FOG [e-sports]

On one side, Zhou Huo was delivering messages for others, and on the other side, he was still reporting work in the group.

[Manager·Zhou]: [Reminder, the relegation match will start tomorrow. Although it is not our game, but no accident, the team that failed to relegation tomorrow will face us in the qualifiers. You can watch the game in advance to find out Opponent situation. ]

There are only twelve teams in the FOG professional league in China. Last year, the twelve teams were Saint, NSN, Bison, ICA, Yizhan, Wanzhongshan, YT, DDF, FS, Zhanjia, MO, and Fengjiao.

Each season starts with the regular season. During the regular season, the twelve teams adopt a double-round BO3 competition system, and accumulate points in pairs. After the regular season, the top eight teams will enter the playoffs according to the points ranking. In the follow-up competition, while the bottom four teams missed the playoffs, they also had to prepare for the relegation match.

These four teams are also the last four teams ranked last year: FS, Warframe, MO, and Wind.

The four teams played in a round-robin match, and the two teams with the most losses were directly relegated. That is to say, these two teams were officially kicked out of the FOG professional league teams in the Chinese division and relegated to the secondary league teams in the Chinese division.

There are only ten professional league teams left, so two seats are vacant. This is the time for the main event, the time for the FOG professional league team to open once a year.

The qualifiers for two valuable professional league team spots have officially begun.

This is the only opportunity for teams from the Second Division to advance to the league each year.

After the relegation match is over, all the officially registered sub-league teams recognized by the league, plus the two teams that have just been relegated from the relegation match, will play a round-robin match together, and the two teams with the highest points will advance to the professional league team Twelve seats are filled, and all the remaining teams are officially classified as this year's secondary league teams. If these teams want to make a comeback, they will have to wait for the next year's qualifiers.

Such a competition system is a bit cruel, but it is crucial to the entire league.

According to regulations, there are only twelve league teams in the competition area, and the places are very precious, but club teams can be purchased, which poses a risk of capital intervention.

The e-sports industry has developed rapidly in recent years. It has gradually moved from a minority to the stage. It has changed from being unpopular to a faintly popular trend. It has also attracted more and more attention from capital, and there are many people who don't understand it , using the club as a toy, spending huge sums of money to buy a professional league team, occupying precious spots and messing around, stuffing a bunch of nonsense things to act as players.

And the relegation competition system has put an end to this possibility very well.

The capital can buy one or even two of the twelve teams, but he can only play one regular season at most. After the regular season is over, other professional teams will use their strength to clean up the door together, and directly kick this kind of idle team out of the profession league.

The base price of the clubs occupying the professional league teams is eight figures, and the first number five is not capped. With the huge number, you can only play a regular season that is not painful or itchy.

Under such a competition system, the FOG League can not only stimulate the club to make progress, but also make small changes year by year, replace the teams at the end of the level, and absorb the strong players in the secondary league teams under the premise of ensuring the purity of the bloodlines of all teams and playing games with heart. Team, serve multiple purposes.

[Manager·Zhou]: [The relegation match is a double-loop BO1, which can be completed in one day. FS, Warframe, MO, and Fengzhi, the two teams with the lowest points among these four will join us later. Guess what? ...Who will be among these four? ]

[Puppy]: [Wait, something's not right. ]

[Puppy]: [...I just returned to China, I don’t know the situation in your competition area, don’t scare me, am I dazzled?How did I see a team that I am very familiar with? ]

[Yingjun Chenhuo]: [...I have not long since returned to China, and I suspect that I am also dazzled. What's the situation with the two-letter team that I don't want to type out? ]

[Puppy]: [? ]

[Coach Old Joe]: [That's right. ]

【Puppy】: […]

[Handsome Chenhuo]: [Isn't it possible?At any rate, it was also the former world championship double champion team, and now they are all reduced to the relegation match? ]

[Coach·Old Qiao]: [It is the player who wins the world championship double, not the team. ]

[Coach Old Joe]: [Being called the Holy Land of e-sports does not mean that this club is really a champion incubator. No matter how many games against the sky, they were all won one by one by the players of the year. It has nothing to do with the club itself. what relationship? ]

[Coach·Old Qiao]: [Without players, and no longer working hard to train new players, relying on an empty shell to trick other players into filling their numbers, what good will there be? ]

[Coach·Old Qiao]: [In the first year, I could barely make it to the playoffs, and played a round of games, but in the second year, I couldn’t even make it to the playoffs. No matter how brilliant the record was, now It's just a relegation club. ]

[Puppy]: [...Stop talking. ]

[Handsome Chenhuo]: [Stop talking, I feel a little blocked. ]

Yu Sui looked at the chat records in the group, but didn't want to say a word.

