Chapter 105 The ultimate free-range trial training!
April 27th.
Jin Gong finally bid farewell to the GT training base and took the subway to Zhangjiang Science City, the magical capital, alone.
He is 22 years old this year. As a player who has joined the professional arena in 13 years, he is already considered a proper veteran in the LOL project.
Although it is not as exaggerated as Sunshine's 28 years old, he has been playing in the LPL since 2014 and is now almost at the end of his career.
After watching the semi-finals of the LPL playoffs, he didn't want to be like Sunshine, who could only watch the championship trophy from a distance and leave this beloved competitive stage sadly.
Not to mention that I don't have the talent like Sunshine, who can turn himself into another ultimate winner after the player's path is blocked.
Can't stay in GT anymore.
He has been thinking about it for the past two days, so what if he stays in GT? The club's financial situation is worse than that of WE. Strong players cannot be bought, and a coaching staff with real talent and knowledge will not come, let alone GT. A group of teammates has entered the stage of failure. So what if a team like this returns to the LPL this summer.
Not being at the bottom, but then playing the other team's points baby again and again.
Tightening the luggage bag in his hand, Jin Gong made up his mind that even if he failed the TES trial training again, he would never go back.
The half-hour subway journey passed by in a blink of an eye, and there was no time to marvel at the speed of traffic in the magical city. Jin Gong followed the crowded crowd towards the exit of Zhangjiang Science City, which revealed a glimmer of light.
After leaving the subway station, walk five to six hundred meters northeast and you will see the eye-catching signboard of the TES E-Sports Club.
At the fork in front of the base, assistant Xiao Cheng temporarily played the role of LOL branch manager, coming to greet the attack that came to the club for trial training today.
"Welcome to our TES eSports club. I am Mr. Lin's assistant to Jin Gong players. I will be responsible for hosting today's entire trial training." Xiao Cheng was wearing a black and white OL professional uniform that was extremely capable and highlighted his points. There was a faint smile on the somewhat neutral face, "Please wait a moment, there will be a child coming to our club for trial training today, he will be here soon!"
Jin Gong, who was a little uncomfortable under the aura of a strong professional woman, twisted his neck and looked behind him.
A thin boy carrying a suitcase was jogging from across the road.
It seemed that they also saw the TES club logo behind the two of them, and a pair of eyes suddenly burst into light on their thin faces.
"Are you the person in charge of the TES club?" Able smiled timidly at the two of them.
"Yes!" Xiao Cheng also stretched out his hand and briefly stated his identity.
"You two come with me!"
"Jin Gong?" The thin boy nodded and thanked him, and then his eyes fell on the strong man beside him.
As an e-sports player, he certainly knows this GT top laner who has performed brilliantly in the LPL.
It's just a bit unexpected that the TES club's top laner selection actually included this player.
Dai Zhichun only looks arrogant on the outside, but in fact he sees many issues more thoroughly than his peers.
For example, if he had no choice about the contract provided by his former club, he might bite the bullet and choose to sign it.
But when he learned that coach Newborn did not bring ELK or IG's AD to the new club, he knew that his opportunity had come.
Entering the LPL in one fell swoop is your only chance in this life!
"Hmm..."
Jin Gong, who was walking side by side, didn't know that the little man next to him was brainstorming, so he mumbled a response.
He had heard about the LPL youth training selection held some time ago, but GT happened to be relegated at that time, so he had no intention of paying attention to outside information. He only knew a few newcomers who often appeared in the live broadcast room.
Does the little man in front of me seem to be from IG or RNG?
"You two, we're here!"
Arriving at the entrance of a courtyard, Assistant Cheng, who had passed facial recognition, turned around and made a welcoming gesture.
Jin Gong and Aable nodded and followed.
At the entrance of the club is a small courtyard with many flowers and plants. There is also a small pond with fish on the left hand side as soon as you enter the door.
Jin Gong was in a daze for a while. He really came to an e-sports club and not to some resort?
Assistant Cheng continued: "The first floor is the living area of our club. The restaurant, entertainment, and daily activities of the players are all here. Going down to the right is our underground storage room and parking lot. Today is a special situation, so we have to base The car stopped temporarily at the door. ”
The two of them followed Assistant Cheng's gaze.
A brand new Coaster is parked in the corner on the right, and two masters are working on it.
