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

Chapter 354 A New Idea on the Spot? The Ultimate "Reverse Version"!
The "Roaring Emperor," who had been roaring at the top of his lungs on the commentary platform, finally leaned back in his chair, panting.

"That's terrifying! But even if it's YE, he can't possibly take on four people by himself!"

He took a deep breath: "We have to say, YE is indeed a respectable opponent. He didn't back down an inch in the last wave, he was like a tragic hero for the CN team!"

"But Ruler also carries the glory of all the legendary AD players in Korea! Bang, imp, Viper, and Gosht are all embodied in him at this moment, plus Deft beside him! He is not fighting alone, he is not alone!"

"We've won a game! Now, if we win two more, we can complete our comeback!"

The Korean audience in the audience finally got their revenge, venting the frustration they had been suppressing for the past two games, and the Korean-language live stream room, which had been silent, came alive again.

[This is seriously terrifying! My heart almost stopped watching it, and it nearly flipped me over!]

[Still no comeback? What you're about to witness is the most predictable comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2 this century!]

[Ha! I knew the original team was a mole within CN! He definitely received huge benefits from the Chinese company miHoYo! Replacing him was the key to victory; the coaching staff was brilliant!]

[So what's the point of replacing Chovy with Dafei? He picked Titan, had a huge advantage, yet still had a bad record, and got completely overwhelmed by reckless micro-management. Was he just brought in to get beaten up?]

[This super filial son is making a scene! I asked you, did you only win because you switched to Faker?! Why didn't you win before?!]

To be honest, Feifei's Titan was really just playing passively this game; if they had brought in Super Mighty, they could have won!

Meanwhile, the LPL live stream on the other side was also filled with excitement.

However, since they still held two match points, the audience's focus was clearly not on the overall situation, but rather on criticizing and arresting war criminals.

[Damn it, so how many players do you expect Master Ye to play?! Including the substitutes, there are more than ten on both sides! Can't my teammates act like human beings?!]

[I'm so moved! That last wave was truly a tragic hero moment. Knowing he was outmatched, he still went in. He really wanted to protect everything in CNLOL!]

[This is ridiculous! There wasn't a single human among them! They seemed like they'd wiped them all out if they'd even been a little low on health, but they were all at full health!]

[Isn't this entirely Baka and Welcoming Pine's fault? Why include the other two?]

[It's really not clean; the classic gun-wielding incident doesn't kill, but it supports its father; the classic prison case gets its dragon stolen.]

[Welcome to the epic drama series: "YE and His Four Flaws" — I'm totally seeing last year's EDG!]

When the CN members returned backstage, their spirits were somewhat low.

No one is happy when they lose a game.

But what's truly important is understanding why you lost each game, and finding value in those losses.

The answer is obvious.

In the first two games, KR focused on the mid-jungle game and accumulating advantages in the top lane, while the bottom lane was mainly used for burning heroes and playing a system-building role.

Perhaps because the double marksman laning strategy failed to produce any results in the first game, the KR team subconsciously felt that this was not a good strategy, so they did not focus on it in the future.

Unexpectedly, this might actually be the biggest flaw in CN!

Especially support roles.

Although Liu Qingsong was also a champion support player, his skills have declined significantly and he is not much better than Meiko. He was initially valued for his synergy with Gala's teammates.

In fact, Liu Qingsong has been "lost" quite a few times in the competition this year. He often gets confused inexplicably in the mid-game and often makes inexplicable mistakes in team battles, which can be described as being both godlike and demonic.

The coaching staff has tried to improve this problem on the opposing team, but the results have not been significant.

In the world of professional gamers, "team fights" and "awareness" are elusive concepts that are difficult to describe in concrete terms.

It could even be said that it is impossible to "learn" at all.

Each game features a different lineup, and the course and situation of the game will vary. Multiple factors such as the enemy's heroes, skills, operations, and responses will have an immediate impact, making every second a rapidly changing situation.

In short — there is no formula to apply!

99% of it is talent!

Even the most skilled screen-switching observer cannot truly "control" another person playing the game in a physical sense; at most, they can only provide assistance at crucial turning points.

Well, the problem is coming.

Why didn't this problem occur in the first two games?
The reason is actually very simple.

The first match featured Salafine from the wheelchair-bound group. She was almost always the last one to unleash her skills, so you could hardly ever see her.

The second one was even more about cats, and even more so about "clingy cats" that almost never got out of the car!
The strength of these two lineups masked the problem!
Attentive viewers will notice that the support player for the CN team appeared on camera no more than five times in the first two matches!
If Beryl had played in the third game, perhaps the pressure on the bottom lane wouldn't have been so great.

After all, laning has never been Beryl's strong suit.

