League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 314 Yes, this is the Shadow of Blue Steel.

It's not impossible for a world champion to go 0-16 in ranked matches.

Before Chen Dongqing's time travel, YYF had already picked Beastmaster in a ranked match and fed the enemy team terribly, racking up a 0-16 score in 25 minutes, leaving countless viewers in the live stream in awe.

Because the novel "The Snow Sword" was very popular at the time, the line "Li Chungang re-entered the realm of the terrestrial immortal" became quite popular, leading many readers to refer to his 0-16 record as the Beast King Realm.

Now, perhaps due to the convergence of timelines or the workings of fate, Chen Dongqing has brought the Beast King realm to the world ahead of schedule through a series of maneuvers.

However, this title is still late but it has arrived.

The chat in YYF's live stream exploded instantly.

[A Beastmaster level of 0-16, wow, what kind of level is that?]

[I would call this the Beast King Realm, a realm that ordinary people can never reach in their entire lives!]

[Terrifying!]

The comments section was filled with laughter and cheers, it was quite lively!

Meanwhile, our protagonist YYF remained completely silent, his temperature practically exploding with rage.

He knew that he was most likely going to be branded with shame.

Meanwhile, the instigator of our Beast King realm finally completed his placement match and saw his final score.

5751 points.

In League of Legends terms, this means you've been placed directly into the Master tier in your placement matches, and you're just a stone's throw away from Challenger.

The DOTA2 players in Chen Dongqing's live stream were quite shocked to see this result.

To be honest, this was the first time they had ever seen such a high placement score.

Logically speaking, setting a score of 2,000 is normal, setting it to 3,000 is considered expert level, and setting it to 4,000 is considered the absolute best.

That's 5700 points.

The only word to describe it is "extremely rip-off". (I've looked it up; back then, some expert players would set their fish at 5300, while the main character would set it at 5700 in the Ganges.)

Chen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "It's alright, but it's a bit lower than I expected."

The audience did not deny these statements.

Compared to YYF, who can rank close to 7,000 points, this 5700 is indeed relatively low.

Seeing that the task was completed, Chen Dongqing turned off the live stream.

I played ten ranked games tonight. Although each game was short, it was still a bit too intense.

Chen Dongqing waved goodbye to the audience, then shut down his computer and planned to go back to his dormitory to sleep.

At the same time, the other QG players also stood up one after another, preparing to turn off the lights in the training room and leave together.

Uzi's rankings had already ended, and he was standing behind Xiangguo's chair watching.

Uzi seemed to have noticed something and exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, you've turned on a beauty filter?"

Xiangguo immediately turned around: "It's not open!"

"You haven't even turned it on yet, but you must have already turned on a beauty filter!"

Xiangguo immediately shut down the live stream and yelled, "Jian Zihao, don't talk nonsense!"

"Isn't this the truth? Why would I make things up?"

Chen Dongqing watched this scene with a smile, walked past the two of them, and headed towards his room.

Halfway there, Chen Dongqing seemed to remember something, quickly took out his phone, opened Douyu, and entered YYF's live stream room.

YYF is supposed to be the top player in the knife-wielding section, so it's really disrespectful of him to be killed like this.

Let's send a rocket as compensation.

But as soon as I entered the live stream, I heard Brother Feng stubbornly arguing.

"Oops, the enemy team just targeted me. I didn't play well this game, and I got a bit anxious after getting killed a few times. Otherwise, we would have had a very good chance this game."

"If I ever run into him again, I'll definitely beat him!"

Chen Dongqing's hand, which was lighting a hot pot, suddenly stopped.

OK, I'll save this super hot item for next time.

Chen Dongqing put down her phone, took a shower, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep five seconds later.

While he was sleeping, the internet was once again in an uproar.

Just like Chen Dongqing's solo crushing of Luwei last time, this time the news of his 5751 rating and his 0-16 score against YYF quickly spread throughout the DOTA2 community.

The next morning, as soon as Chen Dongqing woke up, he saw countless messages on WeChat.

It was coming from the reeds; the reeds were giving Chen Dongqing a soul-searching question.

How did you manage to get such a high score?

When did you learn to be a "street thief"?

Lu Wei was quite puzzled by Chen Dongqing's score of 5700.

He only has a little over 5,000 points, but Chen Dongqing managed to slightly outperform him just by using his positioning skills. Can you believe it?

