League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 146 This is the path to becoming a hero

"Awesome! Awesome!" Uz exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement. "Awesome! Brother Qing! You're really like a brother to me!"

When he was double-killed in the bottom lane, even he himself felt that the game was in jeopardy.

But who would have thought that while he was playing defensively in the bottom lane, his top laner went on a rampage!

Life is truly unpredictable; the large intestine encloses the small intestine.

"There's nothing I can do." Chen Dongqing shrugged. "If SKT drags the game into the late game, they might have a chance, but if they insist on playing a tempo-based game with us, I definitely won't allow it."

"That's not quite it," Xiangguo said cheerfully. "Actually, their pace is pretty fast too."

After killing everyone, QG's three players pushed down the bottom lane tower. Chen Dongqing, carrying the huge sum of money from the quadra kill and tower gold, returned to base and immediately upgraded his Vampiric Scepter into Blade of the Ruined King.

Then, while he was at it, he upgraded his shoes to Mercury Shoes.

This equipment is just ridiculous.

Chen Dongqing hurriedly went out and said, "Liu Shiyu, come and protect the top lane. I'll push down the top tower and take the Rift Herald."

"OK, here we go!" Xiangguo's tone was quite cheerful.

In the face of an 8-0 Murloc, all strategy becomes meaningless.

Chen Dongqing is all about sheer strength and flying bricks. He pushed the minion wave into the tower and saw that the big tree still dared to defend the tower. Without saying a word, he charged straight in!

With your gear and condition, how can you possibly defend the tower?!

At this moment, Xiangguo was acting as a mobile ward, and he wasn't afraid of SKT players camping there at all!

Once the Murloc builds Blade of the Ruined King, the Treant becomes practically useless, especially without its ultimate ability.

He directly fed the fish remotely to slow them down, and then walked inside with his trident.

Although Duke did manage to dodge the Fizz's ultimate by using his W ability on a minion, the Fizz was already in his face.

AW was full of enthusiasm, and then used his E skill to dodge Maokai's Q and the turret's cannon fire. He chased after Maokai and attacked him relentlessly, managing to kill Maokai under the turret!

"Legendary!"

Keep it up!

"With the big tree killed, the top lane tower is about to fall! QG will also take the Rift Herald! Their advantage is widening!"

At this point, the live broadcast room was in an uproar.

[Where are the Korean fans? They need to do something!]

[Laughing, don't Korean fans like to jump to conclusions?]

[Heh, judging by this, it seems SKT can't withstand Tree's beating either?]

[Haha, that's hilarious! They're even letting EDG play? If it were EDG, Duke would be 9-0 right now.]

The screams of the audience continued to ring out as they cheered for the QG players on the field. At this moment, the home team's advantage was once again evident!

Chen Dongqing vaguely heard the cheers and couldn't help but smile.

He was quite proud at that moment.

Backstage.

Kkoma frowned as he looked at the scene before him; he knew the game was lost.

He shook his head and said to Bengi beside him, "This team seems a bit different from the usual LPL teams."

"Indeed," Bengi nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It really is a bit different."

What are the advantages of LPL teams? They are aggressive in the early game and can often create a 4,000-5,000 gold lead in the early stages. Then, the team will start to stagnate and be slowly outmaneuvered by LCK teams.

But what about this QG team?

What makes them different from other LPL teams is...

Their aggressiveness is abnormally strong!

They would even group up and pin four SKT players under their towers after just over ten minutes, resulting in a beautiful team wipe.

This terrifying aggressiveness prevented SKT from even commencing operations, leaving them completely defenseless.

It feels like you're a top-tier special forces soldier, nicknamed Blade, highly trained, with a wealth of combat knowledge, and you're walking into the arena wielding a military knife.

But then you discover that the guy on the other side, Omo, is wielding an AK47 Fire Kirin!

How do you expect us to fight this?

Can your knife even get close?

kkoma stared at the merfolk slaughtering on the screen, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He understood that all of QG's momentum stemmed from this top laner.

"We need to investigate him when we get back," Kkoma said in a deep voice. "This man is our biggest threat!"

After the top lane tower was destroyed, Fizz was completely freed up, and SKT's defensive pressure increased sharply once again!

They now have to be extremely careful when farming jungle camps and creeps, for fear that a murloc might suddenly appear out of nowhere.

It's fortunate that SKT has a Lissandra, a champion with strong survivability, who can barely talk to Fizz. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to farm the minions on the side lanes.

