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

Chapter 310 The regular season is over! Our playoff opponents can start studying us now!

"Congratulations V5!" Wawa shouted from the commentary booth.

"In the final match of the regular season, V5 defeated the in-form WBG 2-1! They are still maintaining their undefeated record in major matches!"

Miller said with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, in the second game, WBG tore apart a huge defense by using TheShy in the top lane as a breakthrough point. Ye Shifu's Orianna didn't even have time to reach its power spike before being controlled by the side lanes and losing the game. I thought we could continue our winning streak in the third game, but we still fell to Ye Shifu's Xerath."

"Speaking of which, it seems like Orianna and V5 really don't get along, it's the same champion both times!"

However, Miller quickly changed the subject: "But on another note, I didn't expect Master Ye to have Xerath hidden away! This is such a pleasant surprise for everyone!"

Rita, standing next to her, nodded in agreement: "Yeah, after this champion underwent a minor rework last month, it seems only Showmaker from the LCK has been playing him recently; I haven't seen any other players pick him."

The child, somewhat excited, continued, "That's why I said, what's the most terrifying thing about Master Ye?"

"He can not only research and develop all sorts of strange things, but he can also immediately learn what others have developed and researched!"

"This is actually the most crucial reason why V5 ​​has not lost a single major match all year!"

[How could Waiyi be so wicked? He even tried to steal my brother Xu's only special hero! Now my brother Xu is truly left with nothing!]

Wow, they really can win every game! It feels like this V5 team really has a chance to go on the path to gold this year!

[This once again proves that Orianna is a trash champion! I suggest she be relegated to the V5 trash can. Even in Ye Shifu's hands, she only has a 33.33% win rate. I remember she only won one game against G2 at MSI?]

[Isn't this all the fault of the DX designer? It's clearly a targeted attack!]

[Sigh, I told you long ago, the only weak point in the team is the spear. Even the old horse-headed one could kill him. I don't even want to imagine what would happen if he encountered Zeus and Little Zeus!]

[Zeus is...? What makes him comparable to TheShy? What championship does he have?!]

A month ago, Ye Bo's two matches set the tone for the "Electric Knife Alliance".

From LPL to LCK, and even to the European and American regions, all sorts of bizarre ADCs have started to appear—they've all started using the Statikk Shiv to switch to the mid lane!
Besides Varus and Kai'Sa, which Ye Bo used.

This includes, but is not limited to, mid-lane Corki, mid-lane Ezreal, and mid-lane Zz1tai.
The designers originally didn't want to change a piece of equipment in two consecutive versions, to avoid constantly changing their minds and contradicting themselves in public.

But seeing that the environment was becoming increasingly "abnormal", the designer finally took action.

The urgent version development accelerated the update speed of "Electric Blade Evolution", and directly removed the AP attribute of Electric Blade in the next version.

It also significantly weakens the early-game wave clear ability and changes the damage to scale with level.

This strike hit a vital artery; aside from heroes who were truly well-suited for it, all the monsters and demons, including "AP LeBlanc," vanished.

This certainly caused quite a stir.

It's just not the designer's
On the night of the version release.

The pinned post on LCK esports' largest forum, {Xiba Anti-Pressure Bar}, prominently displays a large "YE！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！" poster condemning the post.

LCK fans everywhere are crying out, "Damn it! We were tricked!" and "It was definitely YE's scheme! I knew we shouldn't have learned his stuff!!"

And due to the disappearance of electrosurgical derivatives.

The version suddenly found itself at an "awkward" time.

Because there will be a major update during the playoffs, the original plan was not to make any major changes during the last month of the regular season.

At this point, Ye Bo's unexpected direction changed the course of events, creating a period of uncertainty in this version.

This directly led to all teams tacitly reverting to the familiar "Big Brush" version for the mid lane during the final month of the regular season, as a transitional measure.

After all, this is the most "simple" basic skill for mid laners. Whether it's the player's proficiency or the team's tactics, there's basically no need for extra practice.

It is for this reason.

That's why Ye Bo picked Orianna in his second game and Xerath in his third.

Ye Bo got up and walked with his teammates to the opposite players' seats, enjoying the cheers from the audience below, along with the post-match commentary from the commentators.

"With this, the teams for the LPL 2023 Summer Playoffs are officially set!"

"The top two teams, V5 and JDG, will be resurrected and directly enter the semifinals' top six, awaiting the challengers ahead of them. The final four teams will represent the LPL at the World Championship!"

"Of course, there's also the selection of players for the Asian Games. The competition in this year's playoffs is bound to be more intense than ever before!"

Hearing the last part of those words.

The players from V5 and WBG on the other side, and even many people watching the live stream on their screens, were all moved.

The Asian Games roster has not been finalized yet, which means we'll have to wait for the results of the Summer Games.

The super popular V5 is on this side.

Aside from the mid laner position being extremely secure, there are still quite a few opportunities for competition in the top and jungle lanes.

