Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 124: New Season Official Announcement Begins

After a good night's sleep, Li Luo was probably a little nervous because it was his first time doing a live stream yesterday. So he didn't stretch and go to the base canteen until the base's auntie called him for dinner.

As soon as I turned on my phone's mobile data, a flood of friend messages started ringing, causing my phone to lag for a few seconds.

Almost everyone he knew, or anyone he had added as a friend, sent congratulations to Li Luo on WeChat or other social media platforms.

RNG's small WeChat group had already been flooded with 99+ messages from these few people who were idle at home. After clicking in and taking a quick look at the messages from last night to today, Li Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Last night, a small live stream broke many single-day records on the live streaming platform since its inception.

The records of the highest number of online viewers and the highest number of daily gift rewards have been turned into promotional images by the official Xiaoyu (X-Fish) and are circulating all over the internet.

"What's going on? Doesn't anyone have to exercise today?"

Seeing that the group was still chatting idly in the WeChat group, Li Luo replied while eating.

"Holy crap, puppy, you're alive? You're a real tycoon! I'll give you a good thrashing when I get back!"

"2800 million in tips in a single day, are you even human???"

"..."

According to last night's statistics from Xiyu, even without calculating the exact amount of free gifts, the visible large-amount tips and membership card purchases totaled a whopping 2800 million.

The nearly 3000 million RMB in revenue in just four hours stunned everyone watching the live stream and the professional players in the League of Legends community.

Based on an hourly income of 7 million, that's around 100,000 per minute, or 2000 per second. Does this mean your family runs a money printing machine?

The income from one night's live stream is more than the annual salary of a team from one of the weakest teams in the league, which makes many professional players green with envy.

However, Li Luo had seen a lot in his previous life, so he didn't care much about these material things. He readily agreed to the big meal that all the team members wanted and replied to the messages from those who came to wish him well.

Time flies, and the month of live streaming has come to an end in the blink of an eye, with only three days left until the start of the Demacia Cup.

Within a month, Li Luo successfully completed weight training, helped his grandfather, Wu Wukai, reach the Master rank in the Korean server, and then successfully took the top spot in the Korean server in just three days.

With a win rate as high as 87%, he topped the Korean server rankings, although he encountered many professional players along the way.

However, he didn't encounter any of the top-tier individuals, such as Brother Li, Bang, and Master An.

Now, Faker has started his reverse climb, reaching Diamond II in one fell swoop, becoming a prodigy in the Korean professional scene.

Just like godv at the beginning, Faker's playstyle seems to have undergone a complete transformation. It seems that everything has changed, but it also seems that nothing has changed.

However, the media frequently captured images of Faker entering and leaving the recording studio, leaving everyone wondering what the legendary League of Legends player was working on.

The start of the Demacia Cup also marks the end of the transfer window, and all team rosters must be submitted to the head of Tengjing Sports for filing the day before the start of the Demacia Cup.

After RNG's victory in S7, the landscape of the LPL has undergone a dramatic change.

As the three teams that will compete in S7, they are the "Big Three": RNG, WE, and EDG.

Now that RNG has won the championship, the "Royal Kitchen" title that once existed has disappeared into the annals of history. We and EDG, who would have been criticized relentlessly, have also been spared the attacks of the critics.

Although EDG was swept out of the top 16, Clearlove's brilliant jungle play during the S7 All-Star tournament successfully brought back a considerable amount of popularity for the team.

This team, which has been a powerhouse in domestic competitions since ancient times, has become the most popular LPL team after RNG.

With the official announcement date drawing closer, EDG first revealed their roster for S8 on Weibo.

EDG: Manager: Abu

Team Leader: Gimseong
Head Coach: Edg.nofe
Analyst: Hermes
Top laner: Edg.Ray
Jungler: Edg.clearlove, Edg.karsa
Mid laner: Edg.Scout
ADC: Edg.Iboy, Edg.hope
Support: Edg.Meiko
Ray, a newcomer acquired from C9, caused quite a stir. This rising star top laner in the European and American servers has a playstyle that is completely different from the traditional EDG style. The addition of this newcomer has given many fans a glimmer of hope.

