Xiaohuahua was unemployed at home. After the team disbanded, many teams offered him an olive branch.
At that time, he and smeb agreed that they would join a team together and compete for the championship.
In the bottom lane, Pray and Gorilla are looking for a team together. Because the bottom lane is a two-man lane, tacit understanding is more important.
The two have been playing together for a long time, and there is no need to adjust their coordination. In addition, Pray and Gorilla's performance in the World Championship was not bad, and there are many teams interested in them.
In fact, all ROX members are jealous of many teams. When this team announced its disbandment, the LCK did cause a certain shock.
It's a pity that there are no sponsors in Korea. In addition, these players are not new players. Their values have been built up after two years, and ordinary sponsors cannot afford them.
Investors who can take advantage of it also have their own teams, such as Samsung and communications companies like SKT. They all have their own teams, so it is impossible for them to invest in ROX.
Mainly due to Riot's requirements, a club can only have one team in the league.
Those who want to sponsor cannot vote, and those who don’t want to sponsor cannot afford to vote.
"Brother, why did you join KT?" Xiao Peanut was chatting with smeb in the game.
We clearly agreed to join the same team together at that time, why did it suddenly come out that smeb wanted to join KT?
Smeb was also a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Wanghu..."
"It was originally agreed that we would join a team, but there were few teams that met our requirements."
Little Peanut said anxiously: "Did you really join KT? Is everything said online true?"
smeb: "Well, we want to find a team with the strength to compete for the championship, but the outside world cannot satisfy us..."
They face the same environment as deft and pawn. Teams in the LCK that have the ability to compete for the championship have their own core players, so they will definitely not be introduced to them.
Let's go to other competition regions. Relatively speaking, the strength is worse than LPL and LCK, but LPL only has a quota limit of two Han Yuan, which makes them very embarrassed.
Prayer and Gorilla are better. After all, the bottom lane duo is tied together. It's really not difficult for them to find a team together. Most teams can accept a C position and support.
Xiaohuahua hurriedly said: "SKT didn't contact you? They talked to me and are interested in letting us join..."
Except for the middle and lower players in SKT, all players in other positions chose to leave the team.
In fact, the only team that is eyeing smeb and Peanut is SKT. Other teams only want one of them instead of two.
smeb typed: "I want to beat them more than joining SKT."
"With Faker on that team, the spotlight will always belong to him alone. Even if we go there, we can only commit ourselves to his light. I am not willing to be a green leaf for others!"
"I think you should have this idea too."
Whether it is Smeb or Little Peanut, they are both arrogant and arrogant people. If they are capable and famous, will they be willing to assist Faker?
For smeb, there is a fundamental difference between joining KT and SKT.
SKT belongs to faker alone. His imprint on this team is too deep and no one can eliminate this influence.
KT is different. Even though the old captain is in KT, in fact he, Mata and others joined KT, and everyone competes for the championship together.
If he joins SKT, it will be to assist Faker in his quest for the championship.
The difference between the two is huge.
If we go to KT and win the championship, smeb will be the champion by being his big brother.
If SKT wins the championship, then he is just a thug, and everyone will put the most important factor in winning the championship on faker instead of smeb.
This is something smeb can't stand. As a person who has the ability to be the big brother of a team, why should he be someone else's little brother?
And, there is the most important point.
The money given by SKT is not much, far less than that of KT.
Comparing the two, smeb chose to go to KT instead of SKT.
Little Peanut was silent for a moment, he had to admit that what Smeb said made sense.
But what’s the use if you can’t join a team competing for the championship?
For a player like him, competing for the championship is the only goal.
KT might have chosen him if they didn't have score, but with score as a jungler, it would be impossible to choose him.
The core of SSG is the transfer jungler An Zhang, and Little Peanut is also not favored by SSG.
There are a few teams in the LPL that are interested in him, but he feels that the strength of the other teams is not good enough.
"Brother, I wish you good luck." Little Peanut closed the dialog box with smeb, and he began to think deeply about his career.
At the same time, as the transfer period passes day by day, all major competition areas are rushing to recruit players, and each team is making official announcements.
