So he said, “Doesn’t matter! It was some beautiful teamplay! That’s what bot is all about! You guys are doing awesome together and that’s why you’re picking up those kills! Great job to the both of you!”

Tang Bingyao tilted her head, glancing over at Lin Feng.
Maybe he has a point? She took a deep breath.
Maybe he does.
She smiled and nodded, “Mhm!”

Zeng Rui, Support and captain of Shanghai High School’s esports team, was still watching the game between High School 13 and Bright High.
There was some interest.
Just a smidge.
He had to take all his opponents seriously.
Most of all those who were performing above and beyond how everyone expected them to.
That was why High School 13 was important.
One of the weakest teams last year, and this year they made it all the way to the main tournament.
That wasn’t the difference of just one player.
This could only be if the whole team had become better.

Beyond the last year, just over this last week, High School 13 had become a stronger team.
This had Zeng Rui’s full attention right now.
More specifically, it was High School 13’s bot lane and then mostly the Support.
That Alistar engage, the Flash into Headbutt, was done perfectly.
He’d waited for the right moment.
Combined his skills accurately.
Zeng Rui himself couldn’t have done it any better! But it wasn’t just this one play.
There was something more.
It was this Alistar’s entire play style that was a step up from only a week ago.

Zeng Rui looked away from the large monitor and towards the players sitting behind their computers.
Towards the ad-carry and Support from High School 13.
A girl and a guy.
Their synergy is getting really good.
They’ve improved so much in only a week.
Ah, it doesn’t matter.
It really didn’t matter.
There was nothing for him to worry about.
Yes, High School 13’s Botlaners were playing a great game.
They were getting better every game it looked like.
But they were still a far cry from himself and his ad-carry.
There was no way they could get that good anytime soon.

“The others are good.
But in the end, the biggest threat is still…” Zeng Rui shook his head, while turning towards High School 13’s Toplaner.
His eyelids twitched.
He bit on his lips.
He didn’t want to say it.
Or admit it.
But.
“…that thundering dumbass playing Jax.”

✹

There was no need for Lin Feng to play too seriously.
He was just having fun.
His Jax was fed.
No one could stop him.
He pushed out the minion wave in top lane, all the way towards Bright High’s inner tower.
What he’d done so far to the Fiora still wasn’t enough.
He’d make sure she wouldn’t get anything! You want the minions? He grinned.
Come.
I won’t attack you.
Promise! He started laughing.
“Hehehe.” I won’t attack you.
Really.
Just get some farm.
It’s free! “Hehehe.” He leaned towards his screen, devious.
Then his mouth opened into an even bigger grin.
Oh oh! Yes! A few more steps! “Hehehe.” Since you’re here already, how about having a taste of my lamppost!

The Fiora stepped forward.
Lin Feng had his Jax Leap Strike onto her.
He then whacked her with his lamppost.
“Oh?” Lin Feng mumbled.
“So it’s a bait.
Alright.” He shrugged as he watched the Orianna walked out of the jungle, trying to cut his retreat off.
But he wasn’t planning on retreating.
He was Jax.
“Come at me together! Try! See what happens!” He laughed, then pressed on his W key–Empower! His Jax had just hit the Fiora for a second time.
The internal cooldown for his auto attack reset.
His lamppost lit up.
It was the third attack, which activated the passive from his ultimate, Grandmaster’s Might.
A super empowered auto attack hit the Fiora.
It knocked her to the ground and she couldn’t get back up.

《Dominating!》

That was Jax ’s sixth kill.
Zero deaths.
But if it was up to Bright High, they’d do something about that.
The Orianna used her ultimate skill–Command: Shockwave.
Her Ball unleashed a shockwave, launching all enemy Champions towards it and dealing damage to them.
In this case, that enemy was Jax.
Lin Feng activated Counter Strike to mitigate some of the damage, but the crowd control aspect pulled him towards her.
Not that he minded.
Now he could kill her too.
Except for the fact that at that very moment, another player from Bright High showed himself.
Safeguarding out from the jungle was Lee Sin!

West Wind sat at the caster’s desk, leaning forward.
Just a little closer to the large screen.
“This is exciting! It looks like Bright High is putting everything on killing the Jax! They might actually do it here!”

Silent Reed nodded and added, “That Jax is going to have to run.
Orianna and Lee Sin together is just too much damage.
He’s far ahead, but those two have everything to kill him.”

The two commentators were spot on.
When Lin Feng saw the Lee Sin, he dropped his immediate plan of killing Orianna and ran back up the top lane.
He stuck close to the jungle wall.
The Lee Sin hit him with a Sonic Wave.
One he didn’t side step.
His finger was on the D key, ready to press down.
Ready to Flash.
The Lee Sin activated the second half of his Q skill–Resonating Strike! He dashed towards the Jax.
Lin Feng pressed down and exclaimed, “It’s not over yet!”

The Jax flashed over the jungle wall.
The Lee Sin followed after him.
Then he placed a ward back on the other side.
The side where the Orianna was.
The Orianna who was trying to rush towards him.
He Leap Striked over the wall and onto the ward, finding himself right in front of the Orianna.
He followed up with an auto attack, then used Empower to reset his auto and attacked again! The next auto attack triggered the bonus damage from Grandmaster’s Might! He swung down his lamppost, knocking the last bit of health out of the Orianna’s health bar.

《Double kill!》

A stunned silence washed over the crowd.
Over the shoutcasters.
Even over the Orianna player.
All he could do was stare at his screen.
It was grey.
He was dead.
That Jax… They’d ganked up on him.
A 3vs1! He shouldn’t have gotten a single kill! They should’ve killed him! But here they were.
Two deaths.
And the Jax was still alive.
He stared at his screen, dazed.
M-my Orianna…
