Zhou Huo spoke for others on this side, and reported work in the group on the other side.
[Manager · Zhou]: [Reminder, the relegation match will start tomorrow, although it is not our game, but it is no surprise that the team that failed the relegation tomorrow will face us in the qualifiers. You can watch the game in advance and find out opponent situation. ]
There are only twelve teams in the FOG professional league in the Chinese division. Last year, the twelve teams were Saint, NSN, Bison, ICA, Yizhan, Wanzhongshan, YT, DDF, FS, Zhanjia, MO, and Fengshui.
Each season starts with the regular season. During the regular season, these twelve teams adopt a double-round BO3 competition system and accumulate points in pairs. After the regular season, the top eight teams will enter the playoffs according to the points ranking. In the follow-up competition, while the bottom four teams missed the playoffs, they also had to prepare for the relegation match.
These four teams are also the last four teams ranked last year: FS, Battle Armor, MO, and Feng Shu.
The four teams played round robin, and the two teams with the most losses were directly relegated, which means that these two teams were officially kicked out of the FOG professional league teams in the Chinese division and relegated to the secondary league teams in the Chinese division.
There are only ten teams left in the professional league, so two seats are vacated. At this time, the main event is coming. The time for the FOG professional league team to open once a year has come.
The qualifiers for seats on two precious Pro League teams have officially begun.
This is the only chance for a sub-league team to advance to the league each year.
After the relegation match is over, all previously officially registered secondary league teams recognized by the league, plus the two teams that have just been relegated from the relegation match, will play a round-robin match, and the two teams with the highest points will be promoted to the professional league team. Twelve seats are filled, and all the remaining teams are officially classified as this year's secondary league teams. If these teams want to turn over, they will have to wait for the next year's qualifiers.
This format is a bit cruel, but it is crucial for the entire league.
According to the regulations, there are only twelve teams in the divisional league, and the quota is very valuable, but the club team can be purchased, which has a risk of being intervened by capital.
The e-sports industry has developed rapidly in recent years. It has gradually moved from a niche to the front of the stage. It has changed from being unpopular in the past to a faint popularity. It has also attracted more and more attention from capital, and there are many people who don’t understand shit. , took the club as a toy, spent huge sums of money to buy a professional league team and occupied a precious place to mess around, stuffing a bunch of shit to act as a player.
The relegation competition system has eliminated this possibility very well.
Capital can buy one or even two of the twelve teams, but he can only play one regular season at most. When the regular season ends, other professional teams will use their strength to talk and clean up the door together, and directly kick this kind of unprofessional team out of the profession. league.
The clubs that occupy the professional league team have an eight-digit base price. The first number is five, and the top is not capped. Under the huge number, they can only play a regular season without pain or itching.
Under such a competition system, under the premise of ensuring that all teams have pure bloodlines and play the game with heart, the FOG Alliance can not only stimulate the clubs to make progress, but also change their blood year by year, replacing the teams at the bottom of the level, and absorb the strong teams in the secondary league. Team, do more than one thing.
[Manager · Zhou]: [The relegation match is a double-round BO1, which can be played in one day. FS, Zhanjia, MO, Fengji, the two teams with the lowest points among these four will join us later, you guessed it … who would it be out of these four? ]
[Puppy]: [Wait, something is not right. ]
[Puppy]: […I just returned to China and I don’t know the situation in your region. Don’t scare me, am I dazzled? How did I see a team I knew very well? ]
[Yingjun Chenhuo]: [… I have not returned to China soon, and I suspect that I am also dazzled. What is the situation of the two-letter team that I don’t want to play? ]
【Puppy】: [? ]
[Coach·Old Joe]: [That's right. ]
[Puppy]: […]
[Handsome Chenhuo]: [Isn't it possible? After all, it is also a former World Championship double-champion team, and now they are all relegated to the relegation match? ]
[Coach·Lao Qiao]: [It is the players who won the double world championship, not the team. ]
[Coach·Lao Qiao]: [Being called an e-sports holy land does not mean that this club is really a champion incubation pool. No matter how many games against the sky there are, they are all played by the players of that year one by one, and it has something to do with the club itself. what relationship? ]
[Coach·Lao Qiao]: [Without the players, and no longer trying to train new players, relying on an empty shell to trick other players to recharge, what will happen? ]
[Coach·Old Joe]: [In the first year, I was able to barely make it into the playoffs. After a round trip, it was completely dead in the second year. I couldn’t even make it to the playoffs. It's just a relegation club. ]
[Puppy]: […Stop talking. ]
[Handsome Chenhuo]: [Don't talk about it, I'm a little stuck in my heart. ]
Yu Sui looked at the chat records in the group and didn't want to say a word.
