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

Chapter 316 A Fool's Imitation? You think I can't beat him?!

Congratulations V5! They're leading 1-0!

The Shenzhen home stadium was packed with cheers as V5 supporters raised their heads to celebrate their team's victory, letting the black and gold team flags flutter in the wind.

I remember clapping with a big smile: "Today's BO5 is going to be incredibly intense right from the start! I never expected to see such an assassin show in the very first game!"

Gu Gu exclaimed in amazement, "I can only say that he truly deserves to be the owner of the Akali skin! When it comes to assassins, Master Ye is absolutely in a class of his own! His skills are just too amazing!"

She counted on her fingers, her face full of admiration: "In this game, Master Ye's individual breakthrough ability directly gave him an advantage in the mid-jungle matchup, a mid-lane matchup, and he was even able to take down the enemy's head amidst a sea of ​​enemies in team fights."

Wang Duoduo, Ye Shifu's longtime partner, sensed something amiss in his words and immediately smiled to smooth things over: "That's absolutely right. Among the current LPL players, Ye Shifu's assassin skills are definitely in a class of their own!"

However, several qualifiers were added.

But when these words reached the scene and were heard by Scout, who had taken off his headphones and walked backstage, they still sounded extremely harsh.

Once upon a time, these same adjectives were used to describe him!

Back in Season 11, he also used LeBlanc and Zoe, two great assassins, to relentlessly suppress Xu Xiu in the mid lane!

Including Sylas and Akali, who were very popular at last year's World Championship. If he hadn't missed the World Championship last year, he believed that he could have held his own against Zeka in the finals!

Just as Scout was about to enter the tunnel and pass by the stands...

Suddenly, a loud shout of ID came from above.

He thought it was one of his fans, and instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

It turned out that the person was a spectator in the very front row, who was waving a large banner at him—it was a meme with Ye Bo's "post-match settlement chart" as the background, and the person pointing with their index finger in front of them.

The combination of the image and the humorous caption makes it even more hilarious in this context.

The person targeted will be instantly killed!

Scout, already feeling depressed, suddenly felt a surge of anger and quickly took two steps onto the tunnel floor.

Although it was clear in the last game that Scout became the team's 'only weak point'.

But as soon as he returned to the preparation room, Coach Bobby immediately went over to comfort him and even offered to make excuses for him.

"It's alright, it's alright. The blue side does have some advantages in the draft phase, they're prepared. Besides, Azir doesn't seem to have a good matchup against Qiyana."

The teammates seemed to be losing their composure after hearing this.

In particular, Light was so utterly overwhelmed that she questioned her existence.

Scout's expression softened considerably after hearing this, and he waved his hand, feigning nonchalance, saying, "It's nothing, just a small game."

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw the post-match segment playing on the big screen backstage.

Ye Bo's non-threatening face, along with the "pointing at people" meme he had just seen, and Qiyana's impressive stats, appeared on the same screen again—Scout seemed to instantly imagine the following lines!
"Hey, it's off!"

Zika, who was pouring water for Breathing Bro on the bench, quickly ran over and turned off the TV.

Scout's tone softened only when he couldn't see the worries: "Let's talk about the draft for the next game. It seems they still want to play the fast-paced style."

"Then I'll probably still play early-game heroes or assassins."

Upon hearing this, Coach Poppy immediately echoed his thoughts: "I think so too, so how about we try a different approach for the next game, junior? What do you think of Galio?"

"Or Ice Maiden would also work!"

"?"

Scout's complexion, which had just started to improve, instantly turned sour again.

More importantly, Hang, the support player, clearly lacked emotional intelligence and was completely oblivious to his older brother's feelings.

He was still chuckling and laughing on the sidelines, saying, "Actually, it feels like it's better to pick Malphite if the enemy team really plays an AD assassin."

"Seriously, I've been seeing a lot of mid-lane Malphite players in Korean solo queue lately, especially against champions like Qiyana and Talon, and it's incredibly effective."

As he was talking, Hang finally realized something was wrong.

Because everyone is watching him.

Scout turned his head away with an extremely hostile look, staring at him with a death stare.

After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "You think I can't beat him?!"

"Oh no, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Hang was about to explain when he was immediately silenced by a cold snort from the other person, who retorted, "A stone man? That's hilarious!"

Coach Bobby quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

In fact.

Scout was trying to say: since the opponent is playing this, then they should also choose this lineup next game.

