At the same time, the All-Star voting has also been finalized.
There is no suspense in the LCK voting. All five players from SKT are ranked first!
Of course, some positions are controversial, such as the jungle position. Many people choose Ambition. Ambition was also ahead of Peanut by a lot at the beginning.
However, when the LCK audience knew that this might be the last time the five SKT players competed together on the same stage, they chose to vote for Peanut, hoping to bring together the five SKT players.
Just when everyone thought they could see SKT's last dance, an accident happened.
LCK officials stated that each team can only have a maximum of two players participating.
In this way, although all five SKT players voted first, three of them cannot go and need to be replaced by second place.
The two people who can go are the ones with the highest vote rate, Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk.
Chen Yiqiu’s vote rate in the top lane position was 98.5%.
This number can no longer be described as an exaggeration, it is simply crazy!
This is the highest vote share ever for an All-Star in any season.
Also, it is almost impossible to break.
Even Faker only received 88.6% of the votes in the mid lane position.
The gap between the two is not simply ten percentage points.
The jungle position was changed to second place Ambition.
The bottom lane is the bottom lane of Dragon Ball Team, Pray and GorillA.
Chen Yiqiu is also paying attention to the situation on the LPL side. The five people sent by the LPL are:
Top laner 957, jungler Mlxg, mid laner Xiye, ADCUZI, assistant Meiko, and jungler Brother Firefox.
In addition, there are LEC division, top laner sOAZ, jungler Jankos, mid laner PowerOfEvil, ADCRekkles, and assistant IgNar.
LCS division, top laner Hauntzer, jungler Mikeyeung, mid laner Bilson, ADCsNEAKY, assistant aphromoo.
Many of them are familiar faces. They have interacted with each other before and even exchanged contact information. We can chat occasionally.
The time has come to early December, and the All-Star Game has begun.
This time it is held in the United States.
Everyone from the LCK All-Star Team got on a plane and came to the United States two days in advance and checked into an e-sports hotel.
Professional players from other competition regions all stay in this hotel.
The LPL is also about to go on an expedition.
However, this year’s All-Star Game team is extremely large!
Not only the five players and coaches, but also the team’s manager and owner!
Originally, including various logistics, a dozen people would be enough.
Because this is not a very formal game, it is considered an entertainment game, and analysts and assistant coaches do not need to go.
But this time there are more than 20 people in the LPL All-Star Game team!
At the same time, there are already various discussions on the Internet about this All-Star Game:
[I will go. I heard that many team managers and even bosses went to this All-Star Game. , just want to invite Reaper back. 】
【Faker is also the target of LPL now. It seems that someone wants to bring these two people back. 】
【Is it so big to play? If you pack them back, wouldn't they be invincible? No matter which team you go to, you are invincible. 】
[Real or false? If this is true, then I can forgive them for their previous defeat in the S game. 】
【I heard that this time Taobo entered the LPL with hundreds of millions of funds and wanted to play a big game. 】
【This is really a big deal. Those rich second generations before felt like they were all bragging. 】
【No, I heard there are masters! Principal Wang is also going, and it is a direct charter flight. He is not going with the LPL All-Star Team, but he is going. 】
For a time, all kinds of rumors about LPL were flying all over the sky, and it felt like the entire LPL was mobilized.
Two days passed and the All-Star Game began.
The five players of the LCK All-Star Team and coach H-Dragon came to the game together.
In the lounge, everyone is making final preparations before going on the field.
The five people came from three different teams, so the atmosphere was not as lively as usual. The other three people were silently observing Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk.
After all, the two of them are the absolute core, whether it is status or technology.
As a coach, H-Dragon said: "This time the All-Star Game is divided into two parts, one is a competition between divisions, and the other is a SOLO match."
"Each division must select Two players participate in the SOLO competition, or The five of you can discuss among yourselves and see who is more suitable to play in the SOLO game. "
This coach is also difficult to resist. He is not Kkoma. He faces four-time champion mid laner Lee Sang Hyuk and has double FMVP, the first in history. Top laner Chen Yiqiu is under tremendous pressure.
If you directly ask these two people to go to SOLO by name, how will you explain it to the other three people?
The other three are also popular players, from strong teams, and are core players.
If you are not a core teammate, it is impossible to participate in the All-Star Game.
So she could only adopt this method that would not offend anyone and let the five people decide for themselves.
However, after he finished speaking, no one took any action, and no one was the first to stand up and speak.
