When the six members of the HXA team gathered in Xiangjiang, the team building operation that took nearly 20 days was officially completed.
But even so, Mingrui is not in a hurry to announce the news officially because they still have some relatively simple work to finish in the future.
For example, customizing the team uniforms belonging to the HXA team, taking personal makeup photos and group photos of the players, etc.
In addition, Mingrui also asked Nelson to start trying to contact sponsors on behalf of the HXA team. After all, he bought a team seat, rented the HXA team base, recruited relevant staff, and purchased a considerable amount of training equipment.
Mingrui's savings that he had accumulated before were running low, and some of them had to be reserved to pay salaries to the players and staff.
Therefore, before winning the first league championship, or even the first MSI championship, the HXA team's financial situation is still relatively tight, and it must need the support of sponsors and investors.
And you must know that this is the best result if Mingrui does not pay himself a salary. If he also pays himself a salary, with his annual salary, his little savings will not be enough!
Fortunately, the influence of "Triple Crown Champion Dark" is still quite high, so in just two days, Nelson helped the HXA team contact their first sponsor.
That’s Huya Live!
It's not because Nielsen's business negotiation skills are so strong, but because of live broadcast platforms like Huya, teams with a little traffic basically have to sponsor them, and then decide whether to renew or cancel based on their performance.
And in fact, in addition to Huya, the first live broadcast platform that Nielsen contacted was Douyu, but Douyu was rejected by Mingrui himself.
Because he always felt that various "lottery" activities on the Douyu live broadcast platform were suspected of illegal crimes, and the "big anchor" of Doinb was on the Douyu platform, Mingrui avoided them.
After officially signing a contract with Huya Live Broadcasting Platform, Mingrui took the opportunity to let Nelson use the HXA team's official scarf and Twitter to officially announce the completion of the HXA team.
At the same time, Mingrui and others also immediately completed the name change of their Internet platform, and forwarded and commented on the first scarf on the HXA team’s official blog.
"@HXA.Dark: Hello everyone, I am the owner of the HXA team and jungler Dark. In 2020, I will work with my teammates from the HXA team to compete for the PCS League championship, the MSI championship, and the S10 world Champion!”
"Please wait and see and support us as always!"
Mingrui said solemnly while wearing a scarf.
As everyone knows, it is because of his scarf that once again aroused the collective shock of the majority of LPL fans!
"What? After Dark left G2, he went directly to the PCS division to build a team? Or did he become both a boss and a player?"
"Is it weird? When Dark posted a scarf saying that he would never return to the LPL, and asked who was the real traitor, I guessed that he would definitely go to the PCS league, but I didn't expect that he would build his own team."< br>
"Team HXA, China Atitude, this Dark really dares to name his team. If nothing else, I really admire Dark for this alone."
"Oh my God, you build your own team, and it's an all-Chinese team! Isn't Dark too courageous?! Does he really think he can lead an all-Chinese team to win the championship? This is the RNG team. Things that didn’t happen.”
"And if he can't achieve results within a year, it feels like all his investment will be wasted!"
"How is it possible? Dark is a triple crown champion and will become a quadruple crown champion next year!"
"Four-time champion? Don't worry about your tongue slipping away! It's true that Dark has the ability, but are his five teammates capable of winning the championship?"
"To put it mildly, except for Dark himself, the other five members of the HXA team have no championship looks at all!"
"What level is Brother Holy Gun? LPL playoff level!"
"What's the level of toothpaste? It's a first-rounder in the World Championships!"
"What is the level of old thief Sima? Relegation to the emperor!"
"What is the level of gala and on? The level of a newcomer and a pure newcomer!"
"Dark wants to win the S10 world championship with one god and four pits? He is simply dreaming!"
"Haha, let me just say, this year is definitely the most promising year for the LPL. As long as Dark can't make it to the World Championship, then the LPL will definitely win the world championship!"
When LPL fans discovered through analysis that Dark's HXA team was not worth mentioning at all, most people instantly became excited.
Because in their view, even if LPL wins the S10 championship, it cannot prove the gold content of that championship trophy.
But as long as the LPL gets their first world championship trophy, it will be the best ending! It doesn’t matter what the process is like!
But for a small number of LPL fans, even if the HXA team really doesn't seem to have any championship potential, their worries still cannot be eliminated.
After all, you must know that before Dark joined the G2 team, the G2 team actually had no championship status, but it was because of Dark's arrival that G2 established their G2 dynasty.
And will the next one be a dynasty belonging to the HXA team?
Just as the majority of LPL fans poured into @HXA.Dark’s comment area and left comments, Mingrui also roughly saw the topics of their discussion.
Although I dismiss their idea that "this year is the most promising year for the LPL", I have to admit that there is nothing wrong with some of their statements.
As Swordart said before, except for himself, the other players in the HXA team really don't have any championship status now.
Especially the support player ON, once the HXA team cannot find a formal support, he will directly change from a youth training player to a professional player.
And you know, in the world championships, if a team has very obvious shortcomings, then it is almost impossible for it to become the world champion that year!
But Mingrui didn't care at all about the "worries" of LPL fans.
One is because every champion player comes from youth training, including Mingrui himself. As long as they pass hard training and competition, all members of the HXA team will definitely become world champions one day!
The second reason is because Mingrui is a man with the [Dark System]. Wouldn't it be simple to use the system to open a bot or something?
After all, if it weren’t for the existence of passive skills such as [Happy Family] and [First Blood] in the [Dark System], the teammates of the G2 team would never have become world champions!
