LOL: Reborn in S9, Coaching the Trident

Chapter 66: Doubts

Post-match interview segment.

For IG fans, this is the moment they look forward to the most.

Because the host of today's post-match interview was none other than Xiaoyu.

The camera switched from the narrator's booth to the interview booth, where we can see that the person invited for the interview is Ning.

Wearing a pale yellow dress and with fluffy hair, Xiaoyu held the microphone and smiled like an auntie, saying, "Welcome to the post-match interview segment. I'm your host, Xiaoyu. Congratulations to IG for winning today's match. Now, our interviewee is Ning."

"Ning, please say hello to everyone first."

Ning slowly raised the microphone in his hand and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Ning, the jungler for IG."

After a burst of cheers from the fans, Xiaoyu got straight to the point and asked, "So today you ended Top Esports' three-game winning streak. Did you feel that there was something mysterious about playing against Top Esports? It seemed like Top Esports couldn't perform well every time they faced you, and their win rate wasn't very high. Why is that?"

Ning smiled and said, "I think... you should go ask EDG instead..."

Hahahaha...

That cracked me up!

[The Prince of Ning's remarks begin]

Not only the fans at the scene and those watching the live stream, but even Xiaoyu, the host, was amused by Ning's reply and couldn't stop laughing while standing next to him.

After managing her expression, Xiaoyu continued, "For Ning, the recent shift in IG's starting five has suddenly transformed you from a younger brother to an older brother figure. How has your role within the team changed?"

Ning replied seriously, "I don't think much has changed. I'm always the one leading the charge, you can tell from my height, right?"

IG players' rest area.

After listening, Chen Song gave Mafa a meaningful look.

No, is this post-match interview really not just about chatting about IG's everyday life?

The key point is that these viewers and fans seem quite happy to see such interviews.

To be honest, this doesn't seem to have much to do with winning against TES today, does it?

Especially the line about going from a younger brother to a big brother, which seemed like a public display of concern for Rookie.

However, Chen Song was not so tactless as to ask Mafa directly, since Xiao Yu, as one of his own, was primarily concerned about IG.

After Ning finished answering, Xiaoyu looked up at Ning and asked the third question: "In today's match, we could see that your performance was very good, but you were a little sluggish in the early stages of this season. So, for Ning and the entire IG team, how do you plan to adjust?"

Interestingly, when Xiaoyu asked the question, she subconsciously said "for our IG" instead of "for IG," but she quickly corrected herself.

Upon hearing this question, Ning's expression immediately became much more serious.

It must be said that Xiaoyu's performance was quite good.

Knowing that Ning was a little shy in the interview, we chatted about everyday things first to give him time to organize his thoughts before getting to the main topic.

Ning paused for a moment: "Our current form isn't great either, but compared to the beginning of the Summer Split, it's improved. Plus, the new tactical analyst has provided us with a lot of help, so I believe we'll play better and better from here on out."

Hearing Ning open up, Xiaoyu pressed further, "So, there's still room for adjustment, and there's room for improvement. Speaking of the new tactical analyst, you've frequently picked Sejuani in recent matches, and the team has used several different hero compositions. Is all of this related to the new tactical analyst?"

She had heard from Rookie that the tactical analyst from LNG was quite capable, not only getting TheShy and Ning, who were currently at odds, to have dinner together, but also confronting Karam in public at the club.

And the truth is that, in the match against EDG, it wasn't as the commentators said, that Karam was unwell and unable to play. Instead, IG took the initiative to let Chen Song take the field as coach.

Xiaoyu was shocked when she heard this.

After LPL clubs were able to confront Korean coaches, they were also able to replace them.

Holy crap, what kind of amazing person is this!

It's just that Rookie recently went back to South Korea, otherwise she would have definitely asked Rookie to take her to meet this legendary tactical analyst.

Ning does not speak up during the interview.

She really didn't know how to ask.

Now that Ning has opened this door, she has to dig something out of it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the hosts just ask questions casually on stage; they actually have requirements.

Learning how to generate even more buzz is a must-learn skill for them.

As you can see, after Xiaoyu asked this question, Ning's serious expression turned into a smile at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

He raised the microphone and said, "Compared to other tactical analysts, he is really too comprehensive. Not only me, but all the players on the team respect him from the bottom of their hearts."

Xiaoyu then asked a few more different questions, but none of them had anything to do with Chen Song. Most of them were teasing questions about why he would choose Zhao Xin.

Post-match interviews have always been an indispensable source of buzz for League of Legends. After the interviews, a variety of topics emerge on platforms including Weibo and Tieba.

The most interesting comments were the witty remarks from netizens.

Ning seemed a little reserved when faced with his sister-in-law's question.

Couldn't you have asked a few more questions about Chen Song?

[I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you're going to play for me?]

Online, there are always some people who feel the hype isn't big enough and actively stir up trouble:

[You put it so euphemistically, but I heard that Chen Song successfully took over and led IG to victory against EDG after a huge argument with Karam at the club. As for who controlled the draft picks in this match, I think it was probably Chen Song.]

A series of replies immediately appeared below his comment.

[Good bro, Red Bull's here to watch the show.]

[If you give me 50 likes, I want to see what's going on.]

[Holy crap, is this for real? Is it really that exciting?]

[Do you have a video? I'll buy it.]

"Chen Song, have you seen this comment?"

Su Xiaoluo handed the phone to Chen Song and said, "We should have blocked all news at the time, I don't know how it got out."

"Manager Su, are you implying you doubt me?"

Chen Song stared at Su Xiaoluo, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"No, if I doubted you, why would I ask you now?"

Su Xiaolu shook her head: "Karam and Mafa don't understand Chinese, so I'll tell you first."

Chen Song seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this. He first turned to look at Karam, then turned his gaze to Su Xiaoluo: "You mean...?"

Su Xiaoluo didn't reply, but nodded instead.

Now Chen Song understood what he meant. Looking at Su Xiaoluo's serious expression, Chen Song was somewhat surprised and said softly:

"That's probably unlikely, isn't it?"
