I'm the strongest mid laner

Chapter 118 Difficult choices

"I'm waiting for you in IG." After all, this conversation came to an end.

Although there were occasional twists and turns, it was a relatively successful meeting for both parties. Everyone also exchanged ideas and goals with each other, and they were relatively consistent in this respect.

Since like-minded, then cooperation will not be a problem.

It seems that it is a matter of course for Chen Lang and JackeyLove to join IG.

Wang Sicong got up and walked out of the box with Chen Lang to see them off, and went to another room by the way.

"Hey, have you eaten too?"

At the right time, Wang Sicong came out and saw a person saying.

Chen Lang and JackeyLove looked over curiously. Can Wang Sicong meet acquaintances here?
"Well, I just finished eating and I'm going back to the base." The man also looked at Chen Lang and JackeyLove with curious eyes:

"It's over on your side too, pretty quickly?"

Wang Sicong introduced the two parties with a smile: "I didn't expect the synchronization to end, it's a coincidence."

"There is an IG game tonight, we just want to bring the players to have a good meal in the afternoon, and hope they will perform well in the evening."

Usually the game is in the evening, and during this period the players seldom eat, and will only eat a little chocolate to replenish energy when they are hungry, because this will keep their physical skills and mental state in a relatively awake state.

Once you are full or eat too much greasy food, the reaction will be slower when operating, and the operation will lag.

Therefore, the general team would have dinner after the game in the evening. Before that, they couldn't eat. Wang Sicong thought about giving the players a big meal at noon as a reward.

Many teams will have a big meal when they win, which is regarded as a reward for the outstanding performance of the players.

If you lose, you may have to go back and pay close attention to the review and training. You may just have a casual dinner, and you won’t go to war. It is very rare for Wang Sicong to take his players to eat a big meal before the game starts.

This also shows that his attitude towards the players is not so strict. In other words, he is not the kind of person who only sees results, and the pressure of playing in IG will be much less, because the above does not give enough pressure, the players will also Heart wide and body fat.

Look at PDD, KID, and posture, which one is not fat?
If the team has a player weight competition, IG is the well-deserved number one!

At this time, the IG team members came out of another box one by one, and they also saw Wang Sicong and Chen Lang.

The team members greeted Wang Sicong first, and then looked at Chen Lang and JackeyLove. This was the first time they met at close range. They had only seen it at the German Cup match before, and they watched the FTD match off the stage.

"Hello." kid greeted Chen Lang and JackeyLove with a smile.

"Although you lost yesterday's game, you two performed very well, which impressed me deeply."

kid has a good personality, and he also hopes that Chen Lang and JackeyLove can join IG, so he is very friendly to them.

These two are players that he thinks have very high potential. Speaking of which, when he was playing rank in the Korean server recently, he also met a very fierce passer-by, and he also wanted to poach him to IG.

"Hello." Chen Lang and the two responded with a smile.

Broiler and Kakao were also looking at Chen Lang and JackeyLove curiously. He had also watched FTD's game. The two played really well, especially Chen Lang impressed him even more.

He single-killed PAWN several times, and he did not lose the upper hand against him or even gained the upper hand. This is not an ordinary performance!
You must know that PAWN's strength is terrifying. He has played against opponents in the LCK, so he naturally knows how much pressure it is to face PAWN. He really didn't expect that PAWN was beaten so badly by an unknown player in his first show in LPL.

Although PAWN won the game, Chen Lang won the game against PAWN.

"Hello, I'm the team leader of IG, and my name is Su Xiaoluo." The man who was talking to Wang Sicong just now introduced himself to Chen Lang and JackeyLove.

From this point of view, the cooperation between the two parties should be a certainty. In the future, when Chen Lang and JackeyLove join IG, everyone will be colleagues, and Su Xiaoluo can be regarded as getting to know them in advance.

"This is the IG team leader, a high-achieving student from Fudan University, who I specially recruited to manage the LOL branch." Wang Sicong said with a smile.

"Su Xiaoluo!?" Chen Lang woke up suddenly.

