Like water smearing with ink

The second World Invitational Tournament came to a perfect end. The Chinese team finally won the crown after twists and turns. Team captain Yu Wenzhou accepted a post-match interview on behalf of the Chinese team, and finally announced his retirement amid disbelief.

This is the beginning of the league's thirteenth season. The eleven-month summer in G city is always the most scorching time. You can get tanned by one degree even if you walk on the road for fifteen minutes at noon. Yu Wenzhou accepted the appointment from the General Administration but decided to make up for the youth he had lost while playing Glory. On the one hand, he was working as a special adviser to the General Administration, and on the other hand, he also served as the vice chairman of the alliance. On the other hand, he became a Z student.

Huang Shaotian, who was promoted to captain of Blue Rain, chased after him when he returned to visit Blue Rain. He complained and questioned him overwhelmingly. From trivial matters about the team to personal life, everything was thrown at him. In the final analysis, it was just one question. :Why retire?

Yu Wenzhou was still smiling and smiling. Ye Xiu once said it was the smile of an old vampire bat [1]. He was unconvinced. He bent his eyes and pursed his lips, which frightened Huang Shaotian, who had not seen him for more than a month.

"Good question, why did you retire?"

At the end of the first World Invitational Tournament, he knew that his career as a player would no longer be long-term. In the eleventh season, he played with all his strength. Gu Shengsheng snatched the championship from Tyranny. As a handicap recognized by the league, he even won the Most Valuable Player in the final team competition with his incredible hand speed. At the beginning of the twelfth season, he obviously felt that he was starting to be unable to do what he wanted. His constant adjustment of his own state once made the headlines of E-Sports Home analyze. Finally, he had to start preparing for a retreat. Blue Rain squeezed into the quarterfinals, entered the playoffs, and finally fought for the finals. Tiny Herb, the archrival who was prepared for the game, fell short of being the runner-up by one move. [2] On the night after the game, he and Wang Jiexi secretly went out for a drink, and the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk about losing the captaincy until they got drunk. In the end, Huang Shaotian, who was missing and looking for his missing person, and Ye Xiu, who had nothing to do to watch the game, picked him up.

Why retire?

As the captain of Blue Rain for ten years[3], I won two championships and two Asian championships, plus the World Invitational Championship, I have four championships in hand. Why doesn't Yu Wenzhou retire because he can't go back?

"Captain... no, Wenzhou, you can obviously play again..." Huang Shaotian muttered to himself as he looked at the former captain who came to the Lanyu cafeteria for a meal.

Yu Wenzhou squinted his eyes and thought, of course he can continue. Wei Chen, the former master of Soksar, could make a comeback with the windward formation and accompany Ye Xiu to win the first crown of Xingxin. His It is an indisputable fact that he is stronger than Wei Chen. As an e-sports player, it is of course possible to continue playing Honor and compete in games, but not as the captain of Blue Rain.

Publicly, the team does not need a captain who has been in office for too long and is already exhausted; privately, Yu Wenzhou does not want to become the second Wei Chen.

When Wei Chen left Lan Yu that year, he had no choice but to retreat. All remaining value had been squeezed out by Lan Yu. He had dedicated himself to his best work, but his posture was really embarrassing. Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian, and later Lan Yu almost no one remembered the achievements of this old captain. People will always remember the last impression you made when you left the show. Because it cannot be changed, it is the deepest impression and the corresponding deepest regret. Yu Wenzhou didn't want to leave the stage in such an embarrassing situation.

"Just think that I am retreating from the rapids." Yu Wenzhou recalled for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and spoke for a long time, and finally left the old partner of Sword and Curse with this honest answer.

Huang Shaotian was furious: "Nonsense, you are obviously retreating from the rapids. What I asked is why why why why?"

"The result is the cause, and the existence is reasonable." Yu Wenzhou smiled After collecting the tableware and going to the recycling point, taking Huang Shaotian's share with him, just like three months ago, the calm and unhurried former captain Shi Shiran pushed the door open and left, leaving the captain behind. I don't know if he was confused or thinking in place, "I See you later.”

