Chapter 37 Period



POG's last regular season game of the spring season is at 3 pm.

Normally, there are two regular season games a day, one at 5:00 and one at 7:00, but at the end of the schedule, in order to make time for the playoffs, a game at 3:00 will also be scheduled.

Gu Yueshuang yawned sleepily, her eyes half-closed: "This is the first time I've gotten up so early to come to the venue."

Normally, the earliest the competition starts is five o'clock, but today it starts at three o'clock, and she is worried that she won't be able to adjust to the situation.

As usual, she took a nap during her makeup time. When she opened her eyes again, she found that Lin Yanqiu had been staring at her without saying a word.

Gu Yueshuang wondered: "What's wrong?"

Lin Yanqiu pointed at the mirror and let her look at herself.

She looked at the mirror blankly and was stunned.

Today, the makeup artist took advantage of her sleep and painted her lips with big red and even put on eye shadow. She looked a bit seductive, like a charming enchantress.

Lin Yanqiu stared at her for a long time, and the more he looked, the more he felt that she looked like a girl.

But when he thought about how he was always called pretty and porcelain doll when he was a child, he thought that no boy would like such comments. So he swallowed all these thoughts silently.

Gu Yueshuang looked at the cosmetics on the table that had not been put away yet, and applied her lipstick and eye shadow herself. She also picked out a contouring powder in an everyday color to fill in the edges of her face, making her look a lot tougher. In a few seconds, she transformed from a charming little beauty into a naive young boy.

After she finished, she remembered that Lin Yanqiu was sitting next to her. She coughed awkwardly and said, "The makeup artist was teasing me, and you didn't even remind me."

"I just got here." Lin Yanqiu briefly explained, then pointed at the makeup brush in her hand and asked, "Why are you so skilled?"

Gu Yueshuang: “…”

It’s over, the truth is about to be revealed, what should I do?

An idea struck her, and she lied casually: "I have a sister who loves beauty. When she was little, she often had to perform on stage..."

Lin Yanqiu nodded without further investigation.

Just then, the makeup artist came back and saw that she was awake. She smiled and said hello: "Hey, you're awake? Are you satisfied with the makeup I put on you?"

Gu Yueshuang was embarrassed: "Sister..."

The makeup artist then noticed that her makeup had changed: "Did you ask someone else to change it for you? Haha, I won't tease you next time. It actually looks pretty good that way. If you want to dress up as a woman someday, you can ask me to do your makeup for you."

Lin Yanqiu stood between them calmly and said, "Please don't tease our team members. There won't be any women's clothing."

The makeup artist scoffed disapprovingly and said, "Don't speak too soon. There are many contestants who dress like women just for traffic."

"He can say whatever he wants, and it has nothing to do with you. If you do this again next time, I will complain." Gu Yueshuang smiled at her, pulled Lin Yanqiu up and left.

Lin Yanqiu guessed that Gu Yueshuang might be unhappy, so he comforted her, "Don't take it to heart, you're such a good person."

Gu Yueshuang thought about it and felt something was wrong, so she went back to the makeup artist and asked, "Did you take a photo? Delete it."

The makeup artist denied it: "What are you talking about? How could I possibly take this photo?"

Gu Yueshuang said confidently, "Then I'll contact the staff to check the surveillance footage for proof."

The makeup artist stared at her for two seconds, then reluctantly compromised: "Okay, I'll delete it in front of you, okay?"

Lin Yanqiu: "Please delete the cloud storage file as well."

Makeup artist: “…”

Lin Yanqiu added, "This is the only time he wore heavy makeup. If I see any pictures of it online, I'll pin it on you. Please be careful."

The makeup artist was furious, but couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only accept the defeat.

The two men watched her delete various photos before returning to the lounge.

Lin Yanqiu asked: "Do you want to complain?"

Gu Yueshuang shook her head: "No, if you push it too far, it will turn into a mad dog and bite people indiscriminately."

And it's really not a big mistake, just a warning will be enough.

