After Tengjing released the news, the controversy on the Internet became more and more intense.

In the past few days, IG fans and viewers belong to Weibo who are always paying attention to IG, as well as any speculation and internal news about IG.

As soon as there was a little bit of wind and grass, fans were scared.

Originally, fans thought that this transfer period, IG was the most once and for all.

If there is no salary cap, then IG fans have a lot of confidence that the championship team of five will stay and continue to play.

On the one hand, as long as President Wang does not withdraw funds, the funds must be sufficient.

On the other hand, the double crown itself is a traffic gimmick, and the players who come out of it are even more bloody on the scalp of the LPL team.

In this case, the value of the IG players will automatically increase, and as long as the management can afford the price, it will naturally not be stingy.

Now the situation is more complicated.

The IG quintet are all at risk of being kicked out at any time.

And in the champion five-person group, take out a random player, that is, the core of the team, and even sky-high.

It is also a representative of traffic.

Many LPL teams are still very lopping.

……

As an internal member of the professional team, Liu Shuai.

The current situation is more complicated than it is reported.

Now, the management of IG has made a decision.

Leaving Theshy and Handsome to help Ning find a job, Rookie and Jack prepare to pack up and sell to a certain team.

At present, we are still discussing.

The specific content, Liu Shuai must not know.

And what IG is most concerned about is how to strengthen next year's lineup.

Theshy's contract with Handsome has been negotiated.

The two signed a one-year contract for the same 2900w.

This value is already the highest in the entire LPL professional player.

Other teams simply can't afford to sign these two players.

Even Uzi, the top traffic of LPL, is worth only 2500W.

And the remaining budget, there is still 1200w at your disposal.

And this 1200w has to sign three strong players.

For Su Xiaoluo, this is not an ordinary difficulty!

January 4th.

Su Xiaoluo called Liu Shuai and theshy to the conference room.

"You two are the champions who are left behind, so the next step is to rebuild the team with the two of you, and the problem now is that you two are worth a lot of money, and in this case, our budget is not particularly high."

"If you want to say that you bring in particularly strong players, you can only say that I tried my best, but it was difficult."

"So the next thing is some of the players I got in the transfer market at relatively reasonable prices, let you see, some of them I have briefly communicated with them, and they are more accepting of the value in that range, and then they can come to the trial at any time."

After Su Xiaoluo finished speaking, he gave the list in his hand to Liu Shuai.

Liu Shuai took it, and on a blank piece of paper, there were only a few names.

Loken, Gala, Xiaopeng, Leyan, Kuro (expensive)

Su Xiaoluo continued: "If you look at the current situation, if you sign Kuro, you won't be able to sign Loken. ”

"Then if it's to sign Loken, our style of play may have to return to S7, that is, you go and wander around to help the middle and upper build an advantage, but we haven't contacted the right domestic mid laner yet, there is really no way, we can only bring up fe from the second team, then in terms of jungler, we have the budget to buy Xiaopeng, Xiaopeng is not expensive at present."

After Su Xiaoluo finished speaking, Liu Shuai asked: "Xiaopeng, that jungler of the SDG?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Shuai nodded.

Although this player's foundation is a little thinner, it can be used as a detonator for Xiao Leyan.

But in the first year, Xiao Leyan and Banana Wolf came to a team, to be honest, Liu Shuai himself didn't have the confidence to take them to win the championship.

Let's not talk about the strength, the old with the old, in fact, it is a test of patience.

Especially with more than two newcomers, it generally takes at least two seasons to bring out the effect.

In other words, if Le Yan and Banana Wolf are really brought up, there is a high probability that the IG of the spring game will not go far.

If it's Gala, Xiaopeng + Kuro, then the whole team is decent.

But IG's negotiations with Kuro were not ideal.

The asking price of the Kuro is 1000W, and the minimum is 900W.

The remaining three million to buy GALA and Xiaopeng is definitely not enough.

And during the German Cup, GALA's wave of wheel mom five kills was worth a little.

He now has a minimum signing fee of two million.

If you want to buy from SDG, you need to start at least 3 million.

From the point of view of price, it is indeed very tight.

"By the way, AD has another candidate, which is the news I got this morning, Wink from RNG."

"However, the asking price of RNG is relatively high, and it is still in the process of being considered."

Liu Shuai nodded: "Isn't there any other option in the market?" ”

Su Xiaoluo shook his head: "After the implementation of the salary cap, those players who play fairly well and are not very valuable are very popular." ”

"To have these five, I still fought for them day and night."

"And in terms of offers, in fact, it can be seen that they are not happy, if it weren't for our IG being the champion team, it is estimated that it would be difficult to contact."

