Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 152: Just playing a random game and it became the number one bestseller? (1.04 views)

After a brief introduction and pleasantries, the atmosphere in the training room began to stir with anticipation.

Because Li Fan didn't stand on ceremony, he directly suggested playing a few rounds to see how it went.

Guo Hao immediately nodded in agreement: "The equipment has been tested and can be started at any time."

Li Fan, Xiaorong, XDD, and Mming formed the first team and entered the game.

In the first round, with the flight path centered, Li Fan immediately marked Pochinki. "Jump here, let's practice urban warfare and close-quarters teamwork."

"Understood." With a smile, he immediately began assigning landing points and initial search routes.

XDD and Mming, these two young players, are like tigers unleashed from their cages, not only quick in their reactions but also with accurate marksmanship.

Li Fan can easily infiltrate the area, acting as a scout to probe enemy positions and using precise sniping for long-range suppression.

The team's communication was a bit awkward at first, but after Li Fan made a few key decisions, the rhythm quickly became smooth.

XDD's inspirational breakthrough and Mming's stable output complemented each other well, and Smile's overall vision and command gradually showed their value.

The final circle appeared in a wheat field. With Li Fan's grenade blowing up the lone wolf behind cover, and the crossfire from XDD and Mming, the team successfully won the game with a total of 12 kills.

"Nice!" XDD exclaimed excitedly, and Mming smiled shyly.

In the second game, Xiaoxiao was substituted in, and Xiaoxiao left the game.

This time they chose to develop in the jungle and steadily advance in the mid-game.

Despite encountering several strong attacks, the team's overall coordination was significantly better than in the first game.

In the final circle in the mountains near the mine, Li Fan and Xiao Xiao held the high ground and XDD and Mming flanked them, securing another chicken dinner with 15 kills.

Two consecutive chicken dinners made the atmosphere in the training room much more lively.

Guo Hao watched from the side, a satisfied smile on his face. The four players recruited by the PUBG division were all quite strong.

Then they started changing players again...

In the third game, the new combination still demonstrated formidable fighting power.

As an assault soldier, Xiao Xiao's marksmanship is indeed fierce, and her close-range combat ability to break through enemy lines is excellent.

The team's overall style was more aggressive, fighting their way out from the airport and eventually encountering another full-strength team in the final circle.

Although Li Fan and XDD performed exceptionally well, taking down two opponents in succession, Xiao Xiao's positioning at a crucial moment was slightly reckless, allowing the two opponents to seize the opportunity and achieve a counter-kill, resulting in the team finishing the match in second place. However, this match also saw the most kills, with a total of twenty-one kills.

"Oh dear, I acted impulsively just now." Xiao Xiao scratched her head in annoyance. If she had played more cautiously, she probably would have won this game.

"It's not a big problem. Playing a bit more aggressively is a good thing. Just pay attention to timing and cover. As long as you make conscious adjustments, it's not a big issue," Li Fan said with a smile.

In the last round, Dingdang took a break.

In this game, the team seemed to have some bad luck, encountering unfavorable circle conditions repeatedly and having to make long-distance relocations.

During the transfer, the team had some disagreements. Smile was inclined to circle around and avoid battle, while Lu Bu thought they could try to force their way in.

In this situation, Li Fan did not give any instructions, because Xiaorong was the main commander in this round, and Li Fan wanted to see how well Xiaorong could perform.

After all, he must have some ability to become the absolute core of OMG.

Everyone followed the commander's instructions, but during the circling process, they were ambushed by the team stuck at the edge of the circle, resulting in the loss of Xiaoxiao and Lü Bu.

When they entered the next circle, Li Fan and Xiao Rong tried their best, but the disadvantage of being outnumbered 2 to 4 was too great, and the loss of two assault players had a significant impact. In the end, they only managed to get fifth place.

After four training matches, the results were striking: the combination of Li Fan + XDD + Mming... won two games, while the combination of Li Fan + Xiaorong + Xiaoxiao did not win a single game.

This result created a subtle atmosphere in the training room.

Both Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao looked somewhat awkward and unnatural.

