The IG team's lounge.
Jin Jingzhu looked away from the screen.
He pulled out a notebook that had been with him for years, not sure where he’d gotten it from, and pulled out a pen from his shirt pocket, scribbling on it.
Su Xiao Lo, the team manager, sat beside him.
Seeing him stop writing.
He asked, "Coach Jin, what are you writing in your notebook?"
Jin Jingzhu said, "I've been thinking about a few ways to deal with Jiang Chen, but none of them seem to work."
Su Xiao Lo furrowed his brows, "This substitute top laner is strange?"
"Strange?"
Coach Jin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"You're right about the word 'strange'."
He was always meticulous, recalling the details of Jiang Chen's solo kill on TheShy, he finally chuckled bitterly, "This RNG substitute top laner, to be precise, is a monster."
"Monster?"
"Yes!"
"TheShy's play before was fine, he really could kill Teemo."
"But Jiang Chen was one step ahead, he timed the delivery of the biscuit! This made TheShy miscalculate the damage, and that's not all, the most important thing is the mushroom he planted last."
"You can try it yourself, even in AI mode, where you can see the turret's attack range, it's hard to plant it exactly, let alone..."
IG head coach Jin Jingzhu didn’t continue.
But his meaning was clear.
"Is it really that terrifying?" Su Xiao Lo still couldn't believe it.
"Maybe... even more terrifying." Jin Jingzhu looked towards the player's seats.
Hiss!
Coach Jin remained silent for two seconds.
He slowly said, "Go check the recent Korean server rank records, see if you can find a player with a similar playstyle to Jiang Chen."
Su Xiao Lo watched Jin Jingzhu's serious expression and nodded silently.
...
The number of comments in Ruofeng's live stream decreased significantly.
As for those comments attacking Jiang Chen and praising TheShy, they miraculously disappeared.
No one was sending "Shy哥牛批!" anymore.
Even Ruofeng himself looked pale.
He didn't say a word.
His eyes were a little dull, he still couldn't believe that TheShy, who had dominated the Spring and Summer splits.
Had been solo killed by RNG's unknown substitute top laner.
This was still the TheShy who was godly in the first two games?
After a full minute, his eyes moved slightly, and he recovered.
He forced a smile, "It's okay, the game isn't over yet, and besides, IG already has match point, they have a huge advantage, in the World Championship, there has never been a case of a team coming back from a 2-0 deficit."
He didn't even mention his previous comments.
He's been doing a live stream upside-down headwash.
That was Dà Bízǐ who said it, what does it have to do with me, Ruofeng?
But Jiang Chen's performance was too captivating, he had also accumulated a lot of fans.
Here...
Some people sent comments like this.
"Captain Feng, when are you going to arrange the live stream upside-down headwash, it's the source of my joy."
Someone replied, "Brother, don't worry about it, Captain Feng is someone who keeps his word, how can he break his promise?"
"To put it another way, go and see what Captain Feng sells in his Taobao store, medical shampoo, it’s specially designed for hair loss, what did Captain Feng say before, if TheShy loses, he'll do a live stream of washing his hair for a month, he must have had the shampoo as a backup, that's why he dared to say that?"
"Yeah, yeah."
Ruofeng looked at these comments.
His head was starting to ache.
But his attitude was extremely tough, "What are the moderators doing? Ban all these people who are trying to cause trouble."
"He's panicking, he's panicking!"
"Yeah, he's panicking!"
More and more people joined in.
Even some 20+ level old fans started to question him.
Ruofeng's attitude finally softened, he quickly explained, "I'm not trying to back out, TheShy was really suppressed in this wave, but he still has a chance to come back."
"Yeah, everyone makes mistakes."
"TheShy is so strong, he'll definitely make a comeback."
"Let's laugh at the bronze players spraying at the king."
...
TheShy's fans in the live stream stood by Ruofeng and spoke for him.
But this was only a temporary solution.
If Ruofeng still wanted to make money in the esports circle, he would have to do a live stream of washing his hair.
After all, no one likes people who are inconsistent in their actions!
Some ‘thoughtful’ fans have already contacted Bilibili’s Shǒugōng Gěng, and are having a customized upside-down headwashing device made for Captain Feng.
Believe me, the day Captain Feng puts it on.
The heat of the live stream will definitely break through the roof.
It won’t be even slightly worse than the top streamers.
Douyu live streaming platform.
Official live stream...
After watching the replay.
Listening to Jìde's analysis word by word, many players realized that the competition between top laners was like this.
They all praised.
"Jiang Chen's move to use himself as bait was really bold."
"Yeah! If he had died in this wave... it would have been a disaster."
"He risked his entire career for this move."
"Mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live stream."
"Amazing!"
"Brothers, who still remembers what Captain Feng said before, if Jiang Chen beats TheShy, he'll do a live stream of washing his hair upside down, you can't miss this rare sight!"
The fans who follow Jiang Chen on Weibo started to set the pace.
