Chapter 130 Zoom official link, EDG’s first battle
Mouse? Ask yourself what is this for?
Yezi's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what Abu meant - he wanted to take advantage of the transfer period to strengthen his team!
Yates was not surprised by Abu's decision.
Mouse has always been recognized as a shortcoming of EDG, and this is indeed the case.
As a player who switches from support to top laner, mouse's laning ability is relatively average.
It's okay to play some gangster top laners, but once you encounter a top laner with strong suppression, the line will split.
And mouse is not a particularly talented player. Even if he has been specially trained by Yezi, his abilities in all aspects are far inferior to the top top laners.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with reinforcing the top lane.
However... faced with Abu's question, Yezi just smiled and said nothing.
Just kidding, everyone gets along well with each other. It's impossible to say that mouse is too bad and should be replaced quickly. That's not a backstabbing of teammates.
"My mine."
Abu also realized that he was a little anxious, and said with a smile: "I didn't test it. In fact, the superiors have already decided to introduce another top laner and mouse for rotation, and the candidate has been found long ago..."
"Then you are still looking for me?" Ye Zi was a little surprised. He had already chosen someone, so why were you looking for him?
"The main thing is that I want you to help me keep an eye on the new top laner, test him the same way you tested mouse, and then evaluate the strength of the two of them..."
Following Abu's explanation, Yezi also understood what he meant.
To put it simply, the coaching staff was not sure about the level of the new top laner and asked him to help test it.
"No problem." He responded, and then Yezi asked curiously: "Manager, could you please tell me who the new top orderer is?"
"There's nothing I can't tell you. I'll tell you his ID so you can check to see if you've been in line with him."
Immediately afterwards, Abu said an ID: "His ID is Audi."
"puff!"
As soon as he heard the ID Audi, Yezi couldn't help but sprayed it directly.
He was so impressed by this ID that he and the factory director were known as Audi Double Diamonds, partners of the factory, which meant that their escape skills were no worse than those of the factory director.
Moreover, this person, like the factory director, doesn't like to actively start a team. Even if he gets a hero like the prince, he still likes OB to enter the game.
Audi's style is mainly aggressive, and the top laners he is good at are also offensive top laners.
However, facing the veteran top laners in the world, Audi is far behind in terms of experience, talent, and operation.
Therefore, Audi in the World Championship was almost beaten by single players on every road, and its performance was not as good as mouse. If EDG introduces Audi...
Seeing Yezi's reaction, Abu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "What, do you know him?"
"No, no, no." Yezi shook his head: "Ask him to come over and I'll give him a try."
Yates has decided that if he wants to exert his 100% ability, he must not let Audi enter the first team.
Although this is a bit unfair to Audi, there is no way, e-sports, strength speaks for itself, Audi is not strong enough to become a first-team top laner.
Even if he is forced to come up, he will still be scolded by the audience.
"I'm all here to help you."
While sighing, Abu had already brought Audi in.
Slightly fat and a little reserved, but his eyes are very confident, as if a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
"This is Ye Zi, he is in charge of the assessment today, this is Audi..."
Abu introduced the two to each other.
"Z God?!"
As soon as Abu finished speaking, Audi's eyes suddenly lit up and he stepped forward and said, "Your AD is so awesome. I've been watching your highlights these days. I really... I'm still your fan."
"Hello, hello."
Seeing Audi's enthusiasm, Yezi was a little at a loss.
Fortunately, Abu came to the rescue in time, coughed slightly and said: "The time is limited, let's hurry up and take the assessment."
After speaking, Abu led the two people to the assessment location. There was no one around, so Abu directly signaled the two of them to go solo.
"Am I fighting God Z?" Audi's heart skipped a beat.
Abu nodded: "If you can beat him, you can join the first team directly."
"I'll try." Audi took a deep breath and looked nervous, but Yezi could see that this man was quite confident in himself.
"Young."
Solo begins.
The first game was directly between Kalista and Sword Lady.
With Yezi's current strength, even if he plays casually, it is impossible to lose to a new top laner in a duel.
At the end of Solo, Audi even had zero CS.
"This..." Abu frowned. Originally, he was quite optimistic about Audi, but Audi's performance really disappointed him.
Audi himself was stunned and broke out in sweat.
"I...can I play one more round?"
