The Tianhuan Squad had been training hard in order to prepare for the final game of the playoffs.
Captain Chi was very serious during training. Of course, he had not used the Paladin as a jungler on a whim, but he had practiced for a long time. They had also repeatedly tested the lineups for the finals.
So, how could Chi Shuo have the time to contact Xiao Bai in private? And was he sure that Xiao Bai wanted to join Tianheng?
Coach Lin looked at Chi Shuo in confusion. "When did you contact him?"
Chi Shuo said solemnly, "First, send gifts to his livestream room and add him as a friend. During the match between Jingzhe and Huo Wen in Star City's eSports Center, invite him to the venue. I met him in the audience and took him to the talent test that day. I even pretended to be a Tianheng coach. Cough, he recognized me very quickly. "
Coach Lin was speechless.
No wonder Chi Shuo did not come to the backstage spectator area that day. Someone asked Cheng Xing, and Cheng Xing said that his master might not be feeling well and was staying in the hotel. Not feeling well my ass. Your master pretended to be a coach and met someone in private! He even quickly took that person to the talent test!
Coach Lin did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You really acted quickly. I was thinking of contacting Xiao Bai after the playoffs, but I didn't expect you to beat me to it. "
Chi Shuo looked calm. "I knew Coach Lin would not mind. You were busy studying the tactics for the playoffs, and I happened to have time. I took the initiative to contact Xiao Bai, so that other teams would not beat me to it. "
Lin Feng was a first-generation player in Tianheng. He was more experienced than Chi Shuo's master. He was like a parent in Tianheng, carefully protecting the team. As long as it was for Tianheng, Lin Feng would not be angry with Chi Shuo for acting without permission. This was also the key reason why Chi Shuo dared to contact Xiao Bai in private.
Lin Feng lowered his head and looked at the results of the talent test again.
The talent test was something every professional player had to do. Among the current members of the Tianhuan Squad, Chi Shuo's results were 5S, Cheng Xing's was 1A + 4S, and Qujiang and Qin Yizhu's were 2A + 3S.
Actually, according to the Alliance's requirements, as long as one achieved an A in all five tests, they would be able to play professionally. Hand speed and reaction speed were all innate conditions. The competition also depended on the understanding of the game and the grasp of timing. Therefore, Coach Lin did not believe in the test results. There were also many players with 5A test results who became the A-list of their respective teams.
But if a person's test score was 5S and his understanding of the game was excellent — that would be quite scary! This was equivalent to having the most powerful computer with the best software!
Such a player could only be encountered by chance. Once he appeared, he would be crazily fought over by the various large teams. Fortunately, Chi Shuo acted fast enough. The other teams probably didn't know that Xiao Bai's test results were so outstanding.
Coach Lin looked at Chi Shuo excitedly. "Tell me about him. How old is this kid this year? "
Chi Shuo was silent for a moment and said, "He's not a kid. He's 21 years old this year."
Coach Lin: "…?"
Chi Shuo quickly said, "He's only a mid laner, and he wants to be a starter."
Coach Lin: "???"
The training room fell into an awkward silence.
Chi Shuo had already guessed Coach Lin's reaction. If Xiao Bai was a talented teenager of 17 or 18 years old, Coach Lin might have immediately booked a flight back to Star City to discuss the contract with him. But 21 years old was indeed an awkward age. It was too late to train him from the beginning, and it was too risky to directly be a starter.
Chi Shuo observed Coach Lin's expression and found that his face was alternating between green and white.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling. It was like finding a shiny treasure chest with great difficulty and opening it happily, only to find that the chest contained a message: "Thank you for your patronage."
Coach Lin was silent for a moment and sighed. "What a pity. What a pity."
Chi Shuo said, "I don't think it's a pity."
Coach Lin turned to look at him. "Isn't it a pity that he's only 21 years old? If he debuted at 17 or 18 years old like you, he would be a top player by now. "
Chi Shuo said, "Coach, do you remember how old I am this year?"
Coach Lin blurted out, "You just celebrated your 21st birthday at the beginning of the year, so you should be 22 years old, right?"
Chi Shuo said seriously, "I'm still playing when I'm 22 years old. He's one year younger than me. Why not?"
Coach Lin frowned. "You can't say that. You already have four years of experience in major competitions, and he's still a newbie. A newbie! A 21-year-old newbie has never appeared in the entire Chinese Professional League. "
Chi Shuo asked, "In your opinion, is the most important factor for a player's age?"
