League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 215 The Ma Family Triangle Kill!

The plane landed in Barcelona quickly. The first-class experience was indeed much better. Chen Dongqing slept comfortably during the flight and could even be described as feeling refreshed.

After arriving at the hotel, the group checked in first. Chen Dongqing threw down his luggage, lay on the bed, and sent a message to his family to let them know he was safe. Then, everyone eagerly left the hotel.

Looking at the scenery of Barcelona, ​​everyone was eager to try it out.

"Isn't Barcelona right here?" Chen Dongqing asked. "You and Liu Qingsong watch Barcelona matches every day, do you ever have a chance to meet Messi?"

"But they won't let us meet," Uz said, a hint of longing in his eyes. "It would be great if we could just meet and take a picture together."

Vincent chimed in, "If you want to see him, I might be able to get in touch with him for you. It should be possible to meet him, at least get a photo with him at the Barcelona club."

"Really? Okay!" Uz's eyes gleamed with excitement. "I'll be waiting for your message!"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's go grab something to eat first."

The group went downstairs first and found a Spanish restaurant.

European countries and the United States give people a very different feeling. Looking at the distant sea, Chen Dongqing only felt refreshed and relaxed.

At least no black guy is trying to sell you albums.

The group decided to try the local seafood risotto first.

The characteristic of this type of rice is that it's undercooked, and the texture is somewhat similar to the bottom of a clay pot rice dish.

Having grown up eating Chinese food, Chen Dongqing found it hard to understand this kind of food. He took a couple of bites and then focused on the seafood in front of him.

While chatting, the LPL team also discussed their upcoming arrangements.

"Have you decided what projects you're going to participate in?" Vincent asked from the side. "Besides the solo competition, everyone has to choose at least one other project."

The current All-Star event still features main competition between regions. The six regions, including wildcard teams, are divided into two camps, Frost and Flame, and compete for points.

But in addition to the main competition, there are also some entertainment modes.

For example, in modes like Clone Wars, SOLO Tournament, Blood Moon Kill, and Co-op Mode, SOLO Mode is usually the most eye-catching, as it is the most direct stage to showcase a player's individual skills.

"I'll join the Clone Wars," Clearlove7 said. "It sounds like it'll be pretty fun."

puff.

Chen Dongqing almost spat it out because he couldn't hold it in.

Mingkai glanced at Chen Dongqing, wondering what this little brat was up to now.

"What about Brother Tree?" Vincent greeted him. "What are you participating in?"

"Ahem." Chen Dongqing straightened himself up and then said, "I'm also joining the Cloning Operation!"

This year's cloning operation is going to be a big event, and Chen Dongqing wants to witness it firsthand.

Soon, it was December 9th, and the All-Star Game officially began.

Thirty players from the six major regions took to the stage one by one after being introduced by the host, and the cheers reached a peak when Faker and Chen Dongqing took the stage!

After stepping down from the stage, Faker specifically came over and said seriously, "Have you seen the schedule for the Clone Wars?"

Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow: "You saw it? So what?"

Faker is his opponent today.

"I'll be waiting for you in the SOLO tournament!" After saying this, Lee Sang-hyeok left without looking back, acting quite childish.

Soon after an all-star battle between Europe and North America, the first day of the SOLO competition began.

The SOLO tournament uses a single-elimination format, and all thirty participants must take part.

Today, seven matches were played in the upper bracket. Right at the start of the match, Faker and Chen Dongqing walked onto the stage together, eliciting cheers from the crowd!

The organizers clearly had some ulterior motives, setting up the two strongest solo players to face off early on, thus kicking off the SOLO tournament.

The two didn't even exchange many words before quickly taking their seats and starting their business plan.

The SOLO match uses the Howling Abyss map, where three heroes can be banned simultaneously.

Chen Dongqing, who was on the blue side, thought for a moment and banned Garen at the start of the game.

On the other side, Faker frowned upon seeing this and immediately banned Teemo.

