Chapter 208: Quota Competition
"What do you mean?"
Listening to Uncle Gen's words, I was a little puzzled, and I didn't know what he meant.
Uncle Gen took a puff of his cigarette and did not answer my question, but continued to ask, "Do you think your current dream is a dream?" ”
"Huh!?"
When I heard this, I was even more puzzled, and I was puzzled, but I still nodded, "Yes, my dream is to stand on the most brilliant e-sports stage." ”
"No, it's not your dream." Uncle Gen shook his head.
I was confused by his words, this is not my dream, so what is it?
"Do you think what you're holding on to now is a dream? It's just a thought on your mind, and it's too far away to call it a dream. You are well fed now, well dressed, have books to read, have no suffering, life has not fallen to the bottom, there is no predicament, life is full of hope, even if you are now, it is difficult to meet opponents with your own team, with your strength, it is as easy as finding out for the top eight, I don't understand, what do you have to complain about? Just because of a letter of recommendation from someone else, does it make you lose your heart? ”
Uncle Gen spoke quickly, but I listened to every word in my heart, and his words rumbled in my heart like Hong Zhong Dalu, and I was shocked by his words.
"When you really insist on what you want to do in the midst of the toughest difficulties, that thing is your dream."
After saying these words in one breath, Uncle Gen stopped and looked at me, I was a little stunned at this time, and my mind was full of his previous words echoing.
Indeed, I'm living a good life now, I haven't fallen into the bottom of my life, and I haven't fallen into any desperate situation, I really have no reason to complain about anything, maybe it's because of the discontentment in my heart that I will breed that kind of affection, Uncle Gen is right, the idea that arises when I'm okay, is that called a dream? That's just an ordinary thought!
The real dream is to use it as motivation to persist in the midst of difficulties, that is called a dream!
If one day, my life falls to the bottom and the road ahead is uncertain, can I really hold on to my current dream? If not, the dream I'm now swearing to talk about is nothing more than a joke.
I kept nodding my head, Uncle Gen's words made me a little enlightened.
"The reason why I say this is to let you understand that only if you can stick to your dreams in the most difficult years, then one day, your dreams will come true." Uncle Gen was smoking, and there was a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"At the beginning, a few of us old guys, one person ate a bowl of instant noodles a day to live, at that time, domestic e-sports had not yet risen, and there was no sponsorship, sometimes we didn't eat in order to train, save money, and we also suffered a lot of people's eyes, but we still have to live a life, and we can get through it by gritting our teeth."
Uncle Gen said lightly, but I know that they must have had a harder time than he said at that time.
"But it's okay, we persevered in the end, and the effort will always pay off, no matter how big or small."
I kind of understand the meaning of Uncle Gen's previous sentence "If you want to go to heaven, go to hell first", if you can't bear the suffering, then you can't break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.
Saying that, Uncle Gen grinned, "You are now, just put your mind and play well, don't think about the rest, if you really choose to take this path, then the difficult days have not yet begun, and when you go through that time, you will understand." ”
I don't understand Uncle Gen's words, but I still wrote them down, and under his words, my originally dull heart gradually improved a lot, although I was still a little depressed, but at least I knew that there was nothing to complain about.
"I'll tell you, in those years, we were miserable."
Uncle Gen seemed to recall his past memories, and after seeing that I had returned to normalcy, he immediately started the nagging mode, and directly incarnated as a menopausal aunt chattering with me.
I'm also happy to listen to the past of their crows team, but Uncle Gen didn't talk about the past at all, he was all complaining to me, scolding the roe deer and the cat, and I was speechless for a while.
"Uncle Gen, since you are so powerful, why don't you fight professionally?" Seeing that he was so nagging, I quickly interrupted him and asked an important question.
Hearing this, Uncle Gen was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "When your hardest days have passed, you will really understand what you want, we, ah, there is no ambition to be the king of e-sports, my biggest dream is to get married, and then open a bar, work during the day, play games with friends at night, drink, enough." ”
I listened to Uncle Gen's words, and I didn't understand the kind of yearning revealed in his words, maybe I didn't understand, but I know that everyone has their own choices, and it is their own business that they have strength, who can interfere in their lives?
"By the way, Uncle Gen, I think the person in charge of the dream team seems to have looked for you, is it the matter?" Naturally, I was curious about what the leader of the Dream team was doing with the people of the Crows team.
