Chapter 750 Matt Shy
"Green, green, green, green!"

"Handsome, Nico, handsome."

"No wonder he's called Lai Wanxiang, he's got a knack for feeding the audience shit."

"Bro, I almost ate too much."

"No wonder they didn't make the playoffs."

"The support role is alright."

"..."

lwx and lqs walked together toward the player tunnel, and the latter asked in confusion, "...Why did we suddenly take off?"

lwx said embarrassedly, "I almost showed off."

He then emphasized, "The barrel was bound to die anyway, and from that position, it was difficult for the Minotaur to get over."

Listening to their conversation, Xx became increasingly annoyed.

He felt that the AD's good performance was a result of the team's favoritism, and he shouldn't have had any intention of showing off, let alone feel so little guilt after feeding.

He wanted to see the remorse and repentance, not just gloss over it, and the fact that he was in the mood to joke and laugh with his assistant.

So let's go back to the background.

As soon as the coach mentioned a thousand yuan, Xx chimed in, "This time, he tried to show off but ended up getting ripped off instead."

Xx 'objectively' describes the facts.

But his ambiguous smile was off-putting.

To be fair, LWX wasn't entirely heartless. He was sweating bullets when he was secretly being controlled, but the subsequent chain reaction wasn't that big, and since the ending was good, he just wanted to make a few self-deprecating remarks to let it go.

But Xx just wouldn't let it go; he just had to cause trouble.

In Lwx's eyes, even though he failed to show off, neither the leader nor GimGoon said anything. Yet Lwx was singing and dancing like a big bad wolf.

I did give away a thousand yuan, which was wrong of me.

Can't you speak properly?
"You have to pretend when you play games, how can you play if you don't pretend?" lwx said angrily, after all, someone had taken the initiative, and not responding would make it seem like he was afraid of him.

"Is this your reason for flying in and delivering it without saying a word?" Xx smiled with a sidelong glance.

He knew he was being incredibly annoying; you could tell just by looking at 369 and Bin's reactions. The problem was, he wanted to be devastating, he wanted to break Lwx's defenses.

"I don't think we lost this round, right?"

lwx admitted that he was a little vulnerable.

"I didn't lose, I just think you're not worthy of pretending."

After they finished speaking, both of them fell silent. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder. Qin Hao suspected that someone was taking sides at this moment, and the weaker party would explode.

can only say…

The thing I feared still happened.

Based on Qin Hao's observation, Xx only respects those who are better than him and has no patience for "noobs." Because he doesn't know how to speak properly and doesn't consider the occasion, he has the ability to embarrass people and escalate conflicts.

If the communication style were different and the attitude more friendly, Qin Hao believed that lwx would be very willing to admit that he gave up easily, and it might even become a topic of conversation within the team, with people occasionally bringing up his 'dark history'.

Why make it so serious?

Who is willing to admit their mistake?
Even if we win this round, or even if we lose, it's hard to tolerate such a reprimand. It's a matter of status; if Qin Hao had asked that question, it would have been much better than Xx.

because…

Fighting among people of the same social standing is too much of a bullying situation.

What's going on between you two?

Even in this situation, Mycroft was still joking.

As a practitioner who puts aside his desire to help others and respects the fate of others, Brother Mai is never afraid of contestants arguing, and may even actively engage in psychological manipulation.

Just like how he played top lane and knows how difficult it is, yet he's always harsh on top laners, he's the kind of person who argues with Red Wolf, admits he's bad, and then continues to put pressure on her.

"What, is this your first day as teammates?"

The two stopped looking at each other and lowered their heads.

"Xx, what did I tell you?"

Xx suddenly raised her head, suppressing her grievances: "I didn't curse him, I didn't say a single swear word."

Hmm, that really is...

Since being fined for swearing, Xx has been trying to restrain himself.

"What's wrong with you? You get angry just because I said a few words to you?" Brother Mai looked at Lwx.

"I admit I gave away a big one, but can you please stop talking about it?"

During this time, lwx got a basic understanding of Mai's temper, so he was quite straightforward: "If you feed like this again in the second game, I can tolerate you being disgusting, but you just gave up once and you keep babbling on and on. What the hell did I do to make you hate me so much?"

lwx has already kept it.

