I, who love to post on Weibo, have become a professional Tongtian generation

Chapter 765 Everything is great, except it uses up a lot of cigarettes.
JD has been in the market for three years.

This broke the team's history of never having reached the finals.

The management was more excited about this than the team members, since there is a general consensus in the industry that the team integration period is usually three years.

If we can achieve good results, we can confidently say that every penny the club spent was used effectively!
and this.

This is also why the management is proud.

It's worth noting that JD didn't make any significant moves in their first year, leading some to say they were only dabbling in esports and didn't care about it. However, in their second year, they acquired IMP and Zoom, boosting the club's public image. Finally, they signed Kanavi, completing the last piece of the puzzle...

Throughout the entire reinforcement process, JD has made steady progress, demonstrating foresight and courage. After all, Xiaofu didn't play badly back in S8.

Given the circumstances at the time.

Giving up a ready-to-play player like Xiaofu in favor of a newcomer is certainly a gamble. Moreover, after discussions, it was discovered that Griffin's management had a relatively ambiguous attitude, making their tactic of decisively offering kickbacks a lesson other clubs could learn.

That's why gacha games are so addictive.

Compared to regular card packs and card pools, esports players are all living, breathing people.

This is not.

When the news of their advancement to the Spring Finals was reported to headquarters, JD.com unusually included the team in their press releases and even created a support page on their own app, featuring a bunch of esports-related product links…

note.

JD is one of the few teams that break even.

After all, JD, as an e-commerce platform, has a need for advertising, and Blue Lotus, as a second-generation rich kid and one of the team's shareholders, has parents with connections.

Therefore, JDG is one of the few clubs among the 16 teams whose performance is average, yet whose sponsor list is still top-tier.

Even without achieving any results, they can still receive related sponsorship fees.

This is an achievement; it allowed them to surpass EDG and RNG and advance to the Spring Finals, and they were able to secure several sponsors who regularly advertise in the LPL overnight.

Just like that.

The smug Blue Lotus is up to her old tricks on Weibo again.

Or rather, he enjoys playing a real-life esports manager game and likes to give pointers and stir up trouble in the game.

For example, WE hired WeiXiao as their head coach this year, and the press releases were all saying things like "don't love him too much," but he spoiled the mood by saying that WeiXiao was no good, and then, using his game knowledge picked up from Hupu, he talked at length about how WE didn't know how to draft.

If that's all there is to it, there's not much hatred. Having a good impression of Xiaoxiao and thinking that Xiaoxiao is a good coach are two different things.

As a result, after winning the regular season match against WE, Blue Lotus went to the comments section and said: "That feels good. Let's see how many people are cursing me today."

This...

It gives people the impression of being tasteless.

After all, he's a team shareholder and manager who constantly stirs up trouble and then claims that netizens attacked him first. Who can argue with that?

Despite having a username of "Light Lotus Fragrance," her actions are far removed from the image of a "lotus"...

and so.

A rare scene unfolded.

On the day of the Spring Finals, Blue Lotus posted a picture of her office and the wall-mounted screen, indicating that she would be watching. The post itself wasn't particularly noteworthy, since she didn't make any threats. However, 60E, Slime, and Starch still remember the grudge from the trash talk.

The reason they didn't launch a siege before was because JD was winning; they said they couldn't break through Blue Lotus's defenses.

But this is a best-of-five series.

According to all pre-match predictions across all platforms, JD's support rate is less than 1%, and this is clearly not JD's limit, but rather the limit of the statistical algorithm.

This is also the time.

Some grudges erupted in the comments section.

Or rather, Blue Lotus felt that the malice directed at JD was inexplicable, but in the eyes of passersby, JD was just someone who didn't eat properly at home, didn't speak properly, and didn't pay attention in class but insisted on using a VPN to go online.

Normally, you can endure it, but with the midterm exams approaching, parents need to decide whether to use a mixed doubles approach or a single Seven Wolves approach based on the results.

