Chapter 113 The difference between IG and EDG (5400-character chapter)
"Congratulations to EDG for winning this game 2:0. They will play in the semi-finals the day after tomorrow..." Miller and Wawa were making the final remarks.
Chen Lang and others did not leave the scene directly. Starting from the round of 16, the winner would come over and take the initiative to shake hands with the loser. They were waiting for the EDG players to come over.
The EDG players walked towards Chen Lang and the others together, and everyone shook hands one by one.
When it was Chen Lang's turn, the factory director looked at him with a smile and said: "Awesome! I've met you before in the rankings and I'm very impressed with you. I didn't expect that I could play against you in the German Cup this time. You are really strong."
.”
"Thank you." Chen Lang responded with a smile.
"If you have the opportunity to chat privately, our team is very interested in you and hopes you can join EDG to play professionally." The factory director said with a smile, continued to walk forward, and found someone to shake hands with.
It's normal to say a few words when shaking hands. You can't stand still all the time. The audience below is waiting and they don't have time to chat. The factory manager can just say what he wants to say.
PAWN wore glasses, and his slightly rounded head immediately looked at Chen Lang, staring at the player who had killed him several times in the game.
"You look very young and gentle, why are you so fierce in playing games?"
PAWN looked at Chen Lang with some curiosity. He felt that Chen Lang's appearance was completely inconsistent with his playing style. He played very fiercely in the game, but he didn't expect that he was so delicate in reality.
"A bit like me, the same type of player." PAWN thought to himself.
He himself is the kind of person who looks amiable, but in the game he is a representative of violent temper. In S4 in LCK (OGN), he always actively looks for fights with opponents instead of developing peacefully. Even Feike was killed several times by him alone.
Second-rate!
PAWN is the kind of guy who looks honest and honest on the outside, but is actually very irritable when playing games. He originally thought that Chen Lang would be a fierce-looking person, but he found that the other person looked more polite than him...
...
Most importantly, PAWN's figure is much stronger than Chen Lang's, otherwise why would he be said to look like Buddha? Apart from his calmer complexion, his figure is somewhat similar.
The two didn't speak, just shook hands and then continued to shake hands with the next person.
PAWN doesn't speak Chinese, so naturally he can't talk to Chen Lang.
However, he still felt a little pity in his heart. Chen Lang was a very good player but he was not a professional player. He didn't know when the two of them would have a chance to fight again.
PAWN really wants to continue playing against Chen Lang, and wants to come back with a solo kill to wash away the shame of being soloed in this series.
Being single-killed in the first game can be said to be an accident, but in the second game he was already very serious. It was completely because Chen Lang was better in that wave of games.
PAWN recalled his operation at that time. The male sword's E skill itself instantly moved behind the local unit. He was afraid that his intention of walking over would be too obvious, so he chose to move backwards and keep a safe distance from Chen Lang, allowing Chen Lang to
Relax your vigilance and then flash a set to fight.
However, even such thoughts and operations were still avoided by Chen Lang, which showed that Chen Lang was also guessing what he was thinking.
PAWN is still very interested in such talented players. After all, being able to defeat a talented player with his own hands will give him a sense of accomplishment.
When the game was about to end, PAWN's serious expression relaxed. He asked the factory director who Chen Lang was and which team he was a player on.
When he learned that Chen Lang was not a professional player, but a passerby (anchor), he couldn't help but be surprised.
He originally thought that such a powerful player would be the core player of a certain team, but he never thought that he was just a passer-by. It was indeed a surprise.
This was the first time for meiko to play. He was very shy and greeted everyone in FTD with a smile. He was very happy to win the game.
...
Chen Lang and his team's game was over, and everyone agreed to have dinner together in the evening before leaving the Magic City the next day.
This can be regarded as a gathering before everyone leaves. The five people came together and got to know each other because of the game. It was not easy to fight side by side all the way to this point. Everyone's mood was not lost because of losing the game. On the contrary, it was because the separation was imminent and they were depressed.
.
It will not be easy to get together next time. After all, everyone has their own life and the time will not be consistent.
"Come to Lanzhou to play with me when you have time, and I will take you to have fun!" Big Brother Cake said boldly.
