Rise

It’s the beginning of another week.

On Monday morning, Fang Hao, the president of the Shanghai branch of the Shanghai E-Sports Association, opened the door to the office and walked in.

Looking at the bright and clean office, the antique desk and the computer in front of the desk, Fang Hao sighed and shook his head helplessly.

The two-day weekend break finally ended like this. When he came back and saw such a familiar working environment, he couldn't help but miss the soft and comfortable big bed at home.

Sitting down on the comfortable office chair, Fang Hao relaxed and leaned back on the chair, as if his whole body was about to sink into the soft leather cushions.

Fang Hao narrowed his eyes in contentment.

This is probably the short period of time that he enjoys most and is comfortable before going to work every day.

After a while, all kinds of affairs and documents, large and small, will be piled on his desk, and then he will enter an extremely busy working state.

The work of the e-sports association is not a leisurely job.

The magical city of Shanghai has always been the e-sports capital of China, and as the president of the Shanghai E-sports Association branch, Fang Hao is almost on the same level as the president of the Beijing-headquartered e-sports association in terms of authority, and is more powerful than the top leader of the Guangzhou E-sports Association branch. It's half a level higher.

With a high position and great authority, comes correspondingly heavy responsibilities.

Fang Hao has no complaints about such busy and tedious work.

Because this was his own choice.

Since the League of Legends game just started to emerge, he has turned to the Chinese LOL e-sports field and worked hard for it. He has worked hard step by step to reach his current position.

He does not seek power, profit or fame.

It seems very pretentious to say it, but Fang Hao loves the field of e-sports from the bottom of his heart and regards it as a career that he strives for throughout his life. The only thing he wants is to see the national uniform. E-sports can get better and better with your own efforts and testimony.

…

Recalling the final BO5 battle of the S5 finals on Saturday night, Fang Hao felt a little sad.

Looking at the sky outside the window,

The president of the Shanghai E-Sports Association sighed.

The tone was full of helplessness and complicated emotions.

As an old man of Chinese e-sports who has been involved in the field of LOL e-sports since the S1 season, when he saw the Korean SSK team winning the S5 championship trophy, Fang Hao had mixed feelings in his heart at that moment.

He will not and is unwilling to blame the teams in his LPL division, because he knows that whether it is God-God's Hand, Mote-Dust, or the "All-China Class" KG team, they have already tried their best to win. Fighting.

But even so...

An old man like him who had witnessed the most glorious heyday of the Chinese LOL e-sports team in the S1 season still has a deep regret in his heart.

That year, the strongest team in their national server made it all the way to the S1 finals.

Defeated all the European and American teams that were optimistic about the outside world.

In the end, they lost 2 to 3 to the Korean team that also emerged suddenly.

Missing out on the championship trophy that time was regrettable enough to begin with, but when you consider that the Chinese LPL division has missed the finals of the World Finals for several consecutive years, this heartbreaking regret becomes even heavier.

(Only a little bit)

Fang Hao sighed in his heart.

And when I think about the so-called handover of trophies and inheritance of glory between Li Dozai and Han Shihao during the final award presentation the night before yesterday, even a calm and elegant person like Fang Hao can't help but feel a little angry:

The inheritance of the king?

In the era when DOTA was popular all over the world, it was his turn to be the real king in the DOTA professional e-sports circle. ?

The real legends of their national server didn't say anything, but you, Lee Dojae, couldn't wait to jump out and help Korean e-sports establish a legacy?

what!

He cursed in his heart. Fang Hao had never thought that he had a calm and elegant character.

To be honest, during the S1 season, because of the "age controversy", he, who was just the vice president of the Shanghai branch of the China E-Sports Association, directly faced the big guys at the World E-Sports Association headquarters. He slapped the case directly in front of him and scolded him!

Thinking back on the excitement he felt at that time, Fang Hao doesn't regret it at all now, and is even proud of it.

only……

Those were all from the past.

Shaking his head, Fang Hao took his thoughts back and turned his energy back to today's work.

The first document he opened made Fang Hao raise his eyebrows slightly. It was a document about the organizational arrangements for the next National College League. The original time should not be at this time, but it seems that it will be held once a year from now on. It will be held twice a year, and this college league will be held in just one month.

Closing this document, Fang Hao suddenly thought of the Shanghai Sixteen Schools League, which also ended two days ago.

The standards for high school team competitions were relatively low. He handed over the responsibility to his most trusted subordinate, Chu Fangnan. The latter indeed lived up to his trust by organizing and organizing this Sixteenth School League. Very good.

Remembering that he seemed to have asked Chu Fangnan to send him information about the championship and runner-up teams of the 16th School League, Fang Hao turned on his computer, clicked on the browser to log in to his mailbox, and quickly found the email sent by Chu Fangnan.

Opening the email casually, Fang Hao scanned the information of the players of the championship and runner-up teams with some carelessness.

Then his eyes caught a name.

All of a sudden, the dignified president of the Shanghai E-Sports Association straightened up from his seat, with a look of disbelief in his eyes as he stared at the name on the list of members of the championship team Thirteen High Team.

Forest……

maple.

Lin Feng?

Lin Feng! ? ?

An astonishing guess that he couldn't believe suddenly flashed through his mind. Fang Hao took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, trying hard to tell himself that it must be a coincidence.

But even so, as the speculative thought that lingered in his mind became clearer and more certain, his heart beat more and more violently.

just in case……

Could it be...

It's really him! ?

…

On Monday, the 13th grade students had another day of classes.

The students in the classroom have also recovered from the excitement of the news that their school's e-sports team won the championship of the 16th school league two days ago. Those who continued to listen obediently to the class, and those who were sleeping on the table continued to sleep soundly. .

Lin Feng was also a little sleepy and dozed off.

But a text message on his mobile phone immediately made him energetic.

The person who sent the message was Tian Tian.

Just one sentence in the text message:

[Fengzi, where are you! I didn't train today! Coming to you! ! 】

As early as the end of the top four semi-finals of the S5 finals, the KG team had already returned to China. However, it is estimated that there are a lot of things to be busy in the team and club just after returning to China. Tian Tian also waited until today to finally find the opportunity to start from the club. Sneaking out, he couldn't wait to send a text message to Lin Feng.

Fatty is coming?

Lin Feng suddenly felt happy and surprised, and immediately responded to the text message without hesitation, making an appointment for the two of them to meet at a nearby Internet cafe in the evening after he got out of school.

Tian Tian on the other end was also very excited. After the two confirmed the address of the Internet cafe where they would meet, he directly expressed that he would take the subway to come over:

[Okay, I’ll take the subway and we’ll meet up later! 】

After looking at this text message, Lin Feng put away his phone with satisfaction. When he turned around, he saw Ouyang looking at him suspiciously. Lin Feng couldn't help but scratch his hair:

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Ouyang came over and gossiped: "You are so happy to send text messages, who are you talking to?"

After saying that, he directly made the conclusion: "It must be a girl again!"

The words came out louder.

The teacher on the podium at the front of the classroom was concentrating on the lecture and did not hear him. However, An Xin and Tang Bingyao, who were sitting in the back seats of the first and third groups on the left and right, looked back thoughtfully.

(With the girl...)

(chat?)

An Xin raised her eyebrows slightly.

Tang Bingyao wrinkled her nose, and the expression on her face didn't look very happy.

Some other Class 7 students in the back row suddenly shuddered and subconsciously tightened their collars:

Why did it feel like there was a cold wind blowing just now?

Is winter really coming?
