The day after winning the championship.
The group of tigers were invited by Riot to visit Riot's headquarters near Santa Monica Beach to experience the office culture of this music company.
The main purpose of coming here is to discuss the design of the champion skin.
Designers will listen and record the hero actions they want, including laughter, taunts, or recall effects.
In addition to improving the sense of participation of champion players in skin production, dog designers can also save their worries. In this way, on the one hand, they use less brains, and on the other hand, they can blame the blame for the bad skin.
Look, these bad elements were added by yourselves.
I spent an entire afternoon proposing ideas and experiencing the company culture. I also had a meal at Riot and took the car back to the hotel in the evening.
"Can all the movements we make appear on our skin?"
Little Peanut is very interested.
"Don't get excited."
Li Jin chuckled: "The movements will indeed be restored, but to what extent I don't know."
"Maybe they are different."
They chatted all the way.
I finally made it to North America, and then I stayed in Los Angeles for two days to take some travel photos.
Little Peanut and Nofe were alert throughout the entire process.
I'm afraid I'll encounter Lucian's real jungler from the US server again.
On November 3, everyone set off from Los Angeles International Airport in the middle of the morning, after a nearly 13-hour flight. Taking into account the time difference, they arrived at Incheon International Airport at 3:45 pm on November 4.
At the airport, there were also some Tigers fans waiting to welcome them.
The e-sports circle in the LCK is so big, and players will actively do business when facing fans.
Accommodate everyone's photo and autograph requests.
This time, Li Jin received greater welcome.
Several Korean ladies were leaning against him, and one could smell the scent of perfume. The distance was very close, and Li Jin felt slightly uncomfortable. Sister Jin Hyuk reminded him, so he made scissor hands gestures, smiled and cooperated with the business.
Nofe snickered from the side.
If the stupid chicken saw this scene, he would definitely laugh and mock.
That's it? He's no better than Faker.
The tigers got on the car back to the base and complained about being tired in the car.
"Fm is more tiring than playing games."
"Yes, yes~"
"You have to do business even when you are tired. This is also part of the profession."
Sejin educated him.
Without fan support and lack of attention, the team's revenue will be affected.
Little Peanut faced Li Jin and said, "Brother, female fans like you more. I saw you being held up by the little sister."
"It's definitely a bit enthusiastic."
Li Jin looked indifferent: "But it's just a small scene, it won't trouble me."
"Eh~!"
There were lingering questions and laughter in the bus.
…
The Tigers' base is very dilapidated and cannot be compared with the hotels in Los Angeles. The conditions in all aspects are very different.
However,
This cozy place makes you feel at ease as soon as you step into it.
There is something called "original intention" and "dream", which is easy to pick up.
As far as the eye can see, the past is filled with memories.
After sighing with emotion at first, Sister Jin He waved her hand and announced that she was going to have a dinner with unlimited food and drink!
Everyone cheered again, which disturbed the neighbors.
The wind picked up in the evening, making the wind chimes at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant jingle, and the glasses of the tigers drinking drinks in the house also jingled.
The unshaven boss often glanced at them.
It's a small business, but if you break a cup, you have to pay for it.
S6 has ended.
Even the start time of the 2017 LCK has been determined.
Currently, there is one more thing in front of us.
In mid-November, the contracts of all ROX players will expire.
This is a rather serious and even sad topic.
On this night of celebration, there was such a tacit understanding that no one mentioned it, and they only shared the joy and satisfaction of success with each other.
until
On the morning of November 5, there was only one week left before the 2016 winter transfer period.
Li Jin was dressed neatly, just like when he first joined ROX, and sat across from Nofe in the shabby but clean small office.
Life is not only about poetry and distance, but also about facing the reality in front of you.
"Jin Xi, what are your ideas for next season?"
Li Jin glanced at Nofe, but he did not respond, but asked:
"Brother Lu Zhe, has ROX found a sponsor?"
"Well, I found it. Several sponsors are quite enthusiastic."
There was not much joy on Nofe's face. He sighed slightly, feeling that he had nothing to hide.
"But I lack the courage to appeal to everyone to stay."
"Why?"
"These sponsors are basically not much different from the previous KOO. The funds they can invest in team operations are relatively limited. Moreover, their expectations for paying high salaries are low. Although they can far exceed the previous salary levels, they cannot equip our players. The worth it deserves.”
Li Jin frowned: "Aren't there any big sponsors?"
"have."
"But then ROX will cease to exist. The team needs to change its name. At the same time, we need to retain all the players to build the brand power of the new team."
"Jin Hyuk is not willing, and we can't make decisions for Wanghu and the others."
"After finishing second in 2015, their reputation has soared. They could have gotten big contracts and made money like other players. But for the sake of their dreams, everyone decided to squeeze in such a small place and play for another year. Now their dream has come true."
