There are no couples on the road

These days Mint is basically living on its fingers.

In the past, he felt that persistence and hard training were already used to him.But after entering the LPL, he found that he had to rely more on himself.

CRE doesn't have LN's devilish timetable that everyone in the e-sports circle knows. He hasn't seen the legend of TimeStone losing his temper.

Everyone seemed to know what they were supposed to do.Maybe everyone has experienced the fear of being dominated by legends, Mint sometimes thinks so when he looks up during training breaks and is inadvertently dragged back to reality by the scene where everyone is immersed in training.

Not to mention other people, even he, a fresh blood who can't be new, is used to the schedule that has been improved several times. The first thing he does when he sits down in the training room every day is to open the sticky note on the desktop, and read the training schedule while reading it. Whiteboard, while arranging the training that I have to do today.

Many things are no longer 24-hour oncall on the surface, but are actually in the state of real idlers. Unknowingly, Mint also needs to check his own plan, and then consult with Twenty and the captain before he can arrange the interactive practice with everyone.

He deeply understands that the time of others and himself should never be wasted.

Even if they didn't say it, everyone in CRE understands how much hardship there is behind the return of [-].

No matter how you think about it, you won't have too much time in the end.

Will it be one season, or a year or two, no one can say a bigger number.

I've watched it a lot, and it's kind of ridiculous sometimes.Those people can say anything for black.

"The team members of CRE were kidnapped by your Shiyi AD morality", "It's really difficult for Yidian not to do 1 this time, it's really hard to end", "The final commercial value is gone, why are you still serious about the whole work", "The script is written Well, the top eight retired due to injury, put on a mask of pain, and become an uncrowned king without a crown, do you really believe it"...

At first he would not be reconciled to seeing it.The question of asking twenty is also asking himself, "If you want to win the championship, can you move forward?"

"It's too difficult, how can you persevere?"

At that time, he didn't seem to understand even Twenty's answer.But he saw more and more clearly that he could move forward.

Of course, the world does not revolve around any one person. There are so many veterans who have retired from the LPL sadly, and there are so many people who will never make it to the top. There are "geniuses" who are mediocre and unable to shine, and outstanding players who can't get results no matter what.The tragic hero generally doesn't end well here, and regrets happen all the time.

But you can always have a dream.

It doesn't matter if you say it is a dream, why can't you dream.The dream is one's own, and everyone can have the dream of winning the S competition trophy.

Rookies and teenagers can also dream of veterans.

Before the Asian Games training camp, Jiang Weichi called Mint out of the training room.

He was led to the gym for some reason, and when he saw him come in, Shi Xun smiled against the sweat on his forehead that was illuminated by the light, "Wait for me for a few minutes, there is still one set to do."

Meng Yingliu felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn't even dare to think about how painful it would be to sweat so much in a room with constant temperature.

Jiang Weichi's expression was the same as usual, he didn't speak, wiped Shi Xun's sweat, and went to the side to prepare a towel for Shi Xun's wrist. Mint helped pour out the water, turned around and saw Jiang Weichi knelt down, skillfully and carefully wrapped the special towel and bandage around Shi Xun's swollen wrist.

Shi Xun gasped exaggeratedly, "Hiss—it's so hot."

There was a gentle smile on the captain's face that could only see killing and indifference, Mint was speechless by his first reaction.

Twenty was actually able to pass his wrist over without changing his face, "Blow blow."

...The captain really blew lightly.

What is this doing? ? ? While Mint was terrified, his brain played him a sentence that Nai Ye often sent him on a loop—can I watch it for free?

"Did you secretly call me coquettish?" Twenty got up and stretched his shoulders.

Jiang Weichi was still sorting out the boxes for the rehabilitation training equipment, and Mint felt that he had seen more smiles from the captain in such a short period of time than in this season.

"If only you were really squeamish."

"Mint, we're leaving tomorrow, and I need to explain something to you."

Shi Xun suddenly turned the topic to Mint, who was still a little unresponsive, so he was puzzled after humming, "Explain to me? Are there any training tasks to be arranged?"

"There is nothing to talk about in training. Except for the training match, at least 10 qualifying games per day plus replays should be quite easy. We want to talk to you about something more long-term."

For a moment Mint didn't know where to start. I don’t ask how the 10-game plus replay can "should be quite easy". If I ask, I will only get the experience of Versailles training. What is the longer-term thing?

