Chapter 303: Liquidation Feast! The Most Dangerous Profession in the LPL!

As he walked into the backstage area, Ye Bo ran head-on into the BLG group, who were packing up to leave after watching the match.

Chen Zebin, who had clearly also just finished watching the live interview, saw Ye Bo, and for some reason, his expression turned a bit strange.

It was as if he was "unconvinced"!

The mere thought that every pre-match and post-match interview he racked his brains for didn't get as much of a reaction as a casual remark from someone else.

It was practically more uncomfortable than losing the match itself!

Damn it! Could it be that I can't even beat him at trash talk?

"That last part... did you prepare that answer last week!?" An unconvinced Chen Zebin couldn't help but pursue the question, wanting the other party to admit that this was actually a piece of "long-thought-out" snark from Ye Bo.

"Not at all, just said it off the cuff." Ye Bo, not understanding why the other party cared about this, paused for a second and answered naturally.

"I don't believe you!"

"Believe what you want then~"

Chen Zebin sulked to himself and prepared to turn and leave with his teammates.

However, Beichuan, who was walking at the very back of the group, had a visibly bitter expression that suddenly turned incredibly happy the moment he saw Ye Bo.

He trotted all the way over, squeezing through the crowd to say hello.

Ye Bo noticed that standing in front of Beichuan just a moment ago was someone wearing a BLG player uniform; he felt vaguely familiar, like a jungler from some fringe team, but he couldn't place him for a moment.

But it was very obvious.

After BLG suffered another crushing 0-2 defeat against WBG today, this person was highly likely the one rumored to be replacing Beichuan.

Catching the despondency in the other man's eyes, Ye Bo turned his head and used a half-joking tone: "Hey Brother Bin, don't you go bullying our Brother Chuan! Otherwise, I'll keep my eyes on you and beat you up next time we play!"

"The hell??" Chen Zebin, inexplicably called out, was full of question marks: "Do I look like the kind of person who would bully others!"

"Just a reminder~~~~ Oh right, did you just tell JackeyLove that you found our flaws again and will definitely beat us in the playoffs?"

"Holy crap! How did you know!?"

"He actually guessed it right, heh."

The player backstage corridor was crowded, with many staff members coming and going.

Seeing several high-traffic players gathered here, with some people even taking out their phones to film, it wasn't a good place to linger.

However, as Ye Bo hugged Beichuan before leaving, he raised his voice and said: "Chuan, if things don't work out, just come home anytime, our team is always short of substitutes."

The specially raised volume was clearly caught by the BLG group and the management in front.

Every one of their expressions turned somewhat strange.

But not a single one of them dared to respond, clearly knowing exactly what he meant.

Beichuan wasn't a fool; he was so moved he almost wanted to sign a contract of indenture on the spot, and could only cast a grateful look back.

The meaning of those words was very clear.

That person is someone we "lent" to you; even if he's not a good fit and you don't want him, you'd better take good care of him when you send him back!

Try bullying him and see what happens!

But to be fair, it was only because Ye Bo said it that it had this effect.

After all, in terms of current team status, personal glory, performance on the field, team reputation, and most importantly, "traffic" — Ye Bo alone could easily outshine the entire BLG team!

His words carried weight and truly had an "intimidating" effect.

The BLG group left in silence, and the player who had been standing second to last even proactively and diligently let Beichuan stand in front of him.

As soon as Ye Bo pushed the door open and walked into the preparation room, his teammates immediately started jeering.

"Back already?"

"Master Ye, why do you still say everything out loud? You were the same last year!"

"Haha, I really remember that, hey Flandre, Master Ye's interview last year basically exposed your entire bottom line!"

Clearly, the teammates who had also finished watching the live stream teased him one after another.

Ye Bo walked toward the locker to get his phone with a grin, joking back: "Can't help it, I love telling the truth~"

While waiting for his phone to turn on, Ye Bo casually brought up what happened outside the door just now.

"That? We saw it through the crack in their preparation room door when we were coming back; they really are good at hiding things, heh." Flandre replied casually.

"Probably afraid of being scolded, wanting to see if they could win today first!" Xun said with a smile: "But that guy, actually, has a tiny bit of a connection to you and Flandre."

Ye Bo was skillfully opening a forum app, but his curiosity was suddenly piqued upon hearing this.

"Has a connection to me? How so?"

Only after listening to the other's explanation did he find out.

It turned out that the man was actually a player who came out of the EDG youth training system!

The player ID was Shad0w, who had been the jungler for the new European powerhouse MAD for the past two years, and was even a core player for the team.

At the same time, he was the only "Chinese import" in the European region.

Yes.

Although Shad0w was an ethnic Chinese born in Italy, due to his time in EDG's youth training, his official league registration was in the LPL, meeting the standard for a "local player."

So he still counted toward BLG's "all-Chinese team" marketing point.

Come to think of it, that year was the S9 Spring Split, and EDG management had to choose between the newcomers Jiejie and Shad0w.

It is said that in the end, they wanted to keep both for a rotation.

But in the end, Shad0w himself declined — the reason being that EDG's daily training and management were too strict, and having grown up in a foreign environment, he was very unaccustomed to that kind of life.

Which is to say, he could have originally been a teammate of Li Xuanjun and Ye Bo!

"Looking at it this way, this guy's eye for picking teams isn't very good; he must be regretting it to death now~" BeryL said from a unique perspective.

"Just over a year apart, and just like that, he missed the chance for a back-to-back championship."

Xun also immediately responded loudly: "Oh my! That's definitely a huge regret; after he returned to the LPL the year before last, he went to LGD, and they were the bottom of the region for two consecutive years!"

"That's true, when it comes to picking teammates, you still have to look at my Brother Xun." Flandre joked with him.

"Hey, Flandre, you're not bad either." Xun immediately replied with a cheeky grin, patting his shoulder.

"Hey, we're not bad either."

BeryL reacted even faster to pick up the joke, making even Deft laugh.

The preparation room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Ye Bo, who had been reminiscing, suddenly went "Oh~" as well.

"So it was that guy from LGD, I was wondering why he looked so familiar. Wait, didn't they just beat BLG in the Spring Split?"

"Right, right, right, right!" Xun confirmed repeatedly: "The problem is, the jungler who lost to them back then was Wei, not my Brother Chuan!"

After all, the LPL had 18 teams, and with starters and substitutes combined, there were at least nearly a hundred players; it was impossible for Ye Bo to be familiar with every single one.

But he really did have an impression of LGD from the first half of the year!

Just because this team could be called a "team of miracles" — their record in the Spring Split was 2-15 in series, firmly the last-place team.

But guess what?

The only two opponents they beat were none other than BLG and TES!

Although the performance of TES and BLG in the Spring Split wasn't exactly great, they were at least top-six level in the league!

As a result, both were taken down by the last-place team!

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder why BLG would choose this person; after all, he had just beaten them.

Ye Bo opened the Tieba forum, originally wanting to see the post-match reactions to enjoy himself.

But with his sharp eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a newly posted trending thread.
