Disastrously defeated in the top 16, TES begged me to return to the team overnight

Chapter 174 Piyosik
Before the third day came after MSI won the championship, the transfer window of each major competition area had already opened, and major clubs were peddling player contracts, or players were negotiating contracts with clubs.

LPL is still in full swing in the "money war", and LCK is not to be outdone. Although it is slightly inferior in terms of money spent, it has steadily launched some large or small "robbery" wars.

Some people have torn their skins in private because of some profit distribution issues, and some people are unwilling to be abandoned by the club for no reason, because they deliberately revealed some "big news" that only the members of the club know, and beat them back.

As a well-known brokerage company, zeka and kingen, as well as piyosik, BeryL, Jin Dahu, and some other team data analysts have all signed contracts under Shadow.

As a member of the capital themselves, they naturally know the capital best, and they also know how to pull with the club. As a "community of interests", they help players get the highest salary in active service and the most comfortable contract treatment.

After the MSI championship awards, the rich club HLE has already taken a fancy to the DRX players, so it directly communicated with Shadow to invite their players to Hanwha, which is the center of DRX, at an average price of 20 billion won (RMB 1000 million). superior.

This is a treatment that DRX cannot afford.

Because before winning the championship, the unknown zeka and kingen had a total of 8000 million won, which is equivalent to 20 yuan per person.

The real price of cabbage in e-sports is a pure pick-me-up.

This is not considered the minimum salary of DRX.

The unlucky guy with the lowest salary is piyosik. Not counting the rewards and bonuses he fought for, the one-year hard work is only 2000 million won—RMB 12.

The highest salary is deft and BeryL, 850 million and 500 million RMB.

There is an obvious gap between the rich and the poor between the upper middle and the lower lane, but this is the real situation of DRX. A team that earns investors' investment money through stock speculation is very good at using small things to make big gains, and to stop in time.

In a sense, they are the most willing to cultivate e-sports players, and they are willing to accompany them to grow from seedlings to towering trees bit by bit.

However, as the players slowly show their results and worth, they will not hesitate to sell them if they say they are sold out.

People who raise cattle and sheep will not have any compassion for livestock when they kill them for meat, but when raising them, they carefully select the feed, and the real action of patient care makes you unable to Says he treats them badly.

It is normal behavior to support the players from the beginning, and then give them away for money, because they want the players to bring them tangible benefits from the beginning, rather than purely wanting to do charity.

After the MSI battle, all the players played their worth, which is a very good thing for DRX.

Taking everything into consideration, it is the best strategy to leave Cangchen to lead the newcomers.

Although Cui Shangren usually doesn't pay much attention to the players' games, even watching the games in the waiting room, he is sleepy, but he believes in his brother-in-law, Kim Dae-ho, and knows who is the best in the team.

According to Jin Dahu's original words, he has great confidence in Cang Chen's ability to lead the four rookies to a good value in the summer split.

He suggested that Cui Shangren simply ask the boss to allocate more funds, and kick out the other four by the way, giving Cang Chen "a reason that cannot be refused".

A full 40 billion won!
Equivalent to RMB 2000!

Although it is not as good as LPL's knight's huge salary of 4000 million and JK's 700 million, but this price can almost stand shoulder to shoulder with viper, and it is also a salary that is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

Looking at the entire LCK, there are not many people who can reach this level.

But at the same time, many clubs in LPL offered him an olive branch.

These include BLG's 500 million, EDG's 800 million and LNG's 5000 million, and WBG's terrifying maximum salary of [-] million.

Sincerity is indeed in place.

But going to WBG probably won't end well.

They shoot commercials every day, and the players don't have much time for training. Once they play, they just eat their money, and there is no breakthrough at all.

BLG and other clubs are also good, but Cangchen doesn't really want to return to LPL at the moment, so he doesn't think about it for the time being.

DRX treats him fairly well, and he is finally familiar with his teammates, and the cooperation is also quite tacit.

Playing with MSI all the way in the Spring Split, they got along very well, almost representing the best lineup in Cangchen's mind.

Not to mention everyone's status is online, even Xiao P, who is less talented, is also training hard. He has no doubts about his command, and he is very eager to win the championship.

and so……

He still wants to see it again.

Wait for the contract renewal meeting scheduled for the championship tomorrow to see what they say and what their respective attitudes are.

