LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 82: Lucky Guy and Tiger Tooth's Promotional Offensive!

"You're making a fool of yourself!"

As soon as the words were spoken on stage, Li Rui had a bad feeling.

The straightforward young man next to him clearly had no idea what a huge mess he had made in front of the camera.

His professional instincts as a support player prompted him to quickly step to the side and pull his top lane teammate behind him, while giving the host a "It's okay, it's okay" smile.

After a brief silence, the microphone was returned to Fu Shiyan's hands.

"Uh..." He cleared his throat, his skin thickened from the experience of his previous life, and his emotions didn't fluctuate much. "I was just lucky."

"I was lucky to have a team owner who appreciated me, and I was lucky to have a group of teammates who were willing to believe in me."

"BJBS's success today is definitely not due to my efforts alone."

Applause erupted again from the audience.

The host had clearly already gotten the answer he wanted from Fu Shiyan's response, and nodded with a smile, not intending to ask any further questions.

Meanwhile, in the live stream room, the screen was filled with laughter and chatter.

[Okay, okay, you want to be a lucky guy too, right?]

[That's not entirely wrong. If he hadn't found a boss willing to delegate authority, entrusting him with full control over BJBS's training and competition, and had four teammates who trusted him unconditionally, Crush would most likely have ended up with his talent going to waste.]

[Bro, that makes sense, but when DaYun Ge reaches the top of the national server, there's no such thing as a hidden gem. He's shining brightly. At that point, if you join an internet cafe team, you can become an absolute core player.]

[But no matter what, Renmin University's Yun Ge's answer is satisfying, and it's better than the claim that "I'm the one who carries the team" from some other team.]

[I never would have guessed that my brother Dayun is such a cultured intellectual.]

[Friendly reminder: Before Huang Chao captured Chang'an, he was a diligent scholar who studied hard and participated in the imperial examinations.]

The topics in the comments section are getting increasingly off-topic, from "luck" to "the peasant uprisings of the late Tang Dynasty," and if this continues, they'll probably start discussing Huang Chao's chrysanthemum poems.

Fortunately, the host was a professional and seized the opportunity to throw out a new question of sufficient weight—immediately drawing everyone's attention back to the stage.

"Next question, Crush, now that you've led BJBS to the city championship and secured your place in the LSPL, what are your goals for the future?"

Fu Shiyan: "Let's actively prepare for the 2016 Spring Season!"

"First, establish yourself in LSPL; second, make it into LPL; as for what comes after that..."

"Okay, finally, is there anything you'd like to say to the Chinese server players who have always supported you, and to the fans who support BJBS?"

"Thank you, thank you everyone for your support."

When it's time to extend, extend; when it's time to simplify, simplify. In his previous life, Fu Shiyan was a frequent guest at interviews and knew how to strike the right balance.

In the last few minutes, we've revealed enough. We need to learn to leave some room for interpretation and give the audience and other clubs some time to process what we've learned.

After all, a brief conclusion can sometimes be more memorable than a lengthy explanation.

"..."

As soon as the interview ended, Lao Mo's uncontrollable excitement completely overwhelmed him.

While urging Fu Shiyan and several meritorious officials to pack their things, he had already taken out his phone to order a car.

"Hehe, we ordinary folks are really, really happy today!"

"We must treat you all well today."

The group headed straight for the Bund!

The owner of that private restaurant, which required reservations three days in advance, was an old acquaintance of Lao Mo. As soon as she heard it was him on the phone, she reserved a window seat with a river view without saying a word.

At this moment, Huya, as the exclusive broadcasting platform for this city championship, is finally ushering in their "battle moment".

The office area was brightly lit, with the sounds of keyboards, telephones, and hurried footsteps all blending together.

Qin Weichuan stood in the aisle, his face flushed.

"Quickly, quickly, send out the promotional posters and briefs! — Don't wait, release them on all platforms now!"

The team member in charge of the event had just pulled up the contingency plan when he urged him to go through it a second time: "Check the championship event one more time. There can't be a single descriptive error."

"A reward? A reward... double it again! We have to get that trending topic tomorrow."

"Also, have the writer proofread Crush's personal story on the event page again, and it would be best to communicate with Crush himself and ask for his opinion."

"Chuunibyou? Isn't eighteen the perfect age for chuunibyou?"

"You guys are too old to understand. What we want is that 'chuunibyou' (adolescent delusions of grandeur) feeling, that's the real deal!"

"Isn't it too aggressive?"

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry, Tencent has spoken up. Those LPL clubs are also looking for an opportunity to clear their names. We're just handing them the opportunity."

The entire office area was like a newly started engine, roaring and running at full speed.

Completely different from his gloomy and stifling state a month ago, Qin Weichuan now leaned against the pillar at his workstation, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth, exuding confidence and high spirits.

For him personally, saying that his luck had turned around is an understatement.

It's like being handed a flush by God after betting everything.

One crazy, uncontracted promotion, a marketing opportunity that risked his entire career and was his only chance in his life, turned him into a superstar on a platform from scratch.

Even more outrageous is that after signing this rising star, instead of stopping at his Rank performance, he achieved unprecedented success in his first professional match.

What does it mean to win by doing nothing?

This is an easy win.

It has to be said that once a person gets into a good mood, you can never imagine where that energy will come from.

Before he even had a chance to pave the way, Tencent gave him an unprecedented boost.

Post-match interviews wouldn't normally bring much exposure, but Crush is someone who was born for the stage.

One interview somehow managed to generate enough buzz online for him and a few straightforward teammates.

The match is over, but the fire for Huya has only just been lit.

Next, it's their turn to make this fire burn as brightly as possible.

……

At exactly 9 PM, Huya Live's splash screen popped up precisely on time—a sharply designed poster against a dark blue textured background, with large gold lettering bursting out in the center, instantly capturing the attention of every user who clicked on the webpage:

[Making history, undefeated in professional matches!]

[Huya's rising star, the strongest man in the Chinese server, Crush leads his team to victory!]

[Come to Huya Live to watch Tactical Master, Esports HC, and the Chinese Server's 100-Ton King strive for LPL—we'll be there for you every step of the way, cheering you on to victory, and giving away tons of prizes!]

In the bottom right corner of the poster, Crush's official competition photo shows him standing sideways with a cold gaze.

The comment section below the event was bustling with activity:

"Wow, undefeated in professional matches, is Dayun Ge really that awesome?"

"Are you serious, Ah Zhen? You just said you were going to make it into the professional league, and it's only been a little over a month and you're already in LSPL?"

"Oh ho, the next one is LPL, let's go!"

It can only be said that Huya's operations and marketing staff have indeed mastered the basics when it comes to wordplay.

Is the TGA Grand Prix considered a professional tournament? Yes.

Did Crush win the championship with a perfect record? They certainly didn't lose a single game.

You can't find fault with any of the words on that poster.

Faced with such a promotional poster, many players who were unaware of the facts were naturally shocked.
