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

Chapter 623: Winning Every Game of Teamfight Tactics! Livestream Showcases Strategic Gameplay!

Hide on bush (third floor): OK.

Thus, their conversation ended.

But after their conversation ended, the other three teammates on the same side started talking more closely.

You can tell how excited these three teammates are from the string of exclamation marks they sent!
Faker is alright.

People who frequently play high-elo games on the Korean server will likely encounter him quite often.

But Wang Yao is different!
Trying to run into him in a ranked game is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing!
But once you encounter one, it means you've found a reliable ally!

And that's about it.

A mournful wail suddenly rang out not far behind Wang Yao!
"Holy crap! How come Faker's on the other team? Wait, Yao-ge? When did you log in? Holy crap! This isn't fair!! Is this even fair?!"

You could tell from his voice that Ah Shui was having a mental breakdown.

It's like a world boxing champion practicing real boxing.

At first, he thought that his training partners would be legendary fighters like Tyson at most.

When they actually went on stage, they discovered that Megatron was standing right in front of them.

In every sense, it's pretty explosive.

At this moment, the chat in the live stream room exploded with comments!

"Huh? It really is Brother Shui and his group on the other side?"

"Hilarious! This ranked game was absolutely hilarious!"

"Yao-ge: You've dealt a heavy blow to my teammate!"

"Go for it, Shuizi! If you take down Yao this time, you'll be the new team tyrant of EDG! You'll rise to the top!"

"Even though I can't see it, I can already imagine the pain on Jack's face right now, haha, let him experience what EDG's opponents are going through!"

"Alright, alright, I thought it would be an ordinary ranking match, but I never expected to have several of you hidden talents and promising young prodigies at the same time (winking)."

"..."

at the same time.

News of this Rank game spread online almost instantly!

Countless people began to flock in to watch the battle.

What a great Korean server ranked game.

The simultaneous existence of these few people has sent the hype soaring to unprecedented heights!

Headlines like "Double Gods Team Up" and "EDG Internal War" are flying everywhere!
In the training room.

Seeing Ah Shui's utterly dejected expression, Meiko, not far away, smiled and said, "Go for it, Yu Wenbo! Beat Old Wang and prove yourself."

"really."

Saint Gun was grinning from ear to ear, jokingly saying, "It's time to show the strength of EDG's bot lane!"

They had just finished their last ranked game, which conveniently avoided Wang Yao and his team's game.

"go."

Ah Shui waved his hand speechlessly, thought for a moment, and looked at Wang Yao expectantly, saying, "Brother Yao, can we make a deal? Don't gank me this round?"

"of course."

Faced with Ah Shui's request, Wang Yao nodded naturally: "That's impossible."

"Depend on!"

In ranked games, the draft phase is actually quite flexible.

The selection process was also quick.

After Ah Shui secured the classic Draven + Thresh combination, Wang Yao calmly picked Akali for mid lane.

Then enter the game.

The game started normally for both sides.

They're both high-ranking players on the Korean server, so their skill levels aren't that different, and their basic laning skills are pretty good.

Ah Shui's team even gained the upper hand!

The Draven and Thresh combo was excellent, seizing the opportunity to force out the double summoner spells of Wang Yao's AD carry!
As for Faker's support.

It has to be said that he actually plays support quite well.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a professional, and with a random teammate, there was really no coordination, making the game feel very restrictive.

As he played, he started to roam with the jungler and didn't care much about his own AD carry.

This allowed Ah Shui to develop smoothly in the bottom lane, and he even cooperated with his jungler to dive a tower, demonstrating his passive ability!
but.

Everything started to go wrong after the six-minute mark.

Akali kills Twisted Fate!
Akali kills Xin Zhao!
"..."

As time went by, kill notifications kept popping up!
There was a kill almost every minute. In short, as the bottom lane was playing, the kill score became 7:1!

And judging from the current situation, it's far from over!
Bottom lane.