At the same time, Zeka was talking to the person in charge of the Shadow agency alone.

In the huge office, the two sat opposite each other, with several contracts drawn up with each team in front of them, only one player's signature was missing.

"...You said that you want DRX to change the jungler. I have already conveyed this. They agreed and will try their best to persuade your team's cang to switch to the jungler. However, the salary may...are still not willing to give you Best, just promise to double it. But... 8000 million doubled to 40 ([-] yuan), what's the point... What do you think?"

"Um……"

Zeka took a sip of coffee and was also thinking with his head down.

"Is it the last attitude?"

To confirm, he asked again.

After getting an affirmative answer from the person in charge, he finally nodded and picked up the pen to sign the HLE contract.

And when the contract was signed and handed over to the person in charge, Kingen's signature was found on his desk.

Some people took the first step, I didn't expect it, Zeka laughed, and seemed to be a little emotional.

I have played in DRX for more than a year, and I really have feelings for piyosik.

But [-] million won won't allow him to think about it.

This is not brotherhood, or 8000 million times [-] can be solved.

I don't know how long the next [-] million will be.

If he doesn't get good results in the summer split, doesn't have any good performance, and HLE doesn't sign the sky-high contract, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

There is really no way, who makes e-sports players so unpreserved.

The first year is fierce, and the second year may pull the hips and lose the chain.

Rao is a high-spirited and talented young man like Showmarker. After the champion in the first year is heroic, he can't escape collapsing on the chair in the second or third year.

This year's spring split, Cang carried them all the way here, he knows this very well.

But what if the summer split is thoroughly researched?
Are you going to go home crying and looking for your mother with the cabbage price contract?

Really, don't be silly.

"Thank you very much for your support, thank you for your trouble."

After handing over the contract and bowing, Zeka respected the person in charge of Shadow.

And Shadow is also polite and considerate, treating his "clients" without any neglect.

Send zeka out and bow to him to thank him.

When the DRX "Contract Renewal" conference was held the next morning, they arrived as scheduled, accomplished difficult things for the players, and said difficult things for the players.

From the training room, piyosik, who stayed up late and had a nosebleed, was picked up. Zeka and kingen rushed ahead of deft and Cangchen, almost carrying their brothers into the infirmary, and the doctor told them "it's nothing serious, pay attention to rest".

"Don't work so hard next time. Did you sleep today? Why are you so haggard?"

As a good friend of piyosik all the time, kingen is very concerned about his body.

But Xiao P just smiled and shook his head, sat up from the bed with a guilty face, and was pushed down by everyone.

"Don't bow your head, or you'll still bleed like this."

Zeka scolded.

"Oh, I'm fine."

Xiao P waved his hand in distress, the "friend's concern" that he had been looking forward to the most all this time made him feel very confused at this moment.

"I saw you practicing dragon catching that night. Alas, there is no need to work so hard. You have won all the championship trophies. Everyone has never blamed you." Deft said, "Although you are weak in catching dragons, we have time It’s still growing, right? We’re still a few months away from the summer split, so don’t worry.”

"I know, I know." Xiao P nodded, looked at everyone apologetically, and finally stopped his gaze on Cang Chen's face, showing an apologetic smile: "I won't do this next time."

He promises.

But Cang Chen knew that this kid would dare again next time.

"Let's go first, the coach and they called us."

BeryL glanced at the time on the phone, and wanted to drag his teammates to the meeting room.

Zeka and Kingen helped Xiao P up, but was pushed down by Deft.

"Changxian doesn't need to go, just take a good rest. Anyway, we are discussing contract renewal and salary increase. The contract will be signed after a while."

"Uh……"

Zeka was a little speechless, raised his head and glanced at the dazed Kingen.

this will……

It is almost plain to say that it is for Xiaop to see.

He doesn't go.

Doesn't that mean it's for nothing?

"It's okay, I can just look up. Let's go, let's go, Coach Jin will go crazy in a while."

Little P patted a few people, but he quickened his pace.

Several people took the elevator to the conference room on the third floor, during which Xiao P was still joking, teasing them while hurting himself.

Only this time, except for BeryL's polite smile, no one else could smile much.

As soon as we entered the conference room, everyone was almost seated.

