The trend started from the following video "Amateur jungler Ning vs Top tier jungler Sofm". It is a comparation between Ning and Sofm's first angle. We can see that Ning was slower and had much lower health than Sofm when finishing raptors. The next day, pro players like Karsa, Knight, Lwx, Tian also tried the route of Ning using Lee Sin, and thousands of normal players joined them. So Chinese community held an clearing jungle contest titled "The Ning Race" and the three fastest will be awarded.
