They're out; even if the team wins, they can still eke out a living.

If they don't come out, the enemy team can just stand on their high ground and not do anything, even if they just give the buff, they can still lose.

Seeing QG slowly creeping towards them from their field of vision, WE faced off at a distance. Having already pushed two lanes of high ground, the opposing team didn't even have the chance to stall. Leg and Xiye were somewhat conflicted; normally, to secure a win, they just needed to wear each other down, as the opposing team couldn't ignore the pressure from the super minions.

But the opposing jungler's almost-flash-baiting plays made them feel they shouldn't let him lose so frustratingly. They thought for a moment, opened their mouths, but ultimately remained silent. They simply kept their mouths shut, waiting for the jungler's voice.

In team games, the worst thing you can do is not follow instructions.

Seeing that the distance was about right, Luo Fei finally spoke up.

"Go all out, Want Want!"

"Huh? Going to flank from behind? That's not a good idea, they still have Ekko, if we use W to land, we'll definitely get caught."

"No, I mean we should unleash our full power and steal their base."

???

The WE team was completely dumbfounded. What the heck? In this situation, instead of choosing to remain silent and drag things out, or engaging in a direct team fight, you chose to backdoor? Holy crap, are you still a fool? This is devastating!

"Are you serious?" Xi Ye hesitated for a moment but decided to confirm again. Wasn't this base raid a bit too cruel to the other side?

"I know what you're struggling with. But you need to understand that this is a competition, and we are players. I don't mind giving up the ranked game, but in a competition, the greatest respect we can give our opponents is to win the game cleanly and decisively, rather than making decisions that are most detrimental to the team and intentionally feeding the enemy a few kills to show that you respect them."

"That's not respect, that's an insult to him!"

After listening to his advice, Xi Ye and the others finally understood what he meant. Xi Ye took a breath, calmed himself down, and then activated his ultimate move right in front of the other side.

This large movement immediately alerted the other side.

"Huh? They're going to attack?" Swift was somewhat incredulous. Were they really planning to go all out against them? Born in a country known for its esports scene, Swift found it hard to understand their choice. After all, in South Korea's esports industry, only the winner matters; they'd do anything for victory, even unplug the internet cable.

"Wait, where did he use his ultimate?" The QG players, who were on alert the moment they saw Ryze's ultimate, were completely surprised to find no sign of it around them. If they left Baron unattended, how far could the enemy's ultimate reach? The only thing more important than Baron in the entire Rift is probably the Nexus.

Wait... Crystal!!!

Suddenly realizing what was happening, the QG players saw WE's five players appear on their high ground, followed by undefended super minions. All their actions indicated that they were about to steal the base.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, are these guys from WE animals?"

"The face of Fennu!"

"That's too ruthless! Nearly 1 gold to choose to raid the enemy base? Don't these people have any shame?"

"QG has started recalling, will they make it in time?"

The script of League of Legends is always full of unknowns; no one knows what will happen next. Just like no one could have predicted that WE, with such a huge advantage, would choose to backdoor. WE's development was simply too good; so good that QG's two inhibitor turrets couldn't withstand the attack for more than a few seconds before collapsing. It wasn't until WE focused their attention on the Nexus that Uzi's Kog'Maw finally emerged from his base.

At 35 minutes, Kog'Maw had Guinsoo's Rageblade, Runaan's Hurricane, Maw of Malmortius, and Mercury's Treads. At this point, his build was incredibly powerful. However, when he unleashed all his damage on the WE team, he felt that his output was ridiculously low.

Crystal's health was so high, yet it dropped so drastically.

The hero's health bar was clearly only a small amount, yet it stubbornly remained and never disappeared.

To distract the enemy from attacking their crystal, he even used his Flash. But the WE team ignored him, their eyes only on their isolated and helpless main crystal.

Watching the crystal's health dwindle, the puppy felt like clicking the mouse until it broke.

However, the health bar will eventually run out, and the crystal eventually exploded.

Watching the base on the screen spin and disintegrate into ruins, the puppy's hands, which had been moving like an attacker, finally fell limply to the keyboard.

Lost.

A year later, he once again fell short on the road to the championship.

Chapter 151, Section 158: This is my final bottom line

Congratulations WE!

"Let's congratulate WE!"

