Chapter 1276: End Game (16)
One side felt that country H was indeed leading the eSports’ industry internationally and, given that King had been their top player, his arrogance was understandable.
The other side felt that King was too proud. Those remarks could simply not be taken for real.
The two sides started to argue.
[r.e.t.a.r.d! If he looks down on us Chinese, then he shouldn’t have come here. What does he mean by doing this?]
[@userabove, you’re the r.e.t.a.r.d! King is only a foreign player. Besides, he’s not wrong. Just look at PC Team, they’ve always been invincible but now they’ve been crushed. Compared to SX Team they are pathetic, aren’t they?!
[I feel that everyone should think about what King of country H said. There is some truth in it. Look at how badly PC was beaten. Don’t you think that the Chinese eSports industry should reflect on this?]
[That’s c.r.a.p. Our country has also won in international champions.h.i.+ps.]
[King is a fool, no comments.]
…
Sitting in her hotel room and reading all of these comments on the internet, Qiao Lian was so angry that her chest hurt.
Suddenly, she saw someone had posted a link, along with a message that King was doing a livestream.
Hence she clicked on it.
Indeed, King was in the livestream and he was explaining to the audience, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I’m not good with Chinese and I really didn’t think that what I said had other meanings. I only thought to answer the questions asked by the host and that was it. If I’ve caused anyone to misunderstand, I apologize.”
Immediately, a barrage of comments appeared on the comment screen:
[Wow, you’re forgiven.]
[It’s OK, King, we know you didn’t mean it like that, you love us.]
[Leave. Why should people like you stay in China?]
Qiao Lian stared at everything that was going on in the livestream and drew in a deep breath, greatly angered. She threw her cell phone onto the coffee table and said, “This King, he shouldn’t be gaming, he should just be an actor. He put on such a great performance! We Chinese are too kind, letting him trick us like that.”
Shen Liangchuan was working on his computer. He paused when he heard her remark.
He looked up and glanced at her. Then he walked over and took the cell phone away from her. “Since the news is making you angry, then stop looking at it. Working yourself into a rage is bad during pregnancy.”
Qiao Lian glared at Shen Liangchuan and said, “Aren’t you angry? This King is so arrogant! He has no regard for us!”
Qiao Lian was livid and continued, “He hasn’t met our team. If he did…”
“What if he did?”
Shen Liangchuan’s question stumped her.
Indeed, what would happen if he met their team?
People who took part in professional compet.i.tions were mostly highly-skilled players. At least, there wouldn’t be any big issues in their maneuvering. And in SX Team now, there was a written rule that required all the players to obey King’s instructions during a match. It demanded complete compliance. As a result, the five players behaved like they were one player, so how could they not play well?
When CQ Team was formed, all the players they brought in were highly-skilled and expecting the same sort of compliance from them would be almost impossible.
Hence if CQ were to meet SX in a match, they would probably not win.
Qiao Lian frowned.
The fact was that she was anxious because she knew they wouldn’t be able to defeat SX.
