Chapter 385 What is freedom worth?

WeChat.

Qin Hao: Brother Dan, what are your plans?
Eimy: Me? I still have one year left on my contract.

There was silence for a while.

Qin Hao: If you want, I can talk to the manager.

On the other side of the phone.

Eimy was lying on the sofa.

Thinking about the public opinion storm in the past two days, a warm feeling flowed through my heart.

He knew that LGD had done many things that made Qin Hao uncomfortable, and the only thing that made him happy was that Qin Hao was still thinking about him.

I remember when I first learned about the inside story of the contract renewal.

I feel as sick as if I had eaten shit.

He was so humble, was he asking for a job? He felt that if he hadn't been a burden in the World Championship, their team could have had an easier time. He made the call with a guilty conscience and a desire to make amends.

But what about the Queen Mother?

She knew what she was asking for!
However, when this day really came, Eimy thought she would feel empty inside, but in fact she didn't.

Because he knew that LGD was the shackles that bound Qin Hao.

No matter how much revenue Qin Hao creates, the Queen Mother still feels it is not enough... Just like when the contract renewal was completed last year, some people on the Internet were saying why Penicillin was more expensive than Rookie.

cut.

Eimy found it funny.

Rookie can lead the twins to the world championship, but can he lead them to the finals? Not to mention that Qin Hao is also responsible for two-thirds of the game training work, serving as half of the top single coach and three-line commander.

Only 200 million more expensive than Rookie.

Saying that LGD is generous, Eimy feels sorry for Qin Hao.

After all, after taking the money, we still have to deal with business. God knows how ugly it would be to wear a team uniform with 9 sponsors embroidered on it.

and so.

"PP."

Eimy typed: "I wish you a long and prosperous career."

Eimy ended the chat and threw his phone aside. He suddenly thought of the night two years ago when he played Lee Sin in a training match and could Q anyone who was bitten by Crocodile's Red Fury W.

I remember that night MaRin lost his guard and was embarrassed.

In fact, he was a newcomer at that time. He only played one spring game in place of Taobao Quan. He had no idea what was required of a professional player and only knew that the competition and rank were not the same game.

So after MaRin became famous, he gave up and said the most mean words to Qin Hao, admitting that he was not worthy of playing professionally and was not worthy of working with teammates like MaRin and IMP who had star auras.

He will never forget this memory.

He just looked at Qin Hao and encouraged him in a very serious tone - "It's useless to worry all the time. The key is to do it!"

From then on, he recognized this talented midfielder who was full of fighting spirit and persistence. He also remembered the words: "What do you want to do in the future? Tell me in advance and I will help you make the decision."

Karsa and Tarzan were both puzzled by the way he communicated with Qin Hao.

But how could they know that on a very ordinary night, he and Qin Hao told each other their embarrassing stories.

If it wasn't from Qin Hao himself, who would know that such a talented person had been worried and doubted about not being able to play in the training match.

He doesn't need brains.

Penicillin is his brain.

After winning the championship, Eimy saw the comments scolding him and thought about other endings in his dreams countless times.

Of course he would feel sorry.

Of course, he would beg to stay in the team with the idea of ​​atonement.

He was unwilling to leave Qin Hao with such an evaluation.

He believed that if he practiced for another year, he would definitely be better than S6.

That's pretty much the scene, right?
The Bird's Nest, the golden rain, the 9 people in the audience shouted Penicillin's ID, and he stood straight behind Qin Hao sharing the spotlight.

What would happen if I didn't beg?

A genius like Qin Hao would never stop. After a very long journey, he and his new teammates arrived at the Bird's Nest and were still able to enjoy the glory of the winner.

He didn't hate the Queen Mother that much.

Although she was greedy for money and told lies all the time, he didn't want a job.

He just didn't want to live in atonement for his short life.

On the other side of the phone.

Qin Hao stopped talking, but he had some guesses in his mind. He knew that C-Bo and IMP's contracts were expiring, that Kago's contract was expiring in the first half of next year, and that Dalang was going to return to SN... Among them, the only one who didn't have the initiative was Eimy.

Just now.

I thought the dialog box was over, but suddenly a sentence came from it: Damn it!

For the first time ever, he even put an exclamation mark.

Eimy: Look at the hot searches on Tieba. G2 made a statement on Twitter, saying that as long as you go, A-P is willing to step down, and also said something about earning Euros and spending RMB.

