Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Chapter 173 A mess
Saturday, April 7.

In China, on the Yiguo Go Forum.

The voting post [Do you think Lin Ruixin is a coward?] which had been popular for five consecutive days finally saw its "transfer of power" on this day and dropped from the top of the popularity list.

Instead, there is a new post created yesterday evening:
[Concentrated discussion thread on the matter of new first-dan Rui Zhao receiving a wild card for the Wu Yue Cup (centralized discussion, all other threads will be deleted)]

The title clearly states what this post is mainly about.

But the content of the post is far from as civilized and friendly as the title suggests.

[Giving a wild card to a newly promoted first-dan player who just got promoted less than a week ago to the Women's World Championship? Are you kidding me! This is too blatantly biased! ]

[Although I usually don’t like Lin Ruixin and his fans, I still support him in this matter]

[It's only natural for the little witch to get a wild card! Last year, she won five consecutive victories as a pioneer in the women's competition, and she often reached the semi-finals in the domestic women's competition. But what is Rui Zhao? What achievements has she made? Does she have many live broadcast fans? Is it appropriate for her to break the previous routine? ]

[Haha! What's inappropriate? Xiao Zhao has won many Go championships. Let me count with you! ]

[The champion of the No. 1 female Go anchor in China, the champion of the beauty pageant in the professional circle, the champion of the undefeated women's ranking tournament, the champion of successfully blocking Bai Yinhua, the champion of having a big advantage in playing online chess with the little witch, the champion of challenging Lin Ruixin and scaring her opponent... Is this not enough?! ]

[The Queen of Live Broadcasting, Zhao Tianhou, has achieved so many achievements, and you dare to question her? You are so brave! ]

[Uh, upstairs... Although I know you are being sarcastic, the more I listen, the more I feel that giving a wild card to such a person doesn't seem to be a big problem...]

Yang Manjing: ???

[How can there be no problem? How can a female anchor like her be compared with a female chess player like Little Witch who is so powerful, well-behaved, and cute!]

Yang Manjing, who was reading a post in a good mood, discovered that someone seemed to be talking to Rui Zhao. He immediately typed a message indignantly and sent it out.

That’s right, the little witch in the training base didn’t pay much attention to training that day. Instead, she was posting intensively.

After all...it feels so good to be praised by others!
Yesterday afternoon, as the "Wu Yue Cup" wildcard list was announced, the entire Go community was instantly in an uproar - even bigger than the previous incident when Rui Zhao challenged Lin Ruixin!

The previous fight between Lin and Rui was just a private matter between the two of them, and the spectators were just watching for fun, but they didn't get too radical.

But this time it was very different: a female anchor who had just been promoted to a professional position and had not achieved any success was directly stuffed into the Women's World Championship. This was a very outrageous thing in the eyes of most people!
So once the news came out, the Go Association and Rui Zhao were immediately criticized by a large number of Go fans. Even the fans of [Weiqi Xiao Zhao] dared to say "this wild card is not what our Xiao Zhao wanted."

As the winner of another wild card, Yang Manjing naturally became the target of direct comparison by many fans, who praised Yang and criticized Rui in various ways. This made Yang Manjing, who was posting on the Internet, feel so proud that she couldn't stop.

Unexpectedly, just as she said this, a voice suddenly came from behind her:

"...Jingjing, why don't you train hard and go on your trumpet to argue with others?"

"what!"

Yang Manjing was shocked and quickly jumped up and looked back, only to see Liu Yuhong, the main player of the Su Hu team, standing behind him!

The little witch knew that she had been completely exposed. It was useless to quibble. She could only pout and say:
"Just... I've been a little tired from training lately, so I want to relax a little."

Liu Yuhong shook his head helplessly:
"Jingjing! Didn't I tell you earlier that you should practice chess as soon as possible?

"Although you are really talented, this is no reason to slack off!"

"I know, I know."

After the little witch simply responded, she put her phone back into the storage area and hurried back to the training room to continue training.

After driving back the three members of his team, Liu Yuhong saw that there was no one around for the time being, so he calmly took out his mobile phone, logged into the Yiguo Forum, and read the previous concentrated discussion post.

There's no way... this thing is too eye-catching.

As soon as the announcement came out, the entire Go community was in chaos, and even many professional masters came out to take sides!

First, Chu Jun, the champion of the previous rookie king, questioned on social media almost immediately after the announcement of the Go Association: "How can a new first-dan who has been promoted for less than a week get a wild card for the World Women's Go Championship?" He took the lead in firing the first shot of the "anti-Zhao movement".

Since someone has taken the lead, another big internet celebrity in the chess circle who has a grudge against Rui Zhao will naturally come to help.

Last night, when Lin Ruixin was live streaming, he followed the current hot topics and made some sarcastic comments about [Go Xiao Zhao], saying that she didn't have much ability and that all her skills were spent on public relations.

