For Love of the Game

The week-long training time is over in the blink of an eye, and the "City of Despair" national finals championship battle is ushered in.

Everyone in Fengyue got up early that day, obviously there was no training arrangement, but everyone came to the training room at the same time.

Hai Xing thought he came early, but when he opened the door, he found that Fan Jingming and Shi Yi had already arrived.

"Aren't you too early? Forget about it, Xiao Ming came so early!"

Fan Jingming pointed to Shi Yi, who was already doing the solo arena, "He got up at 05:30, and I followed him."

When Shi heard this, he took off his earphones, "I'm sorry... I've been very careful not to wake you up."

Fan Jingming smiled, "It's okay, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fall asleep."

Zhou Ning walked in with Zhou Jing, "Everyone wakes up so early, is it because of anxiety before the game?"

"Nonsense!" Hai Xing retorted, "I went to bed too early last night!"

A few people were talking, Song Xueyang's voice came from the corridor, and soon he and Shen Huai walked in together.

"Hey," he raised his eyebrows when he saw that everyone in the room was gathered, "you wake up so early?"

Hai Xing complained, "It's the captain, you came too late, and you arrived early in the morning."

Song Xueyang's eyes lingered on Shi Yi for a moment, Shi Yi faltered and said, "I, I just couldn't hold back..."

Before going to bed yesterday, Song Xueyang told everyone to stay in shape and not to touch the computer again, this is also to prevent mental fatigue caused by excessive excitement.

Zhou Ning said with a smile, "Don't be fooled by him, if the captain didn't want to have fun, why did you come to the training room?"

When he said this, everyone looked at Song Xueyang with a hint of ridicule, and Shen Huai couldn't help but smile.

This is the first time Fengyue has entered the national finals. Regardless of the outcome, it is the best result of the team. For everyone present, it is also the first time to participate in the real domestic finals. The excitement is inevitable.

Song Xueyang showed embarrassment, "How about... let's fight?"

"it is good!"

"Let's have a game!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively, and everyone excitedly played computer games, playing a round of 6V6 heartily.Although the time was not long, Song Xueyang could tell that everyone was in good condition, even better than yesterday, and the content of this week's special training was also solidly mastered.

Song Xueyang stood up, and everyone waited expectantly for him to speak.He smiled bluntly, "As long as you can show this level tonight, it will not be a problem to beat Xiaolang."

A group of big men were as happy as children, Haixing shook the chairs and said, "Captain, you promised us at the opening ceremony that if you win the championship, you will go to Japan to soak in the hot springs. You mean what you say!"

Song Xueyang pinched his nose, "I'm so anxious, it's true that Xiaolang is a rookie, you can win if you want to win?"

Hai Xing whispered, "Didn't you say there's no problem..."

"There is another premise before my no problem, why have you ignored it?" Song Xueyang changed the subject and said with a smile, "The big wind and the big waves have come, I believe we can win this time. Fengyue has been dormant for too long , in the past, we've never been to the Finals or even won a trophy, but this time is different."

"With you this year, Shi Yi, Zhou Jing, and Shen Huai, we have new teammates and new tactics. This is the year we are most likely to win the championship. I hope everyone will have no regrets!"

The people who said what they said were very generous in their hearts. As long as they win this game, they will be a veritable champion team. No matter how many players are replaced, this fact will never be erased.

——Maple Moon, is a championship team.

Especially Shiyi.

This game has extra meaning for him, he wants Guan He to see his progress, and wants him to know that he has lived up to his high expectations!In addition to this, there is one more thing. He knows that after this year's competition, Fan Jingming will retire.

They hadn't been teammates for a long time, and the time they had been partners was even shorter, but they stayed together day and night in the same dormitory, and he was always grateful for Fan Jingming's meticulous care of him.

In the last year of his career, no matter what, he wanted Xiao Ming to win the championship!

Everyone had lunch early and began to put on makeup.

The finals are different than usual, and many media will pay close attention to it. It is often the game with the largest number of spectators in the entire schedule, and it is also the capital used by participating teams to attract sponsorship in the future. Naturally, they must work hard on their image.

