Chapter 170 If I can’t succeed in the field I’m best at, I don’t know what the meaning of life is
"EDG's top laner Fan is undoubtedly the most eye-catching player in the game today!"
The host looked sideways at Li Mufan beside him, "The FMVP trophy in his hand, which represents recognition of strength, proves this! How do you feel now that you have won this MSI championship?"
The translator standing on the side carefully conveyed the host's meaning to Li Mufan. In fact, Li Mufan had already started to translate and think before he asked the question.
Questions and answers at this level are relatively easy to understand, and on this occasion, the host basically uses more formal words and sentence patterns, and does not adjust to some colloquial expressions, dialects, etc.
However, Li Mufan didn't say directly that I could conduct the interview in English by myself. After all, translators also need to eat!
"I'm very excited!" Li Mufan openly admitted what he was thinking: "When I stood on the stage today, my eyes were fixed on the Summoner's Trophy placed on the center pedestal. This is my only goal for this trip! ”
"The final success in winning the championship is a very satisfying result. And there is an unexpected surprise!" Li Mufan raised the small FMVP trophy in his hand: "So I am really excited!"
"I think so!" the host nodded and shouted exaggeratedly: "No one can show disapproval on this occasion. You must know that the team you just defeated is the owner of three world championship trophies-SKT!"
Before the cheers rang out from the audience, the host waved his arms: "The old king has passed away and the new king has ascended the throne! Let us give applause to EDG today!"
Then the host asked the second question: "After today, your EDG team has actually won all the championships that can be won in the first half of the year, but the league's summer journey is about to start again. In the following games, What kind of goals are there? ”
Li Mufan raised the microphone. While waiting for the translator to convey the meaning to him again in Chinese, he turned and glanced at his teammates and the training members standing in the back row of the team.
Then he turned around and said, "Champion!"
"By participating in league events, I am not only representing myself, but also all my teammates, my coaches, my relatives and friends, and all the fans who support us. I also carry their hopes!"
< br>
"So my goal is to win all the championships in the competitions I participate in!" Li Mufan said with firm eyes: "League competition is what I am best at. If I can't succeed in this, then I don't know how I can survive in my life. What’s the point!”
The live host's interview questions also required Guan Zeyuan to translate simultaneously in the live broadcast room, but Li Mufan's answers did not!
In an instant, dense barrages filled the live broadcast screen!
【Be good! Is this the enlightenment of Emperor Fan? 】
[One thing to say, Fanhuang’s career is indeed very inspiring! 】
[At the peak of his debut, his form declined after three years of playing. He didn’t play as a substitute for a year and still stayed in the professional arena. It’s not surprising that he is where he is today. Other domestic players would have retired earlier and sold cakes! 】
[This year’s S7 World Finals will be held in the country. Needless to say, right? Let EDG continue to win the championship! 】
【EDG is awesome! Fanhuang is awesome! 】
Li Mufan's firm professional beliefs instantly attracted a large number of fans to him, and many self-media bloggers also cut this short paragraph into short videos and posted them online, and the number of views soared in just a few minutes!
The on-site translator relayed Li Mufan's answer to the host, and a large number of local audiences in the audience also understood it!
cheer!
Screams and shouts resounded throughout the venue!
In Brazil, where sportsmanship is highly respected, no one can refuse to be a fan of such a FMVP who has both strength and competitive spirit!
The host also repeatedly exclaimed: "Oh, the cake seller! This is today's champion! This is the power of Fan players!"
The interview is still going on, but obviously, Li Mufan, who was the first to be asked, has left an indelible impression on the hearts of the vast majority of the audience!
Carrying the trophy back to the lounge, the translator who stayed behind came up to me with a helpless expression: "Your cell phones are ringing off the hook! Take a look!"
Nearly forty minutes have passed since the end of the competition. The people receiving commendations and interviews on the stage obviously did not have access to mobile phones, but at this moment, all their friends, relatives, and colleagues who already knew the results sent their blessings. .
When Li Mufan took the phone, the screen flashed for a moment, and then a shock was transmitted to the palm of his hand.
He took a closer look and saw that it was the fat little guy with a cock.
