Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 215, Section 212: I Want to Win

Shimamura Yuna hasn't said anything yet.

In her view, this was just a very ordinary tactical decision made by GENG.

After all, whichever team plays against Shimamura Yuna will face many restrictions in the draft phase, which is inherently a bit uncomfortable.

In the current version, top lane is not a high priority, and the main draft strategy is concentrated in the mid and jungle.

Taliyah, Azir, Twisted Fate—these are the heroes that every strategist must contend for.

As a result, when they faced the CFO, all the teams banned top laners, placing a high priority on the top lane draft, which was quite strange.

They believe they don't need to ban their own heroes.

They believed that getting their chosen hero wouldn't have a significant impact on the battle.

Then, adjustments were made.

This is a perfectly normal thing.

But
If you have made that judgment, you must take responsibility for your choice.

Yes, GENG certainly made his own judgment and decision.

There's no need to be angry.

There's no need to feel that this is disrespectful.

Or rather, since you feel that this is a choice made by the other party that disrespects you.

Then
Let's use our strength to make them pay the price for their disrespect.

Throughout the entire process, Shimamura Yuna maintained a calm demeanor, sitting quietly in her chair.

Following the coach's instructions, I selected my hero.

Ultimately, the first matchup in the top lane was confirmed.

It's Kiin's Jax against Shimamura's Gwent.

Judging from the hero selection alone, these two heroes are quite similar in nature.

They are all top lane heroes who need to farm gold, and they have some tankiness, but not much.

Both damage output and battlefield presence are heavily reliant on equipment.

However, in terms of the "lightweight heavy core" positioning, Gwen might be more inclined to be a "pure heavy core", while Weapon Master has a bit of functionality.

Or to put it another way, you can't really count on Jax for dealing damage.

Basically, in team fights, your role is to jump in and bite the enemy's squishy targets a couple of times. If you get focused down, use your E and ultimate to tank for a while. If you can't tank anymore, use Zhonya's Hourglass to stall for a bit longer. If you can't stall, try to disengage and wait for your second E skill to continue tanking damage.

If you can withstand the first wave of damage and your teammates have dealt enough damage, you can come back and finish them off.

However, this character, in general, does not have the ability to stand in front and kill all the opponents directly.

No matter how good the equipment is, it will still be difficult.

It has a certain ability to harvest kills, a certain ability to withstand damage on the field, and a certain ability to deal damage directly.

However, in the current version, this thing can achieve more than half of its effect by jumping in, using its ultimate and E to withstand a full combo; as for damage output, that's just extra benefit.

Therefore, compared to Gwen, this character is more functional.

But Gwen is different.

Compared to weapons, this thing is much less resistant to damage; a large part of its damage resistance comes from converting damage into life steal.

At the same time, this character himself has no control over his/her actions.

In other words, compared to weapons that have certain functionalities and don't require mandatory output in team battles, it's much more demanding for Gwen to be effective.

Without damage, there is no damage resistance; without damage resistance, there is no effect.

But while the requirements are demanding, the rewards are also higher.

Compared to Gwen's teamfight AOE generation ability, Jax is far inferior.

Although both players chose light warriors, their hero selections revealed their different roles within the team.
Yuna Shimamura is the one in the team who consumes resources and deals damage.

Kiin is the one who provides a safety net for the team, works tirelessly, and achieves maximum functionality with minimal resources.

So, will the team's shield gain the upper hand, or will the team's sword prevail?

That remains to be seen in the actual results.
However, letting Gwen out in the first set actually put some pressure on the public.

after all
This is a hero that Shimamura Yuna acknowledges as overpowered; she usually won't let him go unless she can grab him first.

Everyone felt that once Shimamura Yuna was chosen, it meant that even with the meta being dominated by her, she was still Shimamura Yuna's signature hero.

He is a true scissor vampire, a vampire who has completely risen to power and is even more powerful than a vampire.

