Me: "I know that the public opinion environment is complicated now, especially in the esports circle, but I really haven't thought about it so much. Brother Xu, thank you so much for telling me this today. ”

Xu Zhiqiang: "Okay, the train is about to leave, I wish you to become a star player as soon as possible, and don't forget to share my piece of the pie at that time." ”

Me: "If I really become a star player one day, then Brother Xu, you will probably be a gold medal trainer a long time ago." ”

Xu Zhiqiang: "Okay, borrow your auspicious words." ”

As he left, he muttered, "Well, what's the point of the trainer, it's better to play the game yourself." ”

When he said that, I didn't know how to answer.

Four people from the owner and coaching staff were dropped off at the train station, and the five of us went back to the hotel to play. Luna generously extended our room fee for another three days, so that we could play in N City for a few days and relax the fatigue caused by continuous high-intensity training and competitions.

In fact, for us professional players, the team is the so-called unit of the average office worker, and now it is like everyone doing a big project at the end of the year, and the boss will give bonuses and take out a few days off for a few days.

I've heard that many companies will use this opportunity to engage in so-called "team building", nominally to increase everyone's cohesion, but the most fascinating thing about holidays is not that you don't have to work, but that you can temporarily gain a period of freedom to choose what you want to do. It's a pity that team building still has to listen to the company's arrangement, although there is no need to work, but there is no freedom at all, in fact, everyone just spends the holiday the way the boss wants.

When we returned to the hotel, we met such a group of people wearing cultural shirts to engage in company team building. We coincidentally shared an elevator with some of them to the upstairs, originally everyone bowed their heads to play with their mobile phones and ignored each other, silently waiting for the elevator to stop, but saw a middle-aged aunt suddenly "Huh", she said to Xie Liuying in surprise: "You are the one who is called what senior sister." ”

Xie Liuying was also taken aback by the impolite greeting from the sudden visit: "Huh...... Sort of, Auntie recognizes me? ”

This conversation not only aroused the interest of the other four of us, but also attracted the attention of the aunt and other colleagues in the elevator.

"Alas, my son has hung your poster on the wall now, at first I thought that the little girl should be a singing and dancing star who looks so good, but later I found out that she was actually playing games."

"Hehe, yes." Xie Liuying's expression was slightly embarrassed, we all know very well in our hearts that although the team has made some achievements now, there has never been an official mall so far, and there have never been any peripherals, let alone genuine posters or anything. Then it is obvious that this aunt's son must be hanging a fan-made poster.

However, this just verifies Lao Xu's guess, you can meet people you know in the elevator, which just shows that the popularity of the game itself has signs of being out of the circle, and it also shows that we people may really be able to become star players one day.

Song Yi: "Auntie, don't you like to play games?" ”

"You won the championship yesterday and my son didn't sleep all night in excitement. I don't understand why he likes you so much, but since we have met, can you please sign my son's name? ”

Xie Liuying: "Oh, no problem. ”

As she spoke, Xie Liuying signed the notebook that her aunt took out. At this time, the elevator door also happened to open, and the floor we were on had already arrived, so we got off the elevator first. The aunt looked at the words on the notebook and looked very satisfied: "Thank you, little girl, you write really well." ”

The four of us cast envious glances at Xie Liuying in the hallway of the hotel.

Zheng Mingchuan: "It's okay, Sister Xie, someone has already hung your poster." ”

Liu Chuanhao: "And people also praise you for your beautiful handwriting, you are all-old and young." ”

Xie Liuying: "It's just a coincidence, you will meet sooner or later." Don't talk about this, do you have any arrangements for the afternoon? ”

"Sing K, sing K!" As a contestant who turned from singing and dancing games, it is not surprising that Song Yi made such a suggestion.

Liu Chuanhao: "I've observed the playlists of several of our music players, and I basically can't listen to the songs together, and I don't think I can sing together, so I'm afraid it will be a little boring to go to KTV." ”

Me: "That...... Watching a movie? ”

Zheng Mingchuan: "What's that...... Actually, I have something I want to do in the afternoon. ”

Looking at the ambiguous look on his face, combined with the news Leng Zi gave before, we understood most of it in our hearts.

Xie Liuying: "Why don't you do your own thing today, let's move freely." ”

Liu Chuanhao: "It's okay, if we really want to talk about it, I'm afraid that the only common hobby is to play "Book Title". ”

Song Yi: "That's goodbye, I originally liked to play this game, but now I play every day, and I want to vomit when I see it." ”

The rest of us all four agreed, and it's true that when a hobby turns into a job, it's hard to continue liking him as a hobby.

Me: "Okay, then it's decided, let's have free time this afternoon, if there is anything you want to do together, squeak in the group, and see it together." ”

In this way, we each went back to the house to pack our things and prepare to spend half a day for ourselves. But the current situation can't help but worry me as the captain - our team is actually not cohesive. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was completely my own concern. Nowadays, many groups are just deliberately posing for a very close relationship, in fact, the people who work together are simply colleagues, and it is not easy for everyone to work together for the cause, how can it be just like-minded.

So, I spent the afternoon leisurely while eating and shopping, and at the same time I wondered if I would also be recognized by others on the street like Xie Liuying. I was drinking soup at a snack bar when I suddenly noticed something surprising.

Everyone knows that there are generally some special restaurants that will be patronized by celebrities, and restaurants will hang photos of celebrities visiting on the wall for their own publicity needs, so as to show their status and value to unknown new diners.

And I actually found several people in the e-sports circle on the wall of this store, including the gods who have won the world championship in the RTS field, the star players who often win five kills in moba games, and the popular streamers who have the top gun-fighting strength in FPS games.
