"Is this a deliberate attempt to suppress Asian powers?"

"Could it be related to the disclosure of the videotape in China's "E-sports Era" some time ago? Chairman Solon ...... Is it to exclude dissidents? ”

"After all, Europe is the center of gravity of the World Demon Federation, so naturally it should be taken care of."

"Yes, after all, Asia is the king of the last generation of FREE, and TopOne has only won WEG once, and it is far from a real superstar!"

In this case, the competition for places in Asia will be quite fierce, in addition to FREE and TopOne, there are also Korean ghost king KIT, former ESWC champion AKL, China's Liu Fei, Zhang Xiaotian and NO.0, so many top players, only 2 places have been given...... It seems that before entering Madrid, Asia may have been almost exhausted! ”

The reporters whispered, the conversation became more and more enthusiastic, but still no one dared to ask questions. At this time, Zoro patted the microphone, and when everyone stopped talking, he said slowly: "I announce that this press conference of the World Demon Federation has come to an end......"

"Wait!" , Suddenly a loud shout interrupted Sauron, only to see a large group of people suddenly pouring into the door of the hall, including reporters from all walks of life carrying long guns and short cannons, and the leader was the FF team led by Xiao Xin!

Xiao Xin took the lead in walking to the rostrum, and said loudly to Zoro who was sitting on the stage: "We protest!" The WW Qualifiers are unfair! Please revise the qualifying quota of the World Demon Federation! ”

The sudden upheaval made everyone stunned, and the huge press conference hall suddenly fell silent, and people looked at Xiao Xin in amazement. How many years have it been, and this is the first person to dare to challenge Sauron's authority head-on!

Zoro glared at Xiao Xin with a grim face. With fire almost bursting into his eyes, he asked word by word, "What did you say?" ”。

Xiao Xin ignored Sauron. Instead, he turned to face all the reporters, "I have a friend, his name is Ringer, and he knows some stories about Chairman Sauron, I think everyone must be interested in hearing them!" ”。

As soon as Xiao Xin's words fell, Zoro had already shouted coldly: "This is the official press conference of the World Demon Federation!" You will not be allowed to make trouble at will! Get them out! The last sentence was said to a group of security guards who rushed in.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Zoro's face, of course he knew who Ringer was, and he knew every situation of the "secret nails" planted around the world. He knows everything well, this guy named Ringer has been missing for a while, but he didn't expect to be dug up by TopOne, although it is impossible for such a small character to have too much key information, but it will also cause a lot of trouble for him to speak in public at the press conference. At this time, Sauron had made up his mind to eradicate all troubles, this Ringer, for the ultimate great goal. Even TopOne can no longer be in the public eye! In Europe, although Sauron's power is not yet great enough to decide the life and death of people at will, it is not too difficult to make a person disappear for a while.

"Wait!". Xiao Xin, who had been observing Zolon's expression, felt a pang in his heart, he knew that now was the most critical step in the plan, and took a deep breath. Xiao Xin walked up to Zoro and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Ringer is gone. He will go and live his life and never show up again. Mr. President. We don't want a dead fish, but a fair chance. Also, I know enough about Miss O, Mr. LY, and the underground arena, and the 'Secret Spike'! ”。

Hearing this, Zoro stared at Xiao Xin fiercely, and the ruthlessness in his eyes was ready to come out!

Xiao Xin didn't seem to be aware of it, and still said in a low voice: "I believe that you can deal with Ringer, and there is a way to make me unable to speak, but please take a look, these reporters I brought, they have already heard Ringer's story, so many people, I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with, right?" ”

"Humph! Young man, don't get complacent too soon! Zoro snorted coldly, glanced at the reporter who came forward to listen to the conversation between the two in front of Xiao Xin, waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to isolate the reporters, and then whispered: "You have no evidence at all!" ”。

"That's right! You're right, we have no evidence", Xiao Xin's face was calm, "But that's not our purpose, I've already said it, we just want a fair chance, I don't care about other things!" Keeping the Warcraft world as it is is not a bad thing for you, for me, and for the industry as a whole, right? ”

Zoro looked at Xiao Xin with some surprise, since the failure to win him over in South Korea, Sauron has seen that Xiao Xin is by no means a person who is easy to compromise, and then Zhang Xiaotian's videotape incident, the two sides can be said to have completely stood on opposite sides. Today, in the face of the thunderous momentum of all FF members, Zoro had to make up his mind to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but he didn't expect Xiao Xin to suddenly show the intention of peace, which made Zoro feel a little unable to see through the young man in front of him for the first time.

