My Teammates Are All Crazy
Chapter 88
"Yes, we're back."
Qin Fei said to himself, not caring if anyone could hear him.
In the invitational tournament before the official tournament, the officials had chosen SOS between PG and SOS. This meant that PG had lost the chance to advance to the point competition before the official tournament. They had to start from the qualifiers, go through the group stage, the knockout stage, and so on. They had to overcome all obstacles and fight their way into the top eight with their absolute strength.
At the beginning of the tournament, all the players who supported PG were worried for PG.
However, as the tournament progressed, PG's strength exceeded everyone's expectations.
This season's PGs were as ferocious as before, but they were more stable and mature. If someone were to compare the results of PGs in the past two seasons, they would realize that this season's PGs had taken as many kills as the previous season, but their survival rate had greatly increased!
Not only was PG back, but he was even stronger!
Following the host's introduction, PG entered the arena. Wearing their team uniforms, they stood neatly under the dazzling spotlights. Everyone seemed to be glowing.
In the audience, applause and cheers rose and fell one after another. Some people even excitedly waved homemade support signs with pictures of the five players during the knockout stage.
They had also overcome all obstacles and fought their way into the top eight. This time, no one doubted PG's strength!
Looking at the crowd of support signs from afar, Luo Yiming couldn't help but complain, "I suddenly feel like we're holding a concert!"
His voice was very loud. Standing beside him, Han Leng heard him and instinctively replied, "Maybe it's because of Brother Fei and Jing Yu's good looks!"
There were indeed a lot of people who were attracted by Qin Fei and Jing Yu's good looks. Most of them were female fans.
Some liked Qin Fei's handsomeness, some liked Jing Yu's cuteness, and some liked the indescribable harmony when the two of them stood together.
After PG's players were seated, the host's introduction came to an end. [Okay, now that the eight strong teams are here, let's quickly start the first part of the point competition — drawing lots!]
Following his words, a form suddenly appeared on the big screen above the arena.
The first line of the form was the date: The competition would last for seven days, so the dates of the seven days were marked, from the 22nd to the 28th.
The first column was the time. There were four matches a day, so the times of the four matches were marked: 9 am, 1 pm, 5 pm, and 9 pm.
That's right, this was the schedule for the Top 8 Tournament.
However, at this moment, this form did not have the names of the teams, only the numbers.
For example, the first match on the first day was 1vs2, the second match was 3vs4, and so on.
Now, all the teams would draw their own numbers in order to determine the competition schedule for the top eight.
Ye Hong: "If I remember correctly, the computer used to sort everything automatically?"
At this time, the stadium was much quieter, so PG's teammates all heard Ye Hong's words and responded one after another:
Luo Yiming: "Yeah, why is it so complicated now?"
Han Leng: "It's an offline competition, so of course I have to act cool."
Ye Hong: "So who should we send up later?"
Luo Yiming: "Jing Yu!"
Han Leng: "I vote for Jing Yu!"
… I knew it.
Jing Yu smiled helplessly.
Xiao Yun said that he was PG's favorite, but he didn't think so at all. Look at how happy his teammates were egging him on!
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Qin Fei, but he didn't expect that Qin Fei was also looking at him. Seeing him look over, Qin Fei couldn't help but smile and encourage him. "I'll leave it to you, good luck."
Jing Yu: "Yeah!
I'll do my best! "
He suddenly became excited, and he couldn't wait to rush up the stage and draw his number.
However, just as Jing Yu was about to give it a try, Ye Hong poured cold water on him. "Hahaha, what do you mean by 'good luck'?
We're the last to go up, we don't have a choice! "
That's right … Jing Yu suddenly felt that he was a bit stupid for being so excited.
Qin Fei couldn't help but laugh when he saw how self-deprecating he was. He raised his hand and patted his head. "Just think of it as going for a walk."
Jing Yu narrowed his eyes comfortably. "Yeah."
[First, let's invite the first team to come up on stage and draw their number!]
The host looked at My team. [Who is My team going to send up?
Haha, it's our captain!]
My team didn't hesitate for long before sending their captain and mid laner onto the stage.
This mature and reliable man walked up to the host and put his hand into the lottery box with a serious face. Finally, he pulled out a purple ball with the number 4 on it.
Host: [My's number is out!
It's number 4!]
Following the host's words, the number 4 on the big screen was replaced with "My" in an instant.
"Number 4 … Today's match is at 1 PM?" Han Leng said as he looked at the form.
"Yeah," Ye Hong replied. "Today's match in the afternoon is better, so there's still time to prepare.
If it's the first match in the morning, we'll start the match as soon as we find out who our opponent is. We won't be prepared at all. "
Luo Yiming: "I don't know which team will be so unlucky as to draw the morning match."
The second team to draw their number was Kid. They drew a blue ball. Number 2 — the first match of the morning.
