Back in base. His Jax had a purse full of gold. Lin Feng spent it all before looking around the map. Teleport was off cooldown. He could go anywhere and go for another y. “Ready for battle!” heughed. His gazended on topne. On the Fiora who wasst hitting minions. She was patient, refraining from pushing thene and only attacking when the minions were on theirst breath. But the wave was still pushing out and she was already fighting them next to the ruins of her outer tower.


    Lin Feng started smiling. Wide. Bright. Evil. Earlier, when he’d gone through the top side jungle of Bright High to gank the Orianna in midne, he’d left a ward at the Red Buff Camp. From there, it was a short trip up to topne. The Fiora was in the open. He could cut off her path of retreat. Like a fish on the chopping board. At this pace, she’d be worth less than a cannon minion in another few minutes. He pressed down on the F key, his mouse hovering over the ward in the Red Buff Camp.


    “Surprise! I’m back,” Lin Feng muttered as his Jax appeared at Bright High’s Red Buff Camp. He then had his Jax move up towards topne, past the Krugs and into the brush separating topne from the jungle. The Fiora had no wards in her jungle and no sight of the Jax. So, after killing thest few minions in topne, she’d started to back. Better to be safe than sorry. But she was still toote. Lin Feng’s Jax came running out of the brush and struck her with hismppost!


    W-where! What! How the hell… Why from there? I— There was no time. The Fiora yer knew this. His Champion was no match for the Jax. He had to get out. Now! He pressed the Q key and then the F key. His Fiora Lunged towards her inner tower, then shed a short distance. Anything to get closer to her inner tower. Anything to get away from the Jax!


    “Taste mymppost! Haha!” Lin Fengughed as he clicked on the Fiora and pressed on his Q key. His Jax Leap Striked onto the Fiora. A transparent mantle appeared over Jax’s head–Counter Strike! The Fiora couldn’t attack him, not that she was trying to. She was trying to get away! But he was on top of her. She had no more mobility skills. He hit her with hismppost, then used Empower to reset the internal cooldown of auto attacks. His weapon lit up. This attack would deal bonus damage! He followed up with a third auto attack. It was strengthened by the passive of Grandmaster’s Might.


    《You have in an enemy!》


    The difference was too big between the two. Levels. Items. Skill. Lin Feng held the advantage in every aspect. The Fiora didn’t stand a chance. Worse even, Lin Feng didn’t even have to go all out. He hadn’t even used the active part of his ultimate! He hadn’t needed to, because the Fiora didn’t attack him and she was too far away from her inner tower. So he never even got in tower range. It was all too easy.


    ?


    Lin Feng wasn’t the only yer on High School 13’s team who was winning hisne. Yang Fan was only tinum. Bright High’s Orianna was Diamond 2. But that didn’t stop Yang Fan from going even inne. And after Lin Feng hade for that gank and had killed the Orianna, Yang Fan had used that brief period of solo farm inne to pull ahead of the Orianna. It was a small advantage, but it turned out to be enough for him. He pushed the advantage and was even starting to win hisne!


    Tang Bingyao and Wei Dong were fairing even better in botne than Yang Fan was in mid. They’d be a really strong duo, especially over thest couple of days. Theirne was Lucian and Alistar versus Jinx and Blitzcrank. Jinx was as strong as ever, while Lucian had fallen off a bit after thest few patches. But even so, there was nothing in this game suggesting this. If anything, it looked like Jinx was the one who’d been nerfed.


    Tang Bingyao and Wei Dong were pushing the minion waves into Bright High’s outer tower. Bright High’s Lee Sin was being kept busy elsewhere on the map, so they didn’t have to worry much about a possible gank. They focused entirely on poking down the Jinx and Blitzcrank. To the point where Blitzcrank’s passive skill activated. Mana Barrier gave him a temporary shield based on his mana when he dropped to low health.


    The shield gave the Blitzcrank some confidence. He only had it for a little. This was the time to go in and try a y! It could turn thene around! He Overdrived into position and then shot out his right arm, trying to grab and hook the Lucian. But Tang Bingyao was prepared. She knew he’de. That was what Blitzcranks did. She had her Lucian dash to the side, dodging the hook–Relentless Pursuit!


    The Blitzcrank had moved forward, away from his tower. The Blitzcrank had used his crowd control skills. The Blitzcrank was out of position. Wei Dong knew this was his moment to shine. He hit down on the D key–sh! His Alistar shed forward, reappearing on top of the Blitzcrank. He then raised his bulky, muscr arms up and with the power of his bovine body smashed down on the ground–Pulverize! The Blitzcrank wasunched into the air, while the Alistar moved towards Bright High’s tower and then turned around. He dug his hooves in the ground and pushed off, charging forward and ramming his horns into the Blitzcrank, knocking him back–Headbutt!


    Tang Bingyao had her Lucian aim his two guns and shoot a bolt of Piercing Light through the Blitzcrank! This activated his passive, Lightslinger. Whenever Lucian used an ability, his next attack would be a double-shot. The Blitzcrank’s Mana Barrier disappeared. His health dropped low. Lucian shot a missile in a star shape, marking the Blitzcrank. He followed up with another double-shot. And then another auto attack.


    《An enemy has been in!》


    Lin Feng heard the voice announcer and quickly panned his camera to botne. The Jinx was hiding under her tower, while Tang Bingyao’s Lucian stood over the corpse of the Blitzcrank. He smiled and said, “Nice job at bot! Great kill, Tang Tang!”


    “Thank Wei Dong. It was his Alistar y. I didn’t do much there,” Tang Bingyao replied.


    Lin Feng wouldn’t let Tang Bingyao walk away without epting thepliment. So he said, “Doesn’t matter! It was some beautiful teamy! 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, ncing 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 teamsst year, and this year they made it all the way to the main tournament. That wasn’t the difference of just one yer. This could only be if the whole team had be better.


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


    Zeng Rui looked away from therge monitor and towards the yers sitting behind theirputers. 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 Boners were ying 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 Toner. His eyelids twitched. He bit on his lips. He didn’t want to say it. Or admit it. But. “...that thundering dumbass ying Jax.”


    ?


    There was no need for Lin Feng to y too seriously. He was just having fun. His Jax was fed. No one could stop him. He pushed out the minion wave in topne, 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 startedughing. “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 mymppost!


    The Fiora stepped forward. Lin Feng had his Jax Leap Strike onto her. He then whacked her with hismppost. “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 nning on retreating. He was Jax. “Come at me together! Try! See what happens!” Heughed, 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. Hismppost 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,unching 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 yer 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 therge 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 twomentators were spot on. When Lin Feng saw the Lee Sin, he dropped his immediate n of killing Orianna and ran back up the topne. 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 sh. The Lee Sin activated the second half of his Q skill–Resonating Strike! He dashed towards the Jax. Lin Feng pressed down and eximed, “It’s not over yet!”


    The Jax shed over the jungle wall. The Lee Sin followed after him. Then he ced 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 hismppost, knocking thest 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 yer. 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…
