“。。。 For personal reasons, Mr. Downing decided to step down as a coach. I am very grateful to Mr. Tang Ning for leading our team to achieve excellent results, and I wish him all the best in his future life. ”

A message sent by the NB team on Weibo instantly attracted the attention of many fans.

"He's a top local coach, why did he terminate his contract?"

"Who knows, the official didn't make it clear, maybe the coach really encountered some problems."

Fans were surprised by the sudden departure of the coach and were talking about it.

It's just that the departure of a local coach with a certain reputation is not a big deal at all. After a few days, the heat of the matter had dissipated without a trace, and people moved on to a new topic.

Xiahai City, Downing's house.

"Son, listen to your mother, find a stable job, find a good girl to fall in love and get married, and don't be a professional coach anymore. Yesterday, Qigu introduced me to a girl, saying that she came back from studying in the UK, or do you know each other? Hey, son, don't go, you're almost 30 years old, and you have to think about life events... The mother, who was mopping the floor, saw Tang Ning staring at the computer in a daze, and couldn't help but muttered again.

Tang Ning's mother's name is Guo Feng, and she worked in telecom from the age of 18 until she retired, although the position is not high, but the salary is enough to support their two mother and son.

She doesn't know what an esports dream is, and she doesn't want her son to be a team coach. Like other parents, her only wish is for her son to get married early and have a grandson for her.

Downing's father died when he was a child, and even Downing didn't see him a few times. I heard my mother say that my father was a person with a lot of dreams, and when the state-owned enterprises were reformed, my father jumped out to start a business, but unfortunately he was in a car accident and died young.

Downing has had average grades in school since he was a child, and his dream is to become a professional e-sports player like Sky and them. From Dota to Shinzo to LoL, he played pretty well. In the S3 season, LOL opened the rank system, and he even hit the first place in the national server and was invited by the professional team.

It's a pity that he was 24 years old at that time, which is already an old age or even overage as an esports player.

As he gets older, Downing's reflexes inevitably slip. After an unsuccessful season, Downing could not compete with the young recruits and was relegated to the bench.

Faced with such a situation, he did not complain. E-sports strength is the first, and his strength is not as good as others, so it is only right that he can't play.

Sitting on the bench, he did not give up his esports dream, and he began to observe the coach's no-selection strategy and the performance of his teammates on the field, looking for their strengths and weaknesses.

A year later, Downing chose to retire and become the team's coach. He joined the NB team that was still in the lspl at the time, and led the team to the lpl until the NB impact in the summer failed to qualify, terminated his contract, and issued the above Weibo announcement.

"Got it, Mom, I'll go out to look for it now, and I'll definitely find a daughter-in-law who satisfies you, don't worry! I'm leaving, bye-bye~"

This is the Nth time his mother has been talking to him these days, since he is unemployed at home, his mother has been talking about him every day to find a stable job and find a daughter-in-law, he can only run outside to hide, avoid his mother's preaching.

November was the crisp autumn weather, and Downing didn't feel cold just wearing a single coat, he walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about his future.

Money, although he is not rich, he is not very lacking. As the head coach of an LPL team, his salary is not low, and with his savings in the past few years, even if he can't find a new job for a year or two, he can support himself and his mother.

He didn't plan to find a secure job, as his mother had suggested. The competition is so fierce these years, he is a third-rate undergraduate graduate, and after all these years, he can't do anything else except League of Legends, why should people invite him?

Girlfriend, hehe, as a professional team coach, he lives in the team base at least 300 days a year, except for the aunt who cooks and cleans, the others are all men, where do you let him find a girlfriend?

You don't see SKT's head coach kkoma, who is still a bachelor in his 30s, and even his teammates are ridiculing him in the post-game interview, asking him to find a girlfriend.

Even the world's most famous League of Legends coach can't escape the fate of a single dog, and Downing feels that he himself is relatively hanging.

"Hey, let's fill my stomach first." As Downing walked, his stomach suddenly rumbled, reminding him that he needed to eat.

He came to Fu Ji Restaurant, he went to school when he was a child, and his mother had to go to work and didn't have time to cook for him, so he let him eat in this restaurant by himself, and he ate here for more than ten years.

"A-Ning, come to dinner, what do you want to eat today?" The boss asked with a smile when he saw the old acquaintance coming.

Tang Ning has eaten here for nearly 20 years, and the boss has watched him grow from a 1.3-meter-3 child to a 1.85-meter-old mature man now. He also watched the boss's sideburns and gray hair grow from nothing, and he walked from striding meteors to relying on crutches.

Tang Ning has no father since he was a child, and the boss treats him as his own, and for him, the boss is half his father.

"Uncle Fu, just give me a package A." Tang Ning saw the boss stand up, and hurriedly walked over to support him.

Uncle Fu is old, and now he only sits at the front desk and is responsible for collecting money and placing orders, and his son is in charge of the back kitchen. Hearing Tang Ning's words, his son began to get up.

Tang Ning slowly helped Uncle Fu to sit down, and the two chatted, Tang Ning saw that there was an old man in the store who was sitting and didn't order food, so he asked Uncle Fu curiously: "Uncle Fu, what's the situation with that old gentleman?" ”

"I don't know, he just came here to sit these days, asked him if he wanted to eat, he didn't speak, and left by himself after a while." Uncle Fu glanced at the old man and said slowly.

Uncle Fu was talking to Tang Ning when the old gentleman had already stood up and walked out the door.

"Sir, your wallet has dropped!" The old man dropped a wallet when he passed by Tang Ning, and Tang Ning picked it up and quickly called out to him.

"Thank you." The old man's voice was very hoarse, and he had a feeling of being in his old age.

Tang Ning handed over the wallet, the old man took it tremblingly, he saw Tang Ning's face, stunned for a moment, and then took out a photo from the wallet, as if comparing something.

"You, are you named Tangning?" The old man's voice was hoarse, but he could be heard full of anticipation.

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Yes, I am Tang Ning, do you know me?" ”

He didn't have any impression of this old man, how could the old man recognize him?

"You, have you ever been a League of Legends pro player and coach?" When the old man heard Tang Ning's admission, he became more and more excited, and his cheeks turned red because of congestion.

Tang Ning was taken aback, he nodded, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Maybe I still have an old fan of this age." ”

Seeing Tang Ning nodding, the old man laughed loudly, and he patted Tang Ning on the shoulder so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go too!" After filming Tang Ning, the old man turned around and left, he walked like a fly, so that people couldn't connect him with the old man who was old just now.

"What a strange old man." Tang Ning stretched his arms to relieve the pain caused by the old man's hard slapping just now, and couldn't help but complain.
