“He used to play Starcraft?” Zhou Yan had heard what Luocheng had said and asked.

Luocheng nodded his head. “Yeah, the Championship for the China Starcraft community had him as one of the competitors. I won in the end but he was still very strong. Now that he has come to LOL, his skills as a professional gamer can finally be shown to the world, it’s just too bad that Team Beijing’s teamwork is not that good yet. They could not grasp the flow of the game that easily. They were like us during last year’s competition. Winning and becoming the top four team is definitely possible, but if they want to triumph over Team Daemons and Blood Eagle’s Team Sky as well as Team 71, it might not be possible.

Zhou Yan nodded. “Then he must be very gifted as a professional player and also an old competitor. At that time, our country’s potential for Starcraft was very low. The teams that were formed to face the Koreans were beaten black and blue, the only two who could possibly win would be the two of you, I guess.”

After both teams had gone back down the stage, the next team in line was Team Dusk and Team Meteor. These two teams could be called veterans and their battle power was not something to be gawked at.

Even so, after their match was over, everyone needed to take a break, so Luocheng and his team did not stay to watch. They were planning to watch the replays and look into it later.

They were sent back to the hotel by a bus that had been specially prepared by the competition organizers. This feeling was really the best.

Once they were on the bus, Team Beijing were also onboard as they too wanted to go back to the hotel.

Everyone sat down and made some small talk. Luocheng could see that Number One was making his way toward him.

“Fighting Hawk, do you want to join the Asian Indoor games that badly?” Number One, Xie Lianda asked.


Luocheng was stunned for a second and nodded.

This Indoor Games meant a lot to Luocheng and he really wanted to participate in it.

“We know that your team is very strong and we know that you have not brought out your trump card before meeting Team Sky or Team Daemons.” Lianda had a feeling that even if they had already shown their prowess, this was still not the best from Team Skycrown!

“I could give the right of participating in the Asian Indoor Games to you…” Number One said as he looked at Luocheng seriously.

“What did you say?” Luocheng was astonished.

“I know that you really want to participate in the world championships and you clearly have better skills than me. I could give this spot to you.”

This sentence from Number One instantly made the two teams in the bus go dead silent.

Ping Feng was the first to react, pulling Number One over to him, “Number One, how could you give up your spot so easily!?”

Ping Feng had been shocked by Number One’s words.

Number One had only become famous in LOL this year. In the past, he had set aside the competitive gaming scene.

This was not because he was not skilled, but because he had only played LOL for such a short time.

Prior to this, he had been engrossed in Starcraft and Warcraft 3. Even if he did not get an impressive prize in the competitions, he was already recognized as the player in the top 3 in both games.

LOL was currently famous in the gaming community and had taken up most of the gaming scene, but strictly speaking, from his skills and former achievements, a player like Number One was definitely a genius in competitive gaming. No one was more worthy than him to participate in the Asian Indoor Games!

Ping Feng knew that the Fighting Hawk, Luocheng, was very strong and also a God in competitive gaming. If he had not retired and still brought the flag of his country to the competitive gaming scene, he would have been undeniably chosen by the higher ups to be in the Asian Indoor Games.

But clearly, he had retired for more than two years, and in these two years, Number One had given so much effort in helping their country show off their competitive gaming skills. Who said that just because Luocheng had come back they would have to give him the spot? Even the higher ups would choose Number One over him!

“Yeah, captain, the spot was not easy to get.” Pi Ka, who was the Support, suddenly stood up.

Was Number One crazy? This spot in the Asian Indoor games was immensely valuable. If a player was lucky, he could turn from a nobody into someone who was looked up to and paid attention to by the media in an instant, how could he let go of it so easily!?

Luocheng was still trying to gather his thoughts, staring at Lianda.

The Asian Indoor games. Luocheng really wanted to participate in it. He wanted to show his parents, his friends, and his loved ones, that he could do it, and to give up on the past and accept the future.

He also wanted to do something for the gaming community and the Asian Indoor Games this time was the best chance for him as he would definitely be on media such as the sports channel and even newspapers!

After knowing who had been selected to participate, Luocheng did not have much hope for himself anymore. At the very least, people from the competitive gaming scene had finally gotten into the Asian Indoor Games. The professional gaming profession had finally come into the light and eyes of people around the world, slowly changing their perspective about video games.

The point was, Number One suddenly saying these words stunned him.

As Number One’s teammate had said, it was very hard to get the spot to be in the Asian Indoor games. Those who were chosen were definitely those who were outstanding, there was no way that anyone would let this chance go!

“Do you really mean it?” Luocheng looked at Number One almost dumbfounded.

