"So who will be our 2018 Finals FMVP winner?" Emperor Roaring Xiao threw out a question, and the audience at the scene held their breath.

"That's—"

“theshy！

！

”

As theshy's name blurted out, the audience waved glow sticks, shining lights reflected in the venue, and endless shouts brought enthusiasm and cheers!

theshy！

Finals FMVP.

There is no doubt about it.

Whether it is the river sword demon 1v4 heavenly god descending to earth, or the dominance of the entire world race on the road, he has proven himself.

After Liu Shuai heard this, he also showed a blooming smile.

He had known the outcome for a long time.

Liu Shuai himself is not very interested in the winner of FMVP, on the one hand, he himself has won this honor in S7.

On the other hand, Brother Shy is also worthy of this hand FMVP.

After cheering, the official head of Riot first handed out the championship trophy to everyone, and then gave Theshy a separate FMVP trophy.

After a series of testimonials, IG ended this time the World Finals perfectly!

……

In the LOL TV station, the barrage was boiling for a while.

Especially for the winners of the FMVP, there is a lot of controversy.

"Although it makes sense to give theshy, I think it's better to give it to handsome."

"Riot is selfish, he doesn't want Handsome to be a legend like Faker, so he gave Theshy FMVP."

"Upstairs is pure embarrassment, fist can't wait for handsome to become a legend, so that lol can develop deeper and farther, the performance of handsome in the finals of this world championship can only be said to be more average, especially compared to last year's handsome, although he is very strong, but there is no longer that feeling that makes my eyes shine."

"It's true that this BO5, Handsome's performance has not reached his highest level, and it is no problem to fmvp Brother Shy."

"It's good to win the championship, but who is the FMVP? Faker three-time Finals champion, does he have three FMVPs? And even if Handsome didn't get the FMVP, the honor of the double championship is already a dream for many players. ”

"I think it's very reasonable, theshy's performance last year was actually very eye-catching, but FMVP gave Haheshy to make up one, which is very reasonable!"

"Hehe, I want to say, FMVP is not a good thing, you think about handsome last year to get FMVP, and the fist was pressed against the auxiliary target, this year theshy took FMVP, I feel that the ecological environment of next year's order may have to change."

"When you say that, I am suddenly relieved, hahahaha!"

“……”

The ceremony of awarding trophies to the FMVP ended quickly.

On the occasion of the group photo, the words [IG won the championship] rushed directly to the hot search.

In addition, the second hot search, [Defending Champion IG]

The third hot search, [How terrifying is the IG that won the championship]

Hot search fourth, [FMVP theshy]

Hot search fifth, [skt ig]

……

Although I don't know who bought the fifth hot search and what it means, it seems to have a related legend in it.

At this moment, after IG returned to the backstage, he was interviewed by reporters after the game.

The domestic media big e-sports asked the same question last year: "Congratulations to IG for successfully defending the title, I want to ask, which skin do the players plan to choose as their second championship skin next?" ”

Theshy held up the microphone: "It's a pity that I couldn't play Raven, since the Sword Demon has created a famous scene for me, let's choose Akali!" ”

“？？？”

"What are you talking about?!

”

“hy！

Why don't you choose Sword Demon? ”

LOL TV

The barrage is full of question marks.

Even the members of the team who were sitting in IG glanced at theshy a few times and laughed secretly.

"This guy can really torture fans!" Liu Shuai shook his head and said happily in his heart.

"What about Ning?" The reporter asked emotionlessly.

"Green Steel Shadow."

"I'm a knife girl." Rookie said.

JKL thought for a moment: "I could be Kaisha?" ”

Liu Shuai thought for a while: "I didn't get the hammer stone last year, maybe I chose the hammer stone this year?" I'm not sure, but I have to think about it. ”

Liu Shuai's answer once again changed the direction of the barrage.

"Robot: After all, I paid the wrong ......"

"I thought theshy was so ruthless, but it turned out that handsome was even more ruthless, don't you know that your signature hero is a robot?!

！ ”

"I'm blanching, when will the robot have a skin, I've been talking about it for two years, but this guy still doesn't choose the robot!"

"Looking at Handsome's expression, it feels like he's joking, and he shouldn't choose Hammerstone."

"I also feel like he's joking, Hammerstone is unlikely to choose, after all, Mata already has a hammerstone skin in the S4 season!"

"It's not a hammerstone...... It must be a robot! Choose a robot to buy out/love/love"

“……”

After a post-match interview, the interview ended quickly.

The LPL official is also ushering in a ready celebration theme.

Two world champions, IG, enrich the League of Legends client.

The five starters, holding medals hanging around their necks, were smiling and high-spirited.

Zhangmeng, Twitter, Hupu, and Tieba have all promoted their homepages to celebrate IG's second crown.

At the same time, the IG championship celebration was launched again.

