At 8:00 PM, everyone had rested and entered their rooms. Yang Lin belatedly asked, "Who are we training with?"
Xu Qing threatened him: "If I tell you, I'm afraid you'll be so scared that your hands will tremble."
Yang Lin: "No, no, I'm not nervous playing the game, but I'm more nervous sitting next to Brother Shuang."
Gu Yueshuang: “?”
In order to simulate the competition situation, Zhou Yao and Lin Yanqiu made way for the two newcomers. POG played the training match according to the seating arrangement during the competition, so Yang Lin sat to the right of Gu Yueshuang - Lin Yanqiu's previous seat.
Gu Yueshuang pointed at herself bewilderedly: "Am I scary?"
Yang Lin was so frightened that he stammered incoherently: "No, no, I'm just... nervous."
Lu Minghao nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, I'm just afraid of making mistakes."
Gu Yueshuang's face was full of black lines, and she said sarcastically: "Then you have made many mistakes as well."
Lu Minghao said awkwardly, "Doesn't it mean that the more you fear making mistakes, the easier it is to make them?"
Gu Yueshuang tried to liven up the atmosphere: "It's okay, don't be nervous...How about I tell you a joke?"
Yang Lin trembled: "No, no, no, please don't speak, I get nervous when I hear your voice..."
I was so nervous that I even used honorifics.
Gu Yueshuang: “???”
Xu Qing laughed out loud: "It's over, the conductor doesn't allow me to talk, so I'll take the lead later?"
Lu Minghao: "Ah? Was it Brother Shuang who gave the order?"
Xu Qing: "Usually together, but Brother Shuang and Captain Lin talk the most, but Captain Lin is not here..."
Typically, the jungler and support in a team do the most calling, as these two positions require the most overall vision and don't require very precise control. However, POG's jungler is quiet, and the support is overwhelmed, so the two carry players usually have to talk a lot.
Lu Minghao gave Yang Lin a meaningful look and said, "Yang Lin, you better perform well. Don't get rejected if you fail the tryout..."
Gu Yueshuang was completely bewildered: "Why are you so afraid of me?"
Lu Minghao: "It's not fear, it's admiration! Your legend is circulating in the youth training this year."
Gu Yueshuang: “???”
Gu Yang seemed to be lost in thought: "No wonder the youth training this year is so easy to talk to..."
Some youth players even approached them and said they didn't want a salary, but only wanted food and lodging. Unfortunately, the POG base couldn't accommodate any more people.
Seeing her shocked expression, Lu Minghao smiled wryly and explained, "Maybe you don't think you're that impressive. For most of us academy players, playing in the LPL is a dream, and making the playoffs is an unattainable dream..."
When there were promotion and relegation matches, they couldn't even beat the bottom LPL team, let alone other stronger teams?
Yang Lin nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Really, just after entering the LPL, they can reach the semi-finals, which is really amazing!"
Gu Yueshuang raised her hand and called a halt: "No, wait, the playoffs are out of reach? What about the World Championship?"
Xu Qing: "...Don't even mention them. I don't even dare to think about the World Championship."
The League of Legends World Championship, commonly known as the S Championship, is usually held at the end of the year, when the top teams from all regions gather together to compete.
Major regions such as LPL (local region), LCK (Korean region), Europe and the United States each have three places, while only the champions can participate in the wildcard region.
Gu Yueshuang: "Be confident. As long as you can calculate the CD time accurately and don't start a team fight randomly, we can do it."
Xu Qing: “?”
Xu Qing: "How dare you say that."
Gu Yueshuang smiled and said, "I'm a mid-field power player. If you don't give up, you'll win."
Qin Ye: "Yes."
Lin Yanqiu stood behind and gently poked Gu Yueshuang's shoulder, thinking that there was a starting AD standing here.
It’s also very powerful.
Gu Yueshuang didn't even turn around, shaking her head and teasing him deliberately: "Please, substitute AD, sit on the bench and don't interfere with the players' games."
Lin Yanqiu pursed his lips and poked her shoulder again.
Gu Yueshuang took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and gave it to Lin Yanqiu, saying like a child, "Just sit over there and get well first, then we'll talk."
