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

Chapter 132 Was Lucian really trained by Marco? (5.2k)

Although professional players can't drink alcohol, the time passed quickly as everyone chatted together, and the celebration banquet lasted for more than three hours.

Although Li Fan was happy, he was still a little overwhelmed by the occasion.

The surrounding noise mixed with the smell of perfume, plus the constant stream of people wanting to take photos with me.

That's just how it is when you become famous.

When something is trending, people always want to take photos with it.

After all, a hotel can't just refuse entry to people...

Before you know it, quite a few people have slipped in.

I never had such an experience when I was a cow or a horse in my previous life.

This kind of purely social interaction feels even more tiring than playing a competition.

It would be much better to play a few dozen easy and enjoyable scrims with SKT.

Seeing that the factory manager and Abu and the others were almost done and were sitting to the side resting and chatting, Li Fan got up and went over.

"Abu, Kai, I'm a little tired, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Abu glanced at Li Fan's face and could indeed see some fatigue. After all, he had been highly focused for three games, and there were post-match interviews and interactions with fans, which had taken a toll on his physical strength.

He nodded understandingly, took out his room key from his pocket and handed it to Li Fan: "Okay, you've worked hard today. Get some rest. We'll meet at 10 a.m. tomorrow, take the bus back to Shanghai, and then get ready to go to Brazil."

"Okay, I understand," Li Fan replied, then said goodbye to his other teammates and left the banquet hall.

The rooms at the Renaissance Nanjing Huatai Hotel are naturally of a high standard.

However, since the celebration banquet for Ed Zhu has already been arranged, these kinds of things are unlikely to be a problem.

Naturally, he generously booked rooms for everyone.

Each starting player has their own room, while substitutes and staff members share a room...

Li Fan swiped open the door, casually tossed his coat onto the sofa, and then relaxed into the soft bed, stretching comfortably.

"System..." he murmured to himself.

A virtual interface appeared before his eyes, visible only to him.

His gaze fell directly on the learning points column, which still only had 1386 points.

Today can be described as a day of explosive success in League of Legends professional competition.

First, there are the regular season honors.

Regular season MVP, best mid laner in the regular season.

With an LPL Spring Split championship and an FMVP award, it goes without saying that he's the most popular figure in the professional gaming world today.

"If... these points could be obtained directly from League of Legends, then we would be able to take off from here."

The cheat system is indeed very useful, but it has a limitation on his current main job, League of Legends, which prevents him from directly gaining any learning points by playing the game.

The amount we could have earned today would be astronomical, unlike the miserable situation we're in now.
However, there is another phenomenal game coming up.

As long as you get on the PUBG bandwagon, winning the championship won't be too bad.

"But that's enough now."

After all, my initial stats were only "excellent," but now they've all surpassed 90, and I've mastered so many heroes...

There weren't any five-star units before, but now there's a five-star Syndra.

Li Fan quickly adjusted her mindset, took out her pajamas from her backpack, and prepared to take a hot shower.

The warm water washed away the fatigue on her body. Li Fan came out of the bathroom in comfortable pajamas and dried her still dripping hair with a towel.

Actually, taking a bath is a very relaxing and stress-relieving thing... The drowsiness I felt in the banquet hall before was miraculously reduced by the hot water, and I actually became much more awake.

I took out my phone and glanced at it; it was only 11:30, which is really early.

"Since I can't sleep anyway, why not..." Li Fan's mind was suddenly filled with the idea of ​​earning some study points.

However... there aren't really any mobile games that are suitable for live streaming these days.

Then it also needs to have a certain degree of competitiveness.

Honor of Kings is fine, but the problem is that it's a competitor of League of Legends.

As a professional player in the league, the penalties for streaming competing games could be severe.
If there's a PUBG Mobile game available, then PUBG Mobile would be a good fit...

The problem is that PUBG has only been out for a little over a month, so how could there be a PUBG Mobile game?

As for the other mini-games, to be honest, they're not very good.

I'm pretty bad at Dou Dizhu and Gomoku, let alone Go. I'm a complete novice at Go. I don't know anything about Go except liberties. How am I supposed to play that?
After hesitating for a moment, I still sent a message to Abu.