However, GENG, the blue team, didn't pick the hero first; instead, they gave it to GENG directly.

Was it a case of underestimating their opponent, or were they genuinely confident in handling the role of Shimamura Yuna?
That's hard to say for sure.

The commentator said, "GENG chose to give Shimamura Yuna's most beloved hero to her. So, is this character really as powerful as everyone fears?"

"The key to this game is whether Shimamura Yuna's Gwen in the top lane is actually useful."

is that useful?
Yuna Shimamura didn't know.

But
I will try.

Judging from the last match, KIIN was as steady as a mountain.

His stability comes from two aspects.

On the one hand, he is indeed experienced on the road, knows how to reduce conflict, knows how to handle details well, and also knows how to do the dirty work.

Secondly, he really doesn't have time pressure.

One reason why many teams can't beat CFOs is that they are under time pressure.

The longer the game dragged on, the stronger the late-game lineup chosen by the CFO became, and the more effective the top lane became.

That's why they're anxious.

However, rushing won't break Shimamura Yuna's lane; instead, it will give her an opportunity to counterattack, revealing weaknesses and allowing Shimamura Yuna to widen the gap.

This is the greatest significance of Shimamura Yuna's existence.

As a top laner, she can increase the team's late-game safety.

But KIIN isn't afraid of that.

Because their mid-to-lower rank employees are no less secure than the CFO in the later stages.

In other words, on the one hand, KIIN himself is quite strong and knows how to get by.

Furthermore, GENG is a very strong team and can still perform well.

That's the ultimate mess, practically unsolvable.

What Shimamura Yuna had to do was quite simple.
First, being anxious won't help.

Even if we're in a hurry, we can't break Kiin's shell, we can't break through his defense.

The more anxious you are, the more flaws you reveal.

All I need to do is maintain my own style.

Then, maintain your position in lane.
As for the time pressure...
I choose to trust my teammates.

Yes, ultimately, the reason why GENG has no time pressure is because their mid and bottom lanes are too strong.

If the mid and lower tiers are too strong, they can provide a safety net, and the top tier will naturally not have time pressure.

However, I'm leaving this problem to be solved alone, and to bear this pressure all by myself.
Is it reasonable?
Actually, if she could, she would of course wish she were Superman.

I hope that I can use my personal strength to change the fate of the entire team.

I hope to break the team's slump by making a breakthrough in one area.

However, there are times when human strength has its limits.

If even pushing your limits doesn't allow you to do things beyond your capabilities, then...
Rather than being anxious, rather than forcing yourself to do something you're not even capable of doing.

It's better to maintain a good mindset.

This is beyond my control.

That's right, that's the correct way to think about it.

The current GENG is essentially a team more likely to win. They have stronger players, a stronger training team, and are better suited to the current version of the game.

Their practice matches were more effective.
They are a team that deserves to win.

If they can win, if they can take this game, then they will have broken the "taken-for-granted" rule.

This means that the CFO performed exceptionally well.

This extraordinary performance was definitely not something he did alone.

It is everyone, it is all people.
It was the collective desire of everyone on the team to win that enabled them to unleash such extraordinary talent.

So what I need to do is "wait and have expectations".

Yes, that’s it!
I will trust my teammates.

With that in mind, she began her online battle today.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In GENG's team, KIIN, as the top laner, received very simple instructions.

'Just don't make any mistakes.'

It should be said that this was not a tactic they used against the CFO.

Rather, since the GENG team formed its current roster this year, and since he joined GENG, he has had no real status within the team.

But KIIN didn't care.

In any team, someone has to make a sacrifice.

Why can't it be yourself?
Whether it's grades or money, once you've got these things, the process and whether you stood out are no longer important.

It just so happens that his usual position within the team is effective in venting his anger when facing Shimamura Yuna.

He had a feeling almost every time he fought against Shimamura Yuna.

This team focused too much on nurturing the top laner, which put a lot of pressure on them.

