It didn’t matter if you cast every single skill you had under your belts, I won’t be intimidated one bit!
If Team Sky thought that Luocheng was a mindless berserker who would kill anyone who came his way, they were sorely mistaken. Ultimately, they would be underestimating an E-sport captain who understood and was extremely well-versed in strategies!
Slain? So what?
You have only slain Vayne’s body, and at what cost? How many skills had they used to accomplish that?
Fiddlesticks had used up all of his skills and even his Flash. Ahri had used her Ultimate Skill as well as her Charm while Kha’zix and Renekton had used up all of their offensive skills. Varus too, had used his Ultimate, Chain of Corruption.
True, Team Skycrown’s entire means of DPS were all on Vayne, and yet, one shouldn’t forget that Lin Dong’s champion was Ezreal – his DPS potential wasn’t something to be looked down upon. On top of that, let’s not forget that Yorick possessed a skill that could enable Vayne to get back up to fight another 10 seconds!
And these 10 seconds… oh… these 10 precious seconds…
Right now, Luocheng could kill Kha’zix in 3 bolts and Ahri in 4 bolts. Renekton might need 6 to 7 bolts in him before he drew his last breath.
In these 10 seconds, putting aside his teammates’ DPS, just how many opponents could Luocheng slay?
“Whoa!”
As soon as Vayne was revived, the crowd went wild!
Her first target was none other than Fiddlesticks!
Vayne quickly Tumbled and went invisible. After evading Renekton’s relentless attacks, she quickly caught up to Fiddlesticks whose movement speed had been slowed by Da Luo’s Yorick.
First bolt!
“Thud!”
Half of his HP was depleted! Half!
Vayne’s first bolt after her Tumble had shaved off half of Fiddlesticks’ HP, and this insane DPS had sent all the audience’s jaws falling to the ground!
Then came the second bolt! With it, a fourth of his health was taken away, and then, another bolt hit!
800 HP! Fiddlesticks had only had about 1000 HP!
Vayne had successfully killed him in just 3 bolts, and not to mention, it was an overkill!
Everyone had been confused at first. Why would Vayne chase after the Support first?
Now they knew why.
Those 3 bolts? They were just her appetizers.
“Ooh, Vayne’s going on a rampage! Oh yeah!”
Vayne’s DPS was off the charts, stunning everyone who witnessed it. So, who would be the next victim?
Renekton?
No. After killing off Fiddlesticks, Vayne stepped aside to receive Zilean’s and Ezreal’s movement speed buff before dashing straight at her next prey that was standing at the rear of the enemy line!
This ADC was trying to cut right through the enemies’ defense!
“I’ll open up a path for you!” Da Luo stood at the frontline eagerly.
Upon seeing Luocheng destroy Fiddlesticks and then dash toward his direction, Da Luo instantly knew what his captain wanted to do.
And so, he quickly Flashed toward Ahri and Varus. In just one Tumble, Luocheng had slipped past and evaded Ahri’s Orb of Deception!
Suddenly, Luocheng halted halfway and leapt back, allowing the audience to witness Kha’zix’s spikes and Ahri’s Charm drift by in front of Vayne’s face!
“Oh my God! Vayne has got great reflexes! It’s as though she has faced over tens of thousands offensive skills and evaded all of them in one go! All of them! She glided right into the enemy line and still had everything under her control! So this is what a world-class player is like! Overpowering! Overpowering indeed!”
The ability to leap right into the enemy line and evade every attack that came his way, this level of reflex, control and foresight… just what kind of training had granted him these god-like skills!?
Most of the audience in the stadium were fans of Team Daemons and Team 71. They were here to watch them, not Luocheng’s Team Skycrown. Little did they know that they were in for a treat!
“Thud!”
“Thud!”
“THUD!”
3 bolts! 3 bolts again!
Vayne had used 3 bolts once more to take away Varus’s remaining two-thirds of health that he still had. She had killed him like the pathetic, begging dog that he was!
After shooting her killing bolt at Varus, the cooldown time of Vayne’s Tumble had already ended. Not batting an eye at Varus’s corpse, Vayne fiercely dashed toward Ahri!
Now, how many bolts can you withstand, Ahri?
Luocheng’s equipment had 3 main buffs. They could buff his Vayne’s speed with each kill, this in turn allowing her to have an additional 60 movement speed buff right after she activated her skill. Adding that to her passive skill that granted her another 30 movement speed, she was like a lightning bolt, zipping across the map. Nothing could catch up to her, not even the speedy Quinn. Of course, let’s not forget her Berserker’s Greaves that had an enchantment that granted her 12% attack damage!
Now, with only 2 Spirit Dashes left, where could this Ahri run to?
“This is so frightening! After activating her skills, Vayne is now like a berserk demon queen! She could easily claim anyone’s life as she wishes!” Bao Jun commented exaggeratedly via his microphone.
It had only taken 3 bolts to finish off these so-called Champions? Were they no different than the tower-pushing creeps?
Also, speaking of pathetic fleeing Champions…
Ahri didn’t stand a chance at all, not even after she had fled into the tower’s range.
1 bolt!
