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

Chapter 759 The Turmoil Before the Execution
Semifinal tickets…

It's impossible to get one.

The more than 200 million clicks to reserve the live stream set a new record for Bilibili event reservations.

after all…

So much pacing, so much excitement…

People want to come and experience the atmosphere in real time; the subtle nuances can be described by the over 10,000 likes on Weibo posts.

"I love the atmosphere of the IG super topic. It's a pure battle, a battle without any reason. Strangers fire at each other like mortal enemies, their mouths are like they've been poisoned (smiley face emoji)."

and this.

This is the big drama surrounding the mole within IG at the beginning of the year.

The plot twists and turns, and the intensity of the struggles, kept viewers clamoring for more.

Thus, with Nanfeng seemingly disliking Baolan, viewers will undoubtedly scrutinize the bot lane's performance with a magnifying glass during this best-of-five series.

The wind direction was indeed as described.

Before the match even started, people were already mocking "Puff" (a derogatory term referring to someone whose inflated performance is like a puff that oozes pus) in various prediction posts.

"Everyone says Puff is better than Wink, I want to see where that strength lies."

"No ill intent. Who is Nanfeng?"

"Oh my god, are those two roadside guys ganging up on my Lan Ge? And Su Xiaoluo, that idiot, is playing a soccer game again." Back in S6, IG implemented a 9-man rotation, which is why fans immediately got PTSD when they heard that Nanfeng was unhappy about being rotated.

"Since we can't win anyway, we might as well let Baolan come up and fight."

"Indeed, it looks more comfortable."

"Trust Qing Shen, we'll have something to eat tonight."

"He hasn't learned anything else, but he's learned palace intrigue. How interesting!"

"I think there are two separate zones. What's the point of TGA results?"

"..."

The two individuals' professional backgrounds were already dug up in the supertopic.

This is also why Nanfeng felt awkward.

In his view, he and Puff are natural allies and should stick together to fight for tactical support and a say. They shouldn't listen to Ning in everything, since Ning's command is just so-so. After losing, the bottom lane gets the most criticism, so there's no reason to let the jungler lead the way.

But each time we review the situation.

Puff is always timid and hesitant. Even when he's at a low health level, he doesn't dare to criticize the issues and only knows how to say things like "It's so annoying to play this game".

Even the fans don't welcome them, so why are they so eager to be their dumping grounds? You can't criticize the top laner, you can't criticize the mid laner, so every time you look for a reason, you look for the bottom laner... Is that right?

There are many genuine people in the esports community.

Of course, being a little low in emotional intelligence can also mean being stupid, not recognizing one's place, and having an inflated sense of self-importance.

Nanfeng is stubborn and genuinely looks down on Baolan.

Having watched many first-person perspective videos, he understands Baolan's confusion better than JKL's fans. Not to mention Meiko's single-threaded approach, some people don't even have their own opinions on whether to initiate a team fight, and they need their teammates to pin the bushes when placing wards.

These kinds of insects...

Why are so many people speaking up for him?

Of course, many people have this mentality. After all, the strong should humiliate the weak, especially in the professional circle. Everyone makes a living by their skills. You can't get here without some skill. So if I'm better than you, my fans should kneel down.

The only thing Nanfeng got wrong was...

The strong can indeed humiliate the weak, but this is only true if the difference in strength is significant enough.

He thought that his better performance in training matches and a small winning streak in the second half of the season would earn him recognition from his teammates and popularity from fans. However, reality was far from his expectations, and the audience was more concerned about Baolan.

After all, in the eyes of the audience, the gap between the two is not so large that their past can be ignored.

He noticed that fans liked to point out problems with the bot lane, but didn't understand that this team composition meant they were expected to win against mid-to-lower-tier teams, and it wasn't worth the effort to praise them.

He doesn't understand...

So they felt discriminated against, felt bullied by Lan Mama, and couldn't even retaliate. But in the eyes of casual viewers, Bao Lan's performance was 5 points, with a 3-point bonus for nostalgia, while Nan Feng's performance was 6 points, with zero points for nostalgia.