Before Abu could speak, Yezi smiled and said, "Okay."
A few minutes later, Audi lost again.
"I still want to try."
"Open it."
…
One after another, the two played solo for ten games. Audi did not win a single game, and the result was quite touching.
On the side, Abu looked a little unbearable, thinking that Ye Zi's methods were a little cruel today.
In the end, Audi didn't even know how he got out of the door, and his head was hit by the door.
"Sigh." Looking at Audi's leaving figure, Abu couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's so difficult to find a good top laner now."
Yates expressed understanding.
Before Theshy appeared, there were almost no outstanding top laners in the LPL.
If Theshy is not born in nature, LPL top laner will be like a long night forever.
Theshy's emergence has single-handedly changed the entire LPL top lane play style and ecology.
After that, the number of talents in the top lane position in LPL gradually increased. As for now...
Letme, Holy Spear Brother, Duke, 957, Jianxian... these people are already relatively strong LPL top laners.
Moreover, they are all not for sale for their respective teams, with a price but no market.
Wait! Sword Fairy!
Yezi's eyes lit up. Jianxian was LGD's top orderer and was in rotation. This showed that LGD didn't pay much attention to Jianxian. EDG should be able to buy it with a slight increase in price.
"Jianxian's strength is not bad, I have considered it, but he is from KR, so the communication problem will not be solved for a while. The World Championship is only about half a year away, and running in with the team is a big problem.
Moreover, the outside world originally said that we are a KR team, so it would not be good to find a KR top laner."
The two discussed it for a while, but to no avail.
Finally, Yezi joked: "If it doesn't work out, just go to LDL and look for it. Maybe you can find gold."
"Yeah." Abu nodded, but he didn't hold out much hope.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Ye Zi, I have another good news to tell you."
"What?"
Ye Zi was stunned.
The next moment, I saw Abramovich taking out a contract.
Abu: "With the approval of the boss, your initial contract has been changed. The signing fee has been changed to three million, and the other conditions remain unchanged."
Damn it!
Yezi was a little surprised. If it was like what Abramovich said, wouldn't the club just give him two million for free?
Is it a trap by the capitalists?
Skeptical, Yates read the contract carefully.
No problem!
Compared with the previous contract, except for the signing fee, not a word has been changed.
However, Yates did not let money go to his head. Instead, he asked jokingly: "The club has changed to charity?"
"..."
The corner of Abu's mouth twitched: "Charity, you ghost, let me make it clear, you have this value to EDG now, even more than three million...
However, everything depends on the S game.
If you have a good result in the S competition, even if it is only the semi-finals, your worth will skyrocket, and it is not impossible to reach tens of millions."
"That's it." Yezi thought for a moment and then signed the contract.
Naturally, you can’t refuse to give money for free, but you must also consider why the other person gives you money.
He has always believed that there is no free lunch in the world, so he asked more.
After Abu finished talking about the matter, he let Yezi go.
…
Time passes.
Seeing that the transfer period was about to end, Abramovich also followed Yezi's advice and went to the secondary leagues to find gold.
Not to mention, he actually found a few relatively strong top laners.
Finally, after some screening by Abu, a fat man named Meimengxing stood out.
On the last day of the transfer period, EDG officially announced two pieces of news.
1. Meimengxing - now renamed as zoom player, joins the EDG family.
Second, player clearlove disconnected and player clearlove7 entered the arena.
As soon as the news came out, the outside world was in an uproar.
The news about Zoom didn’t cause much trouble, but the title of Clearlove’s disconnected link caught the audience’s attention.
Many viewers who wanted to find out the truth clicked on EDG's official Weibo.
After discovering that the director just changed his name, the audience was relieved, but they couldn't help but complain about the headline-grabbing behavior of EDG's official blog.
Immediately afterwards, they also began to pay attention to the factory director's new ID - clearlove7.
"It is recommended to change it to Severn 7."
"Does the factory director want to start a new life?"
"Others have cut off their Zhi, but the factory director changed his name to Ming Zhi."
Outside, the discussion was extremely intense. After originally winning the MSI championship, EDG became extremely popular.
Now, with Abramovich's repeated operations, EDG has a faint tendency to return to the top.
Within the EDG team.
When Yezi saw Zoom, he couldn't help but be surprised.
