"I don't agree with this marriage!"
“Chu Chu! Wuuuu! My Chu Chu!”
"Professional players don't need women. They didn't before and they won't need them in the future. I am the one who needs them!"
"Knife in hand, kill the dog!"
"Fuck, you called me Fu Gou? You called me Fu Huang!"
"You called me Fu Huang? Call me Brother Fu!"
"You're calling me Brother Fu? Call me Liujiang!"
“…”
The live broadcast room was filled with comments like crazy.
Backstage, Li Fu had already walked to the entrance of the passage at the signal of the staff.
Before he went on stage, Feng Sichu, who was sitting in the interview booth, looked up and saw Li Fu at the door. His eyes seemed to turn into two bright stars, sparkling.
This girl glows.
The director's camera accurately captured this scene, and the viewers in the live broadcast room immediately wailed again.
What's so good about this old guy?
What on earth do you crave for him?
Feng Sichu quickly came to her senses. After this period of experience, her aura became more stable.
"Hello Padre6, congratulations to IG for winning today's qualifying spot with a score of 3-1. Congratulations on winning the MVP for both games. Please say hello to the audience first."
“Hi everyone, I’m Padre6.”
Feng Sichu looked down at the script and started the first question. "We know that IG changed their lineup in the second half of the playoffs. You can't start every game like you did in the first two regular seasons. Will this arrangement affect your condition?"
After saying this, Feng Sichu stared at Li Fu curiously.
Many audience members around the interview venue couldn't help but whisper.
Some people speculated that although Li Fu lost to EDG last time, his appearance this time showed that his condition was not bad. They were also wondering if there was some "Game of Thrones" behind the understated substitutions when IG's official Weibo announced the starting lineup.
At this moment, many Sima editors perked up all of a sudden, waiting for Li Fu to reveal something.
But unexpectedly, Li Fu's expression was very calm.
"In fact, I think I am a relatively 'slow to warm up' player. Every time I play, it is difficult for me to find my form in time. In the early stage of the game against EDG, my performance was quite poor. And because of the version, I think I still need to be proficient in the use of many jungle heroes. So if I go through a period of not being a starter, I think I will cherish every opportunity to play more. This feeling should be something that many people who are firmly in the starting lineup cannot understand (laughs)."
Hearing Li Fu's words, Achung from IG's backstage and many rotation players from other teams were also slightly stunned.
Do you cherish every opportunity to play?
One minute on stage is the result of ten years , so is this the reason why you fight so hard in the canyon when Padre6 is not on the court?
Even if such training is not efficient, this kind of self-discipline in a corner where no one is paying attention is also the most rare kind of persistence.
"Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the early stages of Fu Huang's previous games were quite 'slow to warm up'."
"Well, I remember that he used to explode in the jungle at the beginning of the game, but he just took off as the game went on. It was quite confusing at the time."
"This is the foundation of a veteran! Come on, Liu-chan!"
"What the hell is 6-chan? Can you please roll away, eh?"
" ..."
At the interview, Feng Sichu showed a look of no surprise on his face, "So which heroes do you think are the strongest in this version?"
Li Fu said without hesitation, "Graves, Elise, Kindred, and Nidalee are all strong heroes in this version."
"But you've rarely used Graves and Spider in competitions," Feng Sichu asked.
"Because they are just the strong heroes in this version." Li Fu said with a smile, "The heroes that are suitable for match selection are the truly strong heroes. I will also use them if there is a need in the future."
After hearing what Li Fu said, the little black guy in the live broadcast room couldn't help it anymore.
"Someone installed it, but I won't say who it was."
"If you can't do it, then you can't do it. Is it hard to admit that you can't play a jungle core hero?"
"There are other occasions when it is needed. I will take it out whenever I can."
“…”
Of course, IG fans quickly refuted.
"What's in Heizi's mind? Isn't the prince of Emperor Fu considered a wild core?"
"That's normal. I guess in these guys' minds, the only jungler is Graves Kindred."
“…”
The live broadcast room was filled with comments.
Feng Sichu had already asked the next question .
“How do you feel about your career path now? Or how is it different from the past?”
"It's about the same. In the past, I valued the team more, but now I value winning or losing more."
"As a veteran who has fought for many years, do you think your training volume is heavy?"
"I don't know much about other people's situations, but if I compare myself to them, I think it's OK and there's still room for improvement."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the backstage IG looked at each other in surprise.
