Chapter 62: My glory, long gone!
"66666"
"We're number one! Woohoo!"
"Emperor Fu ascends the throne! Awesome!"
"We have to praise Fu Huang today! Today we are all true fans, the house manager has started to work! Clear out all the little black guys!"
"I have to blow it up! I'm going to blow it up!"
"The results will be settled the day after tomorrow. Fu Huang, keep the first place. The first place must belong to our LPL!"
“…”
Happy Hour Internet Cafe.
Li Fu glanced at the comments in the live broadcast room, leaned back slightly, and tried to get rid of the depression that had accumulated in his chest from last year's World Championship to today.
He's not a masochist.
How could you possibly like being scolded every day?
It was just some effort, he had tried it before but to no avail.
Such talent.
In the end, you can only get used to it slowly by yourself.
Lie down and be laughed at.
But today, half of the ridicule in the live broadcast room in the past has disappeared.
At first glance, the screen was filled with comments like “Brother Fu is awesome”. It would be a lie for Li Fu to say he wasn’t excited.
However, when he picked up the bottle of black tea on the table, took a sip, and felt the familiar mellow and cool taste lingering between his lips and teeth, his originally excited mood gradually recovered.
“The feeling of being the first in the canyon…
That's all .
"Heh~!"
Light words of persuasion,
It came out of his mouth so easily.
If someone else said it, it might make people feel that the grapes are sour because they can't eat them, but when it came from the mouth of Li Fu, a man who reached the top of the canyon, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh my god! Such a strong force!"
"Damn it! Emperor Fu is getting swollen!"
"It's over! The King of the Canyon will not be open until the next morning. Will Fu Huang fall down again by then?"
"Who peed yellow? Come and wake him up!"
“…”
Li Fu was pretending to be cool, but when he saw the comments in the live broadcast room, his face suddenly turned black.
"Stop yelling! The host is awake. In the next few days, the host will continue to bring you the top Rank matches of the Grand Master tier in the Canyon of Heroes. Friends who like it can pay attention to it."
The main task of the parent energy system has not been completed yet. It is estimated that it will not be settled until the early morning of the day after tomorrow. Li Fu cannot give up halfway. He must try his best to maintain the first place.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a barrage suddenly floated across the live broadcast room.
"Don't rush here! IG's house is about to be robbed."
"Did you guys watch the game just now? It made me laugh to death. A-Chun's Graves was sleepwalking throughout the game, and Rookie's eyes were red with anger after the game."
"I can understand losing to EDG and RNG last week, but how can they lose to a team like OMG this week? IG is really outrageous right now."
"At this rate, IG will probably make a deep run into the LSPL next season."
"Get lost! Don't come to Fu Huang's live broadcast room to complain about IG's affairs. I, Fu Huang, will not be playing."
"Emperor Fu: It's not that I won't play, it's that I can't play."
“…”
Li Fu was stunned when he saw the comments in the live broadcast room, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
He actually guessed it right.
In the future memory he glimpsed,
Although OMG did not even make it to the playoffs this season, they will soon play a relegation match against a team from the LSPL.
But IG, who barely made it in, was not much worse. They fell in the first round of the playoffs. There was no difference between making it and not making it.
The two teams met.
All we can say is that IG's strength on paper is slightly stronger, but it is only slightly stronger. The result of today's actual match was obviously not satisfactory.
Buzz buzz buzz—!
Li Fu was pondering.
At this moment, his cell phone on the table next to him vibrated.
I glanced at the caller ID.
It's Coach Chris.
Li Fu suddenly fell silent.
He didn't answer it immediately, but just let the phone vibrate. Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window of the Internet cafe.
The rain crawled on the floor-to-ceiling windows, leaving mottled tracks like the veins of leaves, and the sky in the distance was still gloomy.
But I don't know when,
The rain outside has stopped.
…
Hongqiao Tiandi Center,
IG backstage waiting room at the LPL venue.
The first game between IG and OMG ended at 29 minutes and 45 seconds with the explosion of their base crystal.
Today, the OMG, which is falling apart and no longer has the glory of the dark forces in the past, except for Uzi, the other new players have shown extraordinary offensiveness. Even Miller on the commentary desk exclaimed that these new players of OMG are too daring!
In contrast,
Let’s look at IG.
From the opening step,
It became a step-by-step concession.
Even Rookie, who could have slightly suppressed Uzi in the mid lane, played almost no role in this game due to the opponent's jungler's several waves of offensive rhythm.
After the game, everyone could see that Rookie's eyes were red. The anger of this little fat guy who looked like a comedian immediately attracted a lot of scolding from fans in the official live broadcast room of IG.
"Fuck, what is IG playing for? If you don't want to play, just quit."
"Damn, is that a water gun in General Sturgeon's hand? Is he here for the pool party? His fighting style is too messy, isn't it?"
"IG is really a coward now. Do they still want to make it to the World Championship this year? I don't think they will be that lucky. Boss Wang, get ready to eat X on live broadcast."
"I lost two games last week. I thought I could win one game against OMG this week, but the clown turned out to be me."
"Damn it, if IG can't even beat OMG today, I'll throw away my dog tags and stop following them from now on."
“…”
The first game is over.
The negative public opinion on the Internet came overwhelming like a tidal wave.
In the waiting room,
The air was heavy.
Rookie sat there alone, as if nothing had happened, but his eyes were filled with fatigue.
