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

Chapter 79 Are Haters Only Found Online? (Please Subscribe!)

Li Fan's announcement that he would participate in the upcoming SSC Spring Split quarterfinals offline tournament caused an uproar among EDG fans in the live stream.

One by one, they couldn't hold back anymore. Once their worries came out, they easily became anxious, and once they became anxious, they started typing and criticizing in the live stream chat!
【Huh? You're really going to go offline? You don't think you can get this cocky just because you won a couple of games, do you?】

【No, you can play online, but going offline to participate in competitions... If you don't want to be a professional League of Legends player, then don't be one.】

[Playing WE on the 8th, bro! The top spot in Group B, instead of training and preparing properly? Planning the QQ Speed ​​offline tournament here? Unbelievable! Got a few MVPs and acting like a madman.]

[I'm speechless. They really don't train at all? They don't even play ranked games? They just rely on pure talent in matches?]

[They've gotten arrogant! Absolutely arrogant! They've won two games and they think they're above everyone else!]

[How can you face your teammates? The team leader and the others are all practicing in ranked games, and you, on the other hand, are thinking about playing racing games?]

[Isn't the club doing anything about this? Are they just letting him run rampant like this? What is Abramovich doing?]

These comments, filled with anxiety and accusations, quickly flooded the screen, almost obscuring other content.

Li Fan looked at the comments, but his expression didn't change. He had already prepared himself for what he said.

I don't have many League of Legends fans myself, and I don't stream League of Legends. As for my performance in the matches, it attracts more club fans, and then Clearlove's fans in the live stream.

They have a lot of complaints about not being ranked.

He also mentioned that he would be participating in the upcoming QQ Speed ​​offline competition.

In their view, this could greatly affect their performance, and an outburst would be normal.

But soon, another group of viewers, mainly his personal fans, also started to exert their influence.

This group of fans includes fans of PUBG, CS:GO, CF, QQ Speed, and even Rise of Kingdoms, who haven't streamed in a long time.

The reason for standing up to refute this is very simple.

We absolutely cannot let these alliance fans take advantage of us!
If Unreal is not allowed to participate in QQ Speed ​​competitions this time, what will happen next time? They might even say they can't stream the game... What will they watch then?
[Are you guys in a panic? The clubs didn't even care when the players participated in QQ Speed ​​competitions, but you're more proactive in intervening than the clubs?]

[Seriously, the contract says I have to play League of Legends 24/7? Does Unreal's ability to juggle competitions and other games bother you?]

[Hilarious! The person in question hasn't even said anything, yet the fans are already complaining about how tired the contestant is?]

[I'm speechless. How can anyone choose to be a dog instead of a decent human being? Two days ago, when we were all united in our hatred, I thought you guys had become human, but it turns out you've reverted to being dogs.]

Good luck in the quarterfinals! Give those pro racing players a little League of Legends thrill!

[Didn't Unreal's live streaming success rely on QQ Speed?]

[Esports players are human too, can't they have personal hobbies? Mind your own business!]

The live stream room instantly turned into a battlefield between two camps, arguing fiercely. Originally, there were no sensitive words, but in the heat of the moment, they couldn't help but use them, and the insults were extremely vicious.

This sparked a second wave of online arguments between players of other games and League of Legends.

The speed at which the moderators ban people is almost outpacing the speed at which the posts are being flooded with messages.

Li Fan was used to the lively scene in the live stream. The two days of harmony were just an illusion. Wu Zhuangtai had been suppressed and had no common enemy, so it was normal for him to start cursing.

But they don't care at all; they won't stop arguing just because you tell them to.

However, there are still fewer visually appealing maps in QQ Speed ​​now.

Those water-themed paintings won't be available for another two years.

As for the "Mountain Snow Dragon" (山雪游龙), it will be released even later, around the time of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

To be honest, the way the "Snowy Dragon" character unleashes his ultimate move in the "Mountain Snow Dragon" image is incredibly cool.

However, Li Fan was still a little unfamiliar with the process, only knowing the various locations.

After all, it's not easy to get this image to work.

Many top professional players can't use it. For example, Jiang Zhangchuang once used the Mountain Snow Dragon in a car king competition. Even though he was far ahead of Zhang Yunbin, he couldn't use the ultimate move, and as a result, Zhang Yunbin used the ultimate move to easily overtake him.

As for the so-called "seeking stability," that's just a face-saving measure when you can't use your ultimate move.

After all, the difference between having a special move and not having one in this picture is too great.

If you use your ultimate skill without any mistakes, you can finish in 1 minute and 22 seconds. If you run normally, it will take about 1 minute and 30 seconds.

