Chapter 428: The North American Forbidden Zone and the Fourth Life!
However, when Kabo walked to the base dormitory and loudly announced a piece of information related to the winter window transfer, the idiot who was lying on his side on the bed stood up directly, his eyes as wide as bells.
"Sex male, it's news about wolfberry!"
"Look, Captain Orangutan has done something big. TSM has surpassed FNC and G2 and leads the transfer market!"
"Crazy! So many beautiful knives!"
"Xingxiong, maybe they can really get that guy here!"
Kabo yelled with his cell phone, and the stupid chicken snatched the phone from his hand. It was the LCS e-sports forum.
Multiple flame logos and a super high number of likes make a post stand high at the top, and a stupid chicken can see it at a glance.
"LCS esports reporter Lisa reports:"
"In the 2018 winter window transfer market, TSM offered Snake $54 million in an attempt to sign a one-year contract with The King. According to insiders, the contract also had a signing fee of $4 million, totaling $58 million! This
It's a shocking gamble! Reginald confirmed the authenticity of the offer and made bold claims that TSM would do anything to get The King!"
"In a short period of time, this crazy contract has detonated the entire e-sports world!"
…
$58 million!
People's first reaction is that Captain Orangutan is crazy!
Then, some people questioned, how can TSM get so much money?
According to the current annual income of the entire TSM club, it is about 17 million US dollars. This is not only the income brought by the league, but also includes a series of games such as Fortnite, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Call of Duty, and Fearless Contract.
It is conceivable how much risk TSM must bear by suddenly taking out such a large sum of money.
Because of the unprecedented popularity, people in the industry soon came up with a highly authentic investment list.
Industry insiders revealed:
“After Riot Games announced the alliance in North America, although TSM was one of the initial ten teams, in the face of the ever-expanding market and the introduction of a multi-million dollar access fund system, TSM faced the fate of expansion or acquisition.
As a result, TSM conducted Series A financing with the help of Swift, with the total amount estimated to be around US$35 million.
The lead investor is Ethan Kurzweil of Bessemer Venture Partners, the oldest venture capital firm in the United States, and investors include some NBA stars.
For example, Curry of the Golden State Warriors invested US$5 million.”
Some people from the team also broke the news:
"TSM has recently cooperated with major teams in Los Angeles. As a North American e-sports giant, TSM has been favored by investors from major teams. After Reginald paid some equity privately, his pocketbook was extremely full. Therefore,
In this winter window transfer, Reginald is definitely a big sponsor, as long as he dares to leave the game, he can win over most professional players."
"It is worth mentioning that The King is very special. His influence has spread throughout the alliance world and he is the first person in the contemporary era. This is favored by many investors, so this transaction has received support from many people and has received almost no resistance so far.
"
"..."
Closon, a well-known LCS e-sports commentary expert, also commented:
"Don't take Reginald as a scapegoat, he is a shrewd investor. If you are not an industry insider, it is best to investigate who The King is. When it comes to NBA, you will think of Michael Jordan, he is the goat. And when it comes to
In league e-sports, that is The King, he is undoubtedly the goat in this field."
"Injuries? Does it matter?"
"The LCS division is very different. There is a lack of world-class star players here. LCK professional players can be sought after, let alone the first player in the league? Go check out the LCS e-sports forum and see how the fans react!
The audience has forgotten the LCS's disastrous defeat in 2018, and now everyone just wants to see The King play here."
"In one year, TSM can reach a new level. This is the effect brought by the first player in the league. This will establish their absolute position in the LCS, and The King will also be noticed by players all over the world. This is
A win-win deal.”
"Even if there is a short-term loss, TSM can use this influence to make money back in the future. There is also a possibility that if Reginald bets right, it will be a different situation. With TheKing, there is no shortage of
magic."
"One more thing, if TSM can really trade The King, then next season, I will also be a fan of TSM. Hahaha, I admire Reginald's vision."
"..."
After the quotation contract was officially revealed, in a short period of time, various discussions can be seen everywhere.
Stupid Chicken read them one by one, feeling extremely shocked.
At the same time, there is an indescribable feeling.
Wolfberry is coming to TSM?
Wolfberry is coming to TSM!
Assi, what should I do?
This annoying guy single-handedly destroyed Sang Hyuk and I’s third crown. He stepped on our corpses to win a series of honors. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is a lifelong enemy, right?
And now, this 'hateful' person may actually become my teammate.
Moreover, Wolfberry is in the middle. As a jungler, he has to fight side by side and even act as a dog for this guy!!
Assi, how is this possible!
Never allowed!
I can't be a dog!
I'm a stupid chicken and will never be Wolfberry's dog! Woof woof~!
At this moment, the expression on Benji's face was quite wonderful.
Unbelievable, entangled, angry, ashamed, ashamed. And an inexplicable trace of joy and excitement that I want to manage but can't.
