An indicator of a strong Fiddlesticks was not when others were unable to find you at all, that would only make them more vigilant. It was that when they did see you, they would not be able to avoid your two seconds of cursed song and the murder of crows which would descend upon them after flying freely above your head.
This required an advanced prediction of the teamfights, and you would need to be smart in using the surrounding obstacles to help make your hidden jump.
Vision control had always been a learning process, and players who used Fiddlesticks needed to have a good grasp on this, you needed to know if the place you were hiding in was visible to your opponents or not!
Luocheng understood clearly that their opponent had their eyes on his Fiddlesticks and didn’t just dismiss him as a Support anymore.
In fact, Luocheng’s build right now was not very much different than a Jungler Fiddlesticks. As long as he could get a perfect jump ulti, there was hope to defend the base.
Luocheng was extremely careful with his positioning, Fiddlesticks was very squishy, once he got caught, it would be easy to get disposed off.
If Zhejiang University managed to catch him, they would definitely take the opportunity to kill this unconventional Support!
As the wave of minions slowly pushed inward, ZJU team would surely use it to help push forward into their base. If they could hold on just a little longer, Jax would be able to deal more damage to their top lane.
“Uwah!”
As expected, ZJU made the first move to initiate against SHU, and the first champion to jump across the wall was the ultimate tank—Renekton!
Feilong initiated with his ulti and propelled himself forward like a fish swimming in water. He used the minions to create a path, opening his massive jaws to bite right into Yang Ying!
They planned to get rid of Yang Ying’s Mid first!
Sure enough, all of ZJU members were raining their skills down onto Yang Ying’s Mid!
Ding!
Yang Ying cocked his eyebrow, pressing the ‘1’ button immediately and activated Zhonya’s Hourglass.
“Diving the turret to forcefully get a kill? ZJU really went all in, but Zhonya’s…Feilong chose to stun a target which has Zhonya’s, that wasn’t a very smart move!” The host narrated as her voice sharpened and hurried.
Feilong didn’t panic when Zhonya’s activated, instead, he calmly turned his sights onto Fiddlesticks instead. Fiddlesticks had retreated backward behind the Inhibitor, and at the corner of the vision, you could see him spreading his arms.
He was channeling his ulti!
The corner of Feilong’s mouth curved up, and he directed his teammates, “Scatter!”
The moment Feilong spoke, the ZJU members who had been aggressively pushing the turret to get the kills came to an abrupt halt and immediately retreated from the area that Fiddlesticks would jump to!
“They have scattered! It looks like ZJU was baiting out their opponent’s Zhonya’s and Fiddlesticks’ ulti! This means his ulti has been wasted…” The host remarked hastily as she looked at the screen.
They looked like they were aiming to bring down the turret, when in fact, they had only wanted to bait out Fiddlesticks’ ulti. With this, Zhejiang University had an eighty percent chance to win this upcoming teamfight!
You had to admit that Feilong’s strategy to bait them out was ingenious!
However…
After two seconds, when everyone expected Fiddlesticks to jump out as usual and waddle around cutely but unable to reach anyone, nothing happened.
“Eh, didn’t Fiddlesticks ulti?” The host said, confused.
All eyes fell on Luocheng’s Fiddlesticks who was at the corner. Suddenly, everyone’s eyes widened, and some were even speechless as they watched Fiddlesticks who was swinging in place!
“F*ck, what is happening?”
“This…this is…?”
The host was also staring at the screen, watching as Fiddlesticks posed like a scarecrow on the spot…
What the heck, this as*hole didn’t even ulti!
And it was…it was taunting!
That’s right, it was the taunt move!
In such an extremely intense teamfight where everyone felt like no hands were enough, this guy had deliberately positioned himself in a seemingly hidden corner. Just when everyone thought he was going to launch a Crowstorm, instead of pressing the R key, he had pressed CTRL+2, activating the taunting dance of the Harbinger of Doom!
What was even more shocking was that the ridiculousness of such gesture was what made the ZJU team assume that he was spreading his arms to channel his ulti…
It wasn’t the cute jump which would miss, but it was ZJU’s team that was scared away!
“F*ck!”
“Sh*t”
“This as*hole!”
All the members of ZJU started cursing, and Feilong’s mouth which had been curving up previously also froze. His face morphed into a twisted expression instead, making it hard to look at his unsightly face.
In addition to embarrassment, his heart was getting heavier because this Fiddlesticks player was just amazing!
