League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 411 It's not shameful to lose to Brother Tree

Xiao Se is the nickname of Ame, the number one position player of LGD. His real name is Wang Chunyu. At this time, they obviously had some problems in the training match and were going through a trial.

As for the boy with black-rimmed glasses, his name is Maybe, and he is the team's number two player.

Chen Dongqing loved watching court proceedings, so he stopped and stood to the side to listen for a while.

You could hear Ame, who was being called into court, sounding somewhat indignant: "I think my Butterfly and Heart of Tarrasque are pretty tanky. I wanted to take a full combo of damage, then use my ultimate to dodge, and then activate BKB after I came out. The main problem is that you all ran away. If you had protected me, we could have won this fight."

"How dare you say that?" Maybe was speechless. "Can a little dog do any damage with Butterfly and Heart of Tarrasque? (Similar to Olaf with Phantom Dancer and Warmog's Armor) How are we supposed to fight? We're just going to scratch the enemy's skin, right?"

Ame was suddenly speechless, unsure of what to say.

As the center of attention, being the first to be eliminated instantly certainly carries responsibility regardless of the circumstances.

"Remember this lesson well!" the coach said solemnly. "If someone pulls this stunt in a match or even at TI, it could cause serious problems."

"Okay, okay," Ame drawled, "Let's play another round. I'll definitely get the kill next time!"

"You can't fight now even if you want to." The coach waved his hand. "They've already left."

"Huh?" Ame was dumbfounded. "That's disgusting. Who would run away after winning?"

"There's nothing I can do about that," Maybe shook her head. "Let's rest for a while, have lunch, and then call him again this afternoon when that B wakes up."

Seeing that the court proceedings were over so quickly, Chen Dongqing shook his head and turned to continue walking towards his training room.

But at that moment, the DOTA2 team saw him.

"Brother Tree!" Ame was pleasantly surprised and reached out to greet him.

Although Chen Dongqing is not from the DOTA2 side, he dominated the Chinese server rankings for several months last year. Many DOTA2 players have been defeated by him, so it's hard not to know him.

Hearing the sound, Chen Dongqing turned his gaze back and saw AME walking towards him.

With two LOL championships and a StarCraft championship, Chen Dongqing is now undoubtedly the number one esports player in China. After AME set this precedent, other DOTA2 players quickly came over and greeted Chen Dongqing.

Having been with QG for so long, they've been training alone in another apartment building. Today is the first time they've met Chen Dongqing in person, so of course they want to get to know him and maybe add him on WeChat.

"I just saw you listening outside," AME greeted with a smile. "What's up, thinking about playing Dota 2?"

Chen Dongqing said with a smile, "If you don't mind, then I don't mind either."

The five players in front of us are undeniably skilled in Dota 2, after all, they are the team that made it to the finals.

In the final game of the finals, LGD even held a huge advantage and victory was within reach, but unfortunately, AME's Morphling's high ground reverse wave gave away a key kill, allowing the opposing OG to seize the opportunity and complete the comeback.

This is CNDOTA's biggest regret.

Chen Dongqing has an extra advantage; if he can join this team, it will definitely be a boost, allowing him to take things to the next level and win the final championship.

But Chen Dongqing certainly couldn't force it, since he wasn't familiar with any of these people, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to shamelessly try to squeeze into their group.

In other words, a catalyst is needed.

"Then hurry up and come!" AME said expectantly, "You play position 2, right? Maybe can switch to that position and help me out!"

Upon hearing this, Maybe's expression immediately changed.

He knew Ilex's skill level, of course, and if he had to compete with him for the job, he would be a little intimidated.

"No, no, no," Chen Dongqing laughed. "Actually, I quite like playing position one. You guys just qualified for the Major, right? How about we have a competition, and whoever's better goes?"

This time, it was AME's turn to have a change in expression.

The teammates next to him chuckled.

After teasing her, Chen Dongqing chuckled and said, "Just kidding. I don't have much time to play DOTA2 right now. Let's talk about it another time. You guys are doing pretty well now, you just won the championship, so you don't really need me."

Only then did AME breathe a sigh of relief.

