Chapter 226 SKT’s new contract, T1’s first live broadcast
“Hey, Yi Qiu, it’s me.”
The call was from Lee Sang Hyuk.
After not contacting each other for a few days, Chen Yiqiu felt even more cordial when he heard Lee Sang Hyuk’s voice again.
“Xianghe, what’s the matter, do you want to travel to China?”
"...I might actually go there."
Unexpectedly, Li Sang Hyuk nodded when he heard this, with a smile in his tone: "Congratulations, the headquarters has already discussed it. The plan temporarily gives you three levels of treatment. The details are a little different and I can’t see them, but I’m sure. It's definitely not lower than the price offered to you by the clubs on the market now."
Chen Yiqiu smiled: "Thank you, Xianghe, I know you said a lot for me."
The words here do not refer to whether SKT should keep him, but how hard SKT will use to keep him.
Fifty million is one year, and ten million is one year.
The intensity here all depends on the discussion plan of SKT headquarters.
Faker, as a professional player, logically does not have much say in this.
But the Big Devil is different after all. At least in the current SKT, SKT headquarters attaches great importance to Faker's opinions.
For example, previous SKT announced reorganization or bought new players. Faker's needs and indicators are quite important.
For Chen Yiqiu, this year Lee Sang Hyuk has obviously exceeded his 'limit'. He has always been taciturn, but this time he even lost his words, just to let his good brother stay with him again. Play for a year.
Although no one told Chen Yiqiu these things, he knew it in his heart.
That’s why I have this thank you.
"As you said, we are friends, very good friends, so whatever I do for you is what I should do."
Lee Sang Hyuk also smiled, very real He said: "And personally, I actually prefer you to stay. If you are not in SKT, then I think..."
"SKT seems to have lost a lot of vitality."
Chen Yiqiu: "..."
Why does this sound familiar?
You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Just say this to Zhao Enjing. What's the point of telling me?
"Uh...that's it, I'll wait for you to come over."
"By the way, don't hang up yet."
Seeing that Chen Yiqiu was about to hang up the phone, Li Sang Hyuk quickly said: "There is one more thing I want to inform you about."
"Well, you say."
"That's it, go ahead. Didn’t we discuss the live broadcast platform for the new season last time? Kkoma and Supervisor Cui also reported this to the headquarters.”
“Yesterday. Your domestic platforms such as Huya and Douyu have already sent people to South Korea, and Supervisor Cui finally decided to cooperate with Huya."
Lee Sang Hyuk said with a smile: "The transfer period is the transfer period, no matter what the future holds, now. The live broadcast cannot be left behind, you have to be prepared in the past few days, we may start the first live broadcast on Huya at any time.”
"The first live broadcast...Okay, I understand."
Chen Yiqiu nodded, actually feeling a little dazed in his heart.
The first live show.
I can’t remember the last time he did a live broadcast.
To be precise, since he came to LCK, although he has occasionally broadcast live during the break, due to his special contract, the live broadcast time is very short.
And at that time, he was focused on training and competition, and had no intention of doing any live broadcast effect. In addition, it was still live broadcast on Mouse Channel, which could only be broadcast domestically.
In short, there are all kinds of things that are not beautiful.
Really speaking, this is his first live broadcast on Huya after SKT won the championship. This is his first grand live broadcast since he became famous.
This live broadcast is different from before.
The most important thing is the various benefits, recommended resources, etc. given to him by the live broadcast platform.
For him personally, he must also pay close attention to the live broadcast in the new season. Whether it is to get more money when he retires in the future, or out of professional ethics, he must do this seriously.
After all, Huya’s 30 million contract was not given in vain.
Since he has given such good conditions, there is no reason for him to remain passive and slow down work.
In this regard, Chen Yiqiu is better than many professional players.
Perhaps it is because he entered the circle very early and suffered a cold reception.
So in comparison, he is more aware of how hard-earned it is for him to get to where he is today and get the treatment he is today.
