In the third round of the KPL spring regular season, a key matchup in Group S, the top-ranked Prime team easily defeated the Emperor team 2:0 in two rounds.
After two games, the Emperor team's head count was controlled to single digits, and the time did not exceed half an hour. This is enough to prove that the gap between the two teams is too huge and they are not at the same level.
After being interviewed by the host, players from Team Prime and Team Emperor inevitably met again in the lounge backstage.
Emperor team Qiyu, as a player from Prime team, of course came to Prime team to say hello.
Seeing Qi Yu, Team Prime captain Su Zhe was the first to apologize.
"I'm sorry Qiyu, I didn't show mercy during the competition."
Qiyu was single-killed by Su Zhe in two consecutive games today, which was a bit uncomfortable. Qiyu himself was also very depressed, embarrassed and humiliated.
But the most important thing about e-sports is fairness, and he can't complain.
"It doesn't matter, it's because my skills are inferior to others. If I work hard next time, I will fight back again!" Qiyu said confidently.
"That's good, just don't damage your self-confidence." Su Zhe said with a smile.
What he is worried about is not that the Emperor team will fall into the loser's bracket after losing this game. What he is worried about is that Qiyu's self-confidence will be dampened, which is not conducive to his growth.
After all, Akon’s mistakes will serve as lessons for everyone.
It was precisely because Akon lost to Han Meng in the competition that he became eccentric and his career path was almost cut off.
At this time, Wangcai suddenly asked: "By the way, Qiyu, where is Akon? Why didn't that guy come over?"
After hearing this, Qiyu whispered: "Akon...Senior Akon was in a bad mood. He left alone after the interview session, and his face looked ugly."
After hearing this, Wangcai frowned and said, "How come this guy can't afford to lose so much? We are all old friends, so we finally talked about it. Even if we lose the game, we should say hello."
Xiaoya immediately advised: "Forget it, just go. Akon has been waiting for this day for a long time. He originally wanted to have a back-and-forth fight with us to at least save his dignity, but he didn't expect to lose so badly.
He must feel uncomfortable on his face and in his heart."
"Yes." Han Meng also nodded and said, "The Emperor team is actually not yet mature now. Whether it is the style of play or the cooperation of the players, it still needs to be adjusted. Akon is a little too anxious. He will wait for at least one or two seasons.
Come and discuss with us again, only then can we hope to achieve results."
However, Su Zhe patted Qi Yu on the shoulder encouragingly and said, "As a new team, you are already very good at playing like this."
"Hehe, I think so." Qiyu said optimistically.
Afterwards, after chatting with old friends from the Prime team, Qiyu turned and left the Prime team's lounge.
Akon from the Emperor team returned to the team bus early and sat in a corner of the back row with headphones on and eyes closed, silently adjusting his mentality.
"Is the strength gap between us... really that big? I don't believe it, I won't accept it, Prime Team, no matter what, I will defeat you with my own hands, I will definitely..."
…
After defeating the Emperor team, the Prime team actually has no pressure anymore.
Because the remaining two teams in Group S are their old rivals, Han Meng also figured out their styles during the previous matches, so there would be no problem in beating them.
If nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that the Prime team can be steadily promoted to the winner group.
In other words, the Prime team only needs to play two rounds in the playoffs to advance to the finals.
It starts with the quarter-finals, and comes with resurrection armor - this is simply equivalent to having half a foot on the championship podium.
At this time, there was an atmosphere of optimism and joy throughout the team, because everyone felt that the Prime team's championship this season was secure.
Lin Yan took advantage of his short break and took a taxi to the KPL youth training camp.
He wanted to take some time to relax, but besides that, he also had two purposes for this trip.
One purpose, of course, is to meet his girlfriend Jingzhe, who has been away for a week. During this period, Jingzhe was very busy with training, and Lin Yan was even busier with training. The two of them lived in separate places, and could only make phone calls and chat via video every day.
