Chapter 111: How can there be a good gathering and dispersal?
The Genting Grand Final officially came to an end on 8 January, with the next event being the fifth season of the Abyss League, which starts in Croatia on 20 January. There was an interval of more than ten days between them, and the whole team of Serenity also chose to return to China to rest and recuperate before starting again.
"Great work, congratulations on winning another championship!"
When the members returned to the base, Luo Tianshen congratulated them, and held a celebration banquet, and called the whole team by the way.
Full of wine and food, Luo Tianshen, who returned to the base with Serenity, called Jing Zhun with a heavy face and muttered for a while, after the two talked, Luo Tianshen's face was a little pale, and he stopped the rhythm demon king alone, saying that he had something to discuss.
The team members, including Jing Zhun, were a little puzzled, but the Rhythm Demon King himself didn't seem surprised, and after answering, he followed Luo Tianshen to the administrative building opposite the base.
Looking at the Rhythm Demon King's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Luo Tianshen understood everything, sighed and said, "LGD also contacted you?" ”
"Uh......" The Rhythm Demon King was slightly stunned, then nodded silently.
LGD struggled after ti6, losing all the qualifiers for all competitions, and if it weren't for the fact that the clubs hadn't been in the groove at the beginning of the season, they probably wouldn't have even gotten the only chance to go abroad at the top of the league.
After suffering from a period of sluggishness, LGD's management finally made up their minds to rebuild the LGD team with Ame and May as the core. LGD and LFY are both LGD clubs, and the first step in the rebuilding was the internal adjustment of the two teams.
The original LGD No. 3 Jixing and No. 4 white were adjusted to the LFY team, and the No. 5 Victoria was adjusted to the No. 4 position. The original LFY's "team soul" yao returned to LGD and served as LGD's No. 5 position, while another meritorious veteran, xiao8, will announce his retirement after the LGD personnel adjustment is completed.
LGD gave Jixing a full half a year to prove himself, but Jixing didn't have a long memory, and he always dropped the chain in the game, becoming the weakest link in the LGD three cores, and the LGD management finally couldn't stand it and chose to send him down.
As a result, there is a vacancy in the number three position of LGD. After such a long period of downturn, what LGD needs now is not a talented newcomer who can grow slowly, but an experienced and powerful star player to lead LGD out of the predicament!
There are only three people who are eligible in China now - rOtK, and faith_bian one is the rhythm demon king. But for LGD, their options can even be narrowed even further!
rOtK had a not-so-pleasant experience with LGD after TI5, and LGD was skeptical of rOtK's ability and was quite unoptimistic about him, so this option could be ruled out first.
And faith_bian relationship with the ACE league is now like water and fire, and the league has clearly punished faith_bian's transfer in writing, how can LGD, as the league's flag club, slap itself in the face?
Therefore, there is only one person in LGD's target in the third position, which is the rhythm demon king. Although Serenity is also on the league's ban list, ACE has never made any explicit statements against the Rhythm Demon King himself, which is exactly an opportunity for LGD to take advantage of.
However, now Serenity's record is quite terrifying, and it is not easy to poach their three masters, and in order to achieve the goal, LGD has only one way - a big contract! A big contract that goes far beyond the Rhythm Demon King's treatment in Serenity!
While Serenity was still in Genting, LGD had already contacted Luo Tianshen and the Rhythm Demon King himself. These days, Luo Tianshen has been worried about this, and he is worried about affecting the team's performance, so he has been waiting for the rhythm demon king to come back and talk again. And the Rhythm Demon King, although he was professional, put into the game as much as he could, but he was inevitably affected by that big contract.
How big?
The bonus share is 5 percentage points lower, but there is almost three times the monthly salary.
Not only that, as a fully commercial esports club, Rhythm Demon King will also receive a lot of bonuses such as endorsement sharing after joining LGD.
Unless he wins the TI title at serenity, his current contract will earn far less than the new contract that LGD offers him. But there is still more than half a year before TI, and the experience of the Spring and Autumn overlord turning into Cordyceps is still there, who can guarantee that serenity will definitely win the TI championship?
