Chapter 348: The battle for LPL seats, picking on the weak

Under the flowers, the other resurrection armor position was taken by Blue Rain.

Although Blue Rain's reinforcement and transformation efforts in the spring season are not as strong as those of the other two teams, they have only strengthened one team, 957, who is currently considered the second-tier team in the league and is even slightly weaker than Lou Guanning.

But their compatibility with the version is there.

In a version that focuses on vision control and global operations, and where the jungler's influence on the game has increased again, Blue Rain has the strongest jungler and support combination with the best chemistry in the entire league.

Huang Shaotian is having a really good time in this version.

He is able to both set the pace and play the jungler role well. His only regret in the summer season is that after the official rules were improved, he could no longer trash talk the opponent on the public screen.

Otherwise, the audience would probably be able to see overwhelming recruitment of disciples, easy and manual transfers in every Blue Rain game.

In addition to the strength of the jungler and support, Blue Rain's strength in all three lanes has also seen a slight increase.

After a season of polishing, the young people should also show some growth.

Thanks to the extremely high degree of compatibility with the version, Blue Rain's summer season journey can be said to be smooth sailing, and at one point it threatened the first place in the Blossom Alliance.

But after that incident, the fighting spirit of the Fanhua generals was aroused to 120%, and they just wanted to see who was jealous of whom.

In addition, Zhang Jiale had an outburst that day, and the barrel of the gun shot by Lucian, who was holding his champion skin, became hot, which allowed him to get through the crisis and maintain his position as the number one in the league.

But in general, it is generally believed that Blue Rain is undoubtedly the team most qualified to compete with Fanhua.

Under the blue rain, Xingxin suffered a little bit.

Since the start of the summer season, they have relied on Qiao Yifan's transfer of command to liberate Ye Xiu, allowing Ye Xiu to finally surpass Chu Yunxiu in all aspects this summer and become the top mid laner in LPL.

But apart from Ye Xiu, they still faced many problems, big or small.

The first thing is to hit the road.

The spring playoffs and MSI's daily Fiora, Noxus, and Riven have made the audience somewhat tired of the show.

So when the summer season came, the warrior heroes received a certain degree of callback. Although they still maintained good competitiveness, they were not as unstoppable as before.

The current top lane is in a state with relatively more variety.

The tank heroes that were previously locked in the sewers have regained their eligibility to play, and heroes like Fiora and Gangplank are no longer unable to play.

There are also new faces such as Ekko and Lily, who have rarely appeared in the top lane of the game before, and have also become candidates.

Coupled with the increase in the intensity of operations and vision control, the price Tang Rou has to pay if she wants to be as mindless and vicious as before is quite high.

Although she did practice more tank top lane, her current proficiency in heroes like Maokai and Poppy is almost at the same level as first-line top laners.

But this still cannot change the fact that she has become the favorite top laner for all junglers who have fallen in love with eating meat.

The lack of consideration in the version, coupled with the frequent visits of the opponent's jungler, made it impossible for Tang Rou to bully the top laners such as Shengqiang and Lou Guanning by herself like she did before.

In addition to the slight decline in dominance in the top lane as the version changed, Baozi, not surprisingly, became a not-so-small breakthrough for Xingxin.

Although Baozi has been practicing with Mingkai for quite a while and has made considerable progress, he is no longer a pure psychopath like before.

But relying only on these, it is really a bit difficult for him to fight with first-line junglers such as Huang Shaotian and Li Hua in the wild area.

Mo Fan's pure strength is slightly closer to Baozi, but he has the morale bonus of the championship team, and he is good at jungle core and fits the version very well, so he can also suppress Baozi.

In a version where the jungler's weight is not low, it is not surprising that the jungler was silenced first and Xingxin struggled in the dialogue between strong opponents.

In addition, another important reason why Xingxin’s regular season record was not so good was that they increased the intensity of the bottom lane rotation.

In the spring season, Yu Wenbo basically only played in some unimportant matches, and Su Mucheng played most of the games.

But in the summer season, his playing frequency began to increase significantly.

It is obvious that Yu Wenbo is not a player like Su Mucheng who can maintain Xingxin's bottom line.

