Did The Captain Catch Up With The Coach Today [Esports] Chapter 33

Chapter 33

The host responsible for the post-match interview had been waiting nearby for a while. Seeing that they had made their decision, she eagerly asked, “Wei Wan, quickly tell us, how did you manage to invite God Yu to be your coach!”

This question was exactly what the audience wanted to know.

In this match between FHM and EN, besides FHM’s consistently high-level performance, the audience’s biggest focus was Wen Shi Yu’s “comeback.”

No one expected him to return to the TPL stage as FHM’s coach. Many people in the live audience came specifically for him, and there were many of his fans in the live stream chat rooms.

TPL officials couldn’t possibly let this wave of traffic go, so they not only cut the camera to Wen Shi Yu several times during the 10-minute break but also repeatedly instructed the post-match interviewer to ask questions related to Wen Shi Yu.

Therefore, the host eagerly threw out the question about Wen Shi Yu first.

But she clearly misunderstood something, which made Wei Xiao pause.

“We invited Brother Wen to be the coach? Ah… it was a mutual choice, I guess?”

In reality, Wen Shi Yu was the one who formed the team, but Wei Xiao didn’t want to answer that way.

Firstly, Wen Shi Yu wasn’t the only one with a dream; he and the other FHM members also had dreams. No one embarked on this path just to fulfill someone else’s wish. It was true that Brother Wen chose them, and it was also true that they chose Brother Wen.

Secondly, he didn’t want to emphasize that Wen Shi Yu actively formed the team, which might lead to discussion and speculation about Wen Shi Yu. He wanted to keep Wen Shi Yu as low-key as possible. This included both his desire to protect Wen Shi Yu and his own private intentions.

So he gave this response: “I have always admired Brother Wen and dreamed of playing under his guidance. It just so happened that Brother Wen had the idea of becoming a coach, so we… well, we ran towards each other!”

“Hahaha, then you must be very happy!” The host had a look on her face that said, “I’m shipping this.”

Wei Xiao didn’t mind and replied with a smile, “Yes, I’m overjoyed! Brother Wen even signed an autograph for me! And he personally taught me how to play Blade Shadow Dancer!”

The camera turned to Wen Shi Yu. The other FHM members looked at Wen Shi Yu with surprised glances, wearing expressions like, “What? That happened?” Meanwhile, Wen Shi Yu expressionlessly raised a hand, placing his index finger on the bridge of his nose, silently trying to look cool.

The host sensed something intriguing and couldn’t help but hand the microphone towards Wen Shi Yu: “Is that true? Before the match against EN started, you personally taught your Jungler how to play Blade Shadow Dancer?”

Wen Shi Yu instinctively flinched backward, but the microphone was aimed at him, so despite his reluctance, he answered calmly, “I’m the coach. It’s normal to teach.”

“Hey, hey, hey, weren’t you supposed to interview me? Why are you suddenly ambushing our coach!” Wei Xiao squeezed over, directly blocking the host and Wen Shi Yu.

He had a relaxed smile on his face, but his actions were very protective, making it clear to anyone that he was shielding Wen Shi Yu.

People who didn’t know Wen Shi Yu might think he was trying to steal the spotlight, but those who knew Wen Shi Yu understood his body language.

Wei Wan is so nice! He knows God Yu doesn’t like being interviewed, so he actively shields him!

I inexplicably have a sense of him protecting his wife. Maybe this is what boyfriend power looks like, lol.

Because both of them are handsome, I accidentally started shipping them.

FHM’s atmosphere is so good!

The host also saw Wei Xiao’s intention, didn’t respond, and just laughed.

After a while, she asked about something else: “This is your first official match against a top eight team, right? How does it feel?”

“Hmm… do you want me to tell the truth?”

If it were another team, Wei Xiao might have tried to save their face, but for EN, it was already good that he could resist kicking them while they were down.

The host was eager for him to kick them while they were down: “Hahaha, go ahead and say it. You won, so be a little arrogant!”

“Alright, then I’ll be direct. I think the current EN, let alone a top eight team, might not even be able to beat PSP.” Wei Xiao was still being tactful; in his heart, he thought PSP could beat EN 2-0.

“Their skill is okay, just the Jungler is a bit lacking, but their coordination is really poor. The MID and Jungler didn’t link up the entire time. I even suspect they don’t have a shot caller… either the shot caller is bad, or the teammates aren’t listening.”

The host nodded and said “Mhm,” not offering any opinion, and immediately asked the next question because she didn’t want to anger EN’s fans.

However, after EN lost two consecutive games to FHM, the ones cursing EN the hardest were EN’s own fans.

This truth is too tactful. EN played like garbage today!

