With the double C officially in place, the contract of support Meiko has not yet ended, and at this time EDG only has the top and jungle positions that have not been determined.
On Smeb's side, EDG has been communicating with him.
Smeb himself is willing to renew his contract. The six months of partnership with Xu Yuan this year can be regarded as the most comfortable six months in his professional career.
The bottom lane that never has any problems is the best of all top lane players.
What's more, Xu Yuan is not the kind of person who can't play the game without help.
So the contract was finalized very quickly.
After being given a very reasonable top lane contract again, Smeb readily chose to renew his contract.
Some people may ask, did Smeb come to this year's summer season, but his contract was only signed for half a year?
Not really, it’s a one-year contract.
But now after winning the championship, the player's value will naturally increase, and there are quite a few teams pursuing Smeb.
Therefore, EDG naturally has to give him enough respect and re-sign the contract to show their importance to him.
Is there anyone who really thinks that a contract cannot be terminated?
Even a contract written in black and white is not necessarily absolutely safe.
The player's own wishes actually hold the initiative to a large extent.
There are definitely quite a few teams willing to pay the penalty for Smeb.
So after EDG achieved this goal, Smeb had no intention of leaving and was ready to stay for another year.
In his words:
"The Savior is still here, so there's no need to leave."
After completing his wish of revenge against SKT, Smeb now has only one goal, which is to become the world's number one top laner.
It's not about strength, it's about honor.
He is not the FMVP player this year, so compared to S5's world's No. 1 top laner Ma Dao, his honors are still a little thin.
[PS: Ma Datou and Damatou are not the same person. Ma Datou refers to the S5 FMVP top laner SKT.Marin, while Damatou is a slightly derogatory term referring to IG.Theshy. ]
For Smeb at this moment, being a champion top laner is not enough to become the best top laner in history, right?
Then I'll take two!
And this possibility is only available to outstanding players like Xu Yuan.
This is also the reason why he chose to stay with the team.
Otherwise, if you really have no aspirations, just go to North America and make money.
After listening to his ideas, Xu Yuan also told him about the new season's mid-lower double C combination and asked him to think about it again.
Xu Yuan thought so:
Smeb wants revenge on SKT, which means he hates SKT
He hates SKT, which means he hates Faker.
Rather than arguing later, it’s better to make things clear in advance.
Smeb didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Just because I want revenge on SKT doesn't mean I hate SKT."
I can only say that Tang Niu’s inequality is still too supermodel-like, and Xu Yuan was defeated in seconds.
Although Smeb has always been upset about losing to SKT.
But at that time, it was a complete loss in a head-on confrontation.
Smeb accepted the defeat sincerely.
It's more of an obsession, not that he hates SKT.
Not to mention hating Lee Sang Hyuk.
In LCK, it is hard to find a player who is not a skilled player.
LCK players are generally proficient in various disciplines, and Smeb is no exception.
"But I'll tease him a little these days."
Smeb smiled mysteriously.
"Let's see if Xianghe will get angry."
Xu Yuan expressed his expectation for this.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for the transfer period to officially begin.
On the first day of the transfer period, EDG immediately received offers from more than ten clubs, all targeting Xu Yuan!
The first is RNG, which offered a price of 24 million per year.
This is the largest offer RNG has received in all these years.
However, a 3+2 contract needs to be signed.
Three-year contract + priority two-year contract renewal right.
EDG didn't even notify Xu Yuan.
What level are you at RNG? Still dreaming of signing a 3+2?
If our Yuanzi really wants to sign a 3+2 contract, he will definitely sign with us. What is there in RNG that is worthy of our Yuanzi's going?
Assist?
Haha, is Tian Ye worse than Xiao Ming?
system?
Haha, EDG doesn’t know how to use four to protect one?
Food?
This was really hard to say before, but now EDG is definitely far ahead.
In the summer season, EDG changed its master chefs several times.
Abu’s only goal was to ensure that Xu Yuan had good food and drink.
There's no other way. If your home team has such a talented player, you must treat him like a treasure.
