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

Chapter 2: The Craving for Splitting Returns
Back in his rented room, Zhou Dian took out his phone, opened QQ, joined a group chat, and sent a message:

"Does anyone have a Platinum rank account from the Chinese server? I'll lend it to you for a few games and help you rank up for free!"

By the way, [@everyone]

The group name is 【Top Lane Ancestor Fan Group】.

This group was just created by Zhou Dian yesterday, and there are already over a hundred people in it.

As soon as Zhou Dian, the group leader, spoke up, many people immediately said they had an account.

Who wouldn't love a free rank boost!

Zhou Dian asked them to send their IDs, and he picked one that looked good to log in.

Then, Zhou Dian chose a Platinum V account with the ID "Milk White Snow Child".

Since many viewers complained that the Silver rank was too low in the last Darius tutorial video, he'll switch to a higher rank this time.

Of course, the rank shouldn't be too high; Platinum V is a good fit.

In fact, with Zhou Dian's current skill level, he could easily crush Diamond rank players in Ionia with his eyes closed.

However, his purpose in gathering materials and making instructional videos at this moment is to generate interaction points.

Under what circumstances are audiences more likely to interact?

That's when the material contains points of contention.

As soon as the black and white pieces started arguing, Zhou Dian's interaction points skyrocketed.

Zhou Dian is currently unknown, so his video material is of medium quality, which is most suitable and most likely to arouse the audience's desire to express themselves.

In less than thirty seconds, Zhou Dian was in line.

At this time in 16 and 17, League of Legends had the most players.

In the Platinum tier, the queue times are incredibly fast.

In this game, Zhou Dian was on the fifth floor of the red side, which gave him a counter-position.

Of course, whether or not there is a counter-position is irrelevant to him when playing in this rank.

After the heroes were banned, both sides quickly selected their heroes.

When Zhou Dian saw that the opposing team had picked Fiora for top lane, he recalled a highly-rated comment under his previous tutorial video—

[Do you need to teach Darius how to beat Nasus? Show me how you play Fiora!]

Hey, perfect timing! I'm really craving Darius today, so let's play another game and do a tutorial on Darius laning against light fighters.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Dian won the Platinum rank match.

16 kills and 1 death, an easy carry!

Zhou Dian was very satisfied with the footage from this game, so he didn't continue playing.

Opening the replay of this Darius game from a first-person perspective, Zhou Dian began providing commentary and narration.

Two hours later, the video dubbing was completed.

Zhou Dian opened the UP master backend of his D-site account "Top Laner Ancestor" and uploaded the video.

The title of this video is: "Still no Darius players who can't play Fiora? I'll teach you a trick to easily crush her!"

Soon, viewers who hadn't had enough of arguing under the video "Our Darius players are so skilled!" shifted their focus to arguing under "Top Lane Ancestor's" new video.

Of course, the argument mainly centered between Darius players and those who dislike Darius.

In the Chinese server, there are a lot of players who play Darius.

And there are even more players who hate Darius.

Since his rework, Darius has been known as the "top lane quality inspector".

Discussions about this hero have always been endless.

With the release of the new Darius video, the growth rate of interaction points on the system panel, which had previously slowed down, has accelerated again.

Three days later, the number of followers of the account "Top Laner Ancestor" had exceeded 50,000.

These two recent Darius videos, which were somewhat provocative, have each garnered over 500,000 views.

Although he's far from being famous, he has certainly gained a lot of followers.

Reopen the system panel.

Host: Zhou Dian Interaction Points: 10086
[Over 1 host interaction points detected; ability extraction module activated]

The abilities that can be drawn are divided into three tiers: B, A, and S, which consume 1, 10, and 100 interaction points respectively.

【Do you want to start drawing? 】

Draw it, draw it right now!
A B-rank ability might not be very strong, but let's try drawing one first to see how it goes.

[Consume 1 interaction points to begin drawing B-grade abilities]

[Since this is the host's first time drawing, the level will be automatically upgraded, and this time an A-level ability will be drawn.]

Seeing this, Zhou Dian couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of regret.

If I had known that the first draw would automatically upgrade me to a higher tier, I would have saved up 10 points to draw an S-tier ability.
[Keyword for this ability draw: Fiora]

[Draw complete. Obtained A-rank ability - Supreme Swordsmanship]

[Sword Mastery: Fiora's proficiency is unparalleled worldwide, and the probability of her W skill - Laurent's Eye - blocking control skills has been greatly increased.]

Hearing the system notification, Zhou Dian smiled.

What a powerful title, "Supreme Swordsmanship"!

With a Fiora proficiency level that's unmatched in the world, does that mean I'm now the world's number one Fiora player?
Zhou Dian couldn't wait to play Fiora and experience the new ability he had just acquired.

Look at this unparalleled Fiora proficiency level, just how high is it!
So Zhou Dian logged out of the fan's platinum account that he was using to gather material and logged into his original account.

If you want to experience Fiora at a top-tier proficiency level, Platinum rank is too low; there's simply not enough room to showcase your skills.

This was also the first time he had logged into his "own" account in the Telecom Zone 1 since he transmigrated these past few days.

After logging in, the game ID in the upper right corner is also named "Top Lane Ancestor".

That's so cringeworthy!

But despite its chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) nature, the name is actually quite distinctive.

Therefore, Zhou Dian does not plan to change either the account name he uses to post tutorial videos on D-site or his game nickname in the Chinese server; he will continue to use the name "Top Laner Ancestor."

After logging into the client and opening the profile page, the rank is Diamond I with 75 LP.

Actually, this account used to be Master with over 300 points, but because Zhou Dian's original owner has been playing ranked games for others recently and hasn't been maintaining this account, its rank has dropped all the way to Diamond 1.

But it doesn't matter. Now that Zhou Dian has started playing this account again, his rank will definitely improve.

It's December 2016 now. Season 6 rankings have been settled, and the new Season 7 hasn't started yet; we're currently in the preseason.

During this period, many top players on the Chinese server stopped playing in the high-elo ranks of the Chinese server.

Zhou Dian plans to first reach the top ten in the national server and make his reputation as the "Ancestor of Top Lane" a little bit.

When you open solo queue, your first choice is top lane, and your second choice is mid lane.

Then, Zhou Dian started queuing.

Soon, a match was found, and the ban/pick (BP) interface was accessed.

As soon as we entered, my teammates on the first floor banned Camille.

The Chinese server is currently in version 6.24, and Camille is a new champion that was just released in version 6.24.

The newly released Camille is indeed overpowered in terms of stats, making her a must-ban or must-pick in ranked games.

Of course, most of the time they are banned and cannot be selected at all.

Soon, both sides finished banning players and began selecting players.

In this round, Zhou Dian was on the fourth floor of the red side, giving him a great opportunity to counter with the second move.

Of course, regardless of whether he can pick a hero later, he plans to choose Fiora in this game.

Then, the opponent locked down Noxus Hand on the third floor.

"Wow, what a coincidence!" Zhou Dian muttered.

I just made a tutorial video on Darius vs. Fiora, and this is my first game playing Fiora against Darius.

Zhou Dian immediately locked in Fiora after finding her.

'I crave worthy opponents!'
