Of the 16 awards, the Chinese players won 11.

And the last two finale awards are all Chinese players.

In the final competition, Yu Xiao defeated Yin Xinxuan's 3 votes with 4 votes and became the CS princess in 2004.

When she came to the stage to accept the award, Yu Xiao cried silently, this honor is an affirmation of her efforts over the years, because she has never won a championship, the princess crown on her head is a recognition of her, and the guest who presented her laurel crown is the former good sister Irene.

In the selection of CS Prince, Lu Fei won the award with an absolute advantage of 8 votes, becoming the first player to enter the Hall of Fame at the Nordstrom Awards Ceremony.

Looking at the cheers and applause in the hall, Lu Fei's acceptance speech was so short that it was only two words: "Thank you!" ”

These are the only words that can express his feelings, and everyone present understands that this thank you is for all those who have accompanied him through the ups and downs.

***

On January 12, 2005, the K17 team announced its disbandment, Jim announced his retirement in front of many media, no longer participating in the CS professional competition, when the reporter asked him why he made such an extreme choice, Jim said that if Lu Fei retired, he would definitely consider a comeback, Jim's departure made countless C fans feel sorry, he is like a meteor in the dark night sky, after a flash in the pan, the world is left with eternal darkness, but what is left to C fans is unforgettable and amazing.

In February 2005, the third season of the China CCL Super League opened.

CHN is naturally the top seed, but this "CS Small World Cup" has ushered in an era of a hundred flowers.

The FF of the Dragon Teng Club has the twin signs of Yin Xinxuan and Lordaeron;

The Octopus Club has talented snipers Cogu and DaBears;

Brunk, head coach of Xi'an's Zhanfeng Club; Beijing's Lion's Roar Club, Dkt and Medion, served as technical directors;

NV has also completed the original accumulation of capital of players, and has the youngest and most outstanding potential players in China, such as TK, Jungle, 44, Sakula, and Mikk, forming a very strong lineup;

Shanghai giants 5E bought NoA's superstar fools and Nokion, and became a world-class team;

Merger, traditional superstars such as Laixi and 3# form a new generation of super lineups, aiming for the league championship;

Shenzhen FIYTA Club introduced Finnish superstar Digital, Guangzhou Meinianda Club introduced NoA superstar XeqtR, and Hong Kong Kimberly Club introduced American superstar fRoD......

Commercial transfers such as these abound, and China's CCL league is another form of CG that is driving the development of esports.

But the most sensational news of 2005 did not stop there.

The most explosive news is that on March 9, Swedish kings Potti and HeatoN joined the Chinese CCL League, and the Sichuan Chengdu Guoteng Club, which was established in January 2005, spent $2 million to buy the world's second-ranked Gemini constellation, and the official press conference announced that in the fourth season in May, Potti and HeatoN will participate in the league as captains and first-team players, and they will represent the Goldtel team of Guoteng Club, so far, SK Club announced the disbandment of the first-tier team, leaving ahl and span;

The second news is the follow-up of K17, after the disbandment of K17, on February 18, Yuan Zhengfeng, chairman of Shaanxi Xi'an Keyuan Electronics Group, announced an investment of 30 million yuan to establish Xi'an "Keyuan E-sports Club", the main team under his command is HK, captain Yu Xiao, the team members are Yuanye, Miller, Chu Jian, and the fifth person is the number one main gunner of the famous former American 3D team Kim, the manager and leader is Jackson Jenny, this lineup is completely comparable to the CHN lineup, It is also one of the teams with the highest call to win the championship;

Of course, Meiya's handwriting is the biggest, April 1st is April Fool's Day, Meiya's official homepage suddenly released news that NoA superstar Monkey (So) and Element joined, almost all Chinese people thought it was fake news, but after a few days of confirmation, Monkey and Element did join Meiya Club.

The first-line lineup of the United States and Asia is: Lu Fei, Duan Jiu, Lei Ming, Zhong Cheng, Ah K and substitute Han Bing; CHN. The lineup of BH's second-tier team is Element, Monkey, Xiaofei, Fangfang, Junwa and substitute Cat.

Meiya's lineup is even stronger, unprecedentedly strong, many C fans think that Meiya is creating a gimmick, but in fact, Element and Vesslan are already a master-apprentice relationship, and Monkey and Lu Fei are old partners.

However, Lu Fei has rarely played in the league, and he has left the opportunity to newcomers like Han Bing and Ah K as much as possible, and more often he and Vesslan are behind the scenes as technical and tactical guidance.

