Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

The LPL region, or more precisely the League of Legends circle, has been flooded with discussions and rumors since EDG lost its place in the playoffs and was confirmed to miss S9.

The core of everything is certainly not EDG.

But it’s Ye Tian, ​​the all-knowing representative.

First of all, there are invitations to FPX, TES, and IG, the three strongest teams with the greatest hope of entering the World Championship.

Then G2 intervened.

Next, the ancient powerhouse FNC, North American TL and even the bottom-ranked thief team 100 Thieves all extended olive branches to Ye Tian.

Following the move by 100 Thieves, a club that didn't know its own limitations, other clubs with average performance but lots of money also got involved. No matter whether they were sincere or not, they just wanted to join in the fun.

——It would be a waste not to take advantage of the existing popularity, right?

The headlines on the hot search list are getting more and more outrageous. At the beginning, it was an LPL team that offered Ye Tian 3500-5000 million to join the team. Soon, it became 100 Thieves, backed by the Cleveland Cavaliers, shouting for tens of millions of US dollars. What's even more exaggerated is G2, which doubled up on 100 Thieves by using a picture of Landlords, and broadcast a picture on Twitter and Weibo, the two major official media, that offered Ye Tian million US dollars to join.

In addition to the offer that did not treat money as money, Ye Tian’s position was also the focus of public opinion.

After EDG was eliminated, Ye Tian, ​​who was usually a model worker, turned on the pigeon spirit mode. He left behind the huge salary and gift income and ran away to somewhere unknown. Occasionally, there were news reports that Ye Tian was buying soap on the streets of Berlin.

[Brother Tian bought soap? Annie brand?]

【Hahahahahahaha】

[The soap produced by the cooperation between Jews and Germans is so easy to use and has a high cost-effectiveness. I hope they can continue to produce it and expand the production.]

[Berlin is where the G2 club is, right? Is Tian Ge going to G2? ]

[G2 can offer million dollars, which is really no problem. There are not many people in the NBA who can get million dollars, and that is an annual salary. Tian Ge only plays in the World Championship and his salary is monthly.]

[It's just a hoax, it's impossible to give so much, 1.4 million dollars is equivalent to million, how much is an S crown worth? ]

[Indeed, the principal paid 50 million to buy honor at a loss. TES's 40 million is a normal price. EDG made basically no money from the first two championships, and even less from the third.]

[100T's offer of 2 million USD is barely believable, but what can G use to offer million USD?]

Besides.

There are also crazy water armies that lead the rhythm.

Ever since Ye Tian showed signs of going to other regions, the internet trolls switched from disrupting the cooperation between Ye Tian and FPX to attacking Ye Tian, ​​claiming that everything Ye Tian had achieved was due to the support of the LPL region, that he had received many privileges from the LPL, and that going to other regions to play games was a betrayal of the LPL.

Very cerebral palsy.

But the proportion of people following the trend is not small.

After all, for some extreme fans, as long as they can attack the target, whether the reason is tenable or not is a trivial matter.

When it makes sense, explain it first and then start criticizing. When it doesn't make sense, just start criticizing. In the end it's all for those few seconds of satisfaction, so it makes no difference whether you follow the process or not.

"Twenty million?"

"Bullshit!"

UZI looked at the message forwarded by his teammates during the live broadcast and sneered: "Whether it is LPL or LCK, the strong teams capable of competing for the world championship only have a salary of more than 1.4 million. He wants million to play in the world game?"

"That's right." Xiaohu echoed with a smile: "More than 100 million can buy a club quota. He can get so much money by playing in the World Championship. Why don't you buy him a club and let him be the boss?"

"I know Ye Tian won't go, so I just bid a random price." Mala Xiang Guo used his stock god-level brain to do the math: "1.4 million will definitely be no problem to buy out the live broadcast and commercial endorsements. We will only play in the world championship once, and we will lose money even if we win. If we don't win, we will be a pure sucker."

"Faker's 40 million in three years has been clarified, and he makes 20 million a month? Impossible." Xiao Ming and UZI highly agree.

"It's okay for Gou Ye to get 100 million, but forget about it for others." Letme boasted.

Two years ago, UZI did not have much weight. RNG bought UZI just to legitimately inherit the two world runner-up titles of the old Royal Club that year, and to use this to hype the name of the all-Chinese team and the best record in the S game.

Two years later, things were different.

With the update of the version, Ornn's strength has decreased, and the defensive tower has added a plating mechanism. The "equality of all beings" that Letme is proud of is no longer there. Even if he can achieve immortality or even not lose a last hit during the laning period, consuming two layers of the defensive tower plating is equivalent to losing a kill. This will cause Letme to become the team's shortcoming when facing The shy, Zoom and other offensive top laners.

