Chapter 1, The Former Genius

Keep up the good work

"Don't be discouraged, you have just begun. As a newcomer, your performance has been excellent already," said the referee as he passed by and patted him on the shoulder. At this time, the other four main players of the Tianze team had already stood outside the arena, watching coldly as the referee praised He Liang.

At present, the two heroes are respectively consuming the blue and red buffs, and it is quite evident that Tianze intends to center the match around them. Both of these players are of top professional caliber, so this arrangement is not particularly surprising. However, in He Yu's eyes, regardless of whether it is Zhou Jin or Zhang Shichi, despite their strong abilities, they both have a flaw—while they can deal explosive damage, they always fail to decisively finish off their opponents in a timely manner. This seems to stem from their excessive concern for their own safety while dealing damage, so whenever it comes time to secure a kill, they find themselves just a little too far from the low-health targets.

Thank you. He Liang quickly expressed his gratitude, but his heart was already invigorated. Yes, this is just the beginning; this is merely his first season in the KPL. There is plenty of time ahead, and he will surely stand at the center of this podium. As he gazed longingly at the podium where the awards were about to be presented, an impatient voice came from behind him

In "Honor of Kings" ... if you want to rank up, I can help you!" He Liang said with a smile

Li Bai of He Liang

Since that day, the Tianze team has not reached the finals again. Eye-catching? Highly anticipated? Genius jungler? The higher they are lifted, the harder they fall.

Damo has cut off the military line! He Liang's choice is quite clever

In the past, whenever he encountered criticism directed at his brother, He Yu would patiently engage in discussions with others. This time, however, he could not afford to do so. While sending messages to his brother, he rushed out of the house. As soon as he reached downstairs, he saw He Liang, who had been carrying large and small bags, and had devoted himself entirely to competitions and training for the past five years, without returning home even once.

I know what you want to say, after five years of my professional career, you want to ask me if I am willing? After working hard for so many years, I have done everything I could, and in fact, there is no sense of willingness or unwillingness. I chose to retire because I have let go, and I no longer consider this a regret. So, that's it!" He Liang put down his luggage and patted He Yu on the shoulder.

The strength is overly overestimated, and the true level is insufficient to hold a core position in a top-tier team

Hmm... the hero Darma is quite versatile, possessing the ability to initiate team fights while having a low dependency on economy. Choosing Darma for jungle should mean conceding some experience to the damage dealers.

"That is certainly the case. We have always known that the Li Bai used by players and the Li Bai used by professional players seem to be two different heroes. However, in this season, we have discovered a third type of Li Bai, which is He Liang's Li Bai," Tuanzi introduced solemnly.

However, there is a move by the Central and Southern team that I believe did not come as a surprise to anyone, which is that He Liang's Li Bai has once again been placed on the ban list

Brother... He Yu felt a slight obstruction in his throat

Double the effort next season

I am the commentator Tuanzi

What about you, brother?

Well... now Dharma is 0-2-0, which is a bit uncomfortable

Will there be any regrets

Eh? Did the four from Tianze retreat too late and end up fighting?

You know I am not talking about this

Yes

Too selfish, seeking personal display while lacking communication and cooperation with teammates

"I will go up first. Mom and Dad are at home, right? Don't come back too late either," He Liang said as he turned and walked into the hallway. He Yu watched He Liang's back, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart. He knew that his brother said this, but how could it be possible that he felt no sense of melancholy inside? However, given the circumstances, there was indeed no need to say much more.

He Yu's expression in front of the computer had already become serious. Because Zhou Jin and Zhang Shichi's mindset and style prioritized safety first, they did not exert enough pressure on the opponent during the contest for the Tyrant. Rather than saying that Damo entered the arena to seize it, it would be more accurate to say he stole it. In the end, it was entirely due to He Yu's precise grasp of timing and skills that he managed to secure this Tyrant, which involved a significant element of luck. What if he had failed? Losing the Tyrant and then losing a kill would have immediately put the Tianze team at a disadvantage.

