Chapter 385: A Stomp for the Ages

Everyone on Shenyang Universitys team was more than aware of Lin Fengs skill with Assassin-type midlane champions. Lin Feng wasnt just good at playing Assassin-type midlane champions. He wasnt just a strong player on them. He wasnt just dominating, unstoppable and legendary. Nope. He was something else entirelyHe was a force of nature!

But Lin Feng had a few good reasons for going the Control Mage route in the series against Shenyang University. First and foremost among those reasons was that Shenyangs Midlaner wasnt anywhere near good enough to make Lin Feng really try. He didnt need to play his best or even his second best Champions. But rather than goofing around on his favourite Champions, Lin Feng decided to practice with Champions he didnt regularly play. There were two goals this served. First off, he wouldnt reveal just how good he was at his favourite Champions to the other competing teams. And secondly, it deepened his Champion pool for his Korean account. He only had a few more days left to climb the final spots and to ensure he won every game he played, he had to be able to pick the optimal Champion for every situation.

Shenyang University didnt have the luxury of holding back. They had their backs pushed against the wall, loaded guns aimed at them. And the entire situation was their fault, because they werent playing near the level they knew they could. It just took them two full games to realize that. Between the second and the third game, they took a small break and walked away from the stage to reset their mental. They walked around the stadium and watched the fans, listened to the cheers and reminded themselves why they were here, what they were here for. To win!

When Shenyang University returned to their computers, they were ready. Reinvigorated. They recognized that with Lin Feng playing Control Mage-type Champions, the late game was nearly impossible to win. That just meant that they had to win it early. So they chose Champions that excelled at the laning phase. They also recognized that the midlane wasnt a lane they could ever win, and that Team Shanghais top lane was their weakest link. So they used the top lane to kickstart their other lanes.

Zhang Hao didnt see it come. He was just feeling comfortable enough in the series to pick Ryze, a late game Champion. But Ryze had no escape mechanics and a very small health pool during the laning phase. In the first 5 minutes of the game, he was killed three times. Two of those deaths were to Shenyangs Toplaner who was playing Fiora. And a fed Fiora was dangerous.

Shenyang University made full use of their Fiora. They helped her pull further and further ahead and by the 14th minute, the 4,000 gold advantage they enjoyed was almost entirely on her. She ran around the map and through Team Shanghais Jungle. She killed Tang Bingyao, Zeng Rui and An Xin. She went in one versus four and dove towers whenever she felt like it. The only times she grew cautious, the only times she retreated, was when Lin Fengs Lulu came close to her. That was the one fight she didnt want to pick.

It took Shenyang University until the 30th minute to get the confidence they needed to take on Lin Fengs Lulu. They were laying siege on the inhibitor tower in midlane, with a boost from the Baron Buff, when Tang Bingyao made a slight positional error. Fiora noticed and Lunged. She dove the tower and took Tang Bingyaos Jinx out with a flurry of attacks, spawning a Healing Field. Shenyang University made full use of that to take out the rest of Team Shanghai, Lin Fengs Lulu included. From there it was an easy win. They took down the inhibitor tower, inhibitor, nexus towers and finally the nexus. The Blue energy within broke free and morphed into the victory emblem for them.

VICTORY

WOOOOOO!WEVE GOT A REAL GAME ON OUR HANDS NOW!FRIGGIN FINALLY! WAS ABOUT DAMN TIME!SHENYANG FOR THE WIIIIIN!MASSIVE PLAYS BY FIORA!

Sun Ruinian sat in the player seating area with his teammates from Zhejiang University. He clicked his tongue and said, Shenyangs good. This is what I remember them like. When they get going, theyre just so good at coordination and map-wide plays. Its really killer.

Zou Cheng sighed in disappointment and said, Why is Lin Feng playing Support mids? He went Lulu for fucks sake! What did he expect would happen? He doesnt do any damage! He just flutters around all useless and his team is nothing without him! They need him to carry! Yeah, yeah, its a team game. I know. I know. Really, I do! But what did they expect? Theyve got a tanky Jungler with Sejuani and then they put their worst two players on Ryze and Jinx. Its like they wanted to lose this game!

Maybe, Sun Ruinian replied. He looked at Team Shanghais soundproof booth and added, One things for certain though. If Lin Feng played LeBlanc or Fizz, this game wouldve been over.

Thats what Im saying! Zou Cheng exclaimed.

