The light in the restaurant was still shining palely, and no one knew that Shen Ye still clenched his fists secretly when he met DEMON again.
In his more than ten years of e-sports career, he has shouldered countless honors and responsibilities. Some people speculated that he would start drifting after reaching the peak, while others speculated that he would choose to retire after falling into the trough. But in fact, he always said that Calm and light, rarely disturbed by the outside world - and behind all the stability and self-possession, the only time he wavered was when he lost to the KOG team led by DEMON at the World Invitational Tournament in the previous game. He was ridiculed by them for why he didn't open his eyes. Open your eyes.
Victory and defeat should be normal, but he couldn't accept the fatal splash screen glitch in that game.
He had been angry and argued, but the on-site referee did not accept it. He continued to act like a messy clown, arguing with the organizer in broken English after the game - he thought that it was the KOG team and the organizer who were hiding something in a foreign country. What's the trick, but in the end I have no choice but to find out that the ones who are tricking are the people in my own team.
In order to bet on the odds, someone wanted him to lose.
Originally, he carried all the expectations and once again tore apart the sky under the dominance of other divisions - all domestic viewers saw that after a round of rotation, Luo Ye once again felt hot and stable in the starting lineup, winning almost all championships in one year. The team he led in this invitational competition has also lost consecutive games to teams from many countries, and it is a high probability that they will finally win the championship.
All hopes rest on him alone. As everyone agrees, if China's FPS can still be saved, then the person who can do it must be Polar Star Luoye.
Before the start of that final, big-character posters from the e-sports media were flying all over the place. The title they gave him was - The Unparalleled Hero Never Grows Old.
Just when he was on the field, he was trying to relax the mentality of several young teammates, joking with them, "Samsung has come to me as an endorsement soon" - the radiant light belonging to the team and even the entire competition seemed to be right in front of him, and he thought he could resist everything. The pressure can split the boulder and take out the sword, but he has no choice but to lose to the putrid undercurrent under the calm sea.
DEMON looked down on him, and even looked down on Asians, and he could only feel cold all over, without even a reason to refute.
He no longer wanted to investigate whether it was the lack of talent on the field that led to sluggish development, or the messy management being short-sighted and unable to bear the heavy responsibility.
After being pushed out by a group of arrogant foreign organizers, he didn't even want to argue anymore.
After all, what his team management told him was, why are you going to argue if you don't obey? Are you embarrassed? We also have to pay reporters to stop fucking writing.
So later, facing the passionate audience, he chose to quit the team on his own initiative, hoping that this would save his teammates at least a living, but in the end, everyone drifted away, and soon they were all separated. .
During that time, he sat in front of the widened screen in the Internet cafe all night long. Several times, cigarette butts burned his hands without even noticing, and it was difficult to even blink.
There was even a time when he leaned back in the chair, his vision gradually turned white, and his ears felt as if they were filled with sea water. He didn't know whether it was roaring or quiet. Therefore, the certainty in his heart gradually calmed down to the second: He knew, 8 minutes and 0 After 6 to 10 seconds, you will die suddenly.
Fortunately, the network administrator went the wrong way to repair the machine and found him, otherwise, the consequences would be really disastrous.
At that time, if he hadn't met Mensonge, a weirdo in the industry, he thought he might have left the game completely.
Save Chinese FPS, what a fucking fart.
It seemed to be a very ordinary night. With dry eyes open, he was still smoking unscrupulously and staring at the screen. The trumpet at hand happened to be in the same round as Mensonge.
The opponent once had a reputation for being a superb marksman but was a wild guy who only worked in a small team.
Shen Ye hadn't slept for a few days. When he stared at the familiar ID, his vision was blurred. He communicated with someone for the first time in many days: [Brother... you are very strong, why don't you try in the big team? ]
—If there were people like you on the field, I am afraid that the name Polaris would have changed hands long ago. There would be no need for me to be full of injuries and fight for people. If I play well, I will cut off the young people's future. If I play poorly, it will be China's FPS. It's over.
Mensonge, who had always been aloof and disdainful of talking to others, was probably bored in the middle of the night and was actually interested in answering him: "Nothing, I can only play online for the time being, so I can't go to the big team]."
[What’s the point of being an e-sports player if you don’t play offline games? ] Shen Ye smiled hollowly and lit another cigarette, but the other party surprised him and expressed confusion about his words: [Oh... That's interesting. You can make money by doing what you like. Isn't that interesting? So many people's jobs are to do things they hate. I like games and e-sports. I'm so lucky. Even if the only step I can take is to compete online, I won't run away just because it's boring.]
