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 the game, the five POG members walked to the center of the stage, bowed to the audience, and then shook hands with their opponents.
Seeing that they all looked so sad, the five people from POG didn't dare to be too happy.
When Gu Yueshuang got the mid laner, she said in a neither-too-soft voice, "Keep going! We got through spring like this too."
The mid laner was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, Gu Yueshuang had already gone to shake hands with the next person.
POG won this game and temporarily topped the regular season standings.
Today's two games were like a match between man and machine. POG was a bit too strong, and many people began to raise their expectations for POG.
Is POG on the rise? This game was like a slam dunk.
"Show your level sooner rather than later. Why would you let that disgraceful GGB play MSI? They lost in the group stage, and their subsequent performance was also disgraceful. They're good at domestic games, but not at international ones."
[Don't be so mean, POG's spring playoff AD was hospitalized due to illness, but they have a support now, so I don't know how good that support is.]
[Crispy AD carry, take care of yourself! I think this level of skill will definitely win the Summer Championship! !]
[Both the mid and top players are in their first year playing in the LPL! The future is promising!]
There are also many dissenting voices——
[I advise everyone not to expect too much from POG. This team will falter the moment you start to have expectations for it.]
[Can even POG brag about it now? It seems there's no hope for the LPL to win the championship again this year.]
[They're just a bunch of old, weak, and disabled people. They picked up a decent newcomer and started marketing like crazy. Why don't they show some results before marketing again?]
The POG players knew nothing about these rumors. At this moment, it was the winner's post-match fan interaction time.
The five POG members stood on the stage, watching a fan carrying bags of snacks struggling to move onto the stage.
Gu Yueshuang picked up the phone and asked, "Do you need help?"
A fan asked: "Is that Brother Shuang? These are all for you!"
"Ah? Thank you..." Gu Yueshuang was a little confused. She stuffed the microphone into Lin Yanqiu's hand, then strode up to help carry things.
Then he shouted with full energy: "Fang Butao, are you there——"
When you are in doubt, look for Brother Tao.
Fang Butao in the backstage: "..."
Fang Butao also ran up to the stage and explained, "For the safety of the contestants, we accept gifts in the following ways..."
The fan nodded repeatedly. "I understand, I understand. These are things I bought at the flagship store. They're still sealed. You can check them. I can also provide receipts and purchase records if needed. Remember to check them carefully when you take them down. No matter who sends them to my son, you have to check them carefully. Do you understand?"
Fang Butao: “…”
Gu Yueshuang's father in the audience: "..."
Gu Yueshuang didn't know whether to call this fan "uncle" or "brother" for a moment. After a while of hesitation, she decided to omit the name: "Don't buy anything for me. I eat well. You guys should eat more and be nice to yourselves."
The fan handed everything in his hand to Fang Butao, waved his hand, and said proudly: "Well, your father has money for food and drink. With your small body, you need to eat more to grow taller. I also bought two boxes of fresh milk and sent them to the base. Remember to drink it every day."
Gu Yueshuang was speechless for a moment.
I had so much to say in rebuttal that I didn't know where to start. I looked at the camera and the audience, and in order to protect my image and avoid paying the fine, I finally chose to shut up.
Father’s love is like a mountain, suffocating.
The host, Xiao Feng, smiled and teased, "Does Frost have anything to say?"
Gu Yueshuang: "I do have a father—he's sitting backstage!"
Someone in the audience immediately shouted, "Son!"
Gu Yueshuang: "Don't shout!"
But her rebuttal was weak, and soon there was a burst of "Son!" from the audience.
Gu Yueshuang: “…”
Falling into autism.
Lin Yanqiu hid the slightly raised corner of his mouth and stepped forward to save the situation: "Everyone, please stop bullying our mid laner. We don't have a substitute, and he's very valuable."
There was laughter from the audience, and the incident was finally put to rest.
Before leaving the stage, the fan who gave the gift reminded Gu Yueshuang: "Eat and drink well, do your best in the competition, and the dads will always love you."
Gu Yueshuang: "...Thank you?"
Lu Minghao scratched his head and asked softly, "Will I be like this in the future?"
