You are number one in the world, do you have to be obsessed with the whole job?

Chapter 204 Hello, I am Xu Cheng, captain of the national team!The Asian Games journey begins! 【Ask monthly ticket】

"...Fortunately, this list is already the strongest among domestic players."

The starting mid laner Xiye.

In fact, Xu Cheng himself had expected this.

The only one who can compete with Xiye is Xiaohu, but considering the game between all parties, it is clear that WE won in the end.

But RNG is not at a loss. Xiao Ming is selected, even if he will be replaced by a substitute, it is a real promotion from an e-sports player to a national athlete.

"Get ready... In the future, you will not only be e-sports players, but also nationally certified athletes."

Ed Zhu is full of enthusiasm. This time EDG directly selected four people, which has already swelled his ambition to the extreme——

It is worth noting that the Asian Games in this world do not have an exhibition game, but a real official event.

That night, Xu Cheng and Tian Ye, who had received accurate information, went back to prepare.

Time is like water, fleeting.

In early November.

There is still more than a month until the opening ceremony of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games.

The starting members of the national team representing the country have assembled.

At eight o'clock that night, the official and the official central media jointly announced this news that affected the nerves and interests of countless people.

The specific list is as follows -

Top order: Xu Cheng (Murder).

Jungler: Liu Shiyu (MLXG).

Mid laner: Su Hanwei (Xiye).

ADC: Jane Pride (Uzi).

Support: Field (Meiko).

Substitute: Shi Senming (Ming).

Substitute: Ke Changyu (957).

Head Coach: Ji Xing (Aaron).

Psychological counseling: Yan Bing (mental coach of the national team).

Teaching assistants: Zhang Li, Wang Song, Li Bin...

As soon as this list came out, it was considered a blockbuster dropped in the long-sustained LPL.

The five most-watched members of the national team, including substitutes, save for minor differences.

The staff did not exceed expectations.

Because the Asian Games are different from ordinary leagues and even S games.

This is truly representing the country.

Therefore, participating team members must also be required to be of their own nationality.

In other words, you have to be rooted and young.

With this one condition, a large number of powerful Korean players from LPL have been eliminated.

Then without Korean aid, who would be the top five positions in the country?
Pretty much the same as the above list.

And this roster, like this year's All-Star roster, is well-received.

The coach is Abu who took EDG and won China's first world championship.

In terms of assistant coaches, almost all teams in the LPL division have sent their strongest coaches, Feng Ge, Steak, White Crescent... These are all impressive.

It can be regarded as the most luxurious and best-equipped coaching team in the history of the LPL division.

Only other configurators.

Such as psychological counselors, etc...

Yan Bing...

Who is Yan Bing?

This is the designated psychological counseling coach of the Chinese women's table tennis team!
He was also the Olympic coach of the National Swimming Team!

Yan Bing joined the national e-sports team as a psychological counselor!
There are also some other personnel who have served in the national team...

What kind of treatment is this?
What lineup is this?
luxury?

No!This is already the real Olympic team!

It can be seen from this point.

The country has very high expectations for the newly established national e-sports team!
[I am super!I was shocked! 】

[Teacher Yan Bing is actually on the list... the real card! 】

[It's outrageous that [-] of EDG's selections were made, but when you think about it carefully, you have nothing to say...]

【Asian Games?national team? That's all for the EDG second team! 】

[There is no problem at all with Buddha's debut, the world's number one top order, okay! 】

[Murder is naturally expected by everyone, but I don't quite understand that the director is not on the incense pot!Obviously the factory manager is the world champion of the S competition...]

[Is no one paying attention to the mid laner? If Scout's nationality is wrong, he can't get on, but isn't Xiaohu better than lotion? ? 】

Controversy over the list is inevitable.

One of the most controversial links is the question of who will be the factory director and the incense pot.

Although the factory director has disappeared this year, he is basically in a retired state.

But because EDG won the championship this year by realizing its dream, the popularity and enthusiasm of the factory manager is still very high.

On the final list, there was no factory director, not even a substitute.Many people are very puzzled.

