FOG [e-sport]

Chapter 32

At the same time, in the IAC base, Shi Luo received a friend application.

Shi Luo opened it. It was NSN’s former deputy manager.

When Shi Luo first went to NSN, he and Zhou Huo were in the same club for only two short months. Later, Shi Luo transferred, and Zhou Huo went to another team not long after.

Zhou Huo explained his current situation to Shi Luo. Shi Luo then found out that he was to be his future team manager.

After exchanging a couple of polite words, Zhou Huo brought up the matter of the live broadcast to Shi Luo. After half a minute’s hesitation, Shi Luo replied to Zhou Huo.

Yu Sui was contacting the FOG China Division headquarters to retrieve the game account that had been cancelled back then. He opened the voice call with the headquarters employee and typed back a reply to Zhou Huo.

[Yu Sui]: [I refuse.]

[Shi Luo]: [No. ]

Zhou Huo: …

Zhou Huo could understand how Shi Luo as the perceived victim could still be nursing a grudge, but what he couldn’t understand was that not only did Yu Sui refuse, his reply came even faster than Shi Luo’s! Zhou Huo quickly replied back to Yu Sui.

[Zhou Huo]: [I don’t know just what it is that happened between you two, but the situation now is like this, your fans are absolutely hostile to each other and you two will soon be in a team. If we’re always going to be in this kind of deadlock, I won’t be able to progress my work.]

[Zhou Huo]: [The new team has just been established. As a manager, there’s a lot of work I need to do and a lot of that will require the fans’ cooperation. ]

Yu Sui replied quite happily: [If the fans won’t accept it and won’t cooperate, then let them. ]

[Zhou Huo]: […]

Zhou Huo had a lot of confidence in this team that he was about to take over. Even if they won’t be able to produce the best results, they will certainly be a mainstay in the first league. With all four players at this level, there was absolutely no need to doubt it.  But if he were to appraise the team’s style, Zhou Huo was quite sure that such a team of filled with such wicked people wouldn’t get anywhere good.

[Zhou Huo]: [Whisper, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you since years before. Aside from a championship trophy, there’s something else you can give to your fans. ]

[Yu Sui]: [I’m not giving them anything else.]

[Zhou Huo]: [I ask with only the best of intentions. But, Yu Shen, did you know that as early as two years ago, no, maybe even earlier than that, you’ve already earned yourself the nickname of ‘scumbag’? ]

It was only after he had completed the application and saved his account that Yu Sui took a look at his phone. Zhou Huo had already sent over several messages.

[Zhou Huo]: [Setting aside the fact that our chances of winning the championship this season isn’t all that great to begin with, are you saying we’re going to let the fans rip us a new one all the way from the qualifiers to the playoffs? That’s a huge pressure to put on the players. ]

[Zhou Huo]: [There aren’t a lot of people like you who are completely immune to negative remarks. Everyone cares about what fans say about them online. Evil and Chen Huo quarrel all the time with the sprayers. Obviously, they get affected easily.]

[Zhou Huo]: [My job isn’t to simply increase the number of fans. It’s also to give the players a relatively relaxed environment that comes from enjoying a relatively favorable public opinion. That way, the players can focus on the game without unnecessary pressure weighing down on them.]
