Chapter 185: Race to Shanghai
July 2, morning, Beijing South Railway Station. 『*Words*Love*First*Hair』
A group of people dressed in cotton short-sleeved shirts with black and gold trim on a red background gathered in the waiting hall. There is a big logo on the back of each person's clothes, with a shield as the base, and two swords inlaid on the shield like a cross type, and on either side of the shield are half demon and half angel wings. In the middle there are big O and K letters, and at the bottom of the logo are A2Club and Chinese Oath Guard Dota Athletic Club.
"Well, today is the first time we go out of Beijing to participate in the competition, and it gives me some spirits! Don't embarrass OK! Take the TM championship back! Xu Yunlong began to mobilize.
It's a pity that it doesn't seem to have a very good effect, only Qi Lin and Zhu Quehuang screamed excitedly.
"Oh oh oh oh! It's the first time I've gone that far! Zhu Quehuang jumped up and down like a monkey in excitement
"It's not a shame." Ye Qiu glanced at him and distanced himself from him, with an expression of I don't know this guy.
"b god b god ~ I want to live in a room with you!" Qi Lin waved his hand, as if he were speaking.
"Damn, lin, you are actually ......" Ye Qiu's eyes widened, and he looked like he understood.
", what are you thinking, I just want to see how God b's usually thinks. Isn't there a way to know oneself and know one's opponent, and I have to understand the bGod deeply before I can come up with a way to win against him. Qi Lin looked serious.
“…… I don't think it's as good as practicing more. The white tiger pushed his glasses.
"Shut up, stupid tiger." Qi Lin completely changed the name of the white tiger to a stupid tiger after the last shopping incident. Although he wanted to refute it, Bai Hu, as a top science student, really didn't know how to refute Qi Lin's sharp teeth in terms of language, so he could only snort every time and deliberately pretend to ignore it.
"Oh oh oh!! I want to eat Shanghai xiaolongbao!! He didn't listen to the conversation of a few people at all, and Zhu Quehuang was still there excited to himself.
Xu Yunlong looked at the chaotic situation in front of him. The two big words floated by in his heart, and he sighed helplessly.
"Don't care." Xuan Wu patted Xu Yunlong's shoulder sympathetically.
"It's time to get in line!" Xiao Qingyue, who had taken the tickets, and Leng Duxue, who was carrying breakfast in their hands, both walked to the team assembly point, and the two distributed the things to everyone's hands.
"Okay, let's get in the car." Xiao Qingyue glanced at the time.
So several people hurried through the ticket gate. dragged a large bag and a small bag into the car.
"Row 13C...... 13 Row C...... Yes! Got it! Zhu Quehuang stared at his ticket. After finding his seat, he whimpered, and excitedly stuffed his bag into the luggage rack above. After that, he sat on the chair and twisted, "The chair is so soft!" Comfortable than a hard seat! ”
"You haven't ever made a train?" Ye Qiu, who had put his luggage, sat next to him, and Ye Qiu's seat was row 13B.
"Nope! I've done trains. Zhu Quehuang replied very simply. Is it true that a bullet train runs faster than an airplane? ”
Ye Qiu glanced at Zhu Quehuang with an "idiot" expression and ignored him.
"That's impossible. It will not be driven at full speed unless it is necessary. The white tiger pushed his glasses and began the elite preaching mode.
"Huh? Why am I not sitting in the same seat as yours? Seeing that his ticket was in the 15th row, Qi Lin shouted unhappily, "Change seats!" ”
said. Qi Lin walked up to an unknown passerby who was already sitting next to Xu Yunlong, and said with a smile: "Hey, you, can you change seats with me?" ”
"Huh?" Passers-by didn't understand. "I prefer to be an aisle."
"Let's change places." Qi Lin got closer and closer to the passers-by, and the smile on his face was also terrifying, "If you don't change it, I will curse you all the way~"
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Passers-by didn't understand what was going on.
"It's better to switch places with me, or you'll ......" Qi Lin was still smiling, and leaned into the ear of the passer-by and said something.
