Can't you come up with something better? Is the Asia server stage already not enough for you guys to come up with?

Let this yux go.
People aren't even playing anymore, what else do you want?

Well, although, the original poster is a bit wronged. This account is indeed Yux's account; he used it during training for the 2023 World Championship.
[picture]
Furthermore, he changed this ID several days ago (ps. this was posted by one of Yux's big fans), but his match history was disabled until yesterday. It was only this afternoon that everyone saw that he and Angel Yi had been duo-queuing all afternoon.

...?
Are you serious? Little wandering god? ???

It seems real; the match is in 2v2v2 mode.
Forget it, OP, stop posting. The game's fans will say it's just a training session for an exhibition match, as if Yux's hands aren't even part of his body.

Am I the only one who cares why they're playing on the European server?
147L
Yux didn't know, she only knew that Angel's Will seemed to be out of the house.
148L
How could the angels know even when they weren't at home?
149L
This was posted by Angel's stalker. [Images][Images] They say they haven't seen him leave the house for many days, and no takeout has been delivered, so he's probably not home.
150L
Holy crap, he has illegitimate children? That's disgusting!
151L
I'm indifferent to this streamer, but these stalker fans are disgusting... Can we call the police?
...
177L
Can people in this thread please stop taking things out of context? A few days ago, a major fan posted that yux's account was hacked, and it wasn't him using it at all. The name was clearly changed by the hacker.
They've thrown all shame into shipping couples like this. Do they really think everyone loves BL (Boys' Love) as much as your streamer?
178L
Wow, these CP fans are incredibly resourceful! They even managed to hack a pro player's account, and then they specifically hacked Angel's EU server account as well, so they could duo queue with both accounts. These CP fans are really taking the blame! ^ ^
179L
No, this time I'm genuinely curious. Is this true or false? Didn't a few days ago, a networking expert revealed that they had a grudge? Didn't Angel Yi even issue an apology statement?
180L
It's totally fake, okay? I've said it so many times, it's a hacked account.
Is it really okay for me to eat a keyboard on live stream?

On the tenth day after arriving in M City, Nan Zhiyi decided to return home.
The incident started when a pet boarding facility sent him a video in which his bird was squawking loudly and walking around on its perch.
[Dad, it seems like Daodao is having a separation anxiety attack? If possible, it would be best to pick her up as soon as possible.]
Nan Zhiyi wasn't Daodao's first owner. When he adopted it, it wasn't so clingy; somehow, it suddenly became inseparable from him after arriving at his home.
It's fine to go out for three or four days occasionally, but a separation of up to ten days is an unbearable burden for a bird.
Without hesitation, Nan Zhiyi immediately booked a flight for that night.
You Xin learned the news when he returned home in the evening. He didn't have a particularly strong reaction, simply asking, "Did you have fun these past few days?"
"I'm so happy, thank you for taking me in." Nan Zhiyi had completely lost the restraint she had when she first met the other person. "What about you? When are you planning to go back?"
The All-Star Game is next Friday. You Xin thought for a moment: "Next week then."
"Well... I'll treat you to dinner then? Is that okay?" Nan Zhiyi asked tentatively.
“Okay.” You Xin agreed readily, seemingly without any reservations.
But then she changed the subject: "How will I contact you then?"
Nan Zhiyi: "..." He then realized that the two of them hadn't added each other on WeChat yet.
You Xin handed over his QR code.
His WeChat profile picture is a close-up of a dog with its tongue sticking out and grinning at the camera, standing out from the other contestants' standard somber anime-style male profile pictures. His nickname is his professional ID, "yux".
Before accepting the friend request, Nan Zhiyi quickly cleaned up his WeChat Moments—he set all the photos of birds to be visible only to himself, which took him a full twenty minutes.
Song Meng drove to pick him up. You Xin saw him to the door, ignored his polite refusal, and helped him carry the suitcase out.
"See you next week," he said, and the trunk slammed shut.
"Okay, bye-bye."
Nan Zhiyi sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.
The car had driven a short distance. He glanced furtively at the rearview mirror and saw that You Xin was still standing at the door.
To this day, Nan Zhiyi still feels that his "journey to clear his mind" was like a dream: after three months of bad luck, he miraculously reconciled with You Xin.
It was as if all the luck I had accumulated over the past few months had been used up on this one thing.
Now... I guess we can be considered friends? Nan Zhiyi thought to herself, somewhat lost in thought.
"Are you reluctant to part with it?" Song Meng, who was driving, suddenly asked.
"Ah...ah??"
Nan Zhiyi suddenly snapped out of her daze and was startled.
He suddenly felt guilty for no reason: "Mengge, what... what did you just say?"
Song Meng chuckled, seemingly amused by his reaction.
“Hey, don’t mind me,” he said. “Actually, our whole team—I mean the CG team from 2023—knows that Xiaoyou had a very memorable first love, and they broke up later. I just never expected that his first love was you.”
"What? I..."
Nan Zhiyi was a little confused. After a long while, she managed to stammer out, "How did you know?"
...He never imagined that Song Meng would be the first person around him to find out.
"I guessed," Song Meng laughed. "Knowing the premise, it's actually quite easy to guess?"
Nan Zhiyi was extremely embarrassed: "Then, why did you say the whole team knew...?"
“Hmm? Xiaoyou said that himself. Once, during a team dinner, he seemed to have drunk too much,” Song Meng said. “Of course, he didn’t say it was his boyfriend—don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
He seemed unusually accepting of the situation: "Take a nap first, I'll wake you when we get there."
Nan Zhiyi rested his head against the car window. The lights flickered, and he stared at his own reflection in the window.
You Xin told everyone in the CG team that he had a "first love that was unforgettable"?
Is that what he really thought?
Nan Zhiyi recalled her description of Song Baiyu—"Back then, I was ignorant and too naive."
...He suddenly felt like he was one of those legendary scumbags.

