Zuo Zhengyi turned and left under Jin Zhixiu's gaze. After returning, the two devoted themselves to their respective preparations for the knockout match and never contacted again.

The knockout stage is different from the group stage and is a stage that attracts much attention.

There are three Chinese teams in the top eight list, but because CQ and Scorpion qualify as No.2 in the group, they have the upper hand in the eighth round.

CQ played DN8, and Scorpion played F6. Both games were tough battles.

SP is on the contrary. The advantage of qualifying first in the group allows them to avoid other group firsts in terms of rules. The opponents encountered in the eight-to-four knockout round are relatively weak second-tier teams.

This game was the first of the knockout rounds, and on the night of July 7th, SP won relatively easily.

——Up to now, the audience still can’t see whether SP wins every game so easily, whether it’s the opponent’s problem, or SP is just too strong.

Everyone leans towards the latter.

A voice gradually appeared on the Internet: SP is aiming for the Triple Crown. From this point of view, if every game is extremely difficult and the strength cannot widen the gap with other teams, is it qualified to be the Triple Crown?

In other words: a team that truly has the strength of the triple crown should have swept everything, like SP is doing now.

Netizens praised SP in various ways, saying "you don't need to watch SP's game, it's another victory when you wake up".

After the eight-to-four knockout round, everyone couldn't play any new tricks, so they turned to pick on the shortcomings.

Someone posted a post titled "If you lose in the semi-finals, where will SP lose?" "

This kind of unlucky post, which is like bad news in advance, would be abused by fans in normal times, but now everyone has nothing to do, and they even discussed it seriously, making suggestions for SP in the opposite direction.

SP is calm and the situation is good, but not every Chinese team is happy.

CQ used his whole life skills to defeat DN8 and advanced to the semi-finals.This is very gratifying, the semi-finals are already very good, refreshing the best record in the history of the CQ team.But apart from being happy, their whole team is worried about the next semi-final.

Scorpion didn't even have a chance to worry, and was directly pressed to death by F6, failing to advance.

Zuo Zhengyi watched the live broadcast of the match in the hotel.

There are only a few knockout matches, let alone the match between F6 and Scorpion, no matter what the reason is, he will watch it.

But some people were afraid that he would not watch it, so they came to remind him on the eve of the game.

It was Akey.

It was already very late at night, Zuo Zhengyi had just laid down on the bed, and Ji Jue was taking a shower in the bathroom, when he heard someone knock on the door.

Zuo Zhengyi thought that the team leader was looking for something to do with him, so he put on his pajamas and went to open the door, but saw Akey standing outside the door with a look of pain and hatred on his face.

"..." Zuo Zhengyi was a little speechless, since Akey's failed confession last time, they have not contacted him again, "What do you want?"

Akey obviously prepared a draft before coming here. In case he was impatient to listen, he said as soon as he opened his mouth: "I don't have much to say, so I'll finish right away. Don't close the door!"

Zuo Zhengyi was annoyed: "If it's that, then there's no need to talk about it."

"No." The two of them played charades face to face, and Akey understood everything, and said in a low voice, "Recently, I've thought a lot, and some of them figured it out, while others didn't."

Zuo Zhengyi frowned.

Akey quickly said: "I mean games, how to play!"

"Oh." Zuo Zhengyi was very cold.

Akey said: "I understand more and more how strong you are, End."

"I know, there are countless people saying that every day." Zuo Zhengyi said, "If you just want to praise me in person, you don't have to. I'm tired of hearing it."

Akey glanced at him, and quickly turned his gaze away, not daring to look directly.

"No. Actually, I... Actually, I came to you because I was nervous." Akey lowered his head, his waist was almost hunched, his previous arrogant self-confidence was like the air in a balloon, and it was easy to prick him with a needle The ground leaked out, and after swelling, only shriveled.

He was a little choked up. The frustration and confusion for more than two consecutive months almost broke him. It is very self-aware and impolite to seek comfort from Zuo Zhengyi, but apart from Zuo Zhengyi, he doesn't know where to go to draw strength .

"Please," Akey said incoherently, "Can you give me a compliment? I... I'm going to play F6 tomorrow, and I'm panicked and nervous. I know it's embarrassing, but I can't help it."

"..."

"I don't know when I learned to be nervous, obviously I never did before. Maybe it started from the day you woke me up...End, I'm just an ordinary mid laner with mediocre skills, I'm not worthy to compare with you, Not any more special than anyone else, right?"

Zuo Zhengyi was silent for a while, and replied: "It depends on what your standards are. If you have to compare with me, you are indeed just an ordinary mid laner."

"..."

It was really impossible for Zuo Zhengyi to comfort others, he would only make things worse.Moreover, such arrogant words would not violate peace only if they came from his mouth, and it would be very strange for another person.