When Uncle Gen heard this, he smiled, "That guy, just ask us to go out of the mountain, the strength of our domestic League of Legends has gradually been opened up by other regions of the world, when S3 and S4 were in China, they were able to win the runner-up on the world stage, and now, even the top eight are barely entering, which is unimaginable in the past." ”
I listened and nodded, with the strength of the Crows team, it is no worse than the top teams in China, if they can make a comeback, they may really be able to compete with foreign powers.
"Uncle Gen, did you agree?" I asked.
Uncle Gen shook his head, "What is there to promise to this, the banner of domestic e-sports depends on you young people to resist, what kind of fun do we have with a group of old guys, if we lose, we will lose, and it is not a bad thing, we will be ashamed and move forward, there will always be a day of transcendence." ”
Uncle Gen's meaning is obvious, the Crows team will definitely not make a comeback.
"By the way, Uncle Gen, are you from the mad team?" I asked another question that I desperately wanted to know.
Uncle Gen hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Hmm." ”
As soon as I heard what he said, I became excited, the mad team was a legendary team back then, but I didn't expect that the people of the crows team were really the former mad team.
"Is that mad wolf also a member of the mad team?" I asked.
Uncle Gen nodded, "That kid is very talented, we have instructed him." ”
Hearing Uncle Gen say this, I blurted out directly, "Uncle Gen, I also want to join the mad team!" ”
When Uncle Gen heard this, he shook the cigarette in his hand, "What kind of mess are you kidding, play your game well, the mad team is long gone, and you don't want to label the crazy team with what you have worked so hard for, you have your own way, and the crazy team is not suitable for you." ”
When he said this, Uncle Gen's expression was a little lonely, and he was reminiscing about the forgotten eventful years in the past.
"Okay."
Seeing Uncle Gen say this, I can't force it.
"Go ahead, I'll sit by myself for a while, don't disturb me."
With that, Uncle Gen drove me away, but I was in a much better mood, and when I saw that he didn't want to speak, I nodded and left.
When I returned to the hotel, Yang Baikun and a few of them were sitting listlessly in the room, because of the jungle of the Zhongchuan team, they were not in the mood.
But my mood has improved a lot, seeing them one by one with sad faces and hurriedly running over to comfort, Tian Bing looked strange, I went out for a while, just like a different person.
Fortunately, everyone is not a person who can't be seen, and Qin Fan and I are enlightening them on the side, and soon we will talk and laugh.
"Okay, seeing you like this, I'm also relieved, don't think too much, there is still a game when we go back, at least we have to enter the quarterfinals, right?" Qin Fan said with a smile.
We nodded in unison when we heard his words, we have worked hard for so long, just to get a good position, no matter whether the championship is related to us or not, at least we have to try our best to play every game!
After that, we gradually calmed down and worked on the rest of the games, and for the rest of the days, we won against all the other teams, except for the Crows team.
It can be said that in Group A, the Crows team is an undefeated god, and whoever plays against them will lose miserably.
After a long time, the teams in Group A have seen it, and everyone can't beat the Crows team anyway, and no one is qualified to laugh at anyone.
The game has been played for a long time, as long as there is a game of the crows team, people in other groups will watch it, in order to see how the crows team abuses and kills his opponents, so as to have a good time.
Because of the Crows, the other teams in Group A changed their course and moved on to the first place in Group A and instead compete for second to fifth place.
The SCR team in the new area, the JSG team in the north district, these are two teams that are no less than the fire team, we have played against them, they are both very strong, and we did not win easily.
Nine days passed quickly, and after the points settlement was completed, the first place in the four groups of ABCD took the lead in qualifying for one of the top eight, and our team's points also ranked second, becoming the biggest dark horse in this competition!
Joining us in the competition for the spot were Team Agni, Team JSG, Team SCR, and Team Orange Peel who were eliminated because the rookie was too good this time.
Originally, the points of the Nakagawa team were not low, but after a few days of the game, the teams in Group A basically knew how to deal with the Nakagawa team, after all, one god with four pits, once the Nakagawa team's jungler was targeted, it would be difficult for them to win.
I just remember that after the points were settled, the jungler of the Nakagawa team didn't say anything, and directly announced his departure, and since then, I haven't seen him again, I only know that his name is Xianghai.
It's good for us to be in the race for a spot, but I'm also worried that it would be a tragedy if we get to the quarterfinals and run into the Crows team in the first round.
Just when my heart was mixed, there was sensational news from far away Los Angeles!
