Two-Way Sniper

"...Do you want to fight the ZG team for the airport?"

Hearing Qi Xingzhou tell the reason, Shen Ye's mind was blank for a moment, but the other party was calm: "Yes, anyway, when we are in China, the airport is also one of the regular selection points for our team."

"So... what do you mean now?" Shen Ye frowned, "Cooperating with us in violation of the rules? Do you know that if it is found out, it will be suspended."

"Banned?" Qi Xingzhou's expression was not turbulent, "It's because we are facing ZG, the empress, that everyone will avoid this route. In fact, there are a lot of supplies at the airport, and it's normal for anyone to jump, not to mention that we haven't jumped before. But—we will try our best in the early and mid-term, if we don’t play well, it will drop from eighth to tenth, the difference is not big anyway, we will be sprayed, if the effect of the sword is not bad, then it will not be a loss.”

"...You know it's just in case??" Shen Ye clicked his tongue and lowered his head to touch a cigarette, already fully understanding the meaning of the young man in front of him.

Although Hunting Shadow's team conditions are not bad, compared with IS, SE, Awakening and other old-fashioned clubs that rely on the rich second generation or live broadcast platforms, they still lack a lot of popularity and topics. Their sudden emergence in this qualifier accounted for a The number of places to go abroad has "offended" many fans of the big teams, and even the former "passerby fans" have less to say.

Of course, before the start of TIPC, it was inconvenient for everyone to attack because their team lost to Hunting Shadow in the qualifiers. Now their performance in foreign countries is mediocre, and fans of SE and awakening will naturally not let them go, and only insults are left to comment on the game; IS team Seeing the team falling to fourth place, many fans couldn't help saying: There is still hope for fourth place, can the orphans stop taking loans first?In any case, it is also the strongest team in the country. I think it is just a matter of status. Look at Hunting Shadow, is that embarrassing? ?

So in this circle, the worst thing is a team like Hunting Shadow, which has good results but can't be a topic of conversation--in the domestic situation, the three major teams are all powerful and good at marketing. I also know that buying hot search and selling CP to brag about their appearance, AOG and the like are macho with a strong style and often play memes on Weibo. They can attract a lot of viewers with their flirtatious words, but Hunting Shadow is a bullshit. be recognized by the audience.

Before successfully qualifying in the qualifiers, their results were already better than many teams, but they didn't get any rewards.

For this reason, they also thought about getting close to Xue Xue, who had a lot of fans, and it was a bit of a rush to jump the wall-so in a sense, Shen Ye, who was well versed in business, sympathized with them.

"So you want to say that you will increase the possibility of overtaking us in a disguised form. If you succeed, it will be a win-win situation. If you fail, you will be ruined. At worst, you will continue to be scolded?" Shen Ye's eyes darkened, "...the idea is good, even if you can't do it Losing ZG is also very likely to hinder their progress. In case we overtake or reach a standard that is glorious to lose, plus the feud between Chinese and Korean audiences, your rhythm can increase the team's favorability a lot. That's it. ?"

"...Yes." Qi Xingzhou nodded, "That's what I'm thinking about at the moment."

"Now you're smarter." But when Shen Ye praised him, the smile on his face was faint, "Then you just do it directly, why do you still tell me? Do you want me to treat you to dinner? I am Those who are very poor can only sacrifice their lives for the team to pay for it.”

"..." Qi Xingzhou's usual paralyzed facial expression twitched, he calmly shook his head and said no need, while Shen Ye pondered for a moment, feeling empty in his heart.

He used to stick to his choice with a meager salary, dreaming that one day he would see e-sports flourish and be recognized by others, and no one would have to sleep in the train station with a quilt on their backs to play games-now they have achieved it, but there are still people who are at a loss in front of them , intending to give up the heart of a child.

——However, are they really willing to pave the way for the IS team?Shen Ye felt that the answer must be no.

"Actually... you are not sure whether your decision is right or not, so you came to me, right?"

In front of Qi Xingzhou's gloomy expression for a second, Shen Ye couldn't bear it: "Xingzhou, did you see yourself being scolded? Why do you want to watch such things during such an important game?"

The other party shook his head: "...It's the game news that Weibo sent me directly."

"...Oh." Shen Ye smacked his lips, "It's cold that day, and tomorrow I will ask Mr. Ou to buy Weibo."

"..."

Finally, the other party was amused, and Shen Ye also breathed a sigh of relief, patted him on the shoulder, and told him: "Of course it is a free tactical choice to fight for the airport, but if you play a game, it is not to make the best choice for winning, but to please." Audience, then there's no point."

The young man in front of him lowered his eyebrows, wondering if he was waiting for his answer, so he continued: "Remember, as long as the game starts, your goal is to eat chicken for yourself, not for the audience, for the so-called glory of the competition area, For anyone. I have always admired the Rays with more business acumen, but this does not mean that you are wrong-playing games should be to enjoy the fruits of your own efforts, not a burden that is completely influenced by public opinion."

