I actually became the head coach of edg

Chapter 244 Before you came, we were already champions
After winning a wave of two consecutive victories at the beginning, EDG has already come to the top of the standings. This time, many people have recognized EDG, which has made a comeback this year.

Except for EDG and DK, the two strongest teams in MSI, only MAD, the European lion in LEC, has shown its own momentum.

In this MSI, the performance of many teams can be described as uneven.

The performance of many other teams at this MSI is more like a foil role.

When the spring champions of other regions faced the ace teams of these major regions, they all showed a state of being close to being crushed.

It's all toys!

No matter in terms of lineup BP selection, player personal strength, team details and even operational level, the gaps between the teams in this year's MSI are very obvious.

But the deep-seated reason is that the soils where these teams take root are different.

A very interesting little thing happened at this MSI: the PGG team from the ICO division had to postpone the game that day because of the equipment failure of its players before the game.

Because the players only have one set of peripherals, even on a stage as big as MSI, these players still have to worry about equipment problems.

This is actually the biggest gap between the League of Legends divisions: when you are fighting against ideals, others are fighting against life.

In the 2017 League of Legends Global Mid-Season Tournament, GAM's excellent performance aroused heated discussions among the audience of League of Legends events around the world.

However, some netizens found that the overall price of the peripherals they used was only RMB 38.

The team's core Carry point player, Levi, was finally poached by the North American team with a cheap annual salary of 5 US dollars.

However, even the annual salary of 5 US dollars is an astronomical figure that is absolutely out of reach for professional players in Vietnam.

The only guy from Vietnam who really made a name for himself was Sofm.

Li Guangwei, the legendary character of Lingshi Road!

On the final stage of the World Championship last year, the people behind the SN team who supported them the most were not our LPL fans, but the whole of Vietnam!

The richest man.

Vietnamese pride!

The biggest reason behind the rapid development of LPL in recent years is the alliance.

As the LPL, LCK, and LEC have gradually moved towards alliances, the strength of the teams at the top of the entire LPL division is actually in a state of rising step by step.

Although in recent years, many LPL viewers have been discussing topics such as "LPL games are getting worse and worse" and "why such a good team doesn't play LDL".

A large part of the reason is because the gap between many teams at the bottom of the LPL and the upstream teams is as large as a natural moat.

The difference between the two is, as everyone says: abuse of food.

In the later LPL teams, the so-called Diablo Five Kings teams gradually emerged: ES, RW, OMG, TT, LGD.

At that time, the senior colonel also specially named the top four dark kings in the LPL competition area.

They are Alielie, Chelizi, Cube and New respectively.

Seeing the "detailed" operations between these four people will make everyone feel endless aftertaste, and it is so delicious to be stuck in it for a long time and unable to extricate themselves!

Puppet Beast Cube: If you help me, I will not C, if you don’t help me, you will explode, if you want to ask who I am, take care of your parents on the road.

Iron Sea Dragon Beast Chelizi: The matchup top laner will always be like a god of war.

Mechanical Evil Dragon Beast Alielie: It is said that putting personal highlights on the Internet is a disgrace to the LPL competition area.

Clown Emperor New Treasure: Patients in the Bronze and Silver Bureau can even vaguely see themselves in him.

There is even a rumor in the market: This year's Theshy was directly rated as the first among all the kings of heaven by netizens - the Dark God because of the brilliant operations of Gnar and Quinn.

Therefore, quite a few people hope that the competition area can restore the previous promotion and relegation competition system to make the league ecology more fluid, and eliminate those teams that are too weak in the LPL to the LDL.

After all, many spectators have no desire to watch such a game with such a disparity in strength.

Rnm.

Get your money back!
However, as the League of Legends becomes more mature and popular, it is an inevitable trend to cancel the relegation mechanism and move toward alliances.

Since LPL took the lead in announcing the launch of reforms in 2017, the results brought about by alliances are obvious to all.

Not only has LPL rapidly improved its competitive level, it has won two League of Legends World Championships in a row, and it is at the forefront in terms of commercialization and brand building.

Especially after the alliance of the LPL, not only the league advertisements, but also the advertising revenue brought by the team itself through operation is much higher than before.

The advertisements of star teams such as RNG, IG, and FPX seem to have never stopped.

Because the investment risk at this time has been so small that it cannot be lowered, and a lot of capital can be safely and boldly invested after the alliance.

The minutes-long advertisements of the commentators before the game made people feel very distressed: Why hasn't the game started yet?
So it is not unreasonable for many people to call the League of Legends the "Advertising League" now.

But in fact, if there is no such strong capital support behind many teams and competition areas, the development speed of LPL in recent years will definitely not be so fast.

Just like the classic quote of Mr. Ma Huateng: If you don’t recharge, how can you become stronger?

After the alliance reform cancels the relegation system, investors and clubs can avoid many short-sighted behaviors that are struggling to deal with relegation. Things like Marco's desperate efforts to relegation for the team will no longer happen.

Today's clubs can start with the team's long-term planning, such as team youth training, system construction, IP building, etc.

Although vicious behaviors such as "spinach" and "coercion" have emerged in the competition area after the alliance of the LPL, the benefits it brings in the general direction are obvious.

The reason why EDG can go to the battlefield of MSI this year is also because of the benefits of alliance.

As long as krypton gold.

can become stronger!

I am still the boy who charged money, nothing has changed.

In the next few games, EDG successfully won and successfully maintained an undefeated golden body.

But after DK lost the opening game, the atmosphere in the whole team became very dignified, and the big tortoise, full of anger, could only vent his anger on other teams.

The crushing rounds one after another made people see the true strength of the defending champion.

