Chapter 183: Team Owner

"Boss, look, shouldn't you pick this up?" Abu, standing beside the office desk, displayed his phone screen, looking somewhat helpless: "The calls are even coming through to me now."

"Don't pick it up, don't pick it up! These guys usually act all high and mighty, but all they know how to do is take advantage of a crisis."

Ed Zhu waved his hand irritably, complaining with full-blown anger.

"You have no idea. According to my sources, at least six or seven teams are eyeing Ye Bo's 1+1 contract right now. I've even heard that teams from the European and American regions are interested, intentionally trying to drive up the price!"

"If it were just Ye Bo, it would be fine; I could scrape together some savings to keep him. The problem is, these people are basically tearing our whole team apart!"

The more Ed Zhu spoke, the angrier he became.

He was extremely well-informed, having received a massive amount of inside information the moment the World Championship ended.

Just as many people had anticipated.

Not a single person in charge of an LPL team wanted to see EDG become the next dominant team to leave the rest of the league in the dust.

In the ancient era, the Three Royal Families were still locked in a fierce struggle.

During the championship era, there were also three championship teams standing on equal footing with the rising stars.

Even now, those big-capital teams willing to spend money could still barely compete; at least they had other star players, so the traffic wouldn't all run away.

But once there was a real chance for a third championship...

At that point, aside from Ye Bo, the entire EDG roster would have achieved a three-peat.

What kind of concept would that be?

The entire roster would surpass Faker in terms of honors!!

Just thinking about it, one could be 100% certain that if it really happened, the vast majority of the LPL region's traffic would focus entirely on these five people from EDG, and all other players would completely lose their luster.

Ed Zhu had a thick family fortune, but in the end, it was still a "private team."

He couldn't just take family money to fund his hobby—it was the same principle as Wang Sicong of IG.

Trying to compete in financial power against big-capital conglomerates like Jingdong, Weibo, or Bilibili was already a bit of a struggle.

Especially now, with the trend of "Besieging Bright Summit"!

"Jiejie and Meiko's contracts are easier to handle. Jiejie's hasn't expired yet, and although Meiko needs to renew this year, as long as we don't offer much less than the outside, he won't leave," Abu analyzed seriously.

"The biggest problem right now is the hot topic of the mid-laner, as well as the top-laner and the AD candidate."

"Speaking of AD!" Ed Zhu slammed the table in anger: "Damn it, speaking of AD makes me even angrier!"

"It's fine that Viper wants to go home. I had my eye on Ruler to take over. According to my sources in Korea, I heard Ruler had the intention of coming to China after the semifinals, and I contacted him immediately."

"We had already made some progress, but then they suddenly said several other teams had joined the bidding, and the price is now almost double what I initially negotiated!"

"I even considered Gala, Light, and Lwx. But you know what? Every time I inquired about one, news immediately followed that someone else was already pursuing them!"

"This is clearly targeting us!"

It's no wonder Ed Zhu was breaking down.

Because, in places where ordinary viewers couldn't feel it, the "war" had actually already begun.

Several teams were targeting EDG, not only determined to drive up prices to "dismantle the team," but clearly engaging in sniping.

In itself, there were only so many players at the top level for each position.

If you exclude the "non-free agent" options, the best choices for each position, at most, only left two or three candidates.

Even if EDG really wanted to spend money regardless of the cost, there weren't many candidates.

Abu also frowned in distress: "Should Mingkai and I go to the LCK side and take a look? The main thing is that the transfer period hasn't opened yet, and there aren't many players released..."

"By the way, Boss, what is our approximate budget for this year?"

When asked this critical question, Ed Zhu hesitated noticeably.

He then sighed: "I'll try to scrape together as much as I can. The funding needs for the Valorant side aren't high; the league doesn't start until next year."

"This year's sponsorships should be easy to sell. If we include the new year's sponsorship fees, it should be barely enough to match last year's baseline."

Abu was sensible enough not to press further.

The outside world didn't know, but Abu knew some of the inside story.

Ed Zhu's family business, "Hopson Development," had been infinitely glorious a few years ago, once being the family of the richest man in a certain province.

