LOL: Do I have to be a spinning top too?

The contestants turned and walked off the stage, and the camera cut back to the commentary booth.

The excitement on Guan Zeyuan's face hadn't completely faded, and his voice was filled with emotion:

"Wow! This match was completely unexpected!"

"I was a little skeptical when TES pulled out the Ashe and Soraka combination..."

"But the fifth-floor counter pick went to Glory, who chose Darius, a champion he'd never played in a competitive match before!"

"With his flawless execution, he single-handedly tore a hole in TT's top lane!"

"Finally, he even secured the first Darius pentakill in the Demacia Cup finals!"

"This match was truly exciting!"

Rita chimed in, her tone filled with amazement:

"That's right. Before the tournament started, everyone thought TES was just here to practice, but now it seems they're here to win the championship!"

"We all know that professional players' performance can vary drastically depending on their form, but today all five members of TES are in ridiculously good form."

"Whether it's Xiao Fang being willing to sacrifice jungle experience to help Glory ambush.

"Jiaqi's Magic Crystal Arrow was the perfect initiation, and Haoyang's Galio provided quick support."

"Mark's skill usage and vision control made Glory's gameplay very comfortable."

"This team is so complete at this moment."

She paused, then continued:

"And I don't know if the viewers have noticed..."

"Glory has a very valuable quality: he can really give timely feedback to his teammates."

"Never make mistakes when you have an economic advantage, and be extremely decisive when it's time to give up resources to support your teammates."

"There was a small skirmish in the middle of the game, where Haoyang and Xiaofang were caught in a four-man ambush by TT."

"Glory didn't covet the massive gold from the top lane's second turret. He instantly switched perspectives, decisively teleported to support, and made a last-minute counter-attack, helping his team achieve a comeback victory!"

"They completely disrupted TT's counterattack rhythm and utterly crushed them."

"This kind of ability to carry, play consistently, sacrifice, and demonstrate teamwork—these on-the-spot judgments and game awareness are extremely rare, even among 18-year-old rookie top laners!"

Rita's detailed and comprehensive post-match analysis instantly ignited the official live stream chat, with the screen filled with rapidly scrolling comments and the popularity soaring!

Holy crap! How come Sister Ta is so professional today?!

[Normally you just agree with Brother Guan with "uh-huh" and "yeah," so why are you explaining things so carefully when it comes to Glory?]

[Isn't that obvious? You're facing a guy who just got a pentakill today, how can you not give a serious commentary?]

To be fair, I think she's right! Glory does possess certain qualities that top laners with bad tempers and poor performance don't have!

  

[By the way, Sister Ta is still single, could she be...?]

Get lost! Feng Yu is mine! Glory is only eighteen!

[Look at you, showing off your repressed feelings again, aren't you?]

You guys are so boring, you're too scared to even start a lively discussion! Let me do it!

[Let me say this... Xiaohu's Glory era surpasses his top lane days! From now on, he's Big Tiger!]

The moment those words were spoken, the live chat exploded with comments.

[Big Tiger? You're a fucking genius!]

[Big Tiger! This name is perfect!]

[Big Tiger, go for it! Win the Demacia Cup!]

[Ladies! Does anyone else think Glory is incredibly handsome?! I even screenshotted his profile during that post-match interview and used it as my wallpaper!]

[Sister upstairs, I agree! I only thought he was good at fighting before, but after seeing him in person, I'm completely smitten! He's handsome and a great fighter, who can resist?]

[Big Tiger's fans, gather! I've already changed my pinned Weibo post to his official photo!]

[Don't let your fangirling frenzy get into this hair salon! This is esports, not Idol Producer!]

[Girls, ignore him. That's just how Jingnan is. He gets all defensive when he sees us admiring handsome guys, and he even misspells words.]

In just a few dozen seconds, the brand new ID Bighu went viral, spreading from the official live stream to various secondary commentary live streams!

Meanwhile, in JackeyLove's live stream...

The live stream was simultaneously playing the results of TES's decisive victory in the first game, and the number of viewers in the live stream had already exceeded five million.

Yu Wenbo leaned back in his gaming chair, the live stream of the tournament still playing on the screen, a smile on his lips, seemingly in a good mood.

