LOL: The world’s best red-temperature mid laner!

The client now has a different style and background; the image of TES winning the championship last year has been used as the client's background.

The news pages were all about TES winning the championship.

Just then, it was time to queue and get into the BP screen.

Ah Shui reminded everyone, "Have you all bought the skins? Don't log in and find you haven't."

Lü Yi then realized that he hadn't bought the champion skin yet.

So he chose to click "decline to enter the game".

After waiting in line for automatic cancellation, I went to the store, and sure enough, the champion skin was already available!
There are several types: a single regular skin, a single signature skin, and a complete set of regular skins or a complete set of signature skins.

Lü Yi simply bought himself a regular one.

The live stream chat was flooded with messages:
"Dude, are you kidding me? Are you trying to be this frugal?"

Are you really that short of money? You probably earn hundreds of millions a year now.

[Yi Shen earns hundreds of millions a year, yet he can't bear to spend a few dozen yuan on skins; some people earn three thousand yuan a month, yet they buy skins one after another.]

[Yi Shen is so stingy, it reminds me of the former League of Legends god, Faker.]

It seems that great athletes all have great personalities.

When Lü Yi saw these comments, he couldn't hold back: "I bought a single one just because I didn't want to boost sales for others. What are you thinking?"

This remark displeased the others.

Xiao Tian complained, "Yi Shen, we all heard that. You're not treating us like brothers anymore."

Meiko also complained, "I was originally thinking of asking you to help me advertise and ride on your popularity, Yi Shen, you're so heartless."

Ah Shui said, "Yi Shen is trying to save money for his fans. If he calls on fans to buy the whole set, he doesn't want to do that."

369, who was watching the scene unfold, exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, that makes some sense. Could it really be true?"

The chat in Lü Yi's live stream was buzzing:
Holy crap, is that amazing?

[That's it, now Top Esports has two great achievements.]

Everyone was amazing!

Are you guys faking it or are you serious? You can even criticize Yi Shen?

Lü Yi was too lazy to explain. Sometimes audiences are like that; they pretend not to understand what you mean, and the more you explain, the more they pretend not to understand.

After everyone was ready, they went into the room to continue queuing.

Soon, it was time to queue and enter the BP phase.

Everyone started choosing heroes at their own pace.

The good news is that the opposing team doesn't have any champion skins for BANTES, so everyone can get the champion they want.

But soon, something outrageous happened.

TES had just picked their heroes when the opposing team instantly killed them.

Pheasant J muttered, "Huh? What does that mean? How did it get done in a second?"

Meiko analyzed, "It's possible that the opposing team recognized our lineup and knew we were playing in a five-player squad."

"Didn't you see the event announcements when you were playing the game? Everyone knew we were playing a five-man champion lineup tonight."

There's no other way but to open it again.

After entering the BP phase, this time it was even more outrageous than the last time.

On the opposite side, on the first floor, they locked onto Quesanti and stole the hero from the pheasant.

The pheasant was utterly speechless: "Wait, what do you mean? You won't let me play?"

Meiko laughed and said, "Haha, who told you to pick such a popular hero? Now, whether it's players or the game, everyone in the top lane is playing Quesanti."

The pheasant asked, "So what do we do now? Have I bought it? Should we wait a few minutes and continue?"

Ah Shui had a different opinion: "It doesn't feel right. All five of our heroes are still pretty good in the current version. It's quite difficult for the opponent not to pick any of them."

"We've already won this game. We'll probably encounter this situation again in the next game. Let's keep playing. It's not like all five of us need to have championship skins. We'll play a few more games, and eventually we'll be able to get one."

Everyone felt that Ah Shui's words made sense, so they continued with the draft.

However, something even more outrageous happened: TES got Wukong and Yone in the mid and jungle on the first and second floors.

The opposing team snatched Zeli and Lenata away.

Lü Yi sensed something was wrong: "I have a feeling the other side is doing this on purpose; it seems like they're trying to steal our heroes."

Pheasant stirring up trouble: "It must have been intentional. It can't be such a coincidence. Brothers, let's crush them this round!"

Meiko teased, "Chicken, haven't felt like winning a game in a long time, have you? Come on, we'll help you rediscover that feeling this time."

369 burst out laughing: "Is he really that pitiful?"

There was no other way, so TES's bot lane had to pick other champions, choosing Draven and Thresh.

Draven has a very comfortable time against Zeli in the early game. Zeli is most afraid of opponents who don't farm with her and want to fight as soon as they meet.

Xiao Tian was slightly excited: "You're getting serious, Ah Shui. This game will depend on the bot lane's performance."

After the lineup is selected, a loading screen will appear.

