League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 340 Our QG is Always the Champion

October 5th, around noon.

Chen Dongqing followed the group to Wukesong again.

Today, after the third seed was decided, they had to immediately hold their send-off ceremony.

So QG needs to come over for rehearsals first.

During the rehearsal, in addition to QG and EDG, who have already secured their spots in the next round, players from FPX and WE will also participate, and both will be rehearsing as the third seeds.

However, there can only be one third seed, so once the results of the afternoon matches are announced, one team will inevitably have worked for nothing.

Chen Dongqing turned his head to look at the two teams standing together, and he could sense a hint of tension.

For both teams, this best-of-five series is more important than any other match this year!

After the rehearsal was repeated twice, the QG and EDG players could lie down in the rest room and wait, while the FPX and WE players left in a hurry, their faces quite solemn, as they still needed to make final preparations.

As he left, Chen Dongqing mingled with the FPX players and whispered, "Brothers, stay calm in today's match, we're in the bag!"

Among the team, Doinb and Liu Qingsong felt their tension ease considerably upon hearing that familiar voice.

Yeah, our team has a powerful figure in it, we're scared.

We have a great-grandfather!

"What are you doing here?" Doinb asked, glancing sideways. "Eavesdropping on our tactics, so you can snipe us at Worlds, right?"

Chen Dongqing grinned and chuckled, "Could you wait until we get to the World Championship before saying that? You guys seem to have never beaten WE before, have you?"

These words clearly touched a nerve with the FPX members, and their expressions immediately became much more serious.

There's no way around it; with WE defeating them five times this year, it's really hard for them to be optimistic.

Many people now jokingly refer to WE as Luofengpo, highlighting the suppression of bloodlines.

Chen Dongqing followed the FPX team to the entrance of the lounge; their QG lounge was right next door.

"Keep it up," Chen Dongqing said finally. "If WE can't even get past this, what are we talking about for the World Championship? This team is just so-so. If they play seriously, they'll be easily crushed."

Upon hearing this, the FPX members all sighed slightly, unsure of what to say.

If WE had really been able to easily crush them, they wouldn't have been captured five times.

Of course, they can't afford to lose in verbal sparring.

"You don't really think we can't beat WE, do you?" Lin Weixiang shouted from the sidelines. "Just you wait, WE, EDG, QG, we'll get our revenge on each of them one by one!"

After saying that, the FPX team returned to the rest room, seemingly to discuss their draft strategy for the first game.

Chen Dongqing shook his head and returned to QG's rest room.

By this time, everyone had already ordered KFC and was ready to enjoy this comfortable afternoon.

Chen Dongqing put on gloves, picked up a piece of Original Recipe Chicken, and had just sat down when he heard Linko say from the side, "The documentary about winning the championship has been uploaded. You guys should all go on Weibo and repost it to boost the buzz."

Chen Dongqing was somewhat surprised to hear this: "It's only been two days since they won the championship, how come they've edited it so quickly?"

Linko chuckled and said, "We expected to win the championship a long time ago, so we've been preparing for it for a while. Didn't we ask you guys to record something before? These past two days we've just edited in some dressing room footage and microphone recordings from the finals. It's no trouble at all."

Even so, the speed at which the championship club was launched just two days after winning the title is so impressive that even Chen Dongqing would have to admit it's professional.

No wonder QG Club is profitable; their operational capabilities are unmatched by any other team.

Chen Dongqing immediately logged into Weibo, reposted the video with three thumbs-up emojis, and then switched to Bilibili to open the video of the same name.

After the opening credits, the screen goes black for two seconds before starting the main feature.

In the video, the atmosphere in QG's rest room is quite tense. Uzi is sitting at the front, his face flushed.

"We can't win in lane, we can't win in team fights! We're just relying on individual skill to play the game, how are we supposed to win like this?"

Uzi's voice was filled with sighs: "The lineup in the third game, I didn't know how we were going to win! I really wanted to say something after the pick, but I didn't. That's just how the lineups are, I guess."

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing scratched his head.

When has QG ever had such a tense atmosphere? He doesn't remember it.

The camera then slowly pans across the surroundings.

Until I saw 369 in the video, he wasn't being stubborn or rebellious at all. He honestly admitted some of his mistakes in the lounge.

