Chapter 117 Is Smeb going to ruin Korean e-sports? ! 【Every day is completed! 】
The time is pushed back to three days ago.
KT Club.
"Have you really made your decision?"
Smeb opened the door with a calm expression, and saw KT's coach standing quietly outside the door, looking at him, and said.
"Inside."
Smeb nodded slightly.
He has indeed made up his mind.
For Smeb, the memories of the past will not fade with age, but will turn into stubborn rocks that cannot be shaken off by the waves.
Smeb still remembers many scenes from everyone’s time in ROX.
In the somewhat musty and cramped dormitory, the little peanut on the lower bunk didn't care about the environment at all, and just smiled at him cheerfully.
"We won the championship this year, does that mean ROX doesn't have to disband?"
There was hope on his face, but also uneasiness.
"Probably so. If we win the championship, everyone should be able to continue playing."
Mid laner Kuro had uncertainty on his face, but he still said this.
"SKT is very strong...can we really win?"
ADC player Pray had hesitation on his face and muttered to himself.
But Smeb said this at the time.
"Actually, the five of us got together because we liked the ROX team, not for financial reasons. But after two years of playing like this, if we still can't win the championship, what will happen to everyone?"
"You should all think that we should still make some money, right?"
Smeb's words silenced the atmosphere.
No one knew what to say.
Smeb continued.
"This is a problem that each of our team members have to face, right?"
"If you ask me what will happen if we play together for another year? I think we will play well, and we may still become a strong contender for the world championship, but what's the point?"
This was Smeb's idea at the time.
As he wished, ROX indeed failed to defeat SKT, and the players began to go their separate ways.
After playing the best BO5 with SKT, the team named ROX lost its soul and disappeared.
However, now in S7, Smeb has been haunted by such nightmares.
What he said at the time was correct, but after ROX's story truly ended, Smeb couldn't help but think about it.
"If I hadn't said such depressing words at that time, would it be possible that everyone would have had more confidence?"
"If ROX persists, after we finish S6, will we still have a chance to compete for this year's S7 championship again?"
"Is it because of me that ROX fell apart?"
Every time he closed his eyes, he seemed to hear Little Peanut's questioning.
"Brother Smeb, if we win, we don't have to disband?"
He doesn't know, he really doesn't know.
Every time he thinks about his past in ROX, he can't help but think about it.
Did we ever have hope? Such thoughts kept him from coming out.
This gave him a new obsession:
Defeat SKT!
No matter what method he uses, he must defeat SKT.
It's not to prove anything, Smeb just wants to tell SKT that he must get back what he lost! Although today's KT is also full of big names, everyone's obviously different styles.
Compared to ROX, which used to work together, KT is now more like a mess.
The loss in the spring split really hit Smeb too hard.
"Is that so? I see."
Coach KT was silent and just patted him on the shoulder.
"Jinghao, if you don't like your stay, you can come to see us. Don't cut off contact."
Smeb is not a difficult person to get along with in daily life, and he has a good temper.
He also worked very hard during training, as if something invisible was chasing him, making him never want to stop for a moment.
Also working hard is Deft, both of whom are KT's famous hard-working Saburos.
However, inappropriate is inappropriate.
KT's biggest problem now is not a matter of strength, but that the players cannot reach an agreement, and team battles can easily become disorganized.
Even the coach would find it difficult to come up with any useful solution for such a thing.
After all, a player's style of play is a habit that has been played for a long time.
If you accommodate the team too much, the players will lose their characteristics and themselves.
Perhaps rather than continuing to fight together, separation is the best outcome.
Smeb heard his words, looked at him silently, and nodded.
"I know, thank you, brother."
He took a deep breath and prepared to go out to sign the contract.
We have already contacted EDG. EDG is also very sincere. Abramovich personally flew to South Korea to negotiate the contract.
This also gave Smeb something to look forward to.
"Hey, Jinghao."
Not long after he left, he suddenly heard Coach KT's voice behind him.
Smeb turned his head in confusion and saw Coach KT smiling and waving.
"This time, ROX players will win, right?"
Coach KT spoke softly.
He actually knows everything.
