LPL History

Chapter 116 The Umbrella Emperor and the Giant Dragon Collision Unveil a New Chapter in History; Zhou Lang Quickly Draws His Gun, Rolls Up His Bedding, and Vanishes.
"OMG's four players are moving towards the top lane! But LG is very alert! Lion has retreated to a safe position!"

OMG, we're in a real hurry.

Very urgent.

Although there haven't been many kills during this period.

But Big Mouth keeps growing!

IG practically gave all their economic resources to Kog'Maw.

This makes Big Mouth's development a bit too advanced.

Our Ezreal has only just managed to get a Trinity Force item, and he's still wearing basic boots.

And then look at Big Mouth.

With attack speed boots and Blade of the Ruined King, this time when I go back to base, I'll probably be able to pull out a Guinsoo's Rageblade right away.

It's ahead of a whole major item!
What frustrates OMG the most is that although Kog'Maw is currently doing very well, they are not incapable of winning team fights.

After all, their lineup has so many crowd control abilities that allow them to dive in, and the Renekton is also doing very well.

But no matter how much OMG wanted to fight, they could never find an opportunity.

Logically speaking, since OMG is eager to fight and IG is avoiding it, shouldn't OMG be using this time to control resources and gain an economic advantage?
The result was that IG's economy consistently led OMG's.

The main reason for this result is that IG's discipline was just too good under Zhou Li's command!
He told you to retreat and not to farm the lane, but you dared to farm it?
Zhou Li opened his mouth and immediately began offering friendly greetings, without stopping for a moment.

Moreover, given Zhou Li's demonstrated abilities, PDD and others had no choice but to acknowledge his superiority.

Furthermore, OMG often operates as a four-person team, attempting to capture and kill Zhou Li's big mouth.

But they always ended up empty-handed.

This pointless coordinated action caused OMG to lose a lot of money, but it also gave other members of IG a chance to develop.

OMG's early-game lineup failed to gain an advantage in the early game and couldn't fight in the mid-game, so all that awaited them was a slow death.

They had a very difficult time playing.

But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

It's like having ants crawling all over your body; you can't catch them, and you can't kill them.

At that time, OMG didn't have much of a concept of operations.

Zhou Li completely outmaneuvered OMG simply by using vision control and lane switching.

Even Zhou Li himself was moved while giving instructions.

"IG plays a macro-management style... is that right?!"

The match has reached the 23rd minute.

Zhou Li, who had achieved a terrifying 250 kills, pulled out the Merry Bloodbreaker Gloves from his crotch.

With the three-piece set in hand and both summoner spells active, Zhou Li pointed to the mid lane and said:

"Come on, let's push it in the middle."

OMG was eager to engage in a team fight with IG, and upon seeing IG group up in the mid lane, they immediately rushed over.

At this point, OMG's second mid-lane tower had already lost half its health.

Yuzi's Centaur wandered around the jungle, only to find that it was entirely within IG's vision range, forcing him to abandon his attempt to flank.

Seeing Big Mouth step forward to attack the tower, Yuzu shouted:

"Can it be opened? Can it be opened?!"

"Go, go, go! I can keep up!"

"Just kill Kog'Maw, if Kog'Maw dies they won't have any damage output!"

Yuzu used his E skill while keeping an eye on the enemy's vision, followed by Flash and R, trying to force an engagement on Kog'Maw!

Morgana immediately cast a magic immunity shield on Kog'Maw, preventing him from being feared by Hecarim's ultimate.

But Yuzu wasn't too surprised.

Since Centaur's ultimate ability isn't very fast, it would be truly surprising if he couldn't react to it.

So from the beginning, his idea wasn't to use Centaur Warrunner's ultimate ability to scare Kog'Maw.

It's because Hecarim's ultimate deals AP damage!

Enough to shatter Morgana's magical shield in an instant!

His ultimate position is behind Kog'Maw, allowing him to kick Kog'Maw directly into his own team's formation!
But Zhou Li reacted incredibly quickly. As soon as he saw the location of Hecarim's ultimate, he knew what Hecarim was going to do and immediately used Flash.

This caused the centaur to push the big mouth even further away!

“Duck neck dragon leaves W”.

In the IG voice chat, Zhou Li's voice rang out softly, causing Sun Yalong, who was about to turn the centaur into a sheep, to subconsciously stop.

