Chapter 253: The ADC is Their Weakness

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Pay more attention to the bottom lane. Since the core of the enemy team is the ADC, we should make sure that he doesn’t get enough gold,” Lin Dong said.

“Xiao Bei, can you handle it?” Da Luo looked at him.

Xiao Bei forced a smile and nodded.

Wu Sen patted Xiao Bei’s shoulder, “Don’t worry about it, Xiao Bei is much stronger than whoever that Siyong is!”

When Wu Sen had joined the team, he had had a few doubts in his mind when he knew that he would be supporting Xiao Bei. He could not understand why Lin Dong would invite a kid like this to a professional team.

After much cooperation and training, Wu Sen had slowly realized that Xiao Bei had frightening potential as an ADC. Wu Sen could now say without a doubt in his mind that Xiao Bei might be more skillful than the ADC that he had supported in a first-rate team. This gave Wu Sen newfound confidence.

Siyong had chosen Tristana, a late-game ADC. To pressure Tristana more efficiently, Xiao Bei chose a very strong laning champion, Caitlyn.

There were only so many ADC champions that would be chosen in a professional competition, normally they knew how to use every champion there was.

Two typical little girls, Tristana and Lulu, went to the bottom lane.

Team Skycrown went with Caitlyn and Thresh, a lineup that could apply a lot of pressure.

The champions that Wu Sen and Xiao Bei would pick were already very obvious, all in an attempt to stop Tristana from earning more gold.

If they could thoroughly control Siyong’s economy, the game against Fudan University was as good as won.

Both teams made very careful decisions when picking their champions.

“Fudan University has Zed, the Master of Shadows in the mid lane, Hecarim, the Shadow of War in the jungle, and Rumble, the Mechanized Menace at the top lane. This lineup has solo and team fight capability. There is a small detail that must be seen, that is if the mid laner is an ADC, then the top laner must be an APC. This is to prevent the enemy from buying full armor to counter in the late game.”

Qi Qiao started to analyze the reason for both team’s lineups. After analyzing, she purposely asked for Tinghua’s opinion.

Tinghua didn’t make too many comments on Fudan University’s team lineup. On the other hand, he paid special attention to Team Skycrown’s lineup.

The champion that Da Luo picked was Zac, the Secret Weapon. This champion had gotten nerfed recently, but that did not mean that the champion would be removed from the competitive playing field.

The jungler, Zhou Yan, picked Xin Zhao. With tanking items becoming so strong, Xin Zhao as a jungler with tanky items already received enough recognition. A really strong attack could also be achieved especially with the help of Orianna, The Lady of Clockwork.

As expected, the champion Lin Dong picked was Orianna.

This champion had been seen in too many competitive matches. It was to be expected as the champion had the capability to control, defend, accelerate, and good AOE. If a team fight occurred, her AP would be over the charts. If they didn’t ban it, they had to choose it.

“The lineup is quite ordinary,” Tinghua muttered to himself.

All in all, both teams had picked champions that were well-loved, and these champions were always seen in competitive matches.

There really wasn’t anything more to comment on.

On the contrary, you could feel the seriousness in their picking.

In the first match, none of them wanted to expose their trump cards, they also didn’t want to show their strategies. Both teams were using the normal strategy to lane and gank to test their opponent.

…

“OHHHHHHHH”

Following an enormous cheer, you could see the big screen slowly pan out, completely enticing the crowd.

The camera panned to Team Skycrown’s fountain.

Like a well-trained army, they bought their items at once and were ready to head out.

You could immediately tell a team’s literacy and temperament by watching their start of the game. Many teams would head out lazily at the start, losing precious seconds that provided chances for an opening.

“Team Skycrown seems to be playing very carefully as they are playing defensively. Fudan University also seems to be the same, both teams are unwilling to make the first move!” Qi Qiao said.

Both teams had no intention of attacking, the Supports of each team warded the enemy jungle and headed back to their respective sides.

As the game progressed, you could see that both teams were playing it extra safe, avoiding any life-threatening mistakes.

A very passive early game, but you could feel the tension in the air.

This was the last ticket into the LPL already. This was Fudan University team’s second time advancing to LPL, they would not let this chance slip past them easily. They would go all out even if the team they were facing was brand new.

The situation was completely different for Team Skycrown. They were not coming back for a fight, but were betting all they had on this one match. If the Fudan University team lost, they would still have many fans and still remain very popular. But if Team Skycrown lost, they would lose everything.

Da Luo, Zhou Yan, Lin Dong, and Wu Sen had plenty of competition experience, you could tell from their furrowed eyebrows. They didn’t have the usual easygoing and happy-go-lucky attitude, instead, they were focused and tense.

Luocheng could tell from his position backstage, the four of them had completely different auras.

In Aijing’s records, judging from the data analysis of the past matches, they were weaker than the Fudan University team in terms of skill.

What Aijing didn’t understand was why Lin Dong, Da Luo and Zhou Yan, these 3 world-class players, didn’t know how to hide their skill and advanced statuses?

The hiding of true skill, added up with intentional advanced competition statuses, the difference of skill must be apparent. Even if they started to slowly find the feeling from before…

Laning starts!

In the mid and top lane, by leading in creep score, as time goes by, the numbers would become higher and higher.

When jungling, Zhou Yan had thought that he was one step ahead of the enemy jungler, but his actions were completely unpredictable. A moment before, he was at the top lane, and yet when ganking the mid lane, this guy reverse-ambushed him!

A conventional early game, laning stage, and growth.

When comparing basic techniques, Team Skycrown, a team that was just founded, had already surpassed the very famous Fudan University team!

…

The battle continued on till the 7th minute, and finally, there was a kill!

First blood was taken by Siyong, he had killed Xiao Bei’s Caitlyn, and then used his E-skill to jump over Thresh’s attack.

With accurate calculation and efficient execution, Siyong was indeed Fudan University team’s captain. He broke the tie in the early game by killing the enemy’s ADC!

Siyong pressed the Tab button. His eyes lit up with confidence as he saw that he was in the lead with 5 creep kills and a kill. Caitlyn would miss out on the next wave of creeps’ gold and experience too.

“If I’m not wrong, the enemy ADC should be their weakness. We have all positions leading in economy, we must win the bottom lane.” Siyong said to his Support.

The Support nodded. He could also tell that the ADC on the other team would crumble under pressure.
