Gu Xing first went to Casa to make an appointment, and the other party made a reservation at a restaurant beside Anhui Bridge.

It's not too far from the Bird's Nest, and it can be reached by walking another intersection. He can even walk there from the hotel.

"Lukang Town?" Gu Xing stood at the entrance of the restaurant to confirm the name of the restaurant, and Luo Dayou's song of the same name echoed in his mind.

"Taipei is not my home..." He hummed a few words in his heart, and saw Casa came out to welcome him.

"Congratulations," Casa said with a smile all over his face. His face was already long and his grin looked more like a shoehorn. "It's really strong to win the FMVP again!"

"It's okay," Gu Xing said modestly, "The teammate is the key, I just performed better."

He walked into the restaurant under the leadership of Casa, and took advantage of the opportunity to lead the topic to the other party, "How about you, I think you are very happy traveling?"

"Que's still not poking," said Casa, an optimist in his life, with a smile on his lips from time to time, "I feel open physically and mentally, much better than when I was eliminated half a month ago."

"To be honest, when I was eliminated in the group stage, my mentality almost collapsed!"

Kasa said in front of the chatterbox, "The main reason is that the sense of gap is unacceptable, you should be able to understand..."

Gu Xing nodded.

With strong empathy ability, he can put himself in the wolf king's mood.

Karsa officially debuted in the S5 season. He successfully entered the World Championship in the first season, and led the Flash Wolves to double-kill the Tigers in the group stage, and advanced to the quarterfinals as the number one in the group!

For the declining Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan competition areas, it is tantamount to a shot in the arm!

For the players, it is also a perfect start, as long as they continue to work hard, the future can be expected.

Casa probably thought so at the beginning.

However, the evolution of the situation made him a little difficult.

Top 16 for two consecutive years!

Who can stand this?

If he keeps fighting, he will soon become a big brother!

Therefore, Gu Xing believes that it is reasonable for the opponent's mentality to collapse at the end of this year's season.

After Kasa was seated, he opened the menu and began to order.

"This restaurant mainly serves our local dishes. In the past few days, I came back from visiting the scenic spots to eat at his restaurant. The taste is almost the same as my hometown," he briefly introduced, "especially the three cup chicken, which has basil. There is no cat cake in the recipe.”

Since Casa was the host, Gu Xing simply ordered two dishes according to the recommendation of the other party, and chose pineapple cake for dessert under the strong suggestion.

At the same time, he was very puzzled.

Now that Casa has adjusted, why ask him out?

Is it possible to treat a guest to a meal just to say congratulations alone?

In Gu Xing's impression, although the relationship between the two is considered close, it is not so good.

Three cups of chicken and pineapple fritters with shrimp arrived, and he studied the latter carefully.

At first, Gu Xing thought that the dish recommended by Casa was similar to the fried mooncake with tomatoes in the ninth largest college cuisine.

After listening to the explanation, I realized what it was.

Pour the shrimp paste into the deep-fried dough sticks, then mix it with pineapple and fry it together. After mixing with mayonnaise, there are dozens of lights above the table, and the appearance is very attractive.

Gu Xing was studying the dishes when he heard Casa's shy voice.

"that……"

Kasa first acted as a wave of racial knights with his mouth, and then looked at Gu Xing with full expectation, "Little Gu, do you think it will be okay if I come to the LPL next season?"

"Huh?" Gu Xing suspected that he had misheard.

It wasn't until Kasa repeated it that he was sure that his ears were still functioning normally and that he hadn't experienced auditory hallucinations.

Gu Xing was very surprised by Casa's idea.

Is it possible that it just corresponds to the phrase "Taipei is not my home"?

It turns out that everything has been foreshadowed in the dark!

He suddenly realized, and consciously understood the reason why Casa chose Lukang Town as the place for the dinner.

"Why do you want to come to LPL?" Gu Xing asked doubtfully, "You have to know that your reputation here is very average."

As for the reason, you know everything you know, and you can't help it if you don't know it.

Casa scratched his head in embarrassment, and then explained his reasons, "The main reason is that the LPL league is much more competitive than the LMS. Not only now, but in the foreseeable future, the gap between the two divisions will only continue to widen."