In addition to RNG, JDG and SN each offered a two-year contract worth 27 million per year.
EDG told Xu Yuan the news seriously.
Because as long as the offer is reasonable , the contestants definitely have the right to know.
And... without comparison, how can you see how generous our EDG's contract is?
A 1+1 contract worth 31 million, this is the treatment offered by EDG.
One-year contract plus one-year right of first renew.
It can be said that he values ​​Xu Yuan very much.
While the contract period is so short, the price offered can still be said to be a record high for the AD position.
EDG really spent a lot of money to keep Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan didn't try to resist and just signed.
The sincerity is already enough to this extent, coupled with the arrival of Lee Sang-hyuk.
There is no reason to refuse.
EDG originally wanted to announce it directly, but due to the request of Tencent Esports, it had to hold it in.
This also made EDG fans feel uneasy at this time.
EDG super topic.
"Why is there no movement since the transfer period started? Have you renewed Savior's contract? Don't let him go at the last minute."
"Does this rebellious EDG really dare to do such a thing? Then I'm going to go to the LAN and kill Abu alone."
"It's hard to say. EDG didn't recruit many players last year. No one knows what price they can offer this year. What if they really can't keep them?"
"Savior's value should have gone through the roof... A first championship at the age of 17 plus a Finals MVP, these are among the best among all the talented players. Can EDG really keep him?"
"The most important thing is to look at the player's own wishes. The documentary also made it very clear that Savior came to EDG because of the factory. The factory may not be able to play next year. If the factory withdraws, what attraction will EDG have for Savior?"
The atmosphere in EDG Super Topic is a bit low.
Although EDG doesn't seem to be short of money, they didn't recruit many new players last year. Who knows what their financial situation is like?
And a player as young as Xu Yuan has already won the S championship and is still the absolute carry core.
Almost anyone who buys it will already be a top C position player, and he is incredibly young, with a peak period of at least another three to five years.
Such players can be used as the core of future team building.
An ADC who has proven himself countless times in unfavorable situations will be sought after.
Almost everyone knows that Xu Yuan’s net worth this year is likely to top the entire LPL.
Because he is only seventeen years old and has already achieved good results!
This is a very scary thing.
Therefore, the conditions offered to him by other clubs must be very generous.
And there are even barriers to entry.
I don't plan to invest too much next year, and the roster is not competitive.
You are not qualified to talk to EDG at all.
While the girls in EDG’s super chat were worried, other clubs were frantically taking over.
The RNG super topic went crazy.
"Which company has the best four-protection-one technology? A'enji, Shanghai, China!"
"Come here, my Yuanshen. I believe that Yuanshen's four protect one!"
"The club that is most suitable for Yuan Shen!"
"You pig, are you getting anxious? Hahaha, I'll give it to your AD this year!"
However, there are still fans of Uzi in the current RNG super topic.
"No, do you really think Savior can play better than Uzi if he comes?"
"It's ridiculous. Who can carry these four losers? Even if they can, they can't come. Why do they need to train with weights?"
"What an idiot! This is the face of the emperor! Uzi's return from QG is like a wanderer returning home, but I didn't expect you guys didn't even treat him as one of your own. It's really heartbreaking!"
"Isn't Uzi's performance this year bad? Isn't it just that he can't beat Savior? Who else can match Uzi? Now you want to change AD? Huang Za is really dead."
"Tiger's fans are really awesome. Just like your master, they only think about sucking up to him every day. They don't even realize how stinky a piece of shit they are!"
"Let's go! Tiger! Bright! RNG's three major departments! Do other clubs have this kind of cancer? Let me ask you."
"I wonder what RNG can achieve without Uzi!"
However, Uzi's crazy fans completely underestimated the strength of the current RNG super topic.
By the way, the current RNG super topic has been ceded to Yuanza.
They're bragging about Uzi's role here now.
For Chaohua Yuanza...
Bro, what champion are you?
Yuan Za directly took over the battlefield, scolding the crazy fans so much that they were speechless and could only worry.
