As we all know, the IS team is a warm family full of money.
When his father Shen Ye got old, he went around making a fuss and standing on the street to support the family. His mother Cui Xuezhi swept the floor every day, nagging and saying nonsense like "Our ears are blocked, you start now", which made Qi Ji really feel that he was a A little idiot under control.
There was only half a day of rest during the week's training, which was not enough for Qi Ji. Every night when he hugged Qin Jue, it was like hugging a fragrant cake that had just come out of the oven, but he couldn't even take a bite.
In the first week, Qi Ji held it in aggrievedly, and his mouth watered when he smelled it.
In the second week, his hands began to move around like loaches, and he always whispered coquettishly, "Just touch Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi will not mess around."
In the third week, he has transformed into a beast in spring, secretly rubbing himself through two layers of clothes, and his breath sounds hot as if he is passive.
So Qin Jue, who was blushing and heart-beating, began to suspect that he was not very familiar or even half-cooked. Every day, Qin Jue had to bite the back of his hand and be tormented by him for ten minutes. He was so shy that his waist and legs were weak, so he could only shrink into his arms. Dare not speak.
For this reason, Qin Jue wanted to criticize him for delaying training, but he found that the other party knew better than anyone else that only good work should be rewarded. His performance in the training game was as if he had taken medicine. Even Yanagisawa was very disappointed. He said with satisfaction that it was different now that he had become a man, and the barrel of his gun was even harder.
There was no other way. Once the heart of an eighteen or nineteen year old became restless, I was afraid that it could only be calmed down by meditation. Qin Jue had no choice but to accept his fate and be forced to accept the teasing of two old fritters every day.
This time, Cui Xuezhi also smiled mysteriously as usual: "Young man, go shopping for rebooting if you have nothing to do. It's good for your body and mind."
Shen Ye took advantage of Qi Ji being left by the coach to explain things, and asked Qin Jue curiously: "When do you two plan to make it public? It's time to change your name and call me father-in-law~"
"... Get out." Qin Jue panicked and replied, "... I don't plan to make it public."
"Ah?" Shen Ye was naturally a little surprised, "You two are like this and you still don't plan to make it public? Not only did the ladies on Weibo collectively acquiesce, but even my male fans made fun of me and said that I am old and lustful and unworthy of standing anymore. It was so miserable for me under the telephone pole."
As he spoke, he shook his head, but Qin Jue couldn't help but explain: "...I'm not a bender, so it's impossible to make it public."
Shen Ye thought he was joking: "...Oh, I understand, you are not bent, you are a straight man, so you like straight men, there is nothing wrong with you."
The two old youtiao Quan thought that the young people were shy and quickly washed up and got ready to go to bed. However, they did not expect that Qin Jue sat on the bedside for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking about, and actually asked them: "What if … If I insist on not making it public, not meeting my parents, and not directly acknowledging our relationship, will it make Xiao Qi sad?”
The two people next to him looked at each other, and Shen Ye was a little confused: "Are you serious, Yanshen? It's fine if you don't make it public, but if you keep avoiding other things, Xiao Qi may still have random thoughts after a long time. Yes, unless you give a reasonable reason."
In the smell of cigarette smoke, Qin Jue's lips moved repeatedly before he managed to spit out an explanation: "... something happened when I was a child, which made me feel that homosexuality is a bit... disgusting."
Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, surprised and puzzled: "No, our number one troll in the Asian server is so crazy that he even scolds himself?"
"But it's disgusting!" But Qin Jue's breathing became confused and he was obviously serious, "They took off my pants and pushed them on other people, and asked me if the two men were gay-"
Half a second later, Qin Jue came back to his senses and his voice suddenly stopped.
But the air around him was still as stiff as if it was being torn apart, and Shen Ye almost dropped the cigarette butt in his hand. After a while, Cui Xuezhi poured a cup of warm water into Qin Jue's hand, seemed to comfort him softly, and called him. Name: "Xiaojue, have you heard that sentence? People should not punish themselves with other people's mistakes - Lu Xun said, you can write and recite the full text when you have time, and hand it in as homework."
Qin Jue was startled. Before he had time to regret how he had exposed so much to people other than Qi Ji, he was surrounded by a tenderness that was no less than love. So much so that he now had a common illusion after moving through many teams. -This time, he can always be with his teammates.

However, reality always seems to be much more complicated than he imagined.
