Su Can almost watched the entire S9 spring game from the beginning.
It was similar to what I remembered. In the end, IG won the spring championship.
The opponent in the final is JD.com.
There seems to be no suspense in the entire final. The JD team is still more afraid of IG.
The main point is the Duke on the top lane. A dozen domestic top laners are pretty good.
It's obviously unbearable to play against Korea's top top laner.
RNG's strength has obviously declined this year, and another hidden boss, FPX Spring Split, has not yet established himself.
To really get stronger, you have to wait until the summer split.
To put it bluntly, it often depends on the version.
IG's victory in winning this championship is considered as everyone expected, and it basically meets everyone's expectations.
After all, the title of world runner-up is placed here, and the strength is still very strong.
After EDG disbanded, they were the strongest fighting force in the LPL.
Unexpectedly, IG has been a veteran team for so many years, and this championship turned out to be their first LPL championship.
After winning this championship, IG's popularity has obviously improved.
Su Can was quite happy to see this result.
If it weren't for his arrival, his popularity would have taken off after he won the championship last year.
If MSI wins another championship, it will definitely gain a lot of attention. There is no suspense about this.
What makes Su Can feel a little doubtful is how well they can perform in MSI this time.
In terms of strength, there shouldn't be any problem. South Korea's spring championship SKT is really in trouble.
Koreans still thought that their failure in the World Championship last year was entirely because SKT did not participate in the World Championship.
There are too many SKT fans over there, and it’s almost the same argument. I feel that in foreign games, we have to watch SKT.
What they don't know is that since the MSI in S7, SKT has never won a World Series championship.
Another threat is G2, who are the champions of S9MSI in parallel time and space.
Of course, this is thanks to the North American good brother TL who defeated IG. If they meet IG in the finals, they will probably not be able to beat them.
However, they also defeated SKT, and there is still gold in them. This champion really cannot be said to be superficial.
Su Can just wanted to see if IG would overturn this year.
Su Can thinks it shouldn't be the case.
In terms of strength, TL is not very impressive.
One of the reasons why IG lost that year was because it was indeed inflated. At that time, they played very well in the group stage, and even any dog in the jungle could win. That was what I said at that time.
Let's not talk about respecting the opponent or not when he said this. It can be seen that it was really casual.
Another problem is that the auxiliary position is arrested by the opposite side.
In that Bo5, it can be said that Suangfeng was outplayed by the opponent, and the matchup gap was a bit big.
Now that IG has no championship, Su Can is still optimistic about them.
Su Can was watching the entire MSI and even gave second-hand commentary during the live broadcast.
The sermon understands that the IG game is much more comfortable.
They won all the way in the group stage and even played a classic 1557 against SKT.
After that game, it was really good enough to break the defense for a long time.
The numbers on that side of the stick were going to be hot for the next few years.
The more fans SKT has, the more anti-fans it means. If people want to take offense, they will often use this as an argument.
If nothing else, it will be difficult to break this game time record in the World Series.
In the final group stage, IG lost one game, and lost to SKT in the last game. The two teams met directly 1:1, which was considered a tie.
But IG won every game except this one, and SKT also lost to other teams.
There is a gap in record, so regardless of the relationship between victory and defeat, IG directly won the first place in the group.
It is precisely because this game has nothing to do with ranking, and even if you lose, you will still be ranked first in the group, so after IG lost, no one held a meeting, but everyone was very happy.
Didn't take this game seriously.
It's a bit regretful that we couldn't win the entire group like EDG did last year.
But this is not important. To be able to play like this in the group stage is really like a championship.
Now if you ask any team, they will say that IG is the favorite to win the championship.
Only Su Can felt something was wrong after seeing the end of the group stage.
Why is this plot almost the same as before?
I can't say they are very similar, I can only say they are exactly the same.
Basically all the details in Su Can's memory happened.
After this whole situation, Su Can was no longer confident.
MSI's group number one is actually not very useful, it's just a priority to select opponents.
To put it bluntly, there are only four teams in total, which is pretty much the same, and it’s not a particularly big advantage.
There is no surprise, IG must have chosen TL who looks the best.
This is a normal operation. If you don't choose this way, everyone will probably be scolded.
