"Hello, Daylight.
I just finished a good scrim and it was great to see your email. I remember you, my first Chinese fan. When you disappeared, I was thinking, God, am I too old to attract your attention? This made me sad for a long time.
Kidding!
I'm glad to see you again, and I'm sorry to hear about you, sometimes public opinion is not simple because of victory or defeat, there are too many complicated things behind it, it is not suitable for people like us who simply strive for e-sports To be serious. Be happy, there are so many beautiful things worth cherishing.
In any case, life represents endless difficulties and challenges. You are welcome to embark on a professional journey again. The world needs more heroes! WoW!
M."
"That's it for today." Kang Ming's voice became indifferent, he didn't even want to continue driving with Musta at all, it was like being tortured in prison, "I'll turn off the broadcast first."
Then, without waiting for Musta's answer, he directly closed the client and the live broadcast room.
Kang Ming was so irritable that he wanted to smash the computer. He knew that something would happen if he brought someone with a language and culture barrier, but he didn't expect Musta to point the finger at Yun Yun. And after jubilantly praising Hanzo.
Kang Ming sneered. If Musta wasn't really thinking about talking and talking without thinking, then he would definitely be very good at playing. The skillful use of the technique of wanting to promote before suppressing is much more cruel than being silent at the beginning and then opposing.
Kang Ming would not believe that Yun Yun was not injured. Yun Yun obviously became silent, which was completely different from his state of focusing on cheating. Even the sound of reporting points disappeared completely. When the system prompt that DL quit the game appeared, Kang Ming felt terrible.
Silence means refusal. With a character like Yun Yun who would seriously quarrel with people who have different opinions, once he keeps silent, it will definitely be more serious than speaking out to resist. This shows that it is a waste of words for some people to ask him to use words to argue about right and wrong.
Kang Ming hurried downstairs, feeling that this matter could not be exposed so easily. But now, he wanted to stabilize Yun Yun.
The meeting room on the first floor was tightly closed. Kang Ming saw the "Do Not Disturb" sign at a glance. This was the place where the team studied the battle plan, but this was the first time he saw Zhang Ye shut the door in a serious manner. But since Yun Yun was driving with him, he must not be here. Kang Ming was just curious and went straight to the computer room.
In the quiet room, the door of the computer room was wide open. Yun Yun was sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard with both hands, cutting out the window from time to time to type something on the gadget on the desktop, it didn't look like he was playing a game at all.
Kang Ming knocked on the door, and saw this focused guy, immediately put away the webpage on the desktop, turned to look at him, Yun Yun's face was clearly excited. Kang Ming suddenly froze.
Before going downstairs, Kang Ming quickly typed the apology draft ten times in his mind. Musta's incident was caused by him, and no matter who was wrong, he should apologize to Yun Yun. Kang Ming thought that he would see Yun Yun's frustrated, indifferent, and even angry side, but when Yun Yun turned his head and waited for his next sentence unharmed, Kang Ming couldn't say anything he had prepared.
He saw a completely different Yun Yun from what he had imagined.
With a smile from the heart on the young face, he looked excited and excited, as if he had won the five million lottery suddenly, with unbelievable ecstasy.
"Actually, I'm here to apologize..." Kang Ming said tentatively, and distanced himself from Musta by the way, "I don't know him well, so we won't drive together next time."
"Oh, this, it's okay!" Yun Yun's tone was brisk, the unhappiness brought by Musta just now was smashed by McGrath's email. The team's conflicts, passers-by's ridicule, and even all the negative information accumulated in the past two years are like typescripts thrown into the fire, leaving no dross behind. Now he just wants Kang Ming to end this boring conversation quickly, so that he can have a private space to complete a new reply letter, and he asked: "Is there anything else?"
These words sounded like chasing people away. Kang Ming was a little stunned, did he get in the way because Yun Yun disliked him face to face? Yun Yun didn't even want to see him because he brought an annoying guy like Musta
The situation is serious!
Kang Ming walked over quickly, pulled out the chair and sat beside Yun Yun, and asked seriously, "Yunyun, are you really okay?"
"What's wrong?" Yun Yun was stunned by his sudden question, "What happened?"
