Chapter 45 - Fighting against OMG
"No.1 in the country, I was also No.1 in the past."

Kid was lost in memories. He was one of the top three players in the national server back then.

"Who isn't the number one in the country? There can't be anyone who isn't the number one in the country, right?"

He slammed the table and said, who wasn't a genius boy back then?

"I'm not……"

Rookie raised his hand weakly.

"But I was number one in the Korean server last year."

Yuan Shen was silent.

Whether he admits it or not, being number one in the Korean server is indeed more valuable than being number one in the Chinese server.

What is the double crown zone?
LPL is just the second runner-up.

Will the MSI champion get a skin?
If you don't have any skin, just send it.

"How does it feel to be the No. 1 player in the country? Interview."

She Keke pulled a chair, raised the mouse and prepared to interview Yuan Shen.

"I don't feel anything. It will come naturally. As long as the winning rate is positive, no points will be added. The more you play, the better it will be."

Hearing Yuan Shen's words, everyone in IG couldn't help but curl their lips.

What are you talking about? We are all family, is there any need to say that?
"but……"

Yuan Shen was silent for a while, then turned to look at Su Xiaoluo.

"Manager, there are two good talents you can pay attention to. One is TheShy who plays duo with Dopa, and the other is JackeyLove. I think you have paid attention to these two people, but their potential is definitely greater than you think. I am very optimistic about them."

After Yuan Shen finished speaking, Kid's expression beside him suddenly became extremely complicated.

TheShy either plays top or jungle, it has nothing to do with him anyway.

But JackeyLove...

He is the famous genius ADC in the national server!
Yuan Shen dislikes me.

Kid came to this conclusion almost without turning.

No, his relationship with Yuan Shen is not good enough.

Continue to stir the noodles, stir hard!
If you want to capture a man's heart, you must capture his stomach!

Kid made up his mind secretly.

……

Days without competitions are always unusually boring.

With the arrival of the second game week, IG's third regular season game is about to begin.

On May 5st, IG played against UP.

This week's opponents were not very strong, and IG did not take them too seriously.

When playing against UP, even with Zzitai on, IG still won the game with a 2-0 advantage.

On June 6, when facing VG, IG chose Yuan Shen to play.

For two consecutive games, Yuan Shen, with Gnar and Irelia, and under IG's "top lane core" tactical system, once again single-handedly defeated VG's new domestic top laner and dominated the game.

IG's mid and jungle rhythm also completely suppressed VG's mid and jungle. The two games combined lasted less than an hour.

Speedrun!
IG, which won two games in a row, ranked first in the team standings with 10 points.

In the next game, the opponent is also not strong.

RNG, M3, KING...

IG undoubtedly achieved a series of consecutive victories and took the lead with an impressive score of 19 points.

With the winning streak, even EDG and LGD began to take IG seriously.

……

"The first series in the country? Not interested."

Looking at the message sent by Jack, Yuan Shen shook his head.

He is very familiar with Xiaomo's first series in China, which has produced many celebrities.

What is the No. 1 male blade, Xuanwu Xuanyue Blade. The No. 1 Draven, Vincent. The No. 1 Jayce, Nanling Flower God...

There are many national firsts, some are well-deserved, some are very controversial, but with each new issue, the popularity will soar.

In Yuan Shen's opinion, if he wants to do this, many of the top titles in the country will have to be replaced.

At least he is very confident about heroes like Crocodile, Rambo, and Tree.

"I think it's possible. This series won't reveal your true identity. They're all named after IDs anyway, so there's no loss to you."

Jack has always been upset about not being rated as the No. 1 Draven in the country. When he heard that Xiaomo was going to rate Yuan Shen as "No. 1 Crocodile in the country", he couldn't sit still.

"Okay, I'll just send you some video clips later. I don't have time to edit the footage."

Yuan Shen smiled.

He has been playing professionally for more than half a year, but he has never experienced the feeling of being a brother, so he is still very caring towards Jack.

"By the way, didn't Su Xiaoluo ask you to try out?"

Yuan Shen is still quite concerned about this matter.

Kid's strength is hard to describe. If it were Jack, he would have it much easier.

Age is not a problem at all. The current LPL does not have any age regulations for players.

Uzi was only 15 years old when he debuted.

About the same age as Jack is now.

As long as you want to, there are still many ways to exploit this loophole.

"You told me, I'm still hesitating."

Jack was very calm.

He also wanted to play professionally. Many people in the group were struggling in LPL or secondary leagues, but...

He also has his own concerns.

"IG is not the best choice for you, but I won't let you regret it." Yuan Shen took a deep breath and continued, "Your talent is the best I've ever seen. It would be a pity if you don't play professionally..."

"What a pity..."

Jack didn't know how to respond.

Someone had said this before during his live broadcast.

Instead of becoming a professional player and making a name for yourself, why do you stay here and be a small anchor?

This sentence touched him deeply.

But it was not enough for him to make up his mind.

But now even Yuan Shen said so, he was really shaken.

"Let me think about it."

Jack didn't give a positive response in the end.

Yuan Shen was not too anxious about this.

If Jack didn't come, he would just feel a little regretful.

But his goal never changed.

All he has to do is win.

Even without Jack, we have to keep winning.

Anyone who stands in his way of victory is his opponent.

……

Time flies to February 6th.

And IG also faced the third-to-last opponent in the first round of the regular season.

OMG.

"Today's game..."

Fu Manduo had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by Yuan Shen.

"Give it your all, I want to win."

Yuan Shen’s words cheered up everyone in IG.

Rookie and Kakao don't care. No matter what kind of opponent they meet, they are both confident that they can fight.

Kid's face looked a little ugly.

He knew that Yuan Shen had had a big fight with those people in OMG before.

He also wanted to help Yuan Shen vent his anger.

but……

He is going to face Uzi!
His fear of dogs has been around for a long time.

Apart from anything else, Uzi's laning style alone was enough to make him unable to cope.

"Is there a problem with the bottom lane?"

Fumanduo looked at Kid.

"No...no problem."

Kid wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"Hey, try to stay calm, trust your teammates, and leave it to the top, mid and jungle."

Fu Manduo had no choice.

If KID's problem is not solved, its future will be bleak.

Mental quality is very poor.

"What happened to you today? You don't look very well."

Zizi patted Yuan Shen on the shoulder, and everyone from IG also looked over.

"You have dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep last night?"

Rookie also reacted.

"Yes, there's still a lot of blood."

She Keke transformed into a famous detective, came over to take a closer look, and said.

"Uh, I didn't sleep well, but it didn't have much of an impact."

Yuan Shen smiled.

Fight OMG!
My old club, and also the club where I made my debut.

His mood was a little complicated.

It is a fact that I had a falling out with Uzi.

But he still has some feelings for OMG.

After all, it is my first club since my debut.

The eldest brother and Noxia were pretty nice to him.

……

"Hello everyone, welcome to our competition. I believe everyone has been looking forward to today's competition for a long time."

The old duo of Wawa and Miller are still responsible for commentating today's game.

In e-sports, performance is king.

OMG's performance in last year's S4 World Championship was really amazing.

Although the results in the spring season were average, OMG's fan base still ranks among the top three or even higher in LPL.

With the addition of Uzi, the title of an all-Chinese team is still attractive to many viewers.

Today IG and OMG are facing off, and many people are waiting for the game to start with the mentality of watching for fun.
