“Lee Sin is going up solo against Ezreal, looks like whoever lives or dies will determine the outcome of this teamfight!” Bao Jun shouted.

 There was only one purpose for him to shout like that, that was, to tell the d*mn people controlling the camera to not even think about switching the view over to anywhere else!

 Being a commentator for such a long time, it wasn’t as if he didn’t know what the audience loved to see the most.

 Of course it was a scene where it would leave you in awe, a show that would move the mountains and the skies!

 Ezreal and Lee Sin were both champions who were flashy and showy. A fight between these two champions was bound to be amazing!

 ***

 The reason that Luocheng liked the champion, Lee Sin, was not merely for the idiotic reasoning that he was a cool champion.

 Lee Sin was a champion that needed to have complete control of the overall situation, and his flexibility in lending a hand made him useful basically everywhere in the Summoner’s Rift.

 His eyes were indeed covered with a blindfold, but that didn’t mean that he was really blind. He needed to increase the sensitivity of his sense of smell and hearing!

 Smell the rain of blood and hear the sounds of the soldiers’ trembling blade!

 Lee Sin needed to listen to all three lanes to sniff out the enemy camp, his pacing was strong and it was the victory of the entire team…

 What was most memorable and shocking to people was that one kick could often be the thing that led them to victory!

 Luocheng was not able to do just one kick to secure victory like Xiao Tuo from Taipei, that amazing, shocking move that had stunned everyone speechless.

 His Lee Sin was more of a rhythm-maker, giving support everywhere, restraining enemies everywhere, and being the shield for other champions during critical moments!

 The ADC already had good items, with Asmodai having his three complete items plus a Vampiric Scepter.

 Meanwhile, Luocheng only had the Spirit of the Elder Lizard, Sightstone, Aegis of the Legion, a Chain Vest, and some other small items…but that was enough for a Lee Sin who didn’t need much items!

 Come, the last time they battled, it had been a 2 vs 2 where Xue Yiyi had left in a huff suddenly, leaving Luocheng unable to settle the score with Asmodai. Now, there was no external influence, and whatmore, whoever survived here would determine which team would enter the Worlds Championship!

 The Worlds Championship. Asmodai had been trying his hardest for the glory for a very, very long time, strongly desiring and thirsting for it, even if he knew that he would never be able to take part in Worlds with everyone else, he wholeheartedly hoped that his teammates would be able to fulfill this wish for him.

 And Luocheng…he was very much aware of the price to pay for someone to return to the e-sports scene so determinedly.

 He had never put e-sports down in his heart at all, because only by holding the mouse and keyboard could he feel his heart beating vigorously!

 He didn’t like the way Yu Yu had looked at him, as though he was some hopeless idiot and an a*shole! How come you got to swim while I needed to learn all those things that I have no interest in!?

 As long as they managed to claim the title of the strongest team in China, he would be able to show them through the Asian Indoor Games!

 Even more so, he would not forget that he owed the Championship for Worlds to a child who had given up an organ and his life. Other than the Worlds stage, where else could he be buried peacefully!

 ***

 A minion wave was nearing, and Luocheng launched a W-skill, Safeguard, on one of them.

 Ezreal was a champion whose damage relied on his Q-skill and passive triggering. By hiding behind the minion wave, one would be able to avoid Ezreal’s Q and E-skill damage.

 Luocheng was not in a rush to attack Ezreal, that would just be boldly taking damage from the latter for no reason.

 Hiding behind the minion wave, Luocheng made the gesture for Resonating Strike!

 The distance between Asmodai and Luocheng was only about seven hundred yards, and in this distance, it would be hard for Asmodai to avoid it with his side-stepping, especially taking into account players like Luocheng who had done sufficient research in angles!

 Seeing that Fighting Hawk’s Lee Sin had an obvious lifting-foot action, Asmodai’s finger which had been hovering over his E key slammed down!

 For a duel between Ezreal and Lee Sin, it depended on who had more skills to dodge the skill-shots!

 Asmodai would not let Luocheng land a kick on him!

 Essence Flux, Arcane Shift!

 Right at the moment Luocheng’s Lee Sin raised his leg to kick, Asmodai suddenly changed positions!

 The Arcane Shift was released with a follow up of his E-skill, both skills were seamlessly connected as though there wasn’t any gap in between them.

 A lot of champions when releasing skills could chain the skills, this way, the release of the skills were continuous and could even cancel the after-effect of the skills in animation.

 Take Asmodai for example, if he had waited for his W-skill to finish before casting his E-skill, he would definitely have been hit by Luocheng’s Q-skill. For a professional player, those few milliseconds were of the utmost importance!

 With his position changed from the Arcane Shift, Asmodai frowned as his heart sped up in the next second!

 How could it be!

 He had clearly raised his legs, how could he have canceled the release of his Q-skill!

 Lee Sin’s Q-skill required him to move his legs forward, and it was obvious in the way that he had raised his legs that he was about to kick up the white sonic blast.

