Chapter 451: Playing Illogical Cards?!

“Who was it that said the double Jungler strategy was destined to fail?” Number One, Xie Lianda said casually as he turned his head, looking at the captain of Team Sky, Guan Langjie.

“It’s just a small advantage. We’ve played against Team Daemons countless times. A small trick like that may disrupt their rhythm, but their farming and defense capabilities at mid-game is not something your type of teams can imagine!” Langjie shot back, clearly not satisfied.

“Wow, this is the first time I’m hearing Team Sky say that Team Daemons is good. But why do I feel that it’s just a way to put yourself higher by placing the opponent higher just because you’ve beaten this team before?” Forgetful Laughter from Team 71 said, the tone in his voice clearly meant to be insulting.

“Ceh, so what. Do you have the capability to beat Team Daemons? You can’t, but our Team Sky did!” Langjie shot back, not willing to back down from his own ego and pride.

“Yeah sure, we can’t beat Team Daemons…however, none of us have been killed a hundred times in a professional competition. Oh, not even in normal games, or ranked games, not once…” Zhang Aijing said, sliding into the conversation smoothly.

The moment Aijing said this, the rest of the players around them laughed.

The relationships between the other teams and Team Sky had always been this way. Whenever Team Sky used to brag arrogantly about their achievements, no one had anything to say in retaliation…

But now, no matter how arrogantly Team Sky boasted about their achievements and how great their performance was, as long as they started acting up, all one just needed to do was to say quietly, “at least we didn’t get killed a hundred times”.

These hundred kills had basically become a stigma on Team Sky for the past year, and everyone had touched on it at least once.

“We’ve taken the championship in the Demacia Cup!”

“You were killed a hundred times!”

“Team Sky has the most points in the current lead in LPL!”

“Your team was killed a hundred times.”

“Our Team Sky is the strongest team in the country!”

“Hmm, that’s why you were killed a hundred times?”

As a result, any glory from Team Sky was easily shot down, and the only thought inside their mind was, “D*mn motherf*cking sh*t!”

With Aijing’s one sentence, Guan Langjie’s face turned as red as a tomato, whether in rage or embarrassment no one knew, but he couldn’t say another word.

Once he had quieted down, everyone else resumed watching the match in total seriousness.

Aijing had been really annoyed by Guan Langjie’s racket, this strategy of double Junglers had really opened her eyes.

What were the strengths of Team Daemons?

Mid Hades, he was practically a big boss. As Wu Sen was now, where he wasn’t failing to farm from the pressure in-lane, that was already considered to be a big contribution to the team.

Top Charon, his individual ability was good, and after farming up, he would be a beast!

The Jungler Belial, he was undoubtedly the second best Jungler in the country. Pairing up together with the strongest Mid—Hades, they would be invincible and would deliver fatal blows to all the enemy lines!

These three people had defended Team Daemons’ unshakable position, and Asmodai at bottom lane was one of the few ADCs that could go against Bai Feng!

This team was invincible, how would you go about defeating them?

The strongest point in Team Skycrown would be their bottom lane, but was the bottom lane one that could build up to bring the entire team to victory?

Obviously not, the bottom lane was a duo lane. Even if there was a slight gap in strength, it was unlikely to make any significant difference. After all, the ADC’s damage was just left there…

Aijing had been trying to figure out all the while how Team Skycrown was going to defeat Team Daemons.

In the first game, Luocheng had pulled out his best card by using that Support champion, Anivia!

Going through the lane-swap that didn’t make sense in the early-game, they waited until the mid and late-game where Anivia’s development had reached a stage that no other Support champion could. AOE, dividing the battlefield, taking a huge amount of damage, and at that point, Anivia was no longer just a Support!

Unfortunately, because of the gap in the beginning, although Anivia was a Support that could have saved the entire game whether in terms of individual or team fighting capabilities, they were still defeated by Team Daemons.

After losing one game, Team Skycrown wouldn’t take this lying down for sure!

That’s right, double Jungler!

Fighting Hawk was not a meek Support player. If you asked him to quietly stay in the bushes to watch over the ADC while he farmed, it was an impossible task!

Roaming, unexpected roams.

Team Daemons knew that the Fighting Hawk excelled and was hardworking in his roaming, almost on par with a Jungler…

Fine, then I won’t pretend anymore. Let me openly jungle for you all to see!

Who said that a Support had to be supporting the ADC?

Can’t I support the top lane which is being pressured? The top lane was for stronger champions anyway, once you had taken the buff and were able to grasp a good timing, you could completely mess up Team Daemon’s rhythm.

Not only that, the other Jungler could also start his gank at the top lane, so now, let’s see which lane your Jungler intends to help first.

With two Junglers, you didn’t need to loop-gank or side-gank, all you needed to do was to just come out in the open through the lanes behind the minion wave.

Bottom lane would pretend to help Mundo defend his lane that was being pressured, but in fact, was waiting to reach Level 3 to go all-in. No matter what, a fight would happen. There wouldn’t be any duo bottom lane that had such a strong awareness.

As for the top lane, when the minion wave pushed in and Elise was walking back and forth in front of you, what could Shyvanna do?

