Although the teams participating in the Star Alliance Cup of "The Last Century" are all from the champions and runners-up of the summer regular season in each star area, the star areas are big and small, and the strength of e-sports is naturally strong or weak. The first star region in the east, where the Eagle Cavalry team is located, is one of the three strong e-sports regions.
In addition, Mu Feibai had good luck in the lottery. In Eagle Rider's group, only EL from the eighth sector in the west is still worth watching. Therefore, there is basically no suspense for Eagle Rider to qualify for the Star Alliance Cup group stage.
However, after the Eagle Cavalry team qualified for the group stage with a complete victory, the Covenant Cup Organizing Committee sent them bad news—
"What? Players are not allowed to stay in the game cabin between rounds?"
When Mu Feibai heard the news, his expression sank: "Why? When will the regulations be added?"
"This year's Star Alliance Cup is newly added." He Jinxing said helplessly, "It is said that before the start of the game, the third star district in the east has already initiated a proposal, but it has not been agreed before. After the KKL finalists were eliminated, the third star district in the east The crowd was so excited that they lodged a protest with the "End Century" event headquarters."
After a pause, he continued: "The headquarters probably considered that staying in the game cabin between games is only a very small number of needs, so they compromised. The notice has just been issued, and this year's Star Alliance Cup will be implemented."
"They're aiming at Qiu Yu." Mu Feibai gritted his teeth, "There are so many things to do!"
If players are prohibited from staying in the game cabin during the game, it means that Qiu Yu must receive pulse massage therapy after each game before he can play again. Even with the inter-game breaks before and after the game and the ten-minute timeout during the game, the game must be played for half an hour to give Qiu Yu enough time.
It's easy to talk about things like delaying the pace when you meet a weak team, but if you meet a strong team, you really don't want to delay, so you must delay enough.
Those two star regions obviously had this idea—although Qiu Yu is powerful, his weakness is also obvious.
Qiu Yu himself is not worried at all: "That's it, I will play in the first and third games of BO3, and I will play 135 in BO5. Try to delay the rhythm in the middle, it is enough."
Mu Feibai was still worried: "Even if you have enough treatment time, it will still be difficult for you to recover to your best condition after treatment. The Star Alliance Cup is so intense, can you really hold it?"
Hearing this, Qiu Yu smiled and blinked at Mu Feibai, and then looked at He Jinxing: "It's not that I haven't made any progress at all. After exercising for so long, the pressure on me from the game cabin is actually not as great as before. You can basically recover in an hour."
As for the weak appearance he showed in the previous game, it was actually a faux pas.
It's just that he pretended so well that even his own teammates were deceived.
Mu Feibai frowned and looked at him: "Are you sure?"
Qiu Yu laughed: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
…
Eagle Cavalry's opponent in the Star League Cup is TNS from the eighth division in the west.
This is a new team that just started to emerge last year. There is no Alpha in the team, but the six members of the team have been playing games together since the youth training camp, and they cooperate very well with each other. The so-called substitute strength It's not bad either. Compared with a substitute, he is actually more like a "free man" reserved for lineup adjustments, who can replace any player in the team at any time.
The existence of such a "free man" makes TNS's play style very changeable, making it difficult for opponents to target.
Eagle Rider has naturally studied TNS, and has also experimented with targeted play in training and Rank.
"However, one force will drop ten times." After He Jinxing arranged the general tactics, he said with a smile, "Their comprehensive strength is not as good as ours. As long as we don't underestimate the enemy and don't make mistakes, we will definitely win."
After all, when Qiu Yu and Mu Feibai were present at the same time, Yingqi had never lost.
Sure enough, in the first game, the Eagle Cavalry team played steadily and won the victory without any waves.
Qiu Yu came out of the game cabin supported by Doctor Qi, and left the game room amidst the sharp cheers of the audience, to go for treatment.
Qi Zhefeng was wearing pulse gloves, pressing on Qiu Yu's shoulder blades.
"It's much better than before." There was still no emotion in his tone, "You can recover in half an hour of treatment, and it won't delay the game."
Qiu Yu closed his eyes slightly: "I still hope to continue the competition."
Qi Zhefeng said: "With Oga's physique, it is very difficult."
Qiu Yu made a breathy sound from his nasal cavity, and he couldn't tell if it was self-deprecating or disdainful.
Qi Zhefeng: "Genes, hormones, biological structure, these innate conditions determine that it is impossible for Oga to develop a physique like Alpha, and the upper limit is only at the average level of Beta. Even if you have a thread body resection, it is impossible to break through physiologically obstacles."
"I know." Qiu Yu said calmly, "I didn't expect to be able to beat Alpha in reality, as long as I can be like ordinary Beta and don't need to play between BO3 and BO5."
Hearing this, Qi Zhefeng was silent for a long time, and said: "I thought that next year, after you get enough funds and approval for surgery, you won't stay in the team anymore."
Qiu Yu was stunned suddenly.
That's right, wasn't his original plan to only play in Eagle Rider for a year and then leave after surgery?
Since when did his thoughts start to revolve around the game?
"Well, yes." Qiu Yu calmed down and seemed to be talking to himself, "I won't play games next year."
