A few days later, a week before the summer game, Xu Ruoguang received an official invitation from the LCK to record a promotional video.

The content of the promotional video is, pure eSports.

Xu Ruoguang was surprised at first, could it be that LCK is separated by this disgusting LPL?

Later, I found out that it was not, this promotional video was already available in 2017, and the LPL match-fixing was not exposed at that time.

So after pondering for a while, Xu Ruoguang chose to accept it.

In South Korea, there is such a thing as e-sports match-fixing, which has to be entered into the game.

Inside the prison! Perfect for holding!

Don't mention Korean sportsmanship, everyone knows it's bad.

When they first started esports, it naturally caught the attention of those involved in spinach and match-fixing.

In the beginning, the most popular game in South Korea was undoubtedly StarCraft.

There is really no need to say how popular StarCraft was in South Korea at that time.

But when the time came to 2011, things changed.

League of Legends became popular.

At that time, after League of Legends tried to hold the S1 World Championship, it found that the number of viewers reached 200,000.

As a result, Riot had some confidence in this, and began to actively seek some opportunities for further cooperation in South Korea.

In 2012, League of Legends had not officially opened Hanbok, but South Korea's League of Legends had topped the first place in the game share of Internet cafes.

Riot then took advantage of the trend and transferred the US account of Korean players to the newly opened Hanbok for free.

Subsequently, Riot sent President Ruiz to seek cooperation with KEPA the Korean Esports Association.

In fact, it stands to reason that StarCraft is so popular that League of Legends has no chance of being a latecomer.

But in reality, Kespa had a very unpleasant relationship with Blizzard at the time.

After all, Blizzard understands how domineering it is.

After realizing that Kespa's development was overly dependent on Blizzard's games, Kespa's top management urgently needed a new entrant to break Blizzard's dominance.

Just then, the fist appeared.

Fists aren't stupid, though.

You're obviously looking for a helper, and that's not all I want!

They want Kespa to be fully committed to esports.

So, what can solve this dilemma?

【Hand rubbing】

Money, my friend, is money.

At this time, the fist has the capital injection of penguins, which is called a wealthy person.

They signed two treaties with Kespa.

1. Riot does not charge for the broadcast rights of Kespa

2. Riot will also fund the development of League of Legends esports in Korea.

Kespa was shocked, and there is such a good thing?

I can't wait to directly "float in the cloth for half my life"......

And he bowed down.

Compared to Blizzard, Riot can be said to be the angel in their hearts.

As a result, the two sides began to work closely together.

Then, there was a very outrageous match-fixing incident.

AHQ was approached by a man named NOH in hopes of getting their naming rights.

After paying some of the money, AHQ agreed.

So a team with the name AHQ quietly entered the 2013 LCK Spring Tournament.

This team has nothing to do with the actual AHQ, which is just providing some equipment.

But because this team bears the name of AHQ, the Korean Esports Association at that time did not review it at all.

Before the start of the spring season, manager NOH told the players that there is a tradition in OGN, or later the LCK, that they will ask the clubs for "advertising money" before the game, but our club has no money to pay.

So, if we don't lose to the big teams that have paid for it, we'll be kicked out of the OGN.

At that time, four of the five players at AHQ were all newcomers who were playing professionally for the first time, and they didn't know anything about it.

And only hoon, one of the coaches of WE at that time, reacted.

It's not the first time he's played professionally, and NOH's words can't fool him.

He felt that as a professional player, he shouldn't have done that.

So the manager contacted the AD and jungler in the team, hoping that they would listen to him.

Although both are rookie players, there is obviously a gap in scheming.

The simple AD listened, but the jungler didn't.

After three games, the manager was about to blow up.

He wanted AHQ to win the game, and AHQ lost.

He wanted AHQ to lose the game, but AHQ won.

So when the player returned to the base after the third game, he found that the base was empty, and all the computers and other things were sold to repay the loan shark of the manager NOH.

