Stand-in king

Mo Xu followed Mr. Liu out of the players' training area and came to the opposite door.

This end is the site of the online game department. Mo Xu came here for the first time, because it was originally a residential building. The layout is similar to that of the contestants, but the whole is symmetrical. The working area of ​​the computer, and the places where the bedrooms were originally were changed into offices one by one.

Mr. Liu's office is in one of the smaller rooms.

"Mr. Mo, please come in." Mr. Liu welcomed the person in and closed the door without letting others follow, "A cigarette?"

"Coincidentally..." Mo Xu laughed, "It seems that no one smokes at the contestant's side. I've been holding back since I woke up."

Liu Xiaoqiang handed him a cigarette: "Yes, there are few children in the team who smoke, and they are banned due to environmental and player health considerations. Besides, it's getting hot recently, and I don't dare to let them smoke with the air conditioner on. .”

The two old smokers puffed and smoked for a while, feeling that each other's ease has been drawn a lot closer in the time of this cigarette, and they don't look strange to each other.

Liu Xiaoqiang opened the window in the office to breathe, thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry for something, because they proposed to hire Mr. Mo as the coach of the team, so I went to investigate a little bit, I hope you understand."

"Yeah." Mo Xu nodded.

After all, he was the head coach. The team recruited individuals, inquired about their character, and checked the opponent's technical level. These were all necessary tasks for a team manager, and he could understand.

"I heard that Mr. Mo used to be the head coach of Tianwu? But to be honest, you are too low-key in the circle, we really can't find out anything..."

Liu Xiaoqiang glanced at him, his eyes were a little strange, "I happened to have a reception a few days ago, and I met Mr. Zhang from Tianwu, and we had a chat."

Mo Xu's heart sank.

He didn't think Zhang Fan would say anything good about him.Of course, as the team manager, Liu Xiaoqiang must be more professional than Zhang Fan in terms of team staffing. It is unknown whether he will listen to Zhang Fan's words.

Here is an explanation of the composition of the team.

A team, of course, is the most basic players, players have official and substitute;

Players need training, and those who teach them training include data analysts, coaches, etc.;

In addition, there are so many people on the team, there are many things to take care of on weekdays, big and small, such as the basic necessities of coaches and players, there are many detailed parts that need to be taken care of by people, and the stars of the players after they become popular Packaging, endorsement matters, team venues, equipment, etc., all big and small things need to be coordinated by a "nanny". This "nanny" is the manager. Some teams only have one or two managers, while some teams have For example, in the Red Prison team, Erhu is in charge of financial matters such as endorsements and equipment.

These are the guys who can already run a team on a day-to-day basis.At the same time, the operation needs money, so there are team bosses on top of these people. If the plate is big, there may be some investors. These investors generally don't manage things, and they are completely similar to shareholders.

Liu Xiaoqiang is the manager, and Zhang Fan is the boss who pays.

It stands to reason that the two of them are inseparable. In terms of net worth, Zhang Fan definitely doesn't like Liu Xiaoqiang, but in terms of professionalism in the e-sports industry, Liu Xiaoqiang is [-] blocks ahead of Zhang Fan.

I'm afraid that Zhang Fan's petty mind may say something unpleasant, and Liu Xiaoqiang doesn't know him well...

Mo Xu thought to himself, it was a wise move to PK with Yang Pengyi just now.

He has... I don't know if it's a problem or not. Although he was hesitant to join thegenies at the beginning, since he thought the team atmosphere was good and planned to come, he came with the determination to win. My son Liu Xiaoqiang would be very upset if he told him that he was not needed.

Do what you decide to do.

This is probably Mo Xu's belief all along, and it has never changed from before to now.

So he smiled: "What did Zhang Fan say?"

Liu Xiaoqiang looked at his words and felt that it seemed to confirm a certain guess of his own: "It seems that the relationship between you and Mr. Zhang is indeed not good. Is it because of this that you left Tianwu?"

He was not what Mo Xu thought. Although Zhang Fan did say some bad things, there was a premise that Zhang Fan's words were credible.

But Zhang Fan himself is quite a controversial figure. People in the circle who have a good relationship with Zhang Fan and those who look down on Zhang Fan can generally be divided into two factions. Coincidentally and unfortunately, Liu Xiaoqiang belongs to the latter.