Zhang Hongyi sat a couple of rows away from Zhejiang University. He glanced at them and then back at the large LCD screen above the stage. He chuckled and said, What a bunch of idiots. Talking like Team Shanghais got this in the bag. I dont see it. How can they possibly win with Zeng SucksAlot Rui? Scrubs!

Yu Ping shook his head and breathed out loudly. Zhang Hongyi needs to stop worrying so much about that Support. Weve got our work cut out for us if we need to play Team Shanghai. Their Midlaner Those guys from Zhejiang are most likely right. If he plays LeBlanc or Fizz, this series is over.

Lin Feng ruffled his hair and said over the teams voice chat, Alright, that was enough fun for one day. Lets just end it here. He turned his head to look at An Xin and continued, BunBun, camp the shit out of top. Get HaoBro to Legendary! Ill do the same in mid and ZengZeng will help Tang Tang do the same in bot! Well go triple Legendary and smack some asses!

Zhang Hao grimaced and replied, Im really so

Uh, no youre not, An Xin interrupted. She glared at Lin Feng and continued, Its DimFengs fault that you fell so far behind. He was just messing around and pinging way too late whenever Shenyangs Midlaner went to gank top. But hes right about one thing. We need to win this next one. Lets play our best.

Mhm! Tang Bingyao agreed, nodding vigorously.

In the fourth game of the series between Team Shanghai and Shenyang University, Team Shanghai played the Red team. That meant that they had the last pick in Champion Select. Lin Feng waited to see Shenyangs Universitys line up, grinned, and locked in Fizz. He clenched his fist and mumbled, Its time to rock n roll!

Everyone across the globe who knew him, knew what was coming next. Su Xue was jumping up and down in her chair, both relieved and excited. Her viewers were losing it, spamming her chat to show their adoration for Lin Feng. Even Yu Ping, whod only watched Lin Feng play and had never even come across him in solo queue, shifted in his chair. He knew he was in for a good show.

At 4 minutes: Lin Fengs Fizz picked up first blood on Shenyangs Twisted Fate.

At 6 minutes: Lin Fengs Fizz hit Level 6 before Shenyangs Twisted Fate did. He used this advantage to jump on Twisted Fate and kill him, all the while watching the movements from Shenyangs Lee Sin who was running into the lane. Lin Feng timed his cooldowns perfectly and ran around the lane with such precision that Lee Sin couldnt hit a single kill. And then Lin Feng picked up the double kill.

At 8 minutes: Lin Feng tagged along with An Xin on a trip to the top lane, where they towerdove Shenyangs Rumble. He picked up the kill. It was his third of the game.

At 10 minutes: Lin Fengs Fizz swam through the river to the bot lane, where Shenyangs Lee Sin tried to gank Tang Bingyao and Zeng Rui. He helped to turn the gank around, picking up two kills and an assist, bringing his score to an impressive 5/0/1.

At 18 minutes: Lin Fengs Fizz picked up another solo kill on Shenyangs Twisted Fate. It was his eighth kill of the game and the voice announcer broadcasted this by calling him Legendary!

Dude Da fuck? Whats this game?I dont know That Fizz Holy mother of my father who bangs my brother, hes so good!Feels like Im watching a game of solo queue Theres no teamwork or anything, just a hard carry by Fizz.Pretty sure he doesnt even need his teammates. Havent seen a stomp this bad in months!My fucking god! Shenyang has fallen far. Theyre getting solod by a fucking high schooler! Theyre losing all face!Theyre already toothless, might as well be skinless

TheBrawnster shook his head, incredulous, and muttered, Yo, yo, yo! TheBrawnster here to tell you that Shenyang sucks massive dongs! I guess Jesus, what a game. What happened to them? They looked so good in Game 3 and then Well, this. Whatever this is.

I know right! PufPuf shrieked. Its like they gave up!

Chu Fang chuckled. He could hear the gasps and murmurs from the audience behind him and he could see the pure shock in the people around him. What they were witnessing wasnt a university level Midlaner outclassing another university level Midlaner. What they were witnessing was a stomp so hard that it felt like Lin Feng was Rake and Shenyangs Midlaner a 600 Bronze nobody. Chu Fang grinned and mumbled, Youre not yet where you were. But its good to see you try, because youre still really damned good when you try. More than good enough to beat any team here, anyway.

20 minutes after the game started, Lin Feng decided it was time to end Shenyang Universitys suffering. Hed destroyed their hopes and dreams 15 minutes earlier, but now their Nexus collapsed too. The energy within broke free and morphed into the victory emblem. He grinned and looked over the rim of his monitor at the fanshis fanswho were on their feet and cheering. For me, he mumbled.