I also know that Smeb has always been worried about this.
ROX, a pure team called Dream, fell at the hands of SKT.
This is an eternal nightmare in Smeb's heart.
Coach KT knew it from the beginning.
Because ROX is also very unique in the entire history of the Korean League of Legends team.
It can even be said to be unique.
Smeb's body trembled slightly, he turned around and bowed deeply to coach KT from a distance.
"Don't worry! You will definitely win this time!"
"Go ahead, Smeb."
“Go live your dreams.”
Coach KT left this sentence.
When Smeb raised his head, there was no one in front of him.
Smeb returned to the dormitory, took one last look at the team uniform with KT. Smeb on it, exhaled, and took it off.
I put on a simple jacket and walked out of KT's club.
Half an hour later, a cafe in South Korea.
Abu is waiting anxiously.
In MSI, it was too difficult for EDG to face SKT in the top lane. Although Aguang could barely withstand it, the top lane was at a disadvantage and it really put a shadow on Abramovich.
MSI did have a good ending, but what about the World Championship?
He can't expect Xu Yuan to still bear this extra pressure in the World Championship, right? Is this fair to Xu Yuan?
Abramovich knows very well that if he wants to look forward to the end of the S-game, he will definitely need reinforcements on the road.
The problem is, strong top laners are not easy to find...
Especially a top laner who can withstand a team like SKT.
Just when he was a little worried, he accidentally received news from the KT club.
KT’s top laner, Smeb!Willing to transfer to EDG!
Abu was instantly ecstatic when he got the news.
Who is Smeb?
S6 ranks first among the top [-] players in the world selected by ESPN!
Even higher than Faker that year.
In a game against G2, Kennen, who was very weak in the early stage, suddenly hit a wave of thunder in the team battle! Domestically, almost all Korean top laners were treated like pigs. In the World Championship, they also played SKT in a BO5 that was hailed as the strongest in history.
Such a player is definitely one of the strongest top laners in the current World Championship.
You can even remove one!
With such a top laner, EDG's tactics will be greatly expanded, and Xu Yuan in the bottom lane will be under much less pressure.
At the same time, facing the top laner of a team like SKT, EDG will no longer be as passive as they were in MSI.
Because Huni does have no pressure to beat A Guang with a single belt, but if you ask Huni to beat Smeb...
It's hard to say who should have the pressure.
The one sweating profusely is probably Huni! Therefore, for Abu, it is necessary to negotiate with Smeb.
EDG is no longer as weak as it was at the beginning of the season, and naturally wants to go further.
The MSI championship has been won.
Looking forward to the World Championships and breaking the curse of the quarterfinals.
This is Abu's ambition.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this meeting, and specifically analyzed with Ed Zhu how critical it was for Smeb to come this time, and obtained very favorable conditions.
But even so, Abu still doesn't have much confidence.
"Sorry, you didn't wait long, did you?"
Suddenly, a Chinese voice came to his ears. Abu raised his head in surprise and saw Smeb in regular clothes and a stranger beside him.
Translate A flash of realization flashed in Abu's eyes. When he stood up, he had a smile on his face and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, player Smeb."
He also brought a translator.
Smeb nodded slightly, and the two sides began negotiations.
Contrary to Abu's expectation, this negotiation went very smoothly, even to the point of going too smoothly.
Smeb only roughly confirmed that the contract was for the top top laner and he readily agreed.
As for the negotiation with the KT club, EDG will also pay the transfer fee, so there is no need to say it, EDG is ready.
This made Abu, who stood up and shook hands after completing the exchange of intentions, look a little dazed.
When did it become so easy to attract players?
"I'm curious, why does player Smeb seem to trust us?"
Abu couldn't help but ask.
"Trust?"
Smeb was stunned for a moment, but nodded.
"Maybe, but I don't trust EDG, I trust Savior."
Savior?
Xu Yuan?
Abu never expected to hear Xu Yuan's ID from Smeb's mouth.
"I want to win the championship, so should EDG, right?"
"I think if we play together with Savior, there may be hope this year."
"This is why I am willing to join EDG."
Smeb had no intention of hiding anything and told Abu very frankly.
