Chapter 116 Chapter 116 [Added at the end of the article] First release…
On the day of the semi-finals, Lydia bought the VIP first row.
She had never watched an e-sports match in person, and to be honest, the light pollution was quite serious, with red and blue light constantly sweeping. She wanted to take out lllesteva's sunglasses and put them on, but she felt out of place.
All around her were young people holding light signs, discussing professional terms that she couldn't understand.
"Dream's Hammer is very powerful. If you can't steal it, you can only ban it."
"What should I choose to steal Hammer in the middle? Crow? Ryan?"
"Fuck, isn't Crocodile good!"
"Crocodile has very high requirements in the laning phase. South really can't keep up with Dwan."
"It's not that it's impossible, but the opponent is very demanding."
She had a headache listening to the game terms, and she had a feeling that the next game would be very difficult.
As expected, when the game started, the Nordic-looking on-site commentator started to bang a bunch of terms.
"Dream got the Poke lineup that he is good at in the first game, but unfortunately Hammer was taken away. FKW chose Crocodile in the middle lane, which is another lineup that player South has never used in the game. If they can't get an absolute advantage in the first fifteen minutes, this hero will be useless."
Another Chinese commentator continued, "If they can get an absolute advantage before fifteen minutes, FKW can end the game within forty minutes. With Hammer in the bottom lane, FKW's lineup is obviously a fast attack."
The commentary was all in English. The English speaking speed was fast, which made her ears buzz. If she didn't want to take pictures of Ningning and the others, she would not have come to watch the game in person.
However, she had a misunderstanding about watching the game live. In fact, except for the appearance before the game, the players were sitting behind the computer screen to operate. Even at the scene, only the faces on the big screen could be seen.
Lydia looked at the boy on the big screen and watched patiently.
Fortunately, the game screen is easier to understand than the commentary. You can clearly see the health bars above the players' heads, and who died and who won in the team battle.
She didn't understand what was specifically amazing about the operation, but when Chi Yu and the boy stood side by side in the sea of blood, the cheers from the audience were like waves surging from the sea of blood, so sharp that they almost tore the eardrums.
English.
Japanese.
Korean.
Icelandic.
Chinese...
all were shouting their names.
Lydiay narrowed her eyes and thought, it must be very amazing.
She didn't know the opposing team of FKW, but through the big screen, she could see the captain of Dream sweating and his eyes filled with many incomprehensible emotions.
"Dream's performance this year is already very good. When the new AD was first introduced, they almost didn't make it to the playoffs. Unfortunately, it's still not as good as it was back then."
Back then, he was young, had the championship in hand, and was within reach of the throne.
But that's it.
In the early stage, FKW relied on Crocodile and Rekas to achieve absolute suppression. The two cooperated seamlessly. It should have been possible to end the game within 40 minutes, but there will never be such a Crocodile and Rekas again.
There will never be such a cooperation again.
But Dream dragged the game to the 49th minute. The short Dwan sat in front of the computer. The former champion, who was famous all over Beijing and had a lifelong spirit that shook the world, became a wall in front of Dream.
His Dreamweaver blocked the whole team.
Ningnanzhou was blocked by Dwan. Even though he couldn't see the opponent's face, he knew that the opponent was trying his best and risking his life. That was a desire and ambition that only opponents could understand.
The desire to regain glory and climb to the altar.
Those ambitions that burned day and night were the sun that you would see when you looked up, and the scars that would wake you up in the middle of the night.
But there is only one champion.
His Crocodile almost cruelly broke through Dream's formation, and almost at the same time, Rekas entered the field and used his ultimate!
He doesn't need to worry about whether the crocodile's charge knocks the enemy away, because every time he charges, Chi Yu will steadily kill the stunned enemy. The high-explosive mid-jungle is like a meat grinder hanging on the battlefield.
He stares at every enemy with a cold and huge gaze.
Dwan's Dreamweaver fell down, and as the Dreamweaver's avatar turned black, Lydia in the audience finally understood Dwan's eyes.
It was pain.
It was the pain of a team being dismantled when it was just one step away from the throne of god, the pain of falling down before the finals despite being unable to sleep, the pain of having a beautiful dream broken by one's own hands right in front of one's eyes. The essence of e-sports is pain.
Is this what Ningning and the others love?
Unspeakable emotions emerged in Lydia's heart, and something fell from the corner of her eyes.
She touched her eyes and found that they were tears.
