"Very serious. Brother Hongmi originally had a one-year contract, but now he has signed a contract with JDG. We are short of coaches, Factory."
"Shit, UR doesn't have the money to renew the contract with Redmi?"
"Brother Hongmi said that he was not used to eating Korean food, and he promised the boss of JDG to give priority to JDG."
Xu Ruoguang smiled and said.
It was not surprising that Redmi was leaving. Not to mention the salary, JDG also showed a lot of sincerity at that time.
Moreover, by winning the championship at UR, Hongmi has fulfilled its dream.
Natural selection is diverse.
And there is a reason why it is more difficult to stretch.
Hongmi is no longer used to Korean food and misses LPL...'s hot pot.
My stomach has become the shape of China. [Sad]
"...Just wait for me to think about it."
Mingkai hung up the phone, touched his chin, and looked at Abu next to him.
"What do you say?"
"What are you saying? I'm not Ming Kai, you are."
Abu just spread his hands like a little bear.
"The Korean team? Alas..."
Ming Kai muttered a few words, his expression a bit complicated.
If it were an LPL team, Xiaoguang would ask him to go wherever he goes now without hesitation.
But it’s an LCK team.
The team Mingkai debuted in was WE.
This is a fact that cannot be changed even if the situation is broken.
At that time, WE, like the few LPL teams of the same era, had only one purpose.
Kill the Korean team!
The LPL players who debuted in that era were the ones who were most aware of the power of the LCK and also had the strongest hostility towards the LCK.
Although Mingkai only wanted to win, he was still somewhat hesitant.
In order to win, he can give up any unnecessary reputation.
How could he have imagined that he would be scolded by 60E when the fight was over?
But he did it anyway, left WE in an unseemly way, and created EDG with Abramovich.
However, this is the Korean team.
Mingkai is not like Uzi. Uzi really has no choice. RNG's contract determines his choice. When he knows that he is going to LCK, he has no choice. RNG has already sold.
Don’t want to go? Pay the liquidated damages.
Mingkai has no such concerns. EDG now has no player contract with him and is close to semi-retirement.
Naturally, there is no need to talk about constraints.
So he was indeed a little confused.
As the transfer period reached the second half, UR did not hold their breath like the LPL team, and happily announced that Xu Ruoguang's contract still has one year left, and there is no need to enter the transfer period.
At the same time, it was also announced that Nakano Hsu Soo and Kim Takeshiki have renewed their contracts.
UR's iron triangle of middle, upper and jungle remains unbreakable.
However, there has been no movement from UR on the bottom lane.
One can't help but wonder, is it possible that the bot lane team is about to run away?
"What's going on? Ghost doesn't renew the contract?"
"Where's Beryl? Beryl is gone too?"
"I can understand that Uzi is gone, but ghost is not renewing his contract?"
Faced with the heated discussions, UR was silent at all, which made many UR fans feel a little flustered.
In fact, Beryl and Ghost really can't be kept.
In the S8 World Championship, UR's Nosuke was impressive, and Beryl also showed his commanding ability many times. He is the hot spot that many clubs are competing for during this transfer period.
The value of players who support this position is very strange.
In the middle and lower reaches of the team, the value of support is very low, almost the lowest among the five positions.
Generally, the salary curve is like mid laner>AD>top laner>jungle>assistant.
However, in the top teams, the support value is higher than that of the jungler, almost the same as the ADC.
And command ability is the most important ability for assistants.
It’s okay if the auxiliary’s laning is not strong, and it’s okay if the operation is not excellent.
However, the auxiliary command ability and on-the-spot judgment ability must not be low.
Beryl is undoubtedly the most dazzling support right now, and can almost be said to be the number one support in the LCK right now.
The competition surrounding him has naturally become intense.
It’s not that ROG didn’t want to keep Beryl, but when ROG staff went to talk to Beryl, Beryl made it very clear.
"too tired."
The year at UR was a painful and happy time for Beryl.