Another purpose was that after the Tiangong team was eliminated, A Wei's life became leisurely. Lin Yan happened to meet and chat with A Wei.
By the time Lin Yan took a taxi to the KPL youth training camp, Ah Wei had already arrived early.
At this time, Ah Wei was standing outside the training room of the youth training camp, watching Jingzhe, Guo Hao and their training matches remotely through the big screen.
Lin Yan walked to the corridor and shouted softly from a few steps away: "Awei! Awei!"
A Wei turned around and waved to Lin Yan enthusiastically.
"you are late."
"Hey, there's a traffic jam on the road."
When old friends meet, they naturally have smiles on their faces.
Lin Yan found that A Wei's expression was a little more relaxed than before when Tiangong was not eliminated. It should be that the repair during this period made her mood happier.
"Are you in a good mood lately?" Lin Yan asked with a smile.
"It's a holiday... Of course I feel better. I no longer have to train until early in the morning every day, and I don't have to feel stressed about the competition." A Wei said straightforwardly, "Although I feel unhappy after being eliminated, at least I feel comfortable."
When saying this, A Wei's expression was very calm.
Lin Yan could also see that A Wei was really relaxed now.
This is a good state, at least it can prepare for the future.
"You should have known for a long time that Coach Han will go to Tiangong to teach. He is a good coach, completely different from a coach like Skywalker." Lin Yan said.
"Of course I know." A Wei nodded, "Actually, Coach Han has talked to me three times during this period. He is quite sincere and sincerely puts himself and the team members on an equal footing, not like Skywalker.
I always feel that I am above the team members, that I am the leader and the superior, and that we must obey him unconditionally."
"Then how do you decide?" Lin Yan asked again, "Are you still going to leave Team Tiangong?"
After a brief hesitation, A Wei nodded lightly.
"Well, I still have to go."
"Why?"
"Because all the memories I have here are unhappy. Even if Skywalker is fired, even if Swordsman, Shark, and Peanut will be purged in the future, Senior Lucky is very good to me, and Coach Han is also a very good coach, but
As long as I wear the Tiangong Team uniform, I will think of those bad things..." A Wei said honestly.
Lin Yan listened silently.
A Wei continued: "As soon as I put on the Tiangong Team uniform, I will think of Skywalker's distrust of me, I will think of Peanuts, Shark, they form a clique, and the Swordsman will taunt me. And from the beginning
, I don’t like the Tiangong team, I am a fan of Prime, you won’t forget it, right?”
"Of course I haven't forgotten it," Lin Yan said immediately.
But there is one thing he did not say, that is, the Prime team will definitely not be able to recruit Wei now.
Although Lu Ming is inferior to Ah Wei in terms of strength, he is not inferior by much. If Ah Wei is forcibly introduced, then the Prime team will have to restructure the lineup from scratch, and also have to deal with the problem of Lu Ming and Ah Wei playing, which is very troublesome.
.
Although from a subjective point of view, Lin Yan really wanted to be teammates with Ah Wei again, and he also wanted to bring Ah Wei to the Prime team, from an objective point of view, this was unlikely.
And before that, Lin Yan also promised Phoenix Team Phoenix and Nirvana to help them win over A Wei who wanted to transfer.
Perhaps compared to Prime, the newly emerged Phoenix team will be a better choice.
"Awei, have you ever paid attention to the Phoenix team?"
"Of course I have paid attention to the beauty team. The ladies there are so beautiful that even a girl like me is jealous..." A Wei said straightforwardly.
Lin Yan laughed and said, "You are quite honest, but you are also a beauty yourself."
The implication of this sentence was very obvious, but A Wei didn't seem to hear it.
"Why did you suddenly think of praising me? That's weird." A Wei said warily.
Lin Yan smiled helplessly and said bluntly: "I mean, you are a beauty, and Team Phoenix is also a team of beauties. Have you ever considered joining Team Phoenix?"
