Early the next morning, the two YM teams packed their bags and headed for Wuhan.

Lin Ran wore headphones and talked and laughed with his teammates along the way, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Everyone just finished playing S6, and they didn't take the German Cup to heart, so they can win if they can, and it doesn't matter if they lose.

The players of the second team are obviously a lot more serious, and they failed to get a place in the LPL this summer, so it is impossible to say that there is no pressure.

They trained for a week in advance to prove themselves in the German Cup.

Brother Hao didn't follow, he still stayed in Shanghai to deal with BMW's sponsorship, the coach of the second team is also a hairy boy in his early twenties, and today the two teams of YM are simply in charge of Hanyi and the chief analyst who are about to leave.

When she arrived at the airport, Su Cheng had just gotten off the taxi, she put on a black sweatshirt and jeans, carried a backpack, carried a bag in one hand, and pushed a small suitcase in the other.

Lin Ran took her suitcase, "Aren't you cold wearing these?" ”

Last night, there was a drizzling rain, all say that an autumn rain and a cold, and now the temperature in Shanghai in the early morning has approached single digits.

"Do you want me to lend you my coat?"

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing, "Lin Ran, you haven't seen any female frequency routines in the past two months, I'm an idiot in life, I don't know how to add clothes when it's cold?" ”

"My dress looks thin, but it's actually quite warm," Su Cheng handed him the bag in his hand, "You said you didn't eat breakfast when you got in the car?" I bought a raw pan-fried. ”

Lin Ran stuffed food into his mouth as he walked towards the airport gate.

"Good fragrance ......" Behind him, Jack followed, and his big head AD hair hadn't been cut for a long time, and it looked like he was wearing a third-level head, "Sister Su is early, long time no see." ”

"Good morning, Jack." Su Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes crooked.

"Is it fragrant?" Xiaotian passed by with a big box and glanced at it, "I smell the sour smell from afar." ”

"Brother Han has something to eat," he caught up with the coach, "Hurry up, I'm going to starve to death!" ”

"I'm not Guo Hao, where can I find you something to eat?" Han Yi is obviously not as well prepared as his male mother Guo Hao, he rarely gets up early, and now he is also hungry, "Let's board the plane first." ”

It was already noon when everyone landed in Wuhan, and the event party provided a bus to take them all to the hotel.

Time is running out, and they have a game to play tomorrow morning, against IM, who finished third in Group A of the Summer Tournament and was also promoted from the LSPL at the time.

In the afternoon, the members of the first team can move freely, and there is a pre-game meeting in the evening.

Several teammates ran to Optics Valley Pedestrian Street to play, and Lin Ran was a little tired and stayed in his girlfriend's room to rest.

Su Cheng sat at the desk, the pen in his hand turned quickly, and his eyes were glued to the laptop screen.

She is also reviewing the video of the IM Summer Tournament, although many members of the YM first team do not attach importance to this cup competition, but Su Cheng is different.

She cherishes this hard-won opportunity and plans to make some contributions to the team.

Lin Ran was lying in bed and scrolling through the news, and he realized that the voting window for the All-Star Game was about to open next Monday.

Many players in the WeChat circle of friends are already canvassing for votes, many of them have not gone to the World Championships, and the whole offseason is very long, and they will naturally not let go of this good opportunity to gain exposure when they have enough rest.

Lin Ran didn't really want to go, he posted a circle of friends by himself.

[All-stars, please vote for other LPL mid-laner players, more leaks and more leaks.] 】

After posting the circle of friends, he threw away his mobile phone, and looked at Su Cheng's thin back of working hard, her pencil turning skills were quite strong, and the black signature pen was clamped in her hand and never dropped.

The quiet room made Lin Ran's brain gradually relax, and he wanted to catch up on sleep for a while.

was about to fall asleep, and the mobile phone next to him suddenly began to vibrate.

Lin Ran woke up in shock, it was Brother Hao who called.

He thought it was the Circle of Friends he had just sent out that caused trouble, and hurriedly picked it up.

Through the earpiece, Lin Ran could sense Brother Hao's excitement, "Lin Ran, can we talk about the renewal now?" ”

Lin Ran glanced at Su Cheng, who was still lying in front of the computer and picking up the video, and ran to the balcony to close the door.

"BMW's sponsorship contract will be signed next Monday, and the funds on the books will be in place soon." Guo Hao's voice was slightly hoarse.

"Let's be honest and honest, I've never been involved in those vain things." He coughed and continued.

