Early the next morning, Fang Butao, with dark circles under his eyes, scrolled through hundreds of messages in the WeChat group - all screenshots encouraging them.
[It's okay, we're a new team, so we'll just take it one step at a time! Go POG!]
"Being able to defeat Team GGB is already impressive! Come on! Beat up FJ, you're still the best!"
[Tell Brother Shuang, no matter what others say, any newbie who can get a pentakill is a genius!]
[There are so many strong teams that have been defeated by the website team, so even if we round it up, you are still a strong team (dog head)]
[Those who curse you are either gamblers or GGB fans. Ignore them, you are awesome!]
[Be more confident. If someone criticizes you, you are a strong team. If a weak team loses, who cares?]
…
After posting the picture, Fang Butao added, "There are still many people who support you! Don't lose heart!"
Gu Yueshuang is a person who seldom uses her mobile phone. Usually, there are not many people talking in their group, and most of the conversations are about important matters, so she did not turn on the Do Not Disturb function for messages.
So much so that I was woken up by the phone notification ringing early in the morning - it was like a series of fatal calls.
Gu Yueshuang yawned as she went downstairs and ran into Lin Yanqiu, who also looked sleepy.
She was a little puzzled: "Why did you wake up so early? How many hours did you sleep?"
Lin Yanqiu held a cup of hot coffee and said, "I can't sleep because so many people are supporting me."
"It's amazing that he was able to find such encouraging words amidst all the criticism. I wonder how many websites he must have searched..." Gu Yueshuang turned on her computer and asked, "Where did you get the coffee? I want a cup, too."
Lin Yanqiu: "Go get some milk. Children won't grow taller if they drink coffee."
Gu Yueshuang: “?”
Lin Yanqiu changed the subject and said, "If it really is the same group of people, I'll be even more sleepless. I'm lucky to be protected by others."
Gu Yueshuang took out two mint candies from the drawer and went to get a glass of sweet milk.
Seeing that she was in good condition, Lin Yanqiu felt relieved, thinking that she really didn't read the comments on the forum.
In fact, people on the internet are mostly criticizing their stupid BP, thinking that Xayah, Rakan, mid and jungle will be shattered at the first touch. The website team is used to playing snake, so are you POG playing snake too?
“It’s simply overestimating one’s own abilities.”
If she knew that they were criticizing the BP, she would definitely rush to take the blame, and maybe even play Xayah, Rakan, mid and jungle again to prove herself - there was nothing wrong with the BP, it was the players' playing that was problematic.
POG can accompany her as she grows, but cannot watch her fall into the same pit twice.
Lin Yanqiu asked, "Double row?"
Gu Yueshuang: "Come."
Lin Yanqiu: "This week, you should focus on Syndra, and secondarily choose Clockwork. Once you pass, we'll move on to the next stage."
Gu Yueshuang hesitated for two seconds, confirming that he was arranging a training plan for her. After a moment's hesitation, she finally responded, "Okay."
Her state during this period was like a headless fly, running around here and there, trying to find a breakthrough point, but she couldn't find one anywhere.
She stood at the fork in the road, hesitating.
Now Lin Yanqiu helped her choose the most unpretentious path, a path that was a bit rustic and a bit stupid but also very effective.
Lin Yanqiu's voice was as clear as water, carrying a certain magical power that reassured people. He said, "Don't always think about opening up a new path. Of course, I know you have this ability, and I believe in you."
He paused and dragged out a picture from a folder. It was a medical record of Zhou Yao.
He continued, "But some players may not have next year."
[Chronic lumbar muscle strain, it is not advisable to sit for a long time, it is recommended to treat it as soon as possible]
"knew."
Gu Yueshuang responded muffledly, took a sip of milk, and then put some of the fantastic tactical systems recorded on her desktop into a rarely used folder and sealed it for the time being.
She took a deep breath and asked, "What are you going to practice?"
Lin Yanqiu: "Xia and EZ."
The AD version is evergreen.
Gu Yueshuang: "Okay."
