The next day, LPL officials announced the team roster for next season.
On the basis of the original twelve teams, S8 will add four new armies.
The first is the two teams VG and YM that climbed up to the LPL through the LSPL. From then on, the LSPL will be renamed LDL, and there will be no promotion and relegation games.
Then there are two new teams that entered through external bidding, RW sponsored by Player Nation, and V5 organized by the son of the gambling king.
The influx of four new teams in one breath shows the huge dividends brought by WE Bird's Nest home trophy in the S7 Global Finals.
However, this also means that the competition next season will be very fierce.
There are still only eight spots in the playoffs, but there are sixteen teams, which means that half of the teams can go home to fish after finishing the regular season.
Not to mention the new troops, even some old clubs are feeling great pressure.
The wave of the new era has arrived, and there is no guarantee that anyone will be eliminated in this wave.
After this official announcement, the LPL transfer period has completely entered a white-hot stage.
BLG has appointed its substitute mid laner Mole, the future all-around fighter Xiao Dongbei.
LNG's Crystal Brother's hand injury seriously affected his condition. It happened that Asura, the ADC player from WE's youth training, had good results in trial training, so he immediately decided to buy him.
LGD originally planned to compete for Kandi's reinforcements, but failed to grab vg, so they simply started to mess up, letting go of imp, who was in declining condition, and even let go of top lane swordsman Jinoo.
EDG was so happy that they immediately kicked away Aguang and Ray, who had taken the blame for the World Championship, and signed the powerful top laner Jinoo.
The new army RW was crazy about missing out, first they got Doinb who left JD, then they signed Mouse who was lost by EDG, and then they took over SN's crazy jungler H4cker who had a serious ups and downs last season.
The prostitute's YM team is much worse. Almost all its players were sold out. Only then did they qualify for the LPL. Now they can only make ends meet by picking up rags.
SN realized the hero pool problem of mid laner Fenfen, so they spent a lot of money to buy Knight from YM, and the jungler was Magic who was invincible in training matches from WE's youth training.
OMG lost Smlz and selected Chelly from the secondary league to take over.
RNG failed to hook up with Holy Spear Brother, and the competition with Wolong did not go well, so the original team simply continued to prepare for next season.
……
On this day, WE finally announced the news of Wolong leaving the team.
"The best goodbye for us is to meet on the field!"
Seeing this slogan on the poster, countless fans burst into tears.
"Damn it, I was having fun eating melons, but my house collapsed!"
"Woooooo, Kangdi has left, and now Wolong has also left. What will WE do next season?"
"There is no way, Wolong's worth is too high, Xiao Po Team can't even compete!"
"I'm so panicked. Will there be bad news later?"
"Damn it, which team did Wolong join? Why is there no news at all?"
"I wonder, will Wolong win a Grand Slam honor and directly choose to retire?"
A few minutes later, WE issued another official announcement that support player Ben would leave the team after consultation.
It is too difficult for WE. We want to keep the championship lineup, but we are unable to do so.
With no other choice, we can only settle for the next best thing, giving priority to renewing the contract with Double C and the top order.
As long as the double c is still there, WE's popularity will not be bad.
As for top laner 957, although he won the FMVP, his age is such that some teams are worried that he will decline quickly, so the price is not outrageous.
WE cobbled together and reluctantly renewed the contracts of three people. With the addition of the newcomers discovered by Zhuge Liang in advance, at least they will have a certain degree of competitiveness next season.
……
The entire LPL, including overseas divisions, are paying close attention to Wolong's whereabouts.
In particular, the teams that were aiming to chase Wolong were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
About half an hour later, the V5 official blog, which only a few dozen people followed, was created and the second post was posted to celebrate the team’s entry into the LPL.
"The mighty dragon! Crouching dragon soaring into the sky, mighty and domineering!"
Good guy, copywriter thief? Second grade, shame on you!
However, the news spread and quickly shocked the entire circle.
"Here I go, is Wolong giving up chasing the championship?"
"After becoming famous, Wolong chose to go to the countryside to support education?"
"It seems that the son of the gambling king is still rich, and even Principal Wang can't win!"
"Brothers, predict the record of V5 next year. I guess I will be on the edge of the playoffs."
"A team that has nothing, do you still expect it to win the championship?"
"Let's see if V5 can buy some high-quality goods. If we are lucky, we might make it to the playoffs."
"Well, if the official announcement is made earlier, maybe some big-name players will come to join Wolong for Wolong's sake. How many free agents are there now?"
Just as netizens were commenting on the official blog, V5 released several updates one after another.
Former OMG team ADC player Smlz joins V5 as a free agent!
Former LNG team support player Duan transferred to V5!
Zz1tai, the former mid laner of the LNG team, has transferred to join and will transform into a top laner next season!
Former YM team jungler Tian transferred to V5!
Four players have made official announcements one after another, and players have mixed opinions on this.
"It's so refreshing! You can't survive as a mid laner with such a posture, so why don't you go to the top lane again?"
"There is absolutely no problem with the old thief's strength. It's just his character that depends on coach Wolong's training!"
"I've only heard of YM's golden left hand. Where did this Tian come from?"
"Xiao Duan is the support hand-picked by Mr. Gou. He was quite eye-catching in VG before. He transferred to LNG last season and performed well. Are you willing to sell to V5?"
"Damn, where's the mid laner? Who is the mid laner?"
"It's hard to comment on this lineup. It's not as luxurious as I imagined, but it's not shabby either."
In fact, being able to get this lineup is somewhat thanks to the help of WE.
V5 had a three-party transaction with WE and LNG. Ben and Asura went to LNG, and LNG was willing to show off its attitude and small segments. Without WE's mediation, at least the small segments of LNG would definitely not be sold.
In addition, the old thief was cut off from RW, and many of them were contributed by Xiye and the old thief py.
As for the garlic bastard who is not well known at the moment, he was originally going to go to SN as a gift for his left hand. Zhuge Liang expressed his willingness to sign Xiaotian with a higher contract. The prostitute teacher who was worried about money didn't say anything. He said he agreed.
The process of signing these four people was relatively easy.
What really cost Zhuge Liang a lot of thought was the mid laner.
His contract, or rather the current situation, is a bit tricky.
Fortunately, after spending a lot of money and using some connections, the problem was finally solved smoothly.
That night, the V5 official blog announced the final mid laner.
Former LGD team mid laner Godv has transferred to V5!
As soon as the official announcement came out, it immediately stirred up waves.
"I was shocked when I stepped on the horse. Wolong actually got Wei Shen?"
"Isn't the monster Yingying hidden by LGD? It was said that he was kicked out before?"
"I heard that Wei Shen plans to switch to a chicken game. Does he still have the heart to play LOL?"
"I will never forget the battle between Wutian and Buddha!"
"Gan, the youth of labor and capital is back, choose the bright moon for your skin!"
"This man was indeed a genius, but it was a pity that he died of inflation. I look forward to Wolong's ideological transformation work."
