Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 59, Section 57: Gold Medal Instructor Yuna
[No, you weren't just into vampires all along, why did you lie to us?]

It's okay, it's just a streetlamp vampire.

Seeing the exaggerated reactions in the chat, Shimamura Yuna couldn't help but wonder: 'Can't I even have a slight advantage in my placement matches on a new account? Isn't that normal?'

However, she can understand why the audience reacted that way.

Generally speaking, when many high-ranking players play heroes they are completely unfamiliar with in lower ranks, the result is that their mechanics are very clumsy and they lack proficiency, yet they still manage to win.

The reason is that many low-ranked players, even when playing their signature heroes, are not perfect in terms of laning details and hero strategies; in fact, they are full of mistakes.

While both players have similarly flawed hero proficiency, high-ranking players can use their awareness and basic skills, including last-hitting and lane management, to completely outmaneuver low-ranking players.

This is normal.

But Shimamura Yuna, this is clearly not normal.

Her Jax proficiency is too high.

It's not just this initial wave.
The subsequent E counter-controls, Q pulls and jumps to the inner circle, including calculations of Darius's cooldowns and his own.

It's obvious that she not only had a level advantage over this Darius player.

Her hero proficiency is also more than sufficient.

She could open an account called "Weapon King Yuna" and post compilations of her playing as a Bronze and Silver Master weapon user, which would seem reasonable.

Her weapon handling did look too smooth, which made it seem odd.

But Shimamura Yuna herself knew that there was nothing strange about it. She had certainly put in the effort to practice with common and popular heroes like the Weapon Master.

The so-called "signature heroes" of an LPL-level player refer to the heroes they can use and still carry in top-tier leagues. Saying she can't play other heroes means she can't achieve the same top-tier results with other heroes as a mage carry.

In fact, even if all the magic-based champions were banned, she would still be considered a decent, or even outstanding, player who falls between the top tier of the LDL and the bottom tier of the LPL.

Rather than saying she only knows how to play mage-centric heroes, it's more accurate to say that mage-centric heroes have elevated her to a level that doesn't belong to her.

It was the magic core that made her, a player who should have only been at the LDL level, look like she was at the upper-middle level of the LPL, which made the audience pay so much attention to her at the time.

It was her magic core that allowed her to carry several games in the LPL, raising the audience's expectations.

Then, when she uses other non-core heroes, she fails to achieve the same effect as Gwen and Vladimir, which disappoints everyone and makes them think, "This guy is just a one-trick pony."

She was different from those bottom-tier, unremarkable players from the very beginning. People were disappointed in her precisely because she had given them hope.

But that doesn't mean she can't play those heroes.

Her problem has never been hero proficiency.

at least
If you're playing ranked matches, even in the Korean server's Challenger tier, it's more than enough, let alone a match like this.

Perhaps because the pressure in this game is indeed too low right now, Shimamura Yuna has started doing live commentary again, which is quite rare for her.

"Sigh, this Darius player, he's a bit bad at playing him."

"We'll Q-jump in and dodge into the inner circle. He's going to pull us in, he definitely will at this moment, watch out."

"At this point, we need to use E to control and offset the effect; we've made a big profit from this."

"He's out of the game, he'll definitely call for the jungler, so we need to keep an eye on his movements. Let's send a signal to our jungler so they can come and help."

"The enemy jungler did indeed gank me. But it's okay, we're in good shape, with a significant level and equipment advantage, so we can still make plays."

"Let's stall for as long as possible, until the jungler arrives."

"Sigh, there's no other way. I've pushed my skills to the limit, so I have to trade one for one. It's okay, the jungler is coming to farm this wave, so I got two for one, not a loss."

The long-awaited, rambling tutorial livestream instantly brought back the flavor for viewers. Many viewers first saw a clip of Yuna Shimamura teaching while playing, in a segment reminiscent of a martial arts instructor, which generated a lot of entertainment.

Unfortunately, in order to conserve her energy, Shimamura Yuna gradually became a silent broadcaster, which many new viewers found regrettable.

Unexpectedly, the long-awaited live broadcast of the teaching department has returned today.

Moreover, although it was previously said that her style was similar to Teacher Ma's, Shimamura Yuna played in the Grandmaster and Master ranks of the Chinese server, not in the Silver and Bronze ranks where her ID was hidden.

This time, even his skill level is almost the same as Teacher Ma's. Now it tastes just right!

【Hey there, it's me, the top lecturer Da You Na!】

[Teacher Yuna is pretty good]

[What can I say about this? You're so cheeky, so cheeky all you want.]

[Lunch is served, students!]

The comments section was filled with Ma Laoshi's tired jokes, while Shimamura Yuna was focused on dominating the game and talking to herself.

And so, we won the first game, just like that.

As the game progressed, people's attitudes toward Shimamura Yuna changed slightly.

While playing in a low-ranked bracket doesn't prove anything, it at least makes people realize that Shimamura Yuna isn't completely incapable of playing other heroes; it's just that other heroes aren't as easy to climb ranks with in higher brackets, or perhaps she doesn't play them as well as Vladimir.

However, at this point, some people will naturally feel...
[Playing placement matches in low-ranked brackets has caused a huge mess]

[Stomping noobs has caused all this trouble]

[The "ghost saint filial son" is almost finished; he's blowing his own horn after playing a cancer-stricken Darius.]

Such comments will certainly exist.

The reason Shimamura Yuna came to rank up today is to change everyone's perception.

Make them realize
Actually, I can play anything.

'And it's the same at higher skill levels.'

With this in mind, Shimamura Yuna continued her live stream for the day, starting the second session.

As expected, with Shimamura Yuna's skill level, she could easily crush the opponent in a pure lane matchup.

In Shimamura Yuna's eyes, every opponent in this qualifying tournament was full of flaws, and she was able to seize upon and punish every mistake her opponents made.

Punishing them little by little can quickly cause their collapse.

In less than ten minutes, Shimamura Yuna had already created an exaggerated gap in last hits with her opponent, and had killed her opponent 5 times in just one lane matchup.

When people watch Shimamura Yuna play high-level games, she's always playing a pure turtle, purely focused on last-hitting minions, and a style that gives no chances to her opponents.

As a result, today, a rare massacre unfolded, a veritable visual experiment.

This contrast surprised viewers who were used to Shimamura Yuna's style.

Holy crap, this low-elo game stream is really entertaining! It's way more fun than those crazy spammers!

[Sister Yuna, why don't you hurry up and switch jobs? Stop playing high-level games and become a top-tier instructor, Yuna!]

P.S.: There will be another chapter later, the first chapter of today.
