Caishen Live Room [E-sports]

This Saturday, the first shot of the challenge was fired.

There are a total of 20 participating teams, divided into two competition areas, namely "Soul Competition Area" and "Shadow Competition Area".

Since BSL's home court is in China, as the host, there are relatively many domestic teams, including Jiri, Hunting Shadow, Usta, and Daladala, and there are 8 teams.The other 12 teams come from the United States, South Korea, Canada, France and Australia, among which the United States and South Korea each have 4 teams.

The soul competition area and the shadow competition area are allocated 10 teams each.

Each game draws lots to determine the game version and related heroes, which not only tests the familiarity with each version of the game, but also tests the player's adaptability.

The top [-] will be selected in the first round, and the final elimination system will be adopted. The two competition areas will start online at the same time.

The score ranking is based on the previous regular season points, and the points of this fun game are superimposed.In this round of competition, the two teams with the lowest points in their respective divisions will be eliminated.

The top eight will be selected in the second round, and the competition will still be online.

The team that ranks first in the points of the two major regions, and the next four teams (regardless of division) will automatically get the quarter-finals.The remaining two seats will be determined by the remaining 4 teams through qualifying playoffs.

The final eight will come to the e-sports stadium in K City to hold official offline competitions and participate in the grand "[-]th Anniversary Celebration".

Ji Zhou and Hunting Shadow are the champions and runners-up of the regular season, their points are very close, and they are both historically strong teams. It seems that the king does not see the king, so they were assigned to the soul competition area and the shadow competition area respectively. They are the top seeds in the two competition areas. .

Ke Zhou and Xiang Tao went to draw lots.

Ji Zhou's first game was against the San Francisco Fireworks, and Hunting Shadow's first game was against the Toronto Jazz.

——The battle for the quarterfinals of the Challenger League kicked off.

For several days, there was no news from Kezhou.

Bo Mingye came to the Extreme Day Club, and after a few rounds of practice with the trainees, he sat in the lounge and watched the BSL live broadcast.

It can't be considered that there is no news. He can still be seen on the screen and in the news, but the private contact is almost zero. It is expected that Xia Shuang has strictly managed their mobile phones and let them concentrate on the game.

Speaking of online competitions, the organizers have very strict requirements on equipment and servers, and they will not let professional players play casually in their own dens. No matter which country or team, they have arranged a special competition venue in advance, and there are referees present .

The match location in City K is on the outskirts of the city. Kezhou and the others have been staying there for the past few days. Apart from the competition, they have to hold meetings to analyze the tactical characteristics of other teams, and do adaptive and targeted training.

Xia Shuang arranged a special car for them to pick up and drop them off, and the self-provided chef provided a rich and nutritious meal, but they still had to go out early and return late every day. All the official and substitute players had tired faces, and they basically fell on the bed when they came back. .

Jiang Daling also went out with the team, leaving only Zuo Zhen and Bo Mingye to guard their hometown.

The battle is raging on smart screens.

People who watch the game are often more nervous and excited than those who play the game.

Seeing that Kezo was in a one-on-two situation, Bo Mingye couldn't help standing up, clenched his fists to cheer him up: "Steady! Keep Kezo! Back to find the terrain, don't let go, wait for a CD! Watch out for the cold arrow from the side! It's beautiful! Well done!"

Kezo completed a wonderful double play.

Zuo Zhen clapped his hands silently.

Bo Mingye: "...Left coach, you make me look very embarrassed."

Then the philosopher [Wagner] took the limit and bought the team the time for the final attack.

This round is won!

Bo Mingye applauded and praised loudly.

Zuo Zhen remained expressionless: "Not bad."

Bo Mingye: "..." After calming down, he straightened the Ji Zhou uniform given to him by Kezhou and said, "I'll go see how the kids are doing."

Then he came to the door of the training room.

The moment he appeared, everyone sat in their seats peacefully, and the computer screen was full of battle scenes, as if everything was normal.But as a coach who has held e-sports training courses for many years, he has already seen from the reflection of the glass wall that they are hurriedly returning to their positions, frantically pressing shortcut keys to restore the embarrassing appearance of the game interface.

Who hasn't experienced this?

It's all people who come here.

