The entire press conference was in an uproar. Even if they didn't have any ill feelings towards Tang Rou before, after seeing Tang Rou's attitude, they couldn't take it anymore.
What was this? A stubborn duck? She had clearly lost the bet, yet she didn't apologize and admit that she had been too arrogant. She also didn't leave the Alliance as promised. All she did was say that she didn't agree?
The Glory Pro League had been going on for ten years, and there had never been a player like this who would directly refuse to acknowledge their own public statements.
Pro players were also public figures. Their reputation was extremely important. For a player who broke her own promise, no matter how good her image was, no matter how good her temperament was, what company would dare to ask her to be their spokesperson? Without these endorsements, who would be willing to promote her? In fact, for a player with such a terrible image, in order to avoid affecting the team's image, no matter how good the player was, they would still keep a respectful distance from her, right?
Tang Rou's actions were simply cutting off her own path of survival. Although the reporters were in an uproar, for a moment, apart from calling her "shameless," as Ruan Cheng said, they actually couldn't find any other way to condemn her. No one had ever experienced this before. They had no experience!
For a moment, the reporters were like wasps in their nest. Their voices buzzed. Perhaps some of them really did want to ask something, but in such a chaotic situation, no one could clearly hear any of the questions.
"Everyone, quiet down, quiet down!!" The Alliance's media spokesperson shouted loudly. Usually, teams would bring their own spokespersons. When their team's press conference was held, they would act as the host. Happy didn't have one, so the Alliance's staff temporarily took over. The Alliance's staff would also protect the team, but in the end, they wouldn't be as diligent and responsible as their own team's PR staff. Right now, this person only wanted to maintain order at the scene. He didn't have the heart to worry about Happy.
The uproar among the reporters lasted for about five minutes. When it gradually quieted down, everyone's faces were filled with righteous indignation. This time, no one could understand Tang Rou's actions. Only Chang Xian, who first saw the flustered and exasperated expressions of the reporters, was secretly pleased. But after that, he began to worry for Tang Rou. He knew very well how unfavorable Tang Rou's attitude was. He did not know what kind of public relations plan she had in mind. Based on his understanding of Happy, they did not seem to have a professional public relations team. During the press conference, they were very casual. Otherwise, they would not have attracted so much hatred.
Ruan Cheng stood at the forefront of the crowd of reporters who had regained their order, as if he was the leader of the opinion.
"Miss Tang Rou, may I ask what you mean by your words just now?" Ruan Cheng was quite astute. Even though he had thought about it carefully, he was still afraid that Tang Rou's words had some sort of PR trap hidden within them. After all, this kind of handling was too outrageous. In the ten years of Glory, nothing like this had ever happened before.
"What I mean is that I won't quit the Pro Alliance. I'll continue to play," Tang Rou said.
Good, this time, it's clear. There's no more twisting meaning to it, right? Ruan Cheng immediately became spirited.
"Then, what do you think the oath you made before is all about? Do you think that a simple 'you don't agree' can be brushed aside? What do you think of those Glory players who care about you, wish you well, and support you because of this? "Ruan Cheng said.
"Oh." Hearing this, Tang Rou stood up.
"I regret that I was not able to complete a 1v3. I've disappointed those who care about me, wish me well, and support me." As Tang Rou spoke, she bowed forward, and then continued to stand up straight. "But I won't quit because of this. Even if I break my promise, I will continue. I will bear all the blame that comes from this. What I'm very worried about is that I've implicated my teammates. I hope that the team will not be negatively affected because of this, because these are all my personal decisions. I hope that all the blame and criticism will only be directed at me and not affect Team Happy or the other members. "
"Your actions are tarnishing the team's reputation," Ruan Cheng said.
"Mm, you're right. The team was implicated because of me. We're the victims. Thank you for being so rational," Tang Rou said.
The atmosphere in the stadium became strange again.
What was this? She actually wanted to bear all of her mistakes by herself? These clear and unmistakable words made it impossible for the players who wanted to throw mud at Happy along with him to open their mouths. But to bear all of this alone, did this Tang Rou not consider her future?
All of the reporters understood how crazy it was for Tang Rou to destroy her own image and future. But because of this, they couldn't attack her.
"Do you know what kind of effect this will have on your future?"
For such a question, the other side's "It's none of your business" was enough to instantly kill them. If the other side really didn't care about their future, what kind of idiot would they be to use this as an issue? So when Ruan Cheng spoke, he wanted to stand on the side of those who cared about and supported Tang Rou, and also point out that she had tarnished the team's reputation. But all of this, Tang Rou took it all on. She had an attitude of "if you want to scold me, then go ahead."
Aside from this, there was no other way to stand!
Could it be that they were going to say, "So many people were hoping that you wouldn't be able to complete the 1v3 and get lost? Now that you really didn't complete the 1v3, how could you face these people who were hoping that you wouldn't have a good ending?"
