I am the leader of the anti-racism movement.

Leg Bro was dumbfounded. He had just destroyed the enemy's outer tower, and now he was dragging two of them into a dragon fight? Was he really that reckless? If they found out, he would be finished. But despite his thoughts, he did as he was told.

It wasn't that they couldn't fight it; the newly spawned Baron was really squishy, ​​and even with just Nidalee's damage, you could see the health bar dropping. The other three members of WE weren't just watching; they were just pretending to chat and stand guard nearby. They only regrouped at the Baron pit when the game was almost over.

By the time EPA finally reacted and rushed over, the dragon had already been captured by WE.

"Nice, let's go back to base and fight 41, Leg Bro, take the lead." With the Baron buff secured, they've got this game in the bag. Unless they can execute a perfect team fight right now, the enemy team is almost guaranteed to lose.

Of course, if he were in that situation, he felt he could salvage the situation. After all, you can't compare people; for example, he once got a pentakill in a fit of extreme anger by playing background music, albeit in Infinite Firepower mode [humorous].

There's not much more to say after that. Winning a game doesn't always require team fights; there are other ways, such as strategic play. If I use super minions to split push and destroy your Nexus, you'll be spending ages dealing with those super minions, so how can you possibly team fight me?

Moreover, super minions only have a small amount of gold. If you keep an eye on them, your entire jungle will be wiped out. With five people sharing the gold across three lanes, the gold difference is widening. When EPA watched the minion waves slowly rise on all three lanes, they all knew in their hearts that this game was already over.

A few minutes later, with the explosion of the main base, WE won the first game.

Chapter 137, Section 144: The Power of Music [doge emoji]

The first victory was relatively easy. Except for Xiye, who had finally gotten ahead but couldn't get any fights and looked like he was questioning his life choices, everyone else said everything was normal.

Interestingly, since they didn't suffer an upset loss in the first game and won as many expected, the organizers called over IG and VG for the second game quite early due to time constraints. Coincidentally, VG's rest area was located next to WE's.

Lord Hou, who had come out for some fresh air, felt a pang of sadness seeing the WE team return with nonchalant expressions. To be honest, he really wanted revenge on WE, mainly because he felt their game philosophies differed and he wanted to prove himself right, not because he thought WE was weaker.

Unfortunately, if they wanted to fight again in the Spring Split, both sides had to finish first in their respective groups. Looking at his clueless teammates, Houye silently fell into depression and began to question his life.

Inside the room,

The WE team slumped in their chairs in all sorts of bizarre ways, listening to their clueless coach's post-match analysis. Halftime was meant to be a break for them to relax. Of course, EPA didn't put too much pressure on them either. After winning the first game, they were all on equal footing; whoever won the next game would advance, a much better situation than the first game.

Of course, some people are dissatisfied with the competition schedule. It's not a problem with the format, but rather with the timing.

"I just don't understand why this stupid game always schedules our matches close to mealtimes. We're completely exhausted before we eat!" Luo Fei cried. Before he became a professional player, he would just sit in front of the screen with his takeout, watching others play. He'd take a sip of soup when he saw something exciting, and eat a bite when he saw something that looked like a dish to eat—a very relaxed lifestyle.

But ever since he went pro, he's become the one cooking for others, which isn't fun anymore.

Seeing Luo Fei, the team captain, leading the way in such a dejected manner, the clueless team leader couldn't stand it anymore. What if they lost because of this lethargy? Wouldn't he lose his bonus? Thinking of this, he decided to use some sarcasm to boost morale: "No way, no way, there really isn't anyone who can't play the game without eating, right? No way, don't try to disgust me."

It's also thanks to their own goofy jungler's habit of making sarcastic remarks all the time that he's infected the rest of the team with his own goofiness. Now, the team is starting to resemble the FPX of later generations, although not as exaggerated, just making jokes.

This. . .

Seeing his team leader, Xixika, steal his Yin Yang Qi, Luo Fei realized that the team was going to be difficult to manage. Even his best skill had been learned by someone else, definitely stealing his job! But it didn't matter. It was just Yin Yang Qi. If someone dared to let others learn it, he naturally had a way to counter it.

To deal with this situation, we must use magic to defeat magic. Therefore:

"Team leader, you keep repeating the same sentence; you must be feeling very sad inside, right?"

