Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 220, Section 217: The Decisive Battle, the Final Showdown!
You won't regret it?

What kind of situation would prevent you from having any regrets?

Is it true that "just do your best" is enough?
Or is it that winning the championship is absolutely necessary?
If winning the championship was the only goal, then Shimamura Yuna's tone wouldn't have been like that.

It felt more like a military order: "This time, we must win the championship!"

However, she didn't say that.

Since they didn't say that, then they certainly weren't demanding a championship.

But
At this moment, everyone in the CFO team feels like, "If we can't win this championship, we'll definitely regret it later."

A strong determination rose in everyone's hearts.

Everyone is now filled with an indomitable killing intent.

Meanwhile, on GENG's side, the atmosphere within the team became somewhat delicate.

Regardless of the team, any team that initially held a psychological advantage will experience a certain degree of mental distortion when they realize they no longer have that advantage.

This is something that is almost unavoidable.

We are all human beings, made of flesh and blood.

It's perfectly normal to feel confident, inflated, and arrogant; and for your mood to fluctuate for all sorts of reasons.

While GENG may not have had a 100% win rate against CFO, he certainly had a significant psychological advantage.

They genuinely believe that the CFO is a team lacking real strength and largely reliant on temporary bursts of brilliance to win.

However, the match just now gave GENG a very different feeling.

That wasn't because the team made a mistake, or because the CFO had a sudden burst of brilliance.

That means everyone in every position, from beginning to end, did much better than they expected in every aspect of the game.

Or rather, it's much better than it has been before.

This feeling is really subtle.

It's like your familiar opponent has suddenly changed.

This will cause them to make significant errors in their judgment.

Can we actually win?

'Do we really have an advantage over the CFO in terms of actual combat capability?'

This feeling will also resonate with many people.

However, the game must continue regardless.

"In the last game, our biggest mistake was in the top lane. That solo kill directly led to a chain reaction."

"And most importantly, Gwen didn't even use her W skill, and this saved W skill played a very important role later on."

"We really need to pay close attention to this issue going forward. We absolutely must not make the same mistake again."

As always, we reviewed the game and corrected the mistakes from the previous game.

At the same time, the coach also mentioned a point.

"And then there's that Shimamura player, it looks like we really can't let him have too much fun."

then
The game continues.

Just as GENG thought, and just as the audience felt.

Today's CFOs are completely different.

Whether in lane or in team fights, the players' individual performance has reached an unprecedented peak.

It's like this team isn't the CFO anymore.

Apart from Shimamura Yuna, everyone else in the team seemed to have been temporarily possessed by a deity.

The mid laner is Faker, the bot laner is Bang, and everyone seems to have temporarily broken through their limits, like a mega-evolution, or like becoming gigantic, or perhaps like becoming titanium.

It's basically a temporary state of being stronger.

The audience was quite surprised.
These two teams, which seemed to be on completely different levels in the previous BO5, now seem to be evenly matched in this BO5.

In subsequent matches, CFO did not simply dominate and defeat GENG.

That's impossible.

In fact, even though winning the first game against GENG was a crushing victory in terms of the result, the process was still very thrilling.

However, they won a big team fight and snowballed the advantage to the extreme, making it impossible for GENG to retaliate.

It's really just a matter of deciding the outcome in one go.

The subsequent overwhelming victory was actually just a continuation of that team fight.

Actually, that team fight was very close, and the win rate was not ideal in theory.

But because they won, the subsequent situation was a complete rout.

However, it's clear that this situation won't be replicated in every game.

The game continues.

Soon, the two sides engaged in three more matches.

In these three matches, the content presented was almost evenly matched.

From laning to team fights to macro play, it's all extremely high-pressure.

However, as long as a team fight creates a slight gap, the side with the advantage can immediately and decisively suppress the other side.

From the rhythm to the outcome of team battles, it can be said that these are two teams with completely similar combat strength and level.

