After playing in the country for a week, Chen Yiqiu returned to the LCK with the team.
It was a holiday that day, and everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers.
Jin Min, I found Chen Yiqiu and played with Chen Yiqiu for a few days, just to celebrate winning the championship.
Immediately afterwards, a bigger "race" began!
Every major competition area has sent people to LCK to recruit people!
SKT became popular.
Chen Yiqiu meets with the managers and bosses of two or three teams every day.
Many club owners personally take action. For them, Chen Yiqiu’s consent is not necessarily required, but they must come.
The reason is very simple. As long as one team in the competition area takes action, if other teams do not take action, they will wait to be liquidated by the fans.
So I have no choice but to come. At least I want to see Chen Yiqiu in person and take a photo together so that fans can see that you have worked hard.
If you don't see the group photo, you will be greeted by fans in various ways.
After learning about these situations, Chen Yiqiu could only express his sympathy for them. He had to go all the way to apply for a visa just to come and get a photo.
Of course, apart from Chen Yiqiu, others in SKT are also quite popular.
Some clubs even asked Chen Yiqiu directly about the situation of other people in SKT after they came to take a photo with him.
No way, for these clubs, Chen Yiqiu alone is worth more than their entire team, so they definitely cannot afford it.
So they target other people.
The most outrageous thing Chen Yiqiu encountered was the GAM team.
I saw on the Internet that they were also trying to fight for each other. Chen Yiqiu thought it was a joke and he was just joining in the fun.
But they are really coming!
And since the players and coaches came together, I originally thought it was just a formality and taking photos.
After all, GAM's financial resources simply cannot afford to buy LCK's first-tier players.
However, this GAM said directly: "Reaper players, although we have no money, but we have brotherhood, join us to play in the brotherhood league."
Chen Yiqiu was embarrassed on the spot, the key GAM is not joking or teasing, they use a very serious tone.
Of course Chen Yiqiu declined in the end.
Fortunately, GAM is also an optimist and did not show any sadness after being rejected, so everyone is still decent.
While SKT is being poached, voting for the All-Star Game has begun!
The so-called All-Star Game can be considered a grand fan meeting.
The five most popular players from each division are selected to form an all-star team and then compete on the same stage.
Of course, the nature of entertainment is relatively strong, so the BP and playing style are relatively casual, and some even deliberately create some program effects.
The voting in the LCK has just begun, and there seems to be nothing to pay attention to for Chen Yiqiu. He can't think of anyone who threatens him in the top lane position.
The time has come to the end of the month, and the LCK annual festival has begun!
The so-called annual ceremony can be seen as an awards ceremony, a summary of the past year, and encouragement to teams and players.
Backstage at the LCK competition venue, in the lounge, Chen Yiqiu pushed the door open and entered.
When I walked in, everyone else was there, Kkoma, Xiaohuahua, Lee Sang Hyuk, Bae Junzhi, and Lee Jae Wan.
“Here we come.” Seeing Chen Yiqiu enter, the others stood up and came to the door to greet him.
Li Zaiwan looked Chen Yiqiu up and down and said: "I haven't seen you for more than half a month. I feel like you have gained weight. It seems that your life has been quite nourishing recently."
Little Peanut teased: "You didn't pay attention to Jin Min. A social account? She posts loving photos every day, where she goes to play, and what delicious food she eats. It’s weird if she’s not fat.”
Li Zaiwan squinted. Looking at Chen Yiqiu: "It's so enviable. You have such a comfortable life as a child."
Kkoma also came up to greet: "Long time no see, Yiqiu, how is the situation here? "Have you found a new home?"
In fact, everyone in SKT has been discussing a lot in the group during this time, and Pei Junzhi and Xiaohuahua have already decided to leave.
Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk are waiting to be decided and are still looking at the situation. At first, everyone was quite reluctant to let go, but slowly, the unwillingness to let go turned into blessing each other.
These things can also be put on the table to talk about.
"I'm not sure yet." Chen Yiqiu responded.
Kkoma asked: "I think you seem to have more links with the LPL. You don't want to go back to the LPL."
Li Zaiwan immediately became nervous: "Huh? No way. , Do you really want to go back? Then... what will we do if we meet next time?"
Li Zaiwan knew how strong Chen Yiqiu was, so he became nervous.
Chen Yiqiu said: "I'm not completely sure yet, but I don't rule out the possibility."
