After the game, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang were invited for an interview.
When the reporter saw the two handsome guys appear at the same time, she excitedly picked up the microphone and said, "Congratulations to Tianheng 31 for winning the first round of the playoffs! Welcome Shuoyue and Lieyang to the interview booth! "
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo took the microphone and politely greeted the cameraman and reporter.
The reporter said, "In today's game, Tianheng brought out a lot of lineups that were never seen in the regular season. For example, in the first game, they used [Soul Chaser] and [Hell's Butterfly]. In the second game, they used [Sun, Moon, and Star]. In the fourth game, they used [Lord of the Abyss] as the jungler and [Sharpshooter] as the mid lane. These tactics were refreshing to the audience!"
She paused, then looked back at the two and said, "Why did Tianheng make so many changes? There were many lineups that performed well in the regular season. Wouldn't it be more stable to bring them out? "
Ye Shaoyang explained, "It's because we want to find a breakthrough and try out some new lineups. For example, a mage as the jungler and a marksman as the mid laner. The combination of the jungler and the mid laner is actually the same, but by changing positions, the opponent will not be able to guess at the BP stage, and we will have more options. "
Xie Yuan heard this and couldn't help but complain, "If we play against Tianheng in the future, we might as well give up on BP."
Fang Zhengqing agreed, "Yes, they can even change the position of the hero. We banned a bunch of junglers, but Chi Shuo used a mage as the jungler? What a waste of effort. "
Coach Chen couldn't help but sigh.
He thought back to when he first followed the live streamer Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai was still a newbie who used [Lord of the Abyss] to rush into the Chinese server. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and Ye Shaoyang's growth was really amazing.
Not only did he become a versatile mid laner that all mages could play, but he could even use marksmen to play in competitions. He helped the Tianhuan Squad develop a lot of tactical ideas. His combat skills, mental fortitude, and understanding of the big picture were already at the level of an international mid laner.
It was a pity that he had not been able to get Xiao Bai to join Jing Zhe Battle Team. Chi Shuo had picked him up.
Coach Chen looked at the handsome young man in the interview room and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "If Shuoyue and Lieyang join forces, this season's world championship … Maybe we can take it back to China."
Fang Zhengqing turned to look at him and said, "Coach, are you willing to let Tianheng win the championship?"
Coach Chen said, "Even though I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the Tianhuan Squad of S10 is indeed very strong. They are even stronger than S6!"
Fang Zhengqing smiled and patted the coach on the shoulder. "It's okay. We've done our best. Let's play well in the next match. Don't have any regrets."
It was said that Alpha players were very competitive, but Fang Zhengqing's mentality had always been very "Buddhist". Compared to the other captains who were there to motivate their team members every day, Fang Zhengqing spent more of his free time playing with his cat.
Injected with chicken blood? It was impossible.
Fang Zhengqing had never been so hot-blooded. He always had a sleepy look on his face. No matter if he won or lost, he always had a "Just finish the game" attitude. He lived up to his reputation as the laziest Alpha player in the league.
In the interview room, the reporter changed the topic. "Lieyang, many fans want to know. Did your mentality change after winning the World Championship in the individual competition? Did this championship give you more confidence to try out new strategies? "
Ye Shaoyang said, "My confidence didn't come from that trophy."
He looked at Chi Shuo beside him and smiled. "It was given to me by my teammates."
The reporter said, "What you mean is that your teammates in Tianheng gave you confidence?"
Ye Shaoyang nodded. "That's right. Qujiang's play has been very stable. Old Qin is our most solid support. Xiao Xing's progress is also very fast … And our Chi Shuo, every time the mid and jungle team works together, our thoughts are synchronized. That's why I have the confidence to try out more heroes. Because I know that my teammates will definitely support me. "
The reporter couldn't help but look at Chi Shuo. "What does Chi Shuo think? When Lieyang used [Sharpshooter] in the middle lane, didn't you suspect that he would make a mistake? "
Chi Shuo said calmly, "I never doubted Yangyang's ability." He looked at Ye Shaoyang with a gentle gaze. "So, no matter what choice Yangyang makes, I will believe in him and support him. I think that teammates should trust each other like this. "
Many players watching the game: "…"
Your words are too hurtful!