In this regard, a person familiar with the matter revealed:

"Originally, the factory director was on the list, but he asked to quit on his own initiative."

"The reason... The factory manager has long thought of retiring. He hasn't played a game for a long time, so he is obviously going to retire, and Xiangguo is indeed EDG's own person now."

These remarks have attracted everyone's attention.

Soon after, the EDG official blog personally confirmed the statement.

For a while, everyone died down.

Some old fans of the factory manager were depressed.

【Alas... the factory manager finally decided to retire...】

[It's time to retire, the last highlight of S7, retiring at the peak time, is the most perfect curtain call...]

After the loss, everyone expressed their understanding.

This is the end.

The official roster of the national e-sports team for the Asian Games was officially announced.

from this day.

The national team headed by Xu Cheng has been absent from LPL games from time to time.

Even when participating in the competition, the director will not show the camera, and there is no way to talk about the interview after the competition.

This is also one of the regulations of the Asian Games.

Before the opening of the Asian Games, it is difficult for players who participated in the Asian Games to show up too much, and exposure to the camera is not allowed.

The national team is not the same as your own team.

Still the same sentence, Xu Cheng and others, now represent the country!
Compelling style and conception have already been infinitely high.

In this way, more than a month passed.

8 month 17 number.

The day before the opening of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games.

The official blog of the Asian Games Organizing Committee made a speech. After internal discussions, Xu Cheng (IDMurder) is now appointed as the captain of the national e-sports team for the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games!
And join other athletes from the country to participate in the grand opening ceremony of the Asian Games!
8 month 18 number.

At the end of the grand Asian Games ceremony, Xu Cheng wore an exclusive Asian Games national team uniform, a bright red torch, and bright red flags printed on it.

Holding a torch in his hand, he relayed the first fire belonging to Chinese e-sports...

At 9 o'clock, the opening ceremony ends.

The 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, which has attracted hundreds of millions of attention from all over the world, has officially started.

However, for countless e-sports viewers, there are still nearly ten days before the official e-sports project starts.

of course.

This is not to say that within these ten days, everyone will have nothing to do.

Quite the opposite.

As early as not long ago, the LPL division had announced an indefinite suspension.

The game will not restart until the e-sports event of the Asian Games is over.

Not just the LPL.

Various regions in Asia have announced suspension at this moment.

During these nearly ten days, 48 ​​countries from Asia will compete and compete fiercely without public broadcasting.

Until August 8th, the eight strongest teams will eventually compete.

These eight most powerful national teams have the qualifications to be broadcast live all over the world.

In the end, they competed for the champion and gold medalist of this year's Asian Games.

During this period, since the game is not open to the public, any slight disturbance and the results of the game every day will affect the hearts of countless spectators and fans.

Even the country is always paying attention.

Because the victory or defeat of Xu Cheng and others is related to the honor of the country!
Fortunately, among the 48 countries in Asia, the e-sports strength of most countries is actually very hip.

Small countries like those are simply incomparable with the powerful LPL, which ranks among the top in the world.

On the second day of the Asian Games closed qualifying competition, news came out.

The national team of a small country in East Asia, when facing the Chinese national team, was flattened by the speed of light in 13 minutes!

13 minutes, another record number!
Not even a chance of fifteen shots!

As soon as this news came out, the whole country was revitalized, and countless domestic audiences shouted excitedly!
The voice of cheering for the national team is getting higher and higher day by day.

And this time.

After a few days of discussion, the Asian divisions such as the LPL, which were originally suspended, had to continue the competition...

This is also impossible.

The previous suspension was really sincere and fearful, and it also attached importance to the Asian Games.

But now...it's already August.

It is less than two months or even a month before the opening of the 2018 Global Finals!
During this period of time, when the major competition regions around the world are officially launching their efforts, everyone is working hard for the final grand ceremony at the end of the year.

If the Asian region is suspended, the progress of Europe and the United States will definitely surpass that of Asia.

What's more...

Ten days of non-competition is also very unfriendly to the hand feeling of many teams and players.

Therefore, Asian countries can only grit their teeth and continue their journey to the summer split under pressure...

