At the end of the first week of games, the CR players breathed a sigh of relief. Even though they played very unrestrainedly on the court, it can be said that they completely suppressed their opponents in every game. After 6 games, even the Highland Tower None of them fell off, but the pressure on them was still very high.
Chiba is under the greatest pressure. If Chow Mian is away, he has to step in. Although Chow Mian will guide them online every day, the huge pressure of public opinion is still a bit suffocating for him.
He couldn't imagine how bad the public opinion environment would become once CR lost in the group stage. Not only public opinion, losing to the wild card would be too demoralizing, and the team would fall into self-doubt.
This has happened countless times. It is obviously very strong, but because of its caution, it is suddenly fooled by the opponent. The wild card often plays very unrestrainedly, and even occasionally comes up with some weird things.
Once they really lose to the wild card, the morale within the team will completely collapse, and the atmosphere will become very solemn. This has happened before, but it is usually in the S game. After losing to the wild card, there will be no immediate change. They will play and then be eliminated in the group stage.
If that is the case, then CR, which has just started to improve, will directly face another disbandment and reorganization. Maybe Li Shuyao will retire directly.
Fortunately, none of this happened.
Looking at the several players who gathered together to happily celebrate their 6th consecutive victory, Qianye and Yan Renjin looked at each other and were both very happy. At least the first step was a safe one.
And after it was confirmed that he could qualify first in the group, Xiao Hui was allowed to play for a while in the last round of the group stage. After one game, although he was not as powerful as Li Shuyao, the effect was still very good, and he also suppressed The opponent's top order.
Chiba is already considering sending Xiao Hui to play if the promotion spot is locked in advance in the competition. It doesn't matter whether he is ranked first or second in the competition. Anyway, qualifying first is just a qualification to choose his opponent.
If the goal is the championship, no matter who it is, it must be defeated.
So it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to train the young players.
Before setting off, Chow Mian had communicated with him that if there was a chance, he would let Xiao Hui play for a while.
If nothing else happens, Xiao Hui will be CR's main top laner next year. It would be a good thing to experience more training in the world competition... It doesn't matter if he loses.
In the knockout round, he won't be able to play anyway. After all, there is no room for error in the knockout round. If you lose, you will go home.
"It seems that everyone has adapted well to the environment here, but there are a little few vegetables. I have to find a way to get more vegetables. Meat and seafood alone are not enough, and we can't always use barbecue as a cooking method." Yan Renjin pointed out He nodded and became concerned about the dietary balance of the team members.
It is wrong to always eat meat. Just drinking some tea is not enough. You still need to eat more vegetables and fruits.
"Yeah, I'm a little tired of eating so much meat and seafood... Haha, will I get beaten if I say that?" Chiba also laughed.
After a brief breath of relief, Chiba also decided to relax a bit today. It is not good to be too tight. Proper relaxation will help make a better start.
"Well, we say no, because we are a little tired of eating." Shi Qiulian said with a smile: "Every place has its own characteristics. When we come here, we have something fresh to eat at the beginning, but after eating for a long time, it becomes a little bit That’s enough, the food at home is still delicious.”
"But...why doesn't it seem like Yaoyao doesn't feel tired at all?" Yan Renjin looked at the six CR people over there and scratched his head in confusion.
Everyone else is basically eating Chinese food now. Although there is some meat and seafood, it will also be paired with some vegetables, and some fruits will be eaten after the meal.
Although eating meat is great, I can't stand it all the time. Of course, some people are born to only eat meat, except for these people.
However, Li Shuyao is obviously not one of these people. She is the kind of person who eats everything...
There are not that many things in front of her now. The quantity is much less than when she came on the first day, but it is still mainly meat and seafood.
This person's stomach seems to be made of iron. Not to mention the fact that he doesn't gain weight no matter how much he eats, this person doesn't feel bad about anything he eats. He can eat hot, cold, sour, sweet, whatever he wants...
"Yao Yao is always different." Shi Qiulian looked at Li Shuyao with a smile: "She is really a magical person..."
"If you think about it carefully, her experience is really amazing." Chiba said with a smile: "It's hard to imagine that she is only 19 years old..."
"Yeah..." Several other people nodded.
Speaking of which, they have seen many young people become famous. After all, professional e-sports players are very young, but they have never seen someone like Li Shuyao.
I have seen people who are richer than her, but this is the first time I have seen someone as...well, as versatile and even a little strange as she is.
She seems to know everything and does everything well.
For people of her age, if someone does one thing well, the whole family will be proud of it, but she does everything very well.
"I'm really lucky to meet such a person. I'm really curious about how far she can go in the end." Shen Zongyue, who had been silent for the whole time, laughed and said, "I heard that the judges of the Golden Melody Awards are now in order to give the final award. Which song of hers won the award already?"
"What do you mean? Do you still have this gossip?" Qianye asked curiously.
"This is not a piece of gossip, many people know it." Shen Zongyue shrugged and said: "Nowadays, Li Shuyao's songs dominate the charts on many music platforms. It is said that there were many nominations, and there should be no more than two songs that won the award in the end. A double yolk egg is already awesome, but three would be a bit scary.”
"Then she can't go either." Chiba said.
"Well, I probably can't go, that's why Lu Yao didn't come. Someone has to help her receive the award." Shen Zongyue smiled, then turned to look at Qianye and said: "How are the preparations for the competition? We are We will meet DF in the first game."
"Don't worry." Chiba smiled confidently: "We are still very confident. I have carefully studied DF's group stage matches. Although they also won all the games and advanced, I have confidence in them."
"Okay." Shen Zongyue nodded: "We said privately that as long as we can enter the finals, we will be able to deal with it. But with the players, we must not just set the goal of entering the finals. Our goal is to win the championship."
"Don't worry... I don't need to tell you..." Chiba stood up as he looked at the people over there holding up drinks and cheering: "I guess they are not just here to cheer."
"oh……"
——
"Come on, brothers!" Tantai Jingyi held up the juice in her hand and laughed loudly: "We are happy to win, but this is only the first step of our MSI. Next, there will be competitions, knockout matches, and group matches. Winning all the games is nothing, this is what we decided to achieve before, now, we have to go all the way to the finals and lift that trophy!"
"That's right! Our goal is to become a...champion!"
"champion!"
"champion!"
Several people held up juices and sodas, laughed and clinked glasses, and then pretended to drink tons and tons of them...
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Shuyao watched the four young men drinking soda drinks, then rolled their eyes one by one, laughed and patted the sofa...
"Pfft..." Xiao Hui couldn't help but spurt out.
Li Shuyao: "..."
So this is the legendary saying that extreme joy leads to sorrow...
