LOL: Do I have to be a spinning top too?

He has the skills and the ability to dominate in lane, but his team fight execution, overall game sense, and mentality when behind are all lacking.

If we can help him fill in the gaps, could Qingtian achieve a different result?

Li Hu suddenly spoke, his tone serious:

"Come to the training room this afternoon."

"Huh?" Qing Tian was taken aback. "What?"

"I'll teach you how to play Darius."

Sunny's eyes widened: "You're going to teach me how to play Darius?"

"My Darius win rate is 70%, okay!"

"I whipped you into a spinning top right at the start of the practice match..."

"You have lane dominance, but your timing in team fights is problematic."

Li Hu interrupted him, his tone flat:

"After watching my Darius pentakill in the Demacia Cup, you should have noticed..."

"What you lack is not skill, but judgment in team fights."

"I can teach you when to dive the backline, when to protect your teammates, and when to sacrifice yourself."

"Because I've been observing your soloing habits for a long time and have identified all your shortcomings."

Sunny remained silent for a long while.

He looked at Li Hu, his eyes filled with gratitude, resentment, and struggle, which finally turned into a sigh.

"Tiger Bro, you really... don't you think I'm too bad as a substitute top laner?"

"Stop talking nonsense, remember what I said!"

"You are my best brother in TES."

Li Hu patted him on the shoulder, his tone sincere:

"We're good brothers, we don't talk about this."

Qingtian's eyes instantly reddened.

At 2 PM, Li Hu arrived at the team's training room carrying his peripheral bag.

He stood at the door for two seconds before pushing it open.

In his previous life, when he was on the bench in the second division, he didn't even have the right to enter the first team's training room.

Occasionally, when passing by, I can only peek inside through the glass door.

Now, that door is open to him.

He pushed open the door; the training room was empty.

The team members were still on vacation, and only Guo Hao stood in the corner by the window, directing two staff members to tinker with the computer.

"You're here?"

Guo Hao turned around and waved to him:

"Come and see your new location."

Li Hu walked over and saw Guo Hao pointing to a computer by the window.

"The location where Big Yellow used to be."

Guo Hao's tone was calm, but every word carried weight:

"I had it completely renovated, and all the peripherals were replaced."

"The chair arrived yesterday. It's the same brand as the gaming chair I mentioned to you. It's ergonomically designed, so your back won't ache even after sitting for a long time."

"The monitor refresh rate has been adjusted to your preferred 240Hz, and the mouse speed has also been adjusted according to your previous training match settings."

Li Hu sat down in the chair and tested the feel of it.

It was indeed comfortable, and Guo Hao's arrangements were truly thorough.

He pressed the power button, and the moment the screen lit up, the desktop background was the TES team logo...

The logo that netizens jokingly call the "spinning top team logo".

Li Hu stared at the team logo for two seconds, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Guo Hao pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, jokingly saying:

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

"We haven't treated our newest star at Top Esports unfairly, have we?"

"Brother Hao, stop teasing me."

Li Hu smiled at his teasing:

"Our team's big star is Jack."

"My level of discussion is nothing compared to Jack's."

"Don't underestimate your current popularity," Guo Hao said with a touch of emotion.

"In my opinion, you have the potential to become the next Jack."

"And your spinning top theory is all the rage online right now."

"It's not only spreading like wildfire on major social media platforms in China, but many top laners from South Korea and Europe have also agreed with your statement."

"There's a trending post on Korean websites titled 'The Relativity of LPL's Rookie Top Laner's Gyro, What Do LCK Top Laners Think?'"

"Kiin, a well-known professional top laner, said in his livestream that the essence of top lane is indeed suppression and counter-suppression, and your description is very apt."

He paused, his tone becoming serious:

"But you have to be mentally prepared."

"Popularity can make or break a person."

"You can go from an unknown to a rising star in half a month, and you can go from a genius to a target of public criticism in a week."

"Stay calm, don't get carried away. Professional players are judged by their results."

Li Hu, of course, understood what Guo Hao meant.

In the LPL, a place of fame and fortune, fan count, trending topics, and traffic are all superficial.

Only results can truly give you a foothold in the world.

He nodded: "I know, Brother Hao."

"Those who have no achievements are clowns who yell wildly; those who have achievements have the confidence to yell wildly."

"I will practice hard and do my best until I win the World Championship."

"I'm relieved that you think that way."

"Maybe the day you win the World Championship, you'll really be like JackeyLove."

Guo Hao finished speaking, smiled, and stood up:

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Get used to your new position first. The announcement of your promotion to the first team will be released later. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the training room, leaving Li Hu alone in the first team's training room, in the spot that used to belong to Da Huang.

Li Hu touched the keyboard, then the mouse, and then opened the Korean server client, logging into the super account Guo Hao had given him.

There are still six hours until the premiere tonight, so I can practice a few rounds first.

He opened the ranked match and was about to enter the queue when he suddenly remembered something, picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Qingtian.

"Brother Qingtian, come to the training room, elbow."

The other end replied instantly: "Coming, coming!"

Ten minutes later, Qing Tian pushed open the door and saw that Li Hu had already started a ranked match, so she pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, ready to observe and learn.

"Tiger, what are you doing this time?"

"Fiora".

"Fiora? Your Fiora proficiency isn't just average, is it?"

"That's why you need to practice, Sunny Brother."

Li Hu didn't turn his head, his tone indifferent: "If your hero skills aren't up to par, you'll get whipped around like a spinning top."

sunny:"……"

Three hours later, Qing Tian was dragged to the solo camera position by Li Hu for the third time, and she was almost exhausted.

"Tiger, didn't you say you'd teach me how to play Darius?"

"How did it turn into me practicing Fiora with you?!"

"Teaching you is teaching, practicing with the Sword Maiden is training; they don't conflict."

"Then why do you keep making me pick Fiora to play against you?"

"Because your Fiora is stronger, she can hit my spinning top."

Did I hit you?!

"I'm the one who got hit six times by you!"

"That's because you weren't in good form. You'll definitely beat me next time if you adjust your mindset."

"That's what you just said!"

"And then you changed the skin and kept hitting my spinning top in the next round!"

"This skin feels good."

"..."

Looking at Qing Tian's round face, which was practically screaming "I don't believe you!", Li Hu finally had a moment of conscience for a mere 0.3 seconds.

I've decided to add an extra serving of Longjiang pork trotters to his pork trotter rice tonight.