After a brief chat, Chen Dongqing took out his phone and added everyone in the DOTA2 division on WeChat.

At this moment, AME said again, "By the way, Brother Tree, are you busy right now?"

Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow: "Nothing's wrong, what's up?"

Their League of Legends scrimmages don't start until 3 PM, but it's only a little past 11 AM now, so there's still plenty of time.

"Then come and play with us!" AME laughed. "Our second team's number one player hasn't gotten up yet. How about you fill in for him and we play some practice matches?"

Chen Dongqing laughed and said, "Trying to torture me, huh?"

In any professional system, the gap in strength between the second team and the first team is huge.

Sending Chen Dongqing to the second team to fight against the first team would be asking for trouble.

"It's okay, just playing around!" AME laughed. "We're short-handed for practice matches, and besides, who says you're guaranteed to lose?"

"Let's go." Chen Dongqing happened to be holding a keyboard. He walked into the DOTA2 training room as if he knew the place well, sat down in an empty seat, and said casually, "Position one, huh? Okay, I'll play a couple of games too!"

"OK!" AME licked his lips and sat down in his seat.

The opportunity to abuse Tree Bro is just around the corner, and AME has to consider whether this is his only chance in this lifetime.

I can accept being constantly crushed by you in ranked matches last year.

Now I have four teammates on my team, how could I possibly lose to you?

Let's get started!

The League of Legends training room at this time.

Unable to share a room with Chen Dongqing, Xiao Hu had no choice but to share a room with A Guang.

Although I felt disgusted, there was nothing I could do about it.

Xiao Hu put his luggage away and then quickly went downstairs.

Looking at the new base, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking left and right, full of surprise.

"Wow, that's so high-class!"

Xiaohu has been playing professionally for so many years, and the training base has always been an ordinary apartment building, with the training room being at most a small room.

Where have I ever seen such a professional training environment?

It has to be said that joining QG was the best decision he ever made in his life.

If you miss this opportunity, where else can you find one?

At this moment, Xiaohu suddenly remembered Chen Dongqing, who had introduced him to QG.

These are like my second parents!

Xiao Hu looked left and right, but still couldn't see Brother Shu.

He walked to the League of Legends training room, set up his peripherals at his spot, and then looked left and right, but still couldn't find it.

"Huh?" Xiao Hu was a little surprised. "Where's Brother Shu?"

Xiangguo thought for a moment and said, "He seems to be playing in the DOTA2 division."

Xiangguo came down late, and when he did, he saw Chen Dongqing being pulled into the DOTA2 division.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the LOL division fell silent.

This does seem like something Chen Dongqing would do.

Good grief, so the point of moving to the new base is just to let this guy wander around and play games everywhere, right?

Suddenly I feel something's wrong, what's going on?

Linko was also exasperated. After thinking for a moment, he decided to head to the DOTA2 division's training room.

He really wanted to see what was going on.

The rest of the QG members followed closely behind and quickly arrived at the DOTA2 division training room, which was a few rooms away.

At this moment, all ten players' computers in the training room are running, arranged in two rows for intense matches.

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing had perfectly blended in and was fighting with great passion.

"They're chasing me! Help!"

Linko was immediately furious and quickly walked behind Chen Dongqing to take a look.

Let's see what he's up to.

As soon as he arrived, Linko habitually checked the stats.

A roaming swordsman with an 8-1-4 score, wielding Aghanim's Scepter, Assault Cuirass, and Black King Bar.

Linko's eyes narrowed.

Eight people were killed with only three pieces of equipment? Are you slaughtering pigs here?

The team you're facing is a top-tier team that I bought for tens of millions!

At this moment, the four members of the QG main team are forming a ganking squad, unleashing their skills on Chen Dongqing's Sven.

However, unlike in League of Legends, the carry role in DOTA 2 is very tanky.

As a strength hero, the Wandering Swordsman naturally has high health, and all three of his items have some defensive attributes. QG's three players controlled him for a long time but couldn't get a kill!

Soon, the strong control effect on Chen Dongqing ended, and Chen Dongqing immediately activated Black King Bar (BKB) to remove the weak control effect on him!

