The league’s so-called banned drugs were referred to as ‘stimulants.’ In various sports events, many athletes used doping and would be banned after it was discovered. Once many athletes in a national team’s delegation used doping, the country might even be disqualified from the competition.

After e-sports players did doping, their brains would be in a state of excitement. They would be more awake and react faster. This could theoretically improve the player’s game status.

However, e-sports competitions were different from other physical competitions. E-sports players had to use both hands to tap the keyboard and mouse. ‘Precision’ was important. Once the muscles were excited, it would affect the muscle memory formed by the usual training and control during the game.

This was also the reason why no one had ever used stimulants in e-sports competitions. The gains outweighed the losses. They could use the drugs to be refreshed and react faster, but the delicate operation of the fingers could lead to various mistakes.

International competitions had a very strict attitude toward doping. In an e-sports competition, doping checks usually weren’t carried out because no one used them. However, once a complaint was made, the officials must check it according to the regulations.

The South Korean team’s move was really insidious! They apparently had the so-called ‘evidence.’ When Dr. Zhou came to the hotel, he might’ve been photographed by the ‘careful people’ of the Korean team and reported it to the league.

Fortunately, Jiang Shaoyu had already prepared them. Once players saw the competition committee coming to check, they weren’t shocked or frightened. Everyone’s attitude was, ‘F*k, our coach is awesome. He actually predicted the opponent’s move’, ‘These idiots really came’ or ‘Hurry up, we have to play after our blood is drawn.’

Since the players of the Chinese team were so calm and cooperative…

This greatly facilitated the work of the league.

The team of doctors quickly finished drawing blood. They also went to Jiang Shaoyu’s room and took away a few injections on his desk for examination.

Jiang Shaoyu said very politely in English, “It is hard work. If there is nothing else, we will go and prepare for the opening ceremony. After the inspection results come out, please let us know as soon as possible.”

The executives of the league: “……”

The coach looked calm from beginning to end. Judging from the performance of the Chinese national team, everyone didn’t seem to have a guilty conscience. So was the doping incident a misunderstanding?

A senior official of the competition committee took the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Shaoyu and said with a smile, “Coach Jiang, thank you for your cooperation. We will get the result as soon as possible and deal with it fairly.”

Jiang Shaoyu nodded and turned around to leave with the team.

Not long after the Chinese team was investigated, someone on the domestic network really led the rhythm. It wasn’t known who sent the photo, but in the photo, the players of the Chinese national team were lining up for an inspection, and the senior officials of the competition committee looked very serious.

Not long after, a hot search appeared on the Weibo homepage.

#Gun King national team under investigation by the doping control agency#.

This topic instantly detonated domestic public opinion!

At this time, it was late at night in China. A group of netizens who surfed the Internet at night clicked into the hot search one after another, and their jaws dropped.

“What is the situation? Did the Chinese national team use doping? [Confused.jpg]”

“It shouldn’t be? Do e-sports players still need doping to play games?”

“Excuse me, will the hand speed become faster after using a stimulant? Can a handicapped party like me reach the king rank after taking the stimulant? If it is possible, I will buy it [dog head.jpg].”

“I don’t know. E-sports competitions never had a precedent of doping bans, but a few athletes can be found every year in the track and field competitions.”

“Track and field athletes can run faster after taking stimulants, but can e-sports players kill more fiercely after taking stimulants?”

“Will your hands twitch after taking it [amused.jpg]?”

At first, netizens still viewed this matter as a joke.

Then gradually, the wind of public opinion started to change. more and more people came out to question Jiang Shaoyu and the national team.

“The national team is really disgusting. There are unspoken rules and stimulants. Can’t there be some good news?”

“Coach Jiang is really unscrupulous. He is afraid that he can’t beat the German team and used doping?”

“This national team might as well go back to China early. It is really shameful!”

“Being investigated for doping is unprecedented!”

“A doping control agency has been dispatched. It must not be groundless. The league has evidence, right?”

“If China is banned, shouldn’t Coach Jiang resign on the spot and apologize?”

Passersby who originally didn’t know the truth started to worry when they saw this.

A doping control agency had been mobilized. Did the Chinese team really take drugs that violated the regulations?

At this moment, a netizen who claimed to be an ‘old ACE fan’ published a small composition with feelings. “God Wing must be under too much pressure after the Asian Championship and really wants the national team to achieve results. He used this method but didn’t expect the league to check. Don’t scold him. He just hopes that the national team can win a prize. He didn’t want to do this either.”

Jiang Shaoyu’s fans, “……”

You are an undercover agent invited by the enemy, right?

This Weibo was scolded by real fans until it reached the top three in the topic area.

“The result hasn’t even come out, yet you are so eager to admit it. Are you sick?”

“Are you the roundworm in his stomach or his spokesperson? What qualifications do you have to apologize for him?”

“Bury this enemy army generously. Don’t pretend. How much did you get paid for posting this?”

Jiang Shaoyu’s fanbase in China was very large, and they didn’t believe that God Wing would be stupid enough to use stimulants. However, Jiang Shaoyu had offended the capital behind many ‘star players before.’ The number of people who disliked or hated him was the largest in history. These black fans took the opportunity and scolded him in an ugly manner.

Words such as ‘most disgusting coach in history’, ‘black-hearted coach who does unspoken rules’, ‘the national team is equal to the Jiang family’s team’, and so on emerged endlessly. For a time, fierce scolding battles started on the Internet. Some passersby who didn’t pay attention to e-sports saw the hot search and clicked in to eat melons.

The topic of #Gun King national team under investigation by the doping control agency# hung high in first place on the hot search list.

At this time, San Francisco, the United States.

