Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Normally, after a match, the crowd would dissipate normally. This time however, the spectators stared at the screen in a daze for a long time.

The whole of Team Sky just sat on their chairs, utterly dumbfounded.

They had lost. They had actually lost!

And this time, it felt the worst. Their pride had been trampled on, and now, it was as if they couldn’t get up from their chairs anymore.

They were LPL’s strongest team, and their full strength was ranked number two. They were never scared of anyone before, but after today, would they have the willpower to say this again?

Even if Blood Eagle was not here, how would they explain getting killed one hundred times!?

If they had known about this earlier, they would not have tried to even initiate a comeback and instead, surrendered at the twenty-minute mark. If they had, they would not be embarrassed.

…

After the match, the five members of Team Skycrown finally stood up.

A sudden wave of cheers and shouts echoed through the venue, all of them were directed toward Team Skycrown.

They won. They had finally won miraculously with one hundred kills!

They had done whatever they needed to do!

The thing was, no one in the audience knew that this would be the last time Team Skycrown would be participating in the LPL.

To use the most eye-catching way as a finale!

Zhou Yan, Da Luo, Wu Sen, and Lin Dong, all looked toward Luocheng.

With the match over, they had lost their direction.

They had spent so much time, blood, sweat, and tears, to prepare for the LPL and even try to go to the nationals. After everything that had happened, none of them wanted to face this bloodied mess anymore.

How hard would this path actually be?

“Are you okay?”

Zhou Yan stood next to Luocheng and patted his shoulder.

Zhou Yan knew what Luocheng was going through right now. He had already been worried when he saw that Luocheng’s expression had changed.

“I’m alright, everything is under control.” Luocheng shook his head.

After this initiation, Luocheng felt as though he had had a change of heart.

At first, he had left his house entirely because he was too engrossed in gaming. The person he was before had been too engrossed,which was why he did what he did.

He had left the competitive scene to allow himself to leave this dream. After coming back to reality, he had found out that the only thing left in his mind was gaming. With some time to think, he finally found out what he wanted in his life, and his life finally gained meaning.

“Bro, look over there!” Suddenly, Da Luo pointed toward the resting area.

The five members of Team Skycrown looked over and saw that a few people with authority over the competition had appeared before Xu Pingyang.

Even if they could not hear what they were talking about, after seeing Xu Pingyang’s panicked face, it was obvious that he was trying to give an explanation.

“I hacked into the public safety system and prepared evidence of the messages and changes of violation on Xiao Bei.” Lin Dong said.

Zhou Yan immediately became worried. “Lin Dong, why are you so reckless? Are you not afraid of being sent to jail?”

“Don’t worry. This time, I did it without leaving any traces. The competition organizers should have gone to the police.” Lin Dong said.

…

After walking backstage, Ai Ke suddenly walked out from the resting area. He had seen the five members of Team Skycrown walking toward him.

“We are already investigating with the police. Furthermore, Xiao Bei’s status has been returned to being an LPL player. His name will be recorded in our LPL database, this is all we can do for now.” Ai Ke said.

“He should be going to jail!” Lin Dong grit his teeth.

“It all depends on the police. No matter what, Xu Pingyang has violated our competition rules and we will immediately revoke Team Sky’s rights to enter the competition. Also, we are thinking of giving you back the right to participate in LPL’s matches. We have two choices now. The first choice is to forever ban Team Sky from participating in the LPL, and they will never be able to play in the LPL again. At the same time, your team will also lose the right to join the LPL. It is a fact that at the start, the identity of Xiao Bei was indeed unidentified. If we investigate further, it will not be beneficial to you either. The other choice is to remove both of your teams from this year’s LPL. That way, next year, both of your teams will be able to participate.” Ai Ke said.

All eyes were focused on Luocheng, hoping that he would make a decision.

“The second choice.” Luocheng confirmed.

The LPL was the only way for them to enter the nationals, they had to get back their right to enter.

“Besides that, All-Star will be starting soon, and you will be put on the waiting list. Following your performance today, the All-Star ADC should be between you, Bai Feng, and Asmodai. If it is possible, I hope that you will consider joining the competition in Los Angeles.” Ai Ke said in complete seriousness.