It's a pity that the game started, but not many people paid attention at all.

This year's Asian Games, each country has already sent the most elite, strongest, and even the most popular players in their own country to the Asian Games.

This is the event that attracts the attention of the world.

Without these players, the Asian Games are so important that countless viewers have no interest in the summer games.

In this way, countless people are still staring at the Asian Games qualifiers every day.

Time passes day by day.

The team of the Chinese national team has always had good news, which made countless people relax a lot.

In the blink of an eye, 8 days have passed.

8 month 25 number.

On this day, the highly competitive qualifying round of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games finally came to an end.

That night, the Asian Games Organizing Committee and the League of Legends official Weibo announced the list of eight teams selected for this year's Asian Games.

The eight teams that advanced to the quarterfinals are——

East Asia: China Team, China Gulf Team, South Korea Team
Southeast Asia: Team Vietnam

South Asia: Pakistan Team
Central Asia: Team Kazakhstan

West Asia: Saudi Arabia team

And the host of the current Asian Games: the Indonesian team
Among the eight representative teams, the East Asian region is undoubtedly the dominant level.

Look at the specific record of the play-in competition announced together with the list.

The Chinese representative team, the China Wanwan representative team, and the South Korean representative team occupied the top three seats in the quarterfinals.

Among them, the records of the Chinese and Korean teams are exactly the same, both 8/2.

This result was released, instantly making countless audiences rejoice.

After all, this time is a pure Chinese team. The five starters, including the coach and the substitute, are all Huazi.

Five Huazi can still achieve such a result, it is indeed worthy of everyone's celebration.

However, the strength of the South Korean team also made some people feel a little hazy.

The Korean team lineup this year is Kiin, Peanut, Faker, Ruler, CoreJJ.

Substitute: Sore.

With this lineup, coupled with the excellent results in the play-in competition, it can be seen that the South Korean team did not have any slack or decline because of the loss in S7 last year.

As always, the vigor made everyone aware of it.

The South Korean team may be their biggest enemy to win the gold medal in this year's Asian Games!
……

In fact, it is not bad as everyone expected.

8 month 28 number.

At eight o'clock that night, the e-sports event of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, which was broadcast live by CCTV [-] and assisted by platforms such as Dousha Maoya, officially kicked off.

Not long after the broadcast started, both the ratings and the number of viewers of the online live broadcast reached record highs, even comparable to the S7 Global Finals at one point!

The hot search outside is full of people discussing the national e-sports team everywhere.

Some elderly people who usually have a prejudice against e-sports are also anxiously watching the TV at this moment.

No way!

Who made e-sports represent the country and win gold medals?
Rising to this level has long been beyond the reach of ordinary leagues.

What's more, no one will treat the five teenagers on the TV as Internet addicts who are not doing their jobs.

in contrast.

They are heroes!Be a national hero!

It is like the Olympic athletes, the pride of the country!
At this moment, they are representing the country and fighting in Jakarta, thousands of miles away.

Wanting to aim at the gold medal, the song of the red flag resounds!
Win glory for the country and raise our prestige!
Under this expectation, the performance of the Chinese national team on the first day was also very impressive.

When playing against the Arabo team, they easily achieved a BO3 victory and won the game with a crushing score of 2/0.

It's just that it's the second BO3, when playing against the South Korean team.

Maybe it's because of his debut on TV, and the rigid and helpless rotation in the team is too blunt.

Or, being the attention of the national audience, the mental pressure is a bit high.

Facing the strongest opponent, the national team lost for the first time under the attention of the people of the whole country.

The Chinese representative team lost to the imposing South Korean representative team with a score of 1/2.

The e-sports event of the Asian Games will be held for four days. During the four competition days, eight teams will be divided into two groups, A and B.

The teams in each group must finish all the group matches and semi-finals within these three days.

On the last day, the Asian Games Finals will be held.

On the first day, they had one win and one loss, but the team that lost was South Korea's strongest team and the team that audiences across the country were least willing to lose.

All of a sudden, whether it was the pressure from the outside world or the psychological pressure of Xu Cheng and others, they all became extremely heavy.

