Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

RNG used the four-protect-one tactical system to defeat the IG trident and won the summer championship. GSL's remarks on media such as Tieba, Bilibili, and Douyin became arrogant again.

the reason is simple.

At present, the strength ratio of the IG team is very similar to that of EDG. Without considering the top single variable, it is no problem to say that it is an enhanced version of EDG.

——Rookie's overall performance this year is slightly better than Scout, with the two sides roughly 40:60; Ning is not as good as Karsa, the wolf king, in a favorable situation, but is more likely to stand out in an unfavorable situation; there is no essential difference between JackeyLove+Baolan and Iboy+Meiko, and the two combinations are on the same level.

Since RNG can rely on Letme in the "All Are Equal" period to hold off The shy and create space for UZI to play, they certainly have a chance to defeat EDG which has replaced Ye Tian!
[Are you still crying for pig offal? UZI led the team to win the summer championship, and EDG may not even make it to the bubble match]

[Is playing with permissions useful? Can the Asian Games be compared with the S-League? ]

[That's right, putting together a temporary team to play a game is really worth it. I don't know what Zhuza was bragging about a few days ago.]

[Only three regions participated, the others were all rubbish, not as good as MSI]

[Some people are really good at adding drama to LOL. They can say anything about it being a popular event in the Asian Games, national attention, and government endorsement]

[The funniest thing is that some idiots are using Guodian to flatter themselves, forgetting what Guodian meant in the beginning? Do you want to learn more about the blitzkrieg on Poland?]

[EDG just paid for a power leveler. Without a power leveler, they would be at most at the quarterfinals level. How dare they make a fool of themselves?]

[Top 8? No chance of even making the top 16 this year, just stay home]

GSL doesn’t have the courage to attack Ye Tian.

But GSL not only has the courage to attack EDG based on this year's game results, but it is also very big.

9 month 16 day.

EDG and JDG, who ranked fourth and fifth in points throughout the year, will play in the first round of bubble matches.

Since JDG has a record of defeating EDG with a score of 3-1, it is more favored by the audience.

What is unexpected is that only ten days later, EDG showed a completely different strength and defeated JDG 3-1, avenging its defeat in the playoffs.

9 month 18 day.

EDG vs. RW.

This battle will determine the third seed of LPL.

Before the game even started, Ye Tian felt that EDG had a sure win.

the reason is simple.

The main reason why RW team ranks first in the Western Conference is based on Doinb's roaming and Sima Laozei's ability to use a series of AP heroes such as Karthus, Crow, Vladimir, Morgana, and Great Inventor according to the version. It is both seasonal and accidental, and it is impossible to maintain it forever.

As everyone's understanding and cognition gradually matured, AD heroes returned to the game, and RW's bottom lane lost an arm.

——Sima Laozei’s personal ability is about in the upper-middle level of LPL. It is easy for him to bully weak teams, but he does not have an advantage against strong teams. His experience and understanding of team battles that are better than Iboy are not reflected when both sides use AD heroes.

After all, Iboy is good at team play, and he has the reaction speed of an 18-year-old to make up for the occasional small mistakes.

Mouse has limited talent. He picked Mundo for twenty games in the summer season to avoid confrontation and it did not become a shortcoming. Among the three reworked OP top laners, Mouse could not even play Aatrox, not to mention Irelia and Akali, two operational heroes that require a lot of personal support.

As for Doinb…

In terms of laning alone, Scout is able to suppress even Rookie.

In front of the three mid laners, Allah, Buddha and Wu Tian, ​​Doinb is just a monkey that cannot jump out of the Five Finger Mountain.

Even though Doinb's strength has improved to a certain extent compared to the past, the gap between him and Scout is still at a large level.

Doinb wants to roam?
Live well first!
As Ye Tian expected, after the adjustments, EDG found it much easier to play against RW than against JDG.

In the first game, Scout used Tsar to crush Doinb's Yasuo, in the second game, he used Tsar to crush Doinb's Galio, and in the third game, he used Ryze to counter-attack and crush Cassiopeia.

Iboy's performance was better than Sima Laozei's.

Even though Ray had a streak in the top lane, EDG still defeated RW without any trouble and advanced to the S8 finals as the third seed of LPL.

"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Tian!"

“We’ve made it to S8!”

Iboy found Ye Tian right after attending the departure ceremony and said, "Brother Tian, ​​please lead us to the battle again this year!"

"That depends on EDG's attitude." Ye Tian received several offers during this period.

Europe's second seed G2, North America's second seed 100T, and third seed C9 have all contacted Ye Tian. Even FNC's self-proclaimed "godfather" manager took the initiative to contact him a second time after seeing EDG beat JDG.

