LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 44: Insightful Commentary from a League Streamer!
But any rising star will inevitably encounter some interference from the old as it rises.

Top streamers from various LPL leagues have polarized opinions about Wang Yao.

People took to their respective social media accounts to offer a series of sharp criticisms of Wang Yao.

PDD, a retired player and legend of the IG team, shared his thoughts on Wang Yao on Panda TV.

"Brothers, let me tell you, Kshine is a really good player. In the first two months, he crushed all the top players in the Korean server."

“Even IG’s substitute ADJKL got beaten up several times. At the time, we couldn’t even find out which club he was from, and we even sent him a trial invitation.”

"We only found out a few days ago that it was Wang Yao. That kid's several Korean server accounts combined are almost 10,000 points!"

"Brothers, this is terrifying! If he wanted to, he could take all ten spots in the Korean server!"

When PDD (the "Sassy Pig") talked about this astonishing thing, he was incredibly envious.

Because Wang Yao had played a few games in the LSPL league, if someone poached him, he could sell him for millions... Unfortunately, this promising talent was targeted by Abu.

PDD is known as the "Principal of the Whampoa Military Academy of Esports" in the League of Legends esports circle, but in reality he is just a businessman who makes money by managing player contracts and has nothing to do with nurturing talent.

If a player achieves success in the LPL, he gains money, fame, and connections. Even if he doesn't achieve success, he won't lose much money.

At worst, we can just send them back to the LSPL league to continue making money. We can waive the food and lodging expenses for the young players, and the electricity cost for playing games won't be much.

If Wang Yao is a player under PDD's management and can maintain the form he showed in the three matches of the summer finals, then PDD will be rolling in money.

"To be honest, it's hard to say how much of Wang Yao's strength he can bring to the World Championship, but if he can maintain the form he showed that night, EDG's ceiling is the championship this year!"

"Even if they only have half the performance they had that night, EDG will have no problem making it past the quarterfinals and into the semifinals this year. I'm telling you!"

"Of course, the prerequisite for everything is to maintain the form. Young players can easily lose themselves after becoming famous overnight, so... it's too early to say."

Question first, then believe!
PDD's words excited his fans who were lurking in the live stream, causing them to surface and the chat to explode with comments.

Although PDD usually likes to joke around and do silly things in his live streams, his judgment when analyzing players' characteristics and abilities is quite accurate.

After all, he's a talent scout in the esports industry; without a good eye, he wouldn't be able to do this job.

"I've watched JKL's stream. This guy is fearless in the Korean server except when he encounters Kshine. He was so badly beaten by them the other day that he had to ask Ning to duo queue with him, hahaha!"

"As expected, the most powerful weapon for an ADC is the jungle. Since I can't beat you in lane, I'll just call for backup."

"My god... several Korean server accounts combined have 10,000 points, what kind of monster is this guy? Even a Korean server account with 1,000 points is amazing, and this guy has all of them?!"

"Great! EDG is now not only the MSI champion, but also the World Championship ceiling champion, and the number one team in the LPL!"

"..."

At this moment, the front row seats on Zhanqi TV and the live stream room of Deyunse were packed with LOL players.

Xiaoxiao and Xika also took advantage of the e-sports craze and talked about the player Kshine in front of everyone.

XiaoXiao and XiKa have both played the support role in the LPL, and their comments on AD carry players are more accurate.

They can tell at a glance who the professional shockwave fighters are.

"Many people may not understand what it means to dominate Uzi in three consecutive games in the LPL finals." "Let me put it this way: since the LPL was founded, only four people have been able to exert this kind of dominance: Smile, Deft, Imp, and Nami."

"But unfortunately, WeiXiao, Imp, and Nami are no longer good. Deft went back to the LCK region, and now Uzi is the best bot laner in the LPL. There's nothing wrong with that."

In the live stream, Xiaoxiao made no attempt to hide her admiration for Wang Yao's performance.

"Give this young man some more time, and I believe the LPL's bot lane will be even more competitive than the LCK's! We might even have a chance to win the championship this year!"

Seeing the intense reaction in the comment section, Xiaoxiao and Xika specifically picked out a few questions from viewers to answer.

The chat section reads: "PDD next door said EDG's ceiling is the championship, and you guys are praising Kshine's dominance of the LPL bot lane. How much did you get paid by Boss Zhu?"

Seeing this, the bald father chuckled, while his chubby son, Sika, was instantly amused and pointed at the comment, replying:
"I'm not taking any money! If you can crush Uzi three times in a row in the bot lane and dominate his Caitlyn with Tristana, I'll give you a 50 RMB red envelope, okay?"

Comment section: "How would you rate JKL, IG's last piece of the championship puzzle, and Kshine, EDG's savior?"

Upon seeing this question, Xiaoxiao touched her thinning bald patch and burst out laughing:

"JKL plays Draven like a brute every day on the Korean server and just self-destructs. Either he crashes the lane or the enemy crashes. Playing like that in a professional match is just feeding! You know that?"

Xika chimed in, "It's only because of the current Ardent Censer meta that everyone prioritizes protecting the AD carry. If this had happened in previous versions, it would have been a miracle if the mid and jungle hadn't been completely crushed by this guy!"

From the perspective of a professional support player, the standard data for measuring an ADC should not only look at their output, but also their ability to survive.

An ADC who constantly self-destructs is destined to fail, but an ADC who is afraid to deal damage will be labeled a coward.

Only AD players who can master both output and survivability deserve to be called top-tier ADCs.

Wang Yao's hexagonal data chart perfectly proves that he is such a player.

"..."

Meanwhile, Wu Wukai, the first retired player from the LPL, also kept up with current events on Douyu TV, chatting with fans about his evaluation of Wang Yao.

As Uzi's old teammate and buddy, Wu Wukai naturally stood on Uzi's side without a doubt, and praised and supported Uzi in a series of ways.

"You may not know what it means for an 18-year-old player to reach the World Finals twice and win the runner-up title. We usually only use two words to describe this kind of person: genius!"

After retreating tactically, Wu Wukai said in a serious tone, "Back then, Piglet's sneaky Q through minions was just luck. He won because of Faker."

"So what if Samsung White SSW crushed Royal Club? Now imp is still here in the LPL begging for a living, living off a bottom-tier team."

"But what about Uzi? He has been competing in the World Championships for many years and has maintained his peak performance. That's what makes a top-tier ADC player!"

"Just you wait, it shouldn't be a problem for RNG to break into the top four this year. If Uzi could practice Xayah again, that would be the final blow. Unfortunately... he can't practice her."

Wu Wukai shook his head. Uzi felt that Xayah was a meta trap, so he didn't plan to practice this AD champion. He didn't know if it was true or not.

But this is ultimately the player's personal choice, so Wu Wukai shouldn't say too much.

As soon as Wu Wukai finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded, and the clash between black and white pieces reached a fever pitch.
