LOL: I just turned 18, let me fight back and be reborn

Chapter 300 Thanks to Ye Sheng for the Open Source! "The Tsar in the Opposite Direction!"

"What broke this time?"

Ye Bo pushed open the door and saw his teammates gathered together, grinning foolishly while holding their phones.

"Master Ye is back!"

"Master Ye! My Bin brother is super spicy again!"

When Ye Bo saw the post-match interviews with the losers that were still going on on the big screen, he probably already guessed what was going on.

I didn't even need to search for it after getting my phone back; the post-match forum was full of real-time updates.

We also saw Chen Zebin's latest post-match comments.

Q: Before yesterday's match, you showed great confidence in today's result, but unfortunately you still couldn't win. What do you think went wrong?
{Bin: I don't really feel anything, I just feel like I'm not very lucky}
Q: You've always been a very confident player. Now that the team's winning streak has been broken, how will you adjust your mindset to face the upcoming matches?
Bin: I don't think there's anything that needs adjusting. It's just the regular season. Winning doesn't mean we're on the championship. Our goal this year is definitely the Summer Split and Worlds. We'll get our revenge on V5 in the playoffs finals!
Nowadays, when Chen Zebin posts on Weibo and BB Space, the management will try their best to prevent him from making any public appearances.

Just like a year ago when Ye Bo was still with EDG, Mingkai would watch Ye Bo's post-match interviews every day.

The difference between the two is that Ye Bo's so-called "explosive performances" not only did not offend people, but even became the cheers and interesting stories that fans and viewers talked about after the game.

Chen Zebin's statement was different.

Nine times out of ten, it's going to be a huge hit!

The most crucial point is that most of the other people's trash talk is just pre-match banter, at most a boomerang. Mr. Mingkai, the king of memes, is the best example. At most, it's just teasing and making people laugh.

Chen Zebin specializes in launching explosive attacks when the team is losing!
Of course, most viewers were already used to him and just watched it for fun.

The reason it suddenly went viral again is because someone posted a clip of Ye Bo's recent interview.

One of the interview questions was similar—the two questions instantly created a stark contrast!

Yu Shuang: Both sides were very confident before the match. Master Ye, you won the match smoothly today. How are you feeling now? Did you make any special preparations for today's match?
YE: Of course I'm happy! Mainly, my fans definitely want to see us win. They'd be so upset if they saw us lose, so we have to try our best to win every single match!
{YE: As for special preparations, there weren't any. Our whole team takes every match very seriously, treating each one as a stepping stone to the World Championship stage, and giving it our all.}
Fortunately, Ye Bo's interview on the main stage ended first, followed by the group interview for the losers.

Otherwise, many people would think that Ye Bo saw Chen Zebin's interview first and then deliberately launched an attack!

It's quite obvious that Ye Bo, who was the first to finish the interview, wasn't saying these things to criticize anyone; they were simply his genuine feelings.

The comments section below was unsurprisingly lively.

[Waaaaah, that's Master Ye for you! His words about how heartbroken the fans would be if they saw us lose are something all Team B should learn from!]

[It feels like Bin is a spinning top from Inception. Since his official debut in S10, he's been hit by all sorts of magic, from the Ox-Head and Horse-Face gods to the Holy Lance, making him spin more and more steadily, so he just can't get back to reality!]

[Case solved! Master Ye is actually a time traveler. He knew what Brother Bin was going to say after the match, so he made sarcastic remarks to him beforehand!]

[I'm a time machine, and I can vouch for what the person upstairs said—YE is a complete scoundrel!!]

[Bad luck, high latency, didn't eat a banana, still getting used to it, wrong version, terrible feel, mouse leaking electricity, water got into the keyboard, and then they called for a jungler and stole my kill! Who the hell changed my key bindings?]

[Summoner's Rift's iconic concepts: "Master Ye," "League Super," "World Flyer," "Off-Season Water"—and now, "Post-Match Bin"!]

[What about World Flying? World Flying is about to be buried in the ground!]

"Hey? It looks like Feifei is about to go on stage!" Xun, who was surfing the internet nearby, suddenly saw a newly uploaded news article and shouted.

"Really?" Ye Bo immediately leaned over to look.

That was a personnel reshuffle announcement just released by T1: "At the start of the next match, Faker will return to the bench!"

To be honest, T1's current situation can definitely be described as "standing on the edge of a cliff".

The LCK and LPL have different numbers of teams, so the LPL uses a single round-robin points system, while the LCK uses a double round-robin points system, with the top 10/top 6 teams advancing to the playoffs.

T1 has already completed 3 matches in the second cycle, and their current overall score is 3-9, ranking third from the bottom in the league.

They have now suffered a total of nine consecutive losses.

They couldn't even win one big game!

