League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 455 The Exquisite Tower

Maru stared at the word "Failure" that popped up in front of her, finding it hard to accept and unsure of what to say.

The fact that he was able to represent South Korea in this Asian Games means that he is also the strongest person who has crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. He is a champion and a genius.

Under normal circumstances, South Korea's representative athletes are basically guaranteed to be world champions.

Just like in Chinese table tennis, the competition for domestic spots is often even fiercer than at the Olympics.

But this is not the usual situation.

The times have changed.

The current situation is that South Korea has become the starting village, with bloodshed happening within their ranks, until the strongest warrior emerges and challenges the great demon king from abroad.

The result of the challenge was that as soon as the hero left the beginner village, he encountered the ruthless Demon King and was knocked down by the Demon King with a single slap.

This is a devastating blow to the hero.

Maru had a mental breakdown.

He waited until the Great Demon King walked right up to him before he stood up in a daze and shook hands with him.

The Demon King left only the words "Good Game" before turning and leaving.

Seeing the Great Demon King's relaxed and carefree appearance, Maru suddenly realized something.

I doubt this guy was even taking it seriously.

I'm so sorry I couldn't get Ilex to use her full strength.

At this time in China, the StarCraft Old Boys live stream room.

Huang Xudong and Sun Yifeng started their live stream on time, chatting with viewers while waiting for the match results.

Since the qualifiers are not broadcast live, no one knows the results yet.

Shuangxie knew a few people at the scene, so the two of them were waiting for news to come from there.

While waiting for news, Huang Xudong rubbed his hands together, saying, "This match is crucial! If we can take down Maru, then this round is really in the bag!"

"I don't know if it'll work!" Sun Yifeng said with some concern. "Brother Shu hasn't played StarCraft for half a year, can he still keep up?"

At this point, the comments section was buzzing with discussion.

Indeed, it feels better to let time do its work.

[It's not that bad. Brother Shu is a champion after all. Even if he doesn't play for half a year, he's still better than Time.]

That makes sense, but the other side is also very strong. Maru is incredibly powerful this year.

It's okay, trust Brother Tree.

Amidst the murmurs, Huang Xudong's phone beeped. He immediately pulled out his phone and saw a WeChat message with just two simple words:

We won.

Huang Xudong was overjoyed and typed, "How did you win?"

The reply came back: [Completely crushed]

"Good, good, good!" The old man burst into laughter, shouting, "Brothers, Brother Shu has humiliated Ma Ru!"

In that instant, the live stream chat exploded with comments, and everyone was changing their faces like they were performing Sichuan opera!

[I told you long ago, Brother Tree has the talent; he'll be invincible even if he doesn't play for half a year.]

That's talent!

Do you even understand the significance of one taking on seven opponents?

[Even Lu Bu got beaten 4-0 by Tree Bro, what's Maru compared to that?]

Huang Xudong and Sun Yifeng looked at the comments on the screen, exchanged a glance, and their eyes were filled with joy.

We've already taken down the toughest opponent, South Korea. So our qualification for this tournament should be a sure thing!

At this moment, Chen Dongqing also removed his peripherals and left the stage.

His next match is in the fifth inning, with a break in between.

Chen Dongqing smiled as he walked to his teammates' seats and asked, "How was it? Not bad, right?"

QG members and Meiko didn't know much about StarCraft, but they still knew how cleanly Chen Dongqing won the last game, so they all gave him a thumbs up!

Xiangguo smiled and asked, "The Koreans have all won, so things shouldn't be too difficult from here on out, right?"

Chen Dongqing grinned and said, "Don't worry, you can torture me all you want."

There are a total of seven countries or regions in East Asia participating in the e-sports events at the Asian Games: China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Mongolia.

After crushing South Korea, the remaining opponents are no problem at all.

The following day, Chen Dongqing stayed in the venue except for lunch, always ready to go on stage.

All I can say is that the schedule is quite tight.

Besides Chen Dongqing, who waited a whole day, domestic interstellar viewers, as well as Huang and Sun, also waited a whole day.

Fortunately, all the news that came back was good.

[Brother Tree utterly humiliated Mongolia!]

[Tree Bro utterly humiliated HK!]

[Tree Bro has utterly humiliated Macao!]

[Tree Bro really tortured Wanwan!]

[Brother Tree utterly annihilated the Japanese devils!]

The whole day was torture!

Finally, the results of the competition were announced.

CHN.ilex, with a score of 6-0, successfully qualified for the main event of the StarCraft 2 competition at the Asian Games.

Along with him, Maru from South Korea and Nice from Taiwan also qualified.

There wasn't enough time to rest for long.

Time flies, and it's June 1st.

Chen Dongqing returned to the stage as a professional League of Legends player to begin the League of Legends qualifiers.

League of Legends tournaments are relatively slow and require a long preparation time, so these six matches will be played over three days. On the first day, the Chinese team's opponents are South Korea and Japan.

Similar to yesterday's StarCraft competition, since the qualifiers weren't broadcast live, viewers could only learn about the matches through rumors.

