GDT team defeated HJC team 4:3 to win the 2021 World Championship.
On the night the competition ended, both teams posted on Weibo. GDT's post was about successfully winning the championship and thanking fans, while HJC's post expressed regret but vowed to continue working hard in the KPL Autumn Split, stating that there would be a next time.
The Weibo posts were published within two minutes of each other. Regardless of comments, reposts, or likes, HJC's official Weibo was overwhelming GDT's in terms of engagement.
Several hot searches related to this World Championship had emerged. Although none reached the very top ranks, the overall popularity was quite good. However, at 8 PM, an awkward situation occurred: HJC team's ranking on the trending list surpassed that of the champion team, GDT.
HJC team already enjoyed top-tier popularity in the KPL. Today, their performance in the competition was impeccable, and their loss was purely attributed to bad luck.
Losing a match inevitably leads to controversy and questioning, but this time, HJC received more comfort.
As HJC team's ranking on the trending list continued to climb, nearing the top twenty, GDT's official Weibo posted again:
[GDT Esports Club: Due to differing opinions, GDT team and former GDT jungler...]
"What kind of rabid dog is this?"
"Can the dog from a certain team please f*** off?"
"Heh, the one who's really being kicked out is your own idol, being terminated by GDT, they don't want you anymore."
"Always bragging about how amazing you are, the number one jungler in KPL, practically soaring into the heavens, and what's the result? You can't even play in the matches."
"Don't know why you're so arrogant every day, really think you're the savior? GDT can still win without you."
"GDT chose Yang Sinian over Sheng Kuang without hesitation. Do you brainless fans like this surprise?"
"Sheng Kuang really thinks GDT can't survive without you, demanding GDT choose between you and Yang Sinian."
"You truly deserve the title of 'bottom,' don't act so green-tea-like, secretly liking compilations of GDT getting killed in the middle of the night, so petty."
"GDT is awesome! Congratulations GDT! GDT is invincible without Miracle!"
On Sheng Kuang's turf, looking at the bullet comments, it was all support for Sheng Kuang. There were so many comments that 'miners' comments were instantly drowned out, let alone the small faction of Yang Sinian's fans who had flooded in.
Lin Jing stared at the bullet comments for a while before finally understanding what was going on.
It seemed that someone on Weibo or a forum had leaked that the reason Sheng Kuang had terminated his contract with GDT was because he couldn't tolerate Yang Sinian and forced GDT to choose. However, GDT had made a bold decision and chose Yang Sinian, abandoning him.
Sheng Kuang's late-night likes on compilations of GDT being killed had also been brought up, infuriating Yang Sinian's fans, who then flooded Sheng Kuang's live stream.
Naturally, the 'miners' wouldn't stand by and watch Sheng Kuang be insulted, which led to the sudden tenfold surge in bullet comments.
Sheng Kuang, who was playing games with Qin Yu, had no idea what was happening in his live stream.
It had to be said, Yang Sinian's fans' words were truly disgusting.
Lin Jing looked at the chaotic live stream and typed a few words.
Little Jing Sauce: Where are the moderators?
There were too many people speaking in the live stream, she couldn't see her own comments.
Little Jing Sauce: Where are the moderators?
Little Jing Sauce: Aren't the moderators coming out?
Little Jing Sauce: Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator Moderator.
Lin Jing spammed the chat furiously. As she was spamming, her phone suddenly popped up a notification: Congratulations, you have become a moderator for Miracle's live stream.