He felt that with fans banding together and no one speaking up for him, he had to fight and struggle on his own.

But the result was that he missed out on more opportunities, and the entire Instagram was tolerating him.

~~~
Backstage.

Nanfeng discussed with the coach and translator that they wanted to catch Top Esports' bot lane off guard by picking a combination like Ashe and Braum, and get all the turret plating in the first game.

Through the translator's explanation, Karam asked in confusion, "You mean, let Ueno initiate the team fight?"

"Why not? Top laners can't break through the lane anyway." The words may be crude, but the principle is sound. There have been quite a few games this season where GimGoon has had his turret plates stolen, but getting GimGoon out of the game is difficult.

Moreover, this generally requires tilting the cot.

Having the right impression about the problem doesn't mean you're speaking correctly. Judging from Nanfeng's tone, Prince Ning found it quite amusing.

Perhaps it's a clash of personalities.

As the one who makes decisions within the team, he couldn't stand Nanfeng, who had never shared in any glory but spoke so arrogantly, acting as if he could really carry the team...

“They’ll burn through the champion pool. If you don’t pick first, you might not get such a good laning champion.” Karam believes in star power and doesn’t care as much about the right lineup as other Korean coaches.

And he has been coaching for so long.

It's already quite clear who's putting the most pressure on us.

However, he couldn't ignore the team members' opinions, as mental management was equally important. Seeing Nanfeng repeatedly emphasize the importance of the lower half of the bracket, he thought about it and felt that he couldn't disregard the vice commander's opinion and dampen his competitive spirit.

"Then the first three picks should be the bot lane, and we'll see if we can fill in the jungle or mid lane depending on the situation."

Karam is relatively easy to talk to, provided that you are willing to accept the consequences of your bet.

It's worth noting that IG didn't bring Baolan because Su Xiaoluo approved it, in order to test whether the bot lane had any development potential and whether they needed to add more players.

after all…

During the MSI, the transfer window will open...

~~~
"First of all, I apologize for keeping you all waiting."

"..."

The live stream was delayed by half an hour, and the chat was full of people shouting for the door to open.

Once Guan Zeyuan started warming up the crowd, the team members from both sides quickly appeared on either side of the stage.

"...JDG is already waiting in the finals, let's see who can stand to the end tonight."

"It is worth noting that Baolan and Wink are not on tonight's player roster."

"On the other side, Xun, as Top Esports' starting jungler, will play in this semifinal."

We discussed the points that are currently being focused on by the outside world.

Guan Zeyuan, recalling tonight's canteen, smiled and said, "Here's a sneak peek: tonight's canteen will be broadcast in real time, and the production team has invited a very important guest."

"Hey~~ How much does it weigh?"

C-Bo pretended to be clueless and asked with a grin.

“If even the pipe thinks it’s heavy, then it must be really heavy,” Cat joked from the side.

"All I can say is that it will be very lively, and it would be a pity to miss it." Guan Zeyuan glanced at the time and continued, "It's only 5:35 now. If you get off work early, it can open around 9 o'clock."

"9 o'clock? What's your predicted score?"

"Three to one".

"Who's three?"

"Is that even a question?" Guan Zeyuan patted his chest: "Who doesn't know me, iHao003?"

"Who is 002?"

Cat was full of question marks, and the barrage of comments was also full of question marks. After all, everyone recognized Big Dog iHao001, so where did this 003 come from?

Guan Zeyuan mumbled, "Just like Ruo~ ah, Ruozi already called him Die, let him be number 002 without hair." Ruo and Die, these two words are not clear at all unless you listen carefully.

“Okay, you accept that too, but what did you do as 003?” Cat deliberately protested: “I didn’t even rank myself.”

"You don't love her anyway."

"Who says I don't love it? I love it! If you don't believe me, open Weibo. I've retweeted every single one of Hao Ge's posts, and I even campaigned for him in the annual poll!"

"You're trying to take credit for this?" Guan Zeyuan: "I even posted the link on my WeChat Moments!"

"..."

A playful fight ensued.

The director showed the BP interface.