Shen Ye's dry eyes froze for a moment, as if he had been educated by an unknown descendant. He felt an itch in his heart and suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know Luo Ye?" Do you think it’s time for Luo Ye to retire? ]
At that time, everyone's response to this proposition was yes, but Mensonge did not answer directly. Instead, he was categorical: "Luo Ye will not retire." ]
It’s not whether we should or shouldn’t, but we won’t.
Shen Ye's lips parted slightly: [...How do you know he won't? ]
[Very simple] Mensonge's answer is still natural: [Because he is Luo Ye. Even if the team doesn't want him, even if he is so poor that he only has one dollar left in his bank card, he will still gather a group of idiots who don't even have to pay to play games with him. ]
The corners of Shen Ye's lips moved slightly, and he let out a sneer: [...you must have been brainwashed by those articles about Polaris].
Shen Ye, a veteran in the industry, had not seen such an innocent young man for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask him: "What if he wants to make you a teammate, are you willing to give it a try?" ]
However, when he was touched, Mensonge was cold and ruthless, and dismissed him with "Go away, he's so gay, I'm fucking homophobic".
After the game ended, the first ray of light in the morning shone into the Internet cafe, making Shen Ye's eyes hurt. Then, he struggled to get up and took out the card in his backpack, and couldn't help but log in to the online bank that he hadn't used for a long time. .
He finally understood that all his exhaustion was just an excuse not to try his best - whether he found a new team or formed his own team, he had no reason to give up.
If you want to stand at the top of the industry, how can you do it without pain and bloodshed
The person who is qualified to give up midway is Shen Ye, but he must not be Polar Star Luoye.
For Luo Ye, there will never be "trying your best", there will only be continuing after winning and starting over after losing.
That was the only time in his e-sports career that he was confused, and it was also the reason why he was still standing on the court at his advanced age, so he thought early on that meeting DEMON offline would definitely be unpleasant, and he also thought of comforting the slightly confused person next to him. Lost Qi Ji: "It's okay, it's okay. I know our little Qi admired him before. Who hasn't been young and ignorant?"
Qi Ji nodded angrily, clenched his fists and kept emphasizing, "My favorite is the captain", which made Shen Ye's cheeky face burn a little, while the female player next to her, Sarang, spoke to them in substandard Chinese. She thanked him and her eyes drifted to him.
The two of them were old acquaintances. Shen Ye, who was usually very gay, could not say a single word when facing the opposite sex. He could only passively listen to her greetings as before. However, as she spoke, Shen Ye felt a burst of emotion. She was in a daze and panicked, so she quickly interrupted her and asked her to go back to find her teammates first and stop wandering around. Paris is not safe now.
The other party stopped, nodded and smiled, probably too lazy to emphasize that he was already a red belt in Taekwondo, and quickly thanked him again and turned to leave. But as soon as Shen Ye relaxed, Qi Ji frowned slightly and asked: "Captain, Just now...sarang asked when your eyes will be operated on, what did you mean?"
… Damn it, how can you understand Korean English? You are more familiar with this cross-border shopping business than I am.
- Shen Ye panicked and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
But facing the equally surprised Qin Jue, he still put on a half-smile stiffly: "-What does it mean? I just want to have my double eyelids cut and I asked her to find out. After all, she is a professional."
The dinner plate creaked softly, and everyone at the table suddenly fell silent. Only Qin Jue suddenly realized it, and finally opened the doubanjiang in his hand. While eating, he muttered his thoughts: Are you poisonous and really want to make your debut? What's there to cut? It's not ugly.
At that moment, Qin Jue probably didn't notice at all. The eyes of several people around him were either dodging or silently exchanging glances. No one gave much reply to his words.
***
With Qin Jue’s daily cordial greetings to DEMON’s family and the end of the pre-match rehearsal, the TIPC2018 competition finally kicked off with the cheers of audiences around the world. The TPP (Third Person Perspective) mode will precede the FPP (First Person Perspective) perspective), the competition has also skyrocketed the expectations of domestic audiences.
Playing the third-person perspective that domestic teams are good at first means that as long as you win the TPP championship, you can easily enter the FPP mode.