All heroes and some skins can be played for free for three days;

Purple gems in the mall are half price for a limited time;

The Hero Skins of the Champion Lineup are half price for a limited time.

The IG Champion Skin Chest, which contains a soon-to-be-released KDA Akali skin, congratulates Theshy on his World Championship FMVP.

2017 + 2018 IG Champion Skin Group Buying Event, Stay Tuned (PS: This is very much in line with the horse suit).

At the same time, domestic CCTV news once again forwarded congratulations to IG.

"Congratulations to IG on winning the 2018 League of Legends World Championship, they successfully defended their title after winning the World Championship in 2017, let's congratulate IG again!"

……

After IG won the championship, he was preparing for a celebration banquet.

Su Xiaoluo suddenly picked up a phone call, and the smile on his face was sad.

Although he didn't see the change in Su Xiaoluo's mood during the follow-up meal, he always felt that he was worried and had something on his mind.

The team asked him, but he didn't say anything.

Until the end of the celebration banquet, on the way back to the hotel, Liu Shuai came over and reported to Su Xiaoluo: "You go back first, I have to stay in South Korea for two days." ”

Going to Faker's house is something that has been agreed before.

Su Xiaoluo nodded: "Pay attention to safety, and return to China immediately after the visit." ”

Liu Shuai smiled: "Okay." ”

Just as Liu Shuai was about to turn around and go back to the hotel to pack his things and go to Seoul with Perkz, Su Xiaoluo suddenly stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Liu Shuai turned around and asked.

Su Xiaoluo seemed to have a mental struggle, and then asked, "I remember that your contract was renewed for two years, right?" ”

Liu Shuai suddenly wondered: "Why are you asking this?" ”

Then he replied: "It's been renewed for two years, and there is no need to renew the contract this year." ”

Su Xiaoluo breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then you can pack your luggage!" ”

After Liu Shuai glanced at Su Xiaoluo a few times, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't think so much about winning the championship now.

After returning to the hotel, Liu Shuai watched Perkz carrying a suitcase and waiting at the door of his hotel.

"Hi, bro, I've kept you waiting." Liu Shuai saw that Perkz was in a good mental state, so he greeted him in a funny way.

Perkz Little Bear spread his hands and said a very heart-wrenching sentence: "It's okay, after all, there is no celebration banquet for losers." ”

Liu Shuai was stunned, and he could see that Perkz was ridiculing himself.

But I always felt that there was sadness in this sentence, but Liu Shuai didn't mention it specifically.

"You're recovering very quickly."

"It's okay, after all, we knew the result before the game."

Liu Shuai played "haha" and continued: "Don't say such sad words, you have to think like this, it is your good buddy who loses, and you should be happy if your good buddy wins." ”

"Hee-hee-hee-hee, I'm so happy!" Perkz started his own language model.

It is no longer clear whether he is really happy or falsely happy.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that...... Have you had dinner? ”

"Ate a little."

"Let's go, I'll take you to supper!"

"Didn't you go to dinner?"

"It's a gathering, but I have a custom in LPL, that is, I like to invite others to dinner."

When Perkz heard this, he instantly became interested: "Who have you invited to dinner?" ”

"Most of the LPL auxiliaries have been eaten."

Perkz's first reaction: "So rich? ”

Liu Shuai smiled: "It's not, they have an agreement with me, that is, whoever loses wins the treat, I basically haven't lost in the league, so most of them are my treats." ”

When Perkz heard this, he reacted: "So I lost, and you're going to invite me to dinner?" ”

"Hahahaha~ You just say whether to go or not!" Liu Shuai laughed heartily.

Perkz did not hesitate: "Of course you have to eat~"

……

While the two were eating, the other members of the IG team and the staff had already taken the booked plane tickets back to the magic capital.

ig base.

It seems to be full of celebrations, welcoming the team members who have returned victoriously.

In fact, there are some areas where the atmosphere is tense.

For example, the current management of IG.

In the past few days, IG has been holding meetings, mainly analyzing not the next direction of the team's operation, nor the prospect of the team's development, but an official document issued by the alliance.

Because of this official document, the IG management was anxious, and Principal Wang couldn't sleep well in the past few days.

At this time, in the IG management boardroom.

Principal Wang looked at Su Xiaoluo, who had just come back, and said, "I already told you when I called yesterday, how do you think we should make reasonable use of the selection process in the future, so that everyone can fall into a good situation." ”

Su Xiaoluo's eyes were dark, and he didn't sleep well last night.

The main reason is that the official document issued by the alliance said that next year's LPL will implement a salary cap system.

For a normal team, the total amount of the allocation contract within the team cannot exceed 5000w.

The champion team is limited to 7000w.

Just this salary cap system makes it difficult for IG, which has just won the championship.

7000w, an average of five people down, it is 1400w.

