Chapter 35: The Expedition
Winning both matches and advancing directly to the upper bracket, both the WT team members and all the fans who care about them feel comfortable, and the LD team also performed very well after the game, people are very strange creatures, even if they were opponents before, but if they showed good friendliness to their home team after the game, the fans will immediately think that they are friends.
This is the reason why the officials of the major professional teams are now close to each other, everyone's efforts still need fans to pay for their efforts in the final analysis, and strengthening interaction will only summarize the fan groups of both sides and benefit each other.
Today's game is only this one, the whole process is about two hours, although it is still unfinished, but everyone is still very orderly exit, Lan Yu followed the promise before the game, and lost a lot of dolls and mouse pad T-shirts to the boys in the front row who always grabbed the periphery, and several boys were also very generous, and gave them to the girls behind them who couldn't grab them, and earned enough popularity.
WT team as the landlord, naturally will not let the LD team leave after the game, after the game the staff in the Fudu Hotel to arrange dinner, with the LD team to the staff were all invited, everyone happily chatted about the fun of the game, for this kind of opportunity, the LD team is very concerned, the two games let them make sure that they are still far from the WT team, but the WT team members look very kind, do not hide their selfishness, for some mistakes of the LD team during the game, unceremoniously pointed out, And say what you should do.
Especially Mu Huan, who is a cold-hearted person himself, although he doesn't like to talk much, but when the members of the LD team ask about it, he knows everything, and even makes some simple explanations in combination with Lan Yu's tactical ideas, which makes Lan Yu want to shut him up.
But in fact, Lan Yu and the others don't care too much about these things, since everyone gets along very happily on the field, Lan Yu doesn't mind adding a few more friends to the team, multiple friends and multiple paths.
At the insistence of the WT club, the LD team still did not catch the night plane back, but directly stayed in the hotel under the arrangement of the club, and let them go back the next day after a night's rest, which also made the LD team feel the enthusiasm of the WT club from the players to the team members, and gave everyone some gifts before leaving, all of which were more distinctive gadgets, although the money was not much, but the mind arrived.
Sun Yi is not only the director of the organizer, but also the moderator of this forum, and the LD team praised the WT team after returning to their own city, and the post attracted a lot of onlookers, because the title is "Talking about the WT team we know".
Everyone thought that as a loser, they would break out some fierce news about the dirty side of the WT team, but the post praised the WT team from tactical ideas to personal ability, and then from the morality of each player to the generosity of the club.
Pang Xiao, the captain of TheNext, the representative team in the East Beijing-Tianjin area, also posted, talking about the fanatical fans of E-sports in H City, and attached a video and a large number of pictures, expressing envy of the e-sports environment in H City, hoping that other places can also effectively organize fans to cheer on the scene and create a good atmosphere for the home team.
The video is actually officially recorded, Pang Xiao got it from Sun Yi, and he posted this post with a little personal thought, after watching the crazy e-sports environment in H City, there is no team that is not envious and jealous, but there is no hate.
Seeing thousands of spectators cheering in the uniform black and white uniforms of the WT team, holding the same inflatable rod and electronic board, shouting loud slogans and shouting momentum to lift the roof whenever the WT team has a wonderful operation, everyone is cold in the back, how can the team that grew up in this environment not be strong.
Sun Yi was the moderator, and this time he was in charge of doing an objective rating of each team in the National Championship, which only represented his personal thoughts, and after the first day of the competition, LD received his evaluation of 3.5 out of 5, while the WT team received a high score of 4.5.
Sun Yi explained that if a team reaches five points, then it has the strength to enter the professional league, and the WT team does not reach five points because they have not reached that level mentally, and for them, it is just an idea to enter the professional game, and they don't know how much motivation it takes.
However, 4.5 points is also quite a high score, which means that Sun Yi believes that the WT team has reached a very high level in terms of technology and tactics.
After this match, they had a month or so of rest to prepare for their final exams, as well as more tactics and more training, and although they won the opening match cleanly 2-0, the WT team felt an unprecedented pressure.
For the LD team that doesn't know them well, the WT team actually has some struggle, and if you want to forcibly suppress the opponent, you need to show your personal skills without reservation, whether it is hand speed, operation habits and the best outfit habits, other teams have seen the light, in this case, the WT team needs to keep improving, in order to always be ahead of the opponent's understanding of themselves.
This is a very difficult situation in itself, after the game, Lan Yu once said that he didn't know where the limit of his teammates was, in fact, he knew that his teammates were about to reach the next bottleneck, and only by crossing this bottleneck could they change from ordinary gods in the eyes of players to those unattainable professional players.
The WT team trained very hard, without any urging, they had been together for a long time, they both understood each other's thoughts, and started crazy training the day after the game, Lan Yu's brain was almost non-stop, even if he was tired, he knew that he couldn't rest.
