Chapter 138: Pre-Game Meeting (I)

The news of the victory of the Canglan team in the promotion match quickly spread throughout the e-sports circle, as the owner of the Longyin Club, Liu Chuan of course went to the scene to watch the game in person, and he came to the backstage immediately after the game.

As soon as I arrived backstage, I saw the four teenagers of the Canglan team surrounding Li Cangyu, their faces full of excitement and joy, especially Gu Siming, who was so excited that he was about to jump up. Li Cangyu was very calm, smiling and saying something to everyone, when he saw Liu Chuan, he came over and greeted: "Boss, we won." ”

Liu Chuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Everyone is good, go out for dinner tonight, I'll have a treat!" ”

Immediately the crowd cheered.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a handsome man walking towards him, Li Cangyu saw him, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a smile: "You also came to see the game?" ”

"Hmm." Ling Xuefeng nodded and said in a low voice, "Congratulations." ”

He stretched out his arms as he spoke, and Li Cangyu naturally hugged him gently, this hug seemed to be just the simplest congratulations between friends in the eyes of outsiders, only Li Cangyu knew how warm his heart was when he was gently hugged by the man in front of him.

Ling Xuefeng came to the scene in person, maybe he just wanted to witness his return to the league for this game, right? I knew he would come for a long time, but I couldn't help but be happy when I saw him at the scene.

The two hugged for a while, and the teammates next to them had to stop and wait for their hug to end.

Probably sensing the sight behind him, Li Cangyu let go of Ling Xuefeng, turned back to Liu Chuan and introduced: "This is Ling Xuefeng, the captain of the Wind Team, and this is Liu Chuan, the owner of our Dragon Yin Club. ”

Liu Chuan smiled and stretched out his hand: "Team Ling, look up for a long time." ”

Ling Xuefeng also stretched out his hand and shook it with him, saying, "Sichuan God, fortunately." ”

This is the first time that Ling Xuefeng and Liu Chuan have met, but the e-sports circle is so big, Liu Chuan, as the first person to retreat behind the scenes to become the owner of the club, can be said to be a legend that everyone knows and knows in the e-sports circle, not to mention, the scale of the Longyin Club is getting bigger and bigger, and now he has signed the miracle of the Canglan team, of course, Ling Xuefeng has heard of this person for a long time.

And Liu Chuan was very impressed by Ling Xuefeng, because among the player information of the miracle giant team that Wu Zewen had sorted out before, the 24-year-old Ling Xuefeng was ranked in the top of all counts, and he also led the Fengse team to win the championship last season, and he played quite steadily during the game, which was the strongest opponent of Li Cangyu's return to the miracle alliance.

The two shook hands briefly, and didn't seem to have any intention of chatting, Li Cangyu gently patted Ling Xuefeng's shoulder and said, "I'll go to dinner with the team first, and we'll see you tomorrow at the meeting." ”

Ling Xuefeng nodded: "Okay, let's get in touch again." ”

Everyone had just taken a few steps forward, and when they saw Tan Shitian, Cheng Wei, Su Guangmo and Yu Pingsheng walking towards this side, Li Cangyu couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really lively today?" Such a big battle to welcome me back? ”

Zhuo Hang immediately dodged behind Bai Xuan and pretended that he didn't save it.

Cheng Wei rushed over excitedly when he saw Li Cangyu, hugged him happily and said, "Cat God, cat god, congratulations!" Great, I'll be able to see you in the future hehehe! ”

Li Cangyu said unceremoniously: "Are you so expecting me to abuse you in the arena?" ”

Cheng Wei was unconvinced: "Maybe I abused you!" ”

Li Cangyu rubbed his head: "Wake up, how can you abuse me?" ”

Cheng Wei said: "I'm much more powerful now than before, I don't believe it!" ”

Tan Shitian walked over with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the cat god." ”

Su Guangmo also came over and said, "Congratulations." Then he reached out and patted Xie Shurong's shoulder vigorously, "Welcome back." ”

Xie Shurong was puzzled: "Senior brother, you arrived in Beijing so early?" Didn't the First Division start on May 10th? ”

Su Guangmo said: "Tomorrow the captain will have a meeting, Xiao Yu and I happened to come over to watch your game a day in advance." ”

Yu Pingsheng has been following behind Su Guangmo like a ghost, feeling as low as air, Xie Shurong looked at him, he only smiled lightly at Xie Shurong, Xie Shurong knew that he didn't like to talk, so he smiled back at him.

