After Lin Fan went to the next broadcast.

Naturally, it is impossible not to really pay attention to the reviews of yourself and others.

As soon as the broadcast started, Lin Fan turned on his mobile phone and secretly logged in to another account, first went to his live broadcast room and watched the barrage discussion.

There is no doubt that all of them are brushing sorry, they are all misunderstandings.

And what to say about the earth-shattering reversal.

Lin Fan was a little relieved when he saw this.

Then there is Weibo, post it.

These two places are the main battlefield, and they are also the main places where most players eat melons.

Maybe it was Lin Fan's words that played a role when he was live broadcast before.

There is no need for Lin Fan to operate it himself, and now many people have forwarded Lin Fan's live broadcast video just now to these two places.

Including the screenshots of those chat logs at the top of the fish bar, as well as the videos that Lin Fan released later.

Tieba and Weibo's comments about Lin Fan's five people have gradually begun to get better.

Even if there are still people who are connected to the Internet, I don't know what happened, and they continue to follow the trend of Hei Lin Fan, and some people began to comment below him, asking him to watch Lin Fan's live broadcast replay.

All in all, now Lin Fan has completely made a beautiful turnaround.

Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief.

He really planned to play a good game and be done, and he never wanted to tear up with others.

But helplessly, everyone else has already on their heads, and if they don't resist, they really won't be men.

The other side.

Nonsense e-sports headquarters building.

At this moment, all the employees of the entire nonsense e-sports have lost and complicated expressions.

They were all in a hurry, and they talked to each other in low voices, lest a certain sentence anger the higher-ups.

Hu Bin returned to his office.

Then, as soon as possible, a group of employees from the information security department were called.

What splits the head and covers the face is a scolding.

The employees of the Information Security Department are stupid, they have always been treated as treasures by Hu Bin, and they have never seen their boss so angry.

Now there are even swear words in Hu Bin's mouth.

"What's going on?"

"I ask you what's going on?"

"How did these screenshots of chat logs and surveillance videos get their hands on them?"

The people in the information security department looked at each other.

They also heard something in Hu Bin's words.

Inner ghosts.

It seems that only the inner ghost can collect such detailed information and send it to Lin Fan.

At this moment, a young man in a black T-shirt and dressed in a middle two atmosphere spoke.

"Brother Hu, I will thoroughly check everyone's computers and mobile phones in our house later, and if there is a ghost, I will report it to you as soon as possible."

"However, I prefer that we were hacked into the network by a hacker with a very good technology, and when I checked the firewall yesterday, I found that there were traces of intrusion and blocking."

This person's name is Wang Yao, a genius-level hacker, and he was also invited by Hu Bin to be the head of the Information Security Department.

Wang Yao was also surprised and puzzled at this time.

After all, he couldn't figure out who had the ability to steal the confidential information of the entire department under his nose.

"Wang Yao, the salary I give you every year is close to 10 million, I just fancy your ability, you said that if you can seal all my secrets, no one will know."

"You also said that your current strength, looking at Huaxia, is also the first, so what's going on, is it still a foreign super hacker who wants to target me?"

was reminded by Hu Bin.

Wang Yao suddenly had some clues.

First of all, there is no motive for foreign hackers to steal screenshots and surveillance videos of these transactions of nonsense e-sports, because hackers who can do this, why not directly turn the boss Hu Bin's family upside down, and then extort in turn.

So it is basically certain that it was done by a hacker in China who did not seek money or life, but whose strength far exceeded his own.

Does such a person exist?

The next moment, Wang Yao's complexion changed suddenly.

Then, he whispered a name.

"Shadow."

Hu Bin frowned: "What shadow?" ”

Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, and then said with difficulty: "I didn't have long been in the industry at that time, and with my talent, I also became an internal member of the entire Huaxia Hacker Alliance, ranking 14th."

"At that time, the number one was a person codenamed 'Phantom', and no one in the alliance knew the true identity of Phantom, only that he had a good way to do it, and even in the battle against the world's top hackers, he never tasted defeat."

