At the beginning, Cheng Sunian agreed to sleep with Feng Can in order to get closer as soon as possible.
Sleeping together to cultivate tacit understanding may sound ridiculous, but the truth is very simple, just like the students who lived in the same dormitory when they were in school, even if their personalities are not compatible, it is easier to get acquainted.
The relationship between team members is more complicated than that of ordinary students. They are "comrades in arms" and need to trust each other and cooperate closely. Bad personal emotions greatly affect performance, which is by no means a small matter.
That night, Cheng Sunian lay in bed, thinking and thinking about Feng Can's performance all day today.
He didn't know if it was because he had reached retirement age, and he was extra cautious this year. He wished he could control the entire SP, including on and off the field, as long as everything was under his control, ensuring the chance of accidents. Only when he was at the lowest level could he feel a little more at ease.
But Feng Can himself is a capitalized "accident". He can choose to violently suppress it like before, but with Feng Can's dog temper, he may rebound, and there will be endless troubles with him.
Cheng Sunian didn't want to make the base run wild and people panic, but if he let it go, let Feng Can do whatever he wanted, wouldn't SP really become the second UG
As the saying goes, people are born in trouble and die in peace. Others can do their job well and don't think about anything else, but he is the captain, and his "duty" is to manage the SP well. He has to think about the long term.
The e-sports circle is a place where the rhythm is flying all over the sky. Now that they haven't lost, everyone is laughing and laughing, and they can do whatever they want.
When you lose a game in the future, or your results are not good or fluctuate, online Weibo forums and various traffic-earning media sharing conferences will start. Besides, Feng Can is a very popular player, with many fans and many blacks, he is undoubtedly the center of the hurricane. His wind is wrapped in the wind of SP, and the world must fall apart.
Of course, being scolded is secondary, mainly because public opinion will affect the mentality of the players, and even affect the relationship within the team.
Cheng Su Nian is a conductor. When his grades are good, his excellent commanding ability is praised to the sky. If his grades are not good, he is "team bully, cancer, and the number one player who blames him". He also got scolded and got used to it.
But he doesn't care, it doesn't mean that the other SP players don't care either.
Li Xiuming is one year younger than him. He is twenty-four this year. He is a veteran. His life as a top laner is coming to an end. Although this person is always glib and never sensational, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about his grades and doesn't want to win the championship. If you really don't care, who will insist on playing games at a young age? I retired early and became an anchor to make money.
Zhao Zhou is a simple-minded and straightforward person. He always writes "achievement" and "strength" on his face, and never hides it. If anyone drags the team back, he promises to be the first to be unhappy.
Gao Xinsi is the same age as Feng Can, but he is not as thick-skinned as Feng Can - to put it mildly, he is tough. Feng Can is not afraid of being scolded, but Xiao Gao is very glass-hearted and cowardly. Last year when his SP grades were not good and he was held by netizens every day, Gao Xinsi was the most affected person in the team.
To be honest, this is a five-person game, and no one is unimportant.
However, human beings are very complicated creatures. Everyone has shortcomings and may not perform well. It is impossible for Cheng Suinian to find four absolutely perfect and error-free people to form an impeccable team with himself. Take care of your SP—and take care of yourself too.
It's so difficult.
It's so difficult for him every year. The most difficult thing is that he used to be invincible in the same way. In the past two years, he has not changed, but SP is no longer brilliant.
Probably because not making progress is tantamount to regressing, and more strictly speaking, not making enough progress is also tantamount to regressing.
After all, with the expansion of the e-sports market in recent years, the professionalization of clubs has become higher and higher, and the competition in the entire industry has become more and more fierce. There are only a few people who can stand at the top, let alone always stand at the top
For nearly half the night, Cheng Sunian had no sleep at all.
It is necessary to think in the long run, but the most urgent thing is to solve this little boy Feng Can's dog temper, smooth his hair, and make him behave better.
Cheng Sunian turned over and faced Feng Can.
Feng Can had already fallen into a deep sleep, with his lips tightly pressed and his eyes closed. He was sleeping peacefully and beautifully, and he couldn't be seen jumping like that during the day at all.
Cheng Sunian thought, there's no need for him to quarrel with Feng Can every day, so why bother
One should learn to be flexible when dealing with problems. Some people are born to be soft but not hard. He can give Feng Can some softness. As Feng Can said, since he is bewitched by sugar-coated shells, it would be no problem to wholesale a box of sugar-coated shells for him.
After establishing the basic policy, Cheng Sunian fell asleep full of "conspiracies and tricks".
Feng Can didn't know about this, in fact, for the next few days, he was immersed in Cheng Sunian's question - how would he want Cheng Sunian to treat him
The answer must be decent and precise, so that Cheng Sunian can understand his appeal, but can't laugh at him.
Feng Can wanted to break his head.
However, despite the undercurrents of support and ADC, SP's schedule is going as usual.
Two major events every year, EPL and Shenyue Champions Cup, are paralleled, and the schedule is basically interspersed.
However, there is a qualifier stage in the early stage of the Champions Cup. The 16 sub-league teams and 10 city championship teams will participate in the qualifiers. The quarter-finals selected from these 26 teams will advance to the group stage of the Champions Cup and the EPL. The 16 strong teams compete for the final championship together.
In other words, during the qualifiers for the Champions Cup, SP only has one event, the EPL, and the schedule is relatively loose.
The next game is against Team XYZ.
XYZ is a new team that has just been promoted to the EPL this year. This new team is a small overlord who fights its way out in the secondary league every year. Its strength is often not weak, but it dominates the secondary league. After coming to the EPL, the upper limit No one knows how far they can go, they haven't played against each other yet.
When SP was preparing for the game, the coaching staff found a few classic games of XYZ and analyzed them while playing the video.
