Those Sweet Times

Chapter 101 Part 2

Extra: Shen Zemu and YangYin

The schedule for the preliminaries was rather tight. It wasn’t realistic to expect all the matches would be streamed. The organizer had picked certain matches each day to livestream with commentators. Dw team didn’t get to show their faces on camera until the second day of the competition and some female fans were shocked at what they had seen: Which team is this? Look at the figures, look at their skin…… Are you sure they haven’t put on some makeup? ?

The other teams always had one or two chubby players on their teams. For some teams, all the players were overweight. The five players of Dw, on the other hand, were all quite fit, regardless of how tall or short they were. They didn’t have slouching or hunched backs. They looked energetic and in high spirits. The players of other teams all had darker, rough, and pimpled skin from staying up at night too often. Yet, the young players on Dw team didn’t have those skin problems. Their skin was tight, smooth, and shiny.

It didn’t seem reasonable for young men to have skins like theirs.

The viewers certainly didn’t know it was because the players all go to bed early and get up early in the morning. They exercised everyday and followed a rigid daily routine. The audience instead suspected the owner of the team might have unusual preferences when choosing players.

After the players came on stage, the coach followed. Then the male viewers started to get excited: It’s a woman coach! A woman! !

The woman coach was slender and quite photogenic. Her skin was also in good condition. She was wearing a business suit, with light makeup. She naturally waved at the camera and smiled.

Stream viewers began sending bullet comments like crazy: Au! I’m in love! This is my wifey, no one can fight with me!

The competition wasn’t open to a live audience on site. Shen Zemu stayed in the break room for competing teams. He watched the live stream and saw a bunch of people fighting over whose wifey Yang Yin should be on the bullet comments and turned off the comments with a frown.

Dw won the match in the end. Because the opponent wasn’t a strong team, many viewers didn’t figure out what the key to Dw’s victory was. Only at the end of the game, one of the commentators said: “I feel Dw has done a lot of homework on their opponent.”

The next few days whenever Dw had a game, that comment would be repeated again and again.

Dw had done their homework on this opponent.

Dw had done their homework on that opponent.

Dw had done their homework on all their opponents……

It was a shocking discovery for the other teams. Many of the teams in the preliminaries were newcomers and didn't have much exposure before the competition. Even though many teams would play skirmishes against each other and had some level of interaction with each other. Yet skirmishes were a totally different situation from the real competitions, both in the mindset and the way a team played.

Normally, only the three teams that had been eliminated from the major league would have had enough exposure that made it easy for teams to analyze them. They had played at least a full season of regular games and there were many competition videos online about those teams.

But, it turned out that there was one team which had studied every team thoroughly. All the other teams, no matter how obscure or secretive they had been, could no longer make any surprise moves on team Dw.

To be able to achieve that, it wasn’t something that could be done in a short time. The other teams were certain that Dw must have started to study and analyze them long ago.

When the other teams thought that Dw had been quietly watching them all this time, they all had the jitters.

The other teams certainly would analyze their opponents. But, they didn’t do it as thoroughly as Dw. In addition, they usually wouldn’t bother to analyze Dw as they had lost all of their main players.

“I’m especially curious as to how they do it.” During one of the matches, the handsome commentator made no secret about his doubts: “I believe many viewers are as curious as I am. To be able to analyze the opponents to such a degree of detail and successfully trick the opponents during the ban & pick phase time after time, I figure this couldn’t be achieved just by one person. There’s probably a good sized coaching team behind the team. That’s the secret of their success.”

“There’s one more point you forgot to mention.” The other commentator added: “I’ve noticed that each of Dw’s players haven’t been outstanding players in the preliminaries, but they are players who work together as a team the best among all the teams. This is a team game and Dw’s players have completely demonstrated that.”
