Chapter 472: GRF's Bath in Fire and Rebirth!
"Is it like this?"
Xu Ruoguang took the phone handed over by Viper and listened quietly to CVMAX.
From the joy when he first arrived at GRF, to the growing contradictions in the follow-up, and even now, he realized that Zhao Kuinan had completely lost the bottom line, and chose to force the player to sign a long-term contract for the sake of profit and was completely disappointed.
It was as if cvmax had finally found a confidant.
"Yes, Emporer, maybe I can call you Xu Ruoguang?"
"GRF, it's changed...... It's no longer the GRF that fights for its dreams. ”
CVMAX said with emotion.
"When I first came to GRF, I thought."
"We will definitely achieve something in the future."
"We're not some high-profile talent, and we're not some academy that we've been in the stars club since we were kids."
"But our player is a very young hanbok thousand!"
"I believe it! I believe in their potential! This potential is enough to turn the world upside down and give the LCK a youthful wind! Let the world see the power of young people! ”
"GRF is indeed getting better and better, but is the current GRF still the simple GRF of S8 at that time?"
There wasn't much confusion in CVMAX's words.
"I know very well, it's not anymore."
"That GRF, it's dead."
He summed it up calmly.
"That's probably the case, Xu Ruoguang, please, please help me contact Chairman Li and investigate the GRF thoroughly."
"Kanavi is a very talented player and shouldn't be tied up in his career with a contract like this."
"JDG wants Kanavi, yes. Let them talk, two years, three years, it's okay. But five years, impossible. ”
Just like Viper, Xu Ruoguang also asked that question.
"Coach CVMAX, you should know the consequences of this too, right?"
"Ah, I know."
CVMAX on the other end of the phone laughed,
"Breaking the news about the inside story of the club, and applying to the league to thoroughly investigate my own club, my coaching career will probably end directly, and if there are no accidents in the future, probably no club will be willing to find such a coach."
"It's brutal, it's serious."
"But I can't turn a blind eye."
"I've been very unhappy as a coach for the past two years, and I don't want to continue doing it."
Xu Ruoguang listened to his seemingly free and easy words, and didn't say anything.
How could it be that you don't want to keep doing it?
Let's not talk about anything else, if he can't be a coach in the future, what will he do with his life?
You must know that although the salary of LCK coaches is not low, it is only not low, and it is similar to LPL coaches, and it is impossible for players to earn as much.
What's more, Xu Ruoguang felt cvmax's deep love and expectation for GRF.
If he had a choice, he would never leave the GRF.
But now he has no choice.
Fighting a manager like Zhao Kuinan, he can only seek the help of the competition committee.
Once the Format Committee intervenes, CVMAX will end his coaching career, regardless of the consequences.
However, he had already made up his mind.
All Xu Ruoguang can do is respect.
"I know, then I'll call Chairman Lee right away."
He nodded cheerfully.
To be honest, as a player, the GRF manager also felt disgusted by this kind of thing.
Forcing players to sign contracts is too much than OMG.
At that time, although OMG KTVIZED Xu Ruoguang, he didn't get stuck in his contract, so he was released very happily, and he also paid a total of 40,000 or 50,000 yuan for six months.
Boss Hou [OMG Boss] There is too much atmosphere in this regard.
This is also the main reason why Xu Ruoguang has nothing to hate OMG.
"Thank you, Xu Ruoguang."
cvmax's voice was a little stunned, and he was a little choked, and hung up the phone.
Xu Ruoguang put down his phone and touched his head.
"Ugh."
He couldn't help but sigh as well.
What's going on......
The bus was quiet, and his teammates and coaches heard the same as CVMAX.
"Don't think too much about it, it's normal for this kind of thing to happen at a club like this."
kkoma plain road.
"Didn't I have a conflict with the top management at SKT before? Where there are people, there is ...... Well, in your words, jianghu? ”
"I didn't expect the GRF manager to be so outrageous and force players to sign contracts."
Xu Ruoguang shook his head.
"Actually, it's not outrageous, if it's light, you have to remember that some things look like people, but in fact they just look."
"There are too many conflicts between the coach and the manager like this, and this manager's approach is indeed a bit excessive, but I just know that this is not the first time, and there are really many such things."
"This player named kanavi is very lucky, but many players don't necessarily have such luck, so they can only choose to agree."
"Tube? It's hard to manage, it's hard to manage. ”
"Even Zhao Kuinan may be just a white glove, and behind him is the high-level of GRF who is selling people."
Kkoma smiled mockingly.