Fortunately, Shi Xun should have already planned what to talk about, and Mint didn't continue to be confused, "I want to hand over the intercontinental competition to you."

Mint doesn't know why, but his state today is infinitely close to the cycle of the two states of not being able to understand human words and being speechless.

"I, this...I, can't I?" Mint stammered.

Shi Xun laughed instead, "Isn't it appropriate to say that I can't do it?"

"No, can this kind of thing be arranged like this? And it involves four teams, which is different from the team."

Jiang Weichi put away his things and came over, "You can arrange it like this when you are ready."

"Mint, you have to turn the corner. The initiative in this kind of matter is actually in your own hands." Shi Xun patted the child's shoulder with his left hand, "Every player is indeed a candidate, but there will always be If someone is chosen, then your task is to become the one who can be chosen."

"There is only one situation where you are passive, and that is unqualified." Jiang Weichi was more serious, "You are in CRE, and your responsibility is even excellent, and you cannot stop at passing."

Shi Xun pulled Mint to sit down, "In fact, you have always had other choices, easier choices, no matter which one you choose, you will have an advantage over the current position, with less pressure and more opportunities. Count it on me."

This time Mint was not silent. He looked up at TimeStone, whom he had always admired. For the first time, he was so eager to clarify what he had thought clearly, "This is my choice. I also thought about running away, really, There are geniuses everywhere in this circle, I am the most ordinary one, I have always been scared to death, but I also have a little dream, so I only have this choice."

Mint didn't know how to show his sincerity, "Brother, don't push all this on yourself, you have given me a choice every time, and I have always chosen it myself, although I am quite stupid, and It's really cowardly, but I also know that I can't go back on my word. Sometimes I scold myself, thinking I can't be so stubborn, but I really, really..."

"I want to play in CRE. Whether it's ahead of schedule or according to the plan, I want to be a player worthy of the team and worthy of Brother Chi and you. I just don't know how to do it. I can't help it. I’ve read some reviews, and there are those who praise me and those who criticize me. Those who praise me, I feel that I can’t afford it, and those who scold me, I feel uncomfortable after reading it, but I think I deserve it, because I seem to be a waste of iron. Can't do what a CRE ad should look like..."

They didn't talk much that night either, but Mint felt like he could keep finding more of it to support himself.

Before getting up for training every day, while brushing himself with foam all over his mouth, he would also think, "Ah, what does it feel like to participate in the Asian Games."

He probably never dared to think about it before.

Sometimes I will calculate how many days it will take before Beside and TimeStone come back, and whether I can give them a qualified result.

Although life has become a lot more tense after entering the LPL, apart from training time, Meng Yingliu felt more empty for a long period of time.

At that time, he was surrounded by players who he only saw once or twice at the annual meeting, not to mention players from other clubs. After leaving LSPL, he couldn't see any news when he turned on his phone.

Only the LPL freshman who was in the same period as him, the jungler Nighty of the LN team next door still maintained their friendship.Both of them have gone through different things, from different LDL teams to different LPL teams predictably.

It's just that they still have the same habit as they did in the LDL period, sending each other a sentence "I must train hard today" every day.If the two clubs make appointments for training matches with each other, they may have a few more conversations about their status.

But in fact, they will not have more topics, but it is also training and daily life without any new content.

Their topics always go around and return to the seniors in the team. These star players who have a good relationship seem to have become an important intersection of their current lives.

Just like what he said to Shi Xun that night, it's not like he didn't think about it before, whether there would be other possibilities.After all, players like them will still have a bright day in general.

If he had been bought by another team, wouldn't he be in such a position now, would he be able to relax a bit?But... How can you explain something like a complex?

Compared to Nighty's current benign rotation in LN, Meng Yingliu's position in CRE is a bit more embarrassing.

To put it nicely, he can be regarded as a firefighter of CRE, but what he saves is not the fire on the field, but the game itself.If TimeStone's condition is not good, or needs to be maintained for the future, then he will be the starter.

At least now, no one will challenge his position.

Probably the entire LPL cannot find a second player who has reached his level and would be willing to be a rotation player in this position.

After all, in front of him is a mountain that seems to be insurmountable forever, and he can't even find a way to climb it.

Meng Yingliu felt torn for a long time.

When he first entered CRE, he could feel that everyone was optimistic about him, but no one was really optimistic about him. Mint is the number one player who can be ranked in the youth training era. Many people have speculated before that whether he will be the player who will replace TimeStone and sit on the bench.

