You actually want me to...

In the first game's draft, 100T indeed released Yuumi as he expected. This was a test from various teams against TES. However, TES was quite ruthless. They didn't want to take your card so early, so they directly sent their support to take it.

If you don't understand T1 on the first day, then on the second day, T1, as their opponent, will have no choice but to let them win. Maybe they can even use T1's decision to let them win to test their own team's strategy, and also consider stealing a win from T1.

In a competition, the players' abilities are one aspect, but the strategic arrangement of the players is another.

If someone like Prophet, who hasn't played in a long time, can win a game with Yuumi, then someone like Roland, who plays every day, shouldn't have any problem with Yuumi either. If White Crescent remembers correctly, Yuumi is one of the few enchanter supports that White Crescent knows. He even confidently said that if Yuumi appears in a fill role, it must be a top laner who is disheartened and resigned to their fate after a losing streak against a bad player.

Really.

Top laners who lose too many ranked games will likely give up and switch to playing support like Yuumi. Another group will become a smelly jungler to annoy their teammates. Only the remaining group will consider other positions, since some people do have masochistic tendencies and might play AD and concede.

"Relax, relax. Anyway, as far as cats are concerned, the Seer's proficiency is definitely better than mine." Roland seemed indifferent. It's only 100T. Even if you have to take the opponent seriously in terms of tactics, you still have to look at your own configuration.

A top-tier team shouldn't be unable to clear 1-7 just because it has a low-level operator in it, right? It just takes a little longer.

"That's hard to say. In my opinion, your cat is more intelligent." After listening for a while, Lao Guo decisively interjected his opinion. He had seen the Prophet's cat before, and it was indeed amazing in terms of skill, but in some special areas, it was not as "unique" as Roland's.

"Yes, indeed."

White Crescent thought it was a great idea, so she handed him a takeout order as well.

Meanwhile, the game on the field gradually drew them in.

It's not that the Prophet's performance was particularly outstanding, but rather that 100T's several decisions and plays were quite impressive. However, TES's lineup was a late-game carry AD composition from the beginning, so they didn't exert the same dominance in the early game as they usually do.

However... the role the cat plays becomes increasingly alarming as the game progresses.

The terrifying protective abilities, frequent skill healing, high attribute bonuses, and laning strength that can be combined with Exhaust and Ignite have forced players like White to place even greater emphasis on Yuumi.

This version from that period was completely unfamiliar to Roland and his team.

During the play-in stage, Tryndamere mid and Amumu support were the most popular picks. In the group stage, Yuumi's strength surprised everyone on the first day. As the game progressed, thanks to Yuumi's strong protective abilities, JKL was able to escape from the enemy's encirclement several times, even though he frequently jumped over his teammates to deal damage. He created one memorable moment after another.

"This cat is like it's been buffed, with 90% special protection, 1000% melee attack power, etc. It's unstoppable, absolutely terrifying." After holding back for a while, Roland could only sigh that the designer's backstabbing plan had indeed succeeded.

They're really targeting his champion pool and taking advantage of his lack of support champions.

Humph.

Wrong, terribly wrong!

"Good to know. We should win this game. However, the Prophet's appearance is just a brief appearance. In tomorrow's match against T1, the Prophet alone may not be able to suppress the other players' aggressiveness, so you'll still have to play."

You mean?

"You know...everyone wants to kick Faker while he's down, just like how every coach wanted to teach Kkoma a lesson back in the day."

The moment he closed the notebook, the white crescent moon's aura underwent a dramatic transformation, radiating a menacing sharpness. His gaze was resolute, and the casual flick of his pen stirred the air, creating a rustling sound...

[Show-off mode activated!]

Even without the system's voiceover, Roland had already given his coach this line in his mind, otherwise it wouldn't do justice to his high-class image.

finally.

TES secured a victory in their first match, albeit with some surprises. When the camera panned from the break room to the TES backstage area, the scene of the three eating takeout was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Lao Guo, White Crescent, and Roland were all looking at the screen with smiles and trust in their eyes. Their gentle gazes were filled with confidence in their teammates and players.