Lin Yanqiu took the chocolate candy and obediently stepped aside to sit down.
Yang Lin wondered: "Did the captain speak just now?"
They all wore headphones, but they were not noise-canceling headphones specifically for competitions. After all, the training room was relatively quiet and generally no noise could be heard.
If Lin Yanqiu spoke, his voice should be transmitted to their headphones through the microphone.
Obviously no one heard Lin Yanqiu speak just now, but Gu Yueshuang's tone clearly sounded like a conversation...
Gu Yueshuang clapped her hands: "Okay, back to the point. Today, either Pig Man explodes or we disband!"
Everyone: “???”
Gu Yang patted her head: "How can you talk like that?!"
Xu Qing was unconvinced: "No, why should we disband?"
Yang Lin was stunned: "Are we actually going to play against the GGB team directly?"
Lu Minghao clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and made a wish: "Boss Shuang, may you bless me!"
Gu Yueshuang: “?”
My friend, is your style of painting not right?
Qin Ye was very calm: "Charge."
Yang Lin was extremely worried: "Is it really okay to let the championship team give me a tryout directly?"
Gu Yueshuang: "They asked for it."
Lin Yanqiu, who hadn't spoken in a long time, boasted, "Thank you, mid laner. During MSI, when GGB lost in the group stage, she helped GGB fight the trolls online with their smurfs. GGB might be returning the favor."
Gu Yueshuang: "No, no, no, they came to find us because we are really strong."
Everyone: “…”
Will anyone believe this if I say it?
It’s okay to say that the original configuration is strong, but now two newcomers who have never played in the LPL have been added, and this is even the first time they have been working together. Who would believe that they are strong?
As she was speaking, Gu Yueshuang received a private message from Lu Cheng: "Should I be gentler?"
Gu Yueshuang was amused. How could he even save face for the children?
She replied: "Beat me up, you're welcome."
As I said before, GGB was really ruthless in this match and showed no mercy at all, beating Yang Lin until he cried.
The bottom lane allowed GGB to eat up all five layers of plating, and in the first ten minutes, they killed Yang Lin three times, not to mention the kills Lu Cheng received when he visited the bottom lane.
It's really horrible.
But Gu Yueshuang never expected that someone would cry just because they lost a training match. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort them. She handed them a bottle of water and said, "Are you tired of crying? Do you want some water?"
Xu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can you comfort people like this?"
But Yang Lin was really amused by her. She looked a little funny crying and laughing at the same time.
Lu Minghao could understand why Yang Lin was crying - he felt embarrassed in front of his admired senior and felt sorry for him.
But he didn't know how to comfort him.
Gu Yueshuang thought for a moment and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid. Captain Xiaolin has your back. As long as he's still conscious, it won't be your turn to play."
After hearing this, Yang Lin cried even louder.
Lin Yanqiu was helpless: "Are you trying to comfort me or stab me?"
Yang Lin wiped away her tears and said, "I will try my best."
Lu Cheng asked, "Are you still coming?"
Gu Yueshuang typed a reply: "No, you made us newbies cry."
Lu Cheng also said: "You also made our mid laner cry."
Gu Yueshuang smiled back and said nothing more.
Lin Yanqiu asked Yang Lin, "Are you nervous about being her teammate?"
Yang Lin nodded reluctantly.
Gu Yueshuang couldn't figure it out. How scary did she look to make these kids nervous when they saw her?
Lin Yanqiu suggested, "Let's go to Genting. Those who rank low will treat everyone to a midnight snack."
Teamfight Tactics, the auto chess game in League of Legends, is a kind of casual mode.
Gu Yueshuang made a bitter face: "I don't know how to play."
Yang Lin: "I haven't played it either..."
The clever Lu Minghao has already started searching for strategies.
Lin Yanqiu said tactfully: "If you are good at everything, how can they play?"
Gu Yueshuang understood what he meant immediately. He wanted to narrow the distance between them and help these children integrate into the group more quickly.
Xu Qing looked like a seasoned veteran: "Team building. Our POG team always does it before any competition. Before the Spring Split, we went to a haunted house, and after we came back, we became a very harmonious team."
