LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 195 Forced to Open for Business!

Having completed her studies ahead of schedule, Xi Ran has already secured a position as an English commentator for the LPL, while Wang Yao can still find time to visit her after the match.

However, the two did not stick together as they pleased. Now, as the core of the team, Wang Yao has the right to stay out all night, but in order to achieve a perfect record, he must put his mind back on it.

At the very least, he has to set an example for these newcomers.

After all, the off-field temptations in the esports world have a significant impact on players. There are only two reasons why a player might suddenly become bad: either they're in a relationship or they're getting older.

Of course, the former is more common in general.

Most professional players have questionable taste when it comes to choosing partners. Even a guy like Lin Weixiang with thick eyebrows and big eyes can be attracted to "Mo Family Mechanical Path".

Wang Yao's goal now is to win the championship, so establishing a clear team objective and atmosphere is crucial. He needs to constantly train the players in matches and cultivate their confidence and abilities.

Winning this "pig vs. dog" battle doesn't mean anything for EDG. The reason they won so easily is simply because they practiced some version answers beforehand.

Wang Yao himself is still at his peak.

When the other players have figured out the version's solutions and adapted to the season's changes, that will be the real test for EDG!

This year, EDG faces many opponents in the LPL, including an upgraded version of RNG and the shining trident team IG!

And RW Xia, led by Sima Laozei and Dubidong.

After winning the opening match against RNG, EDG rested for two days before facing their second opponent.

The Snake team, led by Crystal and Mouse, is not as strong as it used to be, and the main players have suffered a serious decline in performance.

However, Snake Esports should have no problem ranking in the top three among the Western Conference teams. But they still couldn't defeat EDG, who were in excellent form.

Mouse and Crystal struggled to hold on in both the top and bottom lanes. Their jungler, Saofen, was decent and caused EDG some trouble, but only a little.

In the later stages of the game, Wang Yao led his team to another 2-0 victory over Snake Team. It is worth mentioning that Wang Yao achieved a total KDA of 24/3/8 in these two games.

His unparalleled skill makes him almost a game-changer in the mid lane, and this might only stop in the latter half of the season when everyone's understanding of the game improves.

After a two-day break, EDG faced their third opponent of the new season: BLG.

BLG is a new capital team established after acquiring the IM team. Uncle Chen did not catch any big fish in the transfer market, so the members are basically the same as last year's lineup.

Among the unique teams in the West, EDG once again crushed BLG 2-0, and the players who took the stage this time were GimGoon, Tian, ​​Lin Weixiang, and Liu Qingsong.

The four newcomers performed far better than Wang Yao had imagined, and his record remained outstanding.

After three matches, Wang Yao's KDA reached an astonishing 25, and the KDAs of the other players were also quite good, mainly because they dominated every match.

EDG's leading performance since the start of the season has completely dispelled the concerns of many fans.

"Wow, are Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong really that good? They're so steady, and what's up with GimGoon in the top lane? That Gangplank is amazing!"

"To be fair, I, GimGoon, was a top player back in GT, and I wasn't weak."

"It can only be said that the mid laner is too strong, at a level that is one level above the rest. This is the influence of a strong mid laner on the entire team."

"Got it. Yao-ge knows the Mid-lane Spirit Binding Technique. The Mid-laner just needs to lead the top, jungle, and bot lanes around." "..."

EDG's roster looks decent, but it's not exactly a super team, at least not compared to their rival KT.

While top laners Flandre and GimGoon are somewhat famous in the LPL, bottom laners Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong are definitely off-the-beaten-path players with some scandals.

It's truly absurd that such a group of players could unleash such astonishing fighting power.

It's worth mentioning, however, that after losing to EDG, RNG also defeated their opponents in the next two matches, including IG.

However, this is not the complete IG team. Although IG retained the original roster from last year, their top laner TheShy recently suffered a hand injury.

The cause of the injury is quite bizarre. Some say that TheShy was encouraged by team leader Aning to fight the trash can one-on-one and accidentally injured his hand. Others say that he was injured because he fell while drunk.

Regardless of the reason, the injury of one of IG's key players did have an impact on the team, and it was understandable that they lost to RNG, whose full roster was intact.

In addition, WE, who were championship contenders last year, have become a weak team after coach Hongmi resigned, starting the season with a 1-2 record.

Apart from Xiye in the mid lane, who performed consistently, everyone else seemed lost, especially Mystic in the bottom lane. Last year, he could hold his own against Uzi and Sima Laozei.

But this year he played like a rookie!

One reason is that the current version is not favorable to ADCs, while another reason is Mystic's personal life.

Rumor has it that Mystic frequents bars, and his stunning good looks make him a real head-turner in those establishments.

Amidst the revelry and festivities, even the best skills can't resist the temptations off the field. The poor performance of the team's coach, Da Jiuzi, has also made WE fans worry about the team's future.

The time soon came to March 2th.

The LPL Spring Regular Season has reached its third and a half week. With the New Year approaching, February 15th will be the eve of the Lunar New Year in 2018. EDG's last match before the New Year will be against FPX.

Since most of FPX's players were snatched away by EDG, their roster is quite weak.

Meanwhile, GimGoon, Tian, ​​Lin Weixiang, and others, facing this unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar FPX team, played with considerable ruthlessness, completely dominating the match to the end.

EDG finished their pre-Lunar New Year league campaign with a four-game winning streak, and their outstanding performance allowed each player to go home and enjoy a good New Year.

Even during the off-season, Wang Yao remains busy, as the LPL officials need him to film some New Year's greeting videos.

EDG also needs the players to film New Year's greeting videos, interact with fans, and hold giveaway events.

With the influx of substantial capital, LPL clubs will undoubtedly become more comprehensive and efficient in terms of public relations and operations.

For example, they could open official club accounts on major social media platforms and hire professionals to manage them.

For example, the RNG club next door does it very well. Their operations staff are even brought in from the entertainment industry, and they are extremely skilled at managing the fan circle.

With the hype of being the first LPL champion, EDG certainly won't lag behind RNG. They have social media accounts and short video productions galore, and the players' workload has increased significantly.

As a core player who accounts for a large portion of EDG's team salary, Wang Yao was also forced to participate in various activities and cooperate with the club to shoot videos.
