Former FTW
Coach Chen Feng simply asked nonsense. Looking at the entire glory circle, who would not want to know the FTW of the year in the new generation
FTW four years ago, what a glorious scene, not only in the Chinese competition area, but also in 16 competition areas around the world, whoever hears FTW will be nervous.
In the e-sports circle, there are top players every year, outstanding talents every year, and legendary players leading the team to myth every year.
It's not uncommon to have one every year, and it's an exaggeration to have five a year in the same team.
Looking at the glorious history of this matter, there is also one and only such case.
FTW is an old and strong team, and it attracted many outstanding players with its qualifications.
The first to get in right was the captain of the year, Yan Jiang, who was in the auxiliary position.
This was followed by ADC Kim Sung Hyun, who was introduced from the South Korean division.
Then there was the mid-laner Xie He, who terminated the contract with the domestic giants at the time.
In the end, it was Yuanze who stood out from the second team. He was very funny when he debuted and likes to rub people on the ground.
This is FTW before Close joined the team. At that time, Chen Feng was in the jungle position.
Chen Feng announced his retirement after only one season. This season is more tiring than the previous five seasons. Coach Chen is too old and can't afford it.
So FTW found Close, who was still in the youth academy at the time.
A sixteen-year-old boy who looks like a star and looks pampered at first sight.
That's right...
Close joined the team before his seventeenth birthday, and only turned seventeen after the start of the competition.
At such a young age, it stands to reason that FTW cannot sign without parental consent.
But at the time, Close was too bright.
Excellent operation, strong consciousness, flexible brain and extremely high savvy.
Not to mention this face, even if it is signed as a vase, it has extremely high commercial value.
At that time, FTW had already started to behave unruly, and even cheated on Close, got the signature of his parents, and let him join the team.
In just half a year, FTW has soared into the sky.
The regular season Grand Slam, the playoffs were all victories, and the domestic finals crushed the runner-up that year to a mental breakdown.
A good final, like a passerby game.
The runner-up who was shaved by 3:0, then slumped for a whole season, and didn't stand up again until he changed his starter.
It’s okay to dominate the country and dominate the country. After rushing abroad, these five people are still stunned.
The global competition is divided into play-in, knockout and finals.
The play-in round is a wheel battle. The three seeded teams in the sixteenth division have a total of forty-eight teams.
At that time, FTW set a record in the history of glory in the play-in match, with 20 consecutive victories, and finally rushed into the knockout stage with 30 points, ranking first.
The first in points has the opportunity to choose an opponent. In the knockout round, FTW met the gods, killed the gods, met the Buddhas and killed the Buddhas, and reached the top four all the way.
At the global finals, FTW was still imposing, and it was not at all cowardly in the away game, and was convinced of last year's championship and runner-up.
2017 is the year that belongs to FTW.
FTW won the team championship, the individual championship, and only the duos were missing because they didn't sign up at all.
What's even more ridiculous is the finals of the individual competition. It is the FTW pair who are competing for the championship.
The top unit Ze and the middle unit Xie He.
In the end, Yuanze was slightly better and won the championship. Xie He was the runner-up.
Since that year, the competition committee has changed the registration rules, and a team can only register for one single player.
Watching "infighting" at the global finals is too much!
This is the FTW of the year, magnificent and glorious, the team of gods that has still made the global glory circle unforgettable in the past four years.
It's a pity that such a team ended up in pieces.
After winning such impressive results, Kim Sung Hyun's contract expired and he returned to South Korea.
It's nothing, these five people are strong enough, and the "reduction" will also give other teams a way to survive.
Who knows, the next month will be turbulent.
Yan Jiang transfers.
Xie He then left.
Yuanze also went to the North American Division.
In the FTW lobby where the World Cup, which represents the highest glory, is placed, there is only one Close left.
Team of God disbanded.
FTW goes to the end.
There are different opinions in the glory circle about the reason for the disbanding of this team.
When it first came out, small papers could have millions of words.
Some people say that the team is too strong, there is no rival, and the man who has won the temple by virtue of this brilliant record went to Dugu to seek defeat.
Some people also say that it is an internal discord. These people have been in frequent conflicts for a long time. They are all super god players.
