Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 106: What I'm Thinking Can't Be Broadcast! (Please Subscribe)
As the stage lights focused and the audience cheered and applauded enthusiastically, the factory director and Li Fan walked one after the other through the contestant entrance to the interview area.

The factory manager's face remained expressionless, something everyone was used to, but the funniest person, Li Fan, was the same.

Perhaps feeling that this was a bit impolite, both of them nodded to the audience.

The host, Yu Shuang, wearing a blue-and-white porcelain-colored cheongsam, greeted everyone with a smile: "Welcome our EDG mid-jungle duo, Clearlove and Unreal. Please say hello to everyone."

It has to be said that Yu Shuang really loves wearing cheongsams.

It may also have something to do with her figure; a tighter-fitting cheongsam is indeed very alluring.

However, this time the neckline wasn't cut too low.

"Hello everyone, I'm Clearlove, the jungler for EDG," Clearlove said into the microphone, and a cheer immediately erupted from the audience.

"Hello everyone, I'm Unreal, the mid laner for EDG." Li Fan's voice was relatively calm, but the cheers from the crowd were no less intense, especially from the fans holding up his support signs.

Everyone doubted you, but you proved them wrong.

Those who post those comments online are like rats in a sewer; after EDG won the game, they disappeared without a trace.

Now all that's left is one-sided praise, and to be honest, this change of heart makes them, the loyal fans, feel extremely disgusted.

The screen is full of praise, so where are the critics from before? They couldn't have just vanished into thin air, could they?

At this time, those who dare to go against the tide are even more worthy of respect.

[Holy crap! They're in the same frame! EDG's mid and jungle players are on the same stage for the first time in an interview!]

[The factory manager's fatherly smile, while Brother Fan remains as indifferent as ever.jpg]

Why do these two look so funny standing together?

To be honest, that's really true. The factory manager used to look quite intimidating, but now he even seems to be smiling.

[He can still win the game. If he can't, look at him like this—his face is definitely dark, like he owes someone a thousand or eight hundred dollars.]

"First of all, congratulations to EDG for winning today's match cleanly and decisively with a score of 3:0, advancing to the next round." Yu Shuang looked at Clearlove and began with the first question.

"Our first question is for Clearlove. The team performed exceptionally well today, especially the mid laner Unreal, who exerted tremendous pressure in all three games. As the jungler, how did you communicate and coordinate with him during the matches?"

The factory manager took the microphone and smiled: "Well... today we executed the tactics we set up before the game quite well overall, mainly because the pre-game preparations were indeed quite thorough."

"Cooperating with Fan Ge... is actually very simple, because he is very strong in lane. He can easily gain an advantage in the mid lane without my help. In this situation, what I need to do is to counter-gank when he is pushing the lane."

"Appear when he has the ability to kill, then give him the resources in the mid-game. Then just wait for Fan Ge to take care of the opponent, and then push forward."

The factory manager paused for a moment and then said something similar to what he had said last time: "To be honest, with a mid laner like this, the jungler can play quite easily and just lie down and relax."

The audience burst into laughter.

[Mingkai: Cling tightly to the mid-lane carry!]

[Seriously! Having a mid laner like this to carry the jungler is really comfortable.]

[Affirmation from my dad!]

Yu Shuang smiled and turned to Li Fan: "It seems the factory manager has a very high opinion of you, Unreal player!"

“We all know that before the match, there were some discussions online about your training performance, saying that your performance in practice matches wasn’t very good.” Yu Shuang blinked. “But today you used three different heroes in three games and delivered very carry-like performances in all of them, especially Jayce in the first game. That angled acceleration gate was very impressive. How did you come up with that move?”

"Hmm... I discovered this during my daily ranked games. If Jayce adjusts the acceleration field to be tilted relative to his body, his cannon will enter the acceleration field in a shorter time, and the overall time will also be shorter. This will make it easier for his skills to hit the opponent and make it harder for them to react."

"This can have a surprising effect during the laning phase...that's how I managed to solo kill CoCo in the match."

The audience couldn't help but criticize these words.

"Unreal, this handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come he keeps talking nonsense and never tells the truth! I have never seen him play Jayce in ranked games."

"Wait a minute, could this be from previous practice? There are quite a few Unreal Engine ranked games from before, but the Malphite percentage is a bit high..."

"Holy crap, is it possible that Malphite is Unreal Engine's ultimate weapon, and they'll pick Malphite when they're backed up with no other options?"

"My God, this is terrifying to think about. It's actually quite possible."

"But I think Jayce's solo kill move was really cool. I didn't expect Jayce to be able to do something like that. I thought it was just about forms. I didn't know that the release of the acceleration field also had a reason."

Yu Shuang then pressed on, "That maneuver was truly amazing. Unreal players must have studied hero skills extensively in their daily gameplay."

After Yu Shuang finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter again.

"So, the second question is, in the second game you picked a team-oriented hero like Galio and played with perfect rhythm. Was this a temporary tactical adjustment by the team, or are you personally very good at this type of hero?"

"Yes, both are possible," Li Fan replied. "Hero selection needs to be adjusted based on the team composition. Galio is a very high priority in this version; he's either banned or picked. If he's available, we'll definitely take him."

"You happen to know a little about Galio, right?" Yu Shuang was already answering questions before, unlike before when she only knew how to repeat.

"Yes! Not only Galio, but also Azir and Vladimir... As a mid laner, you definitely need to master assassin heroes, support heroes, and farming heroes."

However, the viewers in the live stream were still skeptical when they heard "Tsar," but when they heard "Vampire," they felt that Li Fan was creating a smokescreen to deceive RNG.