Xu Qing saw that the two people looked unhappy and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yueshuang put it simply: "The makeup artist drew on my face while I was sleeping."

Xu Qing understood immediately: "That makeup artist really likes to talk nonsense. I'm always afraid to see her."

Gu Yueshuang: "Ah?"

She always sleeps and doesn't even know how many makeup artists there are in the alliance.

Xu Qing hesitated to speak: "Well... Anyway, she likes to talk nonsense, so it's best not to offend her."

Gu Yueshuang: "What if I've already offended you?"

Zhou Yao wondered: "Are you afraid of offending people?"

Gu Yueshuang waved her hands: "I'm not afraid. When the team leader defended me, I also said a few words to her... Will she hold a grudge against me?"

Lin Yanqiu: "It's okay, she doesn't dare to say it."

Fang Butao asked the reason and said, "I'll go and help you solve it."

"Oh, I forgot I could still order Brother Tao around."

"Thank you, Brother Tao."

A few people chatted briefly and discussed the situation of today's game.

"Today's opponent will definitely fight hard to win."

Gu Yueshuang: "Hmm?"

Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "It's like catching up on homework on the last day of a long vacation. If they win today, we still have a chance to make the playoffs, but if they lose, we'll just have vacation until the summer."

Just like making up homework, if you try hard, you still have a chance to finish it before dawn. If you just lie down and sleep, you will definitely be scolded when school starts.

Gu Yueshuang asked, "Can they enter if they win?"

Lin Yanqiu: "Not necessarily. It also depends on the attitude of the other teams."

Now at the end of the season, except for the teams that are sure to make the playoffs and have been eliminated, the remaining mid-level teams are in a panic. They all have a chance to make the playoffs, but they only have a glimmer of hope.

Whether POG wins or loses today, it will not affect their own quota, but it will affect the ranking relationship between eighth and tenth place.

Although they seem to be close together, in fact only the eighth place can enter the playoffs.

Gu Yueshuang sighed, "It turns out that I can only feel at ease if I hold my destiny in my own hands."

Xu Qing smiled: "We were still practicing the lineup earlier. It's really brave when you think about it."

Gu Yueshuang: "If we don't practice more lineups, how are we going to cope with the playoffs? We'll have to play BO5s then."

BO5, best of five games.

The regular season is BO3, best of three games, so the psychological pressure is not that great, and there is still another game to go if you lose this one.

However, playing a full five rounds of a BO5 is very physically and mentally draining. Furthermore, if you lose, you're eliminated immediately, which puts a lot of psychological pressure on you.

What's more, every second of the game requires concentration, which is a huge test for every player.

Gu Yueshuang stretched her muscles and said, "Let's play aggressively today and make a quick decision. The elderly man in the top lane might want to go back and rest early."

Zhou Yao chased her out: "I'm going to beat you to death, you little bastard!"

Xu Qing shook his head and sighed: "I'm really not nervous at all."

Qin Ye: "It's someone else's life and death situation."

It's not POG, what's there to be nervous about?

During the draft, Gu Yang gave them some psychological support, saying, "From now on, every game we play will be a win if we win, and no loss if we lose."

Gu Yueshuang: "It's still a loss. If I win a few more games, I can get a few more MVPs. Isn't there an award? It's given to the player with the most regular season MVPs..."

Zhou Yao: "You still want to win the MVP with me here?"

Xu Qing repeated, "You still want to win the MVP with me here?"

Gu Yueshuang raised her hand directly: "Referee, I suspect that the two of them want to fix the match and are actually ready to start playing tricks on me."

Xu Qing: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not saying I don't have it! I'm saying I want to grab that MVP award!"

Gu Yueshuang snorted coldly: "Go back and tell Brother Hei this again, and see if he believes it."

Xu Qing: “…”

Seeing that the referee hadn't come over, Zhou Yao patted his chest with a lingering fear: "I almost lost my reputation..."

The more Xu Qing thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and said, "Referee! He's messing with his teammates' mentality! Should he be fined?"

