Chapter 473 Are the tea leaves you mentioned tender?
More than half a month has passed since the S8 Global Finals ended, and some gossip about the new season has once again become a topic of discussion among players before and after tea.
Zhuge Liang was also happy to be a melon-eating crowd for a while. He sat at home and ate melons until he was full.
First of all, due to the dismal performance of the LMS division in recent years, Ancestral Glory was completely defeated, and the disbandment was officially announced as history, and each team was classified into the Southeast Asian division.
As many players had expected, BayWan Capital poured into the LPL.
AHQ is reincarnated into RW, FW has in-depth cooperation with SN, Jay Chou may bring his JTeam into the LPL...
Then, a big news came out in the LCK division. SKT may have equity changes, and it is very likely that it will change its name after the agreement is officially signed next year.
For die-hard SKT fans, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
If nothing else, SKT's lineup will also be adjusted, and the transfer market is expected to be another bloody storm.
As for the various rumors within the LPL, there are countless.
Some of the more outrageous examples include: the factory director transferred to RNG and teamed up with Uzi, IG listed Rookie for sale, V5's championship-winning lineup all left, WE competed for GRF's midfielder at a sky-high price, etc.
However, Zhuge Liang also got a lot of inside information, so the credibility should be quite high.
For example, IG laid off Su Xiaoluo, the management was purged, and Kim Kyung-soo stepped down. The team is currently actively renewing the contract with Theshy.
RNG top laner Letme has retired, jungler Mlxg is suspected of being locked up in his contract, and the boss is trying to hook up Karsa from TES.
In order to stabilize Karsa, TES did not hesitate to spend money on reinforcements, including Knight who was struggling in SN this year.
The dark horse RW was lost to AHQ, and the previous lineup will most likely not be renewed. Top laner Mouse is very likely to retire, and the whereabouts of mid laner Doinb, who has his own system, has attracted the attention of many clubs.
LNG also has two big fish as free agents, jungler SofM and team cornerstone Flandre. Since then, the old snake team has completely ceased to exist.
EDG has taken a liking to Nuguri. This fierce, stable and young top laner is simply the perfect puzzle piece.
VG has tasted some sweetness this year. After hearing that kkoma might leave SKT, they made preparations to take over early.
Judging from this trend, competition in the LPL will further intensify next year.
Moreover, it is very likely that a pattern of multiple strong players will emerge.
……
That night, Zhuge Liang received an invitation from Principal Wang.
The dinner party was promised before, but Zhuge Liang happened to have no other arrangements, so he went to attend the appointment.
Principal Wang chose a private restaurant with a membership system. The environment is quite elegant. Ordinary people don’t even know about such a place.
The waiter led us to the box. In addition to Principal Wang, Boss He was also there.
"We're all acquaintances, you're welcome, sit down quickly!" Principal Wang greeted warmly.
"Ah Liang, do you mind if I take advantage of this meal? Thanks to my good information, I almost let Brother Cong escape!" Boss He said with a smile.
"Anyway, since the principal pays the bill, I won't be starved for even one meal, right?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but joked.
"Anything you want, brother, as long as you enjoy it, you can eat it for a month!" Principal Wang said righteously.
In fact, as the rich second generation who have received higher education and have been in the shopping mall, these people at least have low emotional intelligence.
A dandy is a dandy, but he knows when and to whom he can act dandy.
What netizens have found about Zhuge Liang’s family background is actually just the tip of the iceberg. Those in the circle like Principal Wang will undoubtedly know more.
Not to mention, Zhuge Liang's own abilities and connections are equally impressive, and this alone makes it worthwhile for these second generations to make friends with him.
The hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit.
Zhuge Liang is not a stupid person, and naturally he will not pretend to be aloof and offend the two people's overtures.
Therefore, the three of them were chatting and laughing happily at the table, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
……
After eating and drinking, the three of them moved to a tea room.
"Thanks for the hospitality, if you have anything to say, please speak up!" Zhuge Liang was the first to speak.
"It's like this. Aren't you planning to take a break next year? We don't need you to spend too much time and energy. Just take some time to help us control the general direction of the club and give us some constructive suggestions..."
Boss He told all his previous thoughts.
After Zhuge Liang listened carefully, he felt that the "e-sports club consultant" model was quite novel.
Generally speaking, club owners are mostly second generation and may not know much about the e-sports industry.
A layman managing an expert can easily make some ridiculous operations.
But from the perspective of a boss, I spent so much money and got nothing, so I can’t point fingers anymore?
A professional club consultant can serve as a bridge of communication.
The bosses don’t know the ins and outs of the game, but they definitely understand business.
If there were business consultants who could provide detailed plans and analysis reports, bosses and management would not have to mess around.
Similarly, players at the bottom can devote themselves to training and competition with peace of mind, without having to worry about messy off-field matters.
"Ah Liang, just help my brother for once. I really want to see IG win a championship! You can set the conditions as you like. I promise it won't take up too much of your energy. Just help the staff!" Principal Wang said sincerely!
.
"After all, V5 is the defending champion. You can't bear to see V5 fall to the middle and lower reaches of the league next year and not even make it to the playoffs, right?" Boss He followed up and played the emotional card.
"Remuneration is serious. If you just give some directional advice, it's not impossible. But you'd better not have too much hope. After all, there are too many factors that affect your results." Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, but
I spread my words.
On the one hand, these two gave enough face to Zhuge Liang, so Zhuge Liang couldn't return too much.
On the other hand, this consulting model is quite novel, and the workload is not heavy, so Zhuge Liang is somewhat interested in it.
"As for the contract, we definitely can't go through official channels. It's an agreement we signed privately, so the official can't say anything. In terms of remuneration, five million a year, I don't think it's too little. If you get results, my brother will have another
Thank you very much!" Principal Wang said with a smile.
"Brother Cong has already shouted out five million, so of course I don't have a problem with it. Ah Liang, V5 will have to rely on your help next year!" Boss He echoed.
Five million a year, this remuneration is much higher than that of an ordinary head coach or even a player.
Zhuge Liang can easily earn tens of millions a year just by taking the time to give some general advice to the two teams. The money is coming in faster than printing money.
"Okay, I'll take over the consultant job." Zhuge Liang picked up the tea cup and saluted the two of them from afar.
"I'm so happy today, brothers, I'll treat you to some fine new tea!" Principal Wang said boldly.
"Brother Cong, are the tea leaves you mentioned tender?" Boss He asked.
