Chapter 209 Half a Professional Player
After dinner, Ye Lan prepared to wash the dishes.
Ye Wanying pointed to the sink and said, "Brother, I bought a water heater when I went grocery shopping today. It's getting cold, so it's better not to wash dishes with cold water."
"My sister is so considerate. Why don't you just wash the dishes for me?"
Ye Wanying rolled her eyes and turned to walk towards her bedroom.
She plans to take the midterm exam again, thinking it will feel different this time.
Ye Lan was just joking. After putting on dishwashing gloves and wiping all the grease off the bowl, she returned to her bedroom.
Just then, Xu Zhiqiang sent over the edited video.
Ye Lan now has complete faith in Xu Zhiqiang's editing skills and posts his videos directly on various short video platforms without even checking them.
As for the title, it also emphasizes simplicity and clarity.
Leading four useless teammates against the Chongqing Wolves!
Thanks to Lin Xueyao's efforts, Ye Lan now has 200 million followers.
So as soon as the video was released, a group of people rushed to be the first to like and comment.
"Haha, this time it's my turn to be number one!"
The moment the first review was marked in red, there was another image below it, 12 seconds earlier.
"Wow, does this guy live under a cell tower? His internet speed is so fast!"
Ye Lan couldn't help but sigh.
Once the first comment was snatched up, others could comment normally.
"Brother Ye hasn't streamed for two days, and he's actually holding back such a big move, even getting into a fight with the Wolves?"
"I don't even need to look to know, they've definitely lost."
"Losing is normal, isn't it? The title says it all: 'Bringing four useless teammates'."
"Exactly, if you bring four useless teammates and still want to beat the Wolves, then the Wolves become useless too, right?"
..........
These commenters were all prejudiced; they made their own guesses as soon as they saw Ye Lan's title.
Ye Lan thought about giving it a like and pinning it to the top so that more passersby could participate in questioning.
"Has this comment been deleted?"
Looking at the message box that popped up on her phone, Ye Lan looked puzzled.
I then refreshed the video and found it was still the same group of people.
The comments section, however, has completely changed.
"Holy crap, is this for real? Brother Ye can carry four random players and still beat a pro player?"
"This marksman is really bad at the game, not even as good as me."
"This support is damn strong. In the last team fight, he absorbed four professional players. He's every Guiguzi player's dream."
.........
Looking at the familiar profile picture and ID, Ye Lan couldn't help but shake her head and smile helplessly.
"Their speed in deleting and modifying comments is really fast; they must be experienced people."
Professional players are always a hot topic, but Ye Lan is directly facing off against a professional team.
This is something that has never happened before.
In addition, Ye Lan's four teammates are all random people, so this video is bound to go viral.
After leaving a comment saying "Remember to vote for the New Year's greeting show," Ye Lan left the short video platform.
Just then, in the group chat of the five people Xu Zhiqiang had pulled together, Huang Wenyan sent a message and tagged Ye Lan.
"Brother Ye, a professional esports team just called me and asked if I have any plans to become a professional player."
Before Ye Lan could answer, Wang Wenjie couldn't sit still any longer.
"Dude, what kind of trash team would even want you?!"
Xu Luo: "Exactly, you can fool your brothers, but don't fool yourself too."
Both of them thought Huang Wenyan was bragging.
After all, he only has a peak rating of 1800 points, which is not even enough to qualify him for a youth training program. How could any team possibly contact him?
But then, a video sent by Huang Wenyan shocked them all.
Inside was actually the coach of the Wuxi JXG team!
This team's performance in the professional arena has been lukewarm, so it is not as well-known as teams like Chengdu AG, Chongqing Wolves, and Wuhan eStar.
But no matter what, they are still a professional team!
This is a place that many internet-addicted teenagers dream of, and Wang Wenjie fantasizes every night about taking it a step further.
This allows you to submit a youth training application to a professional esports team.
But now, Huang Wenyan has actually received an invitation.
Being passively invited and actively applying are two completely different things; at least in terms of treatment, they will be worlds apart.
However, Huang Wenyan was unsure of what to do, so he consulted Ye Lan.
"It must be because your last four performances were so amazing that they felt you had a strong grasp of timing and wanted to train you."
Ye Lan is someone who frequently interacts with professional players and teams.
That one sentence hit the nail on the head.
The coach of Wuxi JXG came here precisely for this reason.
In a regular game, pulling off a win against four opponents is already considered amazing, let alone in a professional match.
If this happens in a professional match, it will turn the tide of the entire game.
Huang Wenyan frowned and typed back, "But you told me to go in the last wave, that's why I went."
"Besides, their attention was all on you at the time. If even one of them had glanced to the side, I wouldn't have been able to pull four of them."
Huang Wenyan also wants to become a professional player, but he is also well aware of his own abilities.
He has mastered the national standard and can be considered a pro among his peers.
But when facing professional players, he can only take a beating.
If it weren't for Ye Lan taking command, he would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.
Ye Lan replied, "None of that matters. They think it's enough that you have it."
Huang Wenyan pursed his lips. "Then, Brother Ye, should I agree or refuse?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"want!"
"With your talent, even if you were trained by a professional team, you would at most be a little better than Wang Wenjie, barely qualifying for youth training. You would still be quite far from becoming a professional player."
Ye Lan spoke very frankly.
Talent is a irrational thing.
Many things don't yield results simply through effort.
Effort is just to show you how far you are from it, so that you can finally give up completely.
Although Huang Wenyan had long known this would be the outcome, his eyes still dimmed slightly when Ye Lan sent the message.
"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Ye. I know what to do now. I'll go and reject him right now."
Why reject him? Why reject something so good?
Ye Lan's question left everyone somewhat at a loss for words.
Huang Wenyan replied with even more confusion: "Didn't you say that I have limited talent and can't become a professional player?"
"It's okay if you can't become a professional player. Participating in the club's youth training program can systematically improve your gaming skills."
"Secondly, there's a salary, and an internship certificate can be provided."
"If word gets out, he's practically a professional player; that's enough for him to show off."
Ye Lan explained all the advantages and disadvantages to Huang Wenyan in one go.
As for his final choice, that's not something Ye Lan can interfere with.
Huang Wenyan finally accepted the invitation from the coach of Wuxi JXG and then applied for a long leave of absence from the school to go to Wuxi JXG's youth training club for three months.
At this point, Huang Wenyan had already entered the professional world.
He became a semi-professional player.