At first, when Abu told him that he had found a top laner named Mei Mengxing, he didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly...
Abu really struck gold this time!
Looking at the somewhat reserved zoom in front of him, Ye Zi couldn't help but sigh.
Zoom can be said to be the ceiling of blue-collar top laners. Whether it is laning, team play, or support, it is at the top level.
Although it is still not as good as Theshy, Zoom's style may be more suitable for EDG compared to Theshy.
“Welcome welcome!”
The enthusiasm of several EDG players immediately infected zoom, and the originally a little reserved mood relaxed.
Abu said: "His name is Zhang Xingran, and his ID is now Zoom. I don't need to introduce these guys... From now on, we will all be teammates of the same team. I hope..."
Abu was in front of him making a fuss.
At this point, Zoom successfully joined EDG and became the top laner of EDG's first team, rotating with mouse.
…
The addition of Zoom is even more powerful for EDG.
Recently, Zoom has been playing training matches with the team, and the results have been quite good.
Compared to mouse, zoom's personal talent is clearly outstanding to the naked eye.
Abu was smiling happily, but some were happy and some were sad.
After the arrival of Zoom, mouse became obviously depressed.
Regarding this, Ye Zi also sighed secretly.
The upper limit of Mouse is like this. If you are in a mid-range team, the pressure on Mouse will not be so great, but for a top team like EDG, Mouse's strength is a bit insufficient.
If EDG wants to achieve results, it will naturally continue to strengthen. If there is no zoom, there are others.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Zi still didn't disturb mouse. There were some things that mouse could only digest silently.
A few days passed, and by this time the games of other teams had started.
Yezi took a look at the schedule and found that EDG's schedule was all pushed to the back.
"Qi-chan, our schedule..."
"What Qijiang...it sounds so ugly." The factory director was a little helpless. Ever since he changed his ID, Yezi has been calling him Qijiang. Now everyone who sees him calls him Qijiang Qijiang.
Meiko: "I think Qi Jiang sounds pretty good, right Qi Jiang."
Zoom: "Qi-chan sounds more friendly."
Even the younger brother, who usually doesn’t talk much, joked: “Qi-chan is great in the jungle.”
"..."
The factory director shook his head and didn't bother to correct the issue of address, "Yi Zi, did you just talk about the schedule?"
Yezi nodded: "Our schedule is a little behind."
"I heard that the club negotiated with the officials and deliberately postponed the schedule, which is equivalent to taking a break."
"..."
Ye Zi was speechless. Why don't you take a rest? You still have to train when you need to.
Moreover, the following games are so tight, and the pressure of playing consecutive games is not small.
The factory director explained: "Abbu said that during this period we can study the new version and see how other teams understand the new version."
"I see."
Ye Zi suddenly realized that this reason was reasonable. Now that the new version has been released, everyone was trying to cross the river by feeling the stones in the early stage. If you fight from behind, the advantage will be greater.
‘These guys are really smarter than monkeys.’ Yezi secretly complained.
Next, EDG began to constantly review the games of other teams and study new versions of tactics, lineups and play styles.
Yezi, on the other hand, occasionally talks about what he knows...
To everyone's surprise, his words always inspired the coaching staff a lot.
For a while, everyone joked that he was a tactical AD and that he might become a championship coach after retiring.
In response, Yezi just smiled.
All he can provide are ideas. Specific tactics and details need to be studied by a professional coaching staff. He is not arrogant enough to think that he is qualified for the position of coach just because he knows the direction of the version.
While EDG was accumulating energy, the various outside teams were fiercely fighting each other.
Among them, IG suddenly emerged, sweeping away the decline in the spring split and going straight to the forefront of the points.
Especially IG's top laner Theshy showed a good competitive level as soon as he came on the court.
WE and RNG performed stably and still firmly control the top spots in the standings.
However, without EDG playing, the audience always felt that something was missing.
"When will EDG be launched?"
"God Z doesn't broadcast live either..."
"Is EDG hiding a big move? There has been no news for a while."
"Looking forward to the return of the EDG king."
The schedule continues...
Finally, with much anticipation, EDG is about to take the field for their first game of the summer split - EDG vs. IG!
Within the IG team.
After seeing that his opponent was EDG, Su Xiaoluo slammed the table, stood up from his seat, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fuck!"
