Tang Feibai was stunned, then patted Qianye's shoulder with his hand, and only said "Okay, very good, you are good" and then couldn't speak for a long time, Qianye's determination like an oath seemed to evoke his memories.

The current e-sports circle is okay, with a large amount of capital injection and the promotion of film and television stars, the environment is many times better than before, at least now I play professionally, even if I enter the worst club, I don't have to worry about having no place to sleep and not having enough to eat.

This is not an exaggeration, when there was no concept of e-sports in China, the iconic term to describe professional players was "Internet addicted teenagers", and many "experts" described these people as having mental illness, and the reason why they were addicted to games was to escape from reality, passively avoid the world, and escape responsibility.

At that time, many professional players ate and lived in Internet cafes, living on instant noodles all day long, or a few people were crowded in a small room dormitory in cold winter and hot summer, either hot heat stroke, or cold hands and feet.

Even when you go to other places to compete, you have to pay for the round-trip travel and accommodation expenses out of your own pocket, how can there be any lounge, and it is common to shiver in the stadium in winter, and even worse, even if you get the ranking after the game, you will be owed a bonus of only a few thousand yuan.

The original TSG team rose in that era, and without any outside support, the five young people in the TSG team, led by Xia Yuxuan, created a world-class top team in this harsh situation.

At that time, Tang Feibai knew that Xia Yuxuan's family was wealthy, and it seemed that his mother was still the chairman of a food chain group, but Xia Yuxuan's mother was very strongly opposed to Xia Yuxuan, who was supposed to study abroad, returning to China to play e-sports, so the relationship between mother and son was very stiff, and Xia Yuxuan chose to oppose his mother's majesty by running away from home.

During that time, the five members of the TSG team spent the most memorable time in a small rental house, like a steamer in the summer, and in the winter because of the cracks in the windows, the five of them were shivering in the cold at night and could only snuggle up to each other to keep warm. The main meal in life is basically steamed buns with instant noodles, and the most extravagant dinner event is to go to KFC to eat hamburgers together.

Although the TSG team at that time had difficult conditions, the five of them had always been happy in the midst of hardship, without any complaints, and they had to withstand the pressure from society and family to become a top team in the world step by step.

However, the LOL World Finals in the S1 era is not like the era when NBA stadiums and World Cup stadiums can be easily sold out like today, nor is it an era when streamers and live broadcasts can easily attract millions of viewers.

It's easy to forget that the start of the Series S finals was in Sweden.

Tang Feibai remembers very well that that summer, League of Legends was just one of the many small games at the DreamHack exhibition in Sweden, and its reputation was not obvious, many people didn't know the game League of Legends, and there were only about three or four hundred people at the scene of the S1 World Finals, and the audience was far less engaged than it is now, and most of them just had the mentality of just coming to see it.

At that time, there was no standardized and shiny arena stage, and the players and fans were almost zero distance, the players played in the front, and the spectators stood in the back to watch, and the two were only separated by a simple guardrail. Tang Feibai complained at that time that during the game, there were always female fans touching his hair, which caused his teammates to laugh in the headphones.

Nowadays, this kind of scene is not to mention in the World Finals, but it is difficult to see the games in ordinary regions, such as this provincial competition, I don't know how much more formal it is than the S1 World Finals.

But that time is very nostalgic for Tang Feibai, before the final finals, no one would doubt that the TSG team would win the championship of the S1 World Finals, and the five members of the TSG team also firmly believe in it.

There were unforeseen circumstances, and just before the finals, Xia Yuxuan suddenly received a phone call, saying that there was an emergency at home and he had to fly back to China immediately.

Tang Feibai originally thought that a week should be enough for Xia Yuxuan to solve the affairs at home, and he was still in time to participate in the final finals, but what he was waiting for was not Xia Yuxuan's return, but the news of his unexpected death.

The rest of the TSG team endured their grief and continued to participate in the finals, and Xia Yuxuan's greatest wish was to win the World Championship.

Although the organizer reluctantly agreed to play normally in the absence of one person, the TSG team unfortunately went out of the game and failed to fulfill Xia Yuxuan's last wish.

Nowadays, there are not many teams that remember the S1 period, and perhaps the only one who still vaguely knows who the champion of the S1 World Championship is, as for who the TSG team is? Almost no one remembers. After all, the winner is king, people will only remember the winner, and the loser will always be forgotten by intentional or unintentional choices.

But e-sports people who have come from the times know that there was once a Chinese team that almost reached the top of the world, but unfortunately it fell short.

Even so, Tang Feibai still regards the indelible time in his memory as the most valuable wealth in his life, especially when the TSG team became more and more courageous and gradually grew stronger in various hardships and adversities without any assistance.

Isn't life a process of becoming more and more courageous in the face of all kinds of difficulties, setbacks and adversity?

"You have to be clear, the road of esports is really not easy to follow." Tang Feibai returned to reality from his memory, looked at Qianye and sighed.

Qianye smiled slightly and said, "I'm ready, the glory of the TSG team will shine on the world stage again, which is the goal I inherited and will always follow in the future!" ”

"Ambitious, commendable!" Tang Feibai nodded and said: "But the ideal is based on reality, many people will say empty words, as for whether it can be done is another matter." I'm happy and relieved that you can have such a thought, to be honest.

But if you want to reach the World Finals, the premise is that you have to lead the new TSG team to the LPL Pro League first, and before that, you still have a long road to go in the LSPL First Division, and of course, the provincial competition of the LOL Internet Cafe League at this time and the national finals later. These are all obstacles before you complete Brother Xuan's dream, if you can't even climb these mountains, it can only be said that Brother Xuan also has a time to look away. ”

"It's been a long journey, but my heart is still the same." Qianye said solemnly: "I understand what Brother Feibai said, and we will continue to work hard in this direction for a while!" ”

Tang Feibai smiled and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for the day when you fight to the stage of the LPL Professional League!" As long as you can lead the new TSG team to the LPL, I will help you, as long as you don't dislike me for being old and no longer in peak condition. ”“

"I, Tang Feibai, have never left the TSG team!" Tang Feibai said word by word: "When the time comes, as long as you need it, I dare not say it to others, but I am very willing to fight with you to see if you are really qualified to take over the flag handed down from Brother Xuan's hand!" ”
