At the same time, Tianhuan Squad's base.
Coach Lin looked at the post-match statistics and patted Cheng Xing's shoulder. "Although we won the mock competition, Xiao Xing's damage output is still not good!"
Cheng Xing looked at the statistics and lowered his head awkwardly.
In the first round, his damage output was only 20%. Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang each dealt more than 35%, and Qin Yizhu dealt 10%. Old Qin's low damage output was understandable. After all, he chose to start a team, so his damage output was very poor. However, as an archer, his damage output was only 20%. This was far from enough to qualify for the competition!
The second round was even worse. He was killed six times in a row, and his final damage output was only 15%.
These numbers were unbearable. He was like a rookie archer in a bronze game.
Coach Lin smiled. "Let's start training tomorrow. Aren't Chi Shuo and Shaoyang PK with the newbies of Team 2? Xiao Xing, you join the PK team too. You team up with Qujiang and play 2v2 with Chi Shuo and Shaoyang. Let Nakano and Nakano focus on the bottom lane. Practice how to escape. "
Cheng Xing was speechless.
2v2 with two Great Demon Kings?
Looks like his future days won't be easy!

After the mock competition, Lin Feng and Coach Tom exchanged a few words, then both teams went offline.
Coach Tom privately messaged Lin Feng and asked, "Did Tianheng change their mid laner? Where did you buy such a good mid laner? "
Lin Feng sent a smiley face and said, "It's a secret."
Coach Tom also knew the rules of the eSports circle.
Before the official announcement, the signed players could not be revealed to the outside world. He sent a thumbs up emoji to Coach Lin and said, "Good taste! Looks like Tianheng will be able to enter the World Series next season. FNO will also work hard to get a place in the North American division. "
Lin Feng said, "Let's do our best. See you in the World Series!"
It was already 1: 30 in the afternoon. Lin Feng brought everyone to the cafeteria for lunch.
It was half past one in the morning in the United States. Mitchell was not sleepy at all. He watched the videos of the two training matches from beginning to end. Then, he opened his friend list and sent a private message to a person named Hou Hou.
Mitchell: "Are you there?"
Mitchell: "[Split.jpg] [Split.jpg]"
Zhou Jiawen had just finished his lunch and came to the training room. Seeing his old friend sending him a bunch of emojis, he replied in confusion, "What's wrong? Why did you crack? "
Mitchell: "Take care of yourself next season."
Zhou Jiawen: "??"
Mitchell: "Let me light a candle for you guys in advance."
Zhou Jiawen and Mitchell were players who debuted in the same year. They met in the international server and became very good friends.
This new captain of FNO was usually very humorous. After interacting with Zhou Jiawen for a long time, he had also downloaded many expression packs that were commonly used in Chinese online chat. He was one of the "expression packs" among international friends.
Every time he privately messaged Zhou Jiawen, he liked to spam expression packs.
Row after row of popped emojis and row after row of candles. What exactly triggered him?
Zhou Jiawen sent a question mark. "What exactly happened?"
Mitchell: "The coach told us to keep it a secret. Anyway, take care of yourself next season. "
Mitchell: "There's a boss in the Chinese server."
Zhou Jiawen pondered over his words carefully and quickly realized that they must have lost the training match.
In the S9 season, FNO did not qualify for the World Championship. During this period of time, FNO did not have any matches to play. However, their duo in the bottom lane had been changed. The coach would definitely arrange for a few training matches to train the team.
It seemed that Mitchell sent so many [Split.jpg] emojis because FNO was defeated in the training match.
A boss in the Chinese server?
Zhou Jiawen was silent for a moment. He turned around and asked Coach Li, "Coach, did you hear anything? Which team in our server has arranged a training match with FNO? "
Coach Li: "I didn't hear anything. Training matches are arranged privately."
Zhou Jiawen analyzed carefully. "It can't be Jing Zhe or Ice Spirits. These two teams have just finished the finals. They must be taking a break to prepare for the World Championship. Among the remaining teams, Tianheng's mid laner, Qujiang, can't beat Mitchell in a solo match, so Mitchell wouldn't be so agitated. Yueying's mid laner is also a tool … "
He paused. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "It's Northern Shepherd!"