Kang Ming felt that there was something wrong with this attitude! He said: "It's because I didn't think carefully. I shouldn't ask you to drive after accepting the platform task... No, I shouldn't have grouped him in the first place. If you vent your anger, it's all my fault." His tone Pretending to be hurt, even with grievances on his face, Kang Ming knew the lethality of his expression, and his light brown eyes tried to awaken Yun Yun's conscience.
Yun Yun felt baffled. Seeing Kang Ming's appearance, he couldn't bear it. Even though this big man in the Northeast had a handsome and handsome appearance, he was pitiful. He was really familiar with the way. He coughed lightly, put away his apparent joy, and said, "I'm fine, I've heard what Musta said millions of times, and it's not bad for him. I didn't chase you away, I just..."
He smirked a little, looking like a Huaichun boy in love, and said, "I just want to reply a private email, and I don't want to be seen by others."
Kang Ming didn't think about the expression and the reason at all, but the problem became more serious. He frowned and asked, "Whose letter should I reply to?"
"Male god!" Yun Yun exclaimed excitedly, his face was full of admiration and excitement that couldn't be concealed.
"Um?"
"My male god sent me an email, so I have to reply to him immediately!" This cry, if it wasn't for Yun Yun's suppressed emotions, he almost jumped up and hugged Kang Ming, the excitement and happiness in his heart would have been felt by McGrath. Blooming in the short email, this is the person he admires the most in his life, even if McGrath only replied with one word, he would feel happy, now, this email has so many words!
Yun Yun really wanted to find a place to frame this email and hang it on the wall. Worshiping three times a day is not enough to describe his piety.
Kang Ming realized later, after he got used to his fans and audience using male god as his pronoun, now he finally realized that there is another guy called "male god". So, who is this bastard
Kang Ming asked again seriously: "Who did you say wrote you back?"
"Male god! My idol!" The answer was irrelevant.
"Who?" Kang Ming couldn't accept Yun Yun's appearance of taking the wrong medicine.
Yun Yun was like a stunned young man addicted to love, he said foolishly, "I won't tell you."
Kang Ming is not happy anymore, it's fine if he's not the male god, but what does it mean to hide it? Just now, for Yun Yun's sake, he made up his mind to comfort this little Hanzo, and his thoughts were distracted by the male god, so Yun Yun was so excited when he received a letter, it was so simple and easy to be satisfied, it seemed really deceiving!
"Talk to me about your male god, and so on." Kang Ming was half coaxing and half lying, as long as Yun Yun could tell one characteristic, he would definitely be able to quickly find out who this guy is!
With a smile on his face, Yun Yun couldn't restrain his happiness, and said: "He is a very great person, selfless, optimistic, and never backs down!"
great. When Kang Ming heard this word, he thought of the photos on the tower of ***. Those who can use this word to describe people must be at least of this level. He said: "Are you sure this is your male god, not someone in the textbook?" Who and who?"
"Really!" Yun Yun looked at Kang Ming seriously, "He is the person I love the most in my life."
My favorite in this life... Kang Ming felt that it was over, and Yun Yun was over. A few minutes ago, he was a good young man with a normal mind, but now he was completely brainwashed by a virus called male god.
He asked cautiously: "Then you want to give birth to a monkey for him?"
Yun Yun asked blankly, "What monkey?"
"Well, it's okay." Kang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it is still a normal "favorite" category, and it does not exceed the normal gender and logic, which is relatively safe. Kang Ming, who has been yelled at by his male fans for a long time to give him monkeys, feels that Yun Yun's star chasing attitude is quite reasonable, and he is a great selfless and optimistic man. He sounds full of positive energy and is not afraid of him going astray.
Kang Ming felt that Yun Yun really didn't take what happened just now to his heart, but simply didn't want to continue teaming up with Musta. He said: "Musta has no brains, and his skills are not good. He always gets out of rhythm and gets killed by cheaters. Don't worry about Yunyun, I won't take him to drive in the future."
Yun Yun said from the bottom of his heart: "It's okay, really, such a small matter can't defeat me."
As long as he thinks of McGrath, Yun Yun's happiness seems to pop out of his chest. He smiled and said, "I will work hard and win with the team!"
Only in this way can he prove that his Hanzo is useful. Then become a McGrath-approved opponent!
