North America hosts the Star Cup with the Dawn Warning every year. This year's Cup is just two months before WCAD, which can be regarded as an official warm-up for WCAD.
The entry threshold for the Star Cup is very high. Basically, only the top 30 North American teams in the world can participate. Naturally, this includes the American Lincoln team, which has always competed with the Swiss Odin team in the WCAD championship and runner-up.
Shao Han sat down on the sofa, Wang Yuxi sat on the side, his eyes swept up and down on Shao Han's waist and abdomen, couldn't help but very graciously handed over a pillow, and said concerned: "Brother Shao, lean on a pillow to be more comfortable."
Shao Han was taken aback for a moment, and he felt embarrassed and embarrassed on his face. He wondered if they heard it last night? No way? Is it so loud
Yaosen walked over and sat down next to Shao Han, took Wang Yuxi's pillow, and said to Shao Han: "Come on, lean on."
Shao Han glared at Yaosen slightly, and put the pillow behind his waist. The two of them sat in the corner of the sofa. The eyes of the people around them fell on the big screen. Few people paid attention to them. Shao Han quietly relaxed a little and leaned on Yaosen.
Every time they finish Shao Han, they become more clingy than usual, making Yaosen just want to treat the people around him as carrots and cabbage and hug his big baby. Although this situation will not last long, the big baby will return to the original cool look after being warmed up for a while, but now even the cool Shao Hanyao Sen can use the filters in his heart to sum up 800. Cute.
Yaosen coughed, worthy of taking back the intellectual burden of his Asian champion and the male god of e-sports, and focused his attention on the broadcast of the game.
The Lincoln team has three players ranked in the top ten in the world, and the average ranking of the players is equal to that of the Odin team. The main player of the Lincoln team, Kevin, is a comprehensive player. Although he is placed in the ranking of auxiliary players most of the time, he can definitely rank in the top eight in the world in terms of shooting rate, which is second to none in the world. Such a strong player.
There is no preliminary or semi-final in the Stars Cup, and a three-game double-loss system is used to get the championship, second and third place. Lincoln's first game was with a team from Canada. As a top star player in North America and the world, the camera often cuts Kevin's close-up.
Kevin was very calm throughout the game, his expression didn't even change. There are always people in the circle joking, saying that it is said that the only people who have successfully changed Kevin's expression in the game are Odin's Ethan and Lu Kaizhi, who has beaten him once.
In this game, Lincoln scored three to zero, and Yao Sen had only one feeling from the whole process, that is, really strong people will not get lucky. The feeling of watching the Lincoln team is completely different from watching the Odin team. The two teams with the greatest chance of winning have different styles, but they all have the same outstanding feature, that is, the almost seamless teamwork.
E-sports is a team competition. No matter how strong a player is, he will not choose a personal show. Compared with the two teams, the first team of Titans is still very young, and the teamwork experience is far from enough. Most of the time, it still relies on the command of Yaosen instead of the tactics between the players like the truly experienced team. There is a great tacit agreement in the arrangement, which can save a lot of unnecessary time.
Yaosen looked at the Lincoln team, who was shaking hands with their opponents on the big screen to thank him, frowned slightly, thinking about the shortcomings of his own team in his heart.
Shao Han noticed Yaosen's expression and asked softly: "What's the matter?"
Shao Han's voice was like a cool breeze after a rain, and it blew away most of the urgency in Yaosen's heart. Yaosen raised the corner of his mouth and replied, "It's okay."
Shao Han looked at Yaosen, faintly understood. With only two months left before WCAD, Yao Sen, as the captain of the Titans, has much more pressure and urgency than other players. It is not only because of the captain's identity that shoulders greater responsibility, but also the Titans, as the dark horse Asian champion team, is naturally given high hopes of being able to compete with the global veteran team.
The expectations of others are far easier to bring huge pressure to people than their own requirements, and Shao Han understands this deeply. He put his palm on Yaosen's arm beside him, touched it gently, and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
After Yaosen paused, there was a warm current in his heart, thinking that my baby was so heart-warming, he couldn't help but kiss Shao Han on the cheek with his head. This scene was accidentally seen by Wang Yuxi, and he suddenly turned his head and didn't look at it.
Like WCAD, each team in the Star Cup generally has two games a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon or evening. There are not many participating teams this year, and the competition can be completed within two or three days.
On the last night when everyone went out on vacation, they also happened to be the winners, runners and runners-up of the Star Cup. The Lincoln team is a well-deserved champion, and Kevin once again won the title of best star player in this year's North American Star Cup.
Everyone knows that if Kevin does not retire for a day, this title will not fall into the hands of others.
Coach Gou accidentally spoke to the Titans team that night, telling everyone that an additional tactical coordination training will be added after the holiday. Tactical coordination training is different from ordinary tactical training in the past. Cooperative training pays more attention to the tacit understanding between players in tactics, and achieves the best cooperation with players under the premise of having their own independent judgment of the battle situation.
