League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Chapter 355 The Topic Terminator

The chat in Li Chen's live stream was now in a chaotic frenzy, with various factions taking turns to appear.

[Good pick, good shot, center position, you're the bravest!]

Why isn't Jayce here? I'm asking you, why isn't Jayce here? Doesn't my noble aristocratic councilor deserve him?

[I suddenly see a resemblance to someone I know on your face. Are you going to try and learn how to use reverse Q?]

【Is Vayne even a pick for you? Don't you even look in the mirror? Are you that fat?】

【You have committed the sin of arrogance, unforgivable, C!】

Is this year's World Championship going to cripple another God?

Li Chen watched as netizens vehemently protested against the various sarcastic remarks in the live stream while simultaneously showering the comments with likes on Weibo, and he silently revealed a look of approval.

Even if they don't want to talk about it, netizens are still pretty awesome.

However, at that moment, Li Chen noticed that a new force had suddenly appeared in the live stream's chat.

This force does not belong to birth, nor to pig farms or starch, nor even to royal condiments; it is a brand new force that has never been seen before.

Don't ask why Li Chen could recognize them at a glance, because these people's comments were so distinctive, almost all of them were about EDG's lineup for this year's World Championship.

Some people indirectly asked who EDG plans to bring as a substitute this year, while others said that EDG's strongest lineup right now consists of five players.

Li Chen's only response to these people was to ignore them.

No matter how high these people jump, someone definitely won't be able to go to the World Championship. They can just watch from home. Instead of wasting time, they should go to 58.com to look for a job.

Seemingly realizing that this kind of trending was not very effective, a new trend appeared on the screen after a while.

[Hey streamer, I heard someone bet two million on EDG to come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 today.]

[C, you're not rigging the match, are you? That's illegal.]

Making money is fine, but not this kind of money. This streamer has disappointed me greatly.

[Wait, where did these demons and monsters come from?]

How much does one comment cost? Let's earn some together!

Some fans in the live stream noticed something was wrong and started arguing with the paid commenters, but this played right into their hands.

They are not afraid of arguing with people, but they are afraid of not being able to argue and being ignored. Only by arguing can they have a rhythm to lead.

As more and more netizens paid attention to these topics and the discussion intensified, Li Chen smiled slightly and decided to personally step in to end the controversy.

As a part-time top streamer, he naturally has his own tricks for ending topics and controlling the flow of the chat. Now that online trolls are rampant, he has begun to unleash his secret weapon, the real rhythm-ending weapon.

"Brothers, there are some things I don't want to emphasize again here. Those who know, know; those who don't, I don't want to say more. After all, those who know, know; we've seen this kind of thing many times, you understand it yourself. Now, let's insert a highlight reel of my gameplay, okay?"

As Li Chen spoke, he found a file on the desktop, clicked to open it, and found various videos inside.

Most of the videos are titled with the number of kills on a certain day of a certain month, but there are some different ones, and these are the videos that netizens are really paying attention to.

For example, the factory manager's wet temptation, Ah Guang's midnight rendezvous, zet...

[Holy crap, holy crap, what did I just see?!]

[C, hurry up and open it so I can see it, just one glance!]

Is this the underlying logic behind EDG's team operations?

[C, what exactly did you do to your teammates? Come at me if you dare!]

Something's really off about you guys.

With just a few simple video titles, the rhythm that the live stream had just started with online trolls instantly went off track.

What do they care about match-fixing or betting?

As long as Li Chen is still winning, what difference does it make whether he buys or not? If people dare to bet on a winning hand, they'll just say "C is awesome!"

Instead of focusing on those things, you might as well watch these videos. After all, we've seen plenty of professional players betting on matches, but we've never heard of such a passionate and exciting player exchange match.

Time flies, and the next day, the battle for the last LPL spot in this year's World Championship finally began.

In the previous Summer Split finals, EDG defeated RNG and won the LPL Summer Split championship, securing the number one seed for the S7 World Championship.

RNG, as a top-four team in the Spring Split and runner-up in the Summer Split, ranks second in the standings, only behind EDG.

Therefore, with EDG winning the championship and advancing, RNG automatically took the top spot in the standings and became the LPL's second seed to qualify for the S7 World Championship.

This year, the LPL still has one third seed spot, which will be contested by the three teams at the bottom of the standings: WE, IG, and OMG.

On the afternoon of September 2nd, the first qualifying match began, with IG facing off against OMG.

In this match, the strength of IG's lineup for next year was already evident. Facing the fierce attacks from IG's top, mid, and jungle players, OMG had almost no chance to fight back and was easily defeated 3-0 by IG.

The EDG team members also watched the match at the base. After watching, Clearlove narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "IG's current lineup seems to have something special. They actually beat OMG 3-0. It's really hard to say who will be the third seed."

Ah Guang followed up, saying, "Their top laner played very aggressively in lane. When I was laning against him, he kept trying to kill me, but his awareness was terrible. He didn't care where the junglers were at all."

nofe nodded in agreement and commented: "IG's playstyle is somewhat similar to ours. They also pursue early-game aggression from the top, mid, and jungle to open up the situation. However, they are still too immature in terms of early-game tempo and mid-game minion wave management, and they have many weaknesses."

Even if they make it to Worlds, they'll struggle to compete with the top teams right now, and they pose no threat to us. After all, if we focus on the top lane, we're not afraid of any team, including IG.

This viewpoint was unanimously agreed upon, after all, the highest mountain on the road was right next to where people were eating Zhang Liang Malatang.

Li Chen slurped down a mouthful of wide rice noodles, wiped his mouth, and said, "IG's chances of making it to Worlds are very low. Their weaknesses are too obvious, and WE is not weak now. IG probably won't be able to get past this hurdle. The third seed should still be WE."

This year can be considered WE's last moment of glory. As the third seed of LPL, they fought their way from the play-in stage to the semifinals. Although they were ultimately eliminated by the eventual champion team Samsung, their overall performance was still good, at least much better than EDG.

Even now, after so long since his transmigration and rebirth, he still can't forget EDG's 'wonderful' performance at the S7 World Championship.
