You actually want me to...

It's not that I've never seen a coach this excited, but to be this excited during a game, dude, are you some kind of workaholic?

As if she had thought of something, White Crescent suddenly turned around and stared intently at Roland, which made Roland very uncomfortable.

"Brother, let's talk this out. I don't remember doing anything wrong, right? I've practiced what you asked me to practice, I've learned what you asked me to learn, and I even found the GIF links you asked me to find. You can't just discard me like this after you've served your purpose."

“Not this.” White Crescent shook her head and continued, “Today, I’m giving you the freedom to fire whatever you want. I only have one request: win the match.”

"Huh? That's it? I'll definitely try my best. You know, my style of play is always team-oriented, but winning or losing... it's a bit of a matter of luck."

"I know what you mean, you little brat. If you win today, I'll give you the MVP bonus right away. If you win spectacularly, the bonus will be doubled."

Roland: !!!

"Ahem~ Don't worry, last night I was observing A...ATM, and I discovered that destiny is on my side. I'll be right back."

The remaining four members of TES: ......

This match featured commentators Cat Emperor, Rita, and PYL, a lineup that combined a standout commentator, a pretty face, and a retired player. Others might not know, but Cat Emperor and PYL certainly seemed to be having a great time.

The reason is simple: because of Roland.

I won't say much about Cat Emperor. Roland debuted by riding on his popularity. Now they are in the same boat, and if one of them suffers, the other will watch him suffer. For now, they are on the same side. PYL is similar. Because Roland's playstyle gradually became "death god-like" in the later stages, PYL has inexplicably gained a so-called "spiritual successor" besides his main team, LGD.

Regardless of whether it's good or bad, let's just ride the wave of popularity first.

At least for now, Roland hasn't embarrassed them in major competitions, nor has it had any major setbacks, so it's worth their investment.

"Hey, Ping, what do you think of this match? Which team do you support?" Cat Emperor asked as soon as the live broadcast of the match started.

"Of course I support TES, after all, he's the successor of the Grim Reaper, isn't he?" As he spoke, PYL chuckled and made a gesture. Since he didn't have any old teammates left on his old team, it was more practical to ride on his apprentice's popularity.

"Hey, what a coincidence, I also support TES, isn't this my home team? And what about Rita?"

"Of course I support LGD." Rita straightened her posture and replied to Cat Emperor with a smile, but in her heart she was cursing him to death.

That's how the competition and intrigue among commentators unfold.

Both of them rely on TES for viewership, so naturally they can't side with LGD. But the commentators can't completely favor one side either. What can they do? They can only let her step into this pit.

Of course, LDG does indeed fit her aesthetic in terms of visual appeal. You know, LDG in S10 was known as the "handsome men's team," and there were even rumors about the team's female owner being XXXX. You can only figure it out yourself; it's just a matter of taking sides.

Looking good is one thing, but to actually get on Rita's gaming chair, you really need to have some assets.

As they chatted, the competition soon began.

First round of bans:

LGD: Syndra, Swain, Lee Sin

TES: Varus, Ornn, Yuumi

Clearly, Roland's livestream was effective. Before figuring out how to deal with Raven's global vision in the new version, banning him was undoubtedly the safest option.

As for the other banned heroes, it's because those that were released generally resulted in losses.

One round of PICK:

LGD: Aphelios, Thresh, Trundle

TES: Ezreal, Karma, Graves

Facing the strong TES, LGD still followed their usual strategy, giving their AD carry Aphelios as a late-game carry. However, what was strange was that even though they picked Aphelios, the opponent didn't pick Thresh instead, which made the LGD players a little nervous.

Based on past TES matches, when TES decides not to pick a support in their first three picks, the opposing support will most likely start using unconventional strategies.

What is it?

Is it Xerath, whose pick rate is increasing in ranked games now? Or Vel'Koz, whose pick rate is gradually rising in the Korean server? We don't know yet.

Second round of bans: Zoe, Twisted Fate, Galio, and Jayce were all eliminated.

For their fourth pick, TES immediately locked in Monkey.

If the enemy team has a Trundle, Renekton can't withstand the damage. Rather than picking Renekton and getting instantly killed in team fights, it's better to pick Wukong, who can go invisible and unleash his ultimate to maximize crowd control.

LGD didn't argue with you, and ended up with two Orianna and Renekton.

They've already planned it out. When the team fight comes, the Trundle will use his ultimate to push forward, and together with the Renekton, the two big carries will push into the fray. The opposing lineup doesn't have any counter-attack capabilities and simply can't withstand it. Just charge in and you're done!

"Tsk tsk tsk, he really is a strong attacker. If he picks Jayce, we'll have a tough time choosing."

"It's alright. I'm actually more curious about how you convinced the coach to let you pick this thing." Don't let the TES players' quiet demeanor fool you; they're secretly incredibly envious. One after another, they pull out all sorts of cutting-edge technology, and White Crescent even agreed to it—is this the coach's favorite?

"It's alright, actually. The last pick is just to make up for the shortcomings of the lineup, it's just that there are a few more choices for the support role." As he spoke, Roland also clicked on the hero he wanted, and then instantly selected and locked it in front of everyone.

If we switched roles, I'd show you what true cruelty is!

The evil little mage—Vega—has been successfully locked on.

