Chapter 224: Around the World

PS: It's a bit late to work overtime today, so I'm sorry to ask you to read this chapter tomorrow morning, I'll probably re-update this chapter around 2 o'clock.

"Good morning~"

With the sound of greetings, the heavy door was opened, and the cold air poured into the room through the crack in the door, and people shivered with cold. The man in the knitted sweater patted the snowflakes off his body, took off the scarf around his neck, and placed it on a nearby hanger.

"Good morning, it's been early today, Mark."

"I didn't expect it to be the end of March, and it's still snowing, and my fingers are going to be frozen like ice in this damn weather."

The man named Mark kicked away the mess of shoes on the tiled floor at his feet, and made room, put his shoes away, and walked into the house.

Today's training is about to begin.

The person talking to Mark is sitting in a leather gaming seat, looking intently at the screen. Compared to Mark, who walked in and was nearly 190 tall, the man looked very petite. He looked like an elementary school student, with short white blonde hair, populated candy in his mouth, and his feet couldn't even touch the ground when he sat in a chair. The young face is as lovely as an angel, but the black blindfold that covers the left eye makes this beautiful face a little flawed.

"What are you looking at, Steve?" After making two cups of coffee, Mark walked up behind the man who greeted him and placed one of the cups in the man's hand, "Six pieces of sugar, three spoonfuls of milk." ”

"Thank you. Mark. The one-eyed boy named Steve, smiled and picked up his coffee, with an uncovered corner of his other eye reflecting the image on the screen. Flashing with a strange brilliance, "The competition in the China Division." OK vs. SY. It seems to have been an accident. So it's a shame that there was only one game. It's rare to see bei using skills. ”

"Huh? Did bei actually use his eyes in this kind of small competition? Mark raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"yes, anyway, the opponent is also the old friend I haven't seen for almost two years." Steve moved his mouse over the fire cat's avatar and pressed it gently, "BGOD is back." ”

"What?!" Mark, apparently taken aback, immediately pulled out his chair and turned on his computer. Downloaded the game that Steve was watching.

After that, people walked into the training room one after another, but none of them distracted Mark. As if he had seen a game he had been longing to see, Mark didn't move half a minute until the end of the video.

"How does it feel?" Steve licked his lips and slipped a populace with a bear on it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Great." Mark said excitedly, "Two years ago, I was just a substitute and finally got into the main seat, but I didn't expect BGOD to be able to participate in international competitions. The C-position all over the world wants to compete with him. What a blessing. I didn't expect to get the chance to play against him in my best year. I really owe a debt of thanks to BGOD's teammates for their hard work. ”

"According to this grade. This year's International will also have a seat for them. Steve's face was filled with joy, "I lost to BGOD in TI2, but I still can't let go." This year. You have to be ashamed of it. ”

"Captain Steve, the coach called you." Just as Steve was about to move forward to watch the OK vs. SG match, a member of the team walked over. Said respectfully.

"yes, got it." Steve sighed. Stood up and pulled the cuffs. Turned around and walked to the coach's office.

After knocking on the door and getting permission to enter, Steve opened the door and walked inside.

What greeted him was a flag with the team logo hanging on the wall.

OneDirection, Team OD, Germany's premier giant, is also the overlord of the whole of Europe.

"Coach, you call me?" Standing in front of a man who wasn't really much older than him, Steve put his hands behind him like a student waiting for a lecturer to speak.

"Well, I'd like to talk to you about the SL tournament roster." The coach, who looked down through the papers, spoke in a flat tone and didn't look up at Steve.

"The usual members are fine, coach." Steve didn't give any constructive advice, "This time GS is only a second team to participate, and we don't need to come up with a killer idea, do we?" ”

"But the OK team is back." Speaking of this, OD's coach stopped what he was doing, looked at Steve and said, "This is revenge." ”

"It's just SL, it's better to get revenge on TI, what do you think?" Steve's attitude gradually became less respectful, and his stance became casual.

"The world is unpredictable, who knew that would happen in the last session, we lost to SY and only finished third. This time, if OK also participates in the war, there will be another layer of resistance in front of us. ”

"IMHO, coach...... It's better to call you Haydn. Steve interrupted the coach, "The current OK is only the opponent that BlinkX can call the opponent, and the other four people are nothing special and have no value to target." If we don't reserve all of it on SL, it will only make GS get good information, and it will also make us less likely to win the final championship on TI. So, I don't feel the need to make personnel changes. Mark wasn't yet when he was supposed to play. ”

Haydn looked at the petite man in front of him, but his actual age was close to 30 years old, sighed, said no more, and only stamped his own stamp on the list of appearances.

"Hurry up, let's get started."

Thomas and White, who came to the Internet café early in the morning, have already started practicing solo. White did not speak, but he looked at Thomas's face and seemed to have words in his mouth.

“…………”

"What are you doing, if you have something to say, just say it."

Somewhat irritated, Thomas killed a creep in front of him. But White still didn't say anything. It's just that he silently took away the creeps at the limit of the minions' HP.

"You speak."

“…………”

"Do you have any grievances?"

No matter what skills Thomas uses against him, White is still the same. With a slightly troubled expression, he returned the favor with the same skill. But he still glanced at Thomas from time to time.

After a few rounds of silent play. Thomas finally threw in the towel.

“…… I see. ”

Thomas put the mouse down and turned his head to look at the tall White's face. Although his appearance may make people a little scared and afraid to get close, he is actually a kind-hearted man.

"Forget it, how to say that we are also a member of the 'Iron Wall'."

Hearing Thomas's words, White nodded vigorously silently.

In order to apologize to captain Gonzalez, Thomas reluctantly returned to the base under the leadership of White. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Moore working on his muscles, which could be described as perfect. Of course, esports players don't need any muscles, and this futile sport is just Moore's personal interest.

"Oh. The problem child is back! ”

Moore, who was rolling around on the ground with his abs roller, smiled heroically. Thomas reflexively said, "No matter how much you do, your muscle-filled brain won't be able to react faster for a second." ”

"What?"

Moore's brow furrowed, and he stopped the wheel's movements. He didn't stand up, his knees didn't touch the ground, he just kept the same position and didn't move, it was really amazing.

"It's common sense that the nerve response has nothing to do with how solid the muscles are."

Thomas's words were prickly, and Moore finally stood up. Moore and Thomas, who were over 180 centimeters tall, stood behind them. The three of White, who were more than 190 centimeters tall, stood together, and the longitudinal space of the entire base looked smaller.

"What tendon ......? W-What? Is it protein? ”

"I'm not talking about tendons or protein. It's a neural response......"

Thomas wanted to explain, but Chinzalez, who was doing finger training, interjected.

"What's the matter, just let Al do what he wants."

Thomas snorted. Gonzalez was silent after a glance.

"Hey, Thomas, don't stop halfway through! What do you mean? Won't it get any faster? Don't they all say that the strength of muscles is the standard that reflects a man's speed? ”

A panicked Moore lifted the T-shirt he was wearing. While looking at the powerful six-pack muscles, Thomas said another extra word.

"Senior Moore really has a brain full of muscles."

"What?"

"Hey. Thomas! That's enough! Gonzalez stopped his finger training and looked at Thomas, who had stopped talking. I've already said you're going to spend a day in your dorm room reflecting on the day, what are you doing here? Quarrelsome? If so, then I think the second team will be a good fit for you. ”

Thomas's face froze, and he pursed his lips tightly, saying no more.

White looked down at his teammates and began to quarrel over trivial things, and the whole person became depressed.

It was then that White noticed a banner on the walls of the base. That was when they were founded at COOL5, and they set up a slogan to participate in TI, which represented the determination and will of the people, as well as the tone of the entire team.

The sun was shining in from the curtains that had been drawn to change clothes, and the dust was flying in the reflection of the shining light. White kept looking behind the dust, the slogans that everyone proudly hung on the walls.

'To be the most solid wall of America'.

White was shocked by the powerful words on the banner, and then, as if affected by the shock, he clung to Thomas's shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

White ignored Thomas, who complained, and silently pointed to the banner that Thomas had hung on the wall in the first place.

Thomas, pressed by White, looked up at the banner.

“…… Iron wall. ”

White nodded wordlessly.

"That's right, we're an iron wall, how can cracks start to appear from the inside......"

After taking a deep breath, he bent down at Gonzalez and said loudly, "I sincerely apologize for the damage I caused to COOL5's reputation this morning, and promise never to use violence again." ”

(Overtime is a bit late today.) So I'm sorry to ask you to read this chapter tomorrow morning, I'll probably re-update this chapter around 2 o'clock. )

"I'm looking forward to the day we fight." Xu Yunlong said in the usual polite tone.

"I will never give up Qimei to you."

"Hmm...... Well? "Suddenly, I heard a name that didn't seem to come out of place. Xu Yunlong was stunned for a moment, "Qi Mei? ”

"I know Chimi likes you. But I like her. So. I will never give her up to you. As long as it's OK, I'll never get a chance to prove that I'm better than you, so I've decided to leave. I want her to understand that I'm better than you. ”

Wait, Xu Yunlong shouted in his heart, he understood what Ye Qiu said, but he didn't understand. Let's leave, what does this Qi Mei have to do with it, and he is just a very ordinary friend to Qi Mei......

"So to speak. Why did you leave OK for this reason? Only then did Xu Yunlong react, and Ye Qiu suddenly said so many reasons to him.

Ye Qiu nodded, looking at Xu Yunlong's eyes full of hostility.

Xu Yunlong sighed, if Ye Zebei knew that Ye Qiu had jumped ship for this reason, he would not be angry and would rush over and slap Ye Qiu directly. But that's not what he can say. Although he didn't know which tendon was wrong with Ye Qiu, since he had already decided, presumably he wouldn't change his mind. Moreover, it has already become like this, even if he is convinced, others may not be able to accept Ye Qiu to stay without obstacles.

"I don't have that kind of affection for Qi Mei." Although it is known that there is no need. Xu Yunlong still explained.

"I know." And Ye Qiu's answer was also dry, "But she likes you." Because you're strong, she likes you, if I can prove I'm stronger than you. She'll look at me. ”

Although I don't know where Ye Qiu came from, it's always good to have a goal as motivation. After all, it was Ye Zebei's younger brother, and he didn't want this young man with considerable potential to stand still.

"So. Just keep it up. It's not that easy to beat me. Xu Yunlong didn't say any more nonsense. just patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and said calmly. "It's good to have pursuits, at least you know what you're doing, have a purpose, don't be blind, and that's enough. Have time to talk to your brother, he's worried about you. ”

After speaking, Xu Yunlong boarded the bus.

The next day, the organizers posted an apology letter on their official website, explaining the power outage last night and the decision to cancel the finals. Although there are many voices of dissatisfaction, especially OK fans, who are indignant, saying that they want to see OK turn around, but the wood is already in the boat, and this final in China ended with SY 1-0 God of War OK.

After the game, the Ukrainian authorities sent an invitation and informed them of the time of the game.

Half a month later, the SL10 offline international finals will kick off, and a total of 12 teams from all over the world will compete for the championship of this competition for a week.

However, to the regret of players all over the world, GS did not send the main first team to play this time, but let their second team participate in the SL Kiev offline this time.

But although he is a substitute player of GS, his strength is definitely not weak. In the North American division, he still defeated COOL5, won the first place in the North American division, and entered the offline finals with an undefeated game. In addition, Team IMAGE made it to the Grand Final.

On the other side of the European division, the German tank OD team won the first place in the division, and the other two promotion places were the Ukrainian local Haoqiang Energy team and the coldplay team of the fighting nation.

The Southeast Asian region did not surprise many people, and the strong teams are still strong teams, with Malaysia's Happyday and Singapore's Bigfeet both getting tickets to Ukraine. However, what is surprising is that the third place in Southeast Asia was not won by everyone's favored Smile team, but was won by South Korea's powerhouse Windwing. This is probably the most surprising result to date.

In the end, the African team from tempo won the championship, and although they failed badly in TI3, it seemed that they had trained harder and harder because of their valuable experience, and achieved good results.

Looking at the list of teams on the official website, Xu Yunlong had a headache.

This time, it was actually the second team of GS, not the main team of GS, which made him a little uncomfortable. After all, GS is the biggest obstacle on TI, and if you can't get some useful information now, then it will be difficult to get any useful information from the fight until TI, because there is no chance to fight again.

However, C5 and OD both participated, so it can be regarded as something to gain.

"Brother Long, the materials are ready, hand over the visa." Xiao Qingyue walked out with a few bags of materials, "The sooner you do it, the better." ”

"Well, tomorrow's plane will go back to Beijing, let's go to Beijing to do it." Xu Yunlong thought for a while.

"Okay."

After Xiao Qingyue finished speaking, she stopped talking and turned around and left Xu Yunlong's room.

Xuan Wu, who had not spoken, rubbed over after Xiao Qingyue left, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you and Sister Qingyue?" ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Yunlong asked knowingly.

"Come on, I saw it last night." Xuan Wu looked at Xu Yunlong with an expression of 'don't want to lie to me'.

"It's really nothing." Xu Yunlong smiled bitterly, "If there is anything, it will be a long time ago, why wait until now, how many years have I been with her." ”

"It's also ......" Xuanwu's rare gossip ended like this, "But it's not like I'm talking about you, let's think about it." (To be continued......)
