The first staff to restore the base to normal function returned to the building on the outskirts of Tongzhou about three days later, and shortly after their arrival, Lang Guangnan took his leave.

Anyone else doesn't really know what he's been doing and preparing to do since he declared that he's no longer going to pursue his career, but that's what he's dealing with anyway, and it doesn't have much to do with anyone else. CRG's newly promoted young No.4 has played well, and in the first half of the season, he has at least shown the quality of being worthy of the main players of the first team, and there is not much he can worry about in the eyes of the public.

In fact, his performance is similar, and he can almost be said to be extremely free in the half year that has just ended.

Other things are actually not what these people need to think about, although it is a little surprising to see the man sitting in the lounge after pushing open the base gate, but in the end, it is just a sentence of "after all, it is him".

This is just a small episode of the CRG club's youth base, after the arrival of the base quickly returned to all normal functions, the beginning of February is already the start of the continental championships, although as the second tier of CRG's affiliated team, TDG can not directly participate in the series of official cups including the Minor Continental Championship, Major World Major and Ti Global Invitational, but it does not mean that during this period, the team can rest freely.

There are still a considerable number of Minor's participating teams that they are going to collide head-on in the next league, and as a big stage for second-tier teams in other regions, there are also a lot of demons that can appear in the continental championships, most of which are due to the fact that some idea kings pat their thighs "I want to think that I can play like this" Most of the demons may not have any reference value, but it cannot be denied that there may be this version of the correct solution in these novel tactics.

Therefore, these games still need to be paid attention to by the coaching staff, and in addition to these factors, there is no reason for the players returning to the team to slack off.

The Minor-Major cycle in February isn't completely devoid of tournaments, as there are still a number of unofficial sponsors hosting third-party cups during the mostly student break, as well as the off-season for several regional leagues.

For a month, inviting a few teams that didn't play a game to play a dozen small games during the break between official cup competitions is a small adjustment for spectators who don't have a league to watch in the off-season - not to mention that it's not just spectators who need to play.

——————————————

"Brother Hai," after the training match in front of him, Yu Yang, a mid-laner player who was considered by TDG players to be the most likely to be the next to be promoted to the first team, took off his headphones and asked Hai Ziming, who was standing behind him, "What are the game arrangements this year?" ”

The mid-laner in CRG's main lineup is 26 years old this year, which is already the age of gradual degradation for the mid lane with high requirements for the lane, and his obviously shrinking hero pool is also confirmed by this.

He also dared to choose heroes like Shadow Fiend, Blue Cat and even Meepo at the 2017 World Invitational, but in the Ti8 season, the heroes he often got became Plague Mage, Captain and Xiaoxiao, who could not show off the steady characters, and by the first half of the 2019 season Capital League had ended, his hero pool was only Poison Warlock and Dragon Knight, which are stable at best, and solid heroes at worst.

In the face of such an opportunity, Yu Yang, who understands that he has a lot of support both in the team and in the management, naturally cannot give up lightly - he needs a bigger and more convincing stage to prove himself.

The C2 league is not enough, and the secondary league of the Capital League does not prove much, and only the results obtained in the cup competitions where there may be a C-League main mid-laner are convincing enough.

"I'm still looking at it," Hai Ziming held a stack of printer paper in his hand, and on top of the printed paper was his mobile phone - the club rules that players cannot get their own mobile phones during daily training time, although this rule does not apply to him as a head coach, he still feels that he should at least pretend to lead by example, "We played the Nanyang Cup last year, but there was something wrong with your visa...... This year, the organizer sent me another invitation, and I wondered if I should find a competition to be held in China. ”

"Hmm...... That's a problem, but it's okay on my side. Yu Yang stood up and saw the memo on the head coach's mobile phone, and after his eyes stayed for two seconds, he consciously looked away, "I'm an adult this year, and my visa shouldn't be stuck." ”

