Chapter 57: Ranked Stats Are The Most Useless
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Li Fan felt that Yu Shuang auntie puffed out her chest again… Picking up the microphone in her hand, she said with a smile on her face: “Welcome everyone to the post-match interview session. I’m host Yu Shuang. First, we congratulate EDG for winning this match. Now we invite EDG’s mid laner Unreal to say hello to everyone.”
“Hello everyone, I’m EDG’s mid laner Unreal. I’m very happy to do this interview.” Li Fan said this while waving to the audience.
The scene appropriately erupted in screams and cheers again, with even a small group of people shouting Unreal.
The director hurriedly scanned the audience, wanting to see if anyone was holding Li Fan’s support photos or support signs.
But unfortunately, after scanning around, it wasn’t that there were none, just that they were a bit inappropriate.
Damn, QQ Speed’s support signs, Crossfire…
If he dared to let these fans appear on camera, he wouldn’t have to wait until tomorrow—he’d be fired tonight.
After all, competition among Tencent’s various game departments is actually very fierce.
Especially on the League of Legends events operations side, the leaders think their game has the highest popularity and the most viewers.
Naturally, this led to many extra ideas, wanting to set up a company for operating Tencent events.
But right now, it’s still in the pulling stage…
In this situation, these workers definitely wouldn’t dare to casually promote other games.
Even if he knew these support signs appearing on the big screen would generate very high popularity.
The director couldn’t help but sigh… Does Unreal really have no League fans at all?
“We all know that EDG’s recent record hasn’t been very good, having gone through four consecutive losses. Under this pressure, you took over from Scout to play this key match. What was your mood like at the time?”
Li Fan took the microphone and thought seriously for a moment.
“Actually, I wasn’t as nervous as I imagined.”
“Oh?”
“You know, I’m not afraid of external pressure. Even if we lose the match, I have strong mental resilience, so I can perform better on the arena. Maybe it’s because of this relaxed mentality that I played like this.”
【 Laughing to death, Unreal is basically saying he has a lot of haters, so even if people curse him after losses, it doesn’t matter.】
【 Indeed, thinking from this angle makes sense. Anyway, there are so many haters in the live stream room; a bit more is just a little hardship.】
【 Maybe it’s really because of this—Unreal has no pressure on the arena, so he played so well.】
【 Looking at it this way, Unreal is quite humorous.】
【 Nonsense, if he weren’t humorous, how could he become Huya’s League of Legends section’s number one streamer in such a short time… Wait, is this guy even a League of Legends streamer?】
“So today was your first appearance in the LPL professional league. How did it feel?”
“No particular feeling.”
“Hm?” Yu Shuang really didn’t expect Li Fan’s answer to be so unexpected and brief.
With an answer like that, I don’t even know how to help you smooth it over.
“Can’t say I had zero feeling.”
“Then what feeling?”
“Felt a bit hungry. Wanna come eat hot pot later?”
Hearing this, Yu Shuang’s mouth twitched. Saying this is worse than sticking with the previous answer. Should’ve known not to follow up.
Unreal this guy is indeed quite handsome, but to be fair, he is absurd.
If you swapped in any other professional player, would they stream uninstalling League of Legends because they wanted to play other games?
Definitely not—only Unreal did it, and everyone thought it was totally normal.
“Unreal is very humorous.” Yu Shuang held back her internal injuries and continued with the microphone: “Zitai once said in an interview that he learned LeBlanc from you in ranked matches. We noticed that in the third match, GT left LeBlanc open, so why did you choose Lulu?”
“Well, actually I’m not that good with LeBlanc. Hero selection was discussed together in BP. Since Clearlove took Olaf, mid lane Lulu would make him more comfortable. LeBlanc would make mid-jungle cooperation not as good, mainly because Lee Sin was taken first by GT. Mid-jungle combos still depend on the lineup.”
“Being modest, being modest. Your performance today was very perfect. I believe you’re also very strong with LeBlanc.”
“No, I’m really not good with LeBlanc. What if everyone says I’m good with her and they don’t ban it, then I can’t pick it?”
In the backstage, Scout watching the interview session heard his teammates’ laughter, and his whole face darkened.
He silently clenched his fist…
If they hadn’t subbed him out, he could have won the match with a perfect performance too.
The opponent’s mid laner had no strength at all. Not playing well was mainly because of the wrong hero pick.
If Li Fan had picked Card every time, his performance absolutely wouldn’t have been as good as mine. It’s all the coach’s fault.
Thinking of this, Scout glared sinisterly at Kuaisu Xing.
If he let me pick LeBlanc or Syndra, the opponent’s mid laner would be a clown!
Kuaisu Xing’s mood wasn’t great right now either, but he noticed Scout daring to look at him with such eyes.
“Damn it!”
Scout hurriedly lowered his head…
The interview continued, and Yu Shuang picked up the interview card and asked the last question everyone was most curious about.
“Unreal, we all know your Korean Server account has only played one ranked match in the past three months, using LeBlanc. But in the second match, you directly picked Lucian right away, and Lucian mid laner at that. Can you tell everyone the reason?”
Hearing this question, the audience listening to the interview all perked up their ears, wanting to know how Li Fan would answer.
As for the live stream room, quite a few people were spamming bullet comments with replies first.
【 Isn’t it simple? Lucian uses a gun, and Unreal usually plays PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Crossfire—this is also shooting guns, right? Since it’s all guns, he naturally learned it.】
【 Makes sense! Really makes sense!】
“Well… Mid Lucian was mainly because the lineup fit perfectly, needing mid lane to handle early breakthroughs, and Lucian fits that attribute very well.”
“As for only playing one ranked in three months, it’s mainly because I feel ranked’s trash data affects my judgment. That’s also why my state is so good on the arena.”
“Of course, this method might not suit others. Other players might not be suited to it, so absolutely don’t copy me.” Li Fan answered with a smile.
Instantly, bullet comments started scrolling wildly.
【 Huh? This is the reason for not playing ranked?】
【 Ranked’s trash data affects judgment?】
【 No way, does anyone really believe this?】
And in the backstage, Clearlove listened to this answer and fell into thought.
