We are tired of winning championships, and we still need youth training?

Chapter 158 You like to disgust me? I'll find someone to write about you right away!

"It's finally starting, the Spring Split."

It's only been a little over a month since the Lunar New Year, but the new season has already begun.

Today is the opening ceremony of the S10 Spring Split.

Xu Xinghe, wearing an IG team uniform and a down jacket, gazed at the stage in the chilly wind and murmured softly.

Even though he has only been a professional player for less than a year, he has already reached the top of the professional gamers.

"Damn it, where did all this wind come from? It's making me a little delirious."

Saint Gunner shivered in the side wind, his lips as sweet as honey.

He couldn't understand why a cold draft would occasionally blow through the closed backstage area.

Is this really reasonable?

"Today's opponent isn't strong. As long as everyone plays seriously, winning 2-0 shouldn't be a problem. Don't play recklessly."

Karma offered a reminder.

Missing smiled, a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "Is it really just that you're not very strong, Coach?"

Upon hearing this, even Xu Xinghe's eyes flickered.

The reason is simple: their opponent at today's opening ceremony is RW.

What kind of team is RW?
When you mention RW in S8, you think of the spirited and ambitious team.

but now?

RW is just a bottom-tier team; they have neither strength nor popularity, and viewers don't even bother to look at them. They can't even find teams to play against in scrims.

Logically speaking, this is indeed preferential treatment given to IG by the LPL officials.

After all, winning the opening ceremony is definitely better than losing!
Let IG play against weaker teams first to practice their teamwork and build confidence.

But the question is, does IG really need this kind of preferential treatment?
No, quite the opposite.

The players in this IG team may not be as strong as they were last year, but they are just as competitive and have just as strong a sense of pride.

Failure is perfectly acceptable.

Failure is indeed painful for them, but it is precisely because of this that they have the courage and determination to get back up after a failure.

Lost? Then we'll get our revenge next time!
This is the most genuine thought of the players right now.

In this situation, they would rather play against strong teams than weak ones.

SN, TES, FPX, RNG.

These four teams are the ones IG most wants to play against right now.

Don't ask why JDG isn't included; the answer is simply that five teams aren't enough.

"Um, Xinghe-ge?"

Some hesitant voices rang out backstage, and everyone's eyes, including Xu Xinghe's, turned to look.

The contestant who spoke was startled and stammered as he spoke.
"Um, can I take a picture with you after the fight?"

"I am your fan."

Xu Xinghe's lips twitched.

Good guy.

Ever since Mingkai was beaten up by his own fans, the phrase "I'm your fan" has become anything but a compliment!

Most importantly, the person who spoke was also a jungler, with the ID haro.

He was once the second son of EDG.

He is also considered the highest mountain in the LPL (in terms of academic qualifications).

Among a group of professional players who dropped out of high school, Haro, a genuine college student, can certainly be considered a highly educated individual.

Let alone those from first-tier universities, there are very few even those with undergraduate degrees.

Even with a bachelor's degree, Piggy can easily outshine a lot of people.

"no problem."

Xu Xinghe wouldn't refuse such a small request.

Although he doesn't make many friends, he's quite indifferent to taking photos or getting autographs.

Now that he's gained status, not many professional players dare to approach him.

The contestants were waiting backstage when the host came on stage.

Today's female host is Yu Shuang.

As a veteran female host in the LPL, she's the only one qualified for the opening ceremony.

Yu Shuang wore a moon-white cheongsam adorned with plum blossoms. Her warm and friendly smile as she greeted the players drew the attention of several RW players on the roadside.

However, she encountered a setback with IG.

Saint Gun remained silent at this moment, only smiling.

Rookie chatted with Yu Shuang for a few minutes with a smile, but only because of his girlfriend, Xiao Yu.

The two players in the bot lane were completely ignored.

Viper came from a youth training program in South Korea, where there are many materialistic women. Her coach specifically warned her not to get involved with hosts or commentators.

Moreover, he's currently only focused on the thrill of battle and winning the championship, and has no thoughts about anything else. So, no matter how beautiful Yu Shuang is, it won't matter.

Missing was once the crown prince of WE, and he was also a treasured core support player for JDG.

Of course, some people have offered their advice, but they have responded with indifference.

As for Xu Xinghe...

Sorry, he has a bit of face blindness.

Aside from his adorable girlfriend, all other women are the same to him.

Yu Shuang is old enough to be Xu Xinghe's mother, how could he possibly have feelings for her?

