China, Shanghai, E-sports Association Branch.

Fang Hao, who was sitting in the president's office, held the phone and talked to Chu Fangnan on the other end of the phone, while looking out the window.

The night is vast, with occasional stars and flashing brightly.

The president of the China Shanghai E-sports Association couldn't help but be moved, and there was a sigh and emotion that time flew away and changed.

then.

then.

Four years ago, he transferred from DOTA to the professional e-sports field in charge of the national service League of Legends. At that time, the national service DOTA professional circle had already achieved unprecedented glory. Even if those great gods retired, they still established their unsuccessful position in the world.

League of Legends at that time was just a newly emerging Moba e-sports game.

At that time, he was the vice president of the Shanghai E-sports Association branch. When he was assigned a task to be responsible for LOL, many people in the association were not optimistic about the new area he was responsible for.

But he still devoted himself to work.

Everything was difficult at the beginning. At the beginning of his work progress, he encountered too many difficulties and resistances. At that time, the domestic LOL professional e-sports was almost blank, and even the offline regular professional competitions could not be carried out well.

Venue, sponsorship, personnel, equipment...

Wait, wait, it's all a problem.

Fortunately, the few professional players in the national server at that time had the same sincere enthusiasm for this emerging game as him. In such difficult times and in such difficult environments, they continued to work hard, achieved results bit by bit, and achieved results.

That's why the World Finals came later. There was a team like that in their national server that became one of the only two teams in the Asian competition area and flew to London, England to participate in the finals of the S1 season.

...

"At that time... I heard that our team had won the finals qualifying spot, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was 'overjoyed'-"

Chu Fangnan couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Hao smiled:

"Yes, that's really not easy. If the effort pays off, it will always be worthy of excitement and joy."

But at that time...even if their team reached the finals, it would have been smooth sailing.

Because Fang Hao also clearly remembered how serious disputes caused by such a problem were caused by the World E-sports Association.

In my memory, those scenes and those angry and irritating disputes seemed to be still near before my eyes, and echoed in my ears:

"I am the vice chairman of the China E-sports Association! Maple's age was reported in our LPL League at that time, and it was preserved as a special case. We have reported this matter to the World E-sports Association earlier!"

"You must give an explanation for this matter today!"

"If we don't give a result of the treatment today, none of us will step out of the door here!"

The scene in my memory flashed through my mind like a lantern, and Fang Hao couldn't help but smile again.

The inspiration of that year.

The blunt arguments that year.

He even slapped the table and scolded the bosses at the headquarters of the World E-sports Association in the headquarters office.

The thrilling moment at that time has become a memory worth remembering now.

And the team that they had high hopes for did not disappoint their hopes and fought to the end.

It's a pity...

It's one step away from the championship of the S1 season.

Thinking of this, Fang Hao couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and he felt regret and regret in his heart.

The five young players in the team back then were definitely extremely talented and capable. Their strength was definitely qualified to compete for the final championship trophy. It was just a little bit of luck that they would eventually lose.

Now, three of the five people have left. Although the remaining two are still struggling in the professional circle, only one fat man Tian Tian has achieved results and has become the top laner of the national server "Yuan Shen".

...

In fact, in Fang Hao's opinion, the one with the most outstanding talent back then was definitely not the fat man.

Even in this finals, Ueda Ten had already performed such a stunning performance, among the five players of the team that year, his talent and potential could only rank in the top three.

The second is their ADC.

The first one is the 15-year-old genius mid laner boy who was at the center of the dispute that year—

Maple.

"If those people were still working hard in the professional e-sports circle back then, the current professional player lineup in the national server would at least double the strength-"

Chu Fangnan couldn't help but sigh like this.

Fang Hao nodded slightly:

"Perhaps, among the Seven Kings and Four Emperors, one or two more places for the national server should be added."

As he said that, Fang Hao couldn't help but sigh again.

The defeat in the finals that year may have been a heavy blow to the young Maple. Such cruel reality made it difficult for the talented mid-lane boy to face and accept, and he left the professional e-sports field so early.

otherwise……

With Maple's ability to defeat Phoenix in the past, and the person who is now the leader of the Four Emperors can resist head-on without any disadvantages-

The four e-sports emperors today must have a place.

After his thoughts retracted from reality, Fang Hao shook his head and asked casually:

"Are you going to finish the two groups of your game later?"

"Many people should still have to wait to go home to watch the live broadcast of KG's SSK game tonight, so it shouldn't be delayed, right?"

Chu Fangnan nodded: "Well, the first group was the Thirteenth High School just now, and it has ended. Now the second group is already in progress. It should be the Shangwu High School to advance to the semi-finals."

"Shangwai High School? The runner-up team last year?" Fang Hao raised his eyebrows, but his attention was attracted by another group of teams mentioned by Chu Fangnan: "However, the Thirteenth High Team is the new team this year? I don't think I've had any impression of it last year-"

...

In the venue of the Shanghai Sixteen Schools League, the second group of the quarterfinals on the stage is about to come to an end soon.

Because the strength of Shangwai High School is indeed too strong.

It is worthy of being the runner-up team last year. It completely defeated the opponent in terms of overall strength and tactical execution. Coupled with the extremely sharp playing style, it took only 25 minutes for the first game to win easily.

At this moment, the second game in progress was also in the early ten minutes, and the situation on the scene had fallen under the control of the purple side legion of the Shanghai Foreign High School Affiliated High School team.

In the audience, everyone in the 13th High E-sports Club team in the front row of the players looked solemn and solemn.

They all felt a huge pressure.

Shangwai High School...

Stronger than last year.

In other words, the strength of the e-sports club team last year was too weak, and they were completely unable to feel the real terror of their opponents and were easily crushed and defeated; and the current 13th High Team has made obvious progress and improvement, and it has only begun to truly feel the terrifying strength of this runner-up team last year.

"Can you really win-"

Liu Yue couldn't help but murmur.

Chen Ze, Wei Dong and others were silent and silent.

Even Ouyang shut up.

Lin Feng looked at the OB screen on the stage with a very serious and focused expression, and made a serious judgment after a long time:

"This team..."

“Very strong!”

"But--" Lin Feng suddenly changed his tone, his tone full of determination and determination: "We still want to win!"

At this time, Chu Fangnan had just hung up the phone in the backstage.

Just as he was about to take a break, an e-sports association staff came over quickly and handed a piece of information to Chu Fangnan:

"Brother Chu, this is the information of this quarter-final team."

"The information of the members of the Thirteenth High Team you want should be in there too."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Chu Fangnan nodded to his subordinates with a smile, and then after the subordinate staff turned around and left, he lowered his head and began to look through the team information in his hand.

Soon he turned to the page of the Thirteenth High Team.

Then, his eyes casually swept across the information content on this page.

And when he scanned a line of text in the information...

As if he had seen something, Chu Fangnan's face suddenly showed an incredible shock.

(This, this is!?)
