In the blink of an eye, the national competition that everyone has been looking forward to has completely started.
The highest level of competition in the national service competition area has been promoted for a whole month. The subway billboards and bus stop signs have already replaced the promotional posters, which can be described as highly anticipated.
Among them are 16 teams from the top level of the country participating. After this year's big change, it is really hard to predict who will win the championship.
The national competition has always been the event where professional players are most prone to unstable operations.
The highest honor trophy in the national server, the accumulated pressure from inside and outside, just because they want to win the championship too much, the players who usually show off and carry the team will have a slightly broken mentality, and the whole game will be played strangely.
But that's exactly the case, the configuration of each team has been reshuffled, and the variables are uncertain. If you want to beat the top three, it's like buying stocks, which is more interesting.
The SVG team got No. 4 in Group A in the group stage, while the tripartite MW and OPW teams both got into Group B.
Due to the single round-robin competition system within the group, the competitions are played in different venues and at the same time.
In the commercial vehicle.
Qiao Yan sat in the back row with his eyes closed, and Li Zhongchen chatted with the coach.
Li Zhongchen said in a low voice: "It's really unexpected to play against his old partner in the group stage."
Coach: "The transfer happened the year before last, but it feels like it's been a few years. I almost forgot that Rambo in the 7zm team is Xiao Qiao's former teammate. Today's highlights come up again."
The seed teams for the warm-up match were drawn first, and the first round of SVG draws was the 7zm team, and this professional player named Rambo was once Qiao Yan's closest teammate, and was the output thigh of the MW first team with Zou Qing.
One can imagine how much 7zm paid for being poached from MW, the royal club.
And Rambo's 7zm team is the No. 3 in Group A of today's group stage, so it matches the No. 4 SVG team.
Li Zhongchen was noncommittal: "Eight into four teams can grind for a week. In Group A, apart from encountering AC Loft, it is more interesting to play against 7zm."
Yao Tong added to the topic: "That's right, the main event is in Group B, and the next door is indeed more exciting."
But as for the evaluation of Rambo, Yao Tong speculated that after Qiao Di returned to the United States, the clubs took advantage of the vacancy and made wishful thinking to poach people.
And this buddy is a relatively passive DPS player. Under Qiao Yan's command, he can cooperate well with his teammates, but without Qiao Yan, his performance in the usual training games always seems to be unsatisfactory.
Rambo is willing to leave, perhaps because he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, or maybe he wants to make some new breakthroughs.
The coach said again: "After the winner's group and the loser's group are played, the watershed will be decided. There is no need to have any pressure in the group stage. The first thing is to adjust the mentality, and don't care about the next group."
Yao Tong also patted Li Zhongchen on the shoulder: "Steady your mind and eat as much as you can."
Li Zhongchen said silently: "Yes, I know."
With just a few words, the topic ended, and the team car finally stopped in the parking lot of the No. 1 competition hall.
Li Zhongchen zipped up his team uniform and got out of the car. Others walked forward in twos and threes. He was waiting for Qiao Yan who was seated at the back.
Qiao Yan also got out of the car, and naturally placed his palm on Li Zhongchen's back: "Don't forget what I told you earlier."
"What's the matter?" Li Zhongchen deliberately teased him, "Considering the official announcement of the relationship after the national competition?"
"..." Qiao Yan was shy and irritable, "When did I say that? I said that Rambo didn't play in the preliminaries. He has too many tricks, so I ask you to pay more attention."
Although the two of them were walking at the end of the team, there was a rustling sound behind them, indicating that there were people from other teams, but Li Zhongchen didn't care.
Seeing that Qiao Yan blushed and wanted to avoid him and go first, he quickly grabbed the other's hand.
Li Zhongchen smiled: "Oh, I must remember it all, just to tease you."
During the speech, Li Zhongchen scratched Qiao Yan's palm with his index finger, as if he was far away from his reckless actions.
At first, it felt like writing, and the movement was very light, which made Qiao Yan feel itchy.
It's too blatant, but Qiao Yan is letting him do everything right now.
Walking behind the crowd, everywhere is filled with the sweet atmosphere exclusive to young couples breaking through the sky.
However, today's atmosphere should be serious and tense. When thinking of this, Qiao Yan lowered his eyes and smiled, and at the same time, he held Li Zhongchen's hand tightly and put it into his team uniform pocket.
This way others can't see that they are holding hands.
Because of this, only Qiao Yan could feel Li Zhongchen's hand trembling slightly in the obscure corner that no one else could know, and it was still cold.
Qiao Yan glanced up, and saw Li Zhongchen's heroic face, his expression remained the same, as if his clenched hands didn't seem to be sweating. That kind of emotional resonance was almost taken by Qiao Yan as an illusion.
Qiao Yan held his hand even tighter, but his tone was very quiet: "Don't be stressed, don't be confused, just like you told me last time."
About to enter the elevator, all members of the SVG team with an average height of 1.8 meters are heroic.
Li Zhongchen took a step forward and replied softly, "I will."
— Against the wind and waves, the king returns!
It took Li Zhongchen nearly two years to stand on the stage again when the spotlight hit his face.
For their professional players, how many two years can they squander.
"Echo! The holder of the highest number of kills in a single game on the national server! The most well-deserved king of killers!"
"The peak of the highest MVP score! The waves of the Yangtze River push the waves behind, but they can't push Brother E!"
Horse, the top commentator of the Apex event, known as Xiao Ma, praised Li Zhongchen like tap water for free.
But in this circle so far, no one knows how ugly Li Zhongchen stepped on the Echo when Li Zhongchen was in decline.
JuJu: "Could it be that Brother Ma is in a good mood today? It's not like your style!"
