Alliance: My Qinggang Shadow made my alma mater famous

Chapter 309 [We will become giants]

"Asian Games?" When Su Chen heard PDD's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered everything in an instant.

In the original time and space, in the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, League of Legends was included as an exhibition event.

This is also the first time that e-sports has been included in an international traditional sports event.

The final result was that the China team led by Uzi defeated the Han Country team led by Faker.

The official media also fully affirmed the results of this exhibition match, which can be regarded as an extensive positive publicity for e-sports at the social level.

In every way, the meaning is profound.

From the Spring Split until MSI, Su Chen devoted himself to the game, and the media didn't discuss much about it, so he forgot about it for a while.

Until today, PDD was suddenly mentioned.

"You mean...do I have a chance to participate in the Asian Games this time?" Su Chen felt a little uneasy.

Even if he has won the league championship and MSI championship successively in the past six months.

However, the Asian Games is another matter entirely.

Even if it is an exhibition event.

That is also wearing the national flag in a serious way, representing Huaxia's pursuit of honor in e-sports.

It's not like the "national team" that many sunspots have ridiculed in the past.

Moreover, for traditional sports athletes, there may be more than one chance to participate in the Asian Games.

However, for e-sports players with a shorter career life, it may really be the only chance in this life.

If he can really stand in the arena of the Asian Games and play with the national flag.

Su Chen believed that her parents would be proud of herself.

And in Jiangzhou University of Science and Technology, those teachers and classmates who once questioned his choice will let go of their prejudices and approve of his choice.

"I can only say that the chances are great, but before I formally apply to the LPL, I have to talk to you and confirm your thoughts." PDD simply revealed something.

For the League of Legends exhibition event of the Asian Games this time, the criteria for selecting players are based on two points.

First, the competitive state of the players.

Second, the qualifications of the players.

This time, the lineup selection method for the Asian Games is jointly recommended and voted by the LPL officials and the coaches of the 18 clubs in the league.

In fact, just look at the first point.

There is no doubt that Su Chen should be selected by unanimous votes.

In the MSI championship match, Su Chen's performance was already the undisputed LPL No.1.

In terms of competitive status, among the [-] clubs in the current LPL, among the one or two hundred players, no one has the confidence to say that he can match Su Chen.

However, the key point is that Su Chen's career, even including the month of LSPL, is only six months long.

This may involve some thresholds for this lineup selection.

"If I have the chance, I really want to participate in this Asian Games," Su Chen nodded heavily, "But, am I the only one in the YM team who has a chance to be selected?"

"This...it's probably the case," PDD showed embarrassment, "It stands to reason that the kids in the team are indeed too young, and the LPL officials also have to consider the popularity of the contestants and other aspects..."

"If possible, let's add another quota," Su Chen said, "Everyone has won the MSI championship. I don't think it's fair to be the only one to compete."

"Well, well, I'll try my best to fight for it." PDD saw that Su Chen agreed, and he quickly expressed his opinion that he will try to get one more spot from the LPL official.

As for whether this spot is for Xiaotian or the left hand, or Zhang Xiaowen or Bovy, it also depends on how the specific lineup will be matched when it comes out.

After talking about the Asian Games.

The two also returned to the living room.

ZZC, Milk, Xiao Ma and the others had already sat down at the dining table, waiting for the meal to start.

"How about Xiao Su, are you satisfied with the food on the table today? I heard that your food was not very good in France for the past two weeks. I worked hard today, and it took four or five hours." PDD's girlfriend Shen Sensitive and proudly showing off the luxurious feast that he has cooked all night.

Su Chen glanced at the dining table. In addition to all kinds of luxurious seafood set meals, Shen Lingmin also prepared a few home-cooked dishes from Jiangzhou. It was really hard work.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Su Chen smiled and picked up a hairy crab. After breaking off the crab legs, he took a bite with the dipping sauce, and immediately squinted his eyes.

The texture and taste are really top-notch.

"OK, Lao Su finished the drug test, I'm ready to enter." PDD rubbed his hands, then grabbed the plate.

"Hey, just eat vegetable salad. Didn't you say that you should avoid food for two months after you leave the hospital?" Shen Lingmin quickly slapped his hand.

"It doesn't matter. I eat salad mixed with lobster, high in protein + vitamins, and the weight loss effect is better." PDD said nonsense seriously.

"Do you want to go to the hospital again!!" Shen Lingmin was a little anxious.

Seeing that Shen Lingmin couldn't be beaten, PDD quickly turned to Su Chen for help.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, he still owes me 80 squats, just let him pay for it after eating." Su Chen put down the crab legs and persuaded.

"That's right, it's rare for Ren Xiaosu to come here today, so I can't neglect him." PDD doesn't care whether the 80 squats can be fulfilled, let's fool it first and then talk.

