After thinking for a long time, Lu Haoran finally made up his mind.
Although letme, who is still in the rng youth training team at this time, will be very strong in next year's s8 season, no matter how strong he is, he can only compete with theshy from s8 at a 50-50 level.
And with theshy's dominance in the top lane in the S8 season, once he continues to stay in the ig team, no matter what the lineup of the LGD team next year is, he may not be a complete opponent of ig.
As for buying Ah Shui in advance?
This thing is even more impossible. After all, Ah Shui was spotted by Principal Wang a few years ago!
So, after struggling for a while again, Lu Haoran contacted the manager of the ig team, Su Xiaoluo.
"Manager Su, think about it again. Our LGD team really needs a substitute top laner."
"Anyway, you already have world champion Duke, and Theshy may not be able to play in the summer split. Why not sell it to us LGD, so that when Wolf Xing takes a break, he can still play for him."
Lu Haoran said to Su Xiaoluo very sincerely.
But Su Xiaoluo is very cunning.
"I didn't expect Manager Lu to be so optimistic about theshy player? It seems that his potential must be very strong."
"After all, no one was optimistic about Lang Xing, Xiao Ning, Xiao Ming, and even Sima Laojie, who you had previously favored. However, unexpectedly, they directly won the MSI championship."
"Now that you are optimistic about theshy, does that mean he also has the potential to win the championship?"
Su Xiaoluo was very suspicious. Although he was also optimistic about Theshy, he actually didn't think Theshy's upper limit would be higher than Duke's. Otherwise, how could Team We put Theshy so easily into their IG team?
"I'm optimistic, but the championship is a bit exaggerated. I really just want to find a substitute for Langxing."
"If our LGD team wins the championship in S7 this year, there is a high probability that Langxing will return to the SNG team. Then I will definitely find a new top laner. As for theshy..."
"Otherwise, Manager Su, theshy will be a substitute here anyway, so why not loan him to our LGD for a season first?"
"When S7 is over, if you want Theshy to go back, and Theshy wants to go back too, then go back."
Lu Haoran's mind suddenly started brainstorming, and he quickly came up with a foolproof idea!
"Rent it..."
Su Xiaoluo can still accept the loan, after all, theshy will only be a substitute if he stays.
But what he wants is more than that!
"It's okay to rent, but I still hope to get Xiaoning's priority in trading."
"If this season is over and Xiaoning wants to change clubs, you must be the first to contact us!"
Su Xiaoluo said eloquently, still showing a strong interest in Xiaoning, a new jungler.
Because for the ig team, if next year's lineup can become top laner Duke, jungler Ning, mid laner Rookie, bottom lane jackeylove, and support Bao Lan, then this complete ig team will definitely have a chance to compete for the championship.
!
"Okay, no problem at all!"
Although he was very conflicted in his heart, Lu Haoran still agreed.
Although Lu Haoran knew very well that the combination of theshy and ning was invincible in the S8 season, this was not absolute. After all, when facing the letme and spicy hotpot combination of the rng team, they failed to win the S8 summer season.
Tournament champion.
This means that even if Lu Haoran separates the combination of theshy and Xiaoning next year and finds a new jungler, it will not necessarily be weaker than this combination!
Of course, who to find the new jungler will have to be considered after the summer split.
…
After testing and communicating with each other, the two veterans finally finalized the lease agreement.
From now on, ig.theshy is on loan to the lgd team and serves as the top lane substitute for the lgd team.
In addition, the two parties also signed some supplementary agreements, trying their best to keep theshy in LGD after the summer split and to recruit Xiaoning to ig.
But in the end, whether this supplementary agreement can be established is another matter. After all, if you want to break the contract, the most likely thing is liquidated damages.
As for Lu Haoran, it would be great if next year's LGD team could form a top and jungle combination of theshy and ning. Even if it wasn't possible, it would still give him a backup plan.
After finalizing the top lane substitute position, Lu Haoran decided to continue looking for substitutes in other positions.
