All-round Mid Laner

Vol 2: New World Chapter 79

On January 15th, preseason games of Season 10 formally began.

The teams of the top bracket gathered in the capital city to compete, while the teams of the bottom bracket gathered in Star City, to the south. The nine teams in each bracket would cycle through the others. Preseason games were scheduled to conclude within a week, which meant the schedule was tightly packed. The games would be streamed live online as well.

Tianhuan's randomly drawn battle schedule was very quickly sent into the team's group chat-

On the 15th, they would play against Jingzhe. On the 16th, they would face Binghun. On the 17th, Yueying...

Yan Bin mournfully sent a string of crying emojis into the chat and wrote: [This is too much of a nightmare!]

They were going to have three boss fights in a row!

Xie Xiaotian: [I've been abused by Yang-ge so much that I'm used to it already.]

Xie Xiaotian: [So what if we get killed? Just respawn and fight on~]

After this period of being slaughtered by Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo in practice, the newbies on Team Two had already developed much more durable dispositions. Although their chances of victory in these games against powerful teams weren't good, they would go forth and fight at their full might.

Coach Lin wrote: [Don't put too much weight on the outcome of the preseason games. The most important thing for you guys is the opportunity to play against these high-level pros. Just do your best, try to get into Group A. If you can't, I won't scold you. Don't worry about anything and just play.]

The members of the second-string team acknowledged: [Understood!]

On the night of January 15th, Tianhuan vs Jingzhe was set to begin.

Although the youths of Tianhuan's second-string team managed to hold out for more than thirty minutes in both of their first two games, they were still ultimately defeated 2-0 by Jingzhe.

Netizens flamed them like mad.

Under Tianhuan's official club Weibo, fans all came in to voice their doubts-

[What is Tianhuan trying to do this season? Sending their second-string team to play in the preseason games?]

[I was so freaking excited that I set an alarm for the livestream, but then I didn't see Captain Chi. I didn't see Old Qin or Qu Jiang. I saw a bunch of second-string kiddies flailing around up there?]

[You guys playing the part of fools? You guys like losing fans? @CoachLinFeng]

[Sending your second-string team out to play the preseason games... are you looking down on your opponents or are you looking down on yourselves?]

[Tianhuan is losing it, their minds are drifting away, all the way into outer space. They're using the preseason games to train their troops!]

[Hehe, you guys don't understand Coach Lin's deep considerations. By sending Team Two out there, they'll have an excuse even if they lose. If Chi Shuo leads the team out there and still loses, how shameful would that be?]