Congratulations to the Central and Southern Team for winning the championship of this year's KPL Autumn Tournament, congratulations to them

Only next season

the next season

It seems that the heavens have no intention of letting them through! Dharma has jumped over the wall to enter the arena! Is no one coming to stop him? Punishment! He has secured it! Both sides should have released their punishments simultaneously, but in the end, it was He Liang's Dharma who secured this Tyrant. However, it seems he cannot escape... Oh dear, first blood... Dharma has lost first blood, but he managed to take down the Tyrant; this exchange is still acceptable.

The sharpshooter Zhang Shichi from Tianze, with his exquisite maneuvering and skillful positioning, often finds his Marcopolo banned by opponents. However, in this match, his Marcopolo was left available, and Tianze immediately prioritized selecting him in the first round.

Lacking ambition, he became complacent after joining the top team

... ...

This ... ... five against four, directly one for four ... ...

"It is not your fault," He Yu said. This was the message he sent to He Liang as a consolation after He Liang lost for the first time in the finals. In every subsequent season, whenever he saw He Liang lose and be eliminated, he would think this way and send his brother an encouraging message.

He Yu was somewhat puzzled, while the competition continued to proceed

Sitting in front of the computer watching the live broadcast of the match, He Yu could not help but feel a surge of excitement upon hearing such an evaluation, for the person who used Li Bai to surpass all others was none other than his own elder brother

... ...

Zhongnan saw that Dharma was not even at level 4, and decisively decided to take action against the tyrant

the next next next season

Welcome to Honor of Kings, the enemy will arrive on the battlefield in 5 seconds, please be prepared

The match has now begun, and both sides are engaging in a bit of probing after contact, without any outbreak of conflict, which can be considered a relatively peaceful start. The commentator begins to narrate the match.

Seeing such an older brother on the screen, He Yu couldn't help but smile. He believes that one day his brother will stand in the center of the competition stage, holding up the championship trophy high.

Both sides are now beginning to make arrangements around the first Tyrant, but the jungler, Damo, from the side of Tianze has given up too much economy and is still not yet level 4. Should they let this Tyrant go?

I? '' He Liang, upon hearing this question, couldn't help but turn around to glance behind him, `` Back then, I gave up the college entrance examination to enter the professional circle, but I didn't stop learning and obtained a degree through correspondence. First, I will find a job, and then consider whether to pursue a master's degree. ''

Therefore, in a certain sense, I believe He Liang can already give up on the hero Li Bai, as no team will allow him to have Li Bai

I am still not good enough, down..." He Liang shook his head, and his reply was always the same. However, this time, after finishing the first half of the sentence, he was interrupted after just one word of the second half.

Why bother asking such nonsense yourself

The scene was abruptly divided in two; on one side was the clamor of victory, and on the other, the desolation of defeat. He Liang stood in a corner of the arena where the lights had already been extinguished, gazing at the giant screen that replayed the highlights of the match, his heart filled with regret. There were so many moments that, had there been even the slightest change, perhaps this outcome would have been different

Indeed, I find it difficult to describe and characterize He Liang's Li Bai. I can only convey one piece of data to everyone: the win rate of the Tianze team when He Liang played Li Bai is 100%. This alone is sufficient to demonstrate how terrifying He Liang's Li Bai is. Lu You also spares no effort in praising this rising star player, as He Liang's performance is simply too outstanding.

It is too late... it should be too late...

... ...

A few days later, He Yu saw news about his brother: the official spokesperson of the Tianze Battle Team announced—He Liang's retirement. There was not much reluctance in the comments below this news, only some resentment from old fans who felt that he had not lived up to their expectations.