"Juixue, what's happened to you recently?"
The training progress for the qualifiers was not as smooth as expected. Even Yanagisawa, who always trusted the two veterans, couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't tell me that Shen Ye sucked you dry."
Cui Xuezhi has always been calm. He licked his lips and admitted that his state was dragging down the team: "... I will train more and adjust."
Shen Ye smoked a cigarette for a while, and the air pressure in the training room was a bit heavy. Only Qin Jue looked left and right, trying to save his idol for the first time: "... Cui Shen is probably just a little stressed, let's take turns to give him some oil. alright."
It could be seen that Cui Xuezhi was a little surprised, while Liu Ze patted Qin Jue on the head with his notebook and said, "You are the only one who knows how to be glib." Then he arranged for them to play ranked games again and went out to find a psychological counselor to explain the situation. .
No one had time to ask more questions. There was silence for about ten seconds, and the sound of the keyboard started again. This also made Qin Jue truly feel for the first time that the atmosphere of a wealthy team under the heavy pressure was actually not what he had imagined. That way, it's even a little easier than others.
Even if they had enough food and clothing in the eyes of others, as long as they didn't embarrass Mr. Ou too much, their days of idleness would be over, but Qin Jue still found that no one dared to have a reason to lose.
Because the TIPC 2018 qualifiers do not give the top few qualifying places like other game competitions, but give two places to the champions of FPP and TPP modes respectively - so once the qualifiers are not the champion, they will probably go to the international competition. He is no longer qualified to complete a comeback in the competition.
Here, there is no retreat from the beginning of the qualifiers.
Therefore, the coaching team studied the playing styles of dozens of teams day and night, and repeatedly discussed sets of tactics with Shen Ye;
Qi Ji was like a Buddhist monk who had returned from a Buddhist monk's life. He no longer had even ten minutes of intimacy time left for himself. He returned to the dormitory every day and fell asleep. Qin Jue didn't even know what he said in his sleep: "Senior, am I good at shooting?" "Whether it is naughty talk or not;
Cui Xuezhi chatted with the team's psychological counselor twice, and despite the ups and downs, his condition was improving. Everyone was in an extremely nervous state of preparation for the war. However, on the eve of the war, Qin Jue had no choice but to meet someone he didn't want to meet again. coincidence.
Late that night, he finally sneaked out of Qi Ji's clinging arms and wanted to go downstairs for a snack. But as soon as he walked from the side door to the restaurant, he saw lights on in a place that was supposed to be empty. The back figure also appeared in his field of vision, standing at the table playing with milk, smoking a cigarette and talking to someone on the phone.
It's Cui Xuezhi.
Qin Jue paused and was thinking about what kind of protagonist he was. He always encountered such bad things. Cui Xuezhi's gentle voice interrupted his thoughts, so soft that he could hardly hear it.
"Don't be like this Xingzhou, I understand what you mean, but whether I can leave this team or not is not something that can be decided now. What we are talking about is a private relationship, you know?"
"Well, substitute No. 4 is gone. It's normal for me to do all the dirty work in the game and take the blame. You've seen the performance of the two newcomers. The team can't arrange for them to go."
"... Isn't this okay? Shen Ye and Liu Ze are very good to me. Don't think too much."
Qin Jue was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, Cui Xuezhi laughed again.
"Okay, you said that, then I can only consider transferring?"
In an instant, a bunch of exclamation marks and question marks exploded in Qin Jue's mind. He tried his best to search for the name "Xingzhou" before he remembered that it was the captain of the K6 Cup dark horse "Hunting Shadow", Qi Xingzhou.
Because the other party and Qi Ji had some kind of "autistic players alliance", Qin Jue had some impression of him.
But why did Cui Xuezhi know the other party
… Oh no, it’s not unusual for players like Cui Xuezhi and Shen Ye to know each other.
So Qin Jue stood there and suddenly felt that his eyes were stung by the lights of the restaurant - because he seemed to have realized the meaning of Cui Xuezhi's few words.
Although he has been playing games for many years, there were only a few people in the small team he was in. Everyone was simple, and their mentality was basically "we can just play and disband", but at this moment, facing Cui Xuezhi's back, he suddenly I was at a loss and realized for the first time that this was a completely different place.
The teammate who was so gentle to him was no longer an ordinary amateur player, but a figure who had already become famous all over the world. Therefore, any decision made by the team could affect the whole body.
