For netizens who usually pay attention to the game, major forums and even scarves during the transfer period are undoubtedly their holy places to eat.
At the beginning of the transfer period, although the major clubs appeared to be calm on the surface, in fact, there was already a turbulent undercurrent underneath.
In the middle of the transfer period, some teams that clearly intend to fail will directly choose to announce their roster after a lot of effort.
The roster of this type of team will not have many changes compared to last year's "original team". Even if there are, they will all be unfamiliar IDs in the eyes of netizens.
Either they were brought up from the youth training, or they were unearthed from the LDL league.
In short, it is difficult for this kind of team to get the attention of netizens in the circle.
What netizens really pay attention to are the popular and strong teams.
"I don't know who will be the winner of the breath-holding competition during this year's transfer period..."
"I don't care about anything else. I just want to know what you guys at EDG are doing. Why hasn't there been any news about renewing my contract with Brother Shine?"
"Brother Luo's contract expires at the end of this year... It seems that the time has almost expired. Why is there no news at all? Where are the big players in the industry? Is there no one who broke the news?"
"I suggest that brothers should pay more attention to the new blood of LPL. Veterans will eventually grow old. If the new batch of players fail to take over, the consequences will be serious."
"What's so interesting about this new blood? I know all the SDG and IDs. To know how to play really well, you have to practice it. And TOP, are players' IDs so random now? IDs like 369 have come out.
?But someone said that the top lineup is not bad. The mid laner is left-handed. I know this guy. His ranking is too strong. I feel that the domestic mid laner has hope instantly."
"Isn't this left hand the same left hand that was killed by the Great God? The score is indeed very high, but it is still very young..."
"If you can be on several of the top ten accounts in the Korean server, you must be strong, right?"
"If you want to talk about this, then I have to talk to you about Andreas who used to be a VG player."
"To be honest, Rank...it's not as useful as you think. You guys look at Brother Luo. He has always been very stable, hovering around a thousand points."
"Brother Luo can't use common sense to make conclusions."
"By the way, have you noticed that Snake has changed his name? He used to be called Snake, but now he has changed his name to Thorn Bird? What does it mean? Thorn Bird? This team likes to match the names of animals."
"Trivia, the thorn bird is a bird native to South America. I think Snake's team logo after changing its name should be this. But I'm not sure what the meaning is. I don't care. I'll squat down first, and I feel like there's something big going on."
…
Netizens in major forums were discussing one after another, and the IG team was the first to show off its sword.
The IG lineup for the new season remains the same.
The club announced that all players have renewed their contracts.
Although there are no changes in the lineup, no change is the best answer for IG fans.
Last year's world runner-up was still the world runner-up who lost to EDG. This is enough to prove that the IG team's fundamentals are quite strong.
After the fans of the IG team breathed a sigh of relief, the RNG team followed closely.
In the new season, the RNG team introduced AJ and chose to retire.
The rest of the players have not made too many adjustments, but there are some details in this roster that are difficult for RNG fans to accept.
"Where's my incense pot?"
"Naughty, Sima Baixing, where is my fragrant pot? Why is there only one Casa left in the list?"
"Let me tell you, the RNG team Xiangguo is the cornerstone of the team, right? Now you tell me that Xiangguo is not on the roster?"
"Last year, Xiangguo played very few times... To be honest, I had a hunch that Xiangguo might retire."
"It's impossible... I feel like Xiangguo can still play. Will he be transferred..."
RNG fans are obviously very concerned about Xiang Guo.
After all, Xiangguo's unique playing style is really impressive.
However, the club did not immediately provide an explanation. Although fans are still discussing it,... that's all it can do.
It cannot have any impact on the results.
After RNG, FPX also officially announced their roster.
The top laner is 957, the jungler is sofm, the mid laner is doinb, and the bottom lane duo is hope and Xiao Duan.
This lineup has sparked quite a bit of discussion.
There is no need to say more about 957. His performance in the S7 season was seen by everyone.