Ye Bo didn't expect that, after such a defeat in the first game, the opposing team would re-select the double AD and double marksman combination of Deft and Ruler.

This time, under the restrictions of "Global BP", the CN team no longer had any strange defensive combinations and finally revealed their weaknesses.

more importantly.

Everyone seemed to realize that this problem was a dead end.

Aside from the jungle being somewhat normal, the top lane was basically just a matter of taking hits. By the mid-game, Camille naturally had an advantage that was difficult to deal with.

The bottom lane was completely destroyed from the start.

Even if someone in the middle lane had three heads and six arms, they couldn't possibly manage both the top and bottom lanes at the same time!

"It's ok."

The atmosphere inside the room didn't remain oppressive for long before a voice broke the silence.

"I'm not trying to comfort everyone. Since I'm the captain, the loss is my problem."

"Everyone has off days, and we're teammates, so it's not a problem."

Ye Bo felt that since his teammates trusted him and the national team had chosen him to be their captain, then losing was his responsibility; that was his true thought.

He didn't blame his teammates.

He was just thinking about how he could do better so he could win the last round.

Undoubtedly, the current situation is far from optimistic.

The opposing team seems to have discovered the problem in the bottom lane, and they will most likely continue to play this way in the next game. The game cannot proceed without cracking this weakness.

The situation in the next round will be even more severe.

The bot lane champion pool has been completely exhausted, and they can probably only pick champions that are weak in the current version. They even picked Luna, who is relatively strong in the laning phase, but they still couldn't win. What should they do if they are forced to choose a weak combination in the next game?
At the same time, the problems of getting on the road are also difficult to solve.

Ye Bo's mind was racing with thoughts.

To be honest, there's still a lot more in their V5 "Strategy Library".

However, firstly, the version is wrong, and many heroes are simply unplayable in this version, since almost everything prepared is for the World Championship.

Secondly, this is also V5's secret weapon in preparation for the World Championship, and revealing it here is obviously not a good option.

Not to mention, most importantly: there are people on the other side who also know those things.

"If this is the case"

To break the deadlock, unless Ye Bo can come up with something "new" on the spot.

The good news is, Ye Bo, there really is one.

After all, given his usual training volume, his mind is rich with flashes of inspiration and tactics. The most valuable ones have been stored in V5's strategy library, while the less mature ones are not something he can bring out every single one of, so he has written them all down in his mental notebook.

The bad news is that Ye Bo didn't voice these ideas because they were somewhat "unreliable."

This means that none of them have been tested in actual combat.

It seems that this is the only way now.

"If you trust me, I have a tactic that we might try."

The first half is clearly somewhat superfluous.

The entire CN team was united in purpose, especially after these three matches. No one could possibly disagree with Ye Bo's words. Everyone had complete faith in him, even though he was actually the youngest.

However, at the same time, the KR team on the other side was not so friendly.

The celebratory atmosphere that had just been filled with the joy of winning a game has now turned into a debate.

"Isn't it obvious now? The enemy bot lane has no champions, and YE will be forced to play hard carries in this version due to the draft! So we definitely need to put Zhixun in!"

Score argued vehemently, his tone unyielding: "I'm not talking about Sang-hyeok, but you all saw how he performed on the field. In the first two games, Ji-hoon was made to play the kind of utility mid-laner that he's not good at. This game, a carry vs. carry matchup, should be his forte!"

"Let me be frank, if the mid lane had been a clash between two carry champions in the last game, we wouldn't have almost been turned around!"

Score spoke with righteous indignation, but his motives were not so simple.

It's not like my GEN players lost the first two games, and then your T1 players went up and won three games in a row, and got the gold medal?

Doesn't that make everyone in GEN look like a complete waste?!
Winning this match or not makes absolutely no difference!

No, it's more like winning means losing even more!

There are clearly such people everywhere, who prioritize their own selfish interests above all else, and whose ultimate goal is naturally to "divide the cake".

The key point is that what he said actually makes sense—whether it's the off-stage audience or the backstage coaches, it seems that Faker's Titan didn't have a single standout performance on stage, and was completely dominated by Ryze throughout the game.

They didn't change anyone else, but replaced Chovy to fill what seemed to be the "last vacancy".

One more time, and the muscles will win.

That seems perfectly reasonable.

"What do you guys think?" Kkoma first turned to look at his beloved player Faker, and then looked at the others.

"I have no objection," Lee Sang-hyeok said frankly, without denying the sharpness in the other party's words.

“What Dongbin said does make some sense,” Hongmi, who had never worked with Faker, also said.

Meanwhile, Danny and Kim Jung-soo, seeing that both of them were saying this, didn't want to offend Score, and since they genuinely didn't think there was anything wrong with it, they remained silent.

"Qianxi, what do you think?"

Kouma looked at Beryl one last time.

