Duan Shiyu, the notorious tyrant of the MG team, finally met his match one day!

In a game, he got into a heated argument with a random support player. In the end, they both left each other with some harsh words.

"I'm the AD for MG. Come find me, you trash support."

"Just you wait, you lousy AD. I'll beat you for sure!"

Before the summer split began, MG recruited a top-ranked solo-queue player for the support position. She was a petite, sweet-looking girl with pale, glowing skin.

Duan Shiyu glanced at her and casually complimented her. "She's pretty cute."

He'd barely finished speaking when a voice came from the entrance: "Where's that lousy AD Duan Shiyu?"

Duan Shiyu: ?

The girl looked at him and sneered. "Your daddy may be late, but he's still here to beat you up."

Before Shi Di joined the team, Duan Shiyu's daily routine was eating, sleeping, gaming, and acting like the team's tyrant.

After Shi Di joined the team, Duan Shiyu's daily routine became: "Don't be mad."

Late at night in the practice room, the clatter of furious typing went on and on. Duan Shiyu felt a vein twitch at his temple.

Duan Shiyu: "Shi Di, calm down."

"I can't! I got matched against a duo while solo-queueing, and their AD was ridiculously good and beat me to a pulp. Their support even taunted me!"

"What did they say?"

"She said..." Shi Di softened her voice to imitate her. "Aww, see that? My boyfriend's helping me climb. Are you jealous, you single dog?"

Duan Shiyu: "? Fine, I'll help you climb."

After crushing the other team in a match, Shi Di was wiping down her mouse when Duan Shiyu suddenly leaned close, his breath brushing her face and making it tingle.

"So, is my skill good enough to be your boyfriend?"

Give Me a Heal

Big news in esports: HLD support player Bai Yue might be dating someone.

He's a famously good-natured, gentle, patient, fatherly presence in the LPL.

The whole internet is searching for the answer: Who has he fallen for? The sweet new commentator, or that refined and gentle host?

It definitely can't be the unconventional AD Yu Yihan, who swears up a storm on stream every day and has no manners at all in competition.

When you look at Yu Yihan and Bai Yue, it seems obvious that Bai Yue is just following the rules of professional conduct and soothing his bad-tempered teammate.

But even as a teammate, Yu Yihan's livestream was still flooded with viewers.

She looked at the stream of gossip in the chat and turned to ask the person in question, "Are you dating someone?"

Bai Yue answered patiently and gently, "No. It's all speculation."

Yu Yihan told her viewers, "You can stop wondering. He says he's not dating anyone."

But the internet wouldn't let it go. They kept digging, and finally, one late night, they found Bai Yue's secret account on Weibo.

The more they dug through it, the more they found.

Before Yu Yihan joined HLD, his posts were always like this:

[Yeah, I played pretty average today. I missed an important ability. Need to reflect on that.]

[Maybe I should retire. Should I tell my fans in advance?]

[They'd be sad, wouldn't they?]

Every post was full of self-reflection. He never lost his temper, and was so gentle that people were moved to tears, lamenting how hard his professional career had been.

But after Yu Yihan joined HLD...

[I don't want to leave. I want to keep playing for a few more years. ^ ^ I love giving her a heal and seeing her turn around to high-five me.]

[Why does RY's support keep asking my AD to duo with him? Doesn't he have an AD of his own?]

[I really want to twist his hand off, but I can't.]

[I played a solo match against him today and won ten games. He asked what my problem was. I told him not to duo with her. She's tired.]

[Yeah, it's all speculation.]

[Not the internet's speculation, though. Mine.]

[When is she going to date me? When is she going to date me? When is she going to date me?]
