Chapter 88: The Dormant Spike
The departure of Little Rainbow also means that every member of the SOD team has completely turned the page on winning the elite competition, and there is a longer and more exciting journey waiting for them.
After Lin Qiuran returned to the base after sending Xiao Caihong, he quickly sorted out the pre-game information into a file, bound it in quadruplicate and sent it to each team member.
"Remember, this tournament is about tickets to the World Championships."
In fact, there is no need for Lin Qiuran to say more, they all know the importance of this game.
When the team was formed last year, SOD didn't have time to participate in the pre-tournament, so naturally it missed the World Championship.
However, according to the experience of normal teams, it is generally very difficult for new teams to complete the "triple jump".
SOD has gone through the national runner-up to the elite winner, and to some extent it is also a baptism for this team.
As long as they finish in the semi-finals before the tournament, they can qualify for the Worlds.
Last year's Mars qualified first in the pre-tournament, but stopped in the semi-finals at the World Championship, and domestic e-sports fans unanimously believe that the domestic team is still too weak, and it can't even find a team that can take a shot to compete with foreign regions.
As an esports player, everyone's highest wish is nothing more than to win the World Championship.
Zhao Qichen is no exception.
He believes that SOD is gaining momentum.
Only by seizing the opportunity of the pre-match will they be able to seek the opportunity to go further.
It's impossible to eat a fat man in one go, and although the champion is tempting him all the time, Zhao Qichen also has to admit that their team is far from last year's world champion King.
So now, their first step is to go out of the country and occupy a place in the world arena.
"I agreed with the person in charge of 'God of War Live' to negotiate the signing tomorrow, and you can train at the base with peace of mind and prepare for the pre-game, OK?"
After Lin Qiuran told them all the things that should be told, he informed them of his arrangements for tomorrow.
"Where?"
Zhao Qichen asked.
"A restaurant in the center of Jianglin District, I can come back before dark in the morning, is there any problem?"
When Zhao Qichen heard this, he frowned vigorously.
"Isn't it just to sign a contract, why does it take so long? No, I'm going with you. ”
Of course, Zhao Qichen doesn't know the complexity of the negotiation, and he will definitely go through the process again.
She said that she would probably be able to come back before dark, and that was already the best script.
Maybe Lin Qiuran will accompany the group of so-called responsible persons to eat, drink and have fun in the evening......
"Nonsense, why are you following me when I go to talk about business?"
Lin Qiuran refused ruthlessly without hesitation.
"I'm going to protect you, and I'll see the situation by the way......"
"I'm here to talk about business, not to fight, and I don't need your protection. Besides, what do you need to know? ”
Lin Qiuran glanced at Zhao Qichen, turned around and was about to leave.
"Why can't I just look at the situation? I'm the captain of SOD, I have the right to know if the live broadcast platform that is about to sign with us has enough conditions for us to nod our heads, I can't just sell myself and a few other team members, right? ”
Zhao Qichen's rebuttal made Lin Qiuran not know how to respond for a while.
With a slight pause, Lin Qiuran groaned for a while, and then nodded slightly:
"Well, in that case, you can join me tomorrow......"
Zhao Qichen silently compared himself with a "V" in his heart.
"But—"
Who knew that Lin Qiuran's words changed, and then said:
"You can't say a word more than I have permission at the negotiation table, and you can't start to play your own temper because of the other party's unreasonable demands, otherwise you won't talk."
Zhao Qichen nodded hurriedly, looking well-behaved.
A series of reactions really stunned the trio who had been interjecting beside them.
"One thing descends one thing, this is the truth of thousands of years."
The horse monkey couldn't help but sigh.
As soon as Lin Qiuran left, Zhao Qichen once again resumed his usual "dead face" for the trio.
To summarize in Chubby's sassy words, Zhao Qichen's "dead face" has the following characteristics:
One is expressionless, no matter whether you are happy or angry, it is the same;
the second is cruelty and ruthlessness, which is not only a fight in the game, but also a means of treating the players;
The third is a waste of expressions, that is, whether he is crying or shouting to protest against Zhao Qichen's tyrannical policies, he is ignored there.
"Turtle turtle, aren't we going to peel off our skin before this competition?"
Chubby couldn't help but worry about his future.
After only a little more than a month of preparation for the Elite Tournament, they already felt what torture is, and seeing that there were at least three months left before the competition, Xiaopang felt a tingling on his scalp.
"Captain, can you quickly get Manager Ran Ran done, and then allocate some energy to fall in love, and stay away from our lives?"
The horse monkey slumped into the gaming chair, his tone a little desperate.
What he didn't know was that this sentence just hit Zhao Qichen's pain point, only to see his eyelids raised and his tone sank:
"Don't talk nonsense, go online."
There was a wail.
The worst thing is that they still have to log in to the game obediently after wailing.
"The Elite is a thing of the past, and our goal now is to win the pre-tournament."
When Zhao Qichen said this, the trio all looked at each other.
If it is the semi-finals of the pre-tournament, they may be more acceptable.
Champion?
Don't you just take Mars seriously?
They will go out in the pre-game game and will definitely be a full lineup.
You must know that when Wenzhou led the team throughout the year, SOD was defeated.
This year, Wenzhouxing has withdrawn, and it is replaced by Zhao Qichen, who has strong personal ability, to lead the team, in fact, it is a proud thing to be among the top four.
The champion's tone is a little too big......
But after all, Zhao Qichen said this, and no one was embarrassed to refute it for the time being.
Zhao Qichen looked at the hesitant expressions of the team members, and immediately got their scruples.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and in the pre-game, our goal can only be the championship."
This sentence is like an encouragement and a stone, invisibly pressing on the chests of the players, making people a little breathless.
They deserve to be the champions of the elite competition, but in the pre-game, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.
Especially the old wolf who just saw a little progress.
The mood of being a little comforted by the affirmation was now filled with self-doubt.
Several people did not speak, but put away their thoughts and silently brought headsets.
The daily repetition of the training content is once again played out in the small training room.
But this time, it was as if a tiny thorn had been planted in everyone's heart.
I didn't feel any pain, because the spike was dormant in the soft ravine, and hadn't yet risen to burrow into the flesh.
