After winning KT, Xu Ruoguang originally thought that today's game would be over.

After all, the K Cup is only a preseason game, and it belongs to the kind of small event before the main card, and it is generally not a big competition, but it is only because of the addition of UR that it has become popular.

At this point, there are not many races except SKT on the other track, and there is only one final.

However, when UR was about to leave, Xu Ruoguang unexpectedly saw Lee Min-hyuk, the chairman of the LCK Tournament Committee.

"Xu Ruoguang, please stop, we have some things that we need your cooperation on."

Lee Min-hyuk smiled very gently and reached out to stop the departing UR team members.

Xu Ruoguang was a little puzzled,

"What's the matter?"

"You'll find out in a moment, hopefully taking up some of your time."

Coco Lee said gently,

Xu Ruoguang thought for a while and nodded.

After a while, the entire arena was set up by the staff.

The original place where the players played was replaced by a long table dedicated to the press conference.

With a serious expression, Lee walked to the center of the stage and whispered to the staff.

"Come in, the reporters."

The subordinate nodded, and invited some unknown reporters over.

Xu Ruoguang and his teammates sat on one side of the table, and on the other side were several empty seats.

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.

Only Hongmi's expression was slightly bright, and he had some guesses in his heart.

He exhaled slowly, speaking with joy.

"Ruoguang, LCK really attaches great importance to you."

This scene......

Thinking of Xu Ruoguang's recent appearance, Redmi's whole person was already excited.

This is the official LCK, and you want to stand for Xu Ruoguang!?

As a Korean, Redmi knows too well how xenophobic Koreans are, and it's really, really hard to get Koreans to approve because they're very arrogant.

Otherwise, there would be no name for the Great Cold Netherworld of the Universe Empire.

However, at this moment, Xu Ruoguang, who was manipulated and abused by Tengjing because of joining the LCK, was able to let the LCK stand for him!

This is the real top player treatment!

The original spectators were politely invited out, replaced by a room full of reporters.

After waiting for the reporter to be almost in place, Li Minhe walked up to the stage with a steady step and bowed lightly to the audience.

"Fellow journalists, I am the chairman of the LCK Board of Directors, Lee Min-hyuk."

He spoke with a serious expression.

"We are here today because we need to clarify some things, and I hope you can report them truthfully."

"Next, let's invite the manager of the LCK team who has time to be there today to come to the stage."

He stretched out a hand, and on the left side of the stage, a manager of the LCK team walked out with a serious face.

SKT Club Manager, Kim Yong-chan!

KT Club Manager, Jung Jae-ye!

JAR Club Manager, Park Jae-Eun!

GenG Club Manager, Li Yuanzhong!

……

One by one, the ten managers of the club walked up to the stage with serious expressions and sat down on the seats with their names written on them.

The people in suits and leather shoes suddenly made the atmosphere of the whole venue quiet.

Some of the reporters who sensed that something was wrong had quickly raised their cameras in their hands.

Their instincts tell them that something big is about to happen!

As the last manager sat down, Coco Lee sat down dignifiedly, his expression still serious.

"Thank you for coming."

"I'm very sorry to hold a temporary LCK public conference today."

"However, we can't stand it, the LPL has slandered our Emperor players."

As soon as this sentence came out, it was immediately shattered.

No one expected that such a big scene would be because of a player!

Since the development of the LCK, there are only a handful of official external press conferences.

The first time was S3.

The LCK Format Committee has just been formed, promising to build a new esports ecosystem in the coming months to make the LCK more competitive.

And then there was SKT.

The second time was the S6.

On that occasion, LCK was defeated by K1, and the former president was forced to hold a public press conference under pressure, promising that S7 would never happen again.

The third time, it was the S7.

The LCK suffered an unprecedented Waterloo, coupled with a huge scandal that broke out during the continental tournament, and the former president resigned.

And now, it's the fourth.

One can imagine the surprise in the reporter's heart.

None of the first three external conferences had a huge impact on the next LCK landscape.

The specifications of this meeting are outrageously high.

In the past, it was impossible to hold a separate event for one player.

However, now, LCK, for Xu Ruoguang, has made an exception!

This is the courage of Lee Min-hyuk.

From the moment of negative impact, Lee Min-hyuk, who got the news, immediately took action, and in just one day, he contacted almost all the LCK club managers.

After more than three hours of meetings, Coco Lee decided to hold an LCK public press conference against public opinion.

His exact words were simple.

"Emperor is our player now, if we can't even protect our own players, who will dare to invest in LCK in the future, and who will dare to come to LCK?"

