After the people of Fengyue had survived the devil-like training of sleepless nights and food, they finally ushered in the national finals of "City of Despair".
As an old top eight team, it is not the first time for everyone to come to Beijing, but this time their goal is very clear - the championship trophy!
Zhou Ning and his teammates were rounding at the hotel, and Song Xueyang called them to finally talk about the precautions for the national competition.
The National Finals adopts a single-elimination system, which means that from now on, they will be eliminated immediately if they lose a game. If they want to win the championship, they must not be sloppy.
Song Xueyang said, "Every next game is not easy to play, but since the start of the group stage in March, we have been playing for nearly half a year. In terms of experience and training time, we do not lose to any team, in terms of training. You also made me very satisfied with the results. Next, I will not let you play steadily, to win, I need you to perform exceptionally!"
“From now on, as long as you are on the field, you must concentrate every minute and every second, absolutely obey the team’s arrangements, and let go of all personal matters. You are the players, and all the next time must be dedicated to this team. Responsible with teammates, understand?"
Everyone said in unison, "Understood!"
Song Xueyang returned to his smiling face, "Of course, if we can win the championship, I invite everyone to go to Japan to soak in hot springs."
Everyone cheered.
While Hai Xing was happy, he didn't forget to ask, "Captain, why are you being so generous recently? Are you carrying our sugar daddy behind your back?"
Zhou Ning teased, "That's right, before, when it comes to birthday treats, you have to choose a 10% discount for members."
Song Xueyang raised a finger on his lips, "Shh, you can't say it."
Shen Huai glared at him, Song Xueyang not only did not reflect, but secretly winked at him.
"Also, tonight's opening ceremony requires the captain and vice-captain of each team to come on stage to play the team competition. Zhou Ning has to come with me."
"Okay," Zhou Ning responded, "Who is this year's opening warm-up?"
The national finals are the highest level of the domestic "City of Despair" professional league, and the opening ceremony is also very grand. Every year, two well-known professional gods are selected to play solo as the opening warm-up, and the effect is surprisingly good.
Song Xueyang outlines the corner of his mouth, "Captain Guan and Team Hu."
Everyone was immediately excited.
Guan He is the world's number one swordsman player, and he almost represents the highest level of solo solo in China. He is definitely worth watching. Although Hu Nana's reputation is not that loud, her strength is not bad.
The two are both masters and the same captain, the effect of this warm-up must be very good.
Fan Jingming found the problem, "Since you have chosen a qigong master, why didn't you let Xiao Zhang play?"
Shi Yi said, "Because Xiao Zhang is not the captain, right?"
Song Xueyang smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang and us in the group match to rescue the hostages, it was revealed that he did not report Shen Huai's position to Team Hu at the last minute. Although the God of War has been suppressing this news, the competition committee is not Fool, definitely dare not use Xiao Zhang at this time."
Hai Xing was relieved, "Deserving it! Who told him to be careful and look down on others?"
Zhou Jing asked, "I heard that you have invited a mysterious guest from the entertainment industry this time?"
Song Xueyang nodded, "Nowadays, there are many stars who love to play games. It is not difficult to invite a few. The organizer has done a good job of keeping secrets. The identities of the guests have not been revealed yet, but maybe Shen Huai knows?"
There was a hint of warmth in Shen Huai's eyes, "It's Shi Cen and Liu Yueran."
Shi Cen is his junior brother and an artist under his father's company. He is a game fan. He can play two games of mobile games while waiting for the stage in the lounge. The good relationship between the two is also because of the game, but Shen Huai did not And he revealed that he is Cang Yu.
As for Liu Yueran, he was his monitor in college and the only close friend among his classmates. Shen Huai has been playing professional e-sports for more than half a year, and Liu Yueran has also starred in a very popular urban drama. Now is the time for his fame to rise.
He was familiar with both of them, but he didn't expect to meet at the opening ceremony of the national finals of "City of Despair" one day.
That night, eight teams gathered at the national finals of "City of Despair" in Beijing. The reporters had already blocked the door, and enthusiastic fans crowded outside the arena holding support cards, just to have a close look at their idols.
When the Fengyue people got off the car, they were shocked by the lively scene in front of them. Every time they came to participate in the national competition, they would have an indescribable sense of pride.
Starfish's eyes are shining, "I hope I can stay here a little longer this year."
Fengyue's current best result is fourth, and in other seasons, she was eliminated in the first round of the quarterfinals.
Shi Yi took his shoulder, "Yes, we will definitely fight to the end."
Hai Xing didn't expect Shi Yi to be so confident, "You... so confident!"
Shi Yi touched his ears embarrassedly, "After all, we've been training for so long... Besides, I trust the captain and master!"
He said this, and Hai Xing also felt confident.
It wasn't because they wanted to rely on Song Xueyang and Shen Huai to win the game, but because of the two of them, everyone felt confident.
As soon as they appeared, the fans of the Maple Moon team immediately cheered, and the various "Snow Gods", "Ningshen", "Mingming" and "Xingxing" did not even fall behind Shi Yi and Zhou Jing.
Halfway through, a loud slogan suddenly sounded from the crowd on the right.
"Maple Moon will win, Yushen will marry me!"
Several people stopped unconsciously, the fans held up their support cards, and the little girls in the front were wearing Maple Moon women's team uniforms. After shouting, they felt embarrassed and pushed their faces red.
Shen Huai couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth and bowed to them.
The female fans screamed in excitement.
Others were a little embarrassed.
Thinking about how Shen Huai walked this way when the group stage started, he almost didn't get sprayed to death, but in just a few months, the same way, the treatment was completely different.
Some fans asked Shen Huai to take a photo with the support card. Shen agreed. The support card was very big. He wanted to turn the card over, but the fans quickly stopped him.
"No, no, double-sided."
As a result, as soon as he got it in his hand, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and some whistling, and even the face of the female fan who just handed him the cheering card turned red.
Shen Huai looked down and saw "Snow God, I love you" written on the other side of the support card.
"… "
Shen Huai immediately turned the sign over, revealing the side of "Feather God Marry Me", and left without looking back after taking the photo.
Everyone in Fengyue who witnessed the whole process said that CP fans are really scary, and they have to be on guard at all times.
Entering the backstage of the venue, it was even more lively inside. The top eight teams were all there, Guan He, Hu Nana, Zhang Jiayan, Si Qianjin... The masters of various professions gathered, and any one of them was a prominent figure in today's circle.
In addition, there are some new faces. This year, the Rubik's Cube team lost to Thunder and Chenxi in the Loser's Resurrection Tournament, and missed the national finals. Instead, it was a rookie team-Dream Team.
Si Qianjin first glanced at Shen Huai, "Feather God! We meet again!"
He ran over and shook hands with Shen Huai, "Before you and Lao Song..."
Shen Huai squeezed his subordinate Qianjin's hand hard, and when he was too nervous, Si Qianjin screamed and jumped up on one leg.
Thunder's vice-captain came over and pulled him away, "Captain, can you stop embarrassing our team?"
As soon as the two of them left, a thorny boy ran over and bowed to Shen Huai, "Hello Yushen!"
He buried his head deeply, his sweat soaked hair shone brightly under the light, and his whole body was filled with a youthful and youthful aura.
Shen Huai saw the team uniform on him and recognized that this was the captain of the Dream Team, Luo Lie.
Shen Huai reached out to him, "Hello Captain Luo."
After saying hello, Luo Lie planned to run away, but a pair of clean and slender hands suddenly appeared in his sight. He was so excited that he held both of them and bowed deeply. As a result, his forehead slammed heavily on Shen Huai's arm.
Don't talk about him, Shen Huai was numb after being hit by him.
"I'm sorry, sorry!"
His teammates ran over and hooked his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Don't take offense to Yushen, he is your fan."
Shen Huai nodded, "Come on for the game."
This time, the two little devils were stunned. The later teammates touched their heads embarrassedly. Luo Lie said excitedly, cheered, pulled his teammates and ran away.
Everyone was speechless for a while, and sure enough, no one in the country who played assassins was not a fan of Cang Yu.
Zhang Jiayan waved to Shen Huai from a distance, and Jia Yunge ran over directly. Today, he cosplayed the level 150 final boss Shadow Ghost King in "City of Despair", with thin and long red eyeshadow and green lips. Out of the haunted house.
Everyone in Fengyue was already familiar with Jia Yunge, and everyone applauded as soon as he appeared.
"Handsome!" "Too similar!" "It scared me!"
Because he received Jia Yunge's gift last time, Shen Huai also prepared a return gift this time, a box of star-level makeup tools.
Jia Yunge liked it very much. He took out his little pink pig doll and pressed it. Zhang Jiayan's voice of thanks came from inside.
As soon as he left, Guan He walked far away.
Shen Huai's expression became formal when he saw him.
Guan He was wearing the pure black team uniform of the Xiaolang team, with a red head wolf embroidered on his chest. Perhaps because of his strong aura, he just wore the ordinary sportswear out of the temperament of a suit.
