"Why don't you be happier? How can you get higher scores without me?"
Xu Yuan spoke with some doubt and patted his headphones.
"Hello? Hello? Aniasyo?"
During the voice chat, the assistant was silent for a moment.
Li Xianghe was speechless.
Does this hanged man know my identity?
You just finished the finals and got beaten 3-0 by your buddies, but the next day you asked your buddies to play duo with you, right?
Disgusting?
"...I think I'm being very polite by still being willing to play RANK with you. Are you polite? SKT was just sent away by you guys, and you're making me happy?"
Xu Yuan just laughed out loud and said in Korean,
"Stop pretending, you idiot!"
"If you're an SKT fan, I'll eat it!"
"After saying so much, you still came after being called?"
At this time, he has returned to the EDG club.
However, because it was already holiday, there were not many players in the club except him, only Mingkai.
MingKai has been unable to play maintenance games during the World Championship, and his points have dropped almost completely, so he is unable to rank.
That's why he looked for Korean beef.
After one or two seasons, the relationship between the two has become very familiar.
In Xu Yuan's eyes, how could this Niu Niu be a SKT fan?
SKT fans are really going crazy now, right?
After all, the three-peat was broken by EDG.
Li Xianghe was speechless.
Shit, what he said makes some sense.
But Li Xianghe was helpless.
Because his teammates were also on vacation, there was no one to play RANK with him.
"Are you still a big mouth today?"
He asked.
In the time before the World Championship, Xu Yuan played a lot of big mouths.
Lee Sang-hyuk knew this information, and SKT naturally knew it too.
But it's useless even if I know it.
Because Xu Yuan can play so many games, SKT doesn't want to target him anymore, which is a waste of time.
"No, today we're training as Vampire Bomb Man."
Xu Yuan simply shook his head.
"Ah? Why?"
Li Xianghe was stunned.
"My intuition tells me that the bottom lane ecosystem may not be AD at the beginning of the new season."
Xu Yuan spoke in a profound tone.
Not AD?
Li Xianghe was slightly stunned, frowned and thought for a while.
The answer to the S7 version is already clear.
EDG is the answer to this version, there is no doubt about that.
There is no need to say much about EDG's system, the censer system.
This system is indeed strong enough, but there is a problem.
Just like the S5 World Championship version.
It's too unbalanced.
AD with a support can contribute more than 40% of the team's output, and the other positions are all serving the bottom lane.
How can this be possible?
This is definitely not what Riot wants to see.
So everyone knows that AD will definitely be affected in the next version.
However, with the balance of the fist...
hehe.
In all likelihood, traditional ADs will be killed in one blow and will not be able to survive.
Then there is a long callback.
Designers are really good at making a living.
So after the end of traditional AD, what kind of hero can replace the role of AD?
Without a doubt, Mage!
Also long-range, also a glass cannon.
The mage has longer arms and is not as weak in laning as the AD in the early stages.
In addition to being able to go to the top lane to bully the top laner, AD will usually be beaten up when fighting against the mage.
Because when they get hurt, they can kill you instantly, but when you get hurt, you can't kill them instantly.
"...Is it okay? Be careful or I might leak this version of the game to the LCK team."
Li Xianghe asked.
"ha?"
Xu Yuan found it a little funny.
"How can an LCK analyst not have this much ability? He should be laid off."
Li Xianghe was stunned and also amused.
It’s true.
"By the way, if you want to use a hero like Vampire, what kind of support do you usually pair it with?"
Since the Savior didn't mind, Li Xianghe would of course pick up his understanding without hesitation.
In return, just play RANK with him for a while.
"Leona with explosives, Crow with lifesteal, Taliyah with Pantheon."
Xu Yuan spoke lightly.
These are all very powerful bottom lane groups at the beginning of S8 version.
"Anything else?"
Li Xianghe quickly wrote it down.
"? That's enough. Heroes must be trained one by one!"
