Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 198, Section 195: The Natural Result

Compared to other heroes that Shimamura Yuna likes to play, the Weapon Master is a character that is quite different from her usual playstyle.

This character has a short reach, so they can't use their attack range to kite the opponent.

At the same time, there are no dominant stats in the early game, so you need to be careful when laning.

This character requires a high level of proficiency in the current version to be able to hold their own against some popular heroes in lane.

Against a monster like Renekton in the early game, Jax's performance in the laning phase can only be described as terrible.

It was precisely because she understood these things that Shimamura Yuna abandoned the strategy of dominating in this game and instead chose to play it safe, focusing on last-hitting minions and ensuring her own development.

They were arguing with the attitude of "You've already chosen the crocodile, so what am I supposed to say?"

It's normal for weapons to be unable to beat crocodiles in the early game.

So she chose to trust her teammates and just do her job well.

However, as any League of Legends player knows, Jax is indeed no match for Renekton in the early game, but as time goes on and the item gap isn't significant, Jax's win rate against Renekton in one-on-one situations will gradually increase.

The game gradually shifted from a situation where the player couldn't beat the crocodile in the early stages to a situation where the crocodile couldn't kill the Jax with a single combo, and then the Jax would chase and beat the player to death with his equipment.

If this is the case when equipment is the same, then it's even more true when equipment is different.

That's right. When the situation is deadlocked and teammates encounter problems, Flandre tends to help them rather than farm in lane.

Yuna Shimamura, on the other hand, did the opposite and played her game in a very unique way.

When a teammate is in trouble, her first reaction is definitely not to lean on the teammate's side.

It's always my teammates fighting while I'm pushing lanes, and when my teammates die, I'm left eating their trash with tears in my eyes.

All team battles, all battles that require mobilizing other players, are actually a time for her to slowly develop and catch up with the crocodile's development.

AL also knew that the CFO would act this way.

But it's almost impossible for them to stop the Weapon Master.

After all, they've already paid the price of being one person less in the future, so what more do you want?

Are you going to let them lose just because they don't come out in person?

Or, to put it another way, do you want your crocodile to be like a weapon, never facing it head-on, but instead always going against it and trying to suppress it?
It is not impossible.

But AL clearly doesn't want to do that.

After all, one of the biggest advantages of the Crocodile character is its strong fighting power in the early and mid-game. If you play Crocodile and don't play well in the early and mid-game, it's like giving up your biggest advantage and playing against the opponent in the mid and late game.

Although many videos now prove that the champion Renekton is actually very strong in the late game and is not a super minion.

However, the 5v5 match and the video recording only consider the 1v1 win rate are different.

In a competitive game, it's unlikely that a crocodile would specifically build a Golden Body to avoid critical damage, delay rage accumulation, and optimize skill rotation.

From a practical standpoint, this is a hero who becomes more and more powerful the longer the game goes on, and you have to make him effective as soon as you have one or two core items. There's not much controversy about that.

So this is almost an open conspiracy.

It's a scheme you know all too well, but it's difficult to come up with any reliable feedback about it.

The only way to counter this is to put enough pressure on Jax in the top lane while he's playing solo, making his teammates uncomfortable.

Or, to put it another way, sometimes you have to strategically give up some neutral resources and some early-game resource groups to gank a solo Weapon Master.

The point is to make the CFO pay the price for their decisions.

However, judging from the results, AL performed very poorly in this regard.

With Shimamura Yuna absent from the forefront for a long time, the pressure they put on the CFO, while not nonexistent, was clearly not at a level the CFO could handle.

So, the result was...
Despite CFO being at a slight disadvantage throughout the early and mid-game, Jax's solo economy gradually surpassed that of Renekton.

Right after the laning phase ended, Renekton's CS was the same as Jax's.

But as the game progressed, the crocodile's last hit count was surpassed by Jax by dozens of CS.

The situation suddenly shifted into a rhythm that the CFO greatly enjoys and that his audience is very familiar with.

The CFO has consistently maintained a slightly inferior overall performance.

But
Yuna Shimamura's fighting strength continues to grow!

This means that the CFO's game plan is being executed very smoothly.

Yuna Shimamura, the weapon master, continues to grow stronger.

