Chapter 464 Who Said that a Champion Coach Is Not a Champion?

Xu Ruoguang thought ROG was rich, but he didn't expect them to be so rich.

Because the contract they gave Xu Xiu is also the current maximum salary of the LCK.

There is one thing to be involved here, the difference in the competition area.

Logically speaking, the LCK currently has more champions, a higher level of competition, and a better environment and atmosphere, so the treatment of the players must be better, right?

Big mistake actually.

Among the current contracts in the major competition regions, the maximum salary of the LCK contract is not even as good as that in the European and American competition regions.

So which region is the richest?

Of course it is LPL.

Since the ten sons of Samsung came to China in S5, LPL has been giving LCK players a small salary shock.

At that time, the top star players in the LCK were equivalent to about eight or nine million for our side, which was already very high.

So what was the maximum salary on the LPL side at that time?

Fifteen million!

Directly pulled the gap of five or six million.

This is the confidence of LPL.

Can't beat it, can't you still buy it?

Faith in the competition area?

How many W's are there in the competition area?

In fact, this strategy really made many LCK players unable to refuse.

They may have wanted to refuse, but LPL gave too much.

Even more so today.

Just imagine, you are a top player in the LCK with a contract between 4 million and 7 million.

At this time, LPL throws an olive branch to you, and the price is tens of millions.

Who can stand this?

Only a player like Faker, who is close to the freedom of wealth, can refuse such a temptation.

And because of this, T1 had to split up the shares to appease the faker and improve the player's treatment as if facing a big enemy.

LPL pure big dog, too rich!

Before ROG invested in UR, it sought out top actuaries from major firms to conduct preliminary calculations on the investment.

Note that the investment they calculate themselves is the investment in LPL!

After investing in the LCK, apart from welcoming Xu Ruoguang, they actually didn't spend much money in their budget.

Uzi?

It's only a one-year contract, and Uzi's contract itself is a debt replacement with RNG, and it doesn't cost a dime, which is equivalent to RNG taking Uzi to pay off the debt.

Xu Xiu? Canyon? ghost? beryl?

These four are actually on youth training contracts.

The combined contract is less than half of the players in any position in the contract prepared by ROG.

It's that exaggerated.

Xu Ruoguang subconsciously felt that it was difficult for ROG to get out the money for the renewal of the contract. In fact, they could really get out the money. There was too much left over last year.

The people Xu Ruoguang chose at that time saved ROG so much.

Now this budget is still lying in ROG's account, it can be fully paid, and there is still leftovers.

The salary of the top professional players in the LPL is really not something that the top professional players in the LCK can touch.

Giving Xu Xiu a top-level contract is no pressure for ROG, and it even makes me want to laugh.

so cheap?

After carefully reading the contract, Xu Ruoguang also heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, I didn't expect it to be higher than the current quotation outside, are you so rich?"

He looked up, a little confused.

Now the LCK team's offer to Xu Xiu is only a five-year contract equivalent to 9 million a year.

Sounds like a lot of money, but actually...

Five years is too damn long, which means that Xu Xiu's next career can only end there if there is no accident.

And the club didn't want to raise Xu Xiu's price, no matter how well he played.

Isn't Mala Xiangguo just a long-term garbage contract in RNG?

Times move too fast, especially for esports.

In 2013, for the year of 9 million, players like Uzi will rush to sign.

It's 2023, you go to get a 9 million one-year contract, do you think top players will look at you?

The price of this contract is considered high in the LCK, but the duration is too long.

But even so, it is indeed considered a top salary.

And what kind of contract did ROG provide Xu Xiu?

A one-year contract equivalent to 11 million.

In fact, ROG originally wanted to give Xu Xiu a two-year contract.

At present, there is an unspoken rule about contracts in the league circle.

The contract is given for one year, which is no different from a VAM contract.

Players will feel oppressed, and the club will not lose much. At worst, it will stop the loss immediately after one year.

When such a contract is also a kind of pressure and mistrust for the players.

A two-year contract is a very important contract.

Because if you can't achieve results in two years, you may not be able to achieve them in another five years.

If you are given two years, it will not be as urgent and insecure as a contract signed once a year. When your value rises, we can get together and leave.

The rest is a three-year contract.

If the one-year contract is a bet against the players, and the two-year contract is to recognize your potential, then the three-year contract is to reassure the players.

With a three-year contract, no matter how poorly he performs, at least there will be a guarantee. Generally, professional players only have three years at their peak.

Generally, a three-year contract will be followed by a sub-contract.

That is, if a player is still willing to stay in XX club after three years, even if he is not strong enough to serve as a starter, he can also become an assistant coach or even a middle-level manager of the club's management. 】

Are professional players retired and afraid that they will not be able to earn money if they have nothing to do? It's okay, just stay in our club, we will take care of arranging your post-retirement work for you.