The difference is a full eight seconds, which is why a single ultimate move can take you from last place to first.

To become Hu Baibing's absolute king.

The guide to enjoying springtime is here again, featuring a powerful new technique.

This is something you just can't learn.

But this doesn't affect Li Fan's teaching...

Another game with a time of 1 minute 57.47 seconds, featuring two extremely beautiful ultimate moves.

This reduced the amount of online arguments in the live stream.

Li Fan smiled slightly and spoke earnestly to the camera.

"You don't play QQ Speed, so your perspective is still limited. You see me as a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky!"

"The day you officially step into the world of QQ Speed, you'll see me as a mayfly seeing the blue sky!"

After Li Fan said this, the live stream was silent for a moment, and then the barrage of comments was even more numerous than the previous argument.

【? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】

【Fuck! ! ! ! 】

"A frog in a well looking at the moon? A buoy seeing the blue sky? What kind of pretentious statements are these? Why have I never heard of them before?"

[Help... my toes are starting to dig into the ground, but why do I think this line is so cool?]

[I've got it! I'll use this next time I solo with my roommate!]

Unreal, my mentor in showing off! I learn so many pretentious things every time I go to his livestream.

Although what he said was a bit childish, considering his performance just now... I actually can't refute it?!

[Where are the League dogs? Come out and confront them! Let's see what kind of god you're bashing! Like I said, if League of Legends doesn't want you anymore, QQ Speed ​​will always be your home!]

That was a perfect performance, I give it full marks, and I'm not afraid you'll get arrogant.

However, Jiang Zhangchuang and Liang Haihui, who had just finished watching the live map run, looked at each other in dismay, both seeing immense shock and a hint of... bitterness in each other's eyes.

What Unreal just said in his live stream was absolutely right.

As a professional racing player, I know all too well how powerful it is to run this map at such high speeds.

Just as Li Fan said, it was like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

"Look at that map, those two laps he just did, look at the nitro sustain at that point, and the rhythm of adjusting the car's direction after exiting the corner to unleash the ultimate move... it's ridiculously smooth. This isn't a matter of whether he's practiced or not, it's that his understanding has reached its peak."

"Then let's practice! We can't just give up if he picks Spring in the offline competition, can we?"

"Besides... he might not be able to fight back!"

There was a four-person free-for-all during the quarterfinals.

The final match will be a one-on-one battle!
So there's still a lot of room for maneuver. Why not just target him and prevent him from advancing to the finals?
Your superior one-on-one skills will prevent you from ever having a chance to fight one-on-one.

Jiang Zhangchuang and Liang Haihui looked at each other again, and at the same time revealed a knowing smile.

Abu couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Li Fan's endless chatter.

She's actually quite talkative...

He's probably read a lot of novels; he's an ultimate bookworm.

This also reflects a change in Li Fan's emotions. If it were half a month ago, he would probably have been cursing in his heart, "What kind of person are you to be showing off like this?"
However, the controversy in the live stream didn't subside; instead, it escalated, eventually trending on Weibo. #UnrealConfirmedToParticipateInSSCSpringSeason#
Below is a huge discussion!
All I can say is that the insults were extremely fierce...

[I'm eagerly awaiting WE's crushing defeat of EDG the day after tomorrow. Xiye isn't kidding, you don't really think you've experienced the strength of the LPL just by beating two noobs, do you?]

[Damn, if Child Emperor used his streaming time for training, he'd probably be a world champion by now, right?]

[You're overthinking it. He's only 17. Even younger kids are only 11 or 12. How could they possibly win a championship?]

[Tch, you haters just can't stand to see others do well! If you're so capable, go and hurl insults offline, don't resort to these dirty tricks online.]

[What's the League of Legends section called here? Since you guys support Unreal Engine so much, why don't you go support it in person? Buy tickets and go see it! What are you calling it online?!]

Everyone discussing this is really looking forward to the match between EDG and WE.

If you lose, you'll be bombarded with criticism...

No, even if we take a step back and say he performs poorly in the match, we should still attack him relentlessly and teach him a lesson.

Let's see if they'll suddenly realize their mistake.

With their current roster, EDG seems to have a very promising future.

Because of the reinforcements made during the Summer Split, iboy is finally able to play in matches.

That's the complete lineup...

But now there's a problem: Unreal himself is a completely unpredictable factor.

The subsequent developments may be very troublesome.

This made other clubs very envious.

EDG's mid-laner is trending on social media every day. Whether he gets criticized or not, he's still popular, which shows that he has a lot of attention. And with popularity comes the attention of investors.

