LOL: You don’t want to be broadcast live on the entire network, right.?

At the same time, the All-Star voting has been finalized.

There was naturally no suspense in the LCK voting, as all five players from SKT won first place!
Of course, some positions were controversial, such as the jungler position. Many people chose Ambition, and Ambition was also far ahead of Xiaohuasheng at the beginning.

However, when LCK viewers learned that this might be the last time that the five SKT players would compete together, they chose to vote for Peanut in the hope of bringing all five SKT players together.

Just when everyone thought they could see SKT's last dance, an accident happened.

LCK officials stated that each team can only have a maximum of two players participating.

In this way, although all five SKT players are ranked first in the vote, three of them cannot go and need to be replaced by the second place.

The two people who can go are the ones with the highest votes, Chen Yiqiu and Li Xianghe.

Chen Yi Qiu received 98.5% of the votes in the top position.

This number can no longer be described as exaggerated, it is simply insane!
This is the highest vote rate in all All-Star voting in any season.

Moreover, it is almost impossible to break.

Even Faker only received 88.6% of the votes in the mid lane position.

The gap between the two is not simply ten percentage points.

The jungle position was replaced by the second place Ambition.

The bottom lane is from Longzhu Team, Pray and GorillA.

Chen Yiqiu is also paying attention to the situation on the LPL side. The five people sent by LPL are:
Top laner is 957, jungler is Mlxg, mid laner is Xiye, ADCUZI, support is Meiko, and the jungler is Firefox Fengge.

In addition, there is the LEC region, top laner sOAZ, jungler Jankos, mid laner PowerOfEvil, ADCRekkles, and support IgNar.

In the LCS region, top laner Hauntzer, jungler Mikeyeung, mid laner Bjergsen, ADCsNEAKY, and support aphromoo.

Many of them are familiar faces. They have met before, and even exchanged contact information, and can chat occasionally.

It’s early December and the All-Star Game begins.

This time it was held in the United States.

The LCK All-Star team flew to the United States two days in advance and checked into an e-sports hotel.

Professional players from other regions all stay in this hotel.

And the LPL is also about to set off.

However, this year's All-Star Game team is unusually large!

There are not only five players and a coach, but also the team manager and owner!

Originally, taking into account various logistics, about ten people would be enough.

Because this is not a very formal game, it is considered an entertainment game, and analysts and assistant coaches do not need to go.

But this time, there are more than 20 people on the LPL All-Star team!

At the same time, there have been various discussions about this All-Star Game online:

[Oh my god, I heard that many team managers and even bosses went to the All-Star Game this time just to invite Reaper back.]

【Faker is also a target of LPL now. It seems that someone wants to bring these two back together.】

[Is it such a big deal? If we pack them up and bring them back, won’t we be invincible? We will be invincible no matter which team we join. ]

[Is this true? If this is true, then I can forgive them for their previous defeat in the S-League.]

[I heard that this time Top Esports is entering the LPL with hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, and they are going to make a big splash.]

[This is truly a big deal. Those previous rich second-generations seemed to be just bragging.]

[No, I heard there are experts! Principal Wang is going too, and he is chartering a plane. He is not going with the LPL All-Star team, but he is going too.]

For a time, all kinds of rumors about LPL were flying around, and it felt like the entire LPL was mobilized.

Two days later, the All-Star Game began.

The five players of the LCK All-Star team plus coach H-Dragon came to the game together.

In the lounge, everyone is making final preparations before going on stage.

The five people came from three different teams, so the atmosphere was not as lively as usual. The other three were silently observing Chen Yi Qiu and Li Xianghe.

After all, the two of them are the absolute core, both in terms of status and technology.

H-Dragon, the coach, said: "This All-Star Game is divided into two parts, one is the competition between regions, and the other is the SOLO competition."

"Each region must select two players to participate in the SOLO competition. Why don't you five discuss among yourselves and see who would be the most suitable player to play in the SOLO competition?"

This coach is also in a difficult position. He is not Kkoma. Facing four-time champion mid laner Lee Sang-hyuk, as well as double FMVP and history's No. 1 top laner Chen Yiqiu, the pressure is enormous.

If we directly ask these two to go up for the solo, how will we explain this to the other three people?

The other three are also popular players, coming from strong teams and are core members.

If it weren’t for the core teammates, it would be impossible to participate in the All-Star Game.

So she could only take this approach that would not offend anyone and let the five people decide for themselves.

