In many cases, even the word "fairness" was not absolute.
Perhaps in the professional eSports arena, victory and defeat could be determined purely by the individual strength of the team and the players. However, outside of the arena, behind the curtains, there were many things that could not be judged by the word "fairness".
Because in terms of fairness, the China eSports industry and No. 1 and the others had put in great effort and painstaking effort to win the rights to host the Intercontinental Tournament and the S7 World Finals. But suddenly, they had to give up all of their hard work because of an honorary advisory group meeting. Naturally, there was no reason for that.
But …
From another perspective, it was completely reasonable for such an honorary advisory group meeting to be held in the form of a show of hands.
However, it sounded too realistic and cruel.
A total of seven votes.
The minority followed the majority.
It was the simplest and most direct way of judging a player's strength. The legends of the previous generation, such as Crow and Lee Daozai in the European and Korean eSports circles, had used this method to win against No.1 and the others twice in a row.
Even —
This couldn't be considered a "contest" at all.
Because before all of this had even begun, the outcome had already been decided.
Therefore, Arrow's words were not unreasonable. They even hit the nail on the head. Even if No. 1 pulled in a foreign aid like Bullet to help the China eSports industry win an extra precious vote in this honorary advisory group meeting, they only had a total of three votes.
And they were up against four votes held by the four honorary advisors of the Korean and European regions.
There was no way there could be any accidents.
It would always be a three-versus-four outcome.
To be honest, it seemed like the only way left for No.1 and the others was that as the head of the honorary consultant group, No.1 still had the right to veto. However, he only had the right to do so once. Facing …
There were a total of nine motions in the thick document on the conference table.
Stretched thin.
A drop in the bucket.
In fact, if there were others present at this time, they would probably be anxious to see such a situation. Up until now, the first two motions had been passed, but Number One still hadn't used his veto power.
If he didn't use it now … when would he wait?
Forget about the intercontinental competition.
On the other hand, the S7 World Finals was the most important event of all. There was no other competition that could be compared to the S League in terms of scale. Not even vetoing such a motion and giving it up to their opponent for free, the price they had to pay was too painful — —
More importantly, was there anything more critical than the S League in the remaining motions?
…
"Something even more important than the S7 finals?"
The same astonishment also landed on Han Shihao, who was in the Hilton Hotel room. When he heard such shocking news casually from the young director sitting on the sofa not far away in front of him, Han Shihao immediately looked at the young director, and he was bewildered, which was rare for him.
It was reasonable.
After all, any League of Legends player in the world would answer this question without hesitation, "How is that possible?"
As long as it was a League of Legends tournament.
In that case, the S Series League would always be at the top of the league.
It was unsurpassable.
Nothing can compare.
It was just like how Han Shihao's position as the leader of the Four Emperors was above all other pro players.
"What else is there?"
Han Shihao couldn't help but ask. The next moment, he saw Park Canlie, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly take out a laptop, put it on his knees, and turned it on.
"What are you doing?"
The young inspector did not even raise his head as he quickly typed on his laptop, which had been powered on.
"While talking to you about this, I suddenly thought of something."
"Something … that might be very scary."
"I need to verify it."
Han Shihao frowned. He was used to the mysterious style of the young director in front of him. He just repeated his question.
Pu Canlie finally raised his head and looked at him.
"You didn't guess it?"
"That's true. As a professional esports player, you are indeed a little too pure. However, there are some things outside of the competition that are actually closely related to every esports player. You should understand more about them."
Pu Canlie paused for a moment, then continued in a leisurely tone.
"If we're talking about the position in the hearts of all players and pro players, then the S League is undoubtedly the supreme competition. On this level, nothing else can compare to it."
"So, you should think about it the other way round."
"The S League is the first under the framework of our current professional esports system."
"Then …"
"Since it is more important than the S League, it can only fall outside this framework, or above this framework. For example …"
"Something that can elevate professional esports to a higher level."
Pu Canlie's tone was meaningful.
Han Shihao was stunned for a moment. He suddenly thought of something and came to a sudden realization. His face showed a shocked expression again.
"You mean —"
…
City Center, World Telecommunications Association branch office building where the headquarters of the World Telecommunications Association was located.
The honorary consultant meeting in the conference room was still going on in an orderly manner.
As the chairman of the meeting, Martin, spoke in a rigid and emotionless tone, the documents placed in front of every honorary consultant were flipped page by page.
One by one, the motions were read, viewed, discussed, and voted on.
The third item.
The fourth item.
The fifth item …
There were no unexpected changes in the voting results from beginning to end. It was always three votes to four votes. The atmosphere in the entire conference room seemed to be unchanging.
Although compared to the first and second motions, the weight of the subsequent motions was obviously much lighter, it was obvious that the proposer had carefully designed and prepared them. They were almost perfectly aimed at the interests of all aspects of the Chinese esports circle, like hungry hyenas and hungry wolves devouring each other.
Every bite was like taking a huge bite out of the cake of China's eSports interests.
Blood dripped.
Ghastly.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost a little suffocating.
Finally, the documents were flipped to the last few pages. The old man sitting at the head of the conference table raised his head with his presbyopic glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked at the group of legends present and slowly said,
"So.
"Next is the last motion proposal of this meeting.
"Everyone, please take a look at the materials first."
The group of legends looked down at the documents. The three translated languages printed on the paper were clearly reflected in their eyes.
The title of the first line of text seemed to have been deliberately underlined and bolded by the printer.
At this moment, if anyone else were to see this line of words, they would definitely be unable to restrain the shock on their faces, and it was even to the extent that they would be shocked to the extreme.
No. 1 slowly raised his head.
His gaze swept across Li Daozai, then looked at Crow at the end of the long conference table.
Then, he smiled.
"So —"
"That's your ultimate goal, huh?"
His tone was still calm and casual.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the entire conference room seemed to have suddenly dropped to a freezing point.
