Chapter 387 A New Starting Point, a New Team

Hangzhou.

LGD Club.

Office.

"RuRu, you're making me dizzy by walking around like this."

Pan Fei flicked the ash off his cigarette and protested in a low voice: "It's already here, what's the point of getting angry?"

"What do you mean it's already here? Do you mean I'm sorry for him?!"

The Queen Mother walked around the room like a lion, arms folded across her chest. Except for Mr. Pan, who was trying to persuade them, no one else had any desire to talk.

In fact.

They couldn't stay anyway.

Even if Qin Hao was soft-hearted and the budget was used to keep the mid laner, what then?

You can't expect Penicillin and a few second-team rookies to impact the dynasty. To put it bluntly, it's just that the business is good this year, otherwise the seat fee alone can drain the budget.

The era of gold and silver has arrived.

LGD has so little arms and legs, what can it use to compete with e-commerce. JDG can offer IMP an annual salary of 30 million for 2 years, and playing for one year is equivalent to playing for four years in LGD. How many four years can a professional player have?

"The takeaway has arrived."

The aunt came in with a big bag of lunch, ignored the atmosphere in front of her, put it down and left.

"Eat something first." Pan Fei advised again: "You haven't eaten anything since this morning."

"Leave it there, I don't want to eat."

RuRu was in no mood to eat.

From the news that Penicillin was suspected of leaving the team to the present, the calls from the sponsors have never stopped.

What's more annoying is that the opponent was so cruel that she didn't give her a chance to play the emotional card.

From beginning to end.

It was the agent who came forward.

She felt that if Qin Hao had a conscience, he should understand her difficulties.

She was a woman, fighting alone in such a jungle society.

Not only did she make LGD a talent cradle for CN Dota, but she also cultivated two domestic genius mid-laners, Godv and Penicillin. When other teams had to find Korean aid mid-laners to touch the threshold of the world competition, only LGD was proving the value of Huazi's mid-laner.

What's more.

Her weakness has always been useful. If she said a few words that you don't have this family, most of the players couldn't stand it. It's not like she didn't know that she was a little too cold to Qin Hao, but she didn't expect Qin Hao to be so cold-blooded at such a young age!

She hated herself for not being vigilant enough?

That's right.

From MSI to the end of the World Championship, Qin Hao has been attending business events, even if he has a cold face, but most professional players are homebodies, so it's normal that they don't like to run around.

She didn't think anything was wrong, and was thinking about mending the relationship when renewing the contract, using money and affection to exchange for warmth...

"Ahem."

In the corner, the LOL division manager spoke up: "We this year?"

RuRu glanced at him: "What do you think."

"Seven sponsors have said they will not renew the contract." The division manager stated the substantial difficulties: "This season, the goal can only be the playoffs."

"Is it so shameless?" Someone next to him muttered: "Two championships can't attract sponsors?"

"He dislikes our high price."

"Why didn't he dislike it before?"

"Nonsense, how can a club compete with popular players for traffic? Recently, there is Penicillin on Weibo every day..."

"Don't mention him!"

RuRu suddenly burst out: "24 million a year, Top is breaking the rules."

If LGD hadn't won the championship, RuRu would not have signed with Penicillin for only one year. Because after retaining the championship team, she felt that at worst they could enter the world championship, and they would definitely not lose money.

But what is Top doing.

Giving away the money to the poor, it's a sin!

The good old days of tying up a player for hundreds of thousands of dollars are gone, and all the risks are transferred to the club. If the club spends money but fails to perform well, it is impossible to even stop the loss. The club will become a free agent at the end of the year.

Even clay people can get angry.

RuRu was so angry that her voice changed: "I want to see how Top ends. It would be best if the two sides go their separate ways after a year to teach Top a lesson."

Thinking that Top had been running-in for a year and was just qualified to compete for a spot and prepare to compete for the championship the following year, Penicillin repeatedly tore off its warm side during the transfer period -

Thinking of this, RuRu was even a little happy.

E-sports is not such a good job.

Rather than trusting character, it is better to trust contracts.

"What about Eimy?" Pan Fei reminded: "Several clubs have offered us prices, but they all said our price is too high."

"This is a two-time champion jungler."

Pan Fei was silent for a while, "The top few clubs don't need junglers, and the ones that lack junglers don't want to pay a signing fee of 10 million."

"What does he think?"

"He said he wants to rest."

"What about Karsa?"