Coach Lin immediately denied it. "Of course not. Talent is the most important factor for a player."
Chi Shuo raised his eyebrows. "Isn't Xiao Bai's talent enough? 5S test results, and four heroes in half a month. Many professional players can't necessarily reach his level. "
Coach Lin: "…"
He really couldn't win against Chi Shuo!
Although this guy was usually taciturn, the coaching staff had a hard time convincing him when it came to debating with him. On the contrary, he was the one who convinced the coaches most of the time. For example, it was Chi Shuo who suggested that Cheng Xing be a marksman, and the coaching staff agreed to it in the end.
Chi Shuo wasn't just a team captain. He had his own understanding and insistence on many things. However, Xiao Bai, a 21-year-old newbie, wanted to play in the starting lineup, and he had to go mid? How could the coaching staff compromise on this point?
This was the rhythm of Tianheng's major change of personnel.
Coach Lin frowned. "If Xiao Bai goes mid, what will happen to Qujiang?"
Chi Shuo said, "Qujiang can play support."
Coach Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're making all the arrangements in Qujiang so that you can sign him."
Chi Shuo said seriously, "Qujiang's playstyle is actually more suitable for the support position. He plays the cannon mage and control mage very well, and his performance is very stable. However, his assassination is his weakness. Qujiang can hold the advantage if things go smoothly, but Qujiang can't find a breakthrough with me if things go against me. "
Chi Shuo looked into Coach Lin's eyes and said seriously, "Tianheng's results have been declining in recent years. They are often targeted in the jungle, and they are always in a passive position in competitions. Coach, have you forgotten how we made it to the World Series in the past? "
Mid and jungle coordination.
In the S6 season, Tianheng made it to the World Series because of the mid and jungle coordination.
Team Ming's mid laner and young Chi Shuo's jungler killed wherever they went. If things went smoothly, they could roll economy and quickly win. If things went against them, they could find a breakthrough and assassinate the opponent's core. The Tianheng of that year couldn't be replicated.
However, if there was a well-rounded mid laner who could keep up with Chi Shuo's pace, why would Chi Shuo need to hide his edge and lead the line to play operations, play as a tool to play jungler, and give up all his finances to his teammates?!
Coach Lin suddenly felt a lump in his throat when he thought of this. He knew very well that it wasn't that Chi Shuo's ability had declined. It was just that the current Tianheng couldn't let Chi Shuo's jungler show his true potential.
The opponent's focus was on Chi Shuo. Tianheng's strongest point was this. What could Chi Shuo do?
A single-core team was so restricted that they couldn't unleash their full potential.
Unless there was a second core to help Chi Shuo share the pressure, such as Team Ming in the S6 season. At that time, everyone was focused on the mid lane, and Chi Shuo's jungler had a chance to shine!
Coach Lin was deep in thought.
Chi Shuo knew that Coach Lin was thinking about the possibility of letting Xiao Bai join the team. He didn't interrupt Coach Lin's thoughts. Instead, he opened a form on his computer.
After a while, Coach Lin came back to his senses. When he saw the form, he couldn't help but be surprised. "Xiao Bai's battle record?"
Chi Shuo nodded. "Yes, you can take a look. The four national servers he has now are Lord of the Abyss, Illusionist, Goddess of Frost, and Goddess of Destiny. Do you find anything wrong? "
Coach Lin rubbed his chin and analyzed. "Lord of the Abyss is a Spike Hero, which requires a lot of fine control to control the shadows. Illusionist is also a Spike Hero. This hero's control is relatively simple, but it requires a strong sense of the big picture and a strong sense of the game.
"Goddess of Frost is a classic control mage. It depends on the precise prediction of Freeze skills. Goddess of Destiny is an artillery mage, but she's the most difficult artillery mage to control …"
Speaking up to this point, Coach Lin's eyes suddenly lit up. "Difficult Spikes, Awareness Spikes, Control Mid Laner, and the most difficult Fort Mid Laner — he took these four national servers for the coaches of the major teams to see, right?!"
Chi Shuo smiled with appreciation. "Yes, he's proving himself. He can play any type of Mid Laner hero well."
Coach Lin was speechless.
Four national servers meant four types of Mid Laner heroes.
Most players liked to practice the same type of hero first. For example, some players liked control types. After they mastered Goddess of Frost, they would usually practice Goddess of Ocean, Goddess of Storm, and other control type heroes. It was rare to see someone like Xiao Bai, who practiced one type of hero for each type.