He also needs to see the LPL rectification situation, and has been following up during this period. It feels pretty good. Although there is a lot of resistance, there is a very powerful force pushing forward from behind.
Hearing this answer, Li Zaiwan immediately grabbed Li Sang Hyuk's arm: "Then you can't leave. If you leave, who else can fight him? No, no one else can leave, we four brave men Let’s challenge the evil dragon together! The era of resistance against China has begun!”
Everyone else was amused by Li Zaiwan, but there was nothing they could do about it. Li Zaiwan was the most famous LCK Wolf Warrior.
Maybe everyone else will leave, but he will definitely not. He will definitely consider the problem from the LCK perspective.
At this time, Chen Yiqiu asked: "Pei Junzhi, are you sure you want to go to LCS?"
Pei Junzhi nodded: "Yes, I plan to go there for retirement, and the salary is pretty good. And you don’t need to train for more than ten hours a day. "
Li Zaiwan immediately became interested: "How much salary do they offer you?"
Pei Junzhi asked: "You want to go too, I can? Let me ask you how much it can open.”
Li Zaiwan hesitated for a second, and then immediately reiterated his position: "I must stay in LCK, this is my home."
Bae Junzhi smiled and said: "Then you'd better not know, Otherwise, I'm worried that you will be sad."
"Hahahaha..." Little Peanut laughed out loud, this is killing someone.
Chen Yiqiu asked again: "Wanghu, what's the situation here?"
Little Peanut hesitated, scratched his head, and seemed embarrassed to speak.
After some hesitation, Little Peanut timidly said: "I... have been in contact with LPL. I might go to LPL."
"Huh? What? You, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually want to go too." LPL, LPL is our biggest enemy." Li Zaiwan was furious!
Little Peanut muttered: "I don't want to either, but they...gave too much."
"How much...more?" Li Zaiwan's voice was trembling.
Little Peanut responded: "It's better you don't know."
Others couldn't hold it any longer, this was a second critical attack.
Li Zaiwan felt like the sky was falling.
However, he still had to stick to his position: "Even if I, Li Zaiwan, die of poverty, have no food to eat, and live on the streets, I will not leave the LCK!" "Bah bang bang..." Everyone applauded together, This has to be applauded.
Of course, Kkoma did not applaud. He rolled his eyes and complained: "You said that as if we, SKT, have treated you badly. Are you implying that I want a salary increase? ”
Li Zaiwan immediately became serious: "This... a salary increase, if you insist on giving me a salary increase, then I can't refuse, right?"
Little Peanut spoke to Li Zaiwan: "This salary It must be added. If everyone else leaves, and such a large salary space is freed up, he must be given more."
When Li Zaiwan heard this, hey, it seems...it is not so difficult to accept the departure of his teammates. .
Little Peanut is right. The salary for the middle and upper class is too high, and the total salary is only so much. Everyone else is squeezed to some extent.
Chen Yiqiu looked at Li Sang Hyuk: "Where are you, there are many LPL teams looking for you."
Lee Sang Hyuk did not deny it: "Well, there are people from all major competition regions, but those from LPL are the most active."
Lee Jae-wan's jaw almost dropped to the floor: "Ah? You shouldn't go too, right? Let’s go together with Ueno, what will happen to us LCK?”
“Wait a minute…” Suddenly, Li Zaiwan thought of a terrible possibility.
"You three won't run into the same team, right? Wouldn't that make you invincible?" Li Zaiwan exclaimed.
Chen Yiqiu shook his head: "I have no such plan, many things have not been determined yet."
However, Little Peanut said directly: "If I have this opportunity, I will definitely seize it. I want to be on the same team as brother."
Little Peanut came over directly and stood with Chen Yiqiu.
Li Zaiwan complained: "Look at how cheap you are, you licking dog!"
However, Little Peanut has already made up his mind, just lick the dog, since he got it After winning the championship, he fell in love with this feeling and just wanted to follow the championship.
Seeing the appearance of Little Peanut, Li Zaiwan knew that it was impossible to recover, so he looked at Lee Sang Hyuk: "What about you, you are the number one mid laner in the world, you can't be like him."
Lee Sang Hyuk should be more reserved: "There are many things on my side that have not yet been determined, but I do not exclude the possibility."
Lee Jaewan felt good when he heard the first half of the sentence, but something was wrong when he heard the second part.
This is just a way of euphemistically agreeing.
