League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 338 FMVP?

At the moment the EDG base exploded, the lights in the entire venue lit up almost simultaneously, and then began to dance rapidly in the field, filling the eyes of every spectator.

Above the players' bench, with a "smack" sound, golden rain poured down from the sky, bathing all the QG players in golden rain!

The cheers from the audience were almost deafening; Chen Dongqing could even feel himself being attacked by sound waves from all directions!

He excitedly took off his headphones and stood up, just in time to see that his teammates around him had also stood up, and everyone happily hugged each other!

Although the other four players, apart from Shi Senming, had won the Summer Championship more than once, this championship still excited them!

In the final game, none of them slacked off; everyone contributed significantly to the victory, and they swept EDG with an economic lead of over 10,000 in just over twenty minutes.

They thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of working together to overcome their opponent!

Inside the live stream, comments flooded in like snowflakes.

Wow, EDG really got crushed? QG didn't give them any face at all?

Didn't you hear what Brother Tree said at the start? He said 3-0, so it's 3-0! Any further would be impolite.

Uzi definitely had the highest damage output again this time; he's been number one in damage for three consecutive games, it was truly exhilarating!

[It's the Ardent Censer meta now, AD carries should be this strong, after all, he's the world's best ADC.]

At this moment, the three commentators were also discussing the matter at length.

Miller adjusted his glasses, calmed himself down, and said, "QG's championship represents so much!"

"First of all, after winning the championship, QG will become the first LPL team to successfully defend its Summer Split title."

"Furthermore, with this victory, they have now won four consecutive LPL championships since 2016, officially surpassing EDG's three titles to become the club with the most LPL championships! A veritable record!"

Upon hearing this, the cheers from the audience rose again, and QG's supporters all began to shout.

Amidst the surging cheers from the audience, the five QG players were also incredibly excited.

Shi Senming's voice boomed: "We are the champions!"

Uzi, grinning, boasted to Chen Dongqing, "So, how about it? Didn't I maximize my damage output in those last few team fights?"

"Awesome! Awesome!" Chen Dongqing gave a thumbs up and put his arm around Uzi's shoulder: "We're invincible!"

Standing in the center of the team, watching this scene, Godwin's heart was also filled with turmoil.

This isn't the first time he's won the Summer Split championship.

Back in 2015, he defeated EDG and went to Europe as the LPL's number one seed.

At the time, he was extremely confident, and even pulled off a brilliant move during a live stream by asking whether to choose Diana or Riven for the championship skin.

But the outcome that time was not good.

Internal and external troubles caused LGD to be eliminated in the round of 16.

But this time...

Godeway looked at the teammates around him.

This time, he won't choose the skin in advance.

But this doesn't mean he's lost his confidence. On the contrary, his confidence is even stronger than it was two years ago!

World Championship, I'm back.

There was also some commotion backstage as QG's coaching and management team stepped onto the stage. Linko stood at the front of the group, giving each QG player a thumbs-up: "Awesome, guys! You said 3-0, and you said 3-0, and you did!"

Linko's smile was absolutely radiant.

As the club's manager and investor, Linko pays close attention to data.

All he knew was that every time QG won a championship, the Qiaogu Business Alliance behind them would gain a huge amount of traffic.

To exaggerate a bit, it was a wave of traffic that they couldn't handle.

Every time they win a championship, they make a fortune, earning back a significant portion of their contract fees this year.

Taking into account the traffic generated by this summer's championship, they should be able to break even.

Every step from here on will be profitable!

Esports clubs usually operate at a loss to gain publicity. Clubs with annual contract fees of just over ten million rarely make a profit.

Esports clubs can only make money after the promotion and relegation matches are over; they can earn a lot just by selling slots then.

It's truly rare to find a company like QG that can maintain profitability despite annual expenditures exceeding 30 million.

Linko's gaze towards Chen Dongqing and Uzi both seemed to be eyeing them as potential cash cows.

Chen Dongqing chatted and joked with the two coaches for a while, and then led the team to shake hands with EDG.

Halfway there, he heard Wawa's voice again: "After winning the championship, QG will also compete in the 2017 League of Legends World Championship held in our own country as the LPL's number one seed, while EDG, who won the runner-up points, will be the second seed. I hope both teams can achieve good results in the World Championship!"

Hearing this, Chen Dongqing smiled and said to the factory manager in front of him, "Let's cheer each other on in the World Championship!"

The factory manager rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, let's work hard together."

Last year at the S6 World Championship, EDG was eliminated in the quarterfinals, but QG went all the way to the end and won the championship.

At that time, phrases like "QG fighting alone" and "LPL's heroes" emerged one after another.

