You actually want me to...

Looking at the familiar host, Sister Shuang, Roland greeted her with a smile and then began to follow the procedures.

Interviews after winning the final are different from interviews after winning a game in the group stage.

These short interviews typically involve questions about why players make risky moves on the field, requiring either a formal answer or something designed to be entertaining. Roland, however, after a moment's thought, decisively chose to stir things up.

Q1: I'd like to ask our player Aban, how did you come up with the bold option of using Time Assist to deal with FLY?

A1: People are always bound by certain perceptions in their lives; that's reality. But these perceptions themselves are ambiguous, and reality may just be a mirage.

Sister Shuang: ?

Somewhat bewildered, Shuangjie glanced at Roland beside her. At first, she thought he had simply misspoke, but after confirming that Roland's 24K titanium alloy eyes showed no sign of wavering, she suddenly remembered that this guy also seemed to have the title of "Young Master of E-sports in Deyun Society".

Good grief, are they pulling a stunt during the interview?

Q2: Haha, it's clear that our player Aban is quite interesting. What was your mindset when you flashed over the wall from F6 to control the enemy? If that control had failed, you might have lost Baron, right?

A2: Without the awareness to be killed, one has no right to kill.

Shuangjie: ? ? ?

Are you coming back again? When will this end?

At this moment, Shuangjie already regretted coming to be in charge of the TES interview. What kind of chuunibyou teenagers were these, dragged from some timeline? They're such a pain in the ass.

[2333, let's get this party started, guys!]

[This is from a long-time anime/manga fan; the vibe is really strong. This guy is definitely a social terrorist.]

【Eh, eh, 'Doshte'? Why would you try to 'erasure' yourself like this? ★(laughs) Well, whether it's your chuunibyou self or your 2D self... "all" daisuki~>w

[Damn, the person upstairs is probably a prostitute too.]

Although this interview sounds extremely unserious, it undoubtedly garnered huge viewership. People love watching this kind of quirky stuff, and as long as you win the game, these quirky antics will only be a bonus.

Q3: Ahem, one last question, what would you like to say to your LPL teammates who will be attending the upcoming matches?

Upon hearing this, Roland knew the crucial moment had arrived.

As the saying goes, things shouldn't happen more than three times, and this third question definitely needs a serious answer. After racking his brains, Roland finally found the most suitable sentence for the current situation, even with his relatively limited vocabulary.

He looked ahead, clenched his fist, and smiled at the camera, saying, "No matter what happened in the past, as long as we move forward together, there will be no enemies in front of us."

"LPL, go!"

As he finished speaking, Roland felt a mixture of shame and excitement. He had finally managed to pull off this three-step act of arrogance.

From this moment on, he will stand atop the e-sports and anime world!

Sublimation: Chapter Twelve: This War, Backed by Our Faith.

The other three LPL teams were very moved by Roland's "wonderful" speech after the match. After all, their brothers from the same region had already won their first game, so naturally they had to prove themselves in the next game.

JDG and LGD immediately responded, but lost two games in a row.

JDG's first international match, coupled with their reputation for underperforming in international competitions, and their opponent being DWG, a favorite to win the LCK championship, it's normal that they lost their first game.

It's a slow burner, you know what I mean.

However, LGD's loss to GEN was truly a shock. The fourth seed losing to the third seed might seem harmless on the surface, right? But the problem is that while GEN has participated in many world championships, they've almost never performed well.

It was obvious to everyone that these two teams were like two patients competing to see who was less sick. In the end, it turned out that LGD's condition was more serious. After playing for 45 minutes, they gave up the victory due to a mistake in a crucial team fight.

That's good now.

On the first day of the group stage, the LCK next door won 3-0, while our LPL lost 1-2. At this rate, the momentum is going to be out of control.

From the qualifying rounds until now, everyone who wanted to prove Lilia wrong has been proven wrong by Lilia.

[The answer in this version is Lilia; whoever takes her will die.]

As soon as Peanut revealed his bid, I knew this game was going to be a huge win.

So who exactly was using Lillia to dominate in the scrims?

Seeing these comments on the big screen, the TES players all fell silent, especially the last one. Flandre scratched his head, recalling how he had dominated the scrims with Lillia in the top lane before the group stage started.

"This...shouldn't have anything to do with us, right?"

"Of course, we're playing top lane. Jungle Lillia? We're really not familiar with her." Before Flandre could even open his mouth to defend himself, White Crescent would naturally throw the blame onto him immediately, since the burden was so heavy that anyone who took it would be doomed.

"I think the peanuts are pretty outrageous. By the way, do we have a match tomorrow?"

"No tomorrow, we'll take a day off."

