An Internet café in Shanghai, China, hosts a League of Legends tournament from two different amateur teams. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is already the final.

From the 16 amateur teams of the Internet café the morning before yesterday to the competition of the two strongest teams left today, both sides tried their best and sweated.

The game has reached its fifth game.

The two sides played the final game with a 2:2 situation.

The winner of the match will receive a $5,000 bonus, while the loser will receive $2,500.

On the platform of the Internet café, a bearded, unkempt man had a cigarette in his mouth, and the cigarette had burned to the end.

He exhaled a puff of smoke rings.

Removed the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth and threw it into the ashtray with tap water on the bottom.

"Old rascal." A crisp voice rang out from the staircase at the entrance of the Internet café.

"2006, why are you here?" Su Yang frowned, he touched his whole body and found a cigarette case, but he found that there seemed to be no smoke in the cigarette case.

"The Internet café owner's life is not bad! Old rascals? ”

The young man who spoke, with bangs, delicate facial features, fair skin, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, his words were like a spring breeze, and he was dressed in casual casual clothes, he walked to the bar and said with a smile.

"It's okay." Su Yang, who was called the old rascal, replied.

At this time, a person stood up, as if he was about to get off the plane, he walked to the bar, and when he saw 2006, his expression was a little surprised.

As he got off the plane, he wanted to stop talking, as if he was doing a big psychological struggle in his heart, and after a while, he asked timidly, "Are you the 2006 of the Ehome team?" ”

"Can I ask you for an autograph?"

A hint of gloom flashed in Su Yang's eyes, and he was a little unwilling in his heart, but he was soon relieved that the e-sports industry was no longer suitable for an old man like him.

The right hand trembled slightly.

What's more, his own injury has developed to this stage.

Su Yang pointed to 2006 and said with a smile: "He is 2006, the main mid-laner of the Ehome team, it's me!" If you want to go further, for example, if you want to take a group photo, remember to pay another 50 yuan to the owner of the Internet café, well, introduce yourself, I am his agent. ”

2006 was a little laughable.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm 2006, I want to sign it, right?" I didn't bring a pen with me when I went out here. ”

Su Yang glanced at it, knocked on his bar, he took out a pen, pretended to have a deep expression, and the young man who got off the plane hurriedly said, "Boss, I bought this pen for ten yuan." ”

"6 God, sign it for me..."The young man rummaged around, ripped off his coat to reveal the white T-shirt inside, he pointed to a piece of range and said, "It's right here." ”

2006 rolled his eyes at Su Yang.

He squatted down and signed a beautiful name for the young man, 2006-Wu Sheng.

"yooooooo-" Su Yang shrugged his shoulders and beat the beat, "Young man, is a signature really satisfied?" You get up close and personal with your idol, and you have to take a group photo to say the least, right? ”

"Enough!" Wu Shengqing burst out, "Old rascal! I'm here to talk to you about things, don't give me any extraneous branches, you have an office here, right? Let's go in and talk. ”

He subconsciously looked at the rest of the Internet café.

Fortunately, people didn't get together.

Su Yang waved his hand, and Wu Sheng followed him into a small room next to the bar, and by the way, Su Yang took a pack of unopened Liqun from the top of the Internet café bar.

"What's the matter?" Su Yang asked.

"Do you still want to play?" Wu Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Winner has spent some effort here to help you get a few team trial opportunities. ”

"Wasn't I banned?" Su Yang was stunned, "Besides, which team still needs a professional player who hasn't played for three years." ”

He smiled at this.

"After all, garbage on the order ruined his e-sports dream."

Su Yang laughed at himself.

Wu Sheng was silent, in fact, he was the one in the know, Su Yang didn't have any fault in that matter, the real fault was those damn management.

Affectionate, and only knows how to make money.

"Perhaps, if you participated in more business activities, the relationship would not have been so stiff." Wu Sheng said, taking out a few pieces of A4 paper from his right hand backpack.

"Winner, that guy is very good, and he got you a couple of tryouts for foreign teams."

"This is the Scottish league's Unyielding-Gaming, and the name of the team means unyielding, and you can call them unyielding." Wu Sheng took out several lists and said, "If you still want to play professionally, you can consider going to these teams." ”

"If you had told us earlier about how you were hidden, it wouldn't have been so much trouble to find you an owner now."

When Su Yang heard this, he shook his head: "The contract is in their hands, I can't get out if I don't terminate the contract, it's easy for them to kill my career." ”

He debuted in the S1 season, became famous in the S2 season, and was active until the S3 season, and then the S4 season was hidden, and he did not play in the S4, S5, and S6 seasons, and he has just terminated his contract until now.

A professional player who hasn't played a normal game for three years, hasn't run in with the team for three years, and has been playing Rank in the basement for three years without formal training or even exposure to the tactics of the TWG team, no one wants to ask for it in China.

Because, he has no value.

That's all.

If he had access to the tactics of the TWG team, there might be teams willing to risk the limelight to accept him as a player, but Su Yang had no value at all.

The worst part is that in order to terminate the contract, Su Yang handed over everything he had, such as his ID, his professional certificate, and even the jersey of the TWG team.

He didn't even have commercial value.

Is anyone still willing to ask for him?

"I have to say, the situation is very complicated now, the TWG team doesn't know if the brain is pumping or what's wrong, the strength to block you is too great, your S1~S3 game records, all the pictures about you have been deleted."

"New players to the league don't even know your name."

Wu Sheng said distressedly: "And your ID, Weibo and match uniform accounts, as well as the Hanbok account and even the professional certificate given to you by Riot Company, have all been recovered." ”

"When Winner helped you submit your resume to these teams, I didn't know how to write it."

"The fear of the past is dead." Su Yang recalled those things, and he was still a little angry and unwilling in his heart, "When I signed the contract back then, I trusted my agent and manager too much. ”

"Having said that, I brought these things to Winner, if you still want to play professionally, or even want to retire, you can try to play in the Scottish league." Wu Sheng handed these materials to Su Yang heavily.

Su Yang knew.

This information is heavy, and the pressure to help a person who has been banned to find a team again is undoubtedly huge.

However, he didn't know if he was going to go back to the professional path.

Now in the S7 season, and he is 28 years old.

An old boy's esports dream?

"Thank you." Su Yang said solemnly: "But... I don't want to play professionally anymore. ”

Wu Sheng bit his lip slightly, he is not a person who likes to comfort others, this is called nosy, but he really doesn't want to see a super ancient player, and the player who was once a god in the ancient period ended up like this.

He wanted to speak.

But I can't get to the bottom of it.

"Fear, please give me one last chance to see your Raven again."

Su Yang was dumbfounded.

The cigarette he was holding from the bar was pinched by his right hand, and Liqun's shell, which should have been hard, was pinched a little deformed by him.

He faltered.

There are no words, which can move him more than Wu Sheng's words.
