You actually want me to...

Top laner TheShy, jungler Karsa, mid laner Rookie, bot lane JKL + Aban

From any perspective, you can feel the influence of Incheon people everywhere in the LPL. They have high expectations for IG's trident, and even Ning's votes are closely closing in on the second place in the jungle position.

As for the most popular commentator, Xiran suddenly rose to the top five after her relationship was announced. However, after seeing veteran and professional commentators like Miller and Remember on the list, Roland discussed it with her and ultimately decided to use the "play dead" tactic.

Yibo remained silent and steadily achieved a result of around fifth place, taking it all in stride. As for the first place, it ultimately went to Xiaoyu.

Looking at the vote count by the deadline, Roland was both impressed by the incredible strength of the first champion and worried that he might be easily defeated by The Shy during the All-Star game, or that the game might end in a direct confrontation.

After all, hope Ran...

Cough cough, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

perhaps?

Of course, since it was his lunch break, Roland only thought about it once and didn't delve any deeper into it.

At worst, we can deal with whatever comes our way; it's not impossible to see who can deliver the enemy faster.

After a huge signing fee fell from the sky, Roland was initially excited, but then a mix of anxieties swirled in his mind. Everyone desires overnight riches, but the real challenge lies in maintaining composure afterward.

So Roland waved his hand and treated the entire TES team to a nice meal.

"So... Shaxian Grand Hotel is the grand meal you were talking about?" Looking at the old menu in front of them, which they could recite by heart, the group looked at Roland's face with increasing bewilderment.

"What's wrong with Shaxian? When I was at my poorest, I dreamed of being rich enough to eat at Shaxian every day. Now that I'm grown up, what's wrong with realizing my dream?"

"Alright, it's your treat, you decide."

Having gotten used to this guy's occasional stinginess, everyone wasn't so fussy and simply sat down. To be honest, how many professional players are actually from wealthy families? Most of them honed their skills in illegal internet cafes in their early days. Back when food delivery wasn't popular, they ate cheap boxed lunches that were loudly advertised in internet cafes at noon, and they were notoriously unpalatable.

Shaxian cuisine is indeed considered high-end. In fact, as soon as we sat down, we felt the familiar atmosphere and reminisced about the past. We ate and chatted, which made us feel more relaxed.

"To be honest, in the early years, my greatest pleasure was seeing if I could catch some old guys in Shaxian."

"For example?"

"Three or five bottles, a couple of punches, and this guy even knows military boxing."

"Leave your card number, this is a token of my appreciation; whether it's a large or small donation is up to fate."

"Holy crap, it's a fellow professional!"

"Are you a comedian too?"

"Absolutely! The stories of the guys inside are all incredibly fascinating."

After mastering the secret code specific to Shaxian County, everyone discovered that their shared talent for boasting gradually improved. Of course, those who know the code understand it, and those who don't are advised not to bother learning about it; in a sense, it's not a good thing.

The next day.

As Roland returned to the official "online competition venue," the first day of the 2020 League of Legends All-Star event finally began.

As one of the four major regions, LPL will have 5v5 main matches against LJL (Japan) and VCS (Vietnam) in the fourth and fifth games, and a 1v1 mini-match between LPL teams in the sixth game.

Seeing these two deans-level figures appear before him, Roland felt a little nervous, even though they were opponents he had been playing against for a whole year.

His nervousness intensified, especially after seeing the shy man.

"Hello." Upon seeing his soon-to-be teammate, Rookie was the first to reach out and greet him. After all, Xiaoyu's winning the Best Host award was largely due to Roland and Xiran's lack of campaigning.

However... just as he was about to reach out, a tremendous force suddenly appeared and firmly clamped his left hand into his chest, while a voice, slurring its words, pulled him and shouted loudly, "Gig, Gig, save me, Gig!!!"

Rookie: ? ? ?

Integration: Chapter Seven: Let's Get Started!

A few minutes later, after everyone had figured out the cause of the guy's illness, the group finally ended the farce with a mix of laughter and tears.

To put it bluntly, it was just a rumor in S8. If there had been any real potential, there wouldn't have been no news by S12. It's like that opportunistic trendsetter "Bucktooth" who was also a master of hype in the past few years, but what happened?

I understand everything I understand.

After figuring things out, Roland was much less reserved around Shy Man and Chicken, especially Shy Man.

You can say this man has become slacker, or criticize him for not communicating in Chinese after playing in the LPL for so many years, or even say he's been slacking off since S10. But in the S8 World Championship, this man was undoubtedly the "shining light" for almost all LPL players.

Even Roland was not immune to this.

After all, in a sense, he is also a player who started as a top laner.

After some discussion, the group came up with a preliminary plan for the upcoming All-Star game: everyone would do their own thing.

To put it bluntly, it's about picking any hero and switching positions at will, completely slacking off and just having fun, to tell the audience we're just here to have fun.

The All-Star event is essentially an official event to give back to the fans, but it comes at the cost of the players' holidays. This is why S9's Si Shao Mingpai said he didn't want to go, but ended up having to participate and then chose to go.

Because it's such a waste of time.

The All-Stars from each region come together once, and then the All-Stars from the LPL region come together again. If they don't play the Demacia Cup, it's fine, but if they also play the Demacia Cup, it's like a seamless connection between various events, from the old year to the new year, with only a few days of rest in between.

