Jungle is super annoying

Walking a dog is exhausting.

It was noon when they woke up, and there were not many people walking their dogs outside, but there were quite a lot of people sitting in the community garden.The world is too big and can only be taken to a place with fewer people, and it takes a long time to come back to eat.

For the three teams in the World Championship, TNG needs to arrive at the competition venue before the other two teams, because they are the No. [-] seed, so they have to play a World Championship qualifying match before they can enter the World Championship.

However, most of the finalists are wild card teams. With the strength of TNG, which has been struggling in the LPL for so many years, it is not a big problem to enter the main match, but I dare not take it lightly. The team is very embarrassed.

After the holiday, the players immediately put into new training.

The official version for the World Championship has been released. Several mid laners who are good at bottom lane and He Di have been modified. The popular jungler has also been replaced with other heroes. The blind monk is still on the list.

The rise of Ruan Fu shifted the team's focus to Xu Qiao again. Fortunately, TNG itself does not completely stock up on the bottom lane, but He Di needs to make some adjustments to the hero pool. It is not a big problem. Before heading to the arena He Di felt that he was almost adjusted.

Then there is the question of tactics.

A version change will definitely mean a change in tactics. Of course, there are also teams that reverse the version and select heroes with high proficiency, but that is a minority after all.

This year's World Championship will be held in China, and without the process of jet lag, the players can better perform at their own level.

TNG has made great strides all the way from the play-in round, and directly won No.1 in the play-in round and successfully advanced to the main match, joining forces with NK and AST.

The hotel was officially arranged, Zhou You and He Di still lived in the same room, pushed the beds together very simply, and still slept with their arms around each other at night.

He Di found that Zhou You liked to hug him very much.

This kind of liking is not limited to a sudden kiss while hugging, rubbing his head against the side of his face suddenly while hugging, and some special reactions suddenly appearing while hugging.

It is probably because the two beds that were put together aroused some interest in Zhou You. In addition to the beds being put together, he also puts the two people's water glasses together in his daily life.

Living in a hotel is not like staying at a base. There is an exclusive drink freezer, and every time you want to drink something, you have to go downstairs to buy it yourself.

He Di was too lazy to move, and poked Zhou You next to him: "Buy me a bottle of Coke."

"No," Zhou You handed over a glass of water, "Drink less Coke and more water."

"...Thank you." He Di subconsciously took it.

"Drink more water from now on," Zhou You continued, "Stop drinking Coke, it's bad for your health."

"...Hey," He Di responded, blinking at him, "You don't care about me?"

"Well," Zhou You nodded, and asked cautiously, "Is it not possible?"

"Yes, why not," He Di thought it was fun, Zhou You seemed to be more and more casual with him, not as stiff as he was at the beginning, it was fine, "Is it okay to drink three bottles a week? I can't let me quit all at once. Break it?"

"Okay." Zhou You continued to nod, heaving a sigh of relief.

He Di smiled for a while, then continued to hit his own rank.

It’s okay if you don’t take the initiative to mention the warning, but He Di always thinks about not being able to drink Coke if you take the initiative to mention it, and you can divert your attention during training. Usually, your own rank is really obsessed, and it feels wrong to drink water from a water glass.

Fortunately, traveling around regardless of smoking.

Otherwise, if he was asked to quit smoking at this juncture, he might not necessarily comply, although he didn't seem to refuse Zhou You much... But quitting smoking really requires too much energy.

The World Championship is just around the corner, so it's not easy to spread out something, so as not to affect your state and pit your teammates.

The people in the team obviously thought the same way, and their mental state was as full as that of elementary school students on the first day of school, and they were full of energy no matter what.

But high energy doesn't mean high grades.

According to the grouping, NK is in Group A, AST is in Group C, and TNG from the play-in round is assigned to Group D. The official competition is much more difficult than the play-in round, and the top teams from all over the world gather here , The group stage was not played smoothly.

NK made it to the quarter-finals with all victories, and AST only lost one game. Relatively speaking, although TNG also entered the quarter-finals, it was a very bumpy road, and it took a playoff to confirm that he was promoted as the second seed. The quarterfinals will play BO5 again in a few days.

The domestic audience almost gave up hope for them. The team was sprayed all over from top to bottom, saying everything, and of course there were some people who were justified, saying that TNG was originally the third seed and was going to the world. The best team in the competition, it's good enough to enter the quarterfinals, but some people say that it's good if you get into the quarterfinals for the World Championship?

Anyway, what to say.

The quarter-finals will be against the old opponent, Aurora's team. The hotel they live in is next door, which is quite close, but Zhou You doesn't go out very often, and has rarely met him except on the field.

"By the way," Cheng Mingyun held up his mobile phone, turned to He Di and said, "Tong Li is coming this time, do you know?"

