Chapter 83: Oh my god, WE really sold the sales champion!
Chapter 83: Oh my god, WE really sold the sales champion!
There is no airtight wall in the world.
Just when Lin Shuyang returned to WE to fully assist in preparing for the playoffs.
I don’t know which insider in the circle “learned about it by accident”, or if someone deliberately released the news.
The news that JD.com, Weibo and Top Sports, the three giants, announced their entry into the e-sports field and started competing for WE's LPL seat spread throughout the entire e-sports circle overnight.
At the same time, topics such as #LOLLeague of Legends##LPL qualifying quota##sunshine resigns##WE second team##Lin Shuyang sets up his own company##WE response##layoffs affecting aorta# and so on simultaneously became the hot searches on Weibo.
【LPL is really getting better now. The days of running around looking for sponsorship are finally over. 】
[Big companies like Weibo and JD.com are all ready to exit, but what does Top Sports do? ]
[The one above, turn left and search on Baidu and you will know, you’re welcome! ]
[Top Sports is the largest sports retail operator in China. Three companies are competing for one spot. ]
[No, no, you are focusing on the wrong thing. Shouldn't the main point be that Guang Zhangmen will leave WE? ]
[Oh my god, WE is so poor that they even have to sell their sales champion! ]
[Don't be so mean, selling an LPL spot plus a second-team player, WE will definitely make a fortune this year. 】
[In the interview for the emotional semi-finals, he said that he would change his ID, which was a clear indication. 】
[If you think about it carefully, it seems normal for Guang Zhangmen to leave. He was just a manager of the second team in WE. Now that any of the three clubs has bought the quota for WE's second team, it is a time when talents are needed. With Guang Zhangmen's ability, he should at least be the general manager of a club! ]
[I just want to say that Pei Le is a big shot. He only paid Brother Yang a million-dollar annual salary for a few months, and he got back the money he invested and interest after reselling the property.]
[This WE fan is going crazy. Are you so short of money that you dare to sell everything? Are you going to sell the club to others next time? ]
[Pei Le: Oh, don’t say that. Really, don’t say that. As long as the money is in place, there is nothing I dare not sell.]
[Don't make blind guesses. Look at WE's official blog. Guang Zhangmen is still training young players, and he is also on the roster of WE's first team in the semi-finals. ]
[Oh, the sun is rising from the west. Boss Pei is willing to bleed so much to keep my brother Yang.]
Amidst a mixture of true and false news, WE's official Weibo suddenly released the semi-final roster, seemingly trying to dispel rumors about Lin Shuyang's stay or departure.
#WE eSports Club#
League of Legends LPL League 2017 semi-finals roster:
Top lane: 957 (Ke Changyu) TheShy (Kang Seung-rok!)
Jungler: condi (Xiang Renjie) Magic (Zhou Junxuan)
Mid: xiye (Su Hanwei)
AD: Mystic (Chen Shengjun)
Support: Sunshine (Lin Shuyang) Ben (Nandongxian)
Head coach: Homme (Yin Sung-young)
[Oh, it turns out our Brother Yang has been transferred to Team 1. ]
[Okay, okay, WE, as long as you stay, Master Guang, we can still be good friends. ]
[Go, go, go, with this super lineup this year, let’s win the LPL championship first, and then the Summoner’s Cup in the Serie A. 】
[Wait, wait, is my vision blurry? Brother Yang is not in the coach position, but in the support position? ]
【? ? ? (black question mark)】
[Did you recruit another player with the same ID as mine? WE, please come out and explain! ]
[It shouldn't be. When Guangzhangmen was a player, he had been using the ID sunshine. Besides, the ID is the same, so how can the real name be the same? Can your new player take over the original starting support position? ]
【I took a look at the Youth Challenge, and the head coach of the WE team is still Brother Yang. Why is he really playing the coach warm-up drama? 】
[If I remember correctly, when Brother Yang was transferred to the position of manager, he did not say that he had retired? ]
[With Master Guang's understanding of the game and his terrifying overall view, he can definitely play as a support. Although I don't know how he will cooperate with my brother-in-law, he is a coach himself, so he shouldn't be bad.]
