The King's Return

During this week, Qin Mo's popularity has grown rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Many fans who were disappointed and sad because of his retirement all knew about his injury and re-focused on Qin Mo's recent situation with complicated emotions. , and many people started frantically watching Mojue's games this season.

Qin Mo's Weibo also exploded, and his popularity reached its peak.

Of course, among the new followers on Weibo, apart from his true fans who love him dearly, there are also many passers-by who follow him with sympathy or simply watch a good show. The proportion of these people is not low.Qin Mo doesn't mind that he has become a "gorilla" in the e-sports circle. He has no time to pay attention to the follow-up of the Weibo incident, but devotes all his energy to the preparations before the playoffs.

Unlike the regular season, which only played two rounds, the Mo Jue was a 1:1 draw at worst.The playoffs are to determine the winner, and the loser in the best-of-three format will be eliminated directly. There is no room for the slightest mistake, and it is impossible to give Qin Mo the opportunity to practice tactical coordination.

In the playoffs, we must come up with the strongest tactics and make the most comprehensive preparations in order to be foolproof.

In the second half of the regular season, especially during the two weeks when Xiao Han and Qingyue took over as commanders, Qin Mo was actually reflecting on himself.His commanding performance in the team competition is far inferior to that of the pair and trio competitions. The most important reason is that the more people there are, the more problems need to be considered.

Like the double competition, he doesn't need to think about it, the tacit understanding between him and Xiao Han is almost innate, and Xiao Han will follow up immediately whatever he wants to do.He won the doubles competition in one fell swoop, and he didn't feel tired during the whole process, but enjoyed playing very much.

But he played very tired in the team competition, and as netizens said, he almost became a 1:1 professional.

I have to admit that his current hand speed is far behind Xiao Han, and even lower than Liu Hong and Shen He. During team battles, he must first devote a certain amount of energy to maintaining his state, and don't let himself become a team player. The short board, the rest of the energy is to look at the overall situation and direct the actions of teammates.

With such a distraction, sometimes you will lose sight of the other and not consider comprehensively enough.

Master Ling Xuefeng didn't take care of himself when he commanded team battles back then, because he was strong enough, and fighting at a normal level was enough to scare the opponent.He only needs to focus on the whole situation, and when it's time to make a move, his fingers will naturally move, and the movements are extremely fast and accurate.As his only apprentice, Qin Mo's current tactical awareness and layout ideas are mostly influenced by Ling Xuefeng. Mo Jue's quick fights and quick decisions in team battles also have the violent demeanor of Ling Xuefeng's command.

But as the team competition gradually reached the later stage, Qin Mo found more and more that he had fallen into a misunderstanding from the beginning.

He respects Master very much, and he also approves of Master's style and philosophy, but maybe...

Master's way of thinking may not be suitable for him.

Especially now that he no longer plays Summoner, his hand speed has dropped and replaced him with Swordsman.

Master's set of logic is really easy to use. After all, he has been with Ling Xuefeng for many years, and Qin Mo has completely learned Ling Xuefeng's tactical thinking. Coupled with the admiration for that person in his heart, he will involuntarily imitate him. Commanding style—either a steady and steady defensive counterattack, or a quick fight and quick decision. In fact, people in the circle carefully watched the games directed by Qin Mo, and they must be able to find some shadows of Ling Xuefeng.

If you use key words to describe it, Ling Xuefeng's command style can only be described as "stable" and "explosive".

When it is stable, the opponent can't find a little breakthrough, and can only wait for a slow death.When it exploded, the opponent was stunned, and before he could react, he was crushed like a violent storm.

This is also related to his personality. Ling Xuefeng is a ruthless character in the first place, and his hand speed is world-class. If you fight against him, you are self-torturing. If you want to break through his defense, he can use a lot of pets to walk the dog directly. The kite kills you.

Qin Mo also inherited these two major directions. Mo Jue's "stable" formation is the Iron Triangle defensive formation of Hanmo Kahe, Yue, and Ran; and the "explosive" formation is Han, Mo, Hong, He, Pei A violent formation composed of five outputs.During the entire team competition stage, as long as Qin Mo was in command, Mo Jue used these two formations the most.