Otherwise, if you play Tsar like you did in the last game, and you face a lineup that uses assassins as the tempo point, you will easily be powerless to fight back if you exert your strength too early in the mid-game!
Listening to Scout's story.

The people behind the LNG headquarters were all looking at each other in bewilderment.

In contrast to the somber atmosphere in the preparation room, the V5 lounge at the other end of the backstage corridor was bustling with activity as the post-match data evaluation took place.

"Wow! Master Ye is really something! He beat up Junior Thief with ease!"

"We didn't even have to use our team's combo skills much. Master Ye alone almost broke through the mid lane!"

"This is the real stone grain of the FMVP mid laner!"

Xun, who was chatting, almost blurted out the other person's "derogatory nickname," but luckily he took it back halfway through.

After all, several of the opposing team's former teammates are on our team, so we still have to be careful.

Of course, no one paid any attention. Flandre even joked, "Xunzi, watch your face. Nobody's going to compete with you for the starting position anymore!"

"Gunner, you're slandering me! Every word I uttered was uttered with malice!"

"Everyone knows me well, right? I am Ye Xiaoxun! I will always be the most loyal believer of the Ye Clan!"

Beryl uttered a perfectly enunciated "Filial piety!!"

I wonder which toilet-related rating post this joke was stolen from.

Xun chuckled, then pretended to shake his head and sigh, "Hey, you guys don't understand. This thing is like a crosstalk performance; you need a main comedian and a supporting comedian. It's all because Brother Chuan isn't here~~~"

Meanwhile, Deft, watching Tsar's dismal performance with no post-match stats, muttered to himself, "Rycan now... they'll probably pick some utility mid laners for the next game, right?"

The brief halftime break has ended.

Both contestants returned to the stage, and the audience erupted in another fierce, screaming competition.

Ye Bo, who was about to put on his noise-canceling headphones, suddenly heard his own voice as if he were there on the field—it seemed to be a pre-match interview clip, specifically used to fill time between matches.

However, most of these pre-match interviews conducted on-site are more for entertainment purposes, usually featuring the winner's "pre-match outlook".

When asked by the host about his expectations for the match.

On the screen, Ye Bo casually chatted, "Looking forward to it? I'm hoping I can get to play Akali. I haven't even used my own skin in a match yet!"

"Of course, it was quite unexpected to meet Ruichan in the semifinals, but both Flandre and I are still looking forward to facing him!"

The live chat immediately became lively.

[Just think about it. Unless the entire LNG team goes crazy, if Thief Saint really dares to let Akali out, I'll eat three hundred tons of food!]

[YE is up to his old tricks again! He's trying to imply that they should give each other skin champions, but the problem is Zoe can't beat Akali at all! Little Len!]

[Oh dear, my original Prisoner Lily hasn't appeared on screen since she got her new outfit; she looks even more like a prisoner than Silas!]

[I suggest releasing a new skin called: "Ninja Investigator in Prison: Riwa"]

[Let's all petition the designers to give Akali a major nerf, then we'll probably see her again. We can't possibly not see her at all this year, right?] [?? We have several traitors among us! Suggestion or not!]

Meanwhile, the director watched as the live chat comments became increasingly popular.

To boost their popularity KPIs, they immediately and cunningly pulled out Scout's interview clips!
Compared to the friendly and smiling interaction just now.

At this moment, the person in the picture suddenly becomes a physical manifestation of resentment, and his words are noticeably more aggressive.

"I have no expectations, I think we'll win!"

Upon hearing this answer, the host immediately sensed something was amiss and relayed Ye Bo's response from the previous interview, then asked if he had any further comment.

"Of course I can choose if I need to; there's nothing I can't choose."

"I'm also very good at being an assassin!"

Although Scout looked indifferent, domineering, and confident in this interview footage—if fans had seen it before the game, it would have definitely caused a frenzy of screams.

But the problem is that this situation comes after a crushing defeat.
The comments section was already full of fun.

[MD is clearly targeting my junior! What's the point of releasing this at this time?! I'm asking you what you mean by this!!!]

[Haha, EDG and BLG's big players are pulling out all the stops, trying to elevate one while putting down the other, it's clearly targeting my junior!]

[I said it last game, the director is a complete sycophant! Why did he specifically choose to show the moment when Azir got solo-killed? Why didn't he find and show the scene where Azir solo-killed Qiyana?! Absolutely huge bias!]

[Really?! Oh my god, I just finished watching the hero selection and then went to browse Xiaohongshu, listening to the audio in the background. Turns out they really were bullying my junior!!]

