Everyone should have this type of experience when you played LOL, that is to say, when you first start a new account in a new region, for the sake of reaching level 30 fast, you would hurry up and round up the A.I champions and kill them, push middle lane, get experience, and happily move on to the next game.
During this time, you would always look down on the A.I champions in the game as they didn’t need to worry about the abilities of the A.I.
But have you ever experienced such a thing?
That is to be treated as if you were an A.I in the game, being pushed at middle lane all the way into the base at twelve or thirteen minutes of the game?
It took 16 minutes 56 seconds, and their Nexus exploded.
18 to 0, red side 18, blue side 0!
Team Miracle didn’t even get a single kill, assist, or even turret!
When you played an A.I match, there were times where you would accidentally let yourself be killed. However, in a f*cking official preseason match, where the Nexus was taken in 16 minutes without a single death, it was completely merciless!
The moment they lost the match, Team Miracle was completely blown away!
They began to doubt their own self, whether the countless games that they played before this, was it really League of Legends, and whether their Diamond rank was just not even as good as A.I!
The last time they had gone against Team LN, their self esteem and confidence was utterly shredded. At first, they thought that their strength was not very far off from that of a professional team. After being defeated in 18 minutes, they thought they understood how strong the team was and that they were truly weak…
Alright, your Team LN is a preseason seed team, you have your reasons to be strong. However, going against a nameless team in the first round of elimination, they were actually beaten senseless and within 16 minutes to boot!
Seriously, the first thing they needed to do when they got back home was to uninstall this game!
“Uh…Team Skycrown wins, heading into the second round of elimination.” The staff was stunned for a long time before finally reading out the results.
Lin Dong, Da Luo, Wu Sen, Xiao Bei and Zhong Yan all took off their headphones, smiling from ear to ear.
A few people turned their heads, looking at the members of Team Scarlet who had yet to return to their right minds.
Huang Yu, Xiao Dao and Tongtong all looked at the members of Team Skycrown as if they were looking at monsters, and Bin Bin, the one who had talked so much and even looked down on them, was stunned to the point that his jaw was almost touching the ground.
To be able to participate in the competition, the rule was that you needed to be above Platinum rank, but not necessarily Diamond. Coming here for fun was pointless.
Bin Bin could tell that the opponents were not that weak, and if Team Scarlet had gone against them, they would still require at least thirty minutes to finish up the match. Who would have thought that Team Skycrown would wrap up the match in 16 minutes, and even more frightening was that they didn’t even let up a single kill!
This was faster and easier than playing a f*cking A.I match!

Qin Ying was speechless.
He knew that Luocheng had once reached the World Championship, and he knew that his team members were most likely top peak players. After witnessing such a game with his own eyes however, he suddenly felt like all the time he had invested in training Team Scarlet was insignificant.
In short, after watching this match, the only thing that Qin Ying could think was, ‘F*ck, we absolutely cannot be sorted into the same group as Team Skycrown!’
To be honest, any teams who were abused by them to this point would just lose all motivation to even touch this game anymore.
“Luocheng, about our combat practice…I think it’s better to just forget it. When you guys have some time, just let us observe your games…” Qin Ying said as he laughed.
“Sure. Let’s have dinner later then.” Luocheng said.
***
It was evening by the time they had watched some of the matches and explored the mall, and Team Skycrown and Team Scarlet met up for dinner at a nice restaurant.
Luocheng was not needed to be the intermediary and both teams started chatting on their own.
“I see that your abilities are definitely above a third seed professional team, why are you still bothered to enter the preseason qualifiers?” Qin Ying asked.
“We’ve just formed the team two months ago and we’ve been busy training, so we didn’t have the time to join any competitions.” Lin Dong explained.
“Shit, it’s only been two months…this…” Huang Yu was at a loss for words.
Team Scarlet had been formed for almost half a year now, and they had participated in more than a few competitions. Even so, they were not even at Team Skycrown’s level.
“Before they started to play professionally, their individual ranks were already very high.”
“How high? Is it in Ionia? What is your ID, I more or less know majority of the higher ranking players there.” Bin Bin asked hurriedly.
Da Luo had already been annoyed with Bin Bin’s attitude since the beginning, so he asked instead, “What’s yours?”
“I used to have 2,100 points, and now in Diamond 2 Diamond 3.” Bin Bin replied.
“Then you won’t be able to match with me.” Da Luo said.
“Impossible, you’re below 1,800 points?” Bin Bin replied.
“You idiot, he meant that his points are so much higher than yours!” Tongtong growled out exasperatedly.
When ranking with 2,000 points and above, even with a few people queuing, the rank points fluctuation would be around 200 points, but not more than 300 points.
When Da Luo confidently told him that he wouldn’t match with him in rank games, it was plainly saying that his points were above 2,300 points!
In fact, Da Luo’s account in the Ionia Server was at 2,479 points, and the highest he had had was 2,500 points. This was very high in the national rankings!
With such high points, it was a given that he wouldn’t match with 2,100 points…
Having 2,100 points in LOL was already high, and Bin Bin had just dug his own grave, injuring his own self esteem. He lowered his head and ate his food without another word.
He was speechless, and to be honest, he didn’t see how strong Team Skycrown was until he had watched the match. Meeting a stronger team was nothing, but meeting a stronger team and still f*cking acting like some arrogant little shit, there really was no helping himself now!
***
There was no suspense or tension in the first match.
The second match would be held in two days, and Team Skycrown was there on the day. This time, Team Scarlet followed them without hesitation.
From the time they had sat down, configured their computers, and begun the match, it took about 15 minutes.
Until the end of the match, Team Skycrown had only used 30 minutes in total.
17 minutes, Game Over!
The moment the Nexus exploded, Xiao Dao, Huang Yu, and Tongtong all looked at Bin Bin and smiled widely. Bin Bin wordlessly took out 300 yuan from his wallet, giving each of them 100 yuan. He cursed inwardly at this group of insane people, wrapping up two matches consecutively within 20 minutes without a single death! They had also made him lose 300 yuan!
If the first round was passed off as luck, then the second round truly displayed their true strength!
There was only one way to describe this; they had made the impossible possible!