"It's easy to say, I will definitely go to your place to eat authentic Lanzhou ramen if I have a chance." JackeyLove said with a smile.
Cake patted his chest: "That's right, Lanzhou's beef noodles are the most authentic, and many of them are fake!"
Chen Lang chuckled and said, "Come to Zhejiang University to play with me when you have time. I'll take you around Zhejiang University. You must have never been there~"
"..."
Everyone turned their heads and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Who the hell are you looking down on?
I’ve never eaten pork, I’ve never seen a pig running, and I’ve never studied at Zhejiang University. What’s wrong?
Is Zhejiang University amazing?
But after thinking about it, Zhejiang University is really amazing...
Chen Lang's Versailles wave made a few people lose their defenses, but they all laughed. After Chen Lang's troubles, the parting mood in their hearts faded a bit.
After the fun, a few people sat together and ate barbecue, feeling the cool weather in the city at night.
"You three will probably become professionals in the future, right?" Cake looked at Chen Lang and the others and asked.
"Yeah." Wushuang nodded.
JackeyLove scratched his head and said uncertainly: "I don't know. Mainly because I am young and other teams don't necessarily want me. If not, I will go back and continue to be the anchor. If there is a chance, I still want to try it.
"
Susu smiled and said: "Brother Lang performed so well in the German Cup this time. I saw many team managers coming to look for him backstage~"
JackeyLove joked: "Brother Lang is different from us. He is a top student at Zhejiang University. He will have a good future even if he doesn't play professionally. Besides, if you play professionally without results, it will be miserable. His future life will be worse than graduating step by step."
Life."
JackeyLove is a brat with a very mature mind. Chen Lang's situation is different from his, so Chen Lang has many choices. There are too many uncertainties in playing professionally, so he still has no idea whether Chen Lang can embark on a professional path.
Can confirm Chen Lang's decision.
Cake agreed with JackeyLove and said: "Studying is indeed the best way out. If Brother Lang wants to work professionally, it will be difficult for his parents, let alone his parents' generation. Even I think it is better to continue studying for further education instead of working professionally."
"
If Chen Lang absolutely pursues a career, he will definitely have to take a break from school. If he takes a year off, he will still have to study for one more year when he comes back. Whether he can still calm down and study at that time is another matter. It is very wasteful.
time and effort.
In the eyes of Cakes and others, it is very difficult to get ahead in the profession. Just like the S4 LPL league, there are a total of eight teams. How many players do you know?
For example, take the now extremely popular Deyunse team consisting of Sika and Xiaoxiao. How many people know about Sika’s team?
Who are the other players on Sika’s team?
Many people know Sika not from his career, but from De Yunse, who formed after his retirement. This shows that it is too difficult for professional players to become famous!
Not to mention that the PE team that Sika belongs to also won the LPL championship and runner-up. This result is already very outstanding. Not many teams have this honor.
IG, which is very famous, has been established for several years but has never touched the LPL league trophy. This is evident!
Therefore, playing professionally is also a difficult thing. For Chen Lang, although he is famous now, it does not mean that he will be the same in the future. Moreover, he has choices, which is the biggest difference from other professional players.
The overall educational level of professional players is low. Many of them have not finished junior high school. If they were not playing professionally, they would be working in an electronics factory now!
In fact, they are a group of people who are desperate. It just so happens that LOL is very popular and live streaming platforms have just emerged, giving these Internet-addicted teenagers a chance to change their lives.
Otherwise, a child as old as JackeyLove would drop out of school so early and would either go to a construction site or become an apprentice.
"I still want to play professionally, I want to compete on the highest stage, I want to defeat the Koreans, and I want the LPL to become the strongest league!"
Chen Lang confided that it was not just the system's tasks that made him embark on a career, but he himself had a yearning for the career.
There was no chance to achieve it before, but now that there is an opportunity, of course we must seize it!
Cake and others looked at Chen Lang's determined face and said with a smile: "I believe you can become famous even if you play professionally. After all, you are really strong and will not be ignored."
"Choose a team to join, fulfill your dream, and compete for the championship!"
Susu nodded her little head at the side: "You three are like this. If you have the opportunity, you must choose a stronger team to join. This way, the probability of getting results will be higher."
