Chapter 56 Article 2



[Brothers, shocking news—POG's two Cs are actually shopping]

[Picture][Picture][Picture]

[Before clicking here, I thought shopping was weird, but when I clicked in, I realized they were actually shopping for cosmetics??]

[Hey, are you buying cosmetics too?]

[The person above is obviously single, and the poster is obviously shopping with his girlfriend.]

[Yes, I was shocked for a long time when I saw the POG double C from afar. I couldn't believe it, so I just kept staring at them, nodding my head at everything my girlfriend said. As a result, my credit card was maxed out. Poor OP. How are you two going to pay me back for what you owe me, FF?!]

[FF hahaha, Forest and Frost? Add an F and it's FFF. Burning couple dogs is normal (doge), so can we find another player starting with F? Let's form a singles alliance.]

[Wait! Let's not get off topic! Two grown men shopping in a cosmetics mall—one of them must be in love!]

The poster tearfully posted another set of photos, explaining: "They spent a really long time here and bought a lot of stuff. Xiaolin was the main buyer, while Shuang sat nearby, looking hopeless, acting as a color tester. His expression was exactly the same as mine when I was shopping with my girlfriend."

[Wait? So Kobayashi is in love?]

[Why is Brother Shuang's expression so funny? Hahahaha! The Shuang Love Alliance strongly condemns this!]

[The angle you took the photo from seems abnormal.]

The original poster continued her post. [Later, Xiaolin went to look at perfumes. Shuangshuang called her mom and apparently bought two lipsticks and mailed them to her? I wasn't eavesdropping on her! I wanted an autograph and a photo, but I didn't dare approach them. They both had a pretty strong aura, so I didn't dare approach them. I don't know why, but maybe Shuangshuang looked too fierce that day?]

[But isn't it Intercontinental Championship season? Instead of preparing for the competition, they're actually going shopping? Aren't they using a shopping agent?]

[So the question is, is Xiaolin in love? ]

How long have they been here? I ran into them in the snack area on the second floor when I went there that afternoon. They bought tons of snacks.

[It seems like they're buying something for the team. Didn't someone bump into Yang Chi at the hotel entrance? Didn't Yang Chi even boast that the cookies in his hand were bought for him by Shuang Ge?]

[Forget snacks, but you're buying cosmetics for a bunch of grown men? Are you kidding me?]

They seem to be ordering a lot of takeout lately. Are their lifestyle habits okay? I feel like everyone's going to gain ten pounds after the Intercontinental Championship.

[To clarify, I wasn't doing anything else. I probably left on the day I first arrived at the hotel. I had half a day off, so I started training that evening.]

[After someone mentioned this, I checked their rank records. It seems Yan Che hasn't played in any scrimmages?]

[No way? GGB isn't going to use the Intercontinental Tournament to train new players, right?]

【Frost beat back the mid laner? 】

[What the hell is that mid laner? Is that just a lie? He hasn't been playing well since last year and should have retired long ago.]

[I don't know which sourpuss is criticizing Yan Che, but regardless of honors or strength, Yan Che is a top-tier mid laner, no problem, right?]

[It's just YC's fans who are just praising him. Isn't it always him who causes problems at critical moments?]

Soon the two groups were arguing fiercely, causing the post [POG Double C Shopping] to remain on the homepage.

All the teams preparing for the Intercontinental Championship fell silent when they saw the news.

When Gu Yueshuang saw this, her fists hardened: "I knew I would be tricked, but I didn't expect it to be this way."

This matter is not a big deal at the moment, and Yan Che cannot retire at this juncture - he has to wait until the summer season or even the world championship is over before he can announce his retirement.

After all, he is a veteran player of GGB. Retirement at this time will only shake the morale of the team.

So GGB is going to take a cold approach.

"So...Captain Lin is in love?"

Lu Cheng's eyes were filled with suspicion. These guys in POG were all RANK maniacs. With all the RANKing going on, how could they still find time for a relationship? Aren't they modern-day masters of time management?

Xu Qing suddenly realized: "No wonder he bought so many snacks for Brother Shuang. Did he ask Brother Shuang to help cover for him?"

