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

Chapter 112 I only regret not reading enough books!!
After the end of MSI, the teams in each major region have truly welcomed their own vacation.

However, the holiday is only for some clubs. After all, they have been on vacation since the end of the spring regular season. The champions of each major region and the strong contenders for the championship are still busy strengthening their preparations for the start of the summer season.

The most outrageous of these was the LCK region. They had just finished the Mid-Season Invitational on May 22nd, and they couldn't wait to sound the battle drum for the summer season on the 30th.

In other words, SKT, which won the championship, had less than a week of rest time.

Well... to be precise, after winning the championship, the SKT club was very "generous" and gave the players three days of rest, which also included one day of travel time... and then all the players returned to the team on the 26th to start the next round of training, and once again launched an attack for the club's goal of three consecutive championships.

Think about it, it's hard to get one day of vacation in one or two months, and even after winning the championship at the end of the season, he only had two or three days of rest. It's no wonder that Bang expressed that there is no difference between winning the championship and not winning the championship. He then started meditation mode in this summer season, and his condition deteriorated rapidly after he started to reduce the amount of training.

The LPL summer season started ten days late and will not officially begin until June 8th. The start date is late, and the end time is of course late. This is why many LPL viewers complained that the competition system in their own region is unreasonable, and they always have to wait ten days or half a month later than the next door to get in touch with the world competition version.

You are still fighting for a place in the World Championship by relying on the playoffs, while others have already started studying their opponents in the World Championship, and you are far behind others in understanding the version.

The competition started on June 8th, but the draw ceremony was scheduled early on May 30th.

The summer season draw ceremony was held at 19:30 on the same day at Shanghai Zhengda Plaza. The competition system is the same as the spring season. The twelve teams will be divided into two groups, A and B, with a double round-robin mode for the same group and a single round-robin mode for different groups.

On that day, Lin Shuyang brought 694 and the managers and coaches of the other eleven teams to the draw site to witness the grouping results.

For the pre-match grouping, the LPL official arranged WE's former AD player Wei Xiao to serve as the draw guest, while Riot Games and Tencent Games sent representatives Li Chun and Jasper as on-site guests to comment on the group draw results.

After the draw, the members of groups A and B were exactly the same as in Lin Shuyang's memory.

Group A: EDG, WE, IG, SS, IM, TES!

Group B: RNG, OMG, NB, SNG, JDG, LGD!

Yes, their TES team was assigned to Group A with EDG and WE.

The first game was on the 9th, and the first round was a showdown with old rival Qijiang.

As soon as the grouping results came out, the LPL e-sports forum was in an uproar.

[No, are you serious about the allocation of such a huge difference in strength between the two groups? ]

[Except for RNG, Group B is full of experience players fighting each other, while Group A is full of gods fighting each other.]

[Le, the official is taking the lead in making trouble, right? They put EDG, WE, and TES into the same group...]

[Those who say Group B is just a fight between noobs, I hope that when we meet in the competition between different groups, I won’t give you a slap in the face.]

[What is Group B? Isn't it that the entire region is full of noobs fighting each other and bloating, and they will only steadily give their all to SKT in the World Championship? ]

[In a word, WE never gave up when they had Master Guang. After Master Guang retired, we found that everyone was the same. 】

[Hehehe, you guys can discuss your own things. Anyway, I am looking forward to the game on the 3th. The light master will fight against the pig farm! WE vs. IG, isn't this a continuation of the ancient feud in S? ]

……

The new season is just around the corner, and all the major teams have entered a phase of crazy training matches.

Among them, TES, which was promoted to LPL and competed in the league with an almost brand new lineup, was naturally the focus of many teams.

They really want to see whether Lin Shuyang is really capable of training this new army into a terrifying force in a short period of time like he did in the secondary league, or whether he can become the points-earning baby that everyone is vying to admire this season.

Something worth mentioning is during the training match.

The TES team led by Lin Shuyang did not perform very poorly, nor did they have supermodel data. In short, everything looked so "normal"!
Yes, normal.

The upper and lower limits are both at the level of a mid-level LPL team. They won't be at the bottom, but they just have the possibility of getting a ticket to the playoffs.

In this way, all the LPL club leaders are both envious and relieved.

I envy the TES team for having such a person in charge of improving the level of new players in a short period of time. It turns out that WE's annual No. 1 in sales of new players in the LPL is all thanks to this sales champion.

