"I need an explanation!"
Edju was furious in the office: "Last week you swore to tell me that you only need to win two of the remaining three games to enter the playoffs, and the remaining three teams have no pressure and can win 100%. Next, what now? We haven’t played in two weeks and we’re out?”
In front of Ed Zhu.
Abu and Maokai, the two unlucky children, had embarrassment on their faces.
Logically speaking, the probability of EDG missing the playoffs is so small that it can be ignored.
Unexpectedly, due to various problems such as status and luck, EDG first overturned to VG, which was ranked at the bottom. Its main competitor LNG also overturned RNG, which was ranked second only to Little Phoenix FPX. Under the influence of one and the other, EDG Gone in the ninth week of the regular season!
"It's all my fault."
Maokai took over the responsibility: "I feel that VG is easier to play. I want to train troops in advance, but the selected lineup does not conform to the trend of the version."
Version 9.14 has undergone large-scale hero modifications.
Different from just adjusting attributes before, this modification also involves many mechanisms. For example, Robot R and Crocodile Red Fury W can destroy shields, Sword Demon R removes resurrection, Akali [Xia Formation] extension mechanism is modified, and E obtains the spell. Forcing bonuses, Galio cannot dodge W, Pike E cannot cause damage to minions, etc. The extent of the update is second only to the all-round rework of the season change.
Currently, the game is still running on 9.13, and the next update will be 9.14.
Maokai felt that he was sure to win against VG, so he asked Ray to choose Crocodile in advance, which did not have the ability to break shields.
As a result, Ray was caught in the top lane and became a breakthrough point. Not only did he not become the carry point that carried the team in the mid-term, but he took the eggs of the other four teammates and became the real shooting brother.
"You can't say that."
"I also agree to let the crocodile be chosen as a volunteer."
Abramovich told the truth: "Moreover, Crocodile has a 19.2% appearance rate in the summer split, second only to Sword Demon's 24.2%. He is a mainstream top laner, but he is not very good at it."
"Okay, okay, okay." Ed Zhu tried to calm down: "It's not wrong to choose the Crocodile, but we didn't even make it to the playoffs, and we will lose a lot of sponsorship... The more important thing is and Ye Tian’s contract.”
"The contract with Ye Tian?" Abu asked tentatively: "Does Ye Tian want to play in other LPL teams to play in the World Championship? Do you want to terminate the contract in advance?"
"No." Ed Zhu shook his head: "If it was Ye Tian who proposed this idea, it would be better to terminate the contract directly. Ye Tian helped us win two championships, and we did not enter the World Championship this year. It is reasonable to terminate the contract one year in advance. .”
"Ye Tian didn't mention it, did Teng Jing mention it?" Abu's mind was racing.
The contracts of professional players must be submitted to the official record, and the officials are naturally familiar with the terms. It is confirmed that EDG will not qualify for the S9 finals. In order to ensure the winning streak in the LPL division, the officials naturally want to pull Ye Tian out of the restrictions of EDG.
"Yes."
Ed Zhu told the truth: "Tengjing contacted me and asked me to take the initiative to terminate the contract and contribute to the LPL region."
"Why!" Maokai sneered: "Ye Tianti terminates the contract. We should all agree based on the circumstances. Ye Tian is not in a hurry, but Teng Jing is in a hurry?"
Ye Tian asked to terminate the contract, but EDG did not and could not argue with him.
After all, the contract signed by both parties was only for three years, and two full years have passed since the summer of 2017.
If EDG refuses to terminate the contract one year in advance, so that they can get together and break up, and strive for future cooperation opportunities, they will fall into verbal criticism from the entire LPL region and even the world's audience, lose the honeymoon relationship they worked hard to maintain with Ye Tian, and lose both fame and fortune.
To sum up, Ai Dezhu can actually accept the result of early termination of the contract, and is ready to agree to Ye Tian and increase his favorability.
but.
It was not Ye Tian who was waiting, but Teng Jing.
Who the hell is Tengjing?
Maokai's words are a little subtle, but the meaning he expresses is very clear - the emperor is not in a hurry, why should the eunuch be in a hurry?
"They were not in a general hurry. They called me before the game was over."
Edju revealed the source of his anger.
EDG's failure to make the playoffs will certainly make Ed Zhu angry, but a series of events such as the factory director retreating behind the scenes, EDG losing its status as a fantasy god in the civil war, stumbling to get the third seed last year, and this year's regular season being even worse have already made Ed Zhu angry. Zhu was mentally prepared and would not go into a rage.
What really made Ed Zhu unable to suppress his anger was Teng Jing's attitude.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the EDG team's contribution to the LPL division is second only to Ye Tian.
In addition to the Bird's Nest winning the cup and S8 defending the title, the most exciting thing for the LPL region was EDG's brilliant performance in overthrowing SKT in the 2015 MSI finals.
