The match lasted for four hours, and it was already 11 o 'clock at night when it ended. Tang Can, the team leader, asked everyone to take a car back. The car did not return to the base directly but stopped at the entrance of a famous seafood buffet in Beijing.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Let's reward you with supper tonight!"
Enthusiastic cheers rang out in the car. The players got out of the car one by one and went to the private room booked in advance. They saw two unexpectedly familiar faces.
Qujiang immediately ran over happily. "Old Nie, Ah Ning!"
Old Nie hugged him. "Sister Tang Can told us. We came over to get a free meal, haha."
Song Yuning said, "We came back to watch the finals today. It's been a long time since we last met."
Chi Shuo walked over to greet the two. Old Nie smiled and said, "Captain Chi, aren't you going to introduce the new members?" Chi Shuo looked back at Ye Shaoyang and introduced him. "This is the newbie streamer, Ye Shaoyang."
Old Nie reached out his hand. "Hello!"
Ye Shaoyang also shook hands with the two of them and greeted them. They were friends, but this was the first time they had met in person. The two of them were quite enthusiastic about Ye Shaoyang. They had even sent him tens of thousands of yuan in gifts.
After the two of them retired, they left Tianheng. Old Nie stayed in Beijing and decided to be a professional gaming streamer. Ah Ning said he wanted to go home and open a small shop that specialized in eSports. He was enjoying his retirement life.
Coach Lin looked at the excited faces of the players and smiled as he walked into the room. "S9 is over. Don't think too much about the past. Relax tonight and eat as much as you want. Coach, this is on you!"
Everyone ran to get food. Ye Shaoyang brought over a plate of seafood. He put on gloves and asked as he peeled the shrimp, "Ice Spirit and Jing Zhe are going overseas to compete in the international competition, right?"
Coach Lin nodded. "Yes. The champion and runner-up of the Chinese division will go to the international competition every year."
Ye Shaoyang was curious. "Are there two spots in each division?"
Coach Lin said, "The divisions are different, so the spots are different. Regions such as China, North America, Europe, Korea, and Southeast Asia had more e-sports players and would be given two spots every year. The division that won the championship last season would be given an extra spot in the World Series. In the African and Latin American regions, the standard of eSports was relatively low, so they were only given one slot. Altogether, there were 13 slots. The remaining three slots will be selected from the wild card area. "
When Chi Shuo heard this, he added in a low voice, "The Wild Card Tournament starts in November every year. Regardless of nationality, teams from all divisions can spend money to sign up and compete for a spot in the World Championship. The competition is very fierce."
Tianheng could participate in the wildcard round, but Old Nie and Ah Ning had retired, and the new team had not gotten used to each other yet. There was no need for them to spend so much money to go abroad and suffer. Therefore, they could be considered to have given up this season.
Old Nie interrupted. "The champion of last year's World Competition was FLD from the North American division, right? This year, North America can send three teams to the World Series. "
Qujiang smiled and said, "FLD is from Florida. They were not famous in the past. I heard that they were a dark horse in the North American division last season and knocked out a few popular teams."
Qin Yizhu sighed. "Every year, there will be dark horse teams in all the major divisions. On the other hand, those popular teams failed in the playoffs and could not even enter the World Series! "
Ye Shaoyang listened to their conversation and could not help but think of the World Series in his previous life.
The LOL World Series was basically a showdown between China and Korea, and the other divisions were just bystanders. However, the World Series here was different. The eSports in North America, Europe, Japan, Korea, and other countries were developing very well. The champion of last season came from the North American division. It was obvious that the overall strength of this division was also very strong.
There were many experts in the domestic competition, and the World Series was even more dangerous.
Realizing the dream of becoming the World Champion was much more difficult than he had imagined. However, there was only motivation when there was a challenge. If he could easily achieve his goal, there would be no meaning.
Lin Feng saw that Ye Shaoyang had lowered his head and was deep in thought. He smiled and said, "Shaoyang, don't be too stressed. This is your first time competing. Next season, we'll first achieve a small goal — entering the playoffs. Take it slow."
Ye Shaoyang: "…"
First time competing? No, I've been competing for four years, and I've even reached the World Series Finals. He did not dare to tell anyone this secret. In everyone's eyes, he was still a "newbie" who needed a lot of attention.
Ye Shaoyang smiled and nodded. "Okay, Coach. Let's start with a small goal."
After everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content, they returned to the base and went to sleep.
The next day, there was no training scheduled. Coach Lin called everyone to the conference room to review the S9 Finals in detail. He analyzed the five matches between Soul of Ice and Jing Zhe and learned from them.