Upon seeing this, the audience immediately cheered!

This is going to be a full-blown, all-out battle!

Meanwhile, in the North American commentary booth, the three commentators couldn't help but cheer. Jeff, the bearded man, said, "Now let's see which heroes each side chooses!"

After both sides randomly banned heroes, the hero selection screen quickly lit up.

Since it was a blind pick, the order didn't matter, and Faker immediately locked in Syndra.

Faker is confident he can defeat any enemy against this dominant mid laner.

On the other side, Chen Dongqing was not afraid at all and instantly locked onto the Peerless Sword Maiden!

He knew that Faker would most likely pick a ranged mage, but he wasn't afraid at all.

Just do it!

The confrontation quickly began. Chen Dongqing chose Doran's Shield, showing no fear whatsoever. Fiora would always seize the opportunity when Syndra used her Q to poke him, and even if Syndra pushed him away, it didn't matter. He wouldn't lose much health if he dodged the Q skill; on the contrary, Syndra would have to be careful of Fiora's dash after her E was off cooldown.

Both sides continued to farm minions slowly until they both reached 60 minions. When Chen Dongqing built a Doran's Shield and three Doran's Blades, Faker sensed something was wrong.

A Fiora with maxed-out basic items has such strong sustain that his Syndra can't keep up with his health at all. If he keeps farming like this, he'll be the one to lose!

With no other option, Faker had to bite the bullet and go for the fight. Syndra used her Q skill to poke first, then waited for her Q skill to cool down, grabbed the orb with her W skill, and took the initiative to attack!

Chen Dongqing immediately sensed that Faker wanted to fight to the bitter end, and seized the opportunity when Syndra used W, Fiora immediately used QRW!

While blocking Syndra's W, W also used a sword aura to pierce Syndra's first weakness, directly causing a slow effect!

Faker immediately used EQ to try and push Fiora away, but at that moment, Chen Dongqing reacted quickly, and Fiora used Flash to dodge Syndra's push and arrived at her side!

Generally, solo players would choose to bring Exhaust and Barrier, but Chen Dongqing didn't bring either today. Instead, he brought Flash and Cleanse, focusing on offense!

The moment Chen Dongqing dodged Syndra's push, a Weakness spell was already applied to him, but Chen Dongqing instantly removed the Weakness with Cleanse, and the two sides exchanged summoner spells!

At this point, even if Syndra has a barrier to protect her, it's useless. Without Flash and without WE, Syndra has no chance of shaking off Fiora's pursuit!

Chen Dongqing waited patiently for his second Q before unleashing a four-hit combo, by which time Syndra was down to only one-third of her health.

Fiora, on the other hand, maintained a healthy health level thanks to her four-hit combo and healing abilities.

The outcome is decided!

Fiora chased Syndra into the tower and used her Q to pierce through her weakness, bringing Syndra to almost no health!

Chen Dongqing pressed T, and a brand new Teemo like emote appeared above Fiora's head before delivering the fatal blow to Faker—this emote system was also introduced in S7.

The stadium erupted with countless Poros, and the cheers from the crowd never stopped.

Chen Dongqing laughed and opened his arms, signaling the audience to cheer even louder, and the audience quickly responded!

After interacting with the audience, Chen Dongqing slowly walked up to Faker, shook his hand, and gave him a light hug. Then he said, "See you at the SOLO tournament next year~"

Faker was so angry he almost twisted his nose.

Soon, the upper bracket SOLO matches ended, and Chen Dongqing saw his second SOLO opponent – ​​the God of Support, Madlife.

This guy is really good at playing support, but asking him to play a solo match with Chen Dongqing is asking too much of him.

On the third day of the All-Star event, Chen Dongqing took to the stage again, picked Irelia, and easily dominated the entire game, winning the match by getting 100 last hits. At the time of the victory, Madlife's last hits were only 70 – clearly, this support god's last hit skills were not up to par.

At the same time, Uzi also went on stage to face a European player and won easily as well. QG's two carries advanced to the quarterfinals together.