Meiko suddenly burst out laughing: "Wenbo, look at the other side, what's their ID in the bottom lane?"

Lu Yi glanced at it and saw that Ze Li's ID on the other end was Nantong Yu Wenbo.

Lu Yi joked, "Wenbo, the enemy bot lane has a hater, aren't you going to mess with him?"

Ah Shui remarked, "This is clearly a fan, how could they be a hater?"

Xiao Tian stopped pretending: "He already said you're from Nantong, so are you a fan?"

Ah Shui replied, "Nantong is a place name, thank you."

"Look at the enemy mid laner's ID, Tongliao GodWu, isn't that Yi Shen's fan?"

Lu Yi glanced at it and realized it was true. He then explained, "He's obviously a fan of sewing machines. He's talking about Wu Shen, the one in jail."

Xiao Tian laughed hysterically: "You two are too clever for yourselves. Are you afraid you can't beat your own fans?"

However, as soon as the game started, the other side sent a message.

Tongliao GodWu: "God Yi, I'm your fan! God Yi, I'm your fan, I'm not a fan of the sewing machine."

Nantong Wenbo: "Wenbo, wanna date, Wenbo?"

Meiko laughed and said, "Hahaha, he's serious. I suspect he's watching our stream. They're deliberately stealing our heroes."

As expected, the opposing team admitted it outright; they had deliberately stolen the hero.

Ah Shui stopped pretending: "Since that's the case, then we don't need to hold back anymore, let's do it!"

Although they knew the opposing team was watching the live stream, all five members of TES still chose to group up and invade together.

It doesn't matter if the other side sees it; that's just confidence.

As long as you operate it correctly, it will be fine.

Sure enough, the other side was indeed lying in ambush, trying to catch us off guard.

Ah Shui's Draven was walking in front, just to seduce the enemy.

He was then controlled by Lenata, and the five opponents emerged from the bushes to focus fire on him.

Ah Shui was prepared; once the purification process began, he retreated.

The teammates swarmed in.

On the contrary, the other side was surrounded.

Meiko laughed and said, "You guys are too naive. Did you really think we'd be ambushed so easily?"

However, the opposing team stopped pretending and continued to chase and beat Wenbo.

Wenbo's health was low, so he used Flash to retreat.

The five opponents flashed in together to deal damage.

They actually beat Wenbo to death!

However, Lü Yi's Yongen also managed to build up his wind attack, and he used it on the other side, blowing up four people.

Although TES has fewer players now, they are in better form.

Furthermore, Lü Yi and Yong En had already stacked Lethal Tempo, resulting in very high damage output in close combat. They simultaneously dealt damage and kited to avoid being focused down, ultimately achieving a 1-for-5 trade in the level 1 team fight!

Lü Yi secured two kills and three assists, leading to a resounding victory!
Ah Shui complained, "Why do they have to kill me? Can't they just kill someone else?"

He only got one assist!
They all had the same score as the opposing team.

On the TES side, the worst result is three assists.

No one else has tried it yet.

The chat in Lü Yi's live stream was flooded with messages:
[Classic, unambitious approach – do you understand the true value of an ADC initiating team fights with their bare hands?]

[This is so entertaining! Wenbo, why are you like this even in casual games?]

This ID has an extremely high level of animosity.

[Wenbo is different from Yishen. Yishen has high aggro but is hard to kill, while Wenbo is easy to kill, so the opposing team targets him relentlessly.]

[I admit it, these five people are Top Esports fans.]

At this moment in the game, the other side is also typing:

"We can lose the team fight, but Wenbo must die!"

"It's worth it, as long as Wenbo is killed."

"I hereby declare that we have won this team fight."

Now that Chicken was having a great time, he shouted, "Awesome, brothers! I haven't felt like this in a long time. As soon as the team fight starts, the other side completely ignores me. I can attack whoever I want."

Meiko laughed and said, "Haha, you must be the kind of person who gets targeted in NIP, right?"

"Besides the chickens, it's mainly targeting you."

Pheasant replied, "Yeah, the enemy just mindlessly spams my skills, especially after Chicken dies, I become their biggest target, it's so annoying."

Perhaps it was because the opposing team was so skilled, the popularity of TES's live stream began to soar.

Lü Yi can see the data in the backend; now, more than two million people are watching her live stream!
This refers to the number of people, not the so-called popularity.

These are all potential buyers of skin

Of course, Lü Yi wouldn't directly tell his fans to buy it. He knew his fans were very loyal, and if he gave the order, they would do everything they could to get a set.

There's no need for that; those who want to buy will buy it naturally.

Once the laning phase began, the skill gap between the two sides became apparent.

Needless to say, we'll dominate the mid and bottom lanes.

