League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 452 FMVP!

After the handshake, the five members of QG went to the center of the stage. They looked at the trophy in the middle, exchanged glances, and were filled with excitement.

Everyone placed one hand on the trophy in front of them, and then simultaneously lifted the trophy high!

The spotlight shone on everyone's heads, and cheers erupted from the audience once again!

Down in the audience, Lin Yuanhua couldn't help but smile as she looked at the scene before her, and took out her camera to snap many photos!

"Let's congratulate QG once again!"

Host Sjokz took to the stage, laughing and shouting, "Let's welcome Riot Games co-founders Ryze and Tryndamere to the stage to present the championship trophy!"

Chen Dongqing put down the trophy and consciously stood in a row with his teammates in the center of the stage.

They have experience when it comes to receiving awards.

After the two CEOs took the stage, they first waved and smiled at the audience, and then picked up the medals and hung them around the necks of the QG players.

These two are old acquaintances of Chen Dongqing, having received awards from them for several consecutive years.

Chen Dongqing bent down so Ryze could hang the medal on his body, and then he heard the other say, "Will we meet like this again at the World Championship at the end of the year?"

After MSI, you ask if you can win the World Championship? Who asks that?

Chen Dongqing smiled and shook hands with Ryze, then joked, "If your designers weren't so targeting QG, maybe we'd meet again."

Ryze chuckled and patted Chen Dongqing on the shoulder, saying, "Didn't you notice? This year's version isn't going against your QG team."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dongqing was suddenly taken aback.

It seems that's true.

After QG won their first championship in S6, they faced inhuman targeting from the designers in the S7 season, who directly changed the S7 Spring Split to a tank meta.

Seeing that the tank version couldn't stop QG, they then released the Ardent Censer version in the second half of the year, heavily supporting the bottom lane.

As we've seen, Uzi reaped the benefits, and QG once again achieved legendary status.

But it seems that this didn't happen in S8.

QG's popular Kleptomancy Viktor and Irelia picks from the Spring Split both survived well until MSI.

At this time, in Santa Monica, Los Angeles

Riot's numerical designers were sitting in a conference room, watching QG player Wang Guan being crowned.

The designers in the audience didn't seem to care. Even Ghost Crab, who had always been at odds with QG and had advocated preventing QG from winning the championship last year, had come to terms with it.

Ghostcrawler's previous philosophy was that if a team could consistently win championships, it meant their version design had failed.

But after QG's comeback victory last year, Ghostcrab finally understood.

It wasn't a failure in their version design; it was simply that the QG team was too strong.

Given that they had already modified the game to an extremely unbalanced state, which could be considered a true failure, QG still won the championship, so there's nothing more to say about it.

Furthermore, after S7 ended, Riot's two CEOs held a special meeting with Ghostcrawler, which further convinced him to abandon the idea of ​​nerfing QG.

At this point, Meddler, the numerical designer below, asked, "Our reworked Irelia has helped QG so much. Should we continue with the rework plans for the next two champions?"

"You mean the reworks of Aatrox and Akali?" Ghostcrawler thought for a moment and then said, "Let's continue, it doesn't matter."

On stage, the awards ceremony was still ongoing.

"Next up is the FMVP award!" Sjokz waved his hand and said, "Please, Tryndamere, announce the winner!"

Tryndamere stood in front of the microphone, slowly opened the envelope in his hand, and saw the answer on it.

He shouted, "The winner of the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational Finals MVP is QG.ilex! Congratulations!"

On the contestant's bench, Chen Dongqing was slightly surprised to hear his ID being read out.

He really didn't expect to be the MVP of this game.

Since the opponents aren't particularly strong, today's main focus is on who can kill the opponent the fastest.

In this deadly speed race, Chen Dongqing's statistics are not as outstanding as before.

In the first game, Chen Dongqing won the MVP with his outstanding performance with Illaoi, but compared to his teammates, he was not outstanding.

Needless to say, the MVP of the second game was Uzi, and the MVP of the third game is unknown, but it probably won't be him, since he only had four kills until the end, barely catching up with Xiaohu who had ten minutes left.

Standing nearby, Xiangguo chuckled and scolded, "Hurry up and claim your prize! What are you standing there for?"

Chen Dongqing said smugly, "Do you even need to tell me?"

Since the FMVP award was given to him, he had no reason not to accept it.

Chen Dongqing stepped forward and accepted the FMVP trophy from Tryndamere.

Meanwhile, the big screen at the venue also displayed Chen Dongqing's data from the three games.

