Chapter 333: The Unbeatable Top, Jax!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once the next Q cooled down, the Grandmaster At Arms waved his staff as he jumped up, landing a heavy hit on the back of Renekton’s head.

Empower’s effect activated, dealing a massive amount of damage!

Renekton’s W was ready and he was about to bite down with his jaws, but he was still too slow and a basic attack from Jax took away that last bit of his remaining health.

A kill!

With his greater understanding of Jax’s strength and skills, as well as his confidence in Jax’s passive, Da Luo managed to secure an amazing solo kill at the bottom lane!

Being able to enter the LPL meant that you would already have played countless games for a single role. You would definitely be well-versed on everything from your champion’s weaknesses and when to initiate, to your opponent’s weaknesses and when they would initiate.

Vulcan’s Renekton was considered to be invincible. No other ranked player could even come close to shaking his position, much less a Jax who is naturally at a disadvantage against him…

What he didn’t expect was for Jax to be able to solo kill him without even getting his items up yet!

It was an earth-shattering miracle that an experienced veteran Top like him got solo killed while he was using his best champion—Renekton.

Jax was a snowball champion. Once you let him get his items up, that was it. There would be no room for you to negotiate at all!

“Jax has actually solo killed Vulcan’s Renekton, this is really out of all our expectations!” Hei Hei hurriedly exclaimed, snapping out his shock.

The replay was also quick to catch up, showing the process of Da Luo’s solo kill on Vulcan’s Renekton.

Vulcan’s Renekton had always been a bully at the top lane. Only Team 71’s Forgetful Laughter and Team Daemons’ Charon could beat the sh*t out of him. Da Luo’s aggressive and courageous solo kill shocked the entire audience!

Hei Hei mused, speaking into the microphone, “Team Skycrown’s performance and strength has really surprised us, any other team would have already been wrecked.”

“It’s also because Blood Eagle is not here.”

***

After Vulcan saw that Jax had bought Trinity Force, he glanced at his own Sunfire Cape and some scattered items…

It was obvious he would not be able to win if he continued to fight like this against Jax.

Da Luo’s play style was very aggressive. Once Renekton came into lane, Jax would jump forward to beat him up as if he was nothing more than a disobedient child.

And it wasn’t like Da Luo was sure that he could score a kill. He would just throw a bunch of skills, then retreat to the back of the minion wave to continue farming. He would wait until his opponent came forward to farm before jumping at him again with a bunch of skills. With the time was right, he would use Bilgewater Cutlass to slow down his opponent and secure the kill.

In such an obvious situation where he couldn’t possibly win, Vulcan was forced to have his teammates camp his lane.

With Birch, Team Sky’s Jungler, now appearing often at the bottom lane, the pressure Lin Dong was feeling at the middle lane was relieved by quite a bit.

In fact, if he hadn’t picked a flexible champion like Ezreal, he would be completely run over by now. Birch only had one objective, and that was to help Xie Yi grow fast and mow down the middle lane.

Birch didn’t really go to the top lane because Vulcan didn’t normally need help when he was using Renekton. Vulcan was usually able to control the situation so well that he could even 1v2 with no problems.

Who would have expected that his number one Renekton would be completely overtaken and beaten to this point? It was such a surprise!

***

“Jarvan incoming… wah, Jax didn’t even bother running and immediately activated his Counter Attack. Is this where he kills Jarvan?” Hei Hei exclaimed, surprise evident on his face as he watched.

Facing off against Renekton and Jarvan, Da Luo’s universe broke completely. Throwing an Ignite onto Jarvan, and then activating his ulti to launch a fierce assault on him, he completely ignored Renekton who was dashing to and fro!

“This Jax can’t be shaken off at all! He keeps sticking onto Jarvan, so cruel!” said Xi Ling.

The whole arena was now in an uproar!

He even dared to 1v2, was he trying to die?! Was he even aware of which team his opponent was from?

Even if Blood Eagle wasn’t here, Team Revelation was still a formidable opponent. Jarvan came to gank his lane, but why did it feel like the other way around instead?

Da Luo’s thinking was very simple. With no Flash, he could only use his Q to escape. After Jarvan used his EQ, he would still have his ulti which could be used to completely subdue Da Luo’s movements. Trying to escape was pointless.

So, since he couldn’t escape, then he may as well just make the most of it. It would be difficult to hit Renekton who still had his ulti, but Jarvan was more brittle than him.

After countering with a bunch of skills, Birch suddenly realized how terrifying the damage of a Jax with Trinity Force was. He had already used his Flash while he was harassing the middle lane earlier and now had no way to run!

The kill barely took a few seconds. Watching as Jarvan ran under the turret to escape, Da Luo didn’t hesitate and dived the tower to secure the kill on Jarvan.

“Wow… Team Skycrown’s Lone Gull is very aggressive. After taking Jarvan’s head, he still managed to take a minion before dying,” said Hei Hei, stunned.

Normally this scene would be caused by Team Sky as they used Renekton’s powerful abilities to go against their opponent’s Top and Jungler.