"What exactly do you want?" , Zoro asked in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid this isn't the place to talk, is it?" , Xiao Xin smiled and looked back at the emotionally charged reporters in the hall, and at the same time his hand took the opportunity to wipe it vigorously on his pants, quietly wiping away the cold sweat in the palm of his hand. Zolon's eyes stared at Xiao Xin for a moment, as if he wanted to see his true thoughts, Xiao Xin was still smiling faintly, but his heart couldn't help but thump......

Two days ago, after persuading Ringer to become a "tainted witness", Xiao Xin, Zhang Xiaotian, Qizai and Lan Rui took Ringer to Madrid to meet Chen Ling, Xu Yan and Ah Ming.

The first step was to hold a press conference at the same time as the World Magic Federation, and let Ringer disclose the shady curtain of the "secret nail" at the press conference.

The second step is to lead the reporters to break into the press conference of the World Demon Federation, and pretend to let Ringer directly disclose the shady scene at the meeting, the purpose is to make Sauron feel a real threat, only in this way, FF will have enough capital to negotiate terms with Sauron, otherwise, with the strength of a mere team. How can you compete with the World Demon Federation? But it's also the riskiest step, if you don't control the development of the good thing. Overstimulated Sauron, forcing him to be ruthless. Then FF may also find it difficult to gain a foothold in the Warcraft world, only for Zoro to feel the threat at the same time, but also feel that the situation is still controllable, and this is the most difficult part of the whole plan.

Now, this most critical step has really reached the most critical moment, Xiao Xin has done everything that needs to be done, and at this time, the decision is in the hands of Sauron.

Zoro stared at Xiao Xin tightly for a long time. When Xiao Xin felt that his face that had been maintaining a calm smile was about to stiffen, Zoro finally spoke:

"Well, I think we need to talk about it separately."

Xiao Xin let out a sigh of relief, still with a faint smile on his face, as he walked to the backstage with Zolon.

"What's going on?"

"Chairman Sauron! TopOne？ ”

"How did you go? That's the end of the press conference? ”

"What about the shady scenes? TopOne！ ”

Seeing the two protagonists leave like this, the reporters stopped doing it and made an uproar, but Zoro didn't pay attention to them, and still led Xiao Xin to the backstage room.

"Alas! These guys are pretty pathetic, too. I don't know if we used it", Qizai whispered to Lan Rui.

"There's no way around it, if you don't use them to build momentum, Sauron won't pay attention to you at all." At this time, Fang Han also came over and heard Qizai's words. He also sighed and said, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to help you this time, alas." I hope Xiao Xin can succeed. ”

It turned out that in order to smoothly grasp the situation at the World Demon Federation press conference. Xiao Xin came forward to ask his old friend Fang Han for help, so that FF and the others could lead the crowd into the venue at the most appropriate time. Now the first two riskiest steps of the plan have been successful, and only the last step remains - negotiations!

In the third step, Xiao Xin faced Sauron alone, and the only strategy was: to improvise.

At this time, an official from the World Demon Federation took the stage to announce the suspension of the press conference, and 20 minutes later to further announce the rules of the WW. After a commotion, the reporters saw that the situation could not be changed, so they gradually quieted down. But everyone's eyes were staring at the room that Zoro and Xiao Xin had walked into, and people all had a feeling that an event that could change the history of the world's demon altar might be happening in this small room.

Tick, tick, tick, the hands of the clock in the hall are constantly turning, the time passes, everything is silent, everyone is waiting......

Finally, the door of the room opened, and countless long guns and short cannons in the hands of the reporters were aimed at the door, and people wanted to record the expressions of the two as they walked out of the room...... Is it angry, cold, or depressed?

However, when Zoro and Xiao Xin walked out of the room together, both of them actually had bright smiles on their faces, and they walked side by side to the stage, like a pair of old friends who had been reunited after a long absence. Xiao Xin smiled and made a "please" gesture to Sauron, who also smiled, and then walked onto the rostrum.

