You actually want me to...

The white crescent moon, on the other hand, is well-suited to the role of supervision.

As the saying goes, the ideal boss is Yagami Hikaru, and the real boss is Liang Feifan. The white crescent moon that has now gained momentum is almost at the level of Liang Feifan himself.

While TES's group finished their matches, the other groups were still working hard. Roland, who was calculating how many days of rest he had left to practice heroes, hadn't even taken two steps when he was pushed by White Crescent and then pulled away by the interviewer.

Compared to the "chosen one" arrow, they would rather see the highly topical Roland go up for an interview.

"Sister, why me again? My annual salary is at the bottom of the list. If you want to find a topic, go find those in the tens of millions. Wouldn't it be better to have JKL come over for an interview to boost the buzz?" Looking at Xiran, who was dragging her to the interview area, Roland was on the verge of tears.

He wants to rest, he wants to rest, don't you understand?

The joy of finally getting off work and then collapsing on the bed in the hotel to steal a moment to play on his phone was Roland's greatest source of happiness during this period.

You wretched woman, give me back my energy for slacking off!

"Stop messing around. Other contestants want to go but can't, and now that you're getting a chance, you're not happy about it."

"I really don't want to go. Why don't you talk to your superiors and see if you can get a replacement? I'll go back with you to kidnap someone."

"Forget about it. The higher-ups specifically requested you to do it. Forget about it."

Ultimately, it was Roland's formidable international popularity that made the difference. Previously, when these Westerners talked about the LPL, they might only recognize Uzi at most, and the rest were only vaguely familiar, preventing LPL players from gaining widespread attention overseas. Although PPGOD became popular recently, due to its symbolic meaning, the LPL naturally couldn't promote it extensively.

But Roland is different.

The trickster on the field, the hero pool in the support role, the artist of team fight initiation—one title after another has been inexplicably bestowed upon him, although most of them have the shadow of official PR and online hype.

But as the saying goes, if someone really doesn't have anything to offer, how can they possibly achieve results through mere publicity? Roland's flashy hero pool and his outspoken and daring spirit are his greatest weapons off the field.

Nothing.

Since there's nothing we can do about it, we might as well just enjoy it.

Q1: I'd like to ask BAN what his thoughts are on qualifying as the top seed in the group?

A1: Thoughts? What thoughts could there be today? Didn't we already confirm yesterday that we would advance as the group winners? You should have asked that question yesterday.

Looking at Roland's innocent and confused expression, hope Ran's face visibly darkened.

What an idiot!

Just saying polite things, don't you even know what polite things are?

She's usually quite clever during her live streams, but how come she becomes like an idiot as soon as she gets on stage? Forget it, I'm tired, let's just destroy it.

The unusual interview style made viewers watching the live stream burst into laughter.

One word: Arrogant!

[What the King said is absolutely right. Even if they lose this game, TES will still advance as the top team in the group. No doubt about it.]

Why is Garen so silent when we meet? Even the host is speechless.

[This isn't silence; to Korean fans, it's like Camille's second Q.]

Q2: I'd also like to ask a question that everyone is quite interested in. In this group stage, we can see that you and Prophet are taking turns playing. What are the team's thoughts on this?

Ideas...

After going through the ideas in his mind, Roland also organized his words.

A2: Ahem, as we all know, in TES, Prophet and I are two completely different support players. I personally lack confidence and dare not initiate team fights, while Prophet plays aggressively and recklessly. The coach arranged for us to take turns playing, which must have been because he saw this and wanted to use the pressure of the competition to correct our shortcomings. I can understand that.

hope Ran: ? ? ?

TES members: ? ? ?

Viewers watching the live stream: ? ? ?

Are you too insecure to start a group purchase?

You're practically shitting on someone's face and you still don't dare to start a group fight? What a load of bull!

After listening to Roland's answer, Xiran quietly changed her answer sheet.

She finally understood that this guy was just there to make things difficult for the host. In order to prevent him from making things worse, hope Ran decided to change the last question to a simple one that was unrelated to the competition.

Q3: It seems our banner is still a little modest. So, for this last question, everyone knows you're a Shaco master. So, when we're laning against Shaco, how do we distinguish between the real and fake Shaco?

This question has nothing to do with the competition or any particular stance; it's purely a basic question of common sense. Anyone with a brain knows the answer is that the fake body loses more health. With this question as a prelude, this round of interviews shouldn't reveal any more bombshells.

A3: I'm not really worthy of the title of "Clown Master". I only play him occasionally. But if you're asking about ways to distinguish between the real and fake Clown, I can offer some constructive suggestions: To distinguish between the real and fake Clown, you just need to use a set of skills to brute force your way to his face. If he dies, it means he's the real one. If you die, it means he's the fake one. It's that simple.

hope Ran: ...

Sublimation: Chapter Thirty-One: The Changed History

With the group stage coming to a close, the results for the four LPL teams have finally been finalized.

LGD's elimination in the round of 16 proves that a 2v8 situation is truly unwinnable.

JDG defeated DWG in the second round, which can be considered a slight saving face.

TES advanced from the group stage with a perfect record, living up to their reputation as the number one seed.

But if you're asking about the most famous one? That would definitely be the SN team.

Bin's aggressive play and Sofm's unique jungling style were the core reasons SN gained fans at Worlds, especially Sofm. Before Worlds 2010, there had never been a situation in the World Championship where a jungler was more than 100 CS ahead of the opposing jungler.