Afterwards, OGN's investigation revealed that NOH was involved in illegal gambling, and through the title of AHQ, he unknowingly escaped OGN's scrutiny and formed a team specializing in match-fixing.

His rhetoric is actually to let the players play fake matches.

Afterwards, the AD player who realized the truth couldn't believe it, and his self-blame and guilt, as well as his belief in e-sports, made him unable to accept everything.

Subsequently, he disclosed all this on his social media and committed suicide by jumping from the 12th floor.

Fortunately, it was rescued in the end, because there was a baffle underneath to relieve some of the impact.

It is also because of this incident that the Korean Electronics Association is nervous, which gives birth to the annual pure e-sports promotional video.

To put it bluntly, which region doesn't have a fake match?

Those spinach dogs and dogs are like sharks that smell blood, and they have always been eyeing the contestants.

Xu Ruoguang arrived at the filming site of the promotional video, and naturally saw the leading players of some of the remaining teams.

For the match-fixing incident, because it has already been experienced, the LCK attaches great importance to it.

The watchmen from every house are basically here.

Soon, the promotional video was filmed.

Xu Ruoguang also watched the promotional video of the boycott of match-fixing filmed by them together with Faker and SMEB.

The title of the promotional video is "Let's Boycott Match-Fixing, Pure Esports Event".

The first to come up is SMEB.

"Why can't you get involved in illegal gambling?"

His expression was serious.

The next moment, Pray appears in the shot.

"Why? Because that's against the law. ”

Head Ann nodded seriously.

"Yes, that's illegal."

SMEB spoke.

"And it causes manipulation."

Pray continued.

"A criminal organization that intends to profit from illegal esports gambling."

Xu Ruoguang followed with emphasis.

"Criminal organizations."

Faker nodded in the same way.

"Criminal organizations."

Xu Ruoguang took a deep breath,

"The players will be asked to help control the outcome of the game."

Pray looked puzzled,

"Is that something you can get out of?"

SMEB shook his head slightly.

"No, once a player chooses to participate, they can't get out of it."

Two tears appeared on Deft's face, and he clenched everything with his two hands.

"It's scary."

Wolf answered.

"Supposedly they will intimidate the players."

Crown nodded.

The threat said. will reveal the fact that you have been involved in the manipulation of victory and defeat. ”

Wolf looked serious,

"You can't refuse their repeated requests."

"Because once the matter is revealed, you will become a criminal."

"I can't do it as a player anymore."

Xu Ruoguang spoke calmly.

"Engaging in illegal gambling is a crime in itself."

"Illegal gambling sites will also be shut down."

"And those who participate in illegal gambling will also be sentenced, 5 years in prison, 50 million won."

"Also, I hope everyone knows."

Xu Ruoguang reminded.

"The illegal gambling websites that everyone uses are also operated by illegal organizations."

"Will people support esports that is polluted by manipulation of wins and losses? This is not fair. ”

"There is no need for players to train seriously, even if they win, they will not be happy."

Ruler spoke.

"Would people want us to be involved in manipulating the odds?"

Faker spoke seriously.

"The more people get involved in gambling, the more dangerous we are."

Bang nodded.

"It's important to put an end to illegal esports gambling."

"Don't gamble."

Crown said.

"Hate gambling."

Deft said quietly.

"Please, everyone."

cuvee bowed earnestly.

"Please don't do that."

Faker said solemnly.

"I can't take it."

Xu Ruoguang spoke indifferently.

This is the end of the promotional video.

"Wow, well done, everybody."

The director was full of praise, "Everyone's cooperation is very good, and the shooting of this promotional video is very fast." ”

The contestants laughed, and faker pushed his glasses.

"Because it was our job to resist match-fixing."

"Ruoguang, let's go, it's over, I'll invite you to eat."

He greeted Xu Ruoguang.

Xu Ruoguang didn't react yet, and Wolf looked like he had seen a ghost.

Mo Ya Yigu?!

Brother Sanghyuk actually said that he wanted to invite someone to eat?!

