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

Chapter 335 The Champion! I want both the Asian Games and the S-Series! The Road to Gold is getting closer and closer!
"It's over!" Guan Zeyuan raised his arms and shouted excitedly: "An unexpected level one design, the magical combination of the mid and support players, and Master Ye's incredibly stable super core in the late game! WBG was powerless to resist!"

"The 2023 LPL Summer Split Champions belong to V5!"

"They are about to lift their second Silver Dragon Cup in team history, and it's a double championship in the same year's Spring and Summer Splits, which is extremely prestigious! This has only happened twice before in the entire history of the LPL!"

"They are still forging their own legend!"

As we all know, there is a significant version update every season, and the version environment at the beginning of each Spring Split is vastly different from that at the end of each Summer Split.

JDG is a victim of this phenomenon; their dominance has clearly diminished since the summer split due to version changes.

In the previous thirteen years, only two teams, EDG in 2014 and RNG in 2018, had achieved this feat, which shows how difficult it is.

Now V5 has become the third team to achieve this feat!

The tens of thousands of fans and supporters at the scene erupted in a tremendous roar, as if they were about to burst the roof.

Ye's parents mingled in the front row of the crowd. Having come to the event in person, they were also infected by the atmosphere and joined in the excited shouts, completely immersed in the environment.

Both of them had pride written all over their faces.

They looked towards the stage, quietly appreciating the magnificent spectacle of fireworks bursting forth—a moment that belonged to their son.

At the very moment the WBG base exploded, all facilities in the Wukesong Arena were turned on at full power.

Golden ribbons of rain suddenly filled the sky, reflecting the team's official photos projected on the large screen behind them and the jubilant crowd in the players' seats.

"I'm a coronavirus!" Beryl pulled off his headphones, looking unusually excited. He didn't even bother to celebrate with his good friend Deft, and immediately ran to the middle to hug Ye Bo.

"What do you think, Master Ye? Are these two crucial casualties in this match?!"

Having seen many big events, Beryl's excitement wasn't entirely due to winning the championship.

It's about operation!

Even though he was just one part of it, he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to "operate" it!
As we all know, even during his peak season in S10, Beryl was rarely known for his "gameplay".

Most of them are known for their awareness of game version, minion waves, vision, tactics, and command, as if the inability to play mechanically has become a taboo for them.

Of course, this operation does not refer to simple combos, the kind that every player can easily execute, which is nothing more than a combination of a few buttons.

The real key point is stability!
For the same operation, some people have a 50% success rate, some have a 70% success rate, and some have a 90% success rate.

However, even if 90% of people make a mistake just once in a crucial team fight in actual combat, it could have serious consequences—not to mention that Beryl's success rate is obviously not high.

This is why, even when there was a real opportunity, Beryl, knowing he wasn't good at it, would try his best not to take it.

But after V5...

Everything is different!

Besides having a true master operator to guide him in practice, share insights, and even help with development,

More importantly, in actual matches, even if he makes a mistake, he always feels that someone can help him catch up, resolve the situation, or even take advantage of it!

Take, for example, the "Double-Teleport" combo between Fiddlesticks and Ryze.

It was clearly a mistake in the scarecrow's positioning that gave them an opportunity, yet in a battlefield where most people would only think about "escaping" and "selling out," they discovered a hidden angle.

Then, by making a decisive move, he turned a mistake into an opportunity!

This way of winning the game is something Beryl had never experienced before before joining V5.

In Beryl's own words: It's like playing the Abyss. The satisfaction and sense of accomplishment are completely different when you clear a level by using {pure numbers} versus using {pure skills}!
For a player like Beryl who values ​​the experience more, this is even more precious than winning the championship itself.

"You two really coordinated well this time!" Ye Bo praised without reservation: "I was worried that you, Genshin Impact, might be a little rusty from practicing with the Scarecrow on short notice, but I didn't expect you to be so skilled!"

The combination of Fiddlesticks and Ryze may seem simple, but to make it so that the opponent is completely unaware or unable to defend against it, Fiddlesticks' coordination is very important.

"Yes! I've been practicing for so long!"

Deft, who arrived later to celebrate, seemed deeply moved upon hearing this.

Only he knows this.

In the two days following last year's finals, even the usually strong Deft didn't open League of Legends—while Beryl played all night long that day, especially the game with Fiddlesticks that shattered their hopes.

Akali and Sylas are one thing, but those are Ye Bo's specialties, so it's normal that they don't know much about them.

But the scarecrow holds the secret of the Badd note.