Xu Qing answered immediately: "No, you look more mature than your age."
Lu Minghao: “???”
Who isn't a child anymore?
Finally making it off the stage, Gu Yueshuang breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to shout, "Actually, I am your ancestor!", but when she saw the staff members looking at her with smiles, she forced herself to hold back the words.
Salary is important, salary is important.
Gu Yueshuang silently comforted herself in her heart.
He seemed to be comforting himself, but in reality he was getting angrier the more he thought about it.
Gu Yueshuang stood there for two seconds, then rushed into the lounge with a heroic and confident look.
Lin Yanqiu looked at her back and couldn't help laughing.
Xu Qing looked worried: "Is this child crazy?"
Gu Yueshuang rushed into the lounge and looked for Fang Butao: "Where's my phone?"
Fang Butao thought she wanted to post a Weibo post to thank her fans, so he handed her his phone and muttered, "It's not just the one who went on stage. Your fans really sent you a lot of food today. They said they were worried it was too heavy for us to take away. They even sent milk to the base. And... what are you doing?"
Fang Butao looked at Gu Yueshuang in shock as she typed in the Weibo post:
"I am your ancestor!"
His hand speed was so fast that Fang Butao's mind was already racing with ideas about how to do public relations.
Gu Yueshuang finally let her reason overcome her emotions. She silently deleted these words and retyped them: "I don't admit it."
Click Send.
Fang Butao also breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at Gu Yang: "Actually, your father is quite happy."
Gu Yang smiled foolishly: "How popular the child I raised is."
Fang Butao took her phone just in case and said, "Get ready for the post-match group interview."
He kept muttering, "Your fans heard from Xu Qing's livestream that you eat a lot, so they bought you boxes of food..."
Gu Yueshuang held her forehead with her hand: "Take it back and share it with everyone. I can't eat so much by myself..."
A few people moved to the media room. As soon as they entered, a media staff member joked, "Our Shuangshuang has become the national son of the e-sports circle."
Gu Yueshuang: “?”
Lu Minghao spread his wings like a roc on the brink of death: "I am also a fan, so can I also be Shuang Ge's father?"
Gu Yang behind him pinched his neck: "Say it again?"
Lu Minghao: "...wrong, wrong."
The media personnel urged: "In the esports world, strength speaks for itself. Let's play a father-son game and see what happens?"
Lin Yanqiu smiled and sat down: "Stop bullying the kids in our team. What if they get scared away?"
Gu Yueshuang threatened: "From now on, I will practice non-violent non-cooperation when asking questions."
The reporters burst into laughter, but no one mentioned the joke again.
Gu Yueshuang's cell phone was confiscated and she was so bored that she started playing with the microphone.
The reporter quickly reminded him, "Brother Shuang, stop it! You already ruined both of our microphones during the previous interview!"
Gu Yueshuang was stunned and looked at the microphone in her hand, then looked at the reporter who was speaking, and asked doubtfully: "This kind of microphone should not be broken, right?"
Fang Butao: "You'd better let it go. What if he asks you to compensate for those two little bees?"
Gu Yueshuang put down the phone silently. She was poor and couldn't afford to pay.
Finally, everyone was ready, and the reporters began asking questions. The first question was a bit pointed: "Coach, POG seems to have suddenly become more active this season? What's the reason?"
Zhou Yao, who was sitting on the side, felt a little embarrassed.
There are no changes to the team members except the top laner, but they are "suddenly" so powerful?
Gu Yang replied in a conventional tone, "It wasn't 'sudden', actually. The players have grown a lot after going through these setbacks, and that's all thanks to Zhou Yao, who has done so much for us behind the scenes. He's been excellent both on and off the court. Of course, everyone can also look forward to our backup AD carry, Yang Lin, who's also an exceptional player."
Treat everyone equally and leave no one behind.
After answering, he patted Zhou Yao's shoulder soothingly and whispered, "Relax, you'll have another chance to play once your back injury gets better."
Gu Yueshuang raised her hand and added, "It's really not sudden. We didn't have much time off during the off-season, and the players all consciously practiced extra training at the base. There's no such thing as sudden strength increase; it's all gained bit by bit through practice."