I am happy, of course, because I won the championship and achieved great results.
It hurts because training is so tiring.
This is also a feature of UR.
There's nothing I can do about it, this year's UR is just too damn complicated.
Needless to say, top laner Xu Ruoguang starts with a ranking of less than 4,000 hands every year. He is the ruthless character who is always ranked first in the Korean server. His second place is guaranteed to be 200 points.
Jungler Canyon is also a hard-working genius. He also trains until late at night every day. He is a qualified motorcycle warrior who has seen Seoul at four in the morning.
Mid laner Xu Xiu, the iron-blooded Korean Warrior, is obsessed with winning the championship, and he is also very crazy in training.
AD,ghost.
This person is even more of a heavyweight. After his enlightenment, he has been training a lot, for fear that one day he will regress.
Because I was silver once, I never want to go back to the past.
This is why ghost works hard.
What about the other AD?
Uzi!
A person who would risk his life in training.
Beryl is really convinced by this group of people.
This year, I was often threatened by my teammates for extra training, which made Beryl very uncomfortable.
He is a relatively Buddhist player, and his view on this aspect has always been to complete his duties seriously, but additional training?
Forget it.
Xu Ruoguang didn't have any problem with Beryl's resistance to staying.
He has always believed in a saying: Don't impose your own wishes and requirements on others.
Every player is a different living person. It is impossible to say that everyone can be like a robot, catching and beating him every day.
Beryl felt tired, and Xu Ruoguang felt it was really normal.
So ROG is also now looking for how to find a good home for Beryl.
Moreover, they are short of support.
And ghost also became a little hesitant because of KT's invitation.
KT wanted to use deft and increased the price to buy ghost.
Ghost is also very satisfied with the treatment given to him by KT.
Time has come to the last few days of the transfer period.
LCK transfers have become more frequent.
With EDG's decision, Beryl's contract was also perfectly resolved.
"Hope it's a good choice."
The UR staff stood up with a smile.
"We hope so too."
Abu smiled from ear to ear.
The next day, EDG took the lead in issuing two announcements.
"Thanks, Meiko."
"After a long period of communication with the players, we chose to respect the players' personal wishes and thank player Meiko for his contribution to EDG. We have come a long way, and looking back, we have learned a lot."
"Welcome, Beryl."
"Welcome player Beryl to join EDG. In last year's S8 World Championship, player Beryl performed well and was an indispensable member of the championship team UR. We believe he can still produce outstanding results in EDG!"
At almost the same time, the UR team issued an announcement.
"Thanks, Beryl."
"Thank you Beryl for your contribution to UR last year. After communicating with the players, UR chose to respect the players' personal wishes. Thank you Beryl. I hope he can also shine in EDG in the future. We look forward to meeting us at the top."
"Welcome, Meiko."
"Welcome player Meiko to join UR! Player Meiko has outstanding personal abilities and excellent professional attitude. He is a very strong support player. We also believe that player Meiko can be very well trained and improved at UR and become our cornerstone!"
These pieces of news directly shocked the whole world.
EDG and UR conducted an auxiliary exchange!
So much so that the fact that Mingkai joined UR as an assistant coach didn't seem that important anymore.
"Meiko? Can he compare to Beryl?"
"No, can UR do this transaction? Isn't this a blood loss?"
"Stop talking. Beryl already said it in today's interview. The reason why he doesn't stay at UR is because he is under too much pressure."
"But is it really possible for Meiko..."
Almost everyone on the Internet feels that UR’s exchange is a loss.
But the fact is that EDG has options, but UR has no options.
The real profit from this transaction is UR.
Because almost no one is willing to sell other top-level and above supports.
After Beryl left, UR's support position became a problem.
From UR's point of view, even if Beryl is exchanged, it must be exchanged to a team that is helpful for the growth of the players.
Based on this principle, it is understandable that UR chose EDG, the most militarized management team in the LPL.