Luo Yiming: "Pfff — —"
Ye Hong: "Hahaha, I'm happy to see that!"
Han Leng: "But Kid is very strong. I don't know which team is so unlucky as to meet them on the first day, and it's the first match of the morning too. They're completely unprepared."
During the official finals, the commentators thought that PG and ANE were archenemies.
Maybe that was true for ANE, but for PG, they only had one archenemy. It wasn't ANE, but Kid.
This team had decisively kicked Fang Luofan out of the team because of his injury. Luo Yiming liked to attack close to his face, so they didn't let him play. Clearly, PG's hatred was at its maximum.
Fang Luofan wanted to see this team lose even in his dreams. Luo Yiming also wanted to shoot this team that had played him for months into a sieve.
They didn't let him play and didn't allow him to transfer. Kid's face was as big as the moon!
However, Kid's strength was there for all to see. Last season, he was second in the finals, and this season, he was first in the invitational.
It wouldn't be easy for PG to see Kid lose.
They didn't know how they would play against Kid now.
The third team to draw their number was JOK. They drew a green ball — Number 6.
The fourth team was Bal.c. They drew a brown ball — Number 7.
The fifth team was Rule. They drew a black ball — Number 8.
"Woah, Bal.c and Rule?" Ye Hong raised his eyebrows. "The two teams are about the same in strength. I think it'll be a stalemate."
"Not necessarily." Qin Fei replied. "Rule's ranking is the same as SOS. They get worse every season.
If SOS's decline is due to their age, then Rule's decline is completely due to their lineup. "
Rule's team liked to play with the same lineup until the end. Unless their first pick was banned, they wouldn't change their lineup even if they lost a match. They played stubbornly and inflexibly.
They thought that they would be invincible if they trained a demon well. However, they didn't know that after a few seasons, other teams had already thoroughly studied their lineup and playstyle. They had formulated a series of countermeasures against them.
"If Rule is still so conservative this season, they will pay a heavy price." Qin Fei predicted.
Ye Hong was skeptical.
The sixth team to draw their number was SKR. 1. They drew an orange ball — Number 5.
This meant that their opponent would be Jok, who had drawn number 6.
Ye Hong: "Terrible."
Han Leng: "I'm up against Jok in the first match. What a tragedy."
SKR. 1 and Rule were polar opposites. If Rule was conservative, then SKR. 1 was crazy at any time. They never had a fixed lineup and played very flexibly. The lineup they used in the Pro League was their first attempt. They played as they practiced, so they had a lot of openings and couldn't move up in the rankings.
However, why did this style sound so familiar?
Jing Yu silently looked at his teammates and didn't say anything.
Finally, the draw came to an end. There were only two teams left to draw.
ANE was the first to go on stage. They drew a red ball — Number 3.
Their opponent was the previous season's champion — My.
ANE's jungler, Fly, was sent to the stage to draw their number. He stared blankly at the screen as Number 3 was replaced by ANE's team name.
Luo Yiming laughed without restraint. "Hahaha!
There's a team even worse than SKR.
They're directly facing the champion team! "
After laughing, he realized that his teammates were not saying anything. He turned his head in confusion and saw Han Leng frowning, as well as Ye Hong, who was on the verge of tears.
Luo Yiming didn't understand. "What's wrong with you guys?"
Qin Fei calmly glanced at him and kindly reminded him. "What's the last number?"
Luo Yiming looked at the screen. "There's only Number 1 left — Wow!
We're Number 1! "
Ye Hong sighed as if he had lost his life. "I say … look again. Who's Number 1's opponent today?"
Luo Yiming looked carefully. His face twisted. "Kid …"
— Today's first match, pgkid.
A few minutes ago, they were still rejoicing in kid's misfortune. They sympathized with his opponent today.
Now, a few minutes later, they were speechless as they looked at the number 1 on the schedule.
Following the host's invitation, Jing Yu calmly stood up and went up to the stage. He took out the last ball in the box: the yellow Number 1 ball. There was no suspense.
The audience sighed. They were all sighing at PG's luck — it was really too bad.
ANE couldn't help but sigh. "I thought we were already miserable enough. I didn't expect PG to be the most miserable."
One was the 8th place team that had been crushed by seven teams in the previous season's points competition. The other was the 1st place team in this season's invitational tournament.
The two teams with such a huge disparity in rankings were going to meet each other in such an unprepared situation.
How would they end up fighting?
The host said something else, but PG wasn't listening.
Jing Yu nervously asked Luo Yiming. "I remember that kid likes to use a double archer formation?
What archers are they good at? "
Luo Yiming was silent for a while before replying. He said, "There's no archer that kid isn't good at."
Hearing this, Jing Yu stared blankly. Before he could react, he heard Luo Yiming say seriously, "This match, we definitely can't lose!
I'd rather lose to ANE than lose to kid! "
