Chapter 346: Locker Room Leader Zhou Zekai? The Future is Yours
Today, fans of Samsara are blessed.
Who could have imagined that being a fan of Lunhui would also provide a teaching service for Sichuan Opera face-changing?
From the bold words before the game, to the forced smile after losing the second round, to the silence after the ten rounds,
All I can say is that if Samsara continues to fight like this, the next step will be nonsense.
The fans of Samsara never dreamed that their home team, which had been making great progress in recent times, would be beaten back and forth by a group of young players from the opposing team.
In the second round, Samsara confidently picked up the spear, but was unexpectedly overturned by EDG.
This resulted in very poor economic conditions in the next game. Although Zhou Zekai managed to keep an AK, he was forced to enter an eco game.
EDG, who miraculously won the second round, was greatly encouraged.
Overpass is originally a warning picture, which shows whether CT can manage the economy well.
Winning this round instantly reversed the situation.
In the third round, in the eco game, Samsara faced EDG, whose economy and confidence had already risen. Although Zhou Zekai fought hard and killed two of them, he was unable to keep the AK.
The score was overtaken by EDG.
Samsara was filled with anger after going through the eco round and was ready to launch a fierce counterattack, but was restrained by EDG's various unconventional tactics.
Although they still maintained a relatively large advantage in head-on gun battles, especially with Zhou Zekai, EDG had almost no way to gain any advantage on the front line.
But he will always be taken away by various small monsters.
A typical example is the fourth round, when Kang Kang and Zhou Zekai attacked at the same time in unison.
Zhou Zekai arrived at the bandit's entrance and set up a mid-lane attack as usual, but unfortunately he ran into Kang Kang in the middle of the crowd.
Zhou Zekai did not expect Kang Kang's choice to be so radical. Coupled with Gao Shan's interference and his slightly poor condition, he was a little hasty for a moment.
Two sniper gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.
But no one was killed, and both sides kicked each other but survived.
Zhou Zekai continued to attack the middle lane without saying a word. Although he was caught off guard, he was never afraid of a sniper confrontation at the middle gate.
As a result, the open scope failed to see Kang Kang's position, but instead a grenade was thrown at him.
Only at times like this would Zhou Zekai miss Glory. After all, with the overly realistic physics engine there, Zhou Zekai could easily detonate a grenade in mid-air.
But CSGO obviously did not design such a purely show-off feature.
Zhou Zekai retreated quickly, but was still a step too slow.
The little blood left after being hit in the leg by the sniper was not enough for him to survive this disaster.
So, the fans of Samsara were stunned to see that Zhou Zekai, who they thought was invincible, was killed by Kang Kang.
Although Samsara sped up later and killed Kang Kang, who was a little bit distracted by the low health after taking down Zhou Zekai, they rushed to the bomb site in one go.
But the fans' mentality has been a little broken.
Many fans don’t quite understand Kang Kang’s radical tactical choices and the two props that helped him score.
They could only see that Zhou Zekai failed to win the face-to-face conversation with Kang Kang.
It's very fantasy.
The moment Zhou Zekai fell, some fans collapsed.
"Management, look at what you have done!"
"Like business? Like performing for money? Look at what you've done to Xiao Zhou?"
"I can't stay in this reincarnation. I have to be like Chu Yunxiu!"
It can only be said that it is still too hard for fans to accept that Zhou Zekai, who has always been defined as almost invincible, was defeated by a newcomer in a gun fight.
That's Zhou Zekai...
Sometimes, impression flow is just so scary.
Even if the team won this point, or even tied the score, it would not make the fans happy.
Before the game, we were confident that Samsara would win.
In the second round, we were overturned by the pillar, and we won by using our hard power.
As a result, it seems that even hard power is not so sure to win now?
In the tenth game, as EDG made another unexpected comeback, Samsara called a timeout.
The atmosphere was a little depressing.
The generals of Samsara did not expect this to be the start.
Seeing that Zhou Zekai's condition today is indeed not very good, someone must step up now.
Jiang Botao thought about it and was about to start twisting the rope, but someone got there first.
"My buddy is in average condition today!"
"I was stunned by that guy's gun at the beginning, and I just recovered now."
"But from now on, just watch me operate."
Sun Xiang's tone seemed to be as heartless as usual, and he made jokes about himself without restraint.