With his hands behind his back, Bo Mingye patrolled among them: "You guys are just too young and impatient." When he walked up to Fu Xiaoyu, he patted him on the shoulder and reminded, "I was just stepped on by someone. Is it down to the bottom of the trousers? The color of the underwear is very bright."

Fu Xiaoyu lifted up his pants wanting to cry but without tears.

Everyone stared at the screen intently, pretending to be immersed in the intense training.

Appreciating their looks, Bo Mingye suddenly laughed, clapped his hands, and attracted their attention: "Okay, I think everyone is not efficient at the moment, and they are absent-minded, so it's better not to practice. Stop, get up and follow along." I'm going."

The flower stick asked timidly, "Where are you going?"

Bo Mingye greeted: "Go to the big conference room, everyone will watch the game together, it's lively!"

As soon as the words were finished, cheers of "Oh oh oh!" "Yeah!" "Consultant Bo is the best!" "We love you!"

A group of people were walking towards the door when they suddenly saw Zuo Zhen standing there.

Everyone immediately lowered their heads and became as quiet as chickens.

Zuo Zhen coughed, and told Bo Mingye, "Take the projector." Then he turned and gave way.

The trainees were all happy and crazy, like a group of young lambs, bouncing towards the big conference room.When Bo Mingye arrived with the projector, Zuo Zhen had already put down the curtain and dimmed the lights, just waiting for him to connect.

A group of people gathered here, sometimes howling angrily, sometimes congratulating together, and finally had the atmosphere of watching the game.

The game situation in the extreme day is very good.

Sitting in the last row, Bo Mingye looked at Zuo Zhen beside him, and vaguely felt that he must be smiling.

In the gap between the two rounds, the camera showed each player.

The comment area of ​​the live broadcast room is also displayed.

【Can anyone see what Kezo is wearing on his wrist? 】

[I also noticed that it seems to be a bit reflective and shiny. 】

[Shiny? 】

【This doesn't fit God K's style. 】

[It's not for cheating, is it? 】

【Are you black?What cheating?Are you blind as a referee? 】

[wristband? 】

[I don't think so. 】

Seeing the discussion of the online audience, Ji Zhou's trainees were not surprised: "Isn't it just ice stickers? Coach Jiang bought a lot a few days ago, and they are quite easy to use."

"Well, the captain has been posting frequently recently."

"The captain had cramps in his hands last time, but it made Mr. Xia nervous."

Probably in response to the fan's request, the scene cut to give Kezo a close-up close-up, not to his face, but to his wrist.

It is indeed ice cream.

But there is still writing on it with a blue oil-based pen.

【CS? What does CS mean? 】

【Are you dumb?Counter-Strike ah. 】

[Is Kezo playing Counter-Strike recently?Or is this sticker linked with CS? 】

[The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes...]

Now the trainee is also a little puzzled: "What does this mean?"

"Ever victorious, right? It must mean ever victorious."

"Pfft, what a mess."

"Hahahahaha I didn't expect the captain to believe in metaphysics."

Zuo Zhen glanced lightly at Bo Mingye.

Thin Mingye: "..."

At the same time, a group of people are inhaling oxygen in Chaohua, where the boat is begging for food.

——The family members are still not drinking?

——Eating sugar rationally, I think it is "super god", it means to cheer yourself up.

——I'm sorry, I'm just a CP brain, isn't this the "God of Cooking"!

——Sorry, I thought it was "fuck" (*/ω＼*)

Unsurprisingly, the first round of the competition ended, and the Jiri team ranked first in the Soul Division points list.

The top eight seats are locked in advance.

The subsequent qualifying play-offs have nothing to do with them. After the quarter-finals are determined, players from other countries will have to wait for the entry to play offline games, so this period of time is temporarily vacant.

In view of everyone's good performance this week, Xia Shuang rarely gave them two days off.

Ke Zhou checked the training log before going to bed.

During the game, they often can't remember to send this thing. Even if they do, they just record their tactical experience in a hurry and then close it. They don't have time to check and sort it out.Of course, Jiang Daling wouldn't blame them for this, after all, actual battles are better remembered than these fragmentary words.

Coincidentally, I saw Bo Mingye's diary, and Kezhou stopped.

