Chapter 341: Zhou Zekai is unsolvable?
"Old Feng, Old Feng, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but since you joined Tenghai, I believe I have given you a lot of authority. Plus, with all your years of experience, you should have been able to take charge of things on your own a long time ago."

"But why is it that the more we do this, the further we go back?"

Pei Yunteng leaned unsteadily on his office chair, looking at the sweaty Feng Xianjun with a joking look.

"At the beginning, you asked me some questions about the overall development direction of Tencent Esports, which was normal."

"Then it will gradually develop into something where you come to me for the final decision on any incident you're not sure about."

"After all, the company's resources are used to help you solve these problems more smoothly."

"But-"

Even though he was joking, Pei Yunteng's tone would make anyone sweat profusely.

"You come to me to decide on a team's problem. Aren't you a little too idle?"

"How about I give you some extra burden?"

Probably because Teng Jing’s headquarters is located inside Teng Hai Building, Feng Xianjun likes to seek advice from Pei Yunteng when he encounters something he is unsure about.

When there is nothing important to do, Pei Yunteng is happy to teach the e-sports techniques that he has summarized over the years in his previous life.

But the problem is that Lao Feng really seems to be completely dependent on him recently.

Even when it came to such trivial matters as whether Samsara was suspected to be too strong and whether it needed to be weakened through official means, they came to him for the decision.

Pei Yunteng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Old Feng is a good person in every way except being cautious. For trivial matters like this, he can just make the decision himself. Why does he need Boss Pei to come in?
Isn’t Pei Yunteng’s time time?

Feng Xianjun wiped the sweat off his face, organized his words, and quickly explained: "Boss Pei is very clear, this problem is not just caused by the Samsara team."

"In fact, the current situation is that, with the exception of Samsara, the eleven teams in the newly established CS Professional League, led by three of them, have jointly written to us, reflecting the problem of the huge gap between Samsara and the other teams."

"Many teams even announced that if the authorities do not deal with this, they may consider withdrawing from the league."

"This is a collective coup."

After Feng Xianjun's explanation, Pei Yunteng gradually understood what went wrong with CSGO.

Simply put, the Samsara team stands out from the crowd.

As the only team that retains the championship lineup from the Glory era, and even adds a super rookie Sun Xiang to the "True Galaxy Battleship",
The gap between Samsara and other teams is like an abyss, leaving those clubs with no hope of winning the championship.

This gap is almost all-round.

From the quality of the players, to the configuration of the club, to the fame and popularity...

Putting Samsara into the newly formed CS League is like throwing a Red Alert base vehicle into a group of natives who have just started using stone tools.

No wonder other teams couldn't accept it.

Generally speaking, Feng Xianjun has rich experience in handling such team-forcing-the-palace incidents.

In his opinion, Samsara's current combat power is indeed a bit out of level, so it is reasonable to impose restrictions.

The simplest way is to add a salary cap to the league.

With the configuration of Samsara's two top All-Stars, one upper-middle All-Star, and several high-quality players who can get top salaries when placed in mid- to lower-level teams,
Once the salary cap is set, how many years of luxury tax can they afford?

The solution was found, but there was still an obstacle standing in Feng Xianjun's way - Pei Yunteng's attitude.

Based on Feng Xianjun's experience of working with Pei Yunteng during this period, he discovered that for some reason, this boss had a special preference and tolerance for Glory professional players.

The attitude and patience are particularly sufficient.

In addition, Pei Yunteng has always been reluctant to use official means to intervene in any problem, especially the internal conflicts of the alliance.

So he felt that before issuing new rules, it was necessary to get the support of Pei Yunteng himself.

Sure enough, after listening to Feng Xianjun's initial idea, Pei Yunteng was a little unhappy.

"Is it that serious? Can't they go to Glory to dig..."

He subconsciously wanted to refute, but halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and kept silent.

He also realized the seriousness of the problem.

At the beginning, in his opinion, although Samsara’s combat power was strong, it was not strong enough to affect the balance of the alliance.

After all, in the neighboring LOL, Blue Rain's configuration is similar to Samsara on paper, with the original championship partner plus a super signing.

I didn't see Blue Rain causing all the LPL players to come and complain to the official.

But he quickly realized that he had been overthinking it.

It is many times more difficult for CSGO to recruit players from Honor of Kings than LOL.

What situation did LOL face at the time?
The Glory League is in turmoil, but all the players are still there, and their hearts are moved.