After selling a few people at the beginning, Ji Yanhan wanted to sell the entire FS club, but the FS club had no players without the reputation of the double champion of the world championship. Since he was really affordable, he thought that there were no players. Ji Yanhan entangled with several parties for a long time, but he couldn't negotiate a suitable price. In the end, he left FS. He didn't sign the player's money at that time. Difficult to advance or retreat.
But at that time, FS was still the holy land of e-sports, and there were really players who just wanted to enter the championship club and transferred to FS with a passion.
In this way, FS's performance plummeted in the next year. Relying on the players who had transferred in before, they stumbled into the playoffs with enthusiasm, and then they were eliminated in the playoffs. The four starters directly transferred three. Ji Yan After a year, Han had freed up some funds in his hand and bought a few more powerful players. He himself began to watch the team's operations, but when something was scattered, it was scattered.
This year, Ji Yanhan did his best, managed hard, worked hard to sign new players, and cultivated a second team, but the FS results were not as good as the previous year. , has now become a relegation team.
FS means different things to Yu Sui, old Qiao Chenhuo and Puppy.
FS is a club founded by Yu Sui and Lao Qiao, and it is the first club of Chenhuo Puppy.
What Lao Qiao said was right, the game was played by the players, and it was the four of them who made the two letters FS into a nightmare for the four major divisions in their lives.
Only two years.
Everyone doesn't feel sorry for Ji Yanhan, but they can't let go of the fact that the team that they have poured all their blood into has withered.
Chen Huo and Puppy felt a little suffocated in their hearts, and stopped wrangling in the group. Old Qiao seemed to vent after saying a series of words and stopped talking. After a few minutes of silence in the group, it shook again.
[Manager Zhou]: [Aiya, what's going on with this atmosphere? Don't worry, FS ranked the highest among these four teams in the regular season, and there is a high chance that they will not fail in the relegation match, and they will definitely succeed in relegation. Don't worry. ]
[Manager · Zhou]: [And they still have double insurance. Even if they fail to relegation, they can continue to play in the budget match. There are still two places to return to the professional league. ]
[Manager Zhou]: [It's not that I'm mocking the secondary league teams. Really, they still have a wall with the professional league. Even the bottom team in the professional league is like a father beating a son. There is basically no suspense. ]
[Manager · Zhou]: [FS now has double insurance, it is 99% impossible to be downgraded, what are you blocking? ]
[Puppy]: [Knowing that FS can't be relegated, but entering the relegation match is enough, what is the relegation match? I hadn't heard of it when I was in FS, and I didn't even know what format the relegation match was. ]
[Yingjun Chenhuo]: [Indeed... I only found out about the relegation competition system just after checking it. ]
[Manager · Zhou]: [Being at the bottom of the 12 teams, that's the kind of treatment, it's good to get used to it. To be honest, it's better for you to be uncomfortable for yourself rather than for others. ]
[Manager · Zhou]: [After the qualifiers are successfully promoted, you will officially be in the same competition area as your old club. ]
[Manager Zhou]: [In the future, there will be more opportunities to meet in the regular playoffs and other messy games. Get used to it in advance, and don't hurt the spring and autumn every time. ]
[Puppy]: [Okay. ]
[Handsome Chenhuo]: [Okay, wait for the relegation match tomorrow. ]
At twelve noon the next day, the relegation match officially started.
Four teams double-round BO1, a total of 12 small games, each team earns one point for each small game won.
The average time of each small game is 40 minutes, and it will be evening to play all these 12 small games. At first, the "love each other family" group did not pay attention to it. According to the rules of previous years, the basic failure of relegation is The two teams at the end of the crane in the regular season are this year's MO team and the Fengshui team.
But this year, something unexpected happened.
The Zhanjia team, whose regular season record was second to FS, did not know if they had undergone special training during this period. At the beginning of the game, both the mental state and personal ability of all members were much stronger than those during the regular season last year, and they grabbed three points at the beginning.
The mental state of the FS players is a bit lax. Everyone thinks that they will be fine in the relegation match, but they first lost a small game of the armor and lost a small game of the MO team, and it was a bit dangerous in an instant. At that time, FS only took two points from the Fengji team, and it was already on the edge of the cliff.
Yu Sui also only started watching the relegation match at that time.
Twelve small games, only one game left, FS vs. MO.
The Zhanjia team holds five points and has been successfully relegated, while the Fengshao team has only two points, and has also failed to maintain the relegation.
