You actually want me to...

After all, IG's team uniform is indeed quite good-looking.

Of course, the officials were not to be trifled with either. After it was confirmed that TES would face IG in the next round, all sorts of Naruto memes began to spread in the LOL community, as if they were going to start a second Ninja World War. As far as insiders like Roland knew, they had specifically bought the rights to the Bluebird TV show for three days just for this Ninja World War.

That's incredibly awesome.

Of course, former IG jungler Ning also appeared as a commentator.

Speaking of which, Ning is probably the jungler who was most severely affected by IG's management. What does it mean to be the most severely affected?

Firing them first will clear your years of service with the company.

If you rehire them, you will no longer receive the benefits of long-term employees.

Although there are still minor differences, generally speaking, following this explanation is the right way to go.

"So, Ah Shui, what do you think of seeing your former team?" With such a big controversy, it's impossible not to annoy JKL.

"What else can I think? I'll just think of it that way."

"No way, you're the strongest AD in IG's history, oh wait, maybe we should also add the strongest support in IG's history."

“ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh, never mind.”

Honestly, if IG had acted like a normal person back then, the trident could have lasted another year or two. Unfortunately, a certain Mr. Su was too overpowered, which ultimately led to their current separation.

Of course, if you ask JKL now whether he has feelings for her, the answer is definitely yes.

As for how much or how little, that's a bit intriguing. The overlap between different clubs is like a long-distance relationship; you have to give each other some private space. It's good for all four of you (laughs).

There's nothing strange about it; the professional sports arena is a reflection of society itself.

Adolescence only lasts a few years. If you haven't pursued your dreams but still have the hope of doing so, that's fine. But if you've already reached the top and then kick someone when they're down, that's just asking for trouble.

Brother, you can play League of Legends, but you should play it according to the situation.

after all...

I used to think that the beauty of gatherings and separations was what made things beautiful, but in the end, even the mundane things in life are poetry.

Integration: Chapter Ninety-Two: My Mind is Full of Business

Several days later, after the TES team passed another nucleic acid test, they were finally able to enter the venue.

Of course, strict testing is one aspect, and Roland and others' desire to avoid infection is another.

This natural disaster is almost hellish in its impact on men. Why? Because research shows that any man affected will have a certain chance of suffering permanent damage to his penis.

They were all hot-blooded young men, and upon hearing this, they all exclaimed, "How the hell can we tolerate this?"

Then they turned around and asked everyone they met to show their health code. They also prepared as much alcohol, masks, and disposable gloves as possible. For the sake of the two brothers' future, they did almost everything they could to protect themselves.

"When do you think this damn thing will finally end?"

"It's nowhere in sight, but at least it's much better than those outside who have completely given up."

"It's different, buddy. Some people are naturally gifted in certain areas, so even if they're a little short, it doesn't really matter."

"Ahem, actually, our country's clinical medicine is so advanced that it can help you graft that donkey thing onto your body. If you really get infected, you might want to consider it."

"Pah, you jinx, shut up."

Roland's interruption immediately put the group at a lot less guarded. Of course, they would only be a little more careful in the few days after receiving the news, and after a while, they would go back to doing things the way they were supposed to.

Before the match, there is a short time for the players from both teams to gather together and wait to go on stage. During this time, Roland signals his teammates to retreat in advance and make way for the Tridents to catch up.

"How are you, A-Le? Are you ready to face Shy's Kalista, Lucian, and Quinn?" Taking this opportunity, Roland teased A-Le.

It's the best in the world.

Although he was the former world's number one top laner, TheShy's laning skills are undoubtedly top-notch.

"It's alright. We've played against each other quite a bit before, but I don't know if he'll be stronger or weaker in a match." Mentioning his peripherals, Ah Le's condition today was visibly good.

He must have prepared a lot for today's match in private. Looking back at IG's lineup today, it's quite interesting.

IG fielded almost their strongest lineup available at the moment.

TheShy + Rookie

Xun+ against JKL's special treasure, Blue Brother

There's also Puff, who routinely flops in ranked games (a Korean server player known for his temper, who can make even a nice guy like GimGoon write long posts and make several top-tier players post videos to criticize him).

Well, aside from their AD carry being a bit weak, IG is currently at its strongest in the current meta.

Especially the presence of sapphire blue.

Considering this guy's passive ability to catch Baolan's hook 100% of the time, Roland thought that today's match might be a brand new challenge for him.

Or... should we just continue with the water-selling tactic?

First round of bans:

IG: Camille, Kai'Sa, Hecarim

TES: Alligator, Rieker, Yellow Chicken.

At this point in time, Rookie is still very strong when playing Azir. There are even jokes circulating that IG's trident is Rookie and his three Sand Soldiers. Regardless of the version, it's purely a player-specific strategy, so it should be banned when necessary.

