My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 325 But Then Again

On a certain live streaming platform.

The newly launched streamer, 【LiuBaiCamille】, is a Camille streamer in the LOL section. Of course, with his skill level, he is clearly no longer a contender for the top Camille player in the Chinese server.

He was also having some headaches about the upcoming and much-discussed national server's top-ranked competition.

If he doesn't participate, he's envious of the prestige of being the number one player in the national server; if he does participate, he seems unable to beat those young, highly skilled players.

However.
When the actual competition rules were revealed, and he saw that in addition to the top-ranked Camille in the country, there were various other places to select the best Camille, he was filled with excitement.

This?
Why does this feel less like a competition to determine the best player in the Chinese server and more like a pie-sharing contest for these streamers?
The strongest one is undoubtedly the number one in the Chinese server.

As for the others...
He himself claims to be the most entertaining Camille, so basically all he needs to do in matches is be entertaining.

in other words.

All he needs to do is show off as much as possible while maintaining a certain win rate.

That's some seriously amazing skill of his!

The emergence of these rules finally made the top-notch streamers no longer hesitate.

They can't compete with the number one player in the Chinese server.

They can't compete with these other first-place winners?
And an expedition to cherry blossoms?

Hey!
Just thinking about it gets my adrenaline pumping!

For a while.

Top players flocked to the Japanese server, turning what was originally just a game of pretending to be Li Ji and crashing the server into a competition with a level of intensity approaching that of the LPL league. Even Luo Ji and his teammates stormed into the Japanese server.

As a contestant.

They play ranked games to hone their skills, and they can only improve by playing against skilled opponents.

We usually play on the Korean server because there are fewer trolls there, so everyone can play normally. Now we play on the Japanese server because it's more competitive, and everyone is desperately trying to earn points for the "Number One Tournament in China".

"Wow, I knew the intensity was a bit high, but this intensity is just too high."

V5 Club.

Jwei stared at his black screen, which showed a staggering forty kills in just twenty minutes, his jaw practically dropping.

"It's more than that. If you don't play against these expert players, you'll never know that these heroes have such high burst damage at level two or three. Everyone has Ignite, and the game is decided at level three."

"That's outrageous."

Casa couldn't help but start complaining too.

He ganked the bottom lane, and in just five seconds, both sides' bottom, mid, jungle, and support players arrived, and even the top laner teleported to the tower and joined the battle.

Five minutes ago, he actually managed to have a 5v5 fight in the bottom lane, and he almost thought he was playing in Season 7.

Compared to the other members of the team.

Luo Ji was the one who couldn't hold back the most.

Every time he enters the Japanese server, he can play normally at first, but after playing for only a few minutes, his account will be recognized by fans, and then they will go to other people's live streams to report his location.

Hit and hit.

The game changed from the Normandy landings to protecting Athena, and the chat channel in the lower left corner was filled with shouts of "Bro!"

These streamers rely on popularity for their livelihood. Luo Ji's sudden surge in popularity is a classic example of how they are the ones who make a living from his popularity.

Anyone with even a little emotional intelligence.

Which one wouldn't take the initiative to befriend them?

no way.

Faced with this situation, he could only change his phone number repeatedly in order to keep himself hidden for as long as possible.

The convening of the "First Tournament of the Chinese Server" and the influx of V5 players into the Japanese server naturally did not escape the notice of the players in the same region.

EDG was the first to respond and join the battle.

JDG hesitated for a moment before joining in.

Even T1 from the neighboring region.
After discovering that the rank strength in the Korean server had dropped by more than one level, they conducted a series of investigations and even voluntarily joined the Japanese server.

Driven by these clubs.

Professional clubs entered the field one after another, and then they couldn't get out.

Everyone was enjoying this meat grinder battle; there was no thought or strategy involved, only pure fighting instinct.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the Rank game so much, and even actively doing so, Nofe generously changed the dinner menu to high-calorie V50 takeout.

Thinking he was the spokesperson for this thing, Luo Ji even took a picture and posted it on his WeChat Moments.

结果
In just one minute.

His phone had already been successfully bombarded with messages from the prison guard.

Prison Gun: "You even got to eat a hamburger?", "Purely a last meal before execution", "You must have rummaged through the trash can for a while", "You worked hard all night just to get a hamburger?", "Do you understand what you're eating?", "Hurry up and bring your die over."

Luo Ji:
As the buzz grew, more and more people took notice of this event.

at the same time.

Luo Ji's overly hardcore appearance and popularity have made him a candidate for brand ambassador, with advertising invitations pouring in like they're free.

"advertise?"

"Correct."

Over the phone.

The secretary's words were also somewhat subtle.

"Initially, they were all drawn in by the hype, but after some investigation, they realized that investing in LPL through a franchise was more effective than directly investing in you. Plus, among all the professional players, your appearance stands out, so..."

"I'm a professional player, and taking on too many advertisements would affect my training volume."

