The first match of the new EPL season is scheduled for September 12th. In the last half a month of the countdown, as the transfer window is about to close, major clubs are taking turns to make big moves, and the online turmoil is round after round. There are new explosions almost every day. point.
Stepping on the end of the countdown, SP bought a substitute top laner, who was picked by Cheng Su Nian, who is 17 this year, and is a rookie who has performed very well in the secondary league. And an 18-year-old assistant who came from SP youth training and was promoted to the first team to serve as Cheng Sunian's substitute.
The original second team of SP also had personnel changes, and the overall changes were not big.
In addition to SP, several other traditional strong teams, such as Scorpion, bought a strong ADC, a mid laner, and a jungler, all of whom are well-known players. one.
Another powerful WSND team has a new mid laner commander. I don't know how good it is. It is said that it is the hidden killer of WSND. The Internet has already called it "Zhuge was born".
On the last day of the closing of the transfer window, the Lion team, which is known as forming a quarter of the world with SP, Scorpion, and WSND, officially announced a big news that shocked the entire e-sports circle—they bought a player at a sky-high price. Korean aid AD, named Jin Zhixiu, he was the winner of the best ADC of the year in the EOH Korea League last year.
It is conceivable how much energy Lion has spent digging out the core of the South Korean team and bringing the most promising AD in the entire league to China, and their ambitions for the new season can also be seen.
But as soon as Jin Zhixiu came, the EPL was already in a severe situation, and it directly became a "fairy fight".
However, the audience said it was enjoyable and there was a good show to watch, but the bottom laners were under a lot of pressure. In other words, in this year's new season, every club was under tremendous pressure, and success or failure.
Especially SP, SP has not had a championship for two years, and this is the third year.
"Three years" is a very delicate time point. It will take only a few years to go from a wealthy family to a poor one. SP is now stuck at such an embarrassing node and must not fail again.
And the pressure on SP is always intuitively reflected in Cheng Sunian. People are like this. As much as they have the right to speak, they have to bear multiple responsibilities.
Cheng Sunian is a person who doesn't complain, he doesn't show it on the surface, but Feng Can accidentally discovered that the ashtray beside his bed was fuller than usual, and he unconsciously frowned more during the training games.
Originally, Feng Can was still a little awkward, he had a feeling that was ready to move, but he couldn't figure out what it was, so there was always friction in getting along with Cheng Suinian, and he couldn't find a suitable safe distance.
But the new season is about to start, and the so-called foreign affairs must be settled first. In the heavy training day after day, there is no extra time for him to make troubles.
Cheng Sunian may also be aware of the importance of harmony within the team. Recently, he has a very good attitude towards him. He also created a program called "Support and ADC's bedtime talk". Every night, I would talk to him for ten minutes, mainly talking about today's training experience. , to help him relax and relieve stress.
This show started last week, when they were invited by the official to shoot the league promotional video for the new season.
The promotional video is an old routine every year. In the film, every first-team player of the EPL club will appear, but relatively speaking, there will be slightly more shots of star players.
After filming the promotional video, they took photos of the team's makeup. After a long day of tossing, the leader of SP, Miss Rong, took them to dinner. At the dinner table, Li Xiuming showed everyone the main lineups of each team for the new season compiled by the media.
The most eye-catching one is naturally the bot lane lineup. I don’t know what’s going on this year. It may be related to the fact that the meta is leaning towards the bot lane. There are so many powerful ADCs in the league. If any team doesn’t have a talented AD, it’s embarrassing to say that they are EPL professionals. Team up.
Feng Can didn't feel much about it. To him, there was no essential difference between one competitor and ten competitors. If he wanted to be the number one, his eyes would always be fixed on the highest position. Who would care how many underdogs would be defeated under the throne?
This is what he said at the dinner table. After he finished speaking, everyone laughed wildly, saying that Kaihuang is worthy of being the man who trampled the entire e-sports circle under his feet. "heroic nature".
Feng Can couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Cheng Sunian. Cheng Sunian didn't say anything at the time, but he talked to him at night, afraid that he would save face with his mouth and suffocate the pressure in his heart.
