Along the way, the communication between Gu Xing’s father and Dong Xiaosa never stopped.
He didn't know much about professional e-sports. He heard that Gu Xing was going to participate in a trial training, so he crammed in some knowledge so that he would not understand anything and be unable to chat with people.
However, he was similar to his son in that he still knew little about this business, and his words were somewhat worried.
"I don't need to hide it," Dong Xiaosa said calmly, "Today we went to the base to take a look at the training environment, and if possible, play one or two training matches."
"Our team will go to Hangzhou to play the provincial competition in mid-April. Even if Gu Xing passes the trial training today, it is impossible for him to sign a contract to play in the competition immediately, not to mention that he himself is busy with the college entrance examination..."
"Furthermore, this thing is the same as ordinary work. It emphasizes a two-way choice. When the team takes a liking to Gu Xing, he might not want to stay here, don't you think?"
Dong Xiaosa had learned some information about Gu Xing from his bot lane duo before, and at that time he felt that it was unlikely that Gu Xing would stay in Greedy Sa.
Because the EDG youth training also sent Gu Xing a trial training invitation.
EDG's second team EDE's journey in the secondary league has reached a critical juncture. It is very likely to defeat YM and get a direct promotion spot from the league championship to enter the LPL.
According to the new league rules implemented at the end of 2014, a club can only have one team in the top league.
In other words, after EDE enters the LPL league, they must sell out their spots.
As EDE players who are ready to fight, there is a high probability that they will change their appearance and play for the new club.
The EDG second team will be completely rebuilt by then. If Gu Xing joins in the summer, he may be able to get a starting spot in the second team.
Moreover, during this period of time, Dong Xiaosa was following Gu Xing's ranking matches in his spare time, and saw that his account score was getting higher and higher.
Today, the account ‘I really only know how to play jungle’ has entered the top 30 in the national server rankings, and is continuing to climb up.
The game he lost was basically because his teammates pulled his hips. As long as the other four players were a little bit normal, Gu Xing could kill randomly in the rankings.
Dong Xiaosa couldn't see through the opponent's upper limit and had no hope of signing Gu Xing.
He didn't think about these things and casually changed the topic, "How are Gu Xing's grades now?"
"Yes, it's not bad," Gu Xing's father was very calm. "He ranks quite high in the town. Because he has taken part in the competition, the pressure of the college entrance examination is not very great. During this period, he has time to play games. I didn't expect that he is talented in this area."
Not bad."
He could have been humble first, and then said that his son was studying in the town's innovation class and had signed an agreement with Fudan University in advance. He could have gone through all the details to see Dong Xiaosa's surprised expression and satisfy his own vanity.
But he didn't do that.
Nearly fifty years old, I have a clearer view of certain things. I feel that those bells and whistles are of no use. I am too modest and others think I am pretending.
Moreover, Gu Xing got the grades by himself. To be fair, Gu's father could not give his siblings much help in their studies except for the apartment in the school district. It would not be good for him to show off when he went out.
Even so, Dong Xiaosa was quite surprised.
Although it was nearly ten years since he graduated from high school, he also knew the strength of Zhenhai Middle School.
"I didn't expect that, Gu Xing, you are playing games and studying at the same time?" Dong Xiaosa laughed in agreement.
Gu Xing is also very good at enlivening the atmosphere. He shows his cheerful and outgoing side, and he still has longing for trial training in his heart.
By the time we arrived at Haishu, it was already early eleven in the morning.
This place is much more prosperous than Zhenhai and is considered the old urban area of Ningbo.
"The base is upstairs. It's a house I rented. The team members should get up now," Dong Xiaosa explained to them all the way. "Our work and rest are similar to other professional teams. We only get up at noon. After all, no one plays in the morning.
Games, and the games are basically not arranged in the morning..."
He opened the security door and stepped aside to let the two of them in.
The room is not small, and there is a shoe cabinet in front of it, with several pairs of sneakers randomly placed in it.
After putting on shoe covers, Gu Xing and his father walked into the living room.
It's said to be a living room, but it has been transformed into something else.
A long table was placed near the wall. In addition to six or seven computers and keyboards and mice, there were paper towels, snacks and other items on it.
Overall, it's still a messy etiquette.
The five young people were sitting in their respective seats, wearing headphones and typing on the keyboard. They were all busy with their own things, and none of them saw Gu Xing and others.
"Someone's coming, someone's coming!" Dong Xiaosa clapped his hands hard, "Wear headphones every day. Don't you even know there's a thief in the base!"
There was a burst of laughter in the living room. The greedy team members took off their headphones, stood up and said hello to the boss.
"Let me introduce you," Dong Xiaosa patted Gu Xing on the shoulder, "This is the newbie Gu Xing who came for trial training today. His ID number is 'I really only know how to play jungle'... I mainly play the jungle position."
The team's original jungler immediately became nervous.
He was afraid that someone new would come and take his place.
