The stats analyzer smiled. “Nope.”
The atmosphere eased up slightly.
Ji Zhiyao felt as if something was stuck in his throat, he wanted to speak but just could not... He tried for a long time, before he found his voice, low and hoarse together with his forced smile. “I’m doomed, I would have to work like a horse for all of you in the future.”
Nuo teased. “That’s not necessary for you, I’m actually looking forward to Captain slaving for me.”
Mo Huaifeng glanced at him and suddenly smiled.
Nuo was terrified. “What the f*ck? Captain smiled at me, it’s not the “you’re dead I’m killing you” kind of evil smile when I steal his buff but a friendly smile, oh mummy I’m so scared!”
Mo Huaifeng paused for a moment and said, “Sorry.”
Everyone was stunned.
Heng’s reaction was the fastest, he pulled out his phone right away. “Captain repeat yourself! Damn, Mix battleteam’s Captain, Fi-god actually apologized openly. Virtually echoes the saying, the longer you live, the more things you see, I will feel terrible all over if I don’t have this on video!”
“You asking for a beating?”
Heng instantly straightened up, not forgetting to be cheeky at the same time. “This tone sounds more familiar.”
Mo Huaifeng glanced resignedly at him, then brought out his phone, dialled a number and left it on speaker on the table.
With the exception of Yuan Wei who caught sight of the number and knew that this was a call to Mix club’s current general manager, everyone else was very confused.
The call was picked up very quickly, the general manager’s exasperated voice came through the receiver. “You trash you’re still calling me? Ahhhhh you’re pissing me off! China eSports Association’s person-in-charge just called me to ask what was going on, our Weibo account is also blowing up and you have the nerve to contact me now?!”
“Are they paying you or am I paying you?”
The general manager instantly went quiet. “You.”
“What’s the association’s stance?”
The general manager started to talk. “They were just continuously telling me useless things, anyway they just mean to say that since we’ve already gone out of line, it’s not too much of them if they give our spot away.”
Mo Huaifeng frowned. “Just take the video of our match back then and the agreement from the eSports Association and go to their main office to talk. If they are still persisting in their decision, we’ll see them in court.”
“It’s not too good to be so unyielding. Brother, although you fear nothing and no one, you must also know, if the China eSports Association strikes us off their list, we won’t be considered as a Chinese battleteam anymore. No matter how well we place at the international league, it will be useless.”
Everyone in the living room stared at each other.
They had to admit, there was nothing wrong with what the general manager said.
But their final goal was to put Chinese eSports on the international stage.
If their team was not even considered one of China’s, wouldn’t it be a joke?
Mo Huaifeng calmed down. “Negotiate with them first. If nothing goes well, you must ensure that they retain our right to fight for the spot ourselves.”
“Alright, don’t worry, no problem. I definitely can do that.”
“Find the very first blogger who posted the photos on IG, send a lawyer’s letter.”
“Huh?”
“It’s an invasion of privacy. He ought to be punished.”
The general manager “tsk-ed” twice. “You’re obviously taking personal revenge-”
Before he finished speaking, Mo Huaifeng hung up. Then explained expressionlessly, “He’s too noisy.”
The others wore awkward yet polite smiles. “Yes, yes.”
Mo Huaifeng frowned. “Our schedule after this remains unchanged, let’s first focus on training. And once again, I’m sorry.”
“Alright alright, let’s all not say these useless things yeah.” Yuan Wei waved his hands. “Apologizing here and there, are we ever going to be done? Kids, remove Weibo and Tieba from your phones for now, all those bored haters online are waiting to catch you guys online, don’t let them affect your mood to train.”
Everyone agreed and very obediently took out their phones, then uninstalled those two hindering apps... Only Ji Zhiyao, before he did so, his fingers twitched, wanting to open the apps and see exactly what people were saying about him Captain. Yet just as he moved, Mo Huaifeng caught sight, reached out and took his phone away.
“Don’t look.”
Ji Zhiyao found it slightly hard to hold back. “I’ll just take one look, don’t worry it definitely won’t affect me.”
“Be good, don’t look.”
Ji Zhiyao shut up obediently.
Then nodded his head.
...
As the news of “Heroes National Qualifiers champion battleteam’s Captain and jungler reserve are gay and are a couple” set off a huge stir locally, the entire Mix battleteam was overseas for training and managed to evade public opinion.
And, in their own way, dealt the watching crowd a blow.
Mix club sent lawyer’s letters and sued the blogger who was the first to post the photos and the subsequent marketing accounts who were the most active in reposting the news.
Not one lawsuit was lost.
And, on the day after they won the lawsuits, their official account updated with such a post.
[Mix Battleteam OfficialV:
To all the fans who have been concerned with and caring for Mix battleteam:
Hello.
Firstly, we are very thankful for your concern towards the relationship between Captain Fi-god and jungler reserve Yao.
Mix club, as the headquarters of Mix Battleteam, managing their daily work on their behalf, has always placed Mix battleteam’s competition results and contribution to Chinese eSports at the top priority. And a matter for rejoicing is that regarding this, Mix battleteam has never let the club and local fans down. So much so that Mix battleteam clinched China’s first spot into the international league, our Captain has also placed 3rd on the international ranks, an unprecedented achievement in China.
For that, we are very honored.
At the same time, we must also express that without the halo, Mix battleteam is merely a regular Chinese eSports battleteam. Everyone in the team is still young, they each have their own lives, they dedicate most of their time to eSports and do so without a murmur.
They are public figures, only because of their career.
As such, the club believes that, the club also does not have any right to interfere with the life that members have chosen for themselves.
We hope every fan can be clear on what is most important for an eSports battleteam.
It’s results.
As long as the results are good and he is a professional player who has not violated professional ethics and basic principles as a human, he is worthy of being liked.
Mix battleteam has always upheld this as our criterion and will continue to do in the future.
We sincerely advise all the fans, don’t let your love become a restraint.
From all the members of Mix battleteam.]
Once this post was put up, the official account disabled the comments section and ignored all the comments from others online.
Lots of people were all cursing that Mix’s official account had already been controlled by Mo Huaifeng and Ji Zhiyao, they are completely unable to express any useful opinions. There were all sorts of comments and each sounded more unpleasant than the previous. Yet the entire Mix team far away in Korea had already uninstalled all the apps that would allow them to have contact with the foolish netizens and couldn’t see anything, so they were totally unaffected.