The reporters burst into laughter, and one said, "Others are marketing themselves as geniuses, why don't you just follow the routine?"
Fang Butao complained, "You want me to talk about it? How can you talk about your own efforts?"
Gu Yueshuang blinked blankly: "If I let you say that, won't it be misunderstood as exploiting the team members?"
Lin Yanqiu smiled and added a witty remark: "Thanks to the team for not charging me for the internet fee."
Gu Yang clapped his hands and said, "Oh, I lost money. Please also pay for the tables and chairs."
The atmosphere at the scene was very cheerful.
Another reporter asked: "To Frost, is your improvement this season due to hard practice?"
Gu Yueshuang said meaningfully, "Are you setting me up? I was also very strong last season, I just took a detour by accident."
Reporters asked some more questions related to today's game.
At the end, the reporter asked Gu Yueshuang again, asking something off topic: "I heard in Xu Qing's livestream that Frost eats a lot. Today, the fans prepared a lot of snacks for Frost. What do you think about this, Frost?"
Gu Yueshuang scratched her head: "Thank you fans, but it's really not necessary. I don't eat that much... Everyone, keep the money for yourself to eat, drink, play, and live your life well."
Xu Qing agreed, "And Xiaolin also buys her a lot of snacks—even though Shuang Ge eats a lot, we don't starve him!"
Gu Yueshuang: "...I already said I didn't eat much!"
Lu Minghao nodded repeatedly: "Brother Shuang's snacks are really piled up on his desk. No matter when you look at them, there are always snacks. So don't worry, Brother Shuang eats well. I'm still very curious why he doesn't gain weight..."
Gu Yueshuang: “…”
It’s over, it seems that the reputation cannot be saved.
Fang Butao explained, "Even though they're all fans of Frost, they said this was for everyone in the base, but they still hope Frost can eat more. They were really kind, even including Brother Hei and Chef Lin, and there was dog food and milk powder for the elderly."
Gu Yueshuang turned around immediately after hearing this: "Are you sure the elderly milk powder isn't for Old Gu?"
Gu Yang: “?”
Gu Yang took off his shoes on the spot: "I'll beat you to death!"
The post-match group interview ended in great joy. Gu Yueshuang took the lead in running out of the door, followed closely by Gu Yang's shoes.
After a while, Gu Yang jumped out on one foot to pick up his shoes, and then ran after Gu Yueshuang.
Then the team members all said——
"I'm a little worried about Brother Shuang."
"Is the coach okay? I'll go check it out."
After they left one after another, all that was left in the media room were the laughing reporters.
When all the players left, the reporters realized a serious problem:
"Hey? Don't run! There's still an interview!!"
As the reporters laughed, they found that they couldn't laugh anymore.
POG escaped again!
In the car, POG's father and daughter, who had just been chasing each other, now sat together in perfect harmony. One of them muttered, "Luckily I run fast, otherwise I'd have to work overtime again," while the other muttered, "Can't you just slow down and let your father go? Old people can't run anymore."
The team members got on the bus one after another, and Fang Butao had already moved the things in the lounge to the bus. After everyone was on the bus, they immediately set off back to the base.
——I am already very experienced in escaping.
Lu Minghao and Yang Lin were still very excited. It was the first time for them to run like this with POG.
Lu Minghao's eyes sparkled. "Is it like when we were skipping classes in a group? Or is it an organized and disciplined run?"
Yang Lin nodded vigorously three times, as if a soft nod was not enough to express his approval.
Gu Yueshuang glanced over and asked, "Are you guys still skipping school?"
Yang Lin was a little confused and asked cautiously, "Don't you skip school?"
After saying that, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, because the person driving the car was Shuang Ge's biological father.
Gu Yueshuang seemed completely unaware of this and said confidently, "Run away, but I know how to do it."
Everyone: “?”
Gu Yueshuang: "Do you think geniuses are only good in one area?"
Everyone: “…”
Gu Yang interrupted: "Don't give me that. Your teacher called me a lot. It's not enough that you skip classes, you even skip exams."
