League: Educating LPL is my duty.

The release of the official player rankings immediately sparked discussions among netizens worldwide.

Following the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, the ID god丶C has once again captured the attention of League of Legends players worldwide.

Some bloggers on foreign websites seized the opportunity and began frantically uploading Li Chen's match highlights to attract traffic, which instantly raised Li Chen's popularity on foreign websites to a new level.

However, at this time, a completely different opinion was emerging in the domestic League of Legends community and the LCK community.

Ever since Li Chen publicly stated during his live stream that the three top laners in LCK are all very strong, some netizens have started making jokes about it, and it even trended on social media.

#god_C admits to being afraid of three top LCK top laners!#

#C-God is still a little afraid of Huni.#

#C God frankly admits he's no match for Khan, discussing in detail the terrifying nature of the three top laners in LCK.#

In a luxury hotel in Wuhan, two girls nestled on a sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at various news about Li Chen online on a tablet.

One of the cute girls, who looked a bit chubby, scrolled through the page for a while and couldn't help but say, "Sisi, your virtual husband is really wicked! Could these be all paid trolls he hired?"

Sisi rolled her eyes, picked up the tablet, and while liking the post, retorted, "What do you mean by 'bad'? These are all people smearing him, okay? Don't you understand something like that?"

The cute girl was speechless at Sisi's reaction and said, "I think it's hard to say. This isn't the first time your electronic husband has publicly set traps for others. Besides, didn't you say their team has already arrived in Wuhan? Why didn't they invite you out for a meal?"

"He said he's been a bit busy lately, he has to film a movie. Do you think everyone's like you, just eating and doing nothing all day?"

"...Heh, you're invincible..."

Li Chen, who was in a private room at a hot pot restaurant in Wuhan, sensed something and quickly covered his mouth with a tissue before sneezing.

"Damn it, who's been talking about me behind my back?"

Li Chen muttered something under his breath, then looked around and told Faker and the others next to him not to be shy and to eat more.

With only a few days left until the start of the League of Legends World Championship group stage, they had just finished filming the group stage promotional video today. Since they had nothing else to do, they went out for a casual meal together.

As the hosts, Li Chen and the factory manager naturally took on the role of the banquet organizers. Li Chen was mainly responsible for inviting people over, while the factory manager was responsible for paying for the banquet.

As everyone was enjoying their meal, Li Chen suddenly asked, "Sang-hyeok, what do you think of Khan's strength from the Dragon Ball team?"

Scout, acting on its translator instincts, immediately relayed Li Chen's original words.

Faker paused slightly as he held the tripe in his hand, still thinking about how to answer.

From a practical standpoint, he felt that Khan was definitely far inferior to Li Chen, but this was the World Championship after all, and it might be problematic to expose the weaknesses of their own region's teams. Moreover, they had just lost to Longzhu in the playoffs, so they didn't seem to have the right to make such a comment.

But to say that Khan is about the same as Li Chen, or even stronger than Li Chen, would be insulting and would make one seem like a liar.

After hesitating for a while, Faker finally said, "(⊙…⊙) I think Khan's skills are still very impressive, but we'll only know who's better after we face each other in a match."

"Oh, is that so?"

Li Chen nodded slightly, a satisfied look on his face.

So, after everyone returned to the hotel that evening after dinner, Li Chen promptly posted a Weibo message:

Today I had hot pot with some old friends, including Faker. It was delicious. During the meal, we talked about some top players from our two regions. Faker thinks Khan is very skilled and could very well beat me.

For Faker to give such high praise, Khan must be really good. But I'm not afraid. If Khan is really that strong, I hope to have a real showdown between top laners if we meet in the knockout stage.

The moment the video was uploaded to Weibo, Li Chen's followers received a notification, and many people went straight to Bengbu after watching it once.

[C, have some decency! Khan is still a child!]

[I feel like if C retires, he could write a book on esports strategy.]

[Huni: Although it's not about me, why does it feel strangely familiar?]

As everyone knows, C's biggest hater is himself.

Does Faker know you're taking things out of context like this?

[Do not take things out of context!]

Li Chen's Weibo post quickly caused a sensation in the community, and many netizens also tagged the Dragon Ball team's Weibo account, asking them to see Li Chen's "show of weakness" post.

However, the Dragon Ball team didn't see this Weibo post until the morning of the next day.

Cuzz, the jungler for Dragon Ball, sent the translated content to Khan and said, "Look, Donghe, this is a Weibo post from god_C, the top laner for EDG. He said Faker has a very high opinion of you, and he's scared."

Khan was a rather arrogant guy who always looked down on the LPL region. After quickly reading through the content, he didn't find anything wrong with it and thought it was understandable that Li Chen was afraid of him.

Mid-laner BDD, who was standing nearby, also saw the Weibo post, and his mindset was exactly the same as Khan's.

"It's really unfair that the official team puts such a player at the top of the rankings. Isn't it normal for him to have a winning streak against low-level teams like those in the LPL? As for beating SKT, we did that too. What's there to brag about?"

"I think so too. The official ranking is too high. Donghe should be the undisputed number one top laner in the world," Cuzz chimed in, praising him.

Khan, flattered by his teammates' praise, confidently declared, "What world's best top laner? He's just been hyped up. If we meet him in the playoffs, I'll show him who the real strongest top laner is."

At the same time, the other two LCK teams also saw Li Chen's Weibo post.

Cuvee and Khan had similar opinions, after all, he had only fought Li Chen once. Although he seemed to have been beaten badly in that match, everyone has off days.

Huni, however, was different. He had been tricked by Li Chen, fallen into the traps Li Chen had set, and had also fought against Khan. He knew very well the difference between the two.

However, he didn't remind Khan of his idea, since it was better for the three of them to be beaten together than for him to be beaten alone.
