League: What? A bunch of old men can win a championship?

In another part of the world, somewhere in Shanghai, Uzbekistan sat in front of a chair, his face full of doubt.

He was exhausted after staying up all night, his mind was hazy, and he felt like he could fall asleep as soon as he lay down.

But just now, he seemed to feel a great force flowing into him, and his mind suddenly became incredibly clear!

Quick reflexes, clear thinking, even improved concentration...

Uz looked at his hands in disbelief.

After staying up all night, he can still be in this state? This is something that probably only he could do a few years ago.

Back then, he was young and ambitious, and staying up all night was commonplace for him...

Why is my buddy in such good shape today?

Uz was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't investigate it in detail.

You still need to sleep.

I'm going to take a shower.

...

At the same time, the same feeling also befell Lu Yingdong.

Having gotten used to his own reaction speed, he was really having a hard time adjusting to the attributes of peak Uzi.

It was as if everything around us slowed down...

Of course, this was an illusion; the actual feeling wasn't that obvious, and Lu Yingdong quickly adapted.

Only then did he open his attribute panel and take a look.

Host: Lu Yingdong

Status: Currently boosted by peak card (Target: Uzi - 2017 SOLO Tournament Two-Time Champion Limited Edition)

Age: 25

Operation: 97 (67+30)

Reaction: 95 (67+28)

Consciousness: 89 (77+12)

Laning phase: 97 (81+16)

Team fight: 91 (71+20)

Looking at this row of exaggerated numbers, Lu Yingdong couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Wow, is that a human?

Countless people say that Uzbekistan loves to take baths, but no one has ever said that he's bad at it.

In 2017, Uzi, although not top-tier in awareness and team fights, won the SOLO championship for two consecutive years in S6 and S7 thanks to his outstanding competitive talent and laning ability.

While it may not be considered an honor, it does demonstrate an individual's abilities to some extent.

It's also worth noting that the system seems to have a certain bias in its selection of players in peak condition. For example, since it's currently playing solo, it has selected the solo version of Uzi.

This version of Uzi might not be the strongest in competitive matches, but he's absolutely top-tier in solo matches.

With this attribute, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to take down veterans like Letme, who weren't much while active and even less so after retirement, in solo matches?

That one hour of peak time should be enough to crush them a hundred times, right?

"Hey, wait, what are you daydreaming about again?" Zitai urged from the side. "Come inside! See how your dad tortures you!"

Lu Yingdong glared at him, "Come on!"

I joined the room, and with Letme and Crystal as my two supervisors, the solo match quickly began.

Even while they were still picking champions, Zz1tai made a bold statement, "Come on, pick any mid-lane champion you want, I'll just play Viktor against you!"

Both players play mid lane, so their solo matches will also primarily focus on mid lane.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yingdong retorted without backing down, "Come on, let me wind you up, we're not going to play games."

Orianna versus Viktor: a classic mid-lane matchup in League of Legends, it truly tests a player's fundamental skills.

"No joking around? OK, OK, you like being humiliated, huh? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

"Who's humiliating whom here? Let's switch heroes and play again later. I'll humiliate you twice as much, okay?"

"OK, come on, come on!"

Even when they were still developing their talent, their mouths were already constantly chattering.

This is typical for their solo matches. Watching Lu Yingdong and his team solo, you don't even need to see the screen; even a blind person could tell what's going on. You just need to listen. Whoever talks the most has the advantage.

There's not much to say about talent. In a mid-to-high-level solo match, both sides usually use Aery, Nullify, Orb of Despair, Scorch, and Elixir King, and their item builds are also Corrupting Potion. They're basically the same.

At level one, Lu Yingdong didn't seem to be engaging in any combat with the opponent. He simply stood quietly under the tower, waiting to reach lane with the minions.

But this naturally gave Zita the opportunity to talk back. He, playing Viktor, blocked Lu Yingdong's tower and arrogantly said, "Seriously, you're just a level 1 Orianna, why are you so cowardly with Viktor? Come out and fight me!"

Lu Yingdong grinned and immediately retorted, "It's too early now. I'm afraid you'll run home after I beat you too badly, what's the point? I'll definitely wait until the minions come online before playing with you!"

"Wow, you're really arrogant! Come on, this round we're not allowing anyone to go home. Whoever goes home is a son!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yingdong perked up, "Okay, let's go!"

After finishing his sentence, without saying another word, he immediately wound up the clockwork and rushed out of the tower.

In a matchup between Clockwerk and Viktor, Clockwerk definitely has the advantage at level one.

Both heroes have the same attack range of 525 yards, but the difference is that if Viktor wants to trade blows at level 1, he will most likely need to learn Q.

Of course, Viktor can learn E, but trading blows like that is not worthwhile. First, the damage is not high and it is easy to be countered. Second, the mana consumption is easy to run out.

