"Being teammates with you is the most correct choice I have made." Chen Lang said with a smile: "I believe we will definitely be able to enter the World Championship this year!"
So far, Chen Lang has never regretted his choice. Even though he rejected IG's million-dollar contract, he did not log into the LPL and chose to start in the LSPL.
When he first made the choice, he didn't know what the future would be like, and choosing to join CP was just a temporary act of anger.
There are indeed benefits to joining a top team. Both the training and the coaching staff are more professional. The team has a lot of traffic, is exposed, and can be on the stage of top competitions. It is undoubtedly the best choice for newcomers who are just starting out.
When you play on a well-known team, it's easy to get noticed, whether it's good or bad.
Even if someone takes the blame, someone will discuss it, and at least the player's ID will be remembered. It's not like playing in an unknown team, where no one will mention whether the player performed well or poorly.
Just like the GT team, except for Xiaohu, no one knows the other four members, and no one knows who has played in that team. Later, letme became famous, which is also the benefit of joining a well-known team.
Chen Lang had the option to join EDG, IG and King, but he refused them all.
The reason is simple. He can accept strict management but cannot accept a team that stifles players' spirituality and ideas. This will limit the players' upper limit. Obviously EDG cannot do that.
EDG only has one requirement for recruiting a top laner, which is to be able to play Big Tree, Maokai, and Twisted Dryad.
The factory director will say to every top laner: "Do you want to win painfully or lose happily?"
This means that if you don’t want to play tank tank, you can choose a big tree to resist the pressure. Although it is very painful to play, you can win the game and the result is good. Playing as C top laner will be very happy, but you will lose the game...
There is no choice. Even if the players don't want to in their hearts, they can only choose the big tree to resist the pressure. EDG is a traditional team that plays around the middle and lower double C rhythm. The top lane is always the sacrifice position and the blame position.
If it weren't for Tong Yang's good performance in MSI, EDG wouldn't be SKT's opponent. Gnar played very well and the tank hero was also excellent, but koro1's tactical status in EDG is not high. It's not so much that koro1 can't C, it's better to say that EDG management
I trust Korean players (PAWN and DEFT) more.
Chen Lang is in the mid lane, so EDG's demand for Chen Lang is not strong. If Chen Lang were a top laner, I'm afraid EDG's pursuit would be much more intense.
IG is sincere, the team management is not strict, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the upper and lower limits for players are high.
However, the management is in chaos, and Wang Sicong is no longer in charge. Moreover, he is nostalgic for his old friendship. With Gemini, IG will never be able to achieve results. It may seem like a high annual salary, but it has no influence at all on Chen Lang who is pursuing his dreams.
King, a two-time world runner-up team, has many fans and a large club. There are many benefits to joining it. Moreover, the fans of this team are different from EDG. There are many fans of Chinese players, not like EDG who like Korean players.
If Chen Lang joins King, and the King team values him, he will definitely become the cornerstone of the team. But in fact, Chen Lang knows that there are many new players in this team, and it will take several years of training before he can achieve results.
Also choosing newcomers as teammates, Chen Lang is naturally more inclined to find people with stronger future potential as teammates. At least the probability of achieving results is higher, right?
Moreover, the King Club is large, so even if Chen Lang is valued again, his contract must have many restrictions. In addition, RNG is a contract team that is famous in the future, and Chen Lang is also afraid that his career will be tied to death...
"Brother Lang, I feel so numb!" JackeyLove shook his body deliberately, pretending to be numb: "Brother, I am a pure man."
He said something that he disliked Chen Lang, but the smile at the corner of his mouth and the smile on his face couldn't hide it, and his words were not true.
lqs and TheShy also laughed happily. They both felt that their original choice was right. Especially after they got to know Chen Lang well, they realized how much he had given up in forming this team!
...
The battle between CP and RNG started. Both teams started their first game a few days after the start of the competition. The first team in the front was a game against a highly popular team. The popularity and popularity of these two teams were quite different, so they were at the back.
Although RNG is a two-time world runner-up club, it has changed its name three times and is still different from the original team. Moreover, there are currently no well-known players in the team. This is a big problem. There are no personal fans of the players.
Although Xiaohu and mlxg performed well in the spring split, they are too immature and have not accumulated many fans. The team's popularity and popularity are much less than before.
At this stage, most of the fans are personal fans of the players, not many team fans.
At the beginning, a large part of the fans of Royal Family were fans of UZI. Now that UZI left Royal Family and joined OMG, he took this group of fans with him. This made OMG the most popular team in the country at that time, and the players could release records and make guest appearances in movies.
, this is all traffic.
