Xu Ruoguang took the phone from viper and listened quietly to cvmax talking a lot.
From the joy when I first arrived at GRF, to the increasing contradictions in the follow-up, and even now, I realize that Zhao Kuinan has completely lost his bottom line and chose to force players to sign long-term contracts for profit and is completely disappointed.
cvmax seems to have finally found someone to talk to.
"Yes, Emporer player, maybe I can call you Xu Ruoguang?"
"GRF has changed...it is no longer the same Griffin that fights for its dreams."
cvmax said with emotion.
"When I first came to Griffin, I thought."
"We will definitely achieve success in the future."
"We are not some high-profile talented players, nor are we the youth training of a star club since childhood."
“But our players are very young, Qianfen from the Korean server!”
"I believe! I believe in their potential! This potential is enough to overturn the world and bring a youthful wind to LCK! Let the world see the power of young people!"
"GRF is indeed getting better and better as we play, but is the current GRF still the pure GRF from S8?"
There wasn't much confusion in cvmax's words.
"I know very well that it is no longer the case."
"That Griffin is dead."
He concluded calmly.
"This is probably what happened. Player Xu Ruoguang, please help me contact President Li and investigate GRF thoroughly."
"Kanavi is a very talented player and should not be restricted in his career by such a contract."
"If JDG wants Kanavi, it's okay. Let them talk, two years, three years, it's okay. But five years, it's impossible."
Just like viper, Xu Ruoguang also asked that question.
"Coach cvmax, you should also know the consequences of this matter, right?"
"Ah, I know."
cvmax on the other end of the phone laughed loudly,
"Revealing the inside story of the club and applying to the league for a thorough investigation of my own club, my coaching career will probably be over. If there are no surprises in the future, probably no club will be willing to find such a coach."
"It's cruel and serious."
"But I can't turn a blind eye."
"I have been very unhappy as a coach in the past two years, and I don't want to continue to be a coach."
Xu Ruoguang listened to his seemingly carefree words and said nothing.
How could you not want to continue doing it?
Putting aside everything else, if he, a coach, cannot become a coach in the future, what will happen to his life?
You know, although the salary of LCK coaches is not low, it is just not low. It is similar to LPL coaches, and it is impossible for players to earn as much.
What's more, Xu Ruoguang felt cvmax's deep love and expectation for GRF.
If given the choice, he would never leave Griffin.
But now he has no choice.
To fight against a manager like Zhao Kuinan, he could only seek help from the competition committee.
Once the competition committee intervenes, cvmax will end his coaching career regardless of the consequences.
However, he had already made up his mind.
All Xu Ruoguang can do is respect.
"I understand, then I'll call President Li right away."
He nodded cheerfully.
To be honest, as a player, he feels disgusted by what the Griffin manager did.
Forcing players to sign prostitution contracts is fucking worse than OMG.
Although OMG had Xu Ruoguang in the KTV at that time, his contract was not stuck at all and he was released very happily. He also paid a total of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in salary for six months.
Boss Hou [OMG Boss] is too generous in this regard.
This is also the main reason why Xu Ruoguang has nothing to hate about OMG.
"Thank you, player Xu Ruoguang."
cvmax’s voice was a little sad and choked, so he hung up the phone.
Xu Ruoguang put down his phone and touched his head.
"well."
He couldn't help but sigh.
What's this all about...
Busi was very quiet, and his teammates and coaches could almost hear him talking to cvmax.
"Don't think too much, it's normal for this kind of thing to happen in a club like this."
kkoma said plainly.
"Didn't I have conflicts with senior management in SKT before? Wherever there are people, there will be... well, as you say, jianghu?"
"I didn't expect the GRF manager to be so outrageous and force players to sign contracts."
Xu Ruoguang shook his head.
"Actually, it's not outrageous. Ruoguang, you have to remember that some things that look like people are actually just appearances."
"There are too many conflicts between this kind of airborne coach and the manager. The manager's approach is indeed a bit excessive, but as far as I know, this is not the first time. There are really many such things."
"This player named Kanavi is very lucky, but many players may not have such luck and can only choose to agree."
"Manage it? It's difficult to manage it. It's impossible to manage it."
"Maybe even Zhao Kuinan is just a white glove guy. Behind him are the top executives of Griffin selling people."
kkoma smiled mockingly.
"I was just tired of this kind of struggle, so I chose to join you in LPL at that time."
Xu Ruoguang nodded silently.
Yes, this can't be the first time.
But precisely because of this, he feels angry.
