For Love of the Game

"3:0! The Maple Moon team still maintained the momentum of the group stage in the playoffs, and won the first game of the playoffs with a winning streak! Let us applaud and congratulate the Maple Moon team for advancing to the semi-finals! "

Applause poured in from all directions like a tidal wave, Juzi looked happy, she was happier than anyone else that Zhou Ning had won the game, especially when she thought that she witnessed his victory as a commentator, she couldn't be calm for a long time.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also sent blessings one after another.

[6666!Congratulations to Fengyue for advancing!Ning Shen is on full fire tonight, so handsome! 】

[Congratulations to Fengyue for tearing up the traitor!See you in the semifinals! 】

【Congratulations!This year's Fengyue is really much better than last year's. I remember last year when Fengyue played 3 games in 0th and [-]th, Fengyue narrowly won. 】

【Ha ha ha ha!Because of the Feather God, the arena is the leader! 】

At the end of the game, both players shook hands.

Fan Hao was convinced of the loss, "Okay, Snow God, my skills are not as good as others, and if I lose, I lose. In the semi-finals, you guys have to bring us to cheer!"

Seeing that he was so frank, Shen Huai felt something was wrong, and turned to Zhou Ning with a flat expression. It seems that he didn't know that Manager Wang asked Zhou Ning to buy and win in private.

Song Xueyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, see you next year."

Fan Hao nodded, and shook hands with the others one by one to say cheers.

Sun Yuan was killed 0-6 this night, knowing that he was not welcome, so he didn't come over to make trouble.

Song Xueyang bypassed him and walked in front of Manager Wang, "Manager Wang, thanks to your care, my team members did not disappoint you, did they?"

Manager Wang was so angry that he rolled his eyes and couldn't say a word. Song Xueyang patted him on the shoulder again, and said with emotion, "During my most difficult time, you bought the crooked melons and split dates in my basket. This kindness Juniors will never forget."

This time, Sun Yuan was also trembling with anger.

Shen Huai was close and heard Song Xueyang's words completely. He shook his head helplessly and looked at Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning and Zhou Jing were shaking hands with Supper's conjurer. I don't know each other anymore.

There was a faint smile on Zhou Ning's face, with a gentle and handsome face. Zhou Jing stood beside him quietly, not speaking, but the posture standing next to Zhou Ning was like his brother's protector. There is no room for half a grain of sand.

Shen Huai was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere in the team, and felt warm in his heart.

Song Xueyang came from behind and gently hugged his shoulders, and said sincerely, "Thanks for your hard work."

Shen Huai thought of Song Xueyang asking Brother Kun to help him find a hot towel, "I don't find it hard to win the victory with the team."

He didn't feel another kind of happiness until he participated in the competition as a professional player-the team's victory.

It was a fruit sweeter than his personal victory, and it was a taste he had never tasted before.

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

After the game, Zhou Ning went to the bathroom with his teammates, but met Guan He who was waiting there at the door.

It wasn't that Zhou Ning was thinking too much, but that Guan He was obviously waiting for him, Hai Xing greeted him warmly, Song Xueyang stretched out his hand to hook him, strangled his neck and dragged him away.

"Zhou Ning, you have to do post-match interviews later, so come back early."

Zhou Ning responded, a little embarrassed, but he didn't leave. He still wanted to ask Guan He for help.

Guan He looked at his slightly flushed face because of happiness, and said sincerely, "Congratulations."

Zhou Ning remembered that Guan He had sent him so many WeChat messages with the content of "congratulations" during the group stage, and couldn't help but joked, "Team Guan started blocking people in the bathroom?"

The half-joking tone was a bit coquettish because of the master's good mood. Guan He wanted to touch his head, but Zhou Ning avoided it.

He withdrew his hand embarrassingly, "I happened to pass by."

Zhou Ning thought that the young master really doesn't know how to lie, so he nodded, "I have something to ask you."

"what?"

"Do you have any dark history with Manager Wang?"

Guan He also guessed, "Go back and send your email."

"Okay." Zhou Ning smiled slightly. Guan He's blunt and reticent personality was also within the scope of his appreciation. "Then... I'll go back first. See you in the finals, Team Guan?"

Seeing him smile, Guan He also felt happy. He twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly, "See you in the final."

Zhou Ning waved his hand and ran away briskly.

