The official statement has been issued that from next season, the LPL competition system will be changed, the most obvious is the regular season, it used to be BO2, and after the change, it was BO3, it seems that only one game has been added, but in fact, every more game is a double test of physical strength and energy for professional players, not only will the intensity be greater, but it will also overturn the previous training mode of all teams, so this is definitely not just a matter of one more game.

As for how to spend the offseason in the playoffs if they didn't win the championship, Yun Chang and Yang Ye had already made arrangements.

"You're really not going?" Eli asked again.

"No, no." Wang Yao shook his head.

Yi Lei looked regretful, "It would be interesting if you went to participate, after all, this challenge uses the S3 version, and that version is the world of mid-laner assassins...... Forget it,I'll go back and continue to review the S3 version of the information.,Ldon't you get it and habitually say the current version.,That's a shame.。 ”

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, "The S3 version? ”

Although the Japanese official server has not yet been opened,But the game server used in the LJK league has long been there.,It's always been the S3 version.,And there's no "daily chemistry".,It's all in English.,It's equivalent to playing with the framework of the American service.。 It's just that I didn't expect that this challenge will be the S3 version......

However, Wang Yao was only a little surprised, and quickly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go back too." ”

Saying goodbye to Eli, Tianzhao and the others returned to the base.

Win VG and advance to the semi-finals, where they will face the last Greedy Wolves team for the title as long as they win three more games!

The Greedy Wolf team, this is the strongest team in the LPL, if you can beat them, it will be the best proof of strength!

……

Soon, the LPL Spring Tournament was over.

It's a pity that Tianzhao finally failed to defeat the greedy wolves, the dominant team that has been in the top of the LPL standings for several seasons.

There are also many people who are choked by Tianzhao's loss, because Tianzhao's performance is not bad, they play very well at every point, it's just that the game is like this, some people will naturally lose.

Downing undoubtedly won the final MVP of the season, earning the team a valuable spot to the MSI of the Mid-Season Invitational and ushering in another peak of his professional life.

However, what people didn't expect was that a week after winning the championship, it was Downing's 24th birthday.

The entire e-sports circle, the SC e-sports professional team, the DOTA professional e-sports team, the LOL professional e-sports team, and all the personnel of the e-sports projects that have left Downing's figure are congratulating Downing on his birthday.

Downing, who should have been the most proud, posted a Weibo without warning, MSI and this year's LPL Summer Tournament will be the last period of time for him to accompany everyone in the professional league......

This is tantamount to a retirement note.

The whole LPL arena shook!

"You're retiring?" Wang Yao called Tang Ning, "Why?" ”

Although Tianzhao and Greedy Wolf are opponents, plus Greedy Wolf has just defeated Tianzhao, it stands to reason that Tianzhao will be angry because of this, but in fact, Tianzhao has no hostility towards Greedy Wolf.

Because esports is like that, losing is losing, and resentment is useless. What's more, the professional players of Greedy Wolf are their predecessors, and when they were still weak, they studied the advantages of each player of Greedy Wolf every day, to imitate and learn from them.

Later, they made it to the LPL, and they were able to play face-to-face against the Greedy Wolves team that they could only look up to, and they have always respected them.

What's more, the Greedy Wolf team also gave them a lot of guidance and experience when they played training matches with them.

No matter from any point of view, Tianzhao can't have a trace of resentment towards the greedy wolf because of the missed encounter with the champion, the greedy wolf wins brightly, and they have no complaints when they lose, only regrets.

The runner-up, although it is frustrating, but when I think that this is their first season in the LPL, they can get such a result, which is also a good result.

Tang Ning's tone was very natural, even calm, "Because I'm old, although I played well in the finals, it's like a return to the light, can you understand this feeling?" As I lifted the trophy, it was as if a voice in my head was telling me not to go any further...... Eight years, eight years, I've been gone long enough, and I'm satisfied. ”

Old......

What a sad thing.

It's not that Downing's life has reached its final period, but that his "competitive life" has reached its final period!

For a professional player, their golden years are only a few short years, and there are very few people like Tang Ning who have been in e-sports for seven years, which is why he is called "China's e-sports living fossil".

However, his age had come.

He was no longer able to concentrate as much as he had when he was younger, and he began to make frequent mistakes in operation and judgment, which was the most unacceptable situation for a professional player. In the end, he had to admit a harsh reality - he was old.

With the gradual popularity of esports in recent years, there are many newcomers who have joined in, and his only advantage over those newcomers is a wealth of veteran experience and a mature competitive mentality, but these will be surpassed sooner or later......

When your reaction speed drops and your awareness can't keep up, you'll just become a burden to your team.

This pain of powerlessness can only be experienced by those who have experienced it.

Wang Yao was silent.

"Don't worry about me, everybody will have such a day, and I'm also a brave retreat. Ha ha. ”

Tang Ning smiled very boldly, "I can tell you, I still want to win the summer game, after all, it is a ticket for the S series, if you can play one game before retiring, you will have no regrets in this life!" So, be careful, the day I stand, you juniors will not want to come out! ”

"Damn, the bullshit crackdown on newcomers!" Wang Yao said hatefully, but his face smiled, "Remember, go abroad to buy some things for me and come back." ”

"Buy your mom!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yao looked at the swaying maple trees outside the window with some amazement, the spring breeze was warm, blowing the smell of summer, the sun was shining through the leaves, and the sunlight was dappled and sprinkled on the ground.

At the beginning of the offseason, Yang Ye gave the players a week's vacation, and everyone went home, after all, they were really a little tired after a busy season, and the holiday was just a proper relaxation.

Wang Yao didn't go back, because he hadn't figured out how to face his parents for the time being, he just made a phone call to go back to greet him, not much to say, but listening to his mother's words, everything seemed to be fine.

Everything's good, that's good......

Time passed quietly, MSI began, and the players returned to the base, training more intensively than before in order to adapt to the changes in the LPL format next season.

The winner of the Spring Tournament determines the spot for the Mid-Season Invitational, while the result of the Summer Tournament is a matter of ticket to S6.

Wang Yao still trains and broadcasts live every day, and when he has time, he takes a look at MSI's games, and Tianzhao will not miss every game of the greedy wolf team, get together, cheer for them, cheer for them, and when they lose, Tianzhao players will also choke.

Everything is developing in an orderly manner.

When halfway through the offseason, the good news came.

The MSI Greedy Wolves team has won the championship!

On this day, everyone was congratulating the greedy wolf team, congratulating Chinese e-sports, and when the award was presented, Wang Yao saw the greedy wolf team crying like a group of children in front of the camera, and remembered Tang Ning's words......

Wang Yao's eyes were also moist, and he said softly, "Brother, this is what you deserve." ”

An old man who has been fighting for Chinese e-sports for seven years finally won a championship on the world stage, but unfortunately, the MSI championship only has a medal, not a trophy, which may be his regret......

But this glory will always be in my heart!

In the past two days, Yi Lei, who was far away in Japan, suddenly called Wang Yao.

"What's wrong? Big beauty commentary, are you still having fun in Japan? ”

The greedy wolf won the championship, and Wang Yao was sincerely happy for them, so he was in a good mood these days.

"Happy? You're not kidding me, are you? Didn't you watch the broadcast of the challenge? Eli's tone was full of helplessness, "Our players who went to Japan have all been wiped out!" ”