"Forget it, it's only for today." Shen Lingmin sighed.

Seeing that the plan was approved, PDD gave a sinister laugh twice, immediately stretched out his claws to fill up his plate, opened his bloody mouth and began to gnaw.

"Come on, let's have a toast first, to celebrate our YM winning the MSI championship. In the middle of the match in Paris that day, I was very angry at that time. If I were on the scene, I would go straight up and be a referee." PDD raised his glass.

"Even if it's because we all get red cards." Su Chen touched him with a smile.

"That matter has been settled. According to the news received from the MSI organizing committee this morning, all three referees in charge of the third game will be dismissed. The official will also issue an announcement to explain this matter, although it can't make up for it. , but we are champions after all, and this is the only way we can go." Xiao Ma took two mouthfuls of food and said vaguely.

"Really fired?" Su Chen took half a sip of beer, frowned, and put it down again.

"It's all good. If it weren't for us winning the championship, I would have risked my life and would have to ask the authorities for an explanation. Who the hell are I bullying!" PDD said indignantly.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Lingmin said cautiously.

Su Chen also wanted to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, after PDD drank two cups, his eyes were red, and he took off his eyes and even wiped his face a few times, his voice was full of tears.

"Old Su, it's really not easy for us, it's not easy for us... We worked hard to enter the LPL, but in the end, anyone can step up and step on it, and finally won an MSI championship. There, you are not even a fart... you really feel aggrieved by him, idiot!"

The pony on the side saw PDD like this, and turned his head so that no one could see him crying, and the atmosphere was a little sad for a while.

"What happened?" Su Chen asked quickly.

"There are some things that your team members can't get in touch with... Forget it, let's not tell Su Chen, it will make you feel uncomfortable, this is not something he should care about," PDD wiped away his tears, He poured himself another glass of wine, "Forget it."

"There is nothing to say, Xiao Su is not only a member of the team, but also one of us. You don't have to carry this kind of thing alone." Shen Lingmin patted PDD on the back, and said very distressed.

"Tell me about it." Su Chen put down his glass with a very calm tone.

PDD sighed, and told Su Chen all the bad things he had encountered during this time.

The first to bear the brunt is MSI's time retrospective event.

At that time, PDD contacted the event official immediately after the penalty occurred, but the reply was very cold.

Later, he searched for many people in the circle, but very few were willing to help him coordinate this matter.

This made PDD feel the feeling of being isolated in the LPL circle.

Second, on the night when YM won the MSI championship, PDD was very happy to spread a wave of red envelopes among the LPL club owners, saying that YM was very excited and honored to be able to represent LPL in this MSI. This honor belongs to everyone struggled together.

However, few people congratulated him.

Even on the next day, PDD heard someone laughing and taunting him behind his back.

"There are only two steel coins in my pocket. I really think I can create a wealthy club? It would be great to sell the shares and cash out as soon as possible. If you want to be on an equal footing with us, you don't have the qualifications."

The meaning of these words is also obvious, although the YM team is doing well now.

However, if you want to have a certain status in LPL, the founder's own financial strength is very important.

An anchor like PDD is born, compared with many rich second-generation bosses in the current LPL, the financial resources are not at the same level at all.

Even if your team wins the MSI championship, people don't think you are qualified to be compared with them.

The last thing is that after the start of the transfer period in the summer split, there was a little problem with the contract between Zuo Shou and Xiaotian.

"Actually, you also know." PDD spun his cup with a serious expression on his face, "During the LSPL Winter Games last year, I originally planned to send my left hand and Xiaotian to a club in the LPL. At that time, you I haven't come here yet, and I didn't expect YM to enter the LPL."

"On the one hand, he felt that sending these two children to the LPL would fulfill his dream. On the other hand, it was also a business consideration. At that time, he signed a contract of intent, and it was not sure whether it would be legally binding, but later because YM entered the LPL, so the contract is void, I don’t see the other party mentioning it, so I thought it was just let go.”

"I didn't expect that after winning MSI, the other party came up with the contract directly, wanting to take Zuo Shou and Xiaotian back." PDD smiled wryly.

"And then?" Su Chen frowned.

"How can I let people go, I can only bite the bullet and beg my grandpa to sue my grandma for a few days of looking for a relationship, and finally lost a sum of money, so it's settled." PDD looked a little lonely.

"Don't worry, we just won the MSI championship, how could there be any changes in the lineup." Xiao Ma also quickly explained.

Su Chen nodded, and actually understood why PDD was so negative.

Losing money is a small matter, the key is that it can be seen from this incident that PDD, as the owner of YM, is really not very popular in the high-level circle of LPL clubs.