Chen Dongqing thought for a moment and replied: 【Anyone with hands can do it】

reed:【?】

Chen Dongqing then looked at the next message.

The second one was Linko, who sent a series of screenshots.

The first image is a Bilibili video.

The video's title is: [The God of Esports! Tree Bro crushes former DOTA2 world champion 0-16, placing him in a perfect 5751 position!]

The second screenshot is the senior brother's Twitter account.

[Oh, I declare that from today onwards, I am officially a fan of ilex. His performance has completely won me over; he truly deserves the title of esports god!]

After taking the screenshot, Linko posted a question mark.

It's like saying: Dude, what are you up to now? Are you really planning to go to DOTA2 and get a gold medal?

Chen Dongqing: [Well, I can't help it, I don't know either.]

After replying to the messages, Chen Dongqing scrolled down and actually saw a message from Douyu CEO Chen Shaojie, who was asking Chen Dongqing about the big commotion last night.

When Chen Dongqing previously dominated Luwei, it could be said that Luwei was weak, as he only had a score of around 5,000, which doesn't represent DOTA2.

Now that former world champions have been defeated, you can't say that former world champions don't represent DOTA2, can you?

The fermentation that night clearly exploded.

Chen Dong added this CEO on WeChat when he was young.

Clearly, Mr. Chen was also unwilling to see his two top streamers cause such a big controversy and hoped to defuse the situation.

Chen Dongqing and YYF didn't have any particular rivalry; it was just a regular ranked match, so he chatted a bit with President Chen.

In that case, you two should just stop replying and continue with your lives as usual. This whole thing will blow over in a while.

【OK】Chen Dongqing agreed quite readily, because that was exactly what he had originally thought.

After replying to the message, Chen Dongqing finally glanced at the forum.

There is no doubt that they are currently riding high on the wave of popularity. The Anti-Japanese Bar is practically in a frenzy right now, with countless people discussing yesterday's match.

[I don't play Dota 2, can someone knowledgeable explain the significance of Tree's performance in this match?]

For example, Tree played ADC and completely crushed S3 champion AD Piglet, leaving him with a 0-16 record.

Holy crap, that's incredible!

OK, simple and easy to understand.

[How long has Brother Tree been playing? Only a month? How come he's suddenly become so amazing?]

"You're not used to it yet? This guy's like this in every game."

【really】

Chen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the reactions on the forum.

Not bad, the comments from the forum members are still so insightful.

Chen Dongqing thought for a moment, then left the Anti-Pressure Bar and, taking another turn, went straight to the DOTA2 Bar next door.

As soon as Chen Dongqing entered, he felt as if a giant wave had crashed directly onto his face.

DOTA also has its own year-end finals, called The International (TI) for DOTA2, which is usually held from early to mid-August each year. In fact, we are now in the countdown of half a month.

However, at this time, there was no discussion about the competition in the forum; it was all about flame wars between various groups!

But I have to say, this guy's talent is truly outrageous. Could we bring him over to play Dota 2?

Indeed, such a promising talent is being wasted on League of Legends.

[Waste? He's a world champion, the number one player in LOL, why would he want to play professionally in your game?]

[Feng Ge is down, waaaaaah, Dao Silin is homeless.]

Finally, this is a level 1 account, clearly sent by someone from the League of Legends side to taunt.

Compared to the thriving Anti-Japanese War forum, the Knife forum was a scene of utter chaos and bloodshed, filled with all sorts of trolls, haters, and idiots—a mixed bag with an unreadable composition.

After thinking it over, Chen Dongqing decided to stir up a big controversy.

He raised his finger and started posting: [Prophecy post: Tree Bro will reach the top of the DOTA2 Chinese server within a month]

As soon as the post was published, Chen Dongqing put away his phone, planning to get up, wash up, and have breakfast, letting things play out a bit more.

It was late July, and the intense, scorching sun beat down on the sea, creating an almost unbearably hot and humid atmosphere in Shanghai. Feeling the heat, Chen Dongqing went to a small shop next to the base to buy a savory pancake and a cup of soy milk, and then hurried back to the base.

After sitting in the air-conditioned training room for a while, Chen Dongqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the power button on the computer, used his left hand to stick a skewer into a savory pancake and put it in his mouth, and with his right hand he couldn't wait to open the forum.

Although Chen Dongqing's post had only been published for twenty minutes, when he checked the backend, he found that it already had 99+ comments!

