You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 120: We'll definitely help you beat Doinb!
After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Dian returned to the base and went straight to the training room.

At this moment, only Zhou Dian went to the training room.

The others either planned to go later or decided not to go at all today.

Because LGD's next match isn't until next Saturday, a whole week from now.

In terms of training, a few hours of ranked practice tonight won't make a difference.

For professional players, ranked matches are just a way to maintain their skills and practice heroes. The real training effect comes from scrimmages.

Watching Zhou Dian walk into the training room, PYL muttered, "I've realized that Zhou is actually a training fanatic."

In the first few days after Zhou Dian joined the team, PYL was amazed to see someone leaving the training room earlier and going to bed earlier than him every night.

I thought LGD had recruited another top-tier slacker.

But he soon discovered that Zhou Dian was different from him.

PYL goes to bed early, but he wakes up late!

Zhou Dian is different; he goes to bed early and wakes up even earlier.

After getting up, I went straight to the training room.

In terms of daily training time, Zhou Dian is definitely the one with the longest training time in the LGD team.

In this regard, only Imp, who hasn't been going to bars much lately, can compare to Zhou Dian.

Zhou Dian arrived at the training room, sat down in his seat, and pressed the power button.

While waiting for the camera to start up, Zhou Dian recalled his conversation with PYL about the regular season MVP on the bus.

When it comes to individual awards, you should always try to win them if you have the chance; it's better to take them than not.

For a professional player, this kind of experience is a real asset that can genuinely improve their salary level in the future.

Currently ranked second on the weekly MVP list, only behind Doinb, he naturally has some thoughts on the regular season MVP of this year's Spring Split.

Coincidentally, LGD's opponent next week is QG, the team Doinb plays for.

That match against QG was also LGD's last match in the inter-group competition.

Zhou Dian currently has two MVPs behind Doinb. If Zhou Dian can win two more MVPs in next week's direct confrontation, he will catch up with Doinb in terms of MVP count.

If he can catch up, Zhou Dian is very confident that he can overtake him and then make it impossible for his competitors to surpass him again.

OK, we have to go all out against Doinb next week!

A few days passed quickly.

It was Thursday, March 23rd.

The seventh week of the 17 LPL Spring Split regular season has begun.

This week will conclude all inter-group matches.

Then, the regular season will enter the second round of group matches.

Then comes the playoffs.

There are two matches today. The first match is VG vs. IG.

After losing the first game, VG rallied to win the next two, defeating IG 2-1.

It was a minor upset.

After all, VG's recent performance has been very poor.

The key to VG's comeback from a 0-1 deficit was their top laner, Long, who completely dominated Duke in the second and third games.

Last offseason, IG spent a high price to acquire Duke, the champion top laner who had just won the S6 championship with SKT.

However, Duke's performance after joining the LPL was less than satisfactory.

It's not that Duke was bad; in fact, he wasn't. It's just that he didn't meet the expectations of IG fans and LPL viewers for a championship-winning top laner.

Add to that Bengi's complete loss of form at VG, and the SKT-affiliated champion players that LPL has acquired at high prices in the past two years have all underperformed.

These champion players, once they left SKT, lost their magic and could no longer deliver the stellar performances they had when they were with SKT.

This has led many LPL viewers to call SKT fraudsters.

In the second match that followed, QG easily defeated Snake.

Snake is currently at the bottom of Group A and is deep in the relegation zone.

Before the start of the Spring Split, Snake fans had high hopes for the Snake team this year, hoping they would make it to the playoffs.

The result is that they are now ranked last in Group A, which is a huge drop.

This has led to Snake team's head coach Zhu Kai and manager Zuo Wu being heavily criticized by fans, who are demanding that the two resign immediately.

Like Snake, QG's performance fell far short of fans' expectations before the start of the Spring Split.

However, QG's performance is the opposite of Snake's.

As a newly promoted team from the secondary league, many viewers felt that QG would be lucky to avoid relegation in the Spring Split.

However, QG has achieved a regular season record of seven wins and three losses, tying for second place in Group B with EDG.

QG's outstanding performance is primarily due to their mid-laner, Doinb.

In the match where they defeated Snake 2-0, Doinb earned another MVP award.

Doinb has widened his lead over Zhou Dian on the MVP leaderboard to three points.

