LPL History

Chapter 112 Ugly Opens His Arrogant Words and Disrupts Ritual and Music; Zhou Lang Warms Up and Knocks on the Mysterious Gate

The mournful cry of the gorilla echoes from the Isle of the Emperor.

Slim and beautiful Ah Wei, announcing her good match.

The bangs are uneven, divided into five parts.

The graceful Ah Wei, I'll chop her up whether she's awake or asleep.

Unable to cut it down, I yearn for it day and night.

I am furious, I am furious, I toss and turn in bed.

The bangs are uneven, combed in five sections.

Slender Ah Wei, chopped with a kitchen knife.

The uneven bangs were pulled out in fives.

Slender Ah Wei, enjoying the music of the suona.

—From the Book of Songs, Zhou Nan, "Closing the Gate"

Inside the royal training room.

Lu Benwei and Chris exchanged a glance.

After a brief moment of shock, Lu Benwei shoved Chris.

"What the hell is this guy doing?! Chris, go stop him for me!"

Chris stood rooted to the spot, his feet seemingly nailed to the ground.

"Brother, Chris can close the door, but Chris really can't stop him."

Seeing that his good brother had backed down, Lu Benwei placed his hopes for survival on another good brother, Tabe.

"Tabe! Go stop him!"

Tabe seemed not to hear and shouted at Uz:

"How can you blame me for this? You went up there and took the damage yourself!"

Uzi immediately understood and, blushing, continued arguing with Tabe.

In short, they both seemed very busy.

Meanwhile, outside the base gate.

As Death Declaration looked at the open door, he suddenly felt a sensation of cerebellar atrophy.

He had been yelling and cursing outside the door for over half an hour, but he had already calmed down. His adrenaline had stopped flowing, and his clever brain had once again taken over the high ground of intelligence.

Moreover, Lu Benwei has already lost face by humiliating the other party in public.

This matter should have ended there, and I was already about to leave.

Then suddenly a lunatic showed up, and damn well a master thief at that, and opened the door with two clicks.

Now a broad and prosperous road lies before him.

Is he going to leave or not?
After calming down, Death Declaration knew that if he actually rushed in and beat Lu Benwei, his professional career would probably be over.

So, looking at Zhou Li who was smiling and waiting for him, he said:

"Um, bro, I suddenly remembered I have something to do. You go ahead, I'll come back later."

He was about to leave when Zhou Li grabbed him.

The other person was about the same height as him, but smaller in build.

But the strength in his hands was greater than that of someone who works out regularly!
"Hey, you're already here. I only opened the lock because I saw you shouting so urgently outside. Now that the door's open, why aren't you in a hurry anymore?"

Zhou Li's words startled Death's Declaration.

Yes!

He was cursing so loudly with the door closed, but now that the door is open, he's gone.

So what became of him?

That's just like a dog that barks through a barbed wire fence!
He actually gained face by leaving.

But now the door is open, and he's gone.

He could already imagine how Lu Benwei would talk about him in the future!

"Wow, bro, that guy, Death's Declaration, barked like a dog when the door was closed, but then the door opened. Bro! He just tucked his tail between his legs and ran away, hahaha!"

Thinking of this, Death's anger, which had vanished, returned somewhat, and he took a step and followed Zhou Li into the base!

The royal family's training room is on the second floor.

Seeing the two men walk in, Lu Benwei completely panicked.

He turned his head and glanced at his teammates.

Everyone sat quietly in their seats.

Since the founding of the royal family, no one has ever trained with such focus and dedication.

Lu Benwei ran to the training room door, trying to rush out.

But then he thought that the base was only so big, and if he got caught, he wouldn't even be able to call for help if he was alone. At least there were more people in the training room, so he locked the door from the inside and pressed himself against it to listen to the sounds outside.

"clatter."

"clatter."

"clatter."

The footsteps outside the door grew clearer.

Immediately afterwards, a man's voice rang out.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this door should also be locked."

The doorknob was twisted twice forcefully from the outside.

"But I expected this, so I didn't throw away the wire."

