League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 410 Uzi's Kai'Sa is unreliable, not as reliable as Ezreal!

QG's matches are always something that all teams need to study carefully.

This match was no exception.

At this moment, all the major teams, both domestic and international, are focusing their attention on this match.

Everyone also witnessed the vampire's absurdly fast development speed in this match.

No need to interact with the opponent, no need to push towers, farm jungle camps, roam, or fight; just by last-hitting minions, can you get 5000 gold in 13 minutes?

Isn't this the self-sufficient, developmental playstyle tailor-made for professional matches?

With these five thousand economic leaders emerging, who can defeat them?

At this point, countless teams began to pay attention to the Inspiration talent tree.

They never expected that the combined money-making talents of the Enlightenment Department would trigger such a terrifying synergistic effect.

At this moment, the players of IG Club looked at the scene before them with a somewhat solemn expression.

At this moment, they felt somewhat fortunate.

Chen Dongqing's Ornn in the first game and Vladimir in the second were both unexpected, and both achieved remarkable results. His entire team was completely unprepared for them.

If they were sitting opposite QG today, they would most likely not fare well either.

Fortunately, when Ilex returned, they had already finished a round against QG.

There's still a long time before their second match against QG, giving them plenty of time to prepare.

With everyone feeling somewhat relieved, they turned their attention to the competition.

As for the result of this match, there's no need to say more.

QG is guaranteed to win.

After killing the enemy, Chen Dongqing quickly returned to the top lane, placing a ward in the river bushes halfway there. He didn't even lose many minions.

Chen Dongqing's playstyle became increasingly arrogant. He would push the minion wave to the tower and then use AQEA to steal gold under the tower.

The words "Gold Coins Increase" kept popping up above the vampire's head.

But the difference from before is that this vampire with this equipment is no longer just tickling, but a real blood-draining pump.

Even Ornn, with his maxed-out magic resistance, couldn't withstand this continuous attrition. After being sniped a few times, his health gradually dropped to below half.

Chen Dongqing watched as Orn gradually became timid and shook his head repeatedly in his heart.

Don't be a coward! I'm not going to kill you, just steal more for me!

Letme cannot agree.

After another round trip, Letme finally couldn't hold on any longer and had to use his ultimate to clear the lane before returning to base to replenish his supplies.

However, Chen Dongqing pushed the lane quickly. He cleared the new minion wave with two E skills, then pushed the lane into the tower and took down the top lane tower.

With such a terrifying economic advantage in the top lane, the laning phase seemed effortless.

But the most amazing thing is that Letme has never died, and he hasn't even been out-farmed by many minions. All of these economic advantages are brought about by the runes.

As the vampire began its spiraling ascent, everyone knew that Tree Bro was about to unleash another massacre.

Meanwhile, the bottom lane finally saw a clear winner.

Because Chen Dongqing solo-killed the jungler in the upper half of the map, this directly gave his teammates a numerical advantage.

There's no need to kill anyone in the bottom lane.

All Xiangguo needed to do was bring Xiaohu to the bottom lane to apply pressure, and the four of them pushed forward in one wave, easily destroying the bottom lane tower that had been impregnable for so long.

Immediately afterwards, the team switched to the lane. Since Ornn didn't have his ultimate, they easily secured the Rift Herald and destroyed the mid turret.

QG's economic advantage expanded wildly in those few minutes! But the reason for this economic advantage was that Chen Dongqing killed Sejuani.

Often, creating an advantage is that easy: bombarding uranium-235 with a tiny neutron can trigger a terrifying chain reaction, ultimately leading to victory.

Leveraging this advantage, the game naturally transitioned to an easy mode.

Chen Dongqing, whose economy was still developing rapidly, pulled out the ultimate two-piece set of magic-binding orb, hat, and magic-wearing shoes in just twenty minutes.

He followed his teammates to push the mid lane first, and then built up his red rage to push the lane into the tower. He then charged up his E-Flash REQ combo and wiped out Lin Weixiang's Tristana's health bar in one go!

Four teammates followed closely behind, scoring a beautiful three-for-zero exchange, and then turned around to take down Baron Nashor!

With such a huge advantage, victory was clearly in the bag. In the end, QG pushed forward with a 10,000 gold lead, and Chen Dongqing, with three items, dominated the team fights, wiping out the enemy team and easily winning the game!

"Two to zero!" Wawa shouted from the commentary booth. "QG's fighting spirit in their first match after the New Year is truly impressive! They swept FPX and moved into second place in the league, and also second place in their group!"