The beautiful dream of the Dreamweaver turned into a throne in the sea of blood, and Chi Yu and the boy leaned against each other on the throne.
The bloody smell was so strong that she could smell it even in the audience. FKW ended the game 3-0, and the commentator's voice was close to a roar.
"Let us congratulate the triple crown team FKW for entering the 14th Global Finals! Players Nidhogg and South contributed wonderful mid-jungle performances. I see the rising twin stars!" The
Nordic commentator was so excited that tears came out, but everyone in front of the screen could see Chi Yu's hand tightening the bandage.
Even if FKW officials didn't say it explicitly, they could guess that this year was Chi Yu's last year of competition, even though the last pair, Xue Mian and Ye Fei, who were known as the twin stars of the alliance, had fought for three years.
Ren Xingzhou, who came to watch the game from training, thought that it was more like the Roche limit than a twin star.
The Roche limit refers to the minimum distance between two celestial bodies that can maintain their integrity under the influence of each other's gravity. Chi Yu and Ning Nanzhou are like the intersection of stars within the Roche limit. It is the closest moment in fate, bursting with an incomparable and magnificent light. But
it was only a moment.
At the same time, K1 also won.
—It
gets dark early in Iceland in winter. It was dark after the game at ten o'clock.
"Do you want to go back to the hotel to eat or go to a fast food restaurant?" Yu Jinan asked after the game.
Although the host was stingy in other aspects, such as only providing economy cabins for the players, which cost tens of thousands of liters, the accommodation and food were good, and the hotel provided all kinds of supper after the game.
The Chinese chef in the hotel was probably hired from Chinatown. The food he made could not be said to be non-Chinese food, but dishes like bitter melon and braised pork were very strange.
He would rather go to a fast food restaurant to eat burgers.
Just when everyone was thinking of fast food restaurants, a stretched Lincoln stopped in front of them, the door opened, and Lydia in the car asked: "Is anyone allergic to seafood? I ordered a seafood feast."
Xiao Qiao was the first to defect: "Old Yu, you have grown up, go to a fast food restaurant by yourself, I will try the luxury seafood feast for you."
Before Yu Jinan could react, the others got in the car.
He stood alone in the cool breeze, his mind still not reacting after the game, and immediately chased after him: "Who said I want to eat fast food! I want to be kept by the boss too!"
A man in FKW uniform chased Lincoln and shouted that I want to be kept by the boss. There are Chinese people in Iceland, especially fans who come to watch the game.
Someone immediately posted on the e-sports forum.
【黴有有】FKW Yu Jinan chased the boss on the street and asked for support. Is this a lack of humanity or a moral decline?
The comments below turned pages faster than turning pages of a book!
【How to write the homework】Ah! Are you so happy after the game?
【Vinxeuty】Yu Jinan's words are normal. He was the man who shouted that he would go to the sea without playing professionally.
【暖酒不醉】It's time to retire now...
【爱的甜點的鹽鹽】I remember FKW's new boss, a woman.
【吱吱乱麽】That's fine.
【夜知秋】Yu Jinan Tienantong
In the private room by the window of the restaurant, FKW sat in front of a table full of seafood.
There is still a week before the finals, so it's okay to eat as much as you can today.
Ning Nanzhou, on the other hand, felt a little awkward while eating. He was still not used to facing his elders, especially when they were staring at him with a smile.
This awkwardness continued until others went to get the drinks from the buffet, and he and Lydia sat facing each other.
Oops! I should have let Chi Yu get it for me!
He felt as if there were ten thousand ants crawling on his chair. He didn't know whether to leave or not, and he lowered his head awkwardly to drink the soup.
Lydia didn't seem to notice his embarrassment, and took a sip of tea very naturally: "Ningning, how did you and Chi Yu get married?"
Here it comes!
How was he going to tell the other party that it was three days and three nights!
The silver-haired boy lowered his head even lower, and spoke with a weak voice: "Just... He said his family has been urging him to get married, so I... I just..."
The boy, who was calm and cool on the court, talked for a long time without saying anything. Instead, Lydia smiled even more deeply, and the always elegant girl almost pounded the table.
"Is this how he deceives children?"
The boy's mouth opened into a round shape?
"He has a very tense relationship with his family. His father has never supported him to pursue a professional career, but I must clarify one thing." Lydia cleared her throat, "We have never interfered with his marriage problems. His father and I also got married at the age of 30."
Looking at Lydia, who was in her early 40s, Ning Nanzhou's mouth opened even wider: "Then you..."