[Brother Ji, do you think I'll face severe punishment if I stream King of Glory?]

Although the Mid-Season Invitational is coming up and the organizers will definitely not impose any suspensions, what if they hold them accountable later and impose a suspension of one or two games in the Summer Split regular season? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?

After all, the start of the Spring Split wasn't great, and I didn't play, so I couldn't achieve a perfect record. But I'll definitely try to get a perfect record in the Summer Split.

【? ? ? 】

[Stop messing around... Hang in there and go back to streaming CrossFire, or PUBG, play as long as you want.]

[It would be a real problem if he got suspended and couldn't play any games.]

The previous live streams, whether it was CrossFire or PUBG, did not have a direct competitive relationship with League of Legends, since they are not the same type of game.

But Honor of Kings is different. Although it is a mobile game, it belongs to the MOBA genre, and what's more, it also has the KPL league.

Their scale is getting bigger and bigger. They even have a division for Honor of Kings. However, it's not called EDG yet because it was acquired in February. The Spring Split has officially started, so they can't change the name until the Autumn Split.

In this situation, many people are unaware that EDG has established a division for Honor of Kings.

If Li Fan streams Honor of Kings, the situation will be very different, and it will cause a lot of trouble later...

The main issue is that the two events are not co-organized.

The operation of LPL events is handled by the LPL League.

The KPL tournament is managed by the KLP League.

Although they are all under Tencent, they are divided into many departments, and these departments are in competition with each other. Under such circumstances, it goes without saying that helping other departments promote games and events would offend the LPL officials.

Unless officially endorsed by the LPL, it will definitely be punished.

But such a thing is absolutely impossible without even considering it.

Unless both of their superiors agree...

And their superiors are obvious; they both went straight to the director level at Tencent Interactive Entertainment.

How could the director of such a large company have the time to care what game a professional League of Legends player streams?
Abu was genuinely afraid that Li Fan's live stream would cause a lot of trouble.

Don't worry, don't worry, I won't do a live stream without official permission.

"That's good..." Seeing this, Abu finally relaxed a lot.

I turned off WeChat to chat with Abu, and then I saw several unread messages in Pineapple's chat box.

Congratulations to Fan Ge on winning his first championship in his professional career!

That's amazing!

Upon seeing this message, Li Fan instantly had an idea: he absolutely had to capitalize on this wave of traffic today.

If you don't give up, there will always be more solutions than problems!
He rolled his eyes at Pineapple.

[What a fake brother! My first championship was the QQ Speed ​​SSC Spring Championship!]

【? ? ? 】

【Then let me ask you, is the QQ Speed ​​Spring Championship a championship?】

[This counts? /eye roll]

Do you play Honor of Kings? Interested in duo-queuing with me?

Are you that addicted to the internet? You just finished playing League of Legends and you're already playing Honor of Kings?

Want to play? If so, just log in!

【Come!】

Wang Boluo looked at the WeChat message and suddenly remembered something: today's data traffic was incredibly high.

If I could do a live stream with Li Fan right now...

The level of popularity was incredibly high.

[Hey Fan, can we talk about something? Can we stream our duo queue games of Honor of Kings?]

【Of course! Even if you don't stream, I'll still ask you to, because I can't stream King of Glory myself, so I need you to help me promote it.】

Thanks, Brother Fan! I'll send you a big treasure map later!

Li Fan smiled, then clicked to accept the game invitation sent by Pineapple, and the team interface of Honor of Kings immediately appeared on his phone screen.

Pineapple's game ID is "A Pineapple," while Li Fan's ID remains "EDG Unreal."

"Hello, can you hear me?" Pineapple's voice came through the phone, tinged with barely concealed excitement.

She understood perfectly well that Li Fan was giving her traffic...

Otherwise, why not find someone else to duo queue with?

This is why we say we need a complete treasure map.

"I can hear you, very clearly," Li Fan replied, adjusting the position of his phone as he did so. "I play jungle or marksman a bit more often."

"No problem. I can't really say for sure about League of Legends, but in King of Glory, I'm a top-tier mid-lane Daji. Watch me carry you to victory today." "Since when Diamond IV is considered a top-tier mid-lane Daji?"