Regular army, that's it.
The forum at this time was quite funny.
Because Xu Yuan's true identity was completely exposed.
During this period, executing Xu Yuan on the forum has become one of the necessary parts of Maggot Baby's daily routine.
He would often post a screenshot of Xu Yuanrui's comments on Uzi, and then add a sentence: "Brothers, is what Yuanshen said right?"
Then the following people all said, “That’s right, that’s right, brother!”
The Godzilla in the forum was killed and ran away in panic.
Facts have proved that today's pork offal is still quite combat-effective.
EDG just won the championship.
If this can't kill Huang Za, then it's too exaggerated.
As the transfer period begins, there have been many analyses of where Xu Yuan will go next year.
The most exaggerated one is a post by Bullfrog Frog:
[Rational discussion, what will be the outcome of Yuan Shen's S8 transfer? 】
"The host is old and piggy. He likes Yuan Shen very much."
“But we have to admit that the probability of EDG keeping Yuan Shen next year is really low.”
"I'll post all the endings of Yuan Shen's transfer in S8, and you can rate them!"
At the urging of the baby maggot, the bullfrog began its performance.
[Ending 1: Yuan Shen chooses to leave EDG, joins RNG and finally wins the championship]
“The most eye-popping episode!”
"An episode of royal ecstasy!"
"The dog blew the last breath, the real father is coming!"
"If Yuan Shen really joins RNG and helps RNG win a championship, then the LPL should have come to an end ."
"It's true! Royal offal plus pork offal, I can't even imagine how terrifying the number of fans is."
[Ending 2: Yuan Shen joins SKT and becomes a legend with Lee Sang Hyuk! ]
"A most rare episode!"
"Pure science, where is the Abyss God? [Smile]"
"This is the most frightening episode! Lee Sang Hyuk is already so powerful, what will happen if these two people join together?"
"Han Za had to laugh out loud in the middle of the night. Is there such a good thing?"
[Ending 3: Yuan Shen stayed in EDG and won another championship with his junior, becoming one of the candidates for the world's strongest double C. One man, one city, and the one who promised is as good as Yuan! ]
"The most tear-jerking episode. I really want to see Yuan Shen stay in the team."
"This is the most impossible episode. EDG can keep Yuan Shen but cannot keep Xiao Di. Can the double C still have the same effect as before if one of them is replaced?"
"This is an episode where a Huang Za fan turns to a hater. I am Huang Za, and now I am a die-hard fan of Yuan Shen. If I stay in the team, I will become a hater."
This post is very popular. Apart from the first few, the ones that follow are getting more and more outrageous.
[Yuan Shen joins the Chinese national football team and enters the World Cup! 】
[Yuan Shen is selected as an astronaut. His small step is a big step for civilization]
[Yuan Shen joined the Rockets, Yao Ming praised him as the best partner? 】
[Yuan Shen announced his retirement and joined the entertainment industry. He became a top star in one year. He really became a big brother! 】
[Yuan Shen traveled through Attack on Titan and was directly questioned: Yuan Shen, why was my mother eaten that day? 】
[Yuan Shen announced that he would enter the civil engineering industry, and practiced plastering techniques day and night, becoming the world's number one plastering immortal! ]
All I can say is it is as outrageous as it can be.
At this time, Abu was in distress.
Jungler, who are you looking for?
"Have you really thought about it?"
He still couldn't help but asked Mingkai again.
"Why not retire? I'm not good enough now. It's hard to get back to the state where I barely beat the opponent when I won the championship this year."
Mingkai shook his head calmly and let out a breath.
"If we continue to fight, we will only drag down Yuanzi and the others."
Mingkai is a very rational person.
In this year’s championship year, he knew he didn’t play very well.
Strictly speaking, he just made it impossible for his opponents to do anything.
It would be too difficult for him to break through the opposing jungler on his own.
And now, the championship has been won.
His dream was truly fulfilled.
Why continue fighting?
The degradation of state is irreversible.
Training can be slowed down, but it cannot be reversed.
