Reclaiming glory starts with LGD

Chapter 3 Killing the Monkey to Honor the Chicken

After signing the agreement, Jiang Xia officially became LGD's head coach and top leader in management for a period of six months, wielding ridiculously much power.

[Detection shows you've been identified as the head coach of the LGD team; player registration is now automatic...]

I explained things to my boss, Sister Pan.

After exchanging pleasantries, the manager was seen off.

Before leaving, the manager subtly told him that Wei Shen's matter was very troublesome.

Jiang Xia didn't think there was anything troublesome. He had already heard about it from Sister Pan, and with his memories from his previous life, he also knew that Wei Shen was currently in a state of giving up.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and it's true that you can't force someone to have them.

I took a deep breath and stepped into the training room.

"Lao Zixi doesn't even need to practice, he can easily crush Uzi in matches, glug glug..."

After downing a Red Bull, IMP's face flushed slightly as he stared indignantly at the video on the screen praising Uzi as the world's best AD carry.

Jiang Xia didn't even need to guess; the Red Bull can was definitely filled with beer...

Player: IMP (S+)

Current mindset: Joyful

Reaction speed: 93

Operational ability: 97

Positional awareness: 93

He's definitely a core player.

"Hehe...so cute."

Pyl stared at the two-dimensional paper figures on the screen with a relaxed and contented expression.

Player: Pyl (A)

Current state of mind: Worried

Reaction speed: 84

Operational ability: 81

Positional awareness: 82

So, all that laughter was just a facade? Jiang Xia wondered.

"We're just peasants, not landlords, brother. Why are you stealing my cards?"

Eimy gets very excited even when playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

Contestant: Eimy (B+)

Current state of mind: fear

Reaction speed: 79

Operational ability: 76

Positional awareness: 77

Looking at GodV, he's still playing Tianya Mingyue Dao...

"Ahem, let me introduce you. This is our new head coach, Jiang Xia," Heart said somewhat awkwardly.

He didn't know what to do when faced with a situation where no one was training.

He initially wanted to intervene, but he felt the team members weren't in a good mood, so he decided to let them adjust on their own...

"oh."

"Okay, sure."

"welcome."

Apart from Pyl raising his head in a friendly manner, no one else reacted.

Jiangxia didn't care either; he had been prepared for this before coming, knowing that LGD was terrible right now.

Otherwise, how could they possibly compete in the promotion/relegation matches with this team?

So he waved towards the window.

Zhuo Ding quickly jogged in, looking around the training room and the established players sitting inside.

IMP and Main, world champions...

Wei Shen! My idol!

"Who is this kid? He's giving me the creeps," Pyl muttered to Eimy.

Eimy: "I don't know, anyway, they didn't look at me."

"Come on, let's start with a trial and schedule a practice match right away."

Jiang Xia clapped his hands and immediately finalized the arrangements.

Although Heart didn't understand why they were in such a hurry, she immediately took action.

He's not afraid of doing things; on the contrary, he's afraid of not being told what to do...

He took the form from Zhuo Ding, and his pupils contracted rapidly after just one casual glance.

ID: Knight, Rank: 4th in Korean Server! Preferred Roles: Mage, Assassin...

This kid...it's Knight!

In less than 5 minutes, everyone in the training room logged into the client.

Heart was shocked once again; how could these old hands suddenly become so obedient?

Could it be that this new coach really has some kind of personal charisma?

"Why the sudden tryouts? Old Xie, did you get kicked out of a karaoke bar?"

Pyl first looked at Zhuo Ding, then teased Eimy.

"Holy crap, don't scare me." Honest Eimy looked worried; he knew exactly how well Eimy had performed in the Spring Split.

Although the title of "King of the Jungle" is well-known, it doesn't seem to be a compliment...

Immediately, Jiang Xia walked over to GodV.

"Oh right, you don't need to log in. He's here to try out for the mid lane."

For a moment, the entire training room fell silent, and almost everyone's eyes were on Zhuo Ding and Wei Shen.

Under the table, Wei Shen clenched his fists tightly; he felt humiliated.

"Oh, whatever, I didn't want to play anyway."

After closing the client, Wei Shen, in a fit of pique, opened Tianya Mingyue Dao again...

He had already told the management after the Spring Split that he didn't want to play in the Summer Split.

Now you're really sending people to disgust me... Fine, that's it then.

Don't ask me to save the day anymore.

"Holy crap, bro, how come Wei Zhen got kicked out of the karaoke bar? I thought he was just throwing a tantrum when he said he didn't want to fight." Pyl was dumbfounded.

"How the hell am I supposed to know what this new coach is up to..." Eimy didn't dare to breathe loudly anymore.

It's normal for a newly appointed leader to make an example of someone to warn others.

But the problem is that this is LGD, and their core player, Wei Shen, could never be that chicken.

This is the patriarch of our optimistic family!

What kind of logic is this, killing the monkey to honor the chicken?

The more bewildered these two were, the more indifferent Main and IMP were.

The former is a kind of indifference, while the latter is simply heartless.

Sitting in front of the computer, Zhuo Ding was very nervous. He didn't expect the pace to be so fast, and he had already reached LGD.

Moreover, it seems that he is replacing Wei Shen.

me?

A sense of unease quickly filled Zhuoding's mind.

Jiang Ge has already given me the opportunity; if I don't seize it, then...

Suddenly, Zhuo Ding felt a little scared.

Just then, a hand climbed onto my shoulder.

"Relax. Even though it's a trial, play however you feel comfortable."

Jiang Xia encouraged them, speaking naturally to the others.

"You guys focus on attacking from the middle and listen to what he says, understand?"

Eimy suddenly became very obedient and was the first to nod.

"Don't worry, Coach! I'll head mid after I finish clearing the jungle!"

Pyl was stunned for a moment, cursed inwardly for his quick actions, and immediately began to pledge his loyalty.

"Me too!"

Perhaps neither of them realized that even though Jiang Xia had only just joined the team, they didn't reject the other's arrangements.

Just as the team's translator was about to relay the words to Main, Jiang Xia stopped him.

He repeated "Main" in fairly fluent spoken English.

This was the first time Main had shown any emotion, and he took a few more glances at the new coach.

He nodded seriously.

In the corner, the translator started sweating.

Oh no! My job!

Upon entering the room, everyone realized who Zhuo Ding was when they saw his ID.

Eimy, sitting next to Zhuo Ding, grinned widely.

"Bro, you're Knight! I queued with you the other day and leeched a lot of your rank, haha."

"hey-hey."

Main couldn't help but glance at Knight a couple more times, after all, a person's reputation precedes them.

Besides, if you're asking whether to team up with the top five players in the Korean server or with Diamond players, anyone with a brain would choose the former.

Main suddenly recalled the scene of being relentlessly attacked by various teams during the Spring Split, with the Diamond mid laner only saying he couldn't come.

It was a painful memory, so he had no expectations for the summer season with the original roster and just wanted to finish the season quickly and get his money.

However, now that the coach has changed, it seems the mid-laner will also be replaced.

Moreover, my first impression of them was quite good.

Perhaps... there's still a glimmer of hope?

"...Holy crap, you're left-handed?" Eimy exclaimed as if he had discovered something amazing.

"That's really something, impressive, you can even hold a mouse with your left hand."

"No wonder your mouse looks a bit strange, haha."

"..."

After this commotion, Knight calmed down a lot and realized that his teammates seemed quite easy to get along with.

Wei Shen (a popular streamer) felt a bit uneasy listening to this through his headphones, and he even had trouble continuing to play the dungeon.

Long ago, their relationship was just as relaxed.

When did things start to change?