Just then, Ah Shui had sent the opposing team back to base, and excitedly devoured the fourth layer of plating before it disappeared, and then...

He then heard a nightmarish notification sound!

"Godlike!"

"what?"

Ah Shui's expression froze, and he subconsciously dragged the camera to the mid lane.

Watching helplessly as Wang Yao's Akali used her Thunder God technique to escape the tower, while his own mid-laner Twisted Fate had once again become a corpse under the tower.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Shui took a deep breath and pressed the Tab key to open the scoreboard.

Behind Akali's portrait on the other side, the glaring 8-0 score was practically blinding him!

Then, groans echoed through the training room once again: "No way! What's the point of playing like this?!"

This is completely baffling!
In less than 15 minutes, an Akali was about to become a godlike!
What the hell is he supposed to do in the bot lane?!

Faced with something like this, a normal AD player would probably only feel despair.

And in fact, this feeling is indeed correct.

Although Akali has been nerfed by the designers ever since her rework.

Even so, in this version, he still poses an immense threat to the back row!

Not to mention, she's an Akali whose development is almost unbelievable!

Soon, the laning phase ended, and the game entered the resource-gathering phase.

From that moment on, Ah Shui's screams almost never stopped.

"Akali! Akali's here! Hey guys, protect me from behind!!!"

"No, no, no! Brother Yao! Give me a chance!!"

"No way, you think you can fight back with this little bit of blood? I'll slash you once... Wait! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how come you have invincibility? That's too much!"

And finally...

Eighteen minutes.

A team fight on the mid lane high ground.

When Wang Yao's Akali used an incredibly flashy Flying Thunder God technique to cut through the enemy ranks and take down Draven, Ah Shui breathed a sigh of relief and casually threw away the mouse in his hand.

"send!!"

A devastating team fight ended, and at nineteen minutes, the enemy base exploded, allowing Wang Yao's team to secure the victory.

"How to say?"

From his seat, Wang Yao glanced at Ah Shui and smiled leisurely: "Want to play another round and snipe me?"

"cough……"

Ah Shui coughed lightly, his words tinged with dissatisfaction: "Of course! But I'm hungry now, I need to go get something to eat first. Next time, next time for sure!"

Again?

Is he some kind of masochist?!

To summarize Ah Shui's evaluation of this game, in three words: "Fuck you!"

Do you know how much damage an Akali who can get a godlike streak in just over ten minutes can do to a squishy AD carry?

Especially since the player controlling Akali is practically a cheat code!

That's impossible to play at all!
Make sense.

He was doing fine in the bot lane, farming minions and pushing the tower, when suddenly a godlike Akali appeared and killed him in two quick moves. Who can he complain to?

This lousy game is for whoever wants to play it, I'm not going to play it anymore!

……

at the same time.

The chat in Wang Yao's live stream was filled with a dense barrage of comments!
"Holy crap! Infighting within EDG confirmed, substitutes brutally beat the starting duo, the scene was horrific!!"

"Hey upstairs! You're coming to work at UC Shocking News Department tomorrow!"

"Hilarious! Poor Jack, some people can bring so much joy even though they're not in the live stream (winking)"

"To be fair, Brother Shui's live stream was quite successful."

"I can't help but laugh when I think about it, that 'Akali is here' shout is absolutely iconic!"

"..."

Anyway.

This ranked game, at least in terms of entertainment value, was absolutely top-notch.

However, it's true that such coincidental matches are actually quite rare.

For example, in the next few games, Wang Yao encountered some professional players, but their fame wasn't as high.

Such as a substitute jungler for a certain team, an AD carry for a certain North American team, etc.

The same massacre scenario, but the entertainment value was far less than the very first game.

Furthermore, towards the end, the classic problem of not being able to find a match resurfaced.

It's unclear whether it's a system issue or if some high-ranking players on the Korean server chose not to continue playing during this time period.

"so be it."

After showing the audience videos for a while, Wang Yao closed the app, stretched in his seat, and said, "That's all for today. See you next time?"