Just in case, he had to check Mo Xu's attitude. If he really did not deal with Zhang Fan, it would show that this person is trustworthy.

To put it simply, an enemy's enemy is a friend. Although this matter does not rise to the level of an enemy, there is such a principle of "negatives make positives" in it.

"Almost." Mo Xu said with a smile, noncommittal, "From Mr. Liu's words, I guess Zhang Fan didn't say anything good?"

"If you listen to one side, you will be dark, but if you listen to both, you will be bright!" Liu Xiaoqiang laughed, "A Rui is now our core player, and I can still trust the people he recommends."

If you can trust him, you won't mention Zhang Fan.Mo Xu slandered, it seems that Mr. Liu is also a fox.

He didn't answer, and Liu Xiaoqiang continued the conversation: "To be honest, this time the version is updated and the archers are strengthened. It is indeed imperative to add another archer. After all, in the current situation, professional restraint still exists. There are players Also be prepared!

But... I wonder what Mr. Mo thinks of our two substitutes?You should have already had initial contact. "

"Well, I mentioned this to Ah Rui, didn't he mention it in the team?"

"No." President Liu shook his head.

"Those two... I heard they are called Xiaoheixiaobai, right? Their talents are indeed mediocre, but they work hard enough. If they have the right guidance, they can be trained to the level of a full-time player, but that's all. Like Arina This type of genius will definitely not catch up with flattery..." Mo Xu said calmly, "Of the two, Xiaobai is more promising because he is young."

"Hmm..." Mr. Liu was also thinking.

Xiao Hei is 23 years old, everyone knows the embarrassing situation, but in fact thegenies are not short of money, it doesn't matter to support him until he retires, and will not force him to pressure.

Mo Xu in front of him is also 23...

"Then what about Mr. Mo himself?" Liu Xiaoqiang asked suddenly.

"What myself?"

"I heard that Mr. Mo and Ah Rui are not at a disadvantage in PK. Just now, the fight with the fat chicken was a good match. Don't you consider joining as a player? Our team does not have an official shadow dancer. It's not as good as Mr. Mo's." Mr. Liu suggested.

Mo Xu shook his head: "I won't play shadow dance anymore, if you need a shadow dance coach, I can take it, but if you need a shadow dance player, I can only help you find and train you, but I won't Go up yourself."

"Oh?" Liu Xiaoqiang tapped his finger on the table, which means...

"Is Mr. Mo playing any other profession recently?"

Mo Xu laughed, Mr. Liu is a smart man, no wonder he can be the general manager of a top four team: "I just practiced bard."

"Singing is the newly opened third-rank archer profession, right?" Liu Xiaoqiang said, "There is no problem here, as long as Mr. Mo is willing to become a bard player while serving as a shadow dance coach, the rest The next thing to do is to have a meeting with the team to decide the lineup...Our team has no coach, and the tactics have always been decided by the players in a meeting, I hope Mr. Mo can understand."

"Of course, this atmosphere is very good." Mo Xu expressed his understanding, "Actually, if you need it, I can also be half of the tactical staff."

"Oh?" Mr. Liu was a little excited.

Such a versatile talent...

"Although Tianwu has a coaching staff, in addition to the Mxmx training, the tactical layout is also made by me."

Mo Xu shrugged indifferently, and emphasized again, "If you need it."

Need it, why not, it’s not a problem for teammates to discuss all the tactics. Besides, their team is relatively young in general, Xu Jinghui, the oldest official player, is only 21 years old, and he hasn’t played since the first closed test of Shennest The old players who came over joined, they lacked experience, and they were not comprehensive enough to see the problems.

As President Liu, it would be great if there was a dedicated coach to take charge of this matter, not to mention that this person was born as the head coach of Tianwu. Won the NGCC championship.

However, there are still two problems. First, this matter requires the approval of all the team members. After all, thegenies team atmosphere is very good. A good atmosphere can make teammates cooperate more tacitly. Forcibly doing something that everyone cannot accept is not worth the loss;

The second thing is, there is something that needs to be confirmed.

"By the way, how long has Mr. Mo been the head coach of Tianwu?" Liu Xiaoqiang asked.

Mo Xu was stunned.

"Tianwu..." He rubbed his eyebrows.

