Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 184, Chapter 181: Leave it to me.

After saying this, Shimamura Yuna remained silent for a while, seemingly waiting for someone else to give her an answer.

But during this brief period of silence, no one dared to speak to her, nor did anyone dare to say anything else.

Everyone just kept silent, afraid of saying something wrong.

The silence was broken once again when Shimamura Yuna spoke again.

"The so-called strongest means that no matter what the opponent's condition, lineup, or tactics are, no matter how strong the opponent is in theory, you must be stronger than the opponent. Only then can you be considered the strongest."

"Why is our Pioneer Tournament championship so controversial? Isn't it because some people think it was an unexpected and accidental victory?"

"We've worked so hard for so long, we've persevered throughout the entire season, constantly trying to improve ourselves and prove to everyone that the miracle of the Pioneer Tournament can be replicated."

"We want to prove that we are not just temporary champions, but rightful and rightful champions."

"Everyone worked so hard to prove this throughout the second stage, but at this crucial moment, they panicked when facing a resurgent T1. Isn't that ridiculous?"

At this point, Shimamura Yuna stood up, walked to the center of the lounge, and looked around at everyone in the lounge.

He continued, "Don't think about 'T1's resilience in a best-of-five series,' or 'the Great Demon King's decisive comeback.' These things are meaningless; they can even be considered urban legends or superstitions."

"It's not because they're T1 that they're inherently more resilient in best-of-five series, nor is it because of Faker's name that they always manage to turn things around. It's because they have a psychological advantage, an ability advantage, and a better mindset in crucial moments compared to other teams, which is why they achieve such results."

"Don't be afraid of losing, and don't think about the consequences of losing."

"Let's not let our lead become a psychological burden for us right now."

"We need to win, but let's not let the desire to win become a burden on our progress."

"Only by facing possible failures with equanimity can we go further and further on the road to success, right?"

At this point, Shimamura Yuna paused, gathering her emotions.

"This may be my last series with CFO. I really, more than anyone else, hope to create a wonderful memory with everyone and end with a good result, rather than looking back years later and having regrets for all of us."

“'If only we had done it that way back then.'”

“'If only we had done it that way back then.'”

"It's pointless to talk about this kind of thing when everything is over. The so-called 'no regrets' means to nip regrets in the bud before they even arise. I don't know if you understand what I mean."

It is rare for Yuna Shimamura to stand up and speak like a spiritual leader.

This kind of thing seems a bit out of character for her.

However, at this moment, seeing this small, somewhat timid girl standing in the center of the training room like a leader, addressing everyone and expressing her opinions, is quite surprising.
But no one found it incongruous or strange.

Everyone will just think the situation is very serious.

That's right, even Shimamura Yuna has spoken out like this, which means the situation is indeed quite serious.

After she finished speaking, the unease and fear that everyone felt could not be completely cured.

After all, this isn't a game.

It's not like if a support character comes out and sings a blessing of courage, everyone's strength and intelligence will increase significantly, and their damage will also increase a lot.

This is unrealistic.

But after Shimamura finished speaking, everyone consciously tried to control their unease.

There's nothing to it as an urban legend.

'Nothing is unacceptable to lose.'

The more afraid you are of losing, the less likely you are to win.

The more afraid you are, the more likely you are to lose.

It was as if everyone was constantly repeating what Shimamura Yuna said in their minds, trying to draw some spiritual strength from it.

This may not actually be useful.

But at least it has a calming effect.

Then, everyone, as if under the "Shimamura Yuna pre-battle speech buff," took to the stage.

The competition officially begins.

Just as Shimamura Yuna had thought.

The reason T1 is able to be resilient in BO5 is not because of reasons that sound idealistic, such as "after all, this is T1" or "after all, Faker is there".

Every outcome has its underlying objective causes.

For example, the reason why T1 is always able to turn the tide when the team is at a disadvantage is because of a calm and composed mindset.

As the highest mountain and the longest river in the game League of Legends.

Faker has seen and heard far too much.

He has climbed to the mountain peaks and also descended into the valleys.

Both of these have been beneficial to Faker.

After experiencing various ups and downs in life and finally winning his fourth championship in S13, Faker and the entire T1 team were completely invincible in terms of mentality.

They have no worries about the future.

No anxiety.

No burden.

Only a simple desire to win was driving them forward.

