Chapter 199 Professional Competition (Seeking Monthly Pass)
If it were in the past, everyone would question Xu Ran's proposal. After all, you said you had a better candidate... who didn't?
I also think theshy is a better candidate, can you get it?
There are a lot of good candidates, but at the moment, there are actually not many that are suitable for the DMO team.
Since IG won the championship in the S8 season, theshy, a top laner, has completely changed the top lane position.
In the past, the top order was responsible for initiating the team, taking damage, and controlling the position. The output was secondary.
But after S8, none of the top laners in the Chinese server will be timid. Most of the timid players are not only famous for their stability, but otherwise basic players and the audience will look down upon them.
Therefore, even if you choose a top laner, you must choose a top laner who has a fierce playing style and can stand alone.
But this is hard to find, especially suitable for DMO teams.
Originally, after gala was missing, everyone was still thinking and discussing the AD position. Now Xu Ran said that he would replace A Le in the top lane and let him play as a substitute...
There is a lot of negative news about Ah Le, but his strength is indeed not too bad. If you want someone who can be a starter to be a substitute for another person...who can it be?
Wei Daxun didn't have a particularly big reaction and asked tentatively: "Have you already chosen someone for the plan you have in mind?"
"We have it all, the rest depends on implementation."
"What do you think."
coming!
Xu Ran took a deep breath and adjusted himself: "I think after we acquired the DMO team, the first thing we should do is to strengthen it, and the other thing is to be ready to make the DMO team a blockbuster."
"A blockbuster?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Xu Ran continued: "Either it will fail, or it will be a blockbuster. The DMO team and we, Chi Feng, have little experience in running the club, so we have to slowly absorb and develop it, but this is not the main thing. We have to give the DMO team a good reputation in the entire professional circle and professional circles.
We have dropped a strong shot in the competition and we want the DMO team to stand out completely."
"You mean you want to get good grades?" a person in charge asked.
Xu Ran slowly shook his head: "Performing good results is the first priority. No matter what we think, the players must be proud of and aim to achieve the best results."
Wei Daxun thought of something, raised his eyebrows and said: "You mean, you want to hype up the operation?"
"Yes, that's what I think. We need to hype up, increase traffic and popularity, and make a big splash at the beginning of the summer split. I believe that as long as this can be done, our audience traffic and fans will not be too small."
"How...how to hype this up?"
"This has something to do with what I said about reinforcing the top laner."
After speaking, Xu Ran turned around and signaled that Su Xiaolu had already made preparations and handed out the information in her hand one by one.
Everyone looked at the information and was a little stunned.
Wei Daxun looked at the information in his hand and raised his head. After reading it carefully, he touched his forehead and asked Xu Ran in disbelief: "Are you serious?"
Other project leaders also read the information, with different expressions. When they heard Wei Daxun's question, everyone once again focused on Xu Ran.
"I'm serious." Xu Ran picked up a piece of information and said firmly: "This player once ranked first among the strongest kings on the top of the canyon some time ago. He specializes in the top lane, has a deep hero pool, and has a fierce playing style.
, unique style, and well-known in the gaming circle..."
"I can understand what you said..." Wei Daxun tapped the information with his finger, "But the player you are talking about whose game ID is Grandma Han... is a girl, right? And she is already 24 years old.
Xu Ran, I know you want to use female professional players to hype up traffic and attract the attention of players and audiences. That's right... But you only came to play professionally at the age of 24? This..."
Xu Ran interrupted and said seriously: "This player named Grandma Han, whose real name is Han Yike, is my friend."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Even Wei Daxun, who had experienced a lot, couldn't help but freeze on the spot.
Brother, do you mean...you want to go through the back door in front of me?
Isn't this too much... If you want to leave, let's talk privately. How can we make sense on the stage?
Can it still be called a hidden rule and a back door?
Are you going to go through the front door in an upright and open manner? It's really just a dog that lifts the door curtain - all because of this mouth.
Xu Ran, you are too much of a dog.
Wei Daxun came to his senses and couldn't help coughing. He looked around the conference room and everyone's expressions were a little weird. He was thinking about what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere in the conference room.
Then Xu Ran spoke again.
