Now Fu Manduo spoke up: "I don't think IG's lineup is invincible yet."

"We have our own problems now, and the versions will change, and the strength of the team will also change with the versions."

Xiye muttered, "How many championships have you won? How many versions? It's too scary."

Fumando continued: "But our lineup has been changing all the time, proving that it is not a simple lineup problem."

Xiye suddenly came to his senses: "I understand, it's all about Yuan Shen! No matter how other people change, Yuan Shen has never changed. As long as he is here, IG's competitiveness will remain."

Yuan Shen pointed at Fu Manduo and said, "Our coach has also been with IG for three years. Why don't you think it's because of him?"

"And Lao Song, he has been with IG for three years, and he hasn't left either."

957 patted Xiye on the shoulder and said, "See? You need to be loyal to the team to win the championship."

Xiye retorted: "Why do I feel like you got it the other way around? Only when you win the championship will you be loyal."

Meiko pointed to Jack next to her and said, "Here's someone who's not loyal even though he won the championship."

Jack was originally only thinking about ordering food, but when someone pointed at him, he looked at other people.

Xiye and 957 both looked over, their eyes full of confusion.

The two seemed very confused as to why Jack didn't stay at IG and had to change jobs.

If he was still in IG, he would probably have a share of the S championship.

Jack explained:

"Everyone's pursuit is different. I want to win the championship with my own strength, rather than being inferior to others for a long time."

Xiye said: "But you didn't get it either."

“Hahahaha…” Meiko laughed like crazy.

957 laughed and said, "It hurts my heart, old friend."

Jack hesitated and finally said nothing.

Soon, the waiters started serving the dishes, and Fu Manduo asked everyone to eat.

Everyone specially found a Chinese restaurant so that they could have a little taste of their hometown.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, the LPL All-Star team boarded the plane and after more than 20 hours of flight, they finally returned to China.

The five of them plus the coach took a group photo at the airport. You probably won’t have the chance to see such a lineup again, so everyone chose to take a few photos together.

Then everyone goes back to his home.

There was only the Demacia Cup left in 2017, but the second team was assigned to this kind of competition, and Yuan Shen did not participate.

The time came to January 2018.

The transfer period is in full swing.

#Kars joins RNG.

#RNG promoted AD substitute from the second team.

First of all, RNG has not achieved anything in the past year. Now the club is trying to strengthen the lineup and at the same time increase the strength of UZI.

There are a lot of criticisms of UZI online, some saying that he consumes too many resources and does too little.

In order to inspire UZI's fighting spirit, RNG chose to promote players from the youth training team and the second team to serve as his substitutes, so that he could feel the pressure.

#The factory manager may gradually retire next season.

#Hope joins EDG.

Then there is the news about EDG. Now everyone has been thinking that EDG should train a new jungler. Clearlove may still play, but not all the time. At the same time, the number of games he plays will gradually decrease. As to what extent, it depends on the training of the new players.

#It is revealed that TES is in contact with Yuan Shen.

When Yuan Shen saw this news, he felt a little puzzled. TES had indeed contacted him before, but he refused. Could it be that they wanted to use this to recruit other players?

Some players may not want to go to TES, but after seeing this news, they will think about giving it a try, which can at least increase their success rate.

This doesn’t matter to Yuan Shen.

The good news for Yuan Shen is that there is no news from IG.

The fact that IG has no news means that everyone is still there and the lineup will be the same next year, so there is no need to re-adjust.

At the same time, Yuan Shen was also paying attention to the situation in LCK.

In LCK, LZ changed its name to KZ. The players are similar, with a substitute Rescal joining the top lane.

Huni left SKT, and new players were introduced in the top lane, jungle, and mid lane.

Only the bottom lane is unshakable.

As for SSG, Ambition still chose to retire. Although he said before that he would retire and get married after winning the championship, many things in life are beyond your control.

Crown is rumored to be in contact with clubs in the North American region, and it seems that he wants to live a more relaxed life.

CoreJJ also left and went to North America with Crown. It is estimated that the two of them discussed it together.

SSG directly acquired it and renamed it KSV Team.

Ruler is still in KSV.

Yuan Shen felt that if he was still there, KSV would still have combat effectiveness.

GRF was promoted from the secondary league to LCK, which is considered a wave of fresh blood.

