"This change is big enough, lck is determined to reform!" jackeylove was eating instant noodles and chatting with Chen Lang and others.
Instant noodles are his favorite food.
Due to seafood allergy, jackeylove sometimes eats instant noodles when abroad.
"It won't work if we don't change. I haven't won a single championship in world-class competitions in two years~" lqs said coolly.
"You said it wrong." Xiaotian chuckled: "You were beaten by us!"
"Okay, it's crazy!" jackeylove gave Xiaotian a thumbs up.
"Actually, skt is indeed very strong. Their problem is that they have mostly veterans and few new generation players."
Chen Lang took a bite of the bread and said: "This can be regarded as a youth training system. Nowadays, the youth trainees of many domestic teams are high-scoring players in the Korean server. There is a lack of talent in LCK, and they are also anxious."
"It makes sense." lqs said, touching his chin.
Since S5, LPL has started the era of attracting Han Yuan.
Many outstanding LCK players were bought by LPL at high prices, and many high-scoring passers-by in the Korean server were also bought from the youth training.
Originally, this matter was nothing, but the problem is that after S5, lck did not win a single world championship, and all the championships were taken away by lpl.
This incident directly caused a stir in South Korea. As a leader in the e-sports industry, South Korea attaches great importance to this aspect. Their system is also more professional, so the coaching team will be excellent.
They originally thought that players could continue to be trained, but the results in the past two years proved that their thinking was wrong.
In fact, Korean clubs have also made a lot of money relying on this wave. Many teams have sold players from their second teams and youth training to the LPL at high prices to make money.
For example, SKT’s substitute mid laner Scout.
After being bought by edg from skt, he replaced pawn as the starting mid laner in the summer split and performed well on the court. Although his performance in the world championship was not satisfactory, this was the first year of his career after all, and he still had enough
room for growth.
The rise of cp has also made lck pay more attention to those potential players. After all, cp is a team formed by a bunch of newcomers, and they got together and won the championship.
Even if CP is still dominant now, for the LCK teams, they have to consider the future. There are only so many players at this stage, plus Faker and others are considered veterans, and there are not many new generation players.
Type it out.
Faced with this situation, lck was naturally anxious.
Even if you can't beat CP now, you still have to wait until later to defeat them. And if the potential newcomers who can't stand out have been hollowed out, won't they be even more miserable in the future?
Now that faker and others can still play, lck can achieve some results in the world championship.
What happens once they retire?
No one of the new generation of players can carry the banner, so what should they do when facing teams from the LPL division in the future?
It was the thinking triggered by this that led to this drastic change in lck.
The World Championship is over, and the LCK teams have already started competing for players.
"Cast a wide net at passers-by, and you will always find treasures."
Although a high-scoring passer may not necessarily be able to perform well on the field, the fact that the score is not high means that this person is definitely not very good.
Among the players who can kill everyone on the field, which one is not a high-scoring passer?
"Look, isn't theshy poached by passers-by with high scores in the Korean server?"
Speaking of this topic, jackeylove pointed at theshy.
This is how theshy was called by Chen Lang to join cp.
"But are deft and pawn really going to leave?" jackeylove suddenly thought of the previous news about edg.
"It feels unreliable." Xiaotian said: "Edg has money and the configuration is not bad, why should you leave?"
"They are capable of competing for the championship. If they leave edg and join another team, they may not have such a good configuration."
LQS and the factory director are good friends, so we still have some inside knowledge about this matter.
"A team from lck has contacted them, and edg is still working hard to negotiate and wants to keep deft." lqs said.
"Where's Pawn?" jackeylove asked curiously.
lqs glanced at him and said: "Pawn has a serious back injury and hasn't played much in this summer split. Scout is basically playing. The management thinks Scout has great potential and wants to train him."
It is said that Scout is trained because Scout is very cheap. This is his first contract, which is considered a child labor contract, while Pawn is the maximum salary contract of LPL. The gap is too big.
In addition, judging from the results of edg in the summer competition, scout can completely replace the role of pawn, so why bother to keep pawn?