 Asmodai had been waiting for this movement from Luocheng, and the moment he saw it, he had used his E-skill to avoid it, this was supposed to be a 100% success rate…

 How, how could this guy who had obviously raised his leg, suddenly be able to withdraw the Q-skill, this was completely out of the norm!

 As Asmodai entered a state of shock, the audience was completely mystified by his E-skill.

 Many players just assumed that professional players were like that, but it was not the case. There were just too many hidden details in their actions that the normal players were unable to comprehend, just like why Luocheng was just standing at his position, making strange movements with his leg.

 At the same time, the other more masterful players were in the same state as Asmodai, their minds thrown into chaos!

 “How can it be!? He already lifted his leg, how could he have cancelled his skill!?” Hao Yue,Team Revealation’s Jungler, was also in shock.

 Having played Lee Sin for so long, he never knew that there was a way to cancel his Q-skill, and that was just a pose with the lifting of his leg…

 “That’s not it, he never even pressed his Q!” Forgetful Laughter exclaimed as his sharp eye focused on the image.

 “If he didn’t press it, then how could he have made that movement…F*ck, it can’t be…” Hao Yue suddenly realized, his eyes widening comically!

 The others also realized it at the same time, and they were struck dumb for the second time!

 One of the things easily overlooked in League of Legends, and it was often something used by others to tease or ridicule their opponents…

 But who would have expected that someone would actually use the CTRL+ any number to pull off a trick!

 The taunt keys!

 Luocheng’s Lee Sin had used his W-skill to jump to the ward, turning around and making it look as though he was going to launch his Q-skill, but in actual fact, he had pressed the taunt hotkey, playing the champion’s taunt which was a kicking pose!

 Asmodai would never have expected Luocheng to pull out this trick!

 “Wonderful, that was amazingly wonderful. Fighting Hawk used the champion’s taunt to trick Asmodai into using his very important repositioning skill, this is unbelievable!” Bao Jun exclaimed, his own shock very clear in his voice.

 Holy sh*t, are we really playing the same game? In such a fierce and tense battle, being able to avoid an opponent’s skill by just focusing on the movement was already out of this world. Who knew that even a professional player would use these taunt keys to trick others!

 This really was an emperor-level player!

 ***

 “I know, I know! This was the trick that made Luocheng famous in the beginning!” Qin Ting, who was sitting with Yang Ying, Yang Qianqian and a few others, shouted excitedly.

 Using the champion’s taunt moves… Yang Ying, Qianqian, and the others who had seen Luocheng play in the National College League remembered this.

 Luocheng had been using Fiddlesticks as a Support, hiding in the Krugs camp, and he had pressed CTRL + 2, scaring Ceng Feilong’s entire team. That move that gave you the impression that he was about to release his ulti really had no predecessor or successor!

 And now, at the peak of the LPL competition, Luocheng had pulled off his familiar set of tricks. This beautiful raise of a leg had actually even managed to trick a veteran professional player like Asmodai. When you realized that all he did was use the champion’s taunt move, you would suffer, feeling as though you had just swallowed a fly. You would definitely be losing morale in the following fights!

 There were not many higher-end players in the crowd, and a lot of them didn’t understand the wonder of this. Bao Jun was trying to explain this very quickly, but before he could finish, everyone saw Asmodai’s Ezreal smoothly avoid the Q-skill that Luocheng had followed up with after his feint by side-stepping.

 “Beautiful side-step, that dodge was just wonderful . Asmodai was not thrown into a panic by Fighting Hawk’s performance and he side-steps smoothly to avoid that dangerous skill-shot!”

 The side-stepping movement was actually a fast turn to let the trajectory from the skill fly in front of him.

 Professional players like Asmodai already had good instincts and timing to dodge skill-shots, thus, side-stepping was even more of a no-brainer for him.

 He marveled at Luocheng’s feint, and at the same time, his mouse was moving rapidly, a swift walk forward and backward. It was like he knew that the skill would fly in front of him, and the only thing he needed to do was stop for a moment and turn, letting the skill pass harmlessly in front of him!

 Just a simple two moves, but it contained the internal psychological pressure and maneuvers of a professional player!

***

 Luocheng was now left without any skills to throw, and it was impossible for him to fight head-to-head with Ezreal, that was just asking for Ezreal to attack him.

 Asmodai took a deep breath. Being able to avoid that Q-skill after that fake move by Lee Sin, it was both luck and skill combined. Even though he had dodged that menacing skill-shot, Asmodai didn’t need much persuasion to advance on Luocheng’s Lee Sin!

 A Q-skill flew true, triggering the unique passive from the Statikk Shiv which hit Luocheng!

 The effect from Statikk Shiv, Critical effect, and the effect from Trinity Force, the trigger from these damages saw Luocheng’s health dropping by a significant amount, and Luocheng hurriedly retreated to the back of the minion wave, using them to avoid the other skill-shots.

He needed to wait for his skills to refresh, for his next set of skills to be ready.

 D*mn it, he couldn’t miss his next kicks!

 Just now, that had been such a perfect feint, but who knew that Asmodai’s subconscious reaction was that good. Even after his E-skill was launched, he was still able to side-step… just as expected from an experienced ADC!
