Does Love at First Sight Exist in E-Sports?

Just settled in Yiyou Building, the team members of Noah's Ark are still in the stage of familiarizing themselves with the new environment and state adjustment. The environment of Yiyou Building is indeed much better than that of their previous clubs. What impressed Shao Han is that the person in charge of Yiyou Building responsible for their settlement actually prepared the convenient game equipment on the left for him.

When Shao Han opened the game to prepare for training that afternoon, he found that one side of his earphones didn't ring. He had to first suspend the style of the spare headphones in the training room. He was not used to it, and it was uncomfortable to use. It also affected his performance.

Good headphones are not cheap. Shao Han usually uses a pair of headphones for as long as they can. He asked the teammates that no one had too many headphones. They can go to the e-sports city to buy tomorrow, but the training arrangements tonight will have to be delayed.

Shao Han thought of Yao Sen somehow.

Finally, Shao Han sent a message to Yao Sen, asking if he had any extra headphones. The latter quickly replied that he had, and he can get it now.

When Shao Han was in the past, four people from the Titans team were watching a broadcast of an e-sports game in Yao Sen's bedroom. When Shao Han came to Yao Sen's dormitory for the first time, he couldn't help but looked around curiously.

There are two beds in the bedroom, and the blue-grey bed sheet has some personal surroundings and books on the bed shelf, and it is neatly organized. Even the sheets on the bed are not wrinkled. Compared to Wang Yuxi’s bed, it’s a bit terrible, and a variety of charging cables and snacks are piled up with item racks.

Shao Han couldn't help but said to Yaosen: "Your bed is neat."

Wang Yuxi: "It's a mess, I heard that you have to come..."

Yao Sen coughed, and Wang Yuxi changed his mouth in good manner, leaned over to hook Yao Sen's shoulder, and his face was filled with a professional smile from the captain of the pit for twenty years: "No, I mean our boss's life is very exquisite, every day Drink 82 years of Lafite while bathing in Icelandic mineral water. Alas, the taste of being a goddess is really **** sweet."

Yao Sen: "Pharaoh, I want to be said straight, without turning around."

Shao Han couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth, and the whole person was rarely soft. He smiled as if there was light in his eyes, shining in Yao Sen's heart, and the scorching heat rose up.

For the sake of Shao Han's smile, Yao Sen didn't care about Wang Yuxi any more, but directly waved his trotters and stood up to get Shao Han's headphones.

Yao Sen opened a drawer in the locker. "You just pick it."

There were six or seven different headphones in the cabinet, and Shao Han was surprised: "Why are you so many?"

"Some are bought by me, some are sent by sponsors, and some are sent by the brand for public relations. I have never used them."

Shao Han picked a random one and said, "Thank you, I will go back to E-Sports City to buy a new one tomorrow."

"OK, are you still training so late?"

"Well, I haven't adjusted my status recently, so I need more training."

Soon after Shao Han left, Yao Sen received the news from Coach Hou, saying that he would give a short meeting to four of them before training tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock. It was about WCAD.

Yao Sen: "Look at the meeting at two o'clock tomorrow."

Wang Yuxi: "Ah? I'm going to go to Baiyue to have a good meal at noon tomorrow."

"When are you going to stop waves?"

At two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Coach Gou brought the four members of the Titans main team to the conference room. One person gave a document with the daybreak warning World Finals logo printed on the cover.

Yao Sen: "What is this?"

"Results of WCAD's latest game system changes." Coach Hou replied, "You have a good look. Some game systems are used for the first time next year. We haven't trained yet and we must remember them carefully."

Yao Sen wondered: "I came out so early this time? Don't you have to wait until the beginning of the year in previous years?"

"This time the system has changed a lot, tell us a few months in advance." Coach Go looks serious, "And from the previous two-round system to a three-round system, to be honest this is not good for us, next year's ranking is not easy to take ."

In the past years, WCAD has been a two-round system for qualifiers and finals. With the increasing number of registration teams, the organizer revealed the meaning of wanting to change the system as early as half a year ago, and now it is finally implemented.

Yao Sen opened the file and scanned it carefully. The qualifiers and finals of previous years were changed to qualifiers. There will be a group stage, and the winning team in the group stage can successfully qualify for the final.

The three rounds also use different formats. The qualifiers and finals are as usual with points and double defeats. The very crucial group stage uses the Swiss round for the first time.

Titans takes the style of one-time power suppression and is not suitable for long-term consumption. The emergence of the Swiss round system increased the game time and compressed the previous 32 teams to 16 teams, which undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of qualifying.

The best result of the Titans in the WCAD event is that Yosemori has not been the seventh captain before becoming the captain, and that was already a few years ago. The WCAD tournament is held every two years, after which the Titans have not entered the top ten.

Titans’ previous Asian championship team finished fifth in WCAD, and after Yoshinori became the captain of the Titans last year, that team was defeated by the Titans in the Asian quarterfinals.

Coach Hou: "Your minimum goal for WCAD this time is the fifth place. If you don't enter the top five, I will kick you four from Yiyou's top floor, and it will be mine."