Everyone listened attentively.
After the review, Coach Lin said, "From this match, we can see the importance of teamwork. Individually, each player of Soul of Ice is not at the top of the league, but the five of them worked together as a team. The teamwork of the entire team was very good, and this was the key to their victory. "
Coach Lin paused and swept his gaze across the field. "In Tianheng, the coaching team has also discovered some problems during the past few days of training. Chi Shuo and Shaoyang's rhythm is a little out of sync with the top lane and bottom lane. Especially Cheng Xing in the bottom lane, he can't keep up with the rhythm when playing as a team. "
Cheng Xing immediately lowered his head.
Coach Lin said, "Next, we'll have to practice other lineups. For example, a double C system, let Cheng Xing also take on the burden of the damage output position. Or a combination of midlaners and junglers, but leaning towards the wild core or the mid core. We'll have to try all kinds of lineups. This way, we'll have more strategies for next season. "
Chi Shuo nodded decisively. "No problem. We'll listen to the coaching team's arrangements."
Coach Lin continued, "On November 20th, I'll have a mock competition with Team FNO from the North American division. Everyone, prepare well. It doesn't matter if you win or lose in a mock competition. The key is to discover the problems in the team's teamwork. "
Everyone nodded to show that they understood.
After the meeting, Cheng Xing followed everyone with his head down. When Ye Shaoyang saw his sad face, he couldn't help but smile and pat the little guy on the shoulder. He said, "Are you sad to be called out by the coach?"
Cheng Xing blushed and whispered, "Have I been holding you guys back?"
Ye Shaoyang said gently, "The lack of teamwork doesn't mean that you're holding us back. It could also be that Chi Shuo and I are too fast. In fact, if a team wants to break in well, everyone has to find the right rhythm and speed. It's not a good thing to be too fast or too slow. "
Cheng Xing froze for a moment and looked up at Ye Shaoyang. He didn't expect Ye Shaoyang to comfort him.
Ye Shaoyang said, "Don't be too stressed. Chi Shuo and I will also make adjustments. Everyone still has time to slowly break in."
Cheng Xing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll try my best to keep up!"
Chi Shuo looked at this scene with mixed feelings.
Shaoyang was actually helping him train his disciple?
When they arrived at the training room, Chi Shuo sat next to Ye Shaoyang and whispered, "Cheng Xing is quite talented, but he doesn't have any experience in major competitions. He can't keep his cool and tends to be impulsive. He runs to his death when he shouldn't, but he's not decisive enough when he should. "
Ye Shaoyang said, "He's still young after all. You want him to become a calm and mature player immediately? That's asking too much of him. You have to give him some time to grow, right? "
Chi Shuo nodded. "Yes. In the future, we'll focus more on the bottom lane. Let Qujiang and Cheng Xing work with our rhythm."
Ye Shaoyang: "Okay, let's have Cheng Xing try out a few late-game shooters."
In the following practice matches, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang tried their best to slow down the rhythm of the mid lane coordination. They repeatedly visited the bottom lane to catch people and protect the bottom lane's development. Cheng Xing also worked hard to improve his game awareness. He followed everyone to kill, counter, and push towers …
Training proceeded in an orderly manner.
Soon, it was Tuesday.
That night, Sister Tang Can took the initiative to find Ye Shaoyang and said in private, "Tomorrow, Chairman Xue of the League's Disciplinary Committee will personally come to Tianheng for an investigation. Shaoyang, you should prepare in advance."
After Ye Shaoyang returned to the dorm, he asked Chi Shuo in private, "What does the Disciplinary Committee usually investigate? I'm afraid that I'll say the wrong thing. It'll be troublesome if there's a problem with the registration. "
Chi Shuo recalled the investigation he had received after joining the team and said, "The League's Disciplinary Committee, on the one hand, monitors the style of professional players. On the other hand, it also monitors the major Clubs to prevent the Clubs from exploiting the players. If you have any dissatisfaction with the Tianheng Club, you can express it to them. "
He paused and said, "However, you're an Omega player. They may ask you some personal questions. For example, do you have any plans to date an Alpha player? Are your pheromones stable? Will it affect the game? Have the Alpha players of the Club harassed you? "
Ye Shaoyang touched his chin thoughtfully.
In other words, the committee was mainly in charge of discipline and style of work. If the Club oppressed him, or if the Alpha players in Tianheng harassed him, he could express it to the higher-ups.
Ye Shaoyang took the initiative to tear off the patch on the back of his neck and turned to ask Chi Shuo, "Then, will the fact that you marked me have any effect?"
