After organizing his words in a short paragraph, he turned his head and explained to Gu Xing in a low voice.
"Then he just talked about the conditions. He hinted to me how good the atmosphere of RNG was and how high the salary was. He wanted me to go over and play with him. As you know, Uzi is very good at supporting support..."
Gu Xing nodded understandingly.
He also has a certain understanding of Uzi's style of play and knows that players with Uzi's style are very supportive.
It takes a player with particularly strong laning ability to perfectly meet the requirements.
In some ways, Xiao Duan is indeed the best option on the market.
Compared to Matachuan, who is better at roaming, Duan Deliang, who is also a champion support, is definitely a good player in the lane!
In the S6 World Championship version where Karma, Zyra and Nami dominated the field, the support was all Earthbound Spirits, and the powerful laning ability shown by Xiao Duan was even stronger than the top LCK support!
Despite Zhen Lun's overall strength, Duan Deliang may not be as powerful as Wolf.
However, due to the help of the version, Wolf was unable to exert much rhythm and team-building ability. Duan Deliang was really ruthless in the pure competition of laning operations.
Just what Uzi wanted.
"He said that Xiangguo has a good temper," Xiao Duan asked Gu Xing curiously, "You and Liu Shiyu are very familiar with each other. Is this true?"
Gu Xing was shocked.
Uzi is just trying to trick people into telling lies!
If Liu Shiyu had a good temper, he would probably be a good gentleman all over the world!
"Xiang Guo has an average personality... Then what do you think?" Gu Xing was more concerned about Xiao Duan's thoughts, and his fingers on the armrest of the seat were beating uneasily.
"I haven't thought about it yet. After the award ceremony in the evening, I have to talk to Boss Ding."
This is what Duan Deliang said.
But ever since I received the olive branch from Uzi, I have been thinking and struggling until now.
In my heart I still prefer to stay in the team.
RNG was blown away by Uzi, but no matter how good it is, can it still have a strong championship team?
For me to leave the team that just won the championship and join you, the conditions must be particularly favorable, right?
Otherwise, go to RNG and go to Tuwuzi?
Duan Deliang has a good relationship with Uzi, but he is also very close to his VG teammates.
At least so far, the overall atmosphere of VG makes Duan Deliang feel very comfortable.
Uzi's attempt to play the favor card is basically unrealistic.
Moreover, Xiao Duan himself doesn’t quite believe Uzi’s rhetoric, saying, ‘If you and I join forces, the entire LPL will be defeated by ourselves. When the time comes, we will let the incense pot live in the bottom lane, and we will definitely win by pushing the opponent evenly’.
Just kidding, after the introduction of Uzi in the second half of S6, RNG had an endless debate on whether to use the mid-field auxiliary linkage or to focus on the bottom lane, and they didn't understand it in the end!
Looking at the process of facing H2K in the quarterfinals, it was obvious that Uzi made a compromise.
Let the entire RNG team play according to the established play style of the spring split.
Obviously, Uzi’s voice in the RNG team was not as high as expected. It is still unknown what will happen after Mata leaves the team!
Duan Deliang felt that it was hard to say what style of play he played in the past.
It's true that he is a champion support, but he doesn't know the place he comes to RNG. At most, he has the right to speak, but it doesn't mean that others have to listen to him.
Small paragraphs are self-aware.
I am introverted, hesitant and have no independent opinions on off-field matters. I belong to the type that just goes with the flow. I have poor team leadership and find it difficult to control the situation.
According to Uzi, RNG's two Korean players will leave the team during the transfer period, and the management wants to take the opportunity to form an all-Chinese team.
Even if you fill Mata's vacancy yourself, you still have to find a new top orderer.
It’s not that Duan Deliang is belittling his own family. There are really not many domestic top laners who can watch him.
Zhu Xiaolong and 957 are already the strongest group. One of them has to retire and the other is not for sale to WE. RNG can only choose from the others.
The restrictions of the all-China class are here, and the patchwork lineup makes Duan De conscience uneasy.
