For Love of the Game

Sun Yuan returned to the training room angrily to pack his things. This was probably the most embarrassing time in his life. Before leaving, he said viciously to Shen Huai, "I'll wait to see you fail."

Shen Huai made way for him indifferently, Sun Yuan was so angry that his shoulders trembled, and he strode out the door.

Everyone has seen this scene, Shen Huai said concisely, "Sunny from the Supper team will come to report this afternoon, Xiao Zhang, you can try to form a 2V2 with him first to see if it goes well."

Xiao Zhang clicked his tongue, "Yu Shen is a good trick, if you say change, then change, is it my turn to be the next one?"

Song Xueyang said with a smile, "It's good that you know it yourself."

Si Qianjin couldn't help interjecting, "Xiao Zhang, you have too much prejudice against Yushen, don't you?"

Luo Lie followed, "Yu Shen is clearly arranging a partner for you, why are you so ignorant?"

"Ouch! I can't afford to offend you," Xiao Zhang raised his hands in surrender, got up and walked out, and when he passed the door, he approached Shen Huai with a smile and said, "I can always hide, right? Bye~"

Luo Lie said awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't expect him to leave just like that."

Si Jin grabbed his shoulders and said, "Don't think about it, he just doesn't want to train, so he's making use of it! I'm really knowledgeable, he trains for three or four hours a day, and he can still play at this level. It's amazing. Man, pissed off."

Zhou Ning sneaked in, "You have a better future than him."

"Really?" Si Qianjin posted, "Deputy Zhou, based on the friendship between Lei Ting and Fengyue, why don't you let Team Guan guide me?"

He finally found out that it is better to ask Zhou Ning directly if he has something to ask Guan He. As long as Zhou Ning agrees, Guan He will never refuse.

Zhou Ning secretly gave Guan He a threatening look, "Okay, what does Team Guan say?"

Guan He turned around and said lightly, "I don't know how to play with fire, how about I play 1V1 with you and you figure it out by yourself?"

"Forget it," Si Qianjin quickly returned to his seat, "I haven't thought about it that much before, and I'm going to hit the muzzle myself."

Playing 1V1 with Guan He, isn't that rushing to find abuse?

Tao Lele was a little worried, "Shen Huai, Sun Yuan just left, will he reveal our lineup to players from other countries?"

The teams participating in the Wild Card Tournament come from 15 countries or regions. It is too much work to go to the games of all the teams from other countries this year and to study their play styles, not to mention not having so much time.But if the enemy knows their lineup, even if they don't have time to read their games, they may still develop a style of play that restrains their profession.

In that case, the wild card game will only be more difficult for them.

Shen Huai nodded, "He will definitely do this, but it may not be effective."

"Eh?"

Song Xueyang said confidently, "The wild card game randomly draws lots to determine the opponent. No one can predict the opponent in advance. Sun Yuan just wants to say that he doesn't know who we will fight. We can only predict our opponent in the finals based on the level of e-sports in each country. But this year the Wild Card Tournament has been restructured, and countries have not announced in advance the players who will participate in the Wild Card Tournament, and he may not be able to find someone."

Luo Lie thought for a while, "However, among the wild card teams, the British team and the American team are relatively strong. As long as you tell the news to the more famous players from these two countries, they are very likely to be selected for the wild card match?"

"Almost," Song Xueyang's eyes flashed a calculating light, "but because it is a random draw, no one can say that when we meet the British and American teams, it will be the finals. From this point of view, instead of wasting precious training time It’s not as practical as going to a roster that’s not sure if it’s accurate, or watching us play once in the Wild Card Tournament.”

Everyone suddenly realized, Liang Minghui shook his head helplessly, "Captain Song really counts everything."

Si Jin clicked his tongue twice, "Luo Lie, do you now know how uncomfortable it is to play against Fengyue?"

Luo Lie nodded, "I suddenly felt that the team who knew our lineup from Sun Yuan but didn't study it carefully is really pitiful."

At that time, this poor team had just finished a day of training.

Louis dragged his partner and hurriedly knocked on the door of the captain's room.

Green's face was stern, "Louis, if you can't give me a reasonable reason to knock on my door late at night, I'll put you on my bed."

Louis: "..."

