Chapter 1632: Unexpected Mid-Lane Selection

Lin Cheng decided to give up the mid-jungle combination of Canyon + Showmaker, not mainly to save money for the club, but Canyon's style may not be suitable for Lin Cheng.

Canyon is a player with strong personal heroism. In the original jungle core version, he was the world's number one jungler. In the past, he also played carry-type heroes.

At the beginning, Niu Bao and Xu Xiu could provide great support to Canyon online, and Canyon could carry the game very well.

But it must be said that Peanut is better than Canyon in terms of playing dog for teammates.

Peanut is too cunning. He can punish Canyon every time because he plays smart.

In Lin Cheng's view, since it is very difficult for the club to desperately grab Canyon and Xu Xiu, it is better to find a jungler who can play dog ​​for himself.

Changing the target, KT's progress in contacting Cuzz is very fast.

Cuzz did not hesitate at all when he was summoned by KT.

After all, he sat on the bench for a year in T1 last year, and his salary is not low in LCK. Cuzz is too luxurious for his teammates at the bottom, and the teams at the top have their own goals.

After being favored by KT, Cuzz must consider whether this is his only chance in his life.

That's KT!

Where Lin Cheng is.

On November 28, KT officially announced that Cuzz joined.

The forum was immediately lively.

T1 fans were cheering.

Cuzz who is not in T1 is a good Cuzz. I hope Cuzz can continue to work hard and do harm to KT this year.

KT fans are cautiously optimistic.

After all, T1's old player Evert did not perform badly when he came to KT, and Cuzz is not without ability. I just hope that next season Cuzz can be a good dog for Lin Cheng.

Cuzz is actually a very abstract player. He has shown the duality of gods and demons since the era when Longzhu dominated LCK.

He can play a performance with a rhythm that takes off, and he can also play a super cerebral hemorrhage scene.

He is very brave when he is brave, and very cowardly when he is cowardly. He is unreliable at critical moments.

However, with Lin Cheng around, it is impossible to rely on Cuzz at critical moments, so KT fans are not too worried.

Except for the fans of the two news agencies, the spectators are watching the excitement.

Could it be that the T1 defectors are going to beat up their old club again?

This year it's the small support, and next year it's Brother Kezi?

If T1 is beaten by Cuzz, whom they despise so much, in the new season, the fans will probably feel worse than eating shit.

It's very interesting to think about it.

You should know that the two people who defected to KT have had a great impact on T1 in recent years.

Last year, the small support's live broadcast leak started the first year of T1's truck, and the command chaos caused by Brother Cuzz the year before last created the first year of T1's palace fighting.

If Lin Cheng really led these two generals to shit on T1's head, I guess the fans would really want to kill him.

People that Faker can't lead, take off when they go to Lin Cheng?

It's very uncomfortable to think about it!

According to fans' observations, Brother Cuzz is already gearing up for it.

Last night, the King's Game of 1,000 points set off a bloody storm again. Do you understand the value of Brother Cuzz's seven consecutive MVPs in the King's Game in one night?

After deciding on the jungler, Lin Cheng even called Cuzz to communicate for a while.

The two were originally game friends. Cuzz actually had a very good personality and spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Lin Cheng.

After all, when he debuted in Longzhu, he was a dog for Brother Khan and was used to being ordered around.

On the same night that Cuzz joined KT, T1 officially announced that Faker had successfully renewed his contract.

Immediately, an insider broke the news that Faker's new contract reached 6 million US dollars a year, equivalent to 7.2 billion won, breaking the contract record in the e-sports circle that Lin Cheng had just refreshed.

KT fans were a little uncomfortable.

Damn! Cheng just renewed his contract for 7 billion won, and you turned around and offered 7.2 billion won. Are you deliberately trying to suppress him?

You wait next year!

Fans are like this. They even have to compete for the contracts of their favorite players.

At this time, the outside world did not know about Zhao Mashi's strange operation of offering Lin Cheng 5 billion and 1,000 won, otherwise the fans of both sides would have fought.

The impact of Faker's contract renewal is more than just a quarrel between fans of both sides.

Li Ge was obviously fed up with the rotation last season. When T1 officially announced the contract renewal of Faker, it also clearly allowed other clubs to contact the team's mid laner Clozer.

KT immediately couldn't sit still.