When Li Fu was a substitute in the last half month of the regular season, he went only between the cafeteria, dormitory and training room. Even for a teenager who is addicted to the Internet, when his hobby becomes a job, the extra time will become a burden.
In their professional careers, they have almost never seen a monster like Li Fu who treats training as "entertainment".
You say that's okay?
Do you think that other people haven't trained?
Feng Sichu smiled and continued the interview, "Since your career has come this far, what are the happiest things and the most regrettable things?"
"In fact, every time I win a game with B05, I feel very memorable and happy."
"If I have to say something regretful... it's that the games where my team B05 played to its full potential over the years had basically nothing to do with me (laughs)."
Feng Sichu looked at the smile on Li Fu's face. That smile gave him an inexplicable feeling as if he had sailed through thousands of mountains.
You will get better and better!
She thought so firmly in her heart.
"Last question, the playoffs will start the day after tomorrow. Do you have any expectations or goals?"
After hearing this question, Li Fu hesitated for two seconds, then said calmly, "Mingkai, that's the factory manager. We are players from the same generation. After the last game, he said he was very happy to see me still active on the court. I just hope that he can continue to be happy after the game the day after tomorrow."
I have to say, compared to those sharp pre-match trash talk.
Li Fu's words were quite restrained. For many years, the first reaction of EGD fans after hearing this was "Is Emperor Fu wishing the factory director happiness forever?" However, the next second, the knot in their brains loosened, and everyone suddenly reacted.
Buzz!
On the field, off the field, offline, online.
All the fans of the Guodian team started talking at once.
"Fuck, you're challenging the factory manager?"
"What do you mean? The scar has healed and you've forgotten the pain? You've forgotten how we lost to EDG last time?"
"I used to have a good impression of Fu Huang. I thought he was a hard-working person, but today I see he is just another arrogant guy."
"To be honest, there aren't many people in LPL who are qualified to challenge the factory manager in this internal war."
“…”
Feng Sichu was obviously stunned for a second before she reacted. She looked at Li Fu in surprise, as if she had never expected that Li Fu, who in her heart had always been gentle, easy-going, mature and steady, would say such sharp words.
Is it the desire to win between veterans of the same era?
The next second,
Her heart skipped a beat.
Although it has not been long since it joined the LPL, Feng Sichu also understands that EDG is now one of the "Big Three" in the LPL, with countless fans.
Oh no, won’t this issue put him in the spotlight?
So Feng Sichu, who had originally said he would ask the last question, suddenly had an idea and added another question to quickly change the subject.
"Hehe, we know that you have been given many titles by fans during your career, including 'Fu Huang', 'Priest' and the most recent '6 Jiang'. Which of these titles do you prefer?"
As expected, this question diverted a lot of people's attention.
After all, fans' nicknames for contestants are just private names. For example, Fu Huang first spread from the anti-pressure bar. There are very few people like Feng Sichu who bring nicknames to the stage and ask contestants which one they like.
That being said... Well done, Chuchu!
As expected, Li Fu was also stunned for a moment.
However, he actually thought about it seriously for two seconds, and then said, "Actually, I'm fine. Although I was a little resistant to the change of 'Fu Huang' live broadcast account at the beginning, now I think that since fans like to call it that, I don't mind it too much. If I have to choose, I might prefer '6 Jiang'."
"Ah? Why?"
"Hmm...is this one cuter?"
This question immediately made many audience members laugh.
It was the first time they heard the contestants' true thoughts about the nicknames given to them by fans and viewers, and it felt quite novel, like calling someone by their nickname behind their back and then having it made public.
"Okay, thank you Padre6 for accepting our interview. See you at the LPL event the day after tomorrow."
"Goodbye, everyone."
At the end of the interview, many audience members were saying goodbye.
In the live broadcast room, IG fans also started to speak out to express their dissatisfaction.
"Is Starch so confident that he will win the day after tomorrow?"
"That's right, if PawN's dad hadn't saved the situation last time, wouldn't EDG have been carried away?"
"Although 6chan was suppressed by Zzaizhang in the early stage, didn't he completely counterattack in the later stage?"
“…”
"They said PawN saved the day, does IG's mid laner have no boss?"
"The mid laner has a boss, but IG still lost twice. If we control the variables, the victory or defeat will be decided."
"Stop talking. IG's son of a bitch likes to jump now, but he will really jump the day after tomorrow."
“…”
Fans on both sides started to argue with each other in the barrage.
Li Fu naturally didn't know.
Backstage, Chris patted Li Fu on the shoulder.