He Di obviously paused for a moment, his eyes were full of bewilderment: "What is he doing here?"

"Come to explain," Cheng Mingyun said, "For our top eight match, he came to be a guest commentator, and the official notice was sent."

With that said, he handed the phone to He Di: "Take a look."

He Di took the phone, and it did write the commentary lineup for the next day, including Tong Li.

Tong Li was He Di's former teammate. He was also on the field in the qualifying match two years ago. That time was the closest he got to the World Championship, but he never got a ticket for the World Championship. He also retired because of this. Zheng Rui came to take his place.

At that time, Tong Li was really old, and he couldn't keep up with some subtle reactions. He himself was switching to logistics, coaching or analyst positions, but no one thought that after the game, he would You can choose to retire directly.

After retiring, he didn't even stay in the TNG where he stayed for seven years. Instead, he chose to be an anchor. Now the number of fans is not bad, and he is officially invited to be a guest. The income should be very considerable.

But when He Di saw these two words, what he thought of was the bubbling match two years ago. After losing, the starting five players were all behind the scenes, looking down at the tip of their shoes, or covering their faces with their hands. He was willing to let people see his tears, only Tong Li looked at the audience, the stage, and the other team bowing and cheering from the curtain.

"What are you thinking?" Cheng Mingyun took the phone back.

"It's nothing." He Di frowned, "It's... I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Yes." Cheng Mingyun replied.

It's been a long time.

Although Tong Li's live broadcast room is open every day, He Di always doesn't have the courage to click in. For some reason, when he sees Tong Li, he will think of that look, regret, reluctance, and... resentment.

Intuition told him that Tong Li might know something, but when he hinted in every possible way, Tong Li said that he didn't know anything.

The first day of the quarter-finals was TNG's match. A group of people got on the bus after getting up and tidying up, and headed to the stadium.

"I'll have a meal in the stadium later," the team leader said, "I'll play a few solo games first, are you still in good shape?"

"It's okay." Cheng Mingyun and Xu Qiao said together.

Zhou You didn't speak all the time, he rested next to He Di with his eyes closed, and he looked carefully and found that he was not asleep, his eyelashes were trembling all the time, and he looked very disturbed.

When getting out of the car, He Di pulled him, and found that his palms were covered with cold sweat.

"It's okay, just relax," He Di frowned, and quickly relaxed, "We have already played against Aurora's team in MSI, it's okay, we will definitely win, you know?"

"I know," Zhou You wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs, "I'm just a little nervous."

"Do you want to touch your head?" He Di walked into the lounge and put the peripheral bag on the chair.

There were quite a lot of people around, Zhou You really wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Let's play two solos."

"Okay." He Di took out his peripherals.

The journey from the play-in round to the quarter-finals was not easy. The biggest reason was that Zhou You's performance in this World Championship was not good, and he didn't show his true level at all.

The worse the state is, the more you want to prove yourself, the more aggressive you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.And in such a high-intensity situation where both sides have similar strengths, the comparison is who can make the fewest mistakes.

When the first game officially started, Zhou You was still wiping sweat on his trouser legs. He put a piece of paper on his palm before holding the mouse, and took several deep breaths in succession.

No matter how many versions you change, the blind monk will always be on the playing list. In the first game of Zhou You, he got the blind monk he is good at as a jungle hero. The rhythm of the jungle area in the early stage is still ideal. But it was quite satisfactory. In the later stage, He Di and Xu Qiao took over the game and successfully won the first round.

The second one was planned by the opponent to invade the wild area at the first level. The rhythm of roaming has been rotten since the first wave. After clearing the wild area, there is nothing to do. My level is too low. Go to the online gank It is too easy to be counter-killed by counter-squatting, so he had to finish the defensive ward. However, when he was warding, he encountered a gank on the top lane, and Zhou You was caught by the opponent's mid laner on the way to support.

Although He Di provided support in time, he himself was shot out with a dodge, and Cheng Mingyun on the top lane was killed. The jungler's disadvantage directly radiated to the top lane. Not long after, the middle lane was also gank, and the entire upper, middle, and jungle became a mess. .

Although the bottom lane is still developing peacefully, in this version, if the top and middle field can't stand up, it is very difficult for ad to survive, especially when the opponent's top singles and jungle are all heroes with prominent faces, Xu Qiao has no output environment at all, just like this TNG was pressed down on the ground by the opponent and hammered hard.

During the short break, the coach never stopped talking.

He was originally a Korean, but now his Chinese is so good that he can sing raps on stage, and he talked a lot when he was on stage for bp, but the opposite party did not choose the combination of Jiaoyue and Daomei as he expected, bp had to reconsider.

