matchstick heaven

The day before the final, the officials released the pre-match trash talk between Eagle and AT.

This year's trash talk highlights a perfunctory one. Except for the two players in the middle lane, BlaceTea and Lott, who shouted at each other to decide the LPL's first mid laner in the game, only Luna's sentence "the opponent's bottom lane has never defeated me" is left. A little bit of gunpowder.

Relatively speaking, on the contrary, the bold words and ambitions of the coaches of the two teams at the end of the video are more exciting.

The head coach of AT, Guo Tong, and Shen Qing used to be colleagues. They debuted in the same season and served as assistant coaches in the same team. After the second year, both of them signed to other teams and became head coaches.

Shen Qing and Guo Tong have a good relationship and have kept in touch so far. They will discuss ideas at the beginning of the season.

Unlike Shen Qing's professional experience of changing teams all the time, Guo Tong has only been in 3 teams, each of which has been there for a long time.

In the video, Guo Tong smiled honestly at the camera. He said: "Every time I lose to Brother Shen in BO5, I hope to win him once, and I also hope that my players can continue to win."

Shen Qing expressed it more briefly, but more ambitiously: "I want to win a Grand Slam this year."

This sentence is very powerful, and soon became the "new bible" of the forum.

At the same time, QTG, which was eliminated from the competition, recently started broadcasting supplementary time with all members. 3you faced the many rhythms of the barrage, and he didn't know whether it was a temporary breakdown or acting poorly. He said that he recently "had the idea of ​​​​retiring".

There are mixed opinions on the matter on the forum.

Some people think that it is too much for old players to be forced to retire by public opinion without evidence.Some people also believe that he has a problem with his character. The joke is that he is afraid of seeing Coach Shen's "family".Some people speculated that he had been dug out because of something, and Shen Qing's public diss made him panic.

However, 3you's words are really too emotional, and it always looks a little fake.In addition, someone discovered that the latest contract library shows that 3you's contract is signed until November next year, and it is a bit unlikely that he wants to retire now.

Therefore, there are many voices saying that he is a fake retired blogger.

It didn't take long for someone to cut this sentence from 3you's live broadcast, which was "weeping like complaining, begging for perfection", and compare it with Shen Qing's "New Bible" in the pre-match video.

Although this is a bit embarrassing, but due to the full force of the ridicule, this comparison video exploded all of a sudden.

The most classic comment said that Shen Qing has lost in the S competition for so many years, but he still wants to pursue the Grand Slam. 3you is praised as a "veteran spark" every day, but in the live broadcast, he pretends to "fake retirement" .

However, these voices had very little impact on the Eagles. Shen Qing presciently asked all the players to hand in their mobile phones. At the same time, due to the heavy training volume recently, the game was resumed immediately after the training match, and the players paid a lot of attention to online comments. few.

They practiced all day in the training room until late at night.

In the training room at 2 o'clock in the morning, Shen Qing had just finished replaying a wonderful match. The players hadn't returned to the room to rest, but exchanged more ideas about the game in a few words.

Zhou Chenshan's call came in.

"busy?"

Little F was the closest to Shen Qing, and when she heard President Zhou's voice on the other end of the phone, she snickered and looked at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing pretended to punch him, then went out to answer the phone.

"Just resumed."

Zhou Chenshan said with a smile: "I just got off work too, and I'll be driving to your place soon."

Shen Qing raised the curtain and looked out the window, the villas were quiet and dark at night, and there were no vehicles passing by on the road.He originally wanted to tell Zhou Chenshan not to come, but when the words came to his lips, he turned into an "oh".

"How are they playing?"

Shen Qing was in a good mood, put down the curtains, and smiled: "It's okay."

"What are you practicing today?"

"Everything else is pretty much the same, and there are very few mistakes in the details in the last two days. I let them mainly practice the coordination of different heroes in the lineup. I practiced for a day today, and practiced two more tomorrow afternoon. It's almost the same."

