For Love of the Game

Chapter 159: The eve of the World Championships

Views:

The training room of the Maple Moon team was quiet, and no one dared to speak for a while, everyone, look at me, I look at you, Zhou Ning first comforted, "After King retires, Spade is the world's most recognized solo player. , no one can guarantee 100% victory under him, you have the strength to fight with him, but this one happens to be the loser."

Fan Jingming also said, "There are many factors that determine the outcome, and strength only accounts for part of it. South Korea does not need to participate in the wild card competition. During this period of time, they have been recharging their energy, and their state is definitely better than ours. Besides, a private Solo also shows that nothing."

"Hmmm," Shi Yi said with concern, "and Spade is not always victorious, he has also lost to the pass team, as long as e-sports players have lost games."

Hai Xing has been nodding, very anxious, "That's right! We will fight again in the World Championship! He won this game, it does not mean that he will win in the World Championship, and for us, Fengyue will definitely be able to beat them all. Get down!"

Shen Huai suddenly pushed aside the swivel chair and stood up, the whole room fell silent, and their eyes were fixed on him.

Shen Huai said calmly, "Spade's level is similar to what I expected. If I put all my strength into it, there should be no problem."

Everyone blinked, but they didn't realize the meaning of his words for a while.

Zhou Jing said, "Brother Huai means that you didn't use all your strength just now?"

Shen Huai nodded, "I read on Weibo that Jin Chengjun is lazy and basically doesn't play games outside of training time. Even his master King has to work hard to invite him to live broadcast. Why did he take the initiative to register on Weibo in China this time? Looking for my PK?"

Hai Xing said dumbly, "Because you beat three Americans in the wild card tournament, so he can't sit still?"

Zhou Jing Bingxue was smart and immediately understood what Shen Huai meant, "It's not Spade who can't sit still, but the Rider team behind him."

Shi Yi also reacted, "So, Spade's purpose is not to compete with Master, but to be asked by the team to inquire about the enemy's situation?"

Everyone thought about it carefully, and they all felt that this was very reasonable. South Korea likes to study data very much. Team Rider also has a special data team responsible for analyzing the game data of each player. Shen Huai is a rookie who started playing professional games this year, and has made a big splash in the wild card competition. It is normal for the Korean team to want to inquire about his level in advance. Maybe when Spade and Shen Huai PK, he is surrounded by a group of analysts. Woolen cloth

Hai Xing immediately turned from worry to joy, "Shen Huai, you are too smart! I was so worried about me just now that I thought you really lost!"

Shi Yi showed a shy smile, "That's right, Master hasn't hit a double-hit in the true sense, how can you lose?"

Hai Xing was stunned, "Didn't you fight? What's the real meaning?"

Zhou Jing was speechless, "How on earth did you become a regular team member like this?"

Shiyi explained patiently, "The real double-hit is to hit the death mark and the soul at the same time, and then hit the death mark in one second, then hit the shadow mark, and use the shuriken to trigger it remotely. But just now, Master is just redemption one. After completing the death mark within seconds, and when the card is in the end of the immune state, it is equivalent to fighting for two seconds of absolute safety for myself, of course it is different."

Shen Huai said lightly, "In the end, I still have to show some real skills."

Hai Xing snorted and remembered something again, "But the netizens thought you really lost to Spade! Someone must be down!"

Shen Huai smiled, "Just believe me."

"Of course! I'm the first to believe in you!"

Song Xueyang interjected, "The game is over, shouldn't it be time for everyone to train? If we can't complete the task tonight, we have to stay for additional training."

There was a crackling sound in the training room, and everyone returned to their seats to continue training, but this time they were less worried, and everyone was more engaged than before.

If Shen Huai can defeat Jin Chengjun, they will be one step closer to their goal of winning the world championship. Of course, they have to work hard and cannot hold back the team!

After Song Xueyang arranged everyone, he said to Shen Huai, who had returned to the arena hall and was about to continue training, "Shen Huai, go to the reference room with me to print out tomorrow's training plan."

"it is good."