Here it comes again... this guy's started again.

[If the screen hadn't caught a glimpse of the lunchboxes on the table behind me when it first switched on, I almost would have believed it.]

To be fair, they do trust their teammates quite a bit (laughs)

[This wave, this wave, is like Top Esports having no generals, with the prophet leading the charge.]

The substitute player came on, the player was flexible, and they even won the game with Yuumi, a champion that is universally recognized as unplayable by TES. The popularity generated by this first victory directly pushed the topic to the top of the Zhihu hot list, and even single-handedly surpassed the second place by a large margin.

The other three LPL teams were dumbfounded. Everyone else was playing the game seriously, and you were the only one trying to create a spectacle. How could you be so impolite?

Then, RNG left the group chat...

"You didn't play very well, Prophet. You deserve at least three-ninths of the credit for today's victory." As soon as his teammate returned, Roland immediately smiled and went over to offer Prophet a cup of hot tea.

"No, no, no, my teammates played well, I'm just a support player."

Upon seeing this, the prophet dared not accept the offer and was practically kneeling before him.

Isn't it great to win a game?

Cool.

But tomorrow is T1, what kind of opponent is 100T? What kind of opponent is T1? He just wants to slack off and collect his salary, he doesn't want to be dragged out and dismembered on the spot. This kind of excitement is enough in one game.

“It’s different. I believe that your victory today has also sent many people to places they shouldn’t have gone.”

"Eh?"

"To put it simply, the environment there is beautiful, with a gentle breeze, and the panoramic view of the city will give you a unique experience. You'll be in direct contact with the sky, getting closer to the stars and experiencing the ultimate lifestyle. You can exchange ideas with top talents in the industry and savor the joys of life amidst the extreme acceleration of 9.8 meters per second."

"???"

Settled: Chapter Four: I'll get an armor first.

The next day.

On the second day of the group stage, TES finally faced off against their LCK opponent, T1. Although the appearance of the Prophet yesterday certainly made the show more entertaining, for today's match, most LPL fans would rather see Banhuang go up and thoroughly annoy Dafei, even if his reputation is still good at this point.

[Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge! Take first place! Kill Faker! Today is the day!]

I heard Knight ranked until 5 AM last night; he seems to be going crazy with excitement.

[How could I not be excited? The last time we won was at the MSC, and Faker back then wasn't nearly as valuable as he is now at Worlds.]

Let's not use the Prophet today. I suggest TES play it safe and wait until the DFM match.

[DFM: Thank you so much.]

As if to confirm the fans' expectations, the familiar figure reappeared in the audience's view once again after the camera focused on the contestant the next day.

"What a pity. I was hoping to study a little longer. It wouldn't have been bad if T1 had let the Prophet play." Roland pouted, clearly not used to the end of his short break.

"Give me a break, studying? Every time you go back home you're just on your phone."

"I'm learning from the experiences of other forum members. This is called craftsmanship. Can other contestants adopt such a humble attitude?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the learning path is like this: Nine-Tailed Fox Ahri, Lingluo Doll, Kindred, and Manhua Tongling. If you hadn't kept up your habit of forwarding lewd pictures, I almost would have believed you."

one day.

Just one day.

Their lewd picture group's chat history exceeded 99+, and the problem is that each of these messages was converted into a full chat history, which is really an exaggerated number.

Before Roland could even offer a counter-argument, the machine on the field, after completing its debugging, immediately entered the BP phase, forcibly interrupting his spellcasting.

Here is a brief introduction to the members of T1.

Canna, the top laner, is known as the "Twitch Top Laner" and is considered Khan's successor (self-proclaimed). He was voted the number one in the LCK All-Star voting during the S11 season (when Nuguri withdrew). He was one of the culprits who lost the semifinals of the former World Championship team. His specialty is shopping, and he is good at having his teammates protect him while he continues shopping.

Oner, the jungler, was instrumental in T1's 18-game winning streak. It's hard to say how much of that was due to his skill level. He's a Nidalee specialist, but his playstyle is quite peculiar. He's a jungler who's weak in tempo but strong in team fights, so ganking top lane has never been very effective. However, T1's strategy is often to protect the top lane, which is quite strange.