Chen Dongqing immediately understood.

This was during the summer regular season when they lost to EDG; he wasn't there at the time.

At this point, the scene switches to an interview clip.

In the video, Uzi is sitting happily in a small dark room, saying to the camera: "Because QG rarely loses games, but we lost that day, and it was to EDG, so I was quite anxious and said those things. But as it turns out, that defeat was actually good for us. That game made me see myself clearly."

When Uzi lost to EDG, he exposed his huge weakness of not knowing how to play Xayah. After being spurred on, Uzi practiced with Shi Senming for a long time and finally mastered the champion.

Nowadays, Xia (a type of stunt) is considered one of his specialties.

Then, 369's face appeared on the screen, and he said cheerfully, "After losing that match, I realized my shortcomings. After all, if Brother Shu had been there, we definitely wouldn't have lost. So I felt really guilty and practiced for a long time afterward."

At this point, it can be seen that the comments in the video are exceptionally lenient towards 369.

[I have to say, 369 is a really good prospect. When he was playing in the competition, I felt that he was in no way inferior to A Guang.]

Indeed, I remember 369 dominated A-Guang for three games that day?

[This just goes to show the influence of Brother Shu. I had heard before that QG's youth training camp was overflowing with top laners, and this 369 stood out from a huge pool of youth trainees.]

The documentary was still playing at this time.

Next, it was Chen Dongqing's triumphant return to the team, leading QG to an undefeated record and a place in the playoffs.

During this period, QG actually produced quite a few good plays.

For example, "What does Camille's weakness have to do with me?", and the team's silence for half a minute after Chen Dongqing's Renekton got a triple kill in a desperate situation.

The joyful atmosphere of the procession was completely different from the opening Bible passage.

Immediately afterwards, the documentary's tone began to rise.

FPXEDG

There was no match for QG; they swept them cleanly and decisively with two 3-0 victories!

Xiangguo appeared on screen, smiling, and said, "Actually, after the regular season, I pretty much knew that we would be champions again!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing appeared: "Of course, our QG team is always the champion."

In the end, the image of QG's five players lifting the trophy was shown at the end.

At this moment, the number of comments on the screen also reached a peak.

P, the young player, likes to fill the screen with cool lines, and Chen Dongqing's final line, "We are always the champions," is no exception.

Various kinds of bullet comments, flowing bullet comments, and colorful bullet comments filled the entire screen!

After reading it, Chen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad!"

This documentary completely portrays him as a savior.

QG went from losing to EDG to winning the championship with just one person.

Just like his appearance in 2016.

Chen Dongqing really liked this feeling of pretending to be superior.

Chen Dongqing turned off his phone, got up and grabbed a Coke and two egg tarts, then turned the screen back onto the TV in the lounge.

The match between the two sides is still very close in the video.

WE performed strongly as always, taking the lead in this BO5 series and gaining an early advantage.

FPX then followed suit, using their exceptional mid-lane utility champion playstyle to create a huge advantage in the early game!

Immediately afterwards, Lin Weixiang took over the mantle and started pushing towers like crazy!

This is the classic QG strategy, relying on a crazy early-game lineup to create a huge advantage in about 20 minutes!

Of course, correspondingly, this lineup will become weak if the game drags on to the late game.

Fortunately, FPX's rhythm in this game was quite perfect.

At 28 minutes, with a lead of 8,000 gold in a team fight around the Baron, FPX achieved a devastating 3-for-5 exchange. In the end, Lin Weixiang and Clid survived and destroyed WE's base in one fell swoop!

In the third game, WE took advantage of their side selection advantage to win the crucial match.

FPX, not to be outdone, immediately won the fourth game!

The two sides continued to fight back and forth like this, and the match quickly reached the fifth game!

Chen Dongqing frowned slightly as he watched this scene.

At this point, the pattern reappeared.

In the first four games, the red side won all of them.

In other words, the side that has the right to choose sides won four consecutive games.

But in the fifth game, the right to choose sides returned to WE's side.

Looking at this scene, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but rub his chin.

Now the qualification situation is simple.

Once FPX overcomes the challenge of WE's side selection strategy, a bright future awaits them.

Of course, this is not easy.

