Chapter 519: Regaining One's Loyalty and Pulling Down Others (Congratulations to BLG)
Recognizing the reality is a huge torture for Bang.
He has a delicate mind and likes to read, so the fact that Penicillin renewed his contract with Taobo is just a hot news that will become outdated to others, but it makes him look at his heart and feel painful.
The source of pain is not hate.
But it's self-indulgence.
I thought I had some weight.
As a result, when fans were fighting for Faker and venting their dissatisfaction to the management, few of them cared about what kind of treatment others received.
He was even thinking: He stayed in the team in the first place because he didn't want to see Sang Hyuk depressed, and wanted to play with his old friends in SKT until the end.
But the facts told him that this was just wishful thinking. Everyone's love for him largely comes from his ability to help Faker, rather than how charming he is as a person.
Maybe.
But rising to the level of the collective bargaining agreement, few people will remember him.
Just like what SKT fans are disappointed about is not that SKT didn't give them shares, but that Taobao gave them - to put it in high praise terms: Is SKT still SKT after losing Faker?
so…
If Penicillin has it, Faker should have it too, otherwise it would be ridiculous.
After all, Tangtang is one of the top players in the region and has been working in the industry for 5 years. During this period, he often attended business for SKT. As a result, in terms of value, it is not as good as others working in Taobao for half a year!
It doesn't make sense.
People like Faker shouldn't be the donkey who gets killed. In other words, when I think about Faker leaving his peak and career to SKT, but SKT is unwilling to share the future... fans are unhappy because of this.
The most fucked up thing is.
In the past two years, funds have not been as abundant as before. While talking about working together to overcome the difficulties, the manager also talked privately and wanted him to cut his salary...
but…
He's never been a max salary guy.
Moreover, he chose to stay with the team once despite being offered better treatment by the outside world. So, he has to accept the reality that the more he plays, the more he returns?
Sitting in front of the computer right now.
He recalled the most torturous days. It felt like winning the championship took away the vacation as well.
They are obviously exhausted physically and mentally, but they just don’t want to play in the meaningless K-Cup, but they only get a scolding sentence - do you want to disappoint them (the fans came to the scene to watch the first team’s game)?
question…
Knocking out the horse will also leave SKT.
In this world, no one is indispensable. The reason why you don’t want to be is just because you feel it’s not worth it. What he suffers from is that he is too easily moved by some righteousness.
I think that if I pay a lot, I will receive equal respect and rewards, but the reality is often the opposite.
That was the salary increase last time he won the championship.
The manager said a few nice words and talked about the team's future, but he didn't want to embarrass the club. It's just that he regards SKT as his family. If something happens, will SKT care for him like a family member?
This is just a reduction in sponsors, so he is asked to cut his salary.
If there are further reductions in the future, should we return to a model of no basic salary and relying entirely on performance sharing? The kind where you don’t get paid if you don’t enter the S competition?
When we work together, we feel like there are too few people, and when we eat, we feel like there are too many people... Is this home?
night.
Bang revealed his true feelings for the first time, saying that he wanted to test the transfer market. Seeing the manager's surprise, he suddenly felt relieved.
This feeling comes and goes quickly.
It’s just that the manager is no longer like before, saying things that look at someone. From this incident, Bang learned something: when there is no core conflict, whoever is thin-skinned will be more passive!
As long as he enters the free market, someone will definitely make a price, and this is his confidence.
That's how the world is anyway.
The more honest a person is, the easier it is for him to retreat again and again until there is no way out. He has already retired and has only a few years left to fight. If he doesn't think about himself, who will help him?
Maybe when this news gets fermented, I will be hated by some people. If you leave the team when it is at its lowest point, you will definitely not gain a good reputation.
Replace yourself with your old self.
He is very worried about this.
So when the coach said that the K Cup is also a game, and fans want to see the full lineup since it is a game, in order not to be annoying, he chose to overcome his depression and play a game that he didn't know the use of, which actually aggravated his condition...
possible.
When the sun sets tomorrow, the team will help him find a substitute and let him help lead the team, just like what Wolf is doing now.
That’s fine…
he thought.
He is preparing to squeeze out time to catch up on TV series and movies.
On the second day.
The expected thing hadn't happened yet, but Wolf came to chat with him.
"You didn't know it when you were upstairs just now."
When Wolf said this, he had a wicked sense of humor: "That guy Shan Jiu (Blank) was made to cry!"
"Why?"
“I listened to a few of them as I walked by.”
Wolf was very happy: "After all these years, I still get shakes when playing games. In short, I feel that he is not suitable for starting, but there is no one now, otherwise he will probably be transferred to the second team."
"oh."
Bang's performance was bland.
"Aren't you even surprised?" Wolf pretended to be angry.
"It's not that I'm not surprised, but I've encountered a lot of things these days." Bang explained casually.