In an instant, Luocheng had Condemned Xie Yi’s Ahri to the tower!
How could this be!? Xie Yi had a Zhonya’s Hourglass on him! And yet, Luocheng’s move was too unexpected and Xie Yi had not thought that he would pin him to a tower! With the stun time that was inflicted on Ahri, it was enough for Vayne to take her out!
4 bolts. Vayne put an end to Ahri in 4 bolts, and yes, it was another overkill.
Xie Yi didn’t even have time to use his Zhonya’s Hourglass before seeing his Ahri being destroyed under the tower.
If he was in the game, he might even hear complaints coming from his towers – a complaint about letting the entire team get slaughtered by the enemy between the towers. Not only that, these enemies hadn’t even destroyed one tower. Not one single tower had been destroyed!
Somewhere nearby, Kha’zix was lying low, waiting for an opportunity. He had been hoping to coordinate with Ahri to defeat the recently revived Vayne, however, he witnessed with his own eyes how Xie Yi had fallen. And now, Vayne had her eyes locked on him too!
Birch was scared shitless as he quickly had his Kha’zix running for his life!
“Oh, Kha’zix is fleeing! Team Sky is now ruined! No, they are in pieces!”
Triple Kill!
Right after reviving, Vayne had managed to kill 3 Champions, now, could she pull off another kill?
Vayne, the Night Hunter, was now in pursuit of Renekton. Renekton had already been wounded by the other members of Team Skycrown, and right when he thought that he had finally gotten away from them, he saw Vayne dashing right toward him.
Thoroughly shocked, Renekton quickly cast his Flash!
“Bang!”
He had rammed himself straight into a wall.
Vulcan could hear the laughter coming from the entire stadium, however, what he didn’t know was that those were cries of shock for him.
He couldn’t do this now, Vayne, the killing demon, was right behind him! She could end him in an instant!
Right now, she had a Blade of the Ruined King, her skills were all activated, and she had received a lot of buffs, not forgetting the 19-stack Sword of the Occult.
To be frank, it didn’t really matter even if he didn’t make a single mistake at all. No matter how tanky he was, or how much health he had, he stood no chance in front of Vayne anyway – she was a tank-killer.
“Gosh, Renekton. Just kill yourself now. That’s much better than dying in humiliation.” Bao Jun commented coldly.
…
4 kills!
Right after she had ended Renekton, Vayne stood up and swung her bloodied cape against the wind before dashing out to find her next prey.
Where. Are. You!?
Come out and get it!
Corpses appeared wherever Vayne went. Now, she was just one more corpse away from a team-wipeout, just like earlier.
She was running around the field, searching for that final kill, when suddenly, her body turned into a shroud of blue smoke and vanished into thin air.
D*mn!
In front of this Fighting Hawk, all the top-tier LPL players were like cannon fodder. He basically just killed whoever and whatever he wanted, and not only that, he did it all within that 10 seconds window that Yorick had granted her with his Awakening.
Just how strong was he?
Just how strong was this Fighting Hawk? This… Fighting Hawk of Team Skycrown!
So was this the difference between the national and international players? How could the difference be this huge!?
It was as if they were not even from the same realm!
Now, every audience present believed. They believed in the title of that national E-sports emperor… the King of International E-sports!
…
6 members of Team Daemons were standing at the backstage, staring at the young man who was sitting on his seat like a statue via the livestream.
That was the Fighting Hawk! The actual, real, Fighting Hawk!
Even after retiring for so long, his reflex, skills, and momentum, weren’t rusted one bit. When he took off the chains and locks on him and discarded that stupid student’s uniform, he was still that same king of E-sports. Nothing could stop him!
He had created miracles time and time again. This Team Sky… they were nothing!
Hades’ eyes were glaring at the stage, his fists clenched tight.
These people… Vulcan, Xie Yi, Birch, Mercury, Jupiter…
How dare they take on the Fighting Hawk! How dare these weaklings take him on!?
Weak! They were too weak!
In the entire world of E-sports, only him! Only Hades had the right to face off with Fighting Hawk!
“Asmodai, if your ADC ever crosses paths with him…” Charon whispered to Asmodai.
Asmodai in turn remained silent.
Looking back, Asmodai couldn’t help but feel how foolish he had been when he suggested a duel with Fighting Hawk.
Not only did he not have the capacity and right to take on Fighting Hawk, he finally realized now why they, Team Daemons, kept hitting a wall when trying to breach to international level.
He finally understood just how small and ridiculous they were– the so-called “strongest team in the country” in the eyes of the international players.
This gigantic gap between national and international level… Asmodai felt that he would need a very, very, long time to cross it!
Still, there was one thing Asmodai just couldn’t make sense of.
There were so many giants in the E-sport world who could reproduce this kind of high-speed reflex without any kind of special training.
How did the Fighting Hawk do it?
How!?
…
“Now do you know why Team Daemons respects him?” said Zhang Aijing as she turned to her team.
Team 71, including Forgetful Laughter, quickly pulled their attention back from the screen and nodded.
This Vayne… her killing streak had just made it clear how huge the gap between their, the top-tier players’ skills, and the skills of the players on the international level were. That gap was bloody huge!
