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

[I’m tired. I’ve been a fan of Xin for ten years, but today I’m changing my ways. While I’m stopping being a fan, I’d like to talk about my journey over the past nine years.]

[As the title suggests, I'd like to reveal my identity first: I was born in 97, have been a fan of Xin for ten years, and have learned Go for three years since elementary school. I stopped learning Go after entering junior high school because of my busy schoolwork. Now I play Go 4D, and you can see the game records. Although I'm a rookie, I'm definitely not one of those "little wise guys" who don't know Go at all and only have abstract ideas in their heads.]

[Although I no longer study Go systematically, I am still a serious Go player and I often follow Go competitions and watch replays.]

【Gradually, I began to become familiar with a name - Lin Ruixin. 】

[Since the beginning of 14, this somewhat unfamiliar name has frequently appeared in the quarterfinals, semifinals, and even finals of domestic competitions! This quickly made me pay attention to this chess player of the same age.]

[In fact, I could feel at that time that his chess revealed a kind of spirituality, and he could often play very counterintuitive and good chess moves.]

[After that, I got to know him better and found that although this young chess player, who seemed a bit introverted and irritable, had not made a big breakthrough in his competition results, he was very hardworking in off-court training.]

[At that time, there was no AI, and training generally only consisted of training matches and playing online chess. Lin Ruixin preferred playing online chess, and the intensity of his training was very high! ]

[He has trained so much that no one in China can match his number of games! In order to ensure quality, he even found a way to sneak to the South Korean TYG Go platform and found Lao Li, who also trained hard, and played against him every day.]

[But because Lin Ruixin was still relatively young at that time, his mentality in competitions was average, and he didn’t pay enough attention to some details, so he always failed at the last minute. Therefore, many senior people in the industry were not optimistic about him, thinking that his mentality was a big problem. They were more optimistic that Long Bo would take over from Lu Tianyuan and become the leader of China.]

[But I was already impressed by Lin Ruixin's spirited chess style and extremely hardworking attitude, and secretly became his fan, looking forward to his good results]

[Amidst all the pessimistic voices, Lin Ruixin suddenly emerged as a dark horse, standing out from many masters and becoming the challenger for the title of [Chess Saint]! ]

[After five rounds of fierce competition, Shang Qi Wang chose to withdraw after the third round due to health reasons. He really got the title of "Chess Saint" which symbolizes the best player in China! ]

[At that time, even though the experts in the circle were not optimistic about him, and many people even thought that he was only able to steal the title of Chess Saint by taking advantage of the poor health of King Shang, I knew that such a hardworking and determined young chess player would soar to the sky as long as he was given some confidence.]

[Sure enough, everything that happened later confirmed my judgment.]

[In the 2015 Spring Orchid Cup, he defeated Long Bo head-on in the final, proving that he deserved the title of "Chess Saint" and starting his journey to become the Seventh Champion.]

[After that, he won the Sanshuang Cup in 2016, the Miaojia Bailing Cup, the Mengli Baihe Cup in 2017, and the Miaojia Bailing Cup in 2018... He became a recognized leader in the Chinese chess world, and his unrestrained style was refreshing! ]

[Before Lin Ruixin, most chess players were influenced by traditional Go etiquette education and were relatively introverted and calm. Even a relatively eccentric player like Lao Lei would be more careful about his words and actions in public (last year's fifth game of the Go Saint Tournament was probably a special case and cannot be counted).]

【Lin Ruixin is very different from the impression given by previous chess players. After losing his immaturity, he appears to be young and promising, yet bold and outspoken. 】

[Although words like "50% out of 100" and "I'm going to make Xiaoguang bleed for five steps" sound a little disrespectful, you can really feel his youthful spirit.]

[And the years when Lin Ruixin was invincible really gave us chess fans a great sense of security and happiness. It was also because of Lin Ruixin that our suppression of South Korea changed from "relying only on thickness" to "both sharpness and thickness"]

[I wonder if there was any young chess fan who didn’t like Lin Ruixin at that time! ]

[At the beginning of 2019, Lin Ruixin crushed Liu Shaoye, who entered the World Championship finals for the first time, with an absolutely strong attitude, and won his sixth championship. At the same time, he surpassed Cui Minghao at the age of 22 years and 4 months, becoming the youngest "six-time champion" in history! ]

[At that time, almost all Chinese Go players were full of expectations for Lin Ruixin's future.]

[And I also imagine that if Lin Ruixin continues to develop at this speed, he may not compete with Choi Myung-ho for the Go GOAT, but he should have a good chance of reaching double digits in the number of world championships and competing with Choi Sung-seok for the title of "Executive Vice GOAT". ]

[However... just when I thought it was just the beginning, I didn't know it was almost over. ]

[It was at that time that some of Lin Ruixin's character flaws began to emerge.]