The top priority of edg's management is to renew deft's contract, and they don't have particularly strong thoughts about pawn.
Expensive + injuries, which greatly reduces the value of pawn.
In the view of edg's management, the factory director is the core, so apart from him, the other players can be replaced.
"So how did the conversation go?"
lqs shook his head: "I don't know either, but it is said that it is not optimistic."
"Many teams are interested in both deft and pawn during the transfer period, but their requirements are relatively high..."
"High requirements?" Xiaotian asked curiously.
"They need a championship team."
"Isn't that normal?"
lqs sighed: "There is another requirement, that is, they must be in the same team."
"Ah?" Xiaotian was instantly surprised.
"This is a bit difficult," jackeylove said.
Both deft and pawn are top-paid players, and no matter which team takes them, they will have to pay a huge price.
Moreover, there are only a few teams that can compete for the championship, and there are still core players in the team. It is difficult to spend a lot of money to sign two top-paid players, and they are both in core positions!
Teams that are capable of competing for the championship usually have core players in the solo lane. It is difficult for any team to accept the sudden drop in of two players, mid laner and AD.
After all, the running-in between team members is also a problem. If a team member is replaced rashly, everyone will have to start running-in again.
Then, lqs revealed another big news.
"In fact, deft is very popular. He has received many invitations. But he wants to play brother lol, and the team that signs him must sign pawn."
This is also deft’s answer to edg management.
deft performed very well throughout the year, and this year's World Championship was a little better than last year. It was a pity that they encountered rox, and they were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
Chen Lang nodded and said, "He is indeed a person who values friendship."
"There should be no team in the country that can take on both of them."
"Why?" jackeylove looked at Chen Lang curiously.
Chen Lang said with a smile: "There are only a few teams that are capable of competing for the championship. The team is relatively stable, and Han Yuan has a quota limit. Who can take it?"
"They will not go to a team that is not capable of competing for the championship. Deft is only one short of an S championship. His desire for the championship is actually higher than that of Pawn. After all, Pawn has already won the S championship, and he has not yet."
"That's true." jackeylove nodded.
For a player who has never won an S championship, the S championship is definitely the most attractive thing.
In the lpl, the biggest problem is the quota limit for the two Han Yuans, otherwise there will definitely be a team that can accommodate the two of them.
LGD has imp, so it is impossible to have sex with two Korean women, and the same is true for RNG.
We have shown great potential this season, but Mystic is Han Yuan's AD player, so they can't take down deft and pawn.
VG has revealed that the combination of easyhoon and bengi will compete in the lpl, and there is also an omg that can be used.
However, the boss of OMG is not particularly rich, and the failure of Galaxy Battleship in S5 made him understand that good results cannot be achieved by selecting star players together.
What's more, omg's mid and lower double C's last year were very good, and icon and smlz are both very strong players, but they just need some time to grow.
They have been working together for a year last year, and this year will definitely be better than last year. The future of omg is relatively bright. At this time, there is a high probability that they will not buy high-risk gambles like deft and pawn.
It can only be said that what deft wants cannot be given by ordinary teams, so the teams he can go to are limited.
Edg has reached a stalemate with Deft. Waiting for the market to open during the transfer period, there will inevitably be a bigger storm.
However, there is no turmoil for CP. After all, all their members' contracts are still for one year, and they will still start preparing for the game next year with the same team.
This time, their goal is to win the S7 championship. Their ambition is even greater. They want to create history and win three consecutive championships!
"Anyway, these have nothing to do with us, let's take a good rest~" Xiaotian laughed.
Chen Lang said with a smile: "Now we have a chance to rest. When the spring competition starts, we will start working hard again."
"This year is more tiring than last year. Everyone wants to achieve that goal."
"Yes." jackeylove and others nodded.
"Fortunately, I don't have to go to the German Cup this time. It's a rare holiday."
Chen Lang was also very happy to be able to take a vacation. He said, "Taking this opportunity, how about we go out and play together?"
"Okay!" Everyone responded one after another.
In the next period of time, all members of CP took a rest and went out to play, while other teams actively prepared for the German Cup.
