Shi Luo was dazed, staying rooted on the spot.
Shi Luo remembered that Yu Sui had said that the account he was using now was registered when he was fifteen. At that time, he was still a minor and he had used his fathers identity information to register. After that, it had accompanied Yu Sui as he campaigned across the country for so many years.
Countless out-of-print titles and skins were linked with that account. It was the account that Yu Sui has won numerous awards with...
Shi Luo wasnt afraid to fight, nor did he feel that his team would definitely lose to Sacred Sword but instinctively he still said, You cant play with that account like this! That is...
Shhh...
Yu Sui, who was standing at the front, turned his head and gave Shi Luo a shush gesture.
Yu Sui smiled at Shi Luo, eyes flashing.
The voice of the host performing the rehearsal was too loud and there were so many people between Yu Sui and Shi Luo that Shi Luo couldnt hear when Yu Sui spoke.
But Shi Luo could read Yu Suis lips.
Yu Sui said: Watch, as, ge, vents, anger, on, your, behalf.
Shi Luos throat was instantly choked up.
In a daze, Shi Luo felt that he was seeing the short-haired Yu Sui from three years ago.
Shi Luo had been the one who taught Yu Sui about this account-deleting wagers back when he was still an anchor working out of some shady internet caf.
Yu Sui had already been a professional player who had been in service for several years. He didnt understand this kind of thing very well. Yu Sui knew more than anyone how important an account was to a professional player.
Yu Sui had also said at the time that it was a bit too excessive.
There was no grudge that was worth betting your account for.
Yu Sui had taken Shi Luos hand and led him onto this career path.
He taught him the professional players code of conduct and later, even when the person who had brought him into his industry was no longer around, Shi Luo still followed in Whispers footsteps, not straying a single inch from that path.
As a professional player, he never played such a wild game ever again.
But Yu Sui himself made an exception now.
Three years have passed and Shi Luo was not the only one being influenced by the other.
Yu Sui stood in the backstage corridor, looking at the lights in the distance. He smiled.
The first time Yu Sui found out about account-deleting wagers, he thought here was nothing and no one who could possible be worth him going this far.
After, he experienced all kinds of things. He had weathered all sorts of storms and waves and Yu Sui still thought at the time that there was nothing that would make him wager this because of a momentary loss of temper.
But now, there was.
After so many years of competing, so many times entering the World Championships, he should already be unbothered by these, he should be indifferent. But suddenly there was now the excitement and bravery like he was entering the World Championships for the first time.
Yu Sui originally just wanted to win.
But now he wanted to step on the opponents face and win.
The one that made his opponents delete their accounts after their match kind of win.
After the rehearsal, Zhou Huo immediately documented what happened at the venue on the day of the rehearsal. Domestically, he posted it on Weibo. Internationally, he posted it on Twitter.
The head of the Chinese Division immediately contacted the organizers of this years World Championship to give them a warning.
However, there was no way to hold Sacred Sword accountable for the fans behavior. The league officials were also dissatisfied with Sacred Swords series of disruptive behavior.
However, Sacred Sword was too shrewd at playing dirty and they always barely toed the line and did not actually commit any substantive violations. Only the organizers of the competition bore the responsibility and was given a warning and fined.

You... Zhou Huo clasped the stand railings tightly. He said with difficulty, Youve all said that youre villains so dont cry. The match is about to start soon. Itll be embarrassing if someone sees you crying, really......
Zhou Huo bowed his head, tears winding down his face, choked and speechless.
When he posted on Weibo yesterday, Zhou Huos heart went through twists and turns.
He was worried that the sprayers would take this opportunity to attack the club; that Yu Suis haters would throw stones when he was down and that the fans would not understand how much pressure these players had been bearing this past year and that even at this time, Whisper would still be accused of being immature.
When the team was first formed less than a year ago, the entire club was sprayed black and blue by the sprayers.
Zhou Huo had been watching everyone this past year. The first post on the clubs official account was posted by Zhou Huo.
It was still vivid in Zhou Huos mind how offensive the words the sprayers had used.
The four players always said that it didnt matter. Their calm tone too as they said it was vivid in Zhou Huos mind.
But arent they human beings too? Young people in their twenties? Who could really be totally indifferent and like to be greeted by the sprayers all day?
They clearly did nothing wrong.
Clearly nothing wrong.
Later, the misunderstanding was solved and Free had a lot of good reviews. But whenever there was any sign of trouble, they would still be bombarded by the sprayers.
Over time, Zhou Huo, Old Qiao and the rest of the club had assimilated to the culture created by the players and gradually got used to it.
In E-sports, isnt it normal to be sprayed?
But occasionally, he still wanted to say some heartfelt words on their behalf. He wanted them to have something they could rely on having their back when they went into battle.
Before he made the statement yesterday, Zhou Huo actually wanted to tell Yu Sui that, I know youre protecting the players and your fans in the competition, but others might not appreciate it.
Zhou Huo was now very glad he didnt stop it.
Before entering the backstage, the players turned their heads instinctively without being reminded by anyone.
For too long, too long, too long, they havent seen this kind of scene a stadium full of lights that belonged to them. Even if they had been on the battlefield for so long, they still werent used to it.
The sweat and tears shed when no one was around, the unutterable feeling of being filled with hot-bloodedness, three years later...
The bystanders nevertheless still felt it.
