24. Shen Ju's fans have arrived.
Before the competition even ended, Lin Jiang and Shen Ju were already trending on social media.
Lin Jiang's video of "pushing back the double C" went viral and quickly became a trending topic.
The trending topic for Shenju was "Kasa got a triple kill and still managed to escape unscathed".
It's not surprising that Shen Ju is trending on social media.
However, his previous trending topics were all: Shenju fed, Shenju fed again, Shenju flashed in and fed, Shenju flashed in and 1v5 fed.
His skills are good, but his playstyle is very similar to Alike's; he either plays like a god or he plays like a complete disaster.
Especially when he gets Kai'Sa, he never leaves himself any way out when he enters the game. Coupled with his teammates' lack of support, he seems like he has a ten-year-old cerebral thrombosis.
People online often mock him, saying: "Shen Ju is a mad dog that bites anyone he sees and can't be controlled at all."
Fans have changed their nickname for him from Shenju to Shengou.
The funniest thing about this trending topic is the phrase "escaped unscathed".
What? Shen Ju can escape unscathed?
Many fans who don't watch the games often clicked on the entry, just to see how Shen Ju managed to escape unscathed.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Chenju use his E skill to accelerate and create distance, constantly kiting the opponent to deal damage.
You should know that Shenju is a player who constantly jumps into the enemy's face when playing Ezreal. Every skill he uses is for output, and even his heal is to speed up the kill.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
People started digging deep and found out that Lin Jiang had absolute power in OT and that Shen Ju could only be as obedient as a dog in front of him. Fans then launched into merciless ridicule.
[Hahaha, even you've met your match, you idiot!]
The relationship between fans and Shen Ju is very delicate in the entertainment industry.
If you watch Shenju's live stream, you have to criticize him; otherwise, you'll feel like you've lost 30 million.
Shen Ju was mocked, so we had to step in and kick him while he was down. This brat deserves to be trampled on by society!
A race between two horses? I'd rather die than watch that! Anyone who watches it will get high blood pressure!
Fans who have been repeatedly defeated by Shenju's matches have long reached a consensus, but the trending topic has piqued their interest.
They flooded into the live stream, and the style of the comments gradually changed—
[Sinking Dog, I'm here!]
[Your dad's here to watch your ridiculous cooking.]
[Still alive? Oh my, you've got a perfect stat line, you're so smug.]
[Has the ZOG on the other side not eaten? Go for it!]
[Based on my understanding of Shen Gou, he'll flash in and feed next time.]
For a moment, fans of OT and ZOG couldn't tell whether they were allies or enemies, and they were at a stalemate. The live chat was completely dominated by Shenju's fans.
In this game, Chenju was still playing Kai'Sa. As soon as the enemy jungler showed up, his first reaction was to use E to speed up and retreat.
Shenju fans—
[What? You chickened out?]
[No, go ahead and take him down! Daddy loves watching you take on five opponents at once!]
[This isn't your temper, Shen Gou! Why are you suppressing your true nature!]
[Don't embarrass us, bite him!]
The enemy support was low on health, and Chenju accelerated towards them but found the distance was too great, so he didn't continue chasing.
Shenju fans—
[？？？？]
[Healing speed boost! Why not use healing abilities to kill people, instead of letting supports set off fireworks?]
[Chase him! Chase him all the way to the bottom of the tower! Trade with him!]
[Trading an AD carry for a support is a good deal, go for it!]
When Shen Ju arrived at the middle road, he saw Lin Jiang on the road and obediently stopped eating the line and went to eat the river crab.
Shenju fans—
Why aren't you eating?
[AD carries who are afraid to farm lane minions are complete trash!]
[Eat! We can lose the game, but we can't afford to miss out on the middle lane!]
[If you don't eat this, I'll look down on you for the rest of my life!]
[You chickened out, Chen Gou! You're no longer the mad dog who used to roam the Rift like a madman!]
Despite the harsh words from Shen Ju's fans, they are actually comforted by his progress.
Over the years of my love-hate relationship with Shen Ju, I've mostly been frustrated with him: This kid clearly has top-notch skills, so why does he always play like he has a stroke?
