I'm the strongest mid laner

Chapter 412 Prestige Edition LCK
"The changes are big enough. LCK is determined to reform!" JackeyLove chatted with Chen Lang and others while eating instant noodles.

Instant noodles are his favorite food.

Due to seafood allergies, JackeyLove sometimes eats instant noodles abroad.

"It won't work if you don't change. In two years of world competitions, you haven't won a single champion~" lqs said coolly.

"You're wrong." Xiaotian chuckled: "We were hanged and beaten!"

"Yes, it's crazy!" JackeyLove gave Xiaotian a thumbs up.

"Actually, SKT is indeed very strong. The problem with them is that they are mostly veteran players, and there are few new-generation players."

Chen Lang took a bite of the bread and said, "This can also be regarded as cultivating the youth training system. Now the youth training students of many domestic teams are passers-by with high scores in Hanbok. The LCK side is a bit short of talent, and they are also anxious."

"It makes sense." Lqs touched his chin and said.

Since S5, LPL has started the era of Yin Hanyuan.

Many outstanding players in the LCK were bought by the LPL at high prices, and the youth academy also bought a lot of high-scoring passers-by in Hanbok.

Originally, this matter was fine, but the problem is that after S5, the LCK has not won a single world championship, and all the championships have been taken away by the LPL.

This matter was directly discussed in South Korea. As a leader in the e-sports industry, South Korea attaches great importance to this aspect, and their system is more professional, so the coaching team is very good.

They thought that the players could continue to be trained, but the results of the past two years proved that their thinking was wrong.

In fact, Korean clubs have also made a lot of money by relying on this wave. Many teams have sold their second team and youth training players to 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 and became the starting mid laner in the summer split. room for growth.

The rise of CP also made LCK pay more attention to those potential players. After all, CP was originally a team formed by a bunch of rookie kings, and they got together to win the championship.

Even though CP is still dominant now, for the LCK teams, they have to think about the future. There are only so many players at this stage, and faker and others are considered veterans. There are not many new generation players type it out.

Faced with this situation, LCK is naturally anxious.

Even if you can't beat CP now, you have to wait to beat them later, and the potential rookies who can't be outstanding are all hollowed out. Wouldn't they be more sad in the future?

Now faker and others can still play, which shows that LCK can achieve some results in the world championship.

What about once they retire?

No one of the new generation of players can carry the banner, so what should they do when they face the teams in the LPL competition area in the future?
It is the thinking caused by this that caused the drastic changes in LCK this time.

With the end of the World Championship, the LCK teams have already started a battle for talent.

"Cast a wide net to passers-by, and there is always a time when you find a treasure."

Although passers-by with high scores may not be able to play on the field, but the score is not high, which means that this person must not be very good.

Which one of the players who can kill the Quartet in the arena is not a high-scoring passer-by king?

"Look, isn't TheShy poached by passers-by with high scores in Hanbok?"

Speaking of this topic, JackeyLove pointed at TheShy.

That's how Chen Lang called TheShy 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 we leave?"

"They have the strength to compete for the championship. If they leave EDG and join another team, they may not have such a good configuration."

lqs and the factory manager are good friends, so I still know a little bit about this matter.

"A team from the LCK contacted them, and EDG is still trying 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. He didn't play much in the summer split this year. Basically, scout played. The management thinks scout has great potential and wants to cultivate it."

It is said that training scout is also because scout is very cheap. This is his first contract, which is considered a child labor contract, and pawn is LPL's maximum salary contract. The gap is too big.

Coupled with the results of EDG in the summer split, scout can completely replace the role of pawn, so why bother to keep pawn?
The top priority of EDG's management is to renew the contract of Deft, and they don't have a particularly strong idea about pawn.

Expensive + injuries, which greatly reduces the value of pawn.

From the perspective of EDG's management, the factory manager is the core, so apart from him, the rest of the players can be replaced.

"How did the talk go?"

lqs shook his head: "I don't know, but it is said that I am not very optimistic."

"Many teams are interested in both deft and pawn during the transfer period, but their requirements are relatively high."

"High demands?" Xiaotian asked curiously.

"They need a title contender."

"Isn't that normal?"

lqs sighed: "There is another requirement, that is, they must be in the same team."

"Huh?" Xiaotian was instantly surprised.

"It's a bit difficult." JackeyLove said.

Both deft and pawn are top-paid players, no matter which team takes them, it will have to pay a huge price.

Moreover, there are only a few teams that can compete for the championship, and there are core players in the team. It is difficult to spend a lot of money to sign two players with a maximum salary, and they are all core players!

Teams that are capable of competing for the championship generally have core players in the solo lane. It is difficult for any team to accept the airborne mid laner and AD player.

After all, the running-in between players is also a problem. If players are 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 a lot of invitations, but he wants to play his brother LOL. The team that signs him must sign pawn."

This is also deft's answer to EDG's management.

deft played very well throughout the year. This year's World Championship was even better than last year, but it was a pity that they met ROX, and they were unfortunately eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Chen Lang nodded and said, "He is indeed a very friendly person."

"There should be no team in China that can take the two of them."

"Why?" JackeyLove looked at Chen Lang curiously.

Chen Lang said with a smile: "There are only a few teams capable of competing for the championship. The team is relatively stable, and there is a quota limit for Han Yuan. Who can take it?"

"They won't go to a team that can't compete for the championship. Deft is only one S championship away. His desire for the championship is actually higher than pawn. After all, pawn has already won the S championship, but he hasn't."

"That's true." JackeyLove nodded.

For a player who has never won the S championship, the S championship is definitely the most attractive thing.

In the LPL, the biggest problem is the quota limit for Shuang Hanyuan, otherwise there must be a team that can accommodate the two of them.