Damn, I've been forgetting about this, IG is fine in all aspects, but this team leader doesn't do anything!
Chen Lang knew about this famous 'talent' in his previous life, and he single-handedly contributed to the four teams in the S10 World Championship!
Not only that, but he is a representative of deception, filling his pockets in various ways, and even the player's contract amount has to be paid for. In the documentary of the year IG won the championship, his personal shots took up more than half of the time. I don't know. I thought he played for IG and won the championship!
Otherwise, Wang Sicong is easy to fool, as long as he is coaxed well, what Su Xiaoluo did in another team, I am afraid he would have been kicked out long ago!

Chen Lang vaguely remembered the popular meme before he crossed, RNG's legal department, IG's management and EDG's operation department are the three magic gods of LPL!
RNG's legal department is extremely famous, notoriously locked contracts, and the players are almost eaten to death. IG's management is because of Su Xiaoluo, the management is extremely chaotic, and there are many internal conflicts in IG.

There is a saying that goes like this, the more outrageous the news about IG, the more truthful it is. Things that netizens seem to think are impossible can be fulfilled on IG, which shows how unbearable the management is!
I won’t say much about the operation department of EDG. It is the only team in the LPL club that can make money during the transfer period. Others spend a lot of money on players during the transfer period. Only EDG will sell players to make money at this time. It is also one of the few teams in the LPL that can make money. profitable club.

It is also because of this that EDG has not had any results since then. They are not willing to spend money to introduce high-strength players, but only want to rely on the people they cultivate to achieve results. It is too difficult.

However, the current EDG is still willing to spend money, otherwise it would not have introduced DEFT and PAWN. It can only be said that what happened later.

Chen Lang's heart sank. The idea of ​​joining IG was completely dismissed at this moment.

He is someone who wants to win the championship, and he also hopes that the atmosphere in the team can be better, but if he has a management team like Su Xiaoluo, he may not be safe in the future.

If Wang Sicong is willing to replace Su Xiaoluo, he is still willing to join IG, but it is obviously impossible.

After all, he is not a very famous player, he does not have that much influence, and from the way Wang Sicong introduced Su Xiaoluo just now, it is obvious that he is very satisfied with Su Xiaoluo, Su Xiaoluo is still good at licking people!
Although many thoughts flashed through Chen Lang's heart, he still greeted the other party with a smile on his face, and then left here with JackeyLove.

"Is it done?" Su Xiaoluo asked Wang Sicong.

"It's almost there." Wang Sicong said: "This person has a dream, and I also like to support people who have dreams. We are all dreamers."

Wang Sicong didn't know the many thoughts that flashed through Chen Lang's mind just now. He also felt that the two sides had talked very well before, and that it should be safe for Chen Lang and JackeyLove to join IG.

"Come on hard today, you can't be sorry for the principal's meal!" Su Xiaoluo joked with the team members, and at the same time licked Wang Sicong indiscriminately.

"Principal, we will not let you down!" Kid shouted with a smile.

Wang Sicong smiled happily when he heard what they said.

Xiao Wang is a person who likes to be licked by others. Who doesn't like to be flattered?

After Chen Lang and JackeyLove left, they met with several clubs in the afternoon. Among them, EDG met with them together, because EDG also wanted to sign the two together.

After a short meeting, Chen Lang and JackeyLove respectively met with other clubs that were interested in each other.

Among the three phantom gods, apart from RNG (king) who only wanted to sign Chen Lang, the other two phantom gods all wanted to sign a package. Even if their clubs had no shortage of people, it was normal to sign some potential newcomers as a talent reserve.

King felt that Wuxin was very stable, and there was no need to take the risk of changing to a rookie AD to run in again. Although JackeyLove and Chen Lang cooperated well, the game was after all five people instead of two, and the rest of the teammates might not be able to fit in with JackeyLove.

Instead of re-running, king is more willing to use Wu Xin, so that the four old teammates and Chen Lang and one newcomer will take a shorter time and be relatively easier to get in.

King's sincerity is very high, and Chen Lang has already expressed his attitude since Chen Lang's trial training, and this trip to the German Cup has allowed the king team to see Le Chen Lang's strength and potential. The treatment is very generous.

