Chapter 79 Fan War
Chapter 79 Fan War
After Daeny gave him a good scolding, things calmed down a bit.
The crowd then left the venue, with Mu Chun swaggering ahead.
But just as he was about to board the bus, a loud and shrill shout came from the fans behind him, "If you don't want to play AD, then get lost! Nobody's going to care about your bad habits!"
"They played terribly and then stole other people's post-match interviews. Have they no shame?!"
The cheers around them stopped abruptly, and everyone turned to look at the enthusiastic fan.
At least he was talking about me?
Thinking about it, Mu Chun turned around and looked in the direction of everyone's gaze, but couldn't see clearly. It seemed that he was standing quite far back.
Forget it, I'm not watching anymore. He's not even a real fan, why should I care about this?
With that in mind, he waved to his fans, then got into his car, ignoring the noise behind him.
As for why he waved, he'd be fined if he didn't interact with fans. He doesn't have much money anyway; his Demacia Cup prize money hasn't even arrived yet.
……
a few days later.
Since defeating NIP, the atmosphere at IG has become a bit more relaxed.
After all, their next two opponents are FPX and RNG, both relatively weak teams.
The next opponent is RNG, whom they will face on the 25th.
As for the fans' issue, no one has raised it. After all, it's a matter of biodiversity, and they haven't broken the law, so no one can control them.
Is the IG vs. RNG match considered a revenge match for the Spring Breeze Fairy?
Mu Chun had just arrived at the training room when a notification popped up on his phone.
Mu Chun stared at the title for two seconds, her mind filled with question marks.
Do I still have a grudge against RNG?
How come I didn't know?
He clicked on it out of curiosity.
The resourceful netizens dug up the fact that he went to RNG for a trial during the transfer period in order to find a job, and was then kicked out.
He then remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but RNG did not give him a trial opportunity at that time.
After finding out he couldn't play AD but insisted on doing it, I kicked him out... and didn't even give him fifty bucks.
He scrolled down through the comments.
Can this even be considered a grudge?
[After watching, where is the revenge? Besides proving RNG's poor judgment, what else does it prove?]
[This is terrifying to think about. RNG didn't want him, but they stole GALA's job! If it weren't for the fact that Deng didn't want to work anymore, GALA would probably still be looking for a job right now, wouldn't he?]
Mu Chun put down his phone and started his ranked game for the day, taking the opportunity to try out Jayce and subtly hint that Daeny had mastered a new champion.
RNG base.
"Did he really come for a tryout?" RNG's manager asked coach X1ri.
X1ri nodded, "I did have a tryout, but he said he couldn't play AD, so I let him go."
"You didn't ask him if he wanted to change positions!" the manager roared in anger.
X1ri nodded cautiously, "I asked, but they didn't want to."
The manager took a deep breath, calming himself down. "So, you didn't even give him a single practice match?"
X1ri shook his head sincerely.
The manager was so angry he laughed. "Fine, fine, fine."
He then looked at the form that Mu Chun had filled out with a pained expression.
He's a genius! If we had signed him back then, we could have stuck the contract, let him play for six months to showcase his talent, and then resold him.
RNG is still in debt, and this sale could raise some of that money. If all else fails, they could use it to pay off their debts, just like Xiaohu did.
But now, nothing is left.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who entered asked, "Manager, there's a lot of discussion online right now. Should we get involved and generate more buzz?"
The manager's eyes lit up. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, so why not capitalize on the situation? Even a bad reputation is still a reputation.
"We definitely need to piggyback on their popularity, but we need to be careful not to use official accounts. Let the fans do it; as long as the fire doesn't reach us."
The man nodded. "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Suddenly, a bunch of online trolls appeared, acting as GALA's supporters.
[IG used Ga Zi as a stepping stone; the tryout was a scam!]
How strong can a player be if even RNG doesn't want to hold him back from his contract?
[RNG didn't want him, but IG picked him up and treated him like a treasure, even having to pamper him!]
The post also included a picture of a slime bear outside RNG's gates, driving the healer out of RNG's gates.
