After the plane arrived in Seoul, the organizer's staff came to pick up the plane in advance. Since there was no Chi Shuo's name among the people who traveled in the Huaguo District this time, the person in charge of the pick-up checked the number of people according to the list, and Chi Shuo left consciously. The team said that they would take a taxi by themselves.
Ye Shaoyang looked at him worriedly and asked, "Do you speak Korean? Is it okay to take a taxi alone?"
Chi Shuo said: "I called the car-hailing in advance. You can go to the hotel with everyone, and I will be there later."
Ye Shaoyang whispered: "Then you pay attention to safety, after all, this is a foreign country."
Shaoyang is still very concerned about him, worried that he is alone in a foreign country. In fact, Chi Shuo is not the first time to come to Korea, he is very familiar with this place.
On the way to the hotel by taxi, Chi Shuo looked at the high-rise buildings outside the window, and his mood was very complicated.
The last time I came to South Korea was six years ago. At that time, he was Tianhuan's youth trainee, and he didn't make his official debut. There was an unofficial invitational tournament in South Korea with high prize money. Master asked him to come along with him to see the world. It was Chi Shuo's first time abroad, and the master was worried that he would get lost and kept staring at him.
Now, as the captain and master, he accompanies Shaoyang and Xiaoxing to participate in the competition.
Time flies too fast, he is 23 years old, and the years when he was an e-sports player from the age of 17 to 23 will be the most unforgettable experience in his life.
In particular, he also met Ye Shaoyang, and finally understood what it was like to like someone.
Thinking of Ye Shaoyang's unprepared sleep on the plane, the corners of Chi Shuo's mouth raised slightly, and his mood was much better.
In the past, he always felt that after retiring in the future, he would have nothing to do. Now that there is Shaoyang, after retiring, you can take Shaoyang to travel around the world. As long as there are people you like around, you will not feel bored doing anything.
The taxi came to the hotel soon, and the official pick-up car had just arrived. Chi Shuo saw Ye Shaoyang and the others in the hotel lobby checking in with the leader. Chi Shuo went to the front desk on the other side to check in.
The two looked at each other in the crowd.
Ye Shaoyang smiled at Chi Shuo. At this moment, the phone rang. He looked down and saw that Chi Shuo sent a message: "I live on the 17th floor of Building B, 1703."
Ye Shaoyang replied: "The players and staff in Huaguo District all live on the 22nd floor of Building A. I'm at 2219."
Building A and Building B are quite far apart.
But in the same hotel, you can meet at any time.
Chi Shuo said, "I'll go put my luggage first, and then we'll talk after it's settled."
This hotel is the designated cooperative hotel of this World Invitational Tournament. Players from all countries live in Building A, and Building B receives individual tourists.
Chi Shuo put his luggage away by going back to the room. Soon, the phone rang, and the head of the little white cat made people feel very friendly: "I went back to the room. The staff said that there is a welcome dinner tonight. How do you solve it?"
Chi Shuo said, "Don't worry about me, I'll go out to eat by myself."
Ye Shaoyang looked at this line's reply and couldn't help thinking, Chi Shuo doesn't go with the team, he will live and eat alone for the next week... It's not good to leave him alone
However, players are not allowed to leave the team without permission during the overseas competition, and Ye Shaoyang cannot go out to eat alone with Chi Shuo like in the domestic competition.
He was a little tangled, and was thinking about whether to ask the chairman to apply to the organizing committee to increase the quota for a team meal, when he saw another message from Chi Shuo—
"Teams from all countries have signed up in advance and cannot add anyone. I'm going abroad voluntarily this time, and I don't want to cause trouble to the team leader and the chairman, so I'll arrange food and accommodation by myself. You don't have to worry, just prepare for the competition. "
"..." He seemed to guess what he was thinking? The strange connection between the two is sometimes really hard to explain. Seeing this news, Ye Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, pay attention to eating on time."
"Well, I'll order food at the hotel."