You must know that Chen Lang did not appear in the competition before, and the King team was very satisfied with the trial training alone. Now that Chen Lang has officially proved himself on the field, how could King miss the opponent?
Chen Lang thought about it carefully, and said that the most suitable team for him to join is indeed King.

EDG doesn't think about it, and the possibility of not being able to play is very high. Even if he is signed, there is a high probability that he will be transferred to LSPL for training or as a youth training reserve, and he may be sold by EDG during the transfer period to make a fortune at any time. No matter which team you go to at the time, you can't help yourself.

If you go to the Yuba team, there is really no possibility of winning the championship, and it will waste professional youth, and e-sports players are youth fans.

After all, LOL is a game for five players, no matter how awesome it is, it can’t be played against five, it’s better than FAKER, isn’t S4 also pressed?
You must know that for SKT in S4, as long as FAKER does not stand up, the game will basically be lost.

Although the king is back in S5, it is also because of the change of a group of teammates, which shows the importance of teammates. This is not a game for one person. Even as strong as FAKER, he cannot win the game by himself!
This year, FAKER is at the pinnacle of his professional status. His operation is obviously higher than that of all other players in the world. All the mid laners are proud of being able to solo kill FAKER, which shows that everyone respects his personal strength. affirmation and worship.

As far as IG is concerned, although everything is good, the team players and the atmosphere are good, but Su Xiaoluo's management is too bad, Chen Lang doesn't want to go in and fight, and he doesn't have the strength.

It would be bad if it was ruined by internal strife. It might affect his career, especially the pressure from public opinion. Parents who didn't support Chen Lang's career path in the first place, once they saw Chen Lang being criticized like this, they would definitely would thwart his career dreams.

King is good in all aspects, but in Chen Lang's view, it is difficult to win the championship, even in the LPL league, let alone the World Championship.

The biggest opponent in this year's World Championship is SKT. Chen Lang clearly knows how terrifying this SKT team is!
It can be called the strongest team in history. Even later, no team can reach the suffocating dominance of SKT in S5!

In the group stage and the knockout stage, he has never lost in the semi-finals, except for a 2-0 loss in the finals, and finally won the global championship 3-1!
The 15-1 record is the highest winning rate in the global finals, with a winning rate of 94%, and the most frightening thing is that this is just a record ratio. Before the semifinals, few teams have seen SKT's Highland Tower
This is a fact that is more desperate than a super-strong record, and it is not a single-handed enemy at all. This shows that basically SKT is crushing all teams, and it is not a comeback after a hard fight, with absolute dominance.

You know, SSW, which has been blown to the sky this year, has a record of 15-2, and even lost in the group stage, and there were a few rounds of comebacks, not all the way to the end, at least in the round of S. Slightly inferior to S5's SKT.

Although the development trajectories of the two worlds may be different, Chen Lang has already learned that the LCK side, SKT has completed the merger, the K team and the S team have merged into one, the lineup has come out, the top laner Ma Run, the jungler Stupid, solo mid laner, bot lane bang+wolf!

From this point of view, if there are no accidents, this team should still play a dominant performance.

When Chen Lang chose a team to join, he had to regard this SKT as his biggest opponent. He hoped to defeat this unprecedented SKT in this year's World Championship!

It is not an easy task to defeat SKT, the most dominant team in the history of LOL. In addition to his own confrontation with FAKER in the middle, his teammates cannot be defeated by the rest of SKT.

The World Championship version of S5 is the top laner version. Ma Run deserves to be the world's number one top laner. The LPL team played tanks in the league. They went to the World Championship and were full of offensive top laners. The LPL team could not solve the LCK All of this stems from the difference in the top laner.

Therefore, when some teams found Chen Lang, he directly screened them out, especially the LSPL team, no matter how favorable the conditions were, he was not tempted. The teammates were not at the same level at all, and it was difficult to compete.

This year, the major leagues have undergone reforms. The champion of the summer split can get a spot in the S tournament, and then the team with the highest combined points in the spring and summer split gets a spot, and finally the final spot is determined through the bubbling match.

The reason for this rule is that this summer KT won the LCK summer championship but lost to the opponent in the bubbling match, so that they could not go to the World Championship. Riot took this opportunity to vigorously reform.

