Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 149, Section 146: The Second Beating of Zeus

In short, Shimamura Yuna made far too many of these seemingly abstract maneuvers during the laning phase of this match.

These operations were not only abstract to Zeus, but in fact, they were very abstract to everyone.

Everyone had the same feeling.

'You really opened it?'

Since the start of this match, the most frequently used words in the live chat have been "open" and "full version".

There's no way around it, they really look too alike.

The player's first-person perspective thought it looked similar.

The director, from God's-eye view, thought it looked more like it.

If she hadn't been knocked into the air a couple of times in the middle, everyone would have really thought she forgot to close Word.exe.

Fans are even saying things like, "Shimamura-san's reaction was too quick."

But from Shimamura Yuna's own perspective, her actions and reactions were actually unrelated.

Fiora's Flamethrower cannot be predicted or timed.

Or rather, it is possible.

But the scoring hero.

Champions like Sion are basically impossible to predict with a fixed timer. Anyone who can predict Sion's Q is truly superhuman, a complete master, no exaggeration.

She relies solely on gambling and betting.

Moreover, it's a game with a very low win rate.

But she didn't know how to describe that feeling.

Just
The enemy's psychology and the timing of their loosening of Q are actually traceable and rhythmic.

Once the first wave of the game is successful, it's easy to grasp the rhythm of the opponent's psychological changes.

Similar to sayings like, "If I bet right this time, he will definitely be more inclined to change the point at which his charge ends next time," or "If I bet right again this time, he will probably change his mind next time."

In reality, every wave is a gamble, every wave is a guess.

However, after guessing correctly in the first round, the opponent had already fallen into Shimamura Yuna's trap and rhythm in the psychological game.

His subordinates' thinking was guided by Shimamura Yuna, and his every action was seen through by Shimamura Yuna.

At this point, it may be called rock-paper-scissors, but it's no longer a fair game.

In reality, it was a fake rock-paper-scissors game where Shimamura Yuna had a higher winning percentage; Shimamura Yuna was cheating.

Of course, she will lose too.

No matter how high the odds are, gambling is still gambling.

But she had already made several crucial and fatal moves in the early stages of the game.

Sion might occasionally succeed in his gamble, but Fiora wins most of the time.

Therefore, an occasional success is not very meaningful.

If Zeus wanted to break free from this vortex of guided thinking, he would have to try to reset his mindset, abandon habitual thinking, and make his games more like a true random process.

He's trying it too.

However, the human brain cannot make truly random choices, not even simulated ones.

So, in the end, he was still being relentlessly outmaneuvered by Shimamura Yuna, and relentlessly attacked by her.

After the sword was wielded for a while, Zeus completely stopped playing against Shimamura Yuna.

If you have Q available, use it immediately with a short Q to deal damage. As long as Shimamura Yuuna is in front of you, don't charge up your Q to clear minions.

We will absolutely not allow Shimamura Yuna to stage an accident.

That's why everyone says you should use a script to play Fiora.

If Fiora's W could guarantee a 100% success rate in striking, that would be incredibly overpowered.

It's disgusting.

This matchup left the audience completely dumbfounded.

Holy crap, Shimamura-san actually got something this time!

This really has nothing to do with how well Sion played; it's just too outrageous.

[That blind-vision prediction of Sion's Q from the bush was outrageous. The player using the ward would definitely think she had a ward there. If she later finds out there wasn't one, I wonder how the player using the ward will react.]

Although the element of gambling is indeed very large.

But
Yuna Shimamura won her bet.

As a result, Fiora completely dominated the early laning phase against Sion, a matchup that was originally based on skill and technique.

Any expert who looked at Shimamura Yuna's early gameplay would think she was crazy.

How could anyone play games like that?
How could anyone gamble like that?
To gamble on a probability that is likely far less than fifty percent?

But she won her gamble.

Then, what they got in return was a return that far exceeded their expectations.

'Can we win? Can we win? Can we win?'

After realizing that her laning advantage was growing and that all her risky moves had yielded tangible benefits, Shimamura Yuna felt her heart almost stop beating.

She felt that victory was just around the corner.

It feels like all my actions have yielded tangible benefits.

so.
'Can we win?'

Because he was being beaten so badly in lane, Zeus was once again forced to switch lanes.

As mentioned before, in the current version, a top lane advantage is generally not as useful. No matter how big your advantage is, it will be somewhat diminished once you switch lanes.

What followed was, of course, a natural exchange of lines and resources.

The same goes for this one.