Regardless of how minor the team's disadvantages may seem.

No matter how stressful the situation may seem.

However, as long as Shimamura Yuna is working on a promising role and her development is not significantly affected, the audience will feel a sense of security.

All it takes is a spark, a symbolic signal, to ignite everything and completely tip the scales in the CFO's favor.

Similar scenes have played out countless times in previous CFO competitions.

Yuna Shimamura is still alive, so what makes you think the CFO has already lost?

Waiting for Shimamura-san's three-piece set!
The turning point that truly disrupted the situation occurred very quickly.

As Shimamura Yuna's equipment continued to expand, AL gradually felt that almost no one could handle Shimamura Yuna's split pushing anymore.

At the beginning, all you need to do is have Crocodile go up against the Weapon Master. Crocodile alone can handle Shimamura Yuna's split pushing.

However, as the equipment gap widened and the Renekton's damage output in the mid-to-late game became insufficient to pose a threat to Jax, he gradually lost the ability to even compete on equal footing with Jax in a solo lane.

It should be said that it's not just crocodiles.

Because the CFO's resources were too heavily concentrated on Shimamura Yuna, none of the five members of the AL lineup dared to even glance at the Weapon Master in a 1v1 situation.

To deal with the Weapon Master, you need two or more people.

Furthermore, it cannot be a combination of mid laner + support or top laner + support.

Only by simultaneously securing two positions that benefit from economic advantages can a weapon master pose a threat.

Otherwise, he'll just have to wait to be killed twice by Shimamura Yuna in a 1v2 situation.

They were gradually becoming increasingly constrained by Shimamura Yuna's lead, and they needed to allocate more manpower to manage Shimamura Yuna's solo lead.

At this point, it's necessary to deliver a heavy blow to this weapon master.

But this is exactly what the CFO wants.

When AL attacked the Weapon Master, they knew that CFO's other teammates were probably counter-ganking in the top lane, and they knew that CFO's other teammates would most likely come to their aid immediately.

When the CFO was helping the Weapon Master counter-gank, he knew that this gank on the Weapon Master was definitely not done by one or two people, but by many people.

A team fight is about to break out in the top lane, revolving around ganks and counter-ganks against the Weapon Master.

"Shimamura-nee, the enemy is going to gank you this wave, be careful!"

"I know."

"The enemy jungler and bot laner haven't been seen for a while, and we're here too, but you have to be careful not to get caught out first. If you get caught out and instantly killed, this team fight is over."

"I know."

"Good to know. You need to figure out how to make a move this time. We can only fight if you can make a move."

I don't know why.
The team fight hasn't even started yet.

Despite the overall economic disadvantage, Shimamura Yuna had an unwavering intuition that she would win.

She felt as if she could foresee every action AL would take.

I guessed all the reactions AL would make.

Even though the jungle area wasn't fully lit up, based on the last movement the opponent left on the map, she felt she could deduce their next moves with a high probability.

How will the opponent make their moves? How will the opponent organize their attack?
My mind was clearer than ever before, and I frantically simulated the other party's possible behavior.

After Shimamura Yuna advanced to a certain position on the lower route, the enemy personnel appeared as expected.

The first enemy Braum to appear in her field of vision was the enemy's Braum.

Next came the crocodile.

Following behind in the blind spot were the jungler and the AD carry.

Although the mid laner may appear to be clearing the wave in the mid lane, they only need one TP to come over and provide support.

AL has formed a pincer movement against Shimamura Yuna, determined to kill her and prevent her from surviving.

Even the audience's Dragon God tensed up upon seeing this scene.

"Holy crap, Shimamura is going to get killed! She can't die this time, or we're doomed."

"Anyone on this team can die now, but Shimamura-nee cannot die!!! If Shimamura-nee dies, then we're truly finished!"

"Why the hell did everyone come? Will Shimamura-nee know? Will she know???"

Does Shimamura Yuna know this?
The answer, of course, is that she knows everything.

With the game progressing to its current state, for the CFO, victory is inevitable as long as no mistakes are made.

This team fight triggered by the gank on Shimamura Yuna was essentially AL's last stand against this slow, agonizing end.

But since it is resistance, it means they are at a disadvantage.

For the disadvantaged side to win, they must play better than the advantageous side.