Xu Yuan was a little strange.
"Okay, come?"
Li Xianghe nodded and asked.
"Go!"
Xu Yuan nodded.
After the fight, Xu Yuan's mouth twitched.
"I explain your dreams!"
"Who taught you to E-flash to the opponent's back row during a team fight?"
Li Xianghe felt a little aggrieved.
"Ani... isn't it normal to drive in the back seat? And I drive very well!"
"I'm a bomber! A bomber! What should I do if you go in like this? The male swordsman can chop me up with just two strikes!"
"Can't you protect me?"
Xu Yuan was numb.
The female tank and the explosive man combination should indeed be used by the female tank, but that is when the situation is advantageous or balanced.
When the situation is disadvantageous, the female tank is used to protect the explosive man, otherwise it will be disconnected.
"…Is that so? Don't worry!"
Li Xianghe nodded thoughtfully.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Yuan's score dropped from 1247 points to 1124 points.
"Damn! Eight consecutive losses! Your support is a bunch of crap!"
No matter how good Xu Yuan's mentality was, he couldn't hold on any longer.
Yesterday I was killing people in the arena, and today I was just defending my home in several ranked games.
Is this reasonable?
If it weren't for his high hidden score, he wouldn't have lost many points after losing.
I'm afraid it will drop to around 1,000 points now.
"He slipped away."
Xu Yuan was ready to desert.
If we keep fighting, we will really be defeated. None of the professional bottom laners I met today can beat us.
The main focus is on losing points.
“Don’t…”
Li Xianghe scratched his head.
"No one will play rank with me after you leave. It's so boring."
"ah?"
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment and sighed.
"That sounds rather pitiful. Never mind. Come on. I'll quit at 10 o'clock at the latest."
This guy's support is pure shit, and it was Xu Yuan who helped him reach this level.
When Xu Yuan went offline, other 1,000-point ADs should have felt their scalps tingling when they saw him, right?
Indeed, no one should queue with him.
When Xu Yuan thought about it, he felt a little guilty.
If you bring someone to a level that doesn't belong to him, he will be disliked by his teammates.
However, we lost eight games in a row today, and no one reported it.
Xu Yuan felt a little strange.
How would he know that others would report him playing duo with Faker's smurf account?
Besides, there's no point in reporting it.
Lee Sang-hyuk is absolutely on the white list of Korean Riot.
Thus, the joyful journey of losing points began.
The next day, when Xu Yuan got up from the bed and turned on his mobile phone, he saw a video when he opened Bilibili.
[EDG.Savior scored 500 points in the Korean server! Frantically practicing mid lane, may he switch to mid next season? 】
"……Oh."
Xu Yuan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
He is now in a state of being numb.
Unlike AD, many mages have a very high level of education.
Vampires are thousand-year-old nobles with a very high level of education.
The knowledge level of the bomber is also very high, otherwise how do you think he can make bombs?
The only one who is a little bit innocent is Taliyah.
However, this hero is not difficult to operate, and it all depends on awareness.
This made his little cheat completely useless.
The only way to fight back is to rely on your full talent.
In this case, he would naturally be beaten up when practicing heroes in the 1,000-point bureau.
"But Han Niu's pussy was definitely not clean yesterday!"
Xu Yuan gritted his teeth.
His mage is garbage, but Han Niu was just as abstract as ever yesterday.
He called A Shui with ease.
"Hello? Are you on vacation?"
"Let it go. You want to play games? Check eight."
"Grass!"
Xu Yuan hung up decisively.
He is planning to do a live broadcast today.
Because there is still a lot of live broadcast time that has not been made up, after all, we have to play in the World Championship.
But now there is no one to play with, and Xu Yuan doesn’t know what to play.
After thinking about it, he sent out a Weibo message.
EDG.Savior:
"Brothers, I checked and the live broadcast time can no longer be made up. Why don't we just not make up for it?"
"Come early next month brothers."
