Chapter 02 Wife
The e-sports circle is not a very small circle, but compared to the entertainment circle, sports circle and other circles with high national popularity, it is not too big. However, in all these years, the only e-sports player who has really become popular is Qi Ji.
The reason is that in addition to his extremely high popularity and commercial value, Qi Ji's face, which is no less than any star, has also played a big role. He is not only the symbol of HOW, but also the unquestionable face value of the entire domestic e-sports circle.
But now Qi Ji is not the only one who has become popular. At the moment when MG won the championship, the names of the club and melt rushed to the hot search, and melt was followed by a big explosion word, rushing to the first place in the hot search.
In the hot search, countless e-sports fans are overwhelmed by melt's god-level operation and fearless courage, and passers-by outside the circle sigh that after miracle Qi Ji, the e-sports circle has ushered in another professional player with super high looks.
What makes the beauty lovers ecstatic is that these two people look different. Qi Ji is a cold beauty with a nearly perfect appearance, while Yuan Zhuo is a handsome and flamboyant boy with a comic face.
In short, although it is not possible to match Qi Ji's super popularity for a while, no one doubts that Yuan Zhuo, who is excellent in all aspects, is undoubtedly a super star with huge potential.
Just one hour after winning the championship, some e-sports media have already asserted that it won’t be long before melt will become the next Qi Ji and replace him as the leader of the new generation of HPL.
Praises were thrown at Yuan Zhuo like crazy, and some black fans who were curious about the future directly called out to Qi Ji - the new king has been born, is it time for someone to retire and give way?
In the domestic e-sports circle, the two words Qi Ji are another name for traffic. Not long after, the topic of "Qi Ji's retirement" also rushed to the front row of hot searches.
Everyone was discussing whether this 24-year-old veteran who had fought for 9 years should really retire?
Some of his fans even lamented, "Qi Shen has paid too much for his third championship. Maybe he should take a break."
Of course, this is not the voice of all fans of Miracle. Some irritable fans directly responded to this Weibo post.
"Retire, fuck you! Qi Ji can still play if he wants to. Is it your turn to arrange his retirement?"
"That's right. Everyone is happy that MG won the championship, but don't use a little kid to drag down our Qi Ji."
"To be fair, do you really think Qi Ji can still play? E-sports is an industry that relies on youth. The prime years of a player are only 4 or 5 years. It is common for normal players to retire at the age of 22 or 23, but Qi Ji is already 24 this year and will be 25 next season."
"Yes, yes, time is unforgiving. My M God has indeed regressed and can't fight five alone, but facts have proved that even now, any soul master who dares to show off in front of my M God will not be hammered in the head by him?"
"Hahaha, that's true. I don't know who got hit in the head by melt in the bubble match (the match for the last world championship spot)."
"I think watching a game doesn't waste electricity. Anyone with eyes knows who was at fault in that game, huh?"
"One has to accept old age. The future is melt's era. This guy is really terrifying. He won the championship after only playing professionally for half a year. Even Qi Ji couldn't compare to him back then."
"You can't compare to him in your dreams. When my Qi Shen won the championship when he debuted at the age of 16, melt was still in elementary school. Don't talk too early. There are many people who lost after winning the championship. Let's just wait and see."
"I heard that melt has a crazy personality. Maybe what he said to the camera before was to provoke Qi Ji."
"Don't mention it. Judging from the lip movements, the first two words seem to be Qi Ji. Is there anyone who knows lip reading who can translate it for everyone?"
"Qi Ji, are you old? Qi Ji, is this my time? Qi Ji, retire? Qi Ji, the championship is mine? Tsk, anyway, I think that little M will definitely not be willing to be inferior to Qi Ji. After all, e-sports is still the world of young people."
The Internet was arguing fiercely, but as the parties involved, neither Qi Ji nor Yuan Zhuo knew about it.
Qi Ji would not go online unless it was necessary, and Yuan Zhuo was accepting a post-match interview.
Facing the long-lost championship, the media were extremely excited, and the topics revolved around winning the championship.
Yuan Zhuo doesn't like being interviewed. More importantly, he wants to meet someone more than a boring and long interview, even though he knows in his heart that he probably won't be able to meet him at all, just like every time before.
But as the winner of the FMVP (Finals Best Player) of this S game, coupled with his face that can't be ignored, if nothing unexpected happens, he will grow into the next superstar in the near future.