The phones of the national team’s players had been confiscated by Coach Jiang.

He had vaccinated the players in advance to prepare them to be investigated. He also knew that after this incident fermented in domestic public opinion, many people who didn’t know the truth would question the national team. Black fans would definitely scold them. The competition was approaching, and there was no need for players to see the negative public opinion.

He would take care of it and let everyone play with peace of mind.

It was soon 7 o’clock in the United States, and it was dawn in China.

One night passed. The scolding battle wasn’t over, but the opening ceremony was getting closer and closer.

Netizens who went to bed early last night woke up in the morning and were immediately surprised when they saw the hot search on Weibo. Fortunately, this group of people who surfed the Internet in the morning were those who had set their alarm clocks to watch the opening ceremony and group matches. Psychologically, they were more inclined to believe in the national team, and they left rational messages. “The league is just doing an investigation, and there is no conclusion. Let’s wait for the results to come out.”

“Yes. If they really did doping then I will be the first to turn black and scold them! But the results haven’t come out yet? What are you so excited about?”

The doping control agency cooperated with the organizing committee to work overtime urgently. The blood sampled was inspected with the most advanced equipment, and the results were finally obtained before the opening ceremony.

The Gun King World League also issued an official announcement.

“After receiving an anonymous report that the Chinese team used prohibited drugs, the organizing committee launched an investigation as soon as possible. The sampling results show that no illegal drugs were detected in the blood of all the coaches and players of the Chinese team. The suspected stimulant injections found in Coach Jiang’s room have been determined to be omega inhibitors, which belongs to the list of compliant drugs. The league won’t put any sanctions on the Chinese team, and all of the Chinese team’s matches will continue as usual.”

Doping? Give me a break.

What was detected in Jiang Shaoyu’s blood was an omega inhibitor!

The moment the news was released, netizens were immediately excited. “Great! I knew that someone was deliberately messing with us!”

“Who is this whistleblower? It is disgusting to report an opponent before the match!”

“F*k, the thing I’m worried about is whether the mentality of the players will be affected or not.”

“They were suddenly investigated before the competition. How could they not be affected? I guess that the newcomers will be confused. I feel sorry for everyone.”

“I hope everyone resists the pressure and their mood isn’t affected because of this matter!”

After a wave of comments, someone discovered the key point. “Wait, the injection found in the coach’s room is an omega inhibitor? What does this mean?”

“Did Coach Jiang bring omega inhibitors for Shi Xiaobin?”

“Did Binbin put his medicine in the coach’s room? No, under normal circumstances, shouldn’t it be placed in the team doctor’s room?”

Netizens were becoming more and more confused.

This matter was really filled with twists and turns, reversal after reversal.

In the beginning, it was said that Coach Jiang committed the unspoken rules with Shi Xiaobin. Later, it was said that the national team was doping, and now there were omega inhibitors in Coach Jiang’s room?

The silent Jiang Shaoyu finally logged into Weibo and posted a message.

“I am an omega. The injection of inhibitors caused some misunderstandings, and I was reported. Now the league has determined the results, and the national team will play as usual. The players haven’t been affected. Thank you for your concern.”

The netizens: “……”

Coach Jiang was actually an omega?

F*! They hadn’t expected such a reversal.

The omega coach of the Chinese team injected an inhibitor, and it was mistaken for doping! Then it was reported to the league… This was simply ridiculous!

Why was it shocking and somewhat funny?

Was the person reporting it stupid?

Netizens who always believed in Jiang Shaoyu were finally elated and slammed hard on the keyboard. “Where is the person who said that the coach marked Xiao Bin? Come out and show your IQ. Can an omega mark another omega?”

“I’m laughing. Coach Jiang took Binbin back to mark him? Why don’t you become a screenwriter if you are so good at brainstorming?”

“Coach Jiang just cares about Binbin, okay? You have misinterpreted it as the unspoken rules and a nurturing relationship. There are too many dirty things in your mind, and it becomes dirty when you look at others.”

“Who reported it? Our coach injected an inhibitor and was reported. Have players in other countries never seen an omega so they don’t know about inhibitors? [pointing.jpg]”

“This is the funniest joke of the year in e-sports!”

“The league’s organizing committee is also quite helpless, right? After checking for so long, only omega inhibitors were found. The head of the dog who reported it should be cut off [dog head.jpg].”

“God Wing is the world’s first omega head coach. Ahhhh, I like him even more?”

“So all the black materials during this period are nonsense? Is it because someone hates Coach Jiang and deliberately blackens him? I feel sorry for our God Wing.”

“God Wing is so handsome, and he clarified it very calmly. I am an omega. Hahaha, surprise? Are you surprised?”

San Francisco, the backstage preparation area of the e-sports center.

The assistant coach of the Korean team who spoke Chinese opened his phone, saw the topic #Coach Jiang said he is an omega# on the Weibo homepage, and a row of question marks slowly appeared above his head. “???”

Coach Cha saw him looking at his phone and chuckled. “After this raid inspection, the mentality of the Chinese team must be very poor, and they are likely to lose today’s match. They are no threat to us as long as they don’t get out of the group stage.”

Cha Injun paused and asked, “How is the public opinion in China? Are they all scolding Coach Jiang?”

The assistant coach hesitated for a moment before whispering, “Jiang Shaoyu said he is an omega.”

The smile on Cha Injun’s face froze. “What?”

The assistant coach scratched his head. “He is an omega and has no ambiguity with Shi XIaobin. The medicine in his room is an omega inhibitor. Our attack on him seems to have missed.”

Cha Injun: “……”

Their big move? Uh, he hadn’t expected it to end like this at all!
