Undefeatable – League of Legends

Chapter 453: It Looked Cool!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lee Sin was a champion that was very difficult to master in League of Legends. It was almost impossible for a new player to play him well because this champion had many skills, movements, and too many combos and routines.

An impressive Lee Sin needed to be able to cast a Q-skill and dash over, and then use his W-skill to get to the back of the enemy and roundhouse-kick them back. This maneuver was already difficult because it required fast finger speed.

The faster your fingers were, the stronger the Lee Sin. There were some, that before the second Q-skill had even reached the enemy, they had already planted a ward behind them and cast their W-skill almost instantly to it, kicking the enemy before they even had a chance to react, and that would be the best glorious operation.

For Luocheng to plant a ward while halfway in motion, gliding into a smooth ‘V’ shape, the requirement for that was even higher, not to mention this was in a competition!

When Hades was hit by Luocheng’s Q-skill, his mind instantly assumed that Fighting Hawk would unleash his QWR-combo, Dragon’s Rage, to kick him toward his teammates.

This was why Hades had reacted quickly by planting a bomb beneath himself, pushing himself backward before Luocheng could reach him to bring him into the turret range.

Pity, Luocheng’s skills were higher, and upon seeing that bomb, he managed to turn his path around halfway with the ward and W-skill...

If it were any other professional player with slower reaction and finger speed, he would probably have died miserably under the turret once his ploy had been seen through.

“Is Fighting Hawk making fun of Hades?” Li Hua, the female commentator asked in an odd tone.

“He definitely is! There’s an unwritten rule in our LPL, that other than Hades, whoever taunts the others will die a miserable death. As for whoever taunts Hades, in the end, it will ultimately be thrown back in that person’s face.” Bao Jun said.

“All I want to say is, what was the point in that maneuver? It just seems like Fighting Hawk wasted a ward.” Li Hua said.

“Er, this...that is...”

In that play just now, Hades was able to prevent Luocheng from kicking him backward and could have even turned the tables on him, only, Luocheng had used his smooth maneuver to escape that trap.

But what was the point of that flashy movement?

When Luocheng was interviewed later and asked this question, he replied in a serious tone that of course there was a point in it. This was a psychological tactic. If a Lee Sin was flashy in front of you and you couldn’t do anything, your mind would be very frustrated, and although Hades was a calm person, after being taunted like that, he would also have a feeling of dissatisfaction.

Having talked for a long time about the technical movements in it and the inner mind games, Luocheng felt that everyone was still giving him skeptical looks, and so, he lost his serious expression, raised his eyebrows, and shrugged. Alright, I admit, I thought it would look cool!

So sometimes, there was no need to worship those superior godlike players. Just when you had pondered and studied seriously regarding the reason behind those complicated moves that they do, that maybe they had some bigger reason or secret behind it, it was actually maybe that he just wanted to look cool.

They didn’t manage to get the blue buff or bring down the turret in the middle lane, thus, they definitely wouldn’t give away the red buff!

Why would you even use the word ‘give’?

Pulling out a double Jungler play would mean that all of the buffs should belong to them, when was there ever such a thing as stealing buffs!

Team Daemons had very good awareness and they didn’t scatter once they were able to stop Team Skycrown from their two goals. They had already predicted that their enemy’s next target would be the red buff.

Mephistopheles’s Karma was already on the way there because no matter what kind of fight broke out, there was always advantage in numbers.

“They’re coming to assist.” Lin Dong who had been farming well at the top lane warned the others.

“Yeah, don’t go in too deep. The both of us will take it by force.” Luocheng replied.

Team Daemons had obviously not planted too many wards in advance around the red buff area and Luocheng sent a kick directly onto the red buff monster, using his Smite immediately.

Zhou Yan walked in front, also throwing a combo of skills and using his Smite, it was practically an instant-kill of their opponent’s red buff. Belial was standing nearby unsure of whether to engage, and upon seeing that, his face darkened.

Belial naturally still had his Smite and had been walking up and down the red buff area. Too bad for him, the two Junglers had cleared the buff too fast, not giving him a chance to react at all even though he already called his team to come and help him defend it.

“Hold them back!” Hades instructed firmly.

Leaving right after taking the red buff, if they didn’t take this chance to fight and gain back the previous advantage, they were going to have a bad time in the following fights.

Charon’s Shyvanna at the top lane was already coming from the tribush and Karma was also on the way. Belial saw that the time was right and in no time, Vi activated her ulti!

A thin red line appeared and you could see a gigantic gauntlet flying over, heading for her target—The Blind Monk, Lee Sin!

Luocheng was irritated, the one who had taken the red buff was Elise, why the h*ll was Belial’s ulti aimed at him!?

It was obvious that Team Daemons was focusing on Luocheng, for without his double Jungler tactic, they wouldn’t have crashed that early in the game.

Luocheng’s reaction was fast, and the moment Vi made contact with him, he activated his own ulti, delivering a bone-crushing kick on her, throwing her back!

It was obvious that Belial had used his ulti and was planning to follow up with his Q-skill to control Luocheng’s movement, but Luocheng didn’t give her a chance to do so. Returning it with a kick, Belial’s Vi was thrown backwards and away.

