Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 234, 231.369 is a very strong player.
Despite being somewhat reluctant, Shimamura Yuna eventually started everyone's favorite program.

That's right.

It's about commentating on match videos.

Of course, she wouldn't say anything special.

She watched the replay of the game live, and her reason was actually quite simple.

First, there's the reason on the surface.

I haven't played games in a long time, so I'm watching the matches to familiarize myself with the new version.

Watch the game to understand everyone's current tactics.

In short, it's about rehabilitation, rehabilitation for health.

That makes sense.

Shimamura Yuna hasn't played games in a long time and is unaware of the current situation in the competition.

After all, we still need to find teams to play for later, and we definitely need to go to the World Championship. Even if we don't play scrims or regular season games, we still need to understand and keep up with the version of the game.

But for the audience, this reason is not important.

They don't really care what efforts Shimamura Yuna makes in private, nor do they care whether she makes those efforts public.

Because Shimamura Yuna is very strong, Shimamura Yuna is very powerful.

People don't need to keep staring at her and watching her work hard to see if she will grow or improve.

No need.

This kind of thing is unnecessary for everyone.

Yuna Shimamura gives people a very strong sense of security.

A sense of security that comes from within.

It's worth noting that she has already played in two World Championships and a number of regular season games on and off.

She now has almost zero games where she played poorly or had a bad performance.

There are times when it's not the absolute best, but there are truly no bad moments.

Even when her teammates are carrying the team, she can almost always maintain a level above the excellent mark.

In other words, in a certain game, a team might have achieved a performance of 99 points.

She must have performed at least 85 points.

That's the level of engineering involved.

Everyone believes that once she steps onto the field, she will definitely perform well.

Whenever she appears in the game, she's always the one who can contribute and won't be a liability.

So whether she practices or not is nobody's concern.

Thus, the second reason for this live stream emerged.

For Shimamura Yuna, she wanted to find a way to stream besides playing ranked games on the Korean server to fill her time, a show that looked sincere and seemed to be organized for entertainment purposes.

Oh, what a coincidence.

The audience also happens to want to see this.

Although Shimamura Yuna had made up her mind, she was determined not to reveal anything.

it's fine.

You can't possibly stay silent, can you?

As long as you speak, the audience will naturally fill in the blanks and interpret the words themselves.

Everyone is a micro-expression master.

Everyone can be a reading comprehension expert.

The Chinese language classes in nine years of compulsory education empower everyone to expand their potential.

That's right.

From this moment on, the explosion is coming!
The first match video that Shimamura Yuna selected was IG vs TES on July 19th.

As for why she chose this match, her reason was: "Well, it's the opening match of the third stage of the LPL. And it's a match between two teams that I follow closely, so I thought I'd give it a try. It looks like it's going to be very exciting, after all, they are two very strong teams."

Yuna Shimamura's way of speaking is actually a habit she developed after living in Japan for a long time.

Living in Japan for a long time makes you very distant and polite in everything you do and say.

Anyway, I always say "You're so amazing" or "You're so good" to everyone I talk to. I praise everyone and say they're awesome.

Then you won't be able to see my true emotions.

Whether I hate you, like you, or look down on you, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, as long as they open their mouths to speak, they will definitely be very polite.

The main focus is on Tai Chi.

The main point is to make it impossible to see one's true emotions.

However, this politeness has now become an excellent source of entertainment for the viewers of the live chat.

[High EQ: Two very strong teams, it's bound to be exciting. Low EQ: These two lousy guys are hilarious.]

Can you please stop making Shimamura laugh?

[Shimamura-nee must be really happy to see TES, their own spinning top, go back to the LPL region and rake in spinning tops from other LPL teams, right?]

[Shimamura-san is so funny]

Yes, even though Shimamura didn't say anything, as the winner, as the champion, and as the current undisputed world's number one top laner who defeated all the strongest players in the LPL, her praising her defeated opponent, even if there was no real meaning in her words, would sound like something else to others.

