Chapter 162 (4)
Tong Yao: “……What’s going on?”
Xiao Rui: “It looks like before the end of the first round of the group match, CK and YQCB will have to play skirmishes with each other to the point that their players would be fed up just by seeing each other’s game ids.”
Tong Yao squashed the water cup and threw it into the trash: “Why can’t they get the other teams to play skirmishes with them?”
“It goes without saying, the China region hasn’t performed well in the last few years in the World tournaments. We used to be able to beat North America, kick the European region, and openly challenge the Korean teams…… But now, in recent international competitions, even some of the European or American teams which we labelled as noobs could occasionally return the label to us.” Xiao Rui touched his chin: “It’s normal that weaker teams can’t arrange skirmishes with other teams during international competitions. See, those wild card teams didn’t even bother to come early.”
Tong Yao: “……”
She thought it was so unfair.
Tong Yao: “I truly don’t think Korean RP is any better than YQCB. During the MSI (Mid-Season Invitational) this year, CK had won all the matches during the first round of group matches, even beating the Korean teams, not to mention teams from other regions– –The other teams haven’t even played with CK face to face yet, what makes them……”
Xiao Rui: “Right.”
Tong Yao: “?”
“So it would probably last till the end of the first round.” Xiao Rui shook the scheduling sheet in his hand: “After the first round is over, there will be a major shuffle of the skirmish scheduling– –October 7! After that day, whether this sheet in my hand will be filled up like today will all depend on your performance.”
Tong Yao was still indignant about how the other Chinese teams couldn’t get other teams to play skirmishes with them– —
She knew that the China region hadn’t performed well in recent years, but she didn’t expect it would have such direct consequences……
Even teams from the Taiwan region received better treatment than those two teams!
Looking at Tong Yao’s red face from being too angry, Xiao Rui sighed and patted her head.
“Respect doesn’t come from the favors of others, we have to earn the respect on our own– –It all depends on us whether we can return the “noob” label.”
……
That night, the news media back in China somehow got wind of the news that CK and YQCB couldn’t get other teams to play skirmishes with them!
However, with the rules, “praise only, no trolling; rewards for reporting, reporting is everyone’s duty”, set up by the hosts of two of the most popular Tieba forums in place, there was no one around posting derogatory comments anymore. The fans were unprecedentedly united on this issue– —
[What the heck! Who are these damn dogs looking down upon!]
[Granted that the Koreans have their noses in the air, they’re really good afterall. But who are those European and American noobs? Let’s support our teams and crush the others! Go YQCB! Go CK!]
[Aiyo, I’m pissed off, qaq. They dare look down upon my cute relegation team!]
[Even our relegation team can qualify for the world tournament, what are they picky about? My poor YQCB!]
[I support my Yang god raising pigs and Chinese sturgeons in their jungles!]
[It’s time to throw the “noob” label, which had been put on some people at S2, back to them now. Chinese teams, don’t be afraid, just do it!]
