"Okay, that's all for today's training......"

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Guan Liang stood up and stretched out in his seat in the Internet café, and they have been training until this time every night for a while.

"Let's go back together, the weather seems to be starting to warm up lately."

In mid-March, Nanjing finally had a hint of spring, which was good news for most of the city's population.

"Let's get the weather normal, or I'll be in super pain when I wake up every morning......"

Bai Su echoed that in a dormitory without air conditioning and heating, getting up every winter is the most painful thing, and there is no one.

"Who let the school limit the power of the line, even the electric blanket can't be used, let me tell you that once I went to bed in the middle of the night and forgot to close the window at the head of the bed, but the next day I caught a cold and had a fever......"

On the way back, everyone talked about the various encounters when they slept and woke up in winter.

And suddenly at this time, Guan Liang's mobile phone rang suddenly, and Guan Liang picked it up and saw that the caller number was actually an unfamiliar number.

"Hey, who is it?"

"I'm your uncle......"

“…………”

When Guan Liang heard this voice, he immediately reacted to the identity of the guy opposite, and there was no doubt that this voice was his best friend.

"Why don't you talk, did I make the wrong call?"

"Yes, you made a mistake, my uncle is not that stupid."

After Guan Liang finished speaking, he directly pressed the hang up button, and then motioned for the others to take a step first, while he walked to the side and waited for another call, and sure enough, it didn't take two seconds for the other side to call again.

"Is it my uncle?"

Guan Liang said directly to the other side after connecting this time.

"No, no, no, you're my uncle......"

"What's the matter with calling me out of the blue? Shouldn't you be abroad now? Are you going to let me join your team this time? ”

Guan Liang asked the monkey directly that the last time the two met when they returned to China, the monkey invited Guan Liang to join the professional club he organized, but at that time Guan Liang rejected him.

"Can't you ask one by one...... I'm in a foreign country right now, so I chose this time to call you, and I'm still asleep the rest of the time. I'm calling you this time to report on the progress of the team's preparation, and now I've applied for start-up funding from my dad, and the sponsors are also in touch. ”

"Why did you report to me on the progress of the team on your own, I haven't promised you that yet, have you?"

"The last time I went to the United States, I happened to meet Lin Qian, and she mentioned your matter to me at that time...... Hey. Flash"

The monkey suddenly laughed maliciously on the other end of the phone, obviously learning from Lin Qian that Guan Liang said that he wanted to become a professional player.

"She told you how much she wouldn't ...... the things that were done at the airport."

"Huh? Aerodrome? What's the matter? Tell me about it! ”

"I'll just say, her personality doesn't seem to be going to talk about this kind of thing casually, as for what happened...... Don't tell you! ”

Guan Liang breathed a sigh of relief, he did those things at the airport on impulse, and he was already ashamed after being seen by Lin Qian's parents and his sister, if he was known by this guy Monkey, he might not know what would happen.

"Cut, do you think I won't be able to guess if you don't tell me, you guy finally promised Lin Qian, right? I was in a hurry to see both of you in high school......"

"What are you in a hurry with an outsider...... Forget it, let's get down to business! ”

"I've been with you for so long, and you actually treated me as an outsider, woo woo woo woo ......"

The monkey on the other side of the phone let out a whimper that couldn't be faker, which immediately gave Guan Liang goosebumps all over his body.

"You're really hanging up the phone if you make trouble with me again......"

"Uncle, I was wrong...... Seriously, I was very happy when I heard the news, after all, you guys finally don't have to be as awkward as before hahaha, and my professional club has finally got a super newcomer! ”

"Who told you I was going to you? I just told Lin Qian that I wanted to become a professional player, right? ”

“………… You can't be serious, right? ”

"Of course not."

Guan Liang burst out laughing, and Guan Liang always seemed unusually relaxed when chatting with the monkey.

"Scared the hell out of me...... Actually, I've found almost all the players in the other positions, and the rest is just a few things waiting for you. ”

"Already looking? You're really efficient, how are the other team members? ”

Guan asked curiously at the monkey.

"Well, you'll know when we meet, I can only say that as long as this team runs in well, it will definitely bring a huge surprise to the domestic audience......"

The monkey deliberately sold Guan Liang a pass at this time, and did not directly reveal the specific team members to Guan Liang. Flash Dance

"Then I'll look forward to it......"

After that, Guan Liang and Monkey exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and there seemed to be endless topics between the two.

"It's not early, I should go back to the dormitory to rest, what time is it over there?"

"It's more than four o'clock in the afternoon, it's rare to have a sunny and sunny weather today, the weather here in the UK is really uncomfortable if it doesn't rain for a day, this kind of sunny day is extremely precious."

"Then you can enjoy the last ray of sunshine before sunset, I'll hang up."

"Well, next time you contact in person, don't let your college league champion slip away."

"I know ...... without you saying it"

After hanging up the monkey's phone, Guan Liang walked directly back to the dormitory, and the night of the Southern Institute of Technology in early spring seemed unusually quiet, not at all like other times when you can still hear energetic laughter after midnight in the evening.

"I'm graduating in a few months......"

Walking alone on the long No. 3 road of Southern Institute of Technology, Guan Liang suddenly realized that he had only about three months left to leave the campus where he had lived for four years, after which he would say goodbye to his status as a student and become a professional player.

"It's quite reluctant to leave when I really want to leave, at least before I leave, I won this championship as a student!"

