Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 130, Section 127: Defeat TES! (Part 2 of 3)

"Oh my god, this is so humiliating. As an LPL fan, I just can't stand it anymore."

"Sigh, how did things turn out like this? You, Shimamura Yuna, really have to be so ruthless with our LPL's first champion AD carry!!!"

"Do you really have to go against us LPL fans?"

The Dragon God's casual remarks won't change the outcome.

On the field, the TES players had a more direct and intense experience of the match.

They have now basically lost the will to fight.

Even though the game wasn't over yet, he was already fully aware of his impending fate.

They had already accepted their fate.

The game is not over yet.

But in their hearts, the game was already over.

Start from when you're at a disadvantage in the early stages.
No, perhaps even earlier.

Before today's match begins.

From the moment Cream and Kanavi first clashed within the team, everyone basically foresaw the current outcome.

Their feelings about this were less about loss, sadness, or helplessness, and more about a numbness that was almost utterly calm.

I had absolutely no desire or feeling to continue.

An unprecedented and intense sense of powerlessness lingered in 369's heart on the field.

He had felt this sense of powerlessness countless times.

This always happens at crucial moments in the World Championship.
The game always collapses in some unprecedented and unimaginable way.

No matter how confident a team was before, once they reach this point, they can't help but start to doubt and question themselves.

You will always encounter setbacks that you never imagined or even guessed before.

Is it my fault?

He was always thinking about this topic.

'Is it because of me that all of this happened?'

Looking back on his career, from his early days as a spirited young player and the crown prince of Top Esports, to his later role as the "Eternal Hunters" of JDG, and then his return to TES...
He felt that things were generally going smoothly.

He earns more than most LPL players.

Although I may not win any prestigious championships, I am still considered a competitive player in the LPL.

But always
Always, at the most crucial moment, things always fall apart.

It could be yourself, someone else, or the entire team.

It was as if he was cursed, as if the heavens had cursed him to never achieve the results he desired.

Just like it is now.

In the broader context of professional gamers, he is perhaps more successful than 99% of them.

He earned more money than many people could earn in a lifetime, and even if he retires now, he will be financially independent.

However, if we further restrict the circle of comparison...

When compared to a group of professional players who are equally successful in terms of finances and career, he feels that his career seems to be worthless.

Despite having a high starting point and having had decent teammates throughout his career, he has never won a single championship.

Whose problem is it?
Who brought him to this current predicament?

Sometimes, he really felt like he couldn't figure things out.

Have I lost my ambition?
Have I lost my fighting spirit?
I remember when he chose to stay with TES at the beginning of this year, a group of people on the internet insulted him, saying that his life would be over because of this choice.

They say he lacks ambition and is stuck in his comfort zone.

In fact, he admitted it.

He admitted that he was a cowardly and timid person.

He admitted that he was someone who was afraid to take responsibility.

But for him, who has been sensitive and lacked love since childhood, TES manager Guo Hao is like a father figure to him.

His former teammate JKL, as well as other staff members, are also indispensable friends in his life.

All of this may seem insignificant to others, things that can be given up compared to "future" and "future prospects," but to him, they are equally precious treasures.

Did you do anything wrong?

He just didn't want to be separated from these things.

He was just...
I don't want to leave all of this.

'Am I wrong?'

He didn't know, he couldn't figure it out.

But
He just wanted to do everything he could to prove himself right.

To prove that there was no problem with my choice.

Academic performance, and the comforting things we rely on, are equally important.
He wants to prove that he can achieve good results even if he stays with TES.

When he won the first stage, he truly felt that his choice was right.

His high morale and burning passion intertwined, giving him great anticipation for the Vanguard Tournament.

He sincerely hoped: "I wish we could win."

Even though outsiders were not optimistic and thought that TES's championship this year was due to the decline in the overall competitiveness of the LPL, rather than their own skillful play.

Even if the whole world is saying, "This lineup has no hope for the Vanguard Tournament."

Miracles do exist, he had always believed that.

However, the miracle did not seem to happen.

Reality seemed to be constantly reminding him of this.

Those viewers who criticized and humiliated him were not wrong.

I am just a cowardly, timid, useless person who dares not leave his comfort zone.

They dare not go to places other than TES to prove themselves.

They dare not join stronger teams to achieve better results.

The current situation seems to be the best proof of that.

My choice was truly wrong.

自己
There's really no way to refute that.

The pace of the game was almost entirely one-sided from the very beginning.

It was a one-sided victory with no suspense whatsoever.

Advantages in the bottom lane, advantages in the top lane, and advantages in the jungle.

In almost every respect, this was a match that felt like a foregone conclusion.

It was even less of a suspenseful outcome than the first game.

In fact, the first game was much more dominant in terms of kills.

The pace of this game was actually quite stable.

However, the impression it gives is...
They had absolutely no chance to fight back.

There is absolutely no chance of turning the tide.

There was absolutely no way to win. So they just kept running wildly, heading towards what seemed like a certain death.

The biggest highlight of this match was actually the exaggerated performance of Shimamura Yuna.

Everyone knows that Shimamura Yuna has a strong laning ability, and everyone has expected that.

However, based on this expectation, Shimamura Yuna's laning ability is a hundred times stronger than anyone imagined.

In fact, Shimamura Yuna's vampire in this match didn't have any irreplaceable or unique tactical role.

The Dragon God is right. If she picks Ryze and plays like that, it will definitely be more aggressive.

Then it won't just be a lane dominance anymore; there's a high probability that we'll get a kill in lane this game.

However, even as a vampire, she achieved an exaggerated economic advantage in her lane.

