Chapter 78: Must enter S6!

After the game, the comments on the LPL official TV station were boiling:

"Fuck, I'm a piglet, I almost peed myself just now! I thought we were going to lose from the start, but I didn't expect EDG to hold on till the end!"

"Who said it wasn't true? TheKing found several opportunities. If EDG hadn't exchanged resources in time to stop the loss, Snake would have gained momentum long ago!"

"To be honest, Goji is a bit abnormal. His teammates were not in good condition in the last two games, but he was still stable like a robot. If EDG didn't have a cannon cart in the last wave, Card would have succeeded in disconnecting, and there might have been variables."

"Snake is so strong, I hope they can make it to S6."

"I'm an old fan of Goji Brother S2. I thought he was extraordinary when he was still a useless player in WE. I cried after watching these three games. Woohoo, Goji Brother, you are risking your life!"

…

EDG defeated Snake and won 16 consecutive regular season games!

It's hard to think of a more perfect start to the summer.

The factory manager took off his headphones, and the dark expression on his face disappeared.

These two are really not easy.

EDG has been playing for the entire summer, and today was definitely the most tiring.

I was in a state of high tension and didn't dare to relax at all.

The EDG team walked over to Snake and everyone shook hands one by one.

The factory manager came to Li Hao and looked at his slightly depressed expression. The pot-covered man suddenly laughed:

"Brother, don't be so sad, you guys have done a great job today."

"You can't see me looking sad. I'm just reminiscing."

Mingkai: "What are you reminiscing about?"

Li Hao's lips curled up slightly: "Having a few litters of F4 is a great thing."

An Kai: "What are you implying, kid?"

Li Hao rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.

What neither of them had expected was that all these scenes were actually captured by the director on the big screen, causing an uproar at the scene.

Wawa said with a smile: "Guess what the factory manager and TheKing are talking about? The expressions of these two people are very intriguing."

Zhihuan: "They knew each other before, maybe they were catching up."

Miller joined in the fun: "I think the factory manager might be saying that you are not killing pigs fast enough. I raise so many pigs that you can't kill them all."

"Hahaha."

In the commentary booth, the three bastards got more and more excited, chattering non-stop.

In the barrage:

"Manager: Brother Goji, please join EDG. You can kill the pigs I raise as you like."

"Brother Goji (rolling eyes): You tricked me into playing with the tree again, didn't you?"

…

After the handshake, EDG went to the stage to thank the audience and received warm applause.

With 16 consecutive BO3 wins, they dominated the summer regular season.

At this time, Ze Yuan, who was sitting as a guest at the LPL official event center, said with a smile:

"EDG is really strong. They won all the regular season games and showed unparalleled dominance. They have a good chance in S6 this time!"

Joker on the side also nodded and said:

"Yes, this team is now the strongest in terms of overall strength and stability. Although they were beaten badly by Snake's rhythm in the first game, from the following two games, it seems that they have a good mentality and are not affected at all. This is also the strength of EDG this season. They are very resilient in desperate situations."

…

The atmosphere of most barrages is similar. If the record is good, it will definitely be praised.

However, some old fans who experienced the Waterloo of S5 still feel that it is too early to say this now.

There is also endless debate about this in major e-sports-related forums.

…

Li Hao saw it all in the contestant channel.

Gangzi, Shengqiang and Zzr all hung their heads, looking a little depressed.

Compared to the scene after the first game, it is completely different.

But he understood that this might be a good thing for Snake.

Whether it's 12 consecutive wins or 13 consecutive wins, it's not that important.

Moreover, due to the long-term winning streak, the players will feel more pressure after feeling the expectations from the outside world.

This failure is a wake-up call, but it can also make everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

After returning to the backstage, there was a chorus of "mine" and "mine", and everyone was talking about the mistakes they had made.

It looks like a blame-sharing meeting is about to begin.

On the bench, Tank felt like today was Chinese New Year.

His butt was a little numb from sitting on the bench, and he could hear the 'beep, beep' sound of the water dispenser when the game started.

Tank didn't want to see Snake lose, but wanted to regain the opportunity to play and the club's attention.

In order to prepare well, Tank changed his schedule and worked much harder than before.

Today, Snake lost to EDG, and he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

The more unstable factors there are, the more opportunities he has.

But to Tank's disappointment, the coaching staff didn't even look at him.

