Undefeatable – League of Legends-Chapter 468: Whose Fault Was It?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What about him being captain?” Li Yun asked, still not quite understanding the significance of this position. It was just a game, at most, she knew that Luocheng was good at the game.

“How do I explain this, aunty. There are differences between a game and e-sports. For example, isn’t playing chess a game? In ancient times, wasn’t there an addiction, and that was chess. However, now if you’re the top chess player in the country, you would be known as a master chess player. You don’t understand how big League of Legends is. Every youngster in Europe, US, Canada, South Korea, China, basically the entire world is a competition. Your son being able to participate in this competition basically means he’s at the top tier! Look, look at the competition venue, it’s not just some small stadium. Look at the amount of spectators...”

Li Yun looked at the screen. After the introduction of the team was done, the camera had switched to the stands and Li Yun was scared out of her wits when she saw the thousands of seats filled to the brim.

This...was this a concert!?

How could there be so many people who were crazy about a game!?

The scene could only be described as an explosion. Some players had even made signs and were raising it high in the air, but it was full of words that Li Yun didn’t understand.

“Aunty, I’m going first, you can watch it.” Gui Jun said, hurriedly taking his leave after ensuring the page was on.

D*mn it, the fact that Fighting Hawk was his own neighbour, how could he not tell his LOL-ranking friends immediately!? Gui Jun ran all the way downstairs as though there was fire on his heels!

Li Yun nodded her head, sitting on the chair as her eyes were glued to the screen.

If it was really such a detrimental game, then why was the scale of the game as exaggerated as a football or basketball game and as lively as concerts.

Professional commentators, professional player introductions, and professional gaming platforms.

To be honest, in Li Yun’s mind, the competitions that Luocheng had been in she imagined to be in dingy, dodgy internet cafes, with some verbal fights between the players, gangsters, hooligans, and what-nots. She had never imagined that the competitions that Luocheng was participating in would be so ground-shocking and spectacular!

“The players are now ready, the screen will take us to the players one by one. Let us use the warmest applause to let your favourite professional player hear it!” The commentator said.

Li Yun’s eyes were still glued to the screen, her eyes watching each of the players. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Team Skycrown started from Da Luo’s end.

Da Luo’s popularity was sky-high within the Demacia Cafe patrons, and many spectators present also liked to watch him play in the competition.

The reason was simple, Da Luo’s maneuvers were cool!

Back when the team had yet to be formed, Da Luo’s Top plays were extraordinarily outstanding. Playing Jax to a god-like extent, teaching Vulcan from Team Sky with his so-called number one Renekton a lesson...

This season, a Top Jax was even more difficult to use, however, Da Luo’s performance on the new champion, Dr. Mundo, had still exceeded everyone’s expectations!

He had a deep understanding for Mundo, and although Team Skycrown didn’t give chances to many opponents to last longer than 25 minutes, if you gave Da Luo’s Mundo 25 minutes to farm, his Mundo would be a boss existence! That was why nobody had ever questioned Team Skycrown’s late-game strength!

The camera was focused on Da Luo and the entire arena went into an uproar!

Top laners, they had a certain loneliness but were able to save the entire world’s wild heart. That was Da Luo’s style, and he rarely ever needed the Jungler’s help at the top lane. Oftentimes, he was like a mad man, bulldozing his way through the few turrets into the enemy camp. He wouldn’t ask to retreat in one piece, but rather, he would ask for more people to come after him to kill him. That way, his teammates could directly attack the enemies’ turrets and base without worry!

“Lone Gull! Haha, I finally get to see him live, the God inside my own heart!” Peng Fei exclaimed excitedly in the arena.

The man in the casual shirt beside Peng Fei had also raised his hands in appreciation, applauding as he spoke to his girlfriend beside him, “The videos that I usually watch is of him playing, and the only in the country who can stand against Lone Gull is Forgetful Laughter!”

Shui Mo had been looking at the screen curiously at first, but when she saw the face that appeared on the gigantic screen, she suddenly felt as though someone had doused her with a bucket of cold water.

Why was it him!?

Shui Mo couldn’t believe her own eyes.

In her memory, Da Luo was a simple and honest normal worker. Unfortunately, he was slightly immature in some places, and that wasn’t what Shui Mo wanted in a partner.

Although...she had to admit that her current boyfriend seemed to treat her well, but it was on the surface only...

At this time, Shui Mo recalled the last time she had seen Da Luo. He had been kneeling down on the street, proposing to her, but she had rejected him.

She had thought that this ordinary guy who had once chased her would just disappear into the crowd, never to be seen again. Unexpectedly, who would have thought that she would see Da Luo here, to see him on the level of a star as he was being cheered on by the thousands of spectators!