This doesn't look like you, Brother Sanghyuk!

"Huh? All right. ”

Xu Ruoguang thought about it for a while, because the filming ended very early, and he was still on vacation at this time, so there was no need to go back to the club so quickly, just eat something.

The two of them came to a small ice cream shop outside the door.

faker bought two cokes, bought two cones, and handed one to Xu Ruoguang.

"You're the first time I've invited someone to eat, so be grateful, grateful."

Lee Sang-hyuk said.

Xu Ruoguang took it with a smile, "I know, I know, thank you, Brother Xianghe." ”

Lee Sang-hyuk took a leisurely sip of the cone and suddenly spoke.

"Ruoguang, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Xu Ruoguang was stunned for a moment,

"What are you referring to?"

"You, and Eunjing."

The atmosphere froze all at once.

Xu Ruoguang raised his head and looked at Lee Sang-hyuk's eyebrows, which suddenly became serious, as well as his sharp gaze.

I didn't hesitate for too long, and I admitted it very simply.

"Yes, we're in this together."

Lee Sang-hyuk's heart swelled with an unprecedented sense of loss, but his face remained calm.

"Really? Thank you for your willingness to tell me directly, without concealment. ”

"Feeling sick?"

Xu Ruoguang asked directly.

"No, how can I say it......"

Lee Sang-hyuk smiled self-deprecatingly,

"Actually, I have a premonition."

"Every time she comes to see us play, she just keeps her eyes on you, and I've had some guesses since then."

"It's just unwilling."

Xu Ruoguang was silent for a moment,

"That's right."

"Hmm."

Lee Sang-hyuk slowly turned on the soda and held it up in front of Xu Ruoguang.

"Here, cheers."

Xu Ruoguang smiled, turned on the soda, and clinked glasses with him.

Lee Sang-hyuk smiled, albeit a little ugly.

"Tonight, will you have a drink with me?"

"What else do friends do?"

Xu Ruoguang teased.

"Why didn't you do it?"

Lee Sang-hyuk gave him a strange look.

"Host Enjing has never shown any feelings for me, it has always been my unrequited love, and now that she has chosen you, it is already a pretty good ending for me."

"Because compared to strangers, you make me more recognized."

Although Lee Sang-hyuk was lost, he didn't feel much anger.

Because at least Xu Ruoguang is a player he recognizes.

Losing to Xu Ruoguang, he can reluctantly accept it.

Because there had been speculation for a long time, he probably knew that this would happen.

"Am I supposed to be honored?"

"Of course, who do you think approves of you? The big demon of LCK, Lee Sang-hyuk! ”

"Assi, it sounds really enough, it's too second."

"Haha."

That night, Xu Ruoguang helped the drunk Lee Sang-hyuk to the base of SKT.

The uncle who guards the gate at the base still knows him.

"Ah, Ruoguang, do you have something to do with the SKT base?"

Xu Ruoguang helplessly raised the head of Lee Sang-hyuk who was holding him,

"You see, he's drunk, I'll send him back."

The gatekeeper squinted and looked at it,

"Oh, isn't this the young man from Sanghyuk? I see, I'll open the door for you. ”

Xu Ruoguang walked into the SKT club.

This is the first time he has stepped into the SKT club after two or three years.

The familiar car took Lee Sang-hyuk to the training room.

Xu Ruoguang hadn't been to the SKT club for a long time, and he wasn't sure if the room Lee Sang-hyuk was staying in now was the same room as before.

So I simply asked the SKT players to help with the placement.

There was a knock on the door of the training room, and a familiar voice came from inside the door.

"Please come in."

A smile appeared on Xu Ruoguang's face.

It's a small peanut.

Pushing open the door, SKT's assistant coach saw Xu Ruoguang at a glance.

and Lee Sang-hyuk, whom he was supporting.

He hurriedly walked over and took Lee Sang-hyuk.

"Emperor, what's wrong with Sanghyuk?"

