LOL: You don’t want to be broadcast live on the entire network, right.?

Chapter 223 Returning home in glory! European and American olive branch, Brother Chen, I am Xiaofei

"Oh, hello, Mr. Ji."

"Hey, you're so polite. I've actually been following you for a long time. I noticed you before you went to LCK. I thought you had good talent at that time. Sure enough, you won the world championship this year and you were also FMVP. It's really amazing. .”

Abu lied without drafting his words and exchanged pleasantries with a warm tone.

Chen Yiqiu politely thanked him.

After he won the championship, his ears were tired of hearing such words.

If you were all prophets, you should have cut off RNG back then.

"Mr. Ji, is something wrong?"

Seeing that Abu wanted to continue chatting and cultivating feelings, Chen Yiqiu took the initiative to interrupt him.

"Uh...it's nothing. As you know, our EDG performance in this year's S competition is not very good, so we have considered signing players for the new season before, but after thinking about it, how can the signings be as good as our Chinese players?"

This is…

Su Xiaofei: "?"

beep.

White Star:"……"

Uzi: "What on earth did you do to him?"

There was a blind tone on the phone.

Bai Xing, who had been waiting nervously next to him, as well as Uzi and other RNG people were confused.

"Okay, keep fighting."

"Hey?"

Therefore, the so-called face and other things are not important at all.

Chen Yiqiu nodded and answered another call.

The puppy also stared at Su Xiaofei with expectant eyes.

Because he found that Abu really liked to talk in private. If he continued, the two of them might have to talk for an hour.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I really haven't done anything."

Su Xiaofei gritted his teeth and had no choice but to continue fighting.

This was an unfamiliar number, and he simply didn't want to listen to Abu's nagging just now.

He quickly moved forward what he planned to say ten minutes later.

"How can he win the championship if he doesn't go to SKT..."

"It's me, Yiqiu, uh... haha, it's time to call me Brother Chen. I'm Su Xiaofei."

Chen Yiqiu looked at his watch and said sheepishly: "Mr. Ji, I have another call coming in...Sorry, it's quite important. I'll answer it first."

In the LPL region where the top lane position is weak, who else is more suitable than Reaper to become an important puzzle piece in this territory?

Unexpectedly, as soon as the unfamiliar call was connected, a strange yet familiar voice came from inside.

"And I have talked with Ming Kai privately. He really wants to be your teammate. The contract is not a problem. When will you have time? Let's meet and talk?"

Although he knows that there is little hope, in the new season of S7, they have determined to create the strongest all-Chinese team in history. When Mata will leave, they have already selected YM's assistant Xiao Ming.

"I have sent the contract to your email. You can take a look at it first. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again. The main thing is that we are really sincere..."

Abu didn't expect Chen Yiqiu to hang up the phone so soon.

Su Xiaofei covered the phone with both hands, bent slightly and smiled warmly: "How are you doing lately?"

Abramovich subconsciously began to understand values, which is what he thinks Chen Yiqiu likes to hear the most: "Our Chinese players have now won the S Championship, so EDG must give priority to Chinese players."

Who can stand this?

As for EDG's invitation, again, configuration comes first, and he is actually not very satisfied with EDG's configuration next year.

After shopping around, you have to summarize all the information, and the most important thing about SKT headquarters, and then it’s time to make a decision.

Su Xiaofei cried out: "I was very good to him at the time. If he wanted to train alone, I would arrange a separate training room for him... Although it was originally a room for live broadcasts and there was no such room, how did he get to know Faker in the end? Why? Going to SKT?”

"He...he died."

More importantly, he has not received invitations from other teams in the division.

This newcomer has good support potential. If Reaper can be added, RNG, the strongest all-China warship in history, will take off in the Bird's Nest.

"All right…"

Money and the Bird's Nest All-China Class are the most important!

Shirahoshi couldn't listen anymore.

"Haha, Yiqiu, have you heard who I am?"

"what happened?"

"Hey?"

On the other side of the phone.

"Brother Chen, I am Xiaofei..."

beep.

Su Xiaofei calls again, and this time it directly prompts you that the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.

——Has been blocked.