Akey's head drooped even lower, but anyone who is attracted by Zuo Zhengyi has some M gene in their bones.

Zuo Zhengyi was obviously attacking him, but he was able to find a 90.00% possibility of praise from the [-]% of the attack force, and smooth things over for himself: "It means that if I don't compare with you, I will be fine." Excellent, right?"

Unexpectedly, Zuo Zhengyi did not retort: ​​"Yes."

Even though Akey once caused him so much trouble, he did not intentionally slander the other party because of holding grudges, he said truthfully: "You are talented, there is no need to learn from me. Imitation is a shortcut, but it will make you lose Self. Self-confidence is the premise of self-confidence, and self-confidence is the quality that must be possessed by the core, and it cannot be shaken even if the world is broken. Once shaken, you are not worthy to sit there."

"..."

Akey didn't expect Zuo Zhengyi to say so many positive things to him, never before.

He was still very nervous, and the topic continued: "Scorpion will play F6 tomorrow, do you think I have a high chance of winning?"

"Not much." Zuo Zhengyi said whatever he thought, without concealing it, "F6 is much stronger than scorpions, unless they get sick."

"..."

The confidence that Akey just mentioned was shattered again, and he was so frustrated that he didn't answer for a long time.

He didn't speak, and Zuo Zhengyi didn't speak again.

The lights in the hotel corridor were kept on all night, and Akey stood in the light, but somehow felt ashamed and almost swallowed by the darkness.

He seemed to have nothing to say, thanked him and turned to leave.

Zuo Zhengyi stared at his back, and suddenly said: "No game is guaranteed to win."

Akey paused.

"I have fought many battles with a low winning rate. Even the current SP - in the eyes of everyone, has already booked the championship, but against F6, I can only say [-]-[-], at most [-]."

"..."

Akey was slightly taken aback.

Zuo Zhengyi said: "There is no guarantee of victory in e-sports, and there is no guarantee of loss. If you lose your fighting spirit because you have little hope, you are not worthy of playing professionally. Do you know what the spirit of e-sports is?"

Akey looked back at Zuo Zhengyi.

Zuo Zhengyi looked a little impatient, willing to say so much had already broken the limit of his patience.

But hidden in his extreme indifference is a kind of aura emanating from the depths of his soul, called invincible, anyone who sees it will be moved.

"It's 'win or lose, fight until the last moment'."

With a resounding sentence, Zuo Zhengyi closed the door neatly and went back to the bedroom no matter what Akey's reaction was after Zuo Zhengyi finished speaking.

蝎子和F6的比赛在7月13日，这是7月12日晚上发生的事。

Inspired by Zuo Zhengyi, Akey played better than the previous few games.

Driven by him, all the members of Scorpion played exceptionally well. Although they still lost to F6 in the end, the game was very exciting, and Scorpion played bloody rare.

Scorpion fans cried after the game, saying it was a "sad loss".

But the whole SP team watched the live broadcast together, and the deepest feeling is: F6 is stronger than they expected.

A truly strong team has an obvious feature: no matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, they can play with ease.

F6 gives people this feeling.

Scorpion tried his best to suck it up, and he was so red-eyed, but he still couldn't force F6 to play his hole card.Strong enemies with hidden moves are the most dangerous.

In the mournful and mournful atmosphere among fans of the Scorpion team, Scorpion was defeated and returned home.

Akey sent a long Weibo.

His literary talent is not very good, but he is still sincere. He talked about his "unrequited love" for Zuo Zhengyi's game level in the past few years, and sincerely regretted it, saying that he would calm down in the future to improve his skills and strive to become a better player. Excellent mid laner.

At the end of this Weibo, he finally formally apologized to Zuo Zhengyi for the turmoil he caused and the unrestrained provocation.

The scorpion fans were silent, only a small number of people followed Akey to apologize to Zuo Zhengyi, and most of them remained silent.

Zuo Zhengyi's fans are on the contrary. A few people went to the comment area to get angry, but most of them "followed the righteous master" and said generously that it was over and no one would hold on to these small things. Go back to the bridge, go back to the road, each earns his own future.

Zuo Zhengyi himself didn't say anything, even if he wanted to reply, Ji Jue wouldn't let him post it.

That night he opened the door for Akey without Ji Jue's knowledge, which already made Ji Jue very unhappy. Zuo Zhengyi coaxed him for an unprecedented 6 minutes before coaxing him well.

After Scorpion returned to China, not long after, SP personally ended CQ's promotion.

——They unfortunately bumped into each other in the semifinals.

The opponent in the F6 semi-finals is the KTE team.

Zuo Zhengyi's mouth seemed to have the ability to speak. He wished Jin Zhixiu all the way to win in front of him before, and it actually came true——

On July 7th, SP and F25 successfully met in the final without any suspense and with great drama according to the script written in advance by audiences all over the world.
