“So what do we do now?” asked Bing Dong.
“We’ll fight if we can, if not we’ll surrender at 20,” replied Bai Feng, his eyes now reflecting his usual calm.
Up till a second ago, he was playing recklessly because he couldn’t accept the fact that he was being beaten in lane by a newbie.
However, now that he had deduced the true identity of Team Skycrown’s coach, he returned to his calm state.
A player that had been acknowledged by Shallow Dream was not a normal player. This kind of player should be showcased to the world on a higher level for all to see!
“Surrender at 20?” said Hao Yue, shocked.
This didn’t seem like Bai Feng at all!
They were actually going to surrender to this new, green team?
But thinking about it properly, it would be hard to make a comeback in this round.
His jungling had already been completely beaten, not able to farm or buy items. And the top lane was just a lost cause.
Middle lane against Ezreal was slightly better, but once Ezreal gets his items, there was no need to even bother playing the late game anymore.
And at the bottom lane, just seeing how Graves maneuvered was enough to know that not getting killed was already a great accomplishment. There was no way of catching up via farming anymore.
When he said that they’ll play if they can, Bai Feng meant that they would wait and see whether Team Skycrown would end up making any mistakes.
If a small team like Team Skycrown made a deadly game-costing mistake, then Team Revelation could use that chance to turn the match around and claim victory.
***
A team that was worthy of entering the LPL would not so easily give up their advantage. How could a Graves with a Bloodthrister at the ten-minute mark possibly be defeated?
Let’s put it this way, Hao Yue had tried to launch a sneak attack on Graves, but he just stood there and attacked him, causing Hao Yue’s health to deteriorate too rapidly for him to even touch Graves!
Graves was like a game’s final level boss right now!
With Ezreal giving him a W to increase his speed, and his own E—Quickdraw—he could withstand the damage of two champions as his lifesteal speed was superb!
This Graves, he was so smooth.
He would suddenly just throw an E at people’s face.
He really was on another level!
***
Miracle suddenly exclaimed, “Look here, Team Skycrown is intending to make a move!”
The members of Team Skycrown’s were all grouped together, making rounds around the Baron pit.
As Bai Feng’s income had taken a heavy hit, leaving him quite far behind, he was peacefully farming at the bottom lane.
Since Bai Feng was farming by himself without his teammates, how could Team Skycrown just give him the chance to farm for his items? Seeing Bai Feng at the bottom lane, the five members of Team Skycrown didn’t hesitate to head towards the Baron pit!
Noticing that Team Skycrown was intending to make use of their two ADCs’ high damage to take down the Baron as quickly as possible, Bai Feng had to abandon the minion wave in front of him and make his way there.
Once Hao Yue saw Bai Feng heading towards the pit, he glanced back to check the Baron’s health.
He couldn’t afford to wait as the Baron’s health was going down rapidly.
Hao Yue set his sights on Graves, the one who was the biggest threat right now. If they wanted to win a team fight against Team Skycrown, they needed to take out Graves!
“Follow up!” said Hao Yue said, his eyes flashing as he grasped the chance to corner Graves.
Without needing to explain why, he immediately activated his ulti!
Hao Yue’s Vi flew up, a thin red line appearing from her fist, aiming directly for Yu Luocheng’s Graves.
Watching as Hao Yue aggressively initiated the fight, how could Ahri not follow up?
Ahri activated her ulti too, using her dash to launch herself forward to follow Vi.
“The killing duo have made their move and their target is that arrogant Graves!”
Vi and Ahri’s combination to aim and kill someone was deadly. As long as the champion appeared within Vi’s range, and with Ahri’s gap closure, the target would definitely die!
Yu Luocheng wasn’t aware that they had that much hatred for him, and when he saw both of them coming for him, he frantically pressed E, using Quickdraw to head towards his little band of teammates.
“Wanna kill our boss? Dream on!”
Wu Sen roared like a lion and Flashed right into Yu Luocheng’s position.
Using his body to block Ahri’s Charm, he also blocked Vi and Ahri’s CC!
With Thresh standing in front of him to tank all the CC and damage, Yu Luocheng didn’t need to quickly escape. He then turned around and launched a combination of skills on Ahri.
Bang!
Three bullets hit Ahri simultaneously and her health fell to almost one third!
With a follow up of two basic attacks, half of that dropped further!
Team Revelation’s Mid sucked in a breath sharply, this f*cking damage, what the hell?
Suddenly a yellow, moon shaped projectile slammed into Ahri and passed through her, leaving her with only one fourth of her health!
Team Revelation’s Mid was so frightened that he almost pissed his pants. He immediately used the third dash of his ulti to retreat from the fight!
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, a blasting shell that sounded like thunder came from somewhere nearby.
“Ah!”
Letting out a devastating moan, the Mid of Team Revelation watched wide-eyed as his screen turned grey.
He had been killed!
His Ahri had actually been killed!
