Chapter 363 He is in the LCK and we are the LCK club!
Chapter 363 He is in LCK, we are the LCK club!
"Why so much news?"
Xu Ruoguang opened the chat in confusion, and Xu Ruoguang was a little puzzled.
However, after opening a few randomly, he smiled.
"They all invited me to play in their club?"
kkoma holds a bag of potato chips,
"It's normal. Now, the LCK team should want to have you."
If faker is already an extremely stable cornerstone for winning the championship, then Xu Ruoguang is now considered by many teams to be an essential member for winning the championship.
Without him, I feel unsettled.
"How about it? Do you want to go?"
Xu Ruoguang pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
"Let's go once."
The LPL has really gone too far this time. He hasn't decided where he will go yet, so there is nothing wrong with him going to the LCK team to play.
It makes no sense to say it is rare. He has already helped LPL win two championships with S6S7.
"Where to go first? SKT?"
"Brother, you still can't forget SKT."
"Axi, what are you talking about, brat? I was in SKT from the very beginning. Isn't it normal that I can't forget it?"
kkoma laughed and cursed.
Xu Ruoguang shrugged and made an appointment with the SKT players.
At this time, in the SKT club, the management watched their chat nervously. Seeing that the players had closed the chat, they couldn't help but ask.
"How is it? Did he agree to come to SKT to visit?"
The SKT player nodded,
"Yes, it seems that I will come here with Brother KKoma."
The management's face is a bit complicated.
"kkoma?"
Regarding kkoma, the psychology of SKT's management is still very complicated.
On the one hand, after losing him, SKT found that it was impossible to survive without him.
But on the other hand, they also felt that it was completely disrespectful for kkoma to leave SKT at that time.
Shaking his head, he exhaled.
"Okay, that's it. Don't invite him directly. Ask him what he thinks in a subtle way. Got it?"
"Um."
The player nodded.
So in the next period of time, domestic audiences suddenly discovered it.
Xu Ruoguang began to appear frequently on the official blogs of major LCK clubs.
The news I received today is that he went to SKT, and the news I received tomorrow is that he went to KT.
I think I went to SSG again the day after tomorrow.
He just didn't appear in any LPL club.
Now, everyone was a little panicked.
"No way? Brother Guang really doesn't want to stay in the LPL?"
"If you ask me, it's really no problem. Suddenly being stabbed by Teng Jing like this, I'm Brother Guang and I'm annoyed."
"Sima Tengjing, you are so disgusting."
"Oops, won't next year's championship be won by an LCK team again? Can domestic teams show some sincerity?"
"Sincerity? Haha."
As the transfer period gets closer and closer, all kinds of news begin to fly all over the sky.
It is worth mentioning the changes in IP’s original winning members.
Xiaohuahua joined SKT for a price equivalent to RMB 25 million.
Faker's attitude also became somewhat relaxed due to SKT's efforts.
SKT’s appeal is to replicate the IP’s championship-winning top-mid jungler. In their eyes, this top-mid jungler is invincible.
However, they really have no confidence in winning the Emperor.
Without him, the competition is too fierce!
"I just received the quotation news submitted by the OGN Tournament Committee today. SSG quoted a price of 13 million US dollars to Emperor. Axi, 24 million US dollars in two years plus a signing fee of 2 million US dollars? They are crazy.
?"
SKT management was very angry.
Damn it, you don’t play by the rules!
Everyone was slowly discussing, why did you just throw the king bomb?
This price will immediately attract huge attention once it is revealed, because this may be the most expensive contract in the history of the League of Legends game.
Of course, this excludes unreasonable contracts where clubs do not want players to transfer and deliberately offer unreasonable contracts.
"what to do?"
someone asked.
"What should I do? What else can I do? Add it to me!"
The crazy price competition has begun.
But Xu Ruoguang, who was in the whirlpool of all this, didn't care about such things at all. Instead, he happily visited various major clubs.
On November 22nd, the transfer periods in each major competition area will begin one after another.
faker also called as scheduled.