"His record includes the successful invasion of several national information security departments, including the Lighthouse State and Goryeo and Dongying, and even relevant practitioners around the world at that time were frantically discussing his name."

"The Phantom's specialty is to be able to complete the invasion unknowingly, and experts around the world said that in this world, there is no firewall that can block the Phantom!"

"Then, I don't know what happened, three years ago, the Phantom quit the Hacker Alliance, disappeared, and never appeared again."

"Uh, Brother Hu, I'm not sure it's him, but I think I can hide from it, and my intuition tells me it's this ghost......"

After Hu Bin listened to Wang Yao's narration.

Leaning back in his chair, his fingers pinching his eyebrows.

It's like thinking about something.

After a long time, Hu Bin opened his eyes and waved his hand: "You all go." ”

Wang Yao nodded, took everyone under his hands, and walked away.

Hu Bin sat on the chair, he was a little stunned.

Because of Lin Fan's words before, the first object of his suspicion was naturally Chen Wenhan.

But now after listening to Wang Yao's explanation.

Hu Bin vetoed this.

Chen Wenhan doesn't have this ability.

And if he had a backbone and was a person with a deep city, he would not have been backstabbed by his subordinate Liao Donglai.

Therefore, on Lin Fan's side, there is also a super hacker hidden in the shadows.

The information war has basically been determined that it is impossible to take effect against Lin Fan and the five people.

In front of him, Hu Bin himself didn't know how to end it.

It's really a splash of water, but it makes a commotion!

Ding dong~

At this moment, Hu Bin's mobile phone on the desktop rang.

Hu Bin took his mobile phone and received a message.

"Look at the stupid things you've done."

"Now the chairman of the organizing committee has made the final decision, the rating of your TG will be lowered, the internal appointment will be cancelled, and then the qualification evaluation of Lin Fan's team will be revoked."

"After seven days, you'll be bidding together."

"I want to remind you that there is an upper limit on the price of LPL qualification bidding, once you and Lin Fan both reach the upper limit."

"Then you might have to play a BO5 to decide who is in the final cut."

"There should be a coach left on their team's side, I have seen his recruitment news, I can only help you stop all the resumes that are interested in joining their team, and the rest depends on you."

After Hu Bin saw this news.

Some collapsed weakly in their chairs.

He took off his glasses, wiped them, and recalled Lin Fan's previous words in his ears.

"Scared?"

"I'm going to be afraid of your bung of mongrels?"

Hu Bin's face was hideous, anyway, it's all come to this point, then touch it!

Hu Bin really doesn't think that he has carefully selected so many well-known players.

Then he signed a super popular player like Nuguri, and his team will lose!

……

6 days.

It's going to be fast.

The renovation of the base of VE has been completed.

The second floor has also been converted into a decent training room.

The base is very large, and some aunts who are engaged in hygiene and cooking are also needed.

But Lin Fan didn't invite in the end.

Because this time, the little brother brought by Qi Dongqiang was all the people who helped him in the hotel before.

So these chores can be handed over to the younger brother.

Lin Fan's villa this time was too big.

These little brothers had more than enough to stay in the few vacant rooms on the fourth floor.

But Lin Fan was still a little troubled.

Lin Fan has already received a notice from the LPL official to ask him to go to the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center Hall in the magic capital tomorrow to participate in the public bidding.

And required all members of Lin Fan's team to be present, at that time, the end of the bidding does not mean that Lin Fan has officially entered the LPL.

The relevant qualification review will also be carried out simultaneously.

And PDD's side also gave Lin Fan internal information.

That is, they have a great chance of TG on Hu Bin's side, and they have to play a BO5, and the final winner will advance to the LPL main stage this season.

But Lin Fan's current VE team is still short of one person......

Instructor!

These six days.

Lin Fan has even done a good job, as long as someone comes to apply for the job and has relevant qualification certificates, then Lin Fan doesn't care whether he is a pheasant coach or not, whether he has experience or not.

will ask him directly.

But—

No!

For six days, not a single resume was thrown to him.

