Chapter 260 Unexpected Joining (Part )
Since everyone, including Li Xuanjun who had a playing time conflict, had no objection to trying out Ke Changyu, the subsequent tryout work would be a natural thing to do.

So that night, Ke Changyu came to the Blue Rain team's training base with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Um...hello everyone, I'm 957 from the Youth Training Camp."

As expected of someone who just finished college before turning out to play professionally, although he was a little nervous as a newcomer, it was obvious that Ke Changyu's way of speaking and doing things was a level higher than those 17 or 18-year-old youngsters.

His attitude was correct and his behavior was appropriate, there was nothing wrong with him, and everyone in Blue Rain nodded secretly.

This is the right step.

In the summer season, the new talent system and the new vision system are destined to make Blue Rain a more extreme operational team.

In such circumstances, discipline becomes of paramount importance.

If they really got a rebellious genius, it might have an impact on Blue Rain's overall layout.

Ke Changyu is a good person.

While everyone was looking at Ke Changyu, Ke Changyu was also secretly observing them.

Long before he entered the youth training camp, his roommate had described to him in a half-exaggerated way how the veterans bullied the rookies in these competitive events.

For example, newcomers usually have to carry backpacks for the elderly, and are responsible for buying water and ordering takeout for the entire team every day, and so on.

I don't know where this rumor came from.

Seeing that no one, including Li Xuanjun who was taking turns with him, had much resistance or arrogance in their expressions, he felt a little relieved.

It seems that my roommate was just overthinking it.

"Hello, hello, welcome, welcome." Gangzi, who is the second to last in terms of seniority in the team, has become the team's social butterfly with his natural social phobia.

Seeing the newcomer coming, he walked up to him and patted his shoulder in a mature manner.

As early as the last time Chu Yunxiu joined the team before his identity was exposed, Gangzi wanted to show his demeanor as a senior in this way.

This time, my dream came true with Ke Changyu.

"Hello, God K, please take care of me." Although Xie Jian in front of him looked unruly, Ke Changyu obviously did not have any intention of looking down on him.

The LPL top four bottom lane is currently the best four-protect-one tactical core point in the entire league and deserves such a face.

This was the first time that Gangzi was called "K God" offline by someone who wasn't joking, and he immediately became so beautiful that he was bubbling:

"Okay, okay, I'll protect you from now on brother!"

"Okay, stop protecting others and take care of yourself first." Chu Yunxiu said to him in a sarcastic tone, and when she looked at Ke Changyu, her expression became much softer.

"Hello, Captain Chu!" Ke Changyu asked quickly.
"Hello, Changyu, welcome to the Blue Rain Team 1 tryout." Chu Yunxiu smiled.

"Wenzhou and the coach have gone to contact other teams. There will be a training match for your tryout soon. Take a break and prepare yourself!"

Since the tryout of Ke Changyu was a spur of the moment decision, training matches are still being arranged.

"Okay!" Ke Changyu nodded repeatedly.

For him, suddenly getting the opportunity to try out for a first team was somewhat of a dream.

After all, in his previous opinion, for an older youth player like himself who was almost past his peak as a professional player, it was already lucky to be able to play in the newly formed second team.

As a result, I flew straight into the sky and caught up with a team. It was really unreal.

During the preparation, he looked around and finally approached Li Xuanjun, who looked the most honest. "Senior Xuanjun, can you tell me why the club wants me to try out for the first team?"

Li Xuanjun was not as thick-skinned as Gangzi. When he heard a 20-something-year-old brother calling a 17-year-old like him "senior", he blushed for a moment and waved his hands repeatedly: "Just call me Xiaoqiang."

Although the current environment makes it impossible for Li Xuanjun to play Lucian in the top lane, he still loves this nickname of his.

After Ke Changyu expressed his doubts, Li Xuanjun looked at this guy who knew nothing about his future fate, and for a moment he actually felt a little sympathy for him.

Poor kid, he had to compete with those two monsters in the top lane without even playing a proper game.

However, when Li Xuanjun told Ke Changyu that he might have to take on the task of holding off Tang Rou and Sun Zheping in the summer season, although Ke Changyu's face changed slightly, he was not frightened as Li Xuanjun expected.

He just nodded slightly: "I understand. Although I don't know if I can meet the team's expectations, I will do my best."