"Have you made a decision? Do you want to return to SKT?"
"Are you waiting for me to make a decision?"
"if not?"
"To be honest, I'm not very interested."
Xu Ruoguang said it very straightforwardly,
"Next year's S8 will be held in Incheon, South Korea, right? There will also be the Asian Games. I want to be on the Asian Games list."
"...Then when you go to which LPL team, remember to tell me."
faker said in an understatement.
"No need, Xianghe."
Xu Ruoguang shook his head calmly but firmly.
"If you were in the LPL, what would you do in the Asian Games next year? You know me, I don't like to tie up other people's careers."
Things like the Asian Games may be just part of the honor for most players in the LPL.
But for many LCK players, the symbolic meaning is more important.
Because there is something called military service in Korea.
According to the news now revealed on the Internet, if South Korea's candidates for the Asian Games perform well, they may have the opportunity to be exempted from military service.
This is so important for LCK players.
"... Phew, okay."
faker breathed out,
"Just wait, I will beat you to pieces during the S8 Asian Games."
Xu Ruoguang laughed dumbly, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone with Faker, Ah Shui called immediately.
His trademark loud voice comes out as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Hey, Brother Guang, have you decided where to go?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. The current LPL teams feel like that. Let's see if there is any improvement."
Xu Ruoguang was noncommittal,
"It feels okay."
"No, bro, what should I do if you say that?"
"You can go wherever you want, why do you care so much about me?"
Xu Ruoguang said curiously.
"Brother, I still want to fight with you."
Ah Shui said matter-of-factly.
"Trivia, the last person who said this was a junior, and I have already sent him to EDG for training."
Xu Ruoguang chuckled.
Because of this, he was often criticized by his younger classmates, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did.
Follow him every day and fight, and in the end Scout may become Xiaohu.
Players still need to find ways to take on more responsibilities, only in this way can they make progress more easily.
It is difficult for players who have never been a dean to have that sense of responsibility.
Because teammates are trash, players are forced to find ways to improve on their own.
"Good for you."
Ah Shui said helplessly.
"You want me to run away?"
"I don't want you to run away, IP no longer exists, Bozi."
Xu Ruoguang sighed,
"I haven't decided where to go yet. The transfer period has begun. You can go find it yourself now. At worst, Brother S9 will take you to fight again."
"Tch, S9? Maybe my brother S8 has already won the Triple Crown."
Ah Shui groaned.
"Why are you retiring after three crowns?"
"That's still not the case."
"Then it's over."
Xu Ruoguang smiled,
"Having said so much, which company has approached you?"
"It's a lot. Brother, can you just enjoy it now?"
Ah Shui thought about it and said without any secret.
"First of all, it must be IG. I don't know if you still remember. IG had already approached me when I was in S6, but I chose to believe you, so I went to K1."
Xu Ruoguang touched his chin,
"IG? theshy and rookie? It's okay, but is the jungler still a kid? I feel like the kid is retiring soon."
"I heard that it is true. Didn't we have a player named Ning on the second team of IP before? IG coach Jin Changzhu seems to have taken a liking to him."
ning?
A dark face immediately appeared in front of Xu Ruoguang's eyes.
After all, he still has some impression of this player.
Because his style of play is very offensive, his thinking is very clear when playing rhythm jungle.
And what left the most impression on Xu Ruoguang was naturally his friendly Northeastern dialect.
Although he looks a bit dark, he might look good if he is white.
He nodded noncommittally.
If this player changes kid, it is undoubtedly an IG reinforcement.
Next year IG will go to the middle and jungle, which will be a bit interesting.
"Are there any other clubs besides IG?"
he asked curiously.
"What are you talking about! How can it be possible that IG is the only one who wants me? EDG, WE, and RNG have all sent their intentions, okay?"
Ah Shui suddenly became unhappy.
"Wait a minute?"
Xu Ruoguang heard a word that he couldn't understand.
"RNG?"
"Yes, RNG."
"RNG's system will want you? Can you lead letme and cancel accounts to win?"