The party that needs the advantage should take the initiative to create opportunities, while the party that needs the advantage should make mistakes.

But now, Shimamura Yuna
She's terrifyingly strong!
She will not make any mistakes!

"Braum's Flash R was dodged by Shimamura's Flash, Shimamura reacted!"

"Q was also twisted by Shimamura-nee, and now without slowing down, the crocodile can't touch Shimamura-nee!"

"Everyone else from the CFO's side is on their way. Can AL deal with Shimamura Yuna before the others arrive? If not, then this is a huge problem!!!"

Yuna Shimamura didn't do anything particularly special.

She had already planned out the best escape and avoidance route in her mind beforehand.

She simply took advantage of the opportunities to twist and dodge skills while executing these routes.

But just by doing these things, you can put a lot of pressure on AL.

Flash to dodge Braum's R, then reposition to dodge Braum's Q, and then jump to the ward to create distance.

This maneuver effectively rendered Braum's impact in this wave negligible.

At the same time, without Brûlée's clinginess, the crocodile couldn't immediately bite down, thus gaining control and harm over Shimamura Yuna.

He could only unleash his ultimate move, walking towards Shimamura Yuna with a threatening posture and while gathering his anger.

He wanted to unleash all his damage the moment he could touch Shimamura Yuna, fulfilling his mission in this team fight.

but.
It's too late.

When Braum failed to control Shimamura Yuna in the first wave, and when the team killed Shimamura Yuna with the help of Renekton's control and the output of other teammates, the outcome of this team fight was already decided.

It's fair to say that the moment the ultimate ability missed, everything that followed in that team fight was just garbage time.

With the arrival of the CFO and her other teammates, Shimamura Yuna stopped hiding.

He immediately coordinated with his support's initiation, then jumped in and used his ultimate to start dealing damage to the crocodile.

And so everyone witnessed just how terrifying a fully equipped Weapon Master can be in team battles.

It has decent burst damage, decent sustained damage, and decent tankiness.

Combined with the chasing ability provided by the Q skill.

This weapon master stood at the very front of the team, like a god of war.

The only way to deal with her is to focus fire and kill her before the team fight, or try to reduce her health to a level where she can't participate in the team fight.

AL tried, but failed.

The price of failing to effectively focus fire on Shimamura Yuna in the first wave was that the Weapon Master became completely invincible in subsequent team fights.

"Holy crap, Shimamura-san has started hitting! Shimamura-san's lampposts are hurting so much!!"

"The crocodile was completely overwhelmed and couldn't retaliate; it had to make a move!"

"But Shimamura-san is still chasing! Shimamura-san is still putting up the fight! Shimamura-san is still putting up the fight!"

"It doesn't hurt! It doesn't hurt! Hitting Shimamura-nee is useless, Shimamura-nee's weapon mastery is too tanky!"

"AL suffered a complete defeat; they were no match for the CFO!"

"It's over again, it's all over!!! AL, our LPL's number one seed, is about to be swept 3-0!!!"

Amidst the passionate commentary of the Dragon God, Shimamura Yuna, with the help of her teammates, launched a relentless pursuit of AL.

AL is still working on it.

But nothing could stop the CFO team from advancing triumphantly and unstoppably.

This victory is an inevitable result of the macro-level situation developing to this point.

Extreme micro-level operations may be able to reverse the macro-level situation.

But AL failed to do so.

Therefore, defeat is the only natural outcome.

The subsequent team fights didn't feature any particularly spectacular plays.

Or rather, for Shimamura Yuna, it's simply not necessary right now.

Through this team fight, she conveyed only one message to the audience: when the Weapon Master has a full item advantage, he is truly both tanky and deals high damage!
"Come on, let's chase! Chase! Chase!"

"Save them! Save them! Save them! If we keep them, we can wipe them all out!"

"We can't let them escape. Winning this round basically decides the outcome of the game. We can't let them get away!"

The teammates were incredibly excited, but in essence, their response boiled down to one thing: "Keep him here."

Yuna Shimamura responded with only one sentence.

She said calmly, "I know."

"I will."

The weapon master, unleashing a counterattack storm, strikes like the Grim Reaper, launching a leaping slash at the enemy's back row.
