China News Service, Beijing, March 22 (Reporter Wang Hao) In this spring when he actively pressed the "pause button", Qingrong ushered in the fourth anniversary of his debut in KPL. In the past four years, he has gained honors that are beyond the reach of most players, but he has also encountered setbacks on and off the court more than once.

Even if he fantasized boldly regardless of his current life trajectory, Qingrong still felt that he would become a professional player. He is satisfied with the victories he has achieved, and hopes to write his own wonderful story after this break.

"Let's settle, I hope I can calm down and make my career smoother in the future." Qingrong defined the decision to take a break in the spring game in this way, welcoming the fifth year of his career with a quiet attitude. This is his "thoughtful consideration" "the result of.
Qingrong's real name is Huang Yaoqin. Today, after winning 7 championships and 2 FMVPs in the Honor of Kings, he is actually only 20 years old. Qingrong has the characteristic cheerfulness of a young man. When asked if he felt uncomfortable with the sudden break, he laughed and said "no".
"I feel like I was too tired from Qingrong in the past few years." He seemed to say this easily, behind the scenes of almost round-the-clock competition and training for several consecutive years.
Compared with himself when he first debuted, Qingrong has changed a lot now. He is more confident and calm, and his eyebrows have become more mature, but his figure is still very thin. Staying healthy was an important reason why he decided to take a break in the spring season.
In sharp contrast to the triple crown in one year in 2022, Wuhan eStarPro's performance in 2023 was poor. Qingrong was in the middle and was under great pressure. He said that losing games all the time will definitely affect his confidence. Due to his personality, he is more used to resolving negative emotions by himself.

After thinking for a long time, Qingrong decided to press the "pause button" for himself. After no longer being busy with training and competitions, the pace of life has slowed down. Qingrong occasionally plays live games and watches Wuhan eStarPro teammates compete. It can be seen that he is in a state of relaxation that is rare after becoming a professional player.
Of course, this state also has a time limit. Qingrong said with a smile: "Don't be too relaxed. You have to play games in the future."

In Nanjing Hero Jiujing made his debut in the KPL as a jungler, moved to the mid lane position and won 2 FMVP honors, moved to Wuhan eStarPro and formed a legendary five-man team with his teammates to continue to win the championship - Qingrong chose to use "worth it" Let me summarize my experiences in the past four years. "I think it was worth it. Although it was a bit bumpy, I still won many championships in the end."
Objectively speaking, his performance in the past four years "deserves" all the praise and applause.
Besides honors, what Qingrong mentioned most was his teammates around him. "The most satisfying thing is that I met a group of good brothers. The most regrettable thing is that (the five-person group) couldn't have a perfect ending in the end."
Winning and losing are common in professional e-sports. Looking back on those days of poor performance, Qingrong still said firmly: "Everyone on the team is doing well."

This may be the consensus of the five-man Wuhan eStarPro championship team. Three of the five-man team stayed on the court this spring. They partnered with new teammates, and their results in the spring split were not good. But Qingrong said he was very confident that the team could adjust well because "my brothers have also experienced ups and downs."
At this time, Qingrong's tone sounded very "experienced", even though most of the other people his age had just started college life.
Qingrong describes himself as "a person who cannot spend his best years in school", and he seems to yearn for the life of ordinary young people. But speaking of the "what if" in life - what would you be doing now if you hadn't become a professional player? However, he said that in his fantasy, "if he is not playing professionally, he should be on the road to playing professionally."
hope
Suddenly being far away from the competition, Qingrong will of course feel "itchy" sometimes. As a spectator, he would lament that the feeling of watching the game from the sidelines is so different from playing on the field, and occasionally he would have the urge to return to the game. At this time, Qingrong would calm down and think about it. He felt that since resting was his own decision, he should "leave it to the brothers."

In the days when Qing Rong is missing from the KPL arena, the game version is changing and the strength of each team is changing, which will undoubtedly pose challenges for Qing Rong's return. Judging from past experience, the "temporary farewell" of professional players may lead to substantial ups and downs in status.
Of course, Qingrong had considered these variables and worried whether he would not be able to keep up with the pace of the game, but in the end he concluded that he had "confidence in himself."
Speaking of these, Qingrong exudes a temperament that is inconsistent with his age. Just like he has manipulated heroes to win countless times in the arena, his choices in his career have always been brave and firm. This is the key to his ability to continue to embrace victory, and it is also the reason why people have always maintained expectations for him.
Qingrong is also full of hope for his future. The near-perfect 2022 and the constant setbacks in 2023 made him experience perfection, and then his mentality was tested. Those difficult moments also gave him something to gain. "This is an experience all over again, which makes me regain my desire for the championship."
In addition to hoping to continue to advance in the professional arena in the future, Qingrong also has a further goal. "If possible, I definitely hope to represent the country in the competition. The Nagoya Asian Games, this is my biggest goal." (End)
