S10's All-Star event set a record for the highest viewership in the history of the League.
In the past, the All-Stars were randomly divided into 5v5 turrets. The content was similar to a normal match, so it was easy for the audience to get tired of it. This year, whether it was the original entertainment mode "Clone Battle", "Border Breakout", or the new mode "Treasure Chest Battle", the audience enjoyed it.
Everyone realized that the entertainment mode was actually more interesting than the ranked matches. If you met a bad teammate, you wouldn't get angry even if you lost. During the All-Star event, the number of entertainment players in the game increased significantly. The officials even organized some entertainment events because of this.
At 10 PM, after eating dinner at the hotel, the players returned to their respective teams.
Chi Shuo drove Ye Shaoyang and Qujiang back to the base.
When the three of them entered, Cheng Xing, Old Qin, and the other members of Team Two ran to the first floor to welcome them. Old Qin smiled. "There are three All-Star trophies this year. Not bad. In the past, Tianheng only had two."
Cheng Xing asked curiously, "Master, can I see your Winner in Life trophy?"
Chi Shuo handed the trophy to him. Cheng Xing looked at the golden words "Winner in Life" on the base and couldn't help but say, "This trophy has a good meaning."
Ye Shaoyang handed his trophy to Cheng Xing. "Do you want to see mine?"
Cheng Xing took it and saw the words "Starlight Resplendent" and "S10 All-Star Souvenir" on the base. The design was exactly the same as Chi Shuo's trophy, except it was silver.
Cheng Xing held the trophy in his left and right hands and asked happily, "Are you guys going to put the trophy in the display cabinet? Or take it back to the dorm? "
Chi Shuo said, "Let's put it in the display cabinet."
Ye Shaoyang agreed. "There's a cat in the dorm. My Little White is very naughty. He might break the trophy. It's safer to put it in the display cabinet."
Chi Shuo, Ye Shaoyang, and Qujiang went to the display cabinet on the first floor of the Tianhuan Squad and placed the All Stars trophy on the second shelf. Ye Shaoyang's gaze swept over the display case. There were many All Star trophies. Chi Shuo had participated in five of them, and Qujiang had participated in three.
Qujiang smiled as he introduced, "This row of trophies belongs to Captain Chi. Ever since his debut in S6, he has never missed a single All Star. His popularity has always been high."
Every year, the commemorative trophy was different. S6 was a deer, S7 was a bird, and this year's S10 was a goddess. Commemorative trophies specially designed for All-Stars were quite beautiful. Chi Shuo had already collected five of them, and it was quite a sight to behold when placed side by side.
But Ye Shaoyang knew that Chi Shuo didn't care about popularity, nor did he care about participating in All-Stars. The biggest regret in his heart was always the empty spot on the top shelf of the display cabinet.
That spot was reserved for the World Championship trophy.
Sensing Ye Shaoyang raise his head to look at the top shelf, Chi Shuo said in a low voice, "The top shelf is only empty for now. I believe that one day, the trophy will be placed there."
Ye Shaoyang nodded. "I believe so too."
The two of them looked at each other. Ye Shaoyang looked away and said with a smile, "Put this year's commemorative trophies in there as well. If we collect five of them, we might be able to summon Shenron."
Chi Shuo took the trophies and placed the three S10 All Stars trophies side by side in the display cabinet. He locked the glass cabinet and turned to go upstairs. Cheng Xing looked at his master's back and wondered when he would be able to contribute to the Tianhuan Squad's display cabinet and win a trophy.
Team Two had participated in the folk Silver Dragon Cup and even won a championship. Old Qin, Brother Qu, and the others had also won trophies. He was the only one who hadn't won anything yet.
Cheng Xing scratched his head and silently turned to go upstairs.
The team didn't have any training scheduled for the next few days, so Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang went back to their bedroom on the third floor. As soon as they opened the door, Little White immediately ran over with his tail raised. He sniffed around their feet and confirmed that it was a familiar scent. Then he meowed and pounced on Ye Shaoyang.
