Chapter 49: A pretentious long essay by White Crescent Moon!
This is a long article.
White Crescent first reviewed his career as a player. In 2013, as the captain of Wayi Spider, he announced his retirement due to poor performance.
He then recounted his experience coaching the LGD esports team, talking about the S5 Summer Split championship and the regrets of S5.
"From GanJian to TES, I have a clear conscience."
"I admit that I made many mistakes during my time with TES, but the management, especially the boss, was willing to believe in me."
"We almost made it to Worlds in the S9 Regional Finals, that was a pity."
"In S10, we won our first MSC championship and our first LPL championship, which remains our peak to this day."
"I dare not say how much credit I have made, and I never boast about my achievements, but no one can erase my contributions to TES."
"This is something everyone can see."
"As a veteran of the LPL, it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm considered one of the older generation in the LPL."
"Given the LPL's current dominance with three championships in four years, a young player who just debuted in the LPL actually pointed his finger at his head coach and started hurling insults. I won't even mention scrims or draft picks; how can you treat a senior like this?"
"Lin Jin, I'm talking about you by name!"
"I remember I was the one who secured his place in the starting lineup. I thought he played quite well and was creative."
"Admittedly, his performance at this World Championship was commendable, but that cannot cover up his despicable character!"
"Inciting teammates' emotions and manipulating management's will—that's what Lin Jin did!"
"He's trying every possible way to force me to leave just because he's unhappy with my business plan!"
"Lin Jin is a parasite on the entire TES club; he doesn't deserve to be a professional player at all!"
"I reserve the right to pursue legal action against him indefinitely!"
After the white crescent moon's Weibo post was published, it was like a boulder thrown into an already turbulent lake, causing a huge uproar.
Countless netizens commented and posted, and numerous marketing accounts reposted and created special features to increase traffic and exposure.
The topic instantly rose to number one on the trending searches, even surpassing a minor celebrity who bought traffic.
LPL commentators, streamers, and retired players all chose to remain silent and watch the drama unfold, or simply enjoy it as a spectacle, not daring to make any comments.
Meanwhile, netizens are already arguing fiercely.
"Holy crap! It exploded! It exploded! It exploded!"
"If what White Crescent said is true, then it's absolutely explosive."
"My God, is Brother Huo really that kind of person?"
"Huozi has only been here a short time and he's already the team tyrant of Top Esports?"
"Judging from how confident White Crescent is, at least one thing is true: Huozi was dissatisfied with White Crescent's draft and forced him to leave."
"Lin Jin is such a scheming guy, I really didn't realize it."
"White Crescent Moon left willingly? Does a contestant have that much power? I advise everyone to be rational."
"I support Coach Bai; he's TES's greatest coach and a living legend in the LPL!"
"White Crescent debuted in S1 and became the captain of the founding LPL team in S3. After retiring, he has been active in the coaching position. He is absolutely dedicated to his duties."
"Yes, you can say he's bad, but White Crescent's character is impeccable."
"The person who could inspire White Crescent Moon to post such a critical message on Weibo, Lin Jin, is definitely not a good person."
"Harmless Brother Huozi".
In no time, the internet was flooded with netizens joining the bandwagon to criticize Lin Jin.
Even the comments under the official Top Esports club page are hoping that the club and Lin Jin will step forward to explain everything.
Many marketing accounts have portrayed White Crescent as the victim, while Lin Jin has become an unforgivable villain who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and even disrespects the elderly and children.
However, many netizens still feel that it is unreasonable that Top Esports has not yet spoken out.
"Yeah, what about Top Esports? What about Guo Hao? Come out and explain, so the fans won't worry."
"At this crucial moment in the semifinals, with Top Esports as the only remaining hope for the entire LPL, why haven't they said a single word?"
"I think if Brother Huozi were a little tougher and came out to refute it now, it would be absolutely explosive."
"Right now, Huozi and the club are preparing for the semifinals, and their opponent is T1. How can they be distracted at this time?"
"I can only say that the timing of White Crescent Moon's choice was excellent; it was a well-thought-out strategy."
"The white crescent moon has already gained the upper hand in public opinion. If Brother Huo doesn't respond directly, he won't be able to get rid of this label."
Countless Lin Jin fans hope that he can stand up and say something, even just a word of rebuttal.
However, it hasn't happened yet.
One post stated:
"Everyone, don't panic. It's 4 AM North American time. Huozi hasn't even gotten up yet. What are you going to respond to?"
"Yeah, we'll definitely get a response from Top Esports."
"This is such a big matter, it must be resolved before the semifinals."
"I'm going to go and stake out Huozi's Weibo right now."
"Speaking of which, Gao Tianliang, Jack and the others, aren't they saying anything either?"
"I won't say anything without the club's approval."
…………
Atlanta, inside the hotel arranged by Riot Games.
Lin Jin, who had just gotten out of bed, was using the toilet while scrolling through his phone, occasionally scoffing at the situation.
He had anticipated White Crescent's hysteria, and even suspected that it was premeditated to erupt on this day.
The purpose is clear: to disrupt Top Esports' preparations.
Despite his grandiloquent words, his argument is actually untenable and riddled with errors.
Lin Jin had already figured out how to respond, and was just waiting to hear what Hao Ge had to say.
Upon arriving at the training room, Guo Hao, the team leader, and the coaches were already gathered together.
Seeing Lin Jin approach, Guo Hao greeted him:
"How are you? Did you sleep well? You have to go to filming later, so be energetic."
Lin Jin nodded: "It's alright."
They exchanged glances, and Guo Hao cleared his throat: "You saw what happened on Weibo, right?"
"White Crescent has responded; the club's meaning is..."
Before Guo Hao could finish speaking, Lin Jin interrupted:
"When will I be allowed to respond?"
what?
Guo Hao was planning to discuss with Lin Jin the possibility of keeping quiet for now, not responding, and handling the situation calmly until they reached the finals or the World Championship ended before responding.
But Lin Jin made this request right from the start.
"I've already edited it, Hao-ge, it's definitely going to be posted."
Lin Jin smiled and shook his phone, grinning widely.
what?
The Weibo post is already edited?
That's really fast!
The team leader quickly came over and said, "Don't rush. If you respond again, it will confirm that the players and coaches of Top Esports Club are at odds and have publicly broken off relations."
"This is a huge blow to our club's image."
Lin Jin's tone turned cold:
"If there was any damage, it was his white crescent moon that started it first. I won't take the blame for this!"