But the person who said these things clearly didn't consider the feelings of EDG and Snake.

The factory manager felt very unhappy every time he heard such words.

Damn it, what can I do about losing to the runner-up ROX? If I had played against any other team, I might not have been eliminated in the first round!

But a loss is a loss, and the factory manager has no reason to argue. He can only hope to play well in S7 and strive to break through to the quarterfinals.

Chen Dongqing smiled and nodded, then walked up to A-Guang at the end.

"Sigh, you tricked me again," Ah Guang said with a sigh.

When he saw QG move Cho'Gath to the jungle position during the third game's draft phase, he knew that he was probably doomed again.

And the result was exactly as expected.

Being relentlessly chased and attacked in lane, and constantly being sucked up by the Troll's ultimate in team fights, being so fragile that you break at the slightest touch, it was a completely unpleasant experience.

Seriously? You guys are already this good? Do you really need to resort to these dirty drafting tricks?

You guys didn't already plan this to happen when you picked Olaf against Cho'Gath in the semifinals, did you?

Chen Dongqing was unaware of what A Guang was thinking, so he simply smiled and said, "I hope we'll have another chance to face each other in the World Championship."

Theoretically speaking, this can be considered a blessing from Chen Dongqing.

After all, according to the rules, if the two teams want to meet in the World Championship, they would have to go to the quarterfinals at the very least.

But upon hearing this, Ah Guang immediately shrank back and said sheepishly, "Let's just leave it at that."

Compared to facing QG in the knockout stage, A Guang would rather be eliminated as soon as possible.

What does this mean?

Regardless of everything else, Chen Dongqing said goodbye to A-Guang and quickly ran to the center of the stage.

At this moment, you can see that the Silver Dragon Cup is shining with a silvery-white light under the spotlight, and the silver dragon wrapped around the cup is lifelike.

Chen Dongqing walked to the Silver Dragon Cup and placed his right hand on the trophy.

Feeling the cool touch of the trophy, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but feel slightly nervous.

Although this wasn't his first time winning a championship, he still couldn't help but feel excited when he actually lifted the trophy.

All the QG members placed their hands on the trophy, and in perfect unison, they counted down three, two, one, and then together they lifted the trophy high!

In that instant, the cheers from the audience immediately rose to another level.

The large screen at the scene suddenly switched to display the official photos of the QG players.

In the picture, Chen Dongqing stands in the center of the team, with the other team members standing on both sides of him. Everyone looks united and determined.

Below the official photos is a list of all the championships LPL has won since its inception.

Since its establishment in 13: OMG, PE, EDG, EDG, EDG, LGD.

Then QG, QG, QG, QG!

16-17, four consecutive regional championships!

Every championship QG won after that was a new miracle.

After tidying up his mouse and keyboard, the factory manager turned around and stared at the scene, momentarily stunned.

This is the third time in the past two years that they have lost to QG in the finals.

If this team hadn't appeared, would EDG have been the ones breaking the record right now?

The factory manager couldn't help but clench his fists tighter around the keyboard.

Sometimes, he really had to admit that perhaps he was indeed getting old.

Beside him, the host Zhu Zhen, holding two microphones, brushed past him and strode onto the stage.

"Alright, let's all shout out the name of the 2017 LPL Summer Split champion!"

At that moment, a unified roar of cheers erupted from the audience!

"QG!"

"Let's congratulate QG once again!" Zhu Zhen said with a smile on his face. "Time flies, two years have passed in the blink of an eye, but this team is still standing on the podium! This is the best proof of their hard work and dedication!"

On stage, the QG team members, standing in a row, looked at each other and all smiled.

Hard work and sweat? Absolutely.

They worked very hard this summer to solve all sorts of problems.

To master Xayah and Rakan and better synergize with the Ardent Censer meta, Uzi would duo queue with Shi Senming almost every spare moment.

The same goes for Gao Dewei and Xiang Guo. In order to be worthy of their championship status, they are always on edge, which has almost become a team culture.

Thanks to this effort, the entire QG team has achieved a high ranking, consistently holding a top position in the Rift.

And don't think that the title of "Summit of the Rift" is low in prestige, because LPL's excellent performance in international competitions in recent years has long secured their position as the number one region.

It's no longer the era of Chinese players going to the Korean server to play ranked matches. Now, instead, many Koreans are coming to the Chinese server for thrills!

Of course, players like Faker, who have a bit of a Korean warrior vibe, didn't come.

In this context, Chen Dongqing's unwavering top position becomes all the more meaningful.

Speaking of hard work

His teammates couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Chen Dongqing.

To be fair, this guy worked pretty hard this summer.

