Chapter 387 A New Beginning, a New Team
Hangzhou.

LGD club.

office.

"RuRu, you're making me dizzy from walking around like that."

Pan Fei flicked the ash off his cigarette and protested quietly, "It's come to this, what's the point of getting angry?"

"What do you mean it's come to this? You mean I'm sorry for him?!"

The Queen Mother was like a lion, strode around the room with her arms folded across her chest. Except for General Manager Pan, no one else had the desire to speak.

In fact.

They couldn't stay anyway.

Even if Qin Hao is soft-hearted and reserves the entire budget for the middle lane, then what?
You can't expect Penicillin to add a few second-team rookies to create a dynasty. To put it bluntly, it's just that the business was good this year, otherwise the seat fees alone would have drained the budget.

The Jin and Yuan dynasties arrived.

LGD is so weak, how can it compete with e-commerce? JDG can offer IMP an annual salary of 2 million for 3000 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 is here."

The aunt came in with a big bag of lunch boxes, ignored the atmosphere, 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 it."

RuRu was not in the mood to eat.

From the time Penicillin was suspected of leaving the team until now, the calls from sponsors have never stopped.

What’s even more frustrating is that the other party was so cruel that he didn’t even give her the chance to play the emotional card.

From start to finish.

It's all agents who come forward.

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

She is a woman, struggling alone in such a jungle society.

Not only did LGD become a talent cradle for CN Dota, but it also produced two talented Chinese mid-laners, Godv and Penicillin. When other teams had to find Korean mid-laners to reach the threshold of the world championship, 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 like "If you don't have this family, we'll break up", most of the team members couldn't stand it. She knew 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.
Yes.

From MSI to the end of the World Championship, Qin Hao has been attending business activities. Even if he has a sullen face, it is normal that most professional players stay at home and don't like to run around.

She didn't think there was anything strange, and even thought about repairing the relationship when renewing the contract, using money and affection to buy back warmth...

"Cough cough."

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

RuRu glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"

"Seven sponsors have indicated that they will not renew their contracts." The branch manager stated the substantial difficulties: "This season, our only goal is the playoffs."

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

"He thought our price was too high."

"Why didn't you dislike it before?"

"Nonsense, how can a club compete with popular players in terms of traffic? Recently, Weibo has been full of Penicillin..."

"Don't mention him!"

RuRu suddenly burst out: "2 million a year, Top, this is a bad rule."

If LGD hadn't won the championship, RuRu wouldn't have signed with Penicillin for only one year. Because after retaining the championship team, she felt that at worst they could make it to the World Championship, and it would definitely not be a loss.

But what is Top doing?

It's a sin to give away your money to the poor!

The good old days of being able to tie up a player for a few hundred thousand are gone, and all the risks are passed on to the club. If the player spends money but fails to perform well, there is no way to stop the loss. He will be a free agent at the end of the year.

Clay figures also have three points of fire energy.

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

I thought that after a year of running-in with Top, they were just qualified to compete for a spot and prepare to challenge for the championship the following year. However, during the transfer period, Penicillin repeatedly tore off his warm and affectionate side.

Thinking of this, RuRu even felt a little happy.

The job of e-sports is not that easy.

It is better to trust the contract than the character of the person.

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

"This is the second-time champion jungler."

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

"What does he think?"

"He said he wanted to rest."

"Where's Karsa?"

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

“What’s the highest offer?”

"Three million signing fee."

RuRu stamped her feet and said: "I would rather let it rot in my hands than sell it cheaply."

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

"Have you talked to C-Bo?"

