Gu Luo went back to the training room to get things, and Lin Yan and Jing Yuanzhou went to the dormitory side by side.
No one spoke for a while.
Under the darkness, the occasionally exposed autumn coolness is particularly penetrating.
When he got to the door of the room, Lin Yan didn't say good night to Jing Yuanzhou after opening the door, but just reached out and grabbed the man, pulling the man by the corner of his shirt and dragging him into the room.
Jing Yuanzhou noticed that the door behind him slammed shut, and joked, "Isn't it a critical period for the regular season these few days, that's not good?"
Lin Yan turned on the lights in the corridor with a click, and glanced at him amusingly: "You are beautiful?"
Jing Yuanzhou lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Dim yellow lights shone around, shrouding him in it.
Lin Yan looked at this expression, and without going around in circles with Jing Yuanzhou, he asked straight to the point, "What did Luni tell you just now?"
"Anyway, it's a very touching topic." Jing Yuanzhou didn't hide his intentions from Lin Yan, and subconsciously wanted to touch the cigarette in his trouser legs, only to remember that he had changed his clothes after taking a shower, so he could only give up, "No way. I know what year this year is, the magical ending. If there is no accident, I am afraid that after the end of this professional league, a large number of teams will prepare for a big change.”
Lin Yan instantly caught the point: "Luni wants to retire?"
"I have this idea, but the LDF management doesn't seem to let it. The main reason is that I haven't been able to find a mid laner who is suitable for his position, so I can only hang it like this." Jing Yuanzhou slowly leaned against the wall, half-jokingly said. , "That's why I came and called me, and asked me to ask if Jian Ning, the newly signed passer-by king, has any intentions of transferring. It looks really urgent, and he has to retire in a hurry this year. down."
"As soon as he opens his mouth, he's staring at the new guy we signed, he's afraid he wants to eat peaches!" Lin Yan bluntly despised and asked, "What happened to Luni, is it an injury?"
"He said he wanted to retire early because he wasn't injured yet." Jing Yuanzhou smiled silently, "You probably don't know, his family is quite rich, so there are probably a lot of family members. The reason."
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
Injuries are very common in the e-sports circle. After all, many years of training and staying up late are prone to all kinds of messy problems. Just like Three's Wuhoo was reported to have suffered from hand injuries that are easy for shooters, and BALL, the captain of the UL team, has an old shoulder problem... not to mention the little things other ordinary players have not disclosed to the public. Sick little pain.
These injuries are still easy to suffer at a young age, and it may be over after a while, but as the age of service increases, once the state begins to decline, if it is mixed with the double torture of illness, it will be a fatal blow.
The field of e-sports needs to speak with strength too much, and all excuses are meaningless on the field.
Therefore, there are many such players every year. They have worked diligently on the field for so many years, but in the end they did not perform well because of their injuries, and they could only leave the field in a scolding.
In the professional field, should you leave early with all the applause and honor when your strength is at its peak, before falling to the bottom, or should you grit your teeth and fight until the last moment, even if you end up in pain, you must sweat The battlefield, just to dedicate one's youth to the extreme, is an unsolvable paradox in itself.
And no matter how the situation ends, it is just a different choice for everyone, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong.
Seeing that Lin Yan was lost in thought, Jing Yuanzhou continued to take up the topic: "Don't just watch Luni dangling around with that little tug every day, in fact, his attitude towards career is much more dashing than any of us. In such a position, reputation, status, and recognition are all there. If you want to continue to maintain this state in the future, it will indeed become more and more difficult. So I want to take advantage of the peak time to announce my retirement, which happens to be at home. The urging is getting tighter and tighter, and after drawing a successful conclusion to my career here, it’s time to go back and inherit the family business when the waves are enough.”
When he said this, Jing Yuanzhou's tone sounded very casual.
But when I think of the two people chatting for more than two hours just now, I know that the actual conversation process is far from being as easy as it appears now.
Lin Yan didn't continue talking about Luni, but changed the question: "So you said just now, what if there are a lot of teams that are going to undergo a big change? Does anyone else want to retire?"
Jing Yuanzhou: "Luni is younger than me and has this idea, not to mention DeMen. In fact, DeMen was diagnosed with some illness two years ago, and he was able to persist until this year, which is also very admirable. ."
Lin Yan: "PAY..."
Compared to Luni, DeMen's situation is clearly different.
One is the mid laner, the king of the mid lane, the other is a veteran winger who has played for many years; the other is the absolute focus of the audience's attention, and the other is a silent payer who has resisted pressure for ten thousand years...
In contrast, DeMen, who lacked high-profile moments, has indeed received a lot of criticism in the past two years.
Looking at the previous game history, since DeMen became an official player, PAY has been in an awkward position in the professional league. Although he has always been a frequent visitor to the playoffs, it was not until AI joined later that he was able to enter the ranks of the top giants in one fell swoop. However, judging from the competition in recent years, PAY's ranking is either second or third, in short, it is always so far behind the final champion.
Some people say that the strengths of the PAY team are very obvious, and it is the demon AI that absolutely controls the audience; on the other hand, their shortcomings are also obvious at a glance, that is, they lack a top teammate who can accompany the AI to kill the audience.
DeMen is naturally powerful. He can always ensure that his opponents can hardly find any faults in the game, but sometimes it is such a tepid existence, but it becomes an existence criticized by netizens.
Since AI joined PAY, there have been such remarks from time to time, saying that if DeMen's wing can be replaced with another player, the PAY team's results may be far more than that.
