Chapter 243 Substitute?

In the WBG conference room, everyone sat together in silence.

"Tengjing issued an urgent notice that we will resume the online system for the semi-finals of Taobo the day after tomorrow, and offline venues are temporarily unavailable."

Mai Zijian, who was sitting in the main seat, said with a frown, took off his glasses and rubbed his temples.

It was originally a good game, but it was against another team with the most popularity in the league. They had even prepared all kinds of promotional materials, but it turned out to be a mess.

The passion of offline games cannot be replaced by cold machines online. It can also drive enthusiasm near the main venue. The playoffs BO5 of top teams like them and Top Team can even reach the level of second-tier stars holding concerts. Effect.

This is all wasted money.

Coach Danni next to him was confused. It wasn't until Gu Chuan came over and explained carefully that he slowly remembered.

In fact, the LCK also implemented a short period of online competition in 21, but soon opened offline venues due to various reasons. The specific reasons are difficult to discuss in depth.

Weiwei bit his fingernails uneasily. This might be his first time on the finals stage, but now he might have to squat in the training room to play.

"No matter what, we still have to persevere."

There was a rare seriousness on Liu Qingsong's face, "Manager, please pay attention to some material things. It may not be convenient to go out recently."

He had experienced this kind of experience before at BLG. Sometimes even a cabbage heart could cost 80 yuan.

"No problem! This kind of thing will not have a big impact on our club. You just need to prepare for the game carefully. I, an idle person like me, will take care of other minor issues."

Mai Zijian also put away his expression at the right time.

Traffic and popularity are only things that people in their club want to think about, but they cannot affect the status of the players. The results of the game are still the highest priority.

The only good news is that the network at their base is not like RA where power outages and disconnections occur from time to time. At least it can still ensure the normal operation of the game.

However, since the server is relatively far away, some delays cannot be completely avoided.

"That's all for today. I'm here to inform you that it may not be convenient to go out at that time. Remember to pay attention to hygiene and wear a mask."

"Cough cough!"

A sudden violent cough interrupted his words.

Everyone quickly followed the voice and saw that Gu Chuan's face was a little rosy, covering his mouth and trying to endure it.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?" His voice was slightly hoarse and his eyes were slightly red.
Gu Chuan looked confused when everyone looked at him. He hadn't realized anything yet.

Cheng Lu, who was next to him, quickly pushed away the chair, stood up, and slowly put her hand on his forehead.

[Announcement of staff changes in WBG League of Legends Division]

[Former WBG.YADC player Zou Wei (ID: Assum) will be promoted to the WBG League of Legends first team.

Player Assum has accumulated rich experience in the LDL league and also participated in the Demacia Cup with the first team. I believe that his joining will bring more vitality to the team, and I also hope that he can take over again.]

An announcement was posted on Weibo overnight.

In this late night, the popularity of the post was instantly pushed to the top ten hot searches, immediately causing an uproar on the e-sports forum, and various key hot search terms emerged one after another.

This is not only WBG fans who are panicking, they must know that it is taboo to change a general on the spot, let alone a key core figure in the team.

Even Team Tobo's coach Bai Yueya was dumbfounded.

I've been studying your ADC for two weeks, and now you're telling me about a temporary replacement?
Many fans have PTSD from the decision of WBG executives to suddenly replace players. At that time, they forced Huan Feng to play several games in the MSI Budget Tournament. Although the results were not bad, the process was bumpy and almost overturned. .

But now we have to face one of the top teams in the country, which is not as easy as playing wild cards and competing against Europe and the United States.

As a manager, Mai Zijian was quickly sent to the space elevator by a message. The number of messages below soon reached nearly 2. Unfortunately, it was late at night and he didn't know what he would face when he woke up tomorrow.

the other end,
Within a short time, all the data of ADC Assam was put on the table by major training teams. As a player who can replace AD ​​for a while, other clubs are also very curious.

After all, you have to recruit people early, when the wages are low and the contracts are cheap. At least you can make some money by signing an intention contract.

