Su Chen was wearing headphones and sitting in front of the screen with a focused expression, his fingers dancing back and forth on the mouse and keyboard.
YM coach Meng Ma, boss PDD, including other analysts and coaching staff, all stood behind him attentively, watching the training match against Samsung.
In the canyon, the Qinggang Shadow controlled by Su Chen was building a base in front of the second tower on the red side of the bottom lane.
When the defense tower's health dropped to half, a red TP light lit up in the grass behind the Qinggang Shadow.
"Nar came here full of anger! Syndra and the prince have been hired from the jungle, can they leave? Can they leave?" Xiaotian's voice came out from the living room.
"I have Resurrection Armor! They can't catch me this time. You just turn to the dragon, I can hold them back!" Su Chen said immediately.
"okok." After clearing the line in the middle, his left hand controlled the plane and headed straight for the dragon.
Facing the double team of three people from the red side.
Su Chen first moved to deflect Syndra's qe push, and then used his ultimate move [Hex's Ultimatum] to cover Syndra while avoiding the prince's second EQ.
Although Gnar flashed up and opened up, he stunned the Qinggang Shadow and knocked it out of the resurrection armor.
However, Qinggangying, who stood up on the spot, still relied on flash and e-hook lock to escape from the three people's trap.
"You can do this! It's awesome!" pdd blurted out excitedly.
At the same time when Qinggangying faced the Red Party's three-man double-team and escaped to the limit.
YM also decisively defeated the baron, and then teamed up to continuously demolish the high ground in the middle.
Su Chen, who returned to the city to replenish his health, TPed onto the gun carriage that was attacking the incisor tower, allowing ym to smoothly demolish the red crystals in one wave.
Seeing that there was no hope of a comeback, the red side also chose to quit the game directly.
In order not to reveal the results in training matches, we usually do not choose to demolish the base at the end.
As long as both sides think that there is no suspense in the game, they will choose to exit the game directly and end the round.
After winning this round.
The training hall, which was originally quiet and could only hear the sound of the mouse and keyboard, suddenly became noisy.
The players took off their headphones one after another, and the assistant coaches and analysts who were watching the game began to discuss it.
"It's done, it's done, this is the last one of the afternoon, isn't it time to start dinner?" Xiaotian stretched out, looking a little tired.
"I thought they were going to fight back in the last wave, so I quit the game. I just had the Sixth God outfit..." He crossed his legs on the chair with his left hand and looked through the video of the game he just finished.
"It's a bit boring to play against the Hanguo team. We played two groups in 30 minutes. I almost fell asleep." Zhang Xiaowen finished a bottle of Coke and said with some unfinished thoughts.
Su Chen is also looking back at the videos of the training games that were played in the afternoon. He is not only looking at his own performance, but also reviewing the performance of others during the training games.
Overall, everyone is in good condition.
A week ago, ym officially ended its vacation.
The team members returned to the base one after another and began preparations for the 2018 LPL Summer Split.
Although ym won the LPL championship and MSI championship in the first half of the spring split.
However, the summer split is the highlight of the year.
The weight of points is higher, and the champion will directly advance to the group stage of the S competition as the No. 1 seed.
These are one of the reasons why the summer split is heavier.
Even YM, which has achieved great results in the first half of the year, if its ranking in the summer split is too low and its total points for the whole year does not rank among the top five in the LPL, it may lose the qualification to advance to the S competition and not even have the opportunity to play in the bubble competition.
"I played a little too hastily in the second half. Although the opponent retreated directly, I don't think it was necessary to tp under the incisor tower and forcefully end the game." After the discussion between Meng Ma and the coaching staff, he returned to Su Chen
This way.
"It is indeed a bit risky, but actually I pushed to the side lane, demolished the bottom lane high tower, and then continued the wave. I saw that the opponent had no intention of continuing to fight, so I thought it would be over as soon as possible." Su
Chen nodded.
"That's okay, it's you after all." Meng Ma smiled and didn't say much.
After the training match against Samsung, Meng Ma briefly reviewed the game in the training hall.
pdd had his hands on his hips, Xiao Ma was sitting on the table, and the other players and other members of the coaching staff were also surrounding Meng Ma. More than a dozen people at the scene listened carefully to his summary.
"Since we resumed training, we have played a total of 46 training matches in seven days. We have won 32 of them so far. This brings the winning rate to more than 70%. Taking into account some tactical arrangements... our winning rate was actually actually
It can be higher, but no matter what, if you are going to compete in the summer split in this state, you don't have to worry too much." Meng Ma said with a smile.
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work." pdd took the lead in applauding.