"It's Pablo. He just received a message from someone claiming to be a member of the Chinese wild card team and told us the lineup of the Chinese team."

Captain Green immediately opened the door to let them in, "What did he say?"

Pablo said, "The boy said that the Chinese players participating in the wild card competition this year are Guan He, Jin An, Jia Yunge, Liang Minghui, Xiao Zhang, and the team battles will be WG's serial bonus flow."

Green took out two cans of Coke from the refrigerator and handed them to them, "Where's Zhang Jiayan?"

Louis said, "They said they were injured and couldn't compete."

Green nodded, "It's almost as I expected. Several masters from China are here, especially Guan He and Xiao Zhang. You must be very careful."

Pablo nodded repeatedly, and Louis patted him anxiously, "There's also the matter of the assassin!"

"Oh, yes, that kid also said that this year the Chinese team has an assassin player, what's his name, Chinese names are too difficult. Anyway, let's figure out a way to deal with him."

"Assassin?" Green thought for a while before laughing, "Go back, this news is fake. How can an assassin be harder to deal with than Guan He? The Chinese team must be deliberately confusing us."

"That's not the case!" Louis said hastily, "When Pablo and I were in duo before, I met an assassin player who claimed to be from China. I have never seen his assassin style of play before. It is particularly violent and elegant. , and his partner is a sniper, the two of them actually defeated us!"

"Assassin? Sniper?"

Captain Green has heard it all. Can these two professions that are difficult to perform well in the professional arena beat their British-recognized ace combination?

"That's right! I think what he said is true, and we should take more precautions."

Green frowned, "What else did he say?"

Pablo shook his head, "I don't understand the rest."

"Here, give it to me."

Pablo handed over the phone, and Green stared at the photos of their chat records for 15 minutes, and finally gave up. "This guy's English is really terrible. He should go back to school first."

After the training in the morning, Shen Huai called Luo Lie to stop, "How do you feel about your recent training?"

Luo Lie chuckled, showing two rows of big white teeth, "I really think it's pretty good. If there is anything I don't understand, I can immediately find the seniors for advice. Captain Tao and Captain Division take good care of me. 2V2 is also getting smoother.”

Shen Huai nodded, "Because your air-type assassin skills have a relatively long vacuum period, and your teammates can help you make up for this in 2V2. You can also try to consider developing in the direction of 2V2 in the future. It doesn't mean that you must be in the arena to play an assassin. One-on-one, as long as you can play your own characteristics, people can still remember you."

Luo Lie nodded happily, "I see, captain."

"Don't think about the world ranking when you participate in the wild card competition in the first year. Learning more things is the top priority."

"Now that this is all said and done, I really have something to do." He asked with a smile on his face, "Can Yushen give me some advice if you have time? We all play assassins, and you are my idol! It's hard to get along with you If a team doesn't learn from a teacher, I feel sorry for myself."

As he spoke, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Shen Huai liked Luo Lie's brave and straightforward character very much. After the Dream Team was eliminated in the national competition, he took the initiative to challenge himself to a duel, which was enough to show his interest in professional e-sports He is naturally willing to take care of such a hard-working player.

What's more, he has always hoped that his beloved assassin profession can shine in the professional competition and attract more players.

"Okay, from now on, as long as there is no additional training for the team tonight, you can stay and train with me, but the time can't be too long, about an hour, and it can't affect the next day's training."

"Yeah!" Luo Lie jumped forward happily and gave Shen Huai a hug, "God Yu, you are such a wonderful person!"

Song Xueyang didn't know where to get out, "I want to participate too."

Shen Huai: "..." The Snow God is also a big jealousy.

During training in the afternoon, Sunny joined the team and reported for duty. He never thought that he would still have the chance to participate in the wild card game. He was already planning to pack his things and go back to his hometown for a few days.

Sunny is the No. [-] professional conjurer player in China this year, and he plays black spells with a lot of control. As soon as he came to Shen Huai, he let him join the team battle mode with serial bonuses.

"WG's most violent serial bonus flow is Holy Light, Mech, Dual Fire, Halo War, and Swordsman. The latter two are used for control. We lack meat tanks. At present, Zhou Ning is the only one who can charge forward and resist the enemy's damage. And Captain Tao, but the two of them are not pure tanks after all, so sunny, you are responsible for remote support and team formation."

