The Crown on a Wheelchair [Esports]

? Wind and rain ◇

He still has to face a parting after all

"Welcome Aboard? Nightwish."

The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and magnetic.

This is the first time that Xia Liang understands the slightly less straightforward English spoken to him by others.

The conversation lasted two hours and was complex.

Xia Liang opened the notebook, looked at the electronic version of the contract and agreement, and listened to Guo Chen's detailed explanation.

He has no agent and can only learn by himself.

He learned that ART will officially change its management next year, and Qingyun Battleship will only be able to recruit five summoners next year. So far, the new base in Putong District has been renovated, and Guo Chen, as the future manager, has been granted the right to sign contracts by shareholders , That is to say, he signs now, moves to the new base in Shanghai before the end of the year to participate in running-in training, and enjoys the starter treatment first, but the year of participation in the competition is 2016-2017.

The salary is indeed much higher than it is now.

"I have introduced the specific situation here, and there is nothing missing." Guo Chen said, "Xia Liang, after all, the transfer period has passed, and our people will try their best to contact KL, but it depends on how you and Yang Miao do. talk."

Xia Liang said, "Okay, thank you Manager Guo."

The phone hung up, and the ward was suddenly quiet.

The liquid medicine in the hanging bottle is about to run out.

"How about it?"

Ji Tian was picking at the phone case in his hand, the small piece of plastic turned white with fatigue.

Xia Liang shared the notebook.

"Do you know who my future teammate is?" Xia Liang smiled and said easily, "Insider information."

Ji Tian shook his head.

Xia Liang was interested, and wrote a few letters on the metal cover of the notebook with slightly sweaty fingers - Hope, WuYao, CJW and the last shooter FRI;

Ji Tian said: "Fuck."

Xia Liang pulled Ji Tian's arm: "Don't be angry, Ji Shen."

Ji Tian said: "I'm not angry, I'm just...forget it, I haven't written my horoscope yet, he thinks..."

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

After inspecting the environment of the clinic, Chen Shuzhen regained her emotional stability, and finally agreed to let Sun Yueran see Xia Liang.

As soon as the door was opened, air flowed in.

Ji Tian hurriedly carried Xia Liang back to the pillow and tucked in the quilt.

The turmoil is getting bigger and bigger, and public opinion is fermenting at an exponential speed, and it spreads to the whole country centered in Pingcheng, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. up.

"The media department needs you to make a video to clarify the incident." Sun Yueran threw himself on the guardrail at the end of the bed and said, "If you don't explain, the competition may be under pressure to cancel KL's right to participate this year."

"Leader Sun, please speak up if you have something to say." Chen Shuzhen said, "Xiaoliang has just recovered, who are you scaring?"

Xia Liang's face was pale, she didn't speak, she just looked at Zhang Mingchen.

Zhang Mingchen nodded, indicating that the situation was true.

Ji Tian jumped up, pulled away Sun Yueran's hand holding the guardrail, and said: "Sun Yueran, if you don't participate in the competition, you can't force Xia Liang to do this kind of thing, why does he want to take the risk voluntarily, don't you know? !"

Sun Yueran said: "Hey, I said you have a hole in your head, don't you?"

Ji Tian said: "I'll just..."

"Ji Tian." Xia Liang said, "Go back to Huaxi Yard for training first, don't let them wait for you."

Ji Tian turned around with a complicated expression.

Xia Liang said: "I'll see you when I get better and can go out."

Ji Tian said: "Dump me again?"

Xia Liang said: "If I trap you in injustice, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Ji Tian packed up his things and left.

The nurse came in to change the bottle, and everyone shut up at the same time, in exchange for two or three minutes of peace.

Xia Liang lowered her eyelashes and smoothed the cuffs of the patient's gown.

"Leader Sun, what should I say?"

"The script is ready, just read it." Sun Yueran handed the folder to Chen Shuzhen for the two of them to look at.

Xia Liang opened it, looked at it, and put it aside.

"What?" Sun Yueran said.

"Manager Yang hasn't given me an answer yet." Xia Liang said, "I have something very important to talk to him about."

A day later, Xia Liang received a reply, and Yang Miao will express his condolences to him through remote video.

What followed was a new round of indiscriminate bombing.

Xia Liang realized for the first time that public opinion can really become a sharp weapon for killing people.

Even the fans in his live broadcast room are "fighting for him".

[Follow-up to the Nightwish incident: The team members fell ill in the hospital, the manager of the KL club ignored him and sat on the grand master's chair], [The training environment of the KL base was exposed: three points and one line, fully enclosed, restricting personal freedom], [The human nature of the management of the KL club The annihilation of capital—is the presence of capital a blessing or a curse? 】

Below the title, Xia Liang saw a few smoky pictures. They were some pictures of them smoking, drinking, and gathering people for "prostitutional gambling" when they held parties in Building 303 and Sun Yueran's private house.

