Chapter 299 Brother Sun loses a woman, Lu Bu wants an autograph

Xiao Shiqin is fully confident that he can defeat the players from Baseball.

Those old rivals, Zhang Jiale, Zhao Yang, Tian Sen, and Sun Zheping, maintained an absolutely undefeated record against the South Korean team in MSi.

They were not even spared from a single training match.

If this happens to me, won’t I become a laughing stock in the former Glory professional circle?

However, just because Xiao Shiqin has full confidence doesn't mean others do too.

For example, an old boy who had just escaped from a public opinion storm couldn't wait to call Xiao Shiqin the next day.

"Damn it, Xiao Xiao, the grouping for your game tomorrow is a bit dangerous! You can't let down your guard when playing against innovation!" Maybe because he had PTSD due to the online bullying during this period, Brother Sun's voice has become much softer.

"Brother Sun, even you don't believe in my strength?" Xiao Shiqin felt helpless.

It's not that Xiao Shiqin was arrogant and didn't take the foreign regions seriously. Rather, he had great confidence in the innovation of South Korea and was sure to win it.

Although the opponent's strength was strong, it was still within Xiao Shiqin's acceptable range.

Especially his fighting style, which was so ferocious that it could even be said to be stubborn at times, played exactly into Xiao Shiqin's hands.

Given the overall tactical level currently demonstrated by the Baseball players, do they still dare to play the reckless style in front of Xiao Shiqin?
Just wait and see how Xiao Shiqin deals with him.

"Oh shit, how could I not believe you? It's better to be safe than sorry!" Brother Sun immediately got angry. He had to explain his stance clearly.

Having just been attacked by the entire network, he was somewhat PTSD at the moment.

"But after all, South Korea has been strong in StarCraft for so many years, and the foundation is there. It's always right to be cautious!"

Hearing Brother Sun's cautious tone, Xiao Shiqin couldn't help but laugh.

He could also understand the concerns of these older generation players. After all, they had experienced the era when South Koreans dominated.

Take Brother Sun as an example. About ten years ago, Brother Sun was still a young and energetic aquatic tycoon, and the Star League was still in its heyday.

Brother Sun had just won the league championship and was feeling very proud of himself. Then he went to participate in a so-called International StarCraft Masters Tournament.

This "international" event certainly cannot have the scale and level of the current MSi or S competitions. In the final analysis, it is just a cup competition in which a few well-known StarCraft players from nearby countries are invited to play together.

Generally speaking, South Korea has very limited interest in this kind of cup competition. Even if they send people, they will usually send second-tier players or below.

The players sent this time are only second-tier in the Korean interstellar circle, but they have a very special feature.

That is, the opponent is a female player.

Even now, the gender ratio among professional players is seriously unbalanced. For example, in LPL, there are only three female players so far.

Not to mention that back then, the female player with the ID "tossgirl" was basically the only female e-sports player.

At that time, the Chinese players were very angry, saying that the South Korean side looked down on them and even sent female players over.

Then the female general sent away the new champion Sun Ge from China.

At the time, this incident caused a huge sensation in the Chinese interstellar circle, and Brother Sun's loss to a woman became an enduring laughing stock.

But on the other hand, it also shows how big the gap is between CNSC and KRSC.

Although tossgirl is known as the queen in the circle, she is just a marginal player in the top league in South Korea.

Even so, they were still defeated by the Chinese champion Brother Sun. This only shows that the gap in combat power between the Chinese and Korean interstellar circles may be a little bit bigger than the gap between CBA and NBA.

It is worth mentioning that when Tenghai invested in Storm Studios and completely revamped StarCraft into a complete RTS game, StarCraft was reborn.
It happened that Brother Sun was celebrating his 40th birthday, and he suddenly felt that he was capable again.

The rules of the game have been completely changed, and everyone has been out of the game for many years, so there should be time to play, right?

So she boldly challenged tossgirl again in a variety show performance some time ago, intending to avenge herself on her 40th birthday.

Then... the empress easily defeated us 2:0 in less than 20 minutes.

This time, Brother Sun has completely become autistic.

Could it be that this Korean player is really an invincible mountain in the Chinese universe?
So, even though Xiao Shiqin had sneaked into the Korean server before and taught all the masters a lesson despite the delay, Brother Sun was still a little worried about tomorrow's game.

"Xiao Xiao, I've come here today specifically to deliver information to you. I guarantee that after you read it, you'll be able to deal with that little Lu Bu clearly!" Brother Sun said as he patted his chest.