The team is not very formal, and there is not enough spare money to support substitutes. If Gu Xing takes over, he will have to pack up and find another job.
Dong Xiaosa saw everything in his eyes, "Before we go to Hangzhou to compete, our starting lineup will not change. Gu Xing is just here for a trial training!"
After hearing this, the jungler felt relieved.
A fat boy about 1.8 meters tall with thick and black eyebrows took the initiative to greet Gu Xing with a very enthusiastic attitude, "My name is Lin Weixiang, you can guess the ID... We are both in a small group of seven wolves, and this time we finally
I’ve met you in person.”
He said in a milky voice.
Gu Xing showed a sunny smile and said, "Hello, just call me Gu Xing. Who is Chitanda?"
A boy suddenly jumped out from behind Lin Weixiang. He was a little shorter and a little thinner. He was hidden inside just now. "Liu Qingsong, I used to play ADC, but now I play support. Don't call me Chitanda, it sounds like
Two dimensions.”
"What do you mean by resemblance? You are the one!" Lin Weixiang muttered dissatisfied.
After Gu Xing nodded in agreement, he looked at the other person next to Lin Weixiang with a natural expression, "Beethoven, the prince of online dating?"
Based on his position just now, he can deduce that the seats of the Greedy Sa team are arranged from top laner to support. Lin Weixiang, besides Liu Qingsong, is the mid laner.
Beethoven, the prince of online dating among the Seven Wolves, is the greedy and sassy mid laner, and his identity is just right.
"Call me Fenfen..." The thin boy wearing glasses smiled politely.
He also greeted the other two team members, and Gu Xing responded calmly and calmly throughout the process.
Father Gu was very pleased with this.
"Let the young people interact and get familiar with each other first, and I will introduce you to other facilities in the base." Dong Xiaosa pulled him to the other side.
Gu Xing pointed out the self-made snack, and it didn't take long for Lin Weixiang to share his snacks with him.
Overwhelmed by the hospitality, he tasted a piece of meat floss, and Gu Xing chatted with the team members about the recent qualifying matches.
They don’t know each other well, and their love of playing League of Legends is the only thing they have in common, which is also an excellent starting point for the topic.
In the past two years, Ionia has been full of influential figures. Apart from them, there are the Vietnamese StyleofMe who suddenly emerged, Dopa who is still firmly in the number one position, JackeyLove who is eyeing her, and the genius boy TheShy...
If you just pick one out, there will be a lot of interesting things.
While Gu Xing was chatting with them, he was observing their personalities and trying to deduce their playing styles.
What surprised him was that Lin Weixiang was actually good at the two heroes Lucian and Vayne.
One lane rushes forward, focusing on suppression in the early and mid-term, while the other lane holds on, waiting to take over the game in the later stages.
If you switch to jungle, it's like someone who is proficient in Leopard Girl and Pig Girl at the same time, which is quite rare.
The characters' gameplay is very different, and I don't know how Lin Weixiang adapts to it.
In comparison, Liu Qingsong is much more normal. He likes to play with Thresh, which is also the hero that most support players are good at.
"Did you know?" Lin Weixiang suddenly turned his head and spoke to him in a low voice, "I can tell fortunes by reading faces."
"Ah?" Gu Xing suspected that he heard wrongly.
"Really!" Lin Weixiang said seriously, "Do you know why I was so enthusiastic about you in the first place?"
"...Because we are in the same group?" Gu Xing guessed.
"Shit," Lin Weixiang directly denied his idea, then looked solemnly, and his thick eyebrows looked even more ridiculous, "because I figured it out, you can win the world championship in the future!"
"Not only you, Liu Qingsong and I can do it too!"
Gu Xing dismissed it and said, "Nonsense, you can see that, what kind of job do you have? You can set up a stall under the overpass and make a fortune."
In his opinion, neither he nor Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang, who are competing in the City Heroes Competition, are far from the title of world champion.
Lin Weixiang wanted to say more, but heard his boss calling them.
"Let's have lunch first, and then we'll see if we can schedule a few training matches in the afternoon!"
Dong Xiaosa happened to be introduced to the base kitchen by Gu Xing's father.
"I invited an aunt to come over to cook. This is also the routine configuration of most domestic teams. Only big clubs like EDG have special canteens..."
Father Gu walked around and was not particularly satisfied with the environment here. The accommodation rooms were also quite crowded. It felt like a team founded by Dong Xiaosa on a whim.
"Gu Xing, after you finish your meal, just play on this empty computer that no one is using." While eating, Dong Xiaosa pointed to the outermost position in the living room.
Gu Xing picked up a piece of scrambled eggs, soaked the rice in broth, finished his lunch in three strokes, five divided by two, and started lining up with several team members.
It was not difficult for him to get higher scores, and he easily reached the 25th place in the national server. It was already around two o'clock in the afternoon. The team members got rid of the sleepiness after eating a full meal and finally prepared.
It's time to play a training match.
Gu Xing, who had never experienced a similar game before, was looking forward to it.