"This friend of mine is very special. I originally had an agreement with her that I couldn't talk about her affairs casually to the outside world, but this matter is related to her future career, and if her situation takes this path,
Concealing it is unrealistic."
Xu Ran sighed lightly, took out his mobile phone and sent Han Yike's photo to the project team group, and then motioned for everyone to look at their mobile phones.
"My friend had an accident when she was ten years old, and she was dormant for ten years. After she woke up, her parents divorced, and she did a year of rehabilitation training in the hospital before she entered society. But she basically lived alone and never went out easily.
It has only been 3 years since she came into contact with League of Legends."
Xu Ran patted his chest: "I can tell everyone responsibly that this friend of mine is a genius. She is no worse than any professional player. I have been playing games with her for a long time. Maybe it is because of her health.
Due to the reason of dormancy, her concentration is stronger than ordinary people. When she is focused, she will not be easily disturbed by the outside world. Her operations are sharp and delicate..."
"Wait a minute...!" Wei Daxun looked at the photos on his phone and was stunned: "The girl in this photo is 24 years old?"
"Yes, this is true."
Su Xiaolu also quickly echoed: "I have seen this girl Han Yike, and she is really just like the photo."
Wei Daxun couldn't help but touch his chin and was surprised, because the girl in the photo was petite, her cute big eyes seemed to be shining, and her expression looked a little childish... The girl looked only ten years old, with this appearance and figure
Isn’t my daughter almost the same?
Is this true or false?
"So, Xu Ran, what do you mean?"
"Han Yike is very special and deserves special treatment from us. I can assure you that if she does not perform well in the game and fails to achieve the results she deserves, causing the DMO team to lose face, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities it brings.
!”
Xu Ran made a sonorous promise in the conference room in front of everyone without hesitation.
Everyone in the conference room suddenly woke up, but Su Xiaolu was stunned.
Xu Ran actually did this for Han Yike. Su Xiaolu, who went to Xu Ran's house many times, could naturally feel that Han Yike had a good relationship with Xu Ran.
But Su Xiaolu didn't expect that Xu Ran said before that she did all this for Han Yike. She felt that she thought too much, but now it seems that she thought too lightly before.
Han Yike's importance in Xu Ran's heart is... not low.
"I know that there is some selfishness involved in this, but I hope everyone can give this opportunity. If we don't do well in a few games in the summer split, we can let Ah Le start in the starting lineup! And Han can also play in the top lane.
Simply because she can become the first female professional player to play in the League of Legends LPL."
"In addition, because of Han Yike's special relationship, her appearance will attract a lot of traffic from the gaming and professional circles. If we can control this traffic, it will be beneficial to us! Our DMO team may not be able to become a blockbuster by then!"
"But..." Suddenly a project replicator questioned, "Traffic is good, but it also has its drawbacks. If we let your friend play and she doesn't play well, then we will also suffer huge public opinion.
This kind of deliberate hype may bring pressure from public opinion and make it difficult for us to move forward in the LPL..."
"But what if she plays well?" Xu Ran asked directly.
"this..."
"I know that everyone will think that I am gambling, but I don't think so. I know her, so I believe in her. I also hope that everyone... can believe in me once. Again, I am willing to bear everything for this matter
All responsible consequences.”
After the words fell, the conference room became completely quiet. You looked at me, I looked at you, but no one spoke.
Then everyone once again focused their attention on Wei Daxun, who was in the main seat.
It's hard for everyone. They all owe Xu Ran a favor. If they agree, then the favor from the previous LDL match-fixing incident will basically be repaid.
But if you agree, are you taking the project too seriously?
Wei Daxun also had a terrible headache. Unlike others, he only owed one favor. Now Xu Ran said this in front of the stage, just to get his nod and give Han Yike a chance.
But if this opportunity is given, who can know whether it will have indelible consequences?
Xu Ran made it clear and was willing to bear all the consequences.
The project plan was his, and the idea was proposed by him, but he was the one who nodded.
He is still the main person in charge of the project, how can he not be held responsible?
But do you want to refuse?
Wei Daxun thought about it for a while but felt that this was not necessarily the case. He looked at Han Yike's photo, and the scene of this petite girl competing on the professional stage already appeared in his mind.
