Reborn in S14, crush the entire league!

It was nearly nine o'clock when we got back to the base.

Tonight, Guo Hao is treating everyone to dinner out of his own pocket to celebrate the victory.

So we stayed out a little late.

Because it's getting late, the post-match review is temporarily canceled and will be moved to tomorrow morning.

After taking a shower, Chen Xiao had nothing else to do. After browsing Tieba and Weibo, he decided to go back to the training room to play ranked games.

After playing on the Korean server for so long, he decided to try something different.

He was feeling lonely and restless because he hadn't heard the beautiful "piano music" from the top of the canyon for so long.

But just as he entered the training room, a somewhat unfamiliar figure was already sitting inside.

Upon closer inspection, it was a boy who looked to be about 168 cm tall, with a youthful appearance, and a baby face that looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

He was sitting in the starting mid lane position, playing ranked games without saying a word.

Hearing the door open, he turned around slightly, his gaze falling on Chen Xiao, and looked him up and down.

But without saying anything, he turned his head back and continued operating.

This look, this temperament.

Creme, who was determined to take a break last week due to feeling unwell.

Seeing his attitude, Chen Xiao gave up the idea of ​​greeting him.

He wouldn't do something like offering a warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder, especially since the two were competitors.

However, seeing Little Cream here means that he has "recovered" and is ready to return to the team to play.

Chen Xiao stared at the back of his head for a couple of seconds, then let out a cold laugh.

The fact that he came back now, instead of earlier or later, clearly shows that he couldn't sit still after seeing his outstanding performance on the field.

I'm back to grab a spot!

……

Around 10 o'clock, the other teammates also arrived at the rest room one after another.

Only Ah Shui took a day off and went off to have a wonderful time with her boyfriend!

When Xiao Tian and Meiko saw Xiao Cream, they were stunned for a moment, then turned their gaze to Chen Xiao and looked at each other.

He then greeted Little Cream, returned to his seat, and didn't say anything more.

Clearly, both of them felt the oppressive atmosphere in the training room.

They also understood what Little Cream's return to the base meant.

When 369, who was walking at the back, saw Little Cream, his eyes lit up. He quickly walked over to her and smiled familiarly:

"Mr. Lin, you're back. How was your week of rest?"

Little Cream took off her headphones and nodded: "Not bad, I feel much more relaxed after going to the hospital."

He then pointed to the black bag placed on the coffee table next to him.

"These are local specialties I brought back from home. Please try them."

He then joked around with Xiaotian and Meiko for a couple more minutes before going back to play ranked games.

But he still didn't speak to Chen Xiao throughout the entire process.

Chen Xiao knew exactly what "little cream" meant and wanted to use his seniority to make him show weakness and greet him.

Generally speaking, he's not that bad at interpersonal relationships.

After all, the esports world isn't just about fighting and killing; it also involves interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

But you come in with this attitude right from the start. Who are you trying to intimidate?

He wouldn't stoop to that level.

I decided to ignore it and started my climb up the ranks on the Chinese server.

……

In the office on the other side.

Guo Hao and Mao Kai did not rest either.

The two sat facing each other, and Guo Hao pushed his phone in front of Mao Kai.

"Little Cream said he's fully recovered and ready to rejoin the team for matches; he's already in the training room..."

As she spoke, she looked up at Maokai, wanting to ask him what he meant.

Maokai glanced at it twice and frowned.

He understood what Guo Hao meant.

With Little Cream back, the starting mid-laner position needs to be decided.

On one side is Chen Xiao, who has performed well in two consecutive matches.

On one side is Xiao Cream, who was the core player of the OMG team last year.

Only one person can start the game.

Maokai pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Chen Xiao is in great form right now. He holds his own against both Scout and Rookie, and he plays aggressively without getting carried away. I think it would be better to continue starting Chen Xiao in the next game."

"Let's let Little Cream go in for the second round and let him adjust his condition."

He has a simple perspective on issues; he believes in letting results speak for themselves.

Chen Xiao is currently in excellent form and enjoying great popularity. His performance on the court is impeccable, and his synergy with his teammates is also quite good.

In the desire to win the game, it's definitely better to start Chen Xiao.

But Guo Hao thought about it a little more.

Although he agreed with Mokai's statement, there was a practical problem.

"When Lin Jian joined the team at the beginning of the year, I verbally promised him that I would at least secure him a starting position in the Spring Split, which is why he accepted the 300 million offer."

"If we start Chen Xiao now, he'll definitely object, and then things will get out of hand..."

"Furthermore, although Chen Xiao performed very well in these two matches, there's also the factor that his opponents haven't yet figured out, just like Wayward back then!"

When Wayward first appeared, he could only be described as "frenzied"!

The first Tryndamere player killed TheShy, then Flandre, and finally eliminated Bin.

Unrivaled in popularity!

They performed reasonably well in the Summer Split, although not as well as in the Spring Split, it was still acceptable.

Then came the summer playoffs, where all three of his tricks were dismantled, and he was completely outmaneuvered by other teams.

Then he faded into obscurity...

Wayward is a typical example of someone who had a "flash in the pan" and then hit the "rookie wall".

Guo Hao didn't dare to say whether Chen Xiao was like that or not, so he couldn't make up his mind to officially recognize him as his official partner.

After listening, Maokai didn't say anything, but just looked at Guo Hao with a questioning look.

Then why are you even asking?

Finally, Guo Hao and Mao Kai decided to ask for other people's opinions privately.

Let's see who we'd prefer to start.

Guo Hao felt that his decision was democratic, and that he couldn't be blamed for making the decision.

Having made up his mind, he secretly sneaked into each contestant's room that night to ask for their opinions.

……

The next morning, Chen Xiao received bad news.

His starting position is gone, and Little Cream will start in the next game.

Although he had expected it, Chen Xiao still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when it actually happened.

His performance in those two BO3s was flawless, but in the eyes of the coaching staff, he was still inferior to Little Cream.

As expected, the LPL is a place that values ​​seniority.

As soon as I arrived at the cafeteria, I saw Ah Shui scratching his head, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon seeing him, she hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered:

"Guo Hao came to my room last night and asked me if you and Little Cream were more suitable to be the starters."

Chen Xiao was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "So you chose the small cream?"

Ah Shui shook his head: "I didn't choose. I said you two played quite well."

"But when I saw the starting lineup in the group early on, I wondered if it was related to this matter."

Ah Shui still has a good impression of Chen Xiao.

He has the ability to perform well, and he is neither arrogant nor impatient. Although he is a newcomer, he is very calm in his performance on the field.

The team needs someone who dares to call a halt at crucial moments.

Chen Xiao nodded and fell into thought as well.

If Ah Shui is right, then it means that Guo Hao hadn't decided who would start last night.

But the decision was made early this morning, which means that some people, or even more people, have chosen the small cream.

This prompted Guo Hao to make a decision.

Just as Chen Xiao was lost in thought, 369's voice suddenly came from the side.

He was whistling, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

He walked straight to Ah Shui, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Wenbo, Lin Jian is back! We can go for the top spot on the leaderboard!"
