There are still 30 minutes until the official start of the semi-finals.

The atmosphere in Ruz's lounge was very brisk. When Lin Mingfei pushed the door and came in, uu was still busy tidying up the wrinkles on Mumu's team uniform.

There is no sense of tension before the game.

Ya gnawed on some potato chips that he didn't know where, and when he saw Lin Mingfei came in, he handed them over: "God Lin?"

Lin Mingfei shook his head: "No need."

Since the lottery ended, Ruz breathed a sigh of relief, although Yi Ze always kept a straight face telling them not to take it lightly.

But against a team like ex, there's really no way to stand up for it.

Lin Mingfei walked up to Chu Lin and watched him tidy up the peripherals.

He just took out the keyboard when his face suddenly changed.

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Lin Mingfei stretched out his hand to touch the keyboard, his expression suddenly sank.

The keyboard is wet.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Try first to see if it works."

Chu Lin nodded, connected the keyboard to the computer, and debugged twice.

The light is always dimmed.

Lin Mingfei took the peripheral bag and touched it, the bottom was also wet.

"Did anyone touch Rain's peripherals this morning?"

"No." Everyone saw their actions and gathered around, Tao Tao frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Lin said in a deep voice, "My keyboard got wet and broke."

Tao Tao was startled.

"How did this happen?" His face turned cold, "Accident or man-made?"

"It wasn't an accident." Lin Mingfei suppressed the expression on his face, his expression was frighteningly cold, "It's man-made."

Tao Tao gasped.

He wanted to say something more, but Lin Mingfei waved his hand and interrupted him: "I'll investigate who did it later, and think about a solution first."

Chu Lin was still debugging the keyboard. He removed a few keycaps, wiped the wet places with a towel, and tried again.

The light remains dim.

"Can it be fixed?" Tao Tao looked anxious.

Chu Lin shook his head: "Water has seeped in, I need to take it apart to see what the problem is, and..."

Time is running out.

Half an hour to the semifinals.

Even if it can be repaired hastily, there is no guarantee that it will not fail suddenly.

If there is any problem with the keyboard in the middle of the game, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Yi Ze raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said in a deep voice, "Is there a spare keyboard?"

"The organizer should have prepared it, I'll get it." Tao Tao hurried to the door.

"The captain's keyboard is a custom-made style in Germany. Changing it temporarily will affect the feel of the hand." Mumu frowned. As a professional player, he naturally knows how much the impact of peripherals on the feel of the hand.

The peripherals of many players have a sense of fit after years of getting along with each other. Even if they change to new peripherals, they will choose the same style.

Some people even care about the shape, size and height of the mouse.

Chu Lin's keyboard was customized by a German peripheral company last year. It has a unique style and all black color, which is very distinctive.

His name "rain" is also engraved on the side below the number keys.

uu sighed: "Don't pay so much attention at this time, you also said that it is customized, where can I find the same keyboard now."

Ya said: "Let's try to see if it can be repaired first. If it can't be repaired, we can only make do with it."

"Yeah." Yi Ze nodded, "Fortunately, it's an ex this time. Even if you use the spare keyboard, I believe Chu Lin will have no problem."

"Lin." Chu Lin stopped his hand to adjust the keyboard, and suddenly said, "I remember you also brought out peripherals this time."

Lin Mingfei gave a sudden pause: "Yes... I left it in the hotel, I'll go get it now."

"Eh?" uu was puzzled.

Lin Mingfei explained: "Rain and I have the same type of keyboard, customized by the same company."

Yi Ze hurriedly asked: "Is there time to go to the hotel to get it now? I remember it takes about half an hour to go back and forth."

"In time." Lin Mingfei said as he walked out of the lounge, "I drove the car away, wait for me to come back..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Mingfei's figure hastily disappeared around the corner.

Chu Lin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes and saw that other people were still looking at him, and said, "Trust him, there is still time for the host's introduction at the beginning, so there is time."

Others: We didn't mean to ask this!We want to know why your keyboards are customized with the same style!

……

Half an hour later, Lin Mingfei hurried in with the peripherals.

Along the way, he almost drove the car to the extreme. The traffic lights made Wang Shu hack into the system to modify it forcibly. He turned the green lights all the way and came back in the shortest time.

The door was almost knocked open by him, and when they saw him, everyone stood up.

Lin Mingfei handed the keyboard to Chu Lin.

Chu Lin took it knowingly, connected it to the computer and debugged it twice.

The light is on.

no problem.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the host and the on-site commentator had already spoken a long paragraph, and they were introducing the teams of both sides of the match.

Not long after, it was time for the players to come out.

Chu Lin entered the arena holding Lin Mingfei's keyboard.

When the contestants debug the peripherals, the director switches the camera back and forth between the contestants.

As a star player, Chu Lin naturally had a lot of shots.

Many people saw that the white keyboard Chu Lin was adjusting with his fingers had three letters engraved on the side.

lin.

