Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 118, Section 115: The Pressure of a Top-Tier Top Laner (Part 2 of 4)

Yuna Shimamura's performance prevented Canna from having that "this girl is so strong that I can't understand her" feeling.

He himself is a player with a decent skill level, but perhaps due to a lack of talent, he has already approached his limit.

The end of the first-tier line and the peak of the second-tier line—this might be the level he could reach during his peak.

For a team like T1, he was clearly not enough, and even after leaving T1, other LCK teams gradually stopped looking at him.

Unable to prove his worth, he was not valued in South Korea, which is why he left South Korea and came to Europe.

In terms of ability, he can be considered a "disappointed person".

Even so, his years of experience playing in South Korea have given him a level of experience that European top laners can't match.

Even if he himself is not at that level, the saying "even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run" perfectly describes him.

Players with laning skills like Yuna Shimamura are not numerous in the history of League of Legends, but they have existed.

For example, TheShy and Nuguri at their peak, and Zeus now.

These are all players that Canna has personally seen or even fought against.

He could feel the gap between himself and these players, and he could also feel the pressure these players put on him in the laning phase.

Therefore, although Shimamura Yuna is currently very strong in lane, she has not caused him any emotions that are too difficult to understand.

After all, he had seen far too many opponents.

only.
'Is this guy even a match for someone of this caliber?'

Thinking about this, he found it incredible.

Because if a player can give him that feeling, then they are usually a "phenomenal" player.

Although Shimamura Yuna is already a phenomenon.
However, this phenomenal success is due to her status as a female contestant, not her skill level.

But Canna's feelings now are...
No, this guy is noteworthy for more than just being a female contestant.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the aura surrounding her being a female player was so strong that it overshadowed Shimamura Yuna's outstanding laning skills.

He has been playing in the LEC for a while now, and in his opinion, after leaving the professional environment in China and South Korea, there are almost no top laners who can truly make him feel pressured or that are difficult to deal with.

Even Brokenblade, who was considered the best top laner in Europe for a long time, was no match for him.

He, a professional player who could only be considered a second-tier player in the LCK, became truly invincible after leaving the environment of China and Korea.

However, at this moment, she was challenged by another female contestant from Japan, who also came from a region outside of China and South Korea.
It was suppressed.
"incredible."

For Shimamura Yuna, this outcome was only to be expected.

Firstly, in her previous life, laning was her specialty.

The reason is that, in her view, laning is the easiest sport to find a training environment for and the easiest sport to achieve results by practicing alone.

Other things, such as support awareness and game strategy, require a training environment provided by the team or the competition venue.

But not for laning.

It just takes more time to accumulate.

All you need to do is think more about how each hero should be played in lane.

Through this almost ascetic approach, she had long ago acquired laning skills that were among the best in the entire LPL.

She's like a sword fanatic from a novel.
A perfect blend of 10/10 talent and 100/100 effort has made her who she is today.

Even though she already possessed extraordinary laning skills, and it was this exceptional ability that made her stand out among the secondary league players and be valued by LPL teams.

But nothing more.

At that time, for various reasons, her laning ability was not enough to translate into the potential to win the game.

She was aware of her problem, but didn't know what it was, so she could only keep hitting walls like she was going down a dead end.

But now, things are different.

While maintaining her dedication to the art of laning from her previous life, she has also made significant improvements in other areas.

During her season in LCP, although she played very few matches, the scrimmages and the coach's analysis of the games she played helped her realize where her problems lay.

For example, in the past, although she was very strong in the laning phase, once she entered a high-pressure game, she would choose to play defensively and minimize the risk.
This playstyle ensures her own development, but the jungler will naturally suffer.

When the jungle is invaded, no one provides support, and even if they do, they arrive too late.

The reason she came to gank was because she had a very low willingness to trade blows, the opponent was in a very good state, and heroes like Vladimir had low damage in the early game, making it difficult for her to have any effect.

The final result is
She won't die, but the jungler will have a very uncomfortable time playing.

But now, it's different.

During this time, the coach gave her one crucial instruction.

"Since you have talent in the laning phase, don't just focus on farming and playing late game. You need to appropriately share that talent with your teammates."