"Isn't Diamond strong enough? You're only Diamond 1... Why is your rank in King of Glory so high?"

The Star rank hasn't been introduced yet; once you reach Diamond rank, you're directly a King rank.

Li Fan's account is Diamond I with four stars, which means he's already halfway to King rank. If he wins another game to trigger the promotion match, his rank will be extremely high.

"No, where do you find so much time to play Honor of Kings?"

"Didn't I tell you? I, Lucian, was honed through King of Glory; I'm a top-tier Marco!"

"...Do you think I'm stupid?"

As always, you absolutely cannot believe a word Li Fan says; he's too outrageous!
After just a few simple words, Pineapple's live stream chat exploded.

It began to gain popularity at an unimaginable speed.

The main reason is that her title is just too attractive.

"Playing King of Glory with Spring Split champion Unreal!"

This title is so clear that it won't confuse anyone who reads it.

After having doubts, they all started asking themselves, "Is this Unreal the Unreal I'm thinking of?"
I clicked in to take a look... and when I saw EDGUnreal in the queue, my heart started racing!
Holy crap, is it really true?

They all started typing inquiries.

It was only when they heard Li Fan's voice that they confirmed it.

Holy crap, it really is!

After a brief pause, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

Holy crap! Is this really Unreal Engine?

[Did I enter the wrong live stream? Is a League of Legends champion mid laner playing Challenger?]

[What happened to the promise that esports players don't play competing products? You play Dota, fine, but you're even playing a screen protector game? That's so fake! Oops!]

[Hilarious! What's this? Publicly executing League of Legends? Is Honor of Kings really that good?]

[Fan, wake up! You're the face of the LPL! I won't even mention you playing other games, but how can you play Honor of Kings?!]

[That's a pretty high rank! If it's Brother Fan, he must play a lot.]

[Fan Ge's live stream is still black... This shouldn't be it, it's probably a fake. I don't know, you could try calling to check.]

[Don't you guys know Pineapple? She's the girl who plays PUBG with Brother Fan. This title obviously refers to Brother Fan.]

Haha, now I like Unreal Engine even more. I only play QQ Speed ​​when there are events, but my true favorite game is still Honor of Kings.

……

Meanwhile, Li Fan's live stream was also flooded with comments and exchanges.

[Hey dog, does your gaming hierarchy still exist? Even Unreal Engine is playing Honor of Kings!]

[Haha, this is hilarious! A bunch of people said Honor of Kings was no good, but even professional players play it.]

Why isn't it streaming? The screen is still black.

[Unreal Engine is really addictive; when I can't play anything else in the hotel, I start playing mobile games.]

[When did we say we couldn't play Honor of Kings? I just said that it's an easy game to climb the ranks with just a screen protector, it's not difficult at all.]

[Honor of Kings is always trying to piggyback on League of Legends' popularity. Their Angela was previously just based on the Fire Mage, but they changed it back after being warned!]

[How dare a professional player from the League of Legends stream King of Glory? Believe me, it'll be banned the very next day!]

A massive amount of comments kept scrolling by...

There's no other way but to watch the game footage, you have to go to Pineapple's live stream.

As a result, Pineapple's live stream exploded in popularity, immediately reaching number one in that time slot, with an astonishing 60,000 viewers online!

As for the second-ranked live stream, it was Li Fan's live stream, with more than 50,000 viewers online.

More than 50,000 people were watching a black screen... It's exaggerated, but everyone's used to it by now.

They were quickly matched into the first game.

Li Fan wanted to play the top lane, and his teammates were filled with question marks the moment he picked Marco.

[Making a fuss over nothing. Lucian can go mid lane, what's wrong with going top lane? Players who just stick to the game are so ignorant.]

Indeed, what's the point of asking that?

And pineapple can indeed only extract her Daji.

We quickly entered the game.

Li Fan was facing Lu Bu in the top lane. When Lu Bu saw Marco coming to the top lane, he played very aggressively, always trying to trade blows, but he dodged the attacks and took a whole magazine of bullets in the process.

In less than 30 seconds of laning, the top laner secured a solo kill.

Seeing the kill notification from the system, Pineapple couldn't help but exclaim in the voice chat, "No way, Fan-ge, how did you manage to solo kill the enemy Lu Bu in such a short time?"