"Stop it, stop it!" Gu Yang was embarrassed. After yelling at them, he turned around and explained to the referee, "I'm sorry, kids, you were just playing around..."

The referee smiled and said he didn't mind.

Gu Yang took a pen and knocked on their heads one by one: "You know that there are some jokes that can't be made casually!"

Qin Ye, who was innocently caught in the crossfire: "I didn't..."

He obviously did nothing, didn't even say a word!

The camera captured the entire scene, and the commentator wondered, "Is this POG's special way of refueling?"

Fans who usually hang out in the live broadcast room can see it at a glance - it must be these guys who are in trouble again.

Mature fans have already started asking for behind-the-scenes footage on the official Weibo account.

Gu Yang: "Play well. Don't give them any hope. Let them prepare for the summer season as soon as possible."

In the first game, Gu Yueshuang took out Zoe, her own jungler Jarvan stayed in the bottom lane, and the opposing jungler Kindred stayed in the top lane.

The kills of both sides were very synchronized. Basically, every time the opponent's AD died, POG's top laner died simultaneously.

Zhou Yao tried very hard to operate, and even wanted to show off his skills, but he was always just a little short of success. He felt it was a pity to die every time, but he was finally sure that this was the best he could do.

While the upper and lower lanes were frantically ganking or defending against ganks, Gu Yueshuang's Zoe developed quietly.

Gu Yueshuang: "Han Bing, let's see where the opposing jungler is."

"good."

Lin Yanqiu didn't ask her what she was doing. He directly used the E skill to release a falcon spirit to scan the wild area and look for people.

The light briefly illuminated the opposing jungler Kindred, but soon disappeared from POG's sight.

Xu Qing warned: "He has big and small moves, so be careful."

Zhou Yao was about to hang up under the tower when he saw Zoe's build and was shocked: "Why did you build the Book of Death directly?"

Zoe is still 0-0-0, with the Book of Death at level 0, which is the same as if she hadn't gotten it yet.

Gu Yueshuang didn't care: "It's okay, there will be more layers soon."

She skillfully avoided the opponent's field of vision, estimated Kindred's location, and intuitively threw a hypnotic bubble towards a dark jungle area, successfully putting Kindred to sleep. She reacted extremely quickly and directly pulled the flying star to kill Kindred.

The opposing jungler was probably a bit confused. Even with his ultimate and flash, he was killed instantly before he could react. And it was a big head with a bounty.

It is equivalent to giving Gu Yueshuang a big piece of equipment for free.

"Wow……"

Xu Qing and Zhou Yao exclaimed at the same time.

Especially Zhou Yao, he knew how many kills this jungler had gotten from him and how many platings he had taken, so he knew how fat this jungler was.

Xu Qing wondered: "How did you do it in seconds?"

Gu Yueshuang: "He didn't use mercury, so he probably didn't expect to be taken away by me in one move."

Mercury's Treads can be controlled in seconds.

Three seconds later, the audience finally saw Zoe instantly kill Kindred, and the audience's unanimous "Wow" sound still reached the players' noise-canceling headphones.

The official replay of this scene from Gu Yueshuang's perspective was quickly released, and the audience discovered that Frost had actually cast the hypnotic bubble while blind! Another round of "Wows" came into the players' headphones.

Xu Qing: "It's over. This is a heart-breaking act. The opponent's mentality is about to collapse."

Not only was he defeated in seconds, but the audience also exclaimed "Wow" twice in a row.

Zhou Yao thought about it and sadly realized that he might not be able to do this operation anymore. He couldn't help but sigh: "I'm getting old."

Gu Yueshuang: "I'm not old. The end of one journey means the beginning of another. Come on."

Zhou Yao smiled and said, "Just don't think I'm a rip-off."

Xu Qing was speechless for a moment before he said, "I said that once our bottom lane developed, we could help the top lane get revenge. But why did you develop the mid lane first?"

Lin Yanqiu: "I'm still five hundred steps away from endless."

When he plays Iceborne, he usually buys Infinity Edge as the third piece of equipment. For him, having Infinity Edge is the end of the game.