Since the reigning champion has the right to choose sides on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th, Cvmax proactively chose the blue side. This is because, as of now, it's generally accepted that the red side's counter-position value has been weakened.

With one ban, Top Esports blocked Galio, while IG opted to ban Ryze instead.

As expected, IG will need to consider Akali, Ezreal, and other champions with high win rates for their last two picks. Therefore, Cvmax believes that in this BO5, they only need to suppress the top and jungle, and not waste ban slots on the bottom and support.

after all….

The user ID "Nanfeng" doesn't have any heroes worth banning.

Thus, the 3-ban phase ended.

Top Esports: Galio, Xin Zhao, Kindred

IG: Ryze, Akali, Caitlyn

Cat: "Should we ban Caitlyn? I'm afraid we won't be able to win in the bot lane." "I remember Puff also plays Caitlyn."

C-Boli Zhongke.

Barrage:

"It's based on the ID."

"Weakened?"

"South wind, south wind, south wind, south wind."

Stop spamming and just watch the game.

"..."

then.

Top Esports' decision to pick Camille is clearly a risky tactic. So far in the regular season, Top Esports has lost five games, mostly due to unusual team compositions.

In the most extreme game, four top laners were picked...

"Without Camille, IG has lost a flexible option."

"The overall requirements for the coaching staff are very high, and it really tests their on-the-spot decision-making."

"How so? Kalista is still outside, and Neeko is too."

Cat suggested to IG: "Stop holding back, just go for Nautilus and Neeko. Those two are incredibly strong at initiating team fights. And TheShy's AD Neeko is definitely something special. As long as we don't drag the game into the late game, we can control resources quite well..."

talking.

Lock Neeko and Ashe on the right.

"Neeko can be used, and Ashe is probably going to be played by Puff." Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "Moreover, Top Esports has played the double marksman system before, and LQS's Ashe... has a pretty accurate ultimate. It can be considered as picking her to force a ban, preparing for the future."

Guan Zeyuan thinks IG handled this move well.

bass!
Top Esports locked onto Titan and Ezreal on the second and third floors.

Seeing that the other party had fallen for the trap, Nanfeng was very excited. After all, Brome and Titan were sure to win in a direct confrontation.

Guan Zeyuan: "No problem, choose to dismantle the Titanic..."

"Here comes Bloom?!"

"This hero reminds me of an old friend, could it be that...?" Understanding Cat's hint, the audience smiled knowingly.

Back when the whole internet was obsessed with young heroes, Bilibili only recognized two and a half heroes: Rakan, Braum, and Tahm Kench, who was hard to kill in team fights.

Aside from these three, there were a lot of other scenes depicting the underworld, including the Minotaur character that Baolan often plays, but none of them were well received by the audience.

Nanfeng actively communicated regarding securing the power line.

In the second round, IG specifically banned Ornn and Irelia, while Top Esports chose to ban Kalista and Vladimir, targeting top lane champions who are easier to carry.

"Four picks, how to put it... it feels like IG needs to add some frontliners, since Braum's initiation ability is very weak, and he's not as good at following Neeko into the fight."

"Sion? Locked!"

"Wow~~~"

C exclaimed in surprise, "I thought they would give the top lane counter pick."

"They didn't ban many top lane champions this game, did they?" Cat was equally puzzled: "After playing so many strong lane matchups, they suddenly stopped playing in the semifinals."

"What's this called? This is called the atmosphere. The whole world knows that IG likes to play top lane, so they'll definitely target them in the game... Hey, I'll suddenly pick a tank, are you confused?"

"I don't know if Top Esports is confused or not, but look at Xun's expression..." The camera focused on Xun, who was almost grinning.

"I'll keep my opinion to myself, okay?"

in voice.

Xun was indeed laughing.

"I've got it! How do we carry Sion and Neeko?"

“…give away points.” lqs was more blunt than xun: “The other side doesn’t want to win.”

Big Eyebrows was also confused: "What's going on? Are you treating me like an easy target?"

"you are not?"

Since climbing that mountain once, lqs has become increasingly sarcastic and has stopped pretending to be elegant.

"Hehe, don't yell after that."

"Your EZ is just so-so."