"Lu Bu?" Xiao Shiqin was stunned. Why did they suddenly talk about the Three Kingdoms?

"I gave Innovation this nickname when I was chatting with your Brother Huang." Brother Sun explained.

At the beginning, Brother Sun and Brother Huang had nothing to do, so they compiled a list of the outstanding StarCraft players around the world.

In order to make it easier to remember, we simply gave these contestants nicknames after the civil and military officials in the Three Kingdoms. In this way, as long as we think of the characteristics of these Three Kingdoms characters, we can understand the style and characteristics of this contestant.

"Because Innovation's fighting style is so fierce, he is good at hard combat and never retreats, so he is called Lu Bu." Brother Sun said.

Xiao Shiqin asked suspiciously: "Since he is fierce and tough, why can't it be Zhang Fei? Or Dian Wei or Xu Zhu? Why must it be Lu Bu?"

Lu Bu's position in the Three Kingdoms is very delicate.

If we only consider the more widely circulated Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then Lu Bu is undoubtedly the number one general in the Three Kingdoms, without a doubt.

Giving Innovation such a nickname, doesn't it mean that he is the best person in the interstellar world?
Seeing that Xiao Shiqin had also misunderstood, Brother Sun quickly explained: "It's not what you think!"

"When we gave nicknames to the players, we divided them according to their power."

"Because the Korean players were the absolute rulers of StarCraft before the update, we usually name them after the characters who were active during the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms."

"Names like Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun are used to nickname the players from the Korean country."

"And because Innovation is the most powerful human in the country, and may even be the strongest player in the country, we call him Lu Bu, the most powerful general under Dong Zhuo."

This explanation seemed reasonable and well-founded. Xiao Shiqin nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and asked again:
"If that's the case, then which force do our Chinese players use?"

"Of course it's Ji Han!" Brother Sun patted his chest again, looking proud, "The authentic Chinese!"

"Then what nickname did you give me?" Xiao Shiqin suddenly felt that what Brother Sun and Brother Huang were doing was quite interesting.

"Hehe... I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Brother Sun smiled and deliberately kept the question a secret. After a while, he finally revealed the answer: "Zhuge Liang! Wolong!"

Obviously, Brother Sun and Brother Huang knew how much of a stir it would cause if they gave a South Korean player the nickname of Lu Bu.

But they do feel that innovation has the world's top strength.

Therefore, in order to reduce controversy, it is very important to give the strongest player in China a title that is no weaker than Lu Bu.

After much thought, there is no other character more suitable for Xiao Shiqin except Zhuge Liang.

Xiao Shiqin was a well-known wise general during the Glory era, and he became the top tactical master after switching to StarCraft.

Zhuge Liang, a character who almost became a god in the novel, was not inferior to Lu Bu in either fame or pure fighting power.

In terms of the degree of respect in the hearts of the Chinese people, the difference is even greater. So it is quite appropriate to give Xiao Shiqin the nickname Zhuge Liang.

Hearing this, Xiao Shiqin's doubts were mostly dispelled. He suddenly remembered something and asked curiously:
"In that case, what nickname did you choose for Pei Nan?"

Considering that he is currently playing for the Thunder, could it be Jiang Wei or Jiang Boyao?

Brother Sun seemed to have been expecting Xiao Shiqin to ask this question, and he immediately smiled: "Didn't he lose to you several times in a row before?"

"And his profile picture is a savage..."

"Is it possible?"

"That's right, Meng Huo."

……

That night, Brother Sun shared with Xiao Shiqin all the information he had collected about Li Xinheng without reservation.

Innovation’s, Raynor’s… whether it’s useful or not is another matter, but it is indeed a heavy token of my heart.

Maybe Brother Sun and Brother Huang do have various problems in their personalities and styles of doing things.

But the efforts they have put into the Chinese interstellar community are absolutely impeccable.

With such a feeling in mind, Xiao Shiqin finally boarded the plane to Shanghai after careful preparation.

It has to be said that the current Shanghai has earned the title of e-sports capital in China.

After all, the e-sports foundation here is really profound.

The headquarters of Tencent, a world-leading e-sports game developer, operator and event organizer, is located here.

The most important e-sports league, LPL, is also held here.

Going back a little bit, the home court of Glory's last championship, Samsara, is also located here.