In the S8 season, 957 was quite satisfactory. Although he didn't have any outstanding performances, he rarely got sick. He was considered one of the most stable top laners.
Sofm is more controversial.
To quote Teacher Ma, this person has a bit of a look on his face.
When I am fierce, I feel that this person is a bug and his upper limit is extremely high.
But when you give it away, you have no idea what it is doing, and there is even a strong smell of bronze and silver.
The existence of doinb has attracted enough attention to this new FPX.
As a frequent regular season MVP, it is no secret that doinb has its own system.
Although the RW team did not enter the World Championship last year, RW was considered a team in the middle and upper reaches of the LPL division throughout the year. There is no doubt about this.
Many viewers are also sincerely looking forward to whether FPX will change some of sofm's problems due to the emergence of doinb, and allow this team to have some chemical reactions.
The announcement of the bot lane roster has made many EDG fans feel relieved.
From the perspective of EDG fans, if hope, EDG's substitute AD, is gone, then EDG's starting AD must be stable!
However, what EDG fans didn't know was that at this time, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was sitting in the training room of the EDG club, looking at the screen in confusion.
lwx's brain is a little mushy at this time.
When he set off from the FPX club, he saw the logo on the business car.
At that time, both he and Liu Qingsong looked confused.
When they arrived downstairs at the EDG Club, the first reaction of the two people who came back to their senses was disbelief.
EDG...there are meiko and shine!
Lin Weixiang didn't think of it, but Liu Qingsong realized something immediately.
There may be a problem with Shine and Meiko's contract renewal.
EDG wants them to come to the rescue!
After hearing the news, Liu Qingsong felt a sudden increase in pressure and also had some expectations.
EDG, what a strong team!
The top, middle and jungle configurations are there.
There is no doubt that this will be the best place in his career so far.
Liu Qingsong had previously wondered what the club was doing with him in such a mysterious manner, and even told him that the new club would definitely make him unable to refuse.
At this moment Liu Qingsong understood that there was really no way to refuse.
However, just when Liu Qingsong's thoughts were racing, the commercial vehicle that arrived at the EDG club directly dropped Lin Weixiang, who was looking confused, and continued walking with Liu Qingsong.
If it weren't for the manager of EDG sitting in the car, Liu Qingsong even felt that he was about to be dragged away.
At this time, Liu Qingsong had no choice but to ask.
Liu Qingsong is still very concerned about his career future.
He had also communicated with the club before and laid out all his conditions.
The owner of the club did not refute his conditions at all and directly agreed, saying that the team he had transferred to would definitely satisfy him.
But now it seems...it doesn’t seem to be EDG!
"Where are we going?"
As soon as Liu Qingsong asked this question, he subconsciously associated it with a certain hero's lines.
"Go to the Thorn Birds Club."
Li Zhe smiled and said.
"Thorn Bird? Snake?"
Liu Qingsong was a little surprised.
As a long-established club, the Snakes suddenly changed its name and still had a certain amount of popularity during the transfer period.
It's just that the popularity of other teams is so high that the Snakes team's popularity has not caused any waves in the circle. Especially after the Snakes team chose to sell all the players except Shengqiang, many netizens have
It was once thought that after receiving new capital this year, the Snakes might be planning to fail this year.
This club is very mysterious during the transfer period. Even professional players like Liu Qingsong didn't get any news when chatting with other players in the circle.
Liu Qingsong immediately frowned, but before he could say anything more, Li Zhe blocked his mouth with a sentence: "If you feel dissatisfied later, you can come back to EDG. The salary and price negotiated before will not be charged."
It will change.”
"ah?"
Even with Liu Qingsong's IQ, his brain is in a short-circuit state right now.
There wasn't much room left for him to think.
The distance between the two clubs EDG and Snake is very short.
Not long after, the car arrived.
At this time, Snake...oh, it should be called Thorn Bird, and the outside of the base has been completely renovated.
