Chapter 134: I'm just the Pawn, he's the General
The younger student Scout is worried that the gossip will spread and have a bad influence on his seniors.
So he told Xing Dao not to spread the news.
but.
Deft itself does not mean to hide anything.
Because the foreign player contracts are uniformly for two years, after S5 and S6, Deft regained his free agent status.
It doesn't matter whether you leave or stay.
After leaving Los Angeles and returning to China, Mouse, who was confirmed to be unable to play, was contacted by EDG to potential teams.
After all, for players who are not strong enough, every opportunity is particularly precious.
The earlier you contact, the greater your chances of getting the starting position.
As for the rule of 'not contacting contracted players or coaches outside the transfer period', it is only a superficial restriction on poaching so that major clubs do not go too far.
In reality, no one really complies.
Moreover, both parties are aware of and agree that contacting in the name of the club does not violate this article.
Inside the dormitory.
General Pawn, whose back injury had recovered a little, was packing his luggage.
Although EDG hasn't said it yet.
But General Pawn knew it.
With young replacements and a world championship under their belt, there is no reason for the EDG club to pay a maximum salary to renew the contract of an injury-ridden veteran.
Well, let's stop here.
Two years passed, with ups and downs.
There is glory, loneliness, unwillingness and reluctance.
It's not a flaw, but it's not perfect either.
Maybe this is life.
"Actually, I should thank the General."
"He filled in the last piece of the championship puzzle and completed our unfulfilled dream."
"I'm just the Pawn, he's the General."
“I wish EDG Club will get better and better.”
"If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again in the rivers and lakes."
While sitting on the bed resting, General Pawn edited the last paragraph of his farewell message.
Take a deep breath.
Select Publish.
On this day, LPL happened to be holding the All-Star selection, so few people paid attention to the news that EDG's former mid laner left the team.
No cheering.
There are no flowers.
There was no farewell from fans like when Deft returned to China in a high-profile manner.
General Pawn came alone and left alone .
The only thing he brought with him was a suitcase that looked big but actually didn't weigh much. It contained medals, certificates of honor, fan support items, and some daily necessities.
On the Internet.
The voting is in full swing.
The four-day voting channel was officially closed at 2 p.m. on November 8.
The results were subsequently announced.
In the top lane position, the players with the most votes are Xing Dao, Marin, and Looper.
Among them, when Marin first came to LPL, he was given various packages and lost a large number of fans. His condition improved during the summer season and his popularity gradually recovered.
Looper played with RNG in S6 and his performance was remarkable, but unfortunately they were eliminated in the quarterfinals and were obviously not comparable to the champions.
The two of them together barely surpassed a fraction of Xing Dao's 88.98% support rate.
Jungle position.
The factory director's support rate of 59.53% was in stark contrast to the second place's 15.57%, and there was no suspense either.
In the middle lane, the tallest one is the younger brother Scout.
In the AD position, Deft, who is not in the LPL region, was overtaken by UZI.
The support was more surprising. Meiko, who won the championship, was not too far ahead of Mata, and the lead has been fluctuating between 1-3 percentage points.
Although they dominated the entire process, they also lost the opportunity to go to the All-Star Game.
Because each team can field a maximum of three players.
EDG had anticipated early on that with the popularity after winning the championship, they might be able to sweep all the positions, so they decided to let the three people with the largest vote advantages participate.
"The factory manager has a chance to prove himself. He has been criticized for that game until now. "
Coach Maokai is looking forward to it.
Fans have always been two-sided. After celebrating EDG's victory, they began to look for all kinds of negative news for entertainment.
So much so that during this period, 4396 became the code name of the factory director.
Not only post bars, forums, and comment areas.
Even some high-scoring players on the Chinese and Korean servers have changed their names to similar ones to cause trouble.
Fortunately.
This All-Star Game gives me a chance to prove my strength.
Because in addition to Solo, Poro King, and two-player entertainment games, there is also a mirror mode where you choose the same hero and the winner is determined by the operation.
"That doesn't matter. It's just a performance. What's worrying me now is what to do with the AD position..."
Abu tapped the folder with the ballpoint pen that had not been pressed out.
January 13th this year.
Official regulations have been introduced to restrict players under the age of 17 from participating in the LPL Super League.
Players under the age of 17 can sign contracts but are not allowed to play on the field.
This means that iboy from EDG youth team can only be promoted to the starting lineup after his birthday on July 12 next year.
It's very troublesome.
In the past few years, there were many players who played in competitions before the age of 17 .
But that was all before the regulations.
Once the regulations are issued, they must not be violated, at least not openly.
As for changing the contestants' ages to cover up the truth...it's impossible!
Because iboy did not join as a passerby king, but was selected by EDG through the "Club Trainee Draft Program".
The information was submitted to the authorities early on.
To say that the previously reported information was wrong and that the actual year of birth was 1999 is simply an insult to everyone's intelligence.
"The King of Passersby..."
Coach Maokai thought for a moment and said, "JackeyLove from IG's youth training camp is a popular player. His information should only be available on IG, but the principal may not be able to share it."
"It's not that there is no chance. We can try to get in touch with him first." Abu thought about it and made a decision.
The principal has a very large business, with the Banana Project hosting competitions and Black and White Cat TV competing in the live broadcast field.
The team is just a small head.
The daily operations and lineup formation will definitely be handled by Su Xiaoluo, who was promoted from agent to manager.
Abu also knows this person.
He has academic qualifications, a resume, and the experience of living in the same city as the principal, so he is extremely conceited and always speaks in a condescending tone.
If handled well, it shouldn't be a big problem to dig up a top talent who is still in youth training.
The key question is how strong JackeyLove is.
"Ah, you can ask Xing Dao about this. He often plays duo with JackeyLove."
Coach Maokai knows the players' situation very well: "Looking at the ranking results, they are pretty good and can often perform various extreme operations, but they are not that stable."
"It's normal for the King of Passersby to be unstable." Abu didn't care about this.
Walk to the training area where the players are.
Stand back and take a look first.
On the screen, there happened to be the Rank screen of Xing Dao and JackeyLove in the Korean server.
A team fight in a disadvantageous situation.
When the mid laner was killed first, JackeyLove dealt full damage and, with the protection of the two hub defense towers, repelled the opponent's advance with the two dragons.
Helped Xing Dao who was chasing out to get a triple kill.
Successfully reversed.
"Hey, manager?"
Xing Dao felt someone behind him, and when he was destroying the tower without any pressure, he turned his head to take a look.
"You fight as you please...Oh, there's something." Abu said halfway when he remembered something.
"What's the matter?" Xing Dao asked.
"I want to ask JackeyLove, who you duo queue with, whether he has any plans to change teams, or whether you can communicate with him and ask if he is interested in joining EDG." Abu thought it would be safer to explore the way first.
Even though EDG is the world champion, there is still a vacant ADC spot.
But JackeyLove's joining is only a temporary starter.
After iboy’s birthday, they will compete for the job.
It is also possible that the issue of changing age will be exposed, and he may be forced to step down or even be punished.
Therefore, there is no certainty that we can invite them.
"There should be one." Xing Dao was delighted, but still a little confused: "Don't we have iboy on our team? Why do we need to find someone else?"
"This is the situation..." Abu briefly explained the reason.
"Oh, then I'll go ask!"
Xing Dao decisively picked up the phone and unlocked it.
I found the pinned chat box expertly: "Hey, brother, do you want to play a game together?"
