League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 105 Let's take the spotlight to a bigger stage!

Soon, QG entered a rest period, but their daily training matches continued as usual, making final preparations for the upcoming playoffs.

Chen Dongqing's live stream was still full of antics. He immediately got a Samsung 1TB SSD and installed it on his computer. With enough free space, Chen Dongqing downloaded a lot of games he was familiar with.

There were also games like DNF and Overwatch, which they played with great enthusiasm.

It's just that there's no original in this era, otherwise he would have to compare his merits and demerits.

Other teams, however, were clearly not so free.

According to the current league format, in addition to the top four teams in each group advancing to the playoffs, the second-to-last teams in each group will also face a relegation match.

The bottom two teams from each group will face off in a do-or-die match. The loser will be relegated from the LPL to the LSPL, while the winner will advance to the next relegation match.

The match was between HYG and M3, with HYG ultimately winning 3-0 and advancing to the next round of the relegation matches, while M3 was unfortunately relegated and returned to LSPL.

M3's position will be directly replaced by EDE, the LSPL Spring Split champion this year.

Next up is another match between the second-to-last teams in their respective groups. As the second-to-last team, this match will be easier, with the winner securing their LPL spot and the loser advancing to the relegation matches.

This match was between OMG, the second-to-last team in Group B, and EPA, the second-to-last team in Group A. In the end, OMG won 3-0, thus securing their spot.

According to the schedule, HYG and EPA will have to fight the runner-up and third-place team from LSPL in the final relegation battle. The winner will be promoted to LPL, and the loser will be relegated to LSPL.

This match is also somewhat related to QG.

Because QG.Y, led by Lin Weixiang and Cherish, qualified for the relegation tournament by finishing third in the LSPL, they will face off against EPA for a spot in the LSPL.

On April 14th, the members of QG's first team came to the LSPL stadium as spectators to watch the match.

At this moment, both contestants had already taken to the stage under the guidance of the host and were making their final preparations.

The QG team members stood up and cheered on the second team members on stage. Liu Qingsong looked at his old friend Lin Weixiang and gave him a thumbs up.

Chen Dongqing, however, wasn't looking at Lin Weixiang; he was looking at the host.

In mid-April, the temperature had already warmed up, and Lin Yuanhua was standing on the stage wearing a dress, with a bright smile.

Beneath the dress were slender, smooth calves and jade-like feet in high heels; above the dress were delicate, fair shoulders and a swan-like neck.

Today, Lin Yuanhua was clearly wearing heavy makeup, and her every smile and gesture was captivating, making her look quite stunning.

However, as she was speaking, the camera panned across the audience and, upon seeing Chen Dongqing's handsome face in the audience, she visibly hesitated. She quickly finished her opening remarks and then left the stage.

The match began quickly.

This match was actually quite suspenseful, after all, QG.Y was only the third place in LSPL, not even a runner-up.

Just now, LSPL runner-up YM fell to HYG, making this match even more uncertain.

The result of the match was also quite regrettable. QG.Y and EPA fought hard for five games, and QG.Y even had a brief advantage in the fifth game, but ultimately failed to win.

EPA's South Korean player, Kim Gong, displayed incredible dominance in this type of game.

GimGoon's Graves build with Black Cleaver and Death's Dance was a blatant copy of Chen Dongqing's, but it still produced excellent results. In mid-game team fights, he almost single-handedly took on three opponents, eliminating his future teammate Lin Weixiang with a single shot, and forcefully leading his team to reverse the situation and successfully avoid relegation.

Seeing their second team lose, the QG members all looked slightly disappointed and couldn't help but sigh.

There's really no way around it. Theoretically speaking, the relegation matches are much more difficult than the LSPL finals. It's already quite an achievement that QG.Y made it to the fifth game.

The QG team rushed to the backstage lounge and saw the QG.Y players looking somewhat dejected.

At this moment, Lin Weixiang's eyebrows could be seen twitching as he tried to comfort his teammates.

"What's there to be afraid of? We'll just win it back in the Summer Split. I wasn't good enough today, but I'll be invincible this summer!"

Having experienced the challenges of the LPL, Cherish seems to have improved his mentality considerably, and he chimed in, "We will definitely make it up to the Summer Split!"

At this moment, Da Congming continued, "Let's go, let's go! Keep up the good work this summer, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"Wuhu! Let's go!" Uzi exclaimed immediately upon hearing that he was being treated to a meal. "Coming here and getting a free meal? This is so great!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Weixiang immediately became agitated and said, "I only said I'd invite my teammates, not you guys! You didn't lose!"

Lin Weixiang couldn't afford to invite members from two teams at once, especially since one team member already had a big appetite!

Uzi's smile vanished instantly upon hearing this, and he scoffed, "So stingy, huh?"

"Yes, that's how stingy we are!"

The two bickered, and the atmosphere in the lounge immediately became lively, even the gloom of losing the game was swept away.

At this point, Manager Linko finally stepped forward and said with a smile, "Do you guys really need to treat us at a time like this? Alright, alright, I'll treat both teams to dinner!"

Linko is not only the manager, but also one of the founders of QG Club, and he has a very large fortune.

"Wuhu, take off!" Uzi's smile returned, and he immediately rushed out of the lounge and headed straight for the bus.

Chen Dongqing, meanwhile, was lagging behind at the back of the line, looking at his phone with a smile on his face. He then said to the manager, "Brother Lin, I have an appointment with a friend, so I won't be able to have dinner with you guys."

Linko gave Chen Dongqing a meaningful look and smiled, "Go ahead, are you coming back tonight?"

Chen Dongqing nodded: "Of course I'll come back. I'll have a meal and then head straight back."

"Okay, go ahead."

After receiving permission, Chen Dongqing took out his phone to make a call to exchange locations, and he quickly arrived at a staff entrance in the backstage area.

Before long, Lin Yuanhua also walked over quickly.

After finishing her work, Lin Yuanhua changed back into casual clothes. She wore ordinary skinny jeans, a thick blue sweatshirt, and a black baseball cap.

By this time, all her makeup had been washed off, and her outfit didn't look particularly striking. However, upon closer inspection, one could still see her delicate features and the shapely figure accentuated by her tight jeans.

"Yuan Hua'er?" Chen Dongqing said with a smile, "Let's go eat?"

Lin Yuanhua's face darkened slightly, and she said, "Just because you called me Yuan Hua'er, you have to treat us to dinner today!"

"."

[From now on, updates will be back to midnight. Updating at noon really doesn't suit me, because sometimes I need to post some information and screenshots in the chapter comments, but I'm usually still asleep at noon.]

Today there's a chapter that combines two parts, making a total of 8,000 words across three chapters. The subsequent daily life scenes won't be too long, only 400-500 words each.

Regarding the second team's storyline, I initially considered letting them directly enter the LPL, but in the end, I decided against it. The second team needs some twists and turns; making it directly would be a bit far-fetched.

Furthermore, after joining the LPL, Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong are no longer on the same team, which doesn't feel quite right, so let's just let them lose.

We'll make the playoffs tomorrow, see you guys tomorrow.

It's almost the end of the month, so if you have any monthly passes, please vote! Thanks everyone! or2
