They answered a lot of calls that night, family members, friends, classmates, and some people who don’t usually communicate with each other sent blessings one after another. Fans fell out on Weibo as early as when they won the championship. In the next day, the entire network was swamped by the news that Fengyue team had won the championship.

City" World Championship has been blank for six years. Fengyue's victory is not only the first time for the Chinese team to win the championship, but also ends the Korean team's championship history for six consecutive years!

In addition, it also wrote about the experience of Chinese teams losing again and again at the hands of strong Korean teams. Maple Moon's championship was evaluated as a milestone leap in Chinese e-sports and opened the door of Chinese e-sports in front of the people of the world.

At the end of the article, some people predicted that if Maple Moon wins the championship, next year's "City of Despair" world finals will likely be held in China. This will be the first time that China will host a world e-sports competition.

E-sports fans were very excited about this, and ordinary netizens were also proud of the children whose average age was only in their early 20s after watching it.

Stars in the film and television industry, celebrities from all walks of life, and anchors, "Maple Moon" became a household name in just one night. The seven players are no different from the Olympic champions who won glory for the country. They are all Chinese heroes!

Netizens were so excited that they had dual screens. This night, the Weibo was occupied by the e-sports circle.

The GIF of Maple Moon's team winning, the wonderful replay of the game, the handshake after the game, the cheers of the audience, the appearance of the three commentators jumping up from their chairs... Even the Maple Moon players found it interesting to watch.

It's just that the topic is chatting, and the cod party members are restless again.

After Fengyue won the last team battle, the picture of Shen Huai pushing open the door of the soundproof room and rushing to hug Song Xueyang despite the referee's obstruction was made into a Gif, which was frantically reposted by netizens.

Topics: #羽神飞扑雪神#, #雪羽发糖#.

The cod party were so excited that they not only magnified the picture of Song Xueyang touching Shen Huai's head, but also made a heart special effect for the two of them on the moving picture, they were so spoiled.

【Ahhh!my cod! !What kind of sugar is this? It's so delicious!Snow God even touched Feather God's head! 】

【Snow God's expression is definitely gentle towards lovers!Seeing that doting smile makes my heart pound like a deer! 】

【With so many people, Feather God pounces on Snow God, still hugging him so tightly [funny]. 】

[Can you care about the stars beside me?He is still crying!Can you just hug each other like this? 】

[What kind of fairy CP is giving out candy every day!I also want to be a cod party with food! 】

Netizens looked at the actions of the two over and over again, and the analysis was so logical that they could see a hundred kinds of profound meanings in a small action.

At first, Hai Xing brushed the Weibo of the team's victory, but unknowingly fell into the world of Codfish CP and couldn't extricate himself.

How are you so smart?How do you say that's true?Why didn't I see it when I got along day and night?

Starfish looked at everyone's analysis, and unknowingly clicked a thumbs up.

It's over, and now the cod party is completely crazy.

#星哥 likes the cod party Weibo, suspected to be a real hammer! #

Really beat your sister!

Starfish's complexion was even uglier than crying.

"What should I do?" He looked at Song Xueyang and Shen Huai with a sad face.

The two didn't show too much intimacy after making it public with them, as if there was no difference from before, just an extra layer of fetters, and Hai Xing didn't feel uncomfortable at all, both of them were his good friends and important teammates .

Zhou Jing said calmly, "You are too careless."

Shi Yi also nodded, "You will cause trouble for the captain."

Even Zhou Jing said that about him, Hai Xing was even more sad, wishing to chop off his cheap hand.

The two parties did not respond, Shen Huai's face was slightly drunk, and he leaned casually on the back of the chair like a quiet and dull doll, "It's okay, let them talk."

Hai Xing said anxiously, "Shen Huai, you must be drinking too much! It's not good for the two of you to go public now, especially since the team just won the championship, fans will have a discounted impression of you!"

It was rare for him to speak so sternly, making everyone laugh.

"Don't worry, no one will take it seriously." Song Xueyang said that the phone rang, he glanced at the caller ID and said with a smile, "Here, the opportunity has come."

