Chapter 505: Someone Disconnected?

“Who’s at the other end? Who was it?”

Yisheng, who was in the crowd, started to ask.

“I’m here.” The guy who had Kunti as his ID replied.

This guy called Kunti was from a team in Korea called Team Kimchi. That team could only be qualified as a sub-par team in Korea.

This person was one of the hunters. If Korea also used Q cash, it could be said that he was already paid with it.

“Are you going to fake disconnecting to try and reconnect again?” Yisheng asked.

“I could do that. The problem is, I am playing as the Support. The both of them are not going to the bottom lane.” Kunti replied.

“It’s ok. If we lose the bottom lane, they still would be unable to win against us. I’ll get Jingsiong to go to the bottom lane more. They will definitely lose after we take a few more Dragons even if they resist!” Yisheng said with a big smile on his face.

This might be the time for revenge!

***

To prevent losing the tower early like their previous game, Luocheng and Shallow Dream made up their minds to not go to the bottom lane temporarily for this game.

Also, since it was a livestream, he should play the other lanes otherwise it would get boring.

“Jungle! Captain Yu should play Jungler!”

“The mid lane! Captain Yu, play the mid lane as Kassadin! We want to see it!”

“ADC! I love watching people play ADC!”

With many opinions from different people, Luocheng thought about it and decided to take on the role of the Jungler. That way, he could control the flow of the game.

In the rank he was in right now which was Diamond 1, the ones that influenced the game the most would be the ADC and the Mid. Since most of the champions were tanky, it would come down to who would have more time to dish out more damage. Whoever dished out more damage would probably win the teamfight.

With that said, the ADC might not be able to fully carry the team to victory. If the lane was lost, nothing else would matter anymore.

All in all, Luocheng would definitely be better than the enemy Jungler in a normal ranked match. Under favorable circumstances, he would be able to control the flow of the whole match, not needing to play as passively as he did in the last game.

Not only that, Shallow Dream also had the power to turn the tides in their favor in the mid laner position. Even if he did not fight much, with both of them ganking the enemies, it would be more effective than playing in the bottom lane.

This did not mean that they were not proficient in playing duo at the bottom lane. When they worked together, they never encountered enemies that they could not handle. The main problem was that it would be extremely unlikely that the bottom lane would be the key to victory in a normal ranked game.

During the picking phase, Luocheng did not hesitate and chose Kha’Zix since the enemy did not ban the champion!

This champion was always formidable!

Before Lee Sin was added into the game, there might have not been any Junglers that were good enough to stop Kha’Zix from going berserk.

Everyone knew that the Blood Eagle, Zhao Tinghua, was proficient in using Kha’Zix, but as no one had seen Luocheng play Kha’Zix before, the atmosphere became really lively as soon as he locked this champion in!

The third person to pick their champion was Shallow Dream, and she chose Orianna as her champion.

The only one that could probably play Orianna better than her in the country would be Wu Sen. On average, if she remained vigilant, she could maintain two hundred last hits in twenty minutes and three hundred last hits in thirty minutes in almost every game.

If Orianna was allowed to farm, she would be scary in the late-game during teamfights. Even if she did not get many kills, her teamfight capability would still be terrifying!

Upon looking at Shallow Dream farming, he started to miss playing with Wu Sen.

Shallow Dream would definitely clear the raptors and the wolves too, and with this, she would heavily impact the Jungler’s economy. This also meant that if Luocheng wanted to get farmed up, he would have to invade the enemy jungle to farm.

As soon as the game started, Luocheng wanted his team to get three buffs to start the game off. This would give the bottom laners a chance to show off.

After giving it more thought, it would be better for him to not take the risk. If he lost his grip on the early game, it would be extremely embarrassing.

It was right to think that way. This was because when Luocheng tried to steal the enemy red buff, the enemy Support, Kunti, was already there waiting for him.

Suddenly, a line of red text appeared in the middle of the screen.

How the hell!? Someone disconnected!?

In the first minute and thirty seconds, the Support Taric had disconnected, what kind of bullsh*t was this?!?

Luocheng looked at Taric who walked back to the fountain and wondered… Why were the games that he was playing today so weird? In the last game, his teammates had dragged him down, and now in this game, there was someone who disconnected right at the start of the game…?

Was it really going to be a 4 vs 5?

If it was a 4 vs 5 in his own country, Luocheng would still be confident that he could win, but in Korea, a 4 vs 5 in Diamond 1 would be too hard.

Luocheng could only let the ADC help him take the red buff and then he walked toward the blue buff.

Shallow Dream also played very carefully. It did not take much time after Luocheng had taken the red buff and Shallow Dream had already placed a ward in the bush to the left of the mid lane to prevent the enemy from stealing the buff. The enemy Jungler was Lee Sin. If he was the one who took the red buff, there was a big possibility that they would come to their jungle.

With that ward placed there, Luocheng could relax and calmly take the blue buff after killing the wolves.

