LOL: Do I have to be a spinning top too?

He didn't bend down; his 179cm height allowed him to look down at Wei, and he reached out to bump fists with her.

In less than 0.5 seconds, it was immediately withdrawn and left.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without any unnecessary pauses.

Wei's face went from rosy to ashen.

This merciless scene was captured in its entirety by the director's high-definition camera and simultaneously transmitted to the main live broadcast room and various secondary commentary live broadcast rooms on Huya Douyu, instantly igniting a barrage of comments!

Hahahaha!

Holy crap! What a tough newbie! A solid back!

[Your brother Wei is still pretending to be a good guy, all smiles and bowing his head, but he's completely ignoring you!]

Serves him right! He couldn't accept losing; there's no point in putting on airs with someone like that!

[Support! They got swept 3-0 by the Youth Storm. If you can't beat them, you report them? Why should they respect you?]

Of course, there is never only one voice in the bullet comments.

Formula reversal followed...

[Such disrespectful behavior towards seniors]

This is outrageous! This newbie has absolutely no manners!

[You think you can disregard your veteran teammates just because you won two games? That's a two-time MSI champion! What kind of champion are you, Li Hu?]

[They've only played a few Demacia Cup matches and they're already getting cocky? Their professionalism is questionable, and their character is questionable!]

[Winning the game but losing character, what kind of professional player is this with such a low character?]

This rookie will definitely be thoroughly analyzed after the Demacia Cup, and he'll learn his lesson after being repeatedly taught a lesson by veteran LPL top laners.

The battle spread from the live stream to major social media platforms such as Hupu, Tieba, Weibo, and Bilibili.

The number of related discussion posts surged at lightning speed, the popularity remained high, and the controversy intensified.

  

The two armies faced off, neither willing to yield.

The critics are calling him arrogant, while the supporters are praising his toughness...

Passersby were watching the drama unfold, gossips were stirring things up, and experts were analyzing the root of the conflict between Glory and Wei through micro-expressions.

The hashtag Glory refused to bow down to Wei after the match, and the hashtag Wei previously reported Glory for cheating, appeared one after the other at the tenth and eleventh spots on Weibo's trending topics.

no way.

In 2022, despite the constant online pronouncements that League of Legends was dying out and doomed, the League of Legends Pro League remained the world's number one esports event.

No matter what happens, it can easily top the trending searches and spark even larger-scale discussions.

On the stage at that moment, Li Hu was completely unaware of all this.

He and his four teammates stood in front of the stage, the lights shining on their faces, the five of them standing side by side, and bowed deeply to the audience.

A deafening roar erupted from the audience.

"TES! TES! TES!"

"Glory is awesome!"

"Win the championship! Win the championship!"

The cheers drowned out all other noises; the glory of the victor was irreplaceable.

After bowing, the five turned and left the stage in an orderly fashion, returning to the backstage contestants' lounge.

In the second live stream room of Tiger, Duck and Dog, the group tacitly ignored the clamor filling the screen, took the initiative to lead the discussion, and avoided the pull of public opinion.

"What do the brothers say?"

Do you think TES will win the championship?

AJ spoke first, his tone serious:

"It depends on who their opponent is."

"If it's EDG, I'm optimistic about TES."

"It's hard to say about TT."

Crystal immediately chimed in, his tone full of teasing:

"Are you out of character? What you said today is so unlike you!"

"Isn't your usual speech always so explosive?"

"TES has already beaten RNG, they're practically guaranteed the championship!"

"Forget the Demacia Cup, if TES just lets Glory start on the first team, I'm confident TES can win the Spring Split championship this year!"

Letme's expression was serious:

"That's a very high evaluation."

"But I like it."

"The LPL really needs a top laner like Glory who is daring, has top-notch skills, and a great mentality to carry the banner for the new generation of professional players in the region."

Li Hu pushed open the door to the lounge, where Guo Hao was already waiting.

The model worker manager strode up to Li Hu and gave him a big hug.

"Well played! You did an excellent job!"

Guo Hao patted his back hard, his voice excited.

In all his years in the esports industry, he has seen countless talented newcomers, but very few have given him hope like Li Hu.

As soon as he finished speaking, several familiar figures walked slowly towards the entrance of the lounge.

