League: I really didn't tank!

013 We're all professionals, why would I be afraid of you?

The first game was quickly arranged, and Chen Dongqing once again chose Riven when Fiora was banned, facing off against the well-known solo queue king Duji's Irelia.

Chen Dongqing hadn't faced off against the old Irelia in a long time and had almost forgotten the details of the laning phase, which resulted in him failing to gain an advantage in the laning phase. However, Xiangguo stepped up and easily dominated the entire game with his Nidalee.

The current version has two meta picks: Fiora in the top lane and Nidalee in the jungle.

In the early stages of Season 6, Xiangguo wasn't the "starvation-style" jungler he used to be; he was a carry jungler, and he was also a skilled Nidalee player.

Easy victory in the first game!

In the second game, Chen Dongqing learned from his mistakes and focused 100% on the laning phase, completely dominating the opposing random top laner!

Although his teammates in the mid and bottom lanes were at a slight disadvantage, Chen Dongqing did not participate in team fights. Instead, he relied on split pushing in the top lane to tear open the opponent's wounds and secure two consecutive victories!

"Upgraded to Brilliant Diamond I!"

Finally, I've reached Diamond 1, and I'm on the same starting line as Dopa.

According to Chen Dongqing's experience, the hidden MMR requirement for Diamond I is very high. In the past, there were often accounts that could gain 17 or 18 MMR per game when they reached Diamond II, but only gained 5 MMR per game when they reached Diamond I.

This is because the hidden MMR is not high enough to qualify for Diamond 1, so MMR needs to be increased.

So even if Chen Dongqing can gain 33 points in a game when he's in Diamond II, he should be able to gain around 25 or 26 points in a game when he's in Diamond I.

Based on a maximum of four wins, he is seven net wins away from becoming a master.

Chen Dongqing didn't wait and started the ranked match again.

But just then, Xiangguo suddenly spoke in the voice chat: "Dopa is online."

Chen Dongqing was slightly taken aback and said, "So fast? Do you have TheShy as a friend? Is he offline?"

"Yes, there are two double rows."

Chen Dongqing sighed. It seemed that what was coming couldn't be avoided.

Dopa was clearly interested in achieving his first Challenger rank, so much so that he woke up several hours early today to try and climb the ranks.

As a top laner, Chen Dongqing has actually imagined facing off against the peak TheShy in a professional league in the future, after all, he is a player who will change the landscape of the top lane in the future.

But he didn't expect that their first matchup would come so soon.

Soon, the queue was completed, and a confirmation window popped up.

After confirming and entering the BP interface, Chen Dongqing immediately checked his teammates' IDs.

Dopa joins the team chat

TheShy joined the team chat.

Chen Dongqing immediately rolled her eyes.

Goodness, they're all lined up together.

Isn't this too cruel to the other side...?

Immediately afterwards, he saw a message appear in the team chat box.

TheShy: nihao

Chen Dongqing scratched his head. Who was he saying hello to?

...

Meanwhile, TheShy, looking at the ID ilex in the team chat, seemed pleased, saying with a smile in the voice chat, "That's the guy!"

Dopa looked at the ID thoughtfully.

He knew that TheShy agreed to duo queue with him in Ionia mainly because he saw a Riven pro and wanted to test his skills against him.

At the same time, Dopa glanced at the leaderboard when he first logged in and learned that someone named ilex was competing with him for the first King rank.

I didn't expect it to be the same person.

"Then you'd better do your best, Donggen," Dopa said with a smile. "You guys should be facing off soon."

...

This match was truly a foregone conclusion.

The four people in the team were all top-tier ranked players; in fact, it's no exaggeration to say that Chen Dongqing was probably the weakest...

Chen Dongqing saw that TheShy was on the first floor and was just about to give him the top lane position, but TheShy instead picked Lucian on the first floor.

Upon seeing this, Chen Dongqing's first reaction was suspicion.

Has the ginger corpse virus appeared so early?

Two seconds later, he realized that TheShy was letting him go top lane...

After thinking for a moment, Chen Dongqing typed "thank you" and then directly selected Riven.

Xiangguo then brought out Lee Sin in combination with Dopa's Twisted Fate, showcasing pure professional-level strength.

No matter who the opponent is, this game is already over.

But once he entered the game, Xiangguo burst out laughing, shouting, "Jack's on the other side! Hahaha, this is my revenge!!"

Seeing that Jack still chose Draven to pair with Thresh in duo queue, Xiangguo had already figured out how to arrange the two.

And unexpectedly, after entering the game, Dopa immediately pinged the opposing Draven twice.

Clearly, he also knew who the other side's big brother was.

The two teams, playing in duos, reached an unspoken consensus, which made the direction of the game clear.

Xiangguo started with the red buff in the top half of the map and farmed downwards. He ganked the bottom lane as soon as he reached level three, forcing Draven to use Flash.

Chen Dongqing, on the other hand, gained an advantage in the top lane solely through laning, while also using his keen sense of positioning to thwart the enemy jungler's ganks.

At six minutes, the level 6 Twisted Fate flew directly to the bottom lane and, together with Xiangguo, launched a four-man gank on the bottom lane, easily securing the first blood.

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing in the top lane also reached level six and successfully secured a solo kill with a flash initiation!

The game immediately lost its suspense.

With advantages in all three lanes, the mid and jungle players could easily set the pace of the game, leaving the opposing team with no chance to turn the tide.

After finishing a game, Chen Dongqing checked his score.

27 points.

Chen Dongqing nodded, "It's alright."

Dopa should give similar bonus points.

If both sides score the same points, it's as if no game was played.

The outcome can only be determined after the two sides face off.

Then, another ranked match began.

However, this time, the two sides were matched on the same side again. In return, Chen Dongqing went to play the bottom lane, while TheShy played Fiora in the top lane.

Then came another unremarkable victory.

54 points.

Chen Dongqing glanced at the leaderboard again; his score was exactly the same as Dopa's. They were both just five net wins away from reaching the Challenger rank.

"We've been matched together twice in a row," Xiangguo said. "Shouldn't we be matched against each other next time?"

Chen Dongqing nodded and said, "That's about it."

Just then, a friend request popped up in the upper right corner; it was from TheShy.

Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow and clicked "accept," but TheShy didn't say anything after adding him as a friend; he just added him for now.

Immediately afterwards, a confirmation window popped up again.

After entering the ranked room, Chen Dongqing still checked his teammates' IDs first.

This time, we didn't see TheShy and Dopa, but instead saw two other familiar players.

Meanwhile, the friend list also shows that TheShy is indeed in the hero selection phase.

Chen Dongqing took a deep breath.

The big one is finally here! This is the match that will decide the outcome of the game. Whoever wins will gain a two-point lead!

Just then, Xiangguo suddenly said, "It seems like something bad has happened."

Chen Dongqing asked, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Jack seems to be on the other side too, he's also in hero selection." Xiangguo said somewhat nervously, "How about I help you kill one enemy, those four on the other side are pretty strong."

"No need, no need." Chen Dongqing smiled and looked at his teammate's ID.

Uzi joined the team chat.

Chitanda from Zhanqi TV joined the team chat.

New Rift of Paradise has joined the team chat.

Although S6's paradise hasn't been harmed by the bad woman and he's still the number one Zed in the Chinese server, he's still a bit lacking in prestige compared to the other two top players.

Chen Dongqing said, "We can fight!"

So what if you have JackeyLove? I have Uzi and Liu Qingsong!

They're all at a professional level, why would I be afraid of them?
