We are tired of winning championships, and we still need youth training?

Chapter 181 Xu Xinghe: Will you buy the Kindred skin?
The past and the future are intertwined, and the current TES does not affect JackeyLove's club background.

Since his contract termination with IG was a peaceful transition, there was naturally no conflict between him and the club.

Originally, Ah Shui would have been pressured by Su Xiaoluo to renew his contract, but this time it was his own decision to leave.

IG readily let him go.

This has resulted in Ah Shui's relationship with IG not being bad.

The scenes for promotional videos are usually filmed only after the contestants have given their consent.

"It's great to be here at Top Esports."

In the voice-over, Ah Shui's somewhat shy and sentimental voice rang out.

"To be honest, IG is quite special to me, since I started my career with IG."

"I am also very grateful to IG for giving me this opportunity."

"For me, winning two championships with IG is something to be very grateful for."

"But I also want to go out and explore on my own, to prove my abilities. After all, there's an old saying: when children grow up, they have to go out and make their way in the world."

"Top Esports is my current club, and it's also a club I really like. I was quite surprised when I received their invitation."

“I talked to Xinghe back then, and I said that a club wanted me to go, would you go?”

Ah Shui's voice carried a sense of nostalgia.

"I didn't know why Xinghe said he wanted to be the owner of IG at the time, but now I know he wanted to be the owner of IG."

"I can only say he's been tricked. I'm going to give him a piece of my mind today."

After hearing what Ah Shui said, the audience couldn't hold back anymore.

[Haha, I didn't know such a thing happened??]

[Laxatives, we can already see the images.]

[Ah Shui: Goodness, no wonder you didn't leave BYD, you're going to be the boss!]

It's been several months already, and the news of the changes in IG's management is no secret; it has already been leaked.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time.

It's worth noting that Wang Gongzi actually played in S9, but after that, Riot Games introduced a rule that prohibits management personnel and above from playing in professional clubs.

However, due to Xu Xinghe's butterfly effect, Wang Gongzi did not participate this time, so this rule was not issued.

After all, even Riot Games didn't expect this to happen.

—Who the hell can buy a club after playing professionally for just one year?!

But that's what information asymmetry is.

With the memories from the simulation, Xu Xinghe only needs a starting capital.

He was able to ride the wave of the times and easily achieve exponential wealth growth.

After the incident escalated significantly, Riot Games was also struggling with how to handle it.

After all, if the boss himself can play, what if those with ulterior motives in the first-tier league follow suit?
Xu Xinghe may have bought the club for normal operation, but most of those people were probably after gambling.

But simply suspending Xu Xinghe from the competition wouldn't be fair.

After all, there's no precedent for this before. What's wrong with someone buying a club?
Therefore, after discussion, Riot Games ultimately chose a compromise.

While not completely banning professional players, they are required to be at least Challenger rank on their local server, have played more than 100 practice matches, have a minimum K/D ratio of 1.5, and even if they do play, their performance will be monitored. If they fail to meet certain standards, Riot Games will disqualify them from the competition.

It has to be said that this was a very clever move.

A high-ranking account might not mean much to the boss, but requiring 100 scrims with a K/D ratio of 1.5 or higher is a really high requirement.

Haven't you noticed that players like TheShy and JackeyLove often have negative win records?

Furthermore, their performance on the field will be subject to oversight.

It can be said that this has completely blocked the path for bosses without professional skills to take the lead.

If you meet all the requirements, and there are regulators around, you don't need to worry about messing around and disrupting the professional competition.

So what if I let you play professionally?

"I don't have much to say. I just hope we can beat them today."

"I think our bot lane is the strongest in S10."

The prophet's remarks were quite conventional, basically just making harsh statements.

After the bottom lane duo made their appearance, the next step was naturally for both sides to field their junglers.

This time, both junglers appeared on camera at the same time.

One is on the left, and one is on the right.

On the left, Karsa, wearing a TES jersey, walks forward step by step with a serious expression and bright eyes.

His voice rang out as he moved.

"Galaxy, hailed as the strongest rookie prodigy jungler, won the FMVP honor right after his debut."

"He is really strong."

Karsa did not belittle Xu Xinghe, because that would be meaningless.

Their record speaks for itself; it's a genuine FMVP-level performance, and there's no way to criticize it.

"But who isn't a genius jungler?"

He abruptly changed the subject, revealing his own sharp edge.

"Galaxy is very strong, but that's precisely why beating him is even more impressive."