The base was a bit quiet. Lin Yanqiu thought about the few hours of live broadcast time he still had to do this month, so he said, "I'll start a live broadcast without turning on the camera."
Gu Yueshuang: "Okay."
Few esports players have mornings.
It is a rare species for two people like them to appear in the morning, and netizens who discovered the show were also shocked.
[Can't sleep? Running to play RANK?]
[Are you still asleep or have you just woken up? ]
[With all due respect, yesterday's game was truly rubbish.]
Where's the housing management? Let's close it down!
Lin Yanqiu: "No need to seal it, just say whatever you want, it's okay."
When he said this, the trolls got excited——
[Double queue with the mid laner again? You two, stop messing around. Frost is already a noob, and you keep picking weird heroes. Are you just pretending to be Ninja?]
"Block the guy who insulted my teammates." Lin Yanqiu saw the comment immediately, perhaps because he was annoyed by the slow response of the room manager. "Forget it, I'll block him myself."
【? ? 】
【Isn’t that just a random thing to say? Hahahaha】
[You can say it's okay to be a streamer, but you can't say it's okay to be a mid-laner. What is this, my friends? Double standards.]
[Frost, the world's number one mid laner, sent out 10 deep-water torpedoes]
"Thanks to 'Frost, the world's number one mid laner' for sending 10 deep waters." He read it smoothly and loudly, and very naturally added this sponsor to the room. "I'll add you to the room. If you see anyone cursing my teammates again, please help block them."
The fan named [Frost, the world's number one mid laner] was a little flattered. He didn't expect that Xiaolin's property management would be so easy to get, and sent a series of "good"s.
[? ? They're already dealing with the housing management? ? Last time, someone sent a hundred deep waters and the housing management didn't even bother with it!]
[Don't mention there's no housing management. Last time, Brother Cheng came here, he paid a hundred deep-water protection fees to avoid being kicked out.]
[Shocked, the newcomer is actually a relative (dog head) (please don’t block it)]
[I heard a sound, what are you drinking? ]
[Is there really no one in the morning queue? I have to wait in line for a long time...]
Before he even queued up, Lin Yanqiu clicked on the FJ team's game video, occasionally replying to a comment: "The mid laner is drinking milk. Yes, the newcomer is indeed a relative."
Gu Yueshuang was choked and coughed violently. After a long while, she leaned on the table and asked, "Why do you say everything?"
Lin Yanqiu smiled and said, "Someone asked."
Gu Yueshuang: "..."
Damn, he looks so good when he smiles, I can't blame him at all.
She looked away shamefully.
There's no way around it, being good-looking is amazing.
The two of them finally queued up for the game, and Gu Yueshuang gasped: "Hiss—why did you assign me to the support position?"
Although I couldn't see it, I felt that Xiaolin shuddered in fear when he heard it.
[Do you still remember the fear of being dominated by Frost Brother's support? ]
[This pub mid laner is Korean? It's over, can we communicate? ]
The high-end games on the Korean server are closer to the rhythm of the game, so many professional players will play ranked games on the Korean server.
Generally, you can tell where the player is from by looking at his name. Those who use pinyin are definitely Chinese, and those who use Korean are mostly Korean. If you are not sure, it is always a good idea to communicate in English first.
Gu Yueshuang typed away on the keyboard, saying, "I'll ask him if he can switch places with me."
She sent out a string of Korean messages, Lin Yanqiu was stunned, and the audience was also stunned.
【？ 】
Is Shuang a Korean player? No way? She doesn't have an accent in Chinese, and she can type Korean so fluently.
Lin Yanqiu was embarrassed and quickly explained: "I am a Chinese, really."
Seeing someone asking, Gu Yueshuang explained, "Having been on the Korean server for a long time, it's inevitable that I have to learn a few more languages. Plus, there was a Korean guy in my original team who didn't speak Chinese."
She hesitated for a moment, then decided it wasn't a good idea to set the tone, and added, "It's just a coincidence. It has nothing to do with him. I already knew Korean when I was thirteen."
