Chapter 475: Miraculous Prediction!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Team Skycrown was truly a team that did not play by the rules. They blatantly walked through the enemy territory after getting the kill and took down the turret on the bottom lane.
In the face of such a strategy, personal skills and team combo no longer mattered. Team Skycrown had no intention of getting into a teamfight. They had only one objective in mind—the turrets. The moving castle demolished tower after tower wherever they went, and they would always retreat steadily afterward.
***
The line-up selected by Team Skycrown was remarkable. It was something the audience had never seen in the past, and the scene where the entire troop moved across the map at a blazing speed was mesmerizing to the crowd. Team Skycrown had completely overturned how people viewed this game in the past.
They now realized that laning, ganks, and 5 vs 5 teamfights were just secondary in LOL...
The entire auditorium was in ecstasy. The buzzing crowd reflected just how impressive Team Skycrown’s performance had been.
Once the atmosphere was set ablaze, any movement by the player would immediately lead to a thunderous response from the enthused crowd.
Team Skycrown’s spirit was heightened by the positive response from the audience that was prompted by their outrageous play.
They returned to the fountain swiftly and bought their next item. After clearing the minion wave and respective monster camps, they tacitly came together once again.
The entire team was a well-oiled machine, and they were not going to be caught by the opponents thanks to the sufficient vision secured by Luocheng’s wards.
Team Skycrown gathered to take down the Dragon this time, following which, Pantheon wasted no time and moved on to push the bottom lane.
Team Sky had actually wanted to initiate a fight with Team Skycrown as the latter was without their Ultimate at the moment. However, they couldn’t find a reasonable opening to initiate, and any reckless decision might very well end up in disaster for them.
“They are aiming for the Baron next!” Aijing exclaimed.
Team Sky’s rhythm had been completely disrupted by Team Skycrown. After all, they had run out of available measures to recover from the widening economic gap between the two teams regardless of how experienced they were.
After missing several chances to trap their opponents, Team Sky could only scramble off as Team Skycrown had their ulti cooldowns reset.
“The green light beside Sivir has lit up! This signifies that Team Skycrown is once again ready to turn into a moving castle and crush anything and everything that crosses their path!”
The generator was up and ready. What was Team Skycrown’s target this time?
Zhou Yan’s Pantheon had almost reached the enemy’s high-ground via the bottom lane.
From the observer’s viewpoint, the audience could clearly see Kha’Zix and Gragas had rounded to the back and were preparing to ambush Pantheon.
“Zhou Yan, time to retreat!” Luocheng roughly calculated the distance and shouted to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan nodded and activated his Ultimate.
The crowd held their breaths as soon as they saw Pantheon’s mark appear, and they braced themselves for another Team Skycrown signature stomp.
Langjie freaked out as soon as he saw Pantheon leap into the sky, but he was soon relieved when he realized that the other members of Team Skycrown were still lingering near the middle lane.
‘D*mn you all! I am on high-ground now. Come at me with that f*cking speed buff of yours if you dare!’
Zhou Yan’s landing spot from his ulti was odd. It appeared more like he was running away rather than targeting any one of the enemy.
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Zhou Yan did not aim the skill at any Team Sky’s player, but simply used it to shake off Gragas and Kha’Zix that had approached from his back.
“He used his ulti to run. Should we charge now?” Xie Yi was finally sporting a grin.
Team Skycrown’s strategy depended greatly on Pantheon’s Grand Starfall to block the enemy’s escape route. This was no doubt their chance to launch an attack while Pantheon’s Ultimate was on cooldown!
However, Tinghua did not share Xie Yi’s optimism as he felt that something was off. He checked the map where the other members of Team Skycrown had been just a moment ago and figured out that Sivir had quietly activated On the Hunt, instantly turning the entire team into sprinters and disappearing into the fog of war.
‘Sh*t! They’re going after the Baron!’
After grouping up with Pantheon, Team Skycrown had rushed toward the Baron’s lair from the middle lane with Sivir’s speed buff.
The previously easy-going Team Skycrown hastily transformed into a steaming hot battle tank in the very next second after activating all sorts of speed boosts.
They used only 5 seconds at most to reach the Baron’s pit from all that way out. Subsequently, Team Skycrown triggered the rest of their skills and threw it on the pitiful Baron. They not only moved quickly, but were equally efficient in pinning down the giant serpent.

“Team Sky was totally baited! What a great mind-game played by Team Skycrown. Pantheon pretended to push the bottom lane and lured the members of Team Sky there. He then escaped through the air before they could sandwich him! Team Skycrown must have planned this beforehand because they immediately detoured toward the Baron pit once Zhou Yan had caught up with them. Team Sky was completely fooled! They are now scrambling toward the pit, but it’s all too late. They are not going to make it!” Miracle had lost control and yelled excitedly.
