E-sports Association Division, Shanghai, China.

Fang Hao, who was sitting in the president's office, held the phone, talking to Chu Fangnan on the other end of the phone, and looked out the window with his eyes.

The night is vast, with occasional stars flickering and flickering.

The president of the China Shanghai E-sports Association couldn't help but be moved, and there was a sigh and emotion that time had passed and the vicissitudes of life had passed.

back then.

back then.

Four years ago, he transferred from Dota to the professional e-sports field in charge of the national server League of Legends, at that time, the national server Dota professional circle has achieved unprecedented glory, even if those gods retired and left, but still established their national server Dota professional circle in the world.

At that time, League of Legends was just a MOBA e-sports game that was just emerging.

At that time, he was the vice president of the branch of the Shanghai E-sports Association, and when he was just assigned to be in charge of LOL, many people in the association were not optimistic about the new field he was responsible for.

But he threw himself in and got to work.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, at the beginning of the progress of the work, he encountered too many difficulties and resistance, and the domestic LOL professional e-sports was almost a blank, and even the offline formal professional events could not be well developed.

Venue, Sponsorship, People, Equipment......

And so on and so forth, all of them are problems.

But fortunately, at that time, a small group of professional players in the national server had the same sincere enthusiasm for this emerging game as him, and they continued to work hard in such a difficult era and in such a difficult environment, and made results and achievements little by little.

That's why there was a team like that in the World Finals, and they became one of the only two teams in the Asian region, and flew to London, England to participate in the finals of the S1 season.

……

"At that time...... When I heard the news that our team had qualified for the finals, it would not be an exaggeration to say that I was 'overjoyed'—"

Chu Fangnan couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Hao laughed:

"Yes, it's really not easy, hard work pays off, and it's always worth being excited and happy."

But at that time...... Even if their team made it to the finals, it wasn't all smooth sailing.

Because Fang Hao also clearly remembers how strict the dispute was on the part of the World E-sports Association because of such a problem.

In my memory, those scenes and the voices of those angry and passionate disputes still seem to be close in front of me and echo in my ears:

"I am the vice president of the Chinese E-sports Association! The age of Maple was reported in our LPL league at the time and kept as a special case, and we had already reported this matter to the World Esports Association earlier! ”

"You have to give an explanation for today's matter!"

"If we don't give a result today, none of us will get out of the door here!"

The picture in his memory flashed through his mind like a marquee, and Fang Hao couldn't help but smile slightly.

The excitement of the year.

The outspokenness of the year was competitive.

He even slapped the table angrily at the bigwigs of the headquarters of the World Esports Association in the headquarters office of the World Esports Association.

The thrilling time has become a memory worth remembering now.

And the team that they had high hopes for did not live up to their hopes and fought all the way to the end.

It's a pity......

It was one step away from the championship of that S1 season.

Thinking of this, Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and there was also regret and regret in his heart.

The team of that year, the five young players, each of them was absolutely talented, and the strength they possessed was definitely qualified to compete for the final championship trophy, but it was just a little bit of luck that they would lose in the end.

And now, three of the five have left, and although the remaining two are still struggling in the professional circle, only one fat man Tian Tian has made achievements and has become the first "round god" in the national uniform.

……

In fact, in Fang Hao's opinion, the most talented person back then was definitely not a fat man.

Even in this year's finals, Ueda Tian has already played such a stunning performance in the world, and among the five members of the team that year, his talent and potential can only be ranked in the top three.

The second is their ADC.

The first is the 15-year-old genius mid-laner boy who was at the center of the dispute back then.

maple。

"If those people back then are still working hard in the professional e-sports circle, the current professional player lineup of the national service will be at least twice as strong——"

Chu Fangnan couldn't help but sigh like this.

Fang Hao nodded slightly:

"Perhaps, even among the Seven Kings and the Four Emperors, there should be one or two more national uniforms."

Saying that, Fang Hao couldn't help but sigh again.

The defeat in the finals that year may have been too heavy a blow for the young maple, and such a cruel reality made it difficult for the talented mid-laner teenager to face and accept, so he left the professional e-sports arena so early.

Otherwise......

With the strength that Maple was able to defeat Phoenix head-on, and now the head of the Four Emperors can fight head-on without losing the slightest advantage-

Today's four emperors of e-sports must have a place for him.

Thinking back to reality, Fang Hao shook his head and asked casually:

"Are you going to finish the game in a minute?"

"A lot of people should have to wait to go home to watch the live broadcast of tonight's KG vs. SSK game, it shouldn't be delayed, right?"

Chu Fangnan nodded: "Well, just now the first group is the Thirteenth High School West Middle School, which has ended, and now the second group is already going on, and it should be the top four of the Shanghai Foreign High School." ”

"Attached to the middle school? Last year's runner-up team, right? Fang Hao raised his eyebrows, but his attention was somewhat attracted by the other group of teams mentioned by Chu Fangnan: "However, the Thirteenth High Team is a new team this year?" I don't think I had any impression of last year—"

……

In the competition venue of the Shanghai Sixteen School League, the second group of quarterfinals on the stage will soon come to an end.

Because the strength of the upper and outer affiliated middle schools is indeed too strong.

It is worthy of last year's runner-up team, both in terms of overall strength and tactical execution, completely crushed the opponent, coupled with that kind of fierce style of play, the first game only took 25 minutes to win the victory.

At this moment, the second ongoing game was also in the early tens, and the situation on the field had already fallen into the control of the purple legion of the Shangwai Affiliated Middle School team.

Under the stage, everyone in the 13 high e-sports club team in the front row of players and guests looked solemn and solemn.

They all felt a lot of pressure.

Attached to the middle ......

It's stronger than last year.

In other words, the strength of last year's e-sports club team was too weak, and they were directly crushed and defeated without feeling the real horror of the opponent; And now the thirteen high team has made significant progress and improvement, and they have really begun to feel the terrifying strength of this last year's runner-up team.

"Can you really win-"

Liu Yue couldn't help but mutter.

Shen Ze and Wei Dong were also silent and did not speak.

Even Ouyang kept his mouth shut.

Lin Feng looked at the ob screen on the screen on the stage with an extremely serious and attentive expression, and made a serious judgment for a long time:

"This team ......"

"Very strong!"

"But-" As he spoke, Lin Feng suddenly changed his words, and his tone was full of resolute and decisive battle intent: "We still have to win!" ”

In the background at this time, Chu Fangnan had just hung up the phone.

Just as he was about to take a break, a staff member of an e-sports association walked over quickly and handed a document to Chu Fangnan:

"Brother Chu, this is the information of the top eight teams this time."

"The information of the members of the Thirteenth High Team you want should also be in it."

"Okay, good work." Chu Fangnan smiled and nodded to his subordinates, and then after the subordinate staff turned to leave, he lowered his head and began to look through the team information in his hand.

Soon, he turned to the page of the Thirteenth High Clan.

Then, his gaze casually swept over the page.

And when he swept over a certain line of text......

As if he had seen something, Chu Fangnan's face suddenly showed an unbelievable look of shock-

(This-this!?) ）
