A Broken Mirror Reunited In An E-Sports Ch 32

“Hahaha, VIT’s little assistant, Hui Mao, is so funny. He was actually fooled by the captain!”

In the footage, Hui Mao is embarrassed and covers his face, trying to avoid the camera. The atmosphere on the field is heated.

The host has completed his warm-up task, and all the remaining shots are naturally given to Xiao Yin, who has the highest attention on the field.

In the eyes of the League of Legends audience, Yin is a god. Whatever Yin says, it is the direction that the audience wants to focus on.

And now that Yin has taken the initiative to bring up Easy’s matter, it can be considered a divine collaboration!

Netizens are still urgently searching for old videos of Easy’s matches. Xiao Yin looks at the camera again and nods slightly.

In the footage, he looks calm and composed, with a clear and sharp light in his eyes.

Netizens exploded once again, frantically typing exclamation marks.

“Brother Yin is such a hidden hardcore fan!”

“I know! Is this the only mid-laner that VIT saw potential in? He really remembers even the matches from years ago! I can’t believe he’s not a hardcore fan.”

“Raise my hand, I’ve been a fan of Easy for four years. Even I’m shocked… you ask me who he played as a support, what lineup they had, I can remember clearly. But if you ask me the date, I really can’t say…”

“I understand now, this is just a normal relationship between mid-laners and junglers. I’m going to the live broadcast room to interrogate the mid-laners and junglers of the major teams.”

“I’ll give a shallow bow… even though I don’t even know what Easy looks like… but the entire VIT team really cares about him!”

“Hui Mao was fooled so badly, haha, it’s so funny.”

Rong Yi’s early assist videos were quickly dug up by netizens following Xiao Yin’s guidance, and the game footage of that year’s competition was found.

The timeline was three years ago.

At that time, the RS veteran team members had already restructured twice. With professional  esports players updating rapidly and frequent changes to the game seasons themselves, MVP players who had won championships domestically in the previous season could easily be replaced by more talented newcomers in the next.

No one wants the entire team to disband starting from scratch, but this industry is so cruel.

Rong Yi was the team captain in his first year and took on the responsibility of rebuilding the disbanded team alone in his third year, looking for people everywhere. He also switched from mid-laner to support to ensure the highest team profitability.

It was his first game as the new RS captain and his first game transitioning from mid-laner to support.

From the small key to the silver hook, Rong Yi was actually an all-around hero who could play any position and any hero.

However, later on, he gradually began to only play support heroes that provided team buffs in order to adapt to the RS operational system.

In the video, Rong Yi’s small key seemed to be the team’s second binding skill, with various extreme maneuvers that preserved and created infinite opportunities for the team.

“Oh my god, I just watched it, Easy was really at his peak for five years, what a genius!”

“His current maneuvers are even better than back then! He was already a world-class player five years ago! How long has he been delayed… I don’t quite understand why he had to play support when he was in RS. Did he decide that himself?”

“Brother Yin’s eyes are really sharp.”

Rong Yi was quietly sitting in the training room with his eyes closed, resting, unaware of what was happening outside.

In just half a night’s time during a match, everyone who was following the game had already heard of his ID. At the same time, the #Easy Yin# entry had also been sent to the top of the popularity rankings on overseas audience boards.

Global audiences began to hear about the incredibly skilled world-class mid-laner on Yin’s team.

A regular game usually ended in the afternoon after playing from noon, but because of the high attention this time, the league organizers also conducted interviews, which dragged the time out.

Xiao Yin, who had previously been dull and silent in the QILIN team, spoke a lot as the vice-captain, accompanied by his Hui Mao.

VIT didn’t have a training group, and even the coach’s part of the speech was done by him.

This could also be considered a rare occurrence, and netizens were all focused on listening.

It wasn’t until 7:30 in the afternoon that Xiao Yin left, and the event host began to tidy up the script. The live stream room’s popularity remained high, and working and student fans went home to watch the replay.

Everyone was discussing today’s game, discussing Yi Rong.

The voting page for the rising star was on the national  gaming and league homepage, and in just one night, the number of votes had tripled and was still increasing rapidly.

The league’s official voting channel was very cumbersome, and required personal authentication to log in and vote, so a large wave of non-fans directly hacked the data that Xiaoyun had worked hard to produce for RS fans and increased it by more than three times, which should never be caught up to.

RS had spent a lot on fan operations and publicity investments this quarter, and the race for the rising star had already invested a large sum of money, now making it a complete loss.

RS fans were already going crazy.

They had been so arrogant before, and now they were in pain from being slapped in the face.

Rong Yi was completely unaware of all of this.

He took a rest in the training room, knowing that the post-match process would be long and he probably wouldn’t be able to wait for it for a while. So, he took the Venomancer to the resting area to find some snacks and fruits to fill their stomachs.

There weren’t many people in the rest area in the league building. Usually, it was used by commentators to rest and recharge during halftime. The table was usually piled with things like instant noodles and energy bars.

The Venomancer was picky about his food. After eating a few pieces of biscuits, he said he wanted to go out and buy some snacks. The captain, Rong Yi, allowed him to go, and he himself opened a few energy bars to eat.

He was extremely tired and didn’t have much preference for food.

Being the captain was a consuming job, unrelated to anything else. It was just a habit he had always had.

His personality was different from the other VIT members. Most of them were inexperienced and had a fearless attitude, as they were raised to be able to fight and lose.

He was more reserved and had more thoughts. He let the Hui Mao and the Venomancer accumulate experience in practical battles against RS. This also meant that he had to shoulder more risks, responsibilities, and trial-and-error costs alone.

This was his way of leading the team.

