You actually want me to...

He was gambling, betting that the opposing team would come from the mid lane to the dragon pit.

Thanks to their superior lineup, TES had already set up their positions and secured vision, gaining an early advantage in terrain. In contrast, VG had only just pushed forward the mid-lane, preparing to move towards the dragon.

Judging from the map, Titan is already separated from the team. Once his location is discovered, he will be met with a five-man gank from VG, and his absence from the main battle will result in the loss of a dragon-drawing opportunity.

Conversely, the success rate of initiating team fights from this position is unbelievably high. The vision positions that are usually used to contest the dragon are rarely used by the enemy team unless they have any heroes that can flank and engage. Once a good team fight is initiated, VG will be out of the game after that wave.

This time, fate brought Roland a chance, even though he had to fight for it himself and it had nothing to do with the heavens. At least he had a choice.

Whether he succeeds or not depends on his own performance and luck.

soon.

The Japanese woman and the barrel arrived. After cautiously probing the riverbank bushes and finding no ambush, they immediately began setting up a scouting point. Meanwhile, the three behind them slowly approached.

Once the enemy team cleared the wards, Roland had no vision or information about their movements.

With the wards placed over the wall removed, he couldn't see where his teammates were positioned. Now, he could only gamble, hoping that when he flashed down, he would be near the enemy backline.

Meanwhile, offstage, Ah Shui calmly watched the screen in front of him, a Shiba Inu-like smile playing on his lips.

From his God's-eye view, VG's backline had already entered the river bushes in unison. No one in VG noticed that a Titan was deliberately raiding their base from the shadowy spot just a wall away.

With the right timing, location, and people, this opportunity is simply perfect.

"It's somewhat useful, so I don't need to worry too much." Stretching, Ah Shui lowered his head and started playing with his phone; there was no need to watch what was about to happen.

From the moment we saw Titan begin charging up his Hexflash, the outcome was already predetermined.

Charge up, flash, land.

When Titan successfully passed through the wall via Hextech to the other side, almost all five members of VG surrounded him. The VG team was completely caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this behemoth.

They just felt that this big guy... looked kind of familiar. Then, in the next moment, they were all blasted into the air by Titan's water jet.

"The ocean is boundless!"

As Titan's deep voice rang out, a perfect ultimate skill locked onto the farthest Leona, while simultaneously knocking up three generals including Rumble, Irelia, and Kai'Sa.

This Titan that descended from the sky completely changed the course of the battle in an instant, successfully initiating a team fight!

"Holy crap, six!"

"Charge! Charge! Charge!"

"Go on!"

"Hahahaha~"

With Titan's perfect initiation, the TES team charged forward like mad dogs to deal damage.

Ornn's sheep, Qiyana's shockwave, Miss Fortune's barrage, Elise's explosion—one AOE attack after another rained down on VG's players. With this chain of control, TES managed to score a 0-for-4 against the opposing team, with only Gragas escaping unscathed by Nautilus's crowd control.

[Six, this time they initiated four team fights.]

[A typical gambler's strategy: huge profits when you win, huge losses when you lose, but incredibly entertaining to watch.]

This support player is really good; I suggest making him the starting pick.

[It's hard to say. With this kind of team fight initiation, they'll probably get a severe scolding from the coach after the match. I even suspect they didn't communicate at all during this play.]

This was too much of a gamble.

As a support player, being completely disconnected from his teammates and gambling on the enemy's vision to make it impossible for him to fulfill his role is like flipping a coin – there's absolutely no room for error.

But undeniably, he won his gamble.

After this team fight, VG's hope of a comeback was completely gone. With a nearly 6000 gold lead, three elemental dragons, and the second Rift Herald, TES had secured several key elements to win the game.

A few minutes later, when TES, with the Elemental Dragon Soul and Baron Nashor, once again attacked VG's base, VG could no longer withstand the opponent's offensive and immediately typed GG.

Demacia Cup, quarterfinals, best-of-five, first game.

