I, who love to post on Weibo, have become a professional Tongtian generation

Chapter 758 Drifting into the Distance
The list of the top six was somewhat unexpected.

Compared to Miller's rating video, RNG's B+ rating has surprisingly broken into the A and S categories. Especially considering RNG defeated BLG, this has made fans even more delighted.

after all…

RNG's performance was bumpy and inconsistent.

Like Icon, no matter how big the advantage is, it's not stable. He's constantly being criticized for being a noob. Let's not even talk about the top lane. There are two blue-collar players rotating in and out. Sunset is worse than AJ in lane, but he's not as good as AJ in terms of being a carry. Both of them are the targets of criticism.

Just like that.

This spring season was jokingly called a punishment for Uzi, to pay back the debts he owed in the previous two seasons... After barely making it into the playoffs with an 8-7 record, he unexpectedly lost 3-1 to BLG.

Compared to RNG.

BLG is a true S-tier gatekeeper, with Bin in the top lane, Guohao, the S8 Best Rookie Jungler nominee in the jungle, the Golden Left Hand in the mid lane, and elk paired with xinmo in the bottom lane.

Although everyone thought BLG's bot lane was no match before the game, with the top half of the map, it shouldn't be too difficult to beat Xiyang, Icon, and Laoren Xiangguo.

But who knew that Xiyang would stabilize his position and contribute a 2v2 counter-kill against Bin under the tower. In four games against him, he held his own in the laning phase in three of them and made contributions in team fights.

In contrast, Bin, seemingly possessed, picked champions like Jax, Camille, and Fiora, and before even reaching the point of pushing the side lanes, he was already making inappropriate remarks…

As we all know, that was the result.

Uzi was in top form, dominating his lane and managing to get at least four plating layers. Icon had a flashy laning phase, dominating Knight in the first, third, and fourth games with Akali, Xerath, and Cassiopeia.

In summary, it's quite simple: BLG lacks experience in best-of-five series, Bin is crazy, elk feeds, and Knight isn't as good as Bilibili claims.

The trident envisioned by management only worked in one game; the rest were completely ineffective.

According to an analysis post by an esports blogger, the player "Left Hand" is most vulnerable when he doesn't have an advantage in lane. Once he can't gain an edge, he doesn't know what to do.

Secondly, Bin went berserk. He was clearly getting better and better with the hero he picked, but he insisted on aggressive trades, resulting in a solo kill by the game planner.

The bot lane is even worse. ELK's positioning was a bit poor, and he couldn't win a 2v2 due to sheer skill. Xinmo, on the other hand, didn't know how to ward, and his team fights failed to reveal RNG's formation...

In response to this analytical post, the comments section discussed:

"Hilarious! They marketed a handsome man with ancient Chinese style all season last year, and now they've just abandoned him. Now look what's happened, AJ went to RNG and turned around and messed up BLG."

"Signing Bin is fine, but Hao Ge said on the show that Bin's laning is a bit rough. Why not keep AJ as a practice partner and let the veteran train the newcomer?"
"If AJ were still on the team, I don't believe BLG would be so lacking in frontliners that they need Guohao to fill in the tank role. Fun fact: Guohao doesn't like helping lanes, he prefers to drag the game into the late game and farm. What's the point of picking a champion like Sejuani or Poppy and farming like that?"

"The left hand is not as good as toothpaste..."

"ELK played well with his gear; there were a few waves where he managed to avoid being killed."

"Is no one praising Cold? At the same age, Icon is already competing for the title of solo kill king. When will the Left Hand you guys are praising be able to win a BO5?"

"Icon's champion pool is undeniable. In that game, the opponent banned seven mid laners, and he still managed to pull out Xerath and dominate. I heard in the post-match interview that they hadn't practiced Xerath in scrims..."

"Who isn't a child prodigy?"

"If S8 had the same mentality as this year, they would have met in the semifinals."

"..."

In e-sports, strength speaks for itself.

