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

Chapter 338 The list is finally finalized, and the quota for the expedition is announced!
The highly anticipated final match of the qualifying tournament has begun as scheduled.

After all, it directly concerns the two teams competing for the only spot in the World Championship, and the momentum feels no less than that of the finals.

It can also be described as a true "battle for survival"!
The Asian Games roster has not yet been announced, and there are clearly many players on both teams who have a chance to compete for the title—even if they lose the final match, they can still compete if they perform well enough!

Both teams have a large number of enthusiastic fans and supporters, and they are already arguing fiercely online even before the game starts.

[That old man who can beat up even a wall, just wait until Brother Bin beats him to a pulp today!]

To be fair, V5 definitely has a bad player on their team. They've already taught BLG how to beat WBG, so they should be able to win easily, right?

[What are you saying? Didn't V5 teach them how to play against BLG? They should at least be able to learn it.]

Why are they still using Shadou? The opposing team knows to replace Kasa with Weiwei, who has the ancient V5 bloodline! Why don't they bring in Chuan, who has a trace of V5 Dou Di bloodline, to give them some bloodline suppression?

[What's all the fuss about? It's just a match between a lousy fourth seed; anyone who didn't know better would think it was the World Championship finals!]

The pre-match promotional video was also full of tension.

Chen Zebin, still looking confident, glanced sideways at the camera and said, "I will prove that I am the strongest top laner in 1v1!"

TheShy, with a calm expression, glanced sideways at the camera and said, "I'll bring you back to reality."

At first, everyone thought it was just a simple threat.

Little did they know that this was actually a "prophecy"!
The first match, between Rambo and Weapon, already hinted at this trend.

When V5 plays against WBG, they always take advantage of Rumble's easy-to-catch nature to target him, making TheShy play very cautiously and preventing Rumble from achieving its full potential.

But Chen Zebin just wouldn't have it!
He insisted on proving that anyone could use his weapon, always adhering to the life principle of "never calling for help from the jungler," and would never ask for help from the jungler even when his backside was almost roasted raw in lane.

And surprisingly, Shadou didn't dare to take the initiative to go on the road.

The reason lies with Weiwei!

Dani's preference for Weiwei wasn't because she thought Weiwei was significantly stronger than Karsa—it was simply because Karsa had been a professional player for so many years, and his core playstyle was completely established, making it difficult for him to change.

In contrast, Weiwei has much greater potential.

While each of these strategies may not be executed by the most skilled players, they are all viable options.

For example, the goal Dani gave him in this game was to invade Shaddo's jungle!
Before, whether in European teams or LGD, Shadou was always the absolute leader of his team. Although he had an outgoing personality and his playstyle wasn't "selfish," he was definitely not a jungler who habitually sacrificed himself.

Rumble focused intently on his lane, steadily dominating Jax, and the difference became even more pronounced in team fights.

By the mid-stage of development, WBG begins to dominate across the board.

This is also another reason why Dani dislikes Karsa: the stability after 15 minutes is too poor, but mid-to-late game operation is the key to WBG's victory.

In fact, after the battle with V5, WBG not only did not "expose its weaknesses" but actually repaired many of its flaws with the "help" of the opponent!
This brings us to the issue of BLG.

Tabe's coaching ability is no worse than Dani's, and he is even better at training players. Theoretically, BLG should have gradually improved and should never have fallen to this point.

However, BLG's most fatal problem is its lack of discipline and its tendency to overextend itself. Tabe has been talking about this to death since the beginning of the season, but it has never been improved!

This resulted in significant weaknesses in BLG's mid-game operations, which could easily become exploitable vulnerabilities.

This is due to the difference in the players' own potential for development, and outsiders have no other way to change it.

Furthermore, WBG's acquisition of Gala this year is undoubtedly an "effective reinforcement," while BLG has changed its jungler three times in six months, and the team synergy is also significantly different.
"Gala flew in!" Wawa shouted excitedly from the commentary booth: "ELK was solo-killed by Kai'Sa, and ON's reckless engage brought his teammates down with him! BLG is going to be wiped out!"

Congratulations WBG!!!

"They defeated BLG 3-1, securing the last ticket to the S13 World Championship and will travel to Seoul as the fourth seed from the LPL!"

Miller shook his head in regret, saying, "It's a real shame for BLG. Actually, apart from the mid and jungle being relatively evenly matched, the bot lane performed quite well during the laning phase."

Guan Zeyuan had a different opinion: "But that's actually the characteristic of GALA and Songsong. They have never been known for their laning skills. If you observe carefully, you will find that GALA was able to stand out in the mid-to-late game in four consecutive games, but ELK still had some unstable late-game performance."

