Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 286. The Result
For Shimamura Yuna
In situations like this, choosing to use a vampire is not just a typical hero selection.

It's more like a ritual.

From the beginning of her career, she was known as the "Vampire Master".

Whether it is in the previous life or this life.

However, the vampire is not a very good hero.

Even in the current version, despite the global ban/pick system and Riot's custom buffs to artificially increase its pick rate, this character's strength is still quite average.

It's only "barely playable".

The reason the team chose to pick this hero wasn't because she was actually very strong.

Rather, it's because "this is an unconventional role."

Because if the opposing team has to use a ban slot for this kind of character, it's a very profitable situation for WBG.

Ultimately, it's because we're not strong enough.

In this situation...
Yuna Shimamura sometimes feels a little sad.

She wasn't someone with a strong belief in heroes.

She never claimed that vampires were her true heroes.

Ultimately, what's so appealing about this character, from their design and plot to their appearance?

Actually, there are basically none.

He's unremarkable, lacks personal charm, has an average appearance, and is a villain.

She simply enjoys playing this role.

I like this character's skill set.

I enjoy the gaming experience this character provides.

That feeling of the girl dominating the early game and then taking over the game later.
There is a sense of security that is hard to describe in words.

It's as if as long as you follow this path dependency, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

She doesn't like this role.

She only likes this skill set.

What I enjoy is the sense of peace and comfort I feel as I gradually become familiar with the game and grow stronger.

At that time, she didn't understand that this hero couldn't be played in the game.

I don't understand what a suitable role is for professional competitions.

She grew up alongside the vampire character.

She gradually became the number one Vladimir player in the Korean server and the strongest top lane carry player in China.

However, vampires are considered "unsuitable for the competition".

In this situation...
She wasn't too heartbroken.

However, it's somewhat of a pity.

After all, it's the character I've been playing all along.

If this role is rejected, she feels as if everything she has experienced in the past is also rejected.

Therefore, she has always felt that being able to use the vampire hero on an important stage is a very ceremonial thing.

Regardless of strength or weakness.

It’s not about right or wrong.

That's all.
It affirms all the efforts I have made in the past.

That's it.

She is enjoying herself very much right now.
However, unlike before, she has now chosen to play Vladimir in the mid lane.

The Vampire is clearly a more popular choice for the mid lane than the top lane.

Although the problems of weak laning phase and late power spike still exist and have not been completely resolved.

However, it solved the problem to some extent.
This character is generally more suitable for the mid lane than the top lane.

More advantageous matchups.

Fewer unfavorable matchups.

A game rhythm that better suits the style.

But Shimamura Yuna has rarely played it.

Because she plays Vampire on the top lane, she's seeking a sense of security. A sense of security that allows her to be isolated from the world.

This is something that's difficult to achieve if you're positioned in the middle lane.

The mid lane is the position with the heaviest responsibility in the entire game.

It's the position where you need to do the most things in the entire game.

This position is extremely important for laning, roaming, and judging the overall situation.

To be honest, Shimamura Yuna doesn't consider herself a qualified mid-lane player.

She felt she couldn't play mid lane.

But
Currently, she shoulders more responsibility than a typical mid-laner would.

Although she was positioned in the middle lane, many tasks were actually handled by Xiaohu and Xiaotian.

The only reason she was here
It's about eliminating the opponent's mid-laner.

The mid lane is always the most popular and core lane in this game.

Basically, the strongest players are always more likely to choose the mid lane as their position.

This results in the mid lane always being filled with formidable players.

Speaking of the remaining two opponents
Chovy of GENG and Faker of T1 are both core players of their respective teams and are well-known star players who have a great influence on the game.

Little Tiger is not bad.

However, consistently suppressing these players might be a difficult task.

What she came to the mid lane was to do what Xiaohu couldn't do.

To suppress and restrict these players.

Let these players who all think they're the strongest see what it truly means to be outmatched and to be truly exceptional.

Xiao Hu does things she can't do, and she does things Xiao Hu can't do.

This left these "strongest" players breathless.

That is the meaning of her existence.

T1 releasing Shimamura Yuna's vampire was largely to test whether it was a smokescreen at the last minute.

In other words, it's commonly known as wanting to die knowing why.

They wanted to test this supposedly powerful choice by playing the game themselves.

But
The result was that even though the hero was released and Shimamura Yuna picked it, they still weren't quite sure whether this hero's priority was really that high.

Yuna Shimamura is just too strong.

When playing Vladimir against Faker, she still demonstrated her usual laning prowess.

It is still an operation so precise it's almost robotic.

It remains in a state where it never makes a mistake.

She's so strong that she's blurred the lines of hero strength to a large extent.

As her opponent, T1 couldn't tell the difference.

They didn't know whether the power the vampires were currently displaying came from the vampire hero or was simply Shimamura Yuna dominating the weak.

That's right, they've already started to suspect they're the ones getting wrecked.

However, one thing is undeniable.
That is, the cheers from the audience gradually faded into just one sound as the competition progressed.

"Go WBG!!! Go WBG!!!"

"Shimamura-nee is awesome!"

T1 fans gradually fell silent.

Some even left the game prematurely, only halfway through.

Anyone could see that this fourth game was a complete mess.

Given that T1's gameplay was inferior to WBG's in the first three games, this game seemed even more incomprehensible.

They lost their will and fighting spirit.

Therefore, they couldn't even put up a last-ditch resistance.

就连某二路解说看到这个画面都忍不住悲叹：“我靠，我还以为T1怎么样也得打到3:2了。这是直接3:1被虐了啊。”

For T1, if this is the final result of a year, it is certainly not satisfactory.
