In the ig player lounge at the backstage of the venue, the ig players were waiting for Cheng Lu to come back and were preparing to return to the base.
After the last game, it was basically announced in advance that IG would have a holiday after the Spring Split, but the real holiday is after this game, and there will be no games to play after that.
When Ning returned to the lounge, he had a smile on his face. Although it was a pity that he lost the game today, this last one can be regarded as playing his own thing. The five-person game had a team effect, at least no longer
Like the previous games, he was invaded and paralyzed in the jungle, and his teammates on the line were unable to provide support, leaving him alone and helpless.
"Brothers, we played well this time. Let's work hard in the summer split."
Sitting on the chair, Ning changed from his previous attitude of squirting in the lounge and started to comfort his teammates. He was not as irritable as before and mouthed the Bible.
After all, I just wanted to wake up my teammates, and the effect was indeed achieved. There was a slight problem with the overall state of the ig players before. Everyone was worried because the eighteen-game winning streak was interrupted, but now that the game is over, there is no need.
Continuing to show off to his teammates, Ning is prone to getting upset a lot of the time and has a bad temper. However, he is not a pressure monster. When he loses a game, he shuts himself up and doesn't speak, blaming his teammates for the blame.
During the game, if Ning gets hit on the head and sprays, after the game, Ning becomes careless again.
This kind of mentality can indeed adjust the team atmosphere sometimes. There are no pressure monsters and no conflicts within the ig team. Losing the game will not destroy the harmony within the team.
With Ning's active comfort, he who was the most irritable before is now like this, and it goes without saying to others.
"It's a pity not to go to MSI this time. Come on in the summer split, adjust your condition and we will still be the strongest."
"Eighteen consecutive wins have passed. Let’s start over in the summer split and continue to strive for the second championship!"
"But one thing to say, rng and rw are really strong this year, and this version is very suitable for them. We must work harder if we want to win the championship this year."
······
The players said something to each other. Even if today’s failure is over, the confidence of the championship team is still there. Even if the ig players lose in the spring split, it will not affect their confidence.
Coach Jin's Chinese is not very good, but when he saw the players chatting here, he could feel that he was not immersed in the shock of failure, which is a good thing.
With Mafa on the side to help him translate, he can also understand the mentality of the players at this time. Losing is not scary, but the fear is losing enthusiasm. As long as every player still wants to win the second championship, this spirit will be there.
good.
After losing the last game, Ning was furious in the lounge. Coach Jin didn't stop him because in his opinion, this was a sign of wanting to win. If everyone just shuts down after losing, that's not him.
What I want to see is that although Ning is usually difficult to discipline and likes to talk back, Coach Jin thinks this is a big problem and has caused a lot of conflicts, but as long as Ning is still motivated to win the championship, this goal will be consistent with
Coach Jin completely agrees, and to a certain extent he is not intolerant of other minor problems.
However, it is difficult to change Ning's irresponsible nature. Just now he was talking about today's failure, but in the blink of an eye he was thinking of other things.
He looked at Rookie and smiled: "Yi Jin, how are you going to spend your time after this holiday?"
It seems that Ning couldn't accept failure in the last game, but now she is a little happy and can take a vacation.
The rookie can't keep up with Ning's brain circuit, and he is not so heartless. Although he looked away after losing the game, it was still affected in his heart. He didn't want to mess up if he lost the game, although Ning might not
I don’t mean to mess it up, but there are some problems that still need to be solved.
"Let's talk about this... later."
Rookie was vague. He had more concerns now. He turned to look at Ah Shui on the side. The mentality of the ig players was okay now, but Rookie could feel that contrary to Ning's attitude, Ah Shui was under pressure.
It's very big. After all, the others have won the championship before. As a pure newcomer, it is difficult for Ah Shui to have the confidence to face this failure and the public opinion heroes on the Internet. After losing this game to rw, he entered
When I got into the lounge, I kept holding my cell phone and messing around with something.
Rookie patted Ah Shui on the shoulder and comforted him: "Jack, don't be too stressed. We still have a chance this year."
"Lao Song, I know, but I think I should give an explanation to ig fans."
Ah Shui was holding his cell phone and editing something unknown. Rookie didn't look at it carefully, but he could tell from Ah Shui's words that it was supposed to be an explanation to the fans.
He continued: "Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to these. There will definitely be some bad comments if you lose the game. We just need to play our own game."
Ah Shui nodded: "I know, I will practice more when I get back. Sister Cheng will be narrating today's game. She will definitely be able to find many of my problems. I will ask Sister Tu to do it later."
"Well, just don't feel pressured."
Seeing that Ah Shui's attitude was very serious, Rookie didn't say much as long as there was no problem with his mentality due to the comments on the Internet.
