Even though the Demacia Cup wasn't an official competition, the audience was still excited when they saw Y win the cup again.
After the Demacia Cup, it was the summer competition.
There was also an intercontinental competition in between the summer competition.
The intercontinental competition was a battle between LPL, LCK, and the other divisions in Asia.
However, in this game, LPL and LCK were the two dominant teams. The other divisions were called noobs. There was no suspense at all. Therefore, the highlight of the intercontinental competition was always the battle between LCK and LPL.
At the start of the summer competition, Y continued to play like a wolf and sat firmly at the top of the eastern division.
In the western division, HY took the lead.
After the start of the intercontinental competition, all the coaches put aside the grudges between the teams and worked hard to fight against the LCK division.
Jiujiu had done her research on the four LCK teams. After discussing with the other three coaches and deciding on the battle order, she went to supervise Y's training.
After listening to Jiujiu's analysis of the four LCK teams, the coaches who were originally unconvinced by Jiujiu instantly understood that Y's victory was due to Jiujiu's efforts.
Without Jiujiu, Y's rise wouldn't have been so fast.
Although Jiujiu was the youngest among them, Jiujiu's understanding of the game, especially the version, was very deep. She could talk about any hero clearly and logically. The coaches who participated in the discussion with Jiujiu felt that they benefited a lot from talking with Jiujiu.
As expected, after the intercontinental competition began, LCK and LPL were the dominant teams.
The finals were naturally LCK versus LPL.
The intercontinental competition was a battle between two divisions. Everyone naturally chose Tian Ji's horse-racing style. In the first round, the average team would fight against LCK's ace team.
This way, although they would lose the first round, their chances of winning the next round would be much higher.
However, the reality was just as the coaches thought.
Under Tian Ji's horse-racing style, LCK lost three games in a row after winning one game and lost the entire competition.
Even though this was only an Asian competition, the European and American teams had always been weaker. Therefore, winning against LCK would mean that LPL was the best in the world.
Commentator A shouted excitedly, "We are the champions again!"
This year, they had already won two international championships. If they could win the S Competition, which was the most prestigious championship, it would be fulfilling everyone's dream.
After returning from the Intercontinental Tournament, it was time for the Summer Tournament. At this time, something happened to Flying Xu.
Actually, professional e-sports players would more or less develop some occupational diseases.
Tendonitis and lumbar muscle strain were even more common.
Although Flying Xu was only twenty this year and hadn't even reached the age to get a marriage certificate, he was already quite old for an eSports player.
Before Flying Xu joined Y, he had been training hard in the youth training camp.
Because his rank was too low, it was normal for Flying Xu to train twelve to thirteen hours a day. Long periods of high-intensity training caused Flying Xu's body to develop occupational diseases earlier than others.
Especially tendonitis. After the Intercontinental Tournament, his hand hurt so much that he couldn't even lift it.
Flying Xu looked guiltily at Jiujiu, who was standing in front of him. He lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake. "Sister Yunhuai, I'm sorry. I made you worry."
The team had just been formed. Even though there were substitutes, in reality, everyone knew that the substitutes were the children of the second team. Those children were good at playing casual games, but if they really went on stage, they would be like Ah Mao last time. They would be scared before they even started playing.
Because of the Intercontinental Tournament, Y's recent competition schedule was very close. Now that he had an illness at this time, he would probably have to be a substitute in the next round.
Even though Ah Mao's team members had played together before, they hadn't gone through systematic training together. If they really went on stage, they would definitely be Y's weakness.
Jiujiu looked at Fei Xu's guilty expression, which was on the verge of crying, and felt a little uncomfortable.
She always knew that the lives of professional e-sports players weren't as glamorous as the outside world thought. She also knew that they more or less had some occupational diseases. She also asked Brother Wang to help find a physiotherapist and a team doctor. However, she never expected that the usually calm Flying Xu's occupational disease would be the most serious one among all of them.
Jiujiu reached out to check Flying Xu's pulse. However, just as she reached out, she remembered that her current identity wasn't suitable for her to have another special identity. She first asked the team doctor and physiotherapist to help take care of Flying Xu while she worked on other aspects.
While Jiujiu was thinking of ways to help Flying Xu, Flying Xu was faced with two choices.
One was to wait for his illness to get better and continue playing until he couldn't stand up anymore. Then, he would choose to retire.
The other was to retire just like that and live stream to earn money like other retired players.
If he continued to play professionally, it meant that his body might get worse and worse. Moreover, it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to get the championship that he dreamed of even if he sacrificed his health. Instead, it would be easier to just retire and live stream.
After live streaming, he wouldn't need to train as hard as he did now. He also wouldn't need to perform extreme maneuvers like he did now. Sufficient rest and no excessive wear and tear would make his life easier.
Moreover, because he and Team Y had won the first mid-season championship in the LPL, even if he retired and started live streaming, his fans would definitely be more than the fans of other retired players. It would also be easier for him to earn money than other people.
However, even if he knew that he would live a better life if he retired just like that, Flying Xu was still reluctant to retire.
Just like how all athletes wanted to win gold medals, he also wanted to win all the trophies that could be won.
During the few days of treatment, Flying Xu kept thinking about this matter. In the end, he still chose to talk to Jiujiu.
After listening to Flying Xu's description of his situation and his thoughts of retiring, Jiujiu was instantly startled.
She knew that Flying Xu's illness was very serious, but she didn't think that Flying Xu's illness would be so serious. Moreover, he had to bear so much psychological pressure by himself. Jiujiu instantly felt sorry for Flying Xu.
Jiujiu looked at the guilty-looking Flying Xu and sighed. "Flying Xu, I can understand that you want to retire. However, you have to understand that Y needs you right now."
The reason Y could reach its current height couldn't be separated from the hard work of Flying Xu, Lu Wei, Xiao Guai, Mo Jinghao, and Ah Mu.
Without the five of them, Y wouldn't be complete.