"He's got some drink, can you take him to the bedroom for a moment?"

"No problem."

The assistant coach nodded and took the faker.

Looking at the two people who were far away, Xu Ruoguang was about to leave, but Little Peanut stopped him.

"Are you in a hurry? Brother Guang. ”

The little peanut who spoke seemed to have some resentment.

I don't blame Little Peanut like this. The main reason is that Xu Ruoguang hasn't eaten with him for a long time.

There's no time for the party, so what's like a friend?

This is very wrong for the little peanut who cherishes his friend.

"Ahaha, it's Wanghu."

Xu Ruoguang looked like he had just seen him, and walked over with a smile.

"Actually, I saw it from the beginning!"

Little Peanut complained.

"Don't care, don't care, I just don't want to peek into your tactics."

Xu Ruoguang is a serious way.

"It's all on vacation, where did the tactics come from, if you want to study the tactics, the head coach must be there, and now he's not here."

Little Peanut shook his head helplessly.

Xu Ruoguang walked up to Little Peanut and looked at his screen.

"Robbed?"

"You can see clearly, this is me robbing the big dragon on the other side."

Little Peanut hummed.

Khan, who was sitting next to him, wanted to give Xu Ruoguang a seat, but Xu Ruoguang shook his head after thanking him.

No need, already leaving SKT.

After chatting with Xiao Peanut for a while, and agreed to have a party together in a few days, Xu Ruoguang said goodbye to Xiao Peanut and walked out of the door, but happened to see the SKT head coach who came over urgently.

When he saw Xu Ruoguang, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Emperor?"

Xu Ruoguang was helpless and bowed.

"Yes, hello SKT manager."

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's already so late, Seoul is very unsafe, or just spend the night at SKT, and I'll call your coach. ”

SKT head coach smiled.

Xu Ruoguang: ?

Is Seoul unsafe?

It's only nine o'clock in the evening, and it's not safe anywhere.

He opened his mouth, and before he could speak, the SKT coach had already pulled out his phone and dialed Redmi.

After some exchange, he nodded earnestly.

"Inside, we will definitely take care of the Emperor player, don't worry."

Hanging up, he smiled.

"Emperor, Coach Redmi has agreed."

Xu Ruoguang was helpless, so he had to nod.

Bad!

It's a den of thieves!

"It's still early, if you're not sleepy, why don't you take a look at our training matches and give some help to Khan."

The SKT head coach said something unintentionally.

Xu Ruoguang didn't notice anything wrong and nodded.

Half an hour later, Xu Ruoguang, who was sitting in the SKT unit, looked confused.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What happened?

Why am I suddenly going to play SKT on the unit?

"Khan, pay attention to the operation of the Emperor player, this is a very rare opportunity."

Behind him, the SKT coach said seriously.

Khan nodded earnestly, "Inside!" ”

In this era, no one dares to say that they are better at playing orders than Xu Ruoguang.

Today, it's their training match with KT.

Xu Ruoguang exhaled.

It's all here, so let's fight hard.

He looked sideways at the little peanut beside him, and the familiar feeling came.

Little Peanut noticed his gaze and smiled brightly.

"Brother Guang, even if you press, I will be behind you."

Xu Ruoguang: ......

"Okay."

He laughed after all.

Before the training match, SMEB was very confident.

“khan？ What is there to be afraid of? It's just a top laner who can't get along in the minor leagues of the LPL, and I admit that he has grown a lot, but it's still impossible for me to win. ”

"This one, let me educate you well!"

After seeing Khan's selection of Kenhime, SMEB laughed even more.

"Hahaha, you dare to take out the sword in front of me? Joke! ”

Backhand out the captain.

"Look at me sanctioning you!"

He couldn't wait to shoot one shot at a time, and shot all the SKTs.

As a result, I went up and fought for three minutes, and SMEB didn't know who he was.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Straight dizzy!

"Brother Jing Hao, what's wrong?"

Jungler asked.