Sofm's performance not only gave everyone a renewed understanding of the potential of jungling, but also allowed them to redefine the skill ceiling for junglers.

On the other hand, it completely confirms what the meta was during the World Championship – it was all about junglers.

Which side's jungle rhythm is more comfortable?

Which side has a higher control rate for the elemental dragons?

Which side's jungler can accomplish more?

These are all key factors that influence the outcome of the S10 tournament. Of course, these are only general insights. What truly captured everyone's attention was the announcement of the S10 knockout stage group stage.

Looking at the draw on the big screen, Roland felt a little conflicted.

In theory, he didn't want to see the three LPL teams in the same half of the bracket as in his previous life, exhausting themselves in the quarterfinals and fighting their way up. He would prefer to see LPL teams face off against strong LCK teams, even if they were outmatched and died along the way.

This time, the teams that advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Championship are not much different from before.

The top teams advancing from the group are: TES, SN, GEN, and DWG.

The second-placed teams from the group advance: FNC, JDG, G2, DRX

Roland envisioned that he wouldn't be drawn against JDG, even though they weren't afraid of JDG from the same region. Fortunately... it seems the timeline has shifted, giving this group draw a different feel.

Upper half:

DWG vs DRX

SN vs JDG

Lower half:

TES vs FNC

GEN vs G2

When the schedule was released, viewers around the world were completely bewildered.

The top eight teams from the LPL and LCK regions are simultaneously battling it out in the upper bracket, a clash of Shakespearean aesthetics and chaotic melee. Meanwhile, in the lower bracket, teams representing different regions are gathered together, although both G2 and FNC feel that GEN would look somewhat inferior here.

Is such that.

With TES already here, it would be a real disservice to Perkz if your LCK team didn't send DWG.

It's well known that there are always many inexplicable curses in the World Championship. For example, Perkz is born with a "cursing radar detector." Whenever he performs normally, he will take down a popular team in the current version every year. From S7 to S11, the probability of his skill activating was as high as 60%.

However, this passive situation might actually come into play this year. Among the four teams that advanced as the top seed from their groups, GEN seems to be the easiest to bully.

Ultimately, civil war was unavoidable.

[I hope I get a spot in the draw. It's an internal battle in the LCK too, but they're the region's number one seed playing against the number two seed, while we're the number two seed playing against the number three seed.]

I feel like there's a high chance DWG will play against TES this year.

Not necessarily, SN also has a chance in the upper half of the bracket.

Often, change happens subtly and gradually.

The biggest change brought about by Roland and Flandre joining TES was that it restored the confidence of LPL viewers in their teams. Despite LPL's two consecutive championships in S8 and S9, most viewers were actually unsure of their chances before playing against LCK teams in those two World Championships.

Ultimately, it's because the LCK's past dominance left such a deep impression.

"Not bad, not a civil war." After glancing at the new group assignments, Roland was already considering whether to recommend some beef noodle shops to FNC.

"He's been pretty lucky, and FNC is an old rival. Speaking of which, O'Clock has been a professional player for quite a while now."

"It's quite long, it's practically a living fossil."

"Jack, look at him. He's been playing for so many years before he went bald. You've only been playing for a few years and you've already gained a lot of weight."

"Get lost! That's just water retention."

Seeing JKL's furious expression, the rest of the people in the room burst out laughing.

FNC in S10 is basically made up of familiar faces.

Top laner BWIPO, S9 All-Star SOLO champion, the European version of Xiaohu. Unlike the domestic Xiaohu who transitioned to top, he became a jungler in S11, and is considered one of the most successful players to transition in S11, along with Xiaohu. He also has the glorious record of winning a 1v1 duel against TheShy.

BWIPO's classic Twitter quote: So many people rank top laners, but how many of them can actually beat TheShy in a 1v1?

Selfmade, the jungler, was the key figure in FNC's advancement to the knockout stage. Due to Rekkles' age and declining performance, the command of FNC in S10 was mostly in the hands of the mid and jungle. However, as the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female. If the two commanders in this team are going to clash, and neither of them becomes the sheath of the sword, they will definitely fight to the death.

SELFMADE's biggest contribution was successfully seizing control of the team before the knockout stage, turning Acid King into his personal sword sheath.

Nemesis, a mid-laner, debuted at the age of 18 as a prodigy and was touted as Caps' successor. He made a bold statement upon his debut, claiming he would defeat Faker. Before the match, he criticized Doinb, calling him a "carry" (meaning someone who is not good enough). However, after the S9 World Championship, he was defeated 3-1 by FPX. This matter should have been forgotten, but Nemesis's mistakes off the field were amplified by Doinb's analysis and promotion, leading to overwhelming public opinion both domestically and internationally that Nemesis was truly bad.

And then...and then nobody wanted this thing anymore.

This person is definitely the one who's laughing the brightest when a certain team loses in S11.

Bottom laner Ou Cheng, this is too familiar. Apart from his declining skills and lack of energy, giving up the command role and his gradually becoming less versatile in hero pool, there's not much else to say.

Here comes the key point: support HYLISSANG.

This player is almost the same style as Roland, not afraid to take the blame, has a deep hero pool, and plays extremely recklessly, even with a lower skill floor than Roland.

Many viewers who watch his matches feel that he's just throwing the game and think he should be fired.