He couldn't bear to watch.

Even though he had bid farewell to KL from the bottom of his heart, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw these malicious slanders.

It is said that KL has lost nearly 20 RMB because of the sponsor's termination of the agreement.

Xia Liang thought, if he were Yang Miao, he would fly to Pingcheng to visit the injured and sick players as soon as possible, and blocked the mouths of the media with a concerned attitude, but what puzzled him was that Yang Miao not only did not bow to the public opinion, but also As usual, news about the progress of the summer game was posted on the official Weibo, as if the hundreds of abusive comments underneath did not exist.

In the afternoon, the video conference started.

Xia Liang sat on the hospital bed and put the notebook on the folding table.

The green light is on.

A portrait of Yang Miao appeared in the box.

The background is the photo wall in the attic on the top floor of the base.

On the shelf is the Triangular Rubik's Cube that Ji Tian turned.

"Hello, Xia Liang." Yang Miao said.

"Hello, Manager Yang." Xia Liang said, "I originally wanted to talk to you face to face, because I alone caused such a big disturbance in KL, in fact, I also feel uncomfortable."

Yang Miao said: "Jueran should have communicated with you about the club's requirements and follow-up treatment. So, what do you want to talk about when you meet me alone today?"

Xia Liang said: "Let me first... I want to ask a question first, I hope you can answer me sincerely, don't lie to me."

Yang Miao said, "Ask."

Xia Liang said: "Because of this illness, it is impossible for you to agree to my starting next year, right?"

A suspended globe rotates in front of the table.

Yang Miao flicked the ball, retracted her hand, and pressed her fist to her lips.

"Your physical condition is special. The doctor made it clear that once you get sick, the chances of recurring will be higher. At present, KL's first requirement for the mid laner is to be stable, so any risk is in my eyes. Unacceptable, I can't use you as the starter."

After answering, Yang Miao calmed down, looked at the camera and said, "Xia Liang, you play very well. Coach Jin mentioned that your skills are fine. So, I wonder if you will feel better."

Xia Liang nodded.

"I actually guessed it too." On the screen, Wei Yang's lips flattened into a line, "Then, Manager Yang, I won't waste your time. It's okay to shoot a small video to clarify the process, because before going on stage, I really promise I don't deny that you and nobody on the coaching staff pushed me to do so at my own risk."

Yang Miao listened, opened her hands, and rubbed the Tianjin points on both sides of her cheeks.

"It seems that you have found your next home, and then came to negotiate with me on behalf of the other party."

……

"Not bad." Xia Liang said, "I have the conditions."

……

"That old fox stretches out his hand really long enough." Yang Miao smiled, "Is it for the transfer fee? Your contract is still a year and a half away, and the price of 100 million is indispensable. If he is sincere, That's all it takes."

Xia Liang said: "I have only played two regular games in the Spring Split this year, and the opening match of the Summer Split that I just finished, was only ranked eighth in terms of points, and the value of the left and right players did not exceed 50."

Yang Miao said: "The transfer period has passed! This is called taking advantage of the fire! ART is immoral!"

Xia Liang was taken aback by the contrast between Yang Miao's front and back.

Yang Miao sneered: "You think KL has treated you badly, so you are willing to be the opponent's pawn?"

Xia Liang calmed down and replied: "No, I can have today's worth because KL gave me the platform."

Yang Miao said, "Hey, that's pretty clear."

Xia Liang said: "But..."

Yang Miao said: "What's the good but, listen to me, if you are willing to maintain the same caliber with KL, even if it is 100 million, they will also release it. In the end, I can still share it with you."

Xia Liang shook his head.

Yang Miao didn't speak, just kept Xia Liang cold, turned sideways and tapped the keyboard of the laptop, and went to deal with other things.

The number of the meeting time in the lower left corner is beating, unknowingly, half an hour.

"Manager Yang, you asked me to shoot the video based on facts, right?" Xia Liang said.

"Yeah." Yang Miao said, "It's good for you too, and "hard work" will be a very positive publicity. "

Xia Liang said: "Then let me tell the truth, okay?"

Yang Miao said, "I'll reply to a few emails, just tell me, and I'll listen."

"Okay." Xia Liang said calmly, "The truth is, I was under sixteen the day I signed the contract, so it must be approved by my mother before it is valid, but even though faxing is very troublesome.

Although the contract has more than a dozen pages, it only took 3 minutes from the time I entered the office to the time I finished talking, Manager Yang, at that time..."

Yang Miao's fingers hovered over the keyboard.

"At that time, I didn't understand anything." Xia Liang said, "I didn't understand what breach of contract, transfer, and signing were. I only knew that the second team started with 5000 yuan a month, so I was very proud of it and hoped to sign for a longer period of time. .”