[Oh, the semi-finals are about to start. I can’t wait.]
A coach who led his team into the LPL has suddenly returned to the arena where he had fought for several years. It can be said that the moment WE announced the semi-finals, the e-sports circle instantly became lively.
Only a small number of people expressed confusion.
Why. Why did you return to the team as a player at this time?
Since he can still play now, why didn't he switch directly from mid lane to support? There is also a veteran in the neighboring LCK who switched from mid lane to jungle, and it's not like these fans cannot accept it.
Now he has been the youth training manager of the second team for a few months, and he seemed to be deliberately showing off his management and coaching abilities.
If the three big companies rumored by the outside world really bought the LPL seat of WE Team II, how could they not be interested in the core figure behind the team who led the team to advancement?
On one side is the poor WE that has to pay a million-dollar annual salary in installments, while on the other side is the management team that can transform itself into a large enterprise.
Can't figure it out!
I really can't figure it out. Countless people can't figure it out. Why did Lin Shuyang return to the team as a player at this point in time?
Can't figure it out?
There was nothing to be confused about. On the way to the competition venue, Lin Shuyang read the comments from netizens online.
Turning to look out the car window.
Sunshine is sunshine, newborn is newborn!
Return to the team as a player.
I just wanted to put an end to my identity as a WE player under the name of sunshine before completely changing my identity.
……
"Okay everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting!!!"
At 13:2017 in the afternoon, Wawa's iconic loud voice was transmitted to every corner of the venue through the sound equipment on the stage. "This is Shanghai Zhengda Plaza, the site of the LPL Spring Playoffs semi-finals. I am your old friend Wawa."
"At the same time, our LPL youth training selection challenge will be held today. After the first round of preliminary selections, the four clubs will re-draw the participating players into two teams, red and blue. Today, we will have a wonderful BO1 red and blue PK on this stage for everyone." Miller then appeared in front of the camera and read out the news of the warm-up match before the semi-finals again.
"Now, let's invite the players of our red and blue teams to come on stage!"
"..."
In the commentary booth, after the two finished reading the advertising slogan, the director's camera decisively cut back to the scene.
Ten contestants and two coaches were already standing in the center of the stage, and two large vertical screens at the back of the stage were lit with red and blue lights.
Looking at the ten familiar faces in the live broadcast room, the audience gave their applause and cheers enthusiastically.
【Oh oh oh! 】
【jackeylove you are so handsome! 】
[Gao Tianliang, straighten your back a little, you don't look very imposing like this.]
【Angel is standing under the light. Without the light, you look even darker. 】
"Don't be nervous, just play as we did in the training match."
Facing the camera, Lin Shuyang, wearing a brown suit, patiently comforted the team members.
There is a simple ritual of standing on the stage and posing when appearing on stage. For him, it is already commonplace, but for newcomers who are stepping onto the big stage for the first time, it still requires a period of adaptation.
Because the BUFFs were fully stacked in this youth training selection activity, the final four players who persisted could no longer form four teams.
In order to prevent any of the four clubs from missing the challenge match to showcase their achievements, the official simply gathered the remaining players and made a combination. Based on their usual performance in training matches, two people were selected from each position to form two teams to play a BO1 exhibition match.
The four clubs have no objection to this. After all, they have already gotten the traffic and attention they deserve, and they can't just sit there and watch if they can't form a team.
In today's BO1 challenge, Lin Shuyang is in charge of the red team.
However, although they are dispersed and disrupted, in fact, most of the people on the Red Team are still the players who initially participated in the youth training selection activities and registered for the WE Club.
Top lane: sprint, jungle: tian, mid lane: Angel, bottom lane: jiumeng, support: xiaoyu.
Yes, of the five people who were able to perform on the stage, except for Juewang who signed up for professional play with Jiumeng but withdrew in the second week and was replaced by the newcomer Xiaoyu from EDG in the support position, the other four were the young talents that Lin Shuyang paid special attention to in the beginning.
In contrast, the opposing blue team had a patchwork lineup.