Nofe sighed lightly and said with relief: "Jin Xi, ROX has been completed and there are no regrets. We can't delay everyone anymore."
"Thinking about the worst, if we don't win the championship this year, ROX will definitely fall apart, and everyone will leave this place with full sadness and regret. Now, we can let go of a lot of things."
"Even if we are separated, we can still go out with a smile and find our own future."
Li Jin touched his chin while listening to Nofe's statement.
How many years can your career last at its peak?
Since it is time to eat the meal of youth, you must do it as early as possible, and there is no better opportunity than this year.
All ten members of Samsung can get big contracts.
ROX can do the same.
Nofe further revealed: “Some teams have also contacted me and promised good contracts.”
Nofe is 30 years old and will marry Sejin in the future.
He needs to support his family.
Li Jin already understood what Nofe meant and asked one more question: "What should I do about Sister Jin He?"
"Of course she is still in ROX. Small sponsors are interested in the ROX label. Their investment can help ROX survive and find a better venue. They can recruit some lower-priced players, like Jin Xi's current worth, ROX You won’t be able to eat it unless you don’t leave on your own.”
Li Jin glanced at him.
"Hey, brother Lu Zhe, your calculations are too loud. You go make money, and I will do charity and help you take care of ROX by the way, right?"
"I'm so charming. All the LCK female hosts are paying attention to me. Be careful, Sister Jin Hyuk will fall in love with someone else."
"Haha." Nofe laughed. Of course he was just joking, and he didn't want his home to be robbed.
"I also received a lot of big contract invitations." Li Jin said: "Teams from all over the world, but I didn't reply to any of them."
The two of them revealed their hearts and finally settled the matter.
With Li Jin's affirmation, Nofe finally had the courage to speak.
That afternoon, the Tigers held a very special meeting in the training room.
There was opposition, and then the opposition was suppressed.
Nofe stood at the door of the training match and spoke affectionately.
Sejin hid his face and left after hearing half of it.
Finally, everyone fell silent.
Because what Nofe said is right, they also have the intention of earning a good salary.
Improve your life, make your career rewarding, and save some capital for retirement in the future.
The emotional little peanut's eyes were red, and he no longer looked high-spirited.
After everyone comforted her for a while, they found that Peanut was crying even more vigorously.
"Hello!"
"Wanghu, aren't you doing too poorly and worrying that no team will want you?"
Pray said this deliberately.
Little Peanut raised his head as expected: "How could that be?"
"Which team wants you?" Pray deliberately provoked him.
Unexpectedly, Little Peanut said an answer that made the training match louder.
"Kkoma also sent me a message, but I didn't reply."
"There are a lot more."
"Oh~~!!"
Everyone yelled, bucked their horses and made a smiley face:
"Good guy, Wanghu."
"You go to SKT. Look, I will beat you next season."
They had a fuss.
Finally the atmosphere relaxed a bit.
Emotional outbursts are sometimes temporary, and when they pass, they will feel much better.
"At such a sad time, let's have a drink."
"bring it on!"
This time no one refused, and the sad Sister Jin Hyuk also came back, bringing cans of beer.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west.
The setting sun shines through the window, dyeing the house a golden color.
The sound of opening a can sounded.
Everyone clinked glasses, imitated those high rollers, and shouted "Fuck it!"
…
That night, Li Jin was lying on the bed.
The system in my mind is finally loaded!
"Congratulations to the host for winning the 2016 Finals Fmvp. The 2017 new season has officially started!"
Li Jin looked eagerly at the information below.
…
Main positioning in 2017: ADC.
Corresponding strength: T0 (top in the world).
Corresponding enhanced skills: silky walking A, high-precision distance control, enhanced last-hitting, keen positional awareness, twin bonds (to form a higher tacit understanding with partner support).
…
Locate AD.
Very good. In 2017, the incense burner monster was rampant, which was the most powerful version of AD.
Li Jin remembers clearly that during the S7 era, the top five players in AD output could average between 809 and 904 points in damage.
The average AD score damage in this S6 is between 644-733.
Moreover, the top five AD players in S7 can deal up to 43.6% of the damage and the lowest to 38.3%.
Deft, which had the highest AD damage ratio in S6, was able to hit 35.6%, which would not even rank among the top eight in S7.
The rhythm of the major teams mostly revolves around the bottom lane. In this environment, the performance of the ADC players of each team is very eye-catching. It is almost normal for the MVP of each game to be awarded to the ADC players.
Li Jin is very satisfied with the positioning.
Let’s look down at the changes in other locations.
The three positions of jungler, top laner, and mid laner are still at the T3 level.
[Auxiliary: T1 level (for every 100 points consumed, T0 strength can be re-unlocked and the original counterpoint strengthening skills can be obtained)]
The changes in the auxiliary position were better than Li Jin expected.