However, after he said this, no one took any action and no one was the first to stand up and speak.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yiqiu stood up and said, "Since the coach said so, come over here and let's discuss it."

Then the other three came over and the five of them gathered together.

"Is there anyone who wants to quit directly? Anyone who doesn't want to play solo?" Chen Yi Qiu asked.

GorillA, who was a support player, chose to quit directly: "I don't want to play. I can't play solo as a support player."

So there were only four people left, and Chen Yiqiu looked at Li Xianghe: "You must go up."

Li Xianghe nodded: "I will try my best. Of course, everyone will compete fairly."

Hearing this, Pray and Ambition suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Everyone is aware of Lee Sang-hyuk's personal abilities.

Lee Sang Hyuk said that we must compete fairly, so how could the pressure not be great?

So, Ambition chose to quit: "I'm a jungler, I'm not good at solo, you guys can do it."

That leaves only three people left.

Pray still seems to have some ideas. This kind of opportunity is rare.

Although there is an All-Star Game every year, it is good enough for a player to participate in it once in his career.

This is even harder to get into than the S game.

In the S League, at least there are three teams in one division, and there can be three players in the same position.

There is only one spot for each position in the All-Star Game.

Chen Yiqiu looked at the computer next to him and said, "We use the fairest method. The three of us will play a round-robin match. Winning a game will give us some points. In the end, we'll see who has the highest points."

Pray was stunned after hearing this: "Huh? I thought you guys were going to do rock-paper-scissors."

Chen Yiqiu paused and shook his head: "Rock, Paper, Scissors is completely random. Of course we have to choose the person with the strongest solo ability. What do you think, Li Xianghe?"

Li Xianghe smiled and said, "I agree with your point of view." At this time, Li Xianghe seemed very excited, he was looking forward to something!
So, Chen Yi Qiu and Li Xianghe's eyes met, the corners of their mouths raised, and the air around them became anxious.

Pray only felt the pressure suddenly increase. The aura of the two people in front of him were too strong. When the two auras collided, he, the third party, couldn't bear it first.

"Forget it, forget it, I give up, you guys go ahead." Pray softened. He felt short of breath just thinking about playing 1V1 with Chen Yi Qiu and Li Xianghe in a cycle. This SOLO match was not necessary.

Coach H-Dragon then said, "In that case, I will go and register."

As soon as H-Dragon left, someone came to the door and knocked: "Knock, knock, everyone from LCK, excuse me."

When Chen Yi Qiu heard it, he found the voice quite familiar.

So he turned his head and saw, wow, it was Principal Wang!
Principal Wang was standing at the door at this time, his eyes fixed on him.

"Chen Yi Qiu, can we chat?" Principal Wang greeted.

"He came to see me." Chen Yi Qiu explained to the other LCK members, then walked to the door and followed Principal Wang out.

The two stood in the corridor and chatted.

Principal Wang spoke first: "I heard that you are planning to leave SKT? Come to our IG. We can discuss how much salary you need."

Principal Wang was very straightforward and decisive in his speech. There was no other affectation and he got straight to the point.

Chen Yiqiu responded: "It's too early to talk about this. Now LPL..."

Principal Wang interrupted Chen Yiqiu and said, "The transformation of LPL is on the way. This time, our major clubs will work together with Fujii, and the transformation will definitely be completed in the end. You don't need to worry about this."

After hearing this, Chen Yi Qiu understood. He had been paying attention to the LPL affairs during this period, and there were many chaos on the domestic Internet.

For example, the ranked actors collectively jumped out to cause trouble, as if they wanted to go against Fujii and make the game environment more chaotic, forcing Fujii to make concessions in this regard.

There are also internet trolls who are trying to lead the discussion online, saying that Fujii's actions are just an internal power struggle and are not actually intended to purify the gaming environment.

These people are very brave to directly target the ponytail. After all, this affects the people who make a living, so the backlash is bound to be fierce.

But it was no use. Fujii's advancement was so decisive that no one could stop him.

At that time, Chen Yi Qiu felt that there was a strong force behind him pushing him forward. Now it seems that it is not just Fujii who is doing something, but also the owners of these clubs, such as Principal Wang.

If they join forces, they can indeed solve those problems.

Thinking of this, Chen Yiqiu responded: "I still need to think about it. Let's see. The transfer period hasn't arrived yet anyway."

Principal Wang nodded and said, "Well, if you have any conditions, you can tell me in advance. You don't have to worry about the salary. The salary I can offer is much higher than what you can get in SKT."