The "anti-Zhao faction" was already the majority in this controversy. But once the two million-plus-fan Lin the Great Go Master stepped onto the stage, the debate instantly became one-sided.

But just when people thought that Rui Zhao and the chess association could only lie low and be ridiculed, the situation changed. First, near midnight last night, Zou Yang, the current holder of the title of "Female Celebrity" and the top female rating in China, directly started a group on social media, accusing Lin Ruixin of ignoring the facts and misleading the public in last night's live broadcast.

She also said with certainty that Rui Zhao's strength is already at the level of the top ten women in the country. Considering the social influence of "Go Xiao Zhao", it is not a bad idea to give Rui Zhao a wild card.

This statement surprised everyone in the industry!
You know, Zou Yang is generally a soft-hearted person. Apart from always arguing with Liu Yuhong, he rarely participates in discussions on other things!

But this time, he actually started a group just for his own junior sister!
You know, Sun Yi had caused countless jokes before, but Zou Yang, as his senior sister, had never spoken up for the current Yixian once!
But since the great chess master Lin was specifically opposed by the little sheep, how could he let it go?

At one o'clock in the morning, Lin Ruixin also responded to Zou Yang's accusations on social media, with another tit-for-tat and sarcastic remark, accusing her of being biased towards her own junior sister, which directly led to Zou Yang's comment section becoming a battlefield.

At this point, the "Pro-Zhao faction" was still struggling to catch their breath in this unfavorable situation, and basically relied on defensive tactics.

However, early this morning, the fate of another top male player made the debate even more intense.

The contemporary celebrity Tian Yuan [Yuwei Wang Blade] suddenly posted on the Yiguo Forum, writing a long article recording the various things that had happened since he met his junior sister, as well as his understanding of Rui Zhao's strength and character.

There are many things in the article, I won’t list them one by one, anyway, the core idea is this:
The Chess Association gave the second wild card to Rui Zhao, and it was not the wrong person! Not only should it not be criticized, but it was an act of great courage and foresight.

The holder of the men's double title posted the message himself. Although the official of the chess country has said that it will "concentrate on discussion", it does not dare to delete it casually. So it locked the reply to the post and temporarily pinned it to the top, taking a wait-and-see attitude.

The fate of Ni Jue, a big shot, gave a shot in the arm to the "pro-Zhao faction", and gave many fans of [Go Xiao Zhao] who originally did not dare to speak the confidence to compete with others.

But... Zou Yang and Ni Jue are Rui Zhao's senior brothers and sisters after all.

Their statement is still considered by many to be "helping relatives but not the right people", so the debate is still in a 20-80 disadvantage.

...

Liu Yuhong quickly scrolled through the discussion threads on his mobile phone, feeling a little conflicted.

To be fair, as she has always been paying attention to Rui Zhao, she very much agrees with Zou Yang's opinion.

Judging from the previous online chess game between Rui Zhao and Yang Manjing, Rui Zhao is roughly at the top ten goalkeeper level among domestic women.

In this Wu Yue Cup, including one wild card and the runner-up of the previous session, China has a total of nine places. It is very likely that Rui Zhao will make it out of the qualifying tournament. Considering his high popularity and attention, the wild card given by the Chess Association is not outrageous.

But even though she thought so, she absolutely could not support it - otherwise the jealous person in her own team would get angry again!

But when she thought about the platform incident, Queen Mulan suddenly reacted a little.

...Oh, that's right.

Ni Jue and Zou Yang are both gone, where did the monkey go?
Doesn't this guy usually like to join in the fun and express his opinions? But today, when it comes to his junior sister, he doesn't express his opinion?

However, Liu Yuhong was just a little bit strange. If she had to say something, she thought it would be better for Sun Yi not to make such a rash statement. She even felt a little happy for some reason.

First, the "anti-Zhao faction" is now attacking Ni Jue and Zou Yang for helping their relatives instead of the wise. As Rui Zhao's senior brother, Sun Yi will not be able to make much difference even if he supports them.

Secondly... a lot of negative information about Yixian in the world was made up when he expressed weird opinions. Don't be too hasty, as you are not helping but are instead discrediting him.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuhong casually dialed Sun Yi's cell phone. He thought that although this little rascal had a lot of shortcomings, he should still remind him because he had been obedient and sensible when practicing chess with him in the past!
Soon, the call was connected.

However, Sun Yi on the other end of the phone seemed quite impatient.

"Liu Yuhong! What's going on?

"Let me make it clear first. I have been serving as a sparring partner for my junior sister for the past two days. I don't have time to play chess with you!"

???

Before Liu Yuhong could say a word, three question marks appeared above his head.

Obviously...

It was obviously me who came first!

I worked overtime until 8 or 9 yesterday, and then came back to finish the manuscript. I was so sleepy that I got up at 4 again today...

It really is too terrible not to have any drafts saved…
