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

The next day, Guo Hao immediately brought all the TES members back to China, and then they rested for another day. This time they came to the TES training headquarters together.

In the training room, everyone in TES was playing on their phones. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the boss walked in with a smile and greeted, "Everyone, sorry to have waited for a long time."

Everyone in TES looked over.

The boss continued, "Thank you for your hard work and the long journey. I hope everyone had a good rest last night."

Everyone nodded.

The boss got straight to the point: "Now let's talk about the contract renewal for next season, one by one, starting with Chen Yi Qiu."

Chen Yi Qiu followed his boss to the office.

"Please sit down." The boss asked Chen Yi Qiu to sit down, and then he sat opposite Chen Yi Qiu.

"Haha, this seems to be the second time we've had this conversation." The boss smiled, very friendly.

Chen Yiqiu responded: "Yes, it was also here last time."

"How was it this year at Top Esports? Did you feel uncomfortable in any aspect or felt that there were areas that needed improvement?" the boss asked.

Chen Yiqiu replied: "It's all good, and all aspects are very well considered."

"Well, that's good. What are your plans now? Can you talk to me about your future plans?" The boss continued to ask in a roundabout way.

Chen Yiqiu responded: "For me, other things are not so demanding. As long as I can train and play games normally, it's fine. My plan is that League of Legends is what I am best at."

“So I’m going to keep working on this thing until I’m no longer any good at it.”

"Hahahaha, what great ambition! You are indeed a promising young man!" the boss praised.

"In this case, how about we sign a long-term contract? We don't have to sign it every year. Five hundred million for three years. If you think it's okay, I'll ask them to prepare the contract right away." The boss made a bold statement.

However, Chen Yiqiu refused: "I don't want to sign a long-term contract."

This was something the boss didn't expect.

Normally, the club is the one that does not want to sign a long-term contract. It is either a low-priced long-term contract, because the decline in the player's condition must be taken into account. If it is a high-priced short-term contract, what matters is the player's current strength.

Clubs are most reluctant to sign high-priced long-term contracts like this because there are many variables. A player who can win the championship today may be on the edge of the playoffs in a few months. This is very normal in e-sports.

On the contrary, players prefer long-term, high-priced contracts because they are very stable.

Now, five hundred million for three years is definitely a long-term and high-priced contract, but it was rejected!
"Can you tell me why you don't want to sign?" the boss asked.

Chen Yiqiu replied: "I prefer adventure and challenges, not comfort. A three-year long-term contract is first of all a comfortable contract, but I don't like it. Maybe it's my personality. I like to sign one-year contracts."

"I think I understand what you mean. Okay, a one-year contract is no problem. That year..." The boss began to consider.

This time he faces tremendous competitive pressure. If he offers a low price, the consequences will be disastrous!

It’s so hard to win a championship, but maybe TES won’t have a chance next year.

"Two hundred million, two hundred million a year. If that's ok, I'll prepare the contract." The boss gritted his teeth and decided to increase the salary by 100%.

He doesn't believe any club is willing to offer a higher price.

If we continue to raise it, it will catch up with the NBA salary level.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Chen Yi Qiu nodded.

"Okay, in that case, the salary issue is settled!"

"If you don't have any other requests, please go back first, and call Li Xianghe over for me."

When Chen Yiqiu returned to the lounge, Xiaohuasheng came over immediately: "Brother Yiqiu, Brother Yiqiu, what's going on? What's going on now?"

He held Chen Yi Qiu's arm, as if he was afraid that Chen Yi Qiu would run away.

Chen Yiqiu responded: "Everything is going well, sort of."

"Great, that's great!" Peanut cheered.

"Li Xianghe, the boss wants you to come over." Chen Yi Qiu greeted.

Fa got up and left.

After about ten minutes, Faker came back and it was Xiaohuasheng's turn.

Xiaohuasheng first asked Faker: "Brother Xianghe, it should be okay, right? You didn't encounter any problems, did you?"

Faker shook his head: "I didn't encounter any problems, what could be the problem?"

"That's good!" Little Peanut then left with peace of mind.

Chen Yi Qiu noticed that Chen Wei was a little nervous and even his hands were shaking.

Soon, Peanut came back, smiling.

"Chen Wei, the boss wants you to come over." Xiao Huasheng greeted him.

Although Chen Wei was not in good condition when he went there, he felt pretty good when he came back, so there should be no problem.