On the return flight, Nan Zhiyi couldn't fall asleep, so she took out her laptop and started editing the footage she had recorded a couple of days earlier.
He rarely edits videos himself anymore. Sister Li hired a professional editor for him. The team consists of three people: a lead planner and two assistants. Their work efficiency is much higher than his.
The video, which was less than 20 minutes long, took a full eight hours to edit. By the time she got off the plane, Nan Zhiyi was already yawning constantly.
He retrieved his luggage, stood aside, opened WeChat, and paused for a moment, his thumb hovering over the puppy avatar at the top.
The two people's chat history stopped a dozen hours ago, when they had just added each other as friends, with You Xin sending him a cat emoji.
This emoji was captured from the game, and it's exactly the same as the one Yuxin used when the two of them crashed a car and went viral, with people jokingly saying "I thought Yux would never use it in his life."
Nan Zhiyi snapped out of her thoughts.
He typed: "The new video is finished editing. When do you think would be a good time to release it?"
The other party replied almost instantly.
[yux: You can have sex anytime]
After leaving the airport, Nan Zhiyi took a taxi directly to the foster home, picked up the little bird, and then headed home.
It was already past 8 p.m. when I got home.
Upon entering the house, I found the living room to be completely dark, but there was a dim light source on the sofa.
Qiu Cheng was lying on the sofa playing on his phone without turning on the light. Hearing the noise, he immediately sat up.
His expression was initially blank, then he recognized the person, his face twitched strangely, and he forced a smile: "Xiao Yi? You're back?"
Nan Zhiyi hummed in agreement and didn't say anything more.
Qiu Cheng scratched his head and started a conversation: "Uh, you're back just in time. I was just talking to them about it—I'm planning to form a team to compete in the Juxing Cup. We're still short of people for the team. Do you want to come? It's in April, a month-long competition."
The Stars Cup is a streamer competition jointly organized by the Stars platform and other platforms. It is held every year, and the champion and runner-up will have the opportunity to participate in the Contenders Cup held in May, where they will compete against professional players from the first and second teams of the league.
Nan Zhiyi didn't say anything, went upstairs in the dark, and put the birdcage back in its own room.
His coldness was so obvious that Qiu Cheng probably realized something was wrong. He chased after him from downstairs: "Xiao Yi, are you angry? Tang Yuan said he accidentally kicked you out of the group chat by mistake and invited you back, but you didn't agree. You didn't reply to his messages either."
"He was quite careless."
Nan Zhiyi finally spoke her first words of the night.
After hearing this, Qiu Cheng actually laughed: "Are you really angry? So petty? I thought you wouldn't get angry over something so small—"
"Qiu Cheng," Nan Zhiyi called him by his full name.
His tone was very serious, with not a trace of joking: "Why have you become like this?"
Qiu Cheng was taken aback by what he said.
What do you mean by "I've become—"
“You weren’t like this before.” Nan Zhiyi squeezed past him, went out the door, and went to get her luggage downstairs. “Have you forgotten? When you were creating your account, you said you wanted to make tutorials for the High Priest. You told me you wanted people to praise you as the best High Priest in the Asia server. You made more than thirty videos at first, and nobody watched them, but you still persisted.”
Qiu Cheng was completely baffled: "That was so long ago... Why are you suddenly telling me this?"