Zhou Yao laughed: "The lower midfielder will definitely be given a training session."

In this game, the opponent let the mid laner do everything, but the mid laner developed horribly. Both the mechanics and basic last-hitting skills were terrifying.

Qin Ye always felt that Gu Yueshuang's last hit count was not right, so he asked, "Did you kill any wild monsters?"

Gu Yueshuang admitted frankly: "I ate it."

She destroyed everything close to her in the wild areas on both sides.

Several times, the opponent thought she was going to roam and signaled to be careful, but Gu Yueshuang ended up stealing wild monsters.

As a result, when the opponent let down their guard against her, she stole Kindred.

From the moment Kindred died, the situation completely turned to POG's side.

After controlling the small dragon, control the big dragon, and the jungle mission is completed;

AD has Infinity Edge and has developed into a complete team;

The mid laner has the Book of Death and has developed into a full-fledged team.

Gu Yueshuang's Zoe skills are perfect. As long as she finds someone alone, she can basically kill him in one move, and the Book of Death can add four more layers.

POG did not leave any chance for the opponent to come back and ended the game cleanly and neatly.

The MVP is undoubtedly Gu Yueshuang's Zoe.

The second game may also be the last game of POG's regular season.

The opponent banned Zoe right away.

Zhou Yao laughed: "You've traumatized them."

Gu Yueshuang thought for a moment and asked, "Can I choose Annie?"

The remaining five people almost turned to look at her in disbelief: "Annie?!"

Gu Yueshuang said with reason: "Yes, there must be a beginning and an end."

Her season began with Anne and should end with Anne.

Lin Yanqiu: "The spring season isn't over yet, there's still the playoffs."

Gu Yueshuang smiled and nodded: "I know, the playoffs are a new chapter."

Lin Yanqiu hesitated for two seconds and then interceded, "Let's go with Annie. Even if we lose this game, there's still a third one. Even if we lose everything, it won't affect us much."

Gu Yang thought for a moment and asked them, "Does anyone else have any objections? If even one person has an objection, we won't choose them."

Qin Ye: "I have no objection."

Xu Qing thought about it and realized that Gu Yueshuang’s Annie was quite carry in the qualifying matches, although she didn’t appear many times.

So he nodded: "I think it's okay."

Without waiting for Zhou Yao to speak, Gu Yueshuang said directly: "Alright, I won't take up your place, I'll choose last."

No one will ban Annie anyway.

Gu Yang was worried: "You have never cooperated."

Gu Yueshuang: "Just like Zoe, I have a kill line in my mind. After it is formed, I can kill the lone enemy by myself, and I can also have more bears to help you defend the tower."

Seeing how confident she was, Gu Yang agreed to her choice, thinking that it would have no impact on their points and subsequent development.

When the camera locked onto Annie, there was another round of "Wow" from the audience.

Xu Qing: "Please ask the midlaner to reflect on why the audience all said 'wow' today."

Gu Yueshuang thought for a moment and asked, "Because the tadpoles grew up and turned into frogs?"

Everyone: “…”

What a cold joke.

After Gu Yang returned to the lounge, he still couldn't understand: "Why is she so obsessed with Annie?"

Fang Butao said: "It's so that Zhou Yao can retire with peace of mind."

Gu Yang: "Ah?"

Fang Butao explained: "Zhou Yao had chosen her for Annie in the first set, and she performed poorly. It was obvious she had made the wrong choice. Once she performed well later on, everyone would have put the blame on Zhou Yao. But if she had performed well in this set, the audience would have mistakenly thought she was just nervous about her debut, and that we had originally chosen Annie, but she just didn't play well."

——And this is a good opportunity to clear my reputation.

As long as she wins this game, at least she can say that she has made great progress. Compared with the Anne in the first game, the current Anne has made rapid progress.

Gu Yang was speechless.

This was the last game where she could act according to her own will, so she insisted on picking Annie in the last game of the regular season.

Because every game in the playoffs is crucial, there will be no such insignificant situations for her to practice.

