Chapter 23 - Top laner, career path

After saying goodbye to everyone at IG, Yuan Shen took a taxi directly back to the MGB base.

He still has to pack his things.

"You've had the tryout? I knew you could do it!"

PDD is very happy.

It was he who strongly recommended Yuan Shen to go to IG. He not only told Su Xiaoluo about it, but also mentioned it to the principal.

When Yuan Shen achieves good results, he will also be proud of it.

"How are you getting along with Ge Yan and the others? These people may seem difficult to get along with, but you will know after a while."

PDD is still more concerned about the relationship between Yuan Shen and other IG members.

If there are conflicts before joining the team, it will be very tiring to get along with them in the future.

"Very good, Kid even said he would mix noodles for me."

Yuan Shen smiled.

If I remember correctly, Kid's mixed noodles and GimGoon's fried rice can be called the two major delicacies of LPL. In his memory, the more famous one is the mixed noodles that Kid made for Baolan, but in the end it was all eaten by Rookie.

This even led to various memes such as "Some noodles are raw and will never be cooked no matter how you mix them", "The noodles are just barely mixed", and "The Blue Princess".

"That's true. Ge Yan is good at making noodles."

PDD nodded and greeted again.

"Come on, come on, let's go out for hotpot today. It's my treat. Come back more often after you have a rest. I recently contacted a top laner, and you can help train him when the time comes."

PDD laughed and called Xiao Ming and Ning Wang to set off together.

"No problem. Thank you for your help during this time."

Yuan Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely.

"Hey, let's talk about that..."

PDD waved his hand and didn't think it was a big deal. However, he felt a little sad when he thought that the cat would also leave with Yuan Shen.

Although his clothes were covered with hair during this period, and he felt very angry when he thought about it occasionally, he was reluctant to do so after a long time.

……

"You've been a veteran player for half a year, so there's nothing I can teach you. If I were to play Solo against you now, I might not be able to win."

As PDD spoke, he stared at the mutton in the pot. The moment it turned light brown, he stabbed out his chopsticks, but it happened to poke King Ning's hand. He couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I'm too old to compare with you young people."

"It should be said that we can't win, right? Yuan Shen is almost the first in the country."

Prince Ning curled his lips and complained while wiping his hands.

"Hey you kid..."

PDD became anxious and pretended to fight. Ning Wang quickly pulled a stool and sat on the other side, causing everyone to laugh.

"Ahem, although your level is higher than mine, there are still some things I can teach you. Whether it's top lane or jungle, the principles are universal. E-sports, in the final analysis, is still competition. If you want to understand these two words, you can't just simply practice heroes and learn tactics. The most important thing is to maintain a strong desire to win and a fighting spirit."

PDD was chewing enoki mushrooms and speaking incoherently.

"Some opportunities are gone if you don't fight for them. They are fleeting, and you can only regret it when you review it later. Saying that if I had done this or that, it would have been better is all fake. A big heart is innate, and it is rare to be a big-game player, but you have to try your best to lean towards this aspect. This is the mentality that a strong person should have."

Yuan Shen was in silent contemplation, his mind constantly recalling many scenes, some of which were classic scenes, and Prince Ning across the table was the person involved.

If you think we will lose if we drag this out, I will go up and kick you. I don’t know who I will kick, but it won’t be Sion.

Flash forward, courage is the seventh piece of divine equipment. It is both the chosen one and the only one.

Yuan Shen knows very well how to be a good professional player.

He can even make a choice with his eyes closed and still walk an extremely correct path.

Abortion, cheating, seducing married women, girlfriend's transfer period, sex in the world game, ungratefulness, dating Zhou Shuyi...

He knows the black spots of countless players, and he also understands that there are some red lines that cannot be crossed.

But professional players are not stars after all, and there are some things he should not consider right now.

PDD said a lot, and Yuan Shen listened to some of it.

On the system panel, under the characteristic of "The Light of Top Lane", the second characteristic is also slowly taking shape.

"Top laner: When the host uses a DPS top laner, all attributes +1, when the team's economy is at a disadvantage, all attributes +2."

After nearly a month of living together day and night, Yuan Shen has indeed learned a lot from PDD.

And PDD’s gifts are far more than just the characteristics of a top lane overlord.

Looking at the changes on the system panel, Yuan Shen fell silent.

Desert Butcher Renekton's proficiency is SS, and the upper limit is SR.

The proficiency of the mechanical public enemy Rambo is S, and the proficiency of Demacia Prince Jarvan IV is S.

PDD's three most signature heroes were all inherited by him.

Although the crocodile's proficiency has not increased, the proficiency ceiling has been opened to the highest level.

This means that he can improve his proficiency with Crocodile through ranking and practice.

When he raised his crocodile proficiency to SR, he was truly the world's number one crocodile.

The expansion of the hero pool is of course extremely important for professional players. Rambo himself is an evergreen in the top lane, and Prince can also play as a top laner in some versions.

Crocodiles can appear in most versions.

In addition to the hero pool, players can have their own unique heroes and can even ignore the version and play against the version to achieve results, which is itself an ability.

Yuan Shen also longed for such a scene, that is, when he showed a certain hero, he could make the audience cheer, make the opponent's scalp tingle, and make his teammates feel at ease...

"Don't relax even if you join IG. There are too many temptations at your age. Calm down and polish yourself, study hard, and you will understand in a few years. Another important point is that you must not look for a partner."

PDD burped and spoke earnestly.

"You are still young, there is no need to rush."

"understand……"

Yuan Shen nodded silently. If he remembered correctly, someone seemed to have said this before.

……

"It's impossible to pass the tryout. LPL won't allow a selfish person to exist. Such a person is not worthy of playing professionally. Do you know that?"

After hearing from the OMG manager that Yuan Shen had been rejected in his tryouts, Uzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this has nothing to do with him, he said a lot of harsh words when he was interviewed by Tuwan.com. Although he was really angry at the time, he didn't think about clarifying anything afterwards.

He still has many fans, and Yuan Shen is just a newcomer, and the top laner with the most competitive pressure in LPL. It is impossible for him to apologize, either privately or publicly.

He was not satisfied with the result of finishing second in both LPLS tournaments, but this was already the best result of LPL in the world tournament. He was also one of the most valuable ADCs, not inferior to Korean players.
