Glory
Chapter 43
The previous FTW?
Coach Chenfeng simply asked nonsense. Looking at the entire circle of glory, who does not want to know the FTW of the new generation?
The FTW four years ago was so beautiful, not only in the Chinese division, but also in the 16 divisions around the world. Everyone who heard about FTW felt very nervous.
In the e-sports circle, every year there are super players, every year there are outstanding talents, every year there are legendary players leading the team to the myth.
It is not uncommon to have one each year, but it is an exaggeration to have five in a year.
Looking at the glorious history of this matter, there is and only one such case.
FTW is a veteran and strong team, which attracted many outstanding players by virtue of their qualifications.
The first to enter is the captain of the year, Yan Jiang in the support position.
Then came the ADC Kim Sung-hyun from Korea.
Then came the mid laner, who terminated the contract with the domestic giants at the time.
In the end, Yuan Ze stood out from the second team. He had a bad taste when he debuted and liked to rub people on the ground.
This is the FTW before Close has joined the team. At that time, Chenfeng was in the jungle position.
Chenfeng announced his retirement after only one season. This season is more tired than the previous five seasons. Coach Chen is too old and can't afford it.
So FTW discovered Close, who was still in the youth training camp.
A sixteen-year-old boy who looks like a star and pampers him at first sight.
That's right...
Close had not yet passed his seventeenth birthday the year he joined the team, and he turned seventeen after the start of the game.
At such a young age, it stands to reason that FTW cannot sign without parental consent.
But at the time, Close was so dazzling.
Show operation, strong consciousness, flexible brain and high savvy.
Not to mention this face, even if it is signed back as a vase, it has extremely high commercial value.
At that time, FTW had already started to behave unruly, and even cheated for Close and got his parents' signature to let him join the team.
In just six months, FTW skyrocketed.
The regular season grand slam, the playoffs, the domestic finals crushed the runner-up of the year to a mental breakdown.
Good finals, made it look like a passerby game.
The runner-up, who was shaved 3-0, was in a downturn for a whole season and didn't stand up until he changed the starting lineup.
It's fine to dominate the dominance at home, and these five people are still stunned after rushing out of the country.
The global competition points into the finals, knockouts and finals.
The final round is a round of battle. The three seeded teams in the 16th Division totaled forty-eight teams in a melee, and the top 16 in points rushed into the knockout round.
At that time, the FTW set a record of glory in the finals, winning 20 straight, and finally rushed to the knockout with 30 points, ranking first.
First in the points, there is a chance to choose an opponent. FTW met the gods and the Buddhas in the knockout rounds, and reached the top four.
In the global finals, FTW was still as powerful as a rainbow, and it did not shy away in the away game. It convinced last year's champion and runner-up.
2017 is a year belonging to FTW.
FTW won the team championship and the individual championship. Only the double match was missing because they did not register at all.
What is even more ridiculous is the individual finals, where the FTW players compete for the championship.
The upper unit Zehe Zhongdan thanked him.
In the end, Yuan Ze was slightly better and won the championship, Xie He was runner-up.
Also from that year, the competition committee changed the registration rules, and a team can only register for one single player.
It is too much to watch "infighting" in the global finals!
This is the FTW back then, magnificent and glorious, the team of gods that has been remembered by the global glory circle for the past four years.
It's a pity that such a team ended up in fragments.
After winning such impressive results, Kim Sung Hyun's contract expired and he returned to South Korea.
This is nothing, these five are strong enough, and the "cutting" is also for other teams to survive.
Who knows that the next month will be turbulent.
Yan Jiang transfer.
Xie He then left.
Yuan Ze also went to the North American Division.
There is only one Close in the FTW lobby where the World Crown Cup, which represents the highest glory of glory, is left.
The team of gods is disbanded.
FTW came to an end.
There are divergent opinions in the glory circle about the reason for the dissolution of this team.
When it first broke out that year, the essay could have millions of words.
Some people say that the team is too strong and has no rivals. With this brilliant record, the man who made it to the temple went to Dugu to seek defeat.