Since it has been determined that the top laner in the s8 season lineup will be theshy, the substitute jungler must also be a jungler with a similar style to Xiao Ning who can play recklessly with theshy.
This style of jungler is actually extremely rare in LPL. There are only two that Lu Haoran can think of at the first time, one is rng.mlxg and the other is ss.sofm.
These two ideas were quickly extinguished, firstly because both are now not for sale by their respective teams, and secondly because, in the future S12 season, the combination of theshy and somf will not work very well.
Although it is true that theshy's status has declined, it is also true that sofm has become too neurotic.
"After s7 is over, let's go and try to buy the spicy hotpot."
“theshy plus mlxg, this combination seems to be good too.”
Thinking of this, Lu Haoran's eyes lit up.
Although I started to think about substitutes for the other three positions.
The first is the bottom lane position. Xiao Ming actually doesn’t need a substitute for the time being. After all, this guy’s title of “E-Sports Iron Man” is not guaranteed in the future. He can fight to the end even without a substitute.
Then there is the middle lane. Lu Haoran actually really wants to arrange a substitute for Wei Shen, because he is almost 100% sure that after winning the S7 World Championship, Wei Shen will choose to retire.
One is because he is older, and the other is because after winning the championship, a gaming genius like Wei Shen will definitely lose his current enthusiasm for League of Legends, and then switch to the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Professional League to continue to shine.
As for who to replace Wei Shen, Lu Haoran has actually already thought about it.
That is the golden left-hand knight who is still competing in the ym team in the secondary league!
However, Golden Left Hand is not in a hurry to contact him because his current strength is not very strong and he still needs to continue to hone his skills.
But what is certain is that with the current relationship between Lu Haoran and pdd, if he wants to buy the gold left hand, it will definitely be a matter of words!
As for the old thief Sima, Lu Haoran went around in the transfer market and couldn't find a suitable substitute, so the matter of adc substitute could only be given up for the time being.
Therefore, after a few busy days, the transfer operation of the LGD team in this summer transfer window was officially completed.
In addition to introducing the substitute top laner theshy, Lu Haoran also strengthened the construction of the management team and recruited tactical analysts, nutritionists, team leaders, etc.
After delegating these tedious little things, Lu Haoran can devote all his experience to his two identities of coach and manager.
…
"Hello everyone, I'm theshy."
On the day the loan agreement was finalized with the IG team, theshy appeared in the LGD team's training room and greeted his new teammates in his very unfamiliar Mandarin.
"Welcome, welcome, brother shy. The first time I saw you, I felt like we had known each other before!"
Xiao Ning immediately stood up and shook hands with theshy with a smile.
"It's over, it's over, Lang Xing is going to be the substitute, and none of the players that Manager Lu likes are weak."
Wei Shen watched the excitement from the side and did not mind the trouble.
"Welcome, it's nothing. Only when you have pressure can you be motivated. I hope we can communicate more and make progress together in the future."
Lang Xing also said with a smile, but there was no pressure in his heart, because Manager Lu had promised him privately before that theshy was only a substitute and would not be rotated unless he was sick or something unexpected happened.
"I'm envious, I'm so envious!"
"In this S7 World Championship, theshy can definitely become the world champion top laner!"
Xiao Ming also said with a smile on the side, saying he was envious, but in fact he already regarded the S7 world championship as his own!
"Okay, welcome theshy to officially join the lgd team!"
After the players greeted each other, Lu Haoran formally welcomed them, and then arranged his personal training plan for theshy.
The first is to practice heroes with Lang Xing, and mainly practice unpopular heroes, so that you can have the opportunity to substitute for Lang Xing in key games, and then win by surprise.
The second is to learn Chinese.
"In fact, learning Chinese is your main task this season. After all, communication is so important in professional competitions. Even if you understand Chinese but can't speak it, you will still have some communication with your teammates.
question."
"I have specially hired a Chinese teacher for you. From now on, you will study with the Chinese teacher for at least two hours every day, and strive to reach the level of normal communication before the end of this season."
Lu Haoran said solemnly to theshy that although it seemed that it was not worth making such a big sacrifice for a loaned player, he knew in his heart that this matter would definitely be a huge profit!
