Since retiring and working as a coach in a youth academy, Tiger's life has become very boring.
Every day, the dormitory, training room, and cafeteria are busy with activities at three o'clock and one line, and there is no passion or new ideas at all.
The only consolation may be to watch the energetic newcomers constantly improve themselves. He has witnessed Chi Lian evolve from a cute new player who was at the bottom of KDA every game to a powerful output that averages 40% damage per game.
I also witnessed the progress of other students...
This is his greatest pleasure.
But since he left the KPL, there is not a day that goes by that Tiger doesn’t miss his old days.
Fight side by side with your teammates from Team Prime and capture the enemy's crystals again and again.
But he knew that his condition had begun to decline, and his reactions and operations were no longer excellent. In order not to drag everyone down, he reluctantly announced his retirement.
But whenever he sees the fierce battle between the Prime team and other teams on the screen, Tiger's hands still can't help but feel itchy.
He is eager to fight and to gain honor again!
During the time he came to the KPL youth training camp, no one knew his inner thoughts.
His students seldom care about him, but just regard him as a tool responsible for guiding everyone's skills.
Now that he saw Lin Yan, he was immediately told what was on his mind. This boy seemed to have the ability to read minds, and he immediately revealed Tiger's inner thoughts.
Tiger was very emotional at this moment because he could play the game again.
He can return to the stage he loves again.
"Thank you, Xiaoyan, thank you for saying these words for me." Tiger said with some choking.
Lin Yan smiled and said: "You're welcome, Brother Hu, this is what I should do."
Afterwards, Tiger looked back at his apprentices, nodded and said, "Thank you for understanding me, and thank you for supporting your old coach to continue to pursue his dream."
Chi Lian quickly smiled and said: "Master, don't say that. We have actually thought for a long time that it would be a pity for you to retire at such a young age. You are obviously still in good condition and can still play professionally for a few more years."
"That's it." Another student also nodded and said, "Coach, once you take action, you will definitely be able to dominate TGA's invincible opponents!"
Tiger smiled and nodded.
In his current state, it will definitely be very difficult to play in KPL. If it weren't for this, he would not abdicate in favor of others.
But for the secondary league TGA, his current status is definitely no problem.
Although the reaction and operation are a bit slow, the rich experience and sophisticated awareness can completely make up for this shortcoming.
"Don't worry, I will never come back unless I get good grades!" Tiger said firmly.
Chi Lian and the others smiled and nodded, and came over to hug Tiger goodbye one by one, while sending their blessings.
"Come on, coach!"
"Master, come on!"
"Coach, I'm waiting for your good news!"
"..."
…
On the same day, Tiger went through the temporary withdrawal procedures at the KPL youth training camp and applied for one month to participate in the TGA Grand Prix.
Because Tiger is a veteran KPL player and has always had a very upright character, taking his work seriously and treating his colleagues sincerely, the youth training camp did not stop him and directly allowed him to sign up for the TGA Grand Prix.
In this way, the Revenge team welcomed the most powerful player since their formation - the mid laner of the former KPL championship team: Tiger, as their new member.
On the way back, Jingzhe couldn't help but said: "If Chen Siyu knew that the mid laner who replaced him was Tiger, would this guy faint from excitement?"
"It's really possible. The monitor is a die-hard fan of Team Prime!" Guo Hao joked with a smile.
A Wei looked back at Tiger, who was sitting not far away, and whispered: "I can't believe that Tiger actually joined our team. There is also a poster in my bedroom of the Prime team's first championship. At that time, Tiger
Standing in the first seat on the left in the back row, my God... the person in the poster in my bedroom is actually next to me, can you understand this feeling?"
Jingzhe also nodded and said: "Me too, me too. I also have a photo of the Prime team, but it's not a poster, it's a photo saved on my phone..."
Having said this, she quickly took out her phone and rummaged through it.
Sure enough, there is actually a photo of the Prime team in it, in which Tiger has a very youthful hairstyle, wearing the Prime team uniform, standing next to the team.
Looking back at Tiger today, everyone can't help but feel that he has changed a bit, his figure has become slimmer, and his hair has grown a bit longer.
Tiger, who was sitting in his seat listening to the song, didn't notice everyone watching at first, but because everyone was watching so frequently, Tiger's attention was finally caught.
He raised his head suddenly and met the other members of the Revenge team. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You...why are you looking at me?"
The Revenge team felt guilty and quickly shook their heads and said: "Nothing, nothing..."
After taking the bus back to the city, everyone found a teahouse to sit down and discuss the competition.
The five members of the Revenge team have been assembled. The next step is to determine the captain and arrange registration.
After everyone sat down, Lin Yan took the lead and said: "Brother Hu, you are a former professional player among the five of us. You are the strongest among the five of us in terms of experience and prestige. You must be the captain."
Next to him, Guo Hao added supportively: "Yes, and you are also the oldest."
Tiger couldn't help but be touched by Guo Hao's addition, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "I think the most important reason is that I am the oldest, right?"
Guo Hao quickly apologized: "No, no, Master Tiger, I was wrong, I said the wrong thing..."
A Wei explained dumbfounded: "Brother Hu, you don't need to pay attention to him, this kid just talks uncontrollably."
Of course, Tiger would not really get angry with Guo Hao, but said with a bright smile: "Okay, since you said so, I will serve as the captain."
The captain must be responsible for the morale and status of a team, and must be responsible for command during combat.
What people in this position need most is prestige and experience, while ability and game level come second.
Looking at the Revenge team, Lin Yan is undoubtedly the strongest one now. However, Lin Yan lacks Tiger's experience and maturity, so he is naturally inferior in terms of captaincy.
Lin Yan and the others were also very happy to hear Tiger agree.
At this time, Lin Yan said again: "Now that the captain has been selected, our next step is to sign up."
To register for the TGA Grand Prix, each team must first pay a registration fee that is not cheap. Unfortunately, the Revenge team is different from other teams with capital background. They are a completely self-organized grassroots team.
Other teams can have the boss pay the money first, but the Revenge team can only collect the money from the players.
After taking a look at Reveiger, he saw that they were all students with little source of income. Since he agreed to be the captain, he naturally had to stand up and set an example.
"You don't have to worry about the registration. I will be responsible for the registration." Tiger said with a smile.
When Lin Yan heard this, he immediately guessed that Tiger was going to pay the registration fee himself.
After winning the KPL championship with the Prime team and working as a coach during this period, Tiger did have some savings, but his money was also hard-earned, and Lin Yan could not let him spend it for no reason.
"Brother Hu, you don't have to worry about the registration fee. We have already collected it." Lin Yan said straightforwardly.
"Huh?" Tiger was stunned and asked curiously, "You are all students, where do you get the money?"
Lin Yan smiled and said: "That's right, the TGA Grand Prix is not the first competition that our Revenge team has participated in. We also participated in a championship held by a high school before and won the championship. All of us made money.
A lot of bonuses..."
Jingzhe also proudly said: "Yes, this bonus is more than enough to register for the TGA Grand Prix."
Tiger suddenly realized it, recalled it, and said: "I know, it was the competition that Han Meng's alma mater also participated in, right? Haha, it seems that you also defeated Han Meng's alma mater team?"
"Yes." Lin Yan said, "So Brother Hu, just feel free to be the captain, we won't let you spend money."
Tiger said firmly: "No, since I am a member of the team, I have to pay for it. The registration fee should be shared equally among the five of us at least."