One round of PICK:

IG: Udyr, Gnar, Kalista

TES: Olaf, Twisted Fate, Monkey King

IG's decision to pick Gnar first clearly indicates their intention to continue using the mid and bot lane duo strategy, which, frankly, shows their absolute confidence in their top laner.

If you target the top lane, my other two carries can farm safely.

If you don't target the top lane, I'm confident my top laner can completely dominate you in a solo lane.

To put it bluntly, IG looks down on Ale.

Since that's the case, White Crescent naturally won't hold back against the opponent. There are only a few types of top laners who can counter Gnar: either long-range AD carries, or Irelia and Wukong. If you're really confident, picking Jayce isn't out of the question either. Considering that the last two picks are reserved for the bot lane, and there's a possibility of a mage support, White Crescent picked Wukong, a champion that can initiate team fights, for Ale.

Second round of bans: Aphelios, Xayah, Nautilus, and LeBlanc were all banned.

TES has Samira in their hand.

There aren't many AD carries left on the field. Kalista can be seen as Puff's last stand. By banning three meta carries, IG is clearly determined to concede their advantage.

The last two picks: Syndra and Thresh.

Although Samira has her W skill to block, the cooldown of her level 1 W is a full 30 seconds. Strictly speaking, Samira cannot be called the AD counter to hook-type heroes. On the contrary, Sivir, who is extremely unpopular, can barely be considered one.

There aren't many other major changes. Although Rookie was indeed a champion with a wide champion pool in his early years, after the start of S10, you could clearly feel his energy declining. This might be due to his age, or it could also be influenced by Xiaoyu.

In short, starting from the beginning of Season 10, his champion pool was not as deep as everyone imagined, and now in Season 11, it goes without saying.

This Syndra pick was something that the entire TES team could have predicted.

However, TES's last pick made things a little difficult for White Crescent. Samira is a dive champion, so she needs to be paired with a dive-heavy support like Leona, Nautilus, or Pantheon. But the opponent picked Thresh first, which happens to be a good counter to him.

So... White Crescent once again threw the question back to Roland, giving him a look.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

"No, can we be realistic? You're already making so much money, why are you always eyeing my little bonus?" Seeing his attitude, White Crescent knew perfectly well that this guy wouldn't open his mouth until he saw the rabbit, just waiting for him to jump in.

"You don't understand, I am a believer in the emptiness of all things."

"what?"

"As the saying goes, empty bank cards, empty wallets, empty Alipay, empty WeChat, all together, that's all emptiness. Coach, without money, it's hard for me to do any work for you."

White crescent moon: ......

In the end, for the sake of her bonus, White Crescent reluctantly agreed to share the profits with this bastard.

Of course, the rest of the team were already used to it.

It's called a bonus, but it's really only a few hundred dollars. Those of them who earn millions or even tens of millions a year all have their pride and wouldn't do anything to lose face for such a small amount of money. Only someone like Roland, who was beaten down by society in his previous life, would be so unwilling to let go of any benefit he could fight for.

He actually has a tanky support that can engage, and ideally, one that can solve the problem of JKL getting hit by Q. He's even used one.

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

Bobby Benbi, locked on!

"Oh? Poppy!"

"Aban's move really intimidated IG's entry into the game." Seriously, the commentators love watching this kind of draft.

Putting aside the aesthetic fatigue of repeatedly choosing from a dozen or so heroes, Roland's biggest advantage as a support is that he chooses heroes that counter the team composition, rather than purely based on the current meta, unless those "meta-strong" heroes are really strong, so strong that if someone else picks them, you're guaranteed to lose.

To put it simply, it's about having a big heart.

Even after countless failures, one can still recognize one's own excellence; even after numerous successes, one can still see one's own incompetence. Keep this in mind, work hard silently, and this is the mental fortitude that a player with a strong heart should possess.

It can even be seen in the team voice chat during many S-series finals.

The more crucial the moment, the less significant the coach's role becomes; ultimately, it is the players' individual mentality that changes the course of the battle.

Of course, this hard pick also has a very obvious drawback, which is that TES is very lacking in AP output.

The item build path for this hero is basically locked. No matter how you build it, you can't beat the Frostfire Gauntlet and Zhonya's Hourglass. It's not that he has no damage before six items, but at least before 30 minutes, he's definitely just a tool for providing crowd control.

There are gains and losses.

A non-version lineup means that there will inevitably be one aspect that cannot be addressed.

With this, the lineups for both sides were officially established:

IG: Top lane Gnar, Jungle Udyr, Mid lane Syndra, Bot lane Thresh + Kalista

TES: Top lane Wukong, Jungle Olaf, Mid lane Twisted Fate, Bot lane Samira + Poppy

Summary: Chapter 93: Kung Fu is honed over time.

To be fair, TES's bot lane was very strong in this game.

What makes it so strong? Its strength lies in its ability to consistently stay in a rut from level 1 to level 6. Unless the mid and jungle carry come down to help, it's guaranteed to get a good beating from the opponent.

"Hey, didn't you consider the laning phase when you picked this crap?"
