You actually want me to...

Where do all these inspirational platitudes come from? Let's get straight to the point: work hard and you'll make a good living; if you don't work hard, just pack your bags and get ready to leave. As for the idea that at worst you can go back to your hometown or the countryside, Roland has always scoffed at it.

When you have money, the countryside is a pure land; when you don't have money, the countryside is just dirt.

This is realism.

Seeing that Dahuang had fallen silent, Roland naturally knew that there should be limits to communication.

"Actually, all the hard work is the same, but everyone has their own way of relieving stress. For me, you can see that I often play other games during my free time when I'm not streaming. You can try it too. Horror games are the most effective."

"Huh? But I can't play horror games."

"It's okay. Once it's on PC, you can decide what the female lead and the ghost wear. But if you play too much, your body will give out before your mind can."

"???"

"Of course, if you don't care about your reputation, there are actually many different ways to play even League of Legends."

"what?"

"I heard you bought almost all the emotes recently, right? You can do this." With that, Roland demonstrated the new skill to Da Huang step by step. Of course, even he himself rarely used this move, because his ID was already taunting enough. If he added this, he wouldn't need to play ranked games anymore; he could just wait for the enemy to tower dive. "Remember, this is the ultimate technique I've researched for many years. After you use it, if you still respect me as your master, don't tell anyone else that I taught you."

Sedimentation: Chapter Thirty-Five: Talent Must Be Developed!

Ever since Roland had his heart-to-heart talk with Da Huang that day, the rest of TES noticed something very strange. Of course, the casual players in high-level ranked games also noticed it: for no apparent reason, a crazy person with exaggerated expressions suddenly appeared in the ranked games.

From initially spamming taunting emotes repeatedly, to later experimenting with different rhythms for sending emotes, and then choosing the most opportune moment to send emotes to taunt the opponent, this increasingly skillful action and progress has disgusted a large number of high-level players in the Chinese server.

in particular...

If you're typing insults, a complaint or report can usually help, and you might even get a usable piece of information (0/5).

But how do you ban emoticons?

Seeing their team's new top laner increasingly taking a path no one had ever walked before, and even his laughter gradually becoming inhuman, JKL and his group turned their heads with numb eyes, then stared intently at Roland in front of them, looking at him with an expression that said, "Let's see how you explain this."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm a law-abiding citizen."

"A law-abiding citizen? Is this all the law-abiding citizen you taught Dahuang?"

"Isn't this teaching according to aptitude?"

Compared to the youthful vigor of the previous top laner, Ah Le, Da Huang, who is no longer young, is clearly not suited for the path of a mechanically skilled player, not to mention that he is a jungler who switched to top lane, so there is no need to say more.

So what should we do?

The only option is to follow Flandre's path. As a former jungler, Flandre's anti-gank ability is undoubtedly strong, and his map awareness is certainly keen—a professional instinct honed from years of playing jungle, or perhaps he was simply naturally good at it, otherwise he wouldn't have started as a jungler. Given this, why not make good use of this talent?

What is the biggest fear for someone with this kind of talent playing top lane?

It's when the opposing team doesn't take him seriously at all. They either let their top laner beat him and clear the lane for him, or they let their top laner pick a scaling champion or a support champion to farm with him in the top lane. In this situation, Da Huang is truly useless.

In that case, why not just intensify his mockery?

Using emojis is not against the rules, and it subtly aligns with Riot Games' strategy of accelerating emoji sales to make money. It also cleverly uses taunts. Apart from the fact that the methods are indeed a bit unethical and could easily damage one's reputation, are there any other drawbacks?

No.

Is Dahuang someone who cares a lot about his reputation?

These are all veteran players. Playing like this allows them to develop their own style of play, release their pressure, and gain fame—a win-win-win situation.

Especially reputation.

A bad reputation is better than no reputation at all. As long as there's traffic, he can make money. Even haters who are just passive followers are still traffic.

Roland, for one, has always been a strong believer in things like individualized instruction and the theory of talent.

Just like how Chinese people are born with a 25% increase in agriculture and a 15% increase in stress resistance, and agricultural planting breaks through geographical and environmental limitations, Koreans are like people with a 40% increase in shamelessness, a 20% decrease in penis size, and a 20% increase in libido, and a probability of plagiarizing other countries' cultures. No matter how outlandish it is, this thing just exists.

It even extends to individuals.

In fact, many people have their own unique talents, but they may never discover them in their lifetime. Who knows, the person reading this now may actually be a one-in-a-million genius. For example, the person reading this may be a Go prodigy, but he has never played Go since birth, and he has never even understood the rules of Go. It's that simple.

"That's true... but the destructive power is a bit too great."

"Indeed, but it's okay. Results in the LPL can wash away all stains."

"But I still feel it's a bit outrageous."

"Outrageous? That's exactly right. When you become more famous and actors are chasing after you to place bets, you'll be even more eager to learn this set of photos than Da Huang, believe me."

To put it bluntly, humans are emotional beings; it's impossible for anyone to be completely devoid of emotions.

If you are always rational, fair, and objective, you never go crazy, never lose control of your emotions, never take sides, never express opinions, and you can always get out unscathed. You are silent, firmly believing that silence is the best weapon, too lazy to fight, accepting everything, and the pendulum always stops in the middle. You see some people crying, shouting, angry, and helpless, and think they are incredibly stupid. You live your life meticulously and skillfully, only to find in the end that you are not quite human.