Blue Lotus didn't understand.

That's because they're living too happily and don't realize how abstract their behavior is. They think love is something they should do and hate is irrational. They think netizens should praise JD just like they praise TES and IG.

He thought he was playing the role of a powerful rise to power, and that he should naturally gain fans.

As a result, he only reached the third level of fighting power and was ridiculed for only knowing how to change his fate. After the three-year agreement was fulfilled, he was beaten to his knees by Nalan Yanran.

Ever since.

Many netizens took screenshots of the support rate on the mobile app and gathered on Blue Lotus's Weibo account.

Interestingly, this revenge alliance unanimously views Top Esports as the punisher, and no one believes Top Esports will lose to JD Gaming, which shows Qin Hao's reputation for execution...

"Hilarious, less than 1%."

The comments section is full of voting screenshots.

"Not bad, not bad, everyone's come to see the joke."

"The free world in my heart, my buddies, please finish the sentence (evil laugh evil laugh evil laugh)."

"Blue lotus~~ Ah~~"

"I've gone three days without eating, all for this battle."

"So comfortable! So comfortable! So comfortable! So comfortable!"

"Does the others not have keyboards? Let me see your keyboards."

"Stop cursing, the blue lotus is about to drop its little pearls."

"They're all bad people, boohoo~~"

"If you like to talk big and laugh a lot, then if you lose, stand at attention and don't play dead for me."

"Wait until Blue Lotus says something like, 'What's the big deal? She's just a winner. I think she can win.'"

"With so many people criticizing, I suggest you look for your own problems."

"Am I the only one who feels sorry for Pupu? She's stuck with such a manager."

"..."

Blue lotus flowers are being tagged by netizens like crazy.

It's making me a little frustrated.

He first made a phone call to the team leader, and then tagged everyone in the group chat, saying that even if they lost, they should lose with their heads held high.

Kanavi has a strong learning ability. Although he didn't quite understand everything, he knew that the boss wanted them to be at their best, so he sent a string of red envelope emojis and patted the boss on the shoulder.

This scene made Gao Gao want to laugh.

Because Kanavi is still under a child labor contract, Blue Lotus often sends out large red envelopes in the group chat to show her appreciation. Kanavi does like money, and he is the only one in the team who dares to ask for it.

It’s time to say it or not.

With such a willing teammate, Gao Gao was also looking forward to the boss's response while holding her phone. After all, who would turn down money?

Blue: @Kanavi, play it safe, I'll post it after you guys finish playing!
Blue Lotus doesn't lack this, and she enjoys the flattery from everyone when she's handing out packages.

After all, in the circle of rich kids, getting involved in e-sports is considered pretty good, and their families support it. It's better than someone losing hundreds of millions in a startup, not to mention the emotional enjoyment of gacha pulls.

Seeing that the boss hadn't sent it, Kanavi patted it three times in a row.

Blue Lotus, already angry, remained silent upon seeing this:

—Stop filming, okay?

—I already said I'd send it after I finished typing it.

—Fuck you, do you think this is a war?

Giving out red envelopes before a match always has a "the emperor doesn't starve his soldiers" feel to it.

The way the problem is framed makes it seem like you can't play unless you send red envelopes, which is a bit unpleasant, since nobody wants their red envelopes to be taken for granted.

This little incident has passed.

Seeing that Gao Gao and IMP looked listless, the team leader couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"without…"

“No,” IMP said, slurring his words.

"You all look like you're about to fall asleep."

Gao Gao sighed, "I just wanted to light mosquito coils."

IMP: "I'm a little bit too."

At this moment, the mosquito coil duo displayed an astonishing harmony.

Grass.

You won't have any energy if you don't order some, right?
Never mind, it's all for the finals!
"You two go to the restroom to smoke, don't tarnish our team's image."

IMP: ...

