Chapter 682 Bickering
Main stage.

Qin Hao bowed and left towards the second floor. The atmosphere at the scene was still depressing.

Since the live broadcast source was not cut off immediately, the contestants, staff and the investigation team in the background all heard these "complaining" words.

What is easy to be misunderstood?

Who misunderstood?
“…Who instructed him to say this?”

The Korean leader looked unhappy.

A popular top-tier mid laner who is recognized by summoners around the world and has won two consecutive FMVPs openly questioned the organizer in front of online viewers.

The subsequent public opinion alone was enough to make the South Korean leaders vomit blood.

In anger.

The leader heard a choking sound, turned around and saw the host crying after leaving the stage, so he became even more embarrassed and angry. He frowned and waved at the staff, pointing at the female host.

The staff understood and helped the female host back to the dressing room to avoid embarrassing herself here.

At this time, someone took the initiative to say, "It must be their manager's idea. I'll go find him!" Just as the staff member was about to turn around, the leader stopped him with his hand, "Why are you looking for him?"

The live broadcast accident has spread all over the world along the live broadcast signal.

Even though everyone wanted to point fingers at Guo Hao and hold him accountable, reason told everyone that if this matter really got out of hand, who knows who the netizens would side with.

"How about an apology?"

Some people's knees weakened and they said, "After all, there is no evidence..." If there was evidence, they should discuss how to put pressure on Fujii.

"Apologize, who should apologize? The e-sports association? Will those guys be willing to do so?" My colleague threw out a bunch of questions, each of which was difficult to answer.

"Which idiot spread the on-site photos? Otherwise it wouldn't be so popular." The self-media made up the story with details and coupled with the photo of Guo Hao following behind the investigation team, it gave Korean netizens endless imagination.

Think differently.

It is normal for people to feel angry.

It would be fine if they simply cooperated with the investigation, but how could the investigation process be secretly filmed and leaked, causing a frenzy on the Korean Internet...

Of course, understanding is one thing, but the act of firing without warning still annoyed the Korean personnel present.

"Why should I apologize?"

Another voice said: "The investigation process is legal and compliant. If they are dissatisfied, that is their business."

"Everyone, is this the time to discuss this? How can we reduce the impact and preserve our reputation?"

Someone hesitated and said, "How about... asking Penicillin to apologize? Such emotional remarks obviously hurt our national feelings."

"Correct!"

"Correct, reasonable..."

"As long as the two-time champion apologizes and we act a little more generous, this matter will soon be over. To put it bluntly, there is no point in arguing about it, so how can netizens watch?"

After discussing the direction, the leader straightened his suit and strode towards the rest area backstage.

at the same time.

The GEN people came out of the room and watched.

Seeing Qin Hao coming back, Lianzi was the first to exclaim: "How dare he!" Huang Guan had a blank expression on his face, and An Bixin, Chi Di and other War Wolfs were not in a good mood either.

how to say.

2 points of admiration, 5 points of shame and annoyance, and 3 points of dissatisfaction.

From the perspective of the players, it is really exciting to see Qin Hao, a peer of the same age, openly nodding his fist. But from the perspective of national sentiment, no matter how rough the e-sports association is or how smart the Korean Internet is, I am the one who is criticizing, and you, an outsider, should not criticize me.

As the saying goes, killing is not the right path.

You have already won, and you have not suffered any loss, but you still want to make such a big scene, isn't this bullying? You have not lost, and you have not been convicted, so why repay evil with evil?
You are the two-time champion...you have reached the pinnacle of the competition, can't you be more generous?
"Look, that's Director Park, right? I've seen him on TV." E-sports (games) is regarded as a pillar industry in South Korea. In order to appear close to the people, many politicians will use supporting e-sports as one of their publicity methods.

Those who often follow Korean media should know this clearly.

During the promotional period, some legislators will consider visiting SKT as an important itinerary to prove that they share the same beliefs as the young people.

and so…

Seeing several leaders rushing into the Topsports lounge, the backstage staff were talking about it.

