The Imperial Esports Center was larger than Star City. After all, it was the capital, and the stadiums were more impressive than those in other cities. Every year, the finals of the Divinity Pro League would be held in the largest esports stadium in the country.
When the Tianhuan Squad arrived at the venue at 5 o 'clock, there were already many spectators lining up to enter.
It was late autumn in November, and the weather was getting colder. Many of the spectators were wearing thick coats, but their enthusiasm didn't diminish, and their faces were full of excitement. Tonight was the showdown between the ICE Team Ice Spirit and Jing Zhe Team. Ye Shaoyang looked through the car window and saw many fans carrying support items for the two teams.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Tianhuan Squad's car is here!"
A group of people rushed over and stopped their car, shouting excitedly, "Captain Chi, Captain Chi!" "Captain Chi, I love you!"
The car was forced to stop by the roadside. Chi Shuo opened the window and gestured to the fans outside. The fans screamed, followed by a girl's cry, "Next season, we'll wait for you to enter the finals! Go, Tianheng! "
The sobbing voice almost penetrated the clouds.
The team members in the car had mixed feelings. Chi Shuo nodded to them and whispered, "Thank you, we'll work hard. Everyone, get ready to enter, and be careful. "
The handsome Alpha captain looked serious, and his deep and pleasant voice had a convincing power. He pointed to the front of the line and motioned for everyone to go over. The fans waved at him and left reluctantly.
The driver started the car again and quickly drove into the underground parking lot.
Although Tianheng didn't enter the finals this season, as a veteran team that had been established for 10 years, there were still many die-hard fans. Cheng Xing, who was sitting next to him, whispered, "I used to be a Tianheng fan, and I even went to watch the games live. The S6 season of Tianheng was amazing."
Xie Xiaotian joked, "Yes, yes, everyone knows that you're a die-hard fan of Captain Chi."
When Ye Shaoyang heard this, he could not help but turn around and ask, "So, Little Xing started playing as a jungler because he wanted to inherit your idol's legacy?"
Cheng Xing blushed and stole a glance at Chi Shuo. "I just think that being a jungler is pretty cool."
The car fell into silence for a while.
Chi Shuo was indeed very handsome in the S6 season. He had achieved multiple pentakills in the regular season and was number one in the entire season, establishing his position as the top jungler in the Chinese division. Later on, he became the world champion in the individual competition. Chi Shuo had just turned 18 years old that year. He was like a rising star, and many people had pinned their hopes on him.
However, just as many anti-fans had said, Chi Shuo was the pinnacle of his career.
After losing the S6 World Finals, Team Ming retired, and Chi Shuo took over as captain. Tianheng's performance in the S7 to S9 seasons had been declining. Chi Shuo seemed to have been smoothed out, and he never had a moment of glory like he did in S6.
Ye Shaoyang looked at the captain beside him. Only those who had been a captain could understand the pressure he had been under over the years. He had slowed down and changed himself for Tianheng. It was not that his condition had declined, and it was not that he had been at the peak of his career since his debut. He had just restrained himself for the sake of his teammates.
Ye Shaoyang gently patted Chi Shuo's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Next season, the handsome jungler, Little Xing's idol, will be back, right?"
Because they were whispering, the two of them were very close to each other, and he could feel Omega's warm breath.
Chi Shuo's ears turned slightly red, and he nodded stiffly. "Yes."
Ye Shaoyang sat back down. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with Omega and Alpha whispering to each other. The fans' cries just now were very uncomfortable to listen to. He was just afraid that Chi Shuo would feel uncomfortable and wanted to encourage his teammates.
The car finally stopped in the underground parking lot. Tang Can, the team leader, got out of the car and took the player's exclusive elevator with the pass card given by the league. He took everyone directly to the second floor's viewing area and went to the front desk to sign in.
There was also a pheromone detector and a backup Alpha concealer spray at the entrance of the viewing area. Alpha players who forgot to spray could make up for it here.
Ye Shaoyang had just walked through the security checkpoint when he heard a boy complain in front of him. "Every security check is so troublesome. We don't have any Omega players in the viewing area. If we don't spray concealer, what's there to be afraid of? Alpha and Alpha can repel each other's pheromones and fight."
A cold female voice came from the side. "You talk too much nonsense."
The boy's momentum immediately weakened. "I was just complaining."
Ye Shaoyang was speechless.
He didn't need to guess to know that they were Zhao Xinping and Zhao Xinan from the Northern Shepherd team.
Sure enough, after the Tianheng team walked through the security checkpoint, they saw a group of Northern Shepherd players standing together and preparing to enter the viewing area. The tall Miss Zhao Xinping was very conspicuous in the crowd. When she heard the footsteps, she turned her head and met Chi Shuo's eyes. She greeted him angrily. "Captain Chi, you're here too."
