Chapter 76
R.H’s next match will be Tokyo Sakura, the third-ranked team in the Eastern Division, whose strength should not be underestimated. Among China, Japan and South Korea, Japan’s e-sports industry is the worst developed, with only two seats in the league. A lot of otaku in Japan like to play games, but they don’t like to play competitive games very much. This leads to their lack of reserves of e-sports talents, and they have to introduce a large number of foreign players from South Korea.
Tokyo Sakura is also known as the Tokyo Sakura team by fans. It currently has a mixed team. Among the four starters, there are three Korean foreign players and one Japanese brother. The coaching team is also Korean, so that the only Japanese brother has to be in the Tokyo team. Communicate with others in Korean.
In order to prepare for the Sakura team, Lu Youshan increased his daily training time by one hour. This hour was dedicated to studying the tactical tendencies of the Sakura team coaches and the playing habits of the players.
Lu Youshan led the crowd to replay the game between the Beijing IPL and the Sakura team. The IPL is also a strong team. The two teams fought back and forth and contributed a wonderful game. In the end, the Sakura team defeated the IPL with a score of 3:2.
“The strategy of the IPL is obvious,” Lu Youshan said, “They are targeting Xun.”
Kaoru is the only Japanese player in the Sakura team. He plays the short spear assassin position in the team, and is called “the genius of generations” by Japanese players. I have to say that Japanese players have always been good at taking titles. Yu Zhaohan only got the title of “Sniper King” after working so hard. Everyone is a “genius”, and he has a passionate comic style when he goes on stage.
Xun only joined the Sakura team this season, and the time to learn Korean is too short. Simple reporting of position and fire may be no problem for him, but if it involves more complicated on-the-spot command, no matter how good he is in Korean, he still needs a response time.
The impact of language communication problems on a team can be large or small. The more you play against a strong team, the greater the impact. IPL knows this, so it has been targeting Xun.
“Mixed classes are so boring,” Cheese sighed. “If it’s a team like Lawman’s that mixes well and the players must speak English, it’s fine, but the Sakura team is all Korean except Xiaoxun and the management team. Xun is usually so lonely at the base.”
Shitou asked curiously: “Why doesn’t the Sakura team just have an all-Korean squad? This way there will be no communication problems.”
“Japanese players definitely don’t want to see a situation where Tokyo’s team is all Koreans.” Shi Du said, “Under the pressure of public opinion, let alone Xun’s real strength, even if there is a more suitable short gun, the management will Keep Xun in the team, even if it’s just as a mascot.”
“Oh, oh,” Shitou understood, “Then shall we go against Xun in the next match like the IPL?”
Yu Zhaohan said: “The IPL against Xun did not win. Xun has been targeted a lot. He has learned to play his best value without the support of his teammates. Blindly targeting him may only restrain our own strength.” Play, which is probably what Sakura’s coach wants us to do.”
Lu Youshan couldn’t wait to say: “I think the same as Shine. The problem is, if we don’t target Xun, Xun will play more comfortably.”
Qi Xian followed the thoughts of the captain and the coach: “It’s not a good thing to make a team’s C position too comfortable.”
This is the first time that R.H is preparing for a strong team after Shi Shi was mentioned in the first team. It is not so much a tactical arrangement as a psychological game, and he also gained a lot of insight: “Then how should we fight? ”
“We will fight a 4V4 frontal team battle with Sakura, not targeting Xun, nor giving him a chance to solo.” Lu Youshan expressed his thoughts, and immediately sought Shine’s approval, “You must think the same way, Right?”
Yu Zhaohan was silent in thought.
The frontal team battle of 4V4 requires tanks to start the team, and the importance of tanks to the battle situation even exceeds that of double C.
Lu Youshan felt uncertain if he could not get Shine’s affirmation, and asked, “Shine, what do you think?”
Shi Du glanced at Qi Xian, and said lazily: “It’s just the Sakura team, so we don’t need to use specialized tactics. Let’s take the lineup that has played the most games and has the highest winning percentage. Will we still lose?”
R.H’s signature style of play is to fly with double Cs, and Tanfu’s mission is to create an output environment for double Cs.
Shi Du’s words were just jumping on Lu Youshanlei’s point. “Arrogant soldiers must be defeated, do you know that!” Lu Youshan sternly said, “Every game must find the optimal solution that can securely win. Timeless, with your attitude, someday you will cry if you lose to the bottom team!”
Shi Du “tsk”: “What kind of wronged are you, your EQ is really low.”
Lu Youshan slapped the table angrily: “You—”
Cheese couldn’t figure out the situation: “Hey, hey, why is this so noisy?”
“Okay, okay, don’t get excited.” Qi Xian smoothed things out with a smile, “No matter how powerful Xun is, he is still ranked behind Timeless, our younger brother has the capital to be proud of.”
“Enough.” As soon as Yu Zhaohan opened his mouth, everyone shut up, “That’s all for today, hard work.”
After the replay ended, Qi Xian went back to his room to rest, and the others took the initiative to stay for extra practice. Seeing that Qi Xian had left so early, Zhizhi complained to Shi Du: “Isn’t Xianxian falling in love again? I went back so early just to video with my girlfriend?”
Shi Du lost interest: “You are the one who shares a room with Brother Xian, you should know better than me.”
Cheese scratched his head: “I feel that Xian Xian is weird recently. Is there something he is hiding from me?”
Shi Du smiled and said, “Then you have to ask him yourself.”
