During the KPL Grand Finals, WYT 2:3 FB appeared on the big screen, causing an uproar among the crowd. Of course, the comments were all unkind, like:
“When did WYT get this bad? Especially that jungler, Qiyuan. He's throwing away every advantage. Even I could play better than him.”
In the end, FB won 4:2 and made it into Group S. Some people were happy, others disappointed. The day after the match, these topics trended on Weibo: #QiyuanIntentionallyThrowing, #WYTMatchFixing, #WYTThrowingOnPurpose, #WYTDisband, #QiyuanGetOutOfWYT
Qiyuan looked at the trending topics on Weibo without showing any expression, tossed his phone aside, and started playing ranked. Coach Xy shook his head and told him, “Don't keep practicing heroes you can't play. Practice the ones you're familiar with.”
He was given the official title of Lanling King with a 100% win rate. Later, in the playoffs, even the Lanling King with a 100% win rate was defeated, losing to the team nobody believed in. A wave of abuse followed, with people accusing him of match-fixing. He sat alone in the training room, with Yun Cheng by his side. How could she not know how brutal esports could be?
His world was shrouded in darkness, and he became much more dispirited. Yun Cheng mocked him: “You can't handle even this little setback? Do you think you deserve the position you're in? You're a pro player. You can't just give up whenever you feel like it.”
