For Love of the Game

Chapter 121: Awards ceremony

Views:

At 7 p.m., the third place competition started on time.

The people of Fengyue came to the viewing seat in advance. This is the VIP area specially set up for the contestants, surrounded by the top eight teams.

Because the competition of each team is completely over, there is less sense of urgency. This time it is pure spectator, and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

Luo Lieban sat upright in front, trying to maintain the image of a high-cold captain. In fact, he wished he had his eyes on the back of his head and stared at Shen Huai all the time.

Si Qianjin always saw Luo Lie in the auditorium recently, and he got to know him quite well. He hooked Luo Lie's neck and said hello to Shen Huai, "Hey Yushen, get to know him? This is your little fanboy!"

Luo Lie's neck turned red, he pushed Si forward, stood up, "Hello Yushen!"

Shen Huai nodded, "I know Captain Luo."

Hai Xing complained in his heart, more than knowing, Shen Huai has become the big boss of the dream team!

Song Xueyang also interjected, "Dream Team and we are brother teams, you Thunder must have a sense of crisis."

Si Qianjin twitched the corners of his mouth and ignored him.

To be honest, since the last international long-distance incident, he couldn't look directly at Song Xueyang. Although he always joked with Song Xueyang before, the two were like husband and wife, and he was named Si Guifei or something, but it was all a joke. It really made him accept what Song Xueyang and Shen Huai had, and he felt really awkward.

He didn't feel that way when he saw Shen Huai, maybe Shen Huai's temperament was calm and calm, different from those men who were sticky and greasy when they got involved, and he was strong, so he was handsome.

Song Xueyang was different. This old fox was smiling all day long, and his stomach was full of bad water, and he felt a little frivolous. Although he had a good relationship with Song Xueyang, he always felt that this kid was not a good man with a single-mindedness emotionally.

Feather God followed him, didn't this mean that the rabbit fell into the wolf's den and all the bones that were eaten were left? No, it may not be enough for him to jam his teeth.

Si Qianjin never mentioned this or asked because he felt that the two of them would not last long. If he knew it, it would be embarrassing for the two to split up. He only hoped that the old fox's love would last until Shen Huai retired, otherwise the matter of eating the grass on the edge of the nest would be inauthentic.

Si Qianjin saw Song Xueyang's eyes rolling, as if he had guessed something, and quickly rolled his eyes at him, pretending to be nothing, and wanted to mention Shen Huai by the way.

"You're a big radish, don't you do this kind of empathy?"

Song Xueyang shamelessly embraced Shen Huai's shoulders, "It also depends on who I am in love with."

Division forward: "… "

You let yourself go like this, how can I pretend that I don't know anything!

Si Qianjin was even more annoyed that other people didn't think there was anything wrong with Song Xueyang's words. On the contrary, it seemed that he was wearing tinted glasses. In the end, they could only sigh, this person is shameless to a certain level, and no one believes the truth. .

It didn't take long for the people from the Xiaolang team to come. Everyone congratulated them for winning the championship, and everyone in Fengyue gave their blessings generously. After a few more chats, the game started.

This is still a 2V2 opening. WG has come up with a luxurious combination of Jia Yunge and Zhang Jiayan. The two have a poison element with a light element, which is also a small bonus combination.

What made Shen Huai puzzled was that the God of War did not send the ace combination of Hu Nana and Xiao Zhang, which made the audience a little disappointed.

Hai Xing was not disappointed at all, it would be uncomfortable for him to see the goddess and the scumbag Xiao Zhang on the same stage!

Song Xueyang sighed inexplicably, "Team Hu is really not easy." After that, there was no more.

Zhang Jiayan and Jia Yunge's childhood sweethearts complemented each other tacitly. The super-high explosion made the audience feel addicted. In the first 2V2 game, WG won the first victory without any suspense.

The second 6v6 game was the battle of the heads of state that WG is best at, but God of War's five-guarantee-one-team play was very effective in this game.

As soon as Xiao Zhang came out, the battle situation changed suddenly. With the protection of his teammates, he was like a mobile artillery battery. Even the WG fighters couldn't resist for half a minute. He crushed and killed the WG leader all the way.

The audience watched with enthusiasm, and Shen Huai was also shocked by Xiao Zhang's output ability.

In his opinion, there are many players with strong personal strength, but it is very rare to lead the team to win team battles alone, especially when it comes to teams with similar strength levels, it is even more difficult to achieve this.

But Xiao Zhang just did it. He is a player with strong arena strength and stronger teamfighting strength. If the team battle against God of War in the group stage is not random to rescue the hostages, but the battle of the head of state or the offensive and defensive battle, they may not be able to win.