Soon, the game reached the 20-minute mark, and Baron Nashor spawned.

QG didn't hesitate and continued their aggressive play, forcing a team fight at Baron Nashor!

With the combination of Blade of the Ruined King, Trinity Force, Fizz, and Lucian, their dragon-slaying speed was obviously fast. SKT dared not be careless and had no choice but to engage in team fights at the Baron pit.

But this acceptance was exactly what QG wanted.

Their group-buying skills are quite impressive.

The moment he saw the person approaching, Doinb flashed and hooked, accurately hitting Blank's Nidalee!

Team battle is about to break out!

QG unleashed a burst of damage, instantly killing Nidalee!

Chen Dongqing's gaze was firm as he precisely fed the fish Karma at the extreme distance, and then the fishmen charged into the ground formation!

Doinb's Abyssal Scepter transformed into Chen Dongqing's Sorcerer's Shoes once again, raising the damage of the Fizz to another level. He managed to kill Karma right in front of all five SKT members before leaving triumphantly!

The situation instantly turned into a five-on-three battle, and SKT suffered a crushing defeat, ultimately losing a major player during the chase.

"Alright, let's go back and take down the dragon." The Ice Maiden and Ezreal were too fast runners, so they didn't chase them. They went back and secured the Baron buff.

Immediately afterwards, QG continued their 4-1 split push, and the side lane Fizz had reached 10-0. They were simply slaughtering SKT like pigs. Not to mention a Maokai, even if Maokai and Nidalee were stacked together, they couldn't beat this Fizz!

Immediately afterwards, the middle and top lanes attacked the high ground together.

In the end, another team fight broke out on the high ground. QG once again dove the tower and wiped out SKT with a three-for-five exchange!

"Wuhu! One wave!"

Chen Dongqing is still alive this time, and together with Uzi, they pushed down SKT's base!

Congratulations to QG for defeating SKT! They will lead the group stage standings with a 3-0 record!

Colonel Guan's voice was incredibly excited, and he roared with excitement.

The atmosphere was also filled with rousing background music, and a red light flashed on the ground screen beneath our feet.

The awe-inspiring dragon circled the entire venue, then unleashed a bloody red flame!

The top waterdrop notch displays QG's group photo, with a large "Victory!" below it.

The screams from the audience were almost explosive. Although it was just a simple group stage victory, it was of great significance to everyone!

QG is awesome!

[Invincible!]

[SKT is nothing? Kill QG!]

The comments section went completely crazy!

Chen Dongqing took off his headphones and saw the cheering audience; only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He sighed, feigning disappointment, and said, "It's a bit of a shame I couldn't solo kill Faker."

He faced off against Faker many times in the mid-game, but the Lissandra champion was too strong against Fizz, making it impossible for him to kill her.

So it is indeed a bit of a pity.

This is a significant achievement!

Xiangguo glanced at Chen Dongqing sideways and said, "Still saying you're not a Faker fan?"

"Heh, do I look like a fan of his?"

"It certainly doesn't look like it."

"Holy crap, we finally won!" Uzi took off his headphones, looking slightly wistful.

The last time he fought against SKT was back in S3, when he was swept 3-0 and suffered a crushing defeat.

"It's okay, just relax," Spicy Hot Pot laughed from the side. "It's just a group stage match, it's nothing."

Although that's what he said, his mouth was practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

"Indeed," Chen Dongqing joked from the side, "You guys have over-mythologized SKT. We're the team that's aiming for the championship. How can we be happy just because we won one group stage match?"

Indeed, this victory was exhilarating.

But this is just the beginning.

Afterwards, the QG members went to the other side of the stage to shake hands with the SKT members.

The group stage loss was clearly a blow to SKT, so much so that when QG players approached, their faces were still somewhat gloomy.

But there was nothing that could be done, since they were truly slaughtered in this match.

The final score for the Little Fishman was 13-0. They were being treated like fish to be blasted!

Faker looked at the tall, handsome, and sunny guy in front of him and remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "Nihao."

The Chinese word "nihao" is a global language, and most foreigners know it.

Looking at the Faker version of the Demon King in front of him, Chen Dongqing chuckled and said in English, "You played well."

He then shook hands with the next contestant.

Chen Dongqing only smiled slightly again while talking to Duke.

I bought your skin! Your Irelia skin is really good!

After the handshake, Chen Dongqing showed no sign of leaving, knowing he would definitely be interviewed that day.

