Chapter 100

The message was sent by Wang Liangyi.

That is, the VG team leader who originally told Liang Yan they'd meet at a coffee shop, then stood him up and didn't reply to his messages.

The other party sent a long little essay, presumably typed and copied in advance on a computer WX and sent over, with both text and images.

【Yan Brother, hello！】

【I am the VG team leader, Wang Liangyi; you can call me Xiao Liang (smile. emoj)】

【I don't know if I'm disturbing your rest, but there's something I've held in my heart for a long time; now I can finally speak, and I must explain it to you.】

【That's right, if I remember correctly, you initially sent our team a résumé, right? Then our manager quickly replied to the email, saying they were willing to meet you in person.】

【It's also because our manager was too lazy to type, didn't explain clearly; actually the meaning of meeting and chatting was to give you two options.】

【One option is to do a trial training; if you pass, you go straight onto our first team as a jungle substitute. Though it's called a substitute, you know it's somewhat meant as a successor, because the current one is three years old and needs a successor. We looked at your ranked match videos you sent as attachments and thought you really have that potential!】

【The other option is to go straight into our second team, i. e., to the youth training side; you all know that when you came over today, we have a youth training base.】

【That day the manager sent me to meet you; actually I was thinking, if your choice is to first join the youth training team, then I would just take you directly to the youth training base.】

【But unfortunately, my electric scooter had an accident on the way, which landed me in the hospital; then my phone also broke, so I couldn't send you a message, and when I later tried to contact you, I found I couldn't get the message through……】

【There are pictures as proof; this is really true, I'm not making up a story!】

【chat log. avi】

【You see these pictures; the top one is the phone I broke that day, inside probably still has water not dried. The second is me going to the hospital; the doctor said it was a comminuted fracture, that day I really couldn't move at all, and now it's not fully healed—you can see I walk with a limp. The last one is a screenshot of my chat with the manager at that time; I deliberately recorded a video because I was worried you'd suspect me of photoshopping.】

【With this evidence, Yan Brother, you should be able to see I'm not lying, right? So Yan Brother, believe me, that day I truly didn't mean to stand you up.】

【It's all because that son of a bitch who ruined the Death Pronouncement kicked the brake on my electric scooter, causing me to crash into the hospital; otherwise I definitely would have gone to see you that day.】

【The whole process is exactly like this; the responsibility is all ours, but this really is a misunderstanding! Yan Brother, you're magnanimous, don't stay angry.】

【I bow to you here!】

【Even the bowing has come……】

「Sigh——」

A misunderstanding?

Liang Yan let out a long sigh, not knowing what mood he was in at this point; anyway, it was pretty complicated.

All we can say is, VG doesn't have that fate.

……

Seven o'clock in the evening.

LPL home venue, Shanghai Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center.

After the previous match ended, a group of unusual spectators arrived at the venue.

They were precisely the G2 entourage.

After entering, several people found their seats and sat down quietly.

VG gave them consecutive tickets, so the group's seats were adjacent.

Putting aside other things, at the LPL match venue, a few Westerners gathered and sat together, which in itself was conspicuous enough; many spectators in the venue noticed their presence and cast astonished glances.

The venue director even noticed them the moment they entered.

It was simply that their jerseys were too conspicuous.

——Under Ka Lao Si's request, all G2 members who came to watch the match wore G2 jerseys, including team leader Biman; the group sat neatly in the middle of the spectator stands, standing out like a crane among chickens.

Many spectators in the venue had already raised their phones to take photos of them.

AP and Mithy, two conspicuous guys, sat next to each other, smugly flashing V signs at others, pleased as punch like two fools.

Liang Yan, from the moment he sat down, kept his head down playing with his phone, pretending not to know these people, but his black jersey undoubtedly revealed his identity again.

Moreover, this jersey differed from the one he usually wears for matches; the front of this outfit bears the player IDs, for example, the one Liang Yan is wearing has printed on the front:

【Jungle】

【Firrrrrre】

Large white letters on a black background, clearly visible even if the venue lighting is not very bright.

Around May-June, Liang Yan had become popular on the domestic internet for a while, and most of the spectators present had also seen that livestream clip of him kicking someone; but now he was lowering his head to play with his phone, and his hairstyle differed from then, so no one recognized him on the spot.

But the venue director would not miss such information; people in this line of work are highly sensitive to any information that can create a show effect.

On the LPL official livestream and the venue's big screen, the three commentators were chattering away, analyzing the match about to begin.

The veteran LPL commentator Wawa, sitting in the middle, suddenly paused, raised a hand to press the earpiece; after a moment, he lifted his head and faced the camera with a grin.

"Alright! The BP for our second match is about to start, but before that, we have a fun thing to share with everyone. Today at our match venue, a few somewhat special spectators have come. I believe some of the spectators present have already seen them. Come on, director, give us the camera!

The livestream and the venue's big screen suddenly switched, the camera aiming at the middle section of the audience seats.

"Exactly!

"They are precisely the team that came all the way from Europe, the champions of the EU region, G2!

"Today, they were invited by VG and specially came to our venue to watch the match; everyone, welcome them and let the guests feel the enthusiasm of our LPL!

The commentators' voices sounded simultaneously in the livestream and the venue.

The audience cooperated, erupting in a unified cheer with a splash, and clapping loudly.

Now even if they wanted to stay low-key, they couldn't; G2 Zhong Ren raised their hands to wave at the camera, and Liang Yan also had to lift his head.

The other commentator nicknamed the Haier Brothers, Miller, immediately exclaimed:

"Wow! Isn't that Jiao Shen?!

Su Xiao Yan, sitting to Wawa's left, also covered her mouth in surprise, widened her eyes, and said:

"It really is him, goodness, I just watched his match a few days ago."

Because they had no interest in the Europe Region, the two male teachers who never watched Europe Region matches live and only did some last‑minute studying when the World Championship approached immediately turned to look.

"Oh? It seems Teacher Su Xiao Yan knows quite a bit about the Europe Region; how so, could you give us a briefing?"

Su Xiao Yan gave an embarrassed smile:

"Not that I know it well, but I have indeed watched quite a few G2 matches…"