In principle, there is nothing wrong with it. Winning in a steady state and violent quick fights are all very conventional tactics.

But in practice, it is not as good as Qin Mo thought.

The commanders of the other teams are not fools, they have already figured out Qin Mo's routine, that's why Li Junru suddenly sent a player with both offensive and defensive skills to catch Qin Mo by surprise, and Su Cheng reversed his thinking to attract the map mobs to block Mo Jue, Only in the middle of the return journey would Qiu Zongping suddenly kill the escort with a carbine and attack...

The comprehensive tactical awareness of these young commanders is definitely not as good as that of Qin Mo, but it is precisely because they know that the chances of winning the Mojue are very small, so they dare to fight and bet.

The so-called "barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes", I gamble, at worst, I will lose as expected, but if I am lucky, I may win.

Qin Mo fell into a lot of pitfalls during the regular season due to the different tactics of the new commanders. Fortunately, after those two weeks of calmness, he has found a way that suits him.

In addition to "stable" and "explosive", he should pay more attention to "new" and "clever".

***

When Qin Mo announced the home lineup against Lihuo, even the rookies in the team who had always admired him were shocked.

In the playoffs, it's not good to take such a risk, right?

Everyone had doubts, but due to their respect and trust in Qin Mo, they didn't dare to speak out.

On the contrary, Qin Mo looked calm and took the initiative to open the topic: "You can't make mistakes in the playoffs. If you have any opinions, just say it."

Shen He boldly raised his hand and said: "We used this lineup to fight Lihuo last time, it seems like we lost?"

Liu Hong said bluntly: "Xiaohe, why are you being so tactful? It doesn't seem like it's really lost."

Her words made the atmosphere in the conference room a lot easier, Shen He also scratched his head with a smile, and said: "Is Master confident in using the lineup that has been lost once?"

The previous match against Lihuo was due to Zhu Qingyue's illness, so Qin Mo brought four rookies into battle and lost to Lihuo at home.But the loss in that game was not a problem with the lineup, but a problem with Qin Mo's thinking. It was also from that round that he found a better way of thinking. Facing Shen He's straightforward question, Qin Mo smiled slightly and said: "I Have confidence."

Shen He immediately said: "Then we also have confidence!"

This idiot's remarks made the meeting room full of laughter again.

After laughing, Li Muran took the initiative to say: "Qin team wants to go pure control flow?"

Qin Mo glanced at him appreciatively. Mu Ran has a keen sense of smell and can understand Qin Mo's meaning instantly. Of course, this is also inseparable from Qin Mo's patient teaching during this period.Nodding to Li Muran, Qin Mo released the PPT and began to explain his thinking. Halfway through the explanation, several teenagers were already full of surprises. At the end, even Zhu Qingyue couldn't help but smile and comment: "I feel that you are so If you hit him, Nie Yuzhu will be beaten to death."

Liu Hongdao: "It's too bad."

Xiao Han also said: "He shouldn't have thought of it, and it was too late to think of it."

The sincere appreciation from his teammates made Qin Mo completely relieved. Although he is the commander, he hopes that his ideas can be truly recognized by everyone-I listen to you because I agree with your style of play, not because You are the conductor and I must listen.

Qin Mo raised the corners of his lips and said, "If there is no problem, then we will focus on preparing this plan, and then there are alternative plans..."

Seeing him come up with two alternative plans, Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart—Xiao Mo has been under a lot of pressure recently, but Xiao Mo is very strong.He was indeed a little confused some time ago, and often sat there alone in meditation, obviously encountering a bottleneck in command.Xiao Han saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he couldn't open his mouth. His problem had to be solved by himself.

But judging from Qin Mo's energetic arrangement today, he has already walked out.

Get out of the predicament and find a new world, so his eyes are so firm and bright.

