Chapter 224, Section 221: Winning MSI, settling scores with the haters!
Those who made bold statements before the match, saying that Shimamura Yuna would definitely die, have now deleted their posts and disappeared.

Those who swore oaths that Shimamura Yuna would lose have all disappeared.

Anti-Pressure Bar is indeed a very free fighting stage.

Although there was a somewhat vague and poorly enforced rule of uniting against external enemies during foreign wars.

However, the forum management team has no angle to intervene in or manage disputes between Japanese and Koreans like Shimamura Yuna's.

So for the past two days, Tieba has become a pure war between Japan and South Korea, with Korean filial sons versus Japanese filial sons, and they've been having a great time.

Now, as soon as they lose a game, they all run away, which gives the forum management team a reason to intervene.

There was a hidden Shimamura Takako among the moderators, but due to her need for impartiality as a moderator, she didn't know how to make a move.

But now, these runaways are being delivered to the target.

Then the forum management team needs to quickly find a way to show their respect for Shimamura.

A well-known moderator of the Anti-Japanese War forum posted this message.

Those who swear oaths before the match but delete their posts afterward will be permanently banned in a loop.

Below, this became the place where Shimamura Takako cheered and celebrated.

Celebrating Shimamura Yuna's victory.

Celebrate the resounding victory in public opinion.

I'm also happy that Shimamura Yuna's fan base can finally breathe on the internet.

There's a lot of discussion not only among fans.

Less than an hour after Shimamura Yuna won the championship, various promotional campaigns from Riot Games came one after another.

Of course, the usual championship-winning montages are indispensable.

All of Shimamura Yuna's highlights in the competition, most of her wonderful performances, were turned into different clips and uploaded online.

Then, netizens who happen to pass by on foreign websites will start praising it according to the formula.

She is a Goat.

[The true world's best top laner (Goat) (Goat)]

I have to say, she's my favorite female player this year.

All I can say is that these are the more accessible and popular social media platforms on the internet.

Many people's speaking style is really formulaic.

But the formula doesn't matter.

As long as it's genuine praise and has real influence, that's fine.

These videos about Yuna Shimamura can easily get five-figure views, and some can even reach six-figure or seven-figure views.

It's clear that Shimamura Yuna's popularity on foreign websites is no joke; she's a genuine internet celebrity.

Even compared to all the previous attempts to create idols in Riot Games' history, Yuna Shimamura is arguably the most successful.

No.
This is not about creating a god.

Or at least, it's not about creating a god through force.

It was spontaneous from the audience.

A female player who burst onto the scene in less than a year, winning two league championships and two world championships, and is now a Grand Slam superstar.

Does such a gimmick really need to be hyped up with fists?
Riot Games' hype, its promotion, every press release they buy, and every video they produce are merely catalysts for this fermentation process.

Even without her fists, Shimamura Yuna could have become famous.

This is the fact.

As for GENG, the loser
Then nobody will pay any attention.

It can be said that GENG has always been a team with this kind of positioning.

Very strong, very powerful.

However, they have few supporters and few people care about them.

Before every major competition, there is always a designated team with the strongest overall strength, as if everyone has to challenge him.

But ironically, they always manage to succeed in overcoming challenges.

They do win championships sometimes, but fewer times than they lose.

Moreover, the games they won were not the most important ones.

This is truly a very subtle achievement.

On the one hand, if the team can't win the S-series championship, it will never be able to truly prove itself or truly attract fans.

Even if they have fans, these fans are unlikely to stand up and argue with the fans of other teams or players because of their past performance.

Secondly, their hard strength is indeed very strong, which almost no one would deny. The few championships they occasionally win, which are not extremely important but still somewhat significant, further prove the team's prestige.

The world's best mid laner in terms of CS, the best AD carry in LCK, and the former world's best carry jungler.

These intimidating player gimmicks truly made the team a household name.

That's right.

This is the perfect villain, the perfect background character.

It has undeniable value, but it can't overshadow the main character, and the audience doesn't want to see them win.

Is there a better opponent than this?

almost none.

In this way, GENG repeatedly became the powerful villain who was sacrificed to the protagonist in important competitions.

And this time is no exception.

Online comments almost unanimously use GENG's strength to argue that the CFO is even stronger.

Hey guys, you know, GENG was supposed to be the strongest team this time. They easily crushed T1 in the league and even beat CFO in the upper bracket finals earlier. But now, they've lost to CFO.

Their performance seemed fine; any slight dips were within acceptable limits, but the CFO team ultimately won. Does this mean the CFO team is the one that's always better?

Honestly, I don't think the CFO team was any better. It was just that Shimamura was better. In almost every game, the key was Shimamura; they won because Shimamura played well, and they lost because Shimamura didn't play well.

I am delighted to be witnessing the birth of a new era of machines.

That's absolutely right. GENG didn't underperform; it was Shimamura Yuna's exceptional performance that destroyed them.

"I need to correct you, bro. For Shimamura, this isn't unusual; it's commonplace, something that happens every day. What's truly unusual are his teammates."

In my opinion, the key to the change in the finals was that the other members of the CFO team were finally able to demonstrate strength comparable to or close to that of their opponents in GENG.

This gave Shimamura room to perform.

That's absolutely right; I completely agree with you.

These seasoned viewers of League of Legends matches on foreign websites seem to be offering very insightful opinions, but they all essentially mean the same thing.

'Shimamura Yuna is truly amazing.'

That's right, that's all.

All that analysis was just to brag about how amazing Yuna Shimamura was.

All that is said is to prove that Shimamura Yuna is indeed strong.

Everything they said was for this purpose.

The creation of a god-like figure through fists, or rather, the creation of a god-like figure through Shimamura's own efforts, has now been completely successful.

FS won the championship, and MSI won the championship.

