After two weeks of preparation, Team 304 officially participated in the National College Cup.
The universities in Shanghai participate in the regional league, which is held within the city. The champion and runner-up advance to the regional competition.
After the regional competition, there is the national finals.
The Magic City Regional League only lasts for one weekend, and the competition is intense. A participating team must participate in no less than three games a day.
After one weekend, Team 304 successfully qualified as the champion and advanced to the regional competition.
Without the beautiful reporter Shen Qiu forcing the scene, Zhong Yu, the coach and substitute, was very low-key and inconspicuous, and was almost ignored.
Zhong Yu didn't care, he preferred to let his roommates take the limelight.
In the regional competition, Team 304 once again qualified and advanced to the national finals.
Entering the national finals, every team is very strong, and Team 304 is beginning to meet its opponents.
In particular, the disadvantages of the uneven level of members of the 304 team were exposed.
Luo Zhongkai is the weakest, with a strength of only about 30 stars for the solo ranking king, followed by Zhao Lei, with 35 stars for the solo ranking king, and then Zhu Jianming, about 40 stars for the solo ranking king.
The enemy teams keenly seized on the 304 team's major weaknesses and often captured Luo Zhongkai and Zhao Lei.
Team 304's big flaw made Zhong Yu choke.
Before each game, he has to watch and study a lot of videos of the opponent's games, and then formulate a hero lineup for the 304 team based on the opponent's characteristics, and formulate special tactics. He must not only restrain the opponent, but also use strengths and avoid weaknesses to reduce the opponent's chances of targeting Luo Zhongkai and Zhao Lei. .
Fortunately, Zhang Sen and Lu Jianye did not disappoint him. They have grown up.
In every game, Zhang Sen can basically stabilize the overall situation and control the trend, so that Luo Zhongkai and Zhao Lei will not collapse after being caught repeatedly.
Lu Jianye, on the other hand, has become an extremely sharp dagger that can always stab into the heart of the enemy. If the opponent is not careful, the back row may be cut off, the defense tower may be stolen, or even the crystal may be stolen.
After stumbling along the way, Team 304 miraculously advanced to the finals without being favored by everyone!
Lu Jianye and Zhang Sen have become popular and have begun to have fans across the country.
The five thousand-person fan groups managed by Wang Weis and Yang Huilin were almost full. Most of the people in the groups talked about Lu Jianye and Zhang Sen, and some fans even attacked Luo Zhongkai and Zhao Lei for holding them back.
Everyone is not blind. We can see that Zhang Sen and Lu Jianye almost dragged Team 304 into the finals.
As for Zhong Yu, he was almost ignored.
In the e-sports circle, coaches are often an overlooked role.
As everyone knows, in Team 304, the coach is the real boss.
On the night of entering the finals, Team 304 and Team Qingwu had a barbecue together to celebrate.
At the barbecue stall, the beauties of the Qingwu team kept laughing and laughing. In their view, the 304 team entering the finals of the National College Cup was a very, very remarkable achievement, enough for them to look up to.
No, even the proud school belle Wang Weis looked at Lu Jianye with tenderness.
Now in the 304 team fan group, fans call her sister-in-law, and she responds.
However, Zhang Sen, Lu Jianye and others kept smiling on the surface, but in fact they were depressed and heavy inside.
Their goal is to win the championship, and finishing second would be a failure.
They knew very well that the potential of the 304 team was almost exhausted. The Adam team that competed with them in the finals was so strong that they had almost no confidence.
At around eleven o'clock in the night, after the barbecue was finished, Team 304 and Team Qingwu returned to school together.
On the way, Lu Jianye and Wang Weisi held hands, and Wang Weisi took the initiative.
It's just that Lu Jianye feels a little uncomfortable. After he wins the championship, he will use the Champions Cup to formally express his love to Wang Wei.
However, on the surface, they are only one step away from the championship. In fact, Team 304 is still far away.
Also, he has to stand in front of the media as a champion to speak for his idol Yin Shen.
Back in the dormitory, only Zhong Yu entered the living area to wash his face with a towel and go to the bathroom. The others were sitting on chairs or on the edge of the bed, silent and not talking.
"I'm sorry, it was me who held everyone back." Luo Zhongkai spoke first, looking ashamed.
Zhao Lei and Zhu Jianming also apologized to Zhang Sen and Lu Jianye.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is holding someone back?!" Zhang Sen cursed angrily, "When you talk like this, do I have to kneel down?"
Lu Jianye said: "The game hasn't started yet, it's too early to say anything. Ask Brother Zhong later, he will definitely have a way."
When Zhong Yu was mentioned, hope immediately rose on everyone's faces.
Indeed, if it weren't for Zhong Yu, they couldn't even win the campus championship of Shanghai University. How could they have entered the long-awaited finals of the National College Cup today?
They all agreed that Brother Zhong would be able to create miracles.