Game1（Illaoi）：KDA2-1-4，伤害占比33%，承伤占比35%

Game2（Jayce）：KDA3-0-6，伤害占比32%，承伤占比18%，

Game3（Camille）：KDA4-0-4，伤害占比28%，承伤占比30%

Looking at the entire BO5, you can see that although Chen Dongqing's KD in a single game is not outstanding, and his highest is only four kills per game, his data is surprisingly exaggerated and stable!

When playing a warrior hero, you maximize both damage output and damage absorption, while when playing a poke hero like Jayce, you remain completely unscathed, minimizing your damage absorption percentage!

Most importantly, he only died once in the entire BO5 series, and that one death helped the team secure Baron Nashor, resulting in a total K/D ratio of 23.

She can play a heavy fighter like Illaoi, carrying the entire team single-handedly; she can play a light fighter like Camille, with precise and accurate movements; and she can play a poke champion like Jayce, dominating the entire field.

After Chen Dongqing debuted, many people called him "Super Top Laner," a style completely different from other top laners.

Today's data is the best illustration of the term "super top laner".

Wow, God!

[I was shocked when I saw these stats. I always thought Brother Shu was playing pretty passively in the first two games, but I didn't expect him to be this strong!]

[Brother Tree never messes up. Even if he goes 0-0-0, his damage and damage taken are still maxed out. You have no idea where he got those stats.]

This is QG's anchor! You don't feel his impact when QG is ahead, but once QG falls behind, he immediately comes alive!

Upon hearing the familiar ID, Sjokz smiled and said, "Then, please invite Ilex to come to our side."

Chen Dongqing took two steps forward and saw Vincent walk up to him and give him a thumbs up.

Chen Dongqing smiled and gave Vincent a look.

"After winning this FMVP, you've achieved an unprecedented three-peat at MSI," Sjokz said. "Do you have anything to say?"

After listening to the translation, Chen Dongqing thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "I was quite surprised when I found out I was the FMVP, because everyone performed very well today. I felt that my performance was not particularly outstanding in the team. If the FMVP had been given to another teammate, I wouldn't have been surprised."

"So, of course, I want to thank my teammates first; we are the best League of Legends team!"

After Chen Dongqing finished speaking, he raised the trophy in his hand and smiled, "Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if I got the FMVP. So I also want to thank Riot Games and the audience for their recognition. I will definitely continue to work hard."

"After today's match, QG has accomplished many unprecedented feats!" Sjokz said with a smile. "Tell us your thoughts on the victory."

After listening to Vincent's translation, Chen Dongqing nodded and said, "This is an exciting match. Before the match started, we all knew that if we won 3-0 today, we would achieve a perfect record and win the championship."

"We were all holding our breath for this goal, and we played with extreme caution during the match. Fortunately, we succeeded and achieved our goal."

Vincent's translation conveyed these words throughout the venue, eliciting cheers from countless audience members.

Sjokz continued with a smile, "The end of MSI means that half of the S8 season is over. What are ilex's goals for the rest of the season?"

"I've said this before: QG's goal for 2018 is to win all the championships, just like in S6 and S7!" Chen Dongqing said with a smile. "So QG only needs to do one thing in the second half of this year: win every single game!"

Upon hearing this, the cheers from the audience grew louder and louder, seemingly unstoppable.

The European fans in the audience now have a very good impression of QG, especially Chen Dongqing.

He predicted a perfect record at MSI before the tournament, but after achieving his goal and winning the FMVP, he remained humble and attributed the credit to his teammates.

Arrogance and humility combined in one person. Moreover, he is both strong and handsome, and these advantages almost directly hit the G-spot of European audiences.

They'd love for their European team to unleash their ultimate financial power and use a ton of euros to lure this player to Europe!

My grandma and Ilex can both win!

Chen Dongqing, of course, had no idea what the audience below was thinking. He stood on the stage, looking at the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, and waved with a smile.

His gaze swept across the audience, and he quickly spotted the familiar face in a corner of the front row.

Lin Yuanhua was excitedly holding a cheering stick and jumping around in the audience, seemingly quite thrilled.

Under the spotlight, Chen Dongqing finally saw the sticker on Lin Yuanhua's right cheek.

It was a chibi version of Chen Dongqing, wearing QG's team uniform from last year, holding a small trophy. It was quite cute.

Chen Dongqing smiled and waved to his girlfriend, then bowed to the audience and said in simple English, "Thank you for your support, see you at the World Championships!"

At this point, Chen Dongqing returned to the team, and Sjokz then posed the question to the remaining QG players, asking them about their feelings on winning the championship.