He still wants to play well next year, but if performance is considered, RNG does not seem to be the best choice.
What's more, to be fair, boss Ding Jun treats him very well.
I paid special attention to his family conditions, knowing that he was short of money, and thoughtfully paid his salary in advance so that he could buy a suit and carry some gifts back to his hometown in a decent manner.
It seems like a trivial thing.
But it is often this kind of thing that is easiest to win over people's hearts.
The tactical focus of RNG is not clear, and the upper limit of the personnel composition should not be high. Apart from salary, there seems to be nothing more attractive to him.
Duan Deliang already had an inclination in his heart, he just needed the last hammer.
The only uncertainty now is what lineup VG can integrate!
Gu Xing received an ambiguous answer.
But recalling Uzi's expression when he left this afternoon, I felt a little relieved.
Uzi's face turned maroon at that time, and he almost transformed into Guan Gong. It was obvious that the conversation with Xiao Duan was not very pleasant.
The awards for Manager of the Year and Club of the Year are being handed out on the stage.
There is no doubt that it is still VG.
The rich narration voice echoed throughout the stadium.
"The excellent signings have injected fresh vitality into the team, and the strong team reserves have been fully demonstrated. VG's take-off this year is no accident..."
Manager Lu Wenjun had expected this.
But when he and the club won the grand prize, they were still in high spirits and stood up to briefly celebrate with his colleagues and team members.
Gu Xing hugged him and watched Lu Wenjun strode onto the stage.
As soon as he looked away, he saw his boss Ding Jun taking the manager's seat and sitting next to him.
"The transfer period starts tomorrow, why don't we talk about contract renewal in advance?"
Ding Jun is very smart.
With VG Shangzhong retiring, the team's reconstruction is already a certainty.
He placed Gu Xing as his primary target for contract renewal.
This 19-year-old FMVP player is definitely the core of VG’s team building!
As long as Gu Xing's direction can be determined first, the follow-up work will be much easier to carry out.
Many players in the LPL region are probably eager to be teammates with Gu Xing!
"Look around," Ding Jun sneered, "the eyes of these managers are glowing green when they look at you."
Gu Xing glanced around and found that there were indeed many team managers peeking at him. After being noticed, some avoided looking, while others faced him calmly and waved hello to him.
"You are absolutely popular now..." Ding Jun told the truth.
A jungler of Gu Xing's level is a shark during the LPL transfer period!
"I'm not going to do anything frivolous. Let's negotiate terms directly." The boss's behavior remains the same.
Ding Jun never likes to play the emotional card at critical moments.
This trick is usually used subtly, and when the time comes, the balance in the opponent's mind will naturally tilt.
Gu Xing also liked a straightforward style of talking, so he listened attentively.
Under Lu Wenjun's loud acceptance speech at the center of the stage, Ding Jun whispered his price tag.
"Ten million a year."
"If the team performs well next year, the reward terms will not be less."
Gu Xing remained silent, still digesting the shock that this salary brought to him.
When he received a salary increase in September, his annual income had already exceeded one million.
But there is still a huge gap between it and tens of millions!
An astronomical figure that he had never imagined before entering the professional league was right in front of Gu Xing.
He couldn't even believe how quickly his salary was inflating.
"Don't be so surprised," Ding Junpin said, looking at his jungler's change of mood, but he looked calm, "I'll tell you directly, the value of all free agents during this year's transfer period will increase significantly."
Facing Gu Xing's slightly puzzled look, he simply explained, "Because the World Championship will be held in China next year, all the teams will want a share of the pie when they see us winning the championship."
VG won its first championship this year, and the club's popularity instantly rose several notches!
The number of followers on Weibo increased by hundreds of thousands in just two days. The number of followers on Bilibili, which was originally abandoned and rarely updated, only had a few thousand followers. After winning the championship, the number of followers increased to 200,000!
And the numbers keep rising!
All the clubs are very greedy.
The most important thing is that VG's success in winning the cup gave them hope.
LPL may win another Summoner's Trophy next year!
All managers know how much traffic there will be when the host country wins the championship!