Shimamura Yuna noticed the atmosphere in the comments section and suddenly felt a little sweaty.

So she began to think about a question.

Was my praise not sincere enough?

That's right.

That must be the reason.

I was just being polite in my praise, but I've gotten used to the Japanese way of praising people, so I just used a formulaic and pretentious way of praising.

However, this kind of self-praise based on formulas may not be understood by many people in the Chinese-speaking environment.

Although deep down I don't think TES and IG are that great, or that these two teams are that strong.

However, I certainly don't intend to belittle either of these teams during the live stream.

But why are these viewers interpreting it in this way?

Shimamura Yuna concluded: "It must be because my speaking style was too Japanese. Cultural differences prevented them from understanding polite words, so they took it as sarcastic remarks."

So, what should we do to save him in this situation?
How can we turn the tables and make people think that "Shimamura Yuna isn't being sarcastic"?
Explanation is definitely not going to work.

'Then it seems I have no choice but to give them a sincere compliment!'

That's right. Since a negative understanding has arisen, we should use a positive understanding to counteract and eliminate it.

With this in mind, she began to emphasize praising both contestants during her subsequent commentary, in order to make herself appear more sincere.

The game started soon.

In the first game of the BO3 series, 369 chose Sion, while TheShy chose Rumble.

Upon seeing this hero selection, Shimamura Yuna immediately praised, "Sion and Rumble, both sides' hero selections have a lot of the players' personal style."

"Whether it's TheShy's extreme aggression or 369's extreme defensive attributes, they are both very famous in the world and have very distinctive characteristics in other people's ears." "The way this match was made is that, whether in terms of the characteristics of the players or the characteristics of the hero selection, it is a choice between offense and defense."

Yuna Shimamura felt that she had been fair and complimentary enough.

To be more objective, one of them is known for playing tanks, and the other is known for his aggressive top lane style.

These are all statements made objectively, without any emotional bias.

But Shimamura Yuna not only said that, she also added the word "ultimate".

That's no longer an objective statement.

This is a compliment to both of them, implying that they are both strong performers in their respective fields.

She thought that since she had praised him like that, it should sound very nice.

The viewers in the live chat probably won't think they're being sarcastic or sarcastic anymore.

But.
[It's difficult to maintain both an extremely high level of offense and defense]

[Shimamura-san, with such an extreme defense, how did you still manage to beat her like a spinning top?]

High emotional intelligence is a battle of offense and defense. Low emotional intelligence is a war of rage and reckless abandon where the opponent can't retaliate.

I really can't hold back anymore. I don't mind anyone praising 369, but Shimamura praising him is something I really can't stand.

Honestly, the skill gap between 369 and Shimamura is too large. And if we're talking about ultimate offense, I feel TS isn't as good as Shimamura.

[That's true. Shimamura's attacks are relentless, suffocating, and leave no room for error. TS's attacks are all about not having time to fight to the death, developing the I series.]

[Their defense is too strong; Shimamura would love for 369 to pick Sion and Ornn more often on the opposing team.]

Judging from the content, the atmosphere in the comments section for TS is barely acceptable.

Although there are also sarcastic comments like TS feeding kills, dying instantly, and 1-16.

But overall, it's just so-so.

After all, Shimamura Yuna and TS have never directly faced each other, so it's really hard to say what it would be like if they did.

At this stage, if you say "Shimamura Yuna is definitely better than TS", no one can refute it or argue with you.

After all, the facts speak for themselves: Shimamura Yuna won two international championships, and both were overwhelming victories.

TS can't even participate in international tournaments, and their performance in the league can't be described as stable or dominant.

But can we say that Shimamura Yuna is guaranteed to beat TS in her matchup?
Well, it's not necessarily true that you can only say it.

Competitions are a mysterious thing; an individual may have good results, but they may not be able to defeat their opponent in the same position.

If we speak too confidently now, what if things backfire and we get crushed by TS in our matchup? Wouldn't that be disastrous?

