After the morning game, Lu Xinlei did not delay for too long, and she had no reason to delay - in the afternoon BO3 match, as a player who might get a chance to play, she usually had to sit on the bench.

So after a brief encounter with the girls who can claim to be their sisters, the girls still have to make some preparations for their slightly deviant serious work.

"How did it feel about the first offline competition?"

"I can't play in the first game, how can I feel."

Facing the question of Xia Zhen, the No. 1 player, who is also a substitute teammate who is also in the water dispenser, Lu Xinlei's answer has no deep meaning: "It's not that I haven't played in the stadium before...... In short, just play the game from a different position. ”

"That's what I thought when I first played."

It's just that the two of them who stood with their teammates and walked past the occasion at the entrance ceremony of the team, and now they can only sit backstage and watch the game on the big screen - the situation is a bit not good, to be honest.

"It's different from a big guy like you, I was in the regular process at the time, and I came in through the summer academy," Xia Zhen carried a can of canned coffee that he didn't know where to find it, "That's really a devil's training camp, about two weeks before and after, completely closed training camp, every day when I open my eyes is DOTA, and before I close my eyes, it's DOTA." ”

"Would you like some coffee?" The boy pointed to the paper bag behind him and asked casually.

"No, I'm caffeine allergic." Lu Xinlei shook her head and put the conversation back to normal:

"How does it compare to the current training volume?"

Girls who have never had a similar experience in any of their memories are inevitably curious: "With a big club like the Conquerors, the competition in the academy should be very fierce." ”

"It's very intense." Xia Zhen swallowed a sip of coffee and looked at the situation on the field through the window, "I haven't experienced the second training intensity in those two weeks. ”

"Not really."

"Anyway, I heard Brother Hai say that the training of the youth academy is completely selective, and the two-week training schedule is a direct copy of the home team's training plan before Ti, although I, as well as those young people who were with me at the time, were mentally prepared, but at first I just felt that it was just a change of position to play the game."

In fact, there is something in the words of the teenager who is not much older than Lu Xinlei: "I was 17 years old at the time, I didn't finish high school, I studied for two years, and I felt that I had no future - to be honest, I was afraid, I was a good student in the eyes of others at the time, but this good was all pretended by me, and if I couldn't copy it, I would act out that I had failed the exam, and it was smooth sailing all the way to the second year of high school, but I was afraid of the college entrance examination immediately." ”

The girl didn't know what the teenager was doing when he suddenly revealed himself, but the story told by the other party was quite interesting, and there shouldn't be any excessive expression, and he didn't interrupt Xia Zhen's monologue.

"In addition, Dota was really playing well at the time, so I continued to pretend by the way...... Pretending to have been taken by someone else, pretending to have been tricked by them into coming here. ”

"My family heard from the bad kids who 'brought me' to the academy that training here was hell. And I was expecting to be forced to go home by this hellish intensity of training, to continue my studies, to do the things that they thought I did well, but I didn't know anything about, and I knew that, so I knew I couldn't go back – I would be exposed. ”

"So."

The teenager patted the CRG logo tattooed on the left chest of the team jersey jacket: "I'll hold on." ”

"......" Lu Xinlei couldn't help but glance at this teenager twice, this was the first time she had talked to Xia Zhen alone and in depth, and in terms of family and future, she didn't have much room to talk to.

"Do you want to ask me what I'm talking about now?" The boy looked at her and grinned as if he wanted to laugh, "I'm a person who is afraid to go back and face those things, after the first official game, the only thing I want to do is go home, no matter what, whether it's repeating the whole high school, going to a technical school and entering the factory, in short, I don't want to stay in this circle anymore." ”

"Is it that serious?" Lu Xinlei narrowed her eyes, she had a deep understanding of this circle in her brain, of course she knew what kind of pressure it was necessary to show up on the playing field, but this reaction was still unexpected by her.

"Not so." The other party answered the question with a conclusive rhetorical question, "The small team is okay, and a big club like the Conqueror is indispensable for people to pay attention to." ”

"Who dug this out, it's spicy to me."

"How much have you eaten, send it like this, let me go, I'll be okay"

"I don't want to be too rude, you just retire."

"Can you bury it directly, play a chicken game."

"CNdota really no one?"

"That's already the slightly readable part of the commentary."

From 2018, when he joined the team, to the present, Xia Zhen has not mentioned it to anyone, but it is impossible for the rest of the team not to know this: whenever you search by the team name keyword, some similar statements will naturally pop up.

"I'll admit that I did play stiff at first, and it's okay to be said like that, but it's one thing to know, it's another to accept." The boy's throat twitched, "I'm scared again, to be honest." ”

"But you're still holding on," the girl leaned against the handrail by the window, the game on the field was not an extremely important thing for her, "how to say, is it because the pressure of the competition is not as good as the college entrance examination?" ”

"Maybe it's a sudden thickening of the skin." Xia Zhen straightened up, "Maybe it's because I do know that I can do better-"

"It's not interesting to say this suddenly, in fact, in the end, you still need to do more mental preparation, the more serious the better...... I don't think Yangzi can win this game, and when it's time for you to play, if you lose, the pot will be all on you. ”

"That's no way, if you lose, admit defeat," the girl's response was downplayed, "There's no reason to complain about this and that if you lose the game, especially not the audience-"

In other words, when you lose a game, it is reasonable to feel that your teammates are not strong.