Both players won the match, but felt indifferent, as today's solo matches were not the main event.

There's a crucial situation today.

After the SOLO match, it will be the China-Korea All-Star Battle.

China and South Korea have always been rivals, so both sides attach great importance to the result of this match and neither wants to lose!

Chen Dongqing quickly sat back on the stage and glanced at the opposing team's lineup.

Top laner Smeb, jungler Peanut, mid laner Faker, bot laner Bang, support Madlife.

Aside from the fact that the veteran player had a weakness in support, the other four players were almost flawless.

"Let Jian Zihao and Tian Ye handle them this round, shall we?" Chen Dongqing suggested over the voice chat. "I'll go top lane and 1v1 Smeb, guaranteed win, how about that?"

"What else is there to say?" The factory manager patted his chest. "I guarantee you'll find someone with exceptional skills. Leave it to me."

As for hero selection, this match uses a matchmaking system with blind pick and no bans, so both sides can choose their signature heroes.

This time, Smeb was still not convinced. He immediately locked onto Fiora and decided to have a fencing battle with Chen Dongqing!

At this point, the three commentators from North America also began discussing hero selection.

"Hey Jeff, do you think Camille will appear in this All-Star game?" Deficio asked. "Isn't she in this patch?"

Jeff thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but I don't think it will be this match. Today's game is very important for both sides, and the top laners on both sides probably won't be practicing new champions at a time like this."

Camille is a champion unique to this All-Star event; she hasn't been updated on the official server yet, and none of the players have played her.

But players can see the preview.

Judging from the skill set, this is indeed a perfect hero, with shields, true damage, slows, healing, control, mobility, and crowd control abilities.

The problem is that it's extremely difficult!

For this type of hero, mastering them requires a long practice process, which is why the commentators believed that neither side would choose them.

Choosing such a difficult game is just asking for trouble if you don't know how to play.

But the next second, the top laner of the blue team's Frost team made his choice, and the one he locked onto was Camille!

This move startled everyone.

Locked out before even playing?

"Oh! Amazing!" exclaimed Jeff, the North American commentator. "Ilex's at it again! Does he even know how to play this champion? This champion is incredibly difficult to master!"

"Holy crap, are you even up to the task?" Even the factory manager was a bit surprised. "Don't get completely destroyed by Smeb, will you?"

"Don't worry, how could I not do it?" Chen Dongqing confidently assured him, then moved the mouse to the skills and began to read them carefully.

Clearlove7: "."

The factory manager then turned to Uz and asked, "Has he always been like this?"

Uzi inexplicably recalled the time when Chen Dongqing first formed the team and played training matches, and said, "It really was when he first started playing training matches with you guys, he was watching the captain's skill descriptions while being hacked down by A Guang."

Meiko: "."

As for why Chen Dongqing wanted to see the skills, the reason was simple: Camille had been weakened too much in later generations. He needed to see what Camille looked like now.

The 55% true damage conversion rate of Q at level 1 allows Camille to directly charge in with her E.

The outer edge of W slows enemies by up to 90%, and it also heals you when it hits minions.

The E skill can stun minions, and kicking minions also increases attack speed.

A powerful skill that lasts for four seconds at level one.

OMG, is this paradise?

With such a supermodel hero at his side, Chen Dongqing felt a surge of pride.

Smeb on the other side doesn't know how to play Fiora against Camille, but he has a lot of experience playing Camille against Fiora!

Chen Dongqing immediately brought Fervor of Battle and went up to fight Fiora. Once Fervor of Battle was fully stacked, he used his E skill to hang on the wall and kicked Smeb. With the attack speed bonus from his E skill, he attacked Smeb until he was low on health and had to go back to base!

Easily gain lane control at level one!

When Smeb teleported back online, Chen Dongqing was only at half health, but he was not flustered at all. He used W to harass and heal, and slowly recovered his health!

One life against two lives!

