Chapter 246: The Ultimate Upset
First, the e-sports industry is developing rapidly, and its status is rising, and the treatment of professional players has improved a lot.
Once a group of unemployed young people surrounded the computer, making a living with instant noodles every day, and the national-level players 'trained' for a day, just to eat, the era is gone, replaced by a guaranteed five-figure salary, and the monthly salary + bonus of star players is more than 100,000.
Even players with average strength who can only play provincial matches earn more than the working class.
Among them, the live broadcast platform has a considerable degree of credit.
During the S1 and S2 periods, the top players slept on wooden beds and received a salary of 2,000 yuan, and in the S3 season, only food and lodging were provided before entering the LPL, and S4, the signing fee of one or two million was called 'sky-high'......
Up to now, as long as you rush to the first place in the world's server, professional clubs will have as little as dozens or more as millions of prizes.
The promotion is so fast, of course, it is not that the club owner has the mentality of 'sharing the blessings and sharing the difficulties', but 'forced' it.
ββRank is at the top of the ranking, the live broadcast platform will provide a high salary + a full set of recommendations, even if you can only play the game with your head down, without any live broadcast effect, it is not a problem to guarantee hundreds of thousands.
Every new season, including the opening of the world server, the platform will also give more or less bonuses.
Many professional players have the strength to hit the first place in the national uniform, but in order to compete, they must practice heroes who are not suitable for them, cannot use the core score, and have to spend a lot of time on custom training.
In this way, the club has to show its sincerity.
First of all, the salary should not be lower than that of the middle and upper streamers, and secondly, on the premise of ensuring the training plan, the rank ranking will be played, and the bonus will be only a lot more than that of the live broadcast platform.
Of course, it's okay not to give it, but it's hard to say whether the goal is to improve the strength or score of the players when they train.
Therefore, Su Hang does not care about the activities of Shark TV, and after the training camp, he continues to prepare for the LDL regional league.
Double elimination, eight into two, the participants are composed of five teams and three LSPL teams that have advanced from the region, namely the secondary club 2144, the dark horse TCS, and the S2 season and E and IG, the underperforming ancient team OA. Wings of Dawn.
"In the first round, let's continue to play SX, and in the second round, if nothing else, we will meet TCS." Zhou Hao and Brother Tian prepared detailed information in advance.
"SX won't say much, in such a short time, it is impossible for them to change their style, the TCS lineup is very gorgeous, and the official information of the five players is all the strongest king, of course, not all of them are national uniforms.
Li Ming likes to use output-type heroes, is good at Ruiwen and Jian Ji, and has selected Fatan many times in reverse versions, and wandering mages and vampires have quite good performances.
Jungler Shiqu, Pig Girl, Wine Barrel and other heroes performed decently, and the EZ data was the most gorgeous, with a win rate of 81%.
Zhou Huiren in the middle laner, the commonly used heroes are robbery, Tyrone, and wandering mage, and the top single can form a swing.
AD Shi Feng, in most cases, will choose functional AD, such as wheel mother, Ash.
Assist Yao Yang in protecting heroes is very attained, and the wind girl, gem, and old cow are the main forces.
As a dark horse, TCS's comprehensive strength is not too strong, but the fight is a little fierce, and it often suffers when it encounters the old operation team, so we can prepare some routines.
2144 and OA ......"
There are only a few reports to refer to, and the LSPL team has almost transparent player information after a season.
The strong want to enter the LPL, and the weak pursue relegation, so they must go all out, and they can't hide anything at all.
Of course, with the change of versions, some killer features will be developed, but there is a big difference between the First Division and the LPL, which is more about individual strength rather than teamwork, and it is not uncommon to carry the whole game on your own.
The change of style of the core players will reduce the overall strength to a considerable extent, and it is difficult to have a situation of 'turning an old hen into a duck in the blink of an eye'.
You need to be careful, but there's no need to worry about it.
By the time I was training in earnest, the six-day S7 group stage was already halfway through.
Among them, the royal family performed well, 3-0 temporarily ranked first in the group, and Team E 2-0, only losing to the king of routines M5, which was expected by everyone.
What I didn't expect was that as the No. 1 seed in their respective divisions, LZ, the top player in the LCK, and EDG, the champion of the LPL, ended miserably, getting the bottom record of 1-2 and 0-3 respectively.
"The new team has never had a good performance in the S series, and it's not surprising that LZ lost, so what happened to EDG?" Zhou Hao was very puzzled.
LZ's record is not good, it is very normal, in the first six seasons, any dark horse entered the World Finals, he would return home with two full barrels of soy sauce, enough for the kitchen for a long time.
Although EDG is not as good as the ancient teams such as E and M5, it also has enough experience in the world competition, although it has the nickname of 'the top eight every year', but qualifying for the group stage has never been regarded as a problem.
"The EDG cap is not enough." Suzhou and Hangzhou don't need to watch the game at all: "The league looks at the comprehensive strength, the lower limit is high, and if you eat the weak team, you can improve the ranking, as for the strong team, everyone has played for a year, and everyone knows each other, and anyone can win."
The World Finals is different, it is an explosion, no matter how low the strength on paper is, if you put the right gloves in, you have a chance to win in the chaos. β
"Yes, EDG's refusal to fight is the biggest problem." Brother Tian agrees: "In the LPL, you can wait for the opponent to make a mistake, but when it comes to the S series, everyone's mentality is completely different, the strings are very tight, and you must gamble."
The royal family's Yue Tower, E's Rush Dragon, SKT's group, fifty percent of the chance of winning goes up directly to fight, EDG holds seventy percent of the odds of not betting, it is equivalent to sending.
In addition, the qualification of the No. 1 seed is actually a target, the first to be selected, the first to enter the group, who are the other teams mainly studying?
Look at LCS, the number one of LMS, miserable...... Looks like we're the number one ...... too."
As he spoke, Brother Tian suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It's fun to see others as targets, think about it from another perspective, the youth team will qualify first in the region, it should, maybe, maybe, probably, it seems...... It is also a thorn in everyone's side.
ββ¦β¦β

"Shut up ......"
Compared with the 'humanoid self-propelled causal law weapon', Brother Tian is basically the opposite, and his words are often fulfilled soon after, claiming to have been opened by the senior monks of Shaolin Temple.
I just don't know what tools the monk uses to open his mouth......
Although I feel that it is easy to play SX, the routine TCS is nine out of ten, and 2144 and OA are not invincible, but after hearing Brother Tian say this, everyone is a little apprehensive.
"I'm going to practice Galio."
"I continue to get acquainted with gemstones."
Wu Yu and Shi Chen couldn't sit still one after another, and Su Hang coughed twice: "Don't be superstitious, look at me, there's nothing to worry about at all."
That, I'm going to rush to the world server ranking first......"