Hearing that the other party didn't feel that anyone else could threaten his position at all, and had already put himself in the single corner of the main force in advance, Hai Ziming scratched his head, and his eyes couldn't help but fly to Lu Xinlei, who was playing in a single row on the side, quiet as a chicken, and the noise-canceling headphones tightly buckled the girl's little half of her head, she should not have heard their discussion just now.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, knowing that Yu Yang knew what he was looking at, he reached out and picked up his phone, and put the printing paper in his hand on the table on the side, "The main reason is that ESL didn't grab the official event quota this year, and it was held in China...... Personally, I think it's better to play this game. ”

“ESL-one？ That's okay. Ge Haoran, an auxiliary player who ended the training match at the same time as Yu Yang, also took off his headphones and inserted a sentence, "Mercedes-Benz Cup, it's a good game." ”

Yu Yang also nodded, the Mercedes-Benz Cup comes from a well-talked about tradition of the ESL-One series, the first sponsor of ESL is Mercedes-Benz AG, a subsidiary of the Daimler Group, and the players who are selected as FMVP in this series of cups can mention a mid-range Mercedes-Benz car of the current year - or equivalent discount coupons, which really makes the ESL series more well-known.

Although ESL did not grab the naming rights and hosting rights of the six official 2+4 cups from other third-party sponsors this year, ESL-one2019, which will be held as a third-party event, should also gain a lot of attention.

"That's really no problem," Yu Yang nodded, "ESL is ...... this year."

"It's in Shencheng, and it's in the Meiben Center," Hai Ziming shrugged, "The Mercedes-Benz Cup in the Mercedes-Benz Center also complements each other." ”

"But, Brother Hai," Zhan Hongyi, the core who was still sitting on the chair, noticed that something was wrong, "How come ESL-one can't be our turn to invite directly, after all, it is also a brand that often organizes official events, and will come to invite us to a youth team?" ”

"The official didn't invite us directly," Hai Ziming rubbed his eyes, "They invited CRG directly...... But aren't we also CRGs? ”

"The five people in CRG have formed a team to play in a Major, and there is no rule that you can't form a few more people on the roster to play another cup - we are all in the CRG squad."

"Ah, this."

"We're really CRG people in theory, don't forget." The head coach cautioned, "Theoretically, we can't play Minor and Major because the official tournament doesn't allow the same team to play twice at the same time. ”

"That's the reason, but ......" Ge Haoran frowned and thought for a while, "What is the name of our entry form - TDG or direct CRG?" ”

"I may have to contact Shencheng to discuss this, anyway, now that it's finalized, I'll play this game...... This kind of cup competition is only played in February every year, and everyone has some energy," the rich and honest man who looked harmless put away his mobile phone and clapped his hands, "If you really want to finalize ESL, the big guy must be mentally prepared first." ”

"Although it is just the cup period now, and the powerful teams are playing Minor and Major, this ESL will definitely not be simple - the teams they directly invite are some big names at home and abroad, and the second-tier teams of those teams should be the same as we think." He looked at the young people in front of him, and by the way, he glanced at Lu Xinlei again, who was still playing autism-the girl didn't seem to hear his words at all, which also made him a little helpless when he wanted to try to raise his hand:

"So this game won't be easier than the most difficult rounds of the league, but don't be too nervous, the big teams are actually playing, or preparing to play in the official cup, we are still very competitive."

The boys nodded, and then continued their training at the urging of their coach.

In fact, after the base was launched again, there were a few young people in the TDG list who may never come back, or they felt powerless in the first half of the training, or they were persuaded by their seniors at home in the past few days during the holiday and got lost.

However, it is not a big problem, February is also the day of the opening of CRG's youth auditions, and there is no need to regret the departure of those young people who have no fate with this path, they may find their way on the road outside of esports, and there will always be a new batch of young people to embark on this road.

There is never a shortage of people with dreams in the world, and there is no shortage of people who feel that they have strength, but there are only a few young people who can really prove their sharpness after the wind and sand of reality.

