Rise Chapter 162: Shock
China, Shanghai, E-Sports Association Branch.
Fang Hao, who was sitting in the president's office, took the phone, and while talking with Chu Fangnan on the other end of the phone, he looked out the window leisurely.
The night is vast, and there are occasional stars, blinking brightly.
The president of the Shanghai E-Sports Association of China couldn't help but be affected. There was a sigh and emotion of the passing of time and the vicissitudes of life.
The year.
The year.
Four years ago, he moved from DOTA to the professional gaming field responsible for the League of Legends in the national service. At that time, the national service DOTA professional circle had achieved unprecedented brilliance, even if the great gods retired and left, they still remained. It has established their national service DOTA professional circle's unbeatable status in the world.
At that time, the League of Legends was just a Moba-type e-sports game that was just emerging.
At that time, he was the vice president of the Shanghai E-Sports Association branch. When he was assigned a task to be in charge of LOL, many people in the association were not optimistic about the new field he was responsible for.
But he threw himself in and started working.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. At the beginning of the work progress, he encountered too many difficulties and resistances. Back then, the domestic LOL professional e-sports was almost a blank, and there was no way to get the formal professional events under the connection. Very well developed.
Venue, sponsorship, personnel, equipment...
Wait, wait, it's all problems.
Fortunately, at that time, the few professional players in the national server, like him, had a sincere enthusiasm for this emerging game, and they continued to work hard in such a difficult era and under such a difficult environment. Little by little, results and results were achieved.
That's why there was the subsequent World Finals. A team like that in their national service became one of the only two-line teams in the Asian division and flew to London, England, to participate in the finals of the S1 season.
……
"At that time... I heard the news that our team won the finals qualification, I really said that it was ‘overjoyed’, right—"
Chu Fangnan couldn't help but sigh.
Fang Hao laughed:
"Yes, it is really not easy. The hard work pays off, and it is always worthy of excitement and joy."
But at that time... even if their team made it to the finals, it was by no means smooth sailing.
Because Fang Hao also clearly remembers how serious disputes were caused in the World E-Sports Association because of such a problem.
In my memory, those scenes and the angry and passionate voices of disputes still seem to be in front of my eyes, reverberating in my ears:
"I’m the vice chairman of the China E-Sports Association! Maple’s age issue was reported in our LPL league at that time, and it was retained as a special case. We had reported this matter to World E-Sports earlier. Association!"
"You must give an explanation for this matter today!"
"Without giving a processing result today, none of us will walk out of the door here!"
The picture in the memory flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and Fang Hao couldn't help but smile again.
The excitement of the year.
The outspoken struggle back then.
He even directly slapped the bosses at the headquarters of the World E-Sports Association in the headquarters office of the World E-Sports Association.
The thrilling memories at that time have become memories worth remembering now.
And the team that they had high hopes for did not disappoint all the way to the end.
It's a pity...
It was one step away from the championship of the S1 season.
Fang Hao couldn't help but shook his head slightly when he thought of this, and he also had regrets and regrets in his heart.
The team of that year, the five young players, each of them is absolutely talented and strong, and they have the strength to be absolutely qualified to compete for the final championship trophy, but it is just a little bit of luck. , Will eventually lose out with regret.
Now, three of the five people have left. Although the remaining two are still fighting in the professional circle, only one fat man Tian Tian has achieved results and became the number one player in the national service. "Fun God".
……
Actually, in Fang Hao's view, it was definitely not the fat man who had the most talent in those days.
Even in this finals, Ueda Tian has already played such a stunning performance in the world. Among the five players on the team that year, his talent and potential can only be ranked in the top three.
The second is their ADC.
The first one is the 15-year-old talented mid-single boy who was at the center of the dispute--
Maple.
"If those people in the past are still working in the professional e-sports circle, the current lineup of professional players in the national service must be at least twice as strong—"
Chu Fangnan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Fang Hao nodded slightly:
"Perhaps, even among the seven kings and the four emperors, there should be one or two more places in the national clothes."
Fang Hao couldn't help but sighed.
The defeat in the finals of the year was a real blow to the young Maple. Such a cruel reality made it difficult for the talented mid-laner to face and accept it. Leaving the professional e-sports arena early.
Otherwise...
With the strength that Maple was able to defeat Phoenix head-on, and the person who is now the head of the Four Emperors, he can fight head-on without losing the slightest bit of strength--
Today's four e-sports emperors must have his place.
Fang Hao shook his head and asked casually:
"Will you finish the two teams in the game later?"
"Many people should wait to go home to watch the live broadcast of KG playing SSK tonight. It shouldn't be delayed, right?"
Chu Fangnan nodded: "Well, the first group was the 13th High School West High School. It is over. Now the second group is already in progress. It should be the Shanghai Foreign Affiliated Middle School who will advance to the semi-finals." /
"Shangwai High School? The runner-up team last year, right?" Fang Hao raised his eyebrows, but his attention was somewhat attracted by the other team Chu Fangnan mentioned: "However, the 13th High Team is this year. New team? I didn’t seem to have any impression last year—"
……
In the venue of the Shanghai Sixteenth School League, the second group of the quarterfinals on the stage will soon come to an end.
Because the strength of the Shanghai Foreign Affiliated Middle School is indeed too strong.
It is worthy of being the runner-up team last year. Both in terms of overall strength and tactical execution, they completely overwhelmed their opponents. With that fierce style of play, the first game was only It took 25 minutes to easily win.
At this moment, the second ongoing game was also in the early ten minutes, and the situation on the scene had already fallen under the control of the purple army of the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Affiliated Middle School.
Below the stage, all the members of the Thirteen High E-Sports Team in the front row of players’ guest seats were solemn and solemn.
They all feel the tremendous pressure.
Shangwai Attached Middle School......
It's stronger than last year.
In other words, the strength of the e-sports team last year was too weak, and they were easily crushed and defeated without being able to feel the true horror of the opponent; and the current 13th high team has made significant progress. And promotion, only really began to feel the terrifying strength of this runner-up team last year.
"Can you really win—"
Liu Yue couldn't help but murmured.
Shen Ze and Wei Dong were also silent.
Even Ouyang closed his mouth.
Lin Feng looked at the OB picture on the spectator screen on the stage with an extremely serious expression, and made serious judgments for a long time:
"This team..."
"Very strong!"
"But—" Lin Feng suddenly changed his words, his tone was full of resolute fighting spirit: "We still have to win!"
Backstage at this moment~IndoMTL.com~Chu Fangnan just hung up the phone.
Just as he was about to take a break, a staff member of the e-sports association walked over quickly and handed a piece of information to Chu Fangnan:
"Brother Chu, this is the information of the top eight teams."
"The member information of the 13th high team you want should be in it too."
"Okay, hard work." Chu Fangnan smiled and nodded to his subordinates, and then after the subordinate staff turned and left, he lowered his head and began to look through the team information in his hand.
He quickly turned to the page of the Thirteen High Team.
Then, his gaze randomly scanned the content of this page.
And when he scanned a certain line of text in the data...
As if seeing something, Chu Fangnan's face suddenly showed an incredibly shocking expression——
(This, this is!?)
