League of Legends: League of Unknowns

Chapter 358: Firstblood by the Support, Garen!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When picking their champions, Da Luo picked Darius, and it was the first pick.

“The noob’s champion. Oh my, that champion is sooo strong!” K, who is the top laner, said sarcastically.

Under normal circumstances, Darius was rarely picked in competitions. At the top of the gaming league, it would be extremely hard to see him.

With that said and done, this champion was brutal, and he was often used to punish those kids that didn’t do their homework!

Wu Sen chose LeBlanc, a very aggressive and complex female champion.

Zhou Yan picked the very easy Alistar as his champion to jungle.

Alistar as a Jungler had already become a very old strategy, and after Zhou Yan had picked him, no one knew what he was doing with his champion. Maybe he was the Support?

Even so, Qianqian knew that Zhou Yan was in charge of jungling and had already made appropriate preparations.

After that, it was Lin Dong’s turn to pick. Lin Dong chose a very unpopular ADC, Urgot, who was also one of the ugliest ones.

Out of these four champions, there were already two of the ugliest ones in the whole game.

Upon seeing Lin Dong’s choice of champion, this did cause their enemy team to feel a slight sense of foreboding. This was because meeting these four lesser-used champions was a very rare sight… even more rare than scoring a pentakill!

As a four hundred attack range champion, it was extremely hard to peg him as a strong ADC, and yet, Lin Dong had actually chosen him!

Soon, it was time for Luocheng to pick his champion. After a short pause, he had made up his mind to pick a very famous champion in LOL!

“For Demacia!”

Garen!

It was a quick picking phase, and the screen immediately switched into the loading screen.

When Team Demolition realized that the Support was Garen, they literally stared right at the screen, barely believing their eyes! Even the judge also almost choked on the water she had been drinking.

Garen!? Dude, what era was it now, and you’re still using Garen to support!?

Please don’t reduce our competition’s level. If you usually played normal matches in cybercafes and your power level is under four thousand, no one would have anything to say. Garen was indeed popular with kids, as they had completely no idea what a ‘Support’ was.

You need to be clear about this, this is a COMPETITION!

An organized and proper competition!

After this, you would go to the Tencent Games Arena, and the champion of the whole country would get two hundred thousand dollars!

And yet, here you are, choosing Garen as a Support.

The beautiful judge had broken into cold sweat. My, and he had even said that he would help me win my matches, such misplaced confidence!

“I can’t, I really can’t!” Xu Ben had almost cramped up by laughing too hard.

The ones who normally joined these competitions were at least in platinum or diamond rank, otherwise, where else would they get their confidence from?

This was a proper competition and not some child’s play. Garen? As a Support? These kids from Sandy County were probably still lower than level thirty. Please, get to level thirty, own at least sixteen champions, play until you get to either platinum or diamond rank, and only then, come and join this competition!

Team Demolition had already laughed until they could barely breathe. This was the first time they had come across such a funny team in a competition.

…

Although it was funny, the game had started nonetheless.

The five champions all went out together as soon as they had spawned and bought their items.

The judge wiped the imaginary sweat off her forehead. Thank goodness these players did not wait in their lanes immediately, or this would definitely pull down the standard of the competition.

Luocheng had incredible speed and rushed to the front.

His items were very normal, two vision wards, three control wards, and also, a health potion.

He placed a ward at the river, it was clear his intention was to protect his Jungler, Zhou Yan, so that he could get the second buff easily and not be counter-jungled.

After he had placed the ward, he helped Zhou Yan’s Alistar to get the buff to start the match, and then went with Lin Dong’s Urgot to the bottom lane.

…

“Should we buy a Sword of the Occult later? I’m just worried that killing them will not be worth anything.” Xu Ben said as he controlled Sona.

Xu Ben slightly regretted using Sona. The enemy’s Support was Garen, and as a Sona, he would not need to do much.

K was playing as the ADC, and instead of choosing Teemo, he had chosen Ezreal.

Upon hearing Xu Ben’s suggestion, K laughed, “We shouldn’t do that, they’ve come so far from their home to play this match, let’s not destroy their pride.”

“Look, he must have already gone into the bush to try and ambush us. Haha, they are so predictable!”

Sona had placed a ward in the bush as soon as they had gotten into the lane, and the ward was placed right in front of Luocheng.

Luocheng’s reaction speed was exceptionally fast, and as soon as the ward was placed, he used his Q skill to damage the ward.

Sona’s ward was immediately destroyed after Lin Dong’s Urgot followed up.

“Damn, they even know how to destroy wards!” Xu Ben said jokingly.

This time, Xu Ben waited for Garen to leave the bush before placing the ward again.

In response, Luocheng placed a control ward in the bush calmly and immediately disabled Sona’s ward.

Soon after, Sona only had one more ward remaining. Xu Ben was slightly thrilled that the enemy Garen had the brains to disable the ward.

Even so, disabling the ward has no use. After they took control of the lane, they wouldn’t even be able to go near the top part of the bush, how would Garen be able to ambush them?

K was very smart and he waited for the minion wave to fight lower in the lane before he began last hitting.

This time, Xu Ben placed the ward toward the bottom of the bush, wanting to see if Garen would try to destroy the ward again. If he wanted to destroy it, he would have to cross the minion wave and take the bait.

…

“After the next minion, we will reach level three, get ready!” Luocheng focused on Sona, who kept spamming her Q and A skills.

Lin Dong nodded and killed all the minions.

Luocheng smoothly controlled Garen, and while it might seem as though he had no direction and was completely exposed to the enemy’s vision, when the last minion died, he immediately cast his Q skill twice and flashed toward Sona while continuously attempting to use his Q skill.

The Q skill’s damage and silence landed on Sona, and her health was immediately cut in half!

Lin Dong was also not stingy about using his Flash and unleashed his combo! A+E+Q+W+Q, his combo was not even completed by the time Sona had died!

A little over a second!

In the blink of an eye, Sona, who had been running around, was immediately beaten down to the ground!

First Blood!

The first kill of the game!

The first kill had been taken by Team Skycrown, and it was Garen who had gotten the kill!

Suddenly, everyone was shocked.

…

“My friend, why did you not use your Flash? Are you that slow on using your skills??” K snapped back to reality and asked Xu Ben.

“I was Silenced, how could I even Flash! D*mn it, both of them Flashed to kill me. Also, how could Garen have that much damage!? My health was reduced to half with one swing of his sword!” Xu Ben replied.

Garen’s level two Q skill’s damage was abnormally high, and with Sona being only at level two, her health capacity was pitifully low.

In actuality, Garen did not immediately use his Q when he had Flashed to her. Instead, he had used Ignite on her, followed up by his basic attack, and only then, used his Q skill on her. With such speed, the average person would assume that it was a mere Flash and then a Q skill from Garen!

In other words, Xu Ben could not figure out how Garen’s damage could be that high, even if his Q skill could afflict one hundred damage.