In the end, edg won the German Cup. As time went by, there were more and more news about deft leaving edg, which also made edg fans start to make a fuss.
At the annual awards ceremony at the end of the year, CP once again swept the awards. This time all CP members won the Best Team Award. JackeyLove and LQS laughed very happily.
It was supposed to be them last year, but they were not selected. Chen Lang went on stage to criticize the official injustice for his teammates.
This year, cp won the championship again, rng and edg fell in the quarterfinals, and the official staff stopped making mistakes.
You know, when edg and rng were eliminated, the whole network was scolding them. If the official hacks the cp award again this year, the audience will definitely scold them!
...
The day before the transfer market, Riot Games took the lead in dropping a bombshell.
Riot Games once again adds a large-scale event, the Intercontinental Tournament!
After MSI was added to s5, the spring champions of each division will participate in the competition, which is also the only official event after the s game.
The purpose is to increase the popularity of LoL and the influence of the event. After all, playing one S-game a year is too long.
May is the msi, and July is the intercontinental competition.
The intercontinental competition is different from the MSI and S competitions. It is not a competition between clubs but a confrontation between divisions!
There is not only one team participating in the intercontinental competition, but four teams.
In the end, the winner will be determined by points.
Therefore, it is not enough for a team to be strong, but the overall strength of the competition region is more important.
Take the results of the S6 World Championship as an example. Even though cp is the final champion, the three teams of lck are actually stronger than lpl on average.
In other words, according to the rules of the intercontinental competition, lck is greater than lpl.
Because both rng and edg are no match for the lck team, no matter how strong cp is, it will still be difficult to defeat them alone.
Historically, everyone has been keen to discuss that the xx division is the first division, and now this intercontinental competition is, to a certain extent, an explanation to the public.
Whoever can win the intercontinental competition will be the strongest division!
Of course, the main thing is the competition between lpl and lck. After all, these two divisions are currently recognized as the strongest divisions.
lpl belongs to the Asian competition, which consists of only three divisions, lpl, lck and lms.
When Riot released the news about the intercontinental competition, lck was gearing up to win back.
"Intercontinental competition, our chance for revenge!"
"We lost the championship two years ago. This time we are competing on the overall strength of the division. Our Korean team's performance in the S competition was much better than that of the LPL. How can they compare?"
"Why do I feel that this is a game deliberately set up by Riot for our division to comfort us after two years of failure?"
"Ah Yigu, this is a game we must win!"
"There are three teams, skt and ssg. Which other team can I go to?"
Korean netizens attach great importance to the intercontinental competition, and the popularity of this topic remains high.
After all, this is the only game they have a chance to win in the lpl.
In the past two years, they have repeatedly lost to LPL teams in the finals, which has also caused the confidence of the Koreans to drop a lot. The intercontinental competition is another opportunity for them to see the light of day.
Compared with the atmosphere of lck, lpl is much more optimistic.
"It makes me laugh. Koreans are still so excited about a competition like the Intercontinental Championship that has nothing to do with the club~"
"Be considerate to them, after all, they are afraid of losing."
"To be fair, lpl does not seem to have an advantage over lck. The intercontinental competition will prove one point. Which one is stronger, lpl or cp?"
"I'm wondering which three domestic teams will go? cp, rng and we?"
"We??? don't you take my edg seriously?"
"Edg, don't go. It would be embarrassing if you go. Be obedient and give up this spot. The big guy won't criticize you."
"I hope 4396 won't be joking. The trash Mingkai will be in the top eight every year, with eight strokes and eight strokes~"
Some people think that lpl has a better chance of winning in the intercontinental competition, while some people think that lck has a better chance of winning in the intercontinental competition.
The popularity of the intercontinental competition only lasted for one day. The transfer market opened the next day, and major news emerged one after another. EDG was the first to release the big news.
"Jing and players deft..."
The edg official blog directly announced the news that the contracts with deft and pawn were not renewed, and the two became free agents.
Not long after, big news appeared on lck.
deft and pawn joined kt together, and mata from rng also joined kt, and lck formed the galaxy battleship!