"Wait a minute, what are you saying?"

"Oh, sorry, something's missing. Just a moment." With that, she opened a red app on her phone. (I don't know if it actually appeared, let's just assume it did.)

Music, start!

Yeah, that feels right!

"Team leader, do you also think that nothing in this world is going to get better? I'm sorry for being born."

"Oh, this..."

"As expected, no one can understand the pain in my heart. Can you imagine how sunflowers spend the nights without the sun? Can you imagine how a giraffe drinks coffee only to find it cold by the time it reaches its stomach? No, you can't. You only think of yourself. There are still too many selfish people in this world."

Seeing this, the other four members of WE twitched at the corners of their mouths. They had witnessed this scene just a few nights ago, and they still remembered their performance that night—it was simply astonishing.

but,

It seems like they could also get involved in persecuting the idiot team leader? Wouldn't that be interesting?

Without hesitation, Egg stood up and said, "Good brother, I understand you. I also really like a quote from Lu Xun in No Longer Human. I forgot the exact words, but it was quite sad."

Seeing that Dan Zong had joined in, Xi Ye immediately teleported to join the group: "Indeed, I've had depression for twenty years. This world really can't be any better."

"Ah! But aren't you only 18?" The team leader was shocked! How could someone have Void Overload for two years? Are you a shaman?

"Oh? Is that so? Then it seems I'll have to suffer from depression for another two years."

. . . . . .

To be honest, Luo Fei really didn't expect these idiots to be so good at following the team. What the hell were these bastards learning from him? They truly deserve to be called professional players; their learning ability is absolutely amazing.

"Indeed, some people get depression at the age of eight, die at the age of eighteen, are buried at the age of eighty, and are not cured until the age of one hundred and eighty."

"That's how it is. For example, I take nitrite and potassium permanganate at high intensity every day. Life is not worth it. I won't come back in the next life." In the end, Leg Bro finally landed with TP and delivered the final blow to the team leader.

This. . .

The team leader was dumbfounded. Is this what they call teamwork? Seriously? What new culture have these bastards developed while I was away? Why do I feel like I'm isolated and can't win? No, I need to divert their attention quickly.

"Ahem, well... how about we continue discussing the competition?"

Luo Fei gave him a serious look, then sighed silently.

"I don't even have the right to choose what to say, so what right do I have to live in this world? Waaaaah~ Life is not worth living."

. . . . . .

The current team leader feels like this: The team leader gets up, the team leader gets one-shotted! The team leader is heavily damaged, the team leader falls... *sobs*

Looking at the five idiots laughing hysterically in the room, he knew perfectly well that he'd been tricked again. As the team leader, he was arguably the least prestigious player in the LPL.

Team leaders also have their share of hardships.

The better the team performs, the higher his bonus will be during his vacation! But if the team doesn't meet expectations, he won't only lose the bonus but also get a pay cut! Although this group of people are actually very serious about the competition but seem to be very relaxed, he still feels that he needs to further motivate the team to keep things stable for the sake of his own bonus.

Thinking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on the leader's lips.

"Are you kidding me? He's supposed to be a team leader, so how can he lead WE if he doesn't have some skill to manage these kids?" He coughed, once again drawing the attention of the team members in the room.

"Come, comrades. Now I have to announce some very important news, which may concern your happiness."

"Oh."

"Really, you have to believe me, this is really important to you!"

"Oh."

Seeing that the group in front of him remained unmoved, the team leader took a deep breath. He knew it was time to unleash his ultimate move.

"I just forgot to set a timer when I ordered takeout."

"Oh. Huh??? Holy crap, what did you just say, you bastard?" The WE team, realizing what had happened, jumped up in shock. What a joke! They didn't set a timer for their takeout, so it should be delivered right now, right? Holy crap, they're still playing a match! What if it gets cold after they finish? Rice without warmth and freshness is practically soulless.

"Can it be cancelled?"

"No... They said it's already been processed and can't be canceled." After saying this, the team leader clearly felt the room fall into silence. Luo Fei stood there with a dark face for a long time before silently opening the door and walking out. He glanced at the Marquis, who was standing there in a daze, with slight surprise, before continuing on his way.

Behind them, the WE team followed in silence. They looked as if they were about to step into the final battlefield.

