LOL: The No. 1 Succubus in the eSports Circle

Chapter 215 The name of the child has been decided

(PS: A new heroine appears in this chapter)
After having lunch and saying goodbye to his three sisters, Cui Ze returned to the base to start afternoon training, and life returned to normal.

There's not much to say about the days in the base. Training in the afternoon, eating in the evening, training at night, live streaming and ranking late at night. In my free time, I occasionally play solo with Bai Xiaoyun to relieve boredom.

It has to be said that Bai Xiaoyun's work as a "life assistant" is indeed impeccable. She has a lively personality, is proactive, serious and meticulous, and works with team leader Park Kwang-hoon to take care of the team members in an orderly manner.

Especially in "daily" work, Bai Xiaoyun did the best and was deeply loved by Cui Ze.

They will have an away game against RNG on the 20th, and the schedule is to fly to Beijing on the 19th to prepare for the game, which means they only have two days to prepare in the Magic City.

However, compared to the all-round attention during the German Cup, this time neither the players nor the coaching staff paid much attention to the upcoming faceoff against RNG.

First of all, due to the revision of the S9 season, the ecological niche of the top lane has undergone fundamental changes.

The emergence of defense tower plating makes it more difficult to push towers in the early stages, but the existence of the plating bounty also makes the online confrontation more intense, and the importance of the Rift Herald becomes more intuitive.

If teams want to compete for the Rift Herald, the hero selection and laning ability of the top unit has become an important aspect that each team must carefully consider and design.

As of now, among the top laners of the 16 LPL teams, TheShy is the only player who has reached the world's top level.

Next are XiaoAL and Flandre, but this is just the general perception of LPL at the moment.

Cui Ze, who has a certain God's perspective, knows very well that Lang Xing's upper limit is indeed much lower than that of Li Xuanjun.

Including 369 and Zoom, who are still in the rookie stage of LPL, their development potential is much stronger than Langxing, not to mention "Wow Bin" Chen Zebin, who dared to argue with the coach shortly after joining SN's second team.

At present, the base space of Suning Club is not very large. The second team is not in the base, but rents two residential buildings in the suburbs, one for accommodation and the other for training.

However, it won't be long before this situation changes - Suning's new base has been completed and accepted, and the club has already scheduled the relocation dates for its various teams. Among them, the LOL team will officially move to the new base on January 1.

After we go to Xi'an to play against WE on the 23rd, we can move directly to our new home when we come back.

At that time, Team One and Team Two will inevitably meet, and then we will be able to see with our own eyes the "Love Camille" who is not even 16 years old yet.

On the 17th and 18th, Cui Ze's life was very ordinary.

However, recently, Maple has appeared less and less in the training room, and manager Li Xinyuan occasionally disappears.

Speaking of which, this has a lot to do with Cui Ze.

However, he didn't care about the situation of Li Xinyuan and Maple.

In a normal League of Legends team, the most important position must be the mid lane. Right now, Maple has been completely relegated to the bench because of his "connection".

Not to mention Sheshe's ambiguous attitude. Although he and Maple are from the same FW Flash Wolves, their friendship over the years does not seem as profound as imagined. On the contrary, after more than a month of getting along with each other, it has become obvious that he is inclined towards her.

The team's overall training and competition situation is getting better and better. Now the whole SN team regards him as the backbone. From Lin Qing, the assistant general manager who actually holds the power of the club, to the life assistant, the cook and other grassroots logistics personnel, it can be said that they are all his firm supporters.

Li Xinyuan's ability to control the League of Legends division is no longer as good as before.

Seriously speaking, his position as branch manager is now in name only. Since the opening of the spring season, many matters concerning the branch have been decided solely by the general assistant Lin Qing.

If the current situation continues to develop, Cui Ze feels that there is no need to wait until next season. It is estimated that during the summer transfer period, Li Xinyuan will take Maple and run away to other clubs, and it is not impossible that he will even sneak back to Taiwan.

By the way, after the training match on the 17th, Lin Qing specially found Cui Ze for a talk.

The content of the conversation was naturally about the public opinion surrounding him.

As a new traffic star in LPL, Cui Ze has attracted countless female fans with his super high looks. What attracts the most attention is not even his performance on the court, but his emotional problems.

It is not uncommon for e-sports players to talk about girlfriends and get involved in gossip. There have even been many cases of cheating, abortions, prostitution and other dirty things that would impact the positive image of the players, clubs and even the league itself.

