Yang Jingyu left the rest room and called the referee.
The referee was also at a loss when he heard about this situation.
However, he still spoke responsibly, saying, "I'll go and communicate with EDG right now. You know, if they don't agree, there's nothing we can do."
Yang Jingyu expressed his gratitude and instructed Bai to immediately take Changhong to the hospital.
However, the referee team did not immediately go to EDG's rest room, but instead reported to their superiors.
The leaders above all smiled when they heard this.
"We must get EDG to agree, no matter what method we use. If necessary, we can use our power to pressure them!"
The referee was surprised, but still did as instructed.
He didn't understand that it's because he hasn't reached a management position yet. If he had, he would know that this is a great way to generate a lot of traffic.
With DMO's coach being called upon to play in a critical situation when his players are ill, especially against EDG, the hype surrounding the match is sure to be off the charts.
How could the league officials possibly let go of such an opportunity to generate traffic?
When the referee led the team to the EDG team's rest room, the EDG players looked puzzled upon seeing the newcomers.
Abu, who had been promoted to coach, asked, "What's wrong? Why hasn't the match started yet?"
At this point in time, the draft phase of the second game should have ended.
The referee explained, "DMO's top laner, Changhong, is sick and unable to play, which caused the delay!"
Abu wasn't happy; instead, he asked with concern, "Is Changhong alright?"
The referee replied, "He's already been sent to the hospital, but DMO doesn't have a substitute top laner, so he can't play the rest of the match."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xing realized that things were in trouble.
He asked urgently, "They're not going to forfeit, are they?"
The referee shook his head and replied, "No, they want to know if another player can replace Changhong in this match?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xing fell silent.
The other contestants are doing something that looks so similar to what happened back then!
He was a coach back then, now he's a supervisor.
But the things they encountered were remarkably similar.
Ji Xing hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.
"I wonder which player they plan to send to play the remaining matches?"
Clearly, Ji Xing meant that if this player poses a threat to EDG, she would object!
The referee didn't mince words: "It's their coach, Yang Jingyu!"
When Yang Jingyu's name was mentioned, everyone in the EDG team's rest room gasped in surprise.
Their facial expressions were very complex, but most of them were holding back their laughter.
Yang Jingyu, game ID epoch, was the top laner for YG. After YG separated from IG and changed its name to SDG, he continued to play the top lane position for that team.
After arriving in the LPL, he suffered from culture shock and retired to become a coach.
He has quite a talent for coaching.
As for being a professional player, there's really nothing particularly outstanding about him.
Having thought this through, Ji Xing had already figured out how to use this match to reverse public opinion about EDG.
He quickly agreed.
The referee thought he was going to put pressure on them, but to his surprise, EDG agreed.
It seems that EDG isn't so rigid after all!
The referee returned to the DMO team's rest room and told Yang Jingyu that EDG had agreed. Yang Jingyu immediately called manager Zhang Sheng to discuss the matter.
Zhang Sheng hadn't expected Changhong to suddenly fall ill. All he could do was tell Yang Jingyu to play without any pressure and just play freely. He would take responsibility for any problems that might arise.
In Zhang Sheng's opinion, since DMO can't beat EDG anyway, why not let Yang Jingyu, the coach, play a game? Maybe that can attract some fans for DMO.
DMO currently has very few supporters in the LPL league.
Meanwhile, on the commentary stage, the two unlucky guys, Changmao and Wawa, had been rambling on for almost half an hour.
They didn't know what had happened either, and the audience was getting impatient, so the two of them could only try to distract the audience by making small talk.
They received the message very quickly.
When the news came, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Wawa said, "We just received news that DMO's top laner, Changhong, is sick and has been sent to the hospital. Therefore, DMO will be replacing their top laner for the second game. However, since DMO does not have a substitute top laner, after discussions between the referee and both teams, it was decided that the original DMO top laner, who is also their coach Epoch, will play in the game."
Long Hair laughed and said, "Your long wait was worthwhile. Soon, you'll see the coach on the field, while the head coach of the DMO team is warming up on the sidelines."
These words shocked everyone watching the game, whether in the stadium or on their computers and phones.
This is even more outrageous than Wang Sicong playing as an AD carry in the LPL.
The rumor circulating in the LPL is that the coach is warming up on the sidelines, and if you don't perform well, he'll carry you off the stage, chair and all. Is this true?
The live chat was buzzing with discussion, all focused on Yang Jingyu, who was about to take the stage.