Some people say that it is internal discord. These few people have been in conflict with each other a long time ago, and they are all super-sweet players.
Some people even said that because of Close, FTW was too partial to this newcomer and even gave him an important jungle position. The other players were dissatisfied and planted the seeds of contradiction.
…………
...
Later, when Close bought FTW and became the new owner, there were even more malicious speculations.
What Close is just a cover, the talent behind him is the trader.
There is obviously a problem with this face of Close.
What the gold master buys the team for Close to play, and the other players leave early when they feel sick.
These remarks made Chen Qi to sleep for three days and three nights!
It is not the person involved, without knowing it, how could it be so malicious just by guessing!
They don't know anything, why do they insult Close like this?
For the whole team and for everyone, this boy who just turned eighteen is the one who has done the most!
Chenfeng was reluctant to bring up those things, because he couldn't suppress the distress that spread throughout his chest and the nausea that kept surging upwards.
Nauseous for the ignorant, distressed for Close.
But he wants to speak out today.
Because Wei Xiao should know.
Chenfeng closed his eyes and said: "The FTW management had a problem 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.
"Kim Sung Hyun had decided to leave a long time ago," Chen Feng said, "At that time, Kim Sung Hyun would come to FTW and it was his domestic side...Well, anyway, he always wanted to go back. Everyone would be happy for him."
Although the e-sports club knows no borders, it is better to be more secure if you can return to your home country. Everyone understands Kim Sung Hyun's choice.
Chenfeng took a breath and continued: "The FTW management at the time wanted to withdraw from the gaming circle."
Wei Xiao and Bai Cai who were listening were stunned.
Bai Cai asked: "Withdraw when the sun is in the sky?"
Chen Feng said calmly: "We have reached the peak, and all that is left is the downhill road."
Wei Xiao was so clever, he guessed it all at once: "They want to sell the starter at the time?"
Chen Feng closed his eyes: "Yes."
The team of gods is too dazzling, and the abilities of each player are too top-notch.
A team from the regular season, almost won to the global championship, what is this concept?
It is tantamount to a student getting full marks in all examinations from the first grade of elementary school to doctoral students.
This is too impractical.
It directly affected the balance of the entire system.
The competition committee began to thoroughly investigate FTW. FTW can guarantee the true level of the players and the authenticity of the results, but the operation of this club cannot withstand all aspects of investigation.
After some loopholes were revealed, the management actually thought of "Rapid Retreat".
Having reached the peak, it will never be possible to break through the current results.
It’s better to...
Countless teams gave high prices, as long as FTW nodded and took people away every minute.
At that time, the team of gods, who was not arrogant?
How can they endure the despicable behavior of the club?
Yuan Ze broke his face with the club first, then Xie He, and then Yan Jiang. Only Clsoe said to them, "Don't worry, give me some time."
What can an 18-year-old hairy boy do?
The brothers couldn't bear to hurt him, so they coaxed him perfunctorily until...
Chenfeng said with a dumb voice: "No one thought, Close actually bought FTW."
Bai was stunned.
Wei Xiao's eyes were red: "But they are all gone!"
Chen Feng's nose has pantothenic acid: "Yes."
No one knows how Close did it, and no one knows what Close compromised with his family. In short, he bought FTW and got the ownership.
He wants to keep his teammates, wants to give them a free FTW.
But Yuanze and the others had already signed the contract and went to other teams.
In the face of this disaster, everyone flinched.
In the face of the courageous team of Gods on the field, the FTW starters who are invincible on the championship stage, in the face of the disaster after victory, the choice they made was to give up.
Give up FTW, give up the highest glory they strived for, give up the entire team.
The only choice to persist is Close.
The only person facing this disaster head-on is Close, who has just turned 18.
Couldn't the members of Team of Gods buy FTW?
They may not be able to do it alone, and the three of them have great hopes for capital investment by virtue of their own reputation.
But they never thought about it.
Never thought of protecting FTW, never thought of protecting teammates, never thought of protecting countless fans who regard them as faith.
When I knew that Close became the new owner of FTW——
Yuan Ze has gone to North America, and Yan Jiang and Xie He have gone to Europe.
