The two clubs issued five announcements in a row and even tagged each other, which instantly attracted a lot of attention to the Li-Ning team, which originally had a small number of fans.

However, everyone's main focus was on the EDG announcement below, especially when they saw the players who had disconnected from EDG, which made everyone tremble with fear.

【Holy crap, what happened?】

[I woke up to find my beloved EDG team disbanding?]

[The mid, top, and AD are all gone, what about the carry? What about my carry build?]

【Okay, okay, fine, EDGnmml.】

[Making so much money on endorsements but not retaining the players, what a trash team!]

[edg - Talent Introduction Base.]

[Unfollow immediately if you don't renew your contract!]

The championship-winning roster consisted of seven people, including the coach. Four of them left at once, and the core player didn't even renew his contract. The only ones who are certain to stay on the team are 4396 and the support player. The fans' mood can be described as extremely low.

Although the three newcomers aren't bad either, all of them combined aren't as important to the fans as Li Chen alone.

All they want to see right now is Li Chen's contract renewal announcement; they don't want to hear anything else!

Just as many fans were fiercely protesting in the comments section, EDG released another announcement at 9:00 AM:

[EDG League of Legends Division Roster Changes Announcement]

After thorough and friendly communication with the player, we hereby announce that EDG-gdo丶C, the former top laner of EDG's League of Legends division, has officially disconnected from the game starting today!

This extremely simple announcement completely ignited the atmosphere in the comments section, and all the fans were in an uproar.

[Damn, I'll just sit back and watch you become a district!]

[This is a classic case of discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose; I've seen it all!]

[Winning the championship means breaking up the group, unfollow, unfollow!]

[Hilarious! Anyone who's a fan of that trash EDG team is an idiot!]

[@Principal Wang, hurry up and sign C! I'll become a huge fan of yours!]

【￥%…… ￥……%￥……%】

How did this team win the championship?

If the comments section was somewhat obscene before, it's now downright insane.

The entire comment section turned into a cesspool. Li Chen's fans quickly distanced themselves from EDG, and the number of followers plummeted instantly, dropping below eight figures in less than ten minutes, and the rate of decline continued to accelerate.

However, after the news quickly became a trending topic on various platforms, it brought EDG a huge wave of traffic and exposure.

This also made the capital behind each team realize Li Chen's influence in the league, so they decisively began to increase their investment.

At this moment, in the EDG training room, Li Chen's phone was ringing non-stop. All the teams, regardless of whether they had a top laner or not, were calling to inquire about his interest, and the price was negotiable.

Even more outrageous, Dafei sent a WeChat message asking Li Chen which team he was planning to join and whether he had any ideas about developing in the LCK.

However, the most excited team among these teams was G2. They were really anxious when they learned that Li Chen had not found a new team yet. Not only Li Chen, but also Edward Zhu, Abu and even the EDG players received calls from G2.

"G2 must be crazy, they're calling me all the time." Meiko hung up the phone, speechless.

Abu shook his head and said, "Achen, it's time to issue an announcement. In the past half hour, our EDG management team, centered on myself and extending to my entire family, has been subjected to a barrage of insults from fans, and our fan base is plummeting."

"These are all minor things. That's how you play the traffic-generating game. Give fans a rollercoaster experience, otherwise how will they know to cherish it?"

Li Chen smiled slightly, glanced at his phone, and said, "The new announcement will be released at 9:34:06. Let's time it accordingly!"

The factory manager turned his head and glanced at it, then decisively got up and walked outside.

Seeing this, Abu asked, "Mingkai, where are you going? There's a practice match later!"

"I'm going to get the new spiked club!"

Li Chen: ......
