Chapter 202 The Price of Clearlove

"No, I will never go to the mid lane, I am a top laner."

Zizi was talking about the upcoming exhibition match in the live broadcast room.

"I was a top laner when I retired, why not? What do you mean you don't dare to play against Faker?"

There is still nearly a month from the end of the bubble match to the start of the S game.

One month is indeed not too long, but in this era of urgent need for popularity, if you really do nothing during the holiday, it will definitely be unacceptable to everyone.

Whether it is Tencent Esports, the official League of Legends, or several live broadcast platforms, they all need the popularity of the event to supply.

And during this time, the popularity needs to be maintained, but between the summer finals and the S game, it is really impossible to insert another game like the Demacia Cup, which is not very realistic.

Therefore, the answer to solve the problem is still the exhibition match.

It can not only maintain the popularity, but also lay the foundation for the atmosphere of the S game to be held in Shanghai.

With seven years of experience, LPL is already quite adept at how to create momentum and operate traffic.

The entire plan was planned before the LPL finals.

Taking advantage of the 7th anniversary celebration, the LPL summer champion and the old predecessors had a show match.

The whole wave of the beautiful artistic conception of connecting the past and the future and blessing the expedition.

Of course, it is said to be the summer champion, but in fact, Tencent Esports has only one goal, that is, TES, which now has Lee Sang-hyeok and Jackeylove, two absolute traffic pillars.

If TES really loses to JDG, the official estimates that the traffic of this event will be at least 40% less.

Because TES has played a more dominant effect than RNG before the 18th S game this year, it has created a siphon effect on the traffic of the entire division.

Now the heat is all focused on TES.

And the result is not surprising. TES easily won the LPL summer championship as Tencent Esports thought, and can legitimately participate in this project.

After some small accidents happened on the road of god-making marketing of EDG and RNG, the senior management of Tencent Esports looked at Lee Sang-hyeok who lived up to expectations and ascended in the finals.

I was so excited that I wanted to turn into a Geodude and raise my arms high, shouting, "There has never been such a wonderful start!"

Seven years, seven years, do you know how long we have been waiting for this day? Finally, we met a reliable one.

TES is here, and there will be traffic! Traffic! That white money, isn't it coming?

But everyone knows that the bigger the hype is now, the greater the backlash will be if the S game fails.

As for Tencent Esports, regardless of whether it fails in the S game or not, it will create a wave of data before it fails.

The players did suffer backlash, but it was their own failure. What does it have to do with us?

What Tencent Esports officials care about is that when negotiating with event sponsors, they list the data and say, "Look, I have this data for any event."

Let's talk about this exhibition match.

It's some ancient old things playing a BO3, plus a big fight.

Although winning or losing is not important, the current TES, which kills in professional games, is still too supermodel.

So the official decided to split the five players of TES.

Divided into Jackeylove team and Faker team.

Three TES players plus two "legendary" players on one side, two TES players plus three "legendary" players on the other side.

Of course, they are called legendary players, but in fact, these old players who have bid farewell to the game for a long time are burdens imposed on them.

And Zzitai is obviously on the list of these burdens.

[You are just afraid of being abused by Faker. ]

[The anchor's hands began to shake as soon as he saw Faker, please understand. 】

"Hehe, I can't let Faker abuse me again, byd, even if you let Song Yijin be on the opposite side, I dare to play this mid-lane. Faker is here. This mid-lane is really unplayable."

"What do you mean I'm a coward? If you're not a coward, come and play!"

"Oh, no, I'll just apply to be a teammate with Faker." Zzitai said as he was about to take out his mobile phone and prepare to ask for the detailed lineup, "I can't play against Faker. The core players have to come. I'm not core enough."

"Ah, the list is out, damn, why am I on the opposite side of Faker again, whether to play or not, how can I play against 369?" Zzitai blushed.

Scratched his head.

Even though 369 is not very eye-catching against other TES players, even now some people think that his performance is slightly inferior to ZOOM.

But that is only slightly inferior to Zoom. The two still have wins and losses in the line, and the strength of the two is completely at the same level.

And Zzitai?

Zzitai's second comeback was when he was beaten into retirement by Zoom, not to mention that he has been retired for a whole year now.

"Why can this dog Kryst4al get on Faker's side?" Zzitai shouted that it was unfair.

At this moment, Crystal, who happened to be in Zzitai's live broadcast room, also sent a barrage, [Don't shout, this is what your father did directly against the world champion, how about you come? ]

Shuijing is obviously under a lot of pressure.

"How is your Draven and Jackeylove's Draven?" Zzitai saw the barrage and immediately asked a question that was almost unsuspenseful.

"Let him win." Brother Crystal also responded with great humor, "But you have to know who was the first Draven to have a pentakill in LPL. I remember that Draven, whom Jack loved, had never achieved a pentakill. .”

[You are pretending to be NM and letting him win. It’s time to water the flowerpot behind you! 】

[Among the entire list, you are not the only one with only one flowerpot, right? 】

"Hahaha, hey, don't. I feel like I really have a chance to win Jack's love this time. My mid laner is Faker! Do you understand?"

Brother Crystal looked back at his empty shelf with only a flowerpot on it, and smiled a little awkwardly.

"If it doesn't work out, I'll choose Lulu, choose a wind girl and hang it directly under the tower, and then fight in a team to shield Faker! When the time comes and you watch my performance, I will torture this dog Erzi."

