Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 251, Section 248: The Next Battle, BLG
This game isn't just for spectators.

This also includes the entire BLG team, who just defeated JDG in the previous round.

BLG is currently in a rather contradictory state.

In terms of salary, although many players on the team earn a lot, they are not actually at the highest market price.

Some players even voluntarily took a pay cut.

To put it bluntly, the current BLG is a team that no other team in the entire LPL could assemble with normal salaries.

This team's budget is so high that, normally speaking, it should be broken up and its members should go their separate ways to strengthen the core of each team.

But everyone in the team believed that 'this outcome is unacceptable'.

Last year at the World Championships, they were just one step away from the title.

Perhaps if we tried again, the outcome would be different.

They are not necessarily going to lose.

But they still lost.

Regret, resentment, sadness.

Such emotions lingered in their hearts.

Moreover, everyone on the team knows that once BLG is disbanded, this opportunity to win the championship may never come again for any of them.

They will go to different teams as 'reinforcements' for those teams.

But no matter which team it is, none of them will reach the heights that BLG achieved in 2024.

The LPL may really be coming to an end here.

The entire team was actually united by their shared desire to win the championship.

They desperately need to surpass the ceiling they reached last year when they were just one step away from winning the championship, and they desperately need to prove that they have the ability to win.

It's not for money, it's for a dream.

However, this upper limit is too vague and intangible.

Once a dream seems unattainable, the team's morale will plummet, and the players' performance will suffer as a result.

Then, now, all of this has become less appealing due to BLG's inconsistent performance throughout the 2025 season.

Now, BLG desperately needs a great victory to prove themselves.

To prove that they still have the strength they have in 2024, and to prove that they still have the possibility of competing for the championship.

It wasn't to convince the audience, but to convince myself.

It was to convince myself that my decision to stay with BLG this year was the right one.

It's the right thing for everyone to get together again and give it another year.

BLG's hard-fought victory against JDG in the last match made them feel a bit threatened.

That shouldn't be the case.
JDG is a very weak team, and this result is unacceptable for a team that is aiming to compete in the World Championship again.

After defeating JDG, the entire BLG team sat backstage watching the second match.

This game will determine who they will face in the next round of the playoffs.

Is it WBG or AL?
Watching the game allows you to preview the match, see what tactics the opponent reveals, and see if you can counter them.

It also allows you to calm down after a match.

Then, the more they watched, the more somber BLG's mood became.
"WBG is pretty awesome after adding Shimamura."

"That's actually pretty impressive."

"My main feeling is that Shimamura is like she has a god's-eye view. Why is it that every time someone catches her, she seems to have a vision of it? Even though Tarzan sometimes plays quite unconventionally, she can always guess when Tarzan will come and when he will leave."

"That's pretty impressive."

"And she can play so many heroes, holy crap. I used to think that WBG wouldn't need just one person to be awesome, but now it seems like they really only need one person."

The BLG members gathered together, chatting animatedly about the match.

You say one thing, I say one thing.
But the general meaning is quite simple.

It's just that people are marveling at how strong WBG is and how strong Shimamura Yuna is.

Their words sounded like they were speaking from the perspective of a mere spectator.

But everyone knows the truth.

They are not actually looking at this matter from such an insignificant perspective.

This is their opponent in the next match.

To put it more seriously.

They are one of their main rivals in their quest to win the LPL playoffs.

Initially, BLG considered AL and TES to be their opponents.

But now it seems that none of these are true.

WBG is the one.

This team emerged out of nowhere, their playstyle hadn't been figured out over the long season, and their raw strength seemed to be almost unmatched in the LPL.

They can abuse AL like this
Maybe we can crush BLG in the same way.

No, that's not necessarily true.

Actually, BLG is still quite strong in terms of overall laning ability.

Teams with Shimamura Yuna have a natural advantage against teams with insufficient stats.

However, BLG is not included in this category.

Bin was at least confident that he would not be at a disadvantage in his battle against Shimamura Yuna.

Even so, they were not confident that they could crack WBG's tactics.

Or rather, this isn't a tactic at all.

This is Shimamura Yuna's true strength.

It's because Shimamura Yuna's strengths are so overwhelming that she has exposed the weaknesses of many teams.
If we can't truly defeat Shimamura Yuna, then everything is just empty talk.
So far, whether it's LPL teams, LCK teams, or LCP teams...
No team can truly 'defeat' Shimamura Yuna head-on.

Zeus couldn't do it, Dolan couldn't do it, and neither could Kim.

These are all top athletes in the world, and they are challenging Shimamura Yuna one by one in their own way.

But so far, all of them have failed.

BIN conveniently missed the opportunity to fight against Shimamura Yuna.

He was unable to participate in the first stage's pioneer race.

He did go to the second stage of MSI, but because he wasn't scheduled to play with CFO and had already left early, he couldn't participate.

If WBG can defeat AL, then the next round of the playoffs will be the first time that Bin will truly face off against Shimamura Yuna.

The atmosphere at BLG was somewhat heavy.

Faced with the formidable WBG, everyone was a little worried about whether BIN could withstand Shimamura Yuna.

BIN is a very strong player, and everyone certainly believes that.

But people believe more
Yuna Shimamura is a stronger player.

I wouldn't say that out loud, after all, the morale of my own people is very important.

But that's what everyone really thinks.

Like Yuna Shimamura, who consistently performed well throughout the year, with almost no minor setbacks.
Normal performance is considered a low point; an incredible, unstoppable performance is the norm.

Such a contestant is simply outrageous.

There are many players who can perform at a level similar to Yuna Shimamura in a single game. But to consistently perform at that level and carry like it's a daily occurrence is very rare.

There are even fewer people like Yuna Shimamura who can play a whole year of competitions without any significant lapses in performance.

