LOL: I've already been transferred to the manager, but you just came to the system

Chapter 105 The ultimate free-range training!
4 month 27 day.

Jin Gong finally said goodbye to the GT training base and took the subway to Zhangjiang Science City in Shanghai alone.

He is 22 years old this year. As a player who joined the professional arena in 13, he is already considered a veteran in the LOL project.

Although I am not as exaggerated as Sunshine who is 14 years old, I have come to LPL to play games since , and now I am almost at the end of my career.

After watching the semi-finals of the LPL playoffs, he didn't want to, and wasn't willing to, be like Sunshine, who could only watch the championship trophy from afar and leave this beloved competitive arena very sadly.

Not to mention that he doesn't have the talent like Sunshine, who can transform himself into the ultimate winner of another smooth road when his path as a contestant is blocked.

Can't stay in GT anymore.

He has been thinking about it over and over again these past two days. Even if he stays in GT, what's the point? The club's financial situation is not even as good as WE's. They can't buy strong players, and a coaching staff with real skills will not come. Not to mention that GT's teammates have already entered the stage of being in a bad state. What's the point of such a team re-entering the LPL in the summer season this year?

Still at the bottom, and then playing the role of the other team's points baby again and again.

Tightening the luggage bag in his hand, GimGoon made up his mind that even if he failed the trial training with TES, he would never go back.

The half-hour subway ride passed in a flash. Before he could even marvel at the speed of transportation in Shanghai, Jin Gong followed the crowded crowd toward the exit of Zhangjiang Science City, which was revealing a glimmer of light.

After exiting the subway station, walk about five or six hundred meters northeast and you will see the eye-catching sign of the TES e-sports club.

At the fork in the road in front of the base, assistant Xiao Cheng temporarily took on the role of LOL division manager, coming to welcome the players who were coming to the club for trial training today.

"Welcome to our TES e-sports club. I'm Mr. Lin's assistant. I'll be in charge of the reception for today's tryout." Xiao Cheng was wearing a black and white OL professional suit that was very capable and highlighted his points. He had a faint smile on his somewhat neutral face. "Please wait a moment. There will be another kid coming to our club for a tryout today. He'll be here soon!"

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the aura of the professional strong woman, Jin Gong twisted his neck and looked behind him.

A thin boy carrying a suitcase was jogging from across the street.

As if he had noticed the TES club logo behind the two people, a pair of eyes on his thin face suddenly lit up.

"Excuse me, are you the person in charge of the TES club?" Able smiled timidly at the two of them.

"Yes!" Xiao Cheng also stretched out his hand and briefly stated his identity again.

"You two follow me!"

"Jin Gong?" The thin boy nodded in thanks, and then his eyes fell on the burly man next to him.

As an e-sports player, he certainly knew the GT top laner who had performed brilliantly in the LPL arena.

It’s just a bit surprising that TES club included this player in its top lane selection.

Dai Zhichun only appears to be not good at speaking, but in fact he has a more thorough understanding of many issues than his peers.

For example, if he had no choice, he might have gritted his teeth and signed the contract offered by the previous club.

But when he learned that coach newborn did not bring the AD from ELK or IG to the new club, he knew his chance had come.

Enter LPL in one fell swoop, the only chance in this life!
"uh-huh……"

Jin Gong, who was walking side by side, had no idea that the little guy next to him was brainstorming, and he responded with a vague response.

He had heard about the LPL youth training selection held some time ago, but GT happened to be relegated at that time, so he had no time to pay attention to external information. He just knew about a few newcomers who often appeared in the live broadcast room.

This little guy in front of me seemed to be in IG or RNG before?

"You two, we're here!"

When we arrived at the gate of a courtyard, Assistant Cheng, who had passed facial recognition, turned around and made a welcoming gesture.

Jin Gong and Able nodded and followed.

There is a small courtyard at the entrance of the club with many flowers and plants. There is also a small pond for raising fish on the left hand side as you enter the door.

Jin Gong was in a daze. Was he really coming to an e-sports club instead of a resort?

Assistant Cheng continued, "The first floor is the living area of ​​our club. The restaurant, entertainment, and daily activities of the players are all here. Going down to the right is our underground storage room and parking lot. Today is a special situation, so our base vehicle is temporarily parked at the door."

