Chapter 75: The Twilight City title team! Do it and fight the tiger!
Chapter 75: The Twilight City title team! Do it and fight the tiger!
Just the day after the EDG and AL match ended, a lot of rumors had already come out.
No one expected this. Everyone originally thought that it was just another nonsensical incident hyped up by an unscrupulous marketing account.
But it was on the third day.
The incident was confirmed by an official Weibo announcement from the two teams, instantly sparking public opinion!
[Announcement of personnel changes in EDG e-sports club]: After friendly communication and negotiation with the players and the club, the mid-lane player Scout (Li Lican) officially leaves the team from today. Thank you for having you and wish you better development in the future.
[BLG E-sports Club Personnel Change Announcement]: We are pleased to announce that the player Scout (Li Lican) will officially join BLG as the starting mid laner starting position from today.
Scout also retweeted two Weibo posts one after another, which was considered to be a face-saving gesture for both parties.
This is the first time the Mid-Season Transfer Regulations have been used, and it is bound to cause huge controversy no matter what, let alone involving such a star player.
For several consecutive days, it has been firmly dominating the hot searches on Weibo, the anti-stress forum is full of analysis posts, and when you open the short video platform, you can always see all kinds of sharp comments on this matter.
Various bloggers, anchors, and even professional players are eager to take advantage of this wave of traffic.
The famous anchor Coin Teacher said frankly: "May~ya, what can I say, I know some inside information, but I can't tell you everything."
"I can only say that it does not violate the regulations. There is such a rule, and it has been in place since the beginning of the year. The (contract) dispute that was previously exposed online is also true, but no one thought that it would really happen!"
"As far as I know, the agreement was reached so quickly only if all three parties agreed, which means the contestant himself wants to go!"
"Why don't you go to FPX? Maya FPX has no money, Scout is very expensive. Why don't you come to LNG? Hey, moderator, ban this person."
Even the big anchor who always likes to leak information by "slip of the tongue" didn't know about it, which proves how quickly this matter was accomplished.
It is not difficult to understand why it can be so "smooth" if you think about it carefully.
The mid-season transfer period also has a time limit and will be closed before the middle of the summer season. Now that one-third of the schedule has passed, there are actually not many left.
The procedure was very tight and Chen Rui did not have too much time to worry about it.
Of course, he didn't really hesitate.
After all, the purpose of BLG forming this lineup this year is self-evident, and anyone who knows a little bit can see it.
Of course it is best to have good results.
But the most important thing is traffic!
No matter how much Scout's strength declines, he is definitely at least a level stronger than second- and third-tier mid laners like icon and fofo.
From the perspective of traffic alone, BLG is unlikely to lose money on this deal.
As for Scout himself, he had almost no hesitation after hearing this proposal!
He had no attachment to EDG in the first place.
How deeply fans love self-marketing is their business. If they really have feelings for it, they wouldn’t want to leave every year.
If he continues to stay in EDG now, it is clear that he is unlikely to compete with Ye Bo for the starting position. Even if he performs well against those "weak teams" in the future, what can he prove?
Being reduced to a true "substitute", Scout, who thinks highly of himself, naturally cannot accept it.
But, there is nothing we can do.
And it just so happened that my uncle came to negotiate with him in person at this time, and showed his full sincerity!
At first glance, BLG's lineup this year is not bad.
Top laner Bin just performed brilliantly at MSI, and jungler Weiwei is the core component of V5's 'Dawei Tianlong', and his playing style is relatively functional for the team.
The AD is No Need for Duoyan + Taiwanese foreign aid, and the support is also the former champion Crisp.
Anyone who takes a look at this lineup will find it hard to understand why BLG almost didn't make it to the playoffs in the spring, and its current summer ranking is even lower than the previous AL!
The blame was shared back and forth, and in the end it was natural that the blame could only be placed on the single player.
And from the looks of this board, it’s almost clear that they’re just waiting for a mid laner to come to the rescue!