"I was just tired of this kind of struggle, so I chose to go to the LPL with you at that time."
Xu Ruoguang nodded silently.
Yes, this kind of thing, it can't be the first time.
But because of that, he felt the anger.
What do you think of a person's future?
"Let me call Chairman Lee."
He picked up his phone and dialed it.
LCK Format Committee, President's Office.
Lee Min-hyuk did not rest, under the bright light, he was signing one document after another, and from time to time he had to write and draw.
As the biggest person in charge of the entire LCK league, he has to deal with everything from the overall planning of the team's games to the post-game support.
Even if many things can be handled by subordinates, in the end, they still have to go through his hands, and he nods his head before things can be passed.
It's power, but it's also a burden.
The mobile phone rang suddenly in the quiet room, and Li Minhe didn't raise his head.
"Wakamitsu's phone, bring me my phone."
He specially set an exclusive ringtone for Xu Ruoguang, which is the only one among all the players he knows, even faker does not have this treatment.
"Yes, President."
The assistant nodded respectfully and handed the phone to Lee Min-hyuk.
He loosened his wrist, patted his face, smiled, and picked up the phone.
"Hello? Is it light? ”
"It's me, Chairman Lee, and I have something to report to you."
Xu Ruoguang was very cautious in his words.
Because he knows that no matter how kind Lee Min-hyuk is, he is also the president of the LCK, and he is the only big man who has enough power to deal with this matter.
It is impossible for Xu Ruoguang to ask Chairman Li to help, this is not good.
This is Xu Ruoguang's way of life, and the distance is very well controlled.
"Oh?"
Lee glanced at the time, nine forty-seven in the evening.
His face turned serious.
"Who is UR targeted? Or is it which bad media is writing nonsense again? I had just warned them, so daring? ”
"You misunderstood, here's how it ......"
Xu Ruoguang couldn't laugh or cry, but some gratitude also emerged in his heart.
He then told Lee about GRF as it was.
“……”
Lee Min-hyuk banged on the conference table, and his face became more and more serious.
For a long time, he rubbed his temples.
"I see."
"Ruoguang, wait for my news, listening to cvmax is not enough for me to determine the whole picture of the matter, I need to do some small investigation of GRF."
Li Minhe said seriously,
"Two days at most, the results will be available."
"Okay, excuse me."
"Well, you rest early and play well next Monday."
Lee hung up the phone, stood up, looked at the lights outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
"President, has something happened? Am I eligible to know? ”
The assistant asked cautiously.
"I've found some moths and I'm thinking about how I can catch them."
Lee Min-hyuk's voice became cold.
Who is he?
LCK Tournament Committee, President!
During the time he led the LCK, it can be said that he wanted the LCK to develop better and better.
For this, how much has he done and how much responsibility has he shouldered?
For what? Make LCK Great Again!
On the surface, the GRF matter doesn't seem to be worth his energy, and sending someone to check Zhao Kuinan's account can send him to jail.
Even if Kanavi's contract has been signed, he can still forcibly tear it up, saying that the contract between the two sides was signed under the condition that the player was coerced.
So, why is Lee so angry?
Just put it in his shoes.
Damn, Lao Tzu is still working hard to get more LCK-born players back, and he has a headache every day about how to pull people back.
What about you brutes of Xiba?
For the sake of money, Xiba tried his best to send potential players to other competition areas!
This feeling of being dragged back, even for a person with excellent cultivation like Li Minhyuk, is really a bit of a feeling of high blood pressure.
What kind of worm teammates are these!
After a short period of thought, Coco Lee's face became calm.
"Assistant Li, convey my words."
"Inside!"
The assistant brother took the notebook and began to prepare the account seriously.
"One, next week's game will be the same, we have to deal with it in two days to show those guys our determination."
"Second, help me contact the president of the Korean Esports Association and apply to the Blue House to investigate the economic changes in the bank cards of all the club's senior executives."
"Three, send invitations to all club owners immediately, tomorrow morning, in the conference room on the third floor."
"Fourth, send an application to LPL's Tengjing Sports to jointly investigate the signing of the contract, and if the LPL club does not agree, it will be prohibited to export Korean aid to this club in the future."
"Five, report to the Korean fist and see how they react."
Lee closed his eyes and opened them.
There was already complete coldness in his eyes.
"The waste that is holding back must be completely eliminated."
"Inside!"
Li Minhe's movements were faster than Xu Ruoguang's imagination.
As a person who became the president at such an age, Lee Min-hyuk is very decisive, and once he does it, he will not leave any problems.
