After the drawing had ended, everyone at ZGDX was quite satisfied with the result and prepared to go back to their rooms to go back to sleep.Xiao Rui was planning to have a meeting with management to decide on the date for the team to fly to San Francisco. The S6 tournament would begin on September 30th and it was already September 10th. With the invitations from Riot Games, the players had all gotten their visas already. In theory, Xiao Rui was hoping that the players could go to the US early enough so they could get over their jet lag and adjust to the food and climate over there.
The players had no objection to going to the US early. It would be nice to get used to the surroundings before the actual matches while playing some skirmishes with other international teams and even get some sightseeing in at the same time.
After the players expressed their willingness to go early, they were dismissed on the spot. Lu Sicheng followed Tong Yao back to her room. As Tong Yao was getting the bed ready, he stood right behind her. As Tong Yao climbed onto the bed while yawning, he also got in the bed.
Tong Yao had gotten used to it.
Since she had gotten up quite early in the morning, she had no energy to fuss over it. She rested her head on Lu Sicheng's chest as he laid down on the bed. She moved around to find a more cozy position and yawned...... Lu Sicheng held onto her head: "Don't move, or we won't be able to get any sleep."
"Didn't you play ranked matches till 4 am this morning, you still have the energy to do anything else?"
Lu Sicheng's fingers, which were caressing her face, paused: "I still have the energy to do it once. Do you want to try it?"
Tong Yao thought: who would want to try it in broad daylight.
She reached over to pat Lu Sicheng's face then grabbed her cell phone to check on Tieba to see the discussion on the result of the drawing. She then changed the subject: "The result of the drawing is quite unexpected. We manage to avoid all three Korean teams-- --Though there's nothing wrong about meeting them in the group match so we can check them out, I still feel quite relieved that we won't. People on Tieba seem to all agree that we got the best result from the drawing and CK got the worst of it. Do you think this counts as being afraid of the Koreans?"
"The China region hasn't done well in the S series finals for so many years and has been called the second region all this time, shivering under the shadow of Korean dominance. We won the championship at the Mid-Season Invitational during S5 and everyone thought that was the most hopeful year for the China region. Then two of the three teams came back after the group match. The only team left got eliminated in the quarter-finals...... It's only natural that people view us as the underdog."
"Last year if your guys were able to go, maybe you guys could have moved past the quarter-finals."
"We weren't as strong last year as we are now, in terms of our ability to execute, make decisions, and champion pools. Thinking back on it now, we were indeed not as good as the Korean region then." Lu Sicheng wasn't too interested in analyzing the past: "Besides that's already in the past, what's there to think about now."
Tong Yao on the other hand couldn't stop herself from thinking about it. Last year ZGDX had gotten a ticket to go to S5, but had to give up because of the incident that happened to Lu Yue and Ming god. Which team was the one that went to S5 instead? ...... At the time, Tong Yao wasn't paying much attention to the professional scene and couldn't recall which team it was.
As she was thinking about it, her eyelids became heavier and heavier. After browsing on her cell phone for a little longer, she fell asleep in Lu Sicheng's warm arms.
