Chapter 106: What I’m Thinking Can’t Be Broadcast!
Stage lights focused, accompanied by the enthusiastic cheers and applause from the on-site audience, Clearlove and Li Fan walked onto the interview area one after the other through the player tunnel.
Clearlove’s face still showed hardly any expression, which everyone was already used to, but even the funniest Li Fan was the same.
Perhaps feeling that this was a bit impolite, both nodded to the on-site audience.
Host Yu Shuang wore a qipao in blue-and-white porcelain color, smiling as she came up: “Welcome our EDG mid-jungle duo Clearlove and Unreal, say hello to everyone first.”
It has to be said, Yu Shuang really likes wearing qipaos.
It might also have something to do with her figure; a tighter qipao on her is indeed extremely tempting.
But this time, she didn’t open the neckline too low.
“Hello everyone, I’m EDG’s jungler Clearlove.” Clearlove said into the microphone, and cheers immediately erupted from below the stage.
“Hello everyone, I’m EDG’s mid laner Unreal.” Li Fan’s voice was relatively flat, but the on-site cheers didn’t diminish at all, especially the fans holding his support signs who shouted extra hard.
Everyone didn’t think highly of you, but you turned out to be the most reliable.
Those who posted those comments online are like mice in the sewer; after EDG won the match, they disappeared without a trace.
Now there’s only one-sided praise; honestly, this face-changing makes these loyal fans feel extremely disgusted.
Full screen of praise, so where are those shotguns from before? They couldn’t have suddenly vanished into thin air, right?
At this time, those who dare to output in disadvantage are even more worthy of respect.
【Holy crap! Same frame! EDG mid-jungle first joint post-match interview!】
【Clearlove’s fatherly smile, Fan Ge still as cold as ever.jpg】
【Why do these two look so funny standing together?】
【To be fair, it’s true; Clearlove originally looked scary, but now he even has a smile.】
【Still, they can win matches; if they lose, see if he’s like this—definitely a black face, like owing him a few hundred bucks.】
“First, congratulations to EDG for cleanly sweeping today’s match 3:0 and advancing to the next round.” Yu Shuang looked at Clearlove and started the first question.
“First question, we want to ask Clearlove, the team’s overall performance today was outstanding, especially mid laner Unreal player, who showed extremely strong dominance in all three games. As the jungler, how did you communicate and cooperate with him during the match?”
Clearlove took the microphone and smiled: “Um… today’s overall execution of the pre-match tactics was pretty good, mainly because the pre-match preparation was indeed quite sufficient.”
“Cooperation with Fan Ge… it’s actually very simple, because his laning is very strong; mid lane doesn’t even need my help to easily gain advantage. In that case, what I need to do is counter-gank when he’s pushing lane.”
“Appear in time when he has kill potential, then give him resources in mid-game; after that, just wait for the opponent to be dealt with by Fan Ge, then push.”
Clearlove paused and said something similar to last time: “Honestly, with this kind of mid laner, the jungler can just lie down and it’s easy.”
The audience below immediately burst into laughter.
【Ming Kai: Hug tight the mid lane dad’s thigh!】
【Real talk! With this kind of mid carrying, jungler is indeed very comfortable.】
【Affirmation from jungle dad!】
Yu Shuang also laughed and turned to Li Fan: “Looks like Clearlove has a very high evaluation of you, Unreal player!”
“We all know that before the match started, there were some… discussions online about your training state, saying your training match state wasn’t very good.” Yu Shuang blinked, “But today you used three different heroes in three games, all with very carry performances, especially Jayce in the first game—that angled acceleration gate was very memorable. How did you think of operating like that at the time?”
“Um… this is something I discovered in daily ranked; as long as Jayce tilts the acceleration field with his body, his cannon enters the acceleration field faster, overall time is shorter, so the skill hits the opponent faster and is harder to react to.”
“This can create surprise effects in lane… so I solo killed CoCo in the match with this trick.”
After he said this, the on-site audience couldn’t help but roast.
“Unreal, this handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of nonsense without a word of truth! I’ve never seen him pick Jayce in ranked.”
“Wait, maybe he practiced it before? Unreal’s ranked record before had a lot, just Malphite ratio a bit high…”
“Holy crap, maybe Malphite is Unreal’s ace, picks Malphite when forced with no retreat?”
“My god, terrifying to think about; this way, it really seems possible.”
“But I think that Jayce solo kill move was cool; didn’t expect Jayce to have such operation, thought it was just forms, turns out acceleration field release also has tricks.”
Yu Shuang followed up: “That operation was indeed amazing; Unreal player must have studied hero skills a lot in daily practice.”
After Yu Shuang said this, the site burst into laughter again.
“Then second question, in game two you picked a team-oriented hero like Galio and played perfect rhythm. Was this a temporary team tactic adjustment, or are you personally very good at this type of hero?”
“Both.” Li Fan answered, “Hero selection needs to adjust based on team lineup, and this patch Galio has very high priority, must-pick if not banned; if it’s free, we definitely take it.”
“And you know a bit about Galio, right?” Yu Shuang was already quick to interject, unlike before just repeating.
“Yes! Not just Galio, Azir, Vladimir these I also know… assassin heroes, support heroes, farming heroes, as mid laner definitely need to master them well.”