Su Xiaoluo does have a hard time.

In this regard, he is really difficult to do.

There must be trade-offs and trade-offs, and there must be negotiations.

Now many players are fragrant, and he still has to pull his face to negotiate contracts and conditions, which is really not easy.

Liu Shuai also understood, and continued: "Brother Su, if you find it difficult to pick people, I can help you contact a few players who are capable and have the desire to win the championship. ”

Su Xiaoluo's originally troubled face was instantly pleasantly surprised.

He suddenly thought that Liu Shuai is the current courtesan of LPL.

Not only LPL, but also European and American leagues and LCK divisions also know a lot of players.

Their team also has a place for Korean aid, and they can also invite a Korean aid team.

Su Xiaoluo was overjoyed: "Do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Liu Shuai nodded: "If you think it's okay, I'll help you contact, but whether you can negotiate the price depends on Brother Su's ability." ”

Su Xiaoluo looked at Liu Shuai, as if he saw a life-saving straw!

His eyes were full of excitement.

After listening to Liu Shuai's recommendation, he immediately started the transfer process.

First Liu Shuai went to talk, and then Su Xiaoluo went to talk.

Liu Shuai recommended two players, one in one AD, and if he was in the jungle, he finally decided to use Xiao Leyan.

If Liu Shuai is allowed to play with AD and the jungler, it will naturally be more tiring.

And GALA is a rising star.

If you only take Xiao Leyan, at least tell him a trick and a trick, and it can last for a while.

It's good to teach it slowly in the future.

At that time, Ning was also brought up by him.

It's not bad for a little Leyan.

……

January 5th.

Swan Bay Restaurant.

Liu Shuai was greeted by a professional player.

He is not tall, he can be said to be a little short, and he looks very childlike.

The hair is very popular.

He spoke Hunan dialect and said to the handsome in front of him: "Congratulations! Double World Champion Support!

”

Hu Xianzhao teased Liu Shuai.

"Haha, don't make trouble, I'm here to talk to you today."

"I heard that you're leaving EDG, and you're going to sign VG?"

Hu Xianzhao laughed at himself: "Yes, like me, it's good to have a team." ”

Liu Shuai looked at Hu Xianzhao as if his heart had not disappeared since he stopped in the quarterfinals of the S8 World Championship.

The one in front of me is the most promising genius AD in the past!

The operation is very spectacular in the first season of joining EDG!

But later, it was also a disagreement with meiko, and it was unpleasant.

EDG originally wanted to keep Iboy, but Iboy insisted on leaving, so I had to let Iboy go.

"I think it's a pity that you go to VG, do you want to rush for another year?" Liu Shuai tested Hu Xianzhao's thoughts.

If Hu Xianzhao really plans to mess up, then Liu Shuai can't stop it if he wants to.

If he still wants to fight seriously, then Liu Shuai wants to pull him.

After all, the two have known each other since they were in the academy.

"Do you mean to go to IG?" Hu Xianzhao asked unconvinced.

Liu Shuai didn't beat around the bush: "You also know about the salary cap, now our team is very short of strong AD and mid-laner, I am very relieved that you come, and there are also candidates in mid-laner, if you want to fight for another year, just contact our manager Su Xiaoluo." ”

As he spoke, Liu Shuai handed Hu Xianzhao a postcard.

"When you're ready, call him, and then negotiate the salary."

"It's worth, the first season may not be too high, but Brother Su will help you fight for it."

"I think you're very talented, and I don't want to see you reduced to a real-life version of Hurt Zhongyong." Liu Shuai said something very cruel.

Hu Xianzhao seemed to be moved by these words.

He knew very well what he would do if he left it to his knees.

He took a deep breath and said, "I'll think about it." ”

"Okay."

……

January 6th.

A phone call from South Korea came.

Liu Shuai looked at the familiar number and gradually smiled: "Have you thought about it?" ”

On the other side, he said a string of Korean: "Originally, I planned to retire, but now I have decided to join if I can't fight." ”

Liu Shuai smiled: "Then welcome, when do you come to sign the contract, I'll pick you up at the airport." ”

"The day after tomorrow, number eight!"

"Okay, that's not enough!"

……

January 9th.

There are only five days left until the 2019 LPL Spring regular season.

And in this turbulent transfer period, the transfer of the major teams has been settled.

Rookie and Jack were eventually signed by Taobo, a newcomer to the esports industry.

Knight was traded to JDG.

Yagao went to BLG.

Ning was introduced by IG and signed with JDG at a high price.

Knight and Ning, the former YM Nakano became teammates again.

The original RW lineup of the S8 was disbanded.

