Chapter 497: What does the selection of candidates for the Asian Games have to do with EDG?
No one asked Chen Ke for the specific reason, anyway, everyone nodded along with him, and he was still more cooperative.
No matter what Chen Ke's plan was, they sounded right.
Besides, in the game, no matter whether Chen Ke says it or not, everyone will make a dead hand.
Who has nothing to do and still shows mercy to his subordinates.
When preparing for the game, everyone watched the playoffs start, and the V5 people also rushed to Suzhou.
This year's playoffs were held in Suzhou, which is the home of the Li Ning team.
Since the beginning of this year, Li Ning has replaced Nike as the new sponsor of LPL.
Putting the playoffs there can be regarded as giving the sponsors a face, after all, people spend money.
After coming to Suzhou, the whole V5 team did not go out in the hotel.
We found an e-sports hotel where we could train and rest.
Tengjing is only responsible for booking a hotel for you to stay, but it's not like every year when the S competition is held, and a training place is prepared for you in the hotel.
It's not a matter of simple layout, and many hotels can't keep up with the network.
Therefore, it is often seen that some teams go to other places to play games, and they may find some Internet cafes for training.
When Chen Ke and the others came over, the playoffs were about to enter the semifinals.
In this year's playoffs, the most surprising thing is the BLG team.
BLG's regular season ranking is not very high, and everyone didn't take them seriously at first.
Getting to the playoffs is a round trip, and at most reaching the quarterfinals, no one cares.
Who knew that after they changed coaches, they would play better and better in the playoffs.
It even picked off the Li Ning team, which ranked fourth in the regular season, and directly entered the semi-finals and had the repechage A.
In this way, the top four teams of this year's LPL Spring Tournament have all been determined.
JD.com, V5, EDG, and BLG.
If you take a closer look, you can see that EDG is a bit out of place in this top four.
Because the other three teams all have V5 champions.
V5 won't mention it, JD and BLG are the teams where 369 and toothpaste are located.
In fact, from another point of view, Jingdong also belongs to the kind that is incompatible with the other three.
In addition to them, the remaining three are all all-Chinese teams.
Three of the top four are all-Chinese teams, which is also a good thing for LPL.
It shows that there are more and more teams willing to stick to the all-Chinese class.
It's just that no one cares about this for the time being, everyone is talking about V5's contribution to the entire LPL.
In addition to winning the championship, even if the championship lineup is disbanded, it will be good for the entire LPL.
Before it was disbanded, it was a monopoly, but after it was disbanded, it made the entire LPL look more competitive.
It just verifies the saying, "Gathering is a fire, and scattering is a sky full of stars."
It's a pity that Weibo is a little bit less interesting, and their lineup obviously looks more competitive than BLG.
As a result, the record was far behind, and it was BLG that even sent them away in the playoffs.
If Weibo can compete for some gas and enter the top four, then the entire LPL is really the world of V5.
The results of the Weibo Spring Tournament are not worthy of their lineup, and it can only be said that the problem of the coach is relatively big.
Hou Ye's character is not suitable for being a coach.
Anyway, Chen Ke has never seen a coach who usually plays Rank more than players.
Usually you only review, but when you review, you don't scold the players.
When there are more big names in the team, he really can't manage it, and it is normal for him to have bad results.
I really want to change a coach who has something, and I also have the strength to enter the top four of the LPL.
……
Not unexpectedly, Chen Ke and they are going to face EDG in the semifinals.
The closer we get to the game, the more relaxed we are.
Because they have studied EDG a lot, they are naturally full of confidence in this game, and they have even been looking forward to it for a long time.
Since Chen Ke wants to torture EDG hard, it proves that he will definitely play.
If Chen Ke plays, then this game will be good-looking, and even his teammates are looking forward to it.
Unexpectedly, two days before the game, the people on the EDG side found Chen Ke.
The person looking for Chen Ke is Abu, who is the main helmsman of EDG, and he has the greatest say in addition to the boss.
Of course, he found Chen Ke, which has nothing to do with the semifinals of the LPL.
It's for the Asian Games.
The Asian Games, which are still a few months away, are the first time that they have become an official event because they are held locally.
From top to bottom, he attaches great importance to it, and shows the attitude and determination to win.
Tengjing took over this matter, and the pressure was also very high.
S7 and S10, Tengjing has already messed things up twice, but those two times combined may not be as significant as this Asian Games.
The main person in charge of the Asian Games still chose Abu.
