Chapter 44: Fish Die, Net Breaks!
The weather in Magic City in March was gradually warming up, and by mid-month, one could already wear just a long sleeve, with the spring breeze blowing on people not feeling that icy and piercing.
But Abu at the EDG base was like falling into an ice cellar, looking extremely haggard.
“I know… the team indeed has issues with their mindset right now.”
“Don’t worry boss, I’ll handle it. The next match will end the four consecutive losses, then keep winning until the playoffs end!”
“Kuaisu Xing, indeed his tactical literacy is a bit lacking, not enough tactical reserves, can’t be flexible and varied.”
“Next season will definitely change coaches… Now just find out the reasons properly, playing like this for no reason.” Ai De Zhu actually knew it well too, but he had reached a verbal agreement with nofe.
For the Summer Split, they could switch to a top-tier coach, then add iboy, and the full roster could prepare for a big push.
Impact the World Championship again, definitely able to create historic results.
Abu hung up the phone and let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Ai De Zhu might seem casual and joking around with everyone privately, just like friends.
But the boss is still the boss after all…
If you really treat him as a friend, you’re not far from being swept out the door.
Just like telling the teacher to treat the school like home, can you really do that?
Kuaisu Xing standing at the door, after hearing the translation of what was said to him, had his expression suddenly turn very dark.
Are the four consecutive losses just a tactical issue?
The players’ state is also a big problem, from top lane to bot lane all war criminals.
How can the problem be simply pinned on him?
At this moment, there was a fire in his heart, but rank crushes man, Abu as manager is the biggest in the League of Legends branch, all personnel arrangements listen to Abu.
He as coach can’t refute even if he wants to.
And the translator at the door isn’t from the EDG club but one he brought.
After all, contracts and such, plus some benefit-related issues, if it’s EDG club staff, Kuaisu Xing worries they might mistranslate and deceive him.
In this situation, he naturally brought a translator from outside.
Later entering Abu’s office, Kuaisu Xing didn’t care what Abu actually said, his mind full of being swept out the door after the Spring Split ends.
It felt like he was humiliated…
Invited from Korea, and executed after one season.
To be honest, he was extremely angry right now.
Abu looking at Kuaisu Xing’s expression was baffled, because he hadn’t said anything harsh here.
Just encouraging Kuaisu Xing… painted a lot of big pies, the goal very simple, to make him wholeheartedly finish the Spring Split.
If he knew in advance he’d be kicked, no need to say, definitely no heart for work, but thinking of sabotaging and slacking everywhere.
Now still focus on stability…
Seeing Kuaisu Xing not in a good state, guessed it’s probably because of the team’s four consecutive losses, making his emotions bad.
Finally patted Kuaisu Xing, told him to go back and rest, then review yesterday’s match in the evening.
As for discussions on Weibo, Abu didn’t dare look at all.
Normally daily activities were checking Weibo, seeing if anything interesting happened.
But after yesterday’s four consecutive losses, the fans’ attack power was beyond imagination, even though he’d seen a lot, he still completely broke.
On the hot search list, #EDG four consecutive losses# was prominently listed, followed by a glaring “trending” word.
Click in, almost a mess of curses.
Even dug up what happened last month.
IEM event, because he couldn’t go but didn’t want other teams to steal the spotlight, claimed visa not approved, angry fans blamed it all on the Poland embassy, but a dramatic scene happened…
The Poland embassy actually replied, and said they never received EDG’s visa application.
In this situation, created the esports circle’s Blitz Poland.
Fans held back at that time, but now with this result, the backlash came, can only say the more fans curse the harsher, “one fan tops ten haters” is really not nonsense…
【Disband already, really, makes me sick, from coach to players none act human.】
【What trash coach? What garbage BP?】
【Top laner strolling, jungler sleepwalking, mid laner grounded spirit, AD instant death, support lost! Five people can’t make one brain!】
【Ai De Zhu’s money so easy to scam, this investment produces this crap?】
【Better let Unreal play, anyway losing, let him play can boost topics and shift blame.】
【No, Unreal’s popularity is very high now, not something EDG’s those players can touch, in May still participating in SSC Spring Split finals.】
Li Fan was initially the one EDG fans disliked most, but now he’s the most favored, who calls Li Fan not playing matches, plus the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds videos fermenting.
Various famous scenes, refusing sister’s duo queue, one grenade bombs four to win the game, shotgun flick shot tutorial… PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds official messaged thanks, thanking Li Fan’s videos for putting them on hot search.
Sales can be said to double day by day.
Now the data released on Weibo is already sold 300,000 copies, at this rate, many analyze breaking one million copies in a month is no problem at all.
Of course, Li Fan wouldn’t think it’s his credit.
Because by the situation, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds broke one million copies in 15 days, sold two million in a month, ultimate phenomenal game, snowball speed extremely exaggerated, broke 20 million in just half a year, and that’s just China district stats.
Otherwise, Wei Shen wouldn’t decide to switch to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Player just one and a half months after the game launched.
After all, League of Legends is developing so well, this year’s World Championship held domestically.
But to strangers, with tons of hot searches and videos, plus official thanks, the game breaking the circle at this speed is completely Li Fan’s credit.
This way, really reversed the originally bad impression.
Because as a League of Legends player he’s not just playing one game.
Saw PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds interesting and started playing.
But picking up a game definitely needs tutorials, Li Fan frequently making famous scenes naturally became the number one person.
“I’ve explained to everyone many times, shotgun flick shot is extremely fast sidestep flick out shotgun, then quickly pull back body’s operation…”
“If you can’t control rhythm well, S1897 can practice it very well.”
While saying, unfolded the tutorial.
Kuaisu Xing who just returned to the training room, hearing the voice from the corner, eyes suddenly lit up…
Isn’t a fish die net break victory still a victory?