In the third 1V1, Hu Nana played the first start for the first time, which was hard for Liang Minghui who played against him.

Liang Minghui belongs to the tail of the T1 level. After years of tempering in the domestic competition and the world competition, his on-the-spot reaction and field analysis ability have greatly improved, but compared with Hu Nana, a T1-level power god, it is still a bit worse. In addition, the fire method itself is not under control, and the qigong master is the king of the duel. All kinds of factors add up to the final defeat.

However, Liang Minghui is worthy of being called the "hot guy". Even if he loses this fight, Hu Nana's mana is exhausted, and there is not much gap left for the second fight.

WG's second challenge was Fang Ze's epee swordsman. After he finished fighting Hu Nana, he was confronted by the God of War, the epee swordsman Hua Shen.

The two were both swordsmen and their level was similar. This match was very close. In the end, Hua Shen narrowly won the third battle with a slight HP advantage.

It is Xiao Zhang and Zhang Jiayan in the defensive stage. This is the most anticipated match in tonight's game. The collision of the two great god-level players will surely create the most violent spark!

As Shen Huai predicted before the game, Zhang Jiayan's firepower is full of fire, not only in good condition, it is simply extraordinary performance, switching three machines in one second, laser pulse, laser laser, and artillery firing three skills instantly, and then the operation of the war gods will start fiercely. Seeing people overwhelmed, Niu Niu repeatedly called him "the fastest man in the circle".

In the end, Zhang Jiayan defeated Xiao Zhang and won the 1V1 arena.

The Fengyue crowd in the stands were all stunned by his super high outburst, that skill hit Xiao Zhang as if it hit them, and even vaguely felt that if the Yan team played in the semi-finals, they would really May not be able to beat WG.

WG's match point game is 6v6 again. This time it is the battle of the heads of state. Yao Jun is very worried about WG's game.

"God of War's team battle lineup is centered on God of War, and the head economy is also given to him. And WG's side happens to have no profession that can break through the enemy's back row, and the only epee swordsman can't rush into the five guards of God of War at all. One’s encirclement. God of War’s teamfighting style is not afraid of mainstream teamfighting teams like WG, Thunder, and Supper, but a team that quickly cuts into the back row and harvests, such as Void Wolf.”

This is indeed very reasonable, but Zhang Jiayan seems to be hot-blooded and reckless, but he is actually a rough and meticulous captain with a steady command. After analyzing the battle situation, he decided to change the team battle lineup, and replaced the halo battle with shell fire. His stamina has dropped a bit, but his teamfight output ability has improved a lot.

No matter how powerful Xiao Zhang's qigong master is and how clever his position is, he can't stand the fire mage's long hands and wide range of group attacks.

In the end, WG won the 6V6 victory and defeated the God of War with a score of 3:1, and the gold combination of Xiao Zhang and Hu Nana did not have a chance to play the last 2V2.

For this result, the fans of God of War are somewhat difficult to accept.

WG won the third place this year because the team had an accident in the semi-finals, but the two god-level players of the God of War are both good, but only one fourth in the end

This is God of War's worst result since he participated in the "City of Despair" professional competition. The fact that the ace combination is always absent also makes fans very puzzled, and they question Hu Nana's ability to lead the team. Fortunately, Team Hu has a solid foundation. After so many years, the popularity in the circle has only increased, and the number of fans has quickly suppressed this matter.

That night, Hu Nana posted a long letter of apology on Weibo, apologizing to all fans who support and love God of War. In it, she said, "God of War is not my God of War alone, and the management team is limited everywhere." Pushed to the cusp.

Shen Huai was a little worried. In his heart, Hu Nana was a very strong and powerful person, but the two of them rarely contacted each other. He was too embarrassed to call to care, so he urged Song Xueyang to ask.

Song Xueyang was helpless, how could there be a boyfriend who urged his partner to care about other women

But he still called Hu Nana. Hu Nana's voice sounded very relaxed, completely different from the earth-shattering rumors on the Internet.

She said, "It's actually nothing, I feel better when I say it. It was the first time I got such a bad grade, and for a moment I really didn't want to play again. I told my boss that I had saved enough liquidated damages. If If he repeatedly interferes with me arranging players to play, I will retire."

Shen Huai felt worthless for her, but Song Xueyang said with a smile, "Fengyue welcomes you."

Hu Nana's loud laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Welcome to me? How will Fengyue join a qigong master to form a team? Are you planning to gather all eight professions? Besides, your team has no place!"

