I really didn't choose randomly

Chapter 520 The ending of returning to the starting point [Full text ends]

Shortly after successfully winning the S10 World Championship, the LPL ushered in the offseason, and major teams also ushered in the annual transfer period.

However, the head coach Yun Ge, who had just led IG to successfully defend the title, received bad news. The club's boss, Principal Wang, chose to divest from IG.

When he got the news for the first time, Yun Ge was also shocked because he successfully completed the gambling agreement with Principal Wang and led IG to successfully defend the championship.

However, just when he was preparing to establish a dynasty belonging to IG, the club suddenly announced that it would no longer play, catching Yun Ge off guard.

But facing the club owner's decision, as a wage earner, Yun Ge was not qualified to protest. The only thing he could do was to get his salary and the gambling agreement.

When faced with the club's request to renew the contract, Yunge hesitated, because among the requirements of the new contract, Yunge's first priority was to let Yunge negotiate with the players for a salary cut and sign the contract.

Currently, the contracts of IG players have expired, including Ah Shui, Xiao Leyan, Bao Lan, and Ning Wang, who is currently looking after the water dispenser. The contracts of TheShy and Rookie only have one year left.

If Yunge continues to renew his contract with IG, he must first resolve the issue of player contracts. Without sufficient funds, Yunge knows that he has no reason to cut players' salaries and stay on the team.

Faced with this difficult choice, Yun Ge chose to take a step back and reject the decision to continue to be the head coach on the grounds that his body needed rest.

However, shortly after Yunge and IG announced their departure from the team, the news was posted online by well-informed people, and it immediately aroused widespread discussion.

This news is like a haze, giving a hint of uncertainty to the new dynasty that will be established after IG wins the championship. The departure of the championship coach will give the team a period of turmoil no matter what.

"No, what are IG's management doing? Are they just letting coach Yunge leave?"

"Sure enough, IG's management has started playing tricks again. Without coach Yunge, where else would IG find such an excellent coach."

"Coach Yunge said he left the team due to physical reasons and will not coach other teams in a short period of time. We should respect his wishes."

"The earth will turn around for everyone. I think without coach Yunge, IG would still be invincible."

"Indeed, being a strong IG is not just a strong player. I can beat my opponents in every match. What does it have to do with Coach Yunge? I can do it even if I play."

"Just leave, maybe the next one will be better."

However, what most netizens did not expect was that Yunge's departure from the team was just the beginning. Shortly after Yunge was exposed, Ah Shui also announced that he had entered the transfer market, which indicated that Ah Shui's contract renewal with IG had failed.

Originally, Ah Shui had already planned to leave last year, but just to achieve the Triple Crown, Principal Wang spent a lot of money to renew his contract for another year.

Now that the rich man has completed his achievements and has no intention of continuing to invest, Ah Shui's departure from the team is expected. After all, if Ah Shui chooses to stay in the team, he will need to take the initiative to cut his salary by 50%.

For a player who is in his prime, this is definitely a humiliating offer and completely devoid of sincerity. Yunge just understands that this kind of condition is unacceptable to any professional player, so he has no intention of staying.

As the trident of IG and the most beautiful player in the team, Ah Shui's importance in IG is self-evident. Therefore, as soon as the news of Ah Shui entering the transfer market came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

It can even be said that it caused a huge earthquake in the LPL. Almost all teams in the LPL began to chase Ah Shui. After all, this is a tactic that kills two birds with one stone. It can not only obtain a strong player, but also weaken IG to a certain extent.

Some teams that had no idea about the AD position actually set their sights on Xiao Leyan. Although his reputation with IG was not that good, he was still the main player who won the championship for IG and played a full year of games.

The most important thing is that it is easy to use and not expensive, so Xiao Leyan’s transfer was faster than Ah Shui’s. VG took the lead and successfully acquired Xiao Leyan. They acquired Jiao Tailang from IG last year and won Xiao Leyan again this year.

Yan, I just started looking at IG.

With coach Yunge, Ah Shui and Xiao Leyan leaving the team one after another, news about IG has been flying all over the place throughout the offseason. Even TheShy and Rookie, who have one year left on their contracts, have teams starting to make offers.

But after seeing such a huge public outcry, Principal Wang had no choice but to take action again for the sake of IG's market value. He rejected any transfer requests from TheShy and Rookie, and then quickly won the new contracts of King Ning and Baolan.

One of these two players is a marginal member of the team, and the other has been watching the water dispenser for a year. The price is completely within the range that the club can afford.

After careful consideration, Ning Wang and Bao Lan did not choose to leave the team, and with the assurance of Principal Wang, they will still be the main players of IG in the new season.

As IG successfully solved the problems within the team, Ah Shui's future family also surfaced. The wealthy Taobo chose to take Ah Shui's big contract. They had coveted Ah Shui for a long time.

From this transfer, IG acquired Taobo's bottom duo Puff and Nanfeng. After Yunge got the news, he couldn't help but sigh, perhaps history really has its inertia.

Various gossips during the offseason have satisfied the needs of the fans, and the news about IG this offseason has made them full.

At the beginning of the new LPL season, there was a new face on the commentary desk. Yunge did not choose to continue coaching, but temporarily became a commentator and chose to look at the game in a different way.

But compared to Yunge, who was thriving on the commentary desk, the IG Dynasty, which had high hopes, failed in the new season.

IG's lineup does not seem to have changed much. It seems that the only player missing is Ah Shui, but the combat effectiveness has changed dramatically from last year.

King Ning, who had been looking after the water fountain for a year, was in a terrible state. The new Puff had no status in the team and was a very unfamiliar partner with Bao Lan.

Even TheShy, who was hot last year, and Rookie, the team's most stable core, have had various problems. TheShy plays more and more casually without anyone to restrain him.

Mafa, who has coached the team for many years, does not have much prestige and cannot control the players at all. The number of deaths in each game of TheShy begins to soar.

Rookie, on the other hand, has shown that he is not adaptable to the version. With IG winning three consecutive championships, Riot will of course take action against IG. Rookie's best Syndra and Tsar have been severely weakened, and the warrior-type mid laner has been strengthened, which has also squeezed out.

Suppressing the mage's living space.

If this is still just a problem for the players, then tactically, IG's performance has also begun to become chaotic. With the change of versions, all the tactical systems left by Yunge have become obsolete.

However, IG did not have the ability to develop new tactics, so IG became more and more passive in terms of tactical choices. IG, which had never failed before, began to fail one after another.

It would be fine if they were playing against a weak team. TheShy and Rookie could still lead the team to victory with their individual abilities, but in a strong matchup, IG completely lost its previous charm.

Facing IG with such a serious problem, the head coach who can solve the problem is already sitting in the commentary box. Yun Ge can't help but feel extremely emotional when he sees IG gradually becoming what he remembers.

However, he had no intention of taking action, because Yun Ge knew very well that IG's decline had just begun, and he understood that the contract renewal issue of TheShy and Rookie was IG's biggest problem.

To a certain extent, e-sports is also a game of capital. The moment IG fell into the trap and President Wang chose to divest, its fate was already doomed. No matter how strong Yunge’s coaching ability was, there was no way to save IG.

Yunge's plug-in ability is really not as good as Qian's, but all this has nothing to do with Yunge who has become a commentator. Maybe in the future, he may return to coaching, but not now.
