Back at base.
When Lee Doo-hwan arrived at the training room, he found everyone else training intensely, which pleased him greatly.
However, after putting the baseball bat away, just as he was about to rest, he heard the system notification sound again.
[Ding! Mission issued!]
[Mission Name: Club Martial Arts Tournament!]
[Mission Introduction: The ambitions of the Samsung Gang are well known; they have always wanted to replace the local gang as the number one gang.]
They're getting more and more restless these days. If they dare to play the trap today, they'll try to sabotage us next time!
As the saying goes, "To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!" To counter all the conspiracies and schemes of the Samsung Hall, the gang's most urgent task is to enhance its own strength!
[Task Reward: Extensive legal knowledge!]
Hearing the system's instructions, Lee Doo-hwan took a deep breath.
Although the system did not tell him how to complete the task, he was not alone.
You can deduce something from the name of the task!
It's simply about having club members compete against each other to improve their skills.
Of course, that's not necessary here; just let them solo in the game.
However, this reward was something that Lee Doo-hwan really didn't quite understand.
When did the underworld start paying attention to this kind of thing?!
After letting out a slight sigh, Lee Doo-hwan, who had originally planned to rest, called everyone else over.
At his invitation, several juniors who had finished training came to him and stood obediently in a row.
"Where's Jung-soo?!"
Lee Doo-hwan's tone was somewhat displeased.
However, almost as soon as he finished speaking, Kim Jung-soo's voice came from the training room door.
"Dou-hwan hyung, I'm here—"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of jogging could be heard.
Lee Doo-hwan snorted coldly as he watched Kim Jung-soo rush in and stand in a line next to the others.
This made Kim Jung-soo's heart start pounding.
He looked at the baseball bat in Lee Doo-hwan's hand, his throat tightened, and he couldn't help but swallow.
The main reason is that he heard it from Lee Sang-hyeok today.
I heard that Lee Doo-hwan and his group went to Samsung today, and Lee Doo-hwan even had the mid-laner deliver a baseball bat over there, so it's really hard for Kim Jung-soo not to think about other things.
maybe----
The opponent's baseball bat skills have improved after learning from Master An!
"Dou-hwan hyung, why did you call us so late?"
Kim Jung-soo asked cautiously, afraid that he might accidentally become the one to receive a gentle lecture.
"Jung-soo, do you think I can't call you guys?!"
"No, no!"
Upon hearing this, Kim Jung-soo immediately shook his head.
"Brother called you guys over so late, there must be something important to announce."
Lee Doo-hwan coughed, then slowly stood up with a baseball bat in hand.
"The MSC China-Korea showdown has now ended, and there is still a long time before the Summer Season."
Even though the days without matches are our holidays, we must not let our guard down!
So starting tomorrow, I'm planning to hold a Solo tournament at our base!
"You need to understand that although League of Legends is a team game, its essence still depends on your individual skill!"
If your individual skill level isn't high enough, you'll probably get overtaken by your opponent in lane before you even get to team fights!
Therefore, to prevent this from happening, you must improve your laning ability!
After saying that, Lee Doo-hwan held the baseball bat in one hand and gently tapped it against the palm of his other hand.
"Do you guys think what I said makes sense?"
"have!!!"
The young mid-laner stood tall and proud, speaking with unwavering loyalty.
The others glanced at the baseball bat in Lee Doo-hwan's hand and nodded in agreement.
"Very good!" Lee Doo-hwan smiled upon seeing this.
"Then let's start training your laning skills tomorrow!"
"Um, Doo-hwan hyung, do I want to participate too?
After hesitating for a long time, Kim Jung-soo finally asked the question.
"Jung-soo, what do you think?" Lee Doo-hwan asked instead of answering.
"I think I don't need to—"
As soon as Kim Jung-soo finished speaking, he saw Lee Doo-hwan's eyes turn cold, and the hand holding the baseball bat seemed to be about to be raised.
This prompted Lee Doo-hwan, who had been observing him intently, to quickly change his tune.
"Dou-hwan, I've been thinking about it, and I think that as a coach, I should set an example!"
So I'm participating too!
"Jing-soo, as a coach, you can't just talk the talk; you need to have real-world experience too!"
You need to know that unexpected situations can occur during a competition, which is the biggest variable in a competition.
Furthermore, as a coach, if you don't have strong abilities, why should others respect you?
What do you think?
Am I right, brother?
"Yes, yes, hyung Doo-hwan is right." Kim Jung-soo didn't dare to have any objections and nodded quickly.
He also knew that Lee Doo-hwan was doing this in order to reduce his influence within the team.
Imagine if you were a coach and couldn't even beat your own players, how could you lead the team and discipline them?
This is why the LCK places great importance on hierarchical traditions, so the players didn't dare to say anything. If it were the LPL, they probably would have quit long ago.
But then again, even though you might not be able to beat others in a solo match, which could lower your prestige within the team, it's still better than getting beaten up!
Kim Jung-soo glanced at Lee Doo-hwan, then at the baseball bat he was holding, and took a deep breath.
"Alright, everyone go and rest."