[It’s just a matter of who can kill faster. Fast forward to the point where even a faker can’t handle dad. 】

[Indeed, compared to Jackeylove, I feel that God K has a higher probability of defeating faker. After all, God K is his teammate. 】

[It’s hard to say, but the core players should die pretty quickly. After all, the jungler on the opposite side is an old enemy, and they will definitely fight for their lives to catch him. 】

[This exhibition match lineup does feel much better than the Spring Finals. Is Clearlove really going to go there? Doesn't he really want to win over faker? 】

[Xika and Ruofeng have exchanged messages on Weibo before, do you think they are going to be caught? 】

[Isn’t this pig like Sika still free to hit? He and Brother Crystal seem to be able to build defense towers? 】

[Sika was still talking in the live broadcast room a few days ago, saying that he could win by going to TES and trading for Zhuo. Now, Brother Zhuo, can’t he give him a pig’s head and smash it? 】

Under normal circumstances, the number of viewers for exhibition games is indeed not very high.

But this year’s list is really full of gimmicks.

Jackeylove team: posture, karsa, if the wind, Jackeylove, zhuo.

Team Faker: 3e7, Faker, Krysta4l, Sika.

Whether you are rushing to watch the internal fighting in TES or want to see who is in C in TES.

It's because Claerlove and Ruofeng, a pair of brothers who have gone through all kinds of calamities in the true sense, meet and smile and settle their grudges for a duel.

Or maybe watching pure comedies like Sika and Brother Crystal.

Or spread out all kinds of gossip.

can find what they want to see.

"Ah, the exhibition match was unexpectedly highly discussed."

Although Lee Sang Hyuk traveled back in time this year, he surfed the Internet intensively.

But in Tieba Hupu, most of the discussions are about the modern history of the LPL.

I still don’t understand these ancient grudges.

"Nonsense, if I don't play, I want to watch this game." Jackeylove hates himself for why he participates 100% in the group every time, so he can't just be a spectator?

But now I am a little surprised, "Mingkai, this stupid guy, doesn't like to participate in this kind of activity? What do you mean?"

"It feels a bit dangerous, Brother Hao." Jackeylove joked, thinking that EDG was not here to poach people.

"No, EDG's results this year are a bit of a pity. I think Ming Kai was tricked into making the team more popular." Guo Hao didn't think Lee Sang Hyuk would choose EDG, who had already disgusted him once, and he felt relieved.

"Ming Kai? There is actually a chance to play a game with him."

Lee Sang Hyuk sighed with emotion, recalling that the last time the two had a brief conversation was when he was trying out EDG. As for meeting on the field.

That has to go back to another time and space, a long, long time ago.

"Hahaha, it's really an old thing. It's a rare opportunity." Karsa said, "Brother Li, you debuted too late. If you had a few years earlier, you might have been able to compete in official competitions."

"It's not easy."

Sometimes Lee Sang Hyuk's answers are always difficult to understand.

Everyone at TES can't understand Lee Sang Hyuk's logic, but if you can't understand it, just don't understand it.

Anyway, genius is destined to have different logic.

Lee Sang Hyuk couldn't help but think of many past events.

Lee Sang Hyuk lost to LPL for the first time on the world stage because of claerlove.

He had been looking forward to revenge against him.

As a result, in the subsequent S game, his performance made Lee Sang Hyuk full of disappointment.

Speaking of which, if I can win the last game of the deciding game at MSI in S5, then I should be able to achieve the so-called golden road and achieve the Grand Slam throughout the year.

After all, we are still missing a bo1.

Lee Sang Hyuk couldn't help but feel a little more fighting spirit in his eyes. He must have only one goal now, and that is to win the Grand Slam for the whole year.

This year we can't miss out on this bo1.

"Hey, actually I really don't want to participate in the event." Ming Kai opened his dull eyes and showed obvious resistance to such activities.

He usually doesn't even want to do live broadcasts.

"There is no way, EDG needs you." Abramovich comforted Mingkai, "Although it is an exhibition match, the official side values ​​it very much. What the official is thinking about this time is how the popularity came about, and now the official can still think of us. EDG, it’s not an easy thing.”

"Our past two years are not like before. In the past, the officials were always looking for us, but in the past two years, it has not been easy. We have to listen to what the officials say. We must try our best to satisfy the official requirements, so that we, EDG, can handle things easily in the future. "

Abu's control over human relations is quite good. It can only be said that he is worthy of being the one who made EDG a national power.

"In addition, I heard that Faker's contract is only one year, and it has not been renewed yet. We let Faker go before, and there was a little unpleasantness with him. This needs you to ease it."

"Uh, I don't think it makes sense for him to come to EDG." Mingkai felt that [EDG-Faker] was a fantasy that was missed after all.

"In any case, it's always okay to ease the relationship first. He will definitely be an important figure in the league in the future. If it doesn't work, there is still Jackeylove on the opposite side, otherwise 369 is also very good."

"You are eyeing TES." Mingkai complained. Abu wanted to change the name of TES directly to EDG.

"It's normal. TES is really attractive. Are you and Ruofeng okay now?"

"Nothing. We are both grown-ups. It's just that his EQ is still horrible."

"That's fine. Have fun in this exhibition match. Come on. Although you don't like this kind of business, there's nothing we can do. This is the price we pay for letting Faker go. Accept it!"

Abu patted Mingkai on the shoulder and told him to concentrate on representing EDG in business.

"Well, forget it. I haven't played a game for a long time. Just treat it as an experience. It must be great to be teammates with Faker."