S8, can I still be in that state?
Mingkai really doesn’t think so.
Having played professionally for so many years, he is not a lazy person.
It's no use trying.
This is the cruelest thing.
Why is it more hateful when talented players play badly than when they are simply bad players?
Because the talents they waste are things that others can never dream of getting, and are willing to do anything for them.
When I was young, I didn’t train hard. My first goal in the game was to have fun. Then, when I was stepped on by new talented players, I would sigh and say:
Ah, I'm old. If I were young, I would be able to fight.
You can beat the Bull Demon to reward me!
People who waste their talents don't deserve any affection, including sympathy.
Mingkai hated that, so he trained very hard.
As his age increased neither fast nor slow, he knew in his heart that there was nothing he could do.
As a professional player with self-respect, all he could do was leave in a dignified manner.
Give fans the best memories.
Can't he just stay in EDG for another year? Mingkai can't do it.
So when faced with Abu's questioning, he still shook his head calmly.
"By the way, where's the spicy hotpot? How's his contract? Can you get it? I heard before that his contract is a child labor contract."
Mingkai was also helping to think of a suitable jungler, and suddenly spoke up.
The child labor contract was basically signed during youth training, similar to the first contract with Xu Yuan.
The prices are generally not high.
"Oh……"
Abu couldn't help laughing when he thought about the exchange at that time.
"RNG said they would give us Xiang Guo, but they wanted to increase the price and rent Xu Yuan for a year."
"Dreaming?"
Mingkai was so angry that he laughed.
Byd has a nice idea, a youth training contract in exchange for a championship AD contract, right?
"Who says it's not?"
"Can't we just buy it? What do you think of the spicy hotpot?"
“You can’t buy it.”
Abu sighed.
"I really don't know what the RNG contract is like. Xiang Guo's liquidated damages are in eight figures, and it's three figures."
“Although Xiang Guo himself did not refuse to come, it was too expensive.”
Three eight-digit numbers?
Mingkai was shocked.
This price is comparable to Xu Yuan’s net worth.
And now Xu Yuan’s worth is already the highest salary in LPL.
At this time, the ranking of the value of each position is roughly as follows:
Mid laner > AD > Jungle > Top laner > Support.
The mid laner commands the overall situation, and the AD provides guarantee in the late game.
This pair of C is definitely the most expensive, followed by the jungler.
So paying more than 30 million for Xiangguo is almost impossible.
Not to mention EDG, it's impossible for anyone to do it.
“How cruel…”
Mingkai couldn't help but sigh.
RNG is awesome!
Could it be that Xiang Guo has signed some messy non-compete agreement?
After the contract is completed, I can prepare to retire.
Mingkai felt that he was overthinking it, there was no reason for RNG to be so ruthless.
"well."
The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
Since Smeb and Faker have already been confirmed as the mid and top players, there is basically no need to consider the Korean jungler.
After excluding Xiangguo, the only jungler left is Condi, but WE has no chance of letting him go.
"Let's find a new guy. It's better to train him than to hire a rubbish jungler."
After thinking about it, Abu made the final decision.
There is still some plasticity among newcomers.
The strength of the top, middle and bottom lanes has been maximized, and this lineup does not really put much pressure on the jungler.
Because the C position is strong enough, the requirements for the jungler can be lowered a bit.
This is the only solution.
Instead of finding a piece of junk, find one with potential.
Do what you say.
After getting the information of all the newcomers that could be purchased, Abu found Xu Yuan.
There is no need to ask the mid and top players, as they have no idea about the situation of the LPL junglers.
Abu just wanted Xu Yuan to make a choice.
Abu will choose the jungler he thinks he likes more.
In this way, even if the jungle effect is not good, at least Xu Yuan can play comfortably.
It is very important to ensure Xu Yuan's experience.
Although Xu Yuan was a little surprised, he readily agreed.
If we talk about potential junglers now...
Those are definitely the three junglers who originally won the championship.
Without a doubt, the first person to be affected must be Ning.
Ning's talent is unquestionable, and he was also the FMVP player of S8.