As soon as LOL announced it was going to organize a league, Blue Rain and Excellent Era immediately took the lead in surrendering.

At that time, there were many Honor of Kings players in the market who needed a new job, so from the Big Three to the bottom team, and even some LSPL teams, they could dig a few players from the Honor of Kings Professional League.

But what about CSGO?
It was launched a full year late, and the most popular players either switched to playing League of Legends, or the older ones retired directly and went to play retirement games like Genting.

The remaining two or three big cats and small cats have to compete with the neighboring team, Yongjie, which has lower costs and easier transformation.

In addition, as an FPS game, there are obstacles for non-gun players to transform, resulting in the quality and quantity of players poached from Honor of Kings to CSGO being far inferior to LOL or Naraka.

The only thing that can be really shown off is the big move of the entire team of Samsara going all in.

As for other teams, some have one or two players from the Glory Spear Department to lead the team, but more of them simply recruit passers-by in the game.

It is really difficult for these people to compete with a successful and top figure like Zhou Zekai as soon as they debut.

Issues such as fame and revenue are secondary. The key is that Zhou Zekai himself is really too difficult to deal with.

Speaking of which, this guy Zhou Zekai is indeed quite interesting.

On the Glory side, the term "The League's Five Greatest Titles" appeared as early as the beginning of the eighth season, or even earlier.

If this name appears from the ninth season and later, then there is indeed no problem.

But the appearance of such a name in the early stage of Season 8 or even earlier is a very delicate matter.

The key lies in Zhou Zekai.

There is basically no controversy regarding the other banned accounts.

Not to mention the Fighting God Ye Xiu and One Autumn Leaf, with three championships, one runner-up and three MVPs, they are definitely the GOAT.

The same goes for magician Wang Jiexi, who has two championships, one runner-up, and one MVP, ranking second in history. In addition, this is the only title given to the player himself, so its value is self-evident.

After Excellent Era declined, Wang Jiexi became the Executive Deputy Goat and enjoyed the treatment of a regular Goat.

Boxing King Han Wenqing and Damo Guyan also had no problem, with one championship, one runner-up and one MVP, and they ended the championship winnings of Excellent Era when the league was about to fall into panic of being dominated by Excellent Era.

In addition to the high degree of connection and rivalry between Han Wenqing and Ye Xiu, in terms of legendary status, he can even compete with Wang Jiexi.

Next up, Sword Saint Huang Shaotian can be mentioned a little. Unlike the previous three who are all absolute leaders of their own teams, Blue Rain of Sword and Curse is a standard dual-core configuration.

Moreover, due to Huang Shaotian's opportunistic style of play, Blue Rain's regular tactics had to be more centered around Yu Wenzhou, allowing Huang Shaotian to play freely and become a variable.

Strictly speaking, Chatterbox is only Blue Rain's second in command.

But considering that he has a regular season MVP and his personal strength is there, he deserves the title.

According to this ranking method, the fifth position, which is the gun king, should definitely belong to a tragic person.

Zhang Jiale, who has now evolved into a successful person, retired after the seventh season. He is the MVP of Sanya. Not having a championship is a black spot, but he is also the first person without a championship.

Considering that the teams that won the championship already have their representatives, the next one is Zhang Jiale, the Sanya tourism spokesperson.
In addition to his status as a veteran, he also has many other feelings, such as one man, one city, and personal heroism, and he also represents the Baihua team with a remarkable record.
It should be safe for Zhang Jiale to get this fifth title.

However, the Gun God was not him, but... Zhou Zekai.

In the tenth season, Zhou Zekai won two championships and two MVPs, surpassing Wang Jiexi, so there is naturally nothing much to say.

But what was Zhou Zekai’s level at the beginning of the eighth season?
Champion? No.

Runner-up? No.

MVP? No.

Years of service? Three or four years at most.

Even her most discussed strong commercial attributes may not be able to compare to Su Mucheng, who has the dual identities of a female player and Ye Xiu's partner.

On the premise that the honor roll only has some pots and pans and fan titles such as "Frugality Award", "League's Most Handsome Award" and "One Shot Double Headshot Award",

(Salute to my Maizi for the White Horse Spear Award, the Most Beautiful Calf Award and the 35 Seconds Award)

If he could squeeze out Zhang Jiale, a veteran who has everything except the championship, and occupy the position of the top five shooting kings, then there are probably only two answers:

Either that or Xiao Zhou is the LeBron James of e-sports, and has been colluding with Samsara to package himself and brag about himself since his debut, which is obviously impossible.

