Chapter 388: Demanding Wages, Phone Bombing, and the Door to a New World

Although the tryouts are over, the full list cannot be announced yet.

Although Guo Hao can't wait to announce the good news to the world and prove his eloquence and strength to the company and Top's fans, he doesn't dare to be the first to try it.

So.

He can only be excited alone, secreting dopamine all night long, and wake up every day full of energy.

Speaking of it.

He has been in the circle for three years.

In fact, he is still a little transparent.

But once the full list is announced, the whole network will know him. After all, he attracted Penicillin to join with his eloquence, and even the parent company looked at him with admiration! !

And the part that the circle thinks is against the rules is no different from a small fight for Belle International.

Otherwise, LPL is just a makeshift team.

The Internet cafe owners have been calculating for so long, and their minds are only on whether they will lose money or not, and how to stop the loss. They are afraid that they can't squeeze value from the players they "cultivate", so they come to deceive and sneak attack those 16 or 17-year-old youths to sign child labor contracts.

The most interesting thing is.

Most clubs are not as good as LGD.

At least LGD has never thought of making players slaves.

As an e-sports player, RuRu really plays Dota and really knows that the results are achieved by the players. She has witnessed many miracles and growth.

Some Internet cafe owners are actually just slave owners who buy and sell players.

As long as one out of ten people is successful, the previous training expenses can be recovered.

Oh.

If you really look into what he has trained.

It may be a room with a computer, and the cost of food is not guaranteed. After all, there are many stories of being deceived in the A-level league and TGA. There will be no growth there, and no one will help you realize your talent.

Of course.

Regarding the transfer part, there is no need to hide the coach.

When Top and smlz reached an agreement and completed the agreement with 4 million a year, at 2 pm that day, Top’s official blog welcomed the arrival of Cvmax and Kouma.

It was like a boulder falling into a boiling pond.

Netizens who were bored by the breath-holding meeting soon became excited.

Or so.

It was surprising enough that Top could sign Cvmax. As a coach who likes to tell the ‘truth’, the interview he gave after winning the championship is still being scolded by some Korean netizens.

Why?

No matter how many winners and losers there are, there are still people who can’t stand Cvmax’s mouth. With new and old hatreds added together, many people think he is pretending. He is obviously a stinky dog ​​in his career, but he still barks so much.

Commenting this and that every day, why didn’t he play hard when he was playing professionally? Did he not want to or could not do it.

Of course.

The most important news is that Kouma became a top coach. Before this, LPL invited Kouma many times, but no club could do it.

Just like some things, they cannot be completely measured by money.

The biggest problem of the North American division is not unwillingness to invest, but the inability to give players a sense of security. The sense of security here does not refer to life, but to results.

Otherwise, there would be no saying in the industry that people go to North America for retirement.

The news came out.

It became a hot search in an hour.

No matter how much SKT fans scold Kouma for being stubborn and poor in key game BP. But he is one of the faces of LCK. He is the man behind Faker.

[Am I still asleep? ! ]

[Too crazy, I never thought Kouma could transfer to the LPL region, I think he has no shortage of work. ]

[Nonsense, didn't you read the long post on SKT's official blog? He took the initiative to leave the team, and the management begged but it was useless. ]

[Didn't he say that he was under a lot of pressure and had neurasthenia? Isn't it stressful to come to Top? If there is no results, he will still be questioned. ]

[Still saying that Top is unworthy, it is Belle, Adidas and other international brands behind it. Sales and promotion in China are all involved. By the way, last year's financial report sales revenue was more than 30 billion. ]

[Not only that, the industry should know that this is Hillhouse Capital's proposal for Belle International to participate in the layout of e-sports. A few days ago, the CEO of Top Sports participated in an event and said: The concept of sports is extending, and e-sports has become a part of it. ]

[Shoe sellers are also engaged in e-sports? ]

[This seems to be what Qingshen said - I don't know if e-sports is a sport, but we never lack the desire for victory. ]

[Good guy, it's confirmed, the CEO has also read Qingshen's Weibo! 】

【I said it, why did PDD say on his livestream a few days ago that his e-sports dream was shattered, and that 35 million yuan couldn't buy a seat. It turns out that LPL has entered the era of capital. 】

As long as you go online.

You will leave traces.

And most netizens are sources of information.

From Fujii Sports' continuous use of multiple front-page headlines touting the success of the Bird's Nest Night, to PDD's suspension of livestreaming being jokingly called "three trips to the Huangpu River to negotiate with the league" by fans, to NB's boss posting on Weibo that "it ended successfully"... everything is connected.

When the audience is immersed in the afterglow of the Bird's Nest Night.

