Two hours before the start of the annual awards ceremony, Guo Hao finally arrived in Wuhan.

The first thing I did when I met up with the team was to find a room to change clothes.

Lin Ran put on a blazer, looked at the other team members, and couldn't hold back a laugh for a while.

Xiao Tian is as thin as a hemp pole, Xiao Ming is not much better than him, and the two of them look like children stealing adult clothes in big scalp shoes.

Jack is indeed quite tall in a suit, and the suit helps him forcibly break his adducted shoulders, and even his head looks less big.

But Brother Hao frowned.

"Jack, you tuck your hair so that you cover your forehead completely......"

Xiao Ming grinned, "Brother Hao doesn't understand, right?" The hair covered his forehead, and his face was small. ”

The eldest son directly started to shoot the hammer, and with one punch, he hit Xiao Ming all over the house with a hard and accurate punch.

Lin Ran, Jin Gong and Ning are all more than 1.8 meters tall, and their body shapes are also well-proportioned, and suits are the most suitable decoration for them.

Lin Ran tugged at his tie in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and moved his neck slightly.

In the mirror, he is long, and the expensive linen lining process makes the suit look very good, and the white shirt with the blue spotted tie sets off his eyebrows.

Yes, handsome.

was narcissistic, and Lin Ran's mind suddenly drilled out Su Cheng's suit two days ago.

At that time, he could accurately feel Su Cheng's slender and feminine waistline through the thin and smooth wool worsted fabric.

He made a god touch his waist in the mirror.

It does feel different.

Su Cheng, the other party who touched his waist, had already entered the venue in advance with an infield ticket at this time.

She is surrounded by a group of girls who are discussing luxury, and their boyfriends are all expensive star players in the LPL.

Su Cheng's eyes rolled around their faces, she wondered if she was blind, how could these girls look exactly the same after putting on makeup?

"Today's spring and summer Chanel's new three-dimensional deep V twill stitching with bronze double C buckle chain strap cowhide grain bag really looks good, have you bought it?"

"No, I bought a pair of Hermès Blanche ankle boots last week and spent a lot of money."

"What about you, Su Cheng?" A girl with heavy makeup came over, and the smell of strong perfume came to her face, "What do you think of LV's white checkerboard tassel shoulder bag this year?" ”

Su Cheng was stunned for two seconds, with an embarrassed but polite smile on his face.

Su Cheng had been listening to the topics discussed by these girls just now, and she felt lost in her lack of knowledge—she could understand every word and every word they spoke, but she really didn't understand what it meant when it was connected.

She felt that the Fulbini theorem was easier to understand than these types of luxury.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about these things." Su Cheng told the truth.

The girl glanced at the light and gorgeous black embroidered dress on Su Cheng's body.

She has been studying the fashion circle all year round, and she recognizes this as Valentino's spring and summer model this year, and the price of a single dress is 6 figures, and she can buy 10 LV bags she just said.

She didn't believe that Su Cheng, who was wearing such an expensive dress, didn't understand luxury.

Of course, she wouldn't be so stupid as to make brainless remarks to ridicule and pull hatred, she just thought that Su Cheng didn't want to talk to her, and she didn't want to be bored, so she simply shrank aside and played with her mobile phone.

Su Cheng was restless, she didn't know what she had done wrong, this dress was given by her mother when she celebrated her admission to Fudan, and it was the first time she wore it.

At this time, the voices of the girls who were giggling on the other side came out again.

"You let the partner buy it for you, he can buy several bags a month's salary."

"This year I asked him to buy me four bags and a few dresses, and I'll talk about it next year, I want a Hermes Kelly bag by then."

Su Cheng followed the voice and looked over, although the faces of the girls were the same, the colors and styles of the clothes were different, and she used this to match everyone's identities.

She recognized that the girl who said this was not married, and Su Cheng suddenly felt that there was a crack in the values she had been cultivating in school.

Su Cheng knew that a luxury bag was expensive, and she didn't think that an unmarried girl could make such a request to her boyfriend in a grand manner.

