Chapter 551: The Uncrowned King
On March 28th, the second round-robin tournament in the Western Division was coming to an end, and after the regrettable loss to the BF team, the UF team still swept the major teams in the Western Region with an almost complete victory record after returning to the Western Division, and did not collapse because of the loss of BO3 for the first time in their careers.
At the end of the second round-robin, the UF team unsurprisingly met the EBF team again, and EBF also lost to the BF team when the previous Western Division and the Eastern Region crossed the game to play a single round-robin, and like the UF team, they won a game first, and then the BF team let the BF team chase two and lose the game.
However, no one was too surprised by this result, the existence of the funnel tactics in the previous version made the original struggling survival environment of the shooter no longer a problem, Coco Li himself is talented, and it is not too much of a problem to continue to dominate the LPL by taking advantage of the situation, but although BF is still standing, in fact, it is constantly facing challenges from newcomers from all walks of life.
Even with Coco Li in charge, the BF team is not an invincible existence among professional teams, otherwise the BF team would not have lost to the SS team in the S10 World Finals, maybe a long time ago, but now the status of the BF team is facing the threat of countless rising teams, even if it is as strong as Coco Li, it has to serve the old.
After all, the golden competition period of professional players is only ten years or even less, and for various reasons, players who have been buried and wasted a lot of time can be said to abound, and there are still very few players who really have talent, energy, dreams and capital to the end.
But despite this, esports is still attracting more and more attention every year, and countless young people are eager to devote most of their energy to it, which is a very small part of the overall audience of League of Legends, and for the existing professional teams and players, the existence of this group of people means a time bomb.
No one is irreplaceable, not even Coco Li.
————————————————
The match between the UF team and the EBF team was held in Chengdu, and this time the UF team, which had undergone nearly a month of intensive training, easily defeated the EBF team with a 2-0 result.
After all, the strength of the LPL has always been on par with the LCK division, although the BF team's 22 wins are more eye-catching, but because almost everyone is used to the strength of the BF team, there is little repercussion.
In contrast, the UF team was not famous and unloved before 2021, to be precise, it did not exist at all, after all, the vast majority of players would not pay attention to LDL, a sub-league below the LPL, after all, in front of the LPL where there are many masters, gods, geniuses, and monsters, you can only be a group of younger brothers who fight petty.
This year, no one will watch the women's team and the OB team as the former S5 champion, so before the UF team entered the LPL, there was no special attention, but no one would have imagined that the little-known team in the LDL had become a top team in the LPL in less than half a year, which was almost comparable to the BF team.
But yes, tiger hunting elk is no longer a normal thing, and it is staged almost every day, but it is really quite unbelievable that a snake can swallow an elephant, and it is almost an exaggeration to say that it is rare to see it for thousands of years, and the sudden rise of the UF team will naturally attract the attention of countless people.
The LPL region, which was already accustomed to the current situation as a whole, broke into the UF team and was such a real dragon, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of countless local snakes, the more people who shared the cake, the less share others could get, especially the UF team just squeezed into the LPL and defeated the old strong teams such as EBF, and even almost overturned the BF team, and it was really normal for everyone in the LPL to be in danger for a while.
The sensation caused by public opinion is undoubtedly huge, and it is really reasonable for someone to build momentum for the UF team behind the scenes, which is not to say that the promoters behind the scenes like the UF team, they may just want to get a piece of the pie, or maybe they just follow the wind from the mainstream to earn a wave of eyeball attention or traffic, this kind of person can be said to abound in the entire e-sports circle or other circles.
Only by following other people to say the same words can you be gregarious, you can find a sense of existence and chat capital, people's gossip heart never stops, less food and less water can be, but if you don't let people speak, sooner or later a lot of people will drive a lot of people crazy, the only pity is probably that people always like to say some never-ending and not yet renovated nonsense.
And once there are different words, do not cater to the mainstream public opinion, will naturally be besieged by those who have a heart, when everyone instills in your mind that obeying the public is right, once you can't bear the pressure brought by public opinion, you will naturally lose yourself, and because of others to deny yourself is undoubtedly ridiculous, even if you are not able to live a personal life, are you still qualified to manage others.
As the protagonist of the gradual heating up of the incident, the UF team did not make any statement, and is still silently doing regular training and preparation for the spring playoffs in the future.
If you care too much about what others think, you will only lose yourself.
Everyone in the UF team put all their energy on the game, and did not feel inflated by the praise brought by the victory, because in this way they would not feel autistic because of the scolding caused by defeat, after all, whether there are many good or bad people in this world may be a question that has not yet been decided, but stupid people are indeed more than smart people, and no one should deny this, the only thing that will be denied is probably that he is actually one of the vast majority of fools.
There are many people who can't shut up and talk well on the Internet, and there is really no need to listen to their nonsense and make some meaningless remarks, some people will feel stupid when they open their mouths, and even more so for people who talk a lot, silence is not unreasonable, at least as long as a person does not speak, others will not be able to spy on anything from his words.
Some people learn to speak less than a year after they are born, but they can't learn to speak well in their lifetime, and this is the status quo.
