“F*ck, you dare to make a Mejai’s! I’ll kill you until your stacks are back to one!” Riven said.
Whoever builds a Mejai’s Soulstealer would always be the biggest target, even more so when you were a Support.
Team Dawn could push the tower as they had three of them, but seeing Lux’s items weren’t bad, they decided that killing her first would take priority. Singed would not be able to defend the tower alone anyway.
Yu Luocheng didn’t head back to the base, knowing that if he did, it would be easier for his opponents to surround and kill him, so he headed toward the river instead. The three champions chasing him all had great repositioning skills waiting to be used. Even just based on movement speed, they would definitely be able to catch up to him.
Now it all depended on how Yu Luocheng would use Lux’s skills to kite them.
Yu Luocheng clearly remembered that Fizz, Volibear and Riven had used their Flash. Watching as Riven got closer, he slammed the Q key down.
Light Binding!
A sphere of light landed on and passed Riven, hitting Volibear who was standing behind her. Yu Luocheng didn’t bother to hit Riven with a basic attack to trigger his passive—Illumination. He knew what little damage his passive would have would not affect Riven much, and if he did turn around, they might catch up to him.

“Lux is running in the opposite direction, she’s clearly buying some time for her teammates to revive!” The host observed.
During a team fight, if majority of your teammates have died, the best move would be to lead the opponents on a wild goose chase around the map. This would give time for your teammates to revive, as well as lengthen the time needed for your opponents to destroy the tower.
Team Scarlet had a good opening for this team fight, bringing down their opponent’s ADC in the beginning. However, the clear difference in their items and levels were obvious in the middle of the fight. Their opponent had three champions left, while Team Scarlet only had a Singed who needed to run when his health declined, and a cornered Lux.
“Fizz has managed to catch up!” The host excitedly said. “There’s just a bit more distance, is he going to use his Q?”
With the anticipation building up, the audience was also on the edge of their seats, quivering in excitement. Lux had a Mejai’s Soulstealer, and it was already at 8 stacks. If he could bring it up to 20 stacks, Lux would be on par with an AP champion.
But she was being chased by three champions, and she couldn’t shake off the Fizz. To summarize how good Fizz’s items were, with one W Q combo, he could shave off two-thirds of Lux’s health. As long as Fizz could touch her, Lux would definitely die at his hands!
“800 yards, this distance should be 800 yards. If I remember correctly, Fizz’s Q can cover up to 700 yards in distance.” The host said. “If Lux makes the slightest mistake, she will be killed by Fizz in an instance!”
Despite the tense atmosphere, Yu Luocheng remained calm. He didn’t turn back to unleash any skills, as he knew the moment he did, Fizz would be able to close the distance between them. Fizz was also clever, he didn’t use his E to close the gap. He knew that if he got caught in any of Lux’s skills, he would also die as he didn’t have much health left.
Yu Luocheng refused to use any of his skills, aiming to run as far as possible.
Suddenly, Yu Luocheng turned and launched a skill!
He didn’t unleash Q—Light Binding, but rather an E—Lucent Singularity!
“Die!”‘ Yang Ying’s mouth curved into a smile.
By turning around, Lux had fallen within Fizz’s range, and Yang Ying’s fingers were already on the Q key. But just as he was about to press it, Lux scrambled into a nearby brush, resulting in Fizz losing vision of her. Once the vision was lost, no matter how close she was, Fizz couldn’t launch his attack.
Yang Ying let out a frustrated sigh, as Fizz walked right into the tangle of lights that came from Lux. The area detonated quickly, but Yang Ying didn’t use his E to avoid the damage. He needed to save it to dodge Lux’s ulti later on.
Yang Ying wasn’t giving up on the chase. He still had all his skills, and the confidence to dodge all of Lux’s skills, that would easily claim her life.
Continue the chase!
Yang Ying stepped into the brush.
Ching!
A sphere of light shot through Fizz, who had just taken a step into the brush. Yang Ying immediately slammed his E key to avoid the bind, but the sphere was shot at such a close distance and Fizz was unable to avoid it!
Yu Luocheng’s bind cooldown was over!
Yang Ying’s face changed immediately. Yu Luocheng hadn’t run away, but was hiding in the brush instead!
“DEMACIA!”
A swirling white vortex gathered in front of Lux’s chest, shooting a beam of light straight into Fizz’s frightened face.
With the two seconds bind, Fizz was not getting out of this no matter what.
“Wah!”
The Tidal Trickster didn’t even manage to use any of his skills before being brutally killed, falling to the ground face first. Yang Ying was dumbfounded.
“Very nice!” The host exclaimed loudly. “Everybody knows, for Lux to land her skills on Fizz is hard. Under normal circumstances, Lux would be dead with nowhere to run. But the player Yu Luocheng is very skillful, taking advantage of the brush to throw a bind in Fizz’s face and ulti-ing him, nicely disposing of the Fizz. This should be the third time that Support Lux has killed Fizz!”
Fizz was Lux’s nemesis, whether it was laning or a team fight. With all her skills unleashed in a straight line, for Fizz to avoid it and take her life was easy. Because of this fact, Yu Luocheng didn’t bother throwing his skills until he had reached the brush, so that his opponent wouldn’t have the chance to avoid it!
In this match, Lux had successfully claimed Fizz’s head three times!
At the beginning of the match, Yang Ying had declared that Lux would be his personal ATM. Now, he had died four times, and three of the times were by Lux’s hand, whether directly or not directly. He had already contributed 1,300 gold to his opponents!
Yang Ying’s face turned black, and Wu Hua, who was sitting beside him gave him a strange look.
“What the hell are you looking at, just kill him already!” Yang Ying said angrily.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you take revenge.” Lin Laowu snorted. “My charge is almost ready!”
***
“Ten stacks! Lux’s Mejai’s has ten stacks already!” The host shouted, bringing everyone’s attention back to the screen. There were rarely any chances to see a Mejai’s Soulstealer, even in normal matches. Even better, it was a Support who had bought it.
The audience was skeptical about even getting five stacks, and now, Yu Luocheng had gotten ten stacks!
***
However, the Riven was closing in rapidly into the battle. The question was, could Lux get out of this situation?
You must know that once you die, the stacks will be reduced by one third.
