Taking away the two most valuable personal awards, MVP and Best Newcomer, this year's Blue Rain can be said to have reached the pinnacle of glory.

During the interview, Yu Wenzhou smiled and highly praised the opponents in the final, Tiny Herb, and called them the most important opponents. Excellent performance.

Huang Shaotian is very powerful, but Zhou Zekai is no worse than him, even stronger; the difference between Blue Rain and Samsara is that...

Jiang Botao looked at Yu Wenzhou on the TV screen, and felt a little anxious: Must, become stronger as soon as possible.In order not to become a burden to Zhou Zekai, and even to support him in turn, no matter whether he or Samsara, he needs to go up to a higher level as soon as possible.

During that summer break, Jiang Botao did not go home, but stayed in the club dormitory, watching the games of the major teams one after another, thinking about the tactical considerations hidden behind the actions of the characters by team and profession, and looking for lessons that can be used for reference or that need to be avoided. thing.

Team Samsara's vice-captain likes to say, "A game is full of countless chances"; and the so-called tactics are to make as many chances as possible and become inevitable for one's own side.

Zhou Zekai had already gone home, and learned from the phone that Jiang Botao was going to stay in the club for the summer break, so he hurried over from home that day.In July, the city of S is so hot that you can fry eggs on the ground. When he returned to the dormitory, his whole body was as if he had been scooped out of water. His fair face was a little red from running or sun drying. His hair was completely soaked, and sweat flowed from his forehead down his hair to his neck, and then slipped into his collar.

Looking at Jiang Botao, looking at the paused video of the Glory game on the computer screen, and then looking at the notebook that was spread out on the table, where he was obviously supplementing records, Zhou Zekai felt his eyes were a little hot, and his chest was filled with a strange hotness. He couldn't tell. So, I had to reach out and hug him tightly.No matter how good-looking a person is, if he pounces on him covered in sweat, the smell and touch will still be unsatisfactory; Jiang Botao just gently hugged his team leader back, receiving the pure emotion flowing from the other party, and laughed silently.

For a whole summer, the captains and vice-captains of the Samsara team stayed in the dormitory like this, watching games, discussing tactics, playing in the arena, and when they were in a good mood, they would play a trumpet together to participate in the activities of the Samsara union.Of course, some nights and even days, when they found some kind of heat in each other's breath, they would, like any lover, do things that they would only do with each other.

Every day's life is so simple: play the favorite Glory with the person I like the most, until the sound of cicadas gradually disappears, and the staff and other players return to the dormitory one by one after the summer break.

In the seventh season, Team Samsara ushered in a new member—Assassin player Wu Qi.The team entered the playoffs smoothly, and finally broke through the curse of stopping in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years and advanced to the second round.

According to the schedule, Samsara had to enter the finals before he could fight against Blue Rain again.When Zhou Zekai learned of this, he felt a little lost for a moment, but then he became even more uplifted.Seeing his unspoken fiery fighting spirit, Jiang Botao couldn't help but look forward to it—looking forward to reaching the finals and fighting again with the first guide in the history of Glory to win the championship trophy.

In the second round of the playoffs, Team Samsara's opponent was the previous runner-up Team Tiny Herb.

This team has Fang Shiqian, the God of Healing, and his operations in both the Priest and Guardian Envoy are god-level. Therefore, which healer he chooses to play often indicates the strategy Tiny Herb will adopt in the battle.

Fangfeng, the guardian envoy Fangfeng is playing.

Seeing the healing profession chosen by the other party, Jiang Botao's heart sank.Samsara is an attacking team with distinct characteristics, and the main firepower to launch the attack is of course Zhou Zekai's sharpshooter Cloud Piercer.Compared with mechanics, ammunition experts, and gunners who are also gunners, sharpshooter is a profession with an unusually simple attack style: there are not many versatile weapons, and there are not many skills that can give abnormal status. Focus on using pistols And the bullets tear through the enemy's defenses.The guardian messenger is wearing plate armor, and has a natural high defense against physical attacks such as bullets, plus a variety of defense or life recovery skills... As a treatment, it can be called the natural enemy of sharpshooters.

What's more, the operator of Fangfeng is Fang Shiqian.This player is good at finding the best balance between offense and defense. He is known as an existence beyond healing. It will be a very difficult task to kill him or other Tiny Herb players from him. .

When the battle started, Zhou Zekai rushed forward without hesitation, and the other players of Team Samsara followed, trying to divide Tiny Herb's crowd; There is an echo, keeping a distance that can appear within the coordination range within a few seconds.