Almost as soon as he posted the Weibo, the number of replies began to increase wildly.
"????"
"Are you still a human?"
"Roll, roll, roll! Start the show quickly!!"
Xu Yuan’s current popularity is so high that it’s a bit scary.
Handsome + first championship at the age of 17 + absolute carry core + defeated LCK in two BO5s + FMVP in the finals + pure CN!
This BUFF is already stacked a bit too full.
He is now the world's number one AD and deserves the title.
Even in LCK, there is not much doubt that he is the best AD in the world.
Because he really beat all the ADs he met.
This kind of dominance is exaggerated!
Even the LCK is like this, not to mention the LPL.
Godzilla is now behaving like a human being with his tail between his legs.
Now no fanatical fan dares to put him together with Uzi, because it is just asking for trouble.
Today, Xu Yuan’s Weibo followers have steadily exceeded eight million.
This caused a huge sensation in the entire e-sports circle.
Therefore, his first Weibo post after winning the championship was extremely popular.
It became a hot search almost instantly.
#Savior is lazy
The popularity of this entry continues to rise.
It made the fans laugh.
BYD hasn't posted on Weibo for such a long time. Now that he posts, does it mean he doesn't want to broadcast it anymore and just starts?
Go to hell!
"...I can't seem to get past it."
Xu Yuan sighed and could only get up, put on his clothes and prepare for the live broadcast.
At this time, the EDG team led by Abu had already arrived in South Korea.
After learning the whole story, EDG immediately communicated with SKT.
SKT also knew that the matter had been exposed, so they simply invited EDG to come to Korea to discuss the specific matters in detail.
Abu had met the original SKT boss when he came to buy Scout.
And now, this boss has become white.
This also gave Abu more confidence.
Things... seem to be just as the boss guessed!
SKT is now in a palace fight!
In this case, there might be a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Whose Lee Sang Hyuk is this?
No one asked me to take it away!
Among the entourage, there was one person who was not from EDG.
The manager of DAN Club, Guo Hao.
Because the contract was confidential, SKT arranged for a staff member to take Guo Hao on a tour after learning about it.
Guo Hao was also very interested and was the first to ask to see SKT's youth training.
After asking for instructions, the staff got permission.
SKT's youth training was never a secret, it's just that no one else can poach them.
Many players came to SKT just for the two golden signs of Faker and kkoma.
Otherwise, he is an avid fan of SKT.
SKT doesn’t think Guo Hao can poach anyone by himself.
Besides...
If there are really players who want to follow him, SKT can also ask for a high price.
Anyway, not all of SKT's youth players are successful.
There are only a few locations.
Except for a few hidden items that are not for sale, everyone else can go and see them.
"This is lehends, a very outstanding and very young support player."
Guo Hao nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.
"effort is also a very outstanding and young support player."
Guo Hao:?
No, why are they all auxiliary?
What do you mean by SKT only showing me the support?
"Is there a C position player?"
The SKT staff was stunned for a moment, then started introducing the players with a smile.
"This is Aiming, who is also a very good AD player."
Guo Hao looked at the young man who was immersed in the rank and shook his head with some regret.
Unfortunately, there are too many ADs in LPL.
Although DAN's bottom lane is in urgent need of reinforcement, he still prefers LPL's AD.
"This is Closer. This player is very young. He should still be in the first grade of junior high school. He has already reached the Korean server champion."
Guo Hao:!
I'm a little moved.
But he still shook his head, he was too young.
The king of the first grade...
You’re probably about fourteen or fifteen years old now?
The current entry requirement is for players to be over 17 years old, which means that after buying a pet, you have to raise it for two or three years.
That's a bit inappropriate.
"Closer players are not for sale now."
It seemed that he had been staring for a long time, so the staff member reminded him in a low voice.
After hearing this, Guo Hao gave up the last bit of thought.
What a pity.
Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a young man.
On his screen, there was no League of Legends.
