Chapter 104
“With that Triple Kill and Glory from Mejai’s Soulstealer, Lux has a sum of gold now,” the host stated . “Now let’s see what she’ll buy with it . ”

All eyes were on Lux, eagerly anticipating what other things she would come up with .
“Athena’s Unholy Grail, a 14-stack Mejai’s, Sorcerer’s Shoes, Void Staff, and a Needlessly Large Rod!” The host exclaimed . “Oh, this isn’t any different to a normal mid lane AP build!”
From a Support to an AP, what’s more, in an official tournament . You really had to see it to believe it!
From the last two teamfights, Lux had become fed . Team Scarlet once again had some breathing space, and Team Dawn had yet to force their way into their base in the previous two fights .
Team Dawn had always been rigorous in their teamfights, controlling most of the vision on the map . Following the timer, the Baron should be respawning soon . This time, the Baron would be the most important objective because this was the chance for Team Dawn to widen the gap of gold earned between them and Team Scarlet .
Team Scarlet’s mid lane Inhibitor Tower didn’t have much health left, and this brought doubt as to whether they could hold the Inhibitor there now . It wasn’t looking great for them, and it was obvious Team Dawn still had the advantage in the game .

Team Scarlet didn’t contest for the Baron and this was a sound strategy . In the jungle, Team Scarlet wouldn’t be able to win over Team Dawn, and they wouldn’t be so lucky each time as to be able to dispose of the ADC early, like in the previous fight .
Also, as Yu Luocheng had turned from a Support to an AP, they had limited vision control which was a big problem at present . If they were to aim for the Baron, they could very well be walking into their own deaths .
The Baron Pit was still shrouded in darkness from the Fog of War .
Lux walked cautiously forward, launching her Final Spark into the pit . The beam of light shot through the walls and into the Baron Pit, lighting up the surroundings . You could clearly see the five opponents inside!
The five champions from Team Dawn had been hit, bringing down their health . The ADC had the worst damage, shaving his health down by one third . This was not the kind of damage a Support could do!
“Is Lux assisting them with the Baron?” The host joked lightly, trying to ease the tensed atmosphere .
Yu Luocheng’s move this time was simple, he was merely testing the damage from his recent build . It was obvious that it wasn’t a burst yet, and he was using what Yang Qianqian had used before . Their opponents took down the Baron and recovered their health quickly, not even recalling back to their base, but joining the minion wave and heading toward the mid lane .
It was going to be another wave of assaults, filled with thunderous roars and splashing waves! Team Scarlet had already positioned themselves under the tower . With the Baron Buff, their opponents ignored the tower hits and demolished it easily without losing much health . This time, Team Dawn didn’t tank the tower or dive in, they merely chased Team Scarlet from beneath the tower and went straight for the Inhibitor .

Team Scarlet didn’t dare to retaliate and could only hand over their Inhibitor without any fight . A Baron Buff plus an Inhibitor Tower that added on Super Minions once their Inhibitor was down, things were not looking good . Following their minion wave, Team Dawn moved toward the other lanes towers instead of going for a teamfight .
Team Scarlet had no way to fight the Baron Buff, but they knew, as they watched the bot lane’s Inhibitor Tower’s health rapidly reduce, they had to go for a teamfight . If bot lane’s tower were to go down, they would definitely lose this match!
Xiao Tongtong bit his lip, and moving Singed toward the fray, he activated his ulti and headed straight for Riven, intending to take her out . Just as they thought Team Dawn would stand firm and retaliate, they retreated out of the tower’s range instead .
Xiao Tongtong was already rushing in and he didn’t pull back, but continued the chase instead . His other teammates followed, knowing that if Singed were to die, they wouldn’t have a chance in this fight at all .
The fight had started!
The opponent’s jungler was indeed a great player . His reflex as Singed rushed in was quick, running over to block the path to Riven . He was followed up by Taric, and the Mad Chemist lost a lot of health from this maneuver .
It was once again a chaotic fight, and Yu Luocheng furrowed his brows . This fight was not in their favor, they had left the tower range and under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have a chance in winning a teamfight at all, what more with Baron Buff on their opponent’s side .
Having said that, he couldn’t blame Xiao Tongtong for being so impulsive and rushing in . If they didn’t start the fight, bot lane would have been lost either way and the game would have ended .
“It’s over, they’ve exhausted all their options . ” The host let out a disappointed sigh .
Singed couldn’t beat the gap of their items and fell in the aggressive teamfight . Meanwhile, Jarvan who had been protecting the backline was taken out by Varus, who could maintain a safe distance while launching his attacks . Lastly, Caitlyn, Jayce, and Lux were expected to be completely obliterated by Fizz .
The first to die was Jayce . Fizz launched an ulti and a Q, and Huang Yu was instantly dead . The amount of damage was still a sight to behold . Next, Caitlyn was cut down by Riven . However, Riven went a bit over, and was rooted to the ground by Lux’s Light Binding . The tower did its job and Riven was killed . Team Scarlet had only managed to kill Riven, and once again, the four of them were dead .
While Yu Luocheng didn’t die, it wasn’t because his control over the champion was spectacular, but rather because Lux wasn’t easy to kill in a teamfight . It was a 1 for 4, leaving the Support to defend to the death . This fight had clearly shown that in LoL, it was impossible to win by relying on just one person . Team Scarlet was counting down their revive time .
They had lost .
It was a complete loss this time . Even with Lux changing her items to AP ones, they were unable to turn the tides in this game . The gap between their items, the players’ skills, the teamfights, and their awareness, were just too big . The opponent’s Fizz could easily sweep their backline without much damage to himself, and the Volibear took all the damage that they threw effortlessly . Even if they could retain 40% of their health, the ADC Varus could follow up and snipe them down without needing to come close to the fight .
With that type of combination, how could they win?
Their eyes crinkled with despair and Xiao Tongtong even took off his headphones .
“Sixteen stacks . ” The host’s voice was heavy . “Such a pity, it looks like this is the end . ”
The host had once again unconsciously placed himself in Team Scarlet’s position . More accurately, siding with Yu Luocheng in this match . Team Scarlet’s performance in the previous two fights was unbelievable—killing Riven, having just a 0 . 4-second difference in the fight with Taric, ending Fizz’s unstoppable spree, disposing of Varus at the beginning of a teamfight, kiting three champions to death and taking a Triple Kill .
He had already made an outstanding contribution to Team Scarlet who had given up, letting everyone see the pride of a professional player in E-sports .
But he was unable to turn the tide .
Their opponent was not going to give him the chance to kite them down this time, because they had gone for the tower instead . Once the Super Minions reached the mid lane, Team Dawn would easily take the game .
