Chapter 6: The Reversal of Public Opinion Shouldn't Have Been Like This
"You're really awesome."
Ke Yi was surprised to find that this also involved learning from the barbarians' strengths to subdue them, and he was at a loss for words.
He's a true genius.
"Let's wait for the official announcement first. No one can say for sure until the official announcement is released."
Ke Yi didn't draw a conclusion, but it was clear that he wouldn't be surprised if they were arrested.
Having been in the e-sports industry for so long, he's become unfazed by anything.
Did no one fight this in the past few years?
However, without concrete evidence and reports, the alliance has not initiated an investigation.
Match-fixing is unavoidable, but investigations will always uncover it.
"Then let the league officials conduct a thorough investigation and uncover all the irregularities in Condi's credentials!"
"So confident, huh?"
Ke Yi nodded blankly, and three seconds later...
wrong.
Ke Yi suddenly looked up: "You'd better be saying that you're really investigating match-fixing."
That's exactly what I meant.
666
Ke Yi was truly at her wit's end: "You're a genius at live streaming, you know that? It's a shame you're not doing live streaming, I'm serious."
"But what if it's not found out?"
"Not so great, keep reporting him, he'll still throw the match anyway."
?
"How so?" Ke Yi asked curiously.
Chen Wang: "If he's a fake, he'll be a fake for life. He'll be a fake for life."
"The evidence is all in the hands of those betting operators. If he doesn't want to play, they can expose him in a heartbeat. Match-fixing is like domestic violence; it's either zero times or countless times."
"Once you get involved, there's no stopping you."
Hearing this, Ke Yi didn't know what to say. She just kept scrolling through her phone, trying to see what her fans were saying on Weibo.
The online public opinion is still fermenting.
Many people have already posted criticisms of Chen Wang, threatening to arrest him on charges of insult and defamation once the official announcement is released.
As he was scrolling, he suddenly saw a message that startled him.
"Chen Wang, look! Someone has released your personal information."
What a fast delivery!
However, Chen Wang didn't care too much: "Let them get their hands on it. Professional players aren't afraid of this. When I have money, I'll just send them a lawyer's letter and that'll be the end of it."
"No, look at this."
Seeing Ke Yi still holding her phone towards him, Chen Wang quickly waved his hand: "I know they're going to scold me, why would I look at it? Wouldn't that make me a complete idiot? I won't look."
"I'm not insulting you... well, just see for yourself."
The cell phone was placed in front of Chen Wang.
Seeing Ke Yi's insistence, Chen Wang had no choice but to take the phone and open the Weibo post he mentioned.
"It's alright, the information is all correct, and this photo is from when I was in high school."
"I'd forgotten my own ID number, but this one is exactly the same. It saved me a lot of trouble getting an ID card. Wait, what does this mean...?"
Chen Wang was stunned.
Because the comments under this Weibo post weren't, as he had imagined, all of them Condi's fans greeting his family and friends.
Instead...
Ahhh, my husband is so handsome!
I've become a fan!
[I knew you were handsome! Look what's happened (covers face)]
[I can't take it anymore, this is the esports player template I want, WE, are you guys crazy?]
[Such a great match and you won't let him play a single game? WE, are you crazy? Are you just here to eat for free? I want to see my darling play right away at MSI!]
Support Chen Wang! Reject match-fixing, protect him!
【Protect!】
"These people are so strange. They were just cursing at me a moment ago."
Chen Wang really couldn't understand it.
He had thought his reputation would turn around, but he never expected it to happen now!
The alliance's investigation results haven't even been released yet, so why are so many people already supporting it?
"No, something's not right."
"No, not in visual novels, oops, I mean, the shift in public opinion shouldn't be like this!"
"You should wait until I get to the game..."
Ke Yi ignored Chen Wang, who was still spouting nonsense, and said, half-jokingly and half-remarkably, "It's really good to be handsome. Just post a photo in the comments section and the public opinion on Weibo turns around."
"And in just this short time, your number of Weibo followers has already surpassed mine."
"It feels like I wasted three years of professional training."
Ke Yi really doesn't understand.
He worked hard every day and finally managed to get the team a runner-up position at IEM9.
Although he also relied on Brother A's coattails, he was still the runner-up.
He may not have made any great contributions, but he certainly put in a lot of effort. In the end, no one remembered him.
Chen Wang can attract a group of fans just by opening boxes?
"Isn't being bad at esports a cardinal sin?"
"Isn't it said that esports doesn't care about looks?"
"So, they can benefit from good looks too?"
"Brother Wang, I'm impressed."
Chen Wang was displeased: "What do you mean by reaping the benefits of good looks? They were clearly captivated by my powerful abilities and personal charm."
Ke Yi sneered.
"Is his strength because he couldn't beat Letme and got solo-killed by him?"
"Hey, wait, are you kidding me? I only got solo-killed once, and it was just a practice match! Why are you bringing it up again and again?! Does getting solo-killed once give me a criminal record?!"
"Yes, even if you become the world's number one in the future, I will still chase after you and tell you that I will remember you for the rest of my life."
After receiving such a reply from Ke Yi, Chen Wang was truly at a loss. He rolled his eyes and said, "Then you're invincible. From now on, if anyone tries to frame me, I'll arrest you first."
Despite saying that, Chen Wang was still somewhat moved.
Because he could see that his entry for "World's Best" had changed slightly.
The progress bar next to it jumped by 0.1%.
Good brother! I told you I wanted to become the best in the world, and you believed me.
This person is such a good person.
When a normal person sees their roommate and boss in a scandal, they'd rather run far away than risk being implicated.
After all, Chen Wang's behavior of making a fuss in the live broadcast room without reporting to the club was not much different from slapping the management in the face.
Because of this, many of the substitute youth trainees who used to get along well with him didn't even send him a greeting after this incident.
Unlike Ke Yi, who not only didn't change her attitude but also helped him check the news and pay attention to the situation.
We should also believe that he can truly become the world's best and contribute to his success.
He's a living Buddha!
"However, there are still more people criticizing you on Tieba and other platforms," Ke Yi reminded her, "You should probably stop live streaming for a while."
"There are a lot of fans waiting in your live stream to bombard you with criticism."
"The guys on Tieba aren't as easy to talk to as the girls in the fandom. Being handsome doesn't help much. Some of the old guys there say really nasty things. There are already people calling you a loser."
The victor is king, the loser is villain.
"Oh, there are historians too. I thought they would tell me I was making unfounded claims. They're being quite polite."
Chen Wang laughed: "Okay, I got it, I'll be more careful."
Weird.
------
The next day.
The midday sun shone into the WE club.
Chen Wang went to the common area to make a cup of coffee, and whether it was a coincidence or not, he happened to see Xi Ye coming down with panda eyes.
Xi Ye: ......
This kid is really something else when it comes to mentality.
Yesterday, the management and coach said they wanted to talk to him, but this guy just ran away, leaving behind the statement that he wouldn't say a word until Condi was found to have fixed the match.
No, what do you want to do?
Why are you acting like you're Condi's accomplice? I won't say a word until the police arrive, right?
Despite the complaints, Xi Ye had to admit that Chen Wang was shrewd and had directly prevented an unnecessary disaster.
"I was kept in the middle of the night by the coach and manager last night. They scolded me all night and asked me why I didn't keep an eye on you."
Seeing that Xi Ye's resentment was so thick it was about to turn into a black mist in the sky, Chen Wang could only laugh it off and pretend he knew nothing.
"Is that so? That coach is really mean, he doesn't even let you sleep."