This is……
interstellar?
Unexpectedly, when he was about to go over to take a look, the SKT staff stopped him directly.
"I'm sorry, the contestants over there are confidential and cannot be shown."
Guo Hao smiled awkwardly, "Okay."
He followed the staff out of the youth training room and asked.
"Can I know his ID?"
"…No, sorry."
Guo Hao shrugged and said, okay.
The meeting was still going on and it was almost noon.
So the staff took Guo Hao to the SKT cafeteria for dinner.
Gumayusi looked at the cafeteria in front of him and sighed sincerely.
“It’s really good.”
This was his second day at SKT.
When did you come up with the idea of ​​becoming a professional player?
Probably when SKT won the championship in S6.
After watching the S7 finals that ended a few days ago, Gumayusi immediately gave up his original goal and went straight to his brother.
“I want to go to SKT.”
"reason?"
Li Xinheng, with a calm expression, looked down at his originally shy brother in front of him, watching the fire gradually burning in his eyes.
"SKT lost."
Gumayusi spoke seriously.
“I want to help them win it back.”
"League of Legends World Championship?"
He had also heard of it.
"Um."
"What makes you think you can do it? From what I know, Savior is highly regarded internationally, and he's also not very old."
"Or do you think you can perform better than Bang?"
Although Li Xinheng did not object to his stupid younger brother becoming a professional player.
But he hoped that he had thought it over carefully rather than acting on impulse.
Only those who have played professionally know how difficult this road is.
Especially since this is South Korea.
This road is too winding.
Talent and hard work are both indispensable.
No one knows what Gumayusi said to his brother in the end.
However, the next day, Li Xinheng contacted SKT and arranged a special tryout for his brother.
SKT takes this matter very seriously and also highly recognizes the talent shown by Gumayusi.
So he became a trainee.
"Just keep trying, Gumayusi!"
While he was dealing with the rice cake fiercely, he was mad in his heart.
This is the ID he took.
He is now a professional player!
At 6:43 pm, Abu, with a bright smile on his face, shook hands with the top management of SKT with a slight tremor.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
It was hard for him to be unhappy.
Because, we really reached an agreement!
After losing S7, SKT has been attacked by Korean netizens.
Among them, the attacks on Lee Sang-hyuk were the most numerous.
There's nothing we can do about it. Who told him to be the face of SKT?
"He said he was the best mid laner in the world, but he stayed in the middle lane like a ghost for three games, barely roamed and got killed. Is he worthy of being the best mid laner in LCK?"
"The true world's best mid laner should be able to win all the time, right? How many times has SKT lost this year?"
"MSI, lost, Intercontinental Championship, lost, S Championship, lost! Who is the best mid laner in the world?"
"Come back my Scout, SKT needs you now!"
I can only say that Korean stalkers are really crazy.
Especially Samsung fans and KT fans.
Crazy cross-dressing as SKT fans, leading the trend online.
"First of all, I am not a fan of SSG. I have witnessed how glorious Faker was in the past. His contribution to SKT cannot be erased."
"But think about it, he debuted in S3, and now it's S8!"
"3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8! Last season was already his fifth year."
"This year's Faker doesn't have that kind of dominance anymore. His peak in five years is already outstanding."
"How much strength will he have next year?"
"Admit it!"
“Faker is old!”
"The best way for SKT to deal with this now is to buy back the young world No. 1 mid laner Scout, let Lee Sang-hyeok have a good rest, and play some rotation."
"Of course, if he wants to leave, I would suggest SSG."
"Because they have a strict hierarchy, Li Xianghe can get the greatest respect, and there will definitely be no situation where the four little ones talk back."
Under such public opinion, many SKT fans were also confused.
Apart from many of Lee Sang Hyuk's personal fans who are trying hard to argue, public opinion has already put all the blame on Lee Sang Hyuk.
It is hard to say how many people are behind this, and even some SKT players may be involved.
