Chapter 806: Not Angry

In the hotel, the VG crew watched the post-match interview, laughing so hard they huddled together.

"This host is really good at stirring things up, hahaha……"

"This generation of audience really has talent!"

"If I may say, our Jiao Shen is truly a talent in interviews, two sentences directly made the opposition flush red, in terms of show effect even Ma Ge has to step aside!"

"?"

Sima Laozei looked at Fu Lan Duo, bewilderedly saying, "I always speak truthfully in interviews, what show effect?"

Everybody laughed again.

……

The match hadn't ended yet, but various marketing accounts had already caught wind and sprang into action.

Liang Yan's several clips of killing Uzi began to spread online, some made video clips, some made GIFs and posted, the titles getting scarier and scarier:

【Shock! World's No. 1 Jungler switched to AD, massacred Uzi!】

【One vs four, massacred pro players, the World's No. 1 ADC in front of him looked like a bot!】

【That guy made a move again, god-level operation shocked the heavens!】

You can't say, this wave spread fast really can reap traffic. Liang Yan's popularity plus today's entertainment match effect truly exploded, the whole Chinese net was in an uproar.

On Weibo, the hot search list was almost dominated by terms related to the star exhibition match:

#Jiao Shen is too supermodel#

#Surpass Team shocking huge comeback#

#Star exhibition match Jiao Shen one vs four#

#55 opening actor#

#Jiao Shen switched to AD massacred Uzi#

#Hexagon player#

Etc etc……

Then fans tore into each other, some praising, some criticizing, and some specially wrote long essays analyzing whether the 55 opening was scripted.

On a certain Q&A platform, a new question was topped to the hot list first: 【How to evaluate Surpass Team's comeback in a teamfight after being four thousand gold behind in the dragon fight?】

The top-voted answer consisted of just one sentence plus a screenshot, the screenshot being exactly the moment Liang Yan finally killed Thresh in his Xia Lu triple kill, the caption just five characters:

【Jiao Shen is too supermodel!】

When the livestream interview ended, this answer's likes had already exceeded ten thousand and were still surging.

If nothing unexpected, the phrase "too supermodel" first shouted by Wang Ji from the commentator's desk will become the hottest meme recently.

Various streamers couldn't sit still, all wanting to ride this wave of traffic, they all started boasting in their own streams.

A streamer with a big bald head dug out the footage, frame by frame savoring, his language and expression extremely exaggerated:

"I really don't want to boast, but there are already too many people boasting about Jiao Shen.

"But how to say, folks, this person is really too damn outrageous.

"For example, this wave of face-checking the brush vision to get free auto-attacks on Uzi twice, md I don't know why a jungler would understand AD duel details so much!

"Face-checking brush vision isn't hard, junglers naturally have similar tricks, but the problem is the opponent is Uzi, brothers! tmd the opponent is Uzi!

"Although Uzi has no world championship, his personal skill can't be denied, many pro players have admitted Uzi is the World's No. 1 ADC, it's always only him doing the operating on others, but today tmd got shredded by a jungler playing a poke master!

"I have to say, in this Xia Lu lane, if you swapped in any pro AD, ten minutes without getting killed seven or eight times by Uzi, I'd take your surname!"

"But how does Jiao Shen play? Brothers, look at this walk‑A, look at this pulling, look at this distance control, this damage calculation!"

"Too exaggerated, really too exaggerated!"

When Western time evening arrived, the Ou Mei LoL circle also became active.

Liang Yan's former teammates in their own streams were flooded by fans, Perkz of course knew Liang Yan had a star exhibition match at the LPL-hosted League of Legends six‑year anniversary celebration, originally not very interested in such entertainment matches, but when he went live, the barrage was almost all about this, so he couldn't help pulling up the match replay.

If you don't look you don't know, but one look and you're startled.

"what the f***k!"

"What the hell is this? (Looks like AP's Chinese lessons haven't lapsed, they can even do inverted sentences)"

"I don't know! When did his AD become so strong?"

"Thanks a lot! He wouldn't really want to switch to AD, would he?"

"No no no, I think it's unlikely…… but brothers, his level as an ice archer, I think he could make world top three… no, he's laning against Uzi's female cop… then I'd say he could be called world's No. 1."

"Oh, poor Uzi, completely turned into a background panel."

"I tell you, you guys have no idea how strong he is, really, only by being his teammate do you know, that feeling of being carried is simply exhilarating to the point of not being able to breathe……"

Ka Lao Si also posted a line on Twitter:

【I've long said: He'sthemostgiftedproofalltime】

Due to the coming period the whole world entering S7 preparation stage, with no other matches, thus the star exhibition match's heat lasted a long time, and whether Liang Yan could switch to AD next season, or even use it as a big move in the S7 World Championship, similar topics were discussed with relish by Chinese and foreign netizens for a considerable period.

To commemorate Liang Yan's astonishing performance in this star exhibition match, netizens also changed one of his nicknames from "Hexagon Jungler" to "Hexagon Player".

And Uzi went from "World's No. 1 ADC" to "World's No. 1 Shockwave"…… Of course, people had already called him that, but this star match let the nickname fully go viral.

These are later stories.

……

The three‑day anniversary celebration finally ended.

After the dispersal, LPL chief commander Jinyibo summoned the three expedition teams, and everyone happily had a meal together.

But Uzi didn't participate, saying his stomach felt unwell.

Liang Yan thought Uzi wasn't feeling stomach‑unwell, but face‑unwell.

He had Uzi's WeChat, and directly sent him a message.

……

Hotel.

Uzi locked himself in the room, sulking alone.

He wasn't unable to accept losing, nor even unable to accept that the great tailwind had been overturned; the things Liang Yan said in the post-match interview really embarrassed him, and he was indeed angry at the time, but it faded after the event.

What really upset Uzi was actually the overwhelming public opinion.

He was purely being broken down by netizens.

He also knew that not attending the victory banquet would only make him look even more looked down upon, but he felt too embarrassed to face Liang Yan.

With a ding, the phone notification pulled Uzi out of his daze.

He picked it up and saw:

【You're not angry, are you? How come you didn't even attend the victory banquet?】

……

You damn old man!!!

Who does a finishing blow like you!!!

Uzi was speechless for a long time; the more he thought, the angrier he got, and finally he exploded again.

With a slap, the newly bought fruit 7 was thrown to the ground, instantly splitting into pieces.

……

……

I originally thought BLG might be learning from SKT.

But after looking more closely, it was purely just dragging.