Although both LPL and LMS are the top divisions planned by Riot Games.

But there are also gaps between the top divisions.

Hong Haoxuan is very clear that the market in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan is too small, the player base in the server is not large, and many young people are still addicted to film, the number of active players playing League of Legends on PC is declining sharply.

It is incomparable with the mainland!

"If I want to achieve results, joining here is the best choice!"

Casa recently thinks more and more that LMS has no future.

With a group of insects, how to achieve results in international competitions?

Look at this year's Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan No. 3 seed HKA, who was eliminated by the Brazilian wild card in the play-in stage.

No more faces!

People go to high places, and Karsa thinks that his desire to leave the Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan competition areas is understandable.

LPL, which does not have much difficulty in language communication, is definitely the first choice!

Of course, another factor is salary.

The market in the LMS competition area is small, and sometimes free tickets for the regular season may not be able to fill the seats. The sponsors are all supported by brands such as ASUS on the island, and the salaries of the players will naturally not be high.

The super giant contract that Casa signed with Flash Wolves after the rookie contract ended was only NT$7 million.

The 10% discount is already the highest salary ever in the LMS division!

How to compare with LPL?

Casa originally only knew that there are many rich people in mainland China, and the salary of players is generally higher than that of LMS.

But I never expected that the gap would be so huge!

During the S7 World Championship, Casa learned about the approximate salary of many LPL players.

700W NT dollars, even Mengxin Jack can’t afford it!

In addition to the two stinging apes, Casa usually plays with the watch with one hand.

He found that if he continued to stay in the LMS competition area, it would be difficult to buy two watches with the money he saved all his life!

Gu Xing nodded, expressing deep respect for Sister Li, "Have you got a job yet?"

"A club has given me a potential interest," Casa admitted frankly, "I just approached Miss Xiao Bi...it is our electric wolf team leader, who is coming to contact the license agreement in advance. Although my contract has not yet expired, I can seek it in advance. Next year's team."

Some of the special words on Wanwan's side are different from those in mainland China, but Gu Xing can tell what they refer to at a basic level.

Before the start of the transfer period last year, members of the Tigers also signed similar documents, which can give players more room for bidding and consideration, so as not to make a hasty choice.

After all, it is not an easy task to cross competition regions. There are many contract details that need to be communicated in advance, and it will take time to process.

"Xiao Gu, what do you think of me coming?" Kasa repeated the previous question.

"If you can withstand the pressure of public opinion, then LPL is indeed a good choice for you..." Gu Xing took the precautions in advance, "But you have to be mentally prepared in advance that you won't be able to enter the World Championship, the competition here is very fierce. "

The LMS division is sunset and West Mountain, and can still get 3 World Championship places every year. Among them, Flash Wolves and AHQ are basically equal to walks. Casa has always been worried about the results of the S game. The league champion has already won the hand and is weak!

The LPL is different.

There are also 3 places. There are too many local talents and powerful foreign players here. With the support of top clubs willing to spend a lot of money, the competition intensity is frighteningly high!

It's really not sure that Casa will be able to enter the World Championship!

"Xiao Gu, what you said is indeed a problem," Hong Haoxuan nodded solemnly and agreed, "But I have figured it out. I would rather not enter the World Championships than be humiliated by others in the top 16!"

If they are in the same competition area, they can still say "the top 16 is definitely better than at home", but there is no comparability between different competition areas.

Like HKA, which was eliminated in this year's qualifying round, who can say without conscience that it is better than LPL's WE who fell in the last step of the bubbling match?

In Casa's view, if the strength is not strong enough, entering the World Championship will be humiliated for no reason!

"What you said is wrong," Gu Xing swallowed the chicken, and muttered in his mouth, "there are not a lot of top 16 teams produced by the LPL."

"That's better than the LMS seeded team that fell in the play-in round!" Casa retorted.

Gu Xing had nothing to say.

If it is higher than the lower limit, LMS Queshi is a bit difficult to stretch.