Song Xueyang said, "No matter what kind of lineup, I think of the most suitable style of play. Fengyue has no position now, which does not mean that the transfer period is not yet."

Hu Nana was startled, she couldn't figure out the truth of Song Xueyang's words for a while, and half-jokingly said, "Then I found a good employer ahead of time."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Huai was relieved, and Song Xueyang asked, "Aren't you going to ask me if I really plan to let Team Hu join the team?"

Shen Huai shook his head, "Captain Hu has led the team for so long, and he won't be easily willing to be a thug for you."

Song Xueyang pretended to be pitiful, "That's right, if Captain Hu comes to Fengyue, I'll be homeless."

Shen Huai glared at him, turned around and got on the bed, Song Xueyang followed, just shoving the person into his arms, and the two were tired and crooked for a while before resting.

The next afternoon was the award ceremony for the S6 National Finals of "City of Despair". In addition to awarding trophies to the top three teams on the spot, the top-ranked domestic players in each profession this season will also be selected, as well as the audience. The best MVP, best newcomer and other awards can be called the annual event of "City of Despair".

On that day, the three commentators dressed up and turned into live hosts, and the players of each team were less serious and tense than they used to be on the field, and all of them looked happy.

The first item of the ceremony was to present the awards to the championship, runner-up and third-place teams of the season. This was the first time for the Maple Moon team to step onto the podium. Although they were not greeted with a championship trophy, this was the result of their hard work for a year. .

When everyone picked up the runner-up trophy, they all felt proud from the bottom of their hearts. This was the result of the seven of them working together and it was the proof that they had overcome all obstacles along the way. This trophy is an honor and a whip that motivates them to move forward. They don't forget the bigger goal - world championship!

After getting off the stage, Hai Xing still held the trophy. Looking at the glorious silver trophy reflecting his face, he couldn't help thinking that a domestic runner-up had already made him so excited. If this is the world championship trophy, he will definitely 10 times happier than now.

The second item is to announce the top-ranked players in each profession. "City of Despair" currently has eight professions, each with three branches, but the branches will not be taken into account in the official ballot, that is to say No matter which branch you play, it will be ranked according to the participation of this class.

The ranking will be based on the players' performance from the group stage to the present, the winning percentage in each mode, and the final ranking of the team.

"First of all, the top player in the official selection of the S6 season fighter profession by "City of Despair" is Team Dawn, Lele!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, Tao Lele, the captain of the Chenxi team, stood up and bowed. At the same time, the data of his group match so far popped up on the big screen.

Occupation branch: Berserker

Number of appearances: 12

Number of fights: 8 (75% win rate)

Season average KDA: 7.3

Teamfight output ratio: 20.3%

After that is the magician ranking. The first player is the black magician of the Supper team. Then there is the swordsman ranking. The professional players who play swordsman are the most professional players in all professions. Every year, the world ranking is very fierce. However, the domestic ranking Guan He has always sat firmly on the first throne and has not changed for many years.

"The No. 1 player in the swordsman profession in the S6 season is Team Xiaolang, Sirius!"

Guan He got up and waved his game data on the big screen.

Occupation Branch: Light Swordsman

Number of appearances: 18

Number of fights: 10 (90% win rate)

Season average KDA: 9.3

Teamfight output ratio: 23.5%

The astonishing in-ring win rate and the season average KDA made the field exclaimed. The winning rate in 10 games is 90%. Guan He is not playing 2v2, which means that he has played 10 games of 1v1 since the group stage, and he has only lost. One, and everyone knows that the one who defeated him was Cang Yu!

"Next is the ranking of the magician profession in the S6 season," Ju Zi glanced at the teleprompter card and sold out, "Apart from swordsmen, the profession that players play the most is magician, and the ranking of magicians changes every year. ."

Niu Niu replied, "Yes, you can see that there are fire magic, ice magic, and element magic among the branches of magicians. They are all good players in the team battle arena. Almost every team has at least one professional magician player."

"Our first player in the magician profession this year has not had a smooth journey. He has played with almost every top eight team, but he never gave up in the group stage, the loser's match, and the national finals. —Team Thunder, Thor!"

Si Qianjin, who was named, looked bewildered. He came here today with the mentality of watching the excitement, so he would have named his name? What about the fire guy? What about the ice wolf snow wolf

Before he could react, the rest of the Thunder team jumped up with joy and picked him up from the chair in a hurry, as if they were the first in the profession.

Everyone applauded, Shen Huai whispered "Congratulations", Si Qianjin only took a while to react, hehe laughed, and bowed in each of the four directions.

Then came the qigong master, Xiao Zhang won the first place in the professional ranking without any suspense.