"His contract is more complicated." Pan Fei reminded tactfully: "If we don't sell him, when Eimy becomes a free agent, we will..."

"What is the highest offer?"

"Three million signing fee."

Ruru stamped her feet: "I would rather let him rot in my hands than sell him cheaply."

Eimy is a champion jungler after all, who can bring attention to LGD and retain some fans.

"Have you talked to C-Bo?"

When it comes to PYL, the team leader is more energetic: "He is considerate of the club and is willing to stay with the team."

This is the only heartwarming news that RuRu has found in so many days.

~~~

C-Bo: Brother, there is nothing I can do. I want to relax a little.

Send the message.

I saw smlz asking him about the tryout again, Cbo replied a few words, and then closed the WeChat interface to continue watching the anime.

These days, PP has chatted with him a lot.

But.

He has been in LGD for too long, and in the last years of his career, he just wants to relax a little and do something else. In order to win consecutive championships, he insisted on high-intensity training.

If Qin Hao hadn't fed him some chicken soup when he was free, he would have quit long ago.

Even so.

After winning the championship, he still felt empty inside.

When the passion faded, only fatigue remained——

When he thought of the endless ranks and training matches, Cbo really didn't have the courage to continue to stay with Qin Hao. What's more, he didn't touch the game for a month, and the adjustment speed was too slow.

Rather than dragging down the new AD partner and being looked down upon by others, it is better to stay in LGD and play with his mouth. Retire and go to the commentary stand to watch his brothers play games.

Compared with some players, he has his own life plan.

If he was still 20 years old, he would definitely continue to fight, but he is 24 now, and he should think about the way to retire. For him, the biggest benefit of staying in LGD is that he can retire with a good reputation among passers-by.

And once he transfers.

In addition to a higher salary, he will inevitably be looked at by the fans of the new team with a magnifying glass.

He is not a monster like Pu Pu and PP. He also knows that he is a little dizzy when playing games and can't remember so much information.

What's more, the preseason version has changed a lot.

From the rune system to the jungle and then to the vision, compared with S6 and S7, it's like two games.

It was the offseason, so he went to the Korean server to play two games, but he didn't figure it out at all.

He is an elderly support.

The learning cost is so high?

After getting used to the values ​​of the essence, C Bo is very indifferent to the new rune system.

What determination system, domination system, precision system, sorcery system, enlightenment system, I can't even understand it, let alone study it.

And in the outside world.

With many big Vs breaking the news that Top is suspected of winning the grand prize.

Under the official blog of Top, which has just been renamed, there are tens of thousands of comments.

"Is it right this time?"

"Hello, hello, open the door, I'm a Topsports fan."

"How do you know I'm an old Top fan?"

"Who is Top?"

"Can Qingshen be interested in such a team?"

"..."

Some people joined in the fun, while others didn't believe it.

But because many big Vs swore that the investor behind Top was Belle International, there would be big moves in the new season.

So under the leadership of some yellow cards, Top's official blog suddenly gained more than 100,000 followers.

"We haven't even made it public yet."

Office.

Guo Hao once again lamented that he was lucky enough.

He has been in the e-sports circle for three or four years, but this is the first time he has personally experienced the market feedback brought by the LPL's No. 1 traffic star.

Just a little bit of gossip can seduce so many netizens. It must take off after the official announcement.

A few minutes later.

The deputy happily reported the news: "In the morning, I received 20 calls asking about the trial time. There is no need to run around."

"By the way, Cvmax doesn't have too many requirements for annual salary, but let us set up a competition and training team."

"It's fine as long as he is willing to make the request."

For Guo Hao.

This is another good news.

With a suitable BP coach and the first mid laner, it feels that many things are very simple. Unlike when I just took over DAN, I had to worry about everything.

"Take this opportunity to let the second team members come to recognize their faces." The deputy said happily: "This kind of opportunity to observe the top mid laner handling the game up close is not always available."

Speaking of this, the deputy was very emotional: "I didn't expect Kouma to leave SKT. He is a signboard of SKT."

"He wants to adjust himself." Guo Hao can understand.

While chatting, thinking about the future, Guo Hao felt particularly energetic.

How did you say that sentence? I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary team, but now I'm showing my cards. Hey, I have a top streamer.

Thinking of this, Guo Hao pondered: "Do you think we should make the joining ceremony more stylish?"

The deputy said inexplicably: "Hasn't the contract been signed?"

"I don't think issuing an announcement can show the enthusiasm of the club."

Guo Hao seemed to have made up his mind: "How much trouble has his joining saved us? It shouldn't be too much for us to pay for a vlog."

The deputy's mind was instantly confused.

Shooting a vlog?

Why is it like a wedding, and it's kept as a souvenir, right?

The problem is that other clubs all issue announcements. When Uzi set a record for the sky-high transfer fee, it was not so high-profile-at that time, Uzi was almost tricked by OMG to give up playing professionally.

"It's not high-profile either. Mercedes-Benz shot a commercial for him, and he was the protagonist in the promotional film shot by Fujii. We are just a little bit."

Compared with the above.

It doesn't cost much.

When it comes to the last sentence, Guo Hao took out the ambition that pestered Belle International to acquire DAN: "It's arranged like this!!"

"That..."

The deputy didn't know what to say.

However, considering the efforts Guo Hao has made and the boasts he has made, it seems that it is really nothing to spend some money to be high-profile.

Let alone just recording vlogs, if someone can help Top increase his fans by hundreds of thousands through gossip and become the top three traffic teams on Weibo, he would be willing to serve tea and water every day.

Compared with work and bonuses.

What does the face of an adult mean?