"TES..."
The iconic club logo is spray-painted on the body.
A bit handsome!
This is Dai Zhichun's first impression. The team letters are artistically processed in the classic red and white color scheme. The tails of T and S have a bit more edge. From a distance, it looks like a giant dragon flicking its tail.
Just standing at the door, the two of them looked at each other for more than a minute.
Entering the lobby, Assistant Cheng motioned to the front desk lady at the door to help take the luggage. After the two put down the large and small bags, he continued to introduce.
“We planned and designed the first floor of the club according to Mr. Lin’s ideas.”
"What you two see now is our future corridor of honor!"
Directly opposite the front desk when you enter is a row of sofas. A wall cabinet is installed behind the sofa, which contains some books and trinkets. The honor corridor that Assistant Cheng mentioned is behind a wall with the TES e-sports club logo. People come from Go in from both sides.
"Um, isn't it the Hall of Honor? Why are they all filled with flower pots..."
Looking at the items placed in the glass cabinets on the left and right, Jin Gong blurted out subconsciously.
Dai Zhichun:......
Brother, do you want to be so honest? A newly established club has not even played a game yet. Where can I put the honorary trophy for you in it? If not put in a flower pot, what can I put it in?
Assistant Cheng didn't mind, and said frankly: "Mr. Lin's original intention for the design of the honor cabinets on both sides was to encourage all members of the club. Put it on the first floor. If there are more honors, we will be incompetent. If we can't win, It’s appropriate to put some flower pots here when you have a problem and let people laugh at it.”
"Oh, by the way, please provide us with the WeChat QR code."
Assistant Cheng, who was about to take the two of them to the training room after introducing the living area at the back, suddenly said.
Dai Zhichun: "WeChat QR code?"
"Yes, out of respect for the players who believe in our TES club, and to make up for the time wasted by everyone going to the club for trial training, Mr. Lin requested that the players be provided with trial training subsidies in the form of red envelopes before the actual training. .”
The subsidy is not much, just five hundred yuan!
But it was enough to shock the two people's fragile hearts.
What...what...when are you going to come for a trial training? Is there a club that will provide you with an initial subsidy of 500 yuan?
Assistant Cheng smiled calmly and was not pleased with the surprised expressions of the two.
Seeing the two people's reactions, she must have felt a different kind of sense of accomplishment in her heart. The kind that she had once graduated from college and failed in social interviews. Now the role reversal can give the interviewer a little warmth in this way to make up for the past. own happiness. And not after the trial, but the red envelope will be sent to each other's mobile phones the moment the players come to the club.
Today was mainly because she was too busy, and neither of them had time to add their WeChat messages in advance.
Think about it, if the red envelope is given out after a failed trial training, it would feel a bit like mercy and charity. If it is sent out in advance, it fully reflects the humanistic care of this club.
"The restaurant is also on the first floor. The club's dinner time is usually at six o'clock, but pastries and fruits are available in the restaurant at any time."
"There is a small tea bar next to the restaurant, but it is not available for use yet."
"Opposite the tea bar machine is the entertainment area for the players, where you can enjoy various console games..."
Jin Gong and Dai Zhichun were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and they felt dizzy listening to Assistant Cheng's introduction.
big!
Extra large!
I'm afraid this floor would have to be over a thousand square meters.
Thousands of square meters?
If Lin Shuyang knew what the two of them were thinking, he would probably laugh out loud. You must have underestimated the inhumanity of Taobao Sports Trench.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Not to mention anything else, the training base they are currently in has a training room on the second floor of more than 800 square meters, which is 100 more than the 700 square meters of EDG on Lingshi Road next door. There is no doubt that it is already the entire training base. The largest club in LPL.
The training base is not just a single building. There are two small buildings connected behind it. When superimposed, the space is infinitely expanded.
The club will also add physical therapists, gyms and other facilities in the future.
Other clubs may also be fiddling with hardware because the investment in e-sports is difficult to achieve in proportion to the returns.
However, for Top Sports, the market of e-sports and young people has proven that it can convert traffic, and the money spent on e-sports bases is not as good as the money spent on advertisers in the past. big.
"Now I will take you two to the training room on the second floor!"
Finally, before Jin Gong and Aable's mental endurance was about to reach the limit, Assistant Cheng finally said what they had been waiting for.