Gu Yueshuang argued, "The test papers were too easy, and the tests were so frequent. My high school entrance exam scores were not low, as you saw."
Several people were talking and making a lot of noise all the way, but they all quieted down the moment they got off the car back to the base - why were there so many boxes of things in the yard?
Fang Butao explained: "This is all the fatherly love from your Shuang Ge's fathers."
Gu Yueshuang: “???”
Fang Butao explained: "The fans said that we can share food and play games together, but we can't let it get us distracted. We must train well or the dads will come to the base to teach their son a lesson."
Gu Yang sighed, "Why didn't I help you debut earlier? It would be so much fun to raise a child for free."
Gu Yueshuang: “………………”
Fang Butao searched for a long time inside, then pointed at a box and said, "Shuangshuang, come here. These two boxes contain clothes and pants that your fans prepared for you. They think your usual clothes are too ugly, like a winter melon, and they want you to dress up better—those are your fans' exact words, not my own."
Gu Yueshuang: “…”
They know nothing!
Gu Yang and Fang Butao helped her move all these things into the house so that Gu Yueshuang could go in to rest or train.
Fang Butao gave her an extremely long list and said, "They're really rich... Didn't you play Tetris before? They saw you were still playing the free game, so they prepared a full set of cartridges for you. They collected everything they could find... I'll find it for you later."
Gu Yueshuang: “…”
Free games refer to free games for members on the Switch console.
She plays Tetris just because it's fun! It's not like she can't afford the cartridges!
Fang Butao said, "I'll put all the food on the first floor and bring all the things you need up to the top floor, is that okay?"
Yang Lin was curious: "So many boxes?"
Fang Butao explained: "They were afraid they had nowhere to put them, so they prepared storage boxes. So even though there are a lot of them, some of them are empty."
Yang Lin pointed to the largest box and asked, "What is this?"
Fang Butao: "It should be a 1.8-meter-tall teddy bear. They said they hope Shuangshuang can grow to that height soon."
Gu Yueshuang: “…”
Impossible.
Lin Yanqiu said silently in his heart.
Gu Yueshuang’s current height is the most suitable height.
Fang Butao asked: "Should we first shoot a video to thank the fans?"
Gu Yueshuang looked distressed. If she posted a verification video, more fans would definitely send her gifts, but she felt that it was unnecessary...
Gu Yueshuang thought for a moment and said, "Shoot a video and post it on the official Weibo account to show that we have received your kindness. I hope fans won't send you more..."
This is the trouble with too many gifts.
It’s totally inexhaustible.
Fang Butao: "Okay, wash your hands and go next door to eat cheese hot pot."
Xu Qing grabbed the game console and rushed to the next room: "Let's go! Let's play racing! Zhou Yao, take the remaining controllers!"
The boys rushed to the next room in a hurry.
Mr. Lin was used to their quarrels. He was in a good mood today and asked, "How was it today? Who's the MVP?"
Xu Qing's face instantly turned bitter: "Don't mention it, both MVPs were won by Brother Shuang."
Mr. Lin nodded: "Oh, no wonder she is so popular, I collected all your express deliveries today."
Xu Qing became cheerful again and asked, "Did it scare you?"
"Not really." Old Master Lin paused, "After all, this is how I accept gifts during festivals."
Xu Qing: “…”
Oh, I forgot that Mr. Lin has many students all over the world.
Mr. Lin continued, "But passersby were shocked. The courier drove up in a small train and said it was full of packages from this store. The passersby asked if there was any promotion, and I said it was a gift."
Mr. Lin's description was very calm, but Xu Qing guessed that the passerby must have been very shocked.
Xu Qingxiao fell on the sofa and said with emotion: "It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes. I feel it would be very interesting."
This is a wealthy area, but there are also nannies, workers or ordinary people who rent villas.
A truck full of express deliveries was given as a gift, and the passerby must have been shocked.
Gu Yueshuang arrived calmly and asked, "Grandpa Lin, when are we going to eat? I'm hungry."
Mr. Lin looked at her and smiled: "Didn't your fans give you so many gifts? Go to the next door and take some to fill your stomach."
Gu Yueshuang said awkwardly: "I want to eat hot pot."