The caller was Chairman Hua from the China E-Sports Association, but when he hung up the phone, he heard Song Xueyang say, "The International Competition Committee has decided that next season's World Championship will be hosted by China, because we won this honor, Chairman Hua So the venue of the match was set in Shanghai."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and then cheered excitedly.

After Chairman Hua edited this news into Weibo and posted it on the Internet, the entire Internet was in a state of excitement. All cod party CPs stood aside. Everyone was proud of this honor.

Some people say that they can finally afford the tickets for the World Championships, some say they must go to the venue next year, and some experts believe that this is an e-sports diplomacy, and that China’s hosting of the World Championships is a way to spread Chinese culture, promote tourism, and bilateral cooperation. Great opportunity for trade development.

Everyone in Fengyue didn't think so far. They only knew that next year they would be able to participate in the World Championships without going out of their homes, and for all Chinese teams, they could finally enjoy the treatment of competing in their own country. Not convinced, and with more fans cheering and cheering, the performance of the Chinese team will only get better and better!

Song Xueyang toasted for the last time, "Everyone's hard work this year has been in vain. Let's make a toast to the motherland hosting the World Finals next year!"

"cheers!"

Everyone was a little drunk when they went out, but they had never had a better drink than this time.

Going back at night, Song Xueyang helped Shen Huai go upstairs. He could tell that Shen Huai was actually drunk, but just like when they first met, he would be quieter and more obedient when he was drunk. Maybe it was because he grew up in the entertainment industry. A trained instinct.

It's just that this time Song Xueyang was not as scrupulous as when they first met, and helped him take a simple shower, then helped him to bed, and covered him with a quilt.Shen Huai grabbed his hand and asked, "How is your hand?"

He was not easy to mention in front of his teammates before, but in fact he was always worried.

Song Xueyang patted his head, "It's okay, go to bed early."

However, Shen Huai grabbed him, sat up, and his eyes fell on him without blinking, as if he was half awake from the wine, "I didn't know how hard it is to be a professional player before, but now I have been playing for a year, and I am with you again." You have been together day and night for a year, don't you know how tired you are?"

He paused, lowered his head and said softly, "I don't hope that there will be no future games without you..."

Song Xueyang's heartstrings seemed to be plucked, he looked at Shen Huai's slender eyelashes under the light, his black eyes stared at the hands of the two, his hands were clasping his own tightly, as if announcing at the dinner table like that.

Song Xueyang knew that he had to answer this question solemnly.

He stretched out his right hand to show Shen Huai, that hand was slender and beautiful, the knuckles were bigger than Shen Huai's, but it was just right, giving people a generous and reliable feeling.

"It looks no different from ordinary people, but it will hurt after playing for a long time. When you bend your wrist, your fingers will feel a little numb, and you will feel pain and numb when you read and snipe frequently during the game."

"what did the doctor say?"

"In the early stage of carpal tunnel syndrome, you can take some anti-inflammatory and painkillers when you are sick, try to keep your palms up when you sleep, and use kinesio tape to assist in stretching. I asked the doctor to avoid putting your hands in one position for a long time and exercise more. It can guarantee the normal performance during the game. He also taught me a set of rehabilitation exercises, and I will show you."

Song Xueyang really did it, it seemed a little naive to do rehabilitation exercises, but Shen Huai took it very seriously.

Song Xueyang hugged him into his arms after doing it once, "Don't worry, I will pay more attention, and I will never let it deteriorate until you retire."

Shen Huai nodded, "We will retire together."

"Okay, I promise you." Song Xueyang patted him on the back and said softly, "I will definitely do what I promised you."

Shen Huai finally felt relieved, and fell asleep not long after lying in Song Xueyang's arms.

The next day was the awards ceremony. Everyone in Fengyue woke up in the morning and began to put on makeup. Today is not only a very important day in their lives, but also represents the image of China. Everyone put on their best mental outlook.

