"Asuna...should be the first Chinese player in history to be invited by SKT with a large sum of money, right?"
"That's right, sparrow food! But I still hope Asuna won't go."
"Speaking of which, I'm actually not very disgusted with this. I really want to see Yu Bao and Brother Li become teammates~ If I go, Yu Bao's three consecutive championships are guaranteed!"
"Everyone, please stop spreading rumors. SKT has never expressed its position at all, so that's pretty much it~"
"! People upstairs, look at SKT’s official account!"
Just when everyone was talking about it and the discussion was at its hottest, SKT, which had been pretending to be dead, suddenly made a statement.
It was this news that pushed this public opinion storm to its peak:
[SKT Esports Club]: "IG's player Asuna is one of the world's top top laners. The news currently appearing on the Internet is basically true. Our department does intend to cooperate with player Asuna!"
"We are currently actively contacting Asuna players. The specific cooperation intentions and final results will be announced in the future."
Stone hammer!
At this juncture when the entire Internet was discussing whether SKT really wanted to poach Asuna, SKT personally stood up and confirmed the authenticity of the news.
And not just on Weibo, SKT made announcements and confirmed it on global social networking platforms.
This time, not only domestic, but also international audiences and professional players became excited. The audience was mostly excited, while the professional players were shocked.
Asuna+Faker is a combination that makes people excited just thinking about it. It gave everyone almost unlimited room for imagination.
Among them, the discussion on the Korean Internet is the most intense, even worse than in China.
After all, after two years of miserable defeats in the S-League and S8 having no results for a whole year, the LCK is currently the region that most wants to change the status quo.
Bao Xiaodi, who previously served as a host in Incheon, immediately posted the news on Korean online: "If you can, please be sure to invite Asuna to the LCK division! Please!" @SKT E-Sports Club
Among the people in the LCK who are most eager to change the status quo, Emperor Pao Xiao is definitely the most determined one.
Now every time he thinks about the heroic words he said in the S8 pilot documentary, he feels a dull pain in his cheeks, but if Asuna can be introduced, even a few more pains will be acceptable.
[In view of the general environment,
Other Korean netizens were also very excited about the news:
"It's true that SKT wants to dig up Asuna? Asuna, this is a good idea!"
"Asuna can come to Korea, I'm so excited just thinking about it!"
"Don't get excited first! It's just a matter of discussion now and nothing has been finalized."
"To be honest, I personally don't think LPL players are better than LCK players. Aren't they all better than us Koreans? But Asuna is an exception... She makes it impossible for me to say without conscience that our top laner is better than us. She is strong~"
"Same as above, I feel the same way! If there are arguments for other positions, Asuna is undoubtedly the strongest top laner in history! If I can see her in the LCK, I will be very happy!"
"Haha, I liked Asuna before and there were so many people criticizing me, but now you keep going! I'm talking about SKT fans! Come on! Keep going!"
"Um... I apologize to you. We did speak too loudly before."
Just kidding, I was angry at Asuna for causing Faker to die in the Bird's Nest, and I was afraid that she would be unsolvable when playing against the Korean team, as if she had a buff bonus.
But if you want her to come to SKT, then they won’t be sleepy! The person who knows you best is always your enemy. Before, you were black because of fear, but now it’s reversed.
They always believed that SKT couldn't get up because there was an insider holding Faker back.
The back legs, especially the top laner! If Asuna can join the team, what kind of bike will they need!
The explosion of public opinion on Korean websites and forums also caused netizens who specially went to check the news to bypass the wall and sent screenshots back to China. Domestic netizens were stunned when they saw it.
They also didn't expect that LCK fans, who are notorious for being extremely xenophobic on the Internet, would react like this.
When S8 lost, they were still shouting at IG on the Internet, but now within a few days, it has become "Taijun, there is a shortcut here, can you take this way?".
Only the LPL professional players were not surprised. After all, they had seen how popular Yu Hui was in Korea, and he was not inferior to any star player at all.
————
"Sister Yu, you didn't sign with SKT, right?"
Ah Shui asked nervously on the WeChat call.
In the evening, when Yu Hui finished recording the song and walked out of the Forthe studio, her phone was filled with all kinds of messages as soon as she turned it on, and it kept ringing.
Jklove was the first pop-up window after she turned on her phone and clicked on WeChat. Until this moment, Yu Hui was still confused and couldn't figure out what to do.
What the hell? Didn't she already reject SKT? Why do people still ask this question?
Yu Shuang on the side finally told Yu Hui about the storm of public opinion on the Internet.
