In the soundproof room on the big stage, Lao Nie and Song Yuning held back tears as they hugged each other. The two of them had already submitted their retirement applications. This match was their last match before leaving the league.
Unfortunately lost.
They were instantly cut to death by the opposing fighters in the big dragon team battle, which was the key to the tiebreaker. Old Nie was always giggling, but at this moment, he couldn't control his loss. He was about to leave the arena he loved, and his state was no longer able to keep up with the high-intensity game... Very helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
Chi Shuo stood up, took the initiative to walk in front of Lao Nie and Aning, hugged the two teammates gently, and said in a low voice, "Don't feel guilty, losing the game is not the reason for the two of you. Big and small Zhao flashes to cut the back row and change No shooter in the league can escape."
Old Nie hugged Chi Shuo tightly with tears in his eyes: "Next season, come on."
Chi Shuo nodded: "Yes."
The five people hugged each other, Old Nie and Song Yuning's eyes were red, Chi Shuo still had a calm expression, no matter how much pressure he was under, he was used to hiding it in his heart.
Players in the soundproof room cannot carry mobile phones, and he can only see the information sent to him by Ye Shaoyang after the game.
Zhao Xinping of the Beimu team brought the players over to shake hands.
Chi Shuo turned around and shook hands with them politely. Zhao Xinping didn't say a word, but Zhao Xin'an ran over to comfort Lao Nie: "I'm sorry, it was a coincidence that you won in the last round. You still want to broadcast live after you retire, right? Let’s play ranked together when we have time!”
Old Nie couldn't help laughing: "Has your live broadcast room been unblocked?"
Zhao Xinan scratched his head: "Ah, not yet, I won't scold people in the future, fuck."
Old Nie's mood has been adjusted, and he gently patted Zhao Xin'an on the shoulder, expressing that he doesn't mind.
The five Tianhuan sorted out their emotions and bowed out in the middle of the stage.
This is also the last time Nie Cheng and Song Yuning will stand on the stage of the professional league.
Ye Shaoyang looked at their backs, and his heart was a little sour.
Retirement is an ending that every e-sports player will face. Although Old Nie and Aning did not count as "retiring", but after playing with Tian Huan for so many years, when they finally left, their backs were still straight.
The past few years have been an unforgettable experience for them, right
In the comment box after the game, the commentators also gave high praise to the game: "Today's game is really exciting! The winning Beimu team performed well, the bilateral lineup is fierce, and the cooperation between the big and small Zhao sisters and brothers is still the same. A tacit understanding. However, we also want to give Tianhuan the applause."
"Tianhuan's tenacity in the face of adversity is admirable. Their journey this season is over. I hope this team will make a good adjustment after returning and present us with more exciting games next season!"
"Friends from the audience, the match of Tianhuan VS Beimu, the loser of the S9 playoffs, will be broadcast live here for everyone. See you next Saturday."
The big screen began to play the wonderful replay of the game, and the audience began to leave in an orderly manner.
Ye Shaoyang walked out of the VIP channel with his younger brother.
The subway in Star City was out of service at 12:00 pm, and now at 11:30, there is still time to take the subway home.
The two didn't talk the whole way. After returning home, Qin Rui changed his shoes and said, "Brother, didn't Team Chi invite you to join Tianhuan before? How are you thinking, do you want to help them? "
Xiao Rui is still emotional, maybe he was a little sad when he saw Tianhuan lose, so he wanted his brother to help. Ye Shaoyang leaned over to change his shoes and patted his brother's shoulder with a smile: "Joining a team is not a child's play. I joined Tianhuan not to be a savior to help them... but, Tianhuan and I can achieve each other."
Qin Rui looked up at Ye Shaoyang, as if he didn't quite understand what his brother said.
Ye Shaoyang said: "The player and the team have always been a two-way choice. The team finds a player that suits them, and the players also want to join the team that suits them. You will understand later."
Qin Rui scratched his head and thought carefully about the meaning of his brother's words. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Brother, what did you just say? Do you want to join Tianhuan?!"
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Have you found the point?"
Qin Rui said excitedly: "great! Then have you told Team Chi?"
Ye Shaoyang said: "I sent a message, but he probably hasn't seen it yet."
During the competition, the mobile phones of the players were all handed over to the team leader Sister Tang Can for safekeeping. As soon as Tang Can saw Chi Shuo in the background, he said, "Team Chi, your mobile phone rang just now. There seems to be some information. I didn't dare to read it."
Chi Shuo took the phone from her and clicked on WeChat—
"You're the best captain I've ever seen."
"If I am lucky, next season, I am willing to be by your side and fight side by side with you."
The mood that was originally shrouded in the haze seemed to suddenly shone into a ray of sunshine, and Chi Shuo also showed a smile on his serious face, and quickly typed back: "I took a screenshot, don't go back."
Ye Shaoyang was lying on the bed just after taking a shower, when he saw that his phone was on, it was Team Chi's reply. He immediately replied earnestly: "I'm not someone who goes back on his word. I've been thinking about joining Tianhuan for a long time."