Yang Miao snapped and pressed Enter.

Xia Liang said: "I didn't start thinking until I found out that this year's white paper added a new article that the contract of NPL players should not exceed two years. Why, is three years not good? Is three years too long... I know the rules are new. It is not binding on the signed contract.

But Manager Yang, I understand now that I really don't have many three years to spare. In the first half of the year, every second I sat in the backstage lounge, my heart ached. "

Yang Miao pushed the desk away with one hand, slid out half a meter, and leaned back on the swivel chair.

The globe rotates, and the longitude and latitude are interlaced.

"Xia Liang, in this attic, reason is more important than love." Yang Miao paused, sat back in front of the camera, and said with concentration, "You just want to convince me that love comes first and then reason. Affection."

Xia Liang said: "I... don't know what you're talking about, but if you don't agree to revise the price, I won't shoot a video to clarify it, and maybe even change my words to help the evildoers, so just treat me as unreasonable."

Yang Miao said, "Make an offer."

Xia Liang was slightly taken aback.

Yang Miao said, "Huh?"

Xia Liang said, "50."

Yang Miao said: "Okay, you let them come, you can leave now after signing the contract, but I have one last request, the two sides delay the official announcement for two months, that is, wait until the end of the summer split, isn't it difficult?"

Xia Liang agrees.

After the video hangs up, the display screen is gray? The interface reflects a pair of pupils out of focus.

The walls of the ward are white, and the air is as transparent as a vacuum.

"How did the discussion go? Manager Yang didn't regret the medical expenses, did he?" Chen Shuzhen came in with a plate.

"mom."

Xia Liang sat with the quilt tucked in front of her chest, her upper lip touched her lower lip.

Chen Shuzhen said, "What happened?"

Xia Liang picked up the water glass and laughed to herself.

Chen Shuzhen quickly reached out to touch Xia Liang's forehead, fearing that she had a fever.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Liang laughed hard, her saliva choked her throat, her face flushed, she coughed and coughed, "50, I want to buy you a house in my hometown, 50, is it enough for the down payment? "

Chen Shuzhen said: "I just hope you don't get hurt."

Xia Liang said, "Mom, I want to transfer."

This trick was taught by Guo Chen to Xia Liang. In the previous conversation, Guo Chen made it clear that the new ART will reimburse Aurora at a price of 100 million, and if Xia Liang can cut down the transfer fee, the rest will be his personal signing fee .

Xia Liangkong took on the white wolf and earned 50 yuan.

"Ah?" Chen Shuzhen's voice was trembling with fright, "There will be no pies in the sky, you, don't be deceived."

"No, because they know that one day, I will make the worth of 100 million to 1000 million." Xia Liang held Chen Shuzhen's hand, her eyes were as clear as water, "Mom, let's buy a house."

The transfer process was quick.

Within a day, the relevant personnel of the ART business department responded, and a contract was signed between Hangzhou, Pingcheng, and Shanghai. KL's first team replaced the mid laner Ye Yuan and became the new ART's starting mid laner next year.

Xia Liang doesn't know whether he cares about the 50 yuan. He usually doesn't know how to invest and manage money, and he doesn't like vanity to pursue famous brands. He is a typical nerd who has money and doesn't spend it.

But after all this, he finally breathed fresh air, he felt his bones creaking and stretching, and soon, the cocoon was about to break through.

The battle in KL is still on.

After the media department filmed Xia Liang's clarification video, they immediately went into intense publicity production.

On June 6th, KL and ART played a regular BO19.

Sun Yueran called Liu Hao in the lounge behind the scenes.

"Yueran, it's the game, why do you want to call me?" Liu Hao said.

"Haozi." Sun Yueran smiled and breathed out the window, "Long time no see, I heard that your days as a nanny are coming to an end, the new team wants to use you again."

"Don't mock me yet, the backyard of KL is on fire, are you still in the mood to greet me?" Liu Hao said.

"Isn't that what you ordered?" Sun Yueran said, "Mingchen doesn't want to tear himself apart with you, so let me tell you."

"I'm a part-time worker and I don't know anything, so don't splash dirty water," Liu Hao said.

"Your value is more than that, you are a tongue." Sun Yueran said with a smile.

"If you're so weird again, I'll hang up the phone." Liu Hao said.

"Okay, I'll just tell you a few stories." Sun Yueran said, "The lich has been a fan, I can't remember the name, what man and what baby? How did 996 get from the second team to the first team? This number seems to be just now Okay, 99.6, only 4000 yuan short? Last year, the captain of the ART women's team... Tsk, no wonder, Aurora is going to change management."

"Sun Yueran! Where did you get so much information!" Liu Hao said.

Sun Yueran clenched his fist, wiped off the fog on the glass window, and looked at the opposite ART lounge with a smile.

