Chapter 549: Businessmen also get angry
No matter how happy RNG is, it cannot change the outcome of the fifth training match.
Peak Letme is equality for all.
But Xing Dao is the "All Are Equal Plus" version, and he is far superior to Letme in all aspects.
Bottom lane.
A Shui is slightly worse than UZI.
Meiko is a little better than Xiao Ming.
When combined together, they just form a balance of power.
Xiye changed from Xiaohu's designated R... cough cough cough, to a designated power bank, to a character who could share the same power with Xiaohu, and who could occasionally make a surprise attack, which made RNG very sad.
In less than twenty minutes, the winner was clear.
The RNG players took the initiative to type GG and exited the game first.
EDG also typed GG.
Press ALT + F4 to exit without leaving any trace.
Then start reviewing using the pre-recorded video.
For a professional team, especially a mature professional team like EDG, replacing a mid laner is definitely not a simple local change.
It is a major overall revision.
At this point, some people may not understand.
The original system is there.
The top laner continues to carry, the bottom lane continues to develop, and the mid laner can just choose a hero that is suitable for teamfighting, right?
Nowadays, Xiye is among the top four in the LPL region no matter how you look at it, and he may not be the fourth mid laner. Could he be worse than the old-fashioned Zizi?
Actually, it is not.
LPL and LCK are different.
The fit of the LCK region is actually more inclined to polish.
It means ignoring the players' styles and forcibly cutting out things other than the team's needs.
For example, when Peanut joined SKT, he was forced to transform from the most ferocious carnivorous jungler to a herbivorous one, and was suppressed to the point of losing all his spirituality.
After joining KZ, things have changed a lot and the team no longer has the arrogant strength it had during its peak period.
The reason for doing this is that the LCK region has a complete e-sports system, and the coaches and logistics departments are more professional. They can always gain the upper hand at the Ban/Pick level and come up with effective tactical designs that can win the game by following the process.
Even if one player is eliminated, positive benefits can be gained.
LPL can't do this.
It must rely on the individual abilities of the players.
If EDG lets Xiye do nothing during the laning phase, focusing only on developing, and not taking action when seeing an opportunity, Xiye's threat will be reduced to the extreme.
And then be bullied by the other side.
And because they are not able to adapt to the situation, their overall combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
The performance in the early and middle stages may be worse than the posture of adapting to the disadvantages.
There is even a risk of 'falling behind'.
EDG bought Xiye, of course not to turn Xiye into a loser or even a useless person, but to hope that Xiye's joining can enable EDG to regain the world's top paper strength.
This requires treating Xiye as the previous Scout.
It may not be the tactical core.
You can use a mixed field hero.
But he cannot let Xiye have the option of countering and he dare not take it, and he dare not fight a fight where there is a high probability of winning.
To put it bluntly, the team needs to make new allocations based on the current situation.
When to go to the top lane, when to protect the middle lane, and when to gank the bottom lane all require different considerations based on actual conditions.
Two days later.
Cryin also rushed over from his hometown.
The reason for being a little late is that Cryin went back to visit his relatives after finalizing the contract with EDG.
Anyway, EDG's first game of the summer season is scheduled for June 17th.
There is still more than half a month.
And even if Xiye is not bought, Cryin will be a substitute for Zzitai, so he won't lose these few days of training time.
The mid laner is done.
Jungle...
"There's really no way to play in the wild."
Abu sat in Ed Zhu's office and sighed, "The summer season is coming soon. Any jungler with some ability is not for sale. RNG has Spicy Pot and Kasra in their hands and is unwilling to release either of them."
"Well...it's a bit troublesome." Ed Zhu frowned.
Ed Zhu is not the kind of boss who has the title of "stupid people with a lot of money, come quickly".
He is essentially a businessman.
And he has a considerable understanding of the e-sports industry.
EDG is also the only that can achieve independent profitability.
He paid a sky-high price to retain Xing Dao, and also offered a big contract to buy Xiye. The former was based on a series of benefits such as advertising sponsorship, and the latter was a gamble made with a certain degree of certainty.
It would be inappropriate to pay a premium of one or two times to buy a mid-level jungler.
After all, the factory manager is not so old that he cannot move at all.
Even if one's personal strength has fallen to the second tier, one can still rely on experience and the tacit understanding developed over a long period of time to perform as well as first-tier players in some aspects.
For EDG.
Only by buying one of the four people, Mala Xiangguo, Kasra, Sofm, and Ning, can you get the upgrade.
Buying other players will basically have no positive effect.
Sofm definitely couldn’t be bought... The Snake team didn’t even have a substitute, so they sold Sofm and just packed up and left with a 0-19 loss.
Ning doesn't even need to think about it... IG won 18 games in a row in the spring regular season, but was relegated to fourth place due to The shy's injury. They are holding their breath and want to make a comeback in the summer season.
If RNG doesn't let go of its players, there will be no possibility for EDG to strengthen its team.
"But it's not a big problem."
A-bu changed the subject: "Zhao Lijie (Jiejie) performed well in the training match and will be able to play in August. We should play well in the first half of the regular season and let him try a few more games."
"You know, I'm thinking about the S game." Edward Zhu spread out his left hand and made a virtual grabbing gesture.
"What should we do then..." Abu followed suit and spread out his hands.
"Forget it." Ed Zhu's left hand was suspended in the air, a little embarrassed, and he simply scratched his hair: "How is Xing Dao's recent condition? The designer wants to change things for him again. Will the impact be particularly big?"
"Uh..." Abu's expression was a little strange: "Xing Dao has been in good condition. Regarding the news about the rework of Conqueror and Sword Demon, he said... According to the rework records of other heroes, Conqueror and Sword Demon should be stronger than before."
"I hope so." Ed Zhu thought for a moment and laughed, "I am still a little worried. With Xiye, the team is already strong enough. If we can achieve results, we will celebrate. If we can't, there is nothing we can do."
"We will achieve results !" Abu vowed: "We won even in the most difficult times. Now we have a much better chance than in S6."
"That's right." Ed Zhu nodded: "Are there any changes in other teams?"
"The strong teams all have the original lineup, only RW's support was replaced by Hirano Aya." Abu investigated very clearly: "The previous coach of LZ joined IG, WE's Ben tried out for Snake but failed, OMG had a jungler tryout for the S game and stayed, but it's not clear who it is yet."
"None of this matters." Edward Zhu half-lay back in his chair, squinting his eyes and tapping the table with his middle finger.
The sound of "dong dong dong" was heard more than ten times.
Edward Zhu exerted force on his waist and sat up again: "I remembered something and I want to protest. We can't let Roit target Xing Dao anymore... Every champion before didn't play anything and just cut it. They are going too far!"
"I'll go talk to the person in charge of Teng Jing."
"Killing people is not enough, damn it, there is no end to it!"
