“Those two idiots actually used two Flashes in exchange for my life.” Xu Ben exclaimed angrily.
From a competition perspective, exchanging two Flashes and an Ignite for a Support which did not use any summoner spells at all was definitely not worth it. If they were ganked by the Jungler, there was a high chance that they would die.
In Xu Ben’s eyes, this was how the countryside players played. What happened just now was due to his momentary carelessness.
The judge, Xiao Ya, was obviously shocked. How were they able to kill Xu Ben so quickly? Such aggressiveness! Even so, using both their Flashes would be bad for them in the long run.
…
In reality, that was far from the truth. After the first blood, Ezreal stood at the back. Without his Support, he could only rely on his Q skill to last hit the minions.
What Luocheng did next was disgusting.
Every time Ezreal wanted to use his Q skill to last hit, Garen would be standing right next to the minion, using his body to block Ezreal’s skill so that he would not get the gold or experience.
This made K furious, and this was also his first time witnessing such a crazy playstyle!
On his end, Luocheng still had some wards on him. As long as the ward’s duration did not run out, the enemy Jungler would never get a chance to enter the bottom lane.
Luocheng had put a ward in the bottom bush to get vision on both bushes as he had the advantage of levels.
How did the nickname Bush Garen come to be, you ask? If you still didn’t know how to annoy the enemy ADC and Support by using bushes, you should go back to playing with bots!
Now, it wasn’t that you couldn’t play Garen in high-ranking games, it just depended on how well you could control the lane using the vision of the bush.
“For Demacia!”
Bam!
With a swing of his sword, Sona, who had been trying to get vision of the bush, was sliced by Garen’s sword!
That hit alone took down a third of her health, and he followed up with his auto attack immediately after. In just a second, half of her health had been shaved off.
After that encounter, Garen immediately went back into the bush. Even if Ezreal wanted to give chase, he could not do it, for if he actually did attempt to do so, Urgot would demolish him!
Ever since they had made it up to gold rank, this was Xu Ben and K’s first time being pressured by a Support Garen, to the point that they were actually scared to last hit, and this really left a bad taste in their mouths.
It was probably due to the fact that they were just not as skilled as them in terms of dodging skills, controlling the lane, and positioning.
The two people on the other side were like crazed animals. If you tried to control the lane, they would run up and hit you like a truck. After about two hits, Sona’s healing could not keep up. This really was the worst feeling!
“Hahaha! Both of you actually got pressured by two kids!” The plump guy who was playing the role of Mid laughed loudly.
“We just had a bad start and accidentally let them get the first blood. Now that our levels are almost the same, how could they defeat us? Just you wait until our levels are higher than theirs. At that time, they will be the ones dying repeatedly!” Xu Ben replied.
“Haha, you two noobs… D*mn it!”
Just as he was laughing at them, he was killed by LeBlanc’s combo.
Wu Sen’s control over LeBlanc was inhumanly fast, and a level six combo was enough to kill the fatty without him even knowing what had happened!
In a flash, the kill feed was already zero to two!
Not long after, there was another kill announcement. This time, however, it was Da Luo who had been ganked by the enemy Jungler at the top lane. This was definitely not because he was a bad player, but instead, he knew that the Jungler was waiting to ambush him. Even so, he still played like he did not know anything and allowed them to kill him.
…
The fatty in the mid lane went back to the lane to farm grumpily. Really, how could he have gotten killed?
After he had cleared the minion wave, he began to push the lane. Earlier, LeBlanc had already cleared the minion waves and then returned back to her base. If he was quick in pushing, he would be able to get the enemy to lose experience.
Since he was so close to reaching level six, he walked over to the Crimson Raptors camp.
As it was still in the early game, it was naturally hard for him to farm the creeps, and so, he had already lost one-third of his health. Lucky for him, he already had lifesteal items.
Right after he had finished farming the jungle, the minion wave arrived, and he turned to head back to his lane. Just as he rounded the corner, he heard a loud shout.
“For Demacia!”
Fatty was immediately Silenced, and immediately after that one hit, he had less than half of his health!
He was shocked, wasn’t Garen at the bottom lane? How was he here now? This was the end for him, this guy had even used his Ignite!
He took a look at Garen’s level and deemed that it seemed to be still manageable as he was still level five.
Making up his mind, Fatty tried his best to run into the tower range.
After passing by the mid lane, coincidentally, a minion died, and right at that second, Garen reached level six!
Fatty’s expression immediately turned dark. This could happen too!?
“Demacian Justice!”
A huge sword came crashing down from the sky and landed right on the fatty, killing him instantly!
Fatty took a deep breath and looked toward Xu Ben and K who was in charge of the bottom lane.
“What are you two doing? Why didn’t you tell us that he was missing!”
“I thought he had gone back to his base.” Xu Ben said bluntly.
Since he had gotten the first blood, Garen leveled up rather quickly. Fatty was also killed once by him, and after getting pushed back, his level was pitifully low.
Compared to the Support Garen from the bottom lane who had managed to reach level six, this was too hard on him!
…
“D*mn, it’s the Garen again!”
A well-timed Silence landed on Team Demolition’s Jungler, following which, Garen immediately used the speed from his skill to run away like the wind, making the Jungler from extremely angry.