Not all teammates trust each other as much as you do, okay? Some teammates will quarrel and even fall out over the selection of heroes or the lineup.
Teammates like you two who have synchronized brainwaves are the minority!
The reporter was thinking the same thing, but on the surface, he joked, "Cough, if the Professional Alliance were to give out the 'Exemplary Partner Award,' I think Shuo Yue and Lie Yang would definitely be able to win it!"
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo looked at each other and smiled.
Chi Shuo said, "It's a pity that there's no such award."
Ye Shaoyang agreed. "I suggest that Chairman Qiu consider giving us the Exemplary Partner Award."
Chairman Qiu: "???"
What's the Exemplary Partner Award? Have you only heard of the Exemplary Couple Award?
The reporter hurriedly ended the topic. "Thank you for accepting our interview. I hope that Tianheng will play its own style in the following matches! See you next week! "
After the interview, they had to walk through a long corridor to return backstage.
Chi Shuo walked in front, and Ye Shaoyang followed behind him. Under the dim light, Chi Shuo suddenly held Ye Shaoyang's hand gently, and their fingers intertwined.
Ye Shaoyang's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't let go. He took the initiative to hold Chi Shuo's hand back.
The two of them secretly walked forward hand in hand, and the frequency of their heartbeats seemed to be particularly clear in the quiet space. They didn't let go of each other until the end of the corridor lit up, and they put on an expression that said, "We're just good partners."
Backstage, Jing Zhe's team members were discussing where to eat. When they saw Chi Shuo, Xie Yuan turned around and said, "Chi Shuo, do you want to go for supper tonight?"
Chi Shuo hit the nail on the head and asked, "Do you need me to treat you?"
Xie Yuan smiled with curved eyes. "Did everyone hear that? Captain Chi, please. Thank you, Captain Chi! "
Chi Shuo: "…"
Seeing Chi Shuo's deflated expression, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but whisper, "Your old friends are really interesting. Xie Yuan is simply a freeloader, right? She always asks you to treat her after every match. "
This was already the third time.
Chi Shuo shrugged. "Okay, I'll treat you guys to a meal. Take it as a reward for taking down Fang Zhengqing."
Fang Zhengqing wasn't angry. He adjusted his glasses and said, "Then I'll have to choose a good place to let your wallet bleed more. Hmm … How about Starry Sky Restaurant? "
Chi Shuo was speechless. "Is that necessary?"
Fang Zhengqing and Xie Yuan said at the same time, "Of course!"
Ye Shaoyang didn't know about Starry Sky Restaurant, so he quickly took out his phone and searched for it. It was one of the famous high-end revolving restaurants in Star City, located on the top floor of Xinghe Building. The average cost per person was very high. If Chi Shuo really treated so many people to a meal there, his wallet would definitely bleed.
Coach Chen came out in time to stop them. "Ahem, jokes aside, there's no need to be so extravagant and wasteful. Wouldn't it be bad if the reporters took pictures of it? Let's just eat somewhere nearby. "
Xie Yuan thought for a while and said, "How about the barbecue restaurant on Longhu Road? It's not far away. "
Chi Shuo said, "Sure."
All the players and coaches of both teams went to the barbecue restaurant designated by Xie Yuan.
According to the schedule, Jing Zhe was beaten into the loser's group, and his next opponent would be determined after the first round of the loser's group. Tianheng's next opponent would also be determined after the winner's group, Beimu and Yueying, finished their match. It would be two weeks before the next opponent would be determined.
There was plenty of time, so the review could come back tomorrow. The two coaches also hoped that the players could relax.
On the way, Ye Shaoyang looked at the scenery outside the car window and felt that it was somewhat familiar. When the car turned into a street, he saw a huge signboard with the words "Star City Esports Center" not far in front of him. The signboard was lit up. This was the place where Chi Shuo once took him to do the esports talent test. It was also the place where Chi Shuo trained when he was young.
