Chapter 158: The Semi-finals Are Coming [Second Update]

In the chat window, Lin Xiao continued to persistently persuade the electric magnetic bar:

Come to our team, you Thunder have played the LPL for two years, and you haven't made it to the World S League, don't you have a little regret? 〗

Lewd stick: "Nonsense, of course there are regrets, but can I join your team and I can enter the S-League? 〗

Lin Xiao sent a confident expression patting his chest: "Don't worry, the world champion of the S League will definitely be ours!" 〗

Lewd stick shì: "I can really brag, don't even be able to kill the national service league at that time." 〗

Lin Xiao: If you are here, we can definitely do it! 〗

Lewd stick: 『Tut-tut, this fart is a good shot, but let's die! I won't be fooled by you! 〗

After a long time of persuasion to no avail, the obscene stick at the end of the chat window threw down a sentence: 『Unless you can get back 002 and 003, I won't consider joining your team! 〗

Lin Xiao sighed and typed: If that's the case, why do I want you, an old immortal guy, to do it. 〗

And so the conversation between the two ended.

After closing the chat window, Lin Xiao fell into deep thought while eating chocolate.

Although he didn't succeed in fooling the lewd stick, it also provided him with an idea.

If he simply wants to find some passers-by with a good level, then even if the team members are gathered, it will take a lot of work to train and improve to the professional level.

Therefore, if you can directly find some ready-made professional and semi-professional players to recruit into the team, then the problem of their team's combat effectiveness will basically no longer exist.

But who should I turn to......

Lin Xiao's eyes wandered back and forth in his QQ friend list column, moving the mouse to click on the dialogue window of a friend's avatar, and sent a window shake to someone with the note named "facial paralysis":

『Old desert, old desert, not there. 〗

After a while, a simple one-word reply was sent from the other side: 『In』. 〗

Lin Xiao warmly invited: 『There is still a shortage of people in my team, are you interested in transferring the club to me to play the middle single, our original middle single can give you the position——』

There was silence on the other side.

In the middle of the night, a message from Frost Indifferent River popped up in the chat box, just two words, straight and concise:

Idiots. 〗

Then Lin Xiao went to QQ to harass the slut and the empty hand, the former's reply was a long and rambling discussion, summing up 100 reasons why he couldn't come to Lin Xiao's team, and the latter sent a string of ellipses speechlessly.

In short, the invitation failed.

"These guys don't talk about friendship at all......"

Lin Xiao sighed regretfully.

……

After school on Friday morning the next day, Lin Xiao went to the Great Wall Internet café as usual.

As soon as he stepped into the VIP box, he felt that the atmosphere in the box was a little strangely quiet and solidified.

"Eh, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xiao was curious.

"The list of semi-final matchups is out—"

Brother Liu looked at Lin Xiao and explained in a somewhat complicated tone: "In this game, our opponent is the Jinshi team. ”

It's really a coincidence, in the last Internet café league, the Great Wall team and the Jinshi team met in the semifinals and were defeated by the latter, but I didn't expect that this time, the two teams actually met in the semifinals again.

"Providence is like this-" Qian Youlu sighed, and the light in his small eyes flickered slightly: "God destined that the beam between us and the Jinshi Internet Café must be settled in the same place." ”

Mao Zi licked his somewhat dry lips, with a cruel and bloodthirsty expression on his face: "Damn, that's right, anyway, I can't wait to teach that group of trash a lesson that I will never forget-"

Ah Chuan smiled honestly: "Sunday semi-finals, the next two days, let's train hard." ”

Lin Xiao was highly motivated: "Okay, I'll be a staff officer for you!" ”

……

In a flash, another two days passed.

In the past two days, everyone in the Great Wall Internet café team has been training in formations and rehearsals almost day and night, and Lin Xiao also came to stay in the VIP box of the Internet café almost as soon as he finished his homework, constantly putting forward various constructive suggestions to several members of the team, and helping to make various tactical arrangements.

It can be said that after two days of high-intensity training, the Great Wall team as a whole has been improved to a fairly ideal state, and the breakthrough in strength may not be realistic, but at least in terms of tacit understanding and tactical execution, the five have achieved the best that can be achieved so far.

Next, it's time to adjust your mindset and go for the battle!

At six o'clock on Sunday night, Lin Xiao rode his bicycle all the way to the Great Wall Internet Café, and then followed a group of people from the Great Wall Internet Café to gather and take a taxi directly to the Yintai Commercial Building, the venue of the competition.

In the taxi, Lin Xiao noticed that Jiang Ran beside him had a somewhat unsightly expression:

"Eh, Jiangran, didn't you rest last night, okay?"

Jiang Ran shook his head: "It's okay." ”

Lin Xiao looked at the other party's somewhat pale face and the bloodshot in his eyes: "It's really fake...... With such a bad face, you wouldn't have slept at all last night, would you? ”

Jiang Ran hesitated.

Lin Xiao was surprised: "You really didn't sleep?" ”

Jiang Ran nodded: "I couldn't sleep, so I played a single row for a while." ”

Lin Xiao shook his head again and again when he heard this: "It's going to be a game today, if you can't guarantee a good mental state, it will be easy to affect your performance after you get on the field......"

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, looked at Jiang Ran, and doubted: "It can't be because of the pressure of the game, too nervous, right?" ”

Jiang Ran hesitated again and said slowly: "Today, I can't lose." ”

Without the other party's explanation, Lin Xiao can clearly understand the reason for Jiang Ran's "can't lose" - the champion of the Internet café league has a bonus of 50,000 yuan, and if he is eliminated in the semifinals, it will be 10,000 yuan at most, and the difference will be seven or eight thousand yuan for each person.

For Jiang Ran, the cost of treating his mother for preliminary surgery is already a heavy amount of money, so he is determined to win the championship bonus of the Internet café league this time, and he must not afford to lose!

Merely......

Lin Xiao looked at Jiang Ran's abnormally pale face, and sighed a little in his heart:

If the pressure is too high, it's hard to say how much form you can play after you play.

……

A few minutes later, the Great Wall Internet Café arrived at its destination.

Take the elevator up to the twelfth floor of the commercial building, and as soon as you go out, there is a burst of hot and lively noise in the competition hall arranged in the central hall.

Today is the semi-finals of the Internet Cafe League, and the organizers and planners of the event have specially arranged 200 more chairs in the venue, that is, there are more than 700 seats for spectators, but the competition venue is still full at this time, crowded and noisy.

"Damn, MD has a lot of people today-"

Maozi couldn't help but exclaim.

Brother Liu on the side smiled: "Yes, the popularity of this Internet café league is still very high." ”

The old focus nodded: "In front of so many audiences, we have to fight hard." ”

At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly found that there were many familiar figures in an audience not far away.

"Hi Xiao Zi Xiao Zi! This way! ――”

Someone in the audience not far away also noticed Lin Xiao and the others who came out of the elevator, and waved their hands to say hello.

Lin Xiao recognized the other party at a glance and was surprised: "Oh, Hezi!" ”

So everyone in the Great Wall Internet café walked quickly towards the audience over there, but Lin Xiao unexpectedly found that there were not many acquaintances here.

The class leader, Luo Xiaoyu, Chen He, senior sister Tang Guo at the same table, and many students from classes seven and eight, there are more than 20 people in total!

This is all knowing in advance that Jiang Ran's Great Wall team is going to play the semifinals today, so help cheer for it!