Although it's normal for the team's strength to decline after losing a key mid-lane player who wasn't well-integrated with the team, their decline is still unbelievable to everyone!

In fact, Faker originally planned to rest for another two weeks.

Since the opponents in the first few matches of the second round are still the other bottom-ranked teams, the four T1 players should be able to handle it.

Who knew that the second round of the competition would start with a score of 0-3 again!

They can't even beat the bottom-ranked team!
If T1 loses two more games, they will inevitably fail to make it into the top six in the regular season standings, and will be eliminated from the playoffs and prematurely eliminated for the entire year. The club was forced into a corner and had no choice but to send their mid laner to save the day.

But nobody knew.

Can Faker, who has returned to the competition after more than a month away, save the team?

"Something still feels off."

Inside the T1 base, Lee Sang-hyeok stared at the crimson {failed} match frame in front of him, muttered to himself, and clicked to exit the game.

The head eunuch, Benji, chimed in, "Actually, it's fine not to practice Tristana. I feel like this champion will definitely be nerfed in the next patch. The designers won't allow this kind of champion to dominate the mid lane."

Lee Sang-hyeok shook his head and adjusted his wrist, which was wrapped with a muscle band: "It won't work."

"There are at least four more games before the next patch, and we can't afford to lose."

As the recently concluded MSI champions, V5's every match naturally becomes a subject of study and reference for teams around the world.

Apart from Bloodhound, who was nerfed in the second version and is now basically no longer a viable mid-lane champion.

The LeBlanc with the electric blade, as well as Tristana and Blade of the Ruined King a few days ago, all caused quite a stir.

Of course, Blade of the Ruined King mid lane is not like the previous two, which are not something that just anyone can master — this champion requires a very high level of champion pool accumulation from the player, and the requirements for laning skills and operation are even more insane, and its strength is not exactly "unbeatable".

Currently, apart from Ye Bo, only the highly talented Chovy has been selected, and his performance has been quite good.

As for the other heroes chosen, they either got crushed in lane or made a lot of stupid plays after being possessed in team fights, failing to bring out the absolute advantage of the hero in fighting ability!
The small cannon is different.

In this version, Tristana can not only counter another overpowered LeBlanc, but also has her strength further enhanced due to the buff to {Navori Blade}, making her suitable for almost any team composition in this version!
But still the same sentence.

While the Tristana mid lane isn't exactly a new concept, many traditional mid laners simply can't play it well!
Compared to Lucian, who relies on skills for damage output, Tristana is closer to a pure ADC in essence.

Furthermore, the laning logic of the Little Cannon in the mid lane is completely different from that of the bot lane duo.

For Lee Sang-hyeok, 1v1 laning, hero operation control cancellation, and combos are all very simple.

But he always felt that his understanding was missing something. As a result, the performance was very average. No matter how he played, it just didn't feel right. Even his win rate in ranked matches was not high!
Lee Sang-hyeok, who was about to return to save the day, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

In the next few matches, he will face KT, Hanwha, and DK—whose three mid laners are BDD, Zeka, and Heo Soo, and their Tristana players have been performing well recently!

If T1 suffers a loss in the draft phase for Tristana against these three teams, they will definitely be in a very difficult situation.

"Show me his video again," Lee Sang-hyeok said, rubbing his forehead.

"YE's?"

The chicken looked troubled after hearing this, and explained while operating the screen to bring up the folder.

"There's no new footage. We suspected the other side was using smurf accounts to train, and we even monitored a batch of accounts in the Korean ranked ladder that suddenly became popular with Tristana, but we later ruled them all out and found that none of them were him."

"Look, it's still just these two games." Lee Sang-hyeok looked at the game replays he had watched several times, and was about to open them again, trying to find out if there was anything he still didn't understand.

Can be followed immediately.

He suddenly noticed the client icon on the side of the screen; a familiar ID had logged in from the otherwise empty friends list.

【Chinese Kung Fu】

A thought suddenly popped into Lee Sang-hyeok's mind.

He seemed somewhat hesitant.

But when he saw that the other person had already entered the matching queue, he still opened the other person's chat window.

But before typing, he switched to a Google webpage.
And at this time.

Ye Bo, who has just started his daily live stream, is thanking viewers for their gifts and interacting with them.

"Thank you, Governor, for calling me Crocodile Daddy! Thank you, Crocodile!"

"Thanks, Dilireba, what kind of name is this? I've reported it!"

"Thanks. Hmm?"

Ye Bo suddenly noticed a familiar ID lighting up in his friends list on the right.

But when he opened the chat interface, his expression suddenly became somewhat "strange".

The account 【Hide on bush】 sent a message: {Hello}.

"What's up with Teacher Fei? What's with the 'hello' thing?"