How can the other party also control these things?!

At the time, Beryl thought it was because he had been lazy and hadn't played enough ranked games, and he was filled with self-blame. But after joining V5, he realized that he had completely wronged himself.

This is totally a human problem!

Only when I truly became Ye Bo's teammate, watching him spend time on the game every day, watching him repeatedly restart in training mode to try those seemingly meaningless operations.

Only then did he realize how the other party had experimented with all those bizarre and unpredictable maneuvers.

Saint Gun Bro, with his arm around Xun who had a crooked mouth, teased, "What's wrong, Xun? You're usually the first one to jump up, but you're acting all calm today, huh?"

"Damn it, don't make me laugh, Gun Bro! I was about to burst out laughing!" Xun turned his head and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Damn it, the forum was full of ugly pictures of me before. I need to take some good pictures to show off when we're going to win the trophy!"

After a brief celebration, the teammates went to the opposing team's stage to shake hands with the WBG members.

Along the way, you can also hear the voices of the commentary booth echoing throughout the venue.

"To be honest, WBG was definitely outdone by V5 today, both in terms of pre-match preparation and in-game performance," Guan Zeyuan said bluntly, shaking his head.

"Although they prepared a lot of things, in front of V5, they were as innocent as a blank sheet of paper!"

Angel, who was standing next to her, seemed to be in a great mood and was even jokingly saying a popular meme: "Indeed, there is still a gap in strength between the two sides. It feels like the V5 armored vehicle ran over WBG without even realizing it!"

The third person had already begun to wear mourning clothes and could not be found.

Unexpectedly, Guan Zeyuan immediately added another stab to the corpse.

"This puts WBG in a difficult position. Because of the Spring Split points, JDG will ultimately be the second seed, while WBG will have to go to the gauntlet to fight for survival."

"As for V5, they are still charging towards an unprecedented achievement in the 'Golden Road'! Currently, the only obstacles in their way are the Asian Games and the World Championship."

Guan Zeyuan paused slightly at this point.

Because he subconsciously included the Asian Games, which had recently generated considerable buzz, in his calculations.

But then it suddenly occurred to me that the Asian Games are not based on "teams" after all; it's impossible for all the athletes from a team to compete together.

Theoretically, this shouldn't be included in the challenges of "The Golden Path".

Or rather, even if we were to include it, it could only be considered a "personal achievement".

Those players in the nearby stands clearly heard these post-race comments, and each person's feelings were obviously different.
of course.

The WBG members on the other side, after hearing the first half of the sentence, were no longer in the mood to care about the second half.

As the commentators said, JDG's points from finishing as runner-up in the Spring Split and reaching the semifinals in the Summer Split are exactly 10 points more than WBG's, making them the default second seed and directly qualifying for the World Championship.

In the end, WBG's efforts in the playoffs were completely in vain!

We still have to go through the brutal gauntlet!
Compared to the Asian Games qualification competition, the players clearly value the S-series qualification spots more, since that is the ultimate battlefield that everyone is looking forward to.

TheShy and Karsa, two veterans, seemed to be in good spirits, even managing to force a smile when shaking hands with the V5 players.

Xiao Hu looked completely exhausted. As he got up, he was wiping the sweat from his forehead. His numb brain had no energy left to think about anything else.

All he wanted to do at that moment was to roar to the heavens—"Do you know what I went through in those three battles?!"

The strategy against the mid lane was completely different from what was planned, as the opponent's clever tactical arrangement shifted the battle to the top lane.

This has resulted in the account closure process being under almost 100% positive pressure throughout today!
It wasn't even 100%! Xiao Hu vaguely sensed that the opponent seemed to be playing with more force today!

"Go Tiger, we're waiting for you to make it to the World Championship!" Ye Bo was cheering him on.

But to Xiao Hu, the other party's sincere comfort was like rubbing salt into a tiger's backside and roasting it, trying to make it charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

He could only force a wry smile and nod to thank the other party for their kindness.

GALA, who already had a "bitter" look on his face, looked even more ridiculously embarrassed, as if he had suffered some injustice, like snow falling in June.

When he saw Ye Bo walking towards him, he momentarily hallucinated as if he saw "Akali" walking towards him. His ADC instincts kicked in, and he suddenly had an inexplicable subconscious urge to turn and retreat.
But there is one thing to say.

Whoever plays AD in these games, they all have this expression!

The first Talon player to roam and kill was able to take down Aphelios's head amidst a crowd of enemies. Throughout the entire game, the sound of cherry blossoms made my fingers tremble reflexively.