After getting out of the car, Xie Yuan led everyone into the barbecue restaurant with familiarity.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant said in surprise, "Yuan, why are you here?" Seeing the people behind him, the owner became excited again, "Xiao Chi, Xiao Fang, you're all here!"
Fang Zhengqing smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, we just finished a match, so we brought our teammates here for supper."
Chi Shuo also nodded at her.
Ye Shaoyang looked at Chi Shuo, who whispered in his ear, "When we were at the Star City Youth Training Base, we often trained until two or three o 'clock in the morning. When we were hungry, we would order takeout. When we were tired of the food at the training base, we would also come to their restaurant to eat barbecue to improve our meals. That's why the owner knows us."
Ye Shaoyang suddenly understood, "No wonder Xie Yuan wanted to come here. You guys haven't been here for many years, right?"
Chi Shuo nodded, "Ever since we left the Youth Training Base, we haven't been here for five years."
Everyone found a large private room on the second floor and sat down.
Xie Yuan looked out of the window, his eyes full of nostalgia, "In the past, when we were training at the Youth Training Base across the street, we would play ranking matches every night, and the person who won the least would be treated to supper."
He turned around to look at Ye Shaoyang and asked mysteriously, "Guess, who's the one who invited me the most?"
Ye Shaoyang guessed, "Could it be Chi Shuo?"
Xie Yuan smiled and said, "You guessed right!"
Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but wonder, "During your training period, did Chi Shuo have the lowest win rate?"
Xie Yuan explained, "Because, the three of us agreed to play in a three-platoon, and Chi Shuo and Fang Fang would play in a two-platoon."
Chi Shuo and Fang Zhengqing looked at each other in disdain, and the players around them all laughed out loud.
The two of them would definitely have the lowest win rate in a team.
After all, these two "reverse tacit understanding" in the middle and the wild could destroy the three-platoon.
Fang Zhengqing raised his eyebrows. "Can you not mention our dark history?"
Xie Yuan smiled happily. "Anyway, when you and Chi Shuo were together, your monthly living expenses were not enough to treat him. The two of you had no choice but to play with him and substitute for him to earn money."
Fang Zhengqing said, "When we were substituting for him, we were matched with the same team and caused the two bosses to lose. Our bosses complained about us, and our substituting jobs were ruined."
Chi Shuo was speechless.
Ye Shaoyang laughed at the side. "Your life during your training period was quite interesting, huh?"
Chi Shuo thought about his experience when he was young, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He said in a low voice, "At that time, there was no pressure to compete. Even if we were scolded by the coach every day, we didn't care too much. It was purely for fun."
Xie Yuan sighed. "Yeah, actually, those two years were the most relaxing time for us."
When they were young, everyone would have dreams. They would think that they were the brightest star in the eSports circle and that they would definitely win the championship.
When they actually signed with a team and became professional players, they would realize that every competition was incomparably difficult.
Tianheng S6 won second place in the international competition and missed the championship by a hair's breadth.
Jing Zhe S8 was the champion of the domestic competition and also made it to the international competition, but they returned empty-handed.
In fact, they all had regrets in their hearts. They all had unfulfilled dreams.
Unfortunately, competitive events were just that cruel. There could only be one champion.
Xie Yuan looked at Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang and said with a smile, "It's already the tenth season. No matter who makes it to the international competition in the end, I hope that the championship trophy will be taken back by the Chinese team. "
He paused and said, "When the time comes, the champion will treat everyone to a meal at Starry Sky Restaurant. No one will scold us, right?"
Chi Shuo agreed without hesitation. "Sure, the champion will treat us to a meal back in Star City."
Actually, that was their dream when they were young — to stand on the world's highest stage and receive an award. They would also be able to sit in the most beautiful restaurant in Star City and enjoy a luxurious buffet.
At that time, they were still young and did not earn much. They were embarrassed to spend their family's money. When they became eSports players, they were busy with competitions and training and did not have time to go back home.
Chi Shuo remembered that five years ago, when the five of them had signed with different teams and left the youth training base, Xie Yuan had pointed at a building not far away and said, "In the future, whoever wins the world championship will treat us to a meal at the most expensive restaurant."
