Chapter 686: It's all show, it never stops

"Director Mai is so arrogant?"

"This is no longer just a taunt. We must deliver a powerful blow."

"Edgar is not a good guy either. He always uses the same old tricks in BP. I have never seen him innovate."

"Two bastards are scolding each other."

"??? Not really. With these two, the other coaches are nothing."

"Kou Ma's expression is so funny."

"Kouma: I've been coerced!"

"What's the point of scolding? Cvmax has developed Penicillin's dominance. Just based on this wave of operations, people next door call him the Saint of Mac. On the other hand, we only judge by seniority and squeeze out excellent talents."

"What about this area?"

As the most intense point of the conflict, Korean netizens had a heated discussion in response to the video. The highlight of the discussion was this sentence: Anyone who uses a Samsung power bank knows it.

As for deliberately including the GEN building in the shot, it actually did not attract much attention. After all, Director Mai gave them the impression that he had a rather bad temper and was a typical playboy.

in addition…

Since the director of the video first mocked the NBA, it was not surprising, but it was the first time in the e-sports circle. Therefore, due to the lack of work during the off-season, the circle rushed to join in the fun.

The video was sent out 2 hours later.

As soon as it trended on Twitter, TSM’s official account retweeted the video with the caption: A rare and wonderful memory is meeting Samsung.

Below the text, there is a screenshot, which shows the sentence in which the English commentator Kobe exclaimed with his head in his hands: OMG, with an economic gap of 16,000, we slaughtered Samsung!
"(Smiley face)(Smiley face)(Smiley face)."

"We in LOL also have our own power bank."

“When I see this team logo, I won’t be afraid.”

"It really is."

TSM did not make it to the World Championship this year and was in a slump, but with the popularity, it brought back memories of many fans and regained some goodwill.

The manager was also very knowledgeable. Seeing that this tactic was effective, he decisively made a promise on social media, saying that he would invest heavily in strengthening the team during the transfer period and that the team would never be in trouble!
When this action spread to China, RNG joined in the fun.

As the one who defeated Samsung twice and almost suffocated Samsung in the group stage, the official account chose to post a screenshot of Uzi's MVP and wrote:

"After beating Samsung, morale was boosted... but it was a pity that we fell short in the semifinals..."

This sentence just echoes the point of the video, and in between the pretense, it also hints at the regret that they failed to meet at the Bird's Nest, a goal that is now the most popular slogan among domestic audiences...

The slime is excited!
Thinking of the beauty of the double victory over Samsung and seeing the club's hard work and improvement, I immediately liked, forwarded and commented.

you think.

This is a pity. This year is the Incheon Civil War. Being crowned king, even if not crowned, is quite taboo.

Therefore, before the teams were even regrouped, RNG immediately spent money to buy trending searches, continuing to upgrade the background of All-China Glory.

After all...RNG has repeatedly emphasized since 17 that all Chinese players are the coolest, but they dare not openly reject LGD's second championship, so they can only secretly say that others are slutty bitches and they themselves are pure.

#RNG also drew Samsung's gyro#
#Ruler: Tears in tribute to myself in S7#
#I just love this mouthful of Huazi, and I don’t want to cough at other times#
#Uzi is so awesome that even celebrities are shocked#
#RNG got the civil war script#
A barrage of press releases came in, and hired internet trolls helped to increase the popularity and attract the attention of fans.

Passersby are confused and wonder why there are so many articles praising RNG.

The slime monster was so excited that he shed tears, thinking that he was very popular among Chinese people. He didn't suspect that the club had bought trending searches at all.

“Milk Tea Week: Chinese people support the Chinese team!”

“No!”

"The only thing LPL needs is all Chinese players, no other proof is needed."

"Who in the family understands? He knows how upset we are!"

"I really cried. Uzi was hanging up and drawing Chidi, and Chidi was so bad that he exploded in the laning phase. Who else could do this except Uzi? IMP? IMP could beat Chidi to the point where he bought cloth shoes? Bang? A colored pen that was hung up and drawn by Chidi?"

