You actually want me to...

"How was your trip, Aban? Was it fun?"

"I'm not sure if it's fun or not, but the food is definitely delicious."

"???"

After some discussion, everyone looked at Roland with mixed feelings of laughter and tears. This guy spent more than ten minutes researching the entire trip, and it was all about food. The only tourist attractions he visited were just places he stopped by while eating. He spent the rest of his time eating and sleeping. It was no different from not going at all.

"So you just changed your location to play on your phone and sleep?"

"You don't understand. My kind of travel, where I stay when I like it and leave when I don't, is the real way to relax in this era. It's an attitude towards life."

"So your attitude towards life is that you want to have a romantic encounter but end up getting scammed out of a thousand dollars?"

"No, can we stop dwelling on this?"

Seeing these two clowns in front of them, the rest of the team couldn't help but laugh out loud. By this time, the two top laners had finished their handover and gone to their new clubs. Although the others were a little surprised, they didn't object at all and even gave Flandre a warm welcome.

This is Saint Gun Bro.

One of the most well-known good people in the professional circle, a veteran from S5 to now, not to mention anything else, just the quality of single-handedly supporting one team for so many years is enough to move many players.

Of course, most importantly, he is both easy to talk to and very strong.

In esports, skill is what matters most. The presence of Flandre gives Karsa another option for jungle clearing, relieves Knight from the worry of having to help top lane in the early game to avoid losing lane, gives JKL another front-line tank to absorb damage, and gives Roland another partner who can temporarily share command.

Clearly, the addition of Flandre is a huge boost to TES.

White Crescent was genuinely all smiles this time.

What is the current concept of TES?

Playing the top, mid, and jungle trio is no problem.

It can handle dual-core processors without any problems.

Even if they go to the extreme and play a 4-protect-1 strategy, this team can still function. The only drawback is that they lack cohesion, but there are still several months to go.

The biggest difference between veteran and new players is that veteran players can easily integrate into teams with different styles, unless they are the kind of players who bring their own system, like Doinb.

The only flaw in TES right now is probably their jungle carry strategy, which they don't usually play much. Otherwise, they can let the White Crescent duo decide what kind of team they want them to be.

After the players had finished sharing their holiday experiences, White Crescent organized a short meeting for everyone and held a simple welcome ceremony for Holy Gun Bro.

"Alright, now that the new players are in place, your tasks will be correspondingly heavier. I've arranged a little bit of training matches for you, which can serve as a whetstone for you to work together." As she said this, White Crescent Moon seemed to remember something and revealed a very bright smile.

"Also, during the breaks between practice matches, I will give each of you an account. My requirement is that before the MSC, no matter what method you use, you must reach the Master rank on the Korean server."

The ten-day break brought it to mid-May.

At the end of May, with the transfer window closing, the Mid-Season Cup (MSC) will also begin. They will then face the LCK region, which has always been their region's hypothetical rival, and behind them will be the entire LPL audience.

So naturally, in order to minimize the incompatibility caused by the addition of new players, White Crescent could only try to close the gap by increasing the amount of training.

Roland and his group nodded after listening, indicating their understanding as well.

Losing the civil war was, in fact, barely acceptable.

With so many strong teams in the LPL, a closed loop has formed. Often, the outcome of a best-of-five series is not determined by the raw strength of the two teams, but rather by which team's players are in better form that day. After all, everyone knows each other well, so if you lose, you lose, and you can always come back next time.

But LCK is different.

In the 4V4 format of the competition, winning is normal, but losing is embarrassing for whoever loses.

If you lose badly by the slightest mistake, you'll be attacked by all sorts of powerful figures, and the public opinion will spiral out of control for months.

After giving some more instructions, White Crescent waved for everyone to leave, leaving only Roland behind, staring at him in the room with a bewildered expression.

"No, Coach, why is it me again this time?"

"You're the commander, if I don't keep you, who else should I keep?"

"Alright, what do you want me to do this time?"

"Actually, it's nothing much, I just wanted to make a small request regarding your RANK." With that, the white crescent moon revealed the fingertip universe.

"uh-huh?"

"I expect you to only use support champions to climb the ranks during this period, and try not to use the same champion more than five times a day, you know what I mean?"

???

WTF?

After hearing what the coach said, Roland said he was completely dumbfounded.

Having gotten used to going all-in in the bot lane, suddenly having him play a support role that can only hide behind the ADC is going to be the death of him.

"Coach...this...isn't appropriate?"

“I know it’s difficult, but Ah Ban, even though you made rapid progress in the first half of the year, you have indeed reached a bottleneck. Even if it’s not for the team but for yourself, I hope you can adapt and make changes as much as possible.”

"But..."

"Don't worry, I understand your difficulties. This time I won't force you to reach a certain rank. Be bold and open yourself up, change your perspective, and experience the completely different path of being a support."

"But you've misunderstood, Coach."

"what?"

Looking at the bewildered coach in front of him, Roland hesitated for a moment before continuing, "What I really meant was, we can change the soft support, but it will cost extra!"

White crescent moon: ? ? ?

Metamorphosis: Chapter 58: This must be 70% my contribution?

For the next ten days, TES maintained a very high intensity of ranked games and scrims. This time, White Crescent had gone all out against the team, and the scrim partners were not only from the LPL, but also from many other regions.

As the LPL Spring Split champions, almost all the teams accepted the invitation to scrims. Even G2's owner pulled his team's players back for a whole day of practice.