Zhou Yao slapped him and said, "Get lost! You ate most of it. You have to take care of Hei Ge's walks for at least a month when you get back, right?"

Chi Nan complained, "I don't know which of your two teams is causing trouble for whom."

Gu Yueshuang: "Don't think about these things. Play well in the Intercontinental Championship. If we don't play well, we will be greeted with rotten eggs."

Everyone immediately became serious: "What are the arrangements for today's training match?"

In the group stage of the Intercontinental Championship, LPL played very smoothly. Soon it will be the final of the Intercontinental Championship, where LPL will play against LCK. Today's BO5 game will determine whether these four teams will be pelted with bad eggs in the next two months.

The four teams gathered together in the lounge, which looked like a classroom during recess, with people everywhere.

Lu Cheng looked at the POG members, all of whom were wearing no makeup, and wondered, "Why aren't you wearing makeup?"

Zhou Yao was shocked: "You can see that?"

Gu Yueshuang pointed at her own face and said, "It's melted, really. Only smart people can see it."

Lu Cheng: “…”

Chi Nan heard the news and took action: "Won't you be warned if you don't wear makeup? I will report you."

Gu Yueshuang argued confidently: "Then it seems that you are a fool. You can't even see the makeup on my face."

Chi Nan: “…”

He said this with such confidence that Chi Nan was almost fooled.

"Let me perform a magic trick for you. Captain Xiaolin, lend me your face for a moment." Gu Yueshuang took out an eyebrow pencil from her pocket and drew two strokes on Lin Yanqiu's face. "Look, is it made-up? It feels like makeup all of a sudden."

Chi Nan murmured: "It seems to be true...but why do you carry a pencil with you?"

Xu Qing came over with a tattoo of the POG team logo and asked them, "What are you doing? Do you want to put the logo on your face? Then they can all show off their logos, and we can only show off our faces."

Gu Yueshuang was quite interested and asked, "Can I have two? I want to put one on the back of my hand as well."

Xu Qing: "Sure. How many slices would you like, Xiaolin?"

Lin Yanqiu: "Give me two slices too."

Chi Nan's eyes were a little sore, and he asked his manager: "Why doesn't our team have it?"

Xu Qing reminded his double C: "Stick it on for a while longer, I'm afraid it will get damaged. Brother Tao said it was a test print, if it's pasted crookedly there won't be much left for you."

After Gu Yueshuang put it on, she looked in the mirror with satisfaction and said, "Look, isn't this considered makeup?"

The other team members who witnessed the whole process: "..."

Why do I feel a little envious and jealous?

Chi Nan: "That's it?"

Gu Yueshuang said confidently: "What else? Isn't it just makeup if there are decorations on the face? And we are naturally beautiful, you can't envy us."

Chi Nan: “…”

Feeling contained.

After a while, the camera came in to shoot behind-the-scenes footage of their lounge. Gu Yueshuang made a face at the camera and ran away.

Chi Nan didn't run away. He pointed at Gu Yueshuang's back in front of the camera and said, "Look at these childish POGs! I'm different. I'm mature."

Gu Yueshuang's voice appeared on camera: "Indeed, a 75-year-old mid laner—do you think you can look younger by dyeing your hair black?"

Chi Nan's expression changed immediately after hearing that. He rolled up his sleeves and chased after the boy, ignoring the sign on the wall that said "No chasing or fighting allowed" and started to act like a childish elementary school student chasing after him.

Everyone: “…”

Who said he was mature just now?

With about an hour left before the opening ceremony, several coaches painstakingly got the group of naughty children to sit down in the lounge and said, "Stop running around and get ready for the opening ceremony."

The four teams sat together, and Gu Yueshuang could clearly feel that the players of the SC team were extremely nervous.

Gu Yueshuang asked: "Is this your first time playing in the Intercontinental Championship?"

SC Team: “…”

You speak as if you are not.

Lu Cheng: "It seems like the show won't start for another hour."

"Come on, everyone stand up. Let's play a little game. There are so many of us..." Gu Yueshuang first pulled a few people around to stand up, thought for two seconds and said, "Let's play a word game. From now on, you can't say the words 'you, me, and him/her'. If you say it, you will get two strokes. Do you know what getting two strokes means?"

