I am the leader of the anti-racism movement.

If the barrels are completed, then WE will have successfully turned the tide.

If Spider succeeds, M3 will take the second round in one fell swoop.

All eyes were now focused on the Baron. Two more punishments descended, and with a mournful howl from the dragon, the two men stared intently at the top of the screen.

The final result will be displayed there.

A short while later, five purple halos appeared beneath the feet of the WE team. At the top of the screen, the news of Gragas killing Baron was prominently displayed under the director's zoom.

WE, we got it!!!

Seeing the buff appear on his body, Luo Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. This match had drained him of his energy, leaving him somewhat exhausted. With a weary smile, Luo Fei looked at the spider on the screen, vaguely seeing Condi lost in thought on the other side.

Although I'm a little smug, I still won this round.

Even with Baron Nashor, M3 couldn't push into WE's high ground, let alone without Baron Nashor. Despite having a one-man lead, they ultimately failed due to Poppy's ultimate, LeBlanc's stealth attacks, and the threat of Baron minions.

Finally, after Gragas respawned, WE finally began their counter-strategy with the Baron buff. M3's communication was already problematic, and after the Baron was stolen, their team voice chat turned into a library. In this atmosphere, they had no chance to fight back against a fully-fledged WE in the late game.

Seven minutes later, WE, having teamed up, pushed down M3's main crystal in one fell swoop, thanks to Gragas's initiation.

After a year's absence, WE has once again made it into the playoffs!

Chapter 129, Section 136: Let's Order First

The moment the match ended, the entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers. It wasn't just for WE's comeback victory, but also for their opposing team, Condi. Honestly, for a ticket costing tens of dollars, watching such a high-level showdown between two teams whose overall strength wasn't particularly formidable was definitely worthwhile.

After the match ended, Luo Fei stood up and stretched. It had been an incredibly intense game for him. In regular practice matches and professional matches, it was either his team being completely outmaneuvered and crushed by the opponent's superior strategy, or his team dominating the early game and overwhelming the enemy. There was no way around it; in the S6 meta, comebacks were extremely rare.

WE still has a lot of room for growth. Only Legge (Legged) has shown significant improvement, but that's all; their overall strength hasn't instantly transformed them from a blue-collar player to a high-level professional. Ultimately, there's no such thing as someone who suddenly becomes incredibly powerful; that's not reality, that's fantasy.

While lamenting the situation, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Condi. Seriously, if his teammates had communicated properly, the game would have been over when the first Baron was stolen; they wouldn't have had the chance to drag it out to the second.

"Let's go, Egg, don't think too much, it's time to shake hands." He turned around and patted Zero, who was still deep in thought in his chair. His words might have had a big impact on Zero, but it was just something Luo Fei deliberately said at such a good opportunity.

Everyone else is fine, they just lack experience. But Egg really needs to change. In the Dog Queen version, supports only need to consider vision. In an era where supports had wards for the entire game except for their support items, Egg's protective abilities were naturally very popular.

You're already in such a terrible situation, it's amazing that you can still protect your AD carry.

As for starting a group purchase? Don't be ridiculous.

The enemy team has three or four items on average, while you only have one. Forget about initiating a team fight; you're lucky if the enemy mid laner doesn't come after you. But the current version is different. Supports are getting better economy, and besides their protective abilities and initiation in team fights, laners now need to coordinate with their AD carry to create advantages.

A guy as aggressive as my brother-in-law, when others start a fight, his first thought is to fight back, while Dan's thought is to cover the AD's retreat and launch a counterattack. How could the bot lane possibly beat the opponent with this kind of coordination? To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to a high-end version of Baolan from S9. This is also why my brother-in-law's skill has been steadily improving, but he can only really shine in the late game.

If the playing style doesn't fit, it's really difficult to progress further.

However, for a veteran support like Egg, suddenly changing his style is really too difficult. It's like you're already a master of Judgment, but if you want to challenge higher-level dungeons, you have to abandon your favorite skill points and equipment to force yourself to switch to a healer.

These accumulated efforts and habits are truly difficult to change overnight.

but,

Whether for the sake of the team or for his own sake, Egg must change himself.

If he truly cannot change the situation, then Luo Fei will have no choice but to play the villain and tell the club to replace him. Feelings are feelings, but everyone is focused on their profession and results. If we ignore results and talk about feelings, what's the difference between that and IG before Kid retired? They'll never take off.