If Xx had dared to swear just now, lwx would have given him a taste of his family history, adding "Did you fuck your horse?" before "hate".

Therefore, he suppressed his inexplicable anger.

He should have been in the octagon according to his personality, but considering that Qin Hao and Jingong Long were fighting 2 against 5, he didn't want to cause trouble or put the captain in a difficult position.

Cvmax: "I just have one question: can you two even fight?"

"able…"

lwx's voice is very loud.

At this moment, Qin Hao said softly, "Actually, during the transfer period, I wanted to send you away?" Qin Hao could have let Guo Hao play the villain and reveal the inside story through him.

after all…

This falls within the manager's job scope, so he can lie there with a clear conscience.

At this moment, Qin Hao felt that as the team leader, it was necessary to speak up—resentment would not disappear, but would only grow rampant in the dark corners.

Instead of waiting for it to fester and then getting frustrated, it's better to be honest.

"I still remember the first time I met you, during that team practice, you were paired with 369..."

"Yeah, remember."

Xx didn't know what was going on, but it seemed like the captain had a problem with him.

"...When I took off my headphones, I heard Hao say that the jungler and the top laner were arguing, and they were arguing so fiercely that they were about to fight. I thought it was absurd because I didn't think it was that serious."

Qin Hao's voice wasn't loud, but everyone was listening.

Xx couldn't help but defend himself: "Before that training match, I had been paired with him for a month. He would only help the carry if he wasn't there, otherwise he would just explode. And afterwards, he would always make excuses, like there wasn't a counter-role available, or he was being targeted..."

Xx didn't mean to criticize indirectly, but lwx felt that did.

Putting yourself in his shoes, it seems he's also trying to comfort himself by saying that the problem is that while it's supposed to be a gift, the actual experience isn't like that.

"See, you won't accept it. Even if 369 goes to RW and it doesn't affect you anymore, you'll still remember that he tricked you."

Xx took a deep breath and heard the captain continue, "I've always felt that it's good to be lenient with others and lenient with yourself. It's not as noble as being strict with yourself and lenient with others, but don't be strict with others either, and don't easily forgive yourself."

lqs raised his head and looked at Qin Hao.

He wasn't particularly muscular, but his shoulders were surprisingly broad.

"Think about it, if you messed up, how would you feel if people kept bringing it up?"

"I accept being criticized."

Qin Hao knew that Xx wasn't lying; he was disgusting to others, and he allowed others to disgust him as well.

"But we can't expect everyone to be like you. Just because you think it's okay or not excessive doesn't mean everyone can accept it. We are a collective, and we must allow others to have different standards of tolerance..."

Qin Hao continued, "Do you think you're in the right?"

Xx paused, and for the first time ever, hesitated: "I'm just a little upset." He didn't know if he was in the right; he just wanted the person involved to feel bad too when he was upset.

"Okay, you two apologize."

"No ..."

Qin Hao interrupted, "You didn't use any profanities, but you went a bit too far."

"Why should I apologize? He gave me a big one, and he still got hard."

Just as Qin Hao was about to speak, Brother Mai suddenly interrupted: "...Since you two are not convinced by each other, why don't you go back and have a fight? We just converted a gym last year, so clear out the area, put on your protective gear, and I'll be your referee."

Guo Hao bent down slightly, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

"Was I not clear enough? Logically, Xx, you should apologize, but even if you apologize, I doubt Lwx will accept it and will still be emotional."

These words struck a chord with Lwx. Unless Xx never laughs again, he will remember this laugh for the rest of his life.

“I’ve been this age too. Since apologizing isn’t very effective, let’s add a rule to our team: if anyone has a problem, we should challenge them to a fight in the octagon. Let’s be men and vent our anger in a fight.”

Guo Hao's knees buckled, and he almost knelt down before Director Mai.

He is trying his best to build a loving family, but it seems difficult at the moment.

After all, the reason they were able to succeed last year was because Peanut was quiet and reserved, Mark was a sycophant, Smlz didn't care that much about the support ignoring him, and training was very tiring...

But this year.

He doubted that he was wrong.

