Chapter 322: Need to leave a good impression

After returning to Berlin, G2 officially began its winter vacation.

Everyone packed up, and after finishing lunch they went their separate ways again. After most people had left, Ka Lao Si announced in the team group chat that Liang Yan would be leaving the team.

At that time Liang Yan was still in the G2 Ji Di, packing his luggage.

Upon hearing the bad news, everyone finally reacted; Ka Lao Si's urgency to send everyone home was actually because of this, and he argued in the group chat for a long time. Perkz and the bot lane duo tried desperately to dissuade him, but to no avail. In anger, Perkz posted a tweet:

【@RiotGames, it's all your fault！！！】

Such an inexplicable sentence nevertheless caused a huge uproar.

Netizens commented:

【What happened？！】

【What happened？】

【Don't scare me, bro, what the hell is going on？！】

【It couldn't be that G2 is disbanding, right？】

【G2 couldn't possibly disband; I guess it might be…… I hope I guessed wrong．】

【Lu Ka is this agitated; there seems to be only one possibility．】

【What are you talking about? Can you stop speaking in riddles！】

【Firrrrrre is probably going to leave the team．】

In just half an hour, Perkz's tweet rose to the top of the trending list.

Fist also replied below：

【Is there anything I can help you with？】

Perkz gave Fist the middle finger.

The Xia Lu duo immediately followed up, retweeting Perkz's tweet and mentioning Fist with a raised middle finger emoji.

The matter blew up and quickly spread across the global internet.

A major earthquake occurred.

Global netizens had many differing opinions, but ultimately all speculation pointed to one conclusion.

European netizens, both panicked and angry, flocked to the comments under G2's official Twitter and Ka Lao Si's personal Twitter to question：

【Is Firrrrrre really leaving the team？ Tell us！】

【If you let Firrrrrre go, I'll kill you！】

【Who's poaching？ I'll take care of him！】

【It might be a money issue; only those NA rich bastards have more money than G2．】

【Is it TSM？ It must be TSM！】

TSM boss Big Gorilla was scared stiff, hurriedly came out to clarify：【TSM had indeed contacted the Firrrrrre player, but received no reply！】

Then European netizens speculated whether IMT, desperate for results, had gone crazy, and they directly flooded IMT's official Twitter; afterwards, IMT's official Twitter also issued a statement saying "I have no idea".

This wasn't it, that wasn't it either; European netizens, both anxious and angry, consequently erected a building in the comment section of Ka Lao Si's Twitter：

【Who！ exactly！ is！ it！】

Ka Lao Si chose to play dead.

Fist's bosses took turns calling Ka Lao Si, finally confirming the truth.

This was within their expectations, but the netizens' reaction still exceeded what they anticipated; the situation already showed signs of losing control, so they had to help divert the fire.

Thus, two hours after Perkz posted that tweet, Fist also dropped a heavyweight bomb, announcing on the company's global official website and official accounts：

Next year the Global Finals will be held in China; the matter has been decided, and the details will be announced at the upcoming "League of Legends 2017 Global Esports Competition Information Release Conference" to be held in Shanghai, China.

By this time it was already evening.

Liang Yan sat on the bed of the dormitory where he had lived for half a year, aimlessly scrolling on his phone; what made him feel slightly irritable was not the turmoil on the internet.

His luggage was already packed; there wasn't much, just a small suitcase.

Lao Zhang sat on the opposite bed, chattering away.

Ka Lao Si had looked for Lao Zhang the previous night, earnestly urging him to stay on the team, saying that whatever Lao Zhang wanted to do, they would give him a spot.

Lao Zhang understood why Ka Lao Si was trying to keep him; in fact he himself had a similar idea, so he hit it off with Ka Lao Si and ultimately agreed to stay on as an assistant coach.

Lao Zhang was just saying this at that moment.

Liang Yan heard it, but seemed not to have; he held his phone, thumb swiftly swiping the screen, revealing his absentmindedness and a sense of anxiety.

Lao Zhang, who knew him well, naturally could see that Liang Yan's mood was somewhat irritable.

This was not common.

But Lao Zhang pretended not to notice, not even asking "What's wrong?"

"It's about time."

Lao Zhang gave a reminder.

Hmm……

Liang Yan responded, glancing at the time.

Less than two hours remained until boarding; if he didn't leave now he would miss the flight.

Liang Yan took a gentle deep breath, slipped his phone into his pocket, and stood up：

"I'll go out for a bit."

……

Tang Anna sat at the table, gazing out the window as Berlin was gradually shrouded in night, already dazed for a long, long time.

Knock knock.

The door was knocked.

She knew who it was, but she didn't want to open the door, nor did she want to talk to anyone.

Knock knock.

The other party knocked twice more.

Tang Anna remained seated, unmoving.

After about two or three minutes, the knocking sounded again, and at the same time the person's voice came through the door:

"Anna."

Tang Anna didn't want to respond.

"Anna, I'm leaving, and I thought I should still say hello to you."

"Get lost!!!"

Tang Anna turned and shouted angrily.

She knew her personality wasn't likable, but that's just who she is.

……

Ka Lao Si, holding the car keys, left together with Liang Yan; as soon as they stepped out of the base gate, they saw an Eastern young man standing outside.

Wang Liangyi had been waiting there for a long time; seeing the two come out, his eyes lit up instantly, he turned and shouted at the car parked by the road, "Manager Gao!"

The VG alliance branch manager, Gao Jun, immediately opened the car door and got out. After Wang Liangyi finished shouting, he hurriedly trotted toward the two people standing at the door and went to help Liang Yan with her suitcase.

"Get out of the way!"

Ka Lao Si made a motion to kick.

Wang Liangyi was startled, jumped back a step, and froze on the spot.

Ka Lao Si snorted, picked up Liang Yan's suitcase, and walked toward his own car.

Gao Jun walked over, smiled at Liang Yan, stepped forward half a step, and shook hands with her:

"Hello, it's great to see you again!"

Liang Yan smiled, saw that Ka Lao Si had already put her luggage in the trunk, so she let go of his hand, walked over, opened the car door, and got in.

"This..."

Wang Liangyi looked strangely at this scene, then glanced at his own manager.

Gao Jun patted his shoulder, headed toward the taxi, and Wang Liangyi hurried to follow.

The two cars arrived at the airport, one in front of the other.

Ka Lao Si again helped carry the luggage down.

Liang Yan also got out of the car.

"This is where we'll part."

"Um…… that……"

Ka Lao Si wanted to say something but hesitated, then finally said:

"G2 will always keep a spot for you."

Liang Yan agreed, hugged Ka Lao Si briefly, then turned and walked toward the airport entrance.

The two VG members hurried to follow.

As they were about to go in, Wang Liangyi turned back, gave a grin to Ka Lao Si, who was standing there watching them, and waved his hand triumphantly:

"Hehe~ Bye-bye!"

Ka Lao Si felt a rush of blood to his head, but he clenched his fists and ultimately restrained the impulse to rush over and kick that kid.

When Liang Yan's figure completely disappeared, all that remained on Ka Lao Si's face was a deep sense of melancholy.

"I need to leave a good impression."

He muttered softly,

"Otherwise, nobody will come back later…"