Of course Lan Yu couldn’t stay where he was because of Yu Wenzhou’s departure, and neither could Huang Shaotian, but after all, he was struggling all the way to the top eight without a handy tactician. The bottom line was reached, and the thirteenth season ended with regret.

When I was a high school student in Yu Wenzhou who was working part-time and part-study, Ban Ren felt that this child’s malleable talent would definitely guarantee double first-class status in the college entrance examination. Thinking of the fact that he dropped out of school on the day of his 100th day in high school to play online games full-time, they kept saying that he was obsessed with things and lost his ambition, and he was warned every time that he was a model failure. Even though he later achieved great results as the captain of Blue Rain in the sixth season, he led Blue Rain to win the championship and became the focus of G City. He frequently appeared on advertising screens. Lao Ban Ren only stopped criticizing him too much but still regretted that he did not take the college entrance examination. .

Yu Wenzhou also regrets, but it is impossible to open two main lines at the same time in life. The other can only be a copy, existing in fantasy and cracks, and opening a branch line in addition to the main line to try to make up for the missed attribute points. After retiring from the national team in e-sports, which can be considered a sport, Yu Wenzhou, who passed the Z University interview and re-examination, chose the latter from the two ideal majors of high school student Yu Wenzhou, computer science and psychology. He did not want to continue I'm in front of the computer all day long.

Although it would be difficult to study systematically for many years, fortunately, the psychology class suited Master Tactician Yu Wenzhou’s taste. Society is like a huge arena of glory, and analytical psychology happens to be the strength of Yu Wenzhou, one of the four cores nicknamed Bai Qiehei. Systematically classifying past experiences and labeling them with professional terms, whether it is applied psychology or basic psychology, he is quite comfortable in professional courses. Although the final grades were definitely not top-notch, fortunately they were not at the bottom of the pile, and the final grade points were considered unsatisfactory. I even tried my best to double major in social sciences, and finally graduated with double diplomas.

In the blink of an eye, two or three years later, Yu Wenzhou went to City B and took a diploma to secure the top e-sports management position in the General Administration. He turned down the invitation from the league to become chairman and even resigned altogether. The position of Vice Chairman is completely severed from Glory. The World of Glory Invitational Tournament continued the following year[4], and he avoided the suspicion and did not participate in the team leader and captain elections. However, Ye Xiu, who had inexplicably worked part-time as an e-sports expert consultant, returned to his heart. Every time he compared the merits of his performance and the quality of his people, he would skip the work of the president of his family company every time during the World Invitational Tournament season to work on this side job. Ye Qiu was so angry that he only had two jobs and was half focused on catching the person back. Yu Wenzhou, the bystander, was astonished.

"Wenzhou, please help me take a look." Ye Xiu was sitting in the office quietly puffing away smoke. The expert's seat looked more like a senior manager, but not like a part-time president. " You were the captain and the national captain back then, so you could help me make decisions."

"No, weren't you the team leader back then?" Yu Wenzhou was holding the disliked veteran cadre's health tea. The smell of cigarette smoke swallowed, "Besides, I haven't played Glory for many years, and I don't understand the current market. You still have to come."

"Wenzhou," Ye Xiu suddenly caught the fun, He put out the cigarette butt and destroyed the body with traces of smoking, and smiled like a fox he hadn't seen for a long time. "How long have you been back?"

"Go back?" Yu Wenzhou was a little confused, thinking that Ye Xiu must have been hanging out with Wang Jiexi for a long time. His mind was a little tangled, "Are you talking about Glory? Or G City? Or Blue Rain?"

"Both," Ye Xiu clicked his tongue for a while, "You are determined to make a clean break with the past. , judging from your current accent, you are already from City B."

"No." Yu Wenzhou shook his head, "Huang Shaotian came to me half a year ago, so it's not a clean break."

"The accent is not deceiving." Ye Xiu smiled seriously, "Even when I was in H City, my B City accent couldn't be changed much. If you don't believe me, try Cantonese now."

"What are you talking about?"

"The signature of your captain Lan Yu back then: We still have many people who belong to..."

"We...we still have many people who belong to Lan Yu" Rainy summer." After saying this strangely, Yu Wenzhou was stunned, and went to check the documents on the table with a wry smile: "It's not a clean break, it's impossible to go back."