Nongshim's move to contact BDD was too fast. When Lin Cheng decided to give up DK's mid and jungle, BDD had already signed a contract with Nongshim. There is no good mid laner left in the free agent market.

Although Clozer's performance during T1's playing time was not top-notch, he was also considered a relatively outstanding mid laner in LCK. After asking Lin Cheng for his opinion, the club began to contact Clozer.

However, things did not go smoothly.

Clozer himself was willing to come to KT to prove himself, but T1 would not let him go.

Because Clozer's contract has not expired this year, players who want to change clubs must obtain T1's consent, which is different from the situation last year when the small auxiliary was kicked out first and then found a team.

When Zhao Mashi saw that Clozer wanted to defect to KT, of course he refused.

You can go anywhere except KT.

Damn it!

We are all brothers in the news agency. What's the point of poaching our players every day?

The contract of e-sports players does not include liquidated damages. After the negotiation failed, KT had to give up the pursuit of Clozer.

The feud between the two clubs is getting deeper and deeper.

Seeing that it is already December and the mid-lane selection is still undecided, An Haosheng discussed with Lin Cheng and decided to wait and see. If it doesn't work, they can only let the youth training mid-lane Vicla take over.

Vicla is the most promising player in KT's youth training after Zeka. There is no problem with his personal operation, but he lacks experience.

Lin Cheng began to consider whether to ask Mr. Kuro to come back and play for another year, and take the small mid-lane with him.

But things soon took a turn for the better.

At twelve o'clock in the morning on December 4, Lin Cheng was still browsing his phone when he was suddenly attracted by a domestic news.

Just now, IG mid-lane player Rookie suddenly posted a Weibo:

Free man.

Obviously, his contract renewal with IG failed, and leaving an email address at the end released a transfer signal.

No one would have thought that Rookie, who had been in IG for 7 years, would leave IG. He had almost become the flag of IG, but he did not meet his end in IG.

From the beginning of Rookie to the end of Rookie, the Incheon people finally dispersed.

Lin Cheng did not care about the inside story, and keenly realized that this was an opportunity.

Rookie's contract renewal was dragged by IG for half a month. The rich teams in LPL had already decided on the mid-lane, and the poor teams could not afford Rookie's salary. Is it possible to recruit him to KT?

Moreover, Rookie's performance was not good last year. Even if the downstream teams wanted to spit blood to sign Rookie, they would probably be very hesitant.

But Lin Cheng had no doubts about Rookie's strength.

The deformed warrior version last year really did not explain the problem. Many traditional mid-lanes struggled, including Faker.

After all, he was a champion player who had proved himself. Lin Cheng felt that Rookie also wanted to continue to prove himself.

He decisively called An Haosheng.

After the team gave up Canyon and signed Cuzz, the remaining operating funds were very sufficient. At present, the LPL team lacking a mid-lane player cannot compete with KT.

But the question now is: Is Rookie willing to return to LCK?

Having been in China for so long, Rookie has also shown his love for Chinese life. His girlfriend is also in China. Is he willing to return to LCK again?

In any case, the club should be contacted first.

An Haosheng acted quickly.

At 12:30 am BJ time, Rookie received an email from KT.

"KT?"

The moment he saw the email, Rookie was stunned.

He never thought that KT would show interest in him. This is the club where he debuted.

At this moment, he thought a lot.

To be honest, if possible, he wants to stay in LPL to work.

He likes the atmosphere of LPL, and he is disgusted by the workplace relationship in LCK.

The reality is here. This year's contract renewal was dragged by the IG management. The other party's extreme price pressure made it difficult for him to accept, so he personally announced that he became a free agent.

This time is too awkward, and it may be difficult for other LPL teams to give him a good contract.

In addition, there is another point that Rookie must consider.

His father's health is getting worse and worse.

In 2019, Rookie missed IG's games for a while because his father was ill and needed to accompany him. IG let Jiao Tailang take over during that time.

Since then, his father's health has been very poor. Since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, it has been very troublesome to travel to and from South Korea. He has not seen his father for a long time and can only see the situation in the ward through video.

According to family members, his father may not be able to hold on for too long.

If he goes back to play for a year, he may be able to fulfill his last filial piety...

Thinking of this, Rookie turned his head and looked at his girlfriend.

He was in a dilemma again.
