Shi Ya was stunned by the massive car rollover scene. He looked down at his phone and discovered that related posts had appeared on the forum at the same time.
[Thanks for the invitation, someone from the Tournament staff, today witnessed Blink's shocking secret to growing taller [hilarious]: height-increasing insoles!]
Shi Ya sighed softly. There was no need to think about it. MM Dou must have been silently put into the social blacklist by Xia Xiaotong.
He glanced at his side in disbelief. Lin Mingfei was sitting with her arms folded and her legs crossed, looking calm and composed, even a little gloating.
"Good job, old dog. You're on top of things." He couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Not everyone? No one? Is worthy enough to snatch someone from me." Lin Mingfei said calmly.
"But Xia Xiaotong is a little pitiful like this." Shi Ya said.
"Actually, there's no secret to growing taller overnight. We're not stupid. If we go back and think about it carefully, we can probably guess." Lin Mingfei said, "Although his height isn't great, it's not a flaw. There's no need to feel inferior. You can't just ignore this problem for the rest of your life."
"So, sooner or later, Xia Xiaotong will have to learn to face other people's teasing calmly." Shi Yawei suddenly realized.
Lin Mingfei nodded without comment.
"Great, truly great." Shi Yiya gave him a thumbs-up. "You're worthy of being a leader."
"Go away." Lin Mingfei stood up with a smile. At this time, MM Dou had already walked out from inside in a daze.
"I'm sorry, I think I did something wrong." He said to Lin Mingfei, "I made Blink unhappy."
"It's okay, it's not your fault, you mean well." Lin Mingfei smiled lazily.
"Well, this..." MM Dou raised the damn height-increasing insole.
"Throw it away, it doesn't matter." Lin Mingfei said.
"What about Blink?"
"I will comfort him well, don't worry, I just happened to see you off." Lin Mingfei suddenly hooked his arm around MMdou's neck and pushed her out of the studio, even talking to her like a brother: "I heard that you broke up with your girlfriend... Have you considered getting back together? It takes ten years to build a relationship, and a hundred years to build a relationship. I advise you to cherish it——"
MMdou was actually quite grateful to Lin Mingfei. He'd pissed off the Omega on their team, and yet Lin Mingfei, as their team leader, hadn't blamed him at all and had even helped him resolve his relationship issues. As they walked out of the studio, they bumped into a few people.
Lin Mingfei and MMdou both stopped. He raised his head and saw the person coming from the opposite side. His brows were slightly furrowed and his lip lines were straight.
Du Yong was holding a briefcase and standing in front of the Shadow team with a smile on his face, looking very naive.
"Brother Meng, I was just looking for you. It turns out you came here on your own ahead of time." Du Yong said, his eyes moving horizontally to Lin Mingfei's face, his smile unchanged: "God Z, it's been a long time since we last met. You look more energetic than ever."
Lin Mingfei did not smile. He narrowed his eyes and looked at his former team manager with a speculative look.
Shi Ya's previous inference became a reality.
He originally thought that he would be very angry when facing Du Yong, but when he really stood here, he was not as furious as he had imagined.
I just think it's a little bit ridiculous.
MMdou hesitated for a moment, then snapped back to her senses. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I remember now. Manager Du used to be with Polaris, but you guys disbanded later, so he just came to us."
"Yeah, he tore up our Polaris and sold it, and announced that he was going to participate in a talent show. Who knew that he would end up back in the e-sports circle begging for food?" Lin Mingfei smiled nonchalantly, but her words were sharp and sarcastic.
Du Yong's smile froze, but he shrugged calmly, quickly adjusting his composure. "At the time, I had no choice. Everyone was just trying to make a living. It was only after I went out and looked around that I realized esports was my original passion."
Hearing him say the word "original intention", Lin Mingfei laughed out loud.
"To be honest, I'm not afraid of offending anyone," Du Yong said. "If Polaris had been established at that time, I would definitely choose to return to Polaris and not go to Shadow Team as a team manager."
Du Yong is a person who really uses his talent of speaking different words to different people to different people to different people. This time, Lin Mingfei didn't even bother to look at him. She just patted MM Dou's shoulder and turned away without saying a word.