Before long, the battle anthem began, and after a round of ban/pick, the fifth game finally started.

Everyone eagerly awaited the start of the final match.

Just then, Uz seemed to get restless and got up to stretch: "Damn, I've been sitting on the sofa all afternoon, my back is killing me. Can you hurry up?"

The match started at 4 PM, and all five games were quite long. By the time the games were finished, it was almost 9 PM.

Even though I ate KFC earlier, I'm feeling a little hungry again right now.

Chen Dongqing lay on the sofa, looking helplessly at the scene before him.

He just hopes Doinb can step up and help WE push quickly.

Fortunately, Doinb seemed to have heard his good friend's voice, and his pace in this game was quite fast.

Five minutes into the game, Doinb, in collaboration with Clid, successfully used Flash to secure the first blood for Xiye.

Immediately afterwards, Doinb's Galio used his ultimate to gank bot lane and then teleported to save bot lane, successfully expanding his influence across the entire map and taking control of the game!

For a time, FPX had an overwhelming advantage!

On the other side, WE wasn't idle either. Doinb may be fast, but there are always weaknesses.

Taking advantage of Doinb's recall in the top lane before he could even set off, Xiye in the mid lane also made his move.

Xiye's plane took the initiative this time. The plane picked up the bomb pack at eight minutes and found Clid in the jungle with the help of the jungler. The two decisively flashed to get a double kill!

Immediately afterwards, Xiye, together with Condi, put pressure on the bottom lane, directly blocking the path for Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong to go up, helping Dajizi's Tristana take down the bottom lane tower!

The two sides traded blows, and after ten minutes, neither side had gained the upper hand, making the situation extremely tense.

This stalemate lasted for thirty minutes.

Although FPX still had a 3,000 gold lead at this point, the double marksman combination of Corki and Tristana on WE's side had begun to show its power, and the pressure on FPX gradually increased.

If the match continues to drag on, the situation will gradually tilt in WE's favor!

There was no other way for FPX but to force a team fight!

On FPX's side, Clid, playing Lee Sin, attempted to force his way into the fight, but to no avail. Instead, he used his Flash and ultimate to escape with low health!

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

Xi Ye, carrying a bomb, seemed to be possessed by some evil spirit. Seeing Clid's Lee Sin with low health, he used his W [Special Delivery] to charge in!

This is truly a special delivery service.

Clid had already retreated to the back of the team, completely safe. On the contrary, after Xiye flew into the crowd with his W, he was instantly mocked by Doinb!

Even though Xi Ye purified and deactivated the spell very quickly, that moment of stunned silence was enough to sentence him to death!

As soon as the plane entered the field, it simply pressed the Purify button, and its health bar was instantly emptied!

"Holy crap!" Chen Dongqing jumped to his feet, staring intently at the scene before him, and shouted, "Someone delivered it!"

After the most crucial plane crashed, it was as if a load-bearing wall of WE had been demolished, and the entire building began to sway precariously!

FPX pressed on with renewed vigor, launching a fierce counterattack!

WE was beaten so badly they scattered and fled in all directions!

At that moment, Clid's low-health Lee Sin recklessly used his Q to dash in!

The temptation of the low-health Lee Sin made the WE team pause for a second before finishing him off.

Galio seized the opportunity to unleash his ultimate skill, which then crashed down, knocking the remaining four members of WE into the air at the edge of the skill's range!

Lin Weixiang took on the role of the finisher, with Varus attacking from both sides, wiping out all of WE's players!

"ACE!"

The sound of a team wipe echoed throughout the arena. Even sitting backstage, Chen Dongqing could clearly hear Guan Zeyuan's excited shout: "Team wipe! It's over! FPX can finish this in one fell swoop!"

Beside him, Ji Jing excitedly screamed, "Nobody expected WE to make such a critical mistake at such a crucial moment! They've squandered thirty minutes of hard work!"

Congratulations to FPX for winning the last LPL ticket to the World Championship!

At this moment, Doinb has taken off his headphones, kicked the gaming chair behind him, and yelled to the sky!

This posture is just like when he won against ROX at Staples Center last year.

This match was extremely important to him!

So what if WE defeated FPX five times? So what if they fell to Luofengpo?

If FPX wins this final BO5, we will still be one of the teams that will stand until the end!