Very good, none of Kang Ming's consolation was useful. Yun Yun's optimism came suddenly. At this point, Kang Ming didn't know whether to thank the male god or hate him.
Kang Ming patted the back of Yun Yun's chair and said, "Then you reply, I'm leaving."
Yun Yun nodded and looked at him expectantly.
Kang Ming felt so sad, and it was the first time that someone so eagerly expected him to go away quickly, silently packed up his glass heart, turned and left.
"What are you doing smartly?" Zhang Ye had just returned from leading the group after teaching those daring guys a lesson, when he saw Kang Ming's expression of grief, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to call a doctor for you?"
Kang Ming wiped his face with both hands, and said in a low voice, "I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep, call me for dinner." Then he went upstairs to his room with his lonely back.
Zhang Ye watched him leave, and when he returned to the computer room with the team that had learned the lesson, Yun Yun just happened to quickly click the send button, and delivered this email with endless expectations and blessings.
It doesn't look like a setback at all.
"Yun Yun." Zhang Ye called him solemnly, his voice was so solemn that Yun Yun couldn't help putting away the smile on his face and standing up, "Lu Xiaoan took the lead in doing this, and as their coach, I should bear the main responsibility. The constant connivance made him develop such a strange temper, I'm sorry."
Zhang Ye bowed to express his sincerity.
But this action obviously frightened Yun Yun, he said: "Brother Zhang, that's not what I meant..."
Yun Yun just hoped that, as members of the same team, everyone could be honest with each other, and that they could raise their opinions and questions directly instead of making such hurtful test questions behind their backs. He looked at the group of young teammates around him, Some faces still look unfamiliar. Yun Yun said: "We are teammates and friends. No matter how it is in normal times, I think such important occasions as training matches and competitions cannot happen."
"Lu Xiao'an." Yun Yun said directly, "We usually have differences and opinions. These are all private matters, and the competition is our job. We can't use public affairs for personal reasons. I hope you can understand what I mean."
"It's my fault." Lu Xiaoan's expression was more sincere than his previous appearance. Whether it was forced by Zhang Ye or voluntarily awakened, he had already shown his utmost sincerity, "Because a team member left the team, so my handling of things changed. This is very extreme, I admit it, and I will not make any excuses for myself. But if my behavior offends you, I apologize to you. This plan was proposed by me, and I am the main person responsible , If you have any comments or dissatisfaction, please come to me directly."
Yun Yun didn't need anyone to take the blame, and he didn't need to apologize. He said, "We can solve many problems through conversation. Please don't make fun of the game. It's not only you, but also Team Lin."
He was able to distinguish how many temptations were mixed in this incident, even if it was for a different purpose, and said: "I am very grateful for Team Lin's suggestion of pushing me to be the deputy commander, but a training match with a disparity in strength does not show the real truth at all." Level, Overwatch is different from other games, it is not a one-person battle, nor is it a game led by two or three people in the team. The peak that each person can reach determines the final strength of the entire team."
"Team Lin is right about one thing: Our biggest problem is that we rely too much on Lu Xiaoan."
This is the state that Yun Yun and AM can feel on the first day of driving. Even if Lu Xiaoan is killed, he can't stop analyzing the battle situation. Peng Xiaozhou is silent, Wu Lisheng is conservative, Liu Sanping is aggressive, and Lin Minyu is rigid. The commonality is that they trust Lu Xiaoan extremely.
The fixed habit formed by the five people is not so easy to break, just like they always like to support all resources on Genji.
Yun Yun said: "Perhaps it is too early to ask for these. I hope that everyone in the team can have their own shining points, even if there is no command, they can be independent."
Lu Xiaoan glanced at Lin Minyu, and said: "Team Lin and I have considered this issue, and we also plan to let everyone stand in the command position for training, but because of our former wolf-hearted and cheeky... well, the relationship between the front output position, there is a lot of trouble. Very unpleasant. I must emphasize that Liu Sanping, Wu Lisheng, and Peng Xiaozhou were not involved in this incident, they are just used to obeying my arrangements. Therefore, I ask for your forgiveness."