But with the pandemic in recent years, the family's main real estate business was on the verge of collapse, and they had even nearly invested in Evergrande a few years ago.

The situation was no better than Wang Sicong's Wanda!

And most of Ed Zhu's own funds were invested in car manufacturing; the Hozon Auto he founded was currently in a state of extreme loss.

The funds EDG had left were all based on the foundation saved after the club won the championship last year; there was no longer any ability for external blood transfusions.

Ed Zhu really wanted to keep this team at all costs and make another run at a third championship.

It just happened to collide with this timing.

"By the way, are Ye Bo's commercial and streaming arrangements set?" Ed Zhu remembered something.

"Don't treat him poorly. We already treated him quite poorly last year; let's compensate him where we can."

Speaking of this, his face finally showed some smiles and pride.

"To pick up a mid-laner of this historical level for three million, who also won a world championship—I have to marvel at our good luck. Unlike that old guy Chen Rui, who bought a money-losing piece of trash, heh."

Abu nodded: "Don't worry, Mingkai went to help him with the contract; we didn't take a cut."

"What about the debut? What date is the debut?"

"No matter what happens in the future, he is someone who came out of our EDG, so he shouldn't be short of what he deserves."

November 11th, the fifth day after the finals ended.

The official League of Legends "Championship Celebration" went live, and Bilibili also scheduled Ye Bo's championship debut broadcast for this day.

Bilibili was clearly very savvy, knowing that the earlier the championship debut, the more explosive the heat would be, so after obtaining Ye Bo's consent, they arranged it almost immediately after the contract was signed.

Ye Bo, of course, had no objections.

After all, he couldn't start streaming yet to coordinate with the debut, and staying at home was somewhat boring—he couldn't practice assassinations in the "Pot" every day.

However, Ye Bo really liked this Pot!

Outsiders might find it hard to imagine what kind of experience it was to be able to face and interact with a hero one had liked for ten years in person.

It was like breaking the dimensional wall, with a character from one's dreams appearing right before one's eyes.

They were even exactly the same in appearance and personality as in one's memory—it was exactly as imagined, which was simply hard to describe in words!

And although it was a consciousness space, when Ye Bo was practicing throwing the Shuriken, the soft, elastic touch of those powerful little hands pressing down to adjust his force-exerting posture was all very real.

And come to think of it—it really had "combat effectiveness"!

In the past few days, when Ye Bo used Akali in ranked games, he clearly felt a world of difference and had developed a brand-new understanding.

It is no exaggeration to say that he felt like he was playing a new hero.

All along, he had thought his Akali had reached the peak, and he had always thought level seven was the limit.

But now it seems... even among level-seven heroes, there are gaps!

Or rather, beyond level seven.

Under the "coaching" of the hero herself, it was possible to give birth to the concept of "Level 7+."

Ye Bo had already started thinking about who the next hero to summon in the Pot would be.

It's just that summoning each hero costs 10, 00 Counterattack Points. Since the trial ground opened up a doubled flow rate, although Ye Bo had quite a reserve, he still had to spend a bit sparingly.

Seven o'clock, prime time.

All prominent positions on the streaming platform's homepage, including banners, were hung with EDG's official photos and the Summoner's Cup, filling the atmosphere with championship vibes.

And the pattern of the two characters "YE" could be seen everywhere.

Ye Bo sat in front of his computer desk on time and familiarly opened the tuned OBS streaming software.

"Player Ye, you can start the broadcast now. If you have any questions or requests, let me know at any time. We will respond to your entire stream at any moment."

The one-on-one streaming specialist dispatched by Bilibili provided meticulous help over the voice chat.

Bilibili attached immense importance to Ye Bo's stream; in fact, there was far more than just one streaming specialist.

Chen Rui directly arranged a streaming team specifically responsible for the maintenance of Ye Bo's channel, ensuring that the debut and subsequent streaming schedule would be foolproof.

"Alright, I'm starting then."

While the screen was still black, the chat in room 24695762 was already full of messages.

This room number was one Ye Bo had intentionally kept and had not changed.