***

Qin Mo spent an afternoon analyzing in detail the play ideas of several sets of lineups, possible problems and coping strategies, and then asked everyone to devote themselves to intensive training.

Probably influenced by Qin Mo's self-confidence, the team members of Mojue were very devoted to the training this week, and they got along very quickly, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, and under the leadership of Liu Xiang, everyone flew to Beijing and checked into the hotel arranged in advance.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the hotel, we were blocked by a large group of reporters who were waiting for us. The reporters scrambled to put the microphone in front of Qin Mo, almost knocking his teeth out: "Moshen, what do you think of the Weibo incident a few days ago? ""Countless players from the three major leagues supported it, the paparazzi publicly apologized, and the e-sports world has never seen such a sensation. How do you feel, Moshen?" Lively, it is said that many people have become fans because of your good looks and calmness!"

...all of them are gossips.

Liu Xiang hurriedly protected Qin Mo behind him, and said with a smile: "Friends from the press, please concentrate on interviewing at tomorrow's press conference. The contestants just got off the plane and need to rest. I'm sorry... Excuse me, I'm sorry." Sister Xiang looked very gentle, but she blocked a group of boys taller than her like a "hen guarding her cubs" and gave Xiao Han a wink.Xiao Han took the opportunity to grab Qin Mo and turned around, and Mo Jue's team members disappeared in an instant.The reporters were speechless, but there was nothing they could do about Liu Xiang's smiling face.

Before the game, the officials reserved a special time for the press conference for the teams that entered the semi-finals. On tomorrow morning, Liu Xiang stayed to calm the reporters patiently, and then went to the league to collect the room card, meal coupons and game schedule. Very busy.

After all Mo Jue members checked into the hotel, Liu Xiang said in the WeChat group: "There are too many reporters outside, everyone stay in the room to rest, try not to go out alone. The dinner is arranged by the alliance, the restaurant on the third floor is self-service, take the room card Go directly to eat at around [-] o'clock in the evening, I won't rush everyone [smile]"

Shen He is always the first to pop up: "Got it, sister Xiang worked hard [thumbs up]"

Several other people copied and pasted: "Got it, sister Xiang worked hard [thumbs up]"

Xiao Han said: "Qin Mo and I have dinner at night, so we don't go to the hotel restaurant. Everyone can eat whatever they want with their room cards, and remember to say hello to players from other teams."

Several teenagers lined up in unison again: "Don't worry, Hanshen [smiles]"

Qin Mo saw that the four directly copied and pasted the first person's words, their speed was extremely fast, and the formation was very neat. He couldn't help laughing: "Your rhythm is quite uniform?"

Shen Hedao: "When you get tired of being together every day, your brain waves will be unified!"

He Beiguang said: "That's right, I know that Muran will definitely say +1 in the next sentence."

Li Muran: "+1"

Shen He: "Doesn't Pei Yu use an ellipsis?"

Pei Yu: "..."

Liu Hong hugged his belly and laughed in the dormitory, Xiao Han couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

The tacit understanding between these little guys is indeed getting higher and higher, which also depends on Qin Mo's devilish training this week-forced out.

Probably because Qin Mo's being hacked made too much noise, and several teenagers worked hard during training, as if they wanted to prove something for Qin Mo.In the Weibo incident, they were so soft-spoken that even if they stood by Qin Mo's side, they would not be of much use, they could only improve themselves and not hold back Moshen.Letting Mo Jue win the championship is the best way to slap him in the face.

In the past, everyone didn't have such a strong desire to win the championship, but now, everyone's morale is unprecedentedly high, and they can't wait to rush to the arena to snatch the championship trophy back.

This is a good thing.Qin Mo was happy to see the results, and did not interfere with the chattering of the little guys in the group.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes to refresh himself, Qin Mo sent a message to Master, saying, "Master, what time is dinner?"

Ling Xuefeng replied quickly: "Six o'clock. The Cantonese restaurant on the fourth floor of the hotel, and the private room in Wangjiang Building."

