LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 1 EDG cannot accept such an unethical player

At the end of 2016, the Demacia Cup final officially came to an end at the Wuhan Sports Center.

EDG first defeated RNG and then IM, and won the German Cup for the fifth consecutive time with great momentum, which brought a not-so-perfect end to the S6 season.

The stadium was filled with noise and thunderous applause, but in contrast, the atmosphere in the official live broadcast room was completely different, almost filled with curses.

[They are fierce as a tiger in domestic games, but cowardly as a dog in foreign games. They were beaten badly in the World Championship, but they came back to beat their own team. EDG, the phantom god in domestic games, will only be able to dominate at home. It is simply a disgrace to the LPL.]

[4396 Waste Ming Kai, every character has eight strokes, every year he makes the quarterfinals, why don't you just go back to raising pigs, are you planning to continue to make the quarterfinals next year?]

EDG doesn't study MSI and Worlds, they only study their own region's teams. With teams like that around, LPL will never make it big!

Due to the huge gap between the poor performance in the World Championship and the undefeated championship in the Summer Season, EDG almost became a public enemy in the LPL that year and completely lost its credibility.

In an environment of endless online abuse, the EDG club is inevitably experiencing a trend of renewal and replacement, and the decline of Korean aid.

After the German Cup and award ceremony ended, Deft, who won the annual MVP, fled back to South Korea overnight carrying Pawn, who had a back injury.

EDG lost its two big men at once, and Zaozige also lost its most strict priest.

Before the start of the new season, EDG urgently needs to complete a lineup reorganization to maintain its dominance in the league.

In the EDG conference room as the sun was setting, Abu was sitting with the owner Ed Zhu and shareholder Ming Kai to discuss the recruitment plan.

"The contract in Korea has been finalized. Coach Nofe will come to coach in the new season. He also brought a mid-lane player named Zet with him, saying that this player can fill the vacancy left by Deft." Abu, who has a unique neutral voice, took the information and briefly explained the current recruitment situation.

Nofe is the former coach of the Tigers team ROX, and he single-handedly led the team to defeat EDG in this year's World Championship.

Adhering to the strategic measure of buying over if you can't beat them, EDG spent a lot of money to move in both players and chairs during the offseason while ROX was disbanded.

The bonus Zet is ROX's substitute mid laner. He has been sitting on the bench for years and has only played a few games. Abu is not very optimistic about his rash switch to AD.

"Mingkai, what do you think? Is it okay?" Seeing that no one spoke, Abu took the initiative to ask for his opinion.

Mingkai touched his nose, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "I don't have any ideas. Anyway, I need to rest and find my form in the spring season. I won't care for now."

With the expectations of all LPL fans, Mingkai's performance in the World Championship was terrible. Although his dream was still there, he decided to take a half-season break and plan to return after regaining his form.

As the boss, Aide Zhu had long understood Mingkai's intentions and said, "Then let Ai Loli start in the spring season. It's a good opportunity to train the newcomer."

"It's okay with Scout in the mid lane, but as for AD, iboy is not yet seventeen years old. It won't be enough to rely on Zet who changed positions." Abu still had concerns.

His meaning was very clear. He had to buy a substitute for the AD position as a precaution in case Zet couldn't adapt.

"Of course you can buy it if there is a good AD." Mingkai waved his hand. To be honest, no one dared to have too high expectations for a mid laner to switch to AD.

Ed Zhu nodded: "Look around. The transfer period hasn't ended yet, so you can always find a good AD."

Abu rubbed his brows, remained silent, and looked extremely depressed.

This is easy to say, but ever since Deft announced he would not renew his contract after winning the summer season, he has been committed to finding a new AD. During the World Championship, he even took the trouble to travel all over China and South Korea, but he didn't find anything good.

"AD is not a rotten cabbage, it's not that easy to find." Abu sat on the chair and sighed.

"Let's see first. If it doesn't work, we can change it in the summer season." Mingkai suggested.

Abu showed an expression of agreement. This was the only way at this point. The spring season would be used as a temporary transition. After Mingkai returned in the summer season and iboy reached the playing age, they would consider competing for the championship once the team was complete.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was slowly pushed open, and the quiet EDG support Tian Ye walked in.

"Tian Ye, close the door." Mingkai muttered.

