Compared with the ups and downs of Samsung's ten sons coming to China last year.

In this year's transfer period, one after another blockbuster news is not inferior.

Although after the avalanche of the S5 World Championship, the teams with high hopes have fallen in the dust, making the reputation of the LPL region fall from a fairy fight to a rookie pecking each other, but the boss behind the club still invested a lot of money, hoping to make achievements in the new season.

On the basis of maintaining the original framework, LGD invited Marin, a top laner from FMVP, to join.

IG bought Rain, a high-scoring passer-by of Hanbok, to make up for AD's shortcomings.

EDG signed IEM10 Cologne champion midlaner Athena.

QG digs up the double runner-up UZI from OMG.

The RNG team that slipped to the brink of relegation again and stumbled and succeeded in relegation found that the original team members were useless, and carried out a full-body blood exchange, introducing the S4 champion top laner Looper, the S4 champion support Mata, and the X ruthless beauty that had beaten UZI and was officially rated as the first AD by Riot, and excavated the fierce Wild Saint Intruder.

OMG, which has changed from a galaxy battleship to a silver box battleship, has found a domestic powerful AD Sima old thief to support the field after the Umbrella Emperor retired and UZI left.

VG, who has always been known for being stupid and rich, held back for nearly a month, and only released news that was enough to cause an earthquake in the industry for the last three days of the transfer period - as the Year of the Monkey is approaching, buy the 'natal player' Easyhoon!

December 24th.

The winter transfer period is over.

The official team roster was announced along with the new format.

The 2016 LPL abolished the win-draw-loss scoring system and changed the small field from BO2 to BO3.

The 12 teams were split into two groups, A and B, with the same team playing a double round-robin confrontation and a different team having a single round-robin confrontation.

The reason for changing the format is simple.

The official gave a direct explanation: I don't know why the LPL division played the worst record since S3 when all the members of Samsung Blue and White were invited and the world's first strength on paper, so simply change the competition system and try the wrong one, anyway, it has fallen to this point, and it is difficult to have room for decline.

Grouping.

The members of Group A are LGD, QG, VG, OMG, WE, HYG

The members of Group B are EDG, IG, Snake, M3, RNG, EPA

The highlights of one side are Imp + Aya Hirano, Brother Crystal + Ella, UZI + Apocalypse, Mystic + Zero, Double Star Romance + Rhythm These lower road showdowns.

On the other side, the highlight is the battle between Pawn + Factory Manager, Easyhoon + Dandy, Rookie + Kakao, Xiaohu + Wild Saint, and Stateless + Fish Ball.

Previously.

The fully staffed LGD team has been relocated to the new base.

Compared to the cool buildings of other clubs, LGD has just rented a duplex villa with no sign on the outside, highlighting the fact that money is spent on a knife edge.

Good thing the facilities inside are quite good.

Push open the door.

The first thing that catches your eye is the giant LGD flag that is hoisting.

The hall has been transformed into a functional area for conference + training, with a 75-inch TV and a small blackboard that act as a monitor on the east side, and a solid wood table and gaming chairs delivered by sponsors on the west side.

In the most corner, there is a luxury water dispenser that provides cold, hot, ice and water purification functions, which gives Lin Bei an epic upgrade.

The upper two floors are the dormitory and the cafeteria.

At the top of the stairs lies a toy tiger cat named Mango, worth tens of thousands.

"Mango, I'm coming!"

"Meow~"

Lin Bei was quite familiar with Mango during this time, and after saying hello, he walked up with his suitcase.

Climb to the middle of the stairs.

Lin Bei suddenly wondered: "Hey, why is there a wreath on the railing, someone is about to enter the ground?" ”

"This is called a garland ......" The white crescent moon was speechless for a while: "Forget it, it's really not good-looking to hear you say this, I'll tear it off later." ”

"Like a wreath." Marin popped out a non-standard Chinese sentence.

"Wreath." Imp the fat mouse repeated.

"Hahahahaha-"

"Hahahaha-"

"GodTM wreath."

"You two can learn some words from the sun."

The rest of the LGD team burst into laughter.

Although Marin is still more than two months away from entering the age of 25, which is an out-and-out twilight of e-sports, he burst out with great enthusiasm stimulated by the FMVP of the S5 season and the annual salary of 1.4 billion won, and just came to LGD to find a Chinese teacher at his own expense.

Imp felt that the defeat in the group stage had a lot to do with the language barrier, and he mastered some vocabulary used in daily communication with Marin, which was a big improvement from the previous communication with only signals and English words.

LGD during this time period, the atmosphere in the team has never been more harmonious.

Everyone is trying to climb to the top of the world.

In terms of dormitory allocation.

Normally, AD assists together, and mid-singles junglers together.

But considering that Marin may not be able to adapt to being away from home, and taking Imp to learn Chinese, White Crescent temporarily arranged Imp and Marin into the same room.

Wei Shen and spicy incense pot in one room.

Eimy and Funny in a room.

Lin Bei's roommate is assistant Aya Hirano, who is also the captain and conductor of LGD.

