For people in the industry who could see problems more clearly than most ordinary people, it was inevitable that their mood would become a little heavy when talking about such related topics.
However, even Old Mi and Fei Yan, who were the official commentators of the Chinese server's LPL competitions, did not know the entire truth behind the scenes.
Correspondingly, when it came to topics of gossip that even they were not clear about, the two commentators' mood became similar to that of most ordinary netizens.
"Tonight's training for the three teams is going to be held at the Soaring Dragon eSports Arena, right?"
Fei Yan, who was slightly less experienced, was the first to ask this question out of curiosity.
"Brother Mi, you weren't invited to watch?"
Old Mi, who was on the other end of the YY live chat channel, shook his head and said in a slightly regretful tone, "Yeah, I wanted to go. I even asked my friend from the God e-Sports Club to help me talk things out, but they couldn't do anything about it. They said that apart from the three teams, no one else was allowed to watch the competition."
It was rare to see a senior official commentator of a professional LPL competition become a bystander.
Correspondingly, this meant that the training for the three teams this time was definitely not ordinary.
Fei Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"I heard that the training this time was also led by those 'specially hired coaches'?"
"Brother Mi, do you know where those specially hired coaches came from? Even I've been curious about them, let alone the fans in my live stream channel."
Indeed.
The fact that the few legends of the previous generation of the Chinese eSports scene had joined forces under the personal invitation of Fang Hao, the president of the Shanghai eSports Association. This matter was originally only known by a very small circle of people in the Chinese server. Even if people outside the circle had heard about it, they did not know the exact truth.
Fortunately, Fei Yan happened to ask the right person.
Old Mi, who was on the other end of the live chat channel, seemed to be interested in his young and beautiful female colleague's question. He could not help but feel a little excited.
"If you're going to talk about those people's backgrounds … it's going to be really big!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I wasn't too optimistic about this year's S6 Grand Finals. Even if our local teams are doing well, so what? The teams from the other regions are still stronger —"
"But this year, the biggest difference and change, the biggest opportunity for our national server to compete in the world finals, really falls on those 'specially hired coaches'!"
Even Old Mi, who had a lot of experience and seniority in the commentator circle, couldn't help beaming with joy. He looked like an ordinary fan who chased after a celebrity. Even his tone became a little louder.
This piqued Fei Yan's curiosity even more. She could not wait to ask more questions, and Old Mi finally lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.
"You can't tell anyone about this. There aren't many people who know about this."
"It wasn't easy for me to find out from a friend."
"Those specially hired coaches, but …"
Fei Yan strained her ears and managed to hear the names that Old Mi whispered in the YY voice chat. However, the answer left Fei Yan at a loss.
"Who … Who are they?"
As a newcomer to the official commentator circle, she had only come into contact with Esports since the S3 season of League of Legends. She had no idea about the legends and history of the past.
Compared to these so-called legendary figures from the previous generation of the Chinese server, she had a better understanding of the current situation in the Chinese Esports circle.
It was an objective fact that they were not as skilled as others.
It was a fact that the hard work of many people over the past few seasons had not been able to surpass the top European, American, or even Korean teams.
This problem …
It was not something that could be easily solved by a few professional players from the previous generation of the Chinese server. So what if they were former top professional players?
Fei Yan was a little disappointed when she heard Old Mi's answer.
Old Mi did not mind Fei Yan's attitude. He smiled.
"You haven't lived through that era, so you don't know what kind of legendary achievements those people had in the professional Esports circle. It's not strange for you to have such thoughts."
As he spoke, the official LPL male commentator, who had personally participated in the rise of professional Esports in the Chinese server and even had the honor of being one of the witnesses, paused for a moment. His eyes could not help but sparkle.
"But to be honest, it's not an exaggeration …
"In front of those people …
"No problem can be considered a problem!"
… …
Five, who was in a taxi heading to Pudong Airport, had just solved a difficult problem.
Sitting in the back of the car, she had just ended a call on her cell phone.
The call was to Su Xue.
She had met Su Xue in the office building of the Shanghai ESPORTS Association this morning and had a brief conversation. She had promised to inform Su Xue as soon as she had any news. She had kept her promise.
"How did it go?"
Number Three, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Five.
"I've explained the situation. What's the reaction of that kid's sister?"
Five placed his phone on his knees and closed his eyes. He leaned his head against the pillow behind him and pinched his eyebrows. He could not hide the faint exhaustion on his face.
"Of course she's as worried as we are.
If it weren't for the fact that the paperwork isn't done yet, Xue would probably be in a hurry to change her visa and book a ticket for tomorrow morning. "
Number Three nodded in understanding.
"She seems to have a good relationship with that girl."
Five sighed, "That kid … Who wouldn't like her after spending some time with her?"
Number Three was speechless, silently agreeing with Number Five's words. That was indeed the case. Even someone as proud and aloof as him always had a good impression of the girl who was currently on the other side of the ocean. He had an indescribable admiration and fondness for her.
At the same time, he also noticed the sadness and exhaustion in his partner's voice.
"Tired?"
"If you're tired, close your eyes and rest for a while."
Number Five softly agreed to his companion's kind advice.
She was indeed tired.
Not only was she worried about the girl's condition on the other side of the ocean, but she also felt helpless and troubled when she had to tell others about the grievous news.
But …
Even talking about it with Su Xue, who was not that close to her, was enough to make her feel tired.
Then …
What if she had to tell the girl's childhood sweetheart?
Opening his eyes, he stared blankly at the night lights of the city outside the window. Number Five suddenly spoke in a soft voice.
Five suddenly said softly, "Number One is in the most difficult situation right now."
His tone was filled with deep worry and longing for her fiancé who was still in Dragon Ascension Esports Stadium.
Number Three, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was silent for a moment.
He slowly said, "That guy … We don't have to worry about him.
They are master and disciple. He will make his own decision. "
Five pursed his lips and looked outside the window again. He thought in his heart.
'I hope …'
'Everything will go as I wish.'
