We promised to win the championship together, so why did you all retire?

I have to say, Ms. Zoe is truly a stunning beauty.

At level 1, use Q to poke minions and then A to whittle them down. At level 2, hit E and you'll lose half health. At level 3, just pick up any random skill and you can confidently push forward.

If the opponent dares to fight to the end, once the ignition is activated, they can turn into a mad dog and bite wildly.

That's just how the upper-class heroes are.

Fun fact: Zoe's passive three-hit combo deals more damage than a LeBlanc's QW combo at the same level.

Aside from being helpless when faced with a relentless onslaught from the enemy's aggressive playstyle after the laning phase, he's basically a perfect mid-lane template.

Zoe has completed her rehabilitation in three sessions.

Bai Liang has fallen into evil.

—Irelia, please don't contact me anymore. I'm afraid Miss Zoe will misunderstand.

The gap is just too big.

This version of the mage is so powerful that you can have a blast playing with it once you get your hands on it.

Bai Liang was still getting used to the game when he suddenly went on a godlike run.

Keep in mind that this is a game with nearly a thousand points.

He has an advantage in the laning phase almost every game; even if he doesn't completely dominate, he'll definitely secure lane control.

Only veteran junglers know how awesome it is to have lane priority in the mid lane.

but……

Bai Liang also experienced firsthand how truly overpowered this version was.

Good news: Zoe's damage is incredibly high in the Mythic version.

Bad news: Other heroes also deal explosive damage.

He's 8/1 Zoe.

After going live, Syndra, who had 0/4 health, almost got instantly killed by a QE followed by R.

Overall, Bai Liang's journey of training to become a hero went quite smoothly.

After all, Zoe doesn't need to practice many combos; she relies more on skill accuracy.

The only move that could be considered difficult was the E-flash.

Unlike EZ's R-Flash, Zoe's E attack position changes depending on the Flash location.

Knowing when to use E-Flash requires a lot of judgment from the player.

After playing three games, Bai Liang, who had won two and lost one, put down the mouse and stretched.

He didn't rush to keep fighting.

Reviewing past performances is far more useful than blindly ranking up.

Bai Liang moved his body from side to side while carefully watching the recording of the game he lost.

It was only then that he realized something seemed off about the training room.

He twitched his nose.

It has a very refreshing orange scent.

"Oh, so that's what's wrong."

Bai Liang suddenly realized why he felt something was wrong.

—It turns out the taste was off.

I still remember the clubs he used to be in; the training rooms were usually filled with heavy smokers.

It's a habit for many early players to smoke a cigarette after finishing a game or while playing.

Therefore, training rooms are usually quite smoky.

Some even chewed on large fruits.

Many contestants drink and smoke in private.

Some of those weren't even done privately.

The most typical example is Imp.

This guy goes out drinking every few days.

The manager's words were useless, and the club's deductions were also ineffective.

That's how it is when a hobby becomes a profession.

Even if you love a game, your enthusiasm will gradually fade if you have to play it for more than ten hours every day.

Sometimes you need something to refresh yourself to relieve boredom and restlessness.

Actually, smoking is somewhat understandable.

Some contestants don't rely on this stuff.

They rely on female fans.

Those who know, know.

Bai Liang had seen this kind of thing countless times, and he couldn't control it.

However, the training room environment at the club now... seems quite green.

Bai Liang neither smokes nor drinks alcohol.

He can tolerate the smell of secondhand smoke, but he's really not interested in it.

Needless to say, he was too young at the time to drink alcohol.

By the time they were able to interact, he already had preconceived notions about him.

Uzbekistan doesn't smoke much anymore.

He used to smoke, but he gradually quit after discussing having a puppy with Aomimi.

TheShy only drinks alcohol and doesn't smoke.

None of the club's three current players smoke, so the air in the training room is naturally fresh.

In a sense, RG can be considered to have pioneered the LPL.

While Bai Liang was engaged in a calm yet intense training session, the club staff on the other side were having a much less relaxed time.

"Is that all?"

Chen Ye frowned as he looked at the thin layer of documents on the table.

The current RG roster is not yet complete.

Generally, clubs have three procedures for recruiting new players.

The first one is the simplest, but also the most difficult.

Go directly to Rank to draw cards.

It could be an Nvidia card, or it could be an SSR card.

It was all down to luck.

For example, Su Xiaoluo, the legendary manager of IG Club, once drew many SSR cards.

But the problem is that it's already 2021.

Most of the high-ranking players in the Chinese server who genuinely want to play professionally have already been contacted by various clubs.

Those that were considered good have basically been recruited into the youth training programs of various clubs.

Needless to say, those are the ones you don't like.

What future can someone have if they can't even get into youth training?

—Unless it's Korean.

There might still be talented newcomers in the LCK who will be tempted by the salaries offered by the LPL.

The problem is that there isn't enough time.

The fight is about to begin.

Even if you manage to pull an SSR, you won't have time to train an RG.

Uzi is about to have a baby, and TheShy has almost made enough money.

Are they even training new talent?

What RG needs most is immediate combat capability.

Therefore, this route is directly rejected.

The second method is more traditional and has been the most common method in the past.

—Selection competition.

By jointly organizing events with various clubs and the official organizers, the talented players that the clubs usually don't want to show off are put together to "cultivate" their potential.

The club will then hold another auction.

Unfortunately, this year's youth training selection has already concluded, and the next one will have to wait until 2022, a few months from now.

Therefore, this path is also blocked.

Therefore, RG is left with only one last path:

Industry referral.

Through recommendations from professional players or coaches, or by inquiring with other clubs if they have any qualified players.

However, this can be seen from the limited number of resumes in front of Chen Ye.

Other clubs either don't have suitable rookies in the jungle or support roles.

Or maybe they just don't want to let go.

This is a real headache.

No matter how capable you are, what can you do if they simply refuse to sell to you?

Chen Ye patiently and carefully reviewed the players recommended by the clubs.

[18 years old, a master of Hanbok...]

Upon seeing this, Chen Ye closed the resume again and casually tossed it into the nearby trash can.

He's a professional manager who has genuinely understood this new industry!

A master at 18? What kind of professional game is that?!

You're young but highly skilled, so you should at least have a share in that, right?

In the eyes of most ordinary players, the Master is indeed the same as Ryoumen Sukuna.

But in the real professional world...

Well, she can only be considered a loli.

Looking further down, Chen Ye felt increasingly numb.

"What the hell is this?!"

The highest-ranked player is a 21-year-old Korean server Challenger.

Place it within the context of normal professions.

At this age, he's in his prime.

But it's still too big for an esports player.

And at 21 years old, he has never played a game. There must be some fatal problem with this person.

The players recommended by these LPL clubs all seem to lack potential.

Chen Ye had a headache.

Is the club being targeted?
