Chapter 304: Regular Season Concludes! The Playoff Opponents Can Already Start Studying Us

"Congratulations to V5!" Wawa shouted from the commentary desk.

"In the final match of the regular season, V5 still defeated the surging WBG two-to-one! They are actually maintaining their undefeated golden body in series matches!"

Miller said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity. In the second game, WBG tore open a huge defensive line using TheShy in the top lane. Master Ye's Orianna couldn't wait for her power spike before being restrained by the side lanes and losing the game. I thought they could press their advantage in the third game, but in the end, they still fell to Master Ye's Xerath."

"Speaking of which, it really feels like the hero Orianna is incompatible with V5; it's been this hero both times!"

However, Miller quickly changed the subject: "But then again, I didn't expect Master Ye to have a Xerath hidden up his sleeve! This is such a pleasant surprise for everyone!"

Beside him, Rita nodded in agreement: "Yes, after this hero received a small rework last month, it seems only the LCK's Showmaker Xu Xiu liked to play it recently; I haven't seen other players pick it."

Wawa continued, somewhat excitedly: "That's why I say, what is the most terrifying thing about this player, Master Ye?"

"It's that not only can he research all kinds of strange things, but he can also immediately learn what others develop and research!"

"This is actually the most crucial reason why V5 has not lost a single series all year long!"

【Why is Riot so evil? Even my Brother Xu's only special hero had to be snatched away. Now Brother Xu is truly left with... nothing!】

【Wow, so they really can go undefeated. I feel like this year's V5 really has a chance to walk the Golden Road!】

【Facts have proven once again that Orianna is a trash hero! I suggest sealing her directly into V5's trash can. Even in Master Ye's hands, it seems she only has a 33. 3% win rate. I remember, did they only win one game with her at MSI against G2?】

【Isn't it all the fault of those dog-ass designers? It's clearly targeted!】

【Sigh, I said it long ago, Pi Qiang is the team's only breakthrough point. Even an old horse head could cure him; I dare not imagine what will happen when he meets Zeus and Little Zeus!】

【Who is Zeus? What right does he have to compare with TheShy? What championship has he won!】

A month ago, those two matches by Ye Bo set the trend for the "Electric Knife League."

From the LPL to the LCK, and even to the overseas Western regions, all sorts of monsters and demons of ADCs began to appear—all starting to transition to the mid lane by utilizing the Electric Knife!

Except for the Varus and Kai'Sa used by Ye Bo.

This included, but was not limited to, mid-lane Corki, mid-lane Ezreal, and mid-lane Zeri.

Originally, the designers did not want to change a piece of equipment for two consecutive versions to avoid flip-flopping and slapping themselves in the face in public.

But seeing that the environment had become increasingly "deformed," the designers finally took action.

The version development urgently accelerated the update speed of the "Electric Knife Evolution," directly cutting off the AP attributes of the Electric Knife in the very next version.

At the same time, it significantly weakened the {early-game wave clear ability} and changed the damage to scale with level.

This cut hit the artery; except for heroes who were truly very suitable for it, all the monsters and demons, including "AP LeBlanc," disappeared.

Of course, this did cause quite a stir.

But it wasn't the designers' fault.

On the night the version was released.

The top post on the LCK's largest esports forum, {Xiba Pressure-Resistant Bar}, was prominently topped with a large "YE!!!!!" poster condemning him.

All kinds of LCK fans were shouting, 【Ah Xiba! I was fooled after all!】 【It really was Ye's conspiracy! I said we shouldn't have learned his stuff!!】

And due to the disappearance of the Electric Knife derivatives.

The version suddenly arrived at an "awkward" time.

Because a major version update would occur before the playoffs, it was originally planned that there would be no major changes in this final month of the regular season.

At this time, because Ye Bo's unexpected guidance changed the development of reality, this version experienced a gap period.

This directly led to all teams tacitly letting the mid lane return to the "Great Farming" version that everyone was most familiar with for the final month of the regular season, as a transition.