At that time, without the influence and constraints brought by Oga's linear body, the Star Alliance was so big that there were too many places he could go.
He can try some things that he has never experienced in the wasteland of the last days. He can travel, see beautiful scenery and eat delicious food, become an apprentice, learn a few new and interesting technologies for him, he can even find a woman, or Men, let's talk about a love that has been quiet for a long time without gunpowder.
At that point, he no longer had to trap himself in a hail of bullets.
Even if these bullets are virtual.
After the treatment, Qiu Yu put on the pulse suit and opened the door of the infirmary.
Warm and prolonged cheers came from the direction of the stadium in the distance, accompanied by sharp whistles and applause, as well as rhythmic shouts: "EWG! EWG!"
Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, guessed something, and strode towards the team preparation room.
As soon as he opened the door of the preparation room, he saw his teammates coming down from the stage with extremely excited smiles on their faces. Mu Fei's eyes seemed to be burning with sparks. He took the lead and walked straight to Qiu Yu, stretching out his hand A brief but firm hug from him.
"We won!" Mu Feibai said with a smile, "Du Chen played really well in this game! And Lu Cun too! You have to watch the video of this game, they played a flying game together Immortal! Don't talk about TNS, even I didn't think of it, so I was shocked!"
Listening to the unconcealable joy in Mu Feibai's tone, Qiu Yu looked away and landed on Lu Cun.
Lu Cun's face was flushed, his eyes sparkled, and he looked at Qiu Yu for a moment, with the corners of his mouth raised high: "Master! We won! I used the tactical moves you taught me last time, and I did it! I didn't embarrass you!"
Zhou Shu put his arms around Du Chen's shoulders, and said for the awkward kid who was too embarrassed to speak: "Xiao Du also learned the routines you used before. He was abused by you so many times during training, and he finally made some progress."
Du Chen pursed his lips for a moment, and said, "It's right to make progress. We can't just rely on Brother Qiu to win the game."
Mu Feibai patted Qiu Yu with a smile: "Are you happy that you can leave work early today?"
Qiu Yu finally came back to his senses at this time, and said with a smile, "Of course I'm happy."
Mu Feibai: "Okay! I'll treat everyone to fried chicken tonight!"
Seeing that the children were almost happy, He Jinxing interjected: "Du and Xiaolu performed very well in the game just now, but they were able to win because TNS made a major mistake. Don't just win Once, you start to be proud and underestimate the enemy."
The team members held back their smiles, but they were still brimming with joy, nodding happily.
Qiu Yu thought to himself: This is also good.
The team members are improving, Mu Feibai has learned the tactics and style of play brought by him, Du Chen has learned a lot of experience from him, and Lu Cun is also under his guidance, gradually keeping up with the rhythm of the team, and will not keep lagging behind .
After this year's competition is over, these children will become more mature, and the Eagle Cavalry team will once again condense into a truly strong army.
And he, too, can retire.
…
Everyone gathered in Mu Feibai's room and finished eating fried chicken for supper. Seeing the time slip past one o'clock in the morning, they packed up and went back to each room.
When Qiu Yu got up and was about to leave, he was stopped by Mu Feibai.
"Are you unhappy today?" Mu Feibai carefully observed Qiu Yu's face, but couldn't see any clues.
But he just felt for no reason that the people in front of him were not as happy as he showed.
"No." Qiu Yu was surprised, "You guys won the game, how could I be unhappy?"
He himself didn't feel that he was unhappy, and he had no reason to be unhappy.
Mu Feibai grasped the point extremely precisely: "You?"
Qiu Yu was taken aback.
Mu Fei frowned: "It's 'us', we won."
As he said that, he pulled out a smile: "What you say, it seems that you don't think of yourself as a eagle rider."
He pretended to be relaxed, but it was obvious that there was a trace of anxiety in his tone.
Qiu Yu laughed.
He lowered his eyes for a moment, and said, "Of course I'm an Eagle Rider. I was the one who said something wrong just now. What I mean is that you won the second game today without me playing. Of course I'm happy." .”
Mu Feibai: "Really? I don't believe it."
Qiu Yu: ...
Now Qiu Yu really couldn't laugh or cry, and the strange gloom in his heart disappeared.
"I'm really not unhappy, believe it or not." He looked up at Mu Feibai, "Where do you get the feeling that I'm unhappy?"
Mu Feibai also couldn't explain clearly: "I don't know, it's just a feeling. It's that...feeling. Cough, it can only be expressed in words, you understand?"
Qiu Yu glanced at him: "I don't understand."
Mu Feibai looked at the expression on Qiu Yu's face, felt that he seemed to be in a better mood than before, and said with a smile: "Maybe I was wrong."
At the end, he teased again: "I thought our God Qiu suddenly discovered that we could win without him playing, so we felt a sense of crisis."
Qiu Yu snorted lightly: "Paid vacation is something I wish for."
Mu Feibai leaned down slightly, and leaned in front of Qiu Yu: "It's a pity, we are not ready, and I have to work hard for my brother to pull us for a few more years before I can provide for my elder brother."
Qiu Yu stretched out his hand to cover Mu Feibai's face, and pushed him away with a smile: "Get out..."
