Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 73
byFight again
Although the official intention was to block the news, the accidental accident that FP team members encountered in the North American Division still reached the ears of domestic fans.
The latest update on FP’s official account is a poster of players competing in the World Championships. The comment area below this update was almost flooded with requests for confirmation and doubts.
Qiao Zhi stayed in the hospital to stay with Lin An and He Chen. He went out to buy breakfast in the morning and came back with a cotton ball in his mouth.
He didn’t even go to Lin An’s ward to see, but directly opened the door of Hechen’s ward.
Sure enough, both people were in the room.
Lin An, who had only one leg left to move, was sitting in a wheelchair and was not worried. She was holding He Chen’s hand and didn’t know what to say.He suddenly lowered his head and kissed He Chen’s hand, making He Chen’s eyebrows curl up.
This rare moment of tenderness is actually only available in the hospital.
Qiao Zhi felt uncomfortable and couldn’t help but slow down his steps.
“Lao Tao will pick you up in the car in half an hour…I have applied with the competition team. There will be staff to help push your wheelchair in the afternoon, and the soundproof cabin will be adjusted in advance.” Qiao Zhi put the milk and toast on the table and said vaguely.
Lin An touched the milk carton with his hand. It was hot. After inserting the straw, he handed it to He Chen.
In just one day, the genius e-sports player’s wheelchair driving skills had become perfect. He looked at Qiao Zhi and asked him: “What’s wrong with his mouth?”
“Can’t you see it yet?” Qiao Zhi said angrily, “It’s getting angry and blistering. The fans are almost blowing up the team.”
“We should appease the fans,” Lin An understood the anger of domestic fans. “The news is not flowing smoothly, and they are also anxious at home.”
Qiao Zhi took a deep breath, “Am I angry because of the fans? I am angry because of the players in the team who are physically disabled and strong-willed but want to play.”
“Who is it? So inspiring?” Lin An asked him curiously as he took a sip of milk.
Qiao Zhi decided not to answer in order to avoid being annoyed by Lin An in a foreign country.
He looked at Lin An’s legs and deliberately asked Lin An in front of He Chen: “Does your leg still hurt?”
“It’s okay, it won’t delay the game.” Lin An said lightly.
He Chen put down the milk and touched Lin An’s knees, as lightly as touching a pearl.
Qiao Zhi didn’t want to help him cover it up and exposed him directly, “I asked the doctor and he thought that at this stage, the pain in your injured leg will affect your concentration, so he suggested that you get an injection to relieve the pain.”
Lin An raised his hand, poked He Chen’s frown away, and laughed, “You heard him exaggerate, it doesn’t hurt that much.”
He said it in an understatement, but He Chen knew it well, how could it not hurt.
But painkillers will affect his reaction speed and concentration.
The arena is changing rapidly, and Lin An is not just a player, he is also the captain of the FP team.
As long as he can still move, he must fight.
As long as he plays, he must go all out.
“Today’s game…” He Chen was in low spirits and his voice was a little hoarse.
“We can win.” Lin An held He Chen’s hand and pressed a little harder, “Trust me.”
…
Hechen’s brain has not fully recovered and needs to take more rest as directed by the doctor.
While he was sleeping, Qiao Zhi was dealing with various problems.
Rumors were rampant online that FP was about to withdraw from the competition. Qiao Zhi suppressed the news and did not dare to make a statement easily. He only explained that he would not withdraw from the competition.
The club did not expect such a big thing to happen this time. While putting pressure on Qiao Zhi, they also questioned his ability to lead the team.
At this juncture, GND accidentally posted on Weibo.
[GND will represent the Chinese team and continue its glory.】
Qiao Zhi’s teeth tightened. He looked back at He Chen, who was still sleeping, and silently cursed, “Fuck me.”
GND came out to muddy the waters at this time, which is obviously to absorb FP’s traffic and support its reputation of bringing glory to the country.
Unfortunately, FP couldn’t respond much, so Qiao Zhi had to choke the dumb guy.
Lin An’s body couldn’t really be unaffected.During the intensive training time after the domestic competition, Lay did not cooperate with everyone as much as He Chen.The PlanB tactic was proposed by Lao Tao, but it has always been an alternative.
Taken together, there are too many uncertainties in FP’s game today, and Qiao Zhi really can’t be optimistic about it.He would rather the pressure be on himself than the players who are fighting for their lives in front be put in the spotlight.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
“Manager Qiao, please.”
Qiao Zhi came to Hechen and immediately put on a smile, “Why are you awake? Did I disturb you?”
He Chen shook his head and pointed to the clock on the wall.
“The game starts in 2 hours. I’d like to borrow your cell phone.”
“Log in to your account and won’t flip through it, okay?”
Hechen lost his mobile phone and didn’t have time to buy a new one.
Qiao Zhi was a little hesitant, not because he was afraid that He Chen would flip through his phone randomly, “You should be able to guess that in this situation, we won’t be well-received online…”
He said it tactfully, but He Chen had some expectations in his heart.
Qiao Zhi logged out of his social media account and gave him his phone.