Damn... this sounds so weird! Oh well, I'll enjoy it later!

these 2 years.

Qin Hao tried to persuade him a lot, and he could tolerate it relatively well. Compared to IMP, Gao Gao had no burden. After all, back in his school days, mosquito coils and mineral water were essential for all-nighters in internet cafes, and he didn't have any friends to help him quit.

"going or not?"

Seeing IMP shake his head and yawn, Gao Gao got up and left the lounge alone. After more than ten minutes, Gao Gao's complexion was noticeably better; at least he wasn't smacking his lips anymore. At this moment, the team leader gave a pep talk, but found that the others still looked calm.

"No, at least give me some feedback."

Gao Gao was the first to say, "It won't be easy to win."

"So you just give up if you can't win?"

Unlike typical players who like to spout slogans, GaoGao dislikes empty talk: "To win, you definitely need the top and jungle, and the bottom lane. At most, I can guarantee I won't feed."

"So much pressure?"

GaoGao had a bit of a sense of humor: "Then you guys wouldn't believe me if I said we'd crush Penicillin." He looked at IMP: "If you don't believe me, ask around."

"Don't underestimate me, I can only guarantee I won't deliver."

IMP was influenced by Gao Gao's pragmatic style.

Having partnered with two mid-laners in the Spring Finals, he felt that the difference between GaoGao and Qin Hao's personalities lay in the fact that GaoGao rarely said things like "I want to be a little selfish this game" and rarely expressed the belief that he had to carry by farming resources.

one more.

GaoGao will point out any stupid mistakes during the game; she's not afraid of pressure.

Although he's not exactly a top performer himself, and his attitude isn't exactly exemplary, his professional ethics are passable. It's just that his abilities don't support making boastful statements, and over time, things have turned out this way.

and so…

I'll be teammates with Gao Gao.

It might not be as joyful or comfortable, but it doesn't involve work in life, and there's a comfortable distance between us.

If both carries are like this, it's easy to imagine that there aren't many passionate players in the team.

The leader finally looked at the Duke: "You think so too?"

"How do I break through GimGoon? Our styles are similar, we both focus on farming."

Zoom didn't hide his pessimism either. After all, the team had two smokers and people who kept asking the boss for red envelopes while watching movies. Even if he was serious to begin with, he would be assimilated.

After all, this kind of interaction pattern is destined to result in a relatively harmonious working relationship; getting any closer would be impolite.

"Damn it, saying such rubbish..."

"It's definitely going to be like this when playing against Top Esports. If it were against teams like IG or EDG, I could have a good chat, but against Top Esports, it's just not going to work."

"I'm fed up with you guys! You boost others' morale while crushing your own!"

“If I say it’s easy to play, then they’ll blame me for having too high expectations.” Zoom also had a reason: “The boss always says that since the annual salary is high, it’s only right to play well. Top Esports is more expensive than us, so it’s only right that they play well.”

"No hair, Brother Hao has 30 million."

"One green is equal to ten 'gao' (a type of traditional Chinese medicine)."

"666666."

Everyone in the group got to know each other well.

If the team leader tries to motivate the players but they don't respond, it's just a pre-match adjustment and won't create a bad impression.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the blue lotus is good at attracting hatred.

