Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 62, Section 60: Drawing the Doran's Top

Although Shimamura Yuna started playing ranked games on the Korean server too late, almost at the end of Season 14, the players on the leaderboard had such high scores that it was practically impossible for her to catch up.

However, her score is actually not low. She can reach several hundred points after playing for about ten days. Most professional players either don't play ranked games much, so they also have this score.

Either their main account has such a high score that the queue is too slow, so they create a smurf account with a few hundred points to maintain their training feel.

This means that as her score rises, Shimamura Yuna will start to play against more and more professional players.

Every day, the headlines about her increasingly feature heated discussions such as "going head-to-head with a certain professional player".

The first particularly famous professional player she was matched with during her climb was DORAN from T1.

At this moment, DORAN can be said to be one of the most focused and core players in the world.

After being ridiculed by BLG's Bin last year and becoming a well-known idiot, he is now being adored by T1 fans due to the "Zeus player betraying T1" incident.

Is Doran a good dish?

Those who watched last year's competition thought he was very bad.

But can we say he's bad now?
At least T1 fans don't want to say he's bad. T1 fans really want to prove that our T1 will still spin even without you, Zeus, and that our T1 will still be awesome even if DORAN is the top laner.

Although we may know in our hearts that Zeus's departure will not have a significant impact on us, and we also know that Doran may be quite weak.

But at this point, all they can do is hold onto their hopes for Dolan, hoping that he can change his previous poor performance this year and become even better.

After all, Zeus's departure was a foregone conclusion. What else could they do but bless their own people at this point?
However, sometimes, fantasy is just fantasy.

The only difference lies in when the illusion is shattered.

During this period, many T1 fans have been paying attention to DORAN's ranked performance, and many content creators who specialize in watching the ranked games of these few T1 players have also been paying close attention to DORAN.

They are eagerly anticipating seeing DORAN perform well in ranked games and convince them that Zeus's departure has had little impact.

However.
No one expected that Doran, who wasn't expected to be highly regarded, would be killed by a woman in ranked games.

This was just a regular ranked game that Shimamura Yuna played after her broadcast started that day.

On that day, Shimamura Yuna's score had just reached 400 points, which was a score that could barely be ranked among professional players, but not too high either.

At that time, many viewers were already looking forward to "When will Sister Yuna be able to rank up to Brother BIN?" and "When will Sister Yuna be able to rank up to 69?"

For these viewers, seeing their favorite streamers queue up and play against professional players on the Korean server is a great entertainment opportunity in itself.

However, to everyone's surprise, BIN and 69 didn't come, but DORAN did.

In fact, during this game, because Shimamura Yuna was in streamer mode and couldn't see her own ID, she had no idea that she had been matched with the enemy Doran.

Some viewers in the live stream only realized who the other person was when they came from OBdoran's perspective.

Holy crap, we're matched with Doran!

Can Yuna's Jayce defeat Doran's Gnar?

[Yuna, your Renekton is just as trash as Bin's, so can you play Doran's Blade as hard as Bin's?]

I think it's suspenseful.

Although everyone was joking that Shimamura Yuna should try spinning a Doran's top.

But before the match started, most viewers thought that Dolan, as a professional player, would naturally be a bit better than Shimamura Yuna.

After all, even if Dolan is spinning, it's still Bin's spinning top.

What are you anyway, a streamer who just reached Master rank on the Korean server not long ago?

What they didn't know was that Dolan might know better how to play a game than Shimamura Yuna.

However, for Shimamura Yuna, who can reach the top of the Korean server rankings even in the top lane, a position that theoretically has little impact on the outcome of the game, DORAN is not as authoritative as her in ranked matches.

It's possible that Dolan was just out of form in this game, or perhaps he was practicing in ranked and wasn't very focused.

Or rather, Gnar was inherently somewhat countered by Jayce. Not long after they went online, his Gnar was immediately pulled back by Shimamura Yuna's Jayce, landing two or three free auto-attacks and even managing to land a Q from Doran's Blade.

This wave alone has made it difficult for Doran to gain experience in his first two levels.

Having finally reached level three, Doran was about to be able to use his healing ability.

As a result, Shimamura Yuna pulled back and moved, then landed a full combo of enhanced cannon fire, causing Gnar to suffer a huge loss in the trade.

When the jungler came later, they immediately cooperated with Shimamura Yuna to tower dive and kill Gnar.

Looking at this wave, the most striking feature is its naturalness.
I can't really say what's so special about it, but it just happened naturally that Gnar made the lane almost unplayable for me.

It just naturally got stretched and a bit burst.

Later, after Doran was released, it became purely about spinning tops.

Basically, once you log in, you're constantly getting attacked. After getting attacked, you either have to go back to town or die.

It even surprised the audience.

【Wait, is Dolan really that bad?】

[BIN can spin a top all he wants, but Yuna can spin your top too?]

【Wait, is it really okay for T1 to replace Doran this year?】

Holy crap, Yuna is really that amazing!

[Isn't that normal? Sister Yuna, your master BIN, what's wrong with spinning a Doran top?]

Shimamura Yuna herself didn't think there was anything special about this ranked match.

When she was ranked number one on the Korean server in her previous life, she encountered not only Doran, but also players of Zeus and Bin's caliber quite often.

She often crushed these people in ranked matches, but of course, she also got crushed sometimes.

But this doesn't mean that you can beat these people in a match or have a fair fight with them.

The difference between these people's focus during ranking and their focus during the game is the same thing.

The gameplay of competitive matches and ranked matches is different, which is another matter.

But just because she thinks it's commonplace and ordinary doesn't mean that the comments section thinks it's commonplace.

As she was matched with DORAN and dominated, the chat went wild with excitement.

Holy crap, Yuna is awesome! She can totally crush Doran!

Is Yuna really going to go pro?

[Damn, haters, who said Yuna only bullies noobs? Her Jayce easily bullies Doran too, doesn't he?]

I don't know if Doran is too bad or Yuna is too strong; this looks like a pure spinning top attack.

[It's true that Yuna is strong, but whether Doran is really bad is unknown.]

I feel like T1 is in a bit of a precarious position this year.

[It's true, this thing can be whipped into this state by a random female streamer; it's not even comparable to a Zeus spinning top.]

P.S.: I mentioned in the last chapter that it might be published on Sanjiang next week, but I've deleted the P.S. now.

I checked, and the editor told me I'd be registered next week; I made a mistake.

In other words, it will be at least the week after next, when the fourth round is over, before we can see if we can get onto the Sanjiang River.

Regardless, the release date should remain the same.