It's still about getting rid of the substitutions.

Add to that the substitution contract, and the player's contract will become even more strained.

You must know that now in the IG championship five-person group, the value of each player is no less than 300W US dollars.

Superstars like theshy and handsome must be at least $600w or more.

At present, the quota of 7000W is obviously not enough to renew the IG five-person group.

"Principal Wang, that's the case, I've already thought about it, although we only give so much salary to the players on the surface, we can give the players salary in other ways, such as advertising fees, live broadcast contracts, endorsements, through special channels, so that the players can achieve the salary they want, so that if we solve it, we can smoothly renew the contracts of all players."

Principal Wang smiled slightly: "The idea is very good, but ......"

"This morning, the official document of the alliance made up for what you just said, 7000w is all the salaries of all people, including all the contracts together."

"Uh......" Su Xiaoluo was a little embarrassed.

Principal Wang saw that Su Xiaoluo had nothing to say: "Then the problem now is very clear, we can only keep 3 players at most in 7000w, and we must give up one of theshy or handsome, and then through recruitment, the salary will be supplemented to other positions." ”

When Su Xiaoluo heard this, he felt that something was wrong.

theshy and handsome are the two major flows of ig pure pure gold absorption.

It's a loss to let any of them out.

Even if other divisions issue top-level contracts, such as SKT spending 100 million to buy theshy or handsome, the commercial value is still not a loss!

At this time, Su Xiaoluo cautiously asked, "Then if we leave theshy and handsome, how much budget do we have left?" ”

Principal Wang stretched out a finger: "Ten million." ”

"And this is still a case where Haheshy has affection for the team, and there should be no problem for them to stay in the team for 30 million per person."

After the implementation of the salary cap, the budget of 30 million is already a very, very high renewal price.

Other teams spent 30 million to buy a star player, and the remaining four players could only make up 2000w, which was really harsh on other players.

With an average price of 500w, you can't even form a team above the midstream.

And theshy and handsome are at their peak, and they definitely don't want to go to teams that can't win championships.

And if you want to win the championship, and you have team members, other teams can give a price of up to 2500w.

3000w belongs to the benevolence and righteousness.

However, handsome is a bit miserable.

The contract of nearly 200 million was renewed for two years, and it was directly reduced to one-third in the second year, making so much less money, and it is indeed like the league is targeting top players like handsome.

However, the salary cap also has the benefit of a salary cap.

Only by spending a reasonable price and building a top team can the environment of the entire league become better.

The current players renew their contracts for 30 million or 40 million at every turn, and the players' requirements for performance are not so strong.

If it's so easy to make money, what's the use of dreaming?

Isn't it honest that money is not fragrant?

Isn't it just a little bit of online violence.

In a few years, the clouds will clear and everything will pass.

The setting of the salary cap is to give these players more motivation to work hard, instead of taking high salaries and messing around with traffic.

Implement a salary cap now, at least not to make the LPL worse and worse in the future.

Early implementation, early enjoyment, early mediation.

It's just that IG is on the cusp.

For the other 15 clubs in the league to benefit, then you can't change any club.

The budget of 7000w is completely sufficient for an ordinary team to win the championship.

Generally, there are two top players in the team, the price is 2000w, and the remaining three players are in the price of 1000w.

This is normal.

However, the IG team is not normal.

There are many reasons for this.

First, IG is the first team to win the championship in the LPL, with extremely high commercial value and a fuller fan effect.

It can be said that winning the championship has absorbed most of the LPL's traffic!

It can be seen from the number of Weibo fans that the original IG official blog fans only had more than 100W, and most of them were brushed, but now the IG official blog has directly exceeded 700W, which has increased by 7 times.

Who can say that this commercial value is not high?

In this case, the players who come out of it tend to have a higher renewal price, which is beyond doubt.

The second is that the renewal price before S8 was set too high.

is like IG, Liu Shuai needless to say, 100 million renewal.

Theshy and Rookie are both gambling agreements with a base of 40 million.

theshy is slightly higher, forty-five million.

Even if it is ning, it is 25 million renewals.

There is only JKL in the team, and it is eight million sign-in.

The minimum contract within the team is eight million.

After S8 implements the salary cap system, you can reduce the price, but if it is lower than before winning the championship...... This is simply unreasonable.

Just like the current IG, the allocation of 7000W is divided like this.

Liu Shuai 3000W, Theshy 2000W, Rookie 1000W, Ning500W, then JKL can't always be 500W, right?

And Ning is not happy, why should I only get a salary of 500w in IG for the double champion jungler?

Rookie also has something to say, the world's No. 1 midlaner, only deserves to get a contract of 10 million?

So regarding this wave of contract issues, IG management has not been able to deal with it properly for several days.

And improper handling means that the five-member group will definitely fall apart after IG wins the championship in S8!
