As of February 25, the LPL's new season spring season regular season has passed the halfway point, and the League of Legends has recently officially updated the LPL player contract library. Don't look at it, don't know, look at it and be shocked! Judging from the deadline of the player's contract, there will be many star players in the S12 winter transfer market facing the choice of new owners, and the strength and weakness of the LPL team may change greatly. Perhaps, the S12 World Championship will determine the fate of many teams! Once the results are not good, the team lineup faces restructuring and adjustment. The LPL has 17 teams this season, and the LCK next door has only 10 teams, and it's no surprise that both divisions are competing for 4 world spots. The pressure and competition of 17 into 4 is much greater than that of 10 into 4! Before the start of the S12 Spring Games, many commentators were optimistic about the lineup of EDG, RNG, LNG, TES, WBG and BLG. Although TES's poor performance fell behind after the start of the spring games, TES quietly came to the 7th place in the spring standings after adjustment. With the sudden rise of WBG and V5, this season, the competition for world places in the LPL division is destined to be very fierce. Let's take a look at the contracts of the players in the first echelon of the LPL!
Judging from the current results of this season's spring games, the first echelon of the current LPL is mainly "5G": V5, EDG, WBG, LNG, RNG, BLG. In addition, TES, which is left behind in the spring game, cannot be ignored, and the performance of the summer game is the top priority. First look at the EDG team (as shown in the figure below), the contracts of the lower combination meiko+viper, the single scout, and the upper road flander will expire on November 22 this year. It can be seen that the pressure to defend the title of edg is very large. However, I personally feel that even if edg's world record this year is not good, the probability of the next combination + the middle road renewal is extremely high, and the only variable is the road flander. After the spring game edg was defeated by WBG and V5, the Holy Gun Brother suffered a lot of criticism, and the pressure of public opinion was greater.
The contracts of WBG and TES team players are shown in the figure below, first of all, the WBG team, except for the contract of the next combination Huanfeng+On, which expires in November 2023, and the contract of Ue nakano (theshy+angel+sofm) will expire on November 22 this year. WBG Spring Play is very good, currently at the top of the standings for the time being, as long as Ue nakanosuke does not make trouble, the upper limit of the WBG lineup is very high. There is a saying that the program effect of each game of WBG Ueno is full, looking forward to the performance of the WBG playoffs, and the spring game is very promising to win the championship. The TES team is more variable, and if S12 does not perform well, it is likely to face reconstruction. The contracts of jackeylove+knight will expire on November 22 this year. The transfer period to join the zoom, tian, xiaopeng these three people contract is only one year, it can be said that the S12 season of the TES lineup is limited, double C to stay to see how far TES can go this season. Years ago, after winning the German Cup, Tes suddenly fell into trouble, the spring results were not as good as expected, and the players were frequently rotated. Years later, TES welcomed a wave of 3 consecutive wins through lineup adjustments, and the next opponent was EDG, looking forward to TES's next performance on the field.
The BLG team has earned a lot of eyeballs in the previous transfer market, and the addition of Uzi has made BLP one of the most talked about teams in the LPL. Judging from the player contract library, the blg lineup is relatively stable. Although UZI has only signed for one year, the probability of renewing the contract is extremely high. Previously, it was revealed that Uzi will sign a contract for live broadcasting of station b after ending Huya's live broadcast contract.
Finally, let's look at the player contracts of LNG, V5 and RNG. As shown in the chart below, the LNG team's contracts will expire on November 22 this year, with the new assistant lvmao and Nakaji Doinb both signing for one year. Obviously, the LNG team's record this season will determine the players' fate. V5, who played well in the spring this season, also faces the trouble of happiness, and the contracts of the starting lineup of Uenakano: rich, Karsa, rookie are all due on November 22 this year. But Rich is '98, Karsa and Rookie are '97, both veterans. Given V5's good spring record, if the summer game continues to be in the same state, there is no reason not to renew the contract.
All RNG team players' contracts will expire on November 22 this year. RNG in recent seasons of turmoil, S11 world, there were rumors that RNG was going to be acquired by ByteDance, and later provoked RNG officials to come out to refute the rumors. During the S11 winter transfer period, peers in the e-sports circle also broke the news that the rng boss had no money to engage in e-sports and might sell the team. In addition, MLXG and the old owner tore their faces to expose the RNG wage arrears incident. Just when everyone felt that Rng had no money, Rng signed a bind to strengthen the lineup, spent a high price to dig up a soup in the afterlife, and moved to a new home (a villa with more than 600 square meters in Shanghai). It can be seen that RNG still wants to fight in the S12 season. In contrast, SN directly sold the LPL seat to Weibo after the financial problem broke out, and chose to quit. Judging from the players' contracts, RNG's lineup this season is also limited. As an old club in the LPL, RNG has won more championship honors, except for one S championship, looking forward to RNG's performance this season!
Summary of personal analysis
S12 winter transfer period market, free agent star players a lot, like the single has theshy, holy gun brother, ale, zoom; bin, etc., in the single rookie, socut, doinb, xiaohu, knight, angel, etc.; auxiliary ming, meiko, etc.; the next road ad has JackeyLove, gala, light, lwx, etc.; playing wild has sofm, wei, Karsa, tian and so on. Needless to say, the S12 World Championship will dominate the fate of multiple teams. The fate of players is largely determined by the results of their respective teams. In particular, teams represented by RNG, LNG, and TES may face reconstruction once they fail to achieve the desired results. In the end, which team do you think might be reduced to a "supermarket"?