The two left the training room and walked towards the reference room. It was a quiet night outside the window. The lights in the corridor were not turned on, and the light in the room was half-dark.

Shen Huai looked at the shadows of the two of them, and heard the sound of low footsteps. Song Xueyang deliberately filled his paces, and walked for a long time from the training room to the stairs.

When turning, Shen Huai stopped and looked at the steps extending upwards, but did not take the first step.

Song Xueyang looked back at him, and said with a smile, "Why don't you climb?"

Shen Huai paused, "I just want to see how long it will take to climb, it's too late."

Song Xueyang smiled and said nothing, but extended his hand towards him.

Shen Huai looked at him suspiciously, and took his hand under Song Xueyang's gesture, his fingertips were suddenly squeezed tightly, and then a force was transmitted from the palm to the whole body, Shen Huai staggered and walked three steps. He was steadily caught by Song Xueyang.

"I don't know how long others will go, but you must be faster than everyone."

The second half of the sentence was a low whisper that echoed in his ears.

"Because you have me."

Shen Huai's heart seemed to be moved for a moment, he didn't say anything, just grabbed Song Xueyang's hand tightly, the ring he was wearing around his neck slipped out of the collar of his shirt, and unexpectedly hit his sight.

He suddenly remembered what Song Xueyang said on the talk show before - my dream is to realize his dream.

Song Xueyang smiled and squeezed his hand, "Let's go."

"Um."

Shen Huai knew very well that Jin Chengjun's strength was within his expectations and beyond his imagination.

It's not that he didn't use double combos, but that Kim Seung-joon didn't give him a chance to fight back at all. There are two reasons for the defeat, one is walking, and the other is tactics. But these two are not his shortcomings, which is fatal.

It was the first time he experienced the feeling of being pressed and beaten, and it was also the first time that he was trapped by the enemy in the 1v1 arena. In the end, Jin Chengjun jumped into the water to deceive him, but he didn't realize it until the end. this problem.

Kim Seung-joon's level is too close to his. He has talent, strength, brain, quick reaction ability, active thinking, and self-confidence in his own strength. He even has a few more years of experience in the arena and operates a career that is more suitable for singles in the arena than him.

So if you want to beat him, it is not enough to keep pace with him, you must surpass him.

These are all things Shen Huai wanted to understand the moment he lost the game.

But now it's different.

He looked at Song Xueyang's tightly clasped hand and felt the warmth and strength from between his fingers. He thought that he could walk faster and higher than anyone, because he had the best military strategist in the world, which Kim Seung-joon never had.

The news that Shen Huai lost to Jin Chengjun spread all over the Internet overnight. If it hadn't been seen with their own eyes, no one would believe that Shen Huai would actually lose. Because the word "Cang Yu" has always represented the myth of a hundred victories in a hundred battles, since he started live broadcasting, no one has ever seen him lose.

Netizens all exploded.

[Fuck! God Spade is so powerful? Even Yushen didn't beat him? ?]

[I thought that with Yushen there, China would have the hope of winning the World Championship this year, but now it seems that I still can’t beat the stick, which is boring.]

[It's just an online game, what does it mean to lose? Which god in the circle has never lost? It's just that Cang Yu has less live broadcasts and we haven't seen it. It doesn't mean that this is his first time losing. I believe that Yu Shen will be able to adjust his state soon, and take his revenge today at the World Championships!]

[It’s too fast to lose... I think Fengyue is still not good this year, I had expected Yushen to carry alone, and now even Yushen can’t beat Spade, I still pin my hope of winning the championship this year on Xiaolang team. Bar! After all, it is an old-fashioned team, and its performance is more stable.]

[Originally, the hope of Xiaolang winning is even greater! ! Have you forgotten who this year's champion is? And this year's semi-final Yan team did not play, Fengyue only won the runner-up. I admit that Feather God is very powerful, and Snow God is also a top-notch expert, but the level of other team members is still not as good as Xiaolang and WG, and there are too many newcomers. If they can help Xiaolang eliminate a few more enemies, it will complete the mission.]