She thought for a moment and realized that SKT didn't want to give up yet.
But if this is true, I still think too much. Her current relationship with IG is actually the same as Faker's relationship with SKT.
I haven't seen any team that can recruit Faker. Isn't it difficult for her to change teams?
Yu Hui shook his head, flipped through the records, and found that there was no missed call from Principal Wang, nor was there any WeChat message.
He turned to look at Yu Shuang and chuckled: "It seems that the principal is still very steady and calm~ We can't say that he can only throw coins around in the future."
Yu Shuang nodded in agreement upon hearing this: "It's true!"
At this time, Principal Wang, who Yu Hui said was "steady" and "calm", was gnashing his teeth and frantically contacting the network in his hands, muttering incessantly:
"You poach me, right? I let you poach! I poach too! Look who poached who! More money than labor? Do you know how much money my stage name makes?"
But just when Yu Hui felt that Principal Wang could keep his composure, he called.
Yu Hui answered the phone in confusion and heard the principal inside say a few words: "Wait for me, I'm on the plane flying to Paris now. Let's discuss the details of the contract."
Yu Hui was very surprised: "Huh? Is it because of the SKT incident? Are you really afraid that SKT will poach me? Didn't I say that as long as IG is not too outrageous, I don't think there is a reason for me to leave."
"Ahem, I'm not afraid that you will be poached by SKT, but I am afraid that... you will be poached by other teams."
Principal Wang's tone was full of resentment at this time, as if something had impacted his outlook on life, and he almost gritted his teeth and said:
"Do you know what the highest offer offered to you by an outside team is?"
Yu Hui suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "How much?"
"One hundred million!"
"????"
Yu Hui raised his voice in a rare voice: "How much?!"
Principal Wang was also sobered up by Yu Hui's reaction, and replied: "One hundred million...still one year."
Speaking of 100 million, Principal Wang's tone was still a little shocked. LPL has not always boasted about it before. UZI and the factory director were both rumored to have a signing fee of over 100 million.
But everyone in the industry basically knows that this is pure bullshit. Unless a professional player signs a long-term contract for more than five years, and then adds up the five-year salary to tens of millions, this is possible.
Even if Faker has reached this level, that is the total income including the SKT shares he owns, not the signing price.
But so far, the club has really lost it in the player market.
Yu Hui is definitely the first in the history of League of Legends to offer 100 million!
Yu Hui himself was stunned when he heard this offer. This price is more than enough for a strong LPL team, so why buy her alone?
"Are you kidding me? This is some little bastard club that is jacking up prices."
"FNC and C9, TSM..."
"Oh. It's okay then~"
Yu Hui heard that these European and American teams also understood that the financial backers behind several wealthy European and American clubs were very powerful, and there was really no shortage of money.
And they basically have the channels and experience to invest and operate in other sports industries. If they dare to spend the money, they will definitely make it back.
After a brief shock, Yu Hui became more playful: "Hey, Xiao Wang, I'll wait for you in France~"
Principal Wang: "????"
"I'm sorry, you are too real. Okay, Sister Yu! Just wait for me there and don't move around. I'll be there in a while."
Yu Hui hung up the phone happily. She had already decided to stay at IG. Although the offer of 100 million was scary and exciting, she still wanted teammates with the ability to compete for the championship.
This is not only the strength on paper, but also issues such as the tacit understanding between the team members. She is already very familiar with IG.
And seriously speaking, although the temptation of 100 million is very great, she doesn't have a high demand for money now. After all, she really wants to make money. Is she worried that she won't make any money when she debuts on the spot?
But it’s okay to expand a little. That sentence made Xiao Wang call Yu Hui a happy yuppie.
But what he said about not moving around is so meowing!
After hanging up the phone on the private plane, Principal Wang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel happy.
Yu Hui's ability to joke proved that she was not too tempted by that, and everything was easy to talk about.
At this time, the Internet was already in a turmoil, and domestic and international social platforms were already in a state of turmoil.
#Asuna is worth 100 million#
There has been an uproar on the Internet for a long time, and again, Yu Hui is the only player who has been officially recognized with a 100 million offer.
Now Europe and the United States are in complete chaos, and fans have already started carnival, waiting for Yu Hui to settle in the European and American divisions.
They simply didn't think any player could refuse this offer. Even the domestic audience was dumbfounded and began to doubt their lives.
