A short while later.
Several people had already gathered around Kid's computer at the IG clubhouse.
Manager Su Xiaoluo looked skeptical. "Is this guy really as amazing as you say?"
Kid nodded firmly. "Trust me. Once you see his match history, you'll understand!"
His face brimmed with confidence, as though he had achieved those results himself.
Soon, with everyone watching, Kid opened the player's match history again.
Immediately.
A sea of green victories, accompanied by one MVP after another, filled their eyes.
Kid even opened the account overview. "Look, Master, 520 LP, a 90% win rate. Heh, I wasn't lying, was I?"
"Hiss..."
Everyone around him sucked in a sharp breath.
Especially their AD carry, West.
Faced with someone who was clearly a threat to his position, he had initially wanted to make a few disparaging remarks.
But after seeing that match history, he promptly shut his mouth. Results like those were beyond his right to judge.
Rookie's eyes widened. "Dude, are you sure he isn't cheating?"
The others looked equally incredulous.
No matter how they looked at it, those hardly seemed like results a human could achieve.
After all, even the current number one on the Chinese server only had a 58% win rate.
This guy had broken 90%. Was he even human?!
And judging by his match history, he played AD carry most of the time.
In this game, AD carry was arguably the role with the least influence over how a match unfolded.
Winning depended heavily on whether your teammates delivered.
The mages and assassins in mid and jungle could make your health bar vanish in an instant.
The tanks and bruisers in top and jungle could show you what it meant to barely tickle someone, then kill you with a single combo once you finished scratching them.
There were even frequent, ridiculous scenes where both supports killed the opposing AD carry, then quietly farmed a few minions and recalled.
Achieving such a terrifying win rate as an AD carry was almost impossible.
It demanded unimaginable levels of awareness and skill across the board!
"Come on, don't you trust me?" Kid waved a hand and leaned back in his chair like an old man. "I've played ranked for years. I can tell at a glance whether someone's scripting."
Some of this player's mechanics and movements in lane were admittedly so bizarre that they looked like a script.
But in teamfights, whether he was finding the best position to deal damage, sneaking in extra hits, or deciding when to fight and when to hold back, his judgment was frighteningly clear!
At that thought, Kid added, "Besides, climbing to this rank with that win rate, he must've been reported by loads of people. If he still hasn't been banned, doesn't that tell you something?"
Beside him.
Coach Mafa narrowed his eyes and mused, "In that case, perhaps... this is another prodigy?"
Speaking of prodigies, IG actually had one of their own.
JackeyLove, Yu Wenbo, was a young AD carry who had topped the Chinese server at fourteen and the Korean server at sixteen.
He was simply too young to compete. Otherwise, he would have replaced West as their starting AD carry long ago.
But even he could never achieve such an absurd win rate.
Ninety percent... that wasn't a prodigy anymore. That was a fucking monster!
Not far away, Yu Wenbo, who had come along to see what the fuss was about, felt a chill run through him. He looked around in confusion, but found nothing and could only scratch his head.
"Chen,Yu. Is anyone familiar with that ID?" Su Xiaoluo asked the group, seemingly having made up his mind.
Rookie and the others shook their heads blankly. "Never heard of him."
It was a fresh account that had only climbed up the rankings this week.
Besides, professional players spent most of their time on the Korean server. It was perfectly normal that they didn't know him.
It looked more like someone's alternate account.
Su Xiaoluo fell silent for a moment. "Anyway, everyone try to find a way to contact him. Ask about his background and whether he'd be willing to come for a tryout."
"Okay." Kid nodded. "I'll queue more over the next couple of days. If I run into him again, I'll try adding him."
Rookie and the others chimed in beside him. "We'll do it too."
Su Xiaoluo rubbed his chin. "If he really is this strong, he'd be perfect for IG..."
There was no helping it.
For the current IG roster, their biggest weakness was the bot lane.
In top lane, they had S6 champion Duke, with The Shy as a substitute.
In mid lane, they had Rookie, who was practically the director of an orphanage.
Their jungler had originally been Kid, but they had also borrowed a talented jungler, Ning, from YM.
Only the bot lane remained.
They did have JackeyLove, Yu Wenbo, who might be able to carry the team, but he was too young and would have to wait more than half a year before he could play.
For now, West could only hold the position.
Their bot lane was the weak point opponents exploited in practically every game!
And since S7 began, Riot Games had kept updating the game, while Ardent Censer had also emerged.
The entire pace of League of Legends had shifted toward the almighty bot-lane AD carry.
Essentially, whichever team's AD carry stepped up first and took over the game would win.
The role was so important, yet it happened to be IG's exact weakness.
No wonder Su Xiaoluo was anxious.
Over the following week.
The ID Chen,Yu continued climbing the Chinese server at a maddening pace!
700, 900, 1,200...
Finally, he reached 1,580 LP with an unprecedented, terrifying 85% win rate and claimed the top spot on the Chinese server!
For a time, countless eyes across the country turned toward him.
Whether in major streamers' chat rooms, on Weibo, or on forums, everyone was talking about it!
For example, the famous Anti-Pressure Bar.
A thread titled "Brothers, he's number one on the Chinese server! Chen,Yu! The eternal god!" was bumped to the very top of the front page.
The second thread was titled "A rational discussion: who's stronger, this new AD carry god Chen,Yu or Uzi?"
The third: "With a win rate this ridiculous, is he really that good, is he cheating, or is he fixing matches?"
"Holy shit, he really hit number one!"
"I've watched
spectator footage of this guy. His laning and teamfighting are works of art!"
"He carries every game. Do you even understand how much it means to carry every single game?"
"This guy has a whole ocean of champions. In the AD carry role alone, I've seen him play over a dozen different champions, and he's mastered every one!"
"Who the hell is he? Could this be some pro player's alternate account?"
"A pro? Even Uzi couldn't put up results like this, okay?"
"Lol, some random ranked player thinks he can compare to Uzi? Go show off in a couple of pro games before you talk. Haven't we seen enough people who dominate ranked and flop in competition?"
"Exactly. Uzi at least has Worlds runner-up finishes. These LPL AD carries should stop trying to compare themselves to him."
"Whatever you say, this guy is scarier than Dopa. At the very least, his win rate is way higher."
"Do you people even understand what it means to reach number one on the Chinese server with an 85% win rate? A monster like this has never existed before, okay?"
"..."
While people online were furiously debating the matter.
The various teams and clubs also began making their moves.
In the current meta.
There was no need to explain what a top-tier AD carry meant.
Even RNG, who already had Uzi, had begun paying attention to this Chen,Yu.
They would rather have him serve as Uzi's substitute and rotate into the lineup.
Than let him join another team!
He was too big a threat!
And IG, the club that had first discovered the Chen,Yu account, was now practically frantic!
They had clearly found him first.
Yet a whole week had passed, and they still hadn't managed to contact him. Su Xiaoluo was hopping mad with anxiety!
