Although Lin Dong’s performance in the mid lane was top-notch, if the ADC position failed to perform, it would still be a disaster for them.

Even if they switched to another ADC, even if Team Skycrown had more time, they would still be unable to make a comeback.

It was too bad that the enemy team had a Tristana. In the late game, going against Tristana would be extremely annoying. With her long-range attacks, the towers would crumble down one by one. Fudan University was really going all out!

The nexus was destroyed and the match was decided.

You could hear cheers from ninety percent of the crowd celebrating Fudan University’s win.

Team Skycrown’s creation had been too late, and they had completely no supporters whatsoever. There wouldn’t even be anyone to feel sorry for them when they lost.

The five players of Team Skycrown put down their noise cancellation headphones. Looking at their loss, they could only harbor bitter feelings.

They were lucky that this was the first of the three-wins game, they still stood a chance.

“Sir Blood Eagle, what opinions do you have on Team Skycrown’s performance? I feel that all the members of Team Skycrown are quite skilled, some of their executions were surprising.” Qi Qiao said.

“Their ADC was too weak.” The Blood Eagle looked at Xiao Bei who was sitting at the side coldly.

The players could hear the voices of the commentators and the audience as they had already put their headphones down.

These harsh words from Tinghua really put Xiao Bei into a bad mood.

Those words felt as if a knife was stabbed straight into Xiao Bei’s heart.

Everyone could see that they had lost because of the ADC...

Xiao Bei didn’t even know what had happened to himself. The champion that he was once familiar with hadn’t listened to his orders, and the usual fluent and smooth executions had stiffened for some reason today.

Or maybe...

He had always been weak. Compared to these professional players, he still had a long way to go.

Xiao Bei looked at the other members of Team Skycrown, their faces had obvious signs that showed they were unwilling to lose like this. His heart felt weak, and he looked down at his feet with regret saying, “Sorry guys, I...I screwed up.”

Normally when they were playing ranked matches, Xiao Bei would always regretfully say those words when he was off of his game.

However, this wasn’t a ranked match. If you lost, it wasn’t just losing a few points!

He knew that just the words ‘I’m sorry’ were useless. If they lost, everyone’s hard work would go to waste! If they lost, everyone’s dreams would be crushed!

Only now did he realize why Luocheng had asked him “What if you can’t get into the LPL?”

It was him who had taken things too lightly, thinking that he already had what it took to get into the LPL.

In actuality, he did not have what it takes. He couldn’t even take down Lin Siyong from Fudan University, not to mention, compete to be the nation’s strongest ADC.

Luocheng, Bai Feng, Asmodai, and Seven Pounds 1 ...

If they were to play an ADC in this match, they could definitely completely suppress Siyong, and wouldn’t be slaughtered like him instead.

Xiao Bei was at a loss for words.

“It’s ok, Xiao Bei. We’ll get them next time.” Wu Sen patted Xiao Bei’s shoulder lightly.

“That’s right, there are two more games, we’ll definitely get them.”

...

Aijing was changing the data backstage.

With one more competition’s information, she could change her data to be more precise.

After this game, Aijing had to lower Xiao Bei’s personal score.

Many times in a match that depended on the flow, you could not tell a player’s real skill. In the past matches, Team Skycrown had been too successful, coupled with Xiao Bei’s mediocre performance, this was why Xiao Bei’s personal score had been on the higher side.

After this match, Aijing didn’t really alter Xiao Bei’s personal score that much. She only changed the “skill and dexterity index” slightly.

Team Skycrown Xiao Bei:

Individual ability index: 5.7 points

Team-fighting capability index: 5.8 points

Tactical and leadership index: 5 points

Skill and dexterity index: 0.9 points reduced to 0.7 points

“So that was the player that your Thunder Club wanted to hire?” Sun Liang asked.

“Erm...yeah.” Thunder Club’s manager replied.

“He seems very mediocre, I even heard rumors that talk about how great he is, but seeing his performance today, I didn’t think he would be that bad.” Sun Liang mused.

“I guess he didn’t do his best.” Thunder Club’s manager could only say it with an awkward expression.

Xiao Bei had quite a name for himself in the ADC category of the nation. The coaches and managers of many teams had heard of his name and were also trying to get him to join them. Only, no one would have ever imagined that Xiao Bei would join a team which had no prestige whatsoever, even performing so badly in a competition.

There was a chance that a large number of managers would secretly be happy after watching this match. They must be thinking, luckily, they had not signed Xiao Bei with that huge amount of money, for he would only drag down the team.

...