Li Zaiwan’s heart suddenly broke.
So he chose to go to Kkoma and said: "Coach Kkoma, don't you care about them? They are like this. What do our management think? Are we going to let them go like this?"
Kkoma responded: "Actually, I have communicated with the management about this matter. Their view is...the current salary in our team is too high, and the future profit growth expectations are very limited."
"So they It does not exclude players from leaving to give up more salary space. "
Kkoma is also quite helpless, and he naturally cannot bear to part with this championship lineup.
But the club was established to make money. If it can no longer make money, or the profit is not enough, then changes must be made to make way for profit.
This time Li Zaiwan was greatly disappointed: "Oh, you are all leaving..."
Just when everyone was about to comfort him, suddenly, Li Zaiwan came to life again: "However, I will say something ugly in front of you. We LCK have a lot of talents, and we can reorganize a galactic battleship by then."
" If we meet him in an international competition, I won’t be merciful.”
Lee Sang Hyuk complained: “I said it all. Many things are still uncertain, so don’t be so excited.”
While everyone was chatting, suddenly, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and a staff member reminded: “Everyone from SKT, please take a seat. The grand ceremony is about to begin.”
So everyone in SKT put away their expressions, made some preparations, and left the lounge together outside.
There are already many people sitting in the seats at the scene. The front row is full of professional players, and other LCK teams are here.
As soon as SKT appeared on the stage, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Some are envious, some are jealous, and some lament. In short, SKT is the focus and core.
At this moment, Li Zaiwan suddenly said: "If I guess correctly, this seems to be the last time the five of us will get together as SKT members."
Hear Everyone was touched by these words. It is true. Bae Junzhi has confirmed to leave, so SKT's championship lineup will definitely be dismantled.
This is the last time.
The host came on stage and started various briefings, mainly summarizing the situation of LCK in the past year.
Chen Yiqiu suddenly saw someone waving towards him not far away, Jin Min, me, and Zhao Enjing who was still sitting next to me.
The two of them were beautifully dressed and looking here.
Chen Yiqiu poked Li Sang Hyuk with his hand and signaled to him that Zhao Enjing was over there.
At first, Li Sang Hyuk didn't know what Chen Yiqiu meant. He took a quick look and found that it was Zhao Enjing. He immediately sat up straight and stopped playing with his mobile phone.
Chen Yiqiu smiled and had to say that Li Sang Hyuk's appearance as an innocent boy was quite interesting.
Soon, the host read about SKT: "Now, let us welcome the S championship team SKT to the stage and award the most valuable team of the year award!"
So everyone in SKT stood up one after another, Follow Kkoma onto the stage.
"Bah bang bang bang..." Other team members on the scene applauded enthusiastically.
When they came to the stage, everyone from SKT lined up, and the LCK officials next to them gave everyone awards.
Then the host said: "Then the Most Valuable Player Award, Reaper!"
"Bah, bang, bang..." There was another burst of applause.
Chen Yiqiu was extremely excited and proud when he saw Jin Min waving to him crazily.
Chen Yiqiu took the trophy from the official award presenter. The trophy was relatively small and could be lifted with one hand. There was another round of applause.
"The most valuable coach, Kkoma!" the host continued.
Kkoma bowed quite politely and took the trophy.
Although there were some minor awards given to other teams later on, the major awards were all won by SKT.
Other teams have no objection to this, after all, results are more important than anything else.
Soon, the annual ceremony ended. This time everyone in the LCK took pictures together. SKT was the protagonist and naturally stood in the middle. Within the SKT team, Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk stood in the middle, the twin stars.
After taking a group photo, this season is completely over. This is also the last time that the five SKT players will be on the same stage.
After the ceremony, everyone in SKT was about to leave, but they were pestered by other teams, who all wanted to take photos with everyone in SKT.
They also seem to know that this SKT team is about to fall apart. If they don’t take a group photo now, they will have no chance in the future.
These photos can even be said to have high collection value. After all, this is the first team to win four championships and three consecutive championships.
After working here for most of the day, everyone in SKT left. In the evening, the entire SKT team had a dinner together.
Jin Min, Zhao Eunjing, and I were all called in. This is the neatest family portrait.
Everyone drank a lot that night. Chen Yiqiu was even drunk. He couldn’t remember what happened next. It seemed that Li Zaiwan cried and cried very sadly. (End of this chapter)