Principal Wang is indeed different from others. He always speaks directly and straightforwardly.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Contestant Reape! Contestant Reaper!"

Chen Yi Qiu looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a "wet nurse"!
To be precise, it’s a man who COSes a nanny!
Yes, it’s a man. It’s not easy to tell from his appearance alone, but the voice is obviously that of a man.

Principal Wang looked over and, having seen countless flowers in his life, took half a step back!
Chen Yi Qiu suspected that Principal Wang had never backed down when facing a "woman" except when facing his mother.

This is the first time.

Of course, the other person is not actually a woman.

Chen Yi Qiu recognized him, C9's ADC, the cross-dressing guy, Sneaky.

This man is famous for liking to wear women's clothes.

This time he came to participate in the All-Star Game, and it seems that he is planning to wear women's clothing COS to play in the game. I can only say that although he has no results, he is still good at it.

"Hello..." Chen Yi Qiu greeted.

Sneaky walked up to Chen Yiqiu, threw a wink, and said, "Have you considered joining us, Reaper? I heard from our boss that you are considering it. Why don't you make a decision?"

"I can COS different characters for you every day, which one do you like?"

"Uh..." Chen Yi Qiu was embarrassed on the spot.

Although he doesn't reject cross-dressing men, he doesn't like them nor is he interested in them.

"Principal Wang, what did you just say?" Chen Yi Qiu chose to change the subject, wanting Principal Wang to intervene.

"I have something else to do, bye." What he never expected was that Principal Wang, who had been strong all his life, would just run away.

In this way, Chen Yi Qiu could only face such a "beauty" alone.

"I'm still thinking about it. If there is any result, I will tell you as soon as possible. I have the contact information of your manager." Chen Yi Qiu tried to communicate with Sneaky.

Sneaky smiled charmingly: "Okay, I'll wait for you, you must come."

Sneaky didn't bother him and just left. Chen Yi Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Just after Sneaky was sent away, another guest came, Guo Hao.

Guo Hao strode over and greeted with a smile: "Contestant Reaper, what a coincidence, how are you doing recently?"

Compared with Principal Wang, Guo Hao was not so direct.

"Regarding the issues you raised earlier, we in LPL are making improvements step by step, and the higher-ups have issued a military order that the rectification must be completed before the transfer period."

"If Reaper has time, he can go back and take a look. The situation is completely different now."

Chen Yiqiu nodded: "Well, I have been following up on this issue. I know the specific situation. Although the rectification has not been completely completed, the effect is very significant."

Guo Hao rubbed his hands and chuckled: "Then can we consider discussing the next step of cooperation?"

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, footsteps were heard and Li Xianghe walked out.

As soon as Guo Hao saw Li Xianghe, his eyes lit up and he quickly greeted him, "Hello, Faker."

Guo Hao specifically switched to communicating in English.

Lee Sang Hyuk responded with, “Hello, hello.”

"I'm Guo Hao, the manager of Top Esports Club." Guo Hao introduced himself.

"Yeah." Li Xianghe nodded. He was actually very confused as he had never heard of this Top Esports Club.

Guo Hao explained: "We were just established and few people know about us. We are preparing for the new season and recruiting new players."

Li Xianghe understood, no wonder he wanted to find Chen Yiqiu.

Guo Hao extended an olive branch: "Faker, I heard that you are also planning to leave SKT now, or at least you are not rejecting this option? It just so happens that our team is still missing a strong mid laner to win the championship."

"Don't worry about salaries at all. We have sufficient funds. We have checked all the current LPL teams."

Li Xianghe did not answer directly, but glanced at Chen Yi Qiu subconsciously.

This smiling action was observed by Guo Hao.

As a veteran, observing people's words and expressions is a basic skill.

He knew at a glance that Li Xianghe definitely wanted to be on the same team with Chen Yiqiu.

At least he was more inclined to this result, so he said:
"We were the first LPL region to contact Reaper, and we made the fastest progress. Although we haven't reached an agreement yet, I think Reaper is not opposed to us."

Seeing that Chen Yiqiu did not deny it, Li Xianghe asked, "Besides us, which other players do you plan to recruit? Who is the head coach?"

Guo Hao replied: "These have not been decided yet. Our idea is to first find the cornerstone of the team, that is, the absolute core players. If you two don't mind, once it is confirmed, we can form a team around you." (End of this chapter)