Zhou Yao complained, "We originally wanted to scare this new guy and give him a warning."
Lu Minghao's attention was instantly drawn: "And then? Was Boss Shuang scared?"
Gu Yueshuang was helpless: "...Don't call me boss."
Zhou Yao held his forehead and said, "No, he scared us half to death, but he didn't move at all."
Lu Minghao gave a thumbs up: "It really is Boss Shuang!"
Gu Yueshuang: "...I told you not to call me boss!"
Lu Minghao: "Okay, Boss Shuang."
Gu Yueshuang completely lost her temper.
Teamfight Tactics is played by eight people, and POG alone has seven players.
Lin Yanqiu asked, "Coach and Brother Tao, do you want to come together?"
Gu Yang waved his hand: "We can't, we both still have to sort out the materials."
"Thanks for your hard work."
A team of seven people was formed and they were quickly matched with a stranger player.
The passerby player is a platform anchor who is currently broadcasting live. He doesn’t want to play ranked games so he comes to Cloud Top to relax. Unexpectedly, he catches up with the POG team building.
The anchor politely asked, "Hello everyone, I'm live streaming, is that okay?"
Lin Yanqiu replied: "It's okay."
The host also knew that the seven of them were together and probably didn't know how to chat using typing, so he sent a message on the public screen saying "Good luck in the summer games" and then didn't disturb their team building anymore.
But because he was a host, he quickly attracted a large number of POG fans and onlookers, causing the entire LPL to know that POG had formed a team to play in Genting.
Return the food.
Everyone is incredibly bad at chess, and I don’t know where they get the courage to play chess as a team.
[Six little river spirits, it's clear at first glance that only Fat Brother has played at Genting]
[He Ling: There’s a traitor among us]
[Thanks to the host for letting me see POG. I'm paying for your ticket here! ]
…
About ten minutes later, the host was the only one left with full health.
The streamer asked the audience, "Should I let them both be heroes?"
[Shocking! The streamer actually found pleasure in bullying the noobs among the pros!]
[Listen to me! Don't give in! If you win, you can brag about it for a year!]
Another five minutes later, the anchor posted a question on the public screen: "Your fans asked me to ask why you are such bad chess players."
He quickly added, "They told me to say it like that! Don't mind, masters!"
"I didn't dare to ask, but they really gave too much."
Gu Yueshuang sneered and typed a reply: "Give me half of the reward and I will answer you."
Host: "All for you! Can you give me a friend slot?"
[Anchor, think twice! ! Shuang Ge's friends only have one group called "Beasts"]
【Spend money like an animal (no)】
[Be tough! You are number one now!]
Gu Yueshuang originally had the lowest health, but her lineup was finally formed and she was about to start a winning streak.
She typed her answer to the previous question: "Because the ID above these heroes' heads isn't POG.Frost."
——If I were playing, they wouldn’t be so bad.
In the end, no one expected that Gu Yueshuang would lock her health and win the chicken, climbing all the way from eighth to first.
Xu Qing was amazed: "You are really a complete gambler."
Competitions also like to bet on operations, and every move of chess is a gamble on luck.
Zhou Yao looked at the strategy guide on the phone in front of her and said with emotion: "You are really lucky."
She spawned the heroes and gear she wanted, and only after her lineup was complete did she achieve her winning streak. With her style of play, if she wasn't lucky enough to spawn the heroes she wanted, she'd likely be eliminated early.
Gu Yueshuang smiled and said, "High risk, high return. Who's paying?"
Yang Lin raised his hand weakly.
Gu Yueshuang shook her head and sighed: "The child is so pitiful, then I'd better eat more today."
Yang Lin: “…”
Lu Minghao also raised his hand weakly: "I'm sixth, please buy some milk tea."
Gu Yueshuang: "Who is the seventh one?"
Qin Ye: "..."
Qin Ye: "What to eat?"
Lin Yanqiu suggested, "Let's have hot pot."
Gu Yueshuang: "Remember to order the yuyang hotpot, someone can't handle spicy food."
After a pause, he added, "Keep an eye on him later, don't let him steal any food."