"Oh~ what time do you leave tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, we will be there at 3:[-] to prepare, one hour earlier than usual... Do you want to come with us?"

Zhou Chenshan seemed to smile: "I bought a ticket and entered through the audience entrance."

"Why did you go to the auditorium?" Shen Qing couldn't help asking.

The last time Zhou Chenshan bought a ticket and sat down to watch, he wanted to ask.He is the sponsor of the team, and it is justifiable to enter the backstage.

Zhou Chenshan said: "I also want to experience the feeling of being a spectator. Watching you play games among a group of people, the atmosphere is very good."

"Then we can watch together in the background..."

Shen Qing was halfway through speaking, but suddenly realized, and stopped talking in embarrassment.

But Zhou Chenshan had already heard what he meant, and confirmed with him with a smile: "Do you want me to watch it with you?"

Shen Qing faltered, only saying that he could see more clearly from the background.

"Okay, I'm here, first open the door for me."

Shen Qing hurriedly kicked on her slippers and went to open the door.

"Are you still here so late?"

Zhou Chenshan walked in with a cool look: "The final is coming, come and have a look. Are you nervous?"

"It's okay. Are you going back later today? You can sleep in the empty bed for one night, and we will go directly on our bus tomorrow." Shen Qing helped Zhou Chenshan put the briefcase in his room.

Each room in the base has two beds, and there is another bed in Shen Qing's room that is vacant.

Zhou Chenshan said: "Okay."

At this time, the players were still discussing their ideas. Shen Qing saw that they didn't plan to end for a while, so she asked Zhou Chenshan to wash up first, and rummaged through boxes and boxes to find a set of the largest team uniform from the partner in the warehouse for him to sleep in. robe.

After finishing packing, the two sat on their respective beds and chatted.

"Not sleepy yet?" Zhou Chenshan asked.

Shen Qing shook her head: "I can't sleep well before the finals."

"That's not stressful, is it?"

"It's really not... It should be excitement. I was too focused during the preparations before the game. In addition, the fight will start tomorrow, so I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Then won't you be sleepy tomorrow?"

"No, this is just right, just survive tomorrow's game."

Zhou Chenshan frowned slightly, and didn't agree with Shen Qing's way of preparing for the battle that hurt his body, but he guessed that even if Shen Qing was lying on the bed at this moment, it would be difficult to fall asleep, so he didn't say much.

Shen Qing leaned her head against the cold wall, enjoying the quiet and relaxed state at this moment.

Zhou Chenshan didn't speak, and didn't even intend to take out his laptop to continue his unfinished work, but just sat beside Shen Qing for a long time.

For a long time, Zhou Chenshan thought that Shen Qing had fallen asleep, but when he looked carefully, he still found that his eyes were open energetically, focused on a certain corner, and he seemed to be still thinking about tomorrow's game.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Chenshan took a short nap and woke up to find that there was an extra blanket on his body.

Shen Qing changed places and sat on the only single sofa in the room, with her legs resting high on the wall, but her body slid to a very low position.

This posture was uncomfortable to look at, but Shen Qing didn't move.

He was flipping through his phone, watching the summary video of the Spring Split released by Team AT 2 months ago.

Zhou Chenshan stood up to exercise his muscles and bones. Because his posture was not good when he fell asleep, now he felt that his bones were about to be torn apart. It was really hard to imagine how Shen Qing survived every night before the finals.

He walked over, met Shen Qing's gaze looking back at him, his voice was a little hoarse: "Study your opponent?"

Shen Qing gave a vague "hmm", put down Lao Gao's legs, and stood up.

"what time is it?"

Shen Qing glanced at the phone: "It's a little past 5 o'clock, and my aunt will come to clean soon."

"Is everyone else asleep?"

"Pan Luping is still playing ranked."

Zhou Chenshan was taken aback: "Huh?"

