Chapter 76
From losing one game to winning three in a row, Team RUSH's outstanding performance today made the supporters cheer at the scene, while players from other teams on the other side had to re-evaluate Team RUSH's strength after watching this match.
"The cheers outside are so loud, it's really envious, jealous and hateful."
After hearing the cheers outside, Guan Liang also stood up and stretched, even if he didn't watch the rest of the game, Guan Liang could understand that this cheer was given to the RUSH team that showed their full strength for the first time today.
At the same time, Guan Liang also understood that the moment the RUSH team announced the victory meant the start of the next game, that is, the signal that he was about to play.
"You look excited, huh?"
At the moment when Guan Liang stood up, Yu Xi, who had been repeatedly checking the video of the game since just now, also turned around and looked at Guan Liang and said.
"Excited? Isn't that a matter of course, because we're going to play against such a strong guy in our next fight, and of course we have to do it before we do that. ”
Guan Liang took a deep breath, although the team they will face soon can be said to be the weakest one among the top eight in the Jiangsu Division, but even so, Guan Liang does not intend to relax in the slightest.
"The greatest respect for an opponent is to give it his all, right?"
Yu Xi also stood up at this time and pushed his glasses, this habitual action meant that Yu Xi's brain entered a state of imminent battle.
"Let's go, then! It's our turn! ”
On the live stage of the college league, after the players of the two teams that had just finished the game left one after another, the staff of the organizing committee began to reorganize the stage and prepare for the next game.
In the backstage of the stage, the RUSH team, which had just won the competition, was being interviewed by the organizing committee, while the CE team on the other side was packing their things and preparing to leave the arena.
"Now, why do you only interview the winning team in the post-match interview? Doesn't that look too pitiful for a player who loses like that? ”
The host on the commentary stage looked at the lonely backs of the CE team players and couldn't help but ask Xiao Zhong.
"You don't understand, it's the post-match interview for the losing team that is the real torment, and any pity and pity for the losing side is like ridicule at this time, and all the players think about at this time is how to beat the other side next time, and anything else is unnecessary."
Xiao Zhong couldn't help but sigh at this time, thinking of his previous career, he must know how unwilling he was after losing the game, and it was precisely because of this unwillingness that the players would continue to work hard to become stronger, and finally let themselves stand on the stage that belonged to the winner.
"It's cruel to win or lose in competitive competitions......"
Hearing Xiao Zhong's words, the host couldn't help but sigh.
"But that's also the charm of it, it's not about playing at home, and it's impossible for a player who doesn't have the desire to do his best to win on this road."
During the interview with the RUSH team, Guan Liang and others had also been taken by the staff to the soundproof room used for the competition, and began to adjust the machines that will be used in the competition.
"It's similar to the machine used in the last competition, so it probably won't take too long to complete the tuning."
Yu Xi took a look at the general situation after entering the soundproof room, the layout of the soundproof room this time is similar to that of the last round of the competition, and the rest just needs to see that there is no problem with the compatibility of the mouse and keyboard that comes with the computer.
"We're going to have to do that pre-game interview later, and I always feel a little nervous."
On the way to debug the machine, Bai Su suddenly mentioned the pre-game interview.
"Nervous? What's there to be nervous about? ”
Guan Liang said to Bai Su with a blank face.
"I'm different from you, I have to face so many spectators during the pre-game interview, and I will definitely be a lot more nervous than in the soundproof room!"
Bai Su has been very uncomfortable with this kind of big scene since he was a child, and he failed to play his full level in the competition because of this in the school selection competition, but at that time, because the gap in team strength was too large, it did not have any impact. 35xs
"That's the reason, but you don't have to worry too much, you don't have to say anything later, just stay by the side."
At this time, Yu Xi interjected and came in and comforted Bai Su.
"So I don't have to speak?"
"It's not just you, I don't think our team will need to speak most of the time, because Guan Liang's guy will probably end this interview in a few words."
Yu Xi shrugged helplessly, with Guan Liang's character, it is indeed possible to perfunctory the other party's questions in the interview of this game.
"Do I look like the kind of person who can handle things?"
Guan Liang couldn't help but complain to Yu Xi at this time.
"Yes!"