Cheese approached Shi Du, and said in a low voice, “Let me tell you, I have woken up twice in the middle of the night to find that there was no one on Xian Xian’s bed. I just stayed awake and waited for him, and he didn’t come back until almost an hour later. I asked Where did he go, he said he can sleepwalk. Huh, he is lying to dogs. Brother, tell me, what kind of bad things does he need to do for an hour?”
Shi Du and Yu Zhaohan looked at each other tacitly. Yu Zhaohan said coolly, “Xu Lanzhi.”
Cheese shuddered: “Here!”
“Are you here for training, or for gossiping? If you don’t want to practice, go back to sleep and don’t disturb other teammates.”
Cheese shrank his neck and practiced his gun honestly. He practiced for an extra hour, and his eyes couldn’t take it anymore before he said, “Shitou, do you want to go upstairs and sleep?”
Shi Shi just finished a round, “Okay.”
Jiang Di stood up immediately: “I’m with you.”
The three of them went upstairs together. Cheese and Shitou walked in front shoulder to shoulder, and suddenly heard a voice behind them: “What do you think of Timeless?”
Both Cheese and Stone were taken aback. It was very rare for Jiang Di to speak to them on his own initiative, but he still wanted to talk about another teammate.
“Xiao Jiang,” Cheese tentatively asked, “Are you sleepwalking?”
Jiang Di: “No.”
Cheese didn’t know why, but he still expressed his opinion: “Timeless is very handsome, he looks handsome, and he is also handsome in playing games. Although sometimes his mouth is poisonous, but when his mouth is poisonous, he is also handsome… Fuck, I started jealous.”
Stone added: “He cooks delicious food, too.”
Jiang Di said in a deep voice, “It’s not good enough.”
Cheese’s eyes widened: “Fuck, isn’t that good enough? Just being handsome is enough to kill 99% of people in seconds. How do you let us mere mortals live?!”
Jiang Di: “The person he wants to match is not an ordinary person.”
“Then who—an angel?”
Jiang Di said “hmm”.
“Heavenly, I, Timeless, are still worthy!”
Jiang Di: “The captain is like a fairy.”
Cheese and Stone were taken aback again. When they heard the word “captain”, their mentality instantly changed to the evil mother-in-law mode.
“Oh, that’s really not good enough.” Cheese said pickily, “To be the captain, Timeless’s good looks are enough, but he’s immature, and he doesn’t resonate with the captain spiritually.”
Shi Shi repeatedly said: “Timeless doesn’t even have a driver’s license. If we are really together on a date, the captain will drive. The captain will be exhausted.”
“The main reason is that our captain is too mature and prudent…Let’s put it this way, if Timeless is two years older, I can barely accept it.”
Shi Du sneezed three times in a row in the training room, and wondered, “It’s late at night, who is arranging me.”
Yu Zhaohan said: “Maybe someone is thinking about you.”
Shi Du smiled and said, “I miss you too.”
Yu Zhaohan was a little strange: “Why do you say ‘also’? I’m not thinking about you.”
“Oh well.”
“I’m thinking about Qi Xian.” Yu Zhaohan felt a little distressed, “I have to go to a physical therapist in the middle of the night, he must be in so much pain that I can’t bear it. I, the captain, don’t even know…”
Shi Du comforted: “Brother Xian is not Cheese, he has brains, and of course you wouldn’t know if he deliberately concealed it. Brother Xian is an adult, he has his own things to do, you don’t have to worry too much about it.”
Yu Zhaohan looked at Shi Du and complained, “Shi Du still speaks for him.”
Shi Du smiled: “I just think I can understand him quite well.”
“What do you understand me?” Qi Xian’s smiling voice came from the door, “I knew the captain was still in the training room at this time.”
Yu Zhaohan watched Qi Xian walk into the training room calmly, although he was still in a bad mood.
One of the advantages of the world-weary face with a paralyzed face is that he doesn’t have to adjust his expression when facing a surprise attack, anyway, he always has one expression.
Shi Du greeted Qi Xian in a natural tone: “Haven’t slept yet?”
“I can’t sleep because of the cheese.” Qi Xian sat down in his seat, and asked with a smile: “Captain, can you let me come to C for the game against the Sakura team?”
“Of course.” Yu Zhaohan paused, and resolutely said, “As long as your status is online.”
Qi Xian said with a smile: “I will maintain my form, thank you captain.”
“What do you rely on to stay in shape?” Yu Zhaohan’s voice was slightly cold, “Practice more behind my back?”
Qi Xian’s smile was a little more helpless: “Oh, I was discovered by the captain. But don’t worry, the captain, I will stick to it until the end of the season. If it doesn’t work, I will block it.”
Yu Zhaohan frowned: “What I want is not your one season, but the rest of your career.”
Qi Xian still smiled: “But the captain, I am willing to block the rest of my career in exchange for this season’s championship.”
Shi Du asked bluntly, “Are you going to retire next year?”
“I would like to play for a few more years, but it’s a pity…” Qi Xian slowly covered his mouse with his hand, feeling the familiar and reassuring grip, “This is really my last year, captain, don’t let me go!” Let me regret it.”
Qi Xian left for a long time, but Yu Zhaohan was still sitting there in a daze.
Shi Du squatted down in front of Yu Zhaohan, cupping his face with both hands: “Yuyu? Are you okay?”
Yu Zhaohan rubbed Shi Du’s palm: “Not good. But, I’m used to it. The thing about everyone leaving one by one: Wanfeng, Xu, Wings…” Yu Zhaohan’s voice gradually became softer, “Shine is used to it. gone.”