This was the room number where he had first started streaming.

【Open the door??? It's seven o'clock! Open the door!】

【You have the ability to win the championship! You have the ability to open the door!】

【I've already maxed out my grandpa's social security card, open the door quickly! I want to shower you with gold!】

【Grandpa! The door! Eternal! Master Ye, I love you!!!】

【It's open, it's open, it's open, refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh!】

After a burst of frantic refreshing, Ye Bo's camera finally appeared in the stream.

"Here I am, here I am~ The FMVP is here~~~"

"Hello everyone! Good evening!"

But the moment Ye Bo's voice and image appeared.

He couldn't see anything at all.

The chat was piled up like a mountain, and from this very moment, the gift box on the right exploded with perfect punctuality!

Ye Bo really couldn't see the content of the chat and could only thank the eye-catching gift box first.

"Oh my, thank you to 【Want to have Master Ye's babies】, 【Number One Disciple of Grandpa's Gate】, 【Stone Lion in Front of the Akali Sect】, 【The World's Number One Yao Kun Organization】... for the Viceroy titles!"

"Everyone, don't spend so much money, I can't even thank you all in time."

Ye Bo truly wanted to read the IDs one by one, but he clearly lacked the energy to do so.

Within less than a minute of the stream starting, the number of "Great Voyages" in the live room instantly broke through 1, 00!

The cheapest "Captain" on Bilibili's "Great Voyage" is 200 yuan a month, "Admiral" is 2k, and the most expensive "Viceroy" is 20k!

In other words.

In just this one minute of streaming, even if they were all just Captains—the gift revenue alone was at least a staggering 200k!

Ye Bo was a bit dumbfounded; he had never seen such a spectacle.

He recalled the old days, when receiving one Captain in a month would make him happy for a long time.

"Thank you, 【Ai De Zhu】. Boss Zhu, for the twenty Viceroys! Thank you, Boss!"

"Thank you, 【Coach Abu】, for the two Viceroys! Thank you, 【Clearlove】, for the five Viceroys! Oh, Factory Manager, you're here! It's always more reassuring to receive gifts from the Factory Manager~~~"

The screen was instantly flooded with 77777s in the chat.

Only when the formation was neat could Ye Bo see it.

The other four EDG members also appeared with their IDs one after another, all of them flooding the screen to show their support for Ye Bo.

Not only that, but Uzi, Zzitai, Doinb, DYS, Chujun Ekko, and a series of other familiar IDs all sent at least one Viceroy.

Among them, some were old friends who truly came to support him.

But others were shrewd, knowing full well how terrifying the heat of this premiere would be; it was equivalent to spending money on a one-minute advertisement while getting some face time.

Chen Rui, who was personally overseeing the Bilibili backend, couldn't stop grinning.

The operations director beside him was reporting real-time data: "Boss, the revenue has already exceeded five million, there are 170, 00 new users from other sites, and the number of concurrent viewers has already passed 300, 00."

"This traffic is explosive! The effect is far beyond our expectations; this promotional campaign was truly well done!"

Chen Rui shook his head with a smile: "The promotion didn't have much to do with it; this young man's performance at the World Championship this time was just too exaggerated, it's only natural."

He then couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "If BLG can poach him next year, they will definitely take off!"

The operations director immediately chimed in with a smile: "Then Boss, shall I arrange it for you now?"

"No rush, no rush. Hmm?"

Chen Rui had just wanted to say something.

Suddenly, he saw the gift box, which had become ten times more frantic, erupting in a terrifying display—along with one familiar ID after another!

【Bai Xing】 sent Viceroy x5.

【Zuo Wu Jun】 sent Viceroy x10.

【Shi Tou Gan Lu ing】 sent Viceroy x20.

【Guo Hao aksashi】 sent Viceroy x20.

【He Youjun marioho】 sent Viceroy x30.

【Dan Dan Lan Lian Hua i】 sent Viceroy x40.

"These guys!" Chen Rui clearly hadn't expected to see these specific IDs.