Wang Yuxi was surprised: "Why did Lao Gou suddenly remember to give us extra training?"
"I proposed it."
The Titans all looked at Yaosen who was sitting on the corner sofa. He looked up at the other four, smiled and said, "I think we need to improve in this area."
Wang Yuxi: "... You are not Yaosen, get Yaosen back soon."
Wang Yuxi has known Yaosen for so long, and the number of times Yaosen has offered to increase training is countless. Because Yao Sen is really strong, maintaining normal training is enough to make it hard for ordinary players to stand up to it. Usually, he occasionally steals a little lazy, so the captain of the Buddha department actually took the initiative to say that he needs additional training—
He said: "Is it because of the Lincoln game? Brother, don't be too stressed."
"Anyone who has a boyfriend should be more demanding of themselves." Yaosen squinted at him slightly, "Why, you don't want to train?"
"...No, no, I want to train. I agree with my hands and feet to train." Wang Yuxi was blanked out by Yaosen's previous sentence, and then quickly expressed his sincere sincerity, "We are not watching you manage everything in the daytime." …It’s very hard to sniper thousands of people a day, seven times a night at night."
Yao Sen: "Thank you, no hard work."
After coming back from the May Day holiday, the five Titans went into the tactical coordination training that Coach Gou efficiently formulated. The problem of teamwork among players is always an iron wall that needs to be climbed. It is indeed time-consuming and laborious to first understand the meaning of tactical coordination and training methods theoretically, and then draw experience from countless actual combat training.
The tactical coordination training began, and the original training plan could not be left behind. Most of the time was basically spent in such a busy schedule.
As the captain, Yao Sen not only has his own training, but also takes the whole team to train with him. Over the past twenty days, he feels that his insomnia has been cured by the exhaustion after training.
Fortunately, all training intensity will slowly decrease after June, and finally maintain to a normal level. This is the only thing everyone can hope for now.
After the training on this day, Yaosen and Wang Yuxi went straight back to the dormitory. They just turned the corner of the hallway in the dormitory area and saw a figure leaning against the wall next to the door of the 1522 dormitory.
Hearing the footsteps, Shao Han turned his head, and he carried a transparent plastic bag in his hand, which seemed to contain a packing box.
"Shao Han, why are you here?" Yaosen paused in surprise, turned his head to look at Wang Yuxi, and ordered: "Pharaoh, you go to 1524 first, and I ask you to come back and then you come back."
"You don't need to say that I will go too." Wang Yuxi gritted his teeth and said to Yao Sen, "I only ask you to take care of your Xiaosen in the dormitory."
After that, Wang Yuxi smiled enthusiastically and nodded with Shao Han, and went straight to the dormitory of 1524 Baiyue.
Yaosen opened the bedroom door and pulled Shao Han in. After Shao Han entered the door, he put the plastic bag in his hand on the table, opened the lunch box inside, and suddenly a fresh and pleasant fragrance of porridge wafted out. Shao Han said: "Today the team went out for supper. You can eat the packed sea cucumber porridge while it's hot."
Look, this is his little Zuo, not only pleasing to the eyes, but also appreciating the stomach.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Yaosen hugged him from behind, feeling helpless and sweet, "How long have you been waiting here?"
"It didn't take long." Shao Han replied softly, "I thought you had finished training. I didn't expect you to have additional training. Have you been training so late recently?"
"Yeah." In front of her boyfriend, Yaosen just wanted to vent, without hiding anything, and circled Shao Han and kissed him, "I was so tired that my insomnia was cured."
Shao Han felt a pain in his heart: "Hurry up and drink porridge."
After a bowl of hot porridge went down to warm his stomach and heart, Yaosen felt that he was so energetic that he could rush back to the training room for another three hours. He pulled Shao Han onto the bed and sat down, and lay on Shao Han's lap.
With pliable thighs resting on the back of his head, Yaosen closed his eyes comfortably, Shao Han was itchy by his pillow, and moved his thigh uncomfortably. Yaosen smiled and patted Shao Han's buttocks gently: "Don't move."
Shao Han's face blushed slightly, and he simply let him go.
At this time, Shao Han's cell phone rang, he took out his cell phone, saw the caller, gave Yaosen a push, and coughed slightly, "It's my dad."
The father-in-law naturally had to converge on the phone, and nodded his head to indicate that he would not make trouble.
"Hey, Dad." Shao Han answered the phone, "Why call me so late?"
Shao Han's father is a university law professor, and he occasionally goes to universities in various cities to give lectures. I heard from my father that he happened to be going to a university in a neighboring city of S city to hold an academic seminar the day after tomorrow, so he wanted to stop by and see Shao Han.
Shao Han: "Well, good."
After a few seconds, Yaosen noticed a slight change in Shao Han's expression, and there seemed to be a bit of unexpected panic in his eyes, and his tone became a little nervous: "... Well, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Yaosen asked, "What did your dad say?"
"He said he came to see me..." Shao Han replied, "...I want to see you too."