Coach Li thought carefully and immediately nodded. "That's right. Northern Shepherd's mid laner retired this year. No one knows who their mid laner will be next season. Could it be that they paid a high price to sign a strong mid laner? "
Zhou Jiawen: "That's possible. Mitchell said that there's a boss in the Chinese server. If Northern Shepherd signed a strong mid laner who can match Mitchell, then Northern Shepherd will indeed be a boss next season. "
Coach Li immediately opened the official Weibo of "Northern Shepherd eSports Club".
There was no news about the new mid laner on the official Weibo, but there was one post. "Thank you Northern Shepherd -Feng for your contributions to the Northern Shepherd team over the years. Feng has played with the team for three years. Now that he has chosen to retire, although we are very reluctant, we respect his decision. I hope that after Ah Feng leaves Northern Shepherd, everything goes smoothly and his future will be bright. "
It was a very official farewell. There were tens of thousands of comments below, all of them saying goodbye to this veteran player.
Coach Li: "Northern Shepherd is very good at both sides. If they get a strong mid laner, it will be difficult for them next season! I wonder who they signed? "
Zhou Jiawen smiled and closed the chat window with Mitchell. "Looks like we have to train our players in advance. We can't fall behind."

Northern Shepherd team base.
Zhao Xinan sneezed three times in a row. He rubbed his nose and said, "Damn, why do I feel like someone is scolding me?"
Zhao Xinping looked at him. "It's already rare that you don't scold others. Why would someone scold you?"
Zhao Xinan smiled and scratched his head. "Hasn't the new mid laner been decided yet? S10 is almost here. If the new mid laner doesn't come, how are we going to train? "
He couldn't help but complain in a low voice. "It's all my fault for being so stupid. I sent Xiao Bai's video in the group. Otherwise, Xiao Bai wouldn't have been taken away! If only we could sign him, sigh … "
Zhao Xinping said calmly, "Xiao Bai's style might not be suitable for our team. Don't complain here every day. He's streaming for two hours a day now. It's very likely that he signed with a second-tier team and has started training with the team. "
Zhao Xinan said, "Oh right, isn't Northern Shepherd's second team going to participate in this year's Silver Dragon Cup? Maybe we can meet Xiao Bai's team! The second and third-tier teams are definitely going to the Silver Dragon Cup. "
He couldn't help but sigh. "What a pity! He signed with a second-tier team and can only play in the cup! If he signed with Northern Shepherd, he might be able to play in the starting lineup next season. "
After all, Xiao Bai was the first talent that Zhao Xinan discovered.
He felt very unhappy that he signed with another team in the end.
At this moment, the Northern Shepherd coach suddenly walked into the training room and approached the siblings. He said with a smile, "Let me tell you a piece of good news. Our manager is very resourceful. He has contacted a world-class mid laner in the European division and is talking about a transfer!"
Zhao Xinping's expression was still calm. "Let's talk about it after it's settled. There's no need to be happy too early."
Zhao Xinan's eyes lit up. "Who is it from the European division?!"
The Northern Shepherd coach said a name in a low voice.
The siblings looked at each other. Zhao Xinping said thoughtfully, "If he joins Northern Shepherd, we won't have any weaknesses in the top, middle, and bottom lanes."
Zhao Xinan said excitedly, "That's great. Can we aim for the world championship next season?!"
The Northern Shepherd coach said, "The club has invested a lot in signing him. However, the transfer window for the European division and the Chinese division hasn't officially opened yet. We'll go through the procedures immediately after the first round of transfers in December. His visa has been settled. If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to return to China in December for training. "
There were only two months left until S10.
Tianhuan Squad wasn't the only team that was making good use of the time to train. The other teams were also carefully preparing for the next season.
Whether it was signing some strong players to increase their strength, internal adjustments, or replacement of personnel …
The competition for the next season was far more intense than they had imagined.

Tianhuan's training entered the third phase — targeted training.
Currently, the rhythm of the mid lane and jungler was the same. Qin Yizhu and Qujiang also had a tacit understanding. However, after this period of training, the coaching team realized that when the five of them played together, it was easy to fall apart.
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang's rhythm was too fast. If their teammates couldn't keep up with them, when they met a strong team, it would be a tragedy of one of them dying and one of them getting a free pass. No matter how good they were, they couldn't go 2v5.
As for the bottom lane, Cheng Xing was Tianhuan's most obvious weakness at the moment. It wasn't that he was too weak, but that he lacked experience in competitions. It was easy for junglers and mid laners to gank him. His ability to protect himself was still not enough.