"No!"

"Damn it! You've been standing me up for so long, and now you're trying to run away again?!"

"If all else fails, Yao-ge, why don't you try playing on the Canyon of Kings? There are a lot of people there."

"Joy, the pinnacle of acting? Do you believe that if Brother Yao pulls a fast one, everyone who opens a betting pool after him will go crazy with joy?"

"Then let's have a free-for-all! No one's allowed to leave!"

"What's the point of ARAM? If that's the case, you might as well play a Nightmare AI match, although it's not fun either."

"You know what, these entertainment modes in the league these days are pretty boring."

"..."

Looking at these comments, Wang Yao seemed to be deep in thought.

"Let's start a game of Teamfight Tactics!"

Although this game mode has only been online for a short time, it has undoubtedly created a craze throughout the country, no, it should be said that the world!
Even many players who had quit the game or had never played League of Legends before were drawn in by this mode!
It's fair to say that the release of Teamfight Tactics directly propelled League of Legends to new heights in popularity!
"Everyone."

While operating the mouse, Wang Yao said leisurely, "Then let's play chess today."

On the public chat, a dense barrage of comments scrolled by.

"Okay, okay, this is fine!"

"Instead of going pro and making a name for yourself, you're stuck here as a small-time streamer playing chess?"

"Okay, hurry up and log off! I can't wait to see streamer Lao Ba get eliminated!"

"Indeed, I admit that your League of Legends skills are very strong, no less than mine! But when it comes to chess, hehehe!"

Looking at these comments, Wang Yao smiled without saying a word.

He used to be a Master tier player in Teamfight Tactics!

While I wouldn't call myself a top-tier player in Teamfight Tactics, it's important to remember that this mode has only been available for a few months!
If I had to put it in perspective, this would undoubtedly be a form of dimensional reduction attack.

With their superior operational capabilities and understanding of the game, it's unlikely they'll fail, at least in the short term.

And that was indeed the case. In the first game, under the watchful eyes of countless viewers, Wang Yao immediately started a losing streak and squandered his economy.

Unsuspecting viewers, seeing him constantly losing health, assumed he was playing poorly and was about to be eliminated.

As a result, after clearing the 3-6 jungle monsters, Wang Yao immediately started making moves!
With fluid and effortless leveling up, rolling for cards, changing lineups, and combining equipment, a terrible Wild build was transformed into a fully formed Wild Empire in just one round!

From this point onward, they won every single game and secured a chicken dinner with their health in the game!

"what?!"

The screen was immediately filled with question marks!
"Holy crap? What kind of move is this?"

"My hands were too fast, I didn't see it clearly... What's going on? How did it turn into a completely different lineup in the blink of an eye?"

"Huh? What happened to the plan that if we kept losing, Old Eight would be eliminated?!"

"Damn it! This is definitely not Yao-ge's first time playing chess! Chang Wei, you still say you don't know martial arts!"

Undoubtedly, this move left many viewers somewhat bewildered.

however.

This is just the beginning!
In the following games, Wang Yao continued to demonstrate his advanced strategy and team composition.

While others were still playing conventional lineups like six nobles or six swordsmen.

Wang Yao, on the other hand, was already playing with all sorts of fancy and advanced advanced lineups!
Various strategies like the Bird Shield, Ninja Assassin, Void Assassin, and Wild Shapeshifter are constantly being used to win in PUBG!

It was so dazzling that the viewers in the live stream were amazed and exclaimed "666!"

"Wow, you can do that?!"

"I got another chicken dinner! How many chicken dinners in a row now?!"

"Brother Yao isn't just shirking his duties, he's clearly a top-tier Go player!"

"Tell me the truth! You usually substitute and don't play, is it just so you can study chess?!"

"With such a strong streamer, is he planning to switch to playing Teamfight Tactics professionally?"

"..."

It's clear that Wang Yao's moves have had a significant impact on everyone.

It's worth noting that many viewers initially tuned in to watch the live stream expecting to see 'Brother Yao being tortured'!