Brother Kun finally told them about today's itinerary, "There will be an interview after the awards ceremony in the afternoon, so you must be careful with your words and deeds, and don't say anything if you don't know whether you should say it, you know?"

Song Xueyang came over and pressed his shoulders, "Brother Kun, don't worry, everyone is even more nervous after being messed up by you."

Brother Kun muttered and walked away, "I'm more nervous than you!"

For the awards ceremony in the afternoon, they entered the arena an hour earlier, WG people also arrived, and the two families greeted each other. They couldn't help being happy when they thought that two Chinese flags would be raised higher than the South Korean flag tonight.

The members of the Rider team also arrived. Compared with Fengyue and WG, which are full of glory, they seem to be much more low-key, and they are also the last ones, as if they don't want to be disturbed too much.

Jin Chengjun nodded to them from a distance, as a greeting, Shen Huai also nodded to him, the two are indeed rivals on the field, but they are still a little unfamiliar outside the field.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the awards ceremony started on time, and the three winning teams sat at the front of the auditorium.

After the host gave a speech, he first invited Mark, the official chief planner of the American game, and Mark made an overall comment on this season's World Championship.

"...The team that surprised me the most in this year's competition is undoubtedly the FM team," he pointed his finger at Fengyue, blinked, and the audience immediately cheered.

"The combat style of the FM team is completely different from the usual and expected player's style of play in the past. At the beginning of our design, we positioned the snipers as lurking in the dark and harvesting, similar to the existence of assassins, but we can really do this. There are very few players, so in the adjustment of the sniper, we pay attention to his basic attack crit and skill CD again and again, so that he can stand out between the guns with good output ability and the mechanic who is the overlord of the ring. Some things are different."

"However, Snow's operation completely echoes our concept at the beginning of the professional design of the sniper. My companions and I have always hoped to see a sniper who can defeat the enemy from thousands of miles on the field, instead of using high-value critical strikes. It hurts the gunners who output melee. So in the future, the adjustment of snipers may be more focused on long-range sniping. I also heard the commentary in China say, oh, is it possible to cancel the skill reading? Of course! We have thought of a very A great way to balance this, and of course Wing's assassin is also within the scope of our planned changes, we have seen your efforts, and hope that the upcoming updated version can give you a satisfied assassin!"

Netizens praised the American company and Niu Niu after hearing this.

[Fuck, it's official this time!It's not that someone is so powerful and cuts someone, but they want to strengthen it? ! 】

[Niu Niu is the real boss!The sniper canceled the reading, tsk tsk, then I, Snow God, can't take off? 】

[This means that in the future, snipers will rely on long-range sniping to cause higher damage?Are the players from other teams still alive? 】

【I'm more concerned about what happened to the assassin?Don't ask for enhancement, just don't cut it, the version has been cut down from generation to generation, if there is no Feather God, no one will play it long ago! 】

[Is the end of the world?Assassins want to strengthen? ! 】

[Both the professions of Snow God and Feather God have been strengthened, so how can others fight?Just declare next year's champion! 】

What the United States planned is undoubtedly good news for Fengyue. If the snipers can really cancel the reading, it can also reduce the burden on Song Xueyang's hands. As for the assassins, no matter how they are changed, they will not be worse than they are now.

Afterwards came the awarding session. The three teams stepped onto the podium one by one. When everyone in Maple Moon stepped onto the highest podium together, the flashlights almost turned into a sea of ​​light. The official chief planner of the game "City of Despair" personally Awards were presented to them, and everyone took over the heavy trophies together, and the national anthem of the People's Republic of China was also played at the venue.

The five-star red flag is rising. At this moment, e-sports fans all over China are overwhelmed with excitement. This is China's first world championship in six years, and it is the common dream of all game lovers!

Everyone in Maple Moon couldn’t help but burst into tears when they saw the national flag raised in the center. The hardships and dedication along the way have all been rewarded at this moment—the world champion!

American game officials announced on the spot that the World Finals of the S7 season will be held in Shanghai, China. Even though everyone has known this news for a long time, they still couldn't suppress the ecstasy in their hearts.