In the top lane, Qin Yizhu was a player who played by the rules. He didn't have many weaknesses, and there weren't many highlights. In the top lane, Gu 'er spent most of his time watching the show. When he joined a team, his control skills were quite good. He could seamlessly link up with Qujiang's support control skills. However, to attack the opposing team's backline? He wasn't very good at such a violent top lane style.
However, sometimes, playing by the rules wasn't a good thing — it could become an opening for the opposing team. Once they encountered teams like Beimu and Yueying, who were particularly strong in the flanks, Qin Yizhu might not be able to hold on.
Therefore, the next special training targeted the top and bottom lanes.
The first was Cheng Xing's ability to protect himself, and the second was Qin Yizhu's ability to withstand pressure. The training method was simple — let Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang team up to catch them.
After that, every night after 22: 00 PM became the Tianhuan Squad's "nightmare time."
At 2200-2300, Ye Shaoyang would challenge Team 2's mid laner, Xie Xiaotian, to let him feel the pressure of facing a top mid laner. Xie Xiaotian: "I basically don't dare to leave the tower. Even if I don't leave the tower, I'll still be killed by Brother Yang."
Chi Shuo would enter 5v5 mode with Team 2's jungler. The four AI's would play other positions, and the two of them would fight in the jungle. Qin Sui: "When I went over to take a look, the jungle was empty. My heart also felt cold!"
After educating Team 2's children, Team 1 began their internal training.
From 23: 00 PM until 1: 00 AM, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang team up to catch Cheng Xing and Qujiang, or to catch the top laner, Qin Yizhu.
Qin Yizhu usually liked to put a plate of walnuts next to the computer during training. Ever since he was frequently ganked by the two big devils, he didn't have time to eat walnuts for the entire night!
The pressure was too great. He was easily killed by the jungler and mid laner.
It was useless even if he immediately used Flash after seeing them. The two of them were very fierce and wanted to kill him! Other combinations were also very difficult to fight. Illusionist + stealthy Thief? Saint Soul Sorcerer + King of Fighters?
Qin Yizhu had been playing games for so many years, but the number of times he died was not as many as the number of times he was killed by Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang in the past few days. It was as if the "top laner can't hold the lane" had become "the top laner can't hold the lane."
Cheng Xing?
That was even worse.
The bottom laner's development path had directly become the path to hell — hell mode could be activated at any time.
The top laner was at least thick-skinned. When he was caught, he could occasionally struggle at death's door and escape. Archers were very fragile to begin with. If he was hit by the explosive power of the top laner and the jungler, he wouldn't be able to survive even if he had two lives!
Under the circumstances where the support tried to protect Cheng Xing, Cheng Xing was repeatedly killed by the two devils. He died in various ways. The computer screen kept turning black … Cheng Xing was about to become autistic.
Dad, I really want to go home. This game is so hard to play. I was killed by Master and Brother Yang together. I can't even walk anymore!
Later, when he saw Ye Shaoyang appear, Cheng Xing was so scared that he used Flash.
He even used Flash to crash into the wall.
Ye Shaoyang: "…"
The child was scared silly. His psychological quality was still not strong enough.
What should I do? Then I'll kill him a few more times.
…
Time passed very quickly as they trained day after day. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November.
The international competition officially started. The teams representing China, Ice Soul and Jing Zhe, headed to Paris, the host city of this year's international competition. The teams that didn't get a place in the international competition were also paying attention to this grand competition in China.
At the same time, the Silver Dragon Cup started. Tianheng Team 2 went to Chengdu to participate in the competition under the leadership of Yan Bin.
Team 2 went to participate in the Silver Dragon Cup. The main team couldn't practice 5v5. Thus, Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang continued to press Cheng Xing to the ground and torture him. Cheng Xing died dozens of times a day. Qujiang considerately made a "100 Ways to Die of Cheng Xing" video for him as a memento.
In the video, Cheng Xing was killed by the Lord of the Abyss, the Illusionist, the Stealthed Bandit, the Blood-Clothed Assassin … More than 50 mid-laners and junglers were killed in different ways.
Qujiang was a little expert in editing. The special effects of the video were very interesting.
It was also accompanied by very sad music.
Cheng Xing: "…"
Brother Qu, you don't have to!
I'm only a teenager. Your music is like attending my funeral!
