Chapter 304 Drag them all into the water!

"Let's fight Fanhua next time..."

LGM e-sports club, starting midfielder Hai Chao looked at the schedule just handed over by the coach and said thoughtfully.

"What's the difference? We're all just delivering food anyway." AD player Young Master said weakly.

"Rather than researching how to beat Fanhua, it's better to research how to beat the tough guys in the LSPL. It's hard to say whether we can guarantee our place at the top with our current strength."

This sentence blocked Hai Chao's next words in his throat, and he couldn't help feeling a little dejected.

Yes, no matter when we fight Fanhua, it has nothing to do with them in essence.

Because they are just a relegation team, that's all.

Thinking back to when he had just led the team to promotion to the LPL and then looking at himself now, Hai Chao just wanted to sigh.

Hai Chao, a midfielder, is a member of the former Positive Family (PF), now the Lao Gan Ma (LGM) e-sports club.

In the summer season, the LGM League ranked 11th and second from the bottom, and was a team in the relegation zone.

In fact, their story is not much different from that of other young people pursuing their e-sports dreams, and may even be slightly better.

A few teenagers who love e-sports saw that League of Legends was going to form a professional league. They thought they were pretty good at playing in the rankings, so they formed a team and decided to give it a try.

As we all know, there are at least three levels of difficulty between liking to play games and being able to become an e-sports player.

More than 99% of the internet-addicted teenagers who wanted to achieve something in e-sports with similar mentality failed in the online qualifying stage.

Among the remaining ones, 80% were directly eliminated or fell into the secondary league.

But Haichao is different from his brothers, they are one of the very few teams that have advanced into the LPL without the background of a professional club or the guidance of former professional players.

Relying on the outstanding personal strength of mid laner Haichao and jungler Meteor, as well as three other brothers who have basically reached professional level, they achieved this much-anticipated achievement.

This incident also caused some discussion on the Internet at that time.

After all, starting from an ordinary place, he and his good brothers went through all the ups and downs, grew up all the way, and finally overcame all obstacles and stepped onto the highest stage.

This is almost the ideal self in the dreams of all internet-addicted teenagers.

Even Haichao and his friends themselves felt that they might have really gotten the legendary protagonist script.

But just when the young people were eager to try and make a final effort to create another glory,
The cruel reality finally caught up with them and slapped them hard in the face.

To be honest, Haichao and Meteor’s talents can indeed be said to be top-notch.

As true rookies who have not even received much professional training, they are all able to perform at the LPL quasi-first-tier level in their respective positions.

Therefore, PF at that time was able to fight back and forth with strong teams of the Big Three in the early stages.

However, as a truly grassroots team, their discipline, tactical skills and awareness are far behind other teams.

So much so that as soon as the fifteen minutes were up, the whole team started playing snake.

Sometimes the severity of the attacks is so outrageous that the audience even suspects that these guys are fixing the game.

The authorities were forced to repeatedly emphasize that LPL has extremely strict monitoring on the fairness of the competition, and there is no possibility of match-fixing and gambling under the official nose.

However, despite various problems, the future of PF team is still very bright.

The team ranked eighth overall in the spring season. Although it did not make the playoffs, it was still acceptable.

Considering that they are a purely grassroots team, as long as they can make some money during the off-season and strengthen their training team and personnel, they may be able to make it to the playoffs in the summer season.

Hai Chao himself thinks so too. In his opinion, among the six midfielders in the playoffs, he has the confidence to play with at least two of them.

However, sometimes, the helplessness of reality far exceeds the imagination of passionate young people.

The first is that during the off-season investment promotion phase, the investment intentions received by the Optimistic Family did not meet expectations.

The reason behind this is so ridiculous that everyone was dumbfounded after knowing it:

appearance.

Many investors believe that the current star player of the Optimistic Family, Hai Chao, looks a bit...ordinary, and therefore they are not that enthusiastic about investing in him.

Actually, what he said is not wrong. Hai Chao is slightly fat, has a big face, squinty eyes and a buzz cut. He is indeed not handsome at all.

But shouldn't e-sports be about strength? Why do people care about the appearance of the players?
It’s all because of the glory next door.

To be honest, the Glory Professional League, to some extent, really brings together the right time, place and people.

Otherwise, there would be no reason to get such a large number of high-quality players who are skilled, moral, good-looking and capable of fighting.

And after they were divided into leagues of various games, a large number of leagues including LPL have been greatly improved, at least in terms of the eye-catching level of the players.

To the extent that both sponsors and audiences have become somewhat picky about their tastes.

So people like Hai Chao, who have average or even below average looks, simply have an extra weakness compared to others for no reason.

