The ravens which were surrounded by death and sorrow lingered around the Harbinger of Doom, each of them letting out a sharp cry as they flew toward all the living objects it could reach.
Before Diana was able to unleash any of her abilities, a black mass slammed right into her face!
Shaoying kept slamming the ‘1’ key, wanting to activate his Zhonya’s. Before he could land on solid ground, however, a pair of pupils filled with empty fear appeared right in front of him!
Terrify!
A full three seconds of Fear was inflicted on him, and Shaoying was completely unable to activate his Zhonya’s, all while his health was decreasing rapidly! Diana had an Abyssal Scepter and it gave her a small amount of magic resist, but after getting hit by Fiddlesticks’ ulti, her health had dropped to around half.
Caitlyn had also fallen into the pit that was Fiddlesticks’ Crowstorm, the damage to her was even higher, and she had to retreat using her E skill.
Although Lulu had managed to polymorph Fiddlesticks into a harmless critter, the damage from Crowstorm still continued, and she too, suffered a high amount of damage.
In addition to being Feared and taking on the full brunt of Crowstorm, the Jungler, who was also tanking the turret damage was even worse off. The Jungler walked out of turret range to avoid the damage, and the turret turned to the closest target after him, which was Diana!
Xiao Jia and Jinbei ignored Renekton, and seeing that Luocheng had managed to Fear Diana, they threw all their abilities onto her instead!
Within three seconds, assaulted by Fiddlesticks’s ulti, taking the turret damage, and adding on Corki and the Mid’s attacks, Shaoying desperately pressed on his Zhonya’s, but it was a futile effort. Without even releasing a single skill, Diana was demolished in three seconds!
The Scorn of the Moon—Diana was actually quite a difficult melee champion to kill. She had a shield, Zhonya’s, as well as an Abyssal Scepter which gave her sufficient armor and magic resist, and it wasn’t a wise move to attack her with those items in her hand.
Luocheng’s ulti on Fiddlesticks had been a bit far out, and the only one he had managed to inflict Fear on was Diana, and he had initially just wanted to bring her health down significantly before turning his attacks toward the Jungler.
He never expected the Jungler to make the mistake of letting Diana tank the turret attack, and even more, he didn’t expect the usually passive Jinbei to choose this moment to bring out his courage and pounce on Diana together with Yang Ying, taking her down instantly!
Diana hadn’t managed to activate her Pale Cascade shield, and every time she activated Zhonya’s, she couldn’t Flash on time. First, she was launched up into the air by Jarvan, and after being inflicted by Fear for three seconds, the whole team came down on her!
“Beautiful!” Luocheng cheered.
Xiao Jia’s beautiful combo coupled with Jinbei and Yang Ying’s follow up, their target was Diana who had been Feared. With this, they successfully took down their opponent’s Mid carry!
Luocheng had initially thought that only Team Skycrown was able to have such smooth coordination that was able to match his wavelength, he hadn’t expected the four from SHU to be able to think the same as him in this critical moment!
Very good!
With Diana dead, they had a chance of winning this fight!
A single person would be unable to save the world, and Luocheng was thankful that Yang Ying, Xiao Jia, Jinbei, and even the lone ranger, Wang Jun, were able to place their confidence in him.
With their trust, he would be able to lead them to victory!
When Luocheng had one fourth of his health left, he activated his Zhonya’s! The timing for Zhonya’s had to be accurate for Fiddlesticks, if you did it too early, there was a chance that his ulti wouldn’t be able to hit enough of them, and if it was too late, he could be instantly killed.
After killing Diana, Luocheng continued to move forward, activating his Zhonya’s on the highground. He didn’t expect his ulti to do much damage to Caitlyn or Lulu, what he wanted was for them to retreat back and render them unable to do any damage within the five seconds of his ulti!
Diana, who had aggressively rushed in, had been killed, and Renekton’s damage was only so much. Adding on to the fact that they had managed to chase Diana out of the first fight, dividing their front and back line, their whole team formation had crumbled.
Zhonya’s activated with the last one fourth of his health left.
Caitlyn stood on the steps, the only champion she could reach right now was Fiddlesticks, but he was in an invincible state for the next 2.5 seconds.
Once the 2.5 seconds was over, he controlled Caitlyn in annoyance, clicking furiously on Fiddlesticks, wanting to make sure to kill him.
However, a damn Exhaust was thrown on her head!
With her damage and attack speed lowered, Caitlyn continued to attack Fiddlesticks impatiently, waiting for the Exhaust to wear off so that she could take him down.
Only, what was the point in taking Fiddlesticks’ life? As a Support, Luocheng had already maximized his value. His Terrify and ulti had matched up to his team’s assault, instantly killing one of ZHU’s carry—Diana.
