Wei Chen, who was paralyzed in his seat, raised his head and took a deep breath. Then, he reached out and took the cigarette out. He deftly flicked the ash to the side, but the cigarette that he had taken a deep breath of fell from his fingers.
Wei Chen looked at his slightly trembling fingers and stared blankly for a moment. He forced out a smile: "I really have to admit that I'm old!"
Calling himself old at the age of 31 sounded ridiculous. But in the pro scene, 31 was a grandpa's age. Up until now, there had never been an appearance of this age in the pro scene.
"Look at that guy." Wei Chen gestured towards that side. Ye Xiu looked over and saw that Bao Zi, who had just left the stage, also had a face full of unwillingness. However, Bao Zi wasn't the type to sulk by himself. He was currently talking to Luo Ji about what had happened in the match. He was even playing the role of a Brawler in real life, showing off his skills with his fists and legs. He was full of vigor.
On the other hand, even though Luo Ji wasn't as exhausted as Wei Chen, after an hour and a half of team competition, he was unbearably tired. When he listened to Bao Zi's endless chatter, stars were about to appear in front of his eyes.
Tang Rou, Qiao Yifan, and An Wenyi, the other three players who had participated in the team competition, were all silently sitting in their seats. Their faces were also full of fatigue. At the same time, they were also full of unwillingness. Everyone was clearly still brooding over the result of the match. As for the boos in the stadium, they didn't pay any attention to them.
"Yo, you're resting!"
A proud voice sounded. Everyone turned their heads and saw Sun Xiang excitedly sneak over to Happy's side. Seeing that everyone had turned their heads, he immediately clapped: "The match was very exciting. Not bad, not bad."
"But if it's only like this, then how could we meet in the finals? It really makes me anxious." Sun Xiang said.
Chen Guo was furious. Just as she was about to chase this guy away, Sun Zheping suddenly spoke up, "Who are you?"
Sun Xiang was stunned. He had never seen the person who spoke in Happy before, but he had long since seen the trick of pretending not to know him. Sun Xiang was not provoked this time. He sneered and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am your grandfather." Sun Zheping replied calmly.
F * ck!
The people who were so tired that they didn't even bother to pay attention to Sun Xiang felt their spirits lift when they heard this reply. They all looked up at him. This answer was too domineering and unexpected.
As expected, Sun Xiang couldn't take it anymore. He was so angry that he almost died. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, go home and ask your father. Don't be an eyesore here." Sun Zheping was still calm.
"You, you, you …" Sun Xiang stuttered for a long time, unable to say another word. In the end, Sun Zheping ignored him. He waved his hand and called out to everyone, "Let's go back."
"We're leaving just like that? I wanted to sit for a while longer. How tiring! " Wei Chen said this, but he had already stood up and limped toward the contestant's aisle. No one knew how he did it, but even his leg was injured.
The rest of the people followed closely behind. When the live audience saw that Happy was about to leave, they quickly booed him. Chen Guo was indignant, but Sun Xiang's mood improved a lot because of this. He stood at the contestant's aisle and waved at the audience, as if the boos were cheering for him.
Happy and the others who returned to the hotel were naturally not in a good mood. Scolding Sun Xiang a few times couldn't cover up the disappointment brought about by the loss of the competition. Chen Guo kept hoping that Ye Xiu would say something, but that guy didn't say a word. When they returned to the hotel, he greeted everyone like he usually did and went back to his room.
Seeing that everyone else went back to their rooms one by one, Chen Guo couldn't feel at ease. She chased after Ye Xiu's room.
In the room, Wei Chen was sprawled out on the bed, motionless like a corpse. Ye Xiu turned on the computer in the room again and surfed the Internet with great interest.
"You're in a good mood!" Chen Guo wasn't in a good mood. She was especially dissatisfied with Ye Xiu's reaction.
"You don't have to be so nervous." Ye Xiu turned his head and smiled.
"What do you mean?" Chen Guo asked.
"It's normal for rookies to be unstable. After all, the current opponents can't be defeated with just a mouse," Ye Xiu said.
"Then shouldn't you at least say something to them?" Chen Guo said.
"What should I say? Tell them that it's normal to lose a match, don't be discouraged, and work hard in the next match? Do you think that our team's players need to listen to those words? "Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo froze.
She felt that Ye Xiu should say those words of consolation and encouragement, but after hearing Ye Xiu's words, she thought about it again. Happy's players …
Tang Rou? This kind of defeat would only make her more spirited. Did she need encouragement?
Qiao Yifan? He had experience as a pro player, but in the end, he was a super invisible player who had never appeared in a match. He had already experienced this kind of extreme frustration before. Would he care about a loss in a match?
Luo Ji? The guy in Team Happy who was bullied by everyone. He knew that he was weak, and enjoying the blow of defeat was something that he was used to.
An Wenyi? He was an extremely rational and calm person. The negative emotions of a loss were just a side dish to him, right?
