Chapter 77: Post-match interview! Management's decision!
Seeing Feng Sichu sitting opposite him in a daze as usual, Li Fu couldn't help but clench his fist and cough.
Feng Sichu suddenly came back to his senses, his face slightly red, and he quickly looked down at the script in panic.
Then, she lowered her eyes slightly and started, "Hi... Padre, welcome to our post-match interview booth."
"Hello, host." Li Fu nodded with a smile.
Li Fu's gentle voice rang out.
Suddenly, just like when he was a child, Feng Sichu's somewhat panicked heart inexplicably calmed down, and his thoughts on the interview that he had been preparing for a long time suddenly became clear.
"First of all, congratulations to IG for winning today's game and getting their first victory in the spring season. Do you feel that the team's condition has improved compared to before?"
Li Fu took the microphone handed over by the staff and said after a pause, "I haven't participated in previous competitions, so I don't know much."
As soon as these words came out, the IG fans gathered in the audience all laughed. Li Fu had a bit of the authenticity of the old guy on the forum who said, "I'm a silver man, why don't you ask me?"
Feng Sichu also looked at Li Fu in surprise, but now that she had come to her professional field, her expression became more natural. She raised her hand to smooth down her drooping hair and continued to ask questions:
"In today's third game against OMG, did you feel panicked or troubled when facing the opponent's mid and jungle targeting?"
Li Fu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not panicking, but it's a bit tricky. The opponent's jungler has a good rhythm, but our lineup can't do anything about it, so let's just fight first."
"Then how did you come up with the idea of counter-jungling in the opponent's jungle? Have you communicated tactics with your teammates?" Feng Sichu had come into contact with the League of Legends game when he was in college, and was very familiar with these professional terms.
"Well... actually it's not a tactic. After we killed the three wolves in that wave, our jungle was cleared out by the opponent, and it was difficult to catch people. So I thought about strolling around the opponent's jungle, and then I killed two groups of junglers." Li Fu's tone was very sincere.
So sincere that it makes people speechless.
You call that strolling?
Walking the dog is almost the same!
That wave of male guns were completely treated like dogs!
Feng Sichu was also stunned.
Obviously, he didn't expect Li Fu to answer like this.
If another female host is used, there might be a problem because the subsequent branch line will be disconnected.
But fortunately, she was cute enough to skip a few side questions naturally, and then continued, "We saw that you picked Sejuani and Lee Sin in the two games today. Do you personally prefer heroes that are more showy or heroes that are more team-oriented?"
"I like them all."
Li Fu added without hesitation, "As long as we can win."
"After such a long time, I am back in LPL. How do you think my mentality has changed? Did you feel very tired and exhausted before? Did you ever think of giving up?"
When asking this question, Feng Sichu glanced at Li Fu with a hint of trepidation in his eyes.
It was not until this moment that she seemed to truly understand this older brother next door when she was young for the first time. Had he actually been through so many things alone in Jianghai over the years?
"Become more eager to win."
Li Fu smiled.
"I haven't thought about giving up. After all, I chose it, so it's up to it to give up on me one day."
"As for hard work, I have never felt that way. Compared to the people in this world who really work hard, I can choose an industry and earn a salary that is enough to support myself."
“I feel very lucky.”
Are you lucky?
Many people at the scene and in the live broadcast room looked at the warm and sincere smile on Li Fu's face, and the stereotype of Li Fu that had been formed on the Internet in their minds gradually underwent some subtle changes.
Calm, sincere, passionate... In just a few sentences, Li Fu subconsciously repeated the word "win" several times.
It can be seen that this older generation of e-sports players who once wasted time in the league really has an extraordinary desire for "victory"!
Suddenly, countless LPL viewers had another label added to their impression of the real Li Fu...want to win.
So...is this the real Li Fu now?
Feng Sichu was also stunned for a moment, then he reacted and looked down at the script in a panic, then quickly continued the interview:
"IG chose to make a last-minute substitution in the second game today. What happened? Who will start for IG in the jungle, you or A-Chun?"
"Achung is an experienced veteran. He has performed very well after switching to jungle. Maybe the pressure he has been accumulating today is a bit too much, but I believe he will adjust quickly. It will depend on the coaching staff's arrangements for him to play later."
“…”
After a question-and-answer session between the two sides.
Feng Sichu glanced at the records on the script in his hand and asked the last question.
"The last question I believe many viewers are curious about is, when you appeared today, you added a number to the end of your LPL registered ID and changed it to Padre6. Everyone is guessing if this number has any special meaning?"
When asking this question, Feng Sichu's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be very curious inside as well.
Li Fu smiled and replied calmly, "Because this year is the S6 season, I want to say goodbye to my old self. There's nothing else to it."
