Chapter 192: Departure Ceremony, Aftermath of the Championship (mid-length chapter of words)
Originally, everyone in Fanhua, especially the old guys, felt somewhat relaxed and empty after winning the championship.

But after Pei Yunteng's introduction, there were five howling hungry wolves standing beside him again.

The results are linked to the treatment in the competition area, the players' personal colors, plus the team's exclusive skins, and even sales revenue...

As long as you win the championship, not only will you win glory for your country and leave your name in the game, but you can also make a lot of money and fill your stomach?

Please forgive the limited knowledge of the people of Fanhua. They have never seen such a good thing that has all the benefits.

This piece of pie, which was a bit too rich, hit the new champions on the head so hard that they saw stars.

Some people have even started to imagine who should be chosen for the colorful skin after winning the championship.

For Pei Yunteng's LPL audience in his previous life, the rewards of team skin + colorful skin + profit sharing may not be that attractive, and many people may even question the value of the colorful skin.

But at this time, this unprecedented reward is indeed very different.

Perhaps because it focuses too much on commercial effects, Honor really doesn't care about the construction of e-sports culture at all.

The NBA next door knows that teams should erect statues for their legendary players, but the Honor League has not shown any interest at all.

It can only be said that when it comes to creating a sense of epicness and honor in winning the championship, the Honor League is really as immature as a child.

Not to mention anything else, just that golden keyboard and mouse that doesn’t look too serious actually represents the highest honor of the champion.

Don’t you guys know how to design a trophy that looks more upscale?
How much sense of ceremony can a keyboard and mouse add to winning the championship?
The professional players of Honor who grew up in such an environment had no ability to resist Pei Yunteng's promise.

A year ago, Pei Yunteng was able to use a commemorative skin of Su Muqiu to make Ye Xiu surrender at the speed of light.

A year later, all the teams will be able to fight to the death for the MSI championship.

He smiled evilly in his heart, and suddenly asked Sun Zheping who was holding the microphone at the time: "After listening to the introduction of the Mid-Season Championship, do you have any psychological expectations?"

Sun Zheping, who was completely stunned at this moment, had his brain overloaded for a moment, and answered without thinking: "The colorful one is Sword Princess's!"

It was not until the whole audience burst into laughter that he realized what he had said and his face suddenly turned red.

Why can I choose the skin directly before the game?

Those who opened champagne in the first two halves have already started preparing for the summer games in advance.

At this time, it was Zhang Jiale, who had more experience in dealing with media interviews, who came to the rescue of Sun Zheping.

He took the microphone, the smile on his face filled with a fiery fighting spirit.

“Although it’s too early to discuss the selection of the color now, we really have no reason to let the championship slip away!”

"With the support and trust of all our fans, Fanhua will definitely show the style of China and LPL in the world game!"

This confident and appropriate answer caused cheers from the audience.

"Come on, Fanhua! Let's win for Blue Rain!"

"And if we are from Happy, if we beat them, they will have to win the MSI championship for us!"

"No matter how bloody the fight is in the league, as long as we go to the world-class competition, we will be united!"

"Step on the White Eagle to win the championship!"

Looking at the eager contestants and spectators, Pei Yunteng was very satisfied: "What a great ambition!"

He snapped his fingers, and suddenly, as a round of powerful music sounded, in the surprised eyes of the audience, something above the main stage began to slowly descend.

That's five suits.

The overall color scheme is black and red, and the shape is relatively simple, but the faintly visible patterns add a heavy texture and heritage to it.

The names of the Fanhua Five were on their jerseys, but there was no Fanhua team logo.

Instead, there is a simple logo:

LPL.

"Since you are going to the world for the competition zone, you should wear the competition zone's uniform! Please!" Pei Yunteng waved his hand generously.

At the beginning, Tencent Esports' plan was to hold a formal departure ceremony.

But after thinking about it, Pei Yunteng decided to improvise.

This is the first LPL competition, and there is no lack of enthusiasm from players and spectators.

Compared to a performance-based departure ceremony, the true emotions expressed by the audience in an impromptu state may be more touching.

Sure enough, the five people of Fanhua stared at the five sets of domineering battle robes with full sense of design with fiery eyes, and couldn't wait to step forward to take them off and put them on directly.

It has to be said that the average appearance of the Honor professional players is enough to kill any e-sports league in seconds, regardless of anything else.

If the same uniforms were worn by a team like JDG in the past, they would look like a team of auto mechanics.

When the five members of Fanhua, wearing battle robes, lined up in a row, with their faces full of fighting spirit, Pei Yunteng could already hear the screams from the audience.

You know, among this bunch of flowers, Xiye is the least attractive one.