But this year is different.

It's not that the situation is different, but rather that this year's All-Star lineup has an incredibly large fan base.

If the old trio of IG and the young master of the e-sports Deyun Society were to actually play together, everyone would just treat this match as an entertainment game.

Of course, winning would be the best outcome.

This All-Star event didn't entirely feature the same players from the LJL region who made it to the S11 World Championship knockout stage; at least the mid, bot, and jungle players weren't represented.

Top laner Evi, a master of both hammer-form Tristana and Urgot.

Blank, the jungler, was SKT's substitute/regular jungler during S6-S7. He was nicknamed "Black King". As a former SKT team champion jungler, he suffered a series of losses after joining LJL, but he still came out as an All-Star representative. This was mainly because in this era of competing to be the worst, he did have a great advantage.

Ceros, the mid-laner, nicknamed "Little Faker of Japan," is Japan's number one mid-laner, and his signature move is Heimerdinger.

The bot lane duo of Yutapon and Gaeng, a veteran AD carry with ten years of experience paired with a Korean support, is something we never expected. It's truly astonishing that the Japanese can sit on equal footing with the Koreans and play games together, even representing the Japanese region without any prestige.

Overall, LJL's opponents are not strong, even quite weak.

This explains why male hormones have no effect on Japanese men. If there were a women's team, LPL could easily send a female hormone to win them over, but unfortunately, they can't.

While the five LPL players were contemplating what to play, the five LJL players were equally focused. Given the impressive performances of the two fun matches by the LCK, LJL decided to decide whether to play seriously or casually based on the first pick from the LPL.

After a series of chaotic bans.

LPL's first pick: Nunu

When this thing appeared, it completely stunned the audience and players, because LCK had just won this game.

[Good grief, so you're starting to copy homework, huh?]

[LPL: Ugh, so annoying, I don't know what to pick. Fine, I'll just use a lineup that appeared last time to fool them.]

These guys are ridiculously lazy.

[Real Entertainment Match - JPG]

LPL's extremely perfunctory draft picks left even the broadcast director speechless. Then, LPL's hero selection was even more baffling, with champions like Rengar, Taliyah, Lucian, and Thresh appearing, making the entire lineup a complete mess.

On the other hand, LJL's lineup was relatively normal: Renekton, Lee Sin, Ziggs, Jhin + Rakan.

Even until the moment the opponent finally confirmed their hero, Roland still felt a little regretful. Wasn't this the guy who was a master of Urgot? Why didn't he pick him? If the opponent dared to pick Urgot, he would have picked Amumu on the fifth floor to create some entertainment for them.

"You seem a little disappointed?"

"Pretty much, what a pity about Amumu."

"It's okay, at least everyone can play without worry this round, right?"

"That's true."

On the surface, LPL simply chose a weak lineup to counter LJL's relatively reasonable lineup. This is understandable, given that LJL is a desert region for esports, so they would naturally be more focused on the match.

Just when almost everyone thought the game was about to begin, in the final seconds, the five heroes from the LPL side used the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" technique in a mere two or three seconds.

The Rengar was given to the top lane – played by Roland.

Taliyah was given to the jungler – played by Rookie.

Nunu was given to the mid lane – Karsa was in charge.

Lu Xian plays AD carry – TheShy is in charge

As for Thresh in the end, it's definitely JackeyLove.

Upon seeing this outrageous lineup, LOL fans around the world, after a brief silence, erupted into even more terrifying cheers and enthusiasm.

【666666】

Good grief, they're really shaking it hard here.

This lineup is so bad it's unbelievable!

[You can arrange it however you like!]

There's not much to say; LPL's attitude has been made very clear in this match.

I'll set the table, you can do as you please.

Anyway, I've created the entertainment value. As for the outcome of the competition, don't make it too difficult for me. Just treat it as entertainment and that's it.

"Wow, he's actually playing top lane?"

In the LPL's rest room, Haro and Ale, two kids who were holding back, comforted Knight, saying that he couldn't go because there were too many people from TES at the All-Star event, while they stared in disbelief at their teammates performing on stage.

Especially Ah Le.

As fellow top laners, he and Roland had faced off many times in Korean solo queue, which is why he respected Roland from the moment he joined the team.

Because when this guy plays top lane, his playstyle is more aggressive than anyone else's if he can beat the opponent, but if he can't beat the opponent, he builds tanky items to absorb damage and becomes a burden for his teammates. He is shameless and only cares about getting points.

Seeing this guy return to the top of the top lane at the All-Star event.

Ah Le could only silently send a sympathetic look to LJL's top laner in his heart, and then silently say, "Amen."

Compilation: Chapter 8: Caught Online, Laughing While Scrolling

In the first team fight, the five players from both sides grouped up in a very coordinated manner and gathered in the side lane bushes. Unfortunately, one side was in the top lane and the other side was in the bottom lane. The two groups prepared for a long time but still ended up with nothing.

"That shouldn't be the case. The crocodiles are so strong, why aren't they coming to give the crocodiles an advantage?"

"They probably think they can beat you in lane. In a sense, Rengar jungle is barely T3, but if he goes to top lane, he becomes T5."