To be honest, when the host asked Li Fu what he thought about the game against EDG the day after tomorrow, he was a little worried.
This question can actually easily attract hatred. If you are too frivolous, you will easily be criticized, and if you are too humble, you will be called a coward.
But Li Fu's answer, "I hope the factory manager will be happy the day after tomorrow", almost made EDG's fans unable to react, and Chris and others in the backstage almost laughed out loud on the spot.
Chris now feels that Li Fu is simply the diplomatic spokesperson of IG. He is elegant, easy-going, and neither humble nor coy. He has immediately established a good external image of the club.
Isn’t this much more reliable than Su Xiaoluo using the club account to post daily updates on Weibo?
Zzitai came over and asked Li Fu, "Do you want to watch the game between Snake and VG tonight?"
"Let's go back and take a look." Li Fu said with a smile, "Eat first, we are all hungry."
"That's great." Ah Xun added.
Usually at this time, when Li Fu came back from winning the game, A Xun would automatically become a silent marginalized person.
It's not that everyone isolated him, but as a contestant for the job, it's always hard to feel good when you lose and others win. If you put yourself in his shoes at that time, I'm afraid you wouldn't want to talk to others either.
There is definitely some depression in Axun.
But today he quickly came out of that depressed mood.
Ah Xun finally figured it out.
In the professional arena, there are only two kinds of people who are worthy of winning: one is talented, and the other is hardworking.
To be honest, in Axun's opinion, Li Fu is not actually talented. Even if we only look at him in the small scope of LPL, he does not have the talent ceiling like Mala Xiangguo and Swfit.
But he worked hard enough.
They put in countless times more effort than the average contestant.
Excellent and hardworking.
Such a person deserves to win.
So now he has really let it go. If Li Fu goes on stage, then so be it. As long as he can win, that's all.
If you can win the championship, who says a champion who lies down is not a champion?
Coach Chris was very pleased to see that A-Chun had recovered so quickly this time. He looked at the second half of the match between VG and Snake, which was about to start, and asked Li Fu, "Brother Fu, who do you think will advance in the second half?"
"VG." Li Fu replied.
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned for a moment. Zizi couldn't help but say, "Team Snake has a win already, and their playoff form is much better than VG. They should have a better chance of winning, right?"
Li Fu noticed everyone's gaze.
He smiled and said:
"Winning chance and winning rate are just pre-match statistics. When the game is actually played, a team does not need to be stronger than the opponent all the time. As long as they play well at that moment on that day and win that round of B05, that's enough."
His words sounded like a response, but also like he was talking to himself.
Everyone on IG was slightly stunned and subconsciously thought of the game against EDG the day after tomorrow.
To be honest, not only the outside world was not optimistic about them, even everyone, including coach Chris, was not optimistic about themselves.
Looking at the LPL regular season this spring, the strength stratification in Group B is particularly obvious, and the leaders RNG and EDG are definitely in a class of their own.
In comparison, IG is relatively inferior .
As the outside world says, they are a strong team of quality inspectors.
The strong team never won, and the weak team never lost.
Even though we won against LGD today, everyone had smiles on their faces and seemed confident about the game the day after tomorrow.
But as soon as they thought about the opponent being EDG, everyone felt uneasy.
There is no way. This team's paper strength and data are much better than their IG.
However, what Li Fu just said opened up a different line of thought for everyone.
Yes, their regular season data is not as good as EDG, and they even lost two rounds of BO3 in a row.
But now that it is a playoff game with a completely different competition system, why should we still cling to the past of the regular season?
They just need to perform at their best on that day, at that moment, in that round of BO5.
Even an opponent like EDG doesn't seem as difficult to defeat as they fear...
Coach Chris raised his head with some joy, looked back at everyone with shining eyes, and couldn't help but hit Li Fu's shoulder hard, his face full of approval and satisfaction.
Come on, this guy is more than just a diplomatic spokesperson.
Now he even does the work of the political commissar.
IG really found a treasure!
…
Nine o'clock in the evening.
IG Club, on the banks of the Huangpu River.
Li Fu had just finished a Rank game when he suddenly heard Zizhi standing up next to him. He turned around in surprise, staring at Li Fu with his eyes wide open.
"What's wrong?" Li Fu was stunned.
Zzitai pointed at the screen and said, "VG...really won, 3 to 2 against Snake! Wow!"
When these words came out, everyone in IG was stunned at first, and then they all looked at Li Fu, with excitement and surprise in their eyes.
It turns out that defeating the strong with the weak...is not impossible!
