In the rest room, Xu Fengge and Lin Mo were sitting at one end of the sofa. Zheng Feng sat opposite Lin Mo with his head down.

"It's been five years......" Xu Fengge is twenty-one years old, but he looks so old at this moment. When he said the sentence of five years, Xu Fengge seemed to have a feeling of twilight old age.

"I'm only 21 now, but my career in esports has taken up five years, a quarter of my life. There are not many people in the esports world who can fight for five years. At the beginning, the boss took the initiative to withdraw and made concessions to the peak of the royal family, so that we had such a chance to continue to develop. Five years in the e-sports circle, is a veteran. ”

"There is always a time when veterans die, and our experience and skills have long been unable to improve. If it continues, it can only be a continuous technological regression. I know you don't want us to retire. But we're really tired of it! Tianxiao has retired, and only Zheng Feng and I are still on the front line who struggled together. I think it's time for us too. E-sports can bring us a lot of happiness, but after a long time, we have long lost the desire and wildness to pursue victory for a game. It's like today's game. I liked the first game more than the second. I like things that have fun, and I'm starting to hate the kind of serious things. ”

Xu Fengge seemed to be much more relaxed after speaking. The more Lin Mo thought about it, the more troublesome he became.

Fed up!

Xu Fengge actually said this word! Lin Mo originally wanted to refute, obviously e-sports brought them everything, not so much tired, but tired!

But Linmer couldn't speak. He didn't know what to say now.

Questioning Xu Fengge why Zheng Feng retired?

Or ask Xu Fengge about his plan?

Or even keep them?

Xu Fengge began at the age of sixteen and was discovered by Li Youran as a talented e-sports player to enter the e-sports circle. Zheng Feng is 23 years old and in his sixth year in the e-sports circle.

In this circle where the average life of a career is not even a year. Five or six years is a long time.

Lin Mo can imagine five or six years. Day after day, facing the computer, doing boring and repetitive training. A game. How long does it take for a person to play without getting bored? Or is it how long it takes for people to get bored of doing repetitive things every day?

As a professional player, I don't have that much time to fall in love every day, and I don't have much time to go home in a year. The scenery is the top of the pyramid, and the great honor of world championship is destined to be missed by some people for a lifetime.

What's more, stress!

That's right, it's pressure! The esports world is full of pressure everywhere.

per game. Your own performance is either good or bad. In each game, what is your opponent and what is your team's record.

To participate in the competition, you must strive for the top.

You also have to keep your skills going backwards at all times.

Even in the esports world, there is a pressure on personnel changes.

Everyone only knows the unspoken rules, everyone only knows the intrigue between the explanations, and everyone only knows the grievances and hatreds between the clubs. And how many people really understand the special industry of professional esports players?

Lin Mo was silent.

From Xu Fengge's state, he really felt tired.

"What about later?"

It took a long time for Lin Mo to ask about their plan. To know. When a professional retires, it's basically 90 percent impossible to return to the ring. Maybe I'm still doing things related to e-sports, but it's definitely not as a player......

"It's a world for you young people, veterans like us who are starting to get left behind. An early exit is not a bleak end. We haven't told the boss the news yet, so we really don't know how to say it. ”

"Shall I help you?" Lin Mo said tentatively.

"Forget it......" Zheng Feng refused Lin Mo with a smile. There are some things that we should say for ourselves. At the beginning, Lao Xu and I were just like you today. Young and vigorous entered the e-sports circle, I don't know how much trouble it caused him. We entered this circle because of him. If we want to quit now, we must tell him ourselves. ”

Lin Mo nodded. That's for the best.

He could imagine why Xu Fengge and Zheng Feng didn't know how to speak just now. Maybe they still have some reluctance to play in this e-sports circle. Maybe there is still a trace of nostalgia for e-sports competitions and e-sports players. But that's all in the past. From the moment they had the idea of retiring, they were already destined to say goodbye to the stage.

What they really had trouble opening up was to Li Youran.

Five or six years in the e-sports circle. It was Li Youran who led them to the beginning. But although it has maintained a first-line level in the past few years, it has never reached the top. This feeling of guilt in their hearts is what makes them really unable to speak.

Lin Mo understands, Xu Fengge and Zheng Feng also understand, Lin Mo understands.

The decision has been made, and Lin Mo doesn't want to keep too much.

He really didn't expect that today's two easy games would be the final farewell stage.

As the last World Series battle. Now Lin Mo thinks about it, the reason why Xu Fengge and Zheng Feng made the game so easy, and the subtle but fatal mistakes that occurred during their game were only deliberately done by these two. Xu Fengge and Zheng Feng knew that they would not be able to make it to the end, and they were even tired of this fight.

It's better to leave the opportunity to Lin Mo, Lin Mo is also half of their apprentices, and maybe Lin Mo's young people have the opportunity to realize what they want.