"Congratulations on winning the championship! You're so fierce, brother! You guys are so creative in swinging Lucian in three ways! Our team is also planning to make a replica. Let's teach our brothers some experience!"
After all, Broiler is an insider and knows to send messages of congratulations after watching the interview, but many impatient people can no longer hold back.
So Li Mufan turned on his phone and saw messages popping up one after another.
After many years of playing professionally, Li Mufan has accumulated a lot of connections. He selected a few of his best friends and sent them a thank you, and then sent a unified reply to them on WeChat Moments.
Almost all the team members were busy replying to the messages on their mobile phones, and for a while no one spoke up to discuss the next trip.
Because Abu, the team leader and manager who is specifically responsible for this section, is busy with another thing at this time.
Looking at the messages on his phone, even Abu, who had seen a lot of worldly things with Ed Zhu over the years, didn't believe it. He couldn't help but take a second look, and asked some friends to confirm the other person's identity.
The final result is that everything the other party said is true.
"A big contract of 100 million?!" Abu took a breath: "Everyone, you are going to get a salary increase!"
In the absence of much capital injection from the big boss Ed Zhu this year, the club can only sponsor and invest on its own to maintain operations.
Originally, Abramovich was still worried. MSI won the championship. What if these people are not satisfied with their current salary and raise their prices?
Although they all have contracts written in black and white, sometimes the contracts are not completely safe.
After all, the player himself can be subjectively bad, and even if he goes on the field to play two games, it is difficult to find out.
Don't think that this kind of thing is impossible, the Tong Yang incident the year before last is still fresh in our minds!
Once there are discordant voices in the team, let alone continuing to compete for the world championship, it may be difficult for them to defend the championship even in the summer split of the domestic league.
Abramovich originally planned to persuade Edju more when he returned. The team had hope of winning this year and he could invest more money without losing money.
But he didn't expect that before his plan was implemented, a ready-made pie was delivered to his door!
"What salary increase?" As soon as Jack heard that he was getting money, his eyes suddenly lit up, he put down his phone and jumped up.
"Live broadcast contract!" Abu narrowed his eyes, "But I still have to negotiate, it has not been decided yet. They plan to get the live broadcast rights for three years, humph, it can't be that easy!"
Although the domestic e-sports industry has developed rapidly in recent years, players' salaries have rapidly increased from thousands to tens of thousands to first-line players' annual salaries of hundreds of thousands, and star players even receive two to three million in after-tax salary!
But the sky-high price of 100 million is unheard of even for Abu.
However, if the other party thinks that they can win directly in this way, then they are underestimating Abu.
Such an exaggerated and leap-forward quotation made Abu's horizons instantly broaden!
At that time, he lobbied the entire WE with just one word and became his first springboard to enter the e-sports industry. Regardless of his character, it can be said that his courage and scheming are top-notch.
Abu can tell from the information sent so early by the other party that this quotation is likely to be the price obtained by the other party after market research, and it will definitely not lose money to the other party!
Now they have just won the championship, and they have defeated SKT, which is full of topics and traffic, three to one!
It’s still unclear how much traffic EDG can attract at this MSI and to what extent it can be monetized in the end, but Abramovich feels that it will definitely not be less than the other party’s offer!
And from another perspective, winning MSI this year has completely different meanings than EDG winning the first MSI the year before.
First of all, the e-sports industry as a whole has become more standardized, and with the involvement of Paixun Capital, the e-sports pie is getting bigger and bigger; on the other hand, the most important events of S7 will be held in China, which is very important for domestic e-sports. It will be a great opportunity for the development of the competitive industry!
Countless external capital is eagerly looking forward to participating in this emerging industry!
Once e-sports really gets big and returns increase, then the return on early investment will be higher!
You know, there are countless people in China now looking forward to the first LPL championship. This is a huge consumption power!
And today's EDG, standing on this podium, has proven that they are the team with the most potential to win this year's S competition!
Whoever offers the contract at this time is undoubtedly gambling, but Abramovich wants to bet even bigger!
Abu replied that he was waiting to return home to discuss in detail, then turned around and put on another smiling face: "Brothers! Get up and have fun tonight! I will arrange the hotel, you can choose whatever you want!"