Qin Hao:......

Grass.

I was feeling a little sad just now, how come I suddenly felt so sad?

But seeing this exclamation mark, Qin Hao was somewhat amused. They were not parting forever, they would meet again on the field.

Click on the anti-bar link sent by Eimy.

In the screenshot.

At 2:11 am Beijing time, G invited Penicillin to join.

In the recorded short video, A P, who had just cried bitterly in the World Championship, sat in front of the computer, with an expression that he couldn't hold back, saying that he was willing to assist the two-time champion.

The most arrogant thing is.

The computer screen showed that he was handling AD.

Why would you still hope that the two-time champion would look up to him? In short, he is the core and the treasure of G2, earning Euros and spending RMB.

"This is?"

"Is this true? Ah P can also play AD? I'm not questioning his talent, but the King of Philosophy and ADC are two different concepts after all. If he plays mid lane, he is a strong contender for the top mid laner in Europe. If he plays AD, I'm afraid he is not even at the level of a goalkeeper."

A lot of people questioned it below.

The main reason is that G2 likes to do this, and netizens can't tell whether it is a joke or a real one. So no one thinks they are sincere in inviting.

On Twitter.

A P posted two updates in a row, saying that he was not joking and that he would be willing to play AD if it was Penicillin.

See this.

European and American netizens know that A P is not playing tricks.

If it was just a joke, there would be no need to issue a statement. And as an e-sports star, there is no need to explain, there is no need to be so humble.

This time.

The topic has really gone viral.

Because the attitude is so humble, it can only show sincerity.

【Look forward to King of life coming to Europe. 】

【As a fan of Ah P, I also want to know what kind of sparks the two will create. 】

【A P: Who said the champion can't come from AD? ! 】

【Ha ha ha ha. 】

Related developments and foreign comments appeared in the comment section of the anti-bar, and those who said that G2 was playing a prank were a little dumbfounded.

"Ah, Ah P is really willing to change positions."

“Is this the eSports Succubus??”

"Come on, putting aside the communication issues, I don't think a mid laner switching to AD can still make the playoffs. Even An Bixin wants to switch positions, so he'll play the jungle position, which doesn't require much skill. How can he play the center position when the center position is free? It doesn't make sense."

The wind direction changed very quickly.

At first, most netizens thought it was just a joke, and they were very happy, and encouraged Qin Hao to earn Euros. But when they found out that G2 was serious, the yellow cards were immediately unhappy.

With the level in Europe, wouldn't it be poverty alleviation if we went there?

Moreover.

When they go to the European League, what do they watch?
As the base camp, although Kangba has often mocked the first-year fans for not watching the game and some of the fans are indeed crazy, it does not mean that they are willing to see the chosen Huazi leave.

Ten thousand reasons to resist arise in my heart.

The highly-rated comments changed from being happy to showing disdain for Europe, with an expression that said they were not worthy of G2.

a hotel.

Guo Hao had just met with the second team last night. When he turned on his phone, he saw that even foreign countries were paying close attention to Penicillin's transfer news. This made him feel like he was scratched by a cat.

The Queen Mother likes Dota.

But he liked the league and wanted to make a difference.

So, when he knew that the popularity of the Bird's Nest Night broke the domestic viewing record set by S5, and the operation plan he wrote was supported by the sponsor, he bought a Class A team as a youth training reserve overnight, and after a simple face recognition, he flew directly to Shanghai to negotiate with Penicillin's agent -

It takes time to understand the club, but buying Qingshen will only take a week or two. If you miss it, you will regret it even in your dreams.

of course.

Li Zhengtai took the initiative to contact clubs in the industry that were sincere, and he would accept any offer. Guo Hao was not sure if his club was good enough to win the other party's favor.

Because as far as he knows, old-fashioned giants like EDG not only gave the highest offer in the circle, but also have deep soft power.

Even EDG is competing for it.

He doesn't quite know where his own advantages lie.

In terms of money, the price offered by Europe and the United States is definitely stronger than the purchasing power of Chinese. Apart from anything else, after G2 invited him to join, the TL boss followed up and directly promised a green card and knife fun.

How can they follow with these material conditions? After all, in the eyes of some people, a green card is everything.

The reason why Daiki likes North America so much is because the green card has relieved him of many worries. No matter how much SKT fans say he is a traitor, they are still jealous of Daiki for not having to serve in the military.

The more you think.