This season's KPL can be described as spectacular, and now it has finally reached the last moment. During the BP phase, I could already feel the tension and pressure as if two unparalleled swordsmen were facing off at their peak. I wonder if you, Tuanzi, have felt the same way?" Lu You continued to say. (BP: an abbreviation for Ban/Pick. Ban means to disable, and Pick means to select)

This wave, Zhongnan is going to force a team fight in the mid lane

Yes, if the coordination is in place, even if this wave of Dharmas dies, it should still result in a one-for-two situation, and taking down this lower tower would be entirely profitable.

Alright, in this wave, we can dive the tower. Dharmakaya has already gone in, delivering a powerful ultimate. Very good... Oh? The marksman and support haven't followed up... Dharmakaya tanked a couple of hits from the tower, and this wave... the enemy reinforcements have arrived... We're about to be counter-killed... Sigh... He's dead. This wave's coordination was a bit off!

The discussions surrounding He Liang, which were once filled with lavish praise during the first season, have gradually given way to various negative evaluations. After five years, there is little commentary left, as hardly anyone still holds expectations for He Liang. The once-genius rookie now appears to be just an ordinary member on the KPL stage.

Are we going or not

... ...

A full five years, ten seasons

"Oh, I'm coming." Hearing his teammates call, He Liang hurried to catch up with them. In the face of post-match interviews, he did not feel dejected, but was filled with hope: "I will work twice as hard next season"

In the fifth year, during the tenth season, He Liang did not speak

Well, after all, the jungle position in this game of natural selection is somewhat supportive

Dharma 0 - 3 - 0

The grand game commentary echoed throughout the vast venue, quickly igniting the excitement of the audience, who fervently cheered for their supported teams, erupting into a tremendous uproar. The commentators present, Lu You and Tuanzi, were also swept up by this atmosphere, their tone involuntarily becoming excited and fervent: "Hello, dear audience, welcome to the live broadcast of this year's KPL Autumn Finals, featuring the decisive match between the Central South Team and the Tianze Team. I am the commentator Lu You"

"Brother, let me help you with your luggage," He Yu called out as he tried to catch up. However, just as he approached the entrance of the building, he suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound coming from the hallway. He Yu froze in place, not stepping inside, only to hear the sobbing grow louder, eventually erupting into a wailing cry that seemed to be a release of pent-up emotions

Brother

"I am back," He Liang said with a smile. Five years ago, he had smiled after his failure, for everything was just beginning, and he was filled with confidence about his future, his smile full of hope. Now, five years later, he has failed again, and he smiles, but his smile cannot conceal the helplessness and bitterness within.

The Tianze team has directly given the blue buff to the mid-laner, while the red buff has been given to the marksman... Wow, I just mentioned that the jungler, Damo, should give up some experience, but I didn't expect him to give up so completely!

Yes, so in today's decisive match, we saw He Liang ultimately secure a hand of Dharma as the jungler.

Is there any unwillingness

That is certainly the case; the back-and-forth exchanges between both parties, with each side countering the other's moves, have already been spectacular.

At present, Tianze is ensuring the development of these two individuals, hoping that their leading economy can resolve the awkward situation of their output always falling short of the final blow. However, rather than this approach, wouldn't it be more effective to have He Liang use an assassin to jungle, thereby addressing the issue more directly

... ...

"I am not referring to this, I am asking about Honor of Kings?" He Yudao

... ...

Next semester, you will be in your third year of high school, preparing for the college entrance examination, right? He Liang used that phrase to start a new sentence.

Central South forcibly demolishes the crystal, and Dharma desperately tries to return

The arrival of Dharma, with three individuals! Impressive! Uh... However, the two damage dealers from Tianze have been forced to retreat... They chose to withdraw, what a pity...

Zhou Jin, the mid-laner of Tianze, is known as the number one mid-laner in KPL. In casual games, it is often said that if he does not achieve 50% of the output, it counts as a loss for him. Even in the KPL arena, his output ratio has consistently hovered around 40%, occasionally showcasing astonishing performances exceeding 50%.