Although Chen Dongqing had very little health left, he didn't back down. He used his third skill and ultimate to boost his attack, and then unleashed a [Storm Fist]!

Sven's skill mechanics are very simple.

The first skill, [Storm Fist], is a standard hammer-type skill. When you throw it at a person, a projectile will fly over and stun enemies in a small area around the target.

If Sven has Aghanim's Scepter, he will dash to Sven's face along with his skill projectiles and add a basic attack effect.

This effect is incredibly powerful. A single tap of the skill can control and close the gap, and it also adds a critical hit that can benefit from special effects. It's a pure monster with amazing mechanics, earning it the nickname "Ultraman Leo".

Both the third skill and the ultimate skill are buffs, which grant a huge increase in attack power when activated!

The second skill is a passive ability that comes with Tiamat's split ability.

However, the split effect in this game is different. It is not a fixed damage value, but 65% of the attack damage, and this split damage ignores armor!

Therefore, in the late game when armor is high, the target can even take more damage when the attack spreads!

For example, right now.

"Sizzle!"

The instant Sven dashes forward with his first skill, the damage from an auto-attack triggered by Aghanim's Scepter effect is automatically dealt.

Because of the spread effect of the second skill, the two people next to the target simultaneously received 65% of the damage value as true damage!

Immediately afterward, taking advantage of the dizziness, Chen Dongqing slashed twice more!

Linko witnessed Sven's three consecutive strikes, which, with their high attack power and spread damage, caused the health of the three opponents to drop rapidly!

The squishiest position 5 player was even killed by those three hits!

Luckily, I was one step ahead.JPG

All your fancy control and combo attacks, are they even useful?

It doesn't feel as good as the real man's three-knife technique.

At this moment, the remaining position 1 and position 2 players on the opposing team still wanted to run, but they had no chance at all because Chen Dongqing's teammates had also arrived.

With their leader backing them up, the second team finally had the chance to beat up the first team. Naturally, they were ruthless, taking down Maybe and AME, who were the last to escape.

As the screen turned black and white, AME was dumbfounded.

Holy crap! What's going on?!

Wow, that's amazing!

It's one thing for me to get crushed by you in ranked matches.

Today I called up four teammates to play a professional match against you, and you still managed to crush us?

Are you even being reasonable?!

After this, their game was destined to fail.

There was nothing they could do but type GG.

Chen Dongqing stood up and said with feigned sigh, "It's been so long since I played, but it seems my skills haven't gotten worse!"

Chen Dongqing doesn't play much DOTA2, so he doesn't understand any tactics; he was just a pure attacker in this game.

First, establish pressure in the laning phase, then use Sven's split-hit ability to quickly farm jungle camps and develop. After 20 minutes, once you've cleared the jungle, follow the second team's instructions to go and kill people.

Fortunately, the effect was fantastic; the pigs were slaughtered directly.

Upon hearing this word, AME felt a pang of unease and began to overthink.

It is known that his four teammates from Team 1 are greater than Chen Dongqing's four teammates from Team 2.

They also knew that the other side's five were greater than their five.

Based on both conditions, we can conclude that Chen Dongqing >> him.

Thinking of this, AME's Dao heart almost collapsed.

Maybe he really is more suited to be the team's point guard than I am.

On the other side, Chen Dongqing was still a little unsatisfied and wanted to play a few more rounds, but Linko didn't give him the chance at all and just dragged him away.

"You came to the new base and the first thing you did was play Dota 2? Is that even acceptable? Hurry up and go to your seat and download League of Legends. We have a scrim this afternoon."

Left with no other option, Chen Dongqing had to choose Kairun.

This clearly made AME extremely anxious.

The opponent won and then ran away!

His teammates then offered words of comfort and reassurance.

"It's Tree Bro on the other side, it's normal that you can't beat him."

So what if you're a pro DOTA2 player? Do you think you're so great? Even pro StarCraft players got utterly crushed by Tree, didn't they? A bunch of champions went there and couldn't even beat him in a 7v1!

Upon hearing this, AME felt a little calmer.

To be honest, that's true.

It's not shameful to lose to Brother Tree.