"Is that so..."
Looking at Smeb's leaving figure, Abu still felt a little dreamy.
Does Xu Yuan...have this kind of appeal now?
Smeb is a veteran top laner in Korea. Did even such a top laner choose to come to EDG because he wanted to play with Xu Yuan? This kind of thing is really a bit exaggerated for Abu.
In the next three days, EDG actively negotiated with KT, and finally completed Smeb's contract docking before the summer transfer was about to end.
Three days later, as Smeb embarked on the road to LPL with his own peripherals on his back, EDG also promptly announced the news of Smeb's joining on Weibo.
While everyone was still shocked by this shocking news, they immediately announced their summer split roster.
EDG Esports Club: [EDG Esports Club 2017 LPL Summer Split List]
#EDGburn with abandon, life shines# The new season roster of the EDG E-Sports Club League of Legends Division has been announced. In the new season, the team will have new Korean players joining the team.
Head Coach: Top order: .
Top order: Jungler: Jungler: Mid laner: ADCarry: Katsusuke: In the blink of an eye, summer has arrived again, and the 2017 LPL Summer Split is about to begin. All members of the EDG League of Legends division have gathered to show off EDG's storm on the stage of the Summer Split! After experiencing the adjustment and growth in the spring, the new EDG has a different style.
We won this year's MSI championship and brought back a trophy for the LPL.
We hope that this summer, our young EDG players will be able to show a better appearance on the court, and I also wish that every bit of their efforts will yield satisfactory results!
This summer we continue to gather for love and move forward together.
Summer EDG is here! 】
On this Weibo, the first comment was so filial that it exploded.
Like to eat spicy strips:? ? ?Damn it, Dad! Basically all the comments were exclaims.
"Damn it! Did you really mess with Smeb?!"
"Could it be that there is really a chance this year??"
"Abu is awesome! He can pull all this over, huh, huh, huh, huh, that's an exaggeration."
"Guigui, the steady carry Savior, the king of map control, the mid-top player, and the most protective support Meiko! Does our EDG really have a chance??!"
"Fuck! F*ck! F*ck!"
It can be said that if the EDG lineup in the spring looked weak, then now that Xu Yuan has proven himself at MSI, Mingkai's condition has also improved.
With the addition of Smeb, this EDG finally has some championship potential.
Although it is still too early to call the championship, at least the current three-way plus jungle zone no longer has obvious shortcomings like before.
And looking at all the championship teams, there has never been any team with obvious shortcomings.
Because only in this way, the opponent will not be given a breakthrough, and the chance of winning will naturally be higher.
EDG, is it really going to get better?
Before the LCK audience could say anything, the RNG audience started first.
"It's another classic looking for a Korean dad. EDG can't do it without a Korean dad!"
"Indeed, how about winning MSI? I wouldn't dare play in the World Championship without my Korean father!"
"To put it bluntly, this is EDG. They will be a garbage hybrid team for the rest of their lives!"
Although RNG fans have become fans of Xu Yuan as they won MSI.
But there is no conflict between supporting Xu Yuan and criticizing EDG.
However, pig offal is not something to be trifled with.
"Haha, trivia, SHR, the predecessor of RNG, was the first team to introduce Korean players. I don't know what the emperors are barking at."
"Indeed, SHR was cut off because it was renamed RNG? Then don't say you got two S in the future!"
"No problem, RNG has always adopted selective inheritance. You can inherit the honor of the royal family, but you can't inherit the ugliness of the royal family!"
Fans on both sides began to attack each other crazily.
As for saying that after MSI won the championship, I won’t complain about EDG when I come back...
No, does anyone really believe this stuff? Whoever believes it is an idiot.
It’s not even a month yet! And it was at this time that the LCK audience finally reacted.
Xiba, why did Smeb, the dog, go to LPL? Moreover, why go to EDG? ! ! !
Savior is already very difficult to play, but you still want to go to EDG?
"Smeb is the sinner of Dahanming Kingdom. Does he want to destroy Korean e-sports?"
Such a title immediately stirred up waves on Korean websites!
Amid much attention, the LPL Summer Split is about to begin! (End of this chapter)
