Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 23, Section 22: Beating Up the Celebrity Dragon God
Despite spending a significant amount of time grinding her account to level 30, she still managed to reach the Diamond rank within a week.

Moreover, it boasts an extremely high win rate, a win rate that even ELO cannot stop.

According to Shimamura Yuna, the opponents she encountered on her way to ranking up were all those whose understanding of the game was vastly different from hers.

This gap is similar to the gap between her and those top professional players who can win championships.

Therefore, if ELO is not particularly violent, she is unlikely to lose.

Moreover, even if she reaches the Diamond rank now, she doesn't think it's a big deal.

At this stage, top professional players are all playing on the Korean server to pursue higher skill levels. The remaining players on the Chinese server are either skilled players who want to stream or skilled players like her who can't afford Korean server accounts.

Yuna Shimamura doesn't think the matches on the Chinese server have any quality or practice value.

In her view, the entire meaning of the Chinese server is to obtain a Grandmaster or Challenger title to prove one's strength and to use it as a gimmick for live streaming and making videos.

And so, after another day of consistent training, Shimamura Yuna reached Diamond II and then contentedly shut down her computer to rest, ending her perfect day.

However, what she didn't know was that, although at the Diamond rank in the Chinese server, there wouldn't be any professional players to challenge her.

However, there is one star player in the Chinese server who can only be arrested at the Diamond rank.

Unbeknownst to her, at that moment, this top-ranked player in the Chinese server was breathing on her through the screen.

The name of this "star" is Dragon God.

Many people may not recognize the name.
But when it comes to the memes he created, many people probably already know them.

He created a series of popular memes in the League of Legends community and even across the entire internet, such as "Nirvana Jungler," "How XX can he be?" and "He's a god."

What makes this streamer stand out is his undisguised stench of maggots and the ever-present evil of humanity.

Although he's generally a very lousy streamer, his entertaining and humorous style has successfully attracted many viewers.

Every day, viewers in the live stream engage in verbal sparring and insults, treating each other like idiots, which has become a regular part of the show.

At least in the League of Legends community, no one understands the concept of "black and red traffic" better than him.

When it comes to the meme of "Nirvana Jungle", we have to make a special mention of it.

This meme originated from Longshen's slander and attacks on WEI, a well-known LPL jungler.

At that time, the LPL had just started implementing the group stage, and teams were divided into the Peak Group and the Rebirth Group based on their performance.

To put it simply, the group with the best results is called the "Peak Group," and the group with the worst results is called the "Phoenix Group."

It's nothing special, just a competition format. "Rising from the ashes" is simply a more elegant way of saying the traditional Group A and Group B.

However, after WEI players transferred from RNG, which was originally in the Nirvana Group, back to BLG, which was in the Peak Group, this Dragon God may have seized some opportunity to gain traffic and suddenly started to go crazy and attack WEI players.

They kept bringing up his transfer from the Nirvana Group team to the Peak Group team, saying that he took advantage of BLG's spot. To emphasize this point, they kept mentioning the term "Nirvana Group jungler".

He has a large fan base, so many of his words have a significant impact on the League of Legends community.

A jungler from the Nirvana group kept repeating the word "Nirvana" every day, turning the originally neutral term into a derogatory one. Eventually, adding "Nirvana" before something became a derogatory term, turning it into a popular internet slang expression.

Incidentally, Shimamura Yuna's title of "Nirvana Group Top Laner" in her previous life also originated from this.

At the time, she delivered a carry-level performance in the Nirvana team by playing top lane with champions like Vladimir and Akali, leading many to say, 'Is she really that strong?'

But at this time, some people felt that "playing these heroes is just sucking the blood of her teammates, and her proficiency with regular heroes is not even worthy of a professional player."

When the two sides are deadlocked, one side will say something like "The top laner of Nirvana Group is in trouble" to end the conversation.

Because her playstyle is so controversial, she is one of the more discussed players among the leaders of weak teams.

Discussions about whether she is truly powerful or a liability are always ongoing.

The phrase "The top laner of Nirvana Group is in trouble" has become a common way to kill off topics.

Over time, she became a well-known top laner in the Nirvana group, though not very famous, but highly regarded by the public.

Yuna Shimamura herself knows this meme and that it originated from the Dragon God, but she doesn't know much about the Dragon God or the related internet meme culture.

She simply laughed off the title of "Top Laner of the Nirvana Group" with a self-deprecating smile, without paying much attention to or dwelling on it.

So, she had no idea that, at that very moment, while she was diligently climbing the ranks in the Chinese server, she had inadvertently killed the celebrity who coined the derogatory term "Nirvana."
The story begins with the celebrity's live stream that evening.

After the S-series ended, this celebrity, having no more matches to watch, temporarily entered a state of not knowing what to broadcast, so he played several games back and forth each day to kill time, like a triathlon.

League of Legends is generally his starting point for his triathlon.

Although Longshen was once a high-ranking player in the Chinese server and had some fame in the streaming community for his skillful top lane play.

But times have changed, and now the Dragon God is nothing more than a stinking dog that spends most of its time wandering between Diamond and low-rank Master in Ionia.

But according to him, this doesn't mean he can't beat them; it's "the level most suitable for live streaming."

At this skill level, he can talk and casually play games to kill people and create some entertainment value, which is very relaxing for him.

Whether he was just being stubborn or genuinely skilled but too lazy to climb the ranks is another matter. In any case, during a typical live stream, the Diamond 1 player Longshen was matched against the Diamond 2 player Shimamura Yuna.

Upon seeing that Shimamura Yuna's ID was "Oni-ou Yuna," Ryujin casually remarked, "Oni-ou?"

"Diamond II. Ghost King, hahahahaha."

"Come on, I want to see where you, you damned dog, really are."

Upon seeing Shimamura Yuna's ID and rank, he subconsciously assumed that this was another of his skilled colleagues from Bilibili, and his tone naturally carried a hint of contempt.

"It's okay, this time, my Ryze will teach him a lesson."

"My Ryze is a sure winner."