The third game started with He Di's solo kill in the middle lane. The middle lane is short, and being solo killed once won't completely collapse like the top lane. But in this kind of tournament, there is no solo kill by both junglers and obs. Very demoralizing.

After He Di got the advantage, he directly spread his advantage to the bottom lane. He and Zhou You made four packs of two. After playing 0 for 2, he directly won the first blood tower and hit the first wind dragon by the way, while the jungler on the opposite side I can only take this opportunity to win the canyon pioneer and stop my losses.

In the mid-to-late stage of a team battle, He Di flashed directly to the two opponents. Zheng Rui followed and played a wave of perfect control. The opponent didn't even have a chance to harass Xu Qiao's output and was wiped out. Pulling the score to 2 to 1, the fourth one wanted to continue this momentum, and indeed gained an advantage in the early stage, but it failed to end the game directly like the previous one.

Also in the middle and late stages, if you take the Baron, you can directly drop the opponent in a wave, but Aurora's ez long-range ult directly captures the Baron. Zhou You didn't even use his punishment, and the Baron was robbed just like that.

"I'm sorry," Zhou You frowned and apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay, it's just a big dragon," Zheng Rui hurriedly comforted, "They can't beat them."

"We can have a direct wave later," He Di said, "We have a great advantage."

But the team that gets the dragon buff can obviously defend their wave of offense.

The small soldiers with the big dragon buff make it difficult for TNG to advance, so they can only retreat conservatively and wait for the ancient dragon or the next small dragon.

During the period, Zhou You was caught and killed again, and he was a little lost. He didn't know whether it was a problem with his mentality or state. He Di frowned and didn't say anything to reprimand him, but said: "Follow us, Zhou You, wait for the resurrection to go straight Go to the dragon."

"...Okay." Zhou You replied seriously.

This game, which could have ended in 25 minutes, was fought until 39 minutes because of the big dragon that Zhou You lost. He Di drove to the opponent's three players, but was caught afterward, couldn't do any damage, and died suddenly on the ground. in the crowd.At this moment, Zhou You stepped forward from the side, and the blind monk flashed a roundabout kick and kicked the C position to meet Cheng Mingyun, knocking two people into the air along the way. At this time, Zheng Rui entered the field again, and he was able to completely control the scene.

"Second ad! Second!" He Di looked at his black and white screen and commanded loudly, "Xu Qiao pay attention to the position, watch the ad, watch the ad, the mid laner didn't flash!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou You hit the opponent's mid laner with another Q skill. The hero who didn't flash could only bear the damage of this segment of Tiansonic Wave, and finally fell to the ground, blowing the trumpet of TNG's victory.

The audience had already started to cheer when the victory of this wave of groups began to lean towards TNG, the crystal exploded, Zhou You took off his earphones, stood up and hugged He Di without saying a word.

"Good fight, good fight," Cheng Mingyun was about to give Zhou You a high-five, but when he turned his head, the jungler and mid laner were already hugging each other, so he could only retract his hand and pat his leg, "Good fight. "

"The last wave was so handsome!" Xu Qiao was still very excited, "We have entered the semi-finals! The semi-finals!"

"Four finals!" Zheng Rui was also very excited, "Okay!"

He Di twitched his lips and looked at them helplessly, then patted Zhou You on the back: "Are you ready? I'm going to bow and shake hands."

"I'm sorry," Zhou You said softly, "I didn't play well."

"The state is not something you can control," He Di said, "Just come back from the semi-finals. What are you afraid of?"

What are you afraid of?

Zhou You himself didn't know.

He really didn't think he was afraid, but his condition was declining day by day. Obviously nothing was affecting him, but he seemed to be standing in a fog, unable to see the direction clearly.

The other three members of the team didn't seem to be affected by anything. Instead, they cheered because they entered the semi-finals. After returning to the lounge, they raised their arms and shouted: "We! Yes! The semi-finals!"

"Can you say something better?" Ye Nian was speechless, "It seems like you are only the top four."

"Win the championship!" Xu Qiao raised her arms and continued to shout.

"Win the championship!" Zheng Rui shouted.

He Di smiled, and didn't shout anything after them, Zhou You was sitting next to him, very quietly.

"Whose game is tomorrow?" He Di deliberately asked him to talk.

"AST," Zhou You leaned on him, "AST is playing QVG."

"Let's watch it together," He Di said, "We won't rank when they play, let's take a break and find out how we feel."

Zhou You stared at He Di for a long time, annoyed at his poor condition, sniffed again, and said, "Okay."

But no one expected that in the second day's game, AST, the second seed team, was defeated 0-3 against the QVG team from South Korea. They stopped at the top eight and became the first LPL team to be eliminated. clan.
