Chapter 130 Pressure from Public Opinion
It was just after midnight.
When Xia Sen returned to the club, the first thing he did was to sit down and start playing solo.
I kept playing until the sky turned white before I got up and went back to my room to rest.
The assistant coach saw this scene.
On the second day he said:
"Isn't Xia Sen trying too hard?"
Tabe nodded and thought it was normal: "He is like this. He arranges a lot of training for himself every day. He worked even harder during the spring season. At least now he sometimes gives himself a break."
fair enough.
After all, there are too many geniuses in the mid lane position, and hard work is an indispensable part while relying on talent.
The outside world expressed their opinions on BLG's eight consecutive wins and all small-game wins:
"That's normal. If a team that just got together in the spring season can win every game, won't the summer season be even easier?"
In the forum, some even believe that BLG will truly win the championship this summer. There is no reason. This is the confidence that the five ID cards give them.
There is a post that seriously analyzes the possibility of breaking BLG's winning streak. The content is very simple:
"No team can limit BLG in BP. There are too many systems. It all depends on BLG's mood what they want to play."
Someone replied: In fact, there is a chance to target BLG's bottom lane. If I were an LPL coach, I would give the top laner a big tank and not care, the support would take a hard support, and the jungler would be left hanging in the bottom lane indefinitely.
In this way, even if we can't catch the person, the pressure will be huge, and it can also hijack xun's rhythm. What do you think?
That makes sense, but this is resistance.
"Dude, delete it quickly. It doesn't matter if the LPL team sees it, but it would be bad if the traitors in the LCK steal it."
"Tight, I couldn't help it"
"Yes, yes, if you use this idea to apply for a coaching position, all the major teams will definitely be vying for you."
In the end, the post was completed.
In short, no matter what, netizens still have high expectations for BLG's undefeated victory.
The next day.
BLG vs. IG.
BLG's winning streak in small games was ended, and this was also the first time BLG lost in the regular season this year.
Tianzhen was very confident when he got the Warwick, and he was so excited that he almost cried when he saw the BLG crystal explode.
Even if he got beaten badly by Xun in the second game, what difference would it make? He could still win a game against BLG and get the MVP.
Already won!
It's obvious that BLG was not in good shape today, especially on.
After the game.
Some fans of BLG started to curse the official announcement from their own perspectives.
"Oh no, all the victories are gone."
"Did they treat the opponent as a fool in the BP? Tianzhen's Rengar, Ahn's Draven, and Wink's bot were all released? I was stunned at the time."
"Damn, bighand really lost without any effort. He even beat the opponent through the middle lane. I'm confused. The middle lane has such a big advantage, why didn't he give it to the bottom lane core? He chose a piercing Varus to fight Draven, but ended up being a coward from the early stage to the late stage?"
"Has on become too arrogant recently? He keeps getting hooked, and elk is getting annoyed. He could have gained an advantage."
"There were also two crucial dragon fights. I just couldn't understand why IG could always have TP wards around the back. Didn't On÷ arrange for them?"
"The red nose is almost torn to pieces. After leaving lvmao, his true colors are revealed."
“We couldn’t lose to T1, but we lost to IG.”
“Trivia: IG1557 speedruns through T1.”
"What an old calendar."
All we can say is that the fans are furious, and they are all venting their dissatisfaction.
Originally, we won, so it wasn't a big deal.
But the key to the problem is that IG is not strong. Under the management of top manager Su Xiaoluo, since Rookie and Theshy left the team in 22 years, they have basically been a team on the edge of the playoffs.
In 23, IG experienced a surge in the spring season.
After a wave of 5 consecutive wins, there were countless losses and they missed the playoffs with a score of 7:9.
It's just a pity that he sat up in shock from his dying illness.
The performance so far in the summer season has been even worse, especially in the top lane.
As soon as the warrior version changed, yskm was completely out of the game, and he couldn't play the tank well, so now IG has basically no hope of even making the playoffs.
So it was this team that took the first blood from BLG in the regular season?
After winning the game today, IG was indeed a little swollen.
Although the MVP is Tianzhen's lion dog.
But Wink’s performance played an indispensable role in this. If it weren’t for his several tricky wards around the back, IG would not have been able to create miracles in team fights.
Because Bighand was developing very well at that time and had the highest economy in the game, he was not at all at a disadvantage in a head-on fight.