The last person to be interviewed, Xiao Hu, gave the most sincere speech about winning the championship, taking the opportunity to lavish praise on his father and father.

After all the interviews were over, Sjokz concluded by saying, "Okay, the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational has come to an end. Thank you to all the teams for their amazing performances, and thank you to the audience around the world for your support. See you next time!"

After the awards ceremony, the two presidents of Riot Games came over and took a group photo with the QG team, thus concluding the awards ceremony.

Holding the FMVP trophy in his left hand and a medal around his neck, Chen Dongqing waved goodbye to the two CEOs and then tried to grab the MSI trophy in the middle, as usual.

Unfortunately, this time Xiangguo was one step ahead, rushing straight to the center of the field, picking up the golden MSI Cup and heading backstage!

"Holy crap! Stop running!" Chen Dongqing quickly followed, rushing straight backstage.

When you get backstage, it's incredibly lively.

All the QG staff who had traveled to Europe with the team rushed out to welcome the trophy.

Photographer Ichimura arrived and immediately grabbed the trophy and started snapping photos of everyone, leaving behind countless pictures.

Chen Dongqing stiffly completed the photo-taking task, and then someone else found him.

This time it's the FNC players.

FNC, playing on their home turf in Europe, didn't rush back to Finland. Instead, they stayed to watch the final match and are now backstage celebrating QG's victory.

Caps was all smiles, looking a bit like Mr. Bean, and immediately wanted to take a photo with Chen Dongqing.

Chen Dongqing did not refuse, and after taking a photo together, the two agreed to exchange autographed team jerseys later.

After FNC left, it was the commentary team's turn again.

That's right. After arriving in Paris, the commentary team provided on-site commentary, so Godwin made a special trip all the way to Paris this time.

Of course, Tencent Esports paid for this part-time job during the off-season.

Chen Dongqing greeted his old teammate with a smile, saying, "How come you have so much time? Aren't you supposed to be competing?"

Godwin, on the other hand, was quite nonchalant: "That goes without saying, we were eliminated."

It can only be said that 4AM's first year in competitions was not ideal.

Chen Dongqing patted his old friend on the shoulder, shook his head helplessly, and smiled, "Take it slow."

Besides Gao Dewei, Doinb, the commentator from the day before yesterday, also came over to take a look at the MSI trophy in front of him.

Doinb hadn't seen this gleaming golden trophy in two years; he'd been dreaming about it.

Xiao Hu stood there dumbfounded.

The epic meeting of QG's three former mid laners happened out of nowhere.

Seeing this, Yicun, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but glare and immediately raised his camera to snap a picture.

In the video, Doinb is looking at the trophy, Gao Dewei and Chen Dongqing are chatting, while Xiaohu, with a medal around his neck, is holding Chen Dongqing's FMVP trophy and standing there dumbly.

After Chen Dongqing finished exchanging pleasantries with the commentators and his old teammates, he soon heard from Linko that there was a group interview with reporters.

This was a standard procedure after winning the championship, and Chen Dongqing couldn't refuse. He took out his phone from his backpack and then sat down in the interview room.

Before the reporters in front of him could take their seats, Chen Dongqing took out his phone and checked out some online forums in China.

This year, the domestic competition was held on Sunday afternoon at 6 pm, which can be described as the prime time. Except for the unfortunate high school students who had to attend evening self-study the day before, almost everyone else was in front of their computers on time to watch the competition.

Therefore, the popularity of the anti-racism forum was exceptionally high at this moment, even though the match had only ended less than half an hour ago. When Chen Dongqing entered the forum, he saw that the rating post already had thousands of replies.

Such a crucial post was not to be missed, so Chen Dongqing immediately clicked on it.

Before the official account of the performing arts troupe could post the contestants' photos, countless netizens went wild in the comments section of the post!

[Wuhu, QG will always be a legend!]

Do you even understand the significance of MSI 16-0?

[Should our next goal be to achieve a perfect record in the World Championship?]

[This might seem far-fetched for other teams, but for QG, it actually feels quite possible!]

If QG can achieve a perfect record in the World Championship and win three consecutive titles, they will truly be considered legends. The game of League of Legends has become unbalanced because of them.

There's nothing we can do, QG is just too strong. Several of their players fought their way up to become the world's number one, which is inherently unbalanced.

It's truly outrageous that the world's best top laner, the world's best jungler, and the world's best AD carry would actually meet in a small team like QG.

When fans talked about this, they were filled with sighs.

The two main carries ensure the team's strength, while the jungler ensures their development.