Nan Zhiyi stopped in his tracks. He turned around in the darkness: "You're clearly not even close to Yux. You two have no grudges against each other, so why did you go live with those people and say those kinds of things?"
"I..." Qiu Cheng stammered, trying to explain first, "Xiao Yi, don't you know? You Xin offended the big boss of CG, and they've already said they'll make sure he can't stay in the industry anymore. Didn't you see what Wind and Beer said? Wind said he's a terrible person, and nobody in the team likes him—"
"So you're so eager to consume his black traffic?" Nan Zhiyi said softly.
Qiu Cheng looked a little annoyed: "What do you mean I ate his black?"
"You have ten million followers, and they will imitate everything you say and do. A sentence from you may be just a sentence, but it can cause a storm among your followers."
Nan Zhiyi paused briefly: "But Qiu Cheng, have you ever thought that with so many fans, you should shoulder certain responsibilities and duties? You are a role model for your fans. Regardless of whether you like Yux or not, regardless of who he offended, do you really think it's right to kick him when he's down just to attract traffic?"
"That line wasn't mine! Tangyuan said it was something on the roadside, what the hell does that have to do with me?!"
Qiu Cheng slammed his hand on the wall, looking completely enraged.
Nan Zhiyi remained calm: "You're live-streaming, so not refuting it means you're tacitly agreeing."
"Yes! Yes! My not refuting means I condone it!" Qiu Cheng yelled at him, "Yes! I'm not as noble as you! I, Qiu Cheng, only get viewers by feeding on Yux's negative traffic!"
"Do you think I'm like you, someone who can just show their face and have a huge following? And have a good degree so they can find a good job even if they stop streaming? I only went to a vocational high school, and without traffic I can't afford to eat, so I'll have to work in a factory tightening screws! When you were condescendingly criticizing me, did you even consider my perspective for a second?"
Nan Zhiyi stood in the darkness, watching Qiu Cheng's furious outburst. At that moment, he was utterly disappointed.
"After all this explanation, you still don't understand. This is not a reason for you to hurt others."
After saying that, Nan Zhiyi picked up her luggage and went back to her room.
“We’ve known each other for over ten years. You and that Yux only hung out for a few days in high school, right?” Qiu Cheng shouted at him from behind. “Talking to me like this for someone like that, Nan Zhiyi, have you ever even considered me your friend?”
-
Qiu Cheng and Nan Zhiyi fell into a cold war. For the next few days, the two did not exchange a single word.
Days passed, and February 14th—the day the All-Star Game opened—finally arrived.
The competition lasted for three days. The first day included the opening ceremony, awards ceremony, and entertainment matches, followed by different events such as team competitions and solo competitions.
You Xin was originally scheduled to arrive in S City, where the competition was being held, a day early. Nan Zhiyi had wanted to treat him to a meal to thank him for taking him in some time ago, but unfortunately, the plane was delayed and didn't land until after 1 a.m. on the 14th, so he had to cancel the restaurant reservation.
This year's All-Star Game is more anticipated than ever before.
The reason is that "yux, who has been missing for three months, will make an appearance on site," and all the other members of CG, except for the newly debuted player xww, will attend as guests.
In addition, the fact that "yux and Angel Yi played together" also caused undercurrents between their respective fan groups.
Even before the match started, the atmosphere outside the stadium was already tense.
However, earlier that day, the appearance of a video instantly ignited the already tense pre-match atmosphere.