Coincidentally, Feng Can also really wanted to talk to Cheng Sunian, he wanted to ask: There are so many so-called "genius ADs" out there, do you think I'm the most genius
But after a week of nightly talk shows, he didn't ask that question either.
——He doubted that Cheng Suinian, a bastard, would say "no".
Tuesday, September 11th is the last night before the start of the 11th EPL.
In the SP base, the strict regulations during the season began to be implemented-disconnecting the Internet and collecting mobile phones at night.
The phone was handed in, and the laptop couldn't connect to the internet, so Feng Can dutifully fell asleep. He remembered that Cheng Sunian didn't seem to be asleep before he fell asleep, but when he opened his eyes the next morning, Cheng Sunian had already woken up early.
Today is the first match day of the new season. The first match is the Scorpion team VSSLion team.
Originally, it was not Lion playing Scorpion on the schedule. However, after the official announcement of Korean aid AD Kim Ji-soo, the league officials temporarily made excuses and changed the schedule.
This coquettish operation can be described as full of scolding, but so what? Now there is a gimmick of "the top ADC in the national server and the first ADC in the Korean server". The topic is full, the ratings are not worrying, and everyone is happy.
SP is the second game today, against UG, Feng Can's former team, obviously this was also deliberately arranged by the officials.
But it is relatively friendly to SP.
When Scorpion and Lion were playing, the entire SP team watched the live broadcast in the backstage lounge of the venue.
Feng Can sat with Cheng Sunian, and he kept staring at the screen.
On the screen are Xu Xiang, the so-called No. 1 ADC in the national server, and Kim Ji-soo, the No. 1 ADC in the Korean server. They are fighting for the new No. 1 in the EPL. No matter who wins or loses today, there will be a storm of public opinion.
But now Feng Can was watching them from the audience, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Not convinced, of course not.
He has always been unconvinced, whether he is young and energetic or not clear how much he is, he always thinks that he is the strongest.
But the audience obviously didn't think so, and the league officials didn't think so either. The first match belonged to Scorpion, and it wasn't his turn—although he would be ridiculed if he lost, but those who couldn't make it to the battlefield didn't even have the right to be ridiculed.
Feng Can's heart was filled with inexplicable emotions, sore and swollen, which made his heart beat slightly faster.
However, to everyone's surprise, in a BO3 match, Xu Xiang used a black gun to carry two games, Scorpion beat Lion to 2-0, and Jin Zhixiu did not perform at all in the Korean League.
The commentator said that he just came to EPL, and he may not have adjusted well, and he was not acclimatized.
Cheng Sunian also thinks this way, but the so-called "run-in" is easier said than done, especially in the bottom lane combination, some support and AD have different personalities, and some have different styles on the field. If you want to find the most compatible partner and play tacitly, Playing a level of 1+1 greater than 2 is actually the same as finding a partner, it depends on luck.
Finally, the match between Scorpion and Lion was over, and the post-match interview was also over, and it was the turn of SP and UG.
Before going on stage, Cheng Su Nian said a few words as usual, his eyes swept over Li Xiuming, Zhao Zhou, Gao Xinsi and Feng Can, smiled and said: "It's all right? It's a small scene, who is nervous? Raise your hand."
Gao Xinsi cowardly raised her paw.
Not surprisingly, their mid laner Xiao Gao was the champion of the hand-raising contest, and Cheng Sunian reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Then the whole team left the lounge and went to the front stage with the staff.
Cheng Sunian walked behind, looked up, there were few people in front, and Feng Can was still standing at the door.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"… nothing."
Feng Can's voice was a little soft, he didn't expect that he would be nervous before the battle, he was obviously fine just now. But now he is really nervous, and Cheng Sunian found out, which makes him a little embarrassed.
"I'm fine." Feng Can's ears felt slightly hot, and he tried to explain it.
Cheng Sunian saw through him.
"Don't be nervous." Cheng Sunian took a few steps back and stood in front of him.
Just when Feng Can thought he needed to say a few more words of encouragement or teach him a lesson, Cheng Sunian suddenly reached out and hugged him.
In a very short two seconds, Feng Can's heart skipped a beat as he hugged her with a light tobacco smell and bright warmth, and a sentence came out of his ears: "It's okay, don't be afraid." (End of this chapter)