The top team in the league and the undefeated group is naturally IG.

Miller, watching this scene, was filled with emotion: "You can clearly feel that QG with and without Brother Shu are completely different teams!"

To be honest, the QG team before the Lunar New Year was already quite strong. With Uzi and Xiangguo as their anchors, the team was definitely not weak and was even a strong contender for the championship.

However, Chen Dongqing's return will elevate this strong team to a whole new level, making QG the undisputed number one team in LOL history.

This is the true value of team spirit and the "big dad"!

Chen Dongqing glanced at the damage data and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that he was indeed in first place.

not bad.

However, his economy was too high this time, which meant his damage conversion rate was destined to be poor, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

He stood up and walked to the side of the stage to shake hands.

Halfway there, all the spectators started waving flags and shouting Chen Dongqing's ID.

Countless viewers have been looking forward to Chen Dongqing's match for far too long.

And Chen Dongqing delivered a perfect answer to his fans today!

He smiled and waved before walking over to the FPX players' bench.

The FPX members were in low spirits, but they still managed to force a smile when they saw Chen Dongqing approaching.

"See you in the playoffs next time," Chen Dongqing said with a smile, patting his old teammate Xiang Song on the shoulder. "We should be able to meet again in the playoffs, right?"

"Nonsense, we're definitely going to make it to the finals!" Lin Weixiang puffed out his chest. "Just wait, we'll fight you in the finals, and we'll definitely win!"

"Okay." Chen Dongqing nodded with a smile. "Then see you in the finals."

Chen Dongqing continued walking forward and returned to the center of the stage, whereupon the audience immediately erupted in thunderous applause!

He rolled up his peripherals and returned backstage, only to be stopped by today's host, Ren Dong, who said he wanted to conduct today's interview.

Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow and casually reached out to give the peripherals to Xiangguo, who was standing next to him, to take back.

But just then, a large hand reached out and grabbed him.

"Brother Tree, let me do it!" Little Tiger stepped forward with a grin, volunteering to help!

Chen Dongqing warned, "Be careful, don't drop it, it's worth over a thousand yuan."

"Don't worry." Xiaohu carefully took the mousepad wrapped around the mouse and keyboard. "It won't break here!"

It's clear that Xiaohu was really careful; when he took the peripheral device, he even bent his knees slightly to make the process smoother and more convenient.

This scene made several people nearby feel nauseous.

"What are you doing, Li Yuanhao?" Xiangguo ruthlessly retorted, "Isn't this a bit too much of a sycophant?"

"Hehe." Li Yuanhao didn't even turn his head. "If you get the MVP and go on an interview, I'll help you buy peripherals too."

"Hehe, you said it yourself." Xiangguo kept these words in mind before turning and walking towards the lounge.

Li Yuanhao chuckled and exchanged another glance with Chen Dongqing before turning and leaving.

Chen Dongqing watched his teammates disappear around the corner before slowly turning his head to look at the television next to him.

This is exactly when the MVP of the game was selected.

The MVP award is clearly a no-brainer.

Although Chen Dongqing's participation rate and damage conversion rate were pitifully low, he still managed to win the MVP award for this game with extremely high damage and a significant economic advantage over his opponent.

Below a column of data, Chen Dong's MVP count in the Youth Season is also displayed.

It's still 1.

Chen Dongqing missed a third of the regular season games, and his statistics are somewhat lacking, so it will be difficult for him to win the regular season MVP this time.

But it's not a big problem.

Chen Dongqing no longer needs these awards to prove himself; it would be great if he could win them, but if not, so be it.

After the MVP award ceremony, the interviews will begin.

Ren Dong and Chen Dongqing exchanged a glance and quickly walked onto the stage.

Once the camera started, Ren Dong quickly raised his question.

"First of all, congratulations to QG for winning 2-0 today! But we can notice that Brother Tree's hero selection today seems quite different. He didn't choose the warrior heroes he's known for, but instead chose less common top lane champions like Ornn and Vladimir. Why is that?"

Upon hearing the question, Chen Dongqing laughed and said, "There's no reason why. It's just that the version doesn't fit. The current version has lost Fervor of War, and the sustained output of warrior heroes is weak, so they are no longer suitable to choose. Ornn and Vladimir are very suitable for the version. It's that simple. I always choose characters based on the version, not just randomly."

As soon as he said this, the audience below the stage booed.

According to version?

Last year at the World Championship, you picked eleven heroes in sixteen matches. Was that all due to the current meta?

Where the hell are there so many versions of heroes?

