Chapter 9: Ranking Up in the Korean Server!
At the same time, it is also completing the tasks assigned by the system.
[Entered the top ten in the Korean server]
[Reward: One Hextech Crafting Opportunity!]
[Limited Time Offer: 3 Days]
Another Hextech gacha opportunity is a real lifesaver!
Although Chen Xiao's skills and reactions have returned to their peak, he has been away from the competition for many years.
It will be quite challenging to face off against top LPL mid laners on the field after only a few days of training!
Even with significant growth in development ability, strong development ability alone is far from enough on the field!
Laning phase, tempo, support, team fight execution...
If any link in the chain breaks down, it will be magnified infinitely!
What's more, he's about to face a mid laner of Scout's caliber!
In just three days, I've climbed from my current score into the top ten in the Korean server.
The time limit is short, and the difficulty is considerable.
But it's not impossible.
Chen Xiao flexed his wrists, his gaze gradually becoming focused.
He's lacking so much right now; he needs training in every single one of them.
High-elo games on the Korean server are currently the best whetstone for honing one's skills!
-
That night.
Chen Xiao immediately started his scoring spree.
There are no fancy strategies for ranking up, nor any special moves.
His thinking was extremely simple—
Control the line, develop, and press the blade.
Then, expand your advantages.
The first Tsar.
They remained calm and collected during the laning phase, and by the ten-minute mark, they had a 18-CS lead over their opponent.
Twenty minutes later, the lead was close to 40.
Thirty minutes later, they were two major equipment advantages.
End the game immediately!
In the second game, I picked Syndra, who can also provide backup in the late game.
The opposing mid laner roamed to the bottom lane and got a kill three minutes into the game.
But when I went back online, I found the sky had fallen!
The minion wave was blocked, and I fell behind in last-hitting, and I also lost two layers of plating.
The mid-lane tower fell in just twelve minutes, and we're even behind in gold!
On the third turn, Chen Xiao took out the clockwork.
He practically transformed into a jungler, clearing out all the enemy and allied F6 camps.
In just 30 minutes, you can get a full build; one QW combo is enough to make an ADC pregnant!
……
One game after another, without many amazing plays.
However, the game content is highly consistent.
At the start, establish good vision and farm peacefully. Then, get ahead in last-hitting and gold. In the mid-to-late game, use your equipment advantage to completely crush your opponent!
This strategy is almost always successful in ranked games.
Anyone who tries to solo kill him in lane will find themselves falling far behind in gold as the game progresses!
By the end of the first day, Chen Xiao's ranking in the Korean server had reached the top fifty.
Amazing efficiency!
-
The next day, Chen Xiao continued his campaign in high-elo games on the Korean server, achieving an impressive seven-game winning streak.
As soon as I returned to the checkout window, two English words popped up in the dialog box.
"Mid...chovy?"
Chen Xiao glanced at it, but didn't reply. He simply exited the settlement interface silently.
Let's move on to the next game.
I don't have time to worry about all this nonsense, ranking up is more important!
But what Chen Xiao didn't know was that as his score climbed, his ID gradually spread among high-ranking players in the Korean server.
The main reason is his unusual playstyle. This kind of playstyle, which focuses on farming and minimizing fighting, is truly unique, and many people are guessing whose alt account it is.
"How come this guy's finishing moves are so consistent?"
"Is he someone who doesn't leak knives?"
"I just faced him in lane, and it felt like I was playing in practice mode."
"He doesn't fight you at all, he just keeps eating your minions."
"But when you look at his equipment, he's a whole piece ahead of you."
"Such solid fundamentals, is this a smurf account of a professional player?"
"Chovy? BDD? They're both good at last-hitting, but their style isn't that great."
"Could he be a super rookie from some club???"
"..."
T1 Training Room.
A man pushed up his glasses, staring calmly at the computer screen, his gaze landing on an unfamiliar ID.
After thinking for a moment, he clicked on the account with the ID Lucifer and checked its historical records.
One page, two pages, three pages...
Then, with great interest, I started searching for the account's Rank replays.
A teammate leaned over and took a look.
"Who is this? Such an impressive record?"
"That last-hitting...it's a bit over the top, almost every game he's overtime!"
"Could it be Chovy? Has he had time to grind for points lately?"
Faker gently shook his head: "No, Chovy will play more aggressively."
He spoke calmly, but his gaze remained fixed on the screen.
"Judging from the data, this person's obsession with development is more pure."
Pure development, pure profit maximization, no unnecessary actions, selfish to the extreme.
When did people like this appear in Korean online games?
"What's wrong, Sang-hyuk hyung? Are you interested in this guy?" Keria glanced at the video, but couldn't figure it out, so she asked, puzzled.
Faker shook his head: "Not really, I just suddenly saw a strange ID, checked the match history and found it interesting."
Oner, sitting to the side, seized the opportunity to flatter, leaning in and saying, "Sang-hyeok hyung is always concerned about the future of our LCK, seeing if there are any strong mid laners among the new generation!"
This resonated with Faker; he was indeed somewhat worried about the future of the LCK!
For so many years, the mid-lane meta in the LCK has remained unchanged.
It's mostly him, Chovy, BDD, and other veterans who are active.
Most rookie mid-laners are short-lived, with none capable of carrying the team.
"I'm almost 30, and I really hope to see some new talents emerge. Otherwise, who will continue the glory of LCK after I retire?"
Keria immediately raised his hand: "Sang-hyeok hyung, I'll do it! I'll switch to mid lane right away if you retire!"
Then get a sharp rap on the head.
-
Chen Xiao was unaware that he was being targeted by many LCK players and was only focused on climbing the ranks.
He has now climbed into the top 20 in the Korean server rankings.
The speed is quite astonishing!
"Your score-boosting speed is a bit outrageous."
Xiao Tian leaned back in his chair, staring at the leaderboard.
369 chimed in, "Two days ago you were in the top 50, now you're in the top 20? Are you using a cheat engine to boost your score?"
He has always struggled with ranked games, consistently hovering around the top 100, and knows all too well how difficult it is to climb the ranks.
Ah Shui glanced at his CS stats, his tone slightly mocking: "I see now, you don't fight in ranked games, you just clear your inventory... Clear out the entire minion wave in Summoner's Rift!"
Chen Xiao: "...It's a waste to leave resources there unused!"
Xiao Tian sneered: "Then don't eat my F6 next time."
Chen Xiao said matter-of-factly, "I was just trying to lighten your load; the sooner you eat, the sooner you can refresh the page!"
Xiao Tian rolled his eyes: "Get lost, get lost, get lost."
At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is there a reward for our club reaching the top of the Korean server for the first time?"
Ah Shui gave him a strange look and said, "Isn't that obvious? Didn't the coach mention that to you guys when you were in LDL?"
"It was mentioned, but I don't quite remember."
Meiko looked over with interest: "The reward for reaching the top of the Korean server for the first time is 50 points. It's been a long time since a newcomer has reached the top. So... are you planning to give it a shot?"