"If someone has already done it, then I think I can too."

Jiangshan has talented people on behalf of the people, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.

The meaning of karsa is quite clear.

You are indeed very good now, but you have also lost before, and you are not invincible.

Since you've lost the first time, you're likely to lose the second time.

A child prodigy?
Every professional player, isn't a prodigy when they debut?

Back in the day, Karsa was also a handsome young man from all around Taiwan.

Everyone has their moments of glory!
Although Karsa now has the nickname "Pizza," don't forget that he used to be called "Wolf King."

The Wolf King who led the Flash Wolves to a brutal defeat against the Korean team!

It has to be said that Karsa's emotional intelligence is truly exceptional.

Although it was also making harsh statements, it wasn't particularly sharp.

This demonstrated her determination without angering Xu Xinghe's fans.

Similarly, Xu Xinghe's subsequent remarks also demonstrated a high level of emotional intelligence.

As the camera pans, the figure of the boy in the distance gradually becomes clear.

He was wearing IG's signature silver-white jacket, and his steps were steady and powerful, displaying strong self-confidence.

Beneath her short, jet-black hair were a pair of sharp yet calm eyes, and beneath her high, straight nose were slightly thin lips that revealed a hint of cherry blossom color.

Xu Xinghe's handsome face was expressionless, but it was precisely because of this that one could feel the confidence and arrogance emanating from him.

"Wow……"

"Did you really not use a beauty filter, bro? Xinghe is holy crap, he's handsome beyond words!"

"It feels like his resolution isn't even the same as the guys in front of him. They're all 720p, but his is at least 4K!"

The moment Xu Xinghe's face appeared, it caused a commotion at the scene.

Female fans screamed, and male fans sighed.

Being handsome certainly doesn't give you the freedom to do whatever you want, but it does offer a significant advantage.

Xu Xinghe's current massive fan base is inextricably linked to his appearance.

Of course, he wasn't being hypocritical after getting the benefit.

On the contrary, Xu Xinghe was very calm.

What, is being handsome a crime?
If we're going to arrest anyone, we should arrest those handsome and beautiful readers first!

“I’ve always been looking forward to playing against Karsa more often because I think his playing style is very strong.”

"His ability to perform exceptionally well in both regions is undeniable."

"But I have no reason to lose."

“I debuted with IG. I witnessed IG reach its peak and then fall into a trough, and I also witnessed IG's resurgence.”

"No one can ignore IG now, and we will rise again."

"I will make IG's glory shine again, and I will make IG a name they fear once more."

His voice wasn't particularly excited; in fact, it was quite calm.

But it is precisely this calmness that makes his words so persuasive.

Sometimes, being overly enthusiastic can give the impression of being bluffing.

Amidst the intense attention, Xu Xinghe walked up to Karsa. Then, as the camera zoomed out further, all their teammates, who had previously been alone, appeared in the frame.

As Xu Xinghe and Karsa locked eyes, he uttered his final words.

"Sorry, Karsa, go aim for third or fourth place."

"This is the only thing you can do now."

The IG fans at the scene were also deeply moved by such a powerful statement.

Ji Bochang couldn't help but shout.

"IG is awesome!"

This familiar slogan evoked memories of the autumn of 18 for many longtime IG fans at the scene.

The Egyptian embassy was completely bewildered.
Why are so many people saying Egypt is awesome?
"IG is awesome!"

"IG is awesome!"

As the sounds rose and fell, their power grew stronger and stronger, gradually coalescing into an ocean.

Backstage.

Guo Hao couldn't help but smack his lips, his face full of envy:
"IG still has a lot of casual fans."

There is really no way around this.

After all, they are the first club in China to hold the S-series championship.

It's hard not to become famous.

After eight years of playing, this is the only one I've ever had, so of course I have to treat it like a treasure.

Even if you're not an IG fan, you won't mind if someone shouts "IG is awesome!" a couple of times.

"Don't even mention fans, I really have a headache right now."

Karsa's lips twitched, and he leaned against the wall, revealing a mask of pain.

"What's up with him?"

“A few days ago, when Brother La went out, someone said he was a fan. After taking a photo with him, he posted it on Tieba with the title: ‘Brothers ran into pizza on the street.’”

When Ah Shui heard Guo Hao's question, he laughed and explained.

"Damn it, I've put up with you for too long, you big-headed Bobby!"