It happened that during this period, I had been discussing Mingkai's transfer with EDG, so UR and EDG hit it off and packaged Mingkai and Meiko to UR.
UR found a home for Beryl that they were very satisfied with.
This is a win-win deal.
And then, as the transfer period came to the last day, the final transfer between EDG and UR was shocking.
By the time EDG announced the signing of Beryl, they had already announced the contracts of one player after another.
Mid laner Scout still renews his contract.
On the last day of the transfer period, the contracts of other EDG players were finalized.
So, based on the officially announced lineup, what kind of lineup is EDG?
For the top laner, I bought top laner Flandreau and Holy Spear Brother from the renamed LNG.
In the jungle, the new generation of prince Jiejie has officially taken over.
Mid laner, scout has chosen to renew his contract.
Support, Beryl, S8 champion support, exchanged from Meiko.
The last AD is the ADC, jackeylove, and Ah Shui bought from IG!
The S9EDG lineup is as follows:
Coach: Ji Xing [Abu]
Assistant coach: mafa [resigned from IG after S8]
Top order: EDG.Flandre [Li Xuanjun]
Jungler: EDG.Jiejie [Zhao Lijie]
Mid laner: EDG.Scout [Li Rucan]
ADC:EDG.Jackeylove【Yu Wenbo】
Assist:EDG.Beryl[Zhao Qianxi]
Pure galactic battleship.
Ed Zhu really spent a lot of money and popped the rice hard.
In the LCK, UR's final transfer also shocked everyone's attention.
They didn't expect that UR would find such a bottom lane team.
So much so that even when kkoma returned to UR as the head coach, it seemed like that was all.
The S9UR roster is as follows:
Head coach:kkoma【Kim Jung-kyun】
Assistant coach: Clearlove [Ming Kai]
Top order: UR.Emporer [Xu Ruoguang]
Jungler: UR.Canyon [Kim Kenshiki]
Mid laner: UR.Showmaker [Xu Xiu]
ADC:UR.Viper【Park Tohyun】
Assist: UR.Meiko [Field]
ADC:UR.Deft【Kim Hyukkyu】
If buying Viper can be said to be an investment in the future, it seems illogical for UR to buy Deft as a substitute.
Although Deft performed well in the league in S8, it was obviously beyond its capabilities in the World Championship and could not perform at all.
Even if Deft fans are more numerous among LCK fans, how can they possibly outnumber UR’s current fans?
Most people feel that it is a very stupid thing to choose to trade AD with KT instead of pursuing Ghost to stay.
"How old is Deft?"
"Yes, S8 is obviously on the verge of death, why should it be exchanged with KT?"
"This is definitely a losing deal!"
"UR is so stupid!"
Actually, it's really not.
For UR, viper's current capabilities are not enough for them to trust.
When I bought Deft, I had this plan in mind:
Even after the deft summer split, such a long time is enough for viper to fully integrate into UR's system.
This was also suggested by Xu Ruoguang.
The old leads the new, which can speed up the growth of new people like crazy.
Moreover, Xu Ruoguang carefully analyzed deft's games for a long time and found that he was not completely incapable of playing.
As the saying goes, Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?
The audience thinks it can't be done.
But Xu Ruoguang felt that he could try it.
Here I must mention Uzi.
Uzi had originally planned to retire after S8, but before he could announce it, RNG took action directly.
Beyond the fear of death!
Uzi, come back!
While other teams are still studying the World Championship, RNG has already begun studying the court.
I've played BO5 in a year and haven't had many lawsuits with anyone.
A smart group of RNG directly made a regretful counterattack against the contract with ROG at the beginning of the S8 season.
They pointed out that the asset swap only includes Uzi’s competition contract, and does not include agency and live broadcast contracts.
Therefore, UR is required to pay Uzi’s operating income for this year.
If not, UR has breached the contract, and RNG has the right to recall Uzi directly.
The boss of ROG was speechless. Damn it, wasn’t this thing requested by you at that time?