Although Kog'Maw's fragile body only took off a third of its health from Hecarim's kick and Q, Hecarim had already used all of his key skills. In front of Kog'Maw with three items, Hecarim was not a threat at all.

Leona's E skill targeted Vi, who was positioned in front. Renekton also used a minion's E to move forward and engage Vi in combat.

However, both of them tacitly reserved their key skills, keeping their eyes fixed on the large mouth not far away.

Lingyao seized the opportunity and unleashed her ultimate move, targeting only Big Mouth!
"Big Mouth got hit by the Sun Maiden's ultimate—Purify instantly removed!!"

Seeing that Kog'Maw was controlled, gogoing decisively used his second E and Flash, intending to use his Red Fury W to instantly kill Kog'Maw!

However, Kog'Maw instantly cleansed away the control effect and retreated immediately, leaving Renekton in an awkward position where he was still a body length behind Kog'Maw after Flash.

"The duck-necked dragon turns into a sheep."

Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, Sun Yalong immediately transformed the crocodile into a sheep.

Morgana's Q skill followed, which kept the crocodile in place before she activated her ultimate!

Zhou Li activated his W ability and began a counterattack against the crocodile!

"PDD, keep an eye on Karthus, don't let him get in the game."

"Shadow, hold off EZ for a bit, save your ultimate!"

Zhou Li's calm and collected voice rang out in the voice chat, but his hands didn't stop moving. While pulling back, he was attacking the crocodile with a frenzy!

Seeing his front line being held back, Wu-Zhuang-Tai immediately used Flash to push in, wanting to coordinate with Hecarim's damage to force Kog'Maw to his death.

After all, Kog'Maw no longer has Flash and Cleanse, so this might be the best opportunity yet.

"Shadow, Death Song!"

Seeing Vi's ultimate ability flying towards him, Wu-Zhuangtai couldn't help but swear.

"Damn it, why is he only at Jiaotong University now?!"

OMG has put almost all of its skills into targeting Kog'Maw.

However, it is clear that this team fight was not initiated well!

As Morgana's control ended, the crocodile was already dead!

Even if gogoing is well-developed, he can't withstand the damage output of a three-item Kog'Maw during the five-second control period by Lulu and Morgana.

With the most threatening crocodile dealt with, the semi-tanky centaur is no threat at all.

Zhou Li immediately started shaking his head.

Even when facing a Centaur with extremely high movement speed, shaking your head won't create any distance.

However, as an ADC, it would seem rather dull to stand still and output damage.

Furthermore, the direction of the Zhou rituals was not backward, but forward.

The centaur was still on his face, but he was already planning who to kill next.

Miller was still exclaiming in surprise from the commentary booth!
"OMG, they tried to force a fight with Kog'Maw, but it's obvious that Kog'Maw was already prepared! That Flash and Cleanse were so fast that they completely disrupted OMG's team fight rhythm!"

"The centaurs are about to collapse! Now, it looks like Lion is about to start reaping the rewards!!"

In the live stream, Da Kog'Maw's Guinsoo's Rageblade was already stacked up. After killing Hecarim, Zhou Li immediately shifted his damage output to Karthus.

Triple Kill!!

"Control him! Control him!!"

In the OMG voice chat, Wuzhuangtai shouted anxiously.

Kog'Maw's health is currently less than half. If Leona can control Kog'Maw, and then use two mines followed by her ultimate, Kog'Maw will definitely die!
If he can secure the bounty on Big Mouth, then he'll take off in this game!

Upon hearing Wuzhuang's words, Lingyao broke out in a cold sweat.

Kog'Maw almost completely blocked the range of his E skill!

In desperation, Lingyao had no choice but to take a gamble and directly used Flash + E.

The air right next to Big Mouth!
"Holy crap! That footwork was so flashy!"

Kog'Maw stood within Karthus's E skill range, seemingly dancing, and while unleashing a barrage of attacks on Leona, he flawlessly dodged every single one of Karthus's Qs!

[Quadra kill!!]

"Quadra kill! Kog'Maw got a quadra kill! Penta kill, please?! Ezreal! He got hit by Kog'Maw's ultimate! Another one! This one's too late, he has to reposition! But Kog'Maw has already caught up!!"

【Penta Kil!!】

【ACE!】

"Wow! My God!!!"