[Enough said, ladies! The director found @翔翔QAQ on Weibo, let's go for it!]

The comments section was filled with trolls, trolls, and genuine fans exchanging insults.

Fortunately, a crisp sound came and the BP screen was pulled up, ending the farce.

"In the second game, LNG proactively chose to come to the blue side and banned the Crocodile first, huh?"

"Ban the crocodile first! Could it be!?"

Banning the crocodile first isn't surprising; V5 did the same in the last match.

The blue side can only pick one hero, and there are many strong heroes in the first game. If they don't plan to pick Renekton as the main battlefield in the upper half of the map, there is no reason to let the opponent pick it.

However, if the opposing team is V5, regardless of whether it's red or blue side, almost everyone will mindlessly send Akali to the team that gets banned first.

That will be different!

Both sides banned in the first round —

LNG: Crocodile, Silas, Galio

V5: Weapon, Poppy, Xayah
"So, will LNG snatch Akali? I knew it." Remember made a disappointed expression.

"Unfortunately, it seems it's not today after all."

V5 countered by picking Blade of the Ruined King and Iron Maiden, showcasing their classic mid-jungle-support flex pick and ban strategy.

Wang Duoduo continued, looking to the left, "LNG continues to snatch Kindred and Draven!!"

"what the hell!"

"LNG's lineup for this game looks completely different from the last one!"

In the last game, everyone could see that LNG chose to lean towards the "traditional" approach in this polarized version.

But the Akali + Draven duo looks completely different from the previous game!
Obviously.

Just now in the backend, Scout's idea was finally approved.

One aspect is the team's status.

On the one hand, the coach and teammates could only choose to trust at this point—after all, the mid lane was the biggest problem in the last game, and the most urgent task was to let the mid lane find a way to stabilize before considering anything else.

Right now, all we can do is support their confidence.

"V5 picked Samira, a champion they'd used before, to counter Draven!"

Entering the second round of BP —

V5: Titan, Kennen
LNG: Braum, LeBlanc
"Although there's a high probability that Riel will be a support, V5's Blade of the Ruined King is flexible, and LNG can easily counter Braum against Draven!" Wang Duoduo analyzed the draft.

"Banning LeBlanc is also due to the Blade of the Ruined King's flexible pick; this is V5's unique advantage in the draft phase!"

"As for V5, they're comparing Nautilus to Contrary and Samira, while Kennen is probably being considered for his teamfight potential to synergize with Kindred!"

GuGu chimed in tacitly, "After all, V5 used this combination before, they know it well!"

Wang Duoduo nodded: "That's right! V5 continued to pick Rumble, didn't they choose to give the counter pick to their top laner?"

Talk about it.

Rambo has been lukewarm lately, and even the first V5 player didn't prioritize it much.

The main reason is naturally that Rumble is a hero that requires extremely high skill and has just undergone a rework.

Even with extra training, Flandre can only reach a mediocre level for now.

Rumble's laning ability is entirely dependent on proficiency and player skill. In addition, there are too many strong alternatives ahead of him, which has led to his current lukewarm popularity.

of course.

There's another reason why V5 ​​chose Rambo.

As the commentators said, when LNG's first three heroes were revealed, everyone immediately felt a sense of "familiarity".

They had clearly guessed what the other side wanted to pick—and if Rumble were used against Sion, it would undoubtedly be a very comfortable and advantageous lane matchup!

as predicted.

LNG players on the fourth and fifth floors almost without hesitation chose Sion and Alistar!

"Wow, LNG's lineup looks pretty good?"

"It seems!"

If just now someone sensed something but couldn't draw any conclusions yet...

At this point, LNG's entire lineup was revealed.

picture!
so similar!
"If you covered up the IDs, this lineup would look exactly like the lineup that V5 loves to play!"

"You could even say that you can find an exact match lineup in V5's history of games!"

"Is LNG trying to replicate its opponent? Emerald God!"

"V5 has some new tricks up their sleeve! They've picked Ivern, who underwent a minor rework in the previous two versions! They've also made a major roster change!"

V5's final selection was confirmed as quickly as if it had been premeditated.

The lineups for both sides have been finalized.

Blue Team: LNG vs. Red Team: V5

Top Lane: Undead Warrior vs. Mechanical Enemy

[Jungle: Eternal Hunters vs. Ivern]

Mid Lane: Rogue Assassin vs. Blade of the Ruined King

[Marksman: Glorious Executioner vs. Desert Rose]

[Support: Minotaur Chieftain vs. Iron Maiden]