Especially when Qiao Yifan needs to control vision or cooperate with Baozi, leaving him alone in the bottom lane,
The probability of something going wrong is quite high.

Yu Wenbo's instability also caused the probability of Xingxin's failure to increase sharply.

The fans were of course angry, but when they thought about Xingxin's future, they could only force themselves to be patient and wait for Jack to grow.

No matter how stable Su Mucheng's performance is, she is already 24 years old. Like Ye Xiu, she is a well-aged player.

After Ye Xiu retires, he still has Qiu Fei to rely on.

After Qiu Fei and his Jia Shi team landed in the LCS, the foreign stereotype of "LPL is invincible" was further deepened.

A team from LSPL is killing everyone in the LCS. There are no more than three teams in the entire LCS that can fight with them.

The top two spots in LCS have been secured.

When he returns from North America, it would be quite reliable for him to inherit Ye Xiu's position.

However, Excellent Era's bottom lane combination, consisting of two young players from the Glory era, is not as strong as their top, mid and jungle players, and is often used as a breakthrough point by top North American AD players such as Doublelift.

In this way, after Su Mucheng retires, it seems that only Yu Wenbo will have the opportunity to take the lead.

In addition, Yu Wenbo's appearance was also an attempt by Xingxin to diversify its tactics.

Compared to the more stable Su Mucheng, Jack is a bit nervous, but he is more likely to be the singularity that breaks the deadlock.

Therefore, even if the increase in Jack's appearances inevitably caused Xingxin's performance to fluctuate, for the sake of the future, they could only be patient.

Well, just play one more round, just treat it as a warm-up.

Compared to the spring season, the Big Three in the summer season created a new pattern.

But no matter what, the top three positions are still firmly occupied by them.

The strength between them and other teams is not a huge gap, but at least they can win without any reckless efforts.

The subsequent competition became fierce.

After Fanhua won the MSi championship, LPL got the fourth spot in the S game.

And this quota does not need to face competitive pressure from the three major families.

Therefore, in order to get a place in the playoffs and have a chance to compete for the last train to the S game, the other teams are naturally scrambling for it.

With teams ranked 4-8 still having a theoretical chance to make the playoffs, the final few rounds of the regular season are bound to be filled with bloody battles.

However, compared to their promising future, some teams have already started to worry about their future in advance.

For example, the relegation match that has already been confirmed. "You mean, we are already confirmed to play against the champion and runner-up of LSPL?"

The boss of the Magic Team, base, looked a little unhappy.

"Based on the current results...it's like this." The manager didn't dare to look at the boss and said timidly.

In my heart, I secretly cursed those bastards for being so useless.

The Magic Team, a team that is as magical as its name.

In the original timeline, as a team that joined the league by purchasing a seat in the tenth season, they did well in a sense.

They took advantage of the dissolution of Excellent Era and poached three of Excellent Era's veteran players. With this move, plus the good team chemistry, they were able to secure a mid-tier spot in the Glory League.

But in today's timeline, their trajectories are a little different.

On the one hand, since Honor of Kings was ruined in the ninth season, Shenqi had no intention of entering Honor of Kings from the beginning, but instead set its sights on a seat in the LPL.

Although the players who were supposed to play for Magical Era were mostly taken up by Xuanqi and other teams that were ahead of them,

But because they saved a seat fee, the Magic Team was a little more generous and still recruited two players who could rotate in Glory, allowing the team to get a spot in the LPL.

However, after arriving in the LPL, the little competitiveness they have left is not worth mentioning.

In the spring season, Miracle ranked eleventh in the league, a standard relegation team.

The spring season is over. Although there is a huge influx of capital into LPL, Shenqi has also successfully obtained a lot of capital investment and is qualified to spend a lot of money to poach players.

But it has to be said that some people are naturally petty.

As a team that in the original timeline had to bargain for the transfer fee of Wang Zeshen Jian down to thousands of dollars, their pettiness almost unsurprisingly disgusted those players they originally had a chance to recruit.

For example, in the original timeline, the magical Wang Ze and his current supporting partner, Zhang Jiaxing, would have joined.

