I'm in love with my opponent [e-sports]

CAL is not the only one that is working hard to improve. During the transfer period after the year, many teams also took the opportunity to make changes. The Hurricanes recruited a new veteran, and the Eagles promoted a player from the Second Army. They are all looking for a better future. Change in direction, looking at the world, this year can be described as a gathering of powerful players.

Extraordinary talent may not be available to everyone, but hard work is necessary. Every team member who wants to win the championship is doing his best. Even game geniuses like Yan Xu and Cheng Lin dare not relax in the slightest.From the competitions and collisions in various competitions this year, it is not difficult for them to detect the changes in their opponents. After the domestic competition in April and the North American competition in May, there will be new gains after each game.

Cheng Lin looked at the calendar and felt a little unbelievable. Soon it will be one year since he joined the team, which means that the Global Invitational Tournament is coming again.

Yan Xu: "What are you thinking, you're so preoccupied."

"Time flies," Cheng Lin swiped across the phone screen, "It's time for the global competition again."

"Yeah," Yan Xu's eyes softened, "In other words, the anniversary of our meeting is approaching."

Yan Xu sat down opposite Cheng Rin: "I originally wanted to have a grand celebration, but the training is really too tight, so we can only have a small celebration that night."

Hearing Yan Xu's tone, Cheng Lin knew that he still had something to say. How much he understands now: "According to what you said, there will be celebrations later?"

"How about a gift for the anniversary, the global championship?"

Cheng Rin couldn't help laughing: "The winner of the Asian Invitational Tournament on the birthday, and the global champion on the anniversary?"

"Not a bad idea, right?" Yan Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the void, making a fist, "Let the audience all over the world cheer for our meeting and our CAL victory, and send the warmest applause, don't you think great?"

Cheng Rin pursed his lips, but finally couldn't help it, and laughed louder. After laughing enough, he exhaled helplessly: "Ah, after being with you for a long time, I feel that I have become shameless, because I am so selfish. If I'm not afraid of being ashamed, I actually think—" Cheng Lin raised the corner of his mouth, "It's really good."

"Then my influence is really powerful." Yan Xu leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth, "Come on, future global champion."

Cheng Rin: "Come on."

Of course, those who need to cheer together are the teammates who are blinded by the two of them every day. In fact, they are blind, so they get used to it. How do you say that, e-sports does not need eyesight.

More than a month later, in Berlin, Germany, the finale of the PUBG Global Finals, the second day of the quad match——

"Hello everyone, today we will bring you a live commentary at the game site." It can be seen on the domestic live broadcast platform that commentators A and B are already in place, but at this moment the players have not yet appeared on the stage, so the two simply review Take a look at yesterday's game.

"Oh, yesterday's game was really fierce. The top five scores were all very tight. The top three are CAL, SG, and RO. The three teams won each of the four games yesterday. The fourth and fifth teams also performed very well, especially the North American seeded team," commentator A said, "Although they haven't had chickens yet, their rankings in the game have always been very high and very stable. If they take the opportunity to eat Chicken, it is not impossible to rush to the first place in one fell swoop."

Commentator B nodded: "Yes, not only the top five, but looking back, the chances of a comeback in the top ten are very high. The intensity of this year's competition can be the most intense in recent years. The teams currently ranked at the top cannot relax at all. It's pretty big too."

"Yes, everyone is very good," commentator A said happily, "but now there are two of our teams in the first three miles, ah, it's a very happy thing, everyone should work hard!"

"Oh, the contestants are here!"

There will be a period of rest for the players after they play, and during this time the official camera will scan the teams one by one, and the commentators will introduce them to everyone as the camera moves. When it came to CAL, the commentators were surprised: "Now it's CAL...Huh? Ah! We can see that the current players on the field are Suns, First, Double and Wuzi! No Lin, yes no Lin! Wuzi replaced Lin as the starter, the second day of the fourth row , what happened?!"