“We’ll start the second match after a short break.” To warm up, Qi Qiao pushed the topic toward Tinghua, about when they were playing in the S season.

Tinghua spoke without any hesitation, “The gaming standards of other nations are much better mainly because their setups are much more sophisticated, giving the players a peace of mind whether they are practicing or when they are in a competition. Everyone should know about one of the stronger teams in Korea, Team KK. When we were playing against them, they gave off a weird vibe... how do you put it into words, it might be like this match. Fudan University against Team Skycrown. There will always be a point in time where the tower will be destroyed, and it goes downhill from there.

“Is this type of loss due to the skill of the players?” Qi Qiao asked.

“Not really, there will be a huge gap in team skill, not to mention the team strategy,” Tinghua replied.

“After that year of LPL, in the arena for the S International League, your team did not have the confidence to take down Korea’s Team KK? Alright, I’m guessing that this year, the two teams that will be participating are your team, Team Sky, and Team Daemons.” Qi Qiao said.

“To tell the truth, it would be extremely hard if we wanted to triumph over the teams from other nations. Our country does not have that many top-notch players. Currently, there are no world-tier players to lead us to victory.” Tinghua said this while looking at the players of Team Skycrown.

“As far as I know, the Blood Eagle has quite a lot of history in the competitive scene throughout the world. I’ve also heard that you were awarded the Esports Supreme Glory trophy. Since you are so outstanding, why are you being so humble and going as far as to say that there are no world-tier players in our country?” Qi Qiao asked, puzzled.

You couldn’t deny the fact that the two best teams in the country, being unable to be world-class, was very saddening.

Qi Qiao did not want the audience’s mentality to be influenced and become depressed because there were no China teams in the world competitive stage. Thus, she started praising Blood Eagle.

“I am a boastful person, but I am not an arrogant person. If we don’t have what it takes, I’ll say it. We probably didn’t train enough.” Tinghua said.

“Then how did you defeat the teams from other countries? Are you saying that LOL and DOTA have a big difference?” Qi Qiao continued to ask.

“In the past, there was a player in our country whose skill was able to carry the whole team. This team had the confidence to defeat every strong team there was in the world...” Tinghua said as he looked toward Team Skycrown yet again.

Tinghua knew that Zhou Yan, Da Luo, and Lin Dong could hear his words. In actuality, these words were supposed to be heard by them!

A bunch of cowards who abandoned the scene but still dared to come back?

Even if they had come back, so what? They were so weak that they couldn’t even win against a University’s team.

You could say that after this match, Tinghua felt as though instead of talking bad about Team Skycrown, he had been praising them in front of so many people, and yet, the skills that they possessed didn’t even deserve his dissing.

“Who is this person that you speak of? Does our country even have such a strong player? Is it Hades?” Qi Qiao asked, surprised.

Someone whom THE Blood Eagle, the king of LOL, respected, which she had no clue of?

Who was this mysterious person?

Was it Hades??

“At that point of time, Hades could only barely compete with him, even losing to him in the most important match.” Tinghua laughed.

Once those words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

As they knew it, Hades, Blood Eagle Zhao Tinghua, Xiao Wang, and Bai Feng—these four people were the strongest LOL players in all of China, it was near-impossible to surpass them!

Following the news, Hades was the strongest player out of the previously mentioned four LOL players.

This strongest player in the whole country had actually lost to someone else?

Exactly how strong was this person??

Qi Qiao wasn’t that informed about the old esports scene, and when she heard what Blood Eagle Zhao Tinghua had just said, she was shocked out of her mind.

At the same time, backstage, Aijing, Xiao Wang, and the rest of the esports audience put their attention toward Luocheng.

Wasn’t Luocheng the person that Tinghua was talking about?

This honor, if you listened to the rumors or just watched it happen, you won’t feel much.

Yes, yes, the glory of a global runner-up.

Even so, if you connected the dots for the still-underdeveloped esports scene in the country, you could see the strongest team’s global achievements.

Now, the impression of Team Sky and Team Daemons being the strongest were already imprinted on how many people’s minds?

But on the stage of the S International League, everyone knew that there were many other teams that could defeat these two teams.

Now that is what you call a world championship!

If there was a team that could uphold China’s glory and bring it glory, that would be exciting!!

Due to the fact that esports had only just recently obtained attention, many people didn’t know about it. In actuality, when they had been busy contemplating about Team Sky and Team Daemon’s defeat, when they had been sulking about their loss, when they had been shocked about the strength of the teams formed by other countries, there was already a team that had reached such heights.

It was just too bad that their torn banner had already been long-buried in the sand, without anyone even caring.
