"First, let's congratulate ZGDX for maintaining their winning streak." The reporter said.
"Thank you," Cheng Ge said replied. Jia Xuan was seating next to Jiao Huang who was trying to hold her hand and ended up holding her pinkie.
"At the same time, we're surprised that Team YQCB didn't leave the venue even after they finish their matches. That's why we have the chance to arrange for a special interview like this," The same exact reporter said.
"Actually, we wanted to leave. But our coach didn't allow us to. He told us to stay in the lounge and observe how the 4-Protect-1 should be implemented. We're not familiar with it because it's a new strategy for us," Liang Sheng explained.
"And also, the original plan was the actually stay for ZGDX match, because as someone from that team is playing, we have to be supportive," Rong Rong explained. Ai Jia held his laughter. Jia Xuan whispered to Jiao Huang, translating whatever they said to him in Korean.
"Excuse me, I would like to ask Team ZGDX a question. Under the current meta, the 4-protect-1 strategy isn't really a suitable strategy. If so, why did you use the same strategy when Team YQCB lost their previous match with the same strategy," Another reporter questioned.
"It is because our Top said she wanted to try the 4-Protect-1 strategy. She wanted our Mid to use Yuki Onna. I think that it might work. At the same time, we can teach the other ADCs how to implement the strategy. That's why we played two matches with the same strategy," Cheng Ge said, looking at Tong Yao then to Jiao Huang. As Jia Xuan translate it to Jiao Huang, their eyes widen.
"그 사람이 어떻게 감히 그런 말을 합니까 (How dare he say that)," Jia Xuan and Jiao Huang said, at the same time, turning their head to look at Cheng Ge, slightly smirking.
"I have a question for Team YQCB. I know an incident happened after your second match and Ai Jia wasn't included in the starting line-up for the third match. So are you suspended?" Another reporter asked, "Your fans want to hear about it." Ai Jia moved his mouth and Liang Sheng look at him.
"Actually, it's like this. We replaced him in the third match after the discussion with our coach. I know. Many netizens are coming up with their own stories. They said that Ai Jia is too arrogant to play because he was too arrogant or Ai Jia's sister is trying to take over his spot. Actually, that's not the case. So everyone please stop it," Liang Sheng said, "Actually it is because Ai Jia was in a bad mood and Ai Jia didn't have a proper substitute. When we play during practice matches, it is usually sometime Dark Fairy aka Jia Xuan helping him. So we thought it would be better if we replace him with his sister, Jia Xuan. That's why we swapped him out."
"I have a question. Why were you in a bad mood?" Another reporter asked, Jia Xuan sighed loudly.
"Didn't you see what happened?" Ai Jia said. Liang Sheng nudged his hand telling him to stop talking.
"I have a question. Lately, there has been a lot of news regarding the private relationship with pro gamers. As pro gamers, what are your thoughts about it?" There was silence among them all. Jia Xuan and Jiao Huang weren't really listening, Jiao Huang was still trying to intertwine their hand together and Jia Xuan getting away.
"Just let nature takes its course. We don't really think about them. We spent most of our time training and preparing for the tournament. We rarely have time to get in touch with people outside. That's why most of us are still single," Tong Yao said.
"Wait, that doesn't mean that we're monks," Lao Mao said, appearing at the back of the room, making everyone laugh, "It not that we couldn't find a girlfriend. But it's not that we don't want to find a girlfriend. And it's not we can't get a girlfriend. Anyways, y'all have to understand what's going on."
"But most fans wish that the pro gamers can focus on their tournament and win the International Championship," The reporter said, "They don't want you to be distracted by other things."
"Then let me ask. Are the fans real fans? Real fans wouldn't just want us to win the tournament, they would like us to be happy. So if we got a relationship, they will support us. However, if you're those fans, that only focus on us when we win, you're o true fans," Jia Xuan said, "진짜 팬들은 우리를 영원히 응원하고 아껴줄 것이다. 가짜 팬들은 그러지 않을 거예요 (Real fans will support us forever and care for us. Fake fans won't)."