In the second game, Sylas stole Rumble's ultimate and completely restricted the fed short-range Kai'Sa. He couldn't do anything in several team fights during the power spike and still had to face the powerful entry of three heroes!
The third game's Xayah was even worse.

I was determined to crush the opponent's unconventional bot lane duo in the laning phase—but I barely even saw them face off a few times!

By the time they officially met, Xiao Pao was already up!

What can an ADC possibly do?

"It's okay, Ga Zi. You did a great job today," Liu Qingsong, the assistant coach, comforted his partner, trying to soothe his wounds. "Don't be stressed. Think positively. You can still compete for a spot in the Asian Games."

To be fair, Gala was in pretty good form today.

Especially considering that WBG's top and mid lanes were at the heart of their strategy and the situation was extremely dire, the contrast made WBG's bottom lane seem like they were just getting carried to defeat.

The V5 group once again stepped onto the center of the stage and waved to the stands in all directions.

The audience responded with increasingly enthusiastic applause, and banners bearing the names of the contestants fluttered in the air, creating a grand spectacle.

The silver dragon trophy, positioned at the very center of the stage, gleamed brilliantly, radiating boundless charm under the combined spotlights of the entire audience. Normally, Ye Bo wouldn't find the trophy particularly novel.

After all, it has only been a year and a half since his debut, but this is already the third Silver Dragon Cup that he is about to lift, an achievement that many contestants can hardly reach in their entire lives!

But as Ye Bo stood before the trophy, his flushed face clearly couldn't hide his excitement, and his pounding heart even made his body move involuntarily.

No matter how many times he comes, Ye Bo always feels excited and thrilled by this scene.

This is, after all, what he has been pursuing from the very beginning.

The first one, the second one... no matter how many, you can never have too many!
"Come on, come on!"

Ye Bo gave a call, and then everyone stretched out a hand to grasp the silver dragon cup base that shone brightly in the light.

After counting down from three to two, everyone lifts it high above their heads with all their might!

At the same instant, dry ice from the edge of the stage shot out again!

The sound of camera shutters clicking was constant from the audience.

At the same time, host Liu Hang was also preparing to go on stage, waving his arm and shouting in a passionate voice.

"Let's shout out the champion of the 2023 LPL Summer Split!"

"V! 5!"

Nearly ten thousand spectators below the stands shouted in unison.

"After a summer of fierce competition, V5 has emerged as the new champion of the Summer Split! They will also represent the LPL as the number one seed at the World Championship."

"The fact that they were able to maintain their unbeaten record all the way to this point is a testament to their hard work and dedication!"

The V5 players on stage exchanged glances and smiled.

Although the host was just saying platitudes for the occasion.

However, it is clear that even strong teams like JDG and T1 will experience various discomforts and impacts due to version changes in the spring and summer seasons.

The "Variant Version" has never been an easy task.

V5 doesn't have any special features, and each new version brings new challenges, which may even include some obvious changes specifically targeting them.

But V5 is always able to adapt and make use of it quickly!
All of this seemed so natural, but only the team members themselves knew the hardships and trials they had endured.

"So."

Liu Hang, who needed to conduct a brief group interview at the championship celebration, waited for the noise below the stage to subside before speaking again, his gaze naturally turning to Ye Bo beside him.

"Having won the championship again, what are your thoughts, Coach Ye?"

He handed the microphone over.

Ye Bo naturally took the microphone, and his strong voice lingered in the venue.

"I can only say that everyone on our team has been amazing to get this far! They are all important, and each and every one of them is indispensable!"

"Most importantly, everyone's goal has always been the same from the beginning."

Many fans in the stands immediately erupted in deafening cheers.

Liu Hang smiled and handed the microphone to Beryl next to him: "So, regarding the bold tactics in the third game, Beryl, could you tell us what your design ideas are?"

"Was this designed specifically to get revenge on the WBG team?"

He originally intended to signal to wait for the translator to relay the message, but unexpectedly Beryl waved his hand, rendering the translator unemployed on the spot.

"Well, actually it is..."

But unexpectedly, it was precisely because he was speaking Chinese that Beryl, who was frantically searching for the right words, suddenly realized something.

He swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

He subconsciously turned to look at Ye Bo, only to find that Ye Bo was also turning to look at him.

The two exchanged glances in the air.

I instantly realized that the other person was thinking the same thing as me.

"Oh yes! Nissode was absolutely right!"

