"Can't sleep? Thinking about tomorrow's game?" Pei Yan asked directly.
Qiao Ran had no intention of hiding this from Pei Yan; there was nothing to hide. "Well, I want to get familiar with some of their operating habits."
Qiao Ran is the kind of person who becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent. The stronger the opponent, the more it can inspire her fighting spirit.
"Tomorrow's a BO7. You're staying up all night sharpening your skills. Are you sure you'll have the energy to stab someone to death tomorrow?" Pei Yan handed Qiao Ran the still-steaming milk. "After you finish this segment, drink the milk. You must go to bed before 2:30."
Pei Yan did not force Qiao Ran to go to bed immediately, but gave her a relatively loose range.
Qiao Ran took the milk and whispered, "Thank you, Captain."
After Pei Yan left, Qiao Ran closed the door, leaned against it, looked at the hot milk in the cup, and took a sip.
It was clearly pure milk without any taste, but Qiao Ran could taste a sweetness in it.
——
On the day of the qualifying match, they happened to meet WD people backstage.
"Master Pei, please show mercy today!" Ah Yan saw them first, waved her hand and said jokingly.
Pei Yan smiled back, "There are no fathers or sons on the battlefield."
"Damn it! Master Pei, you're taking advantage of me!" Ah Yan reacted and realized that Pei Yan was finding ways to say that he was his son.
WD's captain, Koko, patted Ah Yan's restless head and said, "You little brat can't calm down, making everyone laugh. I'm really looking forward to today's match."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Pei Yan responded politely.
In fact, everyone else could hear that the two captains had been competing with each other since then.
......
The game started and players from both teams entered the field in an orderly manner.
Today's commentators are still A Guang and Ye Zi.
"Hello everyone, I am still your old friend A Guang!"
"I am a leaf!"
"Today, Ye Zi and I will be providing commentary on the card match between NSD and WD."
"These two teams are considered to be emerging teams of the same period. I heard that they have a good personal relationship. I wonder what kind of exciting encounters these old friends will bring us when they gather in the canyon today."
"Compared to this, I am more concerned about what kind of surprises NSD's new support will bring us today." The commentator Ye Zi is also a girl, and it took a lot of effort for her to embark on this path, and Qiao Ran's path will only be more difficult.
Therefore, she had a special admiration for Qiao Ran: "Qiao Ran's performance so far this season can be said to be very eye-catching, which has slapped the faces of those netizens who were not optimistic about her before."
"Who says it's not true? But our WD support player Ah Hui is no pushover either. He's won MVP many times in previous competitions and is ranked high on the national server leaderboard for many support heroes. Qiao Ran will probably have a hard time against him today."
......
The commentary was still warming up the audience, and the contestants had already taken their seats.
When Qiao Ran was checking the equipment, she glanced at the stands and seemed to see someone holding her banner.
"No way..." she whispered to herself.
She has fans so quickly?
"What don't you know?" Pei Yan, who was standing next to him, happened to hear it and thought there was something wrong with Qiao Ran's equipment.
"No, it's okay. My eyes just blurred for a moment, but I'm fine now."
......
After the interlude, the competition officially began.
In the first game, just as they expected yesterday, WD played some tanky heroes.
Sun Ce on the top lane, Chang'e in the middle lane, Pangu in the jungle, Lian Po as support, and Yu Ji as the archer.
Compared with WD's lineup, NSD's seems much more casual.
Mozi, Gan Jiang Moye, Nakroth, Lu Bu and Baili Shouyi.
......
Ye Zi: "Now that both teams have selected their heroes, we can see that NSD's choices are quite interesting. They chose some heroes with long range. It seems that they want to play a more conservative game this time."
A Guang: "At first I thought Mozi would play support, and Lü Bu would go top, but I didn't expect Qiao Ran to want to use Lü Bu as support. Is that okay?"
All the spectators watching the game had the same question as A Guang.
The comments on the live broadcast of the event naturally started to increase because of this choice.
[No way, no way? Lu Bu assists? What's going on?]
Is NSD planning to let loose this season? Just play whatever they want!
[The coach doesn't care? Pick heroes blindly?]
[I recently watched Qiao Ran’s previous live broadcast, it’s her style]
【I won’t say anything, just wait for a miracle! 】
......
There can be no miracles.
NSD didn't have the mentality to win this round, their main purpose was to wear down the opponent's mentality.
It would be great to win, but not winning will not affect your mentality in the future.
Logically speaking, this game should be over in about 20 minutes, or at most half an hour.
As a result, NSD's response was delayed for 45 minutes.
Ye Xiaofan, Sun Kai, and Zhao Jie relied on the long arms of their chosen heroes and played in a rather despicable manner, mainly focusing on defense.
Qiao Ran protected Pei Yan, Qingye and Kailong.
Although they were at a disadvantage, the results were not too different.
Qiao Ran even got two double kills.
"I can't stand it anymore, why isn't it over yet? I'm about to have a heart attack!"
On the WD side, Ayan's face showed impatience. He controlled Chang'e in the game and pushed the high ground on the NSD side together with his own shooter and support.
In order to end the game quickly, he and Ah Hui even took turns defending the tower physically, allowing the shooter to destroy the tower.
NSD's middle lane high ground was finally taken away.
Zhao Jie had just resurrected from the fountain and used a skill to freeze A Yan in place.
