Chapter 43: Don’t look back, move forward

The previous FTW?

Chen Feng’s question was simply a redundant question. In the entire Glory circle, who in the new generation didn’t want to know about the FTW from back then?

Four years ago, FTW was beautiful and boundless. Not only was that the case within the China competition zone, it was also known in all 16 competition zones around the world. Anyone who heard about FTW would pay close attention to them.

In the e-sports circle, every year, there were super peak class players, outstanding new talents, and legendary players that took their teams into the realm of legends.

Having one every year was no surprise, but having five of them in one year and all of them in the same team was very exaggerated.

In all of Glory’s history, it had only happened once.

FTW was an old powerhouse that had attracted many excellent players with its qualifications.

The first to join that year was their captain, the support position Yan Jiang.

Then came the ADC, Kim Sung-hyun from Korea.

After that was Xie He, the mid-laner who’d terminated his contract with an elite domestic team.

Finally, there was Yuan Ze, who’d stood out in the second team, had bad taste, and liked to smear people on the ground.

This was the FTW before Close joined the team. At the time, Chen Feng had played the jungler position.

Chen Feng announced his retirement after only playing with them for one season. That season had left him more tired than all five previous seasons. Coach Chen was old and couldn’t afford to continue tossing about like this.

So, FTW discovered Close, who was still in the youth training camp at the time.

A 16 year old youth who looked like a star and was clearly well bred.

Indeed…

Close hadn’t even been 17 when he joined the team. He only turned 17 after the competition began.

At such a young age, FTW couldn’t sign him without parental consent.

However, the Close from that time was too brilliant.

His operations were amazing, his game consciousness was strong, his brain was flexible, and he was savvy and knowledgeable.

Not to mention that face of his. Even if he was signed on just for show, it would still carry high commercial value.

At the time, FTW had already begun to act against the rules. They faked things for Close and obtained his parents’ signatures so that he could join the team.

In just a short period of six months, FTW soared up to the skies.

They crushed the regular season with a grand slam, obtained total victory in the playoffs, and crushed the runner up until their mentality collapsed in the domestic finals.

A proper finals competition played out like a random pick up group game.

The runner up team that had been beaten 3:0 was depressed for an entire season and couldn’t stand up again until they changed their starting line-up.

It was enough that they dominated at home, but after going abroad, the five of them were still overturning the heavens and razing the earth.

The global competition was divided into the qualifiers, elimination rounds, and the finals.