Skip to mid laner Faker.

The bot laner, nicknamed "Little Lu Bu," is the LCK's publicly acknowledged "Under One," the leader of the new generation of LCK AD carries, the founder of "30% Strength," the CJB mentioned by the priest, and the glorious ADC who was killed three times by wildcard regions. Yes, these are all him. His performance in the region is so outrageous that he has even been praised by Europe and America as being like Uzi. All I can say is that Uzi did not deserve this.

As for Keria in the support position, if it weren't for Genshin Impact, he might be the best support in LCK, a genius whose strength is second only to Genshin Impact, but his overall vision and command ability are not as good as his opponent, making him a formidable opponent.

T1's playstyle is characterized by early-game support Keria roaming and setting the pace, mid-game macro play to stabilize the gap between the two sides, and then using the excellent late-game control capabilities of their two carries – a classic EDG-style playstyle, and it's even the EDG of S6.

As mentioned earlier, LCK teams traditionally prefer to play it safe when playing against LPL teams, observing their meta lineups and the level of pressure they face. In yesterday's match between 100T and TES, White Crescent successfully outmaneuvered everyone. Today, T1 must test their skills and see if TES truly understands Yuumi.

then.

First round of bans:

T1: LeBlanc, Lee Sin, Ziggs

TES: Lucian, Azir, Ryze

One round of PICK:

T1: Twisted Fate, Jayce, Xin Zhao

TES: Graves, Sylas, Jarvan IV

In the first round of bans, both sides basically made targeted bans. TES knew what combinations the other side wanted to see them pick, so they decided not to pick White Crescent first. Since I can get the Yuumi system 100% of the time, I will pick the top, mid and jungle early to make my teammates more comfortable.

Second round of bans: Senna, Aphelios, Nautilus, and Braum were all banned.

T1 was afraid TES would cheat, so they directly dismantled the Senna-Tahm Kench and Urgot compositions. After all, TES's bot lane is known for its unpredictable and clutch play. They were genuinely afraid that if they set up everything for the opponent, the opponent would cheat and not take it, and T1 would lose a lot of money with their draft.

TES didn't panic. They first banned Titan, which is a hard counter to the Yuumi composition, and then banned the item that can defend against Miss Fortune.

Second round of PICK:

TES immediately locked in Miss Fortune.

T1 had no other choice. They dismantled parts of the game and ended up having to pick Jhin and Leona as their fourth or fifth pick to fill the gap.

TES pets the cat again.

This is the end.

T1: Top lane Jayce, Jungle Xin Zhao, Mid lane Twisted Fate, Bot lane Jhin + Leona

TES: Top - Graves, Jungle - Jarvan IV, Mid - Sylas, Bot - Miss Fortune + Yuumi

Aside from the jungler, TES seemed to be in a very comfortable position in every lane. Even though Sylas in the mid lane didn't have an easy time laning against Twisted Fate in the early game, he has played Sylas against Twisted Fate quite a few times in the LPL, hasn't he?

Do you even understand the value of playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) in the mid lane of the LPL?

This lineup, which White Crescent considered perfect, elicited various cries of despair from LPL viewers.

[The Emperor's cat? Send it!]

As a Senna player who was once supported by Banhuang, I feel I can say a few words about Banhuang's Yuumi.

[How's the guy upstairs? Is his support role any good?]

[I only remember the last time he possessed the tankiest top laner, and after the enemy used all their skills, he came down and just spammed auto-attacks, killing them all. His items at the time were something like Kraken, Blade of the Ruined King, Guinsoo's Rageblade, and Berserker's Greaves.]

LPL viewers: ......

Of course, Roland on the field at this moment had no idea what the audience off the field was thinking. Although he played a lot of Minotaur heroes during his live streams, to be fair, this was indeed the hero he had played the most among support heroes.

After all, he's just giving up, those who know, know. Even occasionally during mealtimes, he'll start playing games and choose to play with the cat.