Public approval of her has soared to an unprecedented level.

Right now, she doesn't need to win a championship to gain recognition.

Instead, everyone has already fully recognized her and is now eager for her to win the championship.

They yearn for her to win the championship to fulfill their own expectations, and they yearn for her to win the championship to make everyone happy.

Just as she always thought.
Thousands upon thousands of expectations converge here at this moment.

Now, she is the focus of the world.

Shimamura Yuna herself doesn't pay much attention to these things.

Some athletes, whenever they achieve something or finish a competition, immediately check social media.

They want to see others praise them.

They want to see how others perceive them.

Many contestants say they don't like looking at social media because it's full of pressure and criticism. If it were all one-sided praise, who wouldn't like it?

Unfortunately, for Shimamura Yuna, things were not so simple.

She also went through a phase where she wanted to check social media to replenish her praise energy.

But now, she doesn't care about that anymore.

Rather, she feels a bit empty right now.

After winning the game, I celebrated with my teammates and we had a delicious Chinese meal together.

She didn't quite understand why she wanted to eat Chinese food in Canada.

But since I don't dislike it, this isn't important.

Surprisingly, everyone was rather quiet at the dinner table.

It wasn't dullness, but simply silence.

Often someone will say a few words to celebrate, but because no one can join in, the conversation quickly falls silent again.

Similar things kept happening at this banquet.

Yuna Shimamura understands this feeling.

This championship was indeed quite unexpected for everyone on the team.

Before this competition began, probably no one on the team dared to think that "we will win the championship".

That's not what people expected.

I need to organize my thoughts on what to do after the competition, including my statements, attitude, and feelings.

It's mostly about "what to do after losing" in terms of mental preparation.

To put it bluntly, nobody thought they would win.

The tears and farewell after losing.

They were saying sentimental things while having their last meal together.

And then we'll never see each other again, or rather, we'll see each other again on the field.

Everyone was prepared for this.

But they didn't lose.

That would be embarrassing.

I had planned to cry, but I couldn't.

They couldn't bring themselves to say the prepared lines for separation.

I can't even say anything sentimental.

Everyone was thinking: How could they have won?

What should you do if you win?

You should laugh, right?

Be happy, be excited.

But
What should I do if Shimamura Yuna's contract hasn't been finalized yet?

Did she continue playing for the team after that?
Or will it leave?

At times like these, everyone is a little unsure how to deal with the situation.

The emotions are very complicated.

Actually, it's not just her teammates; Shimamura Yuna herself is like that too.

Her pre-match thought was, "Since this is the last time, I should go all out and have the best possible outcome to say goodbye to my teammates."

Now that she has actually won, she suddenly realizes a problem.

That is.
Should I transfer again?

First, let's consider it from the perspective of academic performance.

Since the five people in the CFO group were able to win the MSI championship, it proves that these five people have potential, and this group of five has chemistry and a ceiling.

Although it seems that these five CFOs are indeed somewhat weak in terms of their usual hard skills.

Training match, but not GENG.

In fact, their win rate in the main tournament is not as high as GENG's.

But
So what?

Isn't this all about winning?

As long as I can prove my strength and win the championship, the win rate doesn't matter at all.

Because League of Legends competitions are not about constantly playing a large number of matches to determine who has the strongest overall skill.

The World Championship (S-series) even deliberately chooses a single-elimination format, which has a lower prestige, to increase the element of chance in the competition.

The purpose is to give the competition a sense of an unpredictable stage of fate.

Since the CFO was able to win twice on this unpredictable stage of fate, there is a possibility that he could win a third time.

Even if the probability is very low.

But since it exists, that's fine.

Is a transfer really necessary at a time like this?

Should I go to LPL or T1?
It has to be said that playing in these two places can indeed objectively increase the strength of teammates.

Her joining might strengthen those teams.

But is it really comparable to a CFO?
The CFO is a team that lacks core competencies but has been working together for over half a year.

These five people proved their compatibility.

This proves that even if these five people are not particularly strong, they still have the possibility and potential to kill opponents of higher levels.

If Shimamura Yuna chooses to leave CFO and join another team with stronger roster on paper, she will face the pressure of quickly integrating into the team within a short period of one or two months to participate in the World Championship.

To put it harshly
Is it really comparable?
A team whose theoretical stats are all T0, but whose synergy is zero.

Can it really compare to a team that is theoretically T1 but has top-tier team synergy?

From this perspective, the only reason for leaving CFO after winning the championship is money.

However, let's set aside whether the CFO and boss will offer a raise to retain employees because of this championship win.

Just to put it simply, if she could stay at CFO and win the championship, would the benefits of the golden path of winning all the championships throughout the year really be lower than signing a big contract now?

'I have a feeling it will go even higher?'

As a result, Shimamura Yuna now feels a bit awkward.

Let's not leave.

After all that was said before the match, the atmosphere was already there, and everyone thought he would leave.

It's like DEFT always considers the World Championship their last dance, but every year it turns out to be anything but the last dance.

By the end of the last dance, it all felt a bit awkward.

Yuna Shimamura feels similarly right now.

Everyone thought this was the CFO's last dance, and everyone thought she was definitely going to leave.

But looking at it now, it seems like it would be better not to leave.

We beat FS, we beat MSI.

It just doesn't seem reasonable to leave at a time like this.

Others may have similar thoughts.

Someone ran up and asked Shimamura Yuna, "Shimamura-nee, you've already won the championship, are you still going to renew your contract?"

Shimamura Yuna didn't say anything at the time, but gave him a slightly strange look and said, "I don't know either."

"I need to go back to Japan and think about it carefully."

Then everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

From what everyone heard, it was clear that Shimamura Yuna was very keen to renew her contract.

As a result, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.

"Then, I hope Shimamura-nee makes the best choice!"
