Chapter 26: EDG's Attention?
He paused for two seconds, as if organizing his thoughts or gathering his courage.
"Yan-ge, you're different. You have talent, the kind of talent that we can only look up to—I knew that from the moment we met when you soloed in a different position than us. Your future is boundless, that's for sure."
"You could have directly commanded us, without saying or caring about anything. In esports, the strong are respected; you take the team's salary and listen to the strongest player—we would never dare to compromise on that."
"But Yan-ge, your first priority was to ask the boss for the coaching position, so that you could rightfully improve the team and us."
"And today's match against ADG, Yan-ge, you played three different games in three different ways, which truly made me experience the real charm of professional esports."
"..."
"Well, what I want to say is—no matter what the future holds, in the next few months, whatever you say goes, and I, Zhou Heyang, will absolutely support you unconditionally."
As soon as he finished speaking, the evening breeze slipped in through the gaps in the plastic awning of the food stall, causing the skewers on the table to tremble slightly and the stray hairs on his forehead to sway gently.
Faced with the unexpected remarks from the young people.
Boss Mo put down his wine glass—this man, who usually loved drinking to death, suddenly fell silent as he watched the clear liquid in his glass sway slightly under the light.
He didn't say anything, but simply pushed the wine glass a few centimeters away.
Fu Shiyan, on the other hand, after a slight pause of a few seconds, understood the somewhat immature expression of the young man in front of him.
It was somewhat abrupt, even completely without warning.
One second he was breaking off crab legs, the next he was pouring his heart out like this.
But when applied to these young people whose average age is only seventeen or eighteen, it is the perfect illustration of youth.
They had no choice before, but now—I really want to be a professional player.
Fu Shiyan suddenly laughed, a very happy laugh.
He first glanced at where Boss Mo was.
I'm so glad that when I came to this parallel world and restarted my e-sports career, I was able to join BJBS, a city championship team where everyone from the boss to the players has an e-sports dream.
Instead of starting with so-called esports powerhouses.
To be honest, he really looks down on the world's esports giants.
Lacking both management and achievements—a two-time world runner-up who was able to get his players involved in negative news such as AFK taking a shower;
The new king, who had dominated the LPL for several years, was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the World Championship.
Even if a newcomer to esports joins, what can he do in a short time?
He's probably been dragged into a whole cycle of gambling, drinking, and womanizing.
How could things be like this? The boss not only wasn't angry when his offer to drink was refused, but he also took the initiative to apologize. Several team members even declared without hesitation that they would follow his example from now on.
The contestant's previous indulgences were mostly not due to his personality.
It's simply because they have nothing, like most young people in Europe and America, and can't see a future, that they choose to live for the moment.
His sudden appearance now undoubtedly gave them hope for the future.
Actively seeking to seize this opportunity is undoubtedly a genetic instinct hidden deep within the hearts of the vast majority of Chinese people.
Therefore, teams in the City Championship have their advantages.
If it were a team or player from a top league—trading beer for Want Want milk? They'd probably sever all ties on the spot.
"You all call him 'boss,' so what else is there to say?"
Fu Shiyan raised his glass, not responding with overly mature words, but choosing a communication style unique to young people. His voice wasn't loud, but every word reached the ears of everyone present.
"I will teach you everything I know. How much you can learn and how far you can go in these few months at BJBS depends entirely on yourselves."
After saying that, he touched Zhou Heyang's juice can, then looked around and touched Wu Chen's Want Want drink, Zhu Dan's plain water, and Li Rui's Coca-Cola after hesitating for a long time.
The crisp clinking sound was especially pleasant in the night breeze.
Mr. Mo sat to the side, silently watching this scene, as if he were seeing himself from a few years ago.
He eventually picked up the cooled beer and took a sip.
—Hmm, the wine today is a bit weak, it's bitter!
……
EDG Esports Club.
Inside the head coach's office at the League of Legends division.
The computer screen was replaying the training match video that the second team had just finished, with the scene frozen on the moment when Orianna used her ultimate to flash and pull four people into a team fight.
"genius!"
"An absolute genius!"
Abu stared at the screen, his eyes practically gleaming.
He repeatedly dragged the progress bar, watching the mid laner with the ID "Crush" play again and again, and observing the timing of each support play, muttering to himself.
Especially when you see the Clockwerk roaming around in the second game, playing a traditional mage with the sharpness of an assassin, while also taking on the task of leading the team's overall rhythm, with countless signal markers and vision control positioned seconds in advance, almost every step he took was to step on the weak points of his own second team.
His voice was filled with an barely suppressed excitement!
Abu suddenly turned his head and asked Yuan You again, his tone filled with disbelief:
"Are you sure this Crush is only eighteen years old and has never played professionally before?"
Before Yuan You could answer, Abu immediately raised his hand again, as if to interrupt the "but" that the other party might say.
"No, even if they've played professionally, it doesn't matter. As long as they're not too old, they're all top-tier mid-lane prospects."
His voice was already high-pitched, but now, because of his excitement, the last syllable rose slightly, like a taut string.
Seeing Abu's appearance, Yuan You took a deep breath.
His anxiety finally subsided considerably.
It seems that his decision to proactively report the second team's crushing defeat in the training match against a city championship team, and to pass on the information about the opposing team's talented mid-laner to the first team's management, was the right one.
Even Abu is like this; with ADG's dismal performance, he has at least given himself an explanation.
Is Crush really that powerful?
Yuan You mainly takes on management roles at ADG, and his individual gaming skills aren't particularly high. Seeing Abu's enthusiastic expression, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
He has seen many athletes, but very few have made Abu show this kind of expression.
"You don't understand!"
Abu deliberately lowered his shrill voice by two decibels, as if afraid of disturbing the ID on the screen.
"I've seen mid laners with great mechanics, and there are quite a few mid laners with top-notch game sense in the World Championship. But this is the first time I've ever seen someone who has never played professionally, yet whose mechanics, game sense, and even instantaneous decision-making are so exaggerated that they can carry four Master-level solo queue players to defeat our second team."
