Chapter 27: I will do my best to prove myself, thanks for the support (post this three minutes later)
There was an earthquake in the esports circle.
The esports fans were all collectively stupefied for ten seconds. Every person who saw the announcement went through the same sequence of events: "screenshot" — "click on TTC ་ Soft to confirm it was that bluenette" — "click on TTC Esports Club to confirm it was the official Weibo" — "and then freaking repeatedly click on them, unwilling to give up" — "accept reality" — "reply with question marks under the aforementioned Weibo."
In less than ten minutes, TTC's official announcement reached six thousand comments. The top comments in the first five pages were all question marks, and the commenters were all real, active Weibo accounts too. The entertainment circle's gasped in amazement and pure astonishment.
Meanwhile, underneath the LPL's penalty post—
[Dumbass, you're worthy of being you.]
[Dumbass, you're worthy of being you.]
...
No Weibo post before had ever caused everyone's responses to be so uniform, not even when idol fans controlled the comments.
Not long after, "TTC ་ Soft" reposted TTC's official announcement.
[TTC ་ Soft: I will do my best to prove myself, thanks for the support (post this three minutes later) //TTC Esports Club: Welcome new member...]
All the spectators: "..."
This Weibo post was edited very quickly.
[TTC ་ Soft: Thank you for all the support! After joining the team, I'll definitely practice hard. I won't let down the fans' and club's expectations [heart].]
Since the official post had been drowned out by question marks, all the fans came over to report to Jian Rong's Weibo after recovering.
[You're really such a damn unfilial son. Dad just argued for a day and a night with those moronic TTC fans under Kan's matchfixing Weibo, but now it turns out you fucking voluntarily went to be a hostage???]
[One 'dumbass, get lost' is yuan? You must be working part-time for the Discipline Committee, right??]
[Congrats in advance to the LPL's Discipline Committee getting rich.]
[Did you drug Tank Team's management? Even someone like you deserves to play competitively??]
[The one who said my son isn't deserving, I've already sent the compilation of Soft solo killing Kan in high ranked games to your PMs, please check that you've received it~! XOXO!]
[I think that Soft is a very outstanding player, I'm really looking forward to his performance in TTC (a paid commenter)]
[Feeling sympathetic for TTC fans now.]
[That's not really necessary, if he can enter the team he must have some skill. TTC's boss has always had good foresight. Back then, didn't the boss also spot Road and pull him straight into the starting position? Original veteran Tank fans are already used to this.]
[Just an observation. Did TTC give up because they couldn't snatch my baby Savior? Recruiting even this kind of mid laner... is next year's top 4 gonna become top 16?]
With that comment, TTC's hardcore fans and Soft's livestream water friends, who had once argued with each other for a day and a night underneath Kan's suspension Weibo post, simultaneously appeared.
[PUD fans, have some face. Do you all not know about the incident two years ago when my son won three consecutive games against Savior on the Korean server and easily took 48 points from him? Two years later, your baby Savior shouldn't be as trash anymore right??]