Karsa's face darkened, and he clenched his fist and started drilling into Ah Shui's head repeatedly.

"No, Brother La, I was just thinking about something happy."

"Heh, do you think I'm some kind of nice guy?"

The two of them started arguing.

It's amazing, Karsa is from Taiwan, but her accent isn't very noticeable, and she has a great personality.

Therefore, he is currently considered to have the best relationship with JackeyLove in Top Esports.

Fortunately, the female host's voice could be heard at this moment.

"Welcome everyone to the 2020 League of Legends Spring Split Playoffs Semifinals, IG vs TES!"

"Before the final match that will decide the Spring Split champion, will the newly emerging powerhouse TES advance, or will IG, who have won the highest honor before, go all the way? Let's wait and see."

Today's host is Luo Xin.

Wearing a white dress, she exudes youthful energy.

The barrage of comments praising it as cute is understandable.

It's still early days.

Even if people feel a bit repressed, they wouldn't post it online like an exhibitionist; they still have some sense of decency.

As the players from both sides took to the field, Xu Xinghe finally sat down in his seat.

He let out a breath, feeling much better.

The promotional video wasn't long, but the makeup took a lot of time.

Xu Xinghe has always disliked this thing, but there's nothing he can do about it.

The influence of Mala Xiangguo (a type of spicy stir-fry) is too bad; people go on stage every day with greasy hair.

I heard he's in a lawsuit with RNG recently?

Given this, Xu Xinghe felt he had no reason to sympathize with him for losing the case.

Both head coaches had notebooks in hand and were using the last moments to explain their tactics.

Not long after the peripherals were installed, the players put on their competition uniforms.

But it's also quite a mess.

It seems that JDG's mid laner, Yagao, accidentally clicked the wrong button while preparing for a practice match and ended up in the IG vs. TES match room.

IG.Galaxy: ?
IG.Missing: ?
IG.Frandre: Want to transfer?
TES.Jackeylove: 6
TES.369: niu bi
TES.Knight: ? ? ?
At that time, there was a bunch of question marks in the bottom left corner.

Both the IG and TES players were overjoyed.

This has never happened before.

Although the competition server is the same, you can see who is currently on the same team by hovering your mouse over a friend's ID in the friends list.

It's safe to say that if you pay even a little attention, you can't possibly miss it.

But the toothpaste just dried up.

Xu Xinghe was starting to lose his composure. "This toothpaste is amazing! It's only afternoon, and I'm already sleepy so quickly?"

Saint Gun Bro was also struggling to contain himself: "That bastard Zeng Qi..."

The director kept cutting to different shots, and almost all the contestants were laughing hysterically.

This naturally aroused the curiosity of the audience.

[Holy crap, why is everyone laughing?]

[They probably started chatting?]

[Can the dog-like director zoom in a bit? I need to see the chat history!]

The director seemed to have guessed what the audience wanted, so he had the cameraman get much closer and clearly capture the bottom left corner of the screen.

There was a line of brightly colored text:

JDG.Yagao left the room.

Now, even the audience knows what happened.

[Gao Gao is awesome!]

[Haha, can we even get into this room, Brother Gao?]

[Even Xinghe was dumbfounded, who are you?]

This really made everyone laugh.

This kind of abstract entertainment effect is something that very few professional players can pull off these days.

The funny thing about this toothpaste guy is that he doesn't do it on purpose; most of the time it's just an accident.

Regarding talent...

Others rack their brains, but none can match the ingenuity of toothpaste.

BP finally began at this point.

In the first match, IG was on the red side, while TES was on the blue side.

After IG banned Skarner, Syndra, and Ornn, and TES banned Nidalee, Elise, and Renekton.

TES, playing on the blue side, immediately picked LeBlanc.

At this moment, Knight, the Golden Left Hand, was quite confident. Even though LeBlanc was Rookie's championship-winning champion, he still dared to pick her.

Because he is strong enough.

On the other hand, IG's choice was equally confident.

Almost the instant their turn came, they instantly locked onto their heroes.

"Instant lock?!"

"They're all very confident!"

"IG's pick is... Kindred and Galio!"

"So, does this mean they've already decided to hand the ball to Galaxy this time?"

The commentator seemed somewhat surprised.

Both TES and IG displayed considerable confidence.

"Wait, could it be that Galaxy player is helping to sell skins? His Kindred skin is selling like hotcakes right now."

Suddenly another commentator noticed the blind spot and spoke up with a strange expression.
