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

Xiao Fang nodded vigorously beside him:

"Yes, yes, yes! Tiger's command is amazing!"

"He gave me the perfect timing to counter-gank top lane, down to the second! I'm truly impressed!"

"And then there was that dragon fight in the mid-game. Tiger told me beforehand to turn off the lights first and ignore the dragon to cut the backline. As soon as I turned off the lights, he instantly killed Lucian, and the enemy team completely collapsed."

Haoyang also came over, his tone full of admiration:

"Tiger's mid-game decision-making is so clear. There were several times when I didn't know whether I should push the lane or not."

"Tiger told me directly when to push and when to move towards the vanguard."

"Tangyuan, who was laning against me, was completely suppressed under the tower by me, just because Tiger told me in advance about the enemy jungler's movements."

"Does Tiger also play Galio?"

Jiaqi stood to the side, scratching her head somewhat embarrassedly:

"I played so-so today; my Ezreal's Q was a bit off a few times."

"But Tiger kept encouraging me, saying it was okay and I should take it slow."

Li Hu smiled and patted him on the shoulder:

"Be confident. Your maneuvering was already very good. The Luna combo is so aggressive in the early game. You've already won by not getting killed in lane."

"Let's practice some more when we get back. With a little more practice, you'll definitely be able to make it to the LPL."

Jiaqi's eyes were a little red, and she nodded vigorously.

Just then, a figure slowly stood up from the corner.

TheShy.

He wore an oversized white sweatshirt today, his hair casually draped over his forehead, still looking as lazy as ever.

He slowly walked up to Li Hu, stopped, and looked up.

He spoke, enunciating each word with his extremely awkward Korean-accented Mandarin:

"Glory".

"You, in lane! Played well!"

"How about we practice laning together later?"

  [Remember 101 Reading Network, the fastest novel website on the entire internet with the most comprehensive collection. 101.com is super reliable.]

Li Hu paused for a moment, looking at TheShy's gaze.

Immediately, a surge of excitement welled up from the bottom of my heart.

Isn't this like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy?

The world champion of S8, LPL's top top laner known for his lane dominance.

Although I've been playing a bit too casually in recent years, basically just jungling around and getting by, my performance has been somewhat lackluster.

But with solid fundamentals, even at his worst, he's still a top-tier laner in world championships.

How could he possibly let go of this opportunity to become stronger by being spun around like a top?

Li Hu immediately nodded, his tone sincere:

"As long as Cheng-lu wants to play, he can challenge me to a sparring session anytime."

TheShy nodded in satisfaction, a smile playing on his lips:

"Great, I'll treat you to Korean fried chicken."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu smiled and said from the side:

"Then you can definitely eat at our restaurant!"

TheShy frowned.

Li Hu suddenly remembered the rumors about Rookie and Xiao Yu's restaurant from his past life...

It was criticized online for being unpalatable, expensive, having poor service, and questionable hygiene.

He immediately put on the standard junior's smile, his tone sincere and natural:

"Okay, Sister Xiaoyu, I'll definitely go when I have time!"

That was a flawless statement...

I'll definitely go when I have time, but when I'll have time is another matter.

Xiaoyu didn't catch the hidden meaning in his words and smiled even more brightly.

Just then, the MVP selection interface slowly lit up on the large screen in the lounge.

The conversation in the room instantly fell silent.

Li Hu's official portrait slowly appeared in the center of the screen.

In the photo, he has a cool and aloof face that resembles a young Edison Chen, with a slightly reserved expression and his arms crossed...

Wearing the black and red TES jersey, the spinning top logo on his right chest gleamed under the lights.

Beside her is Vayne's original artwork, complete with red glasses and a cold expression... The Night Hunter holds a crossbow, her gaze sharp as a knife.

The terrifying personal data slowly emerged:

KDA: 11/0/7

Team damage percentage: 41.1%

Group tour participation rate: 80.6%

Counter-economic difference: +6188

MVP count: 3

In the main stage live broadcast room, Ji De's voice was filled with undisguised excitement:

"This is Glory's player!"

"A rookie who has been playing professionally for less than a week."

"With a pentakill and three MVP awards, he announced his arrival to the entire LPL!"

Tongxi's tone also rose a few notches:

"A perfect KDA of 11 kills and 0 deaths, with a 41% damage share—these are almost unbelievable stats for a top laner!"

"More importantly, he not only carried the game himself, but also revitalized the entire TES team's rhythm!"

The screen was flooded with comments.

[Great news! TES's four-protect-one strategy really worked!]

This newcomer is really something! Being ranked third in the Rift is truly impressive!

[Wei was truly baffling this game; his rhythm was completely suppressed, a performance unlike that of a two-time MSI champion!]

[Breathing Bro is 0-8-2, 120 CS behind, and 6,000 gold behind his lane opponent. Is this match-fixing?]