After arranging everyone's training tasks, the LGD team lounge finally became quiet, and everyone began to collectively prepare for the summer competition!
At the same time, the schedule for the summer split has been officially released!
On the first match day of the summer season on June 8, the lgd team will attend the opening match as the spring champions, and their opponent will be the dan team that has just been promoted from the lspl league to the lpl league!
Although it is a team that has just been promoted, the strength of the dan team cannot be underestimated.
Because unlike the SNG team that won the LSPL spring championship and directly advanced to the LPL, the dan team successfully defeated the vg teams of easyhoon and bengi through promotion and relegation to advance!
Strictly speaking, the Dan team has at least reached the level of a mid-tier LPL team!
"It's amazing, and if I were a member of the dan team, I would definitely hope that the program battle in the summer split could be like the lgd team in the spring split, directly defeating last season's champion, and then becoming famous in one fell swoop."
"It's a pity that our opponent is rng, and your opponent is us."
"LGD will not give you a chance, and will use the most special welcome method to welcome you to LPL."
Lu Haoran looked at the schedule, and a sinister and cunning smile gradually appeared on his face!
…
The rest time passed very quickly. It felt like I only had two or three days of rest, and in the blink of an eye, the new season has arrived!
On June 8, 2017, the first match day of the first week of the 2017 LPL Summer Split officially arrived!
When the LGD team's bus arrived at the familiar Hongqiao world again, the situation they saw was no longer the same as before.
Outside the court, everyone is a fan of the LGD team, and each player has his own fan group. Even Lu Haoran himself has some "coach fans".
Lu Haoran smiled and greeted the fans while deliberately paying attention to the fans of the dan team.
As expected, there was almost no one, even worse than the LGD team before the start of the spring split!
After all, the LGD team at that time was still a skinny camel, and the dan team at this time was just a newborn pony.
This is evident from the fact that e-sports strength speaks for itself!
…
"good!"
"Welcome to all summoners on site and in front of the screen, after two months, the LPL Professional League is back!"
"Hello everyone, I am the commentator for today's opening match!"
"Hello everyone, I'm commentator Miller!"
When Doll Miller once again stood on the familiar LPL commentary stage, the two of them were extremely excited and excited, as if the wanderers had finally returned home.
"Today is the start of the 2017 LPL Summer Split, so we have specially arranged two exciting duels for all the viewers!"
"The first game is between the LGD team and the Dan team, and the second game is between the RNG team and the SNG team!"
"You must have guessed that the theme of today's opening match is the showdown between old and new!"
"On one side, there are the two top teams in the lpl, the lgd team and the rng team, and on the other side, there are the dan team and the sng team, two young teams that have just joined the lpl."
"What's the result of today's battle? I'm still looking forward to it!"
The doll's voice was extremely passionate.
"The first thing brought to us is the game between the LGD team and the dan team. This game must have been long-awaited by everyone."
"Because the LGD team is not only the champion of the Spring Split, but also won the championship in the just-concluded MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational, reviving the glory of our LPL!"
"However, as a new team, the dan team is definitely not someone to be trifled with. They will definitely have the spirit of daring to fight and fight hard to compete with our champion team!"
"Next, let me introduce to you the starting lineups of both teams."
"Team dan, top laner lies, jungler karin, mid laner ggoong, bottom laner qiuqiu, assistant cat, coach bsyy!"
"Next, let's invite the players from both teams to appear on stage!"
After Miller introduced the starting lineups of both teams, the two teams that had been waiting in the player tunnel finally took the stage one after another to welcome the first battle of the LPL Summer Split!
The expressions of the players from both teams were very excited, and there was a feeling of "new season, new atmosphere", but it is unclear whether the dan team can still laugh after the opening game BO3 is over.
"For the opening match, the goal I give you is very simple."
"That is, try to end the game within 20 minutes!"
"Let the Dan team have a good feel for what the strength of LPL is!"
At this moment, Lu Haoran smiled and said an extremely cruel word!