"Don't go, Goo." Wang Yuxi said, "It's still half a year since we threatened us with such words. Our goal must be the first and second runner-up, right, Mr. Mori?"

Yao Sen: "As long as you don't wave, we will stabilize."

"You're confident, of course it's good." Coach Go said, "But don't take it lightly. The AFC Champions League was able to get fifth because that year the Swiss strong team OD did not participate in the upset because of the original player's injury. Serving."

"The best place that the domestic team got on WCAD is the Cobra runner-up, that is when the strongest Asian e-sports circle Lu Kaizhi has not retired." Bai Yue sighed, "To be honest, we have to take the ranking really Is not easy."

Lu Kaizhi, the former Cobra captain who retired five years ago, the game ID Kaiser. In the few years he became the captain, Cobra has won the Asian championship. He also led the Cobra to defeat the North American regional championship and won the WCAD runner-up. It was also the only Chinese team that entered the top three.

Coach Gou hummed: "I just want Bai Yue, who understands, to pour more cold water on you."

Wang Yuxi: "Afraid of anything, hasn't Yao Sen been called Xiao Caesar before?"

Song Mingzhe, who has been sitting and reading the rules of the game carefully, couldn't help but say, "Our captain is better than Caesar."

Song Mingzhe has ten sentences and nine sentences, and there is another special one.

"Caesar has fought me, he is very strong." Coach Gou stared at Yao Sen slowly, "However, Yao Sen will definitely be stronger than him, I'm sure."

The four people were stunned for a while. The coach did not harm them usually. Sometimes they scolded them to the point where they had to wonder if they would play the game. It was rare to praise them so bluntly.

When Yao Sen was just famous in the e-sports circle, he was called "Little Caesar" because of his similarities with Lu Kaizhi. To be honest, Yao Sen and Lu Kaizhi are not the same people in the e-sports era. No one likes his own efforts to be named by him. Although Yao Sen has not said it on the face, he is somewhat against it. He also regretted that he had not been able to be active with Caesar at the same time, otherwise he might have a chance to compete with him.

Wang Yuxi: "Coach coach, do you think that Kao Sen is playing against Caesar in his heyday, who can win?"

"The score of the five games will probably be three to two."

"Yu Mori?"

"Yu Mori."

The atmosphere in the training room was momentary.

"But don’t forget, what I just said is not that Yomori must be stronger than him, but that Yomori must be stronger than him. When next year, Yomori and Caesar play, I think the score of the five games will be four to one, Yomori Four. Coach Gou said seriously, "I said these are for you to remember, when the four of you are not the most powerful now, there are still many people who can defeat you. But this is the most important half a year, it will be you It's time to beat others to cry and cry."

E-sports has only one criterion for winning or losing. This is another industry where young blood is constantly changing. No one knows how long the current myth will be surpassed by the rising stars-but as long as their name can be remembered by someone, then they will Pour your last passion.

On that day, Yoshinori had been thinking about these things on his way back. Caesar led the Cobra in the heyday and the Titans now have won the Asian championship and placed their goals on the longer-term WCAD championship.

And that year the Cobra still missed the championship very regretfully, and soon after that Caesar announced his retirement. In the final of the WCAD double-loss system, Cobra has maintained its victory, but was finally defeated by the winner of the losing group, which is also a big regret in the history of domestic e-sports.

At that time, it was Odin Odin, Switzerland’s strong team that won several championships, and the industry said that Cobra’s loss to Odin was also expected, because Odin had a serious mistake at the beginning of the double defeat Will fall into the defeat, really against Cobra is indeed not Odin's opponent.

The two teams of Odin and Lincoln of the United States will always appear in the final field. This time is the championship of Odin, the next is the championship of Lincoln, and the two teams have never fallen out. Top three.

In the next game, Odin and Lincoln will also be the biggest challenge for the Titans.

Yao Sen walked into the elevator. The elevator stopped on the ninth floor. After the door opened, the person standing outside the door turned out to be Shao Han.

Shao Han was startled. "I'll return your headphones."

"Thank you." Yao Sen took the headset in Shao Han's hand. "Which one did you buy?"

"Steelseries's new model." Shao Han replied, "Then you go back, I won't disturb you anymore."

Yao Sen thought for a while, and suddenly grabbed the elevator door that was about to close and came out, "I want to talk to you, are you free?"

Shao Han was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

The two came to the lounge on the common floor of the building. Yao Sen sat on the sofa and let his head rest against the back of the sofa. Shao Han sat down next to him, separated from Yao Sen by a dozen centimeters.

Yao Sen suddenly asked: "Do you know Lu Kaizhi?"

"You know, the captain of the Cobra team five years ago, the runner-up of WCAD, the game ID Caesar." Shao Han paused. "What's wrong?"

"Do you think I look like him?"

Looking at Shao Han's expression a little surprised, Yao Sen smiled again: "It doesn't matter if it looks like, anyway, I was really felt that way by many people."

Shao Han shook his head: "You are different."