Smeb was sweating profusely from the beating. He really didn't know where this guy had practiced Camille!

It hasn't even been released on the official server yet!

Chen Dongqing quickly pushed the minion wave back into the tower, and when he left the tower again, he had a Sheen weapon in his hand.

The laning phase in the top lane has officially ended.

Chen Dongqing immediately traded blows upon logging in, reducing Fiora to half health. He then reached level six, used his E to bait Fiora's W, and used his R to dodge Fiora's W sword energy while keeping her in place. He then easily secured a solo kill with his Q skill's true damage double kick!

At this moment, the camera cuts to the bottom lane. Although Madlife is the god of support, he is now old and no longer has the ability of his peak.

The duo of Uzi and Tianye, both in their prime, cooperated exceptionally well, firmly securing their advantage in the bottom lane!

Bang struggled in the bot lane, repeatedly chuckling to himself, and began to miss Wolf's good play.

But his hard times had only just begun.

In the mid lane, Xiye played the new version of LeBlanc with wave clearing ability. He used Q skill spread + W to quickly clear a wave of minions and managed to steal lane priority from Faker. Then, on Uzi's advice, he and Clearlove went straight to the bottom lane!

After the minion wave pushed into the tower, Xiye and Clearlove appeared almost simultaneously and directly killed the enemy bottom laner under the tower!

game over!

At this point, the game entered QG's double carry phase!

As it turns out, QG's two star players would be absolute core players in any team.

Chen Dongqing didn't need any help in the top lane and directly solo-killed Smeb three times, managing to take the first tower by himself before Uzi could!

In the following matches, Camille made a strong presence, constantly catching opponents!

This hero's ganking ability is even stronger than Kled's. Chen Dongqing directly E'd in and used R to hold Faker in place, so that even if Faker had three legs, he couldn't escape [Hextech Ultimatum]!

The factory manager couldn't help but sigh when he saw his own top laner killing so fiercely.

A top laner who can dominate without needing help—if he joined EDG, they'd be winning championships hand and foot!

How could I have missed it?

After capturing the enemy, Camille became increasingly powerful and quickly acquired a Trinity Force and Ravenous Hydra set!

In the final team fight, Chen Dongqing used Q on the turret to charge up [Precise Etiquette], and then, the moment the true damage appeared, he used EW combo to kick Bang's EZ, followed by a true damage kick to pull him up and then use Greedy Initiative!

In just one exchange, Bang's blond-haired guy's health bar was instantly emptied!

This is where Iceborn Gauntlet Ezreal falls short: he only has armor and no health bar, but that armor is nothing compared to Camille!

With the AD carry instantly killed, the outcome of the team fight was a foregone conclusion, and the LPL team won easily!

The cheers from the audience almost exploded instantly. They never expected that Chen Dongqing would put on such an explosive performance the first time he pulled out the Camille!

In the commentary booth, the North American trio kept exclaiming "OMG!" and "Crazy!" They had never seen anything like it before!

"I'd always heard that Ilex never played League of Legends, but he was inexplicably good at it," commentator Spawn sighed. "I didn't believe it before, but now I do. Ilex is the god of League of Legends!"

At this point, the other three members of the LPL team were also convinced.

This is outrageous! You have to admit it!

Chen Dongqing remained calm and said, "Normally, normally."

They then quickly walked over to the LCK team and shook hands.

Smeb stared intently at Chen Dongqing, wishing he could poke the bastard to death with his gaze.

"Has your Camille been practiced before? Or is this your first time playing?" Smeb asked seriously.

If Chen Dongqing were to say at this moment that it was his first time playing, his Dao heart would immediately collapse.

Chen Dongqing said cheerfully, "I've practiced before."

Smeb breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Where did you practice? The test server?"

"No, that's not it. I practiced it in my past life."

"?"

December 12th, the last day of the All-Star Game.

There will be no main competition today, but the matches will still be quite exciting. In addition to the Assassin Mode and Clone Battle at the beginning, the top eight teams in the SOLO competition will also compete for the championship today.