If the team you join is a low-level team, it will be really difficult to get ahead.
Although being able to play professionally is already very good, but with the level of Chen Lang, Wushuang and JackeyLove, they don’t have to worry about the team. They played very well in this German Cup. I believe many teams will take a fancy to them.
This is a two-way choice. Not only does the team choose them, but they also have the right to choose the team.
At this time, Wushuang said a little shyly: "An LPL team contacted me and promised to give me a starting jungler. The team also focuses on training new players and the salary is good. I am still considering it."
"Which team?" Everyone looked at Wushuang curiously.
"GT." Wushuang said.
"GT?" Cake thought for a moment. It was not a particularly famous team. He looked at Wushuang and asked, "Are there any famous players in the team?"
"No." Wushuang shook his head.
GT does not have any well-known players, they are basically newcomers from LSPL.
Among the 12 teams in the LPL, GT is indeed the bottom team, but because of this, they vigorously cultivate new players.
If it is an established strong team, such as WE, EDG and other teams, even if Wushuang can go, he will definitely start as a substitute. For Wushuang, he definitely hopes to become a starting player rather than a substitute.
There is still a difference between being able to play in games and not being able to play. This way, you will have more opportunities to grow.
"It's also good to go to a team with a lot of newcomers. You can train yourself. If you perform well, you can also show your worth and you will always be favored by other teams." Chen Lang said.
"That's what I think." Wushuang agreed.
Although other teams have contacted him, he prefers to go to GT to train himself.
Cake nodded: "That's true."
JackeyLove seems to be thinking about something too.
Wushuang continued: "I heard that the mid laner in the team is quite powerful. Like Brother Lang, he is good at playing assassin heroes, witches, and tribulations. He is very good at playing these games."
"Cultivation and tacit understanding with him. The midfielder still needs tacit understanding, so work hard!" Chen Lang said with a smile.
He remembered that GT's mid laner should be Xiaohu, a player who debuted as an assassin hero and was not weak.
Later, RNG fell in love with Xiaohu. For Xiaohu, it acquired the entire GT team and changed its name to RNG. This was the predecessor of the RNG team.
The top laner of this team is called Letme, who will also be commonly known as the Emperor of All Beings Equality in the future.
Even in the future, Xiaohu and Letne will be the first people in China to win honors, and have won championships in all other competitions except the S crown.
Chen Lang didn't know if the trajectory of his previous life would change here. After all, many things had happened that deviated from the original trajectory.
In fact, Wushuang can play well. GT is indeed a good place to go. Except for this team, the other teams are not short of junglers. Like IG and WE, Han Yuan is the jungler. They are strong. If Wushuang goes there, they may not have a chance.
Get ahead.
As for the EP teams in the central region, they are not as good as GT. Chen Lang did not do much to persuade them. The most important thing is their own strength. As long as they work hard to improve their strength, they will not lack the attention of the teams.
A player's worth is determined by himself, not by hype.
Like UZI, who is now famous, no matter how many black spots there are, there is no doubt about his strength. He has won the world runner-up twice. If his strength is denied, then what are those who are not as good as him?
Another factory director who is as famous as UZI has achieved outstanding results in WE. This year he joined the new team EDG with Curly Hair, and won the LPL spring and summer double championship in the same year. This achievement is also outstanding among the others!
Therefore, as these two iconic players of the LPL, they have many fans and negative fans, but no one will question their strength. After all, these results are real results and not hyped.
"I will." Wushuang nodded solemnly, and then asked: "Brother Lang, do you have a team you want to join?"
"I remember when we shook hands with EDG, the factory director seemed to invite you to join EDG?"
The seats of each player in the competition were arranged by upper, middle and lower assistants. Wushuang was right next to Chen Lang, so he also heard a little of the conversation between the factory director and Chen Lang.
Everyone's eyes quickly turned to Chen Lang. EDG was a team that was in full swing at this time. In the first year since its establishment, the team had won a double league championship, dominated the domestic league, and reached the top eight in the World Championship.
For a newly established team, this result can be said to be extremely good. After all, the new team lacks running-in. Training new players like GT means giving up current results for future results.