Disregarding Ezreal’s ulti, Graves’ own set of skills had already brought his health down by three fourths!
His Ahri had rushed in with Vi to kill Graves, but in the end Graves wasn’t killed, instead unleashing such a deadly set of skills that killed Ahri.
This Graves, how the hell is he dealing so much damage?!
“Oh my god, instant kill! Master Graves, how are you so good at this?” Miracle couldn’t help but shout out as he watched.
“I see, this Graves master has gone straight for Last Whisper!”
Generally, Graves players would build Bloodsthirster or Phantom Dancer for their damage and speed.
The fact that Yu Luocheng built Last Whisper immediately after finishing Bloodthirster meant that his only intention was to kill!
The high damage he dealt was due to the critical strike effect, his base attack was actually only at 70.
Bloodthirster added another 70 for damage, and once the effect was fully stacked it would go up to 100. This 100 attack would convert directly to Graves’ skills, and adding on Last Whisper’s armor piercing effect, this would maximize the damage output!
Graves was a very scary DPS champion on his own, one Q plus an ulti and he could take you down in a second. Adding on Yu Luocheng’s item builds, basically whoever comes over, with just one skill and an ulti, no Ahri, Support, ADC or Jungler stood a chance at all.
Once this kind of Graves was shrouded in his smoke, no one in the circle would be left standing!
Many professional ADC players often played a more balanced build during competitions, with Bloodthirster or Infinity Edge. There really were very few people who would dare to try and pull off Yu Luocheng’s bold build.
But he was using it and miracles were happening!
Your combination of Vi and Ahri was very deadly right?
Sure, I’ll let you try and kill me, and if you can’t then let this master show you how Graves will get it done!
“I’m not sure if everyone realized that initially, there were sparks flying from both sides as both were eager to start a team fight. But after Graves’ intimidating roar, the whole world has gone silent…” said Miracle.
Everyone watching the match, from the ones in the stands to those at home, all nodded their heads in agreement with what he said.
With Ahri dying instantly, Team Revelation had completely lost any will to continue the team fight. And Vi who had rushed in, used her Flash and Q to save her life, but they had to let the Baron go.
The other three members of Team Revelation walked around the pit area for a while before giving up the Baron completely. There was no purpose in trying to steal the Baron, doing that would be the same as serving up their heads on a silver platter.
***
With the Baron buff in their hands, Team Skycrown was ready to get the show on the road.
Especially that boss level Graves!
Have you ever seen an ADC heading straight for the turret to tank and attack it?
Have you ever seen an ADC that stood right in front during team fights?
Hao Yue who was defending their inner base couldn’t take it anymore!
Watching as Graves E up front to the turret, Hao Yue once again activated his ulti and rushed towards Graves.
Ahri was also ready with her skills and followed up, this time she definitely wouldn’t repeat the same mistake of letting herself be hit by Graves!
But something happened before Ahri could activate her ulti!
The red line connected to Graves and Vi was flying towards him.
Graves immediately Flashed backwards…
Vi’s ulti was special, once she had taken aim, she would definitely strike the target no matter how far you fly away!
So for Graves to Flash backwards like that, he definitely wouldn’t be able to avoid her hit…
But he Flashed backwards towards a lamp?
The moment Hao Yue activated his ulti, he regretted it immediately. Once Vi’s ulti was activated, there was no stopping at all!
So he could only watch as his champion flew straight towards his opponents, and with Graves using Flash to grab the lantern, he watched as his Vi flew right into the middle of the four members of Team Skycrown.
“Aiyo, this Graves used his body as bait to fish a kill back!”
“Team Skycrown’s coach is really something, using this kind of method to reel Vi in!”
This scene was carried out so smoothly that it surprised everyone.
Knowing that Vi wanted to kill him, Yu Luocheng had stood in front to lure her towards him. Once she made her move, she was caught like a fish on a line, and pulled directly into the middle!
In short, that scene was very miserable!
With his overall ability index of 22 points, Hao Yue wasn’t sure why his intelligence had deteriorated to this extent today. He had spent the whole match with his heart almost beating out of his chest!
Once Vi died, Team Revelation was left without a front liner and their lanes would fall. With Baron buff, there was no problem going straight into their base.
And with Yu Luocheng’s item build, it was all about burst damage.
But he had Ezreal’s W which would increase his speed, and adding on his own E to add more speed, the continuous damage that he had was not low, and Team Revelation’s Top couldn’t withstand the damage!
With the bottom lane’s inner turret falling, Team Skycrown could charge in straight, heading towards Team Revealation’s inhibitor.
Bai Feng also stopped resisting. He knew that this match really was a lost cause and had already prepared for this in his heart.
However, Yu Luocheng’s performance on Graves in lane left Bai Feng feeling tremendously pressured.
This Graves was definitely at a master level, he was even more aggressive than himself. He definitely wouldn’t use the method of tanking turret and attacking it without a minion wave, then turning around to lifesteal from the minions!