The results of this controlled variable method are too obvious. The problem seems to lie with the two of them, or rather, when the two of them are present, the team chemistry doesn't seem to be as smooth as when XDD or Mming are present...

Doesn't this mean that both of them have problems?
Li Fan looked at the final battle statistics on the screen, then at Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao, who seemed somewhat dejected, and suddenly laughed.

"Alright, stop looking so serious." He clapped his hands, breaking the silence of the eye training. "We've only played four games, the sample size is too small to prove much. And haven't you noticed? The level of ranked matches now is completely different from what it was half a month ago. The opponents are all very strong."

He pointed to the IDs and team prefixes on the screen: "Look at the opponents we've faced, LGD, TYLOO, OMG... almost all of them are already established professional teams. The current high-elo ranks in the Asia server are basically at the level of scrims. We're a newly formed team, and we haven't had much time to gel, so it's already quite good that we've performed like this in these kinds of matches."

He looked at Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao's command strategy is very clear and her overall vision is very good. However, we still need more practice to build tacit understanding. Xiaoxiao's shooting skills are very strong, and her ability to break through enemy lines is what the team needs."

Then, Li Fan looked at XDD and Mming: "Xiaodingdang and Mingming's talent and strength have been evident to everyone in these few games. They are indeed top-notch. But we are a team, not just a simple combination of individual abilities. In most cases, you need to cooperate with your teammates."

Li Fan stood up and glanced at his four new teammates: "I'm actually quite satisfied with today's trial."

It wasn't because we won two games, but because I saw your potential and also saw areas where we need to improve. Smile and Xiaoxiao, don't feel awkward. Team cohesion takes time, and everyone's strengths and pace need to adapt to each other.

"Next, what we need to do is play game by game, practice match by match, hone our teamwork, and establish our tactical system. The Huya Bounty Tournament is just around the corner, and I have a lot of confidence in our lineup. Let's start by winning the championship in this match!"

After hearing Li Fan's summary, which was both affirming and pointed out the direction, Xiao Xiao's smile and embarrassment faded considerably, replaced by an expression of determination to work hard and prove herself.

XDD and Mming nodded seriously.

Guo Hao watched from the side, secretly admiring the scene.

Although Li Fan is young, he has a leadership quality. Not only is his gaming skill top-notch, but he is also quite experienced in uniting the team and boosting morale.

“Brother Fan is right!” Guo Hao spoke up at the right time. “Everyone here is a one-in-a-million talent, and we haven’t been together for very long. We need to work on our teamwork to achieve better results.”

"Today is just the beginning; we will have a systematic training plan coming up."

"Okay!" everyone responded in unison, and the atmosphere in the training room instantly became relaxed.

The intense competition of the four rounds made them less unfamiliar with each other and more familiar with each other.

Just as the U.TES team had completed its initial integration and all members were immersed in intensive pre-match training.

As planned, Li Fan returned to his daily training. There wasn't enough time for live streaming now, as the Summer Split was about to start, and once the competition began, he wouldn't be able to earn learning points as easily as he used to.

Moreover, Guo Hao is in charge of daily management and training arrangements for PUBG, so Li Fan only needs to participate in joint training and tactical discussions at key points.

On the afternoon of the same day he returned to the EDG base, manager Ono found him.

"Li Fan, we've arranged a practice match this afternoon. You can play a game. There's a new top laner coming for a trial today, so see how you feel about it."

"A new top laner? Who is that?" Although Li Fan was asking the question, he already had a guess in his mind who the trial top laner was.

I thought that after winning the Mid-Season Invitational and having waited so long, EDG probably wouldn't bother trying out their top laner.

Unexpectedly, Koro1 told everyone two days ago that he wanted to transfer to RNG, and EDG acted very quickly, immediately wanting to add another substitute top laner.

This is still very necessary for top teams.

In case of any problems, there is a substitute player who can step in.

Although the possibility is relatively low, it cannot be ruled out.

For example, the current RNG team has players that fill the entire screen. There are three substitutes in the bottom lane alone, and if you add the other positions, it's a team of eleven.

