"What day?" Zhong Xiang, who was sitting at the back, was confused. He leaned forward and asked in confusion, "Why do I feel like you two have been talking to each other a lot lately?"
Lin Meng's body stiffened, and she sat up straight, feeling extremely guilty. Yu Mo placed one hand on the back of her chair and said with a smile, "Really? No."
"Hey, Silence, I'm warning you, this is a life-or-death moment, don't do anything weird to me." Zhong Xiang said vigilantly.
"What kind of tricks could I possibly pull?" Yu Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Hey Zhong Xiang, you can't treat me like this just because I'm not playing center anymore. It's really heartbreaking."
Zhong Xiang: "It's rare for our team to have a beautiful girl. Have I ever told you that if there is a girl on the team, I will spoil her to death? Even if you pay me, I still won't give you the opportunity to take advantage of me!"
Yu Mo: “…”
Zhong Xiang: "LEMON, listen to Brother Zhong and don't be distracted. Silence just likes to flirt with you from time to time. All single older men with a bit of good looks are like this. Stay away from him. He's a pervert."
Lin Meng: “…”
Yu Mo: “…”
While the jokes were going on, the car arrived at the studio.
After a few people got off the car and walked into the shed, they happened to see a team walking out of the shed.
Lin Meng was walking forward holding the thermos cup when she was bumped by the sudden sound of a bell.
She looked up in confusion and saw the other team's blue and white uniforms and a huge SOS logo.
Sword of sky sky blade team.
A name flashed through Lin Meng's mind.
SOS_Arthur.
The top sniper in the Korean server who fought Yu Mo in a decisive game of last year's World Championship and lost by one move in the end.
She turned her head and looked, and sure enough, she saw a tall and thin man walk up to Yu Mo and stop.
Lin Meng knew that Yu Mo had a certain foundation in Korean. Although his speech might not be authentic, he had no problem communicating normally in listening, reading and writing. The two men greeted each other in a language she could not understand. Although they had smiles on their faces, the atmosphere always felt a little tense.
"Why are SOS participating in the Asian Invitational Tournament?" Lin Meng asked Zhong Xiang quietly, "Aren't they the seeded players from the Korean region?"
"Really?" Zhong Xiang touched his nose. "I'm also wondering why they came. It's a waste of time!"
"Is it revenge for the shooting at Silence back then?" Xiao Xingheng whispered, "Didn't you hear? They had a training match with SN the night before last..."
The day before yesterday, they were preparing to go to Busan. They had just arrived in Busan and had been busy all day yesterday. They hadn't had time to learn about the domestic competitions yet. Zhong Xiang and Lin Meng were a little confused: "What next?"
"Zero to five." Xiao Xingheng said.
"Zero to five?!" Lin Meng asked in shock, "Who's zero and who's five?"
"SN is zero." Xiao Xingheng's voice deepened. "Initially, SN was planning to suppress the news, but someone let it slip during a livestream yesterday, and the internet went viral."
"The domestic autumn champion was suppressed by SOS to achieve this result." Zhong Xiang murmured, "It's a bit unreasonable..."
"But...how could this be possible?" Lin Meng said in disbelief. "SN's level is pretty good, right?"
"Maybe they're not familiar enough with the new mechanics," Xiao Xingheng said. "Or maybe SOS is too familiar with them." He stared at the blue and white uniforms in the distance. "Perhaps they have a hidden weapon and are just testing it out on SN." After a pause, he sighed, "What a huge threat..."
Lin Meng frowned and looked into the distance. Arthur was a man with fox eyes. When he smiled, the curve of his eyes was like a knife blade. He and Yu Mo were shaking hands. The expressions they gave each other were like those of old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
Super hypocritical.
The meeting was very brief and ended in a flash. Yu Mo put his hands in his pockets, walked back calmly, and invited them to go into the studio together.
Lin Meng leaned towards him and asked in a low voice, "Hey, what did you guys say just now?"
"We talked about some topics that only men would talk about." Yu Mo smiled mysteriously.