The post-match interview was with Zhou Ning and Zhou Jing. It was the first time for them to fight as a duo. Song Xueyang intended to let them show their faces more. Especially Zhou Ning played three games today and performed well. The reporter also wanted to ask him a lot.

The rest stayed in the waiting room, and Haixing pestered Song Xueyang to give out red envelopes.

He was lucky today, he killed Sun Yuan twice by himself, and 1000 yuan was enough for him to buy a figure for the sixth anniversary.

Song Xueyang disagreed, and would post it after the meeting at night.

Hai Xing snorted, "He's such a good man for managing money at home."

"No, no," Song Xueyang shook his head repeatedly, "I'm definitely a good husband who handed in all his salary cards."

"Say it like you have a girlfriend."

"Say it like you know I don't."

The two stared for a long time, and Haixing ran up to Shen Huai, "Shen Huai, does he have a girlfriend?"

Shen Huai opened his mouth and said, "No."

Starfish turned her head and made a grimace, "You liar, just brag!"

When Zhou Ning was being interviewed, Guan Helai gave Song Xueyang something wrapped in a black cloth bag, and Song Xueyang guessed it when he touched it.

"Thank you."

Guan He waved his hand and left.

Shi Yi asked curiously, "What is this?"

Song Xueyang put the cloth pocket into the bag, smiled authentically, "Souvenirs."

Shi Yi: "..." Please be more serious when perfunctory me.

Back at the hotel at night, Song Xueyang took out the camera from his cloth pocket, and sure enough, he found a photo of Manager Wang handing over the check to Zhou Ning. The time on the photo showed that it was just the day before the competition.

Shen Huai took a look, "Why is this thing in the hands of Team Guan?"

Song Xueyang fiddled with the camera, "It should have been taken away by Team Guan after it was discovered, but this camera has the function of automatically uploading to the cloud, so Manager Wang still has stock in hand, and he was the one who sent me the photos before the game."

Shen Huai nodded.

Thinking about it now, it must have been Manager Wang who broke up with Zhou Ning at that time, so he secretly sent the photo to Song Xueyang in an attempt to make him suspicious.It's a pity that Song Xueyang has never been a person who can be judged casually.

On the contrary, Manager Wang's move was extremely insidious, no matter whether Zhou Ning agreed or not, he would fall into the trap.

"What are you going to do?"

Song Xueyang put the camera in the suitcase, "Zhou Ning doesn't like others meddling in his hands, he will definitely solve this matter, we just need to push the envelope."

Thinking of Zhou Ning's valiant and heroic demeanor in today's game, Shen Huai was also relieved. Zhou Ning looked weak and easy to talk, but in fact he was really a person with a clear distinction between love and hate, and a clear mind. Manager Wang made this move from the very beginning. Wrong direction.

"What if the person called by Manager Wang is me?" Shen Huai thought on a whim.

Song Xueyang stopped the hand that was pulling the zipper of the suitcase, and forced Shen Huai to the wall, "Then we won't win the first three games tonight, but the last three games."

Shen Huai was slightly taken aback, and belatedly realized that Song Xueyang was referring to giving up in the first two games, starting from the Supper match point to fight back.

Such a desperate counterattack will definitely cause an uproar on the Internet, and it is equivalent to slapping Supper severely in front of the audience across the country. Just imagining that scene feels exciting.

A faint smile appeared between his brows and eyes, "I won't agree, why are you so angry?"

"I know you won't agree," Song Xueyang said casually, "If he dares to ask you out for coffee, it will be a death penalty."

Shen Huai was dumbfounded, co-authoring is because of this.

"So I won't be able to go out for coffee with other people anymore?"

Song Xueyang stopped talking, and looked at him with aggrieved eyes, like a little bitch who found out that her husband hadn't come home all night.

Shen Huai felt that Song Xueyang knew him so well, it was a little cheating, he didn't have too much romantic longing for love, his only wish was to find a partner who respected him and understood him, this was really too much for Shen Huai, who was not good at talking and advocated freedom. important.

And the tacit understanding between Song Xueyang and him needless to say, he not only satisfied all his requirements, but also brought him the fantasy that he gave up for this.

After being with Song Xueyang, Shen Huai really felt a lot more relaxed.

He pinched Song Xueyang's face, "Okay, I'll just drink coffee with you."

Song Xueyang smiled all over her face, hugged him and kissed him, while Shen Huai also held his neck unequivocally.

