The FTW training room was quiet, not only them, but all the clubs that received the news fell into silence.
3U, RR, TPT.
In this year's China Division, so many excellent teams have emerged, but opportunities are waiting for no one.
Three years ago, FTW, as the only team in the Chinese division to enter the global competition, rushed to the knockout stage with the first place in the round-robin competition under the situation that everyone was not optimistic.
There are 16 teams in the knockout round, from 16 to 8, to 8 to 4, to the semi-finals and the finals.
FTW was invincible all the way, not even losing a small game, and won the world championship with a huge advantage of 3:0.
That year, the Chinese division was brilliant, and the five FTW players won the World Cup in the golden light rain, stunning the world.
Yan Jiang, Xie He, Yuan Ze, Jin Chengxuan, Close.
Five young people with unfamiliar faces welcomed the applause of players from all over the world!
FTW topped the shrine, and the seeded teams in the Chinese division changed from one to three, and entered the A-level division in one fell swoop.
In the past three years, FTW has been fragmented, and the Chinese division has fallen into a slump.
If it wasn't for Close's singles champions, they might have been relegated last year.
However, the single-player championships cannot stop the decline of the division. This year, the new competition system is launched, and the cancellation of the play-in stage also means that the battle situation is even more anxious.
A boring game cannot mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience, and the global game needs a more exciting duel.
The weak team is eliminated, and the strong team fights.
To make every game feel hearty, is the global competition that the competition committee wants!
Not only the China Division was relegated, but Japan, South Korea and North America were also relegated. The only one with two places was the European Division, which had the global championship last year.
The competition system is cruel, but it also arouses infinite fighting spirit.
Competition is inherently cruel, and the duel that leaves room for it will fall into depression.
Do your best to let go, step on the tip of the knife with every step, is the real battle!
It was Wei Xiao who broke the silence: "Fuck!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, all eyes in the training room turned to him.
Wei Xiao's eyes were dark and bright, and the fine lights hit it like a flame: "It should have been like this, the domestic competition is not good, why go to the world!"
Chen Feng: "..."
Wei Xiao: "Especially those who hide and tuck like TPT, this time I see if he dares to hide!"
A word woke the dreamer.
Wei Xiaomad's brain circuits are always different from ordinary people.
But once he accepted his idea, he suddenly became enlightened.
Indeed, the new competition system is very aggrieved for the Chinese division.
The reduction from three places to one is tantamount to a blow to the seed team.
But this is not a bad thing. The Chinese competition area, which has been in the doldrums for three years, is only because the team of gods is fragmented, and it is only because of the exodus of excellent players, so it can't cheer up
no.
Perhaps it is the three global competition places that really shackle the Chinese division.
The top three in the division can go to the global competition, so why do they have to do their best in the domestic competition
A domestic champion can't even match the top four in the world.
Instead of wasting time at home, it is better to focus on the world and give it a try in big events.
Once you have such an idea, once you don't even treat the domestic competition head-on, what will you use to fight against the strong foreign teams
Just like the regular season is the training period for the playoffs.
The domestic competition is not the training period for the global competition.
If you are fooled during the training period, what capital do you have to go to the global competition!
Perhaps the competition committee saw this and directly cancelled the cumbersome play-ins to make the battle more intense and the global competition more exciting.
The reduction of seeding teams is not limited to the Chinese division, except for the championship division, other divisions are also tense.
Domestic champions are no longer just domestic champions.
It is the key to higher glory, the gatekeeper, the skybreaker, and the forerunner to the highest glory!
Wei Xiao's heart was agitated, and the words pressed in his chest blurted out: "Isn't it bad? Three years ago, FTW went abroad and brightened the world; three years later, let us tell everyone that the champion of the Chinese division is the world champion!"
The young man's clear voice was burning with blood, burning through everyone's heart like a raging fire.
Fear, nervousness, anxiety.
fuck it!
There is no way back, is the road to victory!
Ning Zhehan stood up and said loudly, "Brother Xiao is right! The champion of the Chinese division is the world champion!"
Yue Wenle and Bai Cai also shouted.
The sluggish atmosphere in the training room was swept away, replaced by a vigorous fighting spirit.
domestic competition.
Global Knockout.
They can't lose a game!
Looking at the gang of middle-2 teenagers, Chen Feng's eyes were hot, and bursts of heat poured into his heart, which had been tortured for a long time.
three years.
Three full years.
Can FTW rebuild its glory
Chen Feng couldn't help looking at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng's eyes fell on Wei Xiao.