This fan-shaped statistic-like expression confused Kabo on the side.
Then, the e-sports mercenary laughed with understanding and patted the stupid chicken on the shoulder.
"Hahaha, you are a male, you are very excited, aren't you?"
"I have long seen that you really want to be teammates with Wolfberry. Although Bilson is not bad, he is not the kind of mid laner you want. These people who like to play art but are prone to mistakes and ruin the game are often very disappointing.
People are depressed.”
"Besides, it's not convenient to communicate."
"If it were wolfberry, these problems would not be a problem. I'm right!"
As he spoke, Kabo's face was filled with excitement:
"Xingxiong, I'm suddenly looking forward to it!"
"Being teammates with Wolfberry and interacting with Shi Yizhong, what a wonderful experience it will be!"
"..."
Listening to his rambling words, the stupid chicken snorted in a very "arrogant" manner.
"It's not as simple as you think!"
He taught:
"Bingquan, you have such wonderful thoughts."
"Now they are just transfer rumors. Before the contract is signed, these are just promotional methods for the big team. The probability of Wolfberry coming to the LCS is very small."
"If he cared about those dollars, he could have joined TSM last year. Didn't he offer nearly 30 million at that time?"
"So, you'd better not have too much illusions. You will be disappointed when the time comes."
"Besides, what if he can come to TSM? Have you forgotten? His injury this time is very serious, and he may not even be as good as Bjergsen next season."
"You don't think he can be as strong as he was in the 2018 season, right?"
The idiot sneered and shook his head: "After so many seasons of wandering, I didn't expect you to still have such a wild imagination, Bingquan."
"Of course, I don't want him to come at all!"
Stupid Chicken's face darkened: "Humph!"
"I don't have a good impression of this guy!"
Kaguo and Benji have known each other for a year, and he still knows a certain chicken very well.
The stupid chicken looks like a child who refuses due to factors such as self-esteem and face when faced with something he really wants.
Say no with your mouth, be honest physically and mentally.
Kaguo came to the conclusion from the stupid chicken's expression at the beginning.
No jungler can resist the strongest mid laner in the world.
Injuries are indeed a problem, but to put it another way, if it were not for injuries, would TSM have a chance of getting a healthy Wolfberry? Would they have a chance to become teammates?
What's more, that mysterious man can always create miracles, right?
After thinking about it, the longing Kaliang's face was full of joy, and his neat front teeth were exposed.
The tough-mouthed stupid chicken took out his mobile phone and kept browsing the latest transfer information.
As the understanding deepened, Benji's heart was beating fast.
Slowly, the round and fat face in front of the mobile phone screen continued to flash with unmanageable surprise and expectation.
In the LCS E-Sports Players’ Home, fans are having a heated discussion:
"The King! The King! God, I love this guy so much. He is coming to TSM. Please tell me, is this true?!"
"Well done, TSM did not disappoint us!"
"I watched S8, and that was The King's solo performance. What a crazy guy. I can't imagine that LCS has a chance to recruit him."
A viewer from Los Angeles said:
"I live in Los Angeles. If The King can really come, my friends and I will not miss a game. We will sell out the tickets at the venue!"
"To be honest, there is hope for the LCS. Please believe in TheKing, he is a guy who can create miracles."
Some fans also left messages:
"I am a fan of CLG and have been supporting the North American Wings of Hope. Now I am very confused. My idol is coming to TSM. Should I give up on CLG? Ahhhh, am I in pain or happiness? Who can teach me~~
!”
"Hahaha, I am a TSM fan, and I have been paying attention to the transfer information. God bless Haotian, I hope to see good news."
…
In the TSM base, Captain Orangutan was on the phone with Maggiora. After hearing what was said there, the smile on his face became brighter.
After ending the call, Captain Orangutan opened his phone again and checked the comments on the Internet.
The news spread so quickly, and TSM is naturally responsible for it.
Many staff members mingled among them to collect the most authentic feedback.
The results obtained were not beyond the expectations of the orangutan captain.
After learning that The King might be coming to TSM, the entire LCS fell completely.
Over the past three seasons, The King has repeatedly used the World Series as a show, and has long since conquered European and American audiences.
Even, regarding the issue of injuries, not many people here would even mention it.
There are many differences between LCS viewers and viewers in other regions.
Because the competition area has been in bad shape for a long time, the audience has a high tolerance for professional players.
Playing with art and losing.
It's okay, it's art after all, and the most important thing is that everyone is happy.
The reason why many ancient LCS players are still active even though they are relatively weak now is because they are protected by the halo of the past.
These audiences care very much about what you have experienced in the past.
If you were once glorious, you can be respected now.
If placed on the top player in the league, it will be infinitely magnified.
