"I'm still fighting for it."

"If we can raise the salary cap a little more, we can try to keep everyone, and we will keep everyone."

"If it can't be raised, then we have to discuss who goes and who stays."

"When the time comes, Su Xiaoluo will be responsible for this matter and communicate well with the team members."

"Of course, if the players are willing to take a pay cut to stay, saying that it is to win the S9 world championship, I will always apply to our league official quota next year, and strive to apply for the quota."

"Okay, this year's meeting is right here, if you have any ideas, feel free to call or email me."

After listening to President Wang's words, the major management of IG also packed up their desktops and left the meeting.

And Su Xiaoluo, as the leader who is most familiar with the team members, is very tricky for him to face such a choice.

Just like Principal Wang said, if the salary cap cannot be raised, it is impossible for all five players to stay in IG.

Theshy and Handsome do have the option to take a pay cut, but the problem is, some of the prices are really not suitable.

For example, Uzi can get a salary of 2500W in the RNG team, and Haheshy, who is the double champion and the ultimate Kerry game, and has FMVP, and the traffic is also full, only gets a salary of 2000W, which is obviously unreasonable.

It's true that playing professionally is for honor, but when the value is enough, to reduce the salary to an unacceptable salary to keep people, the players themselves must be unbalanced.

Moreover, even if Theshy and Handsome only get 20 million, then the remaining JKL, Ning, and Rookie together get 30 million, and the average contract is only 10 million, and the three players will definitely not do it.

Because if you go to other teams, you can get at least 1500-1800w salary, such as Rookie, and even 2000-2200w salary.

Ten million, obviously unacceptable.

Those five players couldn't accept it in their hearts, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't keep it.

Therefore, Su Xiaoluo could only wait for news from Principal Wang.

If Principal Wang can raise the price of the salary cap, even if it is only 10 million, it will be enough to retain people.

Aside from theshy and handsome, it would be easy to negotiate if you mention 1500w to any two of the remaining three players, and then terminate the contract with the remaining one, and you can also mention the salary again.

Now the situation of IG is that 7000W can only sign theshy + handsome, and the remaining three are indebted.

In other words, theshy goes with one of the traffic stars in handsome, and the remaining two can be left, the champion team is reserved, and S9 can still rush.

Of course, if both Theshy and Handsome go, then IG has more money to bring in reinforcements or make money.

But this is unlikely, and the two traffic dividends will be released at the same time, and the traffic of IG will be cut in half.

If you leave two or one of them, with the gimmick of FMVP, you can still eat traffic interest for at least a few years.

And the choice depends on Su Xiaoluo, the manager.

After the team members leave, they have to go to the market to find suitable candidates.

This series of troubles made Su Xiaoluo feel a headache.

But fortunately, the official announcement of this news alliance has not yet been officially announced to the public, and if the audience learns that IG is about to fall apart, they will have to face a wave of pressure from public opinion.

That's another big headache......

October 4th.

Liu Shuai took Perkz and the two prepared to take the train to Seoul.

Perkz was on his way to visit Faker, and he also took photos with Liu Shuai and tweeted.

"I'm going to go with the HA base!"

While fans saw Perkz's good mental state, it was also a joke.

"You kid, if you can't win the championship, you can climb to the championship, right, it's a handsome and a faker, what do you want to do?"

"Hahaha, perkz can publish an autobiography, the name is "Me and My Champion Friends", hahahahaha~"

"How much magic does a handsome have? Perkz actually became friends with the player who beat him, and even went on a sightseeing tour of the SKT base together, you really have a big heart! ”

"If I were Perkz, I would hate handsome, but obviously, I'm not."

"Will there be a live broadcast when we arrive?"

“……”

At the same time, Liu Shuai also posted a Weibo coldly, saying that he was visiting the SKT base with Perkz and visiting Lao Li by the way.

The comments below asked him to open an outdoor live broadcast.

Liu Shuai did not refuse, after all, he also said in the interview before that he would start a live broadcast when he won the championship and went to Faker's house to visit.

……

After a long journey, Liu Shuai lay with his neck aching and finally came to Seoul.

In front of the SKT base.

The logo of the University is printed on the top of the SKT building.

Liu Shuai greeted Lee Sang-hyuk in advance, and also saw Lee Sang-hyuk and Coach Buckle Horse, Bang and Blank at the gate of the base.

