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

Chapter 74 Justice is Executed, Public Enemy of the Entire Internet! (Please Subscribe)
The moment the match ended, major social media platforms for League of Legends exploded as if a depth charge had been dropped.

Because in the very first moment, Li Fan's LeBlanc pentakill, Syndra's solo kill in three minutes, and the scene of chasing and suppressing WuZhuang in the mid lane were edited into GIFs and appeared in every game group and forum.

But what truly sent the entire internet into an unbelievable frenzy was that GIF of a minion's basic attack.

This GIF isn't as flashy as the previous pentakill or solo kill; it's just a simple example of LeBlanc raising her hand to perform a basic attack, and then the minions appear with exclamation marks but don't attack LeBlanc.

No one has ever seen such a scene before, let alone in a professional competition.

This was the first time such a detailed maneuver had occurred in a professional match, causing Wu-Zhuang to call a timeout, which became an even more explosive focus than the pentakill.

Of course, there's also a GIF in the game where Wuzhuangtai's LeBlanc is solo killed by Li Fan's Syndra in the second game, and then slides off the position backward.

……

"Wow! Today's match went so smoothly!" Mouse stood up from his seat, stretched, and then let out a long sigh.

He really didn't do anything in those two rounds, he didn't even get hit.

It's like going to work on the top lane with V; you farm a wave of minions, and I farm a wave of minions.

When the jungler comes, they usually just stop short of causing serious trouble.

Of course... given the huge advantage in the mid lane, V is guaranteed to die if the mid laner comes up to gank.

So one advantage of having more mouse than V is that you don't have to worry about being ganked and killed by the mid laner.

Play naturally, relax, and have fun.

As a player who transitioned from mid to bottom lane, zet is even more aware of the quality of Li Fan's performance in these two games.

That's really insane. He's quiet in the club, but he's ruthless in matches. If I were on the opposing team, I'd be mentally broken right now.

Thinking it over, I casually opened the damage screen.

Seeing Syndra deal 25,000 damage, I couldn't help but gasp in shock...

Damn, he has a full 17,000 more than me. We're both C's, so I feel really stupid.

The factory manager is always happy to win the game, but he is not as excited as he was when he won against GT in the previous game.

To put it dramatically, the last match was practically my retirement game. If I continued to lose, I wouldn't have the face to remain in the professional arena. And that's the truth of the matter.

If you find yourself no longer dominant in the league, you'll decisively retire and give up your position...

"Let's go and shake hands. Don't linger here for too long and get chased by the referee to shake hands, which would result in the club fining you another 10,000 yuan."

"That's right. It would be better to give us this 10,000 yuan to improve our meals than to give it to the government."

"You kid..."

Amidst laughter and cheers, the entire EDG team had already headed towards NB's player bench, but they could clearly sense something was off about the atmosphere on their side just halfway across the line.

"Li Fan, be careful for a moment." After all, the factory manager was a player from the same era as Wu Zhuangtai, so he knew all too well what kind of person Wu Zhuangtai was.

They lost the match and were even given a lesson on forehand and backhand techniques; who knows what kind of underhanded tactics they might use offline?

"Should I avoid his edge?"

LPL players have all sorts of flaws. Uzi and Bin are at most considered "giant babies," and both were promoted by their clubs and fans. Everything about them has its reasons.

But Wuzhuangtai is a typical petty person. If you offend him, he will do everything he can to take advantage of you.

The factory manager's lips twitched... He really didn't expect Li Fan to say that.

Li Fan also realized that the factory manager was joking.

The factory manager, a professional player who's usually reserved but secretly witty, doesn't joke around very often. I replied like that because I wanted to tease him a little...

However, Tianye didn't understand and asked curiously, "Will there be a fight later?" He was also a new generation of professional players and had never experienced fighting online or offline. To be honest, he was really eager to try it out after what the factory manager said.

For example, in the professional competitions of ancient times, there was the famous Mantis Boxing, and the Mineral Water Incident, where Jess used one hand.

After hearing Tian Ye's words, the factory manager could no longer hold back.

"Now that competitions are so standardized, how could there be fights? What are you thinking? Even in the old professional competitions, no matter how unhappy you were, you still did a good job of putting on a good show."

Tianye suddenly felt it was all meaningless; the factory manager was still telling him to be careful.

However, the bad atmosphere surrounding NB was even more apparent during the handshake.

Li Fan shook hands with Wu Zhuangtai with a big smile. Wu Zhuangtai was mentally exhausted from being beaten, but what did it have to do with him? As long as he was happy.

Looking at Li Fan's smile, Wu Zhuangtai realized it was a complete mockery of him. Recalling his clown-like remarks and the stats of being utterly crushed in both games, a nameless anger rose within him.

