LOL: The No. 1 Succubus in the eSports Circle

Chapter 162 Interview with Teacher Xi Ran (Water)
[Ding——The competition is over, the progress of the stamp collecting task is updated]

[Collect 5 solo kills against LPL mid-lane players (collected: Twila, KongMing, Huatian, Xiaohu, Knight, 5/5) | Mission requirements: ① LPL League or Demacia Cup, ② Each player is counted only once, ③ Win the game when the first two conditions are met | Mission difficulty: ☆☆☆☆ | Mission reward: Any hero proficiency - mastery (can be claimed at any time). ]

[Collect 5 professional arena MVPs (4/5) | Mission requirements: LPL League or Demacia Cup | Mission difficulty: ☆☆☆☆ | Mission reward: Proficiency of any hero - Mastery. ]

With the joy of winning the game and the progress update of the stamp collecting task, Cui Ze took off his headphones and twisted his neck, then smiled brightly at the camera and gave a thumbs up.

In the third game, his laning phase was targeted and he gave away two kills in a row in the early stage, but fortunately he found a way to break the deadlock in time and helped Sima Laozei and the policewoman win the game.

To be honest, Sima Laozei is really comprehensive. He can play traditional late-game core AD like Caitlyn, early and mid-game rhythm AD like EZ and Lucian, functional AD like Ashe and Jhin, and even mages like Cassiopeia and Karthus.

Such a deep hero pool can indeed make SN's BP tactical arrangements more flexible and changeable, and it is also difficult to be absolutely targeted by bans.

From the perspective of the mid laner, this kind of bottom lane is the least worrying.

"Brother Ma, this policewoman is played well!"

Faced with Cui Ze's praise, Sima Laozei still did not respond, but the corners of his mouth that were always raised revealed his attitude.

Snake also came over and said with a grin, "Today, Old Thief C you, tomorrow it will be your turn to C. I believe you can definitely beat Rookie!"

Cui Ze couldn't laugh anymore.

I beat Rookie?

If you can kill someone alone once, it will be considered a success!
After completing the task of collecting stamps and killing LPL mid-lane players 5 times, you can raise the proficiency of a hero to "mastery", and perhaps try a surprise tactic.

It’s a pity that Neeko is banned by default in the German Cup, so there is one less hero that can be used as a surprise weapon.

However, you can try Pike. This hero has basically been defaulted to the support position since its launch, but based on his memories of S9 in his previous life, Cui Ze knows very well that Pike can also be very effective if he is used in the middle lane.

Tomorrow, I’ll open your eyes!
Drag them all into the water!
In this BO3 against TOP, SN won the first and third games respectively, with Cui Ze and Sima Laozei as MVPs respectively.

However, Choi Taek appeared quite a lot in the post-match interviews on the main stage, so in order to balance it out as much as possible, this time Sheshe and Sima Laozei went together to accept Ren Dong's post-match interview.

Cui Ze was not idle either. He went backstage to accept Xi Ran's LCK-commissioned interview.

Unlike live interviews, although you also need to face the camera, it is not a live interview. Instead, the interview will be edited and posted on Korean forums.

And as an interview host, Xiran can also post interview videos on his own account.

When he arrived at the interview room, Cui Ze found that only Teacher Xi Ran was there.

"What's going on, Sister Xiran? Why are you alone?"

"Is it not good for me to be alone?" Xi Ran smiled and took his hand, took out a wet tissue and wiped his face, and explained: "Although the commissioned interview also requires facing the camera, it is not a live interview. We can record the interview video, edit it, and then send it to LCK."

Cui Ze pointed to the camera that had been set up in front of the interview curtain wall and said, "So you can do this by yourself?"

"Well, what else?" Teacher Xi Ran raised his chin proudly, "I learned these things when I was at the college radio station. I can do it by myself."

"After recording the video, did you also edit it yourself?"

"Yes."

“Amazing!” Cui Ze lowered his head and pecked Teacher Xi Ran lightly on the lips, then hugged her slender waist and praised: “As expected of my teacher Xi Ran, you are proficient in all eighteen martial arts!”

"Go away, this is not your house. You take advantage of no one around to touch me. You're such a bad guy!" Xiran said these words with disdain but did not stop his little actions.

After wiping his face, Xiran looked at him carefully for a while. The more she looked at this handsome face, the more she liked it.

The young couple hugged each other for several minutes before they came to the camera, which had been set up. They turned on the recording and entered the interview mode, and both of them went straight into the Korean mode.

