On the day of the MA competition, the team promotional videos of MA and YSP were constantly repeated on the TV screen.
The background music drums are very heavy and it sounds very burning.
Mu Wanwan sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. Originally they wanted to go to the live show, but after Brother Yang came back, he said that it was not a domestic venue, and the security could not explain properly, so they finally decided to watch the live broadcast at the hotel.
Now the player interviews are still being released, so the one interviewed by MA is naturally Xu Hao.
"Don't tell me, this Shark, he looks handsome with black hair." Little Roubao said, "The white hair before, looks like Nima Shamat's non-mainstream."
"What, have you changed your mind?" Mu Wanwan asked.
Little Roubao was startled: "Why did I change my heart? Who is my heart on?"
"I also think his hair color looks much better. I don't know what he thought before. He went to dye his hair with white hair." Brother Hu said, "But it's weird, why did he grow old after dyeing his hair black? Is it a loss?"
Pei Lu's hand making coffee paused: "You look at things in a strange way."
He made coffee, poured it into Mu Wanwan's thermos, put it on the table, and was ready to go out.
Mu Wanwan quickly grabbed his wrist: "Where are you going?"
"Go out and call my mom," Pei Lu said, "Do you want to talk to her?"
Mu Wanwan immediately retracted her hand: "...you go."
Pei Lu didn't force her, he rubbed her hair, turned around and left.
"Why, haven't you seen it before?" Little Roubao asked.
"Why are you so gossip..." Mu Wanwan said, "I'm just not very good at chatting with elders."
Her father left early, and her grandparents were gone, so she basically had no communication with her father's relatives. Especially in the past few years, she didn't go to New Year's greetings during the holidays. The main reason is that people on both sides are relatively strangers. Rather embarrassing.
Apart from visiting grandma occasionally with the shepherd mother, I really don't have any close relatives.
What else did Little Roubao say, but Mu Wanwan didn't listen carefully because the phone she was holding vibrated slightly.
[Lin Jiu: Little sister, don't buy me anything.]
[Lan: What's wrong?]
[Lin Jiu: [Location: South Korea]]
Mu Wanwan sent a series of question marks over.
[Wan: Did you come by yourself, or with a group?]
[Lin Jiu: Myself.]
[Lan: Is there a place to live? If not, I can ask Brother Yang to help you arrange the room... why don't you tell me in advance.]
[Lin Jiu: I also made a temporary decision. It's okay. I've already found a hotel.]
[Wan: Oh, where are you now? Why is the location only posted in South Korea?]
Lin Jiu didn't reply.
[Wan: You shouldn't be at the game site, are you?]
[Lin Jiu: Hahaha how is that possible.]
[Wan: I saw you in the camera.]
[Lin Jiu: Damn, what a stupid camera... I just came here, just to take a look.]
[Wan: Actually, the camera didn't capture you, so I lied to you.]
[Lin Jiu: Mu Wanwan, have you ever eaten fists from Chongqing?]
[Night:…]
A burst of music sounded, and the game started.
The schedule after the knockout round is BO5, and the first shot is the YSP players.
The YSP team members were all smiling, and they didn't know what topic they were talking about. The five of them laughed together and sat up for a long time.
Commentator A said: "Today's YSP is very relaxed."
"Yes. After all, MA's record against them in the group stage was not very optimistic." Unlock B said, "It's okay, it's also a good thing to let YSP relax their vigilance!"
The camera cuts to MA.
Contrary to YSP, the players of MA all had serious faces, and it could be seen that the pressure was extremely high.
MA did not make it to the quarterfinals in last year's global finals. If it still fails to make it out of the knockout round this year, it may be blacked out.
When Pei Lu came in, he just entered the game.
In this round, Xu Hao won his popular hero of the past two years, the Tsar.
"Is it true that YSP doesn't pay attention to MA? The Tsar is also willing to let it go?" Xiao Roubao frowned.
Brother Hu said: "You don't even look at what Secret is playing, Kassadin, let me hit you stupid with a sudden face."
"Hey, you don't understand." Little Roubao said, "If Shark's Tsar can be restrained by heroes, everyone won't need to ban Tsar every game."
When Pei Lu returned to his seat, Mu Wanwan asked, "Do you think the Tsar can win this round?"