The bottom lane was an even more brutal battlefield!

Players like Gala and Crisp from WBG, ELK and ON from BLG, JKL from TES, Missing from JDG, UZI and Meiko from EDG, and Light from LNG are all strong contenders!
Everyone held their breath.

No one wants to give up what may be the only opportunity in their short career.

After the handshake session, Coach Danny went on stage to comfort the team members.

He especially comforted Xiao Hu, who was "most seriously injured," and was also his new favorite general.

"Their relationship with the coal mine—their flaws have been completely exposed!"

"We, West Eight, will definitely win the playoffs!"

Danny's speech and personality are quite contrasting, which is completely opposite to his refined and easy-going appearance.

He clearly liked the mid-laner he had specifically requested, and after saying that, he slapped Xiaohu hard on his limbs.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing."

The increasingly plump Tiger Vanguard remained unfazed, using facts to demonstrate in front of the camera that "Don't Touch a Tiger's Butt" was purely a rural rumor, and he seemed to have an excellent attitude.

Center stage.

Ye Bo is being interviewed by the host.

"As for Clockwerk, it's more about how I play it, and it doesn't have much to do with the heroes," Ye Bo said.

"Of course, we also have a lot of understanding of this hero, and I believe everyone will see that later!"

[Look at the players' seats behind, what is Danny doing?]

[This is outrageous! They can claim it's their own fault? It's clearly the top laner who got crushed in lane and is entirely to blame!]

[I get it, there was something hidden, it was intentional!]

【What does YE mean! Does it mean that my all-around divine class isn't worthy of you using your trump cards?!】

[When the botnet was around, they were practically in top form; now that the account's been closed, what's with them?]

The comments section was filled with excitement, with everyone thinking that Ye Bo was just saying something polite.

Little did people know that while Orianna does have many problems, she is indeed a "special" presence in V5's tactical repertoire.

However, the regular season points are already set and will not affect the subsequent playoff rankings, so there was no intention to use them in the regular season at all today.
Later, when the host asked about the team's status.

Ye Bo seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

It was only said that because the competition schedule was compressed and the schedule was tight for a month, with players often having to play back-to-back games, the players might be a little tired and need to rest.

We've finally arrived at the last stage.

Classic playoff trash talk!
Ye Bo seemed quite adept at it, raising the microphone with practiced ease, and now he could speak fluently without hesitation.

"I think our playoff opponents can start studying us now!"

"As for our goals for V5, they remain unchanged."

The comments section erupted in another frenzy.

After Ye Bo stepped off the stage and joined his teammates, they prepared to return directly to the base to rest for a few days. In fact, everything he said in the interview was true.

Not only them, but the players from other teams were also very tired, but the situation of the V5 team was a little special.

"Sorry everyone, I played terribly again today, it's me again." Flandre spoke up apologetically.

Everyone in V5 knew about the other's situation, and they all offered words of comfort.

"It's really okay, Gunner. Feifei played so badly at MSI because of his hand injury, but you played better than Feifei did back then!" Xun comforted him with a real-life example.

"If you ask me, you should take a break like Feifei, and we'll call Chuan back. I'll go play top lane!"

Ye Bo laughed, annoyed: "Don't mess around! If you go top lane, we're really doomed!"

“That’s really true~~~” Xun shook his head and laughed, instantly making the atmosphere cheerful again.

Saint Gun forced a smile, but secretly resolved to practice more when he got back.

"Speaking of which, Brother Jiang's laning phase today was really scary; his pressure was quite strong."

In fact.

Indeed, the compressed schedule this month, coupled with the rapid changes in the game version, has naturally increased the amount of training.

Lee Hyun-jun's hand injury from the "bo10" competition has been lingering, requiring him to wear muscle bandages for years during high-intensity workouts.

After returning from MSI, we immediately need to prepare for the Summer Split. After the Summer Split, we may have to compete in the Asian Games, and then there's the issue of a compressed schedule.

This is what caused the sudden relapse.

Fortunately, Mario Ho took it very seriously and immediately used his wealth to pull strings, bringing over the physiotherapist who had recently helped Faker!
Seeing how well the other party's results were, we directly asked them to create a 1:1 customized solution.

So at this moment, Flandre is actually adjusting to the new grip – the only difference is that Faker chose a good time to adjust during the off-season.

However, given that V5's schedule is currently very important and they don't have a substitute top laner, Li Xuanjun doesn't want to affect the team's performance because of himself, so he can only adjust while playing the games.

But these.

Neither the V5 players nor the club officials have disclosed this information.

Ye Bo also held back during the interview.

After all, although there is a "reason for the matter," outsiders and the audience will not care about these things, nor do they need to care about them.

Even if you're genuinely sick, they'll still scold you without hesitation, and it'll seem like you're "making excuses"!
If you win, there's even less to say. It'll sound like you're mocking your opponents, saying, "How come you can't even beat someone who's sick!"