Even before the competition had started, some netizens posted on the Anti-Japanese War forum, saying they were at the competition venue and even posted photos of the event, saying they would provide text commentary for everyone.

Once the post was published, it became extremely popular, with countless forum members urging the poster to hurry up and finish.

After a short wait, the author's written explanation finally began.

[They're here! They're here! The Chinese and South Korean teams have taken the field! (Images) (Images)]

The audience glanced at the lineups on both sides and, for some reason, felt a little relieved.

On one side is the entire QG team, a reliable force.

On the other side is Smeb, Peanut, and Ruler.

This is a trustworthy opponent! Aren't they all defeated by QG?

What is this ultimate version of the Avengers?

With this confidence, the match began quickly.

[QG had a bad start, making a fatal mistake in a 3v3 situation in the river at level two! (Image)]

With the commentary accompanying the video, the audience knew that Xiangguo had made a mistake. Gragas used E-flash to enter the fray, trying to coordinate with Chen Dongqing and Xiaohu to get a kill, but his burst damage at level two was ultimately too low, allowing Peanut to use Flash to create distance.

The South Korean team then launched a counterattack, eliminating both Xiangguo and Xiaohu.

What's going on? Such a huge disadvantage from the start?

The members of the anti-racism group sensed something was wrong, but they decided to wait and see.

A few minutes later, the original poster posted again.

[QG makes a series of blunders! Their mid and jungle players give away a huge advantage! (Image)]

In this scene, Xiangguo tried to get back at Faker in the mid lane and knock him down, but unfortunately he was a little short of it and ended up with a two-for-one trade.

what?

Why is it getting worse and worse?

That won't do!

Five more minutes passed.

[QG is in a tough fight! Their mid and jungle are at a huge disadvantage, and even their top laner, Tree, is being tower-dived! (Image)]

During the commentary, the disadvantage in the mid and jungle lanes dragged down the top lane. Although Chen Dongqing's Riven had a significant advantage in the laning phase, the opposing mid and jungle laners ganked him from the top lane together, resulting in a three-on-one gank and his death under the tower.

Oh no! Tree Bro has fallen over!

Countless netizens exclaimed that this was bad news.

QG's pillars have all fallen, is there any hope for them this game?

Looks like we'll have to trust Uzi this time.

Thirty minutes have passed.

The original poster has updated again.

[QG's desperate struggle! In the Baron team fight, Uzi's Kai'Sa was also instantly killed! QG lost Baron, and the gap between the two sides reached 8,000! (Image)]

send!

Uzbekistan also sent one, then we're doomed.

At this moment, the members of the Anti-Japanese Forum comforted themselves.

It's not a big problem. The main issue was that we didn't play well in the first two rounds, and the snowball effect got too big. It was an unexpected situation.

Anyway, this is just a qualifying round. As long as we can advance to the main tournament, winning or losing doesn't matter.

The post has been updated again.

QG won!

Countless people were dumbfounded.

What's going on? Weren't they making a series of blunders? Weren't they struggling to survive? How did they win?

Through the pictures and subsequent textual explanations posted by the original poster, everyone understood everything.

Having secured Baron Nashor, the South Korean team is united and determined to launch a final push as a group.

But then, a problem arose.

The South Korean team was, after all, a temporary team, and the five players all had different vision systems, which inevitably led to weaknesses.

Taking advantage of this opening, Chen Dongqing's Riven, equipped with three items, had already silently circled around to the rear of the main Korean team.

Countdown 3, 2, 1, start the attack! Chen Dongqing in the back and Xiangguo in the front attack simultaneously!

Riven used E to draw her sword, then Q over the wall, followed by Flash and W, stunning Ruler's Xayah with her roar. She then followed up with a combo of R followed by Ravenous, bringing him down to below half health!

On the front, Xiangguo also used his E skill to enter the fray, followed by an R to knock up and control the enemy, preventing Ruler from using his ultimate.

The next instant, Uzi and Kai'Sa used Hunter's Instinct to enter the fray, followed by an A and a Q to put Xayah, who was stuck in mid-air, into a trap!

The perfect collaboration between Chen Dongqing, Xiangguo, and Uzi sent Ruler, who had both big and flashy abilities, straight back to the fountain!

This move instantly reversed the nearly 10,000-yuan economic gap, with the five Chinese players surrounding the remaining four South Korean players and launching a siege!

After Ruler, it's Faker's turn!

Xiaohu's Syndra immediately flashed and used her RE combo on Faker, forcibly stunning him!

Ultimately, at the cost of Xiaohu being substituted, the Chinese team, trailing by 8,000, executed a perfect one-for-five exchange, and then ended the game.

Everyone was delighted to see the result.

【Okay, okay!】

This is the perfect flavor!

Haha, QG's team fights are still fierce; they turned the game around just like that.

The main problem in the early stages was with the two levels of government; otherwise, the Koreans wouldn't have had the chance to show off.

[As long as we won, I can relax now.]

[Don't rush, there's still a part about fighting the Japanese later. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong this time, and we'll give those devils a good beating!]