MMdou looked at Lin Mingfei's back with emotion, and felt that he could not say much about the old grudges between them. After all, Du Yong was now their shadow manager, and his daily work was impeccable. He really had no right to blame anyone.
"Don't take it too seriously." He could only pat Du Yong's shoulder and say so.
"That's definitely not the case." Du Yong smiled and said, "Okay, everyone hurry up and get into the studio."
Only after all the members of the Shadow Team were sent into the studio did Du Yong's mouth slowly droop. He brushed his sleeves and suddenly snorted.
He walked to a deserted place and took out a cigarette, but couldn't find a lighter for a long time. He was getting annoyed when suddenly someone handed him a pinch of lighter.
"Brother Yong." Ping Shuai didn't know when he came. He used his palm to protect the flame for him and smiled flatteringly.
Du Yong lit the cigarette with the fire he gave him, took a deep breath and exhaled.
"I never expected it," he said with deep emotion. "Polaris has actually made it this far."
"I didn't expect to see them here." Ping Shuai agreed: "What happened? Who did you run into?"
"Who else could it be? Zero." Du Yong said, "He's full of sarcasm." After a pause, he sighed and said, "But it's no wonder he's so confident. He actually won a Grand Slam in the group qualifiers..."
"Pah." Ping Shuai's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. He spat and said, "Their Grand Slam victory was nothing but good luck. Brother Yong, didn't you see what kind of teams they were matched up against in the qualifiers? What? Rookie teams! If it were me, I would win even if I played with my eyes closed."
"Don't forget that they also defeated the saber-toothed tiger." Du Yong glanced at him.
"Sabertooth? Are you talking about that worthless actor Dylan?" Ping Shuai's eyes were filled with increasing sarcasm. "Sabertooth clearly wasn't fighting seriously, and they just let Polaris take advantage of their situation. Now let Polaris fight us Shadows. I'll see if we don't beat the hell out of their entire team."
"Hmm." Du Yong quickly finished a cigarette and put out the butt on the windowsill. "You have a point."
"I'm just being honest," Ping Shuai said. "We only lost one match in the Shadow Qualifiers, and that was because of Damai's poor performance. We're actually the strongest team."
"Well, the championship is different from the qualifying group stage after all." Du Yong said thoughtfully, "Not all the idiot teams can get in."
"Yeah, Brother Yong, just wait and see. When the official competition starts in two days, Polaris's true colors will be revealed," Ping Shuai said.
The tournament's schedule was quickly announced. After the draw, Polaris unexpectedly placed at the top of the table for four consecutive matches, a truly impressive feat. Having previously won the group qualifiers, Polaris was the only team to achieve a Grand Slam victory, which already garnered considerable attention. This further heightened expectations.
There are many people on the Internet who are pessimistic about them, saying that things will eventually turn against them, that it is impossible for them to have such good luck and win Grand Slam one after another. A team carrying so much halo is like climbing a mountain with a heavy load. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at them, eagerly waiting for the moment when they fail. The higher they were praised before, the higher the concentration of dopamine will be ignited by their miserable situation after falling, and how many people will boo them like they are watching a monkey show.
This is human nature.
In the following days, Polaris won again and again, and Xia Tong, an Omega player who has always been highly discussed and unique, won the MVP in eight out of a total of eighteen games.
This performance amazed everyone. It seemed as if this short little wizard had vented all his previous indignation about his "height" into the battle, becoming unstoppable.
I don’t know who was the first to shout it out on the Internet, but then countless people echoed it.
[At the moment Blink scored a pentakill, his short stature was surprisingly taller than Kuafu chasing the sun! And it was filled with a dazzling brilliance! Ah! He is our Eye God!]
【Blink is a drop from a height!!】

At the same time, an inconspicuous post appeared in the corner of the forum.
[I don't know if you're aware of this inside story, but the former manager of the Polaris team, Mr. Du, is now the manager of the Shadow team! As everyone knows, Polaris was once a three-peat champion team. The current ace team, Sabertooth, has a stable position under the management of Mr. Cai, so Mr. Du worked hard to join the runner-up team. His greed is truly unsightly. I wonder if he feels any regret now that he sees Polaris's performance like this?]
This post has little to do with the current popular contestants and the content of the competition, and the old personnel changes cannot be traced, so it only surfaced briefly and then quickly sank.