Moreover, injuries and physical condition are things that athletes in all sports need to overcome.

Whenever I think of this...

Ye Bo couldn't help but feel a little fortunate!

I recall the first task in my diary, which I started more than a year ago: a five-kilometer morning run every day.

It was like his daily training routine; he never missed a single day!

While the physical therapist was examining everyone in V5, he discovered that Deft and Beryl were both riddled with injuries; the former was due to age, while the latter was due to obesity and laziness.

Even Xun, who is also young, has a problem with his waist.

Only Ye Bo!
He looks as healthy as a perfectly age-appropriate 19-year-old handsome young man!

Even the most "standard" textbook on myopia is missing!

The team doctor and physiotherapist were all somewhat surprised—and this might be related to the fact that Ye Bo spent a lot of time on "meditation training".

Say something.

In the esports industry, this is definitely a Saiyan-level physique!
The LPL compressed its schedule, so the end of the regular season was almost simultaneous with the conclusion of the LCK, which proceeded as scheduled.

The playoff standings for both major regions have also been released.

The top ten teams in the LPL regular season standings are: V5, JDG, BLG, LNG, WBG, TES, EDG, OMG, WE, and FPX.

The top six teams in the LCK regular season standings are: GEN, HLE, KT, DK, T1, and DRX.

At first glance, it all seems reasonable.

However, to be honest, both sides have teams that do not match the "points ranking".

LCK自然是T1————别看好像区区只是9/9勉强蹭进前六的积分，但实际一看战绩，近9场大局却豪取了8胜1负的连胜！

As for the most unexpected thing from the LPL side...
It's LNG!

Perhaps it was the success of the mid-term signings, or perhaps someone triggered some crucial passive element.

In short, no one could have imagined that LNG could go from being unknown in the Spring Split to being a nobody at the beginning of the Summer Split, and then suddenly rise up and fight their way to fourth place in the Summer Split with 12/4 points!

In terms of zones, LNG and V5 are both located in the upper half of the zone.

This has excited and generated great anticipation among fans of V5, LNG, EDG, and BLG.
The league has entered a few days of rest.

Except for the playoff teams that are about to climb up from the first round and cannot relax for a moment, the other teams have also entered the holiday to adjust their state.

As the team that has completed all the major competitions this year, V5 should actually be the most exhausted, and the players have had a good two days of relaxation.

Of course, Ye Bo is an exception.

Even Deft, a training fanatic who drinks coffee like water, could only sigh in admiration at Ye Bo's training methods.

Ye Bo's daily life also subtly influences the entire team.

He seems to have inexhaustible energy, and he doesn't need anyone to urge or supervise him. He is full of energy every day!

Even during holidays that are long enough, they will still start live streaming.

"Time for work! Time for work! Time for work!" Ye Bo turned on his camera and casually started a ranked match: "Let's see who plays whom in tomorrow's playoffs."

"EDG vs. WE? Uzi versus the points champion! We have to watch this!"

"Oh, thank you so much, Governor, to the owner of the [Top Disciple of the Wing Chun Gym]!"

"Don't rush me to update! I've just been too busy this month. The videos I owe will be uploaded at 8 PM, and they'll be two videos: one of Varus and one of Xerath!!"

[Seriously?! My B-coins and monthly passes are itching for more!]

[Hey, isn't this Master Ye? Coming to pay back his hours at the end of the month too? Could he be with the same agency as the guy next door, Master Ma?]

【Chunyunzi, my Master Ye is a first-class model worker—I'm afraid others won't broadcast, but I'm afraid Master Ye will broadcast secretly!】

So what are the rest of V5 doing? Especially the shooters! Are they even training?

[Why are there trolls in the livestream? Go check it out on OPGG yourself, Flandre's Rank history is more than Master Ye's! Five times that of Ma Tou!!!]

I don't really agree with the statement that you don't play Soul Arena; it's the best in the Soul Arena! I'm really not familiar with ranked matches.

While waiting for his ranking to be determined, Ye Bo kept watching the live chat interactions.

Of course, he has now developed the ability to automatically filter out unfriendly comments and does not pay attention to or respond to obviously bad comments.

"Battle Spirit? You know what, we could actually play a few rounds later!"

"Let's wait until closer to the end of the broadcast~"

Ye Bo suddenly remembered when he saw that comment.

Speaking of which, the "Battle Arena" entertainment mode, which was just launched last month, quickly went from being ignored to becoming a phenomenal hit mode and received widespread praise.

However, Ye Bo noticed this because he received a related side quest!
However, since exploring the new model would take a lot of time and certainly wouldn't take up the main training time, he wasn't in a hurry to complete it.

"Why is he filling in for top lane again? Maybe I can get a spot here~~"

"Hmm? Is the enemy top laner TheShy?"

Ye Bo, who was just about to type, suddenly saw the screen full of notifications in the live chat.

Then he deleted the typed Chinglish.
