Chapter 24 Competition Reform

"What did you call yesterday?"

After the party last night, Fang Ying called Mu Lingfeng back, but it showed that the phone was turned off, and WeChat could not be found.

So early the next morning, Fang Ying dialed Mu Lingfeng again, and waited for a while before connecting.

"Why did you call so early?" Mu Lingfeng obviously hadn't woken up yet, and his words were slurred.

"You turned off your phone when you called you back last night, so I had to call you in the morning." Fang Ying asked.

"I took my sister out to play last night and my phone ran out of battery. I didn't go home until the middle of the night. ”

"Are you that crazy?" Fang Ying said with a smile.

"I'm so lazy, how can I play outside until that time." Mu Lingfeng said angrily: "It's my sister, she rarely goes out to play." ”

"That must be your usual unqualified brother."

"By the way, there was business last night." Mu Lingfeng didn't continue the topic, and his voice became a little clearer: "There is something bad or bad about your competition. ”

"You're still playing dumb riddles, say!" Fang Ying wondered.

"Anyway, I'm also lol's senior, can you kid be more respectful to me, a senior." Mu Lingfeng said unhappily.

"Why didn't you mention that you were still a senior when you were playing tricks on me." Fang Ying said uncontrollably.

"It's just that this year's round of 16 has started to reform the competition, and each team is allowed to have a maximum of 2 foreign players who are not students of our school, and foreigners are also allowed. As with the current rules of the professional league, foreign players must not be professional players. ”

Since the LPL's defeat in the World Championship starting in S3, the Korean LCK division seems to have completely dominated the game, and the LPL and even the minor league LSPL have set off a wave of Korean aid in the past two years. The league has set rules for this, and a team has to play more than two Korean players at the same time. As a result, many teams are now 3+2 combinations of Chinese and Koreans.

"Really?" Fang Ying asked in surprise.

"What are you lying to?" Mu Lingfeng said angrily: "There was a party at noon yesterday, and one of them was in charge of the college league, and he talked about it. It's mainly for students, and just because there are a lot of students who play in college leagues doesn't mean they want to play professionally too. So a lot of people can't do high-intensity training, which leads to poor performance of the whole team. This will also bury other players on the team who want to play professionally. In order to better supply these young blood to the official league, the foreign aid system proposed for this reason will be trialed from the round of 16. ”

"It's settled. Many competition areas have been notified, and even foreign aid from Jiaotong University has joined the team for training. ”

"That's a good thing." Fang Ying smiled bitterly: "Where can I find any foreign aid, the level of the team is very insufficient, and the school still doesn't support it, even if there is foreign aid, there is no money to ask for it." ”

"Actually, you can look for Brother Yu, didn't you two promise to play professionally together before? Anyway, he's idle now. Mu Lingfeng said indifferently.

"Get out, let Brother Yu play in the college league, and you can figure it out." Fang Ying scolded without hesitation.

"I was kind enough to help you, but you still scolded me and continued to sleep." Mu Lingfeng hung up the phone directly.

Zhang Yu......

Fang Ying held his phone and muttered, his thoughts had flown to two years ago.

"Shadow, don't you think you need a solid teammate for your sharp style of play?" One afternoon, after Zhang Yu in the training room had a perfect mid-to-upper 2 to 4 with Fang Ying in a double row, Zhang Yu smiled and said to the latter who was connected to the microphone in the headphones.

"Yes, Brother Yu, if I really play professionally, you are the most reliable teammate I can think of." The young man echoed with a smile.

"Don't think about it so much, I trust you." Zhang Yu comforted: "I heard that your school's team has been formed, if you need a few of us to help, just mention it." ”

"No, no, no, it's important that you still play well in the World Championship, you have to believe me, I'm okay with a college league." Fang Ying hurriedly said, for fear that this person who was also a brother and friend would be distracted by this.

"Yes, of course we believe you." Zhang Yu chuckled: "On the contrary, we still want to bother you, and the most important thing is that you will have to fly back and forth to South Korea at your own expense." ”

"Brother Yu, you will see you when you say this, and I am also grateful that you believe in me and have been with me for more than half a year."

......

The scene in my mind is vivid, and everything seems to be yesterday.

Two years ago, S3 officially established LOL's official professional league LPL in China, which, like other regions, is divided into spring and summer every year. The winner of the Summer Playoffs will advance to the Top 8 at the S3 World Finals in October, while the runners-up will need to compete in the group stage of the Finals to compete for the other Top 8 spots.

And the CG team that Zhang Yu and Mu Lingfeng were in at that time was the runner-up winner of the LPL Summer Tournament.

At that time, the domestic e-sports environment was just starting, the base was very broken, and even the competition venue was not very perfect, not to mention the number of teams and the internal team system, and it was difficult to make an appointment with opponents in training matches. After the finals, the coach and analyst of the CG team temporarily resigned due to family matters, resulting in the CG team not being able to find a suitable person to fill in in a short period of time.