In just one night, he reached a consensus with the president of the Korean Esports Association, and his application to the Blue House was approved.
E-sports in South Korea is one of the few pillar industries in South Korea.
For them, who dares to influence the development of this industry......
Whoever has to get out.
Now it is clear that there is already an inner ghost in the club, and the potential players are sold to other regions.
This greatly harms the overall interests of the LCK.
These rats must be punished severely!
At four o'clock in the morning, all the details of Zhao Kuinan's economic transactions were already on Li Minhe's table.
At five o'clock in the morning, following this clue, the actuary hired by Lee Min-hyuk overnight unearthed more non-compliant transactions, including but not limited to: taking benefits from transactions, forcing players to carry out illegal training behaviors, and forcing players to sign five-year or even ten-year youth training contracts.
For a thriving region, this item is so dazzling.
At seven o'clock in the morning, after a busy night, Lee Min-hyuk drank another cup of coffee and continued to investigate the abnormal economic dealings between the top management and the direct managers of the major clubs.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Lee Min-hyuk, who had finally rested for two hours, washed his face and prepared to go to the venue.
At this time, the owners of the major clubs were already waiting impatiently in the conference room.
"What the hell is going on? Why all of a sudden let's all come here. ”
The GENG boss was a little confused.
"I don't know, I also saw the news when I got up in the morning."
The SKT boss shook his head.
"Wait until President Lee comes, he will know what the situation is."
The AFS boss let out a breath and said helplessly.
"Let's calm down, I believe that Chairman Li also has something very important."
UR boss Le Keden said with a smile.
"That's all it can be."
The GRF boss shrugged.
Just as they were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
The sunlight poured into the conference room, but inexplicably, it made people feel a little uneasy.
Click.
The wooden door to the conference room was opened.
Two bodyguards in black suits walked to both sides of the door with a calm face.
The major bosses were a little surprised for a while.
And what happened next made their faces more and more solemn.
Because, bodyguards, there are far more than two.
One by one, the bodyguards in black suits walked quickly to the conference room with expressionless faces, standing behind one club owner after another.
All the bosses didn't expect to see this scene, and they all looked at each other in surprise.
It was at this time that Li Zhongyun, the assistant to the president who had been standing quietly behind the chairman's chair like a transparent person, spoke.
"The content of this meeting is confidential, please put the mobile phone in the hands of the staff behind you for the time being, and we will return it after the meeting, thank you for your cooperation."
You call this a staff member?!
Some bosses can't help but want to complain.
Are you sure it's not black?! 【Afraid of river crab】
But despite 10,000 reluctance, they handed over their phones very heartily.
It was at this time that Lee Min-hyuk, who was at the end, appeared in front of all the bosses.
He was wearing a high-end handmade suit and a black tie, his face was calm and cold, and he glanced up slightly at the boss who was present, and walked towards the chairman's seat.
With his pace, the two bodyguards next to him invariably slowed down, allowing Li Minhe to walk in the front.
Lee Min-hyuk walked quickly to the chairman's seat, the bodyguards pulled him out of the seat, he sat down casually, took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his suit, and put it on the table.
UR boss Le Kedeng pupils froze and was silent.
"President Lee, I don't really understand, what is this ......?"
The SKT boss said something meaningful.
"Don't worry, it's just some secrecy."
Coco Lee replied flatly,
"This is requested by the Blue House, and the confiscation of your mobile phones is also to prevent you from ventilating your good subordinates."
"They're supposed to be on their way."
"Assistant Li."
"President, I'm here."
"Send the information to the bosses and let them see what their good subordinates have done."
"Inside!"
As the information was distributed one by one, the bosses who didn't know why looked at each other, picked up the information in their hands, and looked at it.
After a while, except for the UR boss who could still maintain basic politeness, the other bosses could barely calm down, but they had already begun to heat up visibly.
They never thought that there would be such people in their club.
How much money do you have to make less money!
Many bosses have blood in their hearts.
Where can there be star players who can earn a lot of money from youth players!
At the end of the day, they don't really care about the future of the academy players.
But this thing ......
Influence them to make money.
It's just a matter of making less money, and the money is basically not in their pockets.
This is the most odious betrayal that any boss who is qualified to hang on a street lamp cannot endure.
"What do we need to do?"
The SKT boss asked in a deep voice.
Li Minhe smiled slightly,
"This matter has been handed over to ......"
He wordlessly pointed to the ceiling, and the faces of the bosses changed again.
“…… Dealt with, they were professional. ”
"I need to remind you that esports is our pillar industry, and we have always been paying attention to it."
