Chapter 175 A Search for a Good Advisor Yields No Results; The Order to Wash Hair Leaves the Old Thief Stunned

WE.A dormitory.

Zhou Li was lying on the bed deep in thought.

His call to arms has been issued, but now there's a problem that's really bothering him.

He still chose Tabe as his coach.

After all, Tabe is truly useful. He's someone who has stood the test of time and been personally certified by others, and he can relieve a lot of pressure on the team in terms of training and version research.

Most importantly, Tabe has just lost his job, so he's cheap and obedient.

Xiao Zhu is also an indispensable choice. People need food to survive, and for athletes, a good diet is essential to ensure they are in good condition. As the team's support staff, Xiao Zhu has always been conscientious and hard-working, and there is nothing to criticize about him.

Most importantly, Xiao Zhu is still a fan of IG, cheap and obedient.

For the top lane position, Zhou Li thought of Flandre, who was still with Snake Esports at the time. After all, he was a top laner who could win championships in the future, and at this time, Flandre was still a blank slate, not the seasoned top laner that everyone stereotyped. You know, when this kid first debuted, his nickname was "Acrobatic Top Lane," and he was a real carry top laner. In addition, Flandre had a humble personality, and what he would become in the future depended entirely on Zhou Li's training. He had a lot of potential.

Most importantly, Snakes is currently just a team that has just entered the top division, and they are cheap and obedient.

When it comes to selecting members for his team, Zhou Li doesn't have particularly high requirements for other aspects, but being cheap and obedient are two hard requirements.

WE.A's team for the Summer Split is now basically complete, but they are still missing the most important piece.

Auxiliary position.

Before Season 4, the support role was practically ignored.

However, starting from Season 4, the role of support players in the team has become increasingly important.

If they want to make a run for the World Championship title, they will have to face the Samsung White team.

As the former S4 World Champions, after Samsung White won the championship, their support player Mata was awarded the MVP of the finals!

How valuable is this MVP award?
Mata is the first and only support player to win the FMVP award in the history of the League of Legends World Championship, a record that has remained unbroken since it was established in 2014.

The reason why most people believe that Samsung White is the strongest team among all the S-series champions is largely due to Mata.

This doesn't mean Mata's micro-management is invincible, but rather that with him as the team leader, the entire Samsung White team's operations under his command exerted immense pressure on the enemy, giving them a feeling of helplessness.

Mata's control capabilities were ahead of their time. His ward placement and jungle-support synergy were the core of Samsung White's tactics, directly suppressing the opponent's space to maneuver.

Mata, known as the "most powerful brain," is responsible for the overall tactical coordination of Samsung White. He can accurately calculate the timing of the opponent's skills and predict the opponent's tactics to counter them.

Besides that, it was his amazing plays using various support heroes during his peak period that truly showcased his talent.

This is not to say that Mata's skills are bad. With a KDA of 10 in the finals, any support player would be worthy of praise. It's just that these skills don't rank high compared to Mata's other abilities.

Of course, although Mata is very strong, there is one person in this world who hates Mata to death.

That's Imp, the ADC player for Samsung White, a poor little mouse who's always been left to fend for himself.

Therefore, if Samsung White is taken as the hypothetical enemy, then WE.A must improve its support position.

However, Zhou Li thought long and hard but couldn't think of any good candidates for the assistant position.

The LPL currently doesn't really value the support position, and there aren't many good existing support players to choose from.

This forced Zhou Li to turn his attention to those players who had not yet made a name for themselves.

But when those IDs popped into his head, he quickly rejected them.

Meiko was the first contestant eliminated by Zhou Li.

At this time, Meiko should have just debuted with the RAY team.

However, Zhou Li, a Grand Slam champion, would never dare to attempt such a feint.

Even without Zhou Li, this chosen one would still have all sorts of powerful figures sent down by heaven to cling to.

Considering the non-stick properties of the White Lotus pan, Zhou Li thought about it and decided to save his money.

Zhou Li then thought of Liu Qingsong.

However, it was also quickly excluded by the Zhou rites.

Not to mention that Liu Qingsong hadn't even debuted yet at this time, and no one knew where he was.

Speaking of Liu Qingsong's temper, he's foul-mouthed and likes to be sarcastic. He's the kind of player who'd team up with Xiaotian. If he goes to the bottom lane with Sima Laozei, then there are only two possible outcomes for these two.

It's either marriage or a life-or-death struggle.

The biggest problem with both Mei Kou and Liu Qingsong is that their personalities clash, and they also need Zhou Li to mentor them.

Therefore, Zhou Li had no choice but to turn his attention to other areas.

"Ugh, this is so difficult. When in doubt, I guess I'll just learn a Latin dance first..."

Zhou Li sighed, but then suddenly realized something!
Latin……

Koujiji!
corejj!