Seeing this situation, Chen Yiqiu stood up: "Since the coach said so, come over and let's discuss it."
Then the other three people came over, and the five of them gathered together.
"Is there anyone who wants to quit directly? Who doesn't want to be solo?" Chen Yiqiu asked.
As a support, GorillA directly chose to quit: "I won't play, and I can't solo as a support."
There were only four people left. Chen Yiqiu looked at Li Sang Hyuk: "You must come. "
Li Sang Hyuk nodded: "I will try my best, of course, everyone will compete fairly."
Hearing this, Pray and Ambition suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Everyone knows Lee Sang Hyuk's personal abilities.
Lee Sang Hyuk said that competition must be fair, how can there be little pressure.
So, Ambition chose to quit: "I am a jungler and I am not very good at soloing. Come on."
This leaves only three people.
Pray seems to still have an idea. This kind of opportunity is rare.
Although there is an All-Star Game every year, it would be nice to participate in it once in your career.
This is even more difficult to enter than the S game.
After all, there are three teams in one division in the S competition, and there can be three players in the same position.
There is only one spot per position in the All-Star Game.
Chen Yiqiu looked at the computer next to him and said: "We will use the fairest method. Three people will play a round-robin match. Each win will be counted as points. In the end, we will see who has higher points."
Pray was stunned after hearing this: "Huh? I thought you wanted rock-paper-scissors."
Chen Yiqiu shook his head: "Rock-paper-scissors is completely random. Of course we have to select the person with the strongest SOLO ability. , What do you say, Lee Sang Hyuk? "
Lee Sang Hyuk smiled: "I agree with you. "At this time, Lee Sang Hyuk seemed very excited, what was he looking forward to!
So, the eyes of Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk met, the corners of their mouths raised, and the surrounding air became anxious.
Pray felt the pressure suddenly increase. The auras of the two people in front of him were too strong. The two auras collided, and he, the third party, couldn't bear it at first.
“Forget it, forget it, I’m convinced, you go ahead.” Pray softened. Just thinking about playing 1V1 with Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk in a cycle made him feel breathless. This SOLO match is not a special one. Can't be beaten.
Coach H-Dragon said: "In that case, I'm going to register for the registration quota."
As soon as H-Dragon left, someone came to the door and knocked on the door: "Dong dong "Hey, everyone in the LCK, excuse me."
When Chen Yiqiu heard this, he felt that the voice was quite familiar.
So he turned his head and looked, good guy, Principal Wang!
Principal Wang was standing at the door at this time, staring at him.
"Chen Yiqiu, can we have a chat?" Principal Wang greeted.
"He came to see me." Chen Yiqiu explained to the others in LCK, then walked to the door and followed Principal Wang out.
The two stood in the corridor and chatted.
Principal Wang was the first to speak: "I heard that you are planning to leave SKT? Come to our IG. We can discuss how much salary you need."
Principal Wang is very decisive in getting straight to the point, without any other pretense, and hits the point directly when he opens his mouth.
Chen Yiqiu responded: "It's too early to talk about this. Now LPL..."
Principal Wang interrupted Chen Yiqiu: "The transformation of LPL is on the way. This time our major clubs and If we work together with Fujii, the transformation will definitely be completed in the end, you don’t need to worry about this.”
Hearing this, Chen Yiqiu understood. He has been paying attention to LPL matters during this time, and there has been a lot of chaos on the domestic Internet. .
For example, the ranked actors collectively jumped out to cause trouble, seemingly wanting to confront Fujii and make the game environment more chaotic, so that Fujii would make concessions in this regard.
There are also trolls who are setting the pace online, saying that Fujii's involvement in such things is just an internal power struggle and is not actually intended to purify the gaming environment.
Taking direct aim at ponytails, these people are very courageous. After all, this affects the people they eat, and the backlash cannot be fierce.
But it was useless. Fujii's advancement was very decisive and it was difficult for anyone to do it.
At that time, Chen Yiqiu felt that there was a strong energy pushing behind him. Now it seems that it is not only Fujii who is working, but also the bosses of these clubs, such as Principal Wang.
If they join forces, they can indeed solve those problems.
Thinking of this, Chen Yiqiu responded: "I still need to think about it, let's see, the transfer period hasn't come yet anyway."
Principal Wang nodded: "Well, if you have You can tell me what the conditions are in advance, and there is no need to worry about the salary. The salary I can give you is much higher than what you are in SKT.”
