away for a Crushing Blow! Wukong grasped his enchanted staff with both hands and raised it high above his head.
Then he swung it down with all his might!

“WOOOOOOO!” Westwind exclaimed.
He stood and leaned towards the large screen above the stage, his hand supporting him on the caster desk while the other clutched the microphone.
“Top lane action! TOP LANE ACTION! Let’s hear it for the two in top lane! WOOOO! What a display of skill! Absolutely phenomenal!”

Silent Reed looked up at her co-caster and added, “Lin Feng is surprisingly good at Wukong, for a Midlaner.
Those were some really impressive mechanics! The way he’s controlling the distance between them… I can’t fault Zeng Rui’s Toplaner for losing that exchange.”

Lin Feng didn’t hear the Shoutcasters saying his name or a word that they said about him.
Nor did he hear the High School 13 student in the audience chanting his name.
All his attention was focused on the game in front of him, and on making the Irelia look like a beginner at the game.
He was toying with her and leading her like a puppet on strings with his Wukong’s skills.
But this was only the start.
He grinned as he looked at his experience bar. Almost there. Wukong’s most deceitful skill was Warrior Trickster.
He could leave a dummy on the Rift and hide in stealth for a couple of seconds.
The skill had limitless application potential, especially in the hands of Lin Feng. Think this is bad? Just you wait, darlin’.
It hasn’t even begun to get bad yet.
I’m gonna have you wondering who let all these motherfuckin’ snakes on this motherfuckin’ plane!

At 3 minutes and 40 seconds in the game, Lin Feng’s Wukong hit Level 3 and learned Warrior Trickster.
This skill was the primary differentiating factor between good Wukong players and bad Wukong players.
It was THE most important skill in Wukong’s toolkit, arguably more important than his ultimate skill.
There was even a well-known quote from a skilled pro player who climbed up to Challenger with Wukong as his main, a quote that endured as essential advice to anyone who wanted to get good with Wukong.
“A great fucking Wukong ain’t determined by how many Champions he can hit with his ult.
That’s just a monkey spinning around with a stick, and no one gives a shit about that.
A god-like Wukong doesn’t give a shit about spinning.
If you want to spin-to-win, play Garen.
The measure of a great Wukong is in how well he can use Warrior Trickster to fool and bait enemy champions.
And a real Wukong God can fool his teammates as well as his opponents with Trickster God.”

The Irelia, on the other hand, was starting to run real low on health.
She was playing more and more defensively, and was currently only using Bladesurge to last hit minions.
The skill allowed her to dash to a target and damage them.
If she killed the target she dashed to, the cooldown on the skill would instantly reset.
The Irelia used this to dash to a minion, get the last hit in, and then use the cooldown reset to quickly dash away to safety.
She thought she was being clever and playing it safe, moving around too quickly for Lin Feng’s Wukong to whack her.
But she never realized that she was doing exactly what Lin Feng wanted her to do.

Lin Feng waited until he found the perfect Red minion that was almost dead.
He knew the Irelia would dash in with Bladesurge to kill that minion, and he waited patiently for her to jump to the minion that was currently serving as the bait for his trap.
Which the Irelia did.
The instant she arrived at the minion, Lin Feng pressed down on the E key and sent his Wukong dashing in with Nimbus Strike! Then just before the attack from Nimbus Strike landed, Wukong used Warrior Trickster to create a clone that attacked the Irelia! While the Irelia was busy with the clone, the real Wukong was hidden in stealth.

The Irelia panicked when she saw Wukong barreling towards her.
She used Equilibrium Strike, which stunned a target who had more health than her.
It was a desperate attempt to buy herself a few more seconds to run away to safety.
But unfortunately for her, she ended up stunning a clone.
The real Wukong was currently invisible to her and in the process of walking behind her.
The clone dissipated, and the Irelia figured out what had happened.
But before she could do anything about it, an auto attack from the real Wukong landed on her back.
Then he raised his enchanted staff high above his head and slammed it down on the Irelia–Crushing Blow!

Ouyang shot to his feet, his arms up in the air, and shouted, “That’s my bro! Break her ankles! Kill that biiaatttchhh!” The High School 13 students behind him joined in, nearly half of the venue now calling Lin Feng their bro and demanding he kill the Irelia.
But Lin Feng didn’t hear any of this.
He was still completely focused on his screen.
He pushed towards Shanghai High School’s outer tower, where the Irelia was now hiding underneath, and looked at the cooldowns on his skills.
He laughed and said, “Been waiting for this.” Then he pressed down on the D key–Flash! His Wukong blinked forward and then dashed at the Irelia with Nimbus Strike.
He followed up with a Crushing Blow, slamming down his staff on the Irelia’s head.