He had also driven Caitlyn out from the fight with his five seconds of ulti, rendering her unable to deal damage properly in those five seconds. He had even used his Exhaust on her after his Zhonya’s had worn off after the 2.5 seconds!
In the late game, the one with the highest damage dealing was the Mid and ADC!
With the Mid gone and the ADC not being able to deal any damage in the 7.5 seconds frame, and their tank was still under attack from their inner turret, he had done all that he should and could have.
Picking Fiddlesticks and jumping into the fray, you don’t have many chances of coming out alive. Fiddlesticks couldn’t escape and Caitlyn took his head, but as Luocheng’s screen turned grey, the corner of his lips lifted.
He smirked because he knew, not only had they managed to defend this fight, they could also possibly win this!
DOUBLE KILL!
Corki displayed an incredible amount of damage dealt, and after dispatching Diana, the Jungler didn’t have much of a chance to survive under his assault.
TRIPLE KILL!
Within the few seconds that Lulu had Flashed out of their base to escape, Corki had managed to accurately predict her movement and launched a bomb right into her!
It was a triple kill!
Double buff!
The Daring Bombardier—Corki had single-handedly obtained the highest kill in the game—ten!
Initially panicking until his fingers were hot, Jinbei now felt as if he was on fire, just like Corki!
This was a match against ZHU who had placed second in the previous nationals!
Jinbei’s ADC had always been balanced, not getting a lot of kills, but not dying a lot. Nothing outstanding, but not many mistakes either.
However, he didn’t know why now, when facing such a strong team like ZHU, his ADC had achieved such superb results!
Watching as Feilong’s Renekton beat a hasty retreat from their base and Qiming’s Caitlyn ran away, Jinbei couldn’t believe that this powerful Corki had been launched by him!
“Jinbei, that was awesome!”
“Beautiful!”
“They defended the base!”
Xiao Jia and Yang Ying couldn’t hold it in and jumped up from their chairs, hugging Jinbei. Facing such tremendous pressure from ZHU, they had still managed to defend their base!
2 for 3!
Corki was alive, and Jarvan was miraculously also alive. More importantly, Jax had managed to push into their opponent’s base, even taking down one Nexus turret!
Jinbei finally tore his eyes from the screen, looking incredulously at the person beside him—Luocheng. Jinbei was fully aware that it was only possible for him to shine in this game because of this Support.
He had calmly ridiculed and shattered the momentum of ZHU’s team completely, his decisive ulti had killed their opponent’s Mid, forced their ADC to retreat, and yet, he hadn’t gotten a single kill. He even took the bullet straight on that killed him, succeeding in letting his team get this achievement!
“Baron, get the Baron, we’re not done yet.” Luocheng said calmly, cutting through the joyful atmosphere.
You can’t slack until the end, and Luocheng, who had played many professional leagues, knew this point very well.
The match had yet to end, it was not yet time to celebrate. Take the Baron and push the middle lane all the way in, and only then was this match on its way to victory!
“Yeah!” Jinbei nodded his head in agreement, no hesitation.
Xiao Jia returned to the fountain, buying Homeguard, and immediately heading toward the Baron Pit. Jax, who had been pushing the top lane relentlessly all the way into their opponent’s base also returned, the three of them heading toward Baron!
***
Jax’s items were quite luxurious now, adding on Corki’s damage, they easily took down the Baron. During this time, Luocheng and Yang Ying had revived and the five of them all had the Baron Buff, their income was also leading by a lot.
***
“Ohhhh!!”
“Shanghai Uni, win! Shanghai Uni, win!”
“Shanghai Uni, win! Shanghai Uni, win!”
The deafening cheers resounded in the Shanghai University compound, and the entire teacher’s building and dorms could hear the loud cheers. Even more people started to gather around, and the community area of Shanghai University was full to the brim, completely crowded with people!
With the crowd frenzy, the SHU team on screen had, with the help of the Baron Buff, managed to push into their opponent’s base!
After relentlessly farming alone for thirty minutes, Jax had his full items and was now an even scarier boss than Renekton! He tanked the turret damage as well as the damage dealt by two or three champions and went straight into their base to kill Caitlyn, somehow still managing to walk out alive.
Corki was already Legendary, and even though Renekton was building tank items, he couldn’t afford to take all the damage.
It was also the same fight at their opponent’s base, but they had the income advantage and the Baron Buff. With this, SHU had completely blown their momentum!
ACE!
The creeps fell easily and ZJU’s team was unable to push back SHU’s frenzied counter!
Following the explosion of the Nexus, Shanghai University community area burst into the loudest cheer that you could have ever imagined!
They had won!
SHU had defeated the previous national’s second place—ZJU, who was also their biggest obstacle to getting into the top four!
