Chapter 389 All-Star Game(1/2)
The four members of CP renewed their contracts, which completely relieved Lin Huiyin's heart that had been hanging around for a while.
Although there is a small loss, fortunately, the winning lineup is basically retained. If we compete again in the new year with the existing lineup, the results should not be bad.
Even though the new jungler needs some time to get used to, judging from the lineup, there shouldn't be much of a problem for CP entering the playoffs, which means there will be a season for them to train and the players can get used to each other.
CP may lose to teams with relatively complete lineups, but ordinary teams are definitely not their opponents.
If the mid-to-lower LPL teams face CP, Lin Huiyin believes that even if it is a 4V5 team fight, CP will not be unable to defeat...
Why are you so confident? Because in this year's competition, CP often has four-on-five and three-on-five team battles, and has won many teams.
There are eight spots in the playoffs, so entering the playoffs is not a big problem for CP. You can make it to the playoffs just by relying on your foundation!
RNG's new lineup has really made other teams feel a sense of crisis. This is because they have taken advantage of the current LOL traffic and want to get a share of the championship.
EDG is still actively reinforcing, but due to the problem of two Han Yuans in the team, their recruitment path is not smooth. There are very few outstanding domestic top laners. If you want to find a blue-collar top laner to resist the pressure,
Then amazingJ is enough.
His performance in the league was okay, but the gap was widened in the World Championship. The main reason is that he has been under pressure for a long time, and it is difficult for him to play Warrior C. Even playing Warrior C is a kind of pressure resistance.
The current version of Riot Games is biased towards the top lane. No one knows whether the next version change will still be the Warrior's home field, so finding a Warrior top laner who can C will be prepared, at least it will not blind the Warrior version.
What EDG wants most is SS's Holy Spear Brother. Unfortunately, Holy Spear Brother is not for sale. He and jungler SofM have been established as the cornerstone of the team, and SS's lineup will be built around the two of them.
SS is interested in Chen Lang. The boss of the Snake Team feels that his team is missing a mid laner. He has Crystal Brother in the bottom lane. AD level is not bad. Jungler SofM and top laner Holy Spear. As long as Chen Lang joins SS, SS will definitely be able to join the ranks.
LPL top team.
Basically, there is no one in the LPL team who is not attracted to Chen Lang. He is like the rich and handsome guy on If You Are the One. All 24 girls in the audience light up for him and let him choose. It feels like he is choosing a concubine.
The news that CP will renew its contract was immediately announced through Weibo. CP fans started to celebrate, and CP's winning lineup was almost guaranteed!
"666, CP will continue to rush in the new year!"
"The four of them have renewed their contracts, but there is no news about Little Peanut. It seems that what was exposed on the Korean network is true. Little Peanut is gone."
"CP is short of a jungler, brothers, let's look for an outstanding jungler~"
"Brother Lang is indeed the core. He just renewed his contract, and then the rest of the team members also renewed their contracts. It seems that everyone is waiting for Brother Lang~"
"Shizui Langgou is the team leader. I guess when CP is eating, no one would dare to sit down unless Brother Lang sits down!"
"Did RNG and EDG spend so much money competing for second place?"
"It's so funny that CP fans are so confident? Are they starting to win the championship in vain before the fight starts?"
"I don't know if the championship team is not crazy, but the runner-up team is crazy? Oh, it turns out they are UZI fans, then it's okay, you can only boast about the runner-up~"
Fans are crazy during the transfer period. In addition to strongly recommending new players for their own teams, they also indispensably make sarcastic comments about fans of other teams.
The rest of the LPL teams are a little disappointed. They haven't caught any of the biggest fish in the transfer period...
The saddest ones are the three teams IG, LGD, and EDG.
EDG sees that CP's lineup is almost intact, and they haven't found a strong top laner. It's really difficult to play against CP in this new season...
Could it be said that after spending so much money, you still need to be beaten?
After CP officially announced the contract renewal of four players, EDG calmed down in the transfer market and made no more moves. The management believed that instead of continuing to spend a lot of money to become CP's opponent, it would be better to choose a top laner from their own youth training team and the second team.
never mind.
You can save money and develop players. If you play well, you can get some money by selling players in the future. This is the worst outcome. You may also draw an SSR card and EDG will explode directly.
For example, CP’s TheShy, isn’t he
EDG, which was active in the transfer market, has ceased its activities. This uncharacteristic style has made many clubs think that they are dormant and preparing to make big things happen.
In the transfer market in just a few days, everyone has been shocked several times, and their hearts are somewhat numb.
...
LGD club.
Queen ruru heard the news from the team leader that TheShy could not be introduced.
LGD and TheShy had a good discussion before, and everyone thought that the two parties would reach a cooperation. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, CP successfully retained TheShy, and LGD became a companion.
"Then there's no need to hesitate." Although ruru is a girl, she is very domineering, which is why she has the title of "Queen".
"Go directly to Marin. Our goal in the new season is still to win the championship!"
Originally, LGD's biggest goal in the offseason was to introduce top laners. Only Chen Lang could introduce mid laners, but they also knew that their chances were slim, and Wei Shen was not bad, so they didn't do anything special in recruiting Chen Lang.
Work hard, instead of spending a lot of energy competing with other teams to compete for Chen Lang, it is better to find an outstanding top laner.