"If I had to say, I'd say Gala's style is somewhat similar to Deft's."

Since GALA joined WBG this year, TheShy in the top lane often takes over resources, and the support often runs to the top lane to leave the AD carry alone.

As a result, Gala's gaming experience is actually quite similar to Deft's.

This completely violates RNG's founding principles!!

But that's why Ye Bo thinks GALA is a better fit for that lineup than JKL.

Uncle has been tricked again!

[BLG is truly unbelievable! They spent the most money and took the worst beatings, yet they still couldn't make it to Worlds!]

In my opinion, Uncle's most urgent task is to immediately collect the money from the Thief King; we're counting on him to make back the money we lost today.

[WBG: V5's defeated opponent, but there's still a gap!]

[Wow, it seems my Bin is completely out of the running for the Asian Games now, but what chance do Jiu Meng and ON have?]

[That's impossible. The AD carry is definitely the older brother, and the support is absolutely the younger sister. Don't even think about it. Do you even understand what it means to be a big shot in terms of traffic and how to divide the spoils?]

So where the hell is the Asian Games roster? Where's my Asian Games roster?!

"Alright everyone! The 2023 LPL Summer Split has now come to a close. The four teams will head to Seoul, South Korea to compete for the S13 World Championship trophy!"

"But before that—let's turn our attention to the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games!"

Let's all cheer for Team China!

The final match of the bubble tournament has come to an end.

Aside from clearing and collecting all the boomerangs, most people's attention immediately turned to another place!
WBG's successful entry into the World Championship, while BLG was shut out by a large margin, can be seen as a confirmation of the correctness of Ye Bo's proposed roster yesterday.

Ultimately, the head of the General Administration of Sport made the decision.

He immediately signed and confirmed the list of personnel proposed by Ye Bo, and prepared to arrange publicity.

However, there is one more thing that needs to be confirmed before that.

"Can we still choose the version for the competition?"

Ye Bo, who answered the phone, met Beryl's gaze as she left with her suitcase.

Mingkai on the other end of the phone was still explaining, "Well, this can be considered a slight home-field advantage. For example, in Go competitions, the organizers decide which set of rules to use, which is perfectly reasonable."

"Our coaching staff believes that version 13.9 is the most advantageous for us."

"However, the boss said he'd like to ask you first before making a decision."

Ye Bo quickly recalled version 13.9 after a quick mental search.

That was the last patch before the mid-season, and also the true Spring Split patch.

In that version, the mid-lane minion wave roaming time had not yet been nerfed, the Shadow Claw had not yet had its displacement function removed, the marksman's mythic item had not yet been reworked, and the jungle was still dominated by jungle carries.
Most importantly—it's the winning version of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational!
Despite the fact that LPL still has a significant advantage in the current league performance, and there are even occasional news reports from LCK that many teams are "learning" from LPL.

However, in League of Legends, each version has its own meta, and without real-world testing, no one can say for sure what the current version is like.

And 13.9 is the only international competition case this year!

LPL ultimately achieved an impressive record in the finals, proving that this is the version that best suits them!
"I think it's fine," Ye Bo replied on the phone.

The thought of being able to "go back in time" and play past versions is intriguing.

Ye Bo, who already had many ideas that he hadn't been able to realize, even felt a bit of inexplicable anticipation.

After hanging up the phone, Beryl, who was standing next to him, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "13.9, that's good."

"Why?" Ye Bo asked curiously with a smile, "Don't forget about Genshin Impact, we won MSI with a perfect record this version, we're really strong~"

"No, that way you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing."

"Besides, don't I understand? There's more than one version of Ni Qiang, it doesn't matter~"

Beryl was initially worried. If the latest version was used, he would face the dilemma of either "leaking" his understanding of the team or "concealing" it from his hometown national team.

Since Beryl had already gone to that arena, he naturally wanted to win the match.

Exemption from military service is no less tempting than the S-series trophy, even for someone as laid-back as him!

For Deft as well, this means that his career, which is currently on a countdown, may also continue indefinitely.
"Elbow!"

"Take care, everyone."

The bot lane duo each gave a big hug to the top, mid, and jungle players.

The South Korean team had already rushed to the Asian Games Village, and the participating members had also been called up and needed to go there in advance to join them.

Since joining V5 at the end of last year, due to concerns about preventing unexpected outbreaks, we have spent almost every day together for the past six months without separating. Now that we are suddenly parting ways, we feel a little sad for no reason.

"Why is it acting like a life-or-death situation?" Xun shouted jokingly, "It's just going to Hangzhou! It's not like we're going to Texas!"

