LOL: Brother Koi, stop showing off!

Chapter 9 Multi-Party Dialogue
"Awaited."

"Brother Jin, we have just arrived."

In the large hotel next to the Huangpu River, Li Jin walked into the private room and saw Aluka, Ruofeng and our manager Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng is a member of the club's management and can represent Pei Le's wishes.

Pei Le is not only the founder of the WE team, but also a veteran figure in the Chinese e-sports field. Renhuang Sky, Infi, etc. were all trained by him.

Aluka and Li Jin exchanged words, and Big Nose, who was sitting in his seat, stood up to greet him enthusiastically.

"Li Jin, long time no see!"

"It's been more than three years, and you are much more handsome than before. Gao Xuecheng and Ming Kai will definitely envy you when they see you."

Li Jin laughed and said to himself that we take him very seriously, otherwise why would he be so polite with his big nose?

"The Wind Team is equally impressive. Faker often told me that if the opponent is a killer in the middle, even he has to be cautious."

Manager Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

Li Jin may be lying, but Ruofeng couldn't help but smile. The big devil is too popular now.

They exchanged some pleasantries and the waiter started serving the food.

Special dishes such as Songjiang calcium fish, chicken bone sauce, and sweet-scented osmanthus meat are often ordered.

Ruofeng was invited by Manager Zhao, and she had the most topics in common with Li Jin, and she could recall S2 during the meal.

For example, WE lost in the eight-hour online battle with CLG.EU in the quarterfinals.

For example, from the start of IPL 2012 in 5 to the LPL Spring Split the following year, WE had a record-breaking 48 consecutive victories.

Another example is that because of the TGA Winter Championship, WE became the first team to qualify after the LPL officially landed in China in 2013.

Although Li Jin, who was a substitute for the first team at the time, did not have such a high degree of participation, times have changed and now it is a common topic that can be discussed.

Manager Zhao talked about the current team of WE and their hopes for the summer split.

They also asked Li Jin about his Triple Crown experience when he was coaching OGN. Li Jin did not hide anything and talked about his work in analyzing versions, arranging player training, reviewing games, studying BP tactics, etc.

Ruofeng and Manager Zhao Alluka's eyes brightened after hearing this.

"This is called professional!"

Manager Zhao admired inwardly.

Professional e-sports coaches are much more than just BP and review. They also have to find ways to make the five players work together to make the players realize their problems and shortcomings from the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, the players' strength can be improved. Thereby establishing a professional and strong team.

However, it is difficult.

The players have different personalities, and young people who can become professionals are somewhat arrogant. Why should these people listen to you?
Manager Zhao looked at Li Jin and felt that the problem was solved.

The person in front of me has three S crowns + one MSi crown!
The people he leads are all the world's top players. Although they are not famous, their results are at the reinforced concrete level.

After joining WE, they launched a wave of publicity, and the star coach immediately joined WE, and the summer split gimmick was launched!

Looking at Li Jin's appearance again, Manager Zhao was even more satisfied.

60e Ladies and sisters, are you tempted or not?
He was excited. Seeing that the food was almost finished, his emotions were in place. Knowing that several teams were eyeing him, he went straight to the point and wanted to finalize the matter.

"Li Jin, I think you are a perfect match for WE."

"We can give you a salary quotation that satisfies you, and you can rest assured about the team's status."

"The right to speak must be in place!"

"Starting from the summer split, I hope you can join WE"

Li Jin looked at the cheerful Manager Zhao and felt good in his heart. Although coming to WE this season is full of challenges, he can still give it a try.

Just as he was about to speak, Manager Zhao paused and said the next words.

"You will be the coach of WE!"

"Using your championship experience to hone your skills, this group of talented young people will surely shine even brighter."

whip?
Hmm. Pointer?

Li Jin was slightly surprised, but then he thought about it. He had been talking about his coaching experience, and that was why he came here.

"Wait a minute, there's something I didn't say clearly."

"I parted ways with SKT because of differences over the arrangements for the summer split."

"They wanted me to continue coaching, but I wanted to go out there and play games."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he found that the expressions of the three people opposite him had changed.

Then, he repeated the two conditions he told Kkoma.

"Brother Jin, are you kidding?"

"Of course I'm serious."

After Li Jin answered Aluka's words, Ruofeng said nothing and looked at Manager Zhao who was thinking with one hand on his mouth and nose.

"Well, there's still some time left in the summer transfer window."

Manager Zhao smiled politely: "Both of us should think about it again. After all, it is a major event related to a season."

"should"

……

"Brother Feng, what do you think?"

Ruofeng said: "I feel that Li Jin is capable, otherwise he would not risk leaving SKT."

Aluka persuaded from the side: "Brother Jin plays very well as a support player. His big account can reach the top ten in the national server. I have played with him in double queue and I was surprised by his operation."

Hearing this, Manager Zhao sighed slightly.

"I understand what you are saying, but why he left SKT, only he and SKT know best."

"If Li Jin were to be the coach, I would have no problem recruiting him with a high salary in the budget. He has the level. But if he wants to play games, as an operator, I have to consider the risks when giving salary, and I didn't have any plan before coming. He has never proven himself in the professional arena."