"You can pretend to be a two-time champion? What a joke!"

"It's just an investigation. I don't know who you're blaming."

"No need to look at it, it's probably just a show of submission and apology."

"Maybe he's just relying on his youth to act recklessly, knowing there will be no punishment."

"What else can we do? If we say something wrong, the most we can get is a fine. For a person like Penicillin, a fine of tens of thousands is considered money?"

“…This is a huge loss.”

Several staff members had smiles on their faces, enjoying the fun. Although there was a live broadcast accident which had a bad impact and the outside world was all laughing at the fist and hating South Korea, at least they could watch the joke of the two-time champion and feel gloating.

After all, the audience scolding the e-sports association and Riot Korea has nothing to do with him, a social animal. Those criticisms are not directed at him.

~~~
Weibo.

Qing fans are already arguing their case.

"I am getting more and more confused about this world. Why are there still people vying to be dogs for others?"

"You just want to expose it so easily, do you think I, Qing Shen, have no temper?"

“The organizers are really rubbish.”

"I want to see how the fist protects me."

"I'll give you a number, unity!"

Of course, there is more than one voice on the Internet. Some people feel satisfied watching the two-time champion win, while some are afraid of angering the Korean side and affecting their image in the eyes of Oppa.

"Who is this? Looking for trouble?"

"Just an ordinary guy. He seems to be a stinky gamer."

"Letting such a person go to Korea to embarrass himself, and no one cares?"

"Can you ask him to apologize? It would be best if it's more profound."

"Fuck, my idol's favorite e-sports player is Faker, and I just found out that this guy insulted Faker so much that he banged his head against the wall."

"Can you please just die? We have finally improved our international image, but now this idiot has appeared again."

Some Koreans echoed these remarks.

"Talent but no morals."

"Why, two crowns is so great, two crowns can't be checked?"

"Hehe, you are stupid, even your own people don't support you."

How could Qing fans stand this and immediately went up to start cursing.

For a while, there was a strange spectacle of e-sports girls fighting against Korean-loving girls on Weibo, which shocked everyone. Why? Because among the top ten posts on Weibo, there were four tags related to the tacit understanding gate, and under each tag, there were figures of e-sports girls besieging.

This is also normal.

After all, the e-sports girls are united in their hatred of the enemy and are very emotional, while those Korean-loving people who accidentally got involved simply felt that the "negative" incident affected their star-chasing and hated Qin Hao for not respecting Korea.

to be honest.

These external voices have no power to begin with. Most people, no matter how much they like their idols, will not indiscriminately blame others.

Furthermore.

Through the popularization of science by Qing fans, many netizens found that Qin Hao gave face to the organizer. He was very polite even when he was treated differently.

If you have poor quality, you can just replace the electric baton with the one you like and start refining the elixir directly...

After all, from the perspective of LPL, the whole incident was an administrative pressure from the Korean network in order to maintain the hope of promotion. As a result, during the pressure process, the Korean network helped to spread rumors and throw dirty water. After the incident, they retrieved the chat records and found no evidence, so they wanted to keep the matter quiet and cover up the investigation...

"Justice will prevail!"

"It's clear that what Qin Hao said was just out of grievance."

"I've been wronged, and asking for an apology is wrong?"

"The bully is obviously the investigation team."

"Some people don't speak up for their own people, but instead think the organizers are innocent? I don't understand. I can only wish these people to be falsely accused of taking secret photos and stay in the detention center for the rest of their lives."

The situation that South Korea least wanted to see happened.

The two-time champion's few complaints were so destructive that the investigation team was originally planning to disband, but because of a few words, they were at the center of the storm.

Again.