This time, however, Chen Dongqing was somewhat surprised because he saw a familiar figure walking over.

Lin Yuanhua wore high heels and a white cheongsam. The cheongsam was decorated with a blue and white lotus pattern similar to that of blue and white porcelain. The relatively close-fitting cheongsam accentuated her figure perfectly.

She walked slowly from the backstage passage. With each step, a section of her fair calf could be faintly seen through the gap between her left and right legs, which was slit up to her knees. Her charm was captivating and endless.

Chen Dongqing was slightly surprised to see this.

He didn't mean to belittle one person while praising another, but he genuinely felt that Lin Yuanhua looked much better in a cheongsam than anyone else.

"Chen Dongqing, you're invited to be interviewed today." Lin Yuanhua smiled and extended an invitation to Chen Dongqing.

Chen Dongqing chuckled and said, "OK, no problem!"

Xiangguo glanced at the man and woman in front of him, blinked, and sensed something was amiss.

This time he was quite proactive, taking the peripheral from Chen Dongqing and saying, "I'll take this for you!"

After he finished speaking, he and his teammates returned to the rest room. The group kept turning back every few steps, trying to see if there was anything fishy going on.

Only after the team members had turned the corner and left did Chen Dongqing finally speak, smiling as he said, "Why is it you today?"

"I already said I was going to do an interview," Lin Yuanhua said, giving a thumbs up. "You played really well today!"

Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "I told you, I'm going to win a hundred or two hundred championships!"

"Alright, stop joking around." Lin Yuanhua handed a question card to Chen Dongqing and said, "Take a look at the question, hurry up, the interview is about to begin."

Chen Dongqing glanced at the cue cards and said, "Alright, you can go on stage now."

"Huh? You're fast?"

"I've done this so many times, I'm definitely more experienced than you! What, is this your first time?"

"Come on stage!"

Immediately afterwards, the two walked quickly onto the stage and arrived at the interview area.

At this moment, the MVP of the game is being selected on the top screen.

Without a doubt, it's Chen Dongqing.

The 13-0-4 score of the Fizz, with a 35.22% damage share, highlights his dominance.

Lin Yuanhua handed a microphone to Chen Dongqing, then smiled and introduced herself: "Hello everyone, I'm your host Lin Yuanhua, welcome to the interview segment! Today we have invited Ilex, the MVP of this round, to say hello to everyone~"

Chen Dongqing and Lin Yuanhua used to speak directly in Shanghainese and rarely heard each other speak Mandarin.

Moreover, Lin Yuanhua's Mandarin on stage is even more distinctive, with a slight trailing off at the end of the last "ba" sound.

Chen Dongqing gave Lin Yuanhua a strange look, and when he saw the other woman's eyes widen slightly, he quickly said, "Hello everyone, I'm Ilex."

Seeing this, many viewers in the live stream became quite interested.

This host is alright.

Indeed, she is in no way inferior to the previous female hosts.

[This guy seems to know Brother Shu quite well? They're even exchanging glances?]

[They're not having an affair, are they?]

[Holy crap! No!]

Lin Yuanhua, being a professional, immediately asked a question: "As we all know, SKT was last year's World Championship winner. So, how did it feel to defeat the champion?"

Chen Dongqing pondered for a moment, then said, "The feeling? Of course, it was top-notch! After all, this is the most I've ever killed."

The most arrogant words spoken in the calmest tone naturally elicited a huge response, with cheers erupting from the audience.

Chen Dongqing was not an ignorant and reckless young man; he was certainly aware of his own limitations.

The image of Han fans jumping around before the match had been fueling his pent-up anger, and now it was his turn to be arrogant.

A strange glint flashed in Lin Yuanhua's eyes, then she smiled and asked, "After winning this match, what are your final expectations for the competition?"

Without hesitation, Chen Dongqing continued, "You all probably already know the answer to this kind of question. My goal has always been the same: the championship! I know many people don't have high hopes for us and think we can't be a match for SKT, but today's match proves that we can win!"

Chen Dongqing continued with a smile, "When no one believes in you, you choose to believe in yourself and achieve victory—that's the path to becoming a hero. We will definitely win in the end."

His desire for the championship is never hidden.

Even when he had just joined the LPL Spring Split and was not yet famous, when faced with similar questions, he answered "champion" without hesitation!

Lin Yuanhua nodded in satisfaction; she knew the other party would give this answer.

She thought for a moment, then asked another question: "So, in today's match, you once again picked a hero you'd never used before and achieved brilliant results. Where did you learn to play your Fizz?"

