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

Li Hu followed his teammates back to the lounge. As soon as he opened the door, Guo Hao walked up to him.

"Well played!"

Guo Hao patted Li Hu on the shoulder:

"Two MVPs, one pentakill Vayne, one Varus tutorial game, you really dare to pick!"

Zhou Xiang, who was standing nearby, also came over and gave a thumbs up:

"Everyone is talking about you now; you're trending on Weibo, though you're only ranked in the top 100."

Li Hu smiled, took the bottled water handed to him by the assistant coach, took a sip, said a few modest words, and as always, attributed the credit to the coaching staff and his teammates.

Chieh clapped his hands, gathered everyone in front of the tactics whiteboard, and began a brief debriefing.

"The second game was executed well overall, and we grasped several key moments."

His pen touched the timeline of the Little Dragons:

"The dragon fight at the 12-minute mark, where Glory's reverse ultimate instantly killed Kennen was the turning point. After that fight, the opponent's mentality basically collapsed."

"But there are still some details we need to pay attention to in the early stages..."

"Nothing else is a big problem, just keep up the good work."

"Next game, we'll send them straight home."

  

After a brief debriefing, the MVP selection screen slowly lit up on the large screen in the lounge.

Li Hu's official photo appeared in the center of the screen... He was wearing a black and red TES team uniform, with his arms crossed.

Next to it is Varus's original artwork, holding the Arrow of Retribution.

The terrifying personal data slowly emerged:

KDA: 9/0/7

Team damage percentage: 38.7%

Group tour participation rate: 85.2%

Counter-economic difference: +5720

MVP count: 4

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

"Another Glory! Four MVPs!"

"A rookie who has only been playing professionally for less than a week delivered a dominant performance in five consecutive games in the Demacia Cup semifinals!"

"Glory players used the most direct data to show everyone just how high the ceiling of a newcomer can be!"

Tongxi chimed in, "Especially Varus in the top lane this time; no one has ever tried that in a professional match before."

"Glory not only tried, but also achieved perfect stats with the highest damage, zero deaths, and a near 100% team fight participation rate."

"All I can say is that this player's potential is truly unfathomable."

In Zita's live stream, the chat was going crazy with comments.

Four consecutive MVPs, this is on track to become a legend!

[Top laner plays Vayne and Varus in rotation, just how many champions does this rookie actually know?]

Don't ask, it's just a sea of ​​heroes.

LCK has Zesu, LPL has Glory

The posture and expression were extremely exaggerated:

"Holy crap! This data is incredible!"

"Is this even human, guys?!"

"Is our LPL finally going to produce a top laner who can really go toe-to-toe with Zeus?!"

Li Hu looked at the data on the screen, his face remaining expressionless.

He knew this was just the beginning...

The Demacia Cup is far less competitive than the LPL regular season, playoffs, and World Championship.

Li Hu understands that he can't win forever, but he will continue to grow.

However, Li Hu was indeed a little hungry at this moment.

The physical exertion from high-intensity competitions is no joke.

In particular, he carried the team in two consecutive games, requiring highly focused attention and precise execution in every team fight.

Li Hu walked to the supply table in the lounge, picked up a banana from the fruit basket, peeled it, and took a bite.

It's sweet and has a perfect soft and chewy texture.

He leaned back on the sofa, chewing on a banana while closing his eyes to rest, his mind already rehearsing the drafting strategy for the next game.

JiaQi peeked over from the side, looked at the banana in Li Hu's hand, and asked curiously:

"Tiger, why do you always eat bananas after a match? Is there some reason for it?"

Li Hu opened his eyes, glanced at him calmly, and then said in a serious tone:

"This is a method of replenishing energy that has been certified by the Triple Crown winners."

JiaQi was taken aback: "Did Faker really give that certification?"

Li Hu took a bite of the banana and said slowly:

"Faker eats bananas every time he plays a match. He ate them in S3, S5, and even S6."

"Do you even understand the significance of winning a championship by eating a banana?"

JiaQi listened, scratched his head, and looked on with skepticism:

"Really? Eating bananas can make you stronger?"

"Of course."

After finishing the last bite of the banana, Li Hu threw the peel into the trash can, wiped his hands, and said seriously:

"Bananas are rich in potassium, which can relieve nervous tension and prevent hand tremors."

"The steadiness of a professional player's hand is directly related to their skill ceiling."

"Think about it, Faker has played professionally for ten years and his hands have never shaken. What do you think is the reason for that?"

JiaQi nodded thoughtfully, then turned around, took a banana from the fruit basket, peeled it, and ate it.

Li Hu watched his retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips...

He's obviously talking nonsense; Faker eating bananas is most likely just a personal habit.

But since it can persuade teammates to replenish more energy, why not?

The break ended quickly.

The referee knocked on the door of the TES rest room:

"Players are ready to enter the arena."

Li Hu stood up and walked towards the players' tunnel with his teammates.

Back on stage, the spotlight shone down from above.

The cheers from the audience were noticeably louder than in the previous game.

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

From the commentary booth, Remember's voice echoed throughout every corner of the venue via the sound system.

"Welcome back, everyone!"

"This is the scene from the 2022 Demacia Cup semifinals, game 5 of the best-of-five series between TES and RNG!"

"TES is currently leading 2-0, holding three match points, and is just one step away from advancing to the finals."