But more people think that CRE's system cannot accept an ADC that is not strong enough.

Maybe after [-] retires, CRE will pay a sky-high price to buy a famous AD to continue CRE's life.

But it seems that everyone is used to it. In the professional arena of LPL and League of Legends, so many players come and go, and 0001 will never change.

We all know he has been plagued by injuries.

Still expecting him to change his fate against the sky.

Mint doesn't know how it feels to carry this life-threatening and painful expectation that is like kidnapping on his back, but even this kind of expectation makes him envious.

Because he doesn't know how to win.He didn't even know who he was supposed to beat.

Not keeping up with TimeStone is a matter of course.Everyone has this attitude, including himself.It is impossible to transcend time, no matter when he is doing well or not, what he will get seems to be the kind of pain that makes him a matter of course.

You have worked hard and you are good enough.

The underlying expression is unconsciously swallowed between the lips and teeth - you don't have to force yourself to compare with TimeStone, because no one expects you to be as good as him.

It is impossible.

Is this what it should be like to complete a staged goal, or to realize a small ideal?

He was really... very confused.

This confusion has been with him through the Spring Split, and he still couldn't get rid of it until that night.It's just that he didn't expect that it would be so easy to solve. It only takes two sentences to make the confusion fade away.

Twenty and Linghua's voices rang out together with his unfinished voice.

Twenty said: "You deserve it."

Linghua said: "Why can't you do it."

The expressions of the two sentences are completely consistent with the styles of the two of them, but the different languages ​​are all expressing their trust in him.

Even though the motivation of language is intangible, Mint still found the next way from it.Whether it's twenty or the captain, they are so gentle to him, they can understand that he needs affirmation, and give him their trust.

Then he naturally cannot live up to this expectation.

Time passed like this, Meng Yingliu still patted his face with cold water with a toothbrush in his mouth, and then realized that today is the day for the Asian Games players to return to the team.

I have to say that the return of Twenty and Linghua made some of his inexplicable emotions fall back to reality.

The club's operations staff have remained calm these days, making Mint unknowingly downplay some emotions.But thinking about the scene of winning the gold medal in the Asian Games when he was watching the game before, he still feels that kind of excitement now.

Maybe when I win the championship, I will feel even more indescribable happiness.

Mint tidied himself up quickly, and on the way to the training room, he saw Twenty and Linghua's dormitory.

It has only been one year since the Hangzhou base was put into use, but the wooden nameplates hanging on the door of their room are full of the breath of time.

Shi Xun.

Jiang is not too late.

The handwriting of these two names is old and new, and they are squeezed together.

He rejected the team leader's room arrangement, and when Shi Xun was away, the team leader slept in this room by himself.

Meng Yingliu remembered that when he first came, his teammates also said that Linghua was like a little widow living alone.

Before I knew it, a long time had passed.Slowly getting used to the life in CRE, groping, keeping up with the rhythm of this team.

"Mint, what are you doing here, thinking about people when you see things?" Duan Qiusheng opened the door and saw Mint poking at the door of the next room, "They should be back today, I guess the time is almost here."

Meng Yingliu nodded, "It is said that I will arrive at the base in the afternoon, and I will go to the training room first."

Autumn waved his hand, and returned to the room with his toothbrush in his mouth.

Mint pushed open the door of the training room, still thinking about discussing an idea about river crabs with the jungler before today's 10th game of qualifying. After sitting down and starting the machine, he realized that something was wrong-why are Twenty and Linghua training? room? ? ?

"When did you guys come back?" Mint was no longer busy making plans, and leaned over to look at the screen where the two were facing each other.

Linghua didn't turn her head back, "I just arrived for a while."

"Just arrived," Twenty cut the angle of view, "Look, I think his manipulation deformation is a problem of pre-judgment."

Mint feels overwhelmed, these two people are really industry benchmarks...

After discussing with Linghua, Shi Er and Linghua skillfully carried Xiao Mint to the cafeteria, "We asked the team leader to check in some fruits, don't you like jackfruit, and there are many other things, we let the aunt deal with it, first Go eat something."

Linghua's tone was very indifferent, "Eat more, just to talk about the recent thoughts on the replay of the ranking."

Mint felt that the plot instantly returned to CRE's daily life.

It is very good everyday.