The boys suddenly became excited. It didn’t matter what game they played, as long as they could beat people reasonably.

"There are many of us, so anyone who doesn't speak within 20 seconds will be hit. Everyone should supervise each other." Gu Yueshuang clapped her hands suddenly, "Now the game begins--"

Lu Minghao asked, "Who will be the referee?"

Xu Qing looked suspicious: "Are you trying to lie to me..."

Everyone looked at him with a sly smile on their faces, and Xu Qing realized that something was wrong.

Gu Yueshuang waved her hand: "Lu Minghao, hit... that person twice! Use more force!"

As she spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief and almost said "TA".

This game is about talking more and making more mistakes, but you can't stop talking, but it can help everyone relieve emotions.

Lin Yanqiu asked, "Would you like some milk tea to replenish your energy? Who's ordering takeout?"

Gu Yueshuang's eyes rolled around: "The next person who commits a foul should go and ask their coach to treat them."

Lin Yanqiu prompted: "Twenty seconds..."

The group of people instantly became nervous, talking nonsense at once, and the lounge was as chaotic as a vegetable market. After a while, they rushed to report -

"I'm reporting it! He just said—"

"Let's smoke together. It's against the rules."

Fang Butao's ears hurt from the noise of these kids, and he whispered to Gu Yang, "Give me a raise, or I won't work."

Gu Yang was also getting a headache from the noise and said, "I'm going out to get some fresh air."

Fang Butao held the camera helplessly, but unfortunately he still had to shoot materials and couldn't run away.

Sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone, so Fang Butao decided to let everyone experience what he was feeling now.

A short while later, POG's official Weibo account uploaded a behind-the-scenes video: "Please turn up the volume to maximum."

Three seconds later, many viewers whose ears were hurt by the explosion left messages saying: "Pay my ears [smile]"

【Why are these people so noisy? 】

I couldn't hear a single word. It was too noisy.

I thought GGB's mic was already loud, but this is ten times louder...

I believed you! I actually turned up the volume!!! And then my mom just asked me what went off.

Two minutes later, the staff knocked on the door: "Excuse me, is there something wrong here?"

Unfortunately, the contestants were still vying to speak, and no one heard what she said at all.

The staff, helpless, borrowed a loud speaker and shouted, "I hope everyone can talk things over nicely! If you have any opinions, you can raise them with the officials. Please don't protest before the game!"

The contestants fell silent at the same time, looking towards the door in confusion.

What did she say? Protest? Who protested?

The staff member tried to force a kind smile and asked, "What happened? We can help you solve it."

Yang Chi was clueless: "Could this be someone hired by Brother Shuang? Everyone will be beaten for not speaking up, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the locker room instantly turned into a vegetable market and the contestants started screaming.

Staff: “…”

Gu Yang was helpless. He found some gongs and drums from somewhere and banged them twice to quiet everyone down. He said, "Come out and get ready to go on stage. Don't attract the LCK players here."

Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down and said at the same time that the game was over.

Then everyone helped each other to tidy up their posture, as if they were not the ones who had just screamed.

After a while, dozens of contestants seemed to have their own BGM of "Superstar" and walked out like big guys going out on the street.

As expected, when they arrived at the stage, they found that the LCK players were looking at them with confusion, probably because they were annoyed by their noise.

Gu Yueshuang stretched out her wrist and complained, "My hand is red."

In fact, she was not beaten much, but her wrists were too white, so the redness was particularly hideous and obvious.

"Me too--"

"I also!"

"What's that to you? Are you so anxious to reach out because you're afraid the mark will disappear soon?"

"Oh my god, I was spanked so many times, why did the marks disappear? My hands are still burning."

Gu Yang was embarrassed: "Don't let the pain in your wrist affect your performance later."

The boys' strange desire to win emerged again, and they began to show off: "This is nothing, it doesn't hurt at all, it's just like a tickle."

"Let me see which fool gets whipped the hardest."

When the LPL players took the stage, they all had more or less red marks on their hands, and the red marks were particularly obvious on some players with fair skin.

The audience looked confused, wondering if the contestants were physically punished backstage.