"Good! Very energetic!" Pei Yunteng applauded.

"Then I wish you can represent LPL in the MSI arena, achieve great success, and win the first place!"

……

The Spring Finals finally ended with this impromptu departure ceremony.

But his aftermath is far from over.

As soon as the four members of Fanhua returned to the base, they were entangled with one bombshell piece of news after another.

"What? There are almost twenty well-known companies alone?" Zhang Jiale was dumbfounded.

The manager of Baihua Friendly Sponsorship was grinning from ear to ear: "This is the result after our screening!"

Having won the Spring Finals and will soon represent LPL, there is no doubt that Fanhua has got the biggest piece of the pie this spring.

Sponsors flocked in, almost breaking down the threshold of Fanhua.

But it’s not just flowers.

Just as Tenghai expected, the ratings and popularity of the Spring Finals attracted a lot of attention to LPL.

Such attention naturally cannot be limited to the Fanhua team alone.

You know, this is just a league that has just started, and the barriers between the strong and the weak are far from solidified.

Even if a weak team is at the bottom of the spring season, if it can get investment to strengthen its lineup, it may be able to soar in the summer season.

Against this background, all LPL teams, and even some strong teams in the LSPL, have received considerable investment intentions.

This is the real period of pioneering, and the prospects are bright!

The earlier you enter the market, the more money you can make!
For a time, all LPL teams were caught in happy distress.

The money is in hand, but should we buy players first, or build a competition and training team first?

If you want to buy players, should you buy from LSPL?

Happy Club.

"Is this the nth person who comes to us to buy Qiu Fei?" Tao Xuan stared at his phone in amazement.

"It's not just Qiu Fei, they want to buy our top, mid and jungle players as well. They're trying to dig up the roots of our Excellent Era!" said the current manager Sun Yu disdainfully.

Just now, Shenqi, the seventh-ranked team in the spring season league, submitted a purchase application to Jia Shi, a strong team in the top three of LSPL.

Request to buy their top, mid and jungle players, Chen Zebin, Peng Lixun and Qiu Fei.

As the team that broke into the tenth season and the Glory League together with Xingxin in the original timeline, Shenqi has no lack of system but lacks money.

Now that he had attracted several investments and had more money on hand, the magical manager did not hesitate -

Sneak into LSPL and start treasure hunting.

There's nothing I can do. This is what happens when you're used to being poor.

This is not the first trade intention that Excellent Era has received. As a team that was originally qualified to compete in the LPL, but was forced to transfer to the LSPL due to the same club's circumvention principle, Excellent Era's journey in the secondary league can be said to be far ahead of others.

No team can stop them.

"Don't they know about our relationship with Happy?" Tao Xuan asked with great interest.

"Yes, but they said the league doesn't allow a club to own two teams. Happy's top and jungle players are still young, so they can play for several more years at least."

"They feel that instead of letting talented youngsters like Abin and Axun waste time in the second team, it would be better to let them compete in the LPL."

"What about Qiu Fei?"

"The relationship between Uehara and Nakano is very deep, it would be bad to tear it down... at least that's what people say."

"Okay, our Qiu Feicheng is an accessory." Tao Xuan laughed.

"After all, Abin is known as the Little Tang Rou, so this version is like a fish in water for him." Sun Yu said with a smile.

"What did Abin and the others say? Do they want to go to LPL to gain some experience?" Tao Xuan suddenly asked.

"Not interested. The kids have a very good relationship with each other." Sun Yu said with pride in his tone.

Ever since the incident in the eighth season that nearly destroyed Excellent Era, Tao Xuan has attached great importance to the building of the team's internal atmosphere.

In today's Jia Shi, the relationship between the players is so strong that there is no possibility of a sudden collapse.

"They are all good kids..." Tao Xuan sighed.

There is a sense of indescribable emotion amidst the sighs.

Tao Xuan's mentality has changed again compared to when Xingxin was just established.

In the past, he was an Internet cafe owner who had no business acumen but longed to be recognized by mainstream society.

After the collapse of Excellent Era, he came to his senses and became a speculator eager to rebuild Excellent Era and cling to Tenghai's thigh.

And now, after spending more than half a year with these teenage kids under him, Tao Xuan seemed to have regained the state of mind he had when Excellent Era was first founded.

Now he only wants to do one thing well: that is to let the children of Jia Shi shine.

"I don't know when I will be able to see Excellent Era's name resounding throughout the e-sports circle again..."

"Okay, reject them."

"We can fight for our players and find a way out for them."

"clear."

……

The flowers are blooming here.

"Yu Wenzhou? How come he suddenly had the time to call me?" Zhang Jiale stared at the screen of his mobile phone in amazement.