But listening to his voice that was relaxed yet had a hint of fighting spirit, for some reason, the other people in Samsara suddenly felt that the pressure was not so heavy.
Jiang Botao breathed a sigh of relief.
I almost forgot that we are no longer a team led by Zhou Zekai alone.
We now have a reliable core.
After returning from the break, although the overall state of Samsara was still average, Sun Xiang, who kept his word, had a small outburst.
EDG tasted the sweetness in the first few points, but suffered a lot from Sun Xiang in the following points.
Kang Kang was in great trouble.
He himself is the type who plays extremely bravely, and coincidentally, Sun Xiang is similar.
So Sun Xiang could more or less guess what radical actions he might take.
Every time Kang Kang chose an extremely radical route, he thought he could catch the enemy by surprise, but he was often caught off guard by Sun Xiang halfway.
In terms of technology, Sun Xiang was able to steadily suppress Kang Kang.
After this point, which was most likely to lead to a surprise victory, was firmly suppressed by Samsara, the difficulty for EDG to deal a heavy blow to Samsara increased exponentially.
Although Qiuqiu once again showed his characteristics of the king of the endgame in a game, he caught three people and fought three people sideways to successfully get back a point,
But after the first half, looking at the score of 5:10, the fans of Samsara breathed a sigh of relief.
I said, how could EDG and Samsara have a back-and-forth battle?
It should be the reincarnation that is just looking for the state.
In the second half, EDG used the same old tricks again, trying to disrupt the situation with the most desperate style of play and win in the chaos.
However, they soon received a piece of news that sounded like a ghost story:
Zhou Zekai, woke up.
In fact, Zhou Zekai's personal condition is not very bad, it's just that he has been training less recently, so he needs some time to find his touch.
As a result, EDG's random interruptions at the beginning disrupted Samsara's rhythm, preventing him from finding a good chance to take advantage.
But as Sun Xiang withstood the pressure, the rhythm began to return to Samsara's side. After a few more rounds of killing, the gun king who killed gods and Buddhas naturally came back.
Zhou Zekai in this state, coupled with Sun Xiang who was in another popular state, used their ultimate individual performances to shatter EDG's idea of scoring by melee.
In the end, the score was 16:7.
Samsara took the first picture.
If you only look at the results, or even the stats of the Samsara team, you would probably think this was a big win. But only the fans who watched the entire game know how thrilling this Samsara game was.
It even made some fans panic.
After winning, the relieved fans also started to make a noise.
"It really takes courage to be a fan of the Samsara team. Watching other teams' games costs money, but watching Samsara's games costs your life!"
"The management should kowtow to the players. If they don't withstand the pressure, we will drive the truck to the gate of the base tomorrow!"
The fans gave the greatest understanding and support to the players, but they were not so friendly to the management.
As they chatted, the topic gradually shifted to Sun Xiang.
"Fuck! Brother Xiang! Big anchor!"
"When I saw the first ten minutes, I thought it was going to fail, but Brother Xiang managed to stay steady."
"Brother Xiang, this family can't live without you!"
Sun Xiang’s league debut in Samsara was perfect.
Not only did he get perfect marks for his personal performance, but most importantly, he made the fans of Samsara feel a sense of calm security for the first time when Zhou Zekai was in average condition.
In the past, Samsara basically built the team around Zhou Zekai as the absolute core.
Both Jiang Botao and Lu Boyuan are more inclined towards functionality rather than being the core who can stand on their own.
So Samsara is usually very strong, but once Zhou Zekai's condition has problems, basically no one in the entire Samsara team can stand out.
Therefore, Zhou Zekai must try his best to keep himself in peak condition, and even if some problems arise, he has to grit his teeth and hold on.
But after Sun Xiang came, everything changed.
When Zhou Zekai is not in good shape, he can safely and boldly put down some of the burden and find his feeling, and Sun Xiang can carry the team for him.
There is no need for the two to play any good cooperation.
The rotating pattern of "Sun Xiang C, then Zhou Zekai C, then Sun Xiang C" is enough to become a nightmare for other teams.
Not to mention their chemistry is pretty good.
If I were to use one word to describe the state of Samsara fans, after realizing that even when Zhou Zekai is not in good form, they can still count on Sun Xiang to carry the team,
That's probably what stable happiness is.