"Brother Lang, are you back?" Back at the hotel, JackeyLove saw Chen Lang coming up to him.

"Ah."

"How?" JackeyLove asked, "Is there anyone you like?"

"No." Chen Lang shook his head, then asked JackeyLove, "What about you?"

"I have two choices, and I'm hesitating." JackeyLove bit his finger and said, "I think IG is quite sincere. This team is good in every way. Why don't you go?"

JackeyLove was very puzzled. At that time, both parties had a very pleasant conversation, why did Chen Lang change his mind after the end?
Chen Lang couldn't explain it to him either. After all, those things happened later. For Su Xiaoluo, Chen Lang really had a shadow in his heart. It was because his manipulations were too flamboyant.
"By the way, someone was looking for you. They came this afternoon, and they haven't left until now." JackeyLove suddenly remembered and said.

"Who is it?" Chen Lang asked suspiciously.

JackeyLove winked and said, "It's a beautiful woman. She said she has something to discuss with you. Maybe she's taken a fancy to you?"

"." Chen Lang glanced at JackeyLove, and walked towards the direction JackeyLove was pointing at.

"Hi, I'm Chen Lang, what can I do for you?" Chen Lang walked over and asked.

The woman heard Chen Lang's voice, looked up at Chen Lang, and said, "Hi, I'm the boss of Team XX, and my name is Lin Huiyin."

Chen Lang was very surprised when he saw Lin Huiyin. Lin Huiyin was so beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows, a ladylike demeanor, a well-fitting little suit, and a graceful figure.

After hearing the other party's self-introduction, he knew the background of the other party. The XX team she mentioned was the city competition team of this German Cup.

"Hello." Chen Lang said solemnly.

"I'm looking for you because I hope you can join my team." Lin Huiyin's mellow voice is very nice, dignified and decent.

"Don't rush to refuse, please listen to me before you think about it. I know that my team is not competitive compared with other teams. There are many teams in the LPL that are flocking to you."

"I can't give you the big contract they can give you, but I can give you the greatest freedom. I only sign with you for one year. You have absolute autonomy, including sponsorship and live broadcast contracts. Here, we don't get involved."

"There are only so many promises I can make to you here. They will be written in black and white in the contract. You can ask a lawyer to check it. This is my sincerity."

"We just entered the LSPL this year, but the trip to the German Cup made us see the gap between us and a real professional team. I want the team to achieve better results. If I want to enter the LPL, I can only choose to sign new players. Our original team as a whole There is a difference in level."

"Why don't you find some well-known players?" Chen Lang asked.

In his opinion, signing a new player like Lin Huiyin is not as good as directly signing a well-known person. The contract has no particularly large restrictions, and the strength is also guaranteed. It is better than betting everything on the new player.

Lin Huiyin smiled wryly: "Some players don't see us when they hear that we are a team in the city competition, and some are people who want big contracts to make money. We can't match such a high salary."

That's why she waited here persistently for Chen Lang. She was afraid that Chen Lang, like those contestants, would not give them a chance to meet.

She approached Chen Lang, and thought that the other party might accept her conditions because Chen Lang was different from many contestants. He was an anchor himself, and he was a very popular anchor. Such an anchor is in the era of the rise of live broadcast platforms very profitable.

Wu Wukai and others chose to retire at the peak of their careers and start live broadcasting, not only to make money, but also because the anchors made more money than they played professionally, so they made this choice.

Lin Huiyin's condition is that she will not interfere with any interests of the players, no matter whether it is a live broadcast contract or an endorsement or sponsorship contract that can be obtained by an individual, she will never give away any money.

Excellent players can get personal endorsement contracts, such as UZI and the factory director, but they themselves belong to the club, and the contracts are also with the club, and the money they get will be shared by the club.

What Lin Huiyin gave up was this part of the money. It seemed very useful, but it was actually tasteless, because there are very few such outstanding players who can win the favor of sponsors and get personal endorsement contracts.

But the live broadcast contract is a big deal. All the players of the team will sign with the live broadcast platform. This is negotiated between the club and the platform.

