League of Legends: Reborn in Season 3, Tuning the Entire League

Chapter 297 A Perfect Debut and the Ionia Cup!

"Holy crap! JM, what the hell is this Yasuo?! Huh?!!" Wu Wukai slammed his fist on the table, his eyes wide like saucers. "I, the Master of Shadows! A top-four mid laner in S3! Under the tower! I got one-shotted by a Yasuo with half my health?! I couldn't even use my ultimate, is this fair, bro? Is this fair?! I'm devastated! I'm really devastated!"

He grabbed his signature hair and exclaimed, "This champion is easy to play? Easy my ass! Designer, look at this damage! This wind wall! This E! How are we supposed to play this?! It's so frustrating!"

[Haha, Ugly Kai is right, that's Yasuo for you.]

[I was thinking, before Ugly Kai entered the game, he was all high and mighty, saying Yasuo was a weak champion. And now? (doge)]

[I just entered the game, and the streamer already has a 0-3 score.]

[JM really spoils his fans. Worried that the material he used to explain the new hero wouldn't be authoritative enough, he found a mid-laner who reached the semifinals of the World Championship to verify it, and even used the hero JM himself is known for, Zed.]

[Come on, place your bets! Let's see how long it takes the streamer to beat the "wild card" today. We're currently at 3/8!]

[Damn, JM is a devil! He's a perfectly good boss, yet he spends all his time trying to cure professional gamers' internet addiction.]

Even Wu Wukai himself probably didn't expect that after being stabbed by Yasuo, the "classic" sentence he blurted out when his blood pressure was soared and he instantly lost his temper would unexpectedly replace the "bible" of a future professional player and become the universal template for players to angrily criticize the overpowered monsters designed by Riot Games!
The main reason was that he ran into JM in a random match. The news spread among the viewers in the live stream, attracting many onlookers, professional players, and even streamers who wanted to gain traffic. Now, they witnessed the famous scene of Ugly being solo killed by Yasuo under the tower, breaking his defense in a second, and the popularity of the live stream skyrocketed.

No one expected that being utterly crushed by JM in a high-level game would still boost his popularity. In the end, this classic rant attracted many more fans, leading him down a comedic path with a completely different process from the original timeline, but with the exact same result.

He cleared his throat, forcibly suppressing his surging blood pressure. "Brothers, what do you guys think of this?"

Seeing the popularity number in the upper right corner of the live stream, which had increased many times over and was still rising rapidly, Wu Wukai tried his best to squeeze his previously contorted bitter face into a chrysanthemum shape, and his lips twitched as he tried to smile.

"It seems I've actually turned misfortune into good fortune?"

"Forget it, forget it. I'm just a loser who plays games and acts crazy in front of the camera to make my brothers laugh. What's the point of comparing myself to someone like JM, who has cheat codes? Pshaw, what's the point of comparing myself to his boss!"

Determined to capitalize on this sudden surge of popularity, Wu Wukai instantly adjusted his mindset. After a "tactical cough," his voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of forced excitement and a "go-for-it" attitude:

"Hey guys! See this?! This is the answer to the current patch! This is the designer's dream man! Yasuo! Strong! Invincible!"

"Especially Jm's Yasuo, the world's best unpredictable swordsman after the world's best Zed."

"Consider this a teaching match! A cautionary tale! To show you how to... how to keep your composure when facing this kind of monster! Right? Come on! Type 'understand' in the chat!"

"Feeling bad? Not at all! I apologize to Kai, pour the brothers a cappuccino! Let's keep going! Today we have to figure out this 'Yasuo laning strategy' for the brothers!"

"Watch my performance as the King of Stress Resistance! I will survive this one time!"

……

In his live stream, Wu Wukai boldly declared to the audience that he would "never die again," but before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ming's Swift Swordsman had already stealthily made his way to the bottom lane battlefield like a ghost.

Although the purple team's duo were high-ranking solo queue players, the gap between them and Liang Xiaosan and Moon, two bot laners who had been tempered by the intense competition of professional leagues, became immediately apparent.

In just over ten minutes, the two were firmly pinned under the tower, becoming veritable "tower children," even their last-hitting became extremely cautious. The tower's health rapidly decreased under the precise harassment of NXG White Team's support moon and the steady damage output of Liang Xiaosan, and it looked like it was about to fall.

"Tsk, if it weren't for that kid Zed who was feeding like an assembly line, the main characters today should have been the two of us." Liang Xiaosan's lips curled up wildly as she controlled her hero to chip away at the opponent's health again and again, a relaxed smile on her face as she enjoyed the advantage brought by Moon's meticulous protection and lane dominance.

"The jungler is here!" Moon's calm voice suddenly broke the silence.

“The prince? His development is just so-so,” Liang Xiaosan quickly glanced at the minimap, his confidence largely stemming from the meticulous protection he received from his support earlier. “I think we can try our luck.”

