Don't call me a cookie [eSports]

After finally finishing the day's training, Xia Ran was so exhausted that he collapsed on the bed as soon as he entered the room.

My mind was blank at first, and then I gradually thought about the past few days:

During training, Yan Yi's short but real low laugh was a signal that he was willing to make peace with himself?

After being ridiculous, he still didn't say a word to himself...

After repeatedly affirming and denying himself, Xia Ran finally picked up his phone and opened WeChat:

Otherwise, ask him?

He flipped through his message column for a long time, and felt that he was almost at the end of the page, only to see the word "Yan Yi".

This means that after I added WeChat with him, I haven't chatted with him until now...

This made him so entangled that he clicked in for a while, and quit for a while, and repeated it several times.

If I take the initiative to contact him now, wouldn't it be the same as "bow down" to him?

And if I sent him a message and he didn't reply to me, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

So a certain "little kid" who wanted to lose face quickly quit the chat interface.

but……

After hesitating for 5 minutes, Xia Ran finally thought of a compromise——

Take a look at his circle of friends.

Maybe he said something in the circle of friends, after reading it, he also has a bottom line in his heart.

After finding this reasonable excuse, Xia Ran finally satisfied his curiosity, and couldn't wait to open Yan Yi's circle of friends...

Nothing!

Yan Yi never posted a post!

Xia Ran thought: After all, Yan Yi is someone who doesn't even bother to go to Weibo, maybe WeChat is just a decoration for him.

However, he found that the background picture of Yan Yi's circle of friends was an anime picture of Sun Bin in the game.

The natal hero of the jungle position is actually Sun Bin?

After another two days of Lianmai training, Xia Ran finally met Yan Yi at the competition.

Today they are going to fight against the DE team, after Xia Ran and Rong Mo and the others first arrived at the team lounge in the guild hall, Yan Yi opened the door and came in alone.

As soon as he sat down, the atmosphere in the lounge changed.

Rong Mo and Brother Hao talked more tacitly, and they seemed to forbid the air in the room to be silent for a second.

There were three people between him and Yan Yi, Xia Ran sat and listened to their chat, but didn't speak.

He just looked at Yan Yi's face quietly from the corner of his eyes from time to time.

Why is the captain wearing glasses today, it looks more distant...

Suddenly, Yan Yi stood up: "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

Xia Ran, who was peeking at him, reflexively followed him and stood up abruptly.

Fuck, I also stood up...

Just as he was repenting, he heard Rong Mo ask:

"Sweetie, what's wrong with you?"

"Uh... I'm going to the bathroom!"

Xia Ran casually found a reason, and hurried out of the lounge first.

As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw Yang Shaoze walking towards him.

He also found that when the door behind him slammed, Yan Yi also came out...

"Sweet biscuit, what a coincidence, I just happened to find you on something."

With a smile on his face, Yang Shaoze walked up to Xia Ran.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Xia Ran replied casually, but in fact, all his attention was on Yan Yi behind him.

Yang Shaoze was about to speak——

"Excuse me."

A deep and cold voice sounded behind him, and Xia Ran saw Yan Yi walking between himself and Yang Shaoze...

Yang Shaoze continued to say:

"I heard that Liao Yuan bullied you recently, I will help you get it back later."

But Xia Ran didn't listen to what he said at all, waved his hand and turned back to the lounge.

Erha: "Sweet Cookie, why did you come back so soon?"

"Um……"

He responded in a low voice, found a place to sit down at random, feeling bored for a while.

When he first met him, he also said "excuse me" to himself.

So, Yan Yi now treats herself as a stranger?

He was sitting on the sofa in a daze when suddenly his legs went numb.

Looking down, it was a WeChat message from the mobile phone.

When he picked it up, the phone screen was on——

[Lin Ying: I know it's not easy for you to endure, but you really can't protect him anymore, you have to give him a chance to grow. 】

After accidentally seeing it, Xia Ran realized that the phone was not his own, but Yan Yi's.

Then, there was another inexplicable sourness in my heart:

There is actually someone who can protect Yan Yi...

Male commentator: "Okay, welcome to the scene of the match between TL and DE. Now the players of both teams have entered the field one after another."

Female commentator: "Then today's game was pretty good. I remember that DE's Pu'er posted a photo of himself with the cookies on Weibo. In the interview video before the regular season, DE's Werewolf also said that he would fight The cookies are ranking up together, it seems that the two teams have a good relationship in private."