Brother Xiao Ma smiled and replied: "The return of the king exploded in an instant! Except for the divorce of Brother Gou's lifeline, I believe everyone has seen Echo's performance after his return! I don't need to say more, right?"
JuJu: "Brother Xiao Ma is famously rational, this is true, let us look forward to the second group of events together!"
In the two minutes before the start of the game, the coach wanted to give some extra instructions, but Li Zhongchen stopped him.
Outsiders don't know, they think Li Zhongchen is a brawny man, and he is very Buddhist about playing games. But he has been recuperating for nearly a year, the fiasco of the game and the departure of his old teammates are all sharp knives piercing his heart.
He is really under pressure now.
"... I know that I have been looking for a counselor a little more frequently in the last week," but before the game, Li Zhongchen gave everyone a reassurance, "But don't panic, nothing will go wrong."
Qiao Yan said: "You..."
At this time, the loud sound of the speaker covered Qiao Yan's voice in the earphone.
Li Zhongchen didn't hear clearly, but it doesn't matter, this time they are no longer opponents, but teammates fighting side by side and going to a higher place, no matter what they say, they can make him feel at ease.
"The audience at the scene and you in front of the camera on the live broadcast platform, please don't blink, the second set of SVG battles against 7zm will begin soon!"
The audience boiled, and the sky exploded—
The national competition is more exciting than the warm-up competition, and the competition system before and after the group competition will change, which means that after the winner group and the loser group are determined by the A and B groups, the promotion competition will be conducted with a multi-team system.
There are too many factors to consider in winning or losing. It is no wonder that in the warm-up match, which team wins can only boast, and loses will be scolded. Some players even don't plan to wade into the water.
I opened the custom server of the competitive mode and entered the competition server. The group competition system is to place the two teams in any position in the safe area of the map, and the guns and equipment are randomly distributed.
The safe zone combat mode is retained, and each team only has 120 seconds to search for supplies before starting to shrink the circle.
The distribution of materials is random and irregular, and the landing point is unknown. On the basis of many uncertain factors, it is more about luck than strength
Play 20 rounds each round and accumulate points.
Not much to say, the first SVG came out of the lineup of double assault and nanny, don't follow the wrong way—
Brother Xiao Ma: "The drop-off location is set at the Shanhu Lake in the northwest corner and the entire area with a radius of 20 miles! Let's see, is there any team that dares to run naked and slide the rope into the central area to search for supplies?!"
JuJu: "That's what I just said! Brother Gou! It really is Echo! The fastest man in the Apex national server!"
"Pfft." Qiao Yan's indistinct laughter came from the earphones.
The room burst into laughter, and Li Zhongchen couldn't laugh or cry either.
He said in his heart that it's fine for others to laugh, how ambiguous this sentence is, baby, why are you laughing as an insider
Looking around, Li Zhongchen asked: "You can come here, how is the rear?"
"The rear is ruled out," Qiao Yan analyzed. "They should be thrown close to the runoff. Touch them."
Li Zhongchen: "Nurse, I'll give you the accelerator first."
Qiao Yan: "Okay."
Lifeline and evil spirits came to meet one after another.
At this time, only half of the shrinking time is left, and the materials in the central area are much more abundant than those in the corners. SVG can be said to have a good start, and the equipment and weapons have been obtained.
JuJu: "It's a pity, Echo didn't get the most commonly used dagger, how can I do without a dagger in melee, the server will give me a chance?"
Brother Xiao Ma: "Of course it depends on luck. This circle should be narrowed in the area with buildings. This is very beneficial to Echo. Brother Gou has red eyes, so I won't say more."
JuJu: "It's coming, it's starting to shrink the circle! Wait, Rambo is acting separately from other 7zm players?!"
Brother Xiaoma: "Turn down the circle to the south. It seems that 7zm can get stuck in the high position first, and all the staff are golden armor. Could it be that SVG is going to drive high and go low again?"
The circle has just been shrunk, and the SVG's position is slightly lower. At this time, if Gou presses the Q skill to scan the enemy, even if a circle of golden light is emitted to expose the enemy's position, the positions of Gou and teammates will also be blocked by the enemy. Fang has a clear view.
That means that the hero's inherent advantages will also become disadvantages, but knowing that he can't move, his hands will be itchy and uncomfortable at a critical moment.
Qiao Yan's voice was clear and clear: "Be patient even if you feel uncomfortable."
Li Zhongchen: "..."
The explanation continues—
"SVG is guarding the building! For the first time, he didn't rush out and shoot! Echo's wife is strict and hammers!"
"Wait? Rambo walked around the bunker all by himself?"
"Shot! It sounds like the rate of fire of a mastiff M600! God Joe has found someone!"
"Three hits two! It's so exciting. Rambo is sacrificing his teammates as meat, and he takes advantage of the rhythm? It's not impossible to have a unique highland. Let's wait and see what will happen!"
It was this premonition that made Li Zhongchen gradually realize that something was wrong.
The two SVG assaulters had already rushed out of the tight encirclement, and even the nanny who was the team commander didn't react until Li Zhongchen walked around the bottom floor of the wooden building and said in a deep voice, "...No, there are only two people at the top."
"..." As soon as Qiao Yan heard it, he knew what Rambo was up to.
But after realizing this, Qiao Yi's first reaction was not how the enemy played.
Instead, he remembered that in the national finals where MW was colliding with SVG, Li Zhongchen's old captain used this trick, letting the assaulter and the nanny play forward, and the other main output hero curved to save the country.
— But the strategy at that time was correct, but all SVG members collapsed and their state was not right, which resulted in the worst game ever played by SVG.
Qiao Yan looked away worriedly: "..."
His heart sank suddenly, and as expected, Li Zhongchen's right hand trembled slightly uncontrollably, and Qiao Yan knew that there was still something to worry about.
