POG and his group were sitting in a well-known and expensive barbecue restaurant.

Gu Yueshuang looked at the prices on the menu and then thought about the glittering golden sign outside the door. She put down the menu and asked, "Are you poor?"

Xu Qing began to play the victim: "You may not believe this, but this meal is equivalent to our food expenses for a month."

Gu Yueshuang: "Then why do you have to come here?"

Gu Yang took the menu and ordered the dishes openly: "Of course it's because Xiaolin is treating us."

Gu Yueshuang: "..."

I always feel like something is wrong.

Gu Yang: "The most expensive dishes are ready. What else do you want to eat?"

Gu Yueshuang suddenly began to feel a little guilty.

How could a woman like her let a man treat her?

But if she offered to treat them, wouldn't that prove she's on a pirate ship? Even the one who voluntarily paid the membership fee is a fool with a lot of money and a landowner.

Seeing her hesitation, Lin Yanqiu said, "Don't be so reserved, just order whatever you want."

Xu Qing echoed: "Yes, Xiaoqiu is rich and has good looks."

——This is Lin Yanqiu’s family’s store. It’s actually economical for them to eat here.

Gu Yueshuang glanced at the delicate and tender Lin Yanqiu and found that he had no intention of refutation.

A question mark slowly appeared above her head. She couldn't believe that Lin Yanqiu, at such a young age, actually made a living by selling sex!

People like this who are generous and good at showing off their connections but still complain about being poor are most likely being kept by someone!

Gu Yueshuang immediately showed great respect for Lin Yanqiu. He pursued his e-sports dream during the day and had to deal with financial sponsors at night. He was simply a master of time management and should be a role model for us.

But it was hard to say such things directly. She looked at Gu Yang, who was driving a luxury car and living in a mansion but still complaining about being poor, and asked, "Are you leaving the house with nothing?"

Gu Yang: "...You're talking bullshit! I ran away from home to chase my dream for love!"

Gu Yueshuang understood everything and said "Oh" meaningfully, then added, "I see. I was kicked out."

Gu Yang: "...Can you still talk properly?!"

"Okay, okay, I won't expose your shortcomings." Gu Yueshuang stopped talking and turned serious. "We've ordered the dishes. Can you tell me the situation seriously?"

Lin Yanqiu ordered the dishes, handed the menu to the waiter, and said slowly, "To be honest, we really don't have the money to pay high salaries at the moment. The team provides food and accommodation for the time being, which is 50,000 yuan a month. Life is quite hard."

In the current professional market, 50,000 a month is indeed unimaginably low, and even young trainees earn more than that.

Gu Yang also became serious and straightened his back: "As long as your performance is good enough, you will immediately have a large and luxurious base. I will pay you according to your earnings. I will never skimp on this aspect."

Gu Yueshuang asked: "What is the standard for good grades?"

Gu Yang: "Playoffs."

There are currently 20 teams in the entire LPL, but only eight teams can enter the playoffs.

In other words, the standard for good grades is to reach the upper middle level.

She was unsure of the level of her teammates, nor was she sure if she could cooperate with this group of people.

She got straight to the point: "Can we arrange a training match? Let's try a couple of matches later?"

Xu Qing was delighted: "This must be possible! Even if Xiaoqiu has to sell her face, it must be possible!"

Gu Yueshuang glanced at Lin Yanqiu meaningfully——

He really is a prostitute!

Halfway through the meal, Gu Yueshuang wanted to use the excuse of going to the bathroom to quietly settle the bill. Although she had lived in this world for more than ten years, the idea of ​​women being superior to men in her previous life was ingrained in her bones.

As a woman, how can I let a man treat me just by showing off his face?

It's so embarrassing.

When Gu Yang saw her leaving, he made up an excuse and followed her out. He wanted to have a private chat with Gu Yueshuang.

Gu Yueshuang went to the front desk to pay the bill, but unfortunately found that she was a step late. She was thinking about how to make up for it later when she turned around and bumped into Gu Yang.

She wondered, "Are you afraid I'll run away?"

"No." Gu Yang waved his hand. "Just a few words?"

Gu Yueshuang nodded and followed him in a deserted direction.

Gu Yang asked quietly, "Do you want to resume your status as a female player? The officials must have known about it when you registered."

When Gu Yueshuang first started playing professionally, there weren't so many rules and everything was very sloppy. As long as people signed a contract and could play, that was enough. No one would deliberately check the identity information of a secondary league player.

But once she officially enters the LPL, she will be more exposed, and her registration information will pass through many people's hands. If she doesn't agree with the official to deliberately conceal it, it will basically be made public immediately.

This is definitely explosive news.

There are very few female players in professional competitions around the world.

But to be honest, Gu Yang didn't want her to be exposed too early.

When you are famous, you will be surrounded by gossip. When she has no achievements, gaining traffic too early will only do more harm than good.

Even if she achieves good results in the future, it will only be seen as a "gender bonus" rather than recognition of her ability.

