You actually want me to...

It's like every time you use your W skill, it becomes Karma's enhanced E, with a ridiculously large range.

then.

A monster with healing abilities, a shield, and three major crowd control effects (imprisonment, stun, charm) was born, and it was incredibly fast, starting with the Icathian Storm.

The sight of the incredibly ghoul Seraphine chasing C9 across the entire map left countless viewers, both domestic and international, completely dumbfounded.

[How did they manage to pull off a game with zero points and over ten points, yet manage to create the momentum of a game with over ten points and zero?]

[Here's the thing, they're fast and hard to kill, and when you finally manage to kill one, it turns out the person isn't even worth as much as a siege vehicle. Who can C9 complain to?]

After this match, C9 will probably have to petition Riot Games overnight to improve the tournament and increase the number of bans to eight or ten.

Even ten or eight aren't enough; maybe we should just ban the players altogether.

There was no way around it. No matter how much fun C9 had in the early game, they could only hand over the victory to TES, whose lineup was almost complete at this point.

Of course, everyone within C9 had different mindsets.

Aside from the top laner who was constantly being disciplined, the other laners were in relatively good spirits. Regardless of whether they won or lost the game, at least they had a good time killing.

1:0

With Seraphine's final ultimate ability controlling three opponents, C9 could no longer defend against TES's offensive and was defeated.

"See? I told you my hero's ultimate ability was a killer move! Apologize to me now!!!"

Before the match.

None of the veteran players had high hopes for his performance this game; they all thought the support role was likely to be a disaster. And indeed, the support role has been a disaster, but he's already made a difference!

"Okay, tell me, how do you want to settle this?" Considering that he had really enjoyed the game, JKL, even though he knew this guy was trying to scam him, didn't care and chose to accept the offer.

For a tycoon with a transfer fee of over 2000 million, anything that money can solve is a minor matter.

"Oh, I have reflection scrolls and atonement scrolls here. Let's use these to settle this. Three yuan each, three for ten yuan, minimum of thirty. Which kind do you want?" Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was still on stage and so many cameras were watching, Roland would have already taken out his phone and shown the payment code.

"Good heavens, you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are into priestly stuff? Have you ever seen a priest as filthy as you?"

"You know nothing! Have you ever played Dawn of the Blade? The standard for clergy is being able to swing a warhammer, wield a light cannon, drive an armored vehicle, run five kilometers with a load, and fight a bear in close combat. The reality is that clergy use a hammer to bless the enemy with holy light on the battlefield, swinging the hammer while shouting 'Holy light, bless them!' Now that I've said that, do you already have a picture in your mind?"

"..."

Because Roland's stats in this match were so dismal, even though everyone in the world knew that the culprit was actually TES's support Roland, the only ones scheduled for the interviews were JKL and Ale, whose stats were outstanding.

One Chinese channel, one English channel, and then send the third-best mid laner to the Korean channel, letting Knight use his unique Afghan language to annoy the Korean translator, leaving only Harvey and Roland in the backstage lounge, watching their three miserable teammates running around rushing between events with big smiles on their faces.

"You little rascal, you're going to become an internet sensation again this time."

Looking at the increasingly heated discussions on his phone, White Crescent couldn't help but marvel at the support's ability to stir up trouble.

If we say...

MadLife, the god of support in his early years, taught support players all over the world how to play support cool.

So, Roland's support.

He has pioneered a completely new path for support players, building upon the foundation laid by all previous support players. Emmm, although this path is somewhat demanding on AD carries, that shouldn't be a concern for supports; it's a matter for the team's management.

"What can I do? What kind of bot lane duo do you have? You want me to play a support? What other option do I have but to completely give up?"

When playing games, there are two situations I fear most.

One possibility is that you weren't playing seriously enough, and another is that you didn't set up your defense thoroughly enough.

Regardless of the type, it's generally difficult to make a sound in a match when the hero is countered. But to go to extremes is not something every player can do. At least in terms of being completely neutral, apart from Roland, there is only one other professional support in the entire League of Legends who has this trait: Helissan.

"Alright, you did create a genre after all. Now the higher-ups want you to post something to attract overseas fans and see if you can generate some traffic. You're doing this better than the club's operations, so you can do it yourself."

"Huh? Oh."

To put it bluntly, LPL is actually just a platform for several major brands to set up shop and gain recognition.

Just like those luxury stores in Macau, do you think they lose money opening there? Of course they do.

But do you think we should continue operating if we're losing money?