Because of this, under the subtle influence of these days, Shanghai’s tolerance for e-sports can be said to be the best in the country.

Many other e-sports leagues, whether they are giants like Tencent or other small competitions that want to get a piece of the pie, like to hold their competitions here.

The Golden Tour Open also chose this place.

Before the game started, Xiao Shiqin had the opportunity to meet the player who was given the name of Lu Bu, innovation, Li Xinheng.

Although this guy has such a tough nickname and an equally tough gaming style, he is surprisingly a very easy-going guy.

He wears round-frame glasses, looks very scholarly, and is introverted. After getting to know Xiao Shiqin, he behaves very friendly. This is not Lu Bu at all; it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is Cai Yong.

While Xiao Shiqin was looking at Li Xinheng, Li Xinheng was also quietly observing him.

Is this the Protoss who won three games in a row against me?
He is a very gentle person, but he uses a fierce ID like destroyer in Korea.

(Isn’t Xiao Shiqin’s account “Shenglingmie”?)

Xiao Shiqin went to the Korean server and educated the masters there. Although this matter was not well known in China because Xiao Shiqin kept it strictly confidential.

But in South Korea, it caused an uproar.

When StarCraft announced its complete overhaul, the Koreans were the most excited.

This is their national sport. We thought it would withdraw from the e-sports stage in the post-Glory era, but who knew it would be reborn one day?
All of a sudden, countless veterans from that time became active again, and various interstellar teams immediately began to carry out drastic reforms.

It even affected the LCK.

The reason why LCK spent so much effort and could only recruit one player of this level from Ambition in the summer transfer was because the remaining ones all went to StarCraft.

They are determined to win this game that was once completely dominated by South Korea.

Old players like Deng began to rehabilitate, and young talents like Li Xinheng began to emerge like mushrooms after rain.

If we ignore the fact that the most important coaching industry is still in a very serious vacuum state, and can only be temporarily filled by some pre-StarCraft players,

The Korean interstellar world is once again thriving.

Until Xiao Shiqin appeared.

At that time, Xiao Shiqin heard from Brother Sun that the StarCraft game in South Korea was very powerful, so he became curious, so he bought an account on the Korean server and started playing despite the delay.

Then he educated almost all the famous players from the South Korean country, young and old, one by one.

At that time, the top e-sports executives in South Korea were still ecstatic, saying that another autocratic interstellar super genius was about to rise in our great country of the underworld.

They then began to investigate who this genius boy with the ID "destroyer" was, and the major South Korean conglomerates were even ready to snatch him away.

After checking, I found that the ladder used by this guy to log in had an IP address overseas and the account was purchased.

There is no doubt that this is a major blow like a bolt from the blue for the top executives of the South Korean StarCraft team who had originally had high expectations.

With a last-ditch hope, they spent money to dig out the information of the current user of the account and opened a box for Xiao Shiqin.

What if... he's an international student studying in China?
The result was cruel. The opponent was a Chinese of good descent, a well-known figure in fact, a former Glory All-Star and one of the four great tactical masters.

This news spread like wildfire in South Korea, immediately causing countless e-sports fans and players to lose their guard.

You know, at that time, SKT had just been defeated by Fanhua and G2 in succession, and had just reached the semi-finals, with Fanhua being crowned the number one division.

The fact that the e-sports industry, which the Koreans are so proud of, was beaten badly by the Eastern superpower that they dislike the most has already broken the defenses of the Koreans.

But at that time they were still able to comfort themselves by saying that it was just a new project and everyone was not used to it.

After all, StarCraft is your strong point, right? Didn't you get beaten up by Xiao Shiqin?
The opponent is not even the King of Sanya like Zhang Jiale who has many honors. He is only a second-tier player in the Chinese Glory circle.

For the South Korean interstellar community, this is a humiliation comparable to Sun Ge losing to a woman.

Therefore, all the Baseball players who were able to participate in this Shanghai Open were gearing up for the event.

It is our responsibility to restore the glory of our country in the interstellar space!
As Li Xinheng shook hands with Xiao Shiqin, a sharp light flashed quietly in his scholarly eyes behind his glasses.

Xiao Shiqin?

I lost three games to you in a row last time. It was indeed because I was not as skilled as you.

Well, this time, let me learn from your tricks!

　That’s it for tonight, probably no updates.

　　There will be an update tomorrow during the day, so stay tuned.

　　So considering the recent updates, I hope you can give me some monthly votes. It's not too much, right?