Forcing the "Chinese Gun King" to adapt to the role of the primary victim in tactics does sound a bit heartbreaking - not to mention, the original intention of this team to buy Cui Xuezhi was probably the once feared name of the God of War.
Qin Jue was unaware of this because he was in the team. If he were still a fan of Cui Xuezhi like before, his 200 trolling accounts might have been activated long ago, using the keyboard to protect his idol.
So the light that was supposed to be warm made Qin Jue dizzy, so he could only clench his fists and hurriedly choose to turn around and leave.
The competition was about to begin soon, and Qin Jue was caught in the middle. He didn't know how to explain the reason for the defeat, so he had to try his best to pretend it was unintentional, and asked the legal sister overnight: "How long is the contract signed by Cui Shen?"
This is not a secret, so the other party joked with him: [One year, it stands to reason that the first signing should be at least two years. I don’t know how it was negotiated at that time. Maybe it was because Cui Shen didn’t make much noise, but his work was good~]
… one year. Qin Jue's heart sank, and he quickly checked the official blog for the date when Juxue joined the team. After calculation, it was indeed not long before the contract ended.
So Qin Jue hesitated every second, wondering whether he should report the situation to the coach and team leader.
However, every time the words came to his lips, those gentle peach blossom eyes, that box of fried rice bought on the roadside, and that cup of warm water always appeared in his mind, making him frown and unable to speak.
But when he really came to his senses and knew that he should inform the team, he was already irreversible and was in the crowded qualifiers.
***
As a team game, the difference between chicken fighting and general competitive games is obvious.
For ordinary players, in games such as LOL and DOTA2, many people can only carry the whole team but can’t lead useless teammates, and can only become the director of the orphanage; but in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, they can carry everyone with just one point of performance. It is too common for the team to rise.
However, in professional competitive arenas, the situation is often the opposite.
In this e-sports project, it is almost impossible to win the game relying on the marksmanship of one or two people.
Many teams have players who are at the peak of their personal ability, but they are still in a mess, and die suddenly in the blink of an eye. There is no chance of resurrection here. If the hand shakes twice, it basically declares that it has entered the spectator mode in advance.
On that April night when the spring breeze picked up, the TIPC 2018 China Qualifiers first conducted the TPP (Third Person Perspective) mode. This is also the mode that Chinese teams are generally best at. Everyone took it for granted that the IS team took first place.
However, when the first day's standings were exposed on the big screen in the center of the field, everything was beyond everyone's expectations.
The first place is the name of the dark horse shadow hunting team. The SE team highlights the word "steady" and is closely followed. The IS team is extremely thrilling and barely ranks third.
The dark horse status of the Hunter Shadow Team had first appeared in the K6 Cup, but in such an important international qualifier, they actually defeated the two giant teams, which still caused an uproar and barrage in the audience.
[Guigui, how long has it been since Team Awakening was ranked fourth? ?]
[Obviously Yu Jincheng’s mentality is crazy, all the elegant brothers have contributed a lot]
[A new husband has appeared? I’m so wet with this performance from Team Qi, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
[Can you clamp it a little tighter, friend? Friendly reminder, this is only the first day]
Indeed, the first day of the game alone was not enough to make IS team fans completely upset. In those match shots, Shen Ye patted the players on the shoulders and encouraged them, but when they returned to the team lounge, everyone's expressions were expressionless. So pretty.
"Juexue, it's not me who puts pressure on you." Yanagisawa was very dissatisfied with today's battle situation, "Is this the performance you, the Chinese gun king, should perform?"
Cui Xuezhi looked at him quietly and still answered: "I will make good adjustments."
"Where do I have time for you to adjust?" However, Yanagisawa was furious, his eyes darkened and he spoke without hesitation, "I don't want to say, what kind of operations are you doing? You can't make it even after taking money from other teams! "
The others were shocked and quickly asked Yanagisawa to stop talking. He probably realized that he had made a mistake and turned his back.
After a while, Cui Xuezhi stood up from everyone's gaze and silently threw the cigarette case aside.
No one had ever seen this scene before. Even Shen Ye, who usually had a bright tongue, looked like he couldn't hold back an 800-word essay. Qin Jue felt guilty and wanted to say something, but Cui Xuezhi didn't. He passed over the others and turned to leave: "As a coach, think about whether what you said is human, Yanagisawa."