Chi Shuo: "Really decided?"
Ye Shaoyang: "Of course. Now the problem is up to you. I don't care about the signing fee, but I only play mid-laner. Will Qu Jiang be transferred to the assistant? Will the coach let me start? These problems need to be solved."
Chi Shuo said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to convince them."
Ye Shaoyang said: "After all, I am a 21-year-old rookie. Most coaches will not agree to let me start. Before you negotiate with them, I will try to get as many national clothes as possible, so that you can be more confident."
Chi Shuo: "I think your Goddess of Frost and Goddess of Destiny are going to have national uniforms soon, right?"
Ye Shaoyang: "Well, if there is no accident, the ranking will be settled next Monday, and these two will be available."
Chi Shuo was silent for a moment, then typed: "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you win for the signing fee. Because in my eyes, your value is as good as the top mid laner in the league, and I don't want you to be wronged."
When Ye Shaoyang saw this sentence, his heart warmed slightly.
With his current conditions, let alone the treatment of the top mid laners, a giant team like Tianhuan is willing to sign him, as long as he is allowed to play the starting mid laner, he can even not pay a penny for the signing fee. He just wants to realize his dream, he really doesn't care if he has more money and less money.
But if Tianhuan paid enough attention to him and let him sign the contract at a high price, then of course it would be the best, which would also prove his worth.
Ye Shaoyang replied, "Thank you, Team Chi. You should go back to rest first, and let the players take a break. I'm not in a hurry. Since I agreed to join Tianhuan, I won't go to another team."
Chi Shuo was relieved and said, "Okay, you also go to bed earlier, good night."
Ye Shaoyang waved goodbye.
All Tianhuan members did not go back to the hotel, but went to the nearby for supper. The restaurant was ordered by team leader Tang Can long ago. If he won, it would be a celebration banquet; if he lost, it would be a farewell dinner for Lao Nie and Aning.
Today's results were unsatisfactory, and Chi Shuo had already expected it.
Tianhuan's journey this season has come to an end, let alone the World Series, he has not even made it to the domestic finals. In the whole year of competition, without winning any trophies, everyone was actually very sad.
Coach Lin said with a smile: "Anyway, there is no game next, everyone is allowed to drink tonight!"
Old Nie took the initiative to open a bottle of wine, took a deep breath and held back tears, raised his glass with a smile and said, "A Ning and I will not be here next season, but we will continue to pay attention to Tianhuan. For the rest, you want to Keep up the good work! If one day, you can win the world championship, let me live broadcast and change women's clothes!"
Song Yuning stopped him dumbfoundedly: "You don't have to, right?"
Coach Lin joked: "In order to watch Lao Nie live and change into women's clothes, we have to realize his wish. Did someone record it just now? Don't be rude!"
Qu Jiang shook the phone in his hand: "I recorded it, so that he won't admit it. Last time I said that I would eat keyboards live, but I ended up buying a chocolate-flavored keyboard. What a shame!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Although Chi Shuo's expression was calm, there was a rare trace of gentleness in his eyes.
These teammates followed him for three years, just like his family.
Although it was not a happy ending, he knew that Nie Cheng and Song Yuning did not regret joining Tianhuan.
In S6, the bot lane duo of Nie Cheng and Song Yuning were at their peak, and they entered the World Series with the previous captain, Chi Shuo's Master Ming.
That was the closest year Tianhuan came to the world championship.
However, the finals lost 3:4, and everyone could only watch the foreign team win the championship trophy. At that time, the unwillingness in Nie's eyes and the tears in Song Yuning's eyes are still deeply engraved in the pool. Shuo's mind. Chi Shuo was only 18 years old that year, but at that moment, he set himself a goal—
He must bring Tianhuan back to the stage of the world finals and regain the lost trophy!
In the next three years, Tianhuan's staff was adjusted, the mid laner was replaced by Qu Jiang, the top laner was replaced by Qin Yizhu, Nie Cheng and Song Yuning, as veteran players, persisted until the S9 season, and finally had no choice but to retire.
Chi Shuo took the initiative to raise his glass, looked at the two old players and said, "This glass of wine toasts you, thank you for your trust in the past three years. Don't worry, I will continue to walk with your unfulfilled wishes."
Old Nie wiped his eyes, choked and said, "Team Chi, you have worked hard these past few years."
After the S6 World Championship, the Ming team retired too suddenly. Chi Shuo was the captain who was appointed to take over when he was in danger.
How he survived, only Tianhuan's people know his hardships, which is why the team members respect him so much.
Chi Shuo patted Old Nie on the shoulder lightly, without saying anything, he drank the wine in his hand.
Everyone didn't say any more dejected words, they happily ate and drank, and said goodbye to Nie Cheng and Song Yuning.
Old Nie got drunk and was carried back to the hotel by everyone. Chi Shuo was a good drinker, and even though he drank a few glasses, he remained sober all the time.
