They’d lost.

Team Scarlet didn’t even have time to recover from their sudden comeback, and now it was as if a cold bucket of water had been poured on them, and they were unable to snap back to reality. The host who had been so excited a moment ago was also speechless, unable to utter anything. The audience that hyped up previously also quieted down, not knowing what to do, rendering the whole arena silent.

Super Minions.

After Yu Luocheng had taken the four kills at the mid lane, the Super Minions had destroyed the Nexus without showing any mercy. The hammer’s fall was heavy, as though hammering straight into their hearts.

How could this have happened?

It was a comeback!

How could this have happened?

Lux had all twenty stacks on her Mejai’s Soulstealer. If she had just a second more, she could have defended, and their opponent’s base would have fallen instead.

How could this have happened?

Everyone had been with Lux through her journey of switching from a Support to an AP, how could the outcome still be so unexpected!

It was really unbelievable.

No one could have expected Team Scarlet’s Lux to secure a comeback, to amaze the audience so much and yet now, the Super Minions had destroyed that greatly anticipated scene.

It was over.

The Nexus was destroyed, Team Scarlet had the red words of ‘Defeat’ floating on their screens. Many of them could not take their eyes off it and all 2,000 people in the arena were silent.

From defending alone due to sheer stubbornness and perseverance, to the astonishing five kills, and finally when the Nexus was close to being destroyed, everyone had held their breaths. Just as it was reaching the peak, it had all came to an abrupt close. This was such a heart-wrenching battle that no one really knew how to react or what to say.

“It’s a pity, really such a pity.”

After a long moment of silence, the host finally spoke.

“Just a little more, and Team Scarlet would have completely turned the tides.”

“But it was just that little more.”

The host’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears, and Team Dawn was still fixated on the screen. Their feelings were all over the place, similar to Team Scarlet’s. Even during their moment of victory, they didn’t feel the joy that came with it. All they felt was the cold sweat running down their necks.

Just like the host had said, it was just a little more.

It was supposed to be a match that they would win for sure, and it became a close call instead. Their Super Minions had become Winions, letting them claim victory for this match after such a bump in the road. However, there was no victory shout, just them sitting in a daze, their hearts full of lingering fear.

That was the only way to describe their feelings right now—a lingering fear.

They never expected a Support Lux to be able to take them all out. If it wasn’t for the last few Super Minions...

It was frightening to think about it.

Yang Ying and Lin Laowu had analyzed many professional players in the past, they had seen countless masters of the game, but not many could be described as frightening. They had met an adversary who made their hands tremble and the cold feel wash down their backs. He was just a Support, equipped with a Mejai’s Soulstealer and he had almost destroyed the victory that they had thought was easy to gain.

It felt like a sudden knife stabbing their hearts while they were celebrating a victory, and even if the knife did not land on its target, the cold still seeped into their hearts, making it beat painfully for the longest time.

“I’m afraid that no other match will beat the excitement of this one. It is truly regrettable, although the player Yu Luocheng has once again shown us another type of LoL fighting spirit. Not surrendering, not giving up and not accepting defeat.”

“Or should I say, his luck was just a little bad, as he has missed the championship by a hair’s breadth.”

“But no matter what, we are still very thankful to this player for giving such a thrilling game to all the present LoL fans. I’m sure everyone was like me in those last few seconds of the game, not even daring to take a breath for fear that I would miss something.”

The host’s euphemistic way of describing Team Scarlet’s defeat was sinking into everyone as they slowly came to accept the fact.

“There is no doubt that Team Dawn’s strength is still better, their two LoL players who ranked in the top ten in the University League have fully demonstrated their outstanding skills and cooperation.”

“Congratulations Team Dawn, for obtaining the championship in the Lecheng Tournament!”

The spotlight flashed on Team Dawn, and the light that shone previously on Team Scarlet dimmed. Xiao Tongtong, Xiao Dao, Huang Yu, and Xue Haiyang stood up, their faces twisted in an ugly expression. But more than that, they didn’t dare to look into Yu Luocheng’s expressionless eyes.

If they had resisted just a bit more, just a few more seconds, they may have just won this tournament match.

Qin Ying walked to Yu Luocheng’s side, patting his shoulder lightly. He knew that Yu Luocheng was a person who could not bear his own defeat. No matter whether it was a competitive or a regular match, as long as he put his heart into it, he wouldn’t allow himself to lose.

This time, he had really put his all into the game, and even when his team had given up, he continued to put up a fight without a word, and had even managed to create a great opportunity for Team Scarlet.

“Sonny.”

Qin Ying grasped Yu Luocheng’s shoulder, but he couldn’t find the words to say even if you had given him the whole day. Yu Luocheng sighed deeply, internally adjusting his emotions and gave him a forced smile.

“It’s alright. A loss is a loss, they had semi-pro players after all.”

“Sorry.” Huang stood in front of Yu Luocheng, unsure of how to express his feelings. “We... we...”

At that moment, Huang Yu, Xiao Tongtong, Xiao Dao and Xue Haiyang knew that they were the burden on Yu Luocheng’s back in this match. Only when you face a master could you demonstrate the strength of a player. They had felt the pressure from such a strong opponent, and even with a strong teammate, they had lost.

They had even left their seats while he faced them all alone.

“It’s alright.” Yu Luocheng waved their concerns away with his hand.

Not saying anything else, he walked toward the back, grabbing a water bottle and chugging it down.

He wasn’t thirsty, he just wanted to smother the burning fire within him.

He chugged down half the bottle and internally chided himself. He had to, and it wasn’t because of the match that he had lost this time. It was because he had used his own hands to smother that fire inside him, but it was now coming alive again.

This tournament match was for the money.

It was just an amateur game, why was he feeling this heart-wrenching disappointment?

Such annoyance!

Yang Qianqian watched from a distance as Yu Luocheng drank his water, his eyes expressing a variety of emotions. As she watched him, she couldn’t help but feel a bitterness swelling in her throat.

What was he doing?

Why must he put on a nonchalant expression? Anyone with eyes could see that he was beating himself up because of this tournament. Also, the bitter smile he gave before, it was a familiar feeling.

Where had she felt it before?

Yang Qianqian was confused, had she seen him in a competition before? Showing that same expression?

Where was it? Where in the world was it?

Yang Qianqian was furiously trying to remember, but nothing came to mind.

“Manager Huang, look there...” The supervisor said in a low voice to the man beside him who was deep in thought.

Huang Junjie rubbed his chin absent-mindedly, his eyes lingering on the darkened part of the stage.

“Let Team Dawn with the sponsorship of thirty thousand yuan continue to advance into the provincial competitions. After that, call Qin Ying over, I want to talk to him about a long term sponsorship arrangement,” Huang Junjie said.

“Why not an arrangement with Team Dawn instead?”

“Team Dawn’s main two players are already in university. They also informed me beforehand that they were not going for pro competitions. LoL is a game that is hot right now, and Qin Ying has the intention of going pro. This would be good for our promotions and it will be more beneficial for us in the coming years.”

“The boss really has an eye for this!” The supervisor said in a flattering tone.