He booked the dining place in the hotel, obviously for the convenience of Qin Mo and Xiao Han, otherwise there are so many reporters in the hall, they may not be able to break out of the encirclement.

***

At six o'clock in the evening, Qin Mo and Xiao Han came to the private room together. Xiao Han was dressed casually, casual trousers with a black thin sweater, and a pair of comfortable sneakers on his feet.Qin Mo was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, paired with trousers and leather shoes, and looked shrewd and wise.He was already good-looking, but with such clothes, his figure was even more slender and well-proportioned. When Li Cangyu saw him coming in from the door, his eyes were full of long legs, so he smiled and said, "Xiaomo, you can even go to the catwalk. "

Qin Mo's cheeks flushed slightly from the praise, and he went over to say hello, "Master, the cat god."

Li Cangyu signaled the two to sit down, and glanced at his casually dressed apprentice: "Look at you, why didn't you come here with a pair of slippers?"

Xiao Han said bluntly: "I have big feet, and I just wore out the hotel's disposable slippers."

Li Cangyu: "..."

Xiao Han smiled and poured tea for Ling Shen and his master: "There's no need for my family to see each other. Xiaomo always dresses so rigorously every time he goes out. I just wear casual clothes to make peace. I thought we were going to a meeting." He tactfully brought the tea to Ling Xuefeng first, and then to his master, Ling Xuefeng glanced at him and said nothing.

Soon the waiter brought up the dishes. The first dish was steamed sea bass, which was naturally for the cat god.The other dishes looked light and delicious, obviously to cater for Qin Mo's taste.

Xiao Han thought to himself, he really paid for the phone bill!

Ling Xuefeng picked up the chopsticks and said, "Talk while eating."

The four casually chatted about some daily topics, and it wasn't until halfway through the dinner that Ling Xuefeng suddenly said: "Xiaomo, many people support you this time because of the face of God Chuan and the masters, even though you have refreshed the e-sports circle. It is a record, and it also set a miracle for the three major leagues to stand at the same time, but you should not be too self-inflated."

Li Cangyu clicked his tongue and said with a smile: "Master, why do you keep suppressing your apprentices? If I were Xiaomo, I would want to fly into the sky. How faceless are you? So many retired masters stood up to support you. It’s comparable to when we won the world championship.”

Before Qin Mo could speak, the two masters started to pinch each other. Obviously, they didn't agree with each other...

Xiao Han coughed, pointed to the half fish on the plate and said, "Master, do you want more of this fish?"

You have to interrupt quickly, otherwise Ling Shen and Mao Shen will really fight, and this meal will not be eaten.

Li Cangyu immediately brought the plate over.Seeing him burying his head in eating fish, Ling Xuefeng smiled lightly, with some helplessness in his eyes, looked at Qin Mo and said, "The Cat God is more like your real master than me."

Qin Mo also smiled, and said seriously: "Thank you, masters, for the Weibo matter."

Li Cangyu recognized Li Cangyu as his master by the way, and Li Cangyu smiled and said: "Xiaomo is really sensible, I will reward you with a piece of fish." He divided half of the fish on the plate and gave it to Qin Mo. Qin Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still politely Thank him.

Ling Xuefeng changed the subject and said, "I heard that someone took care of those paparazzi. It's a good thing. Since your past has been exposed, there's no need to cover it up. The reporters at tomorrow's press conference will definitely ask about your injuries. , whether others pity you, sympathize with you, or really care about you, treat them with a normal heart, I think, you should also come out."

Qin Mo nodded: "Yes, I know."

Ling Xuefeng changed the subject: "How are you preparing for the playoffs?"

Qin Mo said: "It's okay. I have arranged several sets of lineup exercises this week. Everyone cooperated very well. I am quite confident."

Ling Xuefeng raised her eyebrows lightly: "Is it the Iron Triangle defensive formation again?"

Qin Mo's face was a little embarrassed: "Not this time."

