I flew from China to London, England, took the train directly to Manchester City, and then took the car to the Milton Stadium here. As the person in charge of this trip, Chu Fangnan didn't even have time to give himself a little rest time, and he was about to start. The inspection work in this venue is busy.
Therefore, after giving the addresses of the hotels near Lin Feng and the three, Chu Fangnan hurriedly went to the backstage to find other subordinate staff in the British branch for communication and inspection. Lin Feng and the three watched Chu Fangnan hurriedly leave. The far back sighed a few words and then turned to leave.
According to the address given by Chu Fangnan, the hotels where the members of the three LPL clubs stayed were indeed not far from the gymnasium, which was about seven or eight minutes' walk away.
As soon as you walk out of the gymnasium gate, you can see a high-rise hotel building and a very eye-catching sign not far away.
"Hilton-"
Lin Feng exclaimed, and then smacked his lips:
"The treatment of e-sports players is really getting better and better these days..."
There was a hint of sadness in his tone.
An Xin next to him heard someone's complaint and couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, I don't know how many times better than before."
Zeng Rui also understood, and looked at Lin Feng: "You didn't live well at the time, right?"
Someone pouted: "Isn't it... I could only live in a small hotel at the beginning..."
However, although the treatment of professional e-sports players has improved in recent years, it seems that the performance has not improved accordingly. Zeng Rui shook his head: "The industrial system is still immature, with various premiums for player contracts and inflated treatment. … are all being touted and fired, so much capital entering the market may not be really a good thing.”
An Xin nodded lightly: "Yes, LPL's current income package... It's much better than Korea's. I don't know how many times."
Except for the world's top players like Han Shihao, Moon, or Mafa and Orian at the level of the Four Emperors and Seven Kings, the annual salary of ordinary professional players in most other LCK regions may only be hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of RMB.
A monthly salary of seven or eight thousand is normal.
Even the Four Emperors players of Han Shihao and Moon's level had signed contracts of that kind for several years early on, and the price was very restricted.
At least, if these top Korean players come to China, their worth will definitely at least triple or five times.
This is also the main reason why many Korean professional players have come to the LPL division as foreign aid in large numbers in the past two years—
A lot of money.
But in fact, after arriving in China, these Korean aids received several times their original income, but their overall competitive status was declining all the way. Compared with when they were in the LCK division, they were naturally complained by many national server players that they were "just here to make money for the elderly".
However, when these Korean aids returned to South Korea and returned to the LCK division, it seemed that they had gotten rid of the lazy appearance when they were foreign aids in China, and suddenly became fierce again, making the national service a lot of recruits. Korean aid clubs are completely difficult to understand this phenomenon.
In fact, it is really because the environment of the national service is too loose and the system is too immature.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes dimmed.
In comparison, the entire e-sports system in South Korea is also extremely mature, including the environment and atmosphere, and it really knows how to shape and train excellent professional e-sports players.
And the most extreme manifestation of this phenomenon... It just falls on the SSK team club.
Inadvertently, the words that No. 1 said to him before flashed back in his mind, including the mysterious figure hidden behind the scenes. Lin Feng's pupils could not help shrinking slightly, and they flashed a little sharply.
An Xin next to him noticed:
"What's wrong?"
Lin Feng's eyes drooped, his eyes closed and returned to normal: "Oh, it's okay."
…
After walking for about ten minutes, the three of Lin Feng came to the door of Hilton's hotel.
Just as he was about to walk in through the gate, the sharp-eyed Zeng Rui was the first to see a group of people inside the revolving glass door who seemed to be coming out of the lobby:
"Hey-"
"Is it them?"
Lin Feng looked up, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Oh!"
"Just come down?"
As he spoke, he waved at the inside with enthusiasm and excitement: "Hi! Ah Xing! Eleven! Fatty!! This way, this way!—"
Someone's voice was loud enough to spread through the revolving glass door into the hotel lobby. The three LPL club teams who seemed to be coming from the elevator unexpectedly followed the sound and almost jumped up when they saw this. Some people who waved their hands vigorously also showed surprises on their faces:
"Hey! Brother Lin Feng!"
"What the hell is God?"
"When did I come here, I rely on a coincidence!"
Immediately, the team members of the three clubs were all excited and quickened their pace, and the first one was Li Shiyi and Tian Tian, as well as Dawn Chenxing, Shi Hang and Huangxue Yege. They walked out of the gate and headed towards Lin Feng. Excited to welcome up.
Lin Feng beamed with open arms, ready to welcome a few old friends whom he hadn't seen in a few days—
Then Li Shiyi and Tian Tian drifted past him like the wind, and hugged the girl behind someone with great excitement:
"steamed stuffed bun!"
"Long time no see! Are you okay?"
"We miss you!!"
After hugging tightly with the two former companions, the girl's face also showed a sincere and happy smile:
"Yeah, it's been a long time... Ah Tian is fine, but it's really been many years for Eleven—"
The three of them started to talk enthusiastically and happily like this, as if they had endless topics to talk about. In contrast, someone who was completely forgotten next to them was a little embarrassed to be alone.
"Hey, the hot face sticks to the cold butt-"
Shi Hang came up with a look of schadenfreude. When it was rare to catch someone embarrassing like this, he naturally took the opportunity to laugh at it.
Lin Feng also looked depressed: "Really... when I don't exist..."
Huang Xue Yege also came over and pouted, "You've only left for two or three days, what's there to worry about? My sister, Eleven and Yuanshen haven't seen each other for many years, so this is you. Still thinking about fighting for favor?"
It's also a teasing joke.
And Dawn Morning Star's gaze passed over a few people and landed on the girl who was chatting happily with Li Shiyi and Tian Tian:
"Is this... the head coach of your team at Maple?"
Compared with others, Dawn Morning Star is still more concerned about this aspect.
After all, this insider truth is really shocking enough.
Who would have thought that among the teams that achieved such brilliant achievements in the S1 season that year, in addition to the five players, there was actually such a girl behind the scenes who was both the team leader and the coach.
Still so young and beautiful.