"Stop joking, I'm asking you seriously." Lin Meng tugged at the corner of his clothes. "Did he mock you? He said you're useless for quitting and playing support for a woman?"
"It's normal to talk trash before a game, right?" Yu Mo said with a smile, "It's okay. I laughed back."
"What did you mock him for?" Lin Meng asked curiously.
Yu Mo thought for a moment and laughed, "I mocked him for being an older single man."
Lin Meng: “…”
It's quite strange to say that in the professional e-sports industry where the younger you are, the more popular you are, the top snipers from both China and South Korea are stuck at the upper age limit. Yu Mo is 24, and Arthur is even better, at 25.
In terms of age, the two eldest brothers are older than the second brother.
But Yu Mo's trick is really cheap...
Lin Meng raised her eyes and looked at Yu Mo's face. He was mean, but not annoying. On the contrary, he was a bit handsome in a badass way.
This boyfriend filter is too thick.
As a rare female professional player, Lin Meng felt special treatment after entering the studio.
The moment the makeup artist rolled up his sleeves, Lin Meng read a few big words on his face - "I can finally show off my skills."
As a result, the total time spent by the four people over there on makeup was not enough for Lin Meng to finish one eye makeup. Lin Meng was confused and refused to do it. She tried to escape several times, but was pushed back to the stool by several assistants.
Lao Mai and Panda were still pressed on the stools, using foundation to cover their acne scars. Mo Shen, who had the best foundation, just put on some powder. He was free and strolled over.
Lin Xiaomeng was still struggling under the makeup artist's hands. She was cursing in Chinese, but the makeup artist pretended not to hear her and focused on his artistic creation.
While applying mascara, Lin Meng caught sight of Yu Mo. The man stared at her intently, his pupils flickering and dancing. She subconsciously felt embarrassed and gritted her teeth, "Don't look at me! What's so good about heavy makeup? It's just fake!"
Yu Mo blinked.
Sometimes he felt that the only person in the world who could be as “straight” as him was Lin Xiaomeng.
They are a match made in heaven, and they can only bring trouble to each other.
The makeup artist spoke a lot of Korean and held Lin Meng's little face tightly.
Lin Meng said angrily, "What did he say?"
"He said that you have to focus on the details to become beautiful, and you have to be very careful not to let people know you're wearing makeup. This is the essence of high-end nude makeup." Yu Mo smiled with his arms folded.
"Bullshit." Lin Meng rolled his eyes.
After a few more rounds, the makeup artist snapped his fingers with great satisfaction and took a mirror from the side.
Lin Meng seemed to have escaped death. She broke free from the clutches of the makeup artist and was about to say something when she saw a face in the mirror.
The girl in the mirror had fair, delicate skin that was as smooth as a baby's, thick eyelashes, and flying eyeliner and camel-colored eyeshadow that magnified her eyes, making her already sharp eyes even more dazzling and gorgeous.
There is no heavy makeup, and even though she is gorgeous, she exudes a natural purity.
I really don't know how this makeup artist managed to blend these two contradictory temperaments together.
At this time, the hairstylist came over with a curling iron and started to curl her hair. Her long, messy hair was tied into a high ponytail. Panda had finished her makeup and ran over to join in the fun. When she saw him, she yelled, "Fuck, Queen."
Lin Meng's scalp hurt from the tightness of her hair. She glared at him unhappily. Panda's legs went weak and he hugged Yu Mo's arm.
Yu Mo lifted his arm and said, "Dada, you're so heavy."
Panda: "...I was sniped by Queen Lemon."
Yu Mo tried hard to pull his hand away: "Don't worry, you're not the only one being sniped."
Panda raised his head and said foolishly, "I think we have already won at the starting line compared to other teams."
Lin Meng: “?”
Panda: "Our team has a flower! No one else has one!"
Panda: "It's still the Overlord Flower!"
Lin Meng: “…”
On the way back to the hotel after taking the photos, Lin Meng checked her social media.
Sure enough, everyone on the Internet was cursing SN.
