"I am very sorry to inform you that top laner Xu Ruoguang [ID: Emporer] will be absent from the summer split due to personal reasons."
"We cannot do without Emporer's help and performance along the way at UR. We sincerely hope that he can handle it well. UR will always wait."
"The specific time of his return is unknown, but we will not forget him."
When this tweet was posted to Twitter, Weibo, INS and other major platforms, almost instantly all the fans who were following UR went crazy.
"???My brother Guang is not here for the summer season?"
"That's not right. The contract hasn't even ended yet. If the transfer was over, it wouldn't be an announcement like this. UR treats Brother Guang like a true father. It doesn't make sense."
"Did something really happen? Maybe something bad happened to Brother Guang."
"Could it be that... on the way back to South Korea..."
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense!"
MSI has not ended for two days, and now the strongest top laner who has just won the title of MSI champion is suddenly absent from the summer split. It is strange to see it.
Can't fight?
But that’s impossible. Brother Guang was 16 when he debuted in S5, and he’s only 20 now. Why can’t he fight?
This is the real peak period.
I'm afraid, something really happened to Brother Guang.
All of a sudden, all kinds of speculations began to fly.
Some said that Xu Ruoguang was in a car accident, some said that Xu Ruoguang was kidnapped now, and some even said that UR kidnapped Xu Ruoguang and forced him to renew his contract, which is getting more and more outrageous.
UR management is also confused.
They thought that an announcement would be enough. After all, it was difficult to explain clearly what happened to Xu Ruoguang's relatives.
Isn’t that enough to eat steamed buns with human blood?
But who would have known that because their announcement was somewhat secretive, it made the majority of netizens and fans worried.
I can only say that it makes people laugh or cry.
Things became more and more intense, and some fans even spontaneously began to boycott ROG peripherals, causing Asus's stock to drop a bit. ROG couldn't sit still, so it had to contact Xu Ruoguang.
Xu Ruoguang’s reaction was similar to that of ROG’s senior management.
It's a little funny, but also a little touching.
The excessive concern from netizens is certainly a bit surprising, but is it not because of their love for him?
He took his mobile phone and simply recorded a video and posted it on the social platform.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Ruoguang."
In some bright rooms, Xu Ruoguang stood in front of a wall as much as possible without exposing any decorations.
The person who helped him record the video was kkoma.
The summer season hasn't started yet, and since Mingkai is there at the base, KKoma isn't particularly anxious, so he simply stays to help.
"Thank you very much for your concern for me."
Two or three days have passed, and Xu Ruoguang's face is not so well concealed because he often waits in front of the dean's grandmother's bed.
In fact, the dean's grandmother had been advising him to rest, but Xu Ruoguang didn't listen.
Xu Ruoguang, who was facing the camera, was no longer wearing the UR uniform at this moment.
Wearing UR uniforms all the time in the hospital was a bit garish. Xu Ruoguang didn't want to be followed by various media and sasaeng fans, so he had changed into regular clothes.
He was wearing a thin long white shirt and a pair of simple black casual pants on his lower body.
Her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were still alert even though they were tired.
Clean, nothing fancy.
But it made his already outstanding temperament stand out even more.
Let countless female fans shine directly.
Xu Ruoguang bowed seriously to the camera and thanked him.
"Thank you for your concern for me during this period. I'm actually fine. Nothing special happened. Please don't think too much about it. I will return to the game as soon as possible after handling the matter."
He spoke calmly, and at the same time helped UR talk to Nuguri, who was about to replace him as UR's top laner.
"Thank you to Mr. Le Keden, the boss of UR. He is very happy to approve the leave. Please don't anger him. This matter has nothing to do with them."
"I also ask everyone to be more tolerant of the top laner Nuguri who replaced me during this period. He has not been playing professionally for a long time. If there are any mistakes, I hope everyone can forgive him as much as possible. I am looking forward to his future."
"That's all I have to say, let me deal with it first."
He rarely showed a weak smile.
"Wish you all good morning, noon and evening."
Turning off the recording, KKoma looked at it and was a little bit tongue-tied.
"I never expected that there would be a player with such terrifying popularity."
If something goes wrong, fans all over the world will pay attention.
This is far beyond what ordinary players can achieve.
Xu Ruoguang didn't pay attention to his implicit praise, smiled faintly, and continued to peel the apple, while trying to find any props in the system mall that could increase the probability of surgery.
But he was disappointed.
There are indeed props for players' health, but such black technology can only be used on himself and cannot be used on other people.
"……never mind."
Xu Ruoguang rubbed his face.
He had already expected it. As an auxiliary player, how could a system that collects game data have such a function?
"Brother, you go back, I will accompany him."
Outside the door, Enjing has already arrived.