"Let me say this. Most parents hope that their children studies hard so that they can enter Tsinghua University in the near future. So they want their child to forget about everything else, just like what they really hope for. You guys can memorize English words during break time. They don't want you guys to be distracted by games as well. Parents often discuss about this topic. But their main intention is for you to study hard and get good grades so that y'all can have a good life. That sounds reasonable on the surface. But usually, fans who gives this kind of suggestions mostly come from this age group. Some of them are adults from the working class. When you expect pro gamers, who are human like you, to obey such rules. Let's forget about the people who tease pro gamers for not being serious at their career and tease them about having a relationship or playing other games during break time. Don't tell me you guys never try to laze around when you're studying or even working? I just hope that you can put yourself in other people's shoes. Everyone is still young. I'm sure everyone was distracted in class before. And I'm sure that everyone has slept in class before or has spend their time peeking at beautiful girls," Cheng Ge said, Tong Yao pinched his thigh and he took a huge breathe.
"Although, I haven't experience them myself, what I want to say is what's the difference between you and us? You want us to perform like saints, untainted and pure? There is no perfect human in this world. If you always discuss the lives of a pro gamer, blaming them for playing Rubix cube, Snakes, or even them being in a relationship, it's pretty boring to be honest. We spent our time practicing and training. The time we spent in training is more than the time that people spent to study. Many people had to break up with their partners because their separated after their graduation. But for pro gamers like us? We would suddenly get dumped. Why?" Cheng Ge continued.
"Cheng Ge, you talk talk talk. Are you thirsty? You talk more than 300 words you know. Talk so fast, until I can't translate to Jiao Huang," Jia Xuan complained, as the reporters talk among themselves.
"Why?"
"I suggest you guys interview Team CK's Jungler God Yang or Top, Ming. They'll tell you why," Xiao Pang said.
"Uhm," Tong Yao cleared her throat.
"Hey! Those two are my best friends bro!" Jia Xuan argued.
"Who?" Jiao Huang asked.
"Tong Yao's 전 남자 친구 (Ex boyfriend) and mine," Jia Xuan said. Jiao Huang chuckled. Jia Xuan pinched his hand, making him to scream softly.
"Cheng Ge, it seems like you're very well when it comes to relationships," The male reporter said.
"I'm not that young in this field. I've been a pro gamer for many years. I've seen plenty of things," Cheng Ge explained.
"You are old," Jia Xuan mumbled.
"So, do you mean that you don't object to pro gamers being in a relationship with each other," The male reporter said.
"Obviously," Jiao Huang and Jia Xuan muttered under their breathe. In their head, they were probably starting to think what to eat after this interview.
"I won't object it as long as they know their limits. We all heard before couples who got into esteemed universities together, am I right?" Cheng Ge said.
"Cheng Ge, do you want to also be in a relationship?" The male reporter asked. Lao K and Xiao Pang looked at each other, before turning their heads to look at Cheng Ge. YQCB people started to look at Cheng Ge too.
"I have someone that I like already," Cheng Ge simply said.
"Huh," Ai Jia said.
"What-" Xiao Pang said, mouth opened wide. Jia Xuan look at Tong Yao mouthing, "Aww, your Cheng Ge is confessing that he likes you. How sweet." Tong Yao showed her fist before Jia Xuan kept her mouth shut. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq6PzXHw6Q
"So what do you have to say to your fans who expect the impossible from you?" The male reporter asked.
"I'm thankful for their love and support and I will do my best in the future," Cheng Ge said, "And I would like to say..." While Cheng Ge was talking, Jiao Huang was circling Jia Xuan's palm. Jia Xuan tried to hold onto her laughter because Tong Yao's ear was near red. Then Cheng Ge held Tong Yao's hand under the table. Tong Yao's eye widen. Jia Xuan smirked before looking back to the front. Then they stood up and walk away. Jiao Huang quickly held her hand before running back to his team. Liang Sheng rolled his eyes.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAYxhtkmxF
