Faced with Xu Yiming's speechlessness, Lin Xiao just laughed it off indifferently, but the onlookers in the audience were a little bit blown away.
He walked off the podium under the gazes of different expressions from all directions, and received a warm hug from Xiao Li after his triumphant return, while Zou Qiguan on the other side looked at him with bright eyes, with strong admiration ready to come out, She swayed around him excitedly: "Brother Lin, you are really amazing!"
The amazed and sized eyes of others were habitually ignored, but under Zou Qiguan's scorching gaze, Lin Xiao seemed to vaguely see the little tail wagging happily behind him, and finally couldn't help stretching out his hand to rub it. Rubbing his chestnut curly hair. Well, I have to say, it feels pretty good in the hand.
In the chaos, Liu Zeshen had silently dragged Xu Yiming away.
Liu Jinxuan opened his notebook to record the analysis of the game just now. When his eyes flicked over the figure off the field, he paused meaningfully, his expression became a little more thoughtful, and he added a few words after a pause.
Although the previous round was not long, it was enough for him to be sure that this rookie had surpassed the skills of the training camp. It's just that he doesn't know why, but he has an inexplicable feeling that this person was a little restrained during the battle just now, and he didn't fully show the rhythm he should have.
For the whole afternoon, until the end of the training activity, all the topics and discussions centered around Xiao Li's identity as a passer-by king, and Lin Xiao's sky-shattering operation.
Returning to the dormitory after dinner, Lin Xiao had just fallen on the bed when he received a call from Shen Changyu, who couldn't help but joked: "Why, didn't you just win a main election, and even the deputy team leader was alarmed so quickly?"
"Which is the main election to win?" Shen Changyu was at a loss when he heard it. He remembered the event that Liu Jinxuan had applied for before, and then realized, "Did you match up with them this afternoon?"
"That's right, I played a game with the younger generation." Lin Xiaoqi said, "So that's not why you came to me?"
Shen Changyu was silent for a moment, not in the mood to continue this topic, and first brought the focus back: "I'm looking for you for the next game against Team Tianqi."
Lin Xiao didn't need to think too much, and said, "It seems that You Jing is not willing to change the lineup under the situation where the score is tight now?"
Shen Changyu really came to Lin Xiao for this matter, and he sighed helplessly when he heard this, and silently repeated the entire negotiation process during the day in detail. After finishing speaking, he said in annoyance: "If you play according to the original planned lineup, I'm afraid it will bring a heavier burden to Team You's hands."
Lin Xiao listened quietly all the time, and only then said: "So you want to replace Qin Lei, Liu Zeshen and you in the individual competition, and Erxu and You Jing in the team competition? If this If the lineup plays against the Apocalypse team, although the probability of winning the team competition will be greater and easier, but if there are no accidents in the individual competition, it is likely to only score 1 point."
Shen Changyu nodded: "So the You team insisted on using the original lineup, so that they can win 2 points in the individual competition and at the same time sprint to victory in the team competition. If the situation is good, they can get 4 points before the team competition."
"I have to say that in this matter, if it were me, I would have made the same choice as You Jing." Lin Xiao raised the corners of his lips leisurely, and said, "The Apocalypse team led by Lao Yan is not a soft persimmon. In the case that the winning rate of the team competition itself cannot be guaranteed, if you don't try to get more points in the front as much as possible, judging from the current standings, it is indeed difficult for the team to barely lose points in the next few rounds after qualifying. "
Shen Changyu was choked by his words, and immediately became even more speechless: "Team Lin, you..."
"From an emotional point of view, I really don't agree with this kind of risky behavior that may aggravate the injury. But from a rational point of view, facing a team that may qualify at any time, such a risk is indeed imperative." Lin Xiao said, Slightly emotional, "It is undeniable that You Jing is indeed very conscious and responsible as a pillar of the team. In this regard, I really can't find any reason to stop him."
Shen Chang and Shen Mo: "Then let him persevere like this?"
"From the current situation, there is nothing we can do about it. We can only hope that the situation will not develop in a bad direction." Lin Xiao also has nothing to do, "When the time comes to the field, you have to pay more attention to him. Case."
Shen Changyu replied helplessly: "I will."
