Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bundling of Principals by Black Agents
Li Zixiu sorted out his thoughts and began to recall the initial events that made the entire LPL winter window restless.
Before the 2014 LPL Summer Tournament, that is, during the period when the emperor PDD retired, the LPL set off a small-scale Korean wave invasion.
June 2014 must be an extraordinary summer for the League of Legends.
The upstart EDG's triumph in the spring season, coupled with the increasingly stable OMG, has caused other teams to have a serious sense of crisis - because the summer season will be their last chance to attack S4 for them.
As a result, the major teams that want to make a difference in the summer tournament have started a series of reinforcements. This time, the target of the recruitment is not domestic, but South Korea, which has a more mature player system.
In the spring game, the S3 runner-up royal family did not perform well, and if this situation continues, it will basically lose the qualification to participate in S4.
As a result, the management of the royal family really performed a wave of filthy earth reincarnation techniques.
They set their sights on the LCK, investing heavily in inSec, which was previously known as one of South Korea's three major junglers, and support Zero.
This recruitment can also be called the turning point of the royal family in 2014, and it was with this successful transfer that the transformation of the royal summer game was achieved.
It is also because of this wave of operations that the royal family has entered S4 again!
Compared to the Korean coaches and junglers introduced by WE, and the new laner introduced by IG after the retirement of PDD, MookComet of the OGN reserves.
Royalty is clearly the biggest winner of the LPL Summer League and is the most successful case.
After witnessing the transformation of the royal family in the summer game, the major teams in the LPL are really greedy.
Especially in the finals of S4 Seoul, those LPL teams who saw the royal family on the final stage were even more jealous.
Nima, why didn't we think of that?
Isn't arranging a few powerful sticks in the team Smecta the fastest shortcut to success?
The relegation team of the spring season has stepped onto the stage of the S4 finals!
Many teams in the LPL are melon-eating audiences this time, but the royal family is really the one who eats crabs, and the crab is fragrant and spicy, and the audience is drooling when they see the melon-eating audience.
So, the audience couldn't stand it anymore, and they smashed the melons they were holding in their hands.
Go to the special melon peel, we also have to eat crabs!
Li Zixiu understands the mentality of these teams, and he also pays attention to another news, which really makes those LPL teams with money in their hands excited.
- Official assist from the LCK.
Korea LCK (OGN) Official:
ββThe LCK in 2015 adopted the club single-team system.
In other words, a club can only have one team.
As soon as this rule appeared, it directly broke the existing ecology of the LCK.
CJ Twins, Samsung Twins, NJ Black and White Shield, these clubs all have two teams, and the LCK official really gave them a resounding slap in the face.
It is not the clubs that will be affected the most, but the players of the clubs, who will face cutthroat competition for personnel.
For example, the ten sons of Samsung, who are also in the Samsung club, must have five out of ten people going to play as substitutes.
For the pros, this kind of competition is too cutthroat.
In the S4 World Finals, SSB lost to SSW, and Dade took off his coat, which symbolizes "General", and put it on for Pawn himself, which is also the origin of Pawn's General.
Even then, it doesn't make sense for you to have Dade play the Pawn as a substitute.
You know, during the SSO period, mata was only the second conductor in the team, and Dade was the first conductor.
General Pawn has just won the S-Race championship, and he is definitely not willing to play as a substitute.
Let's not talk about the other positions, but the mid-laner position is not easy to deal with.
The Samsung club is really complaining, Assi, there are too many powerful players, it's not easy to arrange.
The Samsung club has a headache, and some club people even open a trumpet to spray under the official LCK website.
Of course, the people in the Samsung Club are very ghostly, and they spray like this:
"You guys are so shameless, this kind of behavior is completely aimed at our NJ Black and White Shield, change the rules quickly, otherwise our NJ Black and White Shield will stop the game!"
Not long after this comment appeared, another comment appeared:
"Stupid LCK officials, you should all jump into the sea to apologize, you have restricted our powerful Samsung, and you have restricted the development of South Korea's e-sports industry, you pigs!"
Seeing these comments, both the Samsung Club and the NJ Club are in a.
The top management of CJ Club is sneering.
However, it didn't take long for LCK officials to interview the top management of CJ Club.
If these things are secretly done with a small rhythm, the LCK officials don't care at all.
However, when the LPL team saw the official announcement of the LCK, it was really applauding, and their opportunity came.
As the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, since they may face being substitutes, it is better to find a larger market for development.
The performance of inSec and Zero in China has also given this group of top Korean players a glimpse of their future direction.
Let me play as a substitute, then I won't wait.
In the face of the recruitment of LPL teams and the tempting big contract market, Smecta was really tempted.
- Within the IG team.
The headmaster was standing by the window, talking to a mysterious man on his phone, and his face was not very good-looking.
At this time, Manager Xiaoluo stood beside the principal, and he was also more anxious.
Although the transfer window has not yet opened, there are many IG channels, and there is always a way to connect with some high-quality options. However, this time, the other side does not seem to give face.
A tavern near Myeongdong, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
On the basement floor of the tavern, a man with large gold teeth was sitting on a billiard table, the lamp hanging from the table flickering to reveal the black-uniformed members of the office around him.
They are the Korean underground gold tooth organization.
In Huaguo's words, it is a famous black intermediary, the kind that is very black and very black.
The man with the big gold teeth had a wicked smile on his face, and his Chinese dialect was a little sloppy.
"Kakao, rookie, tie up Smecta."
The headmaster probably understood what he meant, which was to sell Kakao and Rookie to him.
However, the headmaster frowned.
Kakao is an excellent Korean jungler, the principal is optimistic about him, and IG is lacking a good jungler.
rookie is just an ordinary mid laner player, IG mid laner already has a posture, and the posture is very heavy in the principal's heart, and he doesn't feel that he needs any rookie.
However, the black intermediary had to engage in some kind of bundling, which made the principal very annoyed.
Rookie, buy it back to manage the water dispenser?
"I want Kakao, not broilers."
"NO, NO, NO, Bundle Smecta."
The black intermediary threatened: "You, don't. Contact us at VG Smecta. β
As soon as the black agent mentioned VG, the principal immediately had a headache.
VG is a promoted horse, they are ambitious and want to do a big job. The key is that the pockets of these people are also very bulging, and VG is now like a stunned young man, asking around to buy people, and the principal said that there is really no way to encounter such a stunned young man.
If the black intermediary told VG about this, Kakao and rookie would really be packed up and taken away by VG.
The principal hesitated for three seconds and then compromised.
For Kakao's sake, he decided to pack up the broiler chicken.
But the principal is complaining in his heart, garbage black intermediaries, garbage bundled sales!
"Kakao, rookie, I'll take it, you can do it."
Big Gold Tooth laughed, "OK." β
A day later, the KTA club officially announced that it had officially terminated the contract with its jungler Kakao, and at the same time, there were also mid-laner rookie players.
This is why Kakao and Rookie were later called coal digging brothers.
I can only say that the black intermediaries in South Korea, you are too good.