Some clubs have stricter management over their players. For example, EDG strictly prohibits players from dating. Even if they do date, they will be advised to break up or have public relations handle the situation coldly to minimize the impact of public opinion.

Suning Club's management of players' emotions is relatively relaxed. There is no explicit stipulation that players cannot fall in love. The club even provides some convenient opportunities for players to fall in love as long as it does not delay training or competition.

Cui Ze remembers very clearly that when SN played against VG in the original time and space, Maple's girlfriend Lin Yongen (LMS region host) was "secretly" invited by SN to watch the game on site, creating a post-match surprise for Maple.

This time, the "insider" broke the news about Choi Taek and Xi Ran's relationship, which did cause quite a stir in the circle. However, compared to the numerous blessings that Rookie and Xiao Yu received when they officially announced their relationship, the public opinion surrounding Choi Taek is indeed somewhat mixed.

Even though Xi Ran promptly posted a Weibo update to "clarify" that she and Cui Ze were only siblings, there were still some extreme female fans who refused to give in, and even sent private messages to the club's operating account to question it, or commented on the club's updates to criticize and demand an explanation.

The club is willing to deal with this situation, but they naturally need to communicate with Cui Ze about what method to use. After all, he is the focus of public opinion.

Cui Ze felt that it would be more appropriate to deal with this matter coldly.

After all, after Xiran posted an update on Weibo to explain the situation, there are only a very small number of female fans who are still stirring up trouble. As the spring season continues, they will naturally gradually disappear.

In addition, Cui Ze also confessed to Lin Qing that when they face RNG away in Yanjing on the 20th, Rita will go to the scene to cheer for him. At that time, there may be a new wave of public opinion, so he suggested that the club operation team make preparations in advance.

Lin Qing was speechless after hearing this.

How can this be considered a suggestion?
It's clearly an advance notice.

Without waiting for Lin Qing to nod in agreement, Cui Ze gave another "suggestion": after Rita arrives on the 20th to cheer him on, the club can consider whether to invite Rita to the new base for a visit program based on the subsequent development of public opinion.

Lin Qing’s first reaction was: No buddy, don’t play with fire!

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Cui Ze’s proposal was not bad and very feasible.

In fact, many times, when industries that are highly related to the Internet want to monetize, what they need to rely on most is the thing that people both love and hate - traffic!
The greater the traffic, the greater the attention, but also the greater the controversy.

But no matter what, increased attention means that you can attract more fans, and more fans mean stronger monetization capabilities.

Isn't that what RNG does?

Even though they failed in S8, the number of fans accumulated through two years of marketing with an all-Chinese team is still enough to compete with IG, a club that just won the world championship, and the verbal battles between fans have not completely put them at a disadvantage.

In fact, whether it is traditional sports competitions or emerging e-sports, if you want to realize monetization and make profits, the most important thing is to find a suitable way to monetize traffic.

Therefore, in order to expand the fan base, it is inevitable to conflict with peers, and in order to gather fans, it is inevitable to confront other fan groups.

Fan circles were born out of conflicts between fan groups.

Therefore, Cui Ze’s proposal is indeed very feasible.

It is foreseeable that once Rita arrives at the scene on the 20th to support SN and him, there will definitely be another wave of public opinion afterwards, and the discussion about Choi Taek's emotional state will inevitably be rampant.

With discussion, there will be traffic; with traffic, more fans can be attracted.

Regardless of whether this wave of traffic is good or bad, at least we have to create it first, otherwise the goal of monetizing the fan economy will be empty talk. So let’s create it!

Since you have decided that traffic is the main focus, you can’t worry about this or that. Since the results won’t come out for the time being, you can only focus on marketing first.

……

"Hey...finally got off the plane!"

January 1, 19:16, Terminal 2 of Beijing Capital International Airport.

When a group of SN team members from the regular server landed in Yanjing, the first words of the hacker were complaints, but judging from his excited expression, he was still looking forward to this trip to the north.

It is impossible not to look forward to it. After all, Uzi is recuperating and not playing. If he doesn't take this opportunity to step on RNG and gain traffic, when will he take this opportunity?
In fact, judging from the degree of coordination of SN's current lineup, even if Uzi did not recuperate and did not play, SN would not be at all inferior. After all, they had already been shut out in the German Cup.

