All-Round Mid Laner

When Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo returned to the club after discussing the live broadcast contract, it was already December 12th.

The World Series has reached the knockout stage of eight to four.

The Jingzhe team will face the ATB team in the Korean division on the 16th. This team is the champion team in the Korean division. It has not lost even a single game in the group stage of the World Championships.

Ice Soul will face off against the FLD team in the North American Division on the 17th. FLD was the defending champion of last year's World Series and the team with the strongest overall strength in the North American Division.

The prospects for both teams are not optimistic.

When domestic fans saw this matchup schedule, it was like a cloud over their heads. Some fans didn't even dare to watch the live broadcast of the game, for fear that their favorite team would lose to a foreign team.

The host city of this year's World Series is Paris, which has a 7-hour time difference with China.

December 12th, Paris time 16:19 pm, China time 2:[-] am.

The game between Jingzhe and ATB officially started, Coach Lin organized the team members to watch it on the big screen in the meeting room.

Qin Yizhu generously shared his snacks. The table was filled with walnut kernels, peanut melon seeds, and various biscuits and chips. Ye Shaoyang also brought the little white cat over, and everyone watched the game while petting the cat.

World Series 8 into 4 knockout rounds, using the global BP, BO5 competition system.

In the first two rounds, the two sides tied 1:1.

In the third round, ATB relied on a novel lineup to win; in the fourth round, Jing Zhe played steadily and regained the situation.

In the crucial decisive game, Jingzhe had a certain advantage in the opening game. Fang Zhengqing went to the bottom lane and cooperated with Xie Yuan to beat ATB's shooter. However, in the middle of the game, ATB began to avoid battles, operate, and snowball. Never pulled away.

In the critical wave of team battles, ATB's jungler found an opportunity to go around the back and beat the shooter Xie Yuan who was stunned, and pushed off the high ground on the bottom lane.

Jing Zhe guarded the high ground for 5 minutes, but the army line was too disadvantaged.Although Fang Zhengqing and Xie Yuan teamed up to repel the ATB's offensive three times, in the end, Jingzhe lost the game helplessly under the push of the opponent with the big dragon BUFF.

Watching the scene of the crystal shattering, the conference room fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Coach Lin sighed softly, and murmured: "The South Korean team's management is really amazing. It's a pity that Jingzhe lost this game. They had a small advantage in the early stage, but it's a pity that they didn't end the game quickly."

Chi Shuo said: "The South Korean competition area is very good at operations and snowballing. Even if you kill them a few times in the early stage and win the head, but before you know it, their economy will catch up quickly."

This is somewhat similar to the Korean team that Ye Shaoyang met in his previous life.It is obvious that the head ratio exceeds the opponent, and they have killed the opponent home several times, but for some reason, the Korean team's economy can be stabilized. Every time they play against the Korean team, they will feel particularly difficult, and the bottom of their heart will rise. Nowhere to do" kind of exhaustion.

In the late stage, it is very difficult to beat the South Korean team. The resilience of their professional players is terrible.

Jing Zhe actually played very well in the game just now, and it was indeed a pity to lose in the end.But there is no way. The teams from other divisions in the World Series are also very strong, and the competition sometimes depends on some luck.

Ye Shaoyang sighed softly in his heart, and looked at Coach Lin: "There is only the Ice Soul team left in the Huaguo District. Is there any hope of winning the championship?"

Coach Lin shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't think so."

Cheng Xing asked in a low voice: "Isn't Ice Soul's team battle very strong?"

Coach Lin said: "Five people are very strong in a group, but if the opponent doesn't let you form a group, will they destroy you in the early stage?"

Chi Shuo also said: "Ice Soul can reach the top four at most, and it will be difficult to go further."

Ye Shaoyang looked at the schedule: "If Ice Soul wins the FLD team in North America in eight rounds, in the next round of semi-finals, we will meet the ATB team that eliminated Jingzhe, right?"

Lin Feng nodded and said: "ATB, taken from the abbreviation of Atomic Bomb, this team is also a combination of midfield and jungle. The mid laner Park Won-seok is the number one mid laner in the Korean division, and the jungler Cui Hyuk has a style similar to Chi Shuo. It is very strong, and it can operate calmly even in headwinds, and it is a very comprehensive team."

Ye Shaoyang memorized these two names, Park Won-seok and Cui Hyuk, the strongest midfield combination in the South Korean division.If Tianhuan makes it to the World Series, this team with a style similar to theirs will become one of the hardest nuts to crack.

On the morning of December 12, news of Jingzhe's defeat reached the country.