'The jungler can revolve around you; you and the jungler can be one entity, helping each other. But the prerequisite is that you need to consciously provide assistance to the jungler.'

No. I already knew about this a long time ago.

It's just that she always subconsciously didn't want to do it in the past.

They think, 'What if I get ganked if I push the lane too far?'

I feel like, 'What if I don't protect my own development, and my teammates can't support me?'

But now, she has fully realized one thing: she can't be so selfish.

We need her to do things, we need her to put pressure on us, and we need her to have authority.

Only in this way can we give back to our teammates.

As for the risks that pushing the lane too far can cause, such as getting ganked.
That.
You must choose to trust your teammates.

Make a decision, and then trust your teammates.

And her belief was clearly correct.

With the help of Shimamura Yuna's lane priority, Scorpion played very proactively, frequently going into the enemy jungle to find the enemy jungler's location.

Although Skarner is not a match for Vi in jungle duels.

But no problem.

He doesn't need to fight against it.

All he needs to do is pinpoint the enemy jungler's location, and then make it difficult for the enemy jungler to do anything and expose his whereabouts.

Thanks to Shimamura Yuna's laning advantage, they almost completely took control of the upper half of the map.

The opposing jungler had almost no choice but to give up on doing anything in the top half of the map and focus all their energy and attention on the bottom half.

However.
The CFO is very familiar with this situation.

They've used this tactic countless times in training matches.

If the top laner is pushing the lane by default, then the bottom laner should let the lane go.

In short, the goal is to minimize the number of weaknesses the team can exploit at the same time.

While the CFO team isn't exactly known for its strong individual skills—aside from Shimamura Yuna, the rest are just average—they're not particularly outstanding.

However, the relatively strong training groups in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan can enable some players who are not originally strong to bring out their value in a more reasonable way.

From KC's perspective, the CFO is almost flawless.

The top laner is constantly protected by bodyguards and can't be killed, while the bottom laner is huddled up and hard to gank.

They lack the ability to forcefully break through and create opportunities that some LPL and LCK teams possess.

Some opportunities that LPL and LCK players might see as viable are either invisible or unsettleable to players like KC. Therefore, all they can do is peacefully develop their resources with CFO and exchange resources.

The CFO takes the nest bug, so they take the baby dragon.

This is clearly a scene that Shimamura Yuna is happy to see.

This match was extremely low in gore; in the current version, it was so slow it was almost boring and put you to sleep.

It's basically the two formulas trading rice and money with each other.

The first wave of kills didn't occur until the 12-minute mark.

KC finally gave Vi an opportunity, and with the help of the mid laner, they ganked the bottom lane 4-on-2 and took down a tower plate.

Did you make a profit?
made money.

Moreover, judging from the economic data alone, they've made quite a bit of money.

But, it doesn't mean much.

because
Yuna Shimamura's finishing blows are still going strong!!!

Her pressure on the blade is still increasing!!!
After this exchange, the commentator specifically mentioned, "Although KC gained some advantage in this exchange, it seems they haven't been able to take an economic lead over CFO."

"Moreover, the vampire's finishing blows are far ahead!"

Yes, the commentary used this word a lot.

How much is it?

In short, Shimamura Yuna had 130 dollars ahead of time.

The wolf mother, however, was just short of 100 cuts.

On this basis, Shimamura Yuna also took advantage of the fact that the Avengers were assembled on KC's side and no one was watching online, so she didn't teleport and just showed off the tower plates.

Eat until you're full.

Again.

The CFO knew from the beginning that letting the bot lane be left to its own devices like this would cause problems.

However, they didn't care from the beginning.

because
The ball is in Shimamura Yuna's hands.

This AD is just for you to kill. If you want to kill, then just kill.

There's only one key point, and that is...
Yuna Shimamura is still leveling up on her own!
Thanks to Shimamura Yuna's solo lead, CFO, despite being two kills behind, still had a slight economic advantage of 100 gold over KC.

All of the team's lead was concentrated on Vampire alone.

If we only consider the vampires, she's already almost 1000 dollars ahead of the wolf mother.

Viewers who frequently watch Yuna Shimamura's live streams will find this scene somewhat familiar.

