At this moment, Chen Tianxiang and Zuo Wu were sitting in a classic private room. The two of them were chatting together and began to select people.
Although the two of them first chatted offline, they have actually been chatting online for a long time.
The core idea Zuo Wu conveyed to Chen Tianxiang was that Snake's boss was a second-generation rich man whose family was in the rare earth business. He really had a mine, and he was not trying to make a lot of money by running a club. He was just having fun.
For teams that plan to build a home stadium in 2017, funding has not always been a big problem.
And Zuo Wu has always been a very bold person, for someone who dares to love a goddess and bleed AD players.
Stud is also an art.
Although Snake is not the most wealthy club in the LPL, Zuo Wu does dare to play.
The one-year contract is 9 million yuan after tax. It is a pure competition contract and does not include the live broadcast contract. This is the maximum salary in 2016.
And the live broadcast contract of the subsequent team players was also signed under the name of Chen Tianxiang's affiliated guild Xiaoxiang Interactive Entertainment.
Even if it is not enough, you can add a gambling agreement.
Chen Tianxiang knew that Snake would definitely be able to make a lot of money from Chen Tianxiang's traffic.
But sincerity is enough.
More importantly, Zuo Wu patted his chest and told Chen Tianxiang that you have as much power as I have in the team.
He agreed to Chen Tianxiang's decisive position in the team and even gave him huge rights to intervene in team composition and BP decisions.
Chen Tianxiang said that if the bottom lane is good enough, he will give Zuo Wu a surprise.
Peanut is still wavering. For him, SKT is very tempting. There is brother Jing Hao there, and Chen Tianxiang said that he can bring him to China to give it a try.
Peanut has always had a good impression of China. He likes to eat hot pot and imitate Chen Tianxiang in swearing in Chinese.
Chen Tianxiang wants to ask Peanut to join him, but if his teammates are not good enough, then asking Peanut to come is a bit of a push into the fire pit.
As for Zuo Wu, it is a pity in terms of talent selection. The Korean players brought back from South Korea at high prices are more expensive than the basket.
But he is indeed generous enough. During this period of time, he tried his best to contact all the players he thought he could contact, and Chen Tianxiang was also involved.
Zuo Wu's eyesight is really too crouching. If Chen Tianxiang doesn't look at him, something could easily happen.
"LWX and LQS, you said it's very difficult to play in the secondary leagues. Which two?" Zuo Wu's tone was full of doubts.
What the hell are these two people doing?
"The future is promising." Chen Tianxiang heard his doubts and didn't explain too much. The two of them were really young now and didn't know if it would work out, so Chen Tianxiang didn't make a conclusion.
"Then YM's ming, do you still want it?" Zuo Wu really couldn't understand Chen Tianxiang's vision. Previously, PDD recommended Chen Tianxiang that support who couldn't be promoted or demoted. Chen Tianxiang also nodded and said that the future is promising.
"No, Tianxiang, I think our goal must be to win the championship, and win it on the world stage." Zuo Wu dared to put his fortune on Chen Tianxiang, but if these people have never played in the LPL , he felt a little guilty.
"It's okay to be young, shouldn't I play for a year? If you have the understanding, teach them things, they can understand them and implement them properly." Chen Tianxiang said that he was just hanging on the wall and had a way to make them successful quickly.
"Yeah, but just to be on the safe side, what do you think of swordArt and SMLZ?" Zuo Wu said his original plan.
"Have you found the LMS yet?" Chen Tianxiang was a little surprised that Zuo Wu was really hard at work.
"Hey, it's not bad. With you as a sign, it's much easier to find people."
Originally, when Zuo Wu contacted SwordArt, SwordArt disagreed a hundred times. As the core of the team that captured the peak of SKT in 15 years and ROX in 2016, SwordArt was the leader.
He really didn't feel how strong the LPL was.
Snake immediately said that he is an electric wolf in life and an electric wolf soul in death. I want to contribute my own strength to the LMS competition area.
He feels that the LPL is nothing more than giving him more money. How can a mere amount of money corrupt his heart?
Then Zuo Wu only said three words, Chen Tianxiang.