Roland has successfully delivered a satisfactory result.

First Encounter: Chapter Fifteen: Just a Little Bit~

"Wuhu, Aban, your debut performance was absolutely amazing!" As soon as the match ended, Ka Ge and Zuo Shou surrounded him. 369, who was furthest away, originally wanted to go too, but seeing so many people, he decided against it.

For professional players, the championship is their only pursuit. On the road to the championship, no one wants their teammates to hold them back. As long as they are not competing for the starting position with other players, the stronger their teammates in other positions are, the happier they are.

Yes, esports is brutal, but it's not all that chaotic.

In a 5v5 game, individual strength is useless. This game is ultimately a team game, regardless of whether you have 3S skills, talent bonuses, bullet time, or anything like that. In the early game, I'll gank you once at level two, once at level three, once with the jungler and support at level five, and once more after level six. With so many waves of ganks, even the best player will be forced to kneel.

For a specific template, you can refer to Ma Datou from S5, whose treatment was only one level less than being tower-dived by five people.

"It's alright, it was just a tiny bit of a performance." After saying that, Roland made the "Fingertip Universe" gesture.

"Alright, kid, you stole the show in the first match today, still trying to act tough." He patted him on the shoulder with a laugh and a smile, and the group left the arena chatting and laughing.

Meanwhile, online comments began to discuss whether this new support player had real talent or was just faking his peak performance. The main issue was that in the history of the LPL, there have been countless players who debuted at their peak and then plummeted. After the initial enthusiasm faded, the key question of whether Roland could maintain his peak performance became a pressing issue.

Of course, this discussion didn't generate much buzz.

Firstly, neither TES nor its predecessor TOP had many fans. As mentioned earlier, if a club has no achievements, no strength, and no glorious past, how can it attract attention?

Therefore, most of the TES fans at this time were still casual fans, which seemed pitifully small compared to the number of fans of other clubs.

To put it bluntly, in terms of the number of casual fans, Cat King alone, who started out in the cafeteria, might have more casual fans than the entire club. The fact that TES has a large fan base later on can only be attributed to the immense influence of JackeyLove.

"Well played, but you can come down now. Prophet, get ready to go in." As soon as the group returned, White Crescent prepared to change the formation once again. Even though he had initially intended to practice on Roland, that idea was no longer on his mind.

why?

Because Roland's performance and potential completely exceeded his expectations, he did not want to expose Roland to the public before Roland was fully adapted to the team.

For example, the white crescent moon before the game is like an ambitious young man who just bought a "ladder". He originally wanted to climb over the wall and have a good discussion with people outside about the art of keyboards. However, in the process of climbing over the wall, he not only discussed art, but also met many "female bodhisattvas" active on Twitter and witnessed another kind of "art".

What is a surprise?

This is what you call a TM surprise!

By spending minimal money to strengthen their most troublesome bot lane, the entire TES club must be grinning from ear to ear.

"Okay, coach, no problem, coach." Having achieved the desired result, Roland obediently sat back down in his chair. If he wasn't mistaken, the upcoming Demacia Cup shouldn't be of much concern to him.

that's the truth.

Although clubs clamored to win the Demacia Cup before the tournament, in reality, it wasn't taken very seriously. Some teams didn't even have all their main players present, or even any at all. So, it wasn't very prestigious at all; frankly, it was just a stage for rookies to showcase their talents.

If their rookie were a solo carry, White Crescent would definitely let him play. But now that TES's rookie is the bot lane duo and the team's brain that they're grooming, he's thinking of keeping him hidden away and giving him individual coaching first.

"After the match today, come back to the room with me, and I'll show you some fun things."

???

"No, Coach, I'm not into that kind of thing."

"How can you, a support player, not enjoy this? From the moment you joined the team, you should have been aware of this. The AD hasn't arrived yet, so I'll take you to experience it first." Seeing his coach's serious expression, Roland's face turned pale instantly.