Chen Dongqing was immediately startled.

Setting the pace is indeed the most effective way to gain experience points.

As soon as he entered, he saw countless people attacking him.

[This dog is really dreaming! I'll see how high his Ilex score goes!]

[Ilex's only specialty is the Arc Warden; if high-elo players ban Arc Wardens, how will he play?]

Ultimately, Feng Ge is getting old, so there's nothing to brag about inflicting pain on him.

【What, Ilex wants to be number one in DOTA2, StarCraft, and LOL on three servers?】

Of course, this post also attracted a lot of friendly forces. Everyone, regardless of the consequences, supported their own people first and voiced their support in the comments.

Of course, they didn't think Chen Dongqing could reach the top either, feeling it was unrealistic.

As Chen Dongqing scrolled through the posts, his mouth watered, and the aroma of the savory pancakes seemed to intensify.

After finishing the pancake, Chen Dongqing turned off the computer and entered his battle mode for the day!

Since none of you believe I can reach the top, I'll show you!

So you think I only know how to stomp on newbies? So you think I'm a one-trick pony?

Hehe, today I'll really show you what's what!

After saying that, Chen Dongqing first started a live stream to pass the time, and then logged into LOL and StarCraft to take a look.

In StarCraft, Rouge seems to have lost his will to succeed, as his ranking has been quite poor these past two days, dropping him to third place.

The infighting among the remaining positions has actually solidified Chen Dongqing's position as number one, and there's no need to worry about it in the short term.

Meanwhile, on the League of Legends side, Chen Dongqing took a closer look and discovered that Doinb, the curvy guy, had also logged in and was currently playing ranked games.

Without saying a word, Chen Dongqing immediately entered the ranked match and launched a sniping attack!

Ten minutes later, the match began.

When Chen Dongqing saw that Doinb wasn't on his side, he immediately felt half relieved.

After the hero banning phase, Chen Dongqing saw that the opposing team had banned Fiora, and he knew that Doinb also knew that he was on the opposing team.

Without a word, Chen Dongqing locked onto Jayce, ready to unleash a carnage, when his own player on the first floor instantly locked onto Galio and typed, "Tree Bro, wanna play Camille?"

Upon seeing the ID, Chen Dongqing recognized it as Xi Ye and immediately typed: "Let's play."

Xi Ye immediately replied: "GO".

On the first and second floors, Camille and Galio locked onto each other at lightning speed!

After entering the game, Chen Dongqing understood the key point of this match. He was facing a high-ranking player in the top lane, who seemed to be a streamer, but Chen Dongqing couldn't quite recognize him.

But it's not a big problem. Although Camille is weak in the laning phase, Chen Dongqing can barely hold on with his own skills, and even has a slight advantage.

Once he reached level six, Chen Dongqing headed straight for the middle lane!

With Camille and Galio's unstoppable combo, they easily killed Doinb under the tower!

And that's not all.

After killing the enemy, Xiye leveled up to level seven, gained level four Q skill, and secured control of the mid lane.

After Galio pushed the lane, he went to the top lane and used a W-flash combo to help Chen Dongqing successfully gank and kill the enemy top laner.

With Chen Dongqing leading 2-0, the economy is developing rapidly.

Nine minutes in, Camille used her E-Flash combo to secure another solo kill in the top lane and then pushed down the first turret!

Watching the top laner roam freely, seemingly flying through the air, Xiye in the mid lane couldn't help but sigh, "Having such a carry-type top laner on the team is truly reassuring."

Ten minutes later, Chen Dongqing ganked again, Camille used EWR to lock down the enemy, and Galio stepped up to take down Doinb once more!

As Camille reached 4-0, she pushed down the mid-lane tower, further boosting her gold income!

Next up was Camille's reign.

Chen Dongqing didn't participate in team fights; he just kept pushing down the side lanes. He could kill one enemy, fight two, and run away from three. He was impossible to stop!

At 25 minutes, Chen Dongqing had three items in hand. He first took on two opponents and killed the enemy's top and jungle players, but he also ended up with low health.

Just then, Doinb's Viktor suddenly appeared from the side!

Chen Dongqing was not afraid at all. Camille retreated first and waited for two seconds of cooldown before taking the initiative to hang on the wall and kick Viktor!

Doinb dared not relax. The moment he threw a Q skill at Camille, he flashed away!