[The comment upstairs is right, those bastards have started fixing matches and creating idols!]

[Stop the harsh criticism. Could it be that the opponent was just too strong? If you're so good at Vayne, why don't you try playing her?!]

[The royal supporters have broken down, hahaha!]

[Stop blaming the royal mixed breed, those two are clearly KR dogs!]

When Zita saw this data panel in the live stream, he jumped up from his chair again:

"I know!! Even though this is just the Demacia Cup!"

"But these figures are no exaggeration!"

"This has turned Breathe into a gigantic spinning top!"

"I thought Neny was already spinning like a top! I didn't expect even breathing couldn't keep up!"

He took a deep breath, his tone filled with shock.

"Little Bu is a top laner who just entered the World Championship this year, right?"

"Although their performance in the group stage was mediocre, at least they experienced the intensity of the World Championship!"

"Could it be that these veteran LPL top laners are no match for Glory?"

"Are they all spinning tops?"

These words caused an uproar in the live chat.

What you said is absolutely right!

Our Lao Pi Lao, besides not much else, is famous for its spinning tops!

This year's World Championship is the best litmus test; from 369 and Big Yellow to Breathing, who wasn't punished?

[And what about you, Gunner?! Even Flandre got completely wrecked in the World Championship!]

[All the top laners in the LPL are like spinning tops in front of the LCK, getting completely overwhelmed!]

[To be honest, one of my top laners got solo-picked by a Vietnamese player!]

Stop making fun of your CS-loving big yellow dog; it's just a random dog on the street, nobody cares.

When Zitai saw this comment, he opened his mouth.

He wanted to argue, he really wanted to argue.

LPL was the number one region in S8!

IG lifted the LPL's first S-series trophy on their home turf in South Korea!

LPL was also the top region in S9.

FPX continued LG's championship streak, winning their second consecutive title.

In the subsequent S10, SN unfortunately lost to DWG!

But in S11, our EDG once again lifted the championship trophy!

However, in this year's World Championship... LPL was indeed completely crushed by LCK in every aspect.

From the group stage to the knockout stage, LPL top laners were repeatedly taught a lesson by LCK top laners, with almost no chance to fight back.

And his proud MSI double champion RNG, whose top and jungle players were completely crushed by T1.

He didn't understand...

Why is everyone talking about LPL...?

It's like an ancient battlefield from League of Legends...

He remained silent for a full three seconds before stubbornly speaking.

"Listen to me, brothers, 22 years ago was an accident!"

"S13 in 23 is definitely not going to happen!"

"Believe in LPL! Go LPL!"

But even he himself didn't quite believe it from that tone.

Crystal added insult to injury during the live stream.

"Yarei, Taiye, this flag you've set is making me a little nervous."

"screw you!"

Inside the TES backstage lounge.

Looking at the terrifying data on the screen, everyone showered them with praise once again.

Chieh clapped her hands, breaking the cheerful atmosphere:

"Don't get too excited yet; we still need to do a post-mortem analysis."

"Although we won the first game, there are some details we need to pay attention to."

He walked to the tactical whiteboard, pulled up several key time points, and analyzed them one by one.

"Xiao Fang was positioned a bit too far forward at 8 minutes and 40 seconds. If the enemy had placed a ward, he might have been caught out. He should be more careful in the future."

"Jiaqi, when you're letting the minion wave go, you should place vision in the river first, otherwise the enemy jungler can easily take advantage of the situation..."

After the debriefing, everyone took a break.

After a while, the referee knocked on the door of the TES lounge.

"Players are ready to enter the arena."

Li Hu slung his peripheral bag over his shoulder and walked with his teammates toward the player tunnel.

When he returned to the stage, the cheers from the audience were completely different this time.

"Glory! Glory!"

"TES, go for it!"

"Go Tiger!! Win one more!!"

Some fans held up the support sign that read "Glory" and waved it frantically.

The stage lights were blindingly bright, and the glow sticks below the stage twinkled like a galaxy.

Li Hu took a deep breath, sat down at the machine station, and began to adjust the equipment.

The preparation time ended quickly.

The familiar voice rang out again, spreading to every corner of the venue through the sound system.

"Welcome back, everyone!"

"Enough with the small talk, let's get into the second game of this Demacia Cup semi-final BO5!"

"Let's see if RNG can turn the tide, or if TES can once again rely on the hot form of their young players to take another victory?"

Tongxi replied, her voice clear and bright:

"Since RNG had the right to choose the losing side in the previous game, they chose the blue side again in this game."

"How will RNG's draft strategy change in the face of Glory's almost unstoppable Vayne in the first game?"

"More importantly..."

"Do they have enough ban slots?"

I remember smiling, with a subtle hint of amusement in my tone.

"To be honest, even three bans on top laners couldn't stop Glory."

"I'm very curious to see what adjustments the RNG coaching staff will make in this game."