Not only the narrator was surprised, but also the barrage exploded.Cheng Rin's performance yesterday was absolutely fine, and he wouldn't be replaced due to technical reasons, so what is the reason for replacing him at the critical juncture of the final?Many people asked, what happened to Linshen?But for the fans, whether it was a team problem or an accident, no matter what the reason was, they couldn't accept it, and they were frightened.Especially the second one is even more disturbing, and this time, it's really the second reason.

Let us push the time forward by 15 minutes, in the lounge of the competition venue CAL——

Yan Xu said, "How is it?"

Team doctor: "I have used the spray that is allowed to be used, but the effect cannot be so fast. If you want to ask how it is... Lin Shen, try to move your wrist and tell me how you really feel."

Cheng Lin's hand was resting on the soft towel, and he moved a little. A piercing pain made him stop immediately. This is the harm-avoiding function of body conditioned reflex. Cheng Lin looked at his wrist and clenched it tightly. teeth.

He sprained his wrist.

The team doctor didn't miss any of his reactions, and said to Yan Xu: "It seems that he doesn't need to answer, as you can see, that's it."

Cheng Rin lowered his head, unable to find any words to refute.If it's just pain, he can still bear it, but after the sprain, his wrist is not completely under the control of his will, and he will tremble when forced to move, and the muscles will stop by themselves. This state is completely impossible to compete.

"It might be better later on. I can't say for sure whether he will be able to play later today, but I can guarantee," the team doctor made a diagnosis, "at least he will definitely not be able to play in the first game."

As a coach, Yan Feng cared further: "Will there be any sequelae?"

"That's not true. Although it may not be good for me to say that, it's not an injury that needs to be made a fuss about. It's just that today...it's really very unfortunate for you."

Yan Xu clenched his fist several times, and then forcibly released it. His voice sounded very calm: "Got it, Wuzi, take your peripheral bag and play instead of Lin. If Lin can't play today, you Play the whole game."

The rest of the teammates looked at Cheng Lin worriedly. Chi Shuang searched awkwardly for words to comfort him, but he couldn't find any new words after searching. Yan Xu said: "The contestants can go out and prepare. The rest of the staff, I'm sorry , can you give us some space alone, I have something to say to Cheng Lin."

Everyone showed a clear look, and thoughtfully closed the door.A series of arrangements Cheng Rin didn't say a word, just listened silently, he lowered his head, the hand clasped on the arm was pinched into the flesh hard, the back of the hand burst into blue veins, when he wanted to push harder, two Covering his hand, he opened his fingertips a little bit.

"Won't it affect the recovery of your wrist even more if you pinch your blood so badly?"

Yan Xu pulled Cheng Rin's hand away, held the good one, stretched out one hand, and raised Cheng Rin's face: "Crying?"

Cheng Rin raised his face: "No."

Tears welled up in the corners of Cheng Lin's eyes, and he bit his lip. He didn't want to look up at Yan Xu's face at the moment, but, but——

"Okay, I get it, I didn't cry." Yan Xu said.

When he said this, Cheng Rin felt that his tears were even more uncontrollable.

Not reconciled, so painful, but today, just now, at the critical juncture of their sprint to the final, he had no choice but to end, and could only sit here and watch, waiting for the wrist that would not be able to move today, compared to the body, An even bigger cry in his heart flooded him, and the pain kept hitting his eyes, and Cheng Rin really couldn't bear it anymore.

Before his tears really burst into tears, Cheng Lin felt that the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and Yan Xu pressed his head into his arms with one hand.

A warm and reliable embrace, even the tip of the nose is a familiar smell.

Cheng Lin opened his eyes slightly.

"It's not your fault. It will definitely be fine when we start. We will work harder before you play. How can I say that for CAL and for you, I will not lose."

Yan Xu rubbed Cheng Rin's hair: "Can you give me support before going on stage?"

