You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 55 It’s not that he needs JDG, but JDG needs him
On September 12, there are only 13 days left until the global finals.

Of course, as the second seed of LPL, JDG does not need to play in the qualifying round. Their first game will be on October 3rd.

Twenty days is enough time to change a lot of things, even enough for a complete novice to grow into an extraordinary master, so JDG still has the opportunity to adjust and polish.

JDG is one of the few LPL teams with a home stadium, located in the 24H Gear Field in Beijing. Ming Jing had just landed at the airport in Beijing with his cousin when he saw someone coming to greet him.

My cousin is quite famous in the e-sports circle, so the person who picked him up at the airport recognized him at a glance.

"Mingjing, right?" The person who came to pick me up was holding a JDG sign and had a smile on his face. "I'm the leader of the JDG team, Mo Jin. You can just call me Momo. Come with me."

Mingjing got on the car and took out his cell phone to report to his parents that he was safe. Then he heard his cousin and the tour leader start talking.

"As I recall, each team only has two spots to sign new players each year. It's already the end of the year, and you haven't used up your spots yet? Can you still sign a contract with Ming Jing?"

"Yes, because our JDG lineup was determined at the beginning of the year and has not changed all year. In addition, the second team's youth training is not very ideal and the results are very poor, so the free signing quota has been vacant."

The reason why I asked my cousin to bring me to this tryout trip to Beijing is mainly because he has a better understanding of the professional league system, and with him leading the way, I will definitely not fall into any pitfalls.

"I was at the club before, and I heard the second team coach rave about Ming Jing." The team leader continued to inquire, "I heard Ming Jing's grades are pretty good?"

"It's really good." Mingkai nodded and said, "I just took the math competition a few days ago and I think I ranked 47th in the country."

These words made MOMO choke.

Is this a very good result?
According to normal cognition, career and study are completely contradictory.

For those who are not so talented, if they study a few more days as students, they may not be able to reach the threshold of the profession!
It is really hard to understand how Ming Jing could reach the top of the national server while participating in competitions.

"So we still have to make sure Mingjing is really capable of starting," the cousin said seriously. "If it's just a substitute position, we won't agree. His time is precious right now, and only a starting spot at the World Championship is worthy of him."

Although this sounded arrogant, MOMO couldn't find any reason to refute it.

The time of youth is more precious than gold, let alone Mingjing, a favorite of God.

"I can't decide that either." Momo said with a wry smile, "After all, Mingjing was specifically asked for by Coach Hongmi. Whether he can start or not depends on the coach's opinion."

After saying that, Momo added, "But I can be sure that as long as Mingjing performs well enough in the training matches, he will definitely get the starting position."

Hearing this, Mingkai also turned around and looked at his cousin in the back row, "What do you mean, are you confident?"

The handsome young man grinned at this and said, "I can guarantee that I can fight better than Loken."

Hearing this, Momo, who was driving, immediately felt ashamed and said, "Don't say this in the club!"

The car slowly drove into a villa area in the capital and stopped at the door of a detached villa.

After getting off the car, Mingjing looked around. There were trees and water around, and the environment was quite pleasant.

JD.com's financial strength is evident from the fact that it was able to purchase a three-story detached villa in Beijing as its base.

"It's only noon now, and the training match doesn't start until 2pm. It's still early." Momo smiled and said, "Put your food aside and have a meal. I asked the chef to cook extra dishes for two people today."

When his cousin heard that he could eat for free, his face became much more energetic, which made Mingjing a little surprised.

Because he remembered that his cousin was not a foodie. But after asking, he found out that JDG's food was famously good, with a specially hired chef in charge. It was normal for anyone who joined JDG to gain a few pounds a year.

JDG's five starting lineups must weigh nearly a thousand pounds combined!

EDG is just the opposite. The food is notoriously bad and the team has a militarized management style.

My cousin has played for EDG for so many years, so you can imagine how deeply he has been poisoned.

After hearing this, Ming Jing suddenly started to think about whether staying in EDG was the right choice.
The two put their backpacks on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, and then followed MOMO to the restaurant.

When I walked over, I saw that the other JDG players were already sitting around the dining table.

After hearing the footsteps of several people, everyone shifted their attention, and then with surprising tacit understanding, they all locked their eyes on Ming Jing!
Ming Jing could feel that the atmosphere was a little awkward at this moment.
Of course, this is normal. After all, from the perspective of a contestant, Ming Jing is not a good person.

Several players have been working together for a year, winning the Spring Championship and the Char Championship, and are about to make their final push for the World Championship.

But at this last moment, someone suddenly came and said he wanted to break them up and take up a starting position?
In the eyes of the players, this is tantamount to stealing the fruits of their labor.

Especially Loken, who had fought with Ming Jing many times before. He stared at Ming Jing closely, wishing he could use his laser eyes to shoot Ming Jing to death!
You’ve beaten me so many times in ranked matches, and now you want to take my starting spot?
Xiba!

Feeling the unfriendly looks from the crowd, Ming Jing did not feel flustered. He smiled and waved to the people in front of him, then found a place to sit down with his cousin.

I have to say that JDG’s food is really good. The Beijing-style chef is in charge of the preparation, and the food is full of color, aroma and taste.

typical!

Ming Jing ate heartily and stuffed himself quickly, then took his backpack with his cousin and went to sit in the training room to warm up his hands.

Mingkai smiled and said, "The people at JD.com don't seem to be very welcoming to you. I see you don't seem to be panicking."

"It's normal that they don't welcome me. After all, they don't know my level." Ming Jing said calmly, "They'll know after the training match."

This kind of weird and awkward atmosphere was not the first time Ming Jing had felt it.

I still remember who welcomed him when he first entered the youth training camp with the number plate AD20.

Even his roommates ignored him.

But so what.

When the youth training camp ended, everyone shouted "Praise God" to him.

Dignity is not something that can be begged for, but something that can be fought for. This is a simple lesson that can be learned from modern history.

Mingjing believes that he is still a long way from becoming a world champion.

However, as a starter for a first-tier team, it is more than enough.

It’s not that he needs JDG, but JDG needs him.

Hearing his cousin's inner strength, Mingkai couldn't help but pat his cousin on the shoulder and said, "With your mentality, you will definitely win a championship in the future."