Su Cheng currently only earns a meager salary as a part-time analyst, and usually relies on the pocket money given by his family every month, while Lin Ran's annual income has already reached 7 figures.

Although her boyfriend is rich, Su Cheng and Lin Ran have to pay AA when they go out to take a taxi to go shopping and eat, she feels that she has a clear conscience in doing this, and the two sides are in a very equal relationship, so she and her boyfriend get along quite harmoniously.

She couldn't understand or accept what the girl was saying.

Su Cheng felt that she couldn't continue listening, so she picked up her skirt and fled.

……

It was already evening when everyone got into the car and arrived at the venue, and the moment Lin Ran got out of the car and stepped on the red carpet, he heard the cheers of the fans behind him.

The amount of barrage in the live broadcast room also exploded instantly.

[The face and body of the ghost are too handsome, right? ] Jimei rush away! 】

[Why is it different from the other people's painting style in the team?] 】

[I remember the promotional video of the summer competition, at that time, it was said that Ran Kuo wanted to be a male model, and today I saw that it was so. 】

Finally, the YM players, managers, coaches and others who appeared on the big axis stopped and stood by the red carpet wall, holding markers and signing their names on the board.

After entering the venue, Lin Ran saw Su Cheng standing aside looking at his mobile phone at a glance.

Lin Ran motioned for his teammates to continue walking.

"What's wrong?" He asked while holding Su Cheng's palm.

"I can't talk to them, I might as well study the Fulbini theorem here." Su Cheng smiled.

Lin Ran is not stupid, he understands when he hears Su Cheng's words and thinks about it carefully.

"Then don't sit there later, I'll find the staff to put you in the front row?" Lin Ran glanced at Su Cheng, "Teacher Su, you are so beautiful today." ”

Su Cheng's white cheeks were slightly red, "Mr. Lin, you are also very good-looking today." ”

……

The stage lighting effect of the Wuhan Sports Center is quite gorgeous, and after an opening dance combined with projection floor screen technology, the award ceremony began quickly.

"The winners of the Best Rising Star and Best Manager were ......" presented by award presenter meiko unpacket, "YMRan and YM manager Guo Hao. ”

The cheers from the back row of the audience were thunderous, and YM won the award at the beginning, which was undoubtedly a recognition of their brilliant achievements in the past year.

Then YM, which had just won the S6 championship, swept the five awards of Best Newcomer of the Year, Best Manager, Best Coach, Most Improved Club, and Best Club.

Guo Hao was holding three trophies in his hands, his face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at his teammates.

He knows how hard he has put in this year, but he wouldn't have been able to get this accolade without the hard work of his players on the field and back-to-back championships.

The chief analyst is receiving the award on stage, and the best analyst of the year is still won by YM without any suspense.

"Thank you PDD for persuading me to leave the e-sports circle at the end of last year, thank you to manager Guo Hao and coach Han Yi for their continuous cooperation, and thank you to my players, they are the most talented and hard-working children I have ever met...... "The chief analyst's eyes were red.

"Thank you also to my assistant analyst, your progress is obvious to all, and I think you can take my place next season, you are very good, very, very good." He wiped the corners of his eyes and left the stage.

Everyone at YM applauded.

They know that if it weren't for Su Cheng's prediction in the first small game of the semifinals against the Tigers, they would not necessarily win that small game, and then there would be no explosive play in the fifth game, and YM would probably stop in the semifinals in the end.

After the announcement of the Commentary of the Year, it was the Team of the Year that ushered in

This is also an important award this evening, representing the LPL's official evaluation of the player's performance throughout the year.

Lin Ran originally thought that this best lineup would also be won by YM, but an accident still occurred.

The best top laner was taken by Looper, with Lin Ran and Xiaotian in the middle field, and Deft and Meiko in the bottom lane.

The players sitting in the front row were a little confused, and deft himself didn't expect him to become the best AD of the year in an S6 quarterfinals.

But the EDG fans in the rear exploded instantly.

"Deft, don't go!"

"Be sure to work hard when you go back next year!"

"You and Meiko are going to be good!"

Among them, there are also many CP female fans of deft and meiko, who hold deft's light signs, cheering and screaming for the best bottom lane group in their hearts.