Snake then expressed with emotion that Mainland Baodao is a family, the LPL and LMS are the same family, and he is willing to bring his talent to the Snake team, and said that his nickname is also Snake, it is a perfect match.
"SwordArt and SMLZ are not bad."
As the commander of Flash Wolf, SwordArt has a pretty good mind.
"Mystic also asked, but WE won't let it go."
Zuo Wu was originally on the list and contacted Mystic, but there was no way. WE said that they would rely on this 2.0 lineup to make a breakthrough, and life and death were not for sale.
Chen Tianxiang rubbed his chin, thinking about the arrangement and combination of these people.
PDD suddenly made a call.
"Don't worry about the bottom lane. LGD said they can release him, but"
PDD obtained a top AD opportunity from LGD, but it seemed that there were additional conditions.
"What's wrong?" Chen Tianxiang asked.
"They said they wanted to swap junglers."
Due to the consecutive losses in S5 and S6, LGD has completely failed.
LGD decided to focus the club's focus on DOTA2. As for the League of Legends division, which cannot even enter the playoffs, their attitude is that it will be successful if they don't drop down.
IMP has long been dissatisfied with LGD's current baskets. When they heard that they could leave LGD, they readily agreed to the request.
But LGD is reluctant to give up the LPL spot. Recently, the LSPL teams have become more and more powerful, and IM even completed three consecutive championships last year.
LGD was a little afraid that they would lose IMP next year and be directly sent to the secondary league, so they proposed to exchange AD for a card in snake's hand.
"Okay, it has to be you." Chen Tianxiang said, thanks to PDD's connections, things were much easier to handle.
The three letters PDD are indeed prestigious in the professional circle.
"What did Xiao Ming say? If you don't want RNG, you're going to want it." PDD asked.
"Yes!" Chen Tianxiang answered immediately, but then he thought about it. Although IMP was fished out, although there was no transfer fee to exchange players, Imp's salary was very high.
If peanut is also coming, snake's funds may be really in danger.
In this way, SwordArt is a bit unlucky. His asking price must be much higher than Ming, an LSPL player. Rather than asking for more money, it would be better.
"But can you give one away? It's cheaper."
"Give me one? Who? I really can't give you my left hand. Aren't you a mid laner?" PDD heard the meaning of Chen Tianxiang's words and immediately protected his most valuable player.
"If you don't want your baby, why don't you pack it up and give it to me?"
"Don't you have an IMP?" PDD was confused as to why he wanted this AD.
"It's nothing, ning isn't worth anything."
"But, one thing to say, Ning, I plan to let him switch to the jungle, and he also has this intention." PDD was still struggling.
"Just go wild."
Chen Tianxiang said to himself, I really don’t want you if you don’t play jungle.
"Then let me ask him what he thinks."
"Just ask, let Xiao Ming come to practice in two days." Chen Tianxiang ordered.
Chen Tianxiang hung up the phone, "imp is coming."
He conveyed the good news to Zuo Wu.
"Awesome!" Zuo Wu felt like he was really going to take off now.
"But I have to exchange it with SofM, what do you think?"
"Huh?" Zuo Wu's expression suddenly changed, sofm it was time for him to stop his eyesight from wandering.
In his opinion, Sofm is a good horse that he discovered with his own hands. How could he give it to him for free?
"What about the jungle?"
"Um, do you know what surprise I'm talking about?"
"you say."
"Do you know about Grand Slam junglers?"
"Awesome!" Zuo Wu gave a thumbs up, Gou Ba, what's the use of SofM? Damn it!
"But the salary." Zuo Wu planned to do some hard work, but the landlord's family didn't have that much surplus food, right?
Chen Tianxiang's 9 million for his work may not sound like much, but it does not include Chen Tianxiang's live broadcast contract, and the live broadcast contracts of other members of Snake were also signed under the name of Xiaoxiang Interactive Entertainment.
In fact, the price offered to Chen Tianxiang has exceeded tens of millions a year.
It's really not possible to have another one.
"I can reduce my salary and exchange for club shares, okay?" Chen Tianxiang proposed a solution.
"Don't worry, I'll ask the boss."
Sofm sat in the room, "I heard that you two are going to lose your jobs?"
"Shahai, substitute." Li Xuanjun was finishing his blows at the side.
