You actually want me to...

Unexpectedly!

This is my team-building strategy, you bastard!

Seeing the oblivious figure on the other side who kept getting closer, the PSG team had almost anticipated the success of this Gnar flanking maneuver.

嗏

Why do they feel like the main force on the other side is getting closer and closer to them?

Dame~

No, my top laner is coming back soon, don't do this...

Da me, da me yo!

The Battle for Supremacy: Chapter Fifty-Nine: "The Five Virtues"

"Holy crap, these young people! Oh wait, I mean, these bunch of slackers."

"You might as well not have corrected it."

Faced with Guan Ge's subconscious吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or complain), Ji De helplessly added, "But it's true, anyone would be at a loss when they see five crazy dogs like TES who charge forward mindlessly in team fights."

Especially when there's a clueless guy in the neighboring jungle still struggling to flank, the imagery becomes even more vivid.

Let's take a bath inside a shell!

With artillery fire raining down from the sky, PSG's escape route was completely blocked by the Captain's ultimate ability.

Witness the power of the Shadow Isles!

Shadow Strike: Countless phantoms surge alongside the centaurs, unleashing a massive area-of-effect (AOE) control attack.

The two players, Tristana and Sett, were pushing forward in perfect unison, but JKL unusually refrained from using his [Rocket Jump] immediately. It wasn't because he'd changed his ways, but because he needed to use his mobility skill where he could secure kills.

As for Zoe at the end?

She's frantically picking up trash (Summoner Spells), using whatever she finds. This hero is purely good at taking advantage of chaos in team fights; whether she gets kills or not is entirely up to fate, otherwise she wouldn't be called "A Girl".

From a professional perspective, TES's head-on engagement wasn't particularly well-executed, but they couldn't overcome the enemy's numerical superiority. If this were a scene from the Three Kingdoms period, the line would be: "The enemy formation is broken, follow me and kill!"

Under TES's onslaught, PSG's formation was instantly thrown into disarray.

PSG's top laner is probably the most frustrated.

Although he and his teammates were only separated by a wall, it was as if they were separated by a galaxy and could not be crossed. At this moment, the canyon was a walled city. Gnar inside wanted to get out, and the other four members of PSG outside wanted to get in. The isolation conditions were set to the maximum.

A 0-for-3 exchange plus the Rift Herald allowed several carry players to snowball their economy. Since it was a team fight with more players than others, TES didn't suffer any significant damage. In a team fight, it's extremely rare for a smaller team to win against a larger one. Shows like Crows Zero, where a smaller team fights against a larger one, are more of a fantasy anime than a fighting anime. A normal person would have been defeated long ago.

"See, I told you it was simple. We were overcomplicating it."

Seriously, as long as we win.

You can boast about your achievement however you want. Even though this was just a lucky break, there's no denying that they actually won.

"While that's true, it feels like winning like this is too monotonous." JKL pondered for a while, feeling that the difference in strength between the two teams was too great, and it even felt like they weren't playing in the semifinals.

This is where MSI's limitations lie.

In terms of competition scale, aside from the Asian Games, which is beyond the realm of the three realms and outside the five elements, only the World Championship can rival the MSI, because each team in the MSI represents an entire region.

That's precisely why the MSI is far less competitive than the World Championship.

In previous MSIs, except for one year when G2 won the championship, it was almost always a battle between the Chinese and Korean regions. Other teams would be lucky to even make it to the semifinals, let alone the finals. This was not a problem with their players, but rather with their respective regions.

To reiterate.

Every professional player who makes it to the World Championship is a chosen one from their respective region. If you think about it another way, a player like Perkz who can dominate and stomp on weaker teams in the LEC and still manage to pull off upsets against strong teams at the World Championship, occasionally even showing off a few impressive plays, what if that kind of talented player came from the LPL or LCK region?

In the LPL and LCK, players genuinely treat gaming like a job, playing with a 007 work schedule—at least 12 hours a day, seven days a week, I'm not kidding. These days, it's easy to find daily videos and vlogs from youth training clubs. You don't even need to watch the LPL; just look at how their youth training programs are, and you'll get a glimpse into just how terrifying the training volume of real professional players is.

What are the shortcomings of other regions?

They are strong enough opponents in the competition area, they have a promotion and relegation system that the competition area increasingly needs, and they have a sense of hard work and diligence that should be cultivated from the bottom of their hearts.

These ones.

This is the key factor that truly sets LPL and LCK apart from other regions.

"Simple? Indeed, I should have changed the script. Add some suspense, supernatural and adult elements, make the plot more dramatic and full of twists and turns, combine it with the currently popular time-travel plot, and add some fatalism. That kind of team battle would be more attractive."

"???"

The rest of the script is quite simple.

Two vanguards break through the outer towers, the main force presses in to fight a vision war, and then Zoe uses her hypnotic bubble to ambush people in various ways.

Knight, huh?