Lin Ran understood the official thoughts, and they felt that deft, who had played for the LPL for two years, was about to leave the team and should be given a certain amount of praise.

In addition, many previous awards have been biased in favor of YM, and this best bottom lane combination has to give EDG a piece of the pie.

But Jin Gong, Jack and Xiao Ming's faces were stinky, and the three of them only applauded symbolically twice in the end.

They didn't expect that they would win the first S championship in the LPL, but they couldn't even get a best lineup.

Jack and Xiao Ming can also use their own data to perform really worse than EDG's bottom lane duo to comfort themselves.

But he couldn't, he was very disappointed.

In terms of nationality, Looper and he are both outsiders, and he is not bad in terms of data, and Looper is not as clear as Deft is now leaving the team during the winter transition.

In terms of results this year, there is only one spring crown + MSI top 4 + S6 top four.

He Xiba summer champion + S6 champion + Demacia Cup champion, is the gold content not stronger than this year's looper?

Lin Ran and Xiaoxia took the stage to distribute the trophies in their hands to their teammates.

"It doesn't matter what other people think, in my heart you are your best teammates." Lin Ran is colored.

But the three teammates are obviously still a little depressed, after a hard year, all the events they participated in won the championship, and in the end they couldn't even get a commendation, who can withstand it?

The barrage in the live broadcast room also fought for YM.

[Laugh at me, tell me a joke, the candidates for the best team of the first S crown team in the LPL are the same as the stinky quarterfinals. 】

[This is not shady? Official Nima will be hit by a mud truck tonight! 】

[Just hard to please CP fans, right? ] I'm going back tonight to write Jack and Ming's rotten essays, can you give the award to my cubs? 】

But the water is hard to collect, and the dust has settled on the awards.

Next is the last award of this awards ceremony - the much-anticipated MVP of the year, which only one of the hundreds of LPL players in a year can win.

Lin Ran thought before the award ceremony that he would win this award, after all, he had FMVP in his hand, and he could be said to be the hardest player in LPL honor this year.

But as soon as the moth of the best team came out, he didn't have much hope for himself.

"The next award is the 2016 MVP of the year...... "Tengjing CEO 'Bobby' on the stage first mobilized the emotions of the audience, and then showed a satisfied smile, "Please look at the big screen first." ”

There are three nominees, Lin Ran, Deft and Spicy Pot.

Lin Ran knew that the latter was basically running with him this year.

Whether it is the results or the performance on the field, there are no particularly outstanding points compared with the first two, probably in order to give RNG, which also entered S6, a face, and pushed one person up.

The big screen shows the wonderful operations of the three candidates this year, and there is a list of data next to it.

Spicy Xiangguo has the highest 74.7% participation rate in the jungler, the second-highest raid success rate in the same position, and the 8.8 assists per game in the same position.

deft has an exaggerated 21 MVPs this year, plus the AD spot is the No. 1 in terms of average output, damage conversion rate, and economy lead.

It's no exaggeration to say that he did dominate this year's LPL league as an ADC.

When Lin Ran's tidbits appeared on the big screen at the scene, the cheers of fans who supported YM also did not stop.

From Rambo Four Kills who debuted in the LPL to Clockwork Dragon Pit R Flash, from the Yellow Rooster's ultra-long drift to the thousand-yard hanging ignition of the robbery, from the vampire who killed Uzi in the army to the star string of the last Dragon King R flash in the summer duel.

From the mid-laner Lucian's solo kill faker, the groundbreaking Ruiz R Golden Body to the S6 Finals tiebreaker, the time leopard girl of the airplane combination dealt with Lin Ran's command flag cannon car in the middle of the lane.

The picture was finally frozen at the moment when Lin Ran raised his head slightly and picked up the summoner trophy, and the golden rain poured down from the sky.

The average output is 777 (2nd in all positions), the damage conversion rate is 185.2% (1st in all positions), 23 single kills in opposition (1st in all positions), and the participation rate is 80.25% (1st in all positions).

Except for the first place in the average output was snatched away by broilers who suddenly broke out in a few games after the summer game, the others were the first in the whole position.

