Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 236, Section 233: Where did Shimamura-nee go?
Today, all viewers have a deeply ingrained stereotype.

That is, all the people in the LPL are maggots.

No exceptions.

It's not surprising to have this impression.

Last year, BLG was able to win the runner-up position in the World Championship, and they were just one step away from winning the championship.

But at the time, it felt like they were at their last gasp.

At the time, everyone thought, "If LPL doesn't win the championship this year, the entire league is doomed."

Not only will their academic performance be ruined, but their popularity will likely also be ruined.

In retrospect, one thing that the audience at the time didn't quite expect was...
In terms of results, this league is truly finished.

Almost all the teams were so long you could see the end of each one at a glance.

From FS to MSI, two international tournaments, he couldn't even get a runner-up finish.

The entire region became a completely "weak region".

Perhaps we can only hope for a miracle at the World Championship.

But a miracle might happen at the World Championship.

But a miracle at the World Championship is unlikely.

From this perspective, the prediction that LPL was nearing its end last year was indeed correct.

In previous years, I could at least get a runner-up position in major competitions, and usually in the second division.

Neither of this year's events is in the second division; one is in the fourth division and the other in the third division.

The results are also quite far from second place. This is not the end of the battle, nothing is the end of the battle.

However, despite its current limitations, this year's LPL has actually been more exciting than most people expected.

how to say
Compared to the lifeless, stagnant atmosphere, watching a bunch of stray dogs fight each other is a kind of fun.

In fact, this year's LPL has generated even more discussion than last year.

Last year, people said they could fight and had a chance, but no one had high expectations; they all felt that the game was already over.

I just came to watch the World Championship to see if anything unexpected happened.

The regular season's popularity has plummeted.

But this year, it's just a pure dogfight, a pure battle for attention, and pure off-field news.
This actually made the game more interesting.

At this time, the appearance of Shimamura Yuna further solidified everyone's hopes for her academic performance.

Now, only those who want to have fun are watching the games anymore. Players who don't care about the fun and who have expectations for the results have stopped watching.

But now, Shimamura Yuna has become everyone's hope for success.

Although she is not Chinese, no matter how popular she becomes, she always broadcasts live in China, interacts with Chinese viewers, and respects Chinese fans, making her even more so than a Chinese person.

The answer is quite simple.

While hoping for Shimamura's success, they openly and comfortably watch LPL make fools of themselves.

This is the current situation for LPL viewers.

It was, to put it simply, a pure enjoyment.

At this point, it would be even more interesting if someone everyone knows came out to criticize these clowns in the LPL.

Yes, Shimamura Yuna is still the same person.

Although she didn't offer many sharp comments.

But her hesitant and reluctant attitude only made her a bigger source of amusement.

This video quickly garnered over 200 million views on Bilibili in just over a day.

[Who understands how much Shimamura enjoys watching these maggots play matches?]

[She's actually enjoying it quite a bit. Shimamura-nee must be finding it hard to hold back just thinking about how she tortures these maggots every day.]

[This is really hard to keep up with. I can't even imagine what a devastating impact it would be if Shimamura came to the LPL league.]

Are there any top laners in the LPL right now who are better than Shimamura?

[No literally. But it seems like no team is particularly lacking in top laners.]

While discussing Shimamura Yuna's overwhelming dominance over the LPL region, people also like to talk about the current state of the LPL.

If any LPL team had Shimamura's skill level, things wouldn't be like this now.

It's hard to imagine that a veteran like 369, who has played for so many years, would be whipped around like a top by Shimamura, a rookie who just turned 18.

The most terrifying thing isn't that their mechanics are inferior, but rather that Shimamura's play appears far more mature than theirs. Shimamura possesses strong pressure while rarely making mistakes, getting ganked, or blundering in team fights. This level of consistency is almost unheard of in the LPL.

There are quite a few stable people, but those with the ability and stability are few and far between. Generally, the more capable someone is, the more likely they are to give away freebies.