Two hours after the break, the post was bumped up again as the Chinese team faced their second match of the day – against Japan.

Xiangguo, radiating a fierce fighting spirit, excitedly shouted, "This game is crucial, brothers! We can't afford to lose to them, can we?"

Chen Dongqing smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, how could we possibly lose? Let Shi Senming go take a shower now, and we can win even if it's four against five."

Such opening remarks were commonplace within QG, and everyone laughed heartily, except for Abu, who was in charge of the draft phase, and dared not speak.

Upon hearing this, Uzi's temperature instantly rose by 50%, and he retorted from the side, "What the hell are you talking about? Why don't you go take a shower?"

Chen Dongqing shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, let's go right away. It's just a qualifier, it doesn't matter whether we play or not. I'll let Tian Ye play top lane, we should be able to win."

After saying that, Chen Dongqing was about to get up.

Abu quickly grabbed him and said, "Hey, hey, don't actually go!"

"Just kidding," Chen Dongqing said with a grin. "How could I possibly go? I'll be the one to fight the Japanese this time."

Abu thought for a moment and said, "So, what's the draft strategy for this game? Should we go top or bottom?"

"Is that even a question?" Chen Dongqing said confidently, "We'll definitely attack from both sides simultaneously! No, from all three sides! We'll just wipe them out!"

What is the skill level of League of Legends in Japan?

Chen Dongqing could boldly describe it as a paramecium—capable of carrying out simple life activities.

After all, this place is truly a gaming wasteland, with the main game genre being console games. In the future, two shooting games, Apex Legends and Valorant, did manage to break into this market, but LOL has never had a say in it.

The national team in this area is roughly at the Master level in the Chinese server's Rift.

Sending five masters to fight QG? It's like Tyson fighting Leo.

Japan's strongest player is their top laner, Evi, but unfortunately, China's strongest player is also their top laner.

At the start of the game, Xiangguo naturally focused on farming top lane, protecting the top laner and looking for opportunities to tower dive.

On the other side, the Japanese team's jungler had no choice but to hide and farm while moving downwards.

The rewards for river crabs have been greatly increased in this version, and they will spawn simultaneously in both the top and bottom rivers at the start of the game. The direct result of this change is that junglers can no longer farm in the offlane.

If you're at a disadvantage in the top lane and you keep farming there, you'll most likely end up losing both the river crab and the buff, because your teammates can't help you since you're at a disadvantage in the top lane.

In this situation, avoiding counter-farming and controlling the other side's crab to ensure development is the best strategy.

Within three minutes, Japan's top laner Evi was tower-dived and unsurprisingly gave up first blood.

It's really strange. This version's changes were clearly intended to help junglers quickly reach level 3, but in the end, it actually benefited QG's level 3 rush to engage.

It's true that no one can predict version changes. Often, every small change will trigger a whole chain of logical connections where one party is the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Seeing the top lane give up first blood, JPN's jungler wanted to get revenge in the bottom lane, but Uzi was not afraid at all. He called Xiaohu to teleport, and instead of retreating in a 2v3 situation, he launched a counterattack!

On the other side, JPN's mid laner also teleported to the bottom lane, but this teleport attracted QG's top laner Jayce's teleport!

Instantly, three Teleports appeared in the bottom lane, and a 4v4 team fight was about to break out!

This kind of fight left the audience dizzy and disoriented.

How did it become a 4v4 in the bottom lane in just three minutes?

Is the JPN team this bloody too?

Unfortunately, the result of this 4v4 was that Uzi, who was focused down, actually survived to the end, while Xiaohu and Chen Dongqing, who teleported down, went on a killing spree, leaving the Japanese team's mid, jungle, and support players alive.

A single exchange of zero for three seemed to signal the end of the game!

The Chinese team built a huge 4-0 lead in three minutes, and the rest of the game became simple. With advantages on three fronts, they only needed to play steadily and gradually expand their lead, and victory would be theirs!

"Play it safe, everyone!" Chen Dongqing, having just secured two more kills, recalled to base and upgraded to a Serrated Dagger. As he headed towards the top lane, he said, "Let's give them a good beating this time!"

Chen Dongqing's plans go beyond just winning.

Next, the Chinese team played extremely steadily, only engaging in fights when they had a numerical advantage, avoiding battles otherwise and focusing on strategic tower pushing!

Immediately afterwards, once both top and bottom laners had acquired enough equipment, a team fight completely extinguished the Japanese team's hopes of a comeback.

At 24 minutes and 43 seconds, the Chinese team secured the Baron Nashor, bringing the kill score to 22-0 and the economic difference to 13,000!

This was a one-sided thrashing!

After returning to base to resupply, the final push unfolded. The Japanese team launched a counterattack, but it failed to make any significant impact, only changing the kill score to 27-0 before watching their base explode.

The Japanese team spent 25 minutes and the Chinese team killed 27 of their dragons, with zero dragons and zero towers.

Domestic players have given this kind of game a very nice name.

Exquisite Tower!

I'll update a little early today, I'll be watching the game later.
