Chapter 272: Public Opinion Frenzy, Korean Flair! Is it possible for Ye?
With the on-site matters concluded, the ravenous V5 team, under the invitation of the tournament organizer Riot's London management, headed to a famous local Chinese restaurant for a championship celebration dinner.
Usually, the local Riot officials did not have a custom of hosting championship teams; at most, they would send someone to see them off at the airport.
This time, it was mainly because the boss, Tryndamere, had come along with the V5 team, so naturally, they had to be hosted properly.
Come to think of it, they really were "basking in the reflected glory" of Ye Bo.
Previously, he had arranged a collaboration with Brother Sanhuan and other designers; after this MSI concluded, he would temporarily part ways with his teammates and head to Riot headquarters together with Tryndamere and the designers.
As a tournament sandwiched in the middle of the year, the off-season for MSI would not be very long.
Afterwards, they would immediately have to prepare for the Asian Games training camp during the Summer Split stage; the schedule would be very busy and tight, so naturally, there was no reason to let his teammates work during their vacation.
As for Ye Bo, he was naturally full of interest in being able to visit the birthplace of the game he loved.
Not to mention, going to playtest new heroes and record Akali videos was essentially just being treated as a vacation.
Ye Bo picked up a piece of "General Tso's Chicken" from the center of the table; it was said to be the most famous "Chinese dish" that must be ordered abroad.
Unfortunately, although it looked like sweet and sour pork, it tasted more like fried chicken drenched in sweet and sour sauce; it was simply cloyingly sweet.
Fortunately, it was at least much better than "Stargazer."
Since the food couldn't attract his attention, Ye Bo habitually opened his phone to surf the web.
Nearly two hours had passed since V5 won the championship, and public opinion had already thoroughly begun to ferment!
However, at this moment, Ye Bo first saw a screenshot posted by his mom in the "Loving Family" group chat.
The caption was: {So awesome, my son! You've become a big star again! }
Ye Bo looked at his mom's rather abstract choice of words and felt a bit bitter-sweet; he typed with one hand to reply in the group: {I beg you, Mom, let's browse those social platforms less; those aren't good places! }
He clicked on the screenshot to take a look; it was the Weibo trending list, which he had never downloaded or registered for.
【1#yefmvp】
【2#v5msiChampion!】
【3#uziedg】
【4#yePost-matchDominatingDeclaration】
Out of ten total spots, excluding the fixed advertising slots, Ye Bo's personal entries occupied more than half of them!
This was actually normal.
Although Brother Shengqiang Ge had been competing for many years, he had always been low-key both on and off the field and was not considered a "traffic player," and the same went for the bot lane duo.
Both junglers were also newcomers.
The fan distribution of the V5 team could be said to have been composed of at least 70% Ye Bo's fans from the very beginning.
Of course, Ye Bo had actually always been quite low-key; at least he had never done anything sensational for the sake of "traffic."
It was just a pity that his strength didn't allow him to be low-key. Just the moments he had on the field that made people's eyes light up were enough to spontaneously attract a large number of fans!
Ye Bo also saw several more screenshots sent in the family group chat; they were all rainbow farts about him in the Weibo comment section.
But Ye Bo knew at a glance that this was definitely "Mom's Selection."
After all, even when a player's public opinion was at its smoothest, there would always be "clear-headed brothers" who wanted to be unconventional and sing a different tune; it was hard to have a 100% all-positive comment section, which could also be considered a characteristic of the internet.
However, feeling his mom's intentions, Ye Bo still felt warm inside.
"My mom really understands me, knowing that I like this~" Ye Bo turned his phone to show Brother Shengqiang Ge next to him.
"Then @who is not good @#this!" Brother Shengqiang Ge, who was still chewing beef, showed the Hupu rating post interface he was browsing: "Every time I finish a match, I rely on this stuff to feel good; it feels better for longer than winning the match~"
The observant Ye Bo suddenly noticed.
In the input box below the rating interface on the other person's phone, there seemed to be a line of text that hadn't been finished or sent yet.