***

After greeting a few old friends, Li Cangyu took everyone to dinner with Liu Chuan, who had already booked a table of celebration banquets to reward everyone.

At the dinner, Li Cangyu took the initiative to stand up and said: "This time I can be promoted smoothly, everyone has merit, I salute everyone!" ”

Everyone immediately stood up and raised their glasses to touch: "Cheers!" ”

In retrospect, it wasn't an easy journey, but as we all know, the opponents in the second division were weaker than the intensity of the first division, and the game was already relatively easy. Winning the qualifiers today is just the beginning of a new phase for everyone. With just nine days to go until Season 7 of the First Division, they can't afford to let up.

After everyone sat down, Li Cangyu continued: "Tomorrow, Bai Xuan and I will go to the pre-game preparatory meeting, and the others will go back to Changsha to pack their luggage first, and I will give everyone a week's vacation, everyone will have a good rest, recuperate, and wait for May 9th to gather in Beijing to participate in the opening ceremony of the First Division League." ”

Liu Chuan had no opinion on Li Cangyu's decision, and said: "I will also go back to the club with everyone tomorrow, Cat God, remember to send me a schedule after you go to the meeting with Bai Xuan, and I will ask the team leader to book the round-trip tickets and hotels for the whole season in advance, so that it is convenient for you to arrange your training time." ”

Li Cangyu nodded and said, "No problem, I will send you the schedule to your email." ”

***

After returning that night, Li Cangyu took a bath and went straight to sleep.

During this time, his spirit has been highly tense, especially in the past few days before the promotion tournament, when he stayed up late every night. At this moment, the promotion match was finally over, his spirit relaxed, and he slept very deeply.

At noon the next day, Zhang Cianming woke him up before leaving for the airport: "Cat God, it's time for a meeting, you should get up!" ”

Li Cangyu rubbed his eyes and sat up, and found that it was already three poles in the morning, so he couldn't help but rub his sore temples, and said, "Why did I sleep for so long, and I slept until noon." ”

Zhang Cianming said with a smile: "Deputy Bai said that when you wake up, I will find him to have lunch together, and I have to go to the airport first." ”

"Well, you go first, pay attention to safety on the way."

When Li Cangyu finished washing up and came to the next room, Bai Xuan had already cleaned up. Hearing the doorbell, Bai Xuan immediately walked over and opened the door, raised his eyes and said, "You actually slept until noon, are you tired?" ”

Li Cangyu smiled and said, "It's okay, I feel a lot of energy after sleeping." Shall we go to lunch first? ”

"Okay, I'll go to the venue after eating."

The two of them had some lunch near the hotel and took a taxi to the venue, but due to the traffic jam on the road, the rest of the team had almost arrived by the time they arrived.

The preparatory meeting for the First Division of the Miracle League was held in an official hotel, and not only the captains and vice-captains of the major teams must attend, but also invited media reporters from many well-known e-sports websites and magazines, which was very lively.

As soon as Li Cangyu and Bai Xuan arrived at the scene, they were surrounded by reporters.

"Cat God, do you have anything to say to the fans this time to return to the First Division?" "Cat God, I haven't been able to get a trophy with a high gold content for many years in miracles and martial arts, and this time I come back, do you have the confidence to win the award?"

Li Cangyu smiled and said, "Of course, I am confident to win the award this time, otherwise what will I do when I come back?" ”

Journalists: "......"

This sentence is really domineering! Why do you come back without winning the prize? He's just coming back to get the prize!

A female reporter stepped forward and said excitedly: "Cat God, have you noticed that after the promotion yesterday, your Weibo has increased by tens of thousands of fans overnight?" ”

"Really?" Li Cangyu was a little surprised, then smiled frankly and said, "Thank you for your attention." I was too busy to surf the Internet before, and I will go on Weibo more in the future, although I can't post small jokes to make everyone happy like Team Tan, but I can share with you a lot of ways to eat fish. ”

Journalists: "............"

How to share fish? Cat God, you're an e-sports player, not a chef! We don't pay attention to you to see you eat fish!

A reporter ran over and asked Bai Xuan: "Deputy Bai, do you have anything to say?" ”

Bai Xuan glanced at Li Cangyu and said with a smile: "You can follow my Weibo from the friends of the cat god, and I will also go on Weibo more in the future to share with you the practices of various foods." ”

Journalists: ".................."

The Canglan team simply changed its name to the foodie team. The captain and vice captain didn't know how to talk about tactics, but they chatted happily about food...... Can I still have a nice time interviewing you?

