Aijing opened the door to the room, seeing the captain—Hai Ming swipe his mouse away in an agitated manner. His screen was grey, indicating that he was probably just killed.
As she walked quietly into the room, she was surprised to find that the second team’s bottom lane had been taken down. Looking at the position of Hai Ming’s dead body, they were probably using the 4:1 split push tactic.
Their opponent top lane probably pushed all the way and had taken down the bottom lane turret, while the four other members of Team Skycrown defended under the turret. Team 71 had engaged in a teamfight right underneath it and the result was a four for four. The remaining Mid who had very little health left could barely do anything.
“What the hell are you doing, you should have engaged first with no hesitation. And you, just stick to the ADC and whack him. Even if you can’t kill him, at least zone him out of the fight, why are you being so indecisive.” Hai Ming’s tone was dissatisfied.
Huang Jiulong’s face no longer held any trace of the joking mood that he previously held, and from the look in his eyes, he was frustrated and unsatisfied.
“You’ve lost.” Aijing said, after just a few seconds of observing them.
“It’s just one lane being taken down, it’s not confirmed that we’ve lost!” Hai Ming said stubbornly.
Aijing didn’t elaborate anymore, for Team Skycrown to push Team 71’s second team to this level, they would continue to use the 4:1 split push tactic.
After breaking through one lane with the mentioned tactic, it was basically an unstoppable method. As expected, it wasn’t even five minutes before Team Skycrown had managed to push Team 71’s second team into a dangerous position.
With their Top’s forceful engage into a teamfight, Aijing could only sigh as she shook her head. Their Top—Nasus had Teleport on him, and if you thought that there were just four of them, then you were too naive.
Aijing didn’t think there was any other outcome, for as long as Team Skycrown had one member surviving, Team 71’s second team would lose.

“Shit, it felt like we were fighting against an entirely different team.”
“Yeah, it was all smooth in the first game.”
They lost, they had actually lost.
In the second game, they had played weirdly. During the laning phase, they kept messing up and getting snowballed. Once the teamfights started, Team Skycrown kept using the 4:1 split push tactic with Nasus being the solo. The most frequent thing that would happen was when they had beat Team Skycrown soundly during the fights, Nasus would Teleport down and clear up the rest of them.
In late game, Nasus was practically invincible!
Aijing didn’t say anything, she was well aware of the strength of the second team. In her opinion, even if the opposing team had been formed by that guy, there was no reason for the second team to lose.
But reality was right in front of her, the second team had actually lost!
“Get me the recording, I’ll study it,” Aijing said.
This team definitely deserved some attention.
“Aijing…I…I didn’t record the match.” One of the members said, his head bowed.
Aijing’s eyes fell on the member, her eyes narrowing.
“Didn’t I tell you so many times, every single match you play has to be recorded, no matter who it is you’re playing against!”
“I…I forgot…” The member continued to stutter.
In actuality, he had felt that there was no need to record such a match that was a waste of his computer memory space. Who knew that Team Skycrown would play so aggressively in this second match, to the point that they were caught off guard.
“Aijing, we just underestimated them,” Jiulong said.
“Every combat practice match must be treated as though it is an official competition. You can use your own tactics or champions but the aim of it is to win, how long have you been doing this that you still don’t realize it? If you are still not serious about this at this point, don’t talk about the finals, you won’t even last to the second week of the competition!” Aijing said, her voice cold and stern.
The members of the second team didn’t dare to say anything in response.
“If we meet them in the competition, we won’t lose.” Hai Ming said.
“Hmph, for your sake, I hope so,” Aijing replied.
Aijing left the training room and returned to her own room. Opening her computer, she clicked on a folder on her desktop labeled ‘Team ability information table’.
Opening the folder, the names of ten teams appeared on her screen. The first team on the list was the strongest team—Team Daemons. Clicking on the document, several pages worth of information popped out.
The second team was Team Sky, and similarly, there were several pages worth of information on them too.
Aijing had been managing these documents since she started her career, and the officials had once used her notes as the standard team ranking. Korean coaches, analysts, US, and even Europe, wanted to get their hands on this complete manual. Because these analyzed notes were so detailed and deep, once you got your hands on it, by knowing all the teams inside it, your win rate would also naturally increase.
Aijing’s notes were divided into first, second, third, fourth, and fifth echelon. Every echelon had various team names and general information. Every competition won by these teams were also recorded here. Simply said, it was information on the domestic teams and their strength ranking.
“This Skycrown, which echelon should I place them in?” Aijing muttered as she typed in their name.
Placing their name in the fourth echelon, Aijing closed the document and opened another folder instead. The label this time was ‘Player ability ranking’. Opening the document, a list of names appeared.
The first few names at the top were written in red, and it belonged to the names of those members of teams who were in LPL. At the most top was a name as high as the player himself, that even foreign players feared—Hades!
The captain of Team Daemons, Hades, also the champion of individual ability in China!
Clicking on his name, a similar list of information popped out with his general information, ability index, team-fighting capability index, tactical and leadership index, as well as skill and dexterity index.
The evaluation and analysis of a professional player were mainly on these four categories. Whenever Aijing came into contact with a player, she would use this data to analyze and determine their rankings.
Hades: Individual ability index: 8 points, team-fighting capabilities index: 8 points, tactical and leadership index: 9 points, skill and dexterity index: 1.1, main champions…play style…

Below Hades, the second player on her list was Team Sky’s captain—Blood Eagle. After that, it was Team Revelation’s ADC—Bai Feng. Fourth on the list was their own Team 71’s strongest player, their Top—Xiao Wang.
This form contained the names and personal information of all the first-tier team players, and even some of the second tier teams players were included inside.
Scrolling further down, among the second-tier players, Aijing clicked on one of the player names.
This name was created three months ago, and she had only seen one match that was played by this player. She was also aware that this player was not a professional player, but she couldn’t help but include his name here.
Fighting Hawk:
Individual abilities index: 7 points
Team-fighting capabilities index: 5? 7? points
Tactical and leadership index: ? points
Skill and dexterity index: ?