Although EDG hasn't reached that level yet, adding a substitute top laner would be about right.

"A Korean solo queue pro, who previously played in WE's youth academy, his ID is TheShy, and his real name is Kang Seung-rok. His mechanics are incredibly sharp, but his playstyle is a bit... too aggressive. He has a very strong laning phase, but it still depends on team coordination. But with this, we have a bit too many Koreans in our team," Ono complained.

Li Fan, being a reborn individual, didn't place too much importance on this point.

After all, a club is a club, and a national team is a national team; there is a big difference between them.

However, having an all-Chinese roster still generates a lot of buzz for League of Legends clubs.

For example, although RNG didn't win the Spring Split championship, they still received a lot of attention, and many people would specifically call them the strongest all-Chinese team, using this to mock EDG for having a Korean bot laner and a Korean coach...

However, EDG's core player is Li Fan, so no matter what these people say, EDG fans can accept it and can't attack them.

Besides, wasn't it Royal Family that first started the trend of sending Korean players?

Then they also won the runner-up that year. From this perspective, the runner-up that the royal family won also involved Koreans.

Uzi won two runner-up titles, but one of them wasn't even considered a very prestigious one.

EDG is now winning the championship, isn't that much better than you winning countless runner-up titles?

In this situation, RNG's fan groups did not gain any favors but were instead subjected to relentless ridicule and sarcasm.

This is normal, though, because the fan groups of these two teams are arguing every day.

The main reason is still the factory manager and Uzi...

Piglets and dog lovers are not at all like friends; on the contrary, they are irreconcilable enemies.

If there's only one way to reconcile, it's for Clearlove and Uzi to be on the same team and win the World Championship. Neither of them can win the FMVP award.

This way, the piglets and puppies will focus their firepower on the person who won the FMVP.

Thus, the principle that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is upheld.

Next, they will unite against a common enemy and turn hostility into friendship.

Hearing Ono's words, Li Fan nodded.

Playing practice matches usually involves only three or four games, so it won't take up too much time overall.

And the Summer Split is about to start, so I'll just play some practice matches with my teammates to warm up my skills.

After finishing his conversation with Ono, Li Fan returned to the training room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a slightly reserved young figure standing behind Scout's seat, quietly watching Scout rank.

The man was very tall but thin, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and his face still had a youthful look. He was TheShy, who had come to try out for EDG.

Wearing a simple T-shirt and sweatpants, he stood out from the other players in the training room who were wearing EDG team uniforms.

Scout was clearly in a good mood, talking to TheShy in Korean while playing, and TheShy kept nodding, looking like a little lackey.

However, for Scout, at the EDG base, a Korean compatriot who was younger and less experienced than him finally arrived.

This gave him some fun in bullying the younger generation, and it also helped him relieve some of the resentment he felt when he was oppressed.

He's a very reasonable person. If he was oppressed by his seniors, then he should also accept the oppression he receives from them later...

Quick Star, on the other hand, sat to the side, not paying any attention to what was happening around him.

This is very normal.

It would have been even worse if it weren't in China.

TheShy heard the door open and instinctively turned his head.

When he saw that it was Li Fan who walked in, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately showed a nervous and respectful expression.

He quickly stood up straight, bowed almost ninety degrees towards Li Fan, and then said in broken Chinese:
"Hello! Senior!"

Although Li Fan couldn't hear his slurred Chinese clearly, he understood from the gesture and context that the man was greeting him.

However, TheShy's almost perfect 90-degree bow still took me a moment to catch off guard.

In China's e-sports circle, although seniority and respect are important, such a solemn bowing is still rare, which made him feel a little uncomfortable at first.

Subconsciously, I turned to the side to avoid being greeted directly.

Li Fan cleared his throat slightly awkwardly, nodded to TheShy who was still bowing, and said, "Yes, hello, hello, no need to be so polite."

TheShy then straightened up, but his hands remained somewhat awkwardly pressed against the seams of his pants.

Seeing TheShy's little actions, I can't help but think of the audience's comments about him later on: "He was like a lackey during those eighteen episodes..."