"There are a lot of clubs out there that are in contact with us these days, and it's not a secret, most of the teams give you an annual salary of around eight figures, and the highest ones are the Snakes and NB, and they are willing to pay 1200W to sign you."

Lin Ran has always abided by the rules, as long as the contract has not expired, he will not contact other clubs.

He didn't try the water in the free market, he originally thought that next year's salary would be a few million before taxes, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

He once again used the house to measure his worth, Suzhou's top lakeside four-season single-family villa at this time only needs 2500W, and his two-year salary can buy it.

"We plan to give you a two-year contract, with a total of 2.2KW plus a signing fee of 400W, unlike other clubs, we still want to keep the live broadcast contract in your own hands, but the personal advertisement will be shared with the club."

To be honest, Guo Hao's conditions are not lower than those of other clubs, and the live broadcast contract alone can bring Lin Ran millions of income a year.

"You still have to pay a signing fee?"

"International practice...... Guo Hao said on the other side, many clubs will pay players and agents a lot of signing fees in order to promote contracts, and pay money when they sign the contract, which is not included in the salary.

"Did you talk to the other team members?" Lin Ran didn't agree first, but asked Guo Hao.

Guo Hao knew what was going on in his heart.

He is worried that the YM next year's champion will leave the team in large numbers, resulting in poor results.

Now Lin Ran has two trophies in S6 and FMVP in his debut year, and he will definitely want to continue his strong performance in the coming year.

He's nowhere near the end of his career, and it's time to chase results, and it's a fool to ignore the team's configuration just to make money.

"I'm going to make your renewal intentions this weekend." Guo Hao is now speaking with great confidence, and it seems that BMW has given a lot of money.

"That Cheng ......" Lin Ran thought for a moment, "If I can keep enough team members, it doesn't matter if I reduce my salary." ”

He was very good at calculating.

In the e-sports industry, as long as the team has achievements, it is not a problem for individuals to get millions of prize money a year, and there is also an increase in exposure and popularity, which are all invisible values attached to players.

It is no exaggeration to say that if YM can maintain the current lineup, it doesn't matter if Lin Ran takes a 13-year salary cut to stay in the team, after all, it is chilling to win the championship in a group.

"No problem," Guo Hao heard this as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, "Don't worry!" ”

Although he left enough budget for Lin Ran, Lin Ran's willingness to make concessions was undoubtedly an expression of trust in himself.

Where to find such a player?

Guo Hao led the team in LSPL for a year before, and those players all asked for high salaries, eager to approach the LPL salary level.

There are very few star players who are willing to take the initiative to reduce their salaries.

Guo Hao then changed his words, "What's going on with that circle of friends?" You don't have to canvass this year, the unit in the All-Star LPL must be yours, you have to give up such a good opportunity? ”

"That...... It's so tiring. Lin Ran's tone was tactful.

"All-stars are just going to play, you just think it's a trip, if nothing else, Jin Gong should also go, and the two of you can be companions when the time comes."

"Let's talk about it then, maybe it's a broiler or Wei Shen." Lin Ran's subjective wishes really don't want to go, mainly because this year's All-Star is held in Spain, and the long-distance round trip is too tiring, so it doesn't matter if he runs it in China.

Guo Hao didn't persuade him again.

"Also, you have been watching Jack for the past two days, don't let him eat that messy stuff, I've reminded him several times, and he's thinking about that instant noodle all day long......" he babbled before hanging up the phone.

With this phone call, Lin Ran's previous turmoil due to the departure of the management finally stabilized.

……

After dinner, in the training room.

"Everyone is familiar with the IM players, and there are relatively few individual characteristics that I can analyze in addition, but I found that they started very regularly in the second half of the summer season."

The map of the Summoner's Canyon was still hanging on the whiteboard, and Su Cheng was holding a marker pen and drawing on it.

"In addition to the most familiar defensive start and late game tactics, IM also likes to change the field at the beginning, and after forcibly invading the second half of the field, he will play very fiercely in the lower lane, and frequently change blood and skills."

Su Cheng snapped and put the magnet in the center of the map, "Their starting mid-laner Athena Summer Tournament will use heroes like Rock Sparrow, Ice Girl, and Karma who can grab the right to the line in the early stage, quickly push the line at the third level, and use the artillery riders of the third wave of the line to contain the opponent's mid-laner on the line, and then go to the lower lane to support." ”

"As mentioned before, IM forcibly changed the wild area at the beginning, and their jungler would brush three groups of wild monsters at this time, and they would meet with the mid laner and run to the bottom lane in 3 minutes."

