Chapter 1302: End Game (42)
Shen Liangchuan was a nationally-renowned Best Actor with tens of millions of Weibo fans. Of course King would have known this.
The stake that Shen Liangchuan had placed was enormous.
Because even the best player couldn’t guarantee he would sail through a game without being slayed once.
Besides, he was the adc player, it was almost impossible to avoid getting killed.
This not only tested his self confidence, it tested the level of his trust in his teammates.
Especially the support role.
In the segment they had just played, The Deputy G.o.dfather had made a huge accomplishment. He had sacrificed his life for Shen Liangchuan four times, no less.
He had to have complete trust in The Deputy G.o.dfather to pull off such a feat.
Qiao Lian took in a deep breath as she observed her man, who was now stretching his lower back languidly.
His shoulders were broad, more than broad enough to hold up her world.
No, they were more than broad enough to carry their team through everything.
She bit her lip, overwhelmed by her deepening fascination with this man, who she had been observing throughout the compet.i.tion.

Thus ended the second match. None of the players from either side went to the restroom during this break, giving the reporters an opportunity to start interviewing King.
A reporter shot some questions, “King, what are your thoughts on this last segment? Why did your team lose? Do you still feel that the standard of eSports in China falls behind country H?”
Upon hearing these questions, King smiled and answered through his interpreter, “Well, what happened was because Shen laid a bet with me. He said that if he died even once during the game, he would admit on Weibo that he’s inferior to me. This tempted me to make the wrong decision of focusing on the bottom lane throughout the game. That was rather silly.”
King had a helpless expression on his face. He continued, “I know that some teams like to employ the clock tactic, but I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. After all I’m in the prime of youth, and I do get provoked by certain words.”
“Uh huh, but I have to admit that this was a very strong move by Shen.”
“I’m not sure how to compare China and country H, because this wouldn’t have happened in country H… This segment was not exceptional in any way, it was just me losing my senses. So you know.”
“But I’m going to make a serious effort in the final match.
After saying all of this, he turned to the camera and put on an extremely cute expression.
This expression was projected onto the big screen at the venue and seen by all the audience.
At once, a silence fell right across the venue.
But the reporters caught onto his implicit message. “Are you saying that Best Actor Shen tricked you?”
The man shrugged and said, “There’s an old Chinese saying that says nothing in war is too deceitful. So even though I lost this segment, I have to admit that I didn’t have the right att.i.tude.”
He would only admit that he had had the wrong att.i.tude, but would not admit that his skills hadn’t been up to par.
The CQ team members were infuriated at once when they heard this.
Su Penghao said straightaway, “Freaking h.e.l.l! The unmatched shamelessness of the man! Is he saying we won by cheating? Why doesn’t he look at all the underhanded means he’s used so far? Prince’s support player Bamboo has now been taken out of the tournament. I heard recently that he’s even been seeing a psychologist. He almost committed suicide. King thinks that no one knows what he has done!”