Seeing that JKL had also fallen silent, Knight and the others, having lost their leader, naturally stopped trying to make a fool of themselves. They all dispersed, some playing ranked games, others having fun. Noon was their lunch and rest time.

Seeing that he didn't have any plans for tonight and had a free night off, Roland simply typed a message on his phone and sent it to his girlfriend.

Want to catch a movie tonight?

Okay, what time?

Can I eat something cold today?

【able.】

See you at 10:30 tonight!

The most sophisticated information exchange is often hidden in simple, unadorned conversations; all you can say is: those who know, know.

Having arranged my evening schedule, and considering that I had nothing to do for the next two or three hours, I decided to start streaming and continue to fill my time. At the beginning of the month, I had just returned from MSI, and during that time I was basically streaming on and off. It seemed like I was streaming frequently, but the total time added up wasn't much. Now that it's almost the end of the month, I can catch up if I have more time to catch up and maybe I can still meet my KPI.

【Here it comes! Here it comes!】

[You started streaming as soon as I squatted down, and it's on the Chinese server! Are you trying to make me squat in the bathroom, or are you trying to get me to eat?]

[The top tier of the Rift, huh? My heart goes out to those unlucky souls trying to climb the ranks at noon.]

[Don't be so harsh on him. As long as he gets a spot in the top lane, Banhuang is actually quite normal.]

How much traffic does the current "board king" have?

It's almost equivalent to three-quarters of JKL's viewership. Although it's not necessarily true that his livestream viewership is as explosive as Doinb's, given his status as the "crown prince of the e-sports Deyun Society" and his similar penchant for creating entertaining content, his livestream viewership is not necessarily much worse.

"Here I am, my buddy! It's the one you've all been longing for: a sleepless, hair-sparse, innocent, easily fooled, love-struck streamer who knows to run home when it rains, can recite the multiplication table, and only says 'hello' when trying to chat you up—my friends, I've missed you all so much~"

After saying that, Roland touched the hamburger on the table and took a bite.

Say something.

Although trans fats, oil, salt, and sugar have always been the four mythical beasts of marketing accounts.

Although fried foods can easily lead to weight gain.

Although calorie bombs can easily cause panic among people trying to lose weight in live streams.

But... the process of gaining weight is really fun!

All I can say is: It's really good.

Precipitation: Chapter Thirty-Six: Rebuilding the Glory of the All-Chinese Team, Whoever Wins Has an Unavoidable Duty!

Soon, as time went by, the match against RNG was also coming soon. The only difference was that this match dealt a blow to TES right from the start. As a team that had been invincible in the first game of the BO3, they unexpectedly stumbled today.

"Oh no, our first win streak has been broken, what do we do, coach?"

"How am I supposed to know what to do? They just bully you with sheer force, and all you can do is swallow your anger."

White Crescent was also helpless. RNG's winning method was actually very simple: they knew TES was weak in the late game, so they pressured them and dragged the game into the late game. Looking at the entire LPL, RNG can be said to be the team with the most stable and smooth late-game strategy. After all, a few years ago they were playing the strategy of waiting for UZI to get three items and then get going. They definitely play this aspect very well.

After a season of adjustment, RNG's strength is now completely different. Perhaps because their journey of rebirth from the loser's bracket in the Spring Split was interrupted, RNG did not continue on the path of rebirth in the Summer Split. Instead, they became invincible as soon as they returned!

Xiaohu, especially in the top lane, became increasingly aggressive, even showing signs of suppressing the momentum of other LPL top laners.

"This is ridiculous. Xiaohu seems to be getting better and better." Roland was also puzzled. Both of them were players who switched positions. Logically speaking, Da Huang, who switched from jungle to top lane, should have adapted the fastest. But why is Xiaohu, who switched from mid lane to top lane, playing even better than top laners who were originally top laners?

That's not scientific.

Of course, when he was thinking this, he subconsciously ignored himself. Looking at the entire league, there was almost no one more illogical than him.

"Perhaps that's the charm of the older generation of esports players."

"I say that the older generation of esports players almost ended up in jail. In my opinion, there are only two kinds of people in this world."

"Please speak freely."

"One type is people who urinate while taking a shower, and the other type is people who don't admit it."

"..."

Unfortunately, TES is stuck here.

He can't beat the solo laner, and if he plays top laner, he'll be suppressed by Wei. Even if he plays mid laner... well, it's like Earthbound Spirit versus Roaming Master. I reckon Knight's role for the whole game is just to hold off the opponent. Trying to get him to provide support is basically pointless.

With the entire upper jungle area suppressed, the only option should be to attack the bottom lane.

That's the key point.

RNG's bot lane isn't afraid of TES's bot lane duo either.

Gala+Ming vs. JKL+BAN

It all comes down to whether RNG's bot lane makes a mistake first or TES gets carried away. Both sides are evenly matched, and unless JKL plays Draven, it's a 50/50 game.

"What do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Maybe we'll just retire and go work in a factory. Coincidentally, I have a few martial arts manuals here that you can refer to." After saying that, Roland took out the martial arts manuals he bought on a discount on PDD from his pocket: "Immortal Arts Engineering and its Automation", "Introduction to Thunder Magic", "Mystical Electronic Technology", "Principles and Applications of Bagua", "Steady-State Analysis of Talisman Systems", "Magic Weapon Science", "Spiritual Energy Power Technology", and "Talisman Section of Power Plants".