The E-sports Association sincerely thought that applying some pressure would only be a minor problem. In the past, when dealing with the Chinese side, let alone treating them differently, they were openly disgusted, and the Chinese side would make a big deal out of a small matter and not want to argue. If they had known that Qin Hao had such a strong personality, they would not have invited Qin Hao to the main stage.

can only say…

Empiricism kills.

At such a traffic node, because of such aftertaste, the popularity directly exceeded the event itself.

According to the data from Twitter, when TES beat 100T, the topic only had a rate of about 1.5, failing to form a hot trend. However, the discussion surrounding the tacit understanding issue and dissatisfaction with favoritism reached around 4, successfully breaking the circle and spreading.

This time.

Riot headquarters is in a bit of a pickle.

During the investigation, someone must have been behind the early conviction of Topsports, otherwise the rumor wouldn’t have spread so widely. While paying attention to the development of the incident, Nicolo felt that GEN had gone too far.

He guessed that GEN just wanted to reduce the shame of being in the round of 16, and use this "misunderstanding" to make the audience think that it was not GEN that was too bad, but that Top Esports deliberately targeted them and that there was something wrong with the coaching staff, so as to protect their reputation and the value of their players.

and so…

Who leaked that photo? Without that photo, the investigation would only be limited to the backstage and the club, but with the photo as evidence, the entire network knew that Topsports was involved in a match-fixing investigation...

Nicolo waits for communication.

Qin Hao is completely invulnerable to water and fire, and is tougher than Guo Hao.

“…You guys picked the issue first, and if you want to apologize, it should be the investigation team that issues a statement and publicly apologizes.”

The Korean side complained first: "We received a complaint and then investigated according to the competition regulations. The whole process was legal and compliant!"

"I didn't say it was illegal. The question is who set the pace? Me?"

"It's not who you are."

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to discuss. Let the netizens judge for themselves." Mark looked at Qin Hao with starry eyes and retorted: "I have a clear conscience anyway."

the whole room.

Five people from the Korean side came and blocked the door and stood against the wall. On the Topsports side, Kouma wanted to be a peacemaker, but the team members stood near Qin Hao to show their support.

Qin Hao was very tough. He was a bit of an angry young man. No matter he was deceived by the Queen Mother or sued by Hu Ya, his knees never weakened.

After all, he has already saved more money than his peers can save in their entire lives. The worst that can happen is that he will quit the online competition and only be active on the court from now on. Why would he care about the loss of his interests?

At the beginning.

Hanfu's tone was very good, advising him not to hurt Korean fans, but Qin Hao said that those who are rational will always get out of the whirlpool of emotions, and it was obvious that he didn't buy it.

He is a man who respects his fans.

But it does not mean unconditional flattery. A healthy fan relationship is based on appreciation, not love to the point of inferiority.

"…I don't understand. It could have ended very simply, but you insisted on making a scene. What good will it do you if it gets out of hand? People will only think you're aggressive and it will affect your image!"

The Han Fang changed his tactics and began to speak from Qin Hao's perspective.

"Think about Faker. You guys have so much attention, you should show your best side to your fans... Maybe others think he's pretentious, he likes to bring a few books when he appears on camera, and there's nothing wrong with encouraging people to learn, right? But what about you..."

Just as Han Fang was about to teach him a lesson, Peanut suddenly interrupted and said, "Brother Hao is very good, just as good as Brother Xianghe." Peanut's heartfelt tone made Han Fang stuck.

after all…

Among everyone present, except Kouma, only Xiaohuasheng has been teammates with the two.

But in the eyes of Peanut.

Sang Hyuk is a little cold, a little selfish, and not that easy to deal with. Most of the time, they just maintain an ordinary relationship, being polite and respectful to each other, and unable to get into each other's hearts.

On the contrary, Qin Hao is very enthusiastic and good at creating an atmosphere. During the six months of playing with him, Xiaohuasheng fell in love with League of Legends again.

