E-Sports Boss Wants To Post Messages With New Players Every Day Chapter 62

The moment the words fell, the training room immediately fell into silence.

Shen Xiao’s mouth hung open, and it took him a while to recover: “…What?”

Xu Ziyan, treating him like a mentally challenged child, very considerately repeated what he had just said, even slowing down his speech deliberately, lest he fail to hear clearly again.

Shen Xiao was stunned. He looked at Xu Ziyan, then looked at Xie Wei behind him.

The Alpha first frowned, then smiled brightly: “That’s fine.”

Since the original commander himself had spoken, the others naturally had no further objections.

The next day, during the scrimmage, Xu Ziyan indeed took over the responsibility of commanding.

Since he lacked experience, he was still somewhat deficient in handling many details. However, his logic was clear, his mind was sharp, and his speech was well-organized. After a few matches, his performance was commendable.

Initially, the TWG members were a little unaccustomed to the new commanding style, but after getting more familiar with it, they all gave positive feedback.

After the debriefing meeting ended, Xie Wei walked straight into the Coach’s office.

Yu Guangzhou was at his desk discussing the next Youth Training Camp with Jiang Yuxin. Seeing him enter, he asked curiously, “Is something the matter?”

“It’s about Ice,” Xie Wei didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “He wants to try the commander position. Was that your instruction?”

His tone was a bit aggressive, but Yu Guangzhou didn’t mind. Instead, he calmly picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, and showed an ambiguous smile: “Take a guess?”

Xie Wei: “…”

Yu Guangzhou laughed: “Xie Wei, Ice is your lover, but he is not a fledgling that needs your protection. He is far stronger than you imagine.”

The previous night.

Yu Guangzhou was just about to return to the dorm to rest when Xu Ziyan, who had left not long ago, rushed back and requested to try the commander position.

In fact, Yu Guangzhou had a similar idea early on. Looking at the young man in front of him, he didn’t rush to agree: “Can you tell me the reason?”

Xu Ziyan said: “I want to further improve myself.”

To be honest, this reason was unexpected for Yu Guangzhou. He raised an eyebrow: “That’s it?”

Xu Ziyan smiled, a little embarrassed, and stated his private motive: “…I also want to ease some of the pressure on the Captain.”

Yu Guangzhou also smiled, no longer deliberately keeping a straight face: “Then give it a try.”

Returning to the present, Yu Guangzhou looked at the frowning Alpha in front of him and sighed: “Xie Wei, I told you before, this is a four-person game. You don’t need to shoulder all the burden yourself.”

When he first started coaching at TWG, the TWG A-Team was new, lacked experience, and their coordination was insufficient. Xie Wei, as the Captain, took on the heavy responsibility, securing victories for the team with his formidable individual skill, shot after shot.

His reputation began to rise from that time, and it was also from that time that Xie Wei became accustomed to taking on everything by himself.

He is a person, not a god. How could he possibly manage everything?

Yu Guangzhou felt extremely helpless internally.

Xie Wei pursed his lips, didn’t answer, just nodded. Then he turned and left the Coach’s office.

—

The semi-finals, TWG versus KW, were scheduled to be held at the A City National Sports Center. The match time was 7 PM.

On the way to the Sports Center, Yu Guangzhou used his phone to confirm KW’s Main Roster Player list for this match. It was exactly the same as the lineup against WOF last time, with no changes.

“Ice will be the commander for the first round. No objections, right?” Yu Guangzhou scanned the car. “Seamy will start, and Yuan will play in the second round depending on the situation.”

Facing this arrangement, the TWG members had no complaints and all agreed.

At 7 PM, the lights of the National Sports Center dimmed on time. On the stage at the front, the spotlight shone down, and the host walked onto the stage with a smiling face.

The two on-site commentators for today’s match were A and B. The online live commentator was Secret, the Captain of WOF, Li Huanbin, whose playoff journey had already ended.

Although there was a lot of internal drama within WOF, he smiled slightly in front of the live stream camera, looking impeccable. His fox-like eyes curved into a beautiful arc: “Hello everyone, today I will be bringing you the live commentary for TWG versus KW… What? Will Seamy hit me if he knows I’m commentating his match?”

Li Huanbin smiled: “Seamy and I have a great relationship. If you don’t believe me, go ask him.”

[Whether you believe it or not, I certainly don’t.]

[Hmm, Seamy has a direct reply. If you want to see what he said, you can click [Video Link]]

[? Why did I click in and find the classic scene of the little bear marshmallow deceiving the innocent young man into boosting him?]

[I didn’t even click in, because I’m so familiar with this link address that I can recite it.]

Li Huanbin chuckled softly. The live camera moved and cut to the player seats.

In the TWG player seats, the first person captured by the camera was Bai Chen.

Li Huanbin gave a one-sentence evaluation: “TWG’s Assault Player, Chen, is cold-hearted and tough. He’s a hard nut to crack.”

Then came Shen Xiao.

Li Huanbin curved his lips into a smile: “TWG’s other Assault Player, Seamy, has brilliant mechanics, is sometimes a bit reckless, but he’s impulsive and quite cute.”

[An Alpha’s evaluation of another Alpha is ‘quite cute’?]

[Tsk tsk tsk, I can’t say.]

On the screen, Shen Xiao tilted his head and said something to Bai Chen. Bai Chen also turned his face, his expression slightly softened. Because of this small interaction, the camera lingered on them for a while before moving to the next person.