Put away your clothes.

Make your bed.

Everyone went to the cafeteria on the third floor for lunch.

The cooking skills of the LGD Club are quite good, and there are six meat dishes on the table: spicy chicken, braised fish, sweet and sour shrimp, hot kidney flower, bamboo shoot bacon, and shredded eel with oil and oil, as well as a plate of scrambled eggs with fungus and a plate of cold belly shreds.

"Take a break after eating."

"Five training matches with EDG at 2 p.m."

The white crescent moon made arrangements while eating: "We are not in the same group as EDG, and we only play once on February 18th in the regular season, so you don't need to keep it when you play with them, just take out what you are best at." ”

"Understood." Wei Shen rubbed his hands.

The entanglement between LGD and EDG dates back to the summer of 2014.

At that time, the young LGD team finished fourth in the regular season, but was swept out of the playoffs by EDG 3-0 and missed the S4 Finals.

At the National E-sports Open in the same year, LGD was hammered by EDG again.

In the 2015 spring finals, LGD still lost to the EDG team.

Although EDG returned a 3-0 in the summer semifinals, LGD is clearly at a disadvantage in terms of overall record.

In the new season, LGD's first goal is the world championship.

The second goal is to get revenge on EDG.

However.

What the White Crescent and LGD teams didn't expect was this.

With the new FMVP top laner, S4 champion AD, and LPL top mid laner Wei Shen, LGD and EDG lost four of the five training matches.

In addition to the spicy incense pot with the prince to seize the summoner's skill CD and sell his life to start a group + Marin Rambo burned the company camp and melted EDG double C, LGD had almost no power to fight back, and the two junglers took turns to control the variables to no avail.

What's even more outrageous is that in the next two days, LGD also lost the training match with IG and Snake.

If it is lost to the lack of tacit understanding between Marin who has just joined the team, or the spicy incense pot, and Eimy's lack of experience soon after his debut, it is not a big deal - it is normal for newcomers to need to hone and new teams to run-in, and it is such a thing as being invincible when a strong player is put together in a team, and no one has dared to have the same dream since the sinking of the OMG Galaxy Battleship.

But.

Marin is worthy of the honor of being a single on FMVP, even if it is regarded as a shortcoming, there is no mistake in the line, and the team has a near-upper limit of play.

Eimy is very obedient, and although the wild area is a little disadvantaged, it is harmless.

Not to mention the spicy fragrant pot.

When he was in the King team, the spicy pot showed outstanding strength, except for the top teams in the LPL, the strength of the spicy pot can be used as the core of the team.

The Imp and Aya Hirano pair of the bottom lane are the same as before, they are fierce and steady, and the output and control are in place.

The biggest problem is in the middle.

A few months ago, Wei Shen, who was still at the 'Heavenless' level, was inexplicably sleepwalking.

Not to mention fighting against the old rival 'Buddha' Pawn, even in the face of the U god who was reincarnated as a metabolic product by IG's Kakao and sent by Rookie and Snake, they are at a disadvantage.

"Why is this happening......

The white crescent moon sat in the office, very distressed.

It's true that Wei Shen has a bad mentality.

Swelling is also true.

can't talk about character flaws, just a simple child's heart.

- Wei Shen, who was born in July 97, has just turned 18 years old, and he naturally can't mature much.

But when it comes to training attitude, Wei Shen is absolutely fine.

Because Wei Shen is very competitive, he thinks that he is not inferior to any opponent, and if he does not perform well, he will take the initiative to practice until he is satisfied, and even pull his teammates to practice together.

Playing Heavenly Sword before the World Championship is actually a rest day and not a training match, so you can relax after playing Rank.

After all, before the introduction of automatic filling, the high-segment first row was a ten-minute start, and half an hour of queuing time was not uncommon, and no player could sit and wait.

The main reason why Wei Shen was sprayed was that LGD was out of the round of 16 + reverse Q was too eye-catching.

Plainly.

If you lose the game, it's wrong to even breathe.

If LGD can win in the end, Wei Shen will not only not be sprayed when he plays the heavenly sword, but will be praised with a sentence of 'talented'.

But.

No matter how serious Wei Shen's training attitude is, it can't change the fact that he didn't play well.

What's more important is that, judging from the historical record, Wei Shen is a talented player, but not a big competition-type player, and the situation of on-the-spot explosion has almost never happened.

I can't beat other mid laners in the training match, and I'm afraid it won't change much when it comes to the official game.

"Prepare for both."

Manager Lao Yang said something unspeakable for the white crescent: "This month, more substitutes will be arranged to play training matches, and if the spring game is not good, try to rotate; Last spring, Wei Shen played averagely, and it wasn't until the summer that he got back in shape, and this year it may still be like that. ”

"Good!" White Crescent was relieved: "Then I'll make an appointment with the lower-ranked team first, and let Funny, Eimy, and Lin Bei go together, so as not to think too much about Wei Shen." ”

"That's it." Lao Yang clapped: "Anyway, there is still more than a month to go, let's try permutations and combinations!" ”