Lin Mingfei didn't go to the auditorium, but directly watched the electronic screen in Ruz's lounge.

He ran too fast just now, and now he was panting for words, so he was too lazy to go out.

As a coach, Yi Ze went to the front desk with the players to arrange the selection of tactics and bp.

Only Tao Tao and a few substitutes were in the waiting room.

"Why did the keyboard fail due to water?" Lin Mingfei asked suddenly.

Tao Tao was stunned: "You just said it was artificial? Who did it?"

"I don't know who it is." Lin Mingfei looked stern, "But I've seen the peripheral bag, only the keyboard and the bottom are wet, obviously someone splashed water on it."

Tao Tao gritted her teeth and scolded: "Who is so wicked?! Let me know, I..."

"Did anyone come to the lounge this morning?" Lin Mingfei interrupted him.

Tao Tao thought for a while: "No."

Then his expression turned serious: "Could it be that there is an inner ghost?"

He glanced in the direction of the substitute, then shook his head again: "Impossible."

Chu Lin's position is too important. He is the commander and the core of the whole team. Even if there is a problem with the peripherals, he will only change the peripherals instead of changing people.

"Then... has there ever been anything unusual for you?" Lin Mingfei asked again.

Tao Tao thought for a while, then slapped her forehead: "The organizer asked us to go for an interview this morning, saying that it was a temporary media presence, and everyone had to go over and say a few words."

"Everyone?"

"Yes." Tao Tao said, "Even the substitutes have been called over."

But he went on to add: "But I locked the door when I left, and it stands to reason that no one can come in."

Lin Mingfei sneered: "What if that person has a key?"

"How is that possible." Tao Tao muttered, and said in a low voice, "The organizer gave me three keys, and only I, Yi Ze and Chu Lin had them, and I didn't give them to the other team members."

After a pause, he suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "You mean...you mean..."

"That's right." Seeing that he understood, Lin Mingfei's cold gaze became even colder.

"If you break Rain's keyboard at this time, who will be the biggest beneficiary?"

——It's the ex team.

On the electronic screen, the first game ended and Ruz won.

1: 0!

The players returned to the lounge for halftime.

As soon as they entered the door, they surrounded Chu Lin, staring curiously at the keyboard in his hand.

Indeed, as Lin Mingfei said, their keyboards are of the same style, and even the places where the names are engraved are exactly the same.

The only difference is that Chu Lin's keyboard is black, while Lin Mingfei's is white.

Uu sighed with emotion: "Captain, you are indeed a fan of Lin God, even the keyboard is customized to be the same."

Mumu standing next to him gave him a strange look.

At the start of the second game, Chu Lin rested his hand on the white keyboard with a vacant look, and his gaze was firm.

10 minutes later, Ruz won another round and took the lead in getting the match point.

2: 0!

In the third game, ruz won the victory with a powerful posture, in which the captain Rain made a strong pentakill.

There was thunderous applause.

3: 0!

In this round of competition, Ruz defeated ex with an absolute advantage of 3:0.

Several times during the game, the camera pans across the players' hands waving on the keyboard.

And every time it switches to a close-up of Rain's hand, the name "lin" on the keyboard is also included in the shot.

——It was as if Lin was playing with Rain.

At the end of the game, the sound of live commentary resounded throughout the venue.

"Congratulations Ruz! Successfully advanced to the [-]th ZPL World League Finals!"

After the game, the winning team took the stage to accept a few interviews as usual.

Tao Tao walked from the lounge to the stage, looked at the players on the stage, but what Lin Mingfei said was floating around in her mind.

"Why did a team with such poor strength make it to the semi-finals?"

"Just by luck?"

"ZPL is hosted in the Americas this year. If the organizer doesn't have a team that can make it to the top three...even, if the organizer doesn't have a team that can make it to the quarterfinals, how embarrassing is that?"

"Let's not talk about how GD's air conditioner and water heater are broken. It's such a simple thing as changing the room. Why did the organizer delay GD for two days?"

"This is their home stadium, and the organizers have done things quietly and quietly in private, beyond your imagination."

Tao Tao took a deep breath, suppressing the doubts and resentment in her heart.

In addition to the three of them, the key to the lounge, and the organizer's staff have it.

Afraid of affecting the team's mood during the game, Tao Tao didn't tell the others about it, but only talked about her guess and Yi Ze.

But seeing Chu Lin's expression, he always felt that he should have guessed a lot.

Tao Tao applied to check the surveillance video of the day, but she didn't see anything.

Surveillance is obviously also passive.

In the end it was over.

Regardless, ruz still wins.

In the other semi-final, koz played against uw.

Koz lost 1:3 and sent uw to the finals.

In the game the day after tomorrow, ruz will face uw to compete for this year's world championship.

At the same time, the new keyboard God Rain used in the semi-finals has also become a hot topic among fans.

——Why on earth is the name "lin" engraved on the keyboard?