Mr. Lin stopped teasing her: "It's hot again, and we'll be able to eat it soon."
Xu Qing: "Let's play games, Brother Shuang! Racing!"
Several children, each holding a controller, started racing on the same screen.
Lu Minghao searched for a long time but couldn't find which box he was in: "Which one am I? Where am I? What should I do? How do I operate it?"
Xu Qing said carelessly, "Actually, I haven't figured it out yet. Just play it blindly. It's just a game of luck."
Gu Yueshuang sneered: "Oh, it's just a game of luck if you don't know how to play it."
Gu Yueshuang had obviously played a lot. She was very skilled in taking shortcuts, drifting, throwing props to blow up teammates, etc., and she was far ahead.
After the game was over, Gu Yueshuang felt bored: "I don't want to play anymore, you are all so bad."
Lin Yanqiu also stood up: "I'll go see if there's anything I can do to help, you guys go ahead and have fun."
Zhou Yao suggested: "How about playing a breakup kitchen game for four people?"
Seeing this, Gu Yueshuang hurriedly called out to Fang Butao, "Quick, get your camera and take some pictures of them! They're going to start fighting soon."
Fang Butao: “?”
Gu Yueshuang: "They are going to play Breakup Kitchen with four people."
Fang Butao's eyes lit up instantly, he nodded in understanding, and picked up his camera equipment: "Xiao Lin, grab your gear! Let's go be paparazzi!"
Lin Yanqiu: “…”
He just wanted to help organize the gifts and bring some personal gifts, he didn't want to be a photographer...
The Breakup Kitchen quartet did not disappoint. The most harmonious time for them was actually the time before they entered the game.
After a while, the four of them started cursing at each other.
Fang Butao quietly set up a camera to record their reactions.
Gu Yueshuang was already sitting at the dining table waiting for hot pot.
Old Master Lin sat next to her, watching the four people playing games as if he were watching a show.
The old man said, "I think the hot pot was cooked when they started fighting."
Gu Yueshuang supported her chin: "Then let's eat first and ignore them."
The old man smiled with his eyes curved: "It's perfect, I can eat and watch a free show at the same time, it's great."
Lin Yanqiu: “…”
Grandpa, please don’t lead the kids astray!
Mr. Lin noticed that Gu Yueshuang was worried and asked, "Are you not sure how to give back to your fans?"
Gu Yueshuang nodded: "I think I can only keep working hard and perform better on the court."
Grandpa Lin smiled and said, "I think they've pinned their dreams on you. When your father was a kid, there were arcade machines in the arcade, but everyone was relatively poor, so they couldn't play for long, and they were always defeated."
Old Master Lin looked at Lin Yanqiu with a smile and said, "Your father once wanted to participate in the King of Boxing competition, but I stopped him."
Unexpectedly, I stopped my son but not my grandson.
"So, they all have an unfulfilled dream in their hearts, and I leave it to you."
Gu Yueshuang was embarrassed: "Then I can't guarantee what I can do..."
Mr. Lin: "Just keep doing what you're doing and keep winning the MVP."
Lin Yanqiu hesitated to speak, but after two seconds of silence, he couldn't help but speak: "Your grandson is also her MVP competitor."
Just as the cheese pot was ready, Mr. Lin picked up his chopsticks and called to Gu Yueshuang: "Let's eat."
Lin Yanqiu: “…”
Mr. Lin then replied to Lin Yanqiu: "Then why didn't anyone give you a gift?"
Gu Yueshuang thought for a moment and answered seriously, "Then his fans might have to transform our base into a hospital. They'll probably have to send a lot of medicine and supplements over."
Mr. Lin: "Forget it. I get a headache just looking at those medicines."
As he said that, he glanced at Lin Yanqiu and sighed again: "Seeing you also gives me a headache."
Lin Yanqiu: “…”
Am I a biological child?
Between me and her, who is your real grandson?
Mr. Lin got up and went to the kitchen and said, "I also prepared fried chicken legs. Let's eat them secretly so they don't find out."
Gu Yueshuang: "Okay!"
Lin Yanqiu: "...Excuse me, is there still a share for me?"
