Chapter 36: Coach Chen Song
Despite Chen Song's statement, Karam did not feel that there was anything wrong with his ideas.
Even in a lost game, he believed it was simply because the players didn't play well, and had nothing to do with his draft picks.
Especially the strategy of protecting TheShy is absolutely foolproof.
The reason TheShy lost to LNG was simply that he played a bit too confidently, nothing more.
"That's enough!"
Karam couldn't help but raise his voice, veins bulging on his neck: "Manager Su sent you here to do tactical analysis, not to question the head coach. Apologize to me right now, or I'll go directly to management..."
"What are you proposing? Fire me?"
Chen Song smiled.
He took his phone out of his pocket, tapped the translation button, and handed the phone to Karam.
Karam looked down, his pupils suddenly contracting.
That was an internal personnel change confirmation letter from IG Esports Club, the contents of which were:
[Tactical analyst Chen Song has been registered as an assistant coach, effective immediately, with the responsibility of assisting the head coach in drafting and on-field tactical decisions.]
Su Xiaoluo's name was already signed in the confirmation signature column.
"Teaching assistant...?" Karam's voice trembled slightly.
"Yes, a teaching assistant."
Chen Song put his phone away and said calmly, "So now, I'm speaking here as a teaching assistant."
Just then, the training room door was pushed open, and Su Xiaoluo appeared in the doorway.
"What's all the noise about?"
Su Xiaoluo's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an invisible pressure, instantly breaking the deadlock.
All eyes turned to the doorway.
He let himself go first, and Su Xiaoluo followed.
That's a brilliant move!
Indeed, a leader is not someone who can be competent just by being brought in.
Karam, as if grasping at a straw, looked sharply at Su Xiaoluo, her voice filled with grievance: "Manager Su... he... Chen Song actually questioned me in public, and... and insulted me!"
"Insults?" Chen Song scoffed. "I'm just stating the facts."
At the same time, Chen Song translated Karam's words to Su Xiaoluo.
Su Xiaoluo ignored Karam's explanation and focused his gaze on Chen Song: "Chen Song, come with me."
After saying that, he looked at Karam, whose face was ashen, and said, "Coach Karam, you come too."
Mafa stood aside, watching the scene before him, sighed, and waved to the players: "Stop watching, keep training."
The atmosphere in the training room only eased after the three figures disappeared through the door.
Ning breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Rookie: "Old Song, that was awesome!"
Rookie rubbed his temples and gave a wry smile: "If we keep arguing with Karam like this, things are probably going to change."
JackeyLove's eyes lit up: "Someone should have done this a long time ago!"
TheShy sat silently in front of the computer, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the keyboard, seemingly lost in thought.
......
Fifteen minutes later.
The training room door was pushed open, and Chen Song walked in.
Seeing that all the players were looking at him, Chen Song smiled and said, "From now until the next match against EDG, I will temporarily replace Karam."
"I don't know how you get along with Coach Karam, but now that I'm temporarily taking over, I hope we can work well together in the days to come, and that you must complete the training tasks I assign you properly."
"Of course, you can let me know any ideas you have as soon as possible, and we'll work together to solve them."
Then Chen Song went to TheShy's side and repeated what he had just said to him in Korean.
That wasn't all. He slowly walked to Lucas's side, bent down, and said with a smile, "Lucas, you are very talented, but you'll have to make do for the next few days."
"I feel that your performance on the field did not meet my expectations, so you need to go to the substitutes' room and train hard first."
After Chen Song got straight to the point and stated his thoughts, JackeyLove sat next to him and stared at Chen Song with wide eyes.
Chen Song then straightened up and continued, "When you go to the substitutes' room later, please tell Bao Lan for me to come back quickly, because I need to assign training tasks."
Five minutes later.
After Baolan finished packing up his gaming equipment, Chen Song said, "Now that everyone's here, let's start the first task."
"I know that you usually focus on solo queue for ranked training. From now on, we will focus on duo queue ranked training."
"Ning and Rookie are in one group, JackeyLove, you and Baolan are in another group."
"No rest is allowed except when going to the toilet."
Chen Song withdrew his chuckle, picked up a transparent plastic basin that he had somehow found, and said, "Now silence all your phones, and then put them in this plastic basin."
"You want to take my phone?"
Ning's face began to show displeasure.
On what grounds?
Even the club doesn't make this request, so why should Chen Song take our phones?
But seeing that Rookie and the others had voluntarily put their phones in the plastic basin, Ning didn't complain and took out his phone to put it in as well.
Let me know after we've played three duo matches together.
After Chen Song finished speaking, he came to TheShy's seat and said in Korean, "TheShy, you should practice solo queue by yourself first."
"that..."
Seeing Chen Song staring at him from behind, TheShy couldn't help but ask, "Coach...do I need to practice any specific heroes?"
"No, no, just choose normally, play whatever you want."
After finishing speaking, Chen Song showed no intention of leaving, staring intently at TheShy's screen.
TheShy then opened the game and started solo queue.
While TheShy was selecting champions, he picked up a notebook and pen from the table, glanced at the champion choices of the other players, and then returned to TheShy's side.
"The opponent is Aatrox, what are you planning to do?"
TheShy, from the red team, happens to be on the 5th floor, holding the counter position.
"Fiora, Fiora has an easy time against Aatrox."
TheShy replied.
"I watched the Fiora game against LNG very carefully, and your handling of the laning details was absolutely perfect."
"It's a pity we still lost." TheShy's tone was filled with self-blame.
"What's past is past."
Chen Song comforted him, "Let me see how you play this game. I also really like Fiora."
While the game was loading, Chen Song curiously inquired, "I heard you used to be famous for playing Riven on the Korean server. Why don't you use that champion anymore?"
"The current version is a bit too weak."
"Excuse."
Chen Song smiled and said, "But we can still see Riven in the matches. I think it's just that your love for Riven has faded."
"No...no, I don't think so..."
TheShy had an embarrassed and shy expression on his face: "In the latest version, Aatrox is too strong. Riven is really not good enough to fight against Aatrox."
"That's someone else's Riven!"
"I don't believe you'll be afraid of Aatrox in lane after you get Riven."
"I'm referring to anyone's Sword Demon."
TheShy stared blankly at the computer screen, without saying a word.
