If Qi Rui hadn't mentioned it suddenly, Gu Linjun hadn't taken the initiative to think of Liang Xin for a long time.

After SAG's relegation was confirmed, Li Cheng left the team and went to EVS as a substitute jungler, while Liang Xin stayed in SAG, playing in LSPL with teammates he didn't necessarily like very much.Although such a decision surprised many people, it was unexpectedly in line with Liang Xin's personality.

To this day, Gu Linjun doesn't hold much resentment towards Liang Xin's cruel selfishness and never caring about other people's feelings, but he will never want to understand or forgive.

That's enough to have no contact from now on.

"You are different from him."

Hearing this, Gu Linjun almost immediately objected.Regarding the comparison between Qi Rui and Liang Xin, he thought that with the departure of SAG, it would be forever closed, but he never thought that the person who brought it up would be Qi Rui.

No matter how many times he asks, his answer will not change: Liang Xin can't compare to Qi Rui in the slightest.

Qi Rui froze for a moment after hearing his answer, and then showed a not-so-relaxed smile.

"Is that so?" He still looked tense, and Gu Linjun could see the fear and anxiety hidden under his rational appearance. "Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned him."

"It's nothing."

"You were friends with him before, weren't you?"

"Previously."

After recovering himself from the initial anxiety, Gu Linjun took the initiative to talk about many things in the past for the first time.

"I was in the second team of D3 at the beginning. I played mid laner and my record was terrible. You must know this... PND was still in the era of Frozen Throne and Black Emperor. Have you heard of it? IceThrone in mid laner and the Wild DarkEmperor, two old men who have retired for many years, now one has completely disappeared from this circle, and the other is doing live broadcasts selling meat muffins, and occasionally comes to watch our games."

What Gu Linjun is talking about now is all things that are said to be bad by fans, and a random search on the Internet will yield countless results.He went on to talk about being spotted by PND, moved into the training base that was smaller than the current one, and started to switch to ADC.

"...someone always blows me up like a god, but in fact, I just got the hang of it in the last few months of S3, how to deal damage, how to play suppression, and the things that I couldn't understand before suddenly had the answer. I lost in the final of the S3 qualifiers Afterwards, everyone except me left, Bingge and Dahei retired, and the other two went to other teams. I was very scared at the time, because it was my turn to take the lead, and I couldn’t express this fear, so He played very hard.”

"That's when I first met Liang Xin and the others."

During the transfer period between the two seasons, He Hu, who was extremely busy, finally put together a brand new PND.When Liang Xin came to the PND base, Gu Linjun was in touch with his new assistant, and Yang Zhuoxi, who was even more mean-spirited than now and didn't know how to read his words, made him furious with a few words.

"Inside, what are you doing?"

Liang Xin poked his head in first, fluffy, dyed light brown, looked several years younger than his actual age, and had pointed canine teeth when he smiled.Gu Linjun and Yang Zhuoxi, who were wrestling, knew it was embarrassing, and immediately separated, trying to pretend that they had a good relationship and greeted the new mid laner.

In Gu Linjun's opinion, the old training base is useless: it is small, the surrounding environment is not very good, there are neighbors who come to eat every few days, and the most important thing is that the network is poor. Even if you play in Hanbok, you will face the danger of VPN explosion from time to time. .

"I share a room with Liang Xin, A Yang and Li Cheng share a room, and A Xi sleeps in a room alone. You understand the reason. We don't know each other well, and the accommodation is completely arranged randomly. I'm too tired, and the rank is not going so well, so I will chat with Liang Xin and talk about a lot of things. It is undeniable that Liang Xin is really a good chat partner. He doesn't need me to say anything to know how to deal with it. "

Time came to S4, and through Gu Linjun's narration, Qi Rui didn't realize at all how popular and unparalleled PND was at that time, on the contrary, he was full of hesitation.A lone hero who is forced to carry the girder is overwhelmed by the pressure of the entire team, like a string stretched to the extreme, although it is extremely sharp, it is also extremely fragile.

If he wants to win, he must win, and only if he wins will he live up to the expectations of others.

Driven by such power to fight hard, it only takes someone's hand to flick it lightly, and he will be completely broken...

"As for why I became friends with Liang Xin at that time, it may be because he was the only one who could see what I was afraid of at that time." Gu Linjun closed his eyes. "It's a pity that I misjudged the person. If you invest in someone like Liang Xin, you will not be rewarded. I once regarded him as my only true friend. He... I don't know what he thinks of me."

Faced with Gu Linjun's confusion and confusion, he did not choose to share it, but instead lured him further and further down this road.

"He took advantage of my fear and almost destroyed me."

Many people, including Qi Rui, know that PND's breakup happened during the S5 finals, but the conflict did not happen overnight.

"Since the end of S4, I have gradually realized that his essence is not as good as he showed. I began to alienate him, and he also realized that he no longer does those superfluous things on the surface."

