025 Conversations, Memories, Competitions

"Then you have to say something, who are you here to fancy here?"

There were no high-sounding polite words, and the two men who had already been familiar enough to know each other well and wash their underwear once every few days sat in the corner of the backstage, and from this side of the protruding platform could barely see the situation in the venue.

After Hai Ziming assigned tasks to the remaining members of the conqueror, he quietly threw his hands out and found this corner that was not unfamiliar to him with ease-and-as he thought, Lang Guangnan also sat here with two stools in the morning-

It was two stools, and Lang Guangnan probably expected Hai Ziming to come.

"Isn't that still watching?"

Facing the man's words, Lang Guangnan raised his eyebrows: "What, I said who I want to dig, can you nod and agree?" ”

"To be honest, I'm also leading the team, and I can talk to the club about this." Hai Ziming nodded, "But don't get your hopes up too much-"

"If you want to use your name to sponsor the whole team, then you can watch the national second-tier youth team, and even some of the main players of the first-team team, their financial resources are there, but if you want to do something yourself."

The man, who has been in the position of head coach for several years, said in a serious tone: "Your little capital can't make any waves in this puddle of water." ”

"How could I not know." Lang Guangnan sighed and looked out the window, although the view from this corner under the second floor of the grandstand in the middle of the stadium building was not good, he could still have a bird's-eye view of a considerable part of the situation, "So I just told you about this matter so far." ”

"That means, if it's too hard, don't do it?"

"Yes."

In this corner where there are no outsiders at all, the conversation between the two men can be regarded as heart-to-heart.

"You know who I am, and if I think it's really possible, you'll see my actions sooner than you hear the plan."

In other words, the things that he did not act first but only discussed with others were mostly fruitless and would not even begin.

"So what the hell do you think?" Hai Ziming took out a can of canned drink from the plastic bag on the ground next to the man's stool and opened it casually, "What do you want to do in this team, or what do you want to do?" ”

"Can you talk to me?"

Lang Guangnan, who was asked like this, paused, as if he was thinking about where to start the topic, and was silent for about three seconds, and it was Hai Ziming who spoke first:

"WDN〇D is Pepsi how *expletive*."

The head coach, who needed to control the sugar intake, immediately noticed that something was wrong after taking a sip of the drink, and took advantage of the light scattered here from the aisle, he could roughly see what the can in his hand was: "Why did you start drinking toilet cleaner......

"There were only two cans of Pepsi in this bag, and the others were either Coca-Cola or beer...... You just got the toilet cleaner. ”

Lang Guangnan, who found the head to speak, smiled: "You like to take things from right to left in the row close to you, but you won't take the first one, no matter what." ”

The man turned sideways and picked up a can from the outside of the two rows of cans, that is, the side close to Hai Ziming, and from the direction of the other party, this was the first can from the right in the row closer to him: this was a green package of Qindao beer.

"You're cheating on me, aren't you?" Although he can't fall behind in his mouth, the feeling of "being thoroughly understood" actually didn't have any negative emotions for Hai Ziming, on the contrary, the fact that it was Lang Guangnan who understood him made him can't help but hook the corners of his mouth, "What about a can of Pepsi?" ”

"The first can in this row is counted from the left - the old cat is left-handed, he likes to take it from left to right, and he can't jump the first one."

"Hah-"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Huh. ”

The two men looked at each other, and the scene that should have been smiling was ended by two short sighs: "When we were still in Longmen, that time was here, Mei Ben." ”

"Yes, ESL in 2014 β€” five years later, ESL is back."

Hai Ziming, who was inevitably pulled into his memories together, slowly sighed at Pepsi, which he should have hated, while recalling the situation at the time:

"One thing to say, at that time, we were thinking about when you would retire, but no one expected you to stumble and fight for another four years."

It's a bad vantage point, but the hidden corner was found five years ago when they stumbled across the stadium between games, when the team's head coach forbade them to drink during the game, and it became a drinking spot for the hairy boys at the time.

