Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 202, page 199: Shimamura-nee did her best.
Soon, Shimamura Yuna transformed into Aizen, Muzan, Sukuna, and the priest.
Basically, as long as it's a villain, and a villain with a high level of prestige, Shimamura Yuna's head will be photoshopped onto it.

Gradually, Shimamura Yuna appeared more and more evil, and her persona became increasingly different from her usual image.

Everyone was having a blast with this, and in no time, Shimamura Yuna became the biggest villain on the entire internet.

Perhaps because the meme was really funny, people gradually started to extend its meaning.

It's no longer limited to simply photoshopping the heads of various anime characters to resemble Shimamura Yuna.

Instead, they began to fabricate Shimamura Yuna's motives.

For example, in order to put pressure on AL, Shimamura Yuna deliberately guided public opinion attacks against AL online, causing the members of AL to have a mental breakdown.

For example, AL orchestrated and organized all the cyberattacks against the LPL so far, while remaining firmly behind the scenes.

There are also issues like TheShy's hand injury and Uzi being held back by RNG's contract.
Basically, everything that everyone can and can't imagine was done by Shimamura Yuna.

This meme has evolved to the point that Shimamura Yuna has gone from being a major villain in the gaming community to a female version of Sun Xiaochuan.

You could say he's done every bad thing imaginable, nothing good at all.

From UZI's retirement to JKL's proposed 600 million yuan contract.

From instigating Master Le to instantly kill the dragon.

Yuna Shimamura is a wicked man who commits all sorts of evil deeds.

Coupled with various images of her head photoshopped onto Sukuna and Muzan's bodies, the show's entertainment value was off the charts.

Soon, before the competition even started, these pictures circulated rapidly and spread across the internet.

Now, even Shimamura Yuna's teammates know.

These teammates are all young people who surf regularly.

Imagine this: you're surfing the internet, and suddenly you see your teammate turn into a villain overnight.

They've included all the major villains from various animated films.

Who can handle this?
So, Junjia, who was on good terms with Shimamura Yuna, couldn't help but tease her during training that night: "Hey, Shimamura-neechan, how could you be so mean?"

At this point, Shimamura Yuna had temporarily lost internet access and had no idea what was happening online.

She was momentarily stunned when she heard Junjia say that.

"Huh? What? What happened?"

"Did I do something wrong? What's wrong?"

She thought she had really done something bad to offend Junjia and make her unhappy.

She thought she had unintentionally offended her teammate.

So, he suddenly became very nervous and pressed for answers.

Seeing Shimamura Yuna's innocent appearance, Junjia couldn't help but laugh.

The other teammates who had mobile internet access couldn't help but laugh along.

Oh my, this doesn't look like a villain at all!

Isn't she just an innocent and adorable little girl?
After that, her teammates surrounded Shimamura Yuna and explained what had happened to her, who was completely bewildered.

After hearing everyone's explanation, Shimamura Yuna couldn't hold back any longer.

"Wait, what is this? Isn't this a rumor?"

"How could I be that bad?"

When she learned that these people were creating these works with the intention of "using fans as props," she really couldn't hold back anymore.

No, when did I start using fans as props?
Don't you always think about "meeting the fans' expectations" when you play a game?

Don't you always feel that it's the power of your fans that propels you forward during every competition?
Aside from the fact that I genuinely dislike and don't care much about live streaming, my behavior has absolutely nothing to do with being a "schemer" or "exploiting fans."
Even though she knew everyone was just joking, she was still a little unhappy.

feel
This is just too upsetting.

I felt that my behavior had been misunderstood all along.

They felt that their good intentions were not appreciated, and that their kindness towards their fans was interpreted negatively.

This gave her a sense of disappointment that she and her fans were unable to communicate their feelings to each other.

She knew that perhaps it was her fault.

Perhaps seeing that Shimamura Yuna was really taking this seriously, Junjia and the others changed from teasing her at the beginning to comforting her.

"Alright, Shimamura-nee, don't worry about it. It's not a big deal."

"Everyone actually approves of you, and they use your memes because they like you, not because they dislike you."

