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

All-Stars are secondary.

In the near term, the second step of the e-commerce plan is to leverage the influence of League of Legends to attract overseas merchants.

Learn from Mr. Huang's approach and act as a middleman, reselling high-quality domestic peripherals or accessories to other countries, or conversely, bringing in foreign resources to further accumulate initial capital for your group-buying users.

A large number of overseas fans were key to making this happen.

Looking at the bigger picture, if I want to rise quickly in the LPL circle, my current influence is far from enough.

To put it bluntly, Lin Shu was just an ordinary person with no background or connections. If he wanted to compete with those established clubs in this circle, there was only one way—to make himself have enough "united front value".

What is the value of united front work?

It means you are so strong that others cannot ignore you, and so popular that others must try to win you over.

When your fan base grows large enough to influence voting, drive business, and take sides at crucial moments, people with connections and influence will naturally come to you.

Lin Shu's original plan was to take it one step at a time: first, gradually climb up to the LPL to solidify his popularity among League of Legends players in China; then, find an opportunity to crush WE a couple more times in the regular season and snatch Ruofeng's All-Star spot; then, go to Shanghai to participate in the League of Legends All-Star event and make a name for himself on that international stage.

Then, they relied on labels like "Godfather of Esports" and "Leader in Hero Tutorials" to strengthen their competitive advantage layer by layer. When they won the S3 championship, they used the biggest trophy as the strongest stepping stone to prepare enough resources and ammunition for the crazy battles that were about to begin in 2014.

Now, things have taken a turn for the better; God has simply provided him with a breakthrough, and it's come at just the right time.

With this surge of attention from overseas websites, he can easily build up a considerable following among casual fans from other regions before the All-Star Game in Shanghai. Then, during the All-Star Game itself, he simply needs to deliver the performance that his European and American fans have been eagerly anticipating, or even exceed their expectations—

At that time, the instantaneous surge in traffic will reach a terrifying level that even he himself cannot estimate.

That was the beginning he truly wanted.

Therefore, not only can we not be slow, we must be as fast as possible!

……

"There are also viewers watching the live stream on foreign websites..."

Lin Shu stood by the window, watching the team members walk back from a distance. A brand new idea popped into his mind and grew wildly like weeds.

Ten minutes later.

The second round of Group A matches has officially begun with the draft phase.

Both sides traded blows, banning several strong heroes from the previous version, and finally locked in their lineups.

HWG vs L丶H!

Blue team L_H: Top lane Rumble, Jungle Jarvan IV, Mid lane Ryze, Bot lane Caitlyn and Lulu.

HWG (Purple Side): Top lane Riven, Jungle Hecarim, Mid lane Zed, Bot lane Varus and Zyra!

As soon as the lineup was announced, the commentators Wawa and Joker in the commentary booth reacted as if someone had stepped on their tails, raising their voices by an octave.

"ah!!"

"Aaaaaah!!"

"Zed?! I'm not seeing things, am I? Emperor confidently picked Zed in the crucial game that secured his team's advancement!"

The doll shouted as she turned to look at the Joker, her face full of incomprehension.

Judging from Zed's performance in the previous few games, it feels like a real meta trap.

Joker chimed in, "And Tale locked in Riven for top lane, so the purple team's lineup... feels a bit too physical."

[Wait, what are those two commentators trying to say? What do they mean by "in a crucial match for the team's advancement"? Are they implying that there's something wrong with my E-God picking Zed? What are you talking about, being sarcastic?!]

[A kitchen knife? Kitchen knife my ass! Want to check what champions the bot lane duo are? Varus and Zyra, two champions who deal magic damage, what did you eat? Are Zyra's plants just for show? Is Varus's W just air?]

[You guys actually listen to the LPL's prepared commentators? These people have terrible game understanding. This game is purely melee-focused, okay? The blue side doesn't have any real tanks—Rumble, Jarvan IV, Ryze, Caitlyn, Lulu, every single one of them, who can stand against Zed and Riven for three seconds?]

[The main issue is that Zed doesn't seem that strong... His ultimate can be easily countered with a Quicksilver Sash, and the team composition on the left is incredibly solid in team fights, with Ryze and Caitlyn as dual cores, and Rumble and Jarvan IV's ultimates working together in team fights. How could they possibly lose?]

[Like I said, E is sitting on the field, just trust him! You guys are analyzing the lineup, he's showing off his skills, it's a completely different perspective.]

Don't try to understand the top player's thinking with your low Platinum/Diamond skill level. Even a niche mage like Syndra was instantly killed by E-God's plays against a full-health Renekton, let alone this new champion? Zed has only been out for a short time; you guys haven't even figured out his mechanics yet.

[(Laughing and crying) You guys know what, HWG's match just ended a little while ago, and the ranked games are full of people wanting to play Syndra mid. Every game someone instantly picks her, and then they just feed... Can E-God please do something about these bandwagoners?!]

The comments section was churning like a boiling pot, and the two teams on stage were given their final adjustment time.

L and H teams.

"Do they look down on us that much?"

Top laner YY said indignantly, "I can accept the physical damage-heavy team, but they're even playing a ridiculous champion like Zed, who's basically a child."

"Team battles are also quite abstract."

The jungler shrugged, clearly much more relaxed after the draft phase, a stark contrast to his tense demeanor when he went on stage. "Varus and Zyra are two short-legged creatures. My Jarvan IV can use his ultimate to trap them, and then Rumble can follow up with his ultimate. The enemy backline will be crippled. I don't know how they're going to fight us."

"Don't be too optimistic. After all, it's Emperor who controls Zed. He's the one who earned the reputation of being the 'Kid Zed' in the mid lane."

Ai Shejiayi said in a muffled voice that not many of her teammates were as optimistic.

In other words, in a match, no high-elo AD carry could remain calm when they saw Emperor, the ID representing the king of assassins, on the opposing team.

There's no way around it; when an AD carry encounters an assassin in a team fight, it's like a son meeting his own father.

Emperor, in particular, is a monster who can completely dominate his lane opponent. He comes at you with equipment that will make your scalp tingle, and in nine out of ten team fights, he won't survive past the fifth second. In the other one, he's killed before the team fight even starts.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's the only strict father figure among AD carry players in the Chinese server.

"Hey you guys, what were you saying when you first came on stage?"

Support player LSJ rolled his eyes and poured cold water on the two junglers, saying, "'Not being shut out is a success, and dragging it out for 20 minutes is an even game,' how come you've suddenly become so arrogant? It's one thing for the opponent to give us opportunities, but whether we can seize those opportunities is another matter."

"They are them, don't drag me into this." Mid laner HHY smacked his lips. "All I can say for this game is—Rotten Rod and Zhonya's Hourglass, let's go. I'll try my best not to feed you an ultimate boss."

"Hey Lao Huang, you have to believe in yourself!" The jungler patted him on the shoulder with a grin. "Solo kill on Emperor, instant fame, today is your day!"

"Thank you so much."

HHY replied expressionlessly, "Instead of wasting your time praising me, you should be thinking about how you're going to help me in the game. I don't want the enemy jungler and mid laner diving my tower while you're still wandering around in the jungle."

"..."

the other side.

With the European and American audience in mind, Lin Shu thoughtfully selected the Shadow Master and changed his tactics again, giving his teammates just one sentence.

"Go all out, HWG's mission is to finish get off work at lightning speed."

"OK!"

"Absolutely!"

"Haha, the enemy team has a classic teamfight-oriented lineup. Let's work hard during the laning phase and end the game for them."