Qiao Ran reacted quickly and hit A Yan twice.
In the end, Ayan watched his own assistant protect the shooter and run away, and his own life was in Pei Yan's hands.
"Hey...what's wrong with them? They've attacked us so many times, but they still haven't pushed our crystal. I'm getting sleepy."
As he spoke, Zhao Jie yawned.
"If what you said is edited and released by the official, do you think WD will think you are mocking them?" Pei Yan was clearing the line of troops.
"We might also be criticized by the audience for playing passively," said Ye Xiaofan.
It has been dragging on for so long that it has become a bit difficult to clear out the soldiers.
Zhao Jie chuckled twice and quickly said, "I beg the officials to spare my life. Please don't edit out this content that is detrimental to the harmony between the two teams, so as not to pollute the audience's ears."
Sun Kai also felt a little tired: "Aren't we also playing with all our strength? If we let it go, it would have ended long ago."
Ye Xiaofan sighed: "It's a pity to say that. If they had resurrected a few seconds later, we might have been able to reverse the situation."
Qiao Ran didn't say anything, but his hands were constantly operating, and he quietly led the line to the top lane.
…
[It's just a card game, why is it so exciting? ]
[It's been almost an hour, this is crazy! ]
[Both sides have lost their high ground now, and I can't predict who will win.]
Does Lü Bu really think he's a general? He's leading the team so deeply by himself?
[The Canyon is about to stage a battle between five heroes and Lu Bu! 】
…
The barrage guessed correctly on this point. It was impossible for Qiao Ran, such a big man as Lu Bu, to lead the line without attracting the enemy's attention.
The enemy's other two lanes are still relatively healthy, so naturally all five of them will come together to clear the lines and capture Lu Bu.
Qiao Ran seemed to have anticipated their coming. Before they got close, he used his ultimate move, jumped a distance away, and successfully escaped.
…
[Hilarious! Lü Bu uses his ultimate to escape, leaving five enemies empty-handed!]
I doubt I'm watching a legitimate match.
[Pei Shen is going to lead the route, hahahaha, is WD going to be busy on both ends? ]
[Why do I feel like NSD has a chance of winning? ]
…
WD might have been dragged into a rage, and in the next team fight, they fought extremely fiercely. Except for Pei Yan who escaped with low health, no one else on the NSD side was spared.
Two fists are no match for four hands. Pei Yan went home to replenish his health and status. Facing the enemy and a wave of soldiers, he only took down three with his extreme skills and finally died gloriously.
The first game finally came to an end.
......
Everyone in WD put down their phones and leaned back in their chairs. They all felt hopeless and didn't show any joy of victory.
"It's finally over, oh my god..." Ah Yan felt her hands were a little sore, "I almost want to vomit..."
"Can you please not play the late game in the next round? If every round is like this, who can stand it?" Ah Hui also said.
Their captain Coco shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he did not have absolute authority over the lineup and had to discuss it with the coach.
WD's coach didn't expect that the first game would be so difficult. Fortunately, they won in the end, otherwise they would have suffered a great loss!
——
Soon, the second game began.
In the second game, WD obviously didn't want to drag it out that long, so they chose heroes that were more suitable for the early game.
But NSD didn't seem to want to let them get what they wanted, so they picked a tanky hero in the late game.
There is a difference in mentality between fighting a protracted war with the intention of winning and fighting a protracted war regardless of whether you win or lose.
After the lineup was decided, Ah Yan was speechless. "What the hell! What are Pei Shen and the others trying to do? A round lasts over half an hour. Don't they feel tired?"
WD's captain, Koko, seemed to have guessed NSD's intentions: "They're trying to drag us down..."
Ah Hui said from the side: "No way, they must be tired after fighting for so long. Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of their own?"
"Just wait and see..." Koko had a bad feeling.
…
Although the second game was not as long as the first, the back-and-forth between the two sides dragged on for nearly forty minutes.
After the game ended, Ah Yan leaned back in his chair and shook his head repeatedly: "If this is a tactic, then NSD is too ruthless! I was thinking of our brother team and introduced them to the support..."
"The assistant you introduced is useless, isn't he?" Ah Hui said with a smile.
Koko glanced in the direction of the NSD across from him and said, "It shouldn't happen later. Cheer up and stop howling."
The situation on NSD's side is only slightly better than WD's.
After all, they were playing with all their might, and after two long games in a row, even if their hearts weren't tired, their hands and brains were tired.
"Wow, the game is over today, I have to have a good meal no matter what!" Zhao Jie can only comfort himself by imagining delicious food.
"If you want to eat and drink as much as you can, just say so. Don't put the blame on the competition." Sun Kai exposed him mercilessly.
Pei Yan glanced at Zhao Jie and added insult to injury: "You can only eat if you win the competition."
Ye Xiaofan followed with a smile: "Even if we lose, we still have something to learn from the captain and coach!"
"Hey! Brat, you've also become a bad boy now, and you're here to tease your brother Zhao?"
Qiao Ran looked at them without joining in the conversation. He unscrewed the bottle of mineral water on the side, tilted his head back and took a few sips. All he was thinking about was which hero to use in the next game.
The author has something to say:
The competition is too difficult to write, especially for a newbie like me. My dears, please don't try the routines in the article. Everything is fictional. If you are reported, the author will be irresponsible.