It was a cheeky yet smart play. Team Skycrown had not shown any outstanding personal skill nor team play in this match thus far. Instead, they played the psychological game and totally outsmarted Team Sky who had not lost a single match in this term’s LPL.
Tinghua, despite being well-farmed, had very little opportunity to showcase his slick personal skills. He was owning a 3-0 kill score and more than 100 CS, but he just couldn’t find the opening to slash through Team Skycrown in a teamfight.
When they finally reached the pit after using all available means (Flash/Blink/Ghost/etc.), Team Sky saw no Baron but only a Team Skycrown that had gained the Hand of Baron!
Fight or flight?
Team Sky was being put in a very difficult situation here. If they did not fight the buffed Team Skycrown now, it was only going to get tougher later on when the opponents had all of their ultis back.
Finally, Tinghua decided to gamble. “Charge!”
Vulcan’s Rengar activated his ulti and went straight past Team Skycrown’s frontline.
His target was obviously the ADC. The major attacking threat of Team Skycrown came from the marksman, and so, taking out the ADC first would be the same as tearing a limb off from Team Skycrown.
Rengar’s invisibility allowed him to sneak in quietly, but that didn’t mean he was bulletproof.
Luocheng had a good habit when he played as a Support, which was to always carry a Vision Ward around when the opponents had a champion with invisibility. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
Seeing that their opponents intended to force a teamfight, he did not randomly use his Q-skill, but instead, calmly planted his Vision Ward first.
As soon as the ward was planted, the silhouette of Rengar holding a saber was immediately revealed!
He was moving fast toward Lin Dong and was extremely close now. Luocheng clicked the Q button reflectively once Rengar was seen.
However, the aim of his Rocket Grab, oddly, leaned toward his own ADC rather than the enemy.
‘Did his cursor sway? Otherwise, what was the purpose of sending the arm toward your own teammate?’ A lot of the audience inside the hall were ready to laugh at him. This was when Rengar decided to jump on the ADC!
Luocheng had released his champion’s claw a few seconds earlier, thus, it seemed as if Rengar was jumping comically toward Blitzcrank’s robotic arm voluntarily.
“Oh, my, God!” The roof of the auditorium was almost blasted off by the roaring crowd of 4000 people.
That was unbelievable! Rengar, taking advantage of his Unseen Predator effect, had planned to assault the ADC without being noticed. But before he could land the blow, Rengar was forcefully dragged back by a claw that came out of nowhere.
What a miraculous prediction!
None of the previous highlights on Blitzcrank’s hook could be compared to this. One could easily imagine the exasperated expression on Vulcan’s face right now even though the camera did not give him a close-up shot. His mind, like the audience, had to be filled with one common question now.
‘How the f*ck did that happen?’
A blocked shot on the NBA court always drew a big round of applause from the spectators. The impact of Luocheng’s miraculous grab was likened to him blocking and even snatching the ball from Vulcan, who had lost his balance and could only fall beside Luocheng in embarrassment!
Rengar was destined to be separated from his team whenever he used his Ultimate, Thrill of the Hunt. If he failed to deliver any meaningful damage before the skill ran out, Rengar was no different from a tamed puppy!
Vulcan was being controlled and Team Skycrown knew that he had just used his Flash on Lin Dong, so they attacked him mercilessly.
Vulcan, who only had a Spirit Visage and Prototype Belt, could do little to overturn his inevitable fate.
As the important tanker of Team Sky, Rengar died without creating enough space for his backline, meaning that Kha’Zix still lacked sufficient room to attack safely.
Lulu had enhanced Blitzcrank’s speed yet again so that the robot still had roughly 700 units per second movement speed.
Luocheng would not charge aimlessly even though Blitzcrank was extremely fast. A reckless Blitzcrank that simply grabbed the enemy without purpose was definitely a noob. This was because he/she must have not considered whether his/her teammate could catch up. That was equal to feeding the enemy pointlessly.
Luocheng stayed near his team and waited for his Q-skill to cooldown. Once it was done, he rushed to none other than Langjie, the ADC.
Lucian appeared to still have a Blink skill left, however, that did not really matter when the opponents were approaching with the Ghost effect.
Langjie was traumatized by Blitzcrank after what had happened earlier, and he gave up on fighting and immediately tried to flee using his Flash and Blink. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶
“Haha, what a coward! Langjie is acting like a clown when Luocheng hasn’t even used his Q-skill!” Xiao Wang, who had long despised Langjie, laughed unsympathetically.
“Langjie has only done two things in this match—either getting caught and killed, as well as escaping before he is caught, only to still die in the next teamfight.”
Unexplainably, most players were pleased by how Team Skycrown had bamboozled and destroyed Team Sky in this match. For instance, even though Team Revelation and Team 71 usually didn’t see eye-to-eye with each other, Hao Yue was not irritated at all as he usually would have been when Xiao Wang grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from his snack pack. They were too busy laughing at how sheepish Langjie looked.