Tian Ye closed the door casually, adjusted his glasses and said, "Looking for an AD, right? I have someone."

Hearing this, Abu, who looked as if his sister had died, suddenly brightened up and asked quickly, "Tell me who it is?"

Tian Ye turned on the computer in the conference room, logged into TGP, and clicked on the homepage of an offline friend.

Abu took a closer look and saw that the solo win rate was as high as 70%, which was a very impressive record, and a smile gradually bloomed on his face.

"Yes, are you over 17? Are you a libero or on a second-tier team?" Abu asked in quick succession. Suddenly, his face darkened and he pointed blankly at the screen, "Why are all the latest results from two weeks ago?"

He casually clicked on the match details. His last ranked match was at the end of November, with a 11/15 Ezreal. It was already mid-December.

It is unheard of for a professional player to not play ranked games for half a month.

You should know that even during the off-season, professional players will insist on playing two or three games a day to maintain their touch.

Seeing this, Tian Ye scratched his head awkwardly and tried to explain, "Well, my friend's mechanics are pretty good, but... he doesn't seem to play much. Maybe he wants to relax more during the off-season."

Hearing this, Abu seemed to be choked and speechless.

If you want to relax again, it would be too incredible to be able to hold on without fighting.

"EDG can't have players who don't even play daily Rank matches and neglect their main job like this." Before Abu could say anything, Mingkai stood up to object. What he emphasized most was discipline.

If you don't play for half a month and have no basic love for the League, what's the point of playing this profession? You should go home and raise pigs as soon as possible.

"That's right, I support Mingkai. His basic attitude is that he doesn't care what profession he plays." Ed Zhu echoed.

Tian Ye was stunned for a moment, but still answered honestly: "It's not that he doesn't play. In fact, he plays games other than the League quite often."

Mingkai and Ed Zhu were both stunned.

Then you are still called a professional LOL player?

Unlike the other two who objected outright, the astute Abu, after some consideration, said thoughtfully, "You can try it out first. Ability and talent are what matter most."

After all, when it comes to gaming, talent always trumps everything.

It's no use working hard if you don't have talent.

On the contrary, for players who are talented but don't work hard, Abu believes he has ten thousand ways to train them.

Tian Ye hummed and said, "In that case, I'll contact him when I have time and ask him to come for a tryout. It just so happens that he's also looking for a team right now."

"By the way, what's his name?" Abramovich only remembered to ask this question now. As a youth training manager, he might know him.

Tian Ye seemed to have something to hide and was unable to speak for a moment. He chose to touch the keyboard, open Huya Live, and click on a live broadcast room that was not very popular.

"Seventeen-year-old anchor Lin Ruo scores online." Abu muttered the title of the live broadcast room, then frowned, lava monster.

He turned his head and stared at the field, examining it with surprise as he said, "This Lin Ruo...could he be the youth trainee who slacked off in training, played other games during the tournament, and got released by RNG?"

At the end of this year's spring season, RNG terminated the contract of a youth training player, reportedly because of his unprofessional attitude. He went on the team as a substitute, and while the main players were playing on the court, he was secretly playing chess off the court.

RNG happened to lose that game, and the club manager fired the person in anger.

Tian Ye thought for a moment, biting his fingers, his eyes wandering as he said, "It seems... that's the case, but he really is quite talented."

With a criminal record... Abu, who had made up his mind, suddenly hesitated.

As Mingkai said, such people can indeed easily affect the stability of the club.

At this moment, Ming Kai slammed the table and scolded, "Won't recruiting such a person ruin the club's morale? Listen to me, you must not hire him."

Just as Aide Zhu was about to support, he heard the loud voice of the anchor coming from the live broadcast room on the computer.

"Mingkai? Are you talking about that KDA-protecting player, Zzitai, who was taught a lesson by both forehand and backhand in the quarterfinals, where Lee Sin couldn't beat Olaf, and Olaf couldn't beat Lee Sin?"

The atmosphere in EDG's training room suddenly became dead silent.

Mingkai instantly switched forms and his face darkened.

Tian Ye turned his head away timidly.

After an unknown amount of time, Mingkai loosened his clenched fists and sighed secretly.

Although I was very unhappy, I couldn't seem to find any reason to refute it.
