“If you don’t know then don’t talk nonsense . I tell you, the Diamonds here when they go on the Korean server, to be able to play until Platinum is already considered very good . He’s definitely playing at Diamond level . The last time I saw him go against a quite famous player ‘Need’, and he actually f*cking won . Come to think of it… Huang Yu, you still haven’t told me . Who the h*ll is this guy and how did he get so great that he managed to maintain such a great pace while playing against Diamond Korean players?” the owner of Rising Dragon Cyber Cafe asked .
“Hehe . If I tell you, you will definitely freak out . Did you watch that video that became a hit? The one with the mysterious player vs the great god Blood Eagle?” Huang Yu said, clearly elated .
“How could I not? Really made me p*ss my pants, I also play Lee Sin but I felt like my Lee Sin is so far off from that . In their hands it seemed like the champions were completely different champions, those skills displayed were practically godlike…F*ck, don’t tell me the mysterious player who soloed against Blood Eagle is him?” the owner exclaimed, with realization and shock dawning on his face .
“Obviously!” Huang Yu said .
“You’re sh*tting me, I know you are . ” The owner said, clearly not believing him .
The people around them were also unconvinced . The one who went against Blood Eagle was surely some boss of some other big club, it was impossible that he would appear to play rank in some small cyber cafe!
“Yeah, if he’s the one who soloed against Blood Eagle, then I’ll kneel down to you,” Huang Mi said .
“F*ck, are you for real?!” Huang Yu’s temper flared after hearing that .
Team Scarlet was well aware that Yu Luocheng was the player who soloed against Blood Eagle, and apart from him, who else could be the coach of Team Skycrown? Even though his face was blurred, it was unthinkable that they wouldn’t be able to recognize him!
Unfortunately, Huang Yu couldn’t produce any evidence to back up his claim!
Not long after, Yu Luocheng returned and he pushed through the crowd to get to his seat again .
“Luocheng, play Lee Sin . Huang Mi this *sshole doesn’t believe that you’re the one who was on Lee Sin when you went against Blood Eagle . He said, if you really are the one, then he’ll kneel to me . ” Huang Yu said .
“Freaking Lee Sin, and I’m on fifth floor again?” Yu Luocheng said, dissatisfaction clearly in his voice .
Yes, Yu Luocheng loved to play Support, but one can also get tired of playing the same position over and over . Yu Luocheng also wanted to play Lee Sin, but the others wouldn’t give you their position, what can you do?
With nothing he could do, Yu Lucoheng chose a lazy Support—Sona . With Sona, even if you use your face to play the keyboard, as long as you activate your ulti in teamfights, it’s all good .
“You know how to play Sona?” Shallow Dream typed in English to ask him .
“It’s alright,” Yu Luocheng replied .
Shallow Dream also knew that Yu Luocheng didn’t much like passive Supports, and although with Sona using Flash does not differ much from Leona’s position, you could say there are fewer utilities on Sona in comparison .
“Then take ADC . ” Shallow Dream could feel that Yu Luocheng was tired of playing Support, and thus said that to him .
“You can Support?” Yu Luocheng said, slightly surprised and with some hesitation .
In the decisive match of Ezreal against Vayne, both of them had already affirmed the strength of their ADCs . Shallow Dream also knew that Yu Luocheng’s Support was outstanding, but Yu Luocheng had not seen Shallow Dream play Support much .
“Yeah, I’ll get something to eat . You take care…” Shallow Dream said .
Seeing those two exchange words, the people who were watching from the back turned speechless!their brains suddenly went speechless!
Playing a Diamond game in the Korean server, you chose Sona and then go eat something?!
Aren’t you underestimating people a little too much?!
Rising Dragon Cyber Cafe had several computers that could access the Korean server, and the better players here had gone over to play there before too . As a result, their ranks had been stuck at Gold and Platinum for quite a while . This included Team Scarlet, and even a professional team like them had gone to the Korean server, but they had more losses than wins .
‘You guys here eating at the side…
‘Can you guys not be so arrogant?!’
To be honest, there were some people who were starting to believe that Yu Luocheng really was the person who had soloed against Blood Eagle!
Shallow Dream played one match as Support, and in the beginning she would support through all sorts of maneuvers, and once she landed a few hits, she would then retreat and let Yu Luocheng 1v2 .
In the later game teamfights, her ulti always seemed to hit the majority of the opponents, and it was the key champions . Yu Luocheng had definitely changed his perception toward Shallow Dream’s Support!
