Chapter 83
The answer is no surprise.
The most attractive thing for Su Xing is an all-Chinese team, especially an all-Chinese team with the ability to compete for the championship.
Others don't know.
But when Su Xingxing said that he had experienced the trajectory of player-spectator-professional player, he knew that LPL was no longer in the era of desperately needing a world champion.
IG in S8 and PFX in S9, these two championships are enough to make most LPL viewers feel perfect, not to mention that EDG also won the world championship in S11.
In this case, what would it matter if I won another world championship?
The audience has already seen three teams win the championship, so winning another championship later will not cause too much waves.
But the all-Chinese class is different.
It’s not that there haven’t been so-called all-Chinese teams since S3, but the problem is that in the end, the all-Chinese teams became like a curse.
Except for the S8 Asian Games, there has not been an all-Chinese team that has been able to perform well in world-class competitions. What makes the audience feel even more uncomfortable is that each generation is worse than the previous one.
Ten years ago, some people might have thought that LPL would definitely win the championship, but no one would have thought that even ten years later, the runner-up place would still be a difficult record for domestic mid-lane players to break.
godv, xiaohu, and left hand are getting worse with each generation. Even the short-lived Black Angel could only win the championship in S10, which was the same as the 3- result in S.
If there is anything that can stir up the audience's emotions again, it must be an all-Chinese team winning the championship, especially at this moment when the entire LPL cannot find a capable Chinese midfielder.
"Welcome to choose TES."
After hearing Su Xing's answer, Guo Hao was completely relieved. As expected, he knew that the all-Chinese team was a trump card that no professional player with dreams could refuse.
As long as Su Xing still has dreams, then TES must be his best choice now, no doubt about it.
“There’s nothing good about an all-Chinese team.”
Lan Lianhua was unwilling to give up and continued, "RNG in S8 was also very strong, but didn't they end up in a miserable situation in the end? There is really no future for an all-Chinese team these days."
As a manager in the e-sports industry, Lan Lianhua is well aware that the only promising approach for the current LPL is for an all-Chinese team to win the championship, but the problem is that the all-Chinese team winning the championship is itself unrealistic.
dream?
Isn’t winning the championship a dream?
"Maybe I'm better than Xiaohu."
Su Xing was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Although no one will ever complain about having too many championships, the reason why a dream is a dream is that it is more difficult to achieve than anything else. If you don't pursue the dream of winning the championship with an all-Chinese team when you have the ability, then what's the point of talking about an all-Chinese team when this hero is completely forgotten in three to five years?"
"I also believe so."
Guo Hao sighed and said, "As a human being, either do nothing or do the most difficult thing."
Blue Lotus:
What can he do in this situation?
He had no choice. He couldn't just send the two Koreans in the team to KTV just to sign Su Xing. That was not realistic.
"Before we start chatting, I have to remind you of one thing."
At this time, Gao Wen reminded: "If you really reach an agreement in the end, then the first thing you need to resolve is the Old Man Cup contract between Su Xing and Huya."
Now we have only reached a preliminary agreement on the salary stage, but the specific aspects of the contract still need to be discussed. After all, a contract worth 100 million yuan is not something you can get just by signing your name. There must be extremely detailed clauses that need to be read one by one.
If Su Xing and TES have really reached an agreement and signed the contract in the end, then it stands to reason that he should immediately officially announce his joining TES. Otherwise, it would be too late to go through the official announcement and procedures once the transfer period is over.
But the problem is, if Su Xing really goes to TES, then what about his schedule in the Old Man Cup?
Because according to the process, the LPL summer season will start first and the Old Man Cup final will be around a week later. During this process, Su Xing will either announce that he will not play or continue to play.
If it is announced that there will be no fight, who will bear the losses caused by Huya during this period?
If it is announced that the Old Man Cup will continue, TES and the Belle Group behind it will not agree. After all, the player who was signed at a cost of 100 million yuan should be announced as soon as possible.
Although she has a good relationship with Su Xing, she can't make too many concessions when it comes to the company contract, so this problem must be resolved.
