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...

Chapter 10 Trading

POG lost the first game, which is actually a very normal thing in e-sports events. No one will always win, and no one will always lose.

Everyone understands the principle and their mentality is very stable.

But this group of people still reviewed the game passionately until dawn.

Although Gu Yang was a little unreliable on the court, he had sufficient theoretical knowledge and experience in data analysis, so he had no problem acting as a post-match Zhuge Liang.

Gu Yang looked out the window at the gradually brightening sky, yawned, rubbed his waist, and said, "I didn't expect that on the first day of the official competition, I would have to accompany you to adapt to the underworld. An elderly person can't bear it..."

Gu Yueshuang said wittily, "That can't be helped. This is the first time I've lost since I started playing in the LPL. My mentality is broken and I need to adapt."

Xu Qing was stunned for two or three seconds before she realized that she had won this fight. She cursed, "Get out of here! You talk as if you've won before!"

Gu Yueshuang touched her chin and muttered, "I feel like Annie is playable, but her basic attacks feel a bit off. She should be okay after some practice. With the Hikos belt, her output will be enough, plus..."

I've even started thinking about equipment and rune talents.

Gu Yang: "No, no, I made a mistake this time, really, there won't be a next time, please."

Lin Yanqiu: "Let's solve the problem of chairs and cold first."

Gu Yueshuang herself had forgotten about this matter, but she didn't expect Lin Yanqiu to still remember it.

She felt that as a woman, this kind of thing was nothing. She was completely focused on the game and didn't feel cold at all.

Gu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's find Xiao Tao when it's daybreak and get five gaming chairs for you."

The current chairs in the base are ergonomic chairs that Gu Yang stole from his wife's company warehouse. In fact, they are more expensive than gaming chairs and more suitable for long-term sitting.

But there is no way, this is the gaming chair used during competitions.

Xu Qing pounded his waist with his chubby hands. "Don't tell me, our chairs are really more comfortable than gaming chairs. Gaming chairs are hot in the summer and cold in the winter. There's no waist support, and there's a pillow against your head. It's simply..."

Gu Yueshuang couldn't help but lament, "How on earth is it that gaming chairs are neither warm nor breathable?"

Lin Yanqiu offered a compromise: "How about this: use the gaming chair during live broadcasts and practice matches, which gives it a sense of ritual. Normally, when no one's watching, you can use whatever you want."

These sedentary professional players, although young, have many problems.

For example, Xu Qing has to stand up and beat his waist after playing two sets. Zhou Yao has tenosynovitis, but he cannot stop training, so he can only rely on acupuncture to relieve the pain.

Zhou Yao stretched lazily. "Originally, it was said that only Qin Ye would stay up, but it turned out that our entire team stayed up together."

Gu Yang raised his hand to check the time. There were still ten minutes until seven o'clock. He said slowly, "You don't deserve a day off if you lose the game. Training will start promptly at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Remember to arrive ten minutes early to warm up your hands and turn on your computer. Excluding time for eating and washing up, you can still sleep for five and a half hours."

Everyone: “…”

Several people ran away immediately.

Gu Yang shouted, "Remember to wash up! Don't go to bed smelling so bad!"

In the blink of an eye, the building was empty. Gu Yang shook his head and laughed helplessly: "These kids are really..."

At 1:30 the next day, a group of people sat neatly in their seats, and some had even started ranking in advance.

We played so badly in the first game that we couldn’t even arrange a training match, so we had to play RANK on our own.

Gu Yueshuang got up late and missed lunch, so she had just taken Shuke for a walk and now had an unfinished hamburger in her mouth.

Xu Qing sighed: "You missed a super delicious lunch, did you know that?"

Gu Yueshuang turned on the training mode and ignored his words.

For e-sports players, the only thing guaranteed in a day is dinner.

Because the game is at night, they need to develop a biological clock that is most alert at this time.

Gu Yang was puzzled: "Why are you opening the practice mode? Go play RANK. The rhythm of the Korean server can be used as half a training match."

Gu Yueshuang adjusted the time and practiced on the wooden stake: "I really think Annie can use it, let me try."

Gu Yang's face darkened and he knocked her head. "Don't be so willful. I know you don't want to admit defeat, but you should practice the heroes of this version first. Annie can't be used for the time being. When you can perform well, I won't say anything when you practice your lineup in the playoffs."

Xu Qing was surprised: "Playoffs training? That's so extravagant?"

Zhou Yao: "First of all——"

Got to make the playoffs.

Gu Yueshuang was not persistent: "Okay, give me three minutes to try out the skills, and then start practicing the version heroes immediately."

Gu Yang knew that she was stubborn, so he didn't stop her.

She always keeps her word. Since she promised, she will really practice the heroes of this version.

