Esports world champion, debuted as the center of a talent show

Jiang Zhiyu glanced at the names of the group and didn't find anyone he couldn't accept.

Lin Sen can choreograph, and Qi Sixian, as far as he remembers, can compose music. If no one can write the lyrics, he can try it himself.

He thought for a moment, nodded, and didn't refuse anyone: "Okay, let's do it this way."

Once the group's roster was finalized, Lin Sen rushed over to Jiang Zhiyu and asked curiously, "What's our group's keyword?"

Jiang Zhiyu turned the slip of paper over and pointed out the words "day and night" to Lin Sen.

Lin Sen looked left and right, scratching his head in frustration: "These two words are so broad. The ones that seem to have a very wide scope are the most difficult."

"Well, let's discuss the general direction in the training room when we get back later. There's still a lot of room for us to explore this word." Jiang Zhiyu looked at the note in his hand carefully, thinking about things related to it.

Lin Sen was also lost in thought when he unconsciously uttered his thoughts aloud: "Day and night... always feel very peaceful."

At this time, the internet was far from peaceful.

The controversy surrounding RXG's crushing defeat in the new season finally erupted the day after the match ended.

The incident originated from a post published by a marketing account. The post was vague but highly inflammatory and misleading.

[@zplEntertainmentExpress: We've received inside information that his departure was "forced" due to internal power struggles within the team. He was replaced by a newcomer, the "crown prince," and the team planned to build their tactics around him. Some team members disagreed, leading to a very tense atmosphere and ultimately causing this crushing defeat. It's heartbreaking to see him suffer; his prime years have been wasted...]

Although this blogger has a bad reputation, he has revealed a lot of inside information about ZPL, and many viewers choose to hold their noses and watch the drama unfold on his page.

This blog post caused a huge stir, quickly spreading among fans and also causing an uproar on the official ZPL tournament forum.

#Wow, did you guys see the latest post about the express train?#

[1L: I saw it, it's so scary! Is this real? I don't really believe it.]

[2L: If R-God left the competition for such an absurd reason, I won't accept it, and I won't let RXG off the hook.]

[3L: I can only say that the authenticity is questionable. I don't believe River is that easy to manipulate.]

—Reply: [In fact, he's a very respectable person. Even if he were bullied, he wouldn't retaliate.]

—Reply: [I don't want to imagine that possibility; I would be unable to resist tearing the RXG club's management apart.]

—Reply: [I don't believe Lin Shi would treat him like that.]

—Reply: [But Lin Shi is just a manager.]

……

[109L: Although Vax played terribly in this game, he still came up through the proper youth training system. Shouldn't a true prodigy be brought in from scratch?]

[110L: During the match, everyone looked unhappy. I didn't expect it was because of this reason for the argument?]

……

[681L: Wait, why are so many people in this thread already assuming the leak is true and starting to curse?]

—Reply: [Although Entertainment Express loves to follow negative rumors, its news is still pretty accurate, right?]

—Reply: [What if he's just spreading rumors to support anti-government sentiment?]

[682L: This is outrageous. Everyone I know in the industry is completely baffled and has no idea what's going on.]

[683L: Am I about to witness the biggest power struggle in ZPL history?!]

……

[1432L: Oh my god, stop chatting, Soul liked that post!]

--Reply:【?】

—Reply: [Soul has entered the fray? That seems to confirm it.]

—Reply: [This can't be right, can something this fantastical really be true?]

……

Soul's like disrupted many people's plans. The RXG PR department, which was used to all kinds of rumors, was calmly drafting a statement when they suddenly saw the news of Soul's like, which startled the PR manager so much that he almost fell off his chair.

He was extremely distressed and immediately called Soul to inquire about the situation, but the other party was always busy. He had no choice but to send several messages to bombard Soul with messages.

Unfortunately, Soul remained disconnected until it became a trending topic, dominating the top of social media platforms and becoming a hot topic in the global ZPL community.

He attributed his like to a slip of the hand:

[@RXG-Soul: I'm very sorry that my accidental like caused such a big misunderstanding. I'm not at liberty to disclose any of the information you've inquired about.]

This statement, seemingly a clarification, is actually still fanning the flames, and the information subtly revealed in the words only amplifies the conspiracy theories.

Some believe that Soul was silenced by the club to prevent them from revealing the true internal situation, which indirectly confirms the authenticity of the leak.

Some people even went so far as to think that the real situation might be even worse than what was reported.

River fans, who initially dismissed the related revelations as rumors and jokes, couldn't help but panic after seeing Soul's series of actions.

They all flocked to River's personal account to ask:

[R God...say something, this can't be real...]

I don't believe what they say, I only believe what you say.

No matter what, I feel sorry for you...

[What exactly does Soul mean? The Entertainment Express's report is clearly fake, so why is Soul giving it a thumbs up?]

The unrest within the fandom was palpable, prompting "Jiang Tanyue," a well-known River fan, to step in and post a message to calm things down:

[@Jiangtanyue: I've been contacting the operations team ever since I saw that leak, hoping to get a response, but so far there's been no reply. Everyone, please be patient; the truth is still unknown. Stay calm, fans.]

Unfortunately, as the matter spread wider and wider, the restless public sentiment became increasingly uncontrollable.

The situation escalated three hours after the revelation was made.

Inside the RXG club's office building, someone hurriedly pushed open the door: "Something's happened! Fans have come to protest outside in a truck with banners."

"What?"

The club's public relations manager suddenly stood up, pacing back and forth in a panic, touching his balding head, feeling that one day he would lose all his hair.

What are the fans' demands?

"They demanded a response to verify the authenticity of the allegations and that we release River himself to reassure everyone that he is safe." The speaker emphasized the word "himself."

The public relations manager covered his face: "What did Manager Lin say? Have they contacted River yet?"

No reply yet.