His fans were so excited that they almost broke their throats, especially when Xiao Zhang stood up and raised his thumb, he instantly killed a group of female fans.

Hai Xing snorted unhappily, and although the rest of the people didn't speak, their thoughts coincided.

"Next is the S6 season Shengguang professional rankings, the first place is popular - WG team, Yunbuyu!"

Occupation Branch: Poison Light

Number of appearances: 16

Number of fights: 11 (73% win rate)

Season average KDA: 8.3

Teamfight output ratio: 20.8%

Jia Yunge was ready for a long time. He stood up and raised his doll immediately. Fans on the field shouted "Yunshen, Yunshen" frantically. Jia Yunge turned around gracefully, and finally gave a gentleman's salute.

"The next one is a very competitive career, Gunslinger."

As soon as Orange finished speaking, two voices rang out from the audience.

"Snow God! Snow God!"

"Speak Team!!"

The gunmen branch includes guns, snipers, and mechanics. There are many players. Among them, there are Zhang Jiayan's mechanic and Song Xueyang's sniper.

Orange said with a smile, "Everyone can't wait to call out the candidates' names, so we'll reveal the answer next."

The camera gave Song Xueyang and Zhang Jiayan a close-up at the right time. The two captains looked very calm and calm, but their team members were all tense and nervous.

"City of Despair" S6 season ranked No. 1 gunslinger professionally - Team Maple Moon, Broken Snow!"

Hai Xing and Shi Yi cheered happily, Song Xueyang stood up and bowed, and his game data for this year popped up on the big screen at the same time.

Occupation branch: Sniper

Number of appearances: 14

Number of fights: 3 (100% win rate)

Season average KDA: 9.5

Teamfight output ratio: 24.3%

Yao Jun glanced at the screen, "I would like to add that Xue Shen is also the player with the highest win rate, average KDA, and teamfight output ratio this season!"

The fans of Maple Moon screamed one after another, and the rumbling sound of their feet stomping the ground made their hearts surge.

Even if the winning rate in the ring is 100%, after all Song Xueyang has played only a handful of times in the ring, but the season average KDA can reach 9.5, which is really shocking.

Song Xueyang sat down, Shen Huai said congratulations immediately, Song Xueyang smiled slightly, "I will return this congratulations to you soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ju Zi say, "Next is the assassin profession..."

Before a sentence was finished, the fans shouted neatly at the scene - "Cang Yu!!"

"Cang Yu!"

"Cang Yu!"

Screams resounded from all directions of the venue, like the drumbeat of the battlefield.

Niu Niu said with a smile, "This is really not challenging, that's right! The first place in the official selection of assassins in the "City of Despair" in the S6 season is Yushen, who has just joined the Maple Moon team this year and is known as the ancestor of the assassins!"

This time it was really expected, and his season comprehensive statistics were displayed on the big screen.

Occupation Branch: Blood Assassin

Number of appearances: 11

Number of fights: 7 (100% win rate)

Season average KDA: 9.0

Teamfight output ratio: 22.3%

Shen Huai was unable to participate in the game for a period of time because of a finger injury during the group stage. The total number of games was not too many, but the quality of each game was very high. In these 7 arenas, he has beaten Si Qianjin, the No. 1 Mage in China, Jia Yunge, No. 1 in the Holy Light Profession, Xiao Zhang, No. 1 Qigong Master, Guan He, No. 1 Swordsman... Almost every match has been praised. It's an epic showdown! And under such a situation, he actually got a 100% win rate in the arena, which is enough to show his extraordinary strength!

What is even more unbelievable is that in the few teamfights he has played, he actually hit 22.3% of the output, which is really rare for the assassin profession!

The three hosts praised him again before moving on to the next link - the selection of field best.

This is the highlight of the awards ceremony every year. After all, everyone knows the championship, runner-up, and runner-up of the season in advance. The first person in each profession can also guess according to the rankings in previous years.

For the players, the professional ranking is just a gimmick, and the reward is nothing but the title and light effect in the game. The field is not the same, it is a real honor to have a trophy!

"The first is the selection of the best newcomer award in the S6 season!"

Hai Xing immediately sat up straight. Chang Jia rookie not only refers to the players who debuted in that year, but also includes players who have debuted for less than two years and have not been selected for the Chang Jia Rookie Award. Hai Xing debuted last year. He is An Lu, one of the Three Swordsmen of the Snapdragon, so he still has a chance this year.

However, he also knows that he is 80% useless. There are many rookies who made it to the quarterfinals this year. Supper, Chen Xi, and God of War all have rookies. There are seven members of the Dream Team alone. Among them, there is a big guy - Shen Huai.