After selling a few people at the beginning, Ji Yanhan originally wanted to sell the entire FS club, but the FS club has no players with the reputation of winning the World Championships. Since he really could afford it and felt that there were no players, Ji Yanhan had been entangled with several parties for a long time, but he was still unable to negotiate a suitable price. In the end, he left FS. He had no money to sign the players at that time. Difficult to advance or retreat.

But at that time, FS was still a holy land of e-sports, and there were really passionate players who only wanted to enter the championship club and transferred to FS. Of course, these players must not be clear-headed first-line players.

In this way, FS's performance plummeted in the next year, relying on the enthusiasm of the previously transferred players to stagger into the playoffs, and then was eliminated in the playoffs, the four starting players directly transferred three, Ji Yan After a year, Han freed up some funds and bought a few relatively strong players. He also started to monitor the team's operation, but some things fell apart.

This year, Ji Yanhan did his best, worked hard, signed new players, and cultivated a second team, but the FS performance was not as good as last year, the regular season was poor, and he tried his best and failed to make it to the playoffs , has now become a relegation team.

FS always has different meanings to Yu Sui, Qiao Chenhuo and Puppy.

FS is a club established by Yu Sui and old Qiao, and it is Chenhuo Puppy's first club.

Old Qiao was right, the competition was played by the players, and it was the four of them who made the two letters FS into a nightmare for the four major divisions.

It's only been two years.

Everyone doesn't feel sorry for Ji Yanhan, but they can't let go of the withering of the team that they have poured all their blood into.

Chen Huo and Puppy felt a little suffocated, and stopped wrangling in the group. Old Qiao said a series of words as if venting, and stopped talking. After a few minutes of silence, the group shook again.

[Manager·Zhou]: [Oh, what's going on with the atmosphere?Don't worry, FS ranks the highest among these four teams during the regular season, and there is a high probability that they will not fail in the relegation match. They will definitely succeed in relegation, don't worry. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [And they also have double insurance, even if they fail to relegation, they can still continue to play in the budget match, and there are still two places to return to the professional league. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [It’s not that I’m mocking the secondary league teams. Really, they still have a wall with the professional league. Even the bottom team in the professional league beats them like a father beating a son. There’s basically no suspense. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [FS now has double insurance, it is 99% impossible to be downgraded, what are you blocking? ]

[Puppy]: [Knowing that FS cannot be relegated, but entering the relegation match is enough. What is the relegation match?I never heard of it when I was in FS, and I didn't even know what the relegation competition system was. ]

[Yingjun Chenhuo]: [Indeed... I also just checked to find out about the relegation competition system. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [I got to the bottom of the twelve teams, that's the kind of treatment, just get used to it, to be honest, instead of feeling bad for others, you should feel bad for yourself. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [After successfully qualifying for the qualifiers, you will officially be in the same division as your old club. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [In the future, there will be more chances to meet in the regular season playoffs and other messy games. Get used to it in advance, so don't hurt the spring and the autumn every time. ]

【Puppy】: [All right. ]

[Yingjun Chenhuo]: [Okay, wait and see the relegation match tomorrow. ]

At twelve noon the next day, the relegation match officially began.

The four teams have a double round BO1, a total of twelve small games, and each team earns one point for each round won.

The average time for each small game is 10 minutes, and it will be night after the [-] small games. The "Family" group didn't pay attention at the beginning. According to the rules of previous years, the failure of relegation is basically The two teams at the bottom of the regular season are the MO team and the Fengpu team this year.

But this year, something unexpected happened.

The regular season record is second to FS's Warframe team. I don't know if it has undergone special training during this period. At the beginning of the game, both the mental state of all members and personal ability are much stronger than last year's regular season, and they grabbed three points at the beginning.

Compared with the FS players, the mental state is a bit slack. Everyone thinks that they will not have any accidents in the relegation match, but they first lost a round of Warframe and then lost a round of MO team. It was a bit dangerous in an instant. At that time, FS only took two points from the Fengpu team, and it was already on the edge of the cliff.

It was also at that time that Yu Sui started to watch the relegation match.

Twelve small games, only one game left, FS vs. MO.

With five points in hand, the Battle Armor team has successfully secured the relegation, while the Fengpu team has only two points, and has already failed to secure the relegation.

Only FS and MO are left with suspense.