The former world's No. 1 auxiliary wolf did not come.

Liu Shuai in his previous life had also heard that Wolf was a pure Korean wolf warrior, and he was naturally very unhappy when he saw Liu Shuai, a Chinese who won the double championship.

So there will also be no show at the SKT base today.

"Hi ~ Sanghyuk!

Liu Shuai first said hello, and then shook hands with several other players and the legendary coach.

The buckle coach was full of smiles, and I have to say that looking at the buckle horse up close, it really has a bit of Wang Leehom's taste.

"Hello, I'm Perkz!" Ah P also said hello.

Next, several people chatted and entered the base, and the coach of the horse was also very warm to the two players who came to SKT as guests.

"Would you like to take a tour of our base?" Lee Sang-hyuk said to the two.

"Delightfully." Perkz's smile hung on his face.

Liu Shuai also nodded: "Then let's take a look at SKT's base first!" ”

Turn left at the entrance and you will see the SKT showroom.

The exhibition hall part is really the envy of Liu Shuai and Ah P.

Three S trophies, two MSI trophies, and seven league titles.

Not to mention the S and MSI trophies, 7 league championships alone are already an honor that many professional players cannot reach.

Liu Shuai and Ah P are okay, after all, both of them often win league honors in their respective leagues.

And the silver S race trophy and MSI trophy made Ah P very envious.

After the two of them looked at the SKT showroom, they turned the glass door to the SKT canteen.

Their cafeteria has a buffet style.

Each dish is divided into a checkered pot, and the contestants can eat whatever they want.

Next to it is the snack area, which has a variety of cooked foods, such as potato chips, sausages, chocolate, spicy strips, instant noodles, etc., all of which are emergency snacks for the contestants.

And, most outrageously, they also have a display screen in the cafeteria, which plays their most recent defeat or training match every day, and uses this method to warn their players.

This is really quite terrifying......

Then go upstairs to the rest room of SKT.

A pool table with several computers and a soft sleeper sofa where you can lie down and rest is right next to you.

At this time, Lee Sang-hyuk pointed to the computer next to him and said, "Do you want to solo and feel this long-screen computer?" ”

Liu Shuai looked at Lee Sang-hyuk's fingers, and found that the computer screen placed here was long, and in terms of area, it should be able to accommodate three normal 15.6-inch computer screens.

"Come on, come on, Brother Xianghe, let's play a game." Perkz was very welcoming.

Lao Li did not refuse.

After the two fought a Longkeng Mondo kitchen knife battle, Perkz also won smoothly.

And he also asked Liu Shuai to take this short video, and tweeted happily: "I won the world's No. 1 mid-laner faker." ”

Then I took another look at where SKT was training.

They train in the hall, and there are several small compartments outside the hall, which are the small spaces where each player usually ranks and belongs to them.

It's like faker is usually in this small space when he is live broadcasting.

After visiting the entire SKT base, Lee Sang-hyuk took Yoo Shuai and Pekrz back to the main hall.

"How?" Tsundere Lao Li shows off his base.

"It's luxurious." Perkz's pertinent assessment.

Liu Shuai said: "If you just invited me to sleep on that comfortable sofa, I think the experience would be better." ”

Faker continued to say tsundere: "Then next time I wait for you to come, let you sleep well." ”

At this time, blank turned into a tool man and delivered water to Liu Shuai and Ah P.

Buckle, Faker, and Bang all sat down, and the five of them started chatting mode.

Buckle Ma opened his mouth to talk about transfers: "Handsome, do you have any transfer ideas for next season?" ”

Handsome was taken aback and teased: "Could it be that SKT is planning to bring in a Chinese player?" ”

"Uh...... If you want to come, I will apply to the upper management. ”

Liu Shuai laughed: "I'm sorry, I renewed my contract for two years, if you S10 invites me, I still have the idea of considering, and now your team is not short of assistance." ”

After Kuma understood what Liu Shuai meant, he didn't say much, and then he looked at Perkz: "We won't invite you if you say it, after all, he is here." ”

Buckle Ma pointed at Faker.

Perkz also understood in his heart, and smiled: "Haha, you continue to talk." ”

Buckle Ma didn't play sloppy anymore, and said directly: "If you don't come, you can ask theshy, who has not yet renewed the contract of your team, and we are willing to give a very suitable price." ”

"Uh......" Liu Shuai watched the buckle horse digging the foot of the wall in front of him, and always felt a little inauthentic.

