"It was actually the responsibility of the whole team in that game, not just him. The most fundamental reason is that we are not strong enough to overcome the combination of tactics in the bloody battle. The other is that I made a mistake in judgment on the court, and let Tian Jiangming, who is not suitable for heads-up, take the risk of playing the second 1v1, which ruined his state. ”

“…… Isn't it normal to win or lose a game, win or lose, every team has had it, why do you have to blame anyone? Lin Zhiyuan asked suspiciously, feeling that he understood this kind of superficial truth, and it was impossible for the captain and Coach Zhou not to understand.

"It's not that I'm to blame, it's that the loss is too ugly." Tong Qingsheng sighed, "You haven't experienced the early stage of the fierce battle arena, there was once a guy named Shouheng in the bloody battle world, and his playing style is unusual, which is a nightmare for all teams." Being beaten with a naked 0:10 score in the points match is enough to make a team collapse for a long time. And at that time, the sponsors of each team were very scarce, and it was not easy for a team to get a supporting company, and more of them were struggling to hold on out of their own pockets. Such an ugly result is equivalent to a waste of money for sponsors. ”

"But Mingyue Pavilion won the third place!" Lin Yuanzhi said suspiciously, "Although it is not a champion, this result is good enough for sponsors." ”

Hearing this, Tong Nian shook his head slightly, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "No." ”

"Huh?" Lin Zhiyuan was a little confused, what other requirements could sponsors have besides looking at rankings and popularity.

"While it's acceptable for sponsors not to be champions, it's not acceptable for teams to make a fool of themselves. Liu Jiangqing's popularity was not bad back then, but after that competition, his popularity plummeted, and with the pressure of sponsors, he had to leave. ”

"What......?"

Team members were forced to leave the team because of sponsors, and this kind of strange thing would never happen in Lin Yuanzhi's generation. Sponsors only have the right to advertise and participate in tournament activities, and never have the right to dictate to the team. Moreover, now the star teams like Mingyue Pavilion cultivated by the fierce battle are all vying to discuss cooperation, and the conditions given are very superior, so there is no need to worry about the sponsors threatening the team on the grounds of tearing the contract.

"At that time, the only sponsor of Mingyue Pavilion was brought in by coach Zhou Boyan by relationship, even if I was the captain, I had no right to speak, so I could only implement it according to the coach's arrangement. After being pressured by sponsors, Zhou Boyan decided to change the team's style of play, gradually weakening the proportion of Tian Jiangming's play in the team, and re-cultivating the team's stars. Without the support of the fans, without the attention of the team, it fell from the highest point to the lowest point. Liu Jiangqing had already lost the situation that belonged to him at that moment, and it was not beneficial to continue to stay in the team. ”

When Tong Nian said this, his eyes were full of endless sadness and regret. Looking at Lin Yuanzhi's gaze, it gradually blurred, but what happened on the day Liu Jiangqing left. Everything feels like yesterday, but it's already frozen history.

Two years ago, Mingyue Pavilion set up its own training room in a dilapidated office building, whether it was a meeting or a training room, it was only 200 square meters. Coach and manager Zhou Boyan solemnly put the third-place trophy of the 3rd NFL Battle National League into the display cabinet at the morning meeting, and then happily informed everyone to go out for dinner and play at 5 p.m., and they were all free to move around before that.

The members of the team have been practicing their playing style almost without leaving their homes during the season, so this precious free time will never be wasted in this cramped and suffocating training room, and the birds and beasts will disperse as soon as they hear the news. Only Liu Jiangqing was still sitting in his seat, looking at his computer blankly.

"What are you doing?" Tong Nian walked up to Liu Jiangqing and patted him on the shoulder, "The team won the third place by relying on you, and there is a celebration party in the afternoon, why do you look unhappy?" ”

"Tong Nian, play 1V1 with me." Liu Jiangqing raised a gloomy face and looked at Tong Nian next to him.

"I've been playing for a year, and I finally have a free time to play 1v1 with me, aren't you sick?" Tong Nian smiled and reached out to touch Liu Jiangqing's forehead, but was grabbed by him.

"Open your game, I'll build the arena, and the password is my QQ number." Liu Jiangqing looked at Tong Nian firmly, without the slightest intention of joking.

Tong Nian looked at him and seemed to understand Liu Jiangqing's intention to play this game. Silently withdrew the hand that was caught, sat back in front of his computer, stretched out his fingers and gently pressed the round power button.

Since Mingyue Pavilion used Liu Jiangqing as the core of the team before, in order to be able to communicate better, Tong Nian's computer was next to him. The chassis of the two were also side by side, and at the beginning, there was an oolong incident in which Tong Nian slipped and pressed Liu Jiangqing's chassis switch when he opened his own computer, and turned off his computer.

After this kind of thing happened two or three times, Liu Jiangqing simply put his case on the ground, and every time he turned on the machine, he directly kicked the button below with his foot. Several times, Zhou Boyan would babble distressedly when he saw him in such a rough boot posture, for fear that he would kick this expensive machine out.

In the past two years, other people's computers have only changed some internal hardware configurations, but Liu Jiangqing's computer has been replaced with a chassis and two switch buttons. In this training room, dozens of computers are the same model of chassis, and only this one has the most tragic fate. To this day, the round button still bears the marks of his kicking, the mottled coating and blurred aperture as if some disaster had befallen it.

Since Zhou Boyan adjusted the playing style of the whole group after that game, Liu Jiangqing has become more and more silent and withdrawn, no longer discussing tactics fiercely with Tong Nian, no longer using a lot of incomprehensible data theories to explain his playing style, and no longer kicking the button with his feet, but bending down and pressing it gently.

Although he knew that Liu Jiangqing had always been in a state of loss in his heart, seeing him like this now, Tong Nian still sensed a hint of foreboding in his heart. But at this time, there is nothing to be done except to promise the next brother this game.

In the empty training room, the captain of the Bright Moon Pavilion and the chief assassin of the Bright Moon Pavilion sat in front of their respective computers. A complex 1v1 advanced map has appeared on the screen, with two characters refreshed at either end of the map. Although Tong Nian only needed to look sideways slightly to see Liu Jiangqing's hiding place in the game, he didn't glance at his screen the whole time.
