"Ran Bao is fierce. Reward yourself for staying up all night tonight."
"I suggest you reward yourself for showing your face in the live broadcast. Of course, it's just a suggestion."
"I'm quite curious about Ran Bao's appearance. Just listening to his gentle voice can't satisfy me."
"Cold knowledge: people with nice voices usually don't have good looks."
Lin Yan glanced at the bullet screen. "The base computer doesn't have a camera. You'll know what I look like when I play in the LSPL in January. It's best to wear goggles when you watch me play. Be careful not to blind your eyes."
The bullet screen was filled with question marks.
"Is the host pretending?"
"I've never seen such a shameless person!"
Lin Yan ignored the bullet screen and said a few words before leaving the live broadcast. He went to bed with the excited Xiao Tian.
The news of Lin Yan reaching the top spread in the morning. More and more people remembered the ID YM Ran. It was another wave of advertising for Team YM. Now, Sao Zhu was showing off his talented players in the live broadcast room every day.
The project manager of the League of Legends division on the Dousha platform had been smiling for two days. Lin Yan's reaching the top had destroyed Humeo Platform's plan to continue promoting the invincible DOPA player. They had made a huge profit.
After hearing that the kid who reached the top of the canyon was actually a player under Chubby, he immediately gave Team YM a binding contract. Everything would be in accordance with the rules of the Fist vs. Professional Player contract.
But the manager, Hao, didn't agree to sign the live broadcast contract so quickly.
"The four kids have just started playing professionally. You know how tempting that live broadcast contract is. You're harming them by letting them sign the live broadcast contract at this time!"
Hao was white and thin. He looked like a weak scholar, but his words were sonorous and powerful.
"They should calm down and focus on training instead of wasting their time on asking for gifts!"
Chubby Toot wanted to understand the reason and refused the contract invitation of the shark fighting platform.
Time passed quickly. After the first batch of kings were born at the summit of the canyon, the pre-season version finally made its debut. The changes to the jungle, the rework of Nanqiang, and the arrival of new talents made the following S6 season exciting.
The results of YM's practice matches over the past few days were quite good. Lin Yan was playing at the limit in every game. Even when the minions were about to reach the bottom of the tower, he still went to the sidelines to catch people, allowing Xiao Tian to fill in the lane. This made Chubby and coach Hanyi tremble in fear.
After another crushing victory, coach Hanyi pulled Lin Yan aside to question him. "The way you play is too risky. Sometimes I don't understand why you have to go to the bottom lane at that time."
"If even you think that I won't go to the bottom lane at that time, then the opponent should think so too," Lin Yan replied. "This kind of opposite effect is very good."
Hanyi thought for a moment and realized that she really couldn't find any reason to refute. Lin Yan was right. If the opponent was sure that you would fill in the lane, the success rate of roaming support would definitely be much higher.
But why did she feel that something was wrong?
Hanyi pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
Lin Yan looked at the 3300 points in the system interface happily. This was the result of his two months of hard work.
The opening day of the LSPL would be a week later. As a rising star team, YM was arranged by Teng Jing to appear in the opening match, giving Chubby enough face.
These were the IDs that the four fledgling kids had reported for themselves. If nothing went wrong, these IDs would accompany them throughout their career.
Jin Gong's ID had already been reported before. He didn't want to let the little bit of popularity that he had worked so hard to accumulate run away, so he simply didn't change it and stood out among the five YM players.
The week before the start of the competition was full of schedule. Filming a documentary, taking makeup photos, hospital physical examinations … In addition to the heavy training competition tasks, Lin Yan had no time to play ranked games to earn system points.
During the makeup shoot, the staff on the scene was very enthusiastic about Lin Yan. They insisted that he occupy the center position of the LSPL promotional video and stand together with AmazingJ, another star player from EDE (EDG Team Two).
According to the director, Lin Yan's face could be remembered at a glance. It was a good tool to attract fans. It would be a pity not to use it. In addition, Lin Yan had just reached the top of the canyon a few days ago. His popularity was still good and he was considered a celebrity among the young players.
AmazingJ, who was standing beside him, was a chubby and naive young man. His skin was as dark as Gao Zhenning's, and when compared to Lin Ran, who was tall and had fair skin, he looked very out of place.
On January 18th, the LSPL Spring Competition officially kicked off. Lin Yan and his teammates carried their bags and got on the bus to Jing 'an Sports Center.
Lin Yan didn't rest well the whole night yesterday, and the sky was the same. Until three o 'clock in the morning, Lin Yan could still feel the slight sound of him tossing and turning.
"Don't be nervous," Jin Gong comforted his teammates with his half-baked Mandarin. "I was like this when I played my first professional game. After the first game, you won't have to worry about these problems anymore."
"That's right," said Chubby, who was accompanying them. "The LSPL stadium isn't big. Usually, not many spectators come to watch the game. If you play in the international tournament in the future, won't your hands tremble when you go on stage with tens of thousands of spectators?"
"Put on your headphones and get rid of distracting thoughts. Don't think about these things." Manager Hao gave an idea.
Lin Yan took out his phone. There were several unread messages from Su Cheng.
[Lin Yan, believe in yourself.]
[Good luck in the opening match!]
Lin Yan reached out his finger and gently touched the chat box. He didn't tell Su Cheng about the opening match. He didn't know how long it took her to find this inconspicuous news about the opening match of the secondary league.
[Thank you.]
Lin Yan replied with a period. He exited the chat with Su Cheng. There were only a few messages left on the WeChat interface.
His father, Lin Mingdong, hadn't sent a message. His message history was still stuck at the transfer notification from a month ago.
Tian, who was sitting next to him, was leaning against the car window and talking on the phone. From the sound of it, it was obvious that his parents were calling.
Xiao Tian and his parents had a very good relationship. When he first arrived at the base, he didn't stop calling them.
The bus turned a corner, and the Jing 'an Sports Center was right in front of them. Lin Yan looked at the silent phone again before putting it back in his bag.
Lin Yan closed his eyes and took two deep breaths. He threw all the miscellaneous matters to the back of his mind and followed Manager Hao out of the bus.
They walked along the long player corridor and entered the lounge. The large room was filled with many players from different teams. They were laughing and laughing.
This year's LSPL Spring Competition adopted a BO1 double round-robin system. A total of 16 teams would play eight matches a day, three days a week. It was impossible for each team to have a separate lounge. Under normal circumstances, everyone would gather together, and each team would leave the venue after the match.