"Yeah, there are actually a lot of interesting internet memes, aren't there? If I had those memes, I think I would find it very interesting."

"That's right. Everyone is just trying to be funny because they like you and want to create some interesting content for you. That's why they've all come up with so many funny things for you."

With everyone's combined comforting words, Shimamura Yuna finally shook her head and shook these thoughts out of her mind.

'Fine, villain it is then.'

Perhaps people have some misunderstandings about their own persona, or some unhealthy over-interpretations of their own thoughts.

But one thing is beyond doubt.

That means the majority of fans like and love their idols.

They're just using a special way to generate buzz for themselves.

He wanted to create something more interesting for people to talk about, something that would make him, a relatively uninteresting celebrity on social media, more engaging.

Thinking about it this way made her feel much better.

Then
What Shimamura Yuna did was no different from before.

That is, to fight hard and then repay everyone with the best results.
-
Time passed by unnoticed, and it was December 10th.

That is, the day of the MSI upper bracket final.

In the past two days, CFO defeated two strong teams, T1 and AL, with overwhelming victories, which immediately raised people's rating of the team.

From initially thinking "it'll probably only be a top 4 finalist" to now, before the competition even started, thinking "we could compete for the championship."

Almost everyone now believes that CFO can easily defeat any team except GENG.

Only GENG's team can compete with CFO.

It's something like this now.
Everyone probably knows that GENG has a better chance of winning than CFO.

If people think about this from a rational perspective, they will think that GENG is better than CFO.

However, emotionally speaking, the vast majority of viewers, both domestic and international, support GENG.

GENG only achieved higher approval ratings in South Korea.

Moreover, even in South Korea, due to the large number of T1 fans and the fact that many T1 fans harbor some resentment towards the GENG team, the support rate was not as high as expected.

When the opponent was not an LPL team but a team from the LCP with a Japanese female player, many T1 fans who hated GENG really hoped that CFO would crush GENG.

Before the match, the internet, both domestically and internationally, was flooded with cheers for CFO, with everyone hoping that CFO could defeat GENG and complete a dark horse comeback.

Once inside the competition venue, when it comes to pre-match cheering, if we're talking about which side's fans were shouting "Ahhhh!" louder, then CFO was the clear winner.

Even though GENG is a veteran team, and even though they have top-tier veteran players like Ruler and Chovy, in terms of popularity, they simply can't compete with that. However...
Sometimes, it's not about who shouts the loudest that wins.

This thing is neither a gathering energy blast nor a way to transmit light to Ultraman Tiga.

If you can win, you can win; if you can't, you can't. Strength, mentality, tactics—these are all objective realities.

On July 10, the day the winners' bracket final began, the CFO, who was highly anticipated, failed to achieve the result everyone wanted on the field.

Ultimately, they lost to GENG with a score of 1:3.

Of course, in terms of gameplay, the two teams were quite evenly matched.

There were four games in total, and none of them could be described as a complete rout; each game was very close.

From the perspective of game content, the main issue is that the top lane, which the CFO relies on heavily, is not performing well.

Kiin is unlike any other top laner he has faced in this tournament.

He is not particularly assertive, nor does he have any particularly distinctive characteristics.

In GENG's team, he usually appears to be the most ordinary and unremarkable one.

When casual observers mention GENG, the first people that come to mind are Ruler and Chovy, not Kiin.

However, not being eye-catching doesn't mean he's not strong.

It's more likely due to style.

At least in terms of results, he was like a high-end version of Flandre.

He achieved what AL wanted Flandre to do, but couldn't.

His use of warrior champions really put pressure on Shimamura Yuna in lane, making her uncomfortable to play.

He doesn't just play tanks passively; he can play them with the same skill as Shimamura and leverage the relatively high base damage of tank heroes in the early game to gain an advantage in the laning phase.

His style is very similar to that of veteran top laners like Flandre.

However, their individual competitive performance was better maintained, and their stats were also higher.

In addition, GENG is a team that is not afraid of dragging the game into the late game.

Whether it's Chovy or Ruler, these are characters who can provide a safety net later on.

To put it bluntly, what's wrong with letting KIIN play with meat?