After all, this is the most "simple" basic skill for the mid lane; regardless of player proficiency or team tactics, there is basically no need to practice anything extra.

It is precisely because of this.

That Ye Bo's second game on Orianna and third game on Xerath were selected.

Ye Bo, who stood up and walked toward the opposing player bench with his teammates, enjoyed the tidal wave of cheers from the audience below, along with the post-match commentary from the broadcast desk.

"From this point on, the teams for the LPL 2023 Summer Playoffs are officially set!"

"Top seeds V5 and JDG will wear the Resurrection Armor and directly land in the top six of the semifinals, waiting for the challengers ahead to reach them step by step, and the final top four teams will represent the LPL in the World Championship!"

"Of course, there is also the matter of the Asian Games roster... The disputes in this year's playoffs will surely be more intense than ever before!"

Hearing this last part.

The V5 and WBG player benches, and even many people watching the live stream in front of their screens, couldn't help but feel moved.

The Asian Games roster has not been fully finalized to this day; it is clearly waiting for the final results of the Summer Split.

On the side of the hot favorite, V5.

Besides the mid-lane position being extremely stable, there are actually still many competitive opportunities for the top and jungle positions.

And the bottom lane is an even more tragic battlefield!

Like WBG's Gala and Crisp, BLG's Elk and On, TES's JKL, JDG's Missing, EDG's Uzi and Meiko, and LNG's Light are all strong contenders!

Everyone is holding their breath.

No one wants to give up what is likely their only chance in a short professional career.

After the handshake session, Coach Danny also walked onto the stage to comfort the team members.

Especially comforting Xiaohu, who was "most severely injured" and also his new favorite player.

"No worries, their ah-yi-xiba flaws! Have already been completely discovered by me!"

"We will absolutely win the playoffs, Xiba!"

Contrary to his gentle and easygoing appearance, Danny's speech and personality were in stark contrast.

And he clearly liked this mid-laner he had personally requested; after speaking, he slapped his palm hard on the five limbs behind Xiaohu.

"Aiya, it's fine, it's fine."

The increasingly round Tiger Vanguard didn't change his expression, using facts in front of the camera to interpret that "the tiger's butt cannot be touched" is purely a rural rumor; he seemed to have an excellent mentality.

In the center of the stage.

Ye Bo was accepting an interview from the host.

"Orianna, actually, it's more of a problem with my own play; it doesn't have much to do with the hero," Ye Bo said as such.

"Of course, we actually have quite a bit of understanding of this hero, and I believe everyone will see it later!"

【? Look at the player bench behind, what is Danny doing】

【Too great, he can even call this his own problem? It was clearly the top laner's full responsibility for being blown up in lane!】

【Understood, he's hiding something; it turns out it was intentional!】

【What does Ye mean! Does he mean that my Great God Team is not worthy of you showing your trump cards!】

【It was a Great God Team when Rookie was here, but what is it now that Xiaohu is here?】

The chat was all very excited, thinking Ye Bo was just saying polite words.

Little did they know, although the hero Orianna does have many problems, she is indeed a "special" existence in V5's tactical reserves.

It's just that the regular season points were already set, and it wouldn't have any impact on the subsequent playoff seeding, so there was no thought of using it in the regular season today.

And afterwards, facing the host's question about the "team's state."

Ye Bo seemed to be hesitant to speak.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

He only said that because of the compressed schedule this month, the schedule was tight, and they often had to work back-to-back, so perhaps the team members were a bit tired and needed to adjust.

Finally, it reached the last segment.

The classic playoff trash talk!

Ye Bo seemed familiar with the process, lifting the microphone with extreme proficiency; he could now say it right off the cuff.

"I think the playoff opponents can already start studying us!"

"As for V5's goal, it remains the same."

The chat hit another climax.

And Ye Bo walked off the stage to join his teammates, preparing to return directly to the base and get a good rest for a few days.
