It's Too Hard For Me to Keep My Identity a Secret [Esports]

Q: Are female players naturally inferior to male players?Gu Yuehshuang: Thanks for the invitation, as a female professional player, I'll speak from experience. I haven't yet found a male pl...

After Chapter 31

Before the first match of POG after the Spring Festival holiday, Fang Butao uploaded a vlog. The content was very short, only half a minute.

Lin Yanqiu secretly took a bag of konjac and was about to put it in his pocket, but was discovered by Gu Yueshuang, who forcibly confiscated it and pointed at him, "Don't try to steal it!"

Lin Yanqiu was coveting the spicy beef in Xu Qing's takeout, but just as he stretched out his chopsticks, he was punished by Gu Yueshuang.

Even when Lin Yanqiu wanted to drink coffee, Gu Yueshuang glared at him and made him put it down awkwardly.

Netizens were shocked that Lin Yanqiu was so obedient.

How could Xiaolin be so completely controlled by Shuang? Did he become intimidated by just one look?

[Xiao Lin, stand up! You are the captain!]

[Brothers, have you noticed the problem? Xiaolin is "Xiao", but Shuang Ge is "Gong"...]

Why can't I eat or drink? Even coffee isn't allowed?

[To reply to the previous post, Xiaolin has been in poor health for a while, perhaps due to dietary restrictions. When he was on other teams, he often missed the court due to poor health. It's ridiculous that POG didn't find a substitute for him.]

【Ask your team members when they will go live? !】

Because Lin Yanqiu and Qin Ye had used up their live broadcast time in advance, the top and support players were broadcasting at home, and Gu Yueshuang was underage and did not need to broadcast live, resulting in fans not seeing POG's mid, bottom and jungle players for more than half a month.

After finally waiting for the top and support players to return to the base, POG resumed the intense training matches and pre-match preparations.

There is still no one in the live broadcast room.

No one expected that the relationship within the team would change so drastically after just one month of absence.

[Just a month ago, Xiaolin was still the cool and steady team leader. Why is he acting like a henpecked husband now?]

[Upstairs! You found the highlight! ]

When Lin Yanqiu saw this comment, he liked it in his heart, but he still reported it.

Gu Yueshuang wondered: "Why are you smiling at your phone?"

Lin Yanqiu returned to the rest of the more normal comments and showed them to her, saying, "Look, everyone's speaking up for me."

Gu Yueshuang rolled her eyes at him: "Heh."

Noobs don’t deserve spicy food!

She took out a brown rice roll from her pocket and placed it in Lin Yanqiu's hand: "Here, you can only eat this."

What Fang Butao didn't reveal was that after Gu Yueshuang came back from the New Year, she paid special attention to Lin Yanqiu's diet and prepared some snacks that Lin Yanqiu could eat. Every time Lin Yanqiu was envious of the food he couldn't eat, Gu Yueshuang would stuff something else into his hands.

Qin Ye is not a talkative person. Gu Yueshuang and Lin Yanqiu deliberately kept it a secret, so no one knew that they had eaten hot pot, let alone that Lin Yanqiu was admitted to the hospital because of gastroenteritis.

No one quite understood why the way the two Cs got along suddenly changed. They just thought that it was because Lin Yanqiu gave her a red envelope during the Chinese New Year and that she was the lucky one, which led to their friendship.

Today we played against a mid-tier team that is always one or two points away from making the playoffs every year.

Xu Qing even felt a little inflated: "Fight well today and leave work early!"

Gu Yueshuang didn't show any emotion and responded calmly: "As long as you don't send me off."

Many teams will be in poor condition after returning from the long Spring Festival holiday, but half of POG's players almost spent the New Year at the base, and ended their vacation early. After returning to the base, they participated in various trainings, and their touch and coordination were not affected.

But there is also a drawback. The five of them seemed to be too excited, just like playing ranked games. As long as the opponent showed any sign of wanting to fight, they would immediately join the team, no matter how many people were fighting.

Xu Qing's performance as a support was particularly outrageous. There was even one scrimmaging where he single-handedly used his Minotaur to knock four people into the ground, shouting, "Brothers, is my teamfighting skills amazing? If this happened in the regular season, it would go down in history!"

But when he looked back, he found that his brothers were gone. He was the only one standing in front of four enemies with red health bars. The brave man who started the team fight turned into a lost lamb, weak, pitiful and helpless.

Several people were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Zhou Yao commented: "Actually, our supports and mid laners are the same type of people."

Gu Yueshuang, who was suddenly caught in the crossfire, asked: "?"

Lin Yanqiu nodded. "The similarity is that they both think they can beat five at once. The difference is that one can actually beat five at once, while the other thinks he's invincible even when being beaten five to one."

Xu Qing was extremely shocked. "We were both in the bottom lane, and why were you defending the mid laner? You seem to have changed after the New Year—is it because I didn't become your lucky star?"

Gu Yueshuang: "No? Whose dog?"

Xu Qing was puzzled: "Is this the point?"

Lin Yanqiu gently pulled the corner of Gu Yueshuang's team uniform: "Forget it, there is no substitute for the support."

Xu Qing: “?”

Jokes aside, when it comes to the official game, the bottom lane must be helped when necessary, and the support must roam the middle lane when necessary.

POG played their first game after the spring very actively. The five players seemed to be playing a ranked match. They had a late-game lineup, but they started fighting from the start.

Generally speaking, when starting with a late-game lineup, you will choose to avoid fighting, develop safely until your equipment is complete, and then end the game in one wave.