Being so arrogant right after starting your professional career, you really need to be taught a lesson by your seniors.

Almost instinctively, he clenched his fingers tightly, using tremendous force, as if he wanted to crush the hand bones of the newcomer who had ruined his reputation.

He stared at Li Fan's hand with a sinister look in his eyes, his teeth clenching silently.

The smile on Li Fan's face froze instantly. The immense force coming from his hand made him immediately understand Wu Zhou's intention.

Ha, playing this game?
Li Fan sneered inwardly, but his expression quickly changed from a smile to astonishment. Then, his brows furrowed slightly, his lips twitched, and he hissed softly as if in pain. His body also leaned forward slightly, as if trying to pull his hand back but being held tightly.

Wu Zhuangtai felt incredibly relieved upon hearing this.

But at that moment, a force far more terrifying and domineering than the one he had used suddenly rebounded from Li Fan's hand! He felt as if the bones in his hand were about to break!

Wu Zhuang suddenly raised his head, his face instantly turning bright red, and the veins on his forehead and neck bulged due to the sudden, intense pain.

Li Fan's face still held the expression of pain from being pinched, and his eyes even carried a hint of innocence and confusion, as if asking why he used so much force.
But the force in his hand did not weaken at all; on the contrary, he secretly increased the force.

All of this happened in an instant, and many people hadn't even had time to react.

However, the expressions on both sides also gave rise to a lot of speculation.

Wu Zhuangtai's appearance clearly indicates that he is exerting force, and Li Fan has been injured.

"Damn it, you can't beat them in the game, so you're playing offline?" Tianye yelled.

The factory manager suddenly turned around and rushed over, shoving Wuzhuangtai hard.

Li Fan took this opportunity to loosen his grip...

Mouse glared angrily with his big eyes, looking like he'd charge in if the factory manager told him to.

A referee nearby was startled and immediately came over.

The staff also rushed to the match area.

And under the lens, both the viewers in the live broadcast room and the audience at the scene could see it clearly.

An uproar erupted immediately!
[Holy crap! What just happened? Did WuZhuangtai squeeze Unreal's hand hard? He's lost his nerve; he can't beat them online, so let's play offline!]

Although I don't like Unreal, his performance in the game won me over. That damn Cool can't even beat these guys in a match?

[What a disgusting guy! Unreal is probably a Gen Z, right? He's only 17 at most now. Isn't WuZhuangTai bullying a kid?]

[Lu Benwei said when Faker won his third championship, "If I had known he was this strong, I should have broken his hand when we shook hands." WuZhuangTai just did that, right?]

[You son of a bitch, you can't win the competition, so you resort to dirty tricks?]

[A ban is necessary!]

The audience members at the scene were even harsher in their insults.

He yelled from the audience, "I'm so damn stupid!"
In competitive games, it's normal to go back and practice if you can't beat someone. If you're bad, practice more and get back at them later. But this guy, Wu-Zhuangtai, seized the opportunity to retaliate during the handshake. What kind of behavior is that?
This is utterly despicable!

Su Xiaoyan, who was providing commentary at the scene, had a serious expression: "Did Wu-tai-zhou squeeze Unreal's hand hard during the handshake just now?"

Although it is a question, the tone is already affirmative.

Wu Zhuangtai was stunned. He initially wanted to teach Li Fan a lesson, and then immediately let go so that the other party would have nowhere to seek redress, since it was hard to explain.

But to my utter surprise... the other side was much stronger than me. My attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and I ended up getting taught a lesson instead.

However, judging from Li Fan's feigned pained expression and the factory manager's furious glare as he rushed over and pushed them, it was clear that they believed Li Fan had been wronged.

"What the hell do you want to do?" the factory manager cursed, pointing his finger at Wuzhuangtai's nose.

The staff nearby were extremely panicked, fearing that a fight would break out on the field.

"Mingkai, calm down! Mingkai, calm down!"

Meanwhile, Abu and Quickstar had already arrived at the players' battle station in the backcourt locker room.

"Damn it! I'll fuck your mother!" Quick Star sneaked up from behind and kicked Wu Zhuangtai.

Li Fan is now his precious darling for promotion and a raise. If he were to injure his hand because of this, he would want to kill Wu Zhuangtai.

"Is Li Fan alright?" Abu asked worriedly.

"I didn't! It wasn't me..." Wu-Zhuangtai, who was lying on the ground, had been protected by the referee and staff, who were afraid that the angry EDG would rush up and kick him again. But when they heard Wu-Zhuangtai say this, they all rolled their eyes.

It's all clearly visible on camera.