[Having achieved enough success, he is no longer diligent. He no longer tries to squeeze out time to train and improve like he did a few years ago. Instead, he appears on variety shows, opens social media, and livestreams playing games.]

[Even in the competitions, he used many tricks to show off his skills. He was criticized by the association many times, but he still did his own thing and ignored it.]

[At the time, I felt that something was not right. But I still had a protective attitude towards this chess player whom I had been following since he was still unknown. I thought it was normal for Lin Ruixin to be a little arrogant, considering his good performance.]

[Besides, as he himself said, the sport of Go is indeed too niche, and it needs someone who can go beyond the circle to endorse Go, which will be of great benefit to the promotion of Go. ]

[Unfortunately... battle reports may be deceiving, but battle lines will not.]

[As his mind was distracted by other things, his performance in the competition declined significantly.]

[Since winning the Sanshuang Cup in 2019, he has maintained a certain dominance in China, but his performance in the World Championships has obviously declined. In addition to winning the Sanshuang Cup at the beginning of the year, he failed to enter the semi-finals in the other three World Championships! ]

[After entering 2020, the situation has not changed much. ]

[Although he won the LIG Cup at the end of the year by relying on Master Liu's clock violation and won his seventh championship, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his chess content is different from Liu Shixian's in terms of offense and defense.]

[At that time, I had a hunch that Lin Ruixin might not be able to compete with Cui Chengshi for the title of executive vice GOAT. But I thought, after all, if I win one or two more championships, I can completely surpass Shang Qi Wang and firmly become the number one in Chinese history, right?]

【But the facts told me that I still took the clothes. 】

[In the 21st Sanshuang Cup, Da Pu's little universe exploded and he actually defeated Master Liu! After he entered the finals, he was defeated by Lin Ruixin. At that time, like most chess fans, I was joking about "South Korea's thickness pitted itself" and preparing to celebrate Lin Ruixin's "cupping king", but I didn't expect to become a clown! ]

[In the 21st LIG Cup semi-finals, Lin Ruixin met Master Liu again. This time, Lin Ruixin finally couldn't suppress this hardworking "young man" and was completely defeated. Since then, he has not entered the top four of the world championship for three years, and he has also started his Meng Huo journey against Master Liu. ]

[In the 22 Qiantang Asian Games, Xu Lifan from Taiwan Strait Province turned on his immortal mode and showed his prowess. In the semi-finals, he eliminated Master Liu, the biggest nemesis of Master Lin, by half a point. This made me, a Xin fan, exclaim that fellow Taiwan Straits people really still have their hearts set on China. I opened the champagne again after a long absence - after all, there may be four World Championships in a year, but there is only one Asian Games gold medal in four years, and there may even be none in the future! ]

[But who would have known that even if the finals weren't against Master Liu, Lin Ruixin would still fail! He even lost more than half a point! This immediately chilled me to the bone! ]

[It’s okay if the World Championships don’t go well. It’s okay if the Asian Games gold medal is lost.]

[But in the past four years, do you know how much I wanted to see Lin Ruixin stop Master Liu once in the Nongshim Cup? ! ]

[In the three Nongshim Cups from 21 to 23, when did his teammates not help him eliminate all the others and kill Master Liu? When did he not just need that one win to end the game? ] [But in the three years of the main players' duel, he lost so cleanly! There was no feeling of the Chinese team's last gate, which was heartbreaking. ]

[Even so, I can still comfort myself that famous players will eventually grow old. Lin Ruixin may be the type whose peak came early and left quickly. It’s okay to be inferior to others. After all, I have been a fan of him for so long, so I will continue to be a fan until he retires! ]

[But I never expected that he would give up the Nongshim Cup qualifiers last year because of the Go Saint Tournament! ]

[China hasn't won a trophy in three years! Is this something a country's No. 1 player should do?! ]

[Don’t say things like “Xiao Lei was exempted from the draft last year and didn’t need to be distracted, and Chess Master Lin was forced to do so”! ]

[This year, in order to keep Ni Jue in the best condition to prepare for the Nongshim Cup, Xiao Lei obviously gave up the challenge opportunity he had been fighting for all the way in the Tianyuan Tournament. And in the Nongshim Cup preliminaries, he also took the initiative to give up the exemption, just to save Ni Jue the flying knife. ]

[You know, Xiao Lei has never won a title! And he has been so short of champions recently that he couldn't even participate in this year's King of Kings! ]

[Comparing the two, the difference is obvious! ]

[When I saw that the final exemption spot was given to Ni Jue this year, I couldn’t help but wonder: Why am I a fan of Lin Ruixin? ]

[Because of his good grades? But his overall strength right now may not be as strong as Xiao Lei's, and one is going downhill while the other is going uphill, so why shouldn't I be a fan of Xiao Lei? ]