The asking prices of these people were relatively uniform, ranging from thirty to thirty-five million, and no one offered much higher. This shows that more than thirty million was a psychological price arrived at after calculation.

Ye Tian negotiated for a higher amount, and the maximum would be 40 million.

Considering that G2's mid laner is still Ap, who has little competitiveness, and 100T and C9 also do not have the strength to compete for the world championship, as long as the money offered by EDG is not too different, Ye Tian can take another order.

A few hours later.

After the celebration banquet, Abu and the factory manager came over together.

The three of them were on the balcony, looking at the river view, sipping a bottle of iced black tea that cost four yuan, and chatting about a business worth tens of millions.

"We finally got here, and this is the treat?"

The factory manager gulped down a quarter of the bottle and wiped his mouth: "You are worth hundreds of millions at least, get some good tea. What was the tea I drank in Ed Zhu's office last time? It tastes much better than this."

"You, an old guy who eats instant noodles and sleeps in Internet cafes, can appreciate tea?" Ye Tian sneered: "Five or six years ago, you were probably still getting water in the bathroom. You would wake up laughing in your dreams if you drank iced black tea."

"Ant claws are ant claws. Do you understand now?" the factory director said confidently.

"Don't worry, don't do this." Ye Tian said to the factory manager, but his eyes were on Abu: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who gets carried away by success. As long as the conditions given by EDG are not too bad, I can play."

When the factory manager heard this, his face turned red.

Abu remained calm and said, "Since you said so, Ye Tian, ​​I will be more direct. No matter what price other teams give you, EDG will try to get higher. We will definitely not let you suffer too much."

The contract signed last year only restricted Ye Tian from joining other LPL clubs, and there was no restriction on clubs outside the LPL.

It’s not that EDG didn’t consider this.

But Ye Tian was just a rising star at that time, and it was unknown whether he could be competent in LPL.

Even if Abu overestimated Ye Tian, ​​he could not have imagined that the wealthy clubs outside the LPL region would wave large sums of money to invite Ye Tian to play as a substitute in the World Championship.

As a result, Ye Tian exploded.

With the record of Tongtiandai last year and the brilliant performance in this year's Asian Games, the European and American giants with the words "stupid, rich, come quickly" written on their faces will inevitably be tempted and put it into action.

If EDG offered the same 15 million gambling contract, Ye Tian would definitely not even look at it.

"FNC gave 100 million, 9T gave million, and C gave million."

Ye Tian did not hide it: "These three are signing fees, there is no requirement for grades, I will go and negotiate, it shouldn't be too difficult to get 40 million."

"I understand." Abu heaved a sigh of relief: "To be honest, EDG can only give you 30 million at most, you see..."

The commercial value of the S series champion is very high.

Especially with the rampant use of PUBG cheats, the popularity of PUBG gradually faded, and League of Legends players returned due to the S7 Bird's Nest championship, increasing the daily activity, and the EDG club gained more than a dozen sponsors, with a significant increase in revenue. However.

After winning the championship, EDG paid more costs to retain the championship team.

In addition, the largest part of the commercial value lies in Ye Tian personally, and the EDG club only gets a small share, so the irresponsible price of 30 million is already the best they can do.

"no problem."

Ye Tian agreed immediately.

Compared with FNC's expansion and 100T and C9's weakness, EDG's overall strength and attitude are very good.

Scout, Iboy, and Meiko all have traces of Ye Tian. The Wolf King Karsa is good at playing in favorable situations and, comparatively speaking, it is easier for him to achieve something in the World Championship.

Negotiate a good price.

Sign the contract with a lawyer.

Ye Tian left Datian Manor again and moved into the EDG base, leaving his empty room alone.

"Hong Haoxuan, remember, you have to open it if I tell you to."

"Don't worry about whether you can win."

The first thing Ye Tian did was to teach Karsa: "You always think about it when you hear your teammates' commands. If you are slow at the critical moment, the direction of the team battle will be completely different. When you are with me, you don't need to have your own thinking, just throw your brain away."

Wolf King Karsa has always been called the "Bay Factory". The reason is that Flash Wolves FW is a civil war phantom god that is more dominant than EDG. As the core of the team, Karsa will naturally choose a stable style of play.

In addition, Karsa has a flaw - the pace is full in the first fifteen minutes, and his anti-camping ability is unmatched in the entire map, but after fifteen minutes he starts to sleepwalk.

You can still join in the game when you have an advantage.

In a balanced or disadvantageous situation, if you don't specifically look for Karsa, it's easy to overlook where Karsa is, giving the audience a feeling that he's nowhere to be found.

The early game rhythm doesn't need to be changed, Karsa did a great job.

Just make adjustments in the mid-term team battle.

Iboy and Meiko had just played in the Asian Games with Ye Tian, ​​and they had a good enough level of tacit understanding.