Ning Wang's voice came through the live chat channel, his tone tinged with teasing:

"Jack, looks like you're in for a treat next season!"

"You went live today specifically to show off your new top lane teammate, didn't you?"

"That's really going too far!"

Yu Wenbo smiled, his tone natural:

"No, no! As the captain of TES, I only decided to watch because the club made it to the finals and I happened to have nothing else to do."

"Although the Demacia Cup is not a top-tier tournament like the LPL league, World Championship, or MSI, it is still highly valuable and provides significant training opportunities for new players."

"Moreover, the total prize money for this Demacia Cup is 1.2 million, and winning this championship is a very important recognition for these young kids."

The chat was flooded with messages from Ah Shui's "mommy fans" who were excited that their favorite professional player was about to get a reliable top lane teammate.

[Jack, your smirk is practically pointing to the sky, yet you're pretending to be calm!]

[Bingbing: I'm coming clean, buddy, next season I finally won't have to carry a spinning top in the top lane anymore!]

Wayward: Are you being polite?

[Dahuang has already gone to RA, wish him all the best for his future! We're not close at all! I'm afraid Glory might misunderstand.]

[My brother finally got a good top laner! Waaaaah, do you know how long I've waited from Season 10 to Season 12?]

[I'm already fantasizing about S13! Let's have Bingbing carry Bighu to victory!]

Even though Li Hu had not yet officially become Yu Wenbo's teammate.

However, some of Jack's fans have completely accepted this rookie top laner as one of their own.

Many people opened Weibo and followed TigerQAQ.

Yu Wenbo glanced at the comments and continued:

"As for how strong Glory is, you can ask Shy."

"I heard they played about ten solo matches last night."

TheShy, whose name was mentioned, was in the voice chat. Upon hearing this, he spoke in his signature Korean-accented Mandarin, albeit haltingly:

"Oh? Glory, how should I put it..."

"His style gives me the feeling of... a sophisticated machine."

"He has a very deep grasp of many basic laning techniques, such as trading blows, lane control, mechanics, reaction time, and hero understanding, as if he would never forget them."

"It's just...very skillful, and they rarely make silly mistakes."

"Your attitude is fantastic, really impressive!"

He thought for a moment, then added:

"However, the only drawback is that he lacks experience in competitions, and some of his playing styles are a bit rigid, but given time, he will definitely become a top player."

Upon hearing this assessment, Prince Ning's voice instantly rose in pitch:

"Holy crap! TheShy, you actually give him this kind of evaluation?"

"Then this kid is invincible!"

"If he played one season in the LPL, I feel like he could quickly reach the level of Bin or 369!"

"And his champion pool seems even deeper than those two, who could possibly play with him?"

When he said this, Prince Ning's tone carried an undisguised envy.

He is well aware of the value of a top-tier top laner.

After his comeback, he played for several teams, but he could not join any of the strong teams and could only serve as the team's captain in weaker teams.

In weaker teams, he never again encountered a perfect top laner who could dominate the lane, take over team fights, maintain a stable mentality, and understand team coordination.

The glory days of IG's trident are long gone, and seeing Li Hu emerge out of nowhere now, it's hard not to feel a sense of nostalgia.

[Ning Wang is jealous, hahaha!]

[Ning: I want a top laner like that too!]

[To be honest, if Ning were on Glory's team, they couldn't recreate the classic moments... a top-jungle duo, one dies and the other feeds!]

[Sigh, the current top laner is Hery, and compared to Glory, he definitely falls a bit short.]

Ning's top laner back in the day was TheShy, things have changed so much now.

[Tears welling up, the IG of S8, they'll never be the same again.]

Just then, the match data panel lit up on the screen. The MVP selection interface slowly appeared...

Glory's official portrait takes up most of the screen, next to Darius's splash art; this Noxian powerhouse looks exceptionally arrogant.

KDA: 14/0/6

Team damage percentage: 41.8%

Group tour participation rate: 73.5%

Counter-economic difference: +9886

MVP count: 6

"Six-time MVP!"

Yu Wenbo couldn't help but clap twice:

"This kid is really fierce."

Prince Ning's voice was filled with sighs:

"I played seven matches in the Demacia Cup, won MVP six times, and had a 100% win rate..."

"These statistics are unprecedented for a newcomer, aren't they?"