Male commentator: "Yes, but even if we are friends off the court, on the court it is a battle of war. Now the two sides are shouting slogans. After shouting, we will enter the BP link!"

"As long as there are chicken legs in the meal, who will our sweet cakes be afraid of!"

After the team's slogan was finished, Xia Ran listened carefully, knowing that Yan Yi still didn't make a sound this time...

Then there is the BP link——

The tactical core of the DE team is the jungler Yang Shaoze, and the strength of the other players is basically the middle level in the league, so Rong Mo first banned the version hero Ming Shiyin, and wanted to ban the version jungler and Yang Shaoze's specialty hero.

And DE directly bans Luna in seconds.

Then, there was a burst of regret in the audience of TL.

The male commentator looked at it: "Haha, the fans are also very desperate. They really want to see the provocative Luna, but since the provocative Luna Tianxiu was used in the qualifiers, I haven't seen any team dare to put Luna. give him."

BP continued. In the second round, Rong Mo pulled the version jungler Li Yuanfang, while DE banned Han Xin.

The male commentator smiled helplessly for Yan Yi again:

"I remember that when TL played LHG a few days ago, Han Xin was used to tease God. That day we also said that this hero is no longer strong, and in the later stage, he can only play containment and lead the line. In the end, Han Xin used "one-shot style" Han Xin to tease God Got four kills."

Female commentator: "So, it is not unreasonable for DE to ban Han Xin in order to make himself better."

Rong Mo looked at the other party's forbidden method, and saw that Yang Shaoze was still sitting opposite, and said casually:

"Tsk tsk tsk, you won't be able to give Yan Yi all the three positions on the opposite side, right? In this case, all four of your best junglers will be banned."

After hearing this, Xia Ran immediately turned to look at Yan Yi, and found that he didn't even frown...

Then, in the last pull, Rong Mo finally banned Yang Shaoze's signature hero, Li Bai, and DE, as always, used a second ban to get rid of Na Ke Lulu.

As a result, there was another discussion in the audience.

Male commentator: "Wow, I originally thought that DE would restrain the middle unit of the cookie at the end, but I didn't expect that all three positions will be used on the signature hero of the forbidden god."

Female commentator: "Let me put the lid on the pot and say that DE's switch position is obviously aimed at provoking God. It seems that their tactics today are very clear, which is to prevent TL from playing a strong wild core system in the early stage."

Rong Mo already had a premonition: "Haha, by accident, all five of your best junglers have been banned. It seems that this day has come."

Before Xia Ran could understand what she meant, she heard Lao Sun say:

"It's okay, our captain is not a hero pool but a hero sea, any hero can calm the scene."

"No, Yan Yi can play many heroes, but the ones who are proficient are those five junglers. It seems that he can only use Lian Po as a jungler today."

Rong Mo held back a smile and said.

"what?!"

As a result, the audience saw Brother Hao, Lao Sun and Erha jumping directly from the contestant seats...

Xia Ran saw that Brother Hao and the others were really panicked, and couldn't hold back and said:

"You believe it?"

He doesn't believe it anyway.

Back then, when the two played live in double row every day, he saw that Yan Yi had used Guan Yu as a jungler, but in the end he didn't carry the whole audience.

"Haha, for Yan Yi, 'knowing how to play' means someone else's level of proficiency, everyone can rest assured, everyone can rest assured."

After explaining, Rong Mo changed the subject:

"But to be honest, we still know Yan Yi well."

"Hey, that makes sense."

The teammates also booed, Xia Ran only felt a heat in his ears...

At this moment, the system sound reminding them that they can choose a hero happened to sound.

"Hit seriously, don't joke around."

Yan Yi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said suddenly.

Xia Tian was stunned.

He felt that Yan Yi now looked like a captain, and he was a fair and strict captain who didn't want to have anything to do with him.

No one noticed that Xia Tian burned strangely.

Rong Mo: "Okay, okay, let's stop joking, choose a hero and choose a hero."

……

After TL had selected the first three floors, Rong Mo asked his jungler and mid laner for their opinions:

"It's just the two of you, let's see what to choose?"

Xia Ran: "Elder Sister, just choose one that can match the first three floors, I can play it."

Lao Sun: "After all, our team's mid laner is also a sea of ​​heroes."

Rong Mo: "What about you, Yan Yi?"

Yan Yi looked at the lineup on the first three floors and said, "Take Gongsunli."

Rong Mo: "The heroine whose legs are not as long as mine?"

