Chapter 952: They are qualified

The conference room was instantly quiet.

It was only quiet on the surface, but they were clearly unconvinced in their hearts. Some people directly showed it on their faces, revealing expressions of dissatisfaction and speechlessness.

The players' reactions fell into the eyes of the coaching team. Coach Chen Nianhao, who was responsible for training Shen Xing's group, couldn't help but say in a deep voice upon seeing this: "The selection of players for all leagues concerns the club's results and honor. Do you think our coaching team would joke about such things?"

As Chen Nianhao spoke, a complex emotion appeared in his eyes.

Because he knew in his heart that this spot for Xu Qinmei was something he strongly recommended, and the coaching team discussed it for a long time before finally confirming it this morning.

As the head coach of this team, Chen Nianhao didn't deny that even he was very pessimistic about this team at the beginning, especially not having any expectations for the female players.

But in e-sports, technology and operation are the most powerful and intuitive proof.

During this period, he watched the training of this team that was recommended for direct entry into the youth training competition. From the beginning, he could pick out some faults in everyone, but later they became more and more tacit, and their personal abilities became stronger and stronger.

As a coach, he even felt that everyone in this team had the ability to carry the whole field, including Mu Jin in the support position.

And during the "soloking" player selection, Chen Nianhao struggled for a long time within the team. She felt that both Bai Lianghe and Yu Qian had the strength to participate, but finally chose Xu Qinmei because Xu Qinmei had better data support and backing, making it easier to convince the coaching team.

As for Shen Xing, he was selected by Coach Haichang, who clearly valued Shen Xing and wanted him to have more opportunities to experience major competitions.

"Coach, we are not questioning the decision of the club and the coaching team, but we all know that Shen Xing and Xu Qinmei are both newly signed players to the club. Why can they participate in such an important competition for the first time?"

Some players were unbalanced. Even if they couldn't participate themselves, they couldn't accept that new players surpassed them.

Others spoke up for other old players with skills: "That's right, Coach, Xiaolu, Bai Xiaoguang, and Zhao Hailong, as A-level players, their skills are obvious to all and more convincing. Why weren't they selected?"

"That's right... I don't understand this arrangement..."

Seeing that public anger was rising and the players' emotions were clearly starting to become restless, Coach Haichang said coldly: "The coaching team decided this way, there must be sufficient reasons. Don't you want to know?"

After speaking, Coach Haichang directly switched the screen and popped up Xu Qinmei's information: "Xu Qinmei, the 2026 National Champion of the 'Gods Alliance Peripheral Solo Competition'."

"Same as the 'soloking 1V1 Challenge' mode, Xu Qinmei just won the National Championship in the 'Gods Alliance Peripheral Solo Competition'. How is she not qualified to get a spot in the competition?"

"I know some of you must want to say that the 'Peripheral Solo Competition' is just an online major competition, a bush-league without competition grading. But in all fairness, precisely because this major competition is an online competition and has generous prize money, it has attracted countless 'road kings' and 'technical anchors' to participate. The difficulty of the second half of the competition is comparable to hell level, not losing to the 'soloking Challenge' at all."

"Not to mention far away, among you present, there shouldn't be many who haven't signed up for this competition, right? Who among you has won the championship? Let alone the championship, raise your hand if you have entered the top eight of the finals, let me see?"

The scene was silent, because Coach Haichang was right.

Although the "Peripheral Solo Competition" Xu Qinmei participated in had a low threshold for registration, the players who were making up the numbers would be quickly eliminated in the early stages. When the competition entered the second half, the remaining ones were all technical giants, and the difficulty of the competition was very high.

Let alone the top eight of the finals, those who could enter the top twenty were all masters with semi-professional levels.

Shen Xing, Bai Lianghe, and the others couldn't help but give Xu Qinmei a thumbs up after hearing Coach Haichang's words.

As teammates, they knew best how high Xiao Mei's technical level was; in a one-on-one, she was absolutely a demon-level existence.

And Coach Haichang couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw these people off the stage unable to speak: "Don't harbor prejudice against girls, thinking that you can be stronger than all girls just because you are a man."

"And Xiaolu, whom you just mentioned..." Coach Haichang locked onto Xiaolu, an A-level player sitting in the front row, scaring Xiaolu into shrinking his neck, knowing in his heart what the coach was going to say.

Sure enough, Coach Haichang said softly: "Xu Qinmei had a 1V1 one-on-one with Xiaolu on the day she signed into the club, and the result was that Xu Qinmei won."

"Since you think Xiaolu is qualified to participate in 'soloking', then Xu Qinmei, who won against him, is even more qualified!"

Xiaolu buried his head very deep in embarrassment, as if losing to a girl made him feel very shameful.

Coach Chen Nianhao saw this and said loudly: "Xiaolu, don't feel ashamed. You lost to the National Champion of the 'Peripheral Solo Competition'. Based on the number of participants in this competition, nearly 500,000 people lost to Xu Qinmei in one session!"

And at this very moment, some players realized belatedly and whispered: "Isn't this year's champion someone called 'Shadow'?"

"'Shadow' is her? Is it a girl?"

"Damn, the finals of that competition were so exciting, this 'Shadow's' magic assassin hero is so awesome!"

"I watched it too, super show, I think it's completely at the level of a professional player, didn't expect it to be a girl."

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Xu Qinmei curiously, and the look in their eyes clearly changed.

And at this time, Coach Haichang pressed the remote control, and Shen Xing's information appeared on the screen.

"Shen Xing, former captain of the 'Longcheng University Team', National Champion of the 'University League' Summer Competition, winner of the league single-game MVP record, winner of the National Finals MVP player."

Coach Haichang looked at the people off the stage and suddenly let out a cold laugh: "I previously asked you to pay attention to the 'University League' Summer Competition, many people probably didn't watch it, right? Who watched it?"

Because the "University League" was a C-level league, B-level players and A-level players looked down on this competition from the bottom of their hearts, so most people didn't watch it.

Basically, those who raised their hands were C-level players.

Coach Haichang randomly pointed at two people: "Then you should know Shen Xing's team, right? What do you think of their skills?"

The two named players stood up and said in all fairness: "I think they are quite strong, not only is the team strong, but their personal abilities are also very prominent."

"Yes, I also think they are quite amazing, especially Shen Xing, his skills are definitely no problem, belonging to the kind that is leading the others by a gap among the players in the 'University League'." ===== CHAPTER 953 =====