In short, LPL fans are currently experiencing disappointment and anger towards LPL and LOL matches, but there is also a glimmer of hope.

They didn't want to be entertainers.

If they had no other choice, who would want to watch their league turn into such a clown brawl?
Who wouldn't want to see their favorite team, player, or region become a champion, a master, and someone to be proud of?
But, it can't be done.

Because I can't do it, I can only make fun of myself like this, and I can only rely on entertainment to relieve my disappointment.

LPL is just a competition after all, and it doesn't affect real life.

When something brings emotional value, people feel proud and cheer for it.

When something only brings disappointment, then everyone simply stays away, that's all.

The self-deprecating remark about watching tops spin and whip each other is nothing more than a way for viewers to alleviate their disappointment.

But
Because of Shimamura Yuna's presence, this purely self-deprecating sentiment was perhaps somewhat mitigated.

Everyone was saying, "Shimamura-nee can just randomly spin LPL tops."

But deep down, I still held onto a somewhat unrealistic hope.

Hopefully, Shimamura will act as a divine weapon to save the LPL.

I hope Shimamura Yuna is the savior.

I hope Shimamura Yuna is the one who changes everything.

But will all of this really happen?
no one knows.

But this expectation ultimately fueled Shimamura Yuna's popularity, making her the person everyone was looking forward to.

Now is the time to expect it to manifest.

Yuna Shimamura herself did not pay particular attention to these online comments.

After watching the replay of the match live that day, she will continue to watch some matches live on stream.

However, the frequency wasn't particularly high, and the subsequent program effects weren't as explosive.

Having learned from her experience on the first day, Shimamura Yuna is now smarter.

She understood; to stay out of the flow, she didn't need to praise or remain silent.

Instead, we should maintain a calm and normal mindset.

You need to make all your actions appear normal so that there's no room for interpretation.

After rehearsing and reviewing the broadcast, she fully implemented this method in subsequent live streams.

Therefore, the effect presented is
Shimamura-san's live streams have become boring.

Everyone has this clear feeling.

But Shimamura Yuna didn't seem to care.

She doesn't do live streams for money or popularity.

She herself isn't entirely without a desire for publicity. But the publicity is for money.

Now that she doesn't lack money, she won't rush to do these things.

She's starting to livestream now simply to give her fans an explanation.

He told his fans that he was still alive.

This also serves as an explanation to those teams that might want to join them.

I spend my days watching matches, playing games, and keeping up with the latest version updates.

I can make a comeback anytime I want; it's not difficult at all.

During the off-season, her daily live stream content was very simple: she would watch matches when there were matches, and play games when there were no matches.

When he's not live streaming, he exercises outside to maintain his fitness.

Her daily live stream content has essentially proven one point to the audience.
That is, for a top professional player like her, ranking up in ranked matches is a piece of cake.

The main reason why professional players don't have high ranking scores is that they don't have time to play.

As long as you have time to play, ranking up is as easy as drinking water.

During her livestream, Shimamura Yuna played and tried almost every hero, without insisting on playing any particular hero.

However, they still easily climb the ranks, even faster and with a higher win rate than those players who specialize in a few heroes and put all their effort into ranking up.

She doesn't even specifically choose counters or counter heroes against specific team compositions.

Instead, sometimes I'll deliberately choose matches that are theoretically difficult to play, and then try to counter them.

Even so, even without deliberately pursuing higher scores, her win rate in ranked matches still reaches an astonishing 75% or higher in a very large number of games.

In other words, they will only lose one out of four games.

With so few matches played, this win rate isn't anything special; it's more like a winning streak that happened by chance.

However, considering that Shimamura Yuna played more than 100 ranked games during this period, this number is quite exaggerated.

Moreover, this win rate is even more impressive than when she used to solo queue every day before she became a professional player.

It's fair to say that, in terms of pure skill alone, she's a top laner that few in the world can match.

Of course, Shimamura Yuna herself was well aware of this.

The reason why my win rate is higher now than before I became a professional player is not entirely because my skill has improved.