He still had that calm and unwavering demeanor, still calm and self-sufficient, but the pair of black eyes under his eyelids reflected a scorching sun.
Chen Feng's heart was shocked, and he took a light breath: "Be mentally prepared, the next thing is all tough battles."
Four Little Animals: "We're not afraid!"
Chen Feng: "You can't lose a game."
Four little ones: "Yeah!"
The end of an era is not the beginning of a new era.
The glory of the team of gods has faded, and a new sun is rising.
Preparing for the playoffs is not a matter of shouting.
Doubled scrims, more detailed and lengthy replays, and more precise personal training.
Originally, the training time of professional players was very long, and they could not wait to spend more time in the training room in the following days.
Lu Feng also handed over most of the work and concentrated on training.
He and Wei Xiao have a heavier burden, not only to run in 5V5, but also singles and doubles.
This year's competition system has undergone great changes, not only the big frame, but the new single and double competitions will take time to analyze and adapt.
Fortunately, the double game and 5V5 are common. FTW itself wants to take the road of linking up and wild. Close and Quiet can run in 5V5.
As for the single game, there is no need to worry about Close's personal operation. As long as he plays normally, no one in the country can stop him.
At the end of the day's training, Wei Xiao heard Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle cheering each other up.
Xiao Ningzi: "Tomorrow I'm going to dye my hair black, and I won't dye my hair unless I win the championship!"
One of the great joys of Xiao Ningzi's life is that his grandmother is gray, grandmother, blue, grandmother, purple, and he is uneasy if his lush hair doesn't look colorful. Putting this ruthless remark is also a high-spirited fight.
Yue Wenle was silent for a while, and said fiercely: "I won't eat potato chips if I don't win the championship!"
This is even more ruthless, the God of Music, whose head can break blood and can't break the potato chips, has given up his life for the championship!
Wei Xiao was overjoyed to hear it. He caught a glimpse of Xian Yucai and asked him, "How about you?"
Brother Cai: "???"
Wei Xiao told him what Xiao Ningzi and Yue Lele had to say, and Brother Cai said, "!"
Wei Xiao: "Brothers have worked so hard, so let's take a look at Brother Cai."
Bai Cai's mouth twitched.
Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Forced by Wei Xiaomad, Cai Ge also killed himself: "If I can't win the championship, I will, I will..."
Wei Xiao looked at him slowly.
Brother Cai gritted his teeth and said, "I'll hand in all the tips that the captain gave me!" Damn, just saying it, my heart splits!
Wei Xiao tasted it.
Bai Cai thought that he felt that it was not enough, and added: "And don't tip again in the future, I will squeeze watermelon juice for free, and feed it to the animal guards for free!"
Wei Xiao laughed and scolded: "You're a fucking beast." It's okay, but Brother Cai is also cruel.
After Bai Cai said the cruel words, he was so distressed that he twitched and looked at him again: "What about you!"
Wei Xiao: "I..."
Bai Cai stared at him.
Wei Xiao suddenly approached him and whispered something.
Bai Cai: "!"
Wei Xiao: "Okay."
Bai Cai: "Fuck, get out!!!"
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle, who heard the movement, looked over.
Bai Cai: "..." Shameless little madman, what a hell!
What cruel words did Wei Xiao say? Brother Cai didn't dare to repeat it, but Wei Xiao told Lu Feng after returning to the house.
He said the three little ones first, and then looked at Lu Feng eagerly: "Do you want to know what the oath I made, captain?"
Lu Feng: "..."
Wei Xiao laughed badly: "I won't tell you if you don't ask me."
Lu Feng squeezed his fingers: "Speak."
Wei Xiao licked his lips: "Kiss me."
Lu Feng: "..."
Wei Xiao leaned up and kissed him: "If I can't win the championship, I won't have sex with you for three days."
Sure enough, Xiao's mouth was speechless.
Lu Feng stared at him: "Three days?"
Wei Xiao hurriedly said: "It can't be longer!" Then he changed his words, "Besides, we are definitely the champion." Full of confidence.
Very moving.
Who doesn't like this kind of confidence that comes from within.
Lu Feng let go of his hand and asked him, "Do you know the schedule of the playoffs in the division?"
Eh? Wei Xiao just wanted to get close to him, why did he talk about this: "I generally know."
Lu Feng looked at him: "Do you know the time?"
Wei Xiao counted with his fingers, "Ten days."