Lee Min-hyuk, who came back to his senses, had a serious expression.

"Yesterday, we noticed the smearing of our Emperor players by the LPL side, which we absolutely cannot tolerate."

"This press conference is a comprehensive review of the process of Emperor players joining the LCK."

He paused.

"Since a month...... No, we've been trying to get Emperor back in the LCK since a year ago. ”

"However, no matter how we got in touch, Emperor didn't reply to us at all."

"This time we are very sorry, because we feel that the personality and strength of the Emperor player deserve so much attention, so we will continue to keep in touch."

"LPL's statement is completely wrong!"

"From the very beginning, the Emperor player didn't have any idea of wanting to return to the LCK at all."

Coco Lee said solemnly.

"What Emperor players want to return to the LCK from the beginning, such a statement is completely false, it's just because the LPL itself is too incompetent to keep the players at all! I don't know how to respect the players at all! ”

"What did Emperor leave the LPL for? Is it really not clear to the LPL side? Okay, then I'll tell the world as it is. ”

Lee Min-hyuk sneered,

"LPL has added some new teams to S8, most of which are large enterprises on the LPL side, which is understandable, but the quota of IP has been privately cooperated by LPL with enterprises."

"In other words, although the IP was still in the hands of the Emperor players at that time, it had actually been taken back by the LPL, and the so-called euphemism to make the Emperor players give up ownership was completely made up!"

"The LPL side has forced Emperor players, and only one of the player's qualifications and club qualifications can be retained, what is the reason? It's ridiculous in order to prevent match-fixing. ”

"Assi."

Lee Min-hyuk burst into foul language.

"After you cancel the downgrade, you don't know what the so-called LDL looks like?"

He smiled sarcastically, completely tearing his face, and he didn't have to care about the thoughts of the other divisions.

You don't want to be said?

Then you don't want to do it.

"You're not going to deal with LDL!"

"Instead, come and question a triple crown winner!"

"Said he might be involved in match-fixing?"

"Xiba, is this reasonable?!"

"Huh!?"

Lee stood up abruptly, his hands propped on the table, his expression full of excitement and anger.

Facing the dense camera in front of him, he slammed the table.

A loud voice rang out, accompanied by his roar that resounded through the audience.

"Say a triple crown player, fake matching?"

The silence in the arena was terrifying, and his chest was constantly rising and falling.

He calmed some of the intense heartbeats and continued to speak generously.

"Emperor didn't have the slightest release in the face of the LPL team in S5, and his professional ethics don't need to be questioned at all!"

He threw his fist hard.

"This is a complete insult and slander!"

Coco Lee's sudden outburst directly made all the reporters serious.

They have already thought of the headlines.

"LCK President angrily denounces LPL spinach flooding! 》

Shocked! LCK and LPL completely tear their faces! 》

calmed down for a moment, and Li Minhe said coldly.

"This is a complete slander against our Emperor players, and we will not allow this to happen."

"The honor of the Emperor player cannot be trampled on like this!"

"We respect every LPL audience, every LPL player, and every exotic enthusiast who loves LPL."

"Every LPL player will be warmly welcomed by us!"

"However, we are the only ones who will not respect the LPL competition system group and Tengjing Sports!"

"This has touched our bottom line, the Emperor is a national treasure that we have only found with great difficulty, and we will never allow him to be bullied and insulted."

Lee Min-hyuk's face had a serious look that was a little striking.

"Hereby, all LCK clubs, and LCK format group statement."

"We will immediately ask Riot to launch an investigation into the LDL minor leagues and to investigate whether the IP disqualification is compliant."

"For those who slander Emperor players, we will also use legal weapons to collect evidence and prosecute them for defamation."

"The law is a powerful weapon for us to defend our players."

"Regardless of whether the Emperor player will stay in the LCK in the future, we will treat this player who has already stood at the top of the League of Legends project with the highest treatment."

"He's, our friend of the LCK!"

The resounding words not only made the reporters in the audience fly, but also shocked the UR players.

That's the limit of what you can do from one region to another player.

"Brother Guang......"

Xu Xiu couldn't help but speak,

He looked at Xu Ruoguang with a calm expression, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"I know."

Xu Ruoguang seemed to notice his gaze and replied with a smile.

In fact, his mood is extremely complicated right now.

The LPL that he has in mind is not taken seriously at all because of the introduction of capital.

And the LCK, which has always been an enemy, stood up at such a time and gave itself such solemn and serious support.

It's kind of ridiculous......