A classic moment: a teammate gets caught, and the player laughs while spamming the chat.

The classic "eat minions and steal their skin" troop, but I'm not in team fights.

Everyone recalled the days when Shimamura Yuna was constantly being cursed at by her own jungler on the ranked ladder, and was called a cancer by the chat every day.

Now, everything seems like it was just yesterday.

But now, unlike before, Shimamura Yuna always discusses things with the team before deciding whether to act like a dead person or do nothing.

Everything is part of the team's tactics.

All she needs to do is prove that she is worth the team's investment and that she deserves all of this.
The timeline of the competition continues to unfold.

The low level of gore in the match remained largely unchanged until the 25th minute.

In the next ten minutes, another small-scale team fight broke out, resulting in a 2-for-3 exchange.

The head-to-head ratio is 2:5.

The CFO is three heads behind, so if we only look at that, we can say they are actually at a disadvantage.

However, looking at the economic data, the two sides remain locked in a tight battle.

The economies are almost identical.

Apart from Shimamura Yuna, everyone else actually lost a few hundred dollars.

And it seems that all the money lost—several hundred dollars—was transferred to Shimamura Yuna alone.

是 的
With her exceptional resource allocation and solid fundamentals, Shimamura Yuna has already surpassed Wolf Mother by nearly a full set of skills.

A nearly complete set
She had a complete three-piece set, while the Wolf Mother had a two-piece set with a few extra small pieces.

At this point, while the vampire's equipment was fully developed and his combat power reached its peak, the equipment gap between him and the wolf mother also reached its maximum.

Furthermore, due to the excessive weakness of the lower half of the deck in the early stages, Xiaolong has now been controlled by KC to three of them, and is about to refresh the deck to draw a winning hand.

From the perspective of the current situation, the CFO also has no choice but to take over.

A top lane carry with fully developed abilities, and a game situation where the team is pressured by a dragon that has already been drawn.
At this moment, for the CFO, it is a perfect storm of favorable conditions, a move that must be made.

KC also realized that if this dragged on, the opponent's two late-game carries in the mid and top lanes would get strong and make the game increasingly difficult.

Neither side wanted to escape anymore.

Neither side wanted to continue dragging it out.

After a stalemate that lasted for almost 25 minutes, this team fight had to decide the winner.

Around the Dragon Pit, the view was carefully arranged and repeatedly cleared, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air.

KC's members secured advantageous positions first, while Vi waited at the entrance of the Dragon Pit, ready to pounce.

Instead of rashly launching a full-scale attack, the CFO looked for opportunities around the Dragon Pit.

Instead of ambushing from a blind spot, Shimamura Yuna's vampire chose to position himself directly in front of the formation, using aggressive movement to try and put pressure on the opponent.

Soon, the dragon respawned.

KC, having secured the dragon pit first, chose to engage the dragon directly.

Under the attacks of Kai'Sa and Vi, two percentage-based champions, the dragon's health dropped very quickly; almost instantly, its health bar was already half gone.

There was no time to hesitate.
Realizing this, Junjia no longer hesitated, immediately activated Scorpion's E skill, and fearlessly charged into the crowd.

He knew that if he went in like that, he would surely die.

If I go in like this, I definitely won't be able to hold on.

But it doesn't matter.
All he had to do was absorb the first wave of fire for Shimamura Yuna.

"I'm going in! I'm going in! Follow me! Follow me!"

Unsurprisingly, the scorpion was almost instantly melted upon entering the arena.

However, before he died, he still managed to use his ultimate ability to trap the enemy's bottom laner and jungler.

The opponent probably thought the scorpion would die soon, so they didn't even use Flash to avoid the ultimate skill.

However, in reality, just this moment of concentration is enough.

Seeing this, Shimamura Yuna immediately used Flash to unleash her pre-charged E, and in the timing when the opponents had just broken free from Scorpion's control and hadn't had time to get away, she directly used R to hit three people.

r is not the most common.

However, Alora, Kai'Sa, Vi
These are all the most crucial figures in the opposing team's formation!
'We won.'

Even though the team fight had only just begun and her side had already suffered a loss, Shimamura Yuna had this intuition.