Ling Xuefeng nodded and said: "Actually, it's not wrong for netizens to say that your commanding skills are obsessed. You had too much momentum in the early stage. You won so many championships in a row, but the team stage suddenly weakened. It’s like taking a roller coaster and just turned a 360-degree bend. When the emotion reaches its peak, you want to continue screaming, but the result is that the road is flat to the end, without any stimulation. Everyone will have a psychological gap, let alone the fans who support you .”

This description is absolutely perfect, and it really makes Qin Mo feel the same way.

Xiao Han felt sorry for Xiaomo being scolded by his master, and hurriedly helped him speak: "You can't blame Xiaomo alone, he has always been under the greatest pressure, and it is understandable for him to encounter a bottleneck in his thinking..."

Ling Xuefeng glanced at him coldly, Xiao Han immediately shut up.

Qin Mo accepted the criticism humbly: "What Master said is that my tactics are too stereotyped. The other commanders were really afraid of me at first, but after they figure out my routine, they will naturally think of ways to deal with it. In the second half of the regular season, I also calmed down and thought about it carefully, I should take the initiative to change, and I can't sit still."

Ling Xuefeng nodded appreciatively, and said, "No lineup is impeccable. You are so smart, and more skills are more effective than playing steadily."

Qin Mo smiled: "Yes."

As expected of being a master and apprentice, I really thought of going together.

He also thinks this way, so in the playoffs, let's go to his steady and steady play, and other commanders can play all kinds of weird tactics, so he really can't?

Li Cangyu finally finished eating the remaining half of the fish, then wiped his mouth and joined the topic discussion: "Xiaomo, your opponents this time are not weak. Sang Jun is a player with outstanding talent. You have to be calm, and the Dynasty team has a strong foundation, so you have to be careful. Nie Yuzhu's routine is very clear, that is, the style of an iron-blooded tough guy. There are relatively few teams in the Dubu Alliance who are tough with you, and Lihuo's overall strength is low. Strong, this is the playoffs. To deal with them, I think you should have an idea?"

Qin Mo listened carefully, and couldn't help but nodded when he heard this: "Well, I thought of some methods."

Li Cangyu immediately added: "You still have to have more confidence in yourself."

Unexpectedly, the cat god's eyes were so bright that he could see through the uneasiness deep in his heart.

Li Cangyu went on to say: "You and Xiao Han debuted together and grew up together, and because of the masters, netizens often compare the two of you together - the title Gemini is an affirmation of you, but it is also a kind of Bondage. You know what I mean?"

Qin Mo's eyes suddenly turned sour, and he nodded, "I understand. I trained with Xiao Han all day when I was a teenager, and I also teamed up with him in the World Championships. I always compare myself with Xiao Han unconsciously, but To be honest, right now, my personal strength is not as good as Xiao Han's. I won the runner-up in the individual competition because I have strong adaptability, and I have figured out the styles of the various sects of the game the fastest. If I start over now In the individual competition, I may not be able to beat Sang Jun, Chen Jiang, and Su Cheng, who are young players with high comprehension."

This is the first time that Qin Mo has spoken out all his inner insecurities in front of others, and it is also the first time that he has admitted that his current personal level is not as good as many others.

Hand speed, this is his knot, the deepest wound in his heart.

In the past, he was so dazzling, and he dared to confront foreign players head-on in the World Series because he had excellent speed and explosive power.But now, these are gone, especially compared with his former little friend Xiao Han, the gap is even more stark.

So he decided to transform into a tactical player, but he was too deeply influenced by his master, and he always wanted to be stable or explosive.I also tried more complex tactics, but failed because of immaturity.He was at a loss and depressed, but his personality was never willing to show his entanglement. Outsiders thought he was calm, but in fact, his heart had long been turbulent.

Xiao Han saw it, and so did Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng...

These people really knew him too well, even if he could hide it from everyone, he couldn't hide it from these three people.

Xiao Han held Qin Mo's hand distressedly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I also have problems. I always wanted to take care of your feelings, so I slowed down the pace and never showed my real speed. If I do this, I will Puts you under pressure, doesn't it?"

