LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 42: Sister Hunchback's Personal Interview!

"Wang Yao, you're going to do a personal interview with a contestant later, is that alright?" Abu asked.

Tonight's match marks Wang Yao's first appearance in the LPL region. To allow more viewers to get to know this young FMVP player, the organizers specially added an interview segment.

Of course, since the interview segment was added at the last minute, the host sent to interview Wang Yao was not Yu Shuang, the top female host in the LPL.

Instead, it was Luo Xin, a relatively unknown newcomer host, just like Wang Yao.

Besides, Wang Yao didn't receive any information about the interview content, so he had to improvise on the spot and couldn't rehearse the questions and answers with the female host beforehand.

This is quite challenging for the contestants, because they can't possibly imagine what strange questions the other party might ask.

Fortunately, the female host who was in charge of interviewing Wang Yao this time was a new host from the Sichuan region named Luo Xin.

When Wang Yao learned that the female host interviewing him was Luo Xin, he felt like he was hearing the name of an old acquaintance. Oh, it's Sister Tuozi... I hope she doesn't suddenly do anything awkward.

"I'm OK."

Wang Yao smiled, thinking it was a good opportunity to show off and leave a good impression on LPL viewers.

"Okay, go out and do the interview. We'll pack our things in the lounge first."

Soon, led by official staff, Wang Yao arrived at the backstage interview room.

Several camera devices resembling machine guns were pointed at the black curtain, and three or four photographers were adjusting the equipment on site, preparing to conduct interviews and filming.

This was a live post-match interview broadcast to the entire internet, so the new host, Luo Xin, was nervously reciting the questions she was about to be asked.

Luo Xin, who has been working in the LPL for a full year since 17, is still an unknown aspiring female host and rarely gets important interview assignments.

It was only because Yu Shuang got off work too early tonight that Luo Xin would have had the chance to interview Wang Yao.

Wang Yao stood next to Luo Xin and took a serious look at her. He thought that Luo Xin would be keen on posing before the competition and acting awkwardly like a hunchback sister.

During this period, Luo Xin possessed a youthful and graceful figure, with fair skin and a slender neck, giving off a girl-next-door vibe.

For young fans of the league, Luo Xin's good looks are quite appealing.

Faced with Wang Yao's undisguised gaze, the outgoing and cheerful Luo Xin actually felt a little shy, and her cheeks instantly turned a rosy red.

At first glance, Wang Yao seems quite ordinary, but upon closer inspection, he's actually rather handsome. Also... what's with this inexplicably powerful aura?

"Ahem, are you ready? Time to turn on the cameras." The cameraman reminded the two after connecting to the official LPL live stream.

"OK!"

With her professional demeanor, Luo Xin quickly recovered and gave the camera an OK sign with a sweet smile.

Deng!
As the camera was turned on, the LPL official live stream switched the view to the interview room.

"Good evening, everyone. We are honored to have EDG's rookie player Kshine here for a personal interview."

Luo Xin gave Wang Yao a charming smile and said playfully, "Kshine, say hello to your fans."

"Hello everyone, I'm Kshine, EDG's substitute AD carry." Wang Yao waved to the camera naturally and confidently.

After giving a basic introduction, Luo Xin began asking Wang Yao interview questions.

"EDG brought you on in the third do-or-die game and you delivered an outstanding performance. Some viewers are wondering: Are you EDG's secret weapon prepared specifically for this moment?"

The first interview question was full of hidden meaning, and Wang Yao had to be on his guard and treat it with caution.

He couldn't very well say in front of so many people that iboy was mentally broken by Uzi and couldn't play, so Abu made him take the blame. Seeing Wang Yao's slightly stunned expression, the online viewers couldn't hold back their expressions and flooded the screen with comments.

Kshine: I don't know. I just got a job on a boosting platform for a Challenger-level game. They said if I win three games, I'll get an LPL honor trophy, so I did.

"Kshine's expression is so bad she can barely hold back her laughter. Would you believe me if I said I came here to take the blame? I didn't expect that AD player named Uzi on the other side to be so bad."

"Who's Jian Zihao? I'll snatch his championship with one strike! My eight-kill godlike Tristana talent is already equipped!"

"This guy is kind of handsome, wanna date? I have a cute, childlike voice."

"..."

When Luo Xin asked him the question, Wang Yao replied seriously, "The coach thinks I've been performing well lately, so he's rewarding me by letting me go up and play a round."

The moment the phrase "award a prize" was uttered, even the professionally trained female host Luo Xin found it a bit difficult to understand.

To put a rookie in his first LPL professional league match against a world-class powerhouse like RNG, with his opponent being the top domestic player ADUzi.

This is like a warrior who has just left the beginner village and is about to challenge a max-level BOSS, the Great Demon King.

The astonishing reality was that the warrior, who had just left the starting village, killed the Demon King with a single strike!
In an instant, the viewers in the online live stream were amused by Wang Yao's humorous style and responded with a barrage of comments.

"Good grief, you call a do-or-die match against Uzi a reward? Just you wait, I'm going to follow your Weibo account closely!"

"EDG is a club with a human touch. They were worried that their substitute AD wouldn't get enough playing time, so they deliberately brought in a new player when Uzi was leading 2-0. I really cried!"

"Kshine really showed his worth in these three games. Let's see what happens during the winter transfer window. I think OMG has a chance to sign him!"

"..."

During the interview, Wang Yao's humorous and slightly sassy answers made the whole process flow smoothly.

Luo Xin's work tasks were also very easy.

Soon, Luo Xin asked the last interview question: "In the crucial team fight of the fourth game, how did you find the opportunity to flank? Weren't you afraid of giving away your vision?"

Wang Yao's five-kill flank with the rat was one of the highlights of the night, but for EDG, who are used to playing a stable and strategic game, this decision-making approach was definitely quite aggressive.

If things go wrong, the rat might expose its position, leading to it being surrounded by all five RNG players.

Once Wang Yao's Rat is killed, RNG, having secured the Baron buff, will not give EDG a chance to play a full five games.

And Wang Yao wouldn't have received the FMVP honor he has now, but EDG did just that anyway.

"I was constantly communicating with my teammates, and they were actively creating opportunities for me to flank from behind, which is why I was able to get this pentakill."

Wang Yao nodded and said seriously.

There is no trust without a reason. The fact that EDG players can accept this decision-making approach is also due to Wang Yao's advanced awareness and understanding, which gradually earned the support of his teammates.

If someone were to immediately declare their intention to flank and secure a pentakill, the factory manager would undoubtedly start swearing, making it impossible for Wang Yao to create an environment where he could deal damage.

Luo Xin: "..."

The entire interview was filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, and as time passed, Wang Yao's first solo interview finally came to an end.

The 2017 LPL Summer Split thus came to a close, and the curtain was slowly raised on the S7 World Championship.