Unlike many idealistic underage viewers, Wawa and Miller didn't see anything wrong with WE's backdoor play; in fact, they thought it was a brilliant decision. Even if they were at a slight disadvantage, this move would most likely have allowed WE to steal the victory.

In the adult world, there's not much idealism; what you win in your hands is what you truly own.

Although theoretically it is almost impossible for nearly 1 units of economy to be overturned, what if it happens?

The four-protect-one lineup was already full of miracles. So, instead of ignoring the barrage of "rank slaves" and "feel sorry for them" in the chat, they praised WE to the skies.

After the match, it was time for the handshake.

Approaching the QG players' bench, Luo Fei was truly seeing the real deal in person for the first time. Although the QG players couldn't muster any smiles, they still politely stood up and shook hands. The only minor incident was when Luo Fei quietly asked Uzi for his WeChat friend request while shaking hands.

To be honest, his impression of the puppy after time travel was really stuck from Season 8 onwards. Looking back at him in Season 6 now, his youthful face is almost unrecognizable.

As we all know, this man went through several stages of growth.

The burgeoning Mad Dog, the domineering Jian Zihao, and the mature and steady Uzi.

He's only reached the first stage so far. Having received his response, Luo Fei went down happily. As for the match? Losing is losing, being less skilled is being less skilled. Besides, the communication between non-Korean professional players isn't actually that bad. You should read fewer of those novels where professional players feel humiliated and instantly hold grudges after losing a lane match and getting solo-killed; that kind of stuff will affect your intelligence.

When grown men play games, who doesn't hold a grudge today, then wake up the next day and start yelling at the other person to play together again? Do you really think this is a TV drama like "Empresses in the Palace"? Holding grudges forever.

Huh? You're asking about the split between the midfielder and jungler? That affected the team's performance, which directly impacted their livelihoods. Of course, the two shouldn't be compared.

Back in the break room, the WE team collapsed onto the sofas. They were exhausted, but more importantly, they were starving from the fight.

"I'm so hungry, team leader! What are we having for dinner tonight?"

"I've got everything sorted out for you today. The funding's been approved, so we're having hot pot tonight!"

"Wow! Really? Long live the boss!!! X5"

Hearing that there was hot pot, the entire lounge instantly regained its cheerful atmosphere. Looking at the various goofy young men in the room, who were all bragging and acting silly, the team leader couldn't help but sigh with a sense of nostalgia.

To be honest, for this team in Group S6, the club's goal is simply to avoid relegation. Although a new core has been established, core players all need time to grow. As the founder of the LPL's five-year plan, WE can afford to wait for them to mature.

However, fate gave them a big surprise.

These kids not only didn't need to fight relegation, they even made it to the playoffs. And that wasn't all; they went on to beat two teams and reach the semifinals – that exceeded all expectations. The management was stunned when they saw the results. He can still vividly recall the utterly shocked look on the big boss's face when he reported the results.

This feeling is akin to buying some Bitcoin as a hobby years ago, only to find yourself a millionaire later – the sheer exhilaration! The money isn't the main issue; the real thrill is that the big boss can brag about this achievement. You've met the behind-the-scenes owners of various teams at least a few times, and with results, you can naturally show off to your opponents.

Especially the players you spent so much money to buy, who didn't even make the playoffs.

I buy things from this place and that place, and my grades are still better than yours.

Isn't this just blatant showing off?

Thinking of this, the boss was overjoyed and immediately allocated a sum of money for the team leader to take the kids out for a nice meal. At most, a meal would mean missing a couple of ranked games. Besides, tomorrow was against EDG, and frankly, even he himself felt that WE's run was over.

After packing their things, the WE team quietly set off. Although their trip was eventually exposed, netizens generally expressed their understanding. These four rookies and the veteran support player had stormed into the semifinals, which certainly deserved celebration. Of course, a very small minority felt they weren't taking the next match seriously at all.

But after thinking about the difference in strength between the two sides carefully, it seems that there is really nothing wrong with it.

In the S6 Spring Split, no team could beat EDG unless Pawn had a miraculous resurrection and the pilot habitually died in crucial team fights.

It was around 8 PM when they arrived at the hot pot restaurant. While joking around, Luo Fei borrowed Leg Bro's glasses to look cool. Usually, people, regardless of their appearance, look presentable with glasses. Aside from the slight discomfort from the prescription, he said he had no problem at all.