"Oh, that's too much!"

Su Xiaofei was furious.

"...I'll do it."

Seeing this, Shirahoshi was ready to take the field himself.

"Mr. Bai, let me do it."

The third young manager next to him took out his mobile phone and considered the details: "You are the last boss. If you are rejected directly, it will be too tense. I will try first."

"He has never been in contact with me, so he probably won't hang up on me."

"Okay, if you succeed, your salary will be doubled next year."

Bai Xing promised huge profits on the spot.

Third Young Master smiled and nodded, preparing to call Chen Yiqiu.

But I found that the call was already on the other side.

"It should be that other teams... are too busy right now."

The third young master sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and explained calmly.

After trying for nearly ten minutes, he dialed Chen Yiqiu's number again.

"Hello."

Chen Yiqiu spoke politely.

"Hello, Reaper, I'm the Third Young Master. You know me, right?"

The third young master spoke confidently.

"Third Young Master...does he write online articles?"

Chen Yiqiu was stunned and didn't really react.

"what?"

The third young master was also stunned. What the hell is writing online articles?

"Ahem, I'm the Third Young Master, the former EDG..."

"Oh, I know."

Chen Yiqiu suddenly realized: "You are the third young master who often writes diaries, right?"

"...Haha, yes, this is a little hobby."

The third young master laughed awkwardly.

"Is something wrong? Are you also a lobbyist for EDG?"

Are you also a lobbyist for EDG?

Yes, for EDG...

EDG has already taken the lead? !

The RNG people next to them had serious expressions on their faces, and they suddenly felt wrong.

As the two giants in the LPL division, RNG's most direct competitor is EDG.

It seems that EDG was on the phone just now.

It's so disgusting, EDG.

Bai Xing thought like this and quickly winked at Third Young Master.

After receiving the instruction, the Third Young Master quickly smiled and said: "Haha, of course not. It seems that you don't pay much attention to the transfer trends in the LPL. I am RNG now..."

"are you crazy?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yiqiu spoke: "Don't bother me anymore, goodbye."

beep.

The third young master was stunned. He didn't expect that when Chen Yiqiu heard the three words RNG, he hung up the phone without even saying a word to him.

After reacting, his face turned red and green.

He became angry and said: "The villain has succeeded! He just won an S competition championship, what are you so crazy about!"

"Uh…"

Uzi next to him looked embarrassed.

Just won an S competition championship, that's all?

I don't even have a league championship right now.

When you say that, have you considered my feelings?

"...Hey, he's going to miss such a good opportunity."

Bai Xing suddenly sighed. These words seemed to be trying to save his respect. It was clear that Reaper looked down on RNG, or that Chen Yiqiu was allergic to the word RNG.

But maybe in Bai Xing's heart, Reaper, who failed to become the last piece of the strongest all-China class in history, did miss an opportunity.

"Okay, stop hitting me. If you hit me again, he won't answer. Let's do this... let's bring up Letme in the new season."

Bai Xing said: "Didn't Letme have a very good relationship with Chen Yiqiu before? Now the brothers have met."

Everyone was speechless.

……

Inside the hotel.

After receiving calls from EDG and RNG one after another, Chen Yiqiu's calls didn't stop throughout the next day.

There are calls from North American C9, European G2, and even Samsung from the LCK division, and even the Tigers.

Of course, the Tigers are completely focused on participation.

After all, they can't even keep the original members of the S6 Tigers in the new season, let alone sign a Reaper with an already sky-high contract?

From this, we can also see how popular Chen Yiqiu is in the transfer market. Although the transfer period has not yet begun, the war has already begun.

In the evening, the SKT small group gathered together again.

"The price quoted to me by C9 is three million US dollars per year. G2's price is a little less than that, but it's about the same. There is also LPL, which has the highest price. One team asked for 3500 million US dollars, but there are performance requirements. If not, it will be halved.”

Pei Junzhi was talking about his situation while eating.

There is already a hint of eagerness in the words.

Of course, they are different from Chen Yiqiu. Since the contract is still with them, if they really go to other divisions or teams in the new season, they will have to bear a lot of liquidated damages alone.

