Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 108: Using a 15x scope? Utterly boring!
League of Legends Esports Operations Center, Conference Room.

The officials and data analysts in charge of the regular season awards all had bloodshot eyes and their faces were filled with fatigue and anxiety.

The electronic screen on the wall is densely packed with various data, team records, player KDA, team fight participation rate, damage per minute, etc.

However, there are some things that cannot be reflected in these data, so it's already 4 o'clock from 1 o'clock, and the awards still haven't been announced.

The debate continues to this day...

"There shouldn't be any problem with giving the regular season MVP to Doinb, right? Although QG's record was only third in Group B, he has the most MVPs among all the players, making him the absolute core of the team." A man wearing a plaid shirt reiterated weakly, having said this at least three times already, which had left him extremely exhausted.

"The regular season MVP is no problem. The debate now is about the All-Star lineup. QG has already been eliminated in the playoffs, so is it necessary to give him the All-Star spot? Besides, he's a Korean player..."

"However, according to our previous unspoken rules, the regular season MVP is automatically selected for the All-NBA Team."

"The regular season is the regular season, and the playoffs are the playoffs."

"But shouldn't the best lineup be the strongest team from the regular season? EDG won every game after Unreal came on in the second half! They completely dominated Doinb in lane, and the difference in performance between the two games was obvious!"

“We know, everyone knows!” Another manager, who looked older and wore glasses, sighed. “But Unreal only played six regular season games, and because of those few outstanding performances, they pushed Doinb out of the All-Star team after a whole season’s worth of effort? Is that fair to him? Who would be willing to carry a whole season in the future?”

"So, according to you, just because Doinb played more, even if he got crushed in his lane, we should still give him the best mid laner award? Then is this best lineup based on endurance or peak performance? We've already compromised, otherwise Unreal would still be the undisputed regular season MVP. 11 MVPs in 12 games, who can match that efficiency?" The short-haired female colleague was clearly a little agitated.

"That Unreal Engine highlight reel online is about to explode, it's about to break 10 million views! Everyone's eyes are sharp, let's give the best to Doinb, believe me, once the announcement is released, the official Weibo account will be flooded with comments?"

"There's no need for discussion. You have the longest tenure here and have been in the department the longest. You can make the decision by yourself."

"Chen Yao!"

Jin Yibo waved his hand as he watched the crowd about to start arguing: "Stop, everyone stop for a moment. Old Xu, what you said makes sense."

Upon hearing Jin Yibo's words, the middle-aged man smiled, but the smile vanished the next second.

"But Chen Yao is right too. A single statistic doesn't tell the whole story. In terms of performance, Unreal is indeed very impressive. Six games, twelve frames, and eleven MVPs have already demonstrated his dominance..."

"Chen Yao, show me the highlights you were talking about," Jin Yibo said to Chen Yao.

Facing the boss, Chen Yao dared not act like she did with Lao Xu. She quickly took out her phone, found the saved video, played it, and handed it to Jin Yibo.

Jin Yibo looked at the barrage of comments covering the video and the fact that the number of views had reached 8.97 million. At this rate, breaking 10 million views would be easy.

A video with ten million views... even if one person plays it ten times, that's a million views. That's a terrifying level of influence.

He watched the entire five-minute highlight reel in silence, from the beginning of "It's all about participation," to Lucian's eight shots in one second, LeBlanc's fireworks display that resulted in a pentakill, and finally the match that had just ended yesterday.

After the video ended, he handed the phone back to Chen Yao. The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone held their breath.

Based on this situation, the boss should be involved in the decision-making process.

So everyone waited silently for the final decision.

Jin Yibo's gaze swept across Doinb's long string of data on the screen, and he seemed to see again the suffocating pressure of Li Fan's performance in the highlight reel.

After a full five minutes, he finally spoke: "Data is very important; it represents a player's consistency and effort throughout the season."

Old Xu's expression improved considerably; wasn't this tantamount to agreeing with his decision?