Hurry up and try out.
Woohoo, you just introduced how good the club is, and didn't you think about whether it would be uncomfortable for us when we are struggling here to decide whether we can stay?
……
"Should I use my own keyboard and mouse or do I need one provided by the club?"
Assistant coach 694 in the training room was making pre-match arrangements. He looked at the two and asked softly.
Jin Gong opened his luggage bag and said, "No, I brought it myself."
"Um...please get me a set." Able raised his hand helplessly.
Unlike Jin Gong, who has been receiving club salary for several years while playing professionally.
This time he came out to play e-sports, but his family did not support him and it was impossible to provide him with financial help.
Even part of his meal and taxi expenses are sponsored by Firefox coaches. It is really difficult to have a set of qualified e-sports peripherals.
694 then asked about the usage habits of e-sports peripherals. After confirming, he made a call and had the logistics staff deliver them.
While waiting for the start of the game, the two looked at TES's training base.
big!
Like the previous reaction, the first impression given by TES’s training base is that it is big.
There are two rows of gaming tables on the left and right, and a very spacious aisle in the middle. There is also a large floor-to-ceiling window directly opposite the entrance. Under the floor-to-ceiling window are two rows of lazy sofas in the lounge, where you can lie down and watch the river view.
There is also a row of sofas on the side of the wall near the entrance, and a monitor hangs directly opposite the sofa.
"It seems to be the place where the team collectively watches the game." Jin Gong thought.
It's really a bit outrageous.
Comparing TES's training room with GT's, if you squeeze the two rows of e-sports tables facing each other in the middle, you can probably fit four LOL teams in it.
"Let me talk about the arrangements for the two of you first. You guys have a total of two days of trial training tasks. Today, the boss is out at the base and I will arrange it. I will simply play a BO3. Tomorrow, the boss will personally arrange it."
"Two days...will the club provide room and board?" Able asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, the club will take care of the accommodation and food for you two."
After two months of training, 694 gradually gained the composure that a leader should have. While explaining to the two of them, 694 looked outside the training room door.
"Your peripherals have arrived, we will start the training match immediately." 694 turned to look at the three players sitting on the computer table, "Xiang Tao, help me ask WE.A if they are ready."
< br>
WE.A, that is, Mr. Pei, after selling me's quota, quickly purchased a team that barely managed to survive in the secondary league. After getting the quota, it was renamed we.a and continued to compete in the secondary league as WE's second team.
Now the first team is busy preparing for the Spring Finals, and there is no time to play a trial match with them. Besides, with the current lineup of TES and basically zero cooperation, it is purely for abuse to play against WE.
"They said no problem, we can start anytime."
"Okay, find a seat." 694 pointed at the computer desk, "You can sit in the top lane AD space left by Xiaotian and the others. If you are not used to it, you can also sit opposite."
The mic is always on during team volleyball training matches, so the position of the players does not have much impact.
In terms of location selection, Jin Gong and Able exchanged glances with each other, and sat down next to Xiaotian in perfect agreement.
"Brother Yang's Thousand Layer Cake routine can be seen everywhere..."
694, who cursed in his heart, shook his head and saw that the five people were ready to make arrangements for the trial match that was about to start.
"Brother Yang has a special request for today's trial training. Please win as much as possible. The winning or losing of the game will account for part of the trial training reference points."
"In the first game, we played a two-player system of midfielder, jungler and assistant, which means that the top laner and AD may exist as sacrifice points for the team at any time."
"Player Jin Gong, you will basically not get help from the jungle in this game. The team needs to understand your ability to withstand pressure and develop. Please decide by yourself whether to support you and when to join the team."
Jin Gong nodded: "Understood!"
He knows how to withstand pressure.
Although I have been the director of GT for a period of time, the style of the lpl's top unit in the entire division is still biased toward blue-collar. It is not surprising that the club's ultimate free-range tactics for top laners require Jin Gong.
On the contrary, he was a little surprised by the fact that Able also required him to resist pressure.
As mentioned above, the reason why lpl requires blue-collar top laners is often to support AD in the lower half. Focusing on double C in the middle and bottom, or even the more extreme four-guaranteed-one lineup is the password of lpl's division. tes now actually uses AD as a tool. Human meaning.