After finishing the conversation, Ye Shaoyang went to the bathroom to take a shower, hung his clothes in the closet, and it was dinner time after packing up. The leader Liu Xiao sent a notice to let everyone gather at the elevator entrance and have dinner together.
Tonight's welcome dinner was full of people. There were 32 people in the individual competition and 32 people in the 16 groups x 2 in the double competition. In addition to the team leaders and official commentators of each competition area, the first floor was contracted by the competition committee.
The dinner party was quite rich, but Ye Shaoyang was not very interested in the various shapes of kimchi on the table. He wasn't hungry anyway, he ate something casually, and the host who spoke in English and Korean didn't understand, and didn't listen carefully. Anyway, the team leader would post information related to the game in the group.
After dinner, a blond boy suddenly came over to greet them, and gave Zhou Jiawen a warm hug. Ye Shaoyang looked up at him and met the boy's blue eyes.
The other party has a pair of very beautiful blue eyes and curly blond hair, like the little prince in the comics. Zhou Jiawen introduced with a smile: "This is Mitchell." He then looked at Mitchell and said, "This is the blazing sun you never forget."
Ye Shaoyang: "..."
I didn't expect Mitchell to be quite cute, handsome and sunny.
Ye Shaoyang stood up and greeted him politely: "Hello."
Mitchell looked at him curiously and said in broken Chinese, "You, actually, Omega?"
Ye Shaoyang imitated his tone and said, "Are you actually an Alpha?"
Mitchell's eyes widened: "I was originally an Alpha."
Ye Shaoyang said, "I was originally an Omega."
Zhou Jiawen helped his forehead helplessly: "Let me translate it for you. What Mitchell means is that you are an Omega player and you are so fierce in the game. He didn't expect it at all."
Ye Shaoyang nodded with a smile: "I know what he means. Tell him that I will be more aggressive in this individual match than when I played against him in the training match. If you happen to meet me, don't be merciful to me."
Zhou Jiawen translates it in English next to it.
Mitchell's eyes were about to fall out: "I will definitely win you this time!"
Ye Shaoyang raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then I expect you to beat me."
Mitchell left angrily, and Yao Mu smiled beside him: "Did he come all the way to give Yangyang a gauntlet?"
Ye Shaoyang said: "It was probably because I was single-killed in the training match, and I felt a little uneasy."
Zhou Jiawen complained in a low voice: "This guy is particularly vengeful, I killed him a few times in the international server, he must come back, chase me every day for a battle, and in the end, he won't give up until the score is 50 to 50 with me. , I don't even know him."
Zhou Jiawen paused and added: "Although he has a bad temper, he has no heart. He only has games in his mind. He is quite a simple person. Well, in Chinese, it means rectal, lacking roots, right?"
Cheng Xing blurted out: "Isn't that similar to reporter Zhao?"
After speaking, he realized that a newcomer should not talk too much, and immediately lowered his head with a blushing face.
Zhou Jiawen said: "Xiao Xing is right, his style is indeed like reporter Zhao, so he always plays the mid laner as a fighter, and cuts him face-to-face. His favorite is the thorn and the melee mage. Benming [Sun Wheel Master]. As a result... his lifelong hero was killed by Lie Yang alone, and he remembers Lie Yang to this day."
Ye Shaoyang coughed lightly: "That's why he underestimated the enemy at the time."
As they were talking, there were two people passing by, and many players gathered around to chat with them. These two candidates seemed to have their own star aura when they appeared on the stage, and their looks were also very high.
Zhou Jiawen lowered his voice: "Cui He and Park Yuanxi."
Ye Shaoyang understood, looked back at them a few more times, South Korea's most popular Nakano combination has also been evaluated by the Korean media as the world's No. 1 jungler, mid-laner, and the world's No. 1 mid-jungle linkage... It's hype.
The two newcomers are not yet 20 years old, the best age for e-sports players, and they won the world championship again last year. Some pride is inevitable. Ye Shaoyang saw a few lesser-known players go to greet them. The two of them ignored them and left the scene quickly.
Xie Weiyu whispered: "It's arrogant."