"Are you going?" Luo Tianshen asked in a calm tone, unable to hear joy or anger.
The transfer of professional players is normal, even if they are poached and poached into their own bodies, Luo Tianshen does not feel any surprise. As he learned more about the Dota 2 circle, Luo Tianshen's heart became harder.
To put it more ruthlessly, the Serenity team, as long as Jing Zhun is still kept, then it doesn't matter who goes, it doesn't matter to Luo Tianshen!
Compared with other clubs, the basic salary of Serenity players is indeed much less, and the daily management is very strict, and there are many rules and regulations. But Luo Tianshen thinks that he has done a good job of protecting the players, at least the players who play in Serenity do not need to be distracted by things outside of the game, and can devote most of their energy to training and preparation.
The Rhythm Demon King didn't hesitate much, nodded when he heard Luo Tianshen's question, and replied in a dumb voice: "Well, I want to go to LGD." ”
After that, when the Rhythm Demon King pressed in his heart, it was like being moved away, and it was a lot easier.
Due to the particularity of the TI Invitational Tournament system, V Club currently does not have perfect regulations for the transfer of players in the season, and in extreme terms, as long as the list of TI team members has not been submitted, you can transfer as you want, and it will not have the slightest impact on TI. LGD's poaching behavior of privately contacting players during the competition seems to be legal and compliant.
And the rhythm demon king wants a big contract with LGD, which is also an understandable choice, after all, most of the e-sports players drop out of school early, and what they eat is just a bowl of youth rice, and the peak period is only a few years, and the risk is extremely high.
As for the so-called "lying to win" statement, he actually doesn't care. After getting along with Kyung Joon for so long, the Rhythm Demon King also knows very well that Kyung Joon is not a person who is proud of his merits and will not sacrifice the interests of the team for personal performance.
Just when the Rhythm Demon King was about to face the boss's anger, Luo Tianshen replied to him lightly: "Okay, I know." ”
Yes?
The Rhythm Demon King raised his head in some surprise, and saw Luo Tianshen explain to him with a sincere expression: "Since this matter has been raised, there is actually no room for recovery. To tell you the truth, it's not that I don't want to give you a better salary, but our team is independently funded, and my family is definitely not as strong as LGD's sponsors, right? ”
"Hmm!"
The Rhythm Demon King nodded approvingly, and Luo Tianshen continued: "Since you have already made it clear, and you have also made a decision, you will definitely not be able to stay." Rather than making the relationship so stiff, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of the recent events that don't have any major events, we also need to find a new member to replace you after you complete the transfer, you can understand? ”
"I ......" The Rhythm Demon King was a little moved by Luo Tianshen's calmness, and replied in a bit of a panic, "Thank you, boss, I'...... I'm sorry! ”
Luo Tianshen raised his eyebrows without a trace, and said with a warm smile: "It's okay, people go to high places, I also understand this." We'll deal with the transfer as soon as possible, so let's do it first. ”
"Okay, okay!"
After the Rhythm Demon King left, Luo Tianshen removed the smile on his face and snorted coldly.
Good to get together and disperse?
To hell with it! What if we can't find a suitable No. 3 position?!
Understanding is understanding, and anger is also true anger. If it weren't for the previous exchange with Kyung Joon, he would have scolded the Rhythm Demon King for being bloody.
"Kyung Joon, do you know a person whose ID is chalice who plays the third position?"
"I have the impression that the ladder has been encountered a few times, and the score should not be low."
"How's the level? Can you play professionally? ”
"Hmm...... I feel that his level is not bad, at least the heroes he played in those games have a professional level, and I don't know the rest. ”
"Oh...... That...... How about comparing with the old eleven? ”
"The level of operation is about the same, and there is no rhythm demon king on the line, but the overall situation is very good."
"Okay, I see, go ahead!"
"Okay, goodbye boss."
Luo Tianshen clicked on the email forwarded to him earlier by Forward, which was full of confident application for trials, stared at the ID of "Chalice" a little distracted, and said to himself: "I hope you are really as good as you say, Chalice......"