Only FS and MO are left with suspense.
MO is now three points, FS two points.
If the FS can win the MO, then the points of both sides will be the same, enter the extra round, and the winning team will be relegated successfully.
If FS loses MO, it will be demoted together with Fengji.
The news in the group kept shaking.
[Handsome Chenhuo]: Fuck, the last game is the last game, why am I more nervous than my own game
[Puppy]: The first few games of FS were too rubbish. Is this the mentality of the whole team? The operation is deformed and can't be seen.
[Handsome Chenhuo]: What should I do, what should I do, I'm so nervous!
[Manager Zhou]: What are you nervous about
[Handsome Chenhuo]: Fuck! That was my old club, my alma mater, my first team!
【Puppy】：+1
[Coach·Old Joe]: ... To be honest, I'm also nervous. Although this is embarrassing, I really don't want FS to fail relegation.
Yu Sui didn't look at the group, he quietly looked at the computer screen, the last game had already started.
Five minutes into the game, Yu Sui let out a sigh of relief and closed the game live interface.
There is absolutely no chance of winning.
At least three of the four players have collapsed mentality. They are all players in the professional league. It is tantamount to being humiliated to play the relegation match, not to mention that the relegation match may fail. That would be so pretty.
The greater the pressure, the more nervous, the more nervous, the more mistakes. In the first five minutes, the two FS assaulters have already given each other a head. It is a taboo that two assaulters die together. There is only one medic on the front line, which is equivalent to It is to hand over the map of his own home to MO.
While the two FS assaulters were waiting for their resurrection, their own map was cleared by the two MO assaulters. This opening was too exciting, and it was almost impossible to play.
Yu Sui opened the game client for solo queue, and glanced at the group twenty minutes later.
[Puppy]: [Fuck me, I can really fail the relegation! ! ! ]
[Handsome Chenhuo]: [No, I really want to ask those two FS assaulters, how about you two playing with hammers? ! ]
[Puppy]: [Is the pressure too much? ]
[Coach·Lao Qiao]: [Which professional player has little pressure on the field? ]
[Manager Zhou]: [No, why are you angry? Are you still in love with Ji Yanhan? Why do you still feel sorry for him? ]
[Handsome Chenhuo]: [Who cares about him? ! ! ! I feel sorry for myself! ! ! ]
[Hang Jun Chen Huo]: [I used to be able to blow a b, saying that I made his debut in FS. Who heard this before and couldn't kneel down and call him Dad? ]
[Handsome Chenhuo]: [What about now? I said I debuted from FS! Others will only say oh, the team that failed to relegation, oh fuck! ]
[Manager Zhou]: [hhhhhh]
[Handsome Chenhuo]: [Really... alas. ]
[Manager · Zhou]: [They still have to play the qualifiers with us. It's not a big problem to play back again. After all, Feng Shuo is a real dish. In the end, we should be promoted together with FS. Oh Fake, this is also Disgusting enough, I don't want to advance with Ji Yanhan at all. ]
[Manager · Zhou]: [Okay, the game is over, let's rest, it's our turn soon. ]
[British drama Chen Huo]: [ok. ]
[Puppy]: [ok. ]
[Evil]: [Will Yanhan go in the preselection season? ]
[Manager · Zhou]: [Probably, he went to the scene to watch the relegation match, and he should be in a hurry. What do you ask this for? ]
[Evil]: [It's okay. ]
[Manager Zhou]: [Evil, let's talk first, don't make trouble. ]
【Evil】: [… I’m sick? ]
[Evil]: [I also don't want FS to be downgraded, believe it or not. ]
[Handsome Chenhuo]: [That is, how can we compare after the downgrade! ]
【Evil】: […]
Yu Sui looked at the chat records in the group, and after a while, he clicked on Shi Luo's business card and clicked "Add as friend".
A minute later, Yu Sui's phone vibrated, and Shi Luo passed the friend invitation.
Yu Sui clicked on the chat interface, hesitating what to say in the first sentence, while hesitating, Shi Luo sent a message.
[Evil]: [I asked for tickets for the qualifiers. ]
【Evil】: [… You are in the game. ]
Yu Sui looked at the phone and typed.
[Whisper]: [Wear a mask and sunglasses. ]
Yu Sui's phone vibrated, and Shi Luo sent another message.
[Evil]: [Preliminary match... Don't be like FS and suddenly become evil. ]
Yu Sui typed slowly: [No. ]
[Whisper]: [Have you packed your luggage? ]
[Whisper]: [After the qualifiers are successfully promoted, I will pick you up. ]