But after all, they are going to the competition, if the makeup is uncomfortable and affects their performance, the gain will not be worth the loss, so they just put on a simple makeup to brighten their complexion, and more work on their hair.

On this day, there was a huge crowd of people outside the venue. Fans who came from all over the country to watch the finals lined up outside the gate. Everyone in Fengyue was shocked by the scene when they got off the car. The number of spectators was even larger than that of the opening ceremony. People stood next to each other, loud shouts and screams came and went, everyone walked all the way, and they didn't know how many things were stuffed into their hands.

Hai Xing was terrified, and secretly said to Shi Yi, "There are so many people here, if you lose, won't you lose your life?"

Shi Shi nodded, "I can't lose."

Yes, you can't lose.

Hai Xing puffed up his chest, so many fans were watching, his parents were also watching in front of the computer, he must win!

They entered the venue to sign up, but the members of the Xiaowolf team hadn't arrived yet, and the staff passed them by pushing a glass box.

Everyone could see clearly that what was placed in the glass box half covered by the red cloth was the championship trophy of the S6 season of the national competition.

The pure black square base, the trophy part is made into an "S" shape, like a singing swan, and there is a little swan looking back at the lower right corner, a few neat lines outline them vividly, one big and one small The two swans just formed "S6", which is the symbol of the strongest team this season.

They couldn't help but stop, their eyes gradually drifting away with the trophy, the two swans seemed to hook their souls away.

Zhou Jing sighed, "It's so beautiful."

Starfish nodded, "I want to take a photo with it."

Zhou Ning hugged the two little guys one by one, "Okay, let's have a good fight tonight, won't you let you make trouble if you win the trophy?"

Everyone cheered up immediately and walked to the front desk to sign in with their heads held high.

Shen Huai watched the trophy being pushed behind the curtain and did not move for a long time.

He joined Fengyue for nine months, and he has also been a professional player for nine months.

Just seeing the trophy, he remembered what he had thought when he resolutely decided to quit the entertainment circle - he wanted to win the championship. ,

It’s easy to think about it, but nine months have passed without realizing it.Nine months of hard work and sweat are all for tonight's battle, to prove his strength to everyone.

He clenched his fists tightly, then gradually loosened them, then strode to the front of the stage and signed his name.

Everyone walked towards the waiting room, and ran into three commentators head-on. They also put on new clothes prepared by the competition committee today. Yao Jun stretched out his hand far away, "Come on."

Song Xueyang shook hands with him, "Thank you."

Niu Niu has already entered the state, and excitedly said, "Yu God, I'm ready to blow you all the way, come on!"

Shen Huai smiled, "I hope I won't disappoint you."

Juzi sneaked up to Zhou Ning, put his hands behind his back and smiled, "Come on, don't worry."

Zhou Ning nodded, "Thank you Sister Orange."

Orange's smile widened a bit, and she took another step closer to Zhou Ning, "I'll ask you out after the game, don't try to fool me this time."

Zhou Ning resisted the urge to retreat, and said awkwardly, "Okay."

"Orange, it's time for us to play." Yao Jun shouted.

"Coming soon."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhou Ning's face, then ran away immediately, turned around and waved to them, "Come on!"

Zhou Ning was dumbfounded.

Fan Jingming joked, "Okay, Yanfu is not shallow, I think the deputy team can beat five of them tonight!"

Hai Xing touched Xia Zhou Jing's arm, "Hey, what do you think of your future sister-in-law?"

Zhou Jing patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "If the cornea is no longer needed, donate it to someone who needs it!"

Hai Xing was stunned for a moment, and asked Shi Yi, "What does she mean?"

Shi hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't bear to say, "She said you are blind."

"Damn it! How am I blind!"

Shi Shi whispered, "I also think that the vice-captain doesn't like Miss Orange."

Hai Xing: "..." Why can't he see anything.

At 7:[-] p.m., players from both sides entered the waiting room on time and handed over the peripherals to the referee for inspection.

The three commentators were all in place, and Juzi's face was beaming, "The players from both sides have entered the arena, and the online voting window has also been closed. The votes of the two teams are basically tied at 1:1."