After losing in the finals, they moved into a new base after returning home, and all five of them had their own rooms.Gu Linjun no longer had to face Liang Xin's increasingly hateful face all day long. In the same year, the team that always came to PND for food went bankrupt due to poor management and poor performance.

S5 was the darkest year for PND. The first-round defeat of the spring split made them miss the playoffs and they had to prepare for relegation. The state of the summer split was ups and downs, and they were able to reach the qualifiers and won the final spot.Qi Rui knew that Gu Linjun's tight string broke at the moment of losing to KBT, and because of Liang Xin's misfortune, he never got out of this shadow.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Yeah, why." Through the half-closed door, Gu Linjun heard He Hu standing at the top of the stairs calling them to go down for dinner. "If I tell you why, will you answer my question?"

"Why?" Qi Rui remained unmoved.

Why did he tell him about Liang Xin and PND's past at such a time when everything was not going well? He obviously never mentioned it before.

"Because of fear." Gu Linjun recalled his irritable and impulsive self. "Although I can't say that I'm recovering well, I have found my way to go, and I am no longer afraid of the things that almost ruined me in the past."

He will trust his teammates more and integrate into his team.He has the best teammates in the world, and he doesn't have to bear all the pressure on himself anymore, because Qi Rui will do things that Liang Xin could never do before.

Even if you can't keep him by your side forever, he's the same...

"I don't know."

"It's okay if you don't understand." Gu Linjun stood up from the bed. "Now it's my turn to ask, what are you afraid of today?"

"I do not have……"

Qi Rui really wanted to answer that he wasn't afraid of anything, but even he didn't believe such a statement, so how could he escape the other party's eyes.

"I don't know..." he finally told the truth. "I feel like I'm scared of a lot of things and I'm afraid of nothing, and I'm a bit confused to be honest."

His left hand is as good as it has never been injured, and he still has his position on the field. He really doesn't know what is holding him back, making him hesitant and not sharp.

Gu Linjun sighed, he could see how bad Qi Rui's condition is today.

He will not pretend to think that everything has something to do with him, nor will he think that it has nothing to do with him.

"When you figure it out and are willing to speak, I will listen."

Qi Rui nodded, even though he didn't seem to care about it.

"Thank you, Lin."

The second game of PND this week is scheduled for Saturday, and the opponent is the SG team from Group A.

Before the game, Ah Qi did a lot of preparation work, regarding the reasons for their previous defeat and the lineup and system that their opponents might use in the next game.

The training match was played against a mid-level team in the LCK. It was a BO3 format. Both sides did not make any serious moves, but it was enough to expose the current problems of PND very fully: not only the low state of the mid laner SarieL, but also the top laner. Devin also often made small mistakes in operations and details, and was single-caught several times when he took the line too deep without vision.

To put it simply, the entire team is sleepwalking, including Lin, who has always played strong, and can only be said to be mediocre without merit.

"I know you are all very tired. After the MSI is over, it will be the summer split, playoffs, qualifiers, and the World Finals. Among them, we need to prepare for this year's Demacia Cup..."

Different from the spring split with two offseasons, the schedule of the summer split is much tighter. The ten-week regular schedule is non-stop. At the end of August, two teams are selected for the playoffs to participate in S6. The qualifiers at the beginning of September determine the last place for S6. Who will win.

Then there is the one-month World Finals.

It is said that it is a month, but in fact, most teams do not have a month at all.

"But you don't have time anymore." Ah Qi was actually unwilling to spread the facts out like this, but he had to go on, the overall condition of the team was not good, and his coach had to play a motivating role. "The summer split determines the qualifications for the S series finals, and the honor of the spring split has nothing to do with it. We don't want to stop here, no matter how far you can go in this arena in the future, go all out , finish this year, okay?"

After Ah Qi finished speaking, the meeting room fell into silence.After several seconds, the group of "little troublemakers" he called answered one by one.

What is going on now is the second game of FROG vs. DX. By chance, the two teams promoted from the LSPL faced each other in the first game of the season.

The game finally ended with DX2:1 defeating FROG and scoring a point. Although there are still various unsatisfactory and immature places, the vigor and fighting spirit shown by these two teams are enough to make other veteran teams feel a certain pressure.

It is worth mentioning that the young ADC in DX is called Lin's successor because of his outstanding personal strength, fierce and domineering online style, and also from the second team of D3.

After watching the game, they each went to practice for a while. Before twelve o'clock, all the lights in the whole building were extinguished. The few people who fell into a deep sleep early did not know what was waiting for them.

In the second BO3 of this week, SG defeated PND by a big score of 2:0.

Die-hard fans and professionals of PND were all in an uproar: losing two games in a row, all of them were disastrous.

And this is just the beginning of PND's summer nightmare.