The two followed Assistant Cheng's gaze.

A brand new Coaster was parked at the right corner, and two craftsmen were working on it.

"TES..."

The iconic club logo is spray-painted on the body of the car.

A bit handsome!
This was Dai Zhichun’s first impression. The team letters were artistically processed under the classic red and white color scheme. The tails of the T and S had a bit more edge, and from a distance it looked like a giant dragon swinging its tail.

The two of them just stood at the door and looked at each other for more than a minute.

After entering the lobby, Assistant Cheng signaled to the receptionist at the door to help take the luggage. After the two put down their bags, he continued to introduce.

“We planned and designed the first floor of the club according to Mr. Lin’s ideas.”

"What you two are seeing now is our future Hall of Honor!"

Opposite the front desk is a row of sofas. Behind the sofas are wall cabinets containing some books and small decorations. The Hall of Honor that Assistant Cheng mentioned is behind a wall with the logo of the TES e-sports club hanging on it. People enter from both sides.

"Uh, isn't this the Hall of Honor? Why are there only flower pots..."

Looking at the items placed in the glass cabinets on both sides, Jin Gong blurted out subconsciously.

Dai Zhichun: …

Brother, you have to be so honest. It's a newly established club and the game hasn't been played yet. Where would you put the trophies of honor? What else can you put in it if not flower pots?

Assistant Cheng didn't mind and said frankly, "The design of the honor cabinets on both sides was originally intended by General Manager Lin to motivate all members of the club. Putting it on the first floor means we will be proud of the many honors. If we can't achieve any results, we can put some flower pots here and let people make fun of us."

"Oh, by the way, could you please provide the WeChat QR code?"

Assistant Cheng, who was about to take the two people to the training room after introducing the living area in the back, suddenly said.

Dai Zhichun: “WeChat QR code?”

"Yes, out of respect for the players who have trusted our TES club, and to make up for the time wasted by everyone coming to the club for trial training, General Manager Lin asked to provide the players with trial training subsidies in the form of red envelopes before the actual training."

The subsidy is not much, just 500 yuan!
But this was enough to cause a great shock to the fragile hearts of the two.

What...what...when will you come for the trial? Is there any club that will give you a subsidy of 500 yuan first?

Assistant Cheng smiled calmly, not feeling complacent about the two people's surprised expressions.

Seeing the reactions of the two, she should have a different sense of accomplishment in her heart, the kind of happiness that she had after graduating from college and failing in social interviews, and now she can give the interviewer a little warmth in this way to make up for her past happiness. And the red envelopes will be sent to the other party's mobile phone not after the tryout, but the moment the players arrive at the club.

Mainly because she was too busy today, she didn’t have time to add each other on WeChat in advance.

Think about it, if the red envelope was sent out after a tryout fails, it would have a bit of pity and charity, but sending it out in advance would fully reflect the humanistic care of this club.

"The restaurant is also on the first floor. The club's dinner time is usually at six o'clock, but there are always cakes and fruits available in the restaurant."

"There is a small tea bar next to the restaurant, but it cannot be used for the time being."

"Opposite the tea bar is the players' entertainment area, where they can enjoy a variety of console games..."

Jin Gong and Dai Zhichun were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They felt overwhelmed as they listened to Assistant Cheng's introduction.

Big!
Extra large!

This floor is probably over a thousand square meters.

Thousands of square meters?
If Lin Shuyang knew what the two were thinking, he would probably laugh out loud. You are really underestimating the inhumanity of Top Sports.

Apart from anything else, the training base where they are now has a training room on the second floor alone that is over 800 square meters, which is 100 square meters more than the 700 square meters of EDG on Lingshi Road next door. It is undoubtedly the largest club in the entire LPL.

The training base is not just a single building, there are two small buildings connected behind it, so the space is infinitely expanded by stacking them.

The club will add physiotherapists, gyms and other facilities in the future.

Other clubs may skimp on hardware because the investment and returns in e-sports are not proportional.

However, for Top Sports, the e-sports and young people's markets have proven to be a hot commodity that can convert traffic. The money spent on the e-sports base is not as big as the money spent on advertisers in the past.

"Now I'll take you two to the training room on the second floor!"

