One hundred and thirty eight: broken wings

[No matter how good things are, who can compete with us? VG.P won TNor’s first title with a zero score at 3:0!]

[Is he still capable of eating? The famous general R has a second youth, the Three Holy Swords have come back to defeat the enemy, the unfathomable super god Druid, the official MVP of the PIT League, he is still the same boy as before. 】

[Winning another championship! ONE joins VG.P. It remains strong and can be called the strongest Green Leaf.]

[The future is promising, Dy said after the game: This will definitely not be the last championship I win.]

[Wish you good health, June urgently sought medical treatment after winning the championship and underwent pneumothorax surgery.]

[My destiny is up to me! I can’t help it! Highlights of the destiny of VG.P newcomer No. 4.]



Overnight, the Min News community was occupied by information about the VG.P team members winning the championship, and it was talked about by many water friends for a while.

As we all know, the prize money and event points of the Major are several times that of the Minor, so as a rule, the team that wins the Major will usually choose to take a break to prepare for the second Major or a large competition such as the ESL Mercedes-Benz Cup.

.Basically no team will play in the A and B leagues back-to-back because traveling and traveling are too tiring.

Desolation knows this very well.

I had just finished playing a DAC, and then flew to the Philippines to play PIT. After playing PIT, I returned to China. After returning to my country to rest for less than half a month, I had to fly to Germany to play in the Frankfurt Championship. I came and went again and again, but Xiao Se felt that it was nothing.

But his sixteen-year-old body could no longer bear it.

Simple morning exercises can no longer satisfy his physical needs, so he has to find time to start exercising.

By coincidence, Xiao Se met an acquaintance in the gym, Faith_bian, the former No. 3 player on the Wings team. He had just finished practicing the bench press, and he was covered in sweat, and his hamstrings had already begun to take shape.

"Hey, Bian Shen." Xiao Se made the first move.

Faith_bian turned around and saw that he was an acquaintance. He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Isn't this Brother Yi? The king of putting out fires."

Xiao Se: "..."

After VG.P won the championship in the Philippines, ONE gained the title of "Firefighting King" after being "the first brother".

"Are you coming to exercise too?"

"Yes, I used to work out here. It was mainly because there were no competitions and it was boring, haha."

There was a bit of bitterness in Faith_bian's laughter. Who would have thought that the Ti champion would have no match.

Xiao Se chatted with Xiao Mingbian for a while, and finally came around to the topic: "Wings and Random".

"Why did you quit Wings..." Faith_bian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is too much money, and it has changed."

Faith_bian is only 19 years old this year, but his words are even more intriguing than what some adults say.

Too much money makes it taste bad.

What has changed is not the relationship between the players, but the atmosphere of the team.

As early as DAgs, the club has stopped paying wages. It has been in arrears for months. Although they have been compensated after many twists and turns, the players' hearts are already half cold.

Some people may wonder: Ti champion still lacks so much salary?

Of course there is no shortage. The arrears of wages are just the trigger of the matter. Let Faith_bian explain slowly.

Wings is a grassroots club started from scratch. Five unknown players came together and relied on the efforts of the owner, manager, team leader and others to make this small club run.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Before entering Ti at that time, the boss of Wings would often go to the base to encourage his players, take them to eat together, and make plans and goals together. There was no airs at all. It was this that shaped the Wings club.

The good atmosphere inside led to the summer fairy tale of "The Divine Wings of the Protector of the Country".

But when they won Ti and received the most generous e-sports prize money in the history of e-sports, everything changed.

The championship bonus is divided into 82 points (Club 2), which is the result agreed upon by the five team members after discussion.

This decision is unbelievable even in the industry. The club will share 20%, and the five players will share 80% equally. This means that the club earns more than a single player, which is unreasonable in itself.

But the Wings players still agreed. They value honor and feelings more than bonuses.

Just when everyone thought Wings would set sail in the future, everything came to an abrupt end.

The boss stopped coming and even ignored the DOTA2 division. Wings lost several games in a row. The atmosphere within the team was not good and no one was there to regulate it. It wasn't until the club started to default on wages that they knew there was a problem with the company's operations.

Afterwards, the team members expressed their willingness to work with the club to tide over the difficulties, but the club's attitude repeatedly left them disappointed.

Finally, after more than two months of continuous endless cycles of "promises of repayment" and "continued defaults", the five players unilaterally announced their withdrawal from Wings and established their own company, Random.

After withdrawing, the five players had no choice but to run their own team, and the results were predictable. They were banned, eliminated, and slandered... The team that had just won TI fell from the top to the bottom in an instant. Fortunately, they

After stumbling in the qualifiers, he got on the last train to the Frankfurt Major as the knockout champion.

The first game of the new season may be their last stop.

"After Frankfurt, we should be leaving..." When Faith_bian said this, his face was full of unwillingness and helplessness.

Silent and silent, he had already expected this result. VGJ was in the same situation as Wings at the time. He was suspended from the game, had a falling out with the management, and was constantly in the spotlight.

However, through the efforts of all parties, the original VGJ won top sponsorship in the AI ​​Challenge and came back to life, just because they had a good boss at the time, Cheng Qing. Wings' arrival to where it is today is inseparable from their changed boss.

Although Xiao Mingbian didn't say it clearly, Xiao Se could guess where the reason for Wings' operation lies. It is most likely due to another game that has a lot of connections with DOTA2: League of Legends.

The league system of LOL is completely different from DOTA. Their operation is more like the NBA, with preseason, regular season, and playoffs. Each major division competes for swordsmanship, and finally a championship is decided in the S competition.

The team is basically non-fixed, with those who are capable being promoted and those who are weak being demoted. However, if you want to join as a new face in this system, you have to pay too much.

Wings started out relying on DOTA2. After becoming bigger and stronger, it wanted to enter LOL. However, due to lack of experience, it continued to suffer. After the investment failed, it finally created the current situation.

If it were Xiao Se, if he helped SPS win the honorary crown of D2, and then turned around and used Ti's championship bonus to invest in LOL, and ignored the heroes of the original club, he would have rebelled and left.

.This kind of killing of donkeys is not something that humans can do.

The opponents who used to compete in TI6 are now in two different situations, one is at its peak, and the other is on the verge of disbandment.

Xiao Se didn't feel happy, on the contrary, he felt very sad, sad for what happened to Wings, and sad for the ecosystem of DOTA2.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Faith_bian immediately joked: "It's been a year and I can finally compete with you. It's really hard."

Xiao Se said with a smile: "One handful is not enough, I need five."
