Chapter 238: Wait Another 17 Minutes To Surrender!
Walking through the crowd, they managed to find the stage. An expressionless staff came over to guide them to the seats. Apart from the players, it looked like every team had a number of followers, which is to say, there were a lot of people on each floor and the staff were busy running around to maintain order and organize the game.
The noise level was very high, and among it, you could often hear loud laughter and chatting. Preseason competitions were like that. With the number of people here, it was impossible to have a semblance of order and it was easy for it to descend into chaos.
“Your opponent is Team Miracle.” The staff holding the schedule said.
The members of Team Miracle were already seated on the opposite side and they looked to be guys from the Northeast, and their accent was heavy.
Once the staff did the necessary briefing on the rules of the game, the players entered into the game.
In the banning phase, both sides chose conventional champions and more conservative lineups. In elimination matches, even professional teams would not dare to take the game lightly as this would lead to failure.

“Shit, I was shocked for a while because I thought for sure we were going to meet Team Lenovo!” The short guy who was playing ADC for Team Miracle said.
“Yeah, yeah. When the referee was announcing the names, my mind was thinking our luck would be so bad that it was going to be Team Lenovo, but who the hell are these Skycrown bozos?” Team Miracle’s Top said in agreement.
Team Miracle hailed from Shenyang and they had participated in internet cafe leagues as well as the Champion War. Sadly, they hadn’t managed to win any titles. They had played against Team Lenovo who was sponsored by Lenovo in one of the internet cafe leagues, and Team Lenovo clearly left an impression on them!
Well, think about it. If you endured and told yourself you could surrender in just another ten minutes, and then found that your base had already been demolished at seventeen minutes, it definitely would have left a damned strong impression on you too, wouldn’t it?
They used to look down and ridicule those trash teams, calling them little kids, but now after encountering such a strong team, they realized that they were also one of the little kids all along.
“Boss Wang has said that when encountering an unknown team, the game must be finished within thirty minutes. Remember to keep a fast pace!” The captain of Team Miracle—Lei Xiao said.
“Understood, we will ensure that the game is done within the designated time frame.”
Although there was no soundproofing in the competition area, due to the overwhelming number of people, the entire area was so noisy to the point that whatever they said couldn’t be heard on the opposite side.
***
In the first level teamfight, they met at the river. For Team Skycrown who were protecting their Support and lacking vision, they obviously disengaged. This move made Bin Bin sneer at them.
Team Skycrown had Jax, Zyra, and Lux. This was an advantageous lineup for a level one teamfight, and if they met at the jungle area, they should have just fought with no hesitation.
“Aih, why are they so afraid? Their lineup for a level one fight is so much stronger than the other side, they could have fought!” Bin Bin couldn’t help but blurt out.
The other members of Team Scarlet also had some doubt in their eyes, silently agreeing with what Bin Bin had just said.
The members of Team Skycrown had their headphones on, and it acted as a shield to block out all noise from the area. They were well aware that they had the advantage in a level one teamfight, however, they were following Luocheng’s instruction and refused to engage.
Not engaging in a level one fight was as bad as letting the Baron get taken!
The Support had started to plant wards, covering the key areas of the jungle. Wu Sen had one thing that Luocheng couldn’t help but admire, and it was the fact that as a LPL player, he treated each competition seriously, not taking them lightly nor showing any slack. This was a quality that all masters should have.
When meeting weaker foes, finish them off cleanly and simply.
When meeting strong foes, face them and don’t be arrogant or impatient.

It was a regular start with everyone getting onto their own lanes and beginning to farm steadily.
“This match will be so boring, they’re so careful, seriously!” Bin Bin huffed.
“Would it kill you to shut up?” Huang Yu muttered unhappily.
“Yes.”
“Go die then…”
FIRST BLOOD!
While Huang Yu and Bin Bin were bickering, top lane suddenly threw out a first blood!
“F*ck, like that also can! Shit!” Tongtong’s eyes were wide as he exclaimed in surprise.
Tongtong was a main Top, naturally his focus would be on the top lane which was played by Da Luo.
Da Luo was playing a top lane Lee Sin and both sides had appeared at the same time in their lane. First blood was taken at 2 minutes and 10 seconds!
You have to understand that the melee minions would meet at the lane only at 2 minutes 03 seconds, which is to say that it only took 7 seconds for Da Luo to take the kill!
Not engaging in a level one teamfight but taking the first blood within 7 seconds was a little over the top!
Tongtong had clearly seen how Da Luo moved with Lee Sin. When Lee Sin and Riven had met and watched the other farm, they had immediately engaged. Tongtong initially thought that Lee Sin had upgraded the wrong skill, but he didn’t expect a normal basic attack to be followed up with a Q, kicking twice and with a level two Q, kicking once more…
Then, he Flashed after the opponent Flashed to escape, securing the kill!
This set of combos, even Tongtong knew how to do it. However, it had never been as accurately calculated as this Lee Sin had done, even more so that he didn’t have that level of confidence and determination!
Tongtong couldn’t help but stare in stunned silence.
The Top from Team Miracle himself was dumbfounded!
This was the fastest first blood he had given out in his whole career of playing League of Legends!
The embarrassment of giving out first blood at 2 minutes 10 seconds was as bad as lasting 7 seconds in front of a girl!
“Mistakes…mistakes were made.” The top laner from Team Miracle said awkwardly in an effort to cover himself.
“Play properly.” Lei Xiao said.
DOUBLE KILL!
Lei Xiao hadn’t even finished uttering his sentence and bottom lane suddenly took down two kills!
Double kill to the Graves!
2 minutes 40 seconds.
As the bottom lane pair waited to be resurrected at their fountain, they looked at their champions who were slain without mercy. Just a bit more and the double kill would have been theirs instead…
It was just that little difference.
Lei Xiao’s face fell, it was only 30 seconds into the game and their opponents already had three kills!
With such a start to the game, what the hell was ordinary mindset, arrogance, impatience, or calmness!
Your ally has been slain!
In the minute that Lei Xiao’s emotions were running rampant, falling into the deepest pit, a strangled scream came from the direction of the blue buff. It was followed by the announcement: Your ally has been f*cking slain again!
F*ck, can you even still play like this!
Reaching their lanes at 2 minutes, playing for a mere 1 minute, and they had already mowed their way to getting four kills!
With such an outcome, Lei Xiao now had the feeling that he should just give the middle lane his head, let them experience an ACE before even playing one minute of the game!
That’s right, the game had only been running for three minutes and Team Miracle had already lost the will to play…
Thinking back to the worst time of their life against Team Lenovo, they were thinking at least it was just another ten minutes before they could surrender…
This time, they needed to f*cking wait for another 17 minutes before they could surrender!