"We don't care about selling players, but it must be compliant and subject to the process of player consent."
"These people involved in non-compliant transactions, naturally someone has to clean them up."
"I invite you to come today, in addition to this matter, more to discuss another matter."
Coco Lee waved his hand slightly, and Assistant Lee took out a document again and distributed it to the bosses present.
Lecoden looked at the document in front of him.
Obviously, because he is a foreigner, this document is still printed in Chinese.
“…… Academy players, protection clauses? ”
He slowly read out the name of the document, his eyes stared, and he opened it.
This time, however, the bosses' reaction was less violent.
In addition to the points that Coco Lee has already said, this document is nothing more than some points that do not matter in the eyes of the bosses.
What stipulates that the minimum salary of youth players is equivalent to 12,000 soft girl coins and the like, which is completely ignored by the bosses.
To put it bluntly, it is the most expensive to spend more than 100,000 yuan per month.
For the owners who can afford to buy the club, although the money is not very pleasant, at least it is not particularly uncomfortable.
The meeting lasted until half past twelve.
At the same time, kanavi watched in amazement as Zhao Kuinan struggled frantically but to no avail was dragged out of GRF by a man in a J suit.
The nightmare, it seems, has dissipated.
That is, in the afternoon, the LCK officially issued an announcement.
"Hello everyone, this is the LCK Format Committee."
"Today, the LCK Operating Committee released the results of the investigation into the GRF incident, and we will inform you of the final results of the investigation regarding the incident below."
"As a result of the investigation by the Operations Committee, the relationship created through the LCK league was improperly exploited as a result of this incident, resulting in serious damage to the reputation and fairness of the LCK's core values. There are many members in the LCK league, and among these members, due to the different positions of the team's representatives, supervisors, players, etc., it is natural that there will be "power" due to the hierarchical order and status. However, this hierarchical rank and the "power" it generates are improperly exploited and cannot be justified under any circumstances. ”
"We believe that there are a number of factors that are needed for the LCK to maintain its impartiality in order for the esports fans to be large and to continue to improve. However, in the mutual relationship of LCK members, it is essential to protect and care for those who are in a relatively weak position. In this regard, the Operating Committee stated that if there is an unfair use of a strong position within the LCK Alliance, we will not ignore it under any circumstances. If the behaviour is deemed excessive, we will use the "principle of non-tolerance" without exception. Because this is an act that goes against the will of many esports fans, and it is an act that seriously damages the foundation of the LCK league, where fairness is the core value. ”
"Accordingly, in order to heighten vigilance throughout the league, this operating committee has promulgated the following penalties with a heavy heart."
"Penalties:"
"Punishment target: Zhao Kyunan, former representative of the GRF"
"Punishment: Permanent ban from participating in any LCK team related to the Korean esports industry."
"Effective date of penalty: March 27, 2019"
"If you get permission from Kanavi's parents to allow the underage player Kanavi to act as a player under the protection of the GRF, Kanavi's parents should also be fully negotiated and agreed to when Kanavi leaves the GRF and moves to another team."
"However, despite this, Representative Cho Kyu-nam has made the underage player go through the transfer procedures alone, coerced him to make a specific choice, and used improper influence, which is a dereliction of duty as a representative, and we further judge that it has seriously damaged the reputation and fairness of the LCK."
"Penalty target: GRF"
"Penalty content: Temporary withdrawal of LCK top league seats."
"Effective date of penalty: March 27, 2019"
"When Cho Kui-nam's actions were confirmed, the relevant personnel of the GRF team were directly involved or allowed to do so, and the operation committee of the GRF team was directed at GRF, and at the same time, the operation committee plans to regularly inspect the operation and management of the GRF team in the coming year."
"During this process, if the same or similar violations are found again, the maximum penalty will be an additional penalty of permanent revocation of the LCK and the right to a place in the development league."
When he saw this message, CVMAX smiled with satisfaction.
"Let's be reborn again, GRF."
"Summer Tournament, I'm sure you can still play back, S9 World Championship, you can definitely go."
“sword,tarzan,chovy,nuclear,lehends。”
"I may not be a good coach, but I've done something good this time, right?"
"I wish you all the best in your career."
"If you want to blame me for letting you play in the development league again, blame me, I'm sorry, but my brother really can't get used to it."
"Kanavi, in the future, come on."
CVMAX knows very well that with the energy of the major bosses, it is easy to know whose reason it is.
He might have to say goodbye to League of Legends.
But so what?
He doesn't care.