In the area of domestic coaching, Abu's qualifications are still too high, and when this person was a coach, he did get a lot of results.
The most important thing is that he led the team to win the gold medal in the Asian Games exhibition match five years ago, and it is normal to continue to use him this time.
After Abu took over this matter, he pounced on it, and to put it bluntly, he didn't pay much attention to how the EDG playoffs were playing this year.
The moment they got this lineup from EDG this year, they were going to mess around for a year, and who knew that the regular season would be pretty good.
Then everyone will continue to play normally in the playoffs, and it is already in line with expectations to reach the top four.
There's V5 with JD.com, and I can't win the championship, so there's really nothing to worry about.
Get more points in the spring and the summer to make a splash at the Worlds.
Being able to enter the World Championship is already a great success for this kind of lineup that doesn't spend much money.
After spending a small amount of money to do big things, and then handling the Asian Games well, Abu feels that his peak may be coming.
The first step in the Asian Games is to choose people.
How to build the lineup and who to choose are all particular.
Unlike five years ago, it was more casual, and not too many people said anything when the lineup was selected.
At most, Xiaohu fans are scolding, because he didn't choose RNG at that time.
This year, there is too much attention, and if the lineup is not well chosen, there will be a lot of pressure from public opinion.
Now there are too many online reports, and it's really a big fuss, which is not a good thing for the entire LPL.
In many cases, it is not that the iron fist wants to clean up, but that there are too many people who report it.
For Abu, this year's selection is not very difficult.
Because there is one person who is sure of it, and that is Chen Ke.
No one can not go, but Chen Ke must go to the Asian Games this time.
This is not a question of qualifications, if Chen Ke doesn't go, the national team really doesn't have much confidence that he can win the championship.
If Chen Ke doesn't go, first of all, public opinion will not be able to get by.
As long as Chen Ke settles down, the others will choose again, and it will be about the same.
……
I met Abu a few times, but I didn't communicate with him all the time.
Today, Abu came to find Chen Ke, mainly because everyone was in Suzhou, so it was more convenient.
Just make an appointment to talk about it first.
This time, the selection has not officially begun, and Abu is looking for Chen Ke, just to hear his thoughts.
After all, Chen Ke is the core, whether it is sincere or pretentious, he needs to communicate with Chen Ke in advance.
Before coming over to meet Abu, Chen Ke also knew what he was looking for.
Met in a more private place, just the two of them, and the conversation didn't have to worry about being heard.
When they first met, the two talked directly about the Asian Games.
At the beginning, Abu was saying that he was introducing Chen Ke to the process of the Asian Games, and when it would be reviewed.
I could hear the excitement in my tone, and I obviously knew what it would mean to him after winning the gold medal this time.
In the future, he will be in this circle, and his status and prestige are unimaginable.
"In terms of coaching, I decided to make Mai Zijian the head coach of the Asian Games."
Abu first pulled up the choice of coach.
He's the head of the team this year, and he's the kind behind the scenes, so he's definitely not going to be a coach anymore.
In fact, there is no suspense about the choice of coach, to put it bluntly, it depends on honor and qualifications.
You can still talk about the state and so on, but the coach is really too senior.
As long as you have led the team to get some results in the past, even if you encounter Waterloo later, you will not worry about finding a job in the future.
For example, Zhu Kai, who was originally in the timeline, became a Grand Slam coach.
Even if the reputation disappears after the Asian Games, as long as the salary requirements are not so high, you can still find a job if you want to.
S8 took IG to win the championship of the Golden Pig, and after returning to the LCK, it can be said that the operation is getting more and more outrageous year by year.
The champion coach who can be fired by the team in the middle of the team for two consecutive years is still two different teams, and he is definitely the first.
After DRX kicked him, he won the championship directly.
It stands to reason that this kind of coach is quite scary, but there is still no shortage of good teams to use him.
The coaches used in the Asian Games must be domestic.
In 18 years, there were two Korean coaches from RNG who were behind the scenes, and after it became an official project this year, the coaching team was not allowed to appear even Koreans.
Among the domestic coaches, whose qualifications can hold down the tip of the wheat?
In the past two years of V5, he has won two consecutive championships, and the head coach can only be him, and no one else can take over this position.
South Korea is also a truth, in 18 years I found the coach of Samsung, and this year I made Kuma the head coach of the Asian Games, to put it bluntly, these two people have enough qualifications.
Mai Zijian is the coach, and Chen Ke naturally has no opinion.