DeMen has never listened to such remarks, and still persists to this day for his supporters. However, judging from the just-concluded spring season, mid-season season, and the current fall regular season, his overall state has obviously declined significantly compared to before. In this way, if PAY can get a good ranking this year, it is still good, in case the final result is not satisfactory, DeMen is probably destined to become a typical retirement model who leaves the game sadly.
Compared to this situation, Luni's voluntary withdrawal is much easier to accept.
Lin Yan looked at Jing Yuanzhou and raised his eyebrows: "So Luni came here suddenly before the game between the two teams, just to have a good discussion with you about the future retirement life? Don't you think he made a special trip to shake the military's heart?"
Jing Yuanzhou laughed: "Do I look like someone who is so easily shaken?"
Lin Yan clicked his tongue, and asked casually, "Is it something else? So, what are you thinking now?"
He knew very well that with the previous series of moves by BK management to foster new recruits in advance, it is impossible for Jing Yuanzhou to not seriously consider the issue of retirement.
Although signing in to the GH team has indeed given a brand-new platform for development, Luni suddenly popped up and brought up the topic at this time, which obviously still touched some aspects of his heart. Otherwise, this man wouldn't be so easy to capture the bad mood in his heart.
Jing Yuanzhou didn't answer the question directly, he just stayed silent for a while, and asked instead, "It took so much money to buy me from BK. If I just ran away like this, would I be angry?"
"No." Lin Yan's answer was much more straightforward than expected, and he listed one by one with his fingers, and chuckled, "Titans, Jingshen, the commercial value you have brought me has far exceeded. At that time, the share of transfer money that was purely used for gimmicks."
At the end of his speech, he suddenly lengthened his tone: "But although I'm not angry because of this subjective choice, if I really feel tired and want to retire, at least one of my requirements must be fulfilled before that."
Jing Yuanzhou: "What request?"
Lin Yan raised his head with a smile to meet his gaze, slowly opened his lips, and said word by word, "Of course we need to first—hand over the world championship trophy into my hands."
The surroundings fell silent for a moment as the words fell.
Jing Yuanzhou's brows gradually took on a laughing look: "Why do you feel like you're on a pirate ship?"
Lin Yan was very righteous about this: "It's too late to regret it now, I refuse to refund the ticket."
Before he finished speaking, Jing Yuanzhou had already pinched his jaw: "I'm still waiting for someone to make up the ticket, how could I be willing to withdraw."
A deep kiss fell heavily like this, ambiguous.
"I do things and never regret."
The next day, when Bi Yaohua walked into the training room with sleepy eyes, he was taken aback by Gu Luo's haggard dark circles.
Taking another look at the clothes that had obviously not been changed, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you, little Gloy? You didn't sleep last night, and you stayed here all night?"
"Well... The coach has assigned a few tasks, and I want to hurry up and finish them while my hands are hot." Gu Luo's computer screen was in the heat of the battle, and he didn't even raise his head, even the sound-isolating headphones were hanging loosely around his ears. "Don't worry, Brother B, I have learned a lesson once, and I remember it. We won't be playing until tomorrow night. After the last few rounds, I will go back to sleep and make sure to stay in the best state on the court."
Bi Yaohua nodded: "Okay, you know it yourself! After all, LDF's mid laner is Luni. It should be well prepared, and I'm still waiting for you to fly!"
Without saying much, I pulled out the gaming chair and sat down.
He didn't continue to do any training before the game. At this time, no one else came, so he just started the live broadcast when he had nothing to do.
In fact, Lin Yan does not recommend that players start the broadcast before the game, but Bi Yaohua has always been an exception.
For the forced king, it is a regular incentive to find a wave of unhappiness before the start of the game, and it is the same today.
This is the first broadcast after the QOG incident. Bi Yaohua was ready to fight against the crowd, but after reading the content of the barrage, he realized that it seemed to be a little different from what he thought.
[Fuck this forcing the king to finally start broadcasting? I thought you were going to play after the regular season! 】
[Is it my illusion? I always feel that even the peacock's head is dimmed. 】
[Although I always say that pretending to be coercive was struck by lightning, this time I have to admit that some coercion still has to be faked. 】
[Everyone is responsible for caring for a fool, these days it really makes you feel wronged. 】
[As a matter of fact, it is true that QOG did something wrong this time, so I decided to scold you as little as possible in the future. 】
[Stupid look over here! Yesterday, I went to the QOG official blog to find a place for you. I have already scolded everything that should be scolded. Don't you know? 】
[This month, I will reluctantly stop scolding you, the latter one was an LDF, right? Don't think about QOG's break in advance, fight hard. 】
[Think about it from another angle, your hair doesn't seem to be so hot anymore, what's the matter, is it a match or a ranking today? 】
Bi Yaohua: "???"
What happened to this world
Gu Luo played the last two rounds next to him, and was about to leave with his head that he might fall asleep in seconds at any time. He turned around inadvertently and found that Bi Yaohua, who had just started the live broadcast, was already down one step ahead of him.
A question mark flashed slowly in Gu Luo's mind, and he was even more dazed under the heavy drowsiness: "Brother, is this the end of the broadcast?"
Bi Yaohua was lying in front of the computer playing minesweeper, his whole face was full of dullness: "It's not broadcast, it's boring."
Gu Luo: "Ah... Is it because of QOG? We take care of this matter. We'll come over and scold you for no reason, right?"
With a flick of Bi Yaohua's mouse, he hit a landmine.
Seeing the red in his eyes explode, he looked up expressionlessly: "It's just because the number of people scolding me has dropped by half compared to before, so I don't think it's interesting."
Gu Luo: "?"
Bi Yaohua sighed slowly, bitterly resentful: "How can I say it, mainly I still feel lonely."