Leaving aside the laughter toward him, this was not a game his heart was ready to play!
With such a tense atmosphere, Feilong had activated his ulti, giving the other side the impression that they were going to force their way into the base.
SHU’s Mid and other two members had taken the bait and took on a defensive position, while Fiddlesticks had retreated to the back and made some movement. Feilong assumed that Fiddlesticks was channeling his ulti and had instructed his team to scatter.
What he didn’t expect was that Fiddlesticks was stable and calm, and even more surprisingly, this guy had actually used the taunt to trick him instead!
Many players knew that pressing the CTRL+ numbers would let the champion either dance, taunt or laugh, but who would have thought that these actions could be used to pretend that the ulti was being channeled and im turn, be used to frighten the opponents?
In Feilong’s point of view, this was not a funny behavior at all. This was a skill so high that there wasn’t anything higher than that, and whether in or out of the country, Feilong had never met anyone who had used this before!
A chilling breath came forth as he stared at that calm, wise, and arrogant scarecrow…
He saw through the temptations and tricks, and had managed to pretend to panic as he hid in the corner to activate his ulti. When Luocheng managed to trick Feilong into thinking he was really going to activitate his ulti, he instead stood at the same spot and laughed like a devil at his stupidity!
The more this guy laughed, the more fearful and disturbed Feilong felt. He was far calmer, wiser, and more stable than he had ever imagined!
“DEMACIA!”
A loud shout resounded, and Jarvan activated his ulti, forcing Renekton to be trapped inside the turret range.
Bamf!
Jarvan Flashed out from the terrain and left Renekton inside it. This was a good move as it trapped Renekton under the turret, letting him get hit continuously by it. It also stopped the other four ZHU champions from unleashing all their skills.
Renekton didn’t have Flash, and being trapped in Jarvan’s ulti, he could only wait it out while getting hit by the turret.
Feilong’s face was unreadable as he watched Jax reach their highground, they couldn’t drag this on anymore!
“Force your way in, there’s no time anymore!” Feilong shouted.
Tanking the turret damage as he waited out Jarvan’s ulti, Feilong moved to the side and the turret targeted the Jungler instead, shifting the damage. His intentions were clear!
Even without his abilities, Renekton was a force to be reckoned with. He zoned Yang Ying and Jinbei’s Corki out of the fight area, not giving them a chance to deal any damage.
“Kill the Jarvan first!” Feilong instructed.
The rest of the team immediately turned their eyes and unleashed all their abilities on Jarvan.
Jarvan was SHU’s only front liner, if he went down, their ADC and Mid would have a hard time dealing their damage in peace!
The best item on Fiddlesticks was a Zhonya’s, and the damage he could deal was limited!
***
“Turn around and fight, ignore Renekton, his skills are all on cool down!” Luocheng was instructing his team at the same time.
They couldn’t wait anymore!
If they panicked now, the flaws in their formation would be obvious!
Luocheng didn’t hesitate as he slammed his finger down, activating his ulti. The position in which he activated his ulti had already taken into account the Flash distance of their opponents, there would definitely not be anyone who could interrupt his channeling in these two seconds!
The distance was a bit far, but this would have to depend on Jarvan’s EQ combo!
Xiao Jia’s previous ulti was beautifully executed with his Flash, trapping Renekton in his ulti and forcing them to fight. Although his hands were numb and shaking, Luocheng’s highly skilled ridicule and deception had given Xiao Jia the confidence!
With a person who had won the world’s stage before in their team, why would they need to fear a university team?
Xiao Jia had kept his E skill even though he used his Flash previously. He knew that within this time frame, his EQ combo was the best match with Fiddlestick’s ulti, it was even more valuable than Flash now, how could he simply throw it away!
He threw his flag, and the Demacian Flag plunged into the stone floor.
Dragon Strike!
Jarvan flew like a dragon outward and his target was Caitlyn and Diana who were closing in on them!
Fly!
Diana and Caitlyn were so focused on their assault that they were careless with their positions, and Jarvan rammed into them, launching them into the air!
“Beautiful!” Luocheng shouted.
The two arms that welcomed the darkness and demons were stretched out, the deceiving curse already flowing from his mouth!
The two seconds for the spell to be channeled were silent…
Then you will savor the Crowstorm!
***
No matter if it was a Mid, Jungler, or Support, without any resources, The Harbinger of Doom would show you what destruction and slaughter was!
