Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

People's joys and sorrows are not shared.

The more joyful the LPL fans were at the venue, the more agonizing it was for the five North American players on stage.

The cheers of the crowd poured down from the stands, like scalding water poured onto ice, crackling and popping around the edges of their headphones. Even a layer of foam couldn't block out the overwhelming heat.

Let's go!

In the end, it was the eldest brother, whose resilience was at its peak, who spoke first, signaling everyone to return to the rest room.

Dyrus shook his head, as if trying to shake himself out of the memory of being bombarded by Jayce in the top lane.

Throughout the game, he was like a punching bag, constantly being pressured under the tower by Zhang Hai's Jayce, who snowballed after getting kills. His CS was almost half behind, and every time he left the tower, it meant another round of half-health disappearance.

He took a deep breath, straightened his back a little, and said with a "no matter how bad it is, we have to bear it" attitude: "No matter what, we still have another game to play."

"well!"

Scarra looked somewhat dazed, as if all her energy had been drained away. So much so that when she went down the steps, she tripped on her left foot, staggered forward half a step, flailed her arms wildly in the air, and almost fell headfirst.

Fortunately, Xpecial was standing nearby and quickly grabbed his arm, pulling him back steadily.

"Hey buddy, are you alright?" Xpecial glanced at the other person's expression.

Scarra opened her mouth as if to say something, but only a muffled breath escaped her throat. In the end, she didn't say anything and just waved her hand.

As Xpecial looked at that face, a thought popped into his mind:

"Oh no, this kid seems to have been brainwashed by Emperor."

But can mid-lane laning really cause such a big psychological trauma?

He didn't understand—even though he and his senior brother were the primary targets for Gragas' bowling skills during team fights, being dominated by that fat belly and the buckets falling from the sky, he felt that it was more due to equipment superiority. If you can't fight, you can't fight, and there's nothing you can do if you can't win. It shouldn't destroy a person's morale.

Saintvicious, walking at the back of the group, saw the confused look on Xpecial's face, paused for two seconds, and then reached out and patted his support's shoulder.

"You don't understand!"

He was the most miserable person in the whole game - he was invaded by the jungler at the beginning, his jungle was swapped, he was ganked by the mid and jungler, and he was chased by Lee Sin in his own jungle for half the map.

Logically speaking, the first thing to do upon returning to the lounge should be to drag the two guys from the upper and middle sections over for a full-blown brawl.

He questioned the two: "Can't you two put in a little more effort in your lane?"

My jungle was being roamed around like a backyard for twenty minutes, and you guys didn't even send a single support.

But after twenty minutes of fighting, he watched as Scarra was pushed from mid lane to the tower by Gragas, and then from the tower to the fountain.

Watching firsthand as Dyrus's crocodile was like a paper toy in front of Jayce's enhanced cannon;

I watched as Doublelift and Xpecial were ganked and destroyed in the bot lane, and then taken down in team fights by being used as bowling balls by the geometric barrels.

In the end, it was discovered that the entire team didn't even qualify to cosplay the slow-down zone, and the only kill was seemingly given away by Nami.

Saintvicious suddenly felt relieved.

Sometimes, when the gap in strength is so large that you can't even muster the thought of getting angry.

Nobody should blame anyone.

The top laner was crushed, the mid laner was completely dominated, the jungler was counter-ganked, and the bot lane was blown up—none of the five positions could gain an advantage in their matchups. Everyone fought, everyone lost, and no one had the time to help anyone else.

In this kind of situation, is blaming your teammates useful?

Or rather, he has no right to curse!

Instead of blaming each other, we should just walk back in silence, hold onto our anger until the next game, and then pray that the other side makes a mistake and gives us a chance.

Thinking this way.

The group walked along the corridor toward the lounge, no one spoke, and their footsteps echoed dully against the walls of the corridor.

The cheers of LPL fans in the stadium behind me hadn't completely subsided; they still came through several walls and were as clear as if they were right next to my ear.

……

Will LPL give us a chance?

the answer is negative.

Lin Shu never considered the concept of personal connections or favors.

After a short ten-minute break, he quickly completed the tactical preparations for the second game.

We've reached the BP (Problem-Based) stage.

North American NA, now on the purple side, abandoned their mindless targeting of the mid lane.

When you find that using all three bans on the mid lane still has no effect, the best option is naturally to give the bans to other lanes.

In the second game, Zhang Hai's outstanding performance with Jess made him the first to be sent to the black room.

The next target for the blockade was Mingkai's Lee Sin, who had a strong early game tempo.

Mingkai's Lee Sin skills aren't the most flashy, but his offensive and counter-ganking rhythm is absolutely perfect.

As for the third position, the eldest brother overruled everyone's objections and ultimately reserved a ban spot for Uncle Gragas.

There was no way around it. In the last game, his Ezreal, who was doing fairly well, was completely overwhelmed by the bombs. Both players had the same Q skill, but the one the little blond guy used was a water gun. Not only was the range of the water gun longer, but the damage output was also much higher. In team fights, one QR hit in the face would send him back to the fountain. He really didn't want to experience that again.

The comments section was incredibly fun:

[Hahaha, Gragas got banned!]

[Senior Brother: I don't care, we can lose the match, but this fat guy must die.]

The image of Gragas instantly killing Ezreal with a QR combo in the last game is still fresh in my mind!

[North America: We can't beat your skills, but we can ban your champions.]

[League of Legends designers, why can't League of Legends provide more bans? Five? They shouldn't be unusable in the next game after being selected once.]

I'd much rather they just ban E-God. (laughs)

Compared to the painful drafting process for NA, the LPL side had a much simpler time.

The three bans were used on Evelynn, Thresh, and Vayne, respectively.

The selection process.

The blue team picked Spider on the first floor, while the purple team had no choice but to pick Crocodile and Vi.

Although the crocodile and Vi combo is slightly weaker in early tower diving ability compared to the Desert Spider combo, they are still definitely a strong top-jungle duo.

Seeing that the other party had chosen Wei, Lin Shu did not hesitate to snatch the fox.

In Season 3, the combination of Ahri and Vi's extremely long-range initiation and lock-on kills was so terrifying that only players who experienced it in the past truly knew how terrifying it was.

He himself wasn't afraid, but the problem was that his teammates couldn't handle it.

In conclusion, the safest course of action is to seize it directly.

"Wow, Emperor isn't giving us a chance! Just like the philosophy he conveyed in his tutorial videos, when facing a strong opponent, we should go all out."

When it came to choosing a hero, Wawa started his awkward hype.

"Yes, Ahri and Vi are the mid-jungle lock-in duo that has recently become a hit across the entire league, starting from the Challenger tier. Emperor didn't try any other tricks to break it, but instead addressed the problem at its source."

[It's a pity that Gragas was banned, otherwise we would have seen a tutorial game with hero swapping.]

[It's okay, it's okay. E picked Ahri this game, so he can teach the North American guys how to play Charm!]

[Let's open the betting! I bet 50 cents that NA won't waste too much of LPL's time in this game.]

【I won't follow!】
