In ym's base, Su Chen and Zhang Xiaowen were sitting on one side, and sitting with their backs to them was Left Hand, Xiaotian, and bovy.
The training match against edg is about to begin, and everyone's expressions are different.
Zhang Xiaowen kept staring at the screen nervously, motionless as if he had been hit by Snake Girl's petrification move.
Xiaotian was picking at his fingernails, lowering his head and thinking about something.
Left hand and bovy were chatting.
After answering the phone, Meng Ma came to the crowd...
"It's ten minutes late. A few players from edg have gone out and haven't returned to the base yet," Meng Ma said and looked at Su Chen, "Pull everyone into the audio room first. You can communicate with the people from edg first."
.”
Su Chen nodded, and after receiving the yy voice room number from Meng Ma, he pulled everyone in.
As soon as he entered the room, a familiar voice sounded in the headphones.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?" the factory director shouted in his voice.
"Yeah, I can hear you." As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Xiaotian, who was sitting behind him, suddenly said "fuck".
Su Chen turned his head, looked at Xiaotian who was full of excitement, and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Xiaotian quickly took off his headphones and said incoherently: "This is... the factory director?"
Su Chen suddenly realized this.
The factory director was Xiaotian’s idol who helped him embark on his career path. He was on the S5 MSI and saw the factory director’s wonderful performance before he decided to pursue a career.
Last time, he made an appointment with the factory director to have a barbecue and agreed to take Xiaotian with him. However, the EDG team had a temporary problem, so the factory director had no choice but to let Su Chen go. Later, Xiaotian was also quite disappointed.
Su Chen nodded and continued to ask in the voice message: "Are you going to play today? I thought the jungler would be Little Peanut."
Factory Director: "He and Huni both went out. They said they couldn't get used to the food at the base and wanted to have some barbecue. They haven't come back yet. I'll make some temporary arrangements first. I may not be allowed to go."
After saying that, Meiko, iboy, and junior scout also said hello to Su Chen in their voices.
Although he is not familiar with the other ym team members, Su Chen often visited EDG for a few days last year and is a good friend of the factory director, so naturally he is quite familiar with the other team members.
After explaining the matter, the factory director started to chatter: "How's it going, Luffy? How is your training with Overlord lately? Is there any chance to meet our Yonko in the playoffs?"
Edg is currently ranked first in the Western Conference, while YM is ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.
According to the competition system, if the two clubs want to meet in the playoffs, they can only meet in the finals.
Su Chen smiled and was about to speak, but Xiaotian, who was also on the voice channel, suddenly interrupted.
"Director of the factory, I am your fan!" Xiaotian shouted excitedly, as if he had exhausted all his courage.
In the edg base, the factory director was drinking a can of Coke. When he heard Xiaotian's words, he burst into tears.
"Why are you doing this again? Don't mess with me! I'm scared now when I hear who my fans are, they are replicas of Little Peanuts, right?" the director said angrily.
Starting from S6, any jungler who claims to be a fan of the factory director will have an explosive performance when they meet him on the field.
This seems to have become some kind of curse, and now the factory director is afraid when he hears any jungler say that he is his fan.
After everyone chatted for a while, Meng Ma answered the phone and returned to the room.
"We won't wait for now. EDG said that Huni and Peanut drank too much outside and won't be able to return to the base for a while. Let's get started." Meng Ma looked a little unhappy.
Hearing this, Su Chen also frowned.
For tonight's training match, ym also prepared all afternoon. Mengma also organized everyone to analyze some of edg's recent game videos, and even assigned some tactics to everyone individually.
After all, edg in the Spring Split is undefeated so far and has performed at a dominant level.
Playing against a strong team, even in a training match, I think you will absorb a lot of things.
However, in tonight's training match, none of the starting players and junglers were present, and the training match suddenly changed.
Soon, the factory director also confirmed the news with Su Chen.
Edg's top laner was replaced by substitute player Ray, and the jungle position was replaced by the factory director.
"I'm sorry. We had already agreed in advance, but I don't know why they haven't come back yet." The factory director said apologetically.
This season, although he played less, he is still the captain of edg and shoulders some responsibilities.
"It's okay, let's get started. We also have new assistants today." Su Chen said calmly.
After the communication was completed, the players on both sides exited the voice chat and entered the custom room for the training match.
"Don't be too nervous, just calm down and just treat it as a ranked game." Su Chen saw Zhang Xiaowen's nervousness and comforted him.
"Yeah!" Zhang Xiaowen nodded vigorously.