After she received a call from Xu Ruoguang yesterday, she came without any hesitation.
Even though the instructor was very reluctant this time, he even threatened to postpone his stay.
Because she takes too much leave now.
But Eun Jung still didn't change her mind.
Studies are very important.
But, she knows.
Xu Ruoguang needs her even more at this moment.
So, she is going.
There is no other reason.
She walked into the room, sat quietly next to Xu Ruoguang, gently held Xu Ruoguang's hand, and leaned slightly on his shoulder.
Nothing was said, yet it seemed like everything was said.
Xu Ruoguang unconsciously grabbed her hand with his backhand, and the two of them were quiet for a while.
"Thank you."
After a long time, he spoke.
What greeted him was that she hugged him.
"feel better now?"
Hair with a refreshing orange scent floated in front of Xu Ruoguang. Xu Ruoguang put his head on her shoulder and buried his face in her shoulder.
The sun was shining brightly at the moment, and tiny dust particles floated in the light.
"Um."
Xu Ruoguang relieved himself of the tension of the past few days and said in a daze.
"What's the situation like?"
She patted Xu Ruoguang's back, let go and spoke softly.
"……not too good."
Xu Ruoguang lowered his head and rubbed his hair with both hands, still feeling a little guilty in his eyes.
"I should have been more decisive when I asked her to undergo a physical examination. It's all my fault."
"Does surgery need to be performed?"
She looked at him worriedly, never letting go of her clasped hands.
"...Probably, it's very risky, but she wants to try it."
"What should I do? I don't know."
"I don't want to put her at risk, but I...I don't know."
Xu Ruoguang murmured.
This is the first time Eun-jeong has seen him look so confused.
Enjing didn't say much, she just held her hand tighter, trying to give him some strength.
"Let grandma decide for herself."
She said softly.
"We should trust her, shouldn't we?"
"……maybe."
Xu Ruoguang calmed down his emotions.
He was going to see how the dean's grandmother was recovering soon, and he didn't want to see her with a sad face.
He stood up and tried his best to smile in the mirror.
Of course, it's a little ugly.
Seeing him like this, Enjing felt even more distressed.
After a while, his smile finally stopped looking so ugly.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see her."
Xu Ruoguang got up and the two of them walked to the hospital.
On the way, Xu Ruoguang asked strangely,
"Why does it smell like orange?"
He remembered that the flavor Enjing used before was not like this.
"Oh, I didn't use perfume, for fear of disturbing the elderly. What you smell should be the smell of shampoo."
Eun Jung explained with a smile.
Xu Ruoguang was stunned for a moment, feeling a little moved.
Her attentiveness is really rare.
The two walked to the ward, Xu Ruoguang knocked on the door, and the nurse inside opened the door.
"Is it convenient now?"
Xu Ruoguang didn't rush in, but asked.
The nurse nodded, "Today's care is over. You can go in, but be careful not to make too much noise."
Xu Ruoguang nodded to express his understanding, smiled as soon as he walked into the room, and said with a smile in a medium voice.
"Grandma, look who I brought here?"
On the hospital bed, grandma was quietly looking at the birds outside the window, her face calm and calm, and it seemed that no difficulty could hit her.
Hearing this, he turned his head and curled his lips when he saw Xu Ruoguang.
Enjing sat on the edge of the bed and nodded gently.
She has been learning Chinese by herself for a long time since she fell in love with Xu Ruoguang, and now she has no problem communicating in daily life.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine."
Grandma Dean looked her up and down, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
"I heard that you are Korean, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to understand you. I didn't expect that you can speak Chinese so well. Okay, okay."
Grandma Dean patted her side happily,
"Child, come here a little bit and let me take a good look at you."
Enjing obediently came over and sat down next to her.
The dean's grandma held her hand, looked at her carefully, and showed a satisfied smile.
"This girl is so pretty. At first glance, she seems to be a very virtuous and down-to-earth person."
In the eyes of the older generation, good-looking or not is secondary.
There is always only one thing that matters most: whether the couple's personalities match each other.
The current dean's grandmother is very satisfied with Eunjing.
Xu Ruoguang is sometimes easy to get into trouble, and his personality is very stubborn and quite strong.
If he finds a girlfriend with the same strong personality, the dean's grandma will actually be a little worried.
At first glance, Eun-jeong is a quiet and gentle person, and she has an intellectual temperament. She is most likely from a good family and is highly educated.
The dean’s grandma was very satisfied.
"Why did you let you find such a good girl?"
She glanced at Xu Ruoguang and suddenly felt a little displeased.
Xu Ruoguang:……
"Grandma, it was actually Enjing who chased me..."
"You just relied on your face to deceive the little girl."
Grandma Dean snorted.
What else could Xu Ruoguang say, he could only nod.
