Novel Bin Chapter 307 - Who’s Going to Get Wrecked
Chapter 307: Who’s Going to Get Wrecked
The two commentators were casually bantering as though they were having a normal conversation. This kind of commentary style is what the audience loved, especially with Miracle finding fault and poking fun at the teams.
As a female commentator, Qi Qiao would always try to help teams that had less fame or a worse reputation to save some face. Together, these two commentators formed a harmony like yin and yang.
“Alright, the players have entered the stage… hey, I remember that the ADC from Team Skycrown is of a smaller build… now it’s a teenager, did they change players?” Miracle narrated, his tone confused.
“They really did use a substitute. We don’t have the profile with us so we don’t know who it is at the moment,” continued Qi Qiao as she tried to figure out why the youth’s silhouette seemed so familiar.
“It’s rare for teams to use substitutes, could it be that they’re using Tian Ji’s horse racing tactics? However, Bai Feng will be the one facing their ADC no matter what,” said Miracle.
His words immediately elicited laughter from the audience.
Everyone present knew that in Tian Ji horse racing, Tian Ji would choose the worst horse to race against their opponent’s best horse. They would then lose one round and the winner would be the one who wins the remaining two rounds.
Anyone with half a brain obviously knew that this asshole Miracle was poking fun at the temporary change of members in Team Skycrown. But coming back to the topic, the change in ADC for Team Skycrown was really sudden. It was quite weird as a member change among the five of them might do more harm than good.
Moreover, after the first two games, Xiao Bei’s display of strength had attracted a certain amount of popularity. Many people were looking forward to seeing how he would fare against Bai Feng, and now with the sudden change, the audience’s enthusiasm was down by at least half.
***
Asmodai, who was watching the match on the computer while eating suddenly spit out a mouthful with a stunned face.
“Holy shit, it’s Fighting Hawk!”
Their coach, Huang Kang, was also startled as he spluttered, rushing to Asmodai’s side to look at the screen.
“Fighting Hawk? He’s up?”
The rest of Team Daemons, including Hades, dropped what they were doing and hurriedly gathered around the computer.
“It’s really him!”
“Damn, he finally couldn’t take it!”
“Fighting Hawk playing against Bai Feng, this will be a great match!”
“Miracle is still poking fun at Fighting Hawk, is he really looking to get punched in the face?”
“He’s definitely asking for a good beating.”
Team Daemons nodded as they grinned. They couldn’t wait to see Miracle’s expression later on.

When Qin Ting found out that Yu Luocheng was playing against Team Revelation, the entire E-sports club exploded in excitement!
The LPL was the most prolific professional league in the country, and when they saw Yu Luocheng’s face on the screen during the live broadcast, the expression on his face was indescribable.
Not too long ago, he was just one of them, a fellow E-sports club member. And now this asshole was suddenly appearing on the LPL star stage, taking everyone by surprise!
There was no doubt that this game would definitely be an exciting one. How could Qin Ting keep calm?
Time to pull out the big screen in the community area again!
He needed to let everyone see that the E-sports club was so awesome that they could produce someone like Yu Luocheng who made it to the LPL!
***
In the community area, a large group of E-sports enthusiasts suddenly gathered under the big screen. Yu Luocheng was like a godlike existence in the E-sports community. When they heard that he was playing in the LPL, it sent a shockwave through the entire campus.
What you need to understand is that there were tons of students in the university who played League of Legends. It was not uncommon to hear even female students shouting “F*cking don’t take my Teemo!” in the dorms.
As Yu Luocheng’s face appeared on the screen, Qiu Jingtai started shouting at the people around him, unable to contain his excitement.
“My roommate, that’s my roommate!”
“F*ck off, he’s my roommate! Yu Luocheng sleeps on the bed opposite mine. Damn, I knew he was an extraordinary guy from the moment he set foot into this uni!” bosted Jiang Jiuyi.
The other guys from their room were staring at them like they had grown two heads. Of the group of roommates, Yu Luocheng, Jiang Jiu, and Qiu Jingtai were the only ones who played LOL. The other three didn’t even touch any computer games. They almost never had meals together, and this one rare time that they did, they actually stumbled upon Yu Luocheng’s face on TV, damn!
“He’s your roommate?” asked a middle-aged uncle, tapping on Qiu Jingtai’s shoulder.
“Yeah. Teach, don’t tell me you play LOL too,” replied Qiu Jingtai.
The middle-aged uncle who looked like a teacher smiled and said, “I know this game, so is this match organized by your university too?”
“That’s impossible. This is the LPL, the top competition at the national level!” exclaimed Qiu Jingtai.
“Oh.”
Jiang Jiu and Qiu Jingtai frowned as they looked at the man, slightly doubtful.
“Look, even an uncle knows LOL.”
