Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

Without realizing it, Yinzi's speech has become more like that of the Monkey King.

Sure, it's up to you.

[You can ban anything.]

[You can also ban some heroes that are not good for ADCs, such as Blitzcrank.]

[Holy crap, who's talking about the Steambot? My nightmare, I got my head smashed by Blitzcrank's Q while playing AD.]

[The robots are clearly a lot of fun, but robot players disagree!]

[Yeah, why do you all dislike the robot? This hero is clearly great for practicing positioning.]

Yinzi was pondering.

Suddenly, it showed that I had quit the game!

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Moreover, he discovered that he could not start a game.

"What does this mean?"

Yinzi was utterly puzzled!

At this moment, someone spoke in the live chat.

You didn't ban any heroes, and the timer has already expired.

Yes, there was a countdown timer for the hero banning, but you didn't select one.

Ranked matches are more demanding than regular matchmaking.

[I'll definitely do it next time.]

Even if you don't want to choose a hero, you can leave it unbanned, but you just didn't choose one at all.

A group of viewers in the live chat explained things to Yinzi.

Yinzi then suddenly realized!

"So you mean I brought this on myself?"

But that is indeed the case.

Yinzi opened the live stream and saw so many viewers. He even said he was going to play ranked matches, but he forgot to check the specific instructions for ranked matches.

"My my..."

So many of my teammates recognized me just now, how embarrassing.

And he was also live-streaming.

Sure enough, a few more comments appeared.

[Holy crap, it really was you, buddy! That's why the game just ended.]

[Big streamer, is that all?]

Watching your livestream is really interesting. I wonder if I'll be able to get a spot next time.

Yinzi frowned as he looked at the comments!

I don't know if these people are actually the teammates from earlier, or if they're just making a fuss in the chat.

But he still bowed and scraped, saying, "Sorry, sorry!"

After all, it was my own fault for not understanding the mechanism.

"While we're waiting, let me take a look at the details..."

"Hey guys in the chat, if you haven't started playing ranked yet, you can follow along with me and take a look."

Yinzi opened the announcement as he spoke.

I also rummaged through a lot of information in the game.

It turns out that the ranked matches in League of Legends are actually called the ranked system.

Like the rune system, it's considered a unique feature.

There are currently ten ranks.

The lowest ranks are Iron and Bronze.

It contains platinum and diamonds.

The highest rank, which is the hardest to reach and is filled with experts, is Master and Grandmaster.

The highest rank is King of Glory.

There are ten major sections in total.

Each major segment is divided into four minor segments: I, II, III, and IV.

"So this ranking is quite difficult. How long will it take to climb up..."

Yinzi was speechless.

"However, this also shows that LOL is a game that is made with great care."

So much stuff can be made out of ranked matches.

"Am I playing placement matches now?"

Yinzi looked at the instructions, seemingly lost in thought.

In other words, I don't have a rank yet.

No sooner had they begun speaking than the game started.

It turns out the waiting time had just passed!

This time, Yinzi learned from his previous mistake and banned Maokai without much thought.

Although he's not a particularly strong top laner, he's still annoying.

Yinzi chose the Monkey King.

With so many ranks, when will I ever reach them...?

[A streamer of this level should be at least Diamond rank, right?]

I feel like this streamer could climb the ranks just by playing a monkey.

[That's not necessarily true. Watching the streams these past few days, it seems like many heroes counter Wukong. I don't think the streamer's skill level is high enough to rely solely on Wukong.]

Are you questioning our Monkey King?

Yinzi didn't care about all that and started the game.

Once the ranked matches began, all the players became exceptionally serious.

After all, it would be too embarrassing to be a Black Iron or Bronze.

Many players think this way.

Moreover, the reward and punishment mechanism in the ranking competition is more stringent, with some people happy and others sad about the points added or deducted.

With the release of ranked matches, the test server has become even more popular.

But Zhou Tiankuo didn't even bother to promote these things.

They simply updated the official League of Legends website quietly.

And monitor the relevant traffic data.

He opened the Orca video platform.

Recently, the game I made has been dominating the internet!

"LOL is so much fun, I've been playing it for two days already."

"I'm such a jerk, I was helping my sister rank up while she was chatting with her boyfriend."

"Let me tell you about what happened in ranked matches these past few days."

"Ten best heroes for climbing ranks! Get ready to rank up!"...

Almost all of them are videos related to League of Legends.

There's also Genshin Impact tucked away in the corners and crevices.

Zhou Tiankuo knew that the popularity of LOL had reached an unprecedented level.

Moreover, due to the ranking system, the popularity will continue.

The game has already been released, and everything that happened on the test server will remain there. The real action is now on the live server...

These players who achieve good ranks on the test server will definitely play ranked matches on the official server.

After all, there are more people, and it's more fulfilling.

Zhou Tiankuo randomly clicked on some live streams.

In recent days, many new live streamers have emerged.

The titles of the live streams were all things like, "Got a spot on the test server."

"Let's do a shallow ranking."

"Jinkv's signature moves, come in and learn, you're guaranteed to make a profit!"

"How to beat the top streamer~"

It can be said that the games he created have also led a large number of people into the live streaming industry.

From what Zhou Tiankuo saw, several random players who ranked up to the top streamers had their Orca IDs exposed because of their excellent skills.

And they've even started live streaming, and now their live stream has tens of thousands of viewers!

This is enough to reflect just how incredibly popular League of Legends is.

There are still three days until the official server launch.

Zhou Tiankuo himself couldn't wait any longer...

Not to mention the private messages he recently saw on the official website.
