Chapter 3 is now open for business.
Another wave of EDG fans began flooding into the live stream room.
The other spectators were also quite excited, exclaiming, "Wow, it's Deft! This is going to be tough!"
"Xiangxiang, your luck is terrible! How did you even get matched like this? Deft seems to have just started his quest for the top spot on the Korean server!"
"Hehe, you've just arrived in KG, and your luck has already turned bad, hasn't it?"
Seeing that the opponent was Deft, everyone couldn't help but feel unlucky; no one wanted to encounter a strong opponent in ranked matches.
However, judging from the footage in the live stream, LWX appeared completely excited, even thrilled.
Bad luck?
On the contrary, this is incredibly lucky!
If I can just crush Deft in one game, then the best time to GG will come, right?
"Liu Qingsong! This round..." Lin Weixiang turned his head and looked at Liu Qingsong's position. As if by telepathy, Liu Qingsong also looked over.
"We must take them down!" The two men revealed determined looks and each locked in their signature champions: Lucian and Thresh.
"To sell goods!"
......
"Why are they playing so aggressively? It's unbelievable!"
"Are you really sure this is ranked play? Going all out from the start, is it really necessary?"
"How many points will I get if I win?"
Inside the EDG club in the distance, Deft stared helplessly at his black screen, wondering what was going on. The opposing bot lane duo had immediately targeted him and started attacking relentlessly.
Thresh's predictive Q was far inferior to his support's, and the two of them kept charging at him, killing him four times in just ten minutes!
Seeing that the enemy jungler was about to break through the bottom lane, he kept ganking the bottom lane and won the game.
The top, mid, and jungle lanes were in decent shape, but they couldn't withstand the bot lane's dominance. The extended game time actually made Deft even more frustrated, and by the end of the game, he had a 1-9 score.
"Wow, Xiangxiang is awesome! Is he already in such good form right from the start of the broadcast? His subtle movements and maneuvers completely stunned Deft."
"Songsong is not bad either, his various predictive Qs have left Deft dizzy."
"Awesome, awesome!"
"You had a great time."
The chat was full of praise for the two, and the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 2000, which was even higher than the peak viewership of their live stream.
With the right timing, location, and people, when else should we sell if not now?
Liu Qingsong took the lead. While playing the game, he had already come up with his own GG (game-changing) phrases and started playing by grabbing the keyboard.
"Do you guys know why my Thresh's predictive Q is so good? It's because I have a KG blue-light keyboard, which allows me to hook Deft and get the i9 from the research lab!"
"The KG blue light keyboard is unlike any other keyboard; the confidence it gives me is unimaginable!"
"This keyboard is the best I've ever used since becoming a professional player, and it's also very affordable, with prices ranging from 99 to 599!"
"Want to beat up Deft like I did? Then grab your phone and place your order now!"
what?
The entire Songsong group was stunned while watching the live stream.
Is this still the shy boy I know?
On the other side, Lin Weixiang also finished reading a passage and started selling mice like crazy.
After that series of actions, a long string of "???" comments immediately flashed across the screen.
Is this really the Xiangxiang I know? Who is this?!
At this moment, the fan group was also in an uproar, with everyone discussing what was going on.
Soon, a prominent figure stepped forward to explain.
"I think I remember now, the three people that KG Club bought were selling peripherals in their live streams every day."
"There's such a thing? Haha, putting everything else aside, it really makes me laugh."
"Hey, you know what, I was just about to get a new keyboard, so I'll support Songsong Xiangxiang."
"Me too! I was just about to buy a mouse, and I ended up buying Songsong's first keyboard!"
"Then I'll go get Xiangxiang's first mouse!"
In the live stream, after a moment of confusion, casual viewers burst into laughter. Clearly, the two were brought in by the club for promotional purposes, and it was genuinely hilarious.
Mouse and keyboard are also frequently used by gamers, so why not buy one?
Lin Kong stood behind, quite satisfied with what he saw, especially the rapidly increasing number of orders in the shops.
"You're integrating pretty quickly!"
"It has to be said that there's a reason why it's so popular for selling goods; the catchy copywriting is completely detached from everyday life."
"Novel approaches often pique the audience's curiosity, and coupled with the celebrity effect, people don't care about the quality of the goods. They place orders like crazy, so there's no worry about selling them!"
In 16, Douyin had just launched its product line, and its sales strategy hadn't yet become widespread. For viewers, the impact of Douyin was indeed a game-changer.
Lin Kong's cash flow is maintained by the players selling their own stockpiled goods, including various e-sports peripherals, milk tea, and other merchandise, etc., with a daily turnover of tens of thousands of yuan.
This is something Zhu Kai greatly admires.
"The boss's idea is brilliant. I would never have thought of this way of selling goods in my entire life."
"Hey, you!"
Seeing Zhu Kai flattering him from the side, Lin Kong got annoyed and gave him a light kick.
"All you do is flatter, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and start livestreaming to sell products!"
"Otherwise, you're prepared to starve to death on your meager base salary, aren't you?"
"Yes, yes, boss, I'll go right now."
Lin Kong lightly scolded Zhu Kai, and the two joked with each other, laughing and joking.
Before leaving, Lin Kong reminded Zhu Kai, "Now that everyone in KG is here..."
"The LSPL will start in about ten days. We've just finished assembling our team, so we need to intensify our training."
"Selling goods is one aspect, training is another; neither can be neglected."
"Let's start arranging training matches tomorrow. Let's schedule three groups each day, one at 2 pm, 4 pm, and 7 pm."
"I'll arrange the opponent; you just need to inform them."