He's not like those 8Us on the anti-fan forum, constantly feeling suppressed.

Yu Shuang didn't mind being rebuffed; she just wanted to be friends with the contestants, and if it didn't work out, so be it.

"Welcome everyone to the opening ceremony of the 2020 League of Legends LPL Spring Split. I am your host today, Yu Shuang."

She walked onto the stage, smiled, and delivered her opening remarks.

"Time flies, winter has passed and spring has come. The LPL 2020 Spring Split has finally begun. In the new year, many outstanding teams have emerged in the LPL, while the established powerhouses have maintained their competitiveness."

"Who will ultimately prevail in this year's Spring Split and represent the LPL at MSI to compete for the honor of the World Championship?"

"Let us wait and see!"

"Next, let's welcome the two teams from the opening ceremony to the stage."

"First of all, welcome!"

"——invictus gaming!"

"I-G!"

As dynamic and fast-paced music played, the official photos of the five contestants appeared one after another on the big screen on the stage.

Xu Xinghe changed his pose in this year's official photos.

He was wearing an IG team jersey jacket, raising one hand to make a firing gesture, with his other hand on top of the other. His expression was serious and sharp, which diluted the fragility that came with his handsome appearance, making him incredibly handsome.

"Top lane, Flandre!"

Saint Gun wore glasses and smiled shyly.

He waved to the audience while jogging to the center of the stage to bow.

"Oh oh oh!!"

"Holy crap, a gun!"

"Lock Gun, I miss you!"

The reactions, both from the audience and the online comments, were quite enthusiastic.

Although Flandre doesn't have any particularly impressive accolades, he's played in the LPL for so long, and everyone knows how good he is.

The main reason people don't believe him is because of his age.

Among the top laners aged 19 to 20, a 23-year-old (almost 24) veteran like Lao Deng is indeed quite eye-catching.

How much fuel does he have left?

No one knows.

Nobody dared to believe it.

However, there has already been enough support for Flandre.

But compared to the contestants who came on next, it was like night and day.

Yu Shuang knew how important the next person was, and with a broad smile, she raised her voice again:
"Jungler, Galaxy!"

In an instant, the entire venue erupted in applause and cheers that were nothing short of outrageous.

Many excited spectators even stood up.

"Brother Xinghe! Brother Xinghe! Brother Xinghe!" "Stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars!"

"Xinghe is awesome! Keep it up, Xinghe!"

Among these voices, a burly man suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly:

"My husband fucked me!"

The sound was so loud that it was not only picked up by Yu Shuang's microphone, but also by Xu Xinghe, who was walking onto the stage.

He was so stunned that he almost fell over.

[Haha, even Xinghe Ge is tired of hearing this.]

[I almost fell just now, hahaha, I bet Xinghe is totally stunned.]

[Haha, a gay man is actually my fan?!]

The viewers in the live chat were laughing hysterically.

The audience at the scene witnessed this and couldn't stop laughing.

The atmosphere instantly became cheerful.

Xu Xinghe forced himself to remain calm as he walked onto the stage, bowed to the audience like Saint Gun, and then sat down in his seat with a twitching smile.

"That's the expression, that's the expression that's hard to keep up."

"Xinghe, how are you feeling now? How are you feeling?"

Flandre lowered his head, hiding his face from the camera as he laughed heartily.

Before the Lunar New Year, Xu Xinghe flaunted his girlfriend, causing him to feel like he had been shot in the knee from time to time throughout the holiday.

If you wake up in the middle of the night, they'll always say, "You bastard, you deserve to die!"
While it's certainly upsetting to see one's own failure, it's equally unpleasant to see one's brother driving a Land Rover.

For Saint Gun Bro, being able to thoroughly disgust Xu Xinghe is incredibly satisfying.

Today, I was left to my own devices by Xu Xinghe, and then subjected to military training by the other side!

It was already worth the price of admission!
"Heh, I curse that the female protagonists in the novels you read will never be virgins."

Xu Xinghe had no expression on his face.

Holy Gun Bro: !

"You fucking beast!"

Besides watching anime, he usually reads novels, especially harem anime.

But there are far too few of these things, for various reasons.

Saint Gun Bro is an old Y-ba forum member, his defense is terrifyingly low.

Its aggressiveness can be described as extremely strong.

Now that Xu Xinghe is attacking him like this, Holy Gun Bro is really starting to feel uneasy.

"What birth? Are you talking about me? I'm not planning on having children yet."