In just that instant, Gu Yang thought about countless possible answers and future problems, and began to think about how to help his daughter solve the problem.

After all, the team is poor, and he is the only one besides the players, so he has to do everything by himself.

Gu Yueshuang said without hesitation: "Of course we can't expose it, otherwise what will happen if their innocence is ruined? A boy's innocence and reputation are very important."

Gu Yang: “……?”

He was stunned for a moment.

Although this sounds fine, why does it seem so inconsistent?

He thought it was because of his age and the generation gap between him and the kids, so he said, "It's okay if it's not exposed. I'll talk to the league before signing the contract."

As he spoke, he made all the arrangements for Gu Yueshuang clear: "We have a room on the top floor with a toilet and bathroom, and access to the balcony. You can live there directly. Although there is one underground, it is connected to the garage and is a bit unsafe."

Gu Yueshuang: "You have arranged everything for me clearly now?"

Gu Yang: "What else? These days, many professional players still live in double or quad rooms. How could someone like me, who knows you well, arrange a single room for you? So, how did you live before?"

"I rented a single room myself." Gu Yueshuang was silent for a while before adding softly, "Otherwise, how could I not know that they were colluding to play me?"

Gu Yang patted her shoulder as a way of comforting her and said, "Alright, let's go back to the private room. You don't have to feel bad about it. Xiao Lin is quite rich."

Gu Yueshuang said without hesitation: "No, this is a matter of dignity."

Gu Yang: “?”

After the meal, Gu Yueshuang and the four people were still polite to each other.

We briefly talked about the heroes we are good at and our personal style.

Gu Yang sent them back to the base, and the five of them went straight to the training area.

Gu Yueshuang installed the mouse and keyboard, put on her headphones without saying anything else and started the training match.

After all, POG is a new team. Five unknown players get together, and the only teams they can get an appointment with are those with lower rankings.

They made an appointment with the Panda team, also known as the Panda Team and the National Treasure Team. They were in the same boat last season. It is said that this season there has been a major change in members and they are also in the running-in period. They hit it off with POG and arranged a practice match.

The five people didn't care. They had very low requirements. For a new team that hadn't yet gotten used to each other, it was good enough to have a training match.

Neither side banned anyone in this training match, and the players were basically able to get the lineup they wanted.

Gu Yang looked at this lineup and hesitated, "This won't work..."

Gu Yueshuang was eager to try it out, her excitement visible to the naked eye: "We'll know if it works after we try it."

Gu Yang was extremely worried. He started to panic before the season even started.

It's not that he's too sensitive, but this lineup is...

Just looking at the lineup, there seems to be no problem, but if you look at the people playing, the problem becomes serious.

Top laner Rambo can be both tanky and damage-dealing. Zhou Yao said a real man would never wear tanky gear.

The jungle Lee Sin has high mobility and high burst, and can start a team fight with his physical body and never return;

Mid-lane Rock Sparrow, the squishy No. 1, supportive mid-lane, Gu Yueshuang chose her to fight all over the field;

AD policewoman, the fragile second, will not be mentioned;

The only one who can be in the front row is the Dawn Goddess Leona. As a support, she needs resources and has the lowest level in the field. Her main role is to start a team fight with control skills. Once her teammates cannot keep up with the output, they will most likely not come back.

This lineup is invincible in a favorable situation. One hit kills a small enemy, and the whole game is fine. But if the situation gets unfavorable...

Gu Yang sighed softly, the tolerance rate was too low.

Just as he was thinking this, the manager of the Panda team sent him a question mark.

Panda team manager: "You look down on us?"

Although Gu Yang also felt that this lineup was not very good, he had to show his strength to the outside world and quickly typed a reply: "My team members think this lineup can beat you."

The Panda team's manager is another question mark.

Who do you look down on?

The training match officially began. POG's base was extremely quiet, and only the sound of mouse and keyboard could be heard.

Gu Yang didn't dare to breathe and watched the game quietly, for fear of affecting them.

These five people seemed to be playing a RANK game. They were extremely quiet and there was no communication at all.

Ten minutes later, Gu Yueshuang single-handedly killed the Panda team's mid laner. A cute little expression lit up in the game, and outside the game, she shouted a fierce slogan: "Wave, wave, wave in the middle lane!"

(*A wave: refers to everyone working together to push the opponent's base and end the game in one fell swoop.)

Zhou Yao couldn't help but get angry: "You haven't even taken down the first tower yet, what the hell!!"

He was very anxious. Rambo's damage was good in the early and middle stages, but in the late stages, his range was short and he only had one ultimate skill to use. If he couldn't gain a big advantage in the early stages, he would fall behind.

Gu Yueshuang didn't get angry after being yelled at. Instead, she said cheerfully, "It'll only take ten minutes. I'll kill my way through the middle lane in no time."

Her Taliyah is a late-game hero. If she doesn't lose in the early game, she's making a profit. If she can kill a single enemy, it's a huge profit.

Qin Ye clicked on the Rift Herald signal, indicating that anyone in the middle and top positions should come to help him as the vanguard.