Xia Zhen, who was on the side, looked at her indifferent expression, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only put his eyes back on the big screen in the venue outside the window:

"Alright, get ready, it's your time for the next one."

It's not abrupt to say this now, because anyone who pays attention to the game in the field can see that the team that occupies the Radiant side and is marked "CRG" has been weakened in this round of battles, and is only one step away from falling into the abyss of defeat.

Tornado is a team from the NA region of North America, and although the team is not very old, it is also a team with a considerable history - if you are concerned, they still have a certain relationship with the CRG club, and at one time even used "CRG" as the name of the team.

However, these business dealings did not affect the performance of the players in the field, and as they lost by one point to their opponents and missed out on the official continental competition, they naturally retreated to the second place and set their sights on this cup.

Although the NA division has always given the impression of being big but not strong, except for the S.F Saints team, it has a considerable player base, and even the NA division, which has the headquarters of W Society in the region, does not have too many other teams that can make a difference, and this team that can be quite competitive in the continental qualification competition in the NA division is actually only a second-tier strong team in other regions.

But that was enough to trouble the young conquerors, especially when Tornado took out the Underworld wurm in the last hand after seeing the Parker Great Sage Duo and the Centaur in position 3 that CRG had first pointed out, and this hero could play quite effectively against any of the first three heroes in the mid lane.

Even Yu Yang, who is strong enough to gain a foothold in the first team, the results of Parker's attack on the line poison dragon are not satisfactory, and he barely guarantees that his mending knife and level are already the limit, and he can't compete with the ruthless poison dragon online. And although the poisonous dragon has been slashed in the early stage of the past two years, there are really too many things that can be done when the online is completely free.

The second-skill Nether Poison, which can AOE destroy the passive skills of all units within the range, has a very lethal impact on the centaurs and Monkey King pointed out by the CRG, and this poisonous dragon even contributes a considerable amount of its own economy to the team to make up for the stick of Athos to increase control, under such a systematic attack, the stunted Parker has obviously become the key point for the CRG to be broken through.

Who can blame him for anything, Parker's battle against the Viper Poison Dragon itself is not a line that can play an effective role, and it is already a pretty good result to maintain the line not to be broken in the early stage, and Parker, who has considerable flexibility, can only be forced to give up more development space under the opponent's repeated attempts to break through, although he will not be easily caught, but even so, it is just a little time for his teammates to buy before the collapse.

Tornado's selection of the core position of the Terrorblade is not a hero that can give them enough time to regroup, and the conqueror, who did not go well in the early stage, must interrupt the rapid development of the Terrorblade during the short window period that Parker dragged out with his life, otherwise the combat power will increase dramatically after the mid-term, and with the update of large equipment, there will be multiple qualitative changes with TB enough to destroy all of their resistance.

But they failed.

The last sight the two on the bench in the backstage saw before leaving the window was that the fully developed Terrorblade had opened the highlands where the demonization was ruthlessly ravaging CRG, and in the face of the ranged attack that TB had obtained after demonizing with his high-quality illusions, the seemingly sturdy highland structure was quickly disintegrated like wooden chopsticks and paper bags.

Tornado, who had a huge advantage, did not immediately attack the exposed twin towers and bases, but safely dismantled all the three-way barracks, and then turned around and closed the formation in the direction of Roshan.

"It's now the third generation of Roshan, and in addition to Roshan shield and cheese, there are also refresh ball fragments."

"Tornado is playing very steadily, and the Conqueror's lineup actually has the possibility of a perfect group to come back to the situation, and Tornado knows this and doesn't give it a chance."

In the reverberating commentary in the stadium, the two water cooler guardians touched Hai Ziming in the front court from the backstage, and the youth coach of the conqueror was looking at the situation on the field with an unhappy face: "There is no point in delaying this situation." ”

"Brother Hai—"

Although he knew that Hai Ziming had already discovered himself and the girl next to him, Xia Zhen still greeted him politely: "What will you say next." ”

"It is estimated that they should come down in two or three minutes at most, Xinlei, you make preparations, the pressure is on your side."

The rich man glanced back at Lu Xinlei, and his expression seemed to be able to read some apologies: "I'm sorry, the first official game was such a stressful game." ”

"I don't have anything to do with it."

The girl looked at the ground and felt her heart beating, even if she had all the memories that belonged to a man, the owner of this body would inevitably feel nervous about the real test that followed.

But that's fine.

"Do you have any tactical arrangements for the next game, I should have a lot of ...... to play"

The desperate sighs of the spectators on the sidelines interrupted all their conversations, and CRG crashed directly into the opponent's arms with a wave of desperate attacks after knowing that the opponent was playing with a shield, although the narrow and complex terrain near Roshan Crater is suitable for conquerors with several teamfight skills, but the economic gap left by the previous game is too great.

After trying his best to kill the opponent's No. 3 position and support, the five conquerors who participated in the battle were wiped out outside the Roshan pit, and Sun Jianian, the core position who did not buy it, simply communicated, and chose to knock out GG directly.

"I think it's going to put a lot of pressure on you, but I still have to say it."

With the end of the game, the lights of the venue gradually brightened, looking at the players from both sides who walked out of the opponent, Hai Ziming pursed his lips, and then said: "It's up to you." ”

The girl raised her eyes from the ground and did not respond, but the iris reflecting the lights on the field seemed to burn with flames from afar.