Winning the game, taking advantage of the excitement, I asked the head coach to ask for half an hour off, and I blew a few bottles here, and then sprayed the old cat's perfume and a few spiritual guys.

- But the hairy boy here does not include Lang Guangnan, who was 25 years old at the time, even four or five years ago, he was considered an elderly player.

"Don't tell me you want to rebuild the Dragon Gate." Hai Ziming shook his head, and before he knew it, the blue bottle of carbonated drink in his hand had already been drunk by him, "When we are reasonable, we can be regarded as the top few strong teams in China, at least all positions in terms of staffing are top-notch; Although we didn't hit anything at first, we took off after this ESL. ”

"If you want to play a ticket to form an Internet cafΓ© audition team, then don't use the name Longmen, we can't afford to lose this person."

Although the name of the team was abandoned five years ago, for the teenagers at that time, these two words also represented more than eighty percent of their youth and dreams: "Then it's time for you to talk about it, what do you want to do with this team?" ”

"You mentioned the dragon gate first." Lang Guangnan took himself out of this stall of middle-aged and old-fashioned memories of youth, "Then I'll take Longmen as an example now." ”

"Do you think it was comfortable to play when we were Longmen, or was it comfortable to play under the name NW after it was acquired?"

"It's a bit mysterious." Hai Ziming scratched his head, "If you want me to say, we can all have a stable salary in NW, and from a professional point of view, NW is indeed a little stronger than Longmen." ”

"And how did we break up?"

The man didn't shy away from this topic, which might be a little sensitive, and asked bluntly: "I remember that the only one who has stayed in NW until now is the old cat." ”

"In the future, I went to CRG in 15 years with wood, and then slowly retired, and the big boss Ti4 began to cut prosthetic legs after that, and if you can't play well, you can't retire quickly......"

"I was originally the person behind the scenes, and I left when I left, but you stayed for 17 years, and you didn't hold on."

This NW, the first-generation NW, after stumbling to the top, didn't even have time to name its own dynasty, and quickly went their separate ways.

- And they have been playing for four years before Ti4 reached the top.

"Come to think of it, you can't be unaware." Lang Guangnan habitually wanted to touch his pockets, but he put it down halfway through his hand, "If you want to say that we didn't play well after Ti4, then when we were still Longmen before, we played a mess in the first two years, how can we play until 14 years?" ”

"Someone bought it."

It is impossible for Haizi to be unaware of this kind of thing.

The 2013 Dragon Gate and the 2014 NW have nothing in common except that the staffing is identical: the former is a team of six brothers who want to play games together and get to know each other and work together, while the latter is a professional team of five top players and a team leader who are officially hired by the consortium.

The former only needs to play happily, of course it is good to win, and summarize the next game and fight back if he loses; And the latter must win - if you don't win, it will affect the popularity, it will affect the KPI of the entire Dota esports team, and it will affect the company's input-output ratio.

The No. 5 captain, known as the "Big Boss", was the first to announce his retirement after the end of the game that the brothers of Ti4 had expectations, and drew a line with this NW and the consortium behind NW, followed by the old cat who had the intention of retiring, although he did not leave NW, but he still became a manager.

A year later, it was announced that the first generation of NW, and the disintegration of the old "Dragon Gate", was the departure of Wood Woods and the core twin stars of the future group - since they are all part-time jobs, then why not give the higher bidders a part-time job?

Hai Ziming, who had been following the crowd, also completely retreated to the second line and no longer interfered in the affairs of the first-line team.

In this way, it was Lang Guangnan who survived as a player in NW - and he also switched to CRG in early 2017.

It's hard to say that this man didn't want to follow in the footsteps of his old friend when he came to CRG after being completely disappointed in NW, but it all came to an end when Lang Guangnan announced that he had entered a state of inactivity in the second half of last year.

It's time to draw an end, and the word "Dragon Gate" is now only suitable for staying in the memories of these middle-aged old boys.

