Chapter 99

Name:FOG Author:


A good start to the best of five game was very important. Now that theyve won the first round, the expressions of everyone in Frees lounge backstage were a little more relaxed than before the game; especially Zhou Huo. He no longer stared fixedly at the live broadcast screen.

He could now be distracted enough to urge the artist to hurry up with those posters for the official announcement; one for if they win and one for if they lose. He was also urging the copywriter to come out with two editions of official announcement for later use.

I didnt expect them to play so fast. Zhou Huo asked doubtfully while contacting the copywriter, Didnt you plan before to hold back a bit for now? Whats the matter now? You decided not to hide anything anymore? Theyre already going all out in the first game?

Old Qiao wiped his sweat and shook his head, Its precisely because they didnt want to expose everything theyve got that they played so fast.

They didnt want to expose too much in the domestic competition but at the same time, they didnt want to lose. They also didnt want it to interfere with the upcoming World Championships. It was truly difficult to find a balance in this.

All of Frees tactical arrangements were jointly decided by the coaching staff and the data analysis team. It was not an exaggeration to say that making all the arrangements for the playoffs was like walking on a tightrope. As the head of the coaching staff, Old Qiao was under the most pressure.

He sweated layer after layer while watching the game just now. Old Qiao had folded tissues in his hand for later use. Planning something and executing something are two entirely different things. The longer we drag it out, the more we expose.

How many teams at home and abroad are staring at us now? How can we dare to be like Saint, just laying everything for every match? We have to look towards the future.

Zhou Huo took a bottle of mineral water to Old Qiao: Relax. They dont even seem like theyre under as big a pressure as you are.

Theres not such thing as big or small pressure. Were all under the same f*cking amount of pressure. Old Qiao drank a few sips of water and stared at the broadcast screen, It just depends on whos more big-hearted and can resist the pressure. All of our players are fine.

Lets look at NSN in the next game. Wawa was slightly targeted during the previous game. I dont know if hell be affected in the next game.

While they were conversing, the second game began.

Although Im a bit embarrassed to say it, Chen Huo rubbed his hands while waiting for the countdown, he said, Wawa and I also have CP fans and theres ever quite a lot of them. If we target him in this round too, I think the fans will come and scold me for being inhuman...Sigh. Why, oh why?

When its clearly you guys idea to target him. Theres a big chance Im the one whos going to be made to carry this pot.

Wake up, would you? Shi Luo and Wawas ship is obviously more popular. Puppy leisurely poured cold water all over him. And what does it matter? Isnt our team the the more you hate, the more you love type?

Look at our Yu Shen. From the fans perspective, Yu Sui was absolutely abusive to Luo Luo back then, right? Other CP fans should feel that this is cute too.

Shi Luo frowned. Dont be disgusting.

At the end of the countdown, they set all jokes aside.

During the last round, they had been targeted from the beginning. This time, NSN hid in their sides fog, refusing to take the lead in clearing up the poisonous fog. They were motionless, ready to spring an ambush on Free.

Puppy couldnt see anything in the back row and reminded them. Theres no movement on either side of the boundary. Theyre lying in wait for you, they...where are they lying in wait...

If they werent hiding in the center of the map, preparing for a wave of three-on-three, they would be hiding at the edge of the map to create a three-on-one ambush. NSN hid very well. Puppy couldnt see anything. They would have to rely purely on a guess.

He said uncertainly, Are they hiding in the middle or did they go to the side, waiting to grab the lone player? Will you stay in a group or separate?

Compared with staying fixed in the center of the map, it was much less riskier to go to the edge of the map to grab the lone player as their opening move. Naturally, the benefit to the team was also much smaller.

But handing over the middle of the map on a silver platter while you can only clean the edge of the map didnt sound like a very good deal.

Generally, a team would only use this as an opening move when one of their team members was really afraid of a head-on confrontation. Puppy was hesitating only because he was guessing that Wawa might have been affected by the previous game and was afraid to meet and bump into Yu Sui head on.

They are still huddled together in the middle. Trust me. Shi Luo whispered, Wawas not so easy to collapse now. Theyll still want to fight us head on.