Chen Wei is not a cunning person and his thoughts are written on his face.

"Songsong, the boss wants you to come over."

The last one is Liu Qingsong.

Liu Qingsong went out with a cold face and came back with a cold face.

"Coach Hongmi, the boss wants you to come over."

Finally, there is Hongmi as a coach.

Hongmi was gone for about twenty minutes, and when he came back he was with the boss.

The boss said, "Everyone, today's chat is very pleasant. I am very happy to have this opportunity to have in-depth exchanges with you. I hope you will get better and better in the future, and TES will get better and better."

"If you have any other ideas, you can contact me or Manager Guo Hao at any time. I have something else to do and I'm leaving first."

The boss said this and left.

Guo Hao looked at everyone and said, "Have you thought about the champion skin that I mentioned to you before?"

"According to Riot Games' rules, you can only choose heroes that have been used during the S League. If you haven't used them, you can't choose them."

Only then did everyone remember the champion skin, which was a big deal.

Peanut took the initiative to speak: "I've already thought about it, Rock Bird!"

Hearing this, everyone looked over.

Chen Wei muttered, "Taliyah? This seems to be... a mid-lane hero. Although you can play Taliyah as a jungler in this version..."

Faker advised: "I suggest you not to choose Taliyah, otherwise people may not know this jungle skin and think it is a mid-lane skin."

Little Peanut was stunned and realized that this seemed to be the truth!
"Then let me think... How about Kindred? Kindred?" Peanut thought of another one.

"Of course, as long as you have used it." Guo Hao replied.

"Then I'll choose Kindred." Peanut made his choice.

Guo Hao looked at Faker: "Mid lane, have you thought about it?"

Faker replied: "Blade Dancer Irelia."

Peanut exclaimed: "Wow! He looks very classy, ​​a very domineering hero!"

Guo Hao looked at Chen Yiqiu again: "Have you thought about the road?"

Chen Yiqiu responded: "For me, it should be the Sword Demon."

Then there are the two people in the bottom lane.

After a painful choice, Chen Wei made a decision: "Kasa."

Peanut teased, "Why do you seem to be in so much pain after making the decision? Your expression is distorted."

Chen Wei responded: "Because I have to consider that this is not my only chance in this life."

Hearing this, everyone laughed. Guo Hao said: "As long as you continue to play in TES, I think with your ability, you can still win the championship, so there is no need to make such a difficult decision."

Finally, it was Liu Qingsong: "I choose Luo."

So the champion skins for TES2018 were decided:
Top lane Aatrox, jungle Kindred, mid lane Irelia, ADC Kaisa, support Rakan.

Guo Hao said, "Once it's finalized, it can't be changed. I will report it to Riot Games, and they will start designing and producing it right away. Of course, they will need our cooperation at that time, and they may need to take some time to go to Riot Games headquarters, mainly to cooperate with the action design, determine the basic style, etc."

"That's all for the championship skin. There's one last thing. The boss wants you to decide where you're going to go on the championship tour. Pick a place, and the club will cover the expenses."

Everyone started discussing.

Chen Wei first expressed his opinion: "I don't know much about this, I will follow your arrangements."

Peanut started to think of some clever ideas: "I think it would be boring if we just went to some ordinary tourist attraction. What do you think?"

Chen Yiqiu asked: "What do you think?"

Faker had a bad feeling: "I think it's better not to let him decide, otherwise he might lead us into trouble."

Peanut complained: "Brother Xianghe, how dare you say that to me? I don't want to play with you anymore!"

"There shouldn't be anything to do in the next month."

Guo Hao's expression changed. One month?

He originally thought that it would be at most a week or half a month, but if it was a month, the expense would be a bit high.

But he couldn't stand up and object because the boss had ordered everyone to have fun.

"We also have an e-sports commendation conference and an All-Star Game in December, and you need to participate in all of these," Guo Hao reminded.

Little Peanut said, "That's no problem. It's only the beginning of the next month."

"Uh..." Guo Hao hesitated to speak. Why did he feel that Xiao Huasheng was going to do it for real?
Chen Yiqiu asked: "Where do you want to go? Tell me first."

Peanut then expressed his idea: "Let's go to Antarctica! I checked and it only takes a month to travel to Antarctica. Moreover, the situation in the Southern Hemisphere is the opposite of ours. It's summer there, which is perfect for traveling."

