Chapter 819: Twists and turns, secret manipulation (Part 2)
No wonder the public opinion on the foreign network fermented so quickly, it turned out to be all thanks to this young oil master!
"With Abed here, manipulation of public opinion online won't be a problem. We just need to wait for public opinion to reach a certain level, and then we'll be 'forced' to disclose K6's report on Thor."
Qian Duo perked up when he heard this and immediately volunteered, "I'll edit the copy later. I'll make sure to clearly document the entire process of K6 reporting Thor! If you mess with myq, K6 will have to clean his neck and wait for death!"
…
Under Abed's manipulation, the speed at which public opinion on the Internet fermented was terrifying, and myq and Thor were simply scolded to death.
Ruan Qi kept staring at the Internet, and when the time was almost right, she asked Qian Duo to post the edited copy online.
One minute later, myq's official website accounts at home and abroad were all updated.
MyQ Team: Regarding the online rumors of Lei Shen taking illegal drugs, we would like to clarify that Lei Shen has not taken any illegal drugs. However, at the end of today's third round, Team K6 did report Lei Shen to the referee panel. Their reasoning for the report was that Lei Shen had an injury on his hand, and his hand speed shouldn't be so fast, so they "reasonably" suspected Lei Shen of taking illegal drugs.
All myq members strongly disagreed with k6's 'reasonable' suspicions. However, out of respect for the rules of the game, Lei Shen agreed to cooperate with the referee team in drug testing. However, the myq club hereby guarantees that -
Lei Shen absolutely did not take any banned substances during the competition. As for his exceptional hand speed despite his hand injury, it was entirely due to his personal talent and hard work; there was no cheating involved. Myq does not accept any form of slander or frame-up. We implore the @InternationalEsportsAssociation to release the drug test results as soon as possible to clear myq's name. Thank you.
Qian Duo published the announcement simultaneously in Chinese and English on official domestic and international accounts. This announcement instantly pushed the already turbulent public opinion to a new climax.
Domestic netizens were furious. Being suspected of drug use just because of fast hand speed—isn't that bullying?
Is this the quality of the ace team that won three consecutive championships?
If someone is better than you, does that mean they are on drugs?
Can't afford to lose?!
[I was wondering why the referee went to look for myq after the third round. Turns out it was k6 who did it!]
[No wonder myq played so hard in the fourth round, and was reported for no apparent reason. Who wouldn't be angry?]
This is a disaster that has fallen from the sky. Can the esports association do something about this constant reporting trend? If a winning team is then reported by the losing team for drug use, will this competition still be viable?
Is it so hard to admit that someone is better than you? Damn it, K6, die!!!
Except for some keyboard warriors and black fans, most domestic netizens speak in favor of myq.
But the situation is different on the outside network. After all, this is the territory of k6 fans. K6 fans naturally support k6, and other e-sports fans also have different attitudes towards myq's statement.
Some people thought k6's suspicion was correct, saying that Lei Yao's speed was indeed abnormal despite his hand injury. Other netizens sided with myq, saying that Lei Shen wasn't the only esports player who could still play at lightning speed despite injuries, and that just because Lei Shen had fast hands, it didn't mean he was taking doping.
In short, the internet was full of rumors, further intensifying the already murky public opinion. However, despite their arguments, netizens still had some intelligence. As the debate grew, they realized that nothing would come of it, so they began @ing the official account of the esports association, hoping that they would release Thor's drug test results as soon as possible.
The eSports Association, who wanted to play dead and keep silent: "..."
Under pressure from the capital giant behind K6, the esports association initially hoped to minimize the Thor drug test incident. However, as fate would have it, the association never anticipated the rapid escalation of online public opinion, nor did they anticipate that MyQ would be so intolerant of the grievance and immediately disclose the conflict with K6.
This put the esports association in a state of turmoil. Everyone was urging them to release the results of Thor's drug test, while myq's fans were constantly urging them to punish K6.
The senior leaders of the e-sports association were so overwhelmed by the pressure that they quickly held a small meeting and finally decided to make the results of Thor's drug test public as soon as possible, and then let K6 make a verbal apology, and the matter would be over.
However, the e-sports association has good intentions, but online public opinion is beyond their control.
Shortly after myq issued a statement, another explosive piece of news added fuel to the fire, adding fuel to the bloody public opinion.
Someone revealed that Thor's urine sample was swapped, and the originally negative urine sample was replaced with a positive urine sample!
This piece of news was even more explosive than 'k6 reported myq', and public opinion instantly set off a storm on domestic and foreign networks with overwhelming force.
Domestic netizens are going crazy.
[Holy crap! I've never seen anything like this before. Urine samples can actually be switched?!]
[Is there any bottom line left? If you change the urine sample, I'll fuck your mother!]
Is this news true? Who swapped the urine sample? Could it be someone from K6?
[Aside from K6, who else would care so much about Thor's urine sample? If you can't afford to lose, don't participate in the competition. Who are you trying to disgust with this?]
Is the eSports Association dead? Can you give me an explanation? You think our Chinese team is easy to bully!
The domestic Internet was filled with criticism, and although the reaction on the foreign Internet was not as intense as that in China, there were also many different opinions.
If the urine samples of e-sports players were swapped, it would not just be a matter within the e-sports circle, but would be illegal.
Was Thor's urine sample really switched?
Who is the one who switched the items?
Could it really be K6?
K6's fans naturally refused to accept the blame and claimed online that K6 was innocent. However, other netizens felt that since the news of the product swap had spread online, it was definitely not groundless and K6 might have really done something wrong.
Everyone said that they had their own reasons, and as they talked, they started to curse at each other.
The eSports Association hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and all the senior executives were stunned. But before they could react, the online public opinion shifted again.
One netizen raised a question: The drug testing center is an internal department of the esports association, with extremely tight security, and ordinary thieves should not be able to enter. So why was Thor's urine sample switched?
Could it be done by someone inside the drug testing institute?
If it was really K6 who wanted to swap the urine sample, does that mean that K6 was in collusion with the drug testing institute and even the entire e-sports association?
If they really colluded, is there a possibility that K6's previous competition results were falsified? Or if a K6 member took banned drugs, would the drug testing center help conceal it?
One suspicious point will always lead to a lot of suspicious points. When you think someone is suspicious, you will think that all his actions are suspicious.
As a result, the e-sports association was forced to step down, hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder with k6, and the two good brothers were caught in the center of the public opinion storm.
Thor: The whole world is watching my urine sample.
There is one more chapter, which will be updated in the afternoon.