Number One nodded his head.

The members of Team Beijing all stood up, and Ping Feng was extremely agitated, “Captain, how could you give the spot to someone else! You’ve waited for this chance for three whole years! Even if he is strong, the things that you have done for the gaming community, the absurd amount of competitions that you have participated in, the desperation you went through while trying to find a sponsor… With the meager amount of prize money, our team could only barely stay together! The only thing that he did was get champion in something no one else could have and then leave. Who would believe in him! I don’t agree!”

The Asian Indoor Games did not just include LOL, it also had other games in it. Starcraft, Warcraft 3, CS, DOTA, everyone knew that. You, Fighting Hawk, had only won the world champion in the past, but in these two years, when those Koreans, Swedish people, and Americans had put up a challenge against our country, who was there to intercept them?

Was it the Fighting Hawk?

Of course not! It had always been Number One fighting them. Even when he could not win against them, he was trying his best, training to win!

It was so hard… so hard for the sports ministry to acknowledge esports as a real sport. With Number One’s two years of hard work, the sports ministry had finally given in.

What does Fighting Hawk have that even after he retired, Number One had to give him the spot?

After retiring, even if his skills in LOL were strong, was he great in Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and even CS?

The bus was suddenly quiet, Ping Feng’s words were clearly directed at Luocheng.

Yes, as an old competitive player, he did harbor some hate for Luocheng.

You would never understand this feeling. Especially when enemies from the other countries were laughing and trampling over you and you could not talk back, when they had no one to rely on, they wanted to find someone and say his name, but where had this person gone? In the end, it was Number One and Lu Jian that were left holding the line!

After getting scolded by Ping Feng, Luocheng had nothing to say.

It was true that after he had left the competitive gaming scene, there was no one who could bring up the country’s name like he did. The people like Number One who had fought really hard for the country earned his utmost respect.

Luocheng did not ask about why the sports ministry had given Number One the spot. It was probably because he had put in a lot of effort, and if that was the case, he would be nothing close to them, and so he did not argue with him about it.

“Number One, if you give out your spot, I will not participate in the Warcraft 3 competition either.” Ping Feng said gravely.

“Ping Feng…” Number One shook his head at Ping Feng, letting him know that there was no need to continue.

Strength was strength, Number One did indeed put in a lot of effort for the gaming community, but he clearly had never stood on top of the world before, unlike this person in front of him.

Ping Feng looked like he was about to say something else, but Number One cut him off, “Have you forgotten what the Korean player, Lee Jinhe said?”

Ping Feng grit his teeth. How could he have ever forgotten what that Korean had said? He had laughed that the strongest Starcraft player in the country could not even reach their country’s professional level, going as far as to ridicule them saying that there were no real professional players in their country, only a bunch of people who wanted to win the prize money!

The Asian Indoor Competition would take place in Korea, and without a doubt, Lee Jinhe would be there.

“I can’t win against him, but if you really want the words that he said to become a reality, then you can continue to be stubborn.” Number One admonished Ping Feng.

“Lee Jinhe? That guy who was rather well-versed in every competitive game in Korea?” Luocheng started to get suspicious.

Number One nodded.

“Last year, our country’s competitive team had to go up against the team from Korea and Lee Jinhe was able to defeat many of us at our best games on his own. It was then that he said something in Korean to his teammates that got us really mad. He thought that we could not understand Korean but Ping Feng had actually lived in Korea for a few years.”

“That guy was always an *sshole. The past few years, he’s always been wanting to challenge our boss.” Lin Dong suddenly remembered about this person and continued, “At that time though, it seemed like he had not gained world recognition yet and did not have the qualifications to challenge our boss, right?”

“He is extremely strong now. He was the champion of the World Cyber Games two years ago.” Ping Feng said.


“That strong?” Da Luo asked with a hint of disbelief.

After everyone had retired, they had bothered less with the competitive gaming scene.

“It has been a long time since I’ve played. Even if you let me play, I don’t have the confidence that I can definitely win against my opponents.” Luocheng said.

“The games are not set but LOL is definitely in there.” Number One replied.

“Number One, are you absolutely sure that you want to give him your spot?” Ping Feng asked.

Luocheng was also paying close attention to Number One, he still could not believe that Number One would really let him have the spot.

Number One nodded his head., “The spot is yours.”

Number One stopped for a moment purposefully, and before Luocheng could celebrate, he continued on to say, “But only if you can prove to me that you and your team are the country’s best LOL team!”

“The sports ministry will definitely not turn down someone who can guide their team to become the champions to represent the country in participating in the world Esports championship. If you can become the strongest in the country, my spot will definitely be yours!”
