Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

When the EDG members gathered together to celebrate, the official had already pushed out a series of championship activities.

In addition to the routine experience bonus, icon chest, skin chest, Hextech and half-price mall, a client mini-game with EDG players' game data is also specially set up.

——Choose a designated player, and after passing the question, you can randomly get a hero skin used by the player in this World Championship, which is considered an extra gift.

On the client homepage, the silhouettes of the seven EDG players are also quite interesting.

Ye Tian alone took up nearly half of the screen, and the other six people were smaller than each other. Ray's highly beautified face was so small that it was hard to tell who he was after it was shrunk.

even so.

EDG fans also think that Ray made a lot of money.

Think about it, Mouse fought hard for several years last year, switching from a support role to a top laner, and only got a chance to play after Koro1 had problems. Even though he was criticized a bit for lagging behind in the World Championship, everyone recognized his "hard work".

Although Ray is also a product of EDG's youth training and played in the entire regular season of 2018 with the team, before that, EDG had already asked Ye Tian to train for a champion. No matter from which angle you look at it, Ray, a player who went to North America and couldn't play and came back through the back door of the factory manager, has picked up a ready-made bargain.

In addition to discussing the performance on the field, there is also a piece of gossip.

——It is said that the factory manager will incorporate 4396 elements into the blind monk's skin.

The news spread quickly.

But no one believed it.

Everyone just watches it for fun.

Although Clearlove is very good at making fun of himself and always wants to prove who is the world's number one jungler, he never went again after studying his opponents at MSI and finding that he couldn't beat them. The damage of 4396 also gives people a feeling that it gets higher and higher, but what this number really represents is Clearlove's dark history of sleepwalking throughout the whole process and even missing Lee Sin's RQ twice in a row.

what?
It was only empty once, and the other time was because there was not enough energy?

They're all professional players. Is there a big difference between missing a little bit of energy and wasting skills?
[To be honest, if Seven really makes a 4396 blind monk, I will buy one even if I don’t play games]

[Champion skins are available every year, only one for 4396, you must buy it]

[It doesn't exist. How can the champion skin be messed up?]

[Let's wait and see the quality when it comes out. If the quality is good, I'll buy a set. If the quality is not good, I'll just buy the skin selected by Tiange]

[The quality of this year's champion skin cannot be better than last year's. Last year was LPL's first championship, and this year is the second. Only Tian Ge's two consecutive FMVPs are here, which allows the designer to make a good one.]

What no one expected was that the factory manager actually raised this request when communicating with the designer.

The designer, who was worried about how to create a highlight, readily accepted the suggestion. After discussing a series of details with the factory manager, he came up with a very brilliant idea.

The one Ye Tian decided on was Daomei.

Last year it was Shen, this year it was Irelia, and if there is a chance in the future, we can add Fiora and Riven, then we will have all four sisters in the top lane. As for the little roast chicken that should be released later... we'll talk about it later!
Karsa’s favorite is Lee Sin, but he couldn’t choose it, so he chose Taliyah based on personal preference and sales.

Scout scored twice and asked for a Dark Sovereign Syndra.

Iboy has Xayah’s championship skin and chose Tristana this year.

Meiko previously got the favorite Lulu, and this year he asked for a Thresh skin, which further demonstrated that the surname M is the orthodoxy of the support in LPL.

Ray only has Gnar, no second option.

Fortunately, when he appeared on the stage, Ray thought about following Ye Tian to get a championship skin. Although Gnar is a little inferior to the most popular top lane heroes, he is also a mainstream hero. As long as the quality is not too bad, he can always sell some.

Before leaving South Korea, Ye Tian was encouraged by Ray to try some of the so-called special foods.

You can try the kimchi.

Although the taste is similar to that in China and there is nothing special about it, at least it is edible.

Bibimbap and soybean paste soup are also okay.

The army pot is definitely not acceptable.

Thinking of the most primitive production process, Ye Tian declined. No matter how resentful Ray's eyes were, Ye Tian would never touch this kind of food that was once taken out of the swill and might still have the descendants of American soldiers attached to it.

Two days later.

The EDG team returned from Incheon International Airport.

A series of rewards for the world champion were also implemented.

Since 2016, Riot Games has launched champion skins and champion guards before the World Championship, and included 25% of the revenue in the global finals prize pool.

S6 is the hidden champion - Jie.

S7 is the champion arrow - Ashe.

S8 is the champion predator - Kha'Zix.