The doll shouted exaggeratedly.

"What's going on?! Kog'Maw got a pentakill and wiped out OMG!! That damage output is terrifying, he melted Ezreal in just two hits!!"

Miller also shouted excitedly:
"Wow! Who would have thought that Lion, making his professional debut, would get a pentakill in his very first game?! IG! Are they treating OMG like they're Japanese?! I really don't believe Lion hasn't played a single ranked game!"

The live stream chat was filled with question marks.

Many netizens even went to Kid's Weibo to ask him questions.

Kid held his phone, his feelings a mix of emotions.

Watching Zhou Li wreak havoc in the match, Kid was completely bewildered.

This guy is amazing!

So what should he do?!

I should have tried to stop him from playing!

Seeing that his Weibo was full of netizens asking about Zhou Li, Kid felt a little uncomfortable.

[Damn, IG has such an amazing AD carry, why didn't they use him earlier? If they'd let Lion play in S2, they might have won the championship.]

[Why not Lion earlier? He would have qualified for the Spring Split much sooner.] [Kid, have you really never played ranked Lion?]

Kid was furious when he saw the comments and replied.

[(Laughing loudly) Not only has he never played ranked games, he doesn't even have League of Legends on his computer.]

This is too fake.

[What's fake about him? This guy plays Blade & Soul at the club every day.]

[Is this for real, Kid? Could it be that he was switched and is deliberately smearing us out of spite?]

[Forget about the food, you also have such a small appetite.]

[I'm dying of laughter, Kid is a real clown.]

Seeing that netizens didn't believe in him and even mocked him in various sarcastic ways, Kid gradually became more and more popular.

【I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, I'll go back to the club and turn on his computer to show you.】

The response to kid was a barrage of comments like "Hahaha, clown!"

The match was nearing its end.

After IG wiped out OMG, they immediately pushed down OMG's mid-lane inhibitor.

After returning to base to replenish supplies, they chose to go and fight Baron Nashor.

OMG knew they had little hope in this game, so they were determined to force a team fight.

The two sides clashed at the Dragon Pit, and Zhou Li's big mouth transformed into a human-shaped self-propelled spitting machine.

He insults his opponents in the game and his teammates in voice chat.

They secured another quadra kill, completely ending the game.

OMG player bench.

Umbrella King sat blankly in front of the computer screen, staring at his 0-6-2 score and lost in confusion.

He always felt that even if he wasn't the top ADC, he was still a first-class player.

However, today's match made him question his existence.

Weird support?
No matter what, that medicine is definitely better than Sun Yalong from IG!

Then the problem is coming.

Your team's support is greater than the enemy's support.

However, their own bottom lane collapsed.

Whose responsibility is it?

Whenever he saw the enemy's big mouth facing the encirclement of three or four of his own, yet always managing to find a glimmer of hope in the crisis, and then smoothly kiting and dealing maximum damage, Umbrella King couldn't help but think, isn't this exactly how he dreamed of himself?
The ADC position is like walking on a tightrope.

If you play it safe, you won't be able to deal damage.

Too hasty, and it's easy to melt away.

As an ADC himself, Umbrella felt that the Lion on the other side had taken the art of tightrope walking to its extreme.

Every move he made looked like it was full of flaws.

But once you step forward, you'll find that it's a trap he set for you in advance.

Gogoing thought he had found an opportunity several times and tried to forcefully cut down Kog'Maw.

The result was always a hair's breadth off!

When Lion moves, he always gives you the illusion that you can touch him, but you can't actually touch him.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be—flirtatious.

He might let you smell him, but when you get close, he'll just spit in your face.

IG player seat.

Seeing OMG's base reduced to dust, the first to jump out was not Victory, but Shi Ji.

Zhou Li looked at the Records of the Grand Historian and saw that it was written there—

[The Umbrella King was a native of Zibo in the Qi region. He was not exceptionally gifted, yet he was diligent in his studies, never slacking off. Later, when a divine being descended to earth, he lost his position as head of the household and was relegated to a secondary role. People sighed, saying: "Diligence bestowed by heaven is like dust and dew gazing at Mount Tai—its effect is negligible! However, everyone has their weaknesses and strengths. A deficiency in theatrical skills can be compensated for by a strength in other areas, but this strength is difficult to explain to others."]

