The atmosphere of the LSPL trials, which is in full swing, seems destined to be limited to the hot carnival of the participants.
At this moment, the coastal town far away from Xiamen City in Fujian Province is as calm and peaceful as ever.
Residents in the small town go to work from 9 to 5 day after day, and they have to spend almost all their thoughts and energy on the daily livelihood of the family. Big news, tsk tsk two sighs—
Or ask one or two colleagues and friends, go to a small restaurant in the evening to drink two glasses of wine and have a late-night snack, even if it is entertainment.
It seems to be divided into two worlds and has nothing to do with the emerging story of the e-sports professional arena.
Probably only in school, from junior high school to senior high school, some young students and big children still show enthusiasm and interest in this emerging e-sports game. During their spare time, they secretly take out the mobile phone that the teacher does not allow, and hide in the classroom. A group of people gathered around the corner, excitedly discussing related topics:
"How's it going?"
"Have you reached the top 32 now?"
"I'm still playing for the past two days. After today, the top 16 will be decided."
"With two more rounds, three LSPL career spots will come out!"
When I heard people talking about this game, the half-old children around couldn't help but let out a sincere voice of admiration and admiration.
As if it was their dream too.
Glittering in the professional arena, becoming a star idol sought after and worshipped by the masses.
"Do we still have a team left in Xiamen City?"
Some people couldn't help but ask in anticipation, which also attracted more attention.
And immediately got the answer:
"some!"
"It's from our Xiamen City Division, the decisive team!"
"I've already reached the top sixteen!"
Someone thought of something: "I know, I know! In the previous divisional competition, the Tian'a team was eliminated, right! That team is super strong, maybe there is a chance to play professionally!"
But this view was quickly refuted:
"It's not that easy, please don't talk nonsense."
"The top sixteen is already exaggerated. The remaining teams are all famous in China."
"The decisive team we came out of here is not ranked in the top 50 in the national competition power list. It is already a lot of luck to make it to the top 16. In the next round, we will meet a powerful team at random. It is estimated that they will be eliminated.”
"I can be content with this achievement."
This statement has attracted a lot of voices of approval.
These half-old children who are still in junior high school have a very high enthusiasm for the recent LSPL trials. They have also searched a lot of relevant information on the Internet. Naturally, they all think that their eyes are sharp enough and objective enough. just-
Although it's a team going out from home, it's right to want to support.
But we also need to see the objective power gap.
Regret is Regret...
But it is really unrealistic to expect that the decisive team will go further.
It's just that when a group of young boys were discussing together, there was a small group of three or five people gathered in the corner on the other side of the classroom, which seemed to be disdainful to participate in such discussions.
The small group was headed by Zhang Xin, and it was the few members of the peak team who had also joined the convenience store owner Zhou Mo and also participated in the selection of the Xiamen sub-competition area.
The previous peak teams had made it to the final rounds of the Xiamen sub-division, and even had a chance to advance to the national competition. Such a result, especially when it fell on a few junior high school boys, was even more rare.
Originally, at the beginning, several team members, including Zhang Xin, thought that they would use this resume to brag and show off in school as a talker and other classmates.
But after that match with Team Tiana...
A few little guys seem to have grown up all at once.
Become more calm and sensible.
Not only did they not brag and show off their previous experience and achievements in the school class, but they even deliberately kept a low profile. Sometimes they never took the initiative to participate in discussions on related topics, just a few people stayed in the corner and watched quietly.
For them, self-consciousness has opened the gap with the rest of the class.
They experienced more and understood more.
A heated discussion like this moment made them a little dismissive:
"What do these guys know—"
"I know that I believe in online rankings, those are all false."
"If you let them know the true strength of that decisive team, they will definitely be shocked!"
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to tell them that we even had supper with Brother Mu."
A few friends of the peak team whispered and talked, with a bit of pride in their words, and then they looked at Zhang Xin:
"A Xin, what do you think?"
"Brother Mu and his team will definitely continue to win!"
Looking at the hopeful eyes of a few friends falling on him, Zhang Xin nodded calmly:
"Of course."
"Brother Mu said-"
"He will bring us and Mo Ge's share, let's cheer together!"
His tone was full of unreasonable confidence.
…
On the roadside not far from the school, the business of the convenience store is as light as usual.
This gave Zhou Mo, the owner of a convenience store, more free time to be alone. In the past, maybe he would just stay in front of the counter with his eyes closed, or casually do some daily inventory work on the shelves. to pass the time.
But recently, he seems to have finally begun to take his heart to the LSPL tryouts that are being discussed online.
I was driving on my old laptop, and on the screen was the open web page of the live broadcast platform. The page played the OB picture of the tournament that has now reached the top 32.
On the right side of the OB screen, there is also a chart of the official statistics of the schedule.
Listed the teams that have advanced to the top sixteen and the teams that have been eliminated.
On the list, two "decisive" teams with the same name—
All are in the promotion column.
Zhou Mo's eyes fell slightly, and he couldn't see whether the expression on his face was either sorrow or joy.
It stands to reason that when he sees his former teammates and teammates winning consecutive victories in the arena, he should naturally feel heartfelt joy, but because he knows some truths hidden behind this, what emerges in his heart at the moment is more intense. Anxiety and embarrassment.
Yes.
Difficult.
He didn't blame Lin Feng.
But for Mu Qiu's "help", he didn't even know where to persuade him.
To put it bluntly, all of this has actually become a mess, which makes people unable to understand their thoughts and to investigate the source.
Or rather-
In fact, it should be his own problem.
Zhou Mo lowered his head, feeling complicated and heavy. In fact, he knew that if he wanted to solve all this, he had to stand up in person, so that he would not let his two closest partners in the past have to be in the game. Fight to your death.
But the problem is that now he himself is not willing to face all that.
I don't want to open the scars with my own hands.
In that way, the most embarrassing and least desirable side of him will be displayed in front of everyone's eyes without reservation.
He wasn't ready for it yet.
However-
It may be too late to make a decision now.