Every time the camera switches to that angle, you see Shimamura Yuna attacking and attacking from the sidelines, effortlessly dodging all the harpoons, and keeping the distance so that Rumble can barely trade blows with her.

She, a contestant already known for her mechanical demeanor, now transformed into something unlike anything before, appearing almost like a real robot.

This state is certainly unsustainable.

The whole world knows, everyone knows.

Even Shimamura Yuna herself knew this.

However, winning this one game is enough.

This was just a group stage match, an "exhibition match" that had nothing to do with qualifying for the knockout stage or the subsequent knockout rounds.

This is true, at least for the CFO.

No matter how they play, they can easily advance.

However.
For the LCP region, as long as the core concept of "challenging LPL" remains, the level of passion in this match will be unprecedented.

At this moment, it's not just the five CFO candidates on the field.

It seems that even the commentators, the fans, and all the League of Legends professionals who have worked in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan have poured their energy into this project.

"If they can really win this match, it could be a life-changing battle for LCP recently."

TES is just a remnant of a defeated army, a group of people who have lost their fighting spirit, and a team that has lost its cohesion.

Even so, they are still LPL, a giant compared to LCP.

Being able to challenge and defeat giants, regardless of the process, is something the whole world can be proud of, as long as the result is there.

Yuna Shimamura, along with the entire CFO team, certainly did not disappoint.

This match, which seemed hopeless for TES from the very beginning, was finally brought to a complete collapse in a dragon fight.

The CFO couldn't even say that there was anything particularly groundbreaking about their team-building efforts.

Scorpion simply rushed in naturally, grabbed three people with his ultimate move, then Shimamura Yuna came over and unleashed her ultimate move, followed by the others unleashing all their damage.

Relying on their huge early-game laning advantage, as well as the significant economic gap resulting from their superior team fights and micro-management, CFO almost effortlessly defeated TES in the final 5v5 team fight where all members were assembled.

TES is not on the same level as CFO in terms of damage, tankiness, or any other aspect.

Although JKL and Liu Qingsong still made some somewhat comical plays in this team fight, making people wonder, "If they hadn't done that, would they have won?"

But in reality, if every single detail in a team fight has to be flawless to have a chance of winning, then the game itself is pretty hopeless.

It can be said that this team battle was not a turning point, but rather the result of countless accumulated factors.

Just like in Kamen Rider, Rider Kick is not an offensive skill, but a ritual to kill.

It is the final blow after countless heavy punches and grappling, whittling down the enemy's health to the kill threshold.

The same applies to this match.

After a long build-up of twenty minutes, CFO's accumulated advantage was finally large enough to crush TES, and thus, this team fight delivered a fatal blow to TES.

That's all.

A one-for-five exchange, which wasn't particularly suspenseful, ultimately determined the outcome of the game.

After that, TES put up a last-ditch effort, but it really was just a last-ditch effort.

After this team fight, the economic gap between the two sides had reached an astonishing 10,000, making it almost impossible for them to lose.

Perhaps only a peak SKT team could create a miracle in this situation.

The currently lifeless TES team does not have this ability.

After that fight, TES was soon forced into another team fight by CFO.

After this team fight, the game finally came to an end.

"Won."

The moment she won, Shimamura Yuna let out a deep breath, feeling all the pressure she had been under throughout the entire game was released in that instant.

Because the win was so easy, she even felt that everything seemed a little unreal.

Despite being a nominally giant, TES didn't put as much pressure on her in actual matches as TL and KC did.

Even so, defeating the Titans is defeating the Titans.

A remarkable achievement is a remarkable achievement.

The teammates jumped up excitedly the moment they won.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!!!"

"Holy crap, we really won!!! We really won!!!"

Everyone felt that what was happening in this instant was somewhat unreal.

But the cheers from the audience and the flashing lights on the stage...
All this genuine feedback made it feel like it wasn't a dream.

[Shimamura-san is awesome!!!]

[The CFO is awesome!!!]

The deafening cheers and celebrations seemed to penetrate directly into the soul.

Even the Dragon God, who has always been a bit of a show-off and doesn't care about anything, couldn't help but sigh when he heard the cheers coming from the online live stream and saw the lights shining on Shimamura Yuna and the others.

"To be honest, there's not much to say about this match; it was just so-so."

"but"

"I'd guess that for the CFO and these fans, winning this game might be more exciting than some teams winning the championship."

"I think Hanwha will most likely win this competition. But I think even if Hanwha wins later, the buzz won't be as high as if CFO had won this competition. I have a feeling that Shimamura-san will be trending soon, and you should believe me."

"Soon, TES and Shimamura will all be trending on social media. It's just that they'll be trending in different ways."

At this point, Xuan Shen couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my god, Shimamura is going to take advantage of JKL completely. If Hanwha deliberately throws a game against them and loses to TL, then TES won't even make it into the playoffs."

"Damn it, the LPL's number one seed went to the World Championship, and they couldn't even make it to the knockout stage in the group stage. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"I have a feeling that TES is doomed this time."

The live chat was filled with praise for Shimamura Yuna and mockery of TES.

But the Dragon God fell silent, which was unusual for him.

I didn't switch to watch anything else, nor did I play games or wait for other competitions to start.

After waiting for a while, she blurted out, "Shimamura-nee is amazing."

Then there was a silence for several tens of seconds.

She added, "Shimamura-san is truly amazing."

"Shimamura-nee, the dynasty is over."

As the Dragon God said, with the victory in this match, an unprecedented frenzy of public opinion swept across the internet.