Just like the emotion he felt to his parents after returning home yesterday, now that he has reached this point, he cannot lose these, he can only go higher and higher, and the better he goes.
"Okay, you should read the contract first. If you are not satisfied, you can still negotiate. In short... although I also want you to stay, you should not wrong yourself and get what you deserve. Something."
After saying the last words, Lee Sang Hyuk hung up the phone.
Chen Yiqiu knew very well the meaning of Li Sang Hyuk's last words.
SKT is currently considered his old club, but if it is necessary to split in half for this reason, then even if Chen Yiqiu is willing at the moment, over time, he is bound to have other ideas in his mind.
The ugly thing is up front. The annual transfer period in each major competition area is, to put it bluntly, a business competition.
Business competition does not involve emotions.
He put away his mobile phone, turned on the desktop computer at home, and browsed the new contract sent to him from South Korea.
Overall, this new contract is indeed what Faker said. It should be the second largest contract in the current SKT team besides Lee Sang Hyuk.
Even Bae Junzhi and Li Zaiwan, the two "elders of the two dynasties", are much inferior.
If compared to the current market, SKT’s contract is also very sincere.
The annual salary is 30 million, plus the live broadcast contract.
The annual salary of 30 million is already comparable to the actual price offered by the LPL division, and more importantly, the latter one.
The live broadcast contract is calculated separately.
SKT's calculation here is actually equivalent to returning Chen Yiqiu's live broadcast contract to him personally, and the club only retains one of the 19%.
This is because the club still needs to participate in the operation of Chen Yiqiu's live broadcast, etc. Otherwise, it can completely give him the contract.
That's the case, it's no different from directly returning the live broadcast contract to him.
In contrast, the LPL division, and even those in Europe and the United States, actually did not mention this aspect much. It is not that they are not optimistic about Chen Yiqiu's live broadcast prospects.
On the contrary, they should all be optimistic about Chen Yiqiu's live broadcast prospects.
But that's under the premise of making money for them.
How high is Chen Yiqiu’s current live broadcast contract?
Huya has already paid out 30 million. In a sense, this is no less big money than Chen Yiqiu's current professional contract.
Not to mention the profits from various gifts and the like.
It can be said that Chen Yiqiu is so popular during the transfer period, and his live broadcast value accounts for a certain proportion.
SKT can directly give up this part of the income, which shows that as Lee Sang Hyuk said, SKT headquarters has spent a lot of money, showing unprecedented sincerity.
I don’t ask for anything else, I just ask that the SKT dynasty can continue to last and not have other accidents.
"The contract period is still one year..."
After reading these specific benefits, Chen Yiqiu noticed that the contract given by SKT was still for one year.
The same is true for other LCK teams.
The LPL is different from Europe and America.
The years in Europe and the United States are the same, but they have requirements for Chen Yiqiu's performance in the new season, and they must be written into the contract. The salary is high, but it is a betting contract.
The LPL side is much more greedy. Take EDG as an example. The contract they gave as the optimal solution is also for two years.
In fact, the three-year contract has the best conditions and gives the most money.
But…
Three years is too long.
God knows whether Chen Yiqiu will go higher and higher in the future, or whether he will gradually stretch his hips.
EDG is gambling, and Chen Yiqiu is also gambling.
But he doesn’t want to be tied to a club for two or three years.
In contrast, he likes LCK’s one-sign-a-year model more.
This will neither delay the players nor the club. In short, if you can do it, you can continue with high standards. If you can't, let's not torture each other so we can get together and part ways.
I already have an idea in mind, but there are still some other details of the contract that Chen Yiqiu is not satisfied with. He plans to talk to SKT again.
At the same time.
South Korea, SKT club.
“Do you think he will agree?”
Kkoma was sitting in the office, feeling quite uneasy and anxious.