Vi crashed right into Hades who had come to assist her. Subsequently, Hades’ Ziggs was knocked up and didn’t have time to follow up with a combo!

At the same time, Charon’s Shyvanna had appeared. Unfortunately, she had no other CC skills apart from her Ultimate in which she came flying in with.

Luocheng used his W-skill to avoid Charon’s rush and he simply rounded around, sending a Q-skill toward the Krugs.

Once Zhou Yan saw this maneuver, he left the tribush in relief, fleeing the danger zone with his red buff.

Meanwhile, Luocheng used his second Q-skill to fly over to the Krugs, over the wall. Even if Team Daemons wanted to hold him back, it was an impossible matter. Lee Sin was just too hard to kill.

Team Daemons was once again left without success. They had fought in the jungle where they didn’t have much control over and could only use whatever CC that they had, but once they let Team Skycrown have the advantage, their lineup was just too hard to kill. Their own poke composition was hard to hold anyone down.

***

Watching as Luocheng’s Lee Sin made his escape, Hades brows furrowed up deeply.

In terms of lineup, Team Daemons had some of the best combinations because they were going for a poke composition.

A Support Karma, an ADC Ezreal, and a Mid Ziggs. With this kind of lineup, it was also easy to become a push composition, and if ever Team Skycrown was unable to react in the early-game, the game was as good as theirs. This was because although in the eyes of others where this lineup wasn’t suitable and didn’t have much CC, if Team Daemons could grasp the advantage, then it would be difficult to defeat them.

Now, Team Daemons was very cautious. Draven was farming well in the top lane, while Charon’s Shyvanna’s levels and items were obviously lagging behind.

As for Asmodai and Mephistopheles at the bottom lane against Lone Gull’s Dr. Mundo, Mundo was farming really well as well and his farm was only lagging behind by about ten creeps. His level was higher than their own ADC and it was possible that Shyvanna would not be able to perform as well as Mundo in the late-game.

If this went on, they were sure to lose. They couldn’t let themselves be led around by the nose by Team Skycrown!

The only way to not be caught up in Team Skycrown’s rhythm was to guess what the latter would do next.

As a professional player, one of the skills that needed to be mastered was how to think in the other person’s shoes, and so, Hades put himself in Luocheng’s situation, trying his best to guess what they were going to do next.

They had already taken the Dragon and the buffs were basically taken too. In the eight-minute to twelve-minute mark, it was impossible that Team Skycrown wouldn’t do anything. They would definitely make use of their double Jungler play to get an even bigger advantage over them.

What the h*ll were they up to?

There were no buffs, the Dragon had yet to respawn, what would they do?

Hades stared at the portion of the map that was covered in the Fog of War, searching for any signs of Lee Sin.

Luocheng was playing Lee Sin, and the entire team’s rhythm was being led by him as the captain. In fact, the primaryJungler—Zhou Yan was even more cooperative with the second Jungler, Luocheng.

“If I were Fighting Hawk, what would I do between the eight to twelve-minute mark... clear the jungle? No, it can’t be. Gank a lane?”

The monster camps have been exhausted for now, meaning ganking was the only thing left...

Then, which lane would they gank?

Top lane, Shyvanna?

There was no particular need, Shyvanna was also slightly more tanky now. Killing her without an Ignite would be a waste of energy.

The duo at the bottom lane?

That was also almost impossible seeing as both of them at the bottom lane had their Summoner’s Skills, adding on to the fact thatBelial would always be nearby babysitting the lane.

“They want the middle turret...They want the middle turret...”

Like a slap to the face, Hades suddenly understood!

The middle lane turret only had a third of its health left, if Team Skycrown wanted to gain a bigger advantage, they would definitely aim to break down that turret. Next, they would definitely aim to gank his middle lane!

With two Junglers, there was no way any of the lane ganks would be unsuccessful. If that was indeed their aim, they could even turret dive and his Ziggs wouldn’t have anywhere to run to.

More importantly were the two champions that they had picked as their Junglers!

Lee Sin and Elise, adding on a powerful Gragas, the turret was just a decorative item in their eyes!

“They’ll be coming after my mid!” Hades said.

“I’ve warded it for you.” Belial said.

“It’s useless!”

It was useless to ward. Even if you were to see Lee Sin and Elise heading over, so what? Elise and Lee Sin were too flexible, if they came around the turret, his Ziggs would be a sitting duck. Even with Belial around, with such strong champions, they would definitely dare to turret dive in for the kill, especially since a Vi without her ulti was not a threat to them at all.

“Don’t bother planting any wards that are not needed in the middle lane because even if they do come, they will be more alert if there were wards. Let them come to the mid. Mephistopheles, go down to the bottom lane and walk around a bit, let Lone Gull see you, and then come over back to the mid. Char, you do the same at the top lane. Walk through our red buff then make a turn back from somewhere else, hide behind the turret and wait for them to dive in!” Hades instructed, the plan forming quickly in his mind as he gave out the directions to the others.

Belial and Mephistopheles nodded their heads.

Fighting Hawk, I’ve seen through your thoughts, let’s see how you escape from me this time!