Rookie plopped down, and as soon as he put on his headphones, he heard Flandre cursing Xu Xinghe's birth, and he laughed and replied with a comment.

Saint Gun stroked his chin and blurted out something out of the blue:
"Your mid laner is really awesome, I have to say."

Rookie was surprised:

"What's so amazing?"

Saint Gun Bro gave a wicked smile: "Isn't that impressive? Let me give you a few examples."

He didn't rush to speak, but instead asked his teammates to turn off their microphones.

Then he spoke:

"First, there was that guy from TES. A bunch of girls were messaging him online. He put on a pretty good persona. Some of the girls even broke up with their boyfriends to try and hook up with a rich guy, but he just ate the sugar coating and returned the bullet."

"The second one is the one from FPX. I guess he'll get naturalized in the future, which will bring him both fame and fortune. His girlfriend is a great help to his career."

"Then there's that guy from RNG. He's had several girlfriends, and they all ended amicably."

"Finally, there's you. We've been together for quite a while and our relationship is still great. You're not in a hurry to get married, and neither are they pressuring you."

"On the contrary, what kind of girlfriends do those ADs find?"

"for example--"

Xu Xinghe coughed and quickly interrupted.

"Don't bring up Uzi. Mimi is actually a nice person. Don't make baseless guesses. Who hasn't had a few boyfriends these days?"

Saint Gun smiled noncommittally, neither confirming nor denying the statement, but instead asked:
"So, will you talk or not?"

Xu Xinghe smiled.

"You know my girlfriend."

Saint Gun Bro's face turned green, and his gossipy heart instantly vanished.

BYD, you fucking deserve to die!

Let's not talk about Xu Xinghe's bag.

I clearly had better options.

Why bother looking for gold in a garbage dump?
Regardless of whether it's actually gold or not, the brilliance of stereotypes lies in the fact that they're actually quite accurate.

Xu Xinghe is a virgin, so it's normal and reasonable for him to find a virgin.

Uzi's indifference doesn't mean he doesn't mind.

Furthermore, he keeps his distance from people with tattoos, regardless of gender.

Many people say that tattoos don't necessarily mean a person has bad character, and that's definitely true.

But many people say that people with tattoos shouldn't be discriminated against, which is absurd.

Isn't tattooing an expression of rebellion against the world, an expression of self and individuality?

There's nothing wrong with you getting a tattoo, and there's nothing wrong with Xu Xinghe discriminating against people with tattoos either.

Isn't what you're fighting against worldly conventions?

If society discriminates against you, you'll be unhappy about it.

However, he had a good relationship with Uzbekistan, so he naturally wouldn't say much about such matters.

Respect and blessings.

Missing had barely sat down when she heard Flandre gossiping about LPL girlfriends, and couldn't help but smirk.
"Are you under too much pressure? You really dare to say something like this. If anyone keeps their mouth shut, you'll be trending on social media tomorrow."

Saint Gun Bro laughed: "Oh ho? Rice Vinegar is worried that something might happen to me? Bringing barbecue these past few days wasn't for nothing, Dad is very happy."

Missing sneered: "Gunner, whenever I try to show you a little more respect, you start talking."

Viper was a little confused.

"They, who are they...?"

You might say they have a bad relationship, but they often order takeout and don't forget each other's portions, and they talk the most in the training room every day.

If you're saying they have a good relationship, what kind of nice person would keep saying they're dating?
The so-called communication was just a war of words.

They communicated a lot.

Viper finds interpersonal relationships incredibly complicated.

"It's just a love-hate relationship."

Xu Xinghe smiled slightly.

"A cheeky, witty top laner and a haughty, aloof support – they make a pretty good couple."

Saint Gun disgusted him, so he'll disgust him back.

Since I have some free time, I'll take a look at Weibo's super topic after the match.

Or find two ghostwriters to write fanfiction about Saint Gun and Missing every day.

This bastard is disgusting!

"Yue~!"

"yue——!"

Saint Gun and Missing simultaneously gagged.

Is what Xu Xinghe is saying even human language?

They both felt like throwing up just listening to it.

For Flandre, this thing is more terrifying than 100,000 S9 TheShys!
"What does this have to do with me, Xinghe-ge?"

Missing is a bit speechless.

"It's okay, Missing suffers a bit, let Viper take the blame."

Xu Xinghe smiled.

Viper: ?
What about me?
Just as they were chatting, Karam finally spoke up.

"Alright, the match is about to start. Let's talk after we finish."