At the same time, we can feel at ease because Lin Shuyang is still a normal person. It is already the limit to train some inexperienced newcomers to the qualified level of LPL. To go further depends on whether the players' personal talents match.

Except for a few clubs that chose to continue observing TES, most of the other clubs that came to this conclusion decisively turned to studying the top three teams, WE, RNG and EDG, which are strong contenders for tickets to the World Championship.

I don't know what the reason is, it seems that everyone has forgotten one thing.

What team would expose its true level and core tactical system so early in a training match?
Also, since they are newcomers, TES has reached such a level before the league has even started. Is it possible that the team will just stay where they are for the next two months?

Riot designers also took action in sync with this.

If they don't do anything, these designers will definitely not deserve the salary and are worried about being fired. Some heroes are adjusted from left hand to right hand and from right hand to left hand, and their values ​​jump back and forth.

In the version update, a piece of news that made many LPL teams, especially EDG, bear the brunt.

Big tree, revamped!

Yes, the man who was once the top lane phantom god, who allowed EDG to dominate the LPL with the three-pronged attack of Twisted Treant, Maokai, and Treant, had his original ultimate replaced by Riot in the mid-season version. The Whirlpool of Vengeance that could help himself and his teammates gain high damage reduction was replaced by Nature's Grasp for ultra-long-range team fights.

"Riot's thinking is really outrageous. They cut off the most important tankiness skill of the top lane hero. Why not rework his other skills, give him more damage to wild monsters, and just put him in the jungle."

In the TES training match, Li Sining, who was in charge of data analysis, couldn't help but complain that the replacement of the ultimate skill caused an exaggerated decrease in tankiness, which almost completely sent it out of the top unit.

In a corner where no one noticed, Lin Shuyang quietly gave his wife a thumbs up. She was forced to work part-time because she failed to recruit an analyst. Due to the major changes in the summer season, she had a mountain of hero data and version research materials that needed to be sorted out.

Even with this, she could still guess Dashu's future career direction at a glance. Lin Shuyang had to admire his wife's talent in data and writing.

In addition to Maokai, some popular heroes in the mid-season tournament also took a hit.

First, a series of heroes that have been rampant in the top lane for a long time, such as Lady Gray, Kled, Galio, etc., were weakened. Secondly, the Jarvan IV who sneaked to the top lane from the jungle was also caught by the designers, and the damage of his ultimate skill was cut. Then, at the end of S6, the damage of the ultimate skill of the poor blind boy was cut by 6 points at the maximum level. The Riot designers found their conscience and adjusted some of the data. Although the strength is still not as good as that in S, there is still a little hope for him to return to the game in the summer season.

Wherever there are weakenings, there are strengthenings. For example, Miss Fortune and Cho'Z have their skills adjusted, or they are able to gain benefits from their equipment. Their appearance rates are skyrocketing in both ranked and professional competitions.

There are also some fine-tuning to the refresh time of other wild monsters, the attributes of minions, etc., and the rhythm is completely different from the spring season.

There are so many data that sometimes Lin Shuyang can't help but wonder whether the reason why the LPL league is deliberately ten days slower than the LCK is to leave time for the LPL teams to copy homework.

……

Time flies by.

The sun rose on time on June 9th!
TES base.

The players woke up at 9: am and did morning exercises in front of the base as usual. After the exercises, they ate breakfast leisurely before getting on the base car to head to the LPL regular season venue. The regular season venue was unchanged from the spring season, and was still located on the th floor of Zhengda Plaza in Pudong New Area.

"Player cards, check your player cards, don't forget about them."

"What...your peripherals are still upstairs?"

"Go get it quickly. We haven't reported it to the authorities yet, so you need to bring your own peripherals."

"It's not too hot today, so you can take a coat or not."

"..."

On the base vehicle, 694 kept reminding the players over and over again without getting tired of it.

Before setting off, the contestants who were very successful in the game had nervousness written all over their faces, and they also lost things at the same time.

It was the first time they played a game, and the opponent was EDG, so it was normal to have such a reaction.

Lin Shuyang sat quietly in his position as the head coach. Perhaps it was because when one reaches a certain age, one will have endless nostalgia for the past. He looked at the young comrades in front of him who were pretending to be calm with a somewhat nostalgic look in his eyes.

Well, I remember that when I played the first game in S3, I seemed to be very nervous too.

"lets go!"