Xu Ruoguang expressed doubts about this.
Who is better, Uzi or Ah Shui? Then Ah Shui is definitely the stronger one now.
But Ah Shuiqiang’s point lies in his adaptability, not his personal ability.
Uzi can be as dark as you want, there are indeed enough black spots.
But there is really no doubt about his personal ability at his peak. He is guaranteed to be ranked among the top three in the world.
Uzi can't win against Letme by canceling his account, and it's even more impossible for Ah Shui.
Give up Uzi and buy Ah Shui?
That is unless RNG wants to rebuild the team.
"Don't you know yet? I heard that RNG can't keep Uzi anymore."
Ah Shui smiled.
"ah?"
Xu Ruoguang was greatly shocked.
He also knew about the RNG contract.
In a word, hum, want to escape?
As long as RNG is not happy, Uzi can only retire with RNG for the rest of his life.
"The specific situation is not clear, but I heard that a club has initiated a property replacement regulation against RNG to help RNG handle some things. As compensation, Uzi's contract will go to this club."
Ah Shui didn't know much, so he said in a daze.
"What's the name of this club?"
Xu Ruoguang asked.
"I don't know!"
"Then tell me a hammer."
Xu Ruoguang was speechless. After arousing his interest, he said, "Don't you know?"
"Isn't that why you asked why RNG sent invitations to my friends?"
Ah Shui felt a little aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, don't be disgusting. Where do you want to go?"
Xu Ruoguang said impatiently.
"I have thought about this issue."
Ah Shui nodded,
"Both clubs have their own advantages. If I go to RNG, I might be able to experience Uzi's four-guaranteed one. I feel that AD is quite happy playing this system. Xiao Ming is also someone I know. There is still a way to play the bottom lane.
A tacit understanding."
"But if you use IG, it can be considered a bit of friendship."
"When my brother was still live broadcasting, IG sent me many invitations. I also visited the IG club and I felt more confident."
"Rookie doesn't seem to be difficult to get along with. It's been a few years and Kid can still play on IG. Rookie must have a pretty good temper."
Ah Shui said hehey.
"ah?"
Xu Ruoguang was a little embarrassed.
This is so disgusting for a kid.
However, no problem.
With kid's performance, he can still start in IG.
Apart from Xiao Wang Nianjiu and Rookie having a good temper, there seems to be no other explanation.
You must know that this has long been an unsolved mystery in anti-stress.
Countless people speculated.
"Did kid help Wang Sicong block the nuclear bomb?"
Otherwise, with his performance, would he still be able to play on IG? It really makes no sense.
"Then what are your plans now?"
"Since you haven't decided yet, Brother Guang, I want to wait and see."
"Waiting for a while, speed determines it. I may not be sure whether I will make it to the spring split. I don't have a suitable lineup to wait for a season. It's just a good time to take a rest."
Xu Ruoguang said immediately.
This is true.
Without a suitable lineup, he is too lazy to play in the spring split.
"Well, in that case, let's try to contact RNG first. They seem to be quite sincere."
Ah Shui thought for a while.
"Just pay attention to yourself. No matter where you go, you must first figure out one thing, the contract issue."
Xu Ruoguang was noncommittal. He could understand the allure of the four-guarantee-one system to AD.
Who doesn’t want to be the core?
But he had to remind Ah Shui.
Contract issues are very important.
The contracts of professional players must be reviewed by professionals, otherwise they will be absolutely disadvantaged when facing club players.
"Contract? I'm super, man, I really didn't expect it."
Ah Shui was stunned and hammered his hand.
He really didn't pay attention to this.
Mainly because RNG showed great sincerity.
"Brother Guang, I will send you the contract later. Show it to me."
"Ah, isn't this illegal? And I'm not professional either."
"No, there's nothing illegal about this. It's just a contract of intent now, and I've already signed it."
Ah Shui smiled.
"Wait a minute, have you signed it?"
Xu Ruoguang noticed something was wrong and his tone became serious.
"It's just intention, no problem?"
