Chapter 149 (1)
After ZGDX players bowed to the audience on stage, Old Cat went to do the MVP interview. Old Cat’s last brilliant play, when Gnar was trapped under the turret and transformed into Mega Gnar, killing CK’s ad, reminded everyone of the spirit of the first top player of the world, Marin. When he was still in the major league, he would rather die than give up even if the enemy was specifically targeting him.
It was probably because both of ZGDX’s carries were always quite dazzling, Old Cat as the top was usually overlooked. In most circumstances, Old Cat would cautiously develop his champion and maintain the team’s early game momentum, waiting for when both their mid and ad developed to the point where the two of them can take over the game– –So when the game was going smoothly, Old Cat didn’t seem that important. Sometimes, when he made mistakes and couldn’t hold the early game, people would even say he was ZGDX’s weak link.
— –But in reality, it was rare to find a top player in the whole major league who could steady the game, could carry the game when necessary, and also had a deep champion pool.
“This seems to be the first MVP interview Old Cat has done this season?” Tong Yao asked.
“Not playing well. Who could he blame for not getting MVP?” Old K rolled his eyes.
Tong Yao chuckled and shook her head: “Are you looking for a fight with him again?”
Little Fatty: “What Old K means with that tone is something like: My son hasn’t done well in this year’s college entrance exam. He missed Tsinghua University just by a bit and had to go to Peking University instead. I’ll teach him a lesson after he comes home for not studying hard enough.”
Tong Yao: “……”
Tong Yao looked over at the interview area as she was packing up her equipment. The host happened to ask Old Cat why they had all gotten slapped by Ming god during the ban & pick phase of the last round of the match. Old Cat thought about it and said: “It’s because during the ban & pick all the other teammates were talking nonsense and only Ming god was seriously thinking about it. No one was paying attention to him and he got angry, then we all got slapped…… Actually I was the only one who hadn’t joined in their nonsense, but I got hit anyway, so unfair.”
Tong Yao: “……”
The audience and the host all laughed hearing Old Cat’s answer. The interview went along nicely.
Tong Yao looked back and was about to say something– –Then she sensed that something didn’t seem right. Her captain seemed rather quiet all this time.
While all the other teammates were making fun of Old K’s first MVP interview of the season, Lu Sicheng kept his quiet and threw his backpack onto his shoulder after packing his stuff. Then he started to walk out, only to stop after a few steps. He turned back and bent over to pick up Tong Yao’s backpack, then he strode off the competition stage ignoring Tong Yao’s existence.
Tong Yao followed with quick steps and reached over to pull on the strap of Lu Sicheng’s backpack: “Slow down.”
Lu Sicheng paused, turned to take a look at her, then coldly turned his face away without saying anything. But now each of his steps were a little shorter than before. He walked back to the breakroom, drank some water, and still kept quiet with a poker face. He continued to be silent and left the breakroom to go to the parking lot– —
He seemed to be in a mood totally opposite to the happy mood in the breakroom.
Xiao Rui watched his back as he disappeared out of the door and asked with confusion: “What’s going on with him?”
Didn’t they just win the match? And won it quite brilliantly
Why that face?
Tong Yao was asking the staff where they had put the bandages at the time. After a staff member pointed out the location, she found the bandage under a pile of papers and stuffed it into her pocket. She was about to go after Lu Sicheng but paused after hearing Xiao Rui’s question. She explained nicely: “He’s jealous.”
Then she also disappeared out of the door rather urgently.
