Seeing that the pre-game game was about to start, Zhao Qichen's current situation on the whole network was more or less understood, and the players rushed back from home to cheer up their captain in distress.

Zhao Qichen didn't see anything unusual on the surface, but Lin Qiuran knew that Zhao Qichen had a very bad temperament, that is, he would definitely choose to bury things in his heart when he was sad.

By the time everyone arrives, there is only a week left before the pre-tournament group stage.

The tournament took place in Las Vegas, and the players were looking forward to their World Championship debut.

"Captain, don't let these things disturb your own mentality."

Ma Monkey was very worried about Zhao Qichen's condition, and when he was in the rank in the past two days, he obviously felt that Zhao Qichen had lost his usual concentration.

It seems that even typing the keyboard and clicking the mouse is weak.

"Yes, yes, captain, it's the World Championship, even if we can't get too good results in the first year, we have to work hard to break the previous record of Mars."

It's rare for Chubby to be comforted.

"Sunshine senior, come on."

Even Mao Tao, who has always been silent, couldn't help but cheer for Zhao Qichen.

Zhao Qichen smiled weakly, his eyes slightly tired.

"I know, you don't have to worry."

That being said, the reality is not encouraging.

The players set off three days before the official start of the race, leaving one day to reverse the jet lag.

A little time, it's really in a hurry.

For Zhao Qichen, it is simply an even worse situation.

The knockout schedule was set long before they arrived in Las Vegas, with HG coming out on top with the third seed, and the fourth seed packing up and heading home.

There are 16 teams in the group stage, divided into four groups of ABCD, and the group will be determined by draw, provided that teams from the same region do not meet before the semi-finals.

Sixteen teams compete at the same time, but the top two teams are selected based on their ranking in the group.

This means that a large part of the reason for qualifying for the group stage is related to luck.

If too many strong teams are drawn, qualifying for the group stage will be a problem.

The results of the two matches on the first day did not surprise Lin Qiuran at all, and the game was a mess.

SOD's expertise in operations has not been brought into full play at all.

Anyone with a little bit of game skills knows that these two games are definitely the back of the command position.

That is, Zhao Qichen.

Decisions are not strong, hesitant, and these small mistakes directly lead to losing the lead in the game.

Lin Qiuran watched from the sidelines, and was also disappointed in Zhao Qichen's performance.

He knew that Zhao Qichen had a problem with his mentality in the past few days, but what he didn't expect was that he would collapse so completely.

At the end of the first day, in the hotel, Lin Qiuran and Wen Zhouxing held a meeting respectively.

"What are you fighting, is your performance today worthy of your training day and night in the past few months?"

Wen Zhou's jargon was very heavy, and he did not show any mercy to the team members.

"And you, as the captain, can you be a little promising."

Wen Zhouxing originally wanted to scold Zhao Qichen, but knowing what happened to Zhao Qichen recently, she didn't want to criticize anything, so she could only sigh helplessly in the end.

Although he will no longer sit in the competition seat, as long as he is in this specific environment, that feeling of blood boiling will eventually return.

"Venucia, you go down first and summarize the mistakes, Mao Yao, you will play the two games tomorrow."

When everyone was bowing their heads and not saying a word, Lin Qiuran made such a decision.

Not only the other team members, but even Mao Yao's eyes widened in horror.

"Sister Ran Ran, I'm ...... No......"

Lin Qiuran's eyes were fixed on Mao Taro:

"Do you remember what your Tibetan predecessors said to you before they sent you here?"

"If you keep being afraid to bloom in the light of your predecessors, no one will know your story, and you will always be just a substitute for SOD who can never be used."

"But...... The captain is the assault position, and my specialty is the sniper position. ”

"Can't you fight a surprise attack?"

Can't play well? It's impossible, the pros can play in almost all positions, but they have a specialization in the arts, and they will be better in their original positions.

Mao Yao shook his head.

"Since it won't, don't hesitate."

Lin Qiuran didn't give Mao Taro a chance to say more.

"I hope you can think about it, what are you coming to our SOD for?"

After speaking, Lin Qiuran took Zhao Qichen out directly.

The few remaining people were left to look at each other on the ground.

"Let's train, according to the grouping for tomorrow's game."

Although Wen Zhouxing also felt that Lin Qiuran's decision to temporarily replace Mao Taro was too bold, according to Zhao Qichen's current state, tomorrow's game is basically the rhythm of packing up and going home.

Ordered to fight to the death.

If Mao Taro can really stand up at such a time, the baptism of the competition will definitely help this young player a lot.

Lin Qiuran's good intentions can be felt by Wen Zhouxing.

As for Zhao Qichen.

Although Wen Zhouxing's heart has not been very happy after learning that Lin Qiuran and Zhao Qichen are in the same team, after all, it was Zhao Qichen who started first, and he was still his teammate who fought side by side.

"Hey, really, why are there so many this year?"

Chubby kicked the bench angrily.

"It's already a new year, you should say last year."

After correcting Chubby's mistake, the monkey kicked him to the bench in his own way.

Only the old wolf was calm, and persuaded his teammates not to worry too much.

Mao taro was on the side, clenched his fist tightly.

Not long ago, he came across almost the same script.

The team's leading brother was unable to play due to a situation, and he was moved out to sit in the starting line as a "savior".

What Lin Qiuran said reminded him deeply.

He came to SOD to fulfill the will entrusted to him by his predecessors, and he came to grow, not to blindly shrink behind his predecessors.

"Seniors, let's start training."

All you can do now is to seize the last time and improve your assault feel.

Seeing Mao Taro's tenacious expression, the team members who were still full of frustration seemed to be ignited.

"Let's get started."

Wen Zhouxing nodded, and he acted as a supervisor throughout the whole process, guiding on the side.

"The boss is gone, who will make the team decisions?"

The horse monkey asked such a question.

It stands to reason that this heavy responsibility should fall on Mao Taro's shoulders, but after all, he usually has no experience in commanding, and everyone is worried that he will not be able to stand it if he puts too much burden on Mao Taro at once.

"Let me do it."

Mao Taro's soft and glutinous voice sounded with unprecedented firmness at this moment.