Ren Dong's mind was racing with ideas, but he didn't ask the question aloud. Instead, he continued, "Brother Shu, could you explain your Kleptomancy talent in the second game? You seemed to have gained a huge amount of gold using that talent!"

Chen Dongqing knew that once he brought this idea to the stage, it would inevitably be studied by players all over the world; it was no longer a secret. So he spoke frankly:

"The key to this strategy isn't just the single Kleptomancy, but the combination of multiple talents. Stealing money, cookies, shoes, and Extract—these talents work together to achieve the effect I had in this match; none of them can be missing."

"But I don't mind if everyone learns this," Chen Dongqing said with a smile. "This playstyle is too weak in lane, because getting solo killed because of greed for gold is not worth it."

Clearly, Chen Dongqing was too late when he said this.

Today, a large number of greedy vampires will appear in the Rift, which will be a boon for countless top lane players.

Ren Dong smiled and continued with his third question: "One last question. In the upcoming matches, QG will be playing two away games. When will QG's home stadium be available for use?"

Next, QG will face WE and OMG in succession. Both of these teams have home venues, and their venues were completed after the Lunar New Year. Therefore, QG will travel to Xi'an and Chengdu for these two matches respectively.

As for QG's home stadium, it will definitely be a bit slower because their application for the stadium was approved slowly, and they also had to discuss cooperation with people in the city, which delayed the start of construction.

"QG's home venue will be open soon," Chen Dongqing said with a smile. "I went to check it out a few days ago, and the venue should open next month. I'm sure you'll all be coming, right?"

QG's home stadium is in Shanghai, and the audience is basically the group of people in the audience, so Chen Dongqing's words were spoken directly to the audience.

The audience waved flags and cheered, expressing their determination to do so next time.

2 month 28 number.

QG headed to Xi'an to engage in a major battle with WE.

This year's WE team hasn't changed much in terms of roster, but their strength has plummeted compared to last year.

It's clear that WE is a team that benefited from the Ardent Censer meta.

The designer's knife, which was aimed at the incense burner, also fell on WE.

Against such an opponent, the game was not even worth mentioning.

Chen Dongqing and Uzi each won an MVP award, easily taking the game 2-0.

QG had a short break this time, and the team returned to Shanghai to rest for a while.

On March 5th, QG set off again, this time heading to Chengdu.

It has to be said that these two consecutive home games have been quite grueling.

For the QG players, who are used to playing in Shanghai, traveling to other places twice a week is really tiring.

As a result, in the Chengdu vs. OMG match, QG was in poor form and even lost the second game.

Of course, this match wasn't just due to poor form; another important reason was that OMG's bot lane was too dominant.

Able, who knocked RNG out of the league last year, joined OMG this year.

In this match, Able picked a hybrid Ezreal build with Manamune, Iceborn Gauntlet, and Archangel's Staff. He relied on Kleptomancy to farm aggressively in the early game and stack Goddess of Mercy. Because he was playing Ezreal, he was able to withstand the pressure very well.

After waiting until the 29-minute mark, when EZ finally acquired his three core items, the game took a turn for the worse.

This hybrid Ezreal build is incredibly powerful; not only is its damage ridiculously high, but its self-preservation ability is also abnormally strong.

With the high armor provided by Iceborn Gauntlet and the terrifying mana provided by Manamune and Seraph's Embrace, Archangel's Staff's shield is thicker than a health bar when pressed!

QG initially had a significant advantage, but their decision to target EZ led to a lost team fight.

But if you don't switch to Ezreal, it's obviously not easy to win.

Ultimately, thanks to EZ's performance, OMG managed to pull off a small comeback and win the game!

Backstage, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but scratch his head.

I should have known better than to pick that Riven this game.

He picked Riven to dominate the enemy Gnar, and he did dominate the top lane, but he ran into trouble when it came to taking down the AD carry.

In the past, Riven with the three core items could instantly kill AD carries.

But today I encountered an EZ with Iceborn Gauntlet, Ninja Tabi, and Seraph's Embrace.

One combo, and he barely lost half his health.

There's really no way around it. Riven is a pure physical damage dealer with a short dash, so she can't really do anything against a fully armored Ezreal.

Picking Camille might just lead to victory.

Of course, Able's choice of two EZ champions is still worth noting.

As a time traveler, Chen Dongqing was certainly familiar with this tactic and its dominance.

In his previous life during Season 8, Uzi played Ezreal on his left and Kai'Sa on his right, and together with RNG, they won the MSI championship.