"No problem." Sunny said bluntly, the opportunity to team up with the masters of each team to play games is very rare. He knows that his strength is weak, so he is very happy to be able to help a little.

"There are exactly 12 of us, so we can be divided into two groups. Jin An, Jia Yunge, Si Qianjin, Liang Minghui, Zhou Ning, and sunny, you all form a team to play the serial bonus first, and we have 6 people left to play against you in a team. Fight the battle of the head of state, which WG is best at."

Everyone expressed their understanding that Shen Huai asked Liang Minghui to take command, while he left the problem of command to Song Xueyang.

In the first match, due to lineup problems, the chain bonus stream won easily.

Si Qianjin said happily, "This style of play is really cool, much higher than our Thunder Double Fire lineup! I don't think there will be any problem in the wild card game."

Everyone also nodded, Xiao Zhang sarcastically said, "You start to be complacent after playing like this, do you have this kind of lineup for the wild card team?"

"Xiao Shen, if you lose a practice match, you lose. Why are you so upset?"

Shen Huai said, "Xiao Zhang is right. Our lineup just now has no flesh and no control. Of course you are easy to fight, but you will definitely not encounter such a team fighting team in the wild card game. If you don't believe me, you and Sunny will transfer here, Luo Lie and I will go there, it will be difficult for you to fight."

Everyone fought again according to Shen Huai's statement, and they lost this time.

Liang Minghui said helplessly, "Snow God, Guan Dui and Xiao Zhang, the output is too high. Yu God, you are lagging behind this time!"

Shen Huai didn't speak, he lowered his head and pondered for some reason, and soon commanded suddenly, "Jia Yunge, you and Si Qianjin should change teams."

"Hey! Why change me again?" Si Qianjin yelled, but moved very quickly. Shen Huai was so serious suddenly, he must have thought of a new tactic, and he couldn't wait to try it.

This time the two sides are really evenly matched. Although Jia Yunge of the first ring is missing in the chain bonus stream, the second and third rings can also play bonuses, and with Si Qianjin and Liang Minghui's two fire skills, the damage is still good.

On the other side, Song Xueyang quickly figured out the intention of Shen Huai's arrangement, let Jia Yunge go up to resist the damage, Sunny protected Xiao Zhang's output, Tao Lele and Guan He went straight to the enemy's back row, and supported him remotely, the effect was extraordinary Well, for a while, the opponent couldn't figure out the rhythm at all.

Si Qianjin praised repeatedly, "Yes! Is this Fengyue's guerrilla attack or Xiaolang's fast attack? I didn't see it at all!"

Song Xueyang said, "I think the most appropriate way to say it is the perfect lineup. Team Guan and Team Tao play fast breaks and cut to the back row. Sunny protects Xiao Zhang and suppresses the enemy's front row. Deputy Jia resists damage and I use up long-distance consumption. Everyone plays their own roles. job, very balanced."

Luo Lie nodded, "Indeed, I was cut off by Team Guan and Team Tao just now!"

Liang Minghui also found it incredible, "I didn't expect that we could form such a lineup."

Shen Huai never thought that the problem that had troubled him for so many days would be solved so easily, he couldn't help but look at Song Xueyang, who also smiled at him, his eyes full of approval.

In the next few days, Shen Huai perfected this new style of play, trying to make every player adapt to the rhythm of team battles of the two different styles of play. After a few days, the results were quite fruitful.

Most of the people were training hard, but Xiao Zhang was still fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. He came and left whenever he wanted, and Shen Huai didn't bother him much.

Song Xueyang joked, "I really didn't expect you to tolerate Xiao Zhang until now."

Shen Huai's eyes darkened, "I asked Captain Hu, and he is the same in God of War. I don't expect him to train as hard as other players. As long as he doesn't change his mind, I can endure until the end of the wild card competition. "

Song Xueyang understood what he meant. The God of War ranked fourth this year, and it has been determined that he will not be able to participate in the world finals. If Xiao Zhang doesn't care about the world ranking, the wild card competition is completely useless to him.

"Just because you don't mess with him doesn't mean he won't mess with you."

Shen Huai sighed silently, "Open one eye and close one eye."