“I saw an old man play last time, he had all sorts of maneuvers and even killing sprees. Sadly it was just against A.I…”

On stage, Miracle was still carrying on with his usual style of criticising all sorts of things. Team Skycrown wasn’t his only target, he also targeted Team Revelation’s previous doings, and his chatter kept the audience entertained.
Sadly, although Qi Qiao’s insisted that Team Skycrown was strong, it did little to change the crowd’s perception.
“Everyone has their cell phone with them right? How can there be no bets during a competition? Send a text message to our official platform and take part in a quiz to stand the chance of winning some cool prizes… oh, alright, you guys already know about this, so I won’t have to repeat myself. Let your fingers make the decision on whether you’ll bet big or small, maybe luck will be on your side and you’ll win big! There’s a huge reward for voting in Team Skycrown’s favor, but that comes with an even bigger risk!” said Miracle, getting the crowd all hyped up again.
The players had already taken their seats and were in the banning phase at the moment.
“Wow, Team Skycrown really has got guts. They haven’t banned a single ADC! Are they trying to tell Team Revelation that they’re not afraid of Bai Feng?” Miracle mused.
“It’s possible that their ADC is strong, Team Skycrown has consistently displayed a strong ADC performance. Xiao Bei had a wide variety of ADCs to use — his Tristana, Vayne, and Ezreal all gave great performances for everyone to see,” replied Qi Qiao.
“I think the bet should be placed on whether or not Team Skycrown’s bottom lane will be wrecked, that would be a fairer bet,” said Miracle said, running his mouth as usual.
Bai Feng’s ADC and Lin Siyong’s ADC couldn’t be compared, his individual strength index was at 8 points.
In other words, if Lin Siyong and Bai Feng played against each other, Lin Siyong would likely be pressured completely, and the chance of getting wrecked was also very high.
An individual strength index of 8 points was no indicator of someone’s true skill. Earth from Team Stardust also had the same number of points. However, his team-fighting capabilities could not be compared to Bai Feng’s.
Earth’s overall score was 20 points, making him a middle-tier player in the LPL. Meanwhile, Bai Feng’s overall score was at about 23 to 24 points. This 3 to 4-point difference meant that Bai Feng would always triumph over Earth.
More importantly, Bai Feng also had mental strength. No matter the situation, you would never see him falter, which was something many first-class professional players were unable to do. His skill and dexterity index were very stable too!
And Yu Luocheng was going to play against him, the strongest ADC player in the country!
Other newly-formed teams would immediately ban Bai Feng’s strongest ADCs right from the start. Then, their first floor would snatch any ADCs that were relatively good for their own team, to ensure a better chance of the bottom lane not getting destroyed. But in the end it would still result in Bai Feng carrying the game with some other ADC.
“Team Skycrown has banned Ahri, Jarvan, and Shen. I don’t really see a pattern in those bans, it doesn’t seem like any specific bans towards Team Revelation.”
“They probably have their own way of playing,” said Qi Qiao.
“Too true. In facing such a strong team like Team Revelation, maybe their tactic would have some unexpectedly good results. It might even give them a bit more time to survive in-game. I feel like if I continue like this, Team Skycrown will want to curse and kill me soon, haha!”
***
When it came to champion selection, Yu Luocheng picked Caitlyn without much hesitation. Caitlyn was a must-have ADC for this match. Although Yu Luocheng would admit that his Ezreal, Graves, and Vayne were good, he hadn’t dared to use Caitlyn much after seeing how impressive Asmodai and Shallow Dream were at using that champion.
So there must be a reason that he dared to pick her in this match!
“For the Support… wah, are you planning to choose all the old champions? A Soraka Support is really rare to see nowadays. Team Skycrown, what are you guys thinking?” Miracle commented as he stared at the screen in surprise.
The Starchild, Soraka!
Why would they pick this champion? It didn’t make sense!
“A new team’s determination to win, you really can’t guess what they’re thinking,” said Miracle, sighing.
Qi Qiao rebutted by saying, “It’s not that bad, Wu Sen used Soraka during the pre-season too. His skills in healing and recovering mana for Xiao Bei is the reason why Xiao Bei’s Vayne managed to save the day during that match!”
“Well, if that’s the case, then this match would be completely dependent on the substitute ADC right?” said Miracle smoothly without missing a beat.
“This ADC isn’t just a substitute, he’s the coach of Team Skycrown. He’s the one who went solo against Blood Eagle Zhao Tinghua and managed to reach a stalemate with him.” Qi Qiao laughed as she spoke, enjoying the change in Miracle’s expression when he heard that.
Miracle was stunned and finally at a loss for words!
The one who went solo against Blood Eagle!
Wasn’t he a Jungler Lee Sin? Why would he play ADC?
***
Zhang Aijing looked towards the stage and upon hearing Miracle’s words, she couldn’t help the laughter that bubbled up inside her.
It was hard to say who would end up getting wrecked. Fighting Hawk’s strength wasn’t in being a Jungler, but at the bottom lane!