That's still necessary. For a brand, the biggest fear isn't that the celebrity endorsement fee is too high; what they fear is that one day their brand name will no longer be mentioned by consumers. Therefore, in order to preserve the brand's reputation, major capital firms are frantically investing in things that young people like.

Topsports is no exception.

After thinking about it, Roland realized that he finished the match in the early hours of the morning, and by the time others saw his tweet, it would probably be morning. So... Roland picked up his phone and typed out his version of the support strategy, word by word:

Good morning, support! Support, support spirit! Supports are the best! We need to quietly farm minions and then carry everyone. Have faith in your heart; there are no difficult development paths, only support players who clear wards.

[Signed the signal but still no luck? No problem. Your role is to support the dragon-stealing hero. Relying on others makes you a princess, relying on yourself makes you Japanese, relying on others makes you Taiwanese, relying on others makes you from Henan, relying on yourself is the only glorious support. Poor? That's good, minions are for the AD carry. Squishy? That's good, tanking damage is for the vehicles.]

[Never get a kill yourself, or your teammates will question you. Don't use up all your health potions, because you might not have enough gold to buy wards when you go back to base. Use your abilities on the bushes to scout for vision. We don't compete on internet speed, hardware, mechanics, or game sense; we supports only compete on our teammates.]

[Warp, support! If I ward enough, the AD carry will never get ganked. Mikael's Crucible, support! If my reaction time is fast enough, the AD carry will never get hit by Ashe's ultimate. Ardent Censer, support! If the support has enough item slots, then at the end of the game, the shining light on TGP will be the support's SVP—Roland, the S10 FMVP winner.]

The Battle for Supremacy: Chapter Thirty-Seven: The True Face of the Strong

The very next morning, the microphones from the C9 vs. TES match once again swept across major LOL-related websites and forums in China... Originally, many casual viewers who hadn't watched the match were already quite interested in Banhuang's 0-10 score, thinking, "You old sly fox, you've finally met your match."

Then I clicked on it.

Well, they were just too young after all.

Self-destruct support?

Aside from the fasting jungler that appeared in S7, they haven't seen this kind of playstyle on the field for several years... Moreover, this guy is really cheeky when he plays this hero. Although he doesn't deal any damage, the series of crowd control skills made the C9 members look uncomfortable. Coupled with the extremely annoying words coming out of the hero's microphone, the group was left speechless with laughter.

That's good now.

Other teams play in the World Championship for honor, and the background music accompanying their highlight reels is always incredibly powerful.

Here it is.

He's basically going to the World Championship to perform stand-up comedy. If he had more time, he could probably fit in perfectly with background music from the Spring Festival Gala.

I see it on the toilet every morning without fail, and I always come out of the toilet smiling. My colleagues all think I've finally gotten rid of my constipation.

[Get your day's source of joy!]

To be honest, giving him this game for free is a huge loss for them.

The most outrageous thing was that both sides came out laughing after the match, which completely stunned me.

It must be mentioned that, thanks to the efforts of many editors, this match became a temporary sensation in China. Not only the audience, but even a group of professional players admired it immensely, including Roland himself.

"As expected of me!"

For a professional player, what could be more enjoyable than watching a group of analytical YouTubers dissect their gameplay while praising their genius?

What?

Insidious tactics?

Guo Jia was a genius during the Three Kingdoms period. Even Jia Xu could be called a ruthless strategist. Why should he care about reputation? A bad reputation is better than no reputation at all. In the end, all the praise he received would turn into money in his pocket.

Who would turn down money?

"Hey, you're watching your highlight reel again. Take a break." JKL offered a token word of advice, seeing Roland curled up on the sofa watching the replay obsessively.

"Hey Ah Shui, do you have a membership? I can't watch Blu-ray without a membership."

"No... you're already this wealthy, and you're still reluctant to pay for a membership? Just pay that little bit of money, at least the picture quality will be better. If it's really not good enough, go to other video websites. Anyway, when you signed up for Tencent's membership, you also got memberships to those video websites." Of course, while saying that, JKL still obediently sent his account password to Roland on his phone.

"You're so great, yours is HD, his is 4K, mine is smooth, you've taken me to iQiyi and Tencent, have you ever thought about helping me get VIP? Let me tell you, I don't want to go back, do you know what kind of bullying I get there? Just because I don't have money or VIP, they make me watch an ad for a minute or two. I'm broke! I'm a damn poor person! I'm scared, I'm scared that one day they'll make me watch three minutes of ads. You're so great, getting VIP everywhere! What a lousy place, a lousy place, a lousy place! I'm going to uninstall them step by step, step by step. I want to be a freeloader, I don't want to be bullied anymore, I can't take it anymore. I want to be a freeloader, I want to be the ultimate freeloader, not a single like, not a single coin!"