In fact, the 2018 LPL has loopholes in many aspects, especially in the player contract, because of the lack of relevant legal basis, it involves a lot of shady scenes.

Some contracts that PDD does not know may be pits dug secretly by other clubs, waiting for the right time to close the net.

In this situation, on the one hand, it is true that PDD's class is different from other bosses. He is always the eldest son of a certain group. PDD is at most an upstart, and it is difficult to integrate with others.

Anyone who came in to play e-sports would wave a checkbook and spend a lot of money to break out of a club.

Why do you, a nouveau riche who wants money but no money, and resources but no resources, can do things that others haven't done for several years with luck.

On the other hand, Su Chen is also very clear that this matter is mostly related to his official announcement of the "Four Clubs" last year.

Before Jiang Keda entered the professional circle, it did attract too much attention, and the way Su Chen dealt with it after the incident was more or less unacceptable to some club owners.

As a player, he was more or less sharp.

And these dissatisfaction were naturally borne by YM's boss, PDD.

"Isn't Boss Pei able to solve the problem of funds?" Su Chen asked.

"Old Pei is actually a very conscientious partner. He has always told me that he doesn't care whether the club makes money or not, so let me let it go." Mentioning Mr. Pei, PDD's face softened, "However, he invested There are too many projects, and the capital flow is actually limited. Although he also injected 2000 million in capital after MSI, he also said that in the past six months, I may have to pay attention to financial issues.”

"Indeed, Boss Pei has done enough for us." Su Chen expressed her understanding.

"Money is not a problem for the time being, although we will spend a lot of money before the summer game to upgrade all aspects of the club. One is the training department. Meng Ma's contract will be re-signed. The coaching staff, analysts, There are also some supporting positions that must be arranged, and they must be aligned with the standards of the LPL first-line teams."

"Although YM moved the base before, we still haven't done a lot of things internally. It's still LSPL's way of doing things. This will definitely not work. The other side is the youth training." PDD paused after speaking.

"Actually, you can also tell that the current team members, Bovy in the AD position, can't keep up with the level, right?"

"He actually worked very hard and really wanted to win, but the upper limit is indeed there." Su Chen also said very directly.

"About this issue...we may not be able to solve it immediately," PDD sighed, "during the period when the transfer period started, I actually talked to Pony about quite a few clubs, but the current good AD players, they don't know how to deal with them. Selling, almost, in fact, it doesn’t make sense to buy it back.”

"My idea is to start with the youth training. After all, I have been engaged in it for four or five years. This part of YM is relatively mature. Give me some time, I believe..."

PDD spoke faster and faster, obviously a little anxious.

Su Chen listened to PDD's words in silence, and did not choose to interrupt him.

In fact, Su Chen may not be able to understand everything about the club building that PDD said.

However, Su Chen also understood that PDD was very worried that he would leave.

He knew that the current lineup of YM was not perfect, and the fact that he was able to reach the position of MSI champion was all due to Su Chen's change of fate.

However, it is impossible for a player like Su Chen to tolerate the existence of shortcomings in the team all the time.

If the club can't meet his goal of winning the championship and provide him with enough good teammates, then why should he stay in this club all the time?
This is also where PDD's inner worries lie.

Even if YM lost his PDD, he couldn't leave Su Chen.

He is the true cornerstone of YM's team.

Once Su Chen leaves this club, YM will collapse in an instant, and once again change back to the way it was in last winter.

"Okay, whoring teacher, stop." Su Chen interrupted PDD with his hand.

"I still have half a year left in my contract. No matter whether the team lineup is perfect or not, I will devote myself to this club and finish the second half of the year."

"That's not what I meant..." PDD's tone was a little weaker.

"Professor teacher, I know that because of my relationship, you have been excluded in the LPL circle. I respect you for this glass of wine." Su Chen refilled his glass with wine and toasted PDD.

"You are the person that Xiao Ma and I should be most grateful to." PDD said with emotion.

Su Chen shook his head and continued.

"Being a professional has always been my dream. You were the one who helped me on this path. In my father's words, the kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring. I will always remember this love."

Hearing this, PDD choked up.

"Secondly, although you think the current lineup is not perfect, don't we keep winning?" Su Chen looked at her wine glass, "Although winning the championship is my goal, I don't want this process to be just a game. Cold deal."

"Compared with what championship, I care more about who I will win this championship with. At least for now, I am very happy in YM." After saying this, Su Chen showed a gentle smile.

"Is that so... I thought." PDD finally understood what Su Chen meant, and was immediately moved.

"I don't understand business matters, but I do know one thing. As long as you keep winning on the field, you will gain everyone's respect one day." After finishing speaking, Su Chen raised his glass to PDD.

"At that moment, we were the giants!"