There was no climax in the audience, and the battle was stalemate.Both sides played their own way, causing damage and accumulating advantages.Samsara didn't make any obvious mistakes in the whole match, but the battle situation was still quietly tilting towards Tiny Herb.

This kind of stable fighting was what Jiang Botao was best at, but even though he did everything he could think of to be impeccable, he still couldn't shake the opponent's meticulous defense.There was no opportunity to launch an effective focus, and there was no particularly clear match point that would affect the outcome. The young Samsara team was wiped out bit by bit.

Standing at the end was Wang Jiexi and his Tiny Herb team.

In the second game, the venue was changed, and the situation did not change.

In the end, Samsara lost to Tiny Herb and ended up in the second round of the playoffs—or, to put it mildly, reached the semifinals and entered the top four.

At the end of the match, there was also the result of another semi-final that was going on at the same time: Team Blue Rain lost to Team Hundred Blossoms and missed the final.

Team Hundred Blossoms is a well-established and famous team, but including the core player Zhang Jiale, the whole team is ordinary people; and such a team unexpectedly broke out and defeated the previous champion, Lan Yu - it is unbelievable.

After watching the video of the game, everyone felt that this was not very strange.Dazzling Hundred Blossoms on the field was simply insane. The famous Hundred Blossoms style of play interfered with Soksar's line of sight at critical moments, seriously affecting Team Blue Rain's proud defense and counterattack tactics.Newcomer Tang Hao's rogue DeLillo caught the gap and rushed out from the smoke screen, avoiding the confrontation with Troubling Night Rain, and raided Soksar, and succeeded in one blow.Suddenly losing the field controller and team command, even Huang Shaotian was powerless to save the defeat.Although he seized the opportunity to kill DeLillo, Team Blue Rain fell under the Hundred Blossoms barrage.

Zhou Zekai stared blankly at the last Troubled Rain on the TV screen, he couldn't accept that the sentinel who had defeated him was defeated by ordinary people like this.Jiang Botao patted him on the shoulder, feeling a little sad for Lan Yu's defeat, but feeling indescribably excited because of Baihua's victory.

Anything is possible—this is the first time since he entered the league that he has seen a team of all-ordinary people make it to the finals.

If last year's Blue Rain's guide captain raised the trophy, it was inextricably related to Huang Shaotian, a powerful sentinel; then, Zhang Jiale, who was fighting against the sentinel this year, told everyone the fact that glory never It's just entertainment for the Sentinels, and it's a real arena that belongs to everyone.

Zhang Jiale and Team Hundred Blossoms wrote the legend of this early summer; Team Tiny Herb's magician won the trophy again.At the post-match press conference, Fang Shiqian announced his retirement: "I have no regrets." This player who has played for Tiny Herb for many years and is known as the "God of Healing" bid farewell to the arena with a smile and the honor of winning twice .

No regrets.

The Samsara people in front of the TV screen exchanged glances in unison.The careers of e-sports players are so short. Although they are still young, if they want to say these words with a smile when they retire, they cannot be satisfied with the level of improvement of "playing one more round than last season".

They met Blue Rain in the first round of Season [-], and lost to Tiny Herb in the semifinals of Season [-]. For two consecutive years, Samsara lost to the champion team of that season.

"If we met Hundred Blossoms in the semi-finals, we might have won." Du Ming still had that blunt temper, "Why do we always meet the champion team..."

"If you don't want to meet the champion team so much, there is actually a way." Jiang Botao said with a smile, "It's very simple, we - become the champion."

This summer break, the head and deputy captains of Team Samsara are still staying in the dormitory.The difference from last year is that this year is no longer their two-person world, and all Samsara players take the initiative to stay.

When the club manager heard about this, he came over to enlighten him: "Games and training can be done at any time. During the holidays, you should play around and do something you want!"

"Thank you, manager," Jiang Botao has long been used to speaking on behalf of the players, "But what we want to do now is to play Glory better."

Except for Fang Minghua who is married, this group of young people all live in the dormitory. In addition to systematic training and tactical seminars, they also play passerby games, play PK, and often have dinner together.The whole team was pulled out, a group of young people were talking nonsense, and when they started fighting, it really turned the world upside down.

Sometimes Jiang Botao was afraid that everyone would be too disturbing, so he would try to persuade them in a joking tone; Zhou Zekai never interrupted, just listening, watching, laughing, and thinking.At this time, the magic swordsman can always find a reason and throw a question to prevent the gun king from wandering out of the team dialogue due to silence.Although Zhou Zekai often thinks for a long time before sorting out the answers, usually
