Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

WE Base.

Just as YY was enthusiastically promoting the first live stream of the Chinese server.

The WE team members sat around in the team's training room. Several computer screens were still lit up, but no one seemed inclined to touch the mouse.

Top laner Strawberry, the kind-hearted guy, was the first to lose his temper.

He nudged the smiling man next to him, who was looking down at his phone, and lowered his voice to ask, "How so?"

Smiling, she casually switched the game to AFK mode and asked with a blank look, "What? How do you say that?"

"Just log in. Emperor finally went live for a live stream, and even though we promised the platform we wouldn't stream today and steal his viewership, it shouldn't be a problem to play some ranked sniping, right?"

"You're asking me?"

With a slight smirk, she slammed her phone down on the table. "You might as well ask Ruofeng."

"Why would I snipe Emperor, who plays mid lane? I'm not doing this for no reason. I'm just grateful if he doesn't come to gank bot lane when we run into each other in ranked games."

At this point, Wei Xiao suddenly changed the subject, glancing in Ruofeng's direction, "Oh right, speaking of Emperor, that LeBlanc playstyle he showed off in the video before... Lao Yu, how's your practice going?"

The moment the question about smiling was thrown onto the table, the training room fell silent for two seconds.

Ruofeng didn't respond, but Mingkai, who hadn't said much, took over the conversation.

"IPL5 is still over twenty days away." Mingkai said seriously, "I think we really need to practice playing LeBlanc. You guys have seen Emperor's videos; that champion is a huge threat to AD carries in team fights..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood.

Ruofeng finally spoke, but his expression was somewhat unnatural as he said:

"That's a bit difficult!"

"My basic skills are fine, but my entry timing and output methods... well, to put it another way, I'm a bit behind Emperor."

Doesn't it mean that much?

The people in the room rolled their eyes instinctively.

Yours is lacking, quite a bit.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."

Abu, who had been standing behind everyone, interrupted, "There are only a few days left before the start of IPL5. Instead of blindly changing our tactics, we should further practice the parts we are good at."

"Can……"

Mingkai wanted to say something more.

He wanted to say that in ranked games, as a jungler, he had been both opponents and partners with Emperor many times.

He knew better than anyone else in the room how much of a threat that LeBlanc posed to the AD carry in team fights.

Smile is the absolute core of WE. If this core can't even stand for three seconds in a team fight, then the so-called "proficient system" is just a piece of paper.

In addition, their own mid-lane champions, such as Twisted Fate and Diana, are all countered by these long-range mages.

Although Emperor is currently just a solo queue king with some fame in the Chinese server, who can guarantee that his opponents at IPL5 haven't watched his videos? What if someone follows suit and picks LeBlanc? Are we supposed to ban him then?

However, seeing his teammates remaining silent in the room, Mingkai realized something and chose to remain silent as well.

IG base.

Just as dinnertime arrived, Xiaoxiao waved her phone and boomed into the training room, "It's dinnertime! What's everyone eating today? Any suggestions?"

"I'm fine with anything!" Shadow was the first to speak, indicating that she was never picky about food and would eat anything given to her.

PDD nestled in his chair, rubbed his smooth, shiny head, and chuckled, "Hehe, Pigskin Bully wants an extra roasted chicken leg—the extra-large kind."

"Ge Yan? Where's Ge Yan? What are you eating?" Xiaoxiao's gaze swept around and landed on Kid in the corner. She added, "Just so you know, there's no grilled sturgeon for you today."

Kid: "..."

After a two-second silence, Kid sighed helplessly: "I'm like a shadow, all I need is a bowl of fried rice."

"Okay, fried rice, huh?" Xiaoxiao lowered her head and typed the message, her thumb tapping away on the screen, preparing to send it to the owner of the restaurant near the base.

Halfway through editing the message, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

It seems like someone is missing.

"Children's posture?"

No one answered.

"Erzi! What are you doing?!"

As soon as Xiaoxiao raised his voice, everyone in the training room followed his gaze.

But then he saw his mid laner sitting quietly on the chair, curled up like a cat, with his legs on the front edge of the chair, his back arched, his eyes fixed on the screen, and his keyboard and mouse constantly moving.

"Damn, you're still playing?" Xiaoxiao stood up, swayed over to Zitai's position, and craned her neck to look at the screen—on the computer screen, LeBlanc's ID was followed by a long string of kill notifications, she was almost godlike.

Xiaoxiao couldn't help but retort, "Haven't you mastered this hero already?"

The shadowy figure waiting to duo queue sighed and added sarcastically, "Him... he got matched with Emperor yesterday."

Xiaoxiao was taken aback: "So... Erzi lost again?"

Shadow nodded, his expression subtle: "Yeah, we still picked Enchantress. She got taught a lesson by Diana both ways."

"..."

PDD, who had been rubbing his stomach, came over, swaying his arms, after hearing this. He glanced down at the screen and said, "Oh my... this guy is terrifying, I know he's scary."

PDD clicked his tongue and said, "But it can't be that bad, can it? Picking a hero that's countered by you, how can you possibly beat our Zz1tai?"

"LeBlanc counters Diana." Xiaoxiao chimed in from the side, "I remember that's what they said in that video where they were attacking someone."

He added, "...it seems so."

The keyboard noise finally stopped.

He flicked his wrist and let out a long breath.

On the screen, just as the word "Victory" popped up after the enemy crystal was destroyed in the ranked match, he turned his head and glanced at the few people surrounding him.

"It's not about restraint; it still depends on how you execute it."

"For dinner, just give me a bowl of fried noodles. Shadow, come play duo queue with me."

"Now?"

"Isn't Emperor about to stream live? Aren't you going to watch?"

"We're going to do a live stream, and I'll be playing with him, so we have to play a couple more rounds."

……

Lin Shu's live streams have attracted attention not only from professional esports teams like WE and IG, but also from peripheral and snack vendors such as Razer and Youchen, who were drawn to his tutorial videos that have gone viral with millions of views.

They are all looking for traffic to sell to, compared to those ordinary video creators who only have a pitiful few hundred thousand followers;

Clearly, Emperor, the number one player in the Chinese server, is more worthy of their attention and curiosity.

We're watching his debut stream data and wondering if this top player in the Chinese server can attract as many viewers as his tutorial videos.

Or perhaps, the "Top Player in China" series with millions of views was just a product of chance?

It's 19:45 PM!

Viewers who had been staying in the channel noticed that the live stream title, which had previously only displayed the ID and time, had suddenly changed.

[I'm streaming my way to the top of the Chinese server rankings, I won't stop until I do! (laughs)]