Fang Butao sighed and said, "How come you're so young yet still carrying such a heavy burden?"

Gu Yang: “…”

How would he know?

At the start of this game, Xu Qing first placed a ward in the middle lane bushes and said, "Be careful, they're going to give you a hard time this game."

He carried too much in the last game, and in this game he chose Annie, who was a poor player in the version. It would be strange if he didn't get caught and collapsed.

Gu Yueshuang: "It's okay, I can just survive until level 6. The jungler should keep an eye on me in the early stages."

Lin Yanqiu: "EZ can also provide remote support."

Gu Yueshuang: "...You are level six, so am I not level six too?"

Lin Yanqiu hesitated for two seconds and said, "I will try my best to push the bottom lane."

Three minutes into the game, when Gu Yueshuang was half-blood, the opposing jungler came to gank the mid laner. Gu Yueshuang had anticipated this and went back to the tower. However, the jungler actually flashed into the tower without any soldiers entering the tower to get the kill.

Gu Yueshuang moved to avoid his skills, but she couldn't dodge his normal attacks, and eventually died together with the opponent's jungler under the tower.

Gu Yueshuang bought some cloth shoes and went online, sighing, "What a huge grudge... Is it necessary to come over the tower and kill me so early?"

Fortunately, the tower had defensive protection in the first six minutes, so the first layer of plating would not be eaten so quickly.

Gu Yueshuang struggled to reach level six by farming minions under the tower.

After the opponent went over the tower once, he didn't dare to advance again, thinking that it was too much of a loss to exchange kills with Annie.

Gu Yueshuang said to herself: "If you don't take risks, I will."

As he said that, he called out to the jungler, "Come to mid. I'll smash the bear into his face and either force him to dodge or kill him immediately."

Xu Qing: "Young man, are you very arrogant?"

Gu Yueshuang: "Isn't it? My Annie is already formed at level 6, and I will make the Book of Death when I get home."

Lin Yanqiu: "...There's no need to be so arrogant."

As soon as she finished speaking, Annie killed the opponent's mid laner.

Gu Yueshuang: "Now you can show off the murder book."

Everyone: “…”

He talks a lot, but in fact he still buys the rocket belt first to give himself more damage.

The second item is the Book of Death - but it's also very expansive.

Xu Qing: "Didn't you mention the murder book?"

Gu Yueshuang's face was serious: "You don't understand, with the Rocket Belt you can go over the tower and kill people instantly."

Xu Qing looked at her single-digit level and fell silent.

You're so inflated before you even reach level ten?

After all, they're a bunch of pro players! Are they going to let you be slaughtered so easily? Do you think they're just training mode dummy players?

The result is true.

Seeing that the opponent was half-dead, Gu Yueshuang flashed over, rolled the keyboard, and used the rocket belt to kill the person instantly. After getting the kill, she took off immediately and was one level ahead of the opponent's mid laner.

After eating all the plating he could, he finished replenishing the mid lane soldiers and went shopping in the opposite jungle.

Xu Qing: "Come back, that's the opposite jungle, not your home."

As she was speaking, Gu Yueshuang ran head-on into the opposing jungler. Gu Yueshuang didn't hesitate to smash the bear directly into the opponent's face, and killed the opponent instantly with a set of skills.

Xu Qing was stunned: "What kind of injury did you suffer? It's a bit scary..."

Gu Yueshuang: "To be honest, I'm lucky..."

At the beginning of the game, the opposing jungler gave her a kill, and then the mid laner gave her some plating, which allowed her to take off immediately, and she played even better than in the ranking.

She just took the enemy jungler's head, went to their jungle to eat the blue buff, and then used their blue buff to attack their mid laner...

bully.

bandit.

Zhou Yao was stunned for a moment before finding the right words to say, "Are you treating the opposing jungler like a monster?"

Gu Yueshuang thought about it and found that he was quite right: "It's true. A group of wild monsters has four swords, and he just has four layers of the Book of Death."

Gu Yueshuang: "When my bear cooldown is over, I will come to the bottom lane to cross the tower."

