You actually want me to...

This is good for the players, but it also has its downsides.

The consequence of high income is that many naive children think they can make a lot of money by playing professionally, which leads some children who are not particularly talented to blindly follow the trend, neglect their studies, and cause their lives to go astray. (Although I have mentioned this before, I still have to praise the youth training camps of various clubs. They are simply amazing.)

Fortunately, TES's goal this year is to win the championship. The money spent to buy players is not just for creating a persona. They are accepting players that they really couldn't refuse. But even so, the TES team is exhausted.

The main reason is that due to the natural disaster, it was impossible to go to Riot Games' professional studio to do the work. Instead, someone else had to come to the club to edit the footage bit by bit, which wasted too much time and energy.

"I'm so tired, Big Head. Why did you have to deal with so much nonsense when you joined the team?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. This is called popularity, you know?"

"Whether you're popular or not, I feel like you're almost a human wrench. Everyone online, male or female, is calling you 'Mommy loves you.' You have way too many male and female 'Mommys'."

"Those... never mind."

There's not much to say. JKL himself is somewhat helpless about these fans. On one hand, it's the invasion of fan culture, and he's not controlled by anything. On the other hand, a small portion of them directly compare him to Uzbekistan, which is just asking for trouble.

Although every AD carry wants to prove themselves against Uzi, to be fair, JKL has never really gained an advantage when facing Uzi. On the contrary, he has been taught a lesson by various forehand and backhand attacks. At best, he is now just a defeated opponent.

Seeing that he was too lazy to talk about it, Roland simply stopped asking.

With JackeyLove joining the team, TES has been scheduling more and more scrimmages lately, mainly to cultivate team synergy. Meanwhile, White Crescent has also started having the players train and expand their champion pools in preparation for the end of the season.

That's how coaches are; training players is like playing a simulation game.

The initial star rating can represent a player's potential, the number of matches can be understood as the experience gained, the card categories can be divided according to the playstyle, and the final exaggerated hero pool is the skill of the derived cards.

TES is undoubtedly dealt a very strong hand right now. In the entire LPL, the only other team that can hold such a strong hand that many coaches are trying to coach is IG, the Incheon champions of S8.

"Alright, you've all worked hard these past few days, but there's another match tomorrow. I'll arrange some time for you guys to catch your breath after tomorrow's match." White Crescent called the players over and began to adjust the team's condition.

The early matches of the Spring Split weren't that crucial; losing a few games tactically in the early stages was perfectly acceptable. But things are different now. Firstly, TES just finished a three-game losing streak, and their record isn't good. Secondly, with the addition of JackeyLove, the team desperately needs a winning start to boost fan confidence.

Even casual fans who came because of Ah Shui are one of the fan groups that TES is trying to win over this time, so it is very necessary to win the next game.

"We're feeling really weak, Coach. How about we have an extra meal today to give everyone some energy?"

"The kitchen is already under construction, and I know exactly what you're thinking."

"Actually, you don't need to. 369, just go to the neighboring Korea and drink a sip of Han River water, and I guarantee you'll be full of energy and can watch 30 movies in one night without skipping any episodes."

"???"

"In my life, I, Roland, admire four types of people: those who don't fast-forward through movies, those who have no desire to watch movies, those who are still not finished even after watching, and those who can finish watching after they're done. These four types of people represent the four most precious virtues of mankind: steadfastness, integrity, perseverance, and tenacity. I think you look quite steadfast."

. . . . . .

Faced with this guy's teasing, 369 decisively chose to play dead. With his personality, he really couldn't outplay these people who had nothing better to do than hang out on Zhihu and Tieba.

Huh? You're asking why there's no WB?

Please, who in their right mind would watch that stuff? Even WB dogs don't play with it.

After the usual banter, the group turned their attention back to the small blackboard, where a small lion team icon stood out prominently in the center.

SN, a truly remarkable team, a former world runner-up in S10. Let me briefly discuss the remarkable aspects of this team and analyze its essence for everyone.

