The playoffs for the summer are still in full swing.

Eighteen teams with only three tickets means that fifteen teams will lose their qualification for Worlds.

As the first team in the spring and second in the regular season, FR seems to have a lot easier than other teams.

One day before the game, Qiao Xuan was sitting at the dining table eating the supper Lan Ye cooked for her, and the mobile phone in front of her was playing a playoff game that had just ended.

Bul vs. JY.

JY was a high-spirited team in S4, and although it didn't win the World Championship, it became one of the time-honored teams in the minds of a generation with its unique style of play.

The bul is a new type of team established in recent years, which probably gives people the impression that they are rich and tyrants, and any player can buy them.

Lan Ye put a small bowl of noodles on Qiao Xuan's table and glanced at the screen: "Finished fighting?" ”

"Well," Qiao Xuan took the bowl and sighed, "JY lost." ”

"JY is fifth in the playoffs," Lan Ye said casually, "Their best result in the past few years is to enter the playoffs." ”

As a long-established team, JY was only a flash in the pan in S4, but it was never able to get a good place, let alone qualify for the World Championships.

Qiao Xuan took a sip of soup with a spoon, and looked at the bul people on the screen and bowed to the camera.

"This is the last year JY has existed." Lan Ye said casually.

Qiao Xuan was stunned: "What?" ”

"You probably don't know, JY has not achieved good results over the years, their boss put the team up for sale, and this year is the last year of JY's existence." Lan Yeyun said lightly.

Qiao Xuan's pupils were a little open: "I sold the team, so ...... What about the players? ”

"If the contract doesn't expire, just pack it up and sell it together, and if the contract expires, it depends on whether the new boss wants it," Lan Ye said casually: "Under normal circumstances, the team will be reorganized if it is sold, and it is not very likely that the old players will stay." ”

Qiao Xuan held chopsticks and spoons and didn't move for a long time.

Lan Ye knocked on her bowl: "Hurry up and eat, the batter won't taste good after a while." ”

"Oh......" Qiao Xuan lowered her head, ate a few noodles, and suddenly raised her head again and asked: "What will happen to those old players whose contracts expire and cannot be renewed?" ”

"Those people?" Lan Ye thought for a while and said: "Some of them will choose to retire, and the other part will continue to look for a new owner, but there are no old players with low grades and low reputation, no team is willing to ask for them, after all, it is not cheap to raise a professional player." ”

Qiao Xuan lowered her eyes and muttered: "Everyone's professional life is only a few years, if I can't get results, I will be like them, retire, or...... Don't give up, but in fact, there is no chance to play? ”

Lan Ye heard the sadness in Qiao Xuan's words, and couldn't help laughing: "You are only 18 years old, you started playing professionally in your first year, and you already have a spring champion, how can you be considered unsuccessful?" As for professional life, e-sports players do eat youth, but there are more industries in this world that eat youth, and you can't be so depressed just because you are in the e-sports circle. ”

Qiao Xuan looked at the green onions in the bowl and was silent and did not speak.

Lan Ye said slowly: "Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, this is not only for the e-sports circle, there are hundreds of categories of professions in society, and those who can stay in the end are only the leaders in each line, you can't bear the old players to pay their youth, but they have to quit gloomily, but this is the reality." ”

"As an active player, you have to know where you are, do your best, live up to your youth, strive to win the championship, and leave your name in the history of e-sports, this is what you should do," Lan Ye rubbed her hair and asked with a smile, "Got it?" ”

Qiao Xuan nodded, ate a few bites of noodles, and couldn't help asking, "Did you never want to return to the arena?" ”

"I never thought about it," Lan Ye laughed: "I'm a simple person, I won't look back after making a decision, winning the championship is no longer something for me to pursue now." ”

"And what are you pursuing now?" Qiao Xuan was curious.

Lan Ye smiled but didn't say anything.

I'm pursuing you right now.

……

BUL defeated JY and made it to the final four of the playoffs.

At the same time, the match between FR and LOT began.

This one is a life-and-death battle for lot, and if they win, they will be able to get closer to the finals, and if they lose, they will have to wait for the slightest chance of the bubble match.

It's also very important for FR that if you win, you can go to the Worlds, and they're going to the Worlds, so you have to win!

Before the game, Xiao Zheng once again seriously emphasized that he must not underestimate the enemy, he must be stable, Lot is an old opponent, FR has not lost in this year, and now he can't lose in such a critical game.

The stage lighting in Hangzhou's home stadium has always been very good, and after everyone sat down, Xi Chen couldn't help but rub his fingers.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yi saw him rubbing his fingers.

Xi Chen was stunned and snorted coldly: "It's okay!" Daddy excited! ”

Yan Yi smiled lightly: "Save your excitement and strive for 3:0." ”

Xi Chen glanced at Yan Di.

This guy has always been annoying to speak, and the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, but this time he didn't say anything nasty.

"Look at what I'm going to do," Yan Yi adjusted the mouse pad and said lightly, "You're not the only one who wants to go to the World Championship." ”

Xi Chen raised his eyebrows, okay, grandson, he can still speak human words!

At the beginning of the game, the FR side was Yan Yi's starting assistant, his style of play has always been aggressive, and Ji Zhizhou knows it very well, so the second level started and frequently patronized the lower road.

Xia Weihang is an old assistant, and it is okay to be reluctant not to die, but on the road, Xie Chuan single-handedly killed the lot in less than ten minutes, and took advantage of it and kept chasing and fighting.

With Xie Chuan on the road, Ji Zhizhou didn't have to think about it, he didn't have to bully Xia Weihang by himself, and he always called Qin Rui to come together.

It's good to die, the first brush in the canyon is the fire dragon.

"The advantage on the road is infinite, control this dragon first." Ji Zhizhou gave Longkeng a signal.

Qin Rui understood, pushed the line and went down.

Yan didn't leave Xi Chen on the line and leaned on the dragon pit.

FR's move to take the dragon is already obvious.

Lot obviously didn't plan to let this dragon, Xia Weihang spared half a circle, ambushed at the narrow mouth of the upper road, he took the scarecrow to assist, and wanted to jump big at any time.

"Xia Weihang is gone." Xi Chen gave a message.

Ji Zhizhou inserted a fake eye on the road, and immediately saw Xia Weihang, and without saying much, he united with Yan to send the bloody Xia Weihang home.

"Take the dragon." Ji Zhizhou made a quick decision.

", brush the fire dragon again," Qin Rui shouted: "The home buff has taken effect." ”

"I guess Xia Weihang may be crying now," Xi Chen smiled: "Lot has no advantage in the early stage, and he also brushed the double fire dragon in the early stage, and he will change the line to take the dragon Meizizi later." ”

Ji Zhizhou had a good rhythm, just like Xi Chen thought, and when the line was changed, he easily took away the next day's fire dragon.
