You actually want me to...

High wages, little training, casual practice matches, advocating for fun gaming, playing six or seven games a day is considered their effort, this training volume is even less than that of internet-addicted teenagers in internet cafes.

Such a perfect retirement paradise has led many players, once they join the main team, to secure their starting position, to avoid playing against the youth training team (second team), let alone other teams, and simply start to tank.

It's easy to imagine that a team that can come out of this region to compete in the World Championship must have exceptionally talented players. After all, they can dominate their region and compete in the World Championship despite playing so few matches, and occasionally even beat the top teams in the current meta. How could they possibly be a bunch of untalented players?

What they lack is a good environment and a group of good coaches.

But here's the problem: in terms of environment, they can crush opponents no matter what they do, and there are no opponents in the entire region who can put pressure on them. As for coaches, because the players' salaries are too high, clubs often don't have extra money to hire coaches.

Oh no, we're doomed.

This is why teams from regions other than LPL and LCK have consistently low win rates. They can gain an early advantage through various unconventional strategies and player skill, but they cannot expand that advantage, or even maintain it.

Simply put, they don't know how to operate, they only know how to win, which perfectly matches the characteristics of Europeans.

Now that UOL has realized they can't even maintain their early-game advantage, they've finally reverted to their most basic form: reckless brutes.

Just as Karsa was sneaking towards the mid lane, trying to quietly help Yasuo get some turret plating, UOL's mid, jungle, bot, and support quartet appeared in the bot lane in a way that defied common sense, completely surrounding Roland and JKL.

Seeing the four powerful figures surrounding Roland, countless question marks flashed through Roland's mind.

Aren't these guys afraid we'll take down their mid lane?

Seeing their own bottom laner both dead and the enemy's mid tower completely destroyed, the entire TES team fell into deep thought.

"Perhaps...this is a new tactic?"

"This vanguard is almost crashing into the mid-lane high ground, and you're telling me this is a tactic?"

"How would I know? It can't be that the other side is crazy."

"Give it a try, what if?"

Wanting to test the waters, Flandre recalled immediately after pushing the lane, wanting to see if the enemy was truly insane and only interested in fighting. Since he was pushing the lane, he knew the enemy had no vision in the river; if the enemy top laner dared to engage like this...

Then all he can say is that UOL is truly amazing.

Then, Camille came on.

Dizziness, shield, sweeping kick!

Camille's 100% counter-kill combo was instantly deployed. Before the enemy top laner could even create space and start showing off, the recovered Jax had already delivered a slash followed by a powerful slam into the enemy's head.

Conqueror continues, unleashing his ultimate ability.

Before level 6, I could catch up with you when you used your sweeping kick, but now that I'm at level 6, you still dare to mess with me. Have you never died before?

Smash it, sir!

With a weapon fully equipped with Conqueror and maxed passive, he didn't even bother with creeps, relentlessly chasing and attacking the enemy Camille.

What makes Camille so strong in S10?

His strength lies in his ability to split push in a 4-1 formation, while his teammates can apply pressure with elemental dragons.

But what about the laning phase?

Most top laners can be easily dominated by her. Top laners like Darius are known for their high skill ceiling. As long as the Camille player isn't incredibly meticulous, Darius can easily solo kill Camille even if you give him two kills behind.

The most discussed topic in the Camille forum that year was: So why would anyone want to play Camille top lane? Is it because of the higher MMR?

Seeing the top laner go all out and chase the enemy to the tower, resulting in a 1-for-1 trade, Roland instantly understood the strategy for this game.

Entertainment Bureau.

If I'm not mistaken, the main rhythm of this game will be a crazy fight, and then I remembered that I'm playing Xerath this game.

So...maybe today we can try to win the MVP prize money?

Holy crap!?

I'm fired up!

"Ah Shui, I've thought it through. There are limits to human abilities."

"what?"

"I have learned one thing from my short life: the more cunning a person is, the more likely they are to fall into unforeseen situations, unless they are superhuman."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I want to say, I don't want to be human anymore, Jack!"

TES丶BAN (Xerath) purchased [Mejai's Soulstealer]!

Yes, the murder mystery book.

Roland understood very well that he was just a support player, and his taunt ability was not as high as Ah Shui's Syndra, which meant that he had a greater chance of survival. Given the increasingly chaotic pace of the game, if he could not quickly catch up in terms of equipment and damage, then he might not be able to compete for today's MVP in the upcoming matches.

Therefore, he had to give up everything.

Just as Roland was holding his breath, figuring out how to sell AD to steal KDA, a conspicuous yellow message popped up in the lower left corner of the screen.

TES丶JKL (Syndra) purchased [Mejai's Soulstealer]!