Hearing his teammates' calls, Egg finally snapped out of his daze. The last ten minutes had given him so much information that he felt he really needed to go back and think carefully about his future direction.

Of course, he needs to go with his teammates to complete the procedures first.

The handshake ceremony was a meaningless gesture during the era of South Korean aid, at least that's what Luo Fei thought.

Every team has two Korean players. Win or lose, when you go to the opposing team, they won't say a word and will be expressionless. The better ones will give you a couple of fake smiles to appease you, while the worse ones will just give you a black face. (Except for a few Korean players, such as IMP.) More often than not, he can only feel smiles on the faces of those Korean players when the victor comes over to shake hands.

Moreover, some teams don't even communicate with each other internally, each talking to themselves without any chemistry, let alone etiquette. But what can be done? The handshake etiquette originated from the Nongfu Spring Cup, which in turn stemmed from the conflict between their fans and IG's fans during the match.

That's really uncomfortable.

This was especially true for Luo Fei.

It's one thing for his own stupid fans to always complain that the idol should be held accountable for his actions, but now he's supposed to be held accountable for the fans' actions too? Does that mean he's just a sucker?

That's absolutely infuriating.

The S6 tournament was relatively simpler; at least it wasn't like now, where after a match you'd spend ages on interviews. You just had to go up and say a few words of thanks to XXTV, your boss, and everyone around you—basically, thank everyone except yourself—and that was it. When the WE team finished and were about to head home, they suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"Holy crap, that damn scoundrel is gone again?" Xi Ye was shocked. This guy was just with him at the interview, how come he's gone as soon as he turns around?

"He told me before the interview that he had to leave afterward, so I didn't have time to tell you." The team leader wasn't surprised, after all, it was common for this guy to disappear for half a day a week. Anyway, it was just to do charity work, and his personal abilities hadn't declined, so let him be.

Among all the deans in S6, this is considered a minor issue that's easy to talk about.

"No, the point is you asked him if he's coming back tonight?" Xi Ye was anxious. If this guy comes back tonight, they'll be in for a treat tonight. He should call him right away to add some extra food to the meal.

Forget about it, he said he's staying out tonight.

"Ah! ┭┮﹏┭┮"

"Anyway, we've made it to the playoffs today. I'm treating to dinner tonight, and I'll post a video later to make him drool."

"Yay! Long live the team leader!!! X4"

. . . . . . .

. . . . . . .

On the other side, Luo Fei, who had rushed out of the arena, never imagined that his teammate would secretly take him out to a restaurant. But it didn't matter; it was lunchtime anyway, and he was just going out to eat.

He rushed headlong into the teahouse where he had arranged to meet his date for dinner. He walked straight inside and, at a small table in a corner, saw the person who had been waiting for him.

"Sorry I'm late." Throwing his bag onto the chair, Luo Fei, who was thirsty, grabbed a cup of tea that had obviously been sitting on the table for a while and gulped it down.

"I have to say, you're really something else. You managed to sneak out like this, and even invited me to dinner." With a strange expression, Condi also felt that something was amiss.

I just had a fierce battle with him, and now he's quietly asking me out to dinner while we're shaking hands. Could it be... this guy is gay? Did I manage to get his attention by going at it so well?

Holy crap!!!

"No way," Condi thought, not considering himself a gigolo. Surely no one would have such a peculiar taste. But besides that, he couldn't think of any other reason why a rising star in the league would invite someone he'd just met out to dinner—he wasn't a girl. It couldn't be that the team was trying to poach him, could it?

Wait a minute... poaching?

Finally realizing what was happening, Condi straightened up. If they really were here to poach him, then his attitude towards this meal would have to change. Just as he was about to ask something, a huge menu came towards him, abruptly interrupting him.

"Hey, what are you still standing there for? They're here."

Let's order first!

Chapter 130, Section 137: Discussing "Heroes" While Brewing Tea [Humorous]

On this red soil, everything is inseparable from a unique culture originating here: dining culture. Although the two were meeting for the first time, they were gradually captivated by this culture and immersed in the charm of basket after basket of chicken feet.

"How about it? I think this place is pretty good. Lao Ba's secret-recipe chicken feet are both affordable and filling."