Team members: "...you seem to be teasing me."

When Gongsunli first came out, they saw Yan Yi playing a few games, and when he played in the later stage, the damage was scary.

So Rong Mo is also relieved: "All right, all right, Gongsunli's development time is relatively long, so you can choose Diao Chan for the sweet cake. If this is the case, we will be invincible in the later stage."

Xia Ran nodded: "OK."

So the BP link ended, and DE chose Baili Shouyue, Baili Xuance, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang, and Su Lie;

TL targets Lu Bu, Sun Bin, Meng Qi, Diao Chan and Gongsun Li.

The explanation naturally needs to analyze this wave——

Male commentator: "Wow wow wow that's amazing, TL is using Gongsunli's punishment skills, which means that Gongsunli is going to be used as a jungler in this round of teasing?"

Female commentator: "I think it's pretty close, and Gongsunli is a new hero who has only recently launched in the game. This should be the first show of this hero on our KPL stage!"

Male commentator: "Actually, Gongsunli is a shooter in the game, so I am looking forward to the effect of using her as a jungler. In addition, Gongsunli has multiple displacement skills. If you use displacement reasonably, you can also be like Lu. Na showed it off like that."

The female commentator's painting style changed suddenly: "And today Liaoshen is wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Fortunately, I have enough paper."

The male commentator and the audience immediately: "Huh?!"

Female commentator: "Ahem, it's for wiping saliva, don't think too much about it."

The male commentator brought the topic back:

"In addition to Gongsunli, we also need to pay attention to Diao Chan and Pu'er's Xuan Ce. Diao Chan is undoubtedly one of the most capable heroes in the Canyon of Kings; as for Xuan Ce, he has recently used a very strong catch. The canyon is famous for its human ability, and the ability of these two heroes to control the battlefield is still great."

Female commentator: "That's right, let's stop talking nonsense and immediately enter the first game of TL vs. DE!"

At the beginning, the canyon was not very smooth.

DE knew that what he got was the early lineup, so Baili Shouyue, Su Lie and Cao Cao directly invaded TL's wild area at the first level.

As for Yan Yi, only Brother Hao's Lu Bu was playing blue with him. When the three people from the opposite side came over, they fought for the blue buff.

Old Sun, who was near the wild area, asked, "Captain, are we coming over?"

Yan Yi: "Our lineup has no advantage in the first-tier regiment, and you three-way guys stay on the line and withdraw troops. Brother Hao, we only take blue, and develop first in the early stage."

Brother Hao: "Understood."

Gongsunli's damage is not high in the early stage, and her body is extremely fragile. Only when she and Diao Chan are both developed can they fight with the opponent.

Xia Ran remembered that Yan Yi said that other people stayed in the lane to develop, so he didn't dare to attack rashly after collecting troops, so he could only stay in the middle, and from time to time move the screen to the wild area to see Yan Yi's situation.

Fortunately, when the three people on the opposite side were playing Lan, Yan Yi and Brother Hao harassed him from time to time. After pulling out the blue buff with residual blood, Yan Yi decisively used punishment to keep Lan.

However, during this period, his Gongsunli was ground below half blood by the opponent, and Yan Yi was forced to return to the city, which delayed some early development time.

Seeing that the early invasion had some effect, DE relied on his high level of candor, and under the condition of a good view, the jungler and the support often stayed in the grass of the river.

But after all, Gongsunli's three skills all have displacement effects. With Yan Yi maintaining a high degree of vigilance, DE's plan to arrest people has temporarily failed.

However, the gank on the opposite side still affected Yan Yi's normal development to a certain extent. In the past, he could always bring up the team's offensive rhythm after playing in the jungle position, but today he was harassed by the opponent and he was a bit out of control.

The opponent made up their minds to catch Gongsunli to death. At 3 minutes into the game, DE's Baili Xuance, Su Lie, Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang worked together to seal off his four positions before finally getting out from him. Got "First Blood".

[First Blood! 】

When the system sound sounded, there was an uproar!

Xia Ran's hands trembled, almost missing a soldier.

Then he heard the male commentator say excitedly:

"It seems that DE has seen through that the current TL is a wild nuclear system, so it is determined to target the provocative god to death."

For death...

This word made Xia Ran feel harsh.

Because they have many heroes in the later stage, they still focus on stable development at this stage.

