The 2017 champion AD kid You Shen officially announced his retirement. The second team’s youth training player Ah Shui reached the age limit and became the starting ADC of the first team!
ID:IG丶jacklove!
At the same time, all four starters in the championship lineup, Suke Nakano, have successfully renewed their contracts!
In addition, the Korean-aided Duke is listed for sale!
A series of news was released on the same day like a bombshell, causing a sensation throughout the LPL.
[Hey, the kid god has retired! Even though I usually scold him the most harshly, it’s a pity to see him retire! He was also a talented boy back then!]
[Okay, the championship lineup has basically been preserved, the child god is not a necessity! 】
[I don’t know if Ah Shui can adapt to the intensity of the top league. It will take him a year!]
[To be honest, I think children are more suitable for Chen Yu than Ah Shui!]
[Why is Duke listed for sale? The details of his resistance to pressure in the two semi-finals really made me cry! If he is bought by a strong enemy, I am really afraid of offending him!]
...
Various IG news have fans talking a lot.
Some are reluctant to leave the child, some are curious about Asui, and some are worried about Duke!
Of course, more people are still concerned about whether IG's overall strength will decline after this operation and personnel replacement.
You know, the current IG is the first championship in the history of LPL, and its momentum is at its peak, and every move is attracting everyone's attention!
Fans not only look forward to IG continuing to provide them with wonderful games, but also looking forward to IG bringing them the second, third and even more championships!
At the same time, people in major circles also expressed their opinions.
[The biggest problem for IG’s personnel change this time is probably on the top lane. Chaoshai’s offense is lacking in stability and stability. Duke can perfectly make up for this shortcoming and bring diversification of tactics. However, I heard that it was Duke himself who requested the transfer. He
I still want a starting position. I can only say that I hope Duke can find a good home and IG can get along better!】
This is the opinion expressed by the commentator doll on Weibo.
[It’s really hurtful for Duke to leave the team, but he is already strong enough. If the tactics are tilted, there should be no problem! Moreover, the new bottom lane Jack is a very talented ADC, and paired with Chen Yu, it will be a powerful combination.
, if it can adapt to the rhythm of the top league, I think IG’s strength has increased! And in Chen Yu’s hands, the ADC should be very comfortable!]
This is explained by Miller!
Ever since IG helped him realize his dream of winning the first LPL championship, he has become IG's most loyal fan, and Chen Yu is his most optimistic professional player. He can support him without any thought!
In addition, many professional players, coaches, commentators, etc. have commented on IG’s personnel changes.
However, most of them focus on IG's bottom lane, worrying about whether Ah Shui can adapt to Chen Yu's style like a child.
With Chen Yu's current status and strength, of course it is the ADC that can adapt to his style.
If Ah Shui can't adapt to Chen Yu's style, it will not be a good thing for IG.
Among them, the Guan University School posted a long Weibo post for analysis.
He believes that Ah Shui is not suitable for the IG system, let alone Chen Yu!
Because even though Ah Shui is highly praised and many people say he may be the next Uzi, he has not experienced the baptism of the top leagues yet. Who knows what he will be like in the real game?
And even if Ah Shui is really strong, his playing style is that of a Kerry-type AD. He is a very traditional ADC, and he is young and energetic. It is difficult for him to be willing to be part of a team like a child who has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
tool man.
In a game, the resources of a map are limited. If IG has three Kerry points that must consume resources, the final result is likely to be that none of the three Kerry points are fat enough to take over the game!
And just like when the kids were here, the most suitable strategy for IG is to have Kerry in the middle and big C playing all over the field, the AD tool in the bottom lane to use skills to resist damage, make up for output, and the two wild assistants to lead the rhythm.
With the support of Chen Yu, who has an extremely strong personal style, he needs to be a tool player in the bottom lane to maximize his strength.
Therefore, Colonel Guan came to the conclusion: IG’s personnel changes this time will have a great impact on the bottom lane. In the new season, IG’s bottom lane is likely to become a new breakthrough.
There are many supporters of his point of view. They also believe that the young and energetic Ah Shui cannot perfectly adapt to Chen Yu's unconstrained assistance like a child. It may be that one plus one is less than two.
.
But before the game starts, these are just guesses!
As IG took the lead in launching the official announcement, other teams also announced various news one after another.
For example, after QG changed its name, JDG’s original mid laner Po Coin joined RW. Toothpaste replaced Po Coin’s original position and became JD.com’s starting mid laner!
SNG signed the core midfielder of the e-sports Huangpu Military Academy YM, Golden Left Hand and Xiaotian.
RNG signed the core junglers Kasa and Xiang Guo, the leader of the Flash Wolves in the LMS division, to rotate them. They were quiet and moved, adding a lot of tactical changes.
There is also LGD’s mid laner and optimistic patriarch Wei Shen who announced his retirement and officially switched to fighting chicken.
A series of news continued to spread like mushrooms after a rain, causing heated discussions one after another!
