Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 36 The Forgotten Champion (Bonus Chapter)
Wearing a hooded jacket, Xiao Hu appeared in the narrow, dilapidated alley, while a light rain slowly fell from the sky.

"I've always wanted to play professionally; I know it's my way forward, so I've focused all my attention on that goal."

The drizzle suddenly intensified, with large raindrops falling freely. In the scene, the little tiger runs against the storm.

"My parents definitely wouldn't agree, and I wasn't happy at home either, so I had to pursue my dreams."

"I ran away from home for two months. I stayed in a hotel near an internet cafe, playing games from evening until the next morning or noon."

"Then I'd have breakfast, go back to the hotel to sleep for a few hours, and after I woke up, I'd go back to the internet cafe to continue playing."

In the video, Xiaohu sits alone in an internet cafe, playing League of Legends day after day, and the background music becomes eerie.

"Actually, I'm quite scared to go to that internet cafe alone at night because the road is rather remote and there are a lot of stray dogs on it."

They were also very fierce.

Countless wolves-like dogs chased after the running tiger, waiting for him to slow down so they could pounce and tear off a piece of his flesh.

"At that time, my ranked score was quite high; I was number one in the Chinese server."

"Then some teams wanted to recruit me, which was my dream, and now I've finally achieved it. I joined several teams before finally finding my place at RNG."

"My teammates are incredibly talented, and I'm constantly striving to improve myself."

The running tiger suddenly seemed to break through space and arrived in a square where everyone was holding an umbrella. No one pitied the young man without an umbrella, and the pedestrians walked forward indifferently.

"My biggest regret was during the quarterfinals of last year's World Championship, even though I managed to kill Faker a few times."

The game footage suddenly appeared.

Guan Zeyuan yelled, "Faker's health is very low in the top lane, and Xiaohu still has Zhonya's Hourglass on our side!"

Is it possible for him to solo kill Faker?!

“Got it!”

In the lonely square, Little Tiger ran again and came to the dark overpass.

"But I feel there's still a big gap between us."

The video shows Xiaohu making various mistakes and behaving like he's sleepwalking.

"This defeat was a huge blow to me, so I made up my mind to become stronger and win!"

"This World Championship is being held in China, and I want to win. I need to play my mid lane well, and I need to be stronger than the other players."

"I want to win more championships and achieve more success, to prove myself through my efforts."

The running little tiger finally reached the end of the overpass and the last corner.

Turning the corner, a chubby figure had been waiting for a long time.

The two gave each other a high five and sped off toward the distant light.

The image gradually freezes, and four large characters full of gorgeous ancient Chinese style appear on the screen.

Our ambitions have been rekindled!

Three days before the match, these two documentaries were released.

The filmmakers probably didn't expect it to cause such a huge reaction.

He spared no expense to buy a precious sword, and even exchanged a fur coat for wine – a truly extravagant act.

Cherish your passionate heart, for even when it is spilled, it can transform into azure waves.

The emotions of all League of Legends fans were instantly stirred up, and even the e-sports Louvre Pot Anti-Esports Bar changed its tune.

Go RNG! To be honest, RNG has a very good chance of winning!
Although the group stage and the knockout stage are completely different for SSG, I'm optimistic about RNG!

One after another, encouraging posts appeared in places where they shouldn't have, and the replies were all peaceful.

Letme, you better clean up this withered thing. I'm rooting for you.

I can't understand how SSG can win against Uzi who plays Xia, except by using the same tricks the Koreans used to sabotage WE.

South Korean aid is dead; the entire Chinese nation must rise up! China does not need the help of hypocritical South Koreans!

Today, the RNG team has captured the attention of countless viewers, both those who are aware of the situation and those who are unaware, and the wheels of this team are none other than RNG itself.

If the wheels are destroyed, the first people on the tank to be held accountable will be the RNG team.

This tank!

We can only keep moving forward, no matter what difficulties or obstacles lie ahead, or what smooth paths lie ahead.

Amidst much anticipation, November 4th arrived as scheduled, and the curtain finally rose on the S7 World Championship Finals.

"Let's skip training tonight, everyone. Let's adjust our mindset. Yes, yes, don't look at me, Yan Junze, I'm talking to you."

After finishing today's debriefing, Feng stood up and tapped his notebook. Seeing Letme sitting in the back row in a daze, he couldn't help but facepalm.

"Junze, why are you in such a hurry? The puppy is so fierce right now, if Xiangguo goes up to help you, there's no way he'll get blown up."

As the captain, General Tiger affectionately patted Letme's head, looking like a loving father.

Xiao Hu lacks friends and family affection in a strict sense. He doesn't have a good relationship with his family, so these lovely teammates are his spiritual wealth.

Yan Junze was nervous, which he could understand.

What many people don't know is that in S7, SSG's top laner Cuvee was the best top laner in the strictest sense.

Impact, the top laner who won the S3 championship, is affectionately known as Teacher DaMu by fans. In the final battle against Royal Club, Teacher DaMu's three Jax games left Royal Club helpless.

S4 champion top laner Looper is known as the most cost-effective top laner, capable of both offense and defense, and able to exert an extraordinary effect with minimal resources.

Marin, the S5 champion top laner and the only champion top laner to win the FMVP, is unmatched in terms of game sense. His legendary performance as the "King of the Hill" in the LCK league perfectly encapsulates his career.

Duke, the top laner who won the S6 championship, is known as "Du the Unpassable" because he is very skilled at split pushing.

TheShy, the top laner who won the S8 championship, is one of the most aggressive champion top laners in recent years, like the sharpest spear.

S9 champion top laner GimGoon has exceptional resilience, holding his own in the early game and becoming a dominant force in the late game, making him the pinnacle of utility top laners.

As for CuVee, the champion top laner of S7, many people seem to only remember him as a kind and chubby guy. His presence is indeed at the bottom among the champion top laners.

If we categorize the top laners who have won the World Championship in previous years, it's not hard to find that they fall into two relatively opposing types—mechanically-driven and awareness-driven.

TheShy is a representative player who relies on mechanical skill. Looking back at IG's matches, TheShy is often able to gain a significant advantage during the laning phase.

Few can withstand his attacks. In team fights, TheShy frequently pulls off solo victories against four or even five opponents, showcasing his undeniable individual skill.

Marin is a representative player who relies on awareness; although he is not at the level of being unbeatable in terms of individual skill,
However, few can match his awareness; his profound understanding of the game allows him to make decisions that are most beneficial to the battle.

Theshy and Marin can be seen as two mirrors of Cuvee.

His skills are excellent, and his awareness is just as good.

However, even after combining these two characteristics, Cuvee failed to make everyone remember him, which is the most frustrating thing about mediocrity.

Cuvee's all-around game made people forget his brilliance, making him the only champion top laner who has been forgotten.