The worst parts of LGD's lineup are the top lane and jungle. After the TBQ World Championship, they took the blame and left LGD. Now the jungle and top lane positions are vacant.
Regarding Flame, a veteran, LGD believed that there was a gap between him and the top top laner, so they did not renew his contract in the new season and allowed him to return to the LCK.
LGD takes a fancy to TheShy’s ca
y ability, their original goal was to choose among the three of marin, looper and TheShy, and they were more inclined to TheShy and looper.
Because the opponent has played in the LPL for a season, compared to LCK's Marin, he can adapt to the rhythm of the LPL faster and integrate into the team faster.
Unfortunately, looper and mata teamed up to go to RNG, and LGD failed to win. They thought they could negotiate with TheShy, but they were cut off at the last minute.
In the end, LGD had no choice but to choose Marin. However, what makes LGD happy is that Marin's salary is the lowest among the three.
After all, the salary in LCK is much lower than that in LPL, which is why the ten members of Samsung came to China last year, so TheShy and looper played in LPL for one year and their salary was higher.
When IMP learned that TheShy could not join LGD, he seemed a little disappointed but felt normal inside.
After all, CP is the team they jointly won the championship with. If other members renew their contracts, the probability of TheShy renewing their contract is already very high.
At the beginning, the five of them from SSW actually wanted to continue playing games together, but Samsung lowered the price too hard and the LPL gave too much, so everyone agreed to change jobs and go to the LPL together.
During the transfer period, IMP frantically contacted old teammates, but it was a pity that mata and looper were bound to RNG. Dandy's asking price was relatively high, and the LGD management wanted to place an order more, so they shelved it.
...
SKT.
"Brother, do you really want to leave?" Little Fatty Wolf became depressed after learning about Marin's decision.
"Yeah." Marin pinched Wolf's fat cheeks, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Good luck in the new season, see you in the World Championships."
marin performed very well in this year's World Championship. He received invitations from many teams, among which he liked LGD the most. Even though the other team's offer was not the highest, LGD was well equipped.
There is no doubt about the strength of IMP in the bottom lane. Marin believes that by joining forces with imp, they will definitely have the ability to compete in the world championship.
Even though LGD's results in the S competition were unsatisfactory, Marin believes that if he joins it, he will definitely not be eliminated in the top 16, and will at least enter the top eight.
As for the difference between the top eight, the top four and the runner-up, there is no difference. It just depends on who meets the champion early. If SKT meets CP early, can we say that SKT is only the top eight or the top four?
This is the single-elimination format, where strength and luck go hand in hand.
"I will work hard, and so will you, brother. We can still chat after we go to LPL." Wolf sniffed.
Bang also said: "Brother, you have to work hard when you go to LPL. I hope we can see you again at MSI."
MSI is the mid-season tournament, and only the spring championship teams from each division can participate, so Bang hopes that Marin can win the LPL Spring Championship and SKT can also win the championship, so that they can meet at MSI.
Marin, Wolf and Bang were teammates in 2013. The relationship between the three is like the relationship between Bengi and Faker. After the two teams merged this year, SKT performed at a dominant level.
I thought I could go for the S championship, but who would have thought that I would be defeated by CP at the last minute. Everyone hoped to move forward in the new season and fight back next year, but as a result, Marin was leaving.
After playing with Marin for three years, Wolf and Bang were naturally very reluctant to part with each other.
"My departure will have little impact on SKT. The new top laner Duke is also very strong. You are still one of the strongest teams in the LCK." Marin said seriously while looking at Wolf.
After SKT learned that Marin wanted to leave the team, they approached Duke directly. The other party also wanted to perform well and readily agreed to join SKT.
The recruitment of strong teams is so simple. As long as players are ambitious or want to achieve results, they will definitely choose to join these teams to pursue their dreams. Now what is facing the LCK is not only opponents in the league, but also LPL teams!
There are two reasons for marin to leave SKT. The first is that SKT did not provide him with a satisfactory salary, and the price offered by outside teams was much higher than the price given by SKT. Marin felt that he was not taken seriously, so he chose to leave SKT.
The other one is related to faker. He believes that SKT is faker's team, and the glory he has won will be considered to be dependent on faker, so he wants to leave faker and prove himself.
He is already 25 years old, and he will be 26 in one year. He is definitely an "older" person among professional players in LOL. He still has the energy and ability to pursue his dreams at this time. If it is later, Marin will be afraid that he will not have that ability.
.
Of course, as you get older, you have to be more realistic. There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of the last peak of your career to get a big contract to make money.
Bengi and others sent blessings to Marin one by one. In any case, this year's results were not satisfactory. He was the runner-up in both world championships, but he won the championship in the league.
Watching Marin's leaving figure, Bengi also fell into deep thought.
This is another player who left SKT. At the beginning of the transfer period, there was a player who couldn't wait to leave SKT. He was easyhoon, who was also jokingly called the shadow of faker by netizens.
Marin was sitting on the plane to China, looking at the heavy white clouds outside the window, imagining the scene of playing in the LPL.
He is here to sign a contract with LGD, LGD is here!
...
"Mr. Wang, there is really nothing we can do." At the IG base, Su Xiaoluo cried to Wang Sicong with a bitter look on his face.
"I gave you money to recruit players, but you can't spend a penny?" Wang Sicong was a little anxious.
"Damn it, you don't even know how to spend the money I give you. Do I support you?"