But his casualness made the team less pretentious. After all, the team members communicated directly in the group about things they didn't do well, and Blue Lotus also liked to teach the team members how to play the game.

~~~
And next door.

The group joked around a lot about their former teammates.

"We must strike hard tonight."

"Have you seen the top-rated comments on the super topic? Everyone's saying that Hao Ge is really good at beating his teammates. In PYL's last game before retirement, he was beaten so badly that he almost broke the record for the most deaths in a single game."

"Got it, I'll just focus on the front line, I don't need to do the job of killing IMPs... right, Captain?"

"..."

Si Shao and Da Mei were the ones shouting the loudest.

After all, he rarely had the chance to deal damage; usually, Qin Hao would just yell at him to "grip my sword tighter."

Fortunately.

Qin Hao wasn't embarrassed at all. After all, work is work and life is life. Beating up his former teammates is a part of what professional players have to face. He had already figured out how C-Bo would help him out that night.

"Don't worry, if you have the means, leave the last bit to me, I'll cover the rest."

"K is awesome, Captain."

"Alright, alright, we'll check the injuries tonight. The loser buys milk tea."

Qin Hao raised an eyebrow at lwx.

Ever since fans captured a GIF of LWX's interview, Qin Hao has been teasing him quite a bit, except that his eyebrows aren't as thick as LWX's.

"Could you buy the whole team a drink?"

lqs loves watching the drama unfold.

"Damn it, you think you've got me cornered?"

Just as Xun was stunned for a moment, lwx quickly begged for mercy: "Why are you getting involved in my bet with the captain? If you want to drink, let's have a damage contest."

"Comparing damage output to a support? Why don't you compare assists?"

"Don't call me that if you don't dare."

"It's nothing." LQS wasn't fooled and instead threatened, "I'm quite happy to see you treating." At this, Qin Hao squinted his eyes with delight.

"I'd like to." lwx refused to back down.

Seeing how childish the two of them were, Xx turned her head away and continued scrolling through Weibo.

From the beginning of the year until now.

Xun played far more times than him, but that was the result of competition, and he had no complaints. On the contrary, since he started dating, his restless energy had found its home, and he could even nod to Lwx.

soon.

With Miller's voice in hand, the viewers in the live stream waited for the match to begin.

The first game.

JD picked Akali and banned Lwx's Kai'Sa in the first three picks.

"The enemy bot lane wants to farm..."

"What?"

lwx was puzzled: What can be gleaned from this little bit of information?
Qin Hao analyzed: "Because Pupu likes to test his skills in the first game, he won't consider a strong lane unless he can't stand it anymore."

Furthermore, banning Kai'Sa in the first round was definitely discussed with the bot lane. They probably didn't want us to pick an aggressive composition, didn't want a high-stakes duel, and just wanted a conventional formation that focused on attrition warfare.

After a thorough analysis, the reasoning and evidence were convincing.

So lwx asked curiously, "Hey, what combination should we choose?"

"Take Neeko, and then burn his Kalista. Trust me, if you pick this, he won't guess that if he has Neeko as support, he will definitely build either Jhin or Ezreal."

"If they occupy the center, we'll find a way to fight in the jungle, making it easier for them to come over and give up."

"Coach, pick this one for me!"

lwx already has footage.

After all, even if you don't trust Qin Hao, you have to trust the duo. Kako's duo has an unbeatable wave clear rate. Also, the hero burning mechanic really bothers Lwx. Just thinking about IMP wanting to make a move but losing his signature hero makes him want to scream.

But now...

Not only did it attract the attention of Si Shao and Da Mei, but even Jing Gong and Cvmax turned their gazes towards it. Because of IMP's personality, even Cvmax felt that this move was very targeted, which shows how difficult it was for the two of them to keep up.

"Let's make this clear first, if any interview questions anyone's business plan seem too targeted, I'll say it's you." My brother knew his relationship with IMP wasn't great and didn't want IMP to worsen the misunderstanding.

"Ah."

Qin Hao had no objections. After all, when he first left LGD, IMP and Red Wolf often made fun of him in the small group chat by sharing microphones. Besides, he was sure he was the one who would take responsibility.

Based on his understanding of IMP, this idea is pretty much correct.

"Don't let me win, remember to check the damage."

lwx laughed.

I love this feeling of being teased from time to time without feeling too pressured. What's even more remarkable is that even after winning three titles, he's still down-to-earth and willing to engage in some childish bets.

Then.

Who will get injured in this round?

Ah, this is so hard to guess...

Some people lose milk tea, some people have no hero...
