Perhaps no one could have imagined that the new TI champion Serenity would have lost two before it was disbanded. and the news of Super's departure, Serenity naturally will not reveal it to the outside world too soon.

After experiencing the initial regret, Luo Tianshen's mood quickly calmed down. Although there are two less generals, as long as the Trident led by Kyung Joon is still there, Serenity will not fall.

However, what Luo Tianshen didn't expect was that in his opinion, the renewal of the contract of the player who was nine out of ten sure turned out to be difficult!

As if he had said it, the No. 5 big dog was also firm in his idea of retiring, and no matter how Luo Tianshen dissuaded him, he couldn't change his mind.

The big dog who has been active in the Dota arena since 2009 is older than Super, and now he is 28 years old, which is considered a big senior in the entire Dota 2 professional circle.

In ancient times, the e-sports environment was far less than it is now, and the prize money was pitiful, and except for a very few clubs with stable sponsors, most players were unable to make ends meet, and even food and clothing were a problem.

Although it sounds very cheesy and superficial, professional players in that era played games for money, but considering the esports environment at that time, such a mentality was completely understandable.

After winning the TI4 championship, Dagou bought a house for his mother, bought a car for his sister, and he still has a surplus to do financial management, and there is a way out such as commentary and anchors in the future, in fact, there is no need to fight the field anymore.

If it weren't for Luo Tianshen's repeated requests in the middle of this season, Big Dog would never have appeared as a team member again. The long-term irregular routine has made the big dog's body not so healthy, and although it has improved recently under the management of serenity and standardization, he can no longer maintain concentration for as long as he did in previous years.

"It's okay for you to let me be a coach, I promise to be serious and responsible, but if you let me play for another year, I really can't play." The big dog stubbornly ignored Luo Tianshen's earnest gaze, and said with some self-deprecation, "I'm old, I really can't move." ”

The big dog has become an old dog, and he can't fight anymore.

Coincidentally, Big Dog not only made the same decision to retire as Super, but even had the same idea. Although he has been trying his best to improve himself, it is a pity that the years are not forgiving, and Dagou also feels that the gap between himself and his teammates is getting bigger and bigger.

"Alas......" The big dog had already said it to this point, and Luo Tianshen knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only sigh bitterly.

TI7 won the runner-up big dog with honorable retirement, and the TI results of Jumping Knife and iceice are the same as one championship and one runner-up, and together they have become the best players in China's TI. (This book is clear)

If the retired Luo Tianshen of the big dog still feels that it is forgivable, then the jumping knife makes Luo Tianshen a little unbelievable.

"What do you say? You're retiring too?! "Luo Tianshen really never expected that the jumping knife, which was still in the year of fighting and maintained a super high level of competition, actually made the decision to retire.

Luo Tianshen is really puzzled, such a hot top mid-laner, even if he wants to seek a bigger contract, there are a lot of clubs willing to shoot, why don't he want to play?!

You know, the wings won the championship on TI6 and it was the driving force for him to enter the Luo Tianshen!

Luo Tianshen, who had always been very good at talking in the eyes of the team members, rarely lost his temper, and said in an unkind tone: "What do you think?!" ”

He also had the intention of scaring the jumping knife, but how could the 52-year-old man be so easily frightened, the jumping knife scratched his head, and said with a simple smile: "Hehe, I also want to be a coach." ”

Are you sick? What's so good about being a coach?!

Luo Tianshen almost pointed at the nose of the jumping knife and scolded, but finally couldn't hold back and didn't have a seizure, and said bluntly: "The coach candidates for next season's Serenity and have been decided!" ”

"I know, but one coach isn't enough." Jumping Knife didn't show the slightest surprise, and said with a predetermined look, "I've discussed this matter with Kyung Joon, and we both feel that the amount of information in Dota 2 is too large, and the current training is a bit too simple." In addition to the traditional coach who is responsible for BP and situation analysis, there should also be a full-time coach who is responsible for refining the training content. ”

There has been a lot of communication between Jumping Knife and Kyung Joon, and in addition to the technical details, there is also an understanding of the game as a whole. Jingzhun has put forward the concept of "specialization" on jumping knives more than once, and in Jingzhun's mouth, the first step of specialization should start with more systematic and meticulous training.

"Did he say that?" As soon as he heard that Jing Zhun was involved, Luo Tianshen immediately pricked up his ears. He knew that the jumping knife would not deceive people, but he was still a little puzzled in his heart, "Then why didn't he tell me?!" ”

Jumping Knife replied with the same good old man's expression: "Uh...... He said that he has always carried the special training of TS, and he has cooperated well with super. ”

Serenity's outrageously solid performance is due to the fact that they have never let up on their special training sessions since day one, and details that seem to require extra attention from other teams have become a habit here at Serenity.

"Hmm......" Jumping knife said this, Luo Tianshen really felt that there was some reason, but he immediately found the blind spot, "Then why do you have to come?" Can't you find someone else? ”

"It's better for me to come!" Jumping Knife shook his head and explained, "These training contents should be formulated according to the characteristics of the players, and the coach must have enough understanding of the players, and he must also have enough competitive level!" ”

This kind of full-time coach is not a bastard who orders takeout or a person who often pulls players to play other games in his spare time, and there are very few people in China who can have this level.

Luo Tianshen admitted that he was convinced, but he still felt a little regretful: "Then you don't want to fight?" ”

But the jumping knife is very open, with a championship and a runner-up in hand, he really doesn't have much to fight as a professional player anymore, he said in a joking tone: "What's the point of fighting again?" Take a few more runners-up? ”

"Not necessarily!"

Luo Tianshen wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by the jumping knife again: "Boss, serenity's current training is too far ahead of other teams, I dare to pack tickets, until the end of TI8, unless there is a player in a position who can reach the height of Jingzhun, and it must be a big brother, otherwise there can be no team that is the opponent of serenity!" ”

Jumping Knife has a deep affection for him, and he's ready to do his best to help make another great comeback next season. Although due to the slow serenity, we can only maintain a catch-up posture for a short time, but at least we must maintain the height of this season.

"Tsk......" words were said to death by Jumping Knife, Luo Tianshen really had nothing to do, so he could only accept Jumping Knife's request and send out a coaching contract.

After one TI fight, three TI champions retired, all of whom were heavyweights. This even includes last year's and this year's champions, which is really shocking.

The news of the retirement of Super, Big Dog and Jumping Knife has not been released, and Kyungjoon only learned of the decision to retire after returning to his hometown.

But just after he finished talking to the two, IG Club suddenly posted a Weibo:

“IG. DOTA2：

Veteran Burning chose to take a break from the professional arena after TI7 and shifted his focus to his family instead of being a team carryer. ”

Although it is only written "temporarily" in Weibo, considering Burning's age, it is very likely that the writing "temporary farewell" is pronounced as "farewell".

With the retirement of the fourth heavyweight, the era of the "Big C's" has come to an end.

Before the retirement decision of Super, Big Dog and Jumping Knife was released, there were already good people who named the pattern of the professional circle as a new era of "One God and Four Emperors".

In the eyes of fans, the jumping knife will continue to fight, and Miracle, Sumail and Noone are called the four emperors, and above the four, there is the only god of Dota 2 today.