In order to form a stronger lineup and compete for more powerful players, the salary quotations received by the team members will inevitably increase!
"I won't hide it from you. To be honest, the salary of jungler is generally lower than that of double C. This is caused by a combination of reasons..." Ding Jun talked eloquently.
Originally, the jungler was regarded as a tool role by everyone and was not as eye-catching as the C position.
This year, the jungle core play style came out, which directly made the jungler become the core of the team!
The status in the competition has increased, but various clubs have added new hidden dangers - the jungle changes too fast. Due to the particularity of the position, the jungle will be affected every time the version is updated, and it is difficult to guarantee the status of the players during the ups and downs.
Unstable factors will naturally cause salaries to fail to rise.
After Ding Jun finished speaking, he changed the subject, "But what I'm offering is the highest salary in the league today. You are the only one in the league who can offer an eight-figure salary."
Uzi's contract has not expired, let alone Mingkai.
Currently, the only person in the LPL who can get a super-giant contract is Gu Xing!
Gu Xing himself also wants to stay in VG. Everyone in the team, from the boss to the players, has a very close relationship.
There is no reason to leave.
"What do you say about next year's lineup?" Gu Xing glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Lu Wenjunzhi walking off the stage with great satisfaction, still whispering to the boss to ventilate his words and tell him a few things.
Ding Jun immediately gritted his teeth.
"Baixing, right? You even pried the corner of the wall to my head?"
He turned around and went to find the RNG boss in the back row.
Bai Xing was startled by the aggressive Ding Jun, and asked confusedly, "What's going on?"
Ding Jun, who is in charge of VG, is also a well-known figure in the domestic e-sports circle. He entered the industry very early and has a relatively high status.
Bai Xing only took over the royal family at the end of last year. In the reincarnation of the dirty land, he also accepted the favor of the VG second team and did not dare to confront the opponent head-on.
"You have to grab a small piece?" Ding Jun sat down next to Bai Xing and stated his intention straight to the point.
"Nico, don't try to trick me," Bai Xing was very alert, "Wuzi just went to Duan Deliang to reminisce about the past, and there was no illegal contact."
"Then I'll ask Xiao Gu to talk to Xiao Hu later," Ding Jun said ruthlessly, "We happen to be short of mid laners, and Xiao Hu might want to join... It doesn't matter if there's still one year left on the contract, I can afford the transfer fee. .”
"When the time comes, you buy Xiao Duan and I buy Xiao Hu, and everyone will have a bright future."
Bai Xing felt helpless, "Oh, what are you doing...don't make trouble?"
When he heard about the countermeasures that VG was going to take, he instantly lost his confidence.
How many mid laners in the LPL right now can turn down the opportunity to be a starter for a first-time championship team?
Even though Xiaohu has one year left on his contract, RNG can theoretically veto the deal, but if Li Yuanhao really wants to leave the team, the team will be unable to do so.
Even if the person is left behind, Xiaohu’s soul will probably be gone. How can RNG still play?
Bai Xing has never been exposed to Xiao Duan before, but he only heard from Uzi that Duan Deliang's laning level is the strongest support he has ever seen.
Judging from the performance in the global finals, the reputation is not in vain, and the laning ability is very exaggerated.
It happened that Mata was about to leave the team, so he tacitly allowed Uzi to contact Duan Deliang.
But if compared with Xiaohu, Bai Xing will definitely keep the mid lane.
Not to mention the high status of the mid laner, Xiaohu is a player that he attaches great importance to. Back then, the reason why the Reincarnation of the Dirty Land was so complicated was to buy the rising star Li Yuanhao.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiaohu is the core of the current RNG team, and Bai Xing cannot let him leave!
"The transfer period starts tomorrow. Is it okay if I make a fair offer?" He took a step back and proposed a solution.
Ding Jun saw that enough was enough and stopped pressing any further.
After all, everyone is involved in clubs in the circle, and there is no need to show off their faces.
He returned to his seat and went to look for Xiao Duan. The two squatted there and whispered.