Chen Dongqing glanced at the other person.

Clearly, this person is just making a meme.

Ever since Chen Dongqing mentioned on stage that he was practicing Heimerdinger in Overwatch, everything he does during his live streams has been over-interpreted as him practicing a new hero.

Even when he plays Happy Landlords, the chat will ask him if he's practicing Twisted Fate.

The pacing of the questions was quite good, with a serious question followed by a relatively relaxed one, which helped to ease the tension in the room.

At the same time, the little fishman is also a little joke between the two.

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing remained calm and composed: "The hero Little Fishman is just like me, he also speaks Shanghainese. We're from the same hometown and have known each other since we were kids, so I don't need to practice. I'm already very proficient."

【? ? ? 】

[What the hell, fellow countryman!]

Wow, so the little fishman speaks Shanghainese! No wonder I couldn't understand him at all.

Haha, I just found out too!

The audience was amused. They all knew that Chen Dongqing liked to prank people during interviews, but they didn't expect him to take it to a whole new level today.

Lin Yuanhua glared at Chen Dongqing, a hint of threat flashing in her eyes…

Following that, Lin Yuanhua asked a few more trivial questions, and the two of them had a faint smile on their faces during the conversation, which made the audience feel that something was not right.

In the past, Brother Shu was always a straight man during interviews, and his smiles were only directed at the audience, never at the female hosts. What happened today?

check!

Check carefully!

After the interview, the two returned to the backstage corridor, and Chen Dongqing said with a smile, "Bye-bye!"

"Okay, bye." Lin Yuanhua waved and said, "Good luck in the next match!"

After saying that, the two parted ways, each having their own missions.

But coincidentally, Doinb had just returned from an interview with Korean media and saw the two saying goodbye.

Doinb leaned closer with a wicked grin and asked, "Why are you two talking about goodbye? Do you know her?"

"Yes, I know her," Chen Dongqing said calmly. "I've known her for over ten years."

"Oh? Tell me more!"

"What's it to you!?"

Chen Dongqing refused to answer and quickly returned to the lounge with Doinb.

"Great job!" Linko put his arm around the two of them. "Get some rest, and good luck in the next match!"

Today's schedule is relatively favorable; after this second match, their next match is the fourth match of the day.

In other words, you only need to rest for one session before you can go back on stage and then go home.

After everyone in QG took their positions, Banbazi took the opportunity to briefly discuss some issues that arose in the previous game.

The main focus of the last game was on Uzi and Liu Qingsong. They failed to push the minion wave in the bottom lane, giving SKT a big opportunity.

Uzi and Liu Qingsong realized that they had indeed been a bit careless that time.

If the two players had been more patient back then, and had cleared the lane and then pushed the minion wave a couple of steps, Wolf definitely wouldn't have dared to fight the lane, and then none of this would have happened.

"Now we're not afraid of making mistakes; we just need to remember them," Banbazi laughed. "Other than that, there's no problem. We played perfectly last game!"

In fact, from God's perspective, it's always possible to find problems, but Banbazi believes that those minor issues are insignificant, and the team has already demonstrated its prowess in the previous match.

After experiencing setbacks in training matches, QG has come to realize some of the problems that exist within their team.

Against a team like SKT that excels at counter-attacking, their offensive rhythm is suddenly disrupted whenever the game reaches the mid-game.

The coaching staff and players discussed this issue extensively.

Faced with this situation, it's unrealistic to expect the team to slow down its pace and focus on the mid-to-late game. That's not the style of the team, and even if they could change, it wouldn't be possible to do so in just one MSI.

Therefore, they only need to do one thing at this MSI.

Speed ​​it up! Speed ​​it up! Speed ​​it up, fucking speed it up!

If the mid-game offense will be hampered, then why not just crush SKT in the early game?

This game is a perfect example. In less than fifteen minutes, a five-man tower dive resulted in Fizz getting a godlike streak, leaving SKT completely bewildered.

The results proved that this approach was feasible.

Before long, the third match of the day had already begun.

This time, it's FW versus SUP.

However, the entertainment value really came during the hero selection phase.

The Turkish guy's top laner directly paid homage to Chen Dongqing, picking Fizz to counter Maokai.

This immediately created a great show effect.

"Holy crap, there's someone else who understands it the same way I do?" Chen Dongqing was a little surprised. He sat up straight, wanting to see what his Turkish brother thought.

