Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 96, Section 93: Dragon God: Shimamura is awesome! (4K, please vote)
It can only be said that by exposing this "Jade Syndrome" at this time and place, Shimamura Yuna has already secured an unassailable position in terms of public opinion.

Although she did not consciously intend to use her depression to gain a moral high ground in public opinion, she had other purposes.

But it was a case of blind cat catching a dead mouse.

The public opinion atmosphere suddenly shifted from conspiracy theories, palace intrigue dramas, and defending Shimamura Yuna.

It turned into a crackdown on marketing accounts and self-media.

Many people who previously followed the lead of self-media have now turned around and attacked these self-media outlets.

[Shimamura-nee told you to stop spreading rumors, didn't you hear me?]

[These unscrupulous self-media outlets are so desperate for clicks they don't care about anything else. May their entire family be wiped out.]

I will never believe any more of these kinds of ridiculous rumors again; they're all just profiting from tragedy.

In fact, these self-media outlets often spread rumors and gossip to gain popularity.

Generally speaking, if their seemingly unrelated rumors are true, they make a fortune.

Even if the rumors are false, just pretend you're dead.

They don't need to guarantee that every piece of their information is correct; they only need to ensure that their information has a certain degree of accuracy.

But this time, they really ran into a brick wall.

In terms of popularity, Shimamura Yuna is definitely not as well-known as veteran LPL players like UZI and ClearLove.

However, her fans are just as loyal and enthusiastic as these people.

Ultimately, people who know UZI and ClearLove may not still be watching the games or paying attention to these two people; they may just have some fragments of memories about them deep in their minds.

However, those who know Shimamura Yuna must be viewers who have been watching and following the game recently.

In other words, UZI may be the most popular player in history.

TheShy is probably the most popular player in modern times.

As for Shimamura Yuna, she embodies the feeling of a rising, new, modern second-tier powerhouse.

You trashy self-media outlets think you can get away with offending the fans of such a contestant?
Furthermore, Shimamura Yuna has the "depression" buff. If these fans were to take this up and escalate it, labeling her as someone who incites cyberbullying and causes depression, then she would be truly finished.

Suddenly, all those bloggers and self-media who were particularly good at spouting nonsense to gain traffic and playing dead when they were wrong have all been brought to their knees.

[I apologize for the unverified statements I made online some time ago.]

I'm sorry, I did many things I shouldn't have done.

A sincere apology letter

Seeing these 'insiders' who usually acted so high and mighty now completely kneeling down, the fans were incredibly happy.

They all exclaimed, "Shimamura-san, we've done a great job!"

In fact, the same group of people who were likely leading the online attacks along with these rumors were probably the same people who were doing so.

But so what?

That's not all there is to the internet.

In this massive online uproar, there was one person who was very glad that he didn't speak out.

This person is the Dragon God.

After repeatedly failing in online clashes with Yuna Shimamura's fans, Ryujin has recently become increasingly unwilling to engage in any direct confrontations with them.

But it wasn't for any other reason.

It's just that I can't bite it back, and every time I try, my data is drained.

As she continued to gain popularity, her fan base dwindled, which ultimately propelled Shimamura Yuna to become Bilibili's top streamer and a rising star in the League of Legends esports scene.

He's not afraid of being the clown himself, but he's afraid of others driving a Range Rover.

Every time he saw Shimamura Yuna's popularity soaring and her career flourishing, he felt disheartened, and over time, he became completely unwilling to mention her.

He would immediately block or ban anyone who mentioned Shimamura Yuna in the live stream.

Even with the recent intense debate about why Yuna Shimamura isn't playing, he hasn't offered any direct comment.

In other words, he subtly contradicted others in the live stream: "Why are you meddling in other teams' affairs? How do you know why they're not playing? If you go online and bully the other team members, what if things turn out differently later and you're wrongly accusing innocent people?"

At the time he said this, Shimamura Yuna had not yet come out to clarify.

He certainly didn't say such things because they were fair or unfair.

It was simply a matter of being a dissenter.

The whole world is saying that Yuna was framed and that she was the victim of palace intrigue.

