You are messing around again [e-sports]

Maybe it's the weather, or maybe it's because today's games don't attract so much attention. The stadium that was bustling with people yesterday is obviously deserted now.

Shen Yanming followed He Changkong and the others into the viewing seats and sat on the top of a distant mountain.

For the sake of fairness, the teams in the "Return to the Throne" professional league are all drawn before the game.Therefore, for the players—especially the teams that are drawn higher, the preparation time will be a little hasty.

For example, the CTG vs. JT in this match was the first team drawn yesterday at the opening ceremony.

Now the two teams are ready in the player room, there are quite a few familiar faces, Shen Yanming is not in the mood.However, he still wanted to know what kind of medicine He Changkong and Meng Yan were selling in the gourd, so he followed patiently.

The game is a bo3 (best of three games) format.In the first ctg game, Aji was the core. In the first 10 minutes, Aji took five kills. This result looks good, but it is not too surprising. The opponents are not good at fighting the enemy alone. Fang laning made even more mistakes today.

Even so, there was still a burst of cheers when CTG won the victory.

The big screen gave a close-up of Aggie who was high-fiving his teammates. He had a smug smile on his face and even whistled.

Since Aji lost to Shen Yanming last time, he has never been on the Internet again.

The coach of ctg approached him and took back his social account to make him less troublesome online.

His social account has been blocked and he can’t post, but that doesn’t mean he’s not reading comments from netizens. He’s signed up for a small account, and every day he looks like he’s obsessed. Whenever he’s free, he searches his name to see what others think of him. evaluation of.

From the moment he lost, the forums and Weibo were flooded with posts discussing this solo, making him unable to breathe.

He has just started playing professionally, and he is not yet a star player, only a few fans are still cheering for him.

But those cheering voices are really insignificant in the ridicule.

Almost everyone was laughing at him, saying that he would have admitted earlier that he was not as good as others, but he was so unreliable that it was too embarrassing to be in the present situation.

Furious, he scoured the internet for additional information on [I'm messing around again].

He felt that this person must be a player from a strong team who intentionally manipulated his mentality.

But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any evidence.

He refused to admit that he was beaten like this by an ordinary anchor.

Aji has these things in mind, and his training status has seriously declined.

It is about to participate in the regular season. This is the first time that ctg has participated in the regular season since its establishment. The bosses of the club also have high hopes for these players.

Who would have thought that Ah Ji would be out of his mind every day, and it would be fine if he played poorly in the daily team training. He would make appointments with other teams for training matches, and the entire ctg team would also lose repeatedly because of his mistakes.

He didn't wake up until the coach told him that he might be demoted to the bench.

He has to play hard, he has finally become a professional player, and he must not fall down here with an anchor.

But things always backfired, maybe because of too much psychological pressure, the more he wanted to show his strength, the more he couldn't do it.

Seeing the coach's face getting darker and darker, he contacted a few buddies who were short of money in the training team.

He was terrified when he first asked someone to fight a match-fixing match. The whole training match took less than 10 minutes, and he seemed to have spent 40 years.He was afraid of being discovered, so he would let go of simple skills, but later he discovered that he didn't need to use his brain, and the actors on the opposite side would cooperate with him and die under his sword.

He calmed down, and except for the initial mistake, he played decently afterwards, as if he really took so many kills by virtue of his ability and led the team to fly.

No one else noticed anything unusual, and even the coaches and teammates came over to encourage him, saying that as long as he plays hard, he can still play well.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

After the first time, there will be the second time, the third time... But it doesn't matter anymore, he has already stepped out of the shadow of that anchor, as long as he adjusts his mentality and plays normally, not to mention getting a good result, but There is still no problem showing his face during the regular season.

But after he came to the arena, he saw this lingering anchor again.

It was just an entertainment bureau at the opening ceremony, and it was just a water friend who was drawn up. He actually stole the limelight and became the center of the topic, and was even competed for by two strong teams.

When his teammates came over and joked, "I didn't expect to be so good with your solo anchor last time, you were also unlucky", the water in Aji's hand was directly spilled.

He wanted to win, he had to win, he didn't want to be the control group for such an anchor, he didn't want others to mention him only saying that he was from a round of tours, but he didn't want to use that kind of envious tone when mentioning that anchor.

He forgot that no one actually cares about this.

He only wants to win, no matter what method he uses, and he wants to stay in this arena as long as possible.

He did too.

He looked down at the audience cheering for him, and felt that he was finally—floating on a cloud.

Shen Yanming leaned close to He Changkong's ear and whispered, "You said he played fake matches?"

After all, this kind of thing is a fatal stain for professional players, and it is not something that can be said casually. Therefore, even if Shen Yanming was annoyed by Aji, he did not dare to speak out without evidence.

He Changkong felt his ears itch, moved a little to the side, and nodded.

Shen Yanming's first reaction was, isn't it, what's the point of facing an opponent of this level?

After looking around, Shen Yanming leaned over again: "How do you know that?"

Meng Yan wasn't as scrupulous as Shen Yanming, anyway, the tickets for this game couldn't be sold out, and the closest spectators around them were several meters away from them.Meng Yan directly said in a voice slightly lower than normal volume: "Do you know that he has been proud recently?"

Shen Yanming shook his head.

Meng Yan said again: "It's just that after he lost to you that time, he was in a bad state and kept losing, and was warned by their senior management."