The triangular structure formed by the three players is stable and powerful. No matter how many times QG changes its mid-laner, their strength will always have a very high floor.

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but grin.

Why would we meet in such a small place like QG?

That's obvious, I was the one who orchestrated it!

If I hadn't brought Xiangguo to join QG, QG would probably have disbanded on the spot in the 16 Spring Split due to the split between the mid and jungle players, and there wouldn't have been any of the later events.

Chen Dongqing then continued scrolling down and finally saw her official makeup photo.

[God among gods! The world's best top laner! Hanabi on the opposing team is like a toy in your hands]

Your Camille made me lose 20 points.

[I'm not getting as many kills as before, and I haven't had a single godlike performance. Next time, I can't afford to get so few kills.]

[There's nothing we can do about it; Xiangguo didn't gank top lane in these three games, so Shuge was playing solo, which explains his lower kill count.]

QG's plan for the last game was to focus on the top lane, but they only managed to gank the top lane once. As a result, they achieved a huge 1-for-3 exchange in the bottom lane. Xiangguo adapted to the situation and simply let Chen Dongqing play alone, while focusing on the bottom lane.

This resulted in Chen Dongqing spending most of the BO5 playing solo against Hanabi on the opposing team.

Fortunately, Chen Dongqing has always been good at solo performances.

Chen Dongqing continued scrolling down and saw Xiangguo's comment: "[God among gods, the world's number one jungler, Moojin on the other side is like a toy in your hands]."

Chen Dongqing continued scrolling down and saw Uzi: [God among gods, the world's best AD carry, Betty on the other side is like a toy in your hands!]

Because their opponents were too weak, all five members of QG played like gods of war today.

Chen Dongqing glanced at the ratings on the other side and could see that the netizens didn't seem to have much hostility towards the Flash Wolves. They were mostly speaking with the attitude that "it's right for a father to beat his son."

Chen Dongqing left the rating thread and looked at other posts.

Another post quickly caught his attention.

[Reposting some posts from a Taiwanese underworld forum]

Chen Dongqing immediately became interested upon seeing the post.

The most interesting thing is always the wailing and lamentation from the losers on the forums after each match.

[Flashy Wolf, do you dare to attack?! Damn! Where's your LMS momentum?]

[This guy calls himself a five-time LMS champion? That's hilarious!]

[Betty is really funny. She lost Uzi's life but got Uzi's illness. Are Kai'Sa and Ezreal even the champions you play?]

[XDDDD The person upstairs is too strict; making it to the finals this time is enough!]

[Haha, that's true. You didn't really think Betty or Hanabi could beat QG's two powerhouses, did you? It's going to be very difficult!]

Losing to QG isn't shameful at all; didn't you see how much Fengtang was laughing?

Chen Dongqing squinted and finally saw the text against the black background of the underworld forum, but found it uninteresting.

What's going on? Why is this not the style he imagined?

What about those timeless tropes like sending mice home and having them swim back?

Are Taiwanese netizens really that kind?

It can only be said that Taiwan's goals are not as grand as those of LCK; for them, reaching the finals is already a success.

There's not much to criticize about successful people.

Just as Chen Dongqing was about to continue scrolling, the reporters in front of him were finally ready and the interview began.

Chen Dongqing simply put away his phone. As the reporter's main target today, he certainly wouldn't have time to secretly play on his phone.

The reporters' questions were mostly the same, and Chen Dongqing, being a seasoned interviewer, naturally didn't make any mistakes, responding to each one with standard answers.

Interestingly, Chen Dongqing also noticed that the brown-haired man with a middle parting from ESPN still came to the scene.

It seems ESPN's esports channel is still short-staffed.

After the interview, Chen Dongqing greeted the other party with a smile, and then finally regained his freedom.

For the QG team, this year's MSI has finally come to an end.

Xiao Hu and Uzi rubbed their stomachs, discussing where to eat later, when Chen Dongqing leaned over and said, "I'm having dinner with my girlfriend tonight, so I won't be eating with you guys."

Linko didn't even turn his head: "Fine, if we win, you can eat whatever you want."

Chen Dongqing nodded, turned around to pack his things, handed his backpack to Xiaohu to take back to the hotel, and then left first, finding his girlfriend at the backstage passage.

Lin Yuanhua never interfered with Chen Dongqing's celebrations; she knew her boyfriend would come to her after he finished celebrating.

Chen Dongqing smiled and went over to his girlfriend, hooking his arm around her shoulder, sniffing her hair, and started chatting casually.

"Shall we go out for dinner later?"