"Basic skills, don't be silly. This Lu Bu is a bit too eager. He wants to trade blows with me at level one. Isn't that just feeding? And let me tell you, I'm definitely a KPL professional level player, and one of the top tiers."

"I told you you're fat and you're still panting!"

"Then you just watch..."

Just one minute later, more good news came from the road.

Marco successfully solo-killed Lü Bu once again.

Pineapple glanced at the top lane and saw Li Fan's Marco Polo clearing the minion wave, his health almost full.

She couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement: "You really know how to play Marco. You're better than many streamers."

Just then, Zhao Yun, at level three, wanted to help Lu Bu get revenge. He used his first skill to poke from the side, but before he could use a basic attack, Li Fan used his second skill to pull him away. After tapping the first skill a few times, Li Fan started shooting at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun didn't fare well; his health was reduced to half, and he quickly retreated.

But at this point, it wasn't so easy to leave. Li Fan continued the pursuit and used his first skill to clear Zhao Yun's last bit of health in front of the turret. At this moment, Lu Bu came up again, but Li Fan's Marco was already level four!

As expected, he was killed again.

In just four minutes, they had already gotten four kills.

"So fierce!"

Meanwhile, the chat in the live stream was scrolling wildly.

Four kills in four minutes? Is this playing King of Glory like a bot?

[Brother Fan's Marco is pretty good; his positioning and skill usage are very precise.]

[I feel like he's practicing League of Legends in King of Glory! His playstyle is so Lucian-like. Now I know why he's so proficient with Lucian even though he's never played against him.]

No wonder his rank is only Diamond 1!

[Pro players' game understanding is truly terrifying; they completely crushed Lu Bu in just a few minutes!]

[Brother Fan, you should consider switching to the KPL (King Pro League). Don't waste your talent.]

[Seriously, you elementary school kids, don't say such ridiculous things. LPL pro players switching to KPL? Where have you ever heard of a father becoming his son?]

Pineapple, watching the live chat, couldn't help but tease, "Brother Fan, the viewers are saying you should consider switching to the KPL."

Li Fan laughed: "KPL is out of the question, I still prefer the feeling of sitting in front of the computer."

[6666! This is the aggressiveness of a professional player; Honor of Kings is just a game of applying a screen protector.]

As the two chatted and laughed, ten minutes into the game, Li Fan's Marco Polo had already reached Infinity Edge and the Sky Piercer, and his damage output had reached its peak.

In a mid-lane team fight, he found a perfect position to deal damage, used his ultimate to enter the fray and unleash full damage, securing a triple kill.

The guy who kept asking questions before has stopped talking.

"Victory!"

Looking at the victory screen, Pineapple couldn't help but sigh, "Playing duo with you is too easy, isn't it? You didn't even show the power of the number one Daji in the Chinese server."

"Awesome! I was the strongest Daji in Diamond rank before, and now I'm the number one Daji in the whole country! I'm going to try to reach King rank tonight, so don't hold me back, number one Daji in the whole country."

"It's still uncertain who will hold whom back!"

And so, the two continued playing duo queue until 1 a.m.

Li Fan then used Li Bai, Lanling King, Jing Ke, and Han Xin to win the game.

This resulted in a five-game winning streak, not only reaching the King rank but also gaining an extra star.

Having gained 1,400 learning points... I finally ended the game with satisfaction.

On Weibo, the hashtag #UnrealArenaofHonor# began to surge in popularity.

Am I the only one wondering where he gets so much time to play King of Glory? And his rank isn't low either.

[His talent is truly terrifying; how can he play this so well?]

So Lucian really practiced by playing Marco? I'm going to download Honor of Kings tomorrow.

[How could someone become this good at playing a game like this? It's clearly a professional player dominating. I can easily climb from Bronze to King of Glory, let alone a professional player.]

Are League of Legends players always superior? Can you really develop a sense of superiority just from playing a game?

Honestly, if Unreal Engine were to compete in the KPL (King Pro League), they would absolutely get crushed!

[Is the dog still being stubborn?]

[I've played both games, so there's really no need to argue. Just enjoy yourselves.]