Ye Shaoyang was fully embraced by him. He smiled as he bent over to pick up the cat and scratched its head. "I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you cause any trouble?" Little White let out a long cry. "Meow meow!"
Ye Shaoyang walked around the house with it in his arms and found …
This little bastard had actually scratched Chi Shuo's curtains into strips of tassels!
The two of them stood at the bedroom door and looked at each other.
Chi Shuo saw that his curtains had been ravaged by the kitten's claws. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He patted Little White's head and said, "You started to tear down the house while we were away?"
Ye Shaoyang frowned. "You grabbed the curtains and climbed up. Do you want to go to heaven?"
The kitten looked at its owner with wide eyes. It even rubbed its head against Ye Shaoyang's palm with an innocent look on its face.
If it had been anyone else, Chi Shuo would have been disgusted just by breaking into his room, let alone scratching the curtains.
But Little White was Shaoyang's cat and looked very cute.
Looking at the warm scene of Shaoyang holding the kitten, Chi Shuo couldn't get angry at all. He reached out and gently scratched the kitten's chin. He whispered, "I'll forgive you this time, but there won't be a next time."
Ye Shaoyang said awkwardly, "Sorry, I'll buy you new curtains."
Chi Shuo said, "It's okay. I've used these curtains for five years. They're quite old and should be replaced. I'm going out tomorrow, so I'll just buy a new one. "
Ye Shaoyang was puzzled. "Going out? Are you busy tomorrow? "
Chi Shuo coughed softly and said, "I've made an appointment with a doctor. I'm going to the hospital."
Ye Shaoyang thought that he was sick and couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "
Chi Shuo was silent for a moment before he looked away. His ears were slightly red and his voice was a little hoarse. "I've made an appointment with a doctor specializing in pheromones. I want to get an injection of suppressant."
Ye Shaoyang was stunned for a moment. He quickly realized why Chi Shuo wanted to get an injection of suppressant.
He carefully read the "Safety Marking Manual" that the hospital gave him several times from beginning to end. This time, he read it word by word with the attitude of studying scientific literature. He was afraid that he would make a mistake because he didn't understand ABO's physiological knowledge.
The manual mentioned that when an Alpha fell in love with an Omega, he would have a strong possessive desire for the Omega and would want to completely mark the other party. The physiological desire was difficult to control, which may lead to the loss of control of the pheromones and enter the susceptible period. At this time, if an Alpha didn't want to directly mark the other party, the best way was to inject a strong suppressant to suppress the physiological impulse.
Why did Chi Shuo get an injection of suppressant?
Naturally, it was because he had a physiological possessive desire for an Omega.
Which Omega was it?
Was there a need to ask?
Ye Shaoyang thought of the scene in his dream where he was completely marked by Chi Shuo. He suddenly blushed and wanted to find a hole to crawl into and bury himself. Idiot, if Chi Shuo was going to the hospital, then go to the hospital. Why did you ask him where he was going? It was too embarrassing.
Ye Shaoyang picked up the cat and stroked the kitten's head over and over again, using the cat to cover up his embarrassment. He pretended to be calm and said, "Well, I'll feed Little White something first. Captain Chi, you should rest early."
After saying that, he quickly ran back to the bedroom and closed the door.
Ye Shaoyang leaned against the back of the door, his heartbeat once again out of control.
Chi Shuo was going to get an injection of suppressant tomorrow. Was it so out of control that he had to use drugs to suppress it?
Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but be curious. He dreamed of being intimate with Chi Shuo, which was temporarily explained as being led astray by the forum and the netizens. Then, would Chi Shuo also dream of him?
What was the plot in Alpha's dream?
Thinking that he might appear in Chi Shuo's dream, Ye Shaoyang's face was boiling hot. Could it be that they had a tacit understanding in their dreams? Otherwise, both of them would be intimate with each other in their dreams …
Rounded up, didn't they just have sex in their dreams?
Ahem, as a pure and straight man, this was too much.
Ye Shaoyang put the cat down and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
Recently, he had been taking cold showers more and more frequently. Maybe this was the legendary restlessness of adolescence?