She had a conversation with a random mid laner, who was very friendly and switched positions with her.
In the following live broadcast, the audience magically discovered that whenever Gu Yueshuang's hero died, everyone heard the sound of keyboard typing, but in the end, nothing could be seen.
So this is just typing away in frustration?
Please ask Brother Shuang if he is from Zaun or Ionia. The guys in these two regions are the most aggressive.
What kind of keyboard is this? The typing sound is quite nice.
Lin Yanqiu corrected: "No, I'm really typing."
She could even speak in different languages. She would select and delete all the short essays after writing them each time. Perhaps before sending them out, her mind reminded her that if a contestant was reported for swearing, he would be fined, so she held back.
Lin Yanqiu relayed the comments: "They asked you which district you were from and what keyboard you used."
Gu Yueshuang: "I have accounts for both Power 1 and Power 2. Canyon of Heroes came out late, so I don't play much. I don't know about the keyboard, I just bought it randomly."
[I told her she must have an account in Zaun! Otherwise, she wouldn't have cursed so quickly!]
Ionia expresses dissatisfaction. Every time the ban and silence list comes out, we get more one-on-one than two-on-one!
Soon the comments started to argue about who was better at cursing, Dian Yi or Dian Er.
Lin Yanqiu couldn't quite understand this outrageous Zaun culture. After all, being scolded or being able to scold others was not something to be proud of, so he simply pretended not to see it.
The two of them played in duos for the entire morning, playing four games in total, winning three and losing one, which was a pretty good result.
When the two of them entered the queue for the fifth round, Xu Qing finally woke up.
He was walking down the stairs while playing with his cell phone, but he missed a step and slid down with a clatter as if he was on an irregular slide.
Lin Yanqiu and Gu Yueshuang were startled by the noise and stood up at the same time and ran over to help him, asking, "Are you okay?"
Xu Qing was a little dazed after being hit. He was pulled up by two people. He patted the dust off his butt and said with a little uncertainty: "Is it okay? Just a little sore on the butt... Luckily I have a thick layer of fat."
Xu Qing was originally just a little chubby, but since joining POG and being able to eat meals cooked by the chef next door, his appetite has increased dramatically. He has visibly gained two circles of weight and is showing a tendency to continue to gain weight.
But fortunately, the fat layer was thick, which saved my life today.
He shook himself and moved around a bit before finally saying, "It's really okay."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Lin Yanqiu reminded him: "Don't play with your phone when you go downstairs next time."
Fortunately, I landed on my butt this time. If my face or hands landed next time, I would probably have to go to the hospital.
The prompt sound for confirming the ranking rang out, and the two of them left Xu Qing behind and ran back to the computer to click OK.
I finally got in line, and if I miss this bus, I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait.
Xu Qing was a little confused. He clicked on the official account of the ranking records and wondered, "You two have been duo-queuing for so long?"
There are fewer people in the King rank in the morning. Everyone is a night owl. Including the queue time, one game will take at least an hour...
Xu Qing trotted over to observe whether the two had dark circles under their eyes, and couldn't help but ask sincerely: "Did you two sleep last night?"
Lin Yanqiu: “?”
Gu Yueshuang: “?”
Barrage: “????”
Fans changed the color of their barrage to yellow——
[I'm still white, right?]
[So did you sleep or not? ]
[Today's duo-queuing rapport was impressive. Perhaps they slept?]
Lin Yanqiu looked at the string of pornographic comments and threatened, "I'm turning off the live broadcast."
Xu Qing was shocked. He didn't see the red light on the camera just now and thought no one was broadcasting live.
His first reaction was, "Did they just hear me fall down the stairs?"
[No, I don’t care whether Fatty fell or not. I just want to know whether they slept or not.]
We heard you say it's a good thing you have a thick fat layer.
[Fat is a good thing, remember to eat more. If someone else falls, the coach might have to play in the next game.]
So did you sleep or not?
Xu Qing was so anxious that he stuttered a little: "No, I... I was just asking if they slept last night. Not together! I was asking if they had enough sleep!"