"He has been like this before playing big games. He doesn't go to bed until the morning, and he gets up in the afternoon to practice two rounds and go straight to the game."

Zhou Chenshan shook his head: "This kind of work and rest of yours is really too bad."

Shen Qing was a little curious: "Then you won't be unable to sleep before important events? For example... new product launches and the like?"

When Zhou Chenshan talked about his career, he seemed brisk and confident: "Our business pays attention to full confidence before acting, so before the official press conference, we can almost predict the scale of the day, the follow-up influence, and the results obtained, so "Maybe not that much excitement."

He's lost sleep over a big event, too, but that was many years ago.

Shen Qing asked: "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"I came to accompany you, but it's not good to sleep here by myself."

"It's okay, I also want to look at the notes again, looking for loopholes, you go to sleep."

"No, I'm awake too." Zhou Chenshan said, took his briefcase, and took out the report and computer inside.

The two quickly began to immerse themselves in their work, and there was a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere in the room.

Slowly, there were some sounds outside.

First, the base aunt came to do the cleaning, and then Pan Luping went upstairs to sleep.

Then, people who go to work and school outside the window pass by in twos and threes, with laughter, complaints, and hurried footsteps.

After 8:[-], these voices gradually decreased, and the villas returned to tranquility.

Near noon, the contestants got up one after another.

Shen Qing also went out with Zhou Chenshan to have lunch.

Seeing the gold master's father come out of the coach's room, a group of brats who were as big as little brats started booing and yelling in a drawn-out tone, as if they were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Shen Qing's ears turned red in embarrassment, and she gave everyone a sharp look, ignoring them.

Zhou Chenshan sat down at the table with a smile and said nothing.

After the meal, the players played 2 or 3 ranks in the base. Xiao F also played 2 solo games with Shen Qing, but was pressed to the ground by Shen Qing who hadn't closed his eyes all night.

"Coach—why did you hit people like this before the final?" Little F was still screaming in the car after losing.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, that jungler from AT couldn't beat me before, and you are a little more resistant than him."

This is true, AT's current jungler Apple's previous team was brought up by Shen Qing, and he often competed with the players at that time, and Apple lost more than it won.

A group of people laughed and came to the outside of the competition venue by bus.

There was already a group of loyal fans waiting at the door, and when they saw them get off the car, they started holding up banners and shouting their names excitedly, shouting "Come on" loudly.

There was an old man holding his daughter on his shoulders. The little girl was wearing a beautiful gauze skirt, braided with double ponytails, and holding a lighted ball in her small hands.This ball is made of "Baopin", with a light bulb inside, which reflects Eagle's iconic eagle.A small screen was stuck on the surface of the ball, and the words "Hawks, come on!" scrolled and flashed, which was quite cool.

Eagles owner Zhang Renmin saw this old man and greeted him affectionately.

"I'm an old fan, I've been here since the year the team was founded." He introduced.

Zhou Chenshan looked at the long line of fans with a smile, that kind of love and support, even under the hot sun, made people feel excited.

The players also greeted the fans, greeted the passers-by who called their names, put down harsh words to the media cameras, and saw the professional players who came to watch the game "gank" each other.

Then there is the tedious pre-match preparation.

Makeup, rehearsals, debugging... The sense of unknown about the ending brings the most powerful anxiety at this time.

Shen Qing also returned to the state before each final.Excessive excitement, torment, suffocation... luckily he wasn't alone this time.

"Aren't you going to check the ticket?" Shen Qing heard her own voice, it was very tense, and the end of the voice was a little trembling.

But this is off the court, and the players are not around.He will be able to recover before going on stage.

"Didn't you let me watch it together?" Zhou Chenshan smiled and asked in a calm voice.

Shen Qing turned her head to look at the competition stage, but did not speak.

Afterwards, the S15 summer championship match between AT and Eagle officially started, and all irrelevant emotions died down briefly and retreated behind the scenes.
