When one's status and strength had reached the level of Number 1, Number 3, and the others, they basically didn't care about many things anymore.
This was because as long as it was something related to professional esports, they had already achieved it in the past.
Standing at their current level, even if it was the competition of the new generation of esports, or even the ownership of one or two World Championships, they wouldn't care too much about it.
But …
Even so.
Upon hearing the news from Number One, Number Three who was sitting on the sofa couldn't help but be moved by it.
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you about something like this?" Number One said as he turned to look at his old friend on the sofa. "If it wasn't for this … a mere S6 Finals wouldn't be enough for Xiao Wu and I to call you back, right?"
Number Three nodded subconsciously, as though he was still slowly digesting this shocking news. All the clues had been sorted out.
"No wonder.
"If … that's really the case.
"We must win next year's S7."
In fact, it wasn't just because of the glory that the S7 World Championship could bring. Even if the S-League was to be held in China next year, if it was just to earn some face for the Chinese server, it wouldn't be the most important and most important reason.
There was still some insider information …
This was something that only a few of the top bosses in the Chinese eSports Association, as well as the likes of Number One, Three, and Number Five were privy to.
Because —
China's eSports was about to usher in a new systemic change.
There would be a higher level of power deciding whether or not to participate in it.
This crucial decision for the Chinese eSports server had been under discussion for more than a year or two. It was just that the people at the top of the hierarchy hadn't been able to reach a consensus. Number One and many of the higher-ups of the China Television Industry Association had been trying their best to persuade them, but they hadn't seen any results.
This was akin to a professional esports player trying to achieve a breakthrough in their realm, but they encountered a bottleneck.
To break through the bottleneck, apart from hard work … they also needed an opportunity.
For Number One, as well as the big shots in China's professional esports circle, who had been working hard for "that thing", it was the same logic. They were also missing an opportunity.
As a close companion and an old friend of many years, Number Three had learned about that incident from Number One a long time ago. So when he heard the news from Number One, he immediately understood.
Perhaps …
The opportunity for that matter had finally appeared.
She turned around again and looked through the floor-to-ceiling window at the city lights in the distance. Something was reflected in the depths of her eyes, as though there was a flame burning and dancing faintly. Number One said softly,
"Old Fang and I … even talked to Old Lin in private."
"As long as we can win S7 domestically."
"That matter …"
"It's basically done."
"Old Fang" was naturally referring to Fang Hao, the current chairman of the Shanghai Esports Association in China. As for the "Old Lin" that Number One mentioned, it could only be Lin Songshi, the number one person in the headquarters of the China Esports Association and the current chairman of the China Esports Association.
Number Three nodded. "Then there's no need for me to worry about it. You three can finish your discussion."
Originally, among the five members of the team, No.3 was the one who was the least interested in trivial matters outside of the competition. Otherwise, if he wanted to do something, he wouldn't dare to claim the position of the chairman of the China Esports Association, but at least he wouldn't be any worse than Fang Hao, who was the chairman of the Shanghai Esports Association.
But as though he remembered something, Number Three furrowed his brows.
"But —"
"Next year's S7 … it seems to be the most troublesome season."
Indeed.
The few old men from the previous generation from Europe might still be patiently lying low for now, but it was obvious that they had begun to extend their hands into the European LCS. Next year's S7 would undoubtedly be a part of the competition.
Needless to say, Korea had always been the strongest and most threatening region. Whether it was the invincible SSK at their peak, or Fate, who seemed to have a stunning bottom lane duo and had the guidance of MC, they would definitely be the most fearsome opponents in the S7 Season.
Even the veteran North American team Season, the second in the Four Emperors, the world's god of support, Autumn, was showing no signs of slowing down. The overall strength of the team under her leadership was slowly but steadily rising.
Perhaps even Bullet, who had been a headache for the top players of the previous generation, was about to reappear in the North American region.
It seemed that another era of strong players and even gods was about to arrive.
And it was foreseeable that this era would not be inferior to the grand waves of the previous generation.
To carve a bloody path out of the encirclement of strong players, and even win the World Championship in next year's S7 … the difficulty was more than double that of the upcoming S6 Season.
"Yes."
No. 1 nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly. "When that time comes … it will indeed be a very troublesome situation. If possible, I even want to put down my old face and personally participate to make sure that nothing goes wrong."
There had never been a sentence that carried as much weight as what Number One had just said.
If it was true, it would probably move all the existences in the professional esports circle of the two generations.
If …
He really wanted 'that person' to personally take the field.
Then there would really be no need for anyone else to play. Even in next year's S7 Season, there would be no suspense, and all the top gods would be defeated one by one.
But, it was a pity.
When he heard the hidden meaning in his old friend's words, Number Three looked up and looked at Number Three.
"If you really participate and pull us along … even if we win the S7 Season, 'that thing' probably won't happen, right?"
No. 1 sighed regretfully.
"Yeah."
"The few people at the top … are not so easy to fool. Relying on us to win the championship is not very convincing for them."
No. 5, who was sitting by the bed, looked up and smiled. "Those people … don't want to see the past of the national esports, they want to see the present and the future."
Therefore …
"We can't participate, and there's no point in doing so."
No. 1 nodded slightly and his tone became calm. "Then this kind of thing can only be left to the kids of the new generation."
No. 3 frowned. "It still doesn't feel very reassuring."
No. 1 smiled. "Oh, that's how it is now. But … fortunately, that brat Lin Feng finally rushed back at the most crucial time."