In Assassin Mode, Faker gave the mid lane to Bjergsen and chose Kha'Zix in the jungle to face Jankos in a champion duel.

In this version, the Kha'Zix's ultimate ability grants it automatic invisibility when entering bushes. Combined with the active invisibility of its ultimate, it can even walk around the jungle undetected.

Furthermore, the true sight ward mechanism has been changed in this version, and now invisible units cannot be seen. This makes Kha'Zix an extremely threatening unit, and even professional players find it difficult to defend against!

Faker's individual skill is undeniable, so his record is naturally not bad. However, Jankos' Kha'Zix is ​​even better, dominating the entire game with a score of 15-4-11, showcasing the dominance of the new version of Kha'Zix to the world.

After Jankos finished his Blood Moon Kill, he didn't leave the stage but stayed to continue the next round.

Cloning Operations.

Chen Dongqing also took to the stage at this time, and his teammates were Peanut, Jankos, Bang, and Xiye.

On the other side are Clearlove, Levi, Impact, Maple, and xPeke.

When both sides entered the match room, messages kept popping up in the chat.

Since it's an exhibition match, both sides plan to choose the same hero.

"What game? What game?" Peanut typed in English, "Should we pick Camille?"

The ten people present all thought of Ilex Blue Steel Shadow's performance yesterday.

If they let me choose Camille, wouldn't that just give Ilex a free ride? That won't do!

But before they could refuse, Chen Dongqing started typing.

"No, no, no!" ICEilex's account immediately typed, "Let's play Lee Sin, ten Lee Sins would be so much fun!"

There were mostly junglers present, a total of four junglers, and seeing that they were going to play Lee Sin, they naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Come on!" Jankos readily agreed, "Let's see who's the best Lee Sin!"

When Peanut heard that he had to choose Lee Sin and saw Clearlove's ID on the opposing team, he thought of something happy.

The two sides even discussed skin selection. In the end, Chen Dongqing's team collectively chose Supreme Fist, while the opposing team collectively chose Underground Boxing King. The match started quickly!

"Ilex, you go top lane, Peanut, you jungle, I'll play mid!" Jankos did his duty as host, giving the jungle position to Peanut, and the game started quickly.

Chen Dongqing's opponent is Impact, the S3 champion top laner, nicknamed "Big Wood". This guy has now gone to Europe and America to make money and has made a fortune, but his skills have long since declined.

Furthermore, DaMu's proficiency with Lee Sin was clearly not as high as Chen Dongqing's, so the top lane matchup was still a one-sided affair.

Chen Dongqing wasn't thinking about getting a solo kill. After reaching level six, he pushed the lane in the top lane and then accompanied Peanut to invade the jungle.

And who is the opposing jungler? Without a doubt, it can only be Clearlove.

Peanut's hand speed is extremely fast. The moment he saw Clearlove, he touched the ward and used R-Flash to kick him back. Then, his Q skill hits smoothly.

Chen Dongqing glanced at the minimap and saw that Jankos' Lee Sin was also coming to support from the mid lane. He had a flash of inspiration, used a ward to adjust his position, and also used Dragon's Tail to hit the Lee Sin who was still in the air, and then followed up with a Q!

The poor factory manager hadn't even landed before he flew off in another direction!

Jankos's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Dongqing kick the Lee Sin, and he decisively used his Q [Sonic Wave]!

In that instant, the factory manager's Lee Sin had three [Sonic Wave] buffs applied.

Three blind monks simultaneously unleashed their [Echo Slam], delivering three consecutive kicks to the factory manager, killing him instantly!

The venue erupted in laughter, creating a lively atmosphere.

Even the factory manager himself was amused, and the director even gave him a close-up shot!

Meanwhile, in Chen Dongqing's team voice chat, the three players who had executed a perfect teamwork were celebrating loudly with glee.

Jankos was somewhat surprised and said, "Ilex, you're so good at Lee Sin too?"