This is a job with peace of mind, and it is also an expression of the players' trust in the club.

Of course, it’s not mandatory, and it’s okay if you don’t want to sign, but if you don’t sign the contract, you have to operate the live broadcast by yourself, which has advantages and disadvantages.

And the five-year contract is a contract that as long as there are self-motivated players, they should not sign it.

This is equivalent to a buyout contract.

The club makes a big investment and buys out your career.

No matter how well you play, it has nothing to do with you whether to increase the contract in the future.

Pure pension contract.

ROG's two-year contract is undoubtedly very important to Xu Xiu, and Xu Xiu chose a one-year contract, on the one hand, because he feels that he can improve and achieve higher achievements.

On the other hand, it was because he wanted to see what Brother Guang's decision would be.

If Xu Ruoguang renews his contract, he will renew his contract.

If Xu Ruoguang doesn't renew the contract, he will see where Xu Ruoguang goes.

If Xu Ruoguang retires...Xu Xiu can only make plans on his own.

Faced with Xu Ruoguang's question, ROG staff were a little surprised.

"Player Emporer, don't you usually pay attention to this news?"

"What?"

"The family bucket you endorsed is already selling like crazy."

ROG staff sighed,

"I heard that even the stock price of our family has been raised."

Xu Ruoguang:? ? ?

He didn't expect this.

In fact, the set of peripherals endorsed by Xu Ruoguang can no longer be said to be crazy.

But as long as players who pay attention to the game League of Legends, as long as they have the conditions, they will go directly.

This set of external pricing is actually not considered civilian, but it is not too expensive.

It belongs to the kind of price that is not too much pressure to bite the bullet.

Just like the notebooks of the Moba series, the main focus is a semi-sinking market.

Although there is always a classic price contempt link when it comes to peripherals like ROG, ROG is really... too good at making money.

Not only does each set of peripherals have its own independent number, but it also comes with an exclusive blind box, from which you can extract signed photos and blessings of UR team players.

This is updated every day, and a total of 77 photos can be extracted, including group photos and individual photos.

And the price is at most that all the players sign eleven autographs after training every day, and it doesn't even take five minutes, so they won't be tired at all.

Many rich brothers and sisters who play ROG are completely addicted to the charm of blind box (x) gambling () before they have time to despise it.

Once you buy it, there are dozens or hundreds of sets, and the rich brothers and sisters will directly release their cooking power.

It is different from the general products endorsed by idols. Although ROG likes to hit people, the quality of the products is really top-notch.

This is a peripheral. As long as the technology is still up to date, the second-hand price itself cannot drop too much.

You won't lose much if you sell second-hand, and you may even make money because of the serial number.

Under the influence of various factors, Xu Ruoguang's set of endorsement peripherals caused ROG's third-quarter financial report to rise directly and broke the record.

The boss of ASUS has been grinning from ear to ear these days.

When the person in charge of UR applied for funds from the parent company, he only nodded but did not shake his head.

"May I ask, what is your budget for this year?"

Xu Ruoguang smacked his lips and asked.

Naturally, the staff responsible for signing the contract cannot be low-level employees, and they naturally understand this aspect.

He thought for a moment and raised a hand.

"Hmm... As far as I know, it's okay to talk to Emporer."

"I heard that they plan to redecorate the base and further deepen the excavation of the commercial value of the surrounding areas and players."

"At least, not less than this number."

He compared his palms.

"That's the number."

Xu Ruoguang was dumbfounded.

This is capital?

"Soft girl coins?"

"Soft girl coins!"

"Ghost."

Xu Ruoguang was really shocked now.

This is too rich!

No wonder Xu Xiu was given the LCK maximum salary without hesitation.

In the following days, Xu Ruoguang, who had been with her for a while, put her on the plane and then returned to the UR base in Seoul.

And the turbulent transfer period has officially kicked off.

On the first day of the transfer period, KT took the lead, intending to seek UR's AD player ghost.

The equivalent offer is very sincere, almost at the top salary level of LCK's AD, second only to their original ADC, deft.

Of course, the UR side of deft's contract is unaware of it.

The reason why KT is looking for ghost is very simple, because KT and UR are actually very similar, they are both teams that focus on the upper middle field.

Ghost's performance in the World Championship this year has proved himself.

In the upper middle field version, such a stable ADC can make the team's tactics very comfortable.

As for deft...

KT's side can be summed up in one sentence: "I can't wait to see Ghost join our KT. As for deft, oh, I wish him all the best."

Deft is now an out-and-out low period.

Previous deft: Top laning team damage player.

The current deft: neither top level, nor laning, nor team play, nor output.

KT didn't even bother to hide it when they sent Ghost a buying message.

Get the hell out, Dai Darby!

Immediately afterwards, SKT sent out the second big news.