It is indeed quite humble.

You must greet everyone you meet with a bow.

Just then, Coach Quick Star clapped his hands and said in both Chinese and Korean, "Alright, everyone get ready, the scrim with OMG will start in five minutes."

During this period, Quickstar has been working really hard to learn Chinese.

Although she still has an accent, she can communicate normally without any problems.

The reason he's working so hard is because Abramovich was kicked out of the club, and he hasn't even mentioned going to find a coach yet.

After winning the Mid-Season Invitational, his salary also increased significantly.

There was so much to look forward to in those days.
"Top laner on trial, sit in that empty seat and log in with the prepared account."

I can't even remember the names of the top laners who came here for tryouts at Quick Star.

If you have the ability, you can stay; if you don't, what's the use of remembering it now? It's completely useless.

Esports is a sport that emphasizes skill above all else.

"Yes!" TheShy immediately responded in Korean, quickly walked to the designated computer, sat down, and began to take deep breaths, trying to calm his overly nervous emotions.

For him, being able to try out for EDG, who had just won the MSI championship, was an extremely valuable opportunity, and he was eager to stay.

However, when Quickstar heard the Korean reply, he couldn't help but frown.

"Damn it! You've been playing professionally or in youth training in China for so long and you still can't speak Chinese? What's wrong with your brain? Do you expect me to translate for you during matches? You're so shameless, you little bastard!"

Especially since he himself has already learned Chinese, all the Korean players who come to the EDG team must learn it as well.

Otherwise, he couldn't accept that these athletes didn't suffer the same hardships as him.

Even though Quick Star's sudden rebuke was in Korean, the undisguised anger silenced everyone.

TheShy was stunned by these harsh words, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

Almost reflexively, he stood up from his gaming chair, bowed deeply towards Quickstar, and kept apologizing in Korean: "I'm...I'm sorry! Coach-nim! It's my fault! I'm so sorry!"

Seeing his timid and apologetic demeanor, Quick Star was not appeased but instead became even more irritated, his tone becoming increasingly unfriendly: "Damn it! You have no professional player's manners or awareness whatsoever. Do you think you can win a professional match by bowing and apologizing? Even if you get lucky and win a championship, with your attitude, your future path will only become narrower and your performance will only get worse!"

He paused for a moment, then looked at TheShy's lackey-like appearance and softened his tone slightly: "However, you are not my player yet, and I have no obligation to waste my breath teaching you."

"If you want to change how others perceive you, if you want to seize the opportunity that could change your life, then in the upcoming training matches, use your skills and your brain to show me what can attract me. Your trial today may be the last chance of your professional career."

These words were like cold, sharp needles, piercing TheShy's heart.

But he could only keep his head down, not daring to raise it. His eyes were red, but his clenched fists revealed his inner resentment and frustration.

Even if you have a lot of grievances, at this point you can only choose to accept it.

There's no way around it; besides being a senior, Quickstar is also a coach.

This isn't just about one rank of official crushing someone; it's about two or three ranks higher.

In this situation, all one can do is nod repeatedly.

Scout felt much more relaxed at this point. He still hoped that TheShy could stay, so that the coach wouldn't focus so much on him.

Maybe things will get more comfortable later on...

In practice matches, just pick a support hero and go support the top lane.

If we help him improve his stats, he should still have a chance.

Quickstar said no more, only gave TheShy a cold glance, and then turned to Li Fan and said in Chinese: "Li Fan, you play in the first game."

Li Fan nodded and quickly entered the room.

Scout sat to the side with a rather stiff expression. Although he had considered that he wouldn't be playing in the scrim so soon, he still held a certain amount of expectation...

After all, TheShy is Korean, so it would be better if he played the first game himself, as the communication would be better.

But to his utter surprise, Quick Star has now chosen Li Fan again.

What is it about him that makes you like him so much?

The Thief Saint was genuinely puzzled at this moment.

But just then, Quickstar said something that made Scout breathe a sigh of relief: "Indeed, we are from the same country."

At this moment, Quickstar said, "If Li Fan plays one game, Scout, you can play!"

