Chapter 6: EDG's dominance

Chapter 6 - EDG's dominance
"What are your plans next? The transfer period has almost begun and will end on the 14th of next month. If there is a team you want to join, let me know and I will see if I can help you get in touch with them."

PDD still likes Yuan Shen's playing style. He almost never misses a LPL game, especially strong teams like IG, LGD, EDG, and OMG.

Although he really wanted Yuan Shen to join his team, the team hasn't been established yet and it's just a makeshift team, so it's hard to say it out loud.

"It's hard to say. I'm already very satisfied to be able to continue playing professionally."

Yuan Shen smiled.

News from the outside world is now spreading everywhere. The words Uzi said during the interview completely dominated the public opinion. Not to mention his original personal fans, even OMG fans blamed him for the loss in the playoffs.

He left OMG, and the official Weibo didn't even release any news, which in itself represents an attitude.

Although he had refuted it on Weibo immediately, no one cared at all. This was a carnival for the haters and the truth didn't matter at all.

The important thing is that it might be difficult for him to find a team in LPL now.

"Well... I understand your concerns, but it's okay. Uzi is not omnipotent. Feel free to contact the team. I've been in this industry for so many years, so I still have some face."

PDD took a puff of his cigarette and patted Yuan Shen on the shoulder.

"Although it's a holiday, you still need to keep up your form. Don't indulge yourself too much. You young people have a big future ahead of you."

PDD grinned, as if he remembered something.

Back then, he was full of vigor and ambition, leading his brothers to kill people everywhere...

"Don't worry, I can be in the top ten in the country with my talent if I practice casually. But now I have to wait for a nap. Why do I feel so sleepy today? I usually don't take a nap."

As he said this, King Ning yawned.

Eating too much carbohydrates...

Yuan Shen thought silently.

MGB now says that it is about to be listed. It also has four players, but the midfielder and jungler have not arrived yet. Only Xiao Ming and Ning Wang are there. Apart from PDD, there is only one team leader left. He is tall and thin and looks very gentle. His name is also related to water. His name is Wang Miao.

When Yuan Shen woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. He looked at the ceiling in a daze, and it took him a long time to wake up.

"Are you awake? The game is about to start. Let's watch it together later."

Ning Wang called out, although OMG was eliminated, the playoffs are still going on. Today they will face IG and EDG, two of the top three teams in LPL in terms of hard power.

Although MGB's temporary base is not large, it is fully equipped. The training room directly projects the game onto the big screen, giving Yuan Shen the illusion of returning to a high school classroom to watch a movie.

However, what we are going to watch now is not a movie, but a League of Legends game.

"IG beat VG 3-1 before, I think today's game is in jeopardy."

Prince Ning was eating potato chips while giving advice on the country, but was met with a lot of cold stares from everyone.

“Do I need you to tell me that? The Oscar night was not fake. This season’s EDG is so fierce and cool, who can beat them?” PDD rolled his eyes, pushed Ning Wang away with his big butt, and forced his way in to sit next to Yuan Shen.

"Didn't EDG win WE 3-2 a few days ago? What's the big deal? Anything can happen."

Ning Wang didn't care. The first round of the playoffs was EDG vs. WE. Because of Pawn's waist injury, the substitute mid laner U played in all the first four games.

In the first two games, EDG almost crushed the opponent with a score of 2-0. However, in this situation, WE seemed to wake up and won two games in a row, dragging the game into the deciding game.

However, EDG finally waited for Pawn to come from the hospital at this time. EDG played the last game almost perfectly, with a kill ratio of 21-7 and pushed down the WE base with an economic difference of in minutes.

But even so, WE's performance still surprised many people.

"There's nothing I can do. WE seems to have become a different team after returning from IEM9. They still have potential."

Yuan Shen also felt a little emotional. In IEM9 that ended last month, WE's magical performance once again created a wave in the LOL circle.

WE, ranked twelfth in LPL, defeated GG, CJ and Huya in IEM9 and entered the finals. Although they lost - to TSM and finished second, it was enough to prove the success of LPL's signings.