[Do you think he can do something funny? But I became his fan because of Go, but he comments on things outside the circle and broadcasts his game every day. Does this have anything to do with Go? ]

[If I really like to have fun, why don't I watch those serious hosts who are just for fun? Am I really like those "little wise guys" and have to enjoy the feeling of "the host is a high-IQ Go master, so I have good taste if I like him"? ]

[At that time, although I was a little shaken, it happened that Lin Ruixin suddenly became more diligent some time ago and didn't live broadcast much. I thought he finally came to his senses. It's not too late to mend the situation. I still have expectations for him. ]

[But regarding this matter of the Respondent Cup, I really can’t hold it in any longer. ]

[Losing to the Japanese chess player in Fanqi? Sending the Japanese chess player to the finals? 】

[Does he know when the last time a Chinese chess player lost to a Japanese chess player? Does he know when the last time a Japanese chess player entered the finals of the Yingyi Cup was? ]

[Does he know that it has been almost thirty years since the last Yingyi Cup final without Chinese people? ! ]

[If he was just weak, then he would be fine if he lost, but anyone with a discerning eye would know that he is obviously stronger than the little bastard! ]

[In the middle of the second game, we were defeated despite having both the advantage in terms of situation and time. In the third game, in the 69th move, we made a shocking and evil move... It was really painful to watch.]

【To take a step back, if it's just a loss, then that's fine. After all, victory or defeat is always uncertain, and we fans have no right to criticize the players. 】

[But I... really don't want to hang out with those "little wise guys" anymore. ]

[The Yingyi Cup quarterfinals ended this time, Rui Zhao lost to Takuya Ichijo. In fact, Xiaotuzi himself said after the game that he was clearly superior in strength. Rui Zhao was able to win against Da Park and Lao Li in the past, largely because the two South Korean masters did not target him enough, and he might also have psychological baggage. ]

[The result was such a normal victory and defeat, but for some reason, a bunch of "little wise guys" started to mock it, saying "the Japanese were sent to the semi-finals."]

[Let’s not talk about the result of the semi-finals, just talking about that time. Even if other people mock Rui Zhao, it’s fine, but Lin Ruixin and his fans don’t have the qualifications, okay?! ]

[Let's look at Rui Zhaoshou's line afterwards: if she hadn't defeated Da Park and Lao Li one after another, then Lin Ruixin's opponent in the semi-finals would most likely be one of the two South Korean world champions.]

[Lin Ruixin has always had a bad record against Lao Li in the World Championships, and he has also lost two key games against Da Pu. It is not a good draw to play against both of them.]

[As a result, Rui Zhao defeated these two and lost to the little bastard. It can be said that his most ideal foreign war opponent was brought to Lin Ruixin. How dare those "little wise guys" take advantage of him and act like a good kid? ]

[Besides, Rui Zhao is such a beautiful girl. After becoming famous, she still practices chess diligently every day. Every day, she either practices with others or asks Ran Ran to explain her games. She also promotes the companies and places that sponsor the events for free.]

[Although the live broadcast is not as popular and influential as Lin Ruixin's, it is indeed providing support for the development of Go. ]

[Lin Ruixin himself is always trying to "go out of the circle to attract traffic". I admit that he may have attracted some people outside the circle to really like Go, but aren't there more NC fans who only play abstract games with him every day and give advice based on the AI's winning rate? ]

[Although the original Go community was small, everyone was generally reasonable and had similar values. He attracted a bunch of people who were very aggressive but didn't know anything about Go. Isn't this the so-called "fan circle"? Is this really good for the development of Go?]

[To be honest, since he attracted so many abstract fans, I often have to take screenshots of my own chess achievements in the forum to prove that I am an old fan who has liked him for a long time and understands chess, not a "little wise guy". ]

[But I have persisted until today. I can forget about not winning the eighth championship. I actually ended up sending a Japanese chess player to the final of the Yingyi Cup. I am really tired.]

[I have written so much without realizing it. Feel free to read it. Just think of it as me venting my bitterness.]

----

[Um... Please be generous, I understand you very well.]

【As we all know, every Xin hater was once a Xin fan, and so am I. 】

[OP, I really admire you. You are truly in love with the internet celebrity Lin. I stopped being a fan when I saw the situation was not right in 22. Otherwise, being with that group of "little wise guys" would really lower my IQ.]

[Hey, brother, have you changed your route too? I can’t hold on any longer either.]

[It’s really hard to be a “rational Xin fan”! I often feel that the first two words and the last two words are complete antonyms…]

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening on August 8, in a room of Cilian Courtyard Hotel in Ci Chi Town.

Mo Wei, who had just finished reading the most popular post on the Yiguo forum, looked solemn and remained silent for a long time. (End of this chapter)
