Compared to training and being criticized, gossiping was undoubtedly more relaxing and enjoyable.
Therefore, when the topic of their president's idol was brought up, Wu Tian, Zhou Yang, and Zhu Ming were all energized. They reported to Mu Qiu at once.
After listening to them, Mu Qiu showed a look of understanding. He nodded and looked at Sun Zheng.
"That means …"
"In terms of playstyle, it does seem to fit the bill."
His previous evaluation of Sun Zheng was that out of the 70 points, Sun Zheng's individual maneuvering ability was barely passable. The main reason for his high score was the president of the esports club's mid-late game team fighting ability.
Coincidentally, this was the specialty of the current LPL and even the world's number one top-laner, KG Team "Circle God". It was the specialty that was most praised in the esports circle.
"To be honest, there are indeed many top top-laners in the world's professional esports circle.
"There's Seve in North America.
。”
"There's Korea's The-Swo.
"There's SSK's Wolf.
"The old top-laners in the European region are definitely not weak.
"However, I think that in terms of overall strength, the Circle God is still better than the other top-notch single-headed beings."
When it came to the idol he admired the most, even Sun Zheng could not help but become talkative. When he spoke of the most exciting part, his face even flushed with excitement.
"Logically speaking, Circle God's individual maneuvering may not be better than others.
"However, in terms of understanding the role of the top-laner in a team, as well as handling team battles in the mid-late game, Circle God is definitely the best top-laner in the world!"
Speaking of this, Sun Zheng looked a little ashamed.
"I've been studying Circle God's competition videos since a long time ago. I wanted to learn, but I've only scratched the surface. In fact, I'm too embarrassed to tell others that I'm following Circle God's style. I'm afraid that I'll embarrass Circle God."
Mu Qiu laughed when he heard this.
"It's not embarrassing."
"Your understanding of team battles in the mid-late game between Kenan and Gnar was pretty good. It's a little like that guy. Even if he were here, he would probably praise you sincerely."
His words seemed to have inadvertently referred to the LPL's strongest top laner as "that guy".
Mu Qiu did not give the people in the room any more time to ponder over his words. He glanced at Sun Zheng and continued.
"However, a team battle is one thing."
"To be a truly qualified top laner, you can't just focus on team battles."
"Even if it's your idol, he's not bad at all. Although he's a little less aggressive, that's only in comparison to the other top offensive players."
"His style … is both offensive and defensive."
"So, if you want to learn from him, you have to think about practicing your own matchmaking skills first."
Sun Zheng listened and nodded solemnly. Wu Tian could not help but interrupt and defend his president.
"Coach, actually, our president's matchmaking isn't bad either …"
Mu Qiu quirked an eyebrow.
"Just a passing grade."
"It's enough for him to be in the Diamond or Master division."
"But if he wants to go further, he has to make up for his weakness in personal control. Speaking of which, didn't you guys want to make it a few more rounds in the regional qualifiers?"
"The crux of the matter lies with him."
…
It was basically impossible to improve the overall strength of a team by a huge level in just a month and a half.
This was what Mu Qiu said to Xia Ziyou, Sun Zheng, and the others.
According to his assessment, with the strength of the team formed by the five people in the room, it should not be difficult for them to make it to the top 32 in Min Province's Xia City division. As for the top 16, it would depend on luck. As long as they did not encounter any particularly difficult opponents too early, they could still make it. However, it would be difficult for them to make it to the top eight or even the top four.
However, it was not completely impossible.
The key point was that although the overall strength of the team of five people in the room was only above the Diamond division, Sun Zheng, a Master division top laner, was enough to be their trump card in the regional qualifiers.
If it was just an ordinary Master level player, it would not be a big deal.
And Sun Zheng's individual ability might not be considered outstanding, but his awareness in the middle and late stages of the team … was enough to be regarded as half a professional level player.
To put it bluntly —
The biggest winning magic weapon of this team was the top laner.
So, if they wanted to go further in their results, the most direct and effective way was to further play the role of the top laner, which was their strongest point.
"Right now, it just so happens that the top laner version is strong."
"A good top laner is equivalent to at least more than 50% of a team's combat strength."
"If you can do this well and play it to the extreme —"
"Let's not talk about anything else. It won't be difficult to make it to the top eight or the top four in the Xia City division. If you work hard toward the top 16 in the Min Province division, it's not impossible."
After leaving these words and letting Xia Ziyou, Sun Zheng, and the others start a new round of ranking and watch the game, Mu Qiu once again leisurely left the room and returned to the front desk to continue his work as a network manager.
The remaining people in the room looked at each other. Their fighting spirit and fighting spirit had been completely ignited by the words just now, and they could see the excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes.
Xia Ziyou patted Sun Zheng on the shoulder.
"Did you hear what our coach said just now?"
"Work hard from now on! Our team's results will depend on you, Great President Sun! "
Sun Zheng nodded with a wry smile.
"I'll try my best —"
On one hand, his fighting spirit had been ignited by Mu Qiu's words, but on the other hand, he knew his own limitations. Even though he had woken up and realized his flaws as a top laner, it wasn't that easy to make up for his lack of individual control in lane.
Next … it was indeed destined to take a lot of hard work.
Next to him, Zhu Ming could not help but sigh.
"Ah, speaking of individual play …"
"Although our coach's main focus is on support, he can suppress you in solo as a top laner. I don't know how strong he is …"
Zhou Yang also nodded.
"Yes, yes, that kind of play … is really scary!"
"Logically speaking, if you can have the same level of play as the coach, you'll probably meet the requirements, right?"
Sun Zheng nodded and then shook his head, sighing.
"That kind of level … it's not easy to catch up."
Wu Tian also showed a look of agreement. "Really, I've never seen such sharp play, and such ridiculously strong team fighting and commanding ability. Professional players feel like this is also the level — Sister Xiaoyou, can you give us a hint? What's the background of this coach? With this level, there's no reason for him to just be an Internet cafe manager. "
The other three also nodded again. Zhu Ming was still a little unwilling to give up.
"Can't we talk to our coach?"
"If he joins our team, we won't just be in the top 16 in Min Province, we really have a chance of making it to the LSPL …"
Xia Ziyou sighed.
"It's useless for you to say that to me."
"If you're so capable, go talk to him later. If you can convince him, you're good!"
The other boys did not hear the helplessness in Xia Ziyou's tone. They looked at each other as if they had made up their minds.
No matter what …
They had to try!