As a result, Yu Xi and Bai Su affirmed in unison.
"Okay......"
After debugging the machine, Guan Liang and others rested in the soundproof room for a while, waiting for the opponent's debugging to be completed, and then the staff would tell them to come on stage for a pre-match interview.
As a result, the waiting time seemed to be a bit long, which made Guan Liang feel a little strange, so he stood up and asked the staff.
"Well, isn't it over there that it's not finished debugging yet? Why hasn't it been so long since I was ready to go on the field for a pre-match interview? ”
"I'll ask, look......"
The staff then picked up the walkie-talkie and went to the organizing committee to confirm the situation there.
"Ah, sorry to wait a little longer, there seems to be something wrong with the machine over there."
"Oh, I see."
After receiving the staff's reply, Guan Liang had no choice but to sit back in his seat.
"I'm about to wear out my passion when I wait and wait......"
Brother Tiger couldn't help complaining on the side, he was going to the field with great interest to prepare for the game, but when it came to debugging, there was such a problem on the other side, and it was indeed easy to wear out people's patience in the process of waiting for nothing.
"How do I remember that something similar seemed to have happened before this competition, and it seemed that the pre-match debugging phase of that one had been waiting for a long time......"
Suddenly, at this time, Ye Ziqing said such a sentence on the side, and after hearing this, Yu Xi seemed to realize something.
"Wait a minute, something seems to be wrong......"
Yu Xi directly took out his mobile phone at this time and began to inquire about the situation of the previous game, and sure enough, there was a game before that in the debugging stage, which was also a long wait, and one of the parties in that game was the opponent that Guan Liang and they had to face today! "Oh? I always feel a little strange here......"
Guan Liang looked at the mobile phone that Yu Xi threw at him, and it showed the record of the pre-game debugging accident in the last college league, including Guan Liang and the team they faced today.
"There have been two commissioning accidents in a row, which is not something that can be described as bad luck alone......
Yu Xi whispered to Guan Liang, obviously he also felt that there seemed to be something greasy in this.
"All in all, let's take a calm look at this matter for now, and I don't know what the situation is."
Guan Liang thought for a moment and decided to take a wait-and-see attitude first, although the coincidence here is indeed a bit strange, but so far it is not certain that the opponent must have done something, and if he cares too much about this matter, he may distract himself from the game.
"Ah...... Why isn't it good over there? ”
After thirty minutes, Bai Su, who had been sitting in his seat and doing nothing, also became a little irritable, due to the regulations of the college league organizing committee, the players participating in the competition were not allowed to bring their mobile phones into the soundproof room when they appeared, which was also to prevent possible fraud. 35xs
At the same time, the computer dedicated to the game is not allowed to open other software except for the client of the League of Legends game server, so the players are almost completely isolated from the outside world when they are in the soundproof room, and it is no wonder that Bai Su will complain during this endless wait.
"Yu Xi, you come up and start a custom game with me first, and then wait for it in vain."
Guan Liang opened a custom room with Yu Xi at this time, and the two of them each chose the hero they were best at and began the process of being a hot hand in the middle lane.
"What do you think the opposite team is doing at this time?"
In the process of aligning the line in the game, Yu Xi asked Guan Liang while staring intently at the screen.
"I don't know, but they're definitely much more relaxed than we are."
Guan Liang's right hand flickered, and he began to use the advantage of his hero's range to consume Yu Xi's HP without interruption.
"Probably, but if they really did something in the process, would it have any impact on our side?"
"It shouldn't have a direct impact on our side, but only they know what the specific situation is, but then again, they don't necessarily really do anything, so there's no need to dwell too much on this."
Guan Liang's attitude at this time seems to be very indifferent, a large part of this is also due to his personal character, at this time Guan Liang knows very well that if he is too entangled in these inconsequential things, he will let himself play abnormally in the game, which is also the biggest gap between the newcomers and veterans in the professional team.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Xi was accidentally seized by Guan Liang's side in a position during the lane matching, and then was taken away by Guan Liang's set of flashing WEQ combos.