But DE repeated the old trick, and repeatedly the four of them teamed up to besiege Gongsunli who was alone, causing Xia Ran to hear the system sound of Yan Yi being killed by the opponent from time to time——

[Anally has been plained! 】

For the first time, he found this voice extremely annoying.

It's not enough to draw three heroes on the opposite side, and it's not enough to disrupt the development of invasion in the early stage. Now four people are ganking one after another, and the captain is alone...

What a fucking deception!

The more Xia Ran thinks about it, the more he feels depressed, he just feels that there is a big stone on his heart, and he will feel uncomfortable if he can't help Yan Yi get this debt back from DE!

He saw that Zhuge Liang, who was facing him in the middle, was nowhere to be seen, and he guessed that he should go back to the wild to get blue, so he moved to the DE blue buff area without hesitation.

When Yan Yi moved his vision to the middle, he happened to discover Xia Ran's intention:

"Retreat in the middle!"

Xia Ran didn't stop operating, insisting on going his own way.

At the same time, there was a sound in the competition venue——

"The TL team applied for a suspension of the game."

It was Yan Yi who pressed the "Apply for Pause" button.

After the referee quickly nodded and passed, Yan Yi unplugged his and Xia Ran's game earphones, dragged Xia Ran from his position and brought him to the backstage...

Until entering the team lounge, Yan Yi slammed the door shut, clasped Xia Ran's wrist, and pressed him firmly between himself and the wall: "Xia Ran, can you not get on top!"

He almost blurted out:

"I'm not on top! I just can't see them targeting you like this!"

Yan Yi was taken aback, and his tone softened:

"When is Diao Chan's dominant period?"

Xia Ran answered him: "About 10 minutes after the game starts."

"When will you be able to fight three?"

"If the development conditions are good, after 10 minutes of the game."

"Before you went to their wild area just now, did you ask us about the vision there?"

"I forgot……"

"Just now, three people from DE were in that wild area, and a Diao Chan who didn't carry the blue buff passed by. What do you think your chances of winning are?"

"I……"

Xia Ran's answer became more and more empty. Only when he calmed down did he realize that the game had only lasted 7 minutes, and he hadn't even made the first big piece of equipment...

"I shouldn't ask you these questions now, but when you decide to attack, you should think about it carefully."

Yan Yi looked at him and sighed lightly:

"So, you were at the top just now."

He really suddenly realized:

"I understand……"

Not only just now, but also in the match against LHG...

He knew that now was not the time to feel depressed and guilty, he had to win today's game beautifully first:

"Captain, I really understand, let's go back and finish the game now."

He took the initiative to hold Yan Yi's wrist, and dragged Yan Yi who was half a head taller than him to the field...

After they left, the auditorium immediately exploded, and there were constant discussions in the venue.

So when the male commentator watched them finally return to the game stand, it was like seeing a savior:

"Okay, okay, now our cookies and teasers are back, the game will continue, everyone can concentrate on watching the game."

Brother Hao and the others were also in a hurry:

"Are you all right?"

"it's okay no problem."

Xia Ran hurriedly explained: "What happened before, right..."

Old Sun interrupted him:

"Hey, stop, stop, those three words will hurt your feelings."

Erha: "That's right, just concentrate on playing the game now."

Xia Ran put on the competition earphones: "Okay!"

The game continues-

The first thing Xia Ran did when he entered the game was to withdraw Diao Chan to the middle tower.

Yan Yi was right, he had to hold his breath and wait until Diao Chan's dominant period before exerting his strength.

On Yan Yi's side, they still faced the occasional siege of three or four DE people.

But he has already thought of the tactics to deal with it:

"If the other side comes to catch me, you all leave me alone, take this opportunity to develop and push towers to invade the wild area, and I will come to support you when I find an opportunity."

"understand!"

The team members knew that the captain was trustworthy, so after Yan Yi gave the order, although they didn't understand it, they were all willing to follow it.

Then, they discovered that this style of play actually allowed them to gradually regain their rhythm——

Yan Yi: "Three people are on the way to me, I will hold them back, and you guys will drive Xiaolong."

Relying on Gongsunli's light mobility, when Yan Yi used his skills to get involved with them, the tyrant was successfully accepted by Xia Ran and the others.

"They squatted me in the wild area, you can push the mid lane tower."

Yan Yi deliberately made the illusion that he was going to enter the wild area, and while DE's people squatted in the grass, at the same time, the first tower in the middle lane fell and was pushed away by TL.

"The opponents are all in the lower half of the wild, you go against the wild in the upper half."

