A group of players were making trouble together. The Chinese League inevitably needed to take an interest in the matter. Zhou Huo had been prepared for it for a long ti. He narrated in full the causes and consequences of the entire matter.
In passing, he helped the other teams explain. One, the players did not violate discipline and two, none of them broke any rules. Pushing back against the sprayers on a public platform was sothing the individual players decided on. Moreover, they were forced to fight back.
In itself, they hadnt violated any of the regulations of the league.
However, the league officials still issued official notices to Free, Saint, and the Yi Zhan clubs, asking the clubs to regulate their players behavior, prohibiting the clubs from influencing others, and admonishing them.
They asked that the club managent cooperate with the league to maintain the positive image of the players as much as possible.
When all was said and done, the players hadnt violated any rules, and the officials couldnt impose any punishnts. The only thing they could do was to give these useless warnings.
It was probably because he had been spending too much ti with Yu Sui, this group of wicked people, that Zhou Huo, when replying to the league official, lost his temper and no longer answered them in his usual sly manner but instead did so frostily.
In summary, they will comply with what needed to be complied with but insults that they shouldnt accept, they still wont accept.
After pressing the send button and dealing with the league officials, Zhou Huo felt refreshed. He felt so young, so amazing. If he dyed his hair while he could be like Shi Luo and be an invincible sprayer.
After having a small eting with several base-side staff mbers, Zhou Huo relaxed and let everyone go and rest. He checked the ti and it was already past one oclock in the morning.
Zhou Huo ca out of the first floor conference room. He walked around the first floor but saw no one. He only ran into Old Qiao who was coming downstairs and waiting to for the takeaway delivery. Zhou Huo asked, Where are the others?
Asleep?
I dont know, I just washed my clothes. Old Qiao rolled up his cuffs, Its kinda embarrassing to have Auntie wash my pajamas and underwear. Theyve been piled up for a week, and I just finished washing them. Whats the matter?
Whats the matter? Im so happy. Zhou Huo straightened his neckline and smiled, Its so cool, I feel like Im several years younger. Do you think theyre sleeping or playing? Im gonna report on the conclusion of this matter then Im going to head to bed afterwards.
I dont know, they were still in the training room before I went to do laundry. Chen Huo and Puppy were on their computers. I dont know what they were doing. Yu Sui and Evil were on the sofa. ntioning this, Old Qiao frowned, Why does it feel like...
...Yu Sui and Shi Luo are always together nowadays? How did those two get closer than anyone else after they reconciled?
A secret smile flashed in Zhou Huos eyes, They have a good relationship. Shi Luo has that kind of temper. When he hated Yu Sui, he could almost trade punches. But when theyre good, theyre almost attached at the hip.
Sigh... This is youth.
Whatever. Old Qiao shook his head indifferently. When I was in FS, he only stuck with Yu Sui too.
The doorbell rang. The delivery had arrived and Old Qiao hurried to open the door. Zhou Huo went upstairs to find everyone.
Having dealt with everything that should be dealt with, Zhou Huo wanted to tell the players that this matter was officially over. But when Zhou Huo went to the second floor, he still couldnt hear any voices. There was no sound outside their dorm room.
When Zhou Huo opened the door to the training room, he saw that all four of them, without exception, were all in their seats.
No one was doing a live broadcasts, no one was playing anything else, they were all doing their own training as usual.
Originally, Zhou Huo had been carried away by these players. He felt very good and he even felt like he was back in his rebellious period. But seeing them like this, he was suddenly rooted on the spot. For a while, his throat felt a little tight.
Just two hours ago, the fans on the forums were still ridiculing these people, saying that the whored with Internet celebrities, slept with fans, took their pay without putting in the effort and that they were party animals, the next one worse than that last.
Many of the normal players had no idea about the actual situation but they still believed it. They felt that these players with an average age of just over 20, could easily get millions in annual salary just because they just had a little bit more talent than others.
They could make money by just playing gas. Didnt they have it so easy?
Shi Luo and the others were all used to being sprayed, and they are also used to spraying back. They had no problem fighting back against those moronic sprayers. When it cos to having a poisonous tongue, they wouldnt lose out to anyone. But not a one of these players would ever sell misery.
None of the players ever tried to defend themselves and explain that it wasnt easy to get this millions worth of salary.
They had to give up on their studies and they left no way out for themselves.
They sacrificed their youth, their health, ti they could be spending with their family. They sacrificed the best years of their life for dating and finding love.
They received all sorts of problems from the outside world, they experienced monuntal pressure in matches and competition within the circle was fierce.
