Chapter 533 Zhou Shen isn't TopKing anymore!

On the evening of July 23, Doinb's live stream on Douyu TV.

A person resembling a monkey was jumping around in front of the camera, constantly shouting somewhat abstract phrases such as "Thank you, boss, for the hundred airplanes" and "Thank you, boss, for the hundred rockets."

Doinb, although an active professional player, has always been very dedicated to managing his live streams.

The effort he puts into live streaming is no less than the effort he puts into professional competitions.

Or rather, he pursued a professional career to better prepare for his livestreaming career.

He will leverage his achievements, the traffic he gains, and the fame he establishes in the professional arena to his live streams.

In addition, there are quite a few viewers who enjoy watching monkeys and having a good time, which has made Doinb's live streams quite popular in recent years.

Especially this spring split, after Doinb joined FPX, FPX's regular season performance was outstanding, and they remained at the top of the standings.

This credit was naturally mostly attributed to Doinb by a group of die-hard fans who have always cheered for him.

The idea of ​​"having its own system" has once again become a hot topic.

Of course, this is a phrase that Doinb's fans keep bringing up every year during the regular season.

Most of the time, the end result is complete chaos!
However, FPX did indeed demonstrate a similar dominance to IG during the regular season of this year's Spring Split.

This has led many fans of other teams to wonder if the "self-contained system" is finally going to work this time?
Then, JDG's "black eight" miracle proved that their "self-contained system" had indeed caused a stir this time.

What’s the use!

Let's play a regular season best-of-three series.

BO3 and BO5 are completely different games.

And there are a bunch of weak teams in the regular season that you can easily crush!

After FPX was upset by JDG in the semifinals of this year's Spring Split playoffs, Doinb was really downcast for a while during his live streams.

But with the start of the Summer Split regular season so far, FPX remains undefeated, seemingly even stronger than during the Spring Split regular season!

Furthermore, against the backdrop of LPL's crushing defeat at this Intercontinental Cup, FPX managed to defeat LCK teams in both of their matches, whether in the group stage or the finals.

This time, is it really going to be a case of "coming with its own system"?
As a result, Doinb naturally had more and more "shows" to do during his live streams.

To make sarcastic remarks about my old buddy who's not doing so well these days.

Subtly putting down veteran celebrities who are no longer at their peak.

Let's awkwardly praise this currently popular player who is at the peak of his career and has a large following.

The live stream viewership will come in like crazy!
Sure enough, during prime time in the evening, Doinb, an active player who has a match to play the next day, had his live stream ranked among the top three in the League of Legends section on a certain TV platform.

Yes, they will definitely be live-streaming!
At this moment, Doinb had just finished a solo queue game on the Korean server.

While waiting in line, he was intensely interacting with the live chat.

"Jin Gugu, what's your outlook for tomorrow's game against TES? Are you confident?"

"Yes, definitely! FPX is undefeated in the Summer Split right now! Do you even know what undefeated means?"

"Is the goal for the Summer Split to be a perfect record and win the championship?"

"I dare not say, I dare not say, I'm afraid I'll be upset again, oh my god, if I'm upset again I'm going to kill myself!"

"Wow, thank you boss for the 100 rockets! Best wishes to the boss!"

As he spoke, Doinb immediately stood up from his seat and performed a set of monkey boxing moves.

The boss who had just sent the rocket then posted another comment.

[Coin Bro, what's your current MMR in the Korean server?]

Given Doinb's "dedication" to live streaming, even though the chat messages in the live stream are refreshing very quickly, he still managed to see his boss's message at a glance.

"1200 points, 1200 points, kmoji!" Doinb was practically grinning from ear to ear.

"I should be in the top 20 on the Korean server, I feel like I can reach number one in three days!"

As he spoke, Doinb opened the Korean server leaderboard and immediately saw his ranking.

No. 22!
"Maya, you didn't even make it into the top 20! No problem, I'll just climb to number one on the Korean server in four days!"

After saying that, Doinb switched to his own live stream background and changed the title of his stream to "Doinb is aiming for 1st place in the Korean server with 1200 MMR!"

However, the topic of conversation in the live stream was no longer about Doinb at this point.

