Chapter 186 King Zhou Assembles Troops, Khan Makes His First Move, General Bu's Schemes Backfire Due to Serious Illness

"Wow, bro, I'm not saying this, but your teammate is really no good. You know he has no talent. Talking to him feels like I'm talking to a cow."

WE.A Training Room.

Lu Benwei tossed his hair, looking helpless.

Zhou Li didn't really want to look at the punk rocker in front of him.

He turned to the Khan and asked:
"what's wrong with you?"

The Khan, with the stubbornness of a young man on his face, spoke:

"Brother Zhou! Trust the reverse tonic, he's a complete idiot!"

Lu Benwei's eyes widened.

"Damn it, didn't you say you didn't speak Chinese?"

Faced with the shocked Lu Benwei, Khan also flicked his bangs.

"Of course I would. I listen to my wife's phone calls every night."

After saying that, the Khan exaggeratedly imitated him, pouting and saying in a strange tone:
"Oil Oil, I miss you so much! Kisses and pats~"

Lu Benwei was clearly quite provoked by Khan's actions and laughed awkwardly.

"Hehehehehehehehehe..."

The Khan immediately reverted to his ancestral state.

"Oh ah ah oh ah ah eh oh ah ah oh oh oh~"

"Aaaaaah!! Eheheheaaaah!"

"Ooh ooh ooh hahaha eh haha ​​oah ah!"

Zhou Li was clearly very satisfied with the Khan who had evolved a atavistic pattern.

You see, as the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, one who stays near ink gets stained black, and one who stays near Lu Benwei becomes a baboon."

Change a habit in five days.

Saving Private Khan is that simple.

Zhou Li patted the Khan on the shoulder, who was already rolling his eyes from yelling.

"You're very good. You'll start in tomorrow's match against EDG."

The Khan was stunned for a moment, and almost choked on his water.

He stared blankly at himself, pointing his finger out.

"A nest? Is a nest okay?"

Outside the training room, Flandre stood at the door, staring blankly at the scene unfolding inside.

He silently turned around, walked to a secluded corner, focused his energy, and opened his mouth.

"Gaga gaga gaga gaga..."
-
EDG base.

It was late at night, and Abu sat alone in the training room, scratching his head in frustration.

The tablet computer was playing a video of Zhou Li's competition on repeat.

He's been sitting here since the afternoon and has been watching ever since.

But I still can't figure it out.

After all, Abu is a professional at pretending to be a coach, but he's really not good at being a coach.

"This is so annoying! If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have had the club find another coach..."

Abu now deeply regrets his past actions.

When the boss, Ed Ju, suggested finding another coach to assist Abramovich, Abramovich was still thinking about his own status and refused without hesitation.

However, now that a formidable enemy is at hand, he begins to regret his actions.

It’s different in the past.

Back when he was with WE, he used WE's name to gather a bunch of clueless 60e fans and formed an analysis group.

All he needs to do each day is issue an instruction in the group chat, and someone will help him collect information, integrate data, and provide tactical solutions.

Then he would take these materials and read them aloud to the team members, and that would be the end of it.

But he has now joined EDG.

Those former 60e fans hated him to the core, so how could they possibly continue to support him and do free volunteer work for him?

He has to do everything himself.

However, because the players on the EDG team were already quite strong, coupled with his boastful remarks as a Challenger player with 5,000 points, he actually led EDG to win the Spring Split championship.

But in reality, Abramovich knew that he hadn't actually contributed much to this championship.

Rather than a coach, his role in the team is more like that of a caring older sister.

Of course, Abu is also smart. He would often bring over OGN match videos, organize the team members to watch them, and then let the team members figure it out on their own.

In fact, that's exactly what he did today.

However, Abu noticed that after watching Zhou Li's match video, instead of offering any constructive suggestions as usual, everyone fell silent.

When he asked Mingkai a question, Mingkai's response, "He seems to be better than me," completely stumped Abu.

Abu was furious and kicked everyone out.

In any case, EDG cannot afford to lose tomorrow's match.

That kid named Zhou Li is even better at hyping things up than Abu.

First, he posted two short essays on Weibo, which immediately became a trending topic.

Abu still remembers those two trending topics.

One of them is #ZhouLiClassicalTextCriticizesEDG#
One is the #educational level of professional esports players#.
Some netizens even compared his Weibo posts with Zhou Li's.

It's worth noting that Abu has a legitimate college diploma, while Zhou Li didn't even graduate from high school.

This comparison has even led people to investigate whether Abu has falsified his academic credentials.

Zhou Li, in particular, is a big fan of live streaming.

For the past few days, this kid has been streaming for five hours straight every day, not playing games, just chatting.

He directly became a chat streamer in the League of Legends section.

As for what Zhou Li talks about every day, he naturally talks about Abu's past and present life.

In yesterday's live stream, he even invited his deceased sister to join him for a live chat, which made for a fantastic show.

It was jokingly referred to by netizens as a "live stream that transcends life and death".

Zhou Li's series of moves made Abu a hot commodity in the e-sports circle once again.

Meanwhile, both old and new rivalries between WE and EDG were brought up again. The match hadn't even started, yet the hype was already off the charts!

In this situation, how could EDG possibly afford to lose?!

No matter how hard Abu tries, his skill level is what it is.

He sighed and began to console himself.

"Royal Family is a team that fought to avoid relegation in the Spring Split. Although they changed to Korean players, they have big problems with team synergy, and their strength is definitely not that great. WE.A is just a bunch of inexperienced youngsters who just came up from the second division. How can they possibly beat EDG?"