Xiaotian, Zuo Zuo, Zhang Xiaowen and others also showed relieved smiles.
After returning from Paris, ym received honors and applause, but at the same time, he also became the target of the entire lpl.
The remaining thirteen clubs all want to know the secret of YM's ability to defeat Samsung in the MSI.
Whether it's various black technologies for top order, or bottom lane double AP push routines.
The tactical concepts currently displayed by ym are undoubtedly at the forefront of lpl.
In the first half of the year, ym wanted to schedule a training match with an LPL team, and had to coordinate time and cooperate with other clubs' arrangements.
But now, basically as long as Mengma is willing, ym can guarantee that there will be training games 24 hours a day.
"Our coaching staff has sorted out the key content of the 8.12 version update, including the powerful heroes of the summer split, and sent it to everyone's mailboxes. There will be no training matches tonight. Please listen to the boss's arrangements." Meng Ma snapped.
Clap your hands.
"Eat first, eat first." pdd waved his hand.
The teenagers in the training hall immediately rushed to the dining room in their slippers.
After returning from a vacation, these ym candidates have transformed from "divided slaves" to "food slaves". Now as long as it is time to eat, if you move slowly, you may not be able to eat.
Su Chen turned off the computer and was about to have dinner when he was stopped by pdd.
"Lao Su, come and have dinner with us tonight, and meet with Mr. Pei's people by the way. As for the business contract I told you the day before yesterday, let's settle it all at once tonight," pdd said.
"Okay, then I'll go with you." Su Chen nodded.
Since ym ended its vacation and the players returned to the team.
pdd also officially returned to the base and took over the position of training manager.
Xiao Ma, who was originally responsible for this area, was transferred to the youth training department by pdd and was responsible for the specific matters of the ldl development league.
Xiao Ma himself had no objection to this decision.
He played the whole spring game, and to be honest, he was a little tired. His strengths are more in discovering players, and youth training is more suitable for him.
In addition to organizational structure adjustments.
pdd has also established a business department within the team, which is responsible for connecting with sponsors from all walks of life.
After winning the MSI championship, YM's traffic is no less than that of the current LPL's wealthy clubs, although the first-line brands that LPL officially cooperates with have already been determined.
However, there are still many brands that want to cooperate exclusively with ym.
Every contract means ym's operating income. We have invested a lot of pdd in the spring season and are preparing to take this opportunity to turn around the club's finances.
In fact, these matters were originally decided directly by the club's management, and there was usually no communication with the players.
However, the contract Su Chen signed with ym is quite special.
His live broadcasts and commercial endorsement contracts are all independent of YM, which is why pdd wants to talk to Su Chen.
The two left the ym base, got into pdd's Ferrari, and arrived at a villa area on the outskirts of Shanghai.
Su Chen jumped out of the car and looked at the private custom-made restaurant with the sign of "Mingyue Villa" in front of him.
He has been to this place several times.
In the Spring Split, when ym reached the playoffs and won the LPL championship, the celebration banquet was held here.
This is also one of the industries Mr. Pei invested in.
"Is it possible...are we going to chat directly with Mr. Pei today?" Su Chen suddenly felt more expectant.
From the time he officially signed with ym in the Winter Season last year until now, he has never met Mr. Pei in person.
The only direct contact was when Mr. Pei finalized a signing fee of five million with him over the phone during the Spring Festival Gala in his hometown in Jiangzhou.
But in real life, Su Chen didn't know what Pei always looked like.
Even pdd only had a photo of Mr. Pei's back in his hands. According to him, Mr. Pei was not very fond of taking photos, so he didn't leave any photos.
"Unfortunately, it's not Lao Pei," pdd smiled, "He recently went to the northwest and is said to be working on some desert oasis investment project. It sounds quite advanced, but I don't understand it."
"The people we are talking to today are from Tengda...it is Mr. Pei's company. You know this." pdd led Su Chen into the restaurant.
"I heard you talk about it before. It seems to be the top game production company in the country. It is said that it was established last year?" Su Chen took the hot towel handed by the waiter and wiped his hands.
"Yes, so I have always admired Lao Pei. Although he looks young, he is actually..." Before pdd could finish his words, his eyes immediately moved to the door.
"Mr. Ma, here!" He waved his hand.
Su Chen turned around and followed his gaze.
I saw a young man in casual clothes with a long face standing at the door of the restaurant looking around.
"Sorry, there's a bit of traffic on the road... I've been waiting for a long time, Mr. Whore." Ma Yang opened the stool and sat down opposite Su Chen.
"Let me introduce, this is our ym leader, Su Chen," pdd said with a smirk, "This is the general manager of Tenda Investment Department, Mr. Ma Yangma."
