Ji Zhiyao suddenly turned around as if thinking of something, and continued to sneer at Ji Qingge: "You don't need to compete, just stay here and reflect."
Ji Qingge: "Which!"
Mo Huaifeng: "..."
Ji Zhiyao pulled Mo Huaifeng into the elevator. Before the door closed, he unconsciously glanced outside, and even pulled his hair to cover up, pretending to be nonchalant. Mo Huaifeng wanted to laugh when he saw it, and asked, "You're not angry anymore, why don't you let her eat together?"
"This dog doesn't have a long memory. What can I do? She dares to run over with my back, and she's not afraid that someone will abduct her..." Ji Zhiyao pressed her in a low voice. After a while, he smacked his lips and said, "Bring her something to eat when I get back. Captain, help me think about it."
Just knew it was so.
A smile flashed across Mo Huaifeng's eyes: "Got it."
... Because he was thinking about Ji Qingge, it didn't take long for Ji Zhiyao to finish his meal in a hurry. Then he left Mo Huaifeng who hadn't finished eating, and returned to the hotel with a bag full of food.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Ji Zhiyao saw with sharp eyes that Ji Qingge was sitting where he had been sitting before leaving, without moving at all, with a terribly sluggish face. He hurried over, put the lunch box in front of her, and said, "Eat."
Ji Qingge: "Brother, are you not angry?"
Ji Zhiyao: "Qi!"
Ji Qingge: "I am so obedient waiting for you here, are you still angry?"
Ji Zhiyao: "Qi!"
Ji Qingge: "Will you stop being angry if I don't eat? Then I won't eat!"
Ji Zhiyao: "..."
Ji Zhiyao said very aggrieved: "I'm not angry, you can eat."
Ji Qingge knew very well that at this time, he must not push his limits, so he responded cheerfully, then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
Ji Zhiyao propped his chin with his hand, watching her eat lazily.
Ji Qingge ate a few mouthfuls and asked, "Brother, I haven't asked you yet, did the competition go well?"
Ji Zhiyao: "Successful, gods block and kill gods and Buddhas block and kill Buddha."
"That's fine. Before I came here, I was worried that you would lose the game." Ji Qingge said, "I'm eating here by myself, so you can go back to training. Don't you all have training time rules?"
Ji Zhiyao thought about it, and there were indeed a few videos that he hadn't watched, and the hotel floor was covered by the club and it was safe. So he said: "You go to Yuan Wei after dinner and ask him to find a vacant room for you to have a good rest. I'll go back and do mine."
Ji Qingge agreed.
So Ji Zhiyao went back to the room and turned on the computer.
— There are a total of 26 teams in the official competition, divided into two groups, AB and AB, with 13 teams in each group. In the grouping situation, each team needs to play five games and rank according to the score. The first and second place in each group will then compete with the first and second place in the other group, and finally get the competition result.
That is to say, if Mix wants to get a good result, he must have at least six PKs, each with three sets of 5v5, which means a total of 18 matches.
And these will be completed within two weeks in total.
… I feel tired just listening to it.
Ji Zhiyao stared at the rules and didn't speak for a long time.
With a bang, the door was opened from the outside. Ji Zhiyao looked up and found that it was Mo Huaifeng, and smiled: "Are you back?"
Mo Huaifeng nodded, "What are you looking at?"
Ji Zhiyao: "The competition system. The arrangement of the competition is very dense, and it will be very cruel just looking at it."
Mo Huaifeng walked to his side and sat down: "There is no game that is not cruel, play hard, don't think too much."
Ji Zhiyao took a deep breath, "That's right. I hope the high boots are in a different group from us."
Mo Huaifeng gave a "hmm" and agreed.
If Mix and High Shoes are in the same group, it is very likely that PK will be required, and in this case, it is not very good.
…
So September 22nd, South Korea.
All over the world, anyone who pays attention to "Heroes", whether it is an established e-sports powerhouse like South Korea and North America, or a new generation of e-sports developing countries such as China, is looking forward to the opening of the international league.