Back in the training room, Chen Dongqing plugged in his mouse and keyboard and started fiddling with the computer settings.

There are quite a few things to adjust on a new computer.

During this time, Xiao Hu kept asking questions, eager to know how Chen Dongqing could maintain such a high level of skill across so many games.

Chen Dongqing pointed to his head.

Xiao Hu seemed to understand something and said, "You mean, keep thinking?"

Chen Dongqing shook his head: "What I mean is, pure talent."

"OK."

By the time everything in the training room was almost ready, it was noon.

The difference between the new base and the old base is that this time it's no longer an apartment building, so there won't be a housekeeper to cook for us.

Fortunately, money can solve anything. QG contacted a nearby restaurant and will provide meals to the team members during mealtimes on a regular basis.

After lunch, it's time for training.

Banbazi fiddled with the computer for a while before finally getting the projector in the new training room working. He asked everyone to draw the curtains first, and then switched to the projected image.

"After the third round of the round-robin tournament, LPL will be updated to version 8.5," Banbazi said. "This version has a lot of new content, so I need to hold a special meeting to talk about it."

(PS: Actually, this is a compilation of key points from the previous three or four versions, but the previous competitions were quickly skipped over, so there wasn't a chance to talk about it. However, it is a very important thing, so I'm going to talk about it here. Don't worry, it won't be too long.)

Chen Dongqing sat in his ergonomic chair, watching the updated data flash by, but his heart remained unmoved.

He already knew about these version updates.

Season 8 is considered the most legendary season in the LPL, and Chen Dongqing knows this season inside and out.

"The first key point is that the Raven has been reworked."

Below is the updated announcement.

The strategist has transformed into the Noxian commander.

However, judging from the win rate trend chart attached by banbazi, this rework does not seem to be successful. The win rate of the reworked Raven is even declining, and it may still need some numerical buffs.

"First and foremost, the Sightstone and the green jungle item have been completely removed." Banbazi couldn't help but laugh as he said this: "This is good news for us."

Vision has always been a weak point for QG, because Chen Dongqing rarely places wards, and Xiangguo's vision control has always been a weakness.

Last year at the S7 World Championship, vision control was QG's biggest headache.

But now it's all good, I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Remove the green jungle item and sight stone together, and everyone will become blind!

Xiangguo already knew about the update, but upon seeing the news, he still smiled happily: "Damn, the designers finally did something good! It seems they really want LCK to die!"

Those who excel at vision control are mainly EDG and some LCK teams.

With this change, they are the absolute victims.

Banbazi then flipped through the page and saw changes to support items.

"Of course, the Sightstone hasn't completely disappeared; it's moved to support items. Now, support items automatically gain the Sightstone function after acquiring 500 gold. However, compared to the current version's playstyle of playing without a Sightstone, support items will gain it a few minutes later."

Then, the PowerPoint presentation continued to turn the pages.

"Next up is the rune changes."

In recent versions, the designers have been constantly making changes to runes, with each version featuring some minor adjustments to the numerical values.

This version has undergone significant changes, with the yellow Precision talent tree finally receiving a major overhaul.

Precision primary rune no longer only increases attack speed, but now provides either attack damage or ability power depending on the secondary rune choice.

Most importantly, the [Conqueror] talent has finally been updated.

This version of Conqueror differs from later versions; it's a mode similar to Undying. It triggers immediately after entering combat for a period of time, followed by an attack on a hero. It lasts for three seconds, and melee heroes can refresh this effect by remaining in combat.

I've finally waited for you, my darling!

Chen Dongqing couldn't help but grin slightly as he looked at the stats for this version of the Conqueror.

It adds 10 attack power at level 1 and converts 20% of the damage into true damage.

Based on a 50% damage reduction, your original 100 points of damage will only deal 50 damage.

But with this true damage buff, it can deal 80*0.5+20, which is 60 points of damage!

For a pure physical damage champion like Riven, this translates to a direct 20% damage increase!

Moreover, this benefit will continue to increase as the opponent's resistance increases.

The designer is trying to wipe out tanks in one fell swoop!

Upon thinking of this, Chen Dongqing suddenly paused.