In terms of quality, the best of these three skins is definitely Zed. Although the feel is relatively average and even criticized by many high-ranking players with special skills, these high-ranking players with special skills are only a very small part compared to entertainment players.

For recreational players who focus on matching and brawl, it won’t have much of an impact as long as the feel isn’t so bad that it can’t be used, as long as the skin looks good!
Kha'Zix's skin is relatively average, especially with the previous three skins of Tyrannosaurus, Dark Star, and Death Blossom. If it was the same single color as in previous years, it would not be easy to have high sales. Fortunately, the designer is very aware of this. In addition to the original skin, he also released a series of colorful skins based on the major teams.

This way, the situation is completely different.

Especially when Ye Tian entered the arena, it boosted the sales of EDG's colorful Kha'Zix skin. The Chinese server is also the one with the strongest consumption capacity. According to statistics, the prize money for this year's world championship is as high as 613 million US dollars.

Based on the 37.5% exclusive to the champion, EDG can get 229.875 million US dollars, which is 1602 million RMB based on the real-time exchange rate.

The starting five will split 80% equally, which is million.

This is not over yet.

There will be another 25% share for subsequent champion skins.

Even though the second championship is not of sufficient commemorative significance and sales will not be higher than the first, but with Ye Tian's two consecutive FMVPs and the factory manager's 4396 activities, the revenue must be very considerable.

Last year, Ed Zhu gave each EDG champion member a house. This year, he gave them a bonus of 500,000 yuan and a Hycan car. He used the banner of rewarding the team members to advertise, which was a win-win situation.

of course.

For Ye Tian, ​​bonuses are just small fry.

Not to mention the signing fee given by the Dousha TV platform, even the income from gifts is far more than the bonus.

"I rely on!"

"Over 500,000 gifts in one night!" Zizi followed Ye Tian to arrange the show effects for the whole night. When he saw the statistics after the show was turned off, his eyes widened: "I have received over 500,000. Brother Tian, ​​you must have received at least 3 or 4 million in gifts, right?"

"Three or four million?" Ye Tian shook his head: "It's too small, the pattern is small."

"Then... five or six million?" Zizi raised the number a little.

"It's still too small." Ye Tian pointed at the screen and made an 'eight' shape with his right hand.

"Oh my god, eight million?!" He lost his balance and slid under the table. He finally climbed out and looked carefully at the number on Ye Tian's screen, and screamed again.

Ye Tian returned to Datian Manor and invited all EDG members and the hosts he had a good relationship with to have a party. The popularity and gifts reached unprecedented heights. In just five hours, the income reached more than 8 million.

After deducting the 45: split with the platform and % personal income tax, the total amount is still as much as million.

You have to know that there is no transaction flow made by the guild here, let alone any messy things. Every penny is clean and clean. At most... a little bit will be deducted for the refund for minors.

"Come on, I'm treating you."

Ye Tian waved his hand: "Let's go to the top of the Demon City for a midnight snack!"

Everyone in LPL is celebrating.

Across the ocean, Riot Games’ designers worked overtime to study Ye Tian’s game scenes, and everyone had a distressed expression on their faces.

For a competitive game, creating a god is certainly important, but only when the god is created successfully can this "god" lead the fan group to create economic value.

If there is not even a 'god', the professional arena will be full of nameless players fighting each other. No one will be willing to watch it even if the level of the game is set high, let alone attract brands to invest real money in it.

but.

This "God" cannot be exaggerated.

The previous true god Faker perfectly met the requirements of Riot Games and even the game League of Legends - he had both personal ability and absolute hard work and self-discipline, and his results in major competitions, performance, and private behavior were all impeccable.

The most important point is that Faker is not truly invincible. He can reach the top of the mountain and fall into the trough. From time to time, he allows star players from small regions to kill him once or twice. Overall, he is a god, but on the field, he is actually a mortal who can bleed and get hurt.

Ye Tian is different.

In terms of laning, Ye Tian is half a level higher than Faker in his peak state, and almost a level higher than the world's second-ranked top laner The shy. The only difference between his opponents is whether they collapse early or late, and there is not a single one who can truly avoid collapse.

In terms of team battles, Ye Tian is only stronger than Faker in his peak state. Due to the nature of the top hero, he can often create famous 1vN scenes.

Not to mention the support, Faker, as a mid laner, cannot radiate the entire field like Ye Tian in every game.