"Similarly, video data is also data... From this large number of views, it is not difficult to see that Unreal has a very high popularity among the audience."

"Don't forget, our professional competitions need popularity, especially in the second half of the year when major capital will be investing in LPL to establish representative teams. Popularity is related to whether the league can succeed."

“That’s right. Professional leagues need results, but they also need the support and enthusiasm of the audience.” Jin Yibo tapped his finger lightly on the table.

"A contestant who can create a highlight reel with nearly ten million views in a single day brings attention and buzz, which is a huge value in itself."

"This is not only a reflection of performance on the field, but also of influence off the field."

His words were simple and clear, and everyone present was intelligent. They instantly understood the implication: Unreal might have more to do than just get an "All-Star" award!
The influx of fresh talent and immense popularity brought about by this event is exactly what the league needs and promotes at this stage.

Chen Yao's face instantly lit up with a smile, and she almost couldn't help but clap and cheer.

The Unreal Engine she strongly supports has not only gained recognition for its strength, but its commercial potential and ability to attract traffic have also been recognized by the top management!
Old Xu opened his mouth, but seeing Jin Yibo's calm yet unquestionable expression, and hearing about the nearly ten million views, he swallowed his words of rebuttal.

He knew very well that the leader's decision couldn't be changed.

All you need to do is strictly follow the instructions...

Normally, the boss wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing; it should be related to the event's coordination.

Since that's the case, it's best not to provoke him.

"Therefore, my decision is to give the regular season MVP to Unreal. I believe everyone has already seen his high efficiency."

After saying this, Jin Yibo looked around.

Seeing that no one else objected, he nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Let's give the best mid laner of the regular season to Unreal as well."

Double honor!

The mid-laner who was also named MVP of the regular season and selected to the All-NBA First Team!
This honor is significant for any professional player, let alone a newcomer who has only been playing for half a season!

This can no longer be simply described as recognition; it's almost a coronation. The authorities have personally and heavily affixed the labels of genius and prestige to Li Fan.

It's obvious they're planning to promote Li Fan!
Chen Yao's fingers trembled slightly with excitement, and she tried her best to control herself and not lose her composure.

Because she has another identity... a big fan of Unreal, her favorite thing to do is watch Li Fan's live stream after get off work.

Although she is an official staff member of League of Legends, she doesn't like the game at all and is more interested in the newly released PUBG.

Li Fan is now widely recognized as the strongest streamer...

I became a fan the first time I saw it.

Seeing my idol win so many awards naturally makes me genuinely happy.
The last trace of color drained from Old Xu's face. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

"I've already made my reasons very clear." Jin Yibo looked at Lao Xu and still wanted to comfort him, after all, he was his capable assistant.

"Unreal's performance is phenomenal. He not only conquered the field with his strength, but also attracted a large audience with his personal charm. This is exactly the kind of fresh blood and role model that our league needs at this stage."

When Lao Xu saw the way Jin Yibo was looking at him, he nodded.

Jin Yibo then smiled: "This decision may be controversial, but I believe time will prove its correctness." "Alright, let's hurry up. I hope you can complete these tasks before the competition starts tomorrow." Jin Yibo gave the final instructions and quickly left the meeting room.

For someone of his caliber, this is a very, very small matter; he has more important meetings to attend.

As soon as the meeting ended, Chen Yao practically jogged back to her lounge in her high heels and locked the door behind her.

I couldn't wait to take out my phone and open the live stream I was following.

The screen lit up, and Li Fan's expressionless yet exceptionally handsome face appeared in the lower right corner of the camera. Before she could even swoon, her attention was completely drawn to Li Fan's irritating words.

"Do you guys understand how to control recoil with a 15x scope? It's actually not that hard. Finding a 15x scope these days is pretty boring."

In the game, Li Fan's character was holding an M16A4 with an incredibly exaggerated 15x scope mounted on it!