He now understands why a super-powerful hero like Ornn only became popular in his previous life during the MSI.

Initially, due to the short development time, Ornn's overpowered abilities went unnoticed. However, with the release of Conqueror, his overpowered abilities became useless, and tanks were relegated to the role of slaving warriors.

This resulted in Ornn being overlooked until MSI, only gaining prominence after Conqueror was nerfed.

It's not easy.

Banbazi continued scrolling through the pages, and another major change appeared.

Irelia, the Blade Dancer, has officially completed her rework.

Irelia has now become the Blade Dancer.

The passive has four stacks, and hitting a target with a skill can stack multiple stacks of the passive. You can throw E while Q is in flight or while W is charging. The ultimate skill has a disarm effect.

This is the new Irelia at her peak, a super monster with both high stats and amazing mechanics.

Paired with this new supermodel version of the Conqueror, it's simply a killer move.

"The new Irelia is performing terrifyingly well in ranked games." Banbazi showed Irelia's win rate data, which can be seen that after the rework, Irelia's win rate has risen from 48% to 53%.

Moreover, this win rate is based on the fact that the hero was just reworked and players are not familiar with the hero.

It's obvious that Irelia will be nerfed in the next patch.

But in this version, it's pure, unadulterated fun!

"This Irelia can play both mid and top lanes, and her dominance in both lanes is quite good," Banbazi said. "Li Yuanhao, practice more recently."

"Yes, yes." Little Tiger nodded solemnly. "I've already started practicing!"

It's a hero that both mid and top laners need to practice, but Banbazi only lets Xiaohu practice it.

Because they understood that Chen Dongqing didn't need to train as a hero; this guy was a monster.

Beside him, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but chuckle softly.

In the next match, he is destined to stir up a bloodbath.

So who will be their opponent in the next match?

"I think this version is quite favorable for us, this is good news!" Banbazi said with a smile. "But we absolutely cannot be complacent in tomorrow's match; if we win, we'll be number one in the regular season!"

The next opponent is IG? Then it's okay.

Chen Dongqing clenched his knuckles, a strange sense of anticipation creeping in.

With the number of teams expanding to 14, the league's schedule is now very tight.

After moving to the new base, the team had no time to rest. Just the next day, on March 20th, the third round of the regular season officially started.

Chen Dongqing carried his peripherals in a backpack and walked to the new home stadium, which was only a few hundred meters away as the crow flies, feeling very relaxed!

Gone are the days of taking a half-hour bus ride before the competition!

With this in mind, Chen Dongqing walked briskly into the new stadium.

The process was the same: checking peripherals and applying makeup. But this time, the staff were all from our own company, so the whole process was much faster.

Sitting in the lounge, everyone munched on KFC while Linko instructed them, "On the rest day after this game, can you guys help me put together a vlog to promote our home arena? Is that alright?"

"Does this even need promotion?" Chen Dongqing laughed. "The place outside is practically bursting at the seams."

It can only be said that QG has now established a brand effect. After the base was officially established, many fans even came to check in and sign in.

Today is match day, and the area outside is packed with people; all one thousand seats are in high demand!

Linko can't stop smiling whenever he sees this scene.

Given this popularity, playing at home is definitely a worthwhile investment! The money was well spent!

Even so, Linko laughed and said, "Who would complain about being popular? There are still fans who don't know, so more promotion is never a bad thing!"

That's the end of this topic. Linko doesn't want other topics to affect today's match.

Banbazi quickly began discussing today's draft strategy with his teammates.

Although QG no longer values ​​regular season results, this means they won't blindly pursue a perfect record in the regular season. They will focus on balancing work and rest and keep some trump cards in hand.

But they absolutely must secure first place in the regular season.

Furthermore, this is QG's first match since arriving at their home stadium.

With these two factors combined, we absolutely must win this game!

"Alright, everyone, welcome to Shanghai Super Hopson One, this is QG's home stadium!" Guan Daxiao shouted happily from the commentary booth at QG's home stadium.

It has to be said that Guan Daxiao was very happy after arriving at QG's home stadium.