Chen Dongqing grinned: "I'm proficient in all heroes, didn't you know? Your Lee Sin might not even be as good as mine!"

Do you even understand the value of the King of Glory's Damo?

"Really? I don't believe it!" Peanut looked incredulous. "You, Lee Sin, are so strong, how can you compare to me?"

Chen Dongqing thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll demonstrate a move later. If you can replicate it, then you'll be considered skilled, okay?"

"Come on!" Little Peanut accepted the challenge!

Two minutes later, Chen Dongqing unleashed a powerful move, and then immediately signaled to Peanut to move the camera over.

This time, not only Peanut, but all four teammates moved the camera over to watch Chen Dongqing play with his airplane.

As for his goal, it remains the factory manager.

Chen Dongqing's Lee Sin searched the jungle area and found the factory manager again.

The moment the factory manager saw Chen Dongqing, he immediately unleashed a [Sonic Wave], believing that this was his jungle and his teammates could provide support more quickly.

This Heavenly Sound Wave caused the Blind Monk to freeze for a moment.

It's now!

His [Heavenly Sound Wave] followed suit.

At that very moment, many people realized that something was wrong.

Is this Q crooked?

But Chen Dongqing deliberately missed.

The moment the Q skill was released, Chen Dongqing's Lee Sin seemed to transform into a golden light and arrived next to Clearlove. He kicked out, and Lee Sin was sent flying backward, precisely catching the Q skill that he had intentionally missed earlier!

Chen Dongqing's hand speed was explosive. After kicking out with R, he first threw a punch, followed by [Echo Strike], and then Tiamat's three-stage burst of AE, instantly emptying the Factory Manager's health bar!

"WTF!" Jankos exclaimed in the team voice chat, completely dumbfounded.

Can Lee Sin really be played like this?

Peanut was also completely stunned. Really?

Chen Dongqing grinned, casually accepting the factory manager's monster, before asking, "How's it going? Can you learn it?"

Meanwhile, the live stream chat in China was buzzing with excitement!

A voice involuntarily echoed in their minds.

So, while the Sonic Wave is gliding, use Flash W to get close to him, then use your ultimate to reposition yourself and knock him into the Sonic Wave's position, creating a triangle kill!

Holy crap! The Mascherano triangle attack!

[Is this the Ma-style Triangle Kill that even Grand Marshal himself couldn't execute?]

[I thought Grand Marshal was just talking nonsense, turns out he really is a fighter?]

Hahaha, that's outrageous!

That's talent!

The match continued, and after the clone match reached the mid-game, the factory manager, who had been kicked to death twice by Chen Dongqing, was clearly lagging behind in terms of equipment. All nine professional players were showing off their skills, while the factory manager was the only one being kicked around like a ball.

Peanut and Jankos were still diligently practicing the triangle kill, but no matter how skilled they were at Lee Sin, they couldn't just execute the triangle kill after watching it once. Instead, they were killed several times by the opponent because of their Flash-W combo, and the situation even became somewhat stagnant.

The audience seemed happy to see this, with many people flooding the screen with comments, making the match a truly entertaining spectacle.

In the final team fight, Chen Dongqing used a ward to enter the fray, and with a R-flash kick, knocked away three opponents. Peanut and Jankos, the two Holy Monks, quickly followed up, easily completing a 3v4 situation. They then secured the Baron and won the game in one fell swoop.

The factory manager was quite good at taking a joke, even when he lost the game he was still cheerful. Of course, what he didn't know was that his actions of being treated like a football had been turned into GIFs by domestic viewers and were spreading wildly on various forums.

At this moment, the bearded host quickly took to the stage and began shouting, leading the All-Star game into its final stage.

The SOLO tournament will determine the champion today!

In the center of the stage, a pedestal rises up, and a trophy comes into view.

Yes, the SOLO competition does have a trophy, but it's made of very poor quality and has a shiny plastic sheen.