"No way, coach! I'm just playing professionally to earn some money. I'm a professional artist, not a pro!"

"Sell yourself? Sell what?" Only then did White Crescent sense something bad from Roland's strange and frightened gaze, and then she slammed a dunk on him.

"What are you thinking? I told you to hurry up and learn team leadership from me. With your amateur skills, you can only bully the other team, which is also a rookie. If you haven't graduated from my level by the playoffs, I'll put you on the bench."

Seeing this guy's expression, White Crescent felt angry. Logically speaking, the personality of a rookie professional player can be compared to which player they idolized when they became fans, because it will have some influence.

But looking across the entire LPL, he had never seen a professional player with such an eccentric personality.

"Hehe, Coach, what you said was a bit...well, I thought..."

"Shut up. Subordinates shouldn't talk back to their superiors. I didn't say you can talk but you can't."

"Hmm~"

After calming down, the two watched the rest of the match together. Of course, the next match wasn't as smooth as the first; the two teams went the full five-game series, going to a decisive fifth game. It wasn't that the two "Unrivaled Bananas" had some extraordinary burst of skill; simply maintaining their normal level was already quite impressive.

What truly disrupted the balance was Cube's explosive performance, much like in the original game. During the Demacia Cup in the S10 preseason, Cube was the most unpredictable top laner in the entire LPL.

When he's strong, his laning ability is comparable to TheShy's; when he's weak, he's ridiculously bad. If 369's sieve has three options, then his options are only two and eight.

Fortunately, things turned out alright in the end, and TES successfully won the last game to advance to the semifinals. Although VG had Cube's miraculous comeback, Knight, who had been struggling for four games, finally stepped up in the last one.

If the mid lane is strong, then the jungler will be strong.

Furthermore, with veteran Karsa on one side and a rookie jungler on the other, the gap in experience and practical skills between the two sides was quite large. As a result, the rhythm of the last game started from the mid and jungle and spread to the entire map.

Just as Roland was about to go out and celebrate with his teammates.

"Drip drop~"

His phone rang.

First Encounter: Chapter Sixteen: Once your back bends, you'll never be able to straighten it again.

More than an hour later, when Roland finally slipped away from all sorts of interviews and post-match procedures, it was already dinnertime.

As a rookie player who made a phenomenal debut in the quarterfinals, the LPL's affection for him is immense. As the league, they love seeing promising talents like him emerge every year, because they not only represent new hope and blood for the region, but also a constant stream of buzz and discussion.

This time, however, Roland wasn't nervous and handled the interview very smoothly. Although he was satisfied with his debut, he actually felt terrible during the interview.

There's nothing we can do about it. He's been playing professionally in LDL for almost a year, but hardly anyone knows his name. Only occasional obscure reports show that there's a pretty good support player in LDL.

Today, it was just a small match in the LPL Demacia Cup, yet he has already begun to gain his own attention. The difference between the two is obvious.

Putting aside his emotions, Roland glanced at his location and then expertly hailed a taxi, arriving at a small restaurant a few kilometers away. There, one of his few close friends in this world would be waiting for him.

"Why are you so slow?" As soon as Roland entered, he saw Brother Shui sitting in the corner. The dishes on the table had already been served, so he must have been waiting for him for a long time.

"Post-match interviews, you know what they are, they're so tedious. But speaking of which, your head seems to have gotten bigger lately."

"Get the hell out of here! Can't you spit out anything good from your dog mouth?"

"I just couldn't resist it subconsciously." Roland chuckled, then picked up the soda on the table and clinked glasses with the person opposite him.

Strange to say.

Just like every transmigrator has their own cheat code, while other transmigrators have various systems and superpowers, his cheat code is quite special. It is a water boy who inexplicably gets along well with his personality.

Their relationship began with technical skills but ended with personality clashes.

In this S10 era, it's already difficult for JackeyLove to find a suitable support player. Because of his experience with IG, he knows very well what kind of support he needs.