Not long after, Zhong Yu walked out of the dormitory living area and saw everyone looking at him.
"What's wrong?" he couldn't help but ask.
Lu Jianye asked first: "Brother Zhong, what should we do in the finals?"
"What can we do? Let's fight." Zhong Yu said easily and calmly.
Zhang Sen said: "Adam's team is very strong, we are afraid..."
Before Zhang Sen could finish speaking, Zhong Yu interrupted: "Have we ever played against Team Adam? No. Since we haven't fought, how can we know who is stronger? Even if we have fought, who knows who will be stronger next time? No. Never give up until the last moment!”
"Brother Zhong taught you a lesson." Zhang Sen, Lu Jianye and others all lowered their heads.
Zhong Yu said: "The championship is ours, that's what I said."
Hearing this, Zhang Sen, Lu Jianye and others raised their heads, their eyes rekindled with burning fighting spirit.
"Brother Zhong, let's work hard and train all night tonight!" they shouted excitedly.
Zhong Yu curled his lips and said, "I'll be sleepy if you stay up all night! Give me a bath. If anyone wakes me up after twelve o'clock, I'll kill him!"
"Ah!" Everyone couldn't help shouting. It was like a basin of cold water was poured over them, which dampened the fighting spirit they had finally aroused and almost caused internal injuries.
…
The week of preparations passed quickly, and the finals of the King of Glory National College Cup, which countless people had been waiting for, finally arrived.
Since Team 304 comes from Shanghai University, almost everyone on the campus of Shanghai University knows it. Except for some people who bought tickets to watch and support the team, many people stayed in front of their computers to watch the live broadcast.
Team Qingwu, as a group of relatives and friends of Team 304, also arrived at the scene to watch and support.
However, something disappointing came.
For three consecutive games, Team 304 was beaten by Team Adam, with almost no power to fight back.
After losing three games in a row, he was about to lose four games in a row!
The strength of Adam's team has exceeded a critical point, and Zhong Yu's efforts behind the scenes have been of no avail.
After losing the third game, Luo Zhongkai, Zhao Lei and Zhu Jianming lowered their heads with frustrated faces. They did not dare to look at Zhong Yu, Zhang Sen and Lu Jianye. Their eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame.
Zhang Sen and Lu Jianye didn't look too good either. They kept their spirits up, their eyes revealed that they were unwilling and unconvinced, and they still longed to win the championship.
"Don't be discouraged, we still have a chance." Zhong Yu smiled, "We haven't lost yet."
Lu Jianye immediately echoed and encouraged his teammates: "Brother Zhong is right, we haven't lost yet, and we will never give up until the last moment!!!"
"Never give up!" Zhang Sen also shouted.
Luo Zhongkai, Zhao Lei and Zhu Jianming raised their heads with bitterness on their faces. They didn't want to give up, but they really couldn't beat them.
Zhong Yu said: "You all played well, Kai Ye, Lao Wu and Lao Liu. I think you played very well today."
Luo Zhongkai, Zhao Lei and Zhu Jianming couldn't help but look at Zhong Yu in surprise: "I, we..."
"I'm not comforting you." Zhong Yu said with a smile, "In the next four games, you will keep up the good work."
Under their surprised looks, Zhong Yu patted Zhang Sen on the shoulder: "Third brother, you can rest now. I will replace you."
"Zhong, Brother Zhong, are you going to play the game in person?" Not only Zhang Sen was surprised, but all the roommates were also shocked.
Everyone's eyes widened, thinking that they heard wrongly.
They had never seen Zhong Yu playing Honor of Kings, and there was even no Honor of Kings on Zhong Yu’s phone.
From the time he first formed a team to participate in the Shanghai University Campus Cup, Zhong Yu never participated in any battles, including daily training.
Zhong Yu nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am a substitute after all. You have to give me a chance to show my face."
"No, Brother Zhong, that's not what we meant." Zhang Sen, Lu Jianye and others quickly explained.
Zhong Yu laughed.
"Brother Zhong, please take my place. I am the worst." Luo Zhongkai said.
Zhong Yu shook his head and smiled: "No, I think you played very well and I can't replace you."
As he said that, he turned his eyes to Zhao Lei and Zhu Jianming: "You guys too."
"Third brother, do you have any objection if I replace you?" he asked Zhang Sendao.
Zhang Sen said: "No. I did not play well in the three games just now. I am the captain and I failed to give full play to the team's strength."
"Well, you really need to improve." Zhong Yu nodded. He had high expectations for Zhang Sen, and of course his requirements were also high.
He had to replace Zhang Sen, otherwise after he personally left the field, the team would only have two captains, which would cause chaos in command.
After a short break, the fourth game was finally about to begin, and Zhong Yu replaced Zhang Sen on the combat seat.
After three years, under countless gazes, he finally took action for the first time.