Except for him, there were no substitutes for the RS team members, and he was the one who led them this way.

Both Lang Bai and Yao Cao were new players he had recruited from the youth training camp. They had never played in a real game before.

The information and details of the real competition were far beyond what they usually encountered. It was Rong Yi himself who led them to the starting lineup, to the national championship, and to face countless cyberbullying and fan insults, step by step, to make them stand on their own.

He had never thought about what he would get in return, because he believed that this was what a captain should do.

But if there was ever a thank you or acknowledgement of his hard work, he would be very happy.

Rong Yi was waiting for Ci She to come back with the snacks. As he waited, he felt drowsy and leaned on the sofa with his phone in his hand, and dozed off.

The staff who passed by recognized him but dared not say anything. They only turned off the lights around him, leaving only a small lamp on.

Perhaps because his mind was too active, Rong Yi finished a match in his dream, even with all the operational details.

But the time had jumped back a few years, to when he played his first game as the starting support.

He led RS to win the World Championship in his first year. At the end of the second year, the team underwent its first major restructuring, which was when he met Xiao Yin.

Three months later, Xiao Yin broke up with him, and he had just finished finding a replacement.

He didn’t have any time to distract himself with emotions during that period. His only impression of that time was exhaustion, with matches and training filling his waking and sleeping hours, and getting five hours of sleep a day was a miracle.

He didn’t have any particular thoughts about Xiao Yin.

He had always been a person who lived freely, not prone to being overly sentimental, but he did recall the day before going on stage when he found Xiao Yin’s long-lost profile picture.

He wanted to ask how things were going in the NA server. Was it tiring? Was the pressure still the same? Was he still having trouble getting along with his teammates?

Did he want him to keep him company and talk?

In reality, he just wanted someone to talk to.

At that time, Yin Shen had already begun to make a name for himself in the world competition arena. The domestic RO team had already disbanded, and in the domestic  esports circle, there was no longer any trace of Xiao Yin.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that he seemed to have become a one-way straight line. The people who used to intersect with him or were running parallel to him were getting farther and farther away.

On the other side, Xiao Yin finished his interview and returned to the training room with Hui Mao and Wu Dao Gu. They found that the two were missing, so Xiao Yin called Rong Yi.

Hui Mao and Wu Dao Gu looked at each other before saying, “No answer? I remember that the captain usually puts his phone on silent. He probably didn’t hear it.”

Xiao Yin then called Ci She’s phone, but he still didn’t answer. At this moment, Ci She was crossing a sea of people, using his ordinary plastic Mandarin to argue with a roadside vendor over the waiting time for five servings of spicy hot pot.

“Where did he go?” Wu Dao Gu furrowed his eyebrows. “He couldn’t have gone back first, but the captain should have told us.”

“You guys go back first, I’ll look for him.” Xiao Yin pondered for a moment before saying, “He’s probably buying food nearby. I’ll ask around.”

“I’ll go with you to look for the captain,” Hui Mao said.

This little child’s voice was hesitant and shy. He had just found out that Rong Yi’s words calling him a donkey were a joke, and he wasn’t angry at all. He just felt embarrassed and respectful.

He knew that Rong Yi had given him a shot in the arm.

Xiao Yin glanced at them and said, “Don’t we have a live broadcast task tonight? If we don’t go back now, we’ll breach the contract this month.”

Everyone in VIT had signed a live broadcast agreement with a required monthly duration. They were already busy with high-intensity training and often forgot about the live broadcast schedule. In addition, this month was the second round of regular matches, so they could only squeeze time to do the broadcast.

Today, they won the game and gained popularity, which was a good opportunity for live broadcasting.

Hui Mao and Wu Dao Gu looked at each other and suggested, “Why don’t we do a live broadcast to find the captain? We’re idle anyway, it can be considered as part of our team’s daily activities.”

Xiao Yin thought about it and didn’t object. He was about to speak, but this time he didn’t finish his sentence before Hui Mao interrupted him, “We promise not to scare the captain! We promise not to film him! We’ll only film things, not people!”

Wu Dao Gu also raised his finger and made an oath.

Nowadays, live streaming platforms are very advanced, and outdoor live broadcasts can also be automatically pixelated. They thought it wouldn’t be a problem.

Xiao Yin reminded them, “He’s not unable to appear on camera, he just has a fear of cameras. Don’t film him directly.”

“I know!” Hui Mao stuck his tongue out and challenged him, “I noticed it a long time ago. Even the captain covers his phone camera with a sticker, do you think I don’t know?”

Xiao Yin shrugged.

The three of them split up.

Wu Dao Gu and Hui Mao ran out, planning to find Ci She and Rong Yi, but they gave up after searching for a long time and turned to look for some night market stalls in the evening, hoping to bring back some gifts for Rong Yi.

Hui Mao walked around with the live streaming camera and even wanted to pick a gift for Rong Yi.

At this moment, the audience who had finished watching the game felt a little empty.

VIT is a new team, and this is their first match in Group A. They couldn’t even catch up on the previous games, and although the Group B games had replays, they weren’t very entertaining, and it wasn’t enough to showcase each member’s style and highlights.

Just then, VIT’s assistant, Hui Mao, suddenly started an internal team broadcast.

This little child had just turned eighteen this year and was still too shy to look at the camera during interviews. He only filmed the ground during the live broadcast and titled it “Searching for the missing captain with Brother Yin and Brother Gu, and buying gifts for the captain.”

Of course, the audience flocked in!

This was an opportunity to get materials from VIT and Easy!

On the other side, Wu Dao Gu also quietly started his broadcast, “Searching for the missing captain.”

The audience still didn’t understand what was going on, but they all flooded into the live stream room.