They have to endure a lot of hardship, have to work hard, and they want to win more than anyone.
If they didnt have such a strong desire to win who could possibly, after being splashed with dirty sewage and still being unable to completely wash clean of it, temporarily suppress the anger in the hearts, to make use of and not waste even these scant two hours to train.
In any case, ordinary people like Zhou Huo couldnt do it. He wasnt really in it. At the mont, he was still angry. He wanted to fight with those sprayers for eight hundred more rounds.
But these players did it.
Theyve sprayed and theyve cursed. Theyve made the best use of their ti to adjust their emotions and seeing that there was still ti, went back to train for a while.
Even though the coach had already said that they could rest; even if it was only for an hour or two.
Standing outside the training room, Zhou Huos spirit that Shi Luo had fired up, cald down. For the first ti, he felt that the villains in his team had more professional ethics than anyone else.
In the end, Zhou Huo chose not to enter the room and disturb them just to say that the league officials have deed the matter closed. He took a few photos of everyone from outside the door.
The league officials had dealt with the matter well. Zhou Huos original intention was that after he had inford everyone, he would release on their official Weibo a post beating up all the sprayers as a wind up for this incident. But now, it seed that his priorities that been too small.
Zhou Huo logged into the Frees official Weiboo and released a post with an attached picture.
[We take things seriously
from f*cking over sprayers, to honing our skills to win.]
As soon as he posted on Weibo, there were instantly more than a thousand comnts. Fans who really liked Free were proud and elated. Fans who were initially worried that Free players would lose fans because theyd sprayed back no longer entertained imaginary and groundless fears.
These players that theyve liked for so many years would never disappoint. They could say the foulest most toxic words and still play the most serious gas. Those two concepts werent mutually exclusive and they didnt need sprayers pointing fingers.
This crisis gradually subsided after a few days. Although it was their bad luck to be splashed by this rank sewage that they couldnt completely wash off of, after this battle, Zhou Huos managent team has finally completely broken in with and gotten used to Frees players.
Zhou Huo was no longer so obsessed with managing the popularity of the team, and he no longer insisted on maintaining the perfect image of the players.
This ways good too. None of you are idols anyway. Youve got a bit of a bad attitude, so what? Were like this but the number of our fans is still crushing everyone elses.
At noon, Zhou Huo was holding a eting with them over breakfast. He said, relaxed, With us serving as an example, the other teams have also toughened up. I heard that the ROD has now fully adjusted his condition. He said it during the live broadcast yesterday.
Hes looking forward to playing with us in the playoffs. Hell be sure to wash away his disgrace.
Not bad, not bad. Puppy said lazily. Young n, you see, have to be sprayed a few tis in order to develop their ntal quality. This ti he was targeted by the sprayers, next ti he wont succumb to pressure so easily in matches. ...This ti we totally helped out NSN to train their troops.
They owe us one.
Just a reminder. ROD is the sa age as you, one year younger than Yu Sui, and one year older than Shi Luo. Old Qiao said as he sighed, Its us who are still so tragic. Of our four active starters, the oldest being only twenty-one, but already so numb to everything.
Chen Huo took a bite of the pickled cucumber and then sighed, What has this world done to us...
Dont talk with you mouth open. Shi Luo frowned, Dont drip acid everywhere. Youre disgusting.
Look. Cant a man feel sorry for himself without getting sprayed? Chen Huo touched his face, self-pityingly, Dont disgusting people also deserve to be doted on?
T/his chapter is updat/d by nv((l)biin.c/o/m
Yu Sui slowly took a sip of porridge, No, they dont.
Old Qiao is in charge of training. Your coach is a professional. The team that does the data analysis of the teams for you are also professionals. I cant interfere in these matters so I wont talk about them.
But in short, for very inexplicable reasons, weve beaten NSN, who we were expecting to be the second toughest team to play with in the regular season. Next is Saint. Theres not a lot of days left. Youve already been given this seasons data analysis on Saint.
Angel Sword is still the first milktank dic in the league. Their style of play is actually quite against us. Focus on what you need to focus on. Supplent what you need to supplent.
Im not going to talk much about things I dont understand. Zhou Huo took a notebook and wrote things down. You dont need to worry about team managent. Theres just one thing Id like to ask your opinions on.
Zhou Huo put down his notebook and looked at everyone, Sacred Sword.
I have no idea whats gotten into the f*cked up team but they keep targeting us and wont let go. All told, Ive already scolded them twice on on our official blog. Theres definitely bad blood between us now.
But then, from the very start, it was already impossible to live peacefully with them anyway. Zhou Huo asked everyone, I just wanted to ask you, as forr Sacred Sword players, if I try to turn the tables and try to crush their spirits instead. Is it possible?