The top management of SKT has no intention of renewing the contract with peanut, and the double crown jungler Peanut may be forced to go to LPL.

I heard it's still LGD!

Hearing this news, the LCK audience didn't have any special reaction, and everyone in the LPL laughed first.

"DGL? Don't make me laugh."

"Our DGL is invincible!"

"Little Peanut is useless, can he beat Ultraman Gaia?"

"Ask if you don't understand, who is Gaia?"

"What cans? They are all junglers of light! Tiga bengi, Dyna peanut, Gaia Canyon!"

"It makes sense, the Heisei Three Heroes, right?"

"It's okay, Dyna really can't beat Gaia."

As the transfer period passed day by day, several players from UR became popular, and were offered by many LCK and even LPL or LEC teams.

But what seemed strange was that no one dared to make an offer to Xu Ruoguang.

Is it because they don't want to buy Xu Ruoguang?

no.

It's Xu Ruoguang's current liquidated damages and contract, which are too expensive!

The treatment given by ROG at that time, now after a year, there are still not many teams giving it.

Although they all know that the only disadvantage of expensive things may be expensive, but they can't afford them, what can they do?

Except for the LPL and Europe and the United States that still have a few rich and powerful teams making offers, the rest of the LCK teams are quiet.

For some LCK teams, Xu Ruoguang alone is worth as much as their entire team.

No kidding.

So Xu Ruoguang had a rare leisure.

In an ordinary apartment in Seoul, the former iron triangle of SKT gathered together again.

"Come here this time, and I will live with my brother during the New Year's Eve, do you understand?"

kkoma looks serious, but actually has a smile on his face.

"Understood bro."

Xu Ruoguang lay lazily on the sofa, turned around and kicked someone who was sitting on the other side of the sofa.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Lee Sang Hyuk, who was seriously watching the variety show on TV: ...

Mullet roe!

"Hehe, I am brother kkoma's eldest disciple, can you show some respect to me, senior?"

Lee Sang Hyuk sneered.

"You deserve it too? I laughed. When did you not get veiled by your buddies when you were facing each other?"

Xu Ruoguang laughed, and Li Xianghe's face became darker and darker.

Damn it, this hanging man, Manishiba is disgusting!

But there was really nothing he could do.

I really like Qing Gangying's saying: Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharp knife.

Although Xu Ruoguang's hanging words made Li Xianghe feel very uncomfortable, but...

Although very upset, but can not find any reason to refute.

This is the most angry!

Lee Sang Hyuk, it's tough.

Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about hard fists.

"Assi..."

kkoma had to come out and stop it,

"Give me some peace!"

He looked at Xu Ruoguang, a little helpless but still softly said.

"Ruoguang, they are all adults, can you not be so childish sometimes?"

"Understood, brother."

Xu Ruoguang replied lazily.

Lee Sang Hyuk's fist was a little harder, and this attitude made people angry!

However, before he could criticize Xu Ruoguang, kkoma had already started talking about him.

"Xianghe, you are really too. If only he is younger than you, he is just a child now. As an older brother, let him be more, right?"

"Could it be that he is naive, and you are also naive with him?"

Lee Sang Hyuk widened his eyes.

He has never been so wronged.

Brother kkoma, you!

Is such an obvious pull-off frame really good? ? ?

Lee Sang Hyuk sighed.

"I thought I was the only one here today, but unexpectedly, he came too."

"Oh, if I knew he was coming, I wouldn't have come."

Xu Ruoguang chuckled, "Why is Brother Kkoma's home your home? Can't I come if you come?"

"Oh, you'd better not come in the future."

"Just come and come!"

kkoma shook his head helplessly, went to get drinks for them, and couldn't help laughing,

"This is youth."

"When people are old, they will sigh this and that. Brother, you have become a complete Agassi."

Xu Ruoguang said coldly.

kkoma: ...

"You can say what you want."

Kkoma is used to it, Xu Ruoguang is hard-spoken and soft-hearted in his eyes.

Although sometimes it does make people's blood pressure rise, but it is undeniable that it is very comfortable to get along with him.

Several people watched TV quietly, and Lee Sang Hyuk asked suddenly.

"Haven't you thought about changing teams after this year's game?"

Xu Ruoguang wiped his mouth after drinking the drink,

"Change team? Where to change?"

"That's right. No one wants a player like you. If you really can't, come to our SKT. I can reluctantly mention it to the management."

Lee Sang Hyuk chuckled, the abacus was heard in G2 in Europe and America.

"I'm so unfamiliar, I'm so unfamiliar."

Xu Ruoguang sat up and stretched.

"Why do you want to go to SKT? It's true that Bang and Wolf have completely retired this time, right? It's not a rumor that there is a high probability that Wang will go to LGD, so why should I go to SKT?"

Lee Sang Hyuk thought for a while, a little shy, and said arrogantly.

