For the next ten days, Zuo Zhengyi started head-to-head training.

The Scorpion's first game in the second half of the season is the Shenyue Champions Cup group stage.

Zuo Zhengyi was experiencing the turmoil of the WSND when the Champions Cup draw was made years ago, and he didn't have a deep impression of the grouping situation, so he just dug it out now to take a closer look.

The Champions Cup schedule is roughly divided into two stages, the first stage is the qualifiers, and the second stage is the main match.

The qualifiers are equivalent to a nationwide audition, no matter what level the team can sign up for.Therefore, there are many teams participating in the Champions Cup every year, and their levels are also uneven.

The eight strongest teams among them entered the main match and competed with the sixteen top teams in EPL.

In the main competition stage, the eight teams from the qualifiers will first enter the four groups of ABCD after the first round of draws, with two teams in each group. The sixteen teams of the EPL went through the second round of draws, and then entered the four groups of ABCD, with four teams in each group.

In other words, there are a total of six teams in each group.

These six teams play a single round-robin match in the group, and the top two in the final points can qualify and advance to the quarter-finals.

This year, the Scorpions are in Group B. The five teams in the same group are UG, TT, FYG, SFIVE and Lion.

This grouping can't be said to be good, but it's not the worst either.

The worst "group of death" is Group A.

Group A has SP, XH, FPG, CQ, SXD and MX Tengyun.The former four giants accounted for two, as well as CQ, which currently ranks first in EPL points, and FPG, which ranks second in the qualifiers.It is foreseeable how fierce the fighting will be.

Apart from the Scorpions, the only traditionally strong team in Group B is Lion.But this does not mean that the other four teams can be underestimated.

For example, Scorpion's next first opponent, SFIVE, is a dark horse.

This is a new team, which came out of nowhere, beat FPG, and advanced to the main match with a good result of No. 1 in the qualifiers. It can be described as a dark horse among dark horses.

But there are dark horses in the Champions Cup every year, and each one is very powerful.They abused all the small teams in the qualifiers and killed all sides. After entering the main match, they encountered real strong teams, and most of them would show their true colors.

There are very few new teams that can reach the final all the way from the qualifiers, and even fewer reach the final and win the championship.

Zuo Zhengyi doesn't know what the real level of SFIVE is, but he should not underestimate the enemy, and must show his best state to face the new opponent.

Before February 2, he mainly played double row with Ji Jue.

From February 2th, Scorpion's teammates and coaches returned to the team, and the team began to conduct systematic training to prepare for the Champions League group stage.

The first teammate Zuo Zhengyi saw was Enter, who was Scorpion's top laner and current captain Song Xianfeng.

Although everyone is not familiar with each other, but after all, they are old colleagues in EPL, and they have been neighbors in the e-sports park for so long, so they don't need to introduce themselves to each other when they meet.

Zuo Zhengyi only greeted him symbolically.

He has been in a tense state of mind recently, and his mood is not very good, so his attitude is not enthusiastic.

Song Xianfeng was not enthusiastic either. He was similar to Ji Jue, with "business affairs" and "do not want to make friends with colleagues" written all over his face.

Zuo Zhengyi remembered Song Xianfeng's evaluation in the circle was "good personality", and he often laughed in interviews. If he hadn't had a good personality, he would not have been elected as the captain of Scorpion.

That being the case, Zuo Zhengyi thought to himself, he was so indifferent to him, probably because of Ji Jue.

——The good relationship between Zuo Zhengyi and Ji Jue is well known in the whole circle.

This means that even though Zuo Zhengyi had just come to Scorpion and hadn't done anything yet, he naturally carried a "political stance" and was classified as a "discipline faction" against Song Xianfeng and others.

Sure enough, Zuo Zhengyi guessed right. When he was assisting Rain and AD Zili to return to the team, he also had a lukewarm attitude when he met him.

Although they wouldn't find reasons to make things difficult for him, they obviously didn't want to take the initiative to associate with him.

Zuo Zhengyi had never seen such a teammate.