"Hello, Cang Yu, it's the first time we meet." Guan He stretched out his hand towards him.
"Hello Team Guan." Shen Huai held his hand, and his aura didn't lose to Guan He at all. The official appearance of the two was like a meeting between the leaders of the two countries.
"I'm looking forward to fighting with you."
Shen Huai looked at him fixedly, "Me too."
Although this is Shen Huai's first time participating in a national competition, everyone knows his strength, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is a master who can rival Guan He.
The two were in a pair, and the entire venue was quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on them invariably.
After Guan He said this, he looked at Song Xueyang again, "Come on, I hope to play against Fengyue this year."
This is a bit crazy, but no one thinks it's wrong. Xiaolang can play the last game of the finals every year. He wants to fight Fengyue, but Fengyue really has to work harder.
Song Xueyang smiled and said, "Of course, if you want to win the championship, you can't bypass Xiaolang."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the entire venue changed, as if it was frozen and frozen in an instant.
The little saplings of Fengyue only felt that they were shivering in the cold wind. Why do you have to make enemies before the war, captain! They are now the target of all the criticism, okay
A neat "captain" sounded in the distance, Yao Jun and Niu Niu walked in, followed by a pretty and lovely girl next to Niu Niu.
Yao Jun first went to greet the members of the God of War team, while Niu Niu went to Guan He. The girl looked left and right and walked towards Fengyue.
"Zhou Ning!" She directly bypassed Fengyue and stood in front of Zhou Ning, "Long time no see, it's the national competition again."
Zhou Ning smiled politely, "Long time no see, Sister Orange."
"Ouch!" Fan Jingming shouted loudly, "Jumei~ Vice-Captain, I remember you were quite shy, when did you kiss Tangzi so much?"
Zhou Ning's ears turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense."
He didn't want to either, it was Orange that forced him to call it that.
Fan Jingming's voice grew louder, "Why are you blushing? Are you two okay?"
"Xiao Ming!"
Orange did not deny it, standing beside Zhou Ning and winked at Fan Jingming.
Orange is the official commentator of the "City of Despair" competition committee. Every year, he will appear on the commentary stage of the national competition. He looks cute and has a sweet voice and is very popular.
But everyone in the circle knew that Juzi was interested in Zhou Ning, and Fan Jingming knew that why he dared to shout so loudly.
In their opinion, Zhou Ning and Juzi are talented and beautiful, Zhou Ning is gentle and careful, and Juzi is a little weird, which is just right.
Too bad they don't know what to do.
Zhou Ning glanced at Xiaolang subconsciously, but Guan He just happened to be looking sideways at him.
He hurriedly lowered his head, he barely believed what Guan He said that day, but he didn't think they were suitable, the reality gap between the two was too big, it was difficult to be together, and he couldn't figure out what Guan He wanted to be with him. How firm the heart is.
In short, Zhou Ning did not agree.
Anyway, he has to play games and take care of the family, so he doesn't have time to think about it, so let's go.
If Guan He really had to be with him, it would be his turn to work hard.
Orange stared at Zhou Ning for a while, "Zhou Ning, have a meal together at night?"
"Yo yo yo~"
Zhou Ning was a little embarrassed, "I still want to play, let's wait until the game is over."
Juzi directly approached Song Xueyang, "Song team, lend me Deputy Team Zhou for one night? It's just a meal time, please!"
Song Xueyang smiled and said, "You can also borrow it, but after we win the championship."
Orange snorted, "You're too stingy, you'll be fine if you lend me a while, there's no game tonight anyway."
"There is no game tonight, but if I have a meal with you, Vice Team Zhou may not be able to take it back for a month."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Ju Zi couldn't help blushing. He leaned over to Song Xueyang and whispered, "Xue Shen, is there no girl in this world that you can't catch?"
Song Xueyang bent down and said mysteriously, "Then you are really right."
Ju Zi knew that Song Xueyang was there, and when she wanted to invite Zhou Ning to dinner, she had no hope. Just as she was about to approach her again, she heard someone calling her.
"tangerinr."
"Hey." Orange turned around, and the owner's eyes almost fell out when he saw the voice.
Guan He actually talked to her? !
Orange has not spoken to Guan He for so many years in the e-sports circle, and she is completely stunned.
Guan He walked slowly, "I have something to look for you."
"Me?" Orange pointed to himself in disbelief.
Guan He nodded.
"Okay." Orange followed him with a confused look on his face, not knowing what Guan He could do with her along the way.
