Chapter 288 I will prove who is the best in the world...
"Fuck, you scared me."
"Brother Jie is too confident."
"It's not a good idea to say it so early. What if I get slapped in the face?"
"What are you afraid of? Is there anyone who can compare to Brother Jie's strength?"
"This year's LZ team is not easy to deal with. SKT bought back Ma Run but still couldn't beat them."
"That's right."
"What's wrong with LZ? When we meet, I'll show you who is the God Father."
“That makes sense!”
The barrage of comments was flying.
Take SKT as a reference.
The LZ (Longzhu) team, which has emerged as a dark horse in the LCK region, does seem to have the strength to threaten EDG.
But even in S6, which was not favored by everyone, EDG managed to make a comeback.
This year, the overall strength has been further improved.
It shouldn't be too difficult to defend the dominant position.
“That’s right!”
Xing Dao seemed to be about to return the microphone to Zhu Zhen, but suddenly he remembered something and added, "I will also prove on this stage who is the world's number one top laner!"
As soon as the words fell.
The audience at the scene and the barrage in the major live broadcast rooms were boiling again.
"So?"
"I feel sorry for the factory manager."
"It tastes just right, it tastes just right!"
"777777."
"As expected of Brother Jie!"
"Look at the factory director's expression, hahahaha!"
On stage.
When the factory manager heard the first few words, he knew that this was not a good thing to say.
He rolled up his dead fish eyes and glared at me.
Unfortunately, this time everyone shared one microphone for the post-match speeches. Xing Dao refused to let go, so even the host had to wait.
The factory manager could only express his dissatisfaction with his eyes.
This scene was captured by the camera at the scene, and was screenshotted by countless curious players and spread wildly in game groups and forums.
“Everything is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.”
Zhu Zhen tried hard to hold back his smile and proceeded to the next step: "Then, while we are here to congratulate the champion team, we will also give them the honor they deserve."
"Let's applaud and welcome Mr. Huang, the general manager of Tencent Interactive Entertainment's cooperation department and the general manager of League of Legends in China, and Mr. Ye, the head of League of Legends in China, to the stage to present the prize to EDG!"
The other side of the stage.
A young lady wearing a Sona Cosplay costume presented an oversized card with a prize of 1.5 million yuan written on it. In small print on the top was the description of '2017 League of Legends Professional League Summer Finals'. On the left was a rubbing of the front of the Silver Dragon Cup, on the right was the exclusive pattern of the LPL League, and in the middle was an oversized 'Champion' that was extremely eye-catching.
After the awards ceremony.
Now comes the MVP selection stage.
"2017 League of Legends Pro League, the MVP of the summer season is... General!"
As Mr. Ye, the head of Roit's national region, read out the ID in a deep voice, the scene was once again plunged into a sea of celebration.
…
“This trophy is so beautiful.”
On the bus.
Ah Shui held the silver dragon cup weighing dozens of kilograms in one hand without any sign of effort.
"Don't kiss him. Xiao Zhao (iBoy) just kissed him. If you do it again, it will become an indirect kiss." Xing Dao teased.
"Pfft, pfft!" Ah Shui immediately dismissed the idea and shook the Silver Dragon Cup up and down: "Do you think I look like Li Yuanba?"
"UZI is still here, you are at most Pei Yuanqing." Meiko teased.
"...That's fine. I'm young, so I'll just keep fighting him!" Ah Shui grabbed the MVP trophy again: "This one is beautiful too, I don't have to return it, right?"
"You must not use it. The MVP trophy is mine... Don't break it!" Xing Dao reminded: "It's okay if the Silver Dragon Cup is broken. Just pay some money."
“Hahahahahaha fuck.”
"It's okay that the silver dragon cup broke."
"I have good news for everyone. The club will not take a penny of the bonus this time. All of it will be distributed. After tax deduction, the average per capita amount is exactly 200,000." Abramovich announced happily.
EDG boss Ed Zhu is an absolute super rich second generation and he doesn't need this little money.
There is another aspect.
Compared with other clubs that have to spend a lot of money to maintain normal operations, EDG not only does not need additional investment, but can also make a profit.
As for the reason…
Just look at the players' contracts.
The factory director gets shares and a salary of 100,000 yuan a month.
A lot for the average person.
But compared with other star players, for the factory manager who does not involve transfer fees or signing fees, one hundred thousand a month is a pure bargain.
As for various aspects such as live streaming and endorsement income, they are all shared, and EDG does not need to pay out of its own pocket.
Meiko signed a three-year contract as an LSPL player, and his income is so heartbreaking that it makes anyone cry.
As a trainee who "escaped" to EDG, Scout's salary is the lowest among Korean players, just a little more than the buy-one-get-one-free "hookup".
iBoy is a youth training kid and he only receives a basic salary.
In other words, the best treated member of the EDG team, apart from Xing Dao who had a gambling contract, is A Shui.
It seems that the total value of all five positions is very high.
Not much money was actually paid out.
certainly.
Only valid during the contract period.
If the contract is renewed again, the money will definitely increase several times, dozens of times, or even dozens of times.
But to Ed Zhu, it was nothing.
As long as they can win another global finals championship and complete the Grand Slam achievement in the same year, the traffic will be enough for EDG to be full.
You know.
Countless brands have already paid attention to the traffic that the e-sports industry can bring.
Vehicles, gaming chairs, and energy drinks are just a few.
Merchants from a range of industries including clothing, cosmetics, apps, mobile phones, and computer accessories have all considered entering the market.
But if you want to enjoy this bonus, you must have matching results.
If EDG or even other LPL teams perform poorly, this seemingly fat 'duck' may not even be put into the pot, let alone cooked and served to your mouth.
Therefore, even after winning the summer championship, all EDG members only rested for a short three days before starting intensive preparations.
At this time.
The last seed team of LPL has also been selected.
The first and second seeds are EDG and RNG, which ranked second in points throughout the year.
No. 3 seed WE.
After a fierce battle, the team that finally won the fourth seed qualification was IG, which consisted of Rookie, The shy, Ning, Sima Laozei and Baolan.
Although they have to start from the qualifying round, with the strength of the LPL teams, they have a good chance of winning the wildcard game and the third seed in the European and American regions, and there is basically no possibility of failure.
At this time, the player discovered something interesting.
——Among the four teams, the players of three teams are from the YM team.
EDG, where Xing Dao is, is the number one seed.
Ming's RNG is the second seed.
Ning, the last junior brother to enter LPL, got the ticket bought by his senior brother and boarded the last train.
YM's reputation as the "Huangpu of e-sports" has spread like wildfire and has become one of the hottest topics in recent times.
A fat man who was still smug about his income from selling people half a year ago, walking by the Huangpu River, inexplicably had the urge to jump into the river...