But soon, after research by various professionals, we finally came up with only one comment:
Assam's overall level can only barely serve as AD for some second-tier teams. The only advantage is that he is young and may still have hope for the future, but his combat power is quite limited.

This is obviously not a trump card.

"Cough cough."

There was a constant buzzing in Gu Chuan's ears, and his usually sharp hands felt numb.

"You're so careless. You really shouldn't have gone out last week."

He slapped his head feebly, feeling that all the muscles in his body were desperately responding to him, and pain was everywhere.

I had a goat once in my previous life, but it may be because it was relatively late at that time, and with the blessing of various vaccines, there were not many complications. Except for the accident on the first day, it was relatively easy and passed after two days of sleep. .

This made him take it a bit lightly.

But this time the situation was completely different. Faced directly with the strongest version of the virus, I physically experienced what it means to be far ahead.

gotta
There was a light knock on the door, and then a small crack opened.With one hand he stuffed a small bag of stuff in with difficulty.

"Just scream before you die. This is your medicine. This is all you can find now."

"The team leader said that you can stay in this room by yourself for now. If nothing happens, I will deliver meals to you twice a day. One more thing, the doctor will come to see you at noon tomorrow."

A dull sound came from outside the door, and it was obvious that the person was not in a good mood.

"Why should I go to jail?"

Gu Chuan reluctantly struggled to sit up straight, cleared his throat and replied loudly, "Who is looking down on if you eat two meals a day? You need at least three meals. How can you get better quickly if you don't eat more?"

"You are a real pig, let's go! Go to the rank!"

Listening to his hoarse voice, Liu Qingsong, who was slightly worried at first, became even more irritable, but after thinking about it, he could only leave quickly.

We can't afford to lose another person in the team now, otherwise we really won't be able to play the game by then, and we might have to re-enact the one-second BO5 that appeared back then.

Listening to the footsteps outside the door gradually moving away, Gu Chuan returned to his depressed state again.
But he could only hold on and walk to the door with difficulty, pick up the medicine, stumble one step at a time and throw himself back on the bed.

"It's hard to top."

Through his sleepy eyes, he could barely make out the three words ibuprofen written on it, which was just the right thing to deal with the pain that was everywhere in his body.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

While swallowing, he didn't forget to open his phone. When Xia An's photo flashed by, the red date mark was very conspicuous.

There is only one day left in the schedule of the above memorandum, but according to his current physical condition, he can't get up at all. This is more painful than the back injury of Fat General back then, let alone going to the stage for a high-intensity BO5 game.

"This is a big trouble."

Gu Chuan helplessly stroked his hot forehead, and his consciousness soon became blurred as the medicine took effect.

the next morning,

Mai Zijian had just gotten up and put on his suit worriedly.

"I'm rough!"

The moment I turned on the phone, a steady stream of messages and pop-up boxes popped up like crazy, making it impossible to stop at a glance.

Now I almost can’t even carry the Huawei I just bought.

Before he could reply, several calls came in at the same time in the next second, and the name of BOSS on them looked particularly dazzling.

pat!

The phone slipped from his fingers to the ground, and Mai Zijian quickly leaned down and picked it out.

But bad news came again. After the hard slam just now, or because of too many messages, the phone became too hot. Now the phone cannot be turned on at all.

"Now we're in big trouble." He stared blankly at his phone with a black screen.

After a night of fermentation of outside public opinion, online forums became more popular, and this sensitive news was amplified in various ways.

Some anchors who were trying to attract traffic even rushed to produce many videos overnight, and paired them with various eye-catching titles, which made them really messed up.

[WBG’s starting AD is about to be replaced, and Gu Chuan may be in a contract crisis! 】

[Changing generals once again, is WBG asking for trouble? 】

[Newcomer AD Assam will be WBG’s trump card in the playoffs. Maybe Gu Chuan will become a coach again? 】

[Ah, forced by capital, the new king ADC was maliciously hidden due to contract renewal issues. 】

As the popularity grew, some people in the industry quickly found the WBG training match records from yesterday afternoon.