YM hadn't fought with IM for half a year, and he didn't know much about their tactics, so he reacted immediately after listening to Su Cheng's words.

"Isn't this what we're best at, 4 packs of 2?" Jack slapped his thigh.

Su Cheng nodded, "It's 4 packs of 2, but it's faster and earlier than our start time, this version teleports to land in 4.5 seconds, and they can kill the lower road before landing in the upper middle and then leave." ”

Lin Ran raised his hand, "Won't I solve the problem by crushing that Athena to death?" ”

Su Cheng waved his hand, "No, no, no...... I want you to make a calculation.,If you find out that IM is going according to this script in the early stage.,I'd rather you change the wild area and brush off the three groups of wild monsters and immediately go back to the city to catch up.,I've opened a custom calculation.,You don't eat double BUFF and only brush a single wild area speed three.,The time just came in time to arrive.。 ”

Before the game, they discussed it, and let Xiao Tiangao, who was exhausted after playing the World Championship, hang up the free card and send Ning to play this BO5.

Xiao Tian was lying on the sofa at this time, closing his eyes and recuperating, and walked very peacefully.

Lin Ran was quite jealous, he had been playing at high intensity for a whole year, and now he also wanted to rest.

Damn, why didn't you have a substitute?

Ning nodded again and again when he heard Su Cheng's words, he seemed very energetic, he had already made up his mind not to renew his contract during the transfer period.

He didn't play a single game in the entire World Championship, and in the end he couldn't even mix the skin, and Ning himself knew that there were several players younger than him who were pressing, and he had no chance of getting ahead.

He took the initiative to ask to start this German Cup, just to show brightly, and wait for the transfer period to open to sign a starting contract with other teams.

YM Don't say anything else, there is a hand in humanized management, and Hanyi, who has always been serious, is estimated to be a little sorry for S6 for not letting Ning play, so he simply gave him a chance to get a contract.

The game is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. the next morning, and YM everyone arrived at the Wuhan Sports Center at 8 a.m. to prepare.

Xiaotian didn't come at all, huddled in the hotel room to make up for it, and waited for Sunday to attend the annual awards ceremony. 56

And Jack and Xiao Ming yawn constantly when they put on makeup, and waking up early is simply torture for the biological clock of most professional players.

Lin Ran was in high spirits and in full condition.

"Brother Ran, didn't you say you were tired yesterday?" Jack swiped the sticker and yawned again.

"No way, the visual stimulation is too deadly." Lin Ran muttered.

"What's that?" Ning didn't react, his makeup time was the longest in the team, and the makeup artist had to make him look less dark, and the texture of his skin had to be pulled up a layer.

Lin Ran shook his head and said nothing.

The door of the dressing room was pushed open, and Su Cheng walked in with a coffee takeaway.

“…… Sister Su is so beautiful today. Jack took the drink, looked up at Su Cheng, and immediately praised.

"Really?" Su Cheng looked down at what he was wearing, "Lin Ran just said that I didn't feel that way when I wore this dress." ”

She wears a dark gray business suit and low-heeled leather shoes, her long black hair is combed behind her ears, and the suit sets off her fair complexion, slender legs, and a tall figure.

"You're not on stage again, what are you doing wearing this?" Lin Ran snorted, his cheeks flushed, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Su Cheng, he was afraid that his mind would be filled with the yellow waste of role-playing again.

"Officially, I see that our analysts also wore suits before." Su Cheng laughed.

"He's an old man, and it doesn't matter what the analysts of the other teams wear." Ning said with a big grin.

The old man had just gone outside to make a pot of wolfberry hot tea, and when he came back, he just heard this sentence, and he almost couldn't help but splash hot water on Ning's face.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the German Cup was unveiled on time.

"Let's welcome the 2016 LPL Summer Champion and 2016 World Championship Champion YM to play!" The host Ren Dong has a loud voice.

The YM fans in the audience were huge, and every YM member would let out a deafening cheer when they were introduced, and from time to time there were fans who let out a dolphin scream.

One year after its establishment, a sub-league championship, a top league championship plus the world finals champion, YM with three crowns is now the largest traffic team in LPL, and many viewers buy tickets to enter the stadium just to watch YM's games live.

When the IM was introduced, the cheers on the scene instantly dropped an octave, and the comparison between the two made the IM crowd quite embarrassed.

They engage in late-stage operations to play bladder wars in the summer season, which is the most unlikable to the audience, except for the operation masters SKT and Samsung, who will go to watch a team game with a single-digit number of heads in 40 minutes?

