Chapter 172

The live broadcast ratings for early morning games wasn't high but the Canglan team's home attendance was more than 70% . The local fans gave face by going to the venue to watch .

To everyone's surprise, Canglan didn't choose three arena games like before . Li Cangyu chose to fight three team battles .

Everyone knew that the Lou Zhang combination in Ghost Spirits had an extremely high understanding and were fierce in team battles . The viewers couldn't understand Li Cangyu's choice and Yu Bing didn't know how to explain it . She could only say that Li Cangyu never acted according to common sense and would surprise people in every match .

The layout of this match was also incomprehensible . In the three team battles, the first game was directed by Li Cangyu . During the battle, Cat G.o.d was accidentally a.s.sa.s.sinated by the Lou Zhang combination and he fell to a disadvantage from the beginning, leading to a loss .

The commander of the second game was suddenly changed to Zhang Jueming . Li Cangyu didn't play and Zhang Jueming's command style was partial towards being bold and unconstrained . Lou Wushuang was extremely cautious and Canglan failed to find a good fruit to eat .

In the third game, the commander was once again Li Cangyu and Canglan scored 1:2 after a hard struggle .

The fans weren't happy with the result of 1:2 at home . However, the killer combination of Ghost Spirits was the best at killing core players during a team battle . Everyone could understand this .

In the post-match interview, Li Cangyu was very calm and didn't explain his arrangements . Many professional players watching the live broadcast knew that Li Cangyu had started the second step of his training plan .

Of the eight players on the Canglan team, Li Cangyu was most rea.s.sured about his old partner Bai Xuan . The two of them had cooperated for many years and Bai Xuan's healing ability was one of the best in today's Miracle League . The second person was Xie Shurong who played in the foreign ICE Club for two years . Ah Shu's level had matured after being honed by foreign compet.i.tors and he wasn't much worse than his brother Su Guangmo .

Objectively speaking, Bai Xuan and Xie Shurong were on the level of G.o.ds in the Miracle League . Li Cangyu didn't have to worry about them as they could cope with various situations in the compet.i.tion .

However, the standards of the other players were somewhat different .

Li Cangyu first had to train Li Xiaojiang, who was the weakest in the Canglan team . Li Xiaojiang achieved remarkable results in the Flying Feathers and Red Fox matches . Therefore, Li Cangyu started to train the powerful auxiliary . Based on today's match, he had s.h.i.+fted his focus to Zhang Jueming .

Zhang Jueming's talent really wasn't good in the league . In the first year, Zhang Jueming was invisible and he left the league with regrets after his team disbanded . Then he set up a studio to make a living . These years had been very hard .

The duration of an e-sports professional player wasn't long . It was necessary to practice regularly to prevent their state from declining . Zhang Jueming had abandoned the league for a few years and he was getting older . His state wasn't as good as the past and wasn't enough to support him returning to the league . It was just that he felt regrets in his heart .

His level might not be good but the 25 years old e-sports player could stand on the field . This courage was worthy of respect .

Li Cangyu wanted to give him a chance to show his talents and made him commander in the game against Ghost Spirits .

Old Zhang seemed bold and unrestrained but he was still a captain . There were a few tactical ideas in his head that hadn't been realized . Now they were working together to return to the league . Li Cangyu couldn't always stand alone in the limelight .

As Zhang Jueming's friend, Li Cangyu should give Zhang Jueming an attempt to command and complete the wish he couldn't fulfill in the past .

Cat G.o.d was a person with a special loyalty . Zhang Jueming had heard this before but he hadn't expected it to reach this extent . Letting go of the command and risk losing the match… was this necessary?

After the game, Zhang Jueming found Li Cangyu and scratched his head in a guilty manner . “In fact, you don't need to let me command . My tactical ideas aren't necessarily useful . I lost the game but everyone will scold you . Why?”

Li Cangyu smiled . “Results aren't everything . It isn't good for players to win all the time . You don't have many chances so you should grasp them when you can . We are teammates, needless of other things, I let you command because I just believe in you . ” He patted the man's shoulder and said seriously, “Old Zhang, I believe that you can win . A few years might've pa.s.sed but your thoughts are still valid . ”

Zhang Jueming was moved to tears . As a rough man, this was the first time he almost shed tears in front of other people . He quickly reached out and wiped his eyes . Then he laughed and cried out, “Yes! I will try again since you believe in me so much!”

***

The fans were puzzled . After the 1:2 loss against Ghost Spirits, the next match was an away match with Pure Cleansing and Cat G.o.d actually let Zhang Jueming take command again .

The Pure Cleansing team was located in Hangzhou . In the past few days, the weather in Hangzhou was rainy . The Canglan team came from far away to play . Despite having the disadvantage of location and people, Li Cangyu boldly let Zhang Jueming play . This game Canglan fans a bad feeling .

It turned out that recently Canglan was surrounded by bad luck . In this game, Chu Yan chose a map that was very helpful to Pure Cleansing . The mode was three team battles and the cla.s.sic illusionist flow caught the Canglan members off guard . They lost all three games!

The reporters were disappointed with Canglan's recent performance .

