A week passed quickly in the intensive special training.
It’s Saturday again, the quarter-finals of the regular summer season in the “End Century” sector, the Bluefin team will face Eagle Rider at home.
Bluefin is also an old club that won the Covenant Cup a few years ago. It has always been a "dead rival" relationship with Eagle Rider, and they usually play practice games often. However, during the regular season schedule recently, both sides seem to have mastered a certain "secret weapon", so they tacitly did not make an appointment in the near future.
Bluefin's coach had been teammates with He Jinxing for two years before, and during the preparation time, he ran to Eagle Rider's lounge carelessly.
"Yo, Lao He, let me come and see your baby."
"Go, go, the game is about to start, what are you watching?" He Jinxing was originally having a pre-match meeting for his team members. When he saw him coming in, he immediately got up and chased them away. Come let me see?"
Coach Blue Fin stayed at the door, pawing at the door frame and said, "Qi Chen has been playing as a starter for a year now, what's new?"
He Jinxing sneered: "Heh, he wasn't as enlightened last year as he was this year, and I don't know what you secretly fed him, but he even kept it hidden from our practice match!"
Coach Bluefin grinned: "You wronged me, didn't you? I clearly sent you an invitation, and it was your family Li Tingzhen who protected your Oga and ignored me!"
He Jinxing broke the man's fingers with a dark face, pushed him into the corridor, and closed the door behind his back.
In the lounge, Zhou Shu couldn't help laughing: "The relationship between Master Dong and our coach is still so close! I haven't practiced with Blue Fin recently, so I thought they were breaking up!"
Bluefin's coach is named Dong Ye, and the players call him Dong Ye directly.
Mu Fei glanced at him: "You also watched the video of the group match, Qi Chen has improved so fast, Master Dong must be trying to hide him."
Zhou Shu thought for a while, and agreed: "Yeah... the coach is right, I don't know what Dong Ye gave Qi Chen, last year he could only draw with me, why does he look so much stronger this year! Not bad Zhu Chaoyang and the others haven't made that much progress, otherwise I'd be scared..."
"Afraid?" Mu Fei said in vain, "If you have the time to be afraid, why don't you think about how to improve yourself?"
"..." Zhou Shu was speechless, "Captain, you are getting better at making chicken soup!"
The preparation time is over soon, and the game admission process officially begins.
Starting from the quarterfinals, 360-degree holographic projections, player names and ID introductions have been added to the entry of players, and players will enter the arena in turn following the introduction.
When Mu Feibai was introduced, there was a sudden burst of enthusiastic cheers and screams in the arena, and the fluorescent lights in the auditorium kept flickering, as if the galaxy suddenly fell, without the slightest sense of coldness in an away game.
"This is a star player, who attracts the most attention no matter where he goes." Zhou Shu clicked his tongue enviously, and said to Qiu Yu, "Last year, the Star Alliance Cup was played in the first star region of the West, and the captain cheered very enthusiastically when he came out. In a trance, I thought it was in the first star region of our east..."
Affected by the overwhelming cheers, Qiu Yu couldn't help but also laughed.
He reached out and patted Zhou Shu on the shoulder: "Come on, you will be able to do this one day."
Zhou Shu sighed and shook his head, and when he heard his name being introduced outside, he trotted out quickly.
He was greeted with flat but polite applause.
Zhou Shu: …
If he hadn't been Buddhist enough and had gotten used to it long ago, he might have lost his mentality hundreds of times just based on this difference in treatment.
Immediately afterwards, the dots of light in the field scattered and condensed, and Qiu Yu's holographic image suddenly appeared, and the electronically synthesized voice was impassioned: "EWG Eagle Cavalry Team—Qiu Yu, Cupid!"
In an instant, the cheers in the field reached another climax—
"Ah, God Qiu! He's actually ranked third!!"
"It's Cupid, the little angel! He's so cute!"
"God Qiu! Fuck Alpha!"