But Gu Yang had a vague feeling that one day in the future, Gu Yueshuang would pull out Annie's skills to shock everyone and catch others off guard.

Lin Yanqiu said: "Brother Tao ordered a thermal vest, which can be worn under the team uniform, but if the venue is heated very well, it might feel hot."

Gu Yueshuang smiled: "Then I can only quietly go to the bathroom to take off my clothes."

Zhou Yao was puzzled: "Our team is full of men, why do we have to go to the bathroom to take off our clothes? We can just take them off in the lounge, no one will see us."

Gu Yueshuang thought to herself, I’m going to the bathroom to change clothes just to protect you!

You bunch of otakus don't have good figures at all, so don't try to seduce me with your sexuality.

Although I think so, I certainly can't say it so bluntly.

Gu Yueshuang smiled and said, "There are quite a few cameras in the lounge. If you don't mind being fined for being disheveled, then I don't mind either."

Zhou Yao: "...I was wrong."

If it were just their own people, it would be fine to change clothes on the spot to block the cameras, but there are many official cameras in the locker room, and the positions of the cameras in each home stadium are different, so it is indeed more convenient to change clothes in the bathroom.

Zhou Yao scratched his head. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Gu Yueshuang disliked him.

Fang Butao sighed, "I'm the one who's really miserable. I was taking photos and recording videos at the same time, but in the end, I couldn't use any of them after losing the game. It's heartbreaking."

Gu Yueshuang: "Keep it and use it for a documentary later."

Fang Butao curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Why make a documentary if no one will watch it?"

Gu Yueshuang was certain: "There will be many, many people watching it in the future."

Xu Qing asked, "Have you negotiated the live broadcast contract? Our mid-lane is definitely going to be very popular right now, and everyone is criticizing her. I guess there are too many comments to read."

Gu Yueshuang: "Why are you scolding me?"

Xu Qing was puzzled: "Don't you live on the forum? Isn't there anyone moving it?"

Zhou Yao: "I thought you were upset by practicing Annie, but it turns out you didn't see it at all?"

This group of people didn't tell her directly what was going on, and Gu Yueshuang felt confused.

She silently tried out Annie's skills at different levels, the damage value and feel of her basic attack, and had an idea of ​​Annie in her mind. She left the training room and started queuing for RANK.

At the same time, Lin Yanqiu handed her his phone: "That's it, Yang Chi posted a Weibo yesterday that implied you."

In one sentence, "LPL does not welcome vases. Those with glass hearts should go home and find their mothers. I remember the time a certain mid laner scolded me."

When Yang Chi was mentioned, Xu Qing looked disdainful: "Tsk, you say you dislike fan circle behavior, but in fact you don't even take advantage of the fan circle bonus. You only dare to make implicit comments, which attracted a group of fans to blast you. You don't have a Weibo account, so they all flocked to the official account."

Currently, the official Weibo is managed by Fang Butao alone. If he loses a game, he can only pretend to be dead. After all, being bad at e-sports is the original sin.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Tao." Gu Yueshuang took advantage of the waiting time to register for Weibo. "Just tag me on the official Weibo account and let them come after me."

Her first Weibo post was a period, without a single word.

Fang Butao was silent for a while, then said, "You don't have to be so responsible..."

He has seen people seeking praise, but he has never seen anyone seeking criticism.

Moreover, the official Weibo of the e-sports team is meant to share the firepower with the players, so it would not do anything to divert trouble.

Gu Yueshuang: "It's okay. They were just scolding me anyway. If you don't want to post on Weibo, just follow my account. Someone will come to you."

Gu Yueshuang thought they were afraid that she would lose her temper and couldn't help but retort, so she assured them, "Don't worry, I won't reply to their content..."

She thought for a long time but couldn't come up with the right words. Suddenly, the word "sense of ceremony" came to her mind, so she said, "I just want to have a sense of ceremony. From now on, I will put a period after each game. After all the games in the season are over, I can look back and review my reputation at that time."

Xu Qing looked at Double C in confusion: "What's with this weird sense of ritual you guys have?"

Gu Yueshuang tried to add: "Besides, I'm a very stingy person, you can rest assured that I won't be fined."

Fang Butao hesitated for a long time, but finally compromised, clicked "Follow", and said, "I'll help you verify it."

Taking into account the "sense of ceremony" of these children, he solemnly posted a welcome message on the official Weibo and wrote a short essay to praise Gu Yueshuang.

Gu Yueshuang is very brave, and he can't give in for her.

Lin Yanqiu also clicked the "follow" button and said, "Just read the content on Weibo, don't take it to heart... Forget it, don't even read it."

"Thank you." Gu Yueshuang smiled and clicked on the official blog's follow list to follow each one.

POG’s official Weibo account is newly applied for and has very few fans, but the latest Weibo post has thousands of comments. It goes without saying that they are all scolding her.