What do you think of a person's future?
"I'll call President Li."
He picked up the phone and dialed the number.
LCK Competition Committee, President’s Office.
Lee Min Hyuk did not rest. Under the bright light, he was signing documents one after another, writing and drawing from time to time.
As the person in charge of the entire LCK league, he must handle everything from the overall planning of the team's games to the post-game support.
Even though many things can be handled by subordinates, in the end they still have to pass through his hands and his nod before things can get through.
This is power and also a heavy responsibility.
Suddenly the cell phone rang in the quiet room. Lee Min Hyuk didn't even raise his head.
"Ruoguang's phone number, bring my phone over here."
He specially set an exclusive ringtone for Xu Ruoguang. He is the only player among all the players he knows. Even fakers do not have this treatment.
"Yes, President."
The assistant nodded respectfully and handed the phone to Lee Min Hyuk.
He loosened his wrist, patted his face, smiled, and picked up the phone.
"Hello? Ruoguang?"
"It's me, President Li, I have something I need to report to you."
Xu Ruoguang is very careful with his words.
Because he knows that no matter how kind Lee Min Hyuk acts, he is still the president of the LCK and the only big shot with enough power to handle this matter.
It's impossible for Xu Ruoguang to just ask President Li to help. This won't work.
This is Xu Ruoguang's way of life, and he controls the distance very well.
"oh?"
Lee Min Hyuk glanced at the time, 9:47 pm.
His face became serious.
"Is UR being targeted by someone? Or some bad media is writing nonsense again? I obviously just warned them, how dare you be so bold?"
"You misunderstood, the thing is like this..."
Xu Ruoguang was a little dumbfounded, but there was also some gratitude in his heart.
He then told Lee Min Hyuk everything about GRF.
"..."
Lee Min Hyuk knocked on the conference table, his expression becoming more serious.
For a long time, he rubbed his temples.
"I see."
"Ruoguang, please wait for my news. Listening to cvmax's one-sided statement is not enough for me to determine the whole story. I need to conduct some small investigations on GRF."
Lee Min Hyuk said seriously,
"The results will be available within two days at most."
"Okay, please."
"Well, you should rest early and play well in the game next Monday."
Lee Min Hyuk hung up the phone, stood up, looked at the dim lights outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
"President, what happened? Am I qualified to know?"
the assistant asked cautiously.
"I found some borers and was thinking about how to catch them all."
Lee Min Hyuk's voice became colder.
who is he?
LCK Format Committee, Chairman!
During the period when he led the LCK, it can be said that he most wanted to make the LCK develop better and better.
To this end, how much has he done and how much responsibility has he shouldered?
For what? Make LCK great again!
On the surface, the GRF matter does not seem worth spending too much energy on. He can be sent to jail by sending someone to check Zhao Kuinan's account.
Even if Kanavi's contract has been signed, he can still forcefully tear it up, saying that the contract between the two parties was signed under duress.
So, why is Lee Min Hyuk so angry?
Just put it into his perspective.
Damn it, I'm still trying so hard to get more players from the LCK to come back, and I have a headache every day about how to bring them back.
Where are you Xiba beasts?
For money, Xiba desperately sends potential players to other competition regions!
This feeling of being held back, even for a well-educated person like Lee Min Hyuk, is really a bit like high blood pressure.
What kind of insect teammates are these!
After a brief thought, Lee Min Hyuk's face became calm.
"Assistant Li, convey my message."
"Inside!"
The assistant took the notebook and began to prepare the notes seriously.
"First, the game will continue as usual next week. We have to finish it in two days and let those people see our determination."
"Two, help me contact the president of the Korean E-Sports Association and apply to the Blue House to investigate the financial changes in the bank cards of all club executives."
"Three, immediately send invitations to all club owners, and they will be in the conference room on the third floor tomorrow morning."
"Fourth, send an application to Tengjing Sports of LPL and jointly investigate the contract signing. If the LPL club does not agree, the export of Korean aid to this club will be prohibited in the future."
"Five, report it to the Korean fist and see their reaction."
Lee Min Hyuk closed his eyes and opened them.
His eyes were completely cold.
"The waste that is holding us back must be completely eliminated."
"Inside!"
Lee Min Hyuk's movements were faster than Xu Ruoguang's imagination.
As someone who overcame his superiors and became the president at such a young age, Lee Min Hyuk is very decisive and will not leave any problems once he takes action.
In just one night, he reached a consensus with the president of the Korean E-Sports Association, and his application to the Blue House was approved.