What's even more terrifying is that in addition to the players' abilities, through EDG's behind-the-scenes footage and on-field voice chats, it can be seen that Ye Tian has also reached the ceiling level in terms of version understanding and tactical formulation. When he is on the court, EDG is equivalent to having a top coach with a global perspective giving real-time commands, and it is difficult for the team's capabilities not to be improved.

According to the BOSS of a stand-alone game.

Everyone is very clear about Faker's mechanism and health bar. Maybe we can't resist him sometimes, but we are not completely helpless.

Ye Tian has played for so long without revealing his mechanics or even his health bar - the one for four in the third game of this year's finals was just a sacrifice to win in the fastest and most stable way. If he hadn't sought a quick victory, he wouldn't have died at all.

Was he beaten to a bloody mess?
Do not!
The BOSS took the initiative to use a skill that consumed health, and it was restored to full in the next second!
“I think the idea of ​​focusing on Tian’s hero nerfing is not feasible.”

Chief designer Greg Street (Ghostcrab) touched his forehead, which was two-thirds bald: "Tian uses relatively strong heroes. If these heroes are nerfed, other players will be weakened even more and it will be more difficult for them to resist the pressure from Tian. Even if all the top-lane heroes are nerfed, Tian can still play mid-lane - with his personal ability and understanding of the battle situation, he is fully capable of playing the mid-lane position."

"Make the rune attributes more flexible." Jeevun Sidhu from India had a brilliant idea: "Rune selection now has fixed attributes. If you want armor, you don't have it; if you want magic resistance, you don't have it. Offensive players like it, but defensive players don't like it. Adaptive force, armor, and magic resistance should be separate options, so that professional players can play to their strengths."

"Change Conqueror. Don't let it trigger after four seconds of entering combat. That's only suitable for strong players like Tian. Change it to a stacking system like War Fervor. It's fair for everyone to get about the same number of stacks in a fight."

"Akali's invisibility mechanism should be cancelled, at least Tian can't easily cross the tower."

"Yes, the setting of not being seen by the true eye can be retained. This mechanism of not being seen by the defense tower is completely provided for Tian. If this feature is cancelled, only Tian will be weakened."

"I suggest removing the damage reduction of Irelia's W."

"No, without the damage reduction of W, Irelia will become useless. Any hero can kill her in one blow."

"Then remove the magic damage reduction. Now that Irelia is in the middle lane, which mage can be chosen? You all saw the burst of using W to resist Syndra in the final."

The more they talked, the more chaotic it became, turning the meeting room into a vegetable market.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Stop!"

Ghostcrawler made a mute gesture. “For other things, you can email me. Now we are only discussing how to change Tian to limit his personal performance. At least we can’t let him win championships whenever he wants and play the world championship as a substitute… The substitute training behavior that we have expressly banned will not work for him.”

"Who would have thought that someone could become a substitute player for the World Championship?" someone muttered in a low voice.

"No matter what, we have to solve this problem. If we can't solve it for two consecutive years, it means we are all losers!" Ghostcrawler fiercely issued a military order: "One week, I must see a mature solution within one week. If Tian still treats me as a single player in the world competition next year, I will resign and you will not get your bonus."

...

It is said that people’s joys and sorrows are not shared.

All the Riot designers were frowning, fearing that Ye Tian would turn the World Championship into a personal performance again. On the LPL side, Jin Yibo, who was in charge of the national server, was overjoyed.

Two consecutive championships, how much?

Compared to the LCK region's four consecutive championships from S3 to S6, it's not much at all.

It is not enough to break the balance between the divisions.

What made Jin Yibo even happier was that with the RNG team capsized in the S8 finals and being sent back to their hometown by a mere G2, UZI, who failed to pick up the lantern again, had lost the qualification to compete with Ye Tian. He would have lost a lot of popularity, but the little IG, which had played a supporting role throughout the year, defeated KT and AFS and replaced UZI to become the uncrowned... little king.

Tencent’s plan for next year is to promote Ye Tian to the position of the Supreme God, and let IG and RNG, The shy and UZI compete in the ring, and the heat will definitely be even more explosive.

...

Outside of LPL.

The giants in the two major regions of EU and NA, and even some mid-to-upper-level teams in LCK, have all started to have different ideas.

In the past two years, EDG's basic strength has been mediocre. Apart from the top laner, they cannot even make it into the first tier among the teams participating in the World Championship.

Even so, Tian was still able to lead EDG to win two consecutive championships and maintained a terrifying 100% winning rate.

So……

Invite Tian to your side, and you may not have no chance of winning! (End of this chapter)