The next moment, he opened the scope and started shooting at the two figures that were vaguely moving on the hillside in the distance!
Da da da da da!
The dense barrage of bullets formed an almost straight line, spraying out with pinpoint accuracy!
At such a distance... everyone saw green blood floating in the scope!

[Unreal used an M16A4 to headshot and knock down wojiushiwangzhe]

[Unreal used an M16A4 to kill dadididada]

Double kill!

The live stream screen was silent for a moment, then the comments erupted like a volcanic eruption.

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[Holy crap?! A 15x scope, fully automatic M16 with recoil control? Am I seeing things?!]

[The M16 doesn't have a fully automatic version? Are you stupid?]

[I've reported this! They didn't expose my livestream of washing my hair upside down!]

[Wait for me, we're reporting this together! This is definitely suspicious!]

[This is hilarious! You guys think you're cheating just because you can't pull off certain maneuvers? You should really look into what Unreal Engine is all about, instead of embarrassing yourselves here.]

Is this the skill level of the top PUBG streamer? It's terrifying!

Chen Yao was equally shocked when she saw this scene—a 15x scope!
With a 15x scope, you can zoom to 1000 meters, right?

How could he kill two people at once?
As expected of Li Fan!

"That's boring. I'll show you something a little more interesting." Li Fan seemed completely unconcerned about the frenzy and skepticism in the comments.

Switch the 15x scope back to the AWM.

Then look into the distance!

The 15x scope's field of view was stretched to its limit, making distant objects appear somewhat blurry and distorted, with only a small red dot in the center of the crosshair.

The camera slowly pans, as if searching for something.

Suddenly, the camera freezes!
On the far-off reverse slope of the hillside, a black dot seemed to move slightly!
If Li Fan's camera hadn't happened to be positioned there, no one would have noticed.

"Now I'll teach you a trick about using scopes."

“6倍镜密位500m，8倍镜和15倍镜1000m。”

"Then open the mini-map... the black line is one kilometer and the white line is one hundred meters. Switch lines with your target and use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate approximately how far away it is."

"It should be one kilometer!"

"Everyone, look carefully!"

Li Fan picked up the AWM, aimed the crosshair at the small figure in the distance, and fired a shot.

boom!
With the sound of gunfire... those in front fell to the ground!

[Unreal used an AWM to headshot and kill lurenjia-123]

【? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[What the hell?! What the hell is this?!]

[Isn't there recoil that causes the bullet to drift? Do you have to raise the muzzle when shooting at long range? Why does the crosshair just shoot the person down the line?]

[Cheat! Confirmed! If this isn't a lock-on cheat, I'll eat my keyboard!]

[I just said recoil control isn't something you can cheat at! How do you explain this AWM? The crosshair is directly locked onto the head?]

"This is the scope tutorial I just gave. Did you notice that I adjusted the distance using mils below the scope? This is the effect at 1,000 meters. Once you've aimed the crosshair, it's one shot."

As Li Fan spoke, he adjusted the distance to nine hundred meters...

This time, the doubts in the live stream were instantly drowned out by the desire to learn!
【Holy crap! So that's how it is!】

[Milky adjustment? I get it... I was just guessing before, I never knew there was such a thing.]

[Unreal Engine, I want to learn this!]

[Wow, this tutorial is so hardcore! You can't learn anything from other streamers, but you can learn tons of tips and tricks from the Unreal Engine livestream.]

[Where's the one who was just saying it was cheating? Come out and show yourself! Doesn't your face hurt?]

This is an invaluable lesson! I played for hundreds of hours before I even knew about these secret codes!

Li Fan directly told everyone what positions needed to be adjusted.

It's actually the crosshair distance in the aiming and shooting section; the default keys are Page Up and Page Down.

However, the distance can be adjusted by changing it to Alt + scroll wheel up and Alt + scroll wheel down.

This is much more convenient than pressing the default two buttons.

The moment the lesson ended...

The live stream was immediately flooded with gifts, ranging from small tiger food to large excavators!