The commentary booths here are much better equipped; each person even has a small screen for watching the game, which is placed on the table!

In the LPL, the commentators use a large screen placed in front of them, which several people watch together.

For commentators who are generally nearsighted, this is a hellish experience; they can't see the details in the picture at all when they are far away.

Doll Miller has complained about this thing more than once.

But now that everyone is equipped with a small screen that sits on a table, the experience is obviously much better, since the distance is closer.

"Today is QG's first home game! And their opponent is no ordinary team either, it's none other than the current league number one, the undefeated IG!"

I remember loudly echoing from the sidelines, "The winner of today's match will directly determine the top spot in the league! Something to look forward to!"

"Of course, before the competition begins, we still need to express our gratitude." Colonel Guan seized the opportunity to rattle off a long list of sponsors.

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing was standing behind the scenes, chatting with his girlfriend.

"Hey, when you read out my ID later, make it a little more ceremonial." Chen Dongqing nudged the person opposite him and laughed, "iiiiiilex, you know what I mean."

"Dream on!" Lin Yuanhua rolled her eyes. "What if the audience doesn't react if I read it like that?"

"Impossible!" Chen Dongqing waved his hand. "Don't you even know whose territory this is? Do you think there are any Instagram fans here today?"

"Hmph." Lin Yuanhua raised her head. "I'll think about it."

"Heh." Chen Dongqing rolled his eyes. "Take it or leave it."

Lin Yuanhua raised an eyebrow, just about to seize the opportunity to escalate the issue, but at that moment, the director's voice came through her earpiece, reminding her to prepare to go on stage.

"I'm not talking to you anymore." Lin Yuanhua tidied her appearance one last time before stepping onto the stage.

Chen Dongqing waved his hand and gave his girlfriend's butt a hard slap, helping her out.

Lin Yuanhua staggered from the slap, her face slightly flushed as she glared at Chen Dongqing before quickly walking onto the stage.

As soon as Lin Yuanhua appeared, the audience below the stage immediately erupted in a thunderous cheer!

Because of Chen Dongqing as the middleman, QG fans really like Lin Yuanhua!

It was thanks to the support of QG fans that Lin Yuanhua won the Best Host of the Year award.

There's also a mysterious fact: QG has never lost a match hosted by Lin Yuanhua.

Why did they lose to IG at the start of the Spring Split? It's because the host that day was Ren Dong!

Ren Dong's fault.

Lin Yuanhua stood on the big stage of QG's home stadium, showing a bright smile, as players from both sides took the stage.

"Let's first welcome our home team today! QiaoGu!"

"Top laner—iiiiiilex!"

In that instant, the cheers of the thousand audience members exploded, creating the feeling of a stage for ten thousand people in the studio!

Chen Dongqing, with an undisguised smile, quickly walked onto the stage.

Lin Yuanhua also turned to look at the passageway, watching her boyfriend walk quickly towards her, and wink at her.

Behind him, Xiangguo muttered "dogs and bitches" in a voice only he could hear.

"Next up, please welcome Mala Xiang Guo!"

Upon hearing his ID, Xiangguo quickly composed himself and walked onto the stage.

After all the QG players took the stage, the IG players followed suit, guided by Lin Yuanhua.

IG has been undefeated in both rounds of the league, essentially beating every team in the league.

After a series of victories, a sense of confidence began to take root in the hearts of the IG players.

With this confidence, they were not intimidated at all, even when facing QG!

If you can win once, you can win twice!

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing was also scanning IG's lineup, paying particular attention to IG's rookie AD.

Although JackeyLove's stats in the IG team aren't great, you have to admit that the only change in IG's transformation from a crash in S7 to a meteoric rise in S8 was the addition of him.

It's also worth mentioning that, I don't know what different effects Chen Dongqing's time travel brought, but in this world, TheShy didn't go soloing the trash can, so his hand wasn't injured.

IG in S8 was indeed a formidable opponent, and they might have become even stronger if TheShy hadn't been injured.

But Chen Dongqing was clearly not afraid.

In this world, any team that encounters QG, which he is in, will have to obediently submit to defeat!

Both players are seated, and the draft phase begins!