“FUCK…… You really can't show even the slightest flaw in front of you. ”
Yu Xi pouted and scolded, every time he faced Guan Liang, the process of facing off with Guan Liang was like an ordeal, but for Yu Xi, who was about to become a professional player, this kind of torment was the fastest way to improve his strength, and it was precisely because he understood this that Yu Xi would be abused by Guan Liang every time without hesitation.
"Your concentration is so poor, even if you're chatting, you shouldn't have that kind of misalignment, do you mean you're in a bad mood right now?"
Guan Liang said to Yu Xi coldly without turning his head, the mistake just now was completely undeserved in Guan Liang's opinion, and Guan Liang also showed a trace of dissatisfaction with Yu Xi's state.
"Well, like you said, I do get a little irritable right now......"
Yu Xi sighed, then stood up and stretched, trying to calm his emotions in this way.
"Remember, don't bring this kind of negativity into the game under any circumstances, otherwise it will become a breakthrough for the opponent."
Guan Liang couldn't help but preach to Yu Xi, although he is not usually a person who likes to preach, but in this case, Yu Xi's mind must be clearer, otherwise it may affect more than just this game.
"I know, I know, the main thing is that it's really annoying that this game doesn't start for a long time."
Yu Xi couldn't help but push his glasses, and from this action, it could be seen that he couldn't wait for the game to start soon, otherwise his enthusiasm would be drained.
"Well, it seems that the team on the opposite side has finally finished debugging, so you can come with me immediately and prepare for the pre-game interview."
Finally, after I don't know how long it took, the staff sent a notice to Guan Liang and others to prepare for a pre-game interview, which made everyone in the team except Guan Liang breathe a sigh of relief.
"Finally, I don't have to wait so much, I can't walk after sitting for too long."
Bai Su couldn't help but complain, during the waiting time just now, almost everyone on Guan Liang's side showed more or less impatience.
"That's not a good thing......"
Guan Liang sighed lightly, but he didn't put this matter on the table, because in this situation, even if he reminded the other team members, it would be useless, and he could only find a way to make them sober up when he was in the game.
Subsequently, everyone was brought to the top of the stage, this time Guan Liang and their opponent really met face to face, at this time the expressions on the opponent's faces were extremely relaxed, in stark contrast to the tired expressions of Guan Liang and several other people on their side.
"Both teams look confident about winning today's game, so let's talk to the captains of both teams what they think. What do you think are your chances of winning this game? ”
After the host's polite opening remarks, he single-handedly put the question away from Guan Liang and the captain of the opposite team, and Guan Liang made a gesture at this time to let the captain of the other party answer the question first.
"The odds of winning, I also know that our team is regarded as the weakest in the entire quarterfinals, and it is estimated that the opposite player is also secretly glad that he drew us in his heart, but I will prove our strength with practical actions, and teach the opposite player a good lesson, the winner of this game must be us!"
The captain of the other party looked confident at this time, and after he finished answering, the host also handed the microphone to Guan Liang.
And then, Guan Liang, who took over the microphone, suddenly came up with a surprising answer.
"Ahem...... For this game, I don't think our team has much chance of winning. "Well, what did you just say?"
Hearing Guan Liang's answer, the host who was doing the interview on the spot couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly confirmed the answer he had just made to Guan Liang.
"I don't think we have much chance of winning, that's it."
Guan Liang replied to the host in front of him again with an expressionless face, which couldn't help but cause an uproar in the audience.
"That guy's head is broken, right?"
"It's incomprehensible, and anyone would say before the game that their team has no chance of winning?"
"Could it be that there is some conflict in their team, otherwise it is hard to imagine that as a captain, he would say such things at such a time."
At this time, the audience began to discuss Guan Liang's answer, and some people were even angry and scolded Guan Liang in the stands.
"If you don't want to fight, give it up! Don't waste our time here! ”
"Suddenly stage fright at this time, what a fucking bastard!"
The audience in the stands scolded more and more ugly, but at this time, a smile appeared on Guan Liang's face.
"Well, can you tell me your reason, it's the first time I've encountered such a thing as saying that my team has no chance of winning before the game......"
The host hurriedly asked Guan Liang at this time, because this matter was too strange and far beyond the host's expectations, so now the host can only conduct an off-script interview.
