Garen Builds Infinity Edge, Silence with Critical Strikes (220 Requests for First Subscriptions)
Did esports discriminate against women?
No!
In fact, out of all fields, esports respected women the most.
Put simply, once you stepped onto the stage, nobody cared about your gender. As long as you played well and put up strong results, you would definitely gain countless fans.
But surprises were still surprises when they happened.
After all, they were incredibly rare.
At this moment, Su Nuan was absolutely terrified. She did not even care where Chen Yi's hand was. After all, this was her first time experiencing a situation like this, so her reaction was perfectly normal.
That was what she was thinking!
Chen Yi, however, was feeling extremely pleased with himself. During this period, their Strategy Progress had already risen to thirty-three percent. In truth, the progress itself was not important.
What mattered was their current state.
Whenever something happened, Su Nuan would instinctively hide behind Chen Yi.
What did that represent?
It represented dependence. Every relationship began with dependence.
Wanting to chat with you, wanting to eat with you.
Wanting to sleep with you.
All of that was dependence.
Once they had those things, many matters afterward would be easy to handle. He immediately spoke softly. "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! You have me!"
His voice was not loud, but everyone could still hear it.
[ Ding! ] [Zz1tai's Dog Food Value +1!] [Sofm's Dog Food Value +1!] [Saint Gun Brother's Dog Food Value +1!]
Good grief!
They had not even formally introduced themselves, yet everyone had already been force-fed a mouthful of dog food.
Fortunately!
None of them were single. They all had girlfriends. If someone without a girlfriend saw this scene, it would truly be Garen building Infinity Edge—silence and critical strikes.
After that, they went through some introductions.
Everything officially began.
Manager Wu made the introductions, while JUN began arranging the scrimmage.
Before it started, he was nervous.
The Spring Split was about to begin. Chen Yi and Su Nuan would certainly take the stage as snake's bot lane, but nobody could guarantee how effective they would be.
At the very least, JUN hoped the two of them could slaughter their opponents onstage.
However, hope did not mean they could actually do it.
Professional matches and Public Matches were completely different concepts. Yet as this scrimmage began, everything that happened surpassed everyone's expectations.
The bot lane began crushing its opponents. Chen Yi had chosen Caitlyn for this match.
His opponent was Ashe.
Perhaps their attack ranges differed by only a few dozen units, but those few dozen units were enough for him to kite his opponent into misery. Thirty seconds after reaching lane, Ashe still had not managed to land a single basic attack on Caitlyn.
Yet Ashe was already at half health!
It was an overwhelming laning phase, leaving her no room to resist.
In JUN's mind, the Chen Yi before him was not a newcomer at all, but an incredibly powerful player with several years of professional experience.
Where did the difference between a professional player and a solo queue player lie?
In this kind of detailed kiting.
And Chen Yi had it!
If Chen Yi had been the only one like this, JUN would not have been so excited. But it was not only him. Su Nuan was the same, especially during a conversation around the ten-minute mark.
It completely overturned JUN's understanding of the game.
[Chen Yi: Where are the wards?] [Su Nuan: There's one in the tri-brush, and one at the entrance beside the Blue Buff. They have forty-five seconds remaining. There's one above the mid-lane river, just placed, so it should have about one hundred and seventy seconds left. There's one near the Raptors, and also...]
The moment she said this, everyone present was dumbfounded.
If you said you knew how many wards there were in the bot lane, that would be understandable.
But she had not only listed every ward on the entire map, she had even given their exact durations. Wasn't that basically cheating?
At first, the others still did not believe her.
But once the replay began...
From the observer's perspective, everything was clear as day.
It was exactly as Su Nuan had said.
At that moment, the top, mid, and jungle trio changed the way they looked at Su Nuan.
In esports, strength spoke for itself.
If you had the skill, you would be respected on any team. And it was not only her.
Chen Yi was the same.
Once the match ended, the two of them had coordinated perfectly, moving as smoothly as one body. Even when they were apart and the support went to roam, the bot lane could still handle everything with ease.
They could even win a two-versus-two by killing both opponents. It was completely routine.
Perhaps GT's strength was not at the top of the LPL, but any team capable of competing in the LPL was far stronger than ordinary solo queue players. Yet even against a team like that,
they were completely helpless before the two of them.
At this moment... JUN's eyes lit up.
Just as expected!
Good luck could not be stopped.
Such strong players had actually come knocking on their door. After the replay ended, Su Nuan and Chen Yi were called out, because there was something even more important to do next.
Sign the contract!
He took them to the office.
Along the way, Su Nuan kept holding onto Chen Yi.
In fact, it was not only during the journey. Aside from game time, the two remained in this state most of the time. In a completely unfamiliar place, within a field she had never understood before,
only that hand could make her feel warmth.
Thus, after they arrived at the office, Jun could not help complaining, "You two should pay a little attention. Holding hands the whole time is a bit much!"
"Ah!"
Only then did Su Nuan seem to realize her current state.
She immediately pulled her hand back in fright.
Her little face gradually turned red. She looked embarrassed and at a loss. JUN glanced at Su Nuan, then at Chen Yi.
Thinking about what Chen Yi had said earlier,
he could only say that things had developed rather quickly. It seemed they were still at the beginning, but how could Jun, an experienced man, not know what was happening with this young girl?
She was already nearly completely won over.
But then again!
This was not necessarily a bad thing. At least from his perspective, the two of them made quite a good match.
The gossip could wait until later. Jun cleared his throat and said, "All right! Let's get to business. Congratulations on passing round after round of tests and officially becoming professional players for snake."
"Here are the contracts. Take a look. There's no rush to sign them. You can take them away and consult a lawyer. I believe neither of you will refuse the terms our company has offered."
What was confidence?
This was confidence!
snake might not have been the strongest club in the LPL, but it was definitely the club with the best treatment.
They were confident about this deal.
Su Nuan could not understand the contract.
Chen Yi was different, however.
He immediately said, "We can look at it here. I've done some research in this area."
Jun: "???"
Su Nuan: "???"
Was that for real!?
Of course it was. In his previous life, he had studied this area in order to sue RNG. Contracts were not actually that complicated.
As long as it was a direct employment contract rather than an outsourcing contract,
everything would be quite reasonable!
Of course!
That excluded the non-compete clause. After all, that was one of RNG's favorite tricks, practically its patented move by now. But that was RNG. snake was offering a direct employment contract.
The terms and conditions were within the normal range. The most important thing was the compensation!
The numbers!
One million!
And it was not one million for the two of them combined. It was one million per person.
The contract lasted one year!
Eight hundred thousand as a signing bonus plus two hundred thousand from the livestreaming contract. There was absolutely no reason to refuse. Su Nuan could not understand any of this, so she asked softly,
"Is there a problem?"
"No problem. We can sign it directly..."
"All right!"
Su Nuan nodded. In any case, their contracts were identical. Even if they got cheated, they would be cheated together. Besides, in her eyes, Chen Yi would not cheat her.
He definitely would not!
Soon, Su Nuan began to feel puzzled. When had she started trusting Chen Yi this much?
She did not quite understand.
But she quickly found a reason. She was his Support Daddy, after all. Was there anything wrong with a father trusting his son?
Once the contract was settled,
Manager Wu took the two of them to have their photos taken.
For what?
For the official announcement, of course!
Thus, about two hours later, a post appeared on snake's official Weibo. The normally quiet comment section exploded the instant the news was released.
