Chapter 2 Kang Dong Geun
Jiang Donggen has just reached the age to compete this year. He reached it in the middle of the summer split. He has been training with the team before.
This kid was actually famous in China and South Korea as early as S4. His Leopard Girl, Jess, and Raven were all top-notch.
At that time, they were known as the strongest Leopard Girl and Raven in the Korean server. In a ranked game in S4, his Raven melted the world finals champion AD Gu Shengbin XBZA in half a second, which made everyone watching OB eat melon
All the players who were ranked on the spot were stunned.
He has top-notch talent and is a player who is very detailed in his operations, but his career path has been full of ups and downs.
He has interviewed with all the major teams in the LCK, but no team has allowed him to join the team, and they have not even put him on the bench or even on the second team.
Why?
Are the management, coaches, and analysts of these teams all blind, stupid, and mentally retarded?
Even if some individuals do have problems, it is unlikely that so many teams will have problems, but none of these teams will leave behind this shy-looking child.
Why?
Choose a joke that later became widely circulated:
It was said that Jiang Donggen went to T1 for trial training and performed extremely well. From development, team play to all kinds of details, he was very good. I knew this child's talent.
Then T1's coach asked: "If you finish clearing your own jungle area in five minutes, what will you do next?"
Oh, at that time he was interviewing for the jungle position in T1.
Then the simple Jiang Donggen said: "Go to the opposite jungle to kill the opponent's jungler alone."
T1 coach:……
RBQ RBQ
Maybe this isn't true, but it probably means something similar.
According to Wang Zilong's understanding of Jiang Donggen, he actually understood it correctly.
Can he find the opposing jungler?
There is a high probability that you can find it!
So can he beat the opposite jungler?
able!
Even someone as powerful as Wang Zilong is afraid of the operation of this kid Jiang Donggen. Based on the ranking he has experienced, whether it is a professional player or a passer-by player, the number of people who can interact with him will definitely not exceed one hand.
Maybe even none!
Kang Donggeun is so strong!
Perhaps, only their opponent in this year's global finals, the ace player Fick, can match him, or the S3 Fick who can even dodge the opponent's basic attacks.
Now, it may not work.
So why didn't those coaches recruit Jiang Donggen? Even if they didn't know Jiang Donggen as well as Wang Zilong, they should be able to feel that Jiang Donggen was definitely no worse than any of their players, or even better.
Because Jiang Donggen's idea is too risky, the LCK team is not suitable for players with his style of play, and any team that wants to achieve some results will not take this risk.
They would rather choose a mediocre player who obeys tactical instructions than a risk-taking bomb player like Kang Donggen who has overwhelming confidence in himself.
Although the LCK during this period, including the current LCK, was not as conservative and superstitious in operations as it was later, their strategy of playing tactics first, version first, team first, and safety first has never changed.
Therefore, they don't need this kind of double-edged sword player, especially in the jungle position, which is related to the overall rhythm of the team.
They didn't agree with what Jiang Donggen said, "I killed the opponent's jungler so that he couldn't lead the rhythm."
This involves fundamental differences in concepts between the two parties:
The LCK coach believes that if you want to win the game, you must implement a situation of more against less through vision, support and linkage;
Jiang Donggen believes that as long as he kills the opponent alone, he will not be able to support his teammates. In this way, he will not only get the opponent's 300 yuan head economy, but also the opponent's jungle resources. In the end
Occasionally, you can help your teammates along the way, and the team will naturally gain an advantage.
Well, you can't say that the coach is wrong, after all, they won't encounter players like Kang Donggen and Lee Sang Hyuk repeatedly.
At first, Jiang Donggen was desperate. He felt that he could not find a professional team that wanted him. He thought about whether to go to China and give it a try.
Korea has no chance!
However, at this moment Wang Zilong took action.
He has met this kid many times in ranked games, both as an opponent and as a teammate.
He saw a talent that made him envious, but at that time he couldn't speak.
Not to mention that he is a foreign player, even if he is the ace player of the club, it will not work. In South Korea, a highly professional country, the status of a player is far inferior to that of the coach, let alone the supervisor who determines the fate of the players.
.
At that time, the frustrated Wang Zilong united with a few people who were also frustrated and had good relationships to start a new journey. After he found out about Jiang Donggen, he recruited him.
Anyway, he is not old enough to play, so there is no need to pay him much money. He only needs to take care of the food, give him some subsidies, play training games and live broadcast rankings in normal times.
Let’s explain the situation of Wang Zilong’s frustration:
The club he passed the trial training with was the KT team, and he was the main player of team B for a period of time. However, the team's strong players either went to team A or were poached by the wealthy LPL, so his results were not very satisfactory.
As the two Samsung teams swept other teams in the world championship, Riot Games issued a rule that a club can only have one team in a top league, and then KT began to lay off employees.
After Wang Zilong served as a substitute for a period of time, he still did not get a chance to play, and there was no hope of making a difference.
So he left the KT team after his contract ended and was ready to see if he could find opportunities in other clubs.
However, the ending disappointed him, not because he didn't want to play, but because no one wanted him.
At that time, even if the LPL was poaching players from the LCK, they were only poaching top players who were successful or had economical potential.
They look down on players like Wang Zilong who are neither high nor low, even if he is a Chinese player.
So he attracted sponsorship from the Sharks and planned to start from the secondary league and prove himself again.
Most of his current teammates were gathered at that time. The top laner was Smiple, who was similar to him and had suffered losses from the latest Riot rules. The jungler (at the beginning) was the veteran Li, and the mid laner was also with Wang Zilong and Si.
Maipu also suffered from the bitter meat from Najin. AD is the veteran Puri who won the OGN (predecessor of LCK) league championship but had not played any games in the previous year. His support is Wang Zilong.
Well, we also need to add young Jiang Donggen.
These guys who were either not wanted or couldn't play in the game formed a team in the secondary league and started their sprint journey.