Suddenly being promoted from ldl to lpl, and now having to compete with edg, the top club in lpl, everyone will feel pressure.
However, Zhang Xiaowen felt a little more at ease when he thought of Su Chen sitting next to him.
Soon, the training match begins.
ym is located on the blue side. After some bp, the lineups of both sides are locked.
Top order: Rambo vs Dashu
Jungler: Blind Monk vs Pig Girl
Mid laner: Ryze vs Tsar
Bottom lane: Thresh Verus vs Cannon Lulu
After a short loading period, five heroes appeared in the spring.
Su Chen gave instructions while buying Rambo outfits for going out.
"We need to make more attempts to push down in this game. At the four-and-a-half-minute mark, I will find an opportunity to TP the bottom lane, and Thresh will find a way to set up a ward position."
"Xiaotian can help Ryze more and find a way to get the line rights."
After Su Chen finished speaking, several people in the voice responded one after another.
The five people headed towards their respective divisions. At the beginning, Xiaotian's blind monk chose red.
Su Chen controlled Sword Girl, and after squatting under the blue buff for a while, he went online from the river.
After the first wave of soldiers arrived, Ray's big tree also poked its head out of the shadows.
After seeing Sword Queen's flaw flashed in front of him, Ray skillfully controlled the tree to retreat, disappeared from Sword Queen's sight, and then reappeared. This time, the flaw flashed behind him.
The big tree threw away the saplings, and the soldiers who replenished their remaining health were playing extremely cautiously. They were obviously well trained by EDG.
Su Chen found an opportunity and slashed through the air with a slash, which poked a flaw in the big tree and knocked out a little of its health.
The second wave of soldiers arrived. After Sword Girl reached the second level, she was preparing to attack the big tree again.
At this time, a second-level pig girl with a red buff and the ID on her head was "edg clearlove7", rushed over from the river.
"Hmph, hit me, catch me at the second level and you'll be done..." The factory director controlled Pig Girl with a sinister smile on his face and rushed towards Sword Girl.
…
A barbecue restaurant in Shanghai.
Huni picked up a piece of roast pork, took a bite, and looked at the drunk little peanut with a smile on his face: "This won't work, Xiaohao, you still need to practice your drinking ability."
After saying that, Huni continued to pour wine into Peanut's cup, and the latter quickly waved his hand.
Huni raised his eyebrows and said with a straight face, "Are you trying to displease your brother?"
Seeing Huni displaying the majesty of a senior, Little Peanut could only obey.
Even after coming to China, the Han people's culture of obeying their elders will not change.
After filling Little Peanut's cup with wine, Huni drank it all with a satisfied smile on his face.
"As expected, we still have to eat Hanguo's roasted pork and drink it with beer. In the past, when I was in SKT, the discipline of horse racing was so strict, and the team had to listen to Xianghe's words. How could we have the chance to live like this?"
"I heard that Brother Xianghe has been in a bad mood recently, maybe because of the poor performance of the club." Xiaohuahua said.
Since skt lost the s7 finals, the myth of the former dynasty has also been disintegrating bit by bit.
In this year's LCK Spring Split, the SKT team was in poor overall shape and was left behind by the new generation of clubs such as KZ, AFS, and KT.
The current record is only ranked fifth, and is on the verge of falling out of the playoffs.
This has never happened in the past two years.
Little Peanut can even imagine how much Li Sang Hyuk is suffering in his heart at this moment due to his pride.
"If you ask me, Sang Hyuk is too rigid. He forces everyone to train so intensely all day long. Who can stand it? Sometimes we have to balance work and rest. You see, we came to lpl this year, and our results and status are better than last year.
It's even better, and the salary has doubled several times, how cool it is." Huni said disdainfully.
Although he sounds arrogant when he says this, he is in really good shape in this spring split, with all statistics ranking in the top two in the top lane. He has swept away the haze of last year and has returned to the peak of his career.
Edg's popularity in the spring split is also directly related to his joining Peanut.
"Life in the LPL is indeed very comfortable, but if we were absent from today's training match, won't we be criticized by the coach if we go back?" Xiao Peanut was still a little worried.
Huni curled his lips: "What's the point of playing against a team like YM? They are fourth in the Eastern Conference and are at the bottom. Even if they make it to the playoffs, if they want to bump into us, they have to be in the finals. What do you think of a team like YM?
Does the team have a chance to reach the finals?”
Little Peanut thought for a while, shook his head, and then said: "I thought you would want to play against Jiang Keda. He is now also a T1 level top laner in LPL."