So when the outside world praised the WT team, not many people knew that they were the first team to qualify for the upper bracket, and they actually trained harder than the LD team that failed.
Two weeks later, the final exams of several players were finally over, and the allotted time for revision and training finally came to an end, and the two-month vacation gave them more peace of mind to prepare for the competition.
In the meantime, the other group matches have also had results, the second group of Central China team lost to TheBlackKnight team in South China, unfortunately fell into the lower bracket, and TBK team became the second team to advance to the upper bracket.
TheNext, the representative team of the East Beijing-Tianjin region, defeated the Red Lotus team, the representative team of North China, with a large score under Pang Xiao's super performance, and advanced to the upper group strongly.
This week's final match to advance to the upper bracket will be played against the Quicksand team from the Southwest Division, and the list of matchups between the upper bracket and the lower bracket will also be determined as long as the two teams are decided.
Although the WT team trains hard, it has always paid attention to the games of other teams, Ye Qing has been basically as busy as Lan Yu recently, and the two of them are now basically making their own tactical reserves, and then take the time to communicate again, discuss the tactics that both sides think are feasible, and then absorb the opinions of the players to integrate a set of tactics as reserves.
In fact, this method is particularly slow, in the current era of various teaching videos and game videos on the street, it is really difficult to come up with a set of tactics that can stand the test and make people amazing and not to watch out for, no wonder the top professional teams are now having fewer and fewer tactics, and they are all relying on individual ability to play.
That realm is called simplification, and the WT team does not have that kind of strength for the time being.
And the tactics discussed may not be able to appear, and when the time comes, it will be targeted according to the opponent's lineup and the heroes he likes to use, so from the beginning of the establishment of the team to the present, Lan Yu has come up with at least hundreds of tactics, but there are always only those that can really be used.
Lin Nianwei has always come to the club to sit recently, many times she sits alone in the rest area to watch the previous games of the WT team, drinking the club's coffee and playing with her mobile phone, sometimes she doesn't have the opportunity to say a word to Lan Yu for a day, Lan Yu also feels very guilty about this, but there is nothing she can do.
Lin Nianwei sometimes wants to play with the temperament of a little girl, but every time she sees Lan Yu dragging her tired body out of the training room, and then laughing at her, her heart involuntarily softens.
This situation continued until the end of the week, and the last two teams that decided the winner of the group also came out, and the quicksand team from the northwest region surprised everyone to defeat the Tianjiao team from the southwest region, which had been favored before the game.
The quicksand team's style of play is just like their team name, stretching like sand, full of loopholes but full of traps, these three games were rated five-star by Ye Qing, which means that the WT team must study it carefully.
And then the latest list of matchups came out soon.
In the first match of the upper bracket, WT will face Quicksand, while TN will compete with TBK for a spot in the upper bracket championship.
Because the quicksand team was playing away from home against the Tianjiao team, this WT team will move to W City, the capital of X Province, for the game, which is a super long distance, and the forum also called WT a burning expedition this time.
When the WT team heard the news, they all expressed their helplessness, because it was too far away, thousands of kilometers, and even a direct flight would take four hours, and if it stopped, it would usually take about six hours.
The six-hour plane, in addition to the turbulence, the WT team is most worried about their brain Lan Yu, although Lan Yu slept soundly next to Chen Chuxiao when he went to City B the first two times, but after all, he had a seasick physique, and when he arrived in such a stuffy place, I am afraid that the body will have a very uncomfortable reaction.
But the competition system is like this, and everyone can't express any objections, after all, there is not a special venue like professional games, and the home advantage itself is part of the strength of the team, so everyone can only obey.
Time is tight, only a week, WT teams have to find their weaknesses from the three games that the quicksand team has just ended, and the quicksand team will presumably try to study themselves, as the first team to win away from home, the quicksand team is favored by quite a few people, even against the high-flying WT team, more than 40% of the audience thinks they will win.
The WT team discussed on the basis of the original tactics, Lan Yu and Ye Qing's voices were dumb in the discussion in the past few days, Chen Chuxiao saw it in his eyes, and he also felt a strange sense of distress in his heart, so he took the initiative to say some of his own opinions many times, which reduced a lot of burden on Lan Yu and Ye Qing, and the other teammates also understood Chen Chuxiao's thoughts, and in the end, everyone participated in the discussion, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Before the trip, many fans of the WT team came to see them off, but this time because they went farther, everyone had a sense of tragedy.
Routinely, Lan Yu came to express his gratitude to the fans present, Lan Yu held back for a long time and said: "If Lao Tzu hadn't vomited to death on the plane, I would have brought you a lot of grapes back!" ”