That's right, although Shen Huai is already a well-known god-level player, he is indeed a newcomer who only debuted this year, and is also eligible for the Best Newcomer Award.

The lights on the stage suddenly went out, the venue echoed with a passionate battle song, and the big screen lit up.

Sure enough, an assassin appeared on the screen. There was also a Berserker standing beside him. The two were being beaten by the enemy. Seeing that they were about to die, a silver-white light beam suddenly sent them to Ximen, not only He saved his life and killed two enemies with more hits and less.

Then the screen flashed again. The White Curse Technique used a move, Li Dai Tao Zong, to help his teammates to control them. The just right big move, New Era, allowed the Epee Swordsman to directly kill two enemies!

The fierce battles were one after another, but the protagonists were all the same. At the end of the singing, the picture was frozen, and the character model of the white magician popped up.

When the lights came on, Ju Zi announced with a smile on his face, "The winner of the Best Rookie Award in the S6 season is the White Curse of the Maple Moon Team, Jing Ning!"

Zhou Jing never imagined that she actually won the Best Newcomer Award!

Shi continued to applaud, and Hai Xing also accepted the fact and offered her blessings. On the stage, Ju Zi was reading her praise, but Zhou Jing was still at a loss.

Zhou Ning patted his sister's back gently, "Go, Xiao Jing, don't be afraid."

"We invite contestant Zhou Jing to come to the stage to accept the award!"

Zhou Jing got up, she still looked indifferent, but only she knew how nervous she was.

The Best Rookie Award in the audience, every great god at the T1 level has won this honor. The crystal-like beautiful trophy is like a prophecy, indicating that the winner of this trophy will climb to professional e-sports in the near future. the pinnacle!

Zhou Jing held the trophy, feeling like a thousand layers of waves crashing against the reef, and the moment she picked up the microphone, it seemed that the world was quiet.

"First of all, I would like to thank Brother Huai and the captain who promoted me to be a regular player. If it wasn't for you, I would never have had the opportunity to stand on this stage. Secondly, I would also like to thank my teammates. I am an assistant. Without the cooperation of my teammates, no amount of subtle tactics can be achieved. Finally, I would also like to thank my brother... "

Her gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Zhou Ning in the stands. She bowed before she could say anything. There were thousands of words written in her eyes, but she only said a short sentence, "He really You have given me a lot, thank you."

Zhou Ning's nose was a little sour, and his eyes were suddenly wet, but he was still smiling. Under the camera, he was like an angel with outstretched wings protecting his loved ones.

Zhou Jing stepped off the stage, and Niu Niu said again, "Next is the annual major award, the best MVP of the game!"

There was a burst of eager cheers from the audience.

"The best MVP in the field is not only an affirmation of the players' comprehensive strength, but also the player with the highest proportion of total output in all appearances. The winner of our best MVP this year is—"

Exciting music sounded on the field at the right time. After the music ended, Niuniu's sonorous and powerful voice sounded at the same time, "Team Fengyue, Cang Yu! Please come on the field!"

Shen Huai was a little surprised. The best MVP of the game was not better than the rookie, but all the professional players present! And MVP is not only the output, but also takes into account factors such as the number of deaths, assists, kills, participation rate and other factors. It can be said that it has the widest range of judgments!

Song Xueyang followed and stretched out his hands towards him with a smile. Shen Huai couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, then reached out and hugged him tightly.

The cheers and screams at the scene suddenly resounded through the sky, like rolling thunder, deafening, and even the host's voice could not be heard clearly.

Shen Huai stepped onto the stage, and everyone's eyes were on the player who had surprised them all the way. This was his first year playing professionally, but every game he played left a deep impression on people!

In the arena 1V2, rescue the hostages and directly kill the free people, 1V6 turn against the wind, four kills in the battle of the head of state and push the enemy's commander flag... Those wonderful pictures can emerge in front of your eyes with closed eyes, and you can count them one by one with your fingers. .

Shen Huai is not good at speaking, and his speech is very simple.

"Thanks to the fans who supported me along the way, and my captain."

When his eyes touched Song Xueyang in the audience, his eyes softened, and the lights glowed brightly, "Even if we fail to win the championship, no matter what ranking we will achieve in the future, I want to say, join Fengyue. , I have no regrets!"

Song Xueyang followed the crowd and applauded, but at this moment there was nothing else in his eyes. The eyes of the two of them looked at each other across the stage and turned into a gentle warmth.

So does he.

Falling in love with Shen Huai has no regrets or regrets.
