LOL: Who still wants to play professionally after winning the championship?

Chapter 358 Not a pig, dog, or ginger

Let the star players of the LPL go to Europe to play in the league?

This is naturally impossible!
Nowadays, a large amount of capital is pouring into the domestic e-sports industry, and players' salaries are no longer the tens of thousands a month they used to be. It is common for players with some strength to have contracts worth more than one million.

Coupled with the end of this year's S7 finals, LPL officials will carry out the alliance process after entering the S8 season.

By then, there will be three more teams, and more capital will pour into the e-sports industry.

It is foreseeable that players' salaries will definitely increase greatly.

Let star players go to Europe to play professionally?

Unless the unit of the contract worth tens of thousands is changed from yuan to euros, absolutely no player will go to Europe to play games.

There are many reasons for this.

The first is the barrier to language communication.

As the older generation said, those who play e-sports are all people who cannot read.

Currently, the one with the lowest academic qualifications among LPL players belongs to the Snake Club. He graduated from kindergarten. Not to mention English or English with local dialects, even his Chinese vocabulary is lacking to an extremely exaggerated level.

If he couldn't think of an adjective, he would describe it with "giant" + a drawn-out tone.

If he couldn't answer, he would pretend to be crazy and use facial expressions to "interact".

I can't even learn Chinese well.

Do you still expect people like this to learn English?

That is certainly possible.

If he were allowed to go to Europe to play in a league, and he was brutally abused because he couldn't communicate with other players on the team, wouldn't it be extremely shameful for the i-states?

This is one of the reasons why it is so thankless for LPL professional players to go to Europe to play games.

In addition, there is a huge difference between the playing styles of teams in the LPL and European Leagues.

To put it simply,

LCK plays operations.

LPL plays more operations + more frequent fights.

The European and American professional leagues take the fighting to an extremely exaggerated level. If they use the same playback interface as the LPL, and then cover up the team names and player names for the LPL audience to see, they will definitely think that they are two Internet cafes. The teams are fighting each other!

To know,
In many cases, it is not only the players who make themselves successful, but also the team that makes the players, and the competition region that makes the players.

Looking at the history of the League of Legends league, there is almost no phenomenon of going against the version to win the championship.

Just like Tang Jun's previous life, the S8 World Championship made countless gamblers jump off the rooftop.

Before the World Championship, RNG was the undisputed champion. They won all the championships they could win. Even the six training games they played every day before the official opening of the World Championship were completely abusing their opponents.

Regardless of whether the opponent is from the European and American divisions, the LCK or the old opponents of the LPL, Casa can chase the opponent's jungler in the jungle and kill, and Uzi can use the safe space created by Casa to constantly attack the opponent's bottom lane. Perform suppression and directly speed through the explosion line.

However, after the changes in the World Championship version were gradually discovered by other teams, RNG suffered severe sanctions from G2 in the quarterfinals!
Because the version of the summer split in 2018 was actually a mess.

After the banpick is selected, which hero in the team needs to develop quickly to be useful, then the entire team can sacrifice everyone to develop it and wait for him to take over the game.

As a result, the bottom lane is full of strange "unconventional AD heroes" such as Crow Rock Ball Girl.

This weird phenomenon is naturally inconsistent with the version concept of Riot designers. Therefore, in the second half of the summer competition, the designers continued to make major adjustments to the version. Until the S8 World Championship version, the ecological environment of the version has been greatly changed. Basically, all branches have become relatively balanced, and there are no heroes who are particularly brainless.

A large part of RNG's failure can be attributed to the fact that balance came too late!

Only the World Championship version has a good balance.

However, RNG had previously used the ultimate "four guarantees and one" tactic to let Uzi take over the game and tasted the benefits of the LPL Spring Split, MSI, LPL Summer Split, Intercontinental Split, and even the Asian Games.

change?

Why change if you can win!

So in the World Championship, RNG still continued their playing style all year long!
RNG is unique.

Because except for RNG, no other team has formed an effective and long-term overall strategy based on the version before the World Championship, from the Summer Split to the World Championship.

This is why the entire Korean team stretched their hips that year!

Some old and powerful teams like SKT and Samsung cannot even enter the World Championship!
The teams in the LCK division are unable to withstand the whimsical lineups from Europe and the United States, as well as the occasional explosive strength!
However, after the World Championship version changed, the overall pace slowed down.

RNG's style of play can no longer be applied.

In the group stage, RNG was able to easily win because other teams didn't react and Uzi was at his peak. However, after meeting G2 in the quarterfinals, who had already figured out the answer to the version, even if the players were on the field I tried my best, but I couldn't win the entire BO5.

It's that simple.

The fittest survive, the fittest perish!

Tang Jun doesn’t think that several players in the LPL division can still exert their dominance in the LPL after going to the European League to play!

Of course, apart from this reason, the most important reason is that the domestic e-sports market is already big enough!

If you go to Europe to play professional leagues, there may be new stars emerging in China, which will directly lead to domestic fans who were originally LPL star players (such as Wei Shen and Uzi) to be attracted by the new stars.

"No, Mr. Grace, I think you may have misunderstood me."

"I don't want regional superstars like Uzi and Clearlove7 to go to Europe to play professional leagues. First of all, it's not worth it in terms of cost. Secondly, it's impossible for them to give up the domestic market in China and go to Europe to play professional leagues in unfamiliar places. "

“The price/performance ratio is really low!”

"I have a bolder idea!"

Tang Jun's voice was full of confusion, Grace could hear it, but it was precisely because of this that the curiosity in his heart became stronger.

"Do you want players from your club to come to Europe to play in professional leagues?"

"GodV or the two new players Thehsy and Ning who performed very well this season?"

Obviously, although Grace called him quickly, this guy definitely knew about the GBG club before making the call.

"Do not."

"neither."

"I believe you must be very curious in your heart."

Tang Jun continued to seduce the old boy Grace and said nothing. When he couldn't hold back and wanted to ask, Tang Jun spoke: "..."
