Chapter 75 Lies Don't Hurt, the Truth is the Deadly Blade [Please Read On]

The announcement of Zhou Dian joining the team was met with a barrage of criticism.

Of course, it's basically only LGD fans who are complaining; fans of other teams won't even notice that LGD secretly brought in an unknown top laner.

LGD fans weren't really criticizing Zhou Dian; they were expressing more of their disappointment with the club's operations and management.

After all, just over a year ago, LGD was the LPL Summer Split champion.

The team has many well-known players, and the club has invested a lot in the past.

How did we fall so low?!

After fans had been clamoring for a top laner change for so long, the result was that the club brought in an unknown player to fool the fans.

The club is clearly cutting back on investment!
what does this mean?
It seems the club has really tanked!
In any competitive sport, including esports, most team fans can accept a team playing poorly.

But we cannot accept a team that is giving up and lacks fighting spirit.

As a result, Zhou Dian also received a lot of criticism.

LGD's fans certainly know that the new top laner is innocent, but in the process of venting their emotions, they basically criticize anything and everything.

Accidental injuries are inevitable.

This evening.

Dgc announced the starting lineup for tomorrow's match against RNG in the training room.

It was done in a very serious manner, but there was basically no suspense.

There might be a tiny bit of suspense regarding the top lane position!

As for the other four positions, there is only one person for each of them in the current LGD first team.

Dgc looked at Zhou Dian and said, "Zhou, you'll be the starting top laner for tomorrow's match against RNG!"

Zhou Dian nodded, his expression very calm.

He had expected this. The club spent a considerable amount of money to bring him here, so of course they had to use him and keep him around to have offspring!
Eimy, standing next to Zhou Dian, winked and said, "Brother Zhou, let's team up in the top and jungle tomorrow and crush RNG!"

"Tch! Eimy, you two got a winning streak in duo queue and you've got no sense of propriety, huh? Matches and ranked games are two completely different things!" GodV's slightly sarcastic voice drifted over.

Although Eimy has a good personality, she still gets very upset when someone teases her when she's in the mood, and she immediately retaliates without backing down.

"They are indeed two different things. Korean server Challenger and Korean server Diamond 1 are two different things!"

That statement is indeed quite damaging.

GodV, as a starting mid-laner for a legitimate LPL team, is still stuck in Diamond 1 in the Korean server more than a month after the new season started, which is a bit of a letdown!

The so-called lies will not hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife.

GodV was stabbed in the back by Eimy, but couldn't think of anything to refute it.

Just as GodV was about to unleash his ultimate weapon, "I'm an LPL champion, what championship do you have?", PYL suddenly coughed and said, "Alright, alright, what's the point of arguing about this? It's so boring!"

The old captain still had some face, and GodV and Eimy stopped talking.

So Dgc said, "That's all. Go train. There's a match tomorrow afternoon. Go to bed early tonight and don't play too late!"

After saying that, he turned and left the training room to find the analysts to study RNG together.

Although the Frenchman was mentally prepared for being replaced in the starting lineup, he was still somewhat disappointed when the coach announced the news.

After Camille's first global defeat, the mid laner was relegated to the bench, with Jinoo taking his place as the starting top laner.

However, since Jinoo's performance was also unsatisfactory, he returned to the starting lineup after only one game as a substitute.

But this time, the King had a feeling that he might be stuck on the bench the whole time.

My roommate probably won't give me a chance to return to the starting lineup!

However, the Dharma King did not blame Zhou Dian; in a fair competition, he was simply less skilled than others.

As roommates who share a dorm room, although it has only been two or three days, the two of us have gotten along quite well.

The Dharma King was simply unwilling to accept defeat. Which young professional player hasn't dreamed of dominating the stage and making a name for themselves?

However, only a very small number of them can succeed.

Most contestants end up leaving the stage in disappointment.

That night, Zhou Dian was the first to leave the training room, followed by PYL.

imp was the last to leave the training room; it was already past 5 a.m. when he left.

Friday.

The schedule for the third week of the 17 LPL Spring Split regular season continues.

This morning, LGD's official Weibo account announced the starting lineup for their afternoon match against RNG.

Normally, posting a blog announcing the starting lineup is just a routine matter, because most teams have a relatively stable starting five.

Even if you don't announce it, the fans already know who will be performing today.

Therefore, these kinds of blog posts usually don't have many comments.

Moreover, most of the comments were encouraging words like "Keep it up" and "Play well today."

However, under the post on LGD's official Weibo account announcing the starting lineup, LGD fans started cursing in the comments section again.

The problem lies in one line of the starting lineup—starting top laner: Zhou
[Oh wow, I knew it! Today's starting top laner is this rookie!]

Alright, four consecutive losses. I wonder when LGD will get their first win of the Spring Split!

[I can only say, not today!]

[RNG has won two straight games, and they seem to be in pretty good form lately. Why did you send in a rookie?]

[Still don't understand? Just here to take the blame!]

[Okay, so they knew they were going to face a tough opponent, and they specifically signed a new player to take the blame, huh? This club has no shame!]

[Starting him right after he arrived! The head coach is really bold!]

[Oh, right, today is also head coach Dgc's first official match as a coach!]

All I can say is that head coach Dgc is trash too, someone even OMG doesn't want!

[OMG: What do you mean by "I don't even want OMG"? Watch your wording!]

【.】

LGD fans, who are usually optimistic, are really not optimistic this time.

Zhou Dian, once again, suffered an undeserved calamity, getting shot even while lying down.

Although most of the comments were criticizing the club, Zhou Dian was also labeled as "bad" and "scapegoat".

In the afternoon.

After warming up briefly in the training room, the LGD team boarded the bus to the LPL match venue.

The atmosphere in the car was quite quiet.

imp was resting with his eyes closed, PYL was listening to music with headphones on, and everyone else was scrolling through their phones.

On the road.

Eimy, who was sitting next to Zhou Dian, suddenly nudged him with her elbow.

"Hey, you have to crush Letme in the match later. Just pick Fiora and beat him to a pulp. I'll protect you!" Eimy looked very angry.

"What's wrong, Dan? Do you have a grudge against Letme?" Zhou Dian didn't quite understand why Eimy suddenly said such a thing.

"No way!" Eimy held up her phone in front of Zhou Dian. "All these idiots on Weibo are saying you came on today to take the blame, and it makes me a little angry!"