"Reason? It's very simple, because the debugging time has been waiting for too long, the members of our team are almost hungry, how can we win the opposite side if we continue like this. ”
Guan Liang said with a helpless smile, but at the same time, he glanced at the other party's captain contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain.
"What do you mean? Do you think we're deliberately putting it off for a long time? ”
was glanced at by Guan Liang's disdainful eyes, and the captain of the other party obviously couldn't just say this at this time, and asked Guan Liang decisively and loudly.
"How so, I'm just lamenting that my side is not very lucky. Wrong...... It's probably your team that is unlucky, I remember you guys were debugging for a long time in the last game, and it's really hard for you to run into problems when you were debugging for two series in a row. ”
Guan Liang said to the other party's captain without changing his face, and at the same time added a hint of playfulness to his tone.
"Hmph, you're just looking for yourself to get under the stairs right now, right? I'm thinking we're deliberately dragging our feet in the debugging process for a long time, but you're just making excuses for losing, right? ”
The captain of the other party snorted coldly at this time, and counterattacked Guan Liang nonchalantly.
"Hehe, you're wrong...... I've never liked to make excuses, and the reason why I say that our team doesn't have a good chance of winning is just stating the facts, don't you yourself say that your team must be the winner, I'm just following your words, but if your team doesn't show the kind of strength you just said, don't blame us for accidentally winning you. ”
Guan Liang patted the other party's shoulder, then stood up without looking back and walked back.
"It looks like the pre-match argument between the two sides is quite intense, let's focus on the game that is about to start, and see what kind of game the two teams will bring us before the game!"
Seeing this, the host directly interrupted the pre-match interview in this place, and then the staff also signaled the players on both sides to return to the soundproof room and prepare to start the game.
"Hey, Guan Liang, why did you say that kind of thing before the game, it's not like your usual style."
After Yu Xi stepped down, he hurriedly pulled Guan Liang from behind and asked, Guan Liang's performance just now was really unusual.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with my performance? ”
Guan Liang turned his head and asked Yu Xi with a puzzled expression.
"There's nothing wrong with you, you guy......"
"Actually, it's nothing, I just look at your expressions and think it's too boring to wait for so long, so I just make up some topics to stir up the atmosphere."
"But that's a bit too much, and when I'm in the back, I feel like you're going to have a fight on the spot in the next second."
Yu Xi said to Guan Liang helplessly, the smell of gunpowder at the scene just now was indeed a little too strong, as if he would not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life if he lost.
"Haha, that's what you want, do you still think it's too boring to wait?"
"It's no longer a question of waiting for boredom or not, now a few of us are worried about whether you will be chased and beaten by the other party after the game......"
Bai Su couldn't help but complain on the side.
"You can rest assured, I don't think they have reached that level yet, after all, they are still young people, and it's normal to be a little more angry, but they are all college students and will still think about the consequences."
After Guan Liang said this, the other four people all looked at him helplessly, Guan Liang sometimes shows a little-known side like this from time to time, but whenever Guan Liang does something they can't understand, the result is often beyond their expectations.
"Okay, one last thing I want to ask you before the game, did you mean that you just said that our team doesn't have much chance of winning?"
Yu Xi finally asked Guan Liang for the last sentence before the game.
"If you're really stupid enough to take that statement seriously, then I don't think our chances of winning are really much......"
"You guy......"
Faced with Guan Liang's answer, Yu Xi could only sigh helplessly, but then immediately showed a smile.
"Okay, after a long debugging wait, we finally see that the two teams will be able to start the second BO5 match of the day. In the pre-match interview just now, the captains of both sides seem to be full of anger, what do you think of Xiao Zhong's commentary on this? ”
As the game was about to start, the presenter on the commentary stage threw the question to Xiao Zhong.
"After all, both sides are young, so it's not a strange thing to provoke each other before this kind of game, but I don't think both sides are serious."
"Not seriously? What does that mean? ”
The host asked curiously.
"That is to say, in fact, both sides are not necessarily really angry, maybe both sides are pretending to be very angry to show each other, in fact, they know better than anyone else."
"Huh? I don't really understand why I did that......"
"If you insist on saying it, it's a psychological game, but it's hard to say who among them is deceived......"