As two members of the Excellent Era rebel group that joined forces to drive Ye Xiu away, it's unlikely that you would say that these two have no ambitions.

Although Xuanqi's future performance is promising, in terms of status within the team, coach Zhang Yiwei is definitely number one, followed by All-Star level Li Hua and quasi-All-Star Song Xiao. Wang Ze and others are basically considered younger brothers.

In addition, although Xuanqi made it to the playoffs in the spring season, it ultimately only stopped in the semi-finals. The management only strengthened the team with a youth training midfielder, which seemed a bit like inaction and caused some unpleasantness.

In addition, after the spring season, the value of Xuanqi players, especially the mid- and low-level players, skyrocketed, making it a little difficult for Xuanqi officials to renew their contracts.

So, when the Magic Team came quietly to them and persuaded them to join Magic and achieve great things by taking the position of core member of the team.

For a moment, Xuanqi's bottom lane group really put some thought into it.

But soon, this thought was suppressed by the magical management's subsequent actions.

Seeing that the two seemed to have some unusual movements, the magical person was overjoyed, and patted his chest and said that we have prepared sufficient budget, which can definitely match your worth.

Then he handed the two of them a net worth assessment.

Wang Ze and Zhang Jiaxing took a look and were surprised:
Although this amount is indeed similar to the overall value of the two players, in theory as long as they cooperate, their transfer can be completed.

But the problem is that this total number, which is almost close to eight digits, is actually accurate to the hundredth place.

That’s right, the hundreds digit, and it’s not a purely auspicious number like “66600” or “88800”.

No, isn’t it just a few hundred or a few thousand dollars?

Are you guys so fussy about this?
Looking at this extremely calculated valuation, Wang Ze and Zhang Jiaxing waved their hands without even thinking:

We are having a great time in Xuanqi and are preparing to secure a spot in the World Championship. You should look for someone else.

After several consecutive attempts to poach players with similar results, the Magic Team will still play the summer season with the old lineup.

In addition to their mid laner, He Ming, the only main player they dug out from the Excellent Era lineup, who has a certain combat effectiveness,

The other few positions are almost pure blunders.

Originally, there was a demoralized LGM at the bottom of the table, but they could still fight for a spot in the relegation match.

But after becoming famous in the battle of Fafanhua, LGM's performance has been improving since then, and now it is competing with strong teams for a place in the playoffs.

Miraculously, Nature is back in the relegation race again.

At present, their record, even if they win all the regular season games, will not be able to earn them a tenth place.

Combining their results in spring and summer, they are destined to compete for a spot in the relegation match and LSPL.

"Look at you guys. What can I say to you? I gave you so much money, just to embarrass you by playing in the relegation match?"

Sure enough, after listening to the report, the magical boss scolded him.

Naturally, the manager didn't dare to talk back and could only listen obediently.

After scolding for a while, the boss finally turned the topic back to the most urgent matter: "What should we do now?"

"We can only prepare well for the relegation match." The manager sighed.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is this relegation match all about?" The magical boss is a typical local rich man who doesn't care about the game but only focuses on the results.

"To put it simply, the last two teams in the spring and summer LPL combined record will compete with the champion and runner-up of the LSPL for two LPL spots."

"What's the level of those two teams in the LSPL? They're in the secondary league, so they should be easy to beat, right?"

The manager quickly began to read out the information he had investigated.

"The team that won the runner-up this time is called YM. The players in all five positions are quite strong and have been poached by many LPL teams."

"The champion team... is called BT. They must be very strong to win the championship, with the jungler and AD players as the core."

“But for some reason, no LPL team has ever targeted them.” The manager felt a little uncertain thinking about it.

It was only after it was confirmed that he would play in the relegation match that he started to study the opponents in the LSPL as a last-minute effort.

As for LSPL, his impression of it still remains at the time when Excellent Era went overseas.

As for the tricks between the former Glory Clubs, they hadn't studied them at all.

The boss himself was also an outsider, and when he heard that BT didn't even want the LPL players, he immediately felt relieved.

He immediately decided: "Okay, then take a position that can fight against that BT!"
