LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 89: Arrangements for the Four!

"walk slowly."

Fu Shiyan leaned back on the sofa, a slight smile playing on his lips, effectively ending the test.

Of course he knew these people's personalities. He had been with them since the city championship. He could count them all with his eyes closed: who was loose-lipped, who was scheming, and who blushed easily when they got angry.

After acquiring the shares, his identity changed from "captain" to "boss + captain". With the added responsibility of coaching, he worried that these young men would start having all sorts of thoughts.

Do you feel like you've lost your original charm?

Will it create a sense of distance?

Are you still able to play freely during matches?

Fortunately, my worries were unnecessary.

He looked at the four people in front of him who were talking all at once, and nodded to himself.

Team stability is always the top priority.

With the 2016 LSPL Spring Split just around the corner, the fewer off-field issues there are, the more improvements can be made on the field.

In addition, he made arrangements for the future of the young men after communicating with Lao Mo and Qi Sheng.

As mentioned before, in terms of talent alone, none of the four of them are among the top in the professional scene.

Fu Shiyan understood this, and the four of them understood it even better.

Hand speed, reaction time, and exceptional skills—these are things that are gifts from God, but in the professional world, they are at best considered mediocre. Even with their own intervention and training, they are still several levels below those prodigies.

But in esports, it's not something that five geniuses can win just by putting together a team.

These four people have a quality that even many top players may not possess—their execution is off the charts!

As long as he says "This time we're going to take down the dragon," no one will ask "why?"

When told to "gank together in three minutes," Wu Chen appeared in the river bushes right on time, without saying he would waste time by greedily hunting wild monsters.

If you tell them to "practice this lineup fifty times," they will actually practice it fifty times without complaining, being lazy, or changing the plan on their own.

You can't find many people in the entire esports industry who can be so obedient and have such strong execution skills.

Fu Shiyan had pondered many times where they should be placed.

If you only aim to be a player, making it into the LPL might be your limit.

Moving up the ranks, to compete for a spot in the World Championship, the top teams in the LPL will ultimately come down to talent and laning skills, and the weaknesses of the four players will be magnified.

So, looking at it from another perspective, everyone has their own path. Just like in my past life, there's no need for everyone to crowd onto the single-plank bridge of being a contestant.

Furthermore, for the club to grow, he alone is far from enough.

We need people for the competition and training team, for youth training, for data analysis, and for tactical review.

Where did these people come from?

Recruiting from outside?

If you recruit someone who doesn't understand the team culture, it will take six months to get them integrated.

Ideally, of course, it should be someone who grows up within your own team.

All four of them have a deep affection for TSG, an understanding of the game, strong execution skills, and the ability to sit on the bench.

Isn't this the best seedling?

Therefore, Fu Shiyan's idea was to have them participate in the training and competition work while playing the games.

Start by teaching the basics—helping record match videos, editing key team fights, tracking opponent ward placement times, and recording player summoner spell cooldowns.

These tasks are tedious and tedious, but they are the best way to hone one's reading skills.

Once they gradually transform from "passive executors" to "active understanders," and their understanding of the game shifts from "what skill should I use at what second" to "why the opponent appeared in this place at this time"—then he can try to teach them some coaching thinking, or even take on the role of coaching youth teams independently.

He wants to start with his own TSG team and make it a self-sustaining system.

When the first team achieves results, retired or transitioning players flow into the training and youth training groups, which then bring in new talent, and so on.

These four people were the first seeds of this system.

Of course, not all of these things can be said right now.

You have to walk one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time.

The most pressing issue right now is the LSPL Spring Split.

But—

Fu Shiyan snapped out of his thoughts, stood up, patted the wrinkles on his pants, and glanced at the four of them: "Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Turn on the computer, Riot Games has updated the 2016 preseason, let's familiarize you with it."

……

"Patch 6.1 has officially launched on the Chinese server. ADCs have been completely reworked, new talents have been introduced, and vision and jungle have been drastically changed. After reading the introduction, please share your thoughts."

Fu Shiyan turned his head and looked at everyone.

Since their last conversation, Fu Shiyan has stopped hiding anything.

He openly and frankly told the four of them that he intended to cultivate them towards the competition and training group.

He had originally prepared himself mentally—if one or two dreamers harbored the ambition to become professional gamers and got into a fight or threw a tantrum, that would be perfectly normal and understandable!

After all, he had only just reached the LSPL and hadn't even played a single official match before being told that he would need to make a career change. Anyone would feel a bit uneasy in that situation.

The result was beyond his expectations—not a single person blushed, and not even a hesitant expression lasted more than three seconds.

The four of them accepted the assignment at lightning speed and took the initiative to learn and adapt to the tasks of the competition and training group.

It must be said that, in addition to their strong execution skills, these young colleagues also demonstrated remarkable self-awareness.

Zhou Heyang was the first to speak, attempting to explain in his own words:

"The female police officer should be very strong. With her trap charge and guaranteed headshot, she will have maximum lane dominance. I tested her a few days ago, and she can stack headshots even with Hurricane. If she gets Infinity Edge and double critical strike attack speed items in the mid-game, her damage will be ridiculously high."

"And then there's Kog'Maw. His W attack speed is doubled, although his base damage is halved, but it doesn't affect his on-hit items. Blade of the Ruined King and Guinsoo's Rageblade will kill tanks faster than before."

"I'm still a bit unsure about the changes to Corki and Graves. Graves' basic attack has been reduced too much, and his bullets can be blocked by minions. Although he can knock back targets, the laning pressure is too great... Corki's passive converts to magic damage, which increases his output, but I haven't figured out the ratio yet."

Fu Shiyan gave him an approving look.

As long as you have your own understanding, that's fine. If you understand, you understand; if you don't understand, you don't understand.

The changes to Caitlyn and Kog'Maw are relatively straightforward, and players with slightly higher ranks can easily understand them. Combined with Riot's new Rapid Firecannon item, it's easy to draw connections.

However, for the two AD carries, Corki and Graves, who were almost completely reworked, not to mention them, even in the esports scene of my previous life, many strong esports teams studied them for a long time before finding the most suitable positions for them.

"AD's status has improved compared to S5, which I will talk about later."

"Let's continue, Li Rui, you do it!"

Fu Shiyan directly called out names.

"Hehehe, our support role is getting an even bigger boost this season, isn't it?"

Li Rui stood up and pointed to the version update section on the Riot Games website, "You can no longer buy wards in the store. Control wards and cosmetic items have become the only source of vision."
