League: I really didn't tank!

"Then let's all congratulate QG!" Changmao shouted. "They easily won 2-0 against the formidable Snake!"

"Now, perhaps we no longer need to question QG's current strength; they are now just as strong as, if not weaker than, last year!"

"The most surprising player is still ilex, the top laner." Joker looked at Chen Dongqing, who had already stood up on stage to shake hands, and sighed, "Last year's LPL's best top laner has fallen to him today. I can't think of anyone else who can deal with him."

"Perhaps we can shift our focus to the match between QG and LGD the week after next, and see what kind of sparks this top laner and the S5 FMVP will create!"

Joker directly placed QG's opponent in the last match of the first round of the league.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

In the first round of group matches, QG's opponents are WE, Snake, EPA, M3, and LGD.

We've already won the first two tough matches, and the two opponents in between aren't exactly strong teams.

Given QG's current momentum, they will most likely dominate the next two matches as well. Their only opponent in the first round will be LGD.

Listening to Joker's words, many audience members below the stage were looking forward to the upcoming battle between QG and LGD.

Because Ilex was once LGD's substitute top laner, many people say that Ilex was kicked out of the team because of Marin.

This statement adds a lot of extra interest to the upcoming match.

However, it must be said that QG is really dominating in this Group A, almost like they're playing in a low-skill game.

The only team that can deliver such a dominant performance is EDG from Group B.

The QG players took off their headphones, their faces beaming with excitement as they celebrated their victory in the second match.

Uzbekistan, on the other hand, seemed rather sullen.

Because he knew that he had lost his MVP award again.

His damage percentage was undoubtedly the highest in the team, and his stats were also impressive, but he couldn't keep up with his teammate's top laner being too strong.

Two solo kills in the early game, a strong presence in split pushing in the mid-game, and a quadra kill in a team fight in the late game – it was truly outstanding.

After everyone shook hands, they bowed to the audience in the center of the stage. While packing up the equipment, Uzi was still complaining to Chen Dongqing, "Damn, you're too awesome!"

Chen Dongqing chuckled: "Your mom, you don't want your teammates to be a bit more aggressive, right? What are your motives?"

"That's definitely impossible!" Uzi chuckled. "If you keep playing this well, you can carry me all the way to the S-series championship, okay?"

"That's easy!"

Although they only won two regular season games in the Spring Split, the two have already set their sights on the S-League championship at the end of the year, which makes their teammates look at them with a sidelong glance.

What are you talking about?

"Uzi, it's your turn for an interview today." At that moment, another staff member came over and stopped Uzi.

Seeing that he wasn't the interviewer today, Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow slightly, took the Uzi peripheral device from him, and casually brought it back to the lounge.

Upon returning, Chen Dongqing once again saw the MVP candidate for this game.

Without a doubt, it was him again.

In the first four games of the new season, I won MVP in three games, and I've already used up all three official photos taken at the beginning of the season.

"Amazing! Amazing!" Lin Weixiang, the perennial substitute, looked on with envy backstage. "You're too good, my Qing-ge."

Chen Dongqing was born in February 1998, and Lin Weixiang was born in October 1998, so Lin Weixiang always called him Brother Qing.

Of course, the main reason Lin Weixiang calls him "brother" is not because of age, but because Chen Dongqing is good at games—and all the good gamers are his brothers.

"So-so." Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "My teammates also performed very well. It wouldn't be a problem to give the MVP to Jian Zihao."

"Alright, alright," Xiangguo chimed in, "Another thousand dollars in hand. I'm so envious. At least five hundred of that is mine!"

Xiangguo woke up late again yesterday and was fined another 500. In terms of the number of times he was late, he was number one in the team. He was the one who supported the whole team and paid the club's salary.

"Very good!" Park Unryong came up and offered a few words of encouragement: "But remember not to be arrogant or complacent."

At the same time, Coach Park thought to himself: Little brat, don't let me catch you!

The interview session began shortly after the MVP awards were presented.

Chen Dongqing glanced at it from the side.

The interview was conducted with Yu Shuang again. There weren't any particularly special questions; she was simply asked about her feelings about joining the new team and her expectations for the next match.

Although Uzi is about the same age as Chen Dongqing, only one year older, he is actually a veteran who has been competing in the professional arena for four years, so he is quite experienced and answered questions in a very logical and comprehensive manner.

At this point, Yu Shuang raised another crucial question: "What are your final expectations for the current S6 season?"

Uzi thought for a moment before smiling and replying, "Our top laner just told me that we're aiming for the championship, so I'll set my sights on it too."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dongqing immediately facepalmed.

Bro, I was just kidding!

Actually, Uzi was already holding back, because he only said he would win the championship, not what kind of championship.