At this time, while Xu Ruoguang was staying in the ward, Zhang Xiaquan, a player named Nuguri, had already arrived at the UR club.
He raised his head slightly, blocked the sun with his hands, and looked at the UR team logo.
"This...is UR?"
Suddenly, the door opened.
Ming Kai walked out. He came specifically to pick up Zhang Xiaquan.
"Hello, are you a Nuguri player?"
He smiled very kindly.
Zhang Xiaquan nodded quickly. He didn't bring any luggage, only a backpack containing his commonly used peripherals.
"you are……"
"I'm Assistant Coach Clearlove."
Ming Kai replied with a smile, and stretched out his hand to take the backpack from Zhang Xiaquan's hand, but Zhang Xiaquan subconsciously dodged it.
He said awkwardly, "Sorry, I don't really like others touching my peripherals."
He is a somewhat shy and introverted person.
Ming Kai understood clearly and didn't mind nodding.
There are quite a few players like this among professional players, and not all of them are social butterflies.
"Okay then, let's go, I'll take you to resettlement."
After resettlement, Mingkai took Zhang Xiaquan to visit UR.
"This is the canteen..."
"This is the bathroom..."
"This is the entertainment room..."
"This is the psychological consultation room..."
"This is the tactics seminar room..."
"This is the infirmary..."
so big……
Zhang Xiaquan was almost stunned.
The various facilities are complete to the point of exaggeration.
There is even a small indoor stadium on the third floor of the UR Club.
Is this a real top club?
Completely different from DWG...
The DWG boss silently wiped away tears.
Zhang Xiaquan’s first impression of UR was: big!
After walking and stopping along the way, the two finally arrived at the training room.
Mingkai opened the door and saw a huge, bright and spacious space.
On the left, several outrageous computers with top-notch configurations are scattered around, and the UR players are seriously ranking.
In the middle is a huge snack area, where all kinds of snacks and drinks are available, and four vending machines are quietly placed there.
The most eye-catching thing is that one of the vending machines is full of Wangzai milk.
Because it's too eye-catching.
On the right side, there are five computers arranged neatly, with the words "Training Competition Area" on the wall, and the configuration also looks high-end.
At least Zhang Xiaquan from DWG has never seen such a high-end one.
Mingkai noticed his gaze and explained,
"Wangzai milk... This is the drink that Xu Ruoguang and Xu Xiu like to drink very much, so it's the most popular."
Zhang Xiaquan nodded to express his understanding.
He still knows a lot about Xu Ruoguang.
From S5 to now, the number one top laner who has dominated the entire League of Legends for almost five years, the man who beat Smeb into autism, sends a group of top laners from all over the world to retire every year.
I almost have one hand full of championship rings.
He also has a very good training attitude and is famous for being the first leg in the Korean server. There are even sayings like "How can you play League of Legends if you can't win at Emporer?"
Of course, more... are those few encounters.
Even in rank, Zhang Xiaquan was sometimes shocked by Emporer's strong personal ability as an opponent.
He can always make decisions and operations that make Zhang Xiaquan feel incredible.
So when he found out that he would be Emporer's current substitute, he was undoubtedly very nervous and excited.
This pressure is terrifying.
Zhang Xiaquan knows this very well.
Is there anything more difficult than playing against a No. 1 singles player?
Yes, competing with the first top laner for a position in the same team.
Zhang Xiaquan can almost guess that as long as there is a problem with his performance, he will immediately become the person who gets scolded the most.
But he still came.
The challenge is difficult, but since he has chosen to play professionally, he is already prepared.
If he can't withstand this pressure, it means he is not good enough.
Zhang Xiaquan is such a person.
Although he is shy, he is also proud and not afraid of challenges.
If I can fight, I won't be afraid.
If I can't play anymore, I won't sit around and just choose to retire.
This is him, Nuguri.
Next, naturally, I got to know my teammates.
Zhang Xiaquan was a little surprised.
Because the teammates seem to have good tempers, especially deft and Xu Xiu.
Deft is very gentle and has a very good impression on Zhang Xiaquan.
And Xu Xiu always had a smile on her face, which also made Zhang Xiaquan feel at ease.
Mingkai was in trouble at this time.
Where should Nuguri be seated?
Sit at Xu Ruoguang's seat?
Mingkai gave up the idea immediately.
He pointed to a computer next to Xu Ruoguang,
"Just sit there."
Zhang Xiaquan nodded, took the peripherals and replaced them with his own.
The staff came over and pasted his ID. Zhang Xiaquan was stunned and looked at the seat next to him.
【Emporer】
Am I sitting next to Emporer?
He took a deep breath and his eyes became firmer.
Zhang Xiaquan, you can definitely do it!
Next, naturally comes free training.