"The '94's group specifically planned this to get revenge on WBG! '94' is because of TheShy."

Liu Hang, who was standing next to him, received a satisfactory answer.

Danny, who was comforting his teammates from the sidelines, gritted his teeth and started cursing when he heard this, knowing that his guess was right.

Clearly, the perspective of an insider is completely different from that of an outsider.

V5 knew they were executing a clear tactic, but they didn't expect that outsiders would think it was a top-lane ganking strategy specifically targeting WBG.
Although the starting points were indeed similar.

But this small difference has an absolutely drastic impact.

After all, not many teams rely on the top lane as much as WBG, so naturally they won't specifically study this tactic "specifically targeting" them; at most, they'll just have a basic understanding and take some precautions.

After interviewing Xun and Flandre, Liu Hang finally approached Deft.

"So, as this is your third year in the LPL, and your third time making it to the World Championship from the LPL, what are your thoughts?"

Deft took the microphone and began to speak with a gentle smile.

"It's alright. There's not much I can do, but I'm already satisfied as long as I can do as much as I can for the team."

Immediately, shouts of his ID rang out from the audience.

After a brief group interview with the five participants, the more significant, yet almost predictable, FMVP selection took place.

"Next, please welcome Mr. Jin Yibo, the head of the League of Legends project, to the stage to present the award and announce the FMVP award!"

Jin Yibo, who had come specifically to present the award in person, walked down from the stands and enthusiastically onto the stage with the trophy in hand.

"Dear viewers! Let's all shout out the ID of the player who is absolutely the FMVP in your hearts!"

As expected, a deafening roar of "YE! YE!! YE!!!" erupted from the audience.

Even V5's four teammates started shouting along.

Since there was absolutely no suspense, Jin Yibo decisively and loudly proclaimed: "The winner of this year's Summer Finals FMVP is—YE!"

The audience below the stage erupted in a cacophony of screams and whispers.

Seeing the highlights and impressive data displayed on the large screen behind them, the fans became even more excited and erupted in thunderous applause from the stands!

When Ye Bo arrived at the center of the stage and was bathed in the spotlight, he seemed to be standing in the light, and at that moment he only looked like a young man full of vigor.

In response to the question about his feelings regarding winning the FMVP award.

He raised the microphone again and confidently said, "For each of us, this year is just the beginning."

"Whether it's the Asian Games or the World Championship, I want them all!!"

Laughter immediately erupted from the audience.

But this was immediately followed by extreme screams and cheers.

"I also believe in the golden road, and our V5 team will definitely complete the entire journey!"

A powerful declaration ignited the scene.

At the same time, it also triggered another wave of barrage comments in the online live broadcast room.

Oh no, Master Ip is starting to plant his flag too!

[Is this what you call "planting a flag"? He didn't even suggest sending both trophies to my house right now, which I already think is excessive modesty!!]

[First of all, the Asian Games is a bit difficult, right? I think the Asian Games should definitely include the Golden Road events, otherwise it feels inferior to Uzbekistan!]

[By the way, who came up with this weird name, "Road to Gold"? It sounds like I've been playing for 10 years and still can't break through the golden barrier. It doesn't seem as good as a year-round Grand Slam~~~]

[Upstairs! I think you're already courting death! How dare you not know the decay within brilliance! (Just kidding)]

[To be honest, the Asian Games aren't that important. Let's not put too much pressure on them. This year's Asian Games are really tough. Let's just treat it as a waste of their training time by avoiding direct confrontation. Our ultimate goal is only the World Championship!]

Master Ip: I'm avoiding his sharp edge?!

Ye Bo was clearly looking forward to the Asian Games.

The reason, besides the immense symbolic significance of the event itself, was something he had been looking forward to for quite some time.

After all, in the two missions that appeared after last year's finals, it was clearly stated that "Road to Gold" includes all international events, including the Asian Games.

So even if outsiders think the Asian Games are not within the scope of the Golden Road, it is something Ye Bo absolutely cannot afford to lose—simply because one of the mission rewards is an upgrade to Old Deng's Diary!
Of course, the summer championship also holds significant meaning for him.
But at the same time.

Beryl, who was standing nearby, seemed to have a sudden change in his excited mood, and even his expression seemed to pause slightly.

Deft, on the other side, was clearly experiencing equally intense emotional fluctuations.
And the final has come to an end.

This is merely the beginning of another round of bloodshed and violence.

Before the Asian Games training camp begins, there will be an even more brutal qualifying round, where the fierce competition is about to begin!
