The three-day vacation has gone by in a blink of an eye, and JT has already entered into an intensive training schedule. Starting next week, the top 12 will advance to the top eight. JT will qualify first in the group, so there is no need to compete in the top eight to ensure that he can stay in the hotel for those two days. Watch other people play.
Fu Yanqing's hand was already scabbed, but it still hurt when he exerted himself. He gave up after playing two games of ranking, just in time to rest his old shoulder. Although Qiao Yu's injury is not as serious as Fu Yanqing's, it will still affect her operation after all, and she was also a little out of shape after playing several training games. The knockout rounds were imminent again, and the two substitutes were visibly nervous. Even Qiao Yu couldn't stand the intensity of the training, but there was nothing they could do.
Zoe now stays at the base every day, not daring to show a trace of frustration in front of the players. She turns around and complains to Jam in the conference room about why luck is never on JT's side.
Jam has a good attitude: "There is no such thing as luck or not. Our players never rely on luck. Wherever they can win, every step counts."
Zoe looked at Jam, and sometimes wanted to ask her if she regretted retiring. After all, as a female player with the highest commercial value in the industry, if she continues to play, there is no way to stay in front of the scene.
But he didn't ask, because the Japanese team called to schedule a training match, which would start this afternoon.
There are five Japanese teams entering the top 12 this year, one Korean team, and the remaining six are mainland teams. Among all Japanese teams, SAR needless to say, JT has already played against each other. As the IJL champion team, SAR this year After changing the members, it was obviously beyond their capabilities.
It’s really surprising that the Korean team entered the top 12. They are considered a half-private team, and their expenses are entirely dependent on a rich second-generation man in the team who loves Identity 5. His strength is unknown, but his mental state is crazy. He played in the group stage. At that time, a group of people cosplayed witches and believers, belonging to the band.
In the mainland division, in addition to the two private teams KING and Tiger, WCG and SUN should not be underestimated. The remaining team is also an old team, Jam's old club Zhan Feng, the new supervisor is young and energetic, and there is no one who is a dark horse. Blockable.
The real dark horse is Kirin from the Japanese team. When it first appeared, many netizens wondered how a Japanese team could come up with such a remote Chinese team name. Later I found out that their manager likes Chinese culture and speaks fluent Chinese. After carefully choosing between Qilin and Bai Ze for a long time, I finally decided that the more complicated the characters, the more awesome they looked, so I decided on this team name.
This team was stuck in the qualifiers and advanced in the group stage. It can be called the most ICU team in the entire COA. They rely on supervision and various unique skills to survive. Their image is really abstract, and their unique skills are also real unique skills.
Kirin's Supervisor Alan used his doctor to make a comeback in the preliminaries in the resurrection match. In the group stage, the Survivors also used a little girl to match the Purity Prisoner, which also produced unexpected results. Regardless of supervision or survival, he has extraordinary proficiency in the characters he loves. Spend.
Alan can play Doctor, and also loves Nightmare. Every live broadcast, he cries bitterly over the story of Aoife and Ponyboy. The audience is secretly looking forward to whether Nightmare, the Sun Wall King, will be on the stage this time.
The Japanese team that came to Zoe for a training match was Qilin. Their entire team had an inexplicable yearning for JT. When Fu Yanqing was injured, the manager even ordered several bouquets of flowers, but they were mixed with a bouquet of white and yellow chrysanthemums. Zoe does not comment on the aesthetics of her Japanese friends.
There are advantages to scheduling a training match. On the one hand, the survivors can get a feel for Qilin's supervision's gaming habits, and on the other hand, it also gives Juice some training. After all, her experience in competitions is really close to zero.
The arrangement for the training match was that Qiao Yu would go up first, and Qiao Yu would go first in the first round. After entering the room, everyone first saw the picture of the prisoner's big face with bared teeth and a smile on Alan's home screen. Yu Yan couldn't help but sigh: " They really like prisoners.”
In the first training match, the survival team’s lineup was the antique mercenary psychological priest, and Alan took the deer head.