QG's recent performance has reminded many viewers of QG in the summer of 15. Both teams were newly promoted, both had Doinb as their mid-laner, and QG ultimately won the LPL runner-up title.

If Doinb leads a newly promoted team to the LPL finals again this year, that would be truly amazing. No wonder some people praise him as a player who brings his own system.

Of course, the current QG team is quite different from the QG team in 15.

The former QG team was renamed NB in ​​16.

Towards the end of the 16 Spring Split, after the falling out between NB's mid-jungle duo Doinb and Swift, Doinb was demoted to NB's second team, NBY.

In the summer of 16, Doinb led NBY to win the LSPL championship and was promoted to LPL.

After the upgrade, NBY also changed the team name to QG.

Because Doinb has once again led his team to the LPL, and QG's current performance is very good, there have been many people trying to defend Doinb's actions in the incident last year where he broke off relations with his former team.

The strange thing is that in the incident of severing ties, the other party involved, Swift, is currently not performing as well as Doinb, which has given Doinb's fans an opportunity to come out and defend him.

Of course, it will be very difficult for Doinb's fans to clear his name, at least for now.

Because of the mess Doinb made in NB, he essentially ruined Uzi's career.

Doinb's fan base is still far smaller than Uzi's.

Whenever there are attempts to whitewash Uzi's image, they inevitably get countered by his fans.

That night, at 10 p.m.

Douyu TV, Doinb's live stream.

"Thank you boss for the 100 airplanes! You're so generous, muah!"

Under the camera in the lower right corner of the live stream, you can see someone gesturing wildly in gratitude for the gift.

Its movements were extremely exaggerated, just like a monkey.

After bouncing around for a while, Doinb finally sat back down in his chair and started interacting with the live chat.

This is a comment that appears on the screen—

[Wow, Kim Gugu is amazing! He led his teammates from the secondary league to second place in Group B!]

Upon seeing this comment, Doinb immediately replied, "I've said it before, once I come out of LSPL, I'll show them what cruelty is, and now I've done it!" Last August, on the night Doinb led NBY to win the LSPL championship, he posted a Weibo message that read—

[Once I get out of LSPL, I'll show you what cruelty really is!]

The caption also included a very fitting emoji.

Of course, many people mocked Doinb for being too arrogant in the comments section of that Weibo post.

But now it seems that Doinb is indeed quite skilled.

But is it really enough to boast that we're only tied for second place in Group B with EDG during the regular season?
Isn't that a bit too narcissistic and boastful?
Naturally, some casual viewers who didn't like it would post comments criticizing him.

[What have you accomplished? Anyone who didn't know would think you'd already won the LPL championship!]

[A clown!]

[They're getting all cocky after beating Snake. Wait until they beat LGD the day after tomorrow before they start bragging!]

[Have you achieved anything yet? Are you just here bragging?]

[Don't be so blunt, Doinb has two LSPL championships, which your team and favorite player probably don't!]

[That's true, my favorite team has never played in the second division, and neither have my favorite players!]

【.】

A comment in the chat saying "No achievements" made Doinb a little upset, and he immediately said, "I'm about to get the first LPL regular season MVP, the first one! Oh my god, I don't know if this counts as an achievement?"

That's hard to refute. In many people's eyes, Doinb's MVP award for the regular season is quite secure.

It will be difficult for Zhou Dian to catch up, after all, he has played fewer games, which is unavoidable.

However, since LGD was mentioned, many people in the live chat immediately brought up the 15 Summer Split finals, saying that it was Doinb who was crushed by GodV, which led to QG losing the finals and the championship.

"My god, what nonsense are you talking about? I got crushed by GodV in the 15 Summer Split Finals?"

"In that match, I lost 2-3 to LGD, you know? If it weren't for me, would QG have won two games in that match?"

"My god, if I had switched teams with GodV, I would have beaten him 3-0 in that match, and he wouldn't have won a single game!"

Although Doinb's voice was loud, he was actually somewhat guilty inside.

In that final match, QG banned Wei Shen's Yasuo and Diana in every single game for five consecutive rounds.

Back then, each side only had three ban slots, and they had to ban two enemy mid-lane heroes every game. It's fair to say that Doinb was already consuming a lot of team resources in the draft phase.

In this situation, the performance of the mid laners on both sides was evenly matched in the first four games, and Doinb was actually at a disadvantage.