Feng Sichu nodded, not quite understanding, and suddenly asked again, "Then if it's S7 next season, will you change it to Padre7?"
After the words fell, Li Fu was slightly stunned, and felt as if he was being watched for a second by some kind of will from the void.
Idiot!
7 Don’t add it randomly.
Li Fu laughed dryly, glanced at Feng Sichu who was like a curious baby and said, "This... let's talk about it later."
…
The interview is over.
The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room watched Li Fu put down the microphone and turn away with his broad back.
He just seemed mature and steady, but there wasn't a single trace of the dejected air that you would see from a veteran who had wasted his time in the league and accomplished nothing.
On the contrary, Li Fu gives people the feeling of being always enthusiastic and positive!
The feeling of being full of pride forever!
Always desire victory!
So, after a simple interview, the stereotypes of countless LPL viewers about this veteran of the league changed and then gradually deepened.
Backstage, Rookie and others watched Li Fu's interview and couldn't help but feel emotional.
There was never any blockbuster success.
The reason why Li Fu was able to lead IG to victory today was all due to the footsteps and path of pursuing his dreams that he had never given up or left over the years.
Xiao Shiguang in the bottom lane looked at the eloquent Li Fu and said with some envy, "I didn't expect Brother Fu to be so eloquent."
He just can't do that. Like many internet-addicted teenagers, he feels uncomfortable every time he faces the camera and just wants to end the interview quickly and go back to order food.
Unexpectedly, the man who was stroking his chin nodded after hearing what he said, "Well, the new female host is pretty."
"Ah? I mean Brother Fu's eloquence." Xiao Shiguang was puzzled.
Zizi turned around and glanced at Xiao Shiguang, then nodded again, "Yes, the new female host is pretty. When she came on stage today, it felt like the entire LPL was full of energy ."
At this point, Zizhi paused, and suddenly stroked his chin and said, "And it seems that I am a little interested in Brother Fu, tsk tsk... Is LPL going to have a 'can't open the mouth'?"
“…” Hours of time.
He felt that he and Zizi were not in the same dimension at all.
In the corner, Coach Chris also looked excited.
Then I thought about the game against RNG at the weekend, and my heart suddenly calmed down.
That was a tough battle!
After hesitating for a while, he walked over to the manager Su Xiaoluo and asked, "Boss Su, Brother Fu is in very good shape today. I think A-Xun needs some adjustments. For the game against RNG this weekend..."
"Let Li Fu go up."
Unexpectedly,
Su Xiaoluo said simply and neatly.
ah?
So easy to talk to.
Something seems to be wrong.
Sure enough,
The next second, Su Xiaoluo took the tablet in his hand to Chris and opened the IG official club's Weibo account.
Click on the backstage private message.
Coach Chris looked down and saw a series of curses, most of which were about what happened in the S5 World Championship last year.
After all, Li Fu was the focus of IG's firepower at the time, and all the public pressure was on him. The pressure the club was under was relatively small. Even IG's official account did not experience a large-scale loss of fans.
But today when Li Fu came on stage,
People are all stubborn.
Blindly trust your initial judgment.
Many fans who didn't understand the game or even didn't watch it cursed IG on Weibo for pushing out last year's "war criminal" again, and threatened to stop being fans if Li Fu started next time.
In just a short while, IG's official Weibo account lost one or two thousand followers.
Most of them are casual e-sports fans on Weibo who don’t watch the games. The person who attracts them most in IG is Rookie.
The reason I like her is not because of how cute she is, but because she looks cute and has a gentle smile.
Well, Koreans are also a plus.
Su Xiaoluo tapped the tablet and said slowly, "Ah Xun's recent condition is indeed not very good. In the next game, Li Fu can continue to start, but there is a condition."
"What conditions?"
"Let him (Li Fu) use his personal Weibo account to publicly and sincerely apologize for last year's World Championship. Our official Weibo account will repost it appropriately at that time, and the matter will be over."
"Huh?" Chris was stunned.
Su Xiaoluo spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. I can't do anything if the fans are unreasonable. The club cannot operate without the fans. You should know this."
Chris looked up at Su Xiaoluo with complicated eyes. For the first time, he felt that the game was easy and he just needed to beat the opponent.
"Brother Kefu...will he agree?" Chris was a little worried.
He recalled the state of Li Fu, who was at the center of the storm after IG was eliminated in the S5 group stage last year and returned to China.
Don't argue, don't speak.
Lie down and be laughed at.
And never explain.
"He will."
Su Xiaoluo laughed and said lightly, "It's just an apology. Nowadays, every public figure will apologize. Look at those anchors who apologized and then turned around and continued to sell goods. Don't worry, it's a small matter."
Having said this, he paused, and suddenly added lightly.
"As long as he still wants to continue to start."