As a very mature and powerful team, HLE couldn't stop the CFO from constantly changing, but overall, they managed to curb Shimamura Yuna's overly rapid growth through this action.

Even so, for the audience, the impressions so far are enough to leave everyone in shock.

Who exactly is Zeus?

This is a two-time S-series champion top laner, one of whom was also the FMVP. He is currently almost universally recognized as the world's best top laner.

Yuna Shimamura's ability to completely dominate Zeus' lane in two consecutive games was considered by viewers to be an outrageous performance.

But anyone who understands the game knows that Shimamura Yuna's ability to win against Zeus in these two matches wasn't because she was actually that much stronger than Zeus in terms of raw skill.

It's simply because she played those two games in a rather unconventional way.

It goes without saying that he has changed his usual conservative style and become more radical.

The problem is, her approach is hardly radical.

That's pure recklessness, pure gambler's play.

These are all operations where you only earn 30% if you win, but lose everything immediately if you lose; the returns and risks are completely disproportionate.

For example, in the first game, if her Camille had missed her kick, she would probably have been chased down by Gnar and forced to use Flash, or at least lost half her health if she didn't lose Flash.

For example, her frequent attempts to counter Sion's Flare Blade were a gamble where she would be finished off if she got hit by Sion's Q, and the probability of getting hit by the Q was far greater than the probability of landing a Flare Blade.

All I can say is that when a person who is usually conservative decides to be radical, their radicalism is often incomprehensible to ordinary people and is purely extreme.

She is a pure diode.

It's pure gambler's play.

Zeus was completely unprepared for this kind of gambling; he never expected Shimamura Yuna to play like a madman.

In the first game with Camille, I could say I was a bit careless and let stereotypes get me down.

The second game was simply because the opposing team had completely gone mad.

To put it bluntly, it's actually a bit like a bunch of idiots trying to beat experts.

Zeus was genuinely feeling inexplicably frustrated.

I felt like I was playing perfectly fine, but the other player used some very unconventional and aggressive tactics, which forced me into a corner and killed me.

It's as if the other party is unwilling to engage in a direct confrontation, but instead directly hands the answer over to a game of Russian roulette.

Unfortunately, the bullet from the spinning wheel hit him on the head.

"Ugh, this is so annoying."

Zeus was finding it difficult to control his inner anxiety and desire to win.

He now has a somewhat naive idea: "You dare to make us start over? This time I won't fall for your tricks."

But that's obviously impossible.

Shimamura Yuna was simply trying to gain points in these two crucial games by exploiting this information gap. Once the information gap disappears, all of these tactics will be meaningless.

To Zeus, Shimamura Yuna's playstyle in those two games was really stupid.

So stupid that he couldn't understand it, so stupid that he felt disgusted.

But Shimamura Yuna is truly an incredibly brilliant idiot, an almost invincible idiot.

All her stupid actions actually require the courage to act stupid even though she is not stupid.

It's a playstyle that uses expert skills to execute idiotic ideas in order to achieve miraculous results.

These strategies are not replicable and can be easily understood.

But she only needs to use it once, and that will be enough.

'She's really strong.'

At this moment, Zeus had completely acknowledged this opponent in his heart.

Although she seems to have many obvious problems.

Including what our own training team has already analyzed, such as this person having almost no hero pool, and this person's playstyle being quite toxic.

Although she hasn't achieved much yet.

However, Zeus has already recognized her and believes that for such a contestant, achieving success in the future is inevitable.

But at this moment, none of that matters.

Zeus was stunned, which led to the outcome of the game.

Perhaps inspired by Shimamura Yuna, the other teammates also performed exceptionally well in this match.

Although there were no large-scale team fights in the early stages, and no kills were achieved.

However, from switching lines to competing for resources, the CFO's side emphasized speed in every step.

One step ahead, one step ahead.

It's worth noting that CFO, as a team with a training and competition team that is even stronger than many LPL teams, actually has operational capabilities that are no worse than many Chinese and Korean teams.

The only thing they lack is individual skill; the problem is that the small player base leads to inconsistent player quality.

But in this match, the mid and bottom lanes held their own, and even had a slight advantage. Despite Zeus being completely crushed in the top lane, CFO's team was not at a disadvantage at all.

Compared to HLE or other truly strong Chinese and Korean teams, their biggest weakness lies in the individual stats of their players.

In other words, if HLE cannot dominate in terms of individual player stats, then they don't have any real advantage over CFO.

And this also means
This match is dangerous for HLE.