But when he heard Ah Shui talk about Cheng Lu's explanation, Ning suddenly remembered what he said before.
"Before the game, we promised Sister Cheng that we would win today. If something goes wrong, Sister Cheng probably won't trouble us."
Rookie laughed when he heard this and said: "You were thinking about taking a vacation just now, but now you think about it, not to mention Sister Cheng, the fans will definitely criticize you if they find out that you are acting badly."
"It doesn't matter if I'm scolded on the Internet, trolls just like to troll, and they will find reasons to troll you no matter what."
Ning smiled nonchalantly, pretending to be an expert and educating him: "Ah Shui, you just played in the game and haven't been hacked yet. You won't care if you see more people in the future."
Nowadays, Ning rarely gets hacked. After all, his grades are pretty good. When he came to IG, he won a championship. Basically, people on the Internet were bragging about it. When the whole network is hacked, it’s really unbelievable with his bad temper.
It must be able to withstand it.
But Ah Shui is different. When he is not on the field, there are always people bragging about him. It is as if he has invited a navy army. Now when he comes on the field, as long as it is a game that ig loses, Ah Shui is the only one designated to take the blame.
This kind of treatment is far different from Ning.
Of course, a big reason for this is the influence of public opinion within the team. IG's bottom lane is very difficult to play. There is a vertical comparison within the team. The top, middle and jungle are too awesome, and the aura is too strong, so the bottom lane looks very dim. The main focus is on top.
The ig bottom lane in the middle and jungle has been inherited from the west era until now. Whenever there is a problem, look for the bottom lane.
There is also a horizontal comparison of the AD positions of other teams. With rng's Uzi holding down the position, all domestic ADs will be stepped down by Huang Za.
However, the top lane position is also the same. Cheng Lu's appearance is so amazing. RNG's top laner and edg's top laner are also in the blame position.
Under this kind of treatment, other people rarely get sprayed. Ah Shui could only smile bitterly when hearing Ning's words, but he couldn't empathize with N's words.
"King Ning, how about we switch positions and play, you ad, and I'll play jungle."
Ning became excited when he heard this, and said seriously: "Okay, I can really play AD, and I'm very good at it. I'm originally a jungler who mainly switches to AD positions. If you can't do it, let me do it."
"Okay, you are awesome, I can't fight in the jungle, let me, ad, bear all this alone." Ah Shui quickly gave up.
It was just a joke, but the way Ah Shui looked at Ning seemed to really mean it. Now Ah Shui no longer dared to joke anymore. During the previous training period of ig, Ning entered the field to find Ah Shui and the two of them.
solo.
How should I put it? It was said to be a friendly match, but Ah Shui could tell that Ning's attitude was very serious. Ning really wanted to play ad, and he also cared about the ad position. It was not clear if there were any other emotions.
However, Ah Shui has a good relationship with Cheng Lu and Rookie in the team, and his relationship with Ning is also limited to teammates. He has stayed at ig much longer than Ning, but when it comes to playing time, Ning has played since he joined ig last year.
He is also his eldest brother, so sometimes he has to be careful when joking.
Here, Ah Shui briefly talked about containment, but Ning still didn't want to finish it. However, seeing that Ah Shui didn't want to talk and was fiddling with his phone to edit some information, he started chatting with Rookie again.
"Yi Jin, if Sister Cheng comes to trouble me later, you have to give me a few words."
Rookie smiled. He didn't expect that Ning would actually talk about this. It was very strange to say that Cheng Lu had a good temper and was very easy-going, but Ning, the most popular member of the ig team, was the most afraid of Cheng Lu. Rookie couldn't help but think about this.
not understand.
"If you have any questions, let's talk about it. If you lose the game, just train more and we can adjust our condition to prepare for the summer split. If you want to mess up, then I can't help you."
Ning defended: "I don't call it bad. I train when I need to train and rest when I need to rest."
"But Sister Cheng's training intensity is much greater than yours."
Rookie sighed. To be honest, everyone slacked off a bit after S7 won the championship. Only Cheng Lu trained harder than before. Rookie admired this very much, but it was a pity that she injured her hand.
"I hope you will train more and Sister Cheng will rest more in the future."
"Sister Cheng is so busy. She stays up all night until morning every day. I really can't stand it."
Ning is a little scared when talking about this. He is really afraid that Cheng Lu will call him to train together in the future. He prefers to keep in good health rather than cultivating immortals. As a talented player, Ning thinks it is enough. For his own
He is very confident about his talent. He can win the championship even after switching from AD to jungle. Although Ning in the ig team does not say it on weekdays, he believes that his talent is second only to Cheng Lu, or even not inferior. If he can be in the AD position
After winning the championship in both positions, and even winning an FMVP, Ning believes that he is enough to surpass Cheng Lu and become the number one player on IG.