But now, it was Vulcan experiencing the feeling of being beaten up like this!

***

Twice in a row, Da Luo exchanged his life with the Jungler. Although Renekton’s items have been built up, it still couldn’t compare to Jax who had longer health and better equipment.

And while they were busy at the bottom lane, Lin Dong managed to farm nicely at the middle lane. With Zhou Yan’s Flash on Volibear and a fling from him, they managed to take out the middle lane’s boss—Xie Yi!

After killing off Xie Yi, Lin Dong and Zhou Yan pushed the middle lane. Even without the minions, Zhou Yan was able to tank the turret damage and they took it down together.

Team Skycrown’s concept of demolishing turret was strong. Even after killing a champion and having so little health left, they didn’t retreat to base. They would wisely use the time while their opponent was dead to push the minion wave, as well as crush the defense line and demolish the turret.

***

“Oh oh oh, Jarvan was careless for just one second and our Renekton has been solo killed!” exclaimed Hei Hei, once again surprised.

Ganking twice in a row, and this Jax was still not being annihilated at all. When Jarvan went to the top lane to camp for the duo there, a commotion suddenly broke out at the bottom lane.

Vulcan’s face was already looking so sour!

How would he as the strongest Renekton show his face in the LPL circle after getting beat to a pulp like this by a Jax?

“Looks like we can already declare who the strongest is. This Jax is really invincible! Now that Vulcan’s hands are tied while facing him, I’m seriously curious about how Forgetful Laughter would fare against this Jax,” said Hei Hei.

Forgetful Laughter heard the comment made by Hei Hei from backstage. The Jungler for Team 7, Double Seven, was beside him and he glanced at the strongest Top player.

Forgetful Laughter shrugged, grinning with a row of white teeth as he said, “When I was ranking and if I got first floor against Lone Gull, I would immediately ban Jax.”

“Is his Jax really so aggressive or is it Vulcan who’s being stupid today?” asked Double Seven.

“Hmm… I remember the few times we played, I would crush his Jax in the early stages. But in the later game, he was the one wrecking me instead. You can call it a tie,” said Forgetful Laughter.

“No way, there’s actually someone who can draw with you at the top lane?”

Forgetful Laughter was invincible at the top lane and someone managed to tie with him? It was hard to imagine that possibility within China, it was just impossible.

“Yeah, before he completed his Trinity Force,” explained Forgetful Laughter.

Double Seven stumbled at that. This guy’s Jax could already tie with Forgetful Laughter before his Trinity Force was complete??

Trinity Force was a god-tier item. No matter which champion you use, you can’t go wrong by buying it!

Trinity Force’s effect and performance had been buffed a lot, letting a falling-behind champion like Ezreal get popular again. It allowed Jax to be invincible at the top lane and made Corki a force to be reckoned with at the bottom lane.

Forgetful Laughter continued, “Anyway, I think that Vulcan was aware that Lone Gull’s Jax is invincible and he still didn’t ban it. That was already a stupid move there.”

***

Invincible Jax!

Everyone had their own destined champion and those who managed to find theirs were likely to continuously score in the game. From Platinum to Diamond, and from Diamond to Challenger.

Da Luo’s destined champion was none other than Jax!

He had been using this champion for far too long and had even achieved his most glorious 24-win streak with it.

Playing as Jax, Da Luo was confident enough to wreck any top laner in the country, including the strongest Top—Forgetful Laughter.

Burning with ever-building resentment towards Team Sky, Da Luo had used Jax since the beginning of the game to release his pent-up anger.

One Renekton wasn’t enough to quell his rage, bring on the Jungler too! If they dared to come for him, then he would kill them without a care!

***

With one kill after another and one counter gank after another on the Jungler, the entire arena was once again in an uproar.

Jax was often picked in amateur games, but how many times would you see this pick in a peak professional league?

Why was Team Skycrown so insane?

In the beginning, the newly formed Team Skycrown had not been looked upon favourably in the LPL. Countless people were just waiting to laugh when they were inevitably knocked off their high horses.

No one expected this team to have such unlimited potential.

It all started with a sixteen-year-old ADC who had extremely good hand coordination, and even managed to defeat Team Stardust who was known as the King of Instant Kills.

This was followed up by the appearance of their amazing coach who went against and defeated Bai Feng, the strongest ADC in the country. Then came their straight wins against Team Revelation, one of the top four teams.

Now, Team Skycrown’s Top was also standing out brilliantly. The country’s strongest Renekton that even Forgetful Laughter somewhat struggled with was directly killed by this fierce Top!

Where did this bunch of monsters known as Team Skycrown come from?

You would always hear how strong and great the top LPL teams were, but why is it that they didn’t seem to be all that now that Team Skycrown had appeared?

If you say that Team Sky was a team that relied on promotion and hype to get to where they are, then why was it that other teams have not been able to shake their position for so long?

The only possible explanation was that every single member of Team Skycrown was incredibly strong!