It's obvious that you lost the game because you were out of form, and then, out of anger and embarrassment, you took advantage of your seven or eight years of extra experience to bully the kid.

What a wonderful child...

You pinched him so hard he screamed on the spot.

Are you even human? How can you say you don't have it?

Didn't you see that none of your teammates came to help you? And you're still yelling here?

At this moment, NB's manager and coach also appeared at the game table.

The manager apologized to Abu as soon as he arrived.

Abu waved his hand and asked irritably, "Is this how you guys at NB manage your players? No wonder you can produce a player like Doinb."

The NB manager was so choked up that he couldn't even speak.

That's true, after all. The current NB is the former QG... the current QG is the team that was promoted from the previous team, QG, and then renamed.

At that time, they were playing against EDG in the semifinals. Because Doinb withdrew from the match, EDG won the best-of-five series in just one second. Now they were facing off against each other. Abu pointed his finger at Doinb and scolded the management for having problems, which was absolutely right.

Seeing that the arguments on the field were having a bad influence, the officials quickly went up and asked the players to go backstage to deal with the situation.

However, due to the severity of the situation, the authorities have assured that it will be dealt with seriously.

Wu Zhuang was extremely anxious, realizing that he was the one who was clearly at a disadvantage!
Li Fan, standing behind, looked at Wu Zhuangtai without saying anything, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

WuZhuangTai is really popular now...

It was completely red, and at that very moment, the hand being pinched was getting increasingly painful, and it was trembling.

Li Fan didn't care at all, after all, it was you who took the initiative to cause trouble.

If I weren't much stronger than him, I would have been the one who suffered this loss.

His hand was really hurt, so what's the point of punishing him further?

However, it actually feels pretty good to be the victim and then have your hand squeezed by someone who's in a bad state.

Although the authorities have said there will be severe penalties, the atmosphere back in the backstage dressing room was still somewhat tense.

Everyone quickly packed up their peripherals and personal belongings. Abu and Quickstar communicated with league officials the whole way, their faces serious.

Being stateless is absolutely despicable!

You have to scold them and then use eye drops.

The interview segment was cancelled.

Once he boarded the bus back to the club and closed the door, temporarily shutting out the noise from the outside world, Abu immediately turned to Li Fan, who was sitting by the window.

"Li Fan, is your hand really okay? Don't push yourself too hard. It's not too late to turn around and go to the hospital for an X-ray!" Abu's tone was full of worry, and his brows were furrowed.

After all, a professional player's hands are extremely important; even the slightest problem can affect their performance.

All eyes on Li Fan were focused on him, filled with concern. They all clearly remembered Li Fan's pained expression and gasps at the time, except for Scout, who was now gloating.

"Sister Bu, do you think... I'm the kind of person who would suffer a loss?" Li Fan's voice was slightly playful.

"Huh?" Abu was taken aback by this Sister Bu.

The factory manager next to him glanced at him and then burst out laughing.

"You're full of bad intentions!"

"What do you mean by 'full of bad intentions'? Since he dared to pinch me hard first, he should be prepared to be pinched back twice as hard. That pinch hurt quite a bit, but when I hit him back... ha, I reckon his right hand won't recover for at least half an hour."

The others realized what Li Fan meant after hearing his explanation.

"Huh??!!" Tianye's eyes widened in disbelief. "You mean... you were faking it just now? You actually crushed it?"

"Otherwise what?" Li Fan smiled. "He struck first, I was just acting in self-defense."

Meanwhile, the hashtag #UncontrolledHandshakeViolence# suddenly appeared at the top of Weibo's trending topics list at an astonishing speed, followed by a bright red "Explosive" label.

The handshake segment was being widely circulated on major esports forums, online communities, social media, and gaming groups, with GIFs and high-definition videos circulating online.

Wu Zhou's arm muscles were visibly tense from exerting force, his face changed color instantly, and Li Fan subconsciously pulled his hand away in "pain."

The comment section was completely overrun, a veritable massacre of the forum:

[Losing both his reputation and his performance! Cool (Wu-Zhuangtai) should be kicked out of the LPL!]

[A disgrace to esports! They resort to dirty tricks when they can't win in matches, is that it?]

[My heart aches for Unreal. He's only 17 and has to go through something so disgusting. Is his hand okay?]

[@League of Legends Official Team, this must be dealt with seriously! Suspend him! This kind of person doesn't deserve to be a professional player!]

I used to think he was just bad at the game, but I never imagined he was such a terrible person!

Public opinion was overwhelmingly against Li Fan, with almost everyone condemning the lack of a state of affairs and expressing concern about his condition.

The comment section of EDG Club's official Weibo account was also flooded with fans' concern, who inquired about Li Fan's hand injury.

