Chapter 197 Arriving in Malta, betting against the bald man
the next day.

It was December 4th.

CXG flew to Malta to participate in the EPL-19 event.

Tianlu was on the same plane with them.

Luo Chong greeted them politely and his eyes stayed on 259 for a long time.

This guy is really stubborn and can't be driven away no matter how hard you try to scold him.

Despite all the online violence and malice directed at him, both he and the club remained as steady as an old dog and as unmoved as a mountain.

I really don’t know what he was thinking.

It's quite strange to say.

With a result like Tianlu's, the club was under pressure and said a lot of inexplicable things.

One statistic cannot reflect 259's contribution to the team. It's really laughable and meaningless.

If a command cannot be reflected in the data, then the victory or defeat should be reflected.

But no, winning or losing cannot reflect how much 259 contributed to the team.

The outside world is cursing at the moment. What evidence does 259 have against the management of the Tianlu Club?

The data is not good, and we didn't win the game. You have both, but it doesn't show. It seems that all the good things have been taken by you, and black can be washed into white.

It's really invincible.

He's already 31 years old, and he can still stand there and act like a fool.

No one can understand why. If it were a European team, the club would have made substitutions long ago.

Why would we have to wait so long?

……

And while Luo Chong was sailing.

Perfect also released the interview.

Q: "Chongshen, how big is your goal for EPL-19 this time?"

A: "Of course it's the championship. Our team is aiming for the championship."

Q: “Is the team running-in enough? Can s1mple communicate effectively with other players?”

A: “This is not the key factor affecting our championship.”

Q: "Is it difficult for Senpa to integrate into the team?"

A: "No, Moriha took the initiative to learn Chinese. He has some basic Chinese knowledge. Although he has not integrated into the team quickly, his progress is pretty good. After all, we are also learning English, and we are making progress together."

The interview was very short. After all, it was a telephone interview. There was no offline interview, and it was sent out in text form.

There were soon hundreds of comments, many of which clicked in after seeing the news about the interview.

Comment: "Another champion? Chongshen's goal is so clear."

"To be honest, it's hard to say about CXG this time. Moriha is strong, but communication is a bit difficult."

"Laoniu is also a new player, but CXG still won the IEM Chengdu championship."

"How can it be the same? Lao Niu can at least communicate without any obstacles, can Senpo do it?"

"Fast forward to Senpo's back stealing, once the report is made, CXG can't understand."

"Haha, don't say it, it's really possible."

"Senpo is learning Chinese. You can tell from this that he speaks a few words in Chinese from time to time during the live broadcast. It's quite exciting."

"That's great, CXG. You're so talented and you love to learn. If you're not better than me, who is better?"

"LVG, Tianlu, RA, learn from CXG."

"There's a big brother team in China. You guys can hug their thighs if you can. If there's a training match, you can arrange it. It's not shameful."

"CXG is the sharpening stone for domestic teams. The more you sharpen it, the sharper it will become."

……

Malta is a tiny country in the heart of the Mediterranean.

There were no direct flights from China, so Luo Chong first flew to Germany and then took a special plane.

After more than ten hours of travel, Senpo was in great pain and felt uncomfortable all over.

After arriving in Malta, Luo Chong and his friends had no mood to appreciate the scenery. They all had backaches and prepared to rest as soon as they got off the plane.

But Luo Chong and Sen Po had to hold back and busy themselves with their mission.

The official side will conduct a brief pre-match interview with them.

This pre-match interview is the pre-match program seen in the live broadcast room before the live game.

Almost all of them are routine and commonplace.

Luo Chong and Sen Po are the focus of attention and are indispensable.

After all, one is the new champion captain, and the other is the returning goat Senpo.

Both are hot topics, there is no reason not to do it.

If I hadn't rested on the plane, I really wouldn't have been able to bear it.

Not only them were interviewed, but also players from other teams.

G2, Bee, and Faze all have players there too.

"chong, you look very tired."

The eldest cousin joked: "Young people can't say no."

"I sent you a message as soon as I got off the plane. I haven't even taken a breath yet."

Luo Chong complained, "My cousin, your message is too clear. Do you look down on young people? I'll let you know how powerful young people are later."

"Mori Po."

Master Ni approached Master Feizhu with a teasing smile, "I thought about your comeback, but I didn't expect you to make a comeback in CXG."

"How's it going? Feeling okay?"

"How's the cooperation with Chong?"

Moriha and Ni Gongzi are old acquaintances, "Needless to say, I'll just beat you up, noob!"

