In the entire esports community, XDD is known for his high emotional intelligence and eloquence.
Regular viewers of his streams know that XDD has a great mindset and rarely gets upset or loses his cool due to poor gameplay or disruptive comments in the chat.
But now, looking at the barrage of accusations in his stream chat calling him a cheater, XDD's expression grew increasingly grim.
Bang!
"I've said it a million times, I'm not cheating. Do you not understand human language?"
XDD suddenly slammed the table hard:
"Where's the chat moderator? Get out here and start working, ban all these trolls stirring up trouble!"
YJJ had been in the voice channel all along, and he always had XDD's stream open on his secondary screen.
Seeing XDD's face darken and his emotions getting out of control, he quickly spoke to ease the tension:
"Little Zuo, don't get worked up. Most of the viewers in the chat don't understand the situation. Just explain it to them..."
Hearing this, XDD instinctively wanted to say, "Is it even worth explaining to them?"
But he swallowed the words back down. He knew better than anyone the feeling of being misunderstood and accused of cheating by countless people.
Whether Bai Ye cared or not, he didn't want today's events to label him as a cheater because of himself.
YJJ began to explain:
"Brothers, this Weilong is a friend of mine and Zuoshen's. We met years ago playing OW, and he's truly a top-tier shooter!"
"What top-tier shooter? He's recognized as a Tyrant, okay?"
XDD chimed in:
"Barrage warriors, stop shouting. If you hear the name Nightgod and still cry cheat, it just shows your level is too low!"
"Anyone in the FPS professional circle or those top-tier shooter streamers, they all know Nightgod. Who hasn't been kicked to death by him?"
"How strong is this guy? Let's not talk about the distant past with OW. Just the recent popular games, I know for a fact he's Demon King S in CS:GO, Radiant in VALORANT, and No. 1 Predator for three consecutive seasons in APEX... all achieved solo."
With these words, several streams exploded.
[What the hell? No. 1 Predator in APEX?]
[Damn, you should've said so earlier! It's normal for the No. 1 Predator in APEX to pull off such insane moves!]
[I know about Radiant rank in VALORANT, but I haven't played APEX. How valuable is the No. 1 Predator title? Can someone explain?]
[APEX's Predator is similar to VALORANT's Radiant, but APEX is global ranking. Only the top 750 players on each platform can get the Predator title. The value of being No. 1 Predator is self-evident!]
[Let's put it this way, the APEX environment is pretty bad. At least two-thirds of the 750 Predators are cheaters, and the remaining third climbed over them. Forget No. 1 Predator, even the top 75 Predators can kick cheaters like they're nothing.]
[Thanks for the explanation, I get it now. Off to block the bridge~]
[I remember BBFPS is one of the top three Predators, right? If this guy has No. 1 Predator skills, why not go pro?]
[Exactly, with such skills, why not compete and make a name for himself?]
"I see someone asking, why doesn't Bai Ye, with such skills, go pro and make a name for himself?"
XDD looked at the chat and said:
"Actually, Bai Ge went pro even before I did, but..."
"Those who've watched my streams for a while know that when I first switched to PUBG, the whole internet accused me of cheating. Every time I streamed, my chat was full of people cursing me, and some even targeted me for sniping."
"In 2018, I decided to go pro. I thought, I must achieve something on the field to shut those haters up!"
"By then, my streaming career was taking off, and when clubs heard I wanted to go pro, many contacted me. Initially, I wanted to join RNG because they were quite famous at the time."
"Just two days before I was about to sign with RNG, Bai Ge suddenly contacted me to invite me for a meal..."
Thinking back to those days, XDD couldn't help but smile:
"We knew each other from playing OW, but we'd never met offline. I thought he heard I was joining RNG and wanted to bond with me in advance."
"But when we met, his first words nearly pissed me off. He said, 'What? Made some money from streaming PUBG and forgot your own name? With your skills, you think you can join RNG?'"
Actually, XDD was too embarrassed to say that Bai Ye's original words were not 'made some money' but 'haven't even grown all your hair yet.'
Though Bai Ye was stating the truth...
[???]
[What's going on?]
[Zuoshen keeps calling him 'Bai Ge,' they should be close, right? Why does it sound like a villain's tone?]
[Guys, focus on the key point, Zuoshen mentioned RNG!]
[The contract god!]
[Damn! I think I get it now!]
"Brothers, can you imagine that feeling? It's like you think someone's a friend, but when you meet, they suddenly treat you with hostility."
XDD continued:
"I was only sixteen or seventeen at the time, hadn't even grown tall yet, and this bastard, over six feet tall, cornered me against the wall..."

"I couldn't beat him, but I wasn't going to back down! Then he just dragged me to an internet café, and we had a few duels..."
"OW, CF, PUBG, we played six or seven rounds, and I didn't win a single one. At first, it was neck and neck, but the gap widened as we played."
"Many people say they feel pressured when facing me in a gunfight. You have no idea how much pressure I felt back then. Bai Ye is just ridiculous, like a machine, never making a mistake."
"After losing so badly, I definitely couldn't show my face at RNG anymore. It's one thing for you to curse me online, but he slapped me in the face in person."
"On the way back, I thought, damn it, I need to train hard and make sure I crush him in future competitions!"
"Later on... just search 'RNG Bai Ye' and you'll see..."
Many in the stream chat immediately went to search, quickly finding numerous news articles from back then.
"Esports player Bai Ye, at eighteen, faces a 50 million lawsuit from RNG Club for refusing to fulfill a streaming contract!"
"OW's CN Server No. 1 Bai Ye caught in a slave contract, 90% of income exploited!"
"How to view the first solo 30-kill PUBG pro player Bai Ye, sidelined by RNG for refusing a slave contract?"
"RNG FPS Division pro player Bai Ye sues the club for unpaid wages!"
...
After learning about the past, the chats in YJJ, XDD, and Pipi's streams were flooded.
[Damn! I remember now, this was a huge deal back then, but it suddenly lost traction!]
[RNG wasn't exposed as the contract god back then, they had tons of fans. He probably feared Zuoshen wouldn't believe the truth, so he used a bluffing strategy to drive Zuoshen away...]
[Bai Ge is quite a character!]
[Was Bai Ge blacklisted by RNG? No wonder someone so skilled neither streams nor competes, such a waste...]
[Zuoshen's face lights up when he talks about his past with Bai Ge, they must have a great relationship.]
[Zuoshen, bring Bai Ge to Pero. With his skills, he'll definitely become popular!]
[Support! I want to see Zuoshen and Bai Ge dominate in Aerospace!]
Seeing the chat take a positive turn, XDD was in a great mood and said:
"Alright, brothers, Bai Ge signed an eight-year contract with RNG back then, so it should be expiring soon."
"When the time comes, I'll definitely find a way to bring him to Pero, so you can see firsthand what an FPS Tyrant really is!"
"December 24th!"
At this moment, YJJ, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:
"I remember chatting with Nightgod before, he mentioned signing with RNG on December 24th, 2017. It was Christmas Eve, I remember it clearly!"
XDD instinctively looked at the bottom right corner of his computer.
December 24, 2025, 3:58 PM.
The next second.