Doinb just opened the Korean server leaderboard, but he only looked at his own ranking and didn't browse other players' rankings.

However, many viewers in the live stream immediately spotted the ID ranked first in the Korean server—[TopKing].
Viewers who follow high-elo games on the Korean server will know that the ID [TopKing] belongs to Zhou Dian.

[TopKing] is a Korean server account that Zhou Dian has been using for almost three years without ever changing the ID.

Therefore, many viewers recognized it at a glance.

Immediately, the chat in Doinb's live stream shifted the topic to Zhou Dian.

[Holy crap, TopKing is the number one player on the Korean server!]

[TopKing? Isn't that Zhou Shen?! I was watching someone play high-elo games on the Korean server recently, and Zhou Shen was always around 500 MMR. How did he get to number one?]

[Wow, that's 500 points! Since Zhou Shen joined TES, he's been grinding for points these past few days, achieving an 80%+ win rate in Challenger games and climbing straight to number one in the Korean server!]

[An 80% win rate in high-level ranked games? Wow, that's incredible!]

[It seems like Zhou Shen is really back to his best form!]

[It's hard to say. Ranked matches and professional matches are completely different things. If he were really back in form, why did he pick tanks and try to coast through two games against Flandre the other day?]

[Do you even have any game sense?! Picking a tank in the top lane is considered 'playing passively'? TheShy picks tanks all the time too!]

[Isn't this a double standard? It's fine when Zhou Shen and TheShy pick tanks, but when Letme picks tanks, he's considered a noob?]

[HZ, don't get involved. What else could Letme be but a slacker? The plating version is here, it scared the retired Five to death!]

[Hey, do you guys think Zhou Shen is stronger right now, or TheShy?]

[TheShy is definitely stronger. What's the use of being number one in the Korean server? Zhou Shen's current performance in competitions is still not as good as TheShy's!]

[Bullshit, the teammates are all different, how can you compare them like that? Zhou Shen has a Grand Slam! TheShy even lost to North America!]

【.】

The comments section immediately erupted into a heated argument.

Doinb changed the title of his live stream, refreshed it, and switched back. He found that the tone of the chat had suddenly changed, catching him off guard.

"Wow, TopKing is number one in the Korean server? That's so fast! He was ranked behind me just two days ago!" Doinb noticed the IDs at the top of the leaderboard. "It's okay, TopKing's Korean server ranking is ahead of mine, but his LPL ranking is behind me!"

"Just kidding, just kidding!" Doinb chuckled.

It can only be said that his ability to be sarcastic and unsettling is ingrained in his very being; he is an absolutely pure shrew.

These words immediately made the live chat even more lively.

"Zhou Shen is awesome! He's climbing the ranks so fast, he seems invincible!" Doinb said, then turned and shouted, "GimGoon, Zhou Shen has reached number one in the Korean server! You're going to get crushed in tomorrow's match against TES!"

"Get the hell out of here! Zhou Shen is my idol, don't try to stir up trouble between me and Zhou Shen!"

Although he wasn't on screen, GimGoon's voice clearly entered the live stream.

Doinb was slightly teased, then smiled and touched his nose.

"GimGoon is too cowardly, let's not talk about him anymore!"

"But I think Zhou Shen should change his ID. The current Zhou Shen isn't TopKing anymore. I think TopKing is Shy!"

This praise of TheShy immediately tricked TheShy's fans in the live stream into giving him two airplanes (a type of virtual gift).

Immediately, the phrase "Thank you, boss, for the hundred airplanes!" echoed throughout the live stream room once again.

The sound also echoed throughout FPX's training room.

It's unclear whether the other FPX players actually like this training environment.

July 24th, 7 PM.

The regular season best-of-three match between TES and FPX is about to begin.

FPX is currently the team that has maintained a perfect record in the regular season of the Summer Split and is firmly at the top of the LPL standings.

TES, on the other hand, has Zhou Dian, which naturally generates a lot of buzz.

Therefore, this match has attracted a lot of attention.

The LPL officials also arranged for two main commentators, Remember and Guan Zeyuan, to co-commentate this regular season match.