Xu Ruoguang thought so.

He's not an emotionless robot, and he's not some person who has received the LPL's immense boon.

helped LPL win two championships, Xu Ruoguang felt that he had done really well.

And yet?

If you say get out, you'll have to get out.

It's chilling.

Now when I come to the LCK, as long as UR asks for all kinds of things, all the LCKs will be given the green light.

Now when there is something insulting to himself on the LPL's side, it is also the LCK that stands up to help him speak and help him fight back.

Such a ............ on this

Xu Ruoguang suddenly felt that the identity of an LCK player seemed to be good?

If he was just fighting for his honor before, he wanted LPL to taste the taste of losing himself.

So now......

The thing called LCK glory was also firmly remembered by him.

Reciprocating the peach is Xu Ruoguang's life principle.

And now LCK, he has felt what respect and sincerity are.

Fighting for the LCK doesn't seem to be something to think about anymore.

He silently looked at Li Minhe and sighed in his heart.

This president is really not simple.

If this is your plan, then I admit it.

At this time, Li Minhe, after explaining Xu Ruoguang's matter, threw out a big bomb.

"From January 1, 2018, the new regulations will be written into the LCK Convention."

He spoke earnestly.

"This regulation is called the LCK Foreign Player Protection Regulations."

He glanced at Xu Ruoguang, noticed Xu Ruoguang's gaze, smiled and nodded.

"From the Emperor incident, we realized that we did not protect foreign players enough, and in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, we must put an end to it at the root."

"Not only Emperor, but anyone who wants to join the LCK and want to come and play, we are very welcome, and we will do our best to protect your rights and reputation."

Under the bright light, Lee Min-hyuk smiled, amiable and charming.

"We want to create a more international and competitive region."

"LCK has been in decline for too long."

He looked around the field, stretched out his hand, and clenched his fist.

"And now, we can believe it!"

"LCK will be—"

He smiled confidently.

"Again, great!"

Suddenly, the audience burst into applause.

Even the reporter unconsciously raised his hand and applauded under such contagious words.

Xu Ruoguang was also applauding.

If nothing else, just rely on Li Minhyuk's attention to him and the support he has received along the way.

Xu Ruoguang had no reason to say anything else.

"Now, Emperor, please come to me."

Lee Min-hyuk smiled and stretched out his hand.

Xu Ruoguang was slightly stunned, nodded, and walked to his side.

Lee put her hand on his shoulder.

"Emperor, let's work hard for LCK and S8."

"We, trust you."

Xu Ruoguang was silent for a few seconds, and finally smiled, slowly and seriously, and nodded.

Offstage, the official LCK photographer was shooting frantically and recording this scene.

In the picture, two people of about the same height.

One was dressed in a suit and had a tall figure.

The other was dressed in a team uniform and looked extraordinarily handsome.

They looked at each other.

The more the photographer looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and almost instantly thought of the name of the photo.

"LCK: The Birth of a New Generation"

At night, with the fermentation of various media, LPL and the world knew about this LCK press conference.

Almost instantly, on Twitter, Ah P had already made a move.

This time it's not just a few words.

He specially recorded a video.

"Hello everyone, I'm G2 midlaner, perkz."

In the picture, perkz wearing the G2 team uniform looks serious and cold.

"Actually, I never thought that something like this would happen to a fighter like Emperor."

"I think I need to educate you about what kind of player Emperor is."

He looked serious, and it was rare that he wasn't funny.

"He made his debut in '15, qualified as a starter in just one season in the summer tournament, and led SKT to the S5 World Championship in the S tournament of the same year."

"And then, it's what everyone knows, the Emperor era."

"What is the Emperor era? Whenever an athlete or player has no opponents for a certain period of time, and is full of honor, this period can be called his era. ”

Perkz spoke earnestly.

"And after the end of the Lee Sang-hyuk era from S3 to S5, we can say that this is the era of the Emperor."

"And it's not over yet!"

"Triple crown, triple crown, such an honor may not come out again until the League of Legends is closed."

"However, such a player is suffering from such persecution in the LPL."

"It's unbelievable."

Perkz exhaled.

"Because of the Emperor players, I originally liked the LPL very much."

"However, now, I don't have any good feelings about LPL."

"There's only one gesture I want to say to the LPL."

Perkz smiled mockingly and gave a slow thumbs up.

And then flipped abruptly!

Weak explosion!

This is also the public opinion on a global scale now.

"Oh my God, I just don't know what kind of shit they have in their heads to be so cruel to such a fighter."