Seeing the barrage of comments filled with rainbow emoticons and funny emoticons, Lin Yanqiu turned off the live broadcast with an expressionless face.
The audience was caught off guard and faced with a black screen——
【???】
Merciless!
[Did it really shut down without a word? ? ]
【I won’t brush it anymore when you come back! 】
[No... Brother, if you turn it off now, won't that just make it more obvious?]
I've noticed that POG tends to lean towards a certain team before playing against them. For example, they become more likely to trash-talk before playing against GGB, more likely to play slick tactics against the URL team, and more likely to become gay before playing against the Abs team.
【You discovered the truth! 】
Xu Qing knew he had said the wrong thing. He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry... maybe my mind isn't clear yet."
Gu Yueshuang was very tolerant: "It's okay, I have plenty of rhythms, so I don't have to worry about this one more."
The more open-minded Gu Yueshuang was, the more guilty he felt.
Lin Yanqiu noticed that he was uncomfortable and said, "If you want to make amends, take Shuke out for a walk."
Gu Yueshuang agreed: "Yes, and bring me a cup of milk tea, a large original flavor with 30% sugar."
Lack of sleep and the morning RANK made her a little sleepy. She might feel sleepy again after eating. She needed external things to refresh herself and stay awake.
Xu Qing wondered: "You don't want Coke anymore?"
Gu Yueshuang: "Then buy a bottle as well. Remember to buy the canned version."
"Okay, Xiaolin, do you want to bring anything?"
"Need not."
Lin Yanqiu reminded her: "Excessive sugar intake is not good. Are you sleepy?"
Gu Yueshuang: "A little bit. After this game, I'm going to sleep for half an hour."
Lin Yanqiu: "Okay."
The top laner in this game is a Chinese player, his name is in pinyin, very easy to recognize, mei dai zhi.
Gu Yueshuang didn't pay attention to him at first, but he started to mock her right away. However, the Korean server can only send pinyin messages, not Chinese messages. Gu Yueshuang was too lazy to translate the pinyin, so she ignored him.
As a result, this top laner named "Mei Dai Pai" deliberately came to the middle lane to steal her minion line, and even lured the opposing jungler to come and kill her once. Only then did she go to look through these records.
【Garbled mid laner, shame on you.】
[Earlier, I was bragging about the future, wondering who would end the other's winning streak first, POG or FJ. What a joke.]
[It was a rollover, right? Was it fun?]
Lin Yanqiu asked: "Do you know him?"
Gu Yueshuang answered decisively: "I don't know him."
Seeing that her expression was not right, Lin Yanqiu reminded her, "Take screenshots and photos. This is a youth training player. Just report it to the league. Don't talk back."
Gu Yueshuang was angry and didn't respond.
Lin Yanqiu seemed to be trying to comfort her, saying, "I feel like a frustrated gambler who bought a lottery ticket. Let the league investigate match-fixing."
Gu Yueshuang went to the top lane silently to cut off the minion line.
The opponent's top laner saw that she was low on health and wanted to come over to attack her, but was killed by Gu Yueshuang with a superb move.
Gu Yueshuang was at the bottom of her health, so she found a bush and returned to the city. She looked very angry.
Lin Yanqiu thought her behavior was funny and cute, and asked, "What are you going to do to help him?"
"I'm not helping him, I'm mocking him." Gu Yueshuang muttered quietly when no one was around. "What a useless top laner, he deserves not to play in the LPL. I easily kill those he can't kill, and he can only watch, unable to even get an assist. Ha, what a piece of trash."
Gu Yueshuang's development improved, and passers-by, junglers and supports also began to pin the top laner, and frantically clicked on the question mark of the top laner.
Fortunately, they won the game. Gu Yueshuang didn't hesitate to click on the report button: "Playing the game passively and insulting teammates, I suggest that the account be banned."
I was still angry after reporting it, and couldn't understand why I only met people like this in the secondary league.
Lin Yanqiu smiled and said, "Save the video. I'll report it to the authorities for you. Go to sleep."