First: It lacks popularity. In the early stages of S10, apart from Sofm, the rest of the team were basically unpopular. You wouldn't even know their names unless you searched them on Baidu.

Second: It has no rivals. Historically, the teams that make it to the finals of the World Championship are the most popular teams, and these popular teams are also the ones that annoy others. The core of esports discourse and fandom is basically the same: popularity equals "rivals." Take EDG as an example: the more years EDG wins, the more rivals they accumulate. They are constantly in the quarterfinals and get criticized every year. This is another example.

SN is quite special. Despite lacking popularity and rivals, they still possessed the strength to defeat several popular teams in succession.

But did anyone try to stir up trouble for them before the S10 World Championship? No.

Because SN has become a tool team in the eyes of fans of other teams. Unless you win the championship, you just need to carry the other "five grandsons" off the field. As long as you carry them off the field, you will be considered to have done a good job. Not only will they not criticize you, but they will also praise you occasionally.

In short, nobody likes SN, nobody criticizes SN, nobody cares about SN. In fact, even a significant portion of LPL viewers only remembered the SN players' IDs and matched their faces during the playoffs or even the quarterfinals.

While skill certainly matters in esports, it doesn't guarantee that everything said is true. That's the reality of the esports world.

Let's set aside the team and look back at the individual.

First, I must mention Coach Chashao. He is a highly capable coach who considers the players' actual situation. His draft picks are generally among the top three of current LPL coaches, ensuring that the opponent is neither too comfortable nor too disadvantageous for himself.

On this basis, he also maintains 100% trust in the players. When he was with Flash Wolves, he said: If a player feels confident in picking a certain hero in a game, then let him pick it. It's impossible to force a player to pick a hero when he's clearly not playing well. He is definitely the kind of coach that players love.

Then there's top laner Bin, one of the biggest surprises of S10. He's known for his daring, flashy, and skillful play, yet he remains rational. If we consider TheShy, the top laner with the highest individual skill, as Berserker, then Bin is Berserker who has retained his rationality.

Sofm, the jungler, has always maintained a strong personal style since his debut. When the meta is in, he is invincible; when the meta is out, he plays all sorts of tricks. His goal is to turn "I am Vietnamese" into "Vietnam is mine". To this day, we still don't know exactly how many sets of "Tang Cheng Yi Pin" he owns.

Angel, the mid-laner, was another major surprise of S10. His template can be directly compared to Faker, who lost his personal dominance, or Cool, who had to go home and inherit billions of dollars after failing in his professional career. He maintains a high degree of humility both online and offline, like the prince of Walnut Tree.

Support Snake, a survivor of the Wandering Wolf Project, Karsa's old teammate, the brain and commander of team fights, with clear thinking and rich experience as a male mother, is a player who can bring about a qualitative change to the team as soon as he is bought.

Finally, there's SN's bot laner, Huanfeng.

Before the end of S10, he once had the opportunity to become the AD to replace JKL in position and fame, but since Snake left, the boy by the sea has become the boy with the whip, and his fame has plummeted.

The evaluation of him is quite unique; he certainly has the ability.

Before the S10 finals, the entire LPL thought he was the next successor to the AD carry position. But after that best-of-four final, no one thought that way anymore, because his performance was absolutely disastrous.

There are too many memorable moments to recount, but one thing is certain: he single-handedly shattered the image that LPL's bot lane always had the upper hand during the laning phase, an image that LPL had cultivated for so many years. He was truly amazing.

As for the subsequent events, such as what he did before the quarterfinals, I once thought he was a fan of a certain plagiarized TV drama editor, otherwise he wouldn't have done something so fitting to the plot. In short, I suggest he kowtow to the whole team.

Upon seeing the icon, Roland remained silent for a moment, then tugged at Shui Zi's sleeve, drawing a puzzled look from Shui Zi.

"Do me a favor."

"explain?"

"A late-night snack, and tomorrow you'd better crush the enemy AD carry. I have a little problem with him."

"Two meals a day, not one less."

"make a deal!"