The atmosphere was just right, the door on the side was suddenly knocked open, and the two separated like an electric shock.

Starfish stood at the door in a daze, "Hold... sorry, I didn't expect the door to be unlocked, I wanted to knock..."

Song Xueyang held Shen Huai's face and pretended to help him blow his eyes, "It's okay, something got into Shen Huai's eyes, I'll blow it for him."

Hai Xing's head is still a little dazed, he just vaguely saw the captain and Shen Huai seem to be kissing, but the expressions of both of them are very natural, and this idea is so incredible that he believed it in a daze.

"Have you packed it? Everyone is urging you to go to the meeting!"

After the meeting, it is good to give out red envelopes.

The latter sentence is well known to several people.

Song Xueyang said two words with a smile, "Wait."

Starfish shuddered and ran away.

After 10 minutes, Song Xueyang and Shen Huai rushed to the meeting room.

The team members expressed warm welcome and sincere expectations for Song Xueyang's arrival. Song Xueyang briefly analyzed tonight's game, and then it was time for the popular red envelope distribution.

In the 6V6 team battle, each head was 1000, and a total of [-] were sent out.Hai Xing looked at her WeChat balance happily, and from the corner of her eye, she noticed that Shen Huai's screen displayed a transfer of [-].

"Why is Shen Huai one thousand? He obviously only killed Sun Yuan once!"

Song Xueyang said with a smile, "Single out in the ring, double."

"I don't accept it! You didn't say it before the game!"

"The final interpretation right of this activity belongs to the sponsor."

Everyone: "..." Captain, is your bias so obvious?

It was nearly 11 o'clock when everyone returned to the room after the meeting, but this turbulent night had just begun.

Zhou Ning knew that with Manager Wang's character, he would never let him go, so he planned to act preemptively, revealing all the black history of Manager Wang's old sesame seeds and rotten millet through losing this game, and then even if he wanted to Netizens won't believe it if they take revenge on themselves.

As a result, when he opened the mailbox and saw the information Guan He sent him, he was shocked.

What kind of black history is there? It's simply fresh mine watermelon just picked from the field!

It included all kinds of shameful things that Manager Wang has done since the start of this year's group stage. It turned out that he was not the only player he tried to bribe!What's even more frightening is that there are records of his and Team Fan's female fan inside!

Manager Wang coaxed the female fan to open a room by promising to help her date Fan Hao, but in the end the female fan was sent away without even seeing Fan Hao in person.

The more Zhou Ning looked at it, the more frightened he became. Every item in it was well-documented, and he couldn't imagine how Guan He found these in such a short period of time.

He tried to send these materials to a reporter in the industry who had a good relationship with him. The reporter was usually too busy. Zhou Ning always had to spend a lot of time looking for him. As a result, tonight was like waiting in front of the computer. As if he sent an email, he replied with an OK in seconds.

The reporter's work efficiency was very fast. In less than an hour, the news that the manager of the Supper team bribed the players and seduced the fans of the team spread all over the Internet. Manager Wang had just finished taking a shower and was thinking about how to take revenge on Zhou Ning when he was pushed by this overwhelming news I was shocked by a thunderbolt from the blue.

This happened too suddenly, as if it had been brewing for a long time and was waiting to explode at this moment. It was so fierce that it was too late to suppress it.

He immediately posted on Weibo explaining that the other party was slanderous, and he would definitely use legal means to defend his rights. As a result, within 10 minutes, the victim stood up and exploded the chat recordings of the two of them. Manager Wang was slapping him in order to prevent leaving any clues. He communicated on the phone, and even sent voice messages on WeChat, but he never expected that these would turn out to be incriminating evidence that he could not refute.

Manager Wang's behavior aroused public outrage across the Internet. Bribing players to fight fake matches is already an unforgivable crime, and seducing female fans is even more unforgivable.

CAO fans are very disgusting news in any circle, what is even more disgusting is that Manager Wang's CAO fans are not his own fans, this kind of behavior is simply disgusting!

However, Manager Wang collapsed in one night. Supper just lost the game and was on the cusp of the storm. He really couldn't stand such a toss. Before dawn, the official club of the Supper team released the news that Manager Wang had been dismissed.

Netizens raised funds to encourage the victimized female fans to use legal means to defend their rights. In addition to losing their jobs, Manager Wang also faced the danger of being involved in lawsuits.