Although he is criticized for having stinky shoes, he can always bite Tarzan when he comes back on the court even if he hasn't played a game for two or three years. It can be said that he is the absolute limit in terms of rhythm jungle.
It’s a pity that Ning has already gone to IG, so there is no chance.
So, after excluding Ning...
"Brother Bu, have you heard of a contestant named Jiejie?"
Xu Yuan suddenly asked.
He is not sure whether Jiejie has joined EDG now.
"jiejie? No, you think highly of him?"
Abu thought for a moment and shook his head, then asked tentatively.
"I've been in the queue, it's pretty fierce."
Xu Yuan smiled and passed it off, thinking to himself that it was as expected.
During the period from 2017 to early 2018, Jiejie should not have joined EDG yet.
Ning is on IG, Jiejie has not appeared yet and no one knows where she is now.
The remaining potential...
Xu Yuan flipped through the information and smiled faintly.
Found it.
"That's him."
He pointed at the document with certainty.
Abu nodded without hesitation.
"good!"
He turned around in a hurry and said, "I'll contact them right away, wait for my news!"
Only Xu Yuan was left with a look of shock.
Guigui, Abu’s action!
At the same time, somewhere.
Outside the somewhat dark room, a woman with a worried look on her face knocked on the door.
"Come out for dinner!"
"knew."
A muffled response came from the room.
The woman walked silently to the living room and sighed again.
"Why are you sighing all day long? Are you unhappy that the child is back?"
The middle-aged man sitting opposite her had a headache.
"It's all your fault! Now that the child is back, he hardly talks and just stays in his room all day!"
The woman glared at him.
"I told you long ago, why not pursue a career? It's better to work with us. The child has always been very smart."
"The path of a child's life should not be decided by their parents."
The middle-aged man shook his head.
“We should support him.”
"You are pretending to be a good person. Who doesn't want the child to be well? Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"
The woman snorted.
This caused the middle-aged man to smile awkwardly.
The room was very dark.
His hair had grown long enough to cover his eyes, but the skinny boy with glasses didn't seem to notice at all and was still staring at the screen intently.
It didn't take long for him to finish the game.
I stared blankly at the rankings and sighed.
"Failed again..."
The career path is not as easy as imagined.
Although he has successfully become a LSPL player, he seems to be able to see a bright and brilliant future through the crack in the door.
But it’s just a door after all.
Entering the LPL means you have truly made your start on the professional path.
But... they didn't make it to the LPL this year.
What does the future hold?
He doesn't know.
At least now, it is bleak.
But it's not completely impossible to go.
The manager who treated him indifferently said so.
"Knight said he wanted you to come with him, but we can't give you many chances. You should know this, right?"
"But it's not completely impossible. Think about it more."
His good friend was spotted by an LPL club, and when signing the contract, he asked the other party to sign him as well.
This is indeed a path.
But at least... bring some charity.
He knew it was a good friend's kindness.
But he also has self-respect.
It's hard to accept this kind of thing.
"Forget it... You're already like this, you should be thankful that someone wants you."
He slapped his face.
Finally, the decision has to be made.
go……
Ding-a-ling!
The phone rang and he was a little confused.
It's vacation time now, who would contact me?
When he saw the club manager’s name displayed on the WeChat call, he became even more confused.
"Hello?"
"Is that Xiaotian? Where are you now?"
The manager's voice was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal.
"I'm home, what's wrong?"
Xiaotian was confused.
"EDG specifically requested your transfer, and you will definitely be the starting player!"
The sound over there suddenly became louder.
At this time...
Xiaotian's mind also buzzed and became completely blank.
E...EDG?
Isn't that... this year's championship club?
LPL’s first championship team!
Xiaotian watched EDG win the championship.
When he saw EDG holding the trophy, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable longing.
Among them, he was also impressed by the performance of ADC player Savior.
He had never seen such an exaggerated player.
Stable support, never lost in the laning phase.
He is a player that makes people feel that "it would be unreasonable if such a player didn't win the championship."