Yang Chi wondered, "Why? After getting beaten, he really didn't seem nervous anymore?"

Lu Cheng: "...It's probably because of the game. My attention has been diverted."

Gu Yueshuang coughed twice and said, "Everyone, be serious. Show the spirit of our LPL."

The first LPL team to play was POG, who faced the second seed of LCK, which was also the runner-up of their spring season.

Gu Yueshuang wondered, "Why can't I meet their number one seed?"

Lin Yanqiu: "The big boss might have to be saved for last."

The remaining three teams cheered them on.

Gu Yueshuang waved her hand: "Let's give everyone a good start!"

It was indeed a good start, her forearms were still red when she came on stage.

The high-definition live camera also gave her a close-up. The photographer tried hard to avoid the red marks on her forearms, but they still couldn't be accidentally captured in the shot.

I wanted to take a close-up of the tattoo on her hand, but I couldn't let the red mark on her forearm show in the shot, which was too difficult.

Domestic and foreign websites are discussing [Why did the LPL players' hands get hit? ]

The discussion even exceeded the game itself. This was originally an intercontinental competition in the Asian region, but even Europe and the United States paid attention to the red marks on the LPL's hands. For a time, there were many different opinions, and there were even many conspiracy theories and malicious speculations.

Some speculated corporal punishment, and some even speculated that the LPL teams were at odds and had a fight in the locker room.

As a result, each company received an urgent request from the alliance, asking them to edit the behind-the-scenes footage as soon as possible to clarify the matter, and to prepare subtitles in various languages, which could be assisted by official translators.

——Oh, it’s better to issue a statement first to clarify urgently.

Fang Butao held his forehead with his hand: "You really know how to make trouble for me."

Several clubs were complaining and working overtime. POG was the worst hit. Not only was Gu Yueshuang the leader of this project, but Fang Butao was the only one in charge of filming, editing, and post-production.

A few post-production staff chatted briefly and decided to collaborate on a short variety show, starting with close-ups of the nervous team members...

The contestants on stage were completely unaware of this.

Xu Qing asked: "What are the characteristics of this team?"

Lin Yanqiu: "Catch him."

Xu Qing: "Oh, so that's the team that will come to our Triangle Grass to set its sights in three minutes, right? We're done. Once they capture Qin Ye, they'll definitely leave us alone."

Gu Yueshuang had been holding a grudge for a long time: "No matter what happened, it's right to scold the jungler first."

Qin Ye: "...You are out of blue."

Gu Yueshuang: "Oh, then I'll go grab the one on the other side."

This was Gu Yueshuang's first time playing against an LCK team, and to be honest, she was a little nervous.

Gu Yueshuang sighed: "The milk tea should still be fresh when we go back later, right?"

The milk tea arrived just as they were about to go on stage, so none of the POG players got to drink it.

Gu Yueshuang suddenly thought of a serious question: "Can the lounge hear us talking?"

Everyone in the backstage lounge was shouting “yes”, but unfortunately the contestants in the competition couldn’t hear them.

Xu Qing: "Should be okay?"

Gu Yueshuang: "...Oh, then we can't say bad things about them."

Lin Yanqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is that what you're thinking about?"

Gu Yueshuang nodded and said seriously, "Yes, listen carefully, students backstage, don't eat or drink too much before the game, otherwise your reaction will be slow - I'm not exaggerating, anyway, don't eat or drink."

Gu Yang tapped her head with a pen: "Don't think about anything else, just focus."

Gu Yueshuang: “…Oh.”

Gu Yueshuang chose her forte Syndra, while the opponent chose Zoe.

Two line bullies.

Only after the laning began did Gu Yueshuang realize the seriousness of the problem: "This Zoe is so steady... This is the most steady Zoe I've ever seen. If it were an LPL player, they would come up and fight me with my positioning, but he can actually tolerate it?"

The opponent's mid laner was too steady. The two of them pushed the line in turns. Gu Yueshuang pushed the line forward, and then the opponent pushed it back. The two of them pushed back and forth without disturbing each other.

Gu Yueshuang pinched her face to sober herself up: "It's over, I seem to have been led by the other team's rhythm."