Alan's deer head is as black-hearted as Songsong. He likes to place traps in some inexplicable places and then force the survivors to go over. This often has surprising results. In the first minute of the game, Zhang Chanyue's priest was sent to the chair first. , and turned twice around the priest.
After turning around, she swung the hook to hook the antique dealer who came to save him. Qiao Yu reacted quickly and directly used the stick. However, she was hit by a knife before she could use the stick. After rescuing the priest, she added another stick, and the priest hit him. He drilled a hole through the wall into the church and was hit again.
Zhang Chanyue: "Holy shit."
The first three-game training match was over. Zoe and Jam recorded some details to prepare for a review. Zifan went up to play the second game, and Qiao Yu came to the conference room.
Fu Yanqing was also watching the video in the conference room. He felt that Qiao Yu was not in a high mood, so he squeezed Qiao Yu's fingers: "Are you tired? Drink some water first."
Qiao Yu blamed herself for her two empty sticks in the late game. Although she didn't show it too much on her face, she still cared about it in her heart. After all, her antique dealer rarely made such a big mistake. In the end, if it weren't for the mercenary Wushang The rescue continued, and it was a four-catch game.
Qiao Yu has been playing professionally for half a year. At this time, she has to admit that no one is a god and no player can really make zero mistakes, including herself.
She is in the command position and is also responsible for the control of the OB. Any mistake will be fatal.
This is the biggest difference between Identity V and other competitive games. Like the KPL or LPL next door, there is a certain error tolerance rate. If you don’t play well in this wave, you will still have a chance to make a comeback in the next wave. But Identity V only needs one mistake. If you give it away, the situation will change drastically.
No matter how big the strength gap between professional players is, it won't really be that big. The competition is about who makes fewer mistakes.
On the other hand, Zifan has already played. This training match is the first time he has played a more formal game with his teammates. He is still a little nervous, but the prospector's performance is pretty good and satisfactory. For him, it is not a hindrance. Just win.
Juice was also playing at the same time. Kirin's team members seemed to be really serious about training. They took two machine repair positions in the first one. They wanted to kick the machine away. The mechanics also showed off a show. In the opera The hand almost ran away. In the second round, four more strong restraints were obtained. The antique forward Prospecting Air Force was troublesome to pursue in the first place. Their players had little psychological pressure and performed very well. Except for a wave in Prospecting that bumped their teammates into the supervisor's face, they were basically in trouble. There are no mistakes.
After a training match, another wave of pressure was put on JT.
Juice's problem is actually not a big problem. Her supervision is at the level of a normal professional player. However, it is a bit difficult for a team that can run a team to make a lot of money. They don't dare to charge and they often keep draws. This requires JT's team to be strong. Taking on the task of making more money, they could rely on Fu Yanqing to make more money before, but now they have to stand up on their own.
Kirin was as friendly as ever. After the training match, they even called Zoe to invite JT to a restaurant near the venue. Zoe's official tone was sincere and polite. Although she refused, Kirin was also very happy.
The review meeting lasted for more than four hours that night. Although Jam had a Buddhist attitude towards Zoe of "whatever you hit will be treated as such", he was not polite at all in the review output and was strict with everyone equally. During this period Fu Yanqing's little Corgi kept holding the door open, trying to get in, and Jam was determined to get in.
The next week will be high-intensity training. I also have a training match with WCG in the middle, and then review and train again. The base is like a high-pressure furnace. The little egg doesn’t dare to run around anymore. It can only be done when the aunt takes it out for a walk. Run wildly for a short while. This year's finals were held at a venue in Jinyang. At the beginning of the competition week, all teams had to fly to Jinyang. Before leaving, Fu Yanqing went to see Dr. Liu for a follow-up consultation, and then took a look at Tony. Tony's physical condition was getting worse and worse. Well, when Fu Yanqing went to see him, he was already unable to move on the bed. He had a tube inserted and told Fu Yanqing that he could watch the live broadcast.