While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door, loud enough to be heard on the whole floor.

Song Xueyang just opened the door, and Jin An ran in angrily, his face was flushed from the suffocation, and his eyes seemed to spew fire.

Song Xueyang immediately stopped him, "Jin An, please speak up if you have something to say."

Jin An pushed him away, "I can't talk properly! Yushen, I'll call you captain, you change my room, I can't fucking stand that idiot Xiao Zhang!"

Shen Huai and Song Xueyang looked at each other and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"He, he!" Jin An didn't say it for a long time, and finally said it with a breath, "He brought people back to spend the night!"

Shen Huai was taken aback for a moment, and soon realized the meaning of the sentence of bringing people back for the night, a pair of beautiful eyebrows furrowed immediately, "Are you serious?"

"What did I lie to you for?"

Xiao Zhang didn’t come to the training tonight as usual, he didn’t think much about it, he just swiped his room card and entered the room, but found that the light was not turned on in the room, and there were bursts of groans in the darkness, he immediately threw his bag on the bed, cursing With a sound, he turned around and ran to Shen Huai.

Before Xiao Zhang always had to play until three or four o'clock in the morning before going to bed, he could bear it, but this time it was so disgusting that he almost couldn't spit it out. Now, as soon as he stepped into that room, he remembered the picture he saw, and his stomach Li can't stop turning rivers and seas.

"Captain, let me tell you, I have to change rooms this time! I will never step into that room again when I open one myself! One step!"

Jin An was trembling with anger, Shen Huai patted him on the back, "Don't be angry, I promise you, I'll go and have a look."

He said and went downstairs, Jin An reluctantly followed them, and Liang Minghui and Tao Lele who heard the voice coming out of the house, they all went to the door of Xiao Zhang's room together.

Jin An swiped the room card with disgust on his face. The lights in the room were brightly lit. Xiao Zhang was sitting on the sofa in the living room topless, with a big red spot on his forehead. A beautiful girl was helping him with hot compresses. The girl was still wearing pajamas. , Shen Huai glanced at it and immediately turned his head away.

Song Xueyang smiled gently, "Sister, you go back to your room for a while, we have something to talk to Xiao Zhang."

The girl glanced at Xiao Zhang, nodded and entered the room, closing the door.

Xiao Zhang grabbed the bag on the coffee table and threw it towards the door. They reacted quickly but avoided it. A thermos cup rolled out of the bag, making a clanging sound.

Xiao Zhang got up and pointed at Jin An and scolded, "Did you wear a furry thermos in summer? Throwing it on the bed without even looking at it?"

Jin An's face was extremely ugly, "You pervert are the ones I hit, did you fuck me?"

"Are you beautiful? Shall I go to bed with you?"

"I mean, did you take her to my bed and roll!"

Xiao Zhang made a ruffian smile, "Why don't you go and smell it?"

"I fuck your mother!"

Jin An yelled and swung his fist to rush in, Song Xueyang quickly grabbed him, but this kid Jin An went crazy like a bull, Song Xueyang couldn't hold back, thanks to Si Qianjin who heard the movement and rushed over with The weight overpowered him.

Shen Huai said coldly, "Xiao Zhang, I can tolerate you even if you come late and leave early for training, but this time you have gone too far!"

"Why did I go too far? Did someone say that you are not allowed to bring friends back for the night during training?" Xiao Zhang didn't show any sign of repentance. He admired Shen Huai's livid face and smiled instead, "What? Is Captain Shen planning to fire me too? It’s a pity, there are only five days left before the wild card game, you may not have time to change. I’m not as restless as Sun Yuan, and I can only catch big fish by putting in a long line, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "click". Song Xueyang shook his phone and said with a smile, "I will send this photo to the God of War team to remind them. If you don't want fans to see traces of your body, Just finish the wild card game peacefully."

"You!" Xiao Zhang stood up angrily.

Song Xueyang put away her mobile phone, her eyes were icy cold, "If it wasn't for you to still have this last bit of value, just because of your insults to Shen Huai all the time, I would have dealt with you a long time ago."

Xiao Zhang's face was flushed, but he didn't say a word.

Shen Huai lowered his eyes, "Think about it yourself, let's go."
