All-Round Mid Laner

The S10 World Series will officially start on December 12.

12月8~9号是联盟规定的报道时间,华国区晋级的4支队伍，在9号下午一起去官方指定的酒店办理了入住，这次比赛依旧在首尔电竞中心举办,接待各国选手的酒店和上次世界个人赛一样。

Players in Huaguo District are arranged on the 22nd floor of Building A.

The rooms of Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo are just on the other side of the corner.The teammates swiped their cards to enter the door, and the two walked forward with their luggage shoulder to shoulder. Chi Shuo stopped at the door of Room 2219, checked the door cards with his head down, and said, "I'm here."

Ye Shaoyang looked at the familiar house number and asked in surprise, "Isn't this the room I stayed in last time?"

Thinking of what happened in this room, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Ye Shaoyang discussed tactics with Chi Shuo in this room during the last individual competition, and also kissed Chi Shuo intimately here, helping Chi Shuo through the susceptible period.

It was the first kiss between the two of them, and it is still fresh in my memory.

Thinking of the scene of being pressed against the wall by Chi Shuo and forced to kiss him, Ye Shaoyang's ears couldn't help but feel hot.It's all my fault that I don't know enough about Alpha's susceptibility period, I thought it was enough to bite the neck like the temporary mark before, but I didn't expect to be kissed.

Not to mention that Chi Shuo would confess his love after the kiss.

Ye Shaoyang didn't hate it anyway, so he simply agreed.

Now revisiting the old place as a couple, Ye Shaoyang found that his original choice was right.

After agreeing to be Chi Shuo's boyfriend, there is no quarrel between the two of them, and the understanding is more tacit than before.They have common goals, and they want to achieve them together with their loved ones.

Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang with gentle eyes. He lightly held Ye Shaoyang's hand on the back of the suitcase, and said, "You lived here last time, but this time it's me. This is also a kind of fate."

Ye Shaoyang said: "Perhaps this room will bring us good luck again?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and squeezed each other's fingers intimately.Take out the key cards and swipe the cards to enter the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Tang Can post a message in the Tianhuan group: "The alliance announced that there will be a buffet from 7:12 am to 1:2 am during the game; 5-7:[-] noon is the official lunch time, and [-]-[-]:[-] pm is the official lunch time. Dinner time. Due to the different schedules of players from different countries, please bring your key cards and go to the restaurant to eat according to your own schedule."

Coach Lin reminded: "Pay attention to discipline when going out for games, and you cannot leave the team without permission. After the grouping situation comes out, I will inform everyone of the next training arrangement as soon as possible."

Everyone swiped the screen one after another: "Received."

There are a total of 16 promotion places in the God of War World Series. Because South Korea won the world championship last year, 3 teams have qualified for promotion.Huaguo originally had two teams, but Moon Shadow and Jingzhe qualified from the wild card division.The team of the Huaguo District delegation this year is very spectacular, and Qiu Heng, the chairman of the alliance, also accompanied the team in person.

But the domestic black fans are right. E-sports is not a sport that can be won by a large number of people. If 4 teams go to the world championship, if they fail to win the championship in the end, they will suffer more stigma than any previous season. Be intense.

Moon Shadow and Jingzhe came from the wild card division. Even if they can't win the championship, domestic fans won't say they are "the most important thing is to participate", they have already worked very hard.But Tianhuan is different. As the champion of Huaguo District Professional League, Tianhuan has carried the hopes of too many people, and the pressure is also the greatest.

Coach Lin was worried about the nervousness of the players, so he sent out red envelopes in the group: "I will give out 66 small red envelopes, and everyone will grab them quickly. I hope the next game will go smoothly!"

66 red envelopes popped up one after another, and there was a rain of red envelopes in the Tianhuan Group, and everyone rushed to grab the red envelopes, which dilutes the tense atmosphere before the game.

That afternoon, the game schedule came down, and Coach Lin posted a screenshot in the Tianhuan group.