Of course, their strength has improved.

Whether it's improving physical fitness, making one's reaction speed and physical strength stronger, it's all good.

Or perhaps, playing on the field for so long can improve one's awareness.

However, these factors usually don't have a significant impact on rankings.

In fact, professional players who are used to playing competitive matches may experience some discomfort when playing ranked matches, leading to a drop in their win rate.

But why does Shimamura Yuna have such a high win rate in ranked matches now?
She attributed this to her current high level of fame.

Her Korean server ID is no longer CFO SHIMAMURA.

Instead, it's "PositionZero".

After playing for a while, when people see this ID, it's like seeing Hide On Bush – they can immediately tell that they've matched with a celebrity.

He would offer her his seat and play along with her.

Her playstyle is actually a bit of a toxic approach for ranked matches.

Although things have changed a lot compared to the past, there are still some malignant elements.

In the past, when encountering players who played like her, many teammates would lose their composure.

'Why didn't you come to help? Why are you being so selfish? What am I supposed to do if you keep acting like this?'

Because of differing ideas, people are not united, which affects the winning rate.

But it's different now.

In high-level games, as soon as players see this ID, they assume that the top laner should be protected in this game.

joke.

This is currently the world's top-tier carry top laner, an incredibly skilled top laner with a 75% win rate in ranked games.

Are you just protecting her?

Some people are actually not convinced by Shimamura Yuna, after all, top-ranked players are all experts, and it's inevitable that some of them will be a bit arrogant.

I think you're just a professional player, who do you think you are? Why should I protect you?

However, these people are the ones who dare to go against Shimamura Yuna in the rankings, and dare to have their rebellious personality take over.

Soon they will know what cyberbullying is.

Over time, everyone started to cooperate with Shimamura Yuna.

Whether it's proactive cooperation or reactive cooperation.

This caused Shimamura Yuna's win rate to soar.

This is the real reason why her win rate in ranked matches seems to be higher than before.

Improving one's skills or being in top form are secondary, or even completely unimportant.

After all, playing ranked matches doesn't require any special skill level for Shimamura Yuna.

But regardless of the truth, and regardless of whether Shimamura Yuna believes her strength has actually improved.

However, her ranking performance still conveys a message based on her win rate.

That is, "Shimamura Yuna is in top form, and rest does not affect her competitiveness."

Based on her ranking performance and previous achievements, almost everyone on the internet considers her to be a plug-and-play ultimate carry top laner.

Even though she's resting, she still maintains a strong appeal to many teams.

Whether it's the strengthening of their capabilities or the explosive growth in the amount of discussion they generate.

Even before she decided which team to join, Riot Games was already convinced that she would definitely make it to the World Championship this year.

Riot Games is currently preparing the music video for the World Championship single.

The main character of the music video is undoubtedly Yuna Shimamura; all the other contestants are just there to support her.

To better reflect Yuna Shimamura's identity as a Japanese player, Riot Games even outsourced the production of the music video to the Japanese animation studio Trigger.

Riot Games has always been very good at flattering popular players.

They used to fawn over Faker, now they're fawning over Shimamura Yuna just like they used to.

Because Shimamura Yuna is still young and looks like she can play for many more years, the punches were delivered with even more gusto.

In conclusion, no one questions Shimamura Yuna's talent and commercial value.

Right now, everyone is only concerned about one thing.

"Which team will Shimamura join for the third stage of the S-series?"

It's about going to T1 to become a new piece of the puzzle for the Galactic Battleship.

Or perhaps he should go and rescue an LPL team, transforming an otherwise mediocre team into a formidable one.

Or, how about going back to CFO?
Going back to CFO seems like a good option. Although the players' individual skills aren't particularly high, their strength lies in their good teamwork and high level of cooperation.

CFO still seems to dominate LCP, although it doesn't seem as dominant as it once was. But if Shimamura Yuna were to return to CFO, they would still be a contender for the championship.

With the season in progress, where Shimamura-san is going has become the hottest topic.