"So I've already narrowed it down to two."

"That also."

"The average price is eight million a year."

“But then again.”

In the entertainment industry, top-tier celebrities earn 1500-2000 million RMB per year for advertising endorsements, while sports stars like Zhang Jike reportedly earn 1500 million RMB per year.

For a player who is somewhat well-known in the e-sports field to earn 800 million a year is clearly a very generous offer.

Day two.

V5 Club. "What? That guy Meng got two ads again?!"

Casa's loud voice echoed throughout the room.

It doesn’t make sense!

I'm an S-series champion, so why don't any of my endorsement deals even glance at me? Instead, the endorsements that contact me are all sorts of strange things.

Even TM's surveillance cameras have arrived.

Whether it's the endorsement lines or something else, nothing escapes your radar.

Is this reasonable?

Why am I stuck under the car while he gets to be inside?
aside.

Everyone found it somewhat amusing to see Kasa pounding his chest and stamping his feet. That's how men are; they're afraid their brothers are suffering, yet they're also afraid their brothers are driving Land Rovers.

They've already resigned themselves to their fate.

Nobody knows how to use memes, our character models aren't as good, our resumes aren't as extensive, and now, looking at the top tournament in the Chinese server, we can't even stir up trouble like them.

If they were the advertisers, they would be.

They only recognize Luo Ji, no doubt about it.

In terms of career.

Although Luo Ji's life has taken off in full swing.

However, he still maintains strict demands on himself in training, and the increasing workload means that his daily life is becoming increasingly busy.

But he didn't think that was a reason for him to slack off.

If you really want to say it.

Faker, the former five-time world champion next door, also has a lot of wealth and a wide variety of endorsements, but he still manages to maintain his daily training volume and prove himself in the world championships time and time again.

Putting aside his identity as an esports player.

Faker is already a chaebol (conglomerate).

What is a chaebol?

You've seen Ji Cha's rampage in the Korean entertainment industry, right? He could totally cosplay one of the main characters and raise a few so-called K-pop girl groups to play dating games.

But he didn't.

If it were any of you experts reading books, your thermos would already be overflowing with goji berries by now.

"Alright, after all that work, it's time to start taking our next opponent seriously."

After Luo Ji returns.

Nofe also offered a timely reminder. He wasn't worried that Luo Ji would be delayed in his training due to various external matters; he was only afraid that Luo Ji's schedule would be too full, leading to mental exhaustion and an inability to perform at his best later.

"I understand, Coach. We've done most of what we needed to do."

Luo Ji nodded quickly.

In fact, V5's regular season points are enough for them to enter the playoffs, but if they want to conserve their energy and play fewer BO5 matches to hide their strategies, they still need to get a good number of points in the regular season.

at the moment.

Their biggest rivals are JDG and BLG.

Even after Ruler was poached by them, the two kings from the original world still put on a phenomenal performance.

Ok.

But their next opponent is still not them.

It's RNG.

He is seen as the last veteran RNG player, because after this term, the players are no longer very familiar to everyone.

Top laner, a god of concept, can unleash his supreme power whenever the team is on the verge of disbanding; otherwise, the entire team will be a disaster.

Wei, a jungler, is a highly controversial player.

Angel, a veteran mid-laner, has nothing particularly outstanding. At his peak, he could hold his own against Xu Xiu.

Bottom lane corner + Ming, a typical victim of RNG's contract.

Although the former player left the team, he signed a priority contract, which means that if he goes to a new team, enters the World Championship and performs well, the following year, RNG will be given priority consideration.

As for how much priority this consideration has.

This depends on the contract.

Anyway, everyone in RNG knows what happened. The famous stock market guru, Buffett, ended up in court because of a contract dispute, which turned him from being owed millions to owing others more than 20 million.

From the perspective of the opposing party in court, Mr. Guo truly deserves the title of "stock market guru."
even.

If Scout had gone to RNG back then, there wouldn't be the contract situation with EDG now.

He will surely suffer a crushing defeat, and even his pension will have to wait for RNG to pay it.

As for the latter.

Ming has been unable to return to the court as a free agent so far due to contractual issues.

"Ah, the prisons of China back then, now there are only five people in the prison. It's quite a sight."

Looking at the match schedule.

When Luo Ji saw the name RNG appear in his field of vision, he shook his head helplessly.

When I think about the transfer window.

He himself still had some ideas about Galaxy, and even sent a third party to inquire about their contract.

I'd also like to ask about Ming's situation.

结果
He was clearly a third-party agent who slowly walked into the RNG club with a lawyer.

When it's time to come out.

But he came out jogging.

And he bluntly told Luo Ji not to save him, because there was no way he could earn it back.

He was deep in thought.

Nofe continued speaking:
"At this point, there aren't many decent opponents left. Besides RNG, the rest are just a bunch of easy wins, and the ones we're most familiar with."

"JDG, where Photic works."