I was instantly excited.

The practice match was a best-of-five series, so I played four games, which is three more games than Li Fan played one. The coach values ​​my potential more and wants to use the practice match to develop my potential.

The thought of it is incredibly exciting...

Don't worry, I understand what you're thinking, and I'll definitely hold back!

However, in reality, QuickStar just felt that this kind of training match was useless for Li Fan, and the gap between Li Fan and Icon was too big once Li Fan went to the mid lane. Icon was no match for him at all, so there was nothing more to say under these circumstances.

Playing too many of these pointless matches will only affect your performance. It would be better to play one match and then have Li Fan stream it.

So the remaining garbage time can be handled by scout.

This is a form of waste recycling, which is good for everyone.

The first draft phase begins.

Quickstar stood behind the group, arms crossed, his gaze mainly fixed on TheShy's screen.

"TheShy, what do you want to play?"

Upon hearing this, TheShy stiffened and hesitated for a moment, but still said in Korean, "Jayce...is Jayce okay, Coach?"

Quickstar frowned slightly, but this time he didn't get angry. He just said calmly, "Okay, you can take Jayce, but you have to gain an advantage in the laning phase and let me see your laning ability."

"Yes... thank you, Coach," TheShy quickly replied. Top lane Jayce should have no major problems against Shen, and should be able to easily gain an advantage in lane.

Li Fan chose the hero "Airplane".

In this version, the plane will become the main carry in the mid lane.

The reason is simple: as one of the few mid-lane heroes who can benefit from Ardent Censer, they have very strong combat power in the mid-to-late game and are not lacking in AP damage. Under these circumstances, they naturally become highly sought after. For example, Lucian has a higher priority.

Of course, Lucian's advantage lies in his stronger ability to snowball in the early and mid-game...

Li Fan controlled Corki steadily in the mid lane, and he was not in a hurry to get a solo kill against Icon's Syndra.

Instead, use E and Q skills to harass and clear waves, patiently waiting for your items to be completed and your bomb pack to arrive.

That's when you really shine; in the early game, you have to wait for the opponent to give you an opportunity to solo kill someone.

But once on the road, it's a completely different story.

TheShy's Jayce displayed immense dominance from the moment he entered the lane.

He used his long reach to constantly poke at Shen in the sunset, his positioning was extremely tricky, and he always seized the perfect moment to switch forms.

They achieved a lead in both last-hitting and experience gain.

It's clear that he has an extremely high level of proficiency with the champion Jayce.

But high proficiency is useless...

This extreme suppression also attracted the attention of OMG's jungler, World Sister.

Just after reaching level three, Lee Sin moved to the top lane.

The extreme pressure on the top lane resulted in a lack of suitable wards in the early game, leading to their gank and death.

Looking at his black and white screen, TheShy said in broken Chinese, "My..."

You could sense his frustration.

"It's okay, just play steadily in the top lane. Whether you're ahead in CS or not doesn't really matter. Just farm normally and poke damage with Corki." Clearlove was controlling Sejuani and farming in the bottom half of the jungle.

But just two minutes later, the jungler targeted the top lane again, and together with Shen, they easily killed Jayce.

0-2! Less than six minutes into the game, Jayce has already died twice.

TheShy's face turned extremely pale, his lips were tightly pressed together, and his hand holding the mouse was trembling slightly.

The main reason was that he could feel the gaze of the fast-moving star behind him, as if mocking him, "See, this is what happens when you recklessly cross the line."

The enemy jungler will come and easily take your kill.

I picked Jayce to play the laning phase, and this is what happened? That's really funny.

"You're at a significant disadvantage in the top lane, be careful, they might keep targeting you," Li Fan warned while safely farming minions in the mid lane.

Although he had a slight advantage in lane, it was far less than that of the top lane.

Of course, Li Fan also knew that TheShy might not understand.

So after saying that, I didn't pay any more attention to it...

However, the factory manager wasn't someone who wouldn't look for any opportunities.

They successfully ganked and killed Syndra in the mid lane.

Once Li Fan got the kill, he felt less pressured.