"It's impolite to ask about age." Lydia interrupted his question.
Ning Nanzhou had to stop asking questions. For a moment, he didn't know whether Lydia's actual age or her reason for getting married was more shocking.
When Chi Yu returned to his seat with a drink, Lydia winked at him.
The boy also winked. It seemed that there was a little secret between the two.
Xiao Qiao and the others also returned to their seats with drinks. Xiao Qiao drank Laoshan White Snake Grass Water with a straw: "It's worthy of being a rich banquet. There is even Laoshan White Snake Grass Water."
Lydia looked at the child and smiled gently.
"Qiao Zhengqi." Yu Jinan suddenly called his name seriously.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qiao turned her head.
"Next time, don't sit next to me. I feel a little embarrassed."
Xiao Qiao began to reflect on whether she was really embarrassed, but then she realized that Shi Huai was on his left and Yu Jinan was on his right. Didn't Yu Jinan want to sit next to Shi Huai?
A cunning gay!
He didn't stand this arrogance, so he sat next to Pei Ji with a cup.
As soon as he sat down, he saw Pei Ji reading the latest foreign tomato novel.
—— Fei Muxue sadly discovered that Huo Youqian didn't love her, so what was his pampering over the years, what was the eight babies she gave birth to, she resolutely walked out of the Huo family with eight genius babies...
Xiao Qiao: ...suddenly I can tolerate gays
He returned to the middle of Shi Huai and Yu Jinan with Laoshan White Snake Grass Water, and his buttocks were firmly planted, like a sea-stabilizing magic needle.
Yu Jinan: ...You are awesome
Xiao Qiao didn't notice Yu Jinan's resentment, and ate crabs while drinking poisonous water: "It would be great if we could see the aurora. We have been here for so long and still haven't seen any."
"Is there a possibility--" Ning Nanzhou said while drinking juice, "It will only enter its active period after the aurora night."
"So seeing the aurora is a miracle! If we can see the aurora before the game, doesn't it mean that God will bless us to win the championship?" Xiao Qiao became extremely excited.
Ning Nanzhou is more tolerant of small animals with lower IQs, so he didn't remind Xiao Qiao that K1 can also see the aurora.
The happy time passed by in a flash, and in a blink of an eye they had to return to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow's training.
Ning Nanzhou and Chi Yu returned to the room. The hotel for the semi-finals was larger than that in Acre. There was a small courtyard outside the French window. He could see a bright moon by lying on the bamboo chair in the courtyard.
He lay there for a while and was about to go to sleep when he suddenly remembered what Lydia had told him.
There was the sound of a shower in the room. Chi Yu was taking a shower.
Reason told him that he should wait until Chi Yu finished showering before asking him questions, but an impulse made him walk behind the glass door of the bathroom: "I want to ask you something."
The sound of the shower stopped suddenly, and Chi Yu walked to the glass: "Ask."
The glass in the bathroom is frosted. Although you can't see people clearly, you can probably see the outline of muscles and...
The boy turned his head in a second: "Um... I want to ask... are you really forced to get married by your family?"
He closed his eyes after asking.
What is he asking!
What does he want to hear!
"Do you know the subconscious?" Chi Yu didn't answer.
"Sixth sense?"
"Almost. The subconscious is the psychological activity that occurs without conscious cognition, including memories, desires, conflicts and repressed content from birth to the present." The
boy tilted his head, not knowing why Chi Yu said this to him.
The next second, the other party narrated slowly in a calm and gentle tone.
"My subconscious mind tells me that I will fall in love with you, want to open you, possess you, and hug you."
Chi Yu went to a church school since he was a child. Catholic conservatives believe that homosexual behavior violates theological ethics. He has never had any desires and has a weak connection with this world. The first time he had desires was to play e-sports.
The second time was with Ning Nanzhou.
The boy remembered every word, and his ears were almost red: "Pervert."
"It seems that you lack understanding of me." The next second, the glass door opened, and Chi Yu hooked one hand around the boy, like a black snake that swallowed the little white bird.
"Come, get to know me well."
Ning Nanzhou was suddenly pulled into the bathroom, and the warm water vapor hit his face roughly. One hand was pulled by Chi Yu to touch the chest muscles with water droplets.
He knew it!!!
Ning Nanzhou took a deep breath: "I know it very well!"
"Then do you know how long I am?" the other party asked shamelessly.
Ning Nanzhou: "..."
Although he knew everything, feeling is one thing and knowing the length is another.