"Let's go! I know you've been waiting impatiently. I've made a reservation at a French restaurant!" Lin Yuanhua said with a grin. "This is the victory banquet prepared for the champion!"

Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Did you arrange this in advance? What if I don't win the championship?"

Lin Yuanhua then laughed and said, "That's a healing meal prepared for disheartened e-sports teenagers."

Chen Dongqing smiled, took his girlfriend's hand, and walked towards the restaurant.

Lin Yuanhua found this restaurant online before arriving in Paris, and now that QG has finally won the championship, of course she had to check it out.

Of course, Chen Dongqing wasn't used to French food; it was too bland. He was just accompanying his girlfriend to check it off his list.

After we had eaten and drunk our fill, night had fallen in Paris.

Chen Dongqing and his girlfriend strolled hand in hand along the Seine River in Paris.

Walking along the Seine, a melody inexplicably came to Chen Dongqing's mind.

"Cafés on the Left Bank of the Seine~"

That's right, it's not Jay Chou's version, but Teacher Ma's version.

But after thinking about it, Chen Dongqing ultimately decided not to sing it; it would be too awkward.

Beside her, Lin Yuanhua was still typing away on her phone, studying what kind of caption to add to the photos she had just taken.

Chen Dongqing was too lazy to participate in his girlfriend's brain-teasing phase; he simply walked forward quietly.

Soon, a building gleaming with golden light slowly came into view. Although Chen Dongqing was not a local, he could tell the name of the building just by squinting at it.

The Eiffel Tower is located on the banks of the Seine.

At this time, all the lights on the tower were lit up, and they were quite dazzling under the night sky.

Lin Yuanhua looked up and saw the iron tower not far away. She immediately exclaimed with delight, "Let's go, let's go take a few more pictures!"

After saying that, she grabbed Chen Dongqing's arm and quickly moved forward.

Chen Dongqing rolled her eyes, but she was quick on her feet. The two of them jogged all the way to the Eiffel Tower and found a perfect spot for taking photos.

This is a well-known photo spot, located on the opposite bank of the river from the Eiffel Tower, on the stairs of a skybridge.

On this staircase, the slanted handrail forms a natural dividing line, placing the night view of the Eiffel Tower in the upper left of the image, while the people are in the lower right, creating a harmonious scene.

Just as Lin Yuanhua was holding her camera, studying which angle to take a picture from, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Chen Dongqing.

"What do you mean? You didn't call us when you took the photos?" The voice was tinged with laughter; it belonged to Chen Dongqing's old teammate, Xiangguo.

Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow, turned around, and saw that the QG team members were all there, slowly walking up from downstairs.

Lin Yuanhua looked down and glared at them, saying, "Hey, what are you all doing here?"

Shi Senming said with a grin, "What's wrong? Did I interrupt your private time?"

"No, no, what's the matter?" Chen Dongqing laughed, "You've come at the perfect time, how about we take a picture together? This spot is unbeatable."

"Come on in!" The QG team, sensing the arrival, immediately greeted them warmly: "This spot is really good!"

Lin Yuanhua was already quite familiar with everyone. Just like last year in Shanghai, she volunteered to be the photographer, and she called out with a smile, "Come on, champions, line up facing me!"

Xiao Hu immediately found his uncle, hooked his arm around Chen Dongqing's neck, and risked his life to sit on the stair railing.

At this moment, if he leaned back, he would fall straight down, essentially putting his life and fortune on his uncle's shoulders.

The remaining team members were arranged on either side of the two players. Xiaohu's left was Xiangguo, and Xiangguo's left was the substitute, Letme.

To Chen Dongqing's right is Uzi, and to Uzi's right is Shi Senming.

The six QG players, with their backs to the brightly lit Eiffel Tower and facing Lin Yuanhua's camera, all grinned foolishly.

With a series of clicks from the point-and-shoot camera, several photos were thus preserved.

After taking the photos, Lin Yuanhua handed the camera to Chen Dongqing and told him to look at them himself.

The QG team members also swarmed around to see how the photos turned out.

Straight men have no idea how to take photos; they only care about how handsome they look. After seeing the photos, they all nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Looking at the photo, Chen Dongqing inexplicably recalled a group photo of QG from two years ago.

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in 16, and the China World Trade Center in Shanghai in 17.

QG seems to have a habit of taking a group photo before winning the championship every year.

In just two years, QG won every major championship they could.

And now, the 18 version of QG has also taken a group photo in Paris.

Hopefully, version 18 will continue until the end of the season, just like the previous two versions.

PS: Thank you to my friend Wuyou for the 500 Qidian Coins donation.