"Wuhu! Take off!" Li Mufan licked his lips. He had not enjoyed the local food since arriving in Brazil. All he could think about was the competition.
But today it’s all over!
Next, they will have a stress-free vacation for almost half a month!
"Let's show off the barbecue!" Jack was also very excited.
The previous schedule was too tight, and eating heavy and greasy food after changing their living environment would easily cause gastrointestinal problems, which would affect their performance. It had been so long since they had been in Brazil that they had not tasted the local barbecue!
It’s simply unbearable!
Everyone packed their backpacks, said goodbye to several representatives from the organizer, and walked to the underground parking lot. Abu rented a car specially for tonight, but he didn't expect to be stuck in traffic.
Hundreds of spectators blocked the originally spacious underground parking lot, allowing Jack and the others to enjoy the feeling of being top stars.
Fortunately, Abu called back the organizer staff who had just said goodbye, and soon a large group of people squeezed out of the employee passage and escorted their cars out of the parking lot.
Jack kept shaking his arms in the car: "Damn it! In just ten minutes, I signed hundreds of autographs!"
"Look at how much fun you have. You can enjoy it again when you return home!" Li Mufan couldn't help but tease him.
After the victory, everyone felt their shoulders relax. Even the junior boy Scout, who was usually not good at talking, became more talkative in the car, discussing local delicacies with Li Mufan and the others.
Jack took out his cell phone: "Dude, I've expected this moment! I've already prepared a strategy in advance!"
As he spoke, he showed off all the local delicacies recommended by netizens that he had collected during this period.
"Did you see it, coconut milk shrimp! Although I can't eat it, I still kept it for your sake!" Jack asked everyone for credit with a smile on his face.
But more of them are all kinds of barbecue!
Just looking at the picture, Li Mufan felt his stomach growling uncontrollably.
At this time, nofe finally put down her mobile phone and announced to everyone with a shy and proud look: "Everyone, I am going to hold a wedding this holiday!"
? !
Everyone was shocked, and then bursts of exclamations came out from the business car!
"Really?!" Li Mufan was very surprised. He had also heard a little bit about nofe's relationship with the former ROX manager, but he didn't expect that it had already reached this stage;
"When are you going to prepare? Do you have to go back to LCK to do it?"
Jack excitedly said: "Come to China, come to China! We have so many fun and delicious places! You can even have a destination wedding! But no matter what you plan, coach, I will definitely come and enjoy the whole trip!"
"You're stupid! The coach hasn't changed his nationality, so what are we going to do here?" The factory director gave Jack a shudder, and the latter immediately became much quieter.
Nofe felt warm in his heart when he saw the sincere blessings on the faces of the team members: "I have to go back to do it, but if you are willing to come and participate, I will postpone the wedding banquet until you come!"
In fact, with the depth of the bond between him and his fiancée Sejin, all they needed was a certificate and notification to his relatives and friends.
Originally, nofe planned to return to China to apply for the certificate during the mid-season holiday, but he did not expect that EDG would be able to keep going until they won the championship!
This was delayed until the end of May.
Although nofe has only been in EDG for half a year, he has experienced a lot.
Starting from EDG this year, which is almost a completely new team with two veterans and three newcomers, nofe led EDG from winning streak to stumble in the round robin of different groups, and then won two consecutive championships after adjustments!
The relationship between nofe and EDG team members has long been beyond the reach of colleagues.
Naturally, he also hopes to receive blessings from the other party.
"If we apply for a tourist visa there, it will only take about 6 days. I will ask Boss Zhu for help. Now that we are preparing the materials, it is estimated that we will be able to land there in a week!" Abu was also giving ideas.
"If I can get a visa, I'll definitely go!" Li Mufan responded immediately.
"I'll go too!" Jack raised his hand for the second time.
Afterwards, everyone expressed that they must go to the coach's wedding. Abu simply said that the club would fully cover the trip, which was regarded as an incidental reward for winning the championship - a seven-day trip to Country H!
"Double happiness is coming to us!" The factory director smiled with wrinkles on his face. (End of chapter)
