League of Legends: League of Unknowns

Chapter 313: Illogical Graves

Backstage, Liang Gui was kicking up a fuss. Only three minutes into the game and Team Revelation had already given three kills to Team Skycrown, not to mention that their Jungler was heading into a downward spiral.

Calm down, calm down. We’re talking about ten thousand yuan here!

Li Meiqi looked at the flustered Liang Gui, a wicked smile stretching out on her face.

With Team Skycrown playing so well and proving their worth, let’s see if anyone else dared to look down on them!

***

“This Bai Feng is really cautious, not daring to come out at all!” Wu Sen cursed loudly.

In the previous LPL, Wu Sen’s bottom lane was wrecked by Bai Feng, without him even being able to do anything!

Now in this game, Bai Feng had been pressured from the beginning, until he refused to come out from under turret. It was to the extent that he didn’t even dare to come out to gain experience, making Wu Sen sigh in frustration.

No one had ever pressured Bai Feng’s bottom lane to this extent, and it was even rarer to see such a big difference in level and CS!

It was all because of Yu Luocheng on Graves, being such a bully!

After getting First Blood, he has yet to recall to base to buy any items.

That’s why when Bai Feng hard engaged, he managed to bring down Yu Luocheng’s health and safely farm a bit.

But against an axe-wielding Draven, Yu Luocheng was even more domineering in his plays. Oh, so you’ll throw an axe? Then I’ll just throw an E in your face!

When Elise wanted to throw a web at Yu Luocheng’s face, he just dodged it. Since he had already used up all his skills, it was of no loss to him to poke his opponent.

Moreover, once he leveled up and was ahead by one level, it was Draven who took more damage during the few times that they engaged!

Draven’s laning phase was very strong, just a few hits of his axe was enough to slaughter some paper champions. But it was Graves that he was up against, who had stronger armor and defense. It really wasn’t a good matchup for him at all, and it wasn’t good to be weak and stubborn in this case!

“This Graves has really got balls, throwing an E straight into people’s face. He’s not afraid of Elise stunning him, is directly making a kill even possible there?”

“This is called confidence!” retorted Qi Qiao as she laughed.

Qi Qiao had realized that the coach of Team Skycrown is indeed a master unlike any that has been seen in the professional industry. When he was solo against Blood Eagle, he showed extraordinary strength and held his own. Now facing Bai Feng, his movements and plays were confident!

Graves was one of the heroes that Bai Feng was good at using. Many other LPL players had also used Graves against him before, but it was all for naught.

But this time, Bai Feng was facing such a skillful Graves that was so aggressive in poking and also directly throwing skills in his face.

Only a handful of ADC players in the country would dare to rush directly at Bai Feng—it was this kind of courage that made the people watching give Yu Luocheng a thumbs up!

***

“This guy is playing way too safe, I can’t get a chance to kill him at all,” said Wu Sen, his voice clearly frustrated.

Yu Luocheng nodded his head in agreement. Bai Feng was Bai Feng in the end. Even with all the disadvantages in the early game, he still wasn’t showing any weakness in the later part.

Even though Bai Feng lost in all the previous engagements, he was slowly climbing back up by farming!

“Damn, this guy’s farming is more stable than yours!” said Wu Sen as he glanced at the scoreboard, noting that the difference in CS was only about ten.

“Yeah, he took advantage of my engages those few times, baiting me into leading the minion wave under turret. Then he froze the lane there and continued to farm safely under turret.”

Wu Sen groaned. “No way, is he that strategic?”

Baiting the initiate, using Graves’ wave clear abilities, and pushing the minion line towards the turret. Once the lane is controlled by any side, wanting to farm was going to be hard for the other side.

Bai Feng was smart to use this point to have the minions push all the way under his own turret, ensuring that his farm wouldn’t suffer.

It was hard to imagine that Bai Feng was able to calmly strategize under these circumstances.

In a subtle way, being able to use the disadvantages was an important tactic that helped Bai Feng to never lose the bottom lane. Without going through a few close calls, how would you dare to call yourself the best ADC in the country?

“How about we recall and fight with him once more? You have the advantage of getting First Blood and your items are better than his,” suggested Wu Sen.

After going through so much to pressure him to this extent, Wu Sen was not willing to sit back and watch as Bai Feng made his way back up! After all, Wu Sen had a deep hatred and jealousy towards guys like Bai Feng who were both rich and handsome.

If I’m not as handsome as you, then I’ll just f*cking torture you in LOL!

Yu Luocheng disagreed vehemently, “Go back your head! I only have one thing to say, let’s waste him!”

You think you can control the lane?

You’re nuts if you think I won’t come at you with such a level difference. If I don’t do it now, then when?

Even if you’re beside the turret, I’ll still take your head!

In Yu Luocheng’s eyes, using Graves meant abandoning all logic.

Quickdraw!

Taking the chance while Bai Feng was farming, Yu Luocheng initiated aggressively, once again rushing into Bai Feng’s face.

One shot!

Buckshot!