"Chen Chichi praised Uzi, but you are the only ones who are criticizing him. Really, the haters only know how to be jealous and envious. Anyone with a brain would not criticize Uzi. He is the pride of Chinese people."

"It will definitely be a big event if RNG wins the championship. It's not something LGD can compare to."

"That's it."

on Weibo.

Originally, Samsung power bank was the most searched term, followed by "the head coach is still warming up", and then GEN fans rented four trucks to blast GEN and demand the incompetent head coach be fired.

It didn't take long.

Except for the power bank entry that topped the list, the remaining two were squeezed out by RNG.

The Weibo girls keenly sensed that something was wrong, but felt that they were overthinking it until the argument that only Chinese players can represent LPL emerged, subtly trying to deprive the championship, and the girls quickly returned to their posts.

past 2 years.

They often encounter extreme GSL and are too familiar with this opening move.

"Awesome, he doesn't even acknowledge his first title."

"In terms of the ability to open one's eyes and be blind, GSL is still better."

"When they double-killed Samsung, Xiaohu also won an MVP. Why did RNG only show Uzi's MVP and not Xiaohu's?"

"You have to give way to the prince, understand."

"Tsk tsk, some time ago someone spread a rumor that Xiaohu had zero MVPs, and RNG has never posted an MVP."

"Every year, Champagne, every year, I rely on Qingshen to save me. Without Qingshen's support, there would be hundreds of thousands more comments last year (referring to the release of Galio in 5)."

"They say time can heal wounds, but this is too fast. The fifth one died suddenly and became red-hot last year, and it's mature again in less than 10 months?"

"Well, I have an idea. Let White Star buy out LGD's league division. That way, they can inherit the championship, so they don't have to drink champagne and get slapped in the face every year."

"..."

Guo Hao was accompanying his teammates in Samcheong-dong for shopping at the moment. He would check Weibo when he had nothing to do and witnessed the whole process of all the cheers from all over China. He was thinking at the time: You are too good at manipulation. You are clearly trying to take advantage of the popularity and you still have the nerve to make a fuss about it?

"Brother Hao, take a picture for me!"

"coming!"

Putting the phone back into his trouser pocket, Guo Hao took the camera skillfully.

After visiting several luxury stores, the morale of the whole team was greatly boosted. Although as professional players, everyone present has enough money to buy brand-name products, the problem is that this is a gift from the coach!

After playing professionally for so many years, who in the circle has had their shopping cart cleared out by a coach?
When I bought it, Lao Zei was still talking about how OMG often treated the coaching staff to meals, but he never saw the coach treat him, which made him feel very disappointed later...

Mark was the only one who was not deeply touched by these words.

If he stays there for a long time, he will know that it is really difficult to convince players with most coaches. Firstly, they don’t understand the game well enough and their words sound like real money. Secondly, they are just flattering and have no authority. They even take advantage of players’ food for free. How can players be convinced by this?
Even when you were a student, if there was someone like this who ate and drank for free and criticized you for no reason, you would find it difficult to obey him.

Brother Mai didn't care about this little bit of spending. He just wanted to use the card since they gave it to him. But Guo Hao knew that he also had a share and still waved his hand to grab it.

"I said we'd win all the way, I'll lead you to corruption!"

"I…"

"Are you part of the team?" Brother Mai continued to ask and insisted on paying the bill. It wasn't that he was sick, but it was just a different way of expressing gratitude.

In Brother Mai's eyes, Guo Hao, as a manager, gives him face, and that's enough.

To put it harshly.

If the manager is unwilling to be lonely, the coaching staff will have a headache, but being unwilling to be lonely is a common phenomenon in the circle.

“…Forget it, I can’t beat you.”

to the end.

Guo Hao was still suppressed by Brother Mai's words.

On the way back, Qin Hao whispered to his teammates, suggesting that they go back to China to take the coach out to play and prepare a gift for the coaching staff.

smlz: “You know!”

Qin Hao: “Haha.”

Qin Hao took note of it solemnly.

Given Mai Ge's personality, he would feel uncomfortable if his kindness was rejected, but... even if he emphasized that the card was given by his family and there was no need to save money for him, Qin Hao still couldn't remain calm.

