Chu Fangnan didn't explain much about filling in the player information form, and Lin Feng and the others didn't ask much either.
But this matter would still make people feel a little curious.
Especially for the players of the three clubs. Recently, although they had been busy with training and had no time to pay attention to other things, they could feel that the atmosphere in their respective club bases was a little strange.
The coaches and team leaders in their respective bases, including the higher-level managers, seemed to be in a hurry these days. They often walked back and forth with a phone or a few documents in their hands. When they stopped, they only whispered to each other. When the players asked curiously, they were waved away with a few perfunctory words.
Of course, their own coaches and team leaders wouldn't cheat their own players.
But …
Something big was definitely in preparation and was about to happen.
At the dinner table that night, Shi Hang suddenly thought of something.
"Hey, speaking of which —"
"If I remember correctly, if a new team wants to enter the professional circle, it has to climb up step by step, right?"
Next to him was KG's jungler, Old C, who was listening.
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Otherwise, how can any team rise to the top in one step, forming a team today and directly stepping onto the stage of the S-League tomorrow?"
The players of the other three clubs at the dinner table also nodded slightly in agreement.
They had experienced this kind of thing firsthand, especially since some of them didn't start in the LPL league. Instead, they went from a semi-professional team to the LSPL A-League, and then to the LPL, step by step, bit by bit, to rush to the current height. They felt it even more deeply.
Shi Hang waved his hand.
"You guys don't understand what I mean.
"I mean, of course, most teams have to do this, but if we really go according to the rules … wouldn't it take at least a year or two for a newly formed team to reach the world finals as soon as possible?"
KG's mid laner Gui Gui said casually.
"Of course.
"The most ideal situation is that the team you form is first qualified to apply for the LSPL league qualification, then spend a whole year playing the LSPL, ensure that the points ranking in the top two, and win the promotion spot for the LPL league —"
"In the second year, I'll play another year in the LPL League. I'll win the Summer Tournament or the annual points ranking first, or I'll play another round of qualifiers as the third seed. Only then will I be able to enter the S League."
"This is the most ideal situation. If you make a mistake in any of the aspects, you'll have to wait for at least another year."
Shi Hang slammed the table.
"That's the point."
"So, let's not consider anything else. Even if an LSPL team wants to advance to the LPL, they would have to spend a year first, right?"
As he spoke, he looked at the other members of the three teams seated at the table.
"Then what about Lin Feng's new team …?"
As soon as these words came out, almost all the members of the three teams at the table froze.
Then …
He came to his senses.
That's right. Although they were subconsciously happy and looking forward to Lin Feng's new team, they had forgotten that according to the rules of the domestic server professional league, it would take at least a year for a new team to climb to the LPL League step by step.
In other words, even if Lin Feng's team was strong enough, they would have to wait until the following season at the earliest to be able to meet their teams in the LPL arena.
As for the new season next year, at most, they could only struggle in the LSPL League.
But the problem was …
They had already learned from Senior No. 1 that the new season next year would be the most critical and important year for their domestic server.
If Lin Feng and the others only played as an LSPL team …
They were destined to miss this most magnificent banquet.
KG's ADC, Konjac, could not help but stare blankly. "F * ck, isn't this a pity?"
Indeed, even if they could see that the current five members of Lin Feng's team had shortcomings in terms of teamwork and experience, as long as they were given a certain amount of time, this new team would definitely grow quickly. They would definitely be qualified to be promoted to the LPL division and become partners to fight alongside them next season.
But if they were to miss this because of the rules of the competition … it would definitely be a huge loss for their entire LPL division.
Next to him, Huangxue Nightsong suddenly shook his head.
"Not necessarily."
"We don't know about this kind of thing, but Senior Fang and the others must have already calculated this. There's no way they would make such a mistake."
Morning Star also nodded.
"Vice President Chu just came over probably to consider and make arrangements in this regard."
After this reminder, everyone remembered Chu Fangnan's words from before.
There were exceptions to everything, and special cases were handled in a special way.
Ghost Demon had a thoughtful look on his face. "But what kind of arrangements … can break the rules?"
Shi Hang smacked his lips.
"In any case, I don't think it'll be small."
…
On the other side of the table, Ceng Rui, Li Shiyi, Chen Ting, Tang Bingyao, and Tian Tian sat together, also discussing related topics.
Speaking of their speculations about the upcoming season, Tian Tian made the same judgment as Shi Hang, Morning Star, and the others. He was also more certain and confident.
"Senior Fang and the others must be thinking of a way."
"Next year's season … is too important for the national server. It's impossible to let Lin Feng and you guys just stay in the LSPL for another year."
Ceng Rui also showed a look of agreement and nodded.
"Yes."
"So … although I don't know what the specific arrangements will be, we must be fully prepared."
Li Shiyi took a light breath, as if he had made up his mind.
"All of us have to work harder. We can't be a burden."
Tang Bingyao looked worriedly at Lin Feng, who was sitting alone in the corner. "Lin Feng is under the most pressure."
It seemed that since the beginning of the meal, a certain someone had not participated in their conversation. He just ate quietly by himself, completely different from his usual state.
Ceng Rui frowned slightly.
"What's … going on?"
Li Shiyi looked at Tian Tian next to him, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Tian Tian hesitated for a moment, a look of shame and self-blame on his face. He whispered a few words to his former partner.
Li Shiyi immediately came to a realization, but his expression also became somewhat complicated.
The two former teammates who were most familiar with Lin Feng looked at each other and saw the worry and helplessness in each other's eyes.
This kind of thing …
They couldn't do anything about it.
After dinner, everyone practiced for a while at God Club's base. When it was a little past nine, Lin Feng and the others said goodbye and left.
Lin Feng sat alone in a taxi to return to school.
He sat in the back seat with his head down, as if thinking about something.
His phone rang.
He picked it up and heard Chu Fangnan's voice.
"Lin Feng, right?
"Oh, right. I just received your information form, and there's something I forgot to tell you.
"I'll go back and upload your personal information, but think of a team name in the next two days."