Jack ran back to the bench and said, "It's a bit of a bit of a taste when we first entered the LPL and faced RNG. ”

"Time has passed, and it ......," Lin Ran sighed.

"Na Na Na!" Xiao Ming answered, and was about to start the two-dimensional quotation again, when he was slapped on the back of the head by Han Yi.

The version used in the German Cup is 6.21, compared with 6.18 in the finals, the strength of the male gun and the leopard woman is weakened, but it does not cut the main artery, and the two wild core heroes are still the overlords of the wild area.

The BP of both sides is quite conventional, basically continuing the idea of the S6 finals.

In the first small game, the blue side YM: top laner Bobby, jungler blind monk, mid laner Ruiz, bottom lane Ember and Zyra.

Red IM: Top Single Troll, Jungler Spider, Middle Single Rock Sparrow, Bottom Lane Policewoman and Nami.

The YM cheering sound was repeated several times, accompanied by the deafening cheers of the scene, and the large screen of the scene loaded into the Summoner's Canyon.

"IM wants to use the strength of rock sparrows and spiders to do a first-level invasion!" Today's commentary is Ze Yuan and remember, and the two partners have a tacit understanding.

"YM retreated very decisively, and Ning rushed to the upper half of IM to change the BUFF alone."

"AJ doesn't plan to stop it, let Ning eat this red buff," Ze Yuan always paid attention to the minimap, "But the next road is so fierce, the golden horn has been replaced with residual blood!" ”

"The details of IM's lower road are not handled in place, Jack and Ming set fire targets very quickly, and a set of skills will disable the policewoman!"

"I'll go back to the city, you guys will wait for me on the way!" Ning Yue was eager to try.

At present, everything is going according to Su Cheng's script, and Ning doesn't need to use his brain at all.

He ate the three groups of wild monsters in the upper half of the IM and rose to 3, and immediately returned to the city on the spot, bought a long sword and a true eye, and ran down the road.

"The rock sparrow is gone, you pay attention." Lin Ran picked up the paper cup and took a sip of coffee while replenishing the troops.

"When they cross the tower, my skills will definitely be pinched to death." Xiao Ming didn't shake his hands when he returned to China after winning the S championship, his thinking was clear, and he was quite confident in fighting.

After all, I played 5 rounds with S6's strongest lower lane wolf stick combination, and I don't know where it is higher than IM's lower lane, how can there be pressure?

"The IM spider brushed off its own blue BUFF to 3 and leaned down, and Athena's rock sparrow also got into the YM wild area and rushed to the bottom road...... They are going to play 4 packs of 2 in 3 minutes! ”

But Ning had already sensed the danger in advance, and he changed the wild area and rushed directly to the second tower of the lower road to squat! What kind of consciousness is this! "I remember feeling like a doll now, and the voice was quite pompous.

The audience saw the blind monk squatting in the closed grass of the lower second tower, and exclaimed in disbelief.

Athena's rock sparrow accelerates with the help of the wall, and has arrived at the YM gargoyle camp, where she has joined the spider and is ready to attack the next road! IM Nami took the lead and Q [Blue Wave Prison] threw out.

Xiao Ming wanted to twist out of position at first, but then realized that he had to be dedicated as an actor, and his acting skills must be realistic and in place, so he twisted and hit a blister.

Jin Jiao was stunned for a moment, not understanding Xiao Ming's position, but he didn't have time to think about it when time was pressing, so he hurriedly called for the jungle to cross the tower, and at the same time the clip cloth was placed at Xiao Ming's feet.

Jack treats Nami before she ignites and hangs up, making sure the healing is full.

The spider takes the lead against the tower, and the rock finch begins to output.

Ning walked out when he saw the blister hit Xiao Ming, and at this time, he flashed W to put a shield on Zyra, and the day after tomorrow the sonic wave hit the spider of the anti-tower!

"This is a reverse squat from Ning! Hit the IM four people one by surprise! ”

"The shield provided by Ning and Jack's healing allowed Xiao Ming to release all his skills before he died, and it was difficult for IM to run!"

The spider handed over the flying air and was burned to death by Xiao Ming's ignition, while the rock finch was glued all the way by Ning with the red BUFF.

Jack's deadly brilliance forced the rock sparrow to flash, and Ning kept chasing after it until the second Sky Sonic cooled down and hit the rock sparrow accurately.

He also paused cautiously on the spot, and after tricking out the rock sparrow's W [Rock Burst] with his touching eye, he only followed up with the second stage of echo attack and killed it.

