Team Prime’s first opponent is also a veteran team from KPL.
The "Minghui" team, the top team in the last KPL, once ranked second in Group A in the autumn split. Unfortunately, it was defeated by the dark horse Devil team in the final knockout round, stopping in the quarterfinals and unable to move forward.
But despite this, everyone's evaluation of the "Minghui" team is still very high. The media even claimed that if the dark horse Devil team had not brought out the unstoppable gangster Mengqi in the knockout round, the "Minghui" team would not have
Team Devil will be blocked from advancing.
Even Su Zhe's teammate, Tiger from the Prime team, also praised the "Minghui" team.
"This is indeed a strong team in the KPL league. In terms of strength, they may be close to the top four."
For Prime, encountering such a tough nut in the opening game of the Spring Split is by no means a good sign.
Game day.
Team Prime is on the bus heading to the arena.
"Captain, have you read the media reports today? They actually said that our team only knows how to abuse others and pick the weak ones."
Wangcai looked depressed and turned back to Su Zhe with his cell phone.
Su Zhe was stunned: "When did the media report on us again?"
"No, the push just came in at noon today, analyzing the KPL Spring Split this afternoon. It said that the reason why our team achieved such good results in the first two qualifying matches was just because the opponent was too weak, and it also said that our team is a bastard.
A master who only knows how to abuse people will be frightened when he meets a strong team!" Wangcai said angrily.
Hearing what Wangcai said, Tiger and Lucky both came over.
"And this kind of media? Isn't it too shameless?"
"How do they know that our team is afraid of strong teams? Why do they say that?"
Su Zhe took Wangcai's cell phone and looked down at it.
The article was written by a well-known Honor of Kings information station, with a powerful title: "Preview of the second round of the KPL Spring Split."
Su Zhe flipped through his phone and glanced downwards. He whispered to his teammates: "KPL Spring Split Group B will have its second game tonight. The two teams will be played against: Prime Team and Minghui Team.
They are all old faces in the KPL. Judging from the results last season, the Minghui team was firmly ahead of the Prime team..."
After reading the content up to this point, everything is still normal, because last season the Prime team did not have Su Zhe, Wang Cai, Lucky and others to join, and the record was indeed terrible, while the "Minghui" team performed very well last season.
, if it weren’t for bad luck, maybe we could have successfully reached the top four.
But the following description made Team Prime very angry.
Su Zhe continued to read: "So far this season, the Prime team has shown a very good momentum, but if you look carefully, you will feel that the Prime team is quite trying to gain fame. The first two rounds of the KPL qualifying matches and the Spring Split.
The difficulty of the main competition is different. In the first two rounds of qualifying, all the teams that the Prime team encountered were promoted teams from the secondary league. It is worth noting that the Prime team introduced a large number of players from the secondary league this year. Among them
The four new players all come from the second-tier league King's City Tournament. This also shows that they have sufficient experience when facing the second-tier league teams, but can such an immature team withstand the test of the KPL regular army?
, this is questionable..."
"Damn, what do you mean?!"
Hearing this, Lucky was the first to get angry.
"What's wrong with us coming from the secondary league? Who in the KPL didn't come from the secondary league? Was Hanshan a KPL player when he debuted? Was Skywalker the MVP of the KPL when he debuted? Liu Bei was still buying straw sandals before he became emperor! I'm sorry.
What happened to the league?"
Wangcai also said angrily: "That's right, what this editor said is so irritating. He obviously doesn't take our Prime team seriously! And more, Captain, if you read the next one, it will be even more irritating!"
Su Zhe took a deep breath, resisted the urge to throw his phone and continued reading: "...the two teams meeting tonight are like armies from two different dimensions. The Prime team showed off its power in front of the secondary league teams, and showed off its majesty, but
After all, they are just masters of abuse, picking up weak ones. But Minghui Team is a veteran and strong team in KPL. Their previous performance was tepid, and they are just keeping a low profile and preparing for success. Therefore, in this game, the editor is optimistic about Minghui Team.
In the end, they won. After all, in front of a truly strong team, the Prime team has little chance of winning. When a paper tiger meets a real tiger, the result can be imagined..."
"Wow!"
Hearing this, even Tiger, who was accustomed to KPL media reports, couldn't help but curse.
"When a god's paper tiger meets a real tiger, how come our Prime team is just a paper tiger?"
Akon muttered unhappily: "We just came from the second-tier league, why do you always look down on us?"
At this time, Han Xiaojun, who was sitting in the back of the car with his eyes half-closed, smiled: "Hey... I'm just bullying you guys because you're new! Just get used to it, it's okay... My old comrade-in-arms scholar from Tiangong didn't have the same attitude before. He always felt that
You lack experience in competitions, coupled with your young age, you will inevitably stumble on the big stage of KPL..."
"Coach, what do you think?" Akon turned around and asked Han Xiaojun: "Do you think we will also fall?"
Han Xiaojun laughed, sat up straight and said seriously: "If I thought you were incompetent, why would I bring you to KPL? Don't forget, I'm still waiting for you to help me beat the Tiangong team!"
After hearing this, everyone in the Prime team smiled.
Su Zhe also nodded and said, "Yes, Coach Han will never think that all of us are paper tigers, because he knows that we are real tigers."
Han Xiaojun smiled and nodded, then clenched his fists and said: "Don't be afraid of the media's questioning, ridicule or even insult. This should be the motivation of our Prime team. Don't they look down on us? Our Prime team just wants to show them.
We just have this strength! We just went from the secondary league to the KPL! Don’t be afraid, every newly popular team will face overwhelming doubts, trolls and insults. Some media are smart and sow discord, and some media
It’s just ulterior motives and jealousy. In short, as long as we are down-to-earth and go step by step, we will be able to prove ourselves and convince others of our Prime team!”
After Han Xiaojun finished speaking, the Prime team applauded.
Han Xiaojun smiled and nodded, pointing towards the e-sports center in front of the bus.
"Let's go! Let's conquer the arena tonight!"
…
On the playing field.
The Prime team and the "Minghui" team entered the venue successively. Although both teams are mid-range teams in the KPL, one is above average and the other is below average, the auditorium was still full and the fans were in high spirits!
On the one hand, the original number of fans of the "Minghui" team is very large. The unfortunate loss to the Devil team last season made their fans feel very sorry for them, so their loyalty to them is very high. On the other hand, the Prime team passed
The outstanding performance in the two qualifying rounds conquered many new viewers and made them new fans of the Prime team.
In the last round of Prime, the team played the first abuse in the history of KPL. Although many seniors in the industry criticized it as "excessive", "immoral" and "cruel", some fans just like this kind of hearty play.
Prime is deeply attracted by his unpretentious, decisive and non-verbose temperament.
Therefore, in tonight's competition, the Prime team and the "Minghui" team competed equally.
As both parties entered the arena, the familiar voice of commentator Zihao sounded again.
“Welcome to watch the second round of Group B of the 2018 KPL Spring Split between Team Prime and Team Minghui!”
Next to Zihao's partner Qianqian smiled sweetly: "I believe the two teams will bring us a very beautiful game tonight! Like everyone else, I can't wait!"
