Chapter 7: Before the Games

After a one-day training match with DAGA.BenT, the Confederations Cup Finals officially began the next day.

Since the finals opened at 9:30 in the morning, Gao Lin and everyone got up at 7 o'clock in the morning.

American-style breakfast, Gao Lin was a little unaccustomed to it, but he was helpless, a sandwich, an omelette, and a glass of milk, and everyone hurried downstairs under the leadership of Lu Hai.

Under the lobby of the hotel, two foreign teams had already gathered, and the rest of the teams drove down from the upper floors one after another.

However, this hotel only houses five teams from the national service, Taiwanese service, Southeast Asia, and South America, like the two teams of Hanbok, who did not settle in this hotel according to the arrangement of the competition party, but found another hotel to live in.

It is said that the two Hanbok teams felt that entering this hotel was too detrimental to their identity, and instead chose to live in a nearby three-star hotel.

It's no wonder that Hanbok e-sports teams generally enjoy star treatment, and some famous e-sports players are even more famous than first- and second-tier stars in the entertainment industry. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire shijie, the professional e-sports of Hanbok, is the most popular and valued by domestic people, like some politicians, before coming to power, they are proud to invite e-sports teams to play exhibition matches. After all, South Korea's e-sports is almost a representative of the masses, with a very high audience, and the fact that the ruler can invite them to play is often seen as a symbol of proximity to the people.

In addition to the Korean team, the three European teams and the two American teams also felt that the Yas Hotel was too low-grade and transferred to other big hotels together.

After the five professional teams gathered in the hotel lobby, the players led everyone to the Toyota Sports Center, the home of the Rockets.

With the NBA Rockets playing three consecutive road games and no games for a week, the Toyota Sports Center was empty.

At this time, there were a lot of fans who came to watch the game, almost all of them were Houstonians who lived nearby, and there were also some fan bases brought in by foreign teams.

Entering the Toyota Sports Center through the dedicated passage for the event, several high-level players were already waiting there.

Because the five teams of Hanbok and European did not come, several high-level executives did not order specific arrangements, but were just communicating with the coaches of several teams.

β€œHello,Makers!” A male voice in pure English rang out.

Gao Lin and the others turned around, but saw a group of foreigners walking slowly. Among them, the one who spoke was a handsome young man on the right.

He is around 20 years old, with medium-long blond hair, and a charming smile on his sunny and handsome face, as if he was seeing an old friend, looking at Xiao Zifeng standing beside Gao Lin.

Undoubtedly, he is the captain of the American server star team, the UFT team, AeSeTion, one of the most dazzling superstars in the current "League of Legends" shijie e-sports circle.

"AeSeTion, howareyou?" Xiao Zifeng smiled and turned to the other party.

"What do you say?" AeSeTion suddenly switched to Chinese and pointed to his chest and said. However, his Chinese is very awkward, as if a three-year-old child has just learned to speak, with a thick voice.

"You guy, when did you steal our Chinese!" Xiao Zifeng smiled and slapped the other party's chest.

"Myfriend,yourChineseissodifficult,Ispentmorethantwomonthsdidn'tlearn (My friend, your Chinese is too difficult, I didn't learn it for more than two months)!" Seeing Xiao Zifeng stretch out his hand, the other party did not shake hands with him, but suddenly pulled him into his arms and punched him in the back, "ThisisforthelasttimeyoutookFrenchleave (This is the punishment for you last time without saying goodbye)!" ”

Looking at the intimate actions of the two, Yang Tianshui and everyone were surprised. However, Gao Lin didn't think there was anything. Xiao Zifeng used to train in American clothes for more than a month, and it is natural to know this AeSeTion. Besides, with Xiao Zifeng's fame in the shijie e-sports circle, who doesn't know him?

"Ohyes, IfinallysawthefamousMakers (Wow, I've finally met the famous Max!) A fat young man with eyes walked in front of Xiao Zifeng.

"This is an innocent child, our new teammate!" AeSeTion introduced Xiao Zifeng in English.

"Hello!" Xiao Zifeng smiled and nodded to the obese young man in English, "I've heard your name for a long time!" ”

"Really? Max, have you heard my name? What an honor! The obese young man said excitedly, "I used to be a fan of yours!" ”

"Pok, AeSeTion, how can the Anemo be so familiar with him?" Looking at Xiao Zifeng, who was chatting and laughing with AeSeTion, Yang Tianshui said in surprise.

"Zifeng has trained in the United States for more than a month before, and knowing them is for sure!" Gao Lin smiled lightly.

"Shall we also go up and say hello and show our faces?" Zhang Weiyong said.

And when his words fell, Xiao Zifeng turned around and pointed at Gao Lin and the others in English and said, "These are my teammates!" ”

"Max, why did you change teams? The previous team, isn't it very haode? Seeing Xiao Zifeng pointing at Gao Lin and the others, the obese young man asked puzzledly.

Xiao Zifeng smiled and didn't explain anything.

"Max, your team, okay?" After glancing at Gao Lin and the others a few times, AeSeTion looked at Xiao Zifeng again, and did not mean to come over to say hello.

"Hehe, if you dare to underestimate us, just wait to be beaten!" Xiao Zifeng slapped the other party with a smile. He has known AeSeTion for a long time, and he knows his personality well, he is a straightforward person with almost no scheming. What I said just now didn't mean any ridicule or discrimination at all, it was just a kind of question between friends.

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of anyone except you guy!" The other party smiled very confidently.

"Then just watch, our team, there will always be people you are afraid of!" As he spoke, Xiao Zifeng turned his head and pointed at Gao Lin, "As an old friend, let me remind you, pay attention to this guy, if you underestimate him, you will die a miserable death!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Xiao Zifeng's words, AeSeTion looked up at Gao Lin, a pair of turquoise eyes looked up and down at him, and there was a trace of doubt on his face, "Really?" He's strong? ”

"That's all I have to say, believe it or not!" Xiao Zifeng smiled.

Gao Lin's English is not good, but he can still understand some basic conversations, and he can't help but say to Xiao Zifeng angrily: "Are you eating inside and out?" ”

"Huh? You know what I'm talking about? Xiao Zifeng said to Gao Lin in surprise, "Didn't you say that your English is very poor?" ”

"Fengshen, it's not that my brothers are talking about you, you said that you are a six-foot master, why do you do such a thing that worships foreign countries?" Yang Tianshui said.

"If it were in the Great Era, I would definitely not suspect that you are the traitor in our group!" Zhang Weiyong also said.
