NFBE Chapter 6 Breaking the news
Chapter 6 Breaking the news
While everyone on Instagram was still celebrating at the dinner table, the news had already spread online.
First, several bloggers connected to the LPL circle posted updates, using relatively restrained language and not saying a single unnecessary word, as if they had agreed on a unified message beforehand. However, the general meaning was that IG would use a new AD carry and would refuse to sign GALA.
But the comments section exploded.
"What does this mean? It's all in Chinese, I just can't understand it."
"How high must their youth training talent be to be able to beat GALA?"
"Although GALA is a terrible top-eight team, they're not some youth training institution that you can fool."
The comment below was quickly voted the most and pinned to the top.
"Everyone's watching Kenzhu's livestream, he's become a sensation."
At this moment, Kenzhu, a famous food delivery coach, was eating sunflower seeds and watching a large number of viewers flood into the live stream. However, he had a helpless expression on his face that said, "I don't want to say it, but you forced me to."
"You're all new here, right? Fine, I'll say it again. I didn't want to say it, but I'm just really angry."
The chat immediately started to comfort them, saying, "Hello, streamer, tell us what's wrong?"
He cleared his throat. "Actually, it was just Ga Zi S8, who played a training match against five youth trainees."
Various speculations instantly flooded the live chat.
"They won't get wrecked by the youth training program, will they?"
"It's impossible that he didn't lose, but Ga Zi's performance was indeed mediocre."
Kenzhu paused for a moment, "But the one who took Ga Zi's job was indeed the youth training student who was his opponent."
"Then he got stabbed thirty times, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is, do you know what that newbie was playing?"
Immediately, the live chat was filled with various speculations about the hero Mu Chun used in the training match.
"No, that's not it, the newbie used the Tsar."
The live chat was instantly filled with question marks.
"That's abstract, right? There's something even more abstract. That newbie was completely ignored by IG. He was playing like a solo player from start to finish, which is why he was 30 CS ahead of GALA."
Although his professional skills and understanding of games are average, he still knows a little bit about the basics.
Moreover, GALA was once one of his players, bringing him the title of MSI champion coach.
In his mind, no matter how average GALA's laning phase was, it was impossible for him to be out-farmed by a rookie, especially one playing a champion like Azir.
The only explanation is that the people at IG didn't care about Mu Chun. As for why they didn't care, if they knew, they wouldn't have revealed it on live stream.
"And the most abstract thing is that the coach said a few words to the newcomer after the game, and then Daeny insisted on signing him."
"And I heard that the newcomer doesn't know any AD champions at all."
He ate sunflower seeds and said, "It's outrageous. A player like this deserves a coach like this. I really feel sorry for Ga Zi. We spent so much time waiting for news, and then they didn't want him."
However, the viewers in the live stream had already seen through the clues. Kenzhu's revelation was true, and his use of the opportunity to satirize Daeny was also true. As for not knowing AD champions, that was just an exaggeration. What ADC doesn't know how to play AD champions?
After all, since Daeny came to the LPL, he has quickly raised the bar for coaches in all LPL teams thanks to his professional skills and understanding of the game.
As a coach who only knows how to order takeout and give athletes pep talks, he naturally can't find a job. Now that he has found an opportunity to satirize the culprit, he certainly won't let it go.
"Let's go, let's go. Just know what happened."
"It's a good thing that LPL has new players, let's withdraw."
Rational viewers had already left the live stream, but after a few groups left, they immediately switched to IG's latest post on social media.
However, they discovered that Instagram had already disabled the comments section.
……
"Cheers!"
The wine glasses clinked on the table, and Manager Wang joined the meal. He looked at Mu Chun solemnly and said, "Mu Chun, you're going to have a tough time coming up. Remember to be patient for a while."
"After registering your social media accounts, don't include the IG prefix yet. Whether you add it on the day of the official announcement or not doesn't matter. And remember to turn off private messages."
He had already accepted the fact that the formation of the All-Star Class had failed. On second thought, Mu Chun's appearance was not bad either. He was clean-cut and a little handsome, and had the unique confidence of a young man. He looked like a new JackeyLove.
The new marketing plan is still being prepared with everyone working overtime. What he needs to do now is to protect the players as much as possible in the early stages.
"Yes, Manager Wang." Mu Chun nodded in agreement, naturally understanding what Manager Wang meant.
He knew that IG's comment section was closed, and closing the comment section to prevent his things from being discussed was a basic protective measure.
Those fans are indeed terrifying, but the players and teams cannot effectively control them, largely because most of them are online trolls and offline merchandise sellers.
Nobody turns down money.
Even though they might not even have a client, they really spend money and support the players.
"Okay, you guys keep eating. I'll go back and discuss Muchun's marketing plan with them." With that, Manager Wang downed his drink in one gulp.
"Oh, right, Mu Chun, remember to move to the new dormitory after you go back. It's already packed for you," Manager Wang instructed before leaving.
"I understand, Manager Wang."
……
The IG team returned to their base reeking of alcohol.
"Ah..." Mu Chun lay on the soft bed in the dormitory and let out a comfortable moan.
Unlike the youth training and second team's shared dormitories, IG provides each first team player with a separate dormitory.
The smell of alcohol on him had mostly dissipated by the time he returned and was packing his luggage.
A team, and the starting lineup at that, with teammates who are all four-time world champions.
This kind of setup is something you'd never expect to see on a newcomer like him.
But reality seems to be just that absurd.
The next day, in the training room.
"Fight for this minion," Meiko's voice rang out, tinged with despair.
Mu Chun clicked her tongue lightly, "Hey, don't put pressure on me."
Daeny and Jiejie were watching Mu Chun's screen behind him.
Mu Chun, playing Kai'Sa, and Meiko, playing Nautilus, were farming minions in the bottom lane.
The opponents are TheShy and Rookie.
Mu Chun's Kai'Sa at this moment was completely different from the Tsar she played yesterday.
He would suddenly stop every time he used a basic attack, and when he walked, he even seemed to have a feeling that he couldn't find the mouse.
The crowd looked on in bewilderment.
No, you mean you really don't know how? I thought you were just bad at the game.
On the screen, a low-health backline minion was taken down by Mu Chun with a Void Strike.
Meiko immediately spoke up, "Wait, are you going to use a skill to heal this too?"
Mu Chun gave an embarrassed smile, "I was just afraid of getting my hand stuck again."
Daeny coughed twice. "Let's try a different hero. We can't keep doing this with every single one."
After changing the hero.
"You're using skills on this too?"
"Following the output, I'm truly impressed."
"Ugh, I can't land any attacks, how am I supposed to deal damage?!"
For several days in a row, the heroes were constantly changed, but the same scene repeated itself every day.
Daeny watched helplessly as Mu Chun and Meiko were brutally beaten by TheShy and Rookie.
Write it down in your notebook.
Fundamentals have nothing to do with heroes; simply playing AD carries won't suffice.
The only ones worth watching are poke-type heroes, who hide in the back and act as cannon fodder.