"Alas, what a pity." Sofm seems to be honest and honest, but how can a person who is extremely good at designing and intrigues in the jungle be so naive.
"Gou Ba, Vietnamese, please stop barking, maybe you can also be a substitute."
Rhythm didn't say anything, but Brother Crystal screamed loudly. For him, he had a psychological expectation that he would be criticized.
He has a very healthy mentality. After all, playing professionally is just life.
"I feel like I have won the championship. I feel a little bit happy just thinking about playing jungle for Chen Tianxiang." Sofm has of course seen the ROX game video. He can clearly see how Chen Tianxiang helps the jungle.
There is a jungle gang of this level that is unknown in the World Championship, but the LPL itself will definitely be all-powerful.
As for his own substitute?
Of course Sofm is not worried. His performance in S6 is outstanding enough in LPL.
There are only two people in the entire LPL who can control him in the jungle.
A fool, a master.
It's impossible for that idiot from LGD to squeeze himself out. As for the experts, the boss of EDG is named Ed Zhu. The boss is the purest piggy in the world. If you ask him to disband EDG, he won't even understand. Kai was let go.
"Don't let Chen Tianxiang kick you when the time comes."
"Hehehe." Sofm said nothing, just smiled innocently. He was not under any pressure.
Even if he finds a substitute jungler, he is still capable of starting.
He is now like Wei Yan on horseback, declaring who can kill me?
At this time, Zuo Wu's call came in.
"Xuanjun, prepare to free up the time the day after tomorrow and prepare for trial training."
"OK." Li Xuanjun from YY hung up the phone happily.
"Damn it, I have to work overtime. Let me see the value of FMVP mid laner." Li Xuanjun smiled brightly and felt that the future was bright.
Brother Crystal and Rhythm had a gloomy look on their faces, thinking that they might not be able to receive the call to help with the trial training.
"Alas." Sofm said nothing, just looked at the two of them, lamenting that people's joys and sorrows are not the same.
Then the phone rang.
Sofm looked at the numb expressions of the two brothers on the bottom lane and raised his phone.
"Trial training, right? I understand." Sofm deliberately raised his voice loudly. He obviously couldn't understand what the clerk was saying every time he paid, but now his Chinese words are fluent.
"What the heck, you know this too?" Zuo Wu was startled, thinking to himself that even if the Vietnamese think that wild monsters have a very good refresh time, can this be counted as well?
"I'm still in Shanghai, I can come back the day after tomorrow." Sofm shook his head, lamenting how lonely Invincible is. In the future, with a mid-level thigh belt, the future will be bright.
"Your practical training is not a matter of tomorrow."
Sofm frowned slightly, realizing that things seemed a bit complicated.
"Um, your tryout is next week, LGD."
Zuo Wu's words made Sofm's expression freeze.
Is he going to compete with that idiot for the starting spot?
The room was very quiet.
No one laughed.
After all, they were reduced to substitutes, and everyone was still on the same team, so the slightest joke was just a little too much.
If you laugh now, it's really too much.
It was Li Xuanjun who finally broke the silence. He patted Sofm, who was petrified as if he had been hit in the face by a snake girl.
Say, "Thank you for your efforts."
The next day, Chen Tianxiang posted a chapter on Weibo, [I have something to do today, I’m sorry. 】
Today is a trial.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"
Chen Tianxiang entered the voice link with the anticipation of everyone in Snake.
"Xiangshen!"
"Oh, Xiangshen!" IMP also said in Chinese with this strange accent.
As soon as I entered the voice chat, I heard Li Xuanjun’s extremely pure exclamation.
"Why do I feel like you are scolding me?" Chen Tianxiang scratched his head. In this era, the word "xiang" has a bad connotation in the mainstream context.
"My, my, God." Li Xuanjun's awkwardness has always been top-notch.
"Hey, hey, hey, hello! Hello!"
Peanut is still in South Korea at the moment, and under the arrangement of Chen Tianxiang, he created an account and linked it to the YY channel.
At this moment, I greet everyone in Chinese which I am not very proficient in.
"Hello, hello, Anihasayo." Flandre greeted warmly.
"Ah! Anihasa! Brother IMP, hello." Peanut still followed the Korean tradition and greeted the senior IMP.