In the next few games, Shallow Dream kept playing Support . What surprised Yu Luocheng was, this person’s ADC was almost invincible, and her Support was also great .
More importantly, most of the Support champions she had picked were more the passive ones that Yu Luocheng wouldn’t use .
Shallow Dream’s ADC was strong even in defense, and wanting to kill her was probably harder than trying to bring down the sky . Her level of protection as a Support was also fantastic—all sorts of extreme shielding, all sorts of godly rescue, even if she sacrificed herself she could still get away with little health left to spare!
She had such a high tactical and deep understanding capabilities!
In fact, there were not many players who could partner and keep up with Yu Luocheng . On one hand, some of Yu Luocheng’s ideas were too advanced, and on one hand, his Supports were sometimes too aggressive .
Bottom lane was a duo lane, and if the duo could not synchronize their thoughts, no matter how could a player you were, it didn’t matter .
In the beginning, Yu Luocheng had partnered up with Xue Yiyi . Xue Yiyi’s strength was limited, and to be frank, he was the one carrying her all the way .
After that he had partnered up with Xue Haiyang, and his strength was about the same as Xue Yiyi’s . This made Yu Luocheng have a harder time farming, and sometimes it was possible that he would ruin the whole game’s pace .

Later on when he played with Zhong Jinbei, he was slightly stronger than Xue Yiyi, but his playstyle was too straightforward and boring . He couldn’t keep up with Yu Luocheng’s pace at a snap .
The only one who could match with him the best, could only be Xiao Bei .
Xiao Bei already had his professional Support—Wu Sen . If both players had a high level of synchronization, then their individual strengths would be fully displayed .
That’s why, up till now, Yu Luocheng had not been able to find the most suitable partner for the bottom lane .
Yu Luocheng felt like he had finally found his other half after partnering with Shallow Dream for more than a week . This person’s individual strength was explosive enough, and he suspected even Asmodai would have followed Shallow Dream’s ADC . After several partnering, their synchronization had only gotten better . They didn’t have to ping each other and they already knew what to do .
This was also the most important reason why they weren’t at a disadvantage in the Korean server!
Every avatar had his partner, and Yu Luocheng considered that he had found his . Coincidentally, both of them were in a similar situation, they were both top-class players who didn’t join in professional competitions!
Yu Luocheng considered this his routine, and he would be on at 8 pm each night .
Shallow Dream would normally be on, and both of them would play in the Korean server . Previously, Shallow Dream would play until ten before going off, and now it would gradually drag on until after eleven . This was she knew that Yu Luocheng was making money from the commentaries in the games, and he needed to play more rounds for entertainment .
“Boss!”
A phone call woke Yu Luocheng up, and Lin Dong’s voice floated through the receiver .
“The video of your game is almost at the top of the LoL homepage!” Lin Dong exclaimed loudly .
“If it’s on the homepage then it’s on it… making such a fuss, what the f*ck did you just say?!” Yu Luocheng exclaimed, his mind riddled with sleepiness .
“Open up your game interface, the lower left corner is the game you played, JX commentator!” Lin Dong said, his glee not diminished in the slightest at his friend’s grumpiness .
Yu Luocheng’s computer had already been shipped out, and there was only an old notebook at home from god knows where Yu Yu obtained from .
There was LoL in it, but it couldn’t be played at all . Yu Luocheng logged in and saw the title at a glance: ‘JX hot commentary, mysterious national amateur players duo queue in Korean server!’
Clicking on it, it brought him directly to the page .
There weren’t too many commercials, and it directly went to the interesting parts that were edited in . The first ten minutes were coincidentally the interesting moments of Yu Luocheng and Shallow Dream’s three weeks worth of games . Adding on the dynamic music theme from LOL, watching the clip would make your blood boil!
The next ten minutes were the actual fights!
The fights were not just one game, but it was from various games all compiled together . Most of them were from the winning games—the one or two fights that after led to victory!
Clips after clips made the audience feel overwhelmed, and later on the movements and synchronization became even more interesting . JX’s usual tone that was usually warm and gentle changed into a more upbeat and excited tone, with paragraph upon paragraphs spilling from his mouth .

When you watch this video, there would be the feeling of a tidal wave in your chest . When you think that the clips you have watched are already shocking, then a more shocking scene would be played!
The video that spanned seventy minutes still made people reluctant to let go, even Yu Luocheng himself watched the whole thing in one go!
After he was done watching, Yu Luocheng was slightly shocked!
This was from the games he had played?!
He himself didn’t expect that someone would edit the games that he and Shallow Dreams had played, and that it would have such a huge impact!