Old Qiao glanced at Zhou Huo, surprised, Well, this is amazing. Have they infected you now?
Yeah, theyve infected
but Im also fed up with that sh*t team. Its fifty-fifty. Zhou Huo asked, In any case, I can understand their gas without an interpreter. I can also go over there and keep an eye on their forums. No team remains undefeated.
Would it be of any use if I taunt them a bit when they suffer a setback?
Yu Sui shook his head, Its useless.
Puppy followed up, Impossible. One is because of the cultural difference. They really are more open over there. The other reason is because their business philosophy is different.
If a players ntality collapses, he will be replaced imdiately. It wouldnt interfere with the team as a whole.
Its not weird that theyre targeting us. Chen Huo stared at Yu Sui as he chewed on the pickles. Yu Sui didnt renew his contract. This incident alone offended them already. Then Puppy and I both returned to China.
They probably considered this as Yu Suis doing as well. Their teams upper managent has a lot of grudges.
Zhou Huo frowned, Is it only their top managent whos disgusting? Their players are also disgusting. You do rember when they sent Angel Sword and Wawa cycling? Their players posted screenshots of them cycling our dics on Twitter.
What kind of sick joke is that?
I know about this. Shi Luo took a bite of so bread fritters. When we get to the World Championships and we run into them, we can challenge them to a match to delete their accounts.
Yu Suis eyes lit up faintly and he looked at Shi Luo and smiled.
Chen Huo though took in a sharp breath and looked Shi Luo up and down.Evil, were not going to be taking it that far.
Shi Luo yanked and wiped his mouth, Ill do it myself, you dont need to participate.
Zhou Huo looked bewildered. He turned to Old Qiao beside him, What is this account deletion match?
Its black talk. Old Qiao smiled, You can easily tell it ca out of so seedy internet cafe...
Old Qiao put down his spoon and explained to Zhou Huo, An account deletion match is sothing that was played by so players a long ti ago. If for various reasons, theres deep seated hatred in the ga between two players, the kind that cant ever be resolved.
One would invite the other to a life or death match. If you win, thats great. But if you lose, you have to delete your account.
Its not easy to maintain an account. Setting aside how much it costs to buy skins, many of the skins are already out of print. Now, you wont be able to buy it even if youve got the money. Theres also your accomplishnts during each season, recorded match by match.
Those are all solid dals. Old Qiao looked at Shi Luo, Not to ntion the value of a pro-players account. You wouldnt even be able to count how much money theyve spend on their accounts. They basically spend for their little wives with their eyes closed.
Very few players spend only a few thousands on their account. And if you dont want to consider this then what about the emotional attachnt?
Individual accounts keep track of every friend theyve added as well as every in-ga chat theyve had with their friends. The friends of a pro-player are basically pro-players as well, many of who have probably retired. In ga chat records are never deleted. Then arent all these mories?
Theres also the records of each ga.
When they retire in the future, theyd take a look and these will be all the mountains that theyve scaled. Old Qiao recalled those monts before he retired and sighed, A few months ago, when wed just established the team, the league officials were so willing to help Yu Sui, they would have given him anything he asked for.
But Yu Sui hadnt asked them for anything save to reinstate the accounts wed decommissioned before. Why do you think that is?
Zhou Huo froze in place. He looked at Shi Luo, and gave a hollow laugh, Then... Theres really no need to go that far.
It doesnt matter. I already wanted to challenge soone earlier, but at that mont... Shi Luo paused and didnt say anything further.
Zhou Huo didnt react and asked curiously, Who did you want to challenge?
Yu Suis eyes moved and turned to look at Shi Luo, .
Shi Luo looked around and said nothing, silently acquiescing.
Chen Huo laughed and slapped the table, I would have completely forgotten if you hadnt ntioned it. The very first dic in our division to have ever been cycled is our very own Luo Luo. Sigh, Im not trying to rile anyone up, really.
But Shi Luo, you really should have challenged Yu Sui before you changed jobs back then. I would have been happy to have either of your accounts deleted!
Yu Sui stared fixedly at Shi Luo. ...Why didnt you send the challenge?
Shi Luo glanced at Yu Sui. He was silent for a while and then said vaguely, Both of our accounts were new at that ti. It would have been aningless to delete them.
Yu Sui knew that this wasnt the answer which ant that it wasnt for the other people around the table to know. He didnt try to pursue the question. With proper business discussed and out of the way, everyone scattered. Shi Luo went to the terrace to smoke and Yu Sui followed.