First up is the quarterfinals, where Chen Dongqing will make his first appearance. His opponent is an old acquaintance, none other than Smeb, who has already transferred to KT!

Smeb knew he couldn't beat Chen Dongqing's Camille, so he quickly came up to communicate with Chen Dongqing and start a Riven internal battle!

Chen Dongqing was not intimidated at all and decisively accepted the challenge!

When it comes to skill, he never backs down!

The match started quickly, and both Riven players used their Q abilities almost simultaneously. Neither of them backed down and immediately started auto-attacking!

Both players had Thunderlord's Decree runes. They were down to half health when Smeb's Q skill was ready a couple of steps ahead, allowing him to activate Broken Wings first!

Chen Dongqing, however, was not intimidated at all and countered with a QA!

But this time he played a trick.

After the second Q, he didn't follow up with a basic attack, but instead unleashed a full three-hit Q! 22

Chen Dongqing's Riven Q skill is activated after the initial attack, but his three-part Q skill arrives first!

The broken sword slammed heavily to the ground, but Smeb's Riven had just jumped up when Chen Dongqing slammed his third Q into the ground!

Smeb was immediately alarmed; he knew he couldn't win this exchange.

But can he still escape?

They obviously can't escape.

Both Riven characters were weakened and low on health, with no means of escape.

Chen Dongqing swiftly raised his knife and slashed twice, easily securing the first kill!

The first game of the quarterfinals SOLO was decided in less than a minute!

Chen Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully I was one step ahead!

The two top laners shook hands on stage, and Smeb couldn't help but shake his head.

I lost again.

Then, Uzi quickly entered the fray, using Lucian to counter Levi's new version of LeBlanc.

Levi picking LeBlanc for a solo match was purely for fun; he didn't really intend to win, and Uzi won easily!

In the semifinals, Chen Dongqing took to the stage again. The competition has now evolved into a best-of-three series, and Chen Dongqing's opponent this time is Maple from the Bay Tigers.

Maple can be considered the best mid laner in the LMS, but his laning strength is clearly not as strong as Faker's.

With Lucian, Fiora, and Riven all banned, Chen Dongqing once again picked the classic Camille, catching Maple off guard. Camille's level 6 ultimate locked down the enemy, forcing a 1v1 and easily securing the first victory.

In the second game, with Camille banned, Chen Dongqing picked Fizz again, another unremarkable game of dominance. When Maple had 95 CS, he went all out to fight, but Chen Dongqing calmly handled the situation, decisively engaged in a fight, and ultimately won easily!

After losing two consecutive games, Chen Dongqing has become the first player to advance to the SOLO finals!

In the second half, the match between Uzi and xPeke was also very intense.

Uzi kept picking Lucian, Kalista, Varus, and Quinn, and xPeke, who played mages, was no match for him. He couldn't suppress xPeke, and Doran's Ring couldn't keep up with Doran's Blade's sustain. In the end, Uzi won 2-1 and advanced to the finals!

At this moment, the cheers from the audience gradually gained momentum, and the host also went on stage to welcome the two finalists back to the stage in a long, drawn-out tone!

Ilex and Uzi, two players from the same team, have successfully met in the finals!

As it turns out, the individual abilities of QG's two star players are indeed in a class of their own.

The other contestants in the audience couldn't help but shake their heads.

How did these two end up in the same group?

Before the match, Chen Dongqing was still discussing, "How about we both go all out and play one round first?"

"I'm not playing with you!" Uzi instantly saw through Chen Dongqing's trick: "If you pick Camille, won't my ADC get kicked stupid? Impossible!"

Chen Dongqing had no choice but to give up, and the two returned to their seats, and the first game began.

The bans for both sides were fixed. Chen Dongqing banned Caitlyn, Kalista, and Quinn, while Uzi banned Camille, Irelia, and Fizz. The latter two were picks that Chen Dongqing had used against other heroes, both of which were special against long-range heroes.

