You actually want me to...

Whether it's AD charging in or Camille flanking, what TES really needs to do is completely disrupt the opponent's already set-up formation, and then... use the double poke system to frantically fish in the chaotic battle!

Watching the unruly Zoe, the Dragon Girl, stealing damage everywhere on the screen, the LPL coaches watching the match almost collectively fell silent.

ruthless.

It's too cruel.

From the start of this match until now, TES has almost perfectly demonstrated what it means to use the "attention diversion technique." Even though the team's core damage dealers are Shyvana and Zoe, who both have poke damage, they have managed to use all sorts of strange and unusual maneuvers to successfully shift the opponent's attention from their carry to other less important positions.

This mindset even permeated TES's entire year of competition.

"Good heavens... I've realized that we didn't lose to White Crescent's strategy, we lost to his wild ideas!" The coach, whether his name was searchable on Baidu or not, was getting angry as he vigorously rubbed the notebook in his hand.

You know, sometimes the difference between people is even greater than that between a person and a dog.

"Is it possible... I mean, is this their idea of ​​assistance?"

"It's not impossible, but wouldn't that be even more tragic? It's one thing to be less skilled than others, but to have worse luck in gacha pulls is another. I remember Banhuang was a freebie when he joined the LPL, right? Did he just randomly pull an SSR from the friend pool?"

"Be confident, UR!"

Looking at the group of envious and jealous colleagues in the WeChat group, Redmi could only smile helplessly.

This is a matter of the mind determining one's thoughts.

It's like two people are both eighteen years old. Some people lead an uprising when they are eighteen, while others install something without regard for the risks. Although both have their own courage, the latter is completely doomed to fail once exposed.

One for three

With the huge margin for error due to the resurrection effect, even AD carries who initiated team fights were able to successfully use their E skill to create a safe distance after resurrecting, and then join the pursuit.

One mistake leads to another.

After TES gained a huge economic advantage, the power of the double poke system was greatly amplified once again. This time, PSG could no longer withstand the onslaught of firepower from TES.

Either you smash someone's head against the wall and they're gone.

Or spray salt water on everyone's faces.

24 minutes... they couldn't even hold out for the fourth elemental dragon, under TES's infinite dragon synergy system.

TES won the match 1-0.

Victory in the first round of the competition!

The Battle for Supremacy: Chapter 52: For the Dignity of Men

The next day, while TES's hero microphone was being broadcast all over the internet again, in their hotel room in Iceland, a group of TES players were unusually gathered together instead of playing ranked games. Instead, they were arguing heatedly, their faces flushed.

"What's wrong with men liking cavalry? Galloping horses are the romance of men!" Emperor Ha slammed his hand on the table and stood up, shouting at Knight.

"You're talking nonsense! A man's romance is an armored caravan! What's cavalry compared to that? And you, Ah Le?"

"Me? I definitely prefer infantry, the truth is always blunt! Ah Shui has experience with this, Ah Shui, you tell me."

"Me? As for me... I personally prefer foreign cavalry, like cuirassiers, hussars, dragoons, winged hussars, black cavalry, whirling cavalry, and the like, which may be different from yours."

"???"

When the discussion subtly touches upon the realm of "art," even uttering professional terms and entering into each person's unique personal domain, people become so serious in the name of dignity.

Of course, in the end, everyone would seamlessly switch between USB drives in their left hand, hard drives in their right hand, and Baidu Netdisk in their third hand. Everyone would work together to grow and improve through communication. White Crescent and others had long been used to it, after all, the pressure of the competition was immense.

If we don't give the contestants some outrageous activities, shouldn't we at least let them relax and unwind during these brief few tens of minutes of sharing? And maybe occasionally Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, joining the glorious army of sharers.

only…

Did they overlook someone from a certain profession during their discussion?

Where is Ah Ban?

Where did Aban go?

When the group finally came to their senses and turned around, they saw Roland reclining on the sofa, looking serious and deep in thought.

"Hey, what are you doing? Aren't you going to join in and offer your opinion in your area of ​​expertise?"

"I understand the logic, but I'm in really good form right now. I'm sure it'll be another bloodbath when it's my turn to play. You guys wait a bit longer."

"No, what are you playing?"

"I suggest you don't try to understand it. Just know that Gouka Pegasus is enough."

"???"

Card games, like Three Kingdoms Kill, have truly broken into the mainstream. But even so, this game isn't something free-to-play players can just casually enjoy. Season 11 was alright, but if it comes to Season 12... well, you'll understand why people are so eager to play, why they're willing to play, why they're the best choice, why they feel obligated to play, why they're so determined to play, and why they can't stop playing.

What do you mean I'm a kind-hearted person who can't bear to see you suffer? I'll send you on your way right now—Iron Chains, Wine, Ancient Sword, Thunder Strike, Breaking Army, Peerless, Take the Head of Ten Thousand Armies, and so on.

Those who know, know. [doge emoji]

After a bit of playful fighting, the group finally calmed down in the wide, dead fish eyes of the white crescent moon. Of course, the next part of the time was for tactical planning.

it's actually really easy.

This is the so-called "guarantee two and give up one" strategy.

The rules of the tournament are that the top four teams in the standings advance to the semifinals. Then, the first and second ranked teams cannot choose each other. The first ranked team chooses either the third or fourth ranked team first, and the remaining team plays against the second ranked team.

It seems that being ranked first is quite advantageous.

In reality, it won't have a significant impact on LCK or LPL whether the team ranks third or fourth. So the remaining question is whether or not they need to compete for first place.

