Chapter 41: Setting Up a Tent
After picking up her first kill, Ah Mei was in a good mood. Even though her expression flashed with gloominess when she recalled how Rengar had already picked up two kills, at least she was having no problems scaling at bot lane. She glanced at Sivir and Morgana, her lips curving into a smile. The support Morgana was a Platinum player while the ad-carry Sivir was Diamond 5. Even though the Sivir player was more skilled than she was, she was playing Caitlyn who had the superior attack range. Plus, her own Support was Diamond 2. So, she had no problem pressuring the enemy.
Ah Mei recalled back to base and bought a pickaxe to give herself a larger edge in bottom lane. “Diamond ad-carries are nothing special,” she happily muttered to herself. “Ha, I must've gotten better! Jerks calling me a boosted thot. I'll show them! I'm just as good as any other Diamond ad-carry now!”
Ah Mei snapped out of her daydreaming. As she glanced at the opposing team’s scoreboard, she knitted her brows. Despite being down a kill and losing in lane, Sivir was even with her in CS. She was never great at last hitting minions. Even in the last match, Evening Snowfall was close to 30 CS up on her at 10 minutes. Just thinking about it brought a frown to her pretty face. How could she lose in CSing to a Gold noob?
Shifting her thoughts back to Sivir, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes. “Looks like it’s time to tell Lee Sin to come down for a gank again—” Suddenly, her eyes went wide with alarm after a blood red marker started glowing above her Caitlyn’s head! “What’s goi—?”
A dark silhouette appeared out of nowhere and pounced on Caitlyn at frightening speed, leaving Ah Mei no time to react. Rengar’s hunt had begun!

Closing in on his prey under the guise of stealth, the Pridestalker’s vision was dyed in blood, as if the only thing driving him was the lust for the kill. After appearing within hunting range, glowing markers appeared above the heads of two enemy champions!
Lin Feng clicked on Caitlyn with his mouse. Rengar pounced out of stealth and threw out an empowered bola, rooting her to the ground. His blade cut down into her and took away a large portion of her health. Then, he smoothly sidestepped the Aqua Prison thrown at him by Nami.
The viewers of the stream stared blankly at their screens.