Principal Wang is indeed different from others. He is very straightforward in everything he says. .
At this moment, a voice sounded: "Reape player! Reaper player!"
Chen Yiqiu followed the sound and found out that it was a "nanny"!
To be precise, it’s a COS nanny’s... man!
Yes, he is a man. It is not easy to tell from his appearance alone, but his voice is obviously that of a man.
Principal Wang looked over. Principal Wang, who has read countless things in his life, took half a step back!
Chen Yiqiu suspected that Principal Wang had never backed away from a "woman" except when facing his mother.
This is the first time.
Of course, the other party is not actually a woman.
Chen Yiqiu recognized it, C9’s ADC, the cross-dressing boss, Sneaky.
This man is famous for wearing women's clothes.
This time I came to participate in the All-Star Games, and it seemed that I planned to wear women's COS clothing to play in the game. I can only say that although I didn't get results, others would take care of themselves.
"Hello..." Chen Yiqiu greeted.
Sneaky came up, gave Chen Yiqiu a wink, and said: "Has the Reaper player considered joining our C9? I heard from our boss that you are considering it, or just make a decision."< br>
"I can cosplay different characters every day to show you which one you like."
"Uh..." Chen Yiqiu was embarrassed on the spot.
Although he does not reject the cross-dressing men, he does not like or be interested in them.
"Principal Wang, what did you just say?" Chen Yiqiu chose to change the subject, hoping to get Principal Wang to intervene.
"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave." What he never expected was that Principal Wang, who had always been strong in his life, just walked away.
In this way, Chen Yiqiu can only face such a "beautiful thing" alone.
"I'm still thinking about it. If there is a result, I will tell you as soon as possible. I have the contact information of your manager." Chen Yiqiu tried to communicate with Sneaky.
Sneaky smiled charmingly: "Okay, I will wait for you, you must come."
Still, Sneaky didn't bother and left directly. Chen Yiqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just after I sent Sneaky away, another guest came, Guo Hao.
Guo Hao strode over and greeted with a smile: "Reaper player, what a coincidence, how are you doing lately."
Compared with Principal Wang, Guo Hao is not so direct.
“We in the LPL are improving step by step on the issues you raised before, and a military order has been issued, and the rectification must be completed before the transfer period.”
"If Reaper players have time, you can go back and take a look. The situation now is completely different from before."
Chen Yiqiu nodded: "Well, I have been following up on this issue. I know the specific situation, although Not completely finished yet The rectification is very effective, but the effect is very significant."
Guo Hao rubbed his hands and smiled: "Then can we consider discussing the next step of cooperation?"
Just after saying this, Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Lee Sang Hyuk walked out.
As soon as he saw Lee Sang Hyuk, Guo Hao's eyes lit up and he quickly greeted: "Hello, player Faker."
Guo Hao specifically switched to English for communication.
Li Sang Hyuk responded: "Hello, hello."
"I am the manager of Taobo E-sports Club, Guo Hao." Guo Hao introduced himself.
"Yeah." Li Sang Hyuk nodded. He was actually very confused and had never heard of this Taobo e-sports club.
Guo Hao explained: "We have just been established. Few people know about it. We are preparing for the new season and recruiting new players."
Li Sang Hyuk understood, no wonder he wanted to find Chen Yiqiu.
Guo Hao extended an olive branch: "Player Faker, I heard that you are also planning to leave SKT. At least you are not exclusive of this option? It just so happens that our team's championship puzzle still lacks a strong mid laner."
"There is no need to worry about salary at all. We have sufficient funds and have checked all current LPL teams."
Lee Sang Hyuk did not answer directly and glanced at Chen Yiqiu subconsciously.
This smiling movement was observed by Guo Hao.
As a veteran, observing words and emotions is a basic skill.
He knew at a glance that Li Sang Hyuk definitely wanted to be on the same team as Chen Yi Qiu.
At least he is more inclined to this result, so he said:
"We are also the first to contact Reaper players in the LPL region and have made the fastest progress. Although the talks have not yet been concluded, I think The Reaper players are not exclusive about us."
Seeing that Chen Yiqiu did not deny it, Lee Sang Hyuk said, "Besides us, who are the other players you plan to recruit?"
Guo Hao responded: "These haven't been decided yet. Our idea is to first find the cornerstone of the team, which is the absolute core players. If you two don't mind, once confirmed, we can build a team around you." (End of Chapter)