The white crescent moon's answer to this was: Let.

Regardless of which team advances, the team ranked first will undoubtedly receive the most attention and buzz worldwide at that moment, seemingly enjoying immense prestige. However, behind this glory, tens of thousands of analytical bloggers are constantly scrutinizing and studying your tactical deployments. As a strong team, perhaps you shouldn't have to worry about various doubts.

However, in order to achieve ultimate victory, temporary concessions are actually understandable.

To inflate someone's ego, first make them go mad.

LPL is well-versed in military strategy and tactics... As a result, in the second round of the competition, TES not only fell behind when facing DK for the second time and lost a game, but also made a mistake in the final battle for the championship in overtime.

Two losses directly propelled DK to godlike status.

In contrast to the overwhelming praise and acclaim for DK on foreign websites, the domestic response was unsurprisingly filled with criticism.

Of course... in the TES rest room, Roland and the others were completely stunned. As they stepped off the stage and down to a spot where no video recording was being done, bursts of laughter began to emanate from several people.

"Holy crap, did you just see that? I just used Blink to catch Genshin Impact's hook."

"Tch, your Flash hook was so unnatural. You've been partners with Ah Shui for so long, and it was my Flash into the wall that was nice. I deliberately calculated the position."

"That one was even more fake, running into a wall from that far away, do you think people are blind?"

“I’m still doing alright. Look at Ale, he’s Jayce and he got solo killed by Sion. They’re practically letting him get away with it.”

As a new generation team after the first year, TES has not fully inherited the essence of their predecessors Oscar's professional style during S5. Several of their plays seemed a bit deliberate, but... outsiders don't know that.

Those who know the nature of the TES team are all from the Strategic Deception Bureau, and they would have already been on the battlefield and started working by now.

Those unaware of these people's nature took it all seriously and began praising DK to the skies.

Overnight.

Various vlog videos and highlight reels of the DK team flooded the internet, with even a hint of encouragement from the TES official club behind the scenes, revealing their sinister intentions.

"The results were pretty good...they really took it seriously."

"Huh? Coach, didn't you say this move might not be able to fool Koma?" Hearing White Crescent's words, Roland and the others looked up at their coach in surprise.

"You can't fool Kkoma, but you can fool the owners and players at DK. It's such a small place, how much say can the coach have? You can't reason with a damn fool. He's probably not happy right now."

"Oh, this."

In fact, it does.

Two consecutive resounding victories instantly caused an uproar in the LCK region.

Given the South Koreans' fragile sense of pride, these two wins against TES are probably like a holiday to them. They're too busy being happy to think about anything else.

"However, I am somewhat surprised that you were able to hold back."

"I can't help but feel helpless. I need to save my energy so I can go home and get some proper nutrition." Roland said, feeling particularly helpless. During their time in Iceland, they had been eating lamb, seafood, and yogurt every day, and they were sick of it.

Especially as a Cantonese.

If you let Roland eat without vegetables, he can manage if there are too few; but if there are too many, he'll feel nauseous just looking at dinner.

"So what do you mean?"

"Hey, stop talking... As the saying goes, 'When the fires rage for three months, even home-grown vegetables are worth a fortune!'"

"???"

The Chase: Chapter 53: Every Year When the Peach Blossoms Bloom

After two rounds of competition, the final rankings were determined by the four teams from the original world: DK in first place, TES in second, and PSG and MAD in third and fourth. Overnight, almost the entire LOL community became DK fans, and some even suggested that Khan was a contender for the title of the world's best top laner.

This is the influence of being first in the group.

Extreme brilliance and... an unavoidable attraction.

As an Avenger, DK already possesses a certain legendary aura. Coupled with the extremely entertaining top, mid, and support generals, DK's experience seems to have a legendary quality at this moment.

Then... they continued to predictably choose the weakest team, MAD, as their opponent, leaving PSG to TES.

"So, this so-called legendary team just shamelessly chose MAD?"

Looking at DK's choice, White Crescent's current state can be described as "subway, old man, mobile phone," which perfectly describes his situation. He thought that with all this hype, this guy would at least get a PSG to test the waters, but he was wrong.

"It's normal, but it's not without effect. I heard a few days ago that someone saw Genshin Impact bro doing gacha pulls again."

"Sure, I hope Genshin Impact can have a crazy moment during the finals, what do you say, A-Boy?" JKL said, then turned to look at his support player who was lying on the sofa playing on his phone. This guy has probably been watching too many replays lately, and his reactions have become a beat slower when he's not watching them.

Roland raised his head and thought for a moment, feeling that White Crescent's approach was still a bit too gentle. After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, this is only possible in Iceland. If this were in China, I would have to sign them up for something like 'Boys and Girls Go Forward,' 'If You Are the One,' or 'Boxing Championship.' There are many ways to kill someone. Social death and flattery are not bad, but physical death is the fastest."

The rest of TES: !!

Having identified their semifinal opponent, TES has developed corresponding countermeasures.

PSG, well, they're the younger team.

During the competition, we beat them 1-0 twice in two rounds, but the 4V Yin Yang Ren (a derogatory term for someone who is sarcastic or unhelpful) was still spouting nonsense on the forums, saying that BO1 and BO5 are two different things. Well, there's nothing we can do but continue to make things clear for them. Don't be surprised why PSG and the Taiwan region can be so arrogant. You should know that in the previous MSI, they even had the absurd incident of eavesdropping on RNG's draft picks, which was exposed on the spot by Tiger General.