After explaining everything, Lee Doo-hwan waved his hand gently.
Following his actions, the group of people also left the training room and went to rest.
The night passed quickly.
The next day, after waking up, Lee Doo-hwan quickly washed up, had breakfast in the cafeteria, and then called the others together.
Because there weren't enough people, he even called over the second team.
Looking at Zeus and Little Lu Bu, whose faces still showed signs of youth, Lee Doo-hwan reached out and gently patted their shoulders.
"I remember your name is Cui Youqi. You'd better do your best later and don't let me down!"
Encouraged by Lee Doo-hwan, Zeus, whose face still showed signs of immaturity, nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, Doo-hwan hyung, I'll definitely do my best!"
"Alright, in that case, let's officially begin the first T1 Martial Arts Tournament!"
Upon hearing Lee Doo-hwan's voice, a big question mark involuntarily appeared above everyone's heads.
What the heck is a martial arts tournament?!
However, no one thought much of it, since they had already gotten used to Lee Doo-hwan's neuroticism.
Only Gu Shengbin secretly resolved that he must take Da Guo to get his brain checked out sometime, otherwise Da Guo's mental health would inevitably suffer sooner or later if things continued like this.
After all, Da Guo doesn't drink or smoke, so he doesn't even have a way to pass the time.
"And what about me?"
When Kim Jung-soo saw that everyone else was doing solos while he was getting a bye, he suddenly had a bad feeling, so he asked a question.
"You?" Lee Doo-hwan grinned when he heard the question.
"Come to the gym with me, let's work out alone!"
"What do you mean?" Kim Jung-soo's mind clearly didn't process it at first.
"What do you mean? I already said it's a martial arts tournament. How can it only have intellectual competition without any physical combat?!"
Besides, I'm giving you a chance!
You should cherish this opportunity!
"Give me a chance!?" Kim Jung-soo almost cursed.
I just don't like the look of you, and I simply want to beat you up!
Facing Kim Jung-soo, who looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, Lee Doo-hwan gave him an innocent smile before speaking earnestly and considerately.
"Jung-soo, do you really think you can beat me in a solo game?"
I'm not looking down on you, it's just that in the game, someone like you who has no practical experience and only talks the talk will only lose even more miserably!
Only physical combat is your only chance!
So I'm giving you a chance, a chance to get revenge on me. Don't be ungrateful!
Upon hearing this, Kim Jung-soo also felt that it made sense.
After all, as a coach, he only talks the talk, and besides, he's already thirty-five years old, so his reaction time has declined significantly.
If it were a one-on-one duel in the Rift, he definitely wouldn't be a match for Lee Doo-hwan. "Alright!"
Thinking of this, Kim Jung-soo subconsciously responded.
However, he regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.
as predicted!
After he finished speaking, Lee Doo-hwan immediately changed his attitude.
"Damn it, Jingzhu, you really want to get revenge on your brother, don't you!"
Looks like I need to have a proper sparring session with you!
The day passed quickly.
The martial arts tournament started quickly and ended quickly.
After successfully completing the task issued by the dog system, Lee Doo-hwan also received the reward for completing the task.
Although I don't understand why someone involved in the underworld would study law, but—
-
Something is better than nothing!
As for Kim Jung-soo—
After a physical altercation with Lee Doo-hwan, he began to walk with a limp again.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing the other person's condition, Lee Doo-hwan also spoke up to express his concern.
"Lee—" Kim Jung-soo's head went blank, and he was about to blurt it out subconsciously.
Fortunately, the pain that was surging through his body reminded him and made him change his mind in time, "Brother Douhuan, don't go too far!"
What you're doing is violating our local laws!
Hearing Kim Jung-soo say the most cowardly thing in the most forceful tone, Lee Doo-hwan also spoke up without hesitation.
"According to Article 1232 of your regulations—"
Kim Jung-soo was dumbfounded when he heard Lee Doo-hwan rattle off information that even he, a local, had to look up online.
However, before he could even consider whether what Lee Doo-hwan said was true or false, he was greeted with a new round of martial arts combat!
After the fight ended once again, Kim Jung-soo, still limping, returned to his dormitory and immediately took out his phone to check the information carefully.
It would have been better if he hadn't investigated; once he did, he was on the verge of a complete breakdown!
Yes, Lee Doo-hwan, as a foreigner, knows the local rules better than this native!
No wonder this kid is so confident; it turns out he understands everything perfectly.
How the hell can we play like this?!
Kim Jung-soo was somewhat desperate.
In the following period, since the summer season had not yet started, Lee Doo-hwan spent his days supervising the training of his juniors and urging Jung Hoe-yoon to deal with GimGoon.
It's worth noting that the previous year's world champion is someone that other teams are scrambling to recruit the following year. For example, Jiang Chenglu's value skyrocketed after winning the championship, and his fan base grew exponentially.
No matter how bad things get, the champion team from the previous year will at least have the same roster the following year, no matter what!
But GimGoon was different; he was relegated to the bench the following year, which was quite unexpected.
But there was nothing that could be done, since GimGoon sacrificed his role as the pressure-bearer when Phoenix won the championship.
