October 16, 2016, Lighthouse Country, Chicago Theater.
When the five members of the ROX team rushed to the high ground of the EDG team and successfully ended the game, what was incompatible with the boiling scene was the extremely sad voice of the LPL commentators.
"Although we are unwilling to accept this result, we still have to admit that the gap between lpl and lck is huge!"
"1 to 3, the edg team lost to rox and stopped in the top eight of the world championship."
"At the same time, the three LPL World Championship teams have been completely wiped out."
"Today is the darkest day for our lpl, but I still believe that this will also be the starting point for lpl to move towards light!"
"Come on lpl!"
"Come on s7!"
…
At the same time, the atmosphere in the training room of IM E-Sports Club on Lingshi Road, the Magic Capital of China, was equally solemn.
This year, although they miraculously completed the feat of three consecutive jumps and successfully entered the world finals, they ultimately fell in the S6 group stage due to the lack of strength of the players.
I thought that their failure would wake up the rng team and the edg team, but as rng lost to skt 1 to 3, edg lost to rox 1 to 3...
Now that the darkest year of last year has passed, lpl, an even darker year has ushered in.
"..."
"Okay, the IM team is disbanded and officially on vacation!"
As the TV turned off with a "snap", IM boss announced the official holiday.
But just when Lu Haoran was about to leave the training room with the IM players, the boss's voice suddenly sounded.
"Manager Lu, come to the office with me. I have something to tell you."
The boss said to Lu Haoran, his expression seemed a little decisive.
"Okay, I need to go to the toilet, I'll be there right away."
Lu Haoran said with a wry smile. He had just witnessed the defeat of edg and was called by his boss to talk. He must have hoped that he would continue to lead the IM team to create better results next year and win glory for the lpl!
But what Lu Haoran never expected was that when he stepped into his boss's office, he was greeted with a "Notice of Termination"!
"Termination?"
"Boss, why?"
Seeing this notice, Lu Haoran was completely confused.
"There is no reason. It's just that after discussion with the club, I think you are not strong enough to lead the IM team to achieve better results."
"IM has already found a better manager, so I'm sorry, IM no longer has a place for you."
"But don't worry, we will prepare the compensation and so on."
The boss said to Lu Haoran calmly, as if he was describing an insignificant matter.
"My strength is not good enough?"
"Isn't this a joke?!"
"In this year, I led the IM team from LSPL to LPL, and then from LPL to the World Championship!"
"Isn't the result of three consecutive jumps enough to prove my strength?!"
Lu Haoran looked at the boss and felt ridiculous in his heart!
Even if it means crossing a river and demolishing a bridge, that’s not how it’s done, right?!
"Im did complete a triple jump, but Manager Lu, it seems that all this has nothing to do with you, right?"
"We are able to achieve results because of the strong performance of the players and the great tactics of the coach. To be more direct, even without you as the team manager, the IM team can still complete the triple jump!"
"No need to say more, Manager Lu, just pack your things and leave. The new manager will be coming to IM this afternoon."
The boss waved his hand mercilessly at Lu Haoran, as if he never wanted to look at Lu Haoran again!
"hehe."
"okok, I'm leaving."
"I hope you won't regret today's decision in the future!"
Lu Haoran looked at the ruthless IM boss, sneered twice, then turned and left.
Half an hour later, a new job application was posted on Lu Haoran's personal scarf.
“Ex-IM managers are applying for jobs online.”
"Historical results: Leading the IM team to complete three consecutive jumps!"
"Requirements: There is no salary requirement, but you need to have sufficient team management rights, especially the rights to purchase and trade players."
"What can I bring to the team: a seat in the S7 World Championship Finals!"
Lu Haoran's job application information is very simple, but between the lines, there is extreme trust in himself!
Where does this “inexplicable” confidence come from?
It comes from Lu Haoran’s identity!
He is not only the former manager of the IM team, but also a reborn person!
A year ago, when he was fighting against other managers in the "League of Legends E-Sports Manager" game and it was hard to separate, Lu Haoran suddenly blacked out and passed out.
When I woke up again, I went back to 2015 and became the second team of the edg team, which is now the team manager of the im team!
As the strongest king of E-1, the strongest manager of "League of Legends E-Sports Manager", and a loyal fan of LPL, Lu Haoran thought that with his rich experience, he could lead the IM team to win the world championship directly no matter what.
!
But who would have known that IM boss does not recognize his "vision" at all and does not give him the right to buy and trade players!
In the first year, Lu Haoran accepted it. After all, he had no results and could not have any say in the team.
So he worked diligently and without complaint, leading IM to complete the historical miracle of three consecutive jumps within one year!
But just when Lu Haoran thought that he could finally purchase some potential players during this transfer period to complete the reinforcement of the IM team...
IM boss actually fired me!
"It's really interesting."
"If he knew my true identity, I'm afraid he would regret it enough to kowtow to me."
"But that's okay. Now that I have achieved results, there will always be teams that choose to believe in me."
Lu Haoran chuckled in his heart and dragged his suitcase towards a nearby hotel.
And when he was checking in, his scarf was already fried.
"Im's former manager? Was he fired by IM?"
"Does Lu Haoran really think that IM's ability to jump three times in a row is due to him as a manager? He has a far-fetched relationship with him, is this going to put a premium on his own face?"
"You can definitely qualify for the S7 World Championship? There are so many teams in the entire LPL, which team's goal is not the World Championship? How come you, Lu Haoran, can qualify for one of the three?"
"I laughed. Isn't Lu Haoran really not afraid of the Yusan family's attention? Or does he want to be the manager of the Yusan family?"
"How is it possible? How could Yusanjia find someone who has been fired as a manager?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he lost his job just after the World Championship. This Lu Haoran is also a poor man!"
"Why should I be pitiful? There must be something hateful about a pitiful person. He is so arrogant, so it is normal for him to be fired from IM!"
"I want to see which team would invite such a person to be a manager!"
…
Lu Haoran doesn't have many scarf fans, but today, because of this short job search message, it still caused quite a stir.
Of course, most of the people who came to comment under his scarf were passers-by who mocked him for not overestimating his abilities.
Lu Haoran didn't react at all to these. After all, he had experienced hundreds of battles in Zu'an, and his ability to withstand pressure had reached a terrifying level!
"Say whatever you want."
"As long as a team wants me, I can prove to everyone what it means to be the strongest manager!"
"What does drawing a card mean?"
Lu Haoran clenched his fists and shouted loudly.
And just when he had just taken a shower and was about to take a good nap, his cell phone suddenly rang.