Looking at the lineup, playing wild boar girl and top lane stone are all big control heroes paving the way for the czar. As long as the Tsar can carry in this round, MA basically wins.
When Mu Wanwan participated in the game, she knew whether she could fight or not. Once she was separated from the game by a screen, she couldn't figure out anything except for the bottom lane.
"Yes." Pei Lu said firmly, "It's not without reason that he can occupy the top mid laner position in LPL for so long."
Sure enough, during the laning period, Secret's Kassadin did not get any benefits. Every time he came to the face, he was dodged by the czar with the E skill displacement. Xu Hao knew how much the opponent wanted to kill him with the face, and the skill was in his hand Hold tight.
The pig girl seems to have gotten some information, and she basically never came to the middle lane. It looks like she is stocking up. In fact, neither the three wolves nor F6 moved, and they are reserved for the czar. Fearing that the opponent would take advantage of their bottom lane, Zhu Mei basically lived in the bottom lane in the early stage, and even the stone man had a flash in his body.
Under this kind of double protection, the bottom lane finally passed the laning period without any success.
"YSP's AD is a bit fierce." Xiao Roubao couldn't help but tut as he watched the beautifully operated EZ on the screen.
Mu Wanwan took a sip of coffee and said, "It's okay, your team's AD is stronger."
Little Roubao: "..." Although he wanted to refute it, it sounded like the truth. Participants in the game can feel the strength of teammates more than spectators.
He said, "Then your team's mid laner is also pretty good."
Before Mu Wanwan could speak, Brother Hu opened his mouth first: "Baozi, turn around and let me have a look."
"Look at what?"
"See if you blush."
"roll!"
After a wave of team battles, Shitou and Zhumei didn't have a flash and the distance was not enough. Xu Hao wandered around for a long time. After making sure that none of his teammates had flashed, he almost didn't hesitate. three people—
Their lineup is basically the same as the first control, so don't even think about moving. After the pig girl's skill CD is completed, take the lead in Q shift, step forward, and then throw a big move! The stone ran to the destination lumberingly, hitting three people flying!
With this kind of three-game control, coupled with the protection of Fengnv in the team, even a diamond-level ADC knows how to fight. Although MA's substitute AD is not as good as the starting player, he is still capable. Big Mouth directly opened W and spit crazily not far away, and cooperated with the Tsar to deal explosive damage!
The rhythm of this wave was too fierce. After winning this wave, MA took over the big dragon and the fire dragon by the way, and established a big advantage.
YSP obviously didn't expect to roll over, and the smiles on their faces finally subsided a lot.
Another wave of big team battles. After the previous wave of team battles, the Tsar's equipment has been formed. The AD on the opposite side has to hide when he sees him. The Tsar has no intention of going to the back row to cut the AD. He faces the front row It's just a mess of poking!
"The damage is really high!" Brother Hu felt pain when he looked at it.
Although some people in the front row have already released magic resistance equipment, their finances are limited, and most of them only produced a small piece, which cannot withstand the damage of the Tsar at all!
Kassadin wandered around, although he could cut it, but with Feng Nu, he couldn't cut Big Zui to death at all. After a moment of hesitation, his front row was already crippled.
Although it is a disadvantage, YSP has fought for many years and has a very good mentality. There is also a very peaceful string of Korean in the voice: "Retreat, retreat, retreat first."
It's a pity that there is no way to retreat at this time. The Tsar's deceleration was successfully given, and it was another combo of two nightmare ults.
Two front rows died, and AD didn't dare to go forward at all. MA pressed Kamikochi with a wave. The Tsar saw the timing and flashed again, and directly dropped the opponent's ADC in seconds!
Amidst the excited calls of "one wave, one wave" from the commentators, MA pushed down the opponent's base despite the harassment from Kassadin and the front row.
"Fuck!!" Xiao Roubao stood up amidst the cheers from the TV, "MA has hope!"
"Yeah." Pei Lu said, "If the other party plays Czar three times in a row."
Mu Wanwan raised her eyes to look at him: "... Isn't it only the tsar who can save him? Xu Hao played well with many heroes."
"If it was me." Pei Lu said, "I'll give Xu Hao to BAN."
Everyone didn't understand what Pei Lu meant until the next game.
