Rise

Just as An Xin said, Lin Feng had indeed been to Guangzhou.

It was still the S1 season of the national server, and the national professional e-sports circle of the entire League of Legends game had not yet truly developed and established a complete league system. Shanghai was not yet recognized as the base camp of the LOL professional e-sports circle. .

At that time, there was not even a formal LPL league. Lin Feng and several other teammates on the team had just formed such a new team, and they were looking for games to participate in.

Guangzhou is one of the stops.

It's just that the time between these things and now is too long. With someone's memory, it is normal for them to forget such a thing.

However, after being reminded by An Xin, Lin Feng suddenly recalled it.

"Yes, that seems to be the case!"

Lin Feng slapped his forehead and suddenly realized:

"At that time, I was still going to Guangzhou by train with Fatty, Aqiu, Shiyi and Amo. We still lived in a shabby little hotel. We had to bargain with the boss even to go to the Internet cafe for training... Hahahaha, it was really real at that time How miserable!”

Talking about the hard working history back then, Lin Feng himself smiled heartlessly.

Tang Bingyao and Zhang Hao on the side couldn't help but open their mouths after hearing this. They never expected that in the earliest days of the Chinese professional e-sports circle, professional players would be so depressed.

Zeng Rui was also silent.

Compared to Tang Bingyao and Zhang Hao, he still has some understanding of the early history of the Chinese LoL professional e-sports circle.

that time……

It's really bitter.

Every professional player, even the strongest ones back then, who were able to stand at the top of the pyramid, has all aspects of conditions that are far incomparable to those of an ordinary professional player today.

When there was no sponsorship, I lived in a rented house and lived a miserable life eating instant noodles and drinking porridge. If I didn't have money to buy a computer, I could only go to an Internet cafe to open a few machines and train together.

When going out for a competition, you should tighten your belt to save money and take the cheapest bus or train to the city where the competition is held.

In other cities, some of the poorest teams don’t even have money to stay in hotels.

I just stayed up all night at the Internet cafe to make do with it, but when I got up early the next day, I still had to brace myself for the game with panda eyes.

But even in those times...

In their national professional e-sports circle, many world-class professional players have still emerged. They were not affected by the bad and harsh environment at that time, and they were still able to perform in the world professional competitions in no way inferior to those of Europe and the United States. team's results.

That is... something that makes all the current professional e-sports players in the national server feel ashamed of themselves.

Back then, that group of people were really fighting for their dreams.

Zeng Rui looked at Lin Feng, with a complicated light shining in his eyes:

When he saw this information before, he couldn't help but admire the professional players in the S1 season.

But he never thought...

One day, the legendary talented mid laner Maple, who was recognized as the most dazzling in the Chinese server in the S1 season, would actually stand in front of him like this.

It really makes people feel a sense of trance and unreality.

Especially when Zeng Rui thought that the... partner and teammate standing in front of him was actually the world's top mid laner who was able to fight Han Shihao to the final battle in the S1 World Finals. His mood couldn't help but tremble twice.

That was Han Shihao.

Nowadays, the God team "Dawn Star", recognized as the strongest mid laner in the national server and one of the "Seven Kings of the World", was almost suppressed and beaten by the world's number one mid laner. He said he didn't have much ability to fight back.

(then……)

(Is the guy in front of me that strong?)

At this moment, Zeng Rui couldn't help but feel another wave of emotion.

…

"Hahaha but it's different now!"

"This time we go to Guangzhou to play in the top 36, and the Shanghai E-Sports Association will provide all-inclusive air tickets and accommodation!"

“I’ve made a lot of money! I’ve made a lot of money!”

Someone's beaming voice completely destroyed Zeng Rui's exciting mood in one second.

His eyelids twitched slightly, Zeng Rui took a deep breath, and then confirmed a reality with an expressionless face:

Sure enough, you shouldn't have the slightest admiration for someone.

"However, we can't be careless this time."

An Xin chimed in with a smile: "No team that can enter the top thirty-six will be an underdog. Even if it's bad, it probably won't be much weaker than a team like Shanghai University of Finance."

Zeng Rui adjusted his mood, subconsciously rubbed his forehead and temples, and nodded;

"Well, this year's top thirty-six...is probably a bit higher than the average of previous years."

"Beijing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing University, Zhongzheng University, Guangzhou Foreign Studies University, and Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, these are all established and strong teams in previous college leagues."

"besides"

"They are the other two teams representing the Electrical Association like us."

Having said this, Zeng Rui paused and continued:

"Beijing Electrician Association team and Guangzhou Electrical Association team."

…

It is also a representative team of high school students appointed by the E-Sports Association, but for the Beijing E-Sports Association representative team, Lin Feng and others have very little information.

"It is said that the Beijing E-Sports Association is hiding it very closely."

Rubbing his temples again, Zeng Rui said calmly:

"I asked President Chu specifically, and he said that it is almost difficult to get even the video data of the Beijing Electric Association team in the North China Division. The game we have watched now only has one and a half rounds, and the opponent Two substitutes were almost always put on the field, and the real core top and mid laners never played.”

"So...it's hard to analyze."

"I can only confirm that they are really strong."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask: "What about the Guangzhou Electrical Association team? Don't they have any information?"

Zeng Rui raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this:

"That's not true."

"On the contrary, the Guangzhou Electric Association team seems to be acting in a very high-profile manner. It may be that they are very confident in the strength of their own team and don't even bother to hide anything."

An Xin nodded: "Well, the champion of the South China Division seems to be the Guangzhou Electric Association Team. They won 3-0, and they have a lot of momentum."

Zeng Rui said "hmm" and continued:

"The core ace in their team is the foreign aid mid laner Glee invited from South Korea. You all know the strength evaluation index. It is firmly at the A+ level. If you compare it with our LPL professional players, it is probably not as good purely in terms of operation. It will be inferior.”

After another pause, Zeng Rui turned to look at Lin Feng:

"However, such a character shouldn't be a big problem for us, right?"

When Lin Feng saw Zeng Rui looking at him, he immediately swore to his chest and promised:

"No problem! I will definitely beat him up! Hahaha, you all can rest assured in the middle."

Ignoring someone's second half of bragging, Zeng Rui turned to look at Tang Bingyao:

"The other part may be what Tangtang and I need to pay attention to."

"I just heard the news from Chairman Chu recently that the Guangzhou Electric Association team has temporarily recruited a new ADC, who is also a Korean foreign aid. According to Chairman Chu... the strength evaluation index of the Korean ADC player should also be there. At least A- or above, even A-level.”

Tang Bingyao was startled when she heard this, then nodded her head vigorously:

"good."

"Next, I will train hard."

Lin Feng interrupted out of curiosity: "Hey, when did Brother Chu say this? Why didn't I know?"

Zeng Rui replied expressionlessly:

"As for the call President Chu made to you yesterday, you were going out to buy late-night snacks and you thought it was too troublesome to listen to the team information, so you gave your phone to me directly."

Lin Feng was in a daze: "Huh? Is that so?"

Zeng Rui continued to take a deep breath and adjust his mood of wanting to hit someone:

"so……"

"There's another thing about the Zhejiang University team that you probably don't know yet."

Updates are coming, please roll around asking for red envelopes and flowers! Then go away and sleep...