Viktor's Q has a range of 600 yards, but Clockwerk's Q has a range of 815 yards. This small difference already limits Viktor's maneuverability.

Of course, despite his disadvantage, Zitai was not going to back down when it came to talking. Even though he was at a disadvantage, he still had to argue with Lu Yingdong.

Seeing the clockwork emerge from the turret, he also took two steps back, leaving room for pursuit, and then the two began their duet.

He knew that Orianna's Q had a range of 815 units. Of course, Zita didn't expect to get Orianna for free. What he was aiming for was to be able to throw his own Q in while taking Orianna's Q, so that he wouldn't lose out in the trade.

Maintaining a distance of around 800 yards, he kept pulling back and forth, trying to find an opportunity.

Years of gaming experience have given him a fairly accurate grasp of distance control in this regard...

But on the other side... Lu Yingdong looked at Viktor, who was being pulled back and forth, and couldn't help but grin coldly.

Orianna is playing against Viktor; he's fought Zz1tai quite a bit before.

The initial tug-of-war between the two sides can only be described as a back-and-forth exchange, and it is difficult for him to gain the upper hand every time.

But that was all in the past.

Now, with the attribute boost from peak Uzi, the attack ranges of both sides are as clear to him as if he were using a script, with circles clearly visible to him!

He first pretended to take a step back, and the moment Viktor pressed forward, he immediately used Q [Command: Attack] to strike!

While Orianna's Q skill has a long range, its weaknesses are also obvious: it's relatively slow and not very wide.

Fortunately, Lu Yingdong knew that Zitai was eager to change his position and would most likely not make any moves.

After throwing the Q, he immediately turned and retreated.

Zita felt he had seized an opportunity, and he almost wore out his Q key from pressing it, but he still couldn't throw it. Instead, he could only watch as Orianna hit him with a Q, triggering Aery and Scorch.

At the same time, of course, there was also the humiliation...

Crystal immediately chimed in, adding insult to injury: "Wait, what's going on? You couldn't even dodge that Q?"

He secretly took a breath, sensing a slight increase in temperature...

Taking advantage of the 6-second window when Orianna couldn't use her Q, he immediately pushed forward, trying to get the health back.

But how could Lu Yingdong possibly give him that chance? He kept a distance of 600 yards from Viktor, giving Zita the illusion that he could reach him.

As he moved around, he frantically pressed Q, filling the live stream with the sound of keyboard clicks.

Q key lifespan -1000...

Even so, Viktor still couldn't land his Q.

Instead, Lu Yingdong stalled for six seconds, seized the opportunity when Viktor turned around, and used Q [Command: Attack] to hit him again, before making a quick getaway!

He pressed Q again, but still couldn't make a move.

"Damn! It's stuck!"

A roar echoed throughout the live stream and YY channel, eliciting laughter from Letme and Crystal, who were watching the match.

Can you stand a computer that costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan but lags when playing solo?

The computer the frog was given was no good!

Lu Yingdong was overjoyed after succeeding twice in a row, exclaiming that Uzi was indeed amazing.

"Oops, I got hit again? Is this the streamer's way of manipulating the conversation?"

With his health advantage, he continued to talk back to warm up his stance while simultaneously kiting and waiting for his Q skill to cool down.

When Q skill is ready for the third time, the minions will be about to spawn.

At this point, Lu Yingdong simply stopped pretending and walked straight toward Viktor.

Zita was now extremely anxious. Seeing Orianna walking straight towards him, he immediately threw a Q at Orianna, finally triggering that damned Aery.

But this wasn't a mistake by Lu Yingdong; it was a trap he had prepared long ago.

Having already gotten two free Qs, this exchange of blows is a huge success, so there's no need to conserve health.

The instant Lu Yingdong was hit by Viktor's Q skill, he immediately consumed a Corrupting Potion, gaining a 5% movement speed bonus through the Time Warp Tonic. He then brought Viktor into his attack range and followed up with a basic attack followed by a Q!

"How dare you go against me?" Lu Yingdong continued to tease.

"What's wrong with me being A!" She wasn't intimidated at all, and shot a laser at Lu Yingdong's clockwork.

Lu Yingdong slammed down another A, "Come on, keep going!"

"Come on then!" Zi Tai said as he drank his medicine and retreated, glancing back at him as well.

Losing in a solo match is fine, but losing verbally is not.

It's obvious that Viktor can't beat Clockwerk with his passive ability...

Because the battle took place in front of Lu Yingdong's tower, Lu Yingdong attacked all the way to the tower, directly reducing Viktor's health to less than half.

Lu Yingdong finished the job with a final AQ, completing this major roster change with great success.

Looking at his condition—less than half health remaining, yet almost having consumed three layers of Corruption Potion—he felt like crying.

At this moment, Lu Yingdong's voice could still be heard.

"You're not allowed to go back to the city."

"I'm not going back!"
