Chapter 55: The Great Light Shines on the Righteousness of Esports, Zero Support Leads to Public Criticism (Please Read Further)
The studio was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Until Xiao Cang's sweet voice rang out.

“Lion…he…is so great…”

Zhou Li waved his hand and said:

“Great flavor, no need for too much salt.”

Applause erupted from the audience, accompanied by gasps and profanities.

"Holy crap! Awesome!"

The viewers in the live stream were even more excited.

I cried, did you?

I've insulted the guy with the loudspeaker before; I'm not human.

[Are these the details of a player who scored 1800 points? It's terrifying!]

[I'm a 2100 MMR player on the Chinese server, mainly playing mid lane, and this is the first time I've heard of this mechanic.]

[I feel like he's even stronger than Team Wind.]

[The Wind Team definitely understands, they're just more conservative.]

Ehome player bench.

Looking at Zhou Li's righteous and righteous face, Death Declaration couldn't help but swear.

"Why the hell is this guy so pretentious?"

MM seemed to have resigned herself to her fate, muttering to herself:
"He certainly has the right to pretend."

Lucky immediately became alert.

"Damn, you didn't get beaten into submission by him, did you?"

"To be honest, I'm really impressed," MM sighed, looking at the game still paused. "I feel like he's not even on the same level as me. This mechanism where attacking someone across the minion wave doesn't attract aggro, if he hadn't told me, I probably would never have known in my life."

Upon hearing MM's words, Death Declaration instantly became furious.

"Stop messing around, you son of a bitch! I just beat up the manager! That little brat just got lucky and discovered this mechanism."

The girl frowned.

"Don't scold him! We should show respect to such a selfless player!"

The expressions on the faces of everyone in Ehome were as ugly as if they had eaten shit.

"Dude, you didn't actually believe all that bragging he said, did you? Is it possible that he did all this just to prove he's not a bug?"

"impossible!"

MM answered decisively.

"If he needs to prove himself, he only needs to replicate it again; there's no need to make this public. I believe him, and that's for the sake of Chinese esports."

Death Declaration felt like he was going crazy.

"Dude, wake up! Is it possible he's just showing off? We still need to win the championship! If we don't, the club will have to disband!!"

Despite the warning of her impending death, MM remained unmoved.

"Have you ever seen anyone reveal their trump card just to show off? Whether I'm a champion or not doesn't matter anymore. I'm already satisfied just to be able to play against a player like him. As a fellow professional player, the gap between us is too big. I'm even thinking of retiring."

The impact of Zhou Li on MM was undoubtedly enormous.

As a fellow mid-lane player, MM is the one who can most deeply feel the insurmountable gap between the two.

If the card play in the previous game was due to cheating, then in this game, whether it was the terrifying basic skill of using minion auto-attacks, the unparalleled accuracy of casting Karthus' Q skill, or the positioning and maneuvering during trades, it all proved that he was not on the same level as his opponent at all.

In addition, there was the match between Zhou Li and CLC that he had watched before.

The first man in League of Legends to kite a turret.

The first man in League of Legends to stop a minion.

At this moment, domestic e-sports players seem to be like frogs in a well.

The appearance of Zhou Li gave MM a feeling of dawn breaking.

Although he hadn't tried it yet, he could tell just by looking that the technique of stopping the soldier by an inch was an extremely difficult skill.

Even with continuous training, MM couldn't guarantee that she could do it.

Moreover, this was during a tense competition.

But MM misunderstood two things. First, although this method of stopping a small soldier was extremely difficult, Zhou Li, who came from more than ten years in the future, had many such trump cards in his hand.

Secondly, Zhou Li was not actually that great; he was just showing off.

Feeling the increasingly intense gazes directed at him from the few women in the audience, and even the sparks flying from some of the men's eyes, Zhou Li silently shut down his charisma.

With the added bonuses of personal charm and socialite status, Zhou Li's reputation will likely skyrocket in a short period of time.

