Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 44 A fight to the death!

The weather in Shanghai in March is gradually warming up. By mid-March, it's warm enough to wear a long-sleeved shirt, and the spring breeze doesn't feel icy cold.

However, Abu at the EDG base looked as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he looked extremely haggard.

"I know... the team is indeed having some mental issues right now."

"Don't worry, boss, I'll handle it. We'll end our four-game losing streak in the next game, and then go on a winning streak until the playoffs!"

"Quick Star, indeed his tactical skills are a bit lacking, his tactical reserves are insufficient, and he can't be flexible and adaptable."

“We’ll definitely change coaches next season… Now we need to find out the reasons properly, otherwise things would have inexplicably turned out like this.” Ed Zhu was well aware of this, but he had already reached a verbal agreement with Nofe.

With a top-tier coach in the summer split, plus iboy, the full roster could be ready to make a big splash.

If we make another run at the World Championship, we can definitely make history.

Abu hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ed Zhu gets along well with everyone in private and can joke around like a friend, he is not a bad person.

But a boss is a boss after all...

If you truly treat him as a friend, then you're not far from being kicked out.

Just like the teacher said, treat the school like your own home, but can you really treat it like your own home?

After listening to what the translator said, Kuai Xing, who was standing at the door, suddenly turned very dark.

Is the four-game losing streak just a tactical problem?

The players' form is also a major problem; from top lane to bottom lane, they're all playing defensively.

How can we simply attribute the problem to him?
At this moment, I was burning with anger, but as the manager, Abu was the most powerful person in the League of Legends division, and all personnel arrangements were made according to his orders.

Even if he wanted to refute it, he couldn't.

The translator at the entrance wasn't from the EDG club, but someone he brought with him.

After all, there are contracts and other issues involving interests. If it were an EDG club staff member, QuickStar was worried that they might mistranslate and deceive him.

In this situation, he naturally brought a translator from outside.

After entering Abu's office, Quickstar didn't care what Abu was saying; his mind was filled with thoughts of being kicked out of the office after Springtime ended.

He felt humiliated...

We brought them in from South Korea, and they're going to be the ones to beat us in one season.

To be honest, he is extremely angry right now.

Abu was also puzzled by Quickstar's expression, because he hadn't said anything sharp.

The goal was to encourage a fast-paced star... They made a lot of promises, and the purpose was simple: to get him to do his best to finish the Spring Split.

If someone knew in advance that they were going to be kicked out, needless to say, they definitely wouldn't be focused on their work; instead, they'd be thinking about causing trouble and giving up.

The priority now is stability...

Judging from the fact that Faststar wasn't in a good state, it's speculated that it might be because the team had suffered four consecutive losses, which affected his mood.

Finally, he patted Quickstar on the shoulder and told him to go back and rest, and then they would review yesterday's game that night.

As for the discussions on Weibo, Abu didn't dare to look at them at all.

My daily routine usually consists of checking Weibo to see if anything interesting is happening.

However, after yesterday's four-game losing streak, the fans' offensive power was beyond imagination. Even though he had seen it many times before, he still couldn't hold back. On the trending topics list, the hashtag #EDGFourGamesLongLoss# was prominently displayed, followed by a glaring "Explosive" word.

Clicking in revealed a chaotic mess of curses.

They even brought up things that happened last month.

For the IEM tournament, because he couldn't attend but didn't want other teams to steal the spotlight, he claimed his visa hadn't been approved. Angry fans blamed the Polish embassy for it all, but then a dramatic turn of events occurred...

The Polish embassy actually replied, stating that they had not received EDG's visa application.

This situation led to the creation of Blitz Poland in the esports world.

The fans held back then, but now that the results are like this, it's backfiring. It just goes to show that the more fans there are, the harsher the criticism will be; the saying "one fan is worth ten haters" is really not an exaggeration...

[Disband them, seriously, it disgusts me. From the coach to the players, not a single one of them is human.]

What kind of expensive coach is this? What kind of garbage drafts and bans are they making?

Top laner wandering around, jungler sleepwalking, mid laner Earthbound, AD carry dying instantly, support lost! Five people can't even muster one brain!

[Aidezhu's money is so easy to swindle; this is what they get after such an investment?]

[It would be better to let Unreal Engine play; they're going to lose anyway, so letting them play would generate more buzz and allow them to shift the blame.]

No, Unreal is very popular now, and EDG players can't compete with them anymore. They also have to participate in the SSC Spring Split finals in May.

Li Fan was initially the least liked by EDG fans, but now he's become the most liked. This is because Li Fan didn't play in the matches, and the PUBG videos have gone viral.

Various memorable moments, such as refusing to duo queue with his sister, blowing up four people with a grenade to win a chicken dinner, and the spray-throwing tutorial... The official PUBG account sent a message of thanks, thanking Li Fan for making their videos trend on social media.

Sales are doubling every single day.

The data released by Weibo shows that 300,000 copies have already been sold. Based on this, many people analyze that breaking one million copies in a month is not a problem at all.

Of course, Li Fan didn't think this was his achievement.

According to the data, PUBG sold over one million copies in fifteen days and two million copies in a month. It was an extremely phenomenal game with an exaggerated snowball effect, selling over twenty million copies in just six months. And this is only the number of copies sold in China.

Otherwise, Wei Shen wouldn't have decided to switch to becoming a PUBG player after the game had only been online for a month and a half.

After all, League of Legends is developing so well, and this year's World Championship is being held in China.

However, from the perspective of casual observers, the sheer number of trending topics and videos, coupled with the official gratitude, means that the game's rapid expansion into the mainstream is entirely due to Li Fan's efforts.

In this way, the original bad impression was really reversed.

Because a League of Legends player doesn't just play one game.

I found PUBG interesting and started playing it.

But learning a game definitely requires instruction, and Li Fan, who frequently made memorable plays, naturally became the first choice.

"I've explained this to everyone many times already. The flick shot is an extremely quick maneuver where you fling out the shotgun and then quickly return to your starting position..."

"If you can't control the rhythm well, S1897 is a good way to practice."

He began teaching as he spoke.

Quickstar, who had just returned to the training room, heard a sound coming from the corner and his eyes lit up...

Isn't a victory achieved even if it means mutual destruction a victory?