For this result, Zhou Ning himself was very surprised. He never expected that things went so smoothly, and Manager Wang fell down like this, without even having time to say a bad word about him.

Because of his entrustment, the revelation did not mention the players who had been bribed by Manager Wang, nor did it mention that the victimized woman was Fan Hao's fan. Everything went smoothly as if the script had been written in advance.

What he didn't know was how much Song Xueyang and Guan He had done for him behind the seemingly smooth progress.

He is no longer the boy who came to Shanghai alone to work hard, heavily in debt and lonely. Friends are his most abundant savings.

The game on the second day was God of War VS Dream Team. As a rookie team, it was not easy for the Dream Team to make it all the way to the playoffs. A strong team, a dream team can be said to be difficult to move forward.

Shen Huai and his teammates watched the live broadcast of this game in the conference room. The captain of the dream team, Luo Lie, is an assassin player like Shen Huai, but his way of adding skill points is completely different from Shen Huai's. The enemy is knocked into the air, combined with the mid-range and long-range chain sword to continuously control the output of violence, because the combo time is very long and the fault tolerance rate is relatively low.

As an Assassin player, it is inevitable that they will be compared. With Cang Yu, the ancestor of the Assassin, Luo Lie's operations are very ordinary.

On the contrary, Shen Huai felt that his style of play was very spiritual. To think of such a violent combo also means that he has a very deep understanding of assassins. He is still young, and sooner or later he will shine in this arena.

The Dream Team was finally eliminated with a score of 0:3. The immature young man's face was full of heaviness and frustration. When Shen Huai saw someone cleaning up the keyboard, he secretly wiped his tears, and felt like he was being pulled by something.

He thought about what Shi Yi said earlier that many members of the dream team were still students, and the team would be forced to disband if they didn't get their grades, and he sighed silently.

On the third day, the schedule of the National Finals reached the last round of the eight-to-four competition. The two participating teams were WG and Thunder.

This is not only a competition for the last place in the semi-finals, but also according to the principle of not playing in the same group in the playoffs, the winning side will be Maple Moon's opponent in the semi-finals.

Fengyue is very familiar with these two teams, and went to watch the match on the day of the game.

The Thunder went from losing in the group stage to the resurrection match this year. It was a bumpy road. In the first round of the quarterfinals, they didn't meet their old opponent Fengyue, but they ran into last year's third-place team WG. It can be said that there is no hope.

There are two WG super-level players, captain Zhang Jiayan and vice-captain Jia Yunge, Liang Minghui is also a famous player on the fire method list, and only the old driver is relatively famous in Thunderclap.

Si Qianjin obviously knew that this might be the last game that the Thunder played in front of the national audience this year. The audience was almost full of energy, directing the players to attack and retreat, and arranging the order of the players to play. Zhang seriously pulled his neck and directed.

This kind of atmosphere has infected everyone in Maple Moon, let alone fans of Thunder. It can be said that as a team that ranks in the middle of the top eight teams, Thunder can have a popularity that is not inferior to the third-place team. Work hard on this one.

This night, the Thunder players were in full swing. They won two games in the hands of WG, and finally lost 2:3. Although they lost, it can be seen from the expressions on the players' faces that they No regrets anymore.

After the game, the players from both sides shook hands. Both teams were full of positive energy, and the atmosphere was very high when shaking hands.

Shen Huai saw a fine layer of sweat oozing from Zhang Jiayan's forehead, obviously he also tried his best in tonight's game.

Afterwards, the fans left the stage and Shen Huai also stood up, but Zhang Jiayan suddenly jumped off the stage. This action made the fans who hadn't left the stage excited in an instant, stretching out their hands one by one to squeeze towards him, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Leiting and Fengyue who were still at the scene turned their heads, the cameras in the live broadcast room were still on, and the audience who were guarding in front of the computers also saw this scene.

I saw Zhang Jiayan running through the crowd vigorously, ran up to the commentary stand in three steps at a time, picked up the microphone under the astonished gazes of the three commentators, and shouted loudly.

"Cang Yu! I'll be waiting for you in the semifinals!"

His fists were raised above his head, his words were sonorous and powerful, and his firm eyes were like a warrior rushing to the battlefield. The determination in his eyes shocked everyone's hearts through the lens.

There was a buzzing in Shen Huai's ears, and his heart was beating violently.

He couldn't wait to compete with Zhang Jiayan, and his excitement could not be calmed down for a long time.