Far away, Ai De Zhu, seeing these IDs appear so brazenly in the live room, was instantly so anxious he was practically gritting his teeth.

These guys! To be so blatant!

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, while they couldn't contact the player privately—it wasn't said they couldn't do it openly, right?

In fact.

Viewers who were familiar with LPL news would not be strangers to these IDs.

These were the club leaders of various teams, all out in the open.

And appearing here at this very moment, throwing out hundreds of thousands in gifts—the motive was naturally self-evident and known to all!

【Holy crap!!! A boss battle royale!? It's on!】

【My god, this prestige! This is truly the greatest prestige in history, even TheShy and Uzi didn't have this effect back then! The bosses are personally stepping in to get some face time?】

【I heard Master Ye's contract is 1+1, so isn't this just a contest of who has more money? They're here to show off their wealth. But then again, Master Ye can only join one team, isn't it a waste of money to spam like this?】

【Feeling sorry for the capitalists, are you? They might spend more than this on a female streamer in one night! Besides, Master Ye isn't just playing for one season~~~】

【The transfer period hasn't even started yet and it's already like this; for each of them to throw out hundreds of thousands first is just too insane.】

【I can only say Master Ye is fine, if I had the money, I'd spam too!】

【Uncle's mouth is crooked from smiling; I don't know how much the signing fee was, but he probably earned half of it back in one night.】

【Hey, what the hell is Chen Rui doing! Does he dare not show some gesture??? Someone save the Mongolian Top Laner!】

Just as the countless Mongolian Top Laners were rioting in the chat.

The live room suddenly exploded again with a shocking banner, instantly turning everything upside down!

《【Chen Rui】 sent Viceroy x100!

The top ten Weibo trending topics were almost completely dominated within these ten minutes, all related to this topic.

Even #Wang Feng's New Album was pushed down to eleventh place!

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, the other club owners felt there was no need to fight for this; after all, that was Uncle's territory.

"Whoa, thank you Boss Chen Rui for the one hundred Viceroys."

Ye Bo spent a full twenty minutes thanking people for gifts, his heart constantly being refreshed by the shock.

He browsed Tieba forums and knew he was quite famous now.

But he really hadn't expected the influence of winning the championship to be this terrifying!

Of course—in reality, Ye Bo had no concept of his current situation.

One championship is not rare; there are nearly twenty people in the LPL who have achieved this.

But if one championship is combined with a rookie FMVP, a perfect S-series run, 1. solo kills per game, a 70% MVP rate, BP capabilities stronger than many coaches, and a path paved by stepping on the heads of almost every well-known mid-lane ID...

The accumulation of all this kept increasing Ye Bo's weight in the hearts of these "discerning people"!

It was absolutely the best in history.

"Alright, alright, everyone please stop spamming, I'm going to start a game~" Ye Bo urged.

"The streamer isn't short of money right now; if you really have spare cash, you might as well save it to buy the championship skins next year!"

It must be said that he is a veteran streamer with plenty of experience, instantly shifting the chat topic elsewhere.

"Who will I choose for the skin... That's definitely Akali! I have never had the slightest thought about any other hero, I swear!"

"The first skin is simply the only choice; I only have Akali in my heart!"

"After the stream today, I happen to have a meeting with the designers to talk about everyone's championship skin designs."

【I knew it!!! The Akali sect is the true legitimate spouse!】

【Wuwuwu, will it be Sylas's turn next year? When will us Sylas players be able to stand up!】

【Master Ye, can you let me touch your trophy?】

【The national server championship event is quite generous this year; I hope the skin quality is also top-tier. This is the first LPL back-to-back championship skin!】

【What did the others choose? Can Master Ye reveal a little!】

Ye Bo opened the client while chatting and happened to see this comment.

"Sheng Qiang Ge seems to have said he wants to choose Ornn, saying this hero has famous moments every World Championship and has a high pick rate, making the skin easy to sell."

"Then Jie Jie should choose Sejuani, because he said he could, hehe."

"As for the bot lane, it seems to be Draven and Nami, but everyone hasn't finalized it yet; only I was the first to confirm!"

The chat immediately started sharp commentary.