Many die-hard fans of Jing Zhe stayed up late to watch the game last night, their eyes were red from crying, and they all ran to the official blog to leave messages to encourage the players and let them continue next season.There are also some black fans who went to the official blog to curse people.

The club's official blog also said some scenes about the hard-working players who will continue to work hard next season.

Everyone in the Huaguo District focused their attention on the Ice Soul team, and Chen Qianhua's pressure can be imagined.

On the evening of the 17th.

Chen Qianhua was taking his teammates to eat when his phone vibrated continuously and received several messages——

Xu Zhuo: "Cheer up, Xiao Chen. Whether we win or lose, you are our best support!"

Chi Shuo: "Relax and play, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Fang Zhengqing: "It's been a long time since we got together, let's have a meal together when we return home after the game."

Xie Yuan: "Team Fang is too lazy to scan the QR code, how about letting Team Chi pay the bill?"

Xu Zhuo: "It's true that Chi Shuo should pay the bill. Tianhuan has an Omega, Chi Shuo please have a meal to celebrate!"

Chi Shuo: "??"

Fang Zhengqing: "Agreed."

Xie Yuan: "Agree +1"

Chen Qianhua raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and typed smoothly: "Agree+2"

These news come from a private group called [Star City Rookie Concentration Camp]. There are only 5 people in the group. This group was established five years ago, and they were indeed rookies at that time.

The five met when they were teenagers. They were all youth trainees, and they followed the coach to learn game awareness. Occasionally, five people would form a team to play in rankings, and then staged "Chi Shuo and Fang Zhengqing Nakano's journey from the beginning to the end". Without linkage, the top laner Xu Zhuo will go to the end alone, and the bottom lane Chen Qianhua and Xie Yuan will die and give away".

After the fight, they complained to each other.

Chi Shuo and Fang Zhengqing had completely different understandings of the game, but it was difficult to convince each other.

Until the end, they signed to different teams respectively, and this group has not been disbanded.

The pure friendship from childhood continues to this day.Among the 5 of them, 4 became captains. No matter how hard they fought on the field, they were still friends after the fight.

Chi Shuo said, "Do you all go home during the annual leave?"

Xie Yuan: "Of course I have to go home for the New Year, or my dad will break my leg~"

Chen Qianhua: "I should also go back to my hometown."

Fang Zhengqing: "+1"

Chi Shuo: "Okay, I'll invite you to dinner then, and we'll make an appointment at the time and place."

Chi Shuo's hometown is in Xingcheng, and the other four people are all within 5 hours' drive from Xingcheng.

Star City is the largest youth training base in southern China. Teenagers in many surrounding cities who want to play e-sports will go there to test and train.The five of them would have a small gathering every year, and this time it was Chi Shuo's turn to treat them.

Chi Shuo closed the chat window and went to the conference room to watch the game.

The game between Ice Soul and FLD was extremely intense. From the first round, each round would last for more than 40 minutes.Several consecutive bladder rounds will not only test the psychological quality of the players, but also test their physical fitness.

To the surprise of foreign reporters, Binghun, a team without star players, unexpectedly resisted multiple attacks from the North American champion team FLD, and instantly came back in the crucial team battle of the final round!

Ice Soul advances to the semi-finals!

The hanging heart of domestic netizens finally returned to their stomachs.

The Ice Soul team almost disbanded last season. This season, they were able to overcome obstacles all the way to the Huaguo Finals, and even entered the World Series as No.1 in the Huaguo District. This is already their best result in history.

Many people left messages on the Weibo of the Ice Soul team: "Whether you can win the award or not, this season's Ice Soul is very good!" !"

It was unexpected that Binghun could enter the World Series.

On December 12th, Ice Soul met the No. 20 seed ATB in the Korean division in the semifinals and was eliminated 3:1.Domestic netizens have long been mentally prepared, and not many people scold them. Most of them are encouraging. After all, it is really not easy for this team to go from the verge of disbandment to the world arena.

Jingzhe was scolded worse.

Last year's World Championship runner-up, this year only entered the quarterfinals.

However, Fang Zhengqing is such a lazy person, let alone replying to the comments of black fans, he doesn't even bother to go to Weibo.

His Weibo has long been covered with weeds.

The S9 World Series officially came to an end on December 12th, and the final champion was the ATB team from the Korean Division.

The South Korean division won the world championship, which means that next season, the Korean division will have 3 qualifying places for the World Championship.

Huaguo District has had a dismal performance this year, No. 5 in Jingzhe, No. 4 in Ice Soul, and no trophies have been recorded. For netizens who support domestic e-sports events, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow.

