know this [Ye Zhou]

The fifth season is the year of Zhou Zekai.This view was generally accepted at the time without even having to wait many years to look back in history.

Samsara's first game of the season is to welcome a strong team at the playoff level at home. The opponent's hard power is far superior to Samsara, but Samsara has just replaced the core from the top sharpshooter Zhang Yiwei with a rookie Zhou Zekai who is under 18 years old.Before the game, the local newspaper wrote pessimistically: "This is a difficult start, and it is the tuition we must pay for the growth of future leaders."

It is true that even Samsara himself has made plans to pay tuition fees for several years and focus on the future. However, Zhou Zekai performed strongly beyond everyone's expectations. He forcefully opened up the situation, caught his opponent by surprise, and won a big victory with a score of 8-2.The Samsara team has always been strong and weak, and they basically rely on beating weak teams to score points. This is the first time in history that they have scored such a big score against a strong team.

Although this game was not selected as a live broadcast, the post-match press conference is routinely edited and broadcast on TV.Zhou Zekai's handsome appearance, which is enough to match his gorgeous skills, caused another round of amazement. Even his super short answer was immediately praised as a master's temperament, which is different from others.The Samsara team reporter wrote excitedly: "Although he is still young, Zhou Zekai's skills are not inferior to the former captain Zhang Yiwei. We have reason to believe that under his leadership, the Samsara team will set off a storm that will sweep S City , ushering in a new era.”

Later facts proved that this statement was still too conservative.Zhou Zekai's skills are not only at the level of "not losing to Zhang Yiwei". After a few rounds of competition, even eSports Weekly published a comment pointing out that the new captain of Samsara quickly and thoroughly wiped away the traces of the previous captain with his strong performance.Zhou Zekai is without a doubt the most watched rookie in the history of the Glory League.If the fourth season is full of flowers, then the fifth season will be Zhou Zekai.

Under the leadership of Zhou Zekai, the Samsara Club has shown an unprecedented momentum of rapid development.After the first round, the annual pass was sold out.The attendance rate was higher one game at a time, and the off-site support from fans became stronger and stronger.The number of reincarnation game video downloads provided by the league's official website is approaching the level of the playoffs in previous years.The fax machine in the Propaganda Department didn't have a single second of idle time, constantly spitting out new advertising cooperation intentions.

As a comment on the forum said: "He has such skills, he doesn't have to have such good looks. He has such good looks, he doesn't need to have such skills."

The future that Fang Minghua predicted came true very quickly, and everyone loved him.

Even the reporters were not spared, although every attempt they made to pry Zhou Zekai's mouth open ended in complete failure.After being tortured by Zhou Zekai, the Reincarnation Propaganda Department finally made a tailor-made plan for him to give up treatment: Anyone who can answer with "um", "oh" and "ah" will be answered in single words; Templates; if templates are not enough, watch reporters laugh.

As a result, Zhou Zekai’s post-match interview style was always “What do you think of today’s game?” “Very good.” “What do you think of today’s opponent?” “Everyone worked hard.” How do you feel?" "Very happy." What's even more frenzied is that even if he always gives the same answer, he still has to think about it before speaking, and the reporters inevitably think that there will be a different answer this time. Then I realized that I was still too naive.After an interview, all the reporters wanted to cry.

But even if it was such an unremarkable answer, as long as it was accompanied by Zhou Zekai's photo, it would still be enough to make the newspaper sell out of stock, and there was no need to make a fuss about it.So much so that some people lamented that interviewing Zhou Zekai only needs to send photographers.So this world that looks at faces is really too cruel.

November 11 is Zhou Zekai's 24th birthday.On the last day of his 18th year, Samsara sat at home and welcomed Team Excellent Era.

Before this battle, Excellent Era ranked third, and Samsara ranked sixth—compared to Samsara's great leap forward, Excellent Era dropped out of the top two for the first time.After regretting losing the championship in the fourth season, Excellent Era experienced a big change. The veteran retired and the newcomer took the lead. After nearly half a season of running-in, the new lineup failed to achieve the smoothness of the past.On the other hand, Ye Qiu is also obviously changing his style of play. He seldom single-handedly breaks through the formation like before, but gradually shifts to a commanding role, relying on tactics to win more games than relying on skills.It caused players to speculate whether Ye Qiu paved the way for retreat because of his age, or because of the influence of last season's finals, he decided to rely more on the team?

Before the game, the two teams shook hands routinely. As soon as Zhou Zekai appeared on the field, there was a neat shout of "Happy Birthday Zhou!" Celebrated Zhou Zekai's birthday in advance.Even though the members of Excellent Era had seen Su Mucheng's popularity before, they couldn't help being taken aback by this momentum.Look at the little handsome guy over there, his face turned tomato-colored, and he just stared down at his toes in a daze.That's all for Goddess Su, and all the single nerds almost want to "burn him to death!"

In this match, Zhou Zekai chose to play in the individual match.Although he entered the professional circle with the lofty ideal of defeating Ye Qiu, and the topic of the best rookie duel No. 1 has been heated up by the media, Zhou Zekai has a very clear understanding of the current strength gap between the two.Now that the situation in Samsara is very good, and it is expected to compete for tickets to the playoffs, the best choice is naturally to be safe and win every point possible.

Samsara's elites did their best and won all three points in the individual competition.In the group arena, Ye Qiu ended the match as Excellent Era's second pick.In the team competition, Excellent Era adopted the tactic of exchanging pieces and forcibly killing the opponent's ace, but the team's execution ability still had loopholes, and Zhou Zekai almost succeeded in counter-killing.However, the members of Samsara could provide Zhou Zekai with very limited help. In the end, Ye Qiu succeeded in filling in for his teammates, and Excellent Era beat Cloud Piercer, winning the team competition.

This was Zhou Zekai's first time facing Ye Qiu on the field.The biggest feeling is the sense of oppression that makes you breathless.The strength seen in the video is quite different from the intuitive feeling face-to-face.He has been paying attention to One Autumn Leaf for a long time, long before he entered the professional circle, so he can also understand Ye Qiu's tactical thinking.But the problem is that even if you clearly know what Ye Qiu is going to do next, you still can't stop it, you can't resist, you can only be drawn into his rhythm.This is the fighting spirit, overbearing to the point of being completely unreasonable.

At the press conference after the game, the first question Zhou Zekai was asked was as usual: "It's a pity that I couldn't celebrate my adulthood with a victory. How does Team Zhou view today's game?"

Zhou Zekai replied: "It's great."

The reporter continued to follow the script: "This is the first time you have played against the God of War, One Autumn Leaf, how does Team Zhou feel?" After asking, he realized, eh, wait, what did Zhou Zekai say just now?Doesn't seem like a consistent routine?

Zhou Zekai was already answering the question: "Very strong."

God, is it going to rain red? Zhou Zekai's answer was not "everyone is excellent".Although I only said two words this time, the amount of information is obviously much larger!The reporter felt dizzy like winning a lottery, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of expectations do you have for the future dialogue with Ye Qiu?"

Zhou Zekai replied: "I will win."

This answer has been hovering in his mind for too long.So when he finally said it, there was not even a trace of hesitation.
