The six players were so excited about the big win tonight that they could hardly sleep, especially Saber in the middle lane. He was happy that the team won, but he was also under a lot of pressure.
In fact, the manager of UP was also tossing and turning.
He didn't expect such a result.
Originally, they had completely given up. They never expected that their second team would actually have a major player Qingyue. Why was he so bad in LDL before?
It is said that Su Xiaoluo is a god of card drawing. Now it seems that he is not bad either. He is the god among gods!
The manager couldn't help but hum. If they can really get a good ranking, UP may be able to hold on for another year.
At that time, they can use the results to attract sponsors. After all, the parent company has given up and didn't allocate much money this year.
That's right, [Dissolution Concept God Talent One-click Equipment Matching] actually has little to do with Liang Yichen's win or loss in the game. It was the boss of the UP team who made the decision.
After the 2025 season, they submitted an application to the league again to request to buy back the seat.
Due to various reasons, especially the failure of the World Championship last year, the popularity of LPL has declined greatly, the attention has decreased, and the sponsors have withdrawn their investment.
It is okay for a famous and powerful team to live off its past achievements, but for a club like UP that is weak and poor, it is really a loss.
The team's income is linked to its strength, winning prizes for ranking in the competition, selling derivatives, and most importantly, sponsors.
UP's uniforms are very clean now, with nothing but the team logo and the league's general sponsor.
That's why they transferred people from the second team to give them the lowest salary.
Today, choosing to let Qingyue play is just to give her a chance. After all, it's not easy for the children. Maybe they will never be able to step onto the official stage again in the future.
Many old players can't find a job, let alone newcomers. I just didn't expect it to be effective.
And many people complained about the weak team:
This kind of game is really boring. There is no legs to watch in the pre-match interview, and there is no beautiful referee lady. The game is one-sided and the viewing experience is extremely bad.
This kind of game has to be played in a BO5, I don't want to watch it at all.
Why haven't they disbanded yet!
In fact, many teams are on the verge of disbanding this year, and the league has to start buying back seats, but the sales are over 100 million, and the buyback is 70% and 30%.
Why is it only 70%?
70% belongs to others!
UP also wanted to withdraw but was a step too late. It was not as decisive as RA, and signed and agreed directly.
Although it is said that anyone who wants to sell can buy back, the number is still limited, otherwise the league will lose half of the teams at once.
Openly and secretly blocking the review, using connections to pass the message, many teams have to buy some people with basic salaries to make do with the game and play as experience babies.
So only after the end of the first stage of the regular season will there be four generals, WE, UP, LNG, and FPX, who have not won a single game and are 0-3.
Of course, it is too early to think about it now. We have to wait until the end of the first stage to discuss whether to disband.
Lying on the bed, Liang Yichen was panicking because his right eyelid was twitching wildly, but fortunately it suddenly stopped and he went to sleep.
Back to the studio of Shanghai UP Club, Liang Yichen found that it was relatively simple, but the computer configuration was still good, and there was no problem in broadcasting the game live.
Rested on the day of returning, and continued training the next day.
The minimum salary is not so easy to get. The club has regulations on what to do every day, how many ranked games to play, and occasionally play training games.
But UP did not receive many offers. After all, playing chess with a bad chess player makes you worse. Who wants to compete with such a team?
Oh~
The three big kings mentioned above are more willing because they can't find other teams.
In addition, some teams that are in a bad state, such as RNG, EDG, and LGD, will also invite.
If a strong team comes to invite a training game, it is likely that they were slaughtered by another team and came to find achievements and feel.
Each player has his own hut. Liang Yichen's side is very clean, and there is a poster of the big devil on the wall.
After a short afternoon break and dinner, everyone was called to the meeting room.
The first item on the agenda was a comprehensive review of the last game, with a detailed description of the initial laning, eye position setting, line change process, team fighting operations, etc.
It lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening.
Liang Yichen was already listening and taking notes very seriously, but he still felt confused and didn't understand it very well.
But Liang Yichen knew the skills of holding meetings.
Head coach Benny knocked on the small blackboard and put forward his views.
"We shouldn't have outflanked here~"
Liang Yichen immediately gave a puzzled expression.
Tsk, huh?
Benny thought at this time, what's the matter, the small mid laner has other opinions, but he didn't say much because he was reviewing the game, but continued to talk.
When Benny finished speaking, Liang Yichen actually didn't understand why he did this, but he immediately showed an epiphany.
Oh, ah~!
Liang Yichen made Benny feel perfectly that he was impressed by the coach's operation, and he had a great enlightenment, and finally stood on the same team with the coach.
Small human relations, this is not easy to grasp!
Anyway, Benny was quite satisfied. He had never been treated like this before. He was really sensible.
"Everyone should think about it after going back. You should have a picture in your mind, and you should cooperate and communicate!"
"We will not have any games next. We will not play BO5 with OMG team until February 20 after the New Year. We can still win if we maintain the current state."
"Do you have confidence!"
"Yes!"
"In addition, RNG team will arrange a training match with us the day after tomorrow. This time, Qingyue, you will play."
"If you have nothing to do, go back and have a good rest, and continue basic practice tomorrow."
Playing training matches is not an option.
Liang Yichen's plug-in is only useful in official games. Although RNG's lineup this year is not too awesome, with the current strength, it will still be crushed.
So Liang Yichen shamelessly went to the coach.
"Coach, I have something to tell you."
After arriving at a quiet place, the coach reached out and patted Liang Yichen on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, you'll be the starting player in the match against OMG."
After the last BO5, Liang Yichen turned the tide and attracted countless attention. If he is not allowed to start in the next game, he will probably be criticized.
And this is how the game is played. Whoever has the strength, the best condition and the best results will play. This is the meaning of rotation.
Giving each other enough pressure can make progress.
Of course, the coach's choice of starting lineup also has a little other reason.
"Thank you, coach." Liang Yichen was naturally flattered. "It's just that, in the training match the day after tomorrow, I might~ just want to let~"
"It's okay, it's not like you haven't played before, just play as usual, but you have to be more careful, as a newcomer, you can't reveal too much, so as not to be studied thoroughly."
Yes, RNG's jungler milkyway was very fierce when he debuted last season, a rising star of glory, but after his style was understood, he was just like everyone else.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Liang Yichen could only bite the bullet and agree, and go with the flow.
"Coach, don't worry, I will never go all out in the training match."
"Well, but you have to be serious, don't be so crushing when you win, and don't be too embarrassed when you lose, go back and rest."