Since the Vampire is not a high priority hero in this version and is not powerful, there is no need to specifically practice him.

In this situation, only Xiaohu and Xiye are truly good at playing vampires. However, they are usually not chosen.

[I get it, the emperor of Sand City is also a tsar!]

[That's right, how can you say the Tsar played well? He really played well!]

Yu Shuang nodded, then threw the topic back to Clearlove: "Clearlove, your next opponent is RNG, the top team in Group A. They have been in very good form during the regular season. What preparations have you made for facing them?"

The factory manager replied with a smile, "If we're playing against RNG, we don't need any preparation. Just gank bot lane at level two and we're done."

As soon as the factory director uttered the words, "Just take care of the second level and it'll be over," the entire interview room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in deafening laughter and applause!

[Hahaha, here it comes, here comes the secret recipe for beating RNG!]

[Mingkai: Playing against RNG? Easy. Just open my strategy board, and there are four big words on it: Level 2 Gank Bottom!]

[Uzi: Are you alright? Are you alright? Are you alright?]

[The factory manager has played his cards right here! It's an open strategy!]

[RNG: Received, we've started researching level 1 ward placement.]

The live stream chat exploded instantly, with "7777777" and "Level 2 gank" flooding the screen, maximizing the entertainment value.

Yu Shuang barely managed to suppress her laughter and said, "Factory Manager... are you... just announcing the tactics directly? Is it that real?"

The factory manager waved his hand and said in his distinctive accent, "No, no, just kidding, to lighten the mood. RNG is a very strong opponent, and we will definitely prepare seriously and study new tactics."

Although he said that, everyone took it as a blatant attempt to cover up his mistake, and the laughter grew even louder.

Meanwhile, inside the RNG training base.

Uzi, who was watching the interview, slammed his fist on the table: "What the hell! Mingkai, what do you mean? Are you secretly in love with me? It's been so long and you're still ganking bot lane at level two! Can't you come up with something new?!"

Uzi couldn't help but laugh after saying that, because Clearlove said to gank bot lane at level two, wasn't that just highlighting his own status?

He quite enjoys listening to others boast about themselves, especially experts.

Xiaohu, who was standing next to the factory manager, actually wanted to laugh after hearing what the factory manager said, but he quickly glanced at Uzi. After all, this was a joke at Uzi's expense... If he laughed, Uzi might get angry, which would be troublesome.
We still needed to observe further, and it turned out that Uzi didn't take it to heart and was even laughing.

Xiao Hu was relieved and laughed along with him, adding, "Proud, this shows you're intimidating enough. Look at how the factory manager plays against other teams, why doesn't he say he'll gank mid or top at level two? He's too strong, so naturally he has to limit your development."

Letme chimed in from the sidelines, "Exactly! That's impressive! EDG has already written it into their official strategy manual, and it'll become the strategy manual for other teams too..."

After the factory manager finished speaking, Yu Shuang handed the microphone to Li Fan: "So, what are Unreal's thoughts?"

Li Fan glanced at the factory manager: "Actually, I have quite a few ideas, but I'm afraid you won't be able to broadcast them."

As soon as Li Fan uttered the words, "I'm afraid you won't be able to broadcast it," Yu Shuang's eyes lit up instantly, and her smile became even brighter.

She likes contestants who can catch jokes and create entertaining moments; interviewing them is effortless and always yields great results.

She immediately responded with a smile and a playful tone, "Oh? It can't be broadcast? Then... could the Unreal player talk about something that can be broadcast, and share their thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fan picked up the microphone and said in a calm tone that now sounded menacing to everyone: "Opinion? My opinion is... their main concern is participation."

If the factory director's words "Level 2, take action" ignited the entire venue, then Li Fan's words "Participation is the most important thing" were like a bombshell dropped into the stadium, instantly stunning everyone!

Immediately following was a burst of wild laughter and screams that nearly burst through the stadium roof!
“Ahhhhh——!”

Holy crap! That's insane!

"Awesome!! Brother Fan!!!"

"EDG's mid and jungle are really witty. No wonder they've been on a winning streak. They're really something else, and the things they say are all incredibly witty."

"This is fun, this is really fun. I want to know how RNG will respond to this."

"It's over, it seems like we've been at a disadvantage... RNG is first in Group A, and they'll face EDG directly in the semifinals. There won't be any interviews, so we can't fight back."

The factory manager, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. He knew Li Fan was full of witty remarks, but he never expected this attack to be so powerful.

He usually only does abstract things, why is he doing something so flashy today?

The factory manager stared with his mouth slightly agape at his teammate, who was known for his outrageous remarks, his eyes filled with a knowing glint in his eye. "You really dare to say that, kid."

[Factory Manager: Oh no, an even more flamboyant guy has joined the team!]

[Ming Kai: It turns out I'm the conservative one]

[Factory Manager: From now on, the title of King of Trash Talk is yours!]

[Actually, if you look back at previous interviews, Unreal is still quite humble. This situation mainly arose from the chemistry he developed with Clearlove. The EDG mid-jungle duo has a strong bond; when they play together, their trash-talking ability doubles!]

On stage, Yu Shuang finally calmed down and looked at Li Fan, who had a "I'm just telling the truth" expression on his face, and said with a forced smile, "Okay... thank you very much for accepting this interview, Unreal and Clearlove. I hope you can continue to work hard in the upcoming competition and achieve your goals."

Li Fan and the factory manager waved to the fans below the stage and left amidst their cheers and screams.

At the same time, many new terms appeared in Weibo's trending topics.
