In the summer of Beijing, the heat is hot, like a fire and the sun seems to melt everything, and the pedestrians on the road are taking difficult steps, looking forward to a hearty heavy rain to extinguish the endless heat of the city.

BUT IN THE RAINBOW CLUB'S TRAINING ROOM, THE ATMOSPHERE IS EVEN HOTTER THAN THE SUN OUTSIDE THE WINDOW.

This was Grace's first training session after returning from injury.

Even though he has two years of professional e-sports career and is the new MVP of the national competition, he has no experience in leading the team alone, and in the face of this tricky situation, he can't help but be a little flustered.

Looking at the five RAINBOW second-line players in front of him, Mingsi didn't know how to guide, so he could only explain the methods taught by Coach Mu Comb and his experience in the battle one by one.

The five second-tier team members are the auxiliary Zhang Mosheng, the jungler Li Ziqiu, the shooter Mao Xiaole, the top laner Peng Yuning and the middle laner Gu Mingyi.

They were in qualifying at the time, and they were still lacking in skill when they were fighting, but the good thing was that everyone was very serious.

"Now that I think about it, being an esports coach is harder than a player, not only to understand the characteristics of the players, analyze the data, arrange tactics, but also to know the enemy, make on-the-spot responses, and know the changes." While watching the training of the players, Mingsi chatted with the manager Zhang Long.

Zhang Long nodded, his strength is commercial development, he doesn't know anything about tactical arrangement, he used to do it with a wooden comb coach, but now the burden falls on Mingsi, for the high-intensity training of the qualifying tournament in two months, he is also afraid that Mingsi's body can't bear it.

"Mingsi, you just have to do it with your heart, I will do everything in my power to ensure the daily operation of our club, you don't have to worry about the future," Zhang Long looked at Mingsi's thin cheeks, and he was also a little worried, "But you also have to focus on your body, and the future is long, even if we don't succeed in breaking through this time, there will definitely be a chance in the future." ”

Ming Si responded, how could he not know that this breakout competition was difficult, but if he chose to give up, how could he be worthy of his deceased companions?

"Manager, the qualification for this World Preliminary Tournament is ours in itself, but because of an accident, the league wants to rotate the second place in the competition in order to ensure the winning rate of the national server." "But I don't want to give up so easily, and I'm sure all the RAINBOW team members think the same way." ”

The five squad members in front of them are fighting fiercely with their opponents on the Internet.

"Don't say it, Mingyi and Yuning really have a little charm from you." Zhang Long said with a smile.

While talking, Zhang Long's mobile phone rang suddenly, he looked at the number, frowned slightly, and said to Mingsi: "I'll answer the phone, you record the data first." ”

Ming Si saw that Zhang Long's face was not very good, and he didn't ask more, just nodded lightly.

Zhang Long hurriedly walked out of the training room, and a conversation came from the corridor, "Hey? Hey, hello Mr. Wang, what are you looking for me? ”

"Zhang Long, we are all people who understand, so I'll get straight to the point." Mr. Wang's tone on the other end of the phone was not good.

"Hey, you're kind to something." Zhang Long said with a smile.

"Don't pretend to be confused, when the RAINBOW team won the championship before, our company signed an endorsement contract with your club, but then your club had an accident and the endorsement contract could not be fulfilled, how are you going to solve it?"

"This... Mr. Wang, don't worry, in a few days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Zhang Long said.

"Fuck your mother, a few of your champions are gone, how can you fulfill the contract? Let me tell you, if you can't give me a satisfactory solution at the end of the month, let's meet in court, and then you will have to pay me a penny of liquidated damages and compensation! ”

After speaking, Mr. Wang on the other end of the phone hung up the phone.

Zhang Long punched the wall, "Damn, we come to hold it when the scenery is beautiful, and now we are in trouble, we are all so ruthless, it will take time for me to work around the capital." ”

"Brother Long," Mingsi came out of the training room, and when he saw Zhang Long's expression, he already understood three or four points.

"Hmm." Zhang Long said in a sullen voice.

"If we break into the World Preliminaries, will those endorsement contracts continue to be fulfilled?" Mingsi asked.

Zhang Long looked up at Ming Si, "Yes, it can be fulfilled, but..."

"Brother Long, you work hard first, and after two months, I will definitely give you a perfect answer." Mingsi made a military order for himself.

THE CORNERS OF ZHANG LONG'S EYES WERE A LITTLE MOIST, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE MADE THIS MIDDLE-AGED MAN MISERABLE, THE CLUB IS TO MAKE A PROFIT IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, BUT NOW THE RAINBOW CLUB CAN BE DESCRIBED AS A WALL THAT EVERYONE PUSHES, NOT ONLY CAN NOT ATTRACT SPONSORSHIP, BUT ON THE CONTRARY, IT IS CHOKED BY THE BREACH OF CONTRACT.