The same applies to the top lane, although Shanji isn't exactly outstanding among LPL top laners.

However, in casual games, it's easy to beat most high-ranking players.

In the bottom lane, Wenbo and Meiko secured a kill at level three.

Meiko cheered, "Nice! You got your revenge, Wenbo! It was the enemy ADC who got your first blood!"

Ah Shui gave the enemy support a kill marker: "Continue to tower dive, support killed too."

So the two went up to climb the tower, but then an absurd scene unfolded.

Ah Shui carried the tower first, but didn't control the order in which he carried it.

But Ah Shui didn't want to give up so easily and chose to continue playing.

The damage wasn't enough! He was killed by the turret first.

That wasn't the end of it. The enemy support had a sliver of health left, and Meiko wanted to kill the enemy first.

However, the enemy's late-arriving minions have leveled up!

Meiko already had no damage output, and the increased health from the enemy directly resulted in him not being able to deal enough damage, leading to his death from the turret and a double kill by the enemy support.

Xiao Tian was shocked: "Huh? No, what are you two doing? The enemy support got a double kill in a 1v2 situation?"

Meiko watched Ah Shui all day without saying a word.

Ah Shui proactively explained, "It's mine, this wave is mine, I tanked the tower."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments:
[Jack, stop tanking the tower! Why are you, an ADC, always tanking the tower?]

[This is so classic! My teammates dive the tower while I tank the damage, why are you always so lucky?]

I feel like I see this scene all the time during Top Esports' matches.

All I can say is, this is Wenbo!

The warhorses standing behind were on high alert, after all, the sales of this skin could determine the amount of his prize money.

So he was really looking forward to it, and he was overjoyed to see that everyone's live streams were going so well.

Moreover, he can contact Fujii's people, find out roughly how many skins have been sold, and get access to backend data.

The live stream is still going on. Although the bottom laner was killed twice by the support, it did not affect his ability to dominate the lane.

In the mid lane, Lü Yi also secured a solo kill when he reached level four.

And it happened right in front of the enemy jungler.

The live stream chat was flooded with messages:
[Yi Shen, the other side is your fan, go easy on them.]

Don't let the opposing team lose fans.

If you play like that, the opposing team won't buy your skins anymore; they'll only buy the skins for the other four characters.

It's alright, the weak don't deserve to be Yi Shen's fans.

The opposing team is on the verge of collapse; they can't win on any lane.

Suddenly, a major tactic was initiated: the bottom lane switched lanes, and the jungler went to the top lane, resulting in a four-man gank on Shanji.

After being caught and killed by four people, Shanji exclaimed, "What's going on? Are they abandoning their jungle and bottom lane? Why are they targeting me?"

Xiao Tian laughed and said, "Shanji, you seem to have forgotten that even though we play in the game, during team fights, the two carries draw fire, so the top laner can have a very comfortable time."

"But during the laning phase, if the opponent can't make any progress in the mid and bot lanes, they'll relentlessly target the top lane. Didn't you just get messed up like that?"

The pheasant remembered!

It really is like that; bitter memories flood my mind.

Those days I spent imprisoned under the tower...

Suddenly I realized it wasn't so bad. Even though I was in jail, I could still win the game and take the championship.

Now you don't have to go to jail, but you can't win the game, so what's the point?

The opposing team continued to target the top lane, and although they succeeded repeatedly, their overall disadvantage grew larger and larger, with a 10,000 gold deficit emerging within fifteen minutes.

The rest of the time was spent playing around and hitting each other casually.
Ultimately, TES destroyed the enemy's fountain in twenty minutes.

The opposing team even suggested that TES should spawn camp and not push, as they wanted to play a little longer.

However, TES did not do that and chose to end the game in one fell swoop.

After that, we started the second round.

By the fourth game, TES had finally assembled all five championship champion heroes!

They feel that passersby are deliberately portraying them as heroes and are watching their live streams.

So getting this championship lineup is really not easy.

Upon entering the game screen, five people stand together for a group display.

Consider it a form of advertising.

The live stream continued until midnight. Although Lü Yi had been hinting for an hour that he wanted to end the stream, the viewers wouldn't let him.

It's now midnight, and Lü Yi said, "Brothers, that's the end of today's live stream. I'm logging off now. You guys should get some rest too, it's very late."

The audience frantically pleaded for them to stay:

【No way! If you stream for another hour, our team will buy another skin.】

Brothers, let's shower them with gifts and buy them skins, so Yi Shen can keep streaming!

[It's only midnight, isn't that early? You professional players usually finish your streams around 2 or 3 AM.]

Lü Yi did not continue broadcasting and ended the broadcast directly. (End of this chapter)