When Gu Xing saw his boss's happy face, he knew that things were probably going to be okay.
The best lineup of the year is being awarded on the stage, and nominations will be announced starting from the previous unit.
Long Ge, Looper, AmazingJ and 957 are on the list.
However, neither of the last two players entered the World Championships, so they were basically just running alongside them.
Gu Xing saw Jin Yibo standing on the stage still showing off his words, causing the audience in the back row to scream, and finally opened the envelope.
"VG. Loong, congratulations!"
With a smile on his face, Allen Chu stood up and went to find his teammates.
Gu Xing received a bear hug, smiled and said some flattering words, congratulating the other party on getting enough personal honors before retiring.
When Zhu Xiaolong ran onto the stage, he heard that Ding Jun on his right was still chatting with Duan Deliang about emotions and reasons.
"I will definitely not mess up next year. You see, I spent so much money in S5 and didn't even make it to the World Championship. Didn't I spend a lot of money to buy people this year?"
"As soon as the transfer period opens in the early morning, RNG will definitely ask you for an offer. I will follow up and I will never treat you unfairly in terms of salary."
Ding Jun's banknote ability is trustworthy.
If you really want to compare with top rich second generation people like Wang Sicong, his net worth is not high.
But Ding Jun is willing to spend money on e-sports, and VG's operation is quite formal, and it can be regarded as a wealthy family in the domestic field.
"Look, Xiao Gu has been taken care of by me, now it depends on your plan." Ding Jun said boldly.
"Hey, hey, we haven't officially signed the contract yet, okay?" Gu Xing interrupted, "If you stay, Xiao Duan, we will be together."
He is very satisfied with the salary.
The only concern is the lineup.
With Zhong Shangdu retiring, Gu Xing wanted to ensure that VG was sufficiently competitive.
Whether Xiao Duan can stay in the team is the top priority!
Duan Deliang thought so too.
He recognized his position as the core of the team.
As long as your own jungler is still there, the team limit will be raised to a very scary level.
Besides, the boss’s behavior doesn’t look like he’s trying to show off!
There won't be much difference in salary, and Xiao Duan will definitely like to stay in a more familiar environment.
Except for Uzi, RNG has no advantage in any aspect.
The lineup is strong enough, so he has no reason not to agree!
"The transfer period started early this morning. I have sorted out the contract. If everyone is satisfied, just sign it in the hotel." Ding Jun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nosuke and Nosuke nodding.
In today's general environment, top domestic Nosukes are in short supply.
Especially the auxiliary.
Except for Meiko, who is not for sale, only Hirano Aya and Kodan are strong enough. The former's condition continues to decline, and he feels a bit like a god of death.
The quota limit of the foreign aid policy has caused the price of household registration for domestic players to soar, and the variables have also increased.
Ding Jun had formulated a strategy before he came and kept Nosuke first, then everything would be easy to talk about.
Now that he has won the first battle, he is full of confidence in the transfer period.
Brother Long delivered his speech on the stage without any distractions. He didn't have to think about trivial matters during the transfer period. Now that he has the award in hand, he just feels that his life is complete.
"Thank you to my teammates, Xiao Gu who has always been a steady carry, Hou Ye who has a steady and reliable playing style..." Zhu Xiaolong told his teammates one by one, even Jack, and finally paused before making a joke.
"And World 6, Shirokiri Kurogane's mole who leaked the photos of us watching the reverse sunrise, I have to thank you too."
The world girl laughed loudly.
There were thousands of spectators in the stands at the back, and they burst into laughter after hearing this.
Jin Yibo came to power again and started to repeat his old tricks, and also wanted to show off when announcing the best jungler of the year.
It's a pity that the audience didn't buy it this time.
They all guessed that the winner was none other than Gu Xing, and there was no suspense just like the best newcomer!
Seeing that no one agreed with him, Jin Yibo could only smile awkwardly and announce the final winner.
Gu Xing watched the award ceremony before the game and knew that the big one hadn’t come yet.
