Chapter 168 This summer, the last K1! 【and also】

This week has been hell for K1.

Because they have no money, they shoot endorsements almost every day.

What fruit orange, what mouse and keyboard, what gaming chair.

As long as it can make money, K1 is shooting.

But even so, in Shanghai, a place where every inch of land is expensive, the daily expenses of the club are sky-high.

The money paid by the K1 players is simply a drop in the bucket.

Because LeTV's headquarters is still drawing a commission, it's like a vampire.

However, Manager Zhao is also a person who knows how to have fun while suffering.

"Thinking about the good, at least we haven't set up a youth training camp yet."

Xu Ruoguang let out a breath and smiled helplessly.

"It's really good news at this time."

"A lot of people have already left."

Manager Zhao was silent for a while, and said something that did not surprise Xu Ruoguang.

"It's hard to pay wages, and it's normal to leave."

"Manager Zhao, do you want to go?"

Xu Ruoguang looked directly at him and asked calmly.

"What did you plan to do?"

Manager Zhao didn't answer, but asked instead.

"How else can I plan? Let's survive the World Championship."

"Let's talk about the future."

"Are you sure you want to play in the World Championship? K1 is so poor right now that you can't even book a hotel for you when you go to the World Championship."

Manager Zhao sighed,
"Don't be brave, Ruoguang."

"The championship can be won next year. I am very optimistic about you."

"You are going to play in the World Championship this year. If you don't win the championship, you will lose money. If the situation doesn't improve, you will be disbanded after K1 in the World Championship."

"Why are you so stubborn and insist on going to the World Championship? Money is the most important thing."

"Do you know? Ruoguang."

Xu Ruoguang's face didn't change much, he looked at Manager Zhao seriously.

"Maybe you're right, the World Championship, if we go there, we have to use our own money to play."

"But, I'm a professional player, manager."

"No one can refuse the World Championship."

"Even if this K1 will be the last swan song in 16, so what?"

"I will do my best to give everyone who supports and trusts us a perfect ending."

"Money is very important, but if a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"

"I want to win the championship, it's as simple as that."

Xu Ruoguang has a stupid mouth and can't say any fancy words.

But he knew what he wanted.

He wants to go to Worlds.

I can't think about it anymore.

He went back to the original question.

"Manager, do you want to go too?"

Manager Zhao paced around the room irritably, still cursing in bits and pieces.

"Crazy, crazy, crazy!"

"What is the magic of the World Championship? You don't even plan to ask for money?"

"Stupid! Absolutely stupid!"

Manager Zhao is an adult now.

Adults don't talk about feelings, only money.

This society is such a reality, so he should tell Xu Ruoguang right now, yes, I am also going to leave.

He did think so.

but……

He was a little speechless.

In the year since he took over K1, Manager Zhao has evolved from a person who had no reaction or awareness of e-sports to the current e-sports know-it-all.

He watched this group of teenagers, summoned by Xu Ruoguang, started from the beginning.

Keep climbing up and overcoming one difficulty after another.

Spring season, champion!

MSI Mid-Season Invitational, champion!
There have been setbacks during the period, but Ah Shui's gradual growth, godv's self-salvation, and Xiaohuasheng's and scout's Chinese are getting better and better, so that this K1 has reached the most dazzling place in the star-studded LPL.

This K1, for him, has a different meaning.

He watched them go up step by step, so he could better understand the difficulty of the profession of professional players.

Manager Zhao has a good impression of every K1 player.

Xu Ruoguang, who is laughing and joking all day long but has a vicious mouth during training games.

The bloodthirsty and vigor of the shy and handsome Peanut when he got the offensive jungler.

Usually taciturn but actually very cheerful scout.

Bearing the scolding for half a year, godv has transformed from scars.

There is also Ah Shui, who is getting stronger and stronger, and gradually aspires to the world's strongest AD group.

And Aya Hirano, whose longing has never been extinguished in her heart, and whose dream is to avenge her shame.

Isn't their youth the youth of Manager Zhao?
This group of young professional players made Manager Zhao understand why e-sports is so popular.

"I'm really scared of you."

Manager Zhao scolded for a long time, but became more and more reluctant.

He sighed.

"After the World Championship, I want to leave too."

Xu Ruoguang's eyes suddenly lit up,

"Brother Zhao, aren't you leaving now?"

"Uncle Zhao, I'm already thirty."

Manager Zhao said angrily.

"I don't even know what I'm thinking now, I'm probably really crazy too."

"Let's say yes first, I will accompany you in this World Championship, and I will pack up and leave after the match."

Whether Manager Zhao leaves or not is very important to K1.

Because he has been coordinating all chores, contacting training games, and organizing K1 travel.

The visas for this World Championship were all handled by Manager Zhao.