It's not because there are so few coaches.

In fact, the entire e-sports-related industry has begun to take shape in China, even if it is not as mature as in Korea, but the relevant system has been basically established.

Famous coaches like BSYY, War Horse, and Brother Chicken Soup are of course all competing for the existence of LPL teams, but many coaches in youth training are unemployed.

As long as these unemployed people send Lin Fan a resume, Lin Fan will probably ask for it without hesitation.

But it just doesn't.

Lin Fan is not stupid.

knew that this should be Hu Bin's gang again, deliberately disgusting him.

But Lin Fan was really a little helpless about this last level.

Seeing that today was about to pass, and the time before the end was getting shorter and shorter, Lin Fan was also anxious.

However, at the last moment, Lin Fan suddenly remembered someone.

Lin Fan turned on his phone and flipped through the call records.

I found a sudden strange call on that morning seven or eight days ago.

Then I dialed back.

Soon, the phone was picked up, and Chen Wenhan's voice came from the other side: "Hey, who are you?" ”

Lin Fan: "I'm Lin Fan, the two of us had a conversation on the phone a few days ago, before you said that you used to be the former director of the planning department of Nonsense E-sports, and the assistant coach of the TG youth team, right?" ”

"Have you found a new home now?"

Chen Wenhan smiled bitterly: "I didn't find it, and the managers of those youth teams turned me away directly after seeing my experience in e-sports in my resume." ”

"Speaking of which, I'm really shooting myself in the foot!"

"I lost all the things I made a living for, and maybe I will have to go into the factory to make screws in a few days."

There is no lack of self-deprecation in Chen Wenhan's words.

Of course, Lin Fan also heard the slightest hint of complaint in his words.

After all, if he hadn't waded into the troubled waters of the five of himself and hadn't made that apologetic call to Lin Fan, he wouldn't have been able to find a job after being fired.

Lin Fan looked at the surveillance footage selected by Xu Sheng, and also knew that Chen Wenhan had a conscience, and at the last moment, he also spoke for himself and others.

So now Lin Fan's opinion of this person has changed a little.

"Let me ask you, a few days ago, at the press conference of TG, the reporter who asked questions inexplicably, is it the person you invited?"

Chen Wenhan was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "It's not invited, it's a friend in my industry, I told him some news related to you, he should investigate you and your team, and then find a hot spot on the spot to ask questions." ”

"It's just a casual remark, and it's good to be able to help you."

Lin Fan is on hands-free.

Chen Wenhan's answer was also clearly heard by the other four.

Lin Fan looked at the other people's expressions inquiringly.

After seeing the others nodding lightly, Lin Fan knew that the four of them now basically forgave Chen Wenhan for what he had done before.

Now Chen Wenhan is no longer a person who talks nonsense about e-sports.

Lin Fan lacks another coach, isn't this a coincidence!

"Then if Coach Chen hasn't found a home yet, then do you think about the position of head coach on our VE side?"

Lin Fan threw out an olive branch.

Chen Wenhan was a little surprised, and on the other end of the phone, there was an obvious pause, and then Chen Wenhan's words came: "Do you want me?" ”

Lin Fan smiled: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, can you come?" ”

Chen Wenhan was a little flattered, after all, he is now the first fan of the VE team, and he is still a black fan.

Being able to coach a team of your choice should be the dream of most people in the industry.

"I'm coming!"

Chen Wenhan didn't hesitate too much and immediately agreed.

Lin Fan's side, when he saw that Chen Wenhan agreed, his heart was also a big stone on the ground.

Everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow!

……

December 1.

The weather is gradually entering winter, and there are hardly sunny times in the winter of the magic capital.

Mostly rainy weather.

Today was no exception, early in the morning, it started to drizzle.

When it was almost 9 o'clock, Lin Fan and the five of them drove to the main venue of LPL's magic capital, Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center.

When I came to the entrance of the huge performing arts center, there were official staff of LPL, doing guidance work at the door.

After entering the venue, Lin Fan was led by a staff member to a conference hall in the backyard.