When he was in WSND before, most of the people around him were straight-hearted, and the typical Fu Yong would quarrel with him because of inexplicable things. Like a retard.

In contrast, several of Scorpion's teammates seem too "smart".

Zuo Zhengyi couldn't help but want to argue with them, but the next match was on the 24th, and it was only a few days away, and the training time was not long enough, so he couldn't spare any energy to engage in interpersonal relationships.

—— Zuo Zhengyi couldn't even sleep well.

On the night of the 23rd, he had a nightmare.

People say that they think day by day and dream at night. Zuo Zhengyi thinks too much during the day, and at night he really dreams about what he fears most: losing the game.

In the dream, he was solo killed by SFIVE's mid laner, who stepped on his corpse and planted the SFIVE team flag on his head.

Public opinion on the Internet is boiling, and there are endless curses.The teammates around him also cast contemptuous glances, and countless voices jeered in his ears at the same time: "Look! I said it a long time ago, End is a brush fed by the abnormal tactics of the father's team! He can't do it at all! If you change the team, you will be exposed. Already!"

These voices came from all directions, surrounded him, and gradually moved away from him.

Then, Jia Lan suddenly appeared.

She approached slowly, and as she walked, she suddenly transformed into a long sword and flew into his hand.

The sword said, "Can you still hold me?"

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi's hands trembled and he woke up suddenly.

It was exactly two o'clock in the morning, and Zuo Zhengyi, covered in cold sweat, reached out to turn on the bedside lamp.

He had just lived in the scorpion for less than half a month, and he hadn't fully gotten used to it. Every time he woke up, he would feel a little dazed, feeling that the surrounding environment was strange, and for a moment he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north, and east.

He let this breath go, picked up his phone, and found a wechat message.

Wu Yun: "End, are you busy?"

This is "Zhengyi is not afraid of dark clouds".

When working on Xu Zongping's case before, Zuo Zhengyi added her as a friend, but this female fan has a sense of propriety, and she almost never bothered him unless necessary.The last time they chatted was during the Spring Festival when Wu Yun sent him "Happy Chinese New Year", and Zuo Zhengyi replied politely.

Wu Yun: "If you are busy, you don't need to call me back. I just have a few words to tell you."

Wu Yun: "I have seen all the turmoil on the Internet recently, and I have also paid attention to those things during the transfer period. At that time, I wanted to comfort you, but I don't know the inside story, and I am afraid that saying the wrong thing will affect your mood..."

Wu Yun: "Scorpion is going to play SFIVE tomorrow. I guess you are under a lot of pressure. After all, it is the first game of the new team. But it is not a big deal. You have played many more important games than this. Last year's Champions Cup final Do you still remember the pre-match interview? The host asked you if you were nervous, and you said, 'Not nervous, victory can be won but not controlled, just go all out'."

Wu Yun: "Come on for tomorrow's game, remember your own words, just go all out and don't think about anything else."

Wu Yun: "Come on! End!"

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi stared at the phone screen, stared blankly for a few seconds, and replied "Thank you" dully.

After sending it, he felt that just saying "thank you" was too light, and added "I will not let you down".Then he put down his phone, lay back on the pillow, and forced himself to sleep on.

Although I didn't feel sleepy, I fell asleep after a long time.

Miraculously, the quality of sleep in the second half of the night turned out to be pretty good.When he woke up the next morning, his complexion looked much better than the previous few days.

The game day is different from usual, the atmosphere in the Scorpion base is a bit dignified.

Zuo Zhengyi and Ji Jue had breakfast together, and when they entered the training room and met those three teammates, they still used each other as background boards, and they exchanged no more than three sentences, without even bothering to bend the corners of their mouths.

These two days they have a conflict, it is about the command.

At the beginning of the first half of the season, the Scorpion's on-court commander was Rain, who also supported Zhu Yuhong.At that time, Ji Jue was playing AD in the bottom lane. After some changes, he switched to the jungler. The team's focus gradually shifted from the bottom lane to the jungle.

From then on, Zhu Yuhong was not the only conductor.