"If, if the opponent still follows the same draft logic as last time, then SuperWilliams might be more effective. Big carry vs. big carry is indeed more stable."

"but."

Beryl hesitated for a moment, then left out what came next.

Because he didn't know either.

"Let's not think about things that are uncertain, because they're not something we can control. Let's just leave it at that."

Kouma finally made the decision.

but.

A person sitting in the corner had a somewhat stiff expression throughout.

Oh no. Doesn't anyone want to ask for my opinion?

Both players are about to take the stage.

When the commentators announced the substitution information again, the live chat exploded once more.

[What's going on? Are you really going to use a rotation system? Why don't you just bring over all the mid laners from the LCK as substitutes?]

[Where did they learn this tactic of rotating through the honeymoon period?]

[I'm Conan from the Peninsula, and I'm definitely the one Score wants to replace. I think everyone with the ID Scoxx is born with top-tier talent!]

[You're a tadpole! Conan, my foot! You're getting the better of me and then acting innocent—it's obvious Koma knew he'd angered Coach Ye, and whoever played this game would suffer. He deliberately abused his head coaching authority to force someone out!]

[It doesn't matter. Even we table tennis players know to give Japan a point, so what's wrong with giving South Korea a point at the Asian Games? Just wait!]

[You know what, if it weren't for Coach Ye this year, and they replaced the mid-laner with a player like Zuo Shou or Xiao Hu (or a toothpaste-like player) at the Asian Games, I doubt they'd even get a silver medal, let alone gold!]

BP started quickly.

By the fourth game, there was little left to play in the draft phase, as there were only a few heroes worth fighting for, and the only suspense was whether the first pick was the best.

"It seems that the CN team has also been forced into a corner, and they have banned Gwen, Jax, and Renekton in a row. The pressure on the top lane is too great!" Roaring Emperor's tone had clearly relaxed.

"But have they forgotten? In the last game, Ruler and Deft in the bot lane were the real key players. They let Caitlyn and Draven out of the way like that. What are they going to do in the bot lane?"

"In comparison, our KR team's bans haven't changed much; it's just mindlessly restricting the mid laner!"

"So the only one worth fighting for on both sides should be Tsar, and CN will probably definitely give it to YE Sion!?"

The Roaring Emperor couldn't help but laugh when he saw this; anyone who didn't know better would think they were the ones in the lead.

Clearly, it seems that CN felt the top lane was too threatening, and preferred to give up Azir in order to pick Sion first.

As expected, Team KR immediately picked Azir and Caitlyn, while Team CN predictably picked Jinx and Leona.

Although Leona looks a bit strange, Jinx is already the only true carry – it's just that she hasn't been buffed in patch 13.9 yet, and at this point, she's at most a second-tier carry!
KR didn't rush to pick a champion for the top laner on the third floor; instead, they picked Draven first.

"It's really here. The female police officer and Draven bot lane combo!" Even Wang Duoduo's tone was a little hesitant.

"CN team's draft picks in this match were just too unconventional; they practically gave the opponent the heroes they wanted most!"

Entering the second round of BP.

Team CN continues to ban top laners, banning Fiora who can split push and Aatrox who is good against Sion.

KR also continues to increase their investment in mid lane.

The two sides are clearly a five-ban mid laner vs. a five-ban top laner!
"KR team picked Lee Sin on the fourth floor first, completely blocking all paths in the mid lane!"

"What about the CN team? Talon and Nocturne!?"

"What the hell is this?! This version is wrong, Master Ye! And how is Talon supposed to fight Azir?!"

You could already tell from Wang Duoduo's tone that he was anxious.

The mid-jungle duo of Nightmare and Talon is not unfamiliar; V5 picked it once before in the Summer Finals against WBG.

But that was the Summer Finals version.

It's 13.9 now!

Assassin equipment hasn't been buffed yet, nor have Talon and Nightmare — this is purely a choice made against the meta.

On the contrary, their opponent, Roaring Emperor, had already figured it out.

"Is YE, the captain of the CN Chinese team, once again determined to shoulder the heavy responsibility?"

"However, it seems that KR's decision to bring Chovy on in this game was a wise move that they anticipated!"

"Although split-pushing heroes have been completely banned, it doesn't matter, Zeus still has Rumble!"

"Although Rumble hasn't been buffed in this patch, Zeus has practiced him a lot in the Summer Split and he plays well against Sion!"

The lineups for both sides have been finalized.

Blue Team: CHN China National Team

Red side: KOR (South Korean National Team)

Top Lane: Undead Warrior vs. Mechanical Enemy

[Jungle: Nightmare vs. Lee Sin]

Mid Lane: Talon vs. Azir

[Marksman: Rampaging Lolita vs. Glorious Executioner]

Support: Leona vs. Caitlyn