When Hechen went online, his account was stuck for a few seconds due to too much information, and then there was an overwhelming number of private messages and messages.
Most of them are worried and encouraged, and there are also many people who badmouth FP.
[I’m afraid the accident is false, but wanting to quit the race is true, right?】
[FP is really well acted, 666]
[If you can’t fight, can you give up your position to someone with strength?】
[It is reasonable to suspect that FP’s trick this time is to cover up the fact that the team is not strong enough.】
[From the beginning of the season when I was a rookie, I had a hunch that FP was going to pull a big wave for me.】
[Fans, please stop washing your hands and return the glory of the competition area?Shame on the division.】
【Not used to it yet?This is not the first time that FP has avoided fighting against a strong team.】
[Leave aside the domestic competition, FP cannot retain players, and no one would have any objections to its continued decline.】
[Let me just say this, with FP’s current model, it is impossible to win the World Championship Gold Cup!】
These are still content that can be viewed, and there are also some dirty words that are just for taking out the trash.
He Chen’s expressionless expression seemed to be back to the time when he kept strangers away from him at the beginning. Qiao Zhi watched with fear, fearing that these words would cause secondary damage to He Chen’s injured brain.
“Well, this is normal, don’t worry about it.” Qiao Zhi said, without stopping, peeling an apple for He Chen, “If you win, you will praise and if you lose, you will scold, that’s what this business is about, not to mention those of us who are suspected of running away from the battle. Fans who didn’t buy plane tickets and fly over to criticize us are considered tolerant.”
“It’s over if we don’t look at it.” Qiao Zhi wanted to take the phone back, just in case He Chen slipped and liked something, “Here, eat the apple. Don’t think so much now, it’s important to have a good rest.”
He Chen glanced at ten lines and made a simple partition in his mind about the trolls’ insults about FP.
Qiao Zhi was still thinking carefully: “No matter what you say now, the trolls won’t reason with you. If you explain, you will lose your standing. It’s better to wait for the truth to slap them in the face.”
“I’m afraid not.” He Chen returned the phone to Qiao Zhi and shook his head politely.
Unexpectedly, the most worry-free child would be so stubborn at the critical moment, so Qiao Zhi had no choice but to move out of Lin An, “Lin An said he would win, don’t you believe him?”
“I believe him.” He Chen lowered his eyes, “But these are two different things.”
Before Qiao Zhi confiscated his crime tools, He Chen briefly explained his thoughts to him.
Qiao Zhi said with a black face, “No.”
“You’re just trying to gather fire, and if it really happens in the end…” It was unlucky to say this before the game, but Qiao Zhi couldn’t help but think about it, “You will be the first one to be scolded and ridiculed.”
“I know,” Hechen said, “but I can’t watch my teammates charge into battle and watch you worry about our finishing.”
“This is what I’m going to do,” he said.
…
Although news of FP’s accident had spread widely, when Lin An appeared on the field, a burst of exclamations mixed with “god” inevitably broke out in the field.
The two commentators received the news in advance and explained the reason why Lin An entered the venue in a wheelchair.
“Previously, a Gloam player from China suffered a broken leg, so he applied for a special channel with the organizer.”
“As you can also see, player Dawn, who just showed us a hearty duel yesterday, was absent from the game today due to some force majeure reasons. He was replaced by Lay, another FP support player. Let us look forward to his performance together.”
“Of course, I personally think it is a pity for Dawn. This is his first World Championship, and he has just left a mark in the hearts of the audience, but he is unable to play during this critical period, and there is a high probability that he will even miss the rest of the World Championship. It is no exaggeration to say that for Dawn, this is likely to affect his entire career.”
“How many times can a player enter the world championships in his entire e-sports career? It is indeed a pity.”
“From the perspective of this game… Gloam played with an injury, and the talented newcomer player who has been well adapted is absent. For FP, this situation is undoubtedly a disaster.”
“It’s too exaggerated.” He Chen listened to the commentary in the live broadcast and said expressionlessly in his live broadcast room: “The earth will still rotate without anyone.”
There were so many barrages in the live broadcast room that it was almost impossible to see clearly what was on them. He Chen chose some responses.
“Why don’t I go? Because of some personal reasons. There will be a detailed official statement later.”
“Predict the situation of this game? Trust my teammates.”
“Aren’t you afraid that your teammates will lose the game if you are so confident? No, what’s the shame in wanting to win? If you don’t even dare to think about winning, you are really not worthy of this competition.”
“Will it have any impact if Lin An is injured and plays?” He Chen paused for a moment after reading this.
Will it have any impact?
For top players, physical pain will definitely affect the distribution of attention and even micro-management.
But to what extent can Lin An do it…
The camera switched and gave Lin An a close-up.
He Chen sat up slightly and stared at Lin An’s figure from the screen.
Lin An raised his head, and the big screen in the venue was showing clips of the interview He Chen accepted yesterday.
“Strong teams have blossomed on the stage this season. Do you think FP can continue its past glory?”
Hechen smiled slightly at the camera, “I believe in my teammates and FP.”
Lin An looked away and spoke firmly.
“Go on.”
