You actually want me to...

"When you realize that something you've been holding in your heart all along, and then find that someone else is eyeing it with envy, I think anyone would fight tooth and nail to give it their all at that moment."

"Heroes should enjoy the adoration of the masses, shouldn't they?" With that, White Crescent put down her notebook, straightened her clothes, and confidently walked towards the top of the booth.

Meanwhile, during the break in the S10 theme song "Unstoppable", all ten players from the two teams, LPL and LCK, had already come up onto the stage via the stage's lift. Because most of the lights in the arena had been turned off in advance, Roland could hardly see anything in the audience seats after he went on stage, except for the noise around him.

Just as he was trying to open his eyes wide, the lights of the entire arena turned on instantly as the hero "Galio" made his grand entrance, and endless cheers and roars erupted at that moment.

It was a continuous expanse of swaying red support items, starting from the far left of the audience seats and spreading outwards to the right of the stage, eventually transforming into a sea of ​​red flowers below.

This S10 opening ceremony, which Roland had always considered the most lackluster in history in his previous life, gave Roland an unprecedented shock during the opening ceremony segment before the start of the competition.

Endless cheers converged from all directions, and the sea of ​​red flowers swayed and shimmered in the cold wind. Roland covered his chest with his hand, his eyes repeatedly confirming the sight.

Since his debut, he has never experienced what it's like to compete live.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary spectator in front of the camera. After transmigrating, although he played in LDL for a whole year, everyone knows how low the attention LDL receives. There is no way that the live audience can reach the size of an LPL match.

Having finally made it to the LPL, he was then struck by a natural disaster, forcing the competition to be moved from offline to online. It seems that Lady Luck is constantly pulling him along.

Since his debut, he has never actually felt the "pressure" of being a professional player.

He knew he seemed to have many fans, but the internet is the internet after all. Back offline, how many of them were truly his fans? He had no idea about his influence.

On stage, the host was still giving his introduction.

When the person being introduced finally came to the player named TES_BAN, a cheer that was even louder than at the beginning of the opening ceremony and more deafening than any previous sound erupted at that moment.

The audience of over 6000 people all seemed to be giving their all to cheer for themselves.

This was his own cheer, a cheer for the professional player named Roland.

"These are all...my fans!?"

Those fans who kick themselves out of their own fan groups.

Those fans who hang their names under their own supertopic names but never admit their own identities.

Those fans who constantly complain about how badly they play in the live stream, yet never stop paying attention to them.

On this day, it finally came together in its truest form and appeared before Roland's mind, and was deeply imprinted in the depths of his memory.

Why play professionally? It's all for the money.

[Support? That's obviously to ride on someone else's coattails. As for being a pro, it's because they couldn't study that they became pros.]

[Training? Don't be ridiculous. I'm just angry and want revenge. Once I'm done, I'll go back and start slacking off, unless you give me money.]

But senior, do audiences who have already experienced the light really need a new radiance?

The self-doubts that followed the arduous training vanished in an instant. At this moment, Roland finally understood what the "light" that his predecessors had risked their lives to protect truly meant.

It is not because of dedication that we exist, but because we exist that we must dedicate ourselves.

Countless emotions welled up in my heart and lungs at this moment, and waves of fighting spirit and passion surged forth, seemingly ready to burst forth at any moment.

My heart was pounding, and my hands were shaking violently.

Roland suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the DWG group diagonally opposite him. The fighting spirit contained in his gaze was so strong that it unconsciously inspired his teammates, making their morale rise even higher.

Seemingly sensing Roland's gaze, Genshin Impact looked directly into those fearless eyes, and his expression changed. His usual frivolity and languor vanished, replaced by a deep gaze filled with hidden wisdom and indifference.

Yes, that's how we should be.

Despite their different teams, stances, and even the mobile game lineups they represent, they are like two destined individuals, meant to fight fiercely at their peak.

Under the watchful eyes of all League of Legends esports enthusiasts worldwide, even through the screen, one could feel the intense rivalry between these two competing teams as they locked eyes.

This is the pinnacle battle of the region, and also a battle for the players' dignity. Regardless of the outcome, this battle will be recorded as history on the milestones of League of Legends esports careers.

A League of Legends anthem quietly began to play after the TES and DWG players took their arms, stirring up passion and adrenaline!

I got the heart of lion

Climbing high and falling hard

I know the higher you climb the harder you fall

Why worry about having the heart of a lion?

I'm at the top of the mountain

A panoramic view of the mountains

Too many bodies to count I've been through it all

No amount of hardship is worth mentioning.