"We still have many belongings. Blue Rain’s Summer.”

At the end of the seventeenth season playoffs, when the Blue Rain team won the third championship, E-Sports Home decided to make a big plan and create a chronicle of the Glory Champions Team. , and took the opportunity to conduct exclusive interviews with the former tactical core of each team. When the reporter found Yu Wenzhou after many rounds, it happened to be the time when Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian were reminiscing about each other after not seeing each other for many years. The sword and curse in the past were now on different sides. One was working as a cadre with moderate qualifications in the General Administration, and the other was a free traveler around the world eating, drinking and having fun. Wandering around[5]. But the reporter only saw that the relationship between the two was still the same, so they secretly wondered whether the two were always as close as before and whether it would be a good story.

"Aren't you going to do an interview?" Yu Wenzhou smiled and woke up the young reporter who was distracted. His eyebrows were curved with ease. Huang Shaotian blinked on the other side of the tea seat with a look of expectation. The scene gradually resembled that after the game. When the captain and deputy captain Lan Yu were interviewed, it was Huang Shaotian who said a lot less. The old reporter who used to follow the Blue Rain team could see that he was sighing.

"What is your profession now?"

"Is the road to glory still continuing?"

"What do you think of the current situation of Blue Rain? ”

“What is the relationship between the former Sword and Curse Blue Rain ace now?”

“Have you ever had any regrets?”

…

"If you were to sum up your past glory, what words would you use?"

Old The captain and the former captain talked calmly and the other talked eloquently, but they had both been captains and were both over the age of 10. They knew that it was more wrong than good to say more, so the two of them just discussed the matter calmly and analyzed it. When it came to the last two questions, Huang Shaotian applied it. Ye Xiu once gave him an evaluation and the title of Sword Master without any words, but Yu Wenzhou thought about it for a long time.

“The disadvantage is hand speed, and the advantage is also hand speed.”

“Like water smearing ink.

"

Seeing that the reporter was about to ask what he meant, Yu Wenzhou waved his hand and said it was over. He took the manuscript paper and checked the interview record to confirm that it was correct, then signed and handed it back. His movements were the same as when he was in Lanyu, and he was still polite. The tactful hint was over.

After the reporters left, Huang Shaocai asked the same questions as the reporters. Yu Wenzhou's signature smile never changed, and he refilled the cups of tea for both of them. < /p>

“When I first joined Blue Rain, I was at the bottom of the training camp. Disliked by everyone, ostracized by everyone. Even if he became the captain in the end, he was not favored at the beginning. "

"Yes, don't tell me that I didn't notice you at first. I just heard from Boss Wei that there was such a little warlock who had mediocre hand speed and struggled at the end. Moreover, I was particularly dissatisfied when you first took over as captain. I remember that we seemed to have cold wars, quarrels and even fights. "

"Indeed, my hand speed is so mediocre that it is difficult to change, so I have to work hard on tactics. It was not until later that I became one of the Blue Rain duo, a captain you can trust, and the master tactician you call me. "The fragrance of tea lingers, and Yu Wenzhou's eyes are as if they are separated by mist, making it difficult to see the emotions.

"But what does this have to do with ink dyeing water? "

"My growth in Blue Rain and the Alliance is like water stained with ink. It's painful and not glorious. Tactical research and even intrigues have affected my personality and living habits. I often feel that this road goes all the way to the darkest point, and there is no way out. "Yu Wenzhou's voice was a little hoarse, "The water dyed black by ink is no longer transparent, and it can't be transparent anymore. This road is like being covered with water and cannot be recovered. Even if I don't want to, I can't turn back. ”

“No one wants to live so tiredly, even for a dream. "Yu Wenzhou didn't want to continue this topic. He put down his tea and said, "Next stop, where do you plan to go? ”

“Let’s take a walk around City B.” Huang Shaotian blinked, "Do you have any good recommendations?" Or, why don't you just relax and ask for a day off and let's go together?"

"...Is it because of what I just said?"

"Not really, I heard from Lao Ye that you haven't seen each other for a long time. Really rested.