While they were still bickering, Qin Hao, mimicking a netizen's comment, said, "Is it possible that the coach is a pro-blue team?"

"How to say?"

"The opposing (bottom lane) is under a lot of pressure. They can't get the turret plating in the early game, so they can't create a gap in damage, and they're prone to lacking damage in team fights."

Then, Qin Hao encouraged him, "Si Shao, stay calm! Da Mei! Stay calm! The enemy is in a hurry."

Still tearing...

LQS didn't dare breathe on Qin Hao, so he decisively sprayed the breath onto LWX, who was secretly laughing.

"Did you hear that, lwx?"

Why the hell did you bring me up?

"I'm afraid you'll send it."

"get out."

Xx was watching from the back end, how could he dare to send a gift? Or rather, even if he wanted to manipulate things, he would give prior notice to avoid being in the wrong.

After observing the opponent's four picks, Qin Hao knew he needed to be wary of Neeko in this game, and it would be best to bring some crowd control. After thinking it over, Qin Hao offered, "Give me Annie, how about that?"

Cvmax: "Choose whichever suits you best."

Although it wasn't the first time he'd seen Mike show favoritism, lwx still pouted every time he heard it.

of course.

This isn't about having a problem with anyone; it's just that I wasn't the one being favored.

As Annie and Mantis were added on the fourth and fifth floors, Cat asked, "...Only Ning is left, what should we add?"

"Vi? No problem, after all, Neeko and Sion can both engage, and if they keep up with the damage, they can take down enemy units."

"Judging by the lineup, the right side seems stronger, but looking at the IDs..."

"What do you mean? My IDs, Rookie and TheShy, aren't they famous enough?" Cat said, sounding indignant on behalf of the mid and top laners.

"I didn't say above average, you did."

Guan Zeyuan turned the tables on him.

"Oh, so you were talking about the bot lane." Cat followed the logic: "It means that Southwind and Puff are no good. Even if the combination is good, it won't work—you're a supporter of the blue buff!"

C-Bo: !!!

He couldn't keep up with the exchange, but secretly wished the two of them could be even sharper.

"I've always believed that a good commentator should dare to make judgments."

Guan Zeyuan knew what the audience wanted to hear, so he chose to stick to his guns: "I'm telling you this, it's hard to count on Ashe on the right. It's not that I don't believe in Puff, but with Camille + Annie + Kha'Zix, it's hard for your backline to hold."

To put it bluntly, this game will really test Puff; he can't afford to make a mistake.

"Got it... it's protecting the wink."

"..."

"Hahahahaha."

"It's not even 9 o'clock yet, why is the cafeteria open?"

"You idiot Su Xiaoluo, draw your card!"

"My assessment is that neither Wink nor Puff is as good as Huanfeng."

"This is what gacha is like, right? Do you guys have gacha games like this?"

"You've misunderstood Su Xiaoluo. She's just worried that other teams won't achieve good results, so she's sending talent out into society."

"Talent? He himself is a talent."

"I'll be laughing my head off in the comments sooner or later."

"..."

While allocating talent points.

Qin Hao kept checking repeatedly, closing and reopening the page.

This is his habit; before each game, he mentally recreates the scenario so that his movement and transitions are smoother.

During the loading phase, the two sides are as follows—

TES (Blue) Top: Camille, Jungle: Kha'Zix, Mid: Annie, Bot: Ezreal (Heal) paired with Nautilus (Exhaust)

IG (Red) Top: Sion, Jungle: Vi, Mid: Neeko, Bot: Ashe (Cleanse) + Braum (Exhaust)
I glanced at the opposing team's lineup a few times.

When Qin Hao regained his composure, he felt a sense of not wanting the script to deviate from its intended direction.

Whenever this happens, Qin Hao would press his tongue against his teeth to signal that he couldn't rush things and had to be a person, no matter how familiar he was with the other person, he had to wait for them to get on track.

after all…

Some mistakes are forgivable, others are not, especially those stemming from a lack of focus—those are the most regrettable. So even if you're feeling hot and eager to play, you should still give yourself a little reminder, whether you need to or not…