Haichao himself couldn't understand it. He came here to play e-sports and achieve results, so why in the end, he still had to judge by appearance?

But the sponsors thought this way, so he, as a player, had no room to struggle.

Fortunately, there are still sponsors who don't mind his face.

Lao Gan Ma likes Hai Chao’s image very much. The boy looks fair, chubby and cute, and it is obvious that he is a good eater.

So, while other clubs were sponsored and titled by sports brands, peripheral brands, or even car brands, the Optimistic Family was inexplicably given the name of Lao Gan Ma.

No matter what, having money is a good thing, so let’s recruit some players.

So the question is, where to get it?

LGM has no shortage of talented youngsters. Their current five players are typical talented youngsters who are good in terms of operation and reaction.

What they need is experience, tactics and command.

But these things can't be bought with money.

So after the off-season, the Optimistic Family, which changed its name to LGM, established a competition and training group, but it can only be said that it was established.

In terms of tactics and ability, there is still a long way to go, and he is not much better than the coaches who specialize in takeout at Qidian.

Unfortunately, the summer season is a standard operational version.

LGM had a hard time playing in the spring season, which was dominated by recklessness and teamfighting, not to mention this era where the focus is on operations and vision, and games often last more than 40 minutes.

So, since the start of the summer season, LGM, which originally had a promising future, has been on a downward spiral.

The more you lose, the less confident you become, the more distorted your operations become, the lower your morale becomes, and the more you lose.

In a vicious cycle, the team has reached eleventh place before the first round is over, and has secured a place in the relegation match.

The players' morale was so low that they no longer cared which opponent they would play against next.

No matter who you fight, you will lose, lose, lose.

The next game will be against Fanhua. There is no need to think about it, they are not in the same world as LGM.

Just keep losing. If things really don’t work out, just go back to the LSPL. Anyway, you’ve already been in the LPL for a season, so you’re not losing out anyway.

Thinking of this, Hai Chao no longer cared too much about tomorrow's schedule. He casually threw the schedule notice aside and prepared to continue playing the ranking game.

Just make do with it, you can retire in the future

After opening the game, Hai Chao was originally planning to pull the jungler to duo row, but he found that his own jungler was looking at his phone with an ugly expression.

Hai Chao was stunned, then laughed and said, "What's wrong? Did you get the king's head and break the defense again?"

In LGM, Guohao, the jungler who plays a leading role together with Haichao, has another more important identity - a former member of the Chinese table tennis quasi-national team.

He was the first in the provincial team back then, and with more practice he might even have a chance to become a national player.

As a result, in a national youth competition, he was carried away in the top eight, and his Taoism was somewhat broken. In addition, he was also very talented in e-sports, so he simply switched to e-sports and became the current LPL jungler. The guy he lost to in the top eight is now ranked first in the world, and he was the only player in that youth competition who won a small game from that guy.

To round it off, if he could persist and play like this in front of the world's number one, he might be a world-class table tennis player now.

I can only say that fate is indeed mysterious.

Therefore, Guohao has always disliked his lifelong enemy, so much so that he tends to break down when he sees information related to him.

It has become a daily joke for the LGM team members.

But today, Guohao slowly shook his head: "It has nothing to do with him."

He picked up the phone and waved it in front of Haichao, who discovered that it was an analysis of the new game, Naraka: Bladepoint, and the current high-ranking players.

The same auxiliary program of Eternal Tribulation was also running on Guohao's computer at this time.

"You're not planning on going to Yongjie to play professionally, are you? Do you have to be so perverted?" Hai Chao thought of an outrageous possibility and was dumbfounded for a moment.

Being able to transition from a traditional sport like table tennis to League of Legends e-sports is a one-in-a-million talent.

If he could be reincarnated into eternal calamity again, Hai Chao would start to doubt whether he and Guo Hao were the same species.

Seeing that Hai Chao was indeed thinking the wrong thing, Guo Hao shook his head helplessly: "What are you thinking? I'll show you the ID of the person being analyzed now."

"...Destroying people tirelessly? Who is this?" Hai Chao read out the ID word by word, not understanding the deeper meaning behind it.

Guohao was not in a hurry. He clicked twice on the official applet of Eternal Tribulation and pulled up a battle record chart.

"This guy has been playing duos at a high intensity for a while, and his partner is Xiye, the mid laner of Fanhua."

Since Xiye registered his account in the live broadcast room, his identity could not be concealed.

It’s just that he never plays in the live broadcast room, and he doesn’t play solo, and he doesn’t play duo as much as Mo Fan, so his reputation is far less famous than Mo Fan.

