The FTW training room was quiet. It wasnt just them; all the clubs that had received the news were silent.

3U, RR, TPT.

So many excellent teams had risen up in the China competition zone this year, but opportunities wouldnt wait.

Three years ago, FTW, as the only team from the China competition zone, had won the global championship with a huge 3:0 advantage.

There had been 16 teams in the elimination round, going from 16 to 8, from 8 to 4, then there were the semi-finals and the finals.

FTW won all the way to the top and hadnt lost even a single small game. They then won the world championship with a huge 3:0 advantage.

That year, the China competition zone performed brilliantly. The five players from FTW held up the golden championship cup beneath a shower of golden light, having shocked the world.

Yan Jiang, Xie He, Yuan Ze, Kim Sung-hyun, Close.

Five young people with unfamiliar faces welcomed the cheers of players from around the world!

FTW was honored in the Temple of Glory, and the China competition zones seed team quota changed from one to three as they became a Class A competition zone.

Three years later, FTW had split apart, and the China competition zone had fallen into a slump.

If it werent for Close obtaining the singles championship, they might have been relegated last year.

However, a singles championship title couldnt stop the decline of the competition zone. This year, a new competition system had been launched, and the reduction of their quota meant that the situation was more tense.

Boring games couldnt mobilize the audiences enthusiasm, and the global competition needed more exciting competitions.

Weak teams were eliminated, and strong teams would fight against each other.

Ensuring every game full of excitement and fun was exactly what the competition committee wanted!

China wasnt the only competition zone that had been downgraded. Japan, South Korea, and North America had also been downgraded, and only the European competition zone that had won the world championship last year had two spots in their quota.

The competition system was cruel, but it also aroused an infinite desire to fight.

E-sports had always been cruel, and leaving room for unnecessary fights would instead lead to decadence.

Letting go of all concerns and fighting hard, taking each step on the tip of a blade, was the real way to fight!

Wei Xiao was the one to break the silence. F*ck!

As soon as he opened his mouth, the gaze of everyone in the training room turned towards him.

Wei Xiaos eyes were black and bright, the scattered light reflecting inside like a cluster of flames. It shouldve been like this a long time ago. If we dont play well in the domestic competition, why should we go play in the globals?

Chen Feng:

Wei Xiao: Especially teams like TPT who hide their ability. This time, I think they wont dare to hide anything!

One sentence was enough to wake up the dreamers!

Little Lunatic Weis thought process was always different from that of ordinary people.

But once they accepted his ideas, they became very open-minded.

Indeed, the new competition system had really wronged the China competition zone.

Going from three spots to one was like getting a direct hit over the head.

But this wasnt necessarily a bad thing. Was the only reason why the China competition zone had been in a slump for three years because the Team of Gods had split apart? Was it only because excellent players had gone elsewhere that they werent able to pick up again?

No.

Perhaps it was the three global competition spots that had really shackled the China competition zone.

The top three from their competition zone could go and play in the globals, so why did they have to try their best when they competed in domestic competitions?

A domestic champion team couldnt even compare with the top four in the world.

Instead of wasting time at home, it was better to focus on the globals and fight for a bigger competition stage.

Following this train of thought, if they didnt even fight properly in the domestic games, then what would they use to fight against the strong teams abroad?

It was just like how the regular season was the training period for the playoffs.

How was the domestic competition not the training period for the globals?

If they messed around during the training period, then what would they use when they went to play in the global competition?

Perhaps the competition committee had also noticed this point, which was why theyd directly cancelled the cumbersome qualifying rounds, making the fighting more intense and the global competition more exciting.

The seed team cuts werent limited to the China competition zone, so other than the championship zone from last year, the remaining competition zones were also nervous.

The domestic championship was no longer just a domestic competition.

It was the key to higher Glory; it was the gatekeeper, the breakthrough point, a precursor to the highest level of Glory!

Wei Xiaos heart stirred, and he blurted out the words that were suppressed in his chest, Isnt it good? Three years ago, FTW went out of the country and lit up the whole world. Three years later, lets tell everyone that the China competition zones champion is the world champion!

The youths bright voice held burning passion, scalding everyones heart with a wave of raging heat.

Fear, tension, uneasiness.