However, Gu Yueshuang did not have this awareness. She just wanted to gain a big advantage in the laning phase and kill the enemy directly.

Zhou Yao was in the middle of a 1v1 man-to-man battle on the top lane. The two top laners were entangled in a tangle, so naturally they had no time to take care of the vanguard.

Qin Ye was a little depressed, but he was alone and not sure about the positions of the opponent's jungler and support. It was not easy to take the vanguard by force, so he could only go to clear the jungle first.

Two minutes later, Gu Yueshuang asked, "Didn't you take the vanguard? If you put it in the middle lane, you can hit two towers!"

Qin Ye was a little depressed, as if he had just realized that everyone was connected to the microphone, and said, "One person can't handle it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he prompted the Panda team to kill the Rift Herald.

Fifteen minutes later, Panda team pushed from the middle lane to POG high ground.

Xu Qing teased: "Didn't you say we'd take the middle lane in a wave? How did we get swept away by a wave?"

Gu Yueshuang half-jokingly said, "How would I know that Shangye could raise two fathers?"

She had no intention of complaining and was still trying to make amends. She used her ultimate to build a stone wall, then slid down along the stone wall to block the line of troops in the middle lane, and then led the line of troops back by herself, leaving the Panda Team with no line of troops to push the tower, which extended POG's life.

At the same time, Xu Qing seized the opportunity, flashed forward, and used his ultimate to freeze the enemy AD.

Lin Yanqiu also reacted quickly and followed up with his attack, killing him in one fell swoop.

Qin Ye's Lee Sin had been roaming around looking for an opportunity. Taking advantage of the gap in their defense when everyone was paying attention to the AD, he appeared from the darkness and kicked the Panda Team's mid laner back, allowing Lin Yanqiu to get the kill.

The situation reversed instantly. Zhou Yao and Gu Yueshuang chased the fleeing top jungler with low health, while Qin Ye and Lin Yanqiu headed straight for the dragon pit. Their goal was very clear -

Kill the opponent's jungler on the spot, get the big dragon, and then you can push forward smoothly and end the game with a comeback.

The victory was already decided. Without even waiting to push the base, Team Panda typed “GG” (Good Game) on the public screen to indicate their surrender.

Everyone exits the game directly so that no record is left on the account and outsiders don’t know about their training match results.

This game lasted for more than half an hour, and Gu Yang was terrified the whole time.

He originally thought he was going to lose, but he actually managed to turn the game around.

Although he was still in shock, he pretended to be confident and sent a message to the Panda team manager: "What? I said we can win, right?"

The five team members were completely unaware of this and took off their headphones to discuss what had just happened.

After Xu Qing took off his headphones, he complained to Gu Yueshuang, "You're playing too much of a solo lane, aren't you? Even with Taliyah, you're constantly laning and barely helping other lanes. You need to radiate your mid lane advantage to the entire team."

(*Lane-staying: No roaming, only developing on your own lane.)

Gu Yueshuang said confidently, "No one's asking for help. Besides, I have such a huge advantage in the middle lane, can't you just group up with me and push forward?"

The others quickly retorted: "That won't work!"

Lin Yanqiu reasoned with her, "You were able to fight five alone in the Minor League because the players' skills are so uneven. LPL isn't like that; it's a team game. Look at the last wave. The opponent only had a split second of opportunity, and they seized it and turned the game around."

Gu Yang coughed lightly and tried to join the discussion: "If you ask me, you guys don't communicate enough. It feels like the five of you are playing as a RANK, relying entirely on individual ability."

To put it nicely, an all-squishy lineup is called a knife-edge licking blood, with high risks and high rewards.

To put it bluntly, there is no way out, no cooperation, no tolerance for error, and it's a mess.

The five people were silent for a second, as if they hadn't heard him at all, and continued their heated discussion.

Gu Yueshuang: "You can't expect me, a mid-lane player, to be a tanky and functional player, right? I'm definitely a violent, all-out damage dealer."

Zhou Yao wondered: "How did you play in a group before?"

Gu Yueshuang: "I'll fight whoever I see. As for rank, my previous PC had high latency when playing on the Korean server, and it would easily lag when there were a lot of people. I basically told my teammates not to come over. If I'm not developing well, I can fight three on my own. If I'm developing well, I can fight five on my own."

Everyone: “…”

No wonder Gu Yueshuang didn’t react at all when I sniped her for a month. Could it be that she has long been accustomed to fighting alone against many?

Gu Yang: “…”

Someone please listen to him! Where's the coach's authority?!

The author has something to say: RANKing one against five is a necessary quality for a top mid laner.

The best of the best is to fight one against five in the World Championship, but our Xiaoyue is unable to do it for the time being, and her teammates don't want to give her the opportunity to carry the team alone.

Little Moon: Let me show off!

Teammates: Get out of the way! We're coming!

Gu Yang: humble.jpg

I'm so happy writing this! If you don't understand anything, feel free to tell me. Although I'm happy writing this, I'm a little unsure (lying flat)