"Then, isn't there still me? Why, don't you want to fight side by side with brother again?"

Xu Ruoguang rushed over and stared at Li Xianghe.

Lee Sang Hyuk felt uncomfortable being watched by him, "You, what are you doing?"

"Ah."

Xu Ruoguang sat back.

"What do you mean?"

Lee Sang Hyuk was a little annoyed.

"I don't feel like Xu Xiu...obedient."

Xu Ruoguang commented calmly.

"Ha!? Hahahahahaha?! Hahahahahahaha????"

Lee Sang Hyuk seemed to have been greatly insulted,

"Showmaker did perform well, but let me ask you, you have to be honest, is it better when you play against me, or when you play against him Xu Xiu?"

"When we matched up, I always had the advantage in the lane!"

Lee Sang Hyuk, completely crazy!

"Forget it."

Xu Ruoguang sighed, and looked at Li Xianghe seriously.

"I had a good time in UR, and you should have a good time in SKT too, Sang Hyuk."

"I miss our time very much, but don't say such unrealistic words, and SKT is unlikely to be willing to pay me liquidated damages."

His sudden lyricism flashed Lee Sang Hyuk's waist.

Lee Sang Hyuk was a little dazed.

Didn't he miss the time when he was young?

However, Lee Sang Hyuk, who held some grudges, turned his head away and sneered.

"No one wants you to come to SKT, stop being so sentimental, I just ask casually, Pu Xinnan is almost enough."

Xu Ruoguang: Ha [Sweaty Soybean]

What the hell did Gouba learn in the post bar, Lee Sang Hyuk? ! ! !

Thinking that one day in the future, Lee Sang Hyuk might put on a watermelon haircut and post a post, no one in his family would know.

Xu Ruoguang's expression gradually collapsed.

This scene is too difficult.

In the afternoon, Xu Ruoguang and Lee Sang-hyuk helped kkoma put up the Spring Festival couplets.

Although the transfer period has not completely ended, it has come to an end.

This year's transfer period is particularly long, and now it's almost the Chinese New Year.

The Chinese New Year in South Korea is called Shouzheng, but the meaning is still the same, and Spring Festival couplets must be posted.

However, Xu Ruoguang's expression was very strange.

In China, the Spring Festival couplets posted during the New Year are all black on a red background, and the picture is a celebration.

AUV, guess what?

For this thing in Korea, Goba is written in black and white on a white background!

After Xu Ruoguang got it in his hands, although he knew that this might be a custom in Korea, he still felt a little weird.

Because this thing is usually posted in China when doing white things.

After posting the Spring Festival couplets, it is natural to start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner at night.

Originally, brother kkoma planned to cook by himself, so he could treat his two favorite students well.

However, Xu Ruoguang ruthlessly refused.

After coming to Korea for so long, he is still not used to Korean food.

Yes, it is food, there is no food culture.

In Xu Ruoguang's eyes, what they eat is not even a food culture, it doesn't exist at all.

If it wasn't for ROG's kindness to find several master chefs from various major cuisines from China, Xu Ruoguang would have had problems eating this year.

The tastes are so different. The kimchi that Koreans love to eat is an appetizer in China.

And the special gourmet troop pot that many of them are proud of...

According to Ning Wang Ah Shui’s private dinner with Xu Ruoguang: It feels like it’s not as good as the Northeast Nagada’s Chaos Stew, at least the Northeast Chaos Stew is really willing to put meat, rather than giving you a few broken B ham sausage luncheon meat.

And Xu Ruoguang, who grew up alone, naturally has a cooking skill that is not bad among ordinary people.

When eating at night, kkoma's wife was full of praise.

Yes, kkoma got married this year.

Time is such a thing, it has changed a lot of things before you are aware of it.

At this time, kkoma was also the one who could laugh and sit in the auditorium with Mr. An, and they could chat and laugh happily with the contestants: Xiba, these virgins really made me laugh to death.

At night, bright and eye-catching fireworks have risen above Seoul.

The three of them watched intently, breathing in the light night time, the air full of fireworks.

Literally full of fireworks.

"It's a new year soon, keep working hard."

kkoma smiled slightly and said.

"Um."

"good."

At the same time, in the EDG club that has been on vacation, only the current assistant coach Ming Kai and Abramovich, who has been promoted to the management team, are still busy.

"Huh?"

Abu saw a message, clicked on it, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"U...R?"

Ming Kai didn't turn his head,

"UR? Isn't that Xiaoguang's team? What happened to UR?"

Abu was silent for a moment.

"They sent an invitation, asking if you would like to be UR's assistant coach."

"Oh, there is another message from Xu Ruoguang alone."

"He said...Changzi, are you coming? S9 will bring you to the championship. Who says a champion coach is not a champion?"

"What?!"

EDG's club is a mess.