For this kind of thing, if you don't have experience, you really can't just find someone to do it well.

Manager Zhao is also an indispensable member of K1.

Xu Ruoguang didn't know what to say, he just bowed deeply.

"Thank you."

"Fighting well is the best reward for me."

Manager Zhao calmed down and said seriously.

"Ah."

Xu Ruoguang walked out of the office, and his teammates couldn't wait outside.

During this period of time, K1 left too many people.

Even some analysts and assistant coaches that kkoma brought over from SKT have left.

The rest are unwilling people.

They left SKT with a sigh of relief.

They are not reconciled to leaving without getting the grades.

Humans are a kind of group creatures, and people are always leaving, so it is inevitable that people will panic.

The members of K1 were naturally flustered.

There is not only confusion about one's own future, but also anxiety about the status quo.

"He's not leaving."

Xu Ruoguang walked over with a heavy face, and the teammates who watched were terrified.

But then he grinned and said seriously.

"Manager Zhao, I will stay."

"Great."

Hirano Aya finally let go of the big rock in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, although we only have a coach, an analyst, an assistant and a manager, we are at least complete."

godv said optimistically.

"Yes, this is already the best result."

"Not much to say, there are only a few people left. Our endorsement money is enough to support the base until the end of the summer split. When it's time to go to the World Championship, I will pay for the hotel reservation."

Xu Ruoguang said with a smile.

Although the situation is still difficult, but finally survived the most difficult level.

Whether Manager Zhao can leave is not just a matter of money, because other LPL clubs have been coveting K1's training team and logistics for a long time, and now that K1 has an accident, the salary is too high.

Those who choose to stay under such circumstances are really rare.

As for whether the players can leave...

how can that be possible?
Xu Ruoguang wants to win the S crown again, Little Peanut wants to prove himself, and Scout also wants to prove himself.

Aya Hirano and godv wanted to avenge their shame.

Ah Shui also wants to compete with the world's top ADs.

It was impossible for them to leave.

What's more, the winter transfer has not yet started, and other clubs can't go too far.

"My buddy is also rich, and I will be responsible for what to eat when the time comes."

Ah Shui let out bold words.

"Forget it, I'm here, I haven't played professionally for a few years, so save more money."

Xu Ruoguang shook his head and refused.

Ah Shui still wanted to say something, Xu Ruoguang pushed him to the training room.

"Don't talk about it, hurry up and train, and you still have to play RNG."

There are still four days until the game starts.

On the fourth day, K1 started to resume the training match, and made appointments with some LCK teams through Peanut's channel.

On the third day, with Xu Ruoguang's meager connections, EDG played a full-day training match with K1.

On the second day, I started to strengthen the basic skills training, and made up the three Cs to make up for the vomiting, but I insisted on it.

The last day.

"I won't train today, keep a good state."

"RNG is very strong, especially in the case that they are now Uzi in the bottom lane, it can be said to be ridiculously strong."

"However, the superiority of our system still exists. They play single-core from beginning to end. As for Xiaohu, it is not worth mentioning."

Xu Ruoguang said calmly.

Under the confrontation at the C position, Xu Ruoguang believed in his teammates.

No matter whether you can fight or not, you can't destroy your prestige now.

Don't doubt, believe first!
"Our training time is very short. RNG's training time is several times that of ours. Their state will definitely be very good."

he said softly.

"But, we can win."

"Right?"

"Don't worry, it's Uzi, isn't it? It's Uzi that my buddy hit!"

Ah Shui swung his fist fiercely, his face full of confidence.

"I'm going to play better than him."

Scout was not as excited as Ah Shui, but his calm but serious gaze also showed his confidence.

"I can only say that if the LPL wants to rank the top three mid laners, it must start from the third."

godv is also crazy.

He is such a confident person.

Why start from the third row?

Because K1's two rotation mid laners are the first and second!

"Mata is a fart, watch me blow him up."

Hirano Aya smiled and started blowing.

"Yes, you are in a good state of mind, which is pretty good."

kkoma stood by, affirming with a smile.

"Today is definitely a tough battle, but as long as we win, we will be the No. [-] seed!"

"I have a lot of trust in you."

"Things are tough, but the future is bright."

"Work hard, everyone."

"This is the last K16 in 1."

"Let's not regret it."

kkoma said seriously.

"it is good!"

The cheers of concerted efforts sounded, K1, set off.

In the afternoon, they will face the menacing RNG.

Beat RNG.Become the No. [-] seed.

Lost to RNG.Second place.

K1 has no pressure.

However, no one wants to lose.

They have won for a summer, there is no reason to fall at the last moment.

Arriving at the venue, Xu Ruoguang and kkoma walked in the front and walked in.

RNG, here we come!

Do you think we are not your opponents if we haven't trained enough?

Then you read the wrong person.