A scene even flashed through his mind: Moon making a godlike maneuver to control the two of them, while he himself excitedly shouted "Nice!"

Yes, the division of labor is clear.

However, his ease vanished in an instant the next second!

"Wait—oh my god!! Yasuo! When did Yasuo get here too?!" Liang Xiaosan's exclamation was sharp and incredulous.

The Demacian prince suddenly emerged from the shadows without any probing, unleashing an unreasonable EQ combo straight at the two. The purple team's jungler had a clear objective: whoever it was, he only needed to catch one of them!
"Blink!" Moon's warning rang out in the blink of an eye.

But Liang Xiaosan's momentary hesitation and obsession with provincial skills caused him to miss his last chance to survive, and the prince's halberd accurately sent the policewoman flying into the air!
“Very spicy!”

A chilling sense of despair instantly gripped Liang Xiaosan's heart. Out of the corner of his eye, he clearly saw the swordsman at the Xiaolongkeng Pass, surrounded by deadly gales, suddenly blur in figure—using his knocked-back body as a springboard, a sword light that had traversed an enormous distance arrived in an instant, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air!

[Whirlwind Slash!]

"Ugh—!"

The hero was forcibly swept into the sky by the irresistible hurricane, his vision spinning.

"Aaaaaah, Flash! Flash!"

Liang Xiaosan frantically typed on the keyboard, trying to use her summoner spells to escape after Yasuo's ultimate ended. However, just like before, the swordsman, who had already used Q on the dragon to build up his passive, landed and unleashed another Whirlwind Slash.

"Face Hayate!"

The classic lines appeared, the sword light faded, and the policewoman's screen instantly turned black and white.

(Blue team channel:)
Wh1t3zZ: "Sorry, you two, this time..."

Seeing that his own bot lane duo's screen was grayed out, he quickly admitted defeat before Liang Xiaosan could complain.

There was nothing he could do. Yasuo on the other side stood proudly in the Rift with a glaring "5-0" score above his head, while Zed... if he said anything more at this moment, he might be drowned out by the wrath of his own fans and four teammates.

At the thirteen-minute mark, the battle for the dragon began.

The turning point came unexpectedly! The purple team's prince made a fatal positioning mistake and was caught by Blitzcrank's precise [Mechanical Claw] from the shadows of the dragon pit, instantly dragged into the dragon pit and focused down for a quick kill!

"Nice! Counter-attack! Counter-attack!"

The blue team's voice chat was instantly ignited with excited shouts.

With a numerical advantage and the enemy jungler eliminated in seconds, the balance of victory in this team fight seemed to have shifted.

The chat in Wu Wukai's live stream was filled with comments like "A comeback is possible."

Humans are sometimes strange like that; while marveling at someone's achievements, they always have the urge to bring that person down from their pedestal. However, in that brief moment of cheers, the figure who had just made the live stream chat scream once again became the master of the Rift.

Faced with the dragon being pulled out of the pit and its health gradually decreasing, Jiang Ming, equipped with the Statikk Shiv and B.F. Sword, did not choose to avoid exchanging resources as he had previously commanded his other NXG teammates.

At this moment, the swordsman is like the most patient hunter, always hovering in the blind spot of the team fight, his sword blade slicing through the thick body of the blue buff time and time again, patiently accumulating the sword intent of the passive [Whirlwind Slash].

Ding! A clear marker signal point is located in the center of the blue team's group.

The purple team's top laner, Malphite, immediately understood and, trusting JM, unleashed his massive body with unstoppable force, crashing into the crowd!

“Hit it!”

boom--!
The earth trembled! The unstoppable shockwave instantly slammed the blue team's mid laner Zed, ADC, and jungler Vi into the air!
"Catch it! Yasuo, catch it!" The shouts from the purple team teammates almost broke through the network's limitations.

The nerves of all viewers in Huya's live stream room were on edge at this moment, eagerly awaiting the familiar white dotted line to light up.

However, Jiang Ming didn't move!

This man, who seemed to have kicked his "drug addiction" for ten years in the original timeline, forcefully suppressed the instinct ingrained in his DNA when controlling the Happy Wind Man!
Jiang Ming's sharp gaze was fixed not on the three prey that had been knocked away, but on the two remaining threats in the blue team's formation who were still standing firmly:

The top laner Renekton has unleashed his ultimate dominance and grown in size, while the support Blitzcrank has just made a contribution and is poised to unleash his hook!
The crocodile and the robot were not controlled!
He is currently the most fed player on the purple side. If he recklessly enters the fray and gets controlled, he is likely to die instantly. However, just as his own duo laner charged forward and instantly caught up with the top laner, forcing MOON to use his ultimate to silence him, he suddenly appeared.

It's now!

After teasing the blue buff for a long time and bringing it to a special location, Jiang Ming finally pressed his E skill.

[Step Forward Slash]!
With a flash of sword light, Yasuo's graceful figure glided past the Blue Buff.