At the same time, he was also thinking: Since he stopped partnering with Wolf, apart from feeling a little nostalgic at first, he seems to have gotten used to it now. Perhaps, he could adapt to the new life better than he thought, but he just wasn't looking forward to it.
Wolf's eyes lit up, and he bumped Bang with his shoulder, grinning: "You are talking about Penicillin's contract renewal, right?"
"Oh."
Wolf sighed: "I don't have this fate. I'll be a streamer in the future and mess with you guys in the live broadcast room."
"That's too much, you also eat the black traffic." Bang joked.
"There will always be someone who eats this traffic, why can't it be me." Wolf grinned: "Don't worry, in my mouth, you must be the first AD, not that guy IMP can compare."
"Okay, you lead me in this rhythm, I wish I would die."
"Are you scared?"
"Not really."
Bang turned around and walked away, not wanting to continue this bad taste topic. Seeing Bang like this, Wolf turned around and hummed a cheerful little song.
Regarding the outside public opinion.
He just thinks Penicillin is lucky.
After all, in the traditional three major balls, not many people can get shares. Apart from a few words, I would never dream of such a dream.
But...
Is the team shareholder amazing? !
~~~
On the other side.
Bang found that the management's attitude had not become colder, but a little more distant, and the way they spoke was no longer that kind of commanding.
Bang thought hard and felt that the biggest difference might be that he would not be bound now. The only thing SKT could do was to find someone to replace him and not let him play.
But...
SKT's finances were not healthy...
He did not tear his face off, but just tactfully expressed that he wanted to know what the market thought of him. So, just because he refused, the management became official and did not hold him hostage so much?
This... Bang felt very complicated.
~~~
Online.
The issue of Faker's treatment has already become a hot topic on INS, and countless viewers have expressed their opinions, and most people think that Faker deserves a higher level of labor-management agreement.
Again, the same words.
Everything is afraid of comparison.
"Ashiba."
The boss walked around the office, cursing: "I really want to find a reporter and publicly scold them."
"Top Esports is really not doing this right. I seriously suspect that this is a marketing campaign to expand its influence while allowing the audience to compare."
The manager was indignant.
"What should we do now? The popularity is getting higher and higher."
Opening the forum, everyone is saying that he is stingy, and they are also saying that donkeys are precious and can be used as medicine even when they die.
"Anyway, it expires next year..."
"Can we not express our views?" The boss questioned: "The statement was sent out yesterday, and netizens didn't buy it."
The manager squeezed out a bitterness: "The main reason is that Topsports has left the outside world with a very generous and humane impression - they are trying to grab our ecological niche."
Also two championships.
Also have the top players in the region, and the ticket value is huge.
Before Topsports made a false move, domestic and foreign audiences took SKT as a weather vane, but now, Topsports has taken one step further than SKT in terms of labor-capital relations.
Those past marketing speeches about how well SKT treats its players.
They are completely no match for real money.
What's more.
SKT is a giant in the league field, no one else.
Once the public relations are not good and it becomes a crisis, it will definitely damage the image of the club.
This is also the reason why the entertainment industry is taboo about being suppressed.
Once this happens.
No matter how you explain it, it's wrong. It's just being lowered for no reason. It's true that Topsports has just been established and has no foundation, but they've been marketing it vigorously. I don't know how many marketing accounts have come out to sing praises for Topsports.
"So..."
SKT's major shareholder chatted: "If we make the relevant intention public, will the moral pressure be transferred?"
The manager saw that the major shareholder's tone had softened, and suggested: "If you do this, you can delay it for a while."
The manager knows the fans' psychology well: "Because they are all following the trend and scolding now, after a while, the other side still holds on to this matter, and we release the news again, the fans will think that the other side is making trouble."
"Well..."
"If you want to handle it well, you still need guidance."
"Yes."
"If you do this at the first time, fans are likely to think that this is a victory won by forcing the palace, which will weaken the club's image and the effect of giving shares. After all...Topsports is ahead of us."
After thinking about this, the major shareholder scolded Topsports for being shameless.
He didn't want to give shares at all.
But being dragged to this point by public opinion, and receiving a phone call from the e-sports association in the morning, he had no choice but to show up. He thought: I should quickly introduce investors and become a small shareholder.
The investment in this industry is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't afford it anymore...
~~~
"According to insiders, Topsports has already made a profit during the MSI period..."
"Topsports only gives a nominal salary, but we all know that live broadcasting and business are still in the hands of Penicillin."
"Forbes's list of elites under 30 is well deserved."
"..."
In the afternoon.
Cvmax read the news for a while, then took a simple shower, and then slowly went to the training room to review the MSI finals.
Arrived at the door.
Kouma glanced at him with a sidelong glance, and Cvmax rubbed his hands and suddenly laughed: "Did you see today's hot search (INS)?"