One comment from Tengyang's commentary was quite classic: "Uzi's Kai'Sa is inconsistent! Not as consistent as Ezreal!"

This sentence alone tells you the true value of the "Double Goddess EZ" title.

Because this double-goddess EZ strategy requires Kleptomancy to farm and develop, Chen Dongqing didn't use this strategy before Season 8.

At the beginning of S8, just as Chen Dongqing was preparing to find an opportunity to tell Uzi, Able took it out first.

He truly deserves to be called the inventor of esports.

But this is also good. It's a good thing to let the team realize the strength of this strategy through a small-scale defeat.

Soon, QG took to the field for the third time.

QG has never been stubborn. This time, Banbazi decisively banned EZ, and after that, there were no problems in the game. QG pushed forward and easily won the game!

After defeating OMG, QG returned to Shanghai and immediately began researching the dual-goddess EZ strategy. The research proved that this strategy was quite suitable for their operational ideas, and they promptly added it to their arsenal.

The QG match then continued.

On March 11th, QG will face off against RW.

This time, playing on home turf in Shanghai, Uzi, with the support of the dual-wielding EZ weapon, seemed to have divine assistance, winning MVP in two consecutive games and taking down RW 2-0, helping QG secure a point.

It has to be said that Uzi's performance in this spring season can be considered the peak of his entire career.

With Chen Dongqing sidelined, Uzi single-handedly carried the team for QG, delivering phenomenal performances.

Just like Chen Dongqing's dominance in the top lane, Uzi has achieved a significant lead in a series of statistics in this Spring Split, including kills, damage share, damage per minute, and CS lead. The lead is not just a little bit!

Seeing this, all the viewers felt that Uzi was probably going to win the regular season MVP.

But then, the audience realized that they were the ones who were young.

Chen Dongqing's performance officially began on March 16th.

In the match against VG, Chen Dongqing played Camille and had a perfect synergy with Xiaohu's Galio, achieving a godlike performance in 28 minutes and easily defeating VG, forcing VG to ban Camille in the second game.

But the price was that Jayce was released.

Chen Dongqing confidently locked in Jayce, and the game ended even faster this time. Chen Dongqing cooperated with Xiangguo to tower dive and get the first blood at level 3, completed a solo kill at level 5, and roamed to the mid lane at level 7, getting another kill.

In this match, Chen Dongqing achieved a godlike performance in just sixteen minutes, leaving the entire VG team completely bewildered!

Two phenomenal performances have given viewers a glimpse of the possibility that Chen Dongqing could win the regular season MVP.

Then, it was March 18th.

Today is the last match of the intergroup round-robin tournament. After that, the regular season will enter its final round of the same group round-robin.

In this match, QG's opponent is JDG.

JDG has Zoom, the former top laner of FPX, which is a decent addition, but not a particularly strong one.

Chen Dongqing remained ruthless, first pulling out a Captain's Blade and slashing down Zoom's Ornn, then pulling out a Kennen and delivering a godlike performance, sending JDG to victory and earning his second consecutive MVP!

Clearly, it's not just Uzi who's in good form.

In the four best-of-three series since his return, Chen Dongqing scored five MVP awards, quickly becoming a strong contender for the regular season MVP.

Meanwhile, QG also ended the second round of inter-group matches with a score of 12-1.

Unfortunately, they still finished second in their group.

Because the IG team has never lost a game so far.

The good news is that QG has a higher overall win rate and more game points. If they win the upcoming internal battle, they can overtake QG based on game points!

But that's a matter for the next game.

After the match on March 18th, QG Club celebrated its relocation.

The first phase of construction of QG's home stadium, located in the Hongqiao Qianwan area of ​​Huacao Town, MH District, has been officially completed.

The lobby used for LPL matches and the dormitories for players from various divisions have been renovated and are now officially in use!

Early in the morning, everyone from QG got up.

But this time they didn't get up to train.

They had a simple breakfast, and then dragged their large suitcases to the specially hired van for transport.

Starting today, they will be leaving Songjiang University Town and moving to their new base near their home stadium.

This time the venue is in Hongqiao, which is quite close to the LPL venue in Hongqiao Tiandi. Although it is also in a remote location, it is still better than the SJ area.

Actually, we could have moved a couple of days ago, but QG had to prepare for their upcoming matches, so we couldn't move immediately and had to wait until now.

Their League of Legends division was actually among the last to relocate to the new base.

After putting his suitcase away, Chen Dongqing boarded the team bus and watched it slowly drive towards the new base. He felt a vague sense of anticipation.