Therefore, his performance may not be well-liked by the public.
But in reality, even if GimGoon wasn't the primary contributor to Phoenix's victory, he should be ranked second.
Extreme resilience, giving opponents no chance, and even after being heavily targeted, still able to deal high damage and contribute to the team, he is a typical top laner who doesn't take any damage and just squeezes blood out of the enemy.
If it were someone like Jiang Chenglu, Little Phoenix probably wouldn't have stood a chance.
Since this is a major event concerning whether the club can win the championship and can also affect his position, Jung Hoi-yoon is very concerned about it.
"Doo-hwan, don't worry, I'll definitely talk to them properly!"
"Hey Run, take this seriously!" Lee Doo-hwan emphasized to the other party.
However, he felt there shouldn't be any problems. After all, since Khan joined FPX, GimGoon hadn't played a single game. Obviously, FPX's management brought in an aggressive top laner like Khan because they realized that the upcoming meta would be unfavorable for FPX after their championship win, so they wanted to make some changes.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.
Khan and Little Phoenix's preferred four-man 2-man system are completely incompatible!
You can't want to keep the original gameplay while also making changes to the top lane.
As the saying goes, you can't have everything you want!
However, this is a good thing for T1, as it makes negotiations much easier.
Rather than keeping the other person on the team, the management of Little Phoenix should be happy to save a sum of money.
Days passed by one by one!
That day, Lee Doo-hwan got up very early and went to take a walk around the base entrance.
Unfortunately, he had just stepped out of the base when he spotted a young man.
The other person was wearing glasses, pulling luggage, and holding a phone with a black screen.
At this moment, he was constantly looking towards the T1 building.
After observing for a while, I turned my attention back to my phone.
"Who are you looking for?" Lee Doo-hwan walked over and asked softly.
As Lee Doo-hwan asked the question, the other person slowly raised his head.
Upon seeing that it was Lee Doo-hwan, a look of excitement clearly flashed in the other person's eyes!
"Brother Douhuan! I'm here for an interview. My name is Wen Xuanjun!"
I took the bus here very early this morning, but unfortunately my phone died, so I couldn't contact the senior who invited me to the interview.
At this point, a look of frustration appeared on Oner's face.
After all, encountering a dead phone battery at this time is indeed a very bad thing for him.
It would be a huge loss to miss an interview opportunity because of something so trivial!
"So you've just been waiting here all this time!?" Lee Doo-hwan asked.
Although South Korea isn't particularly cold in May, it can still be a bit chilly in the early mornings.
Lee Doo-hwan was not surprised that the other party knew him.
As the only four-time champion in League of Legends, he still has that much prestige!
"I had no choice, this was a rare opportunity—" Oner scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat reserved.
Actually, his family wasn't well-off, and his parents were always arguing, which made him somewhat introverted and insecure.
His phone ran out of battery not because he forgot to charge it, but because the phone was old and couldn't hold the battery.
This interview at T1 was the first time in his life that he had been so far from home and away from Gwangju.
The young man carried with him a determination to succeed or die trying!
"Come in with me."
Lee Doo-hwan glanced at it, then turned and walked towards the base.
Upon hearing this, Oner quickly grabbed his luggage and followed.
Upon entering the base, Lee Doo-hwan asked the other party to leave his luggage at the front desk, and then led him to the T1 building, the floor where League of Legends was located.
However, on the way there, Oner's stomach suddenly started rumbling.
"Haven't eaten yet?" Lee Doo-hwan turned and glanced at him.
When Lee Doo-hwan asked him about it, Oner wanted to say that he had already eaten.
But when they met each other's eyes, they swallowed back the lie they were about to tell and nodded instead.
"I haven't eaten yet."
"Then let me take you to eat first."
After saying that, Lee Doo-hwan led Oner to the cafeteria.
At this moment, the T1 players were all ready to eat in the cafeteria.
After all, Lee Doo-hwan said yesterday that there would be a solo competition today, so they definitely couldn't possibly stay in bed.
Upon seeing Lee Doo-hwan bring in a stranger, Koo Sung-bin asked him a question.
"Hey, who is this guy?"
"I'm here for an interview," Lee Doo-hwan replied.
As a pillar industry in South Korea, esports has a complete system, so it pays great attention to cultivating and discovering talented players.
As one of the leading esports clubs in South Korea, T1 naturally cannot have only one team.
Even if the current team doesn't lack players, they will continue to scout out new talent and train them.
Even if you don't use it yourself, you can sell it to someone else later.
Seeing Oner, who was dressed lightly and seemed a little reserved, Lee Doo-hwan smiled and said, "Just take whatever you want to eat, don't be shy."
"Thank you, Doo-hwan hyung." Oner said thank you, and then at Lee Doo-hwan's signal, picked up a plate, filled it with breakfast, and sat down in a corner to start eating voraciously.
It was clear he was really hungry; after finishing a full plate, he went and got another one for himself.
While he was eating, Gu Shengbin, who had already finished eating, came over and asked him some questions in a disjointed manner.
"Kid, which position are you trying out for?"
