Chapter 340: S7's First Strongest King

The day after the All-Star ended and they returned to the base, the domestic server launched version 6.24.

The S6 season rankings were reset, the S7 season officially opened, and at the same time a new hero was released whose impact on the game's future environment would be profound: Green Steel Shadow·Camille.

Liang Yan simultaneously obtained his own Han Fu super account, that same day he started a livestream, using Green Steel Shadow to jungle and climb ranks, beginning a terrifying Han Fu win streak.

It goes without saying that the livestream's popularity was high; besides domestic viewers, many overseas fans even left the Mouse Platform's livestream unwatched, deliberately climbing over the firewall to come support.

Upon seeing the backend data on a certain fish platform, the new-user acquisition effect of Liang Yan's livestream was extremely terrifying; he was instantly stunned, and simply hung Liang Yan's livestream banner on the homepage.

The platform's this round of pushing and boosting caused Liang Yan's livestream popularity to surge again, easily surpassing the platform's former top streamer, Lu Lao Ye.

The jungle streamers on the same platform were jealous, so they imitated, also starting to use Green Steel Shadow for jungling, trying to ride a wave of heat.

However, Green Steel Shadow in this period when it just came out had its position basically locked to top lane; it is actually unsuitable for jungling: one, its jungle clearing speed is very slow, relying on farming the jungle one cannot develop at all; another, although Green Steel Shadow's skill mechanism is very suitable for catching people, farming the jungle is very damaging, and the result of forcibly catching people is very likely to be an xx linkage—one death and one giveaway.

The result of streamers using Green Steel Shadow for jungling was mostly a reverse rank climb; even Lu Lao Ye directly exclaimed he couldn't handle it, and in the end, aside from some die-hard streamers insisting on practicing Green Steel Shadow jungling, most others chose to give up.

Liang Yan's Han Fu score, however, kept rising; players' super accounts inherently have very high hidden points, and Liang Yan, after returning to China and streaming for three days, used Green Steel Shadow in over 70% of his games, his record being undefeated, and his rank climbing speed far ahead of others.

For a time, it attracted countless attention; major esports media all scrambled to ride the heat in reporting, and the daily web headline was: 'Jiao Shen Han Fu rank climb xx consecutive wins, undefeated so far—who can stop his advance?'

Seeing that this guy was extremely likely to become the first person to reach Champion in the Han Fu new season, a bunch of Han Fu experts and LCK players immediately could not sit still.

How could our great Han Fu tolerate a foreigner riding on our heads and acting wildly!

Well-intentioned people formed an expert group, gathering Han Guo experts who might be matched against Liang Yan, discussed it, and decided to throw away face, determined to take Liang Yan down.

Liang Yan had always been solo queue; after all, two fists are hard to resist four hands, and on the fifth day of his livestream rank climbing, he was finally 'sanctioned' by two actors.

No, those two teammates can no longer be called actors.

That was a pure self-destruct truck.

In the livestream, some people were there gloating:

【Haha, you've been sanctioned now, right!】

【Don't you know that a tall tree catches the wind? You really thought there were no actors in Han Fu!】

Liang Yan hehe laughed twice, stopped matching, on the spot opened the PC version of WeChat, took a screenshot, and sent it to Ta Da Mi Er:

【Is this not going to be banned?】

The livestream audience, upon seeing Liang Yan's conversation partner, was instantly shocked.

Holy shit, the fist boss?

Is it real or not!

Many people didn't believe it, thinking Liang Yan was just messing around; even if he really had the WeChat of the fist boss, he probably wouldn't get a reply, after all, the boss of such a huge company has a million things to handle, who has time to manage such a trivial ranked matter?

One can only say the audience neither understands the fist nor Liang Yan's popularity overseas.

The audience watching the livestream on Mouse Platform had already been angry; Liang Yan being acted upon in this match hadn't even finished when countless netizens ran to the fist official website to report the two actor players, and also left messages on the fist official Twitter, demanding the fist severely punish one of the professional players.

At the critical juncture when the fist's grand ambitions were preparing to make a big splash in Ou Mei, expanding influence with fists and feet, this kind of act that angers the masses is undoubtedly to be handled seriously; otherwise, wouldn't it chill the players' hearts?

The operations department had already detected this wave, but because the matter involved a star of the Firrrrrre level and another LCK professional player, and at the same time the fist Han Guo division had always been very protective of its young, this matter had to be handled carefully, so they didn't act immediately; otherwise, if it were an ordinary player causing this, they'd probably get a pop-up ban as soon as the match ended.

When Ta Da Mi Er received Liang Yan's WeChat message, the operations department head's heel had just left his office, and he immediately gave a solemn reply:

【Please rest assured, we have always been committed to maintaining a fair and just gaming environment; for such scum we will definitely handle it seriously, our headquarters operations staff are already in talks with the Han Guo division, and we will certainly give all players a satisfactory explanation!】

【Okay, thank you very much】

Liang Yan replied with a sentence, and then he continued to click match.

The livestream's barrage instantly exploded, the screen full of question marks.

【No, bro, you really came?!】

【World champion-exclusive service channel……awesome!】

【I can only say awesome!】

【Is this what the privileged class is like?】

……

That night, the fist Han Guo division posted an announcement on Twitter, declaring that the accounts of the two actor players had been banned for three months; at the same time, that professional player was given a two-week suspension.

Besides Han Guo netizens, netizens worldwide rejoiced.

The news spread domestically, and it instantly exploded; related topics flooded all platforms.

Weibo hot search first:

#Jiao Shen's one sentence got the fist to ban accounts#

A certain hu hot ranking first:

【How to view the fact that a famous League of Legends professional player personally sent a message to the fist company's CEO demanding the banning of two Han Fu players?】

Tieba hot post first:

【This, is the world champion's privilege!】

The next day, Faker spoke during a livestream:

"Pretty good, I think it should be like this."

"Fire may be an LPL player, but his Han Fu account is legal."

"Moreover, even if Fire lacks proper qualifications, they shouldn't be playing games like this. When I encounter such people in ranked, I also get angry and also report."

"Mm, I think the ban is good."

"Privilege and such, well, I think this is quite normal; I also have contact information for Ta Da Mi Er, this is not really a privilege, just……uh, a more convenient channel for handling things, I think."

"Of course, I'm not that familiar, so I wouldn't directly send a message."

……

After the actor incident, no one dares to openly act when matched against Liang Yan.

Then, the unwilling Han Fu experts' troupe unleashed a more extreme move: the internet-cutting great method!

No more pretending—just pull the network cable!

Physical network cut!

This move is indeed vicious; even fists can't do anything about it.

Although Liang Yan's 100% win‑rate myth was broken, no one could still stop his score‑climbing pace.

On the day before the LPL group draw, Liang Yan successfully reached the Challenger tier, becoming Han Fu's S7 season first strongest Challenger, and his score opened a gap of over a hundred points over second place.

VG's official Weibo specially posted a celebration microblog:

【Congratulations to our team player Firrrrrre for becoming Han Fu's S7 season first Challenger!】
