Ch75 - Competition system reform.

Edited by kat

To determine whether a person was a good commander, you just need to ask those under their command.

Ling Shuyi admitted that Mo Chen’s skills were the best in the national servers, but in terms of command, Jiang Xinyi was better.

Under Jiang Xinyi’s command, you didn’t even need to bother to think. He would clearly tell you what to do, taking into account the direction, distance, reference points, number of enemies, weapons to use, attack timing, attack positioning….

“Advance 200 meters in the 1 o’clock direction, then crouch down at the low wall.”

“Two people are coming up from the 12 o’clock direction. Take out your assault rifle and prepare to attack.”

“Wait for three seconds, then attack the enemy’s head that’s 50 meters away.”

“Now, rush out.”

Jiang Xinyi’s tone was flat from beginning to end, just like an emotionless machine. However, because of this, Ling Shuyi didn’t have a shred of hesitation over his orders and completely accepted them.

In short, no matter what he told him to do, Ling Shuyi immediately followed suit with his orders.

In fact, Ling Shuyi felt that he was going to die several times when he rushed in, but Jiang Xinyi’s cover fire was always so timely.

Unlike Mo Chen, Jiang Xinyi didn’t tell his teammates his entire plan when he was in command, so Ling Shuyi usually just did whatever Jiang Xinyi wanted him to do, and before he could figure out what was going on, all of the enemies had died.

This feeling was really amazing.

Under Jiang Xinyi’s command, the two people successfully entered the final circle, before finally winning first place after competing with medicine.

“CLM is the winner again, let’s congratulate CLM!” After speaking, A-Yi couldn’t help but sigh and add, “Newing is really powerful ah!”

“CLM got first place in two consecutive matches!” Bunny Ji said excitedly, “CLM is really making great progress! They were already very strong in the spring, but now they’re even stronger than back then! It’s just a pity that we didn’t get to see Windy playing in the morning.”

“Windy should be playing in the squad match in the afternoon ba?” A-Yi guessed, “According to CLM’s pre-match member information, Windy is still a starter, so it’s unlikely that he won’t make an appearance.”

“I also think so,” Bunny Ji agreed.

Not only did she think so, but the audience and the other teams also thought this. After all, Chen Wei’s game sense was clearly good. Although his skills weren’t as good as many other people in CLM, it wasn’t to the point that he would be reduced to being a substitute player.

In fact, there were a lot of people supporting Chen Wei at the venue today—After the spring competition, his title of “Hiding God” had resounded throughout almost the entire SGH e-sports circle and drew in a lot of fans.

However, CLM’s lineup in the afternoon squad match surprised everyone.

——Chen Wei didn’t play.

The members of CLM’s squad team were Mo Chen, Wen Xi, Jiang Xinyi, and Ling Shuyi.

[What’s going on?] The stream followers in the stream couldn’t understand.

[Has Windy become a substitute? Don’t do that ba…]

[Logically speaking, Windy is still very strong in solo matches? I don’t know why CLM didn’t let him play.]

The people on the scene also widely discussed this. Some people felt sorry for Chen Wei, while others questioned CLM’s lineup.

However, Chen Wei didn’t have any expression of hurt or disappointment. On the contrary, at this moment he was energetically chatting with Liu Weizhe.

“Xiao Xin is really strong! Wow, with such a straight-A student entering our team to play professionally, there’s a sense of using a genius for manual labor,” Chen Wei said.

Liu Weizhe crossed his legs and completely relaxed against the back of his chair. He faintly asked, “Is he strong, or I am strong?”

“Of course you’re strong,” Chen Wei replied without hesitation, and then winked at Liu Weizhe, asking, “So when will you register an SGH account? I’ll carry you ah~”

“Depends on my mood,” Liu Weizhe replied.

Hearing this reply, Chen Wei secretly made a “yay~” gesture—Liu Weizhe always clearly indicated when he didn’t want to do something, so when he said, “depends on my mood,” he usually meant, “I’m willing to try.”

It was just that when he was willing to try would really depend on his mood.

The two people watched the game without any pressure, and facts proved that the CLM team could win with ease under Jiang Xinyi’s command.

Mo Chen and Wen Xi’s skills were already good, so adding on Jiang Xinyi’s “strategy” was just like giving a tiger wings.

The four of them pretty much curb stomped their way into the final circle, and with their entire team still alive, they took first place in the first squad match of the competition.

After watching the game, the audience cheered for CLM, but at the same time, they couldn’t help but sigh for Chen Wei again—It seemed that CLM really didn’t have a spot for Chen Wei anymore, and they didn’t know whether there would still be a chance to watch him play.

However, the next morning during the second solo game:

When all the teams were ready to fight against this Mo Chen and Wen Xi pair, Chen Wei, came, out, to fight!

Bunny Ji exclaimed, “I never expected that!”

A-Yi laughed, “Hahaha, I never expected that either!”

The two casters were amazed and surprised to see Chen Wei on the stage, while the other teams didn’t even have time to despair.

“Fuck! Didn’t they say that Windy had already been reduced to a substitute? Why did he come out again?”

“We wasted a whole night studying how to deal with Momo and Wency’s solo match, yet in the end?!”

“Don’t tell me that CLM’s lineups have been handed over to Newing as well.”

They truly were wrong about this. It was Mo Chen who was responsible for their lineups. Although he would listen to the opinions of the coach and his team members, the final decision was always made by him.