The elements belonging to the thorn bird are particularly beautiful in front of the building.
And when Liu Qingsong got out of the car and looked at the club in front of him, he unexpectedly found someone waiting next to him.
It's Zuo Wu, the former manager of Snake Club.
"coming."
Zuo Wu smiled and said hello to Li Zhe.
"I've delivered the person, but I can't leave right now. If you're not satisfied, I'll take him back. Why don't you take him for a visit first?"
Li Zhe spread his hands and said.
Zuo Wu looked at his watch: "Xiye should be arriving soon, shall we go in together later?"
"also."
Liu Qingsong was still confused at the moment, but he didn't say much. He knew Xiye very well, but Liu Qingsong didn't have a particularly good opinion of Xiye. From the perspective of a professional player, Liu Qingsong I think Xiye has some strength, but is very unstable.
The spring game of 2018 was like nothing else, but my brother-in-law's condition deteriorated.
During the summer games, my brother-in-law returned to his best form, but Xiye fell into disrepair again.
The two took turns to play each other, which made last year's WE team's performance barely in the middle and above.
…
After a while.
A car stopped at the entrance of the base.
Xiye got out of the car, and the dazzling sunlight made him subconsciously put his hand on his forehead to block it.
During this transfer period, Xiye's emotions were very complicated.
The club asked Xiye to renew the contract, but Xiye rejected it.
The reason was that one night when Xiye returned to his dormitory after training, he found that he had forgotten to take the data cable of his mobile phone. When he returned to the training room, he heard his coach talking on the phone.
WE is a rather nostalgic club.
Xiye roughly understood the meaning of WE from a few words.
WE feels that his condition is not stable and plans to introduce new players.
But I didn't want to give up just yet, so after much hesitation I decided to renew the contract with him first and then observe him for half a year.
At this moment, the Thorn Bird sent an invitation.
After two days of vacillation, Xiye chose to reject WE and join the Thorn Birds.
One is to change the environment for yourself.
Secondly... Xiye found that she seemed to have entered a bottleneck period. If she continued to stay in WE, she might even decline.
It's better to find another club, the salary is about the same anyway.
Well, at this time, Xiye really didn't want to harm his old club.
"Okay, everyone is here."
Zuo Wu showed a smile and led the two of them into the base.
Xiye and Liu Qingsong soon saw the other two teammates.
Brother Holy Spear, they all know it.
Brother Shengqiang's strength among domestic top laners is still worthy of recognition, but Snake's team does have too many unstable factors, and the configuration of players has always been very average. It seems that the strength is balanced, but there are always shortcomings, so this Snake's record in the past two years has been mediocre.
What really surprised Liu Qingsong was the fragrant pot.
It was also the existence of mlxg that instantly raised the expectation in Liu Qingsong's heart from the lowest point to the highest point.
As a professional player who has been playing for several years, the smart Liu Qingsong is very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses.
His strengths are very clear. What keeps Liu Qingsong extremely confident is his ability to start a team and seize opportunities.
This seems to overlap with IG’s sapphire blue.
What I am a little less confident about is my support ability.
Previously in FPX, Liu Qingsong would feel like he was unable to do enough to provide support every time. The feeling that his teammates had no way to give him feedback made Liu Qingsong extremely uncomfortable.
It seems that the most important thing about the auxiliary position is the cooperation with AD.
But in Liu Qingsong's view, the jungler position must be the one who can truly demonstrate his support ability to drive the overall situation.
If a jungler only wants to farm, no matter how much he supports, he will not be able to form a linkage with the jungler.
However... the fragrant pot!
That’s an incense pot!
brush?
nonexistent.
And what type of jungler is Xiangguo?
Hunger strike?
Or something else?
In Liu Qingsong's opinion, neither.
In his eyes, the incense pot is a dough-making machine.
A team-starting machine that is not afraid of death!
This is also a fatal temptation for an auxiliary player who is very capable of seizing opportunities to start a team.