There is more exchange and discussion between clubs.

"My side is almost...well, a little bit worse. The auxiliary position really has no rights."

Wolf originally wanted to brag, but he knew his own affairs, so he sighed in frustration.

Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk listened quietly without expressing any opinions.

According to the current exchange rate, 300 million U.S. dollars is almost million life coins. In one year, this is indeed a sky-high price contract in AD history.

However, the AD position is one of the positions with the highest contracts.

As Wolf said, among the five positions in LOL professional teams, the contracts of the top laner and auxiliary positions have always been lower than those of other positions.

For example, the historical highest contracts for mid laners and ADs may be 30 million or 50 million, while the maximum contracts for auxiliary and top laners are just over 20 million.

This was the default unspoken rule of the global transfer market.

The jungle position is only a little weaker than the mid laner, almost the same as AD.

It’s no wonder that Li Zaiwan lamented that he had chosen the wrong position.

Every time he wins a championship, every time he goes through a transfer period, he will feel wrong.

Of course, he may be the only one who made a mistake in this year's transfer period.

"Oh, the price offered by C9 here is relatively high. Converted to our domestic RMB, it is about 2 million, but there are also performance requirements. G is a little less, about million..."

"Stop talking, stop talking."

When Pei Junzhi heard this, he already had a heart attack.

"No, why? Why can your top laner have twice as much AD as me? C9 must be blind!"

Pei Junzhi is really anxious.

In all his years of playing professionally, this is the first time he has heard that a top laner's contract is so much higher than that of an AD player.

Simply outrageous.

This is almost as good as Faker's contract.

Hmm... But if we compare the treatment given by C9, then C9's empty promise is indeed unique in history, and Reaper cannot compare to Faker in this regard.

"What about the LPL? They should be the most active over there, right?"

At this time, Bengi asked curiously.

Everyone looked over.

indeed.

As we all know, Reaper is the elusive treasure in the LPL region.

The LPL division is notoriously wealthy among LCK players. Last year and this year, the two major waves of Korean aid have caused a trend within the LCK.

There was a saying among them privately——

If you feel tired in the LCK and don’t want to give up your career, then the LPL is the best place for you.

We have money, we are close, and more importantly, the overall strength of the LPL is stronger than that of Europe and the United States. If we go there, we won’t be criticized by fans and viewers as going to retire.

The best choice.

If Bae Junsik wants to leave SKT and LCK one day, he may give priority to LPL.

If you decide to completely open up, you have to consider Europe and the United States...

"On the LPL side... EDG and IG offered very high prices. EDG gave me a 28 million contract, and IG gave me 30 million... plus the live broadcast contract, it can reach 60 million."

"No, it's lower than Europe and the United States?"

Hearing this, everyone in SKT was surprised.

Originally, they thought that the LPL division should be higher than Europe and the United States.

"But yes, the prices offered by Europe and the United States are indeed too high... To be honest, one is 40 million and the other is 35 million, which is too scary. I wouldn't have dared to think of a contract at this price last year."

Pei Junzhi reacted, shook his head and said: "It seems that this year's S competition was a great success."

If it wasn't so successful, how could these clubs be willing to spend so much money?

"Hmm...where are the other teams? Are they gone?"

Li Sang Hyuk felt like laughing for no reason at this time: "RNG didn't give you a price?"

"You can just say so if you want me to die."

Chen Yiqiu said speechlessly: "I don't know what their management and Bai Xing were thinking, but they actually called me several times..."

"They may want to copy the drama of Uzi's return to the royal family."

With Chen Yiqiu in the team, everyone in SKT is now familiar with several major teams in the LPL division, as well as their staffing and some jokes.

Even Little Peanut now knows the story of 4396, and has said that he is very sorry more than once and wants to apologize in front of the factory director.

Ok…

Chen Yiqiu thought it was better not to leave three portions of thin noodles for 7-chan.

"Okay, stop talking about me. Have you told Supervisor Cui and the others about the live broadcast?"

Chen Yiqiu changed the topic. Lee Sang Hyuk smiled and nodded: "Well, they are very interested in these platforms. If nothing else, we... the new season may be broadcast live in China."