After following her teammates, she threw her phone aside and said, "I haven't been reading the forum much these days. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

We have already criticized and reviewed the last game, and it is time to move on to the next stage.

Most of her phone's memory is filled with videos of her next opponent's games.

Xu Qing had just lost a ranked match and lost over ten points. He was just about to ask Gu Yueshuang to join him in a duo queue, but he discovered that Gu Yueshuang's team had already entered the draft and ban phase. He was heartbroken and wailed, "You said you would help me duo queue and rank up! Why are you playing solo?!"

Gu Yueshuang didn't even raise her head: "Next time for sure."

Xu Qing grabbed his phone and said, "I'm going to post on Weibo to denounce you for not keeping your word."

He openly criticized her but secretly praised her, but in fact he still wanted to help Gu Yueshuang share some of the heat on Weibo and help her change her image.

They're a bunch of weird kids.

Fang Butao came over with a draft of the contract and said, "Only four of you on our team can sign a live broadcast contract. The mid-laner is not qualified to broadcast until he reaches adulthood."

Gu Yueshuang: "..."

She deeply felt the importance of age in this world, as if someone had planned for everyone what to do at what age.

She has been stuck in age countless times.

For example, children must go to kindergarten every day before the age of 6; they should receive compulsory education step by step before the age of 15; if they want to work under the age of 16, they must have a parental signature, otherwise they will be considered child laborers; those under the age of 17 cannot participate in the LPL professional league; those under the age of 18 cannot broadcast live.

In her previous world, there were no age restrictions, and only the capable would get the job.

Gu Yueshuang: "I feel like I'm being restricted by age every year... Will there still be an age limit after adulthood?"

Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "It should be marriage. You can only get married at the age of 22."

Zhou Yao: "As for retirement, if you work normally, you can only retire at 60, but it has nothing to do with us. After all, we don't receive a pension."

Fang Butao complained: "Marriage has nothing to do with you singles. Let me explain the contract to you."

Zhou Yao: "Why would a bunch of single people dislike each other?"

Lin Yanqiu: "The coach's children can now play games with us."

Zhou Yao glanced at Gu Yueshuang and shut up.

More than just playing games together, this guy is obviously more talented than him.

Xu Qing said with a wicked smile, "Although you can't get married, you can date. If you see a pretty girl, remember to be brave and approach her. If you're close enough, you'll be of marriageable age. If everything goes well, your children can even attend your retirement ceremony."

Fang Butao knocked him: "Don't teach minors bad things."

Xu Qing was dissatisfied: "How can this be considered bad teaching?"

Fang Butao ignored him and said, "Different results mean different contracts. My suggestion is to wait until we win a few more games before starting the live broadcast. It would be best if we pull off an upset victory against a team that outsiders think we can't beat."

Gu Yueshuang: "Pig Man."

"who?"

Lin Yanqiu: "GGB?"

Xu Qing: "Are you crazy?"

Gu Yang didn't even need to look at the schedule, he just said, "We have to play them in two weeks, no matter how crazy we are."

Gu Yueshuang: "Honestly, they are easy to beat. Just hold them down and fight them in the wild."

She had observed that this team, whether it was to highlight the jungler or if that was really their only goal, was to unconditionally support the jungler in all three lanes, and any kills they could get were basically given to the jungler - that is, their team's most popular star player, Lu Cheng.

Xu Qing trembled in fear. "But we have to be able to control it... Everyone knows they're the main jungler, and they all want to target them, but how can we do that? Lu Cheng is a monster. He'll be on the rise the moment we're not paying attention."

Gu Yueshuang: "We can."

Lin Yanqiu seemed to understand her thoughts and asked Qin Ye: "Brother Ye, do you think it's okay?"

Qin Ye: "I can do it."

Xu Qing: "...Are you all crazy?"

Gu Yueshuang stared at the computer intently: "Wait a moment while I finish this game. Old Gu, go prepare the information. Have you prepared it?"

Gu Yang smiled slightly: "I've been preparing for a long time."

"It's crazy, everyone is crazy." Xu Qing simply quit the queue and turned into training mode, ready to be on call for the meeting later.

He shouted to Zhou Yao through the three lunatics: "Zhou Yao, are you crazy?"

Zhou Yao also shouted: "I'm almost there too."

After shouting, he rubbed his hands, his eyes shining: "I even think I can beat Yang Chi violently."

Yang Chi was a top laner in the top three teams last season. In terms of results, Zhou Yao had never beaten him before.

But he somehow felt that he would win next time.

Gu Yueshuang: "You can, if you can't, I will go to the road to help you."

Xu Qing was surprised: "You are not on the line anymore?"

Gu Yueshuang offered: "One artillery soldier."

Zhou Yao: "Deal."