Training log:

121/1000.

121 wins?So fast?

Although I still don't know why 1000 games are used to count, Kezhou is sincerely happy for him.

He opened the Soul Cleansing app on his phone and took a look. This person's ranking has already been marked with diamonds.

There is also a summary of the battle experience at the bottom of the log, but the last paragraph is something Kezhou can't understand.

I saw him write:

There will come a day when loneliness will wear you down, a day will come when your pride will curl up and your courage will crumble.

One day you'll cry, "I'm so alone!"

There will come a day when you will no longer see your nobility, but be very close to your baseness; and your nobility itself will frighten you like a ghost.

One day you will cry: "It's all unreal!"

-Nietzsche

Ke Zhou: "..." Who is Nietzsche?

This is obviously not Bo Mingye's language style. He guessed it was an excerpt, but he didn't know where it came from, and he didn't know who Nietzsche was.

At this time, he didn't have enough experience to understand the meaning of this passage.

Scrolling down, I saw that teammate Yuan Jianzhi liked this log and wrote a comment:

As the highest wish, there is a pair of Zarathustra's eyes, looking down on all human beings from afar.

It turns out that you also read Nietzsche.

There is a translated version in the club lounge, recommended reading.

Ke Zhou: "..." Who the hell is Nietzsche!what are you guys saying!

He is a little angry now, angry that he didn't read more books, he didn't understand the stalk of "Dream of Red Mansions" last time, and this time he couldn't even understand the diary written by Bo Mingye!

Opening Baidu angrily, Kezhou typed word by word and searched, and finally found the title of the book.Then I ran downstairs to the lounge in the middle of the night, searched for a while, and brought the "Wagner Incident" back to the dormitory.

People still need to read more!

Opening the title page and seeing the publication description, he finally knew who Nietzsche was.

then……

Then he fell asleep with the book spread out over his face, with some saliva on the corners of the pages.

I slept soundly this time, and when I woke up, the sky was bright.

Throwing away the Nietzsche covering his face, Ke Zhou sat up in a daze and scratched his hair.

Suddenly, he stopped moving.

Turning around and picking up the phone to check the time, the whole person suddenly jumped up: "I'm in a hurry! I'm late, I'm late!"

Washing up in a hurry, he solemnly put on the overalls that Su Mingye gave him. He rushed to the trainee dormitory area, picked up a few people and dragged them out: "Hurry up, hurry up! Don't be silly! We'll miss it!"

The few trainees received his notice last night and got up early to wait for him.Obviously he was the only one who was slowed down by going to bed late, but everyone dared not speak out.

Just kidding, this is the captain, he wants to sleep late, who dares to disturb him?

While waiting for the elevator, I met Jiang Daling.

Jiang Daling had seen his application for going out, and knew what he was going to do, but seeing him rushing to other people's houses, wearing the "marriage clothes" given by others, he was somewhat unhappy, and sarcastically said: "Kezo, Are you going to marry?" Glancing at the trainee behind him, "Hey, you still have so many gifts? Are you willing to accept you?"

Ke Zhou said confidently: "What do you know, I just want to give him a long face, this is called rowing!"

It must be too late to take the bus and squeeze the subway, so Kezhou took two online taxis and urged the driver along the way to send himself and the trainees to the destination as quickly as possible.

After getting out of the car, a group of people rushed into Xuyang Science and Technology Park.

Then they ran into another group of people from Hunting Shadow.

Xiang Tao: "Morning, Kezo, oh, it's getting late, you are 10 minutes late."

Ke Zhou: "..."

The two sides confronted each other, seeing them like this, those who didn't know thought they were going to fight in groups.

The atmosphere is gradually tense, and the war is about to break out——

Suddenly, two voices tore apart the anxious situation.

Wu Jinqiu walked towards them with a tray and greeted them warmly: "Come here, come here, it's hot, come and have some iced drinks, coffee, milk tea, iced water, pick your own."

Bo Mingye looked at Kezhou with a smile: "You are here."

There was comfort and joy in his eyes, as if he had been looking forward to him for a long time.

At this moment, Ke Zhou's heart was so happy that it was about to bloom.

He returned with a bright smile: "Well, I wish you a happy business."
