LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 27: Who put the icon of the No. 1 player in the Chinese server in my background?

He touched his chin, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

"It's like...it's like...yes, it's like BJBS had an extra real-time coach during the competition, helping them analyze the gains and losses of each step."

"These four random players are no pushovers either. They seem to have been practicing with the mid laner for a long time, and their execution is top-notch. It's not surprising that the second team failed to close out the game during the laning phase and was later turned around."

As he spoke, Abu's expression grew increasingly excited. "I remember you just said that our second team's support has a friend slot for Crush, right?"

"Yes, that's right. I invited him to try out for ADG before, but he declined."

"I didn't expect them to join a city championship team."

"BJBS is the name of an internet cafe in Shanghai, and I happen to know the owner."

"It's good to get to know each other...it's good to get to know each other."

His gaze as he watched the game video grew increasingly intense.

He saw it.

In this talented newcomer, he saw Pawn, Dade of Samsung Blue during his peak in S4, and even the shadow of that legendary mid laner from the neighboring region who was aiming for his second championship.

Those IDs flashed through his mind one by one, eventually converging into the calm yet sharp Crush on the screen.

Abu suddenly stood up, causing his chair to slide back half a meter.

"Help me call a taxi!"

"Take a taxi?" Yuan You, who was standing next to him, was taken aback.

"Let's go to the 'See You Later' internet cafe." Abu had already grabbed his coat from the table, his movements quick yet methodical, putting it on as he walked out. His voice came from the doorway, carrying a sense of certainty: "I'm meeting the owner of BJBS."

"Putting this kind of player in the city championship is a waste of talent."

"If the other side would refuse, I don't believe they would refuse even our EDG, or even the LPL."

"Crush, EDG is definitely getting him!"

……

After Fu Shiyan and his group finished their meal, it was only 9 p.m. when they returned to the "See You Later" base.

For most esports players, especially professional players, this time of day is more like the start of a daily quest – the nightlife is just beginning, and their skills and minds are still sharp.

"Xiao Zhou, Li Rui, and Zhu Dan, the three of you practice according to the plan first."

"Wu Chen, play duo queue with me later."

Fu Shiyan glanced at the time, assigned training tasks to the other three, and then called on the jungler separately.

The synergy and coordination between the mid and jungle players is even more important than that between the bot lane duo in ranked games and competitive matches.

He knew this better than anyone else.

"Um, boss," Fu Shiyan turned around and spoke to Boss Mo, who was leaning back on the sofa scrolling through his phone, his tone somewhat consultative, "I'm about to reach the top of the Chinese server rankings recently, and I'd like to start a live stream..."

Although he could have easily done this given his current position at BJBS, Fu Shiyan maintained absolute respect for his boss in order to set an example for his younger colleagues.

A team's rules and attitude are never just words.

"Top of the Chinese server?" Boss Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and laughed, "That's great! The computer in your room is more than enough... Oh, wait, if you're going to stream, I'll have my assistant get you a webcam and microphone and send them directly to your room."

This man was always incredibly efficient; the moment he finished speaking, he pulled out his phone and immediately dialed his assistant in charge of logistics. While dialing, he added, turning back, "Do you know how to set up the live stream? If not, I'll find someone to teach you. Share the room number with me later, and I'll send you a treasure map!"

"Will we reach the top of the Chinese server...?"

Wu Chen sat in the corner, subconsciously shrinking his head, his tone a little unsure: "Um... Boss, how about you try solo queuing for a bit? My rank is too low right now, I'm afraid... uh, I'm afraid I'll drag you down."

"Holding us back?" Fu Shiyan raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Do you think a ranked game is harder than us, as a professional team, playing against EDG's second team's mid and jungle?"

Before he could continue speaking, several teammates had already gathered around him, laughing and joking.

"Hey, Lao Wu, how dare you question our Yan-ge? Have you forgotten how we crushed EDG's second team in the scrims?" Li Rui was the first to speak, his tone full of teasing and a desire to stir up trouble.

"Exactly, exactly! This is a battle for the top spot in the national server's thousand-point rankings. Most people wouldn't even have the chance to participate, but you're making excuses all the time." Zhou Heyang chimed in.

In contrast, Zhu Dan gave an extremely pertinent piece of advice: "Don't overthink it. In the game, just listen to Brother Yan and focus on getting kills in the mid lane."

"Haha, right, right, right!" Zhou Heyang slapped his thigh. "Just like Benji, from now on, you're the second-generation mid-lane jungler of our LPL!"

"Haha, great idea!"

Laughter erupted in the training room.

……

Because of the live broadcast, Boss Mo simply sent Fu Shiyan and Wu Chen back to their respective rooms.

He stayed in the training room, supervising the training of the other three comrades while requesting an observer position to watch this rare 1000-point ranked game on the Chinese server.

Inside room 203.

Equipment debugging and live streaming parameter settings were not difficult tasks for Fu Shiyan, who had experience from his previous life.

He finished everything in no time, in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

During this time, he also thought about getting Wu Chen to start a live stream together, but the other party refused on the grounds that "his skill level is too low".

After all, a master-level player is extremely rare in real life, but online, especially among streamers who are all at the King rank, they are likely to be ridiculed by the audience.

Fu Shiyan didn't force it; he just wanted Wu Chen to withstand the pressure and play duo queue with him to the end.

As mentioned earlier, after choosing BJBS as the city championship team, his plan to climb to the top of the rankings through live streaming and server boosting was a supplementary plan for his path to fame.

Leveraging online brand recognition to drive offline event opportunities, thereby demonstrating sufficient value and paving the way for attracting capital, especially investment funds, independently in the future.

Unfortunately, the competition in the City Championship is relatively small, so the exposure is naturally less than that of players who can appear in the LPL league.

Therefore, if he wants to showcase his "player skills" and "coaching abilities," he needs a little extra support.

One of his achievements was leading several top-tier teammates from BJBS through the city-wide battles to the professional league.

The second example is that Wu Chen, a jungler with only Master rank, reached the top of the rankings through a "burdened duo queue" livestream.

So here's the problem: the script is already written, but the story lacks an audience and can't be spread. How can that work?

"Who put this 'Number One in China' icon in my app's background?"

Thinking it over, Fu Shiyan typed on the keyboard with both hands and gave his live stream room on Huya an extremely clickbait name!