But it was these few eyes that allowed IG to take two Baron dragons in a row and laid the foundation for victory.
That night.
BLG was scolded and became a hot topic, among which the coach and on undoubtedly attracted the most fire.
Xia Sen read some of the push notifications and is a little confused about whether the people being scolded are fans or idiots.
And the firepower was too concentrated, they just targeted On and started scolding him alone.
The point is, in fact, the key point of today's defeat was nothing more than those few eyes.
In fact, the entire team is responsible for this. How could they let the opponent's support walk in and place a ward without being noticed?
Furthermore, it is impossible for the support to take on the responsibility of arranging vision alone.
What's more, IG had played this lineup in training matches, but in the official matches, Wink was in better shape.
The hook was too accurate, and Xia Sen was under a lot of pressure in the team battle.
In addition, yskm played badly in the team fight with Qing Gangying in the top lane, and the output environment provided to elk was also average.
In the bottom lane, on and elk actually have a huge advantage in the beginning, and they can still fight even if they are hooked.
As a result, because he was helping xun fight for the river crab, he was stunned by the Warwick in the jungle, allowing Draven to withdraw early, which resulted in the bottom lane having to develop later.
The robot with advantages and Renata with disadvantages, just listening to it brings up the picture.
But the audience doesn't think about these things. They only know to eat the hook, give Draven a withdrawal, go around the back without wards, and use a lot of ultimates in team fights.
That night, on made a profound self-examination during the review session.
It was rare that he did not refute Bin's stern face.
After returning from MSI, I can only say that the mentality of everyone in BLG has changed to a certain extent, and this change has both advantages and disadvantages.
Xia Sen actually felt that losing a small game like this was a good thing. At least it could nip the team's slowly expanding mentality in the bud.
On the second day, on was still hanging high on the hot search list and accepting punishment.
Passersby discovered that those who sprayed the most violently were basically fans of Bighand, or more precisely, female fans.
It makes people sigh that its violence level is no less than XMM.
Some relatively neutral viewers have already summarized the rules.
on the post, made violent remarks, nodded the avatar, followed the bighand super topic, and left with satisfaction.
But what they can't understand the most is...
on, a first-team support who has dominated the rankings for three consecutive weeks, has occupied the TO1 position in several support rankings with his impressive team participation rate, vision score and team-opening rate.
Just a few days ago, some people were expecting On to become a support player in the Asian Games, but after just one game, he was sentenced to death?
In the anti-game forum, people usually just curse each other after the game. Compared with those people cursing on Weibo, they can understand the game a little better. They also understand that professional players can never maintain their level all the time and there will always be mistakes.
Now the forum friends are already enjoying watching BigHand's female fans chasing after On and biting him.
"From a rational point of view, will Bighan become the next Scout (from the fans' perspective)?"
This post sparked deep discussion.
"Bighand is also unlucky to be targeted by this group of fans."
"I can't help it. I'm handsome, good at games, and a newcomer. It's hard not to be targeted."
"That makes the entire BLG team the victims."
“I hope On won’t be affected. There aren’t many supports in LPL who can do juggling.”
At the end of the discussion, the forum friends gave LBG an idea.
Don't repair the home stadium, otherwise the fans will just complain about it online
Xun got up early in the morning to surf the Internet, and the more he surfed, the more he felt sympathy for On.
He felt that yesterday's loss had little to do with ON, so why was he targeted directly?
When most teams are still playing soft supports like Lulumilio, ON's Rell and Alistar can also perform brilliantly.
In terms of hero pool, on is definitely number one in LPL right now.
But the audience never seems to pay attention to these hidden data. They just count how many hooks On took yesterday, how many Qs Renata missed, and how many times he missed the ward without opening the scan.
He shook his head, stood up and walked to the training room, looked at Xia Sen, and then turned his attention to ON.
Xun pulled Xia Sen aside.
"What should we do? Is On the only one who can adjust in this situation?"
Xia Sen nodded. He was woken up by Bin's laughter this morning. After asking, he found out that Brother Bin was watching netizens' fun of ON.
Brother Bin said it at that time.
"What's that? Isn't it normal to be scolded? That guy deserves to be scolded a few times too."
"Look at this. Haha."
bin watched the fun going on, but Xia Sen didn't find it funny and couldn't listen to it.
