There were six people in the IF team's training room. Apart from the five players who were training, there was also a team leader.
At the moment, the clubs in the country weren't very formal. They didn't have a dedicated tactical coach. The lineups were all decided by the players. The tactics they used were all up to the players.
Apart from being in charge of the players' daily lives, schedules, and training, the team leader also shared some of the responsibilities of a coach, such as collecting information on other teams or arranging mock matches for the players.
However, the opinions of most of the club leaders weren't taken seriously. After all, these leaders were ranked lower than the others. In front of these professional players who were easily at the level of a king, their suggestions would seem like a child's play in front of an expert.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Chen Mo push open the door.
The IF team leader recognized Sun Xiao who was behind Chen Mo. He asked, "Director Sun, this is …"
Before Sun Xiao could reply, one of the IF players shouted, "Chen Mo? You're Chen Mo! "
The others also recognized Chen Mo after this shout. It was Chen Mo, the designer of LoL!
Most of them had seen Chen Mo's photo before. However, there were some differences between a photo and a real person. The IF club was located far away in Magic City. They had never been to the Imperial Capital and had never seen Chen Mo before. That was why the IF team leader didn't recognize him immediately.
The IF team leader was a little embarrassed after recognizing Chen Mo. He hurried forward and said, "Oh, it's Mr Chen. What brings you here today?"
Chen Mo said calmly, "I'm here to take a look at the venue of the finals."
He looked at the IF team members.
He had already seen their information, so he knew all of them. Of the two people who were shouting in the training room, one was called Hu Jing, mid laner, and the other was Luo Yongchang, top laner.
Hu Jing was only seventeen years old this year. He was known as the most promising mid laner in the country. His reaction speed, mechanics, and understanding of the game were all pretty good. He was undoubtedly the core of the IF team.
Chen Mo looked at Hu Jing. "Do you think the European, American, and Korean players are all noobs?"
Hu Jing sized Chen Mo up, his eyes filled with interest. He nodded. "What's wrong?"
"It's good to be confident, but in this game, arrogant and underestimating players will never be the final winner," said Chen Mo.
Hu Jing looked at Chen Mo.
Clearly, this sentence was very educational. The professional players of Team IF felt a little uncomfortable. It was as if they had been caught whispering in private during self-study class.
Of course, they weren't stupid enough to talk back to Chen Mo. After all, they were professional players in LoL. Strictly speaking, Chen Mo was the one who gave them their livelihood. If they angered Chen Mo, it wouldn't be surprising if he found a reason to ban them permanently.
Even the club's boss didn't dare to provoke him, let alone the group of internet addicts.
However, the look in Hu Jing's eyes showed that he was not convinced.
Chen Mo looked at him. "Not convinced?"
Hu Jing smiled. "President Chen, I heard that you're doing well in LoL. I watched your livestream during Chinese New Year and learned a lot from it. Today is a rare opportunity. Can you give me some pointers? "
As soon as Hu Jing said that, the IF team leader and the other members' hearts skipped a beat.
This little troublemaker was courting death!
It wouldn't matter if it was the other players, but Hu Jing was different. Hu Jing came from a rich family and was considered a second-generation heir. He had never suffered since he was young and had a rebellious personality. To him, playing professionally was no different from playing a game. It wasn't a big deal even if he couldn't play professionally.
At most, he could just go home and inherit the family fortune.
This was very different from the other players who relied on playing professionally to make a living.
The IF team leader was a little flustered. "President Chen, Hu Jing was just joking. Don't take it to heart."
The team leader gave Hu Jing a look as he spoke.
Chen Mo looked at Hu Jing and nodded. "Sure. You seem to like playing solo, let's play two solo matches. "
"President Chen, this …"
The IF team leader was helpless. What the hell was going on?
But since Chen Mo said he wanted to play, he could only let Hu Jing accompany him.
Luo Yongchang voluntarily gave up his spot and let Chen Mo use his computer and account to play.
The IF team leader kept giving Hu Jing a look, meaning for him to lose to Chen Mo so that he wouldn't offend him. However, Hu Jing pretended not to see it and just kept on choosing talents.
This pissed the team leader off.
Hu Jing pulled Chen Mo into a custom match and chose Summoner's Canyon as the map.
Since Chen Mo hadn't organized an official solo match in this world, the Chinese players all used Summoner's Canyon for solo matches, usually in the mid lane or top lane.
The rules weren't set either as they were usually discussed before the solo match. However, the more common rule was that players couldn't farm in the wild or in other lanes, and could go home whenever they wanted. Three health and two towers.
This meant that whoever got three kills or two towers first would win.
Hu Jing asked, "What are the rules? Three health and two towers? "
Chen Mo shook his head, "Follow the normal matchups in the mid lane. Whoever dies first or loses a tower first loses."
Hu Jing thought for a bit, "So all Summoner skills come with Blink?"
Chen Mo said, "Use whatever Summoner skill you used in the match."
Hu Jing nodded, "Sure."
If it was a normal solo match, the best Summoner skills would be Weaken, Barrier, or Ignite. However, Blink was a must in a match.
Chen Mo's intentions were clear, he wanted them to follow the matchups in the match.
Hu Jing asked again, "What about choosing heroes?"
Chen Mo said, "Whatever, pick your strongest."
Soon, both sides picked their heroes and entered the game.
Hu Jing chose Clockwork Demon, while Chen Mo chose Deathsong. Summoner skills were Blink and Ignite.
Hu Jing was shocked to see Deathsong.
Clockwork Demon and Deathsong were two of the most popular heroes in the mid lane and were often encountered in ranked matches. In comparison, Deathsong's ultimate was a full screen ultimate that could support his teammates, but he was weaker in lane compared to Clockwork. He had to keep farming in the early game, and could only save the world in the mid to late game.
Of course, it was rare for Clockwork and Death Song to face off against each other in a high level match. This was because players who knew how to play Death Song were usually very cunning. It was impossible for Clockwork to pull them off with an ultimate skill.
Generally speaking, Death Song was at a slight disadvantage in the high-level matches.
Moreover, Deathsong's Summoner skills were usually either Weaken or Teleport. Deathsong with Ignite was very rare.
Hu Jing was confused. Was Chen Mo planning to make a name for himself by picking Deathsong? Was this solo match going to take a long time?