If the team relies too much on his team initiating, Liu Qingsong will feel a lot of pressure.
The fault tolerance rate for group starts will also be relatively low.
But if Xiang Guo is there, Liu Qingsong's room for performance will be too great.
The two of them can completely complement each other. If the fragrant pot is not opened well, Liu Qingsong can follow up. If Liu Qingsong fails to open the fragrant pot first, the fragrant pot can also make up for it immediately.
Regardless of whether the team can win or not, at least it will not be unable to start.
Plus the more comprehensive Holy Spear Brother.
This team has fun.
Following Liu Qingsong, he saw another figure in the training room.
Liu Qingsong also knew this person.
mole.
He was the previous mid laner of the BLG team.
He has some strength, although he is not particularly outstanding, but at least he is not bad among the domestic mid laners.
In other words, the Thorn Birds have two mid laners...
Suddenly, Liu Qingsong seemed to have thought of something.
What about ad?
From the perspective of a professional player, there is nothing wrong with the engine of the Thorn Birds tank. Brother Holy Spear does not need to worry about its laning ability. The unstable line in the middle will not help when facing at least half of the mid laners.
He will be at a disadvantage, but he can still kill top players when he occasionally explodes, which is enough.
The important link they are missing now is stability.
A being who can provide the team with protection and at the same time be strong in the lane.
"Who are we...adc?"
Liu Qingsong looked at the incense pot.
"I don't know yet."
Xiangguo shook his head, then seemed to think of something, and said curiously: "Didn't you fight with Lin Weixiang for many years? Now that you are here, isn't it him?"
"No, he stays in EDG..."
When Liu Qingsong said it subconsciously, he suddenly froze.
Yes, Lin Weixiang got off at EDG.
At that time, there was actually only one transfer condition that Lin Weixiang talked about.
That means he wants to play a starting position in the team he goes to.
Go to EDG to start? Compete with Shine for the starting spot?
It's not that Liu Qingsong looks down on his old partner.
If Lin Weixiang talked about this matter with him, he would tell Lin Weixiang without hesitation that you are not worthy.
unless……
shine, no longer in EDG.
But if Shine is no longer in EDG, where will he... be?
Suddenly, Liu Qingsong felt his heartbeat speed up a little.
At this moment, a voice sounded from the door of the training room.
"Everyone is here."
Everyone looked around, and then their pupils began to dilate.
The smile on Brother Shengqiang's face froze.
Xiangguo was a little confused.
Mole, that is, Xiao Dongbei looks silly, just like what he said in the interview, "a little confused."
Xiye looked dull.
Liu Qingsong appeared calm on the surface, but he was turbulent in his heart.
The young man was leaning against the door of the training room with his luggage. He looked dusty. When he saw everyone looking at him, Li Luo grinned, showing his white teeth: "I was delayed by something at home, so I came here to meet you now. Really.
Are you sorry, but I will be the host for everyone to get together tonight?"
"After all...in the new year, we will fight side by side under the same roof."
As Li Luo finished speaking, the training room fell into a brief silence.
"Fuck...fuck?"
Xiang Guo was the first to come to his senses.
He suddenly accelerated and pounced towards Li Luo as if Olaf was driving at full speed.
"Isn't this... isn't this Mr. Luo? Does my little Li Xuanjun have a chance to be teammates with Mr. Luo?!"
Brother Holy Spear came to his senses and shouted exaggeratedly.
At this moment, the piece of the thorn bird puzzle is complete.
On the wall next to the training room, there is a painting hanging.
A picture of a thorn bird.
For the thorn bird, it keeps looking for thorn trees when it leaves its nest.
When it finally gets what it wants, it will plunge its delicate body into the longest and sharpest thorn, sing loudly, and die.
Just like the all-China class that has never won a championship.
At this moment, several young men chose a path full of thorns.
They may create history and become the last song, or they may be stabbed all over and broken into pieces.
But this is the mission in the hearts of the purest professional players.