When Qin Hao suggested sending Xx away, he was really touched to see that Xx was willing to take a pay cut to refuse contracts from other teams. In addition, when he acquired the second team, he was most impressed by Xx and 369 and wanted to take care of his "own people".

Also.

After these days of practice, he found that the bot lane wasn't as eager for the championship. Perhaps they hadn't suffered as many setbacks, or perhaps they hadn't made it to the playoffs last year and were too far from the championship. In any case, he couldn't see the same feeling that smlz had in lwx.

Speaking of training...

They weren't late or left early, but the impression they gave was that they were content with the status quo...

Xx was stunned and somewhat at a loss. It wasn't that she was afraid to fight back, but rather that she felt Mai was just saying things out of anger and that if she agreed, she would be sidelined.

Cvmax: "Scared?"

lwx couldn't resist the provocation: "Anyway, with protective gear, it won't hurt you much." After saying that, he stared at Xx.

Damn. I packed it up for you?

"Row."

"Friendship first, gestures second, I understand."

lqs gave lwx a thumbs up, while GimGoon crossed his arms and looked a little serious.

lwx gave Qin Hao a guilty look, gripping the handrail as he practiced his left and uppercuts, hoping that after this incident, he wouldn't cause any more trouble for the team.

The staff came over and told us to go on stage.

As Qin Hao walked down the corridor, he said, "Speak your mind, don't hold grudges."

Xx whispered, "I'm sorry, Captain."

"You're not apologizing to me." Qin Hao looked straight ahead: "If you feel you haven't done anything wrong, then don't admit it. You're like that with everyone."

"really…"

lqs has a hidden meaning.

Seeing the support player take sides, Xx puffed out his chest again: "If you're not happy with me, we can arrange a time to fight."

"I won't take advantage of you; I'll wait until you've had enough rest."

LQS loves beauty and is willing to take care of his face, but as a problem child in the eyes of teachers, he is not effeminate at all. On the contrary, he does not indulge him at all.

"This is only the spring season, and the contract is transferable."

"so…"

"Show a professional attitude."

Mycroft mentioned it at the end.

And so, while people were still making jokes about lwx's nickname and laughing at wink for not being good at playing with girls, the second round of the draft began.

This time.

Top Esports continues to focus on the champion pool of their jungler and support.

With Sejuani, Gragas, and Jarvan IV out of the lineup, Top Esports continued to ban Xin Zhao, Rakan, Braum, Kindred, and Lee Sin, and then first-picked Camille.

This meant that with IG's red team picking Thresh, Draven, and Galio in the first three picks, their jungler had no suitable engage champion to synergize with.

IG was initially worried about their support not having enough champions, so they chose to protect the bot lane duo in the first three picks, hoping to give Wink more confidence in his lane and prevent him from being pressured under the tower like in the previous game. However, with the jungler bans in the second round, Ning's champion pool seems a bit insufficient.

"excavator?"

"The excavator was sheared off..."

"Troll?"

"Let Galio initiate alone?" Karam wasn't fully familiar with IG yet, but Ning knew how nightmare it was to initiate a team fight by a single player, especially since Baolan was playing Thresh, who was more of a support, so it was hard to rely on the support to hold the enemy in place.

"...If there's no time left, you can decide for yourself."

Rookie acted as the translator and helped convey the message, so in a lineup that clearly lacked a frontline, Wink locked in Kayn. This is something that viewers have been interested in since the global ban/pick system was implemented.

That means targeted compression forces some heroes to be brought into play.

Someone might ask.

Isn't Ning playing Kayn?

The problem is that when Ning plays Kayn, he's mostly stomping noobs; he's rarely picked this "slaughtering" hero in grudge matches, since Kayn's weaknesses are too obvious.

The same reason.

The last time Baolan played Thresh was back at the beginning of the 18 Summer Split.

Just like that.

The camera panned to the screen, and Ning and Baolan both looked a bit stiff, showing no sign of relaxation.

Just like the match data found in the live chat, Baolan lacked confidence in his Thresh.

I can say I have all the skills, but I don't have much visual appeal. I only chose this character because I wanted to pair him with Draven.

"What should Top Esports pick? Their AD carry has already picked Caitlyn. Should they pick Lux to push the lane, or should they pick Tahm Kench to play it safe and wait for their teammates?"

