I am the leader of the anti-racism movement.

So until everyone needs a hero again.

He will become that hero.

as always!

On the field, even the tightest defense will eventually have a moment of weakness, even if many people don't think it counts as a mistake. He took advantage of the opening when the opponent had just finished clearing their minions and the enemy minion wave had just spawned.

Q-wave, with precise aim, hit the first wave of minions that spawned through the wall.

Faster, even faster!

His fingers frantically pressed the Q skill button, and almost the instant the minion hit, Lee Sin followed up. This scene was naturally seen clearly by the EDG team.

"Blind man! Look at the blind man!"

"I'll do it!"

Alistar's predicted Q and Lulu's Polymorph were both aimed at the incoming Lee Sin immediately.

But a single True Eye suddenly appeared in their flight path, changing all their plans.

W ward-hopping, forcibly changing the trajectory. A Quicksilver Sash instantly removes the Polymorph effect upon landing. As the executor of the team fight plan, the finger was already on the Quicksilver Sash button the instant Q was used.

At this moment, he had already arrived in front of the crowd.

"Oops!"

In an instant, Clearlove understood the opponent's intention. Based on his own experience, he immediately used his E skill to charge at his own mid-laner Lulu. The Lee Sin in that position was almost guaranteed to initiate with his ultimate and Flash. If Clearlove predicted this correctly, this mistake would directly lead to WE's collapse.

Unfortunately, he misjudged one thing: the opposing jungler was never a normal jungler.

R Flash?

If he were the enemy Gragas, he would almost certainly charge at the nearest Lulu to anticipate this. If even he could think that way, then the cunning Clearlove on the other side would be even more likely.

Therefore,

With a "whoosh," he appeared beside Poppy, who hadn't reacted in time.

While R-Flash can be a romantic move for Lee Sin, it's not suitable for every situation.

The most effective result comes from using the most appropriate combo at the most appropriate time.

This wave is a series of unconventional moves.

Accept this well; it's a gift from me on behalf of WE.

R Dragon Tail Swing!

With a sideways kick, Poppy was sent flying towards an EDG player.

A tremendous force propelled Poppy into Lulu, then into Clearlove who had anticipated her R-flash position, and even into Alistar who was sending New Year's greetings from afar. A perfect four-man team fight initiation!

Seeing their jungler initiate a perfect team fight, the rest of them simply need to unleash all their damage output.

"You filthy idiot!"

"Wind, please take me with you!"

"Time to cause a ruckus!"

"It's time to show up."

This time, EDG had no chance to turn the tide. In the end, WE sacrificed their jungler and support, giving the opposing team a full 40 seconds of respawn time.

With Ekko and LeBlanc's final push, EDG's Nexus exploded like fireworks.

WE, you've made a successful comeback!

Chapter 159, Section 166: The Hero and the Demon King

It seems that the third game exhausted all of WE's potential, although the EDG coaching staff's efforts also played a part. A team that was leading almost across the board, losing one game due to complacency was already the limit; naturally, there was no possibility of a second game.

Clean and decisive, without any hesitation. In less than 30 minutes, EDG destroyed WE's Nexus in one fell swoop. With the victory in the fourth game, EDG officially advanced to the finals, where they will compete against the champion of another group for a spot in the S6 Mid-Season Invitational a week later.

They took off their headphones and tossed them aside, then slumped into their seats. The win wasn't easy, but the three losses weren't easy either. Although they couldn't win, this was a rare opportunity to give strong teams their all, so WE naturally approached each match with a learning attitude and a serious commitment to doing their best.

Fortunately, the losing side can relax a bit longer and doesn't have to go over to shake hands like the winning side. Perhaps this is a small compensation for the loser? After all, it would be really ridiculous to make the loser take the initiative to shake hands.

"You played well, you've improved a lot." With his familiar deadpan expression, Clearlove grinned mischievously as he led his teammates over to shake hands. These two teams were old scrimmages, and considering their usual level, WE's performance today was indeed exceptional and deserves encouragement.

"I still didn't beat you guys, what a pity. I was hoping to do a Black Seven Legend this year." Luo Fei shamelessly admitted it. He lost the game, so he could at least say a few sarcastic remarks.

"Your bragging habit hasn't changed a bit. Fine, enjoy the peace and quiet for now. You'll probably be in for a rough time once you get out here." As a veteran player, he could easily guess that there were tons of teams trying to poach him. According to him, WE only had this guy on a one-year contract (the youth training contracts won't be changed to a minimum of two years for a few more years). Although it hadn't expired yet, the shorter term meant a lower penalty for breach of contract. If he just nodded, the teams would be his for the taking.

"You don't need to worry about that. You should study the MSI opponents first. Maybe this year's MSI opponents are so strong that you won't want to go after you've studied them."

"Stop it, shut your mouth."

After a round of lighthearted interaction, the WE team started packing up to prepare for their retreat. As for the third-place match? That's something we can just play casually tomorrow. Third place isn't anything to brag about, nor will it have any real impact; the biggest impact is that it forcibly takes up a day of their holiday.

Just treat it as playing a ranked game.

Off the field, the audience also gave WE high praise today. Their teamwork and never-give-up spirit alone made many spectators feel it was worth the ticket price. In contrast, the other group's match lacked much excitement.

Unlike EDG, who focused on their two carries, WE emphasized their top, mid, and jungle. RNG at this time boasted Tiger, considered the best mid-jungle duo in the LPL, along with MLXG, the all-around carry, and Mata, the team's strategist. The entire match was a foregone conclusion, with RNG cleanly sweeping their opponents 3-0 to advance to the finals.

