Chapter 1: Faker's 7th Championship, LPL is about to disband!
Chapter 1: Faker's 7th Championship, LPL is about to disband!
"This crown is dedicated to all of humanity!"
In November 2026, at the age of 30 years and 6 months, Faker lifted his seventh World Championship trophy and led his team to victory against Grok5, the strongest AI team assembled by Musk's team. He then spoke with tears in his eyes.
At this moment, League of Legends players all over the world were shaken!
In the same year, the North American LCS region announced its disbandment, and the European LEC region announced the creation of its own regional league.
LPL has announced that it will no longer participate in the Pioneer Tournament, MSI, and World Championship the following year.
Netizens launched a barrage of insults:
"Right, right, if you can't handle it, stop playing and go home to wash up and go to bed."
"It should have been disbanded long ago. What's the point of continuing the league?"
"Tencent Esports is a shoddy operation, and the LPL is garbage. They should just follow the example of Europe and America and disband!"
"Congratulations to Faker on his seventh championship! Even the bots couldn't stop Lee Sang-hyeok from winning!"
"If you can win a championship with Dolan and Peyz, who has any dreams left?"
"I can't be a spinning top unless I play in the World Championship! Humph!"
"Even someone as strong as Faker won't be able to pull off an LPL spinning top in 2027."
"Never resting on good deeds during normal times, tormenting everyone in matches, showing off by spawn-camping, and paying the price for bad deeds on other stations. Spinning like a top on the Swiss wheel, forgetting who I am when dawn breaks."
Lin Jin typed rapidly in the forum, joining the online battle against LPL.
Like many League of Legends fans, Lin Jin started playing and watching LOL a long time ago, and he wholeheartedly supports his team every year at the World Championship.
They insult each other in the league, but unite against external enemies in the World Championship.
However, he was manipulated by various LPL teams every year, and after winning three S-series championships with the help of foreign players, he never made any progress and just coasted along.
Are you going to use up all the energy you didn't have in the finals in the commercial K game?
If my salary drops, I'll take a break. In the third stage, I'll find a strong teammate to help me get into the World Championship and make a killing.
Every transfer window, they keep bringing up Zaozi's comeback for marketing purposes. He's already had three children, let him go.
The version is outdated, the draft is formulaic, the matches are just a daily check-in, Weibo posts are a must, apologies are the fastest, the plane must be first class, the food is unpalatable, and dawn must be forgotten. It's another day of pursuing dreams and chasing championships!
Lin Jin typed furiously, pounding the bed as he typed, causing the bunk beds in the dormitory to shake constantly.
The guy in the lower bunk tossed him a pack of tissues: "Jin-ge, take it easy."
Lin Jin: "Damn, you're jungling..."
Just as he was about to curse, a sudden explosion echoed in Lin Jin's mind.
"The host's extreme resentment towards LPL has been detected. We are angry at its lack of competitiveness and saddened by its misfortune! Congratulations on triggering the LPL Salvation System!"
"The host will be randomly reborn into each World Championship from S1 to S16, using their own strength to help the LPL overcome difficulties in the World Championship. Within a limited time, if a certain amount of salvation value is reached, it will be considered a successful salvation; otherwise, the salvation will fail and the game will be rolled back and restarted."
"The first act of salvation is about to begin: Time, the S12 World Championship!"
"The system is loading. Now, add points to the host's basic abilities."
"Racing: 100!"
Team fight: 100!
"Hand speed: 100!"
"Consciousness: 100!"
"Overall perspective: 100!"
Leadership: 100!
「英雄熟练度:战士100%、法师100%、射手100%、坦克100%、刺客100%、辅助100%!」
what?
What's going on?
What kind of rescue system is this? What kind of arrival at the S-series?
Also, there was no LPL in S1 and S2!
Before Lin Jin could react, his brain was flooded with a sea of information, completely saturating him without any warning.
"Please choose one of the six teams in the LPL regional qualifiers for the S12 World Championship to begin your rescue journey:"
"JDG, TES, EDG, RNG, LNG, V5."
Without thinking, Lin Jin almost instinctively shouted, "Top Esports!"
…………
Lying in the dormitory of the League of Legends division of Top Esports Club, Lin Jin spent a long time digesting the information he had just received.
He was indeed reborn, returning to the fall of 2022, which is now 8 a.m. on September 4th.
In just a few hours, the final match of the S12 qualifiers will begin, a battle between Li-Ning and RNG for the fourth seed.
JD Gaming, Top Esports, and EDG have already secured their spots in the World Championship.
Lin Jin was a substitute top laner for Top Esports at the time, with the ID "fire".
"The situation in S12 is very delicate. It's basically the turning point for LPL, from its peak to its decline," Lin Jin murmured.
He is familiar with the history of the LPL every year.
Before the start of the S12 World Championship, LPL viewers were determined to defend their title and looked down on LCK and other regions.
No wonder, LPL has won three championships in four years, only losing the 19 MSI championship and the 20 World Championship.
Last year, EDG and RNG teamed up to dominate major tournament championships for a year.
This year at MSI, RNG defeated T1, who were invincible in the regular season and were hailed as the strongest team in history, to win the MSI championship.
In the summer, RNG, the MSI champion, could only compete for the fourth seed.
If the fourth seed can beat you, does that mean the top three seeds of the LPL are even more invincible?
Every LPL fan felt that defending their title at this World Championship was only a matter of time.
Lin Jin sneered: "Arrogance is a recipe for defeat, and that begins from this moment."
At this moment, a message also arrived from the system:
Current rescue value: 0%
"Rescue period: 62 days."
"Target rescue value: 80%"
"Lower than the target rescue value, the judgment failed, and the host will be rolled back and restarted."
Grass!
Upon seeing the words "erased," Lin Jin felt a chill run down his spine.
He even planned to be reborn, quit his job, buy a lottery ticket, make money, and live a carefree life. He didn't care about LPL or any kind of "savior"; it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing the system's task completely dispelled his idea.
There was no other way but to bite the bullet and do it.
Lin Jin calculated that sixty-two days would be exactly the day the World Championship ended.
The system's message is clear: helping LPL win the championship? Does that guarantee success?
But in the Top Esports team...
S12 is the famous "Vietnam War" incident.
Lin Jin was certain that if he lost to Vietnam even once, his "salvation value" would never rise again, and he would definitely fail.
This year's Top Esports lineup features two carries, Brother and Left Hand, with Gao Tianliang in the jungle, rookie Da Huang in the top lane, and veteran Mark as support.
This lineup, having successfully conquered the north in the spring and seemingly on the verge of reaching the top, was plunged into the abyss by Aphelios from the back alley and Bin's Jax.
Summer Top Esports successfully gelled and made it to the finals, battling JD Gaming for five games. However, the brother's overcoming of the mountain cost them the championship.
In this parallel world, all of these things exist, except that there is an extra substitute, Lin Jin, who rarely gets a chance to play.
He played two games in the regular season, winning one and losing one. After losing one game, he never had another chance to play.
Coach White Crescent kept promising him: "Little Fire, train hard, and one day you will definitely become a core player."
I don't believe you for a second! That old geezer is wicked!
Lin Jin thought to himself that he couldn't stay passive like this forever. Otherwise, he would only have a chance to play when Da Huang went through his rebellious phase and White Crescent banned him.
"First, improve my ranking! Then try to get a chance to play in practice matches!"
Thinking of this, Lin Jin got excited, sat up abruptly, washed up, and went to the training room to start fighting.