"Just call me Xiaoma..." Ma Yang waved his hands repeatedly, and then took out a ym spring game team uniform from his bag.
"Well, this may be a bit presumptuous when we meet for the first time, but can you please sign your autograph for me? Personally, I am your super fan. I have been watching your games since you played in LSPL." Ma Yang took out his pen.
, looked at Su Chen a little embarrassed.
"Uh? Okay." Su Chen was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, took the marker, and signed his ID on the black and white team uniform with "jkd" printed on it.
After getting Su Chen's signature, Ma Yang excitedly spread out the team uniform and looked at it again and again. He also took out his mobile phone and took several photos in succession. He looked very satisfied indeed.
Su Chen also found it quite strange to see him like this.
I thought that the person who could become the investment president of Tenda Group would be a successful and decisive person in the shopping mall.
But, this Ma Yang looks like a young man who has just graduated from college.
"Don't underestimate our Mr. Ma, he has invested in many good projects in Tenda. He was the first to lead the investment in ym, and he was also one of the people who urged me to sign you." pdd explained.
Hearing this, Su Chen was in awe.
"No, it's mainly because Brother Gan checked it out and thought it was okay. I actually didn't know what to do at the time. I just liked lol, so I found a club to invest in." Ma Yang touched the back of his head and said modestly.
Soon, the waiter brought all the dishes.
Ma Yang was not polite. He even took a few mouthfuls of rice while holding the bowl and chopsticks, showing no restraint at all.
After Su Chen and pdd looked at each other, they each picked up their bowls and chopsticks and chatted while eating.
"It's like this. Before I came here, I also talked with the Ministry of Commerce. Because Tenda currently has many projects that have just been launched, the publicity funds are actually a bit uncertain. Our idea is that instead of looking for external cooperation for endorsement, we should
It’s digested directly internally.”
"Now that ym's traffic is so high, it can be used for our own projects at Tengda. Anyway, it's an industry invested by Brother Gan. We are all one family, and the wealth will not go to outsiders." Ma Yang said with a smile.
.
"I think this idea is okay, but the specific projects still need to be discussed. After all, we also have some endorsement contracts with lpl..." pdd entered the business mode and took stock very professionally.
"It's easy to talk about this. The most important thing is Su Chen. That's what we're here to talk about today." Ma Yang wiped his mouth and took out a stack of documents from his backpack.
"My idea is that you can simply entrust the business contract to ym agency directly. This way you can ensure your independence and you don't have to take care of these business matters yourself. This is also easier to operate." Ma Yang suggested.
.
"We already talked about this with the prostitute teacher on the way here. After we finish talking tonight, I will go back and sign an agency contract with YM again." Su Chen nodded.
"That's good, that's good. It's good for both of us." Ma Yang gave a thumbs up.
Then, Ma Yang briefly introduced Tengda's newly launched projects that can be cooperated with.
Due to lpl's contract regulations, Su Chen and ym cannot directly endorse independent game-related projects.
However, Tengda's industrial scale is very complex.
At present, the key projects selected by Ma Yang mainly include chain Internet cafes, catering brands, electronic products, and fitness brands.
"These projects are all quite good, and they are worthy of Mr. Pei." Su Chen briefly looked at the information and found that basically every project had no faults in all aspects.
Both in terms of profitability and social value, they are excellent enough.
"I basically have no problem, let's leave it to the prostitute teacher to make the decision." Su Chen closed the document and shook hands with Ma Yang.
"Hmm, as for the endorsement contract, because we signed a half-year contract, it is equivalent to a test of the waters, so the personal endorsement fee given to you may not be too high..." Ma Yang paused.
Su Chen knew it well.
After all, Ma Yang still stands on Tengda's side. Since it is a packaged commercial endorsement contract and the signing time limit is relatively short, the price may be lowered.
But after all, Su Chen didn't have any extra thoughts to run this business. As long as the price offered by Ma Yang wasn't too outrageous, he didn't intend to refuse.
Among the four half-year endorsement contracts, Su Chen's psychological expectation was that as long as one was worth 500,000 yuan and the total value exceeded 2 million yuan, he would sign it.
After all, in addition to signing him personally, Ma Yang also needs to sign other ym players. The overall budget must not be tilted too much towards Su Chen.
"Mr. Ma, although our team is young, it will still have a lot of room for growth in the future. Do you think Xiao Su is..." pdd couldn't help but say a few more words.
"The package price is unified, 12 million, and the contract will be signed until the end of this year's ym schedule. What do you think?" Ma Yang said with a grin.