Just as Cardi said, there are eleven teams stronger than WE in LPL!
Yuan Shen clearly remembers that after winning the MSI championship, until the LPL was beaten black and blue in the world championship, the entire LPL region was filled with an inflated and arrogant mood.

The argument that LCK has been uprooted is not uncommon. However, it is true that all ten Samsung players have come to China, and the standard configuration of strong teams is three Chinese and two Korean players. There are no less than a hundred Korean players who have come to LPL and secondary leagues. In addition to the Korean players who are currently carrying the responsibility of carrying and playing the core position in major teams, there are also many top players who will shine in the future, such as TheShy, GimGoon, Khan, Doinb, etc.

"What do you think of the score today?"

PDD turned his head and looked at Yuan Shen.

As an old player of IG, although he has retired, he still hopes that IG can go further.

"It's hard to say, probably 3 to 0, or 3 to 1 if things get better."

Yuan Shen didn’t remember the exact score, but he still remembered the famous scene of “Wu Tian fighting against Buddha” between EDG and LGD.

In his impression, IG should have defeated the Snake team and finally won the third place.

"The gap is so big?"

PDD was a little surprised and didn't quite believe what Yuan Shen said.

Although EDG has top-notch configuration, IG is not bad either!

Don’t forget, the Samsung team was very strong last year, but it was KTA that won the OGN Summer Championship.

KTA’s core mid and jungle players are now on the IG team.

“The key is the bottom lane.”

Yuan Shen said nothing more.

What can I say about the combination of KID and Shekeke? It's very awkward.

Kid has the ability, but his mentality is problematic in big competitions. His hands were shaking when he played against Uzi, let alone against Deft.

On the contrary, he was very interested because of the attitude that Rookie was forced to switch from mid lane to top lane after joining the team.

In her current appearance, she is no longer the abstract person in FaFaFa, but a pure clip. I don’t know what extraordinary characteristics she has been developed from by her sister who is ten years older than her.

Speaking of which, Zzitai's switch from mid lane to top lane was actually a second spring for him.

Compared with those blue-collar top laners and tank top laners, Zzitai has to pay more attention to operations. After all, he is a player who is proficient in mid-lane assassin heroes. When he plays tank heroes, he can always perform some very fine and detailed operations, which makes people's eyes shine. Even the top laners in LPL who are famous for their operations do not put that much pressure on him.

The mainstream heroes in the LPL Spring Season are Maokai, Gnar, and Shen, with Lulu, Rumble, and Irelia appearing occasionally.

Zzitai's Irelia and Lulu are the most played.

The first game lasted forty minutes. The ratio of kills between the two sides was ten to four, which was not a lot, but the economic gap was as high as sixteen thousand.

“The gap is indeed huge.”

Xiao Ming sighed.

Kid in the bottom lane was directly beaten, and the mid and jungle did not gain any advantage when facing Zzaiyi and Pawn.

"It really has to be 3-0..."

PDD is a little embarrassed.

"At the beginning of the season, Principal Wang said that IG would be in trouble if they didn't make it to S5. Now that they are eliminated in the semifinals, the situation is not good."

As he spoke, PDD touched his bald head.

Today, LPL still uses a points system. The top four teams in the spring season will have 300, 200, 100, and 80 points respectively. The fifth to eighth places will have 50 points each. At the same time, the LSPL Spring Season champion will have 30 points, the runner-up will have 20 points, and the winning team of the LPL promotion match will have 10 points.

The top four teams in the summer season have 450, 300, 150, and 100 points respectively, and the fifth to eighth places have 60 points each.

Except for the team with the highest points throughout the year, which can be guaranteed to advance to the World Championship as the number one seed, all other teams have to play in the bubble match, but the team with higher points has higher priority and can play one less round.

 Follow-up reading is related to whether it can be recommended. Dear big brothers, please don't raise the book, water the seedlings more. I will give back to you big brothers by publishing 10,000 chapters a day after the book is put on the shelves. Thank you~
