Chapter 489 The Butterfly Effect!
Two weeks later, Abu finally sent out relevant news.
EDG traded Iboy for IG's new AD carry, JackeyLove!
For this reason, IG even gave EDG an extra 500!
It's like exchanging 500 million plus JackeyLove for Hu Xianzhao, the AD carry who won the World Championship.
However, IG also has conditions: EDG club must sign a three-year live streaming contract with Panda TV.
Simply put, all EDG players are required to stream on Panda TV to drive traffic to Wang Sicong's Panda TV channel.
At the end of 2017, Panda TV was in the process of seeking an IPO.
In addition, Abu brought Zhou Hanyang even more shocking news.
EDG's victory at the Bird's Nest this year sparked a massive online frenzy in China.
Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili...
Some self-media accounts on these social media platforms even gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight by riding the wave of EDG's championship victory.
What is this concept?
Even five years from now, this will still be a terrifying number, let alone in 2017.
The market value of major live streaming platforms has skyrocketed.
Panda TV had just received 1 billion yuan in funding in May 2017, with a valuation of over 3 billion yuan.
In less than half a year, due to EDG's championship victory, a lot of capital has been waving large sums of money, hoping to invest in Wang Sicong's Panda TV.
Of course, Douyu and Huya have also attracted capital investment.
The whole country is caught up in a frenzy of online traffic.
RNG's owner wants to invest in Wang Sicong's Panda TV, hoping to make a fortune before Panda TV goes public.
But how could Principal Wang possibly be interested in RNG's owner?
Why do companies need financing? Besides raising money to burn, there is another very important reason: they need capital resources to grow bigger and stronger together and make money together.
Who is the owner of RNG?
Besides a relatively small amount of money, what else can be provided to Panda TV?
It's traffic, of course!
Currently, in the LPL, besides pigs, dogs are second only to pigs.
Finally, the two sides reached a deal: RNG would loan Uzi to IG for one year, and IG would loan Iboy to RNG for one year, resulting in an exchange of AD carries.
Principal Wang, on the other hand, allowed RNG's owner to invest in Panda TV.
It has to be said that Principal Wang really has some talent.
That move of forming alliances and maneuvering was absolutely brilliant.
Not only did they attract all of EDG's championship players, but they also brought in Uzi from RNG.
When Zhou Hanyang heard the news, he was completely dumbfounded.
He really didn't expect that RNG would actually loan Uzi to IG.
However, it must be said that this fits the image of RNG's owner very well—typically rich, but lacking in investment acumen.
Why did RNG eventually falter? Besides liking Victoria playing some mini-games, they were also tricked into buying into the real estate market at its end.
Anyone with a brain and connections would never do something like this.
However, Uzi's move to IG is both a good thing and a bad thing in some ways.
With teammates able to gain an advantage and win the game without Uzi getting a red card, IG's fighting strength has undoubtedly reached a new level.
Although S8's Gege won the S-series championship, it must be said that S8's Gege was actually quite inexperienced.
Pigeon didn't reach his peak until S9, but Blue Princess's competitive performance declined.
Furthermore, due to issues with the jungler and support in S9, the AD carry didn't significantly impact the game, so the team favored the top side of the map, making it difficult to discern any clues.
It wasn't until S10, when Gege joined TES, that he truly began to shine.
TES's bot lane had the largest gold lead at 15 minutes, ranking first among all teams worldwide, and it was a significant lead.
The key issue is the support player they brought, a support who couldn't even find a job after leaving TES.
In S8, EDG couldn't secure lane priority in any of their three lanes against IG, who had Uzi on the team.
Needless to say, in the top lane, while Flandre is strong, he's ultimately no match for TheShy.
Mixed accommodations are definitely not a problem, but gaining an advantage is too difficult.
Mid laner left hand attacks Rookie!
In S8, Rookie would kick even a dog twice; no one could withstand Rookie.
As for Uzbekistan?
That's the absolute best of the best; the Uzi from S8 was the pinnacle of Uzi.
The team even pioneered an unprecedented "Uzi three-step" strategy for Uzi, which finally led to Uzi winning the championship.
When Zhou Hanyang was reborn, he understood that this was the so-called butterfly effect.
Without a system, even EDG in S8 would face pressure against IG.
As long as IG plays normally in lane and coordinates with the jungle, they can succeed.
Then they can simply gain an advantage and engage in normal team fights, while EDG needs to go through a series of tactical designs.
This is the advantage that comes from being strong in lane and gaining lane control.
The reason why Zhou Hanyang was so anxious during S7 was because he was worried about the impact of such uncontrollable factors.
S8 has already undergone such changes, who knows what S9 will be like?
