LOL: The strongest all-Chinese team? My G2 top laner

"System, start the draw!"

Jiang Ling took a deep breath and focused his mind.

"All four thousand negative emotion points have been drained!"

[1000 negative emotion points consumed, lottery draw in progress...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: "Lissandra Top-Tier Proficiency"]

[1000 negative emotion points consumed, lottery draw in progress...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: "Sion's Top-Tier Proficiency"]

【…】

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 3 attribute points]

【…】

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: "Steel Bones (Label)"]

A series of prompts rang in my mind, and my negative emotion value instantly dropped to only 397 points.

"Lissandra? Sion?"

Jiang Ling looked at the reward and muttered to himself, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Prior to this, he had already achieved top-tier mastery of three aggressive top laners: Jayce, Camille, and Fiora.

Three tricks are enough.

But to be honest, in professional matches, just being good at attacking isn't enough.

Lissandra and Sion, one a mage tank and the other a tank, are indeed a great addition to his champion pool.

"But can Lissandra be played in the top lane?"

Jiang Ling frowned and quickly went through the current version's ecosystem in his mind.

In Season 8, Lissandra was indeed a popular choice for mid lane.

Glacier amplification, aftershocks, and Aere – each of these three schools of thought has its own merits.

It has fast lane pushing ability, strong roaming ability, AOE control in team fights, and can use its ultimate to protect itself or counter-kill when facing assassins.

Fully functional.

But what about getting on the road?

Jiang Ling thought about it carefully and realized that Lissandra was almost never seen in the top lane in this version.

"However, with top-tier proficiency, laning shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"As for Sion..."

It can withstand attacks and deal damage, has crowd control and shields, and can even turn into a zombie after death to unleash a burst of damage.

In the current version, Sion can be considered a perennial favorite in the top lane.

Then, Jiang Ling turned his attention to the 3 attribute points.

Open the properties panel:

[Operation: 86]

[Reaction: 84]

[Consciousness: 85]

[Field of view: 82]

[Hand speed: 100 (reaching the human limit)]

【…】

A field of view of 82 points is the lowest.

Jiang Ling made a decision without hesitation.

[Consumes 100 points of positive emotion, increases vision by 1]

[Consumes 100 points of positive emotion, increases vision by 1]

[Consumes 100 points of positive emotion, increases vision by 1]

Three notifications flashed by.

The field of vision jumped from 82 to 85.

Jiang Ling nodded in satisfaction.

His hand speed is already maxed out. What he needs to do next is to improve all his attributes in a balanced way to avoid any obvious weaknesses.

To avoid the "weakest link" effect, no hair!

After all, professional esports is not ranked.

In ranked games, if you have good skills and can dominate your opponent, you can climb the ranks.

However, professional competitions require comprehensive skills and place greater emphasis on teamwork.

Operation, reaction, awareness, vision, teamwork...

Any weakness in any link can be seized upon by the opponent and become their breakthrough point.

"Next, I need to find a way to get my operation, reaction, and awareness all above 90."

Jiang Ling was making plans in his mind.

Finally, his gaze fell on the fourth reward.

[Steel and Iron Body (Label): Wearing this will prevent jet lag, acclimatization issues, or other factors from affecting your performance. Furthermore, it will not be digested or absorbed after ingesting toxic substances; instead, it will be excreted in the shortest possible time.]

When Jiang Ling saw the words "steel and iron body", his first reaction was that they were invulnerable to swords and spears and indestructible.

When I clicked on the introduction, I was quite disappointed.

He thought he could become a Superhero!

But then I thought about it again, and this thing is actually quite useful!

Jet lag and acclimatization issues are nightmares for professional gamers.

Especially this year's World Championships will be held in the Great Cold Kingdom.

Europe and South Korea are almost back-to-back on Earth!

Now that we have "Steel Bones and Iron Bones," none of these are problems anymore.

"and……"

"If you eat something poisonous, it will be excreted immediately."

"Holy crap, isn't this just being immune to all poisons?"

The more Jiang Ling thought about it, the more awesome the label seemed.

For professional players competing away from home, diet is one of the most troublesome issues.

Now that we have "Steel Bones and Iron Bones", we don't need to worry about related issues at all!

"System, equip 'Steel Bones'."

[Ding—The "Steel and Iron Body" label has been attached.]

Jiang Ling checked himself over, and his body didn't seem to have changed much.

"I wonder if I'll be able to eat beef noodles without worry after wearing this?"

"Forget it, let's not be reckless."

Jiang Ling shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

……

The online uproar caused by Uzi's withdrawal from the Asian Games continues.

Even on June 25th, when the official announcement was made that JackeyLove had officially joined the Chinese team for the League of Legends demonstration event at the Jakarta Asian Games, filling the vacancy left by Uzi's departure, the story didn't end there.

A new round of online battles has begun.

"Sending a newcomer who has never competed in an international tournament to the Asian Games? The officials are really audacious."

"Heh, isn't Smlz better than JackeyLove?"

"I think Iboy would be fine too, why JackeyLove of all people?"

"What's wrong with JackeyLove? He played so well in the Spring Split finals! Are you blind?"

"Smlz is good, but WE, EDG, and RNG all have players selected, so we need to balance things out, right?"

"..."

Jiang Ling saw these comments and just smiled.

For him, it didn't matter who participated in the Asian Games or not.

After all, it's not like Letme quit and the team is short-handed.

……

Time flies, and it's already July.

The S8 League of Legends Intercontinental Cup has officially begun.

The 13 regions around the world are divided into 5 competitive groups to conduct team point-based competitions.

The competition between Europe and the United States was the first to begin.

League of Legends is about to enter its eighth season.

For eight years, whether EU > NA or NA > EU has been a topic of endless debate among players.

The two sides, Western and European netizens, went back and forth, neither willing to concede to the other.

This debate has continued from S1 to the present without ever stopping.

Players, coaches, fans, and club owners alike are all unwilling to admit that the other region is stronger.

In this intercontinental tournament group stage, the North American region narrowly won 5-4, earning the right to choose sides in the finals.

In the first game of the best-of-five series on the final day, FNC won cleanly and decisively.

However, the following match plunged all EU fans into despair.

Game 2, G2, lost!

The third match, MSF, was lost!

In the fourth match, SPY lost!

The North American region defeated the European region 3-1 to successfully defend their title.

Because it's an away game.

The European athletes were even more embarrassed by the cheers from the North American audience.

After the match, European social media was filled with lamentations:

"How could we lose to NA? How could we possibly lose to NA?"

"The 'generous gift crab'—only FNC won; are the other teams really unable to win a single game?"

"What are G2 doing? What are MSF doing? What are SPY doing?"

"..."

Amidst the cries of lamentation and insults, one post rose to the top of the trending list:

The last international tournament champion from the European region was Fnatic in Season 1. How far away is the next international tournament championship?

A top-rated answer: "That's roughly the day Demon gets to play for G2..."
