Chapter 1: Memories Reappear
The western suburbs of Beijing, the training base of RAINBOW E-sports Club.
Gu Mingsi sat in the training room, motionless, looking like a wooden chicken from a distance.
The long, messy hair clings to his face, hiding a hint of pallor from his cheeks.
The expression was as cold as ever, a touch of sorrow, condensed between the eyebrows.
He hadn't eaten for a day, and when he came to the training room in the morning, he sat like this, staring blankly at the training schedule posted on the wall, until the sun set and the willows rose in the moon.
With his hands on his lap and his slender fingers hanging weakly, no one could have imagined that these hands had been flying around in the world of e-sports and had ballet-like fingering.
Gu Mingsi still remembers the tsunami-like cheers, applause, whistles, shouts, dancing flags, and ribbon lanterns in the audience, which belonged to his youth and the glory of these hands.
But all of this has vanished.
"Is it all over?" in the bright eyes, there seemed to be reluctance and unwillingness.
Finally, he moved.
Turning my head to look out the window, at night in Beijing in July, the heat wave does not recede, the traffic is busy, the hustle and bustle, and the prosperity is still the same.
The world does not change because of the change of one person, it is always the same.
Ten fingers tapped on the tabletop, and the table was empty, only the shallow traces proved that there was a lot of equipment in the place.
"You're all gone..."With trembling hands, he picked up a photo, the six people in the picture were smiling brightly, and the golden trophy was even more dazzling.
"Chao Ming, Wu Chen, Jiu Shi Ting, Xi Jiangyue, Coach Mu Comb."
Pale cheeks, tears flowing, and the sound of a young man sobbing faintly came, looking extremely desolate and sad in this empty training room.
"Inscription! Mingsi, where are you..."
In a trance, the door was pushed open.
"Smack!" The lights are on.
"Inscription! Sure enough, you're here! A female voice shouted, a mixture of joy and sorrow in her voice.
"Mingsi, I've finally found you." A man said.
Gu Mingsi, who was sitting on the chair, didn't look back, but said softly: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone again." ”
The man in black walked forward, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw the photo in Gu Mingsi's hand, and the words he wanted to say choked in his throat.
"Inscription... Are you thinking about the wooden comb coach again? The girl stepped forward and reached out to gently wipe the tears on Gu Mingsi's face, but forgot that her tears had also burst out of her eyes.
Gu Mingsi's expression was blank, he didn't speak, but slowly closed his eyes.
The image in his mind raced, and time went back to three months ago......
Back to that noisy and passionate night......
Shanghai Jing'an 10,000 Stadium, endless shouts, dazzling lights, gorgeous screens, and the passion brought by e-sports fill every corner, impregnating everyone's cells, and everything is the original beautiful appearance.
"Hello to the summoners on the scene, the audience in front of the TV, everyone! Welcome to the 6th HERO Arena National Finals, I am the host Jia Bing. ”
"Hello everyone, I'm the narrator."
"I'm commentator Mi Cang!"
"I'm very happy to be able to host the finals with two well-known HERO game commentators today, handsome men and beautiful women, and finally meet two real people." Supporter Jia Bing teased.
"Haha, the host laughed, and I also feel very honored to be officially invited." The female commentator named Mi Cang, with white skin and beautiful appearance, has a hot body, and is an e-sports master, it is said that she has reached the diamond rank in the HERO game, and in countless entertainment commentaries, it can be said that she has both beauty and strength.
"Now the entire Shanghai Stadium is full, and the atmosphere is very warm, which can be said to be the most important in the previous HERO finals!" Jia Bing was also infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and seemed very excited, and it was a great honor to be the host of the finals of the highest e-sports event in the country.
"Very right, very right, the atmosphere of the scene is very grand, it can be seen that the organizers have made a lot of efforts, the arena is more dazzling and dazzling than the finals of previous years, it is more magnificent, and the organization is also very effective." The male commentator named Granules, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a black suit, looked polite, and before he changed careers to do commentary, he was a data analyst for a competitive website.
"That's right, the organizer of this competition, Guobao Technology, is the largest agent of HERO Games in East Asia, and such a grand scene also highlights the charm of the world's first MOBA competitive game!"
The official broadcast came from the ear: "According to the statistics of the on-site staff, there are currently 59,600 spectators, setting a new record for the number of domestic e-sports on-site viewers, and the offline ratings also rank first in the country, at this moment, we have created HERO history!"
For a while, there were cheers again, and everyone was happy to participate in the most grand e-sports event. There were still ten minutes before the official competition, and the audience entertained themselves and started to make waves.
"Audience friends, you must have known from the official announcement that this year's HERO Hero National Finals will be the last service of the old server." Host Jia Bing said.
"Yes, according to the official news, after this finals, HERO games will change to a new version of the server and enter the HERO super generation version. Many elements of the old version of the game will be replaced, and many familiar heroes will also be modified. ”
"That's right, because the HERO Arena has been with us for more than three years, with the advancement of science and technology and the update of equipment, the original corrective update patch can no longer meet the needs of players, so this major version update is imperative."
"It is said that after this major version update, the world's HERO competitive games will open server interoperability, which means that players will be able to match opponents from all over the world online in the future and engage in global fierce battles!"
"Correspondingly, the competition in various countries and regions will be more fierce in the future, and the winner of this year's national finals will represent our national server HERO League to participate in the World Cup Asian e-sports qualifiers and attack for the world championship!"
"Wow, world champion, that sounds even better than a national champion or an intercontinental champion!" Commentator Mi Cang said.
"Of course, such a big version change is bound to have a certain impact on players who are familiar with the current version, and it will have a greater impact on the playing style of each club.
"That's right, so the last domestic championship before the update is particularly important, after all, the situation after the update is still unpredictable, I don't know who will be able to seize the opportunity to win the last championship of the current version?"
"Okay, let's cut back to the arena, the finalists are about to appear!"