"My prize money in the finals is a total of three million, which can be used for emergencies." Mingsi said.

Zhang Long hurriedly shook his head, "No, it was fought out by you one by one, and it belongs to you personally." When these things happened, I was also blamed for being greedy, and I received so many endorsements at once, and then things developed beyond expectations, so they got out of control. ”

Mingsi didn't know what to say for a while, and the two just sat at the top of the stairs, silent.

After a while, Zhang Long asked: "Mingsi, you observe the five substitute players, which one has more potential and is suitable for long-term training?" ”

Ming Si groaned slightly, and said: "Zhang Mosheng and Yuning are fighting well, and now they have reached the third stage of platinum. ”

"Platinum..."Zhang Long is not an e-sports player, but the management club is also clear about the game HERO, which is a theoretical school, "The platinum rank is not high, and the players selected by other clubs are all teenagers with more than seventy stars in a single row." ”

"These kids, usually play a lot in the entertainment bureau, and they are not very keen on ranking, I checked their hero pool in the morning, and some of them didn't even match the runes." Mingsi said helplessly.

Zhang Long didn't speak, lit a cigarette, and smoked it, in his heart, he also felt that it was really difficult for these fledgling children to deal with the qualifying tournament in two months, but he was indeed unwilling, and always wanted to try him.

"The games are played one by one, Brother Long, do you remember what I looked like when I first joined the club?" Mingsi asked with a smile.

"Ah, you were back then," Zhang Long squinted his eyes and recalled, "the young man was very energetic, a little shorter and slightly chubby than he is now. At that time, you were in my Internet café, and in one afternoon, you went straight from gold to star diamonds, and became the focus of the entire Internet café, and I remember that many players stopped playing games in the end, and all stood behind you and watched you play ranked. ”

Thinking of the original scene, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Long's mouth.

"Later, your school opened an e-sports major, because there was no venue, so I signed a cooperation contract with our e-sports Internet café, and then we got to know each other, think about it, it's been almost three years."

"yes, more than two years, almost three years."

Zhang Long looked at Ming Si and said, "Seriously, I am very grateful to you for bringing the first national championship to the club, really. ”

Mingsi shrugged, "So many things have come over in the past, and since the alliance has given us a chance to resurrect the qualifiers, we have no reason to give up, let's go all out." ”

"yes, all the way."

While the two were talking, someone shouted in the direction of the training room: "Brother Mingsi, come here." ”

Ming Si responded, and Zhang Long walked back to the training room quickly, it turned out that the five second-tier players had just finished a promotion match, and the shooter on the opposite side played very brightly, which once caused a great obstacle to the five people, and after finally defeating the opponent, the five people immediately began to study the opponent's data.

"Brother, the shooter Jin Yiwei on the opposite side is too powerful, he took three kills as soon as he came up, but fortunately they made a mistake in the end and were reversed by us." Brother Mingyi said.

"Brother Ming Si, can you help us analyze, is it better for the hero of Jinyiwei to come out first with the Destruction Sword or the Lightning Blade?" Team assistant Zhang Mosheng asked.

"We've been arguing for a long time, and we haven't come to a conclusion, we just think that the attack power of the shooter on the opposite side is so high." Mao Xiaole said that he was the main shooter in the second-tier team, and he was also stunned by the ADC on the opposite side just now.

Mingsi quieted everyone down, looked at the results of the game on the screen, and already understood seven or eight points.

He turned to everyone and said, "The Sword of Destruction and the Lightning Blade are both must-have equipment for marksmen, but there is a lot of attention to the order in which they are selected. ”

Ming Si paused for a moment and continued: "The Sword of Destruction, which can increase attack speed, the passive effect of this equipment is to trigger a bleeding effect of 8% of the current life each time it attacks the enemy; The Lightning Blade, on the other hand, has a chance to trigger the lightning chain when you perform a basic attack, dealing physical damage each time. ”

Mingsi continued, "In actual combat, using the Lightning Blade will allow you to form faster, as it costs 200 pieces cheaper than the Broken Sword, and the increase in attack speed is also greater. ”

"However, in the game just now, we chose two front rows, and the frankness is very high. If the opposite ADC comes out of the lightning blade first, the damage to us in the early stage is limited, so his first out of the Destruction Sword, the purpose is to hit our front row with a percentage of the amount of blood, plus wearing a vampire rune, it can maximize the endurance and continue to suppress, so we feel very passive. ”

Mao Xiaole suddenly realized, "No wonder he is so difficult in the middle of the period, he always feels that our front row is like paper paste, haha." ”

"Remember, in the game, you must judge the situation, and the outfit must be decided according to the battle situation, there is no immutability, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you take the lead."