To hell with it all!

Having no way back was actually the royal road to victory!

Ning Zhehan abruptly stood up as well and said loudly, Brother Xiaos right! The China competition zone champion is the world champion!

Yue Wenle and Bai Cai followed suit and started shouting, too.

The gloomy atmosphere in the training room was wiped out and replaced by vigorous fighting spirit.

The domestic games.

The global elimination matches.

They couldnt lose a single game!

Looking at these two children who were acting like they were still in middle school, Chen Fengs eyes started burning and his competitive heart, which had been ground down over time, started to fire up again.

Three years.

It had been a full three years.

Could FTW build up its brilliance again?

Chen Feng couldnt help glancing at Lu Feng.

Lu Fengs gaze fell on Wei Xiao.

He still had the same calm and unperturbed look, and he was still steady and self-contained, but the black eyes revealed beneath his eyelids showed a touch of arrogance.

Chen Fengs heart felt a shock. He breathed lightly. Be mentally prepared, next up, were in for a hard battle.

The four little ones: Were not afraid!

Chen Feng: You cant lose a single game.

The four little ones: Yeah!

Wasnt the end of an era also the start of a new era?

The glory from the Team of Gods had faded, but a new sun was rising up.

Preparing for the playoffs wasnt all talk.

They had double the training, added longer and more detailed game replay reviews as well as more targeted, individualized training plans.

Training time for professional players had always been long. In the days that came, they grew to wish that they could just live in the training room.

Lu Feng also handed over most of his work and focused on training.

He and Wei Xiao had a bigger burden. Not only did they have to break in formations for the 5v5, they also had to train for the singles and doubles.

This years competition system had changed greatly, and it was not just in the overall framework. They also needed time to analyze and adapt to the new double and singles competition mode.

Fortunately, FTW had already planned to go the path of the top-jungler linkage in the doubles and 5v5, so Close and Quiet could use the 5v5 games to practice too.

As for the singles, there was no need to worry about Closes personal operations. As long as he played normally, nobody in the domestic competition zone could stop him.

After a day of training, Wei Xiao heard Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle cheering each other on.

Little Ning: Tomorrow, Im going to go dye my hair black. If we dont win the championship, then I wont dye my hair anymore!!

Little Nings greatest joy in life was his granny gray, granny blue, granny purple hair. He didnt feel comfortable if he didnt have his hair dyed in various colors. These harsh words of his were really filled with fighting spirit.

Yue Wenle fell silent for a moment, then dropped his own words, If we dont win the championship, then I wont eat chips anymore!

This was even more ruthless. The God Le who would rather break his head open and bleed everywhere than lose his chips had actually put down the root of his life for the sake of the championship!

Wei Xiao was really entertained listening to them. He caught a glimpse of the Vegetable Salted Fish and asked him, What about you?

Brother Vegetable: ???

Wei Xiao repeated Little Ning and Yue Leles words to him. Brother Cais reaction: !

Wei Xiao: These little brothers are all trying so hard. Brother Cai, you should make a statement too.

The corners of Bai Cais mouth twitched.

Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows.

After being forced by Little Lunatic Wei, Brother Cai also had to be harsh on himself. If we cant get the championship, Ill Ill

Wei Xiao looked at him slowly.

Brother Cai gritted his teeth, Ill hand over all the small fees that the captain gave me! Holy shit, his heart hurt so much that it felt like it was splitting apart just from saying it!

Wei Xiao thought it over.

Bai Cai thought that he felt that it wasnt enough, so he added, And I wont take any small fees in the future. Ill walk Brother Soy, squeeze watermelon juice, and feed Beast Wei for free!

Wei Xiao laughed and scolded him, Youre a f*cking beast. Not bad, not bad, Brother Cai had also committed himself.

After Bai Cai spoke these fierce words, his heart hurt so much it was clenching. He looked at him. What about you!

Wei Xiao: As for me

Bai Cai stared at him.

Wei Xiao suddenly leaned in close and whispered a sentence.

Bai Cai: !

Wei Xiao: Thats enough, right.

Bai Cai: Get lost! Get the hell out!

Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle, looked over when they heard the commotion.

Bai Cai: This shameless Little Lunatic Wei was really too much!
