Chapter 11: world cup

Meet the world.

These words are used to describe the Overwatch Chinese professional circle that has just started for half a year. There is no international competition to measure the strength of the entire professional team. On the forum, there is a legend that Chinese teams are 50-50 against everyone. In fact, the strength of Chinese professional teams has to be seen on the field.

When the team list for the World Cup was announced, Kang Ming was forced to drag it out and analyze each national team one by one. He had never even seen the names of most of them, so he just listened quietly to the data emperor telling him: So-and-so from a certain team is good at such-and-such a hero, world-class, and an awesome thief.

More than half of the players belonged to long-established international club members, and they were dispersed to their own national teams. However, those players who are not well-known do not mean that they are not strong.

"The Chinese team will play Brazil first in the first round, followed by Taipei and Canada. There are basically no famous players, so it should not be a big problem to qualify for the group stage. You must be prepared to comment on the quarter-finals. I have the information. I’m working on it, and I can probably give it to you the day after tomorrow.”

Kang Ming turned on the speaker and threw the mobile phone on the table, mixed with the soliloquy in the Shadow Blade live broadcast room, the other party continued to say indifferently, "The United States, Sweden, Germany, and Finland all have star players from the European and American first-line teams. Some teams even have more than one team. The bigger problem is South Korea. The previous TEAM Cup invited several Korean second-tier teams to play. At least from the situation of the first-tier teams like Str.7 and RTK, their first-tier teams should be even stronger. Horrible. I studied the members of the South Korean team, and they are almost all the elites of the first-tier teams, so I think that China’s chances of entering the finals this time are not very high. If DeGR and Laur’s members can cooperate perfectly, they may be able to compete for the semi-finals .”

"Wait a minute..." Kang Ming held the mouse, and tapped the keyboard rapidly with his left hand, "Although I need this information very much, can you discuss these issues with me at another time, Uncle Zhang?"

Hearing the sound of keyboards coming from the phone, Zhang Ye suddenly asked, "Didn't you change the live broadcast to afternoon? I thought you were just watching the live broadcast, why are you still playing?"

Kang Ming's sharp eyesight and quick hands killed a bloody Lucio, and quickly turned around to find a blood bag. He shouted angrily: "If you don't live broadcast, you can't play, who stipulated it!"

"But you sleep late in the morning and live broadcast in the afternoon, so I can only find you at night!"

"You're so annoying." Kang Ming indifferently complained about his friend, and quickly rushed towards the enemy.

Then he heard Shadow Blade's voice coming from the team channel: "Brother, don't rush too fast, Tracer is behind you."

"Okay." Kang Ming replied, gave up chasing the remaining blood, and turned around decisively to help Shadow Blade get rid of the Tracer who harassed him after he circled around.

Then, the live broadcast sound, which is delayed for a few seconds, is clearly transmitted to the earpiece.

"Brother..." Zhang Ye repeated the title, and heard Kang Ming's own admission.

Kang Ming was poked all over the head by Zarya on the opposite side, and he yelled directly: "Uncle Zhang, hang up for me! I will call you later!"

After two beeps, the phone finally fell silent.

After finishing the round in a hurry, Kang Ming felt that his Genji was invincible.

He drew his sword and rushed into the crowd to kill, and returned from the blood of thousands of troops. Every detail was perfect, absolutely worthy of the glittering master rank icon under his avatar.

Kang Ming's trumpet was also safely promoted to the master division, and his Genji was finally able to show his hands to others.

Of course, we must thank the powerful support behind us—ZUM.

The right biological grenade and the extremely precise anesthesia needle used bullets to cover the two brothers Shimada's charge all the time.

This is a tricycle.

Shimada Genji, Shadow Blade, ZUM.

The team with its own output and treatment is very popular in the master rank.

More importantly, when a Hanzo appeared in the team, no one expressed disgust, but took the front tank or auxiliary to fill the position as a matter of course.

This phenomenon is a bit miraculous, and even the bullet screen couldn't help typing and asked, "It's so strange that no one complained half-heartedly."

As for Yun Yun, looking at the shining logo, which was more eye-catching than the master icon, he replied, "Because I am the only grand master in the team."

The Grandmaster rank is the highest rank in the entire server before Overwatch started the top 500 ranking, and it is almost a level that can only be achieved by a top server player.

Even if the voices against Hanzo cannot be completely eliminated, at least most of the time, he can quietly pick up Hanzo to start the game.

"If you wait until the top 500 come out, even if you go to the solo queue, you won't be complained about."

Although Yun Yun said so, he was not confident.

After all, in the first season, even if his top 500 logo was firmly hung under his avatar, someone would still say, "Do you want to lose with Hanzo?"

There are always some people who think that the top 500 are fake.

This is the state of the most chaotic period of the national server, full of self-righteous trolls, and rampant in the 80th segment, which is why Yun Yun diverted to the Asian server, at least on other servers, most people will believe in strength.

"Shadow Blade, will you watch the World Cup next week?" ZUM asked softly while waiting for the match.

ZUM is a quiet person. Except for communicating in critical situations, he basically doesn't know how to turn on the microphone. Yun Yun and Shimada Genji, with his silent support, lived very comfortably and knew how to deal with Anna being harassed. Time, immediately turn around to help him.

