Chapter 14

Being able to break into the top 32 at the Golden Grand Prix already means that William Parker's skill level has far surpassed that of a King-ranked player in the Zu'an region, and he can definitely be considered part of the top King-tier circle in Region 1.

As Gu Long said, wherever there are people, there is a jianghu—a world of intrigue—and it's the same in League of Legends. If you're a King in a suburban region, people don't even recognize your ID.

Don't be fooled by how impressive William Parker is at Shanghai Political University, claiming to be the number one expert there, but once he enters the circle of real top players, as a suburban King, he's just a little brother. The real Region 1 Kings—who even knows who you are?

But once you've made it into the top 32 of the Golden Grand Prix, your status in the community changes instantly. At the very least, even the Kings from Region 1, when they see this ID, won't say, "Who is this guy? Some noob, never heard of him."

"Wow, William Parker bro, you're really something! You made it to the top 32 and still think you're not good enough? What are the rest of us supposed to do then?" Sophie Stone immediately shouted in an exaggerated tone.

Alice Green still maintained a reserved and proud demeanor, but when looking at William Parker, the challenge in his eyes had clearly diminished, even replaced by a hint of respect.

This is the influence of making it into the top 32 of the Golden Grand Prix.

Thanks to Sun's Descendant King and All-Skin Little Hand for the 100,000 grand reward, achieving the status of era leader—thank you.

Chapter 11: Wolf King

William Parker deliberately brought this up just to put Alice Green in his place. Being Diamond 1 in Region 1 is impressive, but don't think you're really stronger than a King like me.

His title as the number one expert at Shanghai Political University is definitely not an empty boast.

"William Parker bro, come on, let's have a drink. Tell me about what happened at the Golden Grand Prix. I got invited to join a team this year, but I didn't go. I'm planning to participate next year, though." Sure enough, when Alice Green spoke to William Parker again, his attitude was clearly different.

"Heh, it's nothing much. If you want to get results at the Golden Grand Prix, you first need a team that plays together regularly—ideally one that's been practicing together for at least half a year, or even longer. Although the Golden Grand Prix is an online amateur tournament, the pace is completely different from ranked games. The further you go, the more it resembles a professional match. If you think you can just form a temporary team and make a run for it, my advice is to give up now—you won't even make it past the first three rounds of the qualifiers."

"Oh, oh," Alice Green nodded repeatedly. At least, he seemed to be thoroughly convinced by William Parker. After all, they all wanted to show off a bit in front of Andrew Miller and maybe earn some extra points—if the boss was in a good mood, he might just throw a few thousand or even tens of thousands their way.

Andrew Miller, standing to the side, always wore a smile. He also wanted to get a sense of these three's abilities. Graduation was approaching, and he had a series of plans in motion. This city tournament was just one part of it. Although he wasn't short on money, he expected a return on his investment.

"Let's not talk about pro players. Are there any particularly amazing amateurs right now?" Andrew Miller asked.

"Some streamers are pretty good, but if we're talking about the best, it has to be Brother Xiao Hai, Edward King. He's called the Chinese ony, only 16 years old, number one on the national server, an absolute genius," Alice Green said. "I went up against him once, and I got crushed at level 3—he's brutal."

Even though he got crushed, Alice Green still showed off the superiority of Region 1, since all the top players and pros are there. As a Diamond 1 player, he often runs into these people.

Even Grace Harris, who isn't that skilled, knows about ony. He's a legend—many people even think he's synonymous with League of Legends. He's a Korean pro who debuted at his peak, and then kept getting even better, the first to win every major title. The thing is, he's not even 19 yet, and he looms over the entire League of Legends scene like a demon god.

To be called the Chinese ony is the highest praise for Edward King.

"Edward King is great, but if we're talking about who's really amazing, if Wolf King is second, I honestly don't think Edward King is first. If Wolf King played ranked, Edward King might not be able to beat him," William Parker said calmly.

Alice Green curled his lips but didn't argue. No high-level player doesn't know about Wolf King, but he felt there was no comparison with Edward King.

Sensing the awkwardness, Grace Harris asked curiously, "Who is this Wolf King? He sounds pretty impressive."

A pretty girl's question always carries weight. Sophie Stone smiled and said, "No one knows who Wolf King really is. He's the captain of the Sha Po Lang team. Before he joined, Sha Po Lang was just a decent team, but after he joined Wolf Team, no one else could survive. There's even a legend about how he became captain."

"Oh? Tell us about it."

"Back then, Sha Po Lang was playing an SOO match without a password, and someone with the ID 'You Can't See Me' somehow got in. He used random champions to wipe out all the Sha Po Lang players. All of them were Region 1 Kings."

"Random champions?" Andrew Miller was a bit skeptical—he had enough skill to judge.

"Who knows if it's true, but anyway, this guy joined the team, and not long after, Cheng Feng gave up the captain's spot. You all know Cheng Feng is famous for his pride—he wouldn't step down unless he was truly convinced. After that, Wolf Team's strength skyrocketed, holding the top spot on the team rankings. This year, several members even joined pro teams, and they've become a legend in the community. They won this year's Golden Grand Prix, totally dominating—absolutely crushing," William Parker chimed in excitedly.

"Is he a mid laner?" Grace Harris asked.

"Support," Alice Green replied.