Uzi's response was even more amazing.
After hearing this, I sneered directly, and my backhand was a retirement.
Within two days after retiring, he immediately announced his comeback.
Joined IG directly!
The boss of RNG is so angry.
Unfortunately, Brother Jing still has the power of his father, so RNG doesn't dare to say anything. At most, it can condemn him.
But what's the use?
When Uzi joined IG, Baolan was undoubtedly KTVed.
Originally, IG was still hesitating whether to keep Baolan, but as soon as Uzi came to IG, he was immediately knocked unconscious by Baolan.
This time IG didn’t hesitate at all.
Goodbye!
Backhand, he bought Missing, WE's new talented support.
This is roughly the case with the personnel changes at UR.
On December 22, deft was the first to arrive at the UR base.
"U...R?"
Standing in front of the door, the young man with a somewhat indifferent expression looked at the UR sign in front of him, hesitated for a moment, exhaled, and walked in.
Last year was undoubtedly a very frustrating year for deft.
From the Spring Split to the Summer Split to the World Championship, deft has gained nothing.
And the most important thing is that because of his declining condition, KT chose to sell himself.
Even... use yourself as a bargaining chip in exchange for ghost.
This is really a big blow to the arrogant deft.
But in this case, UR respected him very much and only agreed to the exchange after carefully asking his opinion.
Although it is just a small order, it shows respect for him.
This made deft sigh and feel a little surprised.
The sigh is naturally because KT doesn't care about him, but UR takes him very seriously.
Surprised, also because of this.
He knows very well that he has indeed begun to decline.
He doesn't understand why UR values him so much.
"Now that we're here..."
His eyes became serious.
"Seize this last chance, Hekui."
He whispered to himself.
"This is my last dance."
Step forward, move forward, and open the door.
"Hello everyone, I am deft, Kim Hyuk Kyu!"
On December 24th, Mingkai and Meiko also came.
"Is this UR?"
Wearing a mask, Tian Ye raised his head with some longing and looked at the magnificent UR Club in front of him.
Beside him, Ming Kai chuckled.
"What? You're not confident anymore?"
"well enough."
Tian Ye smiled. Although Beryl is a champion assistant, Tian Tian has always been very confident in himself.
Moreover, in his opinion, UR's upper midfielder is the best in the world.
With such a top midfielder, Tanano is confident that he can perform well.
"Someone is coming."
Mingkai was about to say something when he saw the door of the UR Club opened.
A handsome young man who made Tian Tian's eyes shine, wearing a UR team uniform and a friendly smile, walked out.
Without any hesitation, he quickly walked up to Ming Kai and gave him a hug.
"Brother, I'm really happy that you can come."
He smiled and patted Ming Kai on the back, released his hand, and smiled brightly.
Turning around to see Ye Ye, who was still in a daze, Xu Ruoguang took what was in Ye Ye's hand without any explanation and patted Ye Ye on the shoulder.
"Tianye, I'm very happy to have you here."
The person who came down to greet them was none other than Xu Ruoguang.
"How was the journey?"
He led the two of them into the base and chatted with them.
"If anything goes wrong, your UR staff have done a great job. There is no problem at all. Have a safe journey."
Ming Kai stretched his waist and said with a smile.
"Xiaoguang, I promised to lead my brother to win the championship this year, so you have to work hard."
Xu Ruoguang smiled, knowing that Ming Kai was making fun of the invitation he had sent before.
"Don't worry, the manufacturer will give you a whole handful of top laners when the time comes. For the S9 skin, choose the widow."
Ming Kai was stunned, shook his head and smiled.
"Does this mean the S9 champion is already scheduled?"
"necessary."
"Brother Guang, is deft really here?"
Tian Tian was impatient and asked nervously.
The time when he was partnering with deft was his happiest time.
He was willing to come to UR this time because he heard that deft came to UR.
"Well, he has arrived. You should be able to see him soon."