Chris said: "Don't be discouraged, a BO3 loss doesn't represent everything."

"We need to summarize the reasons for our failure and make changes. This is the ultimate goal."

"This summer, even greater challenges are waiting for us."

“Playoffs!”

"Bubble game!"

After hearing these words, everyone's expressions changed.

Zuo Wu also burst into passion, his face flushed as he said: "Our ultimate goal is to break out of the LPL region!"

"Snake, we must rush into S6!"

"Yes, rush into S6!"

“Come on, brothers!”

"come on!"

…

With the completion of the game, the 2016 LPL Summer Regular Season standings were officially locked.

The rankings of Group A are: EDG, Snake, GT, IG, NB, and SAT.

The rankings of Group B are: RNG, WE, IM, VG, LGD, and OMG.

The top 4 teams in each group will play in the playoffs, while the bottom 4 teams will engage in a brutal promotion and relegation match.

…

The playoff schedule is very tight with the regular season schedule. The first round of the playoffs from 8 to 6 will start in just three days.

Because of the competition system, the third-ranked team will naturally have one more win, and it will be more difficult for the fourth-ranked team to win.

On August 9, the second day after the regular season, the Snake team members were preparing seriously for the game.

Shuangquan came to the base on behalf of the boss.

Zuo Wu, who was feeding the cat, was quietly pulled into the meeting room by Shuangquan.

"What's wrong?" Zuo Wu asked.

Shuangquan said with a serious expression, "I've watched all the club's games recently, and they're in great form!"

"Zuo Wu, you are really amazing."

"It seems to me like the Snakes have come back from the dead."

Zuo Wu glanced at him sideways and said, "Why are you being so secretive just because of this?"

"of course not."

Shuangquan quickly shook his head: "I came here for a contract."

Hearing this, Zuo Wu understood: "It's Li Hao's contract, right?"

"Yes!"

Shuangquan felt a toothache: "Li Hao's contract is only for four months, right?"

"That means, four months later, he will be a free man."

"It's a big loss. If I had known he was in such explosive form, I should have signed him for two years."

"Come on."

Zuo Wu laughed and said, "Who could have predicted this? Besides, isn't it a good thing to find a treasure?"

"No matter what, there is still a priority renewal right in the contract. As long as the salary can match, we can still keep Li Hao."

Shuangquan also nodded, "It's indeed a good thing. I can see that without Li Hao, Snake wouldn't be what he is now."

"Especially the day before yesterday when we played against EDG, I was really dumbfounded. Even though we lost the game, this Li Hao is really strong."

"He is just a little older. If he were two years younger, it would be incredible."

Zuo Wu rolled his eyes. "What are you thinking? He was so strong two years ago, but now he is still the cornerstone of the WE dynasty. He has nothing to do with us. Do you still want to take advantage of him?"

"What does the boss mean this time?"

Shuangquan said confidently: "The boss said this: we don't need a person no matter how high his salary is. He doesn't want to lose talent, nor does he want to suffer a big loss."

"After all, Li Hao is a veteran, and age is a disadvantage . No one can guarantee how long he can maintain this state."

Zuo Wu said, "Continue with the short-term contract, right?"

"Um."

“This is the most appropriate option.”

"How much do you plan to give?"

Shuangquan raised one hand: "Fifty thousand! The contract will be renewed for another six months."

"This is what the boss wants. There is one more thing: if the team can enter S6 and get a certain ranking and receive bonuses, everything will be divided into normal shares."

"For details, you need to talk to Li Hao. After all, you are more familiar with him. Have a good talk. If it doesn't work, we can discuss it again. It would be best if we can reach an agreement."

Shuangquan said this, obviously realizing the importance of Li Hao.

That evening.

After Zuo Wu conveyed Shuang Quan's intention, Li Hao agreed.

From eight thousand to fifty thousand, he can accept it for the time being.

As for why the club only signed him for half a year, he certainly knew it.

However, this is also the most beneficial for Li Hao.

Right now, he is quite happy in Snake, and unless there are any major accidents, he doesn't want to leave the team for the time being.

After Li Hao walked out of the conference room, Chris hurried in.

He asked Zuo Wu anxiously, "How is it? "

Zuo Wu gave a thumbs up: "Done."

Hearing this, Chris breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the current signs...
