Upon entering the game, the screen panned over to Team Sky’s side.

 Team Sky’s team composition looked conventional and it was obvious that they had a tactic revolving around teamfights.

 Their Mid was Orianna, their Top was Renekton, Wukong as the Jungler, Blitzcrank as the Support, and Twitch as their ADC.

 Their lineup had a lot of crowd control skills. Once they started a teamfight, after Wukong used his Ultimate to hit two or three enemies up into the air, Orianna would follow up with her Ultimate. Once they had hit Team Skycrown with these combos, this would definitely tip the tides in Team Sky’s favor.

 Furthermore, they had Twitch, which was the champion in LOL that did the most damage in a teamfight. Team Skycrown had to pay special attention when the teamfight started!

 Since he had picked LeBlanc as a Support, Luocheng would not need to use the strategy of switching up lanes anymore.

 Of course, if he switched up the lanes and used LeBlanc as a Support, the enemy Top would definitely be pressured heavily. This was due to LeBlanc’s terrifying damage output!

 It was a very normal start to the game, both teams were playing very cautiously.

 When there was this much tension in the air, it showed that both teams really wanted to win.

 Both teams reached their lanes. Luocheng’s LeBlanc had reached the bottom lane earlier than the enemy bottom laners.

 “Team Sky actually dared to use Blitzcrank as a Support against Captain Yu? What are they thinking!?” The people from Demacia Cybercafe showed their trust in Luocheng.

 It was quite normal for them. Amongst the audience, they were the only ones who could normally play and talk with Team Skycrown. Everyone else would have to line up just to get their autographs!

 “Who knows? Maybe they were scared of Captain Yu using Blitzcrank, so that might be why they chose it. Anyway, Team Sky’s Blitzcrank is also quite strong. Before Captain Yu’s appearance, he could definitely be the strongest Blitzcrank in the country.”

 Team Sky’s pick of Blitzcrank may have been a bit of a gamble.

 When playing Blitzcrank in a competition, they definitely had confidence in their own ability to play the champion. The reason being was that if you couldn’t play the champion correctly and were unable to grab the enemy to contribute to the team, you would just be a sight for sore eyes in the eyes of the audience!

 By picking Blitzcrank, Team Sky might not have wanted to let Luocheng use the champion for some tactic that was unseen before. On the other hand, they also had a deep understanding about the champion themselves, having used the champion in past matches in the competition.

 ***

 In the past, the bottom lane would normally be the most peaceful lane. The ADC would farm safely and happily while the Support would stand in the bush. They would peek out once in a while to show themselves but that was about it.

 Now, on the competitive side of things, the bottom lane had changed a lot. From the moment the two teams would meet in the bottom lane, both teams would use their skills to suppress the enemy from getting last hits and also get the upper hand on levels.

 It was the same old saying, the one who reached Level 2 first would be the winner!

 The champion that Luocheng used was the tricky LeBlanc. This champion seemed as though she could not do much in the lane. Unless the skill that she leveled up first was her second skill, Distortion, not only could she ignore Blitzcrank’s hook, she could also farm the minions while she was at it!

 From a tactical perspective, Luocheng’s LeBlanc and Lin Dong’s Lucien would be the first ones to get to Level 2.

 Luocheng stole the initiative with a trick up his sleeve.

 He did not push the lane too aggressively in the first stages. If he did that, even if they did get to Level 2 first, the enemy would still be able to hide behind the minions, making it challenging to push past the minion wave.

 He cleaned up the minion wave while making sure that it stayed in the middle. Just as he reached Level 2, Luocheng ignored Blitzcrank and went straight for Twitch!

 The play that he made earlier was akin to him taunting the enemy Blitzcrank.

 Hook me, come on, TRY to hook me!!

 If you were Level 1 and the enemy LeBlanc had already reached Level 2, at this time, your Q-skill would only be helping the enemy get closer to your ADC. Consequently, you would see the ADC’s health drop tremendously!

 Why would LeBlanc as a Support become so great??

 There were definitely people in the audience who had this thought passing through their mind. Even so, when they saw Luocheng go past the minion wave, ignoring the enemy Blitzcrank and using both his first and second skills on the enemy ADC, there was a loud cheer from the entire audience!

 The Sigil of Malice had landed on Twitch!

 After LeBlanc’s flawless maneuvers, she immediately unleashed her mirror image!

 Not only did the mirror image have the same basic attack power as the main body, the sigil’s effect triggered and dealt the second part of damage!

 LeBlanc’s Q-skill, Sigil of Malice, had two parts of damage to it. The first part would be dealt immediately and put a mark on the enemy. This mark would stay on the champion for three and a half seconds, and in this timeframe, if the enemy with the mark was hit by LeBlanc, the second part of the damage would trigger. That was why, once LeBlanc hit Level 2, it would feel as though you would take damage from three skills!

 With this set of three skills, it took down half of Twitch’s health, whom Langjie was controlling. This damage output was shockingly high!

 Luocheng had done well, not to mention, he also had runes which helped out. Langjie, who had half of his health shredded in a second, became a rat that could only run away with his tail between his legs!

 “This Langjie really is stupid. Is this the first time he’s meeting LeBlanc as a Support? She was clearly already Level 2, how could he still have the audacity to farm the minions? Does he think he is some bigshot and LeBlanc would not dare to come up and whack him?” Team Stardust’s ADC spoke up.

 If anyone would be a bigshot, that person would be Luocheng. As soon as he got to Level 2, it was the same attitude from him, attacking while he could. His confidence and his skill got him great results. He immediately pushed Blitzcrank and Twitch from the area so they could not get experience!

 They were lucky that the lane had naturally been pushed back. If Luocheng and Lin Dong both stepped up and stood in front of the minion wave, Langjie and Jupiter might die at the foot of the tower.

 ***

 “His skill is already up, don’t go too far in front. If you can’t get the last hit, it’s ok.” Jupiter saw LeBlanc, who was idling in the bush, and reminded Langjie.

 Jupiter had played LeBlanc as a Support before, which was why he knew that LeBlanc’s high burst damage was from a combo of skills. Distortion, which had a cooldown of eighteen seconds, was crucial to the combo.

 That was why LeBlanc as a Support would not be as scary as she seemed. As long as you could push when her skills were on cooldown, you would be fine.

 Of course, Jupiter would not make it hard on himself. Since they had lower levels, initiating a fight forcefully would only incur losses and plummet them into an endless abyss that they would be unable to make a comeback from.