Bai Feng cursed internally, ‘This crazy piece of sh*t!’

No one used Graves like this! Everyone knew that the repositioning skills of an ADC shouldn’t be used so recklessly. Initiating with an E, what was the reason behind this?

Even a saint had his limits, did you think that Bai Feng had that much patience?

Bai Feng’s Support couldn’t take it anymore either!

They were already within the turret range and this Graves was being totally unreasonable. Did you take Bai Feng as some amateur?

Elise knew that this Graves loved to throw his E in people’s face and then use Smokescreen to hide.

This time, Elise knew not to use her E—Cocoon—but instead immediately shapeshifted to her Spider Form and used her Q on Graves!

Yu Luocheng completely ignored Elise, fixing his sights on Draven as he mashed the A button!

Bai Feng was smart, he continued to stand behind Elise while launching attacks on Graves. The precision of the spinning axes was beautiful, and even their first hit on Graves had already managed to deliver quite a lot of damage.

Yu Luocheng’s health was dangerously low, and yet he didn’t retreat!

He threw a Smokescreen, obscuring Draven’s vision!

The blocked vision was the key point here, it managed to seal Draven’s vision right behind him.

Bai Feng now had two choices, he could either step backwards into the Smokescreen, lose his vision, and get back under turret, or he could stand within Graves’ range and fight to see who would die first.

You have to admit that Graves’ passive—True Grit—was really OP!

The longer the fight, the higher the stacks on his armor and magic resist.

Bai Feng called Yu Luocheng a crazy piece of sh*t because he used Graves while being clearly aware of his capabilities as a champion. At level five, Graves passive would be at the second level, and the effect of that was two bonus armor and bonus magic resist!

Before the fight started, this guy had deliberately stacked his passive, and after almost fully stacking it, he threw an E directly in Draven’s face.

Draven’s damage at early stages was high, but that would mean he needed to toss out a few more axes. Graves just needed to fight for a few seconds and his armor and magic resist would gain more than a dozen extra points!

So, to fight him or not?

Bai Feng bit his lip, a level five Graves was indeed disgusting. If he was also at level five, then he wouldn’t be afraid at all!

Calculating the health he had, Bai Feng knew that he would die if he didn’t retreat. He took a step back and his vision was immediately obstructed.

You couldn’t blame him for making this decision, because no matter how hard he fought, he would be the one to die. Besides, he still had Exhaust on him.

Entering the turret range, Bai Feng felt the tension lifting, making him feel slightly relieved.

Damn, where did this ADC come from and how playing against him bring this kind of intense pressure?

Elise suddenly shouted out a warning, “Bai Feng, watch out!”

Bai Feng halted hesitatingly.

Watch out for what? Did that guy mean to tower dive him?

As the smoke cleared, the retreating Bai Feng suddenly found a man with a gigantic gun behind him.

“F*ck!”

The normally civilized Bai Feng couldn’t help but let out a loud curse, this guy really was diving the turret. Can you f*cking look at your health bar first?!

You still dare to come forward with such little health left?

Do you not f*cking see that Elise is still at the side of the turret?!

This guy is crazy, rushing in like this!

Elise hurriedly changed to her Human Form, her Cocoon had yet to be used, and since Graves wanted to dive the turret by coming forward…

With a wave of her hand, the web flew towards Graves.

Bai Feng had kept one skill on hand, and that was Stand Aside.

To be honest, he didn’t expect Graves to dive the turret to kill him, but he wouldn’t back down either!

Cocoon and Stand Aside launched, directly targeting Graves.

Bamf!

Flash!

Yu Luocheng’s strange Flash placed him at the space between the turret and the wall.

The two skills flew over his head harmlessly, and stabilizing his gun, Yu Luocheng aimed it at Draven!

Bang bang!

The gun barrel surged and the large lead bullets burst out angrily, heading right for Bai Feng!

Startled and looking at his low health, Bai Feng frantically activated his Barrier!

A cold bead of sweat fell from his forehead.

Just a little bit, if he had been just a little bit slower, he would have died!

Once he got over the initial shock, anger started to build in Bai Feng. With Barrier activated, he could still take some damage, so he turned around and pressed A on Yu Luocheng.

Once Yu Luocheng saw the Barrier activate, he wore such a satisfied expression. He took a step back and stretched out his arm, swiftly grasping Thresh’s lantern!

Thanks to Thresh’s lantern, Yu Luocheng’s Graves smoothly slid out of the turret range, leaving Bai Feng without any change of retaliation. The whole operation was executed perfectly, as if everything had been planned.

“Just a bit more!” said Elise angrily, chasing Graves even though he was already safely out from the turret range.

Once her shapeshifting abilities cooled down, Elise turned into her Spider Form again, shooting upwards into the sky as she wanted to bite down on Graves and take the little remainder of his health.

“Don’t chase, he still has Barrier!” shouted Bai Feng.

Unfortunately, Bai Feng’s warning came a bit too late. Elise had already descended from the sky, aiming to fall on Graves and give him a bite!