The system finally becomes an individual.
[Points reward for winning the championship: 1,000 points. 】
[Cross-border positioning reward: 1 time. 】
It's hard to find, but it's better than nothing.
[The conditions for opening the new main position in 2018: Winning the 2017 S Championship + Finals Fmvp evaluation. 】
This one made Li Jin a little nervous.
After all, having lost a group of powerful teammates in their prime, the challenges they have to face are far greater than those in S6!
You must accumulate a lot of trump cards in your hand.
Looking further down, Li Jin made a new discovery.
The system gave me a new thing.
[New entry in 2017: Zhizhen. 】
[Ultimate: When the host triggers this entry, the stability of the team will be increased by 5%. 】
…
Li Jin exited the system interface in his mind.
5% team stability?
The probability is not high, it is a bit metaphysical.
But even if there is a 1% improvement, Li Jin does not want to give up.
Perfect?
How to trigger?
He was thinking about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Zhizhenhuazi!
Yes!
If we form a Zhizhenhua sub-team, wouldn't it be possible to get bugs, and wouldn't the entries be triggered all the time? 5% team stability, slightly reducing the probability of teammates dying suddenly and breaking the line.
This is quite fragrant.
Moreover, there is indeed a lot to say about Zhizhen Huazi's campaign against the Bird's Nest.
Li Jin became excited and began to take stock of the LPL teams in his mind.
He remembered another interesting thing.
This season I played support and mid lane.
Suddenly announced that he would bring his talent to the AD position.
Will those teams react in the same way as Xia Chuangshi?
…
"Brother, I have insomnia again."
In the middle of the night, Little Peanut's voice rang again.
Now he stopped calling Smeb, because all he could get from there was a roll over and his butt facing him.
"Have you had insomnia?"
"Yeah, I always think of a lot of things."
Li Jin was rarely interested: "Well, Wanghu, I'll tell you a story."
"What story?" Little Peanut asked curiously.
"An inspirational story about a hero who was sealed in an ancient stone statue, and finally escaped from the seal, and then stood upright to save the world."
"oh?!"
Little Peanut was very curious, and Smeb next door also pricked up his ears.
In the darkness, Li Jin's face twitched with laughter, and his voice trembled slightly:
"The beginning of the story is quite bloody. It is about a man who was hurt by love, sealed himself, and then gained great power."
Li Jin seriously made up the story of abstract magic transformation.
Smeb and Peanut actually listened very excitedly.
"Yes."
"In the Age of Ice and Fire, the Dark Legion was too powerful. The hero was severely injured, sealed himself, turned into a stone sculpture, and prayed to God for more powerful power."
"..."
"In the Immortal Era, the hero recovered. He discovered the truth. The Void God he prayed for used his faith to destroy his world. The hero became angry, broke his genetic lock, and destroyed the god!"
"but.!!"
"..."
Li Jin said nothing for a long time.
"Then what"
"Yeah, what next."
Li Jin apologized: "Tell me a little bit, I forgot about it later."
"good night."
…
"Ahhhh~!! Brother, please tell me quickly."
"Wanghu, I really forgot."
"elder brother"
"Hey, Wanghu, don't get on my bed! Get off now~!"
…
The winter window transfer period is getting closer, and rumors about ROX are naturally rampant.
November 8th.
Just the day before Li Jin packed his things and planned to return to China.
He was found by a well-traveled man.
This person's hairline is very high, and he even combs his hair upwards and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
The moment he saw Li Jin, a smile appeared on his face.
Open your mouth, exposing the entire upper row of teeth.
"Brother Jin, you finally agreed to meet me!"
Li Jin smiled and said: "I didn't see the message before, sorry."
While the man was talking, he took out a photo and showed it to Li Jin.
Li Jin discovered that it was a photo of him just getting off the plane and doing business next to the young lady.
The young lady’s hand was holding his arm, and she looked happy
"You're pretty good at taking pictures."
Li Jin was numb.
"No, no, Brother Jin, don't get me wrong."
The man said with a vicissitudes of life: "Actually, I came here with the will of the team on my back. That was the third time I came to Incheon Airport. The first time I was looking for a place, the second time I was still looking for a place, and the third time I finally waited for you. return."
"Then why didn't you say hello then?" Li Jin wondered.
"Because, considering that you were tired from the journey, I didn't want to disturb you."
"Just one look at you in the crowd is enough."
He forced out what he thought was a gentle smile.
"Gedi, please be normal. If you do this again, I will go back to the base."
"do not!!"
"Brother Jin, please stay!"
…
('-'*ゞGood morning, book friends! I saw some book friends in front of me spreading flowers and forcefully carrying me into the palace. I advised these book friends to show some martial ethics.
