Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 19, Section 18: BLG, they really can't win.
Shimamura Yuna was completely unaware of Su Qing's inner thoughts; her attention was solely focused on the upcoming match.

Before the match started, she and Su Qing played two rounds of ARAM (All Random All Mid) mode together. ARAM mode has relatively shallow content depth, with no laning or strategy, just pure, fun combat.

However, it was precisely this simple pattern that allowed her and Su Qing to gain a deeper understanding of each other.

Even just looking at the gameplay, you can see a huge gap.

Yuna Shimamura: 'This guy is definitely a noob.'

Su Qing: 'This Japanese girl is indeed a master.'

In a sense, it was a two-way journey, with each person developing a correct understanding of the other.

The chaotic free-for-all between the two didn't officially end until the match started.

The large screen that had been prepared in advance in the internet cafe's rest area lit up on time and began playing the competition content.

Many of the people who were playing the game stood up at this moment.

As BLG fans or LPL supporters, everyone's hearts are in their throats right now.

It is undeniable that the popularity of LOL esports is largely based on a very unhealthy concept of "winning".

South Koreans are hoping to win, and so are the Chinese.
Regions that cannot win at all will gradually lose interest in and stop paying attention to the game's tournaments; a typical example of this is North America.

But now, the LPL is actually facing a similar situation.

After two consecutive years of setbacks in S12 and S13, audience expectations have plummeted.

They started to wonder if LPL really couldn't beat LCK.

Is it true that Chinese players are no match for Korean players in the game League of Legends?

Games are just games, after all. If you can't feel the joy of victory from the competition, you can simply choose not to pay attention.

'At least we still have the east wind.'

For viewers, there are many ways to gain positive emotional value, so there's no need to obsess over LPL.

But this is not the case for those working in the LPL.

The audience no longer pays attention to the stage, but the stage is still there, and the people on the stage are still there.

Therefore, they desperately need BLG to win this match.

It gives confidence to the audience and also to the investors.

In terms of results
In the first game of the BO5 series, BLG performed exceptionally well, securing a victory against T1.

"Holy crap, BIN is awesome."

"Holy crap, that left hand is awesome!"

"Are we really going to win the championship this year?"

The audience in the internet cafe cheered wildly after winning the first game, and the champagne bottles kept popping open during the halfway point.

Just like in my past life, BLG actually had some advantages at the beginning.

She even profited from all the first-timer and first-timer content she bought through a wide-ranging strategy.

However, this result did not make Shimamura Yuna happy.

Despite their own victory and BLG's win, this actually means that history will not change.

BLG will still lose.

LPL will eventually face its inevitable demise.

Thinking about all this, the sadness she felt as an LPL fan even outweighed the joy of winning the money.

That somber expression was clearly visible on her face.

To Su Qing, who was standing beside her, all of this seemed like her tadpole showing its tail.

After all, how could a normal BLG fan not be happy when BLG wins a game?

So, Su Qing, with a victor's mentality, wanted to show off her superiority to Shimamura Yuna.

She said, "So, you really do support T1, right?"

Shimamura Yuna looked up, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Su Qing said, "Because you don't seem very happy right now." Hearing this, she opened her mouth slightly and paused for a moment.

Then, he burst out laughing.

No, that one.

"I am not a supporter of T1. I should say that I should support BLG more."

"But after watching this match, I was certain that BLG couldn't win, which is why I made that expression."

She was telling the truth.

However, without knowing her identity as a time traveler, no one could understand her so-called truth.

Instead, they would see her statement as a provocation.

That's right, Su Qing is very unhappy right now.

BLG just won a game, so what do you mean by "BLG definitely can't win"?
Even the most capable person couldn't make such a judgment, right?
She felt unhappy and resentful.

So, she coldly replied, "Then we'll see."

Realizing that her remarks had been misunderstood, Shimamura Yuna wanted to explain something.

But after thinking about it, I felt it wasn't necessary.

Because the results of the competition will prove everything.

The match then resumed.

Soon, as time went by, the score reached 2-1.

The LPL supporters in the internet cafe also became very excited at this time. Some people were half-jokingly saying things like "Let's lift the trophy, BLG!" and some even opened a bottle of champagne halfway through the game, which made the whole room burst into laughter.

This result relieved Su Qing, who had been anxiously waiting.

She knew that if they won just one more game, BLG would win the championship, a championship that was extremely important to both LPL viewers and the league itself.

Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at the girl sitting next to her playing games, wanting to see how this girl, who had just confidently said "BLG can't win," would react now.

To be honest, she was kind of looking forward to the girl making an expression like, "How is this possible? My professional judgment can't be wrong," which would make her, as an LPL supporter, feel really good.

Sure enough, when she turned around, she found that the guy's expression was still the same as before, a sour face.

This made her feel great.

'Oh, you lazy tadpole, are you getting impatient?'

With a victor's mentality, Su Qing took the initiative to ask Shimamura Yuna, "How do you feel? BLG is 2:1 now."

The girl sighed and nodded: "Mm."

Su Qing asked, "So, do you still think BLG is bound to lose?"

Shimamura Yuna hesitated for a moment.

Then he said, "Although you don't believe me, I'm actually really sad because BLG couldn't win."

"And the current developments have made me even more convinced of this."

Su Qing couldn't help but complain, "It's already 2-1, why do you still firmly believe that BLG will lose?"

Shimamura Yuna paused for a moment.

"I don't want to argue with you about this."

"But please continue reading."

This answer seems rather strange.

Is it because he was embarrassed that he didn't want to continue the conversation?

Even though his prediction was wrong, he still acted so arrogantly and said things that made Su Qing feel a little uncomfortable.

However, she quickly thought, 'Oh well, this girl is just a little girl,' so she didn't give the girl a hard time and chose to leave her an out.

In any case, the girl didn't seem to have any ill intentions; at most, she just seemed a bit arrogant.
