After passing the trial training, Lin Cheng followed Kang Dongxun to the conference room.
Team manager Cheng Haosheng is already waiting in the conference room, with a formal contract on the table.
Kang Dongxun: "Let's take a look. If you have any comments, you can raise them."
Lin Cheng glanced hastily.
With one-third of the spring season already played, the contract until the end of the year has a salary of 50 million won, which is equivalent to about 300,000 RMB.
Although Lin Cheng has almost no salary requirements, Kang Dongxun still managed to get him a salary that is equivalent to the level of average players in the mid- and lower-tier LCK teams.
Although the average salary of LCK players reaches more than 170 million won, which is equivalent to 1.07 million yuan, there are many high-paid players that drive up the average salary.
For example, the annual salary of AFS top laner Kiin has reached 1.5 billion won, which is close to 9 million yuan, not to mention Faker.
For many first-year professional players, their first contract even had an annual salary of only about 20 million won. In previous years, this number was even lower.
The KT club obviously doesn't care about paying Lin Cheng's salary for more than a year. The club's top management is also quite dissatisfied with the team's current situation and has given great support to Kang Dongxun's initiative to seek change.
Starting at the bottom and going straight to the relegation match, you must know that the LCK will start to become a league next season. If this season is really relegated and loses the LCK spot, the loss to KT will be too great.
Lin Cheng naturally had no objections to the contract. After confirming that it was correct, he picked up a signature pen and signed his name in Chinese below: Lin Cheng.
The handwriting is square and straight.
Team manager An Haosheng stood up and extended his hand, "Welcome to join, Lin Cheng."
······
After signing the contract, Lin Cheng was considered an official member of KT. He followed the staff to take two promotional photos, and then followed the life coach to get familiar with the base.
Half an hour later, Lin Cheng's makeup photos appeared on KT's official social media, and INS and Twitter first announced the news of Lin Cheng's joining.
KT Cheng is officially connected.
As one of the oldest clubs in the LCK, although the number of KT fans is far less than that of SKT, it is still a number that cannot be underestimated.
Seeing the team's dynamics, KT fans suddenly became excited, but everyone's attitude was not clear at first.
"What is this??? Signing a new person in the middle of the game? What a strange operation."
"Aside from being handsome, I'm skeptical of this person's performance."
"The outrageous thing is that this is a Chinese. Can he really play well in KT? That Swede named Malice made me lose confidence in foreign players."
"High-level Chinese people earn high wages in the LPL, so why would they come to South Korea to play professionally? I guess their level is average."
"Please stop the club! Every time we spend money to buy some rotten fish and shrimps, is it worth it for us to spend money to watch the game?"
"Brother, don't get excited. I won't be able to spend any money this year anyway, so I won't be able to sell any tickets."
"Anyway, it's a good thing that the club is taking action, isn't it? Our results are really bad now."
"I know this ID. He is a very powerful top laner. Come on! Please bring victory to KT!"
"There is a video of the last high school competition. The top laner seems to be this person, right?"
"I don't care who comes now, whether it's Chinese or Korean, let's save KT first. If we continue like this, we are really going to be relegated."
Rap, the commentator of the CK League, quickly sent a reply to KT’s media:
"Wow~~~ Congratulations to KT for finding a treasure! He is very strong! Really strong! Please believe in my professional vision as a commentator. It was a pity that my partner and I were commentating on the game at Korea University two months ago. We didn't have the chance.
After seeing Cheng’s performance on the field, I didn’t expect that it would actually come true now.”
After saying that, Rap also liked Lst, his partner who was commentating the SKY E-Sports Cup with him. Lst responded very quickly:
"If you are interested in this person's performance, you can search for SKY Cup match videos, but I'm curious how KT signed him? This person is a student at Seoul National University."
Rap replied: "Have you forgotten how Hirai signed Peanut in the first place? He is someone who can go to Han Wanghu's house in the middle of the night to lobby."
The interruption between the two explanations caused another heated discussion among Korean netizens about Im Sung's identity as a student at Seoul National University.
Seoul National University has a very special status in the hearts of Koreans. Kim Tae Hee has been recognized by Koreans as the most beautiful woman in Korea for a long time, largely due to her status as a graduate of Seoul National University.
"Oh! Not to mention these two explanations, I haven't noticed that this person is a student of Seoul National University."
"It's just foreign students. It is said that it is much easier for foreign students to take the SKY college entrance examination than for us."
"Don't be sour. If you were thrown into China, you wouldn't be able to pass the exam. Do you believe it?"
"If someone is willing to drop out of school and come to KT, at least it proves that they are not just messing around. How come I feel confident inexplicably?"
"He is handsome and well-educated. If he plays this game well, I will almost die of pain. Should I expect his performance?"
Discussing this aspect aside, Korean netizens who have not followed that game quickly went to find Lin Cheng’s game and RANK highlights.
Only then did KT fans realize that this person was really strong. Although some people were still not optimistic about Lin Cheng, at least most KT fans had expectations for him.
"Although I'm a little older, my performance is still very impressive. Come on!"
"It's okay, guys! I feel better."
"The holes on the top lane are blocked. In fact, KT is not bad now. Aiming is playing really well."
"If this person is as strong as RANK on the court, I declare that KT will launch a sprint for the championship!"
"Keep a low profile, brother! We are still at the bottom of the league."
"Look at the highlights, this person is really amazing."
"If you look at the highlights, Sword is the top top laner."
"Sword feels insulted."
"Isn't it that the top top laner has been insulted? Why is Sword aggrieved?"
"Be careful upstairs, the lawyer's letter warns you."
······
The noise created by KT fans gradually attracted fans of other teams to watch, but most of them were mocking Lin Cheng's joining.
"Is Hiria in a hurry and seeking medical treatment? She actually found a Chinese to come to KT to play professionally?"
"With KT's record, it's strange that the coach is not in a hurry. If it continues like this, it will be ridiculous if it drops down."
"As a good brother of T1, who will recharge our batteries if KT drops? Hahaha!"
"Although LPL is very strong now, it doesn't mean that a Chinese player is also very strong. What is KT doing?"
"Although this person seems to have a strong RANK, he may not be suitable for playing in the game, right? It feels like it would be better to find someone in the youth training."
"KT is playing like this this season. I'm leaving my words here, and it won't be easy for anyone to do anything."
"Doing well in studies doesn't mean you can play professionally. Those fools expect a newcomer to save the team?"
"KT fans are actually optimistic. It's really ridiculous."
