Chapter 122 Thigh with Cat
I slept well all night.
The following day was the offline finals of the Anchor Cup.
An Jin arrived backstage early to get ready for makeup.
The makeup artist who did her makeup was a very cool young lady. She must have just started working there, and she had a very lively personality.
While An Jin was getting her makeup done, the makeup artist was like someone eating hotpot, constantly letting out shocked exclamations and gasps.
The teams participating in the finals all had to go to the interview preparation room in the afternoon. An Jin, as the only girl in the team, was the last one to arrive at the interview preparation room because of her makeup and hair.
"Wow."
Fried Pipa: "An'an looks so beautiful today."
An Jin replied defiantly, "What? Didn't I dress up nicely before?"
Pipa added, "You look beautiful too. You've always been beautiful, but you look especially beautiful today because you're all dressed up."
After saying that, Pipa fawned over An Jin and helped her lift her skirt.
The bread man on the sofa chuckled, "Pipa, why are you being so obsequious today?"
Pipa stole a glance at An Jin's expression and quickly defended herself: "What kind of talk is that? What do you mean I'm a lackey? Helping ladies is a gentleman's responsibility. What do you know, you bumpkin?"
An Jin plopped down in the center of the sofa, straightened her skirt, and asked curiously.
What time will the sampling be scheduled?
Jiang Jinhan glanced at his phone: "It should be soon. Are you thirsty? I'll get you a glass of water."
An Jin shook her head: "I just put on my lipstick, I'm not drinking it."
Jiang Jinhan: "Okay."
Just as Jiang Jinhan had said, An Jin and the others waited for about ten minutes before the organizers came in to prepare for the interview.
The questions asked were all familiar ones. With Jiang Jinhan as the team leader and the shrewd and resourceful Bread Man, An Jin and Pipa Cripple only needed to keep smiling during the interviews.
After the interview was completed, there was supposed to be a similar trash-talking segment.
Jiang Jinhan gave this opportunity to An Jin.
He really didn't dare to say it, afraid that if he did, he would get a nickname for himself.
An Jin wasn't afraid. She made her living off negative publicity, and since Jiang Jinhan had given her this opportunity, she would seize it firmly.
In the bright preparation room, the beautiful An Jin confidently stares directly into the camera.
She confidently and proudly declared to the camera, "We will definitely win the championship."
The scene pauses at this moment.
An Jin's words in the preparation room that afternoon were roughly edited and appeared in the official live broadcast room that evening.
Compared to the polite words of encouragement and support from the other teams, An Jin's resolute declaration of winning the championship undoubtedly attracted the attention of more ordinary gamers who didn't watch the live stream.
One thing that cannot be denied is that humans are always visual creatures.
When Jiang Jinhan's team appeared in the official live stream, the data in the live stream was better than that of the other teams.
Their team has all the keywords that attract attention: a new generation of professional players, a veteran retired player, a gloomy introvert and a talkative fat guy, and a "mascot" who is so beautiful that it is impossible to look away.
With such a diverse team and such proud statements, what will they be like on the field?
The audience is really looking forward to it.
But the official team deliberately kept people in suspense. After showing the pre-recorded interviews of several teams, An Jin's name was not among the two teams introduced on the screen.
An Jin's team has basically never lost along the way.
She is in the winners' bracket, and today's schedule is to compete against another team for the championship.
The two teams currently on stage are their defeated opponents from the winners' bracket.
The long match raised viewers' expectations, with some impatient viewers leaving while others patiently waited.
When the loser's bracket decided the third place, the deathly silent stadium finally erupted in cheers.
"Here she comes, An'an is going on stage."
"Ahhhhhhh, An'an looks so beautiful today! Ahhhhhhhh!"
"Wife—look at me—"
The shouts that erupted at the scene, along with the overwhelming barrage of comments in the live stream, left casual viewers completely bewildered.
What's going on? Holy crap, how did you suddenly get so worked up?
There are too many comments; you can't even see their faces if you don't turn them off. It's infuriating.
Wow, who is this? Such a big name, like they're playing in the World Championship.
Scattered comments from passersby were drowned out.
When An Jin stepped onto such a big stage for the first time, all her fans offered their sincerest wishes to her at that moment.
They recorded her every move, both on-site and in the live broadcast room, doing everything they could to support her.
The love and passion of countless people have created an atmosphere that is unmatched.
The power of the group is immense; individuality and ego are submerged. They move in unison, chanting An Jin's name.
As the cries of "An An" echoed throughout the stadium, An Jin knew that regardless of the outcome of the match, she was the winner.
She looked proudly at the audience, her face radiating undisguised pride.
How could she not be proud?
She is so young, and so successful.
How could I not be proud?
People cheered for her; they waited, waiting for her to win the championship, waiting for her triumphant return.
The host's microphone couldn't drown out the shouts filling the stadium.
The official main platform no longer displays any comments from passersby.
Two hundred thousand regular viewers in a live stream is an incredibly large number, and when these people are determined to do something, sheer numbers are enough to overcome any obstacle.
The game's ban/pick phase has begun.
An Jin, wearing headphones, had a serious expression.
The headset blocked out most of the sound, and when her teammates' relaxed voices came through the headset, even the usually serious An Jin couldn't help but smile.
They started the ban/pick phase according to their agreed-upon plan.
To everyone's surprise, An Jin, who had picked tanky support heroes in many previous matches, chose the hero Yuumi in the first game of the finals.
Some say An Jin is paying homage, since when An Jin first started streaming, she used the hero Yu Mao.
Some say it's a tactic, an attempt to catch the opponent off guard.
Opinions vary.
An Jin's real reason for choosing a cat was simple: to avoid conflict.
A mere month of practice is not enough for An Jin to go from 0 to 90 in hard support.
Her support skills are at most 80 points, and at least 10 of those 80 points are due to her awareness.
In the finals, An Jin will face a bottom lane opponent who is a 90-point support and a 90-point ADC.
In a battle between masters, one wrong move can lead to total defeat.
In the first game of the finals, both teams will field their safest lineups.
The most reliable lineup for Anjin's team is a strategy centered around the mid and bottom lanes, with the top player leading the team (scratch that) and the carry leading the team (cat).