"Oh, by the way," Gu Xing remembered another important key, and quickly reminded Kasa, "Be careful when you sign the contract. You must pay attention to the term and the remark clauses. Don't be tricked!"

He reminded the other party only when he remembered what happened to Xiangguo.

Liu Shiyu has been working as a child laborer for RNG with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, which is less than 1/10 of other junglers of the same level!

If he had to play tricks, then Queshi signed the contract himself, and no one forced him.

But Gu Xing still defended his friend.

The experience is like signing a fixed-salary contract with the company when you were a new worker, but you still get that meager salary when you become a leader in performance later on!

Gu Xing is also a player, so he can naturally feel the same way.

After hearing about Xiangguo's deeds, Kasa rarely put on a straight face, "Is there such a thing?"

"Then I have to find Miss Bi to find out the lawyer's price, and I'll talk about it after being fully prepared..." He was very apprehensive.

A jungler at Xiangguo's level can't get NT$100,000 for a month?

To the north, NM is outrageous!

At the same time, Casa was grateful that the LPL club that first invited him was not RNG.

After filling his stomach, Gu Xing walked around the Olympic Park with Casa for half an hour, digesting food and chatting about the mountains, and then rushed to the hotel coffee shop for an appointment to meet Little Peanut - the players there seem to have coffee in their blood, like Kuro more It is Tiantianbing American style that is always in hand, and most of the appointments and meetings are usually held in cafes.

"You want to come to LPL too?!"

He couldn't hide his astonishment, and couldn't help but raise his volume slightly.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Two fans recognized you just now, and even came over to ask for your autograph and take a photo!"

Gu Xing took it for granted. After winning the championship in the Bird's Nest, his popularity has risen to a higher level.

After all, the series of hot searches were not for nothing.

At present, as long as you go to a place where there are many young people, it is easy to be seen through.

Little Peanut moved closer to Gu Xing and lowered his voice, "But why did you say 'also'?"

"Because before you, there was another powerful jungler who said he would come to LPL to test the waters." Gu Xing shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't hide it. "Karsa plans to come and have a try."

He had asked Casa in advance, but the other party didn't want to hide the idea of ​​testing the LPL, and was eager to promote it more.

After all, as the Lightning Wolf Wolf King, Kasa's strength is obvious to all. Once the news of his transfer to LPL is released, it will inevitably attract competition for snatching, and his value will also rise by then!

Little Peanut raised his eyebrows.

He immediately realized that the biggest advantage of Kasa coming to LPL is that there is no language barrier. There are certainly gaps in specific words such as some heroes and skills, but he can get used to it after only a few months of learning!

"It's said that Casa decided to come to the LPL because he was not satisfied with the competitiveness of the competition area. What is the reason for you?" Gu Xing couldn't figure out the situation, "Is Dragon Ball's results good enough?"

Spring Championship + MSI runner-up + S final four, this result may not be enough for VG.

But looking at the world, there are almost no comprehensive scores that can stabilize them!

Little Peanut was extremely helpless, "The boss of Dragon Ball wants to suppress our salary, saying that he is going to engage in KRKPL, and not only the money for next year will be reduced, but even the supervision will be taken away!"

"Ah Yixi, why would anyone be optimistic about mobile e-sports?" He was very irritable.

Gu Xing was so shocked that he was at a loss for what to do.

Dragon Ball Dragon Ball, you can tell from the name that this is a Chinese-funded team.

It’s a bit like Huya, which invested in the Tigers before, but this time the funder has been replaced by the Dragon Ball live broadcast platform, and the speaker is Chen Qidong—this person was in charge of hosting LPL earlier than the Banana Project. The commentators are all attached to the banner, and they can be regarded as the veterans of the e-sports industry.

Thinking of this, Gu Xing couldn't help laughing.

It has to be said that Little Peanut seems to have an indissoluble bond with the Chinese-funded team.

And every time something weird happens.

In the past, Huya refused to settle the money, so the Tigers changed their name to ROX and rented a broken house to train hard.

Now it has become a funder to allocate funds and personnel to play the KRKPL event of Glory of Kings.