There was no game to play, and it was too boring, so he always thought about these things. Hurry up and play the game! As long as his mind was full of games, he wouldn't think about these things.
The next morning, Ye Shaoyang heard the sound of a car engine starting outside the window. Chi Shuo's black car quickly drove out of the parking lot. Ye Shaoyang knew that Chi Shuo had made an appointment with the doctor to go to the hospital for an injection of suppressant.
Ye Shaoyang was nervous, so he had to stroke the cat to divert his attention.
Little White was very comfortable being stroked by him. It closed its eyes and lay in Ye Shaoyang's arms, snoring.
Chi Shuo drove to the pet shop and bought a scratching board for Little White.
He had searched for a guide last night, and it said that cats liked to sharpen their claws. There were no trees in the house, so they would scratch the curtains or the sofa to sharpen their claws. Giving it a scratching board could prevent the furniture from being damaged.
Ye Shaoyang's bedroom had an oval scratching board with a diameter of 50 centimeters. Little White could usually sleep on it. But as Little White grew up, the small scratching board could no longer satisfy it. Chi Shuo simply bought it a larger one so that it could climb up.
He knew that Shaoyang's parents were both dead, and this cat was very important to Ye Shaoyang. Therefore, he was willing to treat Little White as family.
In the afternoon, after the injection of suppressant, Chi Shuo drove back to the team.
He carried a box from the trunk upstairs. Cheng Xing met him at the door and couldn't help but wonder, "Master, what did you buy? It's such a big box. "
Chi Shuo said casually, "A toy for Little White."
Cheng Xing was dumbfounded. Master didn't like small animals before, did he? He also said that it was too troublesome for Fang Zhengqing to raise a cat. Why did he take the initiative to buy a toy for a cat now? It must be for Brother Yang's sake!
After Chi Shuo returned to the dormitory, he took a screwdriver and began to assemble the scratching board.
Ye Shaoyang heard the noise and went out to take a look. He saw Alpha squatting on the ground, quickly assembling the "furniture" according to the drawings. There were many cylindrical things. At first, Ye Shaoyang couldn't see what they were, but as he assembled the first layer, he quickly understood. "This is … a cat tree, right?"
Chi Shuo said, "Yes, I bought it for Little White."
The cat tree had a total of three layers. On the second layer, there were two small villas. The height could almost reach the roof, so the kittens could climb up and down to play. The pillars were all wrapped with hemp rope for the kittens to sharpen their claws.
This was the design that Chi Shuo asked Fang Zhengqing for advice, and Old Fang recommended.
Ye Shaoyang looked at Chi Shuo, who lowered his head and concentrated on assembling the cat tree. He suddenly felt a little touched. Many people hated small animals and thought that it was too troublesome to raise cats and dogs, which would shed fur everywhere.
When he first brought Little White to the team, he was worried that his roommates wouldn't be able to accept pets. However, Chi Shuo gave him enough freedom. Not only did he accept being raised, but he also accepted letting Little White run around the living room. Little White even naughtily ran into Chi Shuo's bedroom, messed up the sheets, and scratched the curtains …
Chi Shuo didn't get angry, and he even took the initiative to buy a toy for Little White.
This Alpha seemed to be cold, but in fact, he had a gentle and tolerant heart.
Being liked by him was a very lucky thing, right? But how could he accept being with a man? Ye Shaoyang sighed softly in his heart. He put Little White aside, squatted down and said, "Let me help you."
Chi Shuo chuckled and handed the drawings to him, saying, "I've already installed the second layer. Help me get the screws."
So, Ye Shaoyang looked at the drawings and got the screws for Chi Shuo, while Chi Shuo used an electric screwdriver to quickly assemble the wooden planks and columns. The two worked together, and the efficiency was significantly improved. In less than half an hour, the cat tree that was big enough to reach the roof was assembled.
Ye Shaoyang looked up at the huge cat tree and couldn't help but sigh, "Little White, you're a winner in cat life. You even have a villa to live in!" Chi Shuo suggested, "Put the cat tree in the living room. It's more spacious."