——Ji Jue did not compete with him for the command, but he often raised objections to his command.

Since there was no time to discuss slowly during the game, Ji Jue's way of "raising objections" was to not obey orders.This caused Zhu Yuhong to be quite dissatisfied with Ji Jue, but Ji Jue performed very well, and Scorpion's grades also improved, so he had no reason to get angry.

The absence of an outbreak does not mean that the problem does not exist. Scorpion is currently under the dual command of Ji Jue and Zhu Yuhong, but in fact the latter's command power is unstable.

In fact, there are quite a few teams with dual commanders in the EPL, but this kind of team usually has two commanders who cooperate with each other, rather than criticize each other and disobey each other.

The state of the scorpion is typical of calm on the surface, but in fact the undercurrent is raging, and sooner or later, conflicts will erupt.

The arrival of Zuo Zhengyi undoubtedly accelerated the speed at which conflicts erupted.

On the 18th, when all the players returned to the team and they played their first training match, Zuo Zhengyi offered to ask, "How about I take command?"

There was silence in the training room.

Top laner Song Xianfeng didn't say a word, AD Zhang Zili lowered his head, assistant Zhu Yuhong seemed to be deaf and dumb, and answered with silence.

The coach stood behind Zuo Zhengyi and didn't even express his opinion.

This coach's real name is Sun Chunyu, and his nickname in the circle is "Achun". He is not too old, he is not tall, and his face is a bit simple and honest.As for the level of coaching, I can only say that it is not bad, and it is similar to the coaches of most teams in the EPL.

Nowadays, famous coaches in the e-sports circle are hard to find, even rarer than talented players.

Zuo Zhengyi glanced at him, and from his slightly evasive expression, he could see that he lacked prestige in Scorpion and didn't have much right to speak.

No wonder the scorpions continued to fight among themselves in the first half of the season, and it has not been completely resolved until now. It is because there is no suppression.

None of them spoke, only Ji Jue said "I agree".

As soon as these three words fell to the ground, Zhu Yuhong's expression became unsightly.

Zuo Zhengyi didn't want to have conflicts with his teammates on the first day—mainly because he was worried about affecting the game. He reluctantly took a step back and said, "Let's play and see first," vaguely mentioning this matter.

Then I kept "seeing" until the 24th, no one had decided who should be in command, and there was a faint trend of changing from "two commanders" to "three commanders".

Zuo Zhengyi felt that it was a bit outrageous, but he was new here and it was not easy to cause trouble, so he decided to save all opinions until after playing SFIVE.

……

On the afternoon of the 24th, the whole Scorpion team drove to the competition venue.

Affected by Zuo Zhengyi's related public opinion, today's match between Scorpion and SFIVE is very popular, and the degree of attention is no less than that of the Champions Cup final.

The venue was full of audience early on, and the staff on the stage carefully adjusted the equipment. Before the players of the two teams played, the live broadcast had already started.

Two commentators, a man and a woman, appeared in front of the camera. They first said some formulas in cooperation, and then introduced the starting lineup of Scorpion and SFIVE from the grouping of the Champions Cup.

When they talked about "End is about to make his debut as the new mid laner of the Scorpions today", it happened that the player appeared on the stage, and Zuo Zhengyi walked up the steps and appeared on the big screen of the live broadcast.

The blue and white of WSND faded from his body, and the black team uniform of Scorpion became his new clothes, setting off his expressionless face surprisingly cold.

Zuo Zhengyi has not changed, but there seems to be something different from before.

He went to the glass room.

There was a tsunami-like shout from the audience——

"End Come on!"

"Zuo Zhengyi! Go all out!"

"—You won't lose!!"

The sound was so loud that the stage almost shook, making one wonder if all the people who supported End players from all over the world gathered here.Although this is impossible, there are not so many seats on site.

But the voices of those who could not be present seemed to gather at this moment, spreading far into Zuo Zhengyi's heart.

His eyes were slightly hot, he paused for a while, and made an "OK" gesture off the stage, then followed his teammates into the soundproof glass room.

--Game start.