Among the names of the battles between the two sides, Assam's name quietly replaced the ID that the audience is familiar with, and he is usually called a model worker. King Juan's number one account in the Korean server has not been online for two days.

The image of a poor honest man restricted by a club contract has firmly established itself in the hearts of countless passers-by and fans.

In the Internet age, many things are going to be more magical than imagined.

WBG’s official blog operation had no idea that a seemingly inconspicuous announcement could actually trigger such an effect.

Seeing that public opinion was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, Huang Bo, as the general manager of the game division, finally couldn't help but stand up and start to refute the rumors.

On the other side, Mai Zijian, who had crawled to work in the company, also frantically launched Weibo and issued various announcements through different channels in an attempt to reverse public opinion, but to no avail.

In the end, Gu Chuan posted a video on his personal account, fully showing his half-dead state to WBG fans.

The farce was barely suppressed.

But amid the worried discussions among fans, on the officially announced battle list of League of Legends in the afternoon, the name of WBG's AD column was changed to substitute Assam.

It is impossible for Gu Chuan to start in this state.

8 month 28 day.

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2022 League of Legends LPL Summer Playoffs, our game is almost over!"

"In this semi-final BO5, one team will go directly to the finals, while the other losing team will fall into the loser group. They need to have a second battle with JD.com to decide the final The ownership of a ticket.”

The voice in the commentary box was still so passionate and recognizable: "Good afternoon, fellow summoners, I am Zeyuan, the commentator for this game!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Hitomi!"

The "wife" of someone with twin tails next to her nodded crookedly.

Coming to a slightly heavyweight competition, this pairing of a man and a woman is obviously the most capable commentary lineup of Tengjing. Guan Dajun is good at real-time commentary and analysis on the field, and Hitomi Nozomi is more of a support type. His understanding of the game is also above average.

The more critical issue is that they have the equipment and environment needed for remote commentary at home.

That's right, even the commentary for this game was inserted into the live broadcast by the company.

"Today's exciting game was brought to us by our WBG team and Taobao team. Now these two teams can be regarded as the ceiling of the league in terms of popularity and strength. I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time."

Senior Colonel Guan, who wears a suit and tie, shorts and slippers, is still so excited. "The e-sports Zhen Huan story that broke out on the Internet yesterday caused quite a stir. In the end, WBG replaced their new AD player Assam as the starter. Teacher Hitomi Nozomi , which team do you think will have a greater winning rate today?"

“Personally, I still think Taobao’s advantages will be greater.”

Hitomi took over the conversation, "Taobo won seven consecutive victories in the second half of the summer split. In the past, it only lost a few games against WBG and JD.com. In addition, Weibo lost its core ADC today. I I feel that the two sides should be at about 73 points, and Taobo’s advantage will be more obvious.”

The barrage in the live broadcast room started to be filled with bad women. WBG still had the upper hand in the victory vote at the bottom.

In the eyes of many viewers, Ah Shui is not at the top level among so many ADs. As long as the bottom lane can be mixed a little today, Wei Songhu's rhythm ability can still win Taobo steadily.

"I don't quite agree with your statement."

Colonel Guan sat up seriously and talked about the theory incessantly, "Topbo team also played against WBG twice in the summer split, but undoubtedly lost the game, although Gu Chuan was not able to start today. "

"But! Their main operating system is still there, so I still think today's winner will not change."

He hammered his chest, turned his head and pointed outside the screen, "WBG, the champion is the first!"

behind the camera,
Xiaohu, who was wiping his glasses, suddenly felt a chill pass from his back, and even the keyboard in front of him seemed to have an extra layer of slippery feel.

"What the hell?"

He turned around and looked left and right. After finding nothing, he could only concentrate again.

Today, the identity of captain returned to him again, and the familiar burden seemed to be shouldered again.

But before the game, he was also crotching Haikou in the training room. Today, he wants to show his teammates what top tiger status is!
The leaves outside the window fell off in the wind, and the cold night came to Shanghai inadvertently.