Pure mildew ratio!

"If we want to leave the team, all of us will have to find new homes," Little Peanut muttered, "I think the LPL style is quite suitable for me, so I want to come and give it a try, maybe we can take off?"

As we all know, LCK has been popular in grass-fed junglers in recent years.

Insedy and other four wild kings were also omnipotent before, and their carnivorous style of play was extremely fierce, but they either retired or left the competition area, and the remaining little peanuts were mixed among Xiao Hei, An Zhangmen and others who had been transformed by Kkoma, and they seemed out of place!

Little Peanut is still fighting with Jin Jingzhu this year, and he is exhausted.

The head coach insisted on forcing him to change his style of play, switch to an unfamiliar herbivorous style, and control Tubuyan to provide information to the team, changing from the original jungle dominant line to online players dominating the jungler.

Naturally, Han Wanghu would not accept it easily, insisting on his own way of playing unwaveringly!

But the internal friction in the team also made him extremely tired, so he set his sights on LPL.

Little Peanut has heard from Gu Xing a long time ago that the main focus of the LPL competition is tolerance and unrestrained style. Many teams' BPs are negotiated by players, and the junglers can even play Lucian!

Looking at Mala Xiangguo's crazy invasion performance in this year's World Championships, he was even more excited!

If I come to LPL, do I still worry that I have nowhere to play?

impossible!

"Then I definitely support it," Gu Xing raised his hands in agreement, and accidentally turned it into a French military salute, "If you have any difficulties or need to match up, feel free to contact me, our network is definitely unique in the LPL!"

He is still imagining the grand occasion of next year's competition area, "At that time, everyone will come to LPL, and the league will definitely be thriving!"

What Little Peanut wants is Gu Xing's promise to help. After all, this is a well-deserved totem figure in the LPL. With him, the league is basically walking sideways.

After relaxing, he joked, "Oh boy, are you not afraid that I will threaten your dominance?"

Gu Xing also glanced at him.

"Are you thinking too highly of yourself?" Gu Xing commented mercilessly, "Just ask what kind of champion you are, and you can still threaten our double champion?"

I didn't expect that there was a certain degree of threat.

"Really, Little Peanut wants to come to LPL?" Gu Pan was very pleasantly surprised when he heard the news, "That's great. When the Spring Split starts, I'll ask Sister Jiajia for a press card to go in and interview him!"

Gu Xing was eating dinner, showing fried noodles in his mouth, when he heard his sister's words, he rolled his eyes in disbelief.

"No way, you actually support Little Peanut?"

He was out of balance.

I'm not much better than Peanut?

Gu Pan's expression is happier than meeting him!

"There's no comparison," Gu Pan said with disgust, "I'm tired of looking at your face every day, how cute is Little Peanut?"

Gu Xing was speechless.

Shen Guanshan who was eating melon seeds at the side immediately jumped out to show his loyalty, "It's okay, I won't get tired of watching it."

"It has to be you, Guan Shan..." Gu Xing finally got some psychological comfort, and the phone suddenly vibrated twice.

Information notification from the VG training department.

Ding Jun: [ @everyone, the season documentary has been launched, everyone go to Weibo and other social media to repost and comment, to help promote it]

Immediately afterwards, another red envelope was thrown out, Song Jinghao's hands were fast, and after grabbing it, he said thank you boss as the Romans did.

Gu Xingqie went to the VG official blog, forwarded it and liked it before playing the video.

The title of the season documentary is simple and straightforward - "From the Staples Center to the Bird's Nest"

The progress bar is quite firm, a full 40 minutes and 11 seconds.

As soon as he clicked in, Gu Xing saw an overwhelming barrage of bullet screens coming into view!

The explosive heat after VG won the championship has not dissipated. Not long after the video was released, the number of views on a single platform rushed to a shocking number.

[Turtle, the treasure video is here! 】

【Nobody found out that Shichang has a little easter egg? VG won the championship on November 4th, and the length of the documentary was reversed to 40 minutes and 11 seconds]

[The editors and directors are interested. Boss Ding is really rich and powerful. He kicked out the documentary within two days after winning the championship. I guess he paid a lot of overtime pay.]