Niu Niu took up the conversation, "The number of votes in the finals over the years has always been the same, and this is also because the teams that can enter the finals are all outstanding players selected at various levels, and they are evenly matched."

Yao Jun said, "That's right, the Xiaowolf team is already a frequent visitor to this stage. It has won the national championship for two consecutive years, entered the finals four times, and is firmly seated as the big brother of the top eight teams. If Xiaowolves win the game tonight , and this is their third year in a winning streak."

The fans of the Xiaowolf team cheered immediately. They waved the support card light sticks, shouted the team slogan, and the flag with the team logo of the Xiaowolf team was planted at the end of the stands.

Juzi continued, "The opponent of the Xiaowolf team tonight, the Fengyue team, is a rookie in the finals. This year's Fengyue has come all the way from the group stage, and it has defeated the four veteran teams of Thunder, God of War, Supper, and WG. The team has gone through all kinds of difficulties and made it to today, they not only carry the hopes of fans, but also the blessings of their former opponents."

In the player viewing area, Si Qianjin and Tao Lele, the captain of the Chenxi team, each held a Maple Moon support card, shaking it rhythmically from side to side with the music.

The members of the dream team sat in a row below, and the captain Luo Lie stood up and shouted, "Come on Fengyue!!"

Fans of Fengyue cheered excitedly as if they were encouraged. The fans of both sides were not to be outdone, and the atmosphere on the field was pushed to a climax.

The big screen showed the situation in the waiting room of the two teams. The captains of both teams were giving lectures. The difference was that Fengyue formed a circle, while Xiaolang stood straight in a horizontal row. The expressions of each player were different. Very serious, which made the audience nervous.

Song Xueyang said: "We've reached the finals, so there's no need to be conservative. Xiaolang is a strong team, and I want you to go all out."

Guan He said: "The national finals are just a stepping stone, and there is still a world championship waiting for us. Fengyue's strength is not as good as that of Xiaolang. What you have to do is to stabilize your performance."

Song Xueyang said: "This is the first time Fengyue has entered the finals. Such an opportunity is hard-won. Cherish the people around you and let us become champions together!"

Guan He said: "The Finals has always been our home game. We have not lost in the past, and there is no reason to lose this time. We must win tonight's game!"

8点整，比赛正式开始，大屏幕上抽取子场顺序——2V2、2V2、6V6、6V6、1V1！

Yao Jun's eyes lit up, "The opening game is a 2V2 double battle! Then there will be two 6V6 team battles. Whether Fengyue's guerrilla warfare is better or Xiaolang's three swordsmen are better, let us wait and see! Finally, the 1V1 ends, Team Guan and Yushen's single-player competition will be the finale for everyone! Tonight's match will be absolutely flawless!"

2V2, the first 2V2.

When Shi Yi looked at the screen and clenched his fists tightly, Song Xueyang had already agreed to let him play 2V2, to Jin An's duel appointment.

His shoulders trembled slightly, both nervous and excited.

Shen Huai pressed his shoulder, bent down and lowered his voice, "Go, let Team Guan see the apprentice I have taught."

Shi Yi nodded heavily, strode towards the soundproof room, and when he was about to open the door, someone grabbed his hand.

Fan Jingming showed a naughty smile, "Hey, little brother, this is 2V2, do you want to abandon your partner?"

List of both sides for the first 2V2 match.

Maple Moon: Fan Jingming, Shi Yi.

Xiaolang: Jin An, An Lu.

A burst of enthusiastic shouts erupted from the auditorium, and several commentators immediately analyzed the situation.

"As we all know, Xiaolang's Guan team never plays 2V2, and Jin An is a player specially trained for 2V2. He has very rich experience in the double arena. An Lu is one of the three swordsmen of Xiaowolf, a swordsman with a light sword in one hand. He has the demeanor of the old team member Yanlang. Although he is young, he already has the style of a general. The combination of these two people is very explosive. cooperation!"

At this time, the picture had already started to be displayed on the big screen, Shi Yi lightly tapped the keyboard, in order to let the fingers adapt to the output rhythm in advance.

