" Gu Shi!"
As soon as Tianyun finished speaking, a lean man wearing a white T-shirt with the [ Monkey Media ] logo printed on the chest stepped onto the stage, waving his hands high!
Guest commentators and anchors in the viewing area.
Sang Jie, Ting An, and other anchors from Flower Fruit Mountain Monkey Media were excitedly shouting like monkeys. The frail and thin Sang Jie was especially enthusiastic in waving flags to cheer on his good friend Gu Shi.
" Gu Shi Shidi! If you beat Yinuo, I, Sang Jielun, will treat you to video games for the rest of your life!"
"Well done, Gu Shi! Keep your spirits up and don't let the KPL pros look down on our top streamer!"
"Let the pros see what a top-tier marksman and a master of the bottom lane really looks like!"
Other top-tier King of Glory watching the match, such as Zongshi and Han Han, cheered and encouraged Gu Shi!
After all, since 2020, the title of lane Overlord has been completely monopolized by KPL professional players. For five whole years, apart from the Zongshi emerged as a dark horse in 2023, no other top streamer has been able to win the title of Overlord!
The stereotype that top streamers are weaker than top professional players has become a widespread misconception among King of Glory players!
"Great God Gu Shi," Tianyun smiled charmingly, slightly bending her slender waist, and extended her arm in an inviting gesture, "Please take your seats in the battle arena."
Thank you, Teacher Tianyun!
Gu Shi blushed slightly and avoided eye contact. This was her first time getting close to Tianyun, and she found him to be perfect in both appearance and aura. He truly deserved to be called the e-sports succubus on par with the host, Ling'er.
Every smile and frown is captivating.
No wonder she's the dream girl of so many players.
Gu Shi took his seat on the development lane's opposing team's bench.
Directly opposite is [ Yinuo ], dressed in a bright red AG team uniform.
As early as last year, he competed with Yinuo for the title of Farm Lane Overlord, but unfortunately, he was not as skilled and missed the opportunity.
"It's nice to see you again, Gu Shi."
Yinuo leaned back in his gaming chair, his left hand supporting his cheek. His slightly raised eyebrows exuded an air of superior pride, while a hint of pity rose deep in his eyes as he looked down at Yi Nuo.
It was as if Gu Shi was not a match for him, but a lowly, pitiful creature.
"Hello, God Nuo."
Gu Shi, forcing a smile, he greeted them, saying, "I hope that at this year's Overlord Feast, we can join hands to bring a spectacular battle to the audience and fans!"
Yinuo scoffed, "You mean a one-sided, crushing defeat?"
Gu Shi's expression changed slightly. Just like last year, Yinuo was still as arrogant as ever. However, as the Strongest Overlord, he certainly had the right to be arrogant.
" God Nuo, I remember we've clashed many times in ranked Peak Tournament, and I won more often than I lost."
Yinuo laughed out loud, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "We professional players treat ranked Peak Tournament like entertainment. Only a streamer like you would be so smug and proud of beating us in ranked matches."
Let me tell you a painful truth.
Five years ago, you streamers could still try to piggyback on the fame of professional streamers; five years later, you streamers aren't even worthy of shining their shoes.
Gu Shi's face turned extremely ugly. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't come up with a single word to refute it.
The other professional Overlord in the surrounding stands cast various glances at him, some mocking, some ridiculing, but most showing sympathy.
"They completely looked down on me because of their profession!"
Gu Shi clenched his fists, feeling ashamed.
Five years ago, professional players and top streamers were like family, living in harmony. However, as professional leagues developed their dominant systems and operations to the extreme, things changed.
Professional players have become arrogant and disdainful of others.
The top streamer with a unique perspective and approach to streaming is a joke!
Ultimately, it comes down to professional players banding together to monopolize the Overlord spot, which deprives top streamers of opportunities for advancement.
Just like now.
Even if he really does defeat Yinuo in this one-on-one match.
In the subsequent 5v5 team competition, can they really defeat the super-luxury lineup composed of five top KPL players?
"Someone has to stand up and defend these top streamers!"
Gu Shi slowly loosened his fists, his expression returned to normal, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes. Even if he ultimately failed to win the title of Farm Lane Overlord, he would still defeat Yinuo in the one-on-one match and give the professional players a good slap in the face!
At this very moment.
The host Tianyun, draws lots to determine the heroes who will face off in the final showdown.
Which hero will it be in the bottom lane?
Under the spotlight.
Tianyun took a slip of paper from the lottery box, unfolded it to look at it, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He then flipped the paper over.
Lady Sun!
The AG fans in the audience instantly went wild!
"Holy crap! What luck Tianyun! He got Lady Sun, Captain Nuo's best champion?"
"Awesome, we've got this! Brothers, Xiangxiang is the hero Nuozai plays best besides Gongsun Li. Picking her guarantees a point."
"Poor Gu Shi only lasted three seconds. Blame it on God that He also expects our entire AG team to Overlord!"
On the stage.
Gu Shi logged into his live streamer account, Yinuo logged into his professional account.
With the referee's signal, both players simultaneously locked onto Lady Sun, and the battle officially began.
Front row of the broadcasting audience.
A handsome young man in a pure black windbreaker leaned back in his chair, his eyes languid, his long, slender hand with distinct fingers holding a can of sugar-free cola.
"Brother Exalted Emperor, I've been looking for you everywhere!"
A joyful male voice rang out.
Su Hang glanced at him and saw a tall man in a blue eStas team uniform. Although he had a kind face, his eyes could not hide his sharpness.
Who are you?
"Me? Huahai, the Homebody Moe Meow." Huahai turned around, pointed to the name print on her team jersey with her thumb, and laughed, "What? We were chatting last night, and you've already forgotten?"
Su Hang suddenly realized, stood up, and smiled, "So it's Brother Hai. Thank you for your great help, Brother Overlord Feast."
"Hey? Don't be so formal."
Huahai smiled and shook hands. Unexpectedly, Exalted Emperor, who was known for his aloofness in the live broadcast, was surprisingly easy to get along with in real life.
"Brother Exalted Emperor, you're much more handsome in person than on live stream." Huahai stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping up and down, left and right. "You've got the looks, the physique, and the height. I'm starting to like you."
"Um?"
Su Hang froze, instantly letting go, taking a step back, and looking wary. "Let me make it clear beforehand, my sexual orientation is normal."
"Forehead?"
Huahai was extremely embarrassed and quickly coughed strategically, "You misunderstood, Brother Exalted Emperor. My sexual orientation is normal, it's not for you!"
"That's good."
Su Hang felt somewhat relieved.
It's no wonder he reacted so strongly. Since landing in Chengdu, he's lost count of how many men have asked for his WeChat. The key is that they all look and dress remarkably similarly: round faces, glasses, beards, thick leg hair, and white socks.
Even more so.
After clearly expressing that their sexual orientation is normal.
The other person claimed to have magic, saying that with a snap of their fingers, they could make themselves forget they were once a giver! Then they snapped their fingers and said, "You've already forgotten you were ever a giver."
It's... pretty speechless.
Huahai sat down next to Su Hang and looked up at the big screen. "Brother Exalted Emperor, who do you think will win this 1v1 duel on the development lane, Gu Shi or Yinuo?"
