Me: "To be honest, I was a little prejudiced against female players before I met you, but after I met you, I felt that both men and women were similar in this game, and there were no obvious shortcomings." ”

Xie Liuying: "As I said before, in general, there are no advantages or disadvantages between men and women in terms of games, but there are differences, and since there are differences, there must be shortcomings that most men do not have." ”

Me: "Well, I'll take a look." ”

On the night of the game, we took a bus to the venue. Although it is not yet the end of the year, and this year's game financial report has not yet been released, both players and operators can see that due to the efforts of all parties in the past year, the popularity and revenue of the game have risen gratifyingly. Therefore, the organizers of the event decided to strike while the iron was hot and use this open-roll cup to harvest more popularity.

To this end, the official has come up with two sets of plans for the venues of the finals, the first is to continue the venues of the previous knockout rounds, and the second is to hold an open-air competition by the sea when the weather conditions permit, although it is winter. However, S City is located near the Tropic of Cancer, and the four seasons are like summer, and the official design is so that the fans who attend the stadium can enjoy the "seaside midsummer night" while watching the game without too much heat.

The weather was good on the day of the final, so the tournament sent out a notice the day before to adopt the second plan. Since there is no light on the entire sea surface, the optical pollution of the seaside is relatively small, so the latest "stereoscopic projection technology" will be used to present the game picture.

The audience is enjoying it, and we players are more miserable, although there are many seats in the seaside open-air venue, there is no special lounge like the indoor venue. The organizing committee of the event temporarily set up two prefabricated houses as our rest and preparation areas.

On the way here, I flipped through the phone and said "Heavy! The coach of the Longyuan team suddenly fell ill or missed the finals". Players in the comment area almost overwhelmingly believe that your team will achieve an unprecedented "five consecutive championships" hegemony, and we will not be able to pose an effective threat to them without a coach, and the handicap on the external network has opened to 5 times the odds.

Other comments at the bottom of the article expressed regret and understanding for Comrade Zhou Zhenyu's temporary absence, and wished him a speedy recovery. Seeing this, I can't help but feel worthless for these kind fans, God knows that Zhou Zhenyu has nothing to do at all, he not only escaped this time, but has not explained the reason in detail. While I was curious about what he said about "something more important than the final", the championship is the most important thing for me right now.

After we arrived at the scene, we were guided by the staff to enter the rest area, and the pomp and circumstance of the final was really not comparable to ordinary competitions, and there was a simple opening ceremony and singing and dancing performance before the game. We, the contestants, are holding hands with the characters from our own games generated by stereoscopic projection.

In the debut session, my performance was not as calm as I imagined, although the stereoscopic projection technology made our performance not so strange from the audience's point of view, but I myself had to really hold hands with an air. At this time, I was a little envious of Qin Xianglai, who had just fought him, because his game character was a woman, which made him not have a grotesque sense of "holding hands with men" if he appeared on this stage.

In order to behave a little more naturally, I had to look for something else in the venue to distract myself. I tried to make my presence felt in the crowd cheering wildly, but my attention was quickly drawn to something extra in the room.

It is not very large, only about 30 centimeters high, and its appearance is very simple, in the form of a rolled bamboo slip, and the texture color is not gold or silver, but an earthy yellow with a sense of oldness. But this seemingly inconspicuous thing occupies the center of the entire stage, and all ten of our contestants are lined up on both sides around it. No spectator would have felt that such an arrangement was inconsistent, because that object was the championship trophy of the open-roll cup.

Under the watchful eye, the final of the most important open-book cup in the "Book Title" league officially began. We also do the last communication before the war in the microphone as a psychological conditioning.

Xu Zhiqiang: "You may not believe it, but I am more nervous than you now." Ma Dan, who has never played in the top league in his life, is the finals as soon as he comes to the stage. I suspect someone is trying to mess with me. ”

It may be true that Lao Xu said that he was nervous, but I also understood very well that he started with this joke to make us not nervous.

Liu Chuanhao: "Song Yi, please hand me the napkin next to you, thank you." ”

Song Yi: "What? Are you so nervous that you sweat your hands? ”

"No, wipe your nose." After speaking, Liu Chuanhao blew his nose.

Xie Liuying: "If you think about it this way, for that bright light, maybe this is her first time playing in the final, so she has less experience in the tournament than us, maybe she will be more nervous." ”

Zheng Mingchuan: "It's okay, even if you lose today, after the game, I will invite everyone to take a yacht to a nearby island to eat seafood." ”

Me: "I'm just waiting for you, but you have to be careful not to show it to the fans, otherwise tomorrow someone will say that we lost the game without guilt, and we will go to the seafood carnival that night." ”

Although everyone says so now, we all know very well in our hearts that eating seafood or something is just talking about fun. If you really want to lose the game, even if Zheng Mingchuan has a treat, no matter how good the scenery on the island is and how delicious the seafood is, everyone will definitely not be in the mood.

After a while, both sides were debugged and everyone entered the playing field.

Strategist: "Okay, then let's do what we said before the game." But I still have to complain, this military division is so stupid to operate, no wonder it is a live target. ”

As a former professional player, Lao Xu inevitably felt that the model of this military division was not flexible enough, and there was little room for operation. But the purpose of the role of the military advisor was not designed to allow the coaches of the two sides to compare operations.

And his so-called pre-game plan is also a countermeasure led by Lao Xu based on the sudden situation of Zhou Zhenyu's absence.

First of all, the coach is not there, and most of us are inferior to others in terms of command and tactics. Therefore, if you want to play some "big moves" unexpectedly, I am afraid that you will die a miserable death. Therefore, we took the most traditional four-one split to play the game. At the same time, the opponent's strength is already small, so it will be difficult for us to win if there are really no other tricks at all.

Lao Xu's countermeasure for this is that we make some changes on the basis of the traditional four-one branch. He, the military advisor, walked with me to the back mountain, and the command of the frontal battlefield was mainly handled by Zheng Mingchuan.