SKT was in a state of panic at this time.
After the entry of American capital, they took advantage of this situation and not only carried out a purge in the management, but also began to accept the real power of SKT.
Among them, Faker's contract is their main target.
As for this situation, people in the SK Group were actually happy to see it happen.
The reason is simple.
If Lee Sang-hyeok achieves results after leaving SKT, it will prove that American capital is a bunch of shit.
By then, under pressure from public opinion, everything may turn around.
That's what they plan to do.
As for Faker’s personal wishes?
ha……
What is that?
The time now is S7.
Before the kanavi contract incident broke out, LCK also did not have much protection for players' rights.
It's basically like their entertainment industry contracts, many contestants' contracts are essentially indentures.
It was not until the kanavi incident that the LCK competition system committee thoroughly investigated the contract.
The major LCK clubs have just signed a new and more reasonable contract.
And now... sorry, the players just don't have much rights.
Even Faker.
Once the club agrees, the player's personal wishes will not be taken seriously.
But having said that, why did Abu ask Guo Hao for help?
Because the player really can't resist, but he can play less seriously.
It can’t be said that I wasn’t serious, I just didn’t play with all my strength.
In this case, the club can't do anything about the players.
So even though there is no special protection, the club will generally try its best to unify the players' wishes.
After all, you can control the players' contracts, but can you also control whether the players try their best?
Although given Li Xianghe's professional qualities, this kind of thing is basically impossible.
But Abu still wanted to convince him, at least to make him feel less resistant to EDG.
If you spend money, you definitely want to get results!
This is the role of Guo Hao.
After reuniting with Abu, Guo Hao looked at Abu's eyes that were cheering him on.
“…Leave it to me.”
He nodded slightly.
He walked into the training room of SKT team one with the translator and stood behind Lee Sang Hyuk.
At this moment, there was no one in the SKT team's training room except Lee Sang-hyuk.
Fortunately, he was the only one who did not go home during the holiday, otherwise Guo Hao would have to go to where he lived to look for him.
Seems to have heard a sound.
Li Xianghe turned around in confusion and saw Guo Hao, whose face looked somewhat unfamiliar.
“You are…?”
The translator translated his words to Guo Hao, who smiled.
"Faker, we are here to pick you up on behalf of your team for next season."
When Li Xianghe heard the translation, he turned around without any change in his expression.
“Thank you for your love. I’m sorry, but I don’t plan to leave SKT.”
Guo Hao was not angry.
SKT's top management has already said that they have informed Lee Sang-hyuk.
So Lee Sang Hyuk should know about it.
The fact that he said this now probably means he really doesn't want to leave SKT.
"All the blame is on you, but even so, you have never thought about leaving?"
Guo Hao sat in the seat next to him, leaned forward slightly, and asked patiently.
This is to express your importance.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a very good fighter, so I don't think being scolded is something that's hard to accept. I may disappoint you."
Li Xianghe shook his head calmly.
"So, do you still want to win the championship next year?"
Guo Hao suddenly spoke.
"As a professional player, you haven't completely given up on your pursuit of the championship, right? If you stay in SKT, such a chaotic management will only hold you back."
Li Xianghe paused in his original action.
Guo Hao is right.
He received the notice a few days after the World Championship.
It's a notification, not a discussion.
He may be traded next season.
This puzzled Li Xianghe.
Although they failed to win the championship, SKT's behavior was still very abnormal.
So...is it because of the struggle among the top leaders?
Li Xianghe suddenly felt that they were a little boring.
"If you are at risk of being traded, how many other players can SKT keep? The bottom lane team announced before the World Championship that they would go to North America. Peanut may not be in SKT next year, and top laner Huni is also ready to go to North America. SKT will definitely be rebuilding next year."
"What kind of lineup will be left for you then?"
"As the only core, don't you feel wronged to be treated like this?"
Guo Hao spoke softly.
"Player Faker, next year will be your sixth year."