In this regard, LPL is indeed not as good as LCK. It seems that there is always a newcomer in LCK who is eye-catching.

Yuan Shen is on vacation, and his colleagues are paying attention to the developments in the two major competition areas.

Overall, not a lot has changed.

Soon, the schedule and match schedule for the spring season came out, and the opening game was between IG and WE.

Yuan Shen smiled when he saw this opening game.

They were teammates in the All-Star Game before, but they became rivals so quickly.

Sure enough, there was an immediate reaction in the LPL All-Star Game group. The group should have been disbanded, but Fumanduo probably forgot and did not disband it.

Xiye: "No? Are we going to play IG in the opening game of the Spring Split? Did the officials make a mistake in the arrangement? Should we reconsider it?"

957: "I am really impressed. Has the person who arranged this schedule never played games?"

Jackeylove: "I don't really understand, why can't the opening game be between you and IG?"

Xiye: "How about this, we go and tell the official that our club has something wrong and we have to adjust the schedule due to force majeure, and then let you TES take over, will you go?"

Jackeylove: "Why would we do this?"

Xiye: "Look, don't you know it well?"

Meiko: "Hahahaha, good luck to you, WE."

957: "Review! Xiye, even if we try hard, we are not completely without a chance."

There are still ten days before the opening game, and IG is back from vacation. Fumanduo sent a message to everyone, asking them to arrive at the training base on time tomorrow.

The next morning, Yuan Shen arrived at the gate of the training base.

The weather is nice today, a little cold but sunny.

"Long time no see." I haven't been here for a long time, and it feels like revisiting an old place.

Yuan Shen walked towards the training base. Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him and someone was approaching quickly.

Yuan Shen looked back and saw Rookie walking towards him quickly with a sly smile. He probably wanted to give Yuan Shen a little "golden surprise", but was discovered.

"Old Song, long time no see." Yuan Shen greeted.

"Master Yuan, I feel like you've gained weight. It looks like your life is pretty good." Rookie joked.

"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, how can you not get fat?" "Hey! Master Yuan! Did you just get here too? I thought I was late." Another voice sounded.

I saw Prince Ning running over happily.

"Ning, how was your vacation?" Yuan Shen greeted.

"Oh, don't mention it, it's boring."

"Hey, isn't this Lao Song?" King Ning looked at Rookie.

Rookie's face turned cold: "Can you please stop calling me Lao Song?"

"Okay, Old Song, no problem, Old Song." King Ning laughed.

Rookie rolled his eyes.

The three of them went in together.

Enter the training building, take the elevator and go straight to the training room.

When I walked to the door of the training room, I found that the aunt was cleaning and was basically done.

Fu Manduo came over from the other end of the corridor: "Happy New Year, everyone."

"Happy New Year, Coach." The three responded.

Fu Manduo took out a red envelope from his pocket:
"This is our red envelope for starting work. We will resume training starting today."

The three of them took one each and followed Fumando into the training room.

Fumando continued: "Now other teams are trying to strengthen their lineups and intensify training, so we can't fall behind."

"And there are a lot of changes in the new version. Have you played RANK recently?"

The three of them looked at each other, obviously not.

Fu Manduo said: "Then you need to be more familiar with the version and see which heroes can be used in the game and which ones have higher priority."

Just then, footsteps came from the door.

Baolan and Smlz walked in.

"Happy New Year." Fu Manduo stepped forward and gave red envelopes to the two of them.

Yuan Shen sat in his seat, turned on the computer and logged in, wanting to experience the new version.

"Hmm? Jiang Chenglu hasn't come yet? I'll give him a call." King Ning took out his cell phone and made a call.

Then a cell phone rang in the corridor outside.

coming!

Theshy walked in from outside, and Fumanduo gave him a red envelope and said:
"Okay, now that everyone is here, you guys should practice in rank today to get familiar with the version and get your feel back. I'll arrange a training match for you tomorrow."

"Do you have any questions? If you don't, let's get started."

So everyone in IG started training.

Ten days passed quickly.

2018 League of Legends Professional League, Spring Season.

Inside the competition venue, backstage.

The IG players are making final preparations before going on stage.

Fu Manduo said: "Today our opponent is WE. They are also very strong and have no obvious weaknesses. The laning abilities of all three lines are very good."