Huni looked disdainful: "Jiang Keda? I have no interest in him. He is just a player who only knows how to line up. LPL has never lacked players who like to operate, but in the past seven years, why haven't they even won an S-match trophy?
Because they think the game is too simple."
"Without LCK players taking on the C position of the team, LPL clubs cannot win the S-League championship. This is an unchangeable fact, so EDG found us, isn't it?" Huni said with a smile.
Hearing this, Little Peanut nodded in agreement.
Since the formalization of LoL e-sports competitions, LCK has won five championships in seven years and is the undisputed first division.
In the entire world, only lck is constantly sending high-quality players to other competition regions.
This year, his and huni's mission is to help edg win the s championship.
Boss Ed Zhu has promised that as long as the two of them can do it, everyone will receive a large bonus.
This amount of money is worth their several years of salary in lck.
Thinking of this, Little Peanut is no longer worried.
Huni is right. With their status in EDG, what does it matter if they miss a training match against the fourth-ranked club in the Eastern Conference?
…
The game reaches the 27th minute.
When Su Chen's Sword Girl was in front of the second tower on the lower road, she single-handedly killed Ray's big tree.
ym immediately chose to kill the baron decisively, forcing edg's people to come over to fight in a team fight.
Pig Girl waved the chain and rushed to the battlefield first, and her ultimate move [Icy Prison] hit Thresh who was blocking the forefront of the lineup.
Tsar, Xiao Pao, and Lulu followed Pig Girl, handing over various skills for output.
However, ym had the advantage in numbers. Facing the first wave of firepower from edg, they chose to avoid it. After Sword Princess returned to the city to replenish her status, tp moved to the middle line of troops.
ym fought back decisively.
Xiaotian's blind monk touched his eyes and came to the EDG lineup, swung his tail with a raptor, and kicked out a candied haws-piercing kick.
The left hand controls Ryze, skillfully executing a set of spell combos.
After Su Chen's Sword Princess arrived, the EDG formation collapsed.
Zhang Xiaowen flashed his Thresh and threw a hook, accurately hitting the pig girl who was trying to escape.
In the end, Sword Princess pierced its armor.
After the edg group is destroyed, it is destined to be attacked by another wave.
As usual, five people quit the game early and ended the training match.
After the game, the ym players took off their headphones one after another and started chatting excitedly.
Winning the edg in the training match is a big boost for these young guys from ym.
Especially Xiaotian, facing his idol factory director, gave a wonderful performance and danced with excitement.
However, Su Chen seemed a little uninterested.
Originally, the level of investment in training matches could not be compared to the regular season.
Huni and Peanut are still absent, so there is no fun in fighting.
However, Zhang Xiaowen's performance in this game was remarkable.
Although the coordination with bovy in the bottom lane still needs to be improved, after several waves of team battles, ym is obviously much smoother than before.
Ten minutes later.
Su Chen, Meng Ma, and Xiao Ma met alone in the office.
One is the team manager, one is the coach, and the other is the captain and core player.
These three people are also the people who can most influence YM's performance.
"Okay! Even EDG won, now we have hope for the playoffs." Xiao Ma said happily.
Su Chen shook his head: "The results are of no reference, and they didn't fight very seriously."
Meng Ma was also not very happy: "That's true. From the BP and player deployment, edg obviously didn't make any preparations."
Xiao Ma didn't take it seriously and comforted him with a few words: "We are a club that has just entered the LPL. We can't compare with others. Abramovich also talked to me just now. He will discipline the players well when he gets back later.
Tell us not to take it to heart."
"This is all a trivial matter, but I'm very interested. When can your little brother come on stage?" Xiao Ma asked.
Su Chen glanced at Meng Ma, who thought for a while and said, "This kid has a good talent, but he may need to get used to it with bovy."
Xiao Ma flipped through the information in front of him: "Then you have to hurry up. Alu has told me several times that he wants to go home and rest for a while. This kid is really under too much psychological pressure. Let him continue to fight.
, the situation will only get worse, and I’m worried that there will be a big problem.”
Meng Ma nodded and said: "Well, I will take a closer look tonight to see which game is more suitable for him to start."
After exiting the room, Meng Ma patted Su Chen on the shoulder.
He had been silent just now, and Meng Ma guessed that he was in a bad mood.
"Don't take this kind of thing too seriously. We won anyway, so there's no need to be unhappy about this kind of thing."
Unexpectedly, Su Chen showed a smile, and there was a certain kind of fire in his eyes.
"You are wrong. I am just looking forward to the playoffs starting soon."
Hearing this, Meng Ma was stunned, then smiled and shook his head.
Perhaps, this is Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