Sometimes Lin Meng almost suspected that these people in the e-sports circle were not the same people. They were cheering crazily for SN's victory a dozen days ago, but now they are criticizing SN to the point of disowning them because of an insignificant training match. Their expressions change faster than turning the pages of a book.
Some people even went to a higher level and angrily called the local team the "Sick Man of East Asia".
Lin Meng felt that it was really intolerable since it had risen to the national level, so she opened a small account to reply to the post.
When your E team dominated the World Invitational last year, why didn't you call yourself the "sick man of East Asia"? SN is your second dad, so if you call it that now, you'll be slapped in the face by both your first and second dads.
After a while, she was punished by the trolls with keyboards.
[There's a Team E fanboy here.]
What is Team E? I've never heard of it.
[How dare the Color Pen Team from the qualifiers show off here?]
[Are you planning to go to Busan and lose another wave of players in the Asian Invitational?]
[You, God of Mo, don't even hold a gun, yet you dare to mention the matter of getting slapped in the face? ]
How does Silence plan to win? By crushing the opponent? Hehehe.
[You local teams only know how to eat, drink, have fun, and perform variety shows. Are you professional enough? It's nonexistent.]
[To be honest, SN was just a bunch of dwarfs in the Autumn Split. They couldn't even make it to the semifinals of the Korean division.]
[It's well known that your country's professionalization of esports was originally just to follow the trend of Europe, the United States, and South Korea [funny][funny], and just because you happened to win the world championship once, you really think you are an esports superpower.]
[Hey, didn't they just sign a washed-up esports goddess? They're counting on her to lead the team!]
【Guess how many shots the goddess will get when she arrives in Korea? 】
【After taking some photos and browsing the duty-free shops, it’s almost time to come back. 】
[You really expect this internet celebrity, who started out as a proxy player, to bring glory to the country? Stupid or not.]
[Putting your hopes on a woman, you are really doomed. ]
…
"Fuck." Lin Meng cursed in a low voice: "This Korean licker is BISS tonight."
She closed her Weibo account and then saw that Ye Feng had sent her a message.
[I heard SOS has also signed up for the Asian Invitational. Their strategy is quite unconventional. I don't know what method they're using, but they know the locations of traps on the map like the back of their hand. You must be extremely cautious.] Ye Feng said: [Good luck in the Asian Invitational.]
Afterwards, she received news from some friends one after another.
These include Winter's Peace and Labyrinth, Doctor Far Away, Xu Dandan and Guo Bo.
[Good luck at the Asian Invitational! LEMON, we all admit you're truly strong! You and Mo Shen are a formidable combination!]
We'll watch the game! Even behind C's back! Gang also said he'll watch!
[We POP have already qualified for the European region. Remember to beat up that pure-blooded kimchi guy. See you at the World Championship! Don't let me miss you!]
[Boss Meng, don't be nervous! You're the best! ! If you play your best, you can beat them all! I'll be waiting for you to come back and eat lobster!]
[Senior, go for it! Senior, go for it! Take my little A-Lu to the World Invitational Tournament!]
Lin Meng was somewhat surprised to find that in this Asian Invitational Tournament, as many people were slandering and criticizing them as there were people who had hope for them.
It attracted more attention than she expected.
She suddenly found that the world was quite wonderful. Two years ago, she suffered the biggest setback in her life at the Asian Invitational Tournament and missed Yu Mo and parted ways with him. Two years later, God gave her another chance and allowed her to embark on the journey of the Asian Invitational Tournament again, shoulder to shoulder with Yu Mo.
Her heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look sideways at the man beside her.
The always energetic Mo Shen was finally tired at this time and was resting against the window with headphones on.
The sun sets and night falls. It is dark outside and the lights in the car are not turned on yet.
Lin Meng heard Panda discussing tactics in a low voice with Lao Mai in the back, and A Lu was studying the previous game video with Zhong Xiang's IPAD.
Everyone is working hard for the competition the day after tomorrow.
What if we win? What if we lose? We all share this glorious mission.