"He's so beautiful and cool, I want Oga like this too...why! Why am I a Beta! Woohoo!"
Zhou Shu: ...?
Just looking at the negative comments on the Internet, he thought that Qiu Yu's appearance would set off a bloodbath. How come the cheers and screams are not weaker than his own captain? !
Mu Feibai was also a little surprised, looking over Zhou Shu who was standing beside him, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Yu.
Recently, the rhythm of Qiu Yu on the Internet has not been interrupted. Even Coach He couldn't stand it anymore. He specifically pushed back Qiu Yu's live broadcast so as not to affect his game state. But judging from the on-site reaction, most of the audience clearly still like him very much.
Sure enough, as long as the competitive players are online, they never have to worry about being unpopular.
Those rhythms and smears, in the face of outstanding strength, will eventually become a funny performance of a clown.
"Oh oh oh I admire him! You smile so dotingly!"
"Qiu Yu is cute, turn around and look at your captain!"
"Look at each other! Look at each other now! My camera is so hungry!!"
It's a pity that the cheers were so loud that everyone's shouts were not drowned out. Qiu Yu could only hear the bang resounding through the stadium. So he kept his eyes fixed, expressionless, and waited for this boring part to pass quickly.
Afterwards, the audience cheered twice again when Bluefin captain Li Yuxin and star player Qi Chen came on stage. The appearance was officially over, and the players of the two teams went to the field to shake hands one by one.
"Mushen is still so popular." Li Yuxin greeted Mu Feibai with a smile.
"You're not bad either." Mu Feibai said in a familiar tone.
They shook hands and left, and then it was Zhou Shu's turn, Li Yuxin kept smiling: "Come on."
Zhou Shu had a hippie smile on his face: "Be merciful, Lao Li."
Li Yuxin had already let go of his hand and walked to Qiu Yu's side.
"I'm looking forward to the match with you." He shook hands with Qiu Yu with sincere eyes.
Qiu Yu raised his eyes to look at him, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up: "See you on the battlefield."
Immediately, he quickly let go, and greeted Qi Chen who was following behind Li Yuxin, and shook it very briefly, without showing any nervousness or provocation.
Admission is over. Bluefin players walked into the competition room, took off their jackets and prepared to enter the game cabin.
Li Yuxin suddenly patted Qi Chen on the shoulder: "Be careful with that Qiu Yu."
He has been playing in the professional circle for six years. From being an unknown little transparent to being the captain of a well-received team, his six years of experience in the game allows him to feel roughly whether the battle will go well the moment he shakes hands with his opponent.
Mu Feibai is naturally still the biggest threat, Zhou Shu's confidence is much stronger than in previous years, and that Qiu Yu...
It was clearly an extremely weak Oga, but his aura was not weak at all, which actually made him feel scared the moment he shook hands. He never doubted that if this was a pure 1V1 arena, he would have already lost.
After the players from both sides connected, soon, the game map came out randomly. It was an ordinary attack and defense map of forest ruins. In this map, there are no slanted tactics available, and the only thing left to determine the victory or defeat of the two sides is the purest competition of strength.
"Let's go with the regular lineup first." Mu Feibai deployed immediately, "Du Chen goes up, I'm in the middle, Zhou Shu goes down, Xiao Lin supports, and Qiu Yu plays wild."
Qiu Yu had no objection, and stepped forward to take out a compound bow from the arsenal.
Mu Feibai noticed immediately: "Did you use a bow in this round?"
"En." Qiu Yu nodded, "Qi Chen has a good ear, and he is very accurate in judging the direction and distance of the gunfire." This is what he concluded after watching the group match video in the pre-match meeting.
Mu Feibai nodded, and had no doubts about Qiu Yu's judgment.
Outside of the competition, the commentator also noticed Qiu Yu's different choices: "Oh, he chose a compound bow."