The two moved the cat tree to the living room together. Little White seemed to realize that it was for him, so he quickly ran over and climbed up the column very flexibly. He sniffed here and there curiously, and even stuck his head out to look at the two of them and meowed.
Ye Shaoyang laughed, "It seems that he likes this cat tree very much. In the future, there will be a place for him to play. I hope he won't mess with our furniture. "
Chi Shuo looked at the kitten, who stuck his head out of the cat nest, and smiled. He said, "I also bought him a few new cat sticks. We usually train late, so I'll play with him for a while when we come back. Otherwise, he'll be bored by himself."
Ye Shaoyang said, "Well, as long as you don't mind him being noisy. He's not an adult yet, so he's still naughty. He'll be fine in two years. Adult cats are quieter. "
Speaking of this, Ye Shaoyang suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart.
Why did this conversation sound like an old couple raising a child?
He raised Little White as his son, but Chi Shuo … also treated Little White as his family?
Ye Shaoyang coughed lightly and quickly changed the topic. "Oh right, you weren't here this afternoon. Coach Lin came back and told everyone that the team training will be postponed to August 5th because I'm going to participate in the World Invitational Tournament. While I'm away, everyone should practice on their own and get used to it."
Chi Shuo nodded. "Okay. The playoffs start in September. Training for a month is about right. "
Ye Shaoyang looked down and saw that there was a green mark on the back of Chi Shuo's hand. It was obviously from an injection. Ye Shaoyang looked away with mixed feelings. "There hasn't been any training scheduled for this period of time. Plus, there's the All-Star event. I haven't played ranked in a long time. I'm getting rusty. Do you want to go to the international server and play a few rounds?"
Chi Shuo naturally wouldn't refuse. "Okay. Do you want to go to the training room or the dorm? "
Ye Shaoyang didn't hesitate. "Let's go to the training room. It's easy to get sleepy in the dorm. The training room has a better atmosphere. "
The two of them settled the cat down and then went to the training room together.
Tianheng's Nakano duo started a live stream. It quickly attracted a large number of fans and players to the stream. The two of them then went to the international server with their smurf accounts. They used the classic duo that they had used before.
They hadn't played ranked in a while, but their chemistry was still there. They won three rounds in a row.
Ye Shaoyang used the break time to drink water. At this moment, a large number of comments suddenly appeared in his stream. "Congratulations, Yangyang!" "Lieyang is too awesome. The streamer we follow really has potential!"
Ye Shaoyang froze for a moment and said, "What are you congratulating me for?"
The netizens said, "Look at the official Weibo announcement!"
Ye Shaoyang quickly opened the official Weibo of the God Wars Professional League and saw a piece of good news.
After comprehensive consideration and evaluation by the League's Tournament Committee, in the S10 season, the Chinese region will recommend three players to participate in the World Invitational Individual Competition. They are Xie Weiyu YY- Xiao Yu from the Yueying Team, Zhou Jiawen @ HW-hou from the Fire Mark Team, and Ye Shaoyang Tianheng Lieyang from the Tianhuan Squad. We look forward to your outstanding performance in the World Invitational Individual Competition. [Flower.jpg]
As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused a huge uproar.
Most of the netizens in the comment section expressed their support, but there were also many voices of doubt. Ye Shaoyang casually opened the comment section and saw that many of the highly praised comments were talking about him.
Lieyang is a newcomer. What right does he have?
Just because he's an Omega, you recommend him to go abroad and embarrass himself?
Look at his stats. In the first half of the regular season, he was first in the league in the number of MVPs and first in kills per game. He's not qualified to go to the World Invitational. Are you qualified?
There's no duo this year? Not a team, but a solo player?
Two mid laners and one archer are recommended to go to the Singles competition. Is this a joke?
Looking at the individual awards of the Chinese division, S6, Chi Shuo's Singles Champion; S7, Old Xu's Singles Champion; S8, Da Xiao Zhao's Singles Champion; S9 was the year with the worst results, with no trophies in the team events and individual events; S10, I think it's quite difficult too.