Group A, Huaguo BM, American FNO, Korean TOC, African ZZC;

Group B, Huaguo JZ, American FLD, European AMT, Korean TIP;

Group C, Hua Guo TH, Japan GOW, Africa YNF, Mexico GXC;

Group D, Huaguo YY, Korea ATB, Europe HER, Japan MOK;

When Cheng Xing saw these letters, his eyes were almost dizzy, and he sent a headache emoji in the group.

Coach Lin marked the three teams in red, and explained: "North American champion FNO, South Korean champion ATB, European champion AMT and Huaguo champion Tianhuan are in four groups, and they will not meet strong opponents in the group stage. Moreover, For the teams in Group C, apart from the strong Japanese GOW, the rest of the teams from Africa and Mexico are very weak, so the result of the draw is very beneficial to us."

Qu Jiang asked: "After the group stage, 8 will advance to the 4th stage, which group will we play in?"

Coach Lin sent out a match schedule: "The first team in Group C will play the second team in Group D, and the second team in Group C will play the first team in Group D."

Everyone carefully studied the match list, and after studying for a long time, they still had no clue.After all, now everyone does not know which teams will be left after the 16 teams go through the group round robin.

Ye Shaoyang said: "No matter what else, let's try to get No.1 in Group C."

Coach Lin smiled and said, "Yang Yang summed it up quite right. Tonight at 6:7, go to the downstairs restaurant for dinner on time. Starting at 4:[-], our [-] teams from the Huaguo District will practice their tactics in wheel battles."

Everyone acted quickly, packed the luggage they had brought over, and went downstairs for dinner.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, in order to avoid leaking tactics, everyone logged into the game with their laptops.After all, if you are unfamiliar with the place of life in a foreign country, if you go to an Internet cafe or the like, if the built-in surveillance of the other party's computer captures the content of their training, it will be troublesome.

In foreign countries, the heart of defense is indispensable.

The operator of Huaguo "God of War" opened a server for them alone for training. The players turned on their own computers in their respective rooms on time and logged in to the domestic server.

In the first round, Tianhuan played against Yueying, and Beimu played against Jingzhe; in the second round, Tianhuan played against Jingzhe, and Beimu fought against Yueying... Such frequent round-robin battles tested the psychological quality of the players.

What's more, they are facing top domestic experts.

In normal times, I can't even imagine that Tianhuan can play against so many strong teams on the same day?

But at Worlds, this has become commonplace.

The training lasted until 12 o'clock in the evening, and each of the 4 teams won or lost.

Even if Tianhuan is the champion of the domestic league, they can't guarantee that they will win every game against teams like Beimu, Jingzhe, and Moon Shadow. They have played 3 games and lost 1 game. The winning rate is about 70%, which is already very good.

The coaches of each team began to review the game, and the review did not let everyone go to sleep until 2 o'clock in the morning.

The next morning, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo got up early to eat. Except for the jet-lagged European and American players, the Asian players were still sleeping at this time.Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo seemed out of place among a group of European and American players.

The two looked at each other, and sat by the window calmly holding the dinner plate.

While eating, suddenly a handsome guy with short hair and blue eyes came towards them and greeted Ye Shaoyang in broken Chinese: "Lieyang, long time no see."

Ye Shaoyang raised his head, suppressed a smile and said, "Mitchell, why did you cut your hair?"

Mitchell scratched his head: "Zhou Zhou said, my hair looks like a teddy dog."

Ye Shaoyang: "..."

Team Zhou is too straightforward, right?Although Ye Shaoyang also thought so.

Mitchell asked eagerly, "Isn't it much more handsome after cutting it off?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "Cough, I'm much more energetic."

Mitchell was obviously very happy, and looked at Ye Shaoyang with a smile: "I will definitely be able to kill you this time."

Ye Shaoyang kindly reminded: "We are not in the same group."

Mitchell said seriously: "Then kill you when we meet in the knockout round!"

Ye Shaoyang looked down at the breakfast on his plate, and said helplessly, "Let's eat first."

This guy has been thinking about killing Ye Shaoyang for a year, and he has not achieved his goal so far.According to Team Zhou, in the international server that year, after Team Zhou solo killed Mitchell once, Mitchell chased and PKed him for several months, and finally stopped until he killed Zhou Jiawen three times in a row.

What a persistent little lunatic.