As for champions like Riven and Fiora, Uzi isn't afraid at all. He countered by picking Lucian. As long as Chen Dongqing dares to pick Fiora, Uzi is confident he can suppress him!

But Chen Dongqing doesn't play by the rules.

Once the game begins, the heroes will make their appearance.

Chen Dongqing chose Rengar!

Chen Dongqing wasn't really used to Rengar's Q in this version, but he understood the core gameplay of the champion.

In the Arctic SOLO mode, marksmen absolutely cannot beat Rengar!

This match was almost effortless. Chen Dongqing simply built up his rage, then jumped directly into Uzi's face, unleashed his full combo, and then retreated. He used his W ability to heal, making it impossible for Uzi to trade blows!

But can the Uzi press down on the knife? No, it can't.

Because he couldn't get close to the bushes, Uzi didn't dare to push too far. With both sides attacking and finishing off enemies simultaneously, Chen Dongqing firmly maintained the initiative!

Finally, Chen Dongqing returned to base at level six to replenish supplies, and with his ultimate ability, he dashed forward and once again brought Uzi to low health, finally gaining a last-hitting advantage.

At this point, Uzi finally started to get anxious after re-entering the game, trying to use his ultimate to whittle down Chen Dongqing's health. However, Chen Dongqing easily dodged Lucian's ultimate with a jump to a minion, then entered the bush, jumped up, and used his combo to take down half of Uzi's health.

Then, in the final showdown at 90 points, Chen Dongqing used the bushes to keep pulling and finally secured the kill with a fully-starred Frogstroke Q.

The three commentators in the North American commentary booth kept chattering and exclaiming in surprise.

The most distinctive feature of ilex is that he pulls off a lot of tricks, and they're very effective!

Who would have thought of this Rengar pick?

In the second game, Uzi had no choice but to let Irelia go and ban Rengar instead. To avoid being overwhelmed by Fizz, he picked AD Kennen to counter him this time.

But then, Chen Dongqing pulled out all the stops and directly selected Kalista!

In the bot lane laning ecosystem, there are several champions with top-tier laning abilities, and Kalista is one of the best among them!

Kennen can suppress most melee champions with the armor and stun from his E skill, but against Kalista, it's like a son beating his father!

Moreover, Chen Dongqing's proficiency with the skateboard is also quite high. Although he hasn't practiced this hero in the game, he can play it on his own.

With a proficiency level of 89, a skill level of 99, and extreme hero counterplay, Chen Dongqing easily pinned Uzi to the ground and beat him mercilessly.

Finally, at level seven, Chen Dongqing decisively dove the tower, using Ignite and Purify to instantly remove Exhaust, forcibly killing Uzigan under the tower.

Two to zero, game over!

Dry ice was sprayed out instantly, and there were even machines that shot out fireworks. Everyone witnessed the birth of the 2016 SoloKing!

Chen Dongqing took off his headphones and stood up, just in time to see Uz looking over. The two of them smiled happily and then walked to the center of the stage to hug.

"Awesome, Tree Bro." Uz was also impressed: "I really can't beat you."

Chen Dongqing's champion picks in the SOLO match were incredibly diverse: Fiora, Riven, Camille, Irelia, Fizz, Rengar, Kalista—he didn't repeat a single champion throughout the entire match, making it impossible for Chen to defend against.

"Luck, luck." Chen Dongqing patted his teammate on the back, and then the two parted ways.

At this moment, countless audience members below the stage spontaneously began chanting "ilex" as their ID.

"Go ahead." Uzi patted Chen Dongqing on the shoulder, then turned around to pack his peripherals.

Chen Dongqing stood in the center of the stage, holding the trophy high, and the cheers immediately rose to another level.

The All-Star Game has now concluded.

The 2016 League of Legends tournament has finally come to an end.

Next, all the players will be training hard and preparing for the S7 season in a little over a month!

I originally intended to finish it in one short chapter, but it turned out to be a bit longer than I expected, though the content should be sufficient.

See you tomorrow, brothers!