Gu Yueshuang stood up and stretched, then said, "Just ask Xu Qing to put the drink on my desk. I'll drink it when I wake up."
"good."
On the day of playing against the FJ team, all five members of the FJ team came to visit their lounge.
Xu Qing immediately chased them away: "Get lost! Are you ready to come and gank us?"
Wang Huaining smiled and went inside: "What are you afraid of? I heard you guys are gay too."
Gu Yueshuang immediately denied it and said seriously, "We are not at all, very straight - if you say anything nonsense again, I will personally throw you out."
Several people obviously didn't believe how much strength her small body could have, and they all smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Lin Yanqiu held Gu Yueshuang's shoulders and said, "Call the security first. Wait until we win the game before you take action, otherwise they will blame us for the real-life PK if we lose."
Chi Nan subconsciously hid behind Xia Yan and spoke incoherently: "Don't talk nonsense, how could we lose?"
Gan Xu: "Exactly. We didn't lose to the surfing team—these guys are so cocky. They'll bash us up online again and again before you agree to their next deal. They're so mean and difficult to deal with."
Shi Wei waited until they finished their banter, then took out the gift box and said, "Don't get me wrong, we're here for diplomacy. Today is our team's theme day, and we're here to give gifts."
There are nothing but some team uniforms and team peripherals inside.
In order to show the friendship between teams, they usually take group photos and post them on social platforms.
After the POG team finished their business, Gu Yueshuang asked, "Will we be severely criticized if we lose on the theme day?"
Lin Yanqiu: “Yes.”
Gu Yueshuang nodded meaningfully and said, "Then they are finished."
The FJ team members had not actually gone far. The POG lounge was sparsely populated and the door was open, so the conversations echoed and reverberated, making it difficult for them not to hear.
But at this time, I can only pretend that I didn’t hear it. I can’t go back and argue with them, right?
That's too embarrassing.
Gu Yueshuang didn't really know much about the various LPL activities, so she asked, "What is the team theme day?"
Xu Qing explained, "It's the team's special business day. There will be some activities and performances. It usually happens once a season. I'm afraid 90% of the people attending this event are their fans."
Gu Yueshuang understood.
In fact, she is used to it.
After all, they are new players on a new team and don't have many fans, so when they perform extreme operations, the audience is quiet, but when they are killed, there are always loud cheers.
It just so happened that the display screen in the lounge was showing the audience entering.
Gu Yueshuang stretched out her hand and chanted a spell in a formal manner, then waved her hand and said, "I will silence you immediately."
She turned back to her teammates and said, "I have a feeling I can stack the Book of Death to 25 today."
"So confident?"
Xu Qing was surprised, and then he looked at Lin Yanqiu and Gu Yang suspiciously, and said, "There's no four-protecting-one midfielder today..."
Gu Yueshuang's eyebrows curved: "It's okay, I won't die."
She patted Zhou Yao's shoulder again and said, "Just deal with it today, and I'll carry you."
The Book of Death, formerly known as Mejia's Soul-Stealing Scroll, can stack 4 layers of buffs for each kill, and 2 layers of buffs for assists, providing spell power and movement speed, and can be stacked up to 25 layers.
But once you die, you will immediately drop 10 levels.
If you are confident that you can suppress the opponent's mid laner, the Book of Death is a very cost-effective equipment.
But at the same time, it is also very risky. Once you fall to level zero, it is equivalent to losing a piece of equipment.
You may work hard for dozens of minutes, but end up back to where you were before liberation overnight.
People who use it to equip are generally extremely confident. Gu Yueshuang used it when she was ranking and when she first played in the professional league. But after she died more often and the fate of the whole team was in her hands, she was not so confident anymore and had to get some more cost-effective equipment.
She was unusually confident today, so she was ready to take out this equipment again.
Gu Yueshuang was particularly cheerful today and said, "The 25th floor of the Book of Murder can turn this place into a quiet library, right?"
Lin Yanqiu curled his lips: "I think it's okay."
The author has something to say: We POGs love to rob the rich and help the poor (not really)