At the same time, IG’s team members participated in the design of their championship skins at the official invitation!
Without exception, Lesha chose Lucian, who has the highest appearance rate!
And because the previous year SKT jungler Xiao Hei chose the Zac skin that King Ning is best at, King Ning could only settle for the next best thing and choose Prince as his championship skin!
Broiler also chose Clockwork as his championship skin because Faker, the champion mid laner last year, chose Syndra.
The bottom lane kid and Chen Yu are slightly different.
Originally this year's strongest bot lane combination, Xia Luo, was extremely popular. They were also the first officially announced couple bot lane combination in LOL, so there was no need to worry about sales.
But the kid has never won Xayah in the World Championship, so he has no way to choose!
So the kid directly chose VN as his champion skin.
Chen Yu did use Luo in the World Championship, but he chose Xerath as his champion skin!
As a mid laner hero, it is very disappointing that the way to obtain the championship skin is actually in the support position!
However, due to the existence of Chen Yu, this unpopular hero has become very popular, and can be used by mid laners and auxiliaries, so there is no need to worry about sales.
In addition, because Duke selected Dao Mei once in the second round of the group stage, he designated his championship skin as Dao Mei. (There is a BUG here, because Duke has to arrange a transfer, so the S8 skin is not
It’s impossible to get it. I’ll arrange for him to get the Sword Girl skin he deserves directly in S7. Everyone should understand.)
...
After determining the champion skin and designing the skin's actions, Chen Yu and others took a long vacation.
It wasn't until the Demacia Cup in the winter of 2017 that IG's new lineup assembled again.
In order to improve the tacit understanding between Chen Yu and Ah Shui, the two and Ning Wang led the team to participate in the German Cup Qingdao Station.
The Demacia Cup is an event for many top teams to hone their newcomers and develop the tacit understanding of their new lineups. Almost all of them will not send their entire main force to participate in the competition.
In this kind of competition composed of LPL remnants and LSPL teams, the sudden addition of the three big devils Chen Yu and King Ashuining is also a dimensionality reduction blow.
Even with two LSPL substitutes, it was still a killing spree.
The middle and top tool, King Ning defends the bottom lane, and Ah Shui, under the protection of Chen Yu, goes crazy on his own, and he has gained a reputation!
Some voices questioning Ah Shui's personal abilities gradually became quieter.
Of course, there are also many newcomers who have performed very well, such as SNG's new midfielder Lefty and Xiaotian, Snakes' new mid laner Guoguo, etc. They have all shown strong personal abilities and become famous for a while.
However, the championship eventually fell into the hands of IG.
After all, Chen Yu and Ning Wang, the new champion Nosuke's rhythmic ability, are so strong that there is no one-stop opponent for them in the bottom lane of each team!
But compared to the world championship, the Demacia Cup champion is a bit insignificant, and its gold content is not even as good as the spring and summer championships of the LPL.
And during the Demacia Cup, there was another major event that attracted even more attention.
That is, the substitute top laner Duke transferred back to the LCK, returned to SKT where he won the championship a year ago, and re-formed the Galaxy Battleship!
After being crushed by IG to win the championship this year, LCK's era of dominance has come to an end. LCK fans also have a great sense of crisis and have called on the LCK team to regroup and regain the championship trophy.
Therefore, during the offseason, LCK operations are also very frequent.
SKT, who lost in the finals, spared no expense to bring the former champion top laner Duke back to the LCK from IG. IG was used as an imaginary enemy, trying to use Duke to resist Xia Sha's offensive.
In addition, KT has also formed a super luxurious Galaxy Battleship, with mata and deft joining to form a super bottom lane, plus the top three top laners in the LCK, smeb, the top three junglers in the world, Score, the S4 champion mid laner Fat General, and rising stars.
The new mid laner Ucal, this galactic battleship is enough to make people tremble.
After the two teams were reorganized, some LCK fans shouted that the end of the LPL had come, and that the 2018 Global Finals would once again become a civil war in the LCK!
LPL fans are also very puzzled as to why IG wants to return Duke to LCK!
You know, Duke comes from IG and knows IG's tactical system very well. His ability to withstand pressure has been honed to perfection during the team training. When he is put back into the camp of a strong enemy like SKT, he will be even more powerful.
At the beginning, there were no teams in the LPL that were interested in Duke, which was put up for sale by IG. However, faced with the call from his old club, Duke chose to return to the LCK.
IG is one of the more humane clubs in the LPL. In the beginning, they fully consulted Zi Zi’s personal opinion before making the deal. Duke’s transaction also gave Duke himself enough respect. After the price was negotiated, they still chose to let Duke go.
Back to SKT!
On the one hand, IG is confident in its own strength and is not afraid of the challenge of Galaxy Battleship. On the other hand, the team has three players with the highest salary in the industry. Even a wealthy club like IG is somewhat stretched and urgently needs this deal.
Capital return.
In response to fans' doubts, IG did not respond much. It only wished Duke a better development and assured fans that IG will do its best to win every game.
