Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 341: The lineup is officially announced, and all parties are in an uproar.

In fact, the reason why this live stream was so popular, or rather, why the live stream was so incredibly popular, was largely due to the question of whether Uzi would join Edg and team up with Clearlove.

But right from the start, before the big scoop was even revealed, the factory manager gave everyone a surprise.

Who is champion7?
The current Korean server's infamous 30-game winning streak ranked king is someone that even other top professional players have to admire and be on their toes to deal with.

Thanks to the factory manager's rich experience, coupled with terrifying basic attributes and a tiny bit of basic psychology, many random junglers who are not good at scheming will be kicked out of the jungle in no time.

Against players with lower levels of education, the difference in thinking and consideration is even more obvious.

Even Tian, ​​the newly crowned S9 FMVP and now FPX's jungler, bluntly stated that Champion7 truly plays the game with his brain, which is terrifying.

Therefore, the sensation and uproar caused by Li Luo's words after the outcome was finalized was absolutely explosive.

Everyone knows that Champion7 is incredibly strong. For Mingkai to say in front of the entire internet that this is himself is definitely solid proof!
After all, no one would be foolish enough to let someone else level up an account for them and then impersonate the account. Otherwise, if they performed poorly in a competition, they would be exposed immediately.

As their identities were revealed, some were happy while others were sad, but in the live stream chat, all the fans were cheering with joy.

After all, the status and number of fans that the factory manager had established before are incomparable to the current champions.

However, opinions among those in the industry vary: some are excited, some feel it's a pity, and some are even annoyed.

"Those two cunning old foxes, Mingkai and Abu, along with Jian Zihao, also kept it from the club and harmed its interests. This time, I'll remember this."

Xu Xiao, sitting in RNG's manager's office, had a gloomy face. Several shards of celadon glass lay scattered on the floor beside him, clearly indicating that he was not at peace at the moment.

Even someone as simple-minded as him could understand the intricacies of the matter at this moment. If Clearlove's strength were to truly recover, coupled with Edg's current roster, not only would qualifying for the World Championship be possible, but winning the title wouldn't be out of the question.

If Uzi goes to Edg and wins the championship, his fate is self-evident.

As a team manager, allowing his team's key players to leave and damaging the team's honor, his esports career is likely over.

No one would hire such an idiot to mess up their own club!
But he forgot one thing from beginning to end: he agreed to Abu's negotiation without informing Jian Zihao, and at that time he even boasted that he had made a brilliant deal.

Suning is no exception.

At this moment, everyone in the Suning club was sitting in the training room watching the live broadcast.

"Edgd is really strong this year. Flandre, Xiye, Uzi, Clearlove, Scout, Tianye, this is an all-star lineup."

"Indeed, Edg will be a formidable opponent for us this year. To be honest, I didn't expect Clearlove's performance to have recovered to this level."

Although sofm maintained his calm and collected expression, he was inwardly shocked.

For a veteran player to recover to this level after experiencing a slump, it's not something that can be achieved through sudden enlightenment and training; it requires talent!

Moreover, this talent must be one in a million!
Is this the factory manager?

Sofm doesn't know, and of course, no one at Suning knows.

Various voices resounded around the world as people watched the live broadcast.

Even EDG fans couldn't accept this "surprise." Just a few days ago, EDG's official Weibo account announced that Clearlove would be transitioning to coaching, and that he would shine in the coaching position during S10. And now, just a few days later, he's already achieved a 30-game winning streak and is aiming for the top spot in the Korean server.

"Now, let's answer the second question. Our EDG roster for the new season has been finalized, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Everyone, come and say hello to the fans!"

Li Luo chuckled, stepped aside, and raised the camera slightly to ensure it could capture the standing person.

The first player to appear was, naturally, the AD position player that fans were eager to know about.

When the eternally beloved God Zaozi appeared on screen, even fans who were already 99% certain were completely thrilled!

"Hello everyone, I'm Jian Zihao. It's an honor to be able to come to Edg Club this season to pursue my dream. Thank you all for your support and love along the way. From now on, I will be edg.Uzi. Thank you!"