There are some players who have agreed to join a team together, such as smb and mata.
There is also an operation done by clubs, such as easyhoon and bengi.
RNG officially announced that mata and looper have left the team, and they are preparing to create an all-Chinese team.
In Bai Xing's view, the LPL already has a champion.
CP is now at its peak, and it is very difficult to win the championship with them. Instead of spending a lot of money to recruit, it is better to use potential newcomers to prepare for the future.
In addition, even if they can really win the championship, their influence will be different. After all, CP is a second-championship team and is aiming for a third championship.
Even if an average team wins the championship, its impact in all aspects will not be as good as that of CP.
Once you have a championship, the championship is no longer so precious.
Simply come to an all-Chinese class. This way, if you can win the championship, it will be full of topics.
It's a different kind of enthusiasm.
Although LOL is a competition between clubs and has nothing to do with national honor, in fact, when it comes to the S competition, the audience in each division will also strongly support the teams in their own divisions, which is evident.
In terms of marketing, RNG is the ancestor. UZI has its current position in the LPL, and RNG is indispensable.
Several top teams have changed, but the backbone teams have maintained their original teams and continue to compete in the LPL.
...
EDG Club.
The factory director and Abu were talking together.
"deft and pawn have definitely joined KT, we can't keep them." Abu was a little discouraged.
The factory director sighed: "Pawn's departure has little impact on us, but it is a bit difficult to find AD players of similar level to him in deft."
During this year's transfer period, there are not many popular AD players.
"Have you contacted Pray?"
Abu shook his head: "He can't do it. He has to be bound to the assistant to play in the game, so he can't come to us."
EDG already has a scout, Han Yuan, so naturally there is no way to meet Pray's requirements.
"How about we find a domestic AD and look for Han Yuan in the top order?" the factory director said.
Abu thought for a moment and said, "Then how do you communicate with him?"
What the Chinese and Korean combinations fear most is communication problems, which sometimes happen in just a moment, and if they don't communicate well, it's easy to make mistakes in coordination.
After all, the game is not a casual one. Once you miss the opportunity, you have really missed it.
"Scout can speak Chinese well now. I can ask him to help translate it when the time comes." the factory director replied.
"It's not impossible." Abu thinks this is a feasible plan.
"Then I'll go find the top laner and see if you have any players you recommend?"
The factory director said: "Duke, huni, and smeb should be the most outstanding top laners during the current transfer period. Ssumday's contract seems to have expired."
Mingkai often meets professional players in the high-scoring rankings of the Korean server, so he has a relatively clear understanding of the strength of each player.
These top laners are all very strong. The two sides have fought against each other since Huni was in S5, which is also the reason why FNC beat EDG 4-0.
At that time, huni directly defeated the opponent koro1 and suppressed the game. In the end, DG lost to the top eight of FNC and went home.
Needless to say, smeb performed very well in the S6 World Championship, except for TheShy.
Even Duke, the runner-up team, is inferior to Smeb. Audiences around the world also think so, thinking that Duke can only be ranked third.
When Ssumday was in KT, he lost to ROX in S5 and stopped in the quarterfinals.
They are not bad in terms of resume or personal ability. The transfer period has opened and they are also top laners in the first tier. Many teams are very interested in them.
"Then I'll get in touch and have a look." Abu nodded.
"As for AD, just mention one in the second team."
If the top laner is determined to be Han Yuan, the bottom lane AD can only choose a domestic player.
However, Abramovich's journey to find a top laner was not a pleasant one.
smeb basically declined invitations from all clubs, and based on deft's standards, he was basically sure to go to KT.
Huni is currently undergoing trial training with SKT. He has made a lot of money during his European tour. Now he wants to win the S championship. EDG is much less tempting to him than SKT...
In any case, SKT has been the runner-up for two years, won the league championship, and also went to MSI. Basically, joining SKT means you have guaranteed tickets to the World Championship, and even the finals!
EDG's record in the top eight every year is somewhat unsatisfactory, and Huni is not that interested in joining EDG.