Then he would have to come out and sing a different tune, saying that Sister Youna was not framed or involved in palace intrigue.

It's all because Yuna's fans are too extreme and love to cyberbully people.

At the time, the comments under his video clips were all criticizing him for "going against the grain."

And guess what happened?

The Dragon God actually managed to catch a dead mouse by sheer luck, and even guessed it right once.

This time, the situation was completely reversed.

At that time, the screen below was full of time police, all saying, "What Brother Shen said makes perfect sense," "Brother Shen, you're right," and "So Brother Shen is so insightful."

The Dragon God himself didn't understand why he was right, but since things had already happened, he simply went along with it.

That very evening, he immediately went live and unilaterally made a stunning reconciliation with Shimamura Yuna.

"Brother Shen, what's your opinion on what Shimamura-san posted today? How can I even comment on it? I can only say, Shimamura-san is amazing!"

"I told you so! I knew it couldn't be like what you guys were saying. There must be a reason why the CFO isn't going to meet Shimamura. How could it be as exaggerated as those conspiracy theories you're talking about! Fellow Bilibili users, are you still going to argue with me???"

"Moreover, what Shimamura said makes sense. For netizens today, depression is definitely not something that can win sympathy. It is definitely a weakness, a vulnerability when things are going against them."

"Don't be fooled by how you guys are all sympathizing with Shimamura-san now, acting like you're so kind. Let me tell you, if she doesn't perform well in the competition, some people will use that as an excuse. Some people are really malicious; they'll be happy if you commit suicide from behind their screens."

"Shimamura-nee hid her illness because she knew what kind of people you netizens were. But she never expected that by hiding her illness, you would cyberbully her teammates. Sigh, Shimamura-nee has no choice but to expose her vulnerability to protect her teammates."

"No problem, Shimamura-san is so great, I'm moved to tears. Although you Shimamura fans are indeed extreme, Shimamura-san herself is still great. From now on, I will firmly support Shimamura-san and become her fan."

"No matter what happens to Shimamura in the future, I will firmly support her to the end because of her action of standing up to protect her teammates!"

"It's okay, I support Shimamura-san joining FS, I support her!"

"She deserves this FS much more than someone like Ma Tou who just exploits traffic! She has a great personality!"

"Shimamura-nee is awesome!"

Ryujin, who has been at odds with Shimamura's fans since Shimamura's debut, suddenly changed his tune and became a staunch defender of Shimamura.

This left many netizens bewildered.

This stark contrast immediately sparked a huge online discussion. Many casual observers commented, "Wait, wasn't this person at odds with Shimamura Yuna? How come he's suddenly a supporter of her?" and "So this idiot can talk after all?"

However, those who know the Dragon God know this.

This is just one part of the reversal of the Dragon God Formula.

When the whole world thought he would continue to contradict Shimamura Yuna, then he could no longer contradict her.

As the saying goes, it's a reversal of technique.

Yuna Shimamura didn't care about these online dramas, nor did she care how much popularity her remarks brought her.

She just felt that her teammates were finally no longer being cyberbullied, and she could finally have some peace and quiet.

The next step is to prepare properly for the upcoming matches.

Using her unstable mental state as a pretext, Shimamura Yuna did not participate in the competition for a period of time afterward.

However, in order to reassure the public, the CFO would occasionally release information about Shimamura Yuna playing in practice matches, giving the impression that "although we haven't let her play, the training is actually going on as usual."

then
Even with Yuna Shimamura absent, CFO maintained a steady winning streak in the regular season.

This is a matter of course.

Ultimately, there are already many LPL players from Taiwan who have been rejected by the league.

These players may not be competitive in the LPL, but they're still very powerful in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

In order to compete with these influential players, even the newly selected contestants from Taiwan are not bad.

Compared to Vietnam, the Pacific, and Japan, this is a game of dimensional reduction.

Since Shimamura Yuna traveled to the end of 24, she might not know this.

in fact
In another parallel universe that she didn't travel to, even without her joining the CFO, she still entered FS.

