Peacekeeper Elite League: Joining the PEL Stage, Part 1: Forming the Shenzhen XCY Dragon and Phoenix Team and Changing Cities to Compete

- Introduction to the Members of Shenzhen XCY Longfeng Esports Team New Leadership: - Long Lei: Founder and investor of the team. A newcomer to esports, he is actively exploring ways to run the team and is committed to building Longfeng into a formidable Peacekeeper Elite team. He places great importance on developing new talent. - Wan Long: The team's coach. He designs training plans tailored to each player, oversees training progress, and provides tactical guidance. Together with Long Lei, he has worked tirelessly to build the team. - Lei Shenfeng: The team's manager. He joined full of enthusiasm and eager to make a big difference. His main responsibilities include handling the team's day-to-day affairs and logistics. Leaders from the LPL who became father and son through adoption: - Xing Yao: Former manager of a long-established LPL team. With extensive experience, he joined Shenzhen XCY Longfeng and now draws on the connections and management expertise he built up in the LPL to advise the team's development. - Xing Ye: Former owner of a long-established LPL team and Xing Yao's adoptive father. He has deep resources in the esports industry and considerable management acumen. He cares about the team's development and provides important support for its strategic planning. Introduction to the Shenzhen XCY Longfeng players: - Ye Xiu: Former captain of Team Excellent Era, where he played One Autumn Leaf. Forced to retire, he later founded Team Happy under the name Lord Grim. Now he and Su Mucheng are venturing into Peacekeeper Elite. At first, he is completely unfamiliar with the new game's controls and even needs the coach to teach him how to switch weapons. His past tactical thinking does not yet translate well, and he is starting from scratch to figure out how teams work together in this game. - Su Mucheng: Former Launcher of Team Excellent Era, known as Dancing Rain. After her contract expired, she joined Team Happy of her own accord. She came to the Peacekeeper Elite scene with Ye Xiu, but knows nothing about long-range weapons or how sniper rifles differ. Recoil often makes her miss her shots. She is gradually getting a feel for things through the coach's stationary-target drills, but has yet to develop an awareness of how to provide long-range support. - Wei Chen: Founder and first captain of Team Blue Rain, where he played Swoksaar. He came out of retirement to join Team Happy. Now making the switch to Peacekeeper Elite on his own, he is baffled by the shrinking play zone and resource distribution, and cannot even make sense of the map's flight path. With the coach's guidance, he is first learning the map locations and trying to apply his experience coordinating teams to this new field. - Tang Rou: A newcomer to Team Happy with no professional Glory experience, discovered by Ye Xiu at an internet cafe. She is exploring Peacekeeper Elite on her own. Though Glory has trained her explosive power, she has no feel for close-range weapon distances or when to reload, and often charges in without paying attention to cover. The coach is teaching her the basics of offense and defense, helping her put her quick reflexes to use. - Wu Chen: Former captain of Team Wuji, where he played Dawn Gun. After his team disbanded and he failed in the Challenger League, he joined Team Happy. Now switching to Peacekeeper Elite on his own, he is completely unfamiliar with gathering intel, such as pinpointing enemies by sound or spotting footprints. He often gives away his position by overlooking details, so the coach is teaching him new information-gathering skills, starting with distinguishing footsteps from gunfire. All five came from Team Happy, though Wu Chen joined Happy after his time with Team Wuji. However, when they switched to Peacekeeper Elite, only Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng came together; the other three each went separately. Before arriving at the Shenzhen XCY Longfeng club, none of them knew the others had also chosen this new field. They are all newcomers, learning from scratch under the coach's guidance as they adapt to Peacekeeper Elite's gameplay and competitive pace. Introduction to the Peacekeeper Elite and Glory League chairmen: - Shen Huhu: Chairman of the Peacekeeper Elite League and Ye Xiu's uncle. For now, he is primarily responsible for overseeing the Peacekeeper Elite League, with no involvement in Glory or the affairs of specific teams. As a senior league official, he plays an important role in setting industry rules and building the league system. His connection to Ye Xiu also adds a potential link to their transition into Peacekeeper Elite. - Feng Xianjun: Chairman of the Glory League. He has long dedicated himself to the standardized operation and development of Glory tournaments. Having witnessed the growth of the professional Glory league, he is well acquainted with the progress of its teams and players. He commands considerable authority in the Glory scene and is a key figure in guiding the esports industry steadily forward. Introduction to other characters: - Long Ying: Long Lei's father. Although he is not directly involved in the day-to-day running of Shenzhen XCY Longfeng, his background may have provided some support during the team's early preparations. His presence hints at the family connections behind Long Lei's move into esports. - Old Zhou (Zhou Yong): Former manager of a long-established LPL team, with extensive experience managing esports teams. In the story, he dies tragically after being attacked by Black people. His experience reflects the complicated environment and risks that may exist behind the esports industry, while also foreshadowing later events. For a long time, Old Zhou lived on only in the memories and tributes of those around him, a respected senior figure silently honored by the entire team. But when the members of Shenzhen XCY Longfeng visit his grave, the team's special source of power, the Seal of Light, brings an astonishing turn of fate. At the insistence of team owner Long Lei, who is willing to pay the price and make a difficult choice, the deceased Old Zhou is about to be brought back to life, crossing the divide between life and death to return to the world. His return will not only resolve the heartache that has haunted Xing Ye for years and mend the greatest regret of those around him, but also bring the skills of a veteran esports manager back into play. He will breathe new life into XCY Longfeng's future development, competitive campaigns, and team growth, becoming a crucial figure in the team's journey ahead. PEL moves to a new city: An introduction to the league: As chairman of the PEL, Shen Huhu has shown bold strategic vision in choosing host cities and planning for the league's long-term future. He spearheaded major relocations for the tournament: after being based in Xi'an from 2019 to 2022, it moved to Chengdu in 2023. In the recent pivotal decision about the league's future home, he went against the prevailing opinion, passed over bustling Shanghai, and ultimately chose Shenzhen as the league's new base. To thoroughly test the new region's capacity and establish an esports culture, Shen Huhu planned an ambitious three-season schedule for the Shenzhen region. During this crucial development period, 21 top teams will gather in Pengcheng to compete fiercely on this new ground. To accommodate such a large field, Shen Huhu set exceptionally high standards for the facilities. In Shenzhen, he personally selected a top-tier venue dedicated to the league. It is equipped with state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and visual technology, as well as a competition stage built to professional standards. He also considered the players' long-term training needs, carefully planning a dedicated, enclosed training community. These all-in-one residential, training, and rehabilitation communities allow all 21 teams to focus entirely on intensive preparations, resolving the practical difficulties of competing in a new city. From choosing the city to building its infrastructure, every part of this far-reaching plan shows Shen Huhu's determination to take the PEL to a higher level of professionalism and provide every team, including XCY Longfeng, with a solid stage on which to pursue their dreams.