The stupidest remarks in the world are probably that the minority obeys the majority, so there will be a system of veto, allowing a very small number of elites to determine the future fate and direction of everyone, which is actually the smartest approach, but unfortunately there will still be people who can't understand, so there will be a ridiculous situation such as proposing to cancel the one-vote veto system but it was canceled, most people think it's a joke after reading it, but in fact, there are more unspeakable problems and shady scenes behind this problem.
Therefore, it is easier to be happy to live without heart or even stupidity, once people begin to learn to be smart, it is difficult to get happiness This emotion, a person has not seen the sun, even if he holds a candle, he can live very happily in the dark, but after seeing the great brilliance of the sun, the candle is not even a substitute, just a joke.
Therefore, when I was a child, my dreams will always feel very ridiculous when I look back on them later, everyone likes to laugh at others, but they like to laugh at themselves, the stupid and ignorant self in the past, and usually laugh and laugh like this and grow up slowly.
I don't know when I started to rejoice, but fortunately, people's lives are only once.
———————————————————
The UF team's publicity lasted for a whole week, but fortunately there was an even more eye-catching gimmick after that, otherwise it would not be easy for the UF team to get out as a talking point, after all, the UF team's performance in the spring game was really amazing, and now people are not so much touting the current UF team, but preparing for the trampling after the UF team loses ground.
And the reason why that eye-catching gimmick can overshadow the UF team naturally has its own special features, after the end of the regular season of the LPL Spring Tournament, before the playoffs officially began, the LDL OB team and the NR team in the first and second places played the game of relegation, and the two teams at the end of the sixteen LPL teams failed to relegate and were eliminated.
The reason for the turn in public opinion is naturally the news that the OB team and the NR team have successfully entered the LPL, and the OB team has naturally become a well-deserved and most popular professional team at that time after winning the first S series championship as S5 instead of the LPL region, and has even completely overshadowed the BF team.
So much so that after the inexplicable disbandment of the OB team, it also triggered countless people's speculation and interpretation, for a time it was said that the OB team was banned, and the members of its team went to South Korea to become Chinese aids, and its imagination is almost as rich as watching a palace fight drama with ups and downs of intrigue and twists and turns, but because there is really no basis and hard currency, the vast majority of these speculations are just the imagination and self-esteem of the masses.
Especially at the beginning, the statement of Chinese aid is even more nonsense, Hanbok is the only competition area in the whole world that has not invited any foreign aid players, and to be more precise, Hanbok is not only foreign aid from any other country in this division, but its foreign aid has been exported to all major regions around the world, so that there is a saying that LOL such a world game is about to become a Korean game.
Because there were Korean players in almost every strong team in every region at that time, people found that the team that could get a good ranking didn't care what the division was, anyway, there was basically no shortage of Korean players, and this was also the most terrifying enemy of Korean e-sports, that is, with its own excellent system, it could quickly create a large number of geniuses, so the talented players in South Korea's own division went batch after batch, but the overall level of its local professional teams did not decrease but increased.
Ability is greater than qualifications, this is probably the most cruel part of the Korean e-sports circle, you can't get out, naturally there is a better substitute to replace your original position, although it is not close to people, but it is not surprising that the e-sports geniuses that appear on the land of the small land can compete with other players from other countries in most of the world.
Even if the world champion is not in good shape, he will be called by the coach to watch the water cooler and sit on the cold bench, and he is not qualified to play at all, while the audience in the national uniform is still delusional that when a certain team has a poor record, they can rely on someone to come on the court to reverse the current situation.
Individual heroism, a sad and ridiculous existence, pinning all hope on one person, then it is also destined to create a tragic ending, and the BF team that has struggled to support it until now is not a living example.
The OB team has already caused a monstrous wave in the League of Legends circle when it made a comeback announcement last year, and when it really re-enters the threshold of the LPL now, it is even more impossible to ignore that the king of the army that once ruled the LPL has finally returned.
So far, more than half of the players in the LPL team have old acquaintances of the OB team, and the tragic past of being pressed to the ground by the OB team and rubbed hard has not been forgotten until now, and now after the OB team pays, the fear that stays in the memories and bones has returned to the body.
Everyone understands what the OB team is coming back for, the OB team, the full name is Observer, Chinese translated as observer, their return is to return to the top, as the uncrowned king of the LPL, even if the OB team has been silent for four years, no one dares to question its strong strength.
After all, this team once defeated a dynasty.
If it weren't for the S5 World Finals where the OB team defeated the original SS team, then the former SS would not have been defeated and scattered into mud, and even Li Yalin, a rising star in the mid-laner who is the absolute core of his team, would not have collapsed and disappeared directly into the e-sports circle.
And that year was also the darkest year in the LCK region as a whole, the team won the championship, everyone thought it was a joke, the strength of the STO team was sorry for the championship at all, the LCK was unconvinced and invited the BF team to participate in the Dragon and Tiger Cup, but as a result, he did a lot of small tricks but was still beaten like a son, and since that year the LCK has been autistic as a whole.
S4 World Finals SS made a strong debut and defeated the BF team and successfully raised his eyebrows for just a year, but after S5 let go of his arrogance, he was pressed to death by the OB team that was unknown before S5 before the end, and had to let a bunch of people beat their chests and sigh, and let another bunch of people sometimes put on a lamp and blow the sky.