In the decisive fifth game, Wei Shen suddenly pulled out a Vladimir, carrying the entire team and winning the Summer Split championship for LGD.

Therefore, the audience wasn't entirely wrong to say that Doinb was completely crushed by GodV in that final match.

Doinb offered a few rebuttals, but the chat continued to criticize him on this point.

Because it's true.

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!

The past cannot be refuted; Doinb can only speak of the present.

"Fine, fine, I got wrecked by GodV!"

"Since he can beat me so badly, he must be ranked higher than me on the MVP leaderboard, right?"

Let's take a look at GodV's ranking on the MVP leaderboard.

As he spoke, Doinb opened an esports data website and found the MVP list for the LPL Spring Split.

"Oh my god, who's in first place? They look so familiar!"

"Oh, it's Doinb! That's alright then, it's reasonable for Doinb to be ranked first!"

Next, Doinb scrolled down the leaderboard with his mouse wheel.

After scrolling through the list for a while, Doinb said in a high-pitched voice, "Hey, where's GodV? Is there something wrong with this list?"

"Found it! GodV's MVP count for the Spring Split is one!"

"Oh my god, this list must be wrong!"

It can only be said that Doinb's performative personality makes him a natural-born streamer, capable of putting on an exaggerated performance anytime, anywhere.

Some viewers were quite annoyed and started spamming "Joker" in the comments.

However, many viewers simply enjoy Doinb's "performance" and send him gifts when they find it entertaining.

"Wow, thanks to my good bro [Swift] for sending a hundred airplanes! Thank you so much, [Swift]!"

"Hey bro, you guys are awesome, keep it up! Don't fall into the relegation matches!"

The [Swift] who sent airplanes in the live stream is, of course, not NB's jungler Swift.

The two had long since broken off contact.

The person in the live stream, [Swift], is a die-hard fan of Doinb. They often work together to create a charade, allowing Doinb to take the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks about Swift.

After receiving several planes in a row, Doinb was all smiles and then got up to perform a monkey show.

He had already forgotten about the incident where he argued with the viewers and made a sarcastic remark about Wei Shen.

However, Doinb's "forgetting" about it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Soon, Doinb's "sharp commentary" on Wei Shen's live stream that night spread widely on D-site and other platforms.

This matter has also sparked some discussion in the Anti-Stress Forum.

Some netizens think Doinb is really disgusting, saying all sorts of stupid things just to create a good show.

At the same time, it's also too arrogant. GodV didn't provoke you, yet you dragged him out and made sarcastic remarks to disgust him.

No wonder when Doinb and Swift had a falling out, no one on the NB team sided with Doinb.

Some netizens have a very "survival of the fittest" mentality. They think that GodV deserves to be ridiculed now because he's bad at the game. They think that if GodV were still the same "Wu Tian" he used to be, would Doinb dare to make sarcastic remarks about him like this?
Two days flew by.

The date is March 25th, Saturday.

In their first match on Saturday, WE easily swept OMG 2-0, continuing their strong performance this year.

Since the first match didn't last too long, the next match between LGD and QG will start promptly at 3 PM.

Backstage area of ​​the venue, LGD's lounge.

LGD's coaches and players are gathered together, discussing the draft picks for the first game of the upcoming BO3 series.

The side selection information for the first game has been submitted, and QG, who has the right to choose sides, has chosen the blue side.

LGD will be on the red side in the first game.

"GodV, we're on the red side in the first game, so you take the fifth counter pick!" Dgc said, looking at GodV.

Nowadays, when LGD is on the red side, they generally assume that Zhou Dian will pick a hero on the fifth floor.

GodV understood Dgc's meaning: he wanted Dgc to counter Doinb with a hero he had picked later, so that Doinb could be crushed and the game could be won back.

The entire LGD team naturally knew about Doinb's trolling of GodV.

As an excellent motivational coach, Dgc immediately took GodV's feelings into consideration at this moment.

However, GodV shook his head, "No need, let's just pick normally, winning the game is the most important thing!"

"Really not going to use the counter pick anymore?" PYL was also a little surprised. Wei Shen has really matured. He puts the team's victory first and puts his personal feelings second.

"If I go top lane first, they can't counter me. GodV, you take the counter pick!"

Zhou Dian continued, "Wei Shen, do whatever you want. We'll definitely help you beat Doinb. Today, we have to teach him that you can't just eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want!"