Or your own acquaintances, it will be more convenient when the time comes.
As soon as Chen Ke nodded, Abu said: "Deputy Sect, I plan to let Zhu Kai and Dashu together, with the two of them to assist Mai Zijian, to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
Chen Ke: "? ”
Chen Ke also never expected that he could still think of letting Zhu Kai become a coach.
At present, Zhu Kai's qualifications are equivalent to nothing, and he looks very thin.
Even if he is an assistant coach, Chen Ke feels reluctant.
If you want to say that Zhu Kai is a Grand Slam coach, there is really no way to refuse.
At the moment, you are nothing, Chen Ke is still polite.
simply said: "I don't think it's suitable for the two of them, just let the V5 coaching team come directly." ”
The words weren't too ugly, but they were relatively straightforward.
Chen Ke doesn't have much opinion on Mao Kai, and he can be regarded as a coach in the industry, mainly because of Zhu Kai.
Even if it doesn't affect anything with him, Chen Ke doesn't want him to become a gold medal coach.
Abu's face changed slightly, but he steadied himself.
He knew what Chen Ke meant, and he also knew that what Chen Ke said made sense.
I wanted to stuff the two coaches in, but I also wanted to test Chen Ke's attitude.
If Chen Ke thinks it doesn't matter, then there is no problem.
As long as Chen Ke speaks, there will be no objections, and if necessary, Chen Ke can be pulled out to block the gun.
At present, Chen Ke's attitude is so resolute, and he almost does not give any leeway, which Abu did not think much.
But then Abu was relieved, it is true that Chen Ke is different from most professional players.
He's not like other players, and when he discusses something, he usually says, "I'll do it."
"The question of coaching is tentatively based on the V5 coaching team anyway, and there are still some processes to go through in the future."
"The main thing is the selection of the players, I mean there is no need to engage in such a big battle to select people this time."
"It's mainly based on the players of the top four teams this time."
"After this year's MSI fight, the selection will probably be arranged."
“……”
While Abu was still talking, Chen Ke's thoughts had already flown out a little.
At present, Abu's thinking on selecting people has indeed changed.
I didn't plan to pull all the players who could be ranked in the whole LPL, and then divide them into one, second, and three rounds of selection.
The main reason is that V5 is too strong, in addition to Chen Ke, V5 must have someone to be selected.
With the addition of substitutes, there are a total of six positions, and each position is extremely precious.
Remove the V5 people, in fact, there are not so many positions left, and they are directly selected from the top four teams.
It doesn't sound like a problem, and it saves a lot of steps.
The most important thing is to make it easier for the people of Absai EDG to get in.
In Abu's view, this year's Asian Games are very stable.
Chen Ke has been winning the LCK with the V5 World Championship in the past two years, which has made many people not take the Korean team seriously.
If I can win, I will stuff my own people into it, and then take a gold medal, and it will be very helpful for EDG to go back.
Everybody's good, that's really good.
As the person in charge of the Asian Games, as long as he wins the gold medal this time, his share of credit will definitely not be able to run away.
But he is also a shareholder of EDG, and he has been tied to EDG in his life, and he must want to help EDG get some benefits.
Chen Ke smiled when he heard this, he knew from the beginning that Abu had this thought.
So I plan to beat EDG in the playoffs first, so that public opinion is not biased against them.
Unexpectedly, Abu came up first.
Since this is the case, Chen Ke will not be polite.
Squinted his eyes and asked: "When selecting people for the Asian Games, we must definitely choose players who are strong and in good condition." ”
"But what does this have to do with EDG?"
[Real Point +2000]
Chen Ke's words directly caused a critical effect and silenced Abu.
To be honest, over the years, no player has spoken to him in such a tough tone.
Chen Ke didn't care about these at all.
No matter how old you are in the circle, what does it have to do with me, when did LPL engage in the respect and inferiority of the elderly?
Since they are determined to win the gold medal in the Asian Games, they want to share this piece of pork at their doorstep.
Wouldn't it be better for me to share with my own people, why should I cheapen you?
You see that I'm not happy anymore, can you take me to the Asian Games?
The Asian Games can be without you, but definitely not without me!
With the absolute initiative, Chen Ke is too lazy to pay attention to emotional intelligence.
You have high emotional intelligence here, thinking about not offending people.
Maybe people will look back and think that you have acquiesced and done things quietly.
Therefore, it is best to block the road before the selection of people begins.