This kind of attack would probably only make Tang Rou even happier when she broke the contract, right?
For a moment, the experienced reporters didn't know how to respond. They could only secretly swear in their hearts that they would attack this Tang Rou boldly when they returned. But when they saw Tang Rou's attitude, they couldn't help but feel a little guilty. This person clearly didn't care about her image and didn't need their support and understanding. What effect could their attacks have? Maybe it could only be a catharsis, right?
Tang Rou's toughness made the reporters at a loss. Ruan Cheng, who was fully prepared to taste the taste of victory, didn't expect this kind of situation. Tang Rou took all of the blame, so what about Team Happy? What do you think about this?
"Happy Team Happy, what do you think of Tang Rou's performance today?" Ruan Cheng said in a low voice. He finally avoided Tang Rou. He felt that he couldn't take Tang Rou's toughness anymore and needed to find a new breakthrough point.
"Tang Rou's performance today …" Happy Team Captain Ye Xiu opened his mouth to speak. "Very good." He nodded affirmatively. Then, under the stunned gazes of everyone, he continued, "In the group arena, she went up to the third person in a 1v2 match. This kind of performance is really quite strong."
The reporters were in tears. God, don't play dumb, okay? You know that's not what we're asking. But then again, regardless of the oath, it was really quite impressive for one person to go up to the third person in the group arena! Some of the reporters were in a daze. But some of them were not in a daze and were about to quickly point out that the God shouldn't play dumb, but Ye Xiu had already continued speaking.
"What needs to be seriously criticized are the next two players. Two people, yet you didn't take down one of them? Especially the third player in the group arena, Fang Rui. Did the team spend so much money to get you to be a trash snack? You can't even take care of Wang Jiexi? "Ye Xiu rebuked. The tone of "can't even take care of Wang Jiexi" was truly deafening! Ever since Wang Jiexi had entered the Pro Alliance, the reporters had never heard such a sentence.
"Yes, yes, yes." To the side, Fang Rui's face was full of shame as he repented, "I was wrong. I wasn't able to focus on the match. Someone like Wang Jiexi, I should have at least gone up against ten of him."
"That's a bit too much!" Ye Xiu said.
"Eight?" Fang Rui said.
"Yeah." Ye Xiu nodded.
The reporters went crazy. There was no way they could report such a thing. Everyone would know it was a joke. If you said it seriously, people would question your judgment in reporting. They could only write down these words as they cursed them for being shameless. When they interviewed Wang Jiexi later, they would see if he really minded. Only then would they have an explanation.
But this shouldn't be the main topic right now!
"May I ask God Ye Xiu, as the captain of Team Happy, what are your thoughts on your team members going back on their word? I seem to remember that before, you firmly believed that Tang Rou could complete a 1v3, right? "A reporter gnashed his teeth, clearly enunciating the key words as he asked this question.
"Those were necessary words. Is this your first day as a reporter?" Ye Xiu said.
The reporter was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he couldn't help but admit that these words were reasonable. When faced with the doubts of a team member, the captain, or even any of the players on the team, unless there was a conflict that couldn't be resolved, they definitely couldn't undermine their own team! Whether they believed or not, when faced with the outside world, they definitely had to agree unanimously.
But Ye Xiu's words were still caught by Ruan Cheng.
"So, God Ye Xiu, you actually don't believe that Tang Rou can complete a 1v3, right?" Ruan Cheng asked aggressively.
"How could that be? Did you forget that I was the one who set the target for her within five rounds? "Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"But she hasn't completed it yet," Ruan Cheng said.
"Yeah, when it comes to competitions, no one can predict 100%, including me," Ye Xiu said.
"But she made that vow," Ruan Cheng said.
"And now she's not prepared to abide by it," Ye Xiu said calmly.
"What's your assessment of this?" Ruan Cheng asked.
"The team can't interfere with an individual's decision. Here, I'm very grateful that Tang Rou can make such a decision and prevent us from losing an outstanding player. Thank you. "Ye Xiu's last two words were said to Tang Rou.
"You're welcome," Tang Rou replied with a smile.
Crazy! Everyone in this team had gone crazy!
The reporters were dumbfounded. Could it be that they didn't understand the seriousness of this matter? Right now, they could still casually deal with it. If it were any other team, their public relations team would probably be in a terrible fix by now, right?
Although Tang Rou said that everything was her personal decision and had nothing to do with the team, as a member of this team, her image was a part of the team's image. Even if she made such a statement, the team would still be negatively affected. Regarding this, the manager of this team, their boss, actually didn't have any opinions at all? She was probably already cursing in her heart, right?
Happy's boss, Chen Guo, just happened to be in the interview booth at this time. The reporters immediately turned their attention to her.