From the first game to the final national finals, there are only ten days in total.
The most important ten days.
Lu Feng suddenly held his waist and gave him a long kiss.
Wei Xiao was kissed all the time, and he forgot what he said just now, until the captain whispered in his ear: "These ten days, abstinence."
Wei Xiao: "!"
Lu Feng released him: "Go to bed early."
Wei Xiao slowed down, opened his eyes wide and said, "What???"
Lu Feng did not repeat.
Wei Xiao pounced on him: "You don't fuck for ten days..."
Lu Feng couldn't hear it: "Shut up."
Wei Xiao's mouth was held down by him, and his eyes were blinking.
Lu Feng stabilized, not soft-hearted: "The training is too intensive, your body can't stand it."
Wei Xiao pursed his mouth: "Don't be so long, I can definitely stand it."
Lu Feng: "..."
Wei Xiao felt sad when he thought about it: "Abstain from any desire, you are right in front of my eyes, I..."
Lu Feng took a light breath and coaxed him: "Solo."
Wei Xiao: "!"
Lu Feng said warmly: "In these ten days, whenever you want to go solo, I will accompany you."
Wei Xiao's brain battles between heaven and man, and finally...
"Captain, you are too bad!"
Lu Feng kissed him.
Wei Xiao: "It's obviously your problem, but I have to accompany you to abstinence!"
Lu Feng was also in love with his mouth and couldn't get angry.
Wei Xiao: "If you don't be so big, don't be so long, don't have such a good waist..."
Lu Feng blocked his mouth, preventing him from continuing to speak.
Wei Xiao complained for a long time, and then hummed.
Unexpectedly, Lu Feng asked him to go to bed earlier as soon as he agreed.
Wei Xiao was startled: "It's fine if you don't have sex, you have to sleep in separate beds???"
Lu Feng: "You sleep in the master bedroom, I'm in the guest room."
Wei Xiao: "I don't!"
There was a rare compromise in Lu Feng's tone: "... I can't help sleeping with you."
Wei Xiao's heart was sweet: "Then don't bear it."
Lu Feng looked at him.
Thinking of what he promised, Wei Xiao said angrily, "Okay, okay, I won't tease it."
Lu Feng whispered: "Be obedient."
Wei Xiao said sincerely: "I really don't hook you, I just sleep."
Lu Feng smiled, kissed his forehead, and repeated, "I can't help it."
This gentle sentence made Wei Xiao's heart turn into water.
Lu Feng said good night to him again.
Wei Xiao was aggrieved: "Good night."
How can I sleep this night!
After asking for a good night kiss, Wei Xiao lay on the bed thinking of her boyfriend.
Lu Feng is next door, and the two are separated by a wall, but...
That's it!
Wei Xiao turned over and lay flat, telling himself, "It's only ten days."
Ten days of shit, one minute he starts thinking about him.
Wei Xiao took out his phone and was about to send a message to Lu Feng.
Elder Thief: Close's shoulder needs more than medical therapy.
This information jumped into his eyes, and Wei Xiao's restless heart suddenly calmed down.
I had been busy before and didn't see the news. Wei Xiao glanced at the time, only to realize that there was a delay of four hours.
Fortunately, the time in North America was acceptable, Wei Xiao returned to Yuanze: "What do you mean."
Yuanze was having lunch: "Have you finished training?"
Wei Xiao: "Well."
"Where's your captain?"
It's okay not to mention it, but the mention of Wei Xiao makes me sad: "Next door."
Yuan Ze thought about it too much, lit a cigarette and said, "I watched the recording of him and you today."
Wei Xiao: "Shen Mu?"
Yuan Ze: "Hmm."
Wei Xiao: "My captain will play." The first game was just unwilling to cooperate with Ah Shui.
Yuan Ze blew out a smoke ring: "He knows how to fart."
Wei Xiao couldn't hear anyone talking about Lu Feng, and he was about to explode. Yuan Ze held him down again with the next sentence: "He only trusts you."
One sentence went smoothly, and Wei Xiao typed: "That must be."
Although Yuan Ze didn't see anyone, he could see Wei Xiaomad's tail raised between the lines. He sighed softly, "At the age of twenty, he has finally learned to trust others."
Wei Xiao's eyebrows twitched, changed to sitting on his stomach, and typed against the head of the bed: "It's not that you are too scumbags."
Yuan Ze: "… "
Wei Xiao: "Three years ago, the team of gods didn't break up. Is my captain so miserable?"