Zhang Xiaquan trains equally hard.
Until the evening, Xu Xiu took him and other UR team members to the second floor of the cafeteria to help Zhang Xiaquan, a newcomer, clean up.
At this time, the video recorded by Xu Ruoguang was also released.
Zhang Xiaquan also pays special attention to him.
I took out my phone and looked at it carefully.
When I saw Xu Ruoguang said,
"I also ask everyone to be more tolerant of the top laner Nuguri who replaced me during this period..."
"...I'm looking forward to his future."
Zhang Xiaquan was a little stunned.
He knew that if he came to UR in this situation and switched to an ordinary Korean top laner, he must have thought that he was competing for the starting spot.
Zhang Xiaquan never thought that Xu Ruoguang would speak for him.
He also asked fans to be merciful and be more tolerant of him.
Zhang Xiaquan thought it was a script about not bullying young people into poverty.
Who knew...
The Emporer, whom he originally thought was the villain...
It also……
This is too grand!
The pattern is still open!
Zhang Xiaquan never thought it would unfold like this.
He suddenly understood something.
Why is it that no one from Smeb, who was said to be a bit autistic after being beaten by Emporer, or those players whose hearts were broken, said anything bad about Emporer?
This player... really deserves the title of No. 1 top laner in the world!
With Xu Ruoguang speaking out, UR fans finally became a little quieter.
But what followed was a variety of increasingly outrageous speculations.
"#Emporer is about to participate in the US election and is preparing to fight!"
"#Emporer is participating in the selection of the Chinese captain and will be injected with genetically modified genes immediately."
"#老大 is back, Emporer was kidnapped by Ke Mi and reincarnated in the dirty land, and Wo Ke announced his return!"
"#Emporer is suspected of being recruited by the lizard people!"
I can only say how outrageous it is.
Especially American fans, their imaginations are terrifying.
In addition to the common lizard man conspiracy theory, they also took action.
They actually created an Emporer cult!
And it is the kind that has been officially registered in the United States and has received a recognition letter signed by the government.
Start communicating with each other online every day.
"May the Almighty God Emporer protect you, my friend!"
"Oh, thank you, dear Emporer believer, Gate E!"
And under this circumstance, things seemed to be calming down gradually.
In the summer split, Nuguri’s debut begins.
UR is still the designated team for the opening ceremony. After all, it is the only team in the lineup now, one that cannot even be compared to the veteran SKT and Samsung.
In this game, Nuguri's performance surprised many people.
UR still adopts the idea of inclining BP to the top lane, creating a perfect space for Nuguri to play.
And Nuguri also lived up to the trust placed in him by the UR team. In the first game, he used vampires to score a perfect record of 6/0/7 and won the MVP.
The second time, when three top laners were moved, I took out the sword girl and killed one of them fiercely.
Although he still couldn't achieve super, his performance was equally good and terrible.
For a time, the entire network was filled with praise.
"What a handsome vampire sword girl! UR found a treasure!"
"I am super, Niuguli!"
"Am I the only one who thinks he looks a bit like Beria?"
"Hahahahaha it's true!"
"The disobedient Emporer is no longer needed! Humph!"
"If you don't give it to me, I will deduct 1 and give you Emporer."
"111, I, Huang Za, are you really going to give it to me? Brother, the contract guarantees that he will be stuck in the era of Warhammer 40k."
"Haren, 40k is here, right?"
"Huang Za announced its separation from RNG. I like RNG players but hate this stupid club."
Nuguri didn't expect that either.
This game doesn't seem to be as difficult as he thought?
In the following games, Nuguri also played very well. Even if he could not kill every time, he could still get a very good matchup advantage. This aspect of his personal ability was fully demonstrated.
Until July 13th, the game against SKT.
Before this game, Nuguri was very relaxed,
Because Khan has a hard time fighting Emporer every time, even if he is not killed in the line, he will easily have problems, and he will become a father inexplicably.
But he doesn't know.
The rookie wall is coming!
New talented players can win the game with their talent in the early stages of entering the game.
But soon, as each team pays more attention to newcomers and researches and targets tactics, newcomers will become trapped.
Either break through yourself, or... lose yourself to everyone else.
The only person who can ignore this law is... Emporer.
In the first season, he was banned five times!
But you can still carry.
At this time, without Nuguri's knowledge, SKT had already arranged everything for him.
Two hours later, UR was easily taken away by SKT 2-0!
Nuguri's hands and feet were shaking as he looked at the results on the screen.
0/6/3!
In both games, he failed to play any role and was targeted by SKT.
Vision habits, laning habits, and common handling methods in team battles.
All seen through!
Khan, who was initially a little complacent after his winning streak and thought he was nothing more than that, also completed several solo kills against him in the game!