Although the reputation of him leading South Korea is almost over.
"Hello, hello, who are we hitting today?" IMP greeted in Chinese with a strange accent.
"EDG, they are also trying out the new AD." Zhu Kai said.
In order to make up for the loss of deft, they found a new AD who is only 17 years old and is known as the genius among geniuses.
"It's okay, mid laner Chen Tianxiang, even a dog tied up in the jungle can win." Li Xuanjun continued to criticize.
"Haha, but I'm a little stressed. If I hit Meiko." Shi Senming is well-known as a social butterfly and a familiar person, but he is cheerful, but he will still be under a lot of pressure when facing Meiko.
"It's okay, I'm imp." A voice said, "On the other side, basket."
"OK" Xiao Ming scratched his head nervously, thinking, this person is a bit weird.
And now the EDG club.
Meiko is helping the child next to her adjust the equipment.
"Ah, Chen Tianxiang went to snake? What a surprise."
EDG coach Abu looked at the ID that came out of the custom room and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
The first time I saw this ID was during a training match.
He was so greedy for his first time.
But I didn't expect that I still couldn't love it in the end.
Now Chen Tianxiang's price is too high. Zuo Wu even signed the team's anchor contract to Chen Tianxiang. EDG gritted his teeth and quoted the price.
But the old hat guy didn't have enough money left at home. The salaries of EDG's players were already very high. They found a Zet and a new AD.
"Oh shit, what kind of lineup is this Snakes team? Three foreign players?" Mouse looked at the three IDs and suddenly the pressure came back.
"Well, Chen Tianxiang has an ID card. When he returns to China, he can switch to a local player." Abramovich said about the hidden rules, "It's just that when he returns to the LCK in the future, he will have to become a foreign player."
"Then the LCK doesn't have much foreign aid." Ming Kai scratched his eyebrows.
"So you got it for free." Abu brought it up. "I feel like their lineup is very exaggerated. How did Zuo Wu get it?"
"It still doesn't feel as good as ROX." Mouse smiled. He was a new support player. Flandre had already won many times on the top lane. Of course, the pressure was not as great as that given by smeb.
"Just don't shut yourself up again later." Ming Kai smiled.
"It's okay. I'm always optimistic. You care about... well, Hu Xianzhao." Mouse was stunned before he remembered the young man's name. "Although that old man from IMP didn't make the playoffs last year, he was very ruthless in the lane. Yeah, you have to take more care of me."
"It's okay. The support team opposite is also a young man. They are all old and leading the new. I believe in Tian Ye and Xiao Zhao." Abu encouraged the two of them.
"I will keep it," Ming Kai said.
"What should I do?" Abu asked.
"I'll try my best." Scout, who had not spoken for a long time, gritted his teeth and said.
Soon both parties entered the BP interface.
Snake blue side: Gnar, Blind Sin, Lissandra, Ashe, Lulu.
EDG red side: big tree, centaur, clockwork, ember, titan.
Because it was a trial training, the lineups selected by the coaches on both sides were very conventional. Chen Tianxiang was not creating any nightmares, Thain or the like.
The main thing is to use strange things to play the game, and the opponent will not get any trial training effect.
Both sides officially entered the game.
The two sides routinely look toward each other's jungle areas.
There were no team fights at level one.
Both sides are officially online.
Scout kept taking deep breaths.
Although Chen Tianxiang no longer carries the ROX team logo that would give EDG nightmares.
But because I have lost too many times, I still feel nervous inside.
"Do you want me to release the line or push the line?" Chen Tianxiang asked peanut in Korean, "Is there anything you want me to help convey?"
Lissandra's level 1 is not easy to push the clockwork army line, but it is not impossible to push it, it is nothing more than exchanging blood.
And no matter who has low blood volume, it is very dangerous when facing a team with strong ganking ability such as centaurs or blind monks.
Therefore, this decision must be communicated with the jungler.
"Let the line go, I'll push the line back to catch it." Peanut immediately responded to Chen Tianxiang. "For now, there's nothing to say."
Zuo Wu and Zhu Kai, who were watching the game, couldn't help but nod.
Originally, when I saw Chen Tianxiang's grand pomp and thought of Chen Tianxiang's previous rhythm, I actually felt a little disconnected.