......

"Do you still want your account?"

"Yes! Thank you, Dad. You're amazing!"

The rest of the people in the training room: ...

Because the MSI schedule is relatively short, on the second day of the competition, TES not only had to play against C9, but also against PGG and MAD. In China, this would mean playing from 10 pm to the next morning, but in Iceland, it would mean playing one match at noon, and then two more matches at 9 pm and 11 pm.

So in reality, they still haven't left the stadium.

PPGG needs no introduction.

Teams that were completely outmatched in the group stage will naturally not change much in the scrimmages.

The key point is the MAD at 11 o'clock.

Right now, the TES players are listening to White Crescent explain MAD's tactics and strategies while trying to rest and eat a moderate amount of food. After all, life is the most important thing, and this isn't S6. They don't need to torture themselves like the Snake team did back then. They just need to control their food intake so they don't feel full.

To put it simply, this is actually a misunderstanding caused by the lack of widespread medical information in the past. Of course, it would be better to let medical students explain the underlying principles, if there are any available posts.

MAD is actually a strong team.

In the original MSI, this team almost upset DK, winning a full BO5 series. If it weren't for the common problem of European teams at that time (getting inexplicably overconfident after winning and starting to mess around, then getting crushed and reverting to their old ways, throwing the game), we might have seen Xu Xiu slumped in a chair and sobbing six months earlier.

Of course, I prefer to call it Xu Xiu being thrown by his own bot laner, Genshin Impact, in that semi-final. I still remember that after this MSI, there was even a famous scene of "Ghost Emperor solo killing the world's number one Ula" (laughs).

Let's return to MAD, the Lions of Madrid.

Armut, the top laner, has a passive ability that allows him to accurately spot cameras and strike his signature pose at any time, place, and angle. He's a European master of antics and is considered one of Roland's biggest rivals in this MSI. His skill level is quite good in Europe, but in the LPL... he's probably only above average. The main reason is that LPL top laners have been too inconsistent in recent years, so his skill level is really not up to par.

Elyoya, the jungler with a 5% win rate in the LEC playoffs, has a very inspiring career. He has a big heart and dared to pick Pantheon, a champion he hadn't played in the entire season, in the final game of a best-of-five series, despite the pressure from the whole world. Although he lost, his creative ideas are the core factor that has enabled him to maintain his strength and continue to compete.

Regarding mid laner Humanoid, we can quote the legendary meme master and CJB tester, Perkz, to evaluate the mid lane in S11. Back in the S11 World Championship, the great Perkz said: "Showmaker and Scout were the strongest in S11, followed by Doinb and Humanoid. The strongest mid laner in the LPL was Knight, but he didn't make it to Worlds. After Knight, it's Doinb and Scout."

In conclusion, it can be seen that Humanoid is not weak; at least he is a mid-lane player who can appear in Ap's field of vision and is ranked in the second tier.

As for the bot lane duo Carzzy and Kaiser, their skill level is average, and they tend to be more about gimmicks. The AD carry is practically a second-generation Perkz, and his popularity in Europe is said to be second only to Perkz. He is the king of scrims in the new era and once said, "As long as we can perform at the level of scrims, we can beat RNG." He is a player who didn't put his skill points into technique but instead focused on gimmicks.

In the original World Championship Season 11 MSI, they completely dominated DK's bot lane.

Part of it was his fault, but the majority of it was because the best sixth man, Genshin Impact, acted too much, and it didn't have much to do with him.

Looking at it from an overall perspective...

MAD can be considered a budget version of RNG. You could say they're strong, since they almost upset DK in S11; but you could also say they're just average. Judging from the LEC playoffs, if RGE hadn't made even more mistakes, they might not have made it to MSI.

How to determine the strength of a team.

Isn't that obvious? Back in the MSI tournament, the first-place team could choose the third or fourth-place team as their opponent. DK picked MAD without even flinching. In the end, they almost lost because Genshin Impact's teammate threw the game. The truth is, they didn't choose the weakest opponent but the stronger one. Is this some kind of web novel?

PSG's Maple is so bad, yet they don't even pick up DK, a team that's ranked in the bottom three in the LPL.

This gives you an idea of ​​the overall strength of the MAD team.