Weaving a surprise.

Guo Hao selected a few photos and asked the media department to release them, determined to grab the topic back. At 12 o'clock the next day, while people had some spare time to browse online information, Topsports quickly took action.

First, the official Weibo account came out and posted photos of the shopping trip in Samcheong-dong. Then fans "accidentally" discovered that the Topsports members in the photos were wearing the same brand-name bracelet. After a "closer look", it turned out to be a bracelet that symbolizes good luck.

So, looking at the sentence in the post by Topsports: "Survived Samsung and started shipping", we can understand the meaning of the wording of this Weibo post. "Haha, I'm still charging the treasure."

"Get career luck."

"Guo Hao is a bit superstitious."

In the joke, a fan expressed envy and pointed out how much the bracelet and the brand-name bag were worth. The official account of Topsports responded: It was not reimbursed by the club, it was a gift from the coach.

I blanch.

The fans were stunned.

I've seen clubs spend money, I've seen players spend money, this is the first time I've seen a coach spend money. Most importantly, the comments section has already calculated that the cost of this trip is about 3 million won, and you told me that the coach used a credit card...

No.

Will I ever meet such an innocent person? I also want my shopping cart to be emptied, even if it’s just a Taobao shopping cart!

"McSaint!"

"What? You're so greedy for work?"

"The bracelet alone costs over 5, don't love it too much, Mai!"

"The Korean netizens are still laughing at Mai Ge's useless account. Damn, this useless account is living a very cool life."

"I didn't understand what sect background was when the novel was written before, but now I see that the red-haired monster knows a lot about it."

"Give me this money, I can buy a house."

"Don't say bad words."

When the wind direction changed, Bai Xing was still leisurely crossing his legs and sipping tea. Although the clothing factory asked for payment some time ago, fans would not look down on RNG because of this. They all felt that RNG was a big company and did not make such a fuss as the clothing factory said.

Sipping it.

The navy reported the matter to higher authorities and the call was made to Bai Xing.

"What! The hot searches I bought were cancelled?!" He bought them for three days, and just before the groups came out, it happened to be connected to the group list and continued to dominate the audience's attention.

When he got the attention, he was quite proud of himself and used the Samsung power bank joke to build up a reputation for himself. Little did he know that Top Esports would become a hot topic.