Before the competition, this was something that was hard to imagine.

After all, this isn't like last year's BLG vs. T1 match.

这 是
CFO, get the hell out of here!!!
Judging from the team name, are they teams of the same caliber?
Are these two teams of the same level?
But whether you believe it or not.

Whether you think it's real or not, reality is right in front of you.

Soon, after three rounds of intense play, the score was tied at 2-2.

Contrary to what CFO's fans had imagined after the first game, they didn't simply sweep GENG aside.

But it wasn't a one-sided beating.

Although they lost the next two games after the first, which made fans feel somewhat hopeless, thinking, "Could we just be swept 3-1 like this?"

However, in reality, these two games weren't that bad if you only looked at the gameplay.

But it definitely has an impact on the CFO's mindset and the fans' mindset.

At this point, many of the CFO's haters in the live chat had already started making sarcastic remarks.

Why are the Japanese fans so quiet? Weren't they already fantasizing about winning the championship right after the first game?

[Geng is awesome! The Sino-Korean united front against Japan must be established! We must drive the Japanese devils back to our own island!]

[I saw that Shimamura-san's livestream was flooded with gifts just now, right? What should we do now? Maybe we should hurry up and get a refund from the minor's bank account, there's still time.]

Haha, I can't help but laugh when I see Shimamura's fans showering him with gifts every time he plays a match. It makes this tournament feel like those dog costume birthday parties, like they're collecting rent.

[They really are collecting rent. I think we don't need to pay Miss Kujo's 200 million yen anymore; she definitely won't be able to pay it out. She'll just be enjoying the gift money.]

It's disgusting to see Japanese fans jumping around like that every day. I just hope GENG can defeat the Japanese team and give us a clean online environment.

Similar sarcastic remarks are rampant online.

And the two losses after starting with one win are indeed hard to refute.

But the internet...
As the saying goes, the outcome is still uncertain, and we could all be dark horses.

Shimamura Yuna has many fans, but no one refuted this.

But the reason I didn't refute it wasn't because I was dead.

It's because they're waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
And that opportunity arrived with the victory.

In the fourth round of the game, the CFO team finally got their chance to fight back.

When a player is caught up and loses two consecutive sets, many players will find it difficult to maintain their composure. They might have been able to perform well initially, but after losing the first two sets, their mentality crumbles.

However, the CFO did not appear today.

They lost fairly.

It means giving it your all but falling short by one step; the execution wasn't perfect.

Even after losing, their performance didn't drop significantly.

A strong will to win kept the CFO team in a stable mindset and prevented this peak performance from fading.

Therefore, it was only natural that he won the fourth game, successfully tying the score at 2-2 and forcing a decisive game.

This game was not easy to win; it was quite thrilling. Despite a slight disadvantage in the early game, we managed to win a team fight despite the economic gap, and then slowly reversed the situation.

After this game, everyone at CFO felt like they had shed a layer of skin.

The fans breathed a sigh of relief.

feel
'At least they've made it to a deciding set.'
'At least there's still the last game of the best-of-five series to watch.'
At this point, it is only natural to organize and launch a counterattack.

[Where's Black Island Village Sister's Korean dog? Didn't she like to acknowledge Korean fathers? Why doesn't she anymore?]

[Shimamura-san is always better than you guys! Shimamura-san is awesome!]

[They've made it to the final game, time to play the battle anthem, are the haters crying for their parents now?]

It's okay, even if Shimamura-san wins this round, there will still be haters acknowledging her as their new "father".

However, the best-of-five series is not over yet.

Therefore, haters still have a voice.

【Don't be so hasty, you Japanese dutiful sons. We'll send you away soon. Stop pretending; we'll crush you right now.】

[The Japanese are too impatient. You're so happy that we've only made it to the fifth game. If we have a 100-point economic lead later, you'll be laughing your heads off.]

"The CFO has absolutely no chance of winning, I'm telling you. Based on the performance in the previous rounds, the CFO's chances of winning are 0."