Doinb joins FPX to complete the final piece of the puzzle.

SMLZ went to SN, Ah Guang chose to retire, and Baolan joined V5.

On the side of the LPL veteran team, RNG introduced the BLG front top laner AJ on the road.

EDG has brought up a youth champion AD - HOPE.

With the exception of IG, all teams in the LPL have released their squads for the spring season.

Only IG has been delayed again and again, and there is no accurate letter until now.

Fans are also disheartened.

Because judging from the current market, it is impossible for IG to find good players.

"Hurry up and put the lineup, I know you're going to mess up/bye-bye"

"I'm convinced, what do you say you're doing with theshy and handsome? Jail your team? Don't theshy and handsome deserve good teammates? ”

"Look at the three out, which team is not the favorite to win the championship!"

"Taobo, RNG, FPX, JDG, can your team be in the top five next year? It seems to be choking enough, and this year's BLG is also quite strong. ”

"To be honest, if you plan to let theshy and handsome bring new talents, I suggest that the summer tournament directly terminate the contract with the two of them, so as not to delay the prime time of other players, okay?"

"I'm really convinced, what did Su Xiaoluo eat, he didn't hurry up to find someone at the beginning of the transfer period, and there was no movement until now, so he was really anxious!"

"Inside information: IG is moving, iboy and a Korean player went to IG for a tryout on the 8th!"

“iboy？ iboy is very good.,There's really no ADC on the market! ”

"Who's the other Korean player? The transfer period on LCK's side has also ended, could it be the academy player of which team? ”

“……”

In the expectation and speculation of the audience, at seven o'clock in the evening on January 9th, IG finally announced the spring roster.

Coach: MAFA

On the road: theshy

Jungler: Leyan

Mid Lane:

ad carry：iboy

Support: Handsome, Killua

As soon as the lineup was announced, the comment area was far more boiling than before.

The first place in the hot comments, Guan Zeyuan came very quickly!

"IG is a ten-year-old fan, uninvited!"

After seeing Guan Zeyuan's comment, many IG fans also played stalks.

"It's okay now, Brother Guan doesn't have to look at IG's face, now he can join if he can't beat it directly."

"To be honest, on top of my expectations, this lineup feels that the spring game can really rush, and it would be better if the jungler could keep Ning."

"This Leyan is killing indiscriminately in LDL, the existence of the wild king, looking forward to this young general!"

"I feel that if IG has a budget, it would be perfect to buy another jungler."

"Killua is really ruthless, he can still stay in IG in this situation, did Principal Wang help him block bullets, why are you so persistent in IG?"

"This lineup depends on the chemistry, I don't think the problem is too big, if iboy can return to the peak level of S7, and Kerry can compete, Leyan tries to play wild core, this IG team does have hope of rushing to the rankings, but if you want to say that you win the spring championship, I think it's very hanging."

"Actually, it's okay, I don't have much budget in my own right, I can buy iboy and Brother Crown, I really signed it because IG has the potential to win the championship, otherwise who wants to come at a price of millions?"

"I originally thought that theshy or handsome were leaving, but even if you Su Xiaoluo had a little conscience, you kept these two traffic stars, we won't discuss what the results will be next season, but the traffic will definitely be full."

"Upstairs buddy, you're pretty good at comforting yourself/Doghead"

Reasonable fans saw this lineup and thought it was pretty good.

Of course, there are also many viewers who think that IG's lineup has no championship appearance at all.

"To be honest, I thought you guys had a big move, but this lineup made me laugh."

“…… To make such a lineup throughout the transfer period? Why? ”

"It's really pulling, but it's still above my expectations, I didn't expect you to be able to put the crown over."

"I can only say that IG will definitely make your management regret letting go of this biggest hero since S4 to the present, Rookie!"

"I'm sorry, but my home team this year is Taobo and JD.com."

“……”

It can be seen that there are also many fans who are not optimistic about IG's lineup this season.

For IG, compared to the S8 championship lineup, there is definitely no way to compare.

But is there really no champion phase?

Obviously not as bad as netizens said.

Brother Guan's strength, after watching Geng's game, is also clear in his heart.

S8 is considered a player who is lifted to the MSI and then to the Worlds.

Originally, the crown wanted to retire in Geng, and he was even ready to say Baybay, but a phone call from Liu Shuai brought him back to life.

Iboy here, he left EDG because he was going to VG to get his salary and live a bad retirement life.

Hearing Liu Shuai's invitation, he gradually gave up the idea of being rotten, and he gradually thought that if he joined IG, he might really have a chance to complete his dream of dreams.

Who doesn't have a dream-chasing heart?