"Our starting lineup has become stable, and we can still try and make mistakes in the spring split. In the summer split, we have to compete for S-match spots. Changing the lineup requires adjustment, which may destroy the previous system."

"He is not like Mata. Mata can serve as a team leader as a support because it has been proven by practice, but Li Jin does not. So as a player, how can he convince his teammates to control the key rhythm?"

"The players in the team are not that easy to talk to. I don't want to cause a new round of conflicts."

"and"

"He has missed the golden age of professional players." After hearing what he said, Aluka and Ruofeng fell silent.

Indeed, the summer split is all about sprinting.

Whether to participate in the S competition or not, the team's attention and influence are completely different.

"Okay, you go first."

"I'm going to persuade Brother Jin to change his mind. Triple Crown coach, it would be a shame to suddenly switch players!"

Aluka volunteered.

Ruofeng and Manager Zhao patted Aluka on the shoulders respectively.

"If we can do it, Aru will be our hero."

Afterwards, Aruka returned to the Huangpu Hotel to talk to Li Jin.

He wanted to persuade Li Jin to join the coaching bench and successfully join WE.

But there’s not enough time for a cup of tea
Aluka sighed with emotion: "Brother Jin, I fully support you."

……

When Aluka left in the car to say goodbye to Li Jin, his heart was filled with ups and downs. He was impressed by Li Jin's pursuit spirit.

Break out of SKT's strong comfort zone and pursue your boundless dreams.

How many people in the entire professional circle have such courage?
"So what if I'm 22 years old? It can still be the beginning of my career. If I didn't even have this courage, would I have dared to take the step towards OGN in S3 that year?"

Li Jin's words, as well as his determined eyes and confident and handsome face echoed in Aluka's mind.

"Brother Jin is really special."

In the taxi, Aluka muttered.

Li Jin's words also shone on him, and combined with his own career, Aluka was greatly touched.

……

On the other side, Li Jin didn't think too much.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, he met with people from the OMG operations department again.

The pleasant exchange ended when Li Jin said that he wanted to be a player. After hearing his specific requirements, the OMG manager said, "Give everyone some time to calm down," and then
He ran away.

In the evening, Abu and a young man with a pothead appeared in front of Li Jin.

Like Ruofeng's meeting, Li Jin exchanged a few words with the factory director.

When they introduce serious topics.

Abu, who was originally very talkative, seemed a little silent after Li Jin expressed his thoughts.

In other words, Abu didn't turn around and didn't know what to say.

It was like hearing Uzi suddenly say: Brothers, I hit Yasuo.

The sense of déjà vu is quite different.

The factory director gave some advice, but he found out that someone was incompetent.

"Li Jin, if you join the EDG coaching staff, the club will not treat you badly."

He was very sincere, but Li Jin still declined.

"why?"

"An unrealistic dream."

The factory director and Abu studied Li Jin's dream and finally left, leaving only the words "good luck to you."

……

The concerns of these teams are similar to those of WE Manager Zhao before.

However, there are also teams full of sincerity.

The next day, RNG’s fly coach and people from the operations department came over to invite Li Jin.

"No problem, we can arrange for you to play in the game. Whether it is a rotation with Mata or other positions, we can discuss it. As for the command rights, as long as there are a few trial games, it will be no problem, and the club will agree."

"Why are you so confident in me?" Li Jin was a little confused.

The person in the operations department was wearing a white shirt, and he was straightforward:

"Because you have value, once you come to RNG, we will help you plan and promote your reputation from within the professional circle to outside the circle. In today's LPL environment, there will definitely be many fans interested in you. .”

"The other point is what Mata told us."

Coach Fly answered: "He said you are special and an important part of winning the championship."

Li Jin did not resent their frankness.

RNG currently gives the most trust to a few teams.

but
He then saw a thick contract handed over by the operations staff.

In addition to the basic salary of 3 yuan, it also comes with bonuses for performance, personal data, fan influence, etc. There seems to be a lot of room for salary increases.

only.
Use of portrait rights, attendance at commercial events, advertising endorsements, and personal value development.
Li Jin saw a lot of terms, including very convoluted transfer terms and various instructions on priority contract renewal, and he had to sign a three-year contract with Li Jin.

"I feel RNG's sincerity and I will seriously consider it."

"..."

In the past, other teams would leave a word and then run away, but now it's Li Jin's turn to leave a word and run away.

Nima
It’s really hard not to run. Once the contract is signed, I will become the mascot.

……

That night, Li Jin returned to the hotel window and looked at the night scene outside, feeling the evening breeze blowing, feeling quite melancholy.

Is it
Is it that hard to find a team that trusts me?
Can’t you play “Trust Esports” for one season?
I'm afraid verbal talks won't work. He needs to try out like a new player in the team, so that those teams can see his playing ability.

Li Jin didn't want to take this step.

It’s so frustrating. I just won the MSI championship and now I have to endure hardships?
However.
At eight o'clock in prime time, a sincere call came to his mobile phone.
