Gu Xing saw the members of the second team in high spirits through the TV screen in the backstage lounge, and the tenderness in his heart was gently touched.

He recalled the scene when he won the championship for the first time.

In the midsummer of that year, also bathed in golden rain, five teenagers held up the Silver Dragon Cup in Guangzhou with bright smiles...

Thinking about how calm I am now after winning, the difference is very obvious.

To be fair, anyone who works all year round just to do one thing will get tired of it.

Many players will gradually lose interest in the game after winning the championship and simply regard it as work.

What's more, after getting tired of League of Legends, he started meditation training and stopped playing the game.

Although Gu Xing has not yet reached this extreme, he will eventually feel a little tired, and the same busy life will be extremely boring.

But today, listening to the passionate and impassioned voice content of the second team's youth training team when they were about to win the championship, and watching their high-spirited celebration after winning, he could feel the vitality radiating from these young people.

So much so that now the small flame in Gu Xing's heart was burning brightly again like a candle in the wind!

The determination to try his best to win the game caused the hot heat generated by this flame to flow down the blood to the limbs and bones!

Gu Xing slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

He didn't expect that coming to Jing'an to watch the second team's game would bring him unexpected gains!

The room burst into applause, and everyone applauded and cheered without hesitation, celebrating the members of the second team for winning the championship.

Zhu Xiaolong couldn't hold back his inner excitement and rushed towards the stage like an arrow from a string.

Then Endless, the assistant coach of the second team, also followed him like he was having fun.

Gu Xing followed the crowd to the entrance of the passage, looked up at the gorgeous lighting effects on the stage, and stopped in place.

"Lao Gu, why don't you go up?" Jack's originally fair face turned red with excitement.

"Farewell," Gu Xing smiled and shook his head, "If you really want to go up there, you'll end up taking the spotlight."

He has a clear understanding of his popularity in the LOL professional circle.

If he really steps onto the stage and is in the spotlight, the audience at the scene and in front of the online live broadcast room may no longer pay attention to VGP, but all keep an eye on Gu Xing!

It was the second team's celebration moment, and he didn't want to steal the show.

Jack thought for a moment and said to Sister Li, "That makes sense, so I won't go up either."

"It's not necessary, Jie Kuo. It's okay if you want to go on stage to celebrate." Boss Ding Jun came to the backstage and stabbed the side after hearing this. "You are not that popular. You are far from Xiao Gu!"

Yu Wenbo felt angry for a moment.

My reaction at this moment is Ming Kai’s famous saying that is most appropriate.

Although I felt very unhappy, I couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Even though Jack was on the team when VG won the championship last year, he can be regarded as a veteran.

But the real playing time is still too short.

In terms of popularity, he is not even as popular as the top two Korean players, let alone the core Nosuke!

Gu Xing was in the audience looking up at the moment when the players from the second team were holding the cup, but Ding Jun next to him was handed a business card.

"Hello, I am the person in charge of Player Nation..." The other party introduced himself straight to the point.

"Republic of Gamers?" Ding Jun replied subconsciously, "I'm sorry, our VG has a sponsor for a competing product."

After winning the championship last year, VG received a large number of business invitations.

Among them, e-sports related peripherals have the largest number of categories.

Ding Jun weighed the conditions and brand awareness and chose HP as the VG sponsor.

It conflicts with Player Nation.

Gu Xing stared at the Prodigal Eye symbol in the upper right corner of the other party's business card and heard the visitor's explanation.

"It's not a sponsorship, I'm here to discuss with you the LPL quota for the second team," said the representative of Player Nation. "I don't know what your expected price is, but ROG will always negotiate with the utmost sincerity."

Ding Jun was stunned for a moment, then nodded to indicate that he understood the other person's thoughts.

After VGP won the championship, they got tickets to next year's LPL. However, according to the management regulations released by Riot Games at the end of the S4 season, the same club can only have one team in each league.

In other words, the quota allocated by VGP must be sold.

Players Nation may want to enter the LPL next year, so they came to the scene to discuss seat transfer with Ding Jun first.