If you just took the experience while huddling under the turret, you could still be killed by a turret-dive, that was a no-brainer.

If you ran away from the turret, your level would lag behind, and once you returned to the lane, you’d be crushed!

Both lanes already had outcomes such as this.

All of this was already interesting and unexpected, but the most unexpected thing was not happening in either of these lanes, but in the middle lane!

That’s right, the double Jungler strategy was most likely to deliver fatal blows to the mid-lane, becoming a situation where you could die over and over. Everyone had initially thought that Team Skycrown had come out with the double Jungler strategy all for the sake of controlling Hades at mid-lane, but they hadn’t even gone to the mid-lane…

If you took out the duo Jungler and did not go to the middle lane, that was taking advantage of your jealousy toward our duo Jungler and making you more anxious, not daring to overstretch and pressure the lane!

Hitting three birds with one stone! Team Skycrown, pulling off this brilliant strategy, was completely one stone for three birds.

Aijing was becoming more and more impressed with Luocheng, how had he come up with this kind of strategy to go against Team Daemons…

And that was not even thinking about how long these guys had been secretly practising!

If you think about it, they had already lost one round. How could Team Skycrown not pull another fantastic skill out to display?

Aijing had felt that Luocheng was still hiding something before this, and now, being driven into the corner by Team Daemons, it looked like he had finally taken it out!

***

While Aijing was busy blowing Luocheng’s tactic out of proportion, Luocheng, who had recalled to the base to buy his items, was ecstatic inside.

This double Jungler tactic was indeed hitting three birds with one stone, but Luocheng hadn’t thought that he would be able to hit all three birds. Obviously, everyone’s performance in this competition was outstanding, and if they didn’t make any mistakes, then it would be easy to get an advantage from this wave!

That way, the next advantage could be implemented even more perfectly!

“Let’s swap lanes too!” Mephitopheles said.

Draven was at the top lane and he had managed to force Shyvanna to recall back. By the time Shyvanna returned to the lane, the level difference would make Charon’s Shyvanna would be even more pressured, and the gank under the turret from Elise would definitely happen again.

Secondly, Mundo’s level at the bottom lane was getting higher. If their duo at the bottom lane lagged behind in levels, they might not be able to sustain the lane.

That minion wave was really a critical hit to Team Daemons.

“Better not, we’ll lose the Dragon.” Asmodai replied.

Why would you choose to duo at the bottom lane instead of the top lane?

If the top lane was a duo lane, then your opponents at the duo bottom lane could call for their Junglers, making it a team of four to capture the Dragon. And while both of you were in the top lane, by the time you rushed down, you wouldn’t even make it in time to see the Dragon’s corpse.

It was obvious that Team Skycrown had another trap laid together with their lane swap, and that was to bait Team Daemons into swapping lanes to suppress the development of their ADC.

The result of the swap would definitely be the loss of the Dragon.

Hades nodded his head, deciding not to swap as they would lose the Dragon faster if they did.

Asmodai’s leveling was still fine, and with the Support away from the lane, it allowed him to get more experience and level. He would wait for Mephistopheles to return to the lane before trying to control the lane…

Unfortunately, just as they had predicted, Mundo, who was now at a higher level, was trying harder to stop him from farming. He could throw a Q-skill from quite far away and the Doran Shield gave him much more sustain.

“That’s weird, they’re a bit quiet.” Belial said, clearly uncomfortable at this knowledge.

With the duo Jungler strategy, the one most affected was Belial. Even within his own jungle, he was more wary.

The funny thing was, the two Junglers didn’t invade his area, and this led Belial to be able to farm in peace with a peace of mind.

However, the more quiet the other side was, the more Belial felt like something was up!

Finally, Belial couldn’t take it anymore, walking down the river toward the bottom lane.

The minion wave at the bottom lane was still pushing and Belial had a feeling that it was necessary to head downward to protect the bottom lane. Lee Sin and Elise’s gank capabilities were scary, if the both of them were to roam to the bottom lane together, even Ezreal with two Flashes wouldn’t be able to escape, what more, a Karma who didn’t have any repositioning skills.

Walking past the Dragon pit entrance, Belial halted his steps suddenly.

“What the f*ck!” Belial cursed suddenly.

His team members were startled, then hurriedly glanced at their mini map. They found out suddenly that Lee Sin and Elise had appeared in the Dragon Pit!

Lee Sin was Level 5 while Elise was Level 4!

These two guys were trying to steal the Dragon before they had even hit Level 6!

It was obvious that they had been at it for quite a while, for when Belial came into view and saw these two attacking, coincidentally, they had just landed the last hit on the Dragon!

“Too fast, it really is too fast!”

“Team Skycrown had used this trick so fast even though Team Daemons had actually warded the Dragon Pit. Although the two wards were not directly placed in the Dragon pit, one of them was placed in the lone bush at the river, while another was placed in the tribush… These two wards were actually very well-placed and would have been able to seal off the way to the Dragon Pit for Team Skycrown…”

“However, was it really necessary for Lee Sen and Elise to walk into other people’s territory?”