Shen Yanming: "A classmate mentioned this..."

However, he is not very clear about the follow-up. Since that solo, he has never given Aji a look, and he doesn't care whether this person is square or round, proud or frustrated.

"After being warned, it's as if he's been completely reborn. Didn't their team make appointments for a few training matches? Of course, they also made appointments with teams with comparable results, or some members of the second team..."

This doesn't need to be explained by Meng Yanduo, Shen Yanming also understands that the competitive circle of their game is said to be a group of hot-blooded teenagers chasing their dreams, but sometimes it is quite realistic, if you don't play well, there will be no strong team to make an appointment with you training match.Occasionally, a strong team will help a weak team to help the poor, and that is only occasionally. Just one or two once in a while, some weak teams with a slightly lower level will feel that they cannot handle it.

Meng Yan continued: "Then Aji found a few people and gave them money to lose."

Shen Yanming felt unbelievable. What is this picture? It's just a training match, and the opponents are of the same level, so they may not be able to beat them... Is it necessary?

Even if it's because he feels unwilling after being hammered by him, shouldn't normal people try to improve themselves and come to solo in a dignified manner if they want to regain face?

Shen Yanming felt that Meng Yan's statement was still quite outrageous, at least in the previous life, except for the last point of nonsense, Aji behaved like a normal person.

However, Shen Yanming also thought that Meng Yan should not be the kind of person who talks nonsense, so he asked bluntly: "Then how do you know, it is impossible to ask you to play fake matches, right?"

Meng Yan took out his mobile phone mysteriously, pointed to a screenshot of a group of five people on the screen and said, "This was sent to me by my brother."

"Your brother?"

"Cousin, I'm just playing with you. These guys in the group are also playing with you. They're all players. They're veterans."

Shen Yanming: "This..."

Players standing at the top of the pyramid naturally don't have to worry about money, but many players who participate in the competition can only play one round, and players who can't even qualify for the league are not so happy. Many small team clubs themselves are In the grass-roots team, the salary of the players is lower than that of the white-collar workers in the office.In order to earn more, some players will engage in live broadcast or play with them as a sideline after training.This is also the unspoken rule at the bottom of the circle.

And judging from the screenshot given by Meng Yan, Aji offered them a price of [-] yuan.Aji's family conditions are good, and he can really afford the money.

This price is neither too much nor too little, at least for these low-level players who are exhausted every month but may not even be able to earn more than [-] yuan a month, it is still very attractive.

And it was just a private training match, not a regular match... In addition, the teams of several players who were looking for were actually not shortlisted for this year's league selection, and a few of them simply agreed to Aji.

Shen Yanming frowned when he heard this: "Is this still a contestant? Don't you have any sense of faith?"

Meng Yan patted Shen Yanming on the shoulder: "Little friend, not everyone comes here for their dreams and enthusiasm. Think about it, some people can do nothing but play games, but playing games, it's not The one who played the best, then they want to be just right..."

He Changkong interrupted Meng Yan: "Don't talk about such nonsense."

Meng Yan spread his hands and said: "I just described the psychology of some people, and I didn't say it was right."

Of course, Shen Yanming also knew that there were such people, but he had never dealt with such people before. Hearing what Meng Yan said now, he was somewhat shocked.

"Then you can't play fake matches." Shen Yanming wrinkled his face and said again, "But you only have a chat screenshot here..."

Speaking of this, Meng Yan also became angry: "Indeed, my idiot brother is also a frizzy man. He saw a few buddies in the group chatting about the match-fixing, got into an argument with them and quit the group. , I only left this screenshot, which cannot be used as evidence at all..."

Shen Yanming: "...Then what about today's event?"

Meng Yan put the phone back, and said: "Didn't today's event be settled last night? Last night in the backstage, there was a small utility room. There should be no one there. Your Brother Kong and I helped move some things." In the past, isn’t it just a coincidence, I heard that they were making some shady deals. I really didn’t expect that Aji would become like this. Let’s just do something in the training match, and dare to do it in the regular season... The point Did he actually find someone willing to fight with him?"

Shen Yanming sighed with mixed emotions. Apart from regret, he probably also had a bit of resentment: "What's the point? If you fight against a stronger team, you will be exposed."

Meng Yan: "You're right, but that's not the point. The point is that your Brother Kong calmly took out his cell phone to record the sound, pulled me aside, and waited for Aji to leave. Your Brother Kong appeared very handsomely. .”

He Changkong touched his ears, but didn't make a sound.

Shen Yanming looked at him, and then at Meng Yan: "Brother Kong made his appearance handsomely, and then what? After you recorded the sound, there was no more? You still 'won' the ctg just now..."

Meng Yan pretended to be mysterious, he raised his chin, and signaled Shen Yanming to look at the big screen: "Here, look."

The second round has already started. If you win this round, ctg can advance to the next round.

It's just... the jt team member who had been making mistakes repeatedly just now, suddenly caught Aji and beat him as if he had taken a magic medicine and beat him, and took a dozen of his heads in a row.

After the fight, Aji's mentality was blown. Before the game was over, he stood up directly.

During the game, the audience couldn't hear the player's voice, but they could see his mouth shape, which seemed to say "how is it possible".

The audience below was in an uproar.

Shen Yanming also turned to look at He Changkong: "So this is... what's going on?"