S10 might as well go to the Singles competition with three squishy players. The league has given up on healing, right?
If I can win an individual award this year, I'll do a live broadcast of me doing a handstand and eating my keyboard! How can a squishy mage and sniper beat a warrior and a assassin? They probably won't even make it to the semifinals!
Speaking of which, why didn't they recommend Xiao En as a mid laner? Are they looking down on her because she's a Chinese?
Of these three recommendations, other than Zhou Zhou who deserves it, I'm not convinced by Xie Weiyu and Ye Shaoyang!
If S10 still doesn't win any trophies in the Chinese division, can't the official committee be disbanded?
Ye Shaoyang had already expected that the recommendation list would be questioned by the netizens when it was announced.
Actually, everyone's doubts were very reasonable. In a 1v1 duel, a warrior who could tank and attack and a assassin with explosive power did indeed have an advantage over a mage and an archer.
Firstly, mages and archers were late-stage heroes who needed to develop. Most of their early damage was low, and it was very difficult for them to beat a warrior and assassin of the same level. Secondly, mages and archers didn't have the ability to escape. Once a warrior or assassin got close to them, they would be easily killed by a combo.
But don't forget, Ye Shaoyang was the best at Magic Stab. Zhou Jiawen's Cannon Spellcaster's skill hit rate was very high, and he could also insta-kill people with a set of consecutive skills. As for Xie Weiyu's Wind Spirit, you might not be able to get close to him.
The league had good reasons for recommending the three of them.
The world invitational tournament had a rule that "players who have won an individual event cannot participate again." It was obvious that the league wanted to give more opportunities to newcomers. It was better to have a new god every year than to have the same person win the award for several consecutive years. The league also needed new blood. Therefore, Chi Shuo, Old Xu, Little Zhao, and other players who were good at duels couldn't go this year.
Xiao En had participated in the individual competition in the European region and won a bronze medal in the end. He could go again if he didn't win a gold medal, but he clearly rejected the league's recommendation and expressed that he wasn't interested. Ye Shaoyang could guess his considerations. After all, he was only Chinese and had temporarily signed with Northern Shepherd. His nationality was European, and he probably didn't want to take up a spot in the Chinese region.
Excluding these players, there really wasn't anyone left in the Chinese region.
Many of the players who were still active in the scene were veteran players who debuted in S6. Zhou Zhou and Xie Weiyu were S8 players, and Lieyang debuted in S10. He was the only one who could stand out among the newcomers. I think the league's recommendation is very reasonable. There really isn't anyone more suitable.
I hope that the major teams will also pay attention to the development of newcomers. Otherwise, after this batch of players retires, won't the Chinese region's eSports be defeated?
The rational netizens' comments also attracted a lot of likes and support from fans.
The development of newcomers was indeed urgent. Ye Shaoyang was a newcomer who debuted in S10, but he was already 22 years old and wouldn't be able to compete for more than a few years. Therefore, while he was in Tianheng, he would do his best to help Chi Shuo train Cheng Xing, Xie Xiaotian, and other newcomers. These newcomers carried the future of eSports on their shoulders.
Ye Shaoyang forwarded the official Weibo and left a comment: "Thank you to the league for your recommendation. I'm fortunate enough to participate in the individual competition in S10. I'll definitely do my best ^ _ ^"
When the fans saw his post, they all left messages to cheer him on.
Yangyang, I have faith in you! Good luck!
Who said that mid laners can't win prizes? Why did you have to come back with a prize to slap their faces?
Performing well in the national competition didn't mean that you could do well in the international competition. It wasn't that easy to win a prize in an international competition where there were so many experts. Yangyang just had to perform to his best and not give himself too much pressure.
Ye Shaoyang's heart warmed a little when he saw the encouragement from his fans.
He couldn't say for sure if he would win a prize, but he would do his best.
He just wanted to go out of the country and see the level of world-class players.