And now...
EDG, sent him an invitation?
Or is it an absolute first release?!
Xiaotian's originally gloomy sky seemed to...
It’s on!
Time passed by little by little, and the Demacia Cup was about to begin.
The transfer period is also coming to an end.
And at this moment, the much-anticipated EDG finally released the news.
EDG Esports Club:
#EDGAnnouncement
[EDG eSports Club Personnel Change Announcement]
“Everyone has his own dreams, and they are all wonderful.
After friendly communication and negotiation between the two parties, former EDG mid laner Li Lican (ID: Scout) has chosen to leave the team from today.
Scout is an aggressive player with a daring fighting style and strong output capabilities, and he has performed well in the world competition.
He used to be the one who carried hope for the future.
And now, the story has come to a perfect ending.
Thank you for your contribution to EDG. We will never forget that outstanding boy and that enchanting enchantress.
There will always be a time to ride on the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean.
Thanks, EDG.Scout! "
This piece of news instantly made EDG fans’ CPUs burn out.
"??? Mid laner too!? EDG you are so cute!"
"No, this mid laner is not good enough? What do you want to do? The next one won't be Thanks, EDG.Savior, right?"
"ah?"
"EDG is crazy! Stupid club!"
The mother’s defense was broken immediately.
What's going on?
Why didn’t Scout renew its contract?
It must be your EDG’s problem!
But before they could charge, EDG immediately announced the contract renewal of Smeb and Xu Yuan.
Some piglets who originally wanted to charge:
Oh, that's okay.
As long as God Yuan is still here, that's enough!
Everyone can see which of the two Cs is more important.
Tian Ye's contract has not ended, so it is still there naturally.
Then came three announcements in a row.
EDG Esports Club:
#EDGAnnouncement
[EDG eSports Club Personnel Change Announcement]
"After friendly communication and negotiation between the two parties, YM team jungler Gao Tianliang (ID: Tian) will join EDG e-sports club as a jungler starting today.
Tian has an aggressive style, dares to fight and has strong output ability. He has performed well in the game. Can this young player lead EDG to continue to shine and become the successor of Clearlove?
Let's wait and see!
I hope that Tian’s joining can inject new vitality into the team, make the tactical system more diverse and enriched, and create more brilliant results again!
Welcome, EDG.Tian! "
There is actually news that the team is going to change the jungler.
Because Mingkai is a big leak, he said during the live broadcast that he would take a break next year.
So the fans weren't too excited.
The factory won the championship. I am satisfied.
The factory is in a state where it cannot continue to operate.
Just...Tian?
Who is this?
Question first, question again!
That's their attitude.
But before they could question for long, EDG’s second message came out.
EDG Esports Club:
#EDGAnnouncement
[EDG eSports Club Personnel Change Announcement]
"After friendly communication and negotiation between the two parties, SKT mid laner Lee Sang Hyuk (ID: Faker) will join EDG E-sports Club as a mid laner starting today.
Faker is undoubtedly a legendary player.
The debut was the peak, and it has always been at the peak!
We can see his outstanding performance in the World Championship.
He is a cold and decisive assassin in the shadows, he is an elegant dancer on the battlefield, he is a giant of justice who saves the world!
The young man named Li Xianghe left his legend everywhere in the canyon.
And now, he is full of honors.
I will definitely be able to lead EDG to greater success and surpass myself!
Welcome, EDG.Faker! "
Before everyone could react, EDG sent out the last message.
Smeb is on the top lane, Tian is in the jungle, Faker is in the mid lane, and Savior and Meiko are in the bottom lane.
This is the EDG lineup for S8!
And in the coach column, there was an ID that made Zhuza faint:
kkoma!
Triple Crown Coach!
Three-time champion midfielder!
Have they all been given to you, EDG?
ah?
Abu, did you forget to turn off the automatic pickup when you visited the SKT base?
Can you pick this up?!
At this time, as the news spread.
The SKT fans who were just watching the show were sadly annoyed to find out:
Damn, my house is gone! ?