PY: "I, the Evil God Streamer, Spoilers Across Dimensions"

Synopsis: Streamer Luo Song spends his days aimlessly, with no ambition whatsoever in the current environment of spiritual energy revival, until a woman named Talulah enters his livestream...

Talulah: "Want to know when Alina's accident happened? Do I need to be your maid?"

Frostnova: "So this is how I'm going to die in the future? This bunny girl outfit is a bit tight."

Joan of Arc: "My Holy Grail War cannot be a rigged war!"

El-Melloi II: "I know the future, I'm going to World War V now."

Misaki Shokuhou: "This timeline is wrong, isn't it? I'm really just a middle school student, you can't attack me!"

Kelly: "Do you want to upgrade your equipment?"

Luo Song said, "I'm really just an employee. It's none of my business if you dress up as maids or bunny girls!"

Live stream chat: "My lord, I'm the one who's just working..."

Luo Song: ...The evil god is actually myself?

First Encounter: Chapter Sixty-Two: The Son of the Tower

The following day, when the match between the two teams began, the live broadcast room received an unprecedented influx of viewers. It's worth noting that this was Ah Shui's first match after joining the new team, and many media outlets and viewers were eager to see the results.

【Here it comes! Here it comes!】

[I heard TES has been really strong in scrims lately, come check it out.]

[Having not played a match for three or four months, Ah Shui will probably need some time to adjust. I reckon he'll play more steadily today, maybe... tanking the tower two or three times.]

[You've narrowed your perspective; you're looking down on me, the "Son of the Tower," by not supporting me the entire time.]

Are you kidding me?

It's somewhat possible to tell other AD carries to play it safe and be more cautious, but this guy and UZI are the only ones who don't seem to have the concept of being cautious. Plus, the support isn't Lan Ge anymore, it's Lan Ge now. So, the bot lane is going to fight from level 1 to level 18.

"What's the strategy for this round? Top or bottom?"

"Of course we'll focus on that, giving Ah Shui some room to perform. It's the first game, after all. 369 rolling a 666 should be able to handle the pressure, right?"

"999 is no problem. Today I am the Son of the Tower. How about we combine directly?"

"Okay, then we'll just sit back and wait for the mid laner to carry."

Left hand: ? ? ?

With the bench players being strengthened and the overall skill level of the team members rising, everyone on TES is now full of confidence. Even Knight, who used to be the most introverted, has become more active lately, undoubtedly relieving a lot of pressure.

Another advantage of JKL is this.

He can draw most of the attention to himself. After all, he is an AD carry who has won the S-series championship. If you win with him, it's because you're the one who shines; if you lose, it's because he takes the blame. He's always the one to shoulder the responsibility, hence the nickname "scapegoat."

The current TES team has gathered a series of buffs, including veterans, rookies, scapegoats, atmosphere-makers, and avengers, basically covering all aspects of the league.

Seeing that the team members were in good spirits, White Crescent shifted his attention to the draft phase of the game. His opponent this time was Chashao, who was an old acquaintance.

First round of bans:

SN: Spider, GimGoon, Olaf

TES: Luna, Renekton, Sejuani

There are basically no changes. In the current meta, these are the ones that will likely be banned even if you have to be blind. There are no surprises.

One round of PICK:

SN: For Russo, Tahm Kench, Lee Sin

TES: Miss Fortune, Leona, Jarvan IV

Judging from the first round of picks, SN made a good grasp of JackeyLove's Q-following ability. Both heroes are those who use Q skills to deal damage in the early game. However, due to their fear of JackeyLove's individual skill, the support did not choose the currently popular heroes like Nautilus and Leona, but instead picked Tahm Kench.

It can only be said that SN was protected too well by the snake mother.

Second round of bans: Zoe, Mordekaiser, Aatrox, and Kassadin were all eliminated. I should mention Zoe here. LeftHand (a player) naturally practices Zoe, but his Zoe is extremely strange. Either he's incredibly impactful and dominates the entire game, or he's so bad he just disappears, leaving him with only two choices: godlike or utterly useless.

As for Kassadin... well, Xiye, come out and take your beating.

Second round of PICK:
