Chapter 217: Selecting

A wave, a wave...... I thought that the victory in hand was taken away in such a wave......

Zhao De sat on the chair in a daze, staring at the screen, feeling cold.

They failed, it was SY who qualified for Ukraine, and in the end, they did not make the cut. Although it is not a TI event, SL is one of the biggest international events, and it is something that every team wants to compete in.

"It's a pity." Zhao De muttered, but he didn't show any sadness, still smiling, standing up very calmly, patting everyone on the shoulder as he walked behind them, and motioned for them to go out and line up.

Sun Yan sat down in his seat with a lost face, stunned for a long time, until Zhao De patted him on the shoulder before a spirit reacted, got up on the table, and walked out a little dejected.

"Puff up your chest." Zhao De, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at his teammates, "Although it's a pity, we have done our best." Since you did your best, there is nothing to regret! That's not the point, there are still many games ahead, and the most important TI, you have more opportunities, so even if you lose this time, it's not a problem! Don't hang your head like a lost dog, the audience is watching. The fans who support us are also watching! Revenge on TI, that's what we're supposed to do! Got it! ”

"Yes!"

Loudly replied, the CODE team members gritted their teeth and swallowed tears back into their stomachs.

As Zhao De said, they still have a chance.

"TI, I'm not going to let you win anymore." After lining up, he shook hands with Ye Zebei and saluted. Zhao De said with a serious face.

"Victory will belong to SY." Ye Zebei looked at Zhao De and did not back down half a point. CODE is strong. He is well aware, but he firmly believes that SY is stronger. So much for.

"Okay tomorrow, do you have a solution?"

"For Xu Yunlong, the only way to do it is to play on the spot. Again, believe he thinks so. ”

"Yes." Zhao De smiled, walked sideways with Ye Zebei, and walked off the field.

"Congratulations to SY for tomorrow's final against the reorganized OK team, although both teams have successfully obtained tickets to Ukraine, but who is the first team in the country. I guess everyone is curious. So, don't miss tomorrow's final! I'll be here for you, too! The host said the end in an impassioned voice, and the crowd of SY was also surrounded by fans after walking off the venue to ask for autographs and group photos.

Ximen had already left the venue, and the OK people also packed up and went out together to return to the hotel after the results of the game.

As soon as they entered the door of the hotel, a group of five people found Xu Yunlong and Xuan Wu waiting for the elevator there.

"Just coming back?" Xiao Qingyue was a little surprised, after all, it had been more than half an hour ago since she received the text message from the two.

"Well, wandering around outside for a while." Xu Yunlong said hello to the individual and saw the elevator coming. Then he walked in, "I saw the CODE just now, it seems that SY should have won." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Qingyue nodded. Then he glanced at Xuan Wu cautiously, and gave Xu Yunlong another look.

Xu Yunlong saw Xiao Qingyue frowning and glaring, and he didn't understand what she wanted to do. Just as he wanted to ask, he heard Leng Duxue whisper in the back, "Where have you been?" ”

"Ugh. It's just going out for a walk. ”

"Really?"

"Really." Xuan Wu said before Xu Yunlong.

Hearing Xuanwu speak, Leng Duxue seemed to be relieved. The expression on his face softened.

After returning to the room, a few people simply cleaned up and gathered again for a meeting, but Ye Qiu did not appear.

"Do you have any plans for tomorrow's game?" Xiao Qingyue, as the manager, naturally wanted to know the state of her players, and asked dutifully after handing Xu Yunlong the record of the game data completed with Leng Duxue.

"Nope." Xu Yunlong replied without even thinking.

"Huh?!" Xiao Qingyue's eyes widened, and her beautiful face looked a little funny because she was surprised.

"The trick against SY has been used up when the double defeat occurred, and there is no point in thinking about anything for the time being. Ye Zebei also knew very well that there were a few of us, so he must have decided on the countermeasures a long time ago. I don't know what they're going to do now, so it's better to speculate here than to wait for tomorrow's final. ”

"Resigned to fate?" Xiao Qingyue couldn't believe that this kind of words actually came out of Xu Yunlong's mouth.

"It's not fate, it's improvisation. We have a total of a few sets of tactics that can be used to fight, since we can't guess what Ye Zebei will do, we can only make a decision after looking at the BP of his first two hands. Anyway, if we can grab the little Y here, we can grab the little Y. ”

Xiao Qingyue sighed, and suddenly felt so tired. Sure enough, unlike the OK when there was a sponsorship and a coach, she didn't need to think about anything at that time, just lead the team, which is like now, almost everything has to be thought about. But fortunately, there is still a Wang Shuang to help her, otherwise she would not have been able to come to Shanghai this time.

"I don't care how you want to fight, but you definitely can't fight too hard, it doesn't matter if you lose, the result won't be affected anyway, you all have to take good care of your health before you go to Ukraine."

"Got it." Xu Yunlong patted Xiao Qingyue's head, and then looked at the team members who were sitting in a circle waiting for him to speak.

"In today's game, you also saw what kind of team SY is. I don't want to say anything else, I'll just tell you one thing, SY is better than us. And in the world, there are many teams that are stronger than SY. This time it was our greatest luck to be able to enter the SL Kiev line. Maybe you think that in China, even SY may not be able to beat us completely, but in the world, we can crush our team in minutes, and for now, I can name five. Godensun,cool5,Energy。 OneDirection and HappyDay. And this year, I heard that there are many new teams that have emerged, many of which are new teams formed by the top players from some of the previous first-tier teams. Do you know what that means? ”

"We're weak?" Zhu Quehuang blinked and said.

"You don't have to think about it." Qi Lin shrugged. "It's only been two years old, and there's a game that's just getting started. It's a miracle to be able to enter the Kiev line. ”

"I don't think it's a miracle...... "Bai Hu pushed his glasses and said, "We're not weak, at least I don't think we're weak...... But they're too strong, so it's hard for you to win......"

Xu Yunlong stretched out his hand, facing the three of them, and stretched out his fingers as he spoke.

"Meaning, one, it's a good opportunity to get to know the level of the opponent, and at the same time to test what kind of ranking we are in the world; Two. We are definitely not weak, but no one ever knows what will happen next; Third, be prepared to be at the bottom and win the championship. ”

"I can understand the bottom, but ...... win the championship" Bai Hu frowned, "I don't think it's very likely, there should be hope for the top four, and there are not many teams in SL." ”

"It's like the China Trials, who would have thought that we would be the first to get a ticket? Most people are optimistic about SY and CODE. Xuanwu took over, "But we did it." We beat SY and got what everybody thought was impossible and we could get. No one can guarantee what will happen under the Kiev line, even if it is 1 in 10,000, we have a hope of winning the championship. Since the hope is not zero, then it is necessary to desperately seize it. Or rather. You want to lose? ”

"No, I hate losing." Qi Lin was the first to say.

"I don't know how strong those guys are, but I want to fight! It would be nice to have one more fight! Zhu Quehuang said with sparkling eyes.

"To win." White Tiger is concise in two words. But his eyes were full of conviction.

"That's fine. Tomorrow's game, although it is not appropriate to say such things from the standpoint of a captain. But I still want to say, whatever the situation. Fight with all your might. Remembering your oath when you decided to enter the professional world, we are oathkeepers, people who fight for our oaths and beliefs. Xu Yunlong stretched out his fist, "Come on." ”

"Oh!" The other four also stretched out their fists together.

Five fists collided together, and determination was affirmed once again.

"Huh? It felt like there was one less person. Just when everyone put down their hands, Zhu Quehuang suddenly felt that something was wrong, "We should have six people...... Yes! Xiaoqiu! I haven't seen Xiaoqiu until now! ”

"That guy, he must have been lazy somewhere, and he left so early in the afternoon. Ah~~ Maybe I'm going to fish for horses~" Qi Lin squeezed his eyes as he spoke, smiling evilly.

"Probably not." White Tiger said, "But he does look a little strange lately. ”

"Who knows what he's thinking...... But when it comes to the game, the performance is okay. ”

"Is it because he wasn't happy last time I stole the potato chips he kept in the fridge?" Zhu Quehuang frowned, "Just give him back a pack......"

"I don't think he's a man who would do such a thing because of such a trivial matter." Qi Lin was embarrassed.

"You don't have to guess anything, I think one day, he will tell us by himself, anyway, now have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's final." Xu Yunlong stood up, clapped his hands, announced the end of the meeting, and told everyone to hurry up and rest.

Xuan Wu got up with Xu Yunlong and was about to go back to his room to sleep, but as soon as he walked out of the door, he heard the voice of cold twilight snow behind him.

"Xuanwu, can you take a step to speak?"

Xuan Wu was stunned for a moment, Xu Yunlong understood, immediately coughed, and immediately said "I'll go out to buy a pack of cigarettes" and immediately slipped away.

walked out of the hotel and came to the store, in fact, he really wanted to replenish the number of cigarettes, but when the boss took out the cigarettes, Xu Yunlong realized that he didn't bring a wallet.

Before the meeting, I was sweating after walking a lot, so I took a shower when I went back, and put my wallet in my coat pocket, and my coat rested on the bed. He left in a hurry just now and didn't enter the house, so naturally he couldn't get his wallet.

"Uh, I'm sorry boss, I forgot to bring my wallet."

"You young man, what are you doing when you come out without your wallet, go and go, go back and get your wallet and come back."

Xu Yunlong could only sigh in his heart. turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't expect that a person had already walked to his side.

"Boss. Come to two packs of China. With that, he handed over the bill.

The boss immediately took two packs of cigarettes and handed them to the man.

"Please." And the man handed one of the packets to Xu Yunlong.

"Boss Ye is bold." Xu Yunlong is also unambiguous. After taking it, he tore open the package, "The smell of good smoke is different." ”

"If you smoke it, the little apple will be gone." Ye Zebei said that he looked for the boss again and wanted to buy a lighter.

Xu Yunlong took out the lighter he was carrying from his trouser pocket and handed it to Ye Zebei, and was glared at fiercely by the shopkeeper.

"I want to pass away a pack of cigarettes, and I feel a little lost."

"We're not the best team here, so you can spare me." Ye Zebei lit the cigarette and replaced the lighter with Xu Yunlong.

Xu Yunlong didn't speak, just held a cigarette and played with the lid of the lighter with his fingers. Make a tinkling sound.

"Do you want to go back?"

"Nope."

"I don't really want to go back, come with me."

"Okay, add another pack of cigarettes."

"You're going to have to bargain for that."

"Poor."

Ye Zebei turned around and bought another pack of cigarettes and threw them to Xu Yunlong, and then walked into the night.

Xu Yunlong put the cigarette in his pocket, but his face was a little faint, as if he was thinking about something, he just walked side by side with Ye Zebei and didn't speak.

The two walked silently on the sidewalk, one wearing a beige trench coat and the other simply wearing a white V-neck sweater. One looks a little sloppy and the other looks personable, such a combination can't help but make people want to look at it twice, and feel incongruous in their hearts. However, the two of them didn't care about the eyes of passers-by, so they silently watched the traffic. Walk forward quietly.

"I heard Xiao Guo say that you have also been dug up there...... Do you know who it is? After walking for about ten minutes, Ye Zebei still opened his mouth. No detours, straight to the point.

"Hmm. Oh, yes. Xu Yunlong exhaled a puff of smoke and watched the white smoke drift away in the night sky. The face is expressionless.

"May I ask, who is it?" Ye Ze looked at Xu Yunlong from the north side.

But Xu Yunlong didn't answer immediately, just tilted his head and looked at the dark sky.

There was neither moon nor stars in the sky, or rather, there should have been a moon and stars, but the lights of the city obscured the brilliance and made it impossible to see them.

"Forget it, it's okay if you don't want to say it......"

"Ye Qiu."

Ye Zebei stopped and was stunned.

"It's Ye Qiu." Xu Yunlong also stopped and repeated what he had just said, "Ximen An dug Ye Qiu. ”

"How is that possible? There's no reason for that...... None of you guys in the team can dig up him, can you? Ye Zebei's face became ugly, as if he had been hit by something, pale and pale.

"Ye Qiu is very strong." Xu Yunlong walked to the guardrail of the bridge connecting the road, leaned on it, and spit out the cigarette in his mouth, "In two years, he has worked hard to get stronger...... In fact, from the moment he asked to come to me, I knew that OK couldn't keep him. He's too ambitious, and I don't have a place for him here, so there's no way I'm going to have him in the number one position on this team, which is my pride and pride as a C. So his departure was already within my expectations. It's just that I didn't expect it to be such a time. I thought I could make it to the end of TI......"

"What did Simon give him?"

"C bit and 30W signing fee."

"Just for a C-position?" Ye Zebei laughed as if he couldn't believe it, "How could he do such a thing......

"I don't think it's a big deal. People who are willing to pursue their ideals have the possibility of success. It's just that in the future, it's no longer a teammate but an opponent, and it's always a pity to think about it. ”

"Simon is just using him, doesn't he understand that? As soon as a better candidate comes along, he'll be kicked out immediately! Ye Zebei slammed his fist on the guardrail, his brows furrowed, "That idiot ......"

"I think he knows that." Xu Yunlong threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with his foot, "Ximen looked for him quite early, but it should have been decided in the past two days." He must have hesitated for a long time. ”

"I don't know what he's thinking anymore." Ye Zebei sighed, "How can I say that he is also my brother, I don't want to see him frustrated......"

"Are you a brother?"

"Huh? What is that? ”

"I mean you're thinking too much, Ye Qiu's kid, if he can really be hit, he won't be able to do it when Huzi comes to us. But didn't he just keep going? I asked him to play from the second position to the fourth position, at least go to Simon's, he can adapt to different positions, and he shouldn't be kicked. ”

"Simon's comeback is just for TI, he wants to form the strongest team and then do it for half a year, and then disband after winning the championship."

"That's a bit difficult, the championship is OK for us." Xu Yunlong smiled, and the expression on his face relaxed.

"You're thinking too much, it's time for us to win the championship this year." Ye Zebei immediately fought back, and after exhaling a breath, he smiled bitterly, "You guy, it's really still very annoying." ”

"Each other, each other." Xu Yunlong said with a smile.

"I don't think beating Simon's team at TI will change anything......"

"That was after the defeat. After doing everything we can, the subsequent results, whether good or bad, are no longer beyond our control. Relax, games are for enjoyment, not for pain. ”

"That sounds familiar."

"Feng said it."

Ye Zebei was clear, only closed his eyes, and hid his uneasiness and apprehension in the night wind. (To be continued......)