It's not actually called a deadlift.

Meanwhile, large-scale natural disasters were just beginning to break out abroad at the same time, and most people were trapped in clubs and isolated. Since they had nothing better to do, they might as well have some fun together.

As it turned out, they were wrong.

Although everyone went there with the intention of just having fun, in reality, TES almost wiped out several teams from other regions.

Although Roland and others have restrained their performance quite a bit, unfortunately, the players from other regions have a ridiculously low training volume during the off-season. Apart from maintaining their professional teamwork, their solo lane strength is ridiculously weak, even worse than in ranked games. They often get crushed by TES in lane before they even get to team fights.

Especially that top laner named 369, if you scroll down his game history, you'll find he almost never plays the same champion twice. [Holy Gun is showing off his champion pool]

Ten days later, the name of the genius top laner 369 spread like wildfire across major overseas forums. LNG had only just received their new top laner not long ago, and 369's fame had already overwhelmed them. Seeing all the positive comments online, LNG could only say: It's amazing.

Although they lost one of their current combat strength.

But they secured the team's future!

This trade was incredibly profitable.

At the same time, the various transfer rumors on the Internet have also attracted considerable attention. Although the scale is not as large as the transfers before the Spring Split, the transfers that occur at this time are basically for strengthening the team.

In other words, it is often during this period that we can better see which teams are truly aiming for this year's World Championship.

Unfortunately, in order to regulate the professionalism and consistency of the league during the transfer period, the official authorities required all teams to refrain from officially announcing transfer news and roster lists before the 25th, which resulted in the transfer information only being finalized now.

As soon as the transfer information was released, fans from all walks of life on the internet couldn't sit still.

With Xiye and Langx joining LGD, forming a true veteran team, and with Peanut joining before the Spring Split, LGD's ambition to compete in the World Championship is self-evident.

VG signed Leye, which shows that VG's board of directors has recognized the player's special qualities. They only need to pay a portion of the transfer fee to get a rookie jungler who almost doesn't need to be paid a salary. This deal is almost a steal.

OMG is pretty impressive. They bought the coach of EDG's King of Glory division to coach the LPL, directly crossing over into coaching. This coach also has a special skill: he is good at combining undergraduate and professional knowledge. His most impressive achievement is turning a mid-to-upper-ranked team into one of the top teams in the league, although it's still one of the bottom teams.

It just goes to show that EDG is ruthless when it comes to doing business.

If the above-mentioned transfers, except for WE, were still within the acceptable range for everyone, then when people saw the last transfer announcement, they were truly stunned.

TES acquired top laner Flandre from LNG for a huge transfer fee of +369, thus completing the team's reinforcement.

Good guy.

Saint Gun Bro + Radar Bro + Golden Left Hand + Champion AD + Esports Deyun Club Young Motherboard King.

What kind of god-like lineup is this?

Holy crap! TES really went all out on this! They just gave away their top laner 369, whom they'd worked so hard to develop?!

[A true galactic battleship.]

[Banhuang finally had a chance to shine after winning the Spring Split championship, but now that Flandre has joined the team, he's become the team's weak link again. Waaaa, Banhuang, my Banhuang.]

[SMLZ: Here's another five-year veteran, top-notch skills, a cornerstone of the team, and affordable. Are there any strong teams considering me too?]

Upon seeing this transfer information, countless Snake Esports fans were moved to tears.

Unlike other teams, Snake's fans are almost all fans of Flandre, and they are even more anxious about his future than he is. They started planning his transfer a long time ago, and after all these years, they almost thought that Flandre was really going to retire with LNG.

Fortunately, the pigs we raised have finally learned to root in the grass.

All I can say is that I was in tears.

Meanwhile, the other teams who saw this information also turned pale. JDG, in particular, who were eager for revenge, couldn't even hold their wine glasses steady when they saw the transfer news, spilling their drinks all over the floor.

The visual impact of this transfer is no less than Kobe transferring to a new team to play alongside Curry, James, and Iverson. As for the remaining one?

That doesn't matter, as long as he can pass the ball.

Yes, that's how outrageous the effect is. Unlike the disastrous start of other e-sports novels, Roland's birth is equivalent to spending all his money in the game, to the point that he's almost completely lost and doesn't even know how to play anymore.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected, everyone went crazy as soon as the transfer information was announced. What do you think of this scene, Xuanjun?" After reading all the news on the screen, Roland turned around with a smile and looked at his team's new top laner, Flandre.

"The pace is indeed a bit scary. If MSC makes a mistake today, he might be ruined on the spot." Although he said this, there was no sign of tension on his face.

What storms haven't I weathered?

Having experienced the era of "all pigs attacking the tower" in Season 6, Flandre says these controversies are nothing to worry about and can be taken as entertainment.

"On the contrary, how have you been doing in ranked games these past few days?"

"Don't even mention it. Losing points is like a freefall, while gaining points is like constipation. This support role is really hard to play." Roland's face darkened instantly at the mention of this.

Soft support is really disgusting.

In an era where Thresh and Nautilus are the strongest supports in this patch, having him play a champion like Sona, Naruto, or Yuumi to climb the ranks is practically suicide. However, in just one week, his account became a nightmare for solo AD carry players in Korean Diamond rank games, the kind that gets instantly killed on sight.

"I think... as long as you can overcome the bad habit of using enchanter supports to initiate team fights, your win rate should be much higher."