Whether it's mental fortitude, willpower, or even their pool of potential heroes, the CFO has reached his limit. They're on the brink of defeat, don't be unconvinced.

Now, as the situation enters a focal point, the battle of public opinion has reached its most intense stage.

The haters continue to relentlessly curse the CFO.

The fans, because they hadn't actually won yet, didn't dare to speak too loudly.

After all, haters have no worries, but fans do.

If the CFO wins, the trolls will simply delete their posts and run away.

However, fans are concerned about whether their words will have any impact on the people they like.

So, when it comes to going all out and the halftime champagne, the haters weren't as harsh.

It felt like their firepower was being suppressed.

But everyone was actually holding back a lot of energy.

I hope Shimamura Yuna wins the last match.

I hope she wins the championship.
We look forward to seeing everyone on the field.

It's not just the audience's expectation.

This is also what the contestants themselves expect.

Driven by a shared desire to witness a happy ending, everyone worked together to get here.

Even in the most challenging times, no one gave up.

Instead, they encouraged each other, saying, "We played well, just a little bit short."

Therefore, this decisive game was a reward for their hard work.

Despite the hard-fought victory in the last game, everyone had a gut feeling about this match.
We will definitely win!

After all, the plot has progressed to this point, and the atmosphere has been built to its peak.

It's like it has a beginning, development, transition, and conclusion.

Now, all that's missing is a perfect GOOD END.

What kind of ending would be worthy of this incredible journey?

With emotions compressed to the extreme, the CFO team, after a brief adjustment, stepped onto the field to the sound of the BO5 battle anthem.

The commentator passionately declared, "After four exciting games, we have finally reached the decisive final game!"

"Will the new generation of kings, the champions of FS, the CFO team from LCP, take the championship, or will the traditional top Korean team, GenG, more rightfully win this match? Let's wait and see!!!"

In such a major competition, the atmosphere in the fifth game is completely different from that before.

The stage effects and music on site are changing.

The atmosphere among the audience was also more enthusiastic than before.

This gave the contestants present an indescribable psychological feeling.

Shimamura Yuna felt
This is the stage I've been waiting for.

That's right.

From the very first moment she stepped onto the professional stage, this was what she had been looking forward to.

The spotlight focused on themselves, the cheers and expectations of tens of thousands of spectators, and the sense of destiny to fight to the last moment for the spotlight.

All of this is exactly what I've been longing for.

She even felt that when she had that shining moment, everything else, even winning or losing, became unimportant.

All that's left is to enjoy the game.

But she quickly changed her mind.

'It's not just about experiencing the stage.'

'I want to stand at the very center of the stage, to become a true Position Zero—that's what I want.'

There can only be one person who shines the brightest.
And that person will be myself.

Shimamura Yuna sat firmly in her chair, her attention fully focused.

She is ready to face this final match in her best form.

Soon, the game officially started.

As some viewers have pointed out, after four matches, top laners now have a very limited champion pool.

On Shimamura Yuna's side, she has used four characters: Gwen, Jayce, Gravedigger, and Camille.

KIIN used four characters: Weapon Master, Quesanti, Rumble, and Sion.

Most of the heroes that are good for the top lane have already been released.

Now, it's purely a battle of endurance and long-term endurance.

It's not just about endurance in the game.

There's also resilience and stamina in the hero pool.

At least for Shimamura Yuna, the heroes she can still use are no longer particularly mainstream.

Akali, Vladimir, Ryze, Fiora.
These heroes all seem usable, but they're actually not very good.

It requires specific strategies, can only be effective against certain heroes, and also requires strong performance from Yuna Shimamura.

To put it bluntly, we need a backup plan.

But strangely enough, GENG seems to understand the tricks of the trade for CFOs.

Having the first choice, they voluntarily gave up the blue side and chose the red side.

The meaning is simple.
They absolutely will not let you counter.
