Chapter 356: Not a Pig Dog, Not a Ginger
Let the star players of the LPL go to Europe to play in the league?
This is naturally impossible!
Now there is a large influx of capital in the domestic e-sports industry, and the salaries of players are no longer tens of thousands a month in the past, and the contract amount of players with a little strength exceeds one million has become commonplace.
In addition, after the end of this year's S7 Finals, the official LPL will carry out the alliance process after entering the S8 season.
There will be three more teams, and there will be more capital pouring into the esports industry.
It is foreseeable that the wages of the players will definitely increase dramatically.
Sending star players to Europe to play professionally?
Unless the unit of the contract is changed from yuan to euros, there will definitely be no player who will go to Europe to play.
There are many reasons for this.
The first is the language barrier.
As the older generation said, the people who play esports are all people who can't read.
At present, the lowest education among LPL players is the posture of the Snake club, kindergarten graduates, do not speak English or English with the local dialect, that is, even Chinese and his vocabulary are lacking to an extremely exaggerated extent.
When he can't think of an adjective, he will use "giant" + elongated intonation to describe it.
If he can't answer, he will pretend to be crazy and stupid and use facial expressions to "interact".
I can't even learn Chinese well.
Still counting on such people to learn English?
That's certainly possible.
If he is allowed to play in the European league, and as a result, he is tyrannized because he can't communicate with the other players on the team, then wouldn't the 'i-state' be super faceless?
This is one of the reasons why LPL professional players go to Europe to play, but it is thankless.
On top of that, there is a huge difference between the team style of play in the LPL region and the Europa League.
To put it simply,
LCK Play Operations.
LPL play point operation + more frequent fights.
The European and American professional leagues have carried out the fight to an extremely exaggerated degree, if the same playback interface as the LPL is used, and then the team name and the name of the player are covered for the LPL audience to see, they will definitely think that two Internet café teams are fighting each other!
You know,
In many cases, it is not only the players who achieve themselves, but also the team that makes the players, and the competition region makes the players.
Throughout the history of the League of Legends league, there is almost no such thing as winning a championship against the version.
Just like Tang Jun's previous life, the S8 World Championship that made countless gambling dogs jump off the rooftop.
Before the Worlds, RNG was the king, they won every event they could, and even the six training matches they played every day before the official opening of the Worlds were complete abuse.
Regardless of whether the opponent is an old opponent in the European and American divisions, LCK or LPL, Casa can chase the opposite jungler in the wild area, and Uzi can use the safe space created by Kasa to continuously suppress the opponent's lower lane, and directly speed up the explosion line.
However, after the change in the Worlds version was gradually noticed by other teams, RNG was subjected to a fierce sanction from G2 in the quarterfinals!
Because in the 2018 Summer Edition, it was actually a mess.
After Banpick is selected, which hero in the team needs to develop quickly to be useful, then the whole team can sacrifice everyone to develop for him, and wait for him to take over the game.
As a result, the bottom lane is full of some strange "unconventional AD heroes" such as the Raven Rock Sparrow Ball Girl.
This strange phenomenon is naturally inconsistent with the concept of Riot Designers' version, so in the second half of the summer competition, the designers continue to make drastic adjustments to the version.
Until the S8 Worlds version, the ecology of the version has changed dramatically, and basically all the branches have become relatively balanced, and there are no heroes who are particularly brainless.
And the failure of RNG, a considerable part of which can be attributed to the fact that the balance came too late!
The Worlds version is just the right balance.
However, RNG used the ultimate "four guarantees and one" tactics to let Uzi take over the game, and tasted the sweetness of the LPL Spring Tournament, MSI, LPL Summer Tournament, Continental Tournament, and even the Asian Games.
Change?
Why change if you can win!
So when it comes to the Worlds, RNG still continues their style of play all year long!
RNG is unique.
This is because there is no other team other than RNG that has developed an effective and long-term global strategy based on the version before the Worlds, from Summer to Worlds.
This is also why the Korean team pulled their hips that year!
Old powerhouses like SKT and Samsung can't even make it to the Worlds!
The teams in the LCK region are facing the whimsical lineup of Europe and the United States, and the strength of the occasional explosion can't parry!
However, after the Worlds version changed, the overall pace slowed down.
RNG's style of play can't be applied anymore.
In the group stage, RNG was able to win easily because other teams did not react and Uzi's strength was at its peak, but after meeting G2 in the quarterfinals, even if the players tried their best on the field, they couldn't win the entire BO5.
It's that simple.
The fittest survive, the unfit die!
Tang Jun doesn't think that there are a few players in the LPL region who can play in the European League and still be able to play their dominance in the LPL!
Of course, in addition to this reason, the most important reason is that the domestic esports market is already big enough!
Going to play in a professional league in Europe may directly lead to domestic fans being attracted by the new stars who were originally LPL star players (such as Wei Shen and Uzi).
"No, Mr. Grace, I think you may have misunderstood what I meant."
"I'm not trying to let superstars like Uzi and Clearlove7 play in professional leagues in Europe, first of all, in terms of cost, it can't be worth it, and secondly, they can't give up the domestic market in China and play professional leagues in Europe where they are not familiar with their lives."
"It's so low value for money!"
"I have a bolder idea!"
Tang Jun's voice was full of bewitchment, and Grace could hear it, but it was precisely because of this that the curiosity in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Do you want your club's players to come to Europe to play in the professional league?"
"GodV or the two rookie players who have done well this season, Thehsy and Ning?"
Obviously, although Grace called himself quickly, this guy definitely knew about the GBG club before calling.
"Nope."
"Neither."
"I'm sure you're curious."
Tang Jun continued to hang the appetite of the old boy Grace and did not speak, and only when he couldn't hold back his heart to ask that Tang Jun spoke: "......"
