Chapter 75 It's hard not to have thoughts about him "What do you think of him?" Mao Kai, who was standing behind the five professional players, witnessed all of this. He raised his head slightly and looked at Guo Hao next to him and said softly, "You have to know that he has been retired for three or four years. If he is allowed to rehabilitate and train for a period of time, it is hard to imagine how amazing his strength will be." Does Su Xing have talent? Yes, and it can be described as "terrifying". Even after being silent for several years, the understanding of some version changes and the operation are almost the same as the current ones, or even better. The most important thing is that he is a domestic player, the kind with a household registration book. "To be honest, it's hard not to have some thoughts about him with his performance." Guo Hao was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said: "If it was the spring season now, I would sign him without hesitation, but now it is the summer season." As the general manager of TES, he has a unique obsession with winning the championship, but also has a bitterness that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. From 2020. No, to be more precise, he has been preparing a championship-winning lineup since 2019. Originally, they could become a dark horse and enter the World Championship in the summer of 2019. But that year the FPX team was too strong, and even when the mid and jungle swapped positions in the game, they still defeated Top Esports.
Maybe to the audience it was just a failure of a game, but he knew very well that after losing to FPX that year, the mentality of all the members of Top Esports exploded, and they were eventually eliminated by IG, which had one breath left, in the bubble match. Then, in 2020, he went through a lot of hardships to sign A Shui. During this period, he continued to lobby investors every year to strengthen the lineup, but the results year after year made him gradually tired. 尤其是刚刚结束的MSI比赛，原本2:3惜败三星让他内心燃起了一丝希望，结果没过两天反手被G2给3:0送回家了。 This made him a little confused. He didn't know whether the dream he had been pursuing for many years was correct, nor did he know whether the so-called all-Chinese team winning the championship was really an impossible thing. "Maybe we could sit down and talk with him." Maokai pondered for a moment and said, "I think he is the most suitable mid laner for TES at the moment, no doubt about it." "Everyone understands the truth, but it's about money." Guo Hao rubbed his brows and said, "Do you really think I have a mine at home? The starting price for a contract is several million. Where do you want me to rob it?" If TES had made it to the World Championship last year, they might have had the nerve to ask investors for money, but they failed to keep Rouji in the spring season and spent a lot of money to sign Xiaonaiyou, not to mention that they have to strengthen the coaching team now. How can they have any budget now? "My intuition tells me that he should stop playing professionally for money." Maokai paused for a moment and said, "If he really cared about money, why did he suddenly disappear when he was at his peak?" From S3 till now, the most lacking thing in LPL is the mid laner. Especially for the domestic midfielder who comes with his own household registration book, for Su Xingxing, winning the Best Newcomer award when he debuted is a very exaggerated resume. He can easily get a contract worth seven or eight million or even tens of millions. But he didn't do that. Instead, he thought this version of the game was boring and simply decided not to play it. Guo Hao was a little confused. I definitely want to sign, but the problem is... it's difficult. "If you have this idea, you must hurry up. We can't hide what happened tonight from others. Maybe they will also be interested in Su Xing and try to contact him." Maokai smiled. As a coach, he naturally has the obligation to recommend more suitable players to the manager, but the final decision does not lie with him. Now he has told Guo Hao all the pros and cons of this matter. As for how to weigh the pros and cons, it all depends on him.
"Well, I see." Guo Hao closed his eyes and stopped talking, as if he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Soon, several members of the TES team took off their headphones, each with an extremely grim expression. "Let's review the game." Maokai cleared his throat and said, "Losing is not terrible. What's terrible is that you don't know why you lost." It's really embarrassing to lose to a bunch of old guys. But what can you do if you lose even if you don’t lose? You can only look for the mistakes you made in the failure and correct them. At the same time, the live broadcast room of Su Xing and others was filled with 666 and other comments like "awesome". After all, before the game, no one thought that a group of old guys could actually beat active professional players. "It's bad. I have to change the mid laner after playing TES tonight." "The sisters in the TES super topic are all going crazy. Originally, the brother was the worst, but now after tonight's game, he has directly started to attack the mid laner Xiao Naiyou." "This is a bit unreasonable. Brother should take the blame for losing to G2. It has nothing to do with other people." "It's mainly because Xiaonaiyou played too badly tonight. Losing to G2 is fine, but how could he not even beat a retired old man? After two games, there are only four words to describe it: the gap between the mid laners." "The anchor only said he was retiring, but he secretly practiced for two and a half years and then came back to make a splash at the Old Man Cup." "I understand. The anchor is the big brother of LPL." "Honestly, no matter what the anchor did in the past few years, it would be a shame if he didn't go in this state." "You don't want to go out and become famous as a professional, but you're just sitting in Huya and bullying old guys, right?" "Little-known fact: the anchor has already become famous once. There are not many mid laners who can win the Best Newcomer of the Year award in the year of their debut." The audience in the live broadcast room were praising him, and even the teammates in YY were praising him in various ways. "Amazing, really amazing." theshy was at a loss for words and could only keep repeating the word "awesome". God knows how many times he said the word "awesome" tonight. "Stop urging me to do that. The anchor will make a comeback next year with Su Xing as his support." Uzi also made a rare joke with the comments, saying: "Tomorrow, everyone on the Internet should remember to put some pressure on me. If Su Xing comes back and doesn't play with me, you should remember to come back and pity the anchor." "what?" Su Xing was full of question marks. He thought, buddy was just playing for fun, why was he already planning to make a comeback? “This state is maintained very well.” Baolan praised, saying, "Look, Xiao Dongbei hasn't retired for long, but compared to you, he seems a little bit inferior. Have you really not touched any games in the past few years?" Those who can play professionally are all geniuses among geniuses, but even theshy, Uzi, Baolan and others find it hard to believe that Su Xing’s talent is even more terrifying than they imagined. He hasn't played games for such a long time but can still perform so well. Looking at the entire LPL, there may be no one else like him in the world. "Exaggerated." Su Xing just smiled, but at this moment he saw his mobile phone screen light up. It was Gao Wen calling him.
"Sorry, I have to take a call." Su Xing was a little confused. Why did Gao Wen call him while he was broadcasting live? (End of this chapter)