Li Cangyu and Bai Xuan deserve to be the most tacit partners, and they fooled the reporters in a few sentences.

In an interview before the game, in fact, many questions are not easy to answer, it is easy to be slapped in the face if you amplify words, too modest and some people say that you are contrived, anyway, it is too wrong to say more, and many questions should be answered when the game is actually played.

Li Cangyu didn't want to become the target of public criticism because he was too high-profile before the game started - after all, the gun shot the first bird!

***

When the two walked into the venue quickly, many captains and vice-captains had already done it.

At the venue of the preparatory meeting, the captains and vice-captains of each major team are all fixed seats arranged in advance, and the team seats are arranged according to the initials of pinyin, and the vicissitudes at the beginning of the C word and the style at the beginning of F are just next to each other.

Originally, the seating arrangement was Ling Xuefeng, Yan Ruiwen, Li Cangyu, and Bai Xuan, but after Yan Ruiwen saw Li Cangyu coming, he politely stood up and shook his hand, and then consciously changed positions with Ling Xuefeng.

So, Ling Xuefeng sat down with Li Cangyu.

Li Cangyu glanced at Yan Ruiwen, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: Deputy Yan, you are really sensible!

Yan Ruiwen smiled at him kindly and looked back at the rostrum.

The sense of the vice-captain of the style is also relatively weak, after all, with a strong captain like Ling Xuefeng, it will definitely cover up the light of the vice-captain.

But in fact, Yan Ruiwen was Ling Xuefeng's most powerful assistant, and he was worried about many of the daily arrangements of the Fengse team. Yan Ruiwen debuted in the second season, three years younger than Ling Xuefeng, and was a newcomer brought out by Yuan Shaozhe, the former vice captain of Fengse, and Ling Xuefeng often guided him back then, so he respected Ling Xuefeng quite much.

Knowing that Ling Mao and the two must have a lot of topics to talk about, he consciously changed his seat, which was enough to see how careful this man was.

Li Cangyu sat next to Ling Xuefeng, looking at his expressionless handsome face, and couldn't help but lean over and say in his ear, "I can finally be in the same frame with you." ”

Ling Xuefeng couldn't help but show a smile on her face, and lowered her voice: "Sit down, don't be photographed by reporters." ”

Li Cangyu said softly: "What are you afraid of, if you are photographed, you will say that I am giving you a battle letter, and I want to second you on the field." ”

Ling Xuefeng glanced back at him, just in time for his smiling eyes. This straightforward guy really challenges people's bottom line from time to time, if it weren't for the fact that so many people were present, Ling Xuefeng really wanted to hold down this guy so hard that he couldn't speak.

The two looked at each other, and on the rostrum, Nan Jiangang, chairman of the Miracle Alliance, finally sat down on time, and his deep and thick voice amplified by his microphone also sounded in the venue: "Colleagues of the Miracle Alliance, captains and vice-captains of each team, as well as reporters and friends, good afternoon." The pre-match preparation meeting for the Miracle Season 7 First Division has now officially begun. ”

――――――――

Chapter 139: Pre-Game Meeting (Part II)

Chairman Nan Jiangang doesn't like to speak, especially those official words, so every time the Miracle Alliance holds a meeting, it is particularly concise and crisp.

This time too, he first read out the notice of the Miracle World League about the format change, and then asked the assistant to play the format change on the big screen and explain it in detail.

"There are some changes in the regular season of the First Division compared to the Second Division, which is not divided into home and away, and the matches between Team A and Team B are directly awarded points after one game. In the First Division, one round is played at home, and another round is played away, and the home team is playing in the city where the home team is playing, which is the practice of previous years. ”

"But unlike previous years, in this year's First Division, the home team not only has the right to choose the map, but also has the right to choose the game freely."

"The so-called right to choose, that is to say, each game in the first division will play three games, three games can be a ring battle, can also be a team battle, the ring battle adopts three groups of connected wheel system, the rules of the team battle remain unchanged, whether to play the ring or a team battle, the home team can freely choose to match."

The scene fell silent for a while, and it seemed that many people did not react to the meaning of "free matching".