Xu Qing: “…”

Lin Yanqiu hugged his beloved cannon cart tightly and said, "Don't come to the bottom lane anymore. The Cannon Cart Lovers Alliance strongly condemns you."

These two people actually traded artillery soldiers! It's absolutely insane!

Qin Ye seemed to have opened the door to a new way of communication and asked, "Come to the wild area for support?"

Gu Yueshuang: "A group of wild monsters, isn't that too much?"

Qin Ye: "Deal."

Xu Qing watched helplessly as the mid, top, and jungle formed an alliance, feeling marginalized, and asked, "What about the bottom lane?"

Gu Yueshuang: "You AD don't welcome me."

Xu Qing hit Lin Yanqiu in frustration, "With just one cannon soldier, we can enjoy a four-on-two situation in the bottom lane! Why are you so disappointing?"

Because of this, Lin Yanqiu's hand trembled and he missed the artillery carriage. He looked murderous in his eyes: "Do you know how big the impact of an artillery is? It can determine a person's life or death, such as you——"

Xu Qing ran away: "Coach, let me help you!"

Lin Yanqiu continued to RANK angrily, thinking that this group of people didn't understand the importance of the cannon cart to AD at all.

Fang Butao hadn't finished talking about the live broadcast contract yet, so he had to give up for now and wait for the meeting to discuss it together. He asked, "Shouldn't we take it one step at a time and study our current opponent first?"

Gu Yueshuang: "Focus on key research targets."

Lin Yanqiu rarely agreed with her: "Besides, we are still in the running-in period. The feeling during the game and the review after the game are completely different."

Zhou Yao: "Actually, I think the coach should have prepared some research materials. Let's take a look at them together later. It's good to prepare in advance."

Gu Yueshuang suddenly stopped operating. Lin Yanqiu suddenly couldn't hear the sound of the mouse and keyboard. He was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yueshuang smiled and asked, "Will I be reported for cursing in Korean?"

Most likely, you encountered a bad teammate.

Fang Butao: "I advise you not to. You are in the spotlight right now, it's not appropriate."

Zhou Yao wondered, "What happened? Why did our Brother Shuang get so angry?"

Gu Yueshuang switched to the Korean input method and said as she typed, "This top laner is really bad and doesn't even realize it. He curses at his mother all the time. I have to praise his great mother."

Fang Butao subconsciously felt that she was speaking sarcastically and said, "No, calm down. Cursing in foreign languages ​​will also be translated into Chinese."

Gu Yueshuang: "I really want to praise her. What a great and selfless mother she must be to raise such a child to this age. It is truly moving and touching. Anyone who hears it will be heartbroken and cry."

Everyone: “…”

Qin Ye, who never joined in the fun, couldn't help but come over to see who had made their mid laner so angry.

Qin Ye frowned as he looked at the top laner's ID: "Isn't this Yang Chi's smurf?"

Gu Yueshuang: "Hiss, what has this guy learned..."

He even cursed in Korean, maybe he thought she couldn't understand?

Gu Yueshuang thought about it and translated the sentence into Chinese, Korean and English. Of course, Chinese is not allowed in Korean servers, so she used pinyin.

Lin Yanqiu: "What are you doing..."

Gu Yueshuang felt aggrieved: "I didn't scold him before, and I will feel guilty if I don't prove this crime."

Lin Yanqiu took a photo of their chat with his phone, confirming that Gu Yueshuang hadn't said anything excessive. He then asked Qin Ye, "Do you have evidence to prove that this was Yang Chi's fake account? Submit it to the authorities to collect the fine."

Qin Ye thought for a long time and shook his head: "No."

Lin Yanqiu sighed regretfully: "What a pity, the only option left is to block his account."

After finishing a game, Zhou Yao searched various forums for the missing person. After about five minutes, he asked, "Can the youth training manager's complaints about him be used as evidence? This guy was duo-queuing with a girl on his smurf account, leading the manager to mistakenly believe he was a promising prospect. But when he asked, he found out it was Yang Chi."

Lin Yanqiu: "Let's try it."

Zhou Yao couldn't help but shake his head: "The mid laner is useless. I don't know what he's doing on the forums all day. He can't even handle such a small matter."

Qin Ye: "Going to the forum only makes you get scolded, not helped."

Lin Yanqiu laughed: "It can't be helped. Our mid laner is still underage. Kids are like this."

Gu Yueshuang: "..."

Gu Yueshuang rolled up her sleeves and said, "This keyboard warrior wants to fight you for three hundred rounds!"

Zhou Yao: "Oh, you're still a keyboard warrior, you only know how to bully others at home."

Lin Yanqiu: "Children are like this, so give in to her."

Gu Yueshuang was mad. You are the children! Your whole family is children!

You clearly helped her but still insisted on verbally bullying her. How childish!