In the second game, YSP completely overturned the tactics of the previous game, directly banning three mid laners, plus MA's own ban, and lost four mid laners at the beginning.
Little Roubao said: "It seems familiar. When the Spring Split just started, our AD was always banned."
Pei Lu seemed to be remembering that game, suddenly chuckled, and then said seriously: "If you want to say what Shark's shortcomings are, it's that his hero pool is not deep."
"MA pays too much attention to the version. In this version, they will train whatever hero is strong. In the past, his little murloc, bomber and even Akali were very strong. Now I haven't seen him practice much."
Sure enough, Shark took a Dragon King, and was targeted by the opponent from level 1 to level 6. Fortunately, the Dragon King replenished troops fairly easily, so he wouldn't miss too many swords, but Xiao could only choose to protect the middle lane where the possibility of carrying was more likely , causing the bottom road to reveal the big hole again.
YSP's bot lane duo got Lucian and Bron, and MA's bot lane duo had a hard time. Although Dragon King frequently drove to support the bot lane after level 6, the opposite jungler came in time. AD There is too much difference in the damage, it is useless at all.
In forty minutes, the Dragon King was controlled by the two opponents with flashes, and lost the most critical team battle and the second game.
Commentator A said: "It's okay! 1-1 tie! Ours is a BO5 competition system, and three out of five games is the real victory! We still have a lot of chances!!"
It's a pity that the opportunities are really stingy and won't give themselves to a team that is not ready.
In the next game, YSP came aggressively. They no longer underestimated their opponents because of the previous failure of MA. They put Xu Hao's heroes in the banned pool, and even two of them had exactly the same BAN position.
In the end, MA lost to YSP with a 1-3 record, and officially bid farewell to the stage of the global finals.
The audience stood up and cheered YSP's name, and the MA players left the field in dismay.
As soon as Xu Hao entered the lounge, he heard a soft sob.
It was Park Jae Joon, his glasses were placed on the table, his face was covered with his hands, trying desperately to hide his emotions.
The eye sockets of the others were also red, only Xu Hao still had a faint expression.
He stepped forward, raised his hand...and put it on Park Jae Joon's shoulder.
"do not Cry."
Park Jae-joon stammered: "It's all me, it's all my fault."
He has experienced countless victories and countless failures, but he has never felt more powerless than now.
He didn't lose in strength, nor did he lose in the slander and insults of that group of people, but he was left on the bench for the frustrating reason of a hand injury.
"Hey." Xu Hao frowned and called out to him.
Park Jae Joon was a little scared of him, but after thinking about it, he looked up and looked at him with red eyes: "?"
"..." Xu Hao opened his mouth for a long time, and finally gave up. He turned his head and said to Brother Cheng who was wiping tears not far away, "Forget it, I said that he can't understand such a long list anyway, you can find a translator to comfort you Him. We cry like this after losing a game. Others thought we couldn’t afford to lose. Soon it will be the Spring Split again. Instead of crying, it’s better to adjust your mentality and fight back when the injury heals.”
He seemed to be speaking to Brother Cheng, but he was actually speaking to other players.
Brother Cheng was about to say something, when the YSP players passed by their door, one of the players seemed a bit unbearable, and called Park Jae-joon's name into the room, and said a lot of words.
Park Jae-joon covered his eyes, waved his hands, and hummed loudly.
Later, everyone learned from the translator that what the YSP player said was: "Don't cry, see you next year."
Five minutes later, Park Jae Joon was finally coaxed by the translator.
Xu Hao frowned, and touched his pocket and touched the cigarette case.
He rolled his Adam's apple, took out the cigarette case, turned around and was about to go out, but when he saw the person standing at the door, he stopped in his tracks.
Lin Jiuzheng looked at him with a frown, holding an MA sign in his hand.
"I sent you so many WeChat messages, why don't you reply to me?" She said, "Do you know how difficult it is to sneak in?"
She stepped forward, picked up Xu Hao's cigarette case, and threw it into the trash can.
"I bought some small cakes." Without waiting for his answer, she said to herself, "I heard that eating some sweets will make you feel better."
Xiao wiped away tears: "Is there any for us, sister?"
"Yes, there are."
Unexpectedly, she would come, Xu Hao was stunned for a long time, and then took a bite of the cake she handed over.
…is sweeter than smoking pipes.
