Oh no, this boss bought all the champions!

Chapter 14 The Unpretentious Off-Field Experience

"Indeed, I can feel that kind of momentum even here. Imagine how intimidating it must be standing on the field..."

Wait a minute!

Zhu Kai suddenly turned to look at Lin Kong, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his eyes wide open.

"You mean the audience was brought in? You mean they were brought in!"

Well, that's not surprising.

The logic suddenly made sense. Zhu Kai said that when he was coaching in the LPL, he had never seen such a grand spectacle, especially in the regular season of the mere LSPL.

Normally the entire esports arena is quiet and not crowded, so where did all these KG "die-hard fans" come from today!

"It's normal for you to think about it, considering your own situation."

"The most traditional off-field life is just this simple and unpretentious."

"Today is a crucial battle for us; we should use every means at our disposal."

Several days ago, Lin Kong contacted various "actors" and the leader of their KG fan club.

The purpose of today's battle is to intimidate our opponents, boost the morale of the KG players, and let them know that they have the potential to become future stars!

Lin Kong, who was once a player, also went through a difficult time in LDL and knows very well how much energy fans can bring.

Just looking at the smiles on the faces of the KG members, it's clear that the 10,000 yuan was well spent.

"Wow, the KG fans at the scene are really excited!"

"The reason why this KG team has received so much attention is mainly because of the players' Korean server rankings."

"Top laner TheShy is currently ranked number one in the Korean server with 1380 points, while mid laner Knight is ranked number two with 1320 points."

"Jungler Tian is also ranked fifth in the Korean server with 1240 points. The entire KG team can be called a 5000-point team. Today is also their debut day."

Wang Duoduo did a lot of research and knew quite a bit about KG's situation.

On the screen, KG's current situation was explained in detail, and the viewers in the live stream were bombarded with a barrage of comments.

"No wonder the other teams seem so ordinary; KG has so many fans and so many top Korean players!"

"I know this guy named TheShy. He's been the number one cheater in the Korean server for over a month. Fat General has been trying to surpass him, but he hasn't succeeded."

"Is he really that strong? What do you mean by number one in the Korean server? These are just a bunch of academy trainees who've never played in a competition."

"That's true. I know TheShy. He was famous in Korea for his Riven, the one who developed Riven combos. WE poached him, but he was useless. What's the point of Riven on the competitive stage?"

"That's right, he's just a Riven pro. I've seen him climb the ranks in the Korean server using jungle Nidalee and the like. He used to play jungle for WE, and I remember he was loaned out for a long time. Now he's back to play top lane because he can't make it here anymore."

"Isn't KG just a merchandise-selling team? I've watched their players' streams. They just play some lousy ranked games every day and then they're there trying to pick fights with other professional players. They're just trying to sell merchandise. You can tell they're not serious about playing professionally. They're just here to make money."

The number of viewers watching LSPL is not large, only tens of thousands, who watch online at the same time. Most of them are e-sports fans who are always very interested in the movements of star players and super rookies.

TheShy held the top spot on the Korean server for over a month, and the esports community had already thoroughly investigated his background.

Everyone knows that TheShy is someone WE doesn't want. He can't even make the starting lineup or bench in the current WE team, so he must not be that great.

Even if you're number one in the Korean server, there's always a world of difference between a professional player and a casual player.

However, rank points are something that many meme enthusiasts love to brag about, which makes esports fans quite dislike the so-called number one in the Korean server. In addition, KG's merchandise sales are deeply ingrained in people's minds, so most of the insults in the chat just drift by.

A moment later, it was quickly replaced by a series of "???".

The broadcast showed KG coach Zhu Kai entering the field, wearing a white suit with numerous endorsement deals printed on it.

All of them are brands under LinKong Company and its partner Panda TV.

"KG eSports peripherals logo! KG eSports logo."

"KG club logo, and Fairy Delight milk tea, what the heck?!"

"Holy crap, they really are a sales team. Their suits are covered in logos. This coach is amazing. Could I even pull off those clothes?"

"And another thing, this guy's undershirt is from the KG club."

When Zhu Kai appeared, the director whom Lin Kong had bribed beforehand was dispatched. A perfect lighting and a solo camera shot instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone saw the GGlogo on Zhu Kai's suit and almost laughed in exasperation.

"Nice, success!"

"GG, that's how you play!" Lin Kong felt smug as he watched the director's perfect camera work, especially with the barrage of insults in the live stream chat.

This made Lin Kong secretly delighted; he was definitely going to take screenshots of these kagune.

They then promoted it extensively, which unwittingly attracted countless more casual viewers to KG's live stream for entertainment.

"No, is GG really going to fight like this?" Liu Qingsong couldn't help but ask as he watched Zhu Kai appear.

Zhu Kai shrugged. "Never mind that. It's President Lin's arrangement."

"What's Coach Lin doing? Why isn't he coming up?"

Xiao Tian asked curiously, "Zhu Kai is the head coach on the surface, that's true, but who doesn't know that Lin Kong is in charge of the draft picks?"

"What Mr. Lin means is that he doesn't plan to make any public appearances before joining the LPL."

"It's okay, don't worry. He gave me a tactical board before I came up. It has everything we need. That's what we use for drafting."

"Tactical board?"

The KG players were all dumbfounded. When did they start having a tactical plan for playing against NBY?

Lin Kong was just asking who NBY's mid laner is!

If you look closely, the tactical board in Zhu Kai's hand is clearly just a piece of paper, not a board.

The group didn't have much time to think; business planning was about to begin.

Unlike KG, NBY made ample preparations for their first match, with the NBY coach holding a thick stack of papers.

"According to our analyst team's analysis, despite KG's top laner's exceptional skill, their limited champion pool means they'll likely have to rely on tanks today."

"We'll fight him with the Renekton later. The Renekton is strong in the early game and can definitely withstand his laning strength."

"The mid-game Renekton can also perform very well, so we just need to focus on shutting down their mid and jungle late-game champions, such as Ryze, Kassadin, and Graves."

Regarding NBY, their analysis of KG was very insightful.

On the other hand, Zhu Kai only had a few large characters written by Lin Kong on a piece of paper.

"Ban Poppy, let Lulu through, and let TheShy pick Riven!"

As planned before the match, the strategy was to protect Shy and counter NBY.

There's one thing that people don't quite understand: why release Lulu?

Left Hand was the first to raise a question, "I know Doinb on the other side. He really likes playing damage-dealing carries. Even if we let him pick Lulu, he probably wouldn't."

Doinb is also quite famous in the Korean server, playing various core mid-lane champions exceptionally well, especially adept at finding opportunities in the mid-game side lanes.

In most cases, Doinb plays a self-centered style, trying his best to get fed.

It's truly unexpected that someone who plays like this would choose Lulu for mid lane.

He definitely wouldn't want to use his left hand instead.

"I don't know, Mr. Lin only gave me this much." Zhu Kai shrugged, unable to answer the question raised by his left hand.

Before Zhu Kai could explain anything further to Zuo Shou...

NBY, on the blue side, made the first grab and instantly locked in Lulu.