So far

LGD: Top lane Renekton, Jungle Trundle, Mid lane Orianna, Bot lane Aphelios + Thresh

TES: Top lane Wukong, Jungle Graves, Mid lane Karma, Bot lane Ezreal + Veigar

When TES made their final pick, all the viewers in the live stream widened their eyes instantly, and some even rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

Ohhhhh!

[This is the Emperor's triumphant return! Rejoice! He is the king of pranks, surpassing all others, transcending time and space, knowing the past and future. Now he transforms into the Prank Knight, Emperor II. A new history has begun.]

[I knew it, this guy has never let me down in matches.]

[A player in the ARAM game boldly speculates that this thing might even be a tanky mage build specifically designed to annoy opponents with its aftershocks.]

After ten years of gaming, most players can now see through your strategies at a glance.

But that's precisely why they were even more excited.

Only those who have been disgusted by something will want others to be disgusted by it as well, and this will eventually lead to the desire for professional players to be disgusted by it as well.

Because of this.

Self = Others being disgusted = Professional players being disgusted

Therefore, we can conclude that: oneself = professional player.

So almost the moment Roland pulled out his cutting-edge technology, the vast majority of viewers sided with Roland without a second thought, holding up signs that read "righteousness."

Keep it up, you prankster!

If you win, they can confidently boast to others: "I was evenly matched with professional players!!!"

Integration: Chapter Twenty-Six: Aha, didn't expect that, did you?

My name is Veigar, I am 8 years old, I play League of Legends for 8 hours every day, I do 20 minutes of Q-mana exercises every night at 10 o'clock sharp, I drink a cup of warm milk before going to bed and make sure I get 8 hours of sleep so that I don't leave any pressure for the next day. The doctor said I am very normal.

Yes, except for the one next to it with the big head.

"Damn it, aren't you supposed to be a support? Push forward!"

"What a load of rubbish, I'm a fragile piece of meat."

"If you're crispy, then what am I?"

"Of course, they are sacrificial offerings."

In the first wave of the game, TES's bot lane duo both stayed far behind the minion wave, just sitting in that extreme position and accumulating experience, showing absolutely no intention of going up to touch the minion wave.

There's no way around it; it's cutting-edge technology, and the lack of human rights at the highest level is already the norm.

It can't really be called cutting-edge technology. Back when Roland was still duo-queuing with JackeyLove in LDL, he tried all sorts of support champions, all so that he could have the ability to fight back after JackeyLove landed a Q.

Time was developed back then, Raven was developed back then, and the same goes for Veigar. Especially against double-dive combinations like Tristana + Leona, tanky Veigar is a nightmare for the opposing bot lane duo.

The two were quite adept at it; although they were still verbally sparring, they didn't give each other any chance, preferring to lose experience rather than offer an opportunity.

"So stable."

"No chance. When we get to level two, step back a bit, I'll go ward." Mark was also saying, "What the hell? What happened to 'Tao Bo Shuang Lang, your partner'? What's with this bot lane being so stable?"

Two "orphans" forming a bond, and two negatives make a positive?

Mark couldn't figure it out, but for the sake of the game's tempo, he could only rely on his advantage of being level two quickly to place wards in the enemy jungle in an attempt to pinpoint Graves' location.

In this game, TES's mid, top, and jungle were the stronger side in the early game.

Graves was originally chosen to counter Trundle, and Karma is an early-game lane bully. If a fight breaks out in the jungle, Knight will probably be able to come to the rescue in a few seconds.

The blue team's vision came down, and seeing the empty lower jungle of the red team, they understood Graves' jungle route: he was farming upwards.

Having received the news, Wolf also took a step back.

Grey Wolf has been successfully logged off, and Timber Wolf has been successfully logged on!

If you want Wolf to compete with Holy Gun in terms of skill, then you are really giving him too much credit. But if you just want him to hold the line?

Excuse me, have you ever heard of a team that tanks every year?

He's an expert at things like maintaining a stable trading line!

With the top lane priority relinquished and Knight pressuring the mid lane, LGD, knowing full well the enemy Graves' jungle route, still chose to leave their jungle wide open, letting Trundle happily go beg for food in the lower jungle.

Why? Because no one can support him.

I cleared the jungle in the top half of the jungle and you're telling me that the top and mid laners don't have lane priority? Are you trying to kill me, the jungler?

No matter how talented Peanut is, he can only back down in this situation. Looking down at the bottom lane, Roland and JKL have become one with the turret, and Peanut's rhythm immediately collapses.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Peanut is having a tough time as a jungler," PYL, a fellow professional player, immediately saw Peanut's current predicament, which is why he chose to support TES even though LGD is his main team.

Because with TES right now, unless you have a solo laner who can shut down their mid or top lane, no matter how you play against them, you'll feel like they're invincible.

Wolf Walk is out of the question.

As for Xi Ye... you'd have to hypnotize him into thinking he's already abroad, otherwise it'll be tough.

"Kanavi's rhythm is pretty good, he's already invading the jungle." Roland, who was keeping an eye on the dynamics of the whole map, spotted the Graves invading at a glance. Although Kanavi's Graves still can't play like Kanavi, he has learned the pretentious playstyle quite well.

after all.

If he can't learn Kanavi, can't he learn Ning Mazi?

Just hack it and that's it.

"It's alright, what do you guys say about the bot lane?"
