Chapter 16: Could he be planning to level up one level at a time?
Boss Mo was equally baffled as to who the training match was going to be arranged for.
"No, Xiao Fu..." Mo Ziye rubbed his fingers together, standing in front of Fu Shiyan with a conflicted look on his face. He swallowed the rest of his words, "Brother knows you're confident, but with BJBS in the current state, going up against AD Gaming, who's ranked high in LSPL... will it be...?"
He was too embarrassed to finish the second half of his sentence.
What he really meant was—with their current lineup of four huskies, even with you, the Wolf King, leading the team, if they encounter such a tough opponent with the strength to challenge for the LPL right from the start, they're afraid they'll be beaten to a pulp.
As the saying goes, the late emperor passed away before he had completed his great undertaking.
The preliminary rounds of the city championship haven't even started yet, and I'm already being crushed to the point of having my Dao Heart shattered, just like those kid guys from the first server I just encountered in team play. How am I supposed to proceed from here?
"Don't worry." Fu Shiyan's tone was calm as he explained, "Letting them experience the brilliance of a profession beforehand and understand the specific differences will actually benefit our subsequent training."
Then, remembering that the person in front of him was ultimately his boss, he added, "Besides, it's just a scrim. AD Gaming will also be considering practicing new tactics, so they won't be going all out."
Fu Shiyan had his own considerations.
Firstly, it's to further test the execution ability shown by the four teammates in the previous practice match—whether it was just a flash of inspiration or they could really maintain the rhythm. A proper training match would reveal most of the truth.
Secondly, by examining a team that failed to break into the LPL but still ranks among the top teams in the league, we can see what level the LPL region is really at.
He remembered clearly that during this period of the World Championship, his team's first and third seeds were eliminated in the group stage, and the second seed suffered a humiliating 0-3 defeat in the quarterfinals.
He was very curious about just how strong the competitive level of other regions had become. In the parallel world, LPL had won championships with ease and even swept the top four in the World Championship, but here they couldn't even make it to the semifinals.
Furthermore, Fu Shiyan's true trump card in making a name for himself in the e-sports world has never been any superior skill.
Rather, it's the rich experience accumulated over many years in LOL esports, from players to coaches leading teams.
Another issue is that when he plays ranked training with four teammates who are all Master rank, he still has to worry that they will feed too quickly in the laning phase and get crushed by the enemy team.
Playing scrims with professional teams is different—with most moves predictable, the game becomes more controllable, allowing his experience and awareness to truly shine.
"Besides, boss, you promised me you would never interfere with the team's training." Fu Shiyan slowly took out the terms from the contract, his tone carrying a hint of reminder.
Mo Ziye gave an awkward smile, the slight struggle on his face immediately being covered up by a fawning expression.
"Of course, of course, I won't interfere, I absolutely won't interfere... I'm just making a suggestion, just a suggestion." He coughed twice, quickly trying to cover it up, "Being able to contact AD Gaming for scrims is a good thing, hahaha!"
The four team members sitting in their seats were somewhat speechless as they watched their boss's arrogant yet obsequious demeanor.
Just how much do you love esports?
A multi-millionaire boss, who is worth tens of millions, listens to a young man's every word all day long, like an obedient little brother.
Oh wait—they suddenly realized that the fact that their boss could neglect his legitimate business and spend all his time with them in this run-down base, messing around with that ridiculous city competition, was enough to explain everything.
This person is truly in love.
……
The password has already been set in the custom room.
ADG-jinjiao pulled in the five people from BJBS one by one.
"BJBS-BCYM has joined the room—"
"BJBS-DRXJ has joined the room—"
"BJBS-Crush has added a room—"
System notifications popped up one after another at a leisurely pace.
ADG-jinjiao typed a message in the public chat: "Hello everyone, get ready before entering the room. Once everything is clear, type '1' in the public chat!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a gasp of surprise rang out in the ADG room.
"Wow, I was wondering why Brother Yuan would team up with a city championship team. Turns out it's Crush's team."
The sharp-eyed ADG support immediately recognized Fu Shiyan, who was positioned in the mid lane of BJBS.
"Crush?" Jinjiao hadn't reacted yet, and glanced at him sideways.
"Yes, that ruthless player who suddenly appeared in the Chinese server ranked games. He went from Master to the top ten of Challenger in a very short time, losing only six or seven games in total."
"From Master to King with a thousand points, he only lost less than ten games?"
The jungler counted on his fingers, "Wow, an 80-90% win rate, that's really impressive."
"It's not just about awareness," the support player said, getting more and more excited. "This guy can play a lot of champions in the mid lane, like Azir, Viktor, Ryze, and then LeBlanc and Yasuo. There's no mage or assassin he can't pick."
"Old Jin, you've been grinding in the Korean server these past few days, I didn't know. Everyone in the high ranks wants to be matched with him as a teammate right now."
"You got queued up to him? Why, want to steal points?"
"What's so great about taking points? Crush is a pro player with great command skills. Being teammates with him is incredibly comfortable and stylish."
The three Chinese players on the ADG team immediately started talking, one after another, their eyes occasionally glancing at someone sitting in the middle.
Based on the opponent in today's practice match, they seem to know the real purpose of their manager in arranging this practice match.
"But speaking of which, with such a great rank, why not just go for a tryout in the LPL?" Jungler qixiaoyin scratched his head.
"With his performance, even LPL teams that don't lack mid laners would find it hard to refuse him."
"Who knows?" The support player shrugged. "At first, we thought it was a smurf account of some top mid laner. Then Manager Yuan asked me to add him as a friend and we found out he was just a kid who had just turned eighteen... I got a friend slot, and a ton of teams wanted to find me through me... I can only say it's the thinking of a genius, something we mere mortals can't understand."
"So, if he joins a city championship team now," qixiaoyin pondered for a moment, guessing uncertainly, "he's not planning to carry a few random players up the ranks, is he?"
"You know what, you really have to say it." Jinjiao pinched his chin, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. "If he can fight his way into the LPL from the city championship, that is definitely better than him going directly to an LPL club for a tryout and starting as a substitute."
"cut--"
The jungler grumbled, cracking his knuckles, "If getting into the LPL were that easy, would we guys still need to be here practicing every day to prepare for the Summer Split?"
Jin Jiao grinned, and his eyes lit up.
"What else is there to say? Let's get started!" He adjusted his posture, his fingers landing on the keyboard. "We have to give this genius newcomer from the national server a professional shock. A welcoming ceremony is a must."
"Beat up a genius random guy?" The support tilted his head and looked at him.
Golden Horn laughed.
"Let's be frank—I like that!"
