Before the match between YQCB and RP, Tong Yao checked Weibo and discovered that a repost from Facebook had gone viral on the internet. It was originally posted roughly 10 minutes after Team CK had left the hotel by a RP substitute player: Saw the team from LPL left, made my day. Soon another team from LPL will be following in their footsteps. This region only knows to pick up what we don’t want, how could there be any improvement.

Five minutes after the post, the substitute player was bombarded by netizens from both China and Korea. LPL’s fans certainly would come out to defend their own teams. As for Korean fans, they were upset with the post because Li Junhe was a member of YQCB. Li Junhe had a large fan base back in Korea. They severely criticized the substitute “In any case Li Junhe is your senpai, where’s your respect” “Even though he’s gone to the LPL, he’s still Li Junhe. How dare you” “Who are you saying is the one we don’t want” “Have you played any competitions yet, don’t bark here”

Certainly there were many Korean fans who thought the post was quite interesting. Even some Chinese netizens agreed with the post. “You’re right, LPL sure is trash” “Can’t argue with you”....Yet, soon afterwards, the substitute deleted the post under tremendous pressure.

However, it was too late. Many of the ugly words had already gone viral.

Tong Yao was delighted that she had caught up with the fuss before the match: “The Koreans have created some fuss for themselves right before the match.”

Lu Sicheng leaned over to look at her cell phone: “How did it end up?”

“It’s gone viral.”

Tong Yao shook her head while giggling, but couldn’t help but curse the substitute player in her mind. It was someone she had never paid any attention to before.

As the time for the match drew near, the fans back in China temporarily put this unpleasant incident behind them. They had learned to find pleasure in disappointment-- --

I heard CK’s already back? Looks like their manager had posted their location in the airport on Weibo…… Why are they in such a hurry? They should stay for a few more days. They can even be daigou[1] and earn some money to pay for the airline tickets.

What the above post said is so true. If they waited for a few more hours, they could come back together with YQCB and keep each other company.

Then why not wait for one more day and they can come back with ZGDX as well. Three teams could charter an airplane to fly back, wouldn’t it be nice… Ah, hahahahahahaha!

“Why do these people like to talk so cynically! If we really lost the match, wouldn’t they be as depressed as us…”

Tong Yao was sitting in the audience with Jinyang on her left and Lu Sicheng on her right. She put away her cell phone and looked around her. Since the two teams of today’s match weren’t from the LCS region, the fans present in the audience were basically half for the Chinese team and the other half for the Korean. YQCB had the support of the Chinese students studying abroad while RP also had many Chinese fans since most of their players had played in China before. Teams from the Korean region always had fans from other countries because of the strength of their teams.

When the RP players came on stage, the cheering from the audience was quite loud. The players walked up briskly while chatting and laughing, relaxed.

The players of YQCB, on the contrary, looked quite serious. When Ai Jia stepped onto the stage, he tripped over his own shoelace and almost fell onto Pope. Jinyang lifted one of her hands to cover her eyes, but her other hand clasped onto Tong Yao’s hand tightly.