"Feng Shui turns, Haozi, please tell the bosses, don't do things too badly, this time KL is unlucky, but who doesn't have a bump? Everyone is looking forward to NPL getting more and more prosperous, right? ?”

Clink the glasses together.

Zhang Mingchen followed Zhou Qiong and sat in the roast duck banquet for friends from the media.

"They're all foreigners." Zhou Qiong said with a smile, "Today I'm going to treat you to guests. He's been talking about it for a long time, and I want to invite you all to the KL base in Hangcheng for a three-day tour."

"What good thing?" Wu Xianfeng said.

"Listen to me, speak slowly." Zhang Mingchen picked up the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

The KL Media Department recently stated that it is willing to accept the in-depth inspection of the base by the NPL event party due to the Nightwish incident, and invited third-party media to follow up and report.

"Is this just a waste of my trip?" Wu Xianfeng said.

"You and I are both local brothers, so you can't block others, can you? Actually, it's not that complicated. It's best to figure it out." Zhang Mingchen said, "Xia Liang is a good boy, and the comrades of the Disabled Persons' Federation will not be disappointed. , both indicators are there, advanced, ah, there is still help, is it missing? Indispensable.”

Later, whether Wu Xianfeng sent a message to Yu Wangke is unknown, but so far, the journalists scurrying around like headless chickens finally found a "breakthrough" and stopped besieging the gear field and Xiaoou rehabilitation clinic.

Zhang Mingchen accompanied this special investigation throughout.

On the day of the inspection, NPL’s official website and Weibo, KL’s official website and Weibo, Yunxiao Internet and Moyun Technology’s media jointly released a short documentary as an official response to the opening match.

【sequence】

"Baqianli Luyunheyue, KL has always known that we are not doing well enough."

All the "scandal photos" that have appeared in public opinion have all been edited into the beginning of the video.

Time and time again, he missed the trophy.

Time and time again people leave with resentment.

Over and over again, making mistakes, getting lost.

"However, KL will go on."

[The first bomb: Germination]

In the shot, at the end of 2011, Yang Miao and the designer discussed how to arrange the dormitory, training room, staff office, media department, commercial department, and business department of eight team members in a suburban villa of less than [-] square meters...

In that year, ART won the second place in the world, while the KL cocoon breaking team had just pieced together a prototype with the financial support of Moyun Technology. Yang Miao assured the KL headquarters that the cocoon breaking project would be self-sufficient within two years.

[Second Bomb: Broken Shell]

At the beginning of 2012, the electric fans in the training room were shaking their heads. Poseidon and TTvg, one was hungry and the other had a hand injury. In the summer when the air conditioner was in disrepair, they taught the newcomers Tong Xi, Chen Shanqiu, and Xiao Zhenrong how to play together.

In the hotel, five of them squeezed into a suite.

In the case of late regular season, enter the NPL semi-finals.

Sponsors came one after another, and KL launched many peripherals to gain a firm foothold in the chaotic professional e-sports industry.

[The third bullet: growth]

In 13, Korean aid coaches were introduced, and KL got tickets to the World Championship.

At the end of the year, the youth training camp was established, and a mature training system and norms were established.

In 14, the first team and the second team entered the NPL league at the same time, participating in the competition for the highest honor in the country.

Xia Liang lay on the snow-white sheets, watching the changes in public opinion very seriously.

KL's approval rating has bottomed out.

In the past, official stuff was always irritating, but when KL was attacked by keyboard warriors and seemed to have completely lost the support of players, suddenly, some self-media began to repost KL's short documentary.

People always sympathize with the weak.

Especially after the negative energy burst, seeing KL is still carrying forward and rebuilding the barren homeland, I was moved. Even if KL used to be a "villain", people are not willing to make trouble again.

Especially at the end of the short film, Xia Liang's confession is used as a sideshow, which is the finishing touch.

【"In such an environment, I really enjoy the feeling of fighting with my teammates. Risks are something that I have to bear no matter where I am. I am almost an adult. I feel that my dream is my own business. I fell Just "stand up" and shouldn't blame the uneven road..." Xia Liang, who was wearing a hospital gown, sat in front of the bed and said so.]

Xia Liang was a little emotional.

He didn't expect that Yang Miao put the expensive clarification video in exchange for 50 to the end. He neither defended KL nor used it to earn sympathy.

And that's where it's brilliant.

The "Flood Beast" was introduced into the river and turned into a "fine nectar and jade dew" for irrigating fertile fields.

KL not only survived this turmoil, but also moved forward with a more impressive record.

Seven days later, Xia Liang was discharged from the hospital.

When the summer season is over, he will report to the new base in Shanghai.

But before that, he agreed with Guo Chen that he would accompany his former teammates to complete every remaining training session.

The storm has subsided, but he still has to face a parting after all.