The top brother on the list immediately gave Ni Gongzi a level of strength, and if he disagreed with someone, he would be labeled a rookie.

"Noob, who are you talking about?"

"You just came back. I don't know how good you are at shooting. You don't even have the sniper rifle anymore. Can you fight me with your rifle?"

"You should go back to making tiles. That's where you can retire."

Mr. Ni retorted mercilessly.

"Fuck it, you should go get a pension."

"We'll see."

"Don't let us run into you, or we'll beat you to pieces, you bitch."

Senpo snorted, and the two of them looked at each other with fire and full of gay feelings.

Luo Chong and the others can just watch the show.

Mr. Ni was right. The Senpo rifle was powerful, but it was not easy for him, a sniper from the world, to use a rifle in front of the best sniper from the world.

"Why did you think of inviting Senpo to join?"

The eldest cousin asked doubtfully, "Will he agree to join just because of your scolding?"

"That's impossible. Senpo is not someone you can move."

"It's very simple. I like Senpo very much and don't want to see him depressed."

Luo Chong said: "Even if Senpo is defeated, he still won't admit defeat."

"Cousin, you should have experienced it before and understand that the way down the mountain is not easy."

"No one can accept the cruel reality of their own decline. That feeling is more painful than death."

"I told him that my eldest cousin was still playing at the age of 34, so why should he, at the age of 26, just rest on his laurels and let himself fall into depravity?"

"Do you want to be a coward and a wimp?"

The eldest cousin nodded and said, "Okay, I know that feeling. It's not a very good experience."

"But I think you are implying something to me with this metaphor."

"Maybe if you come to faze, I will leave."

Yu Shen, Dou Dou, and other veterans all felt the same way.

E-sports is a young profession. Once your performance declines as you get older, you will clearly feel what it means that time is unforgiving.

As for the cousin asking Luo Chong to go to Faze, he chose to ignore it.

Luo Chong has his own club, so how could he possibly go to Faze?

It's just a joke.

"But if you do that, what if Senpa performs poorly in the game? Not only will it affect the team's results, but it will also cause problems for Senpa's mentality."

He whispered under his breath.

"We'll have to fight to find out."

Luo Chong would never say that he has the blessing of dominance.

The talent ceiling of the top brother on the list is already extremely exaggerated.

There is no need to increase his talent limit for the server, that would be really abnormal, and Feizhu would become a non-human.

As long as Senpo can perform stably, he will be invincible.

If Luo Chong performs poorly during the game, it will never happen.

of course.

Right now the team's compatibility is only 60%. Although it has improved, it is not as simple and fast as before.

But with a 60% degree of compatibility, the team still cooperates invisibly, and it will definitely not be a problem.

The interview begins.

Luo Chong and the others were chatting on one side while the interview was taking place on the other.

After everyone has finished, it is their turn. Everyone is just queuing.

"Want to get together later?"

"No problem, but let's wait until we go back and rest."

"Sure!" After the appointment, it was Luo Chong and Sen Po's turn. After the interview, the two said goodbye and slipped away.

Senpo returned to the room and lay down.

Luo Chong posted an update on social media and fell asleep.

Wait until night to get up.

When I saw the messages, there were a lot of them. I simply processed the replies and found Senpo.

This guy sleeps like a dead pig.

He couldn't help but grin evilly and started taking pictures of him.

"Old pig."

"The old pig is up."

Luo Chong shook Senpo a few times, and the old pig finally woke up in a daze.

"Pack up and get ready to go out."

Without waiting for Senpo's response, he went to clean up, and Senpo also got up quickly and got busy.

"Oh my god, how can I play in this state tomorrow?"

"Fake."

"I should have come earlier."

"This state is too bad."

Senpo began to worry about his condition.

After all, I haven't played a game for a long time, and I'm still a little nervous.

"Relax, if you can't do it, I'll take you there."

"Usually I'm the one who leads the team. How can I let others lead me?"

Moriha said unconvinced.

"It's not up to you."

After they finished packing, they went to meet up with their eldest cousin and his friends and went to the booked place.

No bottles of wine or anything, just a small gathering and some drinks.

"Chong, you have a bald head, when can you grow long hair?"

Breathing asked.

Luo Chong touched his bald head. It was just shaved, and it was smooth and not prickly. "Why, are you jealous?"

"No, I want to see what you look like with long hair. I heard that a bald head can bring extra strength. You are so strong that you might be even stronger with long hair." Breathing said with a smirk.