“You think our HXA team doesn’t have the championship potential, do you?”
"System! Add more points!"
So, as he finished speaking, Mingrui finally entered the [Dark System] again after a long time.
Although a very long time has passed since the last time I entered the Dark System, the accumulated amount of Dark Value is not optimistic.
As of now, rounding off, it is only 80 million points, which is still more than 20 million points short of the full reminder of 100 million points!
To accumulate more than 20 million dark points, Mingrui may have to wait until the end of the year, because since he won two S competition championships, his dark point accumulation speed has slowed down greatly.
In other words, except for the small group of LPL fans who are always harsh from the beginning to the end, all League of Legends viewers around the world have been conquered by Mingrui's strength!
This is a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that Mingrui no longer needs dark points to continue to enhance his strength.
The bad thing is that at this moment, using 80 million dark points to boost the team may not feel like enough.
But in fact, it doesn't matter. Only from these 80 million points of darkness can one skill be extracted that is useful to the team, and that is worth thousands of dollars!
So, without any nonsense, Mingrui immediately started his new round and possibly the last round of lottery.
Not to mention, it may be that [Dark System] sensed the sincerity deep in Mingrui's heart, and this time he really came up with two more useful skills for the team!
The first skill is [Coach].
[Coach]: When the strength gap between the host and his teammates is too large, the host can automatically trigger the [Coach] skill. This skill allows the host to provide training assistance to teammates during daily training.
At the same time, it also allows the host to use the [Coach] skill to provide better BP for the team during the game BP process.
The second skill is [Protagonist Halo].
[Protagonist Halo]: When the host engages in a formal match, you can provide yourself and your teammates with corresponding real-time combat power increases.
Every time the host gets a kill, the increase is 1%. Every time the host gets an assist, the increase is 0.5%. It will be cleared after the game.
When he extracted these two skills, Mingrui was overjoyed, because they really solved the urgent need of the HXA team.
Although the HXA team has gathered all the players, in terms of coaching candidates, the HXA team has never had a more suitable coach.
After all, those outstanding coaches who originally belonged to the PCS division, such as War Horse, Steak, etc., have been poached by the LPL division, so the standards of the coaches who remain in the PCS division are not very good.
The emergence of the [Coach] skill directly allows Mingrui to become a coach for his teammates in daily life and games, helping them improve, and assisting the coach in game BP.
But even so, the HXA team still needs a formal coach. After all, the players cannot be left empty during the game drafting, and in addition to the game drafting, the coach also needs to be responsible for some other simple tasks.
Like ordering takeout?
As for the second [Protagonist Halo] skill, it is completely an enhanced version of Mingrui’s previous [Killing Like Hemp] skill.
Although the increase value has been reduced, there is no "halved death" penalty for victory, so this means that as long as Mingrui participates in the kills during the HXA team's game, the teammates will receive an immediate increase in combat effectiveness.
After all, one game can improve at least 10%!
In addition to these two skills, Mingrui also obtained several other very good skills in this draw, which can be said to fill all the gaps in the game.
[First Tower]: After obtaining the first blood tower, the team members who participated in obtaining the first blood tower will receive a 5% instant combat power increase.
[First Little Dragon]: After obtaining the first little dragon, the team members who participated in obtaining the little dragon will receive a 5% instant combat power increase.
[First Pioneer]: When the first Canyon Pioneer is obtained, the team members who participated in obtaining the Canyon Pioneer will receive a 5% instant combat power increase.
[The first big dragon]: When the first big dragon is obtained, during the duration of the big dragon BUFF, the team members who participated in obtaining the big dragon will receive a 50% instant combat power increase.
With these four small skills, plus those previously obtained, it can be said that if a member of the HXA team is lucky enough to participate in all the "firsts", then his immediate combat effectiveness will be improved. It can reach an astonishing 100%!
If the HXA team still fails to win the championship despite doubling their combat power, then all the HXA team members, including Dark, may retire on the spot!
Therefore, after completing this series of "combat strengthening", Mingrui became even more confident about the future of the HXA team.
However, what Mingrui never expected, and what everyone on the HXA team never expected, was that just when they had completed the recruitment of all staff, just when they were ready for the start of the new season.
A sudden and severe storm swept the world in just one month!
At first, no one paid much attention to this storm, thinking that it was just an individual case, a city case, or a country case.
Until this storm, it is closely related to everyone in the world!
In order to prevent professional League of Legends players around the world from being affected by this storm, Riot Games officials and the officials of each major competition region have made a temporary decision to cancel offline viewing and hold the 2020 Spring Split of each division online.
This decision will naturally not affect the preparations of major teams around the world, but for the players of the HXA team, they will not be able to go home to celebrate the Lunar New Year in 2020.
But that’s fine, after a month-long pre-match preparation, the HXA team officially went online on February 8, 2020, starting their first season in the PCS division.
And just as all fans of the HXA team, or fans of the players of the HXA team, have expected, the HXA team’s new season journey has been astonishing!
Although in the early days of the spring split, the HXA team lost some games because the team's integration was not enough, but as they got better, the HXA team began to control the thunder and lightning in the PCS division!
In the end, the HXA team not only entered the playoffs with first place in the regular season, but also defeated all opponents in the playoffs with a 100% winning rate, and won the PCS Division 2020 Spring Split in one go. !
It is also the first championship in the history of the HXA team! (End of chapter)