Therefore, when he went on stage to receive the award, he only said a few beautiful words. When he returned to his seat, Ding Jun delivered another good news.
Red rice won.
"Good guy, is it so efficient?" Gu Xing was very surprised.
Ding Jun puffed up his chest and looked proud, "We have the money, okay?"
Gu Xing looked at Hongmi, who was a few seats away from him, and just finished looking at each other.
With his assistant and coach staying on the team, he instantly felt that this chaotic transfer period didn't seem so bad.
"We can continue to cooperate next year!" Easyhoon was very happy.
Hongmi also smiled contentedly.
Ding Jun just came over to increase his salary, and the treatment given is quite good.
The salary he gets is definitely not comparable to that of star players.
However, in the coaching industry, the salary received by Hongmi is considered a high salary!
Under normal circumstances, he doesn't like to lead a star team that has already achieved results.
Mainly because my efforts are thankless.
The victory of the team is all due to the players. They are already strong and cannot show the ability of Hongmi.
He still had to take the blame for losing the game, and was scolded by forum netizens for BP's poor operations and lack of coaching, which delayed their star players...
Therefore, Hongmi prefers to teach new teams that start from scratch, and playing development games gives them a greater sense of accomplishment.
It will also be very beneficial to your own reputation and coaching reputation.
But in the final analysis, the reason for this kind of thinking is that Redmi wants to make money.
He has been in the e-sports industry for such a long time, it’s hard to say how much he loves it.
It is the means to support the family and the sense of responsibility to do things with money.
Salary naturally becomes an important factor that Hongmi considers.
Now Ding Jun directly raises his salary in one step, and Hongmi stays on without saying a word!
Li Zhixun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Jin Yibo on the stage.
"The mid laner of the year is...Easyhoon!"
Amid thunderous applause, Li Zhixun, Gu Xing and others hugged and hurried to the stage.
After receiving the small trophy from the guest, he came to the microphone and showed gratitude.
"I came to the LPL from South Korea a year ago. I can't speak Chinese, and I don't know what my teammates and living environment are like," said Easyhoon, who speaks fluent and standard Mandarin. "I feel very lucky."
"Every member of VG is very kind and has given me meticulous care inside and outside the arena..." He raised the trophy in his hand, "This best mid laner award is also due to your contributions."
Easyhoon had prepared the draft in advance, and now eloquently said, "In just one year, I won the league championship, the world championship, and tonight's German Cup championship. For me, it is definitely a dream season.
"
"It is my honor to work with you."
He did not forget to add, "Thank you also, Xiao Gu. Without you, I probably wouldn't have been able to make it to the end on this difficult road."
While speaking, Li Zhixun looked at Gu Xing in the audience with gentle eyes, "I always remember your encouragement to me."
"I have had a very happy time in China," he said sincerely, "and I hope to contribute as a coach in the future."
Easyhoon bowed in thanks.
Reluctant shouts could be heard in the stands.
Lee Ji-hoon showed an elegant and easy-going smile and waved goodbye to his supporters.
Throughout his career, he has been to the top of the mountain and also to the bottom.
Li Zhixun worked hard every moment with 100% effort. Throughout his career, he cherished his feathers like a yellow rooster and an eagle, and there was never a single bit of negative news.
He leaves no regrets.
From the moment he defeated SKT and personally destroyed the Red Dynasty, Lee Ji-hoon's career was perfect.
The brief sentimental moment came to an end and the awards ceremony continued.
The award for top scorer of the year was won by Goo Sung Bin.
As the only shooter double champion in the history of League of Legends, he completely crushed players in the same position in the LPL!
The first four positions were awarded, and netizens in the live broadcast room immediately started talking about it.
[You won’t give vg the five best lineups, right?]
[Otherwise, EDG and RNG didn’t have any results in international competitions in the first half of the year, so how can they win awards?]
[Qie, RNG, and VG all have them. Mata wants to trick Zyra the Windspeaker. There is no chance of sharing the cake with him! 】
[However, it is true that the best lineup is dominated by one team. It is outrageous. It is the first time in history.]
