Chapter 551: There are many champions, but there is only one friend

Now that the candidate has been decided, Xu Ruoguang immediately called Qin Zhongze and contacted the manager of WBG.

"This ......"

Faced with Xu Ruoguang's request to buy ON, the WBG manager was very surprised.

To be honest, ON does have a talent, but at the moment, it doesn't show the WBG manager the potential to reach Meiko or Xiao Ming.

Because the defect is too big.

The average team doesn't have much vision control ability, so they rely on the support to do the vision.

But ON's vision has not been good.

It's not that he hasn't worked hard, but he often can't take care of this after the fight.

Therefore, WBG does not attach much importance to ON.

However, although it is not very important, now that Xu Ruoguang has come to the door, the manager of WBG has also thought about it.

Could it be that the potential of ON is more than that?

So when Xu Ruoguang asked for the first time, he rejected Xu Ruoguang a little tactfully.

Xu Ruoguang was also speechless.

But this kind of thing is normal, in fact, the decision is still on ON.

Because times have changed.

The previous LPL's protection of players cannot be said to be completely non-existent, and it is basically equivalent to nothing.

At that time, the LPL mainly protected the interests of the club, and it was naturally impossible to protect the players with all their hearts.

However, with the reform of the LCK in S8, for a while, the LPL could not even buy strong LCK players, because the players were not stupid and knew that the contract was likely to have problems and did not trust the LPL at all.

So in order to change this situation, the LPL can only follow in the footsteps of the LCK and improve the protection of players.

Among them, the right to know is explicitly written in the rules.

So although the manager of WBG was unwilling, he could only reluctantly tell him about Xu Ruoguang's request for an ON transfer.

"Me?"

ON pointed at himself, a funny look on his face.

In his opinion, it is impossible for him to have anything to do with a top player like Xu Ruoguang now.

He didn't do well last year, and that's pretty clear to ON.

So he wasn't very convinced.

"Hmm...... Xu Ruoguang came here in person and wanted you to transfer to IG, what do you think? ”

The WBG manager smiled more amiably than ever.

Realizing the attitude of the WBG manager, ON realized that this might be true.

How could a previous manager laugh so disgustingly?

“……”

For a moment, he fell into deep thought.

To go or not to go?

Don't go, the benefits are obvious.

Even a player like Xu Ruoguang wants him to transfer, his potential or ability in some aspect must be very potential, which can be valued by Xu Ruoguang.

Then WBG will definitely pay more attention to itself in the future, and the contract will naturally improve a lot of treatment.

Where to go?

The benefits are......

Maybe there's a chance to compete for the S11 title!

Is it possible to get the money, or is it possible to get the honor?

ON didn't think there was much to choose from.

"I want to go."

He spoke earnestly.

Money is a fart?

Even if WBG values him, the contract will at most mention the midstream player before he plays well enough.

And he could lose a chance to compete for a World Title.

If you really win the world championship.

With his age, with the scarcity of auxiliaries.

Tens of millions or even tens of millions of contracts may not be a dream.

This path is far higher than the upper limit of options to stay in WBG.

Although no one dares to say that they will be able to win the honor of the World Championship, as long as they have the opportunity, I am afraid that no one wants to give up.

The same is true of ON, of course.

“…… Alas. ”

The WBG manager sighed, he also knew that ON would choose this way.

In the current LPL, card player contracts will be fined heavily.

If you don't pay, you will even have your LPL seat revoked.

So as long as ON wants to leave, WBG will definitely not be able to stop him.

"Work hard in the future, and become famous as soon as possible!"

The WBG manager who figured it out didn't coerce and induce, but patted ON on the shoulder and carefully persuaded.

To the kindness of the WBG manager, ON also nodded obediently.

The next day, the WBG club had a deal with the IG club, and ON's contract was sold to IG for four million a year.

The deal didn't cause much volatility as the biggest fish of the transfer window of the year has yet to materialize.