"It's like a drama, I even thought I was watching a third-rate film, oh sorry, maybe the villains in the third-rate are not so stupid."

"Being backstabbed in the competition area that I've been fighting for, oh God, I hope this kid can be less troubled by this."

"I can't imagine how sad he is now, LPL, how dare you?"

The crowd was excited, and it belonged to yes.

Xu Ruoguang's contribution to the LPL is indelible, no matter how the LPL justifies and discredits him, the two championships he won for the LPL are impossible to be written by the history of the years.

Although Riot is controlled by Tencent, Tencent doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. It won't care.

Riot's image of Xu Ruoguang is also very good.

So Riot immediately issued a statement and decided to agree to the LCK's application and conduct a thorough investigation of the LDL.

Things are starting to reverse!

In China, self-media is the most steered.

At the beginning, they began to scold Xu Ruoguang for asking for money and being shameless, and ran to the LCK for money.

However, at this moment, the wind direction changed, and the video immediately began to be released again.

Sorry, we blamed the Emperor!

Yes! We too have been deceived!

Emperor is so pitiful, we have to help him speak!

This kind of behavior naturally attracts a lot of scolding, but self-media doesn't matter.

Where there's heat, there's money, who cares about this thing?

And there are some official accounts, but they can't be turned around like this.

So, what to do?

It's very simple, play dead.

It's shameful to escape, but it's useful.

The memory of the Internet is short-lived, and if they want to scold, let them scold.

However, it was not as simple as they thought.

The better Xu Ruoguang plays in the LCK, the more and more people will be cyberbullied.

Cyberbullying is not good, but when cyberbullying becomes the only way to resist, it really has to be cyberbullying.

What is the mood of the LPL official?

In a nutshell:

What the!

No one expected that Xu Ruoguang would be able to let LCK stand for him.

In the LCK press conference, everything was clearly laid out in front of the public, and no matter how stupid people are, they know whose problem it is.

originally wanted to transfer the contradiction to Xu Ruoguang, a player who ran away from the LCK, but I didn't expect that now, he was burned!

At this time, they were like ants on a hot pot, completely panicked.

The person in charge, who has just been in office for less than a month, is out of class directly. Qin Zhongze, who had already been in charge of other fields, was forced to come back to put out the fire.

But what can Qin Zhongze do?

Because the decision to introduce big capital to make the cake bigger is something that can only be made by the company's top management.

So he could only cancel those trolls and then hold a press conference.

At the press conference, Qin Zhongze's face was tired and he bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry, we didn't handle it well during this period and didn't take into account the emotions of the players."

"First of all, I'm sorry to the Emperor for hurting your feelings for LPL."

"Then, we will make corrections immediately, and there will be no more news like this on our official platform."

"At the same time, we welcome Riot's investigation into LDL, and we accept whatever the outcome is."

"Thank you."

Distant Korea.

Xu Ruoguang, who was sitting in the dormitory, looked at Qin Zhongze, who looked tired, and sighed.

"Brother Qin."

"Isn't this the one who forced you to leave?"

Xu Xiu asked curiously.

"No, Brother Qin has helped me a lot."

Xu Ruoguang shook his head.

He really has a very good image of Qin Zhongze, Qin Zhongze is very capable of doing things, and he handles things very quickly and efficiently.

It turned out that when the S7 World Championship was held, Qin Zhongze handled the belonging of his division.

"Oh."

Xu Xiu didn't ask any more questions, got up and was about to go out.

Xu Ruoguang was a little strange.

"What are you doing out at this time?"

There must be a separate toilet, and Xu Xiu can't go to the toilet.

"Training, brother."

Xu Xiu stopped, his tone calm.

"Has the matter been settled? I don't think so. ”

"LPL hurts your feelings so much, I can't accept beating them up well."

"The S race is too far, I want to go to MSI."

"And if you want to go to MSI, you have to get the spring crown."

"Brother, look at it, I'll take you to MSI."

After saying this, Xu Xiu waved his hand and walked out of the room.

Xu Ruoguang was stunned and smiled dumbly.

What!

You brought me into MSI?

Xiu'er, you're really a bit of a show.

Your brother and I have played MSI twice and won two championships.

Outside the door, Xu Xiu took out the small mirror he carried with him and adjusted his hair.

"I must be very handsome just now, right?"

He thought triumphantly.

Two days later, it was the final chapter of the Kespa Cup.

It is also the first battle to really test whether UR has the potential to win the championship.

The opponent is Nakano, the champion of the former IP!

SKT！

(End of chapter)
