Reborn in S14, crush the entire league!

"No, I can't let myself get so discouraged. Even if things don't go as planned, I have to keep trying!"

Thinking of the helplessness he felt while playing for a weak team in his previous life, Chen Xiao got out of bed again.

Even for the sake of Hextech talent, he cannot give up easily.

When Chen Xiao returned to the training room, he had calmed down.

He has always had a strong ability to regulate his emotions, so much so that he is optimistic.

Xiao Tian was watching a female streamer on Douyu when he saw Chen Xiao arrive. He greeted her with a smile, but his tone carried a hint of regret.

"I don't know what the coaching staff was thinking, you're not starting tomorrow."

Although Xiaotian had been teammates with Xiaobei for a longer time, he still preferred Chen Xiao.

The main reason is that Little Cream is too stubborn and has a foul mouth.

This problem was not improved until the second half of S15.

In addition, the team's poor performance last year contributed to the combination of multiple factors.

Xiao Tian also felt that the team might need some "variables".

For example, the fresh energy brought by Chen Xiao!

"It's alright, there's plenty of time and opportunities to come."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, as if comforting Xiao Tian or himself.

Just then, Maokai rushed over with his tactical notes, and slapped his thigh when he saw Chen Xiao.

It brought good news.

"You and Little Cream will take turns in tomorrow's game. Regardless of the outcome, you'll play in the second game!"

Having received the promise, Chen Xiao finally felt relieved.

"Don't worry, Coach, I'll do my best."

As long as you can play in the game, you have a chance to complete the mission!

New Hextech Talent draw opportunities.

System upgrade.

Every single one of them is crucial and cannot be taken lightly!

"No way, I need to watch WBG's recordings a few more times tonight. I absolutely have to take down Xiaohu tomorrow!"

……

The following day, the LPL Spring Split regular season resumed.

Even before the competition started, the major esports forums were already abuzz with excitement.

As two of the most popular teams in the LPL, the match between Top Esports and WBG directly ignited the traffic of all communities.

On Hupu's esports forum, a poll post with a prominent red "Featured" tagline is prominently displayed.

[Pre-match Prediction] TES vs WBG, who do you think will win?

[WBG forum: Xiaohu's form is improving, Light is consistently carrying, but Top Esports still seems to have the same old problem – inconsistent performance.]

I'm voting for Top Esports. 369's Rumble is in a league of its own right now. Which rookie top laner from WBG can hold his own?

[To the person upstairs, don't forget that WBG's coach is Daeny. You can always trust him when it comes to tactical reserves. Top Esports' Maokai is still a bit inexperienced.]

To be honest, didn't Top Esports win against NIP last game thanks to that rookie mid laner? Why is Little Cream still starting on the roster? I don't understand.

[It's probably just a flash in the pan. They got crushed in practice matches, otherwise there's no reason they wouldn't let them play.]

If the discussions on Hupu were relatively restrained, then the two forums of Anti-Back were a completely different story.

The forum users are still being violent!

"With Top Esports in this state, do they really think they can beat WBG? Xiaohu would practically beat them to a pulp!"

[Top Esports' only designated champion: Transfer Cup champion!]

[Stop the harsh criticism. Our Top Esports player is incredibly strong in scrims, okay? We don't know if he'll perform well in the actual games.]

[Little Cream fighting Little Tiger, isn't this just a typical son beating his father? Have you forgotten last year's World Championship?]

[Where's that newcomer named Chen Xiao? Why did he retreat again? I thought Top Esports was finally going to change their mid laner, but it turns out it's still Creme. Ugh.]

[The Fall of a Prodigy Mid-Lane: From Starter to Substitute in Just One Game]

[Hilarious! Does anyone really think a rookie can save Top Esports? Is the LPL that easy to get into?]

【…】

On Weibo, the hashtag #TESvsWBG# even made it into the top ten trending topics.

The fans on both sides are already fiercely fighting, with various contestants' embarrassing moments and memorable scenes being turned into memes and flying around everywhere. The comment section can be described as a large-scale fan war.

Chen Xiao scrolled through his phone, looking at the comments, his face expressionless.

In esports, results speak for themselves.

Before you demonstrate absolute dominance, any praise can turn into merciless ridicule in the next second.

What he needs to do now is not to argue with people online, but to prove himself on the field.

……

At 5 p.m., the team bus slowly drove into the venue's underground parking lot.

As the car door opened, a wave of cheers, a mixture of fervor and anticipation, rushed out. Even through the thick walls, one could feel the overwhelming enthusiasm within the stadium.

Because both Top Esports and WBG are popular teams in the LPL, this match was specially scheduled by the organizers for prime time on Saturday as the second and final showdown.

The first match was between LNG and JDG.

This was also a clash of titans, attracting the attention of countless viewers.

LNG, the LPL team that excels at late-game team fights!

As for why he plays so well in the late game... well, don't ask.

JDG, despite the departure of ZuoShou and the return of Yagao, has seen a decline in mid-lane strength.

But with two top-tier Korean players, Kanavi and Ruler, the team's floor remains incredibly high!

With the addition of the experienced top laner Flandre, their strength on paper is firmly among the top three in the LPL.

Not to be underestimated!

……

When Chen Xiao and his teammates arrived at the rest room, the match between LNG and JDG had already progressed to the middle of the second game.

On the huge screen, the battle was fierce.

"Holy crap, Gala's positioning is amazing! No wonder he's my good son!" Ah Shui stared at the screen and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

On the screen, Gala's Kai'Sa, despite being chased by three JDG players, managed to hold on using her exceptional positioning and ultimate ability to kite them.

They stalled until their teammates arrived, and then launched a counterattack.

"LNG's lineup is invincible in the late game. If JDG doesn't take the dragon soon, they're doomed," Xiaotian analyzed the situation from the side.

369 stared at Flandre in the top lane, pursing his lips: "That old bastard Flandre is still so cunning, impossible to kill or suppress, disgusting!"

Chen Xiao sat in the corner, quietly watching the game.

He didn't participate in the discussion; his mind was racing, reviewing the WBG match replays he had watched and simulating Xiaohu's possible laning habits and roaming routes.

He kept Coach Maokai's words in mind.

Opportunity favors the prepared mind.

Ultimately, this highly anticipated match ended with LNG winning 2-1.

In the third game, they once again dragged the game into their most familiar rhythm. Scout's Azir used a perfect ultimate in a late-game team fight to push back JDG's two carries, ending the game in one fell swoop.

"These guys are really good at stalling." Ah Shui shook his head.

"Watching their game almost put me to sleep."

"Well, it's not very visually appealing, but it's useful." Meiko smiled and began organizing her peripherals.

Next came Maokai's pre-match instructions.

jump over.

Shortly after, event staff walked in.

Just a reminder that the competition is about to begin!

Little Cream took a deep breath, stood up from her seat, poured herself a glass of cold water and drank it, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness.

They were clearly aware of the significance of this match.

The others also got up and made their final preparations.