Ah Shui was stunned, and his tone became serious.
"Of course the intention contract is not a formal signing contract, but it guarantees RNG's priority. Are you really thinking about going to RNG?"
Xu Ruoguang asked.
"Forehead……"
"Send the contract and I'll take a quick look at it for you. Then I'll go back to China and help you contact a lawyer and take a closer look."
Xu Ruoguang pondered and said decisively,
"good."
Ah Shui nodded obediently.
After a while, the contract was sent.
Xu Ruoguang enlarged the picture and looked carefully from beginning to end.
After a while, he fell into deep thought.
"From a simple look, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong?"
The requirements in the contract are not harsh and seem normal.
But Xu Ruoguang didn't trust his own judgment because he was not a professional lawyer.
After asking Ah Shui for his opinion, he sent it directly to kkoma.
After receiving the contract, kkoma immediately found the LCK lawyer.
After studying it carefully all night, the next day I brought Xu Ruoguang some news that made his heart sink.
"There is a problem with the contract."
kkoma's tone was heavy.
"Ah Shui has already signed it?"
"Listen to him, it's already signed."
"Hurry up and pay the liquidated damages and leave. There is no other way."
kkoma said directly without hesitation.
"Is this the only way?"
"This contract is too cruel. Although it does not restrict the players from making any decisions on the surface, please note that there is a priority clause. During RNG, players must report any activities to RNG, and RNG has the right to make decisions first. If I didn't guess
If it’s wrong, the main contract should be a contract about live broadcasting.”
kkoma said coldly,
"If it is really what I think, RNG is preparing to let Ah Shui retire from RNG."
As we all know, player contracts are generally divided into two parts.
Professional contracts and live streaming contracts.
Currently, the two contracts are generally merged.
However, the great thing about RNG's contract is that even if Ah Shui wants to transfer in the future and RNG doesn't agree, then I'm sorry, you can't transfer.
Because of the priority clause, RNG can hold onto players' live broadcast contracts.
The live broadcast contract is actually the commercial value of a player.
For capital, without a live broadcast contract, there is no commercial value.
Because at this time, no matter how well you play in the game, RNG will definitely make money without losing money.
Another club bought Ah Shui. Sorry, Ah Shui's live broadcast contract is still with RNG.
The better you play in the game, hey, the more our RNG will make.
This is the empty-handed white wolf!
This kind of clause is devastating to the player because it means that the player no longer has any commercial value to other clubs.
Once I bought it, I just worked for RNG.
"Isn't this kind of clause unreasonable?"
Xu Ruoguang was a little confused.
"It's illegal. After all, it's just a priority, not a certainty."
kkoma confirmed his idea, but then he said,
"If it's illegal, it's illegal. Can you afford to delay it?"
"The club doesn't care. Did the players waste this time?"
This is the really tough question.
Players cannot afford to be held back.
Once Ah Shui doesn't go to RNG, then RNG will definitely sue, and it will naturally go to court.
Regardless of whether the lawsuit is won or not, RNG can afford to drag it out, but your players cannot.
Once there are a lot of lawsuits in a year or two, the player is finished.
If you don't play games for a year or two, players will basically suck.
Your level will drop significantly within a few months of retirement, let alone a year or two.
Some people may want to say, then if you stay in RNG and play, it will be over, and there will be no problem.
Indeed.
If you stay with RNG until you retire, this contract is not bad and the benefits are very good.
But the problem is that for top players, once the lifeline is pinched by the club, if the RNG lineup starts to deteriorate, just send it to them, and don't have any hope of winning the championship.
For mid- and lower-level professional players, this contract is very good, with a minimum guarantee and comfortable post-retirement arrangements. RNG provides one-stop service.
But for top professional players, this is an out-and-out garbage contract.
“Can we just pay the money and leave?”
Xu Ruoguang confirmed.
kkoma nodded.
"I can only lose money and leave, or I can wait to retire in RNG."
"Tsk."
Xu Ruoguang clicked his tongue and sent the message to Ah Shui.