“What is All-Star?” Lee Meiqi asked.

“The All-Star competition is organized once every year. It is participated by China, South East Asia, Korea, North America, and Europe. You could say that this is a competition at the top of the LOL player base and is watched by millions of people.” Xi Xi replied.

Ai Ke and Xi Xi both hoped for Luocheng to participate in the All-Star match. His skills were remarkable, and his level was already much higher than a mere LPL player. If the Fighting Hawk were to represent the All-Star team for China, the other countries would surely be jealous.

Yet again, all eyes were on Luocheng.

Who would have thought that after just two LPL matches, Luocheng would be recognized as a player suited to play in the All-Star match? This was a great honor as there were many ADC players that would kill to get that spot!

“Never mind, I don’t have any plans to go overseas anytime soon.” Luocheng shook his head.

HUH!?

After hearing Luocheng’s answer, Xi Xi’s jaw dropped to the floor!

This was the All-Star match! The competition organizers would cover the full expenses to Los Angeles! How many millionaires and rich people would be sponsoring this trip overseas, and it was even to be broadcasted all over the world!? This was unbelievable!

Ai Ke had already revealed what he was here for, and if Luocheng nodded his head, the spot would be his. He definitely had the qualities to become the top in the gaming scene.

Zhou Yan, Da Luo, Wu Sen and Lin Dong, all turned to look at Luocheng, puzzled. They didn’t understand why Luocheng was giving up this amazing opportunity.

It could not be possible that Xiao Bei’s incident was the reason for him not going, Xiao Bei himself would very much hope for Luocheng to go too!

“I will bring my own team to the international league.” Luocheng said.

Many years ago, he had brought Team Wings to the international league and had made history.

Now, he would do it again. It didn’t matter if anyone was standing in their way!

How would they do it?

No, Team Skycrown had a very clear objective in mind. They had chosen their path a long time ago. The entirety of Team Skycrown was not strong enough. Their teamwork was not as solid as other teams, and their strategies were not completely foolproof!

Also, they would definitely not be satisfied by just defeating the LPL teams, their target was the internationals!

If they couldn’t do it this year, they would definitely obtain it next year!

“I believe that you can do it. Even if you can’t participate in the LPL, there are still many tier-two competitions. There, no one can stop you from obtaining your objective.” Ai Ke nodded.

It seemed to him that it was already a paved pathway for him to go through.

Since he was planning to enter the internationals, Ai Ke, as an organizer for the LOL championship, would definitely look forward to it. He looked forward to seeing someone who would bring the nation glory and show everyone else what China was made of!

…

Upon walking out of the competition area, a beautiful sunset was awaiting them.

Orange rays of light shone on Team Skycrown’s members.

Lin Dong, Zhou Yan, Da Luo, Wu Sen, Luocheng, Lee Meiqi, and Jian Feng. This team consisted of a total of seven people.

They took off their white headbands and dropped it on the ground.

No sponsors, no prizes from the competition, no more training grounds, and they had even gotten their rights to this year’s LPL revoked.

This time, they really had nothing left.

However, Da Luo, Zhou Yan, Wu Sen, and Lin Dong, didn’t feel as lost as they did before.

This was because of what Luocheng had just said.

“I will bring my own team to the international league!”

This simple sentence had all four of them pumped!

Standing at the top of the world, how long would that take? But even so, it seemed to be getting closer and closer. Even if they had nothing right now, they had Luocheng’s unwavering trust.

They believed in Luocheng, it was as if he was the soul of their team. He had reached those heights before, standing on top of everyone else, being the best of the best in the gaming world. After a long period of internal debates, he had become more mature, and he would definitely become stronger. That world champion position that they hadn’t gotten yet wasn’t just engraved in Luocheng’s heart, it was also engraved in all of their hearts as well!

It was okay, even if they lost everything, it would still be okay.

If they had the willpower and not bow down to their fate, whatever it was that belonged to them would be obtained eventually, and they might even go higher!

Looking back at the crowded place of the competition, the team waved their hands as a goodbye to Xiao Bei, and also to say goodbye to LPL.

Next year, they would definitely appear at this competition once again!

At that time, whether it was Team Sky or Team Daemons, no one would be able to stop them in their tracks!