Before this, Su Can really wanted to say that he should just choose another team.
Apart from the EDG team, Su Can didn't have many acquaintances in the circle, but the few from IG could count.
After all, we went out to have fun together after the finals last year, and we all became friends with King Ning that night.
He also has Su Xiaoluo's friends.
If it really doesn't work, you can send a message and ask them to choose another team.
But Su Can thought about it and decided to forget it. If he really wanted to force himself to choose something else, he wouldn't be able to turn around and he might have to take the blame.
The team's affairs have little to do with Su Can, so it would be a bad idea to meddle in this matter rashly.
To put it bluntly, even if Su Can really goes and talks, people may not necessarily agree, but it will feel a bit baffling.
The reason why IG chose this team was not only that TL seemed to be the best, but also partly because they wanted G2 to play SKT.
If they play against G2, IG won't have any pressure, but G2 will have some say when playing against LCK.
In the group stage, they defeated SKT and looked very promising.
If IG really wants to play SKT, they actually don't have much confidence that they can win.
Don't look at the 1557 score in the first match, it seems that the gap is very big.
In fact, that game also had something to do with the lineup.
When we played against each other for the second time and everyone had a serious lineup, IG didn't beat anyone, and it didn't look good.
So IG also has some ideas. I feel that it is best if SKT can be killed by G2.
It is possible to win if you fight by yourself, but the probability is not very high.
The advantage of being first in the group is completely wasted if you don't use it.
Su Can decided not to say anything, but just took a look.
On the day of the competition, when Su Can saw that he lost the first round, he knew it was almost over.
Nothing has changed from the parallel world, IG will eventually overturn.
I failed to seize a good opportunity to increase my popularity and was criticized directly after the game.
Fortunately, I'm not a world champion, so I don't spray that hard.
It's just that losing to North America is somewhat unacceptable to everyone. Logically speaking, North America should be considered the worst except for the wild cards.
It would be understandable if they lost to Europe. After all, Europe's strength has been rising in the past two years.
Fortunately, G2 also successfully defeated SKT the next day. Everyone felt much better when they saw that SKT was gone.
It doesn’t matter if we in the LPL can’t win this championship, as long as it’s not from the LCK.
Does it matter if you get it in Europe or North America? Of course it doesn't.
These two divisions themselves do not pose much of a threat, and it is rare to win a championship.
From a game development perspective, it is also a good thing for them to win the championship once.
As a fan or former member of the LPL, Su Can is still feeling very miserable.
After the main defeat, a lot of people were there to miss him.
"It turns out that it's not LPL that's strong, but Su Can."
"Su Can's presence has made us accustomed to winning the World Championships all the time."
"..."
Just by looking at the titles of these posts, you can tell that they are very offensive.
Although it was Su Can who was bragging, Su Can couldn't stand it himself.
Everyone has retired, but they are still calling for ghosts here.
And it’s just an MSI, so there’s really no need for it.
Judging from this trend, the LPL will not win this year's World Championship again.
So there is no need to rush, just wait until the summer split to watch.
Compared with the World Championship, MSI is really nothing.
If you ask someone to exchange three MSIs for one world champion, it is absolutely impossible to do so.
Su Can was not idle either. After the game, he was called by the factory director to join the team again.
Thinking about how he was photographed even though he was careful last time, Su Can was much more casual this time.
Go if you have to. Anyway, people talk about his comeback every day, but now everyone doesn't believe it.
When Su Can came, he discovered that the tree outside had been specially treated.
It wouldn't be a problem if you cut it down directly, but in this situation, it's difficult to take pictures even if you climb up. The last incident has taught us a lesson.
The factory director called Su Can over today mainly to discuss the lineup.
To put it bluntly, this year is only halfway through, and the summer split hasn’t started yet.
If we really want to talk about its importance, we have to look at the summer split.
As the championship team, EDG was also a well-established and wealthy team in the LPL before this championship.
If you want to talk about team time, there are indeed some who are older than him.
But if you want to talk about honor, no one can really touch it.
Although the foreign competitions were rubbish before, everyone was rubbish and no one could win the world championship.
