LOL: Do I have to be a spinning top too?

He counted the time on his fingers; they had played three games against IG.

Even if each game lasts thirty minutes, it would still take two hours to play.

And how long has it been since he went out to eat?

It took less than two and a half hours in total.

What does this mean?

This means that each of the three games ended very quickly.

IG had almost no chance to fight back.

"What's going on? TES is so strong today?"

Yu Wenbo's voice was clearly filled with surprise.

The live chat exploded instantly, with fans typing furiously:

"The new top laner Glory is too strong, he picked Neny three times in a row!"

"Two MVPs in three games, Riven, Sett, Vayne, dominating every single one."

"Jack, you're in luck now! Your path is finally no longer a spinning top!"

"Weren't we worried about having no one in the top lane next season?"

  

"That's great, our youth training program has produced a superstar."

"Wayward's gone, and an even stronger one has arrived. That's great!"

The live chat was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Occasionally, a few comments from trolls would be interspersed:

"Jack, a Vietnam War veteran, won't be feeding in the top lane next season."

"It's your turn to deliver it."

"Don't get too excited. It's just the Demacia Cup. Once you get to the LPL, you'll be taught a lesson by the veteran top laners and you'll behave yourself."

"Playing against IG's second team is a mess. IG's lineup is just here to practice in the Demacia Cup."

Yu Wenbo selectively ignored those black bullet screens.

He leaned back in his chair, his expression turning serious.

"Really? Then I'll have to watch the replay later."

He has been on vacation since being eliminated in the group stage of the S12 World Championship.

After all, the defeat in the Vietnam War was too humiliating, and the whole team needed time to recover.

I sleep until I naturally wake up during the day, go out for dinner and drinks with friends in the evening, and occasionally go live to chat with my viewers.

The contract renewal negotiations went very quickly; Guo Hao showed great sincerity, and he genuinely had no intention of leaving TES...

After all, it's the team he's been with since leaving IG, so there's a strong emotional connection there.

During his vacation, he barely paid attention to club news.

All I know is that during the transfer window, Left Hand left, Rookie is coming, and Tian renewed his contract.

As for the matter of changing the top laner, Guo Hao had mentioned it to him, saying that there was a good newcomer in the youth training program, and they were going to bring him up for the Demacia Cup.

He didn't pay much attention at the time.

As for young talents, dozens or even hundreds can emerge in the LPL every year, but only a very small number can truly make it big.

Most of them just came up briefly and were then carried off.

But now it seems that this newcomer really has something going for him.

"Neny might not be considered a top-tier top laner!"

"But he's played quite a few games in the LPL, he shouldn't have been completely thrashed by a complete rookie in three games..."

Seeing the excited discussion in the comments, his curiosity was piqued as well.

Just as he was about to go and watch the replay of the match, a comment reminded him:

"Look at the main stage, there's an interview!"

Yu Wenbo returned to the main stage.

In the video, Yu Shuang is standing in front of the interview table.

A light green patterned cheongsam accentuated her curvaceous figure; her long hair was pulled back, her makeup was exquisite, and her demeanor was elegant…

The title of "the face of LPL post-match interviews" is well-deserved.

A young man was standing next to her.

He is about 1.79 meters tall, wearing a black and red TES jersey, with his hair casually draped over his forehead.

His face still held a touch of youthful naiveté, but his eyes were bright and he was full of energy.

Yu Wenbo stared at that face for two seconds, then suddenly laughed:

"Wait, this guy's actually kind of handsome!"

The comments section burst into laughter instantly:

"Yu Wenbo, watch your stance!"

"You already have Rookie, don't be fickle!"

"Oh no, Ah Shui has his eye on the new top laner."

Meanwhile, in another live stream by Tiger Duck.

Zz1tai's live stream is also bustling with activity.

He was still wearing that signature pink work uniform.

Unlike usual, he didn't go play other games after finishing the match today. Instead, he kept the live broadcast of the event on, drinking water while waiting for the interview.

The other three, Crystal, Letme, and AJ, have all run away, but he's still stuck in the live stream.

This is extremely rare in his usual live streaming habits...

In the past, this guy would start creating entertainment value after watching the game.

They'll either engage in sarcastic banter during live streams or invite people to play ranked matches; they'll never waste time watching post-match interviews without any star players.

But today is different.

At first, I just thought it was interesting that the newcomer's name was the same as Xiao Hu's.

Later, I heard from friends in the industry that he had crushed a certain LPL team in a training match, which piqued my curiosity.

And then today, witnessing him crush Neny three times in a row...

The attitude towards the situation had changed from watching the spectacle to genuinely wanting to see how far this kid could go.

After all, he used to play top lane.

Although he's retired now and spends his days streaming, his sensitivity to the top lane position is still there.

He could tell that Glory was different from the average newcomer.

For most newcomers, it's already quite an achievement if they can hold their own in their debut performance.

This kid's attitude of daring to come up and grab Riven and whip Neny like a spinning top is quite unusual.

"Let's get down to business, the interview begins!"

He leaned closer to the screen, and his signature eunuch-like voice boomed again:

"Let me hear just how amazing Glory really is! Can we get some explosive comments after the match?"