When he said this, Shen Ye also seemed to see himself clearly—on the surface he was calm and calm, but in fact he was radical and paranoid in his heart, thinking that he had some important historical mission on his shoulders, and he must complete it at the end.

If it can't be completed, it will affect the image of the competition area, drive away the audience, and drag down the reputation of the team-the last competition will be nothing but regrets.

If not, he would not be so anxious, nor would he take everything as a burden and would not tell his teammates.

But before the regret, there should be more important blood and dedication.

The matter has come to this point, no matter what the game situation is, he should return to the game with the same heart as when he first became an e-sports player.

As for the ending, you can have regrets, but you can't have regrets.

So Shen Ye quietly looked at Qi Xingzhou, took a puff of smoke, like a variety show instructor: "Tell me, why did you want to be an e-sports player?"

At this moment, Shen Ye thought that he was a good seedling with dreams, and wanted to talk to him about life and bring him back from the crooked road, but he was fine, his eyes flashed, seeing that he was about to answer "I have an e-sports dream", the voice came out But it was: "Ah? Oh... because I want to get close to God Cui."

"..." Shen Ye's expression collapsed, and he frowned and criticized him, "...Why the hell don't you play cards according to the routine??"

Qi Xingzhou was obviously dissatisfied and puzzled, but Shen Ye had already walked over and rubbed his hair: "Okay, don't think too much, go back and have a good sleep, I know how to fight tomorrow, I know all of you You are very good, and the audience will definitely recognize you in the future."

After speaking, Shen Ye still added, "Thank you brother, I suddenly feel that my role as a guide is still useful to you young people"——while Qi Xingzhou accepted it embarrassedly, but still felt apprehensive: "Then... What if the audience still doesn’t accept us in the future.”

Before pushing him back to rest, Shen Ye replied with a smirk, "If you can't do it, you can fire cp with me", which made him look like he wanted to defend his idol Cui Shen like a jade, and he could only promise that he would fight hard tomorrow, so he hurried Leaving, even forgetting to thank you.

But Shen Ye knew that this might be the answer that Qi Xingzhou really wanted-there seems to be no shortage of successors on the field, and he himself should also let go of the burden and return to his heart, welcome the game with his teammates, and truly embrace the competition. "No regrets".

***

By the porch, just as Shen Ye sent Qi Xingzhou away, a call from Cui Xuezhi lit up on the phone screen.

He hesitated for a while, but still picked it up, the voice on the other side was really heavy, and said a lot to him.

For example, Xiao Qi guessed about you, tried hard to finish the game, but the pain recurred, and he was wronged and hurt after being blacked out by you; for example, Qin Jue blamed himself and regretted not being with you after learning the truth about both sides. Arguing and crying directly; for example, Xuehe became emotional after realizing that he was actually here to fill the vacancy of the captain’s retirement——Shen Ye was flustered after hearing this, and gradually gritted his teeth: "... who the hell is talking nonsense to them?" of?"

The other side replied: "Who else can it be, your old Laiqiao coach Lao Liu, isn't this wave of operations showing off? I don't think we need to play tomorrow's game."

Shen Ye cursed a few words, then ran to the elevator, unfortunately, he met DEMON there.

After the other party was surprised, he looked disdainful again: "Oh, look, isn't this our strongest all-around player, Luo Ye? It's a pity, it's only fourth. My team is good at the FPP mode, and the TPP mode will let that woman win Right—but you are different, your last World Series will be a regret and a nightmare."

Shen Ye couldn't fully understand, but he understood his schadenfreude. It's just that before getting out of the elevator this time, Shen Ye was no longer moved. Boring arena.

When he becomes famous, he can still be infected by the pure and enthusiastic hearts of others, as if he has captured the moment when he did not seek utilitarianism but only enjoyed the e-sports competition.

He knows that no one wants to go back to those days, but it is worth cherishing by the entire industry.

If Demon was watching him right now, he would probably also remember the first match they met when they were young.

Then when he arrived at the room where the coaching staff stayed, Shen Ye took a deep breath before he dared to go in. However, the scene when he opened the door was completely different from what he had imagined.

The aggrieved little rabbit Qi Ji in Cui Xuezhi's mouth was looking at him with a cigarette in his mouth. He clenched his fists and joints; but Chu Lianhe was sitting beside him, obediently nibbling bread, with a simple and indifferent face.

?

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then heard Qin Jue say, "Here you go, son?"

A bad premonition rushed into Shen Ye's heart in an instant, and before he had time to look suspiciously at Cui Xuezhi, Liu Ze said, "...I tried my best to be sensational, brother, but in the end, everyone just blamed themselves and worried about Xiao Qi. I'm still dissatisfied with you for hiding the truth, so get ready to be beaten."

So before returning to the team to listen to tomorrow's tactical arrangements, Shen Ye barely survived after Qin Jue held his neck and asked him ten times, "Do you dare to do it next time?" Liu Ze stepped forward.

"Discuss the implementation of new tactics, don't forget our slogan, two horizontal and one vertical, just do it."