They asked themselves, a transfer fee of 100 million, a small goal can be obtained directly with a nod, they themselves feel that this temptation is irresistible.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the owners of many clubs kept scolding each other in small groups. They had previously thought about making an offer to Asuna to see if they could pick it up, but they were immediately stunned:
"DNMD! How can we poach the European and American girls with an offer of 100 million?!"
"I*** the entire club combined is not worth 100 million..."
"Fuck! Me too, I have to add the money to buy the LPL quota plus all the players, it's almost worth 100 million..."
"I can't even spend 100 million to put together five star players. This time Europe and the United States have really gone too far! They are driving up prices."
I really can’t blame these club owners for cursing and cursing. Even now in the period of rapid development of LPL, 99% of professional players are not worth more than a few million.
There are only a few celebrities with a net worth of tens of millions, and if someone is worth over 100 million, they may not have that much liquidity!
Some of them may not even have 100 million in their pockets, so how can they dig it out? Even if they do dig it out, who will work for whom?
Just as the Internet was surging, Yu Huina posted a new update on Weibo and Twitter, which had not released news since winning the championship:
"Do you miss me? If you miss me, go see her @Seraphine at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. I will broadcast live there. See you there, bro!"
"????"
"What? Sera
Who is phine? Why do I think Yubao wants to see her? Could this be a love rival? ! "
"No! Asuna is not allowed to have a girlfriend, let alone a boyfriend! OK, OK! The bear's ass is raised, it's great for giving birth!"
"The ones upstairs are real and fake. Send me a few private photos, Kangkang, and I will authenticate them for Yu Bao."
"Keep your voice down upstairs. I heard the sound of your abacus from NMG."
"Y1S1, who is Seraphine? I just clicked on it and took a look. It's a pink-haired two-dimensional girl."
"We won't know until tomorrow. I'm quite curious as to whether Asuna will respond directly to these things on the Internet~"
But anyway, the news that Asuna will live broadcast tomorrow has been confirmed. This is Yu Hui's first live broadcast since the end of S8, and it is attracting everyone's attention.
Starting the broadcast with a Seraphine account was a trick Yu Huigang came up with out of the blue.
The basic design of Seraphine has been basically completed before, but the official launch plan has not been finalized yet.
Isn’t this storm of public opinion just the right opportunity to knock on your door? If the live broadcast is started simply to respond to the problems of SKT and European and American clubs.
That would be equivalent to advertising them in vain.
Damn you guys, aren't you using me to heat up the situation? I can't just be the one being prostituted for free, right?
So Yu Hui directly contacted the team responsible for docking at Riot and began to cooperate with her to build momentum and invest in publicity and promotion.
Finally, the two accounts were directly merged to seamlessly connect the popularity and traffic, allowing the entertainment industry to see what it means to create a star!
Riot Games, who were secretly observing, saw that the attention on the Internet had begun to focus on Seraphine, and their faces were already numb with laughter.
They also noticed the public opinion turmoil on the Internet this time. All people related to the e-sports and gaming circles, and even passers-by who had not paid attention to these before, were attracted.
It can be said that it covers all of Seraphine's potential audience groups. As long as it is done properly, Seraphine will be a world-class superstar when she debuts.
They didn't spend a penny to borrow a "power" that maybe they couldn't achieve even if they spent tens of millions or hundreds of millions in publicity expenses. How could they not laugh?
Now I want to laugh like a pig.
As soon as Yu Hui's Weibo and Twitter messages were posted, riding on the popularity of "billion-dollar transfers", "SKT signings", "AsunaS9's whereabouts" and other turmoil, he immediately landed at the top of the hot search list.
The hot searches for S8IG's championship were squeezed out, and by the way, the hot searches for a celebrity who started to buy traffic were pushed out of the top ten.
Looking at Yu Hui's Weibo message, that short sentence exceeded 30,000 comments in less than five minutes, and the number of likes and retweets exceeded 200,000.
The extremely outrageous activity of this fan group has made the e-sports circle and the entertainment circle completely understand what the gap is.
A single piece of news can generate such terrifying popularity and traffic. Even top-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry have to rely on big enough explosions to reach similar levels.
As for the e-sports circle...the official WeChat account of the IG e-sports club that just won the championship posted a celebratory post yesterday, but it still hasn’t received 50,000 comments as of today...
My own player beat up the club, what a joke~
However, this also made many domestic capital bosses suddenly understand why someone would offer a sky-high transfer fee of 100 million.
There was a sudden fire in my heart, and I wanted to participate in this poaching battle.
With this unique influence in the domestic and foreign e-sports circles, Te Miao’s 100 million seems to be a bargain~