No hesitation.

Having just tested IG's bot lane strength in the previous game, LQS immediately requested Poppy.

"...What items do you build for jungling?"

"Zac, I'll start the raid."

"..."

With the lineup locked in, Cvmax commented, "We should still focus on plating; we'll change it if necessary."

"OK."

"know."

Myco took off his headset and bumped fists with Karam.

In contrast, in the De Yun Se live stream, when Xi Ka saw that this game was Caitlyn and Poppy against Draven and Thresh, he dared to make the judgment: "IG is going to get their plating rubbed off by Caitlyn again."

Xiaoxiao: "You think Draven + Thresh can't beat Caitlyn and Poppy?"

Xika: "The bot lane matchup depends on the support. If Thresh doesn't put pressure on you, Draco will be incredibly strong. Just watch, I believe in Baobao!"

Then, Xika asked Kid, "You're familiar with Baolan, how would you describe Baolan's Thresh?"

"describe?"

"Correct."

Xiaoxiao interjected, "Like manure, or like a master..."

"Can I tell you?"

"What's wrong with saying this? You and Baolan are such good friends, what's wrong with giving your opinion?"

"I'm not familiar with him."

Viewers in the live stream: Hahahaha!

With two spots in sight, it was easy to catch the kid, and the viewers who didn't mind the excitement were all chatting in the live chat.

"Kid: Not familiar with him/her."

"Waaah, there will never be another brother like Kid and Baolan."

"When will Baolan repay this kindness?"

"Baolan: Someone, feed Kid noodles! Ten pounds of them!"

"Unsolicited feelings are prohibited in this live stream."

"They got completely destroyed in the last round, how are the mom fans going to defend themselves?"

"The runner-up support is not as good as the support on the side lane last season. This is the fourth player in Blue Mom's eyes. The fourth player is fine."

"It's good to lock them in. If IG wins the championship, who knows how arrogant Stinky Shoes will be."

"..."

De Yun Se was jumping around in the face of the enemy team, while Guan Zeyuan was talking about how Kai'Sa had farmed too fast in the top lane. Right there, everyone in the chat thought that a front-line tank or Jayce would be added to the top lane, but an unexpected hero appeared on the big screen.

"Calista?"

"Ah!! It's locked!!"

"No, AD top laner?" Guan Zeyuan asked in surprise, "If you covered up the team name, I would have thought we were playing ranked."

Cat: "To be honest, in ranked AD top lane, everyone picks Vayne. Nobody really picks Kalista. After all, Vayne is a good pick because she can bully the front line. If you add some tank items in the late game, she can carry the game."

"Is this what global ban/pick is?! In a best-of-three series, I guessed wrong several times!"

"Indeed, we didn't expect Sejuani to come off the bench last time... Now it seems like Top Esports is burning Ning's champion pool."

Guan Zeyuan remained excited: "I don't know what the fans think, but when I saw this match, I found it particularly exciting. Winning or losing wasn't that important!"

"They've split up, and it really is Kalista going up, not Draven."

Cat suddenly thought, "If this is TheShy's secret weapon, wouldn't that be a way of burning Wink's champions? I've seen Wink play Kalista in the comments."

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed with delight, "So it turns out that in the global ban/pick phase, not only will you be targeted by the opponent, but you also have to be wary of your own teammates!"

"666666."

Wink: I really will thank you.

"Good heavens, the Circus Bureau!"

"That's why I like IG. Win or lose, they don't drag things out."

"The world's best attacker!!"

"The neighbor was right, it really has become a ranking system."

"It's ridiculous, I can't find Kalista in ranked games."

"..."

The entire audience was astonished.

TheShy silently selected Hail of Blades, contemplating his strategy for the lane. After all, he chose Kalista this game because he felt that other champions could only pressure him with Camille at best, without creating a significant advantage.

Also.

Coach Karam is indeed decisive. He had only played this champion in ranked games and developed it to counter Viktor. After communicating with the team, he felt that it would be good against Camille, so the coach directly told him to lock it in, regardless of the so-called scrim experience.

If it were last year's player, I'd definitely make him gain weight...

"Wow…"

"Hail of Blades Kalista?"

"They're coming straight for the line."

"..."