Who is the big fish?

Of course, a member of the new world champion EDG.

So ON's transfer didn't cause much of a splash.

At most, IG fans paid a little attention, but they still didn't hold out hope.

The bottom lane is strong and needs AD and it's not bad, even if ON is now an auxiliary at Meiko's level, AD can't be used at the top, it's still a piece of.

And as long as the lower lane can't withstand it, even if the mid laner rookie is strong now, it's useless.

The lame dog son couldn't take off after all.

Xu Ruoguang and ON were very friendly when they first met.

Although ON likes to play games, he is a person with a very good personality in life.

And Xu Ruoguang can also feel the desire for victory in this young man's heart.

If there is no desire for results, staying at WBG is not a bad choice.

This made Xu Ruoguang a little happy.

Because one of the truths he has always believed in is:

You can be a cook, or you can not be talented.

But you can't do without a little bit of the idea of pursuing results.

Unmotivated players are easily abandoned by the times.

Many pros choose to retire and then make a comeback, sometimes perhaps because of the relentless pursuit of championships.

But the bigger element is to play another dozen to see if you can make some more rice.

Of course, it's good to be able to win, and if you can't win, you won't lose.

Why do you say that some of the players who are coming back?

Because if you're really attached to the championship, there's no way you're going to retire while you're still playing, no matter how rubbish your teammates are.

For example, DEFT.

He couldn't make the playoffs when his teammates were at their worst.

But did he retire?

This is the unremitting and pure pursuit of victory.

And with the arrival of ON, the new generation of IG has officially moved into the IG club and started training.

At this time, the IG player. It's not much.

The players from the other divisions are not here, they are all League of Legends players.

And because the contracts of the first and second teams are almost all sold, there are naturally not many players.

There is one exception, though.

THAT'S ROOKIE.

Rookie's contract ended just this year and is now a free agent.

At this time, the IG club was already controlled by Enjing, and Rookie's identity as a free man was naturally not sold by Wang Gongzi.

Eun Jing has no intention of signing a contract with Rookie. After asking Rookie if he would like to continue playing, he received a positive answer.

IG also decisively listed Rookie.

After all, Rookie is also not young this year, and if a player of this age is listed too late, it is really difficult to get the starting position when the lineup of the major teams is about to take shape.

In order not to delay Rookie, Eun Jing is very decisive.

Rookie's listing has made many clubs excited.

Although Rookie is not young, he is still good at the line. The current level is firmly maintained at the level of the top mid-laner.

Although his form may fluctuate in the future, he is indeed a worthy player now.

Therefore, many mid-stream and lower-level clubs have launched a purchase from IG, among which the new team V5 is the most eager, and the offer is completely based on the level of first-class mid-laners.

Strangely enough, however, Rookie did not react to these contracts.

For a while, these clubs were also a little suspicious.

Could it be that IG is a tentative listing?

Isn't your IG entertaining our family?

It's not like no one has done this kind of thing before, just to test whether their players are stable.

So their heat has subsided quite a bit.

IG's listing of Rookie made the old fans of the dog sons surprisingly angry.

Once they put up an order, we didn't speak.

Because we knew Theshy couldn't stay.

Later they listed Wink, and we didn't speak.

Because Wink is not important to IG.

Until now, IG has listed Rookie, and we really can't help it!

This is Rookie.

This is the cornerstone of our IG team building from S5 to now!

Rookie is indeed a bit big this year, but that's not why IG listed him!

This is the true soul of IG.

There is no player more important to IG than Rookie, and when Rookie is there, IG has hope.

Rookie is gone, what else is there to see on IG?

For a while, the Internet was turbulent, and IG's official blog was directly washed away.

"Even Rookie sells? Why don't you sell yourself? ”

"Don't sell Rookie...... Count me begging you, IG is gone, Rookie, is it still IG? ”

Of course, most fans are not so mild.

"Stupid."