The entire performing arts center occupies a large area.

When passing by the main stage and seeing the battle area on both sides of the stage, Qi Dongqiang shouted.

Xu Sheng was also excited.

The young man's temperament naturally has countless longings for the place he has longed for for a long time, and now that he sees it, he is naturally looking forward to it.

It's close.

It's close!

They are only one step away from the LPL.

After being invited to the conference hall.

Because of the reason that they came earlier, Lin Fan and the five didn't see too many people.

But Hu Bin, Liao Donglai, and Nuguri, who appeared on the stage at that time, were already sitting in a corner of the conference room.

At the same time, there was a tall middle-aged man with a slightly white temples and a kind face, standing in front of Hu Bin and the others, saying something.

There was still a person standing beside him, and his figure was only slightly behind, looking like a middle-aged man whose status was second only to the front.

Behind these two people, there are also a group of people wearing the official uniforms of the Ace League on standby.

"Chairman, Team VE has arrived."

Suddenly, the man next to the middle-aged man at the head whispered.

The middle-aged man turned around and looked, then said a few words to Hu Bin and the others, and strode towards Lin Fan.

When he walked up to Lin Fan, Lin Fan took the initiative to get up.

The middle-aged man smiled, stretched out his right hand, and introduced himself: "Liu Deyi, chairman of the ACE Alliance, chairman of the LPL official event organizing committee. ”

After Liu Deyi finished shaking hands, the person behind him also stretched out his hand to Lin Fan: "Ding Kai, vice chairman of the ACE League, vice chairman of the LPL Official Event Organizing Committee." ”

Lin Fan shook hands one by one, and then introduced himself as well: "Lin Fan, the captain of the VE team, is also the boss at present. ”

The smile on Liu Deyi's face gradually unfolded, and he said with a smile: "Xiaolin, my granddaughter likes to watch your live broadcast very much, and she talks about your 179 consecutive wins in my ear every day, hahaha!" ”

"Young man, I am very glad that you were able to withstand the huge pressure and come to the scene today, and at the same time, I also congratulate you on seeing the light through the clouds!"

"We welcome people who truly love esports to join us!"

Lin Fan could hear Liu Deyi's expectations and hopes for himself in his words.

Still somewhat flattered.

Thank you repeatedly.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, the staff behind Liu Deyi also reminded him that now that more and more people were present at the venue, he couldn't spend too much time here at Lin Fan.

In fact, Lin Fan had already discovered that Hu Bin and the others, who were sitting in the other corner of the conference hall, were already a little sour.

After all, Liu Deyi is the speaker of the entire ACE League, and the person with the highest power in the entire LPL Organizing Committee.

Lin Fan can talk to him for so long, this is already a special treatment.

"Okay, Xiaolin, you sit for a while, the bidding will officially start at half past nine, and at that time, I hope you can win!"

"In addition, maybe there will be a tough battle today, so be mentally prepared."

After Liu Deyi finally explained a few words to Lin Fan, he also left.

He's going to speak later, and now he's going to get ready.

There were only two teams that could be personally received by Liu Deyi, Hu Bin and Lin Fan, and the bidders who entered the conference hall afterwards were crazy with envy when they looked at Lin Fan's eyes.

After Liu Deyi left, Lin Fan was not proud of the special treatment he and others received.

Just sit quietly in your seat and recharge your batteries.

Regarding the news that there may be a tough battle today, in fact, there is no need for Liu Deyi to say, he already knows it from PDD.

But what Lin Fan is worried about is.

He may not even be qualified to fight this tough battle.

After all, he is just a streamer, even if he has the team's operating funds rewarded by the system.

Lin Fan is now full of funds that can be used to bid for the bid, which is only about 260 million.

This is an unimaginable amount of money for ordinary people.

But for a company like Hu E-sports, which has been established for more than 10 years and even has the qualifications to go public, it is still up to it.

If Hu Bin works hard and fights him to the end, then the 260 million may not be enough......

The other side.

Jiang Xinhua sitting next to Lin Fan.