While fans outside were rejoicing, the atmosphere in Samsara's lounge was a little dull.
Led by Jiang Botao, a large group of people from Samsara were speechless and stood there in a daze like fools.
Just now, after entering the lounge, Jiang Botao was about to do his routine cheer to boost morale.
This is one of his most handy jobs.
What happened was that Zhou Zekai, who was walking in the front, suddenly quickened his pace, took two steps forward, and then turned around in the puzzled gazes of everyone.
And then--
"I'm sorry for making everyone worry!" Zhou Zekai suddenly apologized and bowed 90 degrees.
Jiang Botao's mouth slowly opened.
"In the first half... I was not in good shape and gave away many chances..."
It was obvious that Zhou Zekai was not used to speaking so many words at once, and he stumbled.
"Next... I will fight with all my strength... we will win!" But he still insisted on finishing the sentence.
But this alone was enough to leave all the members of Samsara dumbfounded.
Especially Jiang Botao.
No? This is Zhou Zekai? Will he apologize?
It’s not that Zhou Zekai can’t recognize his mistakes, but he is used to proving himself with actions after discovering his mistakes.
But now, he chose a way that was not like Zhou Zekai at all.
Although still clumsy and immature, Zhou Zekai is indeed trying to inspire his teammates' fighting spirit through means other than competitive performance.
And this used to be Jiang Botao's job.
Seeing Zhou Zekai looking a little embarrassed, Jiang Botao didn't feel panicked about having his job taken away. Instead, he felt like crying.
He really didn't expect that Xiao Zhou could achieve such a transformation in this regard.
Although Xiao Zhou's performance on the court was impeccable in the past, he always lacked some leadership qualities off the court.
To the extent that, apart from that title, he had basically nothing to do with the position of Samsara Captain, and everything was handled by Jiang Botao.
And now, this shortcoming has actually begun to be made up by Zhou Zekai little by little?
Although it was still slow, it was enough to make everyone in the reincarnation world overjoyed.
Jiang Botao glanced at the camera next to him and the cameraman who was almost as stunned as they were.
The characteristic of Tenghai e-sports is that they will arrange special cameras in the lounge to capture the moments off the stage for later documentary filming.
He couldn't help but think that the audience outside the stadium should be celebrating that Samsara won the game without any danger, while at the same time cursing the management for using Zhou Zekai to make money and ignoring the results.
I don’t know how many people will jump out and praise the management’s wise decision after this documentary is released.
Recently, when Honor fans were reminiscing about the glorious past, they had nothing to do and created a Honor concept god.
To summarize some of the strongest forms of Glory players that only exist in theory.
For example, "The healthy version of the bloody scene of flowers in seasons five and seven", "Huang Shaotian with his mouth sewn up", "bpm400+Yu Wenzhou", etc.
There is another one, the "social bull version of Zhou Zekai".
And now, it seems that this concept god is really going to be created?
It’s mysterious just thinking about it.
EDG is going to be in big trouble next.
Although Zhou Zekai's morale-boosting skills were still quite immature and naive, for the generals of Samsara, being able to see Zhou Zekai in this form would make them willing to die.
Zhou Zekai didn't need to say anything more; the morale, which was already high, automatically reached a peak.
When EDG's young players wanted to continue their previous style of play in the second map, Samsara poured cold water on them with a completely different state from the previous map.
By the end of the game, even the fans of Samsara felt a little bit uncomfortable watching it.
This is not a game at all, this is a massacre.
In the end, with a score of 16:3, Samsara easily defeated the still inexperienced EDG in the second map and won their first league victory.
This also gave the fans who were originally worried a sigh of relief.
After the game, Jiang Botao, who was interviewed, highly praised EDG's performance in the opening game.
"They played really well and caused us a lot of trouble."
“Although they are still a little inexperienced, their strengths are very prominent. They are brave and have many tactical innovations. They are already very good players.”
“The future must be theirs.”
Jiang Botao calmly praised EDG.
But they forgot that the average age of Samsara is only two or three years older than EDG.
Just like another executive deputy goat who was told by others that "the future is yours", EDG will probably have to wait for a while if they want to wait for the future that belongs to them.
I'm so busy writing and revising, and I also have to think about the next plot, so I'll only update once today.