[Umbrella King, from Zibo. His talent isn't outstanding, but he's incredibly hardworking. Later, when God joined OMG, Umbrella King could only become a substitute. Although his talent in the game is average, Umbrella King's strengths lie in a unique way that's hard for ordinary people to explain.]

[Unlocked Character (Umbrella King) - Ability Acquired: Baron Nashor. Graves Mastery Level Reached Perfect.]

[Baron Nashor: When near the Baron pit, all attributes such as hand speed, reaction time, and awareness are increased by 10%.]

Zhou Li stared blankly at the Records of the Grand Historian for a moment.

I subconsciously looked up at the Umbrella King across from me.

The other person was standing up and pulling up their pants.

That damn dragon!
IG lounge.

"Wow, Zhou Li is a real freak. Does he play Blade & Soul in front of us during the day, secretly download League of Legends to train at night, and then uninstall League of Legends during the day?"

Zhou Li has disappeared to who knows what.

At this moment, PDD is having a carefree discussion with his teammates in the lounge.

This person's performance in the last game completely defied their common sense.

After all, they weren't strangers.

This guy is either playing Blade & Soul at the club or playing cards every day.

I've never seen him play League of Legends.

There aren't even any games on my computer!
After thinking for a moment, she spoke in a soft voice:
"Hmm, maybe he's just that kind of genius?"

Sun Yalong frowned and racked his brains, but couldn't come up with a solution.

"I don't understand, but how can I explain it now?"

Everyone fell silent again.

They naturally understood that Sun Yalong was implying something.

KID noticed the expressions on everyone's faces and became a little anxious.

"You won't regret this, will you?"

PDD scratched his head.

"Wow, bro, I'm so conflicted right now. Seriously, playing against this guy is so easy, you don't even need to think, you just get carried to victory. Even though my laning phase was a bit awful, the team fights were really enjoyable."

Sun Yalong nodded.

"This guy may have a foul mouth and act like a weirdo, but he's actually got some skills. If he were willing to play in a competition..."

The shadow spoke:

"He volunteered to play this time so that he could stay with our club. After all, he knows that you two went to rebel before."

Shadow's words were clearly accepted by everyone.

PDD nodded.

"Then how about we just let this go? But no way, I'm not going to let him get away with that woman and dog sign anymore. I'll never forgive him in my life."

Sun Yalong also spoke up:

"Let's find an opportunity to have a proper talk after the match. If he's willing to apologize to us, we can let him stay."

Everyone nodded, only Zita asked with a puzzled look:
"Speaking of which, where did he go?"

PDD glanced at the time.

"Wow, this is amazing! It's starting in five minutes. Sun Yalong, do you have his phone number?"

Sun Yalong shook his head.

PDD then looked at Zitai and the others.

Everyone shook their heads.

"what to do?!"

At this moment, Zhu Kai, who had been standing in the corner, walked over and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Um, Brother Zhou has already left."

Everyone present was stunned.

"gone?"

“Yes,” Zhu Kai nodded. “He said Kid should play in the next game. He’s a little tired and is going back to sleep.”

The faces of the IG members instantly darkened.

Only the children laughed happily like children.

OMG was probably stunned by Zhou Li in the second game.

As a result, he was somewhat out of sorts in the third game.

After a hard-fought 40-minute battle, IG narrowly secured victory and advanced to the LPL Spring Split.

After the match, KID excitedly shared his amazing plays with his teammates.

This arrogant yet insecure AD player didn't notice that the IG players didn't seem to want to listen to his rambling.

They only miss that game played according to the Zhou Dynasty's rules.

Meanwhile, Zhou Li had already returned to the IG club.

He looked at his desk, where a document was laid out.

Before the match, he received a call from IG's management, who said that he had been dismissed because he had abused his power and led the players astray.

The reason he rushed back so early was that he had already achieved his goal for his debut.

Secondly, he returned as soon as possible to sign the dismissal compensation agreement.

Sun Yalong is such a fucking incompetent bastard.

If he stays with IG to play professionally, he's afraid he won't be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but will instead end up in a legal drama.

After signing the agreement, Zhou Li left the IG club with his backpack on.

As Zhou Li walked out of the club, he turned back, pulled out the sign that read "Women and dogs not allowed," and stuffed it into his backpack.

The third update is still being written...