Chi Shuo nodded. "Captain Zhao, long time no see."
It had been more than a month since the match between Tianheng and Northern Shepherd in the Star City arena. At that time, Tianheng lost to Northern Shepherd in a score of 23, but then Northern Shepherd lost to Jing Zhe in a score of 23.
As the two teams in the first round of the playoffs, they were here to watch the show as spectators.
Coach Lin shook hands with the Northern Shepherd coach angrily, then led the team into the viewing area.
The league had reserved a separate viewing area for the professional players, media reporters, and invited commentators. It could seat about 100 people, and the view was very good. They could directly see the big stage on the first floor, and there was a high-definition screen in front of them for the projection of the game.
Ye Shaoyang followed Chi Shuo to the third row of seats.
When they passed by Zhao Xinping, she suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo stopped at the same time.
Zhao Xinping looked at Ye Shaoyang and asked, "I don't think I've seen you before?"
The players of Tianheng Team 2 often appeared on the bench, so Zhao Xinping knew most of them. But today's player looked very unfamiliar. The boy's facial features were delicate and handsome. His chestnut-blonde short hair made his skin look even fairer. His eyes were especially clear and round, and his eyelashes were long and thick. When he smiled, his eyes seemed to sparkle.
If they had seen such a handsome boy before, they would definitely have an impression of him.
Chi Shuo frowned and said, "He's a newcomer from Tianheng, Xiao Ye."
Ye Shaoyang smiled and nodded at Zhao Xinping. "Hello, Captain Zhao."
Zhao Xinping was speechless.
A newcomer? A new player who had just signed a contract, or a newcomer who had been selected from the youth training camp?
Zhao Xinping was puzzled when she heard a noisy voice next to her. "Sis, come sit here. The view here is good. You can see the center of the stage on the first floor."
Zhao Xinping calmly nodded at Ye Shaoyang, then turned and walked away. Ye Shaoyang looked at her back and couldn't help but think that the female lead was indeed very handsome. Her calm and sharp eyes were full of power. There should be a lot of girls who like Zhao Xinping's type of big sister, right?
Chi Shuo saw Ye Shaoyang looking at Zhao Xinping's back and couldn't help but cough lightly. "Come and sit here." Ye Shaoyang withdrew his gaze and followed Chi Shuo to the audience area, sitting in the middle of the third row.
A moment later, another team came over.
It was the Fire-mark team. They didn't wear their team uniform today. Zhou Jiawen wore a slim khaki windbreaker. Although this Alpha player was young, he was handsome and had good taste in clothes. He dressed like a fashion model and smiled politely. Therefore, in less than two years, his popularity was on par with the veteran player Fang Zhengqing.
Zhao Xinan shouted from the front, "Xiao Zhou!"
Zhou Jiawen smiled at him and greeted Zhao Xinping. "Captain Zhao, you flew from Star City to watch the game. It's really far."
Zhao Xinping said indifferently, "Anyway, it's boring and there's no game to play. The plane tickets will be reimbursed by the league."
Coach Li of the Fire-mark team smiled and went to Lin Feng's side and asked, "Speaking of which, didn't your Tianheng archer and support retire? Do you have a place for next season's archer and support?"
As soon as this question was asked, many people present pricked up their ears.
Lin Feng smiled back at him. "I'm not telling you."
Coach Li: "…"
Zhao Xinan laughed in front. "Coach Li, you're openly spying on the enemy. That's too much."
Coach Li shrugged. "I haven't asked you yet. Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't your Northern Shepherd's mid laner retire? How about it? Have you found a suitable mid laner? "
Zhao Xinan really wanted to complain. He originally wanted to sign a newbie streamer, but he was intercepted! Just thinking about it made him angry.
Zhao Xinping said indifferently, "We want to sign Captain Zhou. Will the Fire-mark team let him go?"
Zhou Jiawen smiled politely. "Captain Zhao, do you really want to sign me? Then I'll communicate with the club and list the transfer. "
Zhao Xinan waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You're too expensive. We can't afford it! "
Everyone was joking and laughing at the side. Chi Shuo wasn't someone who liked to joke. He sat there calmly and didn't say anything. A moment later, another team came to the scene and walked to the fourth row. Chi Shuo stood up, turned around, and gently hugged and greeted the team leader.
The team leader was wearing a light gray thin sweater. Although he wasn't handsome, he was very upright and had a righteous look. His laughter was also very refreshing. "Chi Shuo, you're here early!"
Chi Shuo said, "Tianheng's base is in Beijing. It's not right to be late."
The people next to him also greeted him angrily. "Captain Xu!"
The man's gaze swept across the crowd and finally stopped on Ye Shaoyang. He asked curiously, "Who is this handsome guy? Why haven't I seen him before? "
Chi Shuo said, "We're a newcomer from Tianheng."