Cheng Rin leaned against Yan Xu's arms, tears were melted in his heart by this warmth, although he was still lingering with remorse and unwillingness, with mixed feelings, his wrist and heart were also so uncomfortable, but——

Cheng Lin raised his movable hand and grabbed the clothes on Yan Xu's chest. He took two deep breaths, raised his voice that had become hoarse due to emotion, and uttered words of solidarity clearly.

"Come on for the game, Team Yan."

It wasn't until the door was closed that Cheng Rin's tears finally fell. He cried silently. The team doctor opened the door and came in. Seeing the situation, he didn't know what to say, and silently handed over a pack of tissues.

Cheng Rin took the tissue: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The team doctor said, "I will apply the medicine again later, and I will also apply it. It's not possible that I won't play at all. Don't be sad."

After all, the team doctor is not a player, so he can't empathize with him. Cheng Rin shook his head slightly, and wiped away his tears. A picture appeared on the screen in the waiting room, and the players were about to take their seats.

Because of Cheng Rin's end, the atmosphere in the team was different. Among other things, Chi Shuang was nervous because of this change: "This, this is how far we have to maintain the score before Lin Shen enters the field—"

"Promise. Don't have that kind of thinking. Our goal will not change. As long as we come to the field, we have only one goal, and that is the championship."

Yan Xu is really terribly calm at the moment, but apart from Cheng Rin, he should be the most uncomfortable one.Chi Shuang opened his mouth and was speechless.

"Don't take chances. If Linshen can't play today, is it enough to be second and third? No, we want to take the first place. It is good to open the score, but it is how many points we can lead No.2." Yan Xu said, "If we can secure the first place and Cheng Rin can play in the future, won't it be easier for him to fight?"

Chi Shuang blinked: "Oh, that's right! Team Yan, what you said makes sense!"

Yan Xu snorted: "If you know it, cheer up. If you make some low-level mistakes because of unnecessary nervousness, you will understand when you go back."

These words are more effective than any panacea. Everyone is refreshed in an instant, and even Wu Zi, who was actually struggling just now, is refreshed immediately, and he has no time to think about things.

Yan Xu nodded in satisfaction. He looked at yesterday's final score on the big screen, his eyes darkened.

I said this to boost morale, but it will not be a few comforting words that will change the outcome of the game.Wu Zi's marksmanship is not as good as Cheng Rin's, but he is very stable, and his level is average among professional players. Even if CAL is a substitute, he will not support idlers.Moderately stable, can also be a mainstay, but the style of play will inevitably change.

Fortunately, they have practiced in advance in any situation, and Wu Zi is everyone's substitute, so they have practiced with various team compositions, at least there is no need to panic.

But to win, to be honest, it's hard.

But no matter how difficult it is, Cheng Rin is still watching on the other side of the screen.

Cheng Rin was watching.

At the end of the fifth game, CAL ranked third in the round and dropped to third in total points;

At the end of the sixth game, CAL ranked fourth in the game, and the total points fell to fifth;

During the break, Yan Xu did not return to the lounge to check the situation.Cheng Rin knew that he understood that if he was able to play, he would definitely contact them. At this time, there was really no need to come back to the waiting room to check his situation.Cheng Rin doesn't know how Yan Xu is, but if he changes positions, it will definitely affect his mood.

"Don't be in a hurry." The team doctor held down his hand that was just about to move. "Anxiety will only lead to bad things. Let go of your hand and make a fist. Doesn't it hurt?"

"Feel sorry."

Cheng Lin let go of his hand, and he moved slightly. The pain was painful, but it was not as painful as before. It was not a psychological illusion, but there was still a slight trembling, which meant it was not enough.

In the seventh game, which is the second-to-last game of the four-row match, CAL's luck broke out, and two consecutive airdrops smashed his face. Finally, he won a victory, successfully won the chicken, and jumped to the second place in the total points!

God knows Cheng Rin's heart is about to jump out!

But the good news is that his wrist finally relieved the pain, no trembling, and he can play!

The team doctor was more cautious, and murmured: "It is possible to fight, but there is no guarantee how long it will last, and if you don't pay attention, the swelling may be even worse tomorrow, and you will not be able to move at all."