But Chen Dongqing reacted quickly, Camille flashed after Viktor and forcefully kicked him to stun him. Then, she used her passive magic shield from her auto-attack followed by her Q to negate the second part of Viktor's Q skill!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing used W to sweep her leg while retreating, managing to dodge Viktor's next laser by using her Q skill to accelerate her movement. Then, she used W to sweep her leg to slow him down, and Camille walked up, auto-attacked, followed by Tiamat, and then kicked Viktor to the ground!

In that instant, countless question marks appeared around Camille, and her four teammates were all extremely shocked by Chen Dongqing's low-health comeback.

This wave is called "Four Little Ones Observing Their Father".

Meanwhile, Doinb, watching Camille clear waves and heal, was both amused and exasperated. He clapped loudly and exclaimed, "That's right, this is Camille! Her passive has a shield, her Q has a speed boost and true damage, her W has healing and a slow, her E has a dash and a stun, her ultimate has a dash and invulnerability, and the cooldowns are incredibly short! And her E skill's dash is just... ahhhhhh!"

Amidst a barrage of laughter in the chat, Doinb finally couldn't take it anymore and decisively initiated a surrender with /FF. His four teammates didn't hesitate and immediately agreed!

With one side at -20 and the other at +20, Doinb is getting further and further away from being the best in the Rift.

Chen Dongqing grinned when he saw this.

With our first-place position secured, it's time to make the necessary changes!

Chen Dongqing quickly started playing DOTA2 and then happily entered ranked mode.

Although a score of over 5,000 is already considered high, it's not much for him now.

After Chen Dongqing entered, he still instantly locked onto the electric dog, and then contributed another quick push and kill game.

After winning, I checked my score and it had increased from 5751 to 5821.

He scored 70 points in one go.

The ranking system in DOTA2 is quite simple: win a game and get +25, lose a game and get -25. It's pretty fair. If you want to rank up, you have to increase your win rate.

This scoring system can be seen as another testament to the game genre.

League of Legends is a team-oriented game, so it's difficult to win against five opponents at once. To avoid being negatively impacted by teammates, you can gradually increase your score by winning one game and losing one game. Of course, this doesn't apply to accounts that are specifically designed to boost their score.

But DOTA2, a game with a strong emphasis on individual heroism, is different. If you're strong enough, you can ignore your teammates and forcefully slaughter them. There are even players who can win against five opponents when all four teammates have retreated.

Therefore, in this situation, the conditions for ranking up need to be stricter.

Even more extreme, in games like StarCraft, which are extremely individualistic, you need to maintain an 80% win rate to climb the ranks.

Of course, there are exceptions to DOTA2's ranking system, such as Chen Dongqing's 70-point boosting mode.

When your performance in ranked matches is so outrageous that the system determines you don't belong in that rank, it will automatically increase your points, allowing you to quickly rise to your proper rank.

The ranking ended with 5751, and it even triggered a score jump, which indirectly proves how strong Chen Dongqing's ranked performance was.

This was obviously good news for Chen Dongqing. He continued to rank up and won one after another. With three consecutive +70 games, he directly pushed his score to 6031 points.

In League of Legends terms, this means officially advancing to the Challenger tier.

At this moment, the audience all sighed in amazement.

But how long has Chen Dongqing been playing this game?

It seems like it's been less than a month, right?

But before they could even savor the moment, Chen Dongqing waved goodbye to the audience and abruptly shut down the app.

It was already noon, and the aunties at the base had prepared the meal.

The QG team had lunch and then watched the match together at the team's base.

Today is their rest day, but the LPL matches are still going on.

Today is also a crucial day.

EDG finally made their appearance to face WE.

The two teams currently have the same points. Whoever wins the match will join QG in first place in the regular season.

The QG players weren't in a hurry; they weren't under any pressure regardless of which team won.

This match was a fierce battle of three games. In the third game, at the 52-minute mark, in a super late-game team fight, EDG finally broke the deadlock and won the game thanks to Clearlove's deadly initiation and the team's instant elimination of Xiye!

"Alright, let's congratulate EDG! After three fierce battles, they finally defeated WE 2-1, bringing their overall score to 9-1, the same as QG! They're now tied for first place in the regular season!"

QG hadn't even secured their first-place position in the regular season before being overtaken by others.

But the QG players remained unhurried.

If they catch up, they can just fight their way back.

In the third round of the regular season, EDG should just wait and see!