Zaozi's eyes were red, clearly indicating that he was not at peace with himself.

Especially when he said, "I am EDG.Uzi," it was as if he was severing ties with the past and embracing a new life, which was quite moving.

"Uzi is awesome, transferring to EDG, he's got guts!!!"

"To be honest, even though I'm an IG fan, I'm really happy to see these two team up."

"+1, Uzi and Claralove, two legendary players in the history of the League, the representatives of the previous era of the League, are now gathered in one team to compete for the S10 championship! Awesome!"

"I was so excited yesterday when I heard that Uzi was transferring to Edg, I'm really happy now!"

"This slime monster is going with Uzi; from now on, I'm a starchy person."

The comments section was buzzing with discussion. Because of the one-day buffer, most people weren't too shocked or excited, but simply respected Edg's solid evidence and boldness.

However, when the next person appeared on screen, these people clearly couldn't stay calm.

"Hello everyone, I'm Edg.xiye. This season I joined Edg and chose to chase the world championship with Clearlove and Uzi. Hahaha, I'm a long-time dreamer. Being on the same team as them, no matter what, the atmosphere is definitely amazing!"

Xi Ye's appearance was undoubtedly a bombshell.

As a top player in the previous era of the domestic league, Xiye often plays against Greece, but this flaw cannot overshadow his strength in domestic matches and even greater strength in international matches.

The top mid-laner in China left WE to join Edg, forming such a strong lineup to pursue their dreams. At this moment, WE fans were also moved to tears.

The three powerhouses of S7 – WE, Edg, and RNG – have now reunited, their core players all together. In this era of fierce competition, the three have joined forces, determined to defend the glory of the past. What a feeling, what a sensation.
It's just mind-numbing.

"The three dominant teams joined forces to help the LPL region win its third championship?"

"Holy crap, I'm moved to tears. S10 Edg has truly become a team of nostalgia. Regardless of whether they win the championship or not, just seeing these guys on the same team makes me happy."

Seeing the barrage of comments getting increasingly frenzied, Xi Ye shyly stepped back, letting the Holy Gun Bro next to him take the stage.

"Hello, you can call me Holy Gun Bro or EDG Flandre. This season I will be EDG's top laner, helping the team shoulder the pressure and also sharing the firepower with my idol Uzi. My fans, please send me some messages instead of Xiye. It makes me look bad!"

Flandre's entrance was inherently dramatic, causing many who were initially spamming his name to switch their focus to Xiye upon hearing this. However, everyone knew one thing for sure: the most iconic moment in LPL history was about to unfold!
In competitive sports, there are only a handful of superstars. A superstar is someone who makes all the other star athletes pale in comparison the moment they step onto the field.

Now, an unexpected thing has happened: a team has five players who are undoubtedly superstars in the LPL. If these players weren't all dream-like professional players without any honors, this moment would probably have already caused a sensation in the professional gaming world.

……

"Sigh~" At the SKT club in South Korea, Faker was also watching the live broadcast. Even without a translator, he sighed heavily as he watched each player appear.

As players from the same era, he is familiar with almost everyone except for Flandre.

Scout was once his substitute trainee. Because of him and Easyhoon, he had no chance to leave for an LPL team. Now he is EDG's starting mid laner.

The factory manager was no stranger to the team; at his peak, he was also the team's number one enemy.

His Widowmaker was unpredictable, leading Edg to a 3-2 victory over him at his peak, and he also won the MSI MVP.

Although this player later fell into decline again, when he learned that champion7 was him, a strong sense of threat and powerlessness reappeared in Faker's heart.

Later on, Xiye became his opponent, someone who had solo-killed him, and someone he had studied all night.

And Uzi
Looking at the group of superstar players huddled together on the live stream screen, Li Ge sighed again.

In S8, everyone was still laughing at G2 for defeating RNG, but unexpectedly, the tables turned and in S9, G2 defeated Skt again.

Both teams that everyone thought were invincible were completely crushed by G2.