In fact, there are also words that are not spit out and unpleasant.

It's not like she's not doing nothing these days, as she grows more and more fond of the game LOL, and the anticipation of entering the LPL soon.

She also began to inquire about the relevant news.

Even, the news she could get here was more than Lin Fan knew.

According to Jiang Xinhua's knowledge, the starting price for participating in the LPL qualification bidding should be about 50 million.

And the final bid price is about 100 million.

This is just the situation in previous years, and this year, because of TG, it is still a question whether 100 million can be won.

It's not that Jiang Xinhua looks down on Lin Fan, but she knows how difficult it is for an anchor to earn 100 million savings.

In addition, Lin Fan did not, and would not tell the fact that the team operating funds he got through the system reward exceeded more than 200 million.

Therefore, Jiang Xinhua has the impression that Lin Fan may not have so many funds to bid.

And so—

This girl is about to blow herself up.

"Uh, that, Lin Fan."

Jiang Xinhua leaned into Lin Fan's ear and said in a low voice.

Lin Fan opened his eyes, and after hearing that it was Jiang Xinhua calling himself, he also put his ear to her mouth.

The girl exhaled like an orchid and said softly: "That, I read on the Internet that bidding for LPL qualifications may require hundreds of millions of funds." ”

"I don't know how much you've prepared here, I'm thinking about ......"

"We're a team, so we're going to work together, and I have some ...... here Some of the pocket money saved for the holidays, if the bidding is not enough, you can also use it......"

Lin Fan sighed in his heart.

Or a woman's heart is more delicate.

Will pay attention to these things.

The other big men in the team have never considered the question of whether they have enough money for themselves.

Lin Fan just wanted to comfort Jiang Xinhua, saying that he still had sufficient funds.

But the next sentence drawn by Jiang Xin made Lin Fan stunned.

"I don't remember how many there were, but at least six or seven hundred million were there."

Lin Fan: "......"

？？？

He was instantly sleepy, and glanced back at Jiang Xinhua.

The latter was a little embarrassed when Lin Fan looked at him so directly, and his eyes were a little evasive.

Lin Fan also realized that it was not good for him to stare at others like this, so he hurriedly turned his face away, and his heart turned upside down.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so rich......

It was at this time that Lin Fan recalled that a few days ago, the boss of Jiangchen Yipin gave himself a jumping price.

Probably because you recognize Jiang Xin's painting, right?

Mom, the pocket money saved over the years is five or six billion, what kind of family does this have to be?

However, on the surface, Lin Fan still coughed and regained his composure.

"It's okay, I also have plenty of funds here, so I shouldn't need you, thank you."

As he spoke, it was half past nine.

The lights of the entire conference hall were turned on in turn.

The venue, which had been a little noisy, fell silent in an instant.

Liu Deyi came to the stage and began to speak.

The speech was not long, and Liu Deyi followed a concise style, and after welcoming all the participants in the bidding and explaining the rules, the whole bidding meeting began under his auspices.

The first is the official tender.

The content of the tender is naturally LPL qualification, and the bidding price is similar to what everyone guessed.

50 million.

However, the subsequent bidding price naturally rose all boats.

In fact, it is a bidding meeting, which is not much different from an auction.

It's just that the only difference from the auction is that the auction is the one with the highest price.

In the bidding meeting, the tenderer will comprehensively consider the strength of the bidder, and a high price does not necessarily mean that the bidder will be able to win the bid.

But as is customary in LPL, there will be a bottom line winning bid price.

That is, what PDD said to Lin Fan before, 100 million.

This has not changed over the years.

Soon, the price of the bid exceeded 100 million.

After 100 million, it will be the world of the truly strong.

A lot of bidders who want to cut corners won't make any more bids.

And the nonsense of e-sports has been raising prices.

"130 million."

The boss Hu Bin was not in a hurry, and instantly raised the price by 30 million.

Lin Fan was not to be outdone.

As long as it is within 260 million, Lin Fan can accept it.

"One hundred and fifty million."

After Lin Fan made a bid, the others stopped shouting at all.