Scout sees this point.
He wants to come here to show his prowess, to be the "absolute core" as his uncle promised, and to prove with facts that he can still play. Only in this way can he continue to get the maximum salary in the transfer period next year and realize his lifelong dream of returning to LCK.
This is a deal where all three parties benefit, so naturally there won't be any obstacles.
Of course, since this incident was indeed a bit explosive, there are many different opinions online.
The "Protecting the Thieves" group thinks: [After all, my junior is a veteran of three dynasties. Isn't it a bit inhumane to sell him out just because he has become a loser? ]
"The Guardian Party" is a rebuttal to——
[Three-time veteran: refers to wanting to run away every year, refers to backstabbing more than once during the contract period, refers to playing poorly but still arguing with the coach! ]
[If the contract incident that broke out online is true, then EDG is not inhumane, it is too damn humane. I think they are so humane that they are like turtles! If I were Ed Zhu, I would have kicked him out long ago! If we don’t learn from RNG and block his ten-year contract, we will be sorry for him! ]
What’s interesting is that even among the moms on Weibo, no one came to discuss the issue of {strength} here.
Highlight the "human touch".
After all, in recent games, or even in the entire 2022 so far this year, anyone with eyes can see how much Scout's level has fluctuated.
I can get back into shape once in a while, but the number of times I've been so weird is so high that ten fingers are not enough. And this is because I'm playing a big core hero, which is a choice that is not likely to die suddenly.
Some people joked online that, let alone doing "scientific research", even if he was just given the heroes that Ye Bo had played, the number of research and development times he completed would surpass Dr. Jiang in minutes!
Of course, apart from the fans of both sides, most people just wanted to watch for fun.
[I just want to see these two teams fight, very urgent! Very urgent! ]
[BLG is an invincible team. They have three Vladimirs in the top, mid and bottom three. They are the Twilight City title team!]
[I just checked and found out that we have to play BLG in the final game of the regular season. I am the King of Jiji. Can we finish the regular season tomorrow? ]
[Good news: If BLG can make it to the playoffs, it is possible to win twice in a row; Bad news: BLG may not make it to the playoffs! ]
[Thief Saint has had some trouble this year, but he will definitely strengthen the team. Theoretically, there is no problem in the playoffs, but the main thing is that EDG's momentum looks like they are really going to get the resurrection armor! ]
[The resurrected player must be RNG! Wait until next week, I, General Tiger, will avenge my junior! Let these newbies who don’t know how to respect their seniors know what a senior is! ]
The online turmoil did not spread to the EDG team.
After all, when it comes down to it, Scout’s conflict is not with his team members, or even with Ye Bo himself, but rather a conflict between himself and the club.
If he is willing to spend his retirement in EDG peacefully, EDG will not be in a hurry to find new players to plan for the future.
So although his teammates were reluctant to see Scout leave the team, they all understood it.
As for Ye Bo.
If you have a clear conscience, there is naturally no need to have any "psychological burden".
To be honest, he was a little surprised, but he was indeed a little happy.
Because for him, the biggest benefit of this matter is that he has more games to play!
You know, even if you play against a so-called "weak team", the actual combat experience you can get will definitely be much greater than the trial field simulation and training match, there is no doubt about it.
This is true whether it is understanding the game or improving hero proficiency.
After all, the {proficiency experience} gained from winning in the arena is much higher than that from ordinary training. This is the result of previous experiments.
This alone can save Ye Bo a lot of time!
Of course, Ye Bo would never allow himself to do something like "training heroes on the field".
Therefore, even when he is playing against a so-called weak team and wants to use some heroes he wants to practice, he will at least require himself to train them to level five before considering using them.
After the turmoil of the rotation incident.
Ye Bo's importance in EDG has increased both overtly and covertly.
This included but was not limited to the fact that Ed Zhu had been coming to the base to get close to him recently, and even the standards of the cafeteria had been raised.
