Facing the eager eyes of his teammates, Lin Cheng did not hesitate to avoid them.
"I'm sorry, I can't promise you anything right now."
After everyone has been together for so long, Lin Cheng feels that if he has concerns, he should speak up directly. An ambiguous attitude will hurt his teammates.
"I don't care too much about salary, but... there will be the Asian Games next year."
As soon as Lin Cheng said this, everyone fell silent.
Yes! There will be Asian Games next year.
For a long time, they subconsciously ignored this issue.
It is not ignored that the e-sports events of this Asian Games are official competitions. If the Korean team wins the championship, the players can be exempted from military service, which is very attractive to them.
Little Peanut: "Actually, the selection for the Asian Games is not fixed in the domestic league. It doesn't matter if you stay, right?"
Lin Cheng nodded, "Of course I know this, but the current epidemic situation in our country is different from here. If I stay in the LCK, there will be a lot of inconvenience."
The Asian Games is a competition to represent the country. Like traditional sports, the selection of players has always been based on nationality and has nothing to do with which league club the players play for.
In 2018, although the players from China and South Korea were players from the LPL and LCK, many players from other Asian Games teams were players from outside the region.
Of course Lin Cheng knows this, and there is no need to worry about it under normal circumstances, but the current situation is different from that of 2018.
Domestic epidemic prevention work is still very strict, and it seems that there may not be any changes next year.
How can I participate in the training camp then?
Lin Cheng will definitely be called up by the national team based on his performance in the past two years, but when he flies back to China for training and will be quarantined for ten and a half months, will his teammates still wait for him to complete the quarantine first?
Maybe the total training time for the national team is only one or two weeks. What does it mean if you are in isolation the whole time?
No matter how strong a player is, he still needs to work with his teammates. Even if Lin Cheng thinks he can plug and play, this is not RANK after all.
There may be many ways to solve this problem, such as Lin Cheng playing training matches with others in the hotel quarantine line alone, but this will undoubtedly add a lot of trouble to the national team teammates and coaches.
When the time comes for a review or something, will everyone hold an online conference with you to review the review?
Even if you are a big name, the national team does not pay you wages. Why should others accommodate you like this?
Originally, there are many Internet-addicted teenagers among e-sports players, and many of them have direct tempers. It is inevitable that they will have some opinions when they see Lin Cheng doing something special.
At that time, a dissatisfied teammate posted a short essay online, and another wave of rhythm started.
Lin Cheng is a person who doesn't like to cause trouble to others, so he inevitably considers these details a lot.
It would be okay if they were KT's teammates. Lin Cheng would feel free to trouble them no matter what, but the relationship with other people was not such that Lin Cheng could cause trouble at will.
Following Lin Cheng's words, everyone fell silent.
This problem seems difficult to solve.
The silence lasted for a while.
Mr. Dai patted Lin Cheng on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter even if you really want to go back to the LPL. After all, it's the national team."
For previous e-sports players, the words "playing for the country" seemed very far away, but now that the opportunity is in front of them, Lin Cheng naturally doesn't want to miss it.
After all, this Asian Games is a formal event, not an exhibition match like the one in 2018.
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Hey! I'm not sure I want to leave, but I haven't thought of a way to have both ends of the world just yet. If the club wants to renew my contract by then, they will definitely rack their brains to help find a way, too.
It doesn’t mean that I will definitely return to LPL.”
"Yes, yes! Brother Lin Cheng, as the captain, must not leave."
"For the safety of Representative An, Lin Cheng, why don't you leave?"
"If you leave, the fans will kill the manager."
"Ha ha!"
The fools started joking and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
Looking at the smiling faces, Lin Cheng had mixed feelings.
He knows that it will be really difficult for everyone to continue to fight side by side next year.
If he leaves, maybe the four of them can successfully renew their contracts, but Lin Cheng's decision to stay will make it difficult for his teammates to renew their contracts.
In fact, the club inquired about his intention to renew his contract several times during this season, and the offer given to him was very exaggerated.
He just hasn't responded positively to the club.
Lin Cheng also knows that as long as he tells him the conditions offered by the club, his teammates will immediately lose confidence in renewing the contract.
Because KT gave him too much, once Lin Cheng renews his contract, it will be really difficult to offer too high a price to other people's contract renewals.
At least it will be much lower than the contracts offered by other clubs.
Therefore, Lin Cheng is pessimistic about the contract renewal of all employees.
Although fools get together now because of their feelings, it doesn't matter if they take less money, but there is a limit to lowering the conditions.
Moreover, except for Lin Cheng, several teammates have signed contracts with agencies. Even if they want to renew their contract with a low salary, the agency may not agree to it.
Brokerage companies do not consider emotional factors. They help players resolve contract issues, including making career plans, all for the sake of high commissions, and they do everything possible to encourage players to seek transfers.
After looking at his teammates who were chatting and laughing, Lin Cheng didn't reveal anything more.
At least, everyone is still looking forward to next year, right?
After chatting together for a long time, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Lin Cheng's original plan to sleep with Little Peanut was also abandoned.
He was afraid that he would be embarrassed if he shared a bed with his teammates and the topic of transfer came up again.
Because all his teammates seemed confident in renewing the contract, only Lin Cheng was still undecided.
Lin Cheng walked to the door of his room and knocked on the door.
Chi Shengxi opened the door.
She had already taken a shower and taken off her makeup. The bespectacled girl wearing a plain nightgown had a different kind of innocence than usual.
"Sister Sheng Xi, let me get the quilt."
"Aren't you going to sleep with Wang Hao?"
Lin Cheng opened the cabinet and rummaged through it, and said casually: "No, for fear of embarrassment."
"How to say?"
"We were all talking about transfers just now, and I was the only one with an ambiguous attitude."
Chi Shengxi looked at Lin Cheng's broad back, "You...really want to leave?"
"Not necessarily, just... Anyway, let's take a look."
Lin Cheng didn't want to talk about this topic anymore at this time, so he picked up the quilt and left.
"well!"
Chi Shengxi stopped him.
"Um?"
"If you really have to leave, today will be the last time you stay in the club, right?"
Chi Shengxi opened his hand and said, "Maybe after tomorrow we will say goodbye forever, why don't you give me a hug?"
Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"How can it be that exaggerated?"
With that said, he threw away the quilt in his hand and hugged Chi Shengxi.
"Even if I really have to leave, I can't say goodbye to my sister forever."
He blew into her ear, "Sister is my girl with black glasses."
"ah!"
She stood on tiptoes and stretched out her hand to pull Lin Cheng's cheek, "What black glasses...don't say such rude words to your sister."
As a result, while Chi Shengxi stretched out his hand to pull his face, Lin Cheng quickly moved his hands down.
Going down her slender waist, she grabbed Sister Sheng Xi's perky buttocks and squeezed them hard.
The nightgown is very thin.
This feeling is explosive.
Then Lin Cheng turned around and ran away.
"Haha! I'm going out first. Good night, sister Sheng Xi."
I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet, wait for me to do it slowly