Since the Asian Games are in a fully closed state, the players have no way to contact the outside world.

Xu Cheng didn't know what the current public opinion was like outside.

But as you can imagine, it must be bad.

In this state, the national team learned from the pain, specified tactics overnight, and re-planned the positions of team members.

If the auxiliary position is possible, you must not continue to play rotation.

They played against weak teams before, so everyone was inevitably a little slack, and they didn't care about the rotation.

Because after all, this is different from before, and now there are rules that bind them all the time.

The defeat until today, like a slap in the face, woke up everyone in the national team!

Now it's the Asian Games!
Audiences across the country are staring at them around the TV!

How can you lose? !
In a short period of time, Abramovich has done everything he can, and the players started the journey of the second day.

The decisive change has achieved results, because in addition to the mid laner, the uncertain rotation is resolved, and now this national team is really the second team of EDG.

We are all old teammates, so the cooperation is naturally more skillful and tacit.

On the second day of the Asian Games, the national team achieved a complete victory record.

On the same day, the South Korean team also achieved a complete victory record.

The situation of the two heroes fighting for hegemony continued until the third match day.

Semi-finals.

The Chinese team played against China Wanwan, and the South Korean team played against Pakistan.

The result did not go beyond the speculation of countless outside media.

The South Korean team easily advanced to the final 3/0.

The Chinese team advanced with the same result.

To fill the vacant final seat of this year's Asian Games finals.

That night, domestic hot searches took off, and the central media personally reported it.

The cards are full and the heat is overwhelming.

9 month 1 number.

The final day of the Asian Games e-sports event.

On this day, Rita, Wang Duoduo, and Long Mao, who have a university degree and have been specially trained, were appointed to commentate the finals of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games.

Yu Shuang and Sa Bei from Central Media hosted the post-match interview.

On this day, almost everyone in the country was tuned to a TV station.

For the first time, young people watch e-sports games with their elders.

It was hard to believe that such a happy scene was placed a few years ago.

"Manman, do you think our country can win?"

An elderly grandma, sitting nervously by the TV, asked her granddaughter, who was already a freshman.

"It's definitely possible." Granddaughter Manman is very sure: "Master Buddha...Xu Cheng is very strong, he is the strongest player in our country this year!"

"Well... I heard from the news that e-sports is now an official event, and if you win, you will get a gold medal... Not long ago, we lost to the Korean team in other sports, so we must win this time."

The old lady doesn't understand e-sports, but as a glorious retired cadre, she is very concerned about whether the country can win the gold medal.

From the current point of view, China is undoubtedly still the Asian lion this year, NO1.

The number of medal pools is much higher than other countries.

But the problem now is that not long ago, there happened to be a project lost to the South Korean team, and there was a certain amount of international disturbance.

So now the public opinion situation in the outside world is very severe and Alexander.

As a new event selected for the Asian Games for the first time, can e-sports win face for the country and feel proud?
The decision is in the hands of ten players from two countries on the field!

"I'm going out for a cigarette."

My father is also a soldier, and he will not miss every Olympic and Asian Games.

Seeing such a tense situation at this moment, I couldn't help getting up and going out to light a cigarette.

"Tell me, I didn't dare to think about it before. Playing games can win glory for the country." Mother shook her head and sighed beside her.

"Sister-in-law, you don't understand this. E-sports is an officially recognized competitive sport. These children are serious national athletes, and they have athlete certificates issued by the Asian Games Organizing Committee..."

The aunt said with a smile: "You guys, you used to look down on others, but now you are all staring at each other..."

"Hey, who would have thought that."

The mother was more open-minded, waved her hand, and looked at the TV screen again.

Can't help but said: "Look at the boys in our country, they are a little nervous today..."

in the TV lens.

The players on both sides have been sitting for a long time, waiting quietly for the referee to insist that the finals will begin.

The camera showed Xu Cheng, who was dressed in a colorful Asian Games uniform, his face was not as vigorous as on the field, and he was very stern.

The same is true for the rest, and they are really nervous.

Brother Zaozi's face, which was rare, began to blush even before the game started.