At the same time, one can’t help but admit that JX’s editing and promoting were fantastic .
In the beginning, they displayed the strength of the Korean server, and even introduced a few Korean stars in the video which had stirred some feelings of resentment from the players within the country . Thereafter immediately releasing the video clips of them getting defeated, it really made people want to wildly applaud!
Additionally, the video had clips that showed exhilarating and shocking controls and plays . This video that showed the Korean players getting beaten down was bumped up to the top of the homepage was born!
To be honest, after seeing the video getting so much attention and creating such an impact, Yu Luocheng had the urge to jump out and admit to the world, “This is the game I played!”
“Oh yeah, how much did JX promise to give you?” Lin Dong asked hurriedly after Yu Luocheng had finished watching the video .
“About five thousand, and it’s been settled . ” Yu Luocheng said bitterly .
“Mother f*cker, it’s possible for him to earn at least a hundred thousand from this video, and he only gave you five thousand?!” Lin Dong exclaimed in fury .
Yu Luocheng knew it wasn’t worth it, but he couldn’t do much . It’s not like he could do commentary, what more edit clips .
Even if he had all the materials, he had to admit that the people around him wouldn’t have been able to achieve the impact that JX had .
Playing well is one aspect, but the popularity and the abilities of others are also important . If there was someone in Team Skycrown that could edit videos and could do the commentary to ignite such atmosphere and had the resources, the money earned from it would all be in their pockets .
Sure enough, in this age of social media, just having the ability to play well was not good enough . They also needed to understand branding and advertising .
Unfortunately, there was no one around them that had this talent . Money earned by people who had the talent—he couldn’t criticize that either .
“Do you want me to ask Meiqi to boost you on the internet platform? If you admit that you’re the person who soloed against Blood Eagle—admit that the player in this video is you, you can probably attract a lot of popularity too . I hear that other people stream live on their OT and YY, some even have a stable income from that of over ten thousand a month,” Lin Dong said .
“It’s that high?!” Yu Luocheng asked in astonishment .
The basic income of a professional player was only about a few thousand a month, and those that livestream could get more than ten thousand a month?!
That was incredible!
If he didn’t play professionally, using his own capabilities to help Team Skycrown gain popularity by livestreaming didn’t seem like such a bad choice either .

“Meiqi is still learning the ropes for those things, give her some time to prepare those . If we can get a master like JX to help us…F*ck, I used to have someone to do this before, we have a lot of materials to work with, but in the end those people didn’t want to deal with our team . It has to be Sky Club that did something, they used their influence to c*ck block us again, not letting us go through online channels . ” Lin Dong said with anger seeping into his voice .
“Not letting us get our name out there, once it does, we’ll definitely beat them like dogs!”
Lin Dong’s resentment against Sky Club was not made in a day or two .
In fact, wanting to teach Sky Club a lesson, as long as they defeat them in LPL, Sky Club wouldn’t be able to do anything to block Team Skycrown anymore .
Only, can their Team Skycrown really defeat Team Sky?
They have all seen Blood Eagle’s strength, and the other members of Sky Club were quite famous and strong . Even if you take away any of those players, they were still definitely stronger than Team Fudan!
If you were to compare individual abilities, Team Sky would definitely not lose to Team Skycrown . Even their Jungler—Zhou Yan would probably be wrecked by Blood Eagle easily .
And in terms of team-fighting capabilities, a veteran team like Team Sky would definitely be better than Team Skycrown . They had two years to build up, while Team Skycrown only had a few months . In terms of tactical capabilities, Team Skycrown barely had any tactics that were foolproof, and even the tactics they had used against Fudan University was easily countered, what more against a veteran team like Team Sky .
Team Skycrown has entered LPL, but the people on the internet were discussing and were saying that they were basically at the bottom of LPL .
The analyst and internet were not wrong, but hopefully Team Skycrown would improve to be much better, more mature, and more perfect before the start of LPL!
Strength can be practiced and slowly build up . Apart from Xiao Bei, the rest of Team Skycrown had loads of experience in big competitions . There were many uncertainties in big competitions—a unique tactic and gameplay could possibly become the key to victory .
Knowing that Team Skycrown still had a lot of shortcomings, Yu Luocheng was not arrogant or complacent .
Work hard and the day they defeat Team Sky would be when Team Skycrown would rise for real . The past that was sealed in blood would be announced to the public that it definitely was not the four of them that had betrayed anyone!
Now, let Team Sky use their despicable means to block them at any means .
They would definitely take back whatever that belonged to them!
