TFO wins the Spring Tournament.

This is nothing short of an earthquake for the entire esports community.

And the major esports people firmly believe in the statement that "the regular season and the playoffs are two events".

BO3 and BO5 are so different.

The whole experience of TFO in the spring has been like a roller coaster, from the opening Tianhu to the stinky shot himself, to the subsequent return to the light and the continuous 180-degree extreme corners in the playoffs.

It is best to describe it as thrilling.

MSI places are available.

The TFO team soared to second place in the international EPSN rankings.

In the case that the starting mid laner did not play, only the rookies and the top laners of the inner sample advanced to MSI, and the comprehensive strength of TFO and the variability of their lineup made the rest of the teams in the world who got MSI places jealous.

This also includes South Korea's Orion team.

Team Orion won the LCK League Spring Championship and successfully advanced to MSI.

And their goals are naturally clear.

MSI Champion.

In the past, it is likely that domestic audiences still feel that it is unlikely that an international event like this with South Korea will win.

But this year is different.

Viewers on the Internet felt that this year's TFO might really have a chance to touch the MSI championship trophy.

A small stream of voices was upgraded to the expiration time of Levi's contract.

On a foreign website, there are detailed contract dates for the players of each club.

On the TFO side, there are two players whose contracts are about to expire.

The closest is Levi.

His contract expires on May 8.

On May 8th, according to MSI's schedule, the play-in tournament has just ended.

To be precise, the play-in tournament will end on May 7, and as a team in the LPL region, TFO does not need to participate in the play-in tournament, but can directly play the group stage that starts on the 10th.

From November 8 to May 8, the half-year period, exactly six months.

In addition, it is Wu Hao's contract.

Wu Hao signed the contract on the same day as Levi, but the expiration date of the previous contract between the two was different.

The expiration date of Wuhao's previous contract was May 19.

Therefore, Wu Hao can negotiate with the club to renew his contract after the end of MSI.

It's just that this kind of incident has not been taken to the hearts of fans at all, Li Wei is a veteran player, although it is a bit magical to renew the contract for only half a year at the end of last season, but from the start of the spring game, Zhang Zijie's performance and the subsequent growth of Zhang Zijie are not difficult for countless netizens to guess, it may be that the club really did not plan to renew the contract with Li Wei for too long at the beginning.

It's just that the team didn't work anymore, and I found that I still couldn't do without Levi.

It is only a matter of time before the contract is renewed, and at least before May 8, the official Weibo should announce the contract renewal.

It is enough for fans to be patient.

However, the time came to May 7 in the blink of an eye.

For most of the month from the end of the spring competition to May 7, Li Wei symbolically participated in the training match.

But it was because of the training match that Liu Mei and her teammates felt weird.

They feel ...... Levi's current strength seems to be a bit mysterious.

Let's say that he is strong, the effect of the training match is far worse than that of Zhang Zijie.

For this MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament, many clubs in the LPL that have been on vacation are still sending players to train against TFO.

Especially medium units.

But when Levi faces most of the mid-laner players, the line will be exploded.

That's right, it's blown up.

Levi even started to have problems with his basic skills.

But let's call him weak...... Levi has played no less than 10 incredible operations in training matches.

Falling behind one and a half pieces of equipment, and then counter-killing to the limit?

Either that...... Snatched five big dragons with five completely different mid-laner heroes?

The jungler in this training match is Kang Sir, and the rest of the junglers are on vacation.

He didn't have anything to do, and he also planned to contribute something to the LPL, so he came.

As a result, now Kang Sir is beginning to doubt himself.

Isn't he known as the Son of the Dragon?

Why is there a situation where the dragon is robbed by the mid-laner in a row now?

And this one who is going to die violently for a while, and like a master for a while, what is the situation?!

The real situation is known only to Levi.

His progress bar came to 27 percent.

Keep going at this pace...... Levi felt that it might take him a while to become proficient in the use of Absolute Zero and his physical condition.

MSI, even if he is in this state, he is dragging the team back.

And...... He didn't have a chance to go on either.

From the beginning, Levi would frequently follow the training matches, but later Levi took the initiative to propose to Liu Mei that he would not participate in the training matches for the time being, and his illness last time was greatly affected and needed to be adjusted.

In this regard, Liu Mei does not doubt him.

It's normal for players to have a dip in form.

Levi picked his feet at the World Championship last year, didn't he come over too?

So he didn't take it seriously.

Until, on the eve of the group stage of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational.

On this day, Li Wei received a notice from Li Tao.

The boss came and was going to talk to him.

The contract expires tomorrow.

There is no way to delay any longer.

Even if the club can turn a blind eye, Riot has reminded the TFO that any team that wants to sign a player needs to be reported.

Once a player's contract expires, they will not be allowed to participate in all of the team's events until they receive a new contract.

It makes sense.

Li Wei, who got the news, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to Li Tao: "I thought our boss was going to put this matter on hold forever." ”

"How so."

Li Tao didn't seem to be in a good mood today, and he led the way in front of Li Wei.