RNG was forced to buy Langxing during the summer transfer period to rotate with Letme.

However, Langxing, the former star of the team, is no longer as brave as he used to be. He turns into a comedian from time to time, causing RNG to fall into a vicious circle where they will be at a stable disadvantage when Letme is on the field, but they have to roll the dice when Langxing is on the field.

Xiaohu has changed from the former Spring Tiger Emperor and Tiger General to a pure loser. In the summer season matchup, the new generation mid laner Left Hand chose Qiyana. He used all his skills on Xiaohu but only reduced half of his health. After taking a closer look, he found that Xiaohu was wearing cloth shoes + hourglass + red crystal. He pinged Xiaohu crazily and his Taoism almost collapsed.

Mala Xiangguo is really daring and aggressive.

The problem is that the top lane is always at a disadvantage, the mid laner is always in a mess, so no matter how hard the jungler fights, it's meaningless.

It is no exaggeration to say that RNG was able to achieve a 12-3 record in the summer season and defeated TES, which had a higher ranking in the regular season, with a 3-1 lead in the semifinals. UZI contributed more than 25% to this - he had a terrifying KDA of 1-17- in four games, which made people suspect that there was a peak Bang squatting under the table.

"I'm not worth 100 million."

UZI shook his head: "Transfer fees are transfer fees, and wages are wages. There is no player who can earn 1.4 million now, and million is even less likely. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."

9 month 6 day.

The LPL Summer Finals begins.

Ming Shiyin was completely defeated by Liu Qingsong.

Spicy hotpot has no advantage over Kailangtian.

Letme and Langxing took turns to face the old GimGoon. They were not at a disadvantage during the laning phase, but once they entered a team fight, the two of them together were far inferior to GimGoon.

This forced UZI to take out Quinn and gank the top lane endlessly, turning the ADC into a GANK hero.

But even so, it could not make up for the huge gap in strength between the two teams. With the RNG base shattered, the total score was fixed at 3-1, and the national server client displayed the title "Phoenix Sings in the Sky, New King Crowned".

The little Phoenix FPX won the well-deserved regional championship and advanced to the world championship as the number one seed.

RNG defeated TES and obtained a ticket to the LPL Summer Finals, thus securing a place in the World Championship in advance - 10 points in spring + 100 points in summer is 110 points. TES's third place is only the same as RNG. Based on the win-loss record, RNG advanced.

9 month 8 day.

IG, which defeated JDG, plays against TES.

After five fierce battles, IG won with a slight advantage of 3-2 and got the last ticket to the World Championship.

Since then.

The three seeded teams of LPL have all been announced.

They are FPX, the Phoenix that performed well throughout the year, RNG, which played at the extreme with four protecting one UZI, and IG, which regained its S8 style.

[Damn, this year's promotional video is so cool]

[Cut through the authority of the past, the vanity in front of you, and burn a new phoenix in the flames; go through glory and lows, return to your heart, carry the glory of the people of the past, and move towards a new life; forget everything in the past, carry the burden of climbing over the mountains, and the white knight continues to move forward, it is really a classic]

[Whether it is glory or loss, new challenges are coming! Three teams are going! 】

[The best expedition short film ever] [Kill the Phoenix Emperor! ]

[This promotional video is really well shot, very artistic and meaningful. Whether it is FPX's Phoenix, RNG facing the ridicule of the crowd under the mask, or IG's need to climb to the top again, the design is very good. The official is very attentive.]

[Tian Ge was not present at the departure ceremony. Did Tian Ge not participate in this year's World Championship? ]

[Not necessarily. Tian Ge didn’t make it to the departure ceremony last year. He played for EDG in the second group match. This year, he might be hiding in the backstage of some team.]

[Please exclude one team first and give an example to explain why it is RNG]

As the departure ceremony of "Endless Rebirth, Continued Challenge" was broadcast, while players were discussing the strength of the teams, they inevitably mentioned a more heart-touching topic - where is Brother Tian?

The outside world is full of various speculations.

The LPL professional circle was also confused about Ye Tian’s whereabouts.

The three teams that got the quota for the World Championship had no need to hide their members. After communicating with each other, they found that none of the teams had invited Ye Tian. At the principal's signal, Su Xiaoluo asked the TES manager, but was scolded as soon as he opened his mouth.

Inside Tengjing Company.

The person in charge, Jin Yibo, tapped the backup contract on the table, with countless distracting thoughts running through his mind.

There are still one month and three days left before the start of the S9 group stage. Before that, if the EDG club and Ye Tian have not negotiated the termination of the contract, Ye Tian will most likely appear on the roster of other teams in other regions.