Obviously, Ke Changyu, who had never faced the two men head-on, did not have a clear understanding of the horror of the two lunatics.

I just know that they are the representatives of offensive top laners.

Seeing Ke Changyu's fearless appearance, the stunned Li Xuanjun could only mourn for this good brother in his heart:

"I hope he won't be beaten to tears by Roushen later..."

……

But after a while——

"GG!" As Xingxin took the lead in typing on the public screen, ten people from both sides quit the game one after another.

This is a common practice in training matches, not fighting to the end to avoid leaving any traces.

Li Xuanjun, who was watching the fight from the side, was completely dumbfounded.

Indeed, the fledgling Ke Changyu was badly suppressed by Tang Rou's usual fierce style.

But in the end, Blue Rain won the game.

A small room next to the training room.

"What do you think?" The manager was a little unsure at this time and could only ask Fang Shijing.

Although they won the game, 957's miserable condition was not much better than that of the Little Holy Spear.

The manager, who didn't know much about the game, wasn't sure if 957 was what Blue Rain needed.

But Fang Shijing's eyes lit up at this time: "Good, great!"

He saw the entire game between the two top laners.

Objectively speaking, 957's pure laning ability is indeed much worse than Tang Rou's, and he was badly suppressed in the matchup.

But although he is still unable to exchange pieces with Tang Rou or restrict her, he can really do it if he just wants to withstand Tang Rou's offensive!
In this training match, 957's performance was a model of a blue-collar top laner.

Strong discipline, solid foundation, and maximum stress resistance.

You know, strictly speaking, the one 957 was facing was not Tang Rou, but the combination of Tang Rou and Baozi.

Baozi, who has completely found a way to win the game in the spring season, helps out more frequently than he clears the jungle.

But under such great pressure, 957 was still able to maintain its position on the road without being completely penetrated.
In the current league, this is almost a result that only Zhao Yang can achieve.

On this basis, he can even give economic benefits to other lanes and create value in team battles.

In addition, he also has the best support speed and enthusiasm among the top laners, which are exactly the qualities that Blue Rain, which focuses on operations, needs most.

With an unstoppable rhythm from the jungler and support, and two capable core players in the mid and bottom lanes, they don't need to make any breakthroughs in the top lane, but they do need the top laner to execute the tactics meticulously.

It was precisely because of this unity that Blue Rain was able to gain a slight advantage in this training match, and eventually took the initiative bit by bit. "He's the one we need the most!" Fang Shijing clapped his hands fiercely.

In the spring version, the weight of the top lane has slightly decreased. Although due to the early release of the first blood tower mechanism and the newly released Rift Herald, it is impossible to return to the era of the big tree.

But at least the heavy-armored warriors that previously filled the game have been weakened, so it is not so difficult to stay in the top lane.

Coupled with the changes to the vision mechanism, with better vision control, it will not be so easy for a jungler like Baozi to catch the line.

In the summer season, 957, who can withstand pressure, provide support, fight in team battles, and carry the team alone, may really be able to hold up the situation for Blue Rain in the top lane.

This is a small gun that is still very immature and its playing style is not that blue-collar, so it still has some shortcomings.

Without caring about anything else, Fang Shijing strode to the training room, just in time to see the Blue Rain team surrounding Ke Changyu and praising him.

After experiencing the shadow of an offseason, Blue Rain, which had always had doubts about the top lane, finally got an important piece of the puzzle.

Among them, the Holy Spear was the most excited.

The new guy is so awesome? Doesn't that mean I don't have to face those two monsters?
He really lost some confidence after being beaten by those two in the spring season.

Seeing Fang Shijing coming, Yu Wenzhou turned around and looked at him during a break in his speech. They both smiled and nodded at the same time.

As for Ke Changyu himself, he was still somewhat excited and at a loss.

Am I, a weirdo who entered youth training and became a professional professional right after graduating from university, really going to step onto the stage of the top league?

At the beginning, in order to play professionally, he signed a one-year gambling agreement with his parents, despite their strong opposition, and only then did he get his family to agree.

Compared to other e-sports players, Ke Changyu is a much more realistic person.

Although he told others that he graduated from university, the school he attended was just a junior college after all.

If we proceed step by step, the future is almost predictable.

While in college, he discovered his talent in games, especially the newly released League of Legends, and saw playing professionally as his only chance to change his destiny.