No one would think that the strength and experience of new players are as good as those of veteran players. It is common for new players to be educated.
Professional teams will study every one of your habits, such as your habitual stance at the start and where you are used to inserting wards. These details are all flaws that can be used to attack.
People who are able to embark on a career path are not bad at operation. The biggest difference is actually their mentality. Experience can be gradually improved, but mentality is difficult to control. Just like KID, career and rank are two types of reputations. What causes this
The difference is mentality.
Chen Lang smiled and said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but there is a high probability that EDG will not go. I don't want to be a support."
If Chen Lang takes a leave of absence from school to play professionally, it must be to play in the field. If he cannot play as a substitute, then what is the point of giving up his studies to play professionally?
"That's right." Cake nodded: "This year, EDG signed PAWN and DEFT, two world-class double-C players. The team should focus on playing in the middle and lower positions. If you go to EDG, it will probably be difficult to play."
"No rush, let's check out a few more teams. The spring split hasn't started yet, so I have time."
JackeyLove suddenly said: "Brother Lang, have you considered going to IG?"
Yes, IG is a veteran team, and the boss behind it is Wang Sicong, so there is no shortage of money!
IG also made some signings this year. Although they introduced LCK (OGN) Summer Championship mid laner Rookie, he was just a gift. What IG really values is Kakao!
If Chen Lang goes to IG, it is not impossible to replace Rookie!
As a veteran team, IG has a lot of fans and is well-known and well-known. The most important thing is that it has money. If you go to IG, the treatment will not be bad.
Cake said: "IG is indeed a good choice."
JackeyLove continued: "When I went to the toilet before, I met IG's coach Chris. He asked me to tell you that he hopes to sign the two of us together."
"In this case, let's go to the spring game together and treat it as a training ground."
If Chen Lang didn't sign, he might not be able to get the chance to appear if he signed with IG by himself. However, he didn't say this because he was afraid that telling it would affect Chen Lang's choice. It was a bit like kidnapping Chen Lang. JackeyLove
Not willing to do this.
Because Chen Lang and JackeyLove performed very well in the German Cup, many teams hope to pack them up. However, because some of the players in the team are relatively strong, it is a bit unrealistic to pack them up.
This refers to the LPL team. The LSPL team hopes to pack the two of them, or even take Wushuang together, but with the LPL team in front, their chances of grabbing someone are not great.
In fact, the Spring Split is a training trip for many teams, giving half or even a season for the players to run in. If they cannot run in and the results are dismal, then it is not a matter of coordination.
Whether a player has potential can be seen during the game. If there is no potential, the player will be replaced.
This season, IG is building a team with kakao as its core, so they recruited him because his strength is very outstanding.
If Chen Lang is willing to go to IG, JackeyLove, who works well with him, can play together, but if Chen Lang doesn't go to IG and IG signs JackeyLove alone, it will be difficult to give him a chance.
Firstly, it’s because JackeyLove is too young and not stable.
Secondly, Kid blocked the atomic bomb for Wang Sicong. If he was unwilling to leave the game, IG would not let JackeyLove play.
Susu smiled and said: "IG is an old club with more fans and the most important thing is that the pressure is not that great. I think it is quite suitable for you to go."
IG's comfortable environment, as we all know, if you pursue results, kid and attitude will have been kicked out of the team long ago...
In fact, IG is like a nursing home team. The discipline within the team is not strong and the players are loose. It is expected that they will not get good results.
No matter how outstanding the team members or players are, if they don't have high and strict requirements, they will eventually fall into obscurity. How can they compete with other talented and hard-working people?
Talent is just a high starting point, but hard work can make you better.
The team that is in the opposite situation to IG is EDG, which has very strict management, so their results are relatively good.
The performance of the team is inseparable from the players and the club. The talent of the players determines the upper limit of the club's performance, while the club's management and the requirements for the players determine the lower limit of the club's performance.
Chen Lang said with a smile: "PDD told me about this before. Principal Wang specially asked him to be a lobbyist. I have to leave late tomorrow to see him. The principal wants to talk to me in person."
"Ah Shui, come with me tomorrow and let's see what the principal says." Chen Lang looked at JackeyLove.