In 2005, the third season of CCL broke out a big upset, Potti and HeatoN led Guoteng Goldtel directly won the S-level third place, Longteng Club's FF won the third place, the two teams destroyed many masters and strong teams, and the biggest dark horse was actually CHN.BH, and the CHN.BH captained by Element actually defeated the first-line CHN of the United States and Asia in the final championship and runner-up battle to win the championship.

However, this game is a great joy for C fans who like Meiya, on the one hand, Meiya's rising star has indeed grown, CHN. Although BH has the unique tactics brought by Element, the most eye-catching ones are Xiaofei and Fangfang, and Zhu Zong exclaimed that these two will be Meiya's "Lu Duan II" in the future; On the other hand, Lu Fei did not play in this game from beginning to end, allowing Han Bing and Ah K to play three pictures, leaving the opportunity to them.

In the hearts of C fans, Lu Fei will always be immortal, undefeated, and at the same time great and tolerant, many fans only understood Lu Fei's heart at this time, he did not hope that he could realize his dream, but hoped that Chinese CS would stand tall at the top of the world's CS, and he changed the history of CS with his own strength, or with the help of the power of Meiya.

Civil war is always a training exercise, and the world stage is the real vast world.

In July 2005, the third-tier team of the United States and Asia, Les Seules and Ne4MM, merged and changed their name to BeautifulAsiaMM (Beautiful Asia), while staying in China to compete, and the first-tier team of the United States and Asia competed in the 2005 American summer CPL, and won the world championship with little effort; The second-tier CHN.BH played in the French ESC, this time with the help of Element and Monkey, CHN.BH defeated Nv in the championship and runner-up battle to win the world championship, which is also a precedent in history for a club to win two world championships at the same time.

In October 2005, at the EG World Finals held at the Shougang Stadium in Beijing, Nv finally won its first world championship, which was the second Chinese team to reach the top after CHN.

At the same time, the CG World Finals held in Singapore was even more magnificent, and the Chinese team won 5 invitation places. BH, Nv, AS, and Hacker traveled to Singapore together.

After a week of competition, the Chinese team dominated the rankings:

The third runner-up Nv, the runner-up CHN.BH, the champion CHN, CHN has won the CG championship for three consecutive years, Lu Fei is already the absolute first person in the CG Hall of Fame, and no one can surpass him in any project.

However, in this CG, fans noticed that Lu Fei seemed to be a little tired, and his reaction speed had decreased to a certain extent compared to the past, on the contrary, this year, Duan Jiu seemed to be more representative of CHN.

C fans have different statements, some people speculate that Lu Fei's feelings are frustrated, because Lu Fei's emotional problems have always been a huge mystery to the outside world, and the United States and Asia officials pay special attention to protecting Lu Fei's ** in this regard, and will never leak it; Some people also said that Lu Fei had long been red and purple, and too many commercial activities made him neglect training; But the most recognized statement by fans is that the day of Lu Fei's retirement is not far off, because he is now about to enter the age of 26, which is an absolute old man in the e-sports circle.

But no matter what, it is an ironclad fact that Chinese CS flowers are in full bloom, and all Chinese C fans have been in happiness for the past two years.

In December 2005, after almost a year of silence, HK regained its power, and the HK team led by Yu Xiao swept 3D, coL, MYM and other European and American powers in the 5th ACON World Series, and defeated the most unbeatable Korean super team Project and CHN.BH of the year, and ascended to the throne of the world champion.

After Nv, the third Chinese team won this award.

Basically no one in the Western world dares to argue with the Chinese team, the past history has long passed, and the Western world regards the Chinese as the Eastern powers.

But the most exciting news came on December 28, 2005, after the unremitting efforts of ***, Lu Fei, and Mr. Ted Oen, President of the World Game Federation, the 124th meeting of the International Olympic Committee decided that in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, e-sports will be one of the Olympic sports, including Counter-Strike and StarCraft, a total of two gold medals.

The official explanation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is that the two sports of Counter-Strike and StarCraft have been widely practiced among men in 175 countries and regions in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as women in 72 countries and regions in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and more than 1.89 billion people in the world love these two sports, and these standards have fully met the Olympic program, or even greatly exceeded them.

When the news reached China, the whole country celebrated, and people understood what Lu Fei had done this year, and he and *** were working together for CS.

However, Lu Fei looked very regretful, because he was destined not to represent the Chinese national team in the Olympic Games in 7 years.

"What am I supposed to be doing at that time?" Lu Fei looked a little confused.

"You should be on a holiday with your favorite person, and maybe Monaco is a good place to go with her." Chris said.

Lu Fei smiled: "Maybe yes, maybe I should go and see what she is doing at the moment." ”

Chris laughed, "If you have to send me." ”

Lu Fei said: "Of course! ”