This is the Restoration, concise and clear.

"Hurry up and die, IG, I won't watch you play in my life."

It's blackened, completely insane.

"You're dead IG, how are you embarrassed?"

This is the iron powder that breaks the defense.

"What about Rookie's contribution to IG? You're going to sell this, I'm really disappointed, forget it, whatever you want. ”

This is the numbing pie.

In just three days, IG's official blog was directly washed away, and the super talk sisters were wailing.

And at this time, Xu Ruoguang was really ready to look for Rookie.

Rookie did not agree to other clubs' offers, much to Xu Ruoguang's surprise.

He wanted to ask Rookie for himself what he thought.

Wow.

Xu Ruoguang knocked lightly on the door three times, and Rookie's voice came from the room.

"Please come in."

The voice is full of energy, and it doesn't look like he's sick.

Xu Ruoguang opened the door and entered Rookie's bedroom.

At this time, Rookie was sitting at the head of the bed, looking at something with his phone.

Rookie, who heard the voice, raised his head and was a little surprised to see that it was Xu Ruoguang, but then showed a sudden look.

"Are you asking me to leave IG? Also, I don't have anything to do with the current IG anymore, so I can't live here forever. ”

When he got up, he was about to collect his things.

Although he felt sorry in his heart, Rookie quietly hid his sadness.

The final parting, he hopes to be decent.

Xu Ruoguang walked over and stopped him from packing his luggage.

"No, if such a big IG can't even let a veteran player stay for a few more days, it's too unkind."

Xu Ruoguang opened his mouth seriously,

"I'm just feeling a little confused."

Rookie breathed a sigh of relief.

He also thought that Xu Ruoguang was here to drive people away.

"What's the matter?"

He asked, a little confused.

Xu Ruoguang sat beside him and spoke curiously.

"Why don't you agree with their offer? I remember the most V5, and I've already been given a good salary contract, right? And you are a free person, and you can still take the signing fee yourself. ”

"Any concerns?"

It's really weird.

Because with Rookie's current situation, it really won't be easy for him to get a contract like this.

Didn't you see that Lee Sang-hyuk, who was about the same age next door, was directly regarded as an outcast?

No one dared to bet on how long they could play.

Rookie is also a veteran. It is impossible not to be clear about this.

But he didn't choose to agree to the contract.

Does he want to retire?

Xu Ruoguang thought of this possibility a few days ago, but then immediately vetoed it.

How can people who really want to retire still train hard every day?

Hearing Xu Ruoguang's question, Rookie was a little silent for a while.

Xu Ruoguang saw that he didn't want to say it very much, and stood up.

"It's okay, don't say it if you don't want to. IG can stay as long as you want and you are always welcome. ”

He smiled and spoke.

Xu Ruoguang still has a good impression of a player like Rookie who has his own persistence.

In terms of the individual qualities of the players, Rookie is definitely the top one.

Rookie was stunned.

Seeing that he was about to leave, he finally stopped him.

"Would you like to hear my story?"

Xu Ruoguang's eyes flashed.

Triggered a branch?

He sat back.

"It was 2014......"

Rookie spoke softly.

Rookie, whose real name is Song Yijin.

S4 made his debut in the KTA in the spring game, and as soon as he debuted, he singled out Faker, who was known as the No. 1 midlaner in the LCK at the time.

In the summer season, Rookie defeated Samsung Blue with a score of 3-2 to win the LCK championship of S4.

However, Rookie, who rose to fame at a young age, did not make it to Worlds that year, because the LCK summer championship points were not enough to qualify for the No. 1 seed.

This is also a problem of irregularities in the early races.

At that time, there was also a PE on the LPL side, who also won the summer championship, but failed to enter the world championship.

"I was very disappointed, but I was confident that I would make it to Worlds."

"In December, through the introduction of the intermediary, I came to IG with Brother Bingquan."

Rookie smiled.

Bingquan is Kakao, whose real name is Lee Bingquan.