Or, his personal strength and performance have really reached a terrifying and unsolvable level.

In fact, since the seventh season, Zhou Zekai has been moving towards the position of "the best active player" in terms of personal data and performance.

In terms of record, it has brought a once bad team like Samsara to the championship race.

In terms of personal performance, all data lead the entire league, and he has repeatedly suppressed Zhang Jiale head-on in conversations.

In addition, Zhang Jiale's third failure in the finals had some impact on his reputation, so he was able to squeeze out Zhang Jiale with great difficulty and be crowned the gun king.

In the eighth season, he looked down on everyone for a whole year and finally won the championship. Although there were controversies about his skill points, he is still the undisputed number one player in active service.

A player who can still be crowned the number one in a league that has been operating for many years and is full of strong players, can transform into a newly formed league?

Not only did he encounter basically no obstacles in the transformation, but he also asked his entire club to transform with him?
No wonder other clubs are desperate.

It's like the Gama Empire held an Alchemist Conference, and all the Xiao Huos, Xiao Yans, and Xiao Yans were ready to fight for the championship.
However, a space wormhole suddenly opened up at the side of the venue, and a man came in who claimed to be the young patriarch of the Medicine Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, and brought a group of elders from the Medicine Clan to participate in the competition.

From this perspective, how to deal with reincarnation seems to have become a rather important matter.

The first solution Pei Yunteng thought of was to throw Samsara into the European League and fight with the monsters there.

As a long-established and strong area for FPS games, they are full of talented people, and maybe they can find a few teams to compete with Samsara.

But he quickly rejected this unreliable idea.

Throwing the reincarnation to the European continent would certainly achieve a balance of power within a certain period of time.
But for the entire CNCS, it is a somewhat discouraging thing.
This is equivalent to the entire division acknowledging that it is inferior and in a second-tier league before even meeting the European team.

It’s just like the relationship between NBA and CBA.

Even if Samsara is strong enough to win the world championship, it will be a matter of discussion whether it is considered CN or EU at that time.

It would be fine if CNCS was as experienced as in its previous life, but the key point is that CNCS is just getting started now.

Try to avoid doing things that damage morale as much as possible.

But apart from this, it seems that the only solution to the reincarnation problem is the salary cap.

If a soft salary cap is set and under the constraints of the luxury tax, the current lineup of the team can only be maintained for one or two years.

This time is barely enough for CNCS to fire the first shot. If the condition is more stable, there will be a good chance of winning the championship.

As for other teams, they should have the patience to endure the suppression of Samsara for one to two years.

But this plan is somewhat absolute after all.

If something went wrong with the development of Samsara, such as Zhou Zekai getting injured and failing to make a name for CNCS in the next two years,

It will be difficult to find such development opportunities again.

You can't just temporarily withdraw the terms at that time and allow reincarnation to fight for another year, right?

Pei Yunteng covered his face lightly, feeling a little worried.

In a short period of time, he really couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing Pei Yunteng lost in thought, Feng Xianjun breathed a sigh of relief and waited quietly by the side.

After a long time, Pei Yunteng sighed softly.

Apart from imposing salary cap restrictions, it seems that there is really no better solution in the short term.

Well, let’s use the salary cap.

If Samsara fails to win the championship, it can only be said that they are not destined to do so.

Thinking of this, Pei Yunteng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He was a little lazy, but suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "By the way, which teams are the ones that took the lead in causing trouble for you?"

Although it is understandable, when encountering a strong opponent, the first thing they did was not to think of solving the problem with strength, but to complain to the league officials, which is somewhat pathetic.

When Feng Xianjun saw Pei Yunteng's look, he knew someone was going to be in trouble.

A friend dies rather than a poor Taoist, he quickly replied: "The main leaders are three teams."

"AG, EDG and WNV respectively."

"Oh, I remember... eh?"

Pei Yunteng answered casually and was about to arrange the next work when he suddenly froze.

Then, the pair of slightly narrowed eyes slowly opened under Feng Xianjun's puzzled gaze.

Then, Feng Xianjun was horrified to find that he actually saw a hint of shock and anger on the face of this man who had always remained calm even in the face of a catastrophe.

"You just mentioned... which three teams?"

　The first update will be available soon.

　　Because I spent half the morning working, I was a little late.