The numbers are exaggerated and dominant. Xiaotao Chinese

[One thing to say, pure passerby, data + honor, Brother Ran can't take this MVP of the year, right? ] 】

[Can this still be given? If I return it to the alpaca, I will rush LOL Weibo tonight. 】

[Turtle and turtle, the first single kill + the first participation rate? ] How did he do it? 】

[If you stop me from wandering, I'll kill you and then run to help my teammates, it's very simple. 】

[The participation rate is higher than that of the jungler, which is outrageous in NMB!] 】

Last year's MVP of the Year winner, the factory manager, took the stage and presented the most prestigious award with 'Bobby'.

The barrage is now full of 4396, and the damage figure that the factory director scored by himself in the quarterfinals is like a scar that will accompany him for the rest of his career.

"The winner of the 2016 MVP is ......" Bobbi opened the envelope, laughed, and handed it to the factory director on the side.

“YMRan！” The dead fish eyes of the factory director were also dyed with a smile, "Congratulations! ”

When the director read YM, the YM fans in the audience had already erupted in deafening cheers.

They kept waving the glow sticks in their hands, and the MVP resounded throughout the stadium!

[Everyone's looking forward to it! 】

[No problem, S6FMVP can't afford you a regional MVP title? ] 】

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and hugged his teammates, coaches and others on the side.

The upper and lower trio, who were depressed before, were also beaming with honor at this time.

After hugging Brother Hao, Lin Ran did not go on stage immediately, and then turned behind him.

Su Cheng was sitting there, she saw Lin Ran who stretched out her hands, pursed her lips and smiled.

"Congratulations, Mr. Lin." Su Cheng leaned forward slightly and hugged Lin Ran.

Lin Ran smiled and patted his girlfriend on the shoulder.

Tengjing's official videographer, Yicun, raised his camera on the side and froze this scene in his own camera.

[Isn't this the female bodhisattva who wore a suit that day? Woo woo woo so beautiful, I'm really in love with ......]

[Why do I think something is wrong with these two people?] 】

[The brothers who think they are a good match will play the good match on the public screen! ] 】

Lin Ran left his seat and walked towards the stage with vigorous steps, his suit made him look handsome.

A male voice resounded in the venue, and a warm and magnetic voice lingered in the venue.

"His Xu is like a forest, and his invasion is like fire, just like his name 'Lin Ran' interprets a distinct personal style."

"He is the sharp knife that pierces the enemy's heart with the wind, the best answer when the wind turns the tables, the engine that starts the rhythm, and the bearing that links the whole team."

"In the name of will, try your best to fight bravely, and the answer is in your heart." (For an explanation of this sentence, see 'Writer's Words')

"Three times against the enemy, he is the most dazzling fire, burning everything to illuminate the darkest eternal night in the LPL region, letting us know that there is still hope."

"2016 MVP of the Year, YMRan."

Amid the cheers of the audience, Lin Ran stepped on the steps and stepped onto the stage to receive the trophy from Bobby.

"Thank you to my teammates who have been with me day and night, to our best management, you are the best team I have ever met, and to the team's assistant analysts for their support and encouragement." Lin Ran pointed at the microphone and looked ahead.

"Thank you to the fans who have supported me along the way, your encouragement is very important to me, I vaguely remember this time last year, it was supposed to be the day I reached the top of the canyon, and at this moment this year, I am standing here and continuing to chase the next goal."

"It's just the beginning, and I haven't seen the end yet."

……

On the night of the award ceremony, all YM owners took a plane out of Wuhan for a two-month off-season.

On the plane, Guo Hao pulled Lin Ran aside and whispered.

"Xiaotian and Jack, I've been talking about it for the past two days." Guo Hao glanced up, and the team members were resting with blindfolds and thin blankets, so he was relieved to speak.

Jack originally wanted to go to the free market to test the waters, but the big head AD heard that Lin Ran had the idea of taking a salary cut to stay in the team and continue to hold the team, so he immediately changed his mind.