Wei Xiao's straightforward words made Yuan Ze's cigarette smell bad.
He extinguished half of the cigarette and typed seriously: "The time and place are right for the people."
Wei Xiao understood this vague sentence, and even felt a burst of sadness in his heart.
The time and place are right and people are indispensable.
That's right, not to mention the team of gods back then, it was only himself two years ago who also left Lu Feng.
Close came to FTW, met Yan Jiang Yuanze and the others, won the world championship, and stood on the highest honor podium.
He must have changed, at least in 5v5, at least in team games, he started to try to trust.
It's a pity that the next step is fragmentation, and the attempt that was finally made completely collapsed.
Close doesn't trust his teammates, so he can't speak to the idea of acquiring FTW.
Whether you can do it yourself is a question mark.
Whether they will stay for him is also a question mark.
Close doesn't trust his teammates, he doesn't even trust himself.
Yuan Ze hesitated for a while, and finally typed a line: "I didn't understand why Yan Jiang chose WP."
Wei Xiao was stunned.
Yuan Ze continued: "WP has a bad reputation, but Yan Jiang signed the contract knowing it well, it really doesn't look like his style."
At that time, Yan Jiang signed WP, and he was scolded very fiercely in China, almost nailing Yan Jiang to the pillar of shame.
What kind of garbage team is WP
The famous Qian Chuanzi, as long as he has money, he doesn't care what the player is.
They signed Yan Jiang at a high price, and they were only interested in his fame, and the rest was nothing.
At that time, domestic fans were crazy, and they hated Yan Jiang as much as they were fans.
Not to mention that he walked ruthlessly, just because he chose WP is enough to scold him to death.
What else can I choose WP for
Only for money.
Fans also hope that their favorite players can live a prosperous life, but if they give up their beliefs and perseverance and become a tool of capital, they will be despised.
Going to WP, Yan Jiang's uncooperative domestic audience can't see it, but Yuanze knows it.
The first year of WP results was dismal, and Yan Jiang was sprayed into a dog by the European area again.
Next, WP went too far, and did not treat Yan Jiang as a human being, and tried his best to squeeze his value out.
Yan Jiang gathered evidence, a lawsuit lasted for a whole season, and finally terminated the contract and went to Y1.
In 2020, he led Y1 to the global championship.
But what was the purpose of those two years, as long as he waited, and waited another month, Yan Jiang could completely avoid WP and go to EVE with Xie He.
EVE is many times stronger than WP, at least it won't practice players.
Yuan Ze's fingers were itchy, but he didn't light his cigarette: "Yan Jiang would have known Close's intention at that time."
Knowing that he wants to acquire FTW, knowing that he is going his own way.
Wei Xiao was stunned, and his back sat straighter: "Since you know, why are you leaving?"
Yuan Ze murmured: "A seventeen-year-old boy wants to acquire a behemoth, can he do it without paying the price?"
Wei Xiao: "… "
Yuan Ze: "FTW is not a third-rate team. They have a lot of capital behind them. What they need to acquire it is not pure money figures."
No matter how smart Wei Xiao is, he is unfamiliar with these.
Experience limits thinking, and many things are beyond Wei Xiao's imagination.
Yuan Ze continued: "Close never said his family background, but his surname is Lu, S city..." There is really a famous person named Lu.
Wei Xiao had a chill on his back, and finally knew why he thought the names Lu Mingze and Qinglei were familiar.
"If it's the Lu family, Close can definitely buy FTW, but will his parents support him?"
Wei Xiao grabbed the phone tightly.
"He ran away from home and came to FTW, and then went back and begged them for FTW..."
"Yan Jiang is right."
"We don't deserve him to give up his life."
Wei Xiao's eyes were red, and his fingers trembled slightly.
Yuan Ze closed his eyes and typed hard: "His shoulder is not a strain, but a trauma."
Wei Xiao's heart was stagnant, and the dense pain spread throughout his mouth.
Yuan Ze was also very uncomfortable: "He is only seventeen years old, he has been playing for more than a year, and he usually loves sports. Where does the strain come from?"
No one knew what Lu Feng went through when he returned home.
A professional player, a 17-year-old boy who just won the championship, what has he experienced and compromised to be able to acquire FTW!
Wei Xiao's throat felt like a stone was blocked, and he couldn't say anything.
Yuan Ze sighed lightly and said slowly, "Wei Xiao, he trusts you."
The shackles framed on Lu Feng's body are more than FTW.
"Only you can help him."