It seems to be an easy game, but it makes Lin Mo feel warmth after warmth when he thinks about it now. And this warmth comes from expectation and trust.

It is responsibility.

"Don't worry, Lao Xu and I won't quit the e-sports circle. When the time comes, when we retire, we will directly choose to join the Demon Club. The club has expanded too much and is short of manpower in many areas. Although Lao Xu and I don't have much experience in running business, we can still train talented players. ”

Lin Mo nodded, this couldn't be better. How to say that Zheng Feng and Xu Fengge are also real e-sports experts. With their joining, the development of the Demon Club will inevitably be greatly boosted.

"Hehe, I said, Lao Zheng, if you want to train disciples, don't pull me, your sullen personality is only suitable for being a coach, as a sparring partner or something. Uncle Xu, I don't have that patience. ”

Xu Fengge began to smile again, and Lin Mo also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"So what do you want to be? Managing director? You'll have to discuss this with my master. Haha......"

"Come less!" Xu Fengge slapped Lin Mo on the head, "Don't tease." It's no wonder if the boss doesn't kill him. Uncle Xu, how about I go and take over the hosting activities of your club? With Uncle Xu's witty and humorous, polite and courteous style, a talent, loved by everyone, and a flower and a good character, can you still find a more suitable one?"

Lin Mo really wanted to retort and find it. However, after looking Xu Fengge up and down, thinking of Xu Fengge's usual sharp-toothed nature, coupled with his handsome appearance, he is really suitable as a host.

From this point of view, Xu Fengge and Zheng Feng have already thought about their plans after retirement.

It's okay like this, a big stone in Lin Mo's heart was finally put down. What Lin Mo was afraid of was that Xu Fengge and Zheng Feng were forced to retire because of the current situation, and now it seems that the Royal Peak's preparation to acquire Longtang is just an inducement, but I am afraid that the two of them have already had the idea of retiring.

Lin Mo's face finally let go, and Xu Fengge and Zheng Feng could be regarded as saying what they thought in their hearts, and they were much happier.

Xu Fengge hugged Lin Mo's shoulders and smiled, "You kid don't worry, in the future, we will be teammates and a family." Isn't it better than now? Although we are veterans, who said that veterans must die? ”

Lin Mo's heart suddenly brightened up a little again.

"Yes, although the veteran is old, he still has ideals in his heart. In a different way, continue to struggle. ”

"Youth is not extinguished, dreams are not falling, veterans are not dead!"

……

When I came out of the lounge, it was already half an hour later, and there were already many people in the lounge.

Zheng Feng and Xu Fengge said hello and beckoned their teammates to leave. Only one team leader was left to prepare for the draw ceremony later.

Lin Mo wandered around the hall alone, and did not see the shadow of Gao Tianle and the others.

I found out the phone and inquired, only to know that a few stinky and shameless people had already abandoned him, and at this time, I was afraid that he was about to arrive at the base on the bus.

Lin Mo scolded with a smile and hung up the phone. Step out of the waiting hall. Lin Mo didn't choose to go back to the base directly, he couldn't go back to the base now, and Gao Tianle and the Guanchen Monkey were all gone. He is the only one left, and there will be no one else to find in the lottery ceremony later.

The match between the Royal Summit and the WG team continued, and he was not in the mood to watch the Royal Summit match.

What kept circling in my mind was the unwillingness in Xu Fengge and Zheng Feng's eyes.

Although the veteran does not die, although he chooses to quit.

But Lin Mo knew that they still had dreams.

It's just that this dream may not be realized in the past, now and in the future, as players. Isn't this a kind of unwillingness?

Li Youran stepped into the e-sports circle for the first time, and he became a blockbuster, and the name of a talented player spread all over the world. But it didn't take long for the royal peak to be scattered.

Li Youran stepped into the e-sports circle for the second time, and took Xu Fengge and Zheng Feng as the captain to lead everyone to spread their prestige again.

But all these years have passed. Whether it is Li Youran or Xu Fengge, whether it is the first time or the second time, no one has yet had a championship of sufficient weight to prove themselves.

This is Li Youran and Xu Fengge's unwillingness as e-sports players. Ideals have lost to reality.

Lin Mo is now the ideal heir. Xu Fengge, Zheng Feng, Huang Tianxiao, Li Youran, there are too many people's ideals, Lin Hui believes that as a disciple they have cultivated by hand, it is necessary for him to fight for this ideal.

The Demacia Champions Cup is an opportunity. But in front of him, it is likely that there are three e-sports mountains in China.

Purple Gold Club, IE Club, Royal Club. No one will pass up this opportunity. The temptation of a world championship is too great, and everyone wants to take the honor.

If the demon team wants to break through, it must fight with all their might. The next goal must be crossed in order to get a ticket to the World Championship. (To be continued......)