"Hey, today's competition is going to be interesting!" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile after finishing his opening remarks and reading the advertising copy.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Remember to take over the conversation.

"Isn't a clash between two strong teams interesting?" Guan Zeyuan immediately said. "Let's be fair, in Zhou Shen's TES debut last time, their opponent Snake was currently ranked in the bottom half of the standings, so they can't be considered a strong team!"

"I think most viewers are still looking forward to seeing how Zhou Shen performs against FPX, who are currently undefeated in the Summer Split regular season!"

"So what do you think the result of today's match will be? Will FPX continue their undefeated streak in the Summer Split regular season, or...?" Remember asked again.

After a slight hesitation, Guan Zeyuan replied, "I think, in my personal opinion, Zhou Shen can lead the team to end FPX's undefeated record in the regular season today!"

"Ah, if I remember correctly, Zhou Shen only played one game for TES, right? Is this already Zhou Shen leading the team?" Remember said with a smile.

A little bit of stirring things up and creating a lively atmosphere is a characteristic of commentary on matches, and it doesn't make people feel annoyed.

"I think there's nothing wrong with it. With Zhou Shen's experience and achievements, it's not an exaggeration to say that he can lead such a young team as TES!" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.

“I think it’s fine too!” Ji De added.

Then, remembering to roll her eyes and find another topic.

"Actually, when it comes to Zhou Shen, there's something I have to mention. Last night, a discussion about TopKing broke out in the live stream of one of the players who will be playing later."

"Who do you think is the Top King right now?" Remember to chuckle.

Perhaps because the pre-match preparation time was too long, the match was delayed for a long time. I remember that at this time, Guan Zeyuan was deliberately led astray.

"Huh? Is this something we can discuss?" Guan Zeyuan said immediately.

That being said, judging from Guan Zeyuan's energetic appearance, he was clearly very interested in this topic.

"Why can't we discuss it? Everyone has the right to express their opinions!" I remember this was something they wouldn't give up until they had dragged Guan Zeyuan into it.

Upon hearing this, Guan Zeyuan shrugged and said, "Then I think the current TopKing is Wunder!"

"Uh, no problem!" Remember said he was impressed; Guan Zeyuan's awareness of avoiding ganks was too good.

"No problem, right?" Guan Zeyuan laughed heartily.

However, to be fair, Guan Zeyuan's words are actually quite accurate.

After all, the most recent global sporting event is this year's MSI.

This year's MSI champion is G2 Esports.

Guan Zeyuan said that G2's top laner Wunder is the current TopKing, and in some ways, that's not wrong.

Moreover, Wunder's top lane Pyke is indeed quite amazing.

Even disregarding the championship, and focusing solely on player skill, Wunder is a strong contender for the title of the world's best top laner.

The two commentators chatted awkwardly on stage for a long time before all ten players on the field finally finished their pre-match preparations.

Upon hearing the director's instructions through his earpiece, Guan Zeyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The match has finally started. If it drags on any longer, I'll definitely let Ji De screw me over.

"Alright, the BO3 regular season match between TES and FPX is about to begin. Let's take a look at the draft picks for the first game!" Guan Zeyuan announced loudly.

In the first game of the BO3, TES continued their recent playstyle.

Zhou Dian chose a tank hero, just like in the previous game.

TES is planning to focus on stabilizing the development of the side lanes and prioritizing the mid and jungle in this game.

Regardless of how strong your recent opponents are, in a game with room for error, there's no need to actively change your winning patterns in the first game.

FPX, on the other hand, haven't lost a single game in the Summer Split regular season so far, so naturally they won't change their game mode.

TES's game mode in this match completely fell into FPX's comfort zone.

FPX's strategy of having GimGoon withstand pressure in the top lane, push the mid lane, and then have the jungler gank the other two lanes is indeed quite aggressive.

First place in the Spring Split regular season, and undefeated so far in the Summer Split regular season – these are hard-earned achievements, not something easily obtained.

When facing off against FPX in their comfort zone, TES is indeed no match at all.

While Zhou Dian in the top lane is still farming against GimGoon, TES's bottom lane has already been completely destroyed.