Abu comforted himself as he returned to his dorm and fell asleep immediately.

That night, he had a dream.

In his dream, there was a man who kept teaching him archery etiquette.

The man had a ferocious and menacing face. He was wearing the same white vest as the old man, Sanya-style beach shorts, and flip-flops.

This is clearly the Zhou ritual!
-
"Viewers watching the live stream! You are now watching the regular season of the 2014 League of Legends Pro League Spring Split! The two teams facing off are EDG Esports Club and WE.A Esports Club! I'm your commentator, Miller!"

"I'm the commentator, Waa!"

"I'm Bella, the commentator!"

The competition venue has long since turned into a sea of ​​red!
WE.A is WE's youth training team, which had not received much attention before.

However, Zhou Li's week-long preparations had completely excited the 60e fans, leading to a situation where tickets for today's competition were extremely difficult to obtain.

It's worth noting that even the current WE team can't achieve this level of success.

After all, fans of 60e know that WE is no longer a match for EDG.

From a rational perspective, WE.A, as WE's youth training team, is naturally not as strong as WE.

If WE couldn't beat EDG, then logically WE.A shouldn't be able to beat them either.

Even so, they still believed in Zhou Li and followed their "sun" to the competition venue.

This is the personal charisma of a great leader!

The three commentators in the commentary booth were also very excited about this grudge match.

Miller's smile never faded from the moment he stepped onto the stage.

"Today's match is attracting a lot of attention! The friction and conflicts between the two teams, their dissatisfaction and resentment towards each other, will probably be fully revealed in this match. To be honest, I can't wait to see it."

Bella had already pulled out her notebook in the commentary booth and began to speak:

"This is the first time these two teams have faced each other today! EDG currently maintains a 100% win rate in the league, having won both of their matches in the first round. Moreover, their opponent at that time was also a top team in the league, OMG."

The director then began to focus the camera on each of the contestants.

"Support player Curly Hair, the highest-ranked player in the Challenger tier, with a KDA of 8.25, specializes in Nami and LeBlanc!"

"ADC player Nami, ranked Challenger, with a KDA of 10.33, specializes in Kog'Maw and Lucian."

"Mid-lane player U, ranked Challenger, KDA 5.29, specializes in Lulu."

"The jungler is Clearlove, who is the highest-ranked player with a KDA of 3.89. His best champions are Elise and Kha'Zix."

Although the factory manager's departure from WE made the 60e fans hate him to the bone.

However, he had already accumulated a fan base during his time with WE, and with his victory in the Spring Split, the audience still applauded when Bella introduced Clearlove.

Of course, boos also rang out at the same time.

"Manager Miller said, "As the top jungler in the country, I feel that his duel with Zhou Li today will definitely be a highlight."

"Top laner Koro1, Challenger rank, KDA 2.3, best champions are Irelia and Kayle."

At this moment, the doll spoke up:
"It's worth mentioning that today's Koro1 is facing the Korean top laner Khan!"

Miller nodded, and said with some doubt:

"That's something I find a bit strange. I've looked into Khan, this Korean player. Although he played professionally in Korea for a year, his results weren't outstanding. WE.A chose to replace Flandre, who performed quite well in the last match, with Khan in this game. I don't quite understand it."

Miller had barely finished speaking when the director cut the camera.

In the live broadcast, Khan was sitting in front of the camera, clearly giving an interview before the match.

"Ah—because I'm bound to be a noob, and my sister is as good as Flandre, so the team let me practice Lai for a bit, thinking that it's enough to beat EDG."

Listening to the Khan's interview, Miller couldn't help but laugh and say, "Wow! This Khan is a little arrogant!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Khan looked off-camera and muttered in the live stream:

"Brother Zhou, did I pronounce it correctly?"

The doll nodded in sudden realization.

"Ah, so Zhou Li made him say that. That makes sense then. That's exactly the flavor, no problem."

At this moment, Khan's high-profile appearance in the live broadcast room made people remember his face immediately.

This student speaks very good Chinese.

I don't know why, but even though his Mandarin was very broken, I could always hear a hint of familiarity in his voice.

[To be honest, Zhou Li just criticized Royal Club for hiring Korean players last week, and then he brought in Korean players to play against EDG?]

Hey bro, WE.A is a youth academy team. Guess what Khan came to the youth academy for?

[A Korean player with a Diamond I rank and a KDA of 3.4 is struggling; to be honest, he does seem pretty bad.]

This isn't South Korean aid; this is clearly aiding South Korea!

[Bro, look at this guy's ID: Khan, anti-Korean!]

Bella continued her introduction, following the director's camera.

"Mid-lane player Xiye, ranked Challenger, with a KDA of 2.35, specializes in Lulu, LeBlanc, and Ziggs."

"ADC player Sima Laozei, the highest-ranked player in the game, with a KDA of 2.33, is skilled at playing Lucian, Corki, and Kog'Maw."

"Support player Xiaoming, the highest rank in Challenger, with a KDA of 2.12, specializes in Thresh and Nami."

As Bella introduced herself, the viewers in the live stream couldn't help but get nervous.

Holy crap, the KDA difference between the two carries is just too big!

WE.A's playstyle is quite aggressive, so their KDA is generally low. But to be honest, it's really quite bad. Nami's KDA is over 10, and Sima Laozei's is in the 2s...

Brothers, can WE.A really win today?

This seems a bit difficult...

At this moment, the director also focused the camera on Zhou Li.

Bella's voice rang out at the same time.

"Jungler Zhou Li! His rank is—Platinum 1..."

"KDA is—12.3!"