"Click."

The door to the training room was pushed open.

Zhou Li spotted Lu Benwei immediately.

He was sitting upright in front of his computer, wearing headphones, and playing KartRider with great concentration.

Even when Death's Declaration entered, he didn't look back, seemingly completely immersed in the game world.

It wasn't just Lu Benwei; almost the entire Royal Family was in this state, which made Zhou Li sigh and say that with such focus, they deserved to be runners-up.

Meanwhile, the historical records, which had remained silent until now, finally turned a new page!

[Chapter 1: The Ugly Prince of the Royal Family Arrives in the World, Ah Wei's Foul Words Poison the Children.]

After Chris shut down his room, Chou Kai, having escaped physical violence, became even more arrogant and forgetful of his roots. The chat was filled with vulgarities, his livestream was rife with hostility, and even children were mimicking the barking of dogs—a scene reminiscent of a monkey being forced to learn adulthood, where rites have collapsed and children are now imitating the cries of monkeys.

[World exploration mission begins, current progress: 1%]

[Note: Advancing your exploration progress will grant you special abilities. Complete all world exploration and save the LPL to escape this world.]

Looking at the contents of the Records of the Grand Historian, Zhou Li finally smiled.

That's right, all of it is correct.

As expected, Lu Benwei was the key figure in launching S3.

Death Declaration, chest puffed out, strode forward and snatched the earpiece off Lu Benwei's head.

"Lu Benwei, I'm here, why aren't you opening the door?"

Lu Benwei looked up at the huge shadow in front of him and swallowed hard.

But he still pretended to be slow to realize it.

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

"Wow, bro, I don't know. I was wearing headphones and didn't hear anything."

The death declaration then asked, "Why did you curse me?"

Lu Benwei replied with a smile:
"Wow! Bro! I was just kidding!"

Death's declaration of anger:
"Are you kidding me? Do you think we're that close?"

This matter should have ended there.

Death Declaration came to find Lu Benwei as agreed and humiliated him in person, thus regaining his face.

Lu Benwei was originally prepared to back down.

But at this point, Tabe couldn't stand it anymore.

Without a second thought, the outspoken Tabe blurted out.

"Why are you swearing? Lu Benwei said he's a civilized person and was just being lenient with you. If you dare to lay a hand on him, we'll call the police and have you arrested."

Lu Benwei had only been holding back out of fear, but now that he heard Tabe speak up, he thought someone was finally standing up for him, so he mustered up his courage and said:

"Yeah, why are you swearing?"

Death's declaration was provoked by the two of them, and his temper flared up again.

"So what if I curse at you? Didn't you tell me to come here?"

Lu Benwei, who was sitting, couldn't stand the pressure of Death's Declaration standing, so he stood up as well.

"Brother, you need to leave now. This is a society governed by law. We have already called the police."

Tabe began to speak:

"It's no use whether you leave or not. It's illegal intrusion, and we'll definitely arrest you."

Seeing Death's raised fist, Lu Benwei only wanted to kill Tabe.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Lu Benwei was punched twice in a row, and felt dizzy and lightheaded, so he fell to the ground with a thud.

He watched as another fist flew towards him.

Lu Benwei thought to himself, "That punch was cool, but I'm going to be in big trouble." He closed his eyes, but the expected pain didn't come.

Lu Benwei slightly opened his eyes. The afternoon sunlight shone through the window onto the man, making him look like an angel descended to earth.

Seeing that Death Declaration was really beating Lu Benwei to death, Zhou Li had no choice but to step forward and grab Death Declaration's hand.

Death's Declaration was now filled with rage and bloodlust. Seeing Zhou Li grab him, he instinctively stabbed him with an elbow strike.

Zhou Li's physical fitness, honed over half a year in Super Hero Mode, was no joke. He took a step back and kicked Death's Declaration's knee with his right foot, sending Death's Declaration sprawling to the ground.

"Brother, I advise you to think this through. Call your club manager now, and this matter can still be suppressed. Otherwise, you might end up in detention eating steamed buns."