But on the way up... dying again made things a little strange.

The turning point came at 11 minutes when Li Fan brought a bomb and prepared to cause trouble.

A four-man gank on the bottom lane was formed instantly.

EDG's most familiar and effective tactic right now is the four-man gank on the second flank.

Li Fan's plane, carrying explosives, descended from the sky, its devastating burning path instantly severing the battlefield...

With Sejuani's ultimate ability providing crowd control, they easily eliminated the bottom lane duo.

Although OMG provided support quickly... by the time they reached the bottom lane duo, they had already fallen under the turret.

After securing two more kills, Li Fan's plane became the absolute core in the subsequent team fight.

Once the Trinity Force of Manamune was completed, the combined damage from the plane was completely overwhelming for OMG.

Shen can block basic attacks, but he can't block missiles from aircraft.

This made it very easy to take over the game.

Entering the fray with explosives is nothing short of devastating, and the poke damage makes OMG's front line suffer terribly.

TheShy's Jayce, on the other hand, completely became a player who capitalized on the momentum.

But it's already pretty good that he can take advantage of the situation. He uses his cannon to whittle down the enemy from the flanks, and occasionally switches to hammer form to enter the fray and finish off the low-health enemies...

数据从难看的0-4-0，慢慢变成了3-4-4，再到最终的5-5-5。

At least his record is positive, and it seems like the way Quick Star looks at him has changed again.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that staying would become much more difficult.

The skill level is not right!

They said they were going to perform well, but they ended up playing like this! They got ganked and killed repeatedly online, giving the impression that they have no brains and just come in blindly.

Twenty-four minutes.

In a high-ground team fight, Li Fan's plane once again used explosive packs to cut through the battlefield and deal explosive AOE damage.

EDG scored a 1-for-4 trade, and OMG, seeing no hope of a comeback, immediately typed GG.

game over.

Li Fan's score on the plane was 11-0-6, with the highest damage output of the entire match, making him undoubtedly the MVP of this game.

TheShy's Jayce had a score of 5-5-3, which seems acceptable, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that his impact is far less impressive than the numbers suggest...

The fact that they were caught and killed four times in the early game made the game so difficult to win. If they had an advantage in the early game, OMG might have already committed to the game. They thought they could rely on the strength of their top and jungle to see if Sima Laozei could carry the game.

The EDG training room was quiet.

TheShy looked at his computer, his face showing no joy, only deep embarrassment.

Quick Star crossed his arms, his face expressionless. He glanced at the data panel and then coldly said in Korean:

"You've managed to get the stats right, but why were you caught out so badly in the early game? You were only thinking about pressuring people and not considering the jungler's role. The worst part is that you can't understand anything and can't communicate. How did you even come to China to compete?"

If it weren't for Li Fan's strong mid lane, we would have lost this game long ago because your top lane became the weak point. Take a three-minute break, and prepare for Scout to come on in the second game.

Actually, it's not that there's absolutely no way to communicate.

After all, the factory manager and Meiko had previously worked with Deft and Pawn, so they could speak basic English and Korean.

However, with the top lane collapsing so quickly, there's no point in communicating.

Li Fan took off his headphones and stood up.

Upon hearing this, Scout perked up and immediately sat down in the mid lane position.

He needs to perform well now and try to keep this younger brother on the road!
Perhaps they can regain their starting position through good teamwork between the top and middle players.

He nodded to Kuaisu Xing, then returned to his seat and expertly started the live stream.

Meanwhile, scrimmages continued, with Scout taking over the mid-lane position, full of fighting spirit and ready to show his skills.

In the remaining four training matches, EDG performed well overall, and won three of them relatively smoothly.

Scout performed exceptionally well in these four games, whether using supportive heroes to coordinate with the top lane or picking carry mages to exert pressure in the mid lane, his stats were quite impressive.

They did indeed dominate the game and influence its outcome.

When the last training match ended, Scout looked at his impressive stats panel and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

He even secretly glanced at Coach Kuaixing out of the corner of his eye, secretly hoping: "My performance in these four games should be enough to change the coach's opinion of me, right? Maybe... I can get a starting position directly..."