As he was speaking, the opposing jungler had just resurrected and came online, and was caught by Gu Yueshuang again. He thought she would be easy to kill without a bear, but who knew that Annie's damage was still unreasonable, and she reduced his health to a sliver with just a few skills.

Xu Qing looked at his AD with a look of disappointment: "Just now we were talking about remote support, but now we are the ones being supported."

Lin Yanqiu was very comfortable eating soft rice: "Very good."

He paused and asked again: "Do you know why I chose EZ?"

Xu Qing: "Why?"

"Ultimates can grab kills." He said, and unleashed a powerful move upwards. Unfortunately, the kill was taken by Gu Yueshuang. However, the ultimate move hit the cannon cart in the top lane. Lin Yanqiu added calmly, "And the cannon cart."

Zhou Yao: “…………”

But what did he do wrong?

Gu Yueshuang started with Annie and ended with MVP Annie with a full level of Book of Death. The regular season of the entire spring game was finally over.

From being booed by the audience to being wowed by the audience, Gu Yueshuang finally felt that changing public opinion was quite fulfilling.

She couldn't remember whose light boards and cheers were in the audience when she first came, but today there were many POG cheers in the audience.

The only thing that remained constant throughout was that she had to be cautious whenever lucky fans came on stage to shake hands and take photos.

Who knows if they'll suddenly kiss me - these guys are pretty perverted.

Gu Yueshuang sent the last period on Weibo, then put away her phone and began the last post-match group interview of the regular season.

The reporter asked, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​choosing Anne?"

Gu Yueshuang smiled and said, "Don't forget your original intention."

Annie was the first hero she started playing the game and also the first hero she played in the LPL arena.

It's quite a coincidence.

On the way back to the base, she kept flipping through her phone.

Xu Qing asked cautiously, "You're not looking at the forum again, are you?"

Gu Yueshuang: "No, I'm looking through my 19 spring Weibo posts."

After every game, regardless of winning or losing, she has to put a period on it. This is all the kindness and malice she has faced since joining the LPL.

She can even point to the comments and say with a smile, "Look, in the first comment, he scolded me the most, but now he's become my biggest fan, praising me so much that I feel embarrassed."

Lin Yanqiu asked, "Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

Xu Qing answered for her directly: "Of course, our Brother Shuang is awesome. He can turn haters into die-hard fans."

Zhou Yao was still immersed in shock. "I'm not saying anything, but your proficiency in Annie is too high. How many times have you secretly practiced?"

The next day, the latest Weibo post by Jutiao was full of complaints—

After watching your match yesterday, I played ten games of Annie and didn't win a single one. Now I've been demoted. How are you going to compensate me?

What's going on? It's all been Annie since last night. I'm about to throw up. I haven't seen many winners.

[Brother Frost is awesome! He's created an Annie craze in the Rift, dropping Annie's win rate by two points! I've never seen such an exaggeratedly bad hero played by so many people. Tell me the truth, did you cheat or secretly manipulate your stats yesterday?]

[Please come out and say something. Tell them that Annie is useless and that you are awesome!]

Gu Yueshuang was amused. She showed the comment to Lin Yanqiu and said, "Look at my first Weibo comment and this one, and you'll know how great this sense of accomplishment is."

Lin Yanqiu remained silent.

He couldn't feel the sense of accomplishment that Gu Yueshuang talked about, he just felt heartache.

An underage child was maliciously targeted as soon as he entered the LPL.

Did you curl up in the quilt and cry at that time?

Lin Yanqiu stood up, gave Gu Yueshuang a silent hug, and patted her back gently: "It's okay, it's all over."

Gu Yueshuang: “……!!!”

The author has something to say: Brother Shuang originally wanted to give him a shoulder throw subconsciously, but then he thought, this is a sick patient, what if he falls and ends up in the hospital? They don’t have a substitute.

Thanks to POG's poverty for saving Xiaolin's life (not really)

This chapter earned 6,800! There will be another 3,000 at midnight, so my 10,000 mark today didn't fall!