Finally, before Jin Gong and Able's psychological endurance was about to reach its limit, Assistant Cheng finally said the words they had been waiting for for a long time.

Come try out now.

Wow, you just keep introducing how great the club is, but don’t you consider whether we would feel bad when we’re struggling here over whether we can stay?
……

"Are you two bringing your own keyboard and mouse, or do you need one provided by the club?"

Assistant coach 694 was making pre-match arrangements in the training room. He looked at the two and asked softly.

Jin Gong unpacked his luggage bag, "No, I brought it myself."

"Um...please give me a set." Aable raised his hand helplessly.

Unlike GimGoon, who has been receiving club salary for several years as a professional player.

His family didn't support him in playing e-sports this time, so it was impossible for them to provide him with financial support.

Even part of his meal and taxi expenses were sponsored by Firefox coach, so it was really difficult for him to have a set of qualified e-sports peripherals.

694 then asked about the usage habits of the e-sports peripherals, and after confirming, he made a phone call and had the logistics staff deliver them.

While waiting for the game to start, the two looked around TES's training base.

Big!
Similar to the previous reaction, the first impression of TES’s training base is that it is big.

There are two rows of gaming tables on the left and right, with a very spacious aisle in the middle. There is also a huge floor-to-ceiling window opposite the entrance. Under the window are two rows of lazy sofa lounges where you can lie down and enjoy the river view.

There is a row of sofas on the wall side of the entrance, and a monitor is hung directly opposite the sofas.

"It seems to be the place where the team watches the game together." Jin Gong thought.

It's really a bit outrageous.

Take the training room of TES and compare it with GT. If they squeeze in two rows of e-sports tables in the middle, it could probably accommodate four LOL teams.

"Let me first tell you about your arrangements. You have two days of trial training. Today, the boss is out of the base, so I will arrange a simple BO3 match. Tomorrow, the boss will personally arrange it."

"Two days...Does the club provide food and accommodation?" Able asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, the club will take care of your food and lodging."

After two months of training, 694 gradually gained the composure that a team leader should have. While explaining to the two people, he looked outside the training room door.

"Able, your peripherals have arrived. We will start the training match right away." 694 turned to look at the three players sitting at the computer table, "Xiang Tao, please ask WE.A if they are ready."

WE.A, that is, after President Pei sold the quota of me, he quickly acquired a team that barely managed to stay in the secondary league. After getting the quota, it was renamed we.a and continued to compete in the secondary league as the second team of WE.

Now Team One is busy preparing for the Spring Finals and has no time to play a trial match with them. Besides, with the current TES lineup and basically zero coordination, picking a fight with WE is just asking for trouble.

“They said no problem, we can start anytime.”

"Okay, find a seat." 694 pointed at the computer desk, "You can sit in the empty AD position reserved by Xiaotian and the others. If you're not used to it, you can sit across from them."

The microphones are always turned on during team training matches, and the positions of the players don’t have much impact.

When it came to choosing seats, Jin Gong and Able exchanged glances and sat down next to Xiaotian and the other two in tacit understanding.

"Brother Yang's Thousand Layer Pancake routine can really be seen everywhere..."

694 shook his head, complaining in his heart. Seeing that the five people were ready, he arranged the trial match that was about to begin.

"Brother Yang has made a special request for today's tryout. Please try to win as much as possible. The win or loss of the game will account for a portion of the tryout reference points."

"In the first game, we played a double-roaming system of mid, jungle and support, which means that the top laner and AD could be sacrificed at any time."

"Player GimGoon, you will basically not get any help from the jungler in this game. The team needs to understand your ability to withstand pressure and thrive. Please decide for yourself whether to support and when to join the team."

Jin Gong nodded: "Understood!"

As for handling pressure, he is good at it.

Although he has been the dean of GT for a while, the style of the top unit in the entire LPL region is still more blue-collar. It is not surprising that the club's ultimate free-range tactics for the top laner require GimGoon.

On the contrary, for Able, this also required him to withstand pressure, which made Jin Gong a little surprised.

As mentioned above, the reason why LPL requires a blue-collar top laner is often to support the AD in the lower half. The main mid and lower double C or even the more extreme four-protect-one lineup is the code of LPL's division. TES now actually treats AD as a tool man.