Xu Ruoguang smiled and nodded.
"Okay, can I join his training position later?"
Tian Tian opened his mouth expectantly.
He likes deft's character very much, and the two of them are very good friends.
"Okay, I originally put you and two ADCs together. You are in the middle, with deft on the left and viper on the right."
Xu Ruoguang naturally had no reason to refuse such a request and said with a smile.
The bot lane group does generally stay together.
"Um."
Several people walked into the training room, and Tian Ye locked his eyes on the player in the same direction almost at a glance.
Deft slowly turned his head and saw the fields,
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
The two looked at each other briefly, smiled at each other, and didn't need to say anything.
You are here too.
On December 27th, the last viper came to the UR base.
Along the way, viper deeply felt the thoughtful arrangements of UR.
Starting from the morning, the people arranged by UR helped Viper pack up all his things, arranged them properly, and took him all the way to the UR base.
Looking at the UR club logo in front of him, VIPer's expression became determined.
"Is this the club I'm going to play for?"
For viper, S8 is not too satisfactory.
Although GRF can still be called a dark horse in the league, it is nothing more than that.
Not only could they not win the LCK league championship in the end, but they also didn’t even have a chance to go to the World Championship.
For Viper, this is undoubtedly a very shocking thing.
He doesn't have much affection for Griffin either. After Griffin sold him, he didn't have much idea.
However, UR...
As an opponent viper, I know very well how strong UR's midfield and upper jungle are.
So at this time, he also had some longing in his eyes.
"call……"
He exhaled a breath and walked more steadily.
But just when the viper, who was wearing a mask and hat, was about to enter the club, suddenly he felt something fall on his head.
Bang, a pack of tissues fell in front of him.
Viper:??
He picked up the tissue in confusion, but heard a clear boy's voice coming from above, saying something he couldn't understand.
"Sorry, sorry, could you please bring me up?"
Tian Ye opened the window at this time and said apologetically.
The moment Viper raised his head, Tian Ye breathed a sigh of relief and recognized his identity.
Suddenly, he laughed.
"Is it a viper? Can yon please give me this?"
He used his half-baked English and pointed to the tissue in Viper's hand with a smile.
Although he learned some Korean, it was limited to daily communication.
Perhaps because it was noon at this time, Meiko's smile was submerged in the bright sunshine, which made Viper unable to recover for a while.
Looking at the viper who was staring blankly at him, Ye Tian was overjoyed.
"Where does this idiot come from?"
This scene is similar to the first encounter between Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin".
Absolutely.
After finally communicating for a while, viper finally understood what meiko meant, nodded with a smile, and walked into the UR club.
Tian Ye turned around and said, "deft, the last teammate seems to be here. Do you want to pick him up? He seems to be quite nice."
"Viper?"
Deft was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said softly.
"No, I'm not very familiar with him. You can go with Brother Emporer."
Deft always speaks in a soft voice, and he is the kind of player who gives people a soft feeling. He is not too aggressive, which is very different from his aggressive style of play on the court.
But precisely because of this, deft has a very good relationship with many players, and is ranked second among the seniors that many junior players want to get close to.
As for the first...
Is there any need to say that?
Xu Ruoguang sneezed and said, "Okay, I'll go down to the field with you."
The two met Viper at the stairs.
Viper handed Tian Tian a tissue and said.
"Don't be so reckless in the future, you may hit others easily."
Xu Ruoguang directly acted as the translator.
Viper gave him a grateful look.
Tian Tian nodded seriously.
"Well, I understand, I'm sorry viper player."
Viper smiled honestly, his original cold-faced cool guy image gone forever.
"It's okay, we will be teammates from now on."
"Hello, I am ADCarry, Viper, the new member of UR."
Tian Ye looked at his outstretched hand and smiled.
"Hello, I am UR's newbie SUP, Meiko."
Xu Ruoguang standing aside:...
Why do you feel like my buddy has become a light bulb?