This is all thanks to his hard work during this period.

However, when he looked up expectantly, he found that Fast Star's attention was not on him at all.

At this moment, Quickstar was intently staring at the tablet in his hand, his fingers flying across the screen as if recording and analyzing something, completely unaware of Scout's gaze.

Scout's smile froze instantly, a sense of disappointment welling up inside him. The coach hadn't paid any attention to his brilliant performance at all.

In fact, at this moment, QuickStar is looking at the tablet and analyzing in detail the characteristics that TheShy has revealed in several training matches:

[TheShy Tryout Evaluation]

Advantage:

He possesses exceptional laning ability, demonstrates refined mechanics, and exerts tremendous pressure, making him a rare and aggressive top laner.

The hero pool leans towards carry-type warriors, possessing extremely strong potential to break through in a single lane.

They have a decent ability to adjust their mindset; even if they collapse in the early stages, they can still manage to stay in the game later.

Disadvantage:

Their weak awareness of ganking makes them an easy target for the enemy jungler.

His playing style is too aggressive, sometimes he becomes disconnected from the team, there are communication barriers, and he doesn't understand Chinese at all.

The current version favors tanks and teamfight-oriented top laners, and the hero pool is not compatible with the current version.

Overall evaluation and recommendations:
His talent is obvious, and he is a top laner with potential. His strong laning ability is quite good, but he is not the type that is most needed in the current version. Moreover, he is very easy to be used as a weak point and needs a special supporting tactical system.

Recommendation: You could sign him as a potential reserve player.

With Li Fan anchoring the mid lane, the team has no shortage of core carry players, so there's no need to risk using an immature top lane strategy.

They can be allowed to train with the team, with a focus on developing their awareness of anti-ganking techniques, teamwork, and Chinese language skills.

If future versions are updated to favor top lane warriors, it could enrich the tactical system.

Quickly, Xing finished writing the assessment and had already made up his mind.

TheShy is worth investing in, but he doesn't need to be put to use right now.

He put away the tablet, glanced at Scout who looked somewhat disappointed, but didn't say anything.

This guy was already considered the king of scrims in his mind. He was a complete mess when it came to scrims and actual matches. He couldn't accept a player like that, so he had given up on him long ago.

He then looked at TheShy, who was anxiously waiting for notification, and said in Korean: "The trial is over, TheShy. I saw your laning ability, but your problems are also obvious. The club will consider all aspects and will notify you of any further news."

He did not give a clear answer, but at least his words did not directly deny it.

This gave TheShy a glimmer of hope, and he quickly stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Coach! I will try my best to improve! And I will work hard to learn Chinese."

Quickly, Xing nodded without saying anything more.

Scout, seeing that Quickstar still wasn't paying much attention to him, sullenly touched his nose and started his own ranked game.

Li Fan's live stream was already packed with viewers.

The atmosphere was completely different from his dominance in the training match just now.

The screen displays a sinister and eerie campus scene, with dim lights and flickering ghostly figures, accompanied by chilling background music.

Just looking at it makes my scalp tingle and gives me a feeling of unease.

Li Fan carefully explored the area, and whenever there was the slightest disturbance, he would visibly stiffen and even subconsciously shrink back.

"Holy crap... What is this thing?!" A sudden, terrifying sound effect almost made him jump out of his chair, and he almost dropped the mouse.

Seeing Li Fan's performance, the live stream chat exploded with joyful comments.

To be honest, I never expected that Li Fan, with his handsome and tough image, would have such a funny style in the horror game he played.

[Hahaha! Fan-ge chickened out. If he was scared, he could have just not played.]

[You were supposed to be able to easily beat any game? Turns out, going back to school has scared you like this?]

[This is hilarious! That reaction was even more entertaining than when you solo-killed Faker! You didn't even flinch when you solo-killed Faker at the Mid-Season Invitational, but you were completely stunned by the return to school incident.]

[Stop playing, Fanbao. Watching you play is more tiring than watching me play. I'm not scared by the game, I'm scared by you.]