Guan Liang secretly swore in his heart that the promise of this championship was not only for Guan Liang himself, but also for the other members of the team and the classmates who had always supported them and the school. On the weekend, Guan Liang and others finally ushered in the day when the knockout round officially began, Guan Liang and others came to the competition venue early in the morning, the biggest difference between the knockout round and the previous group stage is that each game is played separately, and there will be a commentary from a professional e-sports channel on the spot to analyze and broadcast on the Internet.

"The atmosphere in the stadium today didn't seem to be as lively as in the group stage, but the atmosphere in the audience was more intense......

After the competition enters the knockout stage, each game is very important for the representative team of each school, so many local schools in Nanjing have many students to show their support, and even some schools in other cities have some supporters from afar to come to Nanjing to cheer for their schools.

"There seem to be quite a lot of people coming to our school, and Brother Wen said that they will come over in a while."

Ye Ziqing interjected, and from the attitude and enthusiasm of the audience, it can be seen that the attention of today's knockout match is self-evident.

"Anyway, let's report to the referee first, we'll start the game around eleven o'clock, and before that we can watch the other teams do well."

Guan Liang led the others to report to the referee for confirmation, and then found a place to sit down in the player's rest area and began to eat breakfast.

"Let's eat a little more breakfast, I guess it's going to be dinner when we play today, and we won't have a chance to eat at that time."

Yu Xi shared the breakfast he brought to everyone, in fact, e-sports competitions often require players to adjust their biological clocks in order to be able to adapt to this fasting state in advance due to the uncertainty of the game time, while amateur players do not have this adjustment, so if you are unlucky, you can only eat a little more in the first few hours of the game.

"Can you eat a little more before the game?"

Bai Su asked on the side.

"No, in that case, the blood in the body will concentrate near the stomach, and it will be difficult to ensure that there is enough blood in the brain to transport oxygen during the game, which will make the reaction a lot slower."

As Guan Liang said, during e-sports competitions, players are quite taboo about eating a lot of food before the game and before each game, and in most cases they can only eat candy or drink nutritious drinks to support them.

(There are many examples in reality, such as the S2 World Finals quarterfinals match between WE and CLG, the game lasted for eight or nine hours due to a disconnection accident, and the players on both sides did not dare to eat to avoid slowing down their reaction speed, so they finished the series on an empty stomach.) ）

While Guan Liang and the others were eating breakfast and waiting for the start of the other teams' games, the broadcasters of the live e-sports channel also arrived at the scene, and there were many acquaintances here, such as Xiao Zhong, who had commented on the WCG finals with Guan Liang before, and he came over to say hello to Guan Liang when he passed by the players' rest area.

"Oh, is your school also having this morning's game?"

"Well, around eleven o'clock in the morning...... But why don't you know about this kind of thing, haven't you gotten the bracket yet? ”

Guan asked curiously towards Xiao Zhong.

"I was suddenly notified to come over to work before going to bed last night, and one of our colleagues suddenly couldn't come to the house today, and I haven't seen anything like a bracket until now."

Xiao Zhong shook his head at Guan Liang helplessly, it seemed that he had been busy enough at work recently.

"Haha, that's really hard."

"It's nothing, I also do this job because I like it, so it's no problem for me to explain all day. Which school are you playing against today? ”

"Jiangnan University, a very strong team."

Guan Liang gave their opponent a good evaluation of strength, but Xiao Zhong had a wicked smile on his face when he heard this.

"It's pretty strong...... Are you so humble as a team with two quasi-professional players, and you're the favourites to win the college league this time. ”

"The favourites? Who are the people who think so highly of us? ”

"As far as I know, some people who know you on the media side hold this opinion, and of course some other guys are more inclined to Tsinghua."

"Because of that Ye Shu?"

Professional player Ye Shu chose to return to school to participate in the college league after retiring, this news has attracted a lot of attention some time ago, and most people think that Tsinghua, which is already strong, will become more dominant with the help of Ye Shu, a professional player who has just retired.

"You know, now this version, if the strength of the lower lane duo can crush the opposite, it will be difficult to lose this game, and everyone doesn't think that there is anyone in the circle of the college league who can compete with that Ye Shu...... In addition, the strength of the team of Tsinghua University itself is not weak. ”

"No one can compete with them...... Maybe that's true, but in the end the championship will be ours. ”

Guan Liang said the championship declaration very firmly, and in his eyes, no one could stop him from winning the championship.

"You're so confident, but if it's you, maybe you can really do it, don't let me down."

Xiao Zhong came over to say a few words and then returned to the intense preparations, because he didn't get the matchup table and other information before, so Xiao Zhong must make the basic situation of the teams against today clear before the game, otherwise it will be embarrassing to not even know the position of the players when he really explains.

"It's really a responsible commentator, much better than some guys who only rely on their faces and experiences to eat."

Yu Xi complained about some vases and veteran commentaries on the side, in fact, only a seriously prepared commentary like Xiao Zhong can really bring a professional level of commentary to the audience.

"Well, let's prepare for a while, let's confirm a few points in time first."

Guan Liang began to discuss the tactics that had been formulated before with others, although there may be many changes in the situation on the field, but a general strategic goal and tactical outline are very necessary to be familiar with, and the specific implementation depends on the judgment of the commander and the personal understanding of the players.

"It's still as I said before, it's up to me to suppress the opposite side in the early lane matching, so that he can choose the outfit of the Tears of the Goddess."

"Well, then Xiaoqing and I will take the initiative to invade each other's wild areas to control the blue buff on the opposite side, in short, the control will end within thirty minutes!"