"After careful consideration, the World Demon Federation has decided to make the following changes to the qualifiers for the WW Individual and Team Tournaments: 2 (teams) in Oceania, 3 (teams) in the Americas, 7 (teams) in Europe, and 4 (teams) in Asia, and at the same time, we have made an important decision for the development and inheritance of Warcraft Esports......"

Zoro cleared his throat, the people in the audience had changed color, it seemed that the modification of the qualifying quota was not an important decision, the next thing was the point, everyone couldn't help but listen attentively, for fear of missing a word.

"The World Demon Federation has decided to establish an esports committee, which is responsible for managing all professional teams and players, and has the right to arbitrate teams or individuals who harm the interests of the esports industry. At the same time, the WW Individual Champion will directly become the Vice President of the World Magic Federation, and will take over as President in two years. ”

As soon as Sauron finished speaking, the hall fell into an uproar and boiling atmosphere, and this shocking decision would hit everyone's nerves like a stormy wave.

"Chairman Sauron! The WW individual champion takes over as the president of the World Demon Federation, does that mean that you will give up the chairmanship?! ”

"As a player, TopOne is not qualified to participate in the management of the World Demon Federation, why would the World Demon Federation make concessions in the qualifying places? Is there some kind of tacit understanding between the two of you? ”

"Chairman Sauron, do you think TopOne is the most likely to win the WW Individual Championship and thus join the World Demon League, are you preparing for the development of a successor?"

"It's unprecedented for a player to go directly to the management of the World Demon Federation! Did you make such a decision in a separate conversation with TopOne? ”

"What was the content of your individual conversation? Is there any secret here? ”

Most of the reporters pointed to the 20 minutes when the two of them talked alone, and everyone knew that all the riddles were in those 20 minutes.

Bang Bang Bang! Zoro clapped his hands vigorously, and waited until everyone was quiet, then he said expressionlessly: "First, in two years, there will be a general election for the president of the World Demon Federation, and at that time, I will step down; The decision of the Second World Demon Alliance is only for the sake of the development of the industry, and will not be affected by any individual! This is the end of this press conference! ”

With that, Zoro ignored the protesting reporters and left the hall, accompanied by a large number of staff members. And after Zoro announced the new rules of the WW competition, Xiao Xin had quietly left the venue with the FF people.

And just like that, the press conference, which could change the entire history of esports, ended in an abrupt way. Of course, everything that happened today became the focus of all esports people's heated discussions, and for a long time afterward, people were speculating and speculating on every detail at that time, trying to find a clue from it, so as to deduce the content of the conversation between Zoro and Xiao Xin. BECAUSE, IT IS CLEAR THAT IT WAS THE 20 MINUTES OF THE TWO TALKING ALONE THAT CHANGED THE RULES OF THE WORLDWAR AND AFFECTED THE INHERITANCE OF THE SUPREME SCEPTER OF THE WORLD MAGIC FEDERATION.

A reporter who participated in the FF team's press conference pointed out that TopOne should have mastered a lot of unspeakable shady scenes of Sauron, and brought up Ringer as a witness, but when the media mobilized various forces to find this "witness", they found that Ringer seemed to have evaporated from the world, and when Sauron and Xiao Xin remained silent, this matter became a mystery. Ringer, did this person ever exist? What role did he play in the whole incident? Is what he said really true?

There is no way to know this. Because, Ringer never appeared again. And the name "Ringer" has become synonymous with "ghost".

"He descended with darkness and secrets, and then mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind an eternal unsolved case" - this is the final evaluation of him.

Ten years later, TOWIN, the world's leading esports media, published a famous chronicle called "Warcraft Twenty Years", in which he commented on the events that took place at Eurogate: "If you go to Madrid as an esports enthusiast to visit the Porta de Europe building, you will not miss the small room on the thirteenth floor of the venue, because this room changed the entire history of esports." Ten years ago, at this venue, TopOne led the crowd to make a big fuss at the World Demon Federation press conference, and after a fierce confrontation, Zoro and TopOne walked into this room together, and after that, the two most accomplished and controversial figures in the history of Warcraft mysteriously reached a certain consensus, and as a result, the wheel of esports began to change direction. This event is known in the history of Warcraft as the 'Eurogate Incident'". (To be continued.) )