Some trolls couldn't help but start trolling with "Bold!", and other things like "Trying to steal your brother's next championship skin, are you?" and other incomprehensible words.

Ye Bo turned his head from the split screen and noticed the latest national server game client.

The large pop-up on the main interface was a photo of the entire EDG team holding the trophy, with himself standing in the center C-position, holding the trophy high.

Next to it were the team logo and the words "2022 World Championship Winner"—this was also content synchronized across all global server clients, visible whenever anyone opened their client.

The golden rain in the photo falling from the sky, combined with the Summoner's Cup in the center, had quite an atmospheric feel.

Actually, the composition of this trophy-holding photo is similar every year.

But when he truly saw himself in it, appearing inside the game client, it was a completely different feeling.

He also took a look at the 【Championship Event】 page.

Not to mention the standard "Permanent Skin Draw" + "Championship Team Golden Icon" + "All Heroes Free for One Month" events.

As the first team in the LPL to win two consecutive championships, the officials really "bled" for this.

The original "7-day trial" for the championship lineup skins from the Bo5 finals was extended to 30 days, and at a 90% discount for a limited time!

The original "half-price" for all skins in the store also broke precedent to reach a "70% off" discount!

And there was the special treatment for the FMVP—all heroes and skins used by Ye Bo in this S-series were free to experience for 30 days, plus a limited-time 90% discount!

For the national server, which treats skins like life and considers using skin-changers ten times more sinful than using scripts, this was definitely a huge deal!

"Not bad, this event is really not bad!" Ye Bo was quite satisfied: "I must empty the store after the stream; I've always wanted to do this."

"By the way brothers, I suggest you buy the Star Guardian skin used for Akali in the finals, it's really good-looking... Oh, the KDA one is also not bad."

After checking the event, Ye Bo finally started his normal streaming routine.

It's just that the intensity of the Peak of the Canyon was a bit lacking, and now that it was near the end of the season, all sorts of monsters and ghosts were appearing.

Ye Bo was still streaming, which was basically a "fan team-building" session; his opponents wished all five of them could stare at him and target him!

Losing the game didn't matter, they just had to come to the mid lane and shout, "I'm your fan!"

Ye Bo didn't have teammates to command this time, the coordination in the solo queue was terrible, and it often felt like he was 1v5 in the mid lane!

After playing four games, he only managed two wins and two losses.

The chat is full of banter: "Can win the world championship, but can't win a national server rank!"

"So this is the intensity at the end of the season." Ye Bo also scratches his head and exits the client with high emotional intelligence.

"I'll play on the Korean server. Since the season is ending soon, if my rank isn't high enough when the season settles, I'll get my pay docked."

He finds his rhythm as soon as he switches servers, and the chat is full of banter about "Professional Anti-Korean."

Three games, three wins; the ID "chinesekungfu" is once again wreaking havoc on the Korean server!

The Korean server is strictly managed; there are real-life cases of locals being arrested for acting as "actors" or boosting accounts.

This is the effect of South Korean national law, which is indeed difficult for the national server to achieve at present.

As Ye Bo begins to enter the game, the popularity of the livestream not only doesn't drop, but starts to rise even more steadily.

The real-time backend viewership data has already broken historical records, leaving all external data observers dumbfounded.

"Alright, last game. I'm off the clock after this. Thank you all for supporting the first broadcast!"

The chat is instantly flooded with "?????????"

"I'm really not being lazy. It's because I have to meet with the designers later to talk about skin designs. Oh, I can't talk about that on stream, gotta leave some suspense, everyone!" Ye Bo skillfully manages the atmosphere.

"Anyway, I should be streaming every day before the off-season, so we can see each other again tomorrow~"

"I hope to play K'Sante in this last game. Why can't I play him on either server?"

Ye Bo has been wanting to play the new hero K'Sante, but he just hasn't been able to.

He's been "living" in the ban slot on both servers.

You can't test the strength of a new hero in the training camp; you can only feel their true strength in high-intensity ranked games that match their rank.