"Being able to play in a high-intensity duo with Xiye, his identity must be extraordinary."

"I checked. The jungler in Fanhua is the bandit in Pick Up Waste. He used to play Glory. His ID is Destroying the People. They are the mid and jungle in the duo game of Eternal Tribulation."

Guohao's face was shining with determination, and it was obvious that he had checked the information very seriously.

"Oh my god, in the top 50 in solo queue, what an amazing strength." AD Master heard the conversation between the two, came over to take a look, and couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

Being able to reach the top in two completely different games is a talent that even these talented youngsters envy.

"To reach this level, it takes not only talent but also extremely high-intensity investment." Guohao shook his head.

After being partners for more than half a season, Hai Chao was very keenly aware of Guo Hao's hidden meaning: "You mean..."

"They have spent so much time and energy fighting against Eternal Tribulation, their current condition must have declined significantly!"

"We can consider using them as a breakthrough point!" At this point, a glimmer of fire finally burned in Guohao's eyes.

After the words fell, there was silence, and everyone's frozen gaze was filled with disbelief.

Guohao is actually studying how to defeat the world champion!

"Brother Hao, no matter what, they are the world champions, and we are just a relegation team. Even if our form declines, it is not our turn to be overturned."

Speaking of such a hot topic, the young master could hardly speak clearly and asked cautiously.

Even if the world champion fails, he is still the world champion.

Is it their turn as little shrimps to dream about it?
"What's wrong with the world champion? Isn't he playing in the same league as us? World champions are also human beings. What is there to be afraid of?" Guohao glanced at him.

"It's not like we haven't fought Mo Fan and Xiye before. They are a little stronger than Hai Chao and I, but they are not to the extent that we can't beat them at all."

"Now the condition is very bad, it won't be difficult to be a breakthrough point." Guo Hao's words showed no awe for the new champion.

This guy really played against the world champion and won a small game.

"And, guys, even if we fail, what do we have to lose?"

They are already at the bottom of the LPL and have nothing left to lose.

If that’s the case, then why be afraid to try?

Seeing that his brothers were all lost in thought, Guohao glanced at his mobile phone, and the screen had already cut to Fanhua's starting lineup for tomorrow's game.

The high-spirited faces of Fanhua Zhongye and the other person on the list slowly overlapped with the image of another person in Guohao's eyes.

The fire in his eyes grew stronger.

Whether it was that person or the flourishing Nakano, they both possessed rich resources that Guo Hao had always dreamed of but never had.

Top-notch training, top-notch connections, top-notch talent...

As long as you are willing to put in the effort and devote all your energy, it will be more than enough to achieve results that Guohao will never be able to achieve in his lifetime.

Yet they all chose to squander their talents.

Practice blocking the ball, playing badly, playing forever...

What a luxury.

Guohao became angry when he thought of this.

Those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from floods will die of floods. The resources that he will never have the chance to obtain in his lifetime are worthless to others, who can just throw them away at will.

As long as he has the chance, he will make these people pay the price.

In the silence, somehow, everyone's breathing became heavier.

After the initial doubts and fears faded away, what followed was the excitement about super-trickster plans such as overthrowing the powerful and knocking over the world champion.

Indeed, we lost everything, so why should we be afraid of the world champions?

"Let's do it!" Hai Chao slammed the table and took the lead in expressing his support.

He has been playing this summer season with a lot of anger in his heart.

We are all young geniuses, why should we be afraid of Xiye?
When he was in good shape during the spring season, he could fight back and forth with him on the laning side. Now he is probably in poor shape, so why can't we win?

“No… then how can I withstand the scene of blooming flowers and blood…” The young master had a sad face.

Since the mid and jungle are the breakthrough points, the support must roam frequently, leaving him alone to face the most terrifying bottom lane combination in the world.

This is not a job for humans...

"That's fine, then you guys should just go to the bottom lane as normal?" Guohao didn't force it.

"How can that be possible?" The young master yelled, stood up and patted his chest to express his opinion: "Hit the champion, how can I not come? It's just to get beaten!"

"No matter how good Zhang Jiale is, I don't believe he can take down my second tower in ten minutes!" He said the most cowardly words in the most arrogant tone.

After Zhong stepped down, the two brothers Shang and Fu also expressed their willingness to do something big with their brothers.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Even if they can win a small game against Fanhua, it will definitely be the highlight of their career.

Even if they go to play in LSPL later, they will have enough capital to brag about themselves.

"In that case." Seeing that the army's morale was good, Guohao smiled and nodded, his eyes sharp.

"Let's drag them all into the water!"

　The second update will be here soon, don’t worry.
