In the TPL League's three consecutive grand finals, the matchup everyone cares about is always Chen Yi's YS versus Wei Baichuan's LY.
Chen Yi's defense is incredibly tight. For two years in a row, he stopped Wei Baichuan's fierce attacks in the finals. As a duelist, Wei Baichuan lost to him in both grand finals.
At an in-person event, the host invited them to shake hands, but Chen Yi turned aside and walked straight past him. "No need for formalities. Shake my hand after you've beaten me."
The clip quickly spread across the internet, and the two were labeled as sworn rivals. Their fans kept going at each other, but then news suddenly broke that Chen Yi was leaving his team of his own accord due to internal problems.
That very day, LY followed up with a trending announcement: Chen Yi had decided to join LY!
At the press conference, a reporter asked Wei Baichuan what he thought about "sworn rivals becoming teammates."
Wei Baichuan pretended to be calm and nonchalant, though the veins in his temples were actually throbbing. "I used to want to break through his defense. Now we're on the same team, so how is that not a kind of breakthrough...?"
In their first publicly broadcast scrimmage, their coordination dazzled everyone. They didn't look like sworn rivals at all, but more like teammates who had been playing together for years.
Fans exclaimed: Are those two really enemies? Why do they look like a couple?
But the truth was that when they first started trying to work together, their coordination was awful. They lost nine out of ten matches.
Manager: "You two are staying together every minute of every day. Work on your coordination and your play! We can talk again when your teamwork is flawless."
From then on, heated arguments could always be heard from the practice room late at night. "I have my own ideas! Stop trying to control me!"
Chen Yi calmly reminded him: "Move toward point B. The route you chose won't work. You won't be able to retreat."
Wei Baichuan ignored him. After winning an impossible one-versus-three, he gave him a taunting look. "I told you my route would work."
Chen Yi: "...It's hard for me to keep up with your playstyle."
Wei Baichuan frowned impatiently. "Tsk. Who's the captain here? Who's supposed to coordinate with whom?"
With the match approaching, their former team suddenly announced that Chen Yi had been fired because of disagreements over strategy. The internet was instantly flooded with haters, and LY planned to hold off on responding to the public backlash.
But Wei Baichuan directly posted on Weibo in support of Chen Yi, cursing out the haters so thoroughly that for a moment, no one could tell who the real haters were.
When Chen Yi heard about it, he came over to talk him down. "Calm down. Don't fight the public backlash because of me."
Wei Baichuan: "I can do what I want. What's it to you?"