This is in this ruthless society, one of the few fields that still maintains martial arts-style feelings, where a young man with talent and chance slashes a legend, and then is defeated by a more talented and better young man.

Because of this, the term dream chasing is not so ridiculous in the field of competitive sports.

The girl sighed softly, although the noise-canceling headphones were indeed powerful, she could still hear some clues in those conversations that were only a few steps away from her. She is not a stunned young man without emotional intelligence, after all the members of this team are gathered, it took her about two or three days to figure out the interpersonal relationship position and basic class that this team has become accustomed to.

The one who spoke most actively just now is located in Yang, whose game ID is called VAgard, is a recognized leader in the circle of these players, or even a recognized successor to CRG's first-line midlaners, and his words are sometimes more useful than Hai Ziming, the head coach.

However, judging from his performance in recent days, he is not a person who will abuse this kind of right to speak, although it is not clear whether he is easy-going himself, or whether he feels that it is still not suitable to have conflicts with the coach at this juncture, but all in all, he is a person who has the ability and desire to show his ability.

- The lane style is aggressive, and when you play some heroes without displacement and control, you can't help but press very deeply, dare to catch and dare to die.

With such a senior player in the same position, it is indeed unrealistic to want to grab a place in the competition with her qualifications, and it is a bit boring to say that this matter is self-inflicted, so the best way for her to deal with it now is to pretend to be deaf.

The other party will not feel any guilt, and there is no wishful thinking and boredom, so it should be the ideal situation for the manager to ignore himself like this and scrutinize the squad according to seniority.

If the other party is really smart, they should know what they want to do. Thinking so, the girl stretched out her hand and pushed her headphones, looked slightly in the direction of Hai Ziming, and shook her head slightly after finding that the other party was also looking at her.

"You don't have to think about me in this matter, I don't have to get involved." That's probably what she was trying to convey.

While this was a perfect opportunity for her, considering that she wasn't the only one who needed to take advantage of it, and wasn't the most competitive of them all, it would make things a lot easier to say that she had no intention of competing in this matter.

This kind of situation where you can't fight and will cause yourself a lot of trouble, it's best to get out......

"By the way, how do you think I can make a list?" Hai Ziming withdrew his gaze from the girl, "The squad is still the old rule, five starters and two substitutes can be reported, and our team now has eight left...... Which of you is willing to give up the position of virtuous? ”

"Huh?" Whether it was Lu Xinlei, who was eavesdropping while brushing the wilderness on the side, or the other team members who participated in the discussion after finishing the training in their hands, they were all a little puzzled-

Isn't it a matter of certainty who to brush off? Why discuss it. They are also a little strange, whether it is according to the strength that has been shown, or the run-in degree of the team, or even the seniority of the seniority, the list of seven people that need to be submitted in this competition is determined.

This fat guy doesn't really want to bring that girl over to play a regular game...... No way.

They glanced at each other, although Lu Xinlei had already played two training matches with them, but to be honest, these people still had concerns about the girl's strength. Judging from her performance in the airport training match, she is indeed very good at operation and smell, but it is still a little too abrupt for a little girl who has never had major competition experience to play the international cup directly.

The ESL-one Cup is not a pheasant race, in fact, at this point in February, there will always be some unofficial cups to fill the gap between the Minor and Major, and ESL is one of the best of them, although the timing of the tournament overlaps with the current Major, but the two different time zones will not compete with each other.

Even this unofficial tournament will increase its popularity because it coincides with the Major, and it is a bit fantastical to think about a girl who has only played in a college league in such a high-profile tournament.

Although it is not without a criminal record, most of the teams that are forced to poach players with no competition experience to play have no background, and established teams like CRG should not have such worries.

But in their eyes, Hai Ziming raised his foot and walked behind Lu Xinlei and knocked on the arm of her chair: "Xiao Lu, do you have time to talk about the competition list after this fight?" ”