Lu Xiaoan spoke very sincerely, completely different from his previous arrogant appearance, but Yun Yun didn't smile, his attitude was unprecedentedly serious, Yun Yun said clearly and seriously in front of everyone in the team: "Lu Xiaoan, you are a A strong player is also an excellent commander, but on this battlefield, we are not only facing the enemy. Mistakes and injuries from teammates are more sad than strong opponents."
"I'm not a saint either, so I don't forgive you." Yun Yun saw a change in Lu Xiaoan's silent eyes, which brought out waves of surprise. He smiled and said, "But I am different from you. I have a clear distinction between public and private, and I will not bring any emotions into the game."
Lu Xiao'an didn't speak, and he didn't want to. Zhang Ye solemnly emphasized what kind of person Yun Yun was in front of everyone.
Tenacity, humility, and strength, all of which Lu Xiaoan saw with her own eyes. Zhang Ye didn't reprimand him, but every word of praise to Yun Yun was a condemnation to him.
Not everyone regards e-sports as a game like Wang Tianrui, and does whatever they want. Some people take it as their dream and are willing to endure unimaginable difficulties and persist until the last moment.
The always gentle Zhang Ye even looked at him with disappointed eyes. This was a torture deeper than being punished.
Lu Xiao'an looked at Yun Yun. He didn't look like he was calm and angry at all, but in just ten minutes, he returned to the most normal state of mind.
Even though Lu Xiaoan was so hard-hearted that he didn't want to believe that Yun Yun would have nothing against him, he still said decisively: "Thank you for your patience all the time, I will not do this kind of thing that harms the interests of the team again, I hope you can stand shoulder to shoulder with us We look forward to more training with other teams and good results in the competition."
Yun Yun always has boundless enthusiasm for the game. He laughed and said, "Many of your views are too pessimistic. This is not the attitude that e-sports should have. I hope that you really know that you are wrong when you admit your mistakes."
Lu Xiaoan didn't reply, and Yun Yun didn't need him to answer either. Yun Yun said to Zhang Ye: "I have a friend who is a player from the Korean team. He agreed to have a training match with us. I want to formally seek advice from the coach."
Lu Xiaoan stared straight at him, a little surprised that Yun Yun hadn't given up on this idea, and even made a request to Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye also did not expect that if it was normal, he would definitely agree immediately. There are very few opportunities to train with Korean teams, and every collision with a strong team represents a new starting point. He weighed the pros and cons. Even though AM had just started, Zhang Ye was still unwilling to give up this rare opportunity easily.
"Yun Yun." Lu Xiaoan said suddenly, "If we can win a domestic cup... no, the runner-up, we will be able to talk about training with Gim and the others."
With a calm and rational voice, he said: "A match with a huge disparity in strength is just a waste of time. Gim, you are too strong."
"His team will definitely not be weak."
On Monday, Zhang Ye finally brought good news to the sloppy Are Men team: they will play the team's first match - the Tep Cup.
Although, the first thing that stands in front of them is the audition.
The Taipu Cup has held two offline competitions, and each time only the teams that have entered the top eight are welcome to enter the offline competition. Before the quarter-finals, all teams must break through the group stage.
Some well-known teams will receive invitations from the Tep Cup organizers and directly enter the group stage, while the 18th-line teams and new teams must win the audition to qualify for the group stage.
Overwatch's audition will not be broadcast live, and the teams before entering the group stage will not even appear on the Tep Cup match list. Although Are Men's reputation has suddenly risen due to Kang Ming's popularity, as a team without any actual combat experience, auditions are the only way to go.
"Our opponent selected by the lottery in the audition is RTK's second team. This battle is a best-of-one match, and the winner will be determined in one game." Zhang Ye briefly explained the competition. Although it was only an audition, the opponent was RTK. , even if it is only the second team, the strength of the opponent cannot be underestimated. "Nepal, Lijiang Tower, and Ilios, among the three maps, draw lots on the spot to decide which one to play. So we have stepped up practice on the control map in the past few days. Regarding the lineup and routines , My suggestion is to use Yun Yun and Lu Xiaoan as the core, and the list of members of the RTK second team has not yet been announced, so I don’t know their regular configuration for the time being. We can only make thorough preparations.”