Hearing this, Guo Hao fell into deep thought. This problem was a bit tricky.
"Ah this."
Su Xing was a little surprised. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Since I agreed to fight the Old Man Cup with Huya at the beginning, I personally want to fight to the end."
The main reason is that he and Uzi and others have been working together for almost half a month, and this time it was Huya who first found him to play in the Old Man Cup, and then TES wanted to sign him. If he said that he would give up the Old Man Cup in order to sign with TES as soon as possible, it would seem a bit too much.
In addition to the relationship between him and Gao Wen, it is impossible for him to ignore her feelings for his own sake.
"That's it"
Guo Hao paused for a moment and said, "I may need to go back and have a meeting with the investors. I can't make the decision."
After all, this period is when Su Xing's traffic is most concentrated, so TES naturally hopes to sign Su Xing at this stage to maximize profits.
"Well, thank you for your help, Brother Hao."
Su Xing smiled and said, "As long as it's really hard to be a pigeon."
"Yeah, I understand."
Guo Hao nodded and said, "How about this, if possible, we and Huya may release some news in advance. Even if we don't announce your joining on the spot, we still need to create some atmosphere to increase the popularity. What do you think?"
"Okay, I'm fine."
Su Xing thought for a moment and continued, "If you pass this proposal in the meeting, I can personally accept it. Then, I will leave the contract negotiation to Huya."
"OK, I hope we can proceed smoothly."
Guo Hao also acted decisively and prepared to go back and discuss things with the investors. Since Su Xing had already agreed to join TES, the next things would be much easier.
"Yeah, keep in touch."
The negotiation lasted no more than an hour, but Su Xing and TES had already reached a verbal agreement. After seeing Guo Hao off, Su Xing did not leave immediately, but returned to Gao Wen's office and the two chatted.
"To be honest, I'm quite surprised that you agreed to make a comeback."
Gao Wen looked at Su Xing and smiled, "Why, are you moved by 100 million?"
"One hundred million, it would be a bit hypocritical to say I'm not tempted."
Su Xing laughed dumbly and said, "Actually, the main reason is that this incident was exposed today. If I choose to go back after playing the Old Man Cup, my life will no longer be peaceful. Once some things attract attention and public opinion, it will go against my original intention."
"Too."
Gao Wen was silent for a moment, then said, "If you sign it, with your current traffic, you have a chance to earn 100 million, so you don't have to come back to play again."
"You want me to go shopping too?"
Su Xing smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's not suitable for me. The main reason is that I feel that the current LPL is not very competitive. Secondly, I have to admit that Guo Hao's all-Chinese team is indeed very tempting."
He is not sure whether the current TES is the strongest all-Chinese team in history, but from his point of view, the championship potential of this TES lineup is indeed the strongest all-Chinese team in history, without a doubt.
You have to know that there are only three championship teams in LPL, and it is not easy for TES to gather three championship players from these three teams.
The most important thing is that this team needs a strong mid laner, which in a sense is a two-way effort.
"really."
Gao Wen nodded and said, "There's not much pressure playing in TES. If you win, people will do everything they can to praise you. If you lose, there will be people who will help you share the pressure from fans. It's pretty good."
Although she was surprised that Su Xing agreed to come back to the game, judging from the results, TES was indeed his best choice, no doubt about it.
"You will have to work hard during this period."
Su Xing smiled and said, "I'll leave the contract to you. I don't trust anyone else."
"Okay, small problem."
Gao Wen did not refuse.
Because even if Su Xing signed TES, he would still stay with Huya Live in the end. In addition, given the relationship between him and Su Xing, there was nothing wrong with helping him deal with the contract.
"Then I'm leaving. Contact me if you have anything."
Then Su Xing left Huya,
At the same time, after Guo Hao rushed back to TES overnight, he immediately told several investors about Su Xing's situation. However, since they had reached a preliminary verbal agreement with Su Xing, they did not respond immediately but said that they needed to hold a meeting within the Belle Group before making a final decision.
