Chapter 38: Meeting New Teammates
VG moved quickly, and after reaching a verbal agreement with Downing, they immediately sent someone to sign a contract with Downing the next day.
Downing took a look at the contract, and after confirming that it was correct, he signed his name in the lower right corner of the last page, officially becoming a member of VG in the new season!
"At 10 a.m., Mr. Downing officially signed with our VG Club. In the new season, Downing will become a part of VG and work together with the team to create better results! #VG加油#"
After Tangning signed the contract, VG immediately publicly announced the news of Tangning's joining on the official blog, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Downing, who is it? Newcomers? Someone in the comments immediately asked.
"Upstairs, are you from Zhiyuanxing? Downing was a coach of NB before, and later joined the Internet café team to become a player again, and performed super well in the German Cup, leading the Internet café team to the semifinals, but unfortunately lost to EDG. "Downstairs, there were enthusiastic netizens who immediately popularized science.
"Coach turned? So how old is he this year? Someone else saw the comments of the two and interjected and asked.
"It's almost 29, and it seems to be the oldest player in League of Legends history. But if you look at his German Cup games, the operation and reaction say that he is 18 years old. ”
Major game community forums have also carried this Weibo, and the comments of netizens are basically divided into two factions. One faction believes that VG has finally found a reliable ad, while the other faction believes that Downing is too old and is not optimistic about Downing's prospects.
No matter what netizens say, Tang Ning's joining VG is already a sure fact. After telling his mother that he had found a new job and would normally live in the dormitory of the unit, Tang Ning followed the VG staff to the team base.
"Welcome to our VG base, how about it, it looks pretty good." Lu Jun had already been waiting outside the door, and when he saw Tang Ning coming, he said to Tang Ning with pride.
"Well, it's a great place to live." Tang Ning followed him into the base and chatted with him.
The VG team members were also waiting for Tang Ning in the base, and when they saw Tang Ning walking in with Lu Jun, everyone immediately came over to greet him.
"Okay, you get acquainted with each other, I'll leave first if I have something to do." Lu Jun was afraid that he would make the team members restrained here, so he took the first step and left space for them.
"You don't have to introduce yourself, I'm familiar with you." Seeing that Hou Ye began to introduce himself, Tang Ning stopped him with a smile.
Tang Ning saw that Hou Ye, Long, Ding Huang, Crash and Xiao Duan were all there, but he didn't see the coach, so he asked strangely: "Who is the coach of our team now, why haven't you seen anyone?" ”
"The coach was not in good health and went to the hospital for a follow-up." Hou Ye answered his question. He speaks authentic Mandarin, even more standard than many Mandarin pronunciations.
"So that's the case, but Hou Ye, you really speak Chinese to a good standard." Although Tang Ning had long known that Hou Ye's Chinese was good, he was still taken aback when he heard his pure Mandarin.
"Maybe it's because I've been exposed to a lot of Chinese culture since I was a child." Hou Ye's smile is very shy, his mother is a Chinese teacher, and his sister lives in China, so Hou Ye's Chinese level is also the best in Han Yuan.
"Downing, there are exactly eight of us in the first team. The other two substitutes don't have much chance to play, so they usually live on the second team's side. Now that you're here, I finally have a roommate. ”
It was Brother Long who spoke on the list, and after Hou Ye's level gradually declined, he was the well-deserved core of the VG team. At this time, he was very happy, because he finally did not have to live in a room alone.
Before embarking on the path of his career, Brother Long was a barber in a hair salon with a very meager income. Because he had no money, he could only live with three or four colleagues in a small house of twenty or thirty square meters.
Although the place is small, they are not depressed. At the end of each day's hard work, they would lie in bed at night and talk about their ideals and brag. Although Brother Long is no longer the master who cut people's hairs back then, he still misses the days when he had roommates to brag about it together.
After being discovered by VG, Brother Long gradually became the core figure of the team, and the teammates who lived in the same room with him back then have long since retired or transferred. In the past two years, VG's junglers have all been Han aid, and they need to be taken care of by Hou Ye, who are not familiar with the place, and they must be in the same room with Hou Ye, and Ding Huang and Duan on the lower road also live together. Since no substitute can stand in the first team, Brother Long's roommates are changed and changed, and he is often the only one living in a room, which makes him very frustrated.
Fortunately, now that Tang Ning is here, Brother Long believes that with his strength, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the LPL. In this way, he can finally have a stable roommate.
Brother Long happily took Tang Ning to their room, pointed to the bed against the wall with his left hand and said, "You can sleep there in the future, and tell me if you have anything to help." ”
Brother Long explained the location of some daily necessities, and then retreated and asked Tang Ning to sort out his personal belongings.
With almost a month to go before the start of the new season, the coach left the base due to physical reasons, and the players were just playing to maintain their condition. Tang Ning packed up his things, also came to his seat, and began the road to qualifying.
"That's right, Downing." Brother Long saw Tang Ning start to play ranking, and suddenly remembered something, "Our team has signed a contract with Seafood TV, and our players have to broadcast live on Seafood TV for a certain amount of time every month." Although you have just joined our team and will ask you to live stream next month, you can also go to their staff first to get the live broadcast room and try out the live broadcast experience. ”
"Uh, okay, I got it." Downing also remembered that he had indeed seen such a clause in the contract. Although he is not interested in live broadcasting, he has to do what is written in the contract after signing the contract.
Seafood TV is moving very quickly, and within five minutes of Tang Ning looking for their customer service, a super tube contacted him. After confirming his identity, a live broadcast room was immediately arranged for him.
"How the hell is this thing set up!" Tang Ning looked at the audio settings, channel settings, and picture settings, which made his head big.
Xiao Duan came over to help Tang Ning tune it out, and then went back to his computer to open his live broadcast room and let Tang Ning say a few words. After making sure that Tang Ning's voice could be heard in the live broadcast room, Xiao Duan gave him an "OK" gesture.
"Thank you Xiaoduan, I really don't know this thing, I've never touched it." Tang Ning was a little embarrassed, he felt as if he knew a little less.