The person in charge of the shadow agency helped several players remove the chairs, asked them to sit down one by one, and then waited for the DRX representative to speak.

Cui Shangren and one of the female secretaries of the ATU boss sat at the front.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Cui Shangren rubbed his head and got straight to the point.

"Except for the cang player, I have already negotiated with everyone's management companies about the renewal of the contract. Although I didn't get a satisfactory...satisfactory result in the end, I did my best. Do your best, so..."

In front of everyone, this little old man who was usually sleepy suddenly stood up and bowed to everyone like a Japanese.

"Thank you for your company in the past six months, and the honor you have brought to the DRX club. We will keep the MSI trophy forever, and we will never forget the appearance of everyone fighting together!"

A few words made some people uncomfortable to hear, and some people were confused.

"... Manager Cui fell asleep?"

Xiao P laughed and joked with his good friend kingen, but the other party did not talk and laugh with him as before, but became quite serious and unpredictable.

Jin Dahu was holding a ballpoint pen, staring at the table without saying a word.

Nofe lay on the chair and listened carefully.

Cang Chen had expected it, so he was just silent.

Deft frowned slightly, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Zeka and Kingen sat very upright, as if they had already made all the preparations.

"Let me talk about the following things. After all, we have cooperated with DRX for a long time, and the withdrawal at this time is indeed the result we don't want to see."

Very professional, seeing the atmosphere of the scene has been microseconds.

The person in charge of Shadow directly stepped forward to burst this embarrassing bubble.

"The current salaries of zeka and kingen are really too low. Even if your club proposes to double the budget, we still don't feel satisfied." He said, "Because of their feelings for the team, zeka and kingen cooperated very hard It is also possible to stay in the team if the salary is reduced to 1000 million won, but... your club still has not agreed, so... currently only player piyosik will stay on the team unconditionally. Coach Kim Dae-ho and player BeryL have also proposed transfer ideas, so... This is the situation above, and I hope everyone can understand and reach an agreement.”

Long-winded and long-winded, the person in charge of Shadow seems to be quite proficient in this set of rhetoric.

This is not the first time that such a thing as taking the blame has been done.

In order to maintain the "fragile" friendship between players and players, they have paid too much.

only……

This still cannot be accepted by Deft and Xiaop calmly.

In the middle of hearing this, the smiles on their faces had completely disappeared.

"What...don't renew the contract?"

Xiao P's expression was quite puzzled. He blinked and looked at Zeka and Kingen who dared not look at him, and finally set his sights on the person in charge of Shadow.

"Well……"

After figuring everything out, Deft suddenly leaned back on the chair, sighed heavily, and didn't say a word.

Only piyosik still can't figure it out, why does a good team break up like this? ?

"Manager Cui, didn't you say you won't be separated? And the contract hasn't ended yet, so we have to wait until the end of the World Championship? Isn't it?" Little P asked Cui Shangren hastily, "What's going on?"

"DRX won't get stuck in any player's contract, little P. I know that you, kingen, and zeka don't get much. It's been really hard for you all the time."

When Cui Shangren said this, his words were already quite low.

The boss' secretary raised his hand to check the time.

The person in charge of Shadow secretly exhaled, as if complaining about something, but didn't want to show it.

Everything has become clear.

The team broke up.

They are all gone.

Zeka looked at Xiao P in a bad mood, noticed the bloodshot eyes and bad hairstyle, and his body was shaking violently.

"Changxian, actually..."

"You don't have the right to influence players to stay or stay?!" Suddenly, piyosik's voice became quite loud, "Shadow is an economic company, not a chaebol company! I hope you all figure out what you are doing! Why do you replace players? Make this decision!? Do you want them to make money for you so much! Dog-like thing! I don’t want to cooperate with this kind of bastard company!”

Slapping the desk hard, Piyosik was so angry that he trembled all over, and the tears in his eyes rolled and overflowed.

"Terminate the contract, I don't want to see you again, or anyone in your company, never."

He finally said, finally calmed down, as if using the last bit of strength in his body.

At this moment, everyone looked at this scene in astonishment, seeing the first anger of this honest and laughing young man since he met him.

It's like a hamster that has been abandoned in a garbage dump. If you touch it a little, you will scream and threaten with all your strength.

Even the person in charge of Shadow didn't expect that this kid was able to say such a weighty word, which is really surprising.
