League: Educating LPL is my duty.

On July 4th, at Kaohsiung Airport in Taiwan, more than 30 people from the four LPL teams disembarked together.

Because there are a large number of participants in this competition, Tencent Esports also arranged for staff to come and take care of various matters such as accommodation and training for each team.

Among the four teams, Tencent Esports undoubtedly treated EDG the best, especially Li Chen. Before Li Chen arrived, Tencent Esports staff even asked him about his food preferences in order to provide logistical support.

In addition, Tencent Esports also attaches great importance to RNG. In their view, whether LPL can win the championship this year, or even whether an internal regional battle can be staged at the Bird's Nest, depends entirely on the performance of EDG and RNG.

The performance of the two teams in this year's World Championship will directly affect the overall value of the LPL, which translates into real money.

However, everyone is well aware of the current situation of EDG and RNG. Although there is no deep-seated hatred between the players, it is difficult for them to greet each other with smiles.

On their way out of the airport, as expected, they encountered a group of people who were there to pick them up. There were about 30 to 50 people, all of whom were young people, and the vast majority of them were Li Chen's fans.

"C, play well this time and teach this good-for-nothing kid a lesson!" A boy wearing an EDG Li Chen autographed jersey held up a support sign that read "C, fly bravely."

A young and pretty girl next to them called out, "CC, let's go shopping tonight, we'll take you to try some Taiwanese specialties."

Li Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Forget about dinner, we need to get back to training. I'll treat you all to dinner after I win the championship at the Bird's Nest at the end of the year!"

"Hey C, I know a foot massage parlor with really good service. I'll send you the location," a guy with a slightly lewd smile shouted.

Upon hearing this, Li Chen's expression immediately changed, and he said in a low voice, "This classmate, I don't understand what you're talking about. Next time, please just message me privately."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The others watching Li Chen interact with his fans had mixed feelings on their faces.

Spicy Hot Pot stood between Little Tiger and Little Dog, somewhat annoyed, and said, "This guy has only been competing for a year, where did he get so many fans from other places!"

Xiaohu curled his lip: "If you don't lose a single game in half a year, win two championships in a row, and shut out SKT in MSI, you'll have just as many fans. Right now, he's the biggest star in LPL, and his international fame is only slightly less than Faker's."

"Damn it, it's just an MSI championship, let's do it next year, who needs a championship?" Spicy Hot Pot casually remarked.

Xiao Hu was about to speak, but when he caught a glimpse of the injured substitute player, Xiao Gou, standing to the side with a flushed face, glaring at the two of them, he closed his mouth again.

RNG does have a regional championship, but someone else doesn't seem to. Some things need to be said carefully.

After a short stay at the airport, the group boarded vehicles in batches and headed to their hotel.

It's highly likely that the performance at MSI, coupled with the fact that someone keeps trending on social media, has made investors realize the League's influence among young people.

Therefore, Tencent Esports received many more sponsorships in the second half of the year, and now they arrange to book cars in advance for all their travel needs, making sure they don't skimp on the cost.

However, for some reason, the LCK team arrived in Taiwan a step earlier than the LPL team. It was the same scene at the hotel entrance, the same familiar scenario: the LPL team and the LCK team met again.

Without a doubt, EDG and SKT are both among the teams in their respective regions.

Li Chen's gaze swept across the other side, finally meeting Faker's eyes for a moment. For some reason, he felt that Faker seemed to be avoiding him.

However, since they were all old acquaintances, Li Chen didn't act like an outsider and directly pulled the temporary translator over: "Faker, we meet again, let's have lunch together!"

Scout understood his responsibilities well and immediately began acting as a middleman.

Faker pushed up his glasses and said with an awkward smile, "Did you just arrive? Would you like to go check out the rooms first?"

"Just ask them to help carry the things inside. We haven't seen each other in so long, we should get together, right?"

Li Chen put his hand directly on Faker's shoulder, and while talking, he adjusted his direction to face Clearlove.

The factory manager also consciously took out his phone and started taking pictures.

"Alright then, it's my treat this time!"

Faker knew what was coming would eventually come. He had eaten at Li Chen's restaurant last time, and according to custom, he should treat him to a meal in return.

He originally wanted to check out the nearby restaurants to see which one was good value for money, but now it seems he doesn't have time.

A few minutes later, Li Chen pulled Faker and they turned around and left the hotel on the spot. Clearlove, Scout, and Bang were there as guests to accompany them to the meeting... dinner.

Watching the departing figures of the group, people from both the LPL and LCK regions were somewhat confused.

Xiye nudged Meiko beside him with his shoulder and asked, "Is C really that close to Faker? SKT lost so badly at MSI, doesn't he hold a grudge at all?"

Meiko turned to look at Xiye, but instead of answering the question, she smiled shyly and said, "You're finished. You dared to call C God a hater. If C God finds out, he'll definitely come looking for you in the mid lane when he's back for the match."

"He's not here, and he doesn't know," Xi Ye said indifferently.

"I'll talk to him!"

Meiko left a message and then followed the group into the hotel, leaving Xi Ye alone, bewildered in the wind.

Meanwhile, Li Chen and his group strolled around the streets for a while, occasionally taking photos with a few female fans. They eventually settled on a Korean restaurant in Taiwan, but the owner seemed to be a Japanese person.

The owner of Wanwan Korean Restaurant, along with these three, suggests that the food must taste amazing. Li Chen's main approach is to take more photos and eat less, providing material for his fans and haters.

Soon after, Li Chen updated his Weibo with a post: #Reunion with old friends, I couldn't refuse their hospitality!#

Nine photos are also included below.

Those who follow Li Chen received a notification and clicked on it, immediately and ruthlessly exposing his lies.

[Haha, C is old friends with Faker? In the match, they probably wish the other would die a million times over.]

[C, do you want to look at Faker's face? I feel like his heart is bleeding.]

Two old misers have become friends; I feel like the factory's wallet can't handle it.

[As everyone knows, Clearlove always pays for C's meals, but Faker doesn't seem to know.]

[They feed jungle monsters in matches and empty their wallets offline. The team is really feeding their carry too well; he seems to have gained weight lately.]

[Of course, how can the top laner carry if they're not fed?]