Let him choose.

Hao brother should not become Sang Hyuk.

Although both of them are excellent and have a positive professional attitude, when they think about Qin Hao refusing to get close to them, no longer making moves, and talking nonsense, will the team still be as lively as it is now? Impossible.

Faker is good, but it's too stressful to get along with him...

"you!"

Han Fang raised his voice, and Guo Hao rushed up from behind and stood in front of Qin Hao: "You asked for cooperation, did I say anything?

Also, after checking the chat records, I asked if there was no evidence and asked if they could issue a statement, and then they told me that it would not be made public.

I understand, after all, it's hard to say this out loud. If you say too much, the audience will think too much. I cooperated with the problem, but you didn't keep it a secret. Why should we apologize? What kind of logic is this?"

"It's not him who went on stage and made random remarks, so no one needs to apologize!"

The leader took two steps forward. Stimulated by this, Jin Gong and Lao Ma followed suit. Only Kou Ma hesitated for a moment and finally chose to follow.

The two sides were so close that Qin Hao could even see the leader's nose hair.

"Let's put it one thing at a time... The fact that we didn't keep it confidential is our fault, but the fact that you hurt the national sentiments must be singled out."

"…Where's the harm?"

At the door, Cvmax came back from an interview and just heard this. He stretched out his hand to push the security guard aside and squeezed in. He looked around and continued, "I'm also Korean, why don't I feel anything?"

puff!
Some people at the scene couldn't hold back.

After such a commotion, the leader's momentum was somewhat weakened: "Pay attention to the international impact!"

"This little thing has an impact. There are different penalties in the Olympics. Are you still afraid of this?" Cvmax sneered at this, thinking that these organizers are just afraid of bad influence and don't care about national feelings at all.

"you!"

"What do you mean by 'I'? Either you and the joint investigation team should apologize publicly, or don't apologize at all and stop acting like you are innocent."

"Also, we need to discuss BP, please get out!"

A group of people left in anger.

Only their own people were left in the lounge. Cvmax pulled Guo Hao and Kouma to the corridor and said to Kouma, "Which side are you standing on?"

"It shouldn't have turned out like this."

"You are asked to be a good person? Huh?"

In this state, Cvmax didn’t give face to anyone: “I understand why the team is keeping a distance from you, it’s because you are invisible.

Don't blame SKT fans for their harsh words. I just stood at the door and heard a few words. I wanted to scold you. They came to pick a fight, why didn't you step forward and let the team members take over? "

“Things have to be solved…”

"Solve it."

Cvmax cursed, and Guo Hao quickly pulled him back: "Forget it, don't let outsiders ruin the relationship."

The three of them returned to the lounge.

The sharp-eyed Lao Ma noticed that Kou Ma was not in good condition.

A few minutes later.

Qin Hao returns to the stage to face VIT.

Amid the barrage of comments, Cvmax chose a three-lane lineup in anger and gave up the front row.

"Tobo, come on!"

"No team is worthy of you playing! They don't deserve it!"

In the call.

Less than 3 minutes into the game, Qin Hao used Zoe to flash and grab the second kill in the bottom lane. Jin Gong squeezed near the ranged soldiers and took control of the top lane push.

6 minutes.

Xiaohuasheng continuously raided the wild area and made kills, bringing the total number of kills to 0:4.

finally…

VIT was hit by Linglong Tower... 26 kills were given in 25 minutes, an average of one kill per minute.

After the game, Jiizuke was interviewed. When asked about the qualifying situation, he was optimistic: "We didn't want to beat TES, we just wanted to beat GEN."

"What a joke! The second-stage GEN has revived."

A prophecy.

GEN did recover, but it was the opponent that recovered.

In the sixth game, Jiizuke took out Leblanc, but was restricted by Crown Grasshopper. It was thought that VIT's mid and jungle were in the best condition, but no one expected that in such a battle, VIT's top laner stood out...

"Hahaha!"

In the 34th minute, VIT conservatively gathered together and successfully lost their front teeth, taking away the main crystal in one wave. Brother Mai stood under the LCD screen and laughed loudly...