In the Tep Cup, the previous two champions were well-known domestic teams, one was Str.7, the other was Laur, and DeGR did not participate in this competition directly. The online description said that they were training.
Although the combination of online and offline competitions in the Taipu Cup has been criticized, since Overwatch has just started and there is only one offline competition in the country, this competition system is still retained Come down, because the team must qualify in the online game to enter the offline game. This kind of mixed mode has caused many teams that are only good at online games to suffer a lot.
Because of the online competition, you don’t need to sit at the competition site, you can connect to the Taipu Cup competition official through the team’s own base. It is an environment they are familiar with, and they can naturally play as they like and can control it. When the game progresses to the offline stage, all qualifying battles must sit in an unfamiliar arena, face the camera and opponents, and fight on the spot.
This caused many teams with insufficient psychological quality to experience various abnormal situations during offline matches, and eventually lost.
Offline game. Yun Yun looked at these three words. There was absolutely no problem with his competition experience and quality, but he didn't mind showing his face in front of countless cameras.
Lin Minyu can remember himself only by seeing him in offline games many years ago, so the group of people who used to know him can recognize him more easily.
Yun Yun let out a long breath, and leaned back on the chair, a trace of undue timidity flashed in his heart.
"What?" Lu Xiaoan asked while watching the game video.
He thinks that Yun Yun is a very amazing person, he can sense the repressed anger in Yun Yun's heart, but he will never vent it out emotionally, he is so optimistic as to be silly and sweet, Lu Xiao'an feels that what he did is really too much, An ordinary person would have slammed the door and left. Sometimes Lu Xiaoan felt that Yun Yun deserved to be the one who dared to play Hanzo on the national server.
"Actually, I know someone from the 2nd team of RTK. I was introduced by him at that time, and I went to trial training at that time."
"Oh." Lu Xiaoan was obviously not very interested, but he still asked casually in a good mood, "What kind of game does your friend play, is it good?"
Yun Yun said: "Anna, she has a clear mind, timely response, and a sniper background, but in terms of the overall situation, he is not as good as you."
Lu Xiaoan snorted softly, and when even Yun Yun thought he should be boastful, he heard him say: "Although RTK is a low-level team, the second team can't be underestimated. They pick people with vicious eyes and dare to dig into the wall It's all core."
"Poaching?" Yun Yun felt that there was something in his words.
Lu Xiaoan said slowly: "Our Genji was poached by RTK. Lao Zhang said that RTK has recently recruited many core players, and how many people who have become substitutes before participating in the competition are looking for another way out. I hope your friend's strength can be enough in the team. Pay attention, you won't be driven away."
The inside information he said calmly made Yun Yun fall into deep thought for a moment. Yun Yun understands RTK's attitude towards players, and he has not received a reply to the message he sent to ZUM, so he is even more worried. It's like they've lost touch since he entered AM. ZUM's game is not logged in, chat software is also missing, and he does not have ZUM's phone. After a day or two, Yun Yun didn't feel any better. After knowing that RTK's second team became AM's opponent, he felt that ZUM's loss of contact was really abnormal.
Lu Xiaoan pressed the pause button of the game video, and suddenly asked, "Yun Yun, why are you playing professionally?"
If Yun Yun heard this question before, he would definitely say that he wanted to win. Now, with a big smile, he says, "Because the world needs more heroes."
Lu Xiaoan looked at him like he was looking at a lunatic. This is the catchphrase of Overwatch. Every banner that appears on the advertisement will be marked with this eye-catching sentence, "The world needs heroes" and "The world needs more heroes". Saving the world's patients, I came to this game, only to find that the world is full of dumping, spamming and defeat.
"Oh, I wish you success in saving the world." Lu Xiaoan seemed to have received a perfunctory answer, and also gave him a perfunctory blessing.
But Yun Yun was very serious. He started out as a professional player with just one thought: If McGrath could make it in the pros, so could he.
Yun Yun wanted to become an opponent with the goal in his mind. This is a very strange idea. Others want to be the idol's partner, but he wants to stand on the opposite side of McGrath and make him an enemy.
Now he feels that e-sports is a place where strength speaks, there are no permanent enemies, and there are no permanent friends. It is a professional disease of a competitive player to want to challenge when he sees a strong man. He wants to reach the realm of McGrath and become An opponent recognized by idols.
