Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 44

result

Lin An’s birthday gift to Hechen was a new mobile phone.

He put some secret thoughts into it, and the mobile phone he gave to Hechen was the same model, same color and same model as his own.

The others didn’t think much about it. Only Qiao Zhi, a man of understanding, understood Sima Zhao’s feelings. He gritted his teeth and called Lin An aside and said, “You should calm down.”

“We haven’t caught him yet. Don’t be so possessive. Can you stop it in moderation?” Qiao Zhi worried about them all day long.

Qiao Zhi’s eyes fell on He Chen without concealment, and it was difficult for He Chen to ignore it.

He didn’t even need to listen, he knew what Qiao Zhizai was talking to Lin An just by thinking about it.He was either escaping or covering his ears, putting on headphones and immersing himself in the game world.

Lin An couldn’t help but laugh when he saw his expression, which became more and more cute the more he looked at it.

“What’s going on with you two?” Qiao Zhi couldn’t understand. Did he catch him or not?

Lin An didn’t intend to reveal his privacy to the public, so the topic turned to the competition: “The second round of the summer competition is coming soon. Spend more time on the battle and less on things like dating.”

Qiao Zhiliu’s eyebrows stood up. This was the first time he heard such a speech that was anti-Tiangang!Who should focus less on falling in love?!

Regardless of the status of the players, in short, after a short break, FP entered into preparations for the second round of the summer split.

Lao Tao picked a time when everyone had free time, gathered them together, and demonstrated the format of the second round to them again on the screen.

The format of the second round of this summer split is slightly different from the past.

“This year we will adopt an eight-to-four BO5 double-elimination tournament format. The game will be tight and all matches will end within two weeks.” Lao Tao said, sending a file to the group. “The specific schedule has been sent to you. Download it and read it yourself. Be careful not to spread it to others.”

“In addition, some adjustments have been made to the training plan. The training table redesigned by the data analyst has just been sent to the group. You should familiarize yourself with it first and communicate with us if you have any questions.”

Lin An listened to the overall analysis that Lao Tao gave them in detail. Seeing that the contestants were all dozing off, Lin An took the initiative and said: “Okay, we have roughly understood the format. Come on, everyone. If you understand, we will break up. If you don’t understand, raise your hands and ask.”

“Why are you in such a hurry to finish the meeting?” Lao Tao glared at him, “Don’t rush into training today. Let’s go to extra classes and analyze our opponents.”

“I noticed that your early game became more and more relaxed, especially you, Fade, who didn’t feel nervous at all.”

Fade stuck out his tongue when his name was called, “Does the competition have to be about bitterness and hatred? Isn’t it a family fun?”

“No!” Lao Tao said: “You are so playful and smiling. You will be sent to the Internet tomorrow and you are told that you have no sense of duel. It’s fine if you win. That is disrespectful to the players. If you lose, it will be a passive confrontation for our FP. There is a problem with the player’s condition.”

At this point, Lao Tao nodded to He Chen, “And you, He Chen, I know that you are intellectually supremacist and believe that hard work can defeat everything. But occasionally… we also have to have a little bit of the impulsiveness and drive that e-sports players have. There is no other reason for you. You are just too easy-going, have a good temper, and have no temper at all. Who is to say that you don’t react to anything… you don’t show any anger at all.”

“That’s right.” Qiao Zhi also agreed with this point and supported him from the side. “Look at the mature e-sports players in China. How many of them don’t grow up day by day? You are the only one who is indifferent to the world day by day. Can you make progress?”

“Is emotional stability a shortcoming?” He Chen asked back.

He went to bed late last night and was still a little sleepy now, but he had become accustomed to this routine, and he could finish his work awake even if he was sleepy.

“It’s not that…” Lao Tao said: “It’s certainly a good thing to have a stable mood. I’ll be happy if you don’t cause trouble for me. It’s just that playing e-sports requires some emotions and impulses…”

“Okay. I’ll try my best.” He Chen stopped Lao Tao’s tirade with one sentence.

If you are a top student and play e-sports, you can work hard for everything.

Lao Tao couldn’t say he was dissatisfied with the look in He Chen’s eyes, “It’s better for you to worry less.”

…save worry?

Qiao Zhi became upset when he thought about the entanglement between him and Lin An, and groaned: “It’s just that it hasn’t gotten to your face yet.”

Lao Tao was confused, “Why are you so weird? Where can you find a good kid like He Chen? What’s wrong with you…”

George was too lazy to pay attention to him, took the page-turning pen, and turned another page of PPT.

Lao Tao’s attention returned to the topic, “As I just mentioned, we are divided into six groups ABCDEF in the first round. The champion team of each group, plus the two runner-up teams with the highest points, will advance to the next round of knockout rounds.”