The professional leagues in Europe, America, Japan, Korea, and other regions would definitely recommend the players with the best performances this season. Otherwise, if they sent a rookie to the international competition, they would be scolded to death by the Chinese netizens.
Experts from all over the world gathered together. Learning from them could increase one's playing experience and improve one's tactical awareness.
No matter what the result was, it would be a very precious experience.
After Ye Shaoyang posted on Weibo, he said to the netizens in the live broadcast room, "Thank you, everyone. It's too early to congratulate me. I'm going to participate in the individual competition, but I'm not sure if I'll win a prize. I'll just treat it as accumulating experience. "
A fan said, "Is Yangyang the only one going to Tianheng? Will the coach be going? "
Ye Shaoyang said, "The coach won't be going. Our Coach Lin is very busy, so he'll stay in China to prepare for the playoffs. I'm going to participate in the individual competition, and it'll all depend on my own performance. There's no need for the coach to waste an entire week with me. The league has a professional team leader. "
A fan said with concern, "Take care of yourself when you're outside!"
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll take care of myself. Then I'll go offline first and discuss with my teammates about the international invitational. "
Ye Shaoyang turned off the live broadcast room. The two of them sat together in a duo, and Chi Shuo could hear his voice the whole time.
After turning off the live broadcast, Chi Shuo turned to look at Ye Shaoyang and said, "For this international invitational, you, Xie Weiyu, and Zhou Jiawen have all received the league's recommendation. There's also the wildcard competition. The other players who didn't receive the recommendation can also sign up. "
Ye Shaoyang knew about this rule. The league in each division had three recommendation slots, and they could choose any one or two players. For fairness, the players who didn't receive the recommendation slots could also participate in the wildcard competition. In the end, a total of 32 players would be invited (including the recommendation slots) to participate in the international invitational.
Ye Shaoyang said, "Are you thinking of letting Cheng Xing sign up too?"
Sure enough, Ye Shaoyang instantly understood what he meant.
Chi Shuo nodded and said, "Xie Weiyu is an archer, so he can participate. Cheng Xing can too. Archers are fragile, but there are a few agile archers who can move and can fight one-on-one. It's a good opportunity for Little Xing to see the level of international experts. Regardless of whether he can enter the top 32 or not, it'll be a form of training for him. "
Ye Shaoyang nodded in agreement. "Yes, Old Qin and Qujiang have a lot of experience in the competition, so there won't be any problems with their mentality. Little Xing is a newcomer, after all. He'll be under a lot of psychological pressure in the playoffs. It'll be a good opportunity for him to train. I also think that we can let him sign up for the wild card area to try. "
Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang.
Have you forgotten that you're also a newcomer?
The way he spoke made him sound like an experienced veteran player.
Chi Shuo suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "Coach Lin won't go to the international invitational tournament. I'll be worried if you go overseas with them. I'll go with you."
Ye Shaoyang froze for a moment. "But if you leave …"
Chi Shuo said, "It's only for a week. It won't affect you much. Besides, if you're not there, the team training can't start. It's the same whether I'm there or not. Coach Lin will be overseeing the team's training. "
He paused and looked at Ye Shaoyang seriously. "And I've said before that I have some experience in the individual competition. I can be your training partner."
Ye Shaoyang said, "But Coach Lin …"
Chi Shuo said, "Don't worry. I've already talked to Coach Lin, and he agrees that I'll go with you. Who knows, you might even win a prize. "
Chi Shuo was indeed swift and decisive. He had already talked to Coach Lin.
If Chi Shuo was his training partner, Ye Shaoyang would indeed be more confident. After all, Chi Shuo was once a world champion. He knew some of the techniques and thoughts in a one-on-one battle. He had a deep pool of heroes.
By competing with Chi Shuo every day and accumulating one-on-one battle experience, Ye Shaoyang's chances of winning would be higher if he faced other masters.
With that thought in mind, Ye Shaoyang nodded and said, "Alright, let's go together." He looked at Chi Shuo with a determined gaze. "I won't say any more words of thanks. I'll do my best to not embarrass the Chinese team in this competition! "