It seemed to be 【Don't smear, I think Brother Shengqiang Ge played also】
Ye Bo couldn't help but turn back: "That reminds me, Twitter doesn't have rating posts, it's really lacking; looking at this, I still have to look at our domestic forums~"
Abroad, Ye Bo usually just browsed local social media, but this time he specifically hung up a VPN to flip back to the Hupu Tieba he was familiar with.
As soon as he clicked in, the frenzy of public opinion regarding this match rushed towards him!
【The easiest episode!】
【Wonderful! As for where it's wonderful, I can only say that they raced with experience, raced with muscle memory, and raced with friendship!】
【Don't understand, ask: when did League of Legends also have a "One-Click Sweep" mode?】
【In the first game, seeing Left Hand pick that Cassiopeia, I thought JDG really had hope today, but who could have imagined that Left Hand's Cassiopeia looked like a primitive man in front of Master Ye~~】
【Congratulations to JDG! The small score against V5 this season has already reached 8 to 0! It has already broken the historical record created by Grandpa Zhuge Liang! It's even one more game caught than Grandpa Zhuge Liang catching Meng Huo!】
To be fair, Ye Bo indeed felt that they had already developed "insights" into playing against JDG.
The players on this team were all the type that found it difficult to make changes in playstyle; under the condition that the lineup remained unchanged, it probably wouldn't be easy to say what earth-shaking changes could happen in the second half of the year.
And according to the current situation, JDG, which was bound to enter the playoffs, would at least play against them twice more in the Summer Split.
This record would probably have to be improved!
Scooping up another spoonful of cloyingly sweet Kung Pao Chicken, Ye Bo's fingers kept scrolling down, arriving at the rating post section.
However, Ye Bo had only just clicked in... he almost spat out the chicken!
I saw that the top hot comment in the rating section belonging to Left Hand was actually an original painting of Ahri's "Korean Flair" — it's just that Ahri's face had been replaced by Left Hand's!
This prankster creator seemed to have deliberately enlarged the mouth area and added blush and bright red lips.
They even specifically selected a face of Left Hand wearing {pink cat-ear headphones} to contrast with Ahri's fox ears; at first glance, there was simply no sense of incongruity, making Ye Bo recall two hours ago...
【Your mom's kiss, no wonder Master Ye didn't dare to eat this Ahri's kiss later; if she kissed me once, I'd have nightmares for at least a week!!!】
【To be fair, the credibility score of the barrage brothers is really worth learning from "Daily One Up"; saying it's PS is really PS, hey, it's a pity Hupu can't cast monthly tickets, I can only give you a like】
【Damn! Give me back my Ahri! How can you let me look directly at my favorite Ahri in the future!】
【Pure rational discussion, is Ye the nemesis of Left Hand? In the first half, he played so fiercely against Chovy and ShowMaker, but as soon as he played him, he pooped his pants; I'm afraid there's really some theory to it, right?】
【It really is, look at the microphone between games; that wave when Left Hand was solo-killed by Sylas turning his head, he was so anxious he could talk; it's simply a damn medical miracle!】
Ye Bo kept scrolling down, his mind still full of that big mouth of Ahri.
He used to often fantasize about the scene of him summoning Ahri in the "Pot," but damn, now whenever he thought of Ahri, his mind was full of this picture!
Striving to shake that image out, Ye Bo prepared to go to his own comment section to wash his eyes.
The pinned image was his most iconic peace sign photo.
【What is called an octagon mid laner (tactical lean back)】
【Why does Master Ye use his right hand to make a V sign? Is he implying that Left Hand is no good?】
【Fun fact: In history, only one person has simultaneously won the "MSI FMVP" and the "S-Tournament FMVP"! The Ye dynasty is coming~~~~】
【It really is! Even the path is very similar; SKT was invincible starting from the second half of S5, and then was invincible for two and a half years, only one step away from achieving a dynasty!】 ===== CHAPTER 273 =====