The more worried I am.

Although I don't think Penicillin is so short-sighted as to go to Europe or the United States to retire in his prime, compared with other domestic clubs, the newly reorganized Top does not have any advantages.

However, the deputy next to him was quite moved when he saw Guo Hao like this.

Just before LGD reached the semi-finals.

He and Guo Hao were still afraid of losing their jobs, after all, Fujii wanted to implement a home and away system and fixed seats. Although after the seats were fixed, everyone had no risk of losing their investment, but the club had to pay a seat fee and a fixed amount of investment every year.

After knowing this condition, Mr. Dan (DAN’s boss) said directly that he couldn’t afford it and that was the end of their fate.

If Guo Hao had not taken the initiative to save the situation and won the entry of Top Esports International, the two would have had to start all over again.

But even when they were about to disband, he had never seen Guo Hao so restless.

"Our superiors have given us some time, so there's no need to rush," the deputy consoled.

"Of course I have to find a way to make my boast come true."

Guo Hao affirmed: "As long as we can get Penicillin to join, our plan of qualifying for the World Championship in two years and becoming a first-tier club in three years will be very promising."

The deputy couldn't help but say: "Our team is at the bottom of the league, and LGD is at least at the playoff level."

It’s not that the deputy doesn’t think Penicillin is strong.

But when a tiger enters the sheepfold, it is easily assimilated.

"As long as he is willing to come, I will report to the higher-ups overnight and ask for special approval of funds." Guo Hao emphasized his determination.

"Aren't you afraid that the investment will be too large and the results will be unsatisfactory..." The deputy meant that if the investment was too large, it would be easy to get fired.

"Penicillin is worth my gamble."

The deputy frowned, thinking Guo Hao was insane. After all, Topsports invested in e-sports to win the favor of the younger generation, just as a special advertisement, not to be a sucker and help Fujii to decorate the facade.

