There are no women in esports, friends!

Chapter 341 341. The Price of Fame

"Next! We will issue a professional player certificate to ZAI!"

An Zai stood up straight, like a primary school student who was "speaking under the national flag" on campus, with the red scarf fluttering in the wind.

"This is an honor and a responsibility! I hope ZAI can continue to work hard and win more glory for the competition area and the team!"

OK!Got it!Give it to me quickly!An then suppressed the urge to grab it, kept smiling, and nodded frequently to be taught.

"The career number of OD team player ZAI is——"

An Zai's heart was pounding.

"2"

More than two hundred, it's okay, it's much more forward than she imagined!

"2"

What is two or two?Not bad!It’s not [-]!

"2"

Two two two?
"2!"

"."||||
Leader. Leader, you don't stutter, right? ? ?Dazzled by a number? ? ? ?
Where did so many 2 come from! ! !How many 2 are there! ! ! !
The audience in the audience also looked at each other in blank dismay, waiting for the leader to say "I made a mistake", wondering whether they should applaud.

The leader of the award ceremony seemed to be aware of everyone's doubts, and repeated it in an emphatic tone:
"ZAI got number 2222!"

"puff!!!!"

The first person who couldn't hold back his laughter came from the OD team area.Immediately, laughter spread like a plague. In the last bit of belief in maintaining the image in front of the camera, everyone pinched each other's thighs, tried to keep their mouths shut, and tried not to laugh out their back molars.

For a moment, the seats under the stage seemed to start trembling mode collectively, and An saw their cramp noses and bouncing bodies even on the stage.

The leader of the award ceremony ignored everyone's painful patience and explained:
"Although we don't have a thousand professional players yet, in view of the outstanding performance and dazzling record of ZAI players this year, we decided to break the previous numbering system based on the chronological order of joining the LPL and award her this special honor."

In another mood, An Zai would think that this number is pretty good, coquettish and weird, with black humor and nervousness, it suits her quite well.Since she was born, she has been the second child in the family, so her parents named her "Zai", thus she has the ID of "ZAI".But now she's not in a funny mood.

All "specialization" is a target, and pushing her can only advance but not retreat.Finding a suitable opportunity to reveal one's identity and getting rid of the shackles of lies is the top priority.This opportunity has been delayed from the World Championships to the year-end celebration, and I still don't know how to speak at this time.

Everyone is full of expectations for her, and when others are in high spirits, isn't that putting yourself in an unwelcome situation?Ann is no longer a fool, she can't slap the official in the face at this time.

Just drag it on. Then drag it on. ZAI, known for his daring to fight and dare to fight, has turned into an ostrich at this time, obedient and worrying about gains and losses.

During the short vacation before the new season, Jian Hao arranged for the whole year-round OD team to take a cross-country trip.In the past, all the group trips were full of tasks and pressures. Only this time, I can let myself go and relax.

The sun, the beach, the sea breeze, the iced drink, the time spent limply on the bench cos salted fish is not so good.

At this time, other clubs in the country are busy with transfers, digging around, and building new buildings.With OD's "low price seeding" at the beginning of the season last year, "bad in the early stage" and "explosive in the late stage" in the front, the managers of the major clubs have been greatly inspired. They spend a little time on the rank rankings every day, looking forward to Can pick up another ZAI.

Jian Hao talked with An Zai about her current social status in a regular manner, and confessed frankly by the way, telling her that many people were planning to let OD transfer An Zai with real money.

An Zai was absent-minded, and listened to it with her left ear, and the stream flowed out of her right ear.In the end, without even looking at it, he signed the sand-filled new contract that Jian Hao threw over.

Jian Hao shook the contract, opened the collar of the beach shirt and held it against his chest:
"Don't take a good look at it, what if it is sold to you!"

"Who can you sell me to? Who do you dare to sell me to?"

"Hey~~ I can't sell you to anyone," Jian Hao clicked his lips: "But there is your new salary on it, don't you want to see it?"

It was about money, the money fanatic immediately pulled out the contract that belonged to her from under his buttocks, flipped through to the end, and counted zero with his eyes wide open.

Jian Hao clutched his chest tightly: "It's a deal! You can't raise the price even after you've signed it! Originally, if you act coquettishly with me, the team has the budget to add something to you~~ "

"A profiteer! A profiteer! A profiteer without profit!" An Zai beat her chest and stamped her feet.

Just kidding, OD didn't treat her badly.When joining the team, An Zai signed a life contract. In her situation, even if OD doesn't give her a raise, she has nowhere to shout.The price that Jian Hao gave her now has exceeded expectations by many times.Calculated in this way, her future study abroad fund will immediately overflow her small coffers!

Not only that, but once you return to China, you can start to completely transform your bedroom into an "otaku paradise".The large curved screen stands up! The LEDs are flashing!She wants to hold the figurine of the young lady and play disco together!It is not a global limited edition that is not allowed to be placed in a water-cooled chassis!

The corners of Jian Hao's mouth twitched when An Zai's great "straight man's dream" was heard: "Hehehe~~ I don't think you have been disguising a man for a year, but you have been disguising a man for more than ten years!"

"Uh, is that ZAI from OD? Can we take a photo together?"

A tentative greeting completely broke An Zai's dream of filling the room with rainbow lights.

"Ah." An Zai stood up awkwardly, coordinating with the camera lens of the mobile phone dully.

"You are really amazing! I like to watch your competition the most! Bring back more champions!" The enthusiasm of the fans was beyond words.

The encouragement from foreign beaches did not make Anzai feel happy. She stared blankly at the fans' backs, thinking that there might be this person's help in the ranks of angry fans about her dishes in the future.

Winning but not losing is always the nightmare of competitive events.She herself can't guarantee that she can become an eternal victorious general.

"It is said that there will be a meteor shower at night! Let's have some barbecue and wait together!" Xing Nan heard the wind from nowhere, and led the leader to make a fuss.

"Meteor?" An Zai seemed less interested, "Why are everyone so excited about the death of a star?"

She is just a star, how much she enjoys looking up when she hangs in the sky, and how much cold stare she receives when she turns into a shooting star and falls to the ground.

This hidden lingering gloom and pessimism has been with Anzai's entire career since Mart sent his pentakill.

She watched Mart transform from a god into a man, and was ridiculed on the Internet.After retiring, this generation of AD gods almost became An Zai's nightmare that he couldn't escape every time he was defeated.

In the new season, public opinion has never let An down again.

When victorious—

"Awesome! This is the Juggernaut who retired the world's number one AD after debut!"

When failing—

"E-sports idol made by mother fans! Do you really think that ZAI won the world championship? It's just because of Mart's injury! Despicable and sinister ZAI will always owe Mart a world championship!"

God YAN said that this is the only way for every professional player, and it is also the price of fame and fortune.

Ann reflected on it countless times late at night. Perhaps the smooth sailing for so many years made herself too fragile. She blamed herself why she couldn't ignore all criticism like others did.

A professional player can brag if he plays well, but is he not allowed to scold him if he plays well?How can there be so many good things in the world?

So the root of the problem is still in yourself.

The defeat of the MSI semi-finals in the second year of his career led to the outbreak of doubts about ZAI.The head iron style sent by the wind and waves against the wind completely drove ZAI into the abyss of public opinion.

I thought that after a year of experience, I already knew what big winds and waves are, but later I realized that the trough is a bottomless pit, there is no lowest but lower.

"Stand up again" is the last belief, close your eyes, take a deep breath, everything will come back.
