From Tabe's explanation, Lin Yang roughly understood the truth.
The culprit behind all of this was a person called Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao, the current manager of the RNG club, was in charge of personnel and team inspection.
According to Tabe, the starting lineup for today's match had already been announced. As the head coach, he wanted Lin Yang to be in charge of the top laner starting position. However, when the lineup was reported to Zhou Xiao, he was stopped.
With a wave of his pen, the other party changed the starting player for Top to New.
Tabe naturally argued for this, but Zhou Xiao's reply was light.
"Lin Yang, I know. He's our team's small reserve. He played well in the game two days ago, but he's still too young.”
"Look, in these two matches, he missed a few knives consecutively and couldn't be covered by seven or eight cannon cars. This shows that this little player's mentality is unstable.”
"Today is our last crucial match. It's better to let an old player like New play, right?”
Facing Lin Yang, Tabe felt guilty and angry."
"That Zhou Xiao is messing around!”
"What old team member is more stable? It's all for his own benefit!”
It turned out that although the RNG team club seemed harmonious, there were also some internal conflicts. As the head coach, Tabe was responsible for the team's tactical arrangements, but the player planning was in Zhou Xiao's hands.
New was a player that Zhou Xiao had personally groomed, but Lin Yang wasn't.
Therefore, in the last match, Tabe had personally selected Lin Yang to perform well on the field, which made Zhou Xiao, the manager of the team, feel that his position and power were threatened. That was why he forced New Bao to play to prove his presence as a manager.
"This is treating the competition as a game!"
Tabe couldn't help but lament," Zhou Xiao's mind is full of power struggles. He doesn't even think about how crucial this game is. If he doesn't play well, we won't be able to make the playoffs."
Lin Yang also frowned. He did not expect such a simple thing to be so complicated.
However, he was still able to keep his cool. He did not lose his temper as Tabe was worried about. Instead, he patted Tabe's shoulder and comforted him,"
"It's fine. Let New do it.”
"I'm fine with it."
Indeed, for the current him, he really did not care about the starting position in one or two games. He just wanted to ensure that he could win the game.
The team manager was disgusting, but the players were innocent.
Even if New Treasure did not contribute much to RNG, he had worked hard for more than half a season. With his strength, it should not be a problem for him to play RV today.
Tabe looked at Lin Yang and sighed,""It's just that you've suffered."
Lin Yang smiled.”
……
Soon, everyone in the team took the bus to the competition venue.
On the way, Xiaoming, Xiaohu, and the others in the bus also understood the situation. They came over to comfort and encourage Lin Yang."It's okay. You should rest first." "Cheer us up offstage. We guarantee to win back today.”"That Zhou guy…is a little disgusting.”
Faced with the comfort and concern of his teammates, Lin Yang's mood was also quite warm. He smiled and thanked them.
The only unpleasant interlude was when they arrived at the competition venue. In the backstage player lounge, the team manager Zhou Xiao appeared in person with a high-spirited expression.
"This is the last crucial match. Everyone, play well!”
"Lin Yang, as a newcomer, you should observe the performance of our old team members and learn from them. You still have a long way to go in the future.”
The second half of the sentence was said to Lin Yang with a smile. It sounded like he was teaching earnestly, but he could not hide his smugness.
Lin Yang's expression was indifferent as he ignored the other party.
On the other hand, the head coach, Tabe, Xiao Hu, Xiao Ming, and the other team members were all furious.
New was a little embarrassed. He came over and whispered to Lin Yang,""I'm sorry…"
Actually, he also felt that Zhou Xiao's approach was not very appropriate.
Lin Yang smiled and patted him on the shoulder."
"It's alright."
"You can do it!"
He didn't have any prejudice against New Treasure. As teammates, everyone wanted to contribute to the team's victory. He didn't want to put pressure on New Treasure, so he had to play well on the field.
Soon, it was RNG and RV's turn.
Head Coach Tabe led Xiaohu, Xiaoming, and the other five starting players out of the lounge and through the players 'passage to get on stage.
In the lounge, Lin Yang pulled out a chair and sat down in front of the spectator display screen. He looked at the team manager Zhou Xiao, who was still looking smug, and said indifferently,"
"Manager Zhou, you'd better pray that you can successfully get it today.”
"Otherwise, you'll probably be in trouble as a manager.”
Zhou Xiao's expression changed as if he had been poked in the sore spot. He flew into a rage out of humiliation.
Lin Yang, what do you mean?"
"The team's starting lineup was decided by our management after careful consideration. If you're not convinced, you can try complaining to the higher-ups later!”
"Alright, I hope so." Lin Yang smiled.”
Zhou Xiao felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Lin Yang's reply. He looked at Lin Yang coldly and sneered in his heart. Does this kid really think he's a big shot?
Anyway, today's opponent was a weak team like RV. Even if he had selfish motives to arrange for New Treasure to play, he could still win.
Lin Yang, you're just a substitute. Do you really think you're a big shot?
……
Five minutes later, under the watchful eyes of the public, the first round of BO3 between RNG and RV kicked off.
However…
40 minutes later.
On the screen, the red base crystal exploded.
In the RNG lounge backstage, almost all the club members, including Zhou Xiao, had a change in expression.
First battle of BO3.
Unexpectedly, RNG lost!
And in this match, it was because of a fatal mistake by the Top lane of the top lane, Bear, that he was killed twice by Renekton, who raised an invincible Renekton in the early and middle stages, causing the final situation to collapse.
Zhou Xiao's face turned pale."
"How, how did this happen?"
Lin Yang's expression darkened.
Reality changed.
In his memories before he transmigrated, today's RNG versus RV match should have been a two-game winning streak, but now, he unexpectedly lost the first match.
The situation was not good.
A moment later, Tabe, the head coach, returned to the backstage lounge with the five starting players. Tabe kicked the door open and walked in angrily. His eyes were like blades as he glared at Zhou Xiao.
"Mr. Manager, what a good decision!”
Zhou Xiao's lips quivered. He wanted to argue, but his phone suddenly rang. It was the club's big boss.
"B-Boss…" He hurriedly picked up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, the big boss suddenly scolded him. Zhou Xiao's face changed between green and red, and he was so embarrassed that he could not speak.
Lin Yang stood up from his seat and looked at Tabe."
"Coach?"
Tabe looked back with a dark expression."
"Yes."
"Next round, you go!"