After defeating BLG, the reputation of all RNG members improved, and even the "baby-faced top laner" Bingfeng Xiyang, who was constantly being criticized, became less annoying.

afterwards.

The official Bilibili esports comment section was flooded with hate comments.

Faced with an early exit, Bin updated his social media to encourage himself: "Brothers, we'll be back for the Summer Split."

Someone joked in the comments: "Bin, the Summer Split is much stronger than the Spring Split." The subtext: If you weren't good in the Spring Split, stop pretending.

Bin appeared in the comments section and responded: You think I can't come back?
"666666."

"His opening remarks were at a level that no amateur could reach."

"humor."

"Bin's performance in the Spring Split was far from ideal."

"Landlady...?"

"Are you serious or just messing around?"

"Skewer? My Bin brother never skews."

"If you're new here and don't understand Bin, go search for clips of 'Beyond Bar,' and you'll open up a whole new world."

Do you understand the value of being a winner?

"He's too genuine, too honest, and too unwilling to admit defeat."

"As long as the sun rises as usual, I, Bin, will forget yesterday."

"..."

While waiting in the queue.

Qin Hao saw this post and couldn't help but react to the comments. He realized that since the winner, nothing Bin did surprised the audience.

If another contestant had said that, it would have been met with overwhelming criticism.

But when it happened to Bin, quite a few viewers were still amused and entertained, which is quite a sight in the LPL.

While Xun was pouring a glass of water, he noticed Qin Hao browsing Bilibili and proactively came over to share information.

"...Don't be fooled by how simple Bin makes it sound. On the day they lost, they went wild in the rest room." Many people don't know this, but Xun, Elk, and Bin were in the second team and appeared on shows together, so they've always kept in touch.

"Exploded?"

Qin Hao became interested.

He's a common man, and he also enjoys gossiping.

"Correct."

Xun, standing nearby, shared: "Guohao felt that the players were playing recklessly online. Every time he didn't finish the first round, either the top laner got flashed or the bottom laner's wave was blocked, and then he complained a bit..."

That's quite normal.

From a jungler's perspective, Guohao's BO5 performance was definitely superior to Xiangguo's – Xiangguo's playstyle was too aggressive, and anyone could criticize him this season.

"Then Chen Zebin talked to him, saying that others would come and check when they crossed the line, but you didn't come..."

Imagining Bin's angry outburst, a picture of a cat flashed through Qin Hao's mind...

"They argued over the line, and then Bin said: 'If you can't beat someone, you say I'm impatient; if you can't beat someone, you don't say anything.' This made Guohao feel frustrated."

What does ELK drop?

It's normal for Ueno to have conflicts; we've heard about it a lot in the industry.

After all, in the top lane, having a powerful backer is a huge advantage.

"...I thought the support was bad, and I didn't like watching him in team fights." Xun recounted the atmosphere at the time: "Anyway, by the third game, we hadn't said much."

According to Xun, Qin Hao roughly pieced together a scenario.

When the score was 1 to 2, Zuo Shou was invisible off the field, while the top lane held firm. Xinmo had neither the skill nor the right to speak, and was disliked by the AD and dared not talk back. Guohao, on the other hand, was the one who criticized everyone.

After listening to the conversation, lqs remarked, "They deserved to lose. RNG's mentality was clearly better than theirs, and Icon is a pretty funny guy. With him around, the atmosphere wasn't too tense."

Speaking of RNG.

Recalling the changes in someone during this period, Qin Hao said with a hint of caution, "...Some things, once they're over, are over."

Just like what netizens said.

This season's roster is worse than last year's, but Uzi hasn't gotten angry much. If he had this kind of mentality last year, he wouldn't have had to play until the fifth game and start muttering to himself...

However, regarding the next round, lqs commented: "RNG's problem is their top and jungle. Playing normally, they're prone to missing two champions unless their tower-pushing rhythm never breaks, but how can it possibly break..."

These words came true.

The Royal Fans were only happy for two days before being swept away by SN with a 3-1 victory.