Zhou Li's words calmed Death's Declaration down a bit.

At this moment, Wang Lipai, the team manager who had received the news, also rushed over.

Upon seeing the other party's manager arrive, Zhou Li prepared to pack up and leave.

Royal Club has just entered the LPL, and Death's Declaration's team, LMQ, is Royal Club's second team.

In the normal course of handling such internal conflicts, the team would certainly not want the scandal to be exposed.

It's not appropriate for an outsider like myself to be here.

Moreover, this Wang Lipai is no good.

Just as Zhou Li was about to leave, Lu Benwei grabbed him.

Lu Benwei rubbed his swollen eyes and said:

"Wow, brother, thank you! From today onwards, you're my brother, Lu Benwei's brother!"

Zhou Li patted Lu Benwei's hand.

"Brother, you're too kind. Helping those in need is a basic virtue of our generation. I just hope you remember what happened today, and that your words can cause trouble, brother."

Watching Zhou Li's departing figure, Lu Benwei felt as if he were seeing a chivalrous hero from a Hong Kong movie in the 1990s.

Wang Li frowned as he looked at Lu Benwei and asked:
"Who is this person? Isn't he one of our club members?"

Although Wang Lipai is the team manager of Royal Never Give Up (RNG), the main reason he is able to take on this position is because of his good relationship with RNG's boss, Tianci.

My main task is to play "Royal Dragon Online" with the boss.

Chris usually handles all the internal affairs of the royal family.

Therefore, they did not know the Zhou rites.

Chris began by saying:

"Zhou Li, manager of the IG team."

“Oh,” Wang Lipai nodded, “What’s he doing here?”

One sentence left the royal family completely stunned.

Yeah, what's this guy doing at our club?
Are you here to pick locks?
Zhou Li, who was walking out of the Royal Club, was all smiles.

As Lu Benwei expressed his gratitude, the Records of the Grand Historian turned another page.

However, he was afraid that the royal family would realize that he was the one who picked the lock, so he didn't have time to look carefully and fled in the whirlwind.

Now he can see for himself what local specialties Grandpa Lu brought him this time.

[You stopped the violence in an instant, sparing Lu from the pain of being punched. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Lu wept and swore brotherhood. However, one should observe his expression and discern his words, and be wary of this man's frivolous words and deception.]

You stopped Death's Declaration's violence, sparing Lu Benwei further physical harm. He's incredibly grateful and considers you a close brother. But be careful, he might not be joking.

February 12th. Nothing much to do, so I practiced Latin dance.

[January 15th. Played with my good buddy Lu Benwei. Unable to unlock any new historical records.]

[January 19th. Smiling asked me to play cards. Abu mocked me; it seems necessary to resurrect his sister, but it's not the right time yet.]

[January 29th. The LPL preseason finals began, and as the team manager, I accompanied the team to the competition.]

February 2nd. IG is performing very poorly, currently ranked seventh in the standings. This is quite different from the IG I remember. They were a team that reached the quarterfinals of the S2 World Championship, how did they become so bad? I could tell at a glance that these guys were throwing the game. Zhu Kai told me they were trying to use the team's performance to threaten the management into kicking me out of the club.

GTV Gaming Channel.

"Hello viewers watching the live stream! Welcome to the 2012 League of Legends LPL Professional League Pre-Season match, exclusively broadcast live on GTV Gaming Channel! I'm your commentator, Wawa!"

"I'm commentator Miller!"

The live stream wasn't very popular at the moment.

Currently, most of the netizens watching the game in China are fans of WE.

WE, on the other hand, has already qualified directly for the LPL Spring Split.

Without fan support, the LPL preseason matches have been lukewarm at best.

Although the popularity wasn't high, today's match was still slightly better than some other unknown teams.

The upcoming match is between IG and OMG.

OMG is a rising star team with strong skills, but it doesn't have a large fan base.

IG did make it to the World Championship last season, so they still have some fans.

Even so, tickets for the event still didn't sell, so the staff had to go out on the street and drag some bored old men and women to fill the seats.

