Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 287, Section 284: Defeat
They are legends, myths, and immortals of the League.

In most people's minds, even if such a team were to lose in the end, it should be defeated by the heroes in a difficult and ceremonial way, just like the defeat of the Demon King.

But in reality
it's not true.

Reality is not a story.

Neither the hero nor the demon king exists.

The final battle doesn't necessarily have to be full of ritual.

The imagined scenario of the hero defeating the great demon T1 after a great battle never actually happened.

When T1 was about to lose, everything turned out more naturally than anyone expected.

It's simply a matter of insufficient strength.

T1 has already tried its best.

This outcome is simply to be expected.

When Shimamura Yuna's vampire team swept through T1 with its usual dominance, everyone could only sigh, "T1 seems to be really bad this year," and there was nothing else to say.

Because it seems like this was the inevitable outcome.

This is a match where even if there were 100 more best-of-five series, the result might still not change.

Many LPL viewers are probably looking forward to the downfall of the Demon King.

Many are hoping that LPL teams can defeat Faker and T1 head-on in the knockout stage of the World Championship and accomplish something they have never done before.

However, when that day actually arrived, and it was completed in this way, everyone felt a little disappointed.

T1 is not the strongest T1
Yuna Shimamura is not a native LPL player.

Even everyone could sense that it didn't have much to do with WBG's original players.

It was all due to Shimamura Yuna's personal abilities.

She is the protagonist of this era; she is a truly gifted person.

No matter which team Shimamura joins, as long as she's not too weak, she'll most likely be able to achieve today's accomplishments.

Going to TES is fine too.

Even going to AL would be good.

It just so happened that she chose WBG, so in the end WBG accomplished this achievement.

You could even say that she just happened to choose LPL, which is why LPL achieved this.

While many LPL viewers were happy to finally defeat T1 in the S-series knockout stage, they also felt a bit ironic.
What LPL hadn't accomplished for so long was done by a foreign player who had only been in LPL for about two months.

From a certain perspective, it could be said that without this foreign player, it might be very difficult for the LPL to complete this task before the attention surrounding the competition completely fades away.

For LPL viewers, watching WBG win the game might evoke mixed feelings.

However, for Japanese fans, the joy of this victory is something they can accept with a clear conscience.

They don't have as many complicated thoughts as LPL fans.

For them, this match was purely for fun.
The Japanese are simply not good at League of Legends esports.

They are a very marginalized group.

Few people play it, few people pay attention to it, and almost no one plays it well.

At this time, Japanese player Yuna Shimamura became a world-class idol and was still playing in the most important competition in the League of Legends world.

The Japanese wouldn't think much of it.

All we need to do is support Shimamura Yuna!

Not to mention, Shimamura Yuna also faced T1 in this match.

Japanese people may not follow League of Legends esports closely, but they definitely know T1. Everyone knows T1 is the king of the game, and Faker is the GOAT.

Defeating FAKER and Goat was as exciting for them as a hero defeating a demon king.

What competition isn't exciting enough?
The two sides are vastly different in strength.
They don't care about such things at all.

The moment they won, the two commentators on the Japanese commentary booth were so excited that their voices became hoarse.

"The world's strongest top laner from Japan is now surpassing his past glory and heading towards a new peak!"

"Perhaps before this year, no one would have thought that a Japanese person could come into the public eye in the world's most popular e-sports field, League of Legends."

"And now, all of this has become a reality! She is not only a rising star, but she has also defeated the previous world champion and is now marching toward the finals."

"WBG! They're just one step away from the world championship!"

"Yuna Shimamura, the beautiful top laner from Japan, is just one step away from becoming the world's most recognized strongest player!"

Currently, thanks to the presence of Yuna Shimamura, WBG has become the absolute main team for all Japanese fans.

Even at the event, you could see some people cheering for WBG, but the signs they held were not in Chinese or English; they were in Japanese.

Moreover, judging from the writing style and language habits on those signs, it's obvious that they weren't written by local Chinese people.

These people were so happy after WBG won that they were practically going crazy.

One by one, they all cheered for Shimamura Yuna's name.

The sound of "shimamura" was even louder than the Chinese phrase "Shimamura-nee is awesome" spoken at the scene.

Even the Chinese commentator couldn't help but exclaim, "Not only were people cheering for Shimamura-san in Chinese, but also in Japanese and English."

"Now, the eyes of the whole world are focused on this."

"Shimamura Yuna has shone in the world, just as she said at the beginning."

Shimamura Yuna herself didn't care much about these things.

After the match, she felt very tired.

In this crucial match, she achieved the feat of defeating T1 with the vampire, leaving her feeling somewhat dazed.

Although the content of the competition didn't seem particularly special.

However, because of the other party's ID, I still felt a sense of historical weight when completing this action.

Finally, when she got up from her chair to shake hands with Faker, she was a little curious about his expression.

After all, the opponent is the most recognized player in the world.

Even when defeating such a player, she is always somewhat concerned about the opponent's reaction.

Is it disappointment?

Are you unwilling to accept this?

Or.
Letting go?
However, to her surprise...
There was almost no reaction.

Faker simply smiled slightly and nodded to Shimamura Yuna.

It seems that no matter what the outcome is today, he can accept it calmly.

Unlike his opponents who were either dejected or speechless with grief after losing, he was different.

This reaction caused Shimamura Yuna's heart to waver slightly.

'Is losing something not a big deal to him?'

Yuna Shimamura was a little curious about what the real GOAT of League of Legends was thinking, but one's mind cannot be easily read.

Finally, after shaking hands with Faker, he simply said to her, "Good luck from now on."