As a privileged team, EDG feels a little guilty when facing other clubs.
Facing Tengjing, EDG can definitely shout with confidence: I have made contributions to the LPL competition area, and I have contributed to the LPL competition area.
In this case, Teng Jing stabbed EDG in the waist from behind. He didn't care about the negative impact Ye Tian helped other teams win on EDG, how much the gold content of the two championships would be reduced, and he didn't care about EDG after so many years. With all the credit and hard work, how could Edju not be angry?
"What's Ye Tian's attitude?"
Abu pointed to the core: "If Ye Tian wants to understand, we will treat what Teng Jing said as farts. Even though it smells a bit smelly, we can tolerate it by covering our noses. If Ye Tian doesn't want to understand, there is no way Teng Jing can force us." Are both parties 'voluntary' together? ”
"Ye Tian hasn't told me yet, let's do this. You and Ming Kai will meet with Ye Tian to explore Ye Tian's tone, and then reveal what Teng Jing said..." Ai Dezhu wanted to play the emotional card.
"Okay, I'll go with Mingkai right away." In fact, Abu had already thought of this, and was waiting for Ed Zhu Xianti.
Drive to Datian Park.
As soon as Abu and the factory director entered the door, they saw familiar figures from behind.
It's the Kid who was picked out alone in the jingle "Brothers work together, more than a thousand pounds, plus (), crush the steel bars."
Not familiar with jingles?
It doesn't matter.
Kid has a nickname - E-Sports Yuan Shao.
It was the kid You Shen who picked Vayne and only did 443 damage in the whole game. Together with the 556 assist of Keke, he just made up 999 Piyanping.
Next to this broad back, there is a thin body that is easily overlooked.
Others may not recognize it, but Abramovich and the factory director will never ignore this hard-working player who often stays in the EDG training room until the last minute. If it weren't for his poor talent, this player would definitely be able to make it in the professional circle with his hard work. Make some achievements.
certainly.
This player is more famous for luck than hard work.
The world champion with 0% winning rate is the only one among the two.
Across from Kid You Shen and A Guang are the managers of two teams, TES and BLG. The former was renamed from TOP and is backed by Taobo Sports, while the latter is a team bought by Station B for IM quotas and is also a team with a lot of money. exist.
The IG, FPX, TES, and BLG clubs represented by these four people are also the four teams with the highest points besides RNG. They all have the possibility of entering the World Championship. On the day EDG confirmed that they would not qualify for S9, they went to the Datian Park, and their thoughts were obviously wrong. On the bright side. "Manager, Mingkai, you are here too."
Ye Tian was not surprised: "I guessed that many people would be coming today. I have prepared tea for you. Sit down quickly."
"We're all so familiar, you're so polite..." Halfway through, Abu saw the tea on the table clearly, and his voice suddenly got stuck. It took a few seconds to finally squeeze out the second half of the sentence from his throat: "You're really not polite. Ah!”
"Is it the same iced tea as last time?" The factory director didn't hold back.
"It's different, it's different this time." Ye Tian firmly denied: "Last time it was a large bottle of iced black tea that cost four yuan. This time it has been upgraded to a small package that costs three yuan a bottle. The unit price is nearly twice as high."
"Go, go, go." The factory director said hello to the others and sat down: "The beatings made by those little brats today were so embarrassing. I'm so angry that I haven't eaten yet. Have you eaten? If not, Please.”
"You don't want Bilian, right?" Ye Tian leaned closer and said, "Let's go to the Peace Hotel, a piece of bread and a bottle of water for everyone."
"Don't do it, I'll do it anyway. You can go back and reimburse yourself." Abu took care of everything.
The three of them were talking about eating.
The actual expression means to see off guests.

The managers of TES and BLG were the first to react and leave Datian Park.
Kid followed closely behind.
A Guang was just about to leave when he was stopped by Ye Tian.
As a rare old teammate, even if we have a mission, we don't waste time getting together.
Abu glanced at Aguang when no one was paying attention.
Who says honest people have no scheming ideas?
It is best used when honest people are tempted.
When FPX bought Aguang as Doinb's partner, many people thought that FPX was just using Aguang, a champion with a zero win rate, to gain popularity. But looking back, FPX definitely made a move at that time and used Aguang to play the emotional card with Ye Tian. thoughts.
The five of them came to a riverside restaurant and ordered signature dishes such as steamed East China Sea large yellow croaker, braised lobster with Taizhou bean noodles, feast roast duck with sturgeon caviar, stewed fish maw with bamboo shoots and eggs, etc. After filling their stomachs briefly, they talked about the world this year. race thing.
Ye Tian, Zhi Zi, Abu, and the factory director belong to a community of interests. Although A Guang is in the FPX team, he is still considered a half wife, so there is no need to hide his words.
"For me personally, the money from the outer divisions is definitely more."