Cheng Lin: "As long as there are no sequelae, it doesn't matter if you just can't move for a day."

"Even if it hurts so much?"

"It can be tolerated." Cheng Rin got up, his eyes were firm, "What can't be tolerated is other things...the victory is ours."

If you lose, the pain can be a hundred times more uncomfortable.

In the last round of the fourth round of the global competition, CAL replaced Cheng Lin.

Yan Xu's eyes fell on Cheng Lin's wrist, and then he forced himself to look away, and said to Cheng Lin, "Here?"

Cheng Rin: "Here we come."

"Then let's go, everyone, it's the last match, success or failure depends on one move, the championship is only one step away from us, don't relax until the last moment!"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

The final, start!

The effect of the medicine and the treatment of the team doctor did make Cheng Lin's wrist pain subside temporarily, but 15 minutes after hitting the ground, there was a sudden pain in the wrist, and the heart-wrenching pain spread again. Cheng Lin frowned, and it was not affected at all. Holding the mouse to move, if it weren't for his wrist still swollen, it would make people suspect that he was fine at all.

It doesn't matter the pain, Cheng Lin stared at the screen with high concentration, as if it wasn't really his hands that hurt: as long as he doesn't tremble, he can bear the pain.

"A wave of guns, beautiful!" commentator A said, "This wave of team battles CAL won a big victory! Rin God took two heads! His marksmanship is really accurate and terrifying. If he plays today, the head king may not be sure. Who will get it!"

Narrator B: "But the shots for the team members also let us see that Linshen's wrists are very red and swollen. I'm not a fan of CAL, but how should I say, I really can't help but want to cheer them on in this situation. !"

No. At 207 minutes, there were three people left in CAL. Cheng Rin's wrist was getting more and more painful, but his operation was not affected at all. With his excellent memory to analyze the kill information, they knew that there were still players left in the team left on the field. SG.

SG is currently ranked first, and it is a high wall in front of them.

The walls that stand in the way of champions, then smash them. Whether it is SG or Iron Wolf, they are all opponents.

"Decisive battle, 2 against 2 against 1! Ah well, the North American seeds are out, 2 against 1! 2 against 1! In the final round, CAL vs. SG! Two people from CAL, one from SG!"

Suns and Lin from CAL, Tielang from SG

Cheng Lin's hands trembled, but he stabilized quickly, and Yan Xu's voice came from the earphone: "Lin."

He didn't give any instructions, but just called his ID, Cheng Lin's own voice trembled a little: "Yes."

Needless to say, he understands, they all understand.

It's only the last step, the last step...at the last moment, you can't relax.

At this time, Yan Xu threw two mines in two extremely tricky directions, and the audience from the perspective of God couldn't help exclaiming: For no other reason, one of the mines forced Iron Wolf into his position.

This field, the last kill of this Global Invitational Tournament appeared!

[CAL-Lin used M416 to knock down SG-Tielang]

--competition is over!

"Global Champion! World Champion! Let's congratulate CAL!!! Ahhh! Champion!!!"

The narrator roared in a hoarse voice, because of Cheng Lin's wrist, everyone didn't dare to hug him, and the action of jumping up and retreating hurriedly made the scene very funny for a while, and in the end it was a mess, crying and laughing. Roaring, Cheng Lin trembled his hands, at least at this moment, he didn't have to bear his tears anymore.

"Thank you." Yan Xu supported his wrist, Cheng Rin only felt that his hands were shaking more violently, and just felt strange, but suddenly realized that it was not his problem, but because Yan Xu's hands were shaking too.

Cheng Lin burst into tears and laughed: "Crying?"

Yan Xu also laughed out loud: "Yes, I cried."

Nothing bad to admit, tears of joy, they are champions!

And at the Asian Invitational, the sentence they knew but failed to say, this time they can finally say it for sure——

"CAL! We are legends ourselves!"