Yet, just by looking at this hero's skills, Ye Bo already vaguely feels—this is going to be an outrageous "mechanic monster"!

To say nothing else.

Just the outrageous setting of the ultimate ability's mechanic, "the tankier you are, the higher the damage," has already placed him at a brand-new height for a tank hero—compared to the clever Malphite, his design mechanics are practically "Three-Body Problem" level!

Plus, the mid-range Q skill is almost cost-free, the W comes with innate Tenacity and is unstoppable, there are two hard crowd-control effects, and the E skill is both a dash and a shield.

Of course, Ye Bo hasn't tried him out personally, so these are just the impressions he's gathered for now.

However, he is truly very interested in this hero.

Matching into the game, he finds he's been autofilled to top lane, so he requests an interaction in the chat box.

But the mid-laner with the Korean ID doesn't reply.

Soon, helpful viewers in the chat provide a reminder, discovering the identity of the mid-laner through a lookup website.

"Is the mid-laner Zeka?"

Looking at the chat comments, he can actually understand.

Ye Bo understands best that players who like playing assassins generally won't give up their position.

From the performance in the final game of the previous decisive series, it wasn't hard for Ye Bo to see that although the opponent was a bit "mentally broken," or even had their "Dao heart shattered."

It seems they still weren't beaten into submission.

For that alone, Ye Bo still respects this opponent.

In his view, the most important thing for an assassin player is not to lose their spirit, not to give up any possible opportunity for a play, and not to be a coward!

Of course, the more he respects them, the more he will want to give his all the next time they meet.

"That's fine, I'll just go top lane~"

"K'Sante is banned again, let's finish up with a game of top lane Akali!"

After some careful selection, he finally chooses the Akali "Nurse" skin.

Entering the game phase, Ye Bo continues to interact with the endless stream of chat, as if his streaming talent has been ignited; he is like a fish in water.

And at this moment.

Another Sherlock Holmes jumps out in the chat, reporting the ID of the opponent they looked up—discovering that this is actually a 6-pro-player match!

On his side, it's Ye Bo and Zeka in the top and mid lanes.

On the opposing side, there's the current JDG top laner 369, OMG mid laner Creme, TES bot laner JKL, and TT team jungler Beichuan.

"The four pros on the other side are all in their own positions. I have to get serious this game!" Ye Bo jokes.

"It's a pity, the streamer is autofilled and not in mid lane this game."

Creme, nicknamed "Little Cream," is the only LPL mid-laner Ye Bo hasn't played against yet due to the summer season's match schedule.

The unknown is always the most mysterious.

Ye Bo only remembers that this player has also been active for two years and seems to be an "assassin player" famous for playing Sylas, Akali, and Yone.

Come to think of it, he's a bit similar to him.

And this game, Ye Bo picks Akali first, and the opponent immediately counters with Sylas, while Zeka plays Azir.

"I'm counting on the jungler brother to come save me. I'll hold the pressure and wait for my teammates to carry me to a win, alright!"

Unfortunately, 369's idea is shattered at 6 minutes.

The opposing jungler is also very savvy; seeing this ID, he basically camps the top lane. Relying on the super-aggressive top-jungle duo of Nidalee and Renekton, he places significant restrictions on Ye Bo.

But unexpectedly—at 6 minutes, a solo kill happens in the mid lane!

The early-game-weak Azir solo kills Sylas!

Ye Bo, who was forced to recall after being ganked, witnesses this solo kill and comments fairly: "That Sylas made a mistake. Actually, it's not hard for Sylas to cancel Azir's E, because Azir's ultimate is a bit slow to cast... It's actually just a little bit harder than Yone's."

"Oh, why is this Nidalee still here! No..."

Just as he walks between the first and second towers, Akali is camped for a second time by the Nidalee, who hasn't left yet and has already ruined their own team's thousand-point random jungler.

Before his voice even fades, the killing intent rises!

"The true essence of an assassin's assassination is to analyze all conditions of the target and the scene, to think about the space where one can maneuver on the tip of a blade—and then strike decisively!"

Ye Bo thinks, in the previous wave, to force him to recall, Renekton used Flash and Red-Fury W to bite him hard, coordinating with Nidalee.