He also knows that Lin Ran's mid-laner is unavoidable, he can control any style, and if he wants C to C, he can also C, and he doesn't say a word about frequently wandering to be a dog for himself.

Jack is now young and the time to pursue results, having played a year at YM, and the minimum requirements for his team selection must be quasi-world level.

Only EDG, which is about to leave, meets this condition; Although IG also lacks AD, its results are too poor, and now it is only a fringe team in the playoffs.

Jack has benefited a lot from playing with S6's wolf stick combination, and his goal in the past two years is to compete with stronger opponents and learn from stronger opponents.

The negotiation with Xiaotian was even more simple and easy, and before Brother Hao came to the door, Xiaotian himself expressed his desire to stay in the team, and the salary he asked for was only 75% of the quotation of other clubs.

Gao Tianliang is not good, he knows that as long as Lin Ran is here, he will always be comfortable in the wild area, and the big brother in the middle lane is not yet 18 years old, and the peak may not have come yet.

And the garlic king also understands that he may not be worse off than Jack when he tests the free market now.

Now WE has Mr. Kang, who is in hot form, RNG has a spicy fragrant pot, and although the EDG director has made a shameful number, he is obviously in acceptable condition, and there is no shortage of junglers in several top clubs outside.

If he doesn't stay in YM, won't he want to go to the middle and lower reaches of the team?

The intention of the two to renew was quickly confirmed.

And Su Xiaoluo had already called this evening and asked for signing Ning.

Guo Hao did not get stuck in the contract, and after asking Ning's opinion, the two sides reached an agreement, and the electronic contract was signed when the winter transition period began.

Now only Xiao Ming and Jin Gong are left, and they have not expressed their intention to sign a contract.

"I went back to the base to talk to Jin Gong, and he is in a bit of a negative mood right now." Guo Hao sighed.

On the same day that the German Cup ended, the LCK also set off a major earthquake at this time.

ROX won the KeSpa Cup in Korea and defeated SKT head-on for the first time.

The smeb who was holding the cup was excited and wept, and the bright fireworks in his dream became a reality in front of his eyes.

After the game, the official Twitter post announced the disbandment of the team, and the players and coaches flowed into the free market to test the waters.

The last Tigers were scattered after all.

……

YM returned to the base to rest, and Lin Ran found Jin Gong one step ahead of Brother Hao early the next morning.

"Brother Xiba, can we talk?"

Jin Gong and the coach lived in the same room, and at this time, Han Yi's bedside table was empty, and he was ready to pack his luggage and prepare to leave the YM base.

The Xiba people did not raise any objections, Lin Ran closed the door of the room, and then sat down in a chair.

"Are you still struggling with the Team of the Year?"

Jin Gong nodded silently, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, and he looked rather decadent.

"Do you care about this honor?" Lin Ran is not in a hurry to throw out the question of renewal, and first follow the temptation.

"I kind of care......" Jin Gong said in Mandarin with the smell of lamb skewers, "I don't feel recognized." ”

"That's an official problem," Lin Ran looked him straight in the eye, "Do you think the official recognition is more important or the recognition between our old teammates?" ”

"Of course it's you!" Jin Gong raised his voice.

Lin Ran felt that his plan had succeeded for the most part.

"I remember your sword concubine, how many times did the two of us cooperate to steal the opponent's base? How many times your captain has been able to stand up and take over the game in the early and mid-stage team battles, you don't have to doubt your own strength. ”

"You are a very important part of our team, if we are 4 packs of 2, you can't bear the pressure on the road alone, then we will almost help the road for nothing, and the economic ball will not roll at all."

"Jin Gong, it is precisely because of your presence that we can free up the upper road to the lower road as we like," Lin Ran said word by word, "because we believe that you can withstand the pressure." ”

"You are the strongest top laner in the hearts of the four of us, you are the legendary warrior, Jimu Gong."

Lin Ran felt that his Jack was possessed at this moment, and praised his teammates' abilities for improving to the peak.

Jin Gong hugged him, Lin Ran didn't feel anything else, but his neck was strangled and hurt a little.

Jin Gong decided to stay, he thought about it for two days, and knew that it was not realistic to go to the free market.