It can be said that OMG has gathered three of the top five well-known players in the LPL. Need more fans?
Therefore, the team is very popular and popular. During live games, OMG fans are basically the fans cheering for the team. Only EDG can barely compete. This is because they won MSI, otherwise they would not be able to compare.
Even though OMG exploded, there are still many fans. UZI fans hope that SMLZ will fail in their debut, and then they can ask UZI to come on as the savior~
There are a lot of fans who are out of shape and going, but the fans of OMG have not changed much, so this team is still one of the most popular teams in the LPL.
"There are quite a lot of people today." lqs said with emotion as he looked at the crowded audience.
"It deserves to be in the top league." JackeyLove said.
Although today is not a weekend and the number of spectators at the venue is not large, compared with the LSPL stage, the number of people is still full.
Even when playing against QG in the LSPL finals, JackeyLove found that the number of live viewers in the LPL regular season was larger than that in the LSPL finals!
It can only be said that the attention of the two leagues is not at the same level. You must know that the gold content of the finals is different from that of the regular season. The team that can reach the end must be very strong, the game will be relatively exciting, and the number of viewers will be larger.
The reason for this huge gap is the popularity gap between LPL and LSPL. Most viewers only watch the top league games and rarely watch the secondary league games. Therefore, the finals of the secondary leagues are not as popular as the top league games.
"Come on, perform well, and try to attract more fans." Chen Lang joked: "If RNG didn't have a lot of fans, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many people at the scene."
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although RNG has been reorganized three times, it still has a group of core fans who follow it. These fans are team fans rather than individual fans.
Xiaohu and Malaxiangguo don't have many fans at this time, let alone Wuxin. Xiaoshan is a type of ADC, and the audience doesn't like it even more. His play style is too stable and not bloody online. The audience likes to watch UZI and IMP.
Players who are prone to fights when pressed in line are not players who develop.
In OMG, a team with huge traffic and popularity, Xiaoshan doesn't have many fans, let alone the same type of AD players in other teams. People who really like this kind of team-based AD will also like Xiaoshan instead of Wuxin.
"This scene seems familiar, Brother Lang." JackeyLove heard the underlying meaning of Chen Lang's words.
When they played QG in the finals, it was the same scene, and then they silenced the fans on the opposite side.
Except for QG fans who cheered loudly in the first game, there was much more time of silence than cheering~
lqs and JackeyLove had an idea. He smiled and said: "Brother Lang looks serious, but he is actually rotten~"
"Huh?" Chen Lang turned to look at lqs and said expressionlessly: "After the game, let's go back and have some fun."
s suddenly stopped talking.
Happy refers to the solo competition. At that time, several of us were not familiar with each other when we first joined the team. Then someone proposed to choose a "big brother". Everyone wanted to be the big brother, and no one accepted it.
Originally, the ranking was based on age. Xiaohuahua and TheShy agreed that Korea pays more attention to ranking based on seniority.
Well, the youngest member of JackeyLove was the eldest, and he quit immediately. He felt it was unfair, and then everyone decided to decide who would be the eldest brother through the victory or defeat of the solo. After all, they are all professional players, and it makes sense to use games to decide who is the eldest brother.
Pass.
This thing completely depends on the individual level, and there is no unfairness.
Then, the four of them took turns being beaten by Chen Lang. Even someone like TheShy, who focused on laning, was beaten by Chen Lang when he was solo. Only then did everyone understand how strong Chen Lang's laning strength was, and how strong he was in laning.
How much pressure is there on the line!
The most important thing is that Chen Lang is not only good at one hero, he used several heroes to solo with them, and they were all defeated. He even used Riven and TheShysolo Riven to defeat each other!
The number one player in the Korean server, Rui Wen, lost to a mid laner solo. The three people watching from behind were dumbfounded at that time. The operations of both sides were very sharp. Chen Lang was superior and avoided the control and damage of TheShy's Q.
Killed the opponent.
Because the four of them were beaten by Chen Lang, Chen Lang naturally became the "big brother" of several of them, and his right to speak in the team was confirmed, especially for players like TheShy, who looks delicate on the outside but is very strong at heart.
Chen Lang convinced him. He recognized Chen Lang's strength so he listened to him. Otherwise, he would not listen to what ordinary people said.
This solo allowed everyone to see the gap in personal strength. Then when everyone wanted to improve their laning level, they would choose to go solo with Chen Lang to improve themselves. However, it was miserable every time, but the personal laning level ability did improve.
Because everyone was being abused, I jokingly called Chen Lang a "happy game" for his solo.
"Haha, Songbao is so funny!" JackeyLove saw lqs looking like he was about to cry without tears, and laughed at him happily.