He quickly discovered that hot pot was a natural draw for his brother-in-law. Mainly because everyone else was incredibly good at handling spicy food, but his brother-in-law's tolerance for spiciness wasn't quite as high, yet he still wanted to eat it.

"It seems like my brother-in-law can't handle too much spice?"

"Ah, I almost forgot about that. Let's make it medium spicy then, is medium spicy okay?" After glancing at the extra spicy hot pot on the menu, their mouths were watering, but after looking at their brother-in-law with his innocent eyes, they decided they couldn't just think about their own enjoyment.

When it comes to group sex, the real fun is when everyone enjoys it.

"Mild spicy, okay? This is my bottom line as a Xi'an native!" Only when they finally saw their brother-in-law smile and nod in approval did they breathe a sigh of relief. Although they had ordered a half-and-half hot pot, their brother-in-law wanted spicy food but couldn't handle it. There was a tiny bit of spice under the mild spicy option, and they were genuinely worried he'd order that.

That stuff was really no different from clear broth, just a few chili peppers floating on top as a token gesture.

With the hot pot base decided, it was time to order. Wangzai, holding the menu, habitually asked the person next to him first:

"You scoundrel, what would you like to eat?"

"Broken entrails, congealed blood, entwined tentacles, twisted plants, withered limbs, a mutilated brain, scarlet fruit. Tumbling in the contrast of red and white, falling silent in the fusion of yellow and brown. Clear away this fog for me, so that I may glimpse the truth!"

. . . . . .

"You fucking talk to me like a human being!"

"Honeycomb tripe, blood tofu, squid tentacles, kelp knots, marinated pork, boiled pig brain, tomatoes. A spicy and clear broth hot pot, plum juice with lemon slices. Also, my glasses are fogged up, could you please fix them for me? Thank you."

Seeing this idiot acting crazy again, the WE team was speechless. This guy can have an episode while eating? Why does he have an episode even when he's not sleeping?

After happily placing his order, Luo Fei returned to the infamous "Anti-Bad Forum Toilet." Sure enough, it was now overflowing with posts related to their match. The experienced Luo Fei immediately filtered out all the negative comments about him and those accusing him of disrespecting the team by attacking their base; the rest were all posts praising the WE team, making him beam with delight.

As he scrolled through the forum, he inevitably came across posts discussing the puppy. At this point, the malice became quite obvious. It's a long-standing tradition on the forum to praise the winners and criticize the losers. Seeing countless comments about "team-destroying maniacs" and "traitors," Luo Fei couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Well, if he were to describe his own evaluation of himself, it would probably be something like this:

He competed in the league for five years, had ten chances to win the championship, but despite his skills, he never became the top pick.

All I got in return was the saying: "Everything is predestined, and nothing is up to us."

During these dark years, this man carried far too much on his shoulders.

The mistakes he made are mistakes that most people would make; but it is precisely because most people would make them that we do not want them to happen to him, because he is Uzi, the Uzi who is speculated about, interpreted, represented, and hoped for.

He has helped many people achieve success, and he deserves any praise.

He has let down many people, and any criticism he receives is justified.

It's just that he couldn't find a teammate who could play another "Uzi" position.

Chapter 152, Section 159: Their Goal

On their way back, the WE team had to lean against the wall to make their way back; they didn't even get in the car, they just walked all the way. Along the way, countless passersby pointed and stared at them. After all, a young man leaning against a wall means he's weak!

Xi Ye and his group were also suffering in silence. They usually ordered takeout every day, and it was a rare treat when the restaurant paid for a decent meal, so they had to eat their fill. It was enjoyable while eating, but once they were stuffed, the pleasure instantly turned into nausea.

I felt bloated and nauseous, like I could throw up at any moment, but I was too embarrassed to do so, and ended up looking like this. Anyway, judging from this state, my training performance tonight is probably in question.

After playing a few ranked games, the team leader told everyone to get some rest. It was a bit of a shame to end their winning streak, but there was nothing anyone could do; nobody was optimistic about tomorrow's match.

Back in their dorm early, Xi Ye and Luo Fei didn't have much to do. For two night owls like them, it was impossible to fall asleep so early. Luckily, one was busy on the phone, and the other could catch up on a show; they were both doing their own thing, which made things quite harmonious.

[Little man, do your best in tomorrow's game!]