At that time, Rookie was basically a partner, because Kakao was too fierce at that time.

And Rookie is just like his ID, still a rookie.

However, after coming to IG, Rookie's talent gradually began to be revealed. In the era of the ever-changing S5LPL top mid-laner competition, he still firmly grasped a seat.

At that time, S5 came to China because of Samsung Cross, and the entire LPL entered the first evolution.

This is also the first era of Korean aid.

At the moment, the competition in LPL mid-laners is very fierce.

Pawn and Godv don't need to be mentioned.

Statelessness at the moment is also undoubtedly OMG's thighs.

And the only one who is similar to them is Rookie.

You can imagine how exaggerated Rookie's progress was at this time.

This was the year that Rookie entered the Worlds for the first time.

He was full of ambitions, but the result was a surrender on National Day.

S6,S7。

IG never made it to the Worlds again.

Just when Rookie was desperate, S8's IG suddenly ignited his hope.

An unprecedentedly suitable version of the Worlds, with the most talented teammates in history, and the five most tacit matches.

All this seemed to tell him that there was really hope for the year!

However......

"In the final, we met UR......"

Speaking of this, Rookie glanced at Xu Ruoguang and sighed.

To be honest, UR at that time was not impossible to win from the current point of view.

But the IG at that time really had nothing to do with UR at all.

I can only regret to win the runner-up.

The next two years followed.

With the Theshy transfer, Rookie is actually a bit dead set on now.

"In my career, my memories of belonging to the KTA are blurry."

He spoke softly.

"More than that, it's my days at IG."

"I didn't have any results, but I was content with this life and I never thought about moving to another club."

"Some people say that IG is hopeful because of me, but I think. It's because of IG that I have the motivation to keep fighting. ”

Rookie smiled,

"Let's make each other better."

"I used to think that if I had a chance to make it to the Worlds, then I would definitely protect everything on IG."

"Ah...... But I still lost. ”

He smiled helplessly.

"Don't want to leave IG."

Rookie voiced her concerns.

"I don't want to, leave IG."

"IG has made me who I am, and I want to protect it until the very end."

"Until I can't move at all and am abandoned by IG."

"That's what I think."

He said to Xu Ruoguang seriously,

"Can you keep me on IG? My career may be coming to an end, so whether I can play or not, please let me stay at IG. ”

"I want to accompany IG to the end."

"Other clubs may be very good, and maybe I'm lucky to be able to go, but I don't like it."

"Is that okay?"

"Please."

He stood up and bowed to Xu Ruoguang seriously.

Xu Ruoguang was a little shocked at this time.

He hadn't thought that Rookie would actually think like this.

For Xu Ruoguang, his feelings for the club are relatively weak.

Because he hasn't played in any club except UR.

Naturally, it is impossible to have such a deep affection for any one club.

Rookie, on the other hand, is different.

No matter what kind of teammates, no matter what results, he still chooses to stay in IG, waiting for an almost impossible opportunity.

This kind of watchfulness of the club made Xu Ruoguang really shocked.

And IG fans are indeed worthy of him.

At this moment, after Rookie was listed, he was angrily sprinting to IG's official blog.

Go both ways.

This is the recognition that a player who has worked hard for five or six years deserves.

Rookie has already bet his youth and peak on IG.

Regrets.

Xu Ruoguang took a deep look at Rookie in front of him.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"You know, I probably won't even get a contract, after all, the starter is Faker."

Rookie straightened up and smiled freely.

"But so what? Originally, after the S10 play, I was ready to retire without renewing the contract, and I wouldn't have it without a contract. ”

At this time, the fate of the IG is not the same as the original IG.

Rookie has been waiting too long, S8 he has burned himself, but he still can't win the championship.

Now, there is no confidence to continue to persevere.

He just wanted to take a few more glances at IG and that's it.

Maybe one day he will put on his favorite IG team uniform, walk out of IG's base, and never go back.