After finishing speaking, he paused and added: "Also, I told them about you, so don't worry. SKT's parent company is very powerful, and I believe they will give you a good contract."

"Ah."

Chen Yiqiu nodded.

In fact, if possible, he would still prefer to stay in SKT, provided that SKT gives him the contract he deserves.

"Get some rest, we're going back to China tomorrow."

After a short discussion, everyone ended the conversation.

The S game has ended, and they have started to take a vacation around the beginning of the transfer period.

There is still a full month before the start of the All-Star Game, and they have more than half a month of vacation.

Taking advantage of this time, Chen Yiqiu also wanted to return to China.

And this time when he returns to China, he can stay for a long time.

And it can be expected that as long as he returns to China, those teams and clubs will definitely come to visit him.

Maybe there will be a classic scene of kneeling in front of the Chen family and begging for a contract.

……

The next day.

All members of the SKT team, including ROX who had not returned before, as well as Zhao Eunjing and others, flew back to South Korea together.

Coming back this time has been full of rewards. SKT has another S Championship trophy in the history of the team, and the five ROX players have become famous all over the world.

The birth of so many superstars is the biggest symbol of this S competition.

In the new season, these people will completely become the protagonists in leading competitions in major regions and even the world championships.

On the day Chen Yiqiu arrived in South Korea, he originally wanted to leave, but he didn't expect that South Korea's actions were no slower than those of the LPL.

The management of the SSG team has contacts with other teams.

What surprised Chen Yiqiu the most was that the LZ team, which had already obtained a quota for the new season, also came over and wanted Chen Yiqiu to join Longzhu.

But these teams, like the clubs that contacted Chen Yiqiu before, had not yet started the transfer period. Chen Yiqiu could only politely accept their contracts in the mailbox and compare them later.

The next day, Chen Yiqiu boarded a plane back to China.

Lee Sang Hyuk and other teammates came to see him off.

In order to send Chen Yiqiu off to the plane, Pei Junzhi and others, who had already been on vacation, returned home a day late.

This is not because everyone is being pretentious.

Although no one has said anything, when Chen Yiqiu returns to China this time, when he comes back next time, everything about the transfer period may have been settled.

It's possible that they won't be teammates by then.

So at this moment, even Kkoma came to see Chen Yiqiu off in person.

Before leaving, Kkoma patted Chen Yiqiu on the shoulder: "No matter what the outcome of this transfer period is, I will still remember the top laner I once led. He is the best top laner in the world."

"Thank you, coach."

Chen Yiqiu smiled and nodded, waving to Li Sang Hyuk and others: "Okay, don't send it off, I'm going back."

"Goodbye."

"See you all-stars."

"Yiqiu, paper man, don't forget the paper man!"

Bae Joon-sik shouted 'threat'.

Everyone laughed, and Chen Yiqiu boarded the plane with a slightly complicated mood.

……

at the same time.

Because of the importance of Reaper, even before Chen Yiqiu decided to board the plane, major domestic clubs and even the industry had already heard the news.

Even Tieba started to discuss it heatedly.

——Reaper returns to China this time. Is he going back completely or is he taking a temporary vacation?

Everyone has this question in their mind.

The LPL division obviously hopes that Reaper will completely return to his hometown this time, and the Chinese will play in the Chinese division.

The LPL audience also hopes for Chen Sheng's return. They can already imagine how Chen Sheng will kill in the new season of LPL.

As a result, when Chen Yiqiu's plane landed and he walked out of the airport, the pick-up port outside the airport was already filled with people.

"Reaper!! Reaper!!"

"Chen Sheng!!"

"Welcome home!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Chen Sheng, we have been waiting for you so hard. S7 is about to play a game in the Bird's Nest. Come back!"

"Ahhhh!! I saw something alive! I saw something alive!"

The audience and fans were very enthusiastic, and the enthusiastic Chen Yiqiu was a little confused.

This battle and momentum shocked the airport staff not far away.

"Which celebrity is here again? There are too many fans."

"I don't know. I haven't heard of any celebrities landing at our airport today."