"The Texas-style Texas-style braised chicken!?"

"It must be Texas in the US, Genshin Impact, how come you can think of anything to eat?"

Saint Gun also laughed and said, "Indeed, maybe our dorms in the Asian Games Village will be closer to each other than the dorms at the base."

"Go and come back soon, brothers!" Ye Bo chuckled and offered his sincere blessings.

"Go early and come back early. Wow, Master Ye! What a vicious curse!"

After embracing each other again, they parted ways.

Beryl, whose body was already somewhat overweight and bloated like a penguin, swayed as she walked down the steps, and finally turned back to look at Ye Bo.

"Master Ye!"

"This time, Hekku and I will definitely beat you!!"

Deft also looked up, his eyes seemingly filled with a similarly profound meaning.

It's like a fire that had been extinguished for a long time, now burning again.

Before Ye Bo could even speak, Xun had already preemptively replied.

"Hey, let's go, Genshin Impact guy! I missed it last year, and I can't wait to go and beat you up with Master Ye right now!"

"Gou Xunni, just you wait!"

The Didi driver at the entrance was already honking his horn to urge them on.

Leaving behind a fierce glare, the two pushed open the gate of the V5 base, got into the car, and soon disappeared from the sight of the three.

As Ye Bo watched the departing car, his heart was already burning with excitement.

It was as if he had been transported back to the night before last year's finals.
"Hey Master Ye, where are you going? You've got your last two days of vacation, come join the Soul Fighting!"

"No, I want to learn to swim."

Watching that figure walk back into the room.

Xun scratched his head in confusion and turned to look at Li Xuanjun: "Brother Qiang, learning to swim in a room, is that some kind of trendy sport?"

"I don't know, but I did hear that the swimming pool in the university town next to our base is pretty good, and a lot of college students go there to learn."

"Holy crap? Coach, I want to learn to swim too!"

Clearly, Ye Bo, who is about to embark on intensive training, has decided to make the most of his last vacation.

The scene inside the pot had completely changed upon entering.

The familiar Summoner's Rift has been transformed into a cool desert beach, where the symphony of sunlight and crashing waves is clear and pleasant, giving it the feel of a resort paradise.

Watching the heroes inside the pot, they were all playing and frolicking on the shore.

Upon arriving here, Ye Bo felt his entire body instantly relax.

He studied the unlockable scenes yesterday and discovered that in addition to the pool party, there were many unexpected scenes waiting to be unlocked.
Seeing these things always motivates me!

On the shore, there was only a blue-haired tailor with pigtails who hadn't gone into the sea; she was diligently working, wielding two-meter-long scissors.

It's obvious that the swimsuits and trunks worn by everyone below all came from here.
Taking the blue swimming trunks handed to him, Ye Bo excitedly plunged into the sea and began to swim vigorously using the "ninja-style dog paddle" he had just learned the day before.

But then, with a sudden lunge, he lurched forward.

Suddenly, they crashed head-on into an object in the water!
Fortunately, it doesn't hurt.

Ye Bo subconsciously reached out with both hands, only to find that what he grasped was a very soft and bouncy texture.
I opened my eyes in the water.

Despite the shimmering reflection of the blue waves and the veil covering her face, her cheeks, flushed red as if dripping with moisture, were still clearly visible behind the veil.

"I rely on!!"

"Before you lean in, could you please let go first?"

Ye Bo casually tried to change the subject.

Just then, I suddenly caught a glimpse of what looked like a figure moving erratically at the bottom of the shore not far away, enveloped by something shimmering with silver light.
and many more?

That looks like Silas!
"Hey~"

A colorful portal appeared beside them, and a large, pink-haired head poked out, pointing in the direction: "He keeps talking about his days locked up in the Demacian water prison, so I'm helping him recall some of his fondest memories~~~"

"Look how happy he is!"

Ye Bo advised helplessly, "Don't play with people like this. They just arrived and you've locked them up down there. They must be so lonely. You should be more polite."

"Oh, I see." The big pink-haired guy made a pitiful face, then went back into the portal.

Ye Bo was still wondering why the troublemaker was being so obedient today.

But he immediately heard a reverberant scream, which seemed to come from afar and then from underwater.

"Twilight Star Spirit! You should goooo ...

The portal reappeared beside them.

"Done! Now he won't be lonely anymore~~~"

"."

Ye Bo was about to say something when a notification popped up suddenly caught his attention: Old Deng's Diary had responded!
And at the same moment.

A major earthquake is simultaneously hitting the headlines of major online forums in the real world!
This is because all official platforms released the announcement simultaneously.

The official roster for the League of Legends event at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games has been announced.