As a result, the passers-by turned pale with fright, grabbed the bag directly and hurriedly changed positions with Qi Lin.
Xu Yunlong, who had put away the large luggage, walked back to his place and was a little surprised to find that the original passer-by had actually been replaced by Qi Lin.
"Changed places?"
"yes, that uncle is very good." Qi Lin smiled innocently.
Xu Yunlong didn't say anything and sat in his seat.
"Ah, wallet!" At this time, Ye Qiu screamed, and jumped directly from his seat to touch his pocket, "What should I do, my wallet is gone!" ”
"Ahh That one! After hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Zhu Quehuang also helped to find it, but after looking around and not finding it, he could only bend down, looked sideways under the seat, and found a bulging thing.
"I'm scared to death......" Taking the wallet that Zhu Que Huang handed him, Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"There's nothing left behind, is there?" Xiao Qingyue stood up with a headache, "The ticket is ready, the ID card, the participation card, and your keyboard and mouse, are you ready?" ”
"Oh!!" Everyone replied.
"If you don't bring anybody, you won't let anyone play." Xiao Qingyue smiled gently.
"Oh......"
After this sentence, the first thing everyone does is to start checking their belongings.
The destination of this trip was Shanghai.
From Beijing to Shanghai, the bullet train ticket costs more than 500, of course, as a poor jingle club, the ticket money is paid separately. However, the deduction of the tournament prize money by the OK team has always been very reasonable. Only 5% of the total prize money will be deducted for each competition, and the remaining five participants will be divided equally, and each will draw another 5% to the substitute. So the club is very poor and poor, and everybody's prize money is very rich. So, basically Xiao Qingyue unceremoniously asked everyone to pay for their own car and room expenses. Of course, she and Leng Duxue are also self-reliant, and compared to the contestants, all the sources of income for the two of them are Taobao stores, which minimizes everyone's life pressure to the lightest.
"It's rare to go to Shanghai, if you really lose your wallet. But I don't have the money to eat this food! Ye Qiu obviously checked the delicious food in Shanghai before going to Shanghai, and had already planned what to eat between games.
"I want it too, I want it too!!" Zhu Quehuang raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to join, but quickly tilted his head. He blinked and asked, "What is this dish?" ”
"You don't even look at the tip of your tongue?" Ye Qiu said that he didn't know what Zhu Quehuang was thinking at all. I haven't even watched such a good-looking film on the tip of my tongue.
"Is the tip of the tongue famous? Beef tongue tip or pig tongue? Delicious? The duck tongue is quite delicious......" Zhu Quehuang began to pretend that he knew very well.
"I'm sorry, but I don't really like to eat the tip of my tongue. I prefer real meat to that stuff. The white tiger also pushed his glasses to make his position clear.
"What are you talking about? It's the tip of the tongue! Not the tip of the tongue! Ye Qiu began to emphasize, but obviously it didn't make any sense. Because Zhu Quehuang and Baihu still didn't understand what he was saying.
"Do you want to eat?" Xuan Wu took out a snack from his bag and handed it to Xu Yunlong, who was sitting in the middle.
"......" Xu Yunlong looked at the potato chips in Xuanwu's hand, was silent for a while, and then looked up at Xuanwu with anticipation in his eyes, sighed silently, reached out and patted Xuanwu's shoulder, "It's hard for you......"
Because Xuanwu came out to work very early, he basically didn't read any books. So not to mention any joyful actions like traveling with your classmates or participating in graduation trips. When he was at the base, every time he relaxed and watched a TV series, as soon as he saw the actors going on a trip together or something, Xuanwu would be intent. Although his face was still calm, he still couldn't hide his excitement.
So this trip to Shanghai for eight people made Xuanwu prepare excitedly all night.
Although Xuan Wu wanted to show that he was not so excited, he made an action like running to the supermarket and buying a lot of snacks, how did he look like he was excited. However, because of Xuanwu's good face, everyone pretended not to see it.