Yu Shuang spoke first, with a friendly smile:

"First of all, congratulations to TES for winning today's match 3-0, and welcome to Glory for our post-match interview."

"Let me say hello to the audience first!"

Li Hu raised the microphone, his voice clear:

"Hello everyone, I'm Glory, the top laner for TES."

A cheer erupted from the audience.

Yu Shuang continued:

"Today is your first time stepping onto the professional stage, and you've already won MVP in two consecutive games, leading your team to a strong advancement to the semifinals."

"You must be very excited right now, right?"

"Yes, I'm very excited."

Li Hu nodded, his tone sincere:

"This is my first official match, and it feels great to win it on the Demacia Cup stage."

"I also want to thank my teammates. Mark led us newbies and his command was very steady."

"Xiao Fang's jungle rhythm was also very good, and Hao Yang and Jia Qi withstood the pressure in their lanes."

"This victory was achieved through everyone's hard work."

Applause erupted again from the audience.

A hint of approval flashed in Yu Shuang's eyes; the newcomer's speech was impeccable.

She pressed on, "Then, for the second question, today you used three completely different champions: Riven, Sett, and Vayne, which is very rare in the Demacia Cup."

"Especially these heroes, most of them haven't appeared in official matches for a long time."

"Could you share with our viewers how you approach the business plan (BP)?"

Li Hu smiled and said, "I'm very grateful to the coaching staff for trusting me. They gave me whatever I wanted to play."

"There wasn't any special consideration; I just felt that these heroes would guarantee a win, so I chose them."

He spoke casually, but some people in the audience gasped in shock.

A barrage of comments instantly flooded the live stream chat:

"I've got it all set up; I feel like I can win if I get it."

"What kind of Versailles speech is this?"

Yu Shuang was also slightly taken aback, then smiled and said:

"A very confident answer."

"So, what do you want to say about your next opponent, RNG?"

Li Hu hesitated for a moment, then raised the microphone.

"RNG is a very strong team, and Breathe is a senior I greatly respect."

"To be fair, this newcomer was quite humble in his speech, unlike some newcomers who are arrogant to the extreme."

Guo Hao, standing backstage, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Thankfully, this kid is quite reliable in crucial moments.

Humility, politeness, and giving opponents a way out—the newcomer answered all the standard questions correctly.

Li Hu paused for a moment before continuing.

"but."

"No matter who my opponent is, I have only one goal."

"Beat them, and then win the Demacia Cup."

He looked up, smiled slightly at the camera, and spoke calmly:

"Furthermore, my goal has never been just the Demacia Cup title."

"But the S-series champion next year."

There was a half-second silence in the audience, followed by a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

Guo Hao's smile froze backstage.

This brat... what did I just tell you?

Be careful what you say and do! Be humble! You call that humility?

But he'd already said it, so we couldn't just rush onto the stage and cover his mouth.

Guo Hao sighed.

Forget it, it's just the S-series championship. Which professional player's dream isn't to win the S-series championship?

While jumping directly from the Demacia Cup to the World Championship does seem like a big leap and a risky move.

But at least it's better than making it to the top four!

The audience erupted in chaos.

Zz1tai slammed his fist on the table during the live stream:

"Holy crap! This kid's too arrogant!"

"I like!"

The screen was flooded with comments.

"Worlds Champion!"

"Wow, this newbie's got guts!"

"They haven't even won the Demacia Cup yet, and they've already won the World Championship?"

"That's taking too big a step!"

"I love ambitious people like that!"

"Ten thousand times better than those who are timid and subservient!"

"The last newcomer who said his goal was to win the championship got so much flak. I'm waiting to dig up his old post."

Meanwhile, Yu Wenbo leaned back in his gaming chair.

Looking at the newcomer on the screen who calmly stated his goal was to win the S-series championship, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

He turned off the main stage feed and switched back to his own live stream.

The live chat is still flooded with comments:

"Jack! Is the new top laner getting a little too arrogant?"

Yu Wenbo smiled at the camera, his tone lazy:

"This new top laner is quite interesting."

"As a professional player, there's nothing wrong with aiming for the S-series championship."

He paused, then added:

"After all, I've been playing professionally all this time because I want to win the S-series championship."

The live chat instantly filled with messages like "Tears in my eyes," "Go, brother!" and "TES, go for it next year!"

Jack smiled and opened the ranked waiting queue.

The live stream room of Zitai.

"S-Series Champion"

He repeated those four words, then laughed:

"Fine, you've got guts."

He leaned back in his chair, looking at the figure on the screen, his tone unusually serious:

"When I was a professional player, what I hated most were players who said things like, 'I'm here to gain experience this time.'"

"Take your lessons home and learn from them. If you're not aiming for the championship in competitions, what kind of professional game are you playing?"

"No matter how far Glory goes in the future, at least his spirit is right."

"What the LPL lacks right now is newcomers who dare to think and speak their minds."

He paused, then resumed his nonchalant expression, and added:

"But then again, it would be a real joke if RNG beat us in the Demacia Cup."

"Brothers, I have to be there on time for the next TES vs. RNG match."

"Let's check Glory's reputation score!"

"Could I get a power bank without paying a deposit?"
