Chapter 58: It’s Not Like I Can’t Accept It
Soon, in EDG’s Super Topic, a record of Li Fan’s match appeared, along with his rank records for three months. A screenshot of Li Fan during his upper-body live stream was attached, along with his statement from the final interview.
【 Match authentication, trash data from rank matches will affect my judgment.】
This photoshopped picture by netizens quickly surged to the trending list, and the discussion in the Super Topic was very lively, with comments exceeding twenty thousand in no time.
Besides fans of Li Fan’s other games, EDG fans also returned excitedly.
The reason is actually quite simple: even the most loyal fans don’t like to frequent forums and discussion groups when they keep losing.
Outputting damage when at a disadvantage is actually a very difficult thing to do.
When people taunt you face-to-face, you quickly lose all your spirit.
For example, back in Season 4, WE fans would curse at Clearlove every day, calling him a traitor. But in the end, because WE’s results couldn’t compare to EDG’s, those voices gradually decreased.
After EDG won championship after championship, these negative rumors had to be specifically searched for to be found.
【 I feel like I’m similar to Unreal. If I play rank for a long time, I definitely won’t play well. However, if I play one game a day, I can achieve win streaks.】
【 Where are the haters from before? Step out and take a few steps! I haven’t seen a real clown in real life.】
【 Hiss, no one actually believes that, right? To be honest, the victory in today’s two matches was more about tactics. The first surprise was picking Lucian in the mid lane, which GT didn’t expect. This hero is already strong in the early game, and Syndra couldn’t match Lucian in lane.
As for the third game, Lulu clearly intended to play defensively. But unexpectedly, GT picked a Viktor to farm, and Lulu’s damage in the early game was very exaggerated, so she easily achieved suppression. In conclusion, in these two matches, I haven’t seen what makes Unreal so strong, yet he talks so arrogantly.】
【 Come quickly, there’s an honest person here!】
【 Didn’t you all notice everyone was making jokes? Only you took it seriously, it’s quite funny.】
【 Do you really think everyone doesn’t know Unreal doesn’t have much strength and only wins because his opponents are weak? Everyone is just happy that they won the match.】
【 Heh heh heh, you people are just psychologically dark and can’t stand the existence of such a genius. The LoL Dog community can’t keep such a master, so come to the QQ Speed circle. The offline match is coming soon anyway.】
Li Fan’s fans, seeing him being belittled like this, couldn’t help but jump out and argue with these people.
This argument immediately escalated, igniting the second round of the war of words between League of Legends and QQ Speed.
The amicable atmosphere instantly disappeared.
Although Li Fan made a heroic comeback and led the team to victory.
Most people still thought his words were purely for humor and show effect.
Many professional players have said in interviews that if you stop playing a game for just one day, you’ll become stiff.
Someone like you who plays once every three months…
How can you maintain good form consistently?
These words are pure trolling, they are just telling the truth.
You QQ Speed players have lost your minds supporting your players. League of Legends is the true competitive game, while QQ Speed purely cultivates brainless fans from the fan circle.
“Damn! Even after winning the match, there’s so much drama, this is heaven-defying.” Abu looked at the notifications on his mobile phone, feeling very speechless.
After four consecutive losses, he hadn’t been on Weibo for a few days. He had planned to watch the reactions on Weibo during the exhibition matches, but he never expected there would be so much drama.
I’m impressed!
This Li Fan guy really has extreme reputations; those who like him love him to death, and those who hate him wish he would die.
However, Abu was in a good mood now and wasn’t significantly affected by the online drama.
He then glanced at the players chatting on the bus and could clearly feel that everyone’s spirits were much better.
The previous four consecutive losses had dealt a significant blow to their confidence, and the impact was definitely there.
Listening to them chat now, you could feel the vibrancy of youth.
Now it’s good, they are not defeated captives but victorious generals. The team won’t feel as much pressure now and can approach the upcoming matches with an optimistic attitude.
However, the troublesome part is that because they lost so much earlier, if they still want to contend for first place, they will have to depend on WE’s performance. If WE doesn’t lose two matches, even if they beat WE later, it will be useless.
It can’t be helped, it’s purely a pit dug earlier.
This pit was dug too deep, and it won’t be easy to fill it.
Of course, the coach will have to think carefully about all of this.
Abu patted Kuaisu Xing, who was sitting next to him.
“Pay more attention to the players’ states in the upcoming matches.”
Kuaisu Xing nodded, but he still felt very depressed.
He then thought of how Scout looked at him in the lounge earlier.
The anger that had no outlet finally found a place to vent.
“Li Yichan! Your performance today was embarrassing, go back and practice for ten more hours!”
Scout trembled instantly, then looked up at Kuaisu Xing. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but facing Kuaisu Xing’s fierce gaze, the words that came out were: “Yes!”
This was something spoken between Koreans, and the translator next to them chose not to translate it.
Meanwhile, Zet, who was happily chatting with Meiko, saw his smile slowly disappear, and his voice lowered several decibels.
When seniors got angry and started scolding, they could only accept it.
They quickly lowered their heads, afraid of being noticed by Kuaisu Xing.
Fortunately, Kuaisu Xing didn’t seem to intend to trouble him, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
It must be said, after all this, Kuaisu Xing felt his mood improved a lot.
Thinking about it, being kicked out might not be so bad. Going back to Korea would be more enjoyable than staying at EDG, right?
The only problem is it’s a bit embarrassing, as he had only been there for a year.
“Li Fan, want to duo queue with me later?” Clearlove had previously resolved never to duo queue with Li Fan again.
However, after comfortably playing one game today while being carried, he changed his mind again.
Li Fan looked at Clearlove’s serious expression… and shook his head.
“I have a lot to do tonight. I need to play Crossfire, and I haven’t finished my AFK tasks in Speed, so I don’t have time.”
When Clearlove heard this, he thought he would be as angry as last time, but for some reason, he felt that Li Fan was explaining to him, and it was somewhat acceptable.
Finally, he smiled.
“Then let’s duo queue next time!”