While blushing and having a thick neck, he unconsciously gnawed on his fingers.

True classic.

"Mom, you don't understand Buddha...Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng has always been like this. Usually he plays well when he smiles, but when he doesn't laugh...it's even more terrifying, explode Carry!"

"Oh? Exploding Carry? What does that mean?"

"Uh...Carry means...play well! Beat Han Guo hard!!"

"Is it so powerful..."

Mother was very surprised, "I heard you keep talking about that Xu Cheng... who is that young man?"

Manman smiled and said, "That's the most handsome one on TV!"

"..."

"I've heard that in your e-sports event, South Korea has always been ranked first in the past, and it seems to have won many world championships. Moreover, in this year's Asian Games, we seem to have lost to the Korean team."

The mother turned her head and looked at her daughter suspiciously.

This is not the same as the "insider" of the e-sports circle that she has deliberately inquired about in the past few days.

"Um…"

What he said was a little speechless: "Mom, you are an old Huangli. Since last year, our country has been winning, and even won the world championship. It was Xu Cheng...he won it!"

"Oh, that's it..." Mother nodded, "That will definitely win..."

……

"Dad, do you think you can win?"

Inside a luxurious villa in Shanghai.

Wang Shoufu, who had a rare rest, and his son, Principal Wang, were also watching a live broadcast of the e-sports finals.

There are also many financial and investment professionals in suits and leather shoes standing next to them.

"You ask me? Aren't you the first to engage in e-sports, and you can't predict it in your heart?"

The richest king was speechless when he heard his son ask this question.

However, he has become more and more satisfied with this son during this time.

Although Principal Wang has many shortcomings... I heard that he has been licking a female Internet celebrity recently.

but……

It has to be said that President Wang, as the first pioneer to invest in the e-sports industry, not only helped the development of the e-sports industry.

Similarly, with the development of e-sports projects so far, it seems that it is time to feed them back.

Wang Shoufu didn't take e-sports seriously before, he only thought that his son liked to play.

Since you like it, play it.

Unexpectedly... the e-sports event was suddenly selected for the Asian Games, and it became an official event!
Recorded in the national medal pool, the kind that is tied with swimming, table tennis, and basketball!

This has to be taken seriously.

For this reason, he deliberately pushed a lot of work today, just to see with his own eyes whether the first shot of the e-sports industry in the Asian Games can be fired!

"This is much more stressful than I thought before..."

Principal Wang said with a wry smile: "I was originally selected for the official project, and it has already taken off. Who knows that something like this has happened now. I still underestimated the status of gold medals in the hearts of Chinese people..."

"In this case, the outcome of this game is not just a simple game outcome."

"If we win, it will be an opportunity to honor our ancestors and make our name last forever."

"Um…"

Wang Shoufu nodded happily, feeling that his son has made progress and is not as useless as the outside world said.

"But opportunity is also pressure!"

"Let's see if these guys can withstand this pressure..."

Wang's richest man's eyes fell on Xu Cheng, who was in close-up of the camera.

"Is he the one you've always wanted?"

"Yes."

"If you really win today, he will be yours."

"Ah?" Principal Wang was taken aback.

"The money is not enough, I will subsidize it for you, our family has nothing else but a lot of money!"

The richest man waved his hand, and said in high spirits: "Football, I haven't done anything famous. Seeing that e-sports is about to enter a high-speed development, this time we must catch up with this train."

"Even if you throw money at him, I'll help you throw him over!"

"dad!"

Principal Wang had tears in his eyes and was very moved!

"Let's watch the game..."

Wang Shoufu downplayed it, showed his demeanor as a big boss, and returned his attention to the game.

at the same time.

There are many others.

The EDG club, the entire e-sports circle, the people of the whole country, and even countless traditional sports circles, the top bigwigs.

All locked in the Asian Games finals that have already started.

The five teenagers on the field at the moment are the ones who will decide whether China will be number one this year!
Just as if things backfired.

In the finals, it is destined to leave many twists and turns and unforgettable memories in everyone's hearts.

The first game of BO5 in the Asian Games Finals.