However, this small consolation cannot stop them from causing trouble.
Looking at the barrage of comments, OT and ZOG fans felt a chill run down their spines. Why did they feel a sense of fear, as if they were being controlled by an evil force?
The match had been going on for exactly 20 minutes.
Lin Jiang played Jayce in this game, and Chen Ju played Kai'Sa. They were a high-burst combo in the mid-game.
ZOG was caught by Lin Jiang sneaking up on the dragon, and without hesitation, he raised his hammer and smashed it at the enemy mid laner.
Keep in mind that ZOG had just had a skirmish in the bottom lane. Although their health wasn't very high, they still had a total of 4 players!
Does Lin Jiang intend to take on four opponents alone?
For a moment, they all thought Lin Jiang was possessed by Shen Ju.
Just as everyone's hearts were clenched, Shenju arrived at the battlefield, raised his hand to search for enemies in the void, and activated his hunter's instincts. He unleashed a powerful ultimate move without hesitation, landing and unleashing a burst of damage.
The situation instantly turned into a 2v4!
Audience: ? ? ? Send them together?
Fans who had just praised Shen Ju for his progress and no longer being reckless immediately covered their faces.
There's really nothing to praise about it.
The commentators on stage were stunned: "How did sgod get in too? How did they even communicate?"
In fact, Lin Jiang and Shen Ju barely had time to communicate. The rhythm in the jungle was too off. He finally managed to seize an opportunity and only managed to say, "Shen Ju, come here."
Then Shenju flew down without hesitation.
After the previous game's cooperation, Shen Ju could guess Lin Jiang's thoughts almost without communication.
Jayce and Kai'Sa are both champions with very high burst damage.
With Lin Jiang and Shen Ju's reckless techniques, their damage output became terrifyingly high.
With the acceleration gate in effect, Lin Jiang and Shen Ju unleashed unprecedented explosive damage, knocking the enemy into the air and bombarding them with cannon fire, first killing the mid-laner and then the jungler.
At this point, both of their health bars had dropped to the danger level. ZOG's bot lane duo didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, while Lin Jiang and Shen Ju were secretly rubbing their hands together in the bushes.
Thus, the audience witnessed a top-tier tug-of-war between the two carries—
They advanced, while Lin Jiang and Shen Ju retreated.
They retreated, while Lin Jiang and Shen Ju advanced.
Under their relentless pulling, ZOG's bot lane duo ran out of Flash and their health was brought to a dangerous critical point!
Is this the difference between top players and ordinary players?
Screams erupted from the audience.
ZOG's jungler realized the situation was bad: "We can't win this game, you guys need to get out of here!"
Just as the duo was about to give up, suddenly with a "biu" sound, a green light descended, and Lin Jiang and Shen Ju both accelerated!
Treatment accelerated! Though late, it arrived!
Mercury's hammer was raised high, and Lin Jiang raised his hand and leaped into the sky, landing and instantly killing the enemy duo who were low on health!
Lin Jiang still had 50 drops of blood left! He wasn't dead!
The commentators went wild: "OMG! This maneuver was absolutely terrifying! OT's two carries pulled off a 0-for-4 exchange, River and Agod carried half of OT's team!"
Amidst the screams at the scene, the question marks from Shenju's fans echoed throughout the live chat.
[Healing speed boost, letting teammates get kills?]
[Shen Gou, you've really changed.]
[I know your captain is good-looking, but not to this extent, right?]
[Who said healing is only for yourself, and you shouldn't heal your teammates even if you're dying?]
[Shen Gou is acting on emotion.]
[What happened to the saying that esports is emotionless?]
[Shen Ju, you're finished. You're completely hooked.]
After nearly wiping out ZOG, Lin Jiang quickly led his teammates to take down Baron Nashor and push onto the high ground.
At the 25-minute mark, Lin Jiang's Jayce and Chen Ju's Kai'Sa were at their most explosive in terms of damage output, and ZOG's top laner couldn't withstand it for more than 5 seconds and had to run away.