This team has a characteristic: the double Cs are very turbulent, and it is a typical fighting team.
However, XYZ's mid laner and ADC wave in slightly different ways. The former is Xiu, and the latter is Tiger. In short, both players are very aggressive, and the overall level of the secondary league is not as good as EPL after all. The scene is usually chaotic and fault-tolerant. The rate is a bit higher, so it's easier to show off.
To put it bluntly, the same level of operation can be shown in the secondary league, but it is very likely to be interrupted in the EPL.
Cheng Sunian is a veteran in operations and is not afraid of fighting teams at all.
He asked Feng Can: "What do you think of this AD?"
"It's not that good. It's at the level of pecking with the rookies on the other side." No matter what he thinks in his heart, Feng Can never speaks politely, "I will teach online tonight, and I will personally tell him how to play ADC."
"Okay, don't be reverse-educated."
Cheng Su Nian habitually wanted to discipline a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered his sugar-coated cannonball plan, and changed his words, "He is indeed a little different from you. He is not as good as you in laning, operation, team fighting details, and vigilance." , it happens to be more sloppy than you."
Feng Can actually didn't look at it so carefully: "Looking at it this way, XYZ's AD has no advantages at all."
"You can't say that." Cheng Suinian said, "It mainly depends on who you compare with. Compared with the top ADC in the EPL, of course you will be compared to nothing. Why, do you misunderstand your own position?"
Feng Can: "..."
The praise came so suddenly that he didn't realize whether Cheng Suinian was praising him or mocking him.
Is this guy a sudden sex change
Feng Can was almost dizzy, in fact, he had indeed shaken a little bit about his position in the past two days.
The main reason was Xu Xiang VS Jin Zhixiu's ADC duel on the opening day. After the game, the media and netizens heatedly discussed it. He failed to steal the limelight with four kills in his first show. Feng Can doesn't quite understand, are these two people really that strong
He didn't feel it at all.
He carefully watched the video of the match between Xie Zi and Lion. Jin Zhixiu did not play well, Xu Xiang carried, but still made operational mistakes. When Feng Can watched the video, he always thought "I can do it if I do it".
But the feeling of watching it off the court is really different from that on the court. Many golden rookie netizens watch the EPL and think that I can do it by myself.
Later he figured it out, how strong you are is not the point, the point is how much strength you can realize, even if you think you are the strongest, but you are always in an unstable state and can't perform well, what's the use
Everyone can only see the champion.
To put it bluntly, the so-called number one ADC is actually a status.
In the eyes of netizens, in the eyes of the media, in the eyes of industry insiders, of course, also in the eyes of Cheng Su Nian.
— He clearly doesn't have enough status right now.
... So Cheng Sunian was really mocking him, right
I knew that this person was not at ease.
Feng Can was a little depressed, and felt more and more that he should put forward his request to Cheng Sunian as soon as possible.
Obviously he used to be easy to be happy, why is he so upset every day after coming to SP? It's all Cheng Sunian's fault, the two of them are at odds.
So, that afternoon, on the way to the competition venue, sitting in the bus, Feng Can finally couldn't help but speak.
"Hello."
They were sitting together, Cheng Sunian was listening to music, when the headphones were taken off unexpectedly, he turned to look at Feng Can, "What's wrong?"
Feng Can opened his mouth, it seemed a bit difficult to speak.
"..."
Cheng Sunian actually didn't think about it, the so-called not come hard, come soft, how should he operate? He is not a good-tempered person at all, and the work of coaxing children is easier said than done.
For example, now, with Feng Can's hesitant expression, if it was Gao Xinnian, Cheng Su Nian would definitely tell him "speak up, don't say shut up", but if it's the same with Feng Can, I'm afraid Bits are about to explode again.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Sunian took off the other earphone, "Are you nervous again? No way? Don't you think XYZ's AD is very good?"
"I… "
After being interrupted like this, there was no atmosphere. Feng Can couldn't say anything.
"Well, I'm nervous again." He said with a sullen face, "I'm so easily nervous, and it's not all because of you. I get scolded for my bad performance, and I get scolded for my good performance..."
Cheng Sunian frowned slightly: "I don't have a hobby of swearing, I just hope you can follow orders. This request is simple, right? But it seems difficult for us to communicate. So... take your time, don't be in a hurry, and you don't have to be nervous, I won't Stop scolding you, we can change the way we get along."
"...in what way? For example?"
Feng Can was at a loss, not knowing what kind of medicine Cheng Sunian sold in his gourd.
Cheng Sunian suddenly approached, "For example, every time you are nervous or in a bad mood, you can tell me what's on your mind, and I will comfort you, there is no need to be so tense between us."
He put his arms around Feng Can's shoulders, in a very big brother's pose.
Feng Can froze.
Now it's in the team's bus, everyone is watching, Feng Can doesn't understand why Cheng Sunian is so coy, isn't he afraid of being seen? !
... No, why are you afraid.
"Why are you so talkative all of a sudden, what the hell are you doing..."
Feng Can's ears were slightly red, when Cheng Su Nian hugged him, he didn't know where to put his hands, he was embarrassed for a long time, he simply put his hands behind his back, tangled together.
Cheng Sunian didn't notice his small movements behind his back, so he retracted his arms, hugged him in the direction of his arms, leaned closer, and whispered to his ear: "I have a limit to what I can say, if you always Not following orders—"
"... No, what will happen if you don't listen?"
Cheng Sunian looked like an iceberg, but for some reason, the temperature on his body was like a stove. Feng Can felt that his entire ear had been scalded. He tried to maintain his composure, gathered up his momentum and looked back and forth at Cheng Sunian.
"Can you stop asking such contrarian questions?" Cheng Sunian paused, "No, why are you blushing?" (End of this chapter)