Since there are four teams in the region, and there are only six matches per day in the group stage, one team will inevitably have a bye for a day as the tournament progresses. Thinking about the results of the past World Championships, Roland was also considering whether to control the score or something.

This is where the problem arises.

Point control is something like that.

If you can get first place but don't, it will greatly affect the morale of the region and the team.

However, if you come in first place and the team in your region comes in second, you may have to write a championship IOU.

This is really frustrating.

If no LPL team finishes the group stage and doesn't even get a single group winner, Roland has no doubt that online criticism of the LPL will explode instantly.

All I can say is, let it be.

Meanwhile, in DWG's meeting room, a group of players and coaches were reviewing TES's match recordings with serious expressions. Because TES was the team that achieved a quadra kill against LCK teams at the MSC (and also at the previous World Championship), they had been under intense scrutiny from various teams even before entering the World Championship.

There are many top lane champions, but most of them are not mastered.

There are many jungler heroes, but jungle carry heroes don't have their own distinct style.

He has a vast pool of mid-lane heroes and unparalleled mechanics, but his ability to assess the game situation is very weak.

AD champions are plentiful, and getting hit by Q+ in crucial team fights can easily create opportunities.

The support hero pool seems to also act as the team's commander, with the advantage and disadvantage being that they like to initiate team fights.

This team has five heroes, what are these coaches and analysts supposed to analyze? What kind of luck did TES have to collect so many freaks?

Huh? Money power?

Sorry to bother you.

LCK has always admired LPL's financial power, after all, money makes the world go round. Just look at how many talented LCK players have been bought by LPL for huge sums of money, even coach Kkoma was bought once.

Of course, there are ways to overcome this problem.

No team is born invincible. Since the inception of the S-series, they have seen plenty of super teams from various regions. Some played well, some played poorly, and of course, some were just plain bad.

Although TES seems invincible, DWG believes they are just as good.

The key to countering TES lies in targeting their support. From the map markers of several matches, it is clear that TES's lineup is composed of a support connecting four attackers, much like Akashi, the captain of the Generation of Miracles in "Kuroko's Basketball".

Activate, allocate, and start a group.

Faced with such a monster with a deep hero pool and strong initiation capabilities, the natural response is to counter it with an equally powerful monster, and so...

"Beryl, this man will be your formidable rival."

"Oh," Beryl replied weakly, numbly pressing her phone, her mind filled only with her favorite Princess Connect.

The DWG members were already used to this.

A genius with extraordinary talent can be this capricious.

What League of Legends?

We're really not familiar with each other.

Playing LOL is his job, but playing Princess Connect is his life. He can tell the difference between his main job and his secondary job (doge). Seeing this guy's unmotivated expression, head coach Zefa knew that he had to use his ultimate move to motivate Beryl.

“Listen, Beryl, you really need to take him seriously.”

"Oh."

“Because, as far as we know, your opponent Ban is an Arknights player.” After saying that, Zefa clicked on a photo.

"Oh, um!???" Beryi's eyes narrowed as if he had heard something strange, and his whole demeanor changed instantly.

There are countless mobile games on the market, but a winner must always emerge.

The moment this topic was brought up, Beryi instantly felt that the game had a different meaning. If before he thought the match against TES was just a normal business competition, then now, with that man on the other side now bearing the title of Rhodes Island, things had changed.

In his mind, this competition had escalated to a battle for honor.

Is the Adventurers' Guild going to war with Rhodes Island?

Wow, what an exciting opponent!

Seeing Beryi in top form, Rongguang thought for a moment and decided to add fuel to the fire and let him unleash his full potential: "Um... just in case you don't know, the enemy top laner's ID is Flandre, you know what I mean?"

"Gentlemen, I've been ignited!"

The rest of DWG: ......

the other side.

Roland, who had just finished a training match at the hotel, was about to relax by looking at his phone during his break when he discovered that his media app was flashing incessantly as if it had been bombarded.

Could it be... that my post-match interview yesterday has finally generated buzz?

That doesn't make sense. Yesterday should have been the most talked-about day, but it was overshadowed by the two losses LPL suffered. If it's only getting popular now, it's practically a zombie apocalypse.

Out of curiosity, Roland clicked on his official Weibo account.

Then, a screenshot from a Twitter post appeared.

[DWG_Beryi: I will prove to you that Princess Connect is the most fun game in the world. Draw your sword, Dr. Rhodes Island!]

The accompanying photo is a picture of Zhang Luolan lying on a chair, seemingly engaged in rational thinking, taken by her staff.

The rhythm is explosive!

Sublimation: Chapter Thirteen: Who are you?

A certain music company probably will never understand why they could generate such a huge amount of buzz when they didn't buy any featured spots. Beryi, representing Princess Connect, openly declared war, and Roland, who loves a good spectacle, naturally accepted the challenge.

It was still September.
