Tik, this is a legendary figure in the "Warcraft" circle. He is not a professional player and has not participated in formal training, but he maintains the highest undefeated record in the battle network. All the once famous beast kings have been defeated by him. He even became the only person in the world who was not a professional player and was invited by the competition to participate in the World Elite Cup.
Once upon a time, countless Chinese people thought that he would become a generational e-sports king like Xiao Zifeng. But what is regrettable is that he only participated in one Elite Cup qualifying match and suddenly disappeared before he really showed his face in front of the media. .
Some people say that he is just a character fabricated by the competition to attract the attention of domestic players. Some people say that he is simply an internal designer of the competition, otherwise he would not have such a high undefeated record. Others say that he It is completely a BUG in DOTA, otherwise it would not be so outrageous... No matter how players from all over the world speculate and doubt, anyway, he has completely disappeared since the Elite Cup.
"Master Lu, why did you withdraw from the competition in the first place?" Zhang Zhou asked coquettishly.
"There's no reason. I just quit when I wanted to." Gao Lin shrugged. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell the reason for quitting, but that he really couldn't. At first, he ran to the United States to participate in the Elite Cup with great joy, but he couldn't. Just one day before going abroad to compete, he saw an almost naked photo of him and Zhang Ruoran lying on the bed on his best brother Chen Jing's cell phone... He ran to question Zhang Ruoran, but Zhang Ruoran did not deny it. She even broke up with him.
His best brother was hooking up with the woman he loved most. At that time, he completely collapsed. How could he have any intention to compete? After just one qualifying match, he immediately announced his withdrawal. .
"Don't you regret quitting the competition like that? You know, you are the only non-professional player in the world who has been invited to participate by the competition." Shi Xin said with a sad smile.
"What regrets do you have? You haven't come here yet." Gao Lin forced a smile, thinking of Zhang Ruoran, and couldn't help feeling a little sad. If Zhang Ruoran was willing to tell him the truth, then none of this would have happened.
In fact, Gao Lin knew that Zhang Ruoran had always had an inferiority complex in front of him. Although she was known as a talented girl in school and was admired by many boys, in front of him, she had an inferiority complex and a deep love for her. And a deep sense of inferiority.
Perhaps it was this deep love and deep inferiority that made her not want to tell him the truth. She was afraid that he would abandon her after knowing the truth. At the same time, she also wanted to preserve the relationship between them through this extreme method. Beautiful, leave quietly.
"Why didn't I listen to you before?" Xiao Zifeng asked.
"What's there to say?" Gao Lin smiled bitterly.
"You really hide it very well." Jing Yisen punched him from behind.
"Don't you all know that he is TiK?" the pretty reporter asked in surprise.
"Who could know if he hides it like this?" Zhang Zhou said coquettishly.
"I didn't expect you, Gao Lin, to be Tik." Looking at Gao Lin, Yang Zhenxing stroked his glasses and said.
"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, it's an interview now." Seeing Gao Lin's expression, Lu Jiao said.
"After you quit DOTA, did you start playing "League of Legends"?" the pretty reporter asked.
"Yes." Gao Lin nodded and said, "Excuse me for a moment, I'll wash my hands."
The pretty reporter wanted to ask something else, but Gao Lin walked past her directly.
After returning to his room, Gao Lin washed his face and did not go to Lu Hai's room again. He just lay on the bed, thinking of the past interactions with Zhang Ruoran and her sad death, and felt upset in his heart.
After probably lying there for a few minutes, Xiao Zifeng opened the door and came in. He glanced at Gao Lin on the bed and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After staying in the room for more than two hours, the competition staff came to inform them to enter the venue.
"Is it okay?" Xiao Zifeng asked when he saw Gao Lin sitting up from the bed.
"Is there anything you can do?" Gao Lin turned around and said after tidying up the bed.
"That's fine." Xiao Zifeng said.
After getting dressed and calming down, Gao Lin walked out when he heard Lu Hai calling at the door.
As usual, there were many e-sports media gathered under the stairs of the hotel. However, at this time, those e-sports media were interviewing the Russian team.
Since all participating teams stay in the same hotel, it is normal for them to bump into each other.
Seeing Gao Lin and others coming out, the domestic e-sports media immediately swarmed over, while the foreign media ignored them and continued to interview the coaches and players of the Russian team.
"Coach Yang, Coach Lu, just now the coach of the Russian team said that he must beat you in this game, what do you want to say about this?" A tall young reporter first squeezed in front of the crowd and said.
"We have nothing to say. As I said before, everything depends on true ability. Any talk is false. We are not afraid of any challenges, let alone any threats." Yang Zhenxing said.
"Professor Yang, can I interview the soy sauce man?" A round-faced female reporter forced her way forward.
"It depends on whether he agrees or not." Yang Zhenxing looked back at Gao Lin and said.
Seeing Yang Zhenxing's gaze, Gao Lin nodded slightly.
Soon, several reporters crowded in front of him. The round-faced female reporter was the first to ask: "Soy sauce man, at the end of the last game, Julilanko seemed to have refused to shake your hand. Can you tell me about that time?" What is the situation? Many people on the Internet are paying attention to this issue now."
"This is just a joke." Gao Lin said, "Julilanko is a very good person. He would not do such an impolite thing. Besides, we are friends, so this kind of thing is even more impossible to happen."
"Then why doesn't he shake hands with you?" asked a young reporter with a middle-parted comb.
"That's really a joke by Mr. Lu and the others. Don't overthink it." Before Gao Lin could say anything, Zhang Zhouda said, "Things are not as complicated as you think, let alone as intrigue as you think."
"Indeed." Shi Xin nodded sadly, "It's normal for friends to joke around."
"Okay, let's stop the interview here first. We have to go in first." Not wanting to talk too much to the media, Lu Hai waved his hand and said.
"Jiao Lu, please let us do the interview..." The reporters followed closely behind. However, Lu and Hai did not stop. They led Gao Lin and others past the Russian team and went straight to Albert. Go towards the side entrance of the concert hall.
After waiting in the backstage direction for three or four minutes, the Russian team came over.
After greeting each other for a while, without much communication, the two sides entered their respective contestant areas under the leadership of the referee.
Compared to the last game, there were fewer people coming to the concert hall to watch the game this time, but there were still nearly 2,000 people, filling the lower floor, and the second floor was almost full.
After sitting on the chairs and adjusting the machines, Gao Lin and others entered the competition room and prepared to start the game.