Because Yun Yun admired him and respected him, he wanted to defeat him.
It is also to defeat oneself.
They spent the three days waiting for the audition very hard. Even Wu Lisheng, who loves to sleep late in the morning, came to the computer room to report early every day.
AM arranged a few simple training matches. Under the leadership of Lu Xiaoan and Zhang Ye, they frantically practiced McCree's core tactics.
This is not an easy task. Their previous routine was quite rigid, and they used Genji as the target of the battle almost all the way, and all resources were tilted on Genji. Simple and easy to use, habits are hard to change.
AM is undoubtedly going through a painful struggle. Yun Yun can feel the changes in his teammates. From the beginning of cooperating with McCree's unfamiliarity, he is now able to actively support him. After a few days of running-in, he can achieve the current effect. not easy. Without more than ten training games, no one can say that they can show the most perfect coordination.
"Tired?" Kang Ming handed Yun Yun a clean apple. Recently, when he wasn't live broadcasting, he liked to watch the team's training. Yun Yun took it over and said thank you, with a face full of life. When Kang Ming woke up every day, he saw that the computer room was full of people, and they looked like they were training seriously. He was really embarrassed to drag Yun Yun out.
He could only grab Yun Yun during the break after dinner and ask, "Did you exercise today?"
"I did thirty sit-ups." Yun Yun lied without blushing, "Really."
Kang Ming was skeptical, and considering that he was going to play a game, he didn't go any further.
Wait for him to finish. Kang Ming thought, after he finishes the audition, he must see him exercise with his own eyes, why does it feel like he lost weight again after a few days.
Tep Cup, audition.
It was a sunny afternoon, and the team members were waiting in front of the computer early. According to the rules of the Taipu Cup competition, the audition, which determines the outcome of a game, will not be broadcast live, so the members of Are Men are in a relatively relaxed state. After all, they have the experience of winning all the way to the finals, and they don't have much pressure to face the temporary RTK second team that has just been formed.
"Actually, we are also a new team!" Liu Sanping said suddenly.
Lu Xiaoan disgusted him viciously and said: "How dare you pretend to be a newcomer, you old ID commentator have seen it countless times!"
"Entered the competition." Zhang Ye's voice came from YY, and everyone received the invitation from the organizer.
The interface of the custom game stays at the Lijiang Tower, which is the game map they decided by lottery. Are Men is the blue side, while RTK is the red side. These are two teams with completely different naming styles. AM is not like a domestic professional team at all. Each ID is loose and ordinary, without a fixed prefix, and there is no uniform avatar. They are arranged in a random order in the preparation list. ; RTK is much more professional, with a unified RTK beginning and a completely consistent Overwatch default avatar, which looks as neat as a game-specific account.
After Yun Yun entered, he quickly scanned the battle list on the opposite side. There were only six vertical lines of ID, but there was no ZUM letter in it, and his friend channel, which belonged to the account of ZUM, had never logged in.
Yun Yun didn't know what mood he was in at this time. While thinking about whether ZUM had changed his account and changed his ID, he was also afraid that ZUM would really become a substitute. ZUM is very good, even if she is not as good as Lu Xiaoan, she is still an excellent Anna in the national server. Such players, in the tactics centered on Anna, are simply scarce resources.
After this game, he really had to find a way to contact ZUM.
According to the rules of the game, they added each other as friends one by one. As soon as Yun Yun lifted his mouse, he heard a curse erupt from the computer room. He could clearly hear the sound coming from Liu Sanping.
Liu Sanping said: "Wang Tianrui!"
The atmosphere in the computer room became tense, and Yun Yun could feel the doubled pressure. Wang Tianrui, he had never heard of this name, but he knew that this team lost an excellent Genji because of RTK's poaching. The team was severely injured until the game was forfeited.
And the familiar RTKToke on the opposite list is a Genji player that RTK spent a lot of money to find.
There will not be two Genjis in a team. There is no such a coincidence in the world, and there are not so many hateful IDs.
Lu Xiaoan looked very calm. He stared at the player named RTKToke on the battle list, and said with a smile, "It's just right, let's settle the old and new grudges together."