Soon, Xu Ziyan’s fair and handsome face appeared on the screen.

An Omega with outstanding looks, coupled with the popularity from the previous long period of being at the center of public opinion, instantly caused the bullet screen to scroll across the screen exponentially.

“TWG’s Medic, Ice. Player Ice can be said to be the most watched rookie player in recent years,” Li Huanbin said. “The trend of Medics carrying a taser to flank and touch butts in Ranked Match recently is all thanks to him. I have to say, whether it’s mechanics, awareness, or the understanding of the profession and innovation of tactics, Ice can be called an outstanding player. TWG really struck gold by finding such a rookie player.”

He rarely spoke so much during the player introduction segment, and the subject of his special attention happened to be an Omega.

For netizens, even if it’s a turtle and a snapping turtle, as long as they both have shells, they are a match made in heaven. Not to mention an Alpha and an Omega, which made them even more imaginative.

For a time, the direction of the bullet screen all shifted to the two people’s CP and ambiguous relationship.

Li Huanbin was dumbfounded, then saw the camera move on the screen, and the face of the last TWG player was revealed.

The bullet screen scrolled, almost causing a slight lag.

He turned off the bullet screen assistant and then spread his hands: “TWG’s Sniper, Shining… I won’t introduce this one. I probably don’t need to.”

[Shining, full name Xie Wei, known as God Xie, consecutive three-year Resist China Server number one, World Champion Sniper, Top-Tier Alpha, 1.88 meters tall, only son of the Xie Group, same name on Weibo and Line, welcome to follow.]

[? Sister upstairs, your introduction is too detailed. Tell the truth, are you a love rival?]

[God Xie’s fans are good at drawing traffic.]

[Don’t be ridiculous, does God Xie need to draw traffic?]

[God Xie!!!!]

Outside the camera, Xie Wei seemed to sense something, raised his head, and smiled at the camera.

A wave of screams immediately erupted.

In his headset, the referee was conducting the final calibration and rule confirmation. Xie Wei withdrew his gaze and adjusted his headset: “Ice, are you nervous?”

Xu Ziyan was staring intently at the map, silently praying for a map with a favorable terrain. Hearing the question, he paused: “Nervous?”

“About commanding.” Xie Wei estimated that the camera had already turned to KW. He rested his chin on his hand and tilted his head to look, his posture a bit more casual. “But even if you are nervous, it can’t be helped. Today’s new tactic was your idea, and choosing you as the commander is the optimal choice.”

A hint of confusion flashed in Xu Ziyan’s eyes. Then he suddenly realized that they were on the competition stage, and their voice chat at this moment would be recorded by the official and released after the match.

If he made a mistake in commanding this round, and the online trolls started assigning blame after the match, having this voice recording would at least make the criticism less severe for him.

If the match went well today, then this voice recording would be the icing on the cake, and it was Xie Wei openly attributing the credit to Xu Ziyan.

A warm current surged through his heart. Xu Ziyan pursed his lips and smiled: “I’m not nervous.”

“That’s good.”

The groundwork had been laid, and saying more would be sentimental. Xie Wei said no more and confirmed the final preparation round with the referee.

The map for the first semi-final match between TWG and KW was quickly revealed.

Morgan Manor.

Attack and Defense Capture Point map. KW is the defending side, TWG is the attacking side.

The moment this map appeared, Xu Ziyan’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

On the commentary desk, the two commentators simultaneously let out an “Ah” of surprise.

“This map, how should I put it?” Commentator A tilted his head. “Morgan Manor is a new map after the last version update, but due to bugs, it was never officially featured in the pre-season matches. The subsequent update in the playoffs fixed the relevant bugs, so this… should be its first appearance in a match, right?”

Commentator B said: “Yes, according to the data provided by the director, including other national regions, this is the first time Morgan Manor has appeared in an official match. We are very much looking forward to what kind of exciting match and tactical layout the TWG and KW players will bring us.”

Commentator A said: “Yes, but regarding this map, I want to explain something further. Everyone knows that Morgan Manor is a villa estate located on a sea cliff. Its A and B points, and even the spawn points, are arranged very strangely. Point A is inside the villa, Point B is below the sea cliff, and the spawn points are located on the mountainsides on both sides. When this map first came out, players who played it should know that the biggest cause of death was not the enemy, but the terrain. It’s too easy to accidentally step off and fall to your death on this map.”

Commentator B said: “Yes, whether it’s Point A’s villa facing the uphill route for the attacking side, or Point B’s low point on the sea cliff, this means that even if the attacking side successfully breaks through Point A, to capture Point B, they must send one player down to the sea cliff while the others stay above the sea cliff to defend… This is quite difficult.”

In short, this was a map heavily favoring the defending side.

Fortunately, the rules stipulated that as long as TWG defended successfully in the second round, even if KW successfully attacked in the first and third rounds, the match would enter the fourth round, where TWG would attack again.

This cycle would continue until one side’s attack countdown ran out and the other side led in score, thus determining the winner.

That being said, being the attacking side in the first round still brought a lot of psychological pressure.

Seeing this, Xie Wei was about to say something when he heard Xu Ziyan calmly begin the tactical deployment.

So, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.

He smiled.

Yu Guangzhou was right. Xu Ziyan was not as fragile as he thought, nor did he need his protection that much.

He was not a fledgling; he was capable of soaring.