So, at this moment, her absence as CFO is simply maintaining the status quo of the parallel world.

Therefore, it is only natural that they were able to achieve good results in the regular season.

Ultimately, throughout the entire regular season, except for the first BO3 where Shimamura Yuna participated throughout, the CFO position was rotated between Rest and Driver.

At this point, Shimamura Yuna's fans were still very anxious and hoped that she could play.

However, because of what happened before, they won't rush around attacking people no matter how anxious they are.

All they could do was pray: "Shimamura-san, come on stage quickly! Shimamura-san, come on stage quickly!"

Before we knew it, the regular season was over, and CFO finished second in the LCP standings, only behind another Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan team, TLN.

But even now, Shimamura Yuna still hasn't played.

Every time there's a match, you can see her sitting backstage with the coach watching the game; she looks so cute.

But rather than seeing this adorable little sister backstage, everyone would much rather see her on stage.

Before the competition was almost over, this adorable girl was still sitting backstage, refusing to come out.

Now everyone was really getting anxious.

Will Shimamura Yuna need a whole season to adjust her mental state?

Is she planning to skip all competitions this year and just sit in the training room to recuperate?

But in reality, of course not.

Coach Chawy's initial idea was to keep Shimamura Yuna off the court as long as there were no major problems in the regular season.

Unless the score is really in danger, Shimamura Yuna will not be called in to save the day.

However, judging from the results, LCP was indeed not difficult. For players from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, getting a high ranking in the LCP regular season was not difficult at all.

Because she kept winning and rarely lost, Shimamura Yuna was never good at it.

They just hid it all the way into the playoffs.

Even Coach Chawy believes that if there are no major issues in the playoffs, he won't give Shimamura Yuna too much playing time, not even in the playoffs.

They only intend to test in the most crucial game whether the strategy of having Rest and Driver burn through the opponent's hero pool, and then having Shimamura Yuna come out at the end to finish the game, is feasible.

So what was Shimamura Yuna doing during such a long period of the regular season?
She was just idling around, not doing anything?
The answer is, of course, no.

Although under CFO's current tactical system, the team does not need Shimamura Yuna to take on roles such as tank or warrior.

However, Coach Chawy clearly has higher expectations for her.

He knew that if a player wanted to become a truly top-tier professional player, they couldn't rely solely on mastering a single type of hero to become stronger.

Aside from the CFO, very few top teams currently employ a tactic of rotating two top laners.

Even teams with a stable substitute system are rare.

For most teams, the significance of a substitute is that when the starting lineup performs poorly or self-inflicts a disaster, there is someone to temporarily fill in.

Having to rotate an extra player poses a challenge to most teams' training systems and team cohesion.

It sounds a bit like self-praise.
But Chawy believes that not every coach is as good as him.

I may not be as good as the top coaches in the LPL and LCK, but I'm definitely much better than the mid-tier coaches in the LPL.

A mature rotation system like that for CFOs is impossible for most teams.

Especially in the LPL, many teams strive to have an absolutely stable starting lineup.

If Shimamura Yuna wants to become a truly strong top player, let's not even talk about becoming a versatile player who can do everything.
You need to know a little bit about everything.

You can be a player who has a strong point and a weak point.

But you absolutely cannot be a player whose strengths are great but whose weaknesses are weak.

You can't expect every team to have other types of players to fill her weaknesses, just like the CFO.

With this in mind, Coach Chawy gave Shimamura a firm order during the period when she wasn't in the starting lineup.
"Show me the video!"

This isn't a practice session.

After all, Chawy could see that the reason why Shimamura Yuna couldn't play certain heroes had nothing to do with her skills; it was simply because she lacked the brains.

The saying goes, "If you're clumsy, treat your hands; if you're mentally weak, treat your brain."

In response to Shimamura Yuna's low gaming IQ in certain areas, Dr. Chawy focused on providing specialized treatment during this period.

P.S.: I know that there's a formula for padding out these kinds of transitional scenes.

So I'll make a prediction first, and then reassure you, don't rush, okay?

This is the first chapter today; there will be another chapter later.
