Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 205, Question 202: You really have a cheat code?
But what the audience didn't know was that Shimamura Yuna's seemingly effortless parry was actually a gamble.

She wasn't as relaxed as she seemed.

Even at the moment she successfully blocked the shot, her heart was trembling with nervousness.

'It really blocked it!'

That's right, she wasn't trying to match Dolan's reflexes with her attention.

Sion's Q is so difficult to activate with just a quick reaction; the frame rate is just too short. Only the most skilled players can time it perfectly.

Although Shimamura Yuna is very focused, her attention problem is not completely resolved even with long-term medication.

Even though my physical condition is much better now than it was six months ago.

However, in terms of reaction speed, she still doesn't have the level that a typical prodigy mid-laner should have.

She is not a young person.

It's just average, nothing special.

So, how did she do it?

The answer is simple: a guess.

She was guessing.

From the moment she entered the game, she realized that her intimidation would prevent Sion from exceeding the stun threshold, and that he would definitely use the most conservative approach to gamble with her.

If his charge bar remains below the value required for stun, then there is no point in playing the game.

Yuna Shimamura made a judgment from the very beginning.

Given Doran's past performance with Fiora, he certainly wouldn't dare to raise the charge bar to a level that could stun the enemy.

He will definitely feel anxious about playing against himself.

They feared repeating the mistakes of Zeus.

I'm afraid I'll be crushed again by my own urban legend script Fiora.

He will be very cautious.

He will definitely only use a lot of short Qs, and won't frequently charge up long Qs.

There's only one possibility he'll experience this dizziness.

That is, after placing several ambiguous short Qs that slow down the opponent, the opponent tries to take advantage of the moment when the opponent's attention is not focused, and then charges up a Q that just exceeds the limit of slowing down and stuns the opponent to steal the opponent's move.

This is the only possibility.

She didn't know if her guess was right, but she treated it as the right guess and acted on it as the right action.

Gambling began at that time.

Therefore, she didn't focus on Sion's Q action at all; she focused on Sion's charge-up time.

She had planned from the beginning that she would release Sion's Q as soon as it exceeded the charge bar required for the stun.

Then all I need to do is keep an eye on Sion's charge bar.

So, just as Sion's Q charged for longer than the time required for the stun, Doran predictably let go.

Shimamura pressed W almost instantly.

The two operations were almost completely simultaneous.

As a result, Sion was ultimately deflected.

This is purely a psychological game.

In this psychological game, Shimamura Yuna won.

However, from a visual perspective, this is not a game of strategy at all.

It was a miracle.

It seems that there is a spirit inside Shimamura Yuna's keyboard, and this spirit is controlling all of Shimamura Yuna's actions.

Or
Yuna Shimamura is the miracle itself.

'How could she possibly do that?'

'How is it possible to do something like this?'

The moment Dolan successfully blocked the shot, his mentality began to waver.

He began to believe that those myths and legends were true.

He began to struggle with the decision.
'Is Shimamura Yuna really that strong?'

'Is she really that amazing?'

But at this point, his psychological defenses had not completely collapsed.

Because so far, this is the only charged Q he has actually used.

This could just be a coincidence.

What if?
What if?
What if he changes the charging time later and hits?
What if Shimamura Yuna was actually guessing that he would attack as soon as he had charged up enough to stun him, and that's why she was gambling?

What if we just happened to be right on the bet?
His idea was actually correct.

But
'After being parried once, this guy will definitely try to retaliate against me.'

'He'll definitely try changing the charging time to test its feasibility.'

That's right, Shimamura Yuna had already guessed this step.

It should be said that it was the same as when he faced Zeus last time.

Once Doran succeeds in the first game, all his subsequent thoughts and actions fall into Shimamura Yuna's mental trap.

As long as he continues to think and try to break the deadlock, all his ideas are actually being intentionally guided by Shimamura Yuna.

Yuna Shimamura would try to guess his thoughts.

then
Once again, Shimamura Yuna guessed the right moment for him to release Q.

The odds of winning this time are actually very small.

Because Shimamura Yuna could only guess that he would release a Q skill that was charged up enough to stun at a different time than last time.

However, the exact timing cannot be as precise as "releasing it just after the dizziness is sufficiently intense".

We can only narrow it down to a general range, but the specific timing of placing W still requires guessing based on intuition.