Yan Yi used Gongsunli's skill to explore the way, and immediately returned to the spot after being seen by DE people. After attracting their attention, the upper half of DE's wild area was completely cleared.

……

The two commentators also found that the situation on the field had changed——

Female commentator: "DE is a bit overwhelmed now. TL's other lanes have developed easily, and the provocative spirit has not been completely targeted to death, but I have lost part of my resources, which is a bit of a loss."

Male commentator: "What's more, what I didn't expect was that the game of teasing the gods is simply a sacrificial style of play. To put it bluntly, it means sacrificing yourself to block all the firepower of the opponent for the entire team. It also gave teammates a chance to develop.”

Female commentator: "Actually, recently, there has definitely been a lot of comments on the Internet about Liaoshen and TL. As the captain, I think the pressure will definitely not be small."

Male commentator: "Actually... Let me tell the truth now, fans of each family can spray me if they want to."

"Because the higher the degree of attention, the higher the hatred value absorbed, and this is also the case in the arena."

"Liaoshen was the core of the team in the qualifiers, and his performance was too impressive. As a result, TL is playing the game now, and the opposing team will definitely give priority to targeting him."

"Hey, after all, shoot the first bird."

Shoot the bird in the head...

Xia Ran more or less heard the explanation.

He remembered what Lin Zheng and the others had said to him a few days ago——

"Shoot your head, you can easily be targeted by other teams."

At this moment, he finally understood why Yan Yi was angry after that match;

After understanding what he said that day, why did Yan Yi leave the base.

Yan Yi will definitely not be ignorant of the truth that "a tree grows more beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", so from the moment the team put economic points on him, he has actually endured greater pressure than himself and Brother Hao. , like today.

But it's not just today's game. All the way from the qualifiers until now, I realized that he has been targeted by every team more or less.

In fact, Yan Yi has been using his own way to protect the team going forward.

Not for praise and attention, just for this team.

And I actually became extremely emotional because of a provocative word from my opponent, almost causing the team to lose the game.

And I actually thought that he was angry because he was robbed of the limelight, and said something like that to him...

"We can start a group."

A deep voice came from the earphones, Xia Ran shook his head, and immediately cheered up.

He originally wanted to confirm his current equipment, but when he clicked on it, Yan Yi's economy was actually the highest in the audience!

Being so targeted by the opponent, the mentality has not collapsed and at the same time he can develop, the captain is really much more mature than himself...

In fact, Longkeng is very suitable for TL to play groups.

So Yan Yi said: "All come to Longkeng to gather, and we will force the opposite party to form a group."

"Roger that!"

The dispatch of all TL members immediately attracted DE's attention, and after the five of them formed their formation, Yan Yi pretended to attack Xiaolong.

Of course DE can't sit still, the moment he jumped off the dragon pit to grab the little dragon——

Meng Qi had quietly moved towards the center of the Dragon Pit to store up his big move, and at the same time as the deceleration effect was formed, Lu Bu immediately jumped up, shaking the opponent up, and then connected to the second stage of Meng Qi's big move.

Then, Sun Bin threw a range-based big move with a silence effect. While controlling them to the point where they couldn't take care of themselves, Diao Chan and Gongsunli put out all their strength, and finally used this perfect combo to directly push down the DE crystal with zero for five!

Male commentator: "Congratulations to our TL! I didn't expect to win the game with such a beautiful team battle in such a headwind in the early stage!"

In the next second game, the opponent still gave all three pulls to Yan Yi, and they still targeted Yan Yi in the game.

However, in this round, Xia Ran selected Wu Zetian, who can be controlled remotely. When the opponent came to gank Yan Yi, he used his big move to help Yan Yi's A Ke escape or fight back.

This not only failed to target Yan Yi, but allowed Yan Yi to win a few kills in the early stage, and the whole team ended the second round of the contest in [-] minutes after growing up.

In the end, TL ushered in a four-game winning streak with 2:0.

Xia Ran also won the MVP with the highest KDA score in the two rounds.

However, the parties seem to be reluctant to accept this honor.

Xia Ran asked the staff:

"Someone performed better than me in these two games, can you re-evaluate the MVP?"

The staff shook their heads indifferently.

"Then can I refuse the post-match interview?"

The staff shook their heads indifferently again.

Therefore, Xia Ran had no choice but to turn around and hold Yan Yi's wrist, pull down one side of his body, leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Wait for me, don't leave first this time."

I have something to say to him.