With IMP in LGD, it is impossible to win two Korean dollars, and the same is true for RNG.

WE has shown great potential this season, but mystic is Han Yuan's AD player, and they can't eat deft and pawn.

VG has already released the combination of easyhoon and bengi to compete in the LPL, and there is another OMG that is okay.

However, the owner of OMG is not particularly rich, and the defeat of Galaxy Battleship in S5 made him understand that it is not enough to choose star players together to achieve good results.

What's more, OMG last year's middle and lower double Cs were very good. icon and smlz are considered very strong players, but they just need a little time to grow.

Last year they had been working together for a year, and this year is definitely better than last year. The future of OMG is still relatively bright. At this time, there is a high probability that they will not buy high-risk gambles such as deft and pawn.

It can only be said that most teams can't give what deft wants, 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, CP did not have any troubles. After all, all of their contracts still have one year left, and they will start preparing for the battle next year with the same team.

This time, their goal is the S7 championship, and their ambitions are even greater. They want to make history and win three consecutive championships!
"Anyway, none of this has anything 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, and when the Spring Split begins, we will start working hard again."

"This year is more tiring than last year. Everyone wants to accomplish 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 have a vacation. He said, "Taking this opportunity, how about we go out and have fun together?"

"Okay!" Everyone responded one after another.

In the next period of time, all CP members rested and went out to play, while other teams actively prepared for the German Cup.

In the end, EDG won the German Cup, and as time went by, there were more and more news about Deft leaving EDG, which also made EDG fans start to make noise.

At the annual awards ceremony at the end of the year, CP swept the awards again. This time, all CP members won the Best Team Award. JackeyLove and lqs laughed very happily.

Last year, they were supposed to be the two of them, but they were not selected. For this reason, Chen Lang came on stage to criticize the official injustice for his teammates.

This year, CP won the championship again, RNG and EDG fell to the quarterfinals, and the official staff didn't do anything anymore.

You know, when EDG and RNG were eliminated, there was a lot of scolding on the Internet. If the official CP award is blacked out again this year, the audience will definitely scold their mothers!
The day before the transfer market, Riot was the first to drop a blockbuster.

Riot has added another large-scale event, the Intercontinental Competition!
After S5 added MSI, the spring champions of each division will go to participate in the battle, 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, it takes too long to play one S game a year.

May is MSI, and July is Intercontinental.

The intercontinental competition is different from 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 area is more important.

Take the results of the S6 World Championship as an example. Even though CP is the final champion, the three teams in the LCK are actually stronger than the LPL on average.

In other words, according to the rules of the intercontinental competition, LCK is greater than LPL.

Because neither RNG nor EDG can beat the LCK team, no matter how strong CP is, it cannot be supported by itself.

All along, everyone has been keen to discuss that the xx division is the first division, and now this intercontinental competition is to some extent an explanation to the public.

Whoever can win the intercontinental competition will be the strongest division!
Of course, it is mainly the competition between LPL and LCK. After all, these two divisions are currently recognized as the strongest divisions.

The LPL belongs to the Asian competition, which consists of only three divisions, LPL, LCK and LMS.

When Riot released the news of the Intercontinental Games, the LCK was gearing up to win back.

"Intercontinental, our chance for revenge!"

"We lost the championship two years ago. This time we are comparing the overall strength of the division. Our Korean team's performance in the S competition is much better than that of the LPL. How do they compare?"

"Why do I feel that this is a game that Riot deliberately set up for our division, to comfort us for two years of failure?"

"Ah Yigu, this is a game we must win!"

"Three teams, SKT, SSG, which other team can go?"

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 of winning the LPL.

In the past two years, they have repeatedly lost to the LPL team in the finals, which also made the confidence of the Koreans 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.

"I'm dying of laughter, the Koreans are so excited about the intercontinental game, which has nothing to do with the club~"

"Be considerate of them, after all, I'm afraid of losing."

"To be reasonable, LPL does not seem to have an advantage against LCK. The intercontinental competition has to prove one thing. Is LPL stronger or CP stronger?"

"I'm wondering which three domestic teams will go? CP, RNG and WE?"

"WE??? Didn't you take my EDG seriously?"

"Don't go to EDG, it's embarrassing to go, be obedient, give up this spot, the big guys won't scold you."

"If you count on 4396, don't be kidding. The waste Mingkai is the top eight every year, and his words are good~"

Some people think that the LPL has a better chance of winning the intercontinental game, while some people think that the LCK has a better chance of winning the intercontinental game.

The enthusiasm for the Intercontinental Tournament only lasted for one day. The transfer period market opened on the second day, and various major news emerged one after another. EDG was the first to release big news.

"Essentials and contestants 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.

It didn't take long for heavy news to appear on the LCK side.

deft and pawn joined KT together, and RNG's mata also joined KT, LCK formed a galaxy battleship!
The news that RNG broke up with Mata has not been released yet, but South Korea has already released the information that Mata joined forces with Deft and Pawn to hit the S crown again!

KT entered the World Championship in S5, but failed to achieve good results.

This year their lineup is extremely luxurious, just to hit the championship.

ROX disbanded after winning the last championship in the K Cup. The players are still discussing which team to cooperate with again. They originally wanted to continue playing together for another year.

However, Smeb was the first to be convinced by Mata.

He joined KT.

In KT's original lineup, except for the old captain Score, all other four players were kicked out.

Top lane smeb, jungle score, mid lane pawn, bottom lane deft and mata, super lineup!
Except for the two SSW champion members, mat and pawn, although the other three did not win the championship, their strength is beyond doubt.

Even the top laner smeb was once placed in the ranks of the best top laners and was discussed!
