Chapter 416: You’re Playing Support?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The match began and both teams entered into the ban phase, with Team Revelation banning first. Without a doubt, the first champion they banned was Yu Luocheng’s Vayne.

This champion absolutely needed to be banned. The other LPL teams all shared a firm belief that if Vayne was to be unleashed, they would end up like Team Sky!

If it was the previous season, Team Revelation would also ban Ashe. They still hadn’t forgotten the last match where Ashe played middle lane. Using his ulti to pace the entire team led to Team Revelation being helpless and unable to counter with anything.

However, the pick rate for Ashe had decreased in the new season. This was mainly because the tanks in this season were terrifying, able to break deeper into the enemy line. A champion like Ashe who didn’t have any repositioning skills would die no matter what.

The first champion that Team Revelation picked was Lucian!

After all, they were an ADC-centered team, so choosing a suitable ADC was very important to them. In this season, Lucian practically had no nemesis at the bottom lane, and there weren’t many champions able to compete with him.

Team Revelation made a smart move by banning Sivir. Lucian and Sivir were the two champions who could dominate the bottom lane, putting the other champions playing against them at a disadvantage. Banning Sivir was basically giving Team Revelation a strong advantage for the bottom lane!

“Team Revelation is strongest with their bottom lane, and Team Skycrown also seems to be more aggressive with their bottom lane, because Fighting Hawk’s ADC also dominates the sky...” mused Bao Jun as he watched the picks and bans on the screen.

Both teams were strong in their bottom lane, everything just depended on which team would be able to obtain control over the other. Bottom lane always seemed to be the most peaceful lane, but it was also one of the battles that could affect the rhythm of the entire game. This is because it’s connected to one of the key objectives—the jungle creep, Dragon.

In terms of picking champions, Team Skycrown did so without much thought. They chose The Serpent’s Embrace, Cassiopeia! As Cassiopeia was a champion rarely seen in competitions, Wu Sen must be confident and have his own reasons for picking her.

Zhou Yan had picked Elise for his Jungler role.

Elise was known to be his best champion, and since Team Revelation hadn’t banned her, there was no reason for Zhou Yan not to pick her, He would let Hao Yue see just how fast and awesome he could be on this champion!

For Top, Da Luo chose the ugliest champion—The Troll King, Trundle.

Trundle had been reworked this season. His status as the ugliest champion had not changed, but with the development and changes in the tank items for top laners, he was now a particularly fierce champion for Top.

Their opponent had picked Shyvanna, so Da Luo gave up on Rengar and chose Trundle instead. The reason was simple: he intended to fully control the top lane!

The current Da Luo had an increased champion pool. He could adapt to his opponent’s choice of champion and make his pick based on that, to achieve the most effective counter. Unlike previously, when he could only play Jax and constantly utilized the four-one split push tactic...

At the bottom lane, Lin Dong picked The Glorious Executioner, Draven, as their ADC.

“Fighting Hawk actually picked Draven, this champion is rarely seen at all, especially in competitions. So now it just depends on what Support Team Skycrown will pick,” said Bao Jun.

Everyone knew that Yu Luocheng’s Vayne had reached otherworldly levels and avoided it at all costs. And now, Yu Luocheng had picked a champion out from cold storage—Draven. Could it be possible that he could also play Draven in such a godlike way? Everyone was clearly anticipating what he would do with this champion.

“The champion is locked in... eh, something’s not right. Why is Fighting Hawk playing the Support role?!” exclaimed Bao Jun, suddenly realizing what was going on.

The champions were all locked in, and the swapping of champions and roles had also been done.

But what shocked everyone was the fact that Yu Luocheng was playing Support!

***

One from Team Beijing was wide-eyed as he watched the scene in front of him. “F*ck, doesn’t this guy play Mid?”

When they faced each other, Yu Luocheng’s Kassadin had left a deep impression on One, and he had been ready to settle things between them in the LPL.

But he didn’t expect Yu Luocheng to play Support instead!

Zhang Aijing was blown away too. “What role does he actually play?!”

At last year’s LPL, his ADC had shocked everyone’s eyeballs out of their sockets. Zhang Aijing had purposely decidacted a lot of time to studying Yu Luocheng’s ADC, wanting to know how he had achieved skills that could crush those professional players.

After that, she got the news that Yu Luocheng was playing Mid. Even though she had not seen any of his replay videos, she had clearly seen Fighting Hawks’ terrifying strength as a Mid during the match against Team Beijing. He had been intensely pressured in the beginning, but still managed to make a comeback in the end.

That’s why Zhang Aijing came to the conclusion that as team captain, Yu Luocheng either played Mid or ADC, since he definitely needed to take one of the carry positions. Considering that they would meet in the LPL, she had spent countless days and nights on analysing him, and had also tried to get more details from their usual chats...

And now, in his first LPL match, she suddenly found out that this little b*tch ran off to play Support?!

Do you know how much time I have spent analysing your Mid and ADC? And now you go and play Support! Have you considered my feelings? Zhang Aijing was close to tears!If you like reading comics please visit Webnovel.live

Over at Team Dusk, Team 71, Team Daemons, and even Team Sky...

All at once, that group of people glanced at each other.

Their unwritten rule of banning Vayne was because everyone thought that Fighting Hawk would play ADC. After that he went to play Mid, and his terrifying Kassadin had scared countless people. Everyone started discussing whether or not to also ban Kassadin in this season...

As a result, all analysts, coaches, and team members were slapped in the face by Yu Luocheng running off to play Support. It goes without saying that everyone had astonished expressions on their faces right now.

Alright, alright. Now that the Support role has been strengthened, there is a reason for you to play it. But what’s the meaning of you choosing Kennen then?!

Kennen... is this even a Support champion?!

A Kennen and Draven combination?!

I dare to ask, when you rank at bottom lane, have you met this combination before? What kind of play is Team Skycrown trying to pull?!

In terms of champion choices, Team Skycrown was really astounding, picking all sorts of champions that had been cold storaged.

On the other side, Team Revelation was feeling depressed.

For the sake of winning this match, they hadn’t missed any of Team Skycrown’s replays from their previous competitions. Even if they had somehow managed to guess that Yu Luocheng would play Support and had then researched the most probable lineup and combination...

Who knew that in their first match of the LPL, these guys would suddenly seem like another team with baffling choices of champions?

Team Skycrown, don’t you have a conscience? Apart from Elise, there are no other normal champions in your f*cking lineup!
