LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 60: I'm already studying LPL's opponents.

The S5 World Championship has finally come to a close at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin.

SKT successfully lifted the trophy, and Faker, the legendary mid laner of Season 3, completed his self-rebirth, winning a double championship with jungler Bengi, becoming a glorious chapter in the history of League of Legends esports.

Logically speaking, apart from a small number of die-hard SKT fans, most LPL players wouldn't want to click in to watch this LCK internal battle final.

After all, all three LPL teams were eliminated in the World Championship;

EDG was thrashed by FNC in the quarterfinals, LGD transformed into an "optimistic team" and made a reverse breakthrough in the group stage, and IG didn't even make it out of the group stage.

This turned the entire S5 World Championship into a nightmare that all LPL players can't shake off.

During this period, the Anti-Pressure Bar was filled with posts every day saying "LPL has no shame" and "Korean players are here to retire," and many people even uninstalled the game client.

However, no one expected that Crush would suddenly emerge this year.

While other regions were still focused on the results of the LCK internal battles and analyzing how SKT gradually rebuilt itself and stepped onto the podium, the LPL, thanks to Huya's aggressive promotion, saw a secondary commentary livestream that might have been ignored rise to the top of the platform's popularity rankings and become the second most searched topic on Weibo.

One player joked, "DaYunGe single-handedly carried the LPL's traffic during the S5 World Championship."

That is, after the live broadcast of the finals ended, everyone who watched it, whether they were ordinary players in the Silver rank or professional players and club managers in the training base—had only one sentence echoing in their minds:

"How can the human brain be so intelligent?"

This is not an exaggeration at all.

The four-game match was a test of both sides' strategies from the draft phase, to the analysis of the pros and cons of each decision during mid-game lane swaps and resource exchanges, and finally to the reconstruction of team fight positioning and handling details in the late game.

Crush practically held up an instruction manual, dissecting and dissecting the psychological battle between the two top teams, and throwing it all out in front of everyone.

What's most terrifying is that almost every word he said came true in the events that followed.

Although the person on the live stream kept emphasizing that he had such a judgment from God's perspective, even those who didn't know the industry understood how terrifying it was.

It's important to understand that, let alone analyzing the tactical decisions of the two teams from a god-like perspective, even the pre-match version research and draft picks are something the entire LPL region hasn't figured out.

After expressing their feelings, the entire LPL community was quickly stunned by a more practical question:

Faced with such a genius with exceptional individual athletic talent and top-notch coaching skills, what conditions should the club offer to recruit him?

Crush is definitely not a young person who is easily fooled.

This is a consensus that has been widely reached among people in the industry in just over a week.

His behavior after becoming famous overnight reveals a lot – after signing with a live streaming platform, he didn't rush to leave the semi-professional BJBS team and join a top LPL team. Instead, he focused on leading the team in the city championship.

While everyone thought he was just "gaining experience," he led a group of unknown teammates to crush their opponents, winning in the most decisive way, and now they are about to secure the spot that can be said to be a sure thing for them to advance to LSPL.

The subsequent live broadcast of the finals was entirely a showcase of their skills, and was undoubtedly an attempt to promote themselves to the outside world.

How could someone with such a mind be simple-minded?

For a time, the managers of the major clubs were in a state of panic.

The question now is, what exactly does this "genius rookie" Crush want?

Is he the absolute core of the team, as unshakeable as Faker?

Does he have absolute control over the training and competition team, deciding everything from draft picks to tactical systems with a single word?

Or... what other, more generous, more realistic, more direct conditions?

……

The storm outside was getting fiercer and fiercer, and the managers of various clubs were eager to expose Crush completely, analyzing his goals, bargaining chips, and psychological weaknesses.

Weibo, Tieba, and Hupu are all buzzing with new gossip every day. Today they say he's going to EDG, tomorrow they say he's been poached by WE with a high salary, and the day after tomorrow they say he secretly met with NB—truth and falsehood are mixed together, creating a huge uproar.

However, all this commotion has temporarily become irrelevant to Fu Shiyan.

He now lives a simple yet fulfilling life;

During the day, I would spend my time in the training room coaching those four guys from BJBS, meticulously working on everything from the simplest laning details to vision control, from coordination and rhythm to team fight positioning, one point at a time.

At night, he would lock himself in his room and study the match videos of all the current LPL teams—from the Spring Split to the Summer Split, from the group stage to the playoffs. He compiled all the team’s playstyle, drafting tendencies, and player hero pools into tables and densely marked them in his notebook.

Thanks for the invitation. I'm currently in the City Championship and am already studying the LPL's opponents.

What? You're asking me why I don't study LSPL's opponents?

Please, if he can't even beat a second-tier league, how can he negotiate with those big-spending clubs, and how can he fight for control of the team's future?

Therefore, Fu Shiyan was not in a hurry at all.

As long as the competition continues, BJBS's performance and his exposure will not stop. The results of the City Championship are just the beginning—if that's not enough, he will lead BJBS to continue fighting in the LSPL, all the way to the LPL, until no one can ignore his value.

Anyway, Boss Mo still gets his 50 cents and 1 yuan salary and bonuses. It's all just working. Before he can gain control of the team, it's better to stay here than to go to the LPL and be a high-level employee.

Besides, he had been training those four young guys from BJBS for over a month, reviewing their games, giving them special training, and practicing their teamwork every day. Even if we don't say they're perfect, they could easily beat mid-tier LPL teams.

He was absolutely confident about this.

Time flies, and it's November 14th.

The day before the finals of the 9th League of Legends City Championship.

In the training room, Fu Shiyan was leading the team in explaining various details about their opponents in the finals.

"Xiao Fu, come to my office."

Mo Ziye smiled brightly, raised her hand to greet him, and her eyes and brows were filled with undisguised joy.

It's no wonder he was happy—BJBS had been on a winning streak during this period, advancing from the group stage to the finals without a single defeat.

Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's finals, they have already secured their spots in the LSPL.

As the team owner, Mo Ziye could laugh in his sleep.

Oh, to correct you, in the finals, unless someone rigged the match, there was absolutely no way BJBS could not win the championship.

You said the opponent in the finals is PDD's MGB?

Excuse me, I have a heavy-duty transport vehicle here!

"OK."

Fu Shiyan nodded, then turned to the team members and instructed them, "You guys play some ranked games to keep your skills up. I'll be right back." He then put down his laptop, stretched his wrists, and got up to leave.

Why would Boss Mo contact me with the finals coming up so close?