At the very beginning, the boss at the time had the intention to pull Tianwu into the team because he discovered the amazing player Mxmx, and Zhang Fan was the second boss who took over a year later.

It can be said that although Mxmx is not entirely responsible for the establishment of Tianwu, Tianwu may not exist without Mxmx.

"In the beginning, when the team was first established..." Mo Xu said with some difficulty, "I am the head coach of Tianwu."

……

While chatting, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk".

Mo Xu sat facing the door, and raised his head subconsciously, an inexplicable premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

The one who came here at this time, could it be... Sure enough.

The office door opened, and Xiao Hei walked in from the outside with a face of hardship and pain.

Mo Xu sighed.

Just now, I noticed that Xiao Hei completely lost his fighting spirit. Compared with the previous few days, it is a world of difference. There has not been any major changes in the professional circle recently, and I have not heard Sun Tianrui mention any changes in the team. Yes... for some reason, he planned to give up this path.

Knowing that there is darkness ahead, how many people will go all the way to the darkness with the determination not to hit the south wall and not look back?

After giving up e-sports, he is still a promising young man, why bother to endure the suffering of age here.

"Mr. Liu..." Xiao Hei looked at Mo Xu who was sitting on the sofa, and then at Liu Xiaoqiang who was leaning on the desk, with a pale face, "There is something I want to say..."

"what's up?"

"I……"

Probably also felt that what he wanted to say was a bit difficult to say, Xiao Hei hesitated for a long time, the hem of his T-shirt was almost scratched by him, and then said: "I... intend to... retire..."

Liu Xiaoqiang was taken aback.

"I'm old, and I don't have... any talent, and I know it myself." Xiao Hei said hesitantly, "No matter how hard you work, it's just like this. If you can't get any results, why don't you give up as soon as possible..."

Liu Xiaoqiang pointed to Mo Xu: "I didn't want to announce it so early. Since you mentioned it, let me introduce it to you. This is the shadow dance coach we are about to hire. You need to hear what he said about it. What's your opinion?"

Xiao Hei turned his head subconsciously, and Liu Xiaoqiang also stared at Mo Xu, giving him a knowing look.

Mo Xu understood, and said: "It's true that your talent is mediocre, but it's not that you can't practice it. Let me tell you this, in fact, the first shadow dance you mentioned...Meng Xun... His talent was not very outstanding at the beginning , you can’t practice because the direction is wrong. After all, they have good talents and know how to practice. You and that guy named Xiaobai don’t know what’s wrong with you. You can’t find the direction. Just get the right coaching, and it's fine to play a little bit."

He deliberately concealed a few words, but the meaning changed completely. What is "wrong direction", and the masters in the circle are also "mediocre talents". To a bewildered contestant, these words are like lights on the road at night. A bright light should be able to rekindle people's blood.

Liu Xiaoqiang also said: "You see, the future coaches have said so. I hope you can think about it again. The players have a good relationship, and everyone will be reluctant to part with you."

Xiao Hei bit his lower lip.

Why doesn't he want to rely on his own hands to make a name for himself in the professional circle? Does Mo Xu's words make him feel unmoved?Of course I am excited, but I still have to see the reality clearly.

Today's poor grades may be because I didn't find the right direction, but it's also true that I don't have talent.

No matter how hard you try, that's it.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach the top.

In the end, Xiao Hei still shook his head: "I have already decided, if the coach can really bring out a player... let Xiao Bai have this opportunity.

He is still young and should have a bright future.It's time for me to look for my future. Although I am an "old man" in the professional circle, I am still a young man outside... I have decided to immigrate with my family... I am here today mainly to talk to everyone Farewell..."

This……

Liu Xiaoqiang stared at him for a while, and finally sighed.

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll be the host today, and I'll give everyone a holiday in the afternoon. Let's go to the "Yuelai Restaurant" next to me to have a meal, and clean up Mr. Mo's dust. It should also be practiced by Xiao Hei. "

There are always partings in the team, and Mo Xu saw many of them when he was in Tianwu. Although he was a little regretful, he still understood.

Every season, every team has personnel changes to varying degrees. In contrast, Tianwu is still a team with very frequent personnel changes. Don't care much.

Of course the genies are not in this indifferent state, but when Mo Xu followed Liu Xiaoqiang to the Yuelai Restaurant to take a seat, the expressions on the faces of the team members still made him a little stunned.