Therefore, Faker can maintain an absolutely calm mindset no matter what the situation is during a match.

In fact, when he is at a disadvantage, his mindset is often better than that of the side with the advantage.

Because the side with the advantage is always prone to anxiety and fear of losing, especially when the opponent is T1. Just like the CFO, who panicked after a big comeback due to concerns about the so-called urban legend of T1, requiring Shimamura Yuna to give a pre-match speech to stabilize morale.

However, because of Faker's presence, T1 is able to maintain a relatively calm mindset no matter how far the game progresses.

after all
There's nothing left to argue about with T1 these days, isn't there?
Faker has won 5 championships, and T1 has become the undisputed number one team in the League of Legends world.

They don't need to have any psychological burden.

The more critical the moment, the more reckless they become.

Others are losing their temper and making a series of foolish moves.

On the contrary, Faker became more and more energetic and in better form as the game progressed.

This is the truth behind the so-called Faker miracle.

Generally speaking, when the game reaches this point, the CFO tends to panic and lose his composure, while T1 becomes increasingly calm, which could lead to T1 winning the game 3-2.

Unfortunately, today's CFOs are not an ordinary team.

This team includes Yuna Shimamura.

And her existence is like a pillar of stability.

The game starts soon.

In the third game, many of the good heroes for the top lane had already been picked.

Rumble, Aatrox, Jax, Jayce, Wolf Mother, Renekton.

Then, Yorick and Gwent are still banned.

All I can say is that T1 is a team that believes in superstition.

Everyone says that Shimamura Yuna's Shepherd and Gwent are invincible; they won't let you play them even once, they'll ban them from start to finish, they'll never let you play them.

They wouldn't think, "Let's release it and see how it goes."

This has resulted in Shimamura Yuna having an increasingly limited selection of roles to choose from.

Dolan has several strong tank heroes to choose from in the current patch, and T1 is indeed planning to let him pick them (after all, it's better to be pressured when picking a tank than to be fed when picking something else).

However, for the CFO, the fact that the other party was willing to choose tanks is a good thing.

As the game has progressed, many good top lane champions have been banned, and there are fewer and fewer top lane characters that can simultaneously satisfy the requirements of being "strong in the current meta" and "having damage output".

Meanwhile, the overpowered heroes in other positions also disappeared one by one, slowing down the overall pace of the game.

At times like these, some heroes who would otherwise be overlooked suddenly emerge.

That's right, vampires.

After seeing that her opponent picked Quesanti first, Shimamura Yuna immediately countered by picking Vladimir.

This Quesanti was something they intentionally let go of to the other side.

When T1 selected this character, they basically guessed that Shimamura Yuna would choose this vampire.

However, since Yorick and Gwent are already banned, they simply don't have the extra energy to ban Vladimir.

Instead, I'm more inclined to believe that the vampire character isn't strong enough.

In other words, both sides' hero choices were within the other's expectations.

Both sides felt that the other's hero selection was acceptable to them.

On one hand, I feel that the vampire character is not strong. Among the core characters that Shimamura Yuna plays well, it is one that can be released without much harm.

On the other hand, they felt that letting the other side take the tank while they played a vampire and slowly leveled up was not a bad idea.

Both parties felt that their understanding was correct and were very satisfied.

At this point, we'll see whose understanding is correct.

At least from the audience's perspective, they should all think the CFO is right.

"Vampire!!! Shimamura-nee's vampire!"

"Holy crap, you're using Quesanti to fight Shimamura-san's vampire? Isn't that just like spinning a top?"

"Well, that's not necessarily true. Actually, even vampires can't do much to Quesanti. But this is Shimamura-nee's vampire."

And so, with both teams' players and fans uncertain about the outcome, the competition officially began.

Yuna Shimamura didn't actually have confidence that her vampire would be useful.

This character's power spike came too late.

This character's functionality is too weak.

This character lacks the ability to engage in team fights in the early game.

However, she ultimately chose to bring out this role at a crucial moment.

because
Theoretically, this character has a certain advantage when facing tank characters.

However, this theoretical advantage may not necessarily be able to be realized.

That's what the coach said, meaning it's an option worth considering.

But since she's a vampire with exceptional skills...

Then she must be confident that she can make a difference with vampires.

If she lacks confidence, the morale of the entire team will collapse instantly.

Therefore, she answered without hesitation: "Leave it to me."