Everyone arrived at the hotel one day in advance. Zoe followed the strategy of to hell with the textbooks and everything since they were in the exam room. She took everyone to have a good meal first. Juice and Zifan had rarely relaxed for a while during this time, and they all had a good meal. He didn't raise any eyebrows, the other team members were similar, and they ate the meal in silence and satisfaction.
Fu Yanqing is the most leisurely person. She is a substitute in this knockout round and will hardly play. She is responsible for relieving Qiao Yu's psychological pressure every day. But in fact, Qiao Yu sometimes sees Fu Yanqing secretly practicing on her own when she goes to the tea room. .
She would be irritated because her hands couldn't keep up with her consciousness, and sometimes she would curse and curse, with a sigh of a strong person being helpless in the face of fate, which was also very astringent from a certain perspective.
On the night they arrived in Jinyang, Qiao Yu received another message from Xu Chengxiu.
In fact, she had already deleted and blocked all Xu Chengxiu's contact information. As for Chen Liang, although he had nothing to do and had no ambition, he had a sense of shame and did not dare to take the initiative to contact Qiao Yu, so Qiao Yu did not delete them.
Xu Chengxiu sent a text message to Qiao Yu from an unknown number. She knew that she would be competing in Jinyang soon and wanted to see Qiao Yu.
After Qiao Yu reported to Zoe, everyone in the team became very nervous. Zoe insisted on finding two assistants to follow Qiao Yu, but Qiao Yu couldn't resist. She ordered coffee for the assistant at another table in Xu Chengxiu's coffee shop, and herself Sitting opposite Xu Chengxiu.
After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Xu Chengxiu looked very old to the naked eye. Without those gorgeous packaging and support, she was just an ordinary woman in her time.
Xu Chengxiu didn't know how to talk to Qiao Yu, so he greeted her in an official tone before turning to the formal topic.
Xu Chengxiu: "Yuyu... what happened before was all because my aunt was sorry for you. I really didn't know that those loan sharks were so rampant. Fortunately, you were not seriously injured, otherwise..."
When Qiao Yu heard this, she sneered lightly, and Xu Chengxiu felt as if she had been slapped by Ling Kong.
With tears in her eyes, Xu Chengxiu took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Qiao Yu: "Yuyu, this is the money my aunt borrowed for you before. My aunt sold all the dowry, you must accept it...you It was so hard when you were a child, and there was really nothing your aunt could do about it. Now that you have grown up, you want to make up for it but don’t know what you are missing..."
I don't lack anything, Qiao Yu thought expressionlessly.
What Xu Chengxiu is doing now is just because Chen Bin can't deal with the matter anymore, so he just breaks the pot and breaks it. Chen Bin is going to jail anyway. She wants to please Qiao Yu, and with Qiao Yu's character, she might help them in the future.
Jinyang has to play several college games in winter, and it is the same now. The snow outside is several centimeters thick, with sparse snowflakes still floating.
Qiao Yu spoke softly: "Auntie, I have only seen wounds twice in my life."
The first time was the gentle kindergarten teacher. Unfortunately, the teacher was also an inexperienced student, so he had no way of noticing or saving her.
The second time was the aunt who seemed to be strong-willed. In fact, she was almost successful at that time. The aunt agreed to take her for an injury assessment and get her custody rights. Unfortunately, they couldn't do without Qiao's father's connections. In the end, the two sides The choice was to choose the glory and wealth of my own family.
Xu Chengxiu knew what she was talking about and what happened in the past. He felt very guilty at the time. Unfortunately, people's sincerity is often time-sensitive. So many years later, Xu Chengxiu still threatened people around him for money, and even used his own photos to Make a bet.
This is understandable. Xu Chengxiu has his own home and family, and Qiao Yu is just a valuable outsider.
Those family ties were not given before, and of course they are worthless now.
After Qiao Yu said this, she ignored Xu Chengxiu's tearful eyes and looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the store. Fu Yanqing leaned on the car and stared at this side. Fine snow fell on her hair. A small floor was built, just like before.
Look, someone will always be waiting for you.
Qiao Yu smiled, stood up, and said politely: "We don't need to contact you anymore, aunt. It's snowing and the road is slippery, so be careful when you go back."