The cheers of the audience broke out instantly, and YM lived up to expectations and got the advantage at the beginning!

"One for two, IM Nakano died, this wave sent away the spider double BUFF, it's a blood loss!" Ze Yuan was full of passion, "At the same time, Ran in the middle took the opportunity to push a large wave of troops into the tower, and the rock sparrow is about to explode!" ”

"YM substitute Ye Ning proved his strength in the first three minutes, his sense of smell is too sensitive, this wave he guessed in advance that IM was going to play 4 packs of 2, and even before the rock bird pushed the line, the blind monk had already returned to the city and ran down!" Remember not believing it.

"Including the two heavenly sound waves, it is also extremely accurate, and it is full of details when killing rock sparrows!" The commentator shook his head again and again, "Is YM's bench jungler strength so terrifying?" ”

The broadcast camera suddenly switches, giving a full-screen close-up of the YM team lounge.

The members of the second team of YM also sat here to watch the game, and they filled the lounge, but the audience still spotted Su Cheng standing in the front row.

After Ning successfully squatted and killed the two, Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and clapped his hands with Han Yi and the analysts on the side to celebrate.

[There is a woman? Something is wrong with the Brotherhood! 】

[Is it a team manager?] It looks so beautiful, I'm in love! 】

[The manager is a male mother Guo Hao, who showed his face when he won the championship. 】

[I want to get to know you for information. 】

[Get out, this is my wife!] 】

The barrage in the live broadcast room is quite real, and sometimes they even have to discuss the female referee behind the contestants, not to mention Su Cheng, who is now wearing a suit and has a good face.

At this time, the broilers who came to participate in the annual awards ceremony were also offstage, and the IG Summer Tournament was the fourth in Group A, so there was no way to participate in the German Cup, so they could only come here to watch the game for free.

Su Xiaoluo, the manager of the IGLOL branch on the side, said, "This jungler awareness is very good, and the operation is also passable." ”

"It's okay, I realize it's a bit powerful," after two years in the LPL, the broiler's Chinese accent is getting weaker and weaker, "but it may be that the tactical arrangement of coaches and analysts has seen through IM." ”

"That's not bad, we are short of a jungler now, as long as we can listen to you in the game." Su Xiaoluo's meaning is very clear.

The broiler did not raise any objections.

After a whole season of vigorous substitutions and permutations to catch the ghosts, the IG management finally came to a unanimous conclusion: support and AD are both valuable, and both tabe and rain emperor have to be carried down.

They decided to switch to a new bottom lane – Marge and Megan.

Compared with tabe, the latter is quite quiet, and he usually doesn't participate in team decision-making when he plays training matches, and follows his teammates as a thug, but the operation is more reliable than the tabe who devoured the rain emperor and died with AD.

Marge is a high-scoring passerby in the national uniform, and his strength is not bad, about a Ding Emperor's level higher than the Rain Emperor, but he likes to spray people.

It's no one else, it's a broiler, or it's sprayed in Korean that I don't know where I learned it.

The good old man didn't know how he messed with him, and he put up with the yin and yang weirdness, but Marge confiscated his mother from the electric baton.

Who can withstand this?

The broiler immediately reported to the management and Principal Wang.

Principal Wang had nothing to say about the broiler, and he was also a great contributor to avoiding making himself the old eighth generation, and when he heard that someone in the club dared to spray the broiler, he didn't say a word and asked Marge to clean up his things and get out of the way.

There are few people on the lower road of IG now, and the management is thinking about letting the child return to the lower road, although 443 has a phobia of dogs, and the competition is also a soft-footed shrimp, but there is no problem with playing the regular season.

The Gemini star on the road has made it clear that he wants to leave IG, but Su Xiaoluo found a thousand-point Korean top order named TheShy from WE through the recommendation of the child Youshen.

He immediately used the auxiliary ben to exchange with WE, and asked for theshy by name, which was exactly what WE wanted.

WE's original support zero is old and needs a new support to take over.

And theshy is dispensable for WE, they have the top domestic top single 957, plus the lower two Korean aids, there is no place for Theshy to play at all.

Su Xiaoluo turned decay into magic and successfully revitalized the stagnant pool of IG.

Now there is a domestic jungler missing, Su Xiaoluo looked at Ning on the stage, if as expected, this jungler can be signed with 50W, which is extremely cheap.

As long as you sign ning, you may be able to mix up an S7 spot next season.

He suddenly felt that Max, who had the ability to draw cards, was simply an operational genius.

Which management company has my level?

Su Xiaoluo couldn't help but lean back.