Li Ge's confidence was also completely shattered.

Like the Li-Ning team, Skt has now become an empty shell.

Former championship coach Kkoma has left for the LPL to seek opportunities, top laner Khan has left the team to join the S9 champion team, jungler Clid has left SKT to join Gen.G, and the team's veteran Mata has also announced his retirement.

Now Skt is down to just him, Teddy, and effort.

The glory days of SKT have finally come to an end, because they couldn't even keep the SKT logo, and it has become the T1 team we know today.

The honors he cherished, the things he considered glorious, are now being trampled underfoot by the club.

"Perhaps I should also find a way out, and not stay stuck in this T1."

I support you.

A sudden voice appeared beside Faker. He turned around and saw Mata, who had already announced his retirement.

"He, Uzi, is just like you, even more stubborn than you, but he has now chosen to join another team to seek a phoenix-like rebirth. Faker, perhaps you should think about whether you are Faker, SktFaker, or T1Faker."

Mata stared at the grinning Zaozi on the screen, her gaze lingering as she said:
"Don't forget, you're better than these people in terms of seniority, experience, and even honors!"

"After two seasons without a championship, you should consider whether it's your fault or the team's fault."

"At least, with three World Championship titles, you are the universally recognized Demon King. SKT is not the source of everyone's fear, you are!"

Mata understands the importance of self-preservation, which is why he still has many fans in China after playing Zyra the Windspeaker.

Even when it comes to rankings of support players, his ranking has always remained high.

However, his words today were completely different from his usual style. It's no exaggeration to say that what he actually meant was to persuade Faker to leave the team.

Upon hearing this, Brother Li suddenly laughed.

He knew that Mata's words were tinged with personal resentment.

If we were to list legendary figures in the S-series esports scene, Mata, as the undisputed world's best support player during S4, would undoubtedly be one of them.

Mata gained recognition from players soon after entering the professional scene for his exceptional talent, and was known as one of the three great support players in Korea, along with Madlife and Mafa.

Mata entered the professional scene as early as 2012 and can be considered one of the older generation of professional players in South Korea. In his second year as a professional player, Mata won the OGN championship, and in his third year, he won the World Championship. It can be said that he had a very successful professional career.

S8kt advanced from the group stage, with Mata being MVP in almost every game. He is one of the very few players who can simultaneously control the game and direct the situation in all three lanes. Most players (especially carries) can only focus on their own lanes. Only a few players can direct the overall situation, and only a handful of players can simultaneously control the game and direct the situation in all three lanes, including Mata.

This player, who was hailed as the "Rhythm Master" and "Game Commander," only played two games at the World Championship after joining SKT in S9.

Especially in the last game, the coaching staff pushed Mata out to take the blame while not giving him command authority, which was so egregious that it was outrageous.

So now Mata has no feelings for Skt at all, and it's perfectly normal for her to encourage him to leave Skt.

However, Li Ge did not refute Mata's words.

As a great demon king who has tasted the highest honor three times and even almost achieved an unprecedented honor, he has his own pride and his own pursuit!
But as the saying goes, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories. SKT's performance in S8 and S9 was dismal, and if things continue like this year, all of this will be forgotten.

No one will remember how down and out T1 is now; people will only remember that a once-great team has fallen and that Skt has disappeared into the annals of history.

It's time to make a change!

"Alright. Since the new generation of players has risen, I can't be complacent." Brother Li squinted his eyes, as if he could see countless flashes of light and shadow through the screen.

Players from the neighboring region who have been competing for years without a championship are all working hard and striving for honor. How could he possibly remain in T1 and try to hold onto his past glory?

Since Skt changed its name to T1 in an attempt to shed the shadows and imprints it left behind, I might as well leave and create my own Skt somewhere else!

Mata, standing next to him, looked at Faker with a gratified expression, his face showing renewed fighting spirit. It was unclear whether he was happy because he had poached Faker from SKT or because the legendary player's mentality had returned.

But he knew the Faker he knew, the Faker whose eyes were filled with anger!

he!
They're back!
