Chapter 47: The White Crescent Moon is ready to fight to the death!
Inside the Topsports lounge, everyone was cheering.
After Lin Jin and Jack returned, everyone gathered around them and applauded in celebration.
Guo Hao then hugged Lin Jin tightly, laughing loudly:
"Congratulations to Xiao Huo, three-time MVP!"
"Awesome, Huozi!" Dahuang shouted, leading the charge.
He understood that the center position in the team was about to change.
He needs to quickly curry favor with someone powerful.
If the relationship is handled better, there might be a better chance during the transfer window at the end of the year.
The staff also thoughtfully brought over a bouquet of flowers for Lin Jin.
Lin Jinqian chuckled twice, then handed the document to the coaching staff.
He told Coach Fang, "Everyone has worked hard. Winning the game isn't just my achievement; it's everyone's too."
These words deeply moved Coach Fang.
Coach Fang also praised Lin Jin highly, expressing his admiration and fondness for him.
Guo Hao waved his hand and announced that there would be a dinner party tonight, which garnered even more shouts.
They went to a hot pot restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal.
Since arriving in North America, I've been training every day, and my nerves have been constantly on edge.
They barely rested after the group stage ended before starting training for the knockout stage.
Now that we've made it to the semifinals, it's time to relax a bit.
They don't have any practice matches tomorrow; they need to head to Atlanta, the venue for the semifinals.
The semi-finals will be held here; it takes three to four hours to get there by plane.
So I can completely relax tonight.
Jack, Zuo Shou, Gao Tianliang, Mark, and Da Huang all continued to praise Lin Jin's performance in the competition, saying he was truly a center.
Gao Tianliang smiled more than he had in a whole year. He even took out his phone, took a group photo, and posted it on Weibo.
Lin Jin smiled and said, "Brother Tian, you've become much more cheerful!"
Everyone: "Haha..."
"It exploded, it exploded, it exploded!"
Gao Tianliang smiled and said, "I'm cheerful every day."
The meal went very well, and Guo Hao felt that the team atmosphere had become more cohesive.
However, at this moment, Guo Hao was getting a little annoyed by the several phone calls.
"Excuse me, I need to take this call. You guys enjoy your meal."
Guo Hao walked out of the private room with a smile.
Lin Jin took a group photo with his phone and posted it on Weibo.
Since Top Esports verified his Weibo account, he has only posted one or two posts and doesn't have many followers.
However, after entering the knockout stage, the LPL official also promoted his Weibo, which made him gain 200,000 followers overnight.
At this moment, a Weibo post quickly garnered numerous comments, likes, and reposts.
"We've secured a spot in the quarterfinals; we've successfully advanced to the semifinals! Thank you all for your support and encouragement, we'll continue to work hard!"
Comments sprouted up like mushrooms after rain.
"Wow! It's Huozi Ge alive!"
"Brother Huo is awesome! You're a true C!"
"What is Brother Huo eating? It looks delicious."
"Huozi, eat more. Only when the top laner gets fat can he carry the game."
"When we have a get-together, everyone's there, and it's awkward if anyone's missing, haha."
"The white crescent moon isn't there, is it? Okay, okay."
"Keep C in the semifinals, Huozi!"
"Next up is Zeus, play well!"
"Once you get past T1, you'll be the champions. I'm really looking forward to an all-Chinese team winning the championship."
"OMG, what RNG couldn't do, Top Esports will do!"
"What kind of roadside guys are these? What right do they have to compare with Top Esports?"
"Huozi is invincible! And he's only eighteen years old this year, haha, he'll dominate the LPL top lane for the next few years."
Lin Jin initially replied to each comment, but there were just too many, so he only selected a few to answer and thank.
Unexpectedly, netizens dubbed him "approachable," further boosting his popularity among the general public.
As the meal drew to a close, Guo Hao returned to the private room. His expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he quickly recovered.
Lin Jin asked with concern, "What's wrong, Brother Hao?"
Guo Hao: "It's nothing, just taking care of some company matters."
"Are you finished eating? Would you like some more?"
I'm full.
"OK, checkout, let's go."
Back at the hotel, there were no training sessions tonight, and the debriefing would have to wait until we got to the new venue.
Everyone wanted to go to bed early, but Lin Jin got itchy and played one ARAM game and two ranked games.
Netizens also discovered that Lin Jin had just finished his quarterfinal match, had a meal, and then immediately started playing ranked games.
There is a lot of discussion online:
"That's why I say Brother Huo is invincible."
"Someone more capable than you is far more hardworking than you. What are you going to do?"
"Haha, Huozi is really addicted, he's still playing ranked matches tonight."
"My teammates must be asleep already. Huozi is awesome."
"That's the key to success, brothers. There are no shortcuts to success; the only way is through continuous hard work."
"This has inspired me! I'll give it a thumbs up and go to the library to read!"
"Thumbs up, let's go get barbecue tonight."
"Huh? That reminds me, I haven't done today's tasks yet. I'll go open Quark."
“…………”
Lin Jin lay in bed, scrolling through his phone, laughing out loud at the comments from netizens.
The system increased his rescue value to seventy percent.
This also made him very happy, meaning that as long as they get past the semifinals, they will definitely reach 80%, thus completing the mission of saving the LPL.
In a great mood, he slept until 11 a.m.
After lunch, they packed their luggage, went to the entrance, took a bus to the airport, and headed to Atlanta.
Throughout the conversation, Guo Hao was wearing headphones and making phone calls, seemingly communicating about something.
Upon arriving at the airport, Guo Hao said to Lin Jin with an apologetic expression:
"The truth can't be kept hidden any longer; it will be exposed online."
"I hope you can stay calm and not worry about anything that happens. Just focus on the game itself."
Lin Jin thought for a moment and then understood what it was.
White Crescent Fish, having gone down the drain, intends to expose the matter first.
The official promise made earlier that the argument in the locker room would not be made public before Top Esports' World Championship journey ended was also for the sake of Riot Games' reputation in hosting the World Championship.
But White Crescent has already returned to China. He watched as Top Esports, with his head coach dismissed, directly defeated DK 3-0 and advanced to the semifinals.
I feel terrible.
This proves the saying: whoever is missing will feel awkward.
White Crescent is extremely unhappy and has been thinking about how to get revenge ever since she returned to China.
He first submitted his resignation to Topsports.
There is no father here, there is a place to keep the father!
They then contacted several marketing accounts to expose the matter.
When Lin Jin and his group boarded a plane to Atlanta, public opinion in China had already begun to ferment.
Even late at night, the level of popularity was incredibly high.
Netizens commented that staying up late has its advantages, as you get to be on the front lines of gossip!
"burst!"
"During the group stage, Top Esports' top laner Fire and head coach White Crescent got into a fight! It was a full-blown brawl!"