While the operations were well-managed, the matches were comparatively boring, especially for the WE team who hadn't yet returned. Watching from the rest area was truly tedious. They were already exhausted, and this match felt like a lullaby. Moreover, they had no hope of advancing anyway, so they lacked motivation, to the point that some even started discussing where to go on vacation.

After watching the match for quite some time, the group decided to leave. Turning around, they realized their goofy jungler was nowhere to be seen.

"Holy crap, where did he go again?"

"It's standard procedure, Xiye, go and look for it."

Huh? It's me again?

"Isn't this the same room as you? If you don't go, who will? Hurry up, everyone's hungry, let's go back and eat."

With an overwhelming three votes to one, Xi Ye was helplessly kicked out. Finding the person wasn't the problem; the problem was, where to find them? This venue wasn't particularly big, but it wasn't small either, especially with so many backstage rooms. What if he randomly opened one and touched something he shouldn't?

That was kind of awkward.

Without a destination, he simply wandered around, figuring that heading to the restrooms was always the safest bet. There were many restrooms backstage at the venue, but having been there so many times, he naturally knew of one that, although a bit far, was much cleaner and less crowded, and that was where they usually went to use the restroom.

He reached the end of the road, around a corner, and there was the entrance to the restroom. Even before he reached the end of the restroom, he could already hear his idiot jungler's voice, seemingly talking to someone, and there was another person's voice next door.

"Hmm? Did you run into someone you know?"

Somewhat puzzled, he glanced over at the end of the path, then immediately shrank back behind the wall. Chatting with his jungler around the corner was LGD's head coach, Hongmi.

Perhaps because he remained silent, neither of them noticed that he was still having a normal conversation. This time, however, Xi Ye pricked up his ears and quietly listened to their conversation from behind the wall.

"So many clubs were looking for you, and you just showed up here hiding."

"As you know, I have no intention of transferring or anything like that."

Transfer!?

Is this guy... leaving? A jolt went through her, and Xi Ye focused her attention even more intently.

"Aren't you really going to consider it? Even LGD has mid and bot laners who are still in their prime. If you come, we can definitely take off." He wasn't wrong. After this match, everyone had noticed WE's jungler; he was a perfect piece of the championship puzzle. Although having him didn't guarantee a championship, at least with him, the pressure on the championship-winning team would be much less.

After all, a team needs at least three pieces of the championship puzzle to have any hope of winning the LPL league championship.

The person in front of him didn't answer, so Redmi continued to ask out of curiosity: "I don't really understand what you're struggling with. There are at least two teams with better rosters than your current team. Just look at this mid-jungle meta. WE's mid laner is far behind other teams, not to mention the other positions."

After a long silence, Luo Fei finally spoke up: "Coach Hongmi, do you like watching web dramas?"

"Clam?"

"It's the kind of web series that's streamed online, and it tends to be humorous."

"No, I don't usually look at that. What are you trying to do by saying this?"

"Then you definitely have to check it out. It's a pretty good web series: 'The Warrior Yoshihiko and the Demon King's Castle.'" As he said this, Luo Fei's eyes also held a hint of reminiscence. This series was a very fond memory for him.

"The hero in the story also gathered a group of teammates on his journey to defeat the Demon King. Although these teammates were weak, lacked strength, and often dragged the team down, but..."

"but?"

"But as long as they were by his side, the hero felt that the so-called Demon King was not invincible. Although he ultimately failed to destroy the Demon King and spent his entire life on the path of defeating the Demon King, he never regretted his choice."

"So, this is your choice?"

"Yes, this is my choice. The Demon King is indeed powerful, but the hero will still find his teammates to launch an attack on the future Demon King together. Now I have found my teammates, and all that is lacking is a Buddha to guide the hero forward. It is up to you to choose." After saying this, he bowed. "Regarding our matter, I have reported to the higher-ups without permission, and I apologize for that. However, on behalf of WE Club, I now formally invite you to join us as a coach."

After saying that, Luo Fei waited silently for the other side's response.

He couldn't guarantee whether Redmi would even consider the current WE team, since WE's roster seemed significantly weaker than LGD's.

. . . . . .

Redmi stared intently at the bowing jungler in front of him, his eyes also filled with contemplation.

For a coach, the salary is actually about the same no matter where he goes, since he already has a reputation. But what he wants is to coach a team with unlimited potential to win a championship, and the current WE team is far from meeting his expectations.

but,

He was truly impressed by the talent of the jungler in front of him.

After a long while, just when Luo Fei was about to give up, the man in front of him finally spoke.

"Is that Buddha you just mentioned handsome?"

He didn't need many words; a simple sentence already contained a wealth of information. Many things couldn't be said explicitly before everything was settled, but that didn't mean he couldn't express his wishes in other ways. Hearing his words, Luo Fei looked up in disbelief, then flashed a brilliant smile.

"Of course!"

Chapter 160, Section 167: He Had No Choice

Having confirmed the information they each wanted to gain, the two pretended nothing had happened and prepared to head back one after the other. It's best to discuss transfers only after everything is finalized; revealing the information too early only makes the transfer more difficult. This is why they chose to meet in the restroom.

It makes perfect sense for a man to be born in a toilet, doesn't it?

Redmi was the first to emerge. The passageway inside the venue wasn't large, and there were no obvious obstructions, so he immediately spotted Xi Ye eavesdropping. However, he didn't say anything; as long as it wasn't someone from another club, it was all minor. He just glanced at Xi Ye and left.

On the contrary, Luo Fei, who came out later, was quite surprised when he saw Xi Ye.

"Hey, Wangzai, what a coincidence, you're here to use the restroom too? Is it time for the team leader to let us go?" Having transmigrated before and after, he was already in his mid-twenties. Back then, those born in the 00s were already adults. With his social experience, he could tell at a glance that Xiye had heard their entire conversation.