But the live stream room audience was half-believing about Azir, but hearing Vladimir, they felt Li Fan was throwing smoke grenade to deceive RNG.
Because Vladimir this hero has low priority this patch, not strong, no need to practice specially.
In this case, the ones good at Vladimir are only Xiao Hu and Xi Ye.
But mostly won’t be picked.
【I get it, Sand City’s emperor is also Azir!】
【Right, how is this not good at Azir? He plays it really well!】
Yu Shuang nodded and threw the topic back to Clearlove: “Clearlove, your next opponent is Group A’s first place RNG; they showed very hot state in regular season. Facing them, what preparations do you have?”
Clearlove smiled and answered: “To beat RNG, no need for preparation; level 2 gank bottom and done.”
As soon as Clearlove said “level 2 gank bottom and done,” the entire interview area went quiet first, then erupted in deafening laughter and applause!
【Hahaha, here it comes, the ancestral RNG formula!】
【Ming Kai: Beat RNG? Simple, open my tactical board, just four big words: level 2 gank bottom!】
【Uzi: You okay? You okay? You okay?】
【Clearlove directly showed his cards! Open scheme!】
【RNG: Received, starting to study level 1 wards.】
The bullet comments in the live stream room exploded instantly, full screen of “7777777” and “level 2 gank bottom” scrolling by, show effect maxed out.
Yu Shuang barely held back her laugh and said: “Clearlove… you… directly announced the tactic? So real?”
Clearlove waved his hand, in his unique accent: “No no, just a joke, to lighten the atmosphere; RNG is a very strong opponent, we’ll definitely prepare seriously and study new tactics.”
Though he said that, everyone took it as “no silver here 300 taels,” and the laughter got even louder.
At the same time, in RNG base training room.
Uzi, watching the interview, slapped the table: “Damn! Ming Kai what do you mean? Iron crushes on me? It’s been so long still level 2 gank bottom! Can’t you have some originality?”
After saying this, Uzi couldn’t help but laugh too, because Clearlove saying level 2 gank bottom wasn’t highlighting his own status?
He still quite likes hearing experts praise him.
Nearby Xiao Hu wanted to laugh hearing Clearlove, but quickly glanced at Uzi; after all, this was teasing Uzi… if he laughed but Uzi got mad, wouldn’t that be trouble?
Better observe; found Uzi didn’t take it to heart and was still laughing.
Xiao Hu relaxed and laughed along, adding: “Proud of it, means your deterrence is strong; see, Clearlove doesn’t say level 2 gank mid or top against other teams? Too strong naturally needs to restrict your development.”
Letme also joined in: “Exactly, Dog Lord prestige! Directly written into EDG’s fixed tactics manual, and will become other teams’ tactics manual too…”
After Clearlove finished, Yu Shuang handed the mic to Li Fan: “So Unreal player, any ideas?”
Li Fan glanced at Clearlove: “Actually quite a few ideas, just afraid you can’t broadcast them.”
As soon as Li Fan said “just afraid you can’t broadcast,” Yu Shuang’s eyes lit up instantly, her smile even brighter.
She likes this kind of player who can catch jokes and make show effect; interviewing is effortless and max effect.
She immediately smiled and followed up, with a playful tone: “Oh? Can’t broadcast? Then… Unreal player, can you say some that can be broadcast, share your thoughts.”
Li Fan picked up the mic, in his still flat but now murderous tone to everyone: “Thoughts? My thought is… they just need to participate.”
If Clearlove’s “level 2 gank bottom” lit the fuse, Li Fan’s “just need to participate” was like dropping a heavy bomb in the venue, instantly stunning everyone!
Followed by crazy laughter and screams almost breaking the venue roof!
“Aaaah—!”
“Holy crap! Savage!”
“Awesome!! Fan Ge!!!”
“EDG mid-jungle duo is really cheeky, no wonder they won streak; they really have stuff, words one saucier than the other.”
“Fun, now it’s really fun; want to see how RNG counters this.”
“Over, seems a bit disadvantaged… RNG is Group A first, semifinals directly vs EDG, no interview segment, can’t counter.”
And Clearlove standing beside, his expression now dumbfounded; he knew Li Fan had lots of cheeky talk, but never expected this wave to have such attack power.
Normally he just does absurd stuff, today how did he go saucy.
Clearlove slightly open-mouthed, looking at this teammate who doesn’t shock won’t stop, eyes full of “you really dare say it kid.”
【Clearlove: Bad, team got an even saucier one!】
【Ming Kai: Turns out I’m the conservative one】
【Clearlove: Saucy talk king position yours from now on!】
【Actually check past interviews, Unreal was very humble; this situation mainly chemical reaction with Clearlove, EDG mid-jungle duo has bond, together saucy talk ability doubles!】
On stage, Yu Shuang finally calmed her emotions, looking at Li Fan’s “just telling truth” face, holding back laugh: “Okay… very… thank Unreal player and Clearlove player for this interview; hope you keep it up in next matches and achieve goal.”
Li Fan and Clearlove waved to fans below, left the stage amid fans’ cheers screams.
At the same time, Weibo hot search had many new entries.
