"Congratulations to EDG for winning their first match in the World Championship. They didn't give AHQ any chance to turn the tide, and even with the meta-defining Kalista, they couldn't change the outcome," Miller shouted.

Guan Zeyuan summarized: "With today's matches concluded, both teams in our region have won, achieving a great start. Tomorrow, we will face EDG and SKT."

Rita picked up the thread, saying, "This should be one of the most anticipated group stage matches, since both teams are considered favorites to win the championship, and they also faced off at MSI this year, making them old rivals."

Are we enemies? Not really.

[C and Faker actually have a very good relationship; they always eat together after every match.]

[Factory Manager: Who paid for it? I'm asking you, who paid for it!]

[Sorry, C, the factory paid for it.]

[Pay the bill and get out of here! Are you waiting to eat?]

After shaking hands with the AHQ team, Li Chen and the others returned backstage, where Abu immediately came up to hug them and then showered them with concern.

Li Chen sat down on the sofa, enjoying A Guang's extra services, and said while holding a hot milk tea, "AHQ has paved the way for other teams today. I guess they won't be letting Jess out for the later matches."

The factory manager poured himself a glass of water and said expressionlessly, "In tomorrow's match against SKT, we are on the blue side. Whether we let them go or not doesn't matter; we have the first move."

The group chatted casually for a while, and soon the interviewers came over after the match.

After some communication, Li Chen was still assigned to the LPL main interview desk.

As an old friend, Yu Shuang was dressed very alluringly today, her graceful figure partially revealed, but Li Chen remained unmoved, staring straight ahead.

"C God, the interview is about to begin. Do you want to take a look at the questions?" Yu Shuang said, holding up the question card.

Li Chen waved his hand gently: "No need, when would I ever need this? Just improvise."

"..."

Yu Shuang's lips twitched slightly, and she gave an awkward but polite smile.

The interview then officially began. After Yu Shuang's opening remarks, she got to the point and asked, "In today's match against AHQ, AHQ picked Kalista, a champion widely considered strong in the current meta, but they didn't perform as well as expected. C-God, what are your thoughts on this?"

Li Chen cleared his throat and said seriously, "I think Kalista might be a meta trap. Although everyone thinks she's strong, there's a lack of match data to support it, so she's probably not living up to her reputation."

Yu Shuang thought this answer was very professional, but the audience in front of the screen couldn't sit still. After all, everyone still remembered how Kalista ascended to the throne of the version's goddess.

[Laughs, C is going to invalidate everything from yesterday.]

I won't say who put Kalista in the ban phase.

[C says: Although I crushed SKT in a 3v5 with Kalista, they are still too weak.]

Others' imitations don't look right, but C's imitation doesn't look right either.

Kalista is yours, Jayce is mine, and we both have a bright future.

Yu Shuang couldn't see the comments, but she had already asked her second question: "What's C-God's opinion on the current qualification situation in Group A? Are you confident that you'll qualify as the group leader?"

"I have a little confidence, but SKT is still very strong. Huni is a very strong opponent, and the top laners of C9 and AHQ are also very strong. If I hadn't picked Jayce today, I might have been at a disadvantage in the laning phase."

Li Chen spoke with a very serious and formal expression. Anyone who didn't know him would likely believe him if they saw his expression and tone.

But Huni, who had already packed her things and was about to leave the lounge, paused for a moment after hearing this, then quietly quickened her pace and left the room.

He had heard similar lies too many times; he was truly numb to them. To believe them again would make him a complete idiot.

Yu Shuang looked at Li Chen with a strange expression, and couldn't help but admire Li Chen's composure. He didn't even blush when he said such things, which was terrifying.

"You can tell that C-God takes his opponent very seriously, but that's how competitions are; you have to give it your all in every game. Everyone is looking forward to C-God's performance next. Would C-God like to say a few words to the fans?"

Li Chen revealed a satisfied look, still starting with zero frames: "First of all, thank you all for your support. After all, you are the source of my motivation to improve. There are some things that are inconvenient to say here. Tonight, everyone..."

[Come join my live stream tonight, and I'll have an in-depth discussion with you all.]

[What are you babbling about? Come to my live stream.]

[Still talkative, still inconvenient, still a live stream.]

He always did this, liking to slip his long, slender, jade-like hands into my pockets.

That bastard is asking you for money!

[Damn it!]

After a brief chat, Yu Shuang began to wrap things up: "Regardless, today is the first day of the World Championship. C-God, what are your expectations for the outcome? Could you say it in one sentence?"

Li Chen paused for a moment, then said, "The professional arena is like a series of towering mountains, and I will be the highest one."

In a simple sentence, without mentioning the championship at all, every word pointed directly to it, and the audience both on and off the field gave him a warm round of applause and cheers.

The popularity of the World Championship is incomparable to that of ordinary leagues. As the only esports event that can rival traditional sports, even the group stage attracts millions of viewers worldwide.

Li Chen's remarks also traveled across the ocean with the competition, entering the view of players worldwide.

When all the events were over and the EDG team left by car, the area around the venue was still packed with people.

Li Chen sat in the car wearing headphones and silently opened his phone to write a Weibo post:

We're winning big, we're always winning, and some fans have already asked me if we can stop winning, they can't take it anymore, but I'm sorry, that's really not possible.

Even with countless insults and the need to rely on Seven's ancestor, I, god_C, am still invincible in the world!

After editing and checking to make sure there were no problems, Li Chen clicked send and quickly attracted countless likes and comments.

[Arrogant! C's son is far too cocky. Can you bear the consequences?]

【Does my ancestor Seven need your support? He can pupate on his own, okay?】

[C...C Heavenly Emperor?]

As a ruthless individual, I have prepared the ancient divine key, awaiting only the moment of reckoning.

My suggestion is, why not field an all-Chinese lineup? That's what our team should be like!