And then, Baozi? He had just come off the stage, and he was already happily reflecting on the loss with Luo Ji. Was that a blow to him?
And then, there was Wei Chen. He was even snoring now. He was sleeping so soundly! He had probably already forgotten that the crowd had booed them when they lost the match, right?
Chen Guo froze because she realized that Ye Xiu was right. Consolation? Encouragement? Team Happy's players didn't need that kind of thing because they all had their own ways of adjusting themselves.
"Actually, losing a little at a time like this is a good thing. We've always had a smooth sailing. Even against a pro team like Team Everlasting, we've always been able to overwhelm them. This looks beautiful, but it'll cover up a lot of problems. You don't think that our team is already perfect, right? "Ye Xiu said.
"Of course not," Chen Guo said.
"That's why it's better to find problems early and solve them early. It's much better than facing a truly strong opponent," Ye Xiu said.
"Then what's the problem we're facing now?" Chen Guo asked.
"From this match, the problem isn't anything new. It's the stability of the rookies," Ye Xiu said. A recording of the match had already appeared on the computer screen.
"I won't say too much about Baozi. He'll go off-line from time to time. Sometimes it'll be a problem for our opponents, but sometimes it'll also be a problem for us. Just like last time when he couldn't find his way in the match against Team Everlasting … … He'll have this kind of problem the first time, the second time, and the third time. This kind of personality factor isn't easy to solve. As a team, we can only increase our tolerance for mistakes. As for an individual, we can accumulate experience to solve this kind of problem. The more experience we have, the more options we have when facing the same situation. In terms of probability, the chances of going off-line will be lower. After that, it's time to pray. Pray that when he goes off-line, he'll hurt our opponents instead of us … … "Ye Xiu said as Baozi's match played on the screen. In this 3 to 7 match, Steamed Bun, who was playing in the individual competition, lost a point. The reason was because he made an "unexpected" play.
"As for the others, they'll be more exposed in the team competition. Tang Bingyao is stubborn and competitive. The more difficult the situation, the easier it is for her to get into the zone. To be honest, she's the most suitable player for the group arena. However, in a team competition, her outbursts will sometimes cause her to go off-line with the team. In this match, it's especially obvious. Speaking of this kind of match, Tang Bingyao should really take a good look at two players, "Ye Xiu said.
"Which two?"
"Sun Xiang."
"That idiot?" Chen Guo had a look of disdain on her face.
"Uh, Sun Xiang is a bad example. Especially in last season's Excellent Era, there were many instances where an individual's outburst was severely off-line with the team's performance. Tang Bingyao can take a good look at him. It just so happens that they're both of the same class. She can use this to think about what kind of rhythm can truly turn the match around, "Ye Xiu said.
"Haha, I knew it." Chen Guo was happy, "Then what about the other person?"
"Of course it's Zhou Zekai. He's also an outburst type player, but he can use his own outbursts to lead the team to victory. In terms of individual skill, Sun Xiang isn't worse than Zhou Zekai, but in terms of tactics and ability to read the match, Zhou Zekai is miles ahead of Sun Xiang. Tang Bingyao needs to improve in this area, "Ye Xiu said.
"Oh oh, then what about the others?" Chen Guo asked.
"Yifan's condition is the most stable out of all the youngsters. However, even though he has experience as a pro player, he doesn't have any experience in an official match, especially after switching to a Phantom Demon. When the situation is chaotic, his train of thought isn't clear enough. This hesitation is partly due to his mentality, but it's also partly due to the fact that he's a pro player who came from a professional class. He can't help but follow a set pattern. Right now, he needs to find a path that suits him as a Phantom Demon. He's more than enough to learn and accumulate experience. "Ye Xiu said.
"Oh … …"
"As for Luo Ji, he's still a bit weak right now. When the others go all out, he can't keep up with the rhythm. This can't be forced. We can only wait for him to continue improving. He still has a lot of room for improvement. As for An Wenyi, his foundation is pretty good. The professional training he's been undergoing recently has helped him improve a lot. These past two months of training have also allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience in dealing with high-level situations. His problem is the same as his initial weakness. His reactions are a bit slow. However, he's very smart. He's trying to use more precise tempo control to counteract his slow weakness. "Ye Xiu said.
"But, this is a match, not a BOSS! If he's only controlling the tempo, he won't be able to deal with many sudden situations, right? "Chen Guo said.
"He's also found a way to solve the problem you mentioned." Ye Xiu laughed.
"What is it?"
"Prediction. He'll use prediction to prepare for the situation. Don't worry. As he accumulates experience, he'll become an outstanding Cleric. "Ye Xiu said.
"Oh … …"
"As for Old Wei … …" Ye Xiu said as he turned around to look at Wei Chen, who was sleeping like a corpse, "Age is his problem. He can only rely on his willpower to overcome it … …"