Impact is a characteristic shared by many strong players.

The impact on online play, and the imagination in team battles.
Every player who has ever been called a top-tier top laner has had their share of highlights.

However, players like Shimamura Yuna are like robots; they almost always carry the team whenever they appear, and even if the game isn't won, they still make a difference.

A player with virtually absolute consistency
This is almost unprecedented in the history of the league.

In other words, players who are generally associated with stability are often those who can withstand pressure.

They don't make mistakes, they don't give away their lives, they are usually stable and resilient, and they contribute 70% of their potential.

But Shimamura Yuna is different.

She is not a player who can withstand pressure very well, but she can consistently deliver a performance of 90 points.

That's really terrifying.

In the current professional League of Legends league, even among all the players, almost no one can match the performance of Yuna Shimamura.

Even looking back through history, it would be difficult to find players of this caliber.

Let alone Brother Bin.

Even Zeus, who was known as the king of the gods, may not have had such a long and stable peak period.

The current Shimamura Yuna seems to be an unstoppable force of historical significance, and an incredibly powerful force of historical significance.

Who can defeat Shimamura Yuna?

Everyone is somewhat worried about this.

Bin himself seems to be able to sense what some of his teammates are thinking.

He knew that, though no one said it, deep down they certainly didn't think they were on the same level as Shimamura Yuna.

However, Bin didn't care.

The controversies surrounding him are also a factor.

It's good that my teammates don't trust me that much.

As long as you can actually silence all doubts with your performance in the competition, then there's no problem.

Thinking of this, Bin remained silent.

He remained calm and focused on watching the game on the screen.

At the same time, I am looking forward to it.
Looking forward to the next round of the competition, it's about to officially begin.

"I will beat you, Shimamura Yuna"

Bin's heart was filled with a determination to win.
-
After WBG swept AL in the first two matches with almost no suspense, everyone had already guessed that today's match would probably be an amazing speedrun.

And in the end, there was indeed no reversal.

In three consecutive matches, AL seemed unable to find a way to counter WBG's tactics, getting crushed in different ways each time.

In the first round, they got completely crushed by the vampire.

In the second game, he was utterly crushed by the gravedigger.

In the third game, Shimamura Yuna pulled out something she hadn't seen before and played Aatrox top lane.

The character Sword Demon is indeed quite common; many people have used him.

But for Shimamura Yuna, that was indeed a rare sight.

People generally feel that Shimamura Yuna doesn't like playing clunky characters whose performance is easily restricted.

Even among heavy armor warriors, Aatrox is considered one of the clumsy ones.

When Shimamura Yuna plays Aatrox, it feels like Uzi playing Jhin; the ID and the hero just don't quite match.

Everyone was wondering how Shimamura Yuna would play the Sword Demon – would it be a complete disaster or just an odd performance?
She proved to everyone with her actual performance in the game that any hero she picks on the field will definitely be effective.

If we're talking about an odor, then it definitely has an odor.

The feeling of playing this Sword Demon is quite different from other people's; there are significant differences in both gameplay and strategy.

But it just keeps winning; team fights are definitely effective.

She never needed to play like everyone else.

She always gives people a certain feeling.
No matter what she plays, once she takes it to the competition, that's the standard answer.

The match ended with a score of 3-0.

Due to WBG's style of play, this 3-0 victory wasn't particularly fast.

It wasn't a particularly heavy 3-0 scoreline.

The impression it gives is one of stability and composure, leaving the other party with no hope whatsoever.

Since Shimamura Yuna joined, WBG's performance in almost every match has been like this.

At the time, everyone thought, "This is just because they're bullying weaker opponents; they'll show their true colors when they encounter tougher opponents."

But now, even tough opponents are being bullied like this.

Subsequently, WBG's rating among the public rose sharply.

People no longer think, "WBG will be unable to defeat tough opponents."

Instead, I was thinking
How tough does it have to be for WBG to look like it's struggling?
What kind of opponent would it take to make WBG feel the pressure of being matched up against?

Even the players on the team might not know about this.

In fact, apart from Shimamura Yuna, the other members of the team have been in a rather dazed state these past few days.

Every time they play a match, they feel like, "Huh? Is it really that easy?"

"Hey, is winning that easy?"

Then he thought, "I should be facing some real, challenging opponents soon, and things won't be so easy then."

Then, with a somewhat apprehensive feeling, I went to war with AL.

The feedback was still, "Huh? It's that simple? Huh? It's that easy?"

This team of veterans has had a lot of setbacks this year, so none of them dare to be too arrogant. They're all afraid that if they have too high expectations, they won't be able to handle the mental pressure if they lose.

They all played with the mindset that "the next opponent will be stronger and things won't go so smoothly."

But they fought their way to the playoffs from start to finish, and still won easily and effortlessly.

This confused them.

No, bro.
Are they really going to fight their way to the finals like this?

During the post-match interview with the winners, the WBG team members sat in their chairs, all looking somewhat dizzy.

The host asked, "Mr. Liu Qingsong, since Shimamura joined the team, WBG has shown a very noticeable increase in competitiveness."

Are you confident about your upcoming matches?

Do you think we can win the next match against BLG?

Liu Qingsong is quite a funny person.

To this question, he replied with a smile, "Actually, I didn't know what would happen either. Before she came, I never thought WBG would suddenly become so awesome and win so easily."

"I've always felt that we might lose a game someday and then face reality, realizing that we're actually still pretty bad. But that moment of facing reality never comes, so now I'm not so sure what to do."

"So, if that's the case, I hope it's best to never face reality, and to stay like this forever. Just keep in this fantasy state, fight all the way to the S-series, and winning the championship would be the best."

After he finished speaking, the other teammates sitting in the interview area couldn't help but laugh.
