Chapter 03: The Method of Breaking the Situation

ㅤ
A meeting room in the headquarters building of the Chinese Gun King E-sports Alliance.

Yu Mingxiang put away her phone and looked at the alpha next to her, eyes full of joy. “Vice-chairman Qi, he agreed!”

Qi Heng laughed heartily. “I guessed he would agree! He has been paying attention to Gun King for several years and there are still people in China he can’t rest assured about. You played the emotional card well. Everything will be fine as long as he comes back.”

Yu Mingxiang frowned and spoke with some worry. “However, the conditions proposed by Ah Yu is that he must have absolute coaching power. He has the final say in terms of how the national team is selected or the lineup arrangement of the starting and substitute players. Will the above people agree? This involves a lot of interest disputes, right?”

There was a hint of coldness in Qi Heng’s eyes. “I will find a way to do this. There are too many problems in the national team and it is time to take care of them. In the last season, sponsors spent money to let their star players enter the team. The result? The game was a mess and it was too shameful.”

Yu Mingxiang: “……”

The person who ‘spent money to enter the team’ as Qi Heng said was the main sniper of the previous national team, Mo Hantian. He was the winner of the Best Newcomer Award in the domestic A-grade League and his professional league registration was ‘Devil’. This meant a demon king in English. Fans also called him the ‘Sniper Demon King’.

Mo Hantian was an alpha and was only 18 years old. He was handsome in appearance and had tens of millions of Weibo fans. He had countless financial backers behind him and the club was willing to spend a lot of money to package him. After receiving a huge amount of sponsorship, the league said they wanted to ‘establish the good image of e-sports players’ so they made him the ‘Gun King Image Ambassador’ and filmed a lot of advertisements.

Mo Hantian was in the limelight for a while. His posters were everywhere in the streets and he was more popular than top stars. As a result, he was smashed in the World Series. It wasn’t that his skills were bad but that his mentality was too poor. He was held up by fans every day and became arrogant. He thought he was really too good and his mentality collapsed after losing two games.

The Chinese team struggled in the world group stage because their sniper point couldn’t be held.

Of course, Coach Zhang bore the blame in the end.

Coach Zhang also had a hard time. He was unable to control the players at all and was scolded by the netizens to the point where he had to resign and apologize.

Most of the e-sports players were young and energetic, especially the star players with tens of millions of fans and countless comments and likes on their casual daily posts. After being praised for so long, their mentality would drift and they even forgot their original intention behind playing e-sports.

A strong coach was needed in order to control this group.

The coaches in the previous seasons were too mild-tempered and many coaches themselves weren’t very good at e-sports. Some of the professional players didn’t express it but they would think in their hearts, ‘You are so bad at the game. How can you guide me?’

If they hired a foreign coach, there was a language barrier, a high salary, the good grades would be credited to the foreign coach and they would also be ridiculed by the foreign media.

Therefore, after a private discussion between Qi Heng and Yu Mingxiang, the person they thought of was Jiang Shaoyu, the captain and coach who personally brought out the strongest dark horse team in the history of the league. His name was still engraved on the professional league’s Wall of Honor: ACE-Wing.