Speaking of PYL, the team leader was more animated: "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 all these days.

~~~
C Bo: Brother, there’s nothing I can do. I just want to relax.

Send out the message.

I saw smlz asking him about the tryout again. C blog replied with a few words, then closed the WeChat interface and continued watching the anime.

PP has been chatting with him quite a lot these days.

but.

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

If Qin Hao hadn't fed him some chicken soup when he had nothing to do, he would have quit long ago.

even so.

Even after winning the championship, I still feel empty inside.

When the passion fades, only fatigue remains——

Thinking of the endless rank and training matches, C Bo really didn't have the courage to continue to stay with Qin Hao. Besides, not playing games for a month would make the adjustment 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, he would definitely continue to fight, but he is 24 now and it is time to think about retirement. For him, the biggest benefit of staying in LGD is that he can retire with a good reputation among the public.

And once the transfer.

Apart from the slightly higher salary, the new team's fans will inevitably look at them with a magnifying glass.

He is not a monster like Pu Pu or PP. He also knows that he feels dizzy during the game and cannot remember so much information.

What’s more, the preseason version has been greatly changed.

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

It was the off-season, so he went to the Korean server to play a few games, but he didn't figure it out at all.

He is an elderly assistant.

Is the cost of learning so high?

After getting used to the values ​​of Essence, C-Bo was indifferent to the new rune system.

What are the Determination Department, Domination Department, Precision Department, Witchcraft Department, and Enlightenment Department? I can't even understand them, let alone study them.

And in the outside world.

As many big Vs revealed, Top is suspected to have won the grand prize.

There are tens of thousands of comments under the official blog that was just renamed Top.

"I won't be wrong this time."

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

"How do you know I'm a long-time fan of Top?"

"Who is the Top?"

"Can Qingshen be interested in such a team?"

"..."

Some people join in the fun, while others don't believe it.

But because many big Vs have vowed that the investor behind Top is Belle International, there will be big moves in the new season.

So, under the leadership of some yellow cards, the official Top Weibo account suddenly gained more than 100,000 followers.

“We haven’t even gone public yet.”

office.

Guo Hao once again sighed 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 LPL's top traffic star.

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

A few minutes later.

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

"By the way, Cvmax didn't ask for much in terms of annual salary, but they asked us to set up a training team."

"As long as he's willing to ask for it."

For Guo Hao.

This is another good news.

With a suitable BP coach and the No. 1 mid laner, many things feel simpler. It's not like when I first took over DAN, I had to worry about everything.

"Take this opportunity to have the second team come over to recognize their faces." The deputy said happily, "This kind of opportunity to closely observe the top mid laner handling the game is not always available."

The deputy was very emotional when he said this: "I didn't expect Kouma to leave SKT. He is a signature player of SKT."

"He wanted to make some adjustments himself." Guo Hao could understand.

Guo Hao felt particularly energetic while chatting and thinking about the future.

How does the sentence go? I originally wanted to get along with you guys as an ordinary team, but now I’m revealing my cards. Hey, I have top players.

Thinking of this, Guo Hao pondered: "What do you think? Should we make the joining ceremony more stylish?"

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

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

Shoot a vlog?

How come it's like a wedding? It's meant to be a commemoration, right?

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

"He's not high-profile, right? Mercedes-Benz made commercials for him, and he was the main character in Fujii's promotional videos. We're just getting started."

Compared with the above.

It doesn't cost much.

When he said the last sentence, Guo Hao showed the same passion that he had used to pester Belle International to acquire DAN: "That's the arrangement!!"

"that……"

The deputy didn't know what to say.

However, considering the efforts Guo Hao has made and the boasts he has made, it really doesn't seem like a big deal to spend some money to be high-profile.

Not to mention just recording vlogs, if there is anyone who can rely on gossip to help Top gain hundreds of thousands of followers and become one of the top three traffic teams on Weibo, he would be willing to do it even if he is asked to serve tea and water every day.

Compared to work and bonuses.

What does the little bit of shame an adult has mean?

~~~
Training room.

The Cat and Ball brothers sat in the corner, watching one player after another come to grab the job. To be honest, when they knew Penicillin joined Top, they were confused.

Before they could get ecstatic, Brother Hao took the entire group out for a meal.

The dinner table.

Guo Hao drank a wheat drink with red eyes. After recalling his struggling life in Class A, he stood up and raised his glass to thank them for fulfilling his dream.

Then it was the classic amicable parting.

Karin, the second brother, and Lise were all passionate people. They said they wanted to leave on the spot. They were the only two still under contract. Guo Hao offered to help them find a team.

that's it.

The third week of November.

Maoqiu woke up at noon and found Guo Hao particularly excited. He kept looking at the time and rubbing his hands excitedly.

He guessed that it should be Qingshen who came from his hometown. After all, Cvmax had taken over the trial training work a few days ago and invited some high-scoring passers-by.

In such an atmosphere.

Cat felt like he was meeting the king, and he felt uncomfortable. After all, he had been with Guo Hao for so long, and he had never seen this side of him.

When he was fighting for the LPL spot, he was Brother Hao’s little darling, but now he has become Mrs. Niu!

This gap is hard for anyone to handle.

"Eh..." Cat sighed softly.

Instead, Qiuqiu stood on tiptoe and looked towards the gate, looking very expectant.

Yes, during the chats these past few nights, the King of Football still felt that he could cooperate with Penicillin and was not very willing to find another club.

"coming!"

Guo Hao received a call in advance.

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

"Should you be so exaggerated?"

It was respectful enough to clean up the place a day in advance, but someone was filming it? Cat didn't understand, but was shocked.

