James and Bond couldn’t be more upset.
Usually, they were the ones tormenting pub players in a ranked game and getting bored with the one-sided game.
It was rare to have so many university students come visiting like today and they had even dressed up nicely…
The ideal scenario was supposed to be as follows: The two of them would be standing gallantly on a cliff as they looked down on two noisy challengers. They would smile calmly and turn back to their disciples to say the following, “Let us show you what it means to be truly skilled…”
The reality was that they had jumped down the cliff and were tripped on the way down. Subsequently, the two not-so-handsome “masters” had been beaten up mercilessly by the arrogant enemies, leaving the disciples stunned above the cliff…
‘Why does this embarrassing defeat have to occur today?’
Well, what can you do when fate has decided to play a prank on you?
***
Two kills previously and three kills this turn, Caitlyn’s kill lead had just extended to five headcounts.
Shen peered at Nami and Draven helplessly after they had all revived together in the fountain. The Shen’s player probably had the urge to exit the game immediately using Alt-Tab.
“Bai Feng, these two are very good. They are no ordinary players,” One of the youth team members observing at the back had spoken.
“Yes, I can tell,” Bai Feng nodded.
“What’s their ID? Let me check their past results,” The youth team member named Huang Kong asked.
“Thresh’s ID is F-Hawk, while Caitlyn’s is Shallow Dream,” James answered.
Watching the sudden turn of events, the students also began to converse in a low voice.
“Shaoying, you are also among the top-class in the Ionia region, right? Have you seen these two IDs before?” A girl asked.
Ke Shaoying shook his head.
“Could they be secondary accounts of players from some famous team?”
“I bet they are, judging from how excellent they have played so far.”
They had witnessed the strength of James and Bond before, who shouldn’t have crumbled like this no matter how subpar their performances were today.
“Eh, that’s weird…” As everyone was busy gossiping, Huang Kong interjected in a voice full of doubt.
“What’s the matter?” Bai Feng asked.
“Bai Feng, come over here. They did not queue for this game together!” Huang Kong pointed to his own computer. It was currently showing the battle history and past results of the two players.
Bai Feng walked up and was surprised to find that Thresh and Caitlyn were actually opponents in the match before this one.
“They did not queue together?” James and Bond’s eyes almost popped out from their socket.
‘Bullshit! This is absurd!’
This discovery was like spraying salt on their bleeding wounds.
Impromptu and long term co-op at the bottom lane were the ends of two extremes. Once, a group of analysts had pitted ADCs and SPs from separate professional teams against weaker opponents that had been paired up for a longer time. As a result, the former group had lost miserably…
This proved that tacit understanding and long term cooperation between the SP and ADC played a vital role in dominance at the bottom lane.
James had teamed up with Bond at the bottom lane for a very long time. Hence, both of them had assumed that the opponents must have been the subsidiary accounts that belonged to players from a first-class team. To their shock, F-Hawk and Shallow Dream were not even in-game friends. In other words, they had been raped by two pub players that were working together for the very first time!!
Bai Feng’s expression finally turned solemn.
“Gosh, this Shallow Dream is unreal!!” Suddenly, Huang Kong who had been checking the battle history exclaimed.
His voice echoed around the small room for a few minutes and the students couldn’t help but rush over to him.

“What’s that? What have you found?” James and Bond had given up on the game entirely. They, too, left their computer seats and approached Huang Kong.
“Check this out!” Huang Kong pulled out the LOL box. In it was every game Shallow Dream had played recently.
Normally, players who had reached 2000 League Points took thousands of matches. Only accounts that reached 2000 points within hundreds of games could potentially be a subsidiary account.
However, this player named Shallow Dream had only played twenty games in total.
Twenty games with all of them undefeated!
There were only two pages of ranked games and the results were all in green, meaning that she had won every game so far.
The entire room was in awe!
“How… How is this possible?!”
“Twenty games to reach 2000 points? Is she cheating?”
“Nonsense. How are you going to cheat the LOL system?”
Huang Kong, James, and Bond peered at the screen closely for a long time. They had nothing to say upon seeing the two pages full of green outcomes.
Solo queue twenty win-streak. It was close to impossible in the Ionia region at this stage.
This was because even professional gamers could not avoid meeting feeders, AFK teammates, or trolls. Moreover, the entire Ionia region was occupied by boosters, subsidiary accounts or even official accounts of pro players. The competition in this region was pretty steep, thus, to have a long win-streak here not only required overpowering skills, but also unthinkable fortune!
“Bai Feng…” Huang Kong, James, and Bond stared at Bai Feng.
The other students were also looking at the professional ADC. They wished to know whether it was really possible to reach 2000 League Points after only twenty games.
Bai Feng fell into his own train of thought and did not say anything. He finally opened his mouth when he realized everyone was staring at him looking for an explanation, “For a brand new account, each win would grant 40 points. Besides, a win-streak itself also gives extra points. Although I have not tested this theory before, I did hear that 2000 points are attainable if one is unbeaten for twenty straight games. To be precise, it actually sums up to 2100 points.”
Bai Feng’s words blew everyone’s minds.
‘Twenty games to reach 2100 points!! That’s unbelievable! How many LOL fanatics could only dream about 2000 points even after a few thousand ranked games? Now you are telling me that a mere 20 games are enough to exceed 2000 points?’
“What’s the player’s favorite champions?” Bai Feng asked.
“ADC. Sometimes SP. Caitlyn was the most picked,” Huang Kong recollected himself and answered.
Bai Feng turned silent once again. Someone of her caliber should not have gone under his club’s radar.
“Shallow Dream… Shallow Dream…” Bai Feng muttered and seemed to have suddenly recalled something. His expression was clearly astounded by his own realization.
“SD*! It’s her! It has to be!” Bai Feng exclaimed.
“SD??” Seeing Bai Feng’s expression, everyone in the room looked at each other, clearly puzzled. Apparently, they had not heard of this ID before.
“Bai Feng, who is this SD, or Shallow Dream? Is she a player from a famous international team?” Ke Shaoying asked quickly.
The other students were equally curious too. From the look on Bai Feng’s face, this Shallow Dream must be a remarkable player!
“This is interesting. I never would have thought that Shallow Dream is actually a Chinese player. I always took her as an American.” Bai Feng sounded like he had just unveiled a great secret.
“Bai Feng, is this Shallow Dream really SD?” James, aside from being dazed, was a little relieved at the same time. This was because losing to her was entirely justifiable.
According to the rumors, even numerous first-class or second-class overseas professional players had succumbed miserably in her hands before.
Intriguingly, SD was actually a Chinese, and had now emerged out of nowhere in one of China ‘s servers, Ionia.
This news was going to send the national gaming world into a frenzy once the local scouts and professional players found out about her presence.
“SD is not a pro player,” Bai Feng said enthusiastically.
He had long heard about her glorious history. Since she was a Chinese player, Bai Feng was confident that he would have the opportunity to have a match with her one day!
For some unknown reason, Bai Feng could feel his blood vessels dilating after he had guessed the true identity of Shallow Dream. It had been a while since he had last felt so feverish and longing for a battle!
