Tang Bingyao noticed the gazes of the other high school teams nearby. She tilted her head and looked back, then retracted her gaze.
"They … seem to be looking at us."
Chu Fangnan nodded with a smile. "That's normal. After all, the three teams selected for this year's National High School League are quite amazing. I bet they recognize us too."
Lin Feng waved his fist confidently.
"They must be praying they don't run into us. We're so strong after all!"
Ceng Rui said expressionlessly.
"The match hasn't even started yet. Can you please put away your bragging for a while?"
However, Lin Feng and the others from the Shanghai Telecommunications Association didn't notice that in another direction not far from them, there was another team coldly watching them.
The Tianhe District Stadium, which was chosen as the venue for the National Top 36 Elimination Tournament, had two floors. It was a ring-shaped building that had enough seats for spectators.
On the second floor of the stadium, there was a monitoring room and an office.
The office had already been taken over by the Guangzhou Esports Association, the organizer of the tournament.
At this moment, the team in this office was one of the three representative teams of the Telecommunications Association. It was also the representative team of the Guangzhou Telecommunications Association that would be playing in the home stadium of Guangzhou.
There were five players, a coach, and a Korean translator.
The representative team of the Guangzhou Esports Association had just finished a conversation with a person in charge of the Guangzhou Esports Association branch. At this time, through the office window, they could see the panoramic view of the stadium below with a glance.
… …
The team coach's gaze fell on the registration desk backstage on the first floor of the stadium. He noticed a certain someone who was excitedly waving his fist and talking to his companions beside him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he turned to the team members and said,
"That kid down there should be the mid laner from the Shanghai Telecommunications Association."
"I heard that he's the one who fought Zhejiang University's ace Adisi in the middle lane for five rounds in the East China region's quarterfinals. It ended in a tie."
As soon as he said this, the attention of the Guangzhou Telecommunications Association's representative team couldn't help but be drawn to him.
Looking at the figure of a certain someone from the Shanghai Telecommunications Association, several members of the Guangzhou Telecommunications Association's representative team looked at him with disdain.
"That's him?"
"He defeated Addisi?"
"Really?"
"Tsk, tsk. You don't look like one, no matter how I look at you."
The team coach warned, "Don't underestimate your opponent. They were able to chase down a team like Zhejiang University and almost beat Fudan University. They're definitely not weak."
However, the three local high school students from the Guangzhou Telecommunications Association did not take it seriously. They did not take the warning to heart at all.
On the other hand, Glee, the core trump card of the team, seemed to be even more uninvolved.
As if completely ignoring the coach's words that were relayed by the translator, Glee's long and narrow eyes flashed with a cold and dense light, and the figures of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's team were reflected in his pupils.
Defeat Addisi?
He had also heard of the name of the former professional player from China.
But what did that matter?
China's professional players … In his opinion, they didn't deserve to be called "professional players."
Even some of the masters and masters on the Korean server could probably beat up many so-called professional players from China.
Glee even cruelly and maliciously thought that if he had the chance to fight against any professional LPL players, other than Morning Star and a few others, he would probably be able to easily defeat the other professional LPL mid laners.
However, it was a pity.
Originally, he had thought that if he were to encounter Zhejiang University, he could have a match with Zhejiang University's "Addisi".
However, it was said that although Zhejiang University's team was lucky enough to get a spot to advance to the next round, their player "Addisi" suddenly announced that he would return to the professional scene. Thus, he did not come to Guangzhou to participate in the top thirty-six elimination matches.
This was also something that made Glee feel a little disappointed.
But then again —
How could a professional player who could be defeated by an ordinary high school student be worthy of being called a professional player?
He was just a good-for-nothing with an undeserved reputation.
Thinking of this, Glee's paper-thin lips curved into an undisguised mocking smile.
As for the Shanghai ESPORTS Association midlaner who defeated Addisi …
Glee's long and narrow eyes slowly fell on a certain person in the stadium. A cruel and bloodthirsty light flickered in his eyes.
Of course, if they met, he didn't mind teaching that kid an unforgettable lesson.
It was at this moment that Glee suddenly heard some gibberish in Korean, which was explained by the translation team.
"Who's that girl with the hair?"
The person who spoke was naturally the other Korean foreign player from the Guangzhou ESPORTS Association.
The team's new ad-carry player, SEO.
This young ad-carry player from Korea looked pretty good. Other than the fact that his yellow hair was a little eye-catching, he looked quite handsome. It was just that he looked a little too feminine.
At this moment, SEO asked the translator beside him while staring greedily at Tang Bingyao, who had a clean ponytail, among the representatives of the Shanghai Telecommunication Association.
The coach looked down and replied, "That should be their ad-carry player. She plays the same position as you, SEO."
The translator translated.
"She's also … an ad-carry?"
SEO subconsciously licked his lips, looking a little impolite. However, his aggressive and possessive gaze never left Tang Bingyao.
"Interesting."
"I can't believe there's such a cute little girl here."
SEO paused for a moment before a greedy look flashed across his face. He chuckled.
"That little girl …"
"I'll take it."
… …
In the office on the second floor of the stadium, apart from Tang Bingyao who suddenly felt goosebumps, the other members of the Shanghai Television Association's team were unaware of everything that happened.
It was almost noon by the time they finished registering.
Everyone left the Tianhe Sports Arena. Under Lin Feng's strong recommendation, they went to a nearby tea restaurant for lunch. It was said that the food was delicious.
The food and desserts at Guangzhou's tea restaurant were truly unique. After filling their stomachs, Lin Feng's group of seven returned to the hotel to rest.
For the rest of the day, there was basically nothing to do. However, according to Chu Fangnan, the organizers of the Guangzhou Television Association should send a notice to every participating team before evening, announcing the competition schedule for the next two days.
"Let's all take a break in the afternoon."
Chu Fangnan suggested.
"After all, everyone woke up early in the morning and took the plane. They're probably tired by now. Let's get some rest and wait for the groups to be announced in the evening."
Ceng Rui pondered for a moment before nodding.
"Mhm. Let's all take a break in the afternoon. Those who aren't too tired are free to move around. Once the groups are announced, we'll have a meeting. We'll find an internet cafe nearby to practice at night."
Once again, Lin Feng was the first to jump out. He raised his hand in excitement and said,
"I'm not tired!"