"And I don't call it a mess, it's just a reasonable plan. Otherwise, if I get injured, ig won't even have a substitute."
Ning found an excuse and turned into a playful smile again. Rookie didn't say anything. Their slacking off must be part of the reason for the results they achieved in the Spring Split this time. The competition in the second year after winning the championship all depended on Cheng.
Lu dragged her away and sent it as soon as Cheng Lu disappeared.
He is like this, Rookie is embarrassed to say ning, but he has already put his plan for the summer split on the agenda.
"It's such a pity not to go to MSI this year. Sister Cheng led us to 18 consecutive victories. We failed her when she got injured at the last moment. Otherwise, Sister Cheng would have almost recovered from her hand injury and we would have been able to catch up this time.
msi’s.”
Ah Shui, who had been silent just now, sighed at this time: "I want to help Sister Cheng win the MSI championship, definitely next year."
Ning smiled and said: "Let's win the S8 championship first. The global finals are the key. Speaking of which, rng should participate in this year's MSI. I feel that their strength is indeed stronger than last year."
The rookie nodded: "I feel that RNG is very promising in MSI this year, and our overall strength in LPL is indeed getting stronger and stronger."
······
The ig players chatted about their thoughts on this game and waited for Cheng Lu to come back. The atmosphere was still good, not much different from ig's usual days.
After a while, when Cheng Lu came in, she didn't hear Ning's loud voice, but she heard Ning's laughter during the conversation. Cheng Lu was a little surprised that everyone adjusted their mood so quickly after losing the game.
As soon as he saw Cheng Lu coming back, Ning immediately stopped talking and the smile on his face became a little ashamed.
"I'm sorry, Sister Cheng, I still lost the game today."
Cheng Lu smiled: "It's okay, IG, I saw it when I was explaining it, and I sprayed you a lot."
"Really?"
Ning was stunned when he heard it. After reacting, he smiled and said, "Then I have to go back and see how you spray me."
This vindictive look made several people next to him laugh.
Today's game was lost, but after the last game, the players' condition was much better than when Cheng Lu came to visit the class. There was no feeling of isolation among all the players before, and there were even some in the lounge.
active.
I didn’t play well in the first few rounds, but I really tried my best in the fourth round and showed my style, so I have no regrets.
Cheng Lu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, they are also ig. They are all big-hearted players. If they lose the game, they will not be in danger. What's more, this season is far from over. There are still summer games and global finals that are the key.
.
But among the contestants, Ah Shui was the only one who was feeling depressed, looking at his phone with a grimace.
Cheng Lu saw Ah Shui's abnormality at a glance, leaned over and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Why do you look at your phone as if you're about to cry?"
"Sister Cheng, I can't bear the pressure anymore, everyone on the Internet is criticizing me for killing me!"
"show me."
This was the first time Cheng Lu had seen Ah Shui's aggrieved look. She couldn't help but want to laugh. In order to avoid being too hurtful by laughing, Cheng Lu took her phone and looked at what was being said online to calm herself down.
Mood.
Seeing this, Cheng Lu really couldn't laugh anymore.
On the screen of the mobile phone was Ah Shui's personal Weibo. Just after the game, Ah Shui wrote a very emotional essay to confess, and his true feelings were revealed between the lines.
There was a lot of content and Cheng Lu couldn't read it for a while, but the last sentence at the end was very eye-catching.
...Please give me another chance, I can still be saved.
Under this Weibo post, Cheng Lu could hardly find any encouraging voice. IG fans loved her a bit heavily, while the emperors were brainless.
After all, Ah Shui is just a newcomer, and it is difficult to withstand everyone's firepower.
Cheng Lu felt that she had to do something, so she took out her mobile phone and posted a Weibo message.
······
On the way back to the base, Ah Shui was sitting in the car still immersed in this defeat. The doubts on the Internet made him doubt his life. After playing the entire spring game, he still did not get recognition.
He knows that his 18-game winning streak and 2nd place finish is the reason, and he also knows that ig fans have high demands on him.
These doubts will not have a big impact on him. Just as he said, he will prove that he is still saved.
But it takes time to slow down. If there is a little recognition, it may speed up the time.
When Ah Shui tried to find a little recognition from the vast number of doubts, he turned on his phone again and planned to check Weibo to welcome the baptism of netizens.
He found that the comments had changed, and there were many voices of approval, which surprised him.
Ah Shui turned to look at Cheng Lu, who was sitting in the back seat and playing with her mobile phone. He swallowed back the words that were on his lips. He changed his mind. His words of thanks were a little weak. He would use his actions on the playing field.
prove yourself.
When Ah Shui turned around and looked at his phone again, his eyes became firm and he stared at a fan message on the screen.
After all, you are also the little brother recognized by Sister Cheng, so don’t be unreliable.