The presence of the ID "TheKing" in the brand-new Los Angeles e-sports competition venue is an absolute guarantee of ticket issuance.
Captain Orangutan browsed around the major forums, and he became more and more proud of his decision.
Just the transfer rumors almost brought TSM back to life after the S8 collapsed. Who else in the league can have such appeal?
Even though Captain Orangutan had made detailed predictions, he was still shocked at this moment.
…
After the annual celebration, TSM’s blockbuster hit set off huge waves in the league world!
Many melon-eating spectators smashed the melons in their hands to the ground.
"Brothers, 58 million dollars, how much is this? I couldn't do arithmetic in elementary school."
"Converted into RMB, it's almost 4.6 tons."
"It's equivalent to 400 million RMB! TSM is really crazy. Top NBA stars don't get this kind of salary in a year. They were still too ignorant before. Has my brother Hao's reputation reached this level?"
Someone left a message: "The sincerity of Captain Orangutan is not bad. After all, Brother Hao is still injured. If he really goes to TSM next season, I can completely understand. With such an offer, Brother Hao has received absolute courtesy from the LCS and went.
It’s a beautiful place to go, and I don’t feel aggrieved.”
"Yes, the LCS has about half fewer games than the LPL, and the schedule is easier. You can go out to earn some money and come back, and you can also relax and recuperate. Everyone can get what they need. It's only one season anyway."
Snakes fans let out a sigh:
"It's a pity that I'm still waiting for Brother Hao to return from injury. However, Brother Hao has already paid enough for Snake. This time he can make his own decision. If he retires in the future, I hope Brother Hao can return to Snake. Don't
Let’s not talk about it, the snake fans will definitely be waiting for your return!”
"..."
TSM leads the transfer market, and this sudden third-party force has completely broken the layout of FNC and G2.
The cult in North America was coming fiercely. FNC and G2 restricted each other and had their own concerns. In the end, neither made an additional offer.
On the LPL side, although many people are unwilling to do so.
But TSM's crazy offer has discouraged many people.
If Li Hao is healthy, they can still fight hard and raise the price. Although it is not to the level of TSM, Li Hao may consider the competition area and stay.
However, Li Hao, who was troubled by injuries and shouted "no regrets", was already their limit.
On the bright side, TSM has come from behind and has defeated many teams.
So, will Snake choose to match or increase his salary?
The outside world is paying attention, and so is Li Hao.
Soon, Li Hao received a clear reply from the club.
On the evening of December 10, Mr. Snake invited Li Hao to dinner alone.
He expressed his difficulties and expressed his immense gratitude to Li Hao for his contribution to Snake.
Mr. Snake was very honest and expressed the concerns and concerns of a businessman.
At the same time, he also patted his chest and said that if Li Hao wants to come back from the LCS in the future, Snake will definitely be the most sincere team in the LPL.
Snake will continue to retain the contract that was previously drawn up.
Having achieved this step, Snake is already interesting enough.
Finally, Li Hao clinked glasses with Mr. Snake, and the two thanked each other and smiled at each other.
Snake was kind to Li Hao, and Li Hao was kind to Snake. In the past three years, everyone has been in the same boat.
Difference does not have to become enemies, the boat of friendship can also last forever.
There is a long way to go, but if we are destined, we can still get together in the future.
"cheers!"
"Dry."
"Brother Hao, I wish you a bright future and a future filled with flowers and applause."
"Thank you. I hope Snake will continue to be strong and win the championship next year. Mr. Snake will make a lot of money."
"..."
It was late at night in the city, and Shuang Quan drove over and took them back to the club.
On December 11, a piece of transfer transaction information detonated the league.
At the end of the winter window, the recruitment war that stirred up the transfer market has finally come to an end.
All the major e-sports media are reporting crazily!
"Shocked: TSM spent 400 million! Successfully signed TheKing!"
"The largest contract in the e-sports world is born! Where is the upper limit for e-sports professionals?!"
"LCS carnival! The entrance to TSM's new base is packed, and the Los Angeles police are maintaining law and order"
"TheKing joins TSM!"
"LCK carnival, major teams are preparing to revive in S9!"
"TheKing, an ID that the e-sports world will always remember"
"Is he being taken advantage of, or is he the smartest investor? The story behind his $58 million annual salary!"
…
After TSM and Snake Club confirmed one after another, this big deal that shocked many fields and subverted people's understanding of the e-sports field finally came to an end.
On this day, fans from all major competition areas had different moods.
In the midst of the discussion, the e-sports old man expressed this emotion:
"The Emperor of Japan experienced the peak and great chaos at the end of the third life. He is about to go to the North American Forbidden Zone, a cursed forbidden place, the tomb of the glorious ones. The future is unpredictable and unpredictable."
"Perhaps, the Japanese Emperor will put down the unrest in North America and start the fourth life!"
…