It's important to understand that in a WE team riddled with management problems, reputation is the primary factor in competing with Big Nose for the starting mid-lane position. Skill is actually secondary.

Looking at Zhou Li walking back onto the field, Xiao Cang's eyes revealed emotions she couldn't hide.

"We just received news from the director that Karthus's failure to attract minion aggro when he attacked Orianna across the minion wave was not a game bug, but rather Lion's skillful use of the game's aggro mechanic. Because this technique was discovered and used for the first time in the world, it caused a misunderstanding and was thought to be a game bug."

Upon hearing Xiao Cang's words, a commotion erupted throughout the venue.

This is the first time in the world that such a high semen content has been discovered and used!
TT smacked his lips and said:

"It seems like our Lion player always manages to bring us something we've never heard of before. From pulling the turrets before to pulling minion aggro now... Could our Lion player have traveled back in time?"

Zhou Li, who was about to put on his headphones, paused.

Then Xiao Cang laughed.

"Haha, how could that be? I believe that the development of every new skill is the result of players practicing day and night. We may only notice his brilliance at this moment, but we must remember the sweat hidden behind it. You know, as Lion said, the e-sports industry in our country started relatively late. The Chinese server of League of Legends was launched almost a year later than the foreign servers. Yet Lion was able to perform plays that other regions couldn't do, and some hadn't even discovered yet. Rather than saying it's talent, I think it's more the result of countless hours of hard work in training."

TT nodded upon hearing Xiao Cang's words.

"Indeed, this is something that cannot be obtained simply through talent."

"Xiao Cang is truly a promising young man."

Zhou Li nodded in satisfaction and put on his headphones.

After the referee confirmed that neither side had any objections, the match resumed.

MM had completely lost her will to fight and became more and more cowardly the more she was beaten.

Seeing MM's state, Death's Declaration in the bottom lane became increasingly agitated as the game progressed.

Lucky was worried that Death's Declaration would smash his computer, so he had to focus his ganking efforts on the bottom lane.

This gave Zhou Li an extremely comfortable space to develop.

With no pressure in the laning phase, Zhou Li very kindly helped Dao Ge relieve the pressure of jungling, thoughtfully clearing the F4 and wolves for Dao Ge in every wave, and even occasionally helping the enemy jungler.

However, WE's bot lane also faced immense pressure.

With the support of a player known for his strong playstyle, WE's bot lane was already at a disadvantage.

After Orianna reached level six, this hero, who should have been farming, actually started roaming around.

After all, MM was just too afraid to confront Zhou Li, not simply giving up.

With Orianna and Jarvan IV joining forces, they launched a coordinated attack on WE's bottom lane.

Smile felt the pressure mounting. The bottom lane's first tower had already fallen, and even standing under the second tower, it wasn't safe.

Zhou Li, who used to always roam around providing support when playing Twisted Fate, became a completely different person after playing Karthus this game. For more than 20 minutes, he just kept farming and would only symbolically use his ultimate skill no matter how much the bottom lane was ganked, without ever providing support to the bottom lane once.

Smiling, he maneuvered Ezreal forward and used his Q ability on a minion that was about to enter the tower.

In the jungle, the prince charged out with Orianna's ball!
Smile used her E skill to dodge the Prince's knock-up, but she had no way to avoid the Prince's ultimate.

Fortunately, IF provided Zilean's ultimate in time, but even so, EZ was still killed by Vayne after respawning.

In the live stream room, netizens were already getting excited.

Holy crap, the bot lane is in such a terrible state.

[Smiling's bot lane is completely outmatched this game; his teammates are all dead.]

[Karthus keeps spamming support, but hasn't given a single assist.]

[Who says there wasn't? Didn't you get a kill in the mid lane before? Who says a kill doesn't count as supporting?]

[After all that talk, about drawing aggro from low-level minions and setting new precedents, all that hype, the result is this.]

If Team Wind were here, they definitely wouldn't let Smile be so pitiful.

Just as netizens were debating this matter...

In the live stream, a scarlet line appeared above the heads of each of the five Ehome members.
