You’re Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 182 (2)

Soon after Lu Sicheng and the rest of the team left the room, the video of the pre-game trash talk began to play on the screen. Tong Yao felt a little uneasy watching this segment backstage together with the players from another team…… By the time she found out that the clash between the two teams this time was worse than against OP, she was somewhat regretful that she hadn’t excused herself to go to the bathroom earlier– —

[TOP group]

TAT, Sasali: During the skirmishes we had against ZGDX in the past, we won more rounds than we lost. You may think it was because our mid, Mintai, is too strong and their mid couldn’t fight back. But in reality, I’ve always thought their top was the weakest link in their team…… He only knows Rumble, what else? If we ban his Rumble, then he doesn’t know how to play anything else.

ZGDX, Cat (bent over, smiling): Is that what he said? He said I only know Rumble? I’m the weakest link? Very well, today I’ll let him witness what’s called a “champion sea” and what a “weakest link” really looks like.

……

Ai Jia: “If they were recording this video face to face, they probably would have started punching each other.”

Tong Yao: “If it isn’t supposed to be civilized and courteous…… all we have heard probably would be Old Cat cursing.”

Jinyang: “Watch out. It was just the players at top but you, the mid, also became collateral damage.”

Tong Yao: “……”

[JUG group]

TAT, Yo: LPL? A fake LCK. They’ve been constantly learning our strategies which might be very useful inside the LPL, but they would never beat the LCK.

ZGDX, K: Then how did we beat OP? Take you…… oh right, I can’t curse…… I can only say that their trip to the world competition will be as short as their short-sightedness.

……

Behind Tong Yao, Pope changed his sitting position when Yo said “fake LCK”. Liangsheng was trembling with laughter while hanging onto Pope’s shoulder: “Buddy, don’t feel guilty.”

Pope: “&*%#& (omitting the following 300 words)……”

Tong Yao: “What did he say?”

Liangsheng: “He said not all Koreans are like that. Under most circumstances they’re quite courteous. And he doesn’t feel that LPL is copying LCK’s strategy. The characteristics of the LPL are quite distinct……”

Tong Yao: “………………………….Look how we scare him.”

Liangsheng: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

[MID group]

Tong Yao and Lu Yue sat side by side.

ZGDX, Smiling: It’s like what I said before. Though I’ve been defeated, I know very clearly that Li Mintai is a hurdle which I have to overcome. There’s no way to avoid it and I won’t avoid it either.

ZGDX, Lu: Smiling only needs to stay put on the substitute seat and I’ll handle the victory.

ZGDX, Smiling (turned around to look at Lu Yue): We’re supposed to trash the other side, why are you targeting me?

TAT, Thei (pulled down his cap): I’ll make her cry again then she won’t be able to overcome this hurdle.

……

Tong Yao felt embarrassed having to spell out determination in front of everyone and covered her face with both her hands, refusing to say anything.

Jinyang kicked her: “I’m a little smitten.”

Tong Yao didn’t have any response but Ai Jia reacted quickly: “What are you smitten with?”

Jinyang: “The young lad.”

Ai Jia: “I’m one too! Why weren’t you smitten with me?”

Jinyang turned to give him a casual glance: “Three years ago, maybe.”
