Good grief! C God was with RNG?

It was still early, and Lu Chen was the only person in the training room. Everyone else was either still asleep or washing up and eating breakfast.

For esports players, playing Ranked late into the night was perfectly normal. Naturally, going to bed late meant getting up late.

Lu Chen had only gone to bed so early because he had joined yesterday and had yet to officially start training.

Now, after finishing his stream title, Lu Chen finally clicked the button to go live.

The moment his stream started,

a few scattered chat messages began drifting across the screen.

"Am I seeing things? Is this C God's stream?"

"IG ChenYu. Who else could it be?"

"Everyone at IG streams on Tiger Shark, and C God's with IG now too. Makes sense. I've been waiting since yesterday."

"It really is C God! Holy shit! Mom, come look what I found!"

"Where's the webcam? Show yourself, you monster! Let me see what you actually look like!"

"Turn on your webcam! A stream without a webcam has no soul!"

Reading the messages, Lu Chen's mouth twitched. He genuinely had no idea what to say.

In fact, he had streamed during his two years in RNG's youth academy too.

After all, the streaming industry was enjoying a boom these days.

All the major clubs had contracts with streaming platforms and set streaming quotas for their players.

Back then, his streams had only attracted a handful of viewers, and practically nobody said anything. Lu Chen had even wondered whether those few viewers were bots planted by the platform.

It was nothing compared to the "bustling scene" of chat messages appearing the instant he went live now!

Moreover, as soon as Lu Chen started streaming, Tiger Shark's promotion kicked in, pushing his stream straight onto the League of Legends category's front page!

Even setting aside his status as a professional player, he was still C God, the monster who had reached number one on the Chinese server with an 85% win rate!

By now, every platform knew perfectly well how much traffic and attention the name "C God" could draw.

During this offseason with no matches, the ID "Chen,Yu" was practically synonymous with traffic!

Before long,

viewers began flooding into the stream.

In just a few minutes, the viewer count shot from a few dozen to tens of thousands!

And as plenty of viewers looking for entertainment spread the word on their own, more and more people learned that Lu Chen was streaming. His viewer count continued climbing at an astonishing rate.

For a moment, chat went flying across the screen.

"Holy shit! C God!"

"The C God who's number one on the Chinese server? Is this really him?!"

"Why's there no webcam? Thumbs down."

"I finally lived long enough to see C God stream. What a journey."

"C God, I heard you joined IG. Did you get a starting spot?"

"Come on, come on! League of Legends, launch!"

"I can't wait to watch the streamer stomp people at the top of the Chinese ladder!"

"LOL, instead of going pro, you're hiding here as some small-time streamer? Oh, right, you're already a pro. Never mind."

"Wait, what's with this stream title? The streamer sucks? Are you trolling?"

A deluge of messages swept across the screen, far too many to take in.

Looking at them, Lu Chen finally snapped out of his daze.

"Ahem..." He cleared his throat. "I'll be playing some Ranked on the Korean server today. If I suck, go easy on me, okay?"

He had no choice.

The club had a Ranked point requirement for the Korean server.

He had been focused entirely on the Chinese server before, so now he naturally had to play on the Korean server.

"Got it. The streamer likes saying the opposite of what he means."

"So how many points does C God have on the Korean server?"

"I've honestly never heard how C God does on the Korean server."

"He's probably at least Challenger."

Before chat could ask any more questions,

Lu Chen had already launched his network accelerator and opened the Korean client that the club had installed beforehand.

"I do have a Korean account," Lu Chen said as he logged in. "But I probably haven't touched it in a year. I'll likely have to start with placements..."

He had created this Korean account back when he was in RNG's youth academy.

But at the time, Lu Chen had only been an academy player, and a substitute at that. RNG had never required him to achieve any particular results on the Korean server.

So he had casually played for two weeks, then left it untouched.

Soon,

once he finished logging in, the game interface appeared on-screen.

Every viewer, including Lu Chen himself, saw the account's ID.

RNG Chen!

After a brief silence, chat exploded!

"???"

"What did I just see? RNG?"

"What the fuck? What the hell is RNG doing there?!"

"Did he... borrow this account from an RNG player?"

"But the problem is, RNG doesn't have anyone called Chen."

"Could he be from their second team?"

"I looked it up. RNG's academy really did have someone called Chen, but he was just a substitute, and they've already officially announced his departure."

"Could it be-and I'm just saying it's possible-that C God... used to be with RNG?"

"Whoa... did I just discover something huge?"

"Fuck! I searched forever and couldn't find a single match this Chen played in. Not one!"

"Come on, use your brains. If they really had someone as good as C God, would RNG let him go to IG?"

"Hard to say. The boss has the power of money."

"C God! Say something! You had the guts to log in, so have the guts to speak!"

"C God, why are you silent? Your silence is deafening!"

Chat kept scrolling past as though everyone had gone insane.

Lu Chen merely raised his eyebrows and calmly went to the shop to buy a name-change card.

Then he changed "RNG Chen" to "IG ChenYu."

Chat immediately erupted again. Clearly, Lu Chen's slick little move had left them all stunned.

"Well, damn. Staying silent to look cool?"

"Bro, do you think changing it means we'll pretend we never saw it?!"

"Classic head-in-the-sand move, huh?"

"I'm already imagining tomorrow's trending headlines

and what they'll look like."

"Check mine out: 'Shocking! RNG's discarded prodigy returns to glory! After suffering endless oppression, what storm of vengeance will he unleash?'"

"Explain yourself! The suspense is killing me."

"Are we seriously about to get a huge scoop?"

"Ahem..." Lu Chen gave a light cough and said calmly, "A little slipup. Don't worry about it. Just watch the stream."

Seeing that Lu Chen was determined not to explain, and had even started clicking into Ranked, plenty of viewers completely lost it.

Countless people poured onto other online platforms, determined to expose their "shocking discovery"!

RNG's official social media account, in particular, became ground zero.

"@RNG Esports Club, I heard C God used to be one of yours? That can't be true, right? Surely not? Surely not?"

"LOL, RNG, you've really got guts. You actually dared to let a player like this go?"

"Just what I'd expect from you, RNG. So generous."

"As an IG fan, all I want to say is, thank you, RNG. Because of you, IG feels the warmth~"

"What do you know? This is what it means for the LPL to be one big family, sharing success and setbacks. RNG already has Uzi, so they sent C God to IG to greatly improve the LPL's chances of winning Worlds this year! RNG, seriously, I'm crying~"

"@RNG Esports Club, stop playing dead. Come out and answer!"
