This year is the third International Invitational Tournament.
"What time does the game start?" Xu Yunlong yawned loudly, stretched his waist and stretched his neck.
It's already 10 o'clock in the evening, and after that there will be individual training, no team training, but it is TI after all, so we still have to watch the game.
"Starting at 12 o'clock, let's take a rest first." Xiao Qingyue said and took out a drink from the refrigerator.
"I'm here to help." Qi Mei, who had naturally blended into the OK base, smiled and took the Coke that Xiao Qingyue took out, and walked up to the team members who were moving in the same place and handed the Coke to them.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Qingyue smiled gratefully at Qi Mei. In the past two days, Qi Mei has been helping with the groceries in the OK team. Why not help write express orders? Help with cleaning.
Washing and cooking, in short, it has always been a role of free labor.
Xiao Qingyue also said that she would pay wages. But Qi Mei firmly refused. She only asked Xu Yunlong to be his master and teach her to play Dota 2 if he had time. She wanted to give her brother a surprise when he returned to China.
Xiao Qingyue thought about it for a while and didn't think there was any big problem, so she agreed. She also talked to Xu Yunlong and asked him to spend half an hour to an hour every day playing with Qi Mei.
Although Xu Yunlong did not want to waste this time, and Ye Qiu also volunteered to serve as Qi Mei's coach, an honorable and great position. However, Qi Mei did not seem to appreciate it and only asked Xu Yunlong to teach her alone.
Xu Yunlong couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Qi Mei, where is my drink?" Ye Qiu was a little unhappy when he saw that Qi Mei had brought cokes for Xu Yunlong and Xuan Wu, but not for himself.
"We are at Sister Qingyue's place, what are you in a hurry for?" Qi Mei has long been familiar with the people in the team, and her words are not so polite.
"Just give it to me." Ye Qiu blinked, looking forward to it.
"I don't want to. Go by yourself." Qi Mei snorted, turned around and ignored Ye Qiu. She turned around and walked to Xu Yunlong's side. Her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. Her voice became sweeter and she asked with a smile:
"When will Brother Long have time to teach me tonight?"
"Your wife is already playing very well." Xu Yunlong is still not used to talking to Qi Mei. After all, they have only known each other for half a month. They are not very familiar with her.
However, Qi Mei refused and started to act coquettishly while grabbing Xu Yunlong's arm.
"I also want to play Water Man. Brother Long, you are so good at using Water Man. Teach me."
Click, the sound of something breaking came from Ye Qiu's seat.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yunlong raised his head and looked at Ye Qiu.
"Nothing, nothing." Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head. He said it was normal, but quickly hid the pencil that he had broken.
"Xiaoqiu, do you like Qi Mei?" Zhu Quehuang came over and whispered in Ye Qiu's ear.
"No, no!" Ye Qiu blushed and retorted with wide eyes, "Who likes that flat chest?"
"If Qi Mei hears what you said, you will definitely be beaten." Zhu Quehuang looked at Qi Mei who was still entangled with Xu Yunlong with a horrified look on his face. He was relieved when he was sure that she had not heard Ye Qiu's words.
.
"You hear it when you hear it..." Ye Qiu glanced at Qi Mei and saw that she didn't pay attention to what he meant, with a slight sadness on her face.
Bai Hu pushed up his glasses, snorted and said, "Destined to live a lonely life."
"Fuck, what do you mean?" Ye Qiu immediately looked at Bai Hu unhappily.
Bai Hu ignored him and stared at the computer screen, chatting with his friends on Q.
"It's okay. Brother Long seems to be uninterested in Qimei. You have a chance~" Zhu Quehuang looked like he understood very well and patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder.
Ye Qiu's face immediately turned red, and he lay down on the table. He secretly turned his head and looked at Qi Mei, who was smiling briskly, and gradually became stunned.
"My brother is also participating in this TI." Qi Mei was talking to Xu Yunlong about c5 at this time, "His ID is Lin."
Lin?! Xu Yunlong originally didn't care much about Qi Mei's words, but after hearing this ID, he frowned. If we talk about Lin in the United States, there is only one, and that is the talented boy in the mid lane of the original GS.
But it seems that he was only 16 years old at that time, played one session of ESL and then disappeared. However, his performance in ESL simply blinded everyone.
After that, it was said that many teams approached Lin but none of them succeeded.
Lin should be a freshman now.
"My brother has already finished college, otherwise my mother wouldn't let him play Dota. I remember he played in some Sun team, but his father objected, so he had no choice but to leave. Later he and
My father negotiated and said that he would be allowed to play after graduating from college, so my brother completed the credits one year after college and got his diploma. Then in the first half of the year, c5 invited him to join, and he joined ~ How about it, my brother is awesome."
It is indeed amazing. Xu Yunlong will not deny this. In his impression, in that ESL, Lin's Blackbird beat Liang Yu so hard that he cried immediately after the game. The score of 0-8-5 was, for a player
For the mid laner, it is really ugly, not to mention that five of the kills were killed by Lin alone in the early stage. This is the most unacceptable to Liang Yu, who has been playing Dota for a long time.
After that, lin disappeared for a long time, and gs also had a new mid laner. Although he was not as good as lin, he was still very good.
If what Qi Mei said is true and Lin decides to return to China for development after TI3...
"When your brother returns to China, can we have dinner together?" Xu Yunlong began to make plans in his mind.
"Yes! Of course you can!!" Seeing that Xu Yunlong finally took care of herself, Qi Mei felt extremely happy.
Two hours later, the opening ceremony of the Third International Invitational Tournament officially began.
Looking at the signal broadcast on TV, there are four Chinese national flags flying in the Key Arena in Seattle. It would be false to say that I am not excited or excited. After all, as a Chinese, watching the national flag of my motherland in such a
Appearing in a large-scale international competition, the mood is still very exciting.
However, this year, in this place where he has been twice, there is no trace of him holding the national flag.
"TI4 I'll take the flag." However, when he was anxious before he came, Xuanwu suddenly said this.
"I want to get it too!" Zhu Quehuang also jumped up and waved the flag with a flagpole, "Wow! He's so handsome!"
"Humph, it's just a flag." Bai Hu smiled arrogantly, expressing his disdain.
"Only the captain can hold the flag." Xu Yunlong said.
"But we have to enter the Key Arena first." Only then did Ye Qiu raise his head and look at Xu Yunlong, "Captain B God, I'll be counting on you next year."
Xu Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then sighed, took a deep breath, and looked at the big TV screen with firm eyes.
"Okay, ti4, the five of us will hold the flag and run around the arena three times." (To be continued...)
