Who do you think of the first thing you think of when it comes to "spicy man"?

Is Connor the protagonist in the game "Assassin's Creed"? Is it Gogoing, a former top laner of the League of Legends OMG team? Is it clearlove, a jungler of the League of Legends EDG team? Or is it Guo Guixin (promise) a player of the Honor of Kings eStarPro team?

Spicy man

In fact, nowadays, "spicy man" no longer refers to a single person. After development, this word has long become a fan's love name for their idols, or a praise for the achievements of a professional player. Even, not only in the e-sports league, but also looking at the major traditional sports events, there seems to be "spicy men".

Connor, the protagonist of "Assassin's Creed"

Explanation of "spicy man"

"Spicy man" means "that man", which was originally just a synonym.

After verified by Huibo e-sports, the "spicy man" meme originated from the action game "Assassin's Creed". Because in the Assassin's Creed game, the protagonist Connor does not look like an assassin in the game, but looks like a berserker, so that Connor is criticized by some players as a berserker, while Connor's true fans will immediately argue with him on the Internet, resulting in "Connor" being set as a sensitive word, and if it is typed, it will be blocked by the system, so in the end, he has to use "that man" instead. Later, as there were fewer people in debate, "that man" became a joke and was used as a joke, "As long as you can name that man, an axe will appear on your head."

The "spicy man" in League of Legends

Xiaoxiao, the assistant of the old IG team in League of Legends, is the first person to bring "that man" to the world of League of Legends.

In the Xiaoxiao commentary IG competition, because he did not dare to call OMG top laner Gogoing, he jokingly said "that man". However, Xiaoxiao's Mandarin is not very standard, so he just said "a hot man". "That man" gradually evolved into "a hot man".

Gogoing

In League of Legends, the first generation of "Spicy Man" refers to Gogoing (Gao Diping), the leader of the dark force OMG. Gogoing was officially hailed as the "Light of the Top Lone". With his terrifying personal strength, in the group stage of the S4 Global Finals, in the 50-drop blood epic turnaround with the FNC team, Gogoing used Ryze to flash the team and instantly lost his mouth. Then OMG team destroyed FNC and took the enemy crystal, completing the feat of blood turningaround, achieving the eternal story in the history of League of Legends e-sports.The moment. In the quarterfinals of the S4 Global Finals knockout stage, the OMG team led by Gogoing swept the South Korean NJWS team 3:0, and OMG is therefore known as the "pioneer against South Korea". Gogoing was also successfully selected into the world's best team, and his strong personal performance made Gogoing sought after by domestic and foreign media and fans.

But after the S5 season arrived, Gogoing, the former "top lane light" became a "carousel" because of its poor condition and was hidden by the team. Fans used "spicy man" to describe Gogoing, hoping that he would get back to his form and play in the game one day. However, in the end, "spicy man" failed to satisfy the wishes of the fans and finally chose to retire.

Clearlove

With the retirement of his elder brother Gogoing, the title of "Spicy Man" was "inherited" to the factory director Clearlove (Mingkai), so the factory director can also be called the second generation of "Spicy Man" in League of Legends.

Clearlove (Mingkai), a professional player with LPL number 0001, has won two world championships in IPL5 in 2012 and MSI in 2015. He won five championships in the LPL league, which no one can match. His achievements in his past career are amazing, and he has even been called the most famous professional player in LPL for a long time. However, as a veteran who has been fighting in the arena for many years, as he gradually increases his age, his competitive state is gradually declining. After the World Championships every year, Clearlove usually chooses to leave the arena temporarily and practice in seclusion. Only when the competitive state is adjusted to the level that he is satisfied with will he "return the king." Clearlove thus became the "hot man" that fans are waiting for in their minds.

However, with EDG officially announcing Clearlove to become the head coach of EDG team in the new season, the "hot man" that fans are waiting for has now transformed into a coach, and will appear on the field as another identity in the new season.