However, it might just be a stroke of good fortune.

Yuna Shimamura guessed right once again.

He unleashed his W skill almost simultaneously with Sion's Q.

It was another parry, seemingly scripted. But a scripted parry might just be luck.

But twice, that really does seem like a serious mistake.

The audience was truly dumbfounded upon seeing this.

The Dragon God was dumbfounded.

"No way, holy crap, is she really cheating? No way, she can bounce Sion's Q 100% of the time? How the hell is she doing that?"

"No, what's going on?"

The emotions of the audience and the commentators are not important.

It has no impact on the game, and the course of the battle will not be altered.

The key point is that Doran's thinking was completely thrown into disarray by this second block.

He fell into a state of complete self-doubt.

Am I really that much worse than her?

'Is everything about me really so superficial and easily seen through in her eyes?'

'Is it really true that I can't beat her no matter what?'

Self-doubt is poison.

Lack of self-confidence is a weapon that Shimamura Yuna can use against her.

The more accurately Shimamura Yuna guesses his thoughts, the narrower his possible range of ideas becomes, and his thinking is guided.

If the success rate of the first game is 50%, then the success rate of the second game is 55%.
Then, with each round of competition, the success rate will increase.

Because the scope of thinking will become narrower and narrower, and will be guided deeper and deeper by Shimamura Yuna.

At this point, Doran needs to break free from the mental trap that Shimamura Yuna has set for him; he must clear and reset his mind.

Realize that this is a very simple game.

A game that doesn't require too much thought.

In this way, it becomes a game of equal probability, rather than a psychological game.

However, what Zeus could not do, Dolan could not do either.

Even in terms of mentality, Dolan is clearly inferior to Zeus.

He became increasingly panicked as he realized that no matter what he did, he was doing it wrong.

He began to believe that all of Shimamura Yuna's myths and legends were true.

He began to doubt that he and Shimamura Yuna were on the same level.

From that moment on, not only in the battle between Sion's Q and Fiora's W, but in every detail of the game, he would make mistakes and omissions.

It should be said that Dolan is a pretty good player.

In terms of both fundamental skills and potential, he is definitely among the top in the LCK.

Even though they are criticized every year for being weak in the World Championship, they are good brothers of the LPL.

However, he is still active in top LCK teams, and even after Zeus left, T1 immediately thought of him.

There are reasons for this.

In fact, he is not a bad top laner.

However, his mindset hindered his development.

For example, in a similar situation last time, although Zeus was a bit stunned by Shimamura Yuna's attack, he was actually just suffering from the information gap and was just a bit stubborn and didn't believe in evil.

His performance was not significantly affected.

If you can't beat them, you simply can't beat them.

Kodolan is different.

As he suffered losses in the early laning phase, his mentality gradually changed, and so did his gameplay.

Then it's no longer a defeat in the game.

It was a complete failure.

From last-hitting to minion wave control to operational details.

A complete and utter defeat, leaving not a trace, not even a bit behind.

Then, a familiar scene appeared.

Shimamura Yuna's single-point breakthrough is once again on display.

From the audience's perspective, they don't understand the complex reasons behind it.

They didn't know why Shimamura Yuna won, nor why Dolan lost.

They only understood one fact: Shimamura Yuna's Fiora was indeed amazing.

Her Fiora pick is a guaranteed counter to Sion's Q, making her an absolute counter to Sion.

This is a myth.

However, myths all need a reason to appear.

Just as when ancient people saw things they couldn't understand, they would try to understand them in a supernatural way, which then formed myths passed down from generation to generation.

Shimamura Yuna's performance after acquiring Fiora was also incomprehensible to many.

why?

Why is it that Fiora, a champion whose stats are so low that she's universally disliked and there's practically no reason to pick her, feels so different when Shimamura Yuna gets her?

Why is it that as soon as Shimamura Yuna picks Fiora, she can turn some so-called counters that only exist in theory into complete reality?

Why is Shimamura Yuna so authoritative?

No one can know.

Nobody knows what happened.

Therefore, everyone can only simply attribute all of this to the myth that "Shimamura-san really seems to have a cheat code".

Holy crap, Shimamura's Fiora is way too overpowered!

【I'm Dolan, I already want to order.】

I need to send a message in the public chat asking the other side to report me.

[BIN's Camille is an urban legend, but Shimamura's Fiora is not.]
