NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 96 (2)
Tong Yao took a glance at the microphone in the reporters hand. Just as she had expected, the logo on the microphone showed that this reporter was from an infamous esports media outlet. They liked to take words out of context and stirred up controversies around players.
Their reports had regularly been refuted by esports clubs and players and they apologized each time, but their reporters still kept doing the same thing-- --
A famous incident was when a player had said: I think the Korean players have brought more things to the Chinese region when they first started to come over here. But the media reported it as A certain player has frankly pointed out that Korean players were only useful early on.
Ai Jia also noticed who was asking the question and mockingly twitched the corner of his lips. It was obvious that he didnt think this question was worthy of answering.
The atmosphere inside the room grew awkward.
That reporter sulkily sat back down when there were no answers forthcoming. But his question steered the interview towards a different direction, away from the matches themselves. Soon there was another report who stood up to ask-- --
Reporter: [Recently, there has been constant talk centered around the private love lives of professional players, as professional players yourselves, what do you think about all this?]
All the players from YQCB simply put down their microphones all together.
Seeing their reaction, Tong Yao felt like laughing but at the same time was somewhat annoyed by the question.
Little Fatty: [Just let it be, I dont have any particular thoughts about it-- --Actually, we play games everyday at base with very limited contact with other people, so were basically all single.
Old K grabbed the microphone from Little Fatty and added to make a point: But that doesnt mean we are monks in a temple-- --We cant find girlfriends, not that we dont want to, nor because were not allowed to do that-- --Its very important to understand this.
Reporter: [However, there are quite a lot of fans who wish that players could focus on playing games and winning championships, rather than thinking about other concerns-- --Its like they wish while youre streaming ranked games, you should go check on stats or something during your breaks instead of going to play other odd games.
There are quite a lot of these kinds of discussions on Tieba and other sites...Fans just like to see you guys focusing on games and performing well.]
Lu Sicheng thought about it and used his left hand to pick up the microphone-- --Tong Yao had a feeling the man next to her was giving a signal that said: pay attention, Im going to make trouble. She gave him an uneasy look and tugged Lu Sichengs right hand under the table.
It didnt dissuade Lu Sicheng.
What followed was a show of Lu Sichengs amazing photographic memory and his caustic demeanor.
Lu Sicheng: Allow me to rephrase what you just said and tell me if it makes sense or not: There are quite a lot of parents who wish their children could focus on their studies and earn higher scores in the entrance exam in order to get into Qinghua or Beida and not get caught up with other unrelated things-- --Its like they wish you would go memorize English vocabulary or something during your breaks instead of going to play some other odd game.
There are a lot of these kinds of discussions at places where parents enjoy line dancing...Parents just like to see you guys focus on your studies, earn good grades, and have a better life.
Reporter: ...........................
Lu Sicheng: It sounds quite reasonable.
Little Fatty already burst into laughter as he applauded.
Ai Jia also clapped as well though without much expression on his face.