South Korea’s e-sports is one of their few pillar industries.
For them, who dares to influence the development of this industry...
Whoever wants to get out needs to get out.
Now it is obvious that there is an insider in the club, selling potential players to other divisions.
This has greatly harmed the overall interests of the LCK.
These rats must be severely punished!
At four o'clock in the morning, all the details of Zhao Kuinan's financial transactions were placed on Minhyuk Lee's desk.
At five o'clock in the morning, following this clue, the actuary hired by Lee Min Hyuk overnight unearthed more illegal transactions, including but not limited to: taking benefits from transactions, forcing players to perform illegal power training behaviors, forcing
Players sign youth training contracts for five or even ten years.
For a competition area that is booming, this item is so dazzling.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Lee Min Hyuk, who had been busy all night, drank another cup of coffee and continued to investigate the abnormal economic transactions between the top management of major clubs and their direct managers.
At ten o'clock in the morning, after finally resting for two hours, Lee Min Hyuk washed his face and prepared to go to the venue.
At this time, the bosses of major clubs were already waiting impatiently in the conference room.
"What happened? Why are we all here suddenly?"
The boss of GENG was a little confused.
"I'm not sure. I saw the news when I woke up in the morning."
The SKT boss shook his head.
"Wait until President Li comes. Only when he comes will we know what is going on."
The AFS boss let out a breath and said helplessly.
"Everyone, please calm down. I believe President Li also has something important to do."
UR boss Le Keden said with a smile.
"It can only be the."
The GRF boss shrugged.
Just as they were discussing, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
The sun shines into the conference room, but somehow it makes people feel a little uneasy.
Click.
The wooden door of the conference room was opened.
Two bodyguards in black suits walked to both sides of the door with serious expressions.
The bosses were a little surprised for a while.
What happened next made their faces become even more solemn.
Because, there are far more than two bodyguards.
Bodyguards in black suits walked quickly into the conference room with expressionless faces and stood behind club owners one after another.
All the bosses never expected to see this scene, and they all looked at each other in shock.
It was at this time that the president's assistant Li Zhongyun, who had been standing quietly behind the president's table like a transparent person, spoke.
"The content of this meeting is confidential. Please leave your cell phone in the hands of the staff behind you. We will return it after the meeting. Thank you for your cooperation."
You call this stuff staff?!
Some bosses couldn't help but want to complain.
Are you sure it's not black?! [Afraid of River Crabs]
But despite their reluctance, they still handed over their mobile phones with great sincerity.
It was at this time that Lee Min Hyuk, who was walking at the end, appeared in front of all the bosses.
He was wearing a high-end handmade suit and a black tie. His face was calm and cold. He slightly raised his eyes and glanced at the boss who was present, and walked towards the chairman's seat.
Following his pace, the two bodyguards following him slowed down in unison, allowing Lee Min Hyuk to walk at the front.
Lee Min Hyuk quickly walked to the president's table. The bodyguards pulled out a seat for him. He sat down casually, took out a pack of cigarettes from his suit pocket and placed it on the table.
UR boss Le Keden's pupils were condensed and he remained silent.
"President Li, I don't quite understand. This is...?"
The SKT boss spoke with a hint of meaning.
"Don't worry, it's just some confidentiality measures."
Lee Min Hyuk replied calmly,
"This is what Cheong Wa Dae requires. The purpose of collecting your mobile phones is to prevent you from tipping off your good subordinates."
"They should be on the way already."
"Assistant Li."
"President, I'm here."
"Send the information to all the bosses and let them see what their good subordinates have done."
"Inside!"
As the information was distributed one by one, the bosses who didn't know why looked at each other in confusion, picked up the information in their hands, and started reading.
After a while, except for the UR boss who could still maintain basic politeness, the other bosses, although they could still remain calm, had begun to heat up visibly.
They never thought that there was such a person in their club.
How much less money will you make?
Many bosses are bleeding from heart.
How can a youth training player earn as much as a star player?
In the final analysis, they actually don't care about the future of their youth training players.
But, this matter...
Influenced them to make money.
It’s just that they make less money, and the money has basically not reached their pockets.
This is the most abominable betrayal that any boss worthy of being hung on a street lamp cannot endure.
"What do we need to do?"
The SKT boss asked in a deep voice.
Lee Min Hyuk smiled slightly,
"This matter has been handed over to..."
He pointed to the ceiling wordlessly, and the bosses' expressions changed again.