Some people even said that because of Close, FTW was too partial to this newcomer, and even handed him an important jungler position. The other players were not convinced and planted the seeds of conflict.
…
…
Later, when Close bought FTW and became the new owner, there were even more malicious speculations.
What Close is just a pretense, the man behind him is a trader.
What is there? There is obviously something wrong with the face of Close. Nine times out of ten, it is someone who has taken a fancy to it.
What kind of sponsor bought a team for Close to play, and other players left early because of disgust.
These remarks back then made Chen's atmosphere so hot that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights!
It's not the party involved, I don't know it, how can it be so malicious just by guessing!
They don't know anything, why insult Close like this
The one who has done the most for the entire team and everyone is this boy who just turned eighteen years old!
Chen Feng was reluctant to mention those things, because when he mentioned it, he couldn't hold back the distress that spread throughout his chest and the nausea that kept surging upwards.
Disgusting for the ignorant, distressed for Close.
But he's going to say it today.
Because Wei Xiao should know.
Chen Feng closed his eyes and said, "There was a problem with FTW's management back then."
What he wants to say is the truth hidden in the depths that the world does not know is the real reason for the dissolution of FTW.
"Jin Chengxuan has long decided to leave," Chen Feng said. "At that time, Jin Chengxuan would come to FTW and it was also from his country... Well, he always wanted to go back, and everyone was happy for him when he could go back."
Although e-sports clubs do not respect national borders, being able to return to their own country is always more peaceful. Everyone can understand Kim Sung-hyun's choice.
Chen Feng took a light breath and continued: "The management of FTW at that time wanted to withdraw from the e-sports circle."
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai, who were listening, were stunned.
Bai Cai asked, "When it's time to withdraw?"
Chen Feng calmly said: "It has reached the peak, and the only thing left is downhill."
Wei Xiao was so astute, he guessed it at once: "They want to sell the starting lineup at that time?"
Chen Feng closed his eyes: "Yes."
The Team of God is too dazzling, and the abilities of each player are too top-notch.
A team from the regular season, almost all wins to the global championship, what is the concept
It is tantamount to a student getting full marks in all exams from the first grade of primary school to doctoral students.
This is so impractical.
It directly affects the balance of the entire system.
The competition committee began to thoroughly investigate FTW. FTW can guarantee the real level of the players and the authenticity of the results, but the operation of this club cannot stand the inspection of various aspects.
After some loopholes were uncovered, the management thought of "retreat with rapidity".
It has reached its peak, and it is impossible to break through the current results after that.
Instead of gradually declining, it's better to...
Countless teams have given high prices, and as long as FTW nods, they will take people away in minutes.
The team of gods at that time, who is not arrogant
How could they bear the despicable behavior of the club
Yuan Ze first broke his face with the club, then Xie He, then Yan Jiang, only Clsoe said to them: "Don't worry, give me some time."
What can an eighteen-year-old boy do
The brothers couldn't bear to hurt him, and coaxed him perfunctorily until...
Chen Feng said in a hoarse voice, "No one thought that Close actually bought FTW."
Bai was stunned.
Wei Xiao's eyes were red: "But they're all gone!"
Chen Feng's nose tipped with pantothenic acid: "Yes."
No one knows how Close did it, and no one knows what Close compromised with the family. In short, he bought FTW and got the ownership.
He wants to keep his teammates and wants to give them a free FTW.
But Yuanze and the others had already signed contracts and went to other teams.
In the face of this disaster, everyone flinched.
The indomitable team of gods on the field and the indomitable FTW starters on the championship stage made the choice to give up in the face of the disaster after victory.
Give up FTW, give up the crowning glory they have worked so hard for, give up the whole team.
The only one who chose to persist was Close.
The only one facing the disaster head-on was Close, who had just turned eighteen.
Couldn't the team of gods at the time be able to buy FTW
They may not be able to do it alone, and the three of them have a great hope of winning capital by virtue of their own reputation.
But they never thought about it.
I never thought about protecting FTW, I never thought about protecting my teammates, and I never thought about protecting countless fans who believed in them.
When I learned that Close became the new owner of FTW—
Yuanze has gone to North America, and Yan Jiang and Xie He have gone to Europe.