In just a few days after winning the championship, and just two or three days after Chen Yiqiu returned to China, the news that Reaper would fly away in the new season was like a torrential downpour, hitting everyone in Kkoma and SKT in the face.
Caught off guard, confused.
When does the promised transfer period begin?
It seems that the transfer period has not officially started yet, right?
Why are you leaving already?
What is going on with those LPL teams, are they so impatient? It's okay to just 'kneel' at someone's door.
Chen Yiqiu didn't know what the Kkoma people were thinking, otherwise he would have said speechlessly: "I don't even know that I have already traveled around the world in two days."
Europe, the United States, South Korea, and even wild cards have just traveled around the world.
“It should be possible.”
Lee Sang Hyuk sat opposite Kkoma. He was very concerned about Chen Yiqiu's fate, but he was not worried that the opponent would choose another team.
If I have to say it, first, SKT has given them the highest treatment, and he has reached the limit of what he can strive for. Second...
Yiqiu, can you bear to watch my brother and I play League of Legends alone?
We have agreed to build a dynasty together, brothers LOL, so come quickly.
In short, sincerity and sincerity are pitiful.
“No, I’m still a little worried.”
Kkoma is not as confident as Lee Sang Hyuk.
To be fair, although everyone has treated Reaper well since he joined SKT, when it comes to personal relationships, the best ones are with Lee Sang Hyuk.
Kkoma, as the strictest coach, actually rarely meets with Chen Yiqiu in private.
So others felt that it was stable, but he felt that it was not enough.
"Let's do this... let's book the flight now. It's best to finalize this matter as soon as possible. Don't delay it any longer. If we really wait for the transfer period to start, what if something happens again..."
"By the way, LPL officials need to pay attention."
The more Kkoma talked, the more he felt like there was a nail in his butt.
“LPL official?”
Li Sang Hyuk was slightly startled.
"Yes."
Kkoma nodded and said: "Don't you think there have been very few LPL official actions recently? This is different from their previous attitude towards taking Reaper back. "
"Yes..."
Originally, Lee Sang Hyuk thought there was nothing unusual, but when Kkoma said this, he also felt something was wrong.
As everyone knows.
LPL officials have always regarded Reaper as a player in their own region. SKT was able to "pick it up" entirely because of the original operation error and misunderstanding.
But no matter what, two Chinese people cannot be written in one stroke. As a Chinese, how can Reaper stay in the outer division?
We must come back and let Chen Sheng shine for the development of the LPL division.
This is an attitude that LPL officials have not officially announced, but everyone can detect it.
Even ordinary viewers and fans can feel it from daily media promotions, interviews and comments, let alone SKT?
But this time the Reaper's "leaving home" incident has caused such a big fuss, but there has been no big movement from LPL officials. This is very strange, abnormal, and contrary to common sense.
The LPL teams EDG and IG only represent their respective teams, they do not represent the official LPL.
“Could it be that they want to steal our resources from the recruiting channels?”
Kkoma had already guessed, stood up at the same time, and started to pack his things.
He couldn't sit still. No matter what, he had to see Reaper in person.
This person can’t even see it, and he is always panicking in his heart.
"Coach, I will go with you."
Lee Sang Hyuk did not hesitate, he also felt that it was possible.
Because although the League of Legends recruitment channel has little to do with the division, in the final analysis it is still a transaction between the two divisions. If the LPL really comes up with something new, Reaper will be forced to stay. LPL.
Then they won't have anywhere to cry.
“Okay, let’s book the tickets and leave now!”
Kkoma made up his mind.
"Hey, do you want to call Shang Junzhi and the others?"
Lee Sang Hyuk suddenly suggested: "There will be a live broadcast of the first show in the future, why don't we go to China together? ?”
In fact, he has always liked Chinese food and culture, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity before, and Lee Sang Hyuk is not the kind of person who likes to travel.
But now that Chen Yiqiu is a 'bridge', his always depressed heart is naturally a little out of control.
Of course, more importantly, if they go together, then Eunjing and the others might come too...