Ding Jun looked back at the youth training members of the second team who were taking photos around the secondary league championship trophy on the stage. The excitement on the young man's face came into view.

He pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Let me think about it carefully when I get back. If I have any intention then, I will contact you."

Ding Jun, like IG Wang Sicong, is a wealthy second generation who invested large sums of money to establish a club during the barbaric era of domestic e-sports.

They are willing to come to this industry to delve deeper, naturally because they are optimistic about the future of e-sports as a blue ocean field.

But there is also some emotion, which is different from the ruthless capital that only pursues profits.

After all, e-sports really didn’t make much money in the past few years. Before there was a mature professional league, the money that was thrown away was just meat buns beating dogs - there is no return.

Ding Jun didn't want to have to decide on the stage how to deal with the quota they worked so hard to win while the boys from the second team were enthusiastically winning the cup.

Anyway, the LPL is too hot now, and there is absolutely no need to worry about selling the quota. It is a pure seller's market for Ding Jun.

I'm not in a hurry!

Let's just put it off for two days.

The representative of Player Nation seemed determined to win this, and directly reported a series of numbers to Ding Jun, and then turned around and left without any hesitation.

Yu Wenbo, who was watching the whole process, felt like thunder was exploding in his ears, and this number was all in his mind.

"He said...how much?" Jack asked tremblingly. He was in disbelief and wanted to be sure again.

"58 million." Gu Xing slowly spit out the number.

"Are you crazy?!" Jack squeezed out the wrinkles on his forehead, "What is the concept of 58 million? You can buy two VGs!"

"The VG you are talking about is only the first team of the League of Legends division," Ding Jun reminded friendly, "If you add the second team's youth training and other divisions, our total investment per year will be around 70 million."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! League of Legends is a league system, and the schedule is relatively intensive. In a year, the leisure time is about three months. In addition, the popularity is here, so the players’ wages are

spending accounts for the bulk.

Other projects are mainly cup competitions, and due to the limited popularity of the project, the salaries of the players are not that high.

This year is the biggest gamble that VG Club has made, and it is all about the S7 Global Finals at the end of the year.

As long as you gamble, you will become famous and securely occupy the top spot in the history of domestic e-sports!

"That's a lot!" Yu Wenbo's eyes straightened, "It can cover the expenses of VG's nearly 10 branches for more than half a year!"

Gu Xing also nodded repeatedly.

In his opinion, 5800W is definitely not a small number.

The salary levels of top players in the LPL have not yet experienced a third rapid expansion - the first two times were at the end of S4 when a large number of Korean players came to China, and top players like Imp could get 8 million a year; the second time was at the end of S6

, the power of the first championship has increased the popularity and the gimmick of S7 hosting the world championship in China, there has been a star with an annual salary of eight figures.

Like Gu Xing, the one-year contract is 10 million before tax.

Of course, this does not include live broadcast platforms, business activities and competition bonus sharing.

If he were just a player, it would have taken Gu Xingde nearly six years to get so much money from the club!

5800W can buy almost his entire career!

"How much?" Ding Jun crossed his arms and sneered, "Where are you going? The bidding game has just begun."

He turned to look at the leaving figure of the Player Nation representative.

"This guy is pretending to be very brave. If we are deceived by him, we will suffer a huge loss!"

Ding Jun is very aware of how much seat fees will inflate after the promotion and relegation matches are canceled and the LPL quota is blocked.

During the S6 winter transfer period, the price of an LPL spot is only about 2,200W.

Once the quota is locked, the seat value is now nearly tripled!

If it were an outsider, maybe the Nation of Players would actually be tricked, thinking that 5800W is a huge sum of money, and it is an opportunity not to be missed before it comes back, so he quickly sold the quota allocated by the second team.

But Ding Jun knows that the bidding game is far from over. If foreign capital wants to capture the LPL traffic, it will inevitably drive up the few seats to sky-high prices!

5800W?

It would take a thousand more before he could take a closer look!

Gu Xing noticed the YM members retreating from the player bench.

Everyone looked extremely depressed.

The seventh attempt at LPL failed, and it’s hard not to feel disappointed.

Among all the unfamiliar faces, only Zhuo Ding was familiar.
