Manager Wu

Biodata

Background / History

Wu Qian was handling Snake's search for a new bottom-lane roster when Chen Yi contacted her through her online profile. Snake particularly needed an established ADC–support pairing: strong ADCs were difficult to acquire, strong supports were rarer, and newly assembled duos could require months to develop synergy. 15 16

Chen Yi presented two eighteen-year-old King-ranked players. Wu was initially unconvinced by their ranks and intended to consult her superiors the following day, even after viewing their public-match highlight reel. Head coach JUN intervened after learning that the duo had dominated UZI; their existing coordination convinced him that an immediate tryout was necessary. Wu abandoned her evening plans and contacted Chen Yi at once. 16

At the in-person meeting, Wu was caught completely off guard to discover that Su Nuan—the prospective support—was female. Her initial concerns centered on practical team-management issues, but Chen Yi argued that a skilled female professional player would also bring substantial public attention. Wu accepted the argument, arranged a tour of Snake's League of Legends division, and helped bring the duo into the club following their successful tryout. 19 20

After Su Nuan joined Snake, Wu became one of her closest staff supporters. The two shared a dormitory and were sufficiently close that Wu celebrated Su Nuan's competitive successes as though they were her own. 28 42 She later accompanied Su Nuan during the LPL Finals trip to Guangzhou, sharing a hotel room with her. 140

Personality

Wu is pragmatic and opportunity-driven in her work. Her first evaluation of Chen Yi and Su Nuan focused on age, rank, available roster needs, and the difficulty of building a functioning bottom lane; once their potential became clear, she acted immediately. 16

She is protective of Su Nuan, especially regarding Su Nuan's relationship with Chen Yi. When she misunderstood bloodstains in Chen Yi's room, she confronted him for allegedly bullying Su Nuan, though she later recognized the real situation and admitted that part of her reaction was teasing. 80 81

Wu also has a notably gossipy and teasing side. She regularly probes Su Nuan about her feelings for Chen Yi, offers unsolicited relationship advice, and jokes about the pair's intimacy, often leaving Su Nuan embarrassed. 79 104 136 140