Through reasonable association, he suddenly thought of this ID.

At this time, Koujiji's BM team should have just disbanded, and he was a free agent.

This guy is no ordinary player; he would be in the top five of all-time League of Legends support players.

Although Koujiji should still be playing ADC at this point, it doesn't seem like it's a bad idea to switch him to the support role sooner.

Moreover, Koujiji is already a mature player, so he doesn't need to train him too much; in fact, he can help relieve some of his burdens. According to Zhou Li, Koujiji is incredibly competitive and has a very serious attitude towards training.

It's just that Kojiji is great in every way, except for one thing.

That guy is a Korean.

Not only was he a Korean, but he was also an extremely loyal private.

When Kojiji went to the North American league, under his leadership, the team's performance improved rapidly, and they were invincible, making it all the way to the World Championship.

But no matter how arrogant he is in the league, when he encounters a Korean team in the World Championship, he becomes incredibly subservient.

Sometimes they even openly act without actually acting.

Can you imagine that in the World Championship, Kojiji plays Titan and doesn't even know how to use QRE, and when he's being chased, he doesn't hook even though there are walls on both sides, choosing instead to hook his own minions in lane? Is this the same person who is hailed as the best support in North America?
"Forget it, I'll play a few more ranked games these next couple of days. Maybe I'll run into some outstanding talents that history has missed. If all else fails, I'll just buy PYL from LGD."
-
6 month 1 day.

Children's Day.

There are thirteen days left until the start of the LPL Summer Split.

The warriors of Zhouli gathered in the WE.A training room.

Sima, the old scoundrel, stared dumbfounded at Zhou Li standing before everyone, rubbed his eyes, and muttered to Xi Ye:
"Holy crap, am I still half asleep? How did he become the boss?"

Xi Ye scratched his round head, equally puzzled.

"I don't know either. He just woke up after a nap and became the boss."

"Is this some kind of Children's Day joke?"

No sooner had Sima the old scoundrel finished speaking than Zhou Li's piercing gaze swept over him.

"Let me reiterate: now that everyone has become a member of WE.A, you must abide by the club's rules. I will now read out the club's rules. The first rule is that, in order to maintain the club's image and air quality, all players must wash their hair every day!!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, except for Sima Laozei, whose face was ugly.

"Zhou Li, aren't you targeting me?"

Upon hearing Sima Laozei's words, Xiao Shou was about to speak when the newcomer Zhu Kai spoke up a second before he could.

"Just wash your hair, everyone does it. How is that targeting you? Washing your hair can promote blood circulation in the scalp and activate brain cells. Mr. Zhou is doing this for your own good. What do you mean by targeting you? Do you think the club's water bill is nothing?"

The little beast stared wide-eyed at Zhu Kai, who was speaking eloquently, and wondered where this expert came from, who was so good at being a lackey.

Zhou Li was clearly satisfied with Zhu Kai's performance.

That's why he always chooses Zhu Kai, because Zhu Kai has never let him down.

"Well said, Zhu Kai. Let me introduce you all. From now on, Zhu Kai will be the team's deputy manager. Zhu Kai, you'll be assisting Xiao Shou and taking care of our team's logistics."

Zhu Kai nodded excitedly and said:

"Mr. Zhou, what exactly does this logistics work entail?"

Zhou Li spoke calmly:

"Order takeout."

After introducing Zhu Kai, Zhou Li continued:
"Tabe, I guess everyone knows him now. He will be our team's coach from now on. I hope everyone can follow Tabe's training schedule."

Tabe stepped forward somewhat shyly and greeted everyone.

"In order to maintain a healthy competitive environment among our team players, starting today, we will have two players for each position, rotating them out. Whoever is in better form will start! Let me introduce the team's new players!"

"Top laner Flandre!"

"The mid laner is okfun."

“ADC munlife”.

"The team is currently lacking a support player. If anyone knows any players, please recommend them to me, and the club will evaluate them."

Zhou Li didn't actually know the mid laner and ADC at all, and had no idea where WE had found these players. After all, WE.A was WE's youth training team, and they would put any promising talents they found into the team.

However, this is good news for Zhou Li. After all, Flandre is still young and needs to be trained. Sometimes the team still needs Snowman to play. This way, it won't dampen Snowman's enthusiasm too much, and the team can use him for a while longer.

He had barely finished speaking when he saw Tabe raise his hand.

This pleased Zhou Li greatly.

Indeed, he is very capable in judging people.

Just when I was worried that the team didn't have a support, Tabe was about to provide one.

“Tabe, you speak.”

"I have a question. Everyone else has substitutes, so why don't the junglers have any?"

A few muffled laughs came from the crowd.

Zhou Li's face darkened, and he began to explain:

"Oh, it's me, the jungler."

tabe replied without hesitation:

"That won't work either, it's not fair."