Although their feelings towards this young player who changed the team's situation are complicated, he is not someone you can bully at will.

Fortunately, a new post on EDG's official Weibo account reassured them a lot.

"Thank you for your concern. Our mid-laner Unreal has undergone an initial examination after the match. His wrist is fine for now, but we will continue to monitor him."

We are shocked and saddened by the extremely unpleasant incident that occurred after today's match.

We firmly uphold the spirit of fair competition and the legitimate rights and interests of our players. We have already had serious discussions with the league officials regarding this matter, and we believe the league will provide a fair resolution. Thank you again for your support.

As for NB team's official Weibo account, it was completely flooded with criticism...

The main reason is that many passersby also joined in. If we don't make an example of them, what if a similar situation occurs in later matches?
A handshake is something that happens after every game!

Half past eight in the evening.

Although Li Fan's live stream was black, the chat was already flooded with comments, and the number of online viewers even approached 60,000 at one point.

[How is Unreal's hand? Judging from the video, it looks like he hit someone very hard.]

[I'm speechless. How can there be such dirty people in the professional gaming world? Losing is one thing, but what's the point of trying to ruin someone's career offline?]

[Have you done any stateless SM yet?]

When will the official results of this investigation be released? A six-month ban seems unreasonable.

[It's heartbreaking. She's only 17, and she's already exposed to such a dark world.]

[Racing game players come to offer their condolences! Who dares to lay a hand on our racing god!]

[How heartwarming! The factory manager rushed over immediately, and so many teammates and coaches came to help. In contrast, the narrow-minded Cool, despite having so many teammates, had no one willing to help him.]

[You can tell from the details. Wasn't Uzi also bullied before? It took him two years to recover.]

[Anyone without a clear mind should just get out!]

Because of this incident, QQ Speed ​​players and League of Legends players, who were originally at odds, have become much more harmonious, and are now pointing the finger at WuZhuangtai.

By 9 p.m., the number of viewers in the live stream was still over 40,000.

Yu Luo was furious as she stared at the black screen in her dorm room.

With so many memorable moments today, if Unreal were to come back and stream, his popularity would definitely explode, and then he could edit a video that would surely go viral.

"Damn it, WuZhuangDang!" Yu Luo cursed under his breath, then immediately went to find materials.

I've already thought of the title for the video I'm going to edit.

A detailed account of the seven deadly sins of statelessness!

"The first sin is arrogance... solo killing Faker at the S3 World Championship..."

After he finished editing the video and watched it carefully, he was very satisfied and immediately uploaded it to Bilibili.

After uploading, I couldn't help but sigh when I saw that Unreal's live stream was still not running.

The uploaded video went viral on Bilibili within half an hour.

The official announcement and NB Club's penalty statement were released almost simultaneously at 8 a.m. the next day, instantly igniting the already raging public opinion storm.

The hashtags #NoFormSuspendedForSixMonths# and #NBPunishingNoForm# have once again become trending topics.

The official announcement from the League of Legends Pro League used strong language, clearly stating that Cool's behavior during the post-match handshake session seriously violated the spirit of sportsmanship and had a negative impact on the image of the event and the rights of the players.

According to relevant regulations, the player was suspended for six months and fined RMB 50,000. NB Club was also fined RMB 100,000 and required to strengthen player management.

In addition to acknowledging the punishment and apologizing, NB Club's announcement also included an additional penalty of a severe internal warning for Wu-Zhuang, and the deduction of all salary and bonuses for the remaining months of the season.

This is almost the heaviest economic penalty that the club can impose at this stage.

[This is truly gratifying!]

[The authorities have finally done something right.]

[NB is really unlucky; they bought this thing and lost both their reputation and their money.]

[It's a relief that Unreal's hand is unharmed; hopefully, it won't leave any psychological scars.]

Netizens and fans generally approved of the punishment, believing it to be a warning to future generations.

WuZhuangtai's personal social media accounts have been completely overrun, with his latest Weibo post receiving hundreds of thousands of comments...

However, Li Fan's fans are still very anxious, mainly because Li Fan has not started broadcasting yet!
It's been more than ten hours since last night.

Compared to previous model workers, this person has clearly suffered psychological harm...

He couldn't help but start cursing Wu Tai again.

Even now, there are still over 40,000 people watching the live stream...

Even Huya's official representatives were taken aback.

Li Fan's influence is terrifyingly high.

In just two or three months, he became such a top streamer.

until 2 p.m.

The live stream lit up, and Li Fan's smiling face appeared in the center of the screen.

[Holy crap! They're streaming!]

The moment the broadcast started, its popularity soared, with the barrage of comments so dense that the screen was almost invisible.
