Chapter 9 OMG’s decision
"Sudden! World suffered a broken arm and may be retired for the season!"
It's night, OMG e-sports club base.
Head coach Mingzhe is sitting at his desk, with tired eyes open, watching today's game video, analyzing the reasons why his players failed, and summarizing experiences and lessons.
"Why didn't Jiekou open the big one this time? He didn't open the F6, nor did he open the high ground. In the end, he died and let the empty big go."
Mingzhe spread his hands helplessly, still unable to understand.
The performance of the OMG team today can only be described as "disappointing".
Especially Jiekou, who sleepwalked three times, walked around the jungle the whole time, and could count the number of ganks on one hand.
Although League of Legends is a team game, and a team's defeat is certainly not the fault of one person, Jiekou's performance was really eye-catching. Several waves of cerebral hemorrhage operations made Mingzhe so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
Moreover, Hou Tinghou's boss and manager Qi Yu were both present at the time. They originally thought they could win easily, but instead they were shaved off by their mortal enemy IM.
If the team loses, it is a minor matter, but if you lose face, it is a major matter.
After the game, facing the cold reception from the boss and criticism from the manager, Mingzhe could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
"Da, da, da."
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Mingzhe raised his head, watched Qi Yu walk in quickly, stood up from his chair, and asked respectfully:
"Manager, why are you late? What can I do?"
The other party is his immediate boss, and Mingzhe does not dare to neglect him at all.
"Mingzhe, sit down."
Qi Yu was polite first and said to Mingzhe vaguely:
"You should have heard all the news on the Internet, right?"
"Well, I just saw that the fans were very dissatisfied with our performance today."
Mingzhe nodded tremblingly, with a trace of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Qi Yu was so aggressive that he looked like he was coming to investigate.
After all, OMG’s performance in this German Cup is difficult to satisfy.
The top four of the Spring Split were sent to the top eight of the German Cup, but in the end they were beaten 3:0 by the evil force IM. They couldn't even win a small game. It's really unreasonable.
However, eight is greater than four. From an optimistic point of view, the German Cup quarter-finals may not be an improvement.
"That's not it." Qi Yu found a seat and sat down. He was not in the mood to cross his legs and said a little heavily, "I'm here to talk to you about World 6."
"Broken arm, reimbursed for summer season."
"The summer split will start in a few days, and the situation is very unfavorable for us!"
When Mingzhe heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief on the spot.
Phew, fortunately the manager is not here to accuse.
"Well," Mingzhe nodded solemnly, "this matter is indeed more difficult to handle."
This year's spring split, OMG was able to transform from a relegation team to the top four in the playoffs, and World6 is indispensable.
But unfortunately, just a week after the summer transfer window closed, he suffered a major incident like a broken arm.
It’s simply like riding on a rocket because of unlucky circumstances. It’s unlucky to fly to heaven.
OMG currently has no one in the lineup. There is only one Jiekou in the jungle position who can barely support him. There is no way to recruit players from other clubs. The situation is quite bad.
"Boss Hou and shareholders also watched this afternoon's game. They were very dissatisfied with Jiekou's performance."
Qi Yu frowned, looking worried. He hesitated for a moment and asked again:
"You said, if Jiekou is used as the jungler in the summer split, what results can we achieve?"
"Well..."
Mingzhe rubbed the stubble on his chin with one hand, groaned, and then hesitantly said:
"If Jiekou is lucky, he can reach the semi-finals."
"Good luck? Top four?!"
When Qi Yu heard this, he couldn't sit still on the spot.
Mingzhe spread his hands and quickly explained:
"Manager, you also know that Jiekou's playing style does not fit the meta, and his control of rhythm is not as good as World6."
"What about OMD's youth training? Is there anyone you can like? Bring it up and practice!"
"The LPL stage is too broad, and it's still too early for the boys from the second team. Now bringing them up to the first team, even as substitutes, will be counterproductive."
"Young people can't do it, but what about the veteran Juejue? Can he be allowed to return to the first team and use his spare energy?" Qi Yu suddenly thought of a familiar face that was honest and honest.
Juejue is a veteran of OMG. He served as a jungler for OMG in the first two seasons and helped OMG successfully avoid relegation twice. He can also be regarded as a veteran of OMG.
"Juejue's condition has declined too seriously. Although he has rich game experience, he can't play in the LPL now and will definitely be abused."
After Mingzhe said that, he slowly shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"Moreover, this summer, several mid-range teams have made targeted reinforcements. Even if we lose one of our generals, it will be a blessing to reach the semi-finals in the summer split."
When Qi Yu heard this, he was silent for a long time.
As the team manager, he naturally knows that what Mingzhe said makes sense.
After a long time, Mingzhe finally broke the tranquility.
"What I'm worried about now is that if Jiekou makes another mistake, we will have no jungle available."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"
Qi Yu raised his eyes and met Mingzhe's gaze: "What do you mean?"
Mingzhe suddenly became serious and said seriously: "Manager, I think it is necessary for us to find another jungler from the free market to fill the vacancy left by the injury in World6."
This idea has been echoing in his mind since World6 was suddenly injured yesterday, and it has been difficult to dissipate for a long time.
"Is this... possible?"
Qi Yu is not optimistic about Mingzhe's proposal.
After the transfer period, the big fish in the free market have long been signed by major clubs, and now there are at most some little shrimps left.
Even a has-been player like Taobao Quan, who has little ability, has been caught on board by NB.
"As of now, this is all we can do." Mingzhe said firmly.
"Then do you have a favorite candidate? He should be strong and the salary should not be too expensive."
As the manager of the club, he must consider the interests of the club's shareholders.
When you don’t have much money, you must choose players with good quality and low price.
"The World6 season will be canceled and I will not be able to play in the game. I can only receive a basic salary, which should be able to free up some salary space."
"Yes!"
Mingzhe suddenly became energetic and quickly picked up a resume that he had prepared long ago from the table and handed it to Qi Yu with both hands.
Qi Yu took the resume and glanced at the beginning of the resume.
"Zhong Sen, EDGClock, I have some impression of this ID..."
"He is no longer from EDG. His contract expired a few days ago."
"Did he submit this resume himself?" Qi Yu asked.
"No, Abu pushed it here." Mingzhe explained.
Qi Yu quickly browsed through his resume and concluded: "The resume is good. I have been in many clubs and I have competition experience, but I am a bit older."
"He works as a substitute for the factory director in EDG. Although his Korean rank is not high, he still has the strength of a grandmaster."
Mingzhe paused for a moment, turned to look at Qi Yu, and continued:
"The most important thing is that Abramovich said that Clock has a very strong desire to play games and there is a lot of room for negotiation in terms of salary."
When Qi Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his view of Zhong Sen changed drastically.
What kind of bicycle does a veteran with a monthly salary of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan need?
Just think of it as scratching a lottery ticket!
"Then... just sign him?"
"Are you sure? I'll contact him now."
Qi Yu nodded and urged: "Hurry up and call us and make an appointment for a training match. Boss Hou, I will go and ask for instructions right away."