Even though, most of the time, ZUM doesn't need their help, easily killing the hero who comes to provoke him.

"Maybe I don't want to watch it..." Yun Yun's mood was very complicated, as if the game had entered the Spring Festival, and people everywhere reminded him of this Overwatch festival, "I don't like watching games very much, sometimes I find it quite boring."

"It's a very interesting game. It's not just an exhibition game, it's a lot of world-class players."

"I don't know much about professional players in Overwatch these days."

"Haha." ZUM suddenly laughed, and his Anna walked up to Hanzo and greeted him happily, "You will know at least one."

"Ah?" Yun Yun didn't know what he meant.

ZUM is in a good mood, which can be felt from his active chatting tone. He said: "I have officially passed the trial training of the professional team and will soon sign a contract to join the club."

Yun Yun suddenly understood what he wanted to say.

"Shadow Blade, congratulations, I'm going to become a professional player!"

Hearing this, Yun Yun felt a little dazed. His friends were going to become professional players. Enter the e-sports professional circle, stand on the cruel field, and fight for victory with the same young teammates.

This is a very exciting thing. Even now, sitting in front of his narrow and quiet desk, he seems to be able to see the bright spotlight in front of him, the ambitious teammates around him, the voice of command, the voice of communication, and the backlog of the moment of defeat. The heaviness, and the cry from the heart at the moment of victory.

Everything is like yesterday.

"Which team are you?" The voice channel was silent for a long time, and finally Genji Shimada's voice rang out.

"RTK's second team." Zum was always a bit disappointed that he didn't get the blessing of Shadow Blade. He didn't tell anyone about his trial training. After passing, this was the first time he told others.

RTK is an old domestic e-sports club with three divisions, and the Overwatch division won the championship in the just-concluded Rainbow Cup.

Although this championship was won because of the temporary abstention of the opponent in the final.

But victory is victory, and RTK also performed well in other cup competitions.

However, the second team... Kang Ming began to recall how many second teams in domestic clubs were not stillborn. Before Str. The second team was digested and absorbed by the first team and became a brand new Str.7.

The domestic teams are undergoing tremendous changes and adjustments. Many new teams have sprung up, and many old teams have disappeared.

Subtle changes and changes, each time can only be seen in the game.

"That's not bad, RTK is a big club, congratulations." No matter what, when someone tells you good news with good intentions, you have to respond with a smile.

And Shadow Blade has been silent for a long time without speaking.

Including the live broadcast room where he kept talking, there was a barrage of "Shadow Blade and God Hidden?".

Kang Ming raised his hand to type, and sent it to: Shadow Blade, what's wrong

Listening to their chat, Yun Yun exhaled a long breath. Just now he involuntarily stood up and sat in front of the computer with his whole body tense, but his mind was blank.

He shouldn't be doing this.

"I'm fine, just now..." He didn't know how to answer the barrage's inquiry, and he was annoyed by his silence. When his friend shared a good news, he didn't say a word, which was really rude.

"I'm sorry ZUM, I just answered a call." Yun Yun found a reasonable excuse and sincerely congratulated him, "Congratulations on going professional, and I will cheer for you in future competitions!"

"Okay." ZUM's depressed mood turned around, "I will notify you to watch before the game."

"Oh~ the team of the powerful chicken mother, you must notify me of the match!" The audience's bullet screens were posted one after another, and Yun Yun's tangled mood suddenly became brighter.

This is a completely different world, but he is stuck in the past and cannot extricate himself.

"No problem, I will take you all to cheer for ZUM!"

As soon as the voice fell, they joined the competition queue.

After habitually entering the team's voice, they heard the passers-by they had just matched discussing something fiercely.

"DeGR and Laur are the first-line team, right? They go out to play games, will other countries say that we are bullying people?"

"You're thinking too optimistically. The European and American fathers haven't said anything about bullying anyone yet. Who dares to say such a thing."

"Not necessarily, I just think we are the only professional team, three or three teams, everyone else is on the same team, there are only one or two people, and even a team has people who are not professional players."

"Don't make trouble, why did you forget about South Korea, they have T, milk and coaches, and their equipment is more professional than ours."

"Ah, yes, the Chinese team seems to be six assaults!"

Six assaults. Yun Yun listened to his teammates chatting, and what he didn't pay much attention to at first suddenly became clear in his heart. It turns out that in the World Cup, the Chinese team voted for six players who are good at assault heroes.

This is understandable, after all, in such a game, only the assault hero appears to carry the audience, is powerful, and is more trusted and favored by players.

"You're wrong." ZUM's voice was gentle and friendly, "Laur's people are not only good at attacking, but they have too many common heroes, so they don't show it."

Hearing that, Kang Ming nodded silently. That group of people only put the assault in the top three, and it's not difficult to ask someone to take out the front row and support, but they are just afraid that they will be flattened inexplicably if they think about making troubles. .

"As expected of a future professional player, ZUM, you know the team situation very well." Kang Ming praised in a good mood.

"Of course." ZUM put away his rifle, and Anna jumped around the obstacles ahead, "After all, I will definitely meet Laur on the field."

Therefore, he will definitely not miss the grand event in the professional circle.
