The summoner names of teammates weren''t visible during the pick-ban phase, unless they typed in chat. So, the viewers only realized who was on their team when his message appeared in the game chat.


    「Mid please. Find my stream by searching Ol’ ck on Huya. Give me my role, and I’ll carry you to the moon~ 」This was the catchphrase of a popr Huya TV League streamer called Ol’ ck. His streams would often have around 50,000 viewers. However, unlike most famous streamers who yed in Diamond, Master, and Challenger, he prefered to smurf in low elo and stomp on noobs. Bullying little kids in Silver and Gold, this was what everyone watched Ol’ ck’s stream for.


    「no one knows his real rank, but he’s rank 1 smashing n00bs!!!1」


    「That’s cuz he’d get zero attention ying people in higher ranks. Lawl.」


    「Yeah, but it’s still he fun to watch him steamroll people in low el Haha」


    The viewers in Su Xue’s chat stirred, going back and forth about what they thought of Ol’ ck.


    “Ol’ ck?” Lin Feng scratched his head. “Never heard of him.”


    “All you need to know is that he’s a pretty good streamer with a lot of viewers,” Su Xue replied.


    Zuo You rubbed her chin, a pensive look on her face. “Oh, right! I’ve watched some of his streams before. Whenever I was really bored. It was pretty entertaining watching him stomp on noobs!” She turned to Lin Feng with a teasing smile. “Haha. You really lucked out this time. Enjoy the free carry.”


    “Free carry?” Lin Feng shook his head. He clenched his fist and dered with a confident smile, “I don’t need a carry. I am the carry!”


    Zuo You clicked her tongue. “Wow, so confident. Fine, prove it. I’m looking forward to it. Hehe.”


    ?


    On another stream with 50,000 viewers on Huya TV. “Mhm, what kind of midner should I pick for this game? Tell me, guys!” Ol’ ck asked his viewers. Hezily reclined in his chair, picking his teeth with a toothpick.


    「mid Garen!」


    「show us your Heimer mid!」


    「I wanna see you y Xin Zhao!」


    「Please show us your Riven ys!」


    Ol’ ck chuckled and waved his hands. “Ah, it’s fine. Hehe. Nevermind. I already got someone in mind~” When it came time for him to pick his champion, he sat forward and locked in Lenc, the Deceiver.


    Mid Lenc! The tens of thousands of viewers in his chat erupted in excitement. Lenc was one of the champions they loved watching Ol’ ck y the most. In these sorts of low elo games, he could use her to toy around with the opponents and decide the game within the first 10 minutes. At the same time, fourth pick also locked in their champion—Lee Sin, the Blind Monk.


    “Jungle Lee, huh?” Ol’ ck remarked, continuing to pick at his teeth. “A Lee in this elo, I wonder if he’s actually blind?” Ol’ ck was ying in high Silver, low Gold. Few if any yers could y Lee Sin well in this elo. Ol’ ck quicklyughed. “No problem! Even if our teammates suck, it doesn’t matter. My Lenc will carry for sure!”


    「Wow! So cooool!」


    「Heck yeah! Show us your carry!」


    「I want youuuuu!!! Have my babies! <3333」


    “Hoh? Seems like we have another streamer in our game,” Ol’ ck mumbled. The Lee Sin had a Huya TV tag beside their summoner name. Another streamer at this rank? The viewers were all surprised. None of them had heard of this Evening Snowfall before!


    Ol’ ck rubbed his chin with a pensive look. Then, he smiled and made a casual guess, “Probably a new streamer! The summoner name seems like a girl’s. I wonder if she’s pretty… Well, whatever, doesn’t matter! I’ll let ‘em see how hard I can carry! Hahahaha!”


    ?


    Back in Su Xue’s stream, the initial hubbub of having a popr streamer in their game died down. The viewers quickly turned their attention to the champion Lin Feng picked.


    「Li’l bro, you can y Lee Sin too?」


    「Awesome! I love ying Lee!」


    「Show us your Lee Sin carry!」


    Zuo You stared at Lin Feng and curled her lips. “Kid, you can really y Lee Sin? Not many people can y him well, you know. Just don’t do anything to stupid, wouldn’t wanna be called blind. Hehe.”


    “Hey, can you really y Lee? Don’t embarrass me,” Su Xue asked in an anxious tone. Lin Feng mostly yed ad-carry on her ount. She’d seen him y jungle Jarvan before but never Lee Sin.


    “Don’t worry! My Lee Sin is really good!”


    「You go li’l bro! We believe in you!」


    「Show off your skills!」


    「Are you thirsty? Should we tell the maid to get you a drink?」


    “Hey! Enough of that, you guys!” Su Xue eximed.


    ?


    They loaded into the game and before long found themselves on Summoner’s Rift. This Gold-rank match was the perfect yground for Ol’ ck with his Lenc. Walking down to mine, he dered full of bravado, “Sit back and watch. I’ll show you guys my god-nc!”


    Lin Feng and his jungle Lee Sin didn’t fall short in confidence either. “We’ve already got this game in the bag!”


    “Huh?” Su Xue looked at Lin Feng in surprise.


    “How do you already have it won? The game hasn’t even started~” Zuo You asked.


    Lin Feng patted his chest. “Because I’m the jungler!”


    At 1:55 minutes into the game, the jungle camps spawned. Lin Feng chose to start at red buff, having his topner help leash for him. He killed it and leveled up. Then, he headed for the enemy jungle.


    “Eh?” Ol’ ck remarked in surprise. After forcing the enemy Ahri a step back, he happened to nce at his minimap just as Lin Feng moved down to the enemy blue buff. “Is he nning to counter-jungle?”


    ?


    “No, I’m not counter-jungling. I’m picking up a free kill,” Lin Feng exined to Su Xue, Zuo You, and the stream viewers with a confident smile. ”The enemy Jarvan probably started red. When hees to get his blue buff, we just have to wait for him to use up all his skills and then pick up a free kill.”


    Su Xue was skeptical, while Zuo You had a pensive look on her face. Even though she didn’t main jungle, she saw these types of early invades often enough. If he seeded, the payoff was great. She turned her attention to Lin Feng. Is this kid really good enough to counter-jungle? Maybe he’s bullshitting. Well, we’ll see soon enough.


    Lin Feng had already crossed the river and silently entered the enemy’s jungle. He ced down a ward over the wall in the blue camp. Then, he waited in the river entrance bush behind the blue camp.


    Afterying in ambush for only a few seconds, a figure d in golden armour appeared. The viewers immediately stirred. Jarvan IV was here!


    1. A saying that was popr among Chinese yers. Those that could actually y the champion well were called Lee Sin. The rest were simply blind.
