Pretend to hate you [eSports]

When Cheng Yu saw what Captain Awei and Zhao said in the chat box, he quickly typed "Stop talking nonsense". As soon as he sent the message, the interface jumped and he started to choose a hero.

"What did you just say?" Shen Zheng turned his head and asked Cheng Yu.
"Nothing." Cheng Yu glanced at him quickly and started choosing a hero.
He stopped clicking the mouse and looked at Shen Zheng again. He seemed happy again?

"What's wrong?" Shen Zheng took off half of his headphones and asked inquiringly.
"No." Cheng Yu turned his head back, thinking that this guy has a very slow reaction time. He will never let He Si join the team again.

Entering the game, Awei's jungler Sun Sheng started typing.
Xiaosun: "Brother Card, I am your wife, please be gentle later~~"
The hero Cheng Yu chose was Card, and the hero Xiaosun chose was Widowmaker. Because the two heroes have linked skins, players have been joking that they are a pair.

Xiaosun: "Husband, please say something!"
Ssuger: “I threw up.”
Ssuger is Lingle’s ID, which means sweet candy.

Ssuger: "Please don't harass our mid laner."
Xiaoxun: "I call me my husband, what's it got to do with you?"
While Ling Le was talking to Xiao Sun, Shen Zheng ate Sun Sheng's blue.

Losing the blue buff at the beginning of the game is quite damaging for the jungler.
Sun Sheng discovered that his blue buff was on Shen Zheng, so he calmed down and stopped showing off.

Ten minutes later, Awei had a slight advantage, Cheng Yu and Shen Zheng's equipment was normal, while Lu Ming and Yan Shu were relatively poor.

Awei's men gathered in the middle lane to destroy Cheng Yu's middle lane tower.

Xiaosun: "Hubby, you said you love me, so I won't let them push your tower."
"We don't need the middle lane tower anymore." Cheng Yu said, "Let's retreat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zheng suddenly teleported to the enemy's rear. He used his skills smoothly and with a clear goal, to kill Sun Sheng on the opposite side.

"Save Shen Zheng." Cheng Yu was the first to react, and his men used their skills while speaking.
"What the hell? Boss, why did you suddenly come up?" Ling Le was dazed for a moment and quickly caught up.

This time, both sides of the team suffered heavy losses and no one benefited.

Xiaosun: "Oh my, my husband Captain Shen is bullying me!"
Shen Zheng was resurrected, and soon the message "wait to kill xiaosun" came.

xiaosun: "Captain Shen, do you not want the bottom lane tower anymore?"
wait kill xiaosun
xiaosun: “???”
wait kill xiaosun
Xiaosun: "I understand. I'll shut up."
wait kill xiaosun
The game was going on for 35 minutes and the situation was tense. No one dared to be careless. The slightest mistake could lead to being defeated by the opponent.
They were in front of the Baron, testing each other. Whoever killed the Baron first and got the buff would be the winner of the game.

"The fight is about to begin." Cheng Yu said in a serious tone, no longer as casual as usual, "Get ready to fight."
Ling Le: "Cheng Yu, look for an opportunity. If you think I can go, I will go right away."
The internal voice chat was silent for two seconds. Cheng Yu: "Ling Le is on the opposite ADC."
Ling Le didn't hesitate and went straight ahead.

This team battle started well, with the operations of Cheng Yu and Shen Zheng, the damage was maximum, and it seemed that the team leader was about to win.

After all, Awei is from the top team of LPL and is recognized as the No. 1 team in LPL by default in the e-sports circle. Even if it is a training match, beating Awei is something worth boosting the morale for Yuhuo now.

"He didn't dodge, hit him, hit him!" Ling Le followed Shen Zheng closely, wanting to restore his health. He pressed the skill several times but didn't release it.
"Eh? What's going on?" A disconnect prompt popped up on Lingle's interface.
Ling Le: "My internet connection is down, pause it!"
He quickly bent down to check the computer case and found that he had stepped on the network cable in his excitement.

Ling Le subconsciously looked at other people's screens and found that A Wei had already pushed down his team's high ground and the game was lost.
It only took ten seconds and we lost.

Ling Le stared blankly at the bright red word "failure" written on Yan Shu's face, and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
We were clearly going to win, but we lost because he was offline.

Cheng Yu took off his headphones, rubbed his neck and said, "I haven't had such a good fight in a long time. Are you still going to fight, Awei?"
Coach Wu put away his notebook and replied, "No more games. They have other training matches. Come on, review the game while it's hot."

The others pulled over chairs and sat in a circle around Coach Wu.
Shen Zheng's phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw a WeChat message from jungler Awei.

Sun Sheng: "Captain Shen's sudden targeting of me really makes me feel flattered. Could it be that you are attracted to me?"
Shen Zheng: "Be a good widow."
He put away his phone and sat next to Cheng Yu.

"You don't have to take Sun Sheng's words too seriously." Shen Zheng moved closer to Cheng Yu and said, "He just likes to make trouble."
"Ah?" Cheng Yu was puzzled. "What did you say?"

Shen Zheng: "What he said in the game."
Cheng Yu: "I didn't see it. I blocked him as soon as I entered the game."
Shen Zheng: "...Okay."

Coach Wu put on his glasses and flicked the small notebook with his index finger. He raised his eyes and locked his gaze on Shen Zheng.

"It's interesting today. Shen Zheng has also been scolded one day. Tell me, why are you so impulsive in this game? Don't tell me about your style. You've turned the back row into an assassin."
He called up the replay and found that Shen Zheng had taken 6 kills in total, 4 of which were when he ambushed and killed Sun Sheng alone. Sun Sheng died 4 times in total.