Yu Wenbo, Rookie, TheShy, and Xiaoyu arrived together.

Yu Wenbo walked up to Li Hu and said with a smile:

"Tiger, your three matches today have completely changed my impression of you."

"The first game featured a four-protect-one Vayne pentakill, the second game was a top lane Varus tutorial, and the third game saw Camille roam the entire map..."

"It showed me the infinite possibilities of a top laner."

Keep up the good work.

"Winning the final and taking home my first championship."

"After the Demacia Cup ends, our vacation will be over soon, and then the LPL will work together."

"We'll skip the celebration banquet; we have some things to do and need to leave now."

"I'll treat you to dinner again next time, and I mean it."

Li Hu nodded and took his hand.

"I understand, thank you, Jack."

See you in the LPL.

Yu Wenbo patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the lounge.

Rookie stepped forward and said something in his gentle tone in Chinese with a Korean accent.

"You played really well."

"Strive to win the championship in the final."

Xiaoyu stood next to Rookie, wearing a denim miniskirt, with a sweet smile, and gave Li Hu a thumbs up.

Good luck in the finals, Glory!

Li Hu nodded to her: "Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu."

The two left side by side.

TheShy was the last one to come over.

His gaze fell on Li Hu, filled with admiration, and his signature Korean-accented Chinese slowly began to play:

"Wow, Varus, awesome!"

"After that, practice some more."

When Li Hu saw TheShy take the initiative to invite him to spar, a hint of excitement flashed in Li Hu's eyes.

"Okay, Brother Sun."

"Anytime is fine."

TheShy nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

The door to the lounge closed.

Li Hu turned around, walked to the sofa, sat down next to Qing Tian, ​​and took the phone that the other person had been keeping for her.

Looking at him with admiration, Qingtian joked:

"You're pretty good, kid!"

"In today's three games, your hero pool, gameplay strategy, and understanding of team fights were absolutely unmatched. It's completely different from your usual ranked and solo play style!"

"Are you deliberately hiding your true abilities to tease me?"

Li Hu looked at his power bank and smiled.

"No, Brother Qingtian."

"Maybe I enjoyed the atmosphere of the competition, so I was more focused on the game."

Qingtian didn't press further, but smiled and reminded her:

"Stop pretending to be modest, look at your phone!"

"You're now a huge star!"

"He played six games, achieving a perfect 10.0 rating on Hupu in five of them—that's unprecedented!"

"And on Weibo, you went viral, trending on Weibo!"

When Li Hu unlocked his phone, the first thing that popped up was three WeChat friend request records.

The notes are: JackeLove, Rookie, TheShy.

Without hesitation, he approved everything with a single click.

Immediately after opening the Weibo interface, glaring data came into view.

In just a few hours, his Weibo followers skyrocketed from a few thousand before the match to over 100,000, an astonishing increase.

This number is still jumping at a visible rate.

He clicked on the trending topics list.

10th: Glory refused to bow down to Wei after the match.

Eleventh: Wei reported Glory for cheating.

The two entries are displayed side by side, and the number of discussions continues to rise.

Li Hu opened his private message list and was met with a barrage of polarized messages.

The number of people who criticize him and those who praise him is almost evenly split.

Part of it consists of malicious insults and sarcastic remarks left over from the previous cheating incident.

And those who criticize him for being arrogant, disrespectful to his seniors, getting cocky after reaching the semifinals of the Demacia Cup, and lacking experience in the harsh realities of life will eventually be taught a lesson by reality.

Of course, there were also countless encouraging messages from fans:

"Go Tiger! Ignore those trolls!"

"You played really well today! Go for the finals!"

"From today onwards, I'm your fan of ten years!"

He closed the private messaging interface without any expression.

Just then, Guo Hao walked over to him, gently patted his shoulder, and reassured him in a gentle tone:

"Relax, that's how it is in professional esports; there are highlights and controversies."

"These controversies are nothing. For the strong, all the controversies and slanders will become medals and capital on your road to coronation."

"As long as you keep winning games and achieving the corresponding results, everyone will shut up."

Li Hu looked up at him and nodded.

"I will, Brother Hao."

He had long seen through the true nature of public opinion in the e-sports circle: skill, results, and honors are the only true voices.

Guo Hao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"It'll be your interview in a bit."