"I don't want to resurrect or rebuild the Dragon Gate, I just miss the feeling of playing games at that time." Lang Guangnan thought about it, but still opened the canned beer in his hand, and then took a sip, "But I also know that this kind of brotherly feeling is hard to come by, so I said." ”

"You're just going to let me talk in my dreams."

The man let out a sigh: "But if I really look for you to poach people at that time, there will be no non-sale items in your team." ”

"Theoretically, no."

Hai Ziming pinched his fingers and thought for a while: "But if you want to dig that little girl, then I suggest you wait for another two years." ”

β€œοΌŸβ€

The empty can in Lang Guangnan's hand was accurately smashed on the head of the Conqueror youth coach who can be described by the four words "naΓ―ve and cute", and by the way, a fairly beautiful arc popped up: "If you don't be a matchmaker, you won't speak, right?" ”

Hai Ziming, who did cage several pairs of newcomers in the circle, didn't care about the other party's behavior of crossing the line, but just scratched the position on his head that was smashed by the can: "No, brother, I'm really worried about you, you see that you have been single for eight or nine years, and you should ......"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Regardless of what Hai Ziming's hidden attributes are under the series of labels of "honest and reliable" and "cute and cute", NW once again occupies an absolute advantage on the field on the game scene that they have not noticed.

The Mammoth Alchemy system pointed out by TRB was suppressed on the line from the beginning by the strong lane lineup pointed out by NW, Magnus in position four could not have too high a level to provide buffs to the melee core, and Magnus in position three could only guarantee that he would not be easily killed in the lane period.

With the need to go in advance to pull out the fourth position of development space for the alchemist, the disadvantage road has become the biggest problem in this TRB.

"Red Bull's No. 3 mammoth line is too weak--la-"

Of course, Mammoth is not completely unable to play the No. 3 position, but this game NW pointed out, and the dominant combination of Pat Bear and Ancient Ice Soul is too cold-blooded.

"The combination of patting the ice soul is to consume your blood, I can not kill you, but your mid-lane alchemy will not be better."

NW's mid-laner hero Bloodfiend has a rather distinctive passive ability, he can sense all injured enemy heroes on the map, and when the enemy hero has a certain amount of health, he will get a movement speed and attack speed bonus wherever he is.

This bonus stacks indefinitely with the severity of the enemy hero's injuries and the number of injured heroes.

His own inferior lane is constantly being played to keep the blood demon passive, and the dominant lane combination has no good way to face the opponent's forced lane mix of the third position, and the pressure on the two teams is completely different when both sides are wandering around the fourth position.

"I've got the pigeon line, and it's very uncomfortable for me to keep standing in the middle."

TRB midlaners who take the initiative to move closer to their own disadvantage have to admit that this lane is really difficult to play: the skill set that Bloodfiend has makes him a problem for all heroes during the lane period, his skill Blood Fury can increase the output and damage of a unit, and let this unit get healing when killing other units, and the Bloodfiend with this buff can be combined with passive, and the positive and negative complements alone can make the alchemist close to astringen.

"You can brush, you have to brush the ground quickly."

This abandonment of the line did not cause displeasure among his teammates, who were urging him to find development.

From God's point of view, at 10 minutes of game time, the economy of the TRB and NW of the alchemy lineup is completely level, which is not a good sign.

"Alchemy is still a long way from his own brilliance, and he is still nearly a thousand yuan short of even 3,800."

"And NW is going to find him, it's going to find him!"

NW Rank 4, who started to wander early, directly invaded TRB's jungle with his excellent control skill set, and the fully skilled Blood Fiend followed - no one else was needed, these two were enough to kill TRB's last hope alchemist.

"Can you go, can you go?"

The alchemist was unaware of this, his only task now was taking up too much space for his calculations, and he needed to fatten himself up, but his opponent didn't seem to want him to do it.

"A very deep offensive vision that NW did before has actually seen this alchemy, and the Mavericks are trying, trying the angle-"

"This ravine can not only kill alchemy, but also end TRB."
