At exactly 3:00 pm, there are three hours left before the Scorpio Cup quarterfinals that start at 6:00 pm.

In the hotel room, some of the Great Wall Team members were lying on the bed to rest, some leaned on the sofa and played with their phones boredly, and some turned on the TV and pressed the remote control to change the station one by one to watch.

As time approached the start of the competition, the joyful and relaxed atmosphere in the room became a little quiet and solemn.

After all, this has reached the top 16, and it has taken another step to the championship trophy, which also means that you must be careful in every step next, and you must never make any mistakes or omissions.

Otherwise, it would be a fate that would be eliminated and return home in shame.

And this result is definitely not what anyone in the Great Wall Team hopes to see.

But being cautious is one thing, but the opponent's strength is not something they can decide.

Although everyone was optimistic about this round of 16-to-8 knockout round, and the group allocation they drew was quite ideal, after all, the teams that could reach the top 16 of the Scorpio Cup would never have half a weak person. They were all strong teams that had advanced through three rounds of knockout rounds from more than a dozen cities in East China Province.

Therefore, even if it is their opponent tonight, the strength of the frozen team should not be underestimated.

At this moment, even the Russian, who had just swore that "I will definitely beat the other side tonight" said with some confidence:

"Hey... there shouldn't be any problem with this round tonight, right?"

Brother Liu glanced at the Russian in anger: "Can you say something good?"

The Maozi looked confused: "No, I just worry, will we not adapt to the keyboard and mouse configurations on their side, and then we will not be able to exert 100% strength..."

Achuan shook his head: "The other guys must have the same standard competitive configuration as before. Besides, if we really can't adapt, the other guys may not get used to it, and the frozen team may not get used to it."

The Russian scratched his head: "Hey, I'm not worried... Oh, will you tell me then..."

Before he finished speaking, Lao Jiao could no longer listen, so he interrupted and complained: "Where did you get so many accidents? How could you cleanse the crow's mouth now? If something really happens, will you take the blame?"

The Russian obediently stopped talking, but he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "I'm just worried about something wrong..."

...

Several people from the team were chatting. At the other end of the room, Lin Xiao, who was sitting at the table, was holding the English vocabulary book and memorizing it. When he memorized it halfway, he put the book together and turned his head to look at Jiang Ran:

"Hey, how did you do the last mock exam?"

As the event approached, Jiang Ran was stunned by Lin Xiao's sudden outrageous words, and then replied: "On average, there are more than 100 people in the year."

Lin Xiao nodded as if he understood and commented: "Oh, that's not bad. By the way, where are you planning to take the college entrance examination?"

Jiang Ran thought for a while and said, "I don't want to be too far away from home. I should be in the province. Maybe it's mainly because I'm considering the university in S City."

Lin Xiao was happy to hear it: "That happens to be the same as my plan!"

He really has reason to be happy.

Because although he and Jiang Ran are both in the same high school and usually meet and get together for a lot of time, after the college entrance examination, if one goes to the north and the other stays in the south, their team will automatically fall apart.

After all, this is no longer the era when No team had only played online games and never showed up in real people. If even the players could not get together in reality, let alone the professional team.

According to Jiang Ran's current answer, the two of them should still have a good chance of being in the same city or even in the same university. Then the mid-lane candidates of Lin Xiao's team can finally continue to remain stable and there will be no unexpected situations.

"Hey, have you decided what kind of application or major to fill out?" Lin Xiao asked in anger, and pulled Jiang Ran to introduce his experience in a row: "I wanted me to take the exam for Fudan before, but Fudan is not in the top 20 in the year, so I can't stay stable. But Jiaotong University is actually not good, and the admission score will be lower..."

Jiang Ran was a little confused by Lin Xiao, and he also felt a sense of time and space disorder-

Shouldn’t they discuss the upcoming Scorpio Cup match now? It’s just right to analyze and study the tactics of the Frozen Team and their targeted methods. Why do they feel like they are back in school and listening to the teacher’s speech on filling out their applications?

Unable to hold back, Jiang Ran interrupted Lin Xiaotao's endless experience introduction and asked: "Aren't you worried about the game later?"

When his words were interrupted, Lin Xiao looked at Jiang Ran with some confusion and asked, "Are you worried?"

Jiang Ran hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Lin Xiao vowed: "What's there to worry about? Didn't I say that the core of other people's tactics revolve around the top singles. If the top singles collapse, the overall situation will collapse. If you seize this point and target it, it will definitely be fine."

Jiang Ran hesitated a little: "But..."

What he wanted to say is that even if these tactics are formulated and even if such targeting is effective in theory, there will still be too many variables in actual combat on the field. In the first game, Lin Xiao said that he did not plan to play, so their entire Great Wall team would have no most reliable and reliable backbone-

In this case, even Jiang Ran, who usually looks calm and has strong psychological qualities, will inevitably feel a little unconfident.

However, before Jiang Ran finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Xiaoman's indifferent hand: "Hey, nothing, don't worry about it too much, if you worry too much, it will affect your performance..."

Jiang Ran pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly.

This kind of thing is right and sounds easy, but it is still difficult to overcome this psychological problem if you really put it on yourself...

"I'll discuss the tactics with the Russians again."

After leaving this sentence, Jiang Ran got up and walked towards the sofa and coffee table on the other end of the room.

Looking at Jiang Ran's back walking away, Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "Sure enough, psychological quality is still a big problem... If you have this worry, you can memorize more words and prepare for the next simulation exam..."

"Well, next mock exam-"

After subconsciously repeating it, Lin Xiao felt that he had neglected to forget something.

He thought about it seriously and finally he sighed and gave up: "Oh, my memory is getting worse and worse..."

...

At midnight, 5:30.

Qian Youlu looked at the pointer time on his watch and looked up at the team members in the room: "It's almost done, let's go."

"Let's go!" Brother Liu was the first to get up.

Then the rest of the people, including Lin Xiao, stood up one after another.

The Russian who was regaining his spirit and fighting spirit screamed: "Brothers, please give me some strength, and today I will win the 5th wave in three games!"

At the same time, it was also in a dormitory in a female dormitory building of East China University of Finance and Economics, also in S City.

"Xiao Wu, you really don't go with me..."

Aya leaned against the door and looked pitifully at her roommate sitting at the table.

Qiao Xinwu waved her hand: "I won't go. Today, I will only play the two groups in the top 16. Don't our school students wait until tomorrow? Then I'll just go and work hard tomorrow."

Aya argued: "But it is appropriate to explore the strength of other teams in advance! Be prepared for any accidents and plan ahead, right?"

Qiao Xinwu smiled again: "That's also the task of the e-sports club team. I am a little rookie, so how can I be patient with that kind of heart."

Aya said, "Hey, so Chu He, Feng Mu and the others have all gone... It's so good that you come too, it's more crowded and lively!"

As she said that, her eyes rolled and she laughed, "And Zheng Tian has also gone there. When he called me, he kept beating indirectly asking if you are coming~"

Qiao Xinwu sighed: "So I don't want to go..."