Then there is nothing to be afraid of.
Murphy's Law states that if something can go wrong, no matter how small the possibility, it will.
Due to the large number of participating teams, the Asian Invitational is divided into two groups for the group stage, and the top eight teams from each group will advance.
Before the bell rang and the draw began, I prayed desperately that I wouldn't be drawn into the same group as SOS, so that the probability of being eliminated in the first round would at least be smaller.
But once Murphy's Law takes effect, no one can stop it. After drawing the lot, the SOS manager smiled and took the number plate to find Zhong Xiang to discuss life. Zhong Xiang looked at the 13 in his hand with despair, then looked at the 14 in the SOS manager's hand, and cursed God in his heart for being blind.
I don't know if it was intentional on the part of the organizer to arrange the group match between SOS and Team E at the end of the order. After a round of tense matches, Team E's points were closely following SOS.
The amazing thing is that SOS won every game very easily, and the battle was basically resolved in twenty minutes. BO5s rarely lasted a full time. Compared with their smooth flow, Team E seemed very anxious. Although their winning rate was still considerable, they were basically in a state of fierce battles. Several times, the game lasted nearly an hour, and the whole team was sweating after the game.
The group stage schedule is more than halfway through, and looking at the points, because Lin Meng had menstrual pain that day, she took ibuprofen but was still not in good shape, and lost the game against the Lions team. Their total points are barely stuck between eighth and ninth place.
Lin Meng was carried down by Yu Mo that day. After returning to the hotel, she slumped at the head of the bed with a hot water bottle in her arms, and her complexion looked extremely bad.
Yu Mo frowned and said that she must have a good rest, then led everyone out of Lin Meng's room.
Lin Meng curled up in the quilt, gasping for breath, but couldn't help but take out her phone and check Weibo.
She watched as countless keyboard warriors on Weibo threw away logic and objective facts, and did their best to ridicule them, mocking them for always stepping on landmines, mocking them for not being able to quickly finish off the enemy and resolve the battle, and mocking Team E for signing a woman who was born with a physical disadvantage to play in the game.
She turned over and looked at the ceiling wearily.
Tomorrow is the game against SOS.
If they win, their points will be enough to qualify; if they lose, they will have to return home in disgrace and be bombarded by trolls.
But who is to blame?
A Lu, Lao Mai and Panda, they dealt as much damage as possible in the safe area opened up by Yu Mo, and did not make any significant mistakes. Although she was not in good shape today, she had harvested all the heads she could in the previous game.
Not to mention Yu Mo. If he hadn't been assisting and always able to restore their health in time, they would not have been able to win those games.
Yu Mo's hands must have been under considerable pressure.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.
It's so strange. There are traps all over the ground, but why can SOS detect them all so thoroughly, while they can only be tied up and forced to hide here and there?
She turned over again, racking her brains.
Is it possible...is it possible that this kind of fierce battle is the normal state of BOD under the new competition system? Although it is difficult, it is also undeniably exciting.
She was stunned for a moment, then thought back.
In fact, if they hadn't lost several games in a row to the Lions today, their points would have remained in the top three, which is also a reflection of the true level of their Team E.
All the teams were fighting hard and their performances were normal, except for SOS, which was abnormally relaxed.
But how does SOS achieve supremacy over humans?
A strange thought flashed through Lin Meng's mind.
She shook her head, thinking that she might be confused because of the pain.
There was no point in thinking about these things, so she bit her lip and pressed the hot water bottle firmly against her lower abdomen.
Perhaps the real purpose of SOS registering for the Asian Invitational Tournament is to deprive Team E of the qualification to participate in the World Invitational Tournament.
After all, without Team E, what else can threaten them in the World Invitational?
Lin Meng's heart sank.
"No matter what unavoidable factors may arise, we must win tomorrow's game." She murmured to herself, "Lin Xiaomeng, you must win."
Have a conspiracy.
I was really paralyzed after a day of outpatient clinic. This is the limit of the number of words I can write. I’m going to sleep now.