Nan Jiangang said: "If you don't understand anything, you can just ask." ”

Cheng Wei, the vice captain of the Time Clan, immediately raised his hand and asked, "Chairman, what does free choice mean?" ”

Nan Jiangang explained: "That is to say, the form of the three-game game can be freely chosen, and you can choose the ring and team battle. ”

Cheng Wei was stunned and said, "Isn't this very unfair?" For example, the Canglan team is strong in the ring, so they have always chosen the ring instead of team battles in the regular season, how will other teams play? ”

Nan Jiangang said with a smile: "The home team can be chosen freely, but the away team is up to them." If today is the home and away game of Time, Vice Cheng is more confident in Time's team battle, and can also choose three consecutive team battles. Nan Jiangang paused and patiently explained, "Each team has advantages and disadvantages, and the home and away teams will be exchanged in turn, which is generally very balanced." ”

"Oh, I see. If you choose an advantage game at home, the away game will be targeted, which is similar to choosing a map! Cheng Wei finally reacted to what was going on, scratched his head and sat down.

Zhang Shaohui, the vice captain of the ghost, raised his hand and asked, "Does the free choice of the game mean that the three games are chosen at will?" For example, when we are at home, can I choose one team battle, two rounds in the ring, or two team fights and one round in the ring? The order is also up to you? ”

"Yes." Nan Jiangang said, "To make such a change in the competition system is also to be in line with the World Series. The free selection of the game actually tests the players' ability to adapt on the spot. ”

Everyone finally understood the meaning of the change in the format.

In other words, when playing at home, you can choose not only the map, but also the number of rounds that will favor you. For example, if a team has a strong team battle, you can choose a team battle continuously, and if a team has an advantage in the ring, you can choose the ring continuously.

Of course, it is not possible for captains to pick the advantage game all the time in order to score more points in the regular season, so that the players in the weaker sports will not be trained and will definitely be eliminated in the playoffs.

The reason why a team can freely choose the number of rounds, in addition to relying on the strength of the key moment to score points, is actually more convenient for the captains to train on the weaknesses.

Chairman Nan Jiangang continued; "The playoffs are still a best-of-five system, and the same as the previous qualifiers, the order of team A ring, team A team battle, team B ring, and team B team battle, if the first four games are tied, there will be a tiebreaker random map team battle."

The main change in the First Division is the home-and-away round-robin of the regular season, which gives captains more freedom.

After interpreting the rules, Nan Jiangang asked the assistant to play all the player information of the eight teams in the First Division on the big screen.

Most of these player profiles appear in the miracle data compiled by Wu Zewen in Season 6. But when I went to the scene today, Li Cangyu found that many teams in the seventh season have changed, some of the old players of the team have retired and added new people, and some have changed the main force, and many names Li Cangyu does not know.

The biggest change should be the Cheetah team-captain Jiang Xu, and the vice captain has been replaced by Chen Anran.

Although Jiang Xu and Li Cangyu, the leader of the cheetah, are not familiar with him, they have at least heard his name, he is the strongest elven hunter in the Miracle Alliance at the moment. But how did the deputy captain of the cheetah become Chen Anran, Li Cangyu was a little dazed.

Ling Xuefeng saw that he was puzzled, so he leaned into his ear and explained: "The former deputy team of the cheetah has retired, Chen Anran has just taken over as the vice captain, he is the same age as Qin Mo, he is the Terran hunter who won the rookie award last season, do you remember?" ”

Li Cangyu suddenly realized: "I remember, it's the 16-year-old hunter player...... He's too young, isn't he? ”

"Well, I'm only seventeen years old this year." Ling Xuefeng said, "Jiang Xu asked him to be the vice captain, obviously very sure of his talent, the gameplay of the Terran hunter is quite special, and he will know it when he fights in the arena in the future." ”

Li Cangyu nodded expectantly.

Then came the schedule, with the Season 7 schedule being put on the big screen and a printed version distributed to captains and reporters.

***

The pre-match meeting ended neatly in half an hour, followed by the interview time of the major teams, most of the reporters will ask the players about their preparations, their views on the new competition system, etc., and the interviews lasted until half past five in the afternoon, and Chairman Nan Jiangang called everyone to the dinner.

The dinner was booked in the banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel, and the Miracle Alliance directly chartered the venue, the media reporters filled the hall, and the professional players were arranged in a quiet private room, with all eight teams and deputy teams present, and 16 people sitting at two tables.

Ling Xuefeng and Yan Ruiwen of the style, Su Guangmo and Yu Pingsheng of Feiyu, Tan Shitian and Cheng Wei of time, and Li Cangyu and Bai Xuan of Canglan sat at the same table.

Next door are Lou Wushuang and Zhang Shaohui of the ghost spirit, Chu Yan and Zhu Qingyue of Qingmu, Liu Xiang and Yang Muzi of the red fox, and Jiang Xu and Chen Anran of the cheetah team.