Superstars also mean attention and traffic. How could the media workers let him go? Soon all the questions were pushed to him.
After playing for more than four hours, plus the award ceremony, Yuan Zhuo was a little tired, and the tone of his answer was also a little lazy and distracted.
Until a reporter asked a rather interesting question.
"Melt, you have played against both Miracle and Flower this season. Which player do you think gave you more pressure?"
An ordinary 18-year-old boy might not be able to hear the malice behind this question, but Yuan Zhuo is not ordinary. He was born in a wealthy family and has seen all kinds of people and all kinds of scenes.
Without thinking carefully, he could hear that the reporter's implicit meaning was that he thought Flower was at her peak and was better than Qi Ji, who was at the end of his career.
And he wanted to use this question to guide him to say it out loud, so as to trigger a topic and gain traffic.
But unfortunately, he estimated that he would disappoint him.
To be fair, Flower's talent and professional attitude are indeed good. At the age of 20, he is at the peak of his career. Even when he competes with Qi Ji, he is not at a disadvantage. Because his teammates are better, he can sometimes surpass Qi Ji.
If it weren't for the sudden emergence of their MG, even Yuan Zhuo believed that he would tie Qi Ji's world championship results and become the new generation leader of HOW.
But unfortunately, there is no if, he just appeared at the right time and stopped him miraculously.
As for the strength of the two of them? Whether it is a fact or in Yuan Zhuo's heart, no one can be compared with Qi Ji.
Frowning impatiently, Yuan Zhuo raised his superior chin and looked down at the reporter who asked the question, his tone lazy and a little unhappy.
"I say, can you not compare just anyone to Qi Ji?"
His answer made the media reporters look at each other in bewilderment. The new champion's personality was indeed a bit arrogant, as if he didn't take the number one soul method in the Korean division seriously at all.
But when it comes to Qi Ji, it seems a little too humble, which is really a little strange.
In any case, Yuan Zhuo finally jumped over this trap in his own way.
But obviously no one wants to give up this great opportunity to gain traffic and attention, and then another more straightforward and sharp question was thrown in front of Yuan Zhuo.
"Melt, according to the information, you are just 18 years old. As a new world champion, do you think your achievements in the future will surpass miracle and replace him as the number one in HOW or even the e-sports circle?"
Speaking of miracle, there is no way to surpass his dazzling achievements.
This is his 9th year in service. It should be noted that HOW has only been in its 9th year since it started the professional league. He has won 2 world championships, 7 league championships, and other championships of varying sizes, not to mention runner-ups.
The second-best player in history is his teammate Zhang Huayu, who retired three years ago and was once the world's No. 1 soul thorn.
This shows how amazing Qi Ji's achievements are.
But he has been the No. 1 player in HOW for too long, so long that sometimes people even feel a little sorry that many talented players were born in the wrong era and encountered this insurmountable mountain.
But now someone who can challenge Qi Ji's position has finally appeared. What's more subtle is that it was MG led by melt who defeated GF led by Qi Ji in the bubble match, replaced them and entered the world competition, and miraculously won the championship.
Everyone is secretly looking forward to what earth-shaking sparks this pair of new and old champions can collide with. What's
more exciting is that this time Yuan Zhuo seems to be as everyone wishes. After hearing this question, he seemed to have been poked by a switch, and his eyes suddenly became clear and sharp. Not only
that, he also sat up straight, stretched out his slender fingers and held the microphone in front of him. The whole person is serious and serious, not like a teenager who has just come of age.
He stared closely at the reporter who asked the question, and spoke seriously word by word.
"You are wrong, Miracle will never be replaced, and his achievements will not stop here."
At this point, everyone finally understood that Melt was actually Qi Ji's true fan.
Well, why ask this?
Of course, not all media had bad intentions. One of the gentle reporters took the opportunity to ease the atmosphere, and of course there was also suspicion of satisfying her own curiosity.
"Before the award ceremony, I remember that contestant Melt seemed to say something to the camera. Would you mind sharing it with everyone?"
Yuan Zhuo really didn't expect that someone else noticed this. As if he remembered something, his face suddenly flushed!
The arrogant young man who had just been at ease in front of the media suddenly started to choke.
"Ahem, no, nothing, nothing to tell you."
He would not tell anyone, what he said was...
Wife, I'm here.