Before making a decision, he said, “We have more people now, so we can be more flexible in our lineups. Anyway, everything is focused around one main point—however other people think we’ll distribute our members, we won’t do that. We’ll run counter to them and just finish off the matter.”

This sounded rebellious, but it had a certain strategic significance. It also trusted in the performance of every member of the team, so his teammates certainly raised both their hands in support.

Chen Wei was the first to jump up in support, exclaiming, “I agree! It sounds fun just listening to it!”

Ling Shuyi laughed, “Hahaha, I can’t wait to see the surprised expressions of the other teams!”

Jiang Xinyi said, “Alright ah, there is nothing better than letting the preparations of the other teams all completely go to waste.”

Wen Xi said, “I’ll listen to you~”

In this way, Mo Chen and Wen Xi played in the first solo match on the first day of the Summer Championship while Chen Wei didn’t play in the duo or squad match on the first day of the Summer Championship. Then, on the second day of the Summer Championship, Chen Wei suddenly took part in the solo match, while Ling Shuyi had disappeared from the duo and squad matches…

CLM’s lineup surprised the casters and the audience again and again, and also gave the other teams a constant headache.

For the last two days of the summer games, CLM decided their lineup by rolling dice—If even they weren’t sure what the lineup would be, how could the other teams predict it?

It could be said that for the entire Summer Championship, CLM played circles around the other teams.

They had already originally grown much stronger since the Spring Championship, and since they had also destroyed the confidence of other teams this way, CLM’s performance in the Summer Championship could be described as “completely crushing,” which undoubtedly made CLM gain many fans.

After the regular season came to an end, if any Mo Chen anti slandered him, they would instantly experience a one-sided attack, with every line of slander met with ten lines attacking them.

Someone said: [Hehe, I’m still watching to see if he actually shows up to the global finals this time.]

Someone else immediately replied: [If CLM can’t win the championship, then which team can? If you flame Momo into leaving, how will that be good for you? I think you don’t want our country to win the championship!]

[Momo must regret not making it to the competition in time more than anyone else. At least he worked hard after that to win back their points during the competition. What can you do besides banging on your keyboard?]

[Some people will slander others even if they have never done anything themselves. With all due respect, you can’t match Momo’s little finger!]

In addition, with the progress of Mo Chen’s teammates, the theory that “Mo Chen’s teammates also have a share of the blame” also quickly broke down. The new e-sports players who had some ability that had originally leaned more towards YEY and MQ were now starting to consider CLM.

Liu Weizhe looked through the self-recommendation and application forms on his computer and couldn’t help but sigh—This profession was too realistic.

Based on this trend, CLM may be able to build a secondary team before the playoffs.

*

At the end of students’ summer vacation, the playoffs finally finished.

CLM’s results during the playoffs were even more impressive than during the regular season, and the Pacific Ocean could fit between their and second place’s total points.

After seeing the rankings, the casters were embarrassed to include YEY and MQ along with CLM as the three strongest teams in the country.

However, after the Summer Championship, YEY and MQ had completely tossed aside the idea of competing with CLM and focused more on the competition for second place.

In fact, they had already begun to show signs of this during the playoffs. The two teams had fought against each other more fiercely than when they fought against CLM, with an attitude of “either you or me are going to die.”

Because of this, they mutually limited each other’s points during the playoffs, so neither of them could rise very high.

But in the end, it was decided—MQ was second place, and YEY was third.

This was the same as the summer rankings, but looking at the comprehensive points, YEY was still higher than MQ.

It wasn’t clear who would get second place during the global competition.

However, this wasn’t something that the members of CLM needed to worry about.

——They just wanted to celebrate happily now!

“Cheers! To us winning another championship!” Chen Wei stood up to raise the atmosphere.

Everyone gave him face by responding to him, and then Ling Shuyi hooked his arm around Jiang Xinyi’s neck and said, “We couldn’t have taken the Summer Championship without Xiao Xin!”

“Yes, yes!” Chen Wei agreed, “It’s thanks to Xiao Xin’s command!”

Ling Shuyi exclaimed, “Xiao Xin is really too amazing! The future captain of CLM, SGH has another legend!”

Jiang Xinyi, still with his neck hooked, had originally been pretending like he didn’t want to associate with these common rabble. However, he was praised by these two in turn, and the more he was praised, the shyer he became. Finally, he collapsed on the table and exclaimed, “Hey, that’s enough! You guys don’t even blink when you praise people ah?”

Wen Xi laughed and said, “It’s what you deserve.”

“Oh, ah, um…” Jiang Xinyi had goosebumps all over his body, and he nearly couldn’t sit still anymore. “If you praise me anymore, I’ll leave ah?”

“Alright, alright, let’s stop praising and start eating ba! Anyway, we’re all part of the same team,” Chen Xiao said, taking the lead to start eating.

As soon as he dug in, everyone else also started to move their chopsticks.

Wen Xi poured himself a cup of coconut milk, before reflexively turning his head to see that Mo Chen’s glass was empty. He was just about to ask him whether he wanted beer or coconut milk, when he suddenly noticed that Mo Chen was holding his cellphone and looking at something. His facial expression was a little complicated.

It wasn’t imposing, but it definitely wasn’t an expression you’d show when celebrating a championship.

Wen Xi froze for a moment, then knocked his elbow gently against him. “What’s the matter?”

Mo Chen snapped out of it and gave him a smile, before putting down his cellphone and saying, “Nothing.”

On his cellphone screen, there was an official announcement from the SGH League, posted just a few minutes ago.

The title of the announcement was, “SGH professional league competition system reform.”