However, reality turned out to be the complete opposite of what they had imagined!
It's like the surreal feeling of LeBron James playing soccer and then winning the World Cup.

In short.

As people watched, what started as mere entertainment turned into watching pro players showcase their skills, learning techniques, and understanding team compositions.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

Three hours later, Wang Yao crossed his arms and stretched: "The host is going to eat now, everyone, see you tomorrow."

Despite the barrage of messages pleading with him to stay, such as "Don't leave, streamer!" and "Play a little longer!", he still decisively closed the live streaming app.

For a moment, the entire live stream went black.

But the live stream has ended, but that doesn't mean the impact of this chess game has also ended!
That night, lineups created from Wang Yao's live stream began to circulate.

Various posts are also flooding forums and other online communities.

Oh my god! The number one esports player in League of Legends is about to switch to Teamfight Tactics? Click to see details

"It's one thing for Yao Ge to be so strong in League of Legends, but why is he so freakish at chess? Wow, is he really a genius?"

Team composition is secondary; let's analyze the real reason why Yao Ge can win every game—strategy!

"..."

time flies.

Three more days passed, and it was May 31st.

And tomorrow, June 1st, is Children's Day.

This day also holds considerable significance for the entire LPL teams and countless viewers.

Yes, the Summer Split is about to begin!
Players from various teams returned to their clubs early, ending their second-longest vacation of the year, and threw themselves back into intensive training and familiarizing themselves with the new version.

And relatively.

Online, the league esports scene, which had been quiet for quite some time, has started to heat up again!
The most obvious thing is resistance.

There have been no matches lately, and the posts in the forum have been just rehashing old ideas.

It's nothing more than analyzing the S10 World Championship today, analyzing the strength of teams from various regions tomorrow, and then adding some news about the summer transfer period.

In short: It has absolutely no nutritional value.

The guys on the forum are just here to kill time, they're bored out of their minds.

But today!
The atmosphere has clearly changed!
The top-ranked post on the homepage is: "Summer Split Schedule Confirmed, EDG to Kick Off Day 1!"

Click on it to see the schedule posted by the original poster.

On June 1st, the first match was between EDG and VG!

Last year, after iboy left EDG, he joined VG and became the team's "orphanage director," serving as their carry AD carry.

The second match, also on June 1st, will be between FPX and JDG!

Compared to the first match, this one is undoubtedly more eye-catching, and the intensity of both sides is much closer!
"No, EDG's match isn't until the third day?"

"I don't care when EDG plays, I only care whether Yao will play or not when EDG plays!"

"That's right! I'm really torn about whether or not to buy tickets for the event!"

"Don't worry about it, I just checked, it's already sold out..."

"Damn! It really is!"

Just as countless viewers were eagerly anticipating the event, and all the teams were gearing up for the competition.

June 1st finally arrived as scheduled.

Shanghai, Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center.

As the most prestigious esports venue in the LPL, it boasts a full range of performance facilities, including a four-sided, three-layer central funnel screen, a double-layer 360-degree surround screen, and imported EV line array speakers!

It can fully meet all the requirements for the LPL Summer Split opening ceremony!
2 p.m.

The players from all the LPL teams had already boarded their respective club buses and entered the venue.

What awaited them was a complete process of makeup and rehearsal.

Outside the venue.

Countless spectators from all over the country have created a scene of massive crowds!

Some of the viewers even traveled from abroad specifically to join the domestic audience in chatting enthusiastically about the teams they were interested in.

At this time, backstage.

The players from the dozen or so teams who had just finished rehearsing gathered together, chatting and joking around, creating a cheerful atmosphere.

"EdG's opening match, Tianye, are you under a lot of pressure?"

"What kind of pressure could we possibly be under? You should ask the other side."

"That makes sense, but VG seems to be in a bit of a predicament. They played EDG on the first day, and now they have to play EDG again on the third day. Is the intensity really that high right from the start?"