[To be fair, the game atmosphere is really top-notch, but Fan-ge, your courage is unbelievable! How can you be so cowardly?]

Li Fan took a deep breath, slowly shaking off his nervousness: "Who...who's a coward? This isn't cowardice at all, okay? This is an immersive game experience! Do you understand? This game is really well made, the plot and atmosphere are great...it's just a bit nerve-wracking, but don't be afraid, just follow along and figure it out, I guarantee you'll be fine."

Although Li Fan said he wasn't afraid, he was noticeably more cautious in controlling the character's movements.

It moved almost slowly, and would stand still for a long time to observe each new scene, which made the audience laugh out loud.

Li Fan was staring intently at the screen, hooking the necklace with an umbrella. However, the background music was becoming increasingly eerie, making him tense and causing him to unconsciously slow his breathing.

"I think... everything should be alright?" he reassured himself as he guided his character forward.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

Li Fan's reason was instantly consumed by fear, and he let out a terrifying scream, leaping off his gaming chair, his mouse and headphone cord flying wildly.

He instinctively backed away, his mouth still uncontrollably continuing to spew words.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What is that?! Help!!!"

But the one who started all this was the factory manager, who was standing behind him, still in the position of reaching out to pat his shoulder, but with a surprised expression on his face.

He clearly hadn't expected Li Fan's reaction to be so intense. Seeing Li Fan's still-shaken and pale face, the factory manager couldn't help but clutch his stomach and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Brother Fan! Are you serious?! Hahahaha!"

The number of comments in the live stream also increased as the factory manager launched this sneak attack.

Because it definitely has a lot of entertainment value.

Everyone was watching the game screen, but then this scream really gave everyone a fright.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

[I'm laughing so hard, everyone! It's such a waste that Fan Ge's voice isn't used for singing! If he debuted, no other brother could compete with him.]

[The factory manager is awesome! That shot produced a world-class high note!]

【Immersive Experiences】

【I'm Not Afraid at All】

[Fan Ge: I was terrified!]

[Did anyone record this? ...It looks like another hilarious moment.]

[This reaction is so real! It's exactly the same as when I first played it! That's exactly how I reacted.]

[Hey, you didn't jump three meters high, did you? Brother Fan can jump three meters high...]

"Brothers, it's really not my fault... This game development team is so inhuman... And that old bastard Kai, who knew he'd come up behind me and scare me after the practice match, who could withstand such a double blow!"

"I'm done playing, I need to rest for a bit..."

It has to be said that Li Fan got a critical hit from this, gaining 600 learning points plus a valuable free attribute point!

This immediately brightened Li Fan's eyes, and he calmed down a bit.

This free attribute was directly added to the reaction, increasing the reaction to 92!

The scene where Li Fan was so frightened by the factory manager that he took off on the spot was recorded by viewers with lightning-fast fingers and captioned with all sorts of funny subtitles, and quickly spread on social media such as Weibo, Tieba, and forums.

#UnrealPlaysDetentionSchoolsAndGetsScaredOutByFactoryManager# quickly became a trending topic.

[Hilarious! The MSI champion was scared like this by a game?]

[So Unreal Engine has this adorable side too! I'm a fan now! He's not just a cold-blooded killer.]

What's even more unexpected is that Li Fan's incredibly realistic gaming experience and his exaggerated reactions sparked immense curiosity among a large audience about "Detention," a relatively niche horror game.

"Is it really that scary? To scare professional players like this?"

"I checked it out on Steam, and the price isn't too high, so I'll buy one to try it out!"

"Let's team up and take on this challenge, brothers! Let's see who can handle it without getting scared! It's not as terrifying as we imagined, is it?"

Driven by such massive traffic, the sales of the game "Detention" began to grow at an astonishing rate.

Originally, it wasn't even on the Steam best-selling list, but its ranking started to skyrocket.

Dozens... a dozen... the top five... and even surged to first place.

This shocked everyone once again.

Is it possible to make a game popular and rise to the top of the best-selling list simply by playing it and generating discussion after the live stream ends?

Is it that exaggerated?