As Aable took his keyboard back to the car from the base, panting, Lin Shuyang said to the experienced driver of the base car in the driving seat.

There were eight people in the car, excluding the driver, including five contestants, two coaches, him and 694, and the club's newly hired psychological counselor. As for Xiao Cheng, who was originally the team leader, he had already arrived at the competition venue in advance to make task arrangements.

Yes, he brought a psychologist with him to the team’s first game!

When the base vehicle reached a flat road, the gentle psychological counselor began his pre-match counseling work.

With just a few simple words and two relaxing games, the other four people, except Jin Gong, who were originally very nervous, immediately felt much better.

Originally, this task should have been completed by him or 694.

But perhaps as he took over the management of the club, Lin Shuyang's temperament of a superior leader became stronger, and his speech and behavior were more like that of a big leader, rather than the reliable big brother who could get along well with the players during his time with WE.

This is a reality that cannot be changed.

Therefore, if Lin Shuyang, who is in this state, were to provide psychological counseling to the players, it might be counterproductive and would further increase the players' psychological pressure for the first battle.

As for 694... poor kid, he just regrets that he didn't read enough books!
The heavy training schedule on weekdays is enough for him to digest, and he really can't spare the time to study inspirational quotes or League of Legends metaphors.

……

Shanghai Zhengda Plaza!

The 9th happened to be Friday, the end of the work week, and the game schedule included EDG, WE and TES, several highly-watched clubs. The entrance of the venue was already crowded with people.

Thanks to the accumulation of the previous two years, the LPL official, which has become increasingly wealthy, has completely upgraded the competition venue in the summer season.

For example, there are special photo taking areas, a new voting wall, summoner service stations, etc. In addition, the surrounding stores also have new uniforms of each LPL team on display.

At the competition venue, the organizers also carried out a series of optimizations and improvements to the on-site environment in order to provide the audience with a better viewing experience.

As the boss assistant of TES e-sports club, Cheng Qian is at the competition entrance of Zhengda Plaza at this moment.

"There are only two requirements for distributing free support items. The first is to follow our official Weibo account of TES e-sports or Mr. Lin's personal account on Weibo. The second is to follow comments in e-sports forums or actively write topics related to the TES team."

Cheng Qian once again emphasized this to the three female college students in front of her who were hired at a salary of 100 yuan per hour.

"When distributing free gifts, please inform the players that there is a corresponding lottery code in the gifts. After the game, if the TES team wins, we will release the corresponding winning code on the official blog. At that time, you can find staff to redeem the team's peripheral gifts with the lottery code."

"Understood!"

"Ok!"

"Um... I'm also a fan of Brother Yang. Can I keep a copy for myself after it's posted?"

"I have created a TES support group!"

The two responses were followed by a timid inquiry.

The girl with glasses opened her mobile phone and turned to the QQ group page as proof.

From a distance, it looked like there were nearly a thousand people!
Cheng Qian smiled, "Of course!"

"And our TES club is in its early stages, and we still lack a lot of talent in team operations. If you like e-sports, you can consider applying for related positions later."

“There are part-time and full-time options!”

After receiving such a reply from Cheng Qian, not only the girl with glasses who asked the question actively, but also the other two people became much more excited.

Soon, the three of them pulled out the TES team poster and red banner on the side where the audience checked in for tickets.

"Follow the official TES team account or the players' personal accounts on Weibo to receive team support items for free!"

"Free?"

Many of the spectators waiting for ticket checking in the square came for TES. Coupled with the unique team promotional photo on the poster, the three part-time college students’ area was soon filled with fans who came to consult.

"What? It's fine if you can just get the support items for free, but you can also draw a prize if you win the game?"

When people learned that the free support items given away by TES also included coupons for winning a lottery for today's game, more and more people were attracted.

Thanks to the generous hourly wage offered by TES's part-time job recruitment, the three college students always explained the players' questions with a smile.

The three people have clear division of labor. One is responsible for checking the TES team follow-up certificates provided by players, one is responsible for distributing small bags containing player support cards and stickers, and the last one is responsible for explaining to the players the details of the lottery after the game.

Of course, there are also those who simply disdain it.

EDG fans: "Humph, since the team doesn't have many fans, of course they have to give them away for free! Raffle tickets... We can't win against EDG in the first game, so of course we don't feel bad about giving them away."

"As expected of a water army team, they're already marketing before the game even starts!"