Fan Jingming noticed that his breathing was heavier than usual. It was already the finals, and the opponent was his former team. There is nothing wrong with being nervous. The combination of the two had practiced many times before the game, and every combo was in his head. Here, as long as you stay steady, you can't go wrong.

On Xiaolang's side, Jin An and An Lu also entered the state, and An Lu reminded, wearing a headset, "Don't forget what the captain said, be careful of their double Dalian moves."

Jin An quickly tapped the table with his fingers, "Don't worry."

"Now that the players from both sides have been loaded on the map, who do you think will win this game?"

Yao Jun stared at the screen without blinking, "It's hard to say. In terms of strength and experience, both sides are about the same. In terms of explosiveness, they are both outstanding players in the game. But Fengyue's ultimate move, Fengshen Blessing The field control effect combined with Xiao Ming's double big move is very room for manipulation, and can instantly turn the tide of the battle. From this point of view, I vote for Fengyue."

Orange smiled gratifiedly, "The combination of Shi Yi and Xiao Ming is characterized by dismantling the enemy. Any combination of 11>2 will not work for them. In terms of output, Berserker, as the nemesis of long-range occupations, is very It’s easy to kill a mechanic. An elementalist alone is worth fighting against a swordsman, so I also vote for Maple Moon.”

Shiyi is also very clear.

Blessing of the Wind, Blessing of the Wind, his fingers couldn't help touching the skill button of Blessing of the Wind, this is the key to his victory in this game, he must tighten his nerves, find the right opportunity to open it, and create an opportunity for Fan Jingming to cut in .

"go!"

As he said, he pressed his fingertips hard, and at the same time he pressed the forward button, his index finger accidentally pressed the R button, and the Fengshen Blessing, which he poured all his hopes of winning, suddenly opened!

A gust of strong wind blew in all directions centered on the elementalist, with a whistling sound, Shi Yi's heart went cold.

There was a burst of exclamation on the field, and the three commentators were also stunned. Niu Niu was so excited that he shouted, "Go out and zoom in! Shi Yi actually released his big move in the safe zone! It seems that his old habit of being nervous on the spot has returned. Guilty!"

Yao Jun shook his head regretfully, "If this is the case, Fengyue is probably out of luck. I take back the preface and I vote for Xiaolang."

Niu Niu also sighed again and again, "Shi Yi was also a type who was prone to make mistakes at critical moments before. Following the 'Flashing Five Thunders and Booming Gods of Valor, the Holy Light is randomly on the ring', he continued to write new personal stories."

The audience in the live broadcast room laughed coldly.

[6666666!Forever king of passers-by!Yes, this start is a surprise! 】

[Guan team: The red envelope has arrived, it's hard work breaking into the enemy's interior! 】

[Passerby King: If you meet an old teammate, give him a big one for free! 】

[Garbage time one, which team to go to harm which team, it is really possible to enlarge the opening. 】

The Maple Moon fans at the scene were all dumbfounded, while the fans of Xiaolang shouted excitedly.

Shi Yi's hands trembled slightly, his eyes trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the skill icon that had entered the CD state.

"Shiyi?" Fan Jingming called out.

Shi Yi didn't seem to hear it, his face was pale by the light from the screen, and his whole body seemed to be trapped in an invisible vortex.

Fan Jingming pursed his lower lip, and also pressed his own R button——War Fury!

Now not only the fans of Fengyue, but even the fans of Xiaolang looked at each other, Niu Niu exclaimed, "Xiao Ming also released the ultimate move! You must know that 50% of the output damage of the Berserker relies on the ultimate move War Fury to fight!" !"

Shi Yi was also stunned, he turned his head slowly, Fan Jingming shrugged and showed him a bright smile.

"Isn't it just a big one, so what if it's gone? If someone makes up a jingle for you, include me in it."

At this moment, an intense emotion suddenly hit Shi Yi's heart, like a rushing river, or like a huge wave beating against a rock.

Those lingering nightmares that lingered in my heart dissipated like little ghosts who had seen the light, and were replaced by a power that never existed before.