Commentator A couldn't help but ask, "When you watch POG play, does it look like a ranked match in the Canyon of Heroes?"

Commentator B thought about it and realized it was true: "Level 6 is considered the late stage in the Canyon of Heroes. Because you have the ultimate skill, you can fight to your heart's content - no more reports of people not joining the group."

Commentator A wondered, "Have they still not recovered from their Lunar New Year ranked state?"

Commentator B took the opportunity to advertise the Chinese server: "Everyone loves to play the Canyon of Heroes, everyone deserves it! You can even run into your favorite pro players here!"

If you pay attention to POG's ranking situation, you will find that they actually did not play in the Canyon of Heroes during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Yueshuang and Lin Yanqiu are still carrying out their special training. During this period, they only practice one hero, trying various rune talents and equipment until they have mastered them thoroughly, and then start the next round of training.

The fastest way to understand a hero is to fight him.

The normal way is to find a wooden stake to practice in the training mode, and the extreme way is to practice directly in the qualifying match and grow by being beaten.

It’s not so much that they haven’t been able to get out of the ranking state, but rather that they haven’t been able to get out of the training state. POG still wants to fight anyone they see - even if I can’t kill you in one wave, I will still beat you back.

But as long as they show any intention of retreating when facing POG, they will pursue them relentlessly, as if to fight to the death.

The opponent's state of adjustment was not particularly good, and he was stunned by POG's ferocious posture.

Generally speaking, for the sake of safety in the competition, people will not take risks that are high-risk and have low returns, but will use flash instead of killing and stop when the time is right.

But POG seemed to be particularly adventurous today.

What's more, not every adventure of POG is successful.

Everyone can't help but ask, what makes you think you can do that?

Amidst these doubts, the audience watched helplessly as POG won the game with a score of 2:0, and everyone was even a little confused.

How did you win?

When watching the exciting replays, everyone was surprised to find that almost every wave of team battles was not fought on POG's side.

Either in the opposite jungle or under the opposite tower.

"Qin Ye, don't you have your own jungle?!"

Amidst the half-joking, half-hearted shouting, someone posted the conclusions of the two games' review:

Qin Ye does not have his own jungle area.

Except for the first round of jungle that he cleared in order, the remaining jungle resources were divided up by his teammates, so he could only go to the opposite jungle to find food.

If you can't find food, you can only kill people and collect the bounty.

[I was wondering how POG was so far ahead of the opponent in terms of CS, and then I realized that after finishing the minions in the lane, they would go to kill the wild monsters... After killing them, wouldn't they just put pressure on the opponent after returning to the lane?]

[To be honest, we were really suppressing the opponent in the laning phase. It was because we were ahead in all three lanes that we were able to counter-jungle in the opponent's jungle.]

Your jungle is my home, my jungle... Oh, I don't have a jungle, that's my teammates' jungle, they didn't even leave me a small rock.

[POG's two games were incredibly exciting! If I play it safe, I might be able to win quickly.]

It feels like these guys are more relaxed now. They were a bit timid before, but now... they're incredibly brave. POG, don't you have a transition period?

[To be honest, if you look at the draft and average stats, you can tell this is a very wild team. They seemed timid only because their previous infernal draft really couldn't sustain a teamfight. Now that the draft is normal, hasn't it returned to normal?]

Fang Butao burst into tears of joy as he read the comments: "We're finally not a team focused on individual heroism! And now our drafts will be praised too!"

Gu Yueshuang waved her hand: "Don't look at the comments after the win, they are all brainless praise; don't look at the comments after the loss, they are all extreme trolls."

Fang Butao was a little stunned: "Why don't you just let me not watch it? If I don't watch it when I win or lose, then when will I watch it?"

Lin Yanqiu: "That's what he meant."

Gu Yueshuang smiled and nodded, stuffed a piece of chocolate into Lin Yanqiu's hand, and said, "Reward."

Xu Qing was puzzled: "Didn't you go to the forum to lead the trend before?"

Gu Yueshuang: "Isn't it because everyone's expectations of me are too high, so I'm helping them lower their expectations in advance?"

Now the public opinion environment is so bad that she doesn't need to lead the pace herself.

Gu Yueshuang didn’t know whether this was a good thing or not, but since she had no expectations, she felt no burden and could fight more freely.

Gu Yueshuang pondered for a moment, then came up with a twisted theory and said, "I've discovered that when everyone expects me to be beaten up, I actually show off."

As she spoke, she pulled out her phone. "I really have to set my own pace and make them expect me to get beaten up in the next game."

Everyone: “…”

Lin Yanqiu took her phone away and said, "You won because you played well. It has nothing to do with them."

Gu Yueshuang snatched back the phone: "We also need to believe in metaphysics at the right time."

Lin Yanqiu said helplessly, "Then when you go back to RANK and queue up, use your computer to slowly write your essay. Typing on your phone is tiring."

Gu Yueshuang thought it made sense. After all, there was usually nothing to do while waiting in line.

She put away her phone and asked, "Who's being interviewed today?"

Fang Butao glanced at the schedule and said, "It's your turn to take Qin Ye with you today."

Gu Yueshuang glanced at Qin Ye, who had remained silent until now, and turned to face the wall. "I choose to go on strike."

Lin Yanqiu took out his essential items like a treasure trove. "I have quick-acting heart pills, cooling oil, wind oil essence, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and mint candy. Which one do you want to choose?"

Gu Yueshuang: "Choose you."

"?"

Lin Yanqiu's heart skipped a beat.

Gu Yueshuang explained calmly, "You go up and accept the interview for me. Stand up, Captain."