Bush…

For a moment, Bai Xing gritted his teeth in jealousy and resentment. He only had a few cards he could play, but as for Topsports, he had the Weibo king Penicillin and the temperamental man Cv Mai. When they played cards together, the big and small jokers were on the opposite sides, and the show never stopped.

~~~
Topsports’ Weibo account has only 400 million followers.

When Qin Hao and others forwarded the post about the collection of goods, the related topic immediately rushed into the top three, with an amazing momentum. In other words, killing Samsung and collecting goods for bracelets meets the needs of fans. After all, the power bank has passed, so the career luck should not be bad.

and so…

As the topic spread further, passers-by were shocked by the fact that they were paid to go to work, and they couldn't help asking: Who is Mai Sheng?

After going through the familiar popular science process, some passers-by also had an impression that there was a silly rich second-generation who gave popcorn to his teammates. This was simply... so envious!
"Brothers, it's urgent. How can I let my boss see this Weibo post inadvertently?"

“@xx, I’m a college student and I want to try your products.”

"Pharmacy Bilian, you describe prostitution as so refreshing and refined."

"If there is a white, rich and beautiful woman willing to support me, I would be willing to live in a luxury house and drive a luxury car."

"Is there any big boss passing by who sees through my disguise and is willing to hire me? I am really a fresh graduate, my requirements are not high, a monthly salary of about 7K, and I accept a -to- job."

"I've been working at home for half a year. My requirements are lower. I want 6K and I accept overtime, but I want overtime pay."

"Go away, scab."

"… I don't have a mine at home, and it's not pleasant to rely on my parents. I don't want to be a loser."

There are basically no filters on the comments left by passers-by regarding the hot searches, from this we can see that Brother Mai's operation of emptying the shopping cart can win people's hearts.

Don't even mention the envy of ordinary passers-by.

Even people in the circle are gritting their teeth.

In an apartment in Seoul, Edgar saw Korean netizens change their words and say that Mai Chu was generous. His whole face turned pale and blue, and even his eyeballs were sparking.

Because he refused to take the blame, GEN reduced his bonus. The financial loss is fine, but now he is disgraced and his reputation has been ruined. How can this beast Cvmax still be able to wash himself clean?

boom!
He hammered the wall, his fists shaking like he had Parkinson's disease. His entire image could be described in four words - furious and frustrated.

Edgar was really mad.

I have never been insulted like this in all my time working here. The short video he shot was just like pointing at his nose and asking him how it felt to be wanted by a truck.

Then look at the messages online.

The more I watch, the more I feel that netizens are making fun of me.

"Hey…"

Edgar called the relevant leader of the association to inquire about the lottery ball.

"Why care about this?"

"The neighbors are so arrogant... why don't you do something?" Edgar said angrily, "We can't just let the Incheon civil war happen."

The person on the other end of the phone sighed, "What can I do if I don't strive for excellence? I also want to ensure that KT enters the finals, but the problem is that I will encounter tough competition - if not in the quarterfinals, I will face LPL in the semifinals."

"Save it first!"

Edgar suggested: "Isn't Top Esports crazy? Give FNC to them and put IG in the same half of the zone, killing two championship contenders in advance..."

In Edgar's opinion.

Among the teams going out next door, only RNG poses the least threat. Apart from its strong sense of team battles, it has no other advantages.

Once this kind of team loses its mentality, its state will fluctuate greatly. So as long as they target IG and Topsports in the schedule, it will be fine if they let RNG into the semi-finals. At most, they can just repeat the script of S3 and S4 and continue to be carefree. Why should they belittle the Royal Family?

It’s amazing to see that Uzi is still very anxious after all these years. He doesn’t worry about RNG at all, even though RNG is killing it in the group stage and seems to be very competitive, and even has a back-and-forth with IG in the league... Those who understand will understand Royal Club’s mentality in major competitions.

There was silence for a moment, and then someone suddenly said, "Before you called, we had a similar discussion, but do you know why I said you were not up to the task?"

The other side was talking to itself, "This matter has been intervened by Fist. Everyone except us wants to watch the show, so naturally we have to present the most exciting show to the global audience."

"Don't feel humiliated. The region has become what it is now. How can we rebuild it if we don't break it? I hope the teams next door will do well and not be stopped by the European teams. This will stimulate things and things will only get better next year..."

Edgar didn't want to hear any lectures.

He knew that if Europe made it to the finals, it wouldn't be LCK that would be cheap, but the thought of Director Mai's face with sunglasses and his left hand raised made him feel sick to his stomach.

"Don't you want to control it?"

There was a beep and the call was hung up.

……

The night before the group.

Snapped!
Jin Gong pressed the keyboard, locked the health to the limit and made a counterattack.

"call…"

GimGoon let out a long sigh and said with a little excitement: "Captain, you didn't let me win, did you?" After filming the promotional video for the quarterfinals, GimGoon still pestered Qin Hao for solo, just to improve his laning feel.

"without…"

On the screen, Qin Hao's Gnar was killed in front of the tower by GimGoon and Viktor. Although Viktor was getting more and more comfortable in this matchup, Qin Hao still felt gratified by the intensity of GimGoon's training and the speed of his improvement.

He affirmed: "With your proficiency, you can kill TheShy."

"real or fake."

Jin Gong touched his neck and laughed.

"Why did you lie to me?"

Qin Hao has penicillin to measure proficiency and knows that TheShy's Gnar is not better than his.

"Alas, the draw will be held tomorrow."

"Who do you want to draw?"

"It doesn't matter. FNC may be a little stronger, C9 may be a little weaker, but it doesn't matter."

"Good! Very energetic!"

Brother Mai suddenly interrupted and said, "On the road to winning the championship, all the shortlisted teams are our imaginary enemies!"