[VG is awesome! LPL cards! 】

[The well-deserved No. 1 club in LOL, I had to uninstall the game two weeks ago, I didn't expect VG to win the championship, and my buddy brought LOL back again, a proper domestic savior of League of Legends! 】

The beginning of the video is the scene where all the members of VG hold up the summoner trophy under the golden rain at the end of the S6 World Championship. Accompanied by the passionate voice of the on-site commentator Kang, the audience's enthusiasm was instantly aroused!

The picture briefly freezes on the commemorative group photo of S6 holding the cup.

Then, the figures of Zhong Shang and Sagittarius gradually faded away.

Only Gu Xing and Duan Deliang were left.

After a brief black screen, there was an interview with the players.

Gu Xing saw himself sitting on a chair in the small black room in the camera, with a relaxed expression and undisguised joy on his face.

"Eh? Was this interview recorded after winning the championship?" Gu Pan asked curiously.

Gu Xing nodded, "Boss Ding specially found a studio, let us spare half a day to record some material."

The voice-over sounded in the documentary.

"Brother Xing, how did you feel when you suddenly received the news that the champion teammate left after the S6 season?"

From the perspective of the video, Gu Xing thought for a long time, as if immersed in the memories of a year ago.

"It was very sad at first. After all, the VG team in S6 was the first batch of official teammates after I embarked on a professional career. I was not used to parting for the first time," he said, "But after a two-day delay Knowing that you have to accept reality.”

"Life is like a train, rolling forward, you will meet many people along the way, but there are not many who can accompany you until the end," Gu Xing said, "At that time, I had to calm down and devote myself to preparing for the next season. "

The staff turned to another question, "So before the start of the season, did you think that you would win a single-season Grand Slam?"

Gu Xing thought for a while, and answered truthfully, "I thought about winning the championship, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult along the way, and the content of the competition presented on the stage is so easy."

As soon as the words fell, the documentary cut to the beginning of 2017.

"welcome!"

The VG club was very lively, Jin Wenhyuk entered the door with a suitcase, and shouted to the people guarding the door, "I brought him over!"

Thunderous applause echoed in the not particularly spacious space.

Song Jinghao and Li Ruixing, who entered the door after him, were a bit cautious at first, but they finally put on a smile when they saw Gu Xing.

"Long time no see, Sales Gu!"

At that time, Song Jinghao smiled and punched Gu Xing in the chest, "How about it, do you miss me?"

Gu Xing smiled warmly like a spring breeze, and couldn't understand what Smeb was saying, so he dragged the two newly arrived Korean aids to the training room next door.

"Take a look at the training environment first, you two just sit next to me," he was very enthusiastic, "If there are any missing items, just bring them up, we have a team leader who can help solve them!"

"Hey, look at how clean the desk is. There is no snack packaging. Only by concentrating on it can you become an FMVP!" Li Ruixing praised him immediately. He is not good at Chinese at this time, and the communication is purely in Korean. .

As everyone knows, it was faithfully recorded by the camera and presented to everyone after adding translation in the later stage.

There were so many barrages, they flew past Gu Xing's eyes non-stop.

[Welcome to the place where the Grand Slam dream begins! 】

【Good guy, it turns out that Tam has already started licking at this time? 】

[It can be clearly seen that Kuro's licking skills at the beginning of the year have not yet achieved great success, and it is far from the licking skills shown in the voice content of the microphone in the game at the end of the year]

[At this time, the two Korean aids had no Chinese foundation at all. I remember that during MSI, they could communicate game information in Mandarin without any pressure. The language talent is ridiculously strong! 】

【powerful? It’s nothing more than some Korean players don’t want to learn that’s all, they just learn some special terminology in the game, I don’t know how long it will take]

The documentary pursues the traditional practice of promoting before suppressing, and puts contradictions in front of everyone when it comes up.

In the camera, Hongmi stared at the tactical whiteboard with frowned eyes. Part of the content of the training match on it was mosaiced, only revealing the information of VG's winning rate.

Very pessimistic.