"Okay."
Kkoma didn't think too much about it. .
What he was thinking about was that Bang and Wolf all had a close relationship with Chen Yiqiu. This was a decisive factor at a critical moment.
This has been proven during the previous championship interview.
As for whether Pei Junzhi and Li Zaiwan would come, he felt that given the personalities of these two people, they would be very positive when they learned that they were going to Chen Yiqiu's house to 'invite' each other back.
In this way, without Chen Yiqiu knowing anything about it, the entire SKT team was about to arrive in China again.
……
"That's how it is, so I'm sorry."
Home.
After reading the contract offered by SKT for the new season, Chen Yiqiu did not drag the LPL club with him.
If you go, you will go, if you don’t go, you won’t go. You have to tell people as soon as possible to avoid them wasting more time here.
After hearing the ‘bad news’, the people in Abusu Xiaoluo felt equally disappointed at the moment.
Reaper is the most anticipated player in this year's transfer period, and he is also a figure that LPL officials and the club have hinted that they must win.
Now that they have not won Reaper, both their own team’s performance in the new season and the official results may be very poor.
"Alas... no matter what, we hope to cooperate with you... Let's call it cooperation."
Although Abu was disappointed, he still stretched out his hand and shook Chen Yiqiu: " The transfer period has not officially started yet, and there is still a long time before it ends. If you have other intentions during this period, you can contact me at any time."
"Our conditions and contracts remain unchanged."< br>
"The same goes for us."
Su Xiaoluo was a little anxious when he saw the good things said by Abu, so he quickly added: "We are waiting for you, Reaper!"
"Huh? ”
Chen Yiqiu was stunned.
Everyone around was embarrassed.
"Ahaha... Let's do it then. Goodbye."
Abu and the others didn't stay long. Seeing that Chen Yiqiu had no intention of doing so, they couldn't hang themselves here.
It would be okay if it was SKT, but they really didn’t know Chen Yiqiu very well before, let alone understand them.
As for clubs other than EDG and IG, the person in charge of WE was very enthusiastic and said the same thing.
Unfortunately, the contract WE gave Chen Yiqiu was too outrageous. Chen Yiqiu once thought that they were just joking with him, so he smiled politely and said goodbye.
The last person left is the team manager who not many people know yet, but is familiar to Chen Yiqiu.
Guo Hao.
Guo Hao rubbed his palms and hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "You wait until I get sponsorship, and I will spend 50 million to buy you!"
"Be safe on the road."
Chen Yiqiu nodded.
"Alas!!"
Guo Hao stamped his feet in annoyance, turned around and left.
He hates it now, hates that he has no money, hates that the club cannot provide it, or does not want to provide such a large budget.
If one day he finds a suitable sponsor, he must buy Chen Yiqiu over.
As time passed, this also became a worry for Guo Hao...
...
After bidding farewell to the major professional teams in the LPL region, Chen Yiqiu calmed down and began to carefully consider the details of SKT's new season contract.
In addition, he also found a law firm through his connections. He was extremely cautious and asked professionals to look at many things he didn't understand.
In the past, his annual salary was low and his contract was small. In fact, he didn't care too much about these.
But now the amount of his contract can easily fluctuate up to tens of millions. This attitude is responsible for himself and the team to avoid any disputes in the future.
Just like that, a day passed.
The next day came when Chen Yiqiu was about to formally contact SKT and exchange opinions on several details in the contract.
The personal phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Yiqiu, where are you now?”
Lee Sang Hyuk's voice came from the other end of the phone, slightly panting.
"Where am I? Where can I be, at home."
Chen Yiqiu was a little confused: "What are you doing, breathing so hard."
" Oh, I'm at home..."
The voice on the other end of the phone was distant and near.
Suddenly, Chen Yiqiu felt a noise coming from outside the door.
Faintly, there was the same voice on the other end of the phone.
"This is..."
Chen Yiqiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