Qin Mo didn't speak, but just gently held him back, as a tacit consent.

Li Cangyu sighed softly, and said, "Xiaomo, I know you will feel uncomfortable saying this, but I still want to say that the title of Gemini has become your bondage and burden. In the eyes of outsiders, you are a pair of tacit cooperation. You are a good partner, but you ask yourself, the two of you are indeed a good partner in a pair match, but in a multiplayer team battle, do you really have to cooperate?"

Qin Mo and Xiao Han looked at each other.

Ling Xuefeng said in a low voice: "Qin Mo, you are the commander, and Xiao Han is the sharpest knife in your hand. You just need to let him play the most valuable. The military adviser behind the scenes does not necessarily have to cooperate with the front line to charge and kill the enemy. Don't What Gemini, the best partner, and find your own position. If you want to take the command line, don’t drag your feet and think about how to cooperate with Xiao Han. You should be firm and let Xiao Han cooperate with your tactics. "

Qin Mo nodded seriously: "I understand."

In fact, he had already figured it out, but Master's same point of view gave him more confidence.

He has been unable to keep up with Xiao Han's speed for a long time, and Xiao Han has been suppressing his hand speed in order to take care of his rhythm - as the master said, there are so many people in Mo Jue, it doesn't mean that Xiao Han and Qin Mo must go Cooperate.Qin Mo can stand at the back and let Xiao Han play the best value.

Xiao Han's sharp knife withdrew its edge in order to take care of him.

In order to keep up with Xiao Han's rhythm, he also distracted himself, unable to achieve absolute concentration.

They know each other too well, and they care too much about each other's feelings...it becomes a kind of bondage instead.

They used to advance and retreat together, but not now.

They are no longer like Lingmao, Chuanwen, Shaolu... unlike any pair of aces in sync with each other in the league.

Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu shot at the same time to crush, Liu Chuan and Wu Zewen shot to fully control the field at the same time, Shao Zehang and Lu Xiang shot at the same time to melee sprint...

And he and Xiao Han shouldn't have shot at the same time.

Although I feel very sad that I can no longer keep up with Xiao Han's speed, I feel fortunate that it can be combined in another way, which is also a different kind of style.

Where do I point, where do you hit.

Whoever I tell you to kill, you will kill him in seconds.

Isn't it also a kind of tacit understanding?

Qin Mo has been trying to change a few days ago, and he was completely separated from Xiao Han in the fight from the fire.However, the similar views from Master still made him feel that the road before him became extremely clear, and the thoughts in his heart became more firm.

This meal really benefited a lot, so at the end, Qin Mo paid the bill consciously and thanked the two masters.

Li Cangyu hugged Qin Mo with a smile, and said, "Come on, you still have a long way to go, and now is the beginning."

***

After returning to the room, Qin Mo was so emotional that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

On the contrary, Xiao Han gently held his hand, and said softly: "Master is so direct, will you feel sad?"

Qin Mo raised his head, met his caring eyes, warmed his heart, and said warmly: "If I were so weak, I wouldn't go to eat with them. I have expected that Master will say it bluntly, and I want to understand What should I do." He paused, his eyes suddenly became very serious: "Xiao Han, can you follow my instructions without hesitation?"

Xiao Han smiled slightly: "Yes."

Simple and crisp, answer with only one word, and convey the rest with firm eyes.

Qin Mo's lips finally raised a smile, he stretched out his hands, and took the initiative to hug his good partner.

Xiao Han also immediately hugged him tightly.

There is no need to say more.

From now on, with my thousand lamp ghost steps, follow your sword to point to the sky.

The author has something to say: Qin Mo is not like Liu Chuan and Li Cangyu, the protagonists of the previous two films, who are aggressive and domineering. He recovers from hand injuries and changes careers. If he can abuse the audience in seconds, I think unscientific.

He walked over to donate blood.

He let go of his knots and found his own way, and only in this way will he become indestructible.

At the beginning of this article, he was not the strongest god.But when it's over, he'll be the real king.
