The 1/4 match ended so quickly that many fans at the scene hadn’t come to their senses yet. It wasn’t until the big screen started showing the highlights of the match that the sporadic applause in the audience gradually became heated. Later, the tide of applause almost blew the roof off the house - ignoring the shock brought to everyone by the players themselves, this match was indeed very exciting!

Of course, there were a lot of whistles mixed in with the applause, and it was obvious that they were all male fans laughing at his ID "Fat Uncle".

Seeing Xie Mingzhe running back to the backstage in dejection, Chen Xiao walked over with a smile and said, "Are you feeling guilty? Your fans' jaws dropped to the ground. It was really spectacular."

Xie Mingzhe smiled dryly and touched his nose: "I gave them vaccinations, but they all got the wrong idea and thought I was ugly."

Yu Ke said bluntly: "Because the ID Fat Uncle can't be associated with a handsome guy! It's all a matter of name. When I first met you, I didn't dare to believe that you were Fat Uncle! Even if you were called Cat or Dog, it would not cause a smaller shock than Fat Uncle!"

Fat, Uncle, none of these words can make people think of a handsome young man. Apparently, one should not use random names, and Xie Mingzhe has learned his lesson. Fortunately, the professional league has strict regulations, and all players must use their real names during the professional league stage. Xie Mingzhe no longer has to worry about what online name to use, and he can continue to use the ID Fat Uncle.

On the way back to the club, Chen Xiao was driving in the front, and Xie Mingzhe was sitting in the back seat and logged into his personal homepage. He wanted to see how many people were scolding him, but he found that his personal homepage suddenly had 5 million fans?

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief - there were so many fans, how many of them were to scold him?

Xie Mingzhe still decided to make an official statement. After all, he would represent the Nirvana Club in the future, and it would not be a good idea to leave the impression on passers-by that he was "deliberately deceiving fans".

After carefully considering the wording, Xie Mingzhe issued a statement very sincerely: "I have not released photos before. I am sorry that my ID has misled everyone. I did not mean to do that. When I first entered the game, I thought Fat Uncle was friendly, so I casually took the ID Fat Uncle. I didn't expect that I would become a professional player in the future. I am 18 years old this year. It is really inappropriate to use this ID. From now on, you can call me Ah Zhe. I hope everyone will pay more attention to my cards and competitions. What I look like is not the point - you know me because of the cards, and please continue to support me because of the cards. Thank you."

Fans: “…”

I didn't expect that at such a young age, he could remain so calm when facing these doubts. His ability to handle this kind of crisis public relations is truly a model for professional athletes - a little too rational!

Fans were in a complicated mood. After all, they had been comforting Uncle Fatty by saying "We like you no matter how ugly you are." But it was all in vain. He was not ugly at all. Instead, he was as handsome as a college idol. If everyone immediately changed their attitude and said "We like you even more because you are so handsome," wouldn't that be embarrassing? Although they thought so in their hearts, fans still had to save face.

As soon as Xie Mingzhe posted this message, the number of comments instantly exceeded 10,000. Girls looked at the photos attached to his message and wanted to lick the screen, but on the surface they pretended to be reserved and left messages one after another saying: "Since your attitude is sincere, we will continue to support you!" Male fans couldn't help but complain: "You are so handsome but you still call me Fat Uncle, you are really shameless, how can we fat people live!"

The comment that was pushed to the top was: "Too handsome, I can't afford to be your follower, I decided to turn against you~~" and there were a lot of +1s queued up behind it, and in a blink of an eye, there were thousands of them. Although the comments said this, no one unfollowed him, and it was obvious that most of them were joking.

Xie Mingzhe didn't care how many people actually turned from fans to haters, but he never expected that the fans' fighting power was so strong that his statement actually topped the hot search list of the day.