~~~

Training room.

Sitting in the corner, the Maoqiu brothers watched as players came one after another to grab their jobs. To be honest, when they learned that Penicillin had joined Top, they were confused.

Before they could be overjoyed, Brother Hao took their original team to have a meal.

On the dinner table.

Guo Hao drank the wheat drink, his eyes were a little red. After recalling the life of struggling in Class A, he stood up and raised a glass to thank them for fulfilling one of his dreams.

Then there is the classic get-together and get-away.

Karin, the second brother, and Lise were all good-natured people, and they agreed to leave on the spot. They were the only two who were still under contract, and Guo Hao offered to help find a team.

that's all.

The third week of November.

Mao Qiu got up at noon and found that Guo Hao was particularly excited. I look at the time from time to time and rub my hands together excitedly.

He guessed that Qingshen should have come up from his hometown. After all, Cvmax had taken over the trial training a few days ago and also invited some high-scoring players.

In such an atmosphere.

Cat had an inexplicable feeling of meeting a king, which made her feel very uncomfortable. After all, he has been with Guo Hao for so long, and he has never seen such a side of Brother Hao——

When he was competing for the LPL quota, he was Brother Hao's little baby, but now he has become Mrs. Niu!

This gap will be difficult for anyone to overcome.

"Eh..." Cat sighed softly.

On the other hand, Qiuqiu stood on tiptoe and looked towards the gate, looking expectantly.

Also, after chatting in the past few nights, the football king still thinks that he can cooperate with Penicillin, but he is not very willing to find another one.

"coming!"

Guo Hao answered the call in advance.

Cat didn't know what he said, but she saw a big brother holding a camera and adjusting the lens there.

"Should you be so exaggerated?"

It's respect enough to clean things up a day in advance. Is there anyone else following this? Cat didn't understand, but was shocked.

"This is FMVP." The ball king expressed his desire.

Look around.

First, a nanny car parked at the entrance of the base, and then Guo Hao waved and asked the camera crew to follow. Amidst a burst of cheers, Qin Haogang got out of the car with a bunch of flowers hung around his neck.

"this……"

Qin Hao was stunned.

The deputy manager of Top accompanied him all the way from the airport to now, making it impossible for him to close his eyes and concentrate. Okay, here we are at the base, and there is a welcome ceremony. The question was never mentioned on the phone.

Against the thought of "I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed."

The cameraman said: "Leave your steps a little looser and walk with more momentum... Hey, your arms should be wider. Hey, that's good."

Qin Hao has rich experience on camera.

After finally walking to the lobby on the first floor, Guo Hao touched a team uniform from somewhere and gestured: "Come here, take a picture with Brother Hao for me!"

"..."

In Guo Hao's gum-baring smile.

Photo freeze.

The atmosphere is harmonious.

Guo Hao took the suitcase and introduced the club's environment along the way.

The next day.

Qin Hao was chatting with Brother Mai about the preseason version, and Guo Hao suddenly rushed in: "Xiao Hao, I'm so impressed!" With Qin Hao's confused expression, Guo Hao talked about the reason for his excitement.

"Do you want to come to Top?"