Li Cangyu, the other main and deputy team, had been in contact with the first World Carnival in the United States, and he was relatively unfamiliar with the two people of the Cheetah team, he just wanted to go over to say hello, but Jiang Xu took the initiative to take Chen Anran over, smiled and stretched out his hand and said: "Cat God, White Vice Team, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." ”

Li Cangyu and Bai Xuan also stood up, shook hands with him, and said, "Team Jiang is good." ”

Jiang Xu continued: "This is our new vice captain of Cheetah, Chen Anran, Xiao Chen, to say hello to the seniors. ”

"Oh." Chen Anran obediently picked up a glass of orange juice and came to this table to toast in turn, "Team Ling is good, Team Su is good, Team Tan is good, Team Li is good." ”

Li Cangyu was called "Team Li" for the first time, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he couldn't help but correct: "You still call me Team Cat." ”

"Huh?" Chen Anran looked at him blankly, this expression made Li Cangyu laugh.

This guy is indeed very young and small, his round face looks very tender, and he looks at himself with a blank expression, and he seems to be a little natural, if he wears a school uniform, he will definitely make people mistake him for a junior high school student.

――The gameplay of the Terran hunters, I can let Zhuo Hang study it well when I look back.

Li Cangyu smiled and clinked glasses with him and drank, then sat down and didn't embarrass him anymore.

After Jiang Xu and Chen Anran finished toasting, the waiter just started to serve the food, there was a plate of braised fish on the table, and before Li Cangyu could do anything, Ling Xuefeng consciously turned the plate of fish in front of him.

Li Cangyu smiled at Ling Xuefeng, unceremoniously sandwiched a large piece of fish meat and put it in his bowl, and buried himself in eating.

Everyone: "......"

I've long heard that the cat god loves to eat fish, but now it's true!

Everyone seemed to want to confirm whether he could eat a whole fish, and they all looked at him with blazing eyes.

Li Cangyu was very puzzled: "Don't you eat it?" ”

Cheng Wei hurriedly said: "Cat God, you eat, I see that I can be full if you eat!" ”

Everyone: "......"

The power of brain-dead powder is really terrifying!

Su Guangmo said: "The cat god belongs to the cat, this fish belongs to the cat god, what do you think?" ”

Tan Shitian said with a smile: "The fish are all eaten by the cat god, can you be merciful during the game?" ”

Yan Ruiwen also chimed in: "How about the cat god let us have a pet?" ”

Su Guangmo shook his head: "Where is one pet enough, we should let the two of us, let all the water elves and fire elves!" ”

Zhang Shaohui next door also interjected: "The fish on our table are also eaten by the cat god, how about the cat god let the thunder elf go?" ”

Cheng Wei couldn't help but say: "You want to be shameless, the cat god only has a few pets in total, how can you fight it if you let it all go!" ”

Su Guangmo smiled: "There are also wind elves, a gust of wind can blow us away." ”

While everyone was chatting, the ghostly Yu Pingsheng suddenly poked Su Guangmo's arm lightly and whispered, "The fish is going to be eaten." ”

Su Guangmo turned around and saw that the plate in front of Li Cangyu had been swept away.

Everyone: "......"

The cat god is really fast!

Before everyone discussed how many pets he wanted, he ate all the fish, leaving only the bones intact......

Li Cangyu, who had eaten all the fish, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, smiled and said, "Let a few pets, right?" No problem, I'll let all the water, fire, wind, and thunder spirits hide behind the trees when the time comes, so that you won't see them. ”

Everyone: "......"

What is this, this is even more pitiful, okay?

Looking at everyone's tangled looks, the corners of Li Cangyu's lips couldn't help but rise slightly.

Many years ago, every time after a party, many people didn't like to eat fish, so he grabbed fish at the dinner table, and others took the opportunity to bargain with him and let him put more water for everyone when he competed.

Today, many of the players of that year have retired, and many rookies have become the pillars of the teams in the Miracle League, but there are many customs that have been passed down.

――For example, the warm atmosphere when everyone eats together, and the jokes between the contestants that are not malicious to each other.

These people sitting here, in addition to having to live and die on the field, in life, they don't have any grievances or knots with each other, they can actually become very good friends.

Ling Xuefeng was right, the Miracle Alliance was his true home.

He had been away from the miracle for three years, and he had been missing his friends here, and now he had finally returned.

With so many familiar friends and rivals still here, Li Cangyu is full of anticipation for the upcoming seventh season.