He spoke uncertainly: "...18?"
"21.6." Chi Yu put his hand on it and got to know it inch by inch.
Ahhhhh he didn't want to know!
He struggled to break free from Chi Yu's hand the moment he held it. He couldn't break free in the past, but this time he broke free easily.
Ning Nanzhou understood something in an instant, stopped the movement of his hands, and asked in a muffled voice.
"Next year... you will retire, right?"
In fact, this question already had an answer. When they walked out of the door after the game, a fan asked Chi Yu if he would not play next year, but he covered his ears and did not want to listen. Only at this moment, with water vapor covering his eyes, did he dare to ask.
Chi Yu nodded lightly.
Ning Nanzhou did not ask the other party if he was sad. He could answer that the reason he gave up everything to play games was because when his life ended, he would find that he had never lived. It would be impossible for him not to be sad.
For the first time, he was thankful that humans invented kissing, and he stumbled and kissed her.
Because of his unskilled movements and height restrictions, he only kissed Chi Yu's chin.
Chi Yu's eyes seemed a little red, or it was water vapor, or it was his tears.
"I don't really regret it."
As if seeing his confusion, Chi Yu explained, "I became a professional because I have little connection with the world. Only games can make my heart beat. But after meeting you--"
Chi Yu hugged him tightly, letting him listen to the rise and fall of his chest: "It beats for you."
The steam in the bathroom continued to spread, covering the originally blurry glass tightly, but the boy's body was pressed tightly against the glass, and there was something between his legs.
The next day, the boy left the hotel and walked into a Mexican shop.
-
Finals, Reykjavik.
Reykjavik is located in the southwest of Iceland, passing by the East Greenland Cold Current. It is one of the northernmost capitals in the world.
The earliest name was Smoke Bay. When Norwegian explorers first came to Reykjavik, they found a lot of white steam coming out of the ground. In fact, it was steam produced by geothermal activity. In cold areas, it looked like a cloud of smoke. At this moment, smoke was placed around the Reykjavik Arena for celebration.
Today, the temperature dropped to zero degrees. Icicles hung on the branches. The slender glass cones reflected the crowds outside the arena and the Hallgrímskirkja Cathedral in the distance.
Lao Mao was invited to live broadcast the game. He started the live broadcast as soon as he got off the plane. When he saw the crowd in front of him, he was shocked: "This person is too exaggerated!"
He deliberately aimed the camera at the crowd that was like a swarm of ants enveloping the arena.
[FKW Four Crowns is the scene of the godhood, what do you think]
[My boss has bought tickets]
[Live? ? ? The old cat is awesome]
At the domestic CAT training base, a bunch of players gathered.
Everyone squeezed on the sofa in the villa's living room, watching the countdown to the S14 finals on the screen. Qi Ming suddenly stood up: "Liu Xiuqi and the others are coming, I'll go get some chairs."
"Didn't Liu Xiuqi say that he was jealous of watching the finals?" Yao Xu, who was sitting on the sofa, asked.
At this time, the door was pushed open, cold air rushed in, and Liu Xiuqi, wrapped in a heavy down jacket, walked in: "I was jealous at first, but then I thought it was Chi Shen's last game."
All major live broadcast websites were waiting in a serious manner. Whether it was technical anchors or game anchors, they all put down their work at the same time.
The little yellow bird anchor Xiao Longnv excitedly told the story that has been told for 800 years: "You know South, he was still a little anchor a year ago, and I played ranked games with him! Later, he gave me autographed peripherals when we went offline!"
The official studio was solemn, and the staff checked the lights, lenses, and manuscripts again and again. Cen Jiangtao, who was in charge of the commentary of the finals, frowned, and his shadow was cast on the gray-blue suit with fine fabrics.
Five,
four,
three,
two,
one!
Click-
the top light of the studio lit up, flames burst out of the competition site, and the players entered after the opening ceremony.
Everyone's eyes were locked on Chi Yu and the boy, but they just looked at each other and sat down.
There is no need to talk about the past storms and snows, fortunately I can support you side by side.
Cen Jiangtao sat in front of the camera with a smile, and there was a hidden excitement under his calm voice.
"Hello, audience friends, welcome to the 14th World Finals, our team FKW against the Korean undefeated team K1, this is their seventh time to enter the world championship and the fifth time to enter the finals. If they win this game, they will win four championships unprecedentedly. No team has achieved this result, and I believe there will be no more in the future."
"Then, let us look forward to this grand event!"