If he really wanted to pursue Penicillin, Guo Hao would have to ask for special funding from above. After all, DAN was also a Class A team half a year ago.

~~~
night.

EDG Club.

Only Edzhu, Abu, Maokai and the factory director were left in the office.

"Tell me about it."

As soon as Ed Zhu started talking, Abu got furious: "I made five or six phone calls to communicate with him, and today we met and talked for more than half an hour. In the end, he told me that the annual salary should be put aside for now, and the contract we are discussing cannot involve business contracts and live broadcast contracts."

Speaking of which.

Abu shook his head and said, "I've been in the e-sports circle for so many years, and I've never seen anyone so greedy. You're a player who does business and broadcasts independently, what do we want from you? Because you're good at gaming?"

"They are just asking for a sky-high price and then paying it back."

Ed Zhu was obviously not angry. Since it was a negotiation, he would definitely use some tricks.

Don't you see, they are all hanging on to Scout now? Isn't it also the attitude of riding a cow to look for a horse?

"Then?"

"Then I said all the nice things I could, including the roster for the new season, and agreed to consider his ideas for reinforcements. But he refused to budge."

"Is it because your attitude is not good enough?" Ed Zhu asked suspiciously.

Seeing this look, Abu was aggrieved on the spot, "I'm not good enough. He said the time and arranged the place. I referred to his opinions throughout the whole process."

"He said he didn't want to talk about annual salary, but you didn't say anything?" Edward Zhu asked again, "Forty-three million for two years, no bonus share...did you tell him all this?"

"Eh……"

Abu said uncomfortably: "We have said everything we should and shouldn't. We have no requirements for the length of the live broadcast, and we have also said that we have a good relationship with Fujii, but."

See this.

Edward Zhu was really confused.

In terms of sincerity, this is already very generous.

Iboy and Meiko form the bottom lane, and there are familiar faces like Clearlove in the team. Moreover, without Scout's foreign aid quota, even if he thinks Clearlove is too old and Mouse has poor skills, EDG also has the conditions to introduce Korean aid in the top and jungle.

No matter how you think about it, they are all in the first echelon, right?
Could it be that Qin Hao missed home and wanted to return to RNG? Or was he sentimental and wanted to play LOL with Eimy and IMP?

The problem is that IMP and others have been contacted in the past few days, but I haven't heard that IMP is determined. This shows that after winning the championship at the Bird's Nest, the LGD players have a consensus.

This time.

Ed Zhu was a little worried. If he packed up, it seemed there would be no room.

Thinking of this, he looked at the factory manager: "Mingkai, tell me, do you want to be Qin Hao's teammate?"

The factory manager's face twitched, and he said from the bottom of his heart, "I am willing to do so."

The factory manager wanted to say a few more words, but Ed Zhu immediately made up his mind: "Then will you accept to be a substitute? If you accept, we can talk about everything except Meiko!"

Good guy.

Now even the factory manager was upset.

Of course he knew that he was getting more and more exhausted and there was not much oil left in the engine.

But even if they accept to be substitutes, it seems that Iboy and Scout will also leave according to the boss's words.

Thinking back to last year, because of Scout, he disappointed PawN fans and was mocked by the entire network for being inhumane and whipping his corpse as soon as he left. As a result, the same scenario is going to be played out again this year - Scout's departure has little impact on EDG?

hesitated.

The factory manager recalled the feeling of watching LGD's game, and the image of Flounder in front of him was immediately shattered. "If I play badly, I will be criticized anyway. If I don't perform well in the training match, I don't want to go up and embarrass myself."

Ed Zhu was touched and patted the factory director on the shoulder: “After all, you are experienced, and Penicillin is best at command, maybe the chemical reaction will be very good.

I ask these questions just to dispel the other party's concerns. After all, you haven't played many games so far in the playoffs, so your condition may not be that hot. "

"..."

Edzhu paced.

I feel inexplicably high-spirited.

I, a rich second-generation, can do this for Penicillin!!
I'm already thinking about whether to hold a signing ceremony and invite Hedgehog Club to record the whole process! These fans will definitely leave thousands of comments under the official blog to praise him as the boss.

"quack!"

Edzhu laughed like a goose, leaving Maokai in a state of confusion.

Knowing the new bottom line of concessions, Abu was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, I will continue to follow up."

It's time for the second week.

Instead of weakening, the attention of the entire network has become even more heated because KT has joined the pursuit.

The reason why KT wants Penicillin is because PawN's back injury is too serious, and they must find a strong mid laner to realize the club's ambitions.

but.

This is different from the LPL which is still holding its breath and can only make wild guesses.

11 month 11 day.

SKT first announced the news of Kouma's departure, and then Kouma published a long article, talking about his feelings over the past few years and decided to change the environment.

To put it simply: coaching a top club like SKT is too stressful, causing him to become a little nervous and suffer from frequent insomnia, so I'm going to take it easy for now.

Below the announcement.

More than 90% of them were cursing, cursing that Kouma was stubborn and that the tactics he arranged were not good, and then they cursed as usual. To outsiders, this meant that SKT fans had not forgiven Kouma.

It was after Kouma took the initiative to be eliminated.

Some fans who are not so aggressive feel that they can accept each other.

Another day.

Qin Hao knew that IMP wanted to go to JD or RW, and silently sent his blessings.

after an hour.

Li Zhengtai sat in a coffee shop and called to confirm: "It's not too late to regret now. I admit that the conditions they offer are the most liberal, but the price of freedom is that they have no reserves."

The agent's voice came from the speakerphone.

Qin Hao replied: "I rarely regret anything."

ten minutes later.

Guo Hao suppressed his throbbing heart and hurriedly got off the car. He swore that he had never been so excited when he was dating his girlfriend for the first time. When he found Li Zhengtai waiting in the coffee shop in advance, he felt like his heart was about to stop.

"The transfer window is still a few days away." Guo Hao wanted to slap himself. He had thought of so many words from the time he received the call to the time he rushed over from the hotel, and in the end, he said this.

"Don't worry, a verbal agreement is still an agreement. As long as the conditions you agreed to remain unchanged, our attitude will not change."

Li Zhengtai blinked and said, "In fact, even if we are not comfortable with the cooperation, we will wait until the contract ends. Please trust Penicillin's professionalism."

Li Zhengtai gave a preventive measure.

Although his first target was not Top after these few days of contact, but since Qin Hao was willing, Top was his choice.

Also.

His first impression of Guo Hao was actually good, but the team's soft power was relatively weak and lacked foundation.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Guo Hao jumped and danced with his fists clenched.

"Sir, no noise is allowed here."

In the waiter's eyes looking at the idiot, Guo Hao has his own heroic spirit. Opposite him, Li Zhengtai doesn't know if this choice will be good, but he knows that this may be the manager with the most e-sports temperament he has ever met.

It's rare to have such passion.