Netizens are righteous, but a private game concluded that Fengyue would not go far in this year's World Championship.

However, the members of the Maple Moon team have already honed their strong will, and no matter what the netizens say, they cannot be affected at all.

Even Hai Xing was not angry at all this time. He was convinced that Shen Huai deliberately lost to Jin Chengjun out of tactical secrecy. Face.

Shen Huai's hard work was not in vain for his efforts.

After losing to Jin Chengjun last time, Shen Huai has also become more serious. Every morning, he wakes up an hour earlier than usual, and sleeps an hour later at night. He is dedicated to Song Xueyang as a moving target. In his opinion, if he can dodge the bullets of Song Xueyang, a sharpshooter who has a hundred hits, then his position is absolutely qualified.

As for tactics, because Shen Huai surrendered when he lost to Jin Chengjun, many diehard fans believed that he had hope of winning, so they made various dynamic videos of endgame cracking, although most of the methods were somewhat inappropriate for the situation at the time , and some people used various special effects to sneak through the levels, but Shen Huai was also inspired a lot by looking at them one by one. With Song Xueyang's guidance, he felt that his thinking had broadened a lot.

Half a month passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the "City of Despair" world finals.

Everyone in Fengyue was ready to go. At this time, Chairman Hua held a video conference for their teams participating in the World Championships this year. The core content is basically only one sentence - to win the championship.

At the end of the video, Chairman Hua sighed that China had won the runner-up too many times. He wanted to hear the Chinese national anthem played at the awards ceremony and see the five-star red flag raised in the center.

When he said something, everyone seemed to be beaten with blood, full of strength, and Zhang Jiayan even shouted at the microphone, "This year's world champion must be WG!", which caused everyone to laugh.

Seeing him so full of energy, Shen Huai felt a lot more at ease. In addition to winning the world championship, he and Zhang Jiayan had a chance to face off. The hard work this year will all be spent in the next month or so. burst out.

After Chairman Hua's meeting, Song Xueyang also held a mobilization meeting for them, and finally clarified the rules of the World Championship. Because this was Fengyue's first time entering the World Championship, Song Xueyang said a few more words.

"The rules of the World Championships are similar to the National Finals. The difference is that the B05 format will be adopted from the group stage, and each player can only play three times at most. The five-match mode is still one 1V1, two 2V2 and 6V6. At the same time, in the 1v1 arena, the end of a fight has been added, and the winner will no longer be sent back to the safe zone, nor will it clear the rules of the negative state, everyone should pay special attention to this.”

This information was announced a month ago by the World Tournament Committee. Everyone knows that Sea Star is impatient, "I know, so when will we set off?"

Song Xueyang closed the book and said with a smile, "Tomorrow."

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't know the news until now!

"I'm afraid you know it too early and don't have the heart to train today."

"Fuck...Fuck!" Hai Xing let out a scream, "I made a deal with my mother to go home for dinner before I left!!"

Song Xueyang clicked on the table, smiling confidently, "When you come back, eat with the celebration banquet and let Auntie cook a hearty meal."

Hae-sung smiles, that's a good idea, that meal is what he's really looking forward to.

This mobilization meeting ended quickly, because everyone was rushing back to pack their bags.

Shen Huai put away his clothes hanging outside, folded the suitcase, and brought him a warm cup of milk by Song Xueyang.

Shen Huai stood up when he saw him, "Are you ready?"

"Well, I was prepared." He said this without feeling guilty at all, and he didn't know who caused everyone to start cleaning up until now.

Shen Huai raised his eyebrows, "The last one?"

"Okay."

The two turned on the computer, entered the room specially built for the two of them, and played a 1v1 game.

This is what they have been doing every day for more than half a month, no matter how tired and sleepy, it has never stopped for a day.

Time seemed to freeze in this picture, until the gunshot broke the silence, the assassin in black turned over and jumped, and the corners of his clothes flew, wiping the trajectory of the bullet lightly. There seemed to be endless steps behind him. There were two people on the steps. They grabbed each other's hands and walked forward step by step.