Looking backstage at the occasional bald or gray-haired figures popping up in the audience, Zhou Li couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He had never encountered a situation like this before at WE.

Keep in mind that this was back in 2012.

However, the Haier Brothers, who had just become commentators, still displayed great enthusiasm in the commentary booth.

"According to the preseason tournament rules, the 12 teams were drawn into two groups, A and B, with six teams in each group, and they will compete in a single round-robin BO1 format. The top team in each group has already advanced, and the other teams will have to compete for the remaining four spots."

"IG's performance in the preseason has been somewhat inconsistent. Compared to OMG, they have basically secured a spot in the Spring Split. IG needs to win this BO3 match today to fight for their last chance! This is IG's last chance! If they lose to OMG, they will not be able to enter the LPL Spring Split!"

At this moment, in the IG training room.

PDD and the others showed no signs of nervousness about being eliminated.

After all, they were a team that reached the quarterfinals of the World Championship last season, and they have absolute confidence in their strength.

What kind of trash team is OMG?
Never heard of it.

As long as we don't throw the game, we can easily win.

Seeing how relaxed PDD and the others were, Zhou Li didn't say anything to remind them.

They haven't played against OMG yet and don't know how strong this upstart team is; they're still complacent about their past achievements.

Only Zhou Li knew the semen content of this OMG.

OMG, short for Oh My God, means "Oh my God!"

In an era when the "dog sons" (a derogatory term for pro-League players) and 60e (another derogatory term for 60e) were vying for supremacy, a dark force stormed into the LPL, and a true dark horse demonstrated its strength.

Goging, the top laner known as the "Rune God of High Ground," is a top-tier domestic top laner with outstanding individual skill, nicknamed "Big Brother."

Loveling, the jungler, is also known as an intelligent jungler, and fans affectionately call him the cunning strategist.

Cool, the mid-laner, solo-killed Faker during his peak in Season 3 and is the founder of the Shockwave Theory.

The top, mid, and jungle players of OMG are known as the "Iron Triangle," signifying their exceptional skill.

ADC player San is a steady laning style AD player who excels at dealing damage under the shadow of his carry Goging in the late game.

Support Yuzu Pemelo, a must-have role for every team—the designated scapegoat, the Pantheon juggernaut, a level 4 Pantheon against a level 6 Kha'Zix.

However, at present, Yuzi is still in the jungle position, while Lingyao is in the support position.

In Zhou Li's memory, this OMG team defeated WE and PE in the first LPL Spring Split to advance to the finals, and defeated PE, which had Xika and Vice Director Jing, to win the first LPL championship.

In the subsequent Summer Split, OMG finished as runners-up and secured a ticket to the S3 World Championship.

In the S3 group stage, OMG advanced to the quarterfinals with a 7-1 record and, led by Lingyao's Lee Sin, won against SKT.

This caused a huge stir among fans in China, who believed that LPL was destined to win the World Championship!
However, OMG faced Royal Club in the quarterfinals and ultimately lost to Royal Club.

At that time, in the eyes of the IG members, the OMG team was no different from an internet cafe team.

So even though this BO3 series was crucial to their chances of making it into the Spring Split, they weren't nervous at all.

Seeing the IG team taking the stage with ease, Zhou Li could only wish them good luck.

Thirty-five minutes later, the five members of IG returned to the rest room, their faces pale.

They never expected that they would be completely crushed by OMG with a score of 21:8!
At this moment, the IG members realized that things seemed to be getting out of their control.

"What do we do, brothers? This snake skin thing is so bad, I'm completely knocked out."

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight."

"You're under a lot of pressure in the top lane. I was originally planning to watch the bottom lane this game."

"Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight."

"Yeah, I really did my best in the mid lane, the other team is pretty strong..."

"Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight."

PDD couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey bro, what the hell are you doing?!"

Zhou Li finished the third set of broadcast gymnastics and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Warm-up."

He pushed open the door and walked out.

"You guys continue your discussion, don't worry about me."

"I'm going to take a shower first."