"Are you willing to spend the last period of your career training new people?"
Li Xianghe was silent for a while.
"I don't care. A truly strong professional player won't give up because of something like this. I can also train newcomers."
"I know you have deep feelings for SKT, but the difficulties are obviously more than that. Even if there are really talented newcomers, it will be difficult to train them in one or two seasons, right? Moreover, the top management is so chaotic now, and it is difficult to guarantee the team's condition and momentum."
Guo Hao spoke seriously.
But no matter what he said, Li Xianghe remained unmoved.
Just when Guo Hao felt helpless.
He thought of a piece of gossip circulating on the Internet, and suddenly spoke.
"We, EDG, are very sincere."
EDG?
...Scout?
Li Xianghe's eyes moved.
"What about your original mid laner?"
"...In fact, we have done a contract swap with SKT for the mid laner. Scout will come to SKT next year. This is also his wish."
Although he felt helpless that Lee Sang-hyuk thought he was a member of EDG, Guo Hao still explained diligently.
Abu told him this.
This kind of thing cannot be kept secret, and Guo Hao is quite tight-lipped, so there is no need to worry about the news leaking.
Li Xianghe fell into deep thought.
One of the reasons why he doesn't want to leave SKT is that he doesn't want to see the club that discovered him decline after he leaves.
And if the mid laner is replaced by Scout...
Li Xianghe still approves of it, so I can rest assured.
etc……
EDG?
Li Xianghe thought of the person who played duo with him until midnight yesterday.
Even though he kept losing, he still didn't feel disgusted at all.
He has a terrible temper.
Playing against a player like this...seems pretty good?
He has always admired Savior, and as he got to know him more, he liked him more.
Li Xianghe suddenly spoke.
"Can I ask you something?"
Guo Hao cheered up.
Sure enough, his resistance was much less when talking about EDG.
But…why?
Guo Hao was a little confused, but that didn't stop him from being happy.
If Lee Sang-hyuk really transfers to EDG, it will be an epic earthquake!
He didn't dare to imagine what the situation would be like at that time.
"you say!"
"EDG's AD player, Savior."
"Hasn't his contract ended?"
"Has he renewed his contract for next year?"
"If he doesn't renew his contract, then please bear with me, I will still refuse."
Li Xianghe didn't even blink and looked seriously at Guo Hao who was sitting next to him.
Meaning, if Heo Yuan renews his contract, Lee Sang Hyuk won't refuse?
Guo Hao's enterprise-level understanding immediately began to take effect.
He said wait a moment and told Abu the news.
Abu: Huh?
At this moment, he felt quite amused.
Heo Yuan said he would renew the contract if Lee Sang Hyuk came.
Lee Sang Hyuk said he would go if Heo Yeon renewed his contract.
Then this... ?
It's just like you need graduation equipment to join a group, but you can't graduate without passing this dungeon.
But if that's the case, then it can be considered that we have reached an agreement with Lee Sang Hyuk, right?
Abu immediately told Guo Hao, "Tell him that we have renewed the contract!"
Guo Hao nodded and gave him a confident smile.
A few minutes later, Guo Hao walked out with a smile.
"He agreed and the transfer went through."
“Okay, okay!”
Abu wanted to hug Guo Hao and kiss him.
Awesome, Rat!
"But he has one small condition."
Guo Hao continued.
Abu frowned and spoke cautiously.
"What?"
"He hopes we can sign coach Kkoma, otherwise he won't go."
Abu was stunned.
There is such a good thing?!
Only then did he remember that Lee Sang Hyuk was bound to kkoma.
What else is there to say?
"Sign! Must sign!"
On the 13th, the two parties signed a formal contract.
On the same day, Lee Sang-hyuk also took kkoma, who had been under ideological persuasion for several days, and followed Abu to board the plane back to EDG.
EDG.Kkoma, connection successful!
EDG.Faker, connection successful!