Ssumday is quite interested, but teams in North America and Europe are also competing for him, so he is considering it.
"How about we make two preparations and find another Han Yuan AD as a backup." Abu discussed with the factory director.
"Okay." The factory director nodded.
"But there is a problem. The communication between the bottom duo is a problem. I think it is better to try the domestic duo. Maybe the cooperation will be better."
"You see, UZI and Mata are both the world's top ADs and supports, but their chemical reaction is not that good..."
After hearing what the factory director said, Abu pondered for a moment and had to admit that this was indeed the case.
Their current energy is still mainly focused on singles. As for AD, they can use the second team to top them first. If it doesn't work, they can just replace them when the time comes.
"I found a good prospect this year. He is already in the youth training of the second team. Let him come to the base for a trial training in the past two days." Abramovich said.
"This kid's reaction speed is pretty fast. I think his future upper limit should be pretty good."
The factory director asked curiously: "Who is it?"
"IBOY."
"I haven't heard of it, but if it works, it shouldn't be a big problem." The factory director smiled.
The factory director recognized Abu's ability and vision.
A player who can make him feel good will never be too bad.
"Looking back now, the most correct decision we made last year was to sign Scout. Otherwise, both Pawn and Deft would leave this year, which would be a heavy blow to us."
The factory director sighed: "Yes, if I were not prepared, I would probably just run away with him this year."
Whether you can make it to the playoffs or not is a question. How about making it to the S-game~
Although scout is not as mature as pawn in all aspects, it is still his first year after all. After a year of growth, he will definitely get better and better.
In the director's mind, Pawn is indeed the mid laner who can be replaced by Scout.
...
Chen Lang and others were still enjoying the benefits of the transfer period, but they didn't expect that something went wrong on their own side.
Mainly because of the huge temptation!
Last year, IG was eliminated, and Principal Wang was furious. He vowed to make it to the World Championship this year.
Then, he contacted players aggressively during the transfer period, hoping to bring them in with high salaries.
During the transfer period, no one of the big fish in the market took a fancy to IG. This configuration is really bad.
Even if I don’t know IG as a team, I have no idea of joining IG after watching them win games.
It's just that Gemini is so outstanding that it's intimidating.
The top players had no idea of joining IG, and Principal Wang, who was almost there, didn't like it. Seeing that the door to the transfer period was about to close, he was really anxious.
So, he started negotiating with the club management and prepared to poach people!
Privately, Principal Wang called Chen Lang: "As long as you are willing to join IG, I will give you a Ferrari!"
"This is a gift from four people. I will still match your contract salary. As for whether the club will release you, I will personally discuss it. As long as you have the idea of joining IG, I will definitely make it happen for you!"
Chen Lang was favored by Principal Wang. Principal Wang wanted Chen Lang to join IG as early as two years ago. The negotiation was almost successful, but because of Su Xiaoluo, Chen Lang refused to join IG.
Now, with two crowns in hand, it is even less possible for him to join IG.
Chen Lang had no choice but to reply with a smile: "Thank you principal for your consideration, but I have no idea of changing teams now. My goal this year is to win three consecutive championships. I will consider it again after next year..."
Principal Wang was unwilling to give up like this. He wanted to lobby again, but considering the achievements of three consecutive championships, it was indeed not so easy to be persuaded.
Although it was very generous for him to give a Ferrari, for Chen Lang, a car is not expensive. His contract is worth tens of millions, and he is the top player in the LPL. If he wants, he can buy it himself.
Not to mention that he still controls his contract. His annual live broadcast contract income is tens of millions!
During the World Championships, although he did not broadcast live, he received millions of gifts while the screen was black, all from netizens!
Not only Chen Lang, but also the entire CP team received a lot of gifts. After winning the championship, LPL netizens were very enthusiastic and kept giving them gifts.
Chen Lang rejected Principal Wang, but someone agreed.
That's TheShy.
Rookie is Korean, and he has a good relationship with TheShy, and then he was persuaded.
When Principal Wang heard the news that TheShy was joining IG, he smiled so hard that he immediately started negotiations with CP.