Although they are all the three major families, there is not much private communication between the three powerful teams.

After all, we have to avoid suspicion.

Yu Wenzhou's sudden call was quite new to Zhang Jiale.

"Are they here to seek revenge? We are leading them 3-0!" Xiye suddenly had an idea.

"How is that possible? Just think too much." Zhang Jiale cursed softly and answered the phone with interest.

"Hey, tactical master, how come you have time to call me?" Zhang Jiale teased.

Under normal circumstances, with Yu Wenzhou's eloquence, he might even chat with him.

But today, Yu Wenzhou didn't seem to have too much time to think about it, and he got straight to the point: "How much do you know about the MSI situation?"

"MSI? Uh..." Zhang Jiale was stunned, then his face turned red.

Since Fanhua had been concentrating almost all of her attention on the final against Xingxin, she naturally had no time to pay attention to the MSI, which was just a title at the time.

"Did you really study your opponents in MSI?" He suddenly remembered the trash talk Yu Wenzhou said before the semi-finals, and teased with a smile.

Who would have thought that Yu Wenzhou actually gave him a positive answer: "I did study it, but I was eliminated."

Although Blue Rain suffered a terrible defeat, fortunately their ability to adjust was also top-notch.

Captain Yu Wenzhou was the first to recover from the loss, and after that, he and Fang Shijing and others began to study the major competition areas outside the LPL.

As early as when Tenghai officially announced that only the spring champion teams of each major region were eligible to participate in MSI, Yu Wenzhou vaguely guessed that this competition would be linked to the honors and even treatment of the region.

Therefore, since he had just been eliminated and there was still plenty of time, he simply fulfilled his trash talk and started studying the MSI opponent.

Sure enough, it came in handy at this time.

Hearing that Blue Rain had actually studied their MSI opponent, everyone in Fanhua immediately became interested and surrounded Zhang Jiale tightly.

Zhang Jiale's eyes lit up, and his tone immediately became flattering:

"Captain Yu, considering our friendship, it's not too much to borrow it for a look, right?"

"What kind of friendship can we have? A friendship that resulted in a 3-0 elimination?" Yu Wenzhou said with a smile, then said seriously, "But to be honest, I called you because I did intend to share this information with you."

"Okay, okay! Thank you for your hard work, Captain Yu, and thank you for your hard work, Blue Rain!" Zhang Jiale smiled even more obsequiously, without any demeanor of a new champion.

Then he asked, "How much do you plan to sell it for? It just so happens that we have attracted a lot of sponsorship recently, so we have plenty of funds."

In Zhang Jiale's opinion, Blue Rain came to Fanhua at this time simply because they saw that Fanhua's training and competition team was not capable enough and wanted to make some extra money.

Such things have happened many times in Glory.

Blue Rain made some money and Fanhua got important information about the next schedule. It was a win-win deal.

But Yu Wenzhou's answer was beyond his expectations: "You should use the sponsorship you raised to strengthen your substitutes and coaching staff!"

"I don't plan to make a fortune in a place like this."

"As long as you can win the MSI championship, it will be worthy of my work these days."

Yu Wenzhou agrees with the saying that is circulating on the Internet at this time: "During MSI, LPL will stand united against the outside world."

He knew very well that only if Fanhua could achieve good results in MSI, Blue Rain would have a greater chance of entering the World Championship in the summer.

Blue Rain is not short of money. Instead of making a fortune at this time, it is better to do a favor. Maybe it can become a good story when it is spread out in the future.

Although he didn't understand why Yu Wenzhou didn't take the money, Zhang Jiale immediately transformed into Li Yunlong: "Thank you, Captain Yu, I kowtow to you, Captain Yu!"

"Alright, alright, let's just briefly talk about the competition situation in each major competition area."

"Yes, Captain Yu, among all the regions in the world, which regions do you think are more competitive?"

Yu Wenzhou thought about it and answered quickly:

"The teams in the North American LCS and the European LEC are of very high quality and should be strong contenders for the championship."

It's not surprising. After all, it's a developed region with a high population and popularity of e-sports. No matter how strong it is, it can't be too bad.

Zhang Jiale nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: "How about South Korea? I remember they used to be known as a strong country in e-sports, right?"

Yu Wenzhou, who was very fluent in introducing LEC and LCS, hesitated in a rare way when Zhang Jiale asked about South Korea.

After a long time, he said in an uncertain tone:

"The situation in Korea is... somewhat special."

"In some ways, they can almost be said to be terrifyingly strong."

“But in some ways, it’s ridiculously weak.”

　The update has been sent. I have an exam today so there will be fewer updates. I will continue with the daily update tomorrow.

　　I kowtow to everyone.