If he were to say he wanted to win the S-rank, what would be the difference between that and Wei Shen's decision last year to choose between the Diana and Riven skins?

If they lose, they'll probably be washed away...

Last year's S5 World Championship saw the dominance of Korean teams, and even Chen Dongqing now cannot guarantee a sure win.

Don't be fooled by his current dominance in the LPL top lane; the main reason is that the LPL top lane in S6 was a complete mess.

Or rather, until TheShy appeared, LPL top laners were a bunch of mediocre players.

Chen Dongqing traveled back to Season 6 with the system, essentially replacing TheShy to reorganize the top lane position.

But LCK is different.

During Season 5, Cuvee, Semb, Marin, ssumday, and Duke were all top-tier top laners, making the competition extremely fierce and leaving no room for mediocre players!

Therefore, Chen Dongqing has always felt that the intensity of domestic competition is not great for him now. The real test will come when he starts competing in other regions.

In other words, he is already studying MSI's competitors.

...

Soon after Uzi finished his interview, he returned to the lounge, and his manager Linko took out his phone to check the time.

Since the matches started at 1 o'clock and both were played very quickly, it's only around 2 o'clock now.

"Are you hungry?" the manager asked. "If not, let's go straight back to the base and have the housekeeper cook. We'll eat normally when it's mealtime."

The contestants looked at each other and said they weren't hungry. Although they hadn't eaten lunch, they had eaten breakfast, and it was indeed early.

After packing their things, the QG team boarded the bus for their return journey.

The bus slowly started moving, and the journey back to the base would take nearly an hour.

During this time, Chen Dongqing was about to take out his earphones to listen to his favorite Jay Chou.

At this early 16, Jay Chou's two albums, "Jay Chou's Bedtime Stories" and "The Greatest Work," have not yet been released.

But this had no impact on Chen Dongqing's music listening habits; his playlist remained the same...

Just then, manager Linko suddenly stood in the middle of the bus and said loudly, "I have something to say to the players who have just signed contracts with the team."

Chen Dongqing listened to the sound and took off his headphones.

Linko confirmed this and then continued, "Douyu just contacted me. They've prepared the livestream account and promotional activities. So we'll probably have to cooperate tomorrow."

Douyu is the largest live streaming platform in China and the sole sponsor of the QG esports team. When QG players sign their contracts, they all sign an additional live streaming contract, and the players are aware of this.

Linko then explained the requirements for live streaming.

"For live streaming, you can get a base salary for 40 hours a month. The requirements are not high. In addition, the gift revenue sharing is also normal. You can just spare some time in your spare time."

Chen Dongqing nodded slightly upon hearing this.

In his previous life, he was a full-time live streamer, and he had been doing it for many years, so he has experience in this field.

Moreover, his current contract only requires 40 hours a month, which is too easy. Someone like Doinb, who is usually very diligent in his live streams, can even complete the full week's worth of streams.

In his previous life, he needed at least 120 hours of work per month to guarantee a minimum income; these are not even comparable concepts.

But Chen Dongqing wasn't actually very interested in the live stream.

After all, that's what he did in his past life, so he's long been numb to it. In this life, he has a system, and his future as a professional player is only better than that of a streamer, so he can just coast along as a streamer.

Chen Dongqing was even considering whether to not broadcast for 40 hours and just give up.

After returning to the base, the rest of the time was free time; there were no training matches today.

Chen Dongqing, as usual, opened PUBG and played for a while.

Actually, once he entered the official competition, his efficiency in racking up points had already decreased slightly, because there were still many training matches, which was unavoidable.

But in the past week or so, he still managed to rack up 2,000 points, raising his team fight ability to 82.

This is still not enough in the professional player circle, so in the short term, Chen Dongqing can only be a split-push master.

That night, after Chen Dongqing fell asleep, the meditation training started again.

This time, he came up with a unique idea and chose Karma for the first game.

In the second game, Fiora actually played quite perfectly. She didn't die at all throughout the entire game, and she killed everyone she was supposed to kill, so there was no need to review the replay.

In the first game, Karma was in a 1v2 situation, and Chen Dongqing wanted to see if there was any room for maneuver.

For example, one person can defend the bottom tower alone, or build split-pushing items and split-push in the mid-game.

However, the result of this training was not ideal. In the first wave, he faced a four-man tower dive, which he was unable to defend against no matter what.

As for the mid-game, Iceborn Gauntlet Karma's lane-pushing ability is actually quite good, but the downside is that she can't escape if she gets caught, and her ability to take on multiple opponents is also average, making her basically a walking ATM.

It seems that he played Karma quite well in the first game.

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing shook his head helplessly and quickly ended today's meditation training.

After exiting the meditation training, Chen Dongqing's consciousness suddenly sank, and he fell asleep.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he woke up again, it was already 8:50.

A new day begins.