Roland: ? ? ?

【666666】

[I was thinking we wouldn't see any more scholars this game since Knight is playing Yasuo, but now the odds are completely doubled.]

Who gave these two women the courage to make that "murder mystery" gesture? Fish Leong?

Honestly, when I play games, if the enemy team gets a Kill Ring, I'll give my teammates a heads-up, and then I'll just chase after that person and kill them, ignoring everyone else.

[Mahjong, you can lose the game, but taunting must die!]

"Don't worry, I won't let you be the only target of ridicule. It's just a murder mystery book, I'll follow along." When he spoke, Ah Shui's expression was so solemn that if Roland hadn't accidentally caught a glimpse of the slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, he would have almost believed him.

Screw you!

You bastard, you just don't like me and want to steal my MVP, what the hell are you trying to prove?!

Roland was stunned when he saw the equally conspicuous yellow book in JKL's equipment inventory.

Sublimation: Chapter Twenty-Two: The Good Brother Living Next Door

Ten minutes later.

When the classic 2-for-5 exchange was performed on stage once again, the Haier Brothers finally couldn't hold back their expressions and burst into laughter without any regard for their image.

It's too awful.

Roland originally thought that if he were the only one to build Mejai's Soulstealer, he should be able to survive and successfully farm thanks to his excellent range and JKL's rich experience in catching Qs.

But he didn't expect that JKL would also buy it.

The direct consequence was that the bot lane duo was subjected to an overwhelming level of taunting. UOL is a Russian team, and people from that country know what that means. If someone shouts "Hurrah!" and charges at you shirtless, how could anyone tolerate such taunting?

This is going to be a "Take this, the number one sword strike in China" for you!

Next time I'll give you the [White Emperor's Holy Sword, follow me on your sword].

Then, with a whoosh, Roland and Ah Shui were swept away.

What? Operations? That's not even in my head.

What? You're saying TES has a nearly 5,000 gold lead over them? That hasn't even happened yet. 5,000 is practically nothing. The advantage is on our side.

What? Flandre pushed the lane all the way to the high ground?

We can give way, we can lose the game, but the bottom lane must die!

Thanks to UOL's efforts, Roland and JackeyLove contributed a total of eleven kills, accounting for all of TES's deaths.

This really cracked up LPL viewers.

[A murder mystery book, huh? Huh? They're releasing a murder mystery book, huh?]

[This is hilarious, those two bot lane ganks basically fed the whole team kills.]

[That last play was hilarious. Flandre was pushing the lane and saw the enemy team charging in, so he thought he was going to be eliminated. But UOL ignored him and just kept charging into the bottom lane.]

[This is hilarious! A-Ban is even being forced to build support items.]

There's no way to stop your opponent when they're giving up on winning or losing just to get you down. Looking at his 3/5/6 score, Roland knew he definitely wasn't going to get the MVP award this game.

"Look what you've done!"

"Why? It's perfectly reasonable for a mage like me to buy a Mejai's Soulstealer, isn't it?"

"Then why don't you stand a little further away from me? Are you trying to get the prince to surround us both by standing like this?"

"Oh, well, we're going to get slaughtered by the other side anyway, and I figured Xerath looks like a coffin lid, so we might as well just send him to his death with a dragon."

"..."

Hearing JKL's utterly shameless words, Roland was completely at a loss.

There is an unspoken rule in TES.

If someone wins the MVP award on the day of the competition, they will not only get to eat a late-night snack without paying, but they will also get a free night's cleaning duties.

JKL is incredibly clever.

If this guy gets a bye tonight, then according to the order of play, he'll be the one responsible for cleaning up the mess tonight. Anyway, the other side has already started setting up for tonight's game. In order to avoid having to work overtime tonight, JKL has to slow down Roland's MVP race no matter what.

But now, he has gotten what he wanted.

When the match reached its final moment and UOL's Nexus exploded, the big screen showed the five UOL players chatting and laughing while high-fiving each other. In contrast, the winning TES team showed their top, mid, bottom, and jungle players all trying to suppress their laughter, along with Roland's sullen figure.

Yes, he really became withdrawn.

He has three more kills than JKL and three fewer deaths, but in terms of KDA, he and JackeyLove combined don't even have as many as Flandre in the top lane.

The thought that tonight's late-night snack might be congee made Roland feel numb.

[Holy crap? Why is JKL laughing while Banhuang looks so depressed?]

[Blind guess: the King of the Board lost another bet on his salary. Looking forward to a Heroic Mic Check.]

[He must have been trying to get MVP but failed; this guy's a total money-grubber.]

If I hadn't watched the match, I almost would have thought UOL had won this game.

Nothing.