Xu Yunlong especially wanted to call and ask Cang Yan, didn't a few people act together when Xuanwu's MZ was the beginning? He remembered that MZ had participated in competitions outside the province.
But none of this matters anymore.
Taking the potato chips handed over by Xuanwu, Xu Yunlong calmly opened them and started eating.
"Hey, look, there's actually a vacant seat, I didn't come to sit after I bought a ticket, I'm really rich." Ye Qiu touched his wallet, looked at the empty seven or eight positions in front of them, and whispered.
"Probably a mistake." White Tiger guessed.
"B God, B God, what kind of game is the G League?"
At this time, Qi Lin was unwilling to be lonely and began to talk to Xu Yunlong.
"Didn't Qingyue make it clear yesterday?" Xu Yunlong said while eating potato chips.
"I ...... I'm too sleepy to hear clearly, so tell me again. Qi Lin said with a smile.
Xu Yunlong glanced at him, didn't say anything, but really began to introduce the G League.
"In fact, it is no different from the general competition, the format of the Asian Cup is the same, but there are no foreign teams in the G League, it is a domestic team. Anyone can sign up. There are a total of eight groups, each of which has a seeded team and can directly participate in the group finals. We are seeded in Group F, so we only went to Shanghai today. The last week of the group stage has already gone.
The G League is a pure offline competition, and the group stage is held offline. And they all use the same venue, but the stadium is very large. There are a total of eight competition areas, eight glass rooms, and 80 computers. You can see it when you go to the G-League venue. What else would you like to ask? ”
"What about the format?"
"Divided into solo and team. , this can be seen on the official website. ”
"There is solo~~" Qi Lin's last tail note dragged on for a long time.
Xu Yunlong finally understood the intention of Qi Lin's words, this is what he wants to play solo.
But he did arrange Qi Lin's solo game, after all, solo is also very physically and mentally demanding, if you continue to play the team after playing solo, or play continuously, it will be very unbearable.
The daily powder distribution of the G League is a solo game in the morning and a team game in the afternoon.
The solo competition is also open to anyone, and there is no quota limit, only a time limit, and as many groups as there are before the deadline.
Moreover, solo is not a team competition, and there is no concept of grouping. It's just a big scuffle.
The start time of the solo tournament is also different, it is the second day after the end of the group stage, and a whole day is spent in a single defeat cycle of BO1, and one point is earned for winning one game. After all competitions. The top 8 will advance to the knockout round.
The group stage will also compete for the top eight and play the knockout round.
The knockout rounds are also a single-loss cycle. A points-based system is adopted. The team competition is Bo2 and the solo competition is Bo3.
Team matches are worth two points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. After 8 round-robin matches, the top four will be taken. The cycle continues, and the final ranking of the top four is the final ranking of the team.
The same goes for the rules of solo.
The knockout round begins, with solo matches in the morning and team matches in the afternoon, with four solo games a day and a team match four times a day.
So it's not an easy game.
But for domestic teams, the G-League is an almost mandatory competition. This is true even for S-Rank teams.
Because compared to the high-end WPC or the second-tier WVW, the G League is a non-graded competition, and the level is only reflected by the seeded teams in the group stage.
For amateur players, the G-League is a place where you can play against your favorite gods. For professional teams, the G-League is another place to discover newcomers relative to the supernova game.
Just like SG's Tang Yi and NF's Yang Yuanyi or SY Hua Qingtian and Guo Shi, they all came out through the stage of the G League at the beginning.
So when Xiao Qingyue told him that he had received an invitation from the G League to participate as a seeded team, he agreed without thinking about it. White Tiger has already appeared as a supernova, Qi Lin was originally an internationally renowned strong player, and Ye Qiu has participated in many second-tier matches as the captain of the second-tier team of SY, and has also accumulated a lot of popularity. Xuanwu is needless to say, the name of the sea is inclusive, which old Dota player doesn't know.
Now, there is only one person on the team who needs to make the whole country aware of his existence.