I wonder what it will be like to be at the new base?

The main venue's back hall, which is the e-sports entertainment center, is still under construction. It's not far from the new base, so won't it be a bit noisy?

You'll know once you move in.

Anyway, one benefit is obvious: QG will no longer have to travel across most of Shanghai to the Zhengda Plaza in Lujiazui for their matches.

It's just a short walk from my door!

As they approached the base, Chen Dongqing stood on the bus and saw QG's new home stadium by the roadside.

Chen Dongqing visited the home stadium a few days ago and knew that a lot of money had been spent on this stadium.

Although it doesn't have many e-sports elements, it certainly has the standard configuration for a movie viewing experience.

The stadium, which can accommodate 1,000 people, has a huge live screen and some cyberpunk-style player seating, which is quite impressive.

At the top of the venue, some upright flags were also hanging, each displaying one of the championships QG had won in the past two years.

Because of QG's numerous achievements, several rows of flags were hung on the roof of the venue.

Overall, it's much better than the small venue at Zhengda Plaza.

I believe that Shanghai audiences will prefer to watch matches at QG's home stadium in the future.

The bus continued its journey and soon stopped at the entrance of the new base.

This QG base is a large office building where all the branch staff live.

The staff had already set up the base quite a bit, and as soon as you enter the gate, you can see a huge trophy wall.

All of QG's team honors are listed here; it's a veritable feast for the eyes.

Placed in the center is a miniature version of the 2016 World Championship trophy.

Next to the S6 World Championship trophy, there is an empty space that is meant for the S7 trophy. But as everyone knows, Riot Games is slow to deliver. The S6 trophy was just delivered, and we don't know when the S7 trophy will arrive. So it will have to stay empty for now.

Linko then explained, "This time, all the branches live together in the base, so there are many floors. But don't worry, our LOL branch will definitely have the best treatment. Our floor is on the second floor, so everyone won't have to go anywhere else."

"As for the first floor, there are training rooms for different branches, as well as some offices, all of which have been soundproofed, so there is no need to worry about noise."

Chen Dongqing's gaze swept across the room, which had transparent glass doors, but they were all soundproof, so the training rooms did not interfere with each other.

The small truck loaded with luggage arrived at this time, and several people were responsible for unloading the luggage so that the contestants could claim it.

Chen Dongqing didn't rush to the training room, but instead dragged his suitcase upstairs to decide on a room.

Xiao Hu, that bastard, even volunteered to share a room with Chen Dongqing, which terrified Chen Dongqing, who immediately refused.

As usual, Chen Dongqing chose to share a room with Xiangguo.

After a lot of effort, Chen Dongqing finally managed to settle all his luggage. Then he took his peripherals downstairs to see what the new training room looked like.

Go down to the first floor and walk through the corridor. On both sides are the training rooms of players from various divisions.

Through the soundproof glass, you can see that in the King of Glory division, our three-time FMVP, Farmer Tree Brother, Flying Bull General, is discussing some tactics with his teammates.

Fei Niu saw Chen Dongqing in the corridor and waved excitedly.

Why is QG considered the strongest esports club in the world right now? Simply because they have won so many championships.

The League of Legends division, the StarCraft division, and the Honor of Kings division led by FeiNiu—each of them is a world champion!

A valuation of sixty million US dollars is no joke.

Chen Dongqing smiled and greeted the other person before continuing to walk forward.

Opposite the Honor of Kings division is the DOTA2 division.

Chen Dongqing deliberately peeked out.

The DOTA2 division comes from the LGD team, which was directly acquired by the club through its financial resources.

Moreover, since the club was acquired, its performance seems to have been quite good, with consecutive victories and two domestic qualifying championships already secured. The club will soon represent China in several international competitions.

However, since this branch was located in a different building, this was the first time Chen Dongqing had met them.

Their training room was not closed, and some faint sounds could be heard coming from inside.

"What's wrong with Li Zaigan, Xiao Se?" A man wearing black-rimmed glasses, who looked rather honest, complained, "You little dog went up to the enemy's high ground without even activating Berserk? Don't you want to win?"

Today's word count is still 7,000.

This update schedule is so refreshing, I think it should be able to keep it up this month.

Next will be a routine, followed by the IG match, which is the last game of the regular season, and then we'll prepare for the playoffs.

This spring season has been fast-paced enough, with a lot of content cut.

Because I think most people probably don't like watching the Spring Split, so it has little impact on the storyline.

(End of this chapter)