"Great! I've long heard that Team WE possesses many treasures that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and seeing them today, it's truly extraordinary. If we had some drinks to liven things up, perhaps it could be even better?"

"Alright, stop pretending to be a cultured person and talking about alcohol. If you go back reeking of alcohol, you'll probably get a beating from the club."

"Damn it, Gil, I'll just be a substitute when I get back anyway." He was furious at the thought. Even with his eyes closed, he knew he'd be benched when he got back. Having a bad relationship with the prince was one thing, but performing better than the expensive Korean player and making the management lose face was another matter entirely.

He knew all too well the problems that plagued M3, a team that had been languishing for a year.

"But what about you? Are you really planning to come and poach me?"

"Stop messing around, if I dug you up, would you come over?"

"That depends on you. Will you give up your starting position for me?"

"No, you're just dreaming."

"That's settled then, why are you asking such a silly question?" After eating for a while without seeing anything from this guy, Condi realized that this dinner was just something this guy wanted to do after he had his fill of beating up and wanted to chat with a friend. But since this guy was treating, he might as well eat it.

After a few rounds of tea, the two started to boast. The more they chatted, the more they realized how compatible they were. They were both proud and arrogant (the pride of transmigrators), both were the biggest stars in their teams, and most importantly, they were both junglers in their teams.

Only those who are also junglers truly understand just how damn difficult this game is. Often, the jungler's rhythm isn't entirely in their own hands. Whether teammates have lane priority, whether they are StarCraft players and will provide support, and even whether teammates remember the enemy's skill timings and ward placements—all these factors significantly impact the jungler's path and rhythm.

Considering the support provided by the M3, Luo Fei suddenly felt that Condi was truly pitiful.

However, as they continued playing, the two of them gradually got carried away.

"You've played for most of the season, so you must know the skill level of the junglers on other teams right now. Why don't you tell me which junglers you think are top-tier?"

"Great! LGD's Emily and VG's Dandy. The Korean junglers are truly formidable."

"Emiy, the jungler king, only knows how to wander around. The champion jungler is out of sorts. These two are not strong players."

This. . .

"There's an old veteran who, though declining with each battle, is now showing signs of recovery with the threat of a substitute. IG_Kid, can he be considered a strong player?"

"The veteran of the alliance, although his form has improved, lacks strategy and courage to initiate team fights, and is not a strong player."

"There is a rising star whose aggressive playstyle is unmatched. He relentlessly attacks his opponents. RNG's MLXG can be considered a strong player."

"The pot may be fierce, but it lacks strategy. It blends in with the top and takes the middle, and the midfielder disappears on the spot when the line is cut off. This is not the mark of a strong player."

Gradually, Luo Fei understood. This guy was definitely a VIP member of some website; he actually knew he was making a joke and even picked up on it, practically putting on a show with him!

But... isn't it also quite interesting?

"Mingkai and Swift are known as the two top junglers in the LPL, ranking among the league's best, and can be considered strong players?"

"The factory manager is fierce, but he is getting old and his limit is approaching. Ten Thousand Volts has unlimited potential, but unfortunately he is young and impetuous and does not understand that too much force will break him. Now that Nakano has broken up with him, he is not to be feared. These two are not strong."

. . . . . .

"Then, in your opinion, who can be called a strongman?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Ergou knew he was about to reach a climax. He took a deep breath, looked solemnly at Luo Fei, and slowly said:

"Among the heroes of the jungle position in the League today, only Kang and Fei'er stand out." After saying this, the two burst into laughter.

"66666, I didn't know Mr. Kang had this hobby?" No joke, Luo Fei really didn't realize this guy was an anime fan. In his later life, he only knew that this guy was one of the three legendary ninjas of Konoha, but he really didn't know that this guy was also an expert in the world of meme videos.

"Are you kidding me? These days, which pro player doesn't play tank mode? And which tank mode player doesn't have a level 4 or 5 Bilibili account? You think you can fool me?" As they chatted, Condi realized that the frustration he had built up from being benched had almost completely dissipated. Sure enough, the reason WE had suddenly become so strong recently was definitely because they had this idiot who could train endlessly every day.

To be honest, with such a goofy guy to lighten the mood, he, who had been in M3 for a long time, was actually tempted to go to WE.

After chatting idly for a while, the two finally got to the most important issue.