You can farm and reach the late game in the top lane, but I can't do that in the mid and bot lanes?

You can play heroes with late-game potential, but I, GENG, can't?
It can be said that compared to CFO, GENG is a team with a very similar style, but with much higher stats.

Moreover, letting the mid lane carry carry is definitely more reasonable than letting the top lane carry carry.

This means that when the CFO is playing against AL, he can rely on Flandre, the shortest support, to break through.

However, when it came to GENG, he seemed somewhat powerless because his own strengths couldn't match the opponent's.

After a fierce four-game battle, GENG emerged victorious with a score of 1-3 and advanced to the finals, while CFO was relegated to the loser's bracket.

Actually, this result was pretty much in line with the pre-match predictions.

Before the match, most people thought that the two teams were evenly matched and either one could win or lose.

Moreover, regardless of who wins, the outcome is unlikely to be easy.

The results have validated this view.

Although the score was 3-1 and the game wasn't played to its full potential, GENG's three wins were not easy.

Many of Yuna Shimamura's fans naturally felt very sorry about this.

Sigh, I felt like I had a chance; all three losses were by such a small margin.

Chovy and Ruler are still too amazing; they can perform well in every game.

[I said Sammus performed worse than Junjia, does anyone understand?]

The biggest problem seems to be that Shimamura is being dominated by Kiin. In this team, Kiin doesn't really need to do that much. It doesn't matter if he just picks a tank and goes against Shimamura, because the mid and bot lanes will always have an impact. Shimamura simply can't get ahead in development.

It's not that Shimamura can't develop ahead of the game; it's that Chovy can develop ahead just like Shimamura. Moreover, Chovy is more effective at farming resources in the mid lane than Shimamura is in the top lane, and there are more core champions in the mid lane.

[Sigh, it seems the CFO is indeed the strongest, but his style is somewhat restrained by the GENG.]

Some of Yuna Shimamura's fans expressed rational regret and felt sorry for her.

Then, someone came out and popped the champagne.

It's worth noting that Shimamura Yuna's fans have actually offended quite a few people.

Many people also dislike them.

These people can't win with their own team, so of course they'll have to rely on other teams.

Let's not worry about which team it is.

Let alone the South Korean team or the Chinese team.

If anyone can beat Shimamura Yuna, then everyone will like you!

So, many people started popping champagne at this point.

[Is Shimamura Takako still calling out? Can the HX army still speak?]

Support the anti-Japanese war hero GENG! Koreans are our brothers!

[GENG is awesome! They crushed the Japanese team! As a Chinese person, I have a deep-seated hatred for Japan, and I support the Koreans!]

[Anti-Japanese War Hero Geng! Anti-Japanese War Hero Geng!]

Whether these people are truly patriotic or not is, of course, quite obvious.

But netizens don't care about the truth.

Moreover, it is obvious to anyone with eyes that the CFO has done his best.

Or rather, any team that can compete with GENG to this extent should no longer be slandered or insulted.

GENG is the real favorite to win this competition.

The audience has discerning eyes, and the remarks of these clowns are destined to be unsupported.

【CFO再怎么也是跟GENG1:3，而且赢了T1一个3:1，还把你AL打成3:0。有些人在哪上窜下跳的真好笑】

[Some people don't seem to realize that CFO is a wildcard team. Reaching this point and winning the finals already puts them far ahead of the LPL. Stop indulging in self-consolation.]

[In a post-match interview, GENG said that CFO's improved performance made him the toughest opponent they had ever faced, while some people's favorite teams were simply crushed 3-0, and he didn't even bother to mention it.]

[Leaving aside the fact that the loser's bracket hasn't even started yet, and there's a high probability that CFO and GENG will have a rematch, even with their current results, they're still a team that some teams can't pull off. I don't know what some people are getting so excited about.]

Yes, although they lost, some people's attempts to launch a public attack on the CFO are completely unsuccessful.

Because there is simply no valid basis for attacking the CFO.

In this parallel world, the AI ​​has already learned to win all the championships.

And the CFOs of this world have also learned to strive to be champions.