Maokai would often ask for his opinions on the latest version of the game, which was a core part of the coaching staff. In Ye Bo's opinion, these were actually interesting things in life outside of training, and he enjoyed them.
"The next game will start with version 12.11, which is a big version. If nothing unexpected happens, the tough battle against RNG next week will be using this version."
"So what do you think of this hero, Belvis, Ye Bo?"
Mao Kai did not ask the teaching assistant, but first asked for Kamiba's opinion.
The normalization of the LPL game server lags behind the real version by one version, sometimes even longer, so everyone has actually been using this major version for a while.
It is also in this version that the new hero [Void Queen - Belvis] officially debuts.
“Jiejie said that he didn’t master it very well, but I feel that this is actually a hero that is very easy to match with the system.” Ye Bo expressed his opinion frankly.
Maokai nodded. "There have been a lot of changes to the mid lane in this version. I see that LCK has even started playing Gragas in the mid lane recently. Have you noticed any changes in your recent training?"
"Yes, heroes like Gragas, Fizz, Ryze, Sylas, and Irelia have all received a lot of numerical enhancements. I've also been practicing new heroes recently." Ye Bo counted on his fingers and described his training arrangements.
"My plan is to prioritize Sylas. I've also been practicing Azrael, followed by Ryze, Gragas, and Irelia."
One of the most important changes in 12.11 is the repeated jumps in the effect of [Grievous Injury].
The designer once again made a classic slap in the face. Just in the first half of the year, he said that the heavy injury equipment was too weak, and strengthened it to 60% of the heavy injury effect.
It turned out that I had filled in the numbers with my feet!
They kept cutting and cutting, and now on December 12.11, it has been cut back to 40%!
Among them, Sylas, the leader who was originally suffering from serious injuries and suppression, has received significant numerical enhancements to his W and E skills in this version, and his CD and healing amount have been increased.
This advance and retreat naturally led to Silas's appearance rate rising on the Rockets.
It instantly ascended to T0 in the current version and temporarily replaced Ahri's position!
Maokai expressed his appreciation with ease. He really never had to worry about supervising the training of the mid laner. "You don't have to be too anxious. Tsar doesn't actually fit our current system. It doesn't matter if you don't practice him for the time being. The main thing is that Sylas is indeed more important. He will probably be the focus of next week's BP."
"By the way, what is the impact of the nerf to Taliyah?"
Taliyah, which has been wreaking havoc on the arena and has become a fixed banned character, naturally could not be spared.
While the basic health was reduced to weaken the laning phase, the core output Q skill, from CD, damage, to quarry boulders, were all adjusted.
"I think it's okay, because it was a bit too strong before, and the core mechanism hasn't changed much." Ye Bo shrugged: "On the contrary, Zeli's enhancement is a bit exaggerated. Brother Viper has been practicing more recently, and the bottom lane ecology of the support has changed. Maybe starting from next week, our BP focus should be on..."
The second week of the rotation event.
EDG's first game in the new version is against WE.
The WE team is the last team among all 17 teams in this summer season, having not won a single game yet!
Through this game, EDG quickly verified and adjusted the new version.
In comparison, the gap between the two teams is not only reflected in the players, the gap in BP has been exposed early on.
This also shows why this WE team has not won even a small game. The entire team's understanding of the version and BP design were almost completely outdone by EDG!
They will only perform a "special ban" and let the opponent choose the new and cutting-edge heroes like Zeli and Sylas.
Ye Bo used Zoe once and Sylas once.
In the first game, Zoe won the MVP, and in the second game, Viper's Zeli won the MVP.
"EDG's winning streak continues! This is their sixth consecutive win! The current summer points have reached 6-2, firmly occupying the third place!"
"And WE is still not here today"
"It is worth mentioning that after RNG lost to JDG yesterday, their current score is 6-1, and they are on par with EDG. The matchup between the two teams next week is likely to directly determine who will get half of the resurrection armor! At the same time, they will also reserve a place in the playoffs in advance!"