Immediately afterward, the match began, and when the camera switched to the top lane, he saw green light emanating from the Fizz's hands.

"The Undying Little Fishman?" Chen Dongqing immediately changed his expression like in a Sichuan opera. "Then I'll send it."

Not only is he an unyielding Fizz, but he also built Iceborn Gauntlet and Sunfire Cape, opting for the "easy" playstyle of Fizz from Season 5.

While this playstyle can also suppress the enemy, it obviously can't achieve the same carry effect as Chen Dongqing.

As expected, FW won this game.

The mid-jungle duo of Karsa and Maple from Flash Wolves is among the best in the world.

QG then took to the field again.

Upon seeing the team name G2, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but glance at Uzi, recalling some unpleasant memories.

The match between RNG and G2 in S8 should be considered Uzi's Waterloo in his professional career.

Since then, his reputation has never been good.

However, this time, such a thing will obviously not happen.

Although G2 is the European champion, their overall strength is not actually that great; at least they are no match for QG.

Perkz, the team's core player and a cheerful guy, couldn't gain any advantage against Doinb. Doinb's Rumble ganked Uzi, helping him establish an advantage, and Chen Dongqing in the top lane once again secured a solo kill!

With all three lanes contributing to the victory, the game ended in 26 minutes. Uzi's Sivir, protected by his teammates, relentlessly attacked G2, securing a quadra kill and ending the game with a final kill score of 17-3!

"Congratulations to QG for achieving their fourth consecutive victory! They continue to lead the standings with a 4-0 record!" Changmao shouted from the commentary booth. "After this, QG has basically secured their place in the next round!"

When shaking hands after the match, A-P was quite happy and gave the QG players a thumbs up.

As for the MVP of this match, it was Uzi who won.

After returning to the rest room, the QG members discussed the matter briefly and ultimately decided to watch the fifth match before leaving.

Because SKT was involved in the fifth match.

SKT vs. Flash Wolves (FW).

This matchup still has some suspense.

The Flash Wolves team once defeated the S5 runner-up Koo Tigers twice in the group stage of the S5 World Championship, almost preventing the runner-up from advancing.

At the time, LPL viewers jokingly gave Flash Wolves a nickname: "Anti-Korean Heroes".

Now, the heroes who fought against Korean teams are facing off against LCK teams again, and it remains to be seen how they will fare.

Chen Dongqing looked at the BP in front of him and pondered for a moment.

He knew the outcome of the match, but he didn't know if the outcome would change because of him.

But as it turns out, the outcome remained unchanged.

Flash Wolves took the initiative by picking Kindred and Ryze, a champion SKT has been favoring recently. SKT responded by picking Nidalee and LeBlanc, while continuing to choose lane priority champions for the bot lane.

They're still using the same old strategy: focus on the early game.

Clearly, even after losing a match, SKT still doesn't intend to reveal their full strength and plans to hold back until the knockout stage.

But this time, they messed up.

Karsa, later known as Radar Bro, displayed an extraordinary anti-ganking instinct in this match, completely locking down Blank!

Whenever Xiaohai initiated a gank, Karsa would inevitably counter-gank nearby, which resulted in Xiaohai's first few ganks not only failing but also causing Faker to die once.

At the same time, Karsa even had the energy to help the bot lane, forcing his team's initially disadvantaged bot lane matchup to become even.

Thanks to the jungler's dominance, Flash Wolves successfully made it to the mid-game.

And that's when Flash Wolves will unleash their power.

With EZ and Ryze fully equipped with Tear of the Goddess, and Kindred also making an appearance, SKT's early game lineup gradually became weak.

The two sides fought for a full 50 minutes. In the midst of the six-item battle, Maple's Ryze summoned Faker sitting opposite him. The Ryze's lightning orb bounced out, dealing explosive AOE damage and finally ending the game!

Upon seeing this, the audience erupted in uproar, and countless SKT fans could hardly believe what they were witnessing.

Even the people in QG's rest room were somewhat surprised.

The once invincible SKT suffered two consecutive losses on the second day of the competition. What exactly happened to them?

Without further ado, here's my 1,000-word summary.

The end of the year is getting closer and closer.

See you tomorrow, bros.

PS: Thank you Harlin123123 for the 100 Qidian coins reward. I was too busy the past few days and forgot. Sorry.

Seriously, could you please not choose such a scary ID? When I first saw it, I thought it was 123123100 Qidian coins. No wonder the Silver Alliance is here.