Although every DK bot duo seems to have problems of one kind or another, after the start of the team battle, DK can still defeat the opponent like a broken bamboo.

It's just that Beryl, the support player after every game, is always addicted to a game called Mihayou.

Although Kkoma saw it off the field, he didn't say much.

This year is his first time coaching the defending champion team DK. As the head coach, he can't interfere too much with the players.

After all, no matter how good this team is, it's not SKT.

It has to be said that the off-court atmosphere of the LCK division and the LPL division is actually very different.

The LPL team basically has a big family atmosphere. The atmosphere in the entire club is very active and enthusiastic. The head coach and players usually talk about what they have.

On the other hand, the LCK competition area is more hierarchical and institutionalized. Everyone treats this thing as a job, and everyone can complete their own tasks.

Therefore, the entire DK management will turn a blind eye to some of Beryl's off-court actions, as long as they don't affect the daily training.

For Kkoma, who has just arrived here, clicking to the end is what he should do as an adult.

If you go too far to interfere with Beryl, in case someone suddenly says "before you came, we were already champions", then the days when the head coach gets along with the players will not be very pleasant.

In the entire DK team, Kkoma's favorite player from the bottom of his heart is Showmaker in the middle.

Because Xu Xiu has the same kind of thing as Li Ge. This kind of thing has nothing to do with strength and manipulation on the field, but a very similar heart that wants to keep winning.

For e-sports players, talent will determine the lower limit of a person, but the spirit of indomitable and hard work will determine a person's real upper limit.

For this year's MSI, Kkoma actually has a premonition in his heart: their DK team will not go smoothly.

Kkoma, who brought out SKT, the triple crown team in the history of League of Legends, knows exactly what a truly strong team needs to have.

Although many people are surprisingly optimistic about the DK team this year, even though they just lost to EDG in the opening game, the trust of Korean netizens in the home team has not diminished.

Facing so many expectations from the outside world, only Kkoam knows that this team still lacks too much.

Back then, the invincible SKT almost consumed all the energy of the team after two consecutive championships in S5 and S6.

In the semi-finals of S7, when they played against RNG, the fiercest team in that version of the incense burner, they even dedicated all of their stuff in that round of BO5.

At that time, RNG fell in the semi-finals, but why not SKT?

"It's hard to win the championship."

"Consecutive championships are more difficult."

Kkoma in the backstage lounge of DK couldn't help sighing after thinking about some things in the past.

At this time, beside him, Beryl on the sofa was staring at her mobile phone meticulously, indulging in mihayou.

Q.

E.

Q.

E.

After the first round of the group stage, EDG continued to maintain its undefeated golden stature with a record of complete victories. In so many games, no one has even seen EDG's Highland Tower.

At this time, a considerable part of the audience is very optimistic that Guodian will win another MSI championship this year.

In fact, when they first arrived at MSI, the players in the EDG team were not confident about this game. After all, everyone has not played this kind of foreign war for many years.

They of the "Phantom God of Civil War" don't even know the strength of their opponents.

But after the first round of the group stage, everyone fell into a state of more and more confidence, especially the juniors in the middle.

Scout really played out his ceiling level in this MSI arena, and went berserk every game!

After Lucian's perfect performance against DK in the opening game, the junior boy seemed to have completed his own redemption, and he played completely free in the following games.

People can always burst out their strongest state when there is nothing to worry about.

Heroes such as Lucian, Silas, and Zoe are like possessed in his hands, and various Tianxiu operations are displayed one by one in his hands.

Lee Sui-can, who made his debut at MSI, made everyone in the world know his name.

Scout!

So much so that Lin Meng later fell into a very incredible expression when observing the various data of the elementary school boy.

ID: Scout
Age: 23
Good heroes: Zoe, Tsar, Clockwork, Enchantress, Ryze, Syndra
Status: Perfect - (Perfect, Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor)
Overall Rating: 95
(Operation: 95+2)

(Mentality: 94+1)

(Team: 95+1)

(Command: 90+1)

(Consciousness: 96+1)

The various data displayed by the junior student on MSI are in a state of explosion, especially his personal operation level has even reached a terrifying 97 points.

Lin Meng this year did not expect that a sudden idea of ​​his would change Li Ruican so drastically.

In his view, the fight for the MSI championship this time is far from being meaningful for his players to continue to grow.

Because every game is to finally lay the foundation on the stage of the World Championship, EDG, which has already won the MSI championship once, wants to only want the last Summoner Trophy.

The reason why it is difficult to produce the League of Legends Grand Slam throughout the year is because the team will consume too much energy to win the championship all the time.

In fact, this kind of thing often happens not only in the game competition sector, but also in other sports sectors.

The season when the Golden State Warriors won 73 wins and broke the record of Joe's Bulls was a terrible mess.

Curry, who was the first unanimously elected regular season MVP in NBA history, was even more powerful. Curry's name resounded throughout the league with 402 three-pointers.

But at the end, everyone already knows the ending of the Golden State Warriors.

With a 3-1 lead, they were pulled three games in a row by the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James. The bitter fruit of the 73-win championship was particularly bitter.

Curry, chewing on his braces and looking desolate, didn't know that in that losing summer, a similarly losing man would arrive in Golden State and wear the No. 35 jersey.

And the man with the schoolbag will start a new era with him!
It can be seen from this: Krypton Gold will become stronger no matter what field it is in!

After two days of rest, the EDG players started their journey to the second round of the group stage again.

And the first opponent they will face in the second round is DK again!

This time, DK, who came to the blue side, is going to clean up his wounds in the opening match.

Xu Xiu: It is my duty to recast the glory of DK!