…
Just as Ezreal and Sona had just finished killing the Krugs and were about to head back into their lane, Garen popped out from the bush beside them and smacked Sona in the face with his sword, immediately running away after.
…
After some time, without them realizing it, Xu Ben and K started to fear the bushes.
They really did not know, but how did Garen do it? Why was Garen in every single bush that they had no vision in?
As long as you were close enough, Garen would come out and strike you once with his sword. If he had the chance, he would use Ignite and kill you!
It was not just the bottom laners who were bothered, the mid laner and the Jungler were also annoyed by him.
Why was there always a Garen in the bush…
Team Demolition could not understand, how could such an unconventional hero, with such an unconventional strategy, make them so pitiful!?
…
“Are you out of your mind? Why did you chase Garen? All of us in the back were killed because of you!”
“I…I…” Xu Ben did not know how to explain himself.
A while ago, Garen had used his Ultimate skill to kill the Jungler, and upon seeing that Garen had extremely low health, Xu Ben had chased after him, even using his Ultimate.
Garen still got away in the end, and not only that, they had started fighting in the back. One of the backliner was killed by LeBlanc, and another one got hit by Urgot’s Ultimate and also perished. The fight had ended before it even started!
Xu Ben really did not know how to explain himself. A Support should never chase after enemies who were low on health, he should have known that. He should never waste his Ultimate and instead, save it for a big team fight, he should have also known that. His main priority should always be protecting the ADC, he should definitely have known that! Yet, in the end, he had still gone after Garen.
That Garen really was ruthless. Prior to this, Garen had already jumped at him from the bush over thirty times!
The feeling of knowing what you were capable of doing but not being able to act on it was the worst. They already knew that the enemy was just a bunch of kids and they were using one of the funniest strategies. They completely had no team synergies either, but even so, they still could not get the upper hand, and this was extremely annoying!
After winning the team fight, Luocheng and his team went to kill the Baron.
After killing the Baron, instead of returning back to their base, they did a five-man push in the mid lane while killing off the members of Team Demolition left and right.
Destroying the tower, pushing the high ground, pushing the two main towers, and then ending it by destroying the nexus.
…
Team Demolition were stunned as they watched their nexus shatter.
It felt as though the enemy had not had that big of an advantage, so why were they the ones to immediately lose their nexus!?
They had lost!?
This competition was by elimination, and so, losing this match meant that they were saying goodbye to their participation in the weekly competition, not to mention the monthly competition!
How could it be? Team Demolition was last season’s monthly champion, they had defeated many famous LOL teams in Hangzhou!
Yet, they had actually lost today, and furthermore, it was to a random team from an unknown cybercafe too!
Why did it feel like it wasn’t them who was playing?
…
“What were you guys doing? I already said that they were going to get the Baron, why didn’t you go to defend!?”
“You have the audacity to complain about us? The bottom lane was lost because of a mere Support Garen! You can go and eat sh*t!” The Jungler fired back.
“Then why did you not come to gank!” Xu Ben was fuming.
They would have been okay with it if they had lost to a strong team, but losing to a team from a rural cybercafe? The reason they had lost was also mostly because of Garen. To them, the past champions for the monthly competition, it was a huge embarrassment.
“Hey beautiful, now that we’ve won, what happens next?” Da Luo smiled while walking toward the judge.
Xiao Ya herself was still in shock. A team that had never seen a competition account before had won?
You guys must have cheated!
“Oh…oh, this is the second bracket for the weekly competition. The monthly competition…” Xiao Ya finally snapped out of it and began to reply.
“You haven’t told me your ID yet. Let me use Garen to Support you, I can assure you that we will win!!” Luocheng said as he patted his chest proudly.
This sentence by Luocheng made Xu Ben frown.
“Um… This… This…” Xiao Ya wanted to tell Luocheng that Garen couldn’t be used as a Support. You wouldn’t even see him in the gold rank.
However, he had already used Garen as a Support to destroy Xu Ben and K, the famous bottom laner duo in Hangzhou. This made Xiao Ya speechless for a moment.
She did not even understand how a team from a cybercafe that she couldn’t even remember the name of, had won!
“I thought we would fight a better team than when we played online. There is not much difference between this and when we played at the cybercafe next door.” Da Luo said.
“F*ck, what do you mean by that! Do you have the guts to play a rematch? We will definitely wreck you!” Xu Ben’s anger started to burst out.
The facade just now, his image as a gentleman toward Xiao Ya, he did not care about that anymore. His image was already ruined, so now, the only thing on his mind was to triumph over this bunch of nobodies!
“One game, one win. Don’t be a sore loser and ask for a rematch, otherwise, the competition will go on and on forever. We want to play against stronger teams in Hangzhou, alright? We don’t want to waste our time playing against your bad team.” Da Luo replied nonchalantly.
“D*mn it! We are Hangzhou’s strongest team! Come on and fight us in private if you have the guts to! This will not have anything to do with the competition, your fees will be completely covered by us!” The fatty said as his face turned red with anger.
One more match?
Qianqian had already started to hide her laughter.
What do you mean a cybercafe’s team? They were an LPL team. Not to mention ten more games, even if they were to play one hundred more games, Team Demolition would still lose to them!