Shen Zheng looked indifferent, and said in a cold tone: "I want to win."
Coach Wu: "Who doesn't want to win? You made a long-range ADC look like an assassin. You shouldn't make such a mistake. You did it on purpose. Go back and reflect on it."
Shen Zheng: "Good coach."

He agreed verbally, but his face clearly said, "I'll do it again next time."

Coach Wu: "Next, Ling Le."
Ling Le's eyebrows drooped, he twisted his fingers and said in a crying voice: "Coach, I was wrong, I will never step on the net cable again..."
After half an hour of review, Coach Wu went through the first four players one by one, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy. Coach Wu: "Finally, Cheng Yu."
Cheng Yu straightened his back and waited for the lecture.

Coach Wu: "Just keep going."
Cheng Yu: “OK.”

Coach Wu: "To sum up this match with A-Wei, it can be summed up in two words: a rare defeat."
Coach Wu replayed the game and pointed out several key mismatches: "Most of our mistakes came from a lack of coordination. You were not familiar with Cheng Yu's style of play, and you couldn't keep up with Shen Zheng. This requires time and experience accumulation. Playing more will improve."

"Finally." Coach Wu put down his notebook and said solemnly, "I hope each of you will put all your energy into the remaining training games. When you meet Wei again in the spring game, you will show them a different kind of fire."

They were all young men in bright clothes and riding horses. Their morale was high and they immediately threw themselves into training with full confidence.

The five players were dizzy from the continuous training matches. At one o'clock in the morning, Ling Le was very sleepy. He got up, grabbed his things and called Lu Ming: "Let's go out and buy some coffee."
Lu Ming rubbed his eyes and said, "Call and have them deliver it."

Ling Le: "Let's go out and buy some, get some fresh air, and refresh ourselves."
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay."
Yan Shu stood up, picked up his coat and said, "I'll go too."

In the winter in Shencheng, the second half of the night is so cold that it almost freezes people to death.
Ling Le, Lu Ming and Yan Shu, the three of them walked together.

Ling Le: "Have you noticed that after Cheng Yu came, the boss's level has improved."
Lu Ming: "I felt it, especially when they were playing in a duo, it seemed like Captain Shen was letting go."

Ling Le: "I've been a little introverted these days because of the training matches. Although I win a lot, I always feel that winning has little to do with me."
Lu Ming: "In a five-person match, we can't win a single game without you."

Ling Le: "Hey... I was thinking, if I had given the boss a stronger assistant, we might have won the match against Wei today."
Lu Ming: "Don't think so. We didn't play very well today. The coach said it was a rare defeat."

Ling Le still sighed. He touched Yan Shu beside him and asked, "Yan Shu, what are you thinking? Why haven't you said anything for so long?"
Yan Shu looked up and saw that they had arrived at the coffee shop. He pushed the door open and said, "Try to improve your skills."

-

The 13-day devilish training was packed with activities every day, and everyone wanted to make use of every moment they had to catch their breath.
In Lu Ming's words, the number of games played in these 13 days is more than in the entire past year.

Two days before the spring season, the official Weibo account of Yuhuo announced that Cheng Yu would be the starting mid laner. Netizens were not surprised at all and were all joking that the official was the last to know that Cheng Yu would be the starting player.
The order of the games had already been decided by drawing lots, and the first game would be against the Black Hawks.

Black Hawk is an upper-middle team in the LPL and has introduced two strong foreign players this year.
Yuhuo played against Blackhawk in a training match, and the result was not optimistic.

The first game was played at the League of Legends home court, with the five members of the Fire Team preparing in the backcourt.

"Players, come on stage." The staff came over to announce, "It's time to start."
"Let's go." Coach Wu led the five people out in front.

The five people each held their own peripherals. When Lu Ming came on stage, the audience was relatively quiet. When Cheng Yu came on stage, there were sighs from little girls in the audience. One could even hear someone in the front row say, "His hair is really all white! So handsome!"

When Shen Zheng finally came on the court, the whole hall was in an uproar, with both men and women shouting "Captain Shen".
The contestants sat down and five of them put on headphones to tune the settings.

Ling Le: "Boss, your popularity is as good as ever! Cheng Yu is not bad either. You will definitely gain a lot of fans after this competition."
Cheng Yu tried to type back: "I don't care."

Ling Le leaned forward, looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "Eh? It's strange, I haven't seen you dye your hair in the past ten days, how come you don't have black roots? I see your hair has grown longer."
Upon hearing this, the others also looked towards Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu continued to adjust the mouse: "I told you, it's natural."
"What are you doing?" Ling Le didn't believe it. "How can a yellow person be born with white hair? Is there a genetic mutation?"
"Don't say useless things." Shen Zheng interrupted the conversation, "Have you figured out how to fight the Black Hawk?"
Ling Le: "Didn't I tell you before I went on stage? I'll use Cheng Yu's new tactics to catch them off guard."

After a few more words about tactics, the referee reminded everyone that the game had begun.
When it came to banning heroes, everything went smoothly. When it came to selecting heroes, the first three picks also went according to Yuhuo's plan. But when it came to the fourth pick, the situation changed instantly.

Ling Le: "Eh? What's going on? Why do I feel like Black Hawk is targeting our new tactics?"
Yuhuo's new tactics were not shown to anyone, nor were they played in training matches. They were practiced privately all the time, with the goal of getting their first win to boost morale.
But now in the stage of selecting players, Yuhuo had already been targeted by Black Hawk before he could reveal the key points of his tactics.

Lu Ming: "That's not right. Black Hawk never plays this style of play. They deliberately chose heroes to target our new strategy. There's something wrong with that!"
The five people who had gone through fire and fire plus Coach Wu, everyone knew clearly when looking at the selection interface that there was only one possibility that could lead to such an embarrassing result.

Someone leaked the information to Black Hawk in advance.