Secondly, Karsa, who performed brilliantly at the All-Star game, has also joined Edg's jungle position, rotating with Clearlove.

As for the mid and bot lane duo, they remain the same as last season and do not require any reinforcements.

Upon seeing EDG's roster announcement, some RNG fans couldn't sit still, with thousands flooding RNG's official Weibo account every hour demanding the announcement of the new season's roster.

Initially, the official Weibo account operator wanted to keep the suspense and announce it last, but the fans were not buying it at all and criticized the management for their inaction. They won the S7 championship, yet they were still being criticized by the fans, which amazed netizens.

After Bai Xing made a phone call to Li Luo, she decided not to keep it a secret anymore and directly sent her subordinates to post the roster for the next season on Weibo.

#Rng New Season Roster Announcement# First of all, welcome our players Rng.mole and Rng.tian to Rng for the new season. They will become the main players of Rng's second team and also the rotation players of Rng's main team.

RNG roster for the 2018 Spring Split

Manager: Brother Feng

Team Leader: Shawn
Head Coach: Rng.Chris
Analyst: Rng.Heart
Top lane: Rng.Letme, Rng.Mole
Jungler: Rng.Mlxg, Rng.Tian
Mid laners: Rng.xiaohu, Rng.Cryin
ADC: Rng.Uzi, Rng.able
Support: Rng.Ming
This Weibo post immediately caused a stir across the internet.

Although the two new additions were unfamiliar to everyone, seeing the familiar RNG championship lineup at the top of each position, all the fans spread the word and wept with joy.

As the first LPL team to win the championship, all fans sincerely hoped that RNG could retain all its championship roster and continue to strive for the S8 championship. Now that it has come true, how can we not be excited?

As for Chris, who is in the head coach position, apart from the long-time fans who are still excited, some League of Legends players who joined after Season 5 are completely confused.

But as long as others say Chris is awesome, he can't go wrong by repeating it. For a time, Chris also enjoyed the treatment of a champion.

Fans of other clubs have extremely mixed feelings. They originally wanted to see the champion members go to strengthen their favorite teams, but now that they have seen RNG's official announcement, they can only silently offer their blessings.

In the new season, RNG's every position is fully formed, and it's no exaggeration to say that they are a team that can easily crush IG.

On the other hand, IG, who had previously fought fiercely over the All-Star lineup, is now taking advantage of RNG's popularity and hastily released their own lineup.

Because there are so many Koreans in the entire IG team, including the famous head coach Kim Jeong-soo.

When talking about IG's S8 World Championship title, one cannot ignore all of IG's players, and even more so, IG's amazing head coach, Kim Jung-soo.

This is the legendary coach who successfully helped Principal Wang hold the shield in his left hand (Dota TI shield) and the trophy in his right hand (Worlds Championship trophy).

In a normal historical trajectory, IG would have officially announced Kim Jung-soo's joining the team as the head coach of the League of Legends division in May 2018.

This was precisely shortly after IG's defeat in the Spring Split playoffs, following their 18-game winning streak and final fourth place finish.

But now Principal Wang can't wait any longer, so he directly assigned Coach Jin to IG, determined to capitalize on the popularity of LOL and deliver a stellar performance in the new season.

But this leads to an even more awkward problem: the entire coaching staff of IG is Korean, the top laners are both Korean, and the mid laner is also Korean.

Of the three key positions in the top, middle, and jungle, all but Ning are Korean.

Therefore, this roster is very concise, avoiding the important points and only releasing the player list for the new season.

IG:

Top lane: IG.Duke, IG.TheShy
Jungler: IG.Ning
Mid laner: IG.Rookie
ADC: IG.Jacklove (newcomer) IG.West
Support: IG.Baolan
The new chapter is currently blocked; hopefully it will be released soon.