"No, why did Little Peanut choose the second level to catch it? Khan deserves his attention? Yes? ”

"I don't know, I thought it was the Emperor!"

"Brother Wanghu, who is this disgusting?"

SMEB's tone was incredible.

In the next second, before returning to the city, Jian Ji gave Timo a thumbs up.

SMEB red warm.

"Anisiba!"

"Xiba Khan is showing me the mark...... It's disgusting! ”

"Why is he?!"

SMEB looks sick to your stomach!

Damn, Emperor abused me in the game, I admit I can't beat it, which green onion are you khan?

Why are you?

I'm sick to my stomach!

Then, at the time of six minutes, he was killed alone.

It's a very simple card with five levels of tower crossing and single killing.

After Jian Ji caught the opportunity, she didn't even bother to wait for six, so she directly gave SMEB Yue.

smeb：？？？

Wrong!

Something is very wrong!!

Khan's Kenji is really good, but how can she have this level of proficiency?

When it comes to Jian Ji and this terrifying proficiency, SMEB can only think of a spicy man.

Spicy man who is now invincible.

He tentatively sent a message.

【Everyone】b (Plague of the Seas): Emperor?

Xu Ruoguang smiled dumbly, "Did you find out that it was me?" ”

He looked at the SKT coach.

"What to do? was discovered. ”

"Tell him, it doesn't matter, I'm angry with the head coach of KT."

The SKT head coach said with a smile.

Other people's orders, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

It's really an exaggeration to be able to stably play SMEB into such a top order in seven minutes.

It's no wonder that Redmi has been in the coaching group recently, and it's been a daily pleasure.

SKT managers are crying.

Although they now have khan, khan is not bad.

But you have to throw it around!

The gap between Khan and Xu Ruoguang is still too big.

So Xu Ruoguang returned.

[Everyone] (Musou Kenhime): Yes.

SMEB breathed a sigh of relief.

I said, how could I be beaten like this by Khan!

He looked back at his manager, who nodded.

"Today, Emperor sent Faker back to the SKT base, and it happened that Khan was unwell, so he notified me and asked Emperor to take over temporarily."

smeb：……

Do you know what a psychological damage to the players by playing a game with this hanging man?

Don't ring pills spicy, don't ring pills spicy!

At the end of the fifteen-minute training match, the power of the conjoined body of Little Peanut and Xu Ruoguang was still the same, and Ueno was directly penetrated by them.

Xu Ruoguang got up, "Enough, right?" ”

He was also quite helpless.

To be honest, I feel a little sorry for him for always beating Smeb.

As the strongest top list in this era, everyone must be beaten hard.

What does it mean to catch SMEB alone?

"Enough is enough, Emperor, you go and rest."

SKT coach smiled brightly.

He wants to study this video carefully.

In addition to improving Khan's alignment level, he also wanted to seriously explore the details of Xu Ruoguang's alignment.

Soldiers don't get tired of cheating.

The next time I beat Xu Ruoguang, maybe I will have a better chance of winning because of this incident?

The temporary accommodation arranged by SKT for Xu Ruoguang is very luxurious, single room.

Moreover, it was also Xu Ruoguang's room after he became a starter from a substitute.

I have to say that it is very respectful.

After Xu Ruoguang finished washing, he lay on the bed and turned on his mobile phone, but unexpectedly saw a message from Qin Zhongze, the reappointed head of Tengjing, on his WeChat.

Lao Qin: Xu Ruoguang, are you there?

Xu Ruoguang was a little confused about his intention for a while, and replied.

The next moment, Qin Zhongze sent over a document.

Xu Ruoguang clicked Accept. His eyes were shocked.

This is an invitation.

About the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, the invitation letter of the Chinese team.

"We sincerely invite Xu Ruoguang [ID: Emperor] to join the Chinese team lineup for the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games as the top single."

Look at this line of words.

Xu Ruoguang did not hesitate.

Tranquility Zhiyuan: Don't go.

If you tell me to go, I'll have to go?