"Most importantly, WE has a good team chemistry and teamfighting is their strong point."

At this moment, Ning Wang suddenly asked: "Can I play? How about letting me play in the first game?"

Fu Manduo looked at Yuan Shen, who nodded: "If you think you can win, of course you can go."

King Ning was stunned: "Ah? Must we win?"

Baolan complained: "If you can't win, why are you going up there? Performing acrobatics?"

Yuan Shen explained: "Because it's the opening game, it's best to win it."

Ning Wang then made a promise: "Don't worry, I will go all out and try to defeat WE!"

So Fu Manduo went to communicate with the referee to determine the starting lineup.

On the WE side, the WE players are discussing tactics.

Xiye said, "How can I do this? How can I do this? With Master Yuan here, it feels very difficult."

957 thought about it and said, "They will definitely arrange for Yuan Shen to play in the opening match, but I don't know how well Yuan Shen has mastered this new version."

Kangdi muttered, "It seems that there are more tool players in the jungle this version, such as Jarvan, Sejuani, Zac... Oh, Mantis is quite powerful, we should pay attention to this hero..."

Suddenly, a staff member appeared at the door and reminded: "IG's starting lineup has changed. Top laner Theshy, jungler Ning, mid laner Rookie, ADCSmlz, support Baolan."

"Ah? Yuan Shen is not on? What is IG doing?" Xiye was shocked.

Kangdi laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, if Yuan Shen doesn't come on, we have a great chance. At least I will definitely have an advantage in the jungle."

My brother-in-law said, "Are you sure? Their substitute jungler is not easy to deal with."

Kangdi said with disdain: "Their substitute jungler is completely supported by the strong mid and top laning. If you can hold up the mid and top laning, I can invade his jungle at will."

Seeing Kangdi so confident, 957 and Xiye also saw hope.

But outrageous things soon happened.

The staff member appeared again and asked a question:
"IG's starting lineup has changed, with Yuanshen taking over as jungler."

After hearing this, everyone in WE was stunned and disheartened.

Kangdi rushed out and complained: "No, buddy, you must have made a mistake just now, how could it change so much?"

The staff explained: "IG did want to change players at first, but due to some force majeure factors, they changed back."

"Ah? Force majeure? What the hell?"

On the other side, in the IG lounge, everyone felt that Fu Manduo had been away for a bit too long.

Suddenly, Fu Manduo came back: "I have bad news for you, King Ning."

"What bad news?"

"I just communicated with the referee. You were in the starting lineup. There was no problem at first, but on my way back, the referee came to me and told me that if Yuan Shen can play, I should try to let him play. This is the official arrangement."

Fumando explained.

Baolan reacted: "There is a reason why the official arranged for us to play the opening game. It's nothing more than seeing that we are very popular, so they want to use our popularity to remind the audience that the spring season has begun and pay attention to the game. If Yuan Shen doesn't play, then the effect will be greatly reduced."

Prince Ning complained: "Oh my god, there is such a thing. I am really convinced. Can we not listen to them? Isn't this something we decide internally? Why does the government interfere?"

Baolan started rolling her eyes, as if she was fooled.

Rookie advised: "I don't think it's necessary to go against the officials for such a small matter. Why do you have to make the relationship awkward? Besides, this is also a good thing for our region. Anyway, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future, right?"

King Ning then reluctantly accepted: "Okay, then I won't go up for now."

After a while, the time was almost up, and Fu Manduo called out:

"Okay, it's time for us to go on stage. Come on, everyone. It's a new season, a new journey, and new challenges. I believe we can always stay competitive and reach new heights. Come on, IG!"

The five starting players of IG followed Fumanduo out of the lounge. After they went out, in the corridor, the IG players ran into the WE players who were about to go on the court.

The two teams met each other, and when the WE members saw Yuan Shen inside, their hearts were broken.

At the game site, in the commentary booth, three commentators, Wawa, Miller, and Gugu, were ready.

Wawa explained: "Hello, audience friends, I know you have been waiting for a long time. The 2018 season has begun. Summoners, are you ready? Meet the new challenge!"

Miller continued: "The two teams in the opening match of this spring season are WE and the three-time champion IG. Now, let's welcome them with the warmest applause!" (End of this chapter)