The opening ceremony officially started at 8:10. Before 8:00, the scene continued to be in such a chaotic atmosphere. The staff ran around the venue, not knowing what they were busy with... Until 8:10, the audience seemed to be suddenly silent Come down, and then there was a "bang" in the middle of the dark stage, and fireworks on both sides rose into the sky. With the sound, rows of lights gradually turned on, illuminating the two huge electronic screens above the stage very eye-catching. At the same time, on the lifting platform directly behind the stage, two professional event commentators waved to the audience.
Immediately afterwards, the theme song of the game "Heroes" rang out, and the trophy of the Ninth International League was projected on the third giant screen behind the commentator.
At this time, the auditorium off the court was already cheering like thunder.
As the theme song came to an end, the large screens on the left and right suddenly lit up, and a team wearing black uniforms slowly appeared on it, and the camera passed over their faces one by one—
The last international league champion team, King!
Because it was the home court, and the last league champion was a Korean team, the Korean audience in the audience was on the verge of losing control of their emotions at this time. One shouted louder than the other, and the stadium was full of such voices.
It lasted a full fifteen seconds before the screen switched from the King team to the next team.
The switch of the 20 pre-selected teams is over, followed by the six teams that have gone upstream through the play-in competition.
Mix came first.
The camera scanned seven young faces one by one. I don't know if it's because he's handsome or for some other reason, but the cheers from the audience are second only to the sound of the King team appearing. Many viewers who expressed their disgust towards Mix in China cheered loudly at this time. Their idea is very simple: when they go abroad, everyone is a Chinese who loves each other. Even if I don’t like you, I don’t allow others to watch it. come out.
Soon, a total of twenty-six teams were switched over.
At this time, the electronic screen went dark again, all the lights were turned on, and the whole venue was brightly lit. Two hosts, a man and a woman in suits and gowns, stepped onto the stage from one side of the stage, and announced together with great emotion: "Ladies and gentlemen, let us announce that the ninth "Heroes" International League has officially begun!"
Behind them, fireworks bloomed again.
The audience cheered thunderously.
——At this point, the three-year e-sports event finally kicked off.
The first thing to start is grouping.
Because the twenty-six teams were randomly grouped by the system, they only had to wait for the results in the audience.
All the members of Mix sat in the player lounge as quietly as chickens, without flicking their eyes from side to side. Yuan Wei was made uncomfortable by their sudden change, and asked: "Although I am also very nervous, it is not to your level... Ancestors, are you holding back again and planning to do something wrong? "
Danuo: "You think too much, I'm just nervous."
Yuan Wei: "Nervous fart, it's not like you haven't participated before."
Danuo: "You mean the two rounds of kneeling last year?"
Yuan Wei: "The most important thing is to participate."
Danuo: "The most important thing is to participate? Excuseme? Don't mention it. If this happens again this time, our team will probably be expelled from the China E-sports Association after returning to China."
Yuan Wei: "..."
Danuo pressed a lot, and everyone heard the sound of knocking on the door. Ji Zhiyao sat closest to the door, so he got up to open the door. A blond-haired and blue-eyed staff member smiled at him, and then spoke English: "Hello, is this Team Mix?"
Ji Zhiyao: "Yes, hello."
Staff: "The grouping situation has come out, the Mix team is divided into Group A, now please ask your person in charge to draw the opponent."
What Ji Zhiyao was worried about was another thing, "Can I ask you a question? Can you tell me which group is a team called High Boots in Huaxia?"
Staff: "High boots? Sorry, I don't have any impression of this name. All I know is that there are two Huaxia teams in Group A."
Ji Zhiyao: "!"
Fuck.
China has only two teams this time!
cold...
Ji Zhiyao's complexion became very bad, but he thought of finding someone to draw lots, so he said to the staff: "Please wait a moment, I will call our person in charge."
He turned his head, walked into the room and called Mo Huaifeng, "Captain, we have been divided into groups. We are divided into Group A. I ask you to draw lots."
Mo Huaifeng stood up, "Okay."
Ji Zhiyao: "There is unfortunate news. If the staff member remembers correctly, the high boots are in our group, which is also Group A."
Everyone gasped.
What the hell!
Although Mo Huaifeng's expression was not very good-looking, he managed to maintain his composure, "I'll go to draw lots first, and we'll talk when I come back."
After speaking, he went out. When passing by Ji Zhiyao, she shook his hand to signal him not to worry.