Ye Bo couldn't help but laugh and complain, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Oh! It might be the Chinese translation of 'Hello.' There are geniuses among the commenters!"

After being reminded by the comments, Ye Bo vaguely remembered.

I think I used a Google Translate when I first messaged someone to ask "How do you play Tsar?"

Because the translator was really difficult to use, I ended up asking Viper for help.

Seeing that the other party was using a translator, Ye Bo started communicating directly in Chinese: {Hello~}.

The other party clearly waited for a while, probably taking it back to the translator and running it through again.

The ensuing conversation went straight to the point.

{I have a question I don't understand and would like to learn from you, Tristana}
Although the wording is somewhat overly formal and the sentences are not very fluent, a sense of translation style permeates the screen.

But the meaning was still clearly conveyed.

Lee Sang-hyeok rarely asks others these questions, because before this, he believed that there weren't enough mid-lane players who could "teach" him how to play the game.

However, they experienced the failure of MSI.

We have experienced this period of low point.

Now the team is in this situation again.

Clearly, Lee Sang-hyeok's state of mind had also subtly changed.

Of course—more importantly, the two had communicated before, which was the main reason he was able to speak up.

Now it's just a matter of "roles reversed".

Soon, a series of text messages came from the other end.

{Oh! I think you might be treating him like a tsar, which is why you're not used to it!}
Although these two heroes are very similar in many ways, they are actually quite different, and the logic is as follows:
Ye Bo used both his hands and his mouth to explain his understanding without reservation, and also gave a live tutorial to the viewers in the live broadcast room.

The Tsar and the little cannon actually look very similar.

They all have long range, are all core characters, have long mobility, and even their ultimate abilities are all about "pushing people away"!
Lee Sang-hyeok also understood it that way.

But in Ye Bo's understanding, these two heroes are worlds apart!

"Azir is inherently difficult to make plays in the early game, so when playing Azir, you should fully utilize the hero's characteristics of being fearless in lane and difficult to gank. While ensuring your own development, you should also command or set up strategies for the side lanes. Speaking of which, it was Teacher Fei who told me this!"

Ye Bo typed while chatting with the viewers in the live stream.

"But Tristana is different, because Tristana isn't actually that strong in team fights. That's counterintuitive, right?"

The Tsar's game was very simple.

The key is to avoid fighting or feeding in the early game, wait for the Azir to scale up and become invincible in team fights, then take over the game.

Lee Sang-hyeok's Tsar was once in a class of its own because he could bring out the hero's unique characteristics while also "opening his eyes" to take care of and command the side lanes, achieving an additional effect of 1+1>2!
But the small cannon is different.

Tristana's laning strength is higher than Azir's, and her 2v2 fighting ability is also extremely strong.

On the contrary, in team fights, Tristana is actually not as powerful as a "true carry"!
The reason is simple—there's no area-of-effect (AOE) attack!

Let's not even talk about how much damage a single E does.

Can we really expect the sparks that take four layers to explode to be brought into the crowd by the enemy and blow up their teammates?
In contrast, consider the dominant core ADCs in the bot lane today.

Aphelios, Jinx, Reverse Feather, Zephyr — all heroes with massive AOE damage!
Therefore, if Tristana is like Azir, she should only farm in the early game and not take the initiative to attack or find a rhythm.

By the mid-game, there's simply no way to hold on!
Its only remaining function is to use its strong 1v1 dueling ability to push lanes on the side lanes!
That way, the hero's abilities cannot be fully utilized!

On the other end, Lee Sang-hyeok was carefully reading the Chinese translation, which wasn't entirely accurate.

A look of sudden realization gradually appeared in his eyes!

He finally realized what had been strange to him all along, and the misconceptions he had developed from playing Tsar for so long.

At last.

Lee Sang-hyeok solemnly copied and pasted a message from the translator: "Thank you very much."

Ye Bo replied with "{You're welcome~}", and continued to teach the viewers in the live stream when the ranked match started again:
"In general, if you want to practice Tristana, you must know that this hero is actually 'Azir in the opposite direction' or 'Offensive Azir.' You can't just farm in lane."

[Am I seeing things? Is this really Fei Fei? And she's using Chinese!? This is completely upside down!]

[This is truly a reversal of the traditional Chinese ranking system. I can't understand how the third-to-last mid laner can communicate with the first-place mid laner~~~]

[Thanks to Ye Sheng for opening this up!!!]

[It's quite a contrast. Just a year ago, some people criticized me, Master Ye, for being a "know-it-all." And now? I apologize!]

[Oh no, after this wave of nerfs, it seems like mid-lane Tristana is about to get nerfed. I need to climb some ranks quickly!]

[Hooray, if T1 really wins next week's match using Tristana, Master Ye should really deserve half the credit, right?]