As if he saw it, he continued: "Anyway, your IG will definitely disband next season, if you are really good for Theshy, SKT may be his warmest harbor." ”

“？？？” Liu Shuai looked confused.

"Disbanded?"

"Why was it disbanded?"

Liu Shuai thought that e-sports Wang Leehom was joking with him.

And the buckle horse said very seriously: "Don't you know? There will be a big move in the LPL division next year, you will adopt a salary cap system, IG two-championship teams, the price must not be negotiated, Theshy comes to SKT, on the one hand, you can get a big contract, on the other hand, with players like Faker to compete next season, the potential of Theshy players will continue to shine. ”

At this time, faker smiled and muttered: "theshy once scolded me in hanbok, I always remember it!" ”

Grudge Lee suddenly went online.

And Liu Shuai here, his face is full of shock!

Salary cap!

！

He doesn't know why the league has adopted a salary cap system, but he does know that once the salary cap system is in place, the IG team will most likely be disbanded or rebuilt around one or two players, but without their stable five-man group, it will take some time to win the championship or adapt to the new lineup.

And IG had to give up theshy or himself, and use the vacated money to replenish the other players!

No wonder......

No wonder on the day of winning the championship, Su Xiaoluo was worried, it turned out that Su Xiaoluo had already known about the salary cap!

Liu Shuai didn't think about it deeply, but put this matter up first, and waited until he returned to China to inquire and deal with it.

After a bunch of people continued to talk for a while, the coach got up and left.

Seeing that only the four of them were left in the house, Faker proposed, "Why don't we go to the nearest playground now?" Then go to my house tomorrow! ”

Several people have no opinion.

On the way, I met a lot of SKT female fans.

I have to say that the quality of female fans is really high.

In the process, Liu Shuai also chatted with Bang from games to life.

Bang told Liu Shuai that he was going to rest for a while.

He may have to leave SKT next and go to North America at the end of his career to pan for gold.

After all, during the SKT period, 13-14 hours of daily training a day is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Bang is visibly tired.

Faker and Perkz also began to share their experiences.

While chatting and playing, two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"I'm so thirsty, Lao Li." Liu Shuai's lips were cold by the cold wind and turned purple from the cold.

Fortunately, he wore more clothes, but even so, his lips were still chapped and the cold wind was blowing.

Lee Sang-hyuk was very generous: "Okay, today I invite us to drink Coke!" ”

"It's rare, Sang-hyuk!" Liu Shuai has the impression that Lao Li Ke is a very slamming person!

It's rare to be able to say that you can take the initiative to treat you!

You must know that he is playing the little game of building bridges, and he has to find a way to cut corners, not to mention that in reality, more than 100 unpretentious clothes sent by fans have been worn until now, and a warehouse has been saved.

He lives a very frugal life, and today he actually had a treat.

A minute later, Lee Sang-hyuk walked up to the three with a 250ml bottle of Coke.

Liu Shuai glanced at his left hand, which was empty.

In his right hand, there is only a bottle of Coke.

Old Li Tou, what about the four of us? You're going to buy a bottle of Coke?!

Perkz's expression was also very surprised, and he was also surprised, faker said to treat him, and the four of them drank a bottle of Coke.

Bang didn't have much of a change in expression.

After all, he is most familiar with faker, and he can imagine that Lao Li can do this kind of thing.

Liu Shuai couldn't laugh or cry.

Isn't that what happened inside Nima's 2019 SKT team? How did it come to me!

Damn, Lee Sang-hyuk!

！

In the end, the four of them could only drink the bottle of Coke in one sip.

……

In the evening, Perkz and Liu Shuai stayed in the nearest hotel for one night, and the computer in the hotel could not play League of Legends.

"Hey Liu Shuai, when will you come back?"

Liu Shuai replied: "About the day after tomorrow." ”

Su Xiaoluo said "um", then was silent for two seconds, and said, "I'm going to tell you something very important next!"

”

Liu Shuai suddenly laughed: "Are you going to talk about the salary cap?" ”

"Huh? How do you know? Su Xiaoluo was surprised.

Liu Shuai briefly explained to Su Xiaoluo that SKT wanted to dig the corner of Theshy this afternoon.

After hearing this, Su Xiaoluo immediately became anxious: "You let them die, theshy can't let them dig it up!"

”