After that, he introduced him to Ye Shaoyang in a low voice. "The captain of the Yueying team, Xu Zhuo."
Xu Zhuo was the top laner with the strongest resistance to pressure in China. He was one of the few players who had been recognized by the World Alliance as an honorable 9th Dan player. He graduated from the Star City Youth Training Camp with Chi Shuo, Fang Zhengqing, and the others.
They had known each other for more than four years. It was no wonder that Chi Shuo greeted him alone.
Ye Shaoyang stood up, smiled, and extended his hand. "Hello, Captain Xu. I'm a newcomer from Tianheng, Xiao Ye. "
Xu Zhuo nodded. He shook his hand and joked, "The Tianheng Squad's looks are getting better and better. Are you guys going to debut in an esports idol drama?"
Everyone turned to look at Ye Shaoyang when they heard what he said.
The person next to Captain Chi was indeed very good-looking. His facial features were very distinctive. He seemed to have some characteristics of a mixed-race person. His hair was naturally chestnut-blonde, but it was not eye-catching. Instead, it complemented his fair skin. His eyes were very beautiful. When he smiled, he gave off a warm feeling. He was a typical sunny young handsome guy.
Captain Chi had brought this person to the scene and let him sit next to him. It was obvious how important he was.
Could he be a newly promoted support from Tianheng?
Zhao Xinan whispered in his sister's ear, "He should be Tianheng's new support. Their second team's marksman, Fu Yue, may fill in for the marksman position next season. With this handsome guy as support, the lineup will be complete."
Zhao Xinping said thoughtfully, "That's possible. I have no impression of this person at all. He shouldn't be a player from another team. Maybe he was groomed by Tianheng's youth training camp. "
Zhao Xinan nodded. "I think so too. If he's a newcomer, I don't know how good he is. "
Zhao Xinping said, "We'll know next season."
Everyone was very curious about this new face from Tianheng. From time to time, they would look at Ye Shaoyang inquisitively. No matter whose gaze Ye Shaoyang met, he would always return it with a ^ _ ^ smile. Gradually, the people around him became embarrassed to look at him. They looked away and looked at the big stage.
The game had not started yet. On the big stage, the staff was nervously adjusting the equipment.
Next to them, Zhao Xinan said loudly, "Hey, hey, do you guys want to bet? Who will win tonight?"
Zhou Jiawen smiled and said, "I'll bet on Jing Zhe. After all, we beat Jing Zhe in the playoffs. If Old Fang wins the championship, we'll be able to keep our face."
Huowen had defeated Jing Zhe before. In the end, Jing Zhe won the championship. Did that mean that Huowen's strength was not inferior to the champion's?
Zhao Xinan's eyes lit up. "Captain Zhou's logic is awesome! Then I'll also bet on Jing Zhe winning. We were eliminated by Jing Zhe. Being eliminated by the champion team will make us look better! "
Xu Zhuo was sitting in the back row of Chi Shuo. When he heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Ah Shuo, what do you think?"
Chi Shuo said lightly, "I think Soul Ice will win."
Xu Zhuo laughed and leaned back in his seat. He said lazily, "It's not easy for Little Chen to lead this broken Soul Ice team to the finals. I also hope he wins once."
Ye Shaoyang lowered his head and quickly took out his phone to search for information about the team.
The captain of ICE Soul Ice, Chen Qianhua, was the most popular player among the Beta players in the league.
Chen Qianhua, Chi Shuo, Xu Zhuo, Fang Zhengqing, and Xie Yuan were classmates in the Youth Training Camp. They played support, jungler, top, mid, and archer respectively. They were often referred to by netizens as the Five Gods from the Star City Youth Training Camp.
He also debuted in the S6 season. At the beginning, he didn't perform well. He was far behind Chi Shuo and Fang Zhengqing, who were in the limelight at the time. Later, he gradually developed his own style. He was a late bloomer.
The Soul Ice team went through two reorganizations. After Chen Qianhua took over as captain, he turned the tide and brought the team that was almost eliminated from the Pro League in the S8 season back into the playoffs. In the S9 season, they even made it to the finals.
Chi Shuo was at the peak of his debut. Later in the season, his results began to decline. Chen Qianhua was the complete opposite. When he debuted, his radiance was dim. However, he was well-prepared. He counterattacked all the way and turned the tide.
This person's courage was also difficult for ordinary people to reach.
Soul Ice's strongest point was in team battles. Their teamwork was very good. Under the command of support Chen Qianhua, the five of them could exert a strength greater than 5.
Many teams would have an advantage in the early stages of a match against Soul Ice.
However, the team collapsed as soon as the match started.
Chen Qianhua's Soul Ice team versus Fang Zhengqing's Jing Zhe team. Who had a higher chance of winning?
Ye Shaoyang looked at the big stage expectantly.
S9, the champion of the Chinese division, was about to be born here!