Lin Yanqiu smiled innocently.
Yang Lin asked: "Brother Ye ordered hot pot, so what should I buy? It should be something more expensive, after all, my ranking is lower..."
Gu Yueshuang: "Just some barbecue will do. We prefer to kill those who don't talk."
Qin Ye: "..."
Xu Qing put his arm around Yang Lin's shoulders and said, "Relax, the last thing your brother Ye lacks is money."
Fang Butao was puzzled: "Why did you order so much takeout? Why don't you just go out to eat?"
Xu Qing sneered: "Oh, we don't even go out for team building, so why go out for food?"
Zhou Yao pulled him over and said, "Brother Tao, you're here just in time! Everyone who sees one gets one, right? Brother Tao, you should order one too?"
Fang Butao: “…”
On board a pirate ship.
Fang Butao was ripped off by these little guys. After ordering takeout and putting away his phone, he said, "Wait, I'll call your coach over so everyone can get a share. I can't be the only one getting ripped off."
Yang Lin cried out "Wow!" and started to cry again: "The atmosphere in this team is really great..."
Gu Yueshuang's face was filled with black lines: "Why is this child so fond of crying?"
Yang Lin wiped away her tears and sobbed to herself, "Don't cry, don't cry. I have to become stronger. One day I will bring down Captain Lin. Brother Shuang and I will stand shoulder to shoulder."
Lin Yanqiu smiled and said, "That won't do."
Gu Yueshuang patted Yang Lin on the shoulder: "Come on, I'm rooting for you."
Lin Yanqiu: "How do you cheer him up?"
Gu Yueshuang felt puzzled: "What else? He has a promising future."
Lin Yanqiu stuffed a piece of candy into her hand and said, "Change your words quickly and cheer me up."
Gu Yueshuang: "... childish."
She accepted the candy and perfunctorily said, "Come on, everyone, okay? How about you two have a battle?"
Lu Minghao came over with his phone and asked, "What flavor of milk tea do you want?"
Before I could answer, I heard Fang Butao wailing, "Who the hell bought this trending search?"
Xu Qing was curious: "What's wrong?"
Fang Butao: "I'm so pissed! Does Lao Gu have the money to remove the trending search? They bought a trending search for 'POG chess is delicious'."
"Isn't that great? Free publicity."
Gu Yueshuang turned to Lu Minghao and said, "Original flavor with 30% sugar. Just order whatever you want. No need to ask each one. These idiots can't tell the difference."
Xu Qing was so busy trying to find someone to settle the score with that he asked, "Who's bad at chess? No, who's the fool?"
Yang Lin looked at the bustling base, moved to tears. Pulling Gu Yang aside, he asked, "Coach, can we sign a contract? Can I renew my contract here? Please don't fire me. I will work hard to become stronger!"
Gu Yang: "...Ah? No, calm down."
Is this kid sane? Only a fool would sign a long-term contract so early in his career. What if he outperforms his market value? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
He finally managed to calm Yang Lin down, then quietly went to ask Gu Yueshuang, "Did you have any bullying incidents during your youth training? Like, bullying other kids?"
Xu Qing had sharp ears and heard what was going on. He interrupted and said, "Coach, you're asking the wrong person. Only Brother Shuang can bully others. I've heard rumors about his brutality in different years as well as him."
Gu Yueshuang: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Gu Yang pondered, "Why do I feel like Yang Lin was severely bullied during the youth training? This kid seems to be very insecure..."
Gu Yueshuang: "The past is not important, what matters is the future. His performance today was indeed a bit poor."
Xu Qing: "No, they're both pretty good at ranked."
Gu Yueshuang recalled the tragic experience of being cheated when playing duo with Lu Minghao, and suddenly felt a headache.
Xu Qing pulled out Lu Minghao's RANK record, showed it to her, and said, "Look, he's usually really good at RANKing, but for some reason, his hands start shaking and his movements become distorted when he meets you. Yang Lin is the same way, obviously very nervous. So, what did you do to them during the youth training?"
Gu Yueshuang was speechless: "...I haven't even seen them."
Xu Qing fell into deep thought, muttering to himself: "Strange..."