This brings us to Fang Ying. Fang Ying and Mu Lingfeng had known each other for many years in war3, and then switched to LOL together, but Fang Ying was delayed playing professionally with Mu Lingfeng because of some things, and Mu Lingfeng entered the CG team at the beginning of S3.

Because Fang Ying is really talented in LOL, after Mu Lingfeng's introduction to the players, Fang Ying quickly got along with CG everyone, and even made a cameo appearance as a temporary CG partner on the Internet many times.

Among them, the best friendship was the single Zhang Yu player on the CG at that time, but to be precise, although Zhang Yu has a delicate appearance, his calm and easy-going temperament makes him the big brother that no one in the team is dissatisfied with, and after he inadvertently learns about some of Fang Ying's situation, he often appeases and persuades Fang Ying.

Therefore, Fang Ying's relationship with him is also the best except for Mu Lingfeng's old acquaintance.

After the resignation of the coach, the club couldn't come up with the money to hire a new coach for a while, not to mention that even if it did, it might not be good in a short time. So everyone thought of Fang Ying and asked him to help temporarily serve as a small coach during the finals, but because Fang Ying was just a freshman at the time, and his college league game was also playing, if this was the case, he needed to go back and forth between the two places every week.

The finals are held in South Korea, and the round-trip air tickets several times a week are a sky-high expense, and the club is simply unwilling to pay and cannot afford the meager salaries of the original coaches and players. But Fang Ying was willing to pay out of his own pocket to settle this matter.

Later, everyone worked together to stumble into the finals, but Fang Ying had an accident on the night when the team first entered the finals and was absent.

At that time, the team in the finals was the Korean rookie dark horse T1 team. However, in all fairness, in the first year of the LPL's establishment, when everything on and off the field was completely inferior to other regions, the two LPL teams were able to pass five levels and kill six players, beat the defending champion ASS, beat the old Europe and the United States, one regretted the semi-finals, and the other advanced to the finals, which is already the best situation unimaginable in a dream. And T1, both in terms of individual strength and the strength of the tactical system, makes others uncertain about victory. What's more, the CG at that time really knew that Fang Ying had encountered a car accident on the way back to school from the airport after returning to China in a hurry on the night of the semi-finals, and he didn't blame him in the slightest except for apology and distress.

Later, Fang Ying went to London for treatment, and the CG team's performance after returning to China deteriorated, Zhang Yu and Zhonglan were sent to the North American region by the boss, and the jungler and auxiliary players retired, Mu Lingfeng already had a very high popularity in China, and after returning to other teams, he slowly reached the position of one of the oldest living fossils in China.

In S4 the second year, Zhang Yu led the team formed by his boss in North America to reach the World Finals again, but he did not qualify for the group stage and chose to retire in frustration.

When Zhang Yu flew to North America, he came to London to visit Fang Ying, and later on vacation, he came to visit Fang Ying again. The last time they met was when Zhang Yu returned to China in despair, and Fang Ying still remembered how lost Zhang Yu was at that time.

"You Brother Yu and I can't do it, I can't win the championship and I can't make a lot of money, this is the last time I can have the opportunity to come here to see you." Zhang Yu pretended to be brisk and said: "You recuperate well, and when you get better, you will return to China to find me, and Brother Yu will invite you to dinner." ”

Time flies.

After Zhang Yu returned to China, he followed the rise of the live broadcast industry and became a small anchor, fortunately, with his character and strength and the identity of the runner-up player with the highest score in the domestic S competition, he still has a group of fans, but he never advertises and does not earn much money from fans, not to mention rich, but he has also accumulated a lot of popularity, which is much better than the lack of interest of most retired players.

It seems that after knowing that Fang Ying's condition has stabilized too much with his high-intensity live broadcast and usual chatting, he is relieved and has a lot less contact.

And Zhang Yu is also the most suitable candidate for training Zhuang Meng in Fang Ying's heart! It's just that I didn't think it was time to bother him before. But now I heard Mu Lingfeng say this......

It's okay to contact feelings, but it's okay to trouble people. Since Zhang Yu is also in Shanghai, it is better to wait until the end of March next year when the round of 16 starts face-to-face in Shanghai!

But the practice of Jin Yong, another top order, cannot be put down, and Zero's favor must be used to the fullest.

Thinking of this, Fang Ying opened his laptop to log in to the European server, and after confirming the matter of solo with Zero, who happened to be online, and in order to hide his "y" ID in front of everyone in the team, he deliberately asked Zero to add a European server trumpet.

After doing all this, I edited a message in the WeChat group of the dead team.

"Everyone will gather in the club in an hour, especially Dayong must come! There are two big things to command. ”

Then looked at Song Yuke, who was sleeping like a dead pig on the bed, he called a group of fat people to drink from more than 6 o'clock to more than 9 o'clock in the evening when he was eating last night, and when he came back, he began to sleep, and he slept for 12 hours and didn't wake up.

After spending so much money on Lao Tzu, Fang Ying thought of it angrily, and then slapped him on the sleeping face.

If Song Yuke was sober at this time, would he think, why is this slap so familiar?