"...they handled it, they were professional."
"I need to remind everyone that e-sports is our pillar industry, and the higher authorities have always paid close attention to it."
"We don't care about selling players, but it must be compliant and must be approved by the players."
"These people involved in illegal transactions will naturally have someone to deal with them."
"I invite you all to come here today. Apart from this matter, we are mainly discussing another matter."
Lee Min Hyuk waved his hand slightly, and Assistant Li took out a document again and distributed it to the bosses present.
Locoden looked at the documents in front of him.
Obviously, because he is a foreigner, this document was printed in Chinese.
"...youth training players, protection clause?"
He slowly read out the name of the file, stared at it, and opened it.
But this time, the bosses' reaction was not so drastic.
In addition to the points that Lee Min Hyuk has already mentioned, this document is nothing more than some points that don't matter in the eyes of the bosses.
What stipulates that the minimum salary of youth training players is equivalent to 12,000 soft girl coins? The bosses don't care at all.
To put it bluntly, the most expenses are more than 100,000 yuan per month.
For the owners who can afford to buy the club, although paying for it is not very pleasant, at least it is not particularly uncomfortable.
The meeting lasted until half past twelve o'clock.
At the same time, Kanavi was dumbfounded as he watched Zhao Kuinan struggle wildly but to no avail, being dragged out of GRF by someone wearing a J uniform.
The nightmare seemed to have dissipated.
In the afternoon, LCK officially issued an announcement.
"Hello everyone, this is the LCK Format Committee."
"Today, the LCK Operations Committee released the investigation results of the GRF incident. We will inform you of the final investigation results of the incident below."
"After multiple investigations by the Operations Committee, due to this incident, the relationships generated through the LCK League were improperly exploited, causing serious damage to the reputation and fairness of the core values of the LCK. There are many members in the LCK League, and among these members, due to the team
Different positions such as representatives, supervisors, players, etc. will naturally produce "power" due to the hierarchical order and status. However, this hierarchical order and the "power" generated by it are improperly used and cannot be justified under any circumstances.
.”
"We believe that the LCK needs a variety of factors to maintain its fairness for the majority of e-sports fans and continued progress. But among them, in the relationship between LCK members, those in a strong position protect and take care of those in a relatively weak position.
People are indispensable. In this regard, the Operations Committee stated that if there is an unfair use of a strong position in the LCK league, we will not ignore it under any circumstances. If we think the behavior is excessive, we will use it without exception.
"No tolerance principle". Because this is an act that goes against the wishes of many e-sports fans and seriously damages the foundation of the LCK league, which has fairness as its core value."
"Accordingly, in order to increase vigilance throughout the league, this operating committee has promulgated the following penalties with a heavy heart."
"Punitive measures:"
"Punishment target: former GRF representative Zhao Kuinan"
"Punishment content: Permanently banned from participating in any affairs related to LCK teams and the Korean e-sports industry."
"Punishment effective date: March 27, 2019"
"If we obtain consent from Kanavi's parents for underage player Kanavi to be a player under the protection of Griffin, we should also fully negotiate with Kanavi's parents about the transfer conditions and obtain consent for Kanavi to leave Griffin and transfer to another team.
.”
“However, despite this, Representative Cho Ku-nam allowed minor players to go through the transfer procedures alone, forced them to make specific choices, and used improper influence. This was a dereliction of duty as a representative, and we further judged him to have seriously damaged the reputation of the LCK.
and impartiality.”
"Punishment target:GRF"
"Punishment content: Temporarily withdrawing the LCK top league seat."
"Punishment effective date: March 27, 2019"
"When Zhao Kuinan's behavior was confirmed, the relevant personnel of the GRF team were directly involved or allowed it to go unchecked. At the same time, the operating committee plans to regularly inspect the operation and management of the GRF team in the next year."
"During this process, if the same or similar violations are found again, additional penalties will be imposed, up to and including permanent deprivation of LCK and Development League seats."
When seeing this news, cvmax smiled with satisfaction.
"Let's rise from the ashes again, GRF."
"I believe you can come back in the Summer Split. You can definitely go to the S9 World Championship."
"sword, tarzan, chovy, nuclear, lehends."
"I may not be a good coach, but I did something good this time, right?"
"I wish your career will get better and better."
"If you want to blame me for letting you play in the Development League again, then blame me. I'm sorry, but I really can't stand it."
"Kanavi, you have to work harder from now on."
cvmax is very clear. With the energy of the major bosses, it is easy to know who is responsible.