Luo Chong: “…”

You're really going to suffocate the water if you keep breathing.

Thinking of this way to deal with me.

You have to use your brain on the court, and you have to use your brain off the court, right?

Want to kill the opponent in this way?

I want to eat shit.

My strength is not brought by being bald
"Well, let's make a bet. If you beat me when we meet G2, I will keep long hair."

"If not, how about you all shave your heads and join the Bald Family?"

Luo Chong said provocatively.

Mr. Ni and the child immediately showed expressions of fear.

Nexa and his cousin also looked dazed.

Breathing with eyes wide open.

"Why, are you scared? You don't have the confidence to beat us CXG, right?"

Luo Chong said this in a dim voice, but the mocking and disparaging tone was evident in his words.

EPL-19 is divided into four groups, with four places in each group advancing to the knockout stage.

CXG is in Group B, and its first round opponent is Tianlu.

In the first round, we will defeat our domestic colleagues and have a derby in a big competition.

But it just so happens that G2 is also in Group B, but they are in the upper half and CXG is in the lower half.

In other words, if the two teams advance to 2:0, they will meet in the winner group of the third round.

"How could we be afraid?"

His face flushed as he breathed, and he spoke in a tough tone.

Mr. Ni looked embarrassed, the child hesitated to speak, and Nexa and his cousin had vague glances.

"So you agreed?"

Luo Chong continued to add fuel to the fire.

Moriha also came to assist, "Niko, what are you doing, why are you not talking?"

"Where is the courage you used to mock me?"

"Now CXG has challenged you G2 to a bet, are you afraid to accept it?"

"Oh ho ho, Niko, you'll be scared one day too."

"Are you afraid of becoming bald, or do you lack the confidence to beat CXG?"

"Noob!, coward, bitch."

It must be said that Senpa is well versed in the art of sarcasm, and he is full of firepower and aggression.

How could Mr. Ni bear it? "Okay, come on."

"Just gamble."

"Illya, don't be afraid, kill them."

The child didn't know whether to laugh or cry, wondering how he could have gotten himself onto the platform.

But he doesn't want to become a bald man, and he doesn't want to admit defeat before the fight.

"Okay, I'll take it too."

The child said helplessly.

"Wow."

Little Bee and Faze all joined in the fun, enjoying the excitement.

What else could nexa and huNter do? Their teammates had given it their all and shown their determination, so how could they not accept the challenge?

"received!"

"OK!"

Luo Chong raised his head and laughed, then pointed his head at Faze and the little bee.

"Doudou."

"Big cousin."

"Do you guys want to come too?"

The eldest cousin said: "Chong, I won't bet with you on whether I will win or not."

"Well, I can promise you that if you can win this tournament, I am personally willing to shave my head bald."

He touched his already limited hair and said, "If you lose, your entire team will have their heads shaved."

"Including Moriha."

Breathing also thought of something and said, "Yes, our whole team is betting against you."

"But this agreement needs to be changed. If you keep your hair long, then the rest of your team will have to shave their heads."

"Otherwise it's not fair."

Luo Chong also said: "It's not fair, cousin. It's unfair for one person to bet against our entire team. No, no, no."

Li Xiang, Wang Jie, Sen Po, and Niu Tianyu were also dumbfounded.

How did he suddenly rise to the level of the entire team?

Brother, we don’t want to.

But I can't say this if I don't want to. If I say it, it's just superficial. I don't have the strength to win the championship, and I don't have the confidence to beat G2.

It's a dilemma to be on the edge of a tiger.

Just like G2 just now.

"Doudou, what do you say? Do you want to watch and not join the gambling?"

Luo Chong looked at the little bees. At this moment, they were all very alert and no one spoke easily.

In this bet, one side will definitely lose.

The loser will definitely suffer a lot.

The whole team is bald.

"So, how about changing the way of gambling?"

"If anyone doesn't win the championship, the whole team will be bald."

Doudou said: "If none of us win the championship, then we will all be bald."

"You are even more cruel. Of all the choices, you chose the one where there would be total annihilation and no winners."

Luo Chong raised his thumb and said, "Okay, let's discuss it first."

The four teams discussed it and soon came up with an answer.

The four strongest teams at the moment all have the potential to win the championship.

How could I not accept such a gamble?

This matter will definitely get out.

faze: "We at faze have no objection."

Little Bee: "We don't have any either."

G2: "Agreed."

CXG: "OJ8k!"