Chi Shuo: "…"
Ye Shaoyang carefully touched the back of his neck and said, "The mark left at that time can't be felt anymore after a month. It shouldn't be seen, right? If the Alliance misunderstands that Chi Shuo, as the captain, is bullying the new Omega player, then both of us will suffer. "
Chi Shuo's ears were burning. He shifted his gaze away from the back of his neck and said in a low voice, "It's already been more than a month. The bite marks on the gland have long disappeared. You can't tell anything from the outside. But … the pheromones I left in your body can still be detected if they check carefully. "
Ye Shaoyang said worriedly, "Will they check carefully? You left a pheromone in my body? "
These words sounded more and more wrong.
Chi Shuo's ears were red as he said, "They shouldn't. Even if you were marked by an Alpha player, it's still your privacy. Everyone's right to privacy is protected by the law. As long as you don't take the initiative to complain that I marked you while you were down, they won't bother me. "
Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but laugh. "How could I complain? At that time, I took the initiative to ask for it, and it was a desperate decision. " He paused and looked at Chi Shuo. "Don't worry. If they really ask, I'll say that I was injected with a suppressant. They won't drag me to the hospital for an examination."
Chi Shuo was slightly relieved. "That's for the best."
***
Early the next morning, people from the Alliance's Disciplinary Committee came to Tianhuan Squad to investigate.
The leader was a gentle looking Beta girl named Xue Ling. She was about 30 years old. It was said that she was one of the vice presidents of the League of God Wars and was in charge of discipline. Zhao Xinan's live broadcast room was banned by her.
Her attitude towards Ye Shaoyang was very gentle. "Xiao Ye, you are one of the few Omega players in our league, so the president asked me to come and see you in person."
Ye Shaoyang said angrily, "Thank you for your concern."
Xue Ling asked softly, "Is there any inconvenience in your life in Tianhuan Squad? Do you get along well with the players in the team, especially the Alpha players? Does anyone bully you? "
Sure enough, Chi Shuo guessed the direction of their investigation.
Ye Shaoyang's eyes were frank as he calmly said, "The club is very good to me. They let me stay in a separate bedroom. Every day after training, I go back to my bedroom to sleep. I rarely communicate with the Alpha players in private. Everyone has a pure relationship as teammates and we get along very well."
Xue Ling smiled. "You don't have to be afraid. If you feel wronged, you can boldly say it. The Alliance will make decisions for every professional player. You can rest assured."
Ye Shaoyang smiled brightly. "Wronged? No, no, the Tianhuan Squad is like my home. We are all good brothers. Maybe because my personality is too similar to Alpha, they don't see me as an Omega at all. "
Xue Ling was speechless.
This Omega player seemed to have a big heart!
The accompanying doctor gave Ye Shaoyang a simple check on his pheromone. The conclusion was that his pheromone control was very stable and there was no possibility of estrus in the near future.
They followed closely to Ye Shaoyang's bedroom and walked around. They saw a cute cat. Xue Ling touched the cat's head. This bedroom had a separate bathroom, so it didn't affect the others.
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who lives in the bedroom opposite yours?"
Ye Shaoyang said calmly, "Captain Chi lives opposite mine. Don't worry, Captain Chi only has the game in his mind. He doesn't see me as an Omega player at all. If I make a mistake during training, he will scold me. "
Chi Shuo was confused.
Xue Ling smiled. "Captain Chi, that's good." After all, the Alpha captain was famous for being serious and upright. Chi Shuo would harass an Omega player? That's impossible.
The Alliance investigated whether the signing bonus was paid on time, whether the club had harsh requirements for the players, and so on. Then they drove away.
Ye Shaoyang sent them off.
After returning to the training room, Chi Shuo immediately asked in a low voice, "How was it?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "It's nothing. They just asked me a few questions and walked around the dormitory. I told them that Tianheng is like my home, and that we are all good brothers. That Chairman Xue's expression was a bit strange. "
Chi Shuo was speechless.
You're the strange one.
What do you mean we are all good brothers? Ye Shaoyang really didn't have the self-awareness of being an Omega player.
However, the Alliance should be relieved now. After all, how could a big-hearted Omega like Ye Shaoyang be bullied? That's impossible. If anyone dared to bully him, Ye Shaoyang would probably beat them until they were looking for their teeth on the ground.
The facts proved so. Shortly after the Disciplinary Committee's routine investigation, the Alliance sent a notice — the contract between the Tianheng club and Ye Shaoyang had been successfully recorded.
In the database of the God Wars Professional League, there was an additional Omega player named Ye Shaoyang.