Therefore, in terms of general public opinion, there wasn't too much attack on TS, and many people were actually looking forward to seeing Shimamura Yuna and TS play against each other.

However, the public opinion was not so favorable for 369.

Regardless of 369's consistent lack of resistance and seemingly cowardly performance in lane.

Or perhaps it's that 369 got spun around by Shimamura in the Pioneer Tournament, and the entire TES team was completely crushed by Shimamura.
In short, regardless of historical reputation or performance in comparison.

369 has nothing to offer that can surpass Yuna Shimamura, and nothing that can earn the respect of Yuna Shimamura's fans.

So, when Shimamura Yuna praised him, it was simply heard by others as a superior evaluating a subordinate, a strong person commenting on a weak person.

[Shimamura-san spoke highly of her spinning top, saying it felt great in her hand.]

[Shimamura: 369's defense is amazing, he doesn't say a word no matter how many shots I take, awesome!]

[Now, forget about 369, does anyone even dare to pick Sion against Shimamura and wait to get picked? Picking Sion against Shimamura means you have to ban Fiora first, and even banning Fiora doesn't guarantee a win. Is that really a good idea?]

[Your sister Shimamura is just teasing you.]

Seeing that the trend was starting to veer towards "Shimamura Yuna's sharp review of the 369 spinning top," Shimamura Yuna became a little flustered.

If this weren't a live broadcast, and if she were given time to calm down and process the information properly, she would understand.
At this point, it doesn't matter what you say to her; the audience was already watching the live stream with the expectation of "champion's sharp commentary on a stray dog ​​on the street."

Therefore, whatever she says will develop in this direction.

The more she tries to avoid it, the more it will be over-interpreted.

The best approach in this situation is to remain calm.

No matter what others say or say, she should just try to speak normally.

Even so, there will still be people who use memes and offer interpretations.

But as everyone can understand, Shimamura herself didn't mean it that way.

That's enough.

But now, because it's a live broadcast, she, who is already easily stressed by public opinion, is completely unable to process information normally due to nervousness in this situation.

She is now simply making a judgment based on the same line of thought she just came up with.

'It must be that what I said just now wasn't good enough.'

'It must be because my praise was a bit sarcastic.'

'To praise someone solely based on labels like "shield" and "spear" does seem a bit odd. Objectively speaking, defensive attributes aren't necessarily a strength or a weakness; they're simply an individual player's attribute.'

"But if I say it, it will be misinterpreted as derogatory. After all, this has always been a controversial aspect of contestant 369's public image."

'So if I want to show that I have no ill will towards player 369, that I don't want to attack him, then what I need to do is very simple.'

'I want to praise him for aspects other than his defensive attributes. Not that I'm praising his defensive skills, but rather for his overall excellence and the finer details of his movements.'

That's right, a seemingly serious and calm analysis led to a completely wrong conclusion.

However, Shimamura Yuna is currently live-streaming and cannot analyze whether this is wrong or right.

She couldn't judge whether what she was doing was right or wrong.

She simply continued to follow her previous line of thought.

Soon, the game begins.

To show that I have absolutely no contempt or disrespect for 369, and to clarify that all the speculations in the comments were wrong.

Therefore, Shimamura Yuna kept a close eye on the road ahead.

"Ah, player 369's Q was incredibly well-executed. The timing of its release and its coverage of the minion wave showed that he had taken minion control into account."

"TheShy's play that time was also incredibly detailed."

"You played very well, that was great."

I originally intended to praise them.

That's what I wanted.

Therefore, she stared at certain operations, wanting to analyze them in detail.

But for professional players, many of these actions are simply instincts and basic skills.

If you ask an average person to do it, they really can't do it.

But you need Shimamura Yuna to focus on explaining these details, to exaggerate these details.
This is something she really can't do.

She felt that these operations were actually quite commonplace.

But because my mind was a bit muddled, I was rambling on and on, trying to find a place to praise myself.

He started, but then didn't know what to say next, stammering and unsure of what to say.

This makes it seem like it's hard for people to keep their composure.