???

What?

what's going on?

The Marquis was dumbfounded. Weren't these guys just going in so calmly? How come they all changed so much when they came out? Holy crap, does WE have such a talent in their team? How did they get this fighting spirit? They should teach VG a lesson!

Looking at his teammates who were silently following behind him, Luo Fei stopped, wanting to say something. Seeing that the location wasn't far, Lord Hou pricked up his ears, eager to learn a thing or two.

"Did everyone hear that? Due to the idiot team leader's mistake, our food delivery will arrive at the battlefield in a maximum of thirty minutes."

Lord Marquis: ?

"Since you all understand, I don't need to say anything more. I believe you all have something you would risk your lives to protect, just like me."

Lord Marquis: ? ? ?

"In the name of food delivery, we can't lose! Let's go, let's show them what we're made of!"

Hey! X4

Watching the WE team, brimming with fighting spirit, march further and further away, Houye felt his brain go blank. What the hell did he just hear? Why didn't he understand a single word? The team leader, who had followed him out of the room, felt a pang of sympathy for Houye's bewildered expression. He bent down, patted him on the shoulder, and then stood up to chase after the five WE players.

Before leaving, he left a message for the Marquis. After all, such a diligent and dedicated young man is truly rare among Korean players. As for how much he can understand, that depends on his own destiny.

"Listen, young people, always remember this one sentence."

"As long as the food is still hot, hope won't get cold!"

Section 145, Page 138: He's quite skilled at playing Murlocs.

The spectators outside the arena were still debating the previous match. After all, WE had always won through team fights, so this time their victory, achieved through superior strategy and effortless tactics, was a bit unusual for them.

"If this is what the playoffs are all about, then it's really boring, just sitting there and running."

"After all, it's the playoffs, so we can't play like we do in the regular season. Besides, the early game went pretty well, and it was quite a good game to watch."

"I agree. In fact, the teams with lower roster strength on paper tend to have more exciting playoff matches. Just bear with it. If it's EDG vs. RNG in the finals, your kidneys will show you what cruelty is."

"Why hasn't it started yet? Is the halftime break going to be this long?"

After some more rambling, the big screen finally moved from the commentators' area to the players' seats. At first, we were watching EPA's side, and they looked a bit serious, unlike their calm demeanor in the first match. That's understandable, though; if they lost this match, they'd have to go home for the holidays. Going from the top 6 to the top 8 isn't a good thing.

"You can tell that the EPA players are under a lot of psychological pressure." Seeing this, Wawa also felt sorry for them. As staff members, they had naturally heard the rumors that EPA had basically never beaten WE. Now that they had run into them in the first round of the playoffs, they must be feeling really frustrated.

"We still need to calm down. If we play well, EPA has a pretty good chance of winning." Miller is a seasoned veteran. As a commentator, it's expected that he'll side with the underdog. As a newbie, seeing him help EPA might seem like he's being very professional, but to a seasoned veteran, that's just empty talk. It's practically telling you to be smart and surrender at 20 minutes to stop wasting time.

While their strength on paper may be just that—strength on paper—it often truly matters! WE was alright at the beginning of the season, but now they're getting stronger and stronger, and once they get going, their opponents simply can't handle it. Their only hope now is that EPA can pull out some unexpected strategies or that WE will underestimate them.

Just then, the screen moved from EPA to WE, and the moment the image appeared, the two veteran commentators gasped in shock.

The expected relaxed scene didn't materialize. Instead, unlike usual when the camera pans over and you can always feel the laughter and chatter on the other side, this time the five WE players were much more serious than EPA had been. Of course, a serious attitude alone wouldn't have been enough to shock these two veterans.

The key is the momentum!

The current WE team exudes an aura of absolute dominance. This kind of confidence is something we've only seen in the prime of SKT and in teams that pull off comebacks from the brink of defeat. To put it simply, they possess a do-or-die mentality. Everyone can see from this aura that WE wants to win, they really want to win.

"So that's why WE is getting stronger with each game while other teams are getting worse. I don't even need to say more about their attitude, right?"

"Wow, WE is definitely the dark horse this season. They went from the bottom of the league to the playoffs, and judging by their momentum, they've set their sights high."

"60E is withered, Your Majesty, have you seen it? You've patrolled the mountain too early."