Unless he did it on purpose.
The speed at which he took the national servers was indeed a subtle message to everyone.
I can play all types of mages. I can take as many national servers as I want!
Coach Lin took a deep breath and said, "Are you sure he's not a smurf from some overseas division? If he's a newbie, how can he learn heroes so quickly?! "
Chi Shuo said calmly, "In this world, there are always some extremely talented people who can do things that others can never do in a short time."
Chi Shuo. Back then, it only took a week for Bloodcloak Thorn to enter the national server.
Coach Xu of the Star City Youth Training Base was assassinated by Chi Shuo three times in a row in a ranking match. He discovered this talented young man and took Chi Shuo to the Youth Training Base for training. Later, Chi Shuo was chosen by the Ming team in Tianheng. He was taken in as a disciple and officially started his professional career.
Some people's talent was better than many people's hard work.
If Xiao Bai was such a talented player … 21 years old might not be too late.
After all, he was able to learn new heroes so quickly. This meant that he could adapt to the team very quickly! Even if he only knew four heroes now, he could quickly master the other heroes.
There were still a few months before the start of the next season. If they signed Xiao Bai now, let him join the team, and let him try out in advance, there was still time! After all, Old Nie had retired, and Cheng Xing was the new Marksman. Tianheng's team lineup would definitely need to be adjusted next season. Why not adjust it all at once?
Should Qujiang switch to support? Coach Lin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Although Qu Jiang's performance was not as dazzling as that of the other teams' midlaners, he was the most reliable player in the whole of Tianhuan. His error rate was very low.
However, Qujiang's hand speed and anti-interference test were only A grades. His reaction speed was not fast enough. Therefore, he was better at controlling rather than surprise attacks.
A control-type support was also very important. A good support could directly rush into the crowd and control two or three people on the opposite side. He could even flash to the back row to control the two C's and help his teammates win the team battle quickly.
Coach Lin gently clenched his fist. He felt his heart beating faster and faster. He realized that Chi Shuo was right! If Qujiang switched to support, Xiao Xing's instability could be solved by Qujiang. A new Marksman paired with a support who knew the team very well. Even if the bottom lane could not defeat the opponent, at least it would not collapse!
As for the midlaner, if he chose a midlaner with excellent awareness who could coordinate with Chi Shuo, the pressure on Chi Shuo would be greatly reduced.
The next season's Tianheng would be a combination of midlaners and junglers. They would be paired with a top laner who could resist pressure, a very stable support, and a talented new Marksman!
Although the lineup had changed a lot, it was possible to break through the predicament.
It was even possible to compete in the World Series!
So what if he was 21 years old? Xiao Bai's talent was visible to the naked eye. His 5S grade meant that his reaction speed and hand speed were not worse than a 17- or 18-year-old teenager's!
Coach Lin was so excited that his eyes turned red. He hurriedly said, "Hurry up and contact Xiao Bai. Tell him that I want to talk to him face to face! I'm guessing that our team is not the only one keeping an eye on him. The other teams must have seen the deeper meaning behind him taking the four national heroes, especially Northern Shepherd! Northern Shepherd's midlaner is their weakness. If Northern Shepherd poached Xiao Bai, the consequences would be unimaginable! "
Northern Shepherd's best players were the Zhao siblings. Their midlaner was average. If Xiao Bai joined Northern Shepherd, how would the other teams play? If they could not defeat the top laner, bottom laner, and middle laner?
Chi Shuo had already thought of this possibility. That was why he made the first move. He wanted to get Xiao Bai to like him. Didn't he succeed in getting Xiao Bai to join them?
Chi Shuo turned on his phone and showed Coach Lin the conversation record.
Since I've agreed to join Tianheng, I won't join any other team.
Coach Lin's eyes curved into crescents when he saw Xiao Bai's words. He patted Chi Shuo's shoulder and said, "You're really the most responsible team leader. You've done half of the coach's work for me! Should I give you my next month's salary? "
Chi Shuo said, "That's not necessary. I'll fight for Xiao Bai's signing fee when the time comes."
Coach Lin nodded. "Of course. We'll sign Xiao Bai, not a rookie. We'll give him the same treatment as a main player." Coach Lin paused and asked with concern, "By the way, is Xiao Bai an Alpha, or …?"
Chi Shuo remembered the familiar smell of Alpha pheromone concealer that he had smelled in the arena. He nodded firmly and said, "Yes, he's an Alpha."