If it is really better than the domestic champion, who should EDG be afraid of?
What's more, the MSI championship in the first year is still in hand.
After playing last year, it established the position of the first club in the LPL.
It will be difficult for any team to surpass it within a few years.
Not only the fans were dissatisfied with the way the Spring Split ended, but the team owners were also dissatisfied.
Ed Zhu has already given the order to buy me people for the summer split. We can no longer do what we did before.
This year's results will also affect sponsorship to a great extent.
After Su Can leaves, no matter how bad your performance is, your sponsors will not give you money in vain. To put it bluntly, how much is the championship worth?
Besides, the team is not without money. The money spent on this lineup is really not much.
Although the remaining three champion members have all had their salaries increased, to put it bluntly, their salaries are not too high.
Haro and Iboy are obviously not good enough and cannot reach the level of top players, so it is impossible to give such a high price.
Tian Ye is considered worthy, but the salary for the auxiliary position cannot be too high.
At present, it is only a few million a year.
Needless to say, the top two and the middle two together don’t even have a million dollars a year.
There is no shortage of money, but it is difficult to buy people now.
Last year's transfer period lasted so long that we couldn't find a strong mid laner. It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to find one after the spring split.
That's why the factory director called Su Can over to discuss it.
In addition to his gaming skills, Su Can's level of judgment is recognized by the factory director.
Su Can also knew that if he wanted to sign someone during the summer split, he wouldn't be signing a free agent.
To put it bluntly, those who don’t have a job now can basically be buried and have no value.
If they were really capable, they would have asked for it a long time ago, unless they were stuck in a contract and there was no other way.
If you really want to buy it, then you can only negotiate with other teams and offer some transfer fees or something.
This is not possible if you go to a big club. To put it bluntly, they are not short of money and want to achieve results, so they cannot sell people to you.
Unless you pay a sky-high price, EDG is obviously not taking advantage of them.
After Su Can came over, the factory director gave a list of some players, all in the mid lane position.
After taking a closer look, there were IDs that Su Can recognized and others that were unfamiliar to him.
Basically, you don’t need to look at unfamiliar IDs.
Su Can is someone who has been through this before. He has no memory of the ID, so that means it has never been typed out, and it is useless to buy it.
It doesn't have any training value, it might as well be Da'an.
After all, I, Da'an, will be the world runner-up in the future.
Su Can looked around and saw that there were no good choices on it. Even the stateless ones were on it, as you can imagine.
Stateless Now you have to say that he still has the ability to play games, but he is just able to play games.
It's impossible to really say how good you are at playing or carrying games.
He has a good relationship with the factory director, but the game is not based on relationship, results must be important.
Even he is under consideration, so you can imagine what the mid laner is like now.
Su Can put down the list and couldn't help but said: "I think the mid laner can take his time and look at it. What are you going to do with the AD position?"
Nowadays, everyone is focusing on the mid laner. In fact, AD is also playing like a piece of shit, and he is becoming more and more inappropriate.
If you want to talk about the number one war criminal, Su Can doesn't think it's Da'an's turn.
It's just that IBoy has a championship status here, so it can only be said that no one wants to touch him for the time being.
Su Can doesn't care so much, but with this attitude, he probably won't get much better in the future.
If EDG believed him, it would be a waste of time.
"I have already talked about AD. You can talk to him later."
Abu also said next to him.
Everyone can see that IBoy has problems, but we can only hope that he will play well in the summer split.
EDG can take a fancy to him, and there is no problem with his potential.
It was after winning the world championship that something went wrong with my thinking.
Su Can thought for a while, it would not be a big deal to fire Iboy, he still has a contract.
He didn't commit any crime. At most, he just had a problem with his thinking. You can't force him to be expelled for this.
Su Can still said: "I don't think you can all expect him to turn around and fight hard. I think it's too much."
"It's better to buy a substitute for the AD position and put pressure on him directly."
"If it really doesn't work, I'll just change him. We'll lose anyway, so why should I have sex with him?"
Abu nodded, seemingly thoughtful.
If I really put the pressure on the substitute, maybe Iboy would be willing to play well.
I couldn't help but ask: "How about we bring up the AD of the second team in the summer split?"
