Los Angeles, TSM team base.

Chief Operating Officer Maggiora walked through the team's passage. The corners of the walls on both sides of the passage, door frames and other places looked a bit old because of their long history.

Maggiora glanced at these places and quickly looked away.

There is no need to renovate this base, because TSM has already found a new location in Los Angeles, which is a larger and more luxurious place.

The new base is under construction and is expected to be fully completed by the 2019 season.

In front of the base office, there are two huge models of alliance heroes, namely Xiaoyu and Zed.

The little fishman is the famous hero of Captain Orangutan. He is the first fishman in ancient North America.

As for the robbery...

In 2013, after Faker became famous with "two zodiacs in one game", before the start of the global finals, Reginald made "harsh words" and wanted to use zodiac to defeat Faker.

Unexpectedly, Captain Orangutan not only talked a lot, but actually chose Zed in the competition.

However, his various operations are far from those of the Great Demon King, so he was ridiculed after the game as "the traitorous ninja of Konoha Village" and "the shame of genin".

Later, the gorilla captain knew that he had no chance of qualifying for the quarterfinals, so he chose to be offered a million-dollar package, and later gave up his position to the Danes.

Therefore, placing a pillar of shame at the door shows the courage of Captain Orangutan.

Maggiola pushed open the door and walked in. Captain Orangutan was sitting on the black sofa in the office, with a makeup photo of the contestants hanging on the wall behind him.

Below the man in the photo, in a string of artistic fonts is written ID: The King.

The date marked is 2016. On the left and right below the final makeup photo, there is a silhouette of the hero Juggernaut and Syndra. These are the two pentakill heroes of S6. Of course, they were all made by the man in the photo.

Maggiola looked at the ground again, and there was a set of makeup photos, which were hung before 2016.

The person above is "Faker".

He thought to himself: Ever since The King came out, Boss has literally changed the photo behind him.

His original love for Faker was doubled and transferred to TheKing.

Especially now...

Seeing Snake win the championship again this season, The King shocked the three groups, scoring five kills in a row, and the second consecutive Fmvp...

Captain Orangutan is truly possessed now.

"Boss, there are many employers now extending olive branches and asking crazy prices."

"They are very interested in TSM."

"Hmm."

Captain Orangutan snorted coldly, "Now, except for our TSM, all the top 10 teams in North America have some influence from the management. However, our level is different from theirs."

"Besides, I'm not short of money now."

Maggiola nodded: "The joining of Benji and Kabo went smoothly, and they didn't exceed tens of millions of dollars in two years. Considering their popularity, this is a very good deal compared to the business."

"In the forum on our official website, many fans are excited about the arrival of the new jungler."

Mentioning this, the orangutan captain finally showed a smile:

"With Benji, I also found Kakao just to increase my reserves. Both of them are immediate combat capabilities and both are puzzle pieces. I want to make the subsequent plans more perfect."

Maggiola nodded, of course he knew that these junglers were not prepared for Bjergsen. The Danes actually performed well and were second to none in North America, but compared with the top, there was nothing left.

What TSM did was all for that man.

Maggiola couldn't help but raise his head, and saw the makeup photo hanging on the wall behind the sofa. The man's eyes were so stern.

"Boss, about The King..."

"Our negotiations with Snake were very stiff, and the other side didn't let up at all."

"How much did it go this time?" the gorilla captain asked.

Maggiola exhaled slightly: "15 million dollars a year!"

"This is already the largest contract in the league, and it is also the first time we have made an offer of this level, but even at this price, the other party is still indifferent."

The orangutan captain sighed, a little helpless.

He said depressedly: "Let alone 15 million dollars, if TSM can get TheKing in the 2018 season, I can pay twice as much."

"Those e-sports experts who rely on their mouths finally got it right this time. The King is the shortcut to championship."

"If TheKing is placed in Bjergsen's position, TSM can also reach the finals!"

"Has this kind of result ever happened in North America?"

"If he can lead the team to win a world championship in North America, TSM will become an unshakable totem for North American players! This kind of long-term benefit cannot be explained by tens of millions of dollars."

"Similarly, the entire North American players will also go crazy because of him, and his influence will enter a new level. This is a completely win-win situation. I really want to sit down and talk with The King and outline a blueprint. Unfortunately,

There is no such opportunity."

The gorilla captain got excited when he said it, and the depression of not getting what he asked for made him scratch his head.

Seeing that Maggiola was hesitant to speak, the orangutan captain said:

"You want to say that it will be difficult to get The King this time, right?"

"Yes, Boss, they have no intention of talking about it at all."

"I even mentioned a lease contract, but it was clearly rejected."

"This is normal. Maybe their contract has been signed long ago."

Captain Orangutan said: "We want to become the totem of North America. Of course Snake also wants to become the myth of the LPL. The three consecutive dynasties are right in front of us. Snake will never let The King go."

"The market for testing the waters is so turbulent, there is a high probability that they are building momentum."

"After all, almost all e-sports fans want to know whether Theking will renew Snake's contract. After that, he will make a final decision and vow to head towards the road of dynasty. I guess Snake fans will be excited."

"If I were Boss Snake, I would do the same thing."

Maggiola nodded helplessly, he thought so too.

"However, we can still operate."

"Boss, what are your plans?"

Captain Orangutan said: "If we can't get The King this year, then we will add puzzle pieces to prepare for next year."

"But, I want The King to feel our sincerity!"

"Let players around the world see our TSM desire for The King!"

"If Snake really wins the dynasty, Snake will always have a different mentality. If Snake doesn't win the dynasty, Snake will always have other thoughts."

"2019 is our best opportunity for TSM!"

"The new base will also be completed at that time, and TSM will enter its most passionate stage!"

Maggiola already understood what Captain Orangutan meant.

He asked again: "How do you respond to the news from the Lakers? Are they very sincere?"

"Of course they are sincere. Everyone can see the trend of the league and everyone knows that TSM can make money."

"However, we don't have to accept it now."

"In the next year, the benefits can be maximized."

"Besides, if it weren't for getting The King, I wouldn't need other investors at all."

He added: "If Snake can really leverage it, then we will negotiate with the Lakers immediately."

"OK, Boss, I know what to do."

"..."

After Maggiola hurried out, the orangutan captain looked back at the portrait behind him.

He really cares about her.

In the afternoon of that day, the TSM operations department first submitted a transaction email to Snake, and then made a phone call to the operations there.

While negotiations between the two parties failed and no agreement was reached, TSM updated their fans on their offseason activities and the targets they were pursuing at the bottom of their homepage.

At the same time, several TSM stars and veteran North American players were contacted by the TSM operations department in advance. This group of people with some connections in the e-sports circle launched a series of trade negotiations that shocked the league world within a few minutes of each other.

Insider!

As soon as the news was released, it swept the entire alliance circle like a big wave on the sea!

Relevant media also reported on it one after another.

The melon-eating audience was hooked!
