League: I really didn't tank!

033 Do you even understand the tricks of the "Dog Head Bar" for gaining experience points?

Chen Dongqing understood why, nodded, and followed him out.

For the past two weeks, he's been at the base, not playing League of Legends, but only PUBG. His teammates and coaches have all noticed, so it would be strange if they didn't say something.

Park Yun-ryong seemed to take this matter very seriously. He led Chen Dongqing to the conference room before solemnly speaking:

"Chen Dongqing, I'm very satisfied with how you've been arriving at the training room before nine o'clock every day lately."

"However, it seems you've never played League of Legends before. You play other games every day. I could ignore you during the off-season, but starting tomorrow, we'll be having official scrimmages. I hope you can correct your attitude in time."

Chen Dongqing listened quietly to the translator until the translator finished speaking before explaining, "Coach Park, there's actually a reason why I don't play League of Legends."

After listening to the translation, Park Unyong asked directly in Chinese, "What's the reason?"

Chen Dongqing had already prepared a set of words, and he began to speak:

"I don't play League of Legends. It's a habit I developed a long time ago because I think ranked matches and professional matches are completely different games."

"Ranked matches don't improve my League of Legends skills at all. In fact, I watch some replays every day when I get back to my dorm to review my performance. Reviewing my performance helps me improve far more than my own timing and mechanics. That's enough."

Park Yun-yong couldn't help but frown slightly as he listened to Chen Dongqing's words.

If you're a support or jungler, then you can say that, because competitive matches and ranked games for those two positions are definitely not the same game.

After all, there have been too many players in these two positions who are high-performing in ranked matches but low-performing in actual games.

But you're a top laner... standing in the position that tests individual skill the most. If you don't play games every day and just rely on meditation training, is that really enough?

"I understand your doubts, but I will prove myself," Chen Dongqing said with a smile. "The training matches in the next few days will be the best opportunity to prove myself, and I will use my performance to show what I said."

Park Unyong nodded and said, "In the upcoming training matches, if you can't perform at your previous level, you'd better listen to my instructions."

"If you succeed, you can play whatever you want from now on, and I won't interfere anymore."

The training matches officially began the next day.

Although Chen Dongqing hadn't played League of Legends for over a month, his skill level was already at its peak and wouldn't decline due to the long break, so he still felt no pressure.

Today's practice match opponent is Snake.

At the beginning of Season 6, Snake had two key players, Flandre and kRYST4L, but they had not yet welcomed their core Vietnamese jungler, SofM, and the jungler was still Zzr.

Therefore, this team is not considered strong; it's just a team on the edge of making the playoffs.

"Snake's core player is Flandre in the top lane, who is also an outstanding top laner, somewhat similar to our top laner."

Tactical coach banbazi said from the front: "So I think in this scrim we can focus on the top half of the map and go head-to-head with them. What do you guys think?"

Inside the training room, Doinb and Xiangguo both nodded. They both now prefer playing in the top half of the map because the return on helping Chen Dongqing is very high.

Uzi was slightly disappointed after hearing this, but he didn't know what to say.

League of Legends is a game of resource allocation, not only in terms of minions, jungle, and dragons, but also in terms of jungler ganks, counter-ganks, and mid laner support. These are all resources.

If the focus is on the top half of the map, then the bottom lane is destined to have a tough time.

When he was with Royal Club in Seasons 3 and 4, he was always played as the core of the team. The team would unconditionally protect the bottom lane. Back then, if he was not satisfied with anything his teammates did, he would directly start criticizing them.

However, after being sidelined by OMG for a year during last year's S5 season, his temper did become much more subdued.

During this transfer period, the owner of QG paid a price of tens of millions to get him out of OMG. Uzi is very grateful to the QG team for the opportunity he was given, and he is willing to try and sacrifice for the team.

Of course, if the outcome of his sacrifice is not good, he wouldn't mind taking over the position of tactical core.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Dongqing rejected Banbazi's suggestion, saying:

"Holy Gun is a very cunning player. Targeting him might not be very effective. I think we can try focusing on the bottom half of the map and let Jian Zihao break through the opponent. I should be able to withstand the pressure in the top lane without any problems."

"Huh?" This time the team members were a little surprised. There were people who would deliberately not let their teammates help them?

Chen Dongqing remained calm and said, "I was just pointing out the best way to win. The point of playing games is to win."

Uzi felt even warmer inside after hearing Chen Dongqing's words.

Listen to what a great player he is!

I absolutely have to win this game!

Park Yun-yong also looked at Chen Dong-qing, seemingly lost in thought. He still remembered the agreement the two had made yesterday.

Despite the agreement being made, Chen Dongqing still chose to sacrifice himself for the team, which shows that he is indeed a good player, at least in terms of mentality.

Soon, the training match began.

Because of the pressure, Chen Dongqing volunteered this time and took the initiative to target the captain.

Even if you ask him to withstand pressure, he's unlikely to pick a Maokai to defend the tower in the top lane. He'll choose GimGoon's approach to withstand pressure, which is related to his individual playstyle.

Immediately afterwards, Flandre didn't hesitate and took down Quinn.

This champion was reworked along with Corki and Graves during the S6 preseason.

After Quinn's rework, her ultimate has no cooldown, giving her fast map mobility. Now she's usually played as a top laner, bullying those short-legged, clumsy champions. After pushing the lane, she can use her high mobility to extend her advantage to the jungle and mid lane.

The captain was clearly a short-legged idiot.

On the other side, Xiangguo also understood. Since the top laner picked Gangplank, the team lacked initiation and control, so he naturally needed to fill that gap. Therefore, he picked Sejuani as a follow-up pick.

Meanwhile, the bot lane featured the classic combination of Caitlyn and Thresh.

The first game began quickly.

Facing Quinn's pressure, Chen Dongqing remained composed, starting with Doran's Shield and Biscuit, without buying a Sapphire Crystal or Crystal Bottle, and simply farmed the lane.

There's no way around it. The reason the captain built a Sapphire Crystal is because constantly using Q to pressure the enemy will cause him to run out of mana. But this game, he didn't dare to use Q on the enemy Quinn at all, so it didn't matter. He could just start playing aggressively.

On the other side, Flandre was a little stunned when he saw this tanky Captain who started with Doran's Shield, but he still went with his own ideas.

Quinn went straight to the bushes at level one, intending to use her level one range advantage to steal the experience of the Captain's three melee minions.

But he stayed there until the minion waves met, and the captain still didn't appear.

What do you mean?

Where is this?

Knowing they wouldn't benefit from the experience, they stopped trying?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Flandre saw the captain emerge from the river's undergrowth.

The captain had just taken two steps forward when both sides' melee troops were reduced to low health.

Saint Gun was somewhat surprised.

So the captain was crouching in the river grass from the beginning? How did he know I was going to block his experience points?

Saint Gun Bro had no choice but to learn the Q skill on the fly, and use one Q to take down three melee minions at once.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Dongqing immediately hid behind the ranged soldier and stood in a safe position.

"Successfully got to eat it!" Chen Dongqing grinned.

How could you possibly block my experience points?

Do you understand the multi-layered strategy of gaining experience in the Dog Head Bar?