After listening to Abu's message, Ye Tian put his words on the table: "Before Aguang and the others came, clubs from other divisions came to visit. In addition to Europe and North America, there is also an LCK club."
"The LCK has them? They used to reject foreign aid." The factory director was surprised.
"Ask Ye Tian to go to FPX or IG, and they won't be able to win this year." Abramovich can understand: "When we won the championship, we had the foreign aid Rucan. When they invited Ye Tian over, it was just a foreign aid, with the same number of players."
Why did the LPL division start the era of Korean aid?
A small part of the reason is that Korean players are of high quality and low price, are stronger than domestic players, but have lower wages than domestic players. But a larger part of the reason is that without Korean players, their performance is not good and they are unable to compete for the world championship.
If the all-China team is capable of winning the championship, even if the Korean players can enter the LPL, they will be nothing more than a foil.
The same is true for the LCK division.
Based on Ye Tian's record in S7 and S8 in the two years of Tongtiandai, even if the designer has been targeting him for another year, as long as he joins a strong team that has the ability to compete for the world championship, he will still be the terrifyingly powerful BOSS, completing three consecutive games. The probability of winning the crown is guaranteed to be above 50%.
Buying Ye Tian will be a trade-off and will allow the LCK, which has been defeated for two full years, to regain control of the World Championship. No matter how much foreign players are rejected by Bangzi, there is no way he will be unmoved by such a huge benefit.
Moreover, one Chinese and four Koreans won the championship together, and the Koreans had four out of five championships!
"I won't consider LCK for the time being."
Ye Tian said his plan: "Like last year's FNC, Korean baseball felt that I had to be with them. The money they gave me was only a little more than half of what the European and American clubs did. North America gave me the most, but it was too difficult to play with four pendants." .”
"Not appropriate." The factory director thought from Ye Tian's point of view: "For you, the most profitable thing is to win three consecutive championships, preferably three consecutive FMVPs."
Three consecutive championships + three consecutive FMVPs. Except for the number of championships, which is barely equal to that of Faker, all other statistics are the first in the world. The economic benefits it brings can be imagined.
How much more can North American clubs give?
Ten or twenty million?
That little money is completely trivial, okay?
"If you want to win the championship, I recommend European teams."
Abramovich carefully analyzed: "IG is in very bad shape this year. Rookie does not have as strong a personal ability as last year. Baolan is basically sleepwalking. Theshy can't stand alone, and you wouldn't be that easy to lead."
"FPX looks okay, but their flaws are too obvious. There is no Xayah in the AD hero pool, and the Nakano assistant's three-game strategy cannot be used in another version. As long as the mid laner's roaming is restricted, the rhythm of the entire team will freeze... Judging from their performance throughout the year, they are too easily targeted by designers.”
Currently, the official server has just been updated to version 9.14.
There are still four updates until 9.18 used in the World Championship.
The FPX team ranked first in the spring regular season. Although they lost to the explosive JDG in the post-season semi-finals, they crushed and won in the third place battle. In the intercontinental competition, the LCK's first Griffin did not win a single dragon. Returning to After the LPL, other teams were treated as human machines. Only the IG team finally managed to win a game from FPX.
Such a strong performance, coupled with the fact that LPL has two consecutive championships before, and it is tilted to other competition regions from a fair perspective, the designer is very likely to focus on FPX and take action.
Although Abu's words were mixed with personal emotions, he was indeed thinking about Ye Tian.
Compared with LPL fighting and LCK operations, the biggest advantage of Europe and the United States is all kinds of wild ideas. From Ban/Pick to lineup matching, it is difficult to predict. This year’s competition environment where most heroes can be played perfectly echoes The characteristics of European and American teams.
TL and G2 were able to eliminate IG and SKT successively and meet in the MSI finals, largely due to this.
What?
There usually aren’t big updates before Worlds?
That’s ‘usually’!
As early as the S5 season, Riot Games made a large-scale update of BUFF in Europe and the United States, but it was picked up by the LCK, which was the fastest to adapt to the version.
In the past two years, the LCK has been weak. For the LPL, which has won two consecutive championships and won the S8 championship for the whole year, Riot Games will inevitably have the intention to win over Europe and the United States.
It’s more than just an emotional component.
There is also the irreproachable reason that ‘when European and American teams win, the League of Legends competition ecosystem will be healthier’.
"If Ye Tian wants to go to Europe, let EDG handle the LPL side."
Abramovich said: "You have a contract anyway, and EDG refuses to terminate the contract. You can't go to other LPL clubs to help. You can only go to Europe to fight for your own three consecutive championships. If the LPL audience wants to criticize EDG, they will criticize EDG no matter what." Can’t spray on your head.”
"EDG is like me, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water." The factory director helped: "Ye Tian, if you don't want to go to Europe, but want to go to other LPL teams, you can negotiate with EDG to terminate the contract at any time - Ed Zhu before coming here Just tell us.”(End of Chapter)