After these words were spoken, everyone in TES fell silent. No one expected that Xiaohuasheng would actually say going to Antarctica.

"Why not go to Mars?" Faker complained.

"Because there is not enough time." Peanut replied.

"Are you serious?" Faker began to doubt his life. Peanut looked so serious that it seemed like he was really considering traveling to Mars.

"Are you going or not? I think everyone must go to Antarctica at least once in their lifetime, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, to the most primitive place with the least human interference." Little Peanut was fascinated and it seemed that he had begun to daydream.

Chen Yi Qiu looked at Guo Hao, meaning to ask Guo Hao to stop it.

Guo Hao then said, "I know you really want to go, but have you taken into account the time required to complete the formalities?"

Hearing this, Peanut was stunned.

"So, this... is definitely not possible. It's not that I don't want you to go, it's just that it's really too late." Guo Hao said earnestly.

Peanut could only accept the reality, but soon he found a feasible plan: "It's okay, let's finish our work and go then. It's still early before the spring season, we have time."

In the end, everyone agreed to Liu Qingsong's proposal to go to Northeast China to play in the snow.

The food there is also very delicious, suitable for traveling there in winter.

So, the next day, all the TES members set out and headed to the northeast together to ski, eat barbecue, soak in hot springs, climb Changbai Mountain, and see Tianchi Lake.

Meanwhile, voting for the All-Star Game is underway.

Three days after the voting began, it was basically stable. As long as no one uses their financial power to hire internet trolls, the structure will not change much.

The rules this time are different from before, only two positions are selected by voting.

Others need to be done through various means, such as invitations and KOL programs. The KOL program selects outstanding hosts, commentators, and media professionals to participate.

In short, this All-Star Game highlights public opinion rather than winning or losing.

Chen Yi Qiu was voted in without any surprise, and the second was UZI.

This time, he went there with the mentality of having fun. Chen Yi Qiu just wanted to show his face, play with everyone, and travel at the same time.

After returning from Northeast China, the TES club went on holiday.

It’s the beginning of December and the annual e-sports conference has begun!

In the front row seats, all the TES members were lined up, all dressed in suits.

When the director showed the camera, the comments in the live room were boiling:
[Akira is so handsome! Oh my god, he is so handsome! ]

[The big devil is so handsome, I want to give birth to a baby for you! ]

【Little Peanut, marry me! 】

[It's a pity that Li Qingsong didn't make his debut. 】

There were a lot of people at the scene. In addition to the League of Legends event, there were also awards for other e-sports events.

But it is obvious that League of Legends is the C position and the others are supporting roles.

The host came on stage and after a brief opening speech, the award ceremony began.

"The player who won the Esports Personality of the Year is..."

Everyone became nervous, this was the biggest individual award!

Other awards are flashy and have many titles, but their value is not high.

This eSports Personality of the Year is the highest individual award across all events.

"Reaper from the League of Legends division of Top Esports Club!"

The camera turned to Chen Yi Qiu, and the audience burst into applause.

Chen Yi Qiu stood up and walked over.

Peanut yelled, "Brother Yiqiu! Brother Yiqiu!"

Chen Yi Qiu walked onto the stage, took the trophy from the official leader, and shook hands.

Finally, he walked to the podium and began to express his gratitude.

It turned out that Xiao Huasheng and Chen Wei were both making crazy faces, trying to make him laugh.

So the director followed Chen Yi Qiu's gaze and gave the two of them a close-up.

Now everyone in the audience saw it and burst into laughter.

After the speech, Chen Yi Qiu came down.

Little Peanut quickly said, "Brother Yiqiu, let me see the trophy."

Chen Yi Qiu handed the trophy over.

"Wow, it looks very delicate at first glance." Xiaohua exclaimed.

"The next award is for the most influential club of the year..."

"Top Esports Club."

There was thunderous applause again, and this time it was Manager Guo Hao who went up to receive the award.

This is not a League of Legends award, but an e-sports award. The fact that Guo Hao, the manager of the League of Legends division, was asked to receive the award says it all.

Of course, TES was able to win this award because of its League of Legends division, as other divisions received nothing.

"Next is the award for the most influential e-sports competition of the year..."

"LPL!"

The person in charge of LPL went up to receive the award, and the people from other e-sports projects just watched without having a chance to move. (End of this chapter)