“We are the champion of Group A. In addition, the champion teams of each group that we should also pay attention to include…”

“HAH, GND, INVE, old friend Royal, and Captor. Group F is relatively…the overall strength is slightly more average.”

“The two runner-up teams with the highest points in the group are Green in our group. Except for losing one game against us, they won every other game. There is also TALE.”

“It’s not easy for our old rivals to fight this time. It shows that the competition this year is really fierce, and everyone relies on their own abilities.”

“What’s going on?” Fade’s eyes sparkled, “There are so many strong teams this year? I’m getting more and more excited…”

“That would be best,” Qiao Zhi sneered, “I hope you can still be so optimistic after hearing what Lao Tao said.”

Lao Tao glanced at Fade with unknown meaning, “There is something else I need to tell you. Pay attention to the Captor team’s game.”

“I wanted to ask just now,” Fade asked again, “Which team is this? I haven’t heard of it much? Is it a new team?”

“It’s not a new team. It has been established for two or three years, but this year is the first time they have been shortlisted for the second round of the summer competition…”

“Why? How come you have made such great progress?”

“Because they have recruited some new members, including our old friends…” Qiao Zhi added expressionlessly.

“Who is it? An old friend?” Fade asked.

The first person to turn around was He Chen. He was leaning on the back of his chair and listening quietly. Suddenly, his eyes became sharp.

“Applejack.” He Chen whispered.

“Bingo!” Lao Tao nodded.”Captor bought a few players from outside teams to form a new team. Although it is not considered a top team overall, the addition of Cider is not good for us.”

“Our training habits and playing style preferences are very familiar to Cider. I don’t know how other teams will fare against them, but we faced Captor…”

Lao Tao didn’t say anything further, but everyone understood what he meant.

He Chen’s eyes subconsciously drifted towards Lin An.

Qiao Zhi also said it before.

When Cider was in FP, the person who led him the most and was paired with him the most was Lin An.

At this moment, he had some indescribable feelings in his heart, like being swept by a willow branch, and the wind passed without a trace, but his heart was thinking about those past events that he had not participated in.

And worry.

His partner for several years definitely knew Lin An much more deeply than a player who had just observed and analyzed Lin An’s games.

This is a tacit understanding that even He Chen dare not compare to, and it was honed through actual combat.

He Chen stared at the corner of the conference table in a daze. Suddenly, his body suddenly jumped upward.

Coco next to her was startled, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

He sat next to He Chen and saw that the roots of his ears under his broken hair were red and his fair side face was filled with hazy blood, and he couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

“It’s okay.” He Chen said calmly, “There are insects crawling over my feet.”

“Really?” Coco wanted to look down, but was caught by He Chen. He was still out of the situation and asked curiously: “Our base has been doing a good job in disinfection… Could it be that the conference room is above the kitchen and there are bugs?”

He Chen’s hand was very strong just now, and he didn’t look like he was sick, so Coco felt relieved.

Under the table, He Chen kicked off Lin An’s legs, turned sideways with his eyebrows raised, and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: “…restraint.”

“What’s wrong with me?” Lin An said with a smile, “I just want to be closer to you.”

He Chen was speechless. Ever since Lin An expressed his feelings to him, these little backhanded gestures had been happening one after another.

Being interrupted by him, those sad thoughts just now faded away.

“I haven’t agreed yet.” He Chen moved his legs away to prevent him from touching her.

No one noticed the little moves between the two of them. On the other side, Fade had doubts and asked curiously: “Did Captor finally give Applejack the price he wanted?”

This bastard still thinks that they broke up with FP because of the signing fee.

Lao Tao shrugged, “I don’t know about that, you can ask our Qiao Qiao.”

As expected, Qiao Zhi did have some information channels of his own, “If it doesn’t reach that number, it’s a fantasy, isn’t it? He achieved the previous results by himself?”

“But it’s not too different,” Qiao Zhi said: “Why do all players want to enter the World Championship? It is true that the big-game players who have entered the World Championship are in demand everywhere, and their worth goes up a level. This is also true.”

“But do they dare to ask for a player like Applejack who is just looking for money?” Fade didn’t quite understand.

“I think they like this better.” Venus knows a little bit about it: “For a commercial team, wouldn’t it be easier to control them if they like money?”

After so long, FP people are still a little embarrassed when Applejack is mentioned again.

No matter what, they are all teammates who have fought side by side.

Taking part in the competition again was tit for tat, and I was still a little uncomfortable.

“I hope we won’t face each other directly. It will be ugly if we win instead of losing.” Fade sighed.

But sometimes hope is like a good thing but not a bad spirit.

That night, after the results of the first round of draws came out, everyone looked at Fade in unison.

In the first round of the knockout round, eight teams faced off in pairs.

Game 1: FPvsCaptor.