[This is how the first championship in the competition region looks like, Sister Li, let’s take a look]
During the discussion, Jin Yibo awarded the last best lineup.
"Best Support of the Year, VG.Caveman!"
Duan Deliang's hanging heart fell heavily to the ground.
He originally thought that the official would really divide the cake and give the best support to Meiko or Mata.
He was extremely happy to receive the award and happily accepted the congratulations from his teammates.
Next are smaller awards such as Marketing Club of the Year.
The official finally stopped letting VG dominate the game and distributed it to various clubs who came to attend the awards ceremony.
And Ding Jun is discussing something with Gu Shengbin, the last hurdle of contract renewal.
However, Gu Xing looked from a distance and felt that the situation was not optimistic.
Until an hour later.
The last award of the award ceremony-the annual MVP is about to be born.
Only then did Gu Xing straighten his back.
"The annual MVP is an award established by our LPL to praise players who have outstanding performance inside and outside the competition region. It is also the most valuable award..." Jin Yibo introduced on stage.
“Let’s see who are the outstanding players on the shortlist of nominees!”
RNG’s list is Xiang Guo.
As the hero of the Spring Split, although his performance in the World Championship was average, looking at the whole year, he was still pretty good.
EDG is Deft. Kim Hyuk Kyu showed terrifying dominance in the league this year, and his partnership with Meiko once swept through other bottom lane combinations in the LPL.
It wasn't until Xia Jue that they were beaten to pieces by the VG duo!
The number of MVPs in the 20 rounds throughout the year can be said to be terrifying!
Some EDG supporters who came to see Deft off in the stands saw their shooter appear on the big screen and let out deafening screams.
Next came Gu Xing, with various data listed next to him.
The winning rate for the whole year was 91.4%, the battle-loss ratio was as high as 11.2, and the average economic lead per game was +2208!
The extremely exaggerated data performance caused waves in the stands!
The audience knows where Gu Xing's winning rate is, and the data must not be bad.
But I didn’t expect it to be so scary!
"Xiao Gu, you are such a god!" Duan Deliang was so excited that his voice trembled.
Gu Xing stared at the stage.
"The winner of the 2016 LPL MVP is..." Jin Yibo slowly opened the envelope.
The result was chosen by a vote of judges, and he really didn't know the result.
Taking out the card, Jin Yibo smiled broadly.
"Virtue, congratulations again!"
The big screen screen that originally focused on the three candidates switched to Gu Xing.
The scene suddenly erupted into cheers that filled the sky!
The FMVP of the World Championship is simply what everyone expected!
The spotlight from the dome poured down to illuminate Gu Xing's cheek.
He breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and hugged his teammates, management and coaches.
On the way to the stage quickly, a narrator was reading the award speech simultaneously.
"Although he is a newcomer, he has a mature strategy. His youthful spirit is unstoppable. He led the team like bright stars across the long night of the competition area and conquered the entire Summoner's Rift in just half a year..."
Gu Xing took the trophy from Jin Yibo.
"Thank you all for your continued support," he said with a bright smile. "Winning this trophy is a recognition of my hard work over the past six months."
"I would also like to thank my teammates for their help. Without their sacrifice, I would not be able to do whatever I want in the jungle..."
"Next year, it will be difficult for us to continue to fight side by side on the court," Gu Xing glanced at his teammates in the audience, his voice was low and steady, "But I will always remember the good times of these six months."
"This is the most unforgettable memory of my career."
Li Zhixun and Zhu Xiaolong took the lead in applauding. The applause in the gymnasium was gurgling at first, and then it gathered into a huge wave of sound!
In the distance, there were still little lights shining on the stands, shining as brightly as the stars in the night sky.
Gu Xing had just adjusted his mood after stepping down.
Ding Jun brought bad news.
"Imp does not intend to renew the contract."
Gu Xing frowned, "Then which club is he going to?"
Ding Jun spoke slowly.
"He doesn't plan to stay in the LPL."
"Imp is going to Europe."
The lines buried before will always be used, including Shi Senming.