Ye Shaoyang looked at his back as he turned and left, and couldn't help laughing: "Mitchell's personality is indeed like a teddy dog ​​in combat mode. Does he really not consider changing to a warrior?"

Chi Shuo said indifferently: "Battle mage, it can be considered his personal style."

After a while, another person walked towards them, a big blonde beauty.

Ye Shaoyang remembered her, Vanessa, the female A player she had seen in the world individual competition, the jungler of the European division champion team AMT, and the winner of this year's MVP award in the European division, a very talented newcomer.

She won the MVP in the first year of her debut. Her legendary experience is the same as Miss Zhao Xinping of the Beimu team.

Vanessa stopped in front of the two, smiled and said, "Sun, Moon, how are you?"

Ye Shaoyang said politely: "Hello."

Vanessa said: "It's a pity not to be in the same group. I wish you good luck and advance to the next round."

She spoke English. Ye Shaoyang often participated in the world competitions in his previous life, so he could understand daily English conversations. He nodded to her and said, "Thank you, and I wish you all good luck."

After Vanessa left, Chi Shuo leaned into Ye Shaoyang's ear and said, "You are the champion of the world individual competition, and you will become the focus of attention wherever you go. Tianhuan will also be the focus of attention of the coaches of the major teams in the next competition." There is no need to expose the many tricks that we have practiced in private."

Ye Shaoyang nodded in agreement: "Well, the group stage is played normally, let's talk about the knockout stage."

On August 12, the group stage officially began.

Each group will conduct a round-robin match within the group, BO3 competition system, global BP, and the top two in points will advance to the quarterfinals of the World Championship, and then compete with other teams in the knockout rounds until the champion is determined.

When it comes to the world stage, the teams that can come to this arena are all the top teams in each competition area. Therefore, the official will not ignore the group stage. Every game will be staggered and broadcast live globally.

On the first day, the match of South Korea's ATB team, the most promising team in this World Championship, was scheduled for prime time, at 7 pm.The game time of other teams is staggered with each other. Tianhuan vs. Mexico GXC match is scheduled at 2 pm.

The ratings during this time period were not high, and there were not many spectators at the game site.

Instead, domestic netizens set their alarm clocks and opened the live broadcast room to watch the first match of the Tianhuan World Championship.

Mexico's GXC team is a team that qualified from the Latin American division. The e-sports strength in the entire division is not strong, and the tactical thinking is not so innovative. Tianhuan played GXC smoothly, and quickly won the first game in less than 20 minutes.

In the second game, GXC changed the lineup and frantically targeted Tianhuan's jungler.But I didn't expect Chi Shuo to choose a tool man to protect Ye Shaoyang's development, let Ye Shaoyang beat the opponent's middle lane with rhythm, and push down the middle tower as quickly as possible.

Tianhuan still won the game in 20 minutes.

Domestic audiences were stunned.

Watching Tianhuan's games before, one game often lasted to 30 minutes. Today, two games were played in 40 minutes, and everyone didn't react.

[It's a little easy to win, right? 】

[It feels like the big devil is beating Xiaomengxin? 】

[After all, the Latin American league has only started in recent years. The players and coaching staff are not as professional as ours. There is no need to be too happy to win the weakest team in Group C]

【They don't seem to know much about Tianhuan】

[This grouping is more favorable for Tianhuan. The opponents in the group stage are not very strong. There is no champion team from other divisions. Tianhuan must have no problem qualifying! 】

The grouping was done by the "God of War" World Alliance under the supervision of a notary, and the computer lottery, there is no possibility of black box operation.It's just that the teams from the same country will be divided into different groups first, and then randomly drawn by the exclusion method. The rules are the same every year.

The luck factor will naturally also affect the fate of a team. Tianhuan's luck in the group stage was good, and Ye Shaoyang could already guess what the Korean media said—it was luck to qualify.

But what about after the group qualifying?

8 into 4, 4 into 2, every game is a knockout match, can you always win by luck?

The team that finally wins the championship must be the strongest.

On the first day of the game, the Mexican team was defeated by 2:0, which was just an appetizer for Tianhuan.They will use the follow-up games to prove their strength and shut up all the media who questioned them.
