Orphan Road King [Esports]

The on-stage interviews are over, and CNG still has a post-match media group interview to attend.

After all, this Bo5 can decide which of the two teams can break into the semi-finals of the summer split, so the time for media group visits after the game is far more crowded than during the regular season.

You Song sat there and chatted for more than half an hour before the group interview ended.

For the CNG players who have just played four small rounds, this half hour also requires concentration and serious coping, which is not much easier than during the game.

Therefore, when it was finally over, everyone looked like they had survived a catastrophe.

"It's over..." Shang Zhou rubbed the back of his neck, his whole body wilted like a blooming flower, "Damn it, it was just a backache and neck pain, but after this group interview, my throat also hurts."

"Brother Chen should bring throat lozenges, you can ask him for one later." You Song said, "I used to command too much and my voice hurt, so I asked him for it once, and then he brought it every time."

"Really? That's great." Shang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

While talking, everyone went back to the lounge to pick up things, and left the venue after taking them, preparing to go to the opposite parking lot to take a car.

Chen Lun and other staff members were already in the car, and they bought water and snacks for them.

"Go have a meal and come back, or go back directly and let the base order takeaway for you?" Chen Lun asked them as soon as they got in the car.

You Song was the first to speak, saying that I can do anything.

After him, Ye Hang also said it doesn't matter.

"Let's go back to eat. Can I ask Haidilao to see me off?" Shang Zhou rubbed his waist after getting in the car and sat down. "I've been sitting for too long today, I want to go back early."

As the earliest player in the team to make his debut, Shang Zhou has a little problem with his cervical and lumbar spine. It’s okay to play Bo3, but it’s a bit difficult to play Bo5. In addition, after the game, he has to work hard to go to the group interview. Now he really doesn’t have much strength. .

"Then go back." Wu Quan knew what was wrong with him, so he made a decision directly, "I will play ZXG the day after tomorrow, so I didn't have so much time to celebrate."

"Okay, I'll tell the base." Chen Lun nodded, agreed, then took out his phone and typed quickly.

Afterwards, the bus headed towards the base. Everyone sat in the bus after tossing around in the afternoon. They either closed their eyes and rested their minds, or swiped their phones quietly, and no one spoke.

You Song was originally closing his eyes to rest his mind, but after closing his eyes for a while, he suddenly heard Wu Quan who was sitting in front calling him in a low voice.

He hurriedly opened his eyes and replied in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Wu Quan raised his finger and pointed to Chen Lun who was sitting further in front, and said, "You are lucky, he got the ticket for you, the last one."

You Song: "!"

"But the position is not very front, you know, the official lock seat, you can't just focus on the front row to lock the position, otherwise the audience will have opinions."

"I understand." You Song was very happy, "It's great to have a seat!"

Wu Quan: "Your brother wants to come and see?"

You Song said yes, but also said that it was indeed too late, which caused trouble for the team.

"Small things don't matter." Wu Quan had the same attitude as Chen Lun, "Don't worry about it."

"Hmm." That's all You Song could say.

Four or ten minutes later, the bus arrived at the base, and a group of people got off one after another and entered the base.

They went in first, and the Haidilao food delivery ordered by the staff at the base arrived. A group of people quickly cooked it on the first floor and started eating around it.

However, everyone else ate while sitting. Only Shang Zhou was standing by the table holding a pair of chopsticks because his waist was still hurting.

"Never mind." He told everyone, "If I don't stand for a while, I may not be able to get up tomorrow."

Seeing him like this, You Song couldn't help thinking that when he had dinner with Jin You, the other party reminded him to pay attention to his health.

Although he also listened to it at the time, his feeling was not as profound as seeing Shang Zhou unable to sit down normally at all, and could only stand and eat.

The e-sports industry really eats youth food, he thought.

The captain is only 20 years old, and his position is still the support with the longest average professional years, and he has been tortured by illnesses so far. One can imagine how many injuries the first-line players who have played in other positions for three or four years have.

This somewhat frustrated You Song.

After eating, he went to replay, but he was not very interested.So that after the others left the small black room, Zhou Yuefei asked a question while no one was present.

"Why do you feel unhappy, are you still angry at the scarecrow?" Zhou Yuefei asked.

"...No." He shook his head.

"What's the matter? Worried about not being able to beat ZXG?"

"No." You Song hesitated for a moment, "It's just uncomfortable to see the captain sitting down after playing Bo5, and I feel—"

"—Think e-sports is too cruel?"

"Yeah." He nodded this time, "Just... well, I don't know how to say it."

Zhou Yuefei looked at him, rarely without the sarcasm that always hung on his face.

After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "It's like this. Compared with traditional sports, the careers of e-sports players are very short."

"Like football and basketball, three years is used for leveling for newcomers and teenagers. Those who have been trained in three years are all talents that can be made. It doesn't matter if they can't practice. Most of them are late bloomers. Click on someone who develops a golf quotient."

"But if it's e-sports, especially League of Legends, if a player fails to perform well enough after three years of debut, it's basically impossible for him to do so in the future."

You Song didn't know what to say.

"This industry is immature and cruel, so many people have come in one after another, and only got injured in the end." Zhou Yuefei said, "But it is also because of this that ambitious players will work extra hard and yearn for a championship. "

"It's not that winning the championship can offset this kind of immaturity and cruelty, but at least after going through so much and paying so much, you can still have something tangible and hold it in your hands."

You Song still can't understand this.

"I understand," he said.

Zhou Yuefei: "If you understand, don't think about it so much. Your captain didn't wait for your teammates until the fourth year. There is no way to turn back time. The only thing you can do is to play with him as much as possible when he can still play. Let's win a championship together."

"..."

"Of course, it would be better to win a few more." Zhou Yuefei paused, "As long as you have the ability."