Su Xing was also fine. Even after getting a contract worth 100 million yuan, his life didn't change much.
I play ranked games during the day, and live stream training games or team matches with Uzi and others at night.
A few days passed in a flash.
Soon Guo Hao brought the answer, that is, they agreed with Su Xing's approach, but the prerequisite was that Su Xing needed to sign the contract as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
Su Xing could understand this.
So with the assistance of Huya, he quickly signed a contract with TES. The 100 million salary will be paid in three stages. After Su Xing signs, 40 million will be paid to the bank card immediately, and then another 30 million contract payment will be paid every four months.
In addition to playing in the game, Su Xing also needs to cooperate with Baili Group to participate in some commercial activities and some brand promotion shoots.
Su Xing had nothing to say about this. After all, TES couldn't really spend 100 million to sign him to play in the game. He would have to cooperate with some off-court matters.
At the same time, at the instruction of TES, some rumors gradually spread in the industry, saying that Su Xing had decided to make a comeback in TES, that he was the highest-paid professional player in LOL history, and so on.
However, what is intriguing is that neither Su Xing nor TES have directly acknowledged this matter. Instead, they just release some rumors from time to time to whet the appetite of players.
During the whole process, Su Xing, as the person involved, still did not reveal any news during the live broadcast. Anyway, it is up to the audience to believe it or not.
A week later, the LPL Summer Season officially started.
As for the Old Man Cup, Su Xing, Uzi and others also entered the offline competitions one after another in the Old Man Cup schedule, but everyone felt that there was no suspense about the championship of this Old Man Cup.
Let’s not talk about Uzi and others, just the ID of the mid lane is here, how can we lose the Old Man Cup?
As for TES's summer season
Since the summer season started with a global BP mode, and the opponents in the previous groups were of different levels, TES, who was beaten badly by G2 in MSI, chose to go all out.
The first and second games of the new season were won perfectly.
At this time, some people began to question that Xiaonaiyou's performance was already very good, and it was impossible that they needed to change the price to sign a veteran player like Su Xing.
A few days later, the offline matches of the Old Man Cup were also completed.
The two teams that finally competed in the Old Man Cup finals were Su Xing's team and Ning's team.
This result is not surprising to most of the viewers of the Huya Old Man Cup. After all, according to their thinking, the matchup between these two teams should be very exciting.
On one side are Su Xing, Uzi and others, and on the other side are theshy, Ning and others. These two teams were actually destined to be in the final circle from the moment the selection results came out.
Huya did not miss this opportunity.
The LPL summer season has obviously begun, but the audience has no interest in the current LPL at all. The total number of viewers for one day's games is less than half of that in Su Xing's live broadcast room.
Even the broadcast data and audience numbers of games played by teams like BLG and TES are far less than those of Su Xing, who only plays games occasionally, does commentary, and occasionally plays the Tour Tour with friends.
Gradually, Huya also started to reveal some information bit by bit, and in just a few days, it once again raised the audience's emotions.
"Where did Su Xing go?"
Along with the official Weibo of TES, a signing video in which the people could not be seen clearly was released. One was Guo Hao holding a pair of sneakers and the other had his original face covered with a black shadow.
However, this prank did not last long, and soon someone noticed through comparison that he actually looked somewhat awake.
They have the same height and hairstyle, and if you don't know them, you might think they are twin brothers.
"Don't ask where the anchor is going. Do you believe that the anchor is going to play in the NBA?"
As for Su Xing, when faced with repeated questions during the live broadcast, he just smiled and said, "Don't ask anymore. Even if you ask the anchor, he won't know. Let's wait for the details to be announced."
On average, the live broadcast room now has more than one million online viewers every day, and Su Xing can hardly hold back when each person asks him the same question.
Finally, there was no other way.
The only thing I can do is add a striking red line on the desktop. I have to say that this has resulted in fewer people asking themselves what they are going to do in the summer season.
"Don't ask, the only thing I'm asking is going to the NBA this summer."