But now it seems that, at least in the game, he is still kind.
"OK." Chen Tianxiang nodded, ready to put out the line and wait for the other side to push.
"But I have to press the line." Li Xuanjun, who was on the road, heard Chen Tianxiang communicating with the jungler and joined in.
"You have to press the line when you hit the road." Chen Tianxiang immediately translated this sentence to Peanut and told him, "Be careful, don't die."
He was a little afraid that something would happen to him.
Although this is Chen Tianxiang's first training match with Flandre, he understands his virtues.
Good operation is good.
But once the mentality collapses, it will start to show off, sometimes even more serious than SOFM.
This leads to Snake's record being always erratic.
It sounds magical.
Later, Li Xuanjun's operation has declined significantly compared to when he was young, and it has nothing to do with the three words that people commented on him as "operation weird" when he was young.
But it was because in the finals, when he faced Jiejie's question about whether he could lose anything on the road, he was able to happily say yes.
Then, he became a champion.
Therefore, in Chen Tianxiang's mind, Flandre's gaming talent is top-notch.
And how to transform them so that he can display his talents is the biggest problem this year.
In addition to the two of them, Ming and Ning also need to be taught, and they have to take their time.
"The other side seems to be entering my jungle area."
Peanut, who brushed everything from bottom to top, guessed Clearlove's intention.
He wanted to come in and find him while he had line rights in the middle.
"Want me to help look at it?"
Chen Tianxiang was a little surprised. Such a radical entry into the jungle was something Ming Kai could do?
If you add a 7 at the end, it will be different, right?
"But you will lose money."
"It's okay. I'll block my position on the road. If I lose lane, I can exchange his skills for him. He can't beat you with punishment, so you keep your Q."
"Uh, here I come." Li Xuanjun saw that the FMVP in the middle lane was willing to lose the line to support, so it didn't make sense for him to just wait until he finished his troops like before.
So he turned around and ran towards the wild area.
Chen Tianxiang directly abandoned a small wave of troops and pressed forward to the side.
The position he is standing in is just enough for your E to reach the entrance of the blue buff jungle area.
"The other side is coming." Scout and Mosue quickly pinged the troops planning to enter the jungle area.
"Tsk, so fast?"
Ming Kai clicked his tongue in discomfort.
In the past, Snake has always been a team that played well online, but was a piece of shit in terms of linkage and operations.
EDG can often benefit from jungle linkage.
After a few waves, sofm's mentality begins to change, and it will be much easier to win.
But the current snake is obviously not the same snake as before, at least the jungler has become a man who added 7 to his ID.
But now Mingkai saw Snake's middle-aged man approaching him first, which was really strange.
Chen Tianxiang cut off his escape path with an E.
He was forced to sprint back to escape.
Otherwise, he might be caught by Lissandra and the blind man, and the two Thunderbolts plus Gnar, who was on the way, might end up giving him nothing.
"He's not sprinting anymore. When the line is pushed back, you can go into the jungle to find him. I'll go with you." Chen Tianxiang watched the man and horse sprint and stopped chasing. He talked about his next plan. "He didn't flash or sprint. If you catch him, we can kill him directly."
"OK." Peanut nodded as usual and immediately prepared the next plan.
"Wow, is this the conductor of a world championship team? It feels different."
Zhu Kai, who was watching the game, could not hear the exchange between Chen Tianxiang and Peanut, but it felt as if the team had become different in the first few minutes before Chen Tianxiang arrived.
At this moment, Zhu Kai, Crystal Brother and Rhythm, who were not playing in the game, were listening to the voice in YY, and couldn't help but feel that the arrival of one person could make such a big change.
"When I look at Chen Tianxiang's first-person perspective, he will cut the screen to watch his teammates during games." Brother Jingshu said.
"Holy shit, won't you get caught if you commit a crime? Is he trying to catch criminals to put pressure on his teammates and make them perform better?" The rhythm of thinking is a bit different from ordinary people.
"Help his teammates make decisions and command, it's silly, it's like a tsar controlling his soldiers, you have to watch to operate, do you understand?" Brother Crystal cursed that he didn't understand the rhythm.
(End of chapter)
