Chapter 1: Everyone else is faking the game, but you are the only one who is not faking the game?
Parallel world.
"Light, have you ever faked a match?"
In the RNG club meeting room, the atmosphere was as solemn as iron.
Several eyes fell on Mingrui, eager to see through, as if they wanted to see through the darkest secret deep in his heart.
"Boss, manager, coach, how many times have I told you, I really didn't fake the game!"
"Their LSPL players are fixing matches. Do they have anything to do with me?!"
Mingrui looked at these questioning eyes, his heart was filled with despair and he felt cold.
Since joining the RNG second team in 2016 and becoming a professional player in the LSPL, he has been practicing diligently and working hard for a year, in order to one day be promoted to the LPL, and then work with RNG to win The first S competition champion affiliated to LPL!
And Mingrui did succeed. With his unique skills as a leopard girl, he successfully gained the appreciation of the RNG manager at the end of 2016, and promoted himself to the RNG first team, becoming the substitute jungler of Mala Xiangguo.
He even got a chance to play in the middle of the spring regular season, and then soared, leading the team to an impressive record of 10 consecutive victories!
But at this moment, the incident happened.
LPL officials suddenly discovered that an LSPL player participated in match-fixing in the 2016 game!
Match-fixing, let alone e-sports, is 100% tolerated in any sport!
Therefore, taking this opportunity, LPL officials launched a thorough investigation of the entire LSPL. At the same time, in order to avoid unexpected situations, the RNG team also put the popular Light player back on the bench, waiting for the results of the investigation to be released.
You won’t know the result if you don’t check it, but you will be shocked if you check it!
In the LSPL league last year, as many as a dozen teams and dozens of players participated in fake matches!
Therefore, the Light player of the RNG team has naturally become the focus of the entire LPL, because his various behaviors in the LSPL all meet the definition of "match-fixing"!
For example, Leopard Girl was banned and retired on the spot.
For example, when using Kindred, he inexplicably fires up his weapon on the spot, and even uses his golden body in the middle of his ultimate move.
For example, when fighting for the baron with an opponent's jungler, he suddenly presses the S key and starts twitching until the opponent snatches the baron away...
Faced with countless doubts and abuses, Mingrui had no choice but to take the initiative to reveal some evidence that could prove that he did not fake the match.
First, someone did contact me last year about match-fixing and offered a high price, but Mingrui refused forcefully and was even suspended for several games by the team coach.
Second, although he is very strong, he is limited to a few unique heroes. It is very normal for Leopard Spider to retire on the spot after being banned.
Third, the various confusing behaviors on the field are closely related to his state at the time, and even the top junglers in the LPL will make mistakes, so some of his mistakes are very normal.
But such evidence is pale and feeble to the majority of LPL viewers who hate match-fixing.
Fortunately, the LPL quickly issued an official statement announcing the final penalty announcement.
And in this list of banned players, coaches, and even team managers, there is indeed no such thing as Mingrui, the ID of "light"!
So even if the truth is revealed and the injustice is avenged?
Not only that, but netizens’ doubts about Light have intensified!
"So many people in the LSPL have faked the match, but there is no such thing as Light. Do you believe it? I don't believe it!"
"Only the lotus can emerge from the mud without being stained. What kind of thing is this light!"
"As long as you have watched Light's games in the LSPL, you will know how brilliant he is in winning games and how outrageous he is in losing games."
"There is no fake match for such a big gap, I don't believe it!"
"I implore RNG to conduct a thorough team investigation on Light. I don't believe he didn't fake the match!"
"What a thorough investigation? This Light is definitely a fake match. If RNG still dares to let Light play and let MLXG substitute, I will never watch the RNG fake match again!"
For a time, it was believed that Light was definitely involved in match-fixing, but was not found out by the authorities for some reason.
In such a brutal public opinion environment, it is very difficult for the RNG team to be caught in the middle. After all, Mala Xiangguo's recent form is not very good, but Light is in the spotlight. Whether he can make it to the spring playoffs, or even help Uzi win his first championship, Light's performance is very important.
But RNG is very clear that if they really dare to continue to let Light continue to play, their already unfavorable public opinion environment may add a "fake team" in addition to the "contract team" and "retrospective team" name.
So when Mala Xiangguo came on as a substitute but lost several games in a row, RNG management decided to officially launch an internal review of the Light player.
Then, the scene at the beginning appeared.
"Others' match-fixing has nothing to do with you."
"But we are still very surprised, why are so many people cheating, but you are not?"
“Either the evidence of match-fixing was well hidden and has not been discovered for the time being, or you actually faked the match but did not receive any money.”
"Light, tell us the truth. As long as you surrender, RNG can save you."
"The maximum ban is a few months. After a few months, the king returns, and we are just in time to hit the S7 World Championship!"
The RNG management looked directly at Mingrui and asked, eager to get the result they wanted.
Listening to their aggressive tone and looking at their hateful eyes, Mingrui's face suddenly showed a trace of calm relief, and then he raised the corner of his mouth and let out a sneer.
Is this called an internal review?
This is an internal interrogation!
Obviously he did not fake the match, but the management just wanted to force him to admit that he had faked the match in order to appease and calm the anger of the fans!
But who can he turn to to appease the anger in his heart? !
"I, Light, Mingrui, don't have any match-fixing!"
Mingrui glared at the management and gritted his teeth.
Force yourself to admit something you haven't done before? Absolutely impossible!
"..."
The next moment, the conference room fell into silence again.
The managers looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
After a long time, the RNG manager finally sighed and spoke slowly.
"Light, let's just believe you didn't fake the match."
"But you have also seen the recent public opinion situation. Except for us, no one wants to believe that you did not fix the match."
"If you are allowed to continue playing, the reputation of the RNG team will be significantly negatively affected."
"So for various reasons..."
"RNG has decided to officially terminate your contract."
"I hope you can understand."
"And understand."
