Chapter 189: Assault on Fudan University

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The National University E-sports competition had certain ties to the professional field, and Luocheng was highly reluctant to participate in it.

However, when he thought about being able to obtain the title of an outstanding graduate, his family may be pleased with it. Luocheng felt that putting aside using his academic strength to get it, even graduating by itself may be a problem.

Since it was recognized and encouraged by the university, Luocheng figured it was a more justifiable reason to do so. Thus, he promised Yang Ying that he would play in the upcoming friendly match with Fudan University.

After the meeting, it was already dinner time. Yang Ying didn’t need to accompany his girlfriend, so he took Luocheng to the cafeteria to eat. He also took the time to explain more in detail about the strength of the other universities to him.

Currently, the strongest was Fudan University. This was already seen in the previous competitions. Fudan University’s top team also participated in many professional leagues and had obtained high glories, they weren’t a normal bunch of university students.

The second was Hangzhou University. Their strength was on par with third seed professional teams and may even be toeing the line into being on par with second seed professional teams.

The third was Hong Kong University, it was said that they had special training for the students and their strength was similar to Guangdong Zhongshan University.

Yang Ying explained all of this to Luocheng as they ate, and he admitted that although Shanghai University had managed to rank in the top ten, the difference in their strength with the top three teams was very big.

Yang Ying estimated that their own team could probably be on par with third seed professional teams, but if they were to play against them, they would probably still have many places to improve on.

“Hangzhou University is actually Revelation club’s second and third seed teams. They are located nearby Revelation’s apartment and they improve their tactics and plays by watching, learning, and explaining. Since they have such a close relation with Revalation’s main team who are also a LPL team, how can they not be strong? If there were any professional teams nearby our Shanghai University, we could also enter into the top three.” Yang Ying sighed as he ended his explanation.

Other teams had professional analysts in them, and they could point out loopholes and inadequacy during their practice matches. They would also have a person who specialized in tactics and had an overall comprehensive understanding of the entire battle, which would then could come up with better tactics to cover all the shortcomings of the team.

With this kind of teaching, analysing, and urging, naturally the team’s strength would increase too.

One of the troublesome problems that they had in Shanghai University was that they didn’t have any of the above mentioned specialists. They didn’t even have a strong team who could teach or mentor them.

Guidance and advice were highly important, and it was something that would allow them to directly enter into the lower level professionals. It would also give them a better advantage when going against the professional teams, rather than just feeling powerless every time.

“There’s a team beside our school too.” Luocheng said.

Yang Ying’s eyes widened, hurriedly asking, “A team? Which one?”

“Team Skycrown.”

“Skycrown?” Yang Ying furrowed his brows as he thought hard, going through every single team he knew in his mind. There was no such team name he knew that rang a bell.

“Er...it was formed a few days ago.” Luocheng added on after a period of silence.

“Are you f*cking kidding me?” Yang Ying was this close to taking his plate and slamming it into Luocheng’s head.

It was undeniable that Team Skycrown’s bond was weak right now, between Lin Dong, Da Luo, Xiao Bei, Zhou Yan, and their newest member, Wu Sen. Individually, they were strong, and they wouldn’t feel any pressure going against these professional players.

However, if they were to play as a team, it was possible that they would have problems even with the lower level professional teams. The most important aspect of a team was not only based on individual strength, but on the depth of bond and understanding each other without any words.

“If we have the chance, let’s have a friendly match against them. They’re quite strong.” Luocheng said instead.

“Luocheng, our team isn’t some second rate noob team, and there are some teams in the professional circle that can’t even match us! And here you are, asking us to play against some newly formed team, you’re really asking for a beating on them!” Yang Ying said arrogantly.

“Let’s just give it a try, we need to get in as much practice against strong teams when we can anyway, right?” Luocheng said, not bothered to push too much.

“Ugh, fine. If they’re too weak, we won’t play against them. Also, I’ve been pushing for you to join our best team and you freaking can’t just be grateful and join? Putting on airs like that in front of them, I’m telling you, if you embarrass me in the match against Fudan University, I’ll tell my sister to break up with you!” Yang Ying said.

Luocheng’s face darkened, this a*shole!

“Alright, alright. I’ll make sure I play properly.” Luocheng said, his face not betraying his anger. “What role will I be playing?”

“Support. Going against Fudan University isn’t a joke, we can’t give any other important roles to you.” Yang Ying replied without missing a beat.

“No problem, I like playing Support,” Luocheng said, nodding his head.

Why did he like to play Support?

People always looked down on Supports, if so, wouldn’t the wow factor be bigger if you could use that role to carry the whole game?

“There’s only about two months left so you’d better train well.” Yang Ying said.

“Don’t expect me to show up for all the practices.” Luocheng shot back.

“Damn, you’re still like that...”

***

The fact that Fudan University had invited Shanghai University for a friendly match was basically a warm up before the competitions. The student council took this event seriously, sending a lecturer who was familiar with electronics to chaperone the team, even preparing the university’s bus to bring them to Fudan University.

With a lecturer to chaperone, a student who was responsible to distribute water or tea, and also members of their second team, a total of twenty people from the E-sports club entered Fudan University for the friendly match event.

“Fudan University is strong, we’re here this time more to observe and investigate their tactics and play, whether or not we can win is another matter. The main thing is to maintain a good attitude, don’t lose confidence.” The lecturer gave them a pep talk on the bus, wanting everyone to be on the same page.

The lecturer was actually the head of department of Luocheng’s department. He not only had outstanding academic and management skills, but also a deep understanding and knowledge of LOL.

“Mr. Fang, they’ll definitely beat us into the ground!” Not sure who shouted that.

“...”

“Can you not be so boneless!”

“Ai, it can’t be helped, it’s not like you don’t know Fudan University’s strength. Even the eight LPL qualifying teams had to give it their all when going against them...”

“Don’t lose confidence like that, just play a good match. With this match, we can judge the distance between our team and the stronger ones. Don’t worry about it.” Mr. Fang said, trying to reassure them.