As a result, Chen Lang also looked at him and said, "You are very happy, so you can come and play too."
"Pfft!" lqs just silently picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, but after hearing Chen Lang's words, he spit it out.
"Ahem..." lqs choked on the water and coughed violently.
"Are you okay?" The coach asked quickly when he saw lqs coughing too hard.
"It's okay..." lqs replied slowly, and then he looked at JackeyLove with gloating.
I asked your kid to play the harp, are you still playing the harp now?
"We are from the same roots, so why rush each other." JackeyLove looked at lqs and regretted: "Our bot lane group should work together and should not be divided. This is not good."
Little Peanut and TheShy looked at the three living treasures and they were all laughing. They were a little belatedly aware of it. When TheShy heard "happy", he raised his eyebrows. It's a good thing, he likes it!
After this slapstick, the solemn and tense atmosphere was diluted, and CP became happy.
There is another scenery over RNG.
"Come on, play hard, we can't lose this game!" mlxg was cheering for his teammates.
Opposite was Chen Lang, and he didn't want to lose to him. He wanted Chen Lang to join his team before, but Chen Lang refused. This time he became his opponent. mlxg's strong character would not allow him to lose to Chen Lang.
Xiaohu smiled and said: "We are all considered a 'new team', and they are relatively easy opponents to beat."
"That's right." Wuxin replied: "We have all been in the LPL after all. They just climbed up from the LSPL, so they should pay their tuition."
"Ha ha."
The unintentional words made everyone laugh.
Indeed, although CP performed well in the LSPL, there is still a gap between the LPL and the LSPL league. As LPL players, they have a sense of superiority in their hearts when facing the LSPL teams.
The main reason is that RNG is not the bottom team. mlxg just won the best rookie jungler. The new mid laner Xiaohu is also a proficient assassin player. The two of them cooperate well and their training record is not bad. So facing the team of Chen Lang and others,
Everyone in RNG still has confidence.
In terms of potential, the RNG team has many newcomers, and everyone is not bad at talent. RNG itself is also a big club, with a certain number of loyal fans. As individual players, the future of mlxg and Xiaohu is bright. Who is not a future warrior?
"Look at me grabbing the middle!" mlxg geared up and was ready.
"On your first show, you can't lose!" Xiaohu also set a goal for himself.
This is his first game in RNG. He does not want to lose the game, but hopes to win this game and give him a good start in his new career journey.
Both sides are full of fighting spirit, and neither one wants to lose to the other.
...
The game started and both sides started BP.
The commentators for this game are Guan Zeyuan and Hui Ji. They are considered emerging commentators. Usually games of this kind of team are narrated by their partners. Wawa and Miller are old partners. They comment on popular and extremely popular games.
Team competitions are also qualifications for commentators.
There is no way, there are so many people watching the games like EDC and OMG, the two commentators work well together, whether they praise them or not, the audience enjoys watching them, they are also popular commentators in the LPL.
"RNG has banned the female swordsmen, Victor and Ryze!" Guan Zeyuan explained when he saw the heroes that RNG had banned.
"In this version, the top lane warriors are rising. The female swordsman is indeed very strong. Once you gain the advantage, it will be painful to hit the tank. After all, there is real damage, which is damage that cannot be reduced by armor."
Remember to nod and answer: "Yes, RNG is targeting the mid-to-upper position of CP, and the new version after MSI has also made the late-stage magic core popular, especially the Tsar has become popular, becoming the team's guarantee in the mid-to-late stage, whether it is output or
He is very strong in team fights and backhands, and is now a popular choice in competitions.”
"Brother Lang seems to rarely play this kind of late-stage magic core hero. He is good as an assassin and a traditional mage. I wonder how he will play as a late-stage mage in this version?" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.
He directly called Chen Lang "Brother Lang". He personally likes diving and would comment on all major forums. Chen Lang was mentioned most often as "Brother Lang" in the post bar.
Of course, you can't call him a black nickname. After all, it's a commentator's job. For example, if UZI hangs up and goes to take a shower, if someone calls him a nickname like "Bath Dog", Guan Zeyuan won't call him. This doesn't respect the players.
CPban dropped Thresh, Gnar and Ekko. Gnar shined in this MSI. Koro1's Tathagata Palm directly defeated SKT. Teams began to pay attention to this hero.
A hero who has strong laning ability, can suppress warriors, is very tanky after transformation, and can also start a group fight, gather tanks and start a group fight, all in one hero.
"This is also a duel between two rookie mid laners. Both sides are rookie mid laners with full potential. This year's LPL is full of talents. I don't know who can win the other in this game. Let's wait and see!"