LPL has changed.

~~~

RNG Club.

Xiang Guo heard a few words from the team leader, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

One year?

24 million?

I am the top eight jungler and have the most MVPs in the same position (S game), how much do I get?

When I went online and saw Kouma joining Top, Xiang Guo felt even more unbalanced.

To put it bluntly.

He can accept a lower salary.

It’s not like he doesn’t understand the reason why the mid-lane has the highest value in the circle. Not to mention that he has no championship, even if he won the S championship, he can’t compare with the mid-lane.

The problem is that he can’t even earn a fraction of Penicillin now, and the contract is for five years.

People, it’s not the lack of money that’s worrying, but the inequality.

In the beginning, everyone in the circle was poor.

He saved a lot of money every month, and he was very satisfied. Now that the competition area has been reformed, why can those who are not as good as him get a much higher value than him? What’s the point of him working hard to achieve results.

The more he thinks, the more he feels cheated.

So Letme was playing ranked, and suddenly heard a loud noise outside the corridor.

“…Now a new support can get 500,000! I don’t think my request is too much!”

At the door of the office.

The consequences of breaking the rules are finally reflected.

The more “generous” teams such as Top, JDG, and SNG are, the more they will be compared with those veteran players.

IMP can get 30 million in two years, and Langx’s salary increased 5 times after returning to SN.

Only talk about technology and results.

Are the other players who entered the world championship bad?

So when Xiang Guo saw the manager was angry, he was furious - the performance of the five-game battle with SKT was there, so what's wrong with giving me a raise?

I can't be a top-four jungler and the new jungler now have the same price.

"Do you know what a contract is?"

Seeing the confusion in Xiang Guo's eyes, the manager pointed at Xiang Guo's chest: "It's written in black and white, and you didn't sign it with your hand. Oh, if others raise their salaries, you must raise yours, what kind of logic is this?"

"Contract?"

Xiang Guo didn't even finish junior high school, so he didn't understand.

He just felt that the treatment was not matched, and the desire for money gave him the courage to stand up to the manager to negotiate, "There is no rule that you can't raise your salary."

"I want to talk to the boss."

"This is the boss's attitude." The manager smiled, as if he was talking about something very ordinary, "I will pretend that what happened today didn't happen, go, go back and train well." The manager pointed at the door.

I don't know why.

Seeing the manager smile, Xiang Guo wanted to punch him. After getting angry, Xiang Guo threatened: "Then find someone to replace me, I don't want to play anymore."

"Ha."

The manager looked at Xiang Guo carefully. For the club, it is not a terrible thing for a player to threaten not to play.

Want to force the palace in this way?

You don't think you are Uzi, saying that you can force Bai Xing to call and comfort you by taking a break.

"You'd better not play, and you'd better never play." The manager made a gesture of invitation: "If you are self-conscious, move to the basement now. Don't worry, no one will care about you."

Xiang Guo didn't expect the opponent to change his face as quickly as turning a book.

Thinking of the environment of the water dungeon.

Xiang Guo himself was a little withdrawn.

His goal was just to get a pay raise, not to retire, and SKT's revenge hadn't been avenged yet, "Then... where is my bonus. It was agreed that there would be a reward for qualifying from the group stage."

"Of course it will be paid."

The manager said seriously: "Wait for the summer season, the money will be in the account for the summer season."

"Huh..." Xiang Guo was so angry, "I still haven't received two months' salary last year."

"Isn't it normal to delay the salary for a few months? It's not like you're missing out." The manager asked back: "What are you in such a hurry for? You need money to spend, I'll lend you two thousand."

"Ah." Xiang Guo felt confused: "I have a salary."

"Are you living too well, Liu Shiyu."

"Look at those peers who work in the factory outside, let alone paying on time, not withholding your salary for three months is considered fair to you. Look at yourself, you have no education and no meat, what else can you do besides playing games?

A contract is a contract. If you don't want to play, get out of here and go to the basement."

Watching Xiang Guo leave aggressively, the manager leaned back in his chair: "What are you hanging people."

Letme took off his headphones and listened to the noise.

One minute later.

Xiang Guo rushed to his seat with his neck red and cursed: "Fuck you, you idiot, I will kill you sooner or later."

Xiang Guo was very scary when he got angry. Letme listened to a few words and put on his headphones silently, not daring to ask at all. Although they lived under the same roof, their relationship was not good enough to talk privately.

And on the Korean website.

When the news of Kouma joining Top spread here, SKT fans were confused. They thought that leaving the team was to rest for a year and recover their spirits, but who knew that he left the SKT gate and went to LPL across the sea.

Don't you know that LPL is a hostile region?

"Keep bragging, why don't you stop? He's always marketing himself as the person who discovered Faker. Is he worthy of that?"