Characters with small arms and legs like this are perfect for playing scumbag heroes who like to sleep with people.

Moreover, based on real-world cases where the data is completely unreliable, in general, the skinny, weak men are mostly one, while the muscular men who have built up a physique in the gym are generally zero.

Looking at it this way, Knight actually seems surprisingly well-suited to playing Zoe?

As TES's unstoppable operational rhythm unfolded, PSG gradually couldn't withstand TES's offensive and ultimately lost a game.

1 is better than 0

TES took the lead in the best-of-five series.

[TES secures their first classic victory in Wuhu.]

Based on TES's three fundamental principles, I'm blindly predicting another 3-1 victory today.

While the fake fans were still calculating the outcome of the match, the real veteran fans had already wisely turned off the live stream and were ready to skip the second match.

In my experience, the second game will definitely be a friendly match where the bot lane duo feeds the most.

Just like a certain ball sport, TES inexplicably inherited its excellent tradition of giving a one-goal handicap.

Of course, whether this is true or not, no one knows for sure.

In most of TES's BO5 matches, Roland and JKL almost always seem to have a recurring lapse in judgment, resulting in a loss for the team with all sorts of bizarre plays.

That is indeed the case.

In the second match, Roland once again showed the world what textbook-perfect feeding looks like.

The Pyke player's incredible water-based plays and numerous amazing engages with Flash left many viewers speechless. But... not only were PSG unable to react to his engages, but even the TES players themselves couldn't keep up.

In that instant, countless people immediately recalled this guy's most famous "Five Virtues" in the Chinese server.

Diligent: refers to always getting up early at the end of the month to start live streaming and play games for extended periods.

Forgiveness: Offer a warm greeting to teammates who let you down, mainly showing concern for their families.

Humility: No matter what kind of hero they are, they all say they have a special skill and can definitely carry, but then they end up making a complete mess of things.

Communication: Ten-finger legato plus Beethoven concertos

Brave: He initiates team fights when his teammates can't, and he steps in when his teammates are too afraid to engage. There's nothing he can't do, only things he hasn't thought of.

The Battle for Supremacy: Chapter Sixty: The European Revenge Theory

"No, can you explain what you did?"

As soon as the second match ended, White Crescent was already waiting for his group of rascals to return from the sidelines, his face covered in soot. As for the others, although they did play a bit recklessly in this match under Roland's influence, it wasn't outrageous.

Only this kid.

Is this how you organize group buys for others?

"But coach... I did successfully initiate the team fight."

"Where are your teammates?"

"I do not know!"

"..."

Looking at this big jerk who was actively admitting his mistakes but refused to repent, even White Crescent, who had been with him for over a year, had to take a moment to calm herself down.

Losing one game isn't a big deal.

But this loss was so inexplicable and comical that it made people laugh at us.

"Alright, alright, it's just a game win. But to be honest, PSG's strength is really lacking. Even Ah Ban was feeding like that, and the other side almost couldn't win a team fight. Taiwan has declined." Recalling the Flash Wolves of the past and looking at PSG now, the group felt that there was a reason why the LMS region was disbanded.

Your strength is even less than that of Vietnamese bandits.

In the next two games, TES, having already relaxed in one game and regained their focus, easily defeated PSG as if cutting melons and vegetables. It's not that they didn't want to make things more dramatic, but PSG is just that bad in real life.

Maple is someone who gets completely dominated by most mid laners in the LPL.

If even the team's most crucial mid laner is this bad, how strong can this team be overall? Since Season 3, teams with weak mid laners have always been the targets of bullying and beatings, and this has never changed in the past seven or eight years.

TES won the MSI semifinals 3-1 and became the first team to advance to the finals!

【666666. Congratulations to TES!】

Although they didn't get first place in their group during the scrimmage, I still have a feeling these guys are hiding something.

[Don't hide it anymore. Every year during the dark period, people said LPL teams were hiding something, only to find out in the end that what they were hiding all along was their ticket back home.]

However, in both rounds of the match against DK, they gave Banhuang enchanter supports.

A Buddy and a cat.

While the other team members played less unconventional games, these weren't exactly their strengths either. Regular viewers could sense that TES seemed to be holding back in some areas, while those who didn't watch often remained pessimistic about TES's performance.

Of course, all of this is because DK is also hiding something.

Khan, known for his aggressive playstyle, is still picking tanky champions in the top lane to play passively. This playstyle looks extremely wrong at first glance. In China, it would be like throwing TheShy in the top lane to act as a substitute for GimGoon to withstand pressure.

Moreover, the jungler DK is no pushover either.

Although the current version is no longer the jungle carry version, some people... have a champion pool that can be used even against the current meta.

"So, who's the unlucky one today? The Sailors? Or Harbin Pharmaceutical Group's No. 6 Water?" After putting down his peripherals, Roland's eyes involuntarily turned to his teammates and coach around him.

"I've got it, it's your turn today."

"No? I've already given them all away, and there's still a portion for me?"