God's team, collapsed.
The room was so silent that no one could speak.
Tomson silently handed the tissue to Chen Feng, Chen Feng tried hard to suppress it, trying not to recall the more difficult past.
He was the witness, the one who watched Close face the empty FTW and survived step by step.
Who can imagine the mood of Close at that time
It took unimaginable efforts to keep teammates, but in the end it was all in vain.
All his teammates have left, and they all have a new future, but he stayed where he was and could not go anywhere.
It was he who tied himself to the collapsed FTW with his own hands.
What was left of FTW at that time
A dilapidated base, a broken logistics team, a group of old people with nowhere to go, and a row of once glorious, now dusty championship trophies.
Standing in such an empty FTW, Close did not fall.
He formed a new team, with a group of inexperienced newcomers, rushed to the Chinese finals and won the 2018 runner-up.
It's a myth that Close created a new impossibility in a year when everyone thought FTW was completely broken.
In the same year, Close was shortlisted for the global finals, winning streak all the way and winning the singles championship.
In 2019, FTW ushered in new capital injection, and new shoots grew out of the collapsed FTW ruins.
This year, FTW still has a good record in China, and Close still won the single-player world championship with a crushing trend.
When the host chanted that he won the double-peat, someone corrected it, it was the triple-peat!
This 19-year-old is the starter of Team God in 2017 and the chief jungler who won the FTW team championship!
That year, Close saw Wei Xiao who was arrogant in the youth training camp.
When everyone was vying for this newcomer king, FTW gave a high signing fee of 2 million.
No one knows what those two million mean.
That's all the money Close was able to come up with at the time!
He wants Wei Xiao.
I hope this gifted child can bring new hope to FTW.
pity…
Wei Xiao's face was pale: "I was..."
Chen Feng already knew about him and comforted him: "I said this not to make you blame yourself, and you couldn't play the game under the circumstances at the time."
Wei Xiao lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.
Chen Feng: "At that time, Close often told me, don't look back, go forward."
Wei Xiao was shocked.
Chen Feng continued: "So Wei Xiao, don't think about two years ago and move forward."
He told Wei Xiao about his former FTW, hoping that he could understand that the cold Close in front of him, the world number one who seemed inhumane, and the great devil who fans kept shouting, had a softer heart than anyone else.
From the beginning to the present, he has never given up this team, even if people go to the empty building, even if there is a mess everywhere, even if there is nothing.
Such a person should have his teammates, his team, and his glory.
Chen Feng never understood why Lu Feng attached so much importance to Wei Xiao.
Today's double match made him understand.
Wei Xiao is someone Close admires.
A young man like the rising sun, a brave and indomitable warrior, a team spirit that can infect the people around him and gather their fighting spirit!
Wei Xiao stood up abruptly: "I'm going back."
Chen Feng called him: "Wei Xiao."
Chen Feng said slowly: "Close has never complained to anyone."
Wei Xiao's back tightened: "I know."
Damn, how can there be such a good captain in this world!
Wei Xiao couldn't wait for a second, he wanted to go back to his room, he wanted to tell Lu Feng, he wanted to let him know...
When he opened the door, Wei Xiao was taken aback.
There is someone else in the house.
The two who were talking stopped, and the one who had his back to Wei Xiao turned his head. Under the wet black hair were a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, and there was a mole under the phoenix eyes, which was Jin Chengxuan.
Jin Chengxuan was slightly surprised: "The review is over so soon?"
The recovery is over, but the recovery is the plate of your FTW dog team!
Wei Xiao was murderous, but Jin Chengxuan felt wrong, got up and said, "Cough, since Quiet is back, I'll go back first."
Lu Feng didn't finish what he said just now, and he didn't avoid Wei Xiao at this moment, and said directly: "Real respect is not avoiding war."
Kim Sung Hyun: "…"
Wei Xiao guessed what they were talking about after hearing this half sentence.
What he wanted to say to Lu Feng alone, he shouted directly: "Captain! In 2021, our FTW will win the single championship, the double championship and the team championship!"
Kim Sung Hyun was shocked.
Wei Xiao stared directly at him and said, "The FTW in the past couldn't do it, but the FTW now can do it!"