Only Hu Bin's family remained.

"One hundred and eighty million."

"Two hundred million."

At the moment when Lin Fan shouted out 200 million, whispers began to appear throughout the venue.

Two hundred million, this is the price that has never appeared in the previous LPL qualification bid.

It's already doubled.

The others became spectators and began to watch Lin Fan and Hu Bin fight.

And Hu Bin was also arrogant, and directly raised the price by 30 million again.

"Two hundred and thirty million."

When Lin Fan was about to increase the price, Liu Deyi on the stage stretched out a hand and signaled the two parties to terminate the bidding.

"We have all felt the determination of Mr. Hu and Mr. Lin to enter the LPL, but if we continue like this, this bidding will deteriorate."

"We're not an auction."

"But after considering the relevant qualifications of the two teams, we came to the conclusion that the qualifications and strengths of the two teams are very similar."

"As a result, we don't have a way to win the bid right away."

"Here, in view of the fact that we are bidding for an esports project, and both of you have formed a team, I propose that you both play a best-of-five LOL match, the rules and specifications of the game are completely in accordance with the standards of the LPL main competition, and the winner will win the bid to qualify for the LPL at your final bidding price, how about it?"

Just after Liu Deyi put forward this opinion, Lin Fan was the first to express his position.

"On the side of the VE team, agree with Chairman Liu's proposal."

Hu Bin also had a trademark smile on his face, and replied: "On the side of the TG team, there is no objection." ”

Wow –

All the other bidders present erupted in a low cry.

After all, this is an unprecedented situation!

The two teams battled it out for five rounds to determine the winner who made it to the LPL.

Sure enough, all capital and rules were put aside.

In the world of esports, is it true that fists are hard?

There's a good show to watch!

"Then please ask the players of the TG team and the VE team and the team management to stay, and the other team related personnel can leave the field, thank you for your participation!"

Soon, the bustling conference hall was deserted.

Only Hu Bin and his group, Lin Fan and his group, and Liu Deyi and other staff members are left.

"After our internal discussion and decision, after comprehensive consideration, we tentatively scheduled this game to determine the qualification for next season's LPL at 8 o'clock this evening, VE and TG, can you participate on time?"

"No problem."

"Yes."

Liu Deyi saw Lin Fan and Hu Bin making a decision.

It's officially announced.

"So, please enter the stadium at 7 o'clock tonight, the match will start at 8 o'clock, and in order to ensure fairness, impartiality and openness, this game will be open to live spectators without ticket sales, and online viewing will be organized."

After announcing everything, Liu Deyi also stepped down.

When passing by Lin Fan's side, he also patted the latter's shoulder.

"Come on, use your strength to kill in, I'm optimistic about you."

After speaking, Liu Deyi and his party walked out of the conference hall, and Ding Kai behind him glanced at Lin Fan meaningfully.

More than ten minutes later.

Lin Fan and the five of them left the Hongqiao Performing Arts Center, discussed it, and decided to go back to the base to rest and rectify.

After returning to the base, Lin Fan planned to catch up on sleep.

Let him stay up late and get up early in the morning to participate in the bidding competition, which is really a little sleepy.

Thunder and Xu Sheng, after getting along for a while, have also become friends who talk about everything, Lei Ting is older, and takes care of Xu Sheng in all aspects, quite a big brother.

When the two brothers returned to the base, they immediately opened the Hanbok rank, in Xu Sheng's words, this is to maintain a competitive state.

Jiang Xinhua seemed to have something to deal with at home, left the base, and said that he would definitely come back before the game.

Qi Dongqiang's side went to buy wine......

This is not because Qi Dongqiang is a heavy drinker.

It's that he eats the marrow and knows the taste.

I know that every time I finish drinking, I will be in a strong state.

So now he will buy a few bottles of high-grade liquor before important games to add a buff to himself.

Lin Fan and the five of them are busy.

And on Weibo, as well as the official website of the LPL, Douyu, Huya, and Station B, which have LPL broadcast rights, a piece of news has spread far and wide!

.