Compared to last year, the younger Scout wants to prove himself more, which is not a bad thing in this environment where personal ability is very important and does not need to be corrected.

As the time goes.

Version 8.19 used in the World Finals has officially arrived.

In this version, the basic damage of Akali's two R stages was weakened, Akali's burst was reduced, the healing of the E skill and the attack power of the R skill of the Sword Demon were increased, which improved the combat power of the Sword Demon in the late stage. At the same time, the two first-generation heavy-armored warriors, Noxus and Fiora, were strengthened.

Read the update announcement.

The EDG team boarded the plane to Seoul.

While waiting in the VIP lounge of Pudong Airport, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and checked Tieba, and happened to see an analysis post of the S8 finals.

[There are a total of 8 teams participating in S24, of which 8 teams are from the wildcard regions. Among them, the third seed of LMS and the qualifying team of the Vietnam region have not yet been determined. Considering the disparity in strength between the wildcard regions and the six major regions, it is assumed that the 16 teams that will enter the final stage are all from the six major regions. I personally think they can be roughly divided into four tiers.]

[First tier: RNG, IG, KT]

[Second tier: AFS, FW, Gen.G]

[Third Tier: FNC, TL, VCSTBD]

[Fourth tier: C9, G2, 100T, TV, MAD, LMSTBD]

[Among all the teams, RNG should have a clear advantage. The players in each position are world-class players in terms of ability and experience. The tactical system is the most complete and changeable. At the same time, the team has almost no obvious shortcomings. What they need to do is mainly to adjust their status. I personally think that even against IG and KT, RNG has more than 70% chance of winning.]

[KT is strong in that most of its members are former world champions, with rich team experience and strong operational capabilities. However, compared with RNG and IG, there is still a lot of room for individual growth. The individual abilities of most KT players have basically reached their ceiling, and it is expected to be difficult for them to reach the top of the S8 finals.]

[Overall prediction, I think the first three teams have the highest probability of entering the semi-finals, and if luck is good, RNG and IG can defend the upper and lower halves in the knockout stage, the probability of the two teams meeting in the finals is higher]

[AFS and FW should be on par with each other. AFS has a more evenly matched team, and top laner Kiin has a stronger individual ability. FW is good at Bo1 assault, and mid laner Maple is not bad. AFS and FW should be ahead of Gen.G in strength overall, and these three teams have a higher chance of staying in the top eight and competing for the top four]

...

...

After a variety of analyses, another paragraph was added.

[EDG is a special team and is not included in the table. Without Tian Ge, the overall level of EDG would be at the bottom of the second tier or at the top of the third tier. If EDG can invite Tian Ge to come out, EDG will be the X factor of this World Finals, and everything is possible.]

[Other teams please go to Brother Tian and automatically move up one level]

The replies below are different.

Some people think that Gen.G, which changed its name from SSG, is not weaker than KT.

Some people brought up IG's performance in the S5 season, believing that being strong in the region does not mean being strong in the world championship, and that the reckless and chaotic fighting style of play would be completely defeated by the Korean team's operations.

Some people think that Fnatic can move up a notch.

There is more discussion about whether Ye Tian will "level" for the World Championship again, and whether he will be in EDG.

[Tian Ge is definitely in EDG. His contract has been exposed before. He can’t go to any other team except EDG]

[You can’t go to other LPL teams, but you can go to other regions, okay?]

[Fuck, if Tian Ge went to KT, wouldn't KT be invincible? ]

[Impossible, LCK never looks for foreign players]

[That was because LCK players were strong in the past. Now, who in LCK can compare with Tian Ge? Khan and CuVee were beaten badly by Tian Ge. Can Smeb do it? ]

[It’s true. If Smeb could be replaced by Tian Ge, KT would wake up laughing in their dreams.]

[Tian Ge stopped live streaming after EDG advanced to S8. If he had gone to KT, he would have stopped live streaming long ago. It is very likely that he went to EDG]

[Yes, Brother Tian has just been promoted by CCTV, how can he play for the Koreans?]

[Wait for a hand to beat up the bathing dog]

[Brutal beating? EDG is so bad, it’s useless for Tian to go to EDG]

[Have you forgotten how you were chased to third place last year? ]

[You still know it was last year? Are you taking last year's results as this year's strength? I'm putting this out there, even if Tian goes to EDG, he can't beat Xiao Gou]

[That’s right, last year Rendi hadn’t evolved yet, this year Rendi isn’t even afraid of The Shy, Tian can only suppress him at best]

"Yo!"

"These people look down on you."

Meiko leaned forward and said, "Come to think of it, what do you think of Letme's skill? Can he beat him?"

"Letme? I don't know." Ye Tian smiled and shook his head: "I have never paid attention to him." (End of this chapter)