Skill is okay? Do they have skill? Cooking skills?

EN’s Jungler really didn’t know what he was doing.

After the host asked a few more questions related to the match, she suddenly brought up Wen Shi Yu again: “We all know God Yu’s Jungling skills are top-notch. How are his coaching skills? Can you share that with us?”

“Does that even need to be said? It must be top-tier!” Wei Xiao looked surprised. “How dare you question our coach’s ability!”

“My mistake, my mistake,” the host said, laughing while admitting her error.

“You dare to question our coach’s ability after we won two consecutive 2-0 matches!”

Hahaha FHM is awesome! God Yu is awesome!

What about me?

You’re awesome too! All of FHM is awesome! Keep pushing! Go for it!

The interview concluded amidst widespread laughter across the screen, and many viewers were won over by Wei Xiao.

FHM’s Jungler cracks me up! He’s really talented and funny!

You can tell he really likes God Yu.

Why does everyone call him Wei Wan? What’s his real name?

Wei Xiao.

No wonder it’s xiao (small/young).

Followed. Go, go, go!

After the interview, the entire FHM team packed up and returned to the internet café.

This time, they took a chartered car to avoid the fans.

On the way, Zhou Miao Miao couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Wen, you actually personally taught Captain Wei how to practice a hero? You never personally taught us!”

“I didn’t teach you?” Wen Shi Yu countered. “Didn’t I personally record the Void Star Mark video for you?”

“But that’s not personally teaching!”

“Then what is personally teaching?”

“I don’t know either, Captain Wei said it.” Zhou Miao Miao looked away guiltily.

He didn’t know what kind of teaching method Captain Wei meant by “personally teaching.” Brother Wen couldn’t possibly have covered Captain Wei’s hand with his own to teach, but he couldn’t recall any memory of Brother Wen teaching Captain Wei how to play Blade Shadow Dancer. When did they do this?

Brother Wen actually gave Captain Wei private lessons behind all their backs!

Although Zhou Miao Miao acted like he was jealous, he wasn’t. He was mostly curious, and he couldn’t resist the urge to tease the two of them.

Captain Wei acted spoiled and asked Brother Wen to grab his water bottle, and Brother Wen personally taught Captain Wei how to practice a hero.

Hiss—you two are getting a bit ambiguous.

The speaker had an intention, and the listener took it to heart.

Wei Xiao was afraid Wen Shi Yu would be unhappy, so he quickly tried to explain: “No, it was normal teaching! ‘Personally teaching’ is an exaggeration, you know? It’s a figure of speech!”

Duo queuing for MID-Jungler synergy, verbal guidance throughout, followed by post-match reviews, and 1v1 demonstrations—if that wasn’t personally teaching, what was?

So, when Wen Shi Yu heard Wei Xiao’s words, he didn’t feel relieved; instead, he felt a little depressed: “Oh, it was normal teaching?”

Wei Xiao: “…”

Wei Xiao: “It was normally personally teaching! The teaching was super detailed, but we didn’t touch hands!”

“You’re only making it worse,” Wen Shi Yu couldn’t help but complain, then smiled helplessly and personally responded to Zhou Miao Miao’s curiosity, “Actually, it was nothing. After you guys finished playing against PSP, your Captain Wei couldn’t sleep, so I played two games with him and practiced Blade Shadow Dancer twice.”

“I see,” Zhou Miao Miao suddenly understood.

“No wonder Captain Wei woke up late the next day,” Tang Li also realized.

“I play Blade Shadow Dancer too. Teach me too,” Qin Jin Yao said.

“Let Captain Wei teach you. He has graduated now,” Wen Shi Yu replied.

“Oh,” Qin Jin Yao had no objections.

“Speaking of which, what are we eating tonight?” Lu Qing Yang was hungry.

Zhou Miao Miao: “I want barbecue.”

Qin Jin Yao: “Hotpot.”

Tang Li: “I vote for hotpot.”

As soon as they started talking about food, everyone’s attention was drawn away.

Wei Xiao was a little distracted.

Wen Shi Yu looked at him.

Wei Xiao met his gaze, snapped back to reality, and nervously stuck out his tongue.

Wen Shi Yu gave him a small look that was a bit disdainful and a bit smug, then turned his gaze elsewhere with the corners of his lips lifted.

It was as if he was saying—Look at what you said? It still had to be me.

Wei Xiao was amused by his own imagined dialogue, chuckled softly, and then leaned back against the seat of the chartered car, absentmindedly admiring the scenery outside the window for a while.

Actually, Brother Wen must have some feelings for him too, right?

He really wanted to confess… but he really didn’t dare.

Hmm… let’s win the championship first.