Running three threads back and forth to climb the ranks every day is truly exhausting.

Zhu Zhen didn't waste any time and quickly moved forward with the award ceremony.

He first invited the hostess to the stage and handed the GG card, representing the 1.5 million yuan championship prize, to the QG members. Then, standing next to Chen Dongqing, he began to ask questions.

"Seeing QG win the championship again makes me truly happy," Zhu Zhen said excitedly from the side. "Then my first question will be for Ilex. How does he feel now that he's won another Silver Dragon Cup?"

Chen Dongqing answered without hesitation: "I'm very happy to lift my fourth league trophy. This summer, our team didn't have a smooth journey, but fortunately we got through it well without any major problems. But I believe that QG will definitely not stop here."

The fans in the audience quickly responded with enthusiastic applause.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing handed the microphone to Xiangguo, and Zhu Zhen continued to ask questions.

Zhu Zhen's question for Xiangguo was: "Judging from what Shu Ge said, your QG seems to have a lot of confidence in this World Championship?"

Upon hearing this, Xiangguo immediately scoffed and said, "World Championship? Probably not even as difficult as LPL! We'd just crush them!"

Upon hearing this, the audience erupted in cheers! This time, it wasn't just the audience; even the live stream chat was flooded with the same exclamation mark: "Crazy!"

Chen Dongqing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but purse his lips, but he quickly smiled again.

Being a little wild isn't a bad thing; just go for the abuse!

Zhu Zhen then gestured for Xiangguo to continue passing the microphone around and ask more questions.

After all five contestants had answered the questions, Zhu Zhen said mysteriously, "Now we come to the most important part!"

"Next, let's welcome Mr. Jin Yibo to the stage to announce the winner of the 2017 League of Legends Pro League Summer Split FMVP!"

Jin Yibo was still dressed the same as before, in jeans and a short-sleeved shirt, looking very casual. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the envelope in his hand.

It has to be said that the FMVP this year is quite a surprise.

Although Chen Dongqing won the MVP in the first two games, it must be said that Uzi performed exceptionally well in every game and was not far behind.

In the final game, Uzi used a four-protect-one strategy to push EDG to victory, making him arguably the biggest contributor to the championship win!

In that case...

Chen Dongqing glanced at Uzbekistan.

Meanwhile, Uzbekistan was also looking at Chen Dongqing.

The two looked at each other and chuckled.

Mr. Jin opened the envelope in his hand and saw the answer.

A hint of surprise flashed across Jin's face before he shouted into the microphone, "The winner of the 2017 LPL Summer Split FMVP is QG.Uzi! Congratulations!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers immediately erupted from the audience, and the camera quickly focused on the QG players' bench.

A look of surprise crossed Uzbekiss's face, but he quickly smiled and took a big step forward to the center of the stage.

The big screen at the venue displayed his statistics for these three games.

G1：7-0-6的KD，31%的伤害占比，对位领先+4369

G2：6-2-7的KD，43%的伤害占比，对位领先+3496

G3：8-0-4的KD，36%的伤害占比，对位经济领先+3953

In all three games, they dealt the most damage, and thanks to their terrifying farming ability, the economic difference in each game was also ridiculously large!

Based on the data, Uzi certainly deserves this FMVP award.

[Wow, wow, the damage share across the three rounds is a whopping 110%! What kind of damage king is this?!]

[The main problem is that the puppy's output environment is too good. Every game, the tree is a big tank in front, and nobody cares about him.]

[This is ridiculous. Riot Games keeps nerfing top laners and buffing bot lanes, but I don't think it's working. The world's best ADC is still with QG, isn't he?]

The puppy was laughing so hard it was numb; it was inexplicably getting boosted all the time.

Amid cheers from the audience, Uz raised the microphone and began his acceptance speech:

"To be honest, I was quite surprised when I heard that I was the FMVP. In my opinion, I was able to perform so well entirely because my teammates created such a good output environment for me. The first people I want to thank for winning this trophy are my teammates."

"This trophy also brings me a sense of responsibility, because I understand very well that the current meta is bot lane-centric, and when we get to Worlds, as the ADC, I should shoulder a greater responsibility."

"In the upcoming S7, I will definitely give it my all and, together with my teammates, lift that championship trophy again!"

Is it okay to give the Incense Burner version of Uzi an FMVP award?

Next, I'll write about the qualifying matches, then I'll do a short livestream of my daily life, and then we'll be heading into the World Championship.

PS: To be fair, if you ignore the top lane, TES is actually a pretty good team. Their last game against BLG was truly a back-and-forth affair, with both teams showcasing their full potential.