They should have been fighting, but for some reason, they suddenly started to develop peacefully.

When in doubt, he would scold the jungler: "Where's the jungler? Where's the jungler? Where's the jungler? Why don't we have any rhythm?"

Qin Ye: "...The jungler is farming."

Lu Minghao also felt melancholy: "This top laner is so stable. The main thing is that it's useless for me to suppress him..."

The opponent is a tanky Ornn. As long as his passive and ultimate are there, even if he is suppressed by thirty hits, it will not cause any impact.

Not to mention the bottom lane, because of the frequent visits of the opposing jungler, Lin Yanqiu could only hide under the tower.

If it weren't for Gu Yueshuang's strict defense in the middle lane, Lin Yanqiu might have had to face four people on two.

The current situation is not the most comfortable rhythm for both sides.

Gu Yueshuang: "Wait a minute, I have to find an opportunity."

As she spoke, she pushed the line forward and walked into the opposite jungle alone with a scan.

Lu Minghao: "Brother, wait a minute! Can you be more steady?"

Gu Yueshuang: "It's okay, if I can't find anyone, I'll just go wild and leave."

Seeing this, Qin Ye quickly PIN the assembly signal and headed towards Gu Yueshuang.

If a fight breaks out, he must be faster than the opponent's mid-lane support.

Lin Yanqiu also felt that the bottom lane was okay, so he said to Xu Qing, "You can join them, I'll carry it alone."

Xu Qing: "Okay."

Anyone who doesn't watch the LPL might be a little confused at this point. Aren't the LCK teams in a better position? Why did the LPL mid, jungle, and support just go straight into the enemy jungle? Isn't that just giving away kills?

But the LPL commentators and audience all smiled meaningfully - POG was going to cause trouble.

Gu Yueshuang successfully caught the opposing jungler in the wild area and almost killed him instantly with a set of skills, but unfortunately the damage was not enough, so the jungler used flash and ran away.

Gu Yueshuang didn't hesitate to use flash and basic attack to get the kill.

Soon, the opponent's mid laner Zoe also arrived. Gu Yueshuang's skills were on cooldown at this time, and she had little mana.

If it was a one-on-one fight, Gu Yueshuang would definitely die.

But Gu Yueshuang did not dodge or evade, because she could see that Qin Ye and Xu Qing had arrived, and now it was three of them surrounding one.

As long as Gu Yueshuang doesn't die, they will make a profit.

At the same time, Lin Yanqiu moved boldly to slow down the support speed of the opponent's bottom lane duo, buying time for his own mid, jungle and support.

In fact, Gu Yueshuang's blood line was relatively safe, but Xu Qing was afraid that Zoe's output was too high and she would be killed instantly, so he used treatment to help Gu Yueshuang raise her blood line. For a moment, Zoe was a little overwhelmed.

He originally came to collect kills, but ended up being killed by a triple-one attack from the opponent in his own jungle.

The POG team members were not greedy and would immediately scatter and flee after getting what they wanted.

This wave resulted in a zero-for-two exchange, and Gu Yueshuang was even more arrogant, returning to the city in the bushes near the first and second towers in the opposite middle lane.

This wave was a bit thrilling. Almost at the moment when she just returned to the city, the opponent's auxiliary skill explored the bush.

If the assistant had arrived half a second earlier, Gu Yueshuang might have been left behind.

The POG players were completely unaware, but the audience held their breath and were extremely nervous.

This wave really requires risk to gain wealth and fame.

Gu Yueshuang happily gave a thumbs up: "The situation has opened up. We can start snowballing if we are cautious."

After this team battle, they started a POG-style snowballing—in various resource-intensive team battles, I only killed people but didn’t steal the dragon.

If you are ready to retreat, I will chase you until you give up all thoughts of the dragon.

If you fight me, I will kill you and then kill the dragon.

POG got the LPL off to a good start with their bold and careful teamfights.

There are two international hot searches, one is #LPL team battle style#, and the other is #LPL player's arms#.

Gu Yueshuang happily returned to the lounge and asked, "Is this a compliment to me?"

Fang Butao was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and wanted to strangle these young contestants to death :)