"In the first two games, TES's rookie top laner Glory's performance was truly amazing."

Tongxi added, "More importantly, Glory showed us another possibility for top lane players."

"When everyone thought that in this version, top lane could only be either a fighter or a tank."

"He pulled out Vayne and Varus, and achieved more impressive damage output than traditional AD carries."

"This is not only a demonstration of individual ability, but also an expansion of the entire tactical system for the top lane position."

Remember to nod: "That's right."

"Now the pressure is entirely on RNG. With their backs against the wall, can they stage a comeback in the third game?"

"Or perhaps TES, this youthful storm, will pull off an upset and make it to the finals?"

Let's wait and see!

Soon, the debugging was completed, and the BP screen lit up simultaneously on ten monitors.

RNG once again chose the blue side.

He leaned close to the screen, his tone full of anticipation:

"Here it comes! The third round!"

"2-0, TES holds three match points. If they win this game, it will be a 3-0 sweep of RNG!"

Crystal Bro: "Hey Tai, why are you so excited?"

"You're the number one player in our RNG Royal Club!"

"I'm looking forward to seeing what else Glory will pull out!"

Put on your stylish glasses with a confident pose:

"The first two games featured Vayne and Varus, one a pentakill and the other a tutorial game."

"If they come up with something new in the third game, I'll blow your mind."

AJ chimed in, "No, I'm telling the truth!"

"RNG's performance today was indeed very poor, but what's even more outrageous is TES's new top laner."

"Why is his champion pool getting deeper and deeper?"

"The pre-match stats clearly stated that he only knew a few heroes!"

Letme said seriously, "That's talent."

"Some people practice Gragas and Gnar their whole lives but can't get them right. They play like they're playing history."

"Some people can play a couple of ranked games and then use that experience to compete in a tournament."

"Glory is clearly the latter."

Just as everyone was waiting for the BP to officially begin, the screen suddenly froze.

The champion icons for the blue team, RNG, have not yet lit up in their ban list.

In the shot of the RNG players' bench, Wei turned to the side and whispered something to coach Heart, his expression serious.

Heart frowned after hearing this, then turned and waved to the referee beside him.

The referee walked over and bent down to listen to Heart say a few words.

The referee's expression became subtle. He nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie, and began communicating with the backstage staff.

Several large characters suddenly popped up on the BP interface:

[Match paused]

He paused for a moment, then sprang up from his chair.

"What the hell?! What's going on?!"

"I want to watch the game, why is it paused?!"

Crystal was also stunned:

"Hey, Yare, hurry up!"

"My sis asked me to go shopping with her later, it's almost 7:30, why did it suddenly stop?!"

The screen was instantly flooded with comments.

[RNG is spending money, the match-fixing scene has begun!]

[The person upstairs is really bold, aren't they afraid of getting a lawyer's letter?]

What are you afraid of? I was talking about RNG, not the LPL official.

[How dare they! The Tiny Spinning Top Team TES actually beat our RNG! They're going to be punished by the gods!]

The comments section was buzzing with excitement, filled with all sorts of speculations and conspiracy theories.

The four tiger-toothed dogs unanimously chose to keep quiet.

Before things become clear, they know that whatever they say at this time could be manipulated by others.

In the commentary booth, Ji Ke glanced at the information coming from backstage, his brow furrowed slightly, but his tone remained calm:

"We have received notification from the site that the competition is temporarily suspended due to equipment issues. Please wait a moment."

Tongxi chimed in, "Yes, the staff are handling it, it should be back up soon."

That's what they say, but the viewers in the live stream aren't stupid.

Wei said something to the coach, and the coach immediately found the referee and then paused the game. Is this some kind of equipment problem?

At that moment, the camera focused on the TES players' bench.

Two referees walked out from backstage and went straight to TES's top laner position... towards Li Hu.

One of the referees bent down and said a few words to Li Hu.

The sound was drowned out by the noise at the scene, and the viewers in the live broadcast room could not hear the specific content.

But you could see that Li Hu was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows slightly, and a subtle expression appeared on his face.

He felt both angry and amused.

Li Hu leaned back in his chair and glanced at the RNG players' bench.

Wei was sitting upright in his seat, looking over here with a blank expression.

Li Hu withdrew his gaze and shook his head.

No wonder he's Nirvana Bro, who can take a pay cut to grab jobs and points, and who even sends rockets to his stream after his team loses a game.

Reporting someone for wrongdoing without even winning the fight—that's truly unparalleled.

He certainly knew why he was reported.

His Varus Q accuracy, and that Kennen flanking maneuver with TP and Flash...

His precise escape from Kennen's ultimate range using a reverse ultimate and Flash within a fraction of a second seemed rather unscientific to onlookers.

But that was indeed a play he made with 100% Varus proficiency.

There is a fundamental difference between talent and cheat codes.

I guess it was because you, Brother Wei, couldn't understand how someone could do something like this, so you just reported it.

It would be best if they found out he was cheating, but even if they couldn't find out, it would still slightly affect Li Hu's mentality.

Such tactics are commonplace in any competitive professional arena, and most people would use elbows, let alone Wei Ge.

But do I look that much like a cheat code dog?

The journey I've taken has led me to achieve this...

It's all thanks to hard work and talent! Damn it!