But now, he wants to stay here.

“……”

Xu Ruoguang was a little silent for a while.

"Stay, I'll pay the fine."

A cold voice came from the door.

Xu Ruoguang turned his head and saw Lee Sang-hyuk leaning against the door frame.

He pushed his glasses with a calm expression.

"Stay, everyone is an old guy anyway, and there are not many of you."

"If it really exceeds the salary cap, I'll pay it."

Rookie and Lee Sang-hyuk's eyes fell on Xu Ruoguang in unison.

Xu Ruoguang: ......?

Xu Ruoguang looked at Lee Sang-hyuk and then at Rookie.

Pinch damn, how do you feel like I'm a villain, buddy?

He rubbed his face, "Are you serious?" Rookie is definitely going to play if he stays. ”

The thing he didn't say was, what do you do when you start?

But Lee Sang-hyuk understood what he meant.

"I went for a physical examination today, and I had some problems with my arm, and now the high-strength BO5 may be able to support, but the consequences will be serious."

Lee Sang-hyuk spoke flatly.

It's not like it's some career-destroying occupational disease, it's something like what you ate this morning.

"Now IG needs a mid-laner with a stronger line."

"Is it okay?"

Xu Ruoguang didn't care about anything else, and asked directly into his eyes.

No.

Lee Sang-hyuk originally wanted to deceive him like this.

But looking at Xu Ruoguang's serious eyes, he finally lowered his head.

"Can it be good...... But it takes a period of time to recuperate, and the doctor doesn't know how long. ”

"Actually, it's okay, the game can be played, I'll just hold it up a little longer."

He added.

However, Xu Ruoguang didn't seem to hear his later words.

Xu Ruoguang turned around and shook Rookie's hand with a smile.

"Welcome back to IG, Rookie."

Rookie was a little stunned, but nodded in surprise.

Xu Ruoguang got up and pulled Lee Sang-hyuk's arm.

"Elbow, follow me to the hospital."

Lee Sang-hyuk knew that this was the result, he suppressed the faint emotion in his heart, didn't care about the arm that was pulled, and said calmly while obeying you and following him.

"Don't worry."

"I'm also ready to retire after this year, and my hand shouldn't be scrapped, so it doesn't matter when the time comes."

"Shut up."

Xu Ruoguang turned a deaf ear.

"Don't worry about my form, I can really play, and my results won't be bad next year."

Lee Sang-hyuk sighed.

"What bullshit are you talking about?"

Xu Ruoguang finally turned around and scolded directly.

"Grades? Lao Tzu still lacks a fart grade! ”

"Compared to my friend's physical health, that's a fart!"

"Even if Lao Tzu falls in front of the World Championship this year, it doesn't matter if he is in the playoffs."

"But my good friend's body, can't have an accident."

"Let's go, check again and see if there's anything else wrong."

Lee Sang-hyuk's eyes were slightly red, and he quickly covered it up.

Skim your head.

"But, I want to make a result."

"We're going to win the championship, right?"

He said so.

Two words are omitted.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's check first!"

Xu Ruoguang said perfunctorily, and pulled Li Xianghe to check carefully.

The situation is not good.

Lee Sang-hyuk's occupational disease is far more serious than Xu Ruoguang imagined.

Not to mention that BO5 has been so long, even BO3 will have a faint pain in Lee Sang-hyuk's arm when it hits the third.

This is also the reason why he often made frequent mistakes in the third game before.

The most important thing for a professional player is the hands and arms.

If there is a problem in these two places, the strength will definitely not be able to be brought into play.

"Let's recuperate, Rookie will start."

He was silent for a long time before speaking.

"But it's ...... spring"

Lee Sang-hyuk was a little reckless.

"Don't say anything about the spring."

Xu Ruoguang's calm voice sounded.

"I don't care about the Worlds."

"There are many champions."

"My friend Lee Sang-hyuk, there is only one."