Beside him, coach Chris frowned and asked A-Chun, "What's going on? I remember you played well in the training match this week. Why didn't you do anything in the last game?"
Axun Xiaoxiong spread his hands, looking very excited. "Do something, do something? You all want me to do something. What do you want me to do? One person against five?"
"The bottom lane told me to go but I didn't? The mid lane told me to camp but I didn't? The top lane told me to gank but I didn't. I didn't do anything. Didn't I listen to the instructions?"
"Don't I want to win? I also want to lead my brothers to win, but I just can't do it. What can I do?"
At the end of his speech, Ah Chu's tone gradually became low, and he suddenly relaxed and slumped in the chair like a fish dying of thirst.
He looked up and stared blankly at the ceiling.
People who are in the wrong will get very excited at first because of their face, but they will quickly calm down after a short period of excitement.
Then I fell into deep self-doubt.
Just like A Xun at this moment.
He looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself, "I want to help my brothers, but the opponents are always one step ahead of me. I can only grit my teeth and brush first, then look for opportunities! But the opponents won't give me any."
"Haha, maybe I'm just too naive. That's what everyone on the Internet says. You must think so too, right?"
Ah Xun gave a self-deprecating smile.
Professional players make a living with their talent, and they play in competitions based on the unwillingness to admit defeat in their hearts. No one will admit that they are not good enough.
But at this moment, Ah Xun's tone,
But it's like talking about someone else.
Cowardly words,
It was said so easily.
A trace of deep worry suddenly appeared on Coach Chris's brow. He noticed that Axun's mood was not right at the moment.
In the past, when they lost a game, he would say a few words, but A Xun would always smile and promise to do it again next time and not take it to heart.
But today's game,
Coach Chris felt that his tone was not harsh, but Ah Sturgeon suddenly acted so depressed.
Did something happen between games?
Coach Chris turned his head and looked at Rookie, who had been sitting in the corner with his eyes closed since entering the waiting room, and sighed silently.
But no matter what happened, now is not the time for psychological counseling.
There is no psychological counselor in the IG team yet, so it is impossible for them to hug you and lift you up after you lose the game.
What's the matter?
We can only discuss it after the game is over.
But seeing that Axun was in a completely wrong mood at this moment, coach Chris couldn't help but become more worried.
There is no doubt that if Axun continues to play in the game in this state, he will just be waiting to be "ordered" by the opponent.
"what to do?"
He pulled manager Su Xiaoluo aside.
"Huh?" Su Xiaoluo turned her head.
"He (Achung) can't fight like this." Chris whispered.
Su Xiaoluo glanced at Ah Xun, who was slumped in the chair, and frowned slightly. She turned to Chris and asked, "Then what do you say we should do?"
Chris hesitated for two seconds and asked tentatively, "Do you want to let him (Li Fu) try?"
"He (Li Fu) plays ranked games and does live broadcasts every day. Has he played any training matches this year?" Su Xiaoluo asked back.
Chris choked when he heard this.
Heart:
It's because you don't want to be beaten!
But there was no need to argue with Su Xiaoluo at this moment. Chris smiled helplessly and said, "But we only have this one jungler substitute. A-Chun is definitely not able to play in his current state."
Su Xiaoluo was also distressed when he heard this.
From the perspective of club management and operations, Li Fu was the focus of IG's firepower in last year's World Championship. He certainly didn't want Li Fu to play, which would easily cause resentment among IG's few fans today.
It doesn't matter if we lose the game.
And also lost the goodwill of fans.
That means he, as a manager, is not running the business well.
But if you don't...
It was really impossible to fight against Ah Xun in that state.
Oh shit!
If I had known, I would have bought a substitute jungler this year. It's all Boss Wang's fault. What kind of humanity is needed in running a club? Why do we have to keep a jungler of that age and without any achievements for another half a year?
Su Xiaoluo's expression changed from cloudy to bright.
One last word.
"You decide for yourself."
This is tantamount to tacit consent.
Coach Chris was slightly delighted. He had been watching Li Fu's efforts and progress over the past few days. It seemed that this veteran had really found a second spring in life. He was still optimistic about Li Fu.
Hearing Su Xiaoluo's agreement, Chris immediately walked out of the waiting room, went to the corridor, took out his cell phone and called Li Fu.
The call hasn't been made yet.
When I look up,
I don't know when the rain outside stopped.
The setting sun parted the clouds in the evening and shone into the Hongqiao Tiandi competition venue, covering the retina with a layer of light golden light.
The next second,
The call was connected.
"Hello."
"Brother Fu! The team is in danger! Return quickly!"
"good."
Soon,
The other end hung up the phone.
Coach Chris was stunned.
He originally thought that Li Fu would be surprised! Would be nervous! Would he ask why he was suddenly allowed to play? !
result……
The other party didn't ask anything.
From answering the phone,
To hang up the phone,
He only said two words the whole time.
I said hello,
Then he said "OK".
It seemed like no preparation was needed at all.
Or maybe, he has been preparing for this day all the time!
…
A few minutes later, a man holding an umbrella walked into the lobby of the LPL venue where the setting sun shone obliquely.
He put the borrowed umbrella back to its place.
Turning around, the end of the light shone on his face.
Facing the clear sky after rain,
At this moment, a smile appeared on Li Fu's lips, and the colors blooming in his eyes were even brighter than the falling gold under the red clouds!
The rain stopped.
Then start winning.
Li Fu thought so in his heart.