"This is the FMVP." The King of Ball showed his desire.

Look around.

First, a nanny car stopped at the gate of the base, and then Guo Hao waved to the camera crew to follow. Amid cheers, Qin Hao just got out of the car with a bunch of flowers hanging around his neck.

"This……"

Qin Hao almost fainted.

From the airport to now, Top Deputy Manager has been accompanying him all the way, making it impossible for him to close his eyes and rest. Okay, now that we have arrived at the base, there is a welcome ceremony. The problem is that this was not mentioned on the phone.

With the idea that “I’m not embarrassed, it’s others who are embarrassed”.

The cameraman said, "Lean your steps a little more, walk with more vigor... and swing your arms a little wider. That's good."

Qin Hao has extensive experience on camera.

After finally reaching the lobby on the first floor, Guo Hao found a team uniform from somewhere and gestured, "Come on, take a picture of me and Brother Hao!"

"..."

In Guo Hao's smile that showed his gums.

Photo freeze.

The atmosphere is harmonious.

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

The next day.

Qin Hao was chatting with Brother Mai about the preseason version when Guo Hao suddenly rushed in: "Xiao Hao, my God!" While Qin Hao was looking confused, Guo Hao talked about the reason for his excitement.

"Kouma is willing to come to Top?"

“Yes, I have been contacting the training team these days. I will use JDG’s connections to contact Korea and ask if there are any analysts willing to come to LPL.

As a result, I first received emails from Hongmi and Sun Dayong, and then received a call from Kouma. "

"Wait, are you talking about WE's coach?"

"Correct."

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

Hearing this, Cvmax waved his hands and said, "I need to study BP and other teams' games. I don't have that much time to manage the training."

Last year in LGD, Cvmax was a little unhappy.

Accustomed to the working environment of LCK, he feels that LPL does not attach importance to the work of the training team at all.

To put it harshly.

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

Perhaps S+ level performance is difficult to tap into due to limited talent.

But it is easy for LCK to cultivate world-level players.

Therefore, many OB accounts are puzzled. Why did they seem to be able to make some progress during their early days as passers-by, but when they looked again two years later, others had made a name for themselves in LCK, yet those original batch of domestic newcomers could still regress?

The game LOL has reached a professional level.

Knowing how to play is far more effective than showing off your skills and completing the tasks assigned by the team. There are many players in LCK who are not famous for their skills or reactions, but have the potential to win the championship.

Even in the dark ages.

LPL didn't lose to LCK due to operational reasons. On the contrary, it was LCK's willingness to fight that gave LPL a chance to win.

"Although I dislike that guy Kouma, he has quite a lot of connections."

Got this comment.

Top signed Kobe for $600 million a year.

at the same time.

Knowing that Top was short of a jungler, Kouma, who was far away in 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 catch-up mechanic has been changed to "Gain 50 experience points for each large and epic wild monster."

This indirectly increases the intensity of the game in the wild area.

Originally, the audience joked that jungle farming was unnecessary 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 successively, Kouma, Cvmax, Qin Hao and Guo Hao got together again.

Survey conducted according to Cvmax.

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

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

His blood-exchanging skills are not detailed enough, his reactions are sometimes fast and sometimes slow, he doesn't pay much attention to small skills, and his understanding of the minion line is very poor. But surprisingly, he dares to deal damage in team battles, and his control over distance is obviously stronger than in laning.

of course.

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

What about the other one?

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

When Kouma set his sights on smlz, Cvmax deliberately asked, "Why him?"

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

"and then?"

"Training is all about laning." Kouma analyzed: "The strengths and weaknesses of both players are very obvious. The area that easily widens the gap is actually the team positioning."

"Being more familiar with others will help you integrate more quickly. That's right."

"You also selected players in the same way in SKT."

"You know, it's rare that someone refuses to be teammates with Sang Hyuk."

Kouma smiled and said, "I have more experience than you in coaching super midfielders. After all, I have been coaching for four years."

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

but.

He actually enjoyed the feeling of bickering. Heart's nice guy nature made it difficult for him to get angry with others.

more importantly.

The training group can indeed solve the problem. The specific coordination may be complicated, but laning is definitely a common problem encountered in training. No doubt about it.

Qin Hao listened to the two people whispering for a long time.

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

Thinking of the days when Da Gou was sending smlz messages on WeChat, Qin Hao touched his wrist and said, "Huh?"

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

"You might as well let him be the supervisor!" Cvmax switched to Korean.

"It's not impossible."

Kouma said calmly: "My status in SKT is not higher than Sang Hyuk."

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

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

Kouma looked at Cvmax as if he was a retard.