"Yes, haven't I been contacting the competition and training team these days? I'm looking for connections with JDG to contact South Korea and ask if any analysts are willing to come to LPL.

As a result, I first received emails from Hongmi and Sun Dayong, and then received a call to cancel the horse. "

"Wait a minute, are you talking about the coach of WE?"

"right."

Qin Hao glanced at Brother Mai, "But we have a coach."

Hearing this, Cvmax waved his hand: "I want to study BP and other teams' games, and I don't have that much time to manage training."

Last year at LGD, Cvmax was a little unhappy.

Being accustomed to the working environment of the LCK, he felt that the LPL did not pay attention to the work of the competition and training team at all.

To put it harshly.

If the management is willing to spend more money, last year's LGD can become stronger. Take youth training as an example. With the same high-scoring players and the same training time, LCK can help players better adapt to the competition.

Maybe S+ level expressiveness is difficult to tap due to talent limitations.

But it is easy to cultivate world championship-level players in the LCK.

Therefore, many OB accounts are very strange. Why do they seem to come and go during the rookie period, but look again two years later, others have made a name for themselves in the LCK, and the original batch of domestic newcomers can still regress.

LOL is a game that has reached a professional level.

Knowing how to play is far better at completing the tasks assigned by the team than showing off the skills. There are many players in LCK who are not known for their operation or reaction, but have the qualifications to win the championship.

Even in the dark ages.

The LPL is not the LCK that loses on the operational side. On the contrary, it is the LCK that is willing to fight for the bayonet, and the LPL has some hope of winning.

"Although I hate the guy who buckled the horse, he has quite a lot of connections."

Got this comment.

Top signed a contract with a one-year price of 6 million yuan.

at the same time.

Knowing that Top was short of junglers, Kuama, who was far away in South Korea, took the initiative to recommend Peanut: "The jungle mechanism has been greatly changed. I believe Wanghu can take on more responsibilities."

In this update.

The chasing mechanism is changed to "Each large and epic wild monster gains 50 experience points."

In disguise, the game intensity in the wild area is increased.

Originally, the audience joked that jungle farming was not needed in S7. But now, junglers have more opportunities to perform, and counter-jungling is no longer a low-return thing.

Soon.

After signing GimGoon and Peanut, Kouma, Cvmax, Qin Hao, and Guo Hao got together again.

According to the survey done by Cvmax.

Kouma moved the mouse back and forth between the two videos.

In Cvmax's words, smlz is the kind of AD with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

His blood exchange skills are not detailed enough, his reaction is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, he doesn't pay much attention to small skills, and his understanding of the line of soldiers is very poor, but surprisingly, he dares to output in team battles, and his sense of distance control is obviously stronger than that of the line.

Of course.

What impressed Cvmax the most was not these, but the encounter with OMG in S7. He found that smlz didn't like to call junglers, wouldn't squeeze the team's protection, and didn't suck blood much.

What about the other one?

He also has a poor grasp of the line, but his blood exchange technique is better than smlz. However, his contract is with FPX, and he came to the trial with the support.

When Kouma put the target on smlz, Cvmax deliberately said: "Why him?"

"I heard that he has a good relationship with Xiaohao."

"Then what?"

"The training is about laning." Kouma analyzed: "The advantages and disadvantages of both are obvious. The place where the gap is easily widened is the team positioning."

"Being more familiar can help you integrate faster. That's right."

"You also choose people in SKT in this way."

"You know, few people refuse to be teammates with Xianghe."

Kouma smiled: "I have more experience than you in coaching super mid laners. After all, I have been coaching for four years."

Cvmax didn't know what to say for a while.

However.

He enjoyed the feeling of bickering. Heart's good-natured attribute made him unable to confront others.

More importantly.

The training group can indeed solve problems. The specific cooperation may be complicated, but laning is definitely a common problem encountered in training. No one else.

Qin Hao listened to the two mumbling for a long time.

Then Cvmax asked: "My idea is smlz plus Mark."

Thinking of the days when Dagou sent WeChat messages to criticize smlz, Qin Hao touched his wrist: "Huh?"

"This is your teammate, don't you have any ideas?" Kouma came over.

"Why don't you just let him be the supervisor!" Cvmax switched to Korean.

"Not impossible."

Kuma said calmly: "My status in SKT will not be higher than Xianghe."

"Wow, you dare to say this to the media?"

"If one of me and him must go, who do you think it will be?"

Kuma looked at Cvmax with a look as if he was a retard.