MO now has three points, and FS has two points.

If FS can win against MO, the points of the two sides will be equal, and they will enter the playoffs, and the winning team will be able to avoid relegation.

If FS loses MO, it will be downgraded together with the wind switch.

The news in the group kept shaking.

[Yingjun Chenhuo]: Shit, it's the last game, why am I more nervous than myself.

[Puppy]: FS played too much rubbish in the first few games. Is it because the mentality of all members has collapsed?The operation is deformed and cannot be seen.

[Yingjun Chenhuo]: What to do, what to do, what to do, I'm so nervous!

[Manager Zhou]: What are you nervous about?

[Handsome Chenhuo]: Fuck!That was my old club, my alma mater, my first team!

【Puppy】: +1

[Coach·Old Qiao]: ...To tell you the truth, I am also nervous. Although this is aggrieved, I really don't want FS to fail in relegation.

Yu Sui didn't watch the group, he quietly looked at the computer screen, the last round of the game had already started.

Five minutes into the game, Yu Sui let out a sigh of relief and closed the game live broadcast interface.

There is no chance of winning at all.

At least three of the four players' mentality has collapsed. They are all professional league players. It is tantamount to being humiliated to play the relegation match, let alone the possibility of failure in the relegation match. That would be so pretty.

The greater the pressure, the more nervous the spirit, and the more nervous the more mistakes, the opening 5 minutes, the two FS assaulters have already sent each other a head, and it is taboo for two assaulters to die together. There is only one medic left on the front line. He handed over his home map to MO.

While the two FS assaulters were waiting for their resurrection, a large open space was cleared by the two MO assaulters on their own map. This opening was so exciting that it was almost useless to play.

Yu Sui opened the game client solo queue by himself, and took a look at the group after 10 minutes.

[Puppy]: [Fuck me, I can still fail to relegation! ! ! ]

[Yingjun Chenhuo]: [No, I really want to ask the FS assaulters, how do you two play hammers? ! ]

[Puppy]: [Is the pressure too much? ]

[Coach·Old Qiao]: [Which professional player is not under a lot of pressure on the field? ]

[Manager Zhou]: [No, why are you angry?Don't you have any remaining feelings for Ji Yanhan?Why do you still feel sorry for him? ]

[Handsome Chenhuo]: [Who loves him? ! ! !I feel sorry for myself! ! ! ]

[Yingjun Chenhuo]: [I used to be able to say b, saying that I made my debut in FS, who heard this before and couldn't kneel down and call him dad? ]

[Handsome Chenhuo]: [What about now?I said I debuted from FS!Others would just say oh, that team that failed to relegation, fuck! ]

[Manager Zhou]: [hhhhhh]

[Handsome Chenhuo]: [It's really... Sigh. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [They still have to play the qualifiers with us, and it’s not a big problem to fight back. After all, the wind switch is a real dish, and the final result should be that we and FS will advance together. Disgusting enough, I don't want to advance with Ji Yanhan at all. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [Okay, the game is over, let's rest, it's our turn soon. ]

[British Drama Chenhuo]: [ok. ]

【Puppy】: [ok. ]

[Evil]: [Will Yanhan go in the preliminary season? ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [It should be, he went to the scene to watch the relegation match, and he should be in a hurry. Why do you ask this? ]

【Evil】: [It's okay. ]

[Manager·Zhou]: [Evil, let's agree first, don't make trouble. ]

【Evil】: [...I'm sick? ]

[Evil]: [I also don't want FS to be downgraded, believe it or not. ]

[Handsome Chenhuo]: [That is, how can we brag about it after being downgraded! ]

【Evil】: […]

Yu Sui looked at the chat records in the group, and after a while, he opened Shi Luo's business card, and clicked "Add as friend".

One minute later, Yu Sui's phone vibrated, and Shi Luo accepted the friend invitation.

Yu Sui clicked on the chat interface, hesitating what to say in the first sentence, and while hesitating, Shi Luo sent a message.

[Evil]: [I asked for a ticket for the qualifiers. ]

【Evil】: […… of your show. ]

Yu Sui looked at the phone and typed.

【Whisper】: [Put on the mask and sunglasses. ]

Yu Sui's phone vibrated, and Shi Luo sent another message.

【Evil】: [The qualifiers...don't be like FS and suddenly get caught up in a problem. ]

Yu Sui typed slowly: [No. ]

[Whisper]: [Is the luggage packed? ]

[Whisper]: [I will pick you up after you successfully advance to the qualifiers. ]