Now IG has identified South Korea's middle and upper; WE is impossible to dismantle the double Korean aid on the lower road; EDG's manager has already gone to South Korea to poach the ADC that replaced deft, and the junior brother scout is also a double Korean aid.

And the snake team has the holy gun brother, and RNG has a looper, so it is impossible to change to a single; The remaining VG is rumored to be about to talk about SKT's meritorious fight against the wild stupid chicken, and form an SKT midfield linkage with Hou Ye, and there is no foreign aid quota.

After thinking about it, the best choice in Jingong is still in YM.

After getting Jin Gong, Lin Ran breathed a long sigh of relief.

He was ready for the original team to fight S7 again, but he didn't expect a sudden mistake.

RNG made a move.

"3000W for 3 years? Are you crazy? "Brother Hao was dumbfounded when he got this number from the RNG manager.

The RNG manager was sure again and again.

Yes, that's right, 3000W for 3 years, package part of the portrait rights, advertising revenue, live broadcast contract and priority renewal right.

According to Uzi's meaning, sign Xiao Ming.

In the era when the top auxiliary mata could only get 650W a year last year, RNG decisively offered a super lucrative contract of 3000W for 3 years.

Guo Hao's two-year 1150W contract was not competitive in front of this.

He can only give the offer to Xiao Ming.

Shi Senming was incredulous when he heard the amount of the contract, he confirmed it several times, and then stayed in his room and fell into deep thought.

He swayed between Uzi and Jack, RNG and YM.

YM people just made the reason clear, and did not force them to persuade again, they were afraid that if they didn't persuade them back in the end, they would hurt their feelings.

They are not Shi Senming himself, and they have no way to help him make a choice, nor can they bear the consequences of his choice for him.

In the golden age of esports pros, how many people could say no to such a premium contract?

Xiao Ming finally chose to leave and went to RNG to follow Uzi, forming another pair of bottom lane combinations.

Guo Hao drew up a contract renewal after signing the BMW sponsorship.

Although Guo Hao wanted to approve their treatment according to the external price, the four of YM discussed it and chose to make a slight concession to leave a certain amount of financial space for the club.

Lin Ran finally signed a two-year 1.8KW contract, and the decision of the live broadcast contract was up to him.

Jack is 1.45KW for two years, Xiaotian and Jin Gong are both 1.1KW for two years, and the live broadcast contracts of the three are locked in the hands of YM.

The signing fee will be deducted from the tax and paid to their respective bank cards one month after the contract is signed.

On the second day after the end of the German Cup, the All-Star Game voting opened, and the audience voted independently, and the outer division also accounted for 20% of the vote, with one person from each of the five positions participating, and no more than two candidates from each team participating in the All-Star.

Lin Ran and YM used the Weibo that had accumulated dust to canvass for Jingong on it.

They know that in this all-star game, the mid-laner is almost set to Lin Ran, and the jungler must be the factory director - whether it is a true fan or a black fan, they want him to go to the all-star, but the latter wants to see the blind monk of the factory director being revived.

AD Uzi's prestige in the country has been brushed up, and there is no suspense; Support slots continue to be dominated by Uzi fans, and basically whichever support they want to be on will be elected.

Xiao Ming has not officially announced his departure from the team yet, and without the help of Uzi fans, the next road will only be one of Mata and Meiko, and it will not be Xiao Ming's turn.

A team can go to a maximum of two people, and YM decided to concentrate the rest of the votes on Kim Gong.

With the help of everyone, Jin Gong's final votes were almost the same as that of Looper, and he won the contest by a narrow lead.

Lin Ran's vote rate once exceeded 78%, which means that for every 100 viewers who voted for the all-star lineup, 78 people chose Lin Ran as the middle unit.

This is a very scary statistic, second only to LCKfaker's 81% vote.

The dust of the week's voting was settled, and Jin Gong, the factory director, Lin Ran, Uzi and mata represented the LPL in the 2016 All-Star.

Lin Ran, who didn't want to go, couldn't bear to let Jin Gong go to a foreign country to compete alone, and planned to take Brother Hao to Spain together.