"What?" Kouma knew that Cvmax wanted to show off, so he waited so calmly.
"Alas, seeing SKT being forced out by fans, I feel bad."
Kouma:...
Be a human being!
"What does SKT have to do with you?" Kuma rolled his eyes.
"Why doesn't it matter?"
Cvmax was shocked: "It is the best club certified by Riot Games. It is the pride of LCK and is closely related to the industry."
"Then what?"
"It's harmful." Cvmax sighed: "If it doesn't work, the traffic will drop. If the traffic drops, who needs a coach."
Kuan Ma chuckled and continued walking inside.
After a while.
Cvmax added: "I don't know if Xiao Hao will be affected. He has been a bit in the limelight recently."
Dunma: "Are you still afraid of this?"
"..."
There was silence for 2 seconds.
Kuan Ma followed his eyes and saw a familiar figure from behind. It was 2:30 in the afternoon, not too early or too late, but because of the travel, they gave the players two days off.
so…
If you can gather in the training room before three o'clock today, you will be considered to be on time. Qin Hao and Jin Gong always like to be ahead of schedule.
"...I haven't played much during this period, and I fell down again (ranking)."
Qin Hao was not affected much by his new identity.
He doesn't think that if he holds less than 10% of the shares, he will be able to enjoy the day and night. Besides, he only likes to show off in front of his friends.
And since getting penicillin.
He was used to the amount of training that others saw as more tiring. No one bothers me, and I don’t want to play around, so I’m rarely late.
Or rather.
Over the past two and a half years, Qin Hao has developed a fixed routine. The trajectory of life is like a train track, running life day after day.
in addition.
Maybe it's a lack of security.
He always felt that if he didn't practice, he would be sorry for the system, and he was also afraid that one day his achievements would be taken back, and he would become that ordinary king player again——
For him, practicing heroes is a pastime and enjoyment. Going out to play other games is very tiring. Every time he goes to compete in other places, the most difficult thing is the various transfers.
At the same time, the Korean server has been updated to version 8.11, but the MSI is 8.8. After browsing the specific update rules, Qin Hao couldn't wait to enter the canyon and compete with the masters.
Before creating specific matchups without the help of the system.
Qin Hao tried hard to find the central idea that the designer wanted to express from muscle memory, and then tried to use this kind of thinking to understand the current Summoner's Rift and find the winning rate code.
certainly.
Before the coach comes.
He has played several games but hasn't figured out much. Because he found that what the designer wanted to express might be to cut the heroes according to MSI's high appearance, and then go backwards.
For example, the bottom lane ecology, which was criticized by the audience in the Spring Split, has now been enhanced.
In addition to endless callbacks, it also adds a fast charging speed, giving those ADs who rely on basic attack output in the traditional sense a chance to play.
Other than that, it’s just all kinds of cutting and cutting.
Thain's level 1 ultimate move has been extended, the shield algorithm has been weakened, Zoe's casting interval has been increased, and the short Q also starts to require some anticipation, including Enchantress, Pig Girl, Captain, Ornn, Jace, and ez, all got it weakened to a certain extent.
Can still play.
But it could have been more OP.
Seeing Qin Hao like this.
Cvmax's heart fell back into his stomach. Then he entered the review and saw that Xiaohuahua and Mark were still looking like champions, so he put a lot of pressure on——
“Details determine success or failure!”
"You don't think that if you win a hand in the final, your Rakan will be fine, right? This hand is for a dog, and the dog knows to back away. You have no vision information, why don't you keep E's position? Who taught you to play Rakan like this? ”
"Wanghu, are you used to controlling the map and forgetting how to apply pressure in the jungle? Look at your jungle plan this time... the opponent is so disadvantaged, you can let him develop. Why not counterattack if you can, etc. Are you trying to make a comeback?"
"What use do you, Xiba, see in me?!"
Wanghu felt a little dizzy.
He wiped the spittle from his face and shouted angrily: "I can't think about everything so carefully!"
"But Xin Zhao of yours, you were fine in the first two waves. You knew how to make changes and focus on helping the lane. But what are you doing later? If it weren't for the fact that this mid-to-upper advantage wasn't big enough, you would have been sleepwalking through it again. "
Cvmax can always be sprayed on point.
This is the reason why Langx often has a red temperature.
"Tell me, have you got a Tool Man in your head? Don't finish your wild area, don't want to cross the river? Are you here to play the game?"
Little Peanut:......
"mine…"
Little Peanut's pride disappeared, and his expression returned to calm.
"snort."
"One advantage of labor and management is that they don't scold people for no reason! If I scold you, it shows that you are not clear-headed, so you should be scolded!"
This is not the first time Cvmax has humiliated its players.
It won't be the last time either.
However, as TaoBo concentrated on preparing for the summer split, the new round of publicity and news about the transfer period made people uneasy.
