Chapter 34: Do you have such a thing?
The aura Chen Song exuded in an instant made a figure involuntarily appear in Su Xiaoluo's mind.
Faker Lee Sang-hyeok.
That absolute confidence is exactly like Faker's when he's on stage.
Su Xiaolu stared at Chen Song, her thoughts mirroring his.
But what can we do?
The current problem is that the coach is a very important factor, but the players and other aspects are equally important.
Shaking her head, Su Xiaoluo's phone suddenly started vibrating continuously.
He took out his phone, looked at it, and stared at Chen Song in astonishment: "If, I mean if, you were to go on stage to draft the next match, are you confident you could win..."
"I absolutely will not lose!"
Chen Song answered decisively.
Su Xiaoluo didn't ask any further questions, but instead said, "I'll have someone register you as a new teaching assistant right away."
He then slowly stood up and continued, "When you go back, call Karam and Mafa over. I want to talk to them personally."
Chen Song thought for a moment and said, "If possible, I'll be the one to speak up."
"Alright."
Su Xiaoluo nodded.
Watching Chen Song's departing figure, Su Xiaoluo's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.
To his surprise, Principal Wang actually sent him several messages on behalf of Chen Song.
He knew very well what this meant.
……
When Chen Song returned to the training room, he happened to see Karam arguing with Ning.
"...Smida..."
Chen Song understood the reason for Karam's anger; roughly, it meant, "I'm the coach, listen to me. Ning, you just need to follow my instructions."
Ning criticized Karam's draft picks as rigid and accusations that he didn't understand IG's playstyle.
The two men, with the translator caught in the middle, argued heatedly, their faces turning red.
Then, something amazing happened.
Karam, who was arguing with Ning until their faces turned red just a second ago.
When he was in front of TheShy, he was like a completely different person, and he had lost all the momentum he had when he was fighting Ning.
He subtly suggested to TheShy that he hoped TheShy wouldn't get so carried away, as it would make it easy for the opposing team to seize opportunities and snowball their advantage.
TheShy directly refuted this, stating that when he had such a large advantage in the laning phase, his teammates should have come to gank top lane for him immediately, instead of constantly focusing on the enemy mid lane.
This is TheShy's usual playstyle.
For a long time, IG was able to win games using this playstyle.
Ning and the others may not understand Korean, but Chen Song does!
How is the way Karam speaks to TheShy any different from a concubine in the imperial harem who can't win the emperor's favor?
Chen Song couldn't believe that a head coach could be so humble in front of the players.
So it seems they were just taking advantage of Ning's inability to understand Korean.
Or perhaps Ning was aware of this situation, which is why he was so confrontational with Karam.
In this situation, it's inevitable that Ning would give up.
Why should I be treated differently when we're teammates? Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation.
Just as Karam was about to turn around, Chen Song's voice came over at an inopportune moment.
"카람코치님, 이쌍표남이선수를대하는방식은정말저의눈을크게뜨게하는군요!"
(Coach Karam, your double standards in treating the players have truly opened my eyes!)
Chen Song walked up to Ning and stared intently at Karam.
Karam turned around and looked at Chen Song: "Chen Song, what do you mean by this? I have always treated all players equally. I praise them when they play well and criticize them when they play poorly. This is perfectly normal."
Karam remained calm and composed, showing no displeasure whatsoever from Chen Song's words.
Chen Song lowered his head, pursed his lips, and smiled. Then he looked up at Karam.
"Then let me ask you, when Ning offered to play a hero, you did everything you could to stop him and disagree, but when TheShy wanted to play a hero, why were you all over him, not daring to say a word?"
Tell me, why?
Karam never imagined that a tactical analyst would dare to stand in front of him and speak to him in such an attitude.
"Holy...holy shit!"
TheShy and Rookie stared wide-eyed, frozen in place.
"At this moment, I don't care what your reasons are for questioning me here, but now, as the head coach of IG, I order you, the tactical analyst, to get out of here immediately."
Although Ning couldn't understand the specifics, he could roughly guess what was going on from Karam's suddenly flushed face and Chen Song's unyielding attitude.
The air in the training room seemed to have been sucked out by half. TheShy and Rookie stood to the side, one looking embarrassed and the other looking completely innocent.
"Old Song, what are they arguing about?"
JackeyLove touched Rookie with his hand.
Rookie didn't say anything.
At this point, should we have him act as the translator?
Isn't that inappropriate?
"Head coach? Someone who's always at a disadvantage in drafting. Honestly, if it were me, I'd feel ashamed to say it out loud."
"That's true, a coach as shameless as you can definitely say such things."
Karam took a deep breath, trying his best to maintain the authority of the head coach: "Chen Song, I'm in charge here now. You're just an analyst, you have no right to tell me how to coach."
"Coaching style? Do you even have that?"
Chen Song said in Chinese, "Ning, I'm asking you, in the last match against LNG, who said that Aatrox wouldn't be banned?"
"It's Coach Karam, of course. He confidently said that he would give the counter pick to TheShy, so there's no need to be afraid of Aatrox at all."
"So, do you think we should ban Aatrox?"
"Yes, we should! Heroes that are either banned or picked should definitely be banned. If we were on the blue side, we wouldn't need to ban them."
"So this is your coaching style? Completely disregarding the game version and completely ignoring the players' opinions."
After saying that, Chen Song looked at Rookie and said, "Could you translate this for me? It's impossible to communicate with this kind of person."
Rookie pointed to himself: "Should I translate?"
No?
Why should I translate this?
I just want to quietly watch the drama unfold... that's all.
Karam stood frozen in place.
He understood the word "translate" in the conversation just now.
Rookie usually acts as the translator.
So he would occasionally use these two words to tell Rookie to help translate them for the players.
What did Chen Song and Ning discuss?
Karam looked at Rookie.
"It means your coaching skills are poor; you don't even know to ban a hero like Aatrox, who is a must-ban or must-pick in this version."
Chen Song stood aside and nodded, tacitly agreeing with what he had said.
Karam paused for a moment, then chuckled, "This is really interesting. When did a tactical analyst start questioning my world championship... oh no, LPL Spring Split championship?"
Chen Song seemed to have known all along that Karam was going to say that.
"I joined IG on March 19th. At that time, the Spring Split was already in its later stages. I just leeched off a championship, but now I keep talking about the Spring Split championship."
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Coach Karam was the one who knew about the S8 World Championship behind the scenes!