It is precisely because of such realistic considerations that he works much harder than those kids in the youth training camp who work out of passion and "love to play games"
The most rank games, the most self-disciplined training habits.

Nowadays, God rewards hard work.

……

So, when the players on the Glory side were still testing Naraka: Bladepoint, Blue Rain suddenly announced that 957 would join the team.

Compared to the heavyweight transfers one after another this offseason, the name 957 seems so unfamiliar.

However, when Blue Rain fans and people who like to have fun found out that this was a weirdo who just graduated from the youth training camp at the age of 22, they suddenly couldn't hold back.

"No, can you still be called a rookie at the age of 22? How do you think you can play professionally after graduating from college?"

"That's not the case. The current professional conditions are no better than before. There are many people in their twenties, thirties, and twenties who are still fighting in the professional arena. It's not too late to enter the field at the age of 22!"

"Indeed, I went to check it out. He is at least fourth in the national server, so he is still of some quality. I guess he will be a substitute for Saint Spear Brother, which is not bad. I think we can look forward to it."

Although this strange older rookie has sparked a discussion among fans, the focus of the discussion is obviously not on himself, but on the phenomenon of longer lifespans of professional players that he reflects.

Unlike the previous LPL where a group of old players were left to do nothing because of a lack of successors, the LPL, with the full support of Teng Hai, has truly achieved the extension of the players' careers.

Pei Yunteng is the one who knows best the importance of medical and management teams to the career of professional players, so as early as the establishment of LPL, he established a strict review system for these aspects.

He doesn't want the same tragedies as theshy or Gangzi in his previous lives to happen again in this LPL.

All clubs, whether management or medical teams, need to be reviewed by the league before they can take up their posts.

A pure beast like Su Xiaoluo in his previous life will never be able to get a job in the e-sports industry in this life.

The competition system and match time are also arranged with great caution to ensure reasonable intensity.

It is this kind of full protection for the players that has achieved very good results.

Throughout the entire spring season, even at the most tense moments of the competition, there was not a single case of players withdrawing from the competition due to injury.

And those veterans whose careers are almost coming to an end are still in good competitive form.

In the glory era, players aged 22 or 23 were already considered veterans and could consider retiring.

But in the current LPL, 27-year-old Ye Xiu, 26-year-old Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping, and 25-year-old Zhao Yang, all show no signs of decline.

Huang Shaotian, Su Mucheng, Yu Wenzhou, Chu Yunxiu and others, who are all 24 years old, are at their peak and in their prime.

Many viewers lamented that, without realizing it, the ecology of professional players has quietly undergone such a huge change.

As for 957 himself, he did not receive much attention.

After all, a rookie who came from the youth training system has not made any achievements in the LSPL except for his decent rank results, so there is really no need to pay too much attention to him.

But nothing is absolute, and some people are very concerned about this transfer.

For example, Xingxin held a small meeting the night after the training match to discuss how to deal with Blue Rain, which seemed to have completed the puzzle pieces.

Another example……

……

Great country.

"957...huh? It's the top laner I met on the Chinese server."

Li Xianghe muttered as he looked at the announcement from Blue Rain on his phone.

"That person is very strong, and his style fits in very well with the current Blue Rain. They will be even more formidable in the summer season," Jin Hekui said softly from the side.

As old teammates left the team one after another, the Mapo Duo naturally became the leaders of SKT.

Even though neither of them has the bad habit of bullying like the Koreans, the new teammates are still respectful to them.

Their strength, especially Lee Sang-hyeok's, is almost unique in the current chaotic LCK.

However, these two guys are not very interested in becoming the king of the Korean server.

The two of them were attracted by the neighboring LPL early on, and MSI was severely punished by Fanhua. They prefer to go to the national server despite the delay.

There are more masters, more advanced tactical ideas, and a better competitive environment.

At least you don’t have to worry about your teammates taking advantage of your seniority when choosing heroes.

The strong teams in LPL may not know that among their league players in other regions, there are two such loyal fans.

Although they are also planning to seize power and usurp the throne.

Just as the two were discussing the transfer news from LPL, SKT's manager suddenly strode towards Lee Sang-hyeok with a smile on his face.

The first sentence he said made Li Xianghe stunned:
"Xiang Hyuk, do you know more about China's LPL division?"

　The first update, there should be more soon.
