Chapter 1: I was fired for telling you not to order takeout?
"Chen Song, I'm so sorry!"
Shanghai, 2019.
A staff member from the LNG Club handed a cardboard box to Chen Song, who was standing at the door.
Seeing that he didn't reach out, the man bent down, put the box aside, and silently returned to the club.
On the bustling street, passersby would occasionally cast strange glances at them.
Chen Song remained calm, only glancing briefly at the cardboard box at his feet before bending down and lifting it with one hand.
He didn't glance at the LNG club again, turned around, and strode into the bustling crowd.
Cause a scene at the club?
And then be watched like a clown?
No need!
It's precisely because under Zhu Kai's leadership, LNG's performance has been getting worse and worse, and its rules have become increasingly lax.
He couldn't stand it any longer, so he bravely stepped forward and went to Zhu Kai's office to offer some suggestions.
They simply wanted Zhu Kai to stop asking the players if they wanted to order takeout while they were practicing.
When Zhu Kai heard this suggestion that day, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your valuable opinion."
the next day.
LNG Club unilaterally dismissed Chen Song, citing the tactical analyst's overreach of authority.
In his view, he had only raised a perfectly normal issue, yet he was fired?
If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will!
To be honest, Chen Song didn't care at all about whether he could find a new team before the summer season after being kicked out of LNG.
For someone who went from a Grand Slam player to a Grand Slam coach, finding a job in the esports industry is as easy as drinking water.
It's hard to believe his story.
That's right, he doesn't belong to this world; he's a time traveler.
Before his transmigration, he was a world-renowned e-sports god, rising from a Grand Slam player to a Grand Slam coach, reaching heights that no one else in the e-sports world could achieve.
However, fate played a cruel joke on him, and he was transported to this world.
The original owner of this body, like him, was also named Chen Song and was a tactical analyst for the LNG club.
Fortunately, he discovered that the League of Legends in this world was the same League of Legends he was familiar with.
They come, the security.
I had hoped to shine here and lead LNG to great success.
Unexpectedly, as he gradually adapted to this new world over the past few days and discovered the atmosphere of the club, his understanding was completely overturned.
So, Zhu Kai, the head coach, is not best at tactical training, but rather at ordering takeout for the players?
What's even more ridiculous is that in the club, the players have a much higher status than the coaches, especially the star players. The coaches even have to be mindful of their moods. It's like the tables have turned!
This is not over yet.
As a superpower on Earth, how come it only has one championship trophy in the history of esports?
Especially among professional esports players, there are things like AFK (away from keyboard) taking showers, picking up girls in the game, and even acting as actors during matches...
What the hell?!
How come it hasn't had any impact at all after all this?
In his world, the LPL is the undisputed king of the league, and other regions are the only ones who come to learn from it and buy foreign players.
When did it become like this?
......
Chen Song wasn't flustered at all.
After sending out two resumes, I was already deciding which club to choose.
But the interviews he went through over the next two days finally broke him down.
He submitted his resume to two clubs: VG, which was at the bottom of the LPL standings, and RNG, which was ranked fourth.
VG had just agreed to give him an interview a second ago, but the next second they heard that he had been fired by LNG and immediately withdrew the offer.
The process with RNG went surprisingly smoothly, but when it came time to sign the contract, the letter of intent left him completely dumbfounded.
"I thought the LNG club was already surprising enough, but I didn't expect there to be an even more ruthless one here."
……
"call!"
Chen Song took a deep breath, putting the past few days' experiences behind him, and walked into the EDG club base.
Compared to LNG, where all you can see at the front desk is takeout, EDG's situation is worlds apart.
A young woman wearing glasses was standing at the front desk. Seeing Chen Song enter, she politely asked, "Hello! Who are you looking for?"
Chen Song replied with a smile, "My name is Chen Song, and I'm here for an interview as a tactical analyst."
"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."
Upon hearing this, the receptionist gave a standard smile, picked up the internal phone, and was about to dial when the crisp sound of leather shoes tapping on the floor came from behind her.
Chen Song turned around and saw a man in a well-tailored suit, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and with a smile on his lips walking towards him.
The receptionist immediately put down her phone upon seeing the man, her tone filled with respect: "Coach Heart, this Mr. Chen is here for an interview."
Heart walked over, smiled and nodded at Chen Song, then looked at the receptionist and said in broken Chinese, "Please call a translator for me."
Unexpectedly, Chen Song suddenly spoke up, saying in Korean, "Hello Coach Heart, I'm here to apply for the position of tactical analyst."
Do you speak Korean?
Heart's eyes widened in surprise, and her impression of Chen Song improved considerably.
Chen Song nodded: "I studied in South Korea for two years and studied diligently during that time. Although I wouldn't say I'm an expert, I have no problem with daily communication."
Heart joked that his Chinese wasn't as good as Chen Song's Korean. Then, led by Chen Song, the two headed up to the second floor. During the walk, Heart asked, "I heard from HR that you were voluntarily laid off by LNG?"
Chen Song didn't hide anything and roughly recounted what had happened. Heart sneered inwardly upon hearing this, as the coaching circle had already been talking about Zhu Kai's deeds for a long time.
"Welcome to the EDG club base. Let me show you around our players' training room first."
As they spoke, the two went outside the training room.
After scanning the training room, Chen Song couldn't help but sigh that the EDG base was incomparable to the LNG base in every aspect.
In the neatly arranged and tidy training room, the athletes are wearing headphones and staring intently at the screen, training diligently.
Chen Song scanned through the contestants one by one, combining the information with the contestant data he already knew.
Meiko is the team's strategist and the most important brain of EDG.
iBoy, hailed as a genius AD carry, possesses top-tier skills and reflexes; several of his god-like reactions remain vivid in his memory.
Scout, the mid-laner, is the absolute core of the team and an absolute carry player.
Clearlove, a jungler, is nicknamed "Factory Director". The most common comment about him online is the "4396" meme.
Next to him stood a tall young man, staring intently at Clearlove's computer screen.
Sitting next to Clearlove was a completely unfamiliar face, probably EDG's newly recruited top laner. Chen Song stared at his screen and noticed that the champion he was playing was Riven, the Exile.
Chen Song's gaze was fixed, as if deep in thought.
As one of the three original teams in League of Legends, it boasts a far superior number of championship honors.
The club's atmosphere and management are unique in the esports industry, combining semi-military management with corporate operations.
In Chen Song's view, a disciplined club that could develop in an orderly manner perfectly met his expectations.