"Huh? No way, it's that bad?"

"Look, the schedule is already out."

"Holy crap, it really is! What an outrageous schedule!"

"Awesome, all I can say is: Welcome to LPL, hahaha!"

"..."

Time passed again as the contestants chatted.

Soon, staff members came over to remind everyone to get ready, as the show was about to begin.

It was 3:30 p.m.

The venue opened early, and countless spectators poured in!

For a moment, the entire venue seemed to be filled with a cacophony of noise!

At the same time, countless online live streaming channels were also connected.

Both domestic and international viewers flocked to the live stream!

Of course, for now, they can only see the advertisements, since the opening ceremony hasn't officially started yet.

Even so, the chat in the live stream started to get denser with comments.

"I admire LPL for this. Damn, they've been doing this for ages, and they haven't repeated a single ad!"

"What do you know? This just means we have a lot of big spenders!" (winking)

"Hey, hurry up, hurry up, skip this!"

"No way! Where are they?! I specifically hid in the bathroom to watch the live stream, just to see you guys put on ads?!"

"Here it comes, it's finally about to begin!"

"..."

Amidst the barrage of comments...

on site.

Inside the venue, one by one the lights were quietly turned off, and the entire venue gradually fell into darkness.

The tens of thousands of spectators in the stands realized what was happening and all fell silent.

Suddenly.

Boom!
The familiar sound of war drums resounded!

As if the curtain had been drawn, a sky full of bright white spotlights converged on the main stage!

What greeted the eyes of all the audience members was a podium above the main stage, and on the podium was the familiar silver dragon trophy!

Clearly, there won't be any returning of the trophy this time.

"Two dragons encircle it, shining brightly!"

As the familiar voice of the host rang out, under the gaze of countless people, Yu Shuang, dressed in a light green cheongsam, walked towards the center of the stage, microphone in hand:
"The Silver Dragon Cup has witnessed the glory and history of the LPL, and now it has returned here, back to where the LPL dream began!"

As she spoke, she finally walked to the side of the trophy, faced it directly, and said with a smile:

"Welcome everyone! To the opening ceremony of the 2020 League of Legends LPL Summer Split! I'm your host, Yu Shuang!"

The words fell.

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

Offstage, countless spectators gave them a round of cheers in a very respectful manner!

Yes, a new journey has begun!

Yu Shuang slightly raised her chin and raised her voice:
"Knowing why we came, and thinking about where we are going, the LPL continues to move forward, and all the players will continue to shine on this stage!"

At this point, she lowered her voice again and said with a gentle smile, "I believe that both the audience here and those watching the live stream are already impatient, so I hereby announce..."

As she spoke, Yu Shuang raised one hand high, then swung it down!
"2020 League of Legends LPL Summer Split! Now, let's begin!!"

bang——

As if on cue, the lights in the entire venue went out once again.

Correspondingly, images began to appear on the large screen on the main stage.

At the same time, accompanied by fast-paced drumbeats, a rousing background music resounded throughout the entire venue.

Welcome to the LPL 2020 Summer Split!

The first thing to appear on the screen was none other than the Haier Brothers and Miller Dolls!
Immediately afterwards, the camera began to switch scenes continuously.

Rita, wearing headphones and a serene smile, said, "This is still the stage you all know and love."

Guan Zeyuan gave a thumbs-up to the camera: "New voices will continue to emerge here!"

Wang Duoduo spread his arms wide and said with a smile, "The Summer Tournament officially begins!"

At this point, the screen rotates, and one exciting scene after another flashes across the big screen!

Images of countless contestants began to flash by!
Kshine, The Shy, Scout, Liu Qingsong, Xiaoming, and everyone else looked at the camera with determined eyes!
"This is a place where miracles never fail!"

"The outcome is uncertain; anything is possible!"

The background music also came to an end at this point...

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, all the images converged, ultimately focusing on a massive silver dragon trophy!

Several bold, vigorous characters also appeared one after another.

—A fearless call to arms!