"YE's performance was still outstanding today. In the second game, he used Sylas for the first time in his career. Although he made a few small mistakes in the laning phase, he still managed to break through Shanks at the sideline! Paving the way for Zeli's takeoff in the bottom lane!"
"Indeed, in addition to lamenting how quickly EDG got used to the version, I also have to lament how quickly YE players practiced heroes. I even think it's not wrong to give the second game MVP to Sylas. Of course, Jiejie's new hero, Belvis, performed pretty well too."
The commentator highly praised EDG's understanding of the version, even calling it a "benchmark."
[Do you understand the value of practicing heroes while sleeping? ? ]
[I'm having a hard time playing against a stinky guy who has never won a game. That Silas is as stiff as a zombie. To be honest, I'm not as good as my junior! ]
[Who is your junior? ]
[“Today the anchor is practicing a little bit on a hero, the rank is not high, LPL Summer Season”]
[I just randomly trained a hero to make my mother feel annoyed. Zoe in the first game wasn’t cool enough, right? She was directly shot down by Stinkyx’s magpie in the air! ]
[So when will Daomou be able to play? If he doesn’t play, Zoe’s skin will really have to be renamed soon~~]
EDG maintains its winning streak, and its momentum and reputation are growing.
And because of the "severance of arms to survive", the current fan atmosphere of the entire team is unexpectedly united and harmonious!
As for BLG, although the players have joined the team, they have not yet appeared on the field, and the lineup of BLG has not been verified yet.
but.
Tencent Esports and BLG both know how to make the most of traffic
A week later, on July 7th, Saturday.
The first game at 5 o'clock will be between BLG and TES, and it was officially announced yesterday that [BLG-Scout] and [BLG-UZI] will both appear!
The second game will be at 7 o'clock, with EDG facing RNG.
This night was called the "Summer Spring Festival Gala" by netizens, and it became extremely popular on the entire network before it even started.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the EDG team was about to set off from the base to the venue.
Mingkai was still consoling Ye Bo privately: "Don't feel stressed today. RNG is the Spring Split and MSI double champion after all. Even if we lose, it doesn't matter!"
"Hmm? I don't feel any pressure." Ye Bo turned his head and blinked naturally: "Don't worry~ I'm already researching what to use to fight the tiger today!"
"We won't lose! I haven't even said that declaration yet. I've been holding it in for a long time."
Mingkai always felt that his young mid laner was always hinting at him, but he had no evidence.
When Ye Bo saw the other person's constipated expression, he thought that the factory director was still worried about him.
So he pointed to the four kettles in the EDG "Health Corner" in front of him.
"Director, guess why we only have four pots today?"
Mingkai's eyes rolled around, and he subconsciously wanted to blurt out "Because the word five is not..."
Oh, it's you too?
Ye Bo chuckled and patted Ming Kai on the back.
"You can't guess, because 'Five Pots Take Off' means the other pot has already flown away!"
"Come on, drink this bowl of wolfberry tea with me, and go to work to fight tigers~"
Although Mingkai was embarrassed by Ye Bo's cold joke, he was still tender inside.
But looking at the other person's back as he skipped out of the cafeteria, hugged Jiejie and talked and laughed, he silently revealed a smile of relief.
It seems that given the personality of our new mid laner, we really don't have to worry about the opponent's mentality at all.
fine.
Sorry, I was struggling with the transition and plot today, and Kawenka was so bad that I only managed 5K.
Actually, I kind of want to take a day off to adjust, but it's the first month on the shelves, so there is no reason to take a day off, otherwise I will feel guilty and I will be sorry for everyone's monthly tickets.
So apologize.
PS: There are only two teams left in the regular season to be written about, and there should be only two or three games in the playoffs. It will definitely not be full, so don't worry.
The game starts tomorrow!