After returning to the hotel, he turned on his mobile phone and saw—
There are indeed many black fans under his personal Weibo who are sneering and sneering.
"Chi Shuo's debut is at the peak, and it has been going downhill!"
"After the Ming team retires, Tian Huan can't do it, what does that mean? The new captain can't do it!"
"S6 reached the global finals, S7 had a bronze medal in the domestic competition, S8 didn't even have the top four, S9 went directly to the playoffs, and the results have been declining! S10, don't you want to play the relegation match? Relegated to the secondary The league would be hilarious."
"Ban was released in the fifth game, and Chi Shuo didn't even dare to take [Blood Clothes Assassin]. I was still waiting to see him kill the Quartet, but he was cowardly. I've liked him for so many years."
Chi Shuo frowned and ignored these comments.
He has always been a very controversial player. When S6 debuted too high, he directly entered the global finals. His [Blood Clothes Assassin] is also the hero who has won the most five kills in the history of the league. In the next few years, his performance declined. Some fans hated that iron is not steel, and some fans turned black and turned back to criticize him, but he didn't care.
All he has to do is stick to his heart.
He believes that with Xiaobai joining next season, Tianhuan will definitely be able to break through the predicament.
Chi Shuo turned off his phone and fell asleep.
The next morning, he got up and watched Xiaobai's live broadcast.
I don't know how Sister Mu and Xiaobai met, they ranked together early in the morning.
Sister Mu has a very good consciousness and a good temper. With her assistance, Xiaobai's winning rate has taken off directly, and the combat power of MVP and [Goddess of Destiny] has been rapidly improved.
With such a winning rate and record, it should not be a problem to win two national servers in a week.
On Saturday night, Tang Can posted a message in the group: "I have a flight to the Imperial Capital tomorrow at 11:00 am. I have an appointment. Everyone remember to set the alarm clock and don't oversleep."
Tianhuan won't have a match next time. Of course, they don't have to stay in Star City. They also need to spend money every day to stay in a hotel, so the club asked them to return to the base collectively.
Chi Shuo was not good at acting alone, so he returned to the imperial capital with the team.
On Sunday night, the training room of Tianhuan Base.
There is no competition next time, so the training tasks are also relatively loose. Coach Lin sat next to him with a cup of tea and watched the video of foreign games while drinking.
At 0:00 in the morning, Chi Shuo suddenly sent a screenshot to Coach Lin.
It is a screenshot of the live room, two system text messages—
[Congratulations, your hero [Goddess of Frost] ranked first in the country with 12,000 combat power in last week's combat power settlement, and won the title of [First Goddess of Frost in National Service]! 】
[Congratulations, your hero [Goddess of Destiny] ranked first in the country with 12,000 combat power in last week's battle power settlement, and won the title of [First Goddess of Destiny in National Service]! 】
Coach Lin saw the familiar white puppet cat in the lower right corner of the screenshot, and was stunned for a while, then looked back at Chi Shuo: "Little Bai anchor? He got 2 more national uniforms?"
Chi Shuo said: "Yes, and it was won within a week."
Coach Lin immediately came to Chi Shuo's computer, and he found that Chi Shuo was watching Xiaobai's live broadcast. Since Xiaobai got two national clothes at the same time, countless netizens swiped gifts in the live broadcast room, and even Sister Mu also swiped a few torpedoes.
Xiaobai came from Chi Shuo's earphone with a laughing voice: "Thank you for the torpedo of Fan No. 1, thank you for the torpedo that is ranked every day, and thank you sister Mu for the torpedo. I'm going to sleep first, I will use the [Goddess of Flame] next week. Try it with [Goddess of Thunder] on the national service."
The barrage in the live broadcast room is about to go crazy—
[The anchor is so floating, this time to float out of the universe? 】
【Are you playing a stamp collecting game? Treat the national service standard as a collectible? ! 】
[Goddess of Frost and Goddess of Destiny have obtained the national standard, next week will be flames and thunder, and next week will be oceans and storms, right? Do you want to collect the national uniforms of the six goddesses? 】
[I just like the anchor who speaks madly like you and can actually make it happen! 】
Coach Lin frowned suspiciously: "Who is this little white? The speed of getting the national uniform is too fast. I remember the last time I watched his live broadcast, he only got the national uniform standard of [Abyss Master]. "
Chi Shuo looked back at the coach and said in a low voice, "What if I said that Xiaobai has the talent to play professionally?"
After he said that, he sent an e-sports player talent test sheet from the Star City Youth Training Base to Coach Lin.
Coach Lin looked down—
5 S Ratings for Bling!
Incredibly talented player!
Coach Lin seemed to have been hit by a pie in the sky, his eyes lit up: "Quickly find a way to reach him!"
Chi Shuo said calmly: "I have contacted privately, and he is willing to join our Tianhuan."
Coach Lin: "..."
Wait, when did you meet Xiaobai in private? How can the speed of the shot be faster than the coach!