There was no movement at the edge of the map. Puppy, their eyes at the back row, was very uncomfortable. He hissed, Are you sure...?

While trying to look for a way to compete with us in a direct confrontation, theyre also training Wawa. After the second game, Old Qiaos expression in the Free lounge finally relaxed a little. He laughed with the players, It could also be that they simply refuse to accept it.

They want to compare skills against our front row players. Youre both three-man front line teams so why cant they attack you, right?

They can attack us. Who says they cant? Chen Huo rubbed his shoulders and raised his eyebrows, but they wont be able to beat us, tsk...

Put that away. Old Qiao knocked on Chen Huos shoulder, You were the one who lost the most heads just now. You also made a lot of mistakes. After the game, youll have to review it well.

Shi Luo, who had to clean up Chen Huos mess twice in the last game, raised his eyes and said coldly. Nerve knife.

I know... Chen Huo said helplessly, Its your requirements that are too high, okay? Making us play this kind of fast-paced games. And two consecutive rounds of it too. Im a striker and I cant stay that focused for so long...

er, fine, Shi Luo did it but then how old is he? When I was young...

You were still a nerve knife. Yu Sui said lazily, Just admit that your innate ability to concentrate isnt top-notch. When you fight against each other, youre not as steady as Shi Luo. You can see it for yourself and its not shameful.

Its my fault. Its our fault. Weve been pressuring you too much. Old Qiao also knew how much his own tactics test the patience of the players. Bear with it and then bear with it some more...

youve endured for this long, lets not lapse here, okay? So ...Manager Zhou? What will be their rewards after the game, so as to appease the hearts of the people?

Theres no need to mention your bonus. Zhou Huo was finally able to interrupt and said eagerly, At the end of this season, all the equipment in the training room will be updated. Each setup would start at a minimum of 100,000 yuan. You can configure it yourself.

You can dictate each component model yourself. Well get you any configuration that youd like.

Theres more. Zhou Huo said hurriedly, After todays game, it was originally going to be a three-day holiday. I considered that it would be too strenuous if we were to train after coming back from Hangzhou so I added another day of holiday. Its an exception for after this game. Four days off.

Old Qiao instinctively wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, his heart went soft. He nodded and reluctantly said, Its fine... its fine. After so many months, you were only given that rainy half-day holiday.

Whats one more day?

The referee outside was urging them to get on stage and they players got up. Zhou Huo, worried that he had not given enough rewards, nervously tried to convince them one by one. Theres also a nice surprise!

Chen Huo, you can buy all the skins you want for your little wife next season and the team will reimburse you. Yes...Puppy, Ill negotiate a better live broadcast contract for you next season.

If we dont upgrade your live broadcast contract after youve been broadcasting everyday, I just couldnt bear it... Okay, everyone, jiayou!

Shi Luo stopped, turned his head and frowned, Where is my surprise? Wheres Yu Suis?

Zhou Huo was startled and dumbfounded. Does Yu Sui even need me to give him a surprise? He owns the entire team. As for you...

your hobbies are not healthy. I cant reimburse you for smoking and drinking next season, okay? It just doesnt sound right, does it?

The referee accompanying Free was doing his absolute best to hold back a laugh and urged in a low voice: The players can go up now.

Shi Luo rubbed his neck, dissatisfied. He continued to walk forward. Yu Sui walked behind Shi Luo when he entered the glass room. He whispered quickly into Shi Luos ear: Your surprise...when the team goes on vacation to Hangzhou tomorrow, we wont be going.

Shi Luo was taken aback. He suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Sui.

Yu Sui had already sat in his seat. He put on the headphones as usual, tried the teams voice chat and signaled OK to the referee. He accepted the confirmation sheet he needed to sign from the referee.

Shi Luo sat in his seat. He gulped and he realizing belatedly.

Yu Sui arranging that the Hangzhou trip for the team was not to legitimately get them out of the house. It was merely a to send away the other members of the team.

Once everyone was gone, only Yu Sui and he himself would be left in the base for three days.