By then, the traffic in the entire gaming circle will be on the DMO team, there is no doubt about it.
If Han can play this game well and control the negative impact of this traffic, then this will be a starting point for the DMO team to take off.
But if it's not done well...
The conference room was quiet for five or six minutes before Wei Daxun coughed slightly to bring everyone back to their thoughts.
"Xu Ran, I can accept your proposal and idea."
Xu Ran's heart skipped a beat.
"It doesn't matter if you want your friend to play professionally. Regardless of whether she has traffic or not, her strength must pass. You have to make her convince the public, not our crowd, but the teammates and coaching staff of the team club. Her strength
If we can make them accept it, then everything will be easy to talk about.”
"You mean..." Xu Ran took a deep breath.
"She can join the DMO team, but she must participate in training matches and testing by the coaching staff. As long as there are no major problems and her teammates and coaching staff can accept her, she can start the first game of the summer season."
"Thank you, Brother Wei!"
"Don't worry, thank you." Wei Daxun raised his hand to stop, "Let's start with the ugly talk. If she doesn't get the approval of the coaching staff and has serious problems in the training matches, then we can't let her play. That's no problem, right?
?”
"In the professional arena, you have to win with one blow and one shot." Xu Ran smiled calmly and confidently.
"Okay, I don't have a big problem. Where are you guys?" Wei Daxun looked at his colleagues around him.
The colleagues nodded when they saw the person in charge. If they had anything else to say, they all agreed.
Seeing that the matter had finally come to an end, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Xiaolu couldn't help but become happy as well.
In fact, Xu Ran could release the person privately and go through the back door, which would greatly reduce the possibility of being rejected on the stage.
But Xu Ran is reluctant to do this, because the consequences of doing so will be great, and everyone will look at Han Yike with strange and questioning eyes.
He had to let Han Yike play his profession openly and not be treated like a thief in everyone's eyes.
Even if he was rejected on the table, he decided to ask Liang Tianbo for help.
You must know that the top management of the group, not only Liang Tianbo, but also Director Zhang, all owe him a favor.
They will definitely help me with this, after all, it is just a matter of words to them.
But Xu Ran really doesn't want to use this favor unless absolutely necessary...
"Okay Xu Ran, that's it for now with your friend. What about the rest? Your so-called reinforcement plan doesn't include AD players? Do you have any good candidates?"
"Yes!" Xu Ran said quickly, "Because we have added a rookie player, the AD players must be veterans and strong enough to take the lead in fighting the flag. I investigated the transfer market and AD players from major clubs.
, the candidate I recommend here is Sima Old Thief (smlz)."
The old thief Sima is a well-known AD veteran in the professional circle. He once used his big mouth to talk about disadvantages, one person angrily criticized five people, and restored the team's situation.
But he is a bit strange. He is autistic, doesn't talk, doesn't like to laugh, and is not good at communicating with his teammates.
I bounced around various teams, just trying to find a team that suits me, but it was a bit difficult...
No matter which team the old thief Sima appears in, there will be a weird performance gap in the team situation that season.
It's not that other teammates are bad, it's that this problem does exist.
Especially as he gets older, there is no stable club to take the old thief Sima, let alone a long-term contract to keep him.
To use Xu Ran's evaluation, professional thugs have high quality and affordable prices.
At least for a player like Sima Laothi, who is rated as a top-notch AD player, the contract price is indeed not high. You must know that compared to other AD players, the price is basically affordable.
In particular, Xu Ran knew that the OMG team that Sima Lao Thief is currently in has a poor record. Especially after the summer season, Sima Lao Thief even had to serve as a substitute. Then after the summer season, the contract expired, and then because no other team took him, he
I suspended myself for a season to recover from my hand injury.
Is the old thief Sima playing as a substitute next season because of a hand injury, or does the OMG team have other ideas?
Anyway, Xu Ran doesn't know, but Sima Laothief is undoubtedly very suitable for the DMO team at the moment.
Everyone in the conference room began to look through the meeting materials. Because of the previous question, everyone had investigated AD players in the LPL, and Sima Laothi was naturally among them.