Xi Ran waved towards the camera: "Aniha Saiyo~ This is the 2018 Demacia Winter Cup in China. I am the interview host Xi Ran. The player I want to interview today is the mid laner of the winning team SN - Cui Ze Veronica!"

After reading the opening words, she looked at Choi Taek and said, "Say hello to the LCK audience?"

Choi Taek also smiled and waved to the camera: "Aniyo, I'm Choi Taek Veronica, happy to meet the LCK audience."

Xi Ran immediately entered the interview state: "Well! Our player Cui Ze just defeated the TOP team and successfully advanced to the finals of this Demacia Winter Cup. Speaking of which, both SN and TOP went through large-scale reorganizations not long ago. What do you think are the main reasons for Cui Ze's victory over TOP today?"

"The reason." Cui Ze thought for a moment, "First of all, from the perspective of our SN team configuration, the top and jungle are all veterans from last season. They have worked well together and are very strong. XiaoAL in particular has been nominated for the best top laner of the year."

"In addition, SMLZ and SwordArt in the bottom lane are both well-known and strong veterans with rich experience, so after the team was formed, we were able to get along very quickly. I think this is a very important reason why we beat TOP."

Xi Ran nodded: "An old man in the family is like a treasure. This proverb left by the ancients is the same in any field. Cui Ze's performance in the German Cup is also very good. So far, he has won the MVP of 4 small games. Please tell us your own feelings?"

When talking about "winning the MVP in 4 small games", Teacher Xiran's bright eyes seemed to sparkle with brilliance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously grinned, smiling very brightly.

So Choi Taek also forgot to look at the camera, and smiled brightly at her and answered: "For now, I am still very satisfied with my performance. The brothers in the team are also very humble and willing to give me the stage to perform. So I am very grateful for their trust in winning the MVP many times."

When asking questions and conducting interviews, Xi Ran and Cui Ze were very "scheming" in saying what LCK audiences wanted to hear.

Bullying is common in South Korea's schools and workplaces, and the field of e-sports is no exception. Every time a team is exposed for bullying, it always causes heated discussions in the circle. Fans and audiences will even petition or protest to the team and the LCK League in various ways, which in turn affects the workplace culture of the LCK.

If it was a domestic media interview, Xi Ran's questions would probably be more cheerful, and Cui Ze's answers would also be mixed with some teasing towards his teammates, or even harmless sarcasm, in a smile.

But since this is an interview with LCK, we naturally have to change the approach.

Xiran followed up on this topic and asked, "So the atmosphere in SN's team is very relaxed, right? Will XiaoAL, SMLZ, and SwordArt take good care of you and H4cker in your daily life? If so, in what aspects will it be reflected?"

Choi Taek: "As for XiaoAL, even though he is the captain, he is not arrogant at all when you are with him, and he is a very talkative person, so the atmosphere in the team will never become cold with him around."

"As for SMLZ, it is well known that he has a cold personality and doesn't talk much, which makes people feel that he is difficult to get along with. But in fact, he is the type of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He just isn't good at expressing himself."

Xi Ran interrupted and asked, "What exactly would he do to make you feel that he is such a person?"

Cui Ze smiled and said, "Exactly. Whenever he's happy, he doesn't say it out loud. Instead, when he trains until late at night, he orders delicious takeout for us, or finds an opportunity to treat us to dinner at a high-end restaurant. This is how he expresses his goodwill and recognition of us."

"What about the SwordArt players?"

"As for SwordArt, because his nickname is 'Snake' and he has a very gentle personality, we all like to call him 'Snake Mom'. For example, when we arrived in Xi'an, the temperature was lower than in Shanghai, so he reminded us to put on thicker clothes and bought hot drinks for everyone. He cared about all the team members like a responsible elder brother."

Afterwards, Cui Ze talked about Hacker, the funny guy in the team, as if he was chatting about family matters. He answered teacher Xiran's questions and used vivid language to describe the basic image of each member of the SN team.

After chatting about family matters, Xiran asked again: "By the way, after defeating the TOP team, you will face the S8 World Finals champion IG tomorrow afternoon. Do you feel nervous now?"

"If I say I'm not nervous at all, I'd be lying." Cui Ze said seriously, "But rather than being nervous, I'm more excited and looking forward to it. Napoleon said, 'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.' As an e-sports player, of course I'm eager to defeat all my opponents."

"Over the past year, the IG team has shown a very high level of competition, so all the SN team members, including me, are looking forward to presenting a wonderful match for all the audience tomorrow!"