Nowadays, due to the rise of live broadcasting, the live broadcast contracts of all players are at a premium. Many platforms are vying for it, and clubs rely on live broadcast contracts to make a fortune.

For example, let’s say a player’s annual salary is 500 million, and his live broadcast contract on a certain platform is also 500 million. Fee to support players and get a commission from the player's contract!
Of course, not all clubs can allow players to get big contracts. This is also the result of the club's hard work. There must be differences between individuals and live broadcast platforms when negotiating contracts and clubs.

After all, capital is not charity, it is not that simple, all clubs also get money based on their ability.

Chen Lang's live broadcast business is booming at present. His live broadcast contract has not been signed yet, and there are many foreign platforms in contact. Once a cooperation can be reached, the signing fee will be a million-level anchor.

Therefore, it is indeed very sincere and courageous for Lin Huiyin to give up this big profit. This also makes the two parties truly a position of equal cooperation, not the status of ordinary club players and management.

Chen Lang understood Lin Huiyin's meaning, which was why he was able to continue talking with the other party later.

"Aren't you afraid that players will run away after signing for a year, training players for other teams for nothing?" Chen Lang asked.

Lin Huiyin shook her head: "Speaking of which, we are also in a cooperative relationship, not superior or subordinate. If the other party signs a one-year contract to help us get the results we want, he can be favored by other clubs through his performance. Ability."

"If the player does not fulfill our expectations, he should go."

Chen Lang then asked: "If I sign a contract with your team, what about the original players?"

"The contracts of our team's players have expired, and they will not renew their contracts. If someone is willing to stay, they will be a substitute. They can play out of the city competition again and be regarded as the second team." Lin Huiyin said: "The first team is equal to the second team." A brand new team enters the LSPL, if you have any player recommendations, I will try my best to approach them.”

Chen Lang nodded, that's normal, once a player hasn't played for a year, he definitely doesn't want to continue to play in the city competition, or because he's good enough to be spotted by other teams.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chen Lang's mind.

Pull some powerful people to form a team?
Maybe it works!

To fight against the powerful SKT, he alone will definitely not be able to do it, but it will be different if he has a helper.

If you join a strong team, generally speaking, this is not a problem, but this year's World Championship version is the top laner version, and the LPL does not have good fighters. In the league, they are all on the road to resist pressure. How to play marin?

Taking a step back, a player who can be at the same level as Marin must be a well-known player, and the professional team he belongs to is also a top-notch player, such as OMG.

But for this top team, even a famous player like UZI doesn't have the right to speak, let alone Chen Lang, a newcomer?
There is a high probability that he will start as a substitute. Whether he goes to EDG or OMG, will the club let him start instead of Stateless and PWAN?

impossible!

Chen Lang thought of a few well-known players in the future. Although they are not at their peak, they are still very strong now, but they have not embarked on the professional path!

Perhaps what they lack is an opportunity?
Chen Lang's face was serious. He was thinking about this matter. He knew that the decision he made now might affect his career or even his whole life!
If you take a risk, just bet on whether those well-known players in the future can achieve results now.

If you are more stable, join the existing team. Even if the team may not win the championship this year, if you get used to it, or the team strengthens, you may not have a chance to win the championship.

There is no doubt that the second option is more practical and realistic. It can not only solve the career dream, but also make money, so that parents can see the prospects of the career of e-sports players.

If he loses the bet, he may not have the opportunity to embark on a career path in the future.

Now, Chen Lang has come to a crossroads in his life, and he has to make a difficult choice!
PS: The 6500-word chapter is finally finished before 12 o'clock.

Regarding which team to join, I have been thinking about it since the beginning of the book, choosing between joining the LPL team or starting a new one. In fact, this chapter is also my own difficult choice.

I decided to go out and fight alone. Chen Lang went to find those mercenaries who came to help fight against S5's SKT.

There is no other reason, I don't think one person can change the direction of the game, whether it is joining EDG, IG or LGD, is it possible for S5 to play against SKT?

In S5, we couldn't even beat Europe and the United States, let alone the peak SKT, so I can only Guan Gong and Qin Qiong, and pull out a lineup that I think can compete with the opponent.

I still want to write more realistically, so as not to save the world by myself
(End of this chapter)
