Main Position: Mid lane
Core Attributes (Radar Chart):

Known Weaknesses: Extremely unstable mental state, weak team coordination awareness, poor tactical discipline, needs improvement in macro play and roaming awareness; heavily biased champion pool.
Talent List:
【Young Lady Coming Through, Everyone Move!】(S+ tier talent, inactive): When Su Wanwan makes flashy plays, this talent may trigger, greatly boosting all attributes. After the effect ends, may enter brief “sage time” (slightly reduced all attributes).
【Young Lady’s Defeated Opponents】(S+ tier talent, inactive): When Su Wanwan gets solo kills/clutch outplays, this will definitely trigger, marking the opponent as weak. When facing marked weak opponents, all attributes greatly increase with higher chances of godlike plays. This effect carries over to the next game.
【Emotional Overload】(D tier talent, active): When Su Wanwan experiences multiple negative events in quick succession, may enter 【Emotional Overload】state. In this state, her mechanics become extremely unstable and she will ignore some communication signals from teammates.
【Hidden Talent】(Unique tier, inactive)
Another S+ potential player.
The small women’s esports club was actually hiding dragons and phoenixes!
But… should he bond with her?
High potential was just one aspect—attitude toward the game was also important.
Otherwise, like Huanfeng going out to fool around with girls during Worlds, what’s the point!
Based on Su Wanwan’s first impression… Jiang Yuan wasn’t sure.
“Alright.” Jiang Yuan said: “This morning we won’t play flex queue. Let’s solo queue and practice champions first.”
Under the coach’s arrangement, top lane practiced Renekton, mid practiced Yone, bot practiced Ashe-Braum.
Jiang Ruoxi practiced Lillia and other AP carries.
Ji Shiyun watched all this from behind, speechless for a long time.
After a while, she picked up her phone to collect food delivery coupons, thinking she needed to order something good for lunch today…
Lunchtime.
Jiang Yuan took his takeout to an empty room, browsing his phone while eating.
His phone had accumulated quite a few messages.
An esports club friend had sent him a screenshot—a WeChat Moments post from men’s esports club president Wang Hao:
“Some people are half-empty bottles making the most noise. This kind of person still wants to coach a team? Hilarious.”
Jiang Yuan couldn’t be bothered with him.
Esports is about strength.
Wait until I lead five girls to crush you, then see what you have to say.
The internet cafe tournament is just the beginning, with collegiate league right after. In the end, I’ll kick you all out of the activity room!
Better maintain good relations with the internet cafe owner—when training here in the future, ask him for a discount.
Another new message arrived.
Yu Feng: “Yuan, can you bring back three meals?”
Jiang Yuan: “No time today, women’s team has training.”
Yu Feng: “Oh, okay.”
About two minutes later.
Yu Feng: “What? Women’s team?”
Jiang Yuan: “Yeah, didn’t get to tell you guys yesterday. I joined the women’s esports club and I’m their coach now.”
Yu Feng: “Holy shit! Godfather, are there any goddess-level girls? Hook me up?”
Jiang Yuan: “There’s a top laner with great curves. You guys can chat when you get the chance.”
Yu Feng: “Thank you big bro for precision poverty alleviation! (crying milk dragon emoji)”
Soon, his other two roommates also came calling him godfather.
Jiang Yuan figured this was perfect—one foot-picking support and one cold AD, he’d introduce them all. One radish, one hole—perfect!
The door opened, and noise poured in.
Jiang Yuan looked up to see Ji Shiyun entering with takeout and sitting beside him.
She smiled and said: “Thanks for your hard work this morning, Coach Jiang.”
Jiang Yuan returned the smile.
Ji Shiyun opened her takeout box, took just a few small bites, then put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth.
Jiang Yuan: “Eating so little?”
“Yeah, I have a small appetite.” Ji Shiyun propped her face with one hand, her gaze falling on Jiang Yuan: “Coach, with your abilities and level, why did you join our club?”
“Had a falling out with my previous club.”
Ji Shiyun frowned: “Then they really lost out. You’re so excellent—how could they bear to let you go?”
“They don’t see it that way.”
Jiang Yuan smiled and changed the subject:
“What about you, President? I notice you don’t really play games. Why did you become president of an esports club?”
Ji Shiyun said: “Have you heard of the Zerg Queen from Canada?”
“Of course. Scarlett, the Queen of Blades, 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics StarCraft invitational champion, esports’ first Olympic gold medal.”
“Exactly!” Ji Shiyun’s eyes lit up: “She’s my idol, which is why I joined the esports club. I want our country to produce a girl like that too.”
Jiang Yuan nodded: “Jiang Ruoxi and Su Wanwan both have that potential.”
“Yes!” Ji Shiyun’s eyes sparkled: “Actually our club has been around for several years, but we never had results in competitions before. Members would come and go. Only after Ruoxi joined did we finally make it to the offline stage of an internet cafe tournament for the first time!”
“Right, but aside from those two, the other three girls are lacking in ability.”
“Yes…”
“League of Legends is a five-person game after all. To go pro, the top, AD, and support positions would need to be replaced.”
“I understand.” Ji Shiyun sighed: “But… there are so few girls who play esports…”
Jiang Yuan wasn’t too worried about this.
After winning the internet cafe tournament, they could use that momentum to recruit, then pick out a few more S-tier talent players. That shouldn’t be too difficult.
The internet cafe tournament was next weekend, with a tight schedule.
They’d determine the winner over Saturday and Sunday, with a 20,000 yuan prize for first place.
The biggest obstacle was Jinling University men’s esports club’s second team.
As he pondered this, the room door opened.
Su Wanwan entered, walked up to Jiang Yuan with a hint of challenge in her eyes:
“Coach, Ruoxi says you’re really strong at mid lane? Let’s 1v1, let me see your skills.”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Waste of time.”
Su Wanwan huffed and put her hands on her hips: “Scared?”
“You’re Gold rank. What do I have to be scared of?”
“I’m only stuck because I keep fighting with teammates! In 1v1, even Ruoxi can’t beat me!”
“…” Jiang Yuan frowned, about to refuse.
Suddenly, he thought of something and changed his tone: “Fine