"ah?"
A Shuiren fainted.
"real?"
"real."
"I'm really... I'm an established club after all. This..."
"How much is the liquidated damages?"
"Nine million."
"There is nothing you can do, just accept your defeat."
Xu Ruoguang sighed.
Ah Shui held it in for a long time and couldn't say anything.
This rice has to be exploded.
The last person to call was Xiao Wu.
He decided where to go, OMG.
On the one hand, OMG was very sincere and promised to replace his teammates, giving him the initiative.
On the other hand, OMG has always been very good to Xiaowu, and Xiaowu has a very good impression of OMG.
So after losing the IP, returning to OMG is a very good choice for Xiaowu.
Xu Ruoguang sent his heartfelt blessings to him.
"Xiaowu, you are a very hard-working player, I have always known that."
"In your future career, I think you will also have great achievements, as long as you maintain your professional attitude."
“Only by never forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.”
"I know, Brother Guang."
Xiao Wu smiled heartily.
"S8, let's meet at the top, Brother Guang."
Time passed little by little, when Xu Ruoguang was still hanging out in the LCK club, trying to find some talented newcomers.
Here in LCK, a new e-sports club has been quietly established.
"Has it been confirmed?"
In the conference room, the person in charge asked aloud.
"It's confirmed, Mr. Le, RNG has agreed to our request. I heard that RNG can no longer retain people. It originally wanted the players to retire directly, but unfortunately the players were unwilling and wanted to report to the alliance, which made them a bit difficult to do so.
.”
"We made our appeal at this time, so RNG had no choice but to borrow the power of the donkey."
The subordinate showed a sarcastic smile,
"After all, they still want to be the most humane club."
The person in charge smiled, capital and favor had nothing to do with each other.
"What about the assistant? I heard that his requirements are quite high."
"Originally I wanted to package and rotate it, but RNG firmly disagreed, so I had to look for it again."
"At present, our candidates are probably VG's assistant duan and IP's assistant Crisp. VG's situation is somewhat similar to that of AD players, but the resistance is much smaller. As for IP's assistant Crisp, the situation is not clear."
"what happened?"
"I heard that BLG, which took over the IP, decided to settle in the LPL temporarily and did not have its own youth training system, so it will be impossible to find a suitable replacement for a while."
"This is also the reason why we took over all IP, because the IP framework has already been established and they don't need to worry too much."
"Their entry into e-sports is more to build some confidence among investors, because there are problems with BILIBILI's current monetization method, and they want to stabilize the stock price."
The person in charge nodded understandingly.
"I know, then let's find it in LCK."
"Has the location of the base been found?"
"We found it. The KT club moved to Busan, so we bought it directly."
"Okay, then the next step is to show our sincerity to the top laner."
The person in charge nodded with satisfaction.
"No matter what conditions he proposes, as long as the budget does not exceed 300 million, we can agree first. We are bound to win this year's championship, and he is the one we must fight for!"
"So, what about the midfielders? Do we need to continue to contact us?"
"No, let's wait for the order."
The person in charge shook his head.
"We give him the greatest sincerity and respect, and he will give us the greatest return. This is the most unbreakable relationship between the club and the players."
"Yes, Mr. Le!"
"By the way, Mr. Le, I have a question, why did we cancel the original LPL plan and switch to LCK?"
"Because according to analyst research, he is more valuable than LPL."
"When Xu Ruoguang thinks of LPL, we are the LPL club. When Xu Ruoguang thinks of LCK, we are the LCK club."
"Currently, he is being dismissed by the LPL."
"So, we became LCK."
Outside the conference room, burgundy lines outline the sharp eyes of an eagle looking at a wolf.
This is a sub-brand that many people don’t know much about.
ROG, the Republic of Gamers.
A new entrant into the LCK is here!
[The new season lineup is as follows:
Top order Emperor
Jungle Canyon
Mid laner Showmaker
AD Uzi
Assistant Beryl]
[There will be an extra update today, it will probably be midnight, please bear with me]