As for replacing top laner LetMe with AmazingJ, it can only be said that there is no essential difference. Both of them are tanky guys. In the laning phase, Langxing can completely suppress them, not to mention the three-on-one military training between the mid and jungle.

In one sentence: Playing against RNG, no pressure!

"Wow, Aze, you've really become a big star. Even in such a cold day, you still have fans coming to pick you up at the airport!" Sheshe smiled and pointed in the direction of the airport pickup area. There were a few girls holding signs and calling out to them.

Things like "Ahhh, husband", "Aze, look here", "Choi Ze, you're so handsome", made Choi Ze feel a little embarrassed.

After all, the number of fans is still too small. If it were those popular stars in the entertainment industry, the number of fans picking them up at the airport would definitely be more than this. It would be embarrassing if there were less than a hundred or so.

In comparison, the number of female fans who came to pick him up at the airport today could be counted on two hands.

Cui Ze did not expect that after he just mentioned in the fan group that he would come to Yanjing in the afternoon of the 19th to prepare for the competition, there would actually be fans who came to pick him up at the airport.

However, it was such a cold day and he didn't want to disappoint the fans, so Choi Ze handed the suitcase to the hacker and ran over to greet the fans.

Sign those who should sign, take photos with those who should take photos, and chat with each of them to make them happy.

"Wow, Aze, you are so handsome!"

"Aze, can you give me a to-sign? My name is..."

"Aze, this is a gift I prepared for you. The chances of being selected for the post-match interview are too low, so I'm giving it to you now. Remember to open it and read it when you get back~"

"Aze, Aze, is there any live broadcast tonight?"

Cui Ze smiled and replied: "There is no environment for live broadcasting in the hotel. The computers and equipment are not complete. Let's live broadcast after returning to Shanghai."

"It's okay. You can use your phone to broadcast live. Anyway, we don't..."

The girl stopped talking midway, but of course Cui Ze knew what she meant.

"Ah, you guys are just greedy for my body!"

Hearing Choi Ze's complaints, the female fans surrounding him couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After signing, it’s time to take a photo.

In order to avoid making his teammates wait too long, Cui Ze took the phone from a female fan and suggested that they take a group photo, which the female fan would then share with everyone.

Although they were obviously a little dissatisfied, they still agreed.

So Cui Ze handed the phone to Bai Xiaoyun and asked her to help take this photo.

"OK, everyone look towards the camera, everyone smile, 3, 2..."

At this moment, a crowd of people rushed in and scattered the female fans who were posing behind Cui Ze.

A stream of people rushed to the airport pick-up gate. A small number of them held pick-up signs, most of them held up their mobile phones to take pictures, and a small number of them held quite professional cameras and kept clicking the shutter.

"Dudu!"

"Ahhh Dudu you're so beautiful!"

"Cheng Duling I love you!!!"

"The bells go all the way, and everything will work out!"

Well, now I know what's going on without even looking.

Look at the number of fans, look at the slogans...

But forget about picking you up at the airport, but please don’t crowd in with people!

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Cui Ze was still very concerned about his fans and immediately turned around to check the situation.

Because there was a guardrail between them, it was difficult for him to help. Fortunately, the crowd was crowded and only that one wave occurred. After they found that someone had been squeezed and fell, they immediately avoided the area and no stampede occurred.

After being helped up, the two fans complained:
"It's okay, but these people are too rude. Is it necessary to be so anxious to pick someone up at the airport? Are you in a hurry to be reborn?"

"That's right, she's so uncultured. I used to think Cheng Duling was pretty good, but now I'm turning my back on her!"

“…” Cui Ze didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Sisters, if you are squeezed and fall down, why blame your idols instead of looking for the person who squeezed you?
It's really just fans' behavior, idols should pay for it...

Cui Ze had a premonition that he might face the same fate someday.

Or there may not be a need for it in the future, because his group of female fans who are very powerful in the e-sports circle may have already caused him a lot of "enemies" in various communities on the Internet.

"Excuse me, are you guys okay?"

Just as Choi Ze was thinking about whether to finish taking the group photo and then say goodbye to his fans, a slightly low female voice suddenly came from behind him.

Looking back, he saw a beautiful lady wearing an indigo woolen coat, a grey turtleneck sweater and a grey beret on her head walking slowly towards him. There was a faint and gentle smile on her lips and concern in her lively eyes.

Cui Ze suddenly felt his heart beating uncontrollably.

At this moment, he even thought of the name of the child.

Dudu is finally on stage, let’s throw flowers!