In this BO5, SN implemented a strategy of nurturing their top laner. As long as Langx had a significant equipment advantage, they could focus all their efforts on targeting Uzi and denying the backline any opportunity to deal damage.

With Huanfeng and Snake holding their own in lane, RNG, lacking rhythm and support from the side lanes, became a team that could only force team fights by taking down Baron.

They were eliminated in the second round.

Seeing that the recent public opinion had improved and the negative impact hadn't dragged down the team too much, Bai Xing suddenly became ambitious. Originally, he planned to reduce investment and gradually shift his focus to Honor of Kings.

Looking at it now, as long as they strengthen the top and jungle positions and build a team around Icon, Uzi, and Ming, it seems like they have a chance to compete for a spot.

Because back in April, Riot Games announced that Vietnam would be the host country for MSI.

In addition to stipulating that this year's MSI will implement global business partners (BP), it has been decided to add one more slot.

In other words, in addition to the three slots from the four major regions, one additional slot will be allocated to a mobile MSI slot, increasing the appeal and prestige of MSI.

When discussing the overall situation, the European commentators complained that there is only one champion for the whole year, which is not suitable for creating a god. Moreover, because of the imbalance of honors, many teams will only sprint in the second half and do not care about the Spring Championship at all.

Like G2.

This year, they signed Caps to form a super team. Perkz openly said that the team wasn't very disciplined in the Spring Split, and they would give them special training in the Summer Split.

Following this logic, the contestant is not wrong either.

After all, there's only one champion for the whole year. Why not take a break and treat the competitions like practice matches before the season starts, and then train intensively later on? In any case, whoever wins the S-series championship wins the world, so why squeeze out your professional career?

Regarding this…

With four spots available, it's certainly worth a shot.

After all, EDG's top and jungle can also disappear, IG is still catching the mole, and JD's Yagao can't put pressure on Icon... The more Bai Xing thought about it, the more she felt there was potential. She glanced at Langx, who was hugging SwordArt, and started eyeing her brother-in-law's talent pool.

In April, Bai Xing attended her older sister's wedding with Lin Qing.

Lin Qing is the person in charge of SN Group's esports strategy.

Just as Bai Xing was figuring out how to strengthen his team, SN, who had advanced to the semifinals, was eliminated by JDG. The former LGD starter failed to break through the wall of former substitute Zoom, which led C Bo to criticize Langx in the small group.

The days passed by.

The news that Nanfeng was dissatisfied with the rotation is still spreading.

After two months of humiliation, some netizens have started praising Baolan again, especially the phrase "What's the use of a support player?" which has become a bible. JKL stated in his live stream that he didn't want to see any negative comments about Baolan in the chat.

Even JKL didn't dislike Baolan, so the fans who were indignant on JKL's behalf naturally quieted down a bit.

However, after Weibo was defeated 3-2 by FPX, and then FPX was defeated 3-1 by IG, viewers noticed that Baolan had once again disappeared from the roster.

Because the timing was so opportune, many netizens secretly speculated that IG gave up on Baolan to accommodate Nanfeng's feelings.

Many people went to the official Weibo account to inquire, but neither the official account nor Xiao Wang gave a direct answer.

Amidst all the speculation, news broke that Baolan was disheartened and about to retire, causing a huge stir.

You can read it in one second.

Ten seconds of shock.

Then they forwarded it everywhere and started promoting it in groups.

"real or fake?"

"What about the contract? It's only been signed for three years."

"What else can I do but retire and retire on IG?"

"Holy crap, I'm all gone."

"Damn, who's going to make up for my lack of food?"

"This B-ranked Nanfeng can play as the runner-up support?"

"Puff is tied to Nanfeng, they used to be teammates."

"Got it, blame wink, #wink status#."

"..."

Royal blue is currently experiencing a low point in public opinion.