Anyone with eyes could see that Mu Chun had just mentioned the wet nurse, and immediately used the wet nurse as a metaphor.
In an instant, IG fans officially joined the movement. Although they couldn't accept replacing GALA, Mu Chun was still an IG member, so they were the ones who could criticize him.
This naturally attracted a bunch of genuine fans who didn't know the truth to join the group.
However, the fan war between the two sides did not occur. IG's fan power was still too great. RNG's traditional style had long been taken away by Xiaohu and GALA, so they were naturally beaten without any power to fight back.
Until nightfall.
After Mu Chun finished dinner, Manager Wang called her away.
He knocked on the office door, then pushed it open and went in. "Manager Wang, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, you saw it, it's online." Manager Wang smiled and gestured for him to sit down.
Mu Chun sat down. He naturally knew what Manager Wang was referring to. He had seen it while eating. He couldn't help but admire the fighting power of IG fans.
"I saw it, but what impact will it have?"
I can't possibly get scolded after failing a job interview at RNG, can I?
Then I really regret it; I went to RNG in my desperation back then.
Manager Wang smiled and adjusted his glasses. "It won't affect anything, but there's an opportunity that will generate some buzz. Do you want it?"
Is he going to sell me to RNG?
Mu Chun broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that this was the kind of thing a capitalist would do!
Manager Wang seemed to have seen through Mu Chun's thoughts and reassured her, "I'd rather promote you than sell to you."
After saying that, he paused to create suspense, "You know JiaQi, RNG's AD carry, right?"
Mu Chun nodded. "You know, his fans are very powerful, right?"
"He's not surnamed Ma. JiaQi's true fans still have brains."
"You actually know that? Then you must remember the Demacia Cup online tournament, where you were matched up against him and got a 0-8 score."
Mu Chun was speechless after hearing this. Actually, there was no need to help me recall these things anymore. I didn't really want to acknowledge the "e-sports Buddha" or anything like that.
Manager Wang then added, "RNG fans think JiaQi isn't good enough and that they should have kept you in the first place."
"Some of our more aggressive fans—I'm not even sure if they're real fans—think you're not even as good as JiaQi."
"So, I'll discuss it with RNG, and you two will play a solo match on one side."
"You've won. It's both revenge and a battle to prove yourself. You'll get a lot of traffic, your reputation will improve a bit, and you might even gain a few loyal fans."
"RNG can also make a little money from negative online traffic to cover some of their debts."
Mu Chun nodded. Winning was a certainty, but she was curious about what would happen if she lost. "What if I lose?"
Manager Wang smiled slyly, "If we lose, RNG will get the traffic, and JiaQi will fetch a good price."
As he spoke, he pointed at Mu Chun, "And you will also retire from this position, becoming the second fastest AD carry to retire in IG's history."
"Just so you know, the fastest one is IG wxz."
The benefits and costs of this bet are disproportionate; it's a solo match that risks his entire career. But he has a system, so he can't possibly lose to JiaQi.
Mu Chun nodded, then asked, "Does the coach agree?"
Manager Wang smiled dismissively, adjusting his glasses. "He'll agree."
After saying that, he gestured for Mu Chun to leave.
Mu Chun left the house somewhat dazed; it seemed like Manager Wang had been replaced today.
Then he shook his head, thinking how quickly capitalists could change their minds.
……
In the training group.
On Daeny's notebook, there was a record of Jayce appearing in Mu Chun's champion pool.
He looked at the list provided by Mafa: "None of these feel right. This JiaQi is too young and not suitable for rotation."
"Although Puff played for IG and is acquainted with TheShy and Rookie, he is too old, and his performance when the three of them were together was not good."
"Let's look for more, preferably players who are plug-and-play and can play consistently even without scrims."
After hearing the request, Mafa was completely stunned. Where am I supposed to find a player like this for you? Are you really planning to put Mu Chun on the bench?
But he didn't say anything, went back to his seat, and started working.
The door was pushed open, and the person who entered whispered a few words in Korean into Daeny's ear.
Daeny frowned as she listened, then relaxed and nodded in agreement.
Daeny immediately arranged the selection of the side for solo.