It seemed as though the enemy had no intention of invading the jungle. After taking the blue buff, he went to gank the lane.

Normally, a Jungler that had taken both buffs had three choices.

The first choice was to continue farming. This choice was usually chosen when your teammate’s lane was getting pressured and also when you had no ganking ability.

The second choice was to invade the enemy jungle. This was normally only done when you had great fighting capabilities and the enemy Jungler was a herbivore. Of course, when invading the enemy jungle, you had to keep track of the enemies from the lanes.

The third choice was to gank or countergank.

Most people tended to go with the third choice. After taking both buffs, there would be a slight advantage on levels, and at the same time, the effects of the buffs would increase your fighting capability.

Thus, Luocheng chose to gank. He saw that the enemy had placed a ward in the bush near the bottom of the cliff, and he had also seen that the enemy Mid had placed a ward at the left side of the mid lane. Upon looking at the minion wave, the enemy Soraka was pushing rather heavily, the chances of killing her was quite high.

He also did not know why but he would constantly see Soraka at the top lane. Subsequently, Soraka would keep chasing Renekton, and this playstyle confused Luocheng. This was because after one gank, Soraka would be practically useless.

Luocheng appeared where his blue buff was, and with the ward there, he only had one way to gank, and it was from the back of his tower.

The only way that this gank would work was that his teammate had to be engaged in a fight with Soraka.

In such a high ranked game, the teammates that you get matched up with were usually quite good. As soon as Renekton realized that Luocheng was behind him, he made it seem as though he was focusing on creep scoring…

As soon as he reached Level 3, Renekton pounced at Soraka fiercely, spamming his skills on her.

Soraka in turn also had great reflexes, Silence-ing Renekton as soon as she could and also began to spam her Q-skill and auto-attacks.

As the both of them were engaged in a heated fight, Luocheng took the opportunity to jump out from the front.

Soraka panicked and hid in the bush. Luocheng already had his buff but he did not take the risk and chase her into the bush. Instead, he took advantage of the minion wave and quickly placed a ward in the bush!

With a glance, he could see Lee Sin that had already been lying in wait for an ambush!

Luocheng smiled coldly. Did you really think that I didn’t know you would be there?

Luocheng did not pay any heed to Lee Sin and walked straight up the minion wave to cut off Soraka’s escape path.

As soon as he saw the chance, Luocheng Flashed ahead and used a Auto-Q-W-combo, removing the remainder of Soraka’s health in an instant.

The Lee Sin was also not too bad, managing to land a kick on Luocheng. Luocheng in turn did not back down and continued to fight with Lee Sin in the bush.

The bush was split into three parts in the top lane. Luocheng went into the bush and came back out many times while fighting. With this, his passive, Unseen Threat, would be refreshed!”

When the enemy lost sight of Kha’Zix, his passive would refresh. The next attack would deal extra damage and had a slowing effect. Luocheng took advantage of this feature greatly. Upon refreshing his passive, he waited until his Q-skill was ready. Slashing a claw right across Lee Sin’s face, Lee Sin’s health dropped immensely in a second…

Just as this was happening, Renekton leaped in. Lee Sin saw that he would not have a chance to get a kill anymore and could only Flash out.

However, Luocheng did not give up. He chased Lee Sin by going through the bush, waiting until his ulti was ready and then he pounced fiercely.

Lee Sin had wanted to place down a ward to run but was grabbed by Luocheng’s claws!

Double Kill!!!

***

“Damn!!!”

“How was he able to take on that fight!?”

“He’s strong, how did he know that Lee Sin would be trying to countergank from the bush??”

“He is the captain for a reason. If it were me, I would have chased Soraka into the bush and would have gotten killed by the both of them…”

***

Luocheng knew that the audience was getting uneasy, so he explained to everyone using his microphone.

“Let me explain what happened just now. I don’t know if anyone has realized it yet, but when I was taking the blue buff, I was constantly switching my perspectives between the middle lane and the top lane. This was to check the placement of their wards…” Luocheng calmly explained.

“As a Jungler, you should not keep your eyes only on the jungle monsters, but also keep an eye out for what is happening in the lanes. This is to make preparations for the next gank and also to make sure that the enemy will not try to invade the jungle when taking both the buffs. After that, you have to know the placement of the wards of the lane that you plan to gank.”

“This is why I chose to gank them head-on. Also, I knew that there was someone waiting there from Soraka’s level.” Luocheng continued to explain.

By looking at Soraka’s level!?

How did this relate to having enemies waiting in ambush???

Many people had completely no clue.

“The experience gained from the top lane can be calculated, and at a certain number of waves with a certain number of minions, you can then get to Level 3. Earlier, Soraka still had to kill two more minions to get to Level 3, why is that?”

“It’s simple. This was because someone was there leeching experience, and that person was hiding in the bush. Lee Sin is able to clear the jungle faster than me, which was why he was there before me.”