The memories of S8 are just too fond. When the controversy started, some of the harshest criticism came from people who were frustrated with his performance. After all, S8 wasn't that bad. It's not that he kept improving, but he certainly didn't play like a sleepwalker on the field, getting completely destroyed by so many supports.

and so…

Passersby still harbored some fondness and affection for Baolan, after all, he was a member of the "After-get off work Squad," and Luo played quite elegantly...

And this person, who wore braces and frequently showed off his "affection" with JKL, has simply disappeared?

Because it was attacked by the entire internet, the feeling of collapse is particularly strong.

after all…

Even a stranger you've met a few times will feel a bit emotional if they suddenly leave, let alone a celebrity like Bao Bao who's constantly being criticized.

One person tells ten, ten people tell a hundred, a hundred people tell a thousand, a thousand people tell ten thousand.

Surprisingly, quite a few people felt sorry for Baolan on IG's official Weibo account, and cursed IG for being inhumane.

Thanks to his relationship with Rookie and JKL, Qin Hao took the initiative to ask them about Bao Lan's disheartening situation after hearing about it. However, contrary to outside speculation that Gong Shu was the one in charge, JKL actually thought Bao Lan was doing quite well lately, and Rookie said the same thing.

—I had dinner with him just the day before yesterday, and it went well.

—Things weren't good for a while... but they're much better now.

~~~
IG base.

Contrary to rumors that he has retired from the entertainment industry, Bao Lan seems to be living a pretty carefree life.

after all…

As long as you learn to accept your shortcomings, your mindset won't be too bad. It's just that being criticized online and disliked by Nanfeng recently made Baolan stop and reflect on herself.

He admits.

He initially posted the suicide note on Weibo because he felt a huge sense of disappointment that his teammates were getting big contracts while he couldn't. Fortunately, he left with Wink at the beginning of the season, which served as a wake-up call from reality.

He began to re-evaluate his own skills and abilities, realizing that he was made successful by the team, rather than the team being indispensable to him.

Once you realize your ordinariness and your luck, you won't feel so conflicted.

After all, looking back two years, his biggest wish was simply to support himself. It was only later, surrounded by applause, that he believed the praise from his fans and took it for granted that he was a chosen one.

and so…

Scrolling through the comments under the official Weibo post.

Bao Lan almost laughed.

While he was hitting people, he was always cursing. But after a while, when he stopped hitting them, some people actually missed him…

question…

The current state of IG is beyond his ability to save.

He was just a support player.

It's a pretty ordinary support hero, not one with particularly refined micro-management skills. Since it's not that powerful or important, why daydream about it?

Suppressing her restlessness little by little, Baolan repeatedly told herself to be calm and composed.

Staring at Baolan's back, Rookie only knew that Baolan was more active than before the New Year and could take a joke, which filled him with joy.

after all…

He'll be happy to see Baolan's mindset improve.

Although the team still has weaknesses and the coach is still very worried, the game is not everything, and no one wants the team to look miserable.

4 month 13 number.

Top Esports will face off against Invictus Gaming in the semifinals.

That afternoon, Nanfeng, carrying a shoulder bag, hoped to see Baolan's disappointed eyes, but... she didn't. Even though fans have recently been calling for more opportunities for Baolan, she herself hasn't been affected.

Do not know why.

Seeing Baolan and Rookie chatting and laughing in a circle, he vaguely felt like he was the one being ostracized. But Baolan wasn't a starter, so why couldn't he talk to him more?

Think of this.

The south wind felt very aggrieved.

Despite being so bad, he still managed to get second place, and some fans are defending him.

He clearly performed better, helping the team secure a top-3 finish in the second half, yet he didn't receive any recognition. In esports, being bad is supposed to be the original sin, so why is it that in crucial matches, fans are still focused on Baolan?

What exactly went wrong?

Feeling gloomy, Nanfeng was the first to board the bus and took out her earphones from her bag. Noticing something was wrong, Puff asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much..."

He doesn't want to say.

Because Puff is very obsequious to the top, mid, and jungle, unlike him who would argue his point.