He was thinking at the time, what would On think when so many people who claimed to be his "fans" were scolding him?
Questions like this are what make Xia Sen most annoyed.
My thoughts returned to the training room.
ON looked indifferent, chatting and laughing as usual.
After seeing him quarreling with Brother Bin for more than ten minutes, Xia Sen felt relieved.
Forget it.
Since everyone tacitly agreed not to mention these things, there was no need to cause trouble.
soon.
The tranquility of the training room was broken by a noisy telephone ring.
After coming out of the office, Xia Sen, Xun and Bin's eyes were filled with intense excitement, and a feeling of nervousness and excitement continued to grow in their hearts.
As an older generation sports enthusiast, Xia Qiming is always following the latest news about the 23rd Asian Games.
He was teaching his classmates a study lesson when he felt his cell phone vibrate.
I picked up my phone and saw a message pushed by the [Sports Information Center] public account I followed:
June 2023, 6: Public notice: The final list of participants in the e-sports events of the Hangzhou Asian Games.
E-sports?
Xia Qiming felt that this sounded familiar. Isn't this what the kid at home was doing?
Thinking of this, Xia Qiming's hands trembled slightly.
Even now, every time I think about my son earning tens of millions a year by playing games, it seems so unreal.
And how can playing games also enter the sports meeting? I haven't heard him say that.
Xia Qiming suddenly had a bold idea in his mind. He didn't know how good his son was in this area, but he knew that with an annual income of tens of millions, he must be considered one of the top people in the industry.
The calluses on my right hand from holding chalk for many years when I was young affected my ability to touch the screen. I changed the angle and slowly slid down until it stopped at the League of Legends project.
Coach: Zhu Kai.
Athlete: Chen Zebin.
With just one glance, Xia Qiming fixed his eyes on the name he wanted to see the most.
Xia Sen.
After sitting there for a moment, my head suddenly exploded. Is there an athlete in the Xia family?
The tightness in his chest forced him to stand up and walk to the window to breathe deeply.
"Is Teacher Xia sick?"
Hearing the uneasy tone of the students in the front row, Xia Qiming waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.
At this moment, what he wanted to do most was to make a phone call to ask if there was a duplicate name.
But he thought that he might be playing a game or perhaps training, so he forced himself to suppress his excitement. After school, he wanted to take out his phone countless times but held back.
In this way, Xia Qiming, who never stayed up late, waited until 11 o'clock in the evening before he felt at ease and sent a WeChat message.
After getting a definite answer, Xia Qiming finally felt relieved after feeling depressed all day.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Say hello three times in a row.
Liu Xiaoqin, who had been feeling uneasy, breathed a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together and kept thanking her ancestors for their blessings.
Thinking that something was missing, I quickly got up and made a phone call.
"Hey, you're still awake so late. Are you happy? Oh, your brat got a promotion, right? His monthly salary is over 10,000 yuan. Oh my, that's a lot. Congratulations."
"My Xia Sen? Hey, don't mention it. He's still playing that game of his. But recently he said he was going to participate in the Asian Games held in some country."
"Oh, yes, yes, it's the Hangzhou Asian Games. He's an e-sports athlete."
"That's right. You can even win a gold medal by playing games."
"Hey, it's not that I'm trying too hard, I'm just lucky. I can even participate in the sports meet just by playing games, haha."
"."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoqin suddenly felt like she looked several years younger, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes seemed to have disappeared at that moment.
It was funny to see Xia Qiming was also talking on the phone with someone else, and it took him a long time to get down to business.
The older generation is like this. Their sons who earn tens of thousands of dollars a year don’t dare to talk about it everywhere, but once they have a moment of glory for the country, they want the whole world to know about it.
On the other side of the BLG club, elk and on are happy that their brothers have finalized the roster.
"Play well, bin, don't come back with a silver medal."
Of course, the mouth part is still indispensable.
on and elk were not selected, but although they were a little disappointed, it was actually okay because they didn't have much hope in the first place.
They looked at each other.
MD, fortunately on (elk) was not selected.
Both of them were somewhat thankful that at least there was someone from the club with them. It would have been so embarrassing if the entire team was sent off by just one person.
In the WBG base, Xiaohu sneezed and felt like someone was scolding him.
