Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The LPL division failed to win the championship in the S13 Global Finals, and I thought that this failure would lead to the loss of LPL personnel, but the overall situation in the transfer period was okay, and the top Korean players in the LPL basically stayed.
At the same time, the LPL has also failed to achieve its goal of recruiting top players, and the recent interview with Showmaker has also caused heated discussions among the audience.
Showmaker players are one of the key recruitment targets in the LPL division, and through a series of clues about the transfer period, the team that most wants to introduce Showmaker is EDG, and EDG has released news many times before, including LCK saying that LPL has teams that want to introduce top Korean aid with exceptional treatment.
Lao Yue also said before that the ideal lineup for EDG's new season is Showmaker in the middle and Viper in the bottom lane.
On the LCK side, the transfer period is over soon, and the Gen team directly introduced Canyon players to form a top configuration, but Showmaker finally chose to stay in DK, DK will focus on cultivating newcomers next year, and Showmaker, as a former champion midlaner, will probably not be able to enter the ranks of competing for top results next year.
Many viewers were surprised by this, and Showmaker also talked about the transfer period in a recent interview, saying that he did have the idea of coming to China during the transfer period, but considering that it may be tiring to come to China, and his physical condition is not very good, he finally chose to stay in DK.
As for other LCK teams, Showmaker said that he had never considered it, and it was better to retire from other LCK teams.
Showmaker ended up accepting a three-year contract with the DK team, which surprised viewers even more, because it meant that it would be difficult for Showmaker to leave DK in the future, and if DK didn't invest a lot of money to improve the team's configuration in the future, Showmaker's career would go on an irreversible decline.
Showmaker himself has not considered this, but Showmaker's desire to stay in DK is very strong, and he also said that he has the idea of one person and one city, although he has the idea of wanting to come to China during the transfer period, but it is just an idea, and after thinking about it a little, he feels that it is not feasible, so he denied it, in fact, he has always wanted to stay in DK.
This spirit has been admired by many audiences, and Showmaker is indeed a professional player who attracts people, but he chose to stay in DK, definitely not just because he wants to stick to one person and one city, but also for some deep-seated reasons.
Combined with some interviews with Showmaker, we can draw some conclusions about his real thoughts, in fact, Showmaker once admitted that he no longer has that much love for League of Legends, and his previous love for League of Legends may have been 100%, but it has slowly decreased to 10%, and the rest is work.
Personally, I think that with Showmaker's current mentality, signing a three-year contract is a very correct choice, and if Showmaker goes to other teams with stronger configurations, it is likely that he will not get a three-year contract, because in this era, many teams that pursue results and invest a lot of money in a certain transfer period are more willing to sign players for one year.
After signing a contract for one year, renew the contract if the results are good, give up if it is not good, and then test the water in the transfer period, and in recent years, the value of League of Legends e-sports players has actually generally declined.
Showmaker's current situation is that he himself is not sure whether he can play well in the future, if he goes to LPL, he has to learn XiChinese, and at the same time he has to work hard to maintain his own state, and he has to adapt to the new training and diet environment, overcome all these problems, and bear the pressure of **, if he can't play the results, he will smash his own signboard.
Once you sign a short contract, if you don't play well, it will be very difficult to get a good contract in the future, just stay in DK, and the three-year contract will be stable in hand, with many benefits, first of all, you are the boss of the team, the status of the team is high, and secondly, the environment is comfortable, and you can get a good reputation, and finally you can go according to the club's plan, if the configuration is not good, you can rest more, configure well, and work hard to achieve results.