Afterwards, the members of the championship team had to give their acceptance speeches. Song Xueyang was the first to appear on stage on behalf of the team, "Hello everyone, I am Snow, Song Xueyang, the captain of the FM team. Our team was an idol team at the beginning of its establishment, just like you love It’s the same as the men’s and women’s teams. The team members are divided into two parts: interviews and computer-based tests. The team needs players with a good image to maintain popularity among fans...”

Brother Kun stared blankly at the audience below. Is this the acceptance speech he prepared?Shouldn't you say what you said? !

But Song Xueyang's story obviously attracted the interest of the audience, "It's been like this since I took over the Maple Moon team. When I joined the team, I said that I would make Maple Moon a team that relies on strength to gain popularity. Fortunately, me and My players all have a common dream. This is the fifth year I have taken over the team, and my players and I have finally realized our dreams this year. It is not worth mentioning how much we paid, because now I I can finally stand here and say that Maple Moon is the strongest team in the world, and as long as I am the captain of Maple Moon, this record will never be surpassed!"

The scene was silent for a second, Zhang Jiayan applauded first, and then thunderous applause echoed throughout the venue.

Some people say that he is too crazy, he dared to win consecutive victories after a fluke, and some people said that he was dazzled by the champion, but at this moment, everyone in Fengyue believed his words very much, because it was their plan. The captain of Fengyue is the pillar of Fengyue.

After Song Xueyang came to the stage was Shen Huai. After Song Xueyang's passionate oath, everyone thought that Shen Huai would also give a passionate speech. After all, he defeated Jin Chengjun twice, and he had no defeat in the ring PK, which is already well-deserved in the world First.

But he was silent for five seconds after picking up the microphone, and then said in fluent and idiomatic English, "I have participated in many awards ceremonies, but this is the first time I have given an acceptance speech on stage, and it is also the first time I have experienced Such joy."

"I would like to thank my father. It is his understanding and support that allowed me to become an e-sports player, let me work hard with my peers, and let me find my true self. Thank you. And me Teammates, I want to say that joining Fengyue and everyone as teammates is the most correct decision for me, the green hills will not change, and the friendship will last forever!"

Shen Nuo was watching the live broadcast in the lounge, and Assistant Jin handed him a tissue, "They told you to watch it live, and you insisted on coming back."

Shen Nuo wiped away tears, "How do I have time?!"

Assistant Jin silently drew a tissue for him, thinking that you were afraid of crying at the scene!

Zhou Ning took the stage after Shen Huai. When he picked up the microphone, he looked straight at Guan He in the VIP audience area. He first briefly expressed his happiness, and then continued.

"Today, I would like to thank one more person, Guan He, the captain of the Xiaowolf team. Without him, there would be no Zhou Ning standing here today."

"It was he who brought me into the e-sports circle and made me a professional player. It was he who recommended me to Fengyue and let me have my own home. I seized the best opportunity to shoot and beat the enemy with one move. He has galloped in the arena of "City of Despair" for six years. First. He said to me, your current strength is already comparable to world-class swordsman players, but I know that no matter how hard I try, no matter how many enemies I defeat, he will always be the God of War that I cannot catch up with. hero!"

There was a deafening applause at the scene, and those who blamed Guan He for the unsatisfactory performance of the Xiaolang team this year were also a little ashamed.

Guan He lost this game, but his contribution to China's e-sports cannot be replaced by anyone!What qualifications do they have to mock a veteran player?

The sense of guilt that had accumulated in the hearts of the members of the Xiaowolf team for a long time finally disappeared. They did not blame others for losing the game themselves, but the captain was condemned by netizens for years of glory. It was the most uncomfortable thing for them.

Tang Wenlang said with a smile, "Now you can finally announce your retirement. With Deputy Zhou's words, no one will dare to talk anymore."

Guan He nodded his head lightly, his gaze met Zhou Ning on the stage from a distance across the crowd, Zhou Ning's gaze was firm, those clear and transparent eyes were as dazzling as the person he was at the moment, and they were also in his heart The brightest light.