"Kuma is just trying to flatter himself. Faker was invited to try out, but Faker didn't go."

"Disgusting. The biggest reason why they lost to LGD for two consecutive years is that Kouma didn't play like a human being in BP. If he had played like a human being, SKT would have established a dynasty and created a legend."

"Kuma, can you please die?"

"I knew Kouma was a mean person. He always praised his opponent for playing well after the game and said he was sorry. He never talked about the team's problems and always put pressure on the players."

"Why are you angry? Isn't it a good thing for such trash to go to LPL? Also, who is Top? Why don't I know this team?"

"It seems that they were acquired, but the original team didn't have any results."

"Don't be so mean. When DAN first played in LPL, they slaughtered EDG."

"Misleading, right? Why didn't the above person mention that DAN was struggling to win and suffered 13 consecutive losses? Just talking about the victory over EDG, those who don't know would think it was at the playoff level."

Everyone with a keyboard was cursing.

Unlike Hongmi, Sun Dayong, and Nofe, coaches who are a little famous but not well-known on the Korean Internet.

As the face of LCK.

Kouma's joining LPL is no less than Penicillin's pursuit of the championship dream in Korea. Of course, the latter has won two consecutive championships, and it is precisely because of the championship that the "defection" behavior will cause huge controversy.

Even if Top doesn't look famous.

It looks like making money.

The problem is that the Korean media helped to brag about your past deeds, but you went to LPL to adjust.

Although this is also an adjustment, it is a completely different environment, but what about those who once spoke for you and helped to clean up after two consecutive runner-ups?

It can only be said that when making the decision, Kouma didn't think that public opinion would be so serious.

He only felt that he couldn't join LGD and SSG, and didn't think that joining a new team like Top would still cause fans' disgust.

According to his logic.

Top has no intersection, it is a pure new environment, not to mention that there is a mid-lane player he admires more.

After the public opinion expanded.

Kouma soon received a call from an acquaintance.

"Why do you want to go to LPL?"

The SKT manager stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with his hands on his hips.

"I didn't say I wanted to rest. I just want to adjust."

"I know, I know..." The SKT manager felt that Kouma's mood was a little wrong, and slowed down his tone appropriately: "But, why LPL?"

Kouma was very strange.

Even the business community is talking about global manufacturing. What's wrong with him coming to work next door? He is not staying in China forever. "Everyone is a little unwilling to lose to LGD for two consecutive years.

As a coach, I want to come here to study the style of LPL in depth - it can't always be unchanged. Otherwise, if we meet a strong team in LPL in the future, it will be easy to be kicked out."

Kouma never hated SKT.

But as he said, people can't stay in the same environment all the time. What's more, the fans have a lot of opinions about him. In this case, both sides have to calm down for a while and stop meeting each other.

"You didn't understand what I meant."

After investigating, the SKT manager broke it down and said, "You were Sang Hyuk's coach before, and now you are Penicillin's coach. What do outsiders think of you? Are you dissatisfied with Sang Hyuk?!"

"I'm not dissatisfied with him. It's because I coached Sang Hyuk that I know what a suitable mid laner means to a team."

"Jung Jun, really, I won't make this call if you go to VG, JD, SN, or even FPX. But it can't be Top, where Penicillin is."

The other side sighed: "Fortunately you are not a BP coach, otherwise I would be more depressed." Competition training is usually hidden behind the scenes and it is not easy to show up.

"It's because I am Top that I didn't choose to take a year off."

"Have you been online?"

"I checked." After a long silence, Kouma replied: "In fact, for so many years...only the results are real, everything else is fake."

"OK, then I wish you a happy weekend."

After a few pleasantries, the other party hung up the phone.

Although Kouma was in a bad mood, he went downstairs and saw Qin Hao teaching his teammates to watch the line, and suddenly felt that it was nothing. If you want to hate someone in this world, you don't need so many reasons.

2014, 2015 MSI, 2016 S game... He has been coaching for so long. If he was bullied by netizens, he would have died three or four times.

Wait until the news spreads further.

White Crescent sighed against the wall, and Redmi calmly hung up WE's call to retain him and chose to take a break temporarily.

For a coach.

What does super mid laner mean?

It means that Jin Jingzhu is willing to give up LZ, which has proven its strength, and choose to join IG with Rookie in charge;

It means that White Crescent made three consecutive phone calls to complain and invited Guo Hao to get drunk;

It means that Sun Dayong can only settle for the second best and take over the banner of RNG - he reflected that the reason why he couldn't compete with Kouma was that he had not achieved any results with IM in the past two years, so he chose to take a pay cut to join a wealthy team to improve his reputation.

The world situation is treacherous.

In the lounge with lights on, Lao Zei only felt that he had opened the door to a new world...