"Okay!"
After discussing the training match, Lin Kong went home to rest, leaving the players to get to know each other on their own tonight.
It was past 1 a.m. when Lin Kong fell asleep.
Inside the KG training room, the five boys had been talking until their throats were dry.
Many viewers in the live stream have fallen asleep, and the audience has become a fixed group of long-time fans, so continuing to sell products hasn't been very effective.
Everyone stopped and started their own ranked training.
"Um, are you Liu Qingsong or Lin Weixiang?"
Hearing someone call their names, the two turned around at the same time and saw a boy with messy hair and round-framed glasses.
"My name is Gao Tianliang, I play jungle!" Gao Tianliang smiled, his originally fierce expression softening considerably as the corners of his mouth turned up. Coupled with his friendly tone, he looked like a sunny young man.
"Hello, Brother Gao!"
Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong spoke at the same time, saying that since the other party had greeted them, they should naturally respond.
Besides, they'll be teammates in the future, so it's essential to maintain a good relationship.
Hearing him addressed as "Brother Gao," Gao Tianliang felt embarrassed. "I'm a year younger than you all, just call me Xiaotian, or you can call me by my full name."
"We have a scrim tomorrow, how do you guys usually play your bot lane?"
"Let me learn a little about it."
"Hey, just so you know, I don't usually like roaming in the mid lane. I'm much better at laning!"
"Brother Tian, could you tell them about the situation in our Nakano area?"
Hearing the conversation on one side, the boy on the other side spoke up, his accent thick with dialect, making his Mandarin somewhat difficult to understand.
That alone wouldn't be anything particularly noteworthy.
Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong were both stunned, mainly because they had never seen anyone use this guy to hold the mouse with his left hand.
But such an arrogant tone is a bit annoying.
They were specially recruited by Lin Kong. What do you mean he won't help them in the laning phase?
Lin Kong said that they are the most promising and the future core of the KG team!
Lin Weixiang's arrogance surged up immediately. He had just won a series of victories and broken through 800 points in the Korean server, which was considered a record-breaking achievement.
"Oh dear, I'm playing on the Korean server..."
Just as Lin Weixiang was about to retort, Xiao Tian stopped him and explained first.
"King's words are hard to hear, but he's really fierce in lane."
"He's currently ranked second in the Korean server; very few people can hold their own against him in lane."
"What?"
Second in Korean server?
That's not 1300 points!
Lin Weixiang was immediately deflated when he heard that this guy called K Emperor was ranked second in the Korean server, where there were many experts.
What is the Korean server? It's a place where professional players fight it out. The top ten players on the Korean server over the years are definitely not weak.
They are either top-tier amateur players or core members of various professional teams.
Liu Qingsong, who was standing next to him, immediately felt admiration. Although the Korean server rankings do not represent everything, they are only on the LPL stage.
If it were in LSPL, or their City Heroes Championship, even a top player like the second-best in the Korean server would be outstanding, if not exceptionally good.
Having a player like this as a teammate is simply wonderful.
Comfortable!
Liu Qingsong really enjoys chatting, and since Xiao Tian is quite friendly, he started chatting with Xiao Tian again.
"Speaking of which, who's in first place right now?"
"It's that guy, what's his name again? He's a really famous top laner, I think it's something like TheShy!"
"Players who play Riven and Fiora are ridiculously strong; I've been matched with them in queue."
"Riven's combos are ridiculously fast. I was instantly killed by her once before, and I didn't even have time to react."
Lin Weixiang glanced at the ranking list and said quickly, "The top ten in the Korean server are all very famous. I've been playing in high-elo games on the Korean server for so long, I know them all."
I don't know who the real person is, but I have some recollection of their game ID.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian laughed and pointed to Jiang Chenglu in the far corner, "Isn't he right there?"
There are more experts?!
A small LSPL club actually has two outstanding talents.
Thinking about how he had just planned to show off his 800+ points in singles and doubles, Lin Weixiang now just wanted to slap himself twice.
Thankfully, he didn't make a move, otherwise the two brothers would probably have laughed him to the ground.
One mid laner is ranked second in the Korean server, and the other top laner is ranked first in the Korean server!
"Um, I wanted to ask, Brother Tian, you're not third, are you?"
"Haha, that's not it either."
"That's good. It seems they're not all perverts..." Seeing that Xiaotian wasn't third, the two felt a sense of companionship and were immediately relieved. At least they seemed to be able to compete.
From now on, the three of them will be KG's best partners!
"I'm fourth, and Pawn is third. He scored more than ten points higher than me."
......
It's four in the morning, time to go to sleep.
With a huge sense of shock, Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong welcomed their first night at KG.
The next day at noon, Lin Kong drove to the club.
Today is the first training day with everyone present, and as KG's true head coach, he naturally has to be there.
"get up!!!"
Upon arriving at the dormitory on the fourth floor, Lin Kong personally woke up all of KG. Seeing that the boss had arrived, none of the five dared to delay and all got up immediately.
The five boys were gathered in the training room on the fifth floor. They were all sleepy-eyed, and when the cook brought up lunch, they had no appetite to eat.
"I've scheduled all three scrimmages for today. We'll start with a best-of-three series against EDG at 3 PM."
"I'll come here to see what kind of system and playstyle suits you, especially Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang. I'll think of some ideas for you two on how to integrate into the team."
"Xiao Kai, remember to record the game. I'll do a replay for them right after we're done."
puff! ! !
Upon hearing the name EDG, Liu Qingsong immediately perked up.
Should we play against LPL teams in scrims, or against the strongest LPL team on paper?