If Ye Tian really went to other regions, what would Teng do...

...

9 month 9 day.

The European Summer Finals was between Fnatic and G2.

The S1 champion FNC represents the last glory of the traditional powerhouses, while G2 represents the galaxy battleship of the emerging teams.

During the winter transfer period, Caps jumped from FNC to G2 and made a series of remarks attacking FNC. This led to not only a competition between the new and old forces, but also a certain amount of fan hatred.

In terms of lineup.

FNC has the top laner Bibab, the top jungler Broxah, the region's top AD player Ou Cheng, the well-known support Hylissang, and the new mid laner Nemesis, who is named after the goddess of vengeance.

G2's top laner is Wunde, who briefly held the No. spot between Sister-in-law and Bibab, jungler Jankos, mid laner Capas, the king of caps, and talented support Mikyx. The AD position is rotated between the original mid laner A-P and the A-walking monster.

The two sides played very tensely, fighting back and forth point by point until the score was tied at 2-2. The last game even saw a series of reversals with G2's lead being caught up by FNC, and FNC's advantage being won by G2. The European audiences were very excited and thought that both teams deserved the honor of European champions.

pity.

There can only be one winner.

When G2 took down Baron Nashor, FNC had no power to resist and their base was flattened by G2 in one wave.

Since then, G2 has won four championships, including the Spring Season, MSI, Intercontinental Championship, and Summer Season. It is the team with the most brilliant record in Europe and even the world, and its status is infinitely close to last year's RNG.

Is this the point?
of course not.

The key point is that after the G2 team won the European Championship, they immediately released a poster for the expedition. There were two Asian faces in the poster. In addition to the familiar A-walking monster, there was also a half-body silhouette placed above everyone - G2丶Tian!

[Wardfa, the gods have come to Europe? ]

[I can’t wait to see G2 compete in the S-League and complete their golden journey]

[G2 and Tian merge, the whole world begins to tremble! ]

[The cards are stacked high, G2 is definitely the favorite to win this year]

[Tian + Caps are a super double C. They can almost beat everything in the laning phase. It is really hard to imagine any team can compete with them.]

[A-walking monster is one of the three talented ADs of the new generation in LPL. He can be seen as a small UZI. Although he was not optimistic before, through the comparison of the finals, his strength is comparable to that of Uzi. He is also a stable carry point. This year, G2 may win the Grand Slam.]

【EU is greater than NA! 】

【What's the point of mentioning NA? Are they worthy? 】

The European audience was very enthusiastic.

Different regions have completely different attitudes towards the S champion.

The LCK, which has won for four years from S3 to S6, focuses on performance on the field and does not care much about the honor. The fact that some players who won the world championship are far behind the players without a championship in the All-Star voting clearly shows the LCK's perception.

LPL recognizes both honor and strength, and values ​​the former more but will not completely deny the latter. Most people believe that the champion must be better than the uncrowned player, but that does not mean that every champion is better than the uncrowned player.

Rape and swallow it.

It means that the status is higher than that of the champion player.

When comparing strength, we need to look at it from another perspective.

The views of the European and North American regions are closer to those of the LCK, especially after Bang went to North America to play reverse carry. European and American audiences deprived Bang of the title of "World's No. 1 AD" and believed that Bang was a clown who did not deserve the title.

but.

These are not important.

No matter from which perspective, Ye Tian’s ability is indisputable.

This year's G2 and Ye Tian combined are undoubtedly the strongest team in European history, without a doubt.

On the other hand, the LPL audience who had been discussing it for a month were completely furious.

No matter how many rumors there are, the general perception is that Ye Tian will join FPX in order to win three consecutive championships, and the second is that he will go to IG for the 50 million yuan training fee. Few people really think that Ye Tian will run to other regions.

betray?

Not to mention.

Neither GSL nor the internet troll company behind it, called Duohuan, can become a mainstream trend.

Anyone who has watched the game knows that Ye Tian has not made any contribution to LPL, but has done a favor. If Ye Tian had not led EDG to a comeback and win the championship, LPL's traffic, popularity and sponsorship would have dropped significantly.

Therefore, even RNG fans who are unhappy with Ye Tian cannot use this reason to attack him.

Not to mention that G2 offered a price that was impossible to refuse.

Twenty million dollars?

NO.

The $20 million is a rumor.

The headquarters of the G2 Club is in Berlin, Germany, one of the member states of the European Union. A certain percentage of tax will be deducted when using US dollars, so the unit given by the G2 Club is the euro.

Compared to the US dollar's exchange rate of 7.0879, the euro's exchange rate is 7.8661, and the employment period is only one month. This contract is enough to rank among the superstars in the traditional sports world! (End of this chapter)