This means he has one more Flash than them, and his items are relatively superior; at the same time, being between the first and second towers provides terrain advantages.

Starting with a kunai, Renekton E-dashes forward, holding his W to stun, but Akali instantly slips into the Twilight Shroud!

Renekton activates his ultimate, staying glued to Nidalee.

However, Akali's posture in the shroud changes rapidly, her footsteps hugging the edge of the smoke—approaching Nidalee at the limit distance, she instantly A-E's, but doesn't use Q!

Precisely because she didn't use Q, Renekton, holding his W and constantly clicking A+Left Click, couldn't land the stun.

Akali pulls away with Shuriken Flip, disappearing in the shroud for the second time!

But Akali instantly closes the distance again, R-dashing forward, and Renekton instantly locks on... but Akali's figure flickers in mid-air!

A R1-Flash interrupts Akali's dash, pulling her out of the air and making her disappear.

Causing Akali to return to the Twilight Shroud for the third time.

This not only separates Renekton and Nidalee—at the same time, the lethal execute R2, which requires a target to be hit by R1 to be acquired, is already held in her palm!

Nidalee keenly realizes something is wrong and quickly retreats, W-jumping over the wall.

But Akali doesn't play by the rules, nakedly using R2 to dash through the wall, causing Renekton, who wanted to land his W while Akali was in mid-air during her E2, to lose his target once again!

Nidalee is instantly startled into using Flash... but she still has Shuriken Flip attached to her!

The Flash-less Renekton simply couldn't touch a hair on Akali's skin the entire time!

A true "Strike and Retreat"!

The brilliant kill makes the livestream explode with excitement!

As for 369 and Beichuan in front of their screens.

The two of them are truly sweating buckets.

They feel it much more deeply than the audience with the god's-eye view.

Only by truly facing this Akali in person can one feel how strong the oppression is and how great the pressure is!

Not long after, another solo kill happens in the mid lane.

And what's outrageous is that, despite having a favorable matchup, the solo kills are continuous.

The score actually reaches 0-7 very quickly!

This doesn't look like a performance a professional player could put out at all—to the point where Ye Bo can only assume the opponent has "given up."

And Akali, facing the forced targeting from the top and jungle, still manages to open up the situation in one wave, saving her team's ruined jungle.

Combined with the inexplicable infinite reverse solo kills in the mid lane, this match has almost no suspense left.

In the final wave, JackeyLove's Varus is still charging his bow.

As a result, facing the incoming Azir's drift-push—he actually uses a terrible, straight-line, back-turned Flash!

Varus is pushed back upon landing, and is stomped into the mud by Akali while still in the air!

The helpless 369 Renekton, watching the crystal being destroyed, can only spin his blade in place by pressing Ctrl+3.

In the end, he still can't help but complain: "Wait, isn't the mid-laner the biggest boss under pressure? Isn't the pressure supposed to be on me?"

The game ends, and the carnival begins in various livestreams.

"Brother, I really want to laugh. You don't watch Master Ye's streams and matches, right? Master Ye has taught this on stream: you can't be too anxious to Flash backwards when Azir pushes! Viper already demonstrated that last time!"

"Cream? Gutter oil! And Indian gutter oil at that!"

"My evaluation is that he's not even as good as a stray dog on the side of the road. Seriously, stop trying to leech off Master Ye. Even Master Ye's defeated opponent could kick him to death! A pure roadside amateur!"

"Don't be arrogant! It's just ranked, our Little Cream is a high-ceiling player. Wait for revenge in next year's Spring Split!"

"I suggest, maybe Cream should stop playing Summoner's Rift for now and go play Teamfight Tactics to grab a Golden Spatula, and try to assemble a 'Human Trait' first."

"Why didn't the 315 consumer protection show expose him? He's really impersonating a professional player!"

"Heh, Pi Ka can only bully these kinds of LPL trash mid-laners. If he has the guts, come and challenge Master Ye again!"

【?????? Hey, where did the person go!】

"Gone, gone! See you tomorrow, brother."