Zhu Que Huang.
It's not that he wants to make Zhu Que Huang popular or anything, but he doesn't want him to be buried under these people with halos in the team. That's too cruel for a player. He wasn't sure if Zhu Quehuang would be able to withstand that kind of pressure from public opinion when the time came. Therefore, his personal hope is that Zhu Quehuang can perform well in this G League and become a blockbuster.
He still firmly believes that the young man he found is worthy of him.
Moreover, after this period of cultivation, in the position of support, Zhu Quehuang has reached the point where he is satisfied.
Seeing that Zhu Quehuang was still talking excitedly to Ye Qiu there, talking about what to eat in Shanghai, Xu Yunlong suddenly felt a little emotional.
Should I say, do you have to be old?
Smiling, Xu Yunlong closed his eyes and waited for the five hours to pass.
"Oh!! I know about the three wires!! Zhu Quehuang was still talking about Shanghai's famous dishes, "It is said that there are still some old meat, and sweet and sour short ribs!" ”
"You've checked it quite completely."
"I don't like sweets." Baihu pushed his glasses and interjected.
"Of course! I've been looking it up all night! Zhu Quehuang handed the notebook to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu flipped it casually, and actually remembered that he slowly wanted to eat, and marked a symbol in front of it, dividing which ones he wanted to eat the most and which ones he wanted to eat second.
"You're so idle." Ye Qiu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"I don't like sweets." Seeing that the two ignored him, Bai Hu pushed down his glasses again and amplified his voice.
But it seems that the voice is a little too loud, and besides, there are some different voices?
"Huh?"
The white tiger was stunned for a moment and looked to his side.
The people standing in the hallway looked at him with the same amazement.
It's actually Yang Yuanyi!
And behind Yang Yuanyi was Liang Yu.
I didn't expect that NF actually took this trip to Shanghai.
"Why are you here?" Yang Yuanyi was deeply disgusted after being surprised, "The air is polluted by you. ”
"Then don't breathe." Qi Lin was the first to jump out, although he didn't actually know who the person in front of him was, "To be polite, people can not be beautiful, but they can't follow their appearance." ”
As soon as these words came out, even Xu Yunlong couldn't help but want to laugh.
Although Yang Yuanyi is not ugly, he is really 108,000 miles away from the word handsome, although everyone knows that it is immoral to casually comment on a person's appearance, but Qi Lin spoke their hearts, including the NF team members who followed behind.
"Brother Long, you also do this car." Liang Yu felt a little surprised, "It's been a long time." ”
"Long time no see." Xu Yunlong smiled.
"Who are you?" Qi Lin was a little unhappy, the person who could make Xu Yunlong answer must not be a simple character, "I look very familiar with God B." ”
"Hello, you're lin, I'm 340, NF's midlaner." Liang Yu introduced himself very gently.
"Ahh I know you, the one who lost to the hand god in five minutes! Qi Lin seemed to remember something and shouted directly.
Liang Yu's face darkened, although he still smiled, the corners of his mouth were already twitching.
"Qi Lin, stop talking." Xu Yunlong knew that Qi Lin couldn't control his mouth at all, so it was better to say less.
Although Qi Lin was a little reluctant, Xu Yunlong opened his mouth, and he could only keep his mouth shut.
Under the first arrival of Yang Yuanyi and Liang Yu, the first-team members of NF also arrived in this carriage.
"I didn't expect Xiaotang to make a mistake, we are in 8 cars, and they are in 4 cars." Ma Buren walked over with a chatter, and after seeing the OK people, his face was obviously not good.
Without saying a word, everyone in the NF sat back in their seats.
Along the way, only Zhu Quehuang and Qi Lin were chattering there, Ye Qiu occasionally replied, and the others seemed to be wary of each other, silently unable to hit half a fart.
Finally, after a five-hour trek (although they were just doing it), the two teams, totaling more than 20 people, arrived at the Hongqiao Railway Station in Shanghai.