After that, Xie Yuan also took the initiative to organize the annual gatherings.
The sharpshooter who was calm and sharp on the battlefield was actually a very gentle and affectionate person in real life.
After the gathering ended, Xie Yuan suddenly walked up to Ye Shaoyang and said softly, "Lieyang, I think that your [Sharpshooter] is not inferior to a world-class shooter."
Ye Shaoyang was stunned. He did not expect Xie Yuan to give him such a high evaluation.
Xie Yuan smiled and said, "Your cooperation with Chi Shuo is not inferior to that of the Korean champion team. Do your best. I'll wait for you to get good results. "
Ye Shaoyang nodded and said, "Yes, we will do our best."
Back at the hotel, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo walked side by side to their room.
When they reached an empty corner, Ye Shaoyang could not help but say, "Actually, I'm quite envious of you. You have such good friends from your youth training days. It's really rare."
Chi Shuo said softly, "Yes, they are really good people. They just play games and do not scheme against each other. In the future, I will formally introduce you to them as their boyfriend. "
Ye Shaoyang gently stretched out his arms and took the initiative to hug Chi Shuo. He said softly, "I'm quite satisfied to have you."
Chi Shuo was stunned for a moment. "Why do you suddenly say that?"
Ye Shaoyang smiled brightly. "Nothing, I'm just a little emotional. Fortunately, I met you."
It was because I met you in this strange world that I had so many wonderful experiences.
This is the luckiest thing that has happened since I transmigrated.
No matter what the setting of the ABO world is, you are my best partner and boyfriend.
With you, I'm not afraid of the next game, no matter how difficult it is.
Thinking of this, Ye Shaoyang took the initiative to tiptoe and gently kissed Chi Shuo.
Chi Shuo was speechless.
Chi Shuo, who was kissed until his brain crashed, was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He immediately hugged Ye Shaoyang and kissed him fiercely. Ye Shaoyang quickly pushed him. "Wait, what if someone …"
Chi Shuo swiped the card to open the door, pulled Ye Shaoyang into the room, and whispered, "There's no one now."
The next moment, Ye Shaoyang was pressed against the wall by Alpha and kissed until his legs turned to jelly.
Ye Shaoyang was speechless.
F * ck, he just couldn't help but look at Chi Shuo's handsome face. Thinking that he could meet such a good teammate and develop a relationship with him, he boldly leaned over and kissed him.
Anyway, they were a couple. What's wrong with kissing him?
Unexpectedly, Alpha directly dragged him into the room and kissed him until his lips were swollen.
After a long time, Chi Shuo finally let go of him, satisfied. He pressed his lips against his and whispered, "I wanted to kiss you when we were in the soundproof room. I've been holding back until now. Our Yangyang is really handsome today. "
The two of them looked at each other. Ye Shaoyang's heart stopped beating. He couldn't help but say, "You, you're very handsome too."
Chi Shuo couldn't help but be moved. He hugged Ye Shaoyang and kissed him for a while.
Ye Shaoyang didn't know what shyness was. Anyway, kissing Chi Shuo was quite comfortable. He didn't dislike it. So he cooperated and hugged Chi Shuo, trying out the excitement of having an affair.
The two of them kissed more and more passionately.
Before they completely lost control, Chi Shuo stepped on the brakes in time and said in a hoarse voice, "I, I'm afraid I can't control myself and become susceptible again. Let's go back and rest first."
Ye Shaoyang remembered his experience of being susceptible in Korea. His scalp went numb and he hurriedly stopped.
The two of them looked at each other and their ears turned red at the same time.
Chi Shuo walked to the door and looked outside. He coughed and said, "There's no one here. Let's go back first."
Ye Shaoyang sneaked out of Chi Shuo's room like a thief and quickly walked into his own room.
After returning to the bathroom, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but smile helplessly when he looked at his swollen mouth.
Was Chi Shuo cold and aloof?
He was indeed cold and serious in front of others.
But in front of Ye Shaoyang, Alpha was actually quite enthusiastic.
What should he do when he was completely marked in the future?
Ye Shaoyang was too ashamed to think about it.
