Rise

After talking about serious topics, it was time to drink and eat again. ×ÏÓĸó

Also after feeling slightly drunk, the smile on Zeng Rui's face became even more intense, and it became more natural to chat with Li Shiyi. The topics of communication between the two basically revolved around Lin Feng, one was an old teammate and the other was a newcomer. Partners, each can also exchange information with each other, so we have a good conversation:

"So Fengzi was really a junior high school student in season 1?"

"Yeah, when we met offline for the first time in Beijing, we were all taken aback. Hahaha, we are really too young, and our strength is still so strong."

"But now the head of the Four Emperors of the ssk team was only eighteen years old back then, right?"

"Well, it may be even smaller, probably only seventeen, not much older than Fengzi—but back then there was no such thing as the Four Emperors, there was only one supreme e-sports throne, Fengzi...it's a pity. "

When he said this, Li Shixi took a sip of wine, and his expression was a little regretful.

Zeng Rui nodded in agreement and commented:

"E-sports is inherently cruel."

"There is no win-win."

"In the arena, there must be a battle between life and death."

Li Shiyi said with emotion: "Yes, but back then, let alone us, the entire national server had great expectations and hopes for Fengzi, thinking that he could become the professional number one in the new generation of League of Legends." One person, at that time, it was really only the last step..."

As he spoke, he stopped and did not continue, but his tone was infinitely sighing.

Under such enormous pressure.

Carrying countless hopes.

go all the way.

Make your way to the top.

In the end, he still missed the throne of e-sports supremacy.

The two people beside Zeng Rui and Dou Zi also couldn't help being silent, and their mood seemed to become heavy with Li Shiyi's description. They were neither Lin Feng nor Li Shiyi. It was even more impossible to truly understand how Lin Feng felt as the party involved at the moment when all the dust settled.

...

"Actually, you can experience something—"

Dou Zi suddenly spoke out, with a cautious tone:

"After all, since the World Finals in S1, Fengfeng and Shiyi's team has been disbanded, right?"

"Fengfeng retired after that."

The atmosphere was suddenly quiet.

Not only Zeng Rui, but even Li Shishi was stunned by Dou Zi's words.

Countless thoughts and memories came back in an instant like a tide. After a long while, Li Shiyi nodded slowly, and said a word like a sigh:

"yes."

As an experiencer and a witness back then, he indeed has the absolute right to speak on this matter, and he also has the deepest feeling.

that year.

High spirits.

He gambled all his pride and dreams, and shouldered the hope and glory of the entire national uniform.

That is……

A battle that cannot be lost.

It's not even possible to think about the "what if you lose" scenario before the ending comes up.

But unfortunately...

They really lost.

In the BO5 match, five games were killed, from the dark to the assassination until the eyes were red, and the two were almost exhausted, but they still stared fiercely at the opponent. They never gave up hope until the last moment.

But when it really came to the last moment——

All hopes were dashed and shattered.

It was as if the sky had fallen.

At that moment, the whole world turned into a gray and bleak tone, just like the colors on the computer screen in front of them at that time.

No one is willing to imagine the result of defeat, but when the cruel reality is in front of them, even if they don't want to, they can only force this result into their arms.

It was a pain that really went down to the marrow.

A cruelty that cannot be described in words.

And all of this, even Li Shiyi and his team members were almost suffocated by the cruel reality, not to mention the youngest but most responsible captain Lin Feng at that time. What kind of mood is it that bears.

Even now, even if they are just trying to enter that situation as outsiders, Dou Zi and Zeng Rui still have a feeling of depression.

Li Shiyi let out a long breath and shook his head:

"Let's not talk about this."

"After all, it's all over."

Zeng Rui and Dou Zi nodded subconsciously. Indeed, it was too heavy to bring up those past facts, and it would also spoil the atmosphere of tonight's celebration banquet, so the topic of several people changed again, and it was Li Shiyi's turn to be curious. Concerned about the recent situation of Lin Feng, Dou Zi, Zeng Rui and the others over the past year.

For Li Shiyi's question, Dou Zi and Zeng Rui naturally answered every question.

So when it comes to the cohabitation of someone and Su Xue.

He mentioned Su Xue's professional identity as a game e-sports anchor, as well as her current popularity on the Douyu TV live broadcast platform and her deeds of becoming the official commentator of the LSPL professional league.

Hearing this, Li Shixi was slightly stunned:

"Is that...Suhang Yexue?"

"I saw it on the commentary stand at the lspl stadium a while ago."

Then I talked about the process of meeting and getting acquainted with Lin Feng by the other people. This part was mainly narrated by Zeng Rui. Li Shishi also listened very carefully and focused, nodding in response from time to time, but when he heard a certain name, he couldn't bear to say it. Can't help but the eyes are slightly bright again, a little pleasantly surprised:

"steamed stuffed bun?"

"Do you guys know Baozi too?"

In the team back then, apart from the five players Lin Feng, Li Shishi, Tian Tian, ​​A Qiu and A Mo, the other official team member was the girl who was the coach.

To be honest, in the original team, the girl who was nicknamed "Baozi" by someone was responsible for almost all the heavy chores on and off the field of the team, and even had an incomparable relationship with the other four people except Lin Feng. Close and familiar as brothers and sisters.

At this time, Li Shiyi was unavoidably surprised and excited to hear news related to the girl.

But at this time, Dou Zi and Zeng Rui couldn't help but look at each other, with hesitant expressions on their faces.

Li Shishi, who noticed this, couldn't help being puzzled:

"What's wrong?"

"Is there anything... that you can't say?"

The expression on Dou Zi's face was a bit tangled: "Well, it's not that I can't say it. Actually, I don't know exactly what the situation is. Let Ah Rui explain it. He knows better than me."

This is directly to get rid of the burden.

Zeng Rui also hesitated and hesitated, and it took him a long time to think about his words and speak slowly:

"This matter..."

"It's really complicated to say."

"Basically, you do have too many things you don't know about the eleventh day. What happened at the beginning was like this..."

Just as Zeng Rui was thinking about explaining, a voice suddenly came from behind the three of them:

"What is it like?"