I had to weather the storm to get to level I'm on

No setbacks, no bloodshed

That's how the legend was born

What kind of legend are you?

All of my enemies already dead

Forget your nemesis, forget the past.

I'm bored. I'm ready for more.

I want to ascend the throne again.

They know I'm ready for war

Go into battle today.

I told em

P.S.: I got so caught up in writing that I just posted it, and now I've run out of drafts for tomorrow, so tomorrow's update might be a little late.

PS2: This book will end with S11, and I will finish writing it when we meet in the finals. I will not fight for the championship. There are two reasons for this: one is that I have basically finished writing the strategies before the Mythic equipment, and I really want to write new strategies for the Mythic version. The other is that I have not finished developing the protagonist. Because the teammates in S10 are too strong, the protagonist has not yet been fully developed into a qualified captain.

Unfortunately, I have a morbid obsession with the protagonists I create; I feel they are not perfect enough.

Sublimation: Chapter Sixty-Two: Deploying Troops and Facing Off Against Each Other.

On the contestants' bench, the white crescent moon was now facing its first clash of wits in this round of competition. Both sides had points to address in this contest.

DWG may need to address two points:

Knight's Syndra and the support Swain with an almost 100% win rate.

TES also needs to address two points:

Canyon's formidable Leopard Girl and Showmaker's Twisted Fate, with a professional win rate exceeding 90%, make them almost evenly matched in terms of counterplay.

As for the meta champions, both teams can pick almost any of them. The only difference is that with Graves and Nidalee being banned, DWG can pick Kindred, while TES can pick Lillia. Both teams have a good tactical reserve, and the only difference is the focus.

As some experts on Zhihu have said: to beat DWG, you either need to open up the bottom lane to free up all three lanes, or you need to gain an advantage in the jungle. In other words, you either need to take down Ghost or Canyon. Taking down Ghost is relatively easier, but taking down Canyon is more profitable.

First round of bans:

DWG: Camille, Syndra, Swain

TES: Nidalee, Twisted Fate, Lucian

The blue team targets BAN, and the red team targets version BAN; there's no major issue.

One round of PICK:

DWG's Graves is the top pick in the current meta, no problem at all.

TES countered by picking Ornn + Ashe, aiming to break DWG's Ashe + Pantheon combination, which performed exceptionally well at Worlds. This combination provided DWG with both initiation and vision control, while also ensuring vision and strength, making it particularly suitable for Ghost's role. Dismantling it was always a good idea.

DWG's second and third picks are Wukong and Orianna, forming a three-core lineup of mid, top, and jungle, with the bot lane ready to engage.

At this point, the AD carries remaining outside include Ezreal, Jhin, Senna, Caitlyn, and Ursa. They are not afraid of being banned at all.

TES picked Lillia as their last pick, giving the mid laner more room to maneuver.

Second round of bans: Qiyana, Nocturne, Senna, and Caitlyn were all banned.

With their fourth pick, TES brought out Irelia for the mid lane to strengthen the mid lane, ensuring both lane dominance and a threat to Graves in the jungle.

In their final two picks, DWG successfully secured Jhin and Pantheon.

This is a secondary alternative to Ashe + Pantheon, but it can still be played very well by Ghost King and Genshin Impact. DWG's lineup is confirmed: top lane Wukong, jungle Graves, mid lane Orianna, and bot lane Jhin + Pantheon.

BeryL's Pantheon's dominance is terrifying, but this did not cause panic among LPL viewers.

Because there's an unwritten formula in TES's draft picks: when the support role is the last pick in the team's ban list, he always manages to pull out something that can change the course of the game.

"If I choose this one, I'm betting everything on you."

"I'm a former world champion, after all. As long as you can guarantee that Pantheon can't touch me, taking on two opponents at once won't be a problem."

"Great opportunity. I love your arrogant confidence."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's choose."

The moment the words left his mouth, an incredibly familiar hero icon appeared before the League of Legends esports enthusiasts.

I'm not a hero, just a Yordle with a hammer.

Poppy, the Hammer of Divine Will, locked on!

"Bob...Bobby?"

"Is this hero also viable?"

On the other side of the stage, the LPL commentators felt they couldn't understand the game anymore. Sofm's pick of Shen as jungler during the semifinals was already amazing, but now Roland's pick of Poppy as support was even more jaw-dropping.

【666666】

What does "a sea of ​​heroes" even mean? (hands on hips)

[Support: Refers to a hero that can be played with almost anything except enchanter supports.]