As he walked, Li Tao suddenly stopped: "You will renew the contract, right?" ”

Levi also stopped.

But Li Wei didn't speak, just glanced at Li Tao calmly: "Let's go." ”

……

In a conference room in a hotel.

Yao Youyi, the boss of TFO, sat on the boss chair at the front, the teacup in front of the table was steaming.

After hearing the knock on the door of the conference room, Yao Youyi raised his eyebrows: "Come in." ”

The door opens.

Seeing Li Wei and Li Tao, Yao Youyi smiled: "It's here." ”

"Boss."

Levi greeted with a smile on his face.

"Sit, the club has prepared a new contract for you, come and see."

Yao Youyi pushed a stack of papers on the table to Li Wei.

Levi didn't have any ink, so he picked up the document and read it.

In the process of watching, Li Tao has been observing Li Wei's expression.

But he found that Levi's expression did not change in the slightest.

Even...... His gaze didn't seem to be focused on the content.

Levi saw the contents.

It's a contract for coaching.

With this contract, Levi can get the position of "TFO Team 1 Head Coach".

You can get a good salary.

The amount of the salary is high.

But Levi didn't look at it at all.

He only saw ...... The TFO team is the head coach of the first team.

Coach.

The current TFO has only one head coach, and that is Liu Mei.

And there will only be one manager for every club.

Levi smiled.

Suddenly, he discovered a sad thing.

The club really treated him well.

Can...... Why does it make him feel sad?

"I want to continue playing professionally, even if it's a substitute."

Levi looked up.

He knew he was stupid when he asked.

But...... He still has to fight for it.

When Li Wei said this, Yao Youyi frowned: "Li Wei, your age is no longer a young man who doesn't know anything, according to the club's assessment when you participated in the training match recently, your strength has been affected by illness, and you can no longer reach the level of playing games, even in the youth training, it is very reluctant." ”

"Levi, sign it."

Li Tao also whispered comfort on the side.

Yao Youyi took a sip of steaming tea and said leisurely: "Levi, after the spring game, you have been playing in TFO for 4 years, and it can be said that you have dedicated your entire youth to TFO." ”

"This agreement is the club's greatest help to you, you have also seen it in terms of salary, I dare not say that your salary ranks first among all the coaches in the LPL, but it is definitely no problem to be in the forefront, and I am also very relieved of your professional ability."

"Also...... I also know what your concerns are, there are some accidents that you don't want to happen, and I don't want them to happen, but when this kind of thing really happens, someone must make sacrifices. ”

Li Wei put down the contract in his hand and gently pushed Yao Youyi.

"Boss, I understand what you said, but I can't sign this contract."

Levi said this in a resolute tone.

"It's not...... Levi, you ......"

Laugh at.

Li Tao was anxious, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Yao Youyi's sneer.

"Interesting, interesting, should I say that you are naïve and stupid, or should I praise you for being a principled person? Do you understand what it means if you don't sign this contract? ”

Although Yao Youyi was laughing, his smile was more like a sneer.

"I flew all the way to Ho Chi Minh City, do you think I'm here to play?!"

Bang!

In the end, Yao Youyi's voice suddenly rose, and even turned into a scolding.

……

The chat in the conference room broke up unhappily.

When Yao Youyi walked out of the conference room, there were only two people left in the empty room, Li Wei and Li Tao.

"Why don't you understand, alas."

Li Tao lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and sighed.

"I understand."

Li Wei smiled: "Brother Tao, if it were you, what would you do." ”

"I ......"

Li Tao was about to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated a little.

"Do you know that a person's greatest sorrow is his own problems, letting others take the blame, although this is already the norm in society, for the sake of interests, for survival, this seems to have become a common thing."

Li Wei sat on the boss's chair that Yao Youyi had sat on before, and after adjusting the back of the chair, the whole person lay on the chair.

Looking at the ceiling, Levi muttered to himself: "I know what the boss meant, the right to decide the players to play is in the hands of the coach, if TFO keeps winning until he wins the MSI championship, it's fine, but as long as they lose and I don't play, the pressure from public opinion and sponsors is unbearable for the club." ”

"You know you're still ......"

"So this pot, do you think it's fair for his career to lose it to Coach Liu?"

Li Wei smiled: "It has taken five years for Coach Liu to enter the team until now, even I, a member of the team who has nothing to do with youth training, know that the youth training has a very powerful and hard-working coach." ”

"Hammer, do you know he's not even by his name?"

Li Tao rolled his eyes.

"It's one thing to know, it's another thing to say it, you're really boring."

Li Wei glanced at Li Tao: "He is a person who really loves e-sports, this pot is on his back, and it is completely okay to stand in the position of the club, because the club will feel that my value is higher than that of Coach Liu." ”

"But...... Standing with me, it won't work. ”

"Besides, I didn't want to be a coach in the first place."

Levi stretched out his arms, hugged the spherical lamp on the roof of the hall, and muttered, "My goal, but the sea of stars." ”