The door was closed, and Ji Zhiyao stumbled over to the sofa and sat down. The complexions of the others were not much prettier than his, like plucked chickens, all listless. After being silent for a while, Ah Heng suddenly said: "It's okay if we don't meet high boots. If we do, shall we eliminate them or not? Let's eliminate them. Let's say we are too ruthless and disregard brotherhood. Let's not eliminate them." , We’re going to be cold ourselves... What the hell is this, the organizer didn’t come here on purpose to mess with us, right?”
Yuan Wei: "Why does he have nothing to do with us when he has nothing to do? It's purely our own responsibility."
K: "Oh, don't worry, there are thirteen teams anyway. The probability of us winning the high boots is only one in 12, rounded up to about zero, so don't think too much about it."
A Xiao echoed: "That's right, don't even think about it. Our captain, the contemporary koi, will definitely not be able to draw."
— However, it turns out that their luck seems to be running out. Mo Huaifeng frowned tightly and entered the room, and told them the result.
Mixvs tall boots.
The first game is the PK within Huaxia.
The data analyst "swiped" and stood up, "What a coincidence... I'm going to ask the organizer what's going on. Could it be that the Huaxia team was manipulated in the dark?"
Mo Huaifeng pressed his shoulder, "I asked, and they are happy to provide the monitoring of the system's lottery operation and the team's lottery just now. There should be no problem."
Suddenly the whole room fell into a deeper silence.
—This kind of thing will make people uncomfortable no matter who it is. What's more, there are a total of two participating teams in Huaxia, and only one will be lost on the first day...
After a long time, Mo Huaifeng said: "The result will not change. Now that the opponent has been determined, then we will go all out. It is not only respect for the high boots, but also respect for ourselves."
The others nodded heavily.
The game between Mix and high boots is the second game in the morning of Area B. They sat in the lounge for about two hours, and it was almost ten o'clock before the staff knocked on their door and announced that they were ready to go on stage.
Mo Huaifeng put on his team uniform, then stretched out his right fist and put it in the air, "Mix, come on."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, stretched out their fists, bumped into each other, and shouted: "Mix, come on!"
Then come on stage one by one.
Ji Zhiyao, Xiao Fei, Yuan Wei, and a data analyst sat together in the viewing area closest to their side, watched the five people take the stage quietly, and then saluted the high boots.
For a while, there was an uproar in the audience.
Commentator A: "I didn't expect to see such an interesting scene just two hours after the opening of the international league. It belongs to the only two teams in China to compete against each other."
Narrator B: "This reminds me of a Chinese idiom, I don't know if it is used correctly, it is called 'cannibalism'?... Sorry, I don't know Chinese well, please forgive me if I use it wrong.—We can see It seems that the Huaxia audience in the audience seems to be very angry. Yes, if I were the audience, and I saw that there are two e-sports teams from the country in the first match on the first day, and one of them will be eliminated. will be like them."
Narrator A: "But from another perspective, it seems quite interesting, isn't it? Now let's take a look at the information of these two teams. Mix, after seeing the information, I found that I have an impression of this team. Their captain Mix.Fi, the international ADC ranks third. Others... By the way, their team also has a jungler who is currently ranked thirty-two in the world, but he didn't play this game."
Commentator A: "The high boots side is relatively weak. Only their captain, Ono International, ranks 28th in the mid laner, and the others have no ranking... So will these two opponents save for the stronger one? Throwing in the towel or something? I'm looking forward to it."
Hearing the end, Ji Zhiyao felt a little joke in the commentator's "admit defeat" and couldn't help clenching his fists.
— On stage, everything is ready. Both sides buckled the earphones.
At the beginning of the game, A Xiao changed his previous style of being more grumpy than Ji Zhiyao, and instead dragged Ah Heng and Mo Huaifeng, and the middle and lower field trio slipped to the opposite field to steal the field. Ah Heng and Mo Huaifeng were more cloudy, and the hiding place was particularly hidden, causing Lan Guang to think that Ah Xiao was the only one, and charged upwards alone. In the end, he was almost stunned by three people and doubted his life. It took a flash and Ono's support to escape successfully and return to the city to replenish blood.
The three of them walked around in front of Ono in an aboveboard manner and took a blue buff, and then slowly returned to their positions to perform their duties, Ono was almost so angry that he vomited blood.