ZOG retreated again and again until they had nowhere left to go, and in the end they could only regretfully lose this game!
"Congratulations to OT for once again winning this match with an excellent score of 2:0!"
The cheers inside and outside the arena were deafening, and ZOG's jungler slumped in his chair, his face filled with disbelief.
He looked at Lin Jiang, who had taken off his headphones and was shining brightly on the stage.
Something inside me seemed to be shaken.
Lin Jiang, his playing style and his strategies may always remain at the top of the LPL...
Unfortunately, people often only see the data.
The match was intense and exciting, and Lin Jiang found great satisfaction in it. After taking off his headphones, he immediately hugged Shen Ju beside him.
"Shen Xiaogou, you played very well today."
Amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere and chaotic chatter, Lin Jiang's voice was audible only to himself.
In the instant they brushed past each other, it felt like her lips brushed against the tip of his ear.
My heart was pounding so hard I couldn't stop.
Shen Ju buried his face in Lin Jiang's shoulder, breathing slightly heavily, his fingers tightly gripping the other's sleeve.
Shenju's sharp-eyed fans noticed—
[Is Shen Gou blushing?]
[Why are you blushing over a hug between brothers?]
[Huh? Huh? You damn bastard, you're not gay, are you?!]
[Is it because you're in love that you don't suffer a stroke?]
[Fuck fuck fuck...]
Outside the stadium, the screens on the back seats of luxury cars were playing footage of OT winning the game 2-0.
Lin Jiang led his teammates to the front of the stage and bowed, his confident strides a sight not seen for many years.
He Gu closed his eyes for a short rest.
I stayed up all night yesterday flying to H city for business, and my brain hasn't had a break yet, and I have to rush to the next meeting.
Even amidst this busy schedule, he still managed to find time to watch Lin Jiang's match.
He didn't know what he really wanted to see.
Or perhaps they are concerned about something.
There was a vague emotion tugging at his mind, but upon closer examination, he couldn't find its source.
The assistant sitting in the front row quickly calculated a set of data for him to see, "Young Master He, look at the rate of return. Tianguang's project is really beyond saving. Investing any more money in it will only lead to ruin."
"You are a top investor in the industry. You should know that if this investment fails, it will seriously affect follow-up investments. There is really no need to gamble."
"Young Master He, please reconsider."
He Gu slightly opened his eyes, watching the traffic rushing past outside the window, and suddenly thought of a small thing, a very small thing.
In its fifth year, KUG faced an unprecedented setback. His family and the outside world were generally pessimistic about his chances, and even he himself was not confident.
Just when he was feeling down, Lin Jiang gave him a bottle of Coke. "What are you afraid of? KUG, you still have me. Even if you really voted wrong, I'll correct it for you!"
Back then, Lin Jiang was just like he is now standing on the stage—so confident and composed, as if nothing in this world could defeat him.
He Gu pressed hard on his temple.
His voice was a little hoarse from staying up all night: "Do you have any Coke?"
The driver and assistant were stunned. "You...you want a Coke?"
The luxury car stopped in front of an inconspicuous supermarket. The secretary hurriedly ran to buy a can of Coke and then quickly returned to the car.
Even in this extremely urgent situation, He Gu calmly opened the can.
The "click" sound overlapped with that of years ago, and the taste was exactly the same.
In my youth, I was full of vigor and made decisive decisions.
That kind of courage and confidence still makes me tremble to this day.
He Gu put down his cola, glanced at his watch, and saw that there were only two minutes left until the deadline.
The car was so quiet you couldn't even hear someone breathing.
After a long pause, he said, "Follow-up investment."
The assistant almost choked on his breath. He didn't have time to question his boss's decision. He turned on his computer and frantically typed on the keyboard, finally managing to place the bet at the last minute before the deadline.
After submitting the document, the assistant broke out in a cold sweat. "Young Master He, aren't you afraid?"
I picked up the Coke again with my crossed hands, looking out the window at the endless stream of cars. I don't know why, at this moment...
He suddenly longed to see Lin Jiang.