Ye Shaoyang smiled lightly: "After all, he was last year's world champion."
Xie Weiyu said: "It's a pity that Team Chi didn't participate in this year's competition. Otherwise, the two of you will not be afraid of them if you are linked with Nakano. Who is the number one in the world? It's uncertain."
At this moment, Cheng Xing suddenly whispered, "Brother Yang, is that blond beauty over there, Vanessa from the European division? There are not many female players, and she happens to be at the table in the European division."
Ye Shaoyang followed Xiaoxing's gaze and met her light brown eyes.
Vanessa wasn't shy, she smiled generously at Ye Shaoyang, and gave Ye Shaoyang a wink. Ye Shaoyang looked away and said, "Miss A, do you pay attention to her?"
Cheng Xing said: "It's quite beautiful."
Zhou Jiawen joked: "Xiao Xing likes female A?"
Cheng Xing waved his hand hurriedly: "No, I still like cute little Omega beauties!"
Zhou Jiawen couldn't help laughing: "How old are you? By the way, are you differentiated?"
Cheng Xing's face flushed: "I, I have long differentiated into Alpha!"
Ye Shaoyang actually never realized that Cheng Xing was an Alpha. In his eyes, this is a child who has not grown up. However, in the ABO world, Cheng Xing has indeed been differentiated, marking adulthood.
He can tag Omegas.
Of course he can also be with a girl A
Anyway, marriage in this world is very free. As long as you are a human being and the other person is also a human being, don’t fall in love across species, and two people can register for marriage.
Ye Shaoyang felt more and more that it wouldn't be strange to see any type of couple here.
Ye Shaoyang lowered his head and picked up his mobile phone, and sent a message to Chi Shuo: "Have you eaten?"
Chi Shuo: "Well. The grouping information is out."
He sent Ye Shaoyang a screenshot.
Ye Shaoyang was busy eating and identifying players, but he didn't pay attention to the official website of the league.
But Chi Shuo stayed in the dormitory all the time. He called the hotel's food delivery service, refreshed the official website while eating in the dormitory, and immediately sent the group list to Ye Shaoyang.
In this individual competition, the top 32 are divided into 8 groups from A to H. Each group has 4 players. The top two qualify for the top 16. Starting from 16 to 8, it is a knockout system, and the top four and the champion have been determined.
Ye Shaoyang is in Group C. The players in the same group are from Japan, South Korea and North America.
Cheng Xing was in Group H, and the players in the same group wrote Mitchell and Vanessa
Ye Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning: "Xiao Xing's luck is not very good, how did he bump into these two people."
Chi Shuo said: "It doesn't matter, it's a rare opportunity to compete with world-class players. No matter whether you win or lose, you can play every game well. Xiaoxing didn't expect to win the prize when he went abroad this time, and he knew it in his heart."
Ye Shaoyang thought about it for a while and agreed: "Yes. Anyway, only the top four can win the prize, and Xiao Xing's strength can't reach the top four. It's a good thing for him to get a strong player in the group stage."
Chi Shuo said: "I have already checked the information about the people in your group, 1 fighter and 2 junglers. You can call me after you return to your room after dinner. We will play a mock match tonight."
Did he actually stay in front of the computer to check the information for the first time? These players, Ye Shaoyang, have never heard of them. If you want to know the players in the foreign competition area, you need to go to the official website of foreign countries to find data and information, and you have to translate online. Chi Shuo obviously spent a lot of thought to get the information of these three players.
Ye Shaoyang's heart warmed slightly, and he typed: "Thank you for your hard work."
Chi Shuo said: "It should be. I can play most of the warriors and assassins. I can accompany you to practice your skills in advance and find the most suitable game rhythm and outfit plan."
Ye Shaoyang said: "Well, the game time is tomorrow afternoon. Please ask the Chi team to be a sparring coach for me this evening and tomorrow morning. Let's find ideas for the game together. After returning home, I will treat you to a big meal ^_ ^”
Chi Shuo replied simply: "No problem."