I heard that because of this, EDG has had a lot of sponsors contacting the club in the past few days.

This will generate a significant amount of money, and there will be no need to worry about the club's future operating expenses.
It was incredibly fun! Why doesn't their club have any players who can cause trouble like that?
I come here to boost my stats when playing against weaker teams.

He was livestreaming and doing silly things while at the base...

But they don't have any players like that at all.

People from Unreal Engine can participate in offline professional competitions for QQ Speed, and their performance in other games also demonstrates professional-level skills.

Just like what QQ Speed ​​players often say.

The League of Legends league doesn't welcome him, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with him going to the QQ Speed ​​league.

Furthermore, there are even fewer restrictions on live-streaming antics.

After all, QQ Speed ​​competitions are mostly individual-based, with virtually no club competitions.

You won't get flamed for playing CrossFire, PUBG, or CS.

From this perspective... it's much better than a League of Legends club.

Abu didn't stay behind Li Fan for too long, after all, as the club manager, he had a lot to do.

Now there's a problem with the top lane. Although the top lane is supposed to be about playing passively, it still falls short of the coach's standards.

He's currently busy looking for a suitable top laner.

……

With the black and white pieces eagerly anticipating the outcome, the three days passed very quickly.

On April 8th, the third round of LPL group matches finally began.

The schedule is very tight today because it's Sunday.

It was Sunday, after all, and the highly anticipated match between WE and EDG was scheduled for prime time at 7 PM.

The first two matches were QG vs GT and NB vs VG.

The final scoring phase was indeed quite intense.

After all, winning a match in the same group is equivalent to getting two points, so the competition was fierce and brutal.

This time, EDG didn't have to rush; they boarded the bus to the venue right after lunch.

Although the bus was driving smoothly on the viaduct, things were not peaceful inside.

No one closed their eyes to rest; instead, they were all watching the match between QG and GT.

QG现在的战绩是6-6，如果拿下比赛的胜利就会变成7-6……EDG此时战绩7-5，也就是说今天打WE要是输掉了的话，就会因为胜负关系掉到第三名去。

However, GT's strength is still quite different from QG's.

Even if they did offer a generous reward, a single brave warrior's tribute would not be enough.

Except for Season 5, when the top lane position could play a decisive role, it has become almost impossible to carry in the subsequent versions.

After all, Camille, who could carry the game, has been nerfed into oblivion.

In this situation, Doinb played perfectly and easily won the game 2-0.

The expressions on the faces of the other EDG players all turned rather unpleasant.

Because this is definitely not good news for them.

If we lose today's match, we'll still drop to third place.

"It's no big deal. Why should we care about other people's opinions when we want to win the championship? We've beaten WE in scrims before, so what's there to be afraid of?"

“That’s right, Li Fan is right! A professional player needs to have that kind of confidence.” The factory manager really liked Li Fan’s personality.

"Yeah, if you can be as confident as I am when you initiate a team fight, we can finish the game much faster."

Mingkai rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

……

The bus slowly drove into the underground parking garage of Zhengda Plaza, and the EDG team members inside could already see the crowd of fans gathered outside through the bus windows.

Most of them were League of Legends fans holding up EDG and WE team logos, waiting for their respective teams.

"We've arrived. Get ready," Abu said, standing up as usual.

As the bus came to a stop and the doors opened, the familiar cheers and shouts erupted as the team members, led by the factory director and Abu, disembarked one by one.

"EDG! Come on!"

"Factory Manager! Mingkai!"

However, amidst this wave of noise primarily focused on League of Legends, a group of people abruptly entered everyone's field of vision.

Not far from the entrance to the EDG team's passage, the light boards and banners they held were of different colors, and the content of their banners even surprised the well-informed Clearlove and Abu.

Someone was holding up the classic CS:GO logo with "Unreal Engine Buffalo King" written below.

Someone is holding up an elaborately crafted QQ Speed ​​icon, while next to them is the racing legend Unreal crushing his haters!

There were even a few burly men who unfurled a small CrossFire banner that read, "CF veterans support Unreal players."

The most outrageous thing was that in a corner of the crowd, a boy who looked a little shy was holding up a tablet with a screenshot of the game interface of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on it, along with a line of text: "Old servants of Romance of the Three Kingdoms welcome our lord to conquer the LPL!"

Yu Luo started shouting through a megaphone, holding up a sign that read "Unreal's Little Fanboy on Bilibili."

"The Unreal fan club has come to support Unreal in person! Where are the haters? Where are the haters? Come out and say something! You can't just shout online, can you?"