"It's not convenient for You Jing to say it, but you can stop it when it's time to stop it. Don't be too pressured. No matter how many points you score in the match against Tianqi, it is inevitable for the team to enter the playoffs." Lin Xiao looked sideways at the stars all over the sky outside the house, with a scattered smile in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will find a way to officially enter the team before the next round, and the last two rounds will total 20 points, one point None less."
Shen Changyu couldn't help but fluctuate a bit in his tone: "Have you already thought of a way to join the team?"
"When the time comes, it will not be difficult to get in. However, Deputy Shen will need to contribute a little bit!" Lin Xiao said with a smile. Let's finish the game, fighting!"
Although separated by the phone, Shen Changyu still seemed to have made up a row of undulating wavy lines from such a smiling tone of voice, and couldn't help shivering. However, after this conversation, I was inexplicably at ease, and my impetuous mood calmed down inexplicably, and finally a smile appeared on my face: "Well, I will work hard."
…
Two days later, according to the schedule, the current round of the Black Rose team happened to be held in the Rainbow E-sports Stadium in H City.
Liu Jinxuan entered the training camp early in the morning and chose a few people to go to the secondary theater to watch the battle together. This list also reflects the importance the head coach attaches to everyone, because when the two new members, Lin Xiao and Xiao Li, were also in the ranks, they inevitably received a lot of envious eyes before they set off.
As the time for the start of the war approached, the venue gradually filled with people.
The warm-up host actively drove the atmosphere, while the commentator gave a brief introduction to the players of both sides, and occasionally joked with each other, which caused the audience to laugh again and again.
Fans from both sides held up the posters and LED signs of the team members and shouted the names of the players. However, the shouts in this game were more enthusiastic than usual.
Wave after wave of shouts seemed as if the two teams had not yet started fighting, and the fans were already facing each other with swords drawn.
The commentator Xiao Wu interacted with her partner: "Both teams are very popular. It can be seen that the fans are very passionate today!"
Maodou said with a smile: "That's true. After all, Team Tianqi and Team Black Rose can be said to be one of the most popular teams in the league. Today's match is even more highly anticipated."
Xiao Wu looked at the information of each team member that appeared on the big screen one after another, sorted out the manuscripts in her hand, and said: "From the perspective of the current players, the general lineups of the two sides basically have not changed much today. Will there be any new strategies in the battle?"
Maodou glanced at the current time, and then said: "It's 15:29, the game is about to start, I can't wait."
After the words fell, the light in the arena suddenly dimmed, and when it was lit up again, players from both sides entered the arena one after another through the side doors on both sides.
With the switch of the director's camera, the side faces of the contestants were shown on the big screen one after another, and the zoomed-in close-ups passed one by one, causing another burst of screams in the field.
At the end, the two close-up shots of the captains of both teams were simultaneously displayed on the big screen, one on the left and one on the right, bringing the atmosphere on the field to a new climax.
Lin Xiao hadn't seen You Jing for several days, so he couldn't help but take a second look at that face that looked perfect from any angle, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
It has to be said that wearing the uniform of the team on this person really has an indescribable sense of fit, which sets off his coldness more profoundly, and also hides that introverted coldness very thoroughly.
Thinking this way in my heart, I closed my eyes immediately, and when I turned my gaze, it fell on the face of the other man.
It is still the brows that have been tightened all the year round, and the angular profile. Five years has added a more mature and stable atmosphere to this man. Even if he just stands on stage like this, he still has an indescribable sense of oppression.
This is the most experienced veteran in the Glory League, and also the longest-standing professional player in the e-sports circle. He completely dedicates himself to Captain Tianqi regardless of the consequences, and is enough to make everyone who loves the e-sports field respect him. The awe-inspiring and well-deserved king, Yan Duzhou, known as the "King of Hades".
If the e-sports circle is also a microcosm of the entertainment circle, in this era where black fans are rampant, no matter which player it is, it is inevitable to be controversial, but there is one person who has never been questioned.
Regardless of victory or defeat, his existence is like a milestone in the league. The end of each game is a strong stroke in the history of e-sports.
When this familiar figure fell into his eyes, Lin Xiao couldn't help correcting his posture, silently paying tribute to this old friend and rival.
If he had to say who he thoroughly admired in the alliance, perhaps Yan Duzhou was the only one.
He is very clear about the reason why this man has not chosen to retire until now, and it is precisely because of knowing that he respects him even more.
Regardless of whether this man has ever won a world trophy, in his mind, he is already an irreplaceable uncrowned king.