"As we all know, Qiu Yu ranks first in all shooting challenges in "The Last Century". Especially in bow and arrow shooting, the results are amazing." Another commentator laughed, "However, this is still him. It is the first time to use a bow and arrow as a weapon in a professional arena. Making this choice on a forest map is quite satisfactory."
"But don't forget that bow shooting puts much more pressure on the body than firearms. I don't think this is a wise decision. His body has not fully adapted to the game cabin. Using bows and arrows may really only We can play a round."
On the field, Qiu Yu had already wiped out his wild area in a very short period of time, and used the converted base energy to strengthen the compound bow and three arrows. Immediately afterwards, he took the strengthened bow and arrow and marched towards the wild area of the Bluefin team without hesitation.
"Here we come!" Even the commentator couldn't help laughing.
"The robbery jungler is here again."
"I don't know if Li Yuxin can stop Qiu Yu. It seems that since the group stage, except for the previous one due to physical reasons, Qiu Yu has never missed a match."
"But Bluefin played very steadily in this round."
"It's not so much stable, it's better to say that I played a little conservatively."
"Especially the refresh points of the special-type mutant beasts in the wild area. Li Yuxin has been paying attention to the movement around him. It's a bit overwhelming..."
Five minutes later, a special mutant beast was born, and Li Yuxin immediately dispatched support and sniper cover to kill it.
However...he never saw the person he thought he would meet.
"What is Qiu Yu doing?!"
"He didn't go grab Bluefin's special mutant beast this time! Instead, he went around to the other side of the wild area, harvested the ordinary mutant beast of the Bluefin team, and assisted Zhou Shu to win the bottom tower!"
"Although I failed to get the special crystal nucleus, this wave of base energy has been recorded and earned."
"Wait, no!"
"After Qiu Yu assisted in taking down the first tower in the bottom lane, he actually went deep alone, detoured to the rear of the Bluefin team, and intercepted Wang Wei who was transporting the special crystal core back to the base! He was so fast!"
"This is not a robbery jungler - this is a robbery!!"
It's just a pity that this robbery ended in failure.
Li Yuxin, who was aware of Qiu Yu's movements, quickly sent two people to meet Wang Yu, and finally sent the special crystal core back to the base safely, and almost killed Qiu Yu who was alone on the spot.
"Didn't catch it?" Mu Feibai asked on the team channel.
"Well, Li Yuxin is sharper than I thought, and returned to defense in a timely manner." Qiu Yu glanced at the game information on the PAD, "You have won Qichen."
The reason why he made a big fuss behind the enemy was not to **** the special crystal core, but to provide Mu Feibai with an opportunity to suppress Qi Chen's triumphant momentum since the start of the match.
As long as the opponent's "potential" is broken, the next two rounds of this game will be easy to play.
"Thanks to you." Mu Feibai laughed, "I just killed him back."
"it is good."
Qiu Yu returned to his home base with injuries all over his body and a large pile of stolen ordinary crystal nuclei, analyzed them into a large amount of base energy, healed his injuries, and went to solo kill the special-type mutant beasts he had refreshed without stopping.
The progress of the game progressed step by step, Qi Chen was firmly held by Mu Feibai, and Li Yuxin couldn't find any breakthrough from Qiu Yu's side. The balance of victory tilted towards the Eagle Cavalry team very smoothly, until the end there was no recovery any waves.
"Unfortunately, the dual-core lineup of the Bluefin team still failed to come back against the evenly matched Eagle Rider dual-core lineup."
"However, Li Yuxin's command is still remarkable. He solved the crisis that Qiu Yu brought to the wild area several times. In this game, he didn't let the opponent **** any special mutant beasts, so he can play such a stable defense. .If you can seize the opportunity to counterattack, Bluefin may not have a chance to win this game..."
The commentator was summarizing and analyzing the results of the first game when he suddenly noticed a commotion in the auditorium.
After a little observation, one of them noticed the clue: "Huh? Qiu Yu actually applied for the inter-match detention. It seems that he is going to play in the second consecutive game. Can his body take it?"
