You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 12 Mingkai
At the same time, at Mingjing's home.

While Mingjing was overcoming difficulties in the examination hall, his mother also started her busy work at home, sautéing ginger, garlic and peppercorns in a pan of oil, filling the kitchen with the aroma.

There were several plates of food around my mother.

No matter what the result of Mingjing's competition is, this meal must be made more sumptuous.

Although Hubei does not have its own major cuisine, it is sandwiched between Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, and has been influenced to some extent. Therefore, Hubei people generally like spicy food, and Mingjing is one of them.

My mother just takes a little bit of Sichuan and Hunan cuisine and makes a big hodgepodge, which is pretty much it.

Of course, this meal is not entirely for Mingjing.

We have guests at home today.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door. My mother knew what was going on. She turned off the fire temporarily and hurried to open the door. She saw a man in his twenties standing at the door. From his clothes, it could be seen that he was wealthy, but his dead eyes made him look a little listless.

As if to show his affection, the man was holding a small jar of tea in his hand.

"You're here so soon? Come in, Xiaokai. Why are you carrying things? I was the one who asked you for help."

The mother smiled and invited the child in. "Sit here for a while. Your brother and the others will be back soon. You can have a good chat with him then. Try not to let the game affect his competition. After the competition is over, we won't care what he wants to do."

"Oh, I see." Mingkai sat on the sofa a little stiffly.

Since Mingkai retired two years ago, he has been living a very leisurely life. It can even be said that he is idle and has nothing to do.

Just the night before yesterday, he suddenly received a call from his aunt, saying that his cousin Mingjing had suddenly become addicted to League of Legends for some unknown reason, and was even considering becoming a professional player. His uncle and aunt were worried, so they asked him to come and persuade him.

Having my cousin, a professional player who understands the interests more clearly, to persuade me will definitely be more effective than having both parents.

Of course, Mingkai took the lead in this matter and agreed to it immediately.

But Mingkai still didn't quite understand the details of this matter.
After all, in his impression, his cousin Mingjing never played League of Legends, even when the two met and chatted during the Chinese New Year this year, it was still the same.

It's only been a few months, right? How did he suddenly become so obsessed with it, and even want to play professionally?

Is this profession really that easy? It really requires talent.
Mingkai was a little confused, but there was nothing to think about. He would come back and ask later and everything would be clear.

While it was still early, Mingkai took out his mobile phone and casually opened the LOL event broadcast on Bilibili to take a look.

Although Mingkai has retired for a long time, he still watches LPL games.

Especially today is a key battle.

But as soon as he clicked in, the scene he saw surprised him.

Because it's over.

Two to zero, and both games did not exceed thirty minutes. In this online competition environment, this BO3 did not even exceed an hour and a half.

Mingkai was a little confused.

You know, the two teams played five full games in the spring finals, so on paper they should be evenly matched.

Why is the gap so big in the summer season?

After thinking about it, Mingkai clicked on the game data and took a closer look.

But you can tell the reason at a glance.

Loken is playing with snake today.

特别是首局比赛，卡莎狂砍0-5-2，给对面JackeyLove金克丝送出了12-1-3的恐怖战绩！
While the second game was a bit more stable, it wasn't much better. It was still a pure breakthrough, and none of the four teammates could fill it. Why was Loken in such a bad state today? Mingkai felt a little disappointed and simply exited the match live broadcast room to casually scroll through the videos.

A long title video soon came into view.

But as luck would have it, it just happened to answer his question.

"Loken Susu was playing in a Diamond duo in Zone 1, but ran into a fellow player with a similar account, Fishing. He gave away a double kill at the start, got tower-diving, and was beaten unconscious within three minutes!"

This abstract long title coupled with Loken's painful expression as the video cover is indeed quite advanced, and the traffic-generating effect is maximized. It has received hundreds of thousands of views in less than a day after it was released. It is the culprit that made Loken embarrassed!

The factory manager clicked on it immediately to see what was going on.

In the comments of the video, there are even viewers who just finished watching the game and came to watch it.

[Goodness me, I was wondering why Loken was being abused by Ah Shui like this, here’s the reason]

[Even Jinx can't beat him, so it's normal for him to be beaten by A Shui]

But who is this Jinx? Is she some pro player's smurf?

Mingkai looked at the comments and became more and more interested. He played the video in full screen and watched it carefully.

Professional players should be using dimensionality reduction attacks in the ranking matches. Not to mention those top-tier players, even Loken is the king of the Korean server with a win rate of over 60.

How can I still be beaten by diamonds in zone 1?

But after watching for a while, Mingkai understood.

Loken was indeed pretending and didn't treat the opponent as a human being.

But the opponent's Jinx is really strong
Although there are still some major flaws in the timing of placing wards and handling of minion lines, it is full of the bandit spirit of the ranking, and it can be said that there are many flaws, but the reaction is really fast.

Whether it was Zac's flash A or Galio's flash W, they all missed. There were also various extreme movements to dodge skills, which made the 27-year-old man, the factory manager, amazed.

Could he have reacted so quickly back then?
After watching this video and then watching today's game, everything became clear.

It turns out that my mentality was influenced by passers-by.
This mentality is not good.
At this time, he heard the sound of a door opening. Mingkai looked up and saw that his uncle and cousin had opened the door and entered the house.

Ming Jing looked at his cousin sitting on the sofa and was slightly surprised.

Mom also came out of the kitchen: "You're back? How did you do on the test this afternoon?"

"It's very stable." Ming Jing was calm. "It's a little difficult, but not a big problem."

You only need to rank in the top 50 in this competition to advance to the next level and participate in the National High School Mathematics League held on the second weekend of September every year.

Although the elimination rate was slightly high, the test paper was not difficult for him, so Mingjing still had some confidence.

"So impressive." Ming Kai also stood up and patted Ming Jing's arm. "So he'll be admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University soon, right?"

Ming Jing smiled and said, "It's almost there."

After hearing the good news, my mother felt relieved and said with a smile, "I still have one last dish. Please sit for a while and we'll eat soon!"

After saying that, my mother winked at my nephew.

Ming Kai immediately understood and called out to Ming Jing, "Come and talk for a moment? I have something to talk to you about."

Ming Jing raised an eyebrow, vaguely understanding what his cousin was here for.