After all, no one would criticize them for wanting a double championship, and major gaming forums also half-jokingly set goals for them: Team IS wins a single TPP championship, and Hunting Shadow just needs to try not to fall out of the top five—otherwise, they won’t be provided with the game when they come back. Lifebuoy.
Noon in China happens to be the beginning of a romantic night in Paris, and the burning enthusiasm at the competition also adds a bit of intensity to the rain and fog here.
The venue of TIPC this time can accommodate 30,000 spectators. As soon as the event music played, the live stage was filled with clouds and fog, accompanied by the roar of airplanes, which perfectly restored the aerial environment at the beginning of the game.
Soon, dozens of stuntmen were like parachuting players in the game, using coercion to race against time and fall from the sky.
Wearing tall military boots printed with the logos of different teams, they aroused bursts of exclamations from the audience as soon as they landed in the middle of the rugged field and loaded their guns.
The lights flickered on and off along with the intense music and drumbeats, clusters of hot firelights shot up around the stage, and the battlefield suddenly became as bright as day. The sound of gunshots also exploded around the venue, raising everyone's blood pressure. half.
Highlights from the qualifiers of each major competition area began to flash on the big screen, and 3D holographic imaging technology also placed the participating team's logos in the center of the stage, which took three minutes to complete.
Under the dazzling light and shadow, even the animation special effects when the LOGOs dissipate are different - some teams are waves, some teams are feathers, and the special effects given to the IS team by the organizer are burning. Golden flames.
Bright, hot, and full of hope.
Therefore, even if he was standing in the contestants' tunnel where the field of vision was not wide enough, Qin Jue felt that his eyes were about to be burned by the fire: "... This scene is too real."
"Small scene." Shen Ye exhaled, putting all worries behind him, and greeted the whole team to enter as usual, "After the game, I will show Mr. Qin the most interesting places in Paris at night. ?”
Although he knew that Shen Ye was joking, Qin Jue still answered enthusiastically, "Okay, okay, is there a strong man?", which caused a chill to float on the back of his neck: "It seems that senior thinks I'm not strong enough?"
With the competition as a shield, Qin Jue didn't even think about it: "I'm here now, as long as I can still get out of bed, it's necessary to go out and hang out~"
Therefore, before the first day of the competition, the last thing Qi Ji said that had nothing to do with the competition was: "Senior, don't even think about it."
After dozens of days of abstinence, Qin Jue was obviously carried away and replied, "Okay, let's see who has more of the unknown liquid then." This made the two old fritters sweat, and they both said: Yanshen, do you want us to give it to you first? Are you ready to order imported lifting capsules
During the joke, no one noticed that Qi Ji turned his eyes and took a deep look at Shen Ye. Soon, the game officially started with loud shouts.
On the player bench, although Qin Jue still avoided the camera a little, the flames of war were passing by. Naturally, with the occasional encouragement from his teammates, he became more focused on the game. On the first day of the TPP mode, the IS team relied on their excellent tactical performance to win the game. Overcoming obstacles all the way, dominating the target shooting in P City, and the score is very close to the KOG team.
In the final round of the final round, the fighting became more open, and the battle became more intense than in the qualifiers of any division. This also directly led to the death and injury in the blink of an eye, with only six people left: South Korea led by Sarang Three players from the ZG team, and lone wolves from the other three teams.
Among them are members of IS and KOG, Qi Ji and Timber.
At the critical moment, the entire audience began to hold their breath, as if they were just waiting for the gunshots to subside before they raised their arms and released the last shout of the day. Judging from the current situation, the ZG team is almost guaranteed to win the game. Many male spectators They had already prepared on-site military training for their empress, and among the remaining three teams, the ones left by the two teams were the main assault, which was relatively advantageous in the gradually narrowing confrontation. The IS team left only one sniper player. Less optimistic.
According to the normal way of playing, the best choice for three lone wolves is to stay on the ground and wait for the ranking. This is especially true for the IS and KOG teams - whoever is lucky enough to take the poison will be ranked first in the standings on the first day of the game. First, Shen Ye also reminded Qi Ji to quickly change his gun and lie on the ground. However, just when the commentators began to pray for the next circle to be swept to the side, Qi Ji unexpectedly threw a smoke and fog bomb forward. He kept the enemy's distant view and suddenly rushed out.
"Qi Ji?!" Shen Ye's throat trembled. Just when he was about to criticize something, he heard the young man's clear voice in the headset, and actually criticized him in turn: "Stop talking, just watch."