The topic #胖叔声明# attracted a lot of attention. Many passers-by clicked on the hot search in confusion and found that in addition to Xie Mingzhe’s own statement, there were also many interesting jokes, such as a limerick called "Fat Uncle, I'm Not Fat" which was forwarded over 10,000 times; there was also a motivational animated picture "Fat Uncle is so thin, are you embarrassed not to lose weight?", and many hand-drawn Q-version fat uncle avatars——

In just a few hours, fans created a large number of fan works, including poems, novels, and drawings, filling up the hot search topics. These animated pictures and avatars were widely forwarded and downloaded. Xie Mingzhe thought they were very interesting and downloaded quite a few himself.

All of a sudden, the number of followers on Uncle Pang’s personal homepage increased again, breaking through the 6 million mark.

At this point, several influential fans began to speak out in the group to express their stance: "Fat Uncle's first appearance today caused a lot of controversy. The gap between his real image and everyone's imagination is too big, which caused many people to feel psychologically disappointed. This is normal - but don't forget, we originally liked him because of the cards he made. He himself said that the cards are the focus."

One girl said: "He never said he was ugly, it's all made up by everyone. I think everyone should be more rational about this matter, and don't scold him just because his image doesn't match your fantasy. It's very simple - if you can accept it, stay, and if you want to stop being a fan or turn against him, please leave the group as soon as possible."

After this statement was made, some people did quit the group, but they were just a few scattered people, and it was not a big deal. It was completely different from the large number of people who lined up in the comments saying they wanted to turn black.

The girl was a little confused: "What about those who said they wanted to turn black? If they don't leave the group, does this mean that blackening has become true love?"

Fans who had queued up quickly stood up to express their opinions: "We just queued up to join in the fun." "Just kidding, I'm still waiting for him to get his new character card to play in the semi-finals." "Everyone agreed not to compliment him on how handsome he is. We must have principles and like his cards more than his looks!" "Although he is a bit handsome, we'd better not compliment him, lest he gets too proud."

Then everyone said in unison: "It's okay to brag about him in private." "He's really handsome, hahaha!"

Group manager: “…”

What a bunch of fans who say one thing and think another. Their painting style is as strange as that of Fat Uncle!

The group manager smiled helplessly and said, "Fans who have stayed, don't just say your support, please show it with your actions. The semi-finals are on the weekend, so if you can buy a ticket to go to the event, please sign up with me as soon as possible."

Among Xie Mingzhe's fans, there are several managers with particularly strong organizational skills. The appearance of so many posters at the quarter-finals is due to the efforts of these managers. These people are all from the Nirvana Guild. They are not only loyal fans of Fat Uncle, but also loyal fans of character cards such as Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. Therefore, when Xie Mingzhe was criticized, several managers immediately stepped up to control the situation and quickly stabilized it.

The super-large group manager said arrogantly: What's the big deal? Being handsome is not a black mark! Isn't it a plus that the person we like is handsome and talented? I'll continue to watch the next game - but I'll tear up all the posters and change them!

On Friday evening, February 6, the semi-finals of the 11th Masters Tournament officially began.

Many passers-by who were watching the live broadcast before found that a large number of Uncle Fat’s fans were flooding the screen with comments saying “fans turned haters”, and thought that there were not many fans watching this game, but when they arrived at the scene, they were shocked——

More than half of the people at the entire competition venue were fans of Fat Uncle.

However, the words on the cheering posters have changed dramatically: "Although you are not fat or an uncle, we are fans with principles and will of course continue to love you!" "We want to be as thin as the fat uncle!" "What is a true fan? It is a fan who can stick to him when he finds him particularly handsome." "Look at the cards, not the face. What's so great about being handsome?"

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

The cheering posters at the venue were extremely spectacular, and the various teasing comments formed a sharp contrast with the posters of other companies that said "Come on XX" and "XX will win". Passersby were very confused - where did the fans turn against them? Why are there more fans than the last game?

When Xie Mingzhe saw these posters in the backstage, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry - he suddenly felt that his fans were a group of arrogant people!

The female commentator couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the fans turning against him are just lip service. Just admit it, you are actually secretly happy to see that Fatty is so handsome, but you are too embarrassed to show it because it will make you look superficial!"

The fans in the audience burst into laughter.

The girls especially smiled brilliantly. They were not superficial fans, and of course their favorite was the cards made by Xie Mingzhe - they just liked his looks.