The Battle of "Spicy Man"

In League of Legends, the inheritance of "Spicy Man" from Gogoing to Clearlove is an extremely natural transition. Even the first generation of "Spicy Man" Gogoing said that it is okay to call the factory director a "Spicy Man" and he doesn't care, because in his heart, the factory director is a respectable person. Gogoing also said that if it really doesn't work, you can also call yourself a "spicy old man".

However, unlike the smooth transition of "spicy men" in League of Legends, when "spicy men" crossed from League of Legends and spread to King of Glory, it caused a "war" between groups.

Estar Pro "stolen jokes" is a hot man

ThingsThe love originated from the "repeated name" (i.e., collision ID) of the eStarPro team player Guo Guixin (Nuoyan) of the League of Legends EDG team jungler Clearlove (also known as "factory director" and "No., collision ID), and was questioned for maliciously "stolen jokes" and riding on popularity, because at that time, the "spicy man" of the League of Legends EDG team jungler exclusively belonged to Clearlove, and Clearlove is far more famous than the eStarPro team player Guo Guixin (Nuoyan) of the Honor of Legends eStarPro team.

As the incident continues to escalate, the "Spicy Man" incident has also evolved into a "war" between the League of Legends e-sports circle and the King of Glory e-sports circle. Some League of Legends players even said that although many players in the League of Legends LOL e-sports circle like to black factory managers, if they are black factory managers outside the LOL e-sports circle, then LOL players will unanimously protect the dignity of factory managers from other places.

This "war" eventually ended with the victory of the LOL e-sports circle represented by the director of EDG. With the help of many LOL professional teams and LOL e-sports celebrities, EDG Nuoyan's Weibo super message has been successfully applied for. Such a grand occasion also makes those who swear by LOL and LPL amazing. Such an influence is absolutely impossible to achieve in Honor of Kings KPL. The Honor of Kings eStarPro team eventually came forward to apologize.

However, it is worth mentioning that as the director of EDG transforms into the head coach of EDG team, eStarPro becomes the 17th team in the League of Legends LPL through seat bidding, and will eventually meet EDG in the League of Legends LPL in the 2020 season. I just don't know what the situation will be like then.

Who is the "hot man"?

Huibo Esports believes that who is the "hot man" is actually not that important now. Because, after the development of the word "spicy man", it has long become a fan's love name for their idols, or an admiration for the achievements of a professional player. Even, not just the e-sports league, but looking at major traditional sports events, it seems that there is such a "hot man".

Kobe

For example, for the Celtics in the NBA league, Middleton of the Bucks may be such a "hot man". In the first round of the NBA playoffs in 2017-2018, the Celtics and the Bucks met in a narrow road. No one could have expected that Middleton, who was only the "second leader" of the Bucks, was unstoppable in the series. And for Nets or Nets fans, Kobe may be the "hot man" they think. As early as the 1996 NBA Draft, Kobe was a "hot man" that the Nets could meet but hard to come by. And the NBA Finals 5 years laterIn the game, when the Lakers led by Kobe and O'Neal finally swept the Nets to win the championship, perhaps the weight of "spicy man" Kobe in the Nets' minds will be a little heavier.

In the table tennis event, Liu Guoliang, the current chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, can also be called a "spicy man". From a professional player to the head coach of the national table tennis team, he has won mercy in various competitions. When Liu Guoliang announced his resignation as head coach, many netizens said, "I hope that man will come back." When Liu Guoliang officially took office as chairman of the China Table Tennis Association, Japanese media once exclaimed that "a terrible man is back."

Coach Clearlove is online

Of course, although many people can be called "spicy man" in many fields now, in the League of Legends circle, the title of "spicy man" only belongs to Gogoing and Clearlove. This is not only a recognition of the achievements and honors they have achieved in their LOL careers, but also a commemoration and remembrance of the wonderful moments they left on the field.

But, now two generations of "hot men" in League of Legends, one has become a team boss on Douyin and is addicted to "destroying the team"; the other has stepped down from his professional player and set out again with the attitude of "Begin, Again".