Summoner Spell: A Golden Explosion!
He instantly traversed the vast distance from the entrance to the purple side's jungle to the blue side's core position!
The canyon was once again swept by a hurricane.

Amidst shouts of "Solie Akhun!", the blue team heroes once again completed their takeoff performance in the live stream.

Liang Xiaosan's face darkened; as a squishy AD carry, he melted instantly.

"But Yasuo must die too!"

The moment they landed, a crisis arose!
MOON, realizing what was happening, didn't intentionally give way to his boss's brilliant performance. The robot's cold mechanical arm had already swung out, and the deadly [Mechanical Claw] tore through the air, aiming straight for Yasuo's throat as he landed!
At the same time, Wu Wukai, who had finally landed after being knocked into the air, revealed a fierce glint in his eyes. Three poisoned shuriken shot out in a triangular formation, blocking all of Yasuo's dodge angles!
"We can kill them!!" A glimmer of hope had just risen in the hearts of the blue team members.

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of Heaven."

With a low murmur from the hero, Jiang Ming's operation had only just begun!
For a live stream of Season 4, what could be more effective at attracting viewers than incredible plays?

As if Yasuo had foreseen everything, the instant he landed, he flicked his wrist, and a whistling [Wind Barrier] instantly rose up in front of him! The mechanical claw, capable of turning the tide of battle, crashed into the wind barrier and was silently disintegrated like a clay ox entering the sea! Zed's deadly darts were also completely blocked by the wind barrier with a clang!
[W is blocked! It's completely blocked!!]

The live stream chat erupted with countless gasps of disbelief.

Deflecting the deadly crisis, the ronin swordsman didn't hesitate for a moment! His figure moved like a butterfly flitting among flowers, beginning a dance of death among the remaining blue team heroes!

[Step Forward Slash] Press the button repeatedly to weave back and forth between the blue team heroes, but each movement precisely dodges the crocodile that tries to bite when it tries to get close. Similarly, each slide makes Zed's desperately thrown skills miss!
The sword flashed, and each movement was accompanied by a blue team hero's health bar plummeting!

A 50% chance of a critical hit?

No, in the hands of a true lucky player, even the critical hit rate of the electric blade is 100%.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" The swift blades relentlessly reaped the rewards.

The robot, with low health, fell first! The jungler Vi, attempting to escape, followed closely behind!

Amidst screams of "Gaia," Wu Wukai used his Death Flash to try and preserve his vow of immortality. Unfortunately, he was ultimately caught up by Yasuo's relentless Sprint, and Yasuo's final, sharp Steel Slash pierced his heart!
"Triple Kill!" The resounding system notification echoed throughout the canyon!

In the end, only the lone crocodile, who activated his ultimate but couldn't even touch Yasuo's clothes, remained.

Inside the NXG training room, Zhu Xiaolong looked awkwardly at the teammates filling the space behind him.

"Don't look at me like that, I really didn't do this on purpose."

Under the combined fire of the Stone Golem and the arriving purple team duo, the crocodile's massive body also crashed to the ground.

"Quadra Kill!!!" The announcement of the quadra kill was like a death knell!
(Chat with everyone)

Long: "Ming-ge, please, go easy on him! This Yasuo is so good, even AFK in the fountain doesn't feel safe! (covers face)"

55kai: "We were brothers in arms in Season 3! Can't you give your brother some face? Your Q skill... at least take one hit! Just one!"

MOON: "Ming-ge... I don't think I'm suited to playing with robots."

JM: "No, you play Blitzcrank quite well, it's just that Yasuo's Wind Wall is a good counter to Blitzcrank's Q."

[He really made me want to cry, but he still managed to comfort his own support player.]

[JM: A true hero at the BUG level? Brothers, believe me, I haven't played Yasuo that many times, it's purely a combination of hot streak and good luck! (Just kidding)]

[To be honest, MOON's Blitzcrank did his best to carry! His first hook on Jarvan IV established a numerical advantage, and he focused on Yasuo with his abilities, his awareness was off the charts! But the enemy team was cheating… (laughing and crying emoji)]

As the smoke cleared from the final dragon team fight, the blue team's last hope of a comeback was extinguished when faced with the Jax, whose equipment was overwhelming and whose skills moved like ghosts across the battlefield, achieving a godlike status. They typed GG with a helpless, bitter laugh.

On the other end of the screen, Jiang Ming, who won his first game of the new season, did not end the live broadcast in a hurry as usual.

His gaze swept over the explosive barrage of comments filled with "666", "Godlike!" and "Please teach me!", and a calm smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't worry, I'll upload the Yasuo detailed gameplay and combo tutorial I promised everyone," the young man said gently. "It will be uploaded on time, before midnight tonight!"

Before he finished speaking, he did something that surprised all the viewers. Instead of turning off the camera and ending the broadcast, he solemnly took out a poster with a great design and striking color contrast from outside the camera!

"League of Legends Ionia Cup!"
