China, Shanghai, Esports Association Branch.
Fang Hao, who was sitting in the president's office, was talking to Chu Fang Nan on the other end of the line while looking out the window.
The night sky was vast, and stars flickered from time to time.
This made the thoughts of the China Shanghai Esports Association's president involuntarily tug. He felt as if time had flown by and the world had turned into mulberry fields.
Back then.
Back then.
Four years ago, he transferred from League of Legends to be in charge of the League of Legends. At that time, the League of Legends professional circle had achieved unprecedented glory. Even though the few Gods had retired, they still established their position in the League of Legends professional circle.
At that time, League of Legends was just a rising BA esports game.
At that time, he was the Vice President of the Shanghai Esports Association. When he was first assigned to be in charge of LL, many people in the association were not optimistic about the new domain he was in charge of.
But he still threw himself into the work wholeheartedly.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. At the beginning of his work, he encountered too many difficulties and obstacles. At that time, the domestic LL Esports was almost a blank slate. Even the regular offline professional competitions could not be carried out well.
Venue, sponsorship, personnel, equipment …
And so on and so forth. All of them were problems.
Fortunately, there was a small group of professional players who were like him. They had a passion for this new game. In such a difficult era, in such a difficult environment, they continued to work hard, and little by little, they produced results and achieved results.
That was how the World Finals came about. Their domestic server had such a team that became one of the only two qualified teams in the Asian division and flew to London, England to participate in the S1 season finals.
…
"At that time … when we heard that our team had qualified for the finals, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we were overjoyed —"
Chu Fang Nan could not help but sigh.
Fang Hao laughed.
"Yeah, it really wasn't easy. Hard work pays off, and it's always worth being excited and happy about."
But at that time … even if their team had made it to the finals, it would not have been smooth sailing.
Because Fang Hao also clearly remembered that back then, because of that problem, it caused a serious dispute in the World Esports Association.
In his memories, those scenes and those angry and impassioned arguments seemed to still be right before his eyes and echoed in his ears.
"I am the vice-chairman of the China Esports Association! Ripple's age had already been reported during the LPL League and was kept as a special case. We had already reported this to the World Esports Association even earlier! "
"You must give us an explanation for what happened today!"
"If we don't give a result today, none of us will walk out of here!"
The scenes in his memory flashed through his mind, and Fang Hao couldn't help but smile again.
The high spirits of the past.
Back then, they had argued bluntly.
He even slammed the table in the office of the World Esports Association's headquarters and scolded the big shots of the association headquarters.
The soul-stirring events of that time had already become memories worth cherishing.
The Battle Team that they had placed their hopes on did not disappoint them and fought their way to the end.
Unfortunately …
He was only one step away from the championship of the S1 season.
Thinking of this, Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head slightly. There was also regret and pity in his heart.
Back then, the five young members of that team, each of them was definitely talented and had the strength to compete for the final championship trophy. It was just that they lacked a little bit of luck, and in the end, they regrettably lost.
Now, three of the five members of that team had left. Although the remaining two were still struggling in the professional circle, only Fatty Tian Tian had achieved some results and became the number one top laner in the national server, "Circle God".
…
In fact, in Fang Hao's opinion, the most talented player back then was definitely not Fatty.
Even though Tian Tian had played such a stunning performance in this season's finals, among the five members of that team, his talent and potential could only be ranked in the top three.
The second was their A.
The first was the 15-year-old genius mid laner who was at the center of the dispute back then —
aple。
"If those people back then were still working hard in the professional esports circle, the current lineup of professional players on the national server would at least be twice as strong —"
Chu Fang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
Fang Hao nodded slightly.
"Perhaps, among the Seven Kings and Four Emperors, there should be one or two more spots on the national server."
Saying this, Fang Hao couldn't help but sigh again.
The defeat in the finals back then was perhaps a heavy blow to the young Ripple. That cruel reality was hard for the genius mid laner to face and accept, and so he left the professional esports scene early.
Otherwise …
Ripple was able to defeat Phenix in a head-on battle, and he was able to hold his own against the current leader of the Four Emperors —
Among the current Four Emperors, there should be a place for him.
Pulling his thoughts back to reality, Fang Hao shook his head and asked casually,
"Are the two groups over there going to finish soon?"
"A lot of people should be waiting to go home to watch the live stream of King's match against SSK tonight. There shouldn't be any delays, right?"
Chu Fang Nan nodded. "Yeah, the first group was 13 versus West High School, and it's already over. Now the second group is going on, and it should be Shang Wai Fu High advancing to the semifinals."
"Shang Wai Fu High? Last year's runner-up, right? " Fang Hao raised an eyebrow, but his attention was attracted by the other group Chu Fang Nan mentioned. "But is High School 13 a new team this year? I don't remember last year — "
…
In the venue of the Shanghai Sixteen School League, the second group of the quarterfinals was coming to an end.
This was because Shang Wai Fu High was too strong.
As expected of last year's runner-up, whether it was in terms of overall strength or tactical execution, they completely crushed their opponents. Coupled with their fierce playstyle, Shang Wai Fu High only took 25 minutes to easily win the first match.
At this moment, the second match had also been going on for more than 10 minutes, and the situation on the field had fallen into the control of the purple team from Shanghai Foreign Affiliated High School.
Below the stage, the members of the High School 13 esports club in the guest seats in the front row all had solemn expressions on their faces.
All of them felt immense pressure.
Shang Wai Fu High …
They were stronger than last year.
Or, it could be said that last year's Esports Club team was still too weak. They didn't even get to experience the true terror of their opponents and were easily crushed. Now, High School 13's team had obvious improvements and improvements. They were finally starting to feel the terrifying strength of last year's runner-up team.
"Can they really win?"
Liu Yue couldn't help but mutter.
Chen Zi, Wei Dong, and the others were also silent.
Even Ou Yang kept his mouth shut.
Lin Feng's expression was extremely serious as he stared intently at the BOSS on the screen. After a long time, he finally came to a conclusion.
"This team …"
"Very strong!"
"But —" Lin Feng suddenly changed the topic, his tone filled with determination. "We still have to win!"
Backstage, Chu Fang Nan had just hung up the phone.
Just as he was about to take a break, a staff member from the Esports Association walked over and handed him a document.
"Brother Chu, this is the information on the top eight teams.
The information on High School 13's members should be in there as well. "
"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Chu Fang Nan smiled and nodded to his staff member. After the staff member turned around and left, he looked down at the information in his hand.
Soon, he flipped to the page with High School 13.
Then, his eyes casually swept across the information on this page.
But when he glanced at a certain line of text in the document …
As if he had seen something, Chu Fangnan's face suddenly revealed a look of disbelief and shock.