He could sense that Shimamura Yuna really wanted to push her limits.

He could sense that his opponent wanted to break through his defense.

He had originally prepared to meet Shimamura Yuna's attack, intending to use his superior defense to overwhelm her and leave her helpless.

However.
'She gave up the attack?'

Yes.

Shimamura Yuna, who had always been determined to dominate him online, changed her style in this competition.

She was no longer in a hurry to attack.

It seems they've shifted their focus to getting more kills and controlling the line more securely.

She doesn't care how many hits she has in a matchup, or how much she has to out-damage the opponent.

She only cared about finishing off her enemies.

As long as I'm fat, that's fine.

As long as my development is normal, that's fine.

She seemed to have complete confidence that once she developed, even if KIIN's weapon master was at a similar development level, he would definitely not be as useful as her.

When the game objective changed, Shimamura Yuna actually gained an advantage in the laning phase.

Control the minion wave to avoid being ganked.
Focus on farming the minions in front of you.

And this is her absolute comfort zone.

She was originally known as the top laner Chovy.

A woman who can develop and take over the later stages of life no matter what.

She's someone who can ensure her team's development no matter how badly her teammates mess up or how disadvantaged they are.

When Shimamura Yuna decided to abandon the early-game dominance style she had honed throughout the entire season and revert to her old Shimamura Yuu-kun form, she began to focus on farming and playing the late game.
At least for this purpose, no one can stop her.

On one hand, this made KIIN exclaim, "This guy is no ordinary person."

However, he also has a question.

"Does she really think she can win like this?"

CFO's mindless top lane-focused strategy was indeed very effective in the first stage of the game.

But since even the champions themselves have begun to actively change this approach and seek change.

That means this approach has its flaws.

A strategy with inherent flaws that doesn't work against weaker teams, how can it possibly work against a team like GENG?

No matter how you look at it, it's impractical.

Positionally speaking, the mid and bottom lanes are naturally more suited to taking over the game than the top lane.

With GENG having two incredibly strong cores capable of taking over the game, CFO has absolutely no advantage in the late game.

'Does she think she'll be more useful than Chovy and Ruler later on?'

Despite harboring these doubts, KIIN continued his verbal sparring with Shimamura Yuna without feeling any pressure.

He wasn't nervous at all.

After all, he only needs to do his own job.

This is GENG
It is a team with one of the top two center positions in South Korea.

All I need to do is be the perfect blue-collar worker.

Is that so?
KIIN was wrong.

From the very beginning, Shimamura Yuna never expected herself to be able to turn the tide like FS.

From the very beginning, she did not expect that her personal heroism would be enough to defeat GENG.

One's own strength is insufficient to win the game against GENG through individual heroism.

She already knew this.

But
A miracle is when everything goes according to plan and achieves the best possible outcome.

Once you've done what you're supposed to do, you've already lit up one corner of the pentagram called Miracle.

The other four corners, of course, need to be lit up by other teammates.

They are a team.

It is a team.

Now, she needs to hand everything over to her teammates.

It is unknown whether he sensed Shimamura Yuna's thoughts.
Or perhaps, he was simply influenced by his desire to win.

In short, the strong desire to win caused an unexpected turn of events in the game.

HongQ, who had always been considered "inferior to Chovy," was under a lot of pressure during this game.

He knew that in the previous match against GENG, he had completely dragged the team down.

Whether it's laning, team fights, or mid-game lane rotations and macro play.
Everything I do is inferior to Chovy's.

He also knew that if he maintained this level of performance, it would be almost impossible for the CFO to defeat GENG.

He knew that his abilities might have their limits.

My own growth is not yet sufficient to stand on such a big stage.

But
'I want to repay Shimamura-nee for all her contributions to the team.'

'I don't want to let down Shimamura-nee's hard work all this time.'

I don't want our six months together to end in regret.

'I'

I want to win.