The team of gods, collapsed.
The room was so quiet that no one could speak.
Tomson silently handed the paper towel to Chenfeng, Chenfeng tried to suppress it, trying not to recall the more difficult past.
He is the witness, the one who has come through step by step while watching Close face the empty FTW.
Who can imagine the mood of Close at that time?
Make an unimaginable effort and try to keep his teammates, but in the end it was nothing.
All his teammates are gone, all have new prospects, but he stays where he is and can't go anywhere.
He tied himself to the collapsed FTW with his own hands.
What was left of FTW at that time?
A dilapidated base, a fragmented logistics team, a group of elderly people with nowhere to go, and a row of once dazzling and now dusty championship trophies.
Standing in such an empty FTW, Close did not fall.
He formed a new team, with a group of inexperienced rookies, rushed to the China Finals, and won the 2018 runner-up.
This is a myth. In the year when everyone thought FTW was completely broken, Close created a new impossibility.
In the same year, Close entered the global finals, winning streak all the way, and winning the singles championship.
In 2019, FTW ushered in a new capital injection, and new shoots grew from the collapsed FTW ruins.
This year, FTW still has a good record in China, and Close still wins the singles world championship by crushing.
When the host chanted that he won a double championship, someone corrected it, and it was a triple championship!
This 19-year-old young man was 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 fighting for the rookie king, FTW gave a high signing fee of 2 million.
No one knows what these two million means.
That was all the money Close was able to put out at the time!
He wants Wei Xiao.
I hope this gifted child can bring new hope to FTW.
unfortunately……
Wei Xiao's face was frosty: "I was..."
Chenfeng already knew what had happened to him and comforted him: "I said these are not to make you blame yourself, and you couldn't play the game under the circumstances."
Wei Xiao lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.
Chenfeng: "At that time, Close often told me, don't look back, go forward."
Wei Xiao's heart was shocked.
Chenfeng continued: "So Wei Xiao, don't think about two years ago, go forward."
He told Wei Xiao of the previous FTW, hoping that he could understand that the cold Close in front of him, the number one in the world that seemed unhuman, the big demon who the fans shouted, had a heart softer than anyone else.
From the beginning to the present, he has never given up on this team, even if people go to the sky, even if there is a mess, even if there is nothing.
Such a person should have his teammates, his team, and his glory.
Before, Chenfeng never understood why Lu Feng valued Wei Xiao so much.
Today's double match made him understand.
Wei Xiao is the person Close appreciates.
A young man like a sunrise, an indomitable warrior, a team spirit that can infect the fighting spirit of those around him!
Wei Xiao stood up quickly: "I'm going back."
Chen Feng called him: "Wei Xiao."
Chenfeng slowly said: "Close has not blamed anyone."
Wei Xiao's back tightened: "I know."
Damn, how could there be such a good captain in this world!
Wei Xiao couldn't wait for a minute and a second. He wanted to go back to the room. He wanted to tell Lu Feng that he wanted to let him know...
When he opened the door, Wei Xiao was taken aback.
There are others in the room.
The two people who were talking stopped, and the one with his back to Wei Xiao turned his head. Under his wet black hair were a pair of long and narrow eyes, and a mole under his eyes was Jin Chengxuan.
Kim Sung Hyun was slightly surprised: "The resumption is over so soon?"
It’s over, but it’s your FTW Dog Team’s game!
Wei Xiao was murderous, Jin Sung-hyun felt wrong, and stood up and said: "Ah, since Quiet is back, I will go back first."
Lu Feng didn't finish talking just now. He didn't avoid Wei Xiao at this moment, and said directly: "True respect is not avoiding war."
Kim Sung Hyun: "..."
After hearing this half sentence, Wei Xiao guessed what they were talking about.
Originally wanted to say something to Lu Feng alone, at this moment he directly shouted out: "Captain! In 2021, our FTW will win the singles championship and the team championships!"
Kim Sung Hyun was shocked.
Wei Xiao stared at him directly and said: "The previous FTW couldn't do it, but the current FTW can do it!"