There are also a lot of negative comments on the Internet-

[Professional players in the Huaguo District really only know how to play tricks, and if they go to the World Series, they will collectively become grandchildren! 】

[You guys still beat each other honestly in the country, don't go to the international competition to embarrass your father]

[Laughing, Fang Zhengqing's fans are still playing there, if it wasn't for his command error, Jing Zhe would have lost? 】

[How does it feel to be beaten to pieces by foreign players? 】

[Watching you guys play is really funny, why not watch the bronze game]

[ATB's Pu Shencai Shiyi Middle School, any square team, Zhou Zhou, let's all stand on one side! 】

Looking at those comments, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but think of the scene in his previous life, when he lost the World Series finals and was scolded by black fans on the trending searches—every sentence in the comment area was heart-rending, and it was very similar to the abuse on the Internet at this time.

Sure enough, there is no shortage of troll keyboard warriors in any world.

Ye Shaoyang put down his phone, picked up Xiaobai and walked to the balcony.

It happened that there was a heavy snowfall in the capital city last night. This was the first snowfall since the beginning of winter this year. When I woke up in the morning, heavy snow fell outside the window, and the surrounding buildings were already covered by thick snow.

There were few pedestrians on the roads in the suburbs, and the snow scene was not damaged in the slightest.

The whole world is covered in silver, pure white and flawless.

Ye Shaoyang looked at the vast expanse of whiteness outside, and quickly calmed down.

The results of the Huaguo Division this season are not satisfactory, and the situation of next season is not optimistic.He really wants to win the world championship, but whether he can get it depends on some luck.The arena is changing rapidly, and no matter how strong the team is, it may overturn... I can only say, do your best and leave no regrets.

Ye Shaoyang smiled and touched the cat's head in his arms.

Xiaobai looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window curiously, and foolishly stretched out his paws to grab them, but he didn't catch anything, and he continued to grab the air persistently...

When Chi Shuo went out, he saw this scene.

Ye Shaoyang hugged the cat and watched the snow by the window, with a relaxed smile on his face.

His side face is very beautiful, the handsome boy is holding a cute cat, just like a frozen poster.

Chi Shuo couldn't look away for a while.

Ye Shaoyang heard footsteps, turned his head, and asked with a smile, "Morning, Team Chi."

Chi Shuo coughed lightly: "You get up so early?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "I got bored and checked Weibo for a while, and saw those people scolding the professional players in the Huaguo District as rookies. They also said that the master who is usually highly sought after in China becomes a grandson when he goes abroad."

Chi Shuo: "..."

Most players would get angry when they saw this kind of comment. Cheng Xing was so angry that his eyes were red last night, and he almost cursed back in his vest.Ye Shaoyang didn't seem to mind at all.

Chi Shuo said: "If one day our Tianhuan loses the game, you may also be scolded."

Ye Shaoyang said calmly: "It doesn't matter. They scold me, and I won't lose a piece of meat. I know in my heart that I have done nothing wrong and have a clear conscience. There is no need to give those black fans a look."

Have a clear conscience.

Chi Shuo has been the subject of controversy in the past few years. Every time after a game, some people say that he is the peak when he debuts, that he has been going downhill and will only live on his laurels, that he is not as good as Tianhuan's previous generation captain Mingsheng, and that he has surpassed Tianhuan's results. worse and worse……

However, he has done everything he should do.

He also has a clear conscience.

"You're right, don't give them a look." Chi Shuo smiled slightly, walked to Ye Shaoyang's side, and looked out the window: "S9 is completely over, Huaguo District has also seen this in the past few seasons." It’s a low period where you can’t get medals. But I believe, S10 will be different.”

Ye Shaoyang smiled and nodded: "Well, S10 is a new beginning."

Chi Shuo looked at the people beside him, and his eyes couldn't help becoming gentle: "The Chinese New Year is on January 1 this year. I heard the news that the alliance requires all major teams to take annual leave from the 7th to the 6th. Are you going back to Star City for the New Year?"

Ye Shaoyang froze for a moment.

The original owner's parents had passed away, and he didn't have many relatives and friends in this world, only his cousins ​​Qin Yue and Qin Rui were still in contact.Apart from his home in Star City, he has no other place to go.

Ye Shaoyang lowered his head and touched Xiaobai's head, and said, "Well, then I'll go back too."

Chi Shuo said, "I'll book tickets for you, shall we go back together?"

Ye Shaoyang nodded: "Okay."