However, Li Cangyu was still calm . He just smiled in the interview and said, “It is normal to win and lose . You can rest a.s.sured that the mentality of the players won't be affected . This is the first round of the regular season . There are still more matches in the latter half and we will continue to work hard . ”

His sentence was almost an omnipotent official statement . One reporter stood up politely and asked, “You let Zhang Jueming continuously act as commander . Cat G.o.d, do you feel that this is a mistake?”

Li Cangyu shook his head . “I can't say that we would necessarily win if I was the commander . Pure Cleansing's home match is very hard to win and the players aren't comfortable with the illusion flow . The fact that we lost three games today was an accident . I will sum up the mistakes when we go back . ”

“It's my fault . ” Zhang Jueming took the initiative to take responsibility . “I was too careless when commanding today . I will go back and reflect on it . I will work hard to win the next match!”

The reporters, “…”

The fans, “…”

The next match?

Uncle Zhang, you are old . Can't you let go of commanding and peacefully act as an auxiliary?

Many people left messages on Li Cangyu's Weibo . Their words were fierce as they directly said: [Old Zhang is old . Can't you let him have peace of mind as an auxiliary?] [The ranking of Canglan has fallen . The playoffs are in danger!]

Li Cangyu didn't care about the messages . He had his own ideas . In fact, the original ranking was so high because he unexpectedly used Cataclysm in the first match to grab the point from Time . In the second match, he used the extreme method of three arena games to attack Flying Feathers and win with a 2:1 score . Time and Flying Feathers were strong teams . Canglan won two matches and temporarily ranked in the top three .

Since the Red Fox match, Canglan continuously lost and the e-sports weekly magazine even used 'Canglan Fell 3 Times in Succession' to report on the matter .

1:2 against Red Fox, 1:2 against Ghost Spirits and today it was 0:3 against Pure Cleansing . The key reason was that Li Cangyu didn't appear, Zhang Jueming was slightly rusty when it came to commanding and there were newcomers in the Canglan team . After several games, they all exposed their shortcomings and were specifically targeted by the captains of the other teams .

After returning to Changsha, Li Cangyu summoned the players and watched the games they lost .

The teenagers found that not only did they not progress, they actually became more stunned . Li Cangyu explained, “Every newcomer will experience a bottleneck . You played fairly well against Time and Flying Feathers . This is because the other G.o.ds of those teams weren't familiar with you . After those two games, your performances were a.n.a.lyzed by the tactical G.o.ds of other teams . They identified your weaknesses and made targeted arrangements . ”

“It is the reason why the last few games have been tough . In order to break through this bottleneck, you need some understanding and some opportunities . ” Li Cangyu watched the four teenagers as he spoke . They were incredibly dazed and he couldn't help laughing in his head .

These four people were like simple, older children . They believed everything Li Cangyu said . His words were true but there were also things that Li Cangyu added . In order to relieve some pressure on Old Zhang, he put the loss of the matches on everyone .

Li Xiaojiang's performance wasn't a problem and Xiao Han's play was also stable . The key was Zhuo Hang and Gu Siming .

Li Cangyu thought this and said, “The next game is at home against Cheetah . I hope that everyone can get a good performance . I don't want to see the headline change from 'three losses' to 'four game losing streak . '”

Everyone, “…”

He could actually still laugh . Cat G.o.d's mentality was really good!

Bai Xuan couldn't help smiling . This man's mentality was extremely strong . He could calmly encourage his teammates when FTD experienced a 10 game losing streak . How could he be upset by losing three games now?

“Come on, everybody . ” Bai Xuan said with a smile . “The Cheetah team is the overall weakest team in the league at the moment . If we lost then I've decided to let you be hungry for three days . ”

The four teenagers' eyes widened . The punishment of going hungry for three days was too serious!

Bai Xuan couldn't help laughing when he saw the four pairs of stunned eyes . “If you don't agree then should I make it five days?”

Gu Siming immediately raised his hand . “I agree! Three days, three days!”

Zhuo Hang glanced at him . “We will only go hungry for three days if we lose . What are you anxious about? Who said we will lose?”

Gu Siming scratched his head . “Yes…”

Li Cangyu smiled and patted Zhuo Hang's shoulder . “The Cheetah team has the best hunter in the league, Jiang Xu . Starting from today, you will watch videos of his games and study every one of his movements . This match depends on you, Xiao Zhuo . ”

Zhuo Hang immediately nodded . “Yes, I understand!”

This newcomer was somewhat proud, slightly narcissistic and often boastful . Li Cangyu decided to use this match to test Zhuo Hang's true standards .

The fourth week of the regular season would start soon . The first place in the team standings was Wind Colour while second place was Time . This week happened to be the showdown between Wind Colour and Time so many eyes were naturally attracted to this heavyweight event . Relatively speaking, there weren't many people concerned about the confrontation between Canglan and Ghost Spirits . The match started at 9 o'clock on Sat.u.r.day morning and many viewers were sleeping in bed . The live broadcast ratings for early morning games wasn't high but the Canglan team's home attendance was more than 70% . The local fans gave face by going to the venue to watch .