Peng Fei had been talking about Lone Gull ever since he had entered the venue, and you could tell how much he admired this person!

What was happening, just what was going on!?

A year and a half ago, he had just been working in a furniture shop. In the blink of an eye, he had completely changed into a different person, so dazzling, making people unable to look at him directly!

Suddenly, Shui Mo remembered that at that time, Da Luo had brought up being a professional e-sports player...

Her thought at the time was, “Childish, nothing more than just wanting to play games.”

Now, in front of her eyes, in a venue which could hold 4,000 people, there were at least five thousand people lining up outside waiting to get it in in order to watch the game that she had thought to be childish and immature.

Who was the immature one now?

***

The camera shifted to Lin Dong and the applause was as loud as ever.

Once the Mid and now shifted to the ADC, Lin Dong had used his unique maneuvers and plays to tell the entire country that Bai Feng was not the only strong ADC.

Also, because Lin Dong was partnered up with Luocheng, the LOL fans and players had happily dubbed Lin Dong as the world’s most lonely and stress-resistant ADC...

It couldn’t be helped, who asked Lin Dong to have such an impactful Support?

Such a lonely bottom lane, always facing-off two opponents by himself but still being able to not fall behind the opponent’s ADC in terms of farm, how many could be found in China?

In addition, as a lot of girls played Support, Lin Dong was basically a friend of women in Demacia Cafe!

The one sitting next to Lin Dong was Luocheng.

Luocheng’s head was lowered and he didn’t really notice the camera in front of him.

Before Luocheng could even greet the spectators, the arena burst out into cheers that were even louder than before!

A lot of signs were lifted higher among the crowd and glow sticks were waving madly, the entire crowd was in a frenzy!

“Oh oh oh, my g*d. Fighting Hawk’s popularity is simply...” The commentator’s voice was completely drowned out by the cheers and noise from the crowd.

When the camera was directed at Luocheng, the cheers were several times louder than the other players. This usually only happened when Blood Eagle or Hades appeared on-screen!

When the noise reached Luocheng’s ears, only then did he realize that the camera was in front of him and his face was splashed on the gigantic screen. He forced a smile on his face reluctantly.

That forced smile was not unusual in the eyes of others, and the audience still gave him their cheers.

However, for the middle-aged woman who was looking at the screen with his face, that smile was bitter and hiding too much pain. The smile was not pure as before, nor as free and easy as it had been.

If she thought about it, after so many things had happened, he was no longer a child that was able to smile so freely anymore.

The crowd’s cheer was very enthusiastic, and from the commentator’s words, Li Yun understood that Luocheng was the most dazzling star on stage!

Yes, this firmly solidified Li Yun’s understanding of Luocheng’s participation in this competition!

This event was obviously formal, grand, and had a lot of supporters...

On screen, he was wearing a uniform, and as the captain, he was saying something to his team, most likely reminders or encouragement. In the face of thousands of audience members, he was so calm. He resembled a protagonist on a stage, intertwining music and light, and he was displaying such concentration and seriousness that Li Yun could hardly believe she was seeing...

Why, why had she never seen this side of him before!?

All these things only showed her one thing, and that was the narrow-mindedness, stubbornness, and ignorance that had gotten in his way!

Li Yun dearly wanted to call Luocheng’s father over, to let him see this scene.

However, would he understand?

Don’t talk about e-sports, even if Luocheng had received other achievements in other industries, his father would most likely not acknowledge it...

***

On the stage, soft rock music drifted into his ears, vibrating his ear drums.

Luocheng stared at the computer screen, unaware that his mother had finally gained some understanding in e-sports and was sitting in front of a computer screen, watching his game.

He glanced at the others and found that Da Luo, Zhou Yan, Wu Sen, and Da Luo, were all looking anxious and unstable.

It couldn’t be helped, they had lost that court case. From a legal point of view, their team would soon be disbanded.

Luocheng had told them that they had to win the game and to leave the rest to Jian Feng and Meiqi, the two of them would handle the appeal...

However, as they understood it, the chances of the appeal was still low unless they could find concrete evidence.

There was still no news on the seventh copy of the contract.

If they didn’t get any definite news, he feared that it would be difficult for the four of them to concentrate.

COMMENT

Of course, when a lawsuit was hanging above your head, so trivial and troublesome, how many professional players could fully focus their concentration on the game?

“Miss, miss, you can’t go on the stage...” Backstage, a staff member was trying to stop a girl.

“I’m the team manager, there’s something important I have to tell them!” Meiqi ignored the staff’s outstretched hand, determined to walk onto that stage toward where Team Skycrown was sitting.
