CHAPTER I. S5

With the end of the S4 League of Legends Grand Finals, a new beginning has arrived.

Riot will release the S5 preseason in November, and the map will be completely revamped, the graphics will become more refined, and the small dragon and big dragon will also be readjusted.

For many players, the map of S5 is the most familiar map in everyone's minds, and it is also everyone's favorite map.

Many people think that League of Legends has become popular in S4, but in fact, when it is the most popular, it is still S5-S6.

Those two seasons were the time when League of Legends had the most new players, and in the last S4, League of Legends had only 7.5 million concurrent players worldwide. And by S5-S6, it has reached 15 million.

Doubled.

Although League of Legends is more popular in this life, today's S4, according to the data released by Riot, has only 10 million people online at the same time.

If nothing else, when the new S5 map is revised, the data of 15 million will be improved again.

However, all this has nothing to do with Yun Luoyang, because he has already taken a vacation.

After the S match, the LPL will enter an offseason, Yun Luoyang returned to Zhonghai, took advantage of the heat to open a live broadcast for a few days, and began to deal with the affairs of the team.

First, Lao Ma submitted his resignation, he felt that it was difficult for him to keep up with the pace of the times, and some game understanding was slowly falling behind, so it was better to take advantage of the name of the champion coach to plunge into the live broadcast industry and start another journey.

For this plan, Yun Luoyang is more supportive. Because Lao Ma does only have a better understanding of the game in S3-S5 in the past few years, the more he goes on, as he gets older, it is very normal to not be able to keep up with the times.

And it is also a fact that Lao Ma will hold up a piece of the sky in the field of live broadcast in the future, so he simply asked him to sign a long-term contract with Shenlong TV, so that the platform began to spend a lot of effort to support him.

The second is that the first team and the second team officially announced their breakup.

This was a desperate move, and Riot announced after S4 that it would not allow the same club to have two top league teams. In other words, if both FD and FDG want to stay at the dynasty club, then one of them must go to the LSPL minor league and is not allowed to come up.

As the S4 world champion and runner-up, it is impossible for any team to go to LSPL, it is too wasteful of talent. So they had no choice but to change their skin, change their name and register a new club.

This problem is not difficult to solve, because in the S5 time, the two teams of WEA and 3M did just that.

If you're interested in looking up the founders of the two clubs, WEE and 3M, you'll see the exact same name. It's just that later because of 3M's poor results, WEA's could only abandon the car to protect the handsome, so it didn't keep fighting in the LPL.

After a month of deliberations, a brand new club was born, the Shenlong Club. This club was invested and established by Shenlong TV, and was naturally named Shenlong.

The former FDG was renamed the DRG team.

In fact, many people don't quite understand why many of our LPL teams have a G behind them.

The reason is simple, Game, game club.

The name of Guodian that we are familiar with comes from the owner Edward, so their club name is EDward, and the full name is EDward, Game Club, referred to as Guodian.

So it stands to reason that the Dynasty E-sports Club, that is, FD, should also bring a G to the back, but this kind of thing can be brought or not, and later the second team was formed, and the name of FDG was given to the second team.

And now this new team of the Shenlong Club, the name of DRG, is Dragon Game, commonly known as the Shenlong team.

The third is the S5 preseason transfer period.

The last LPL officially entered the capital market, which was exactly what happened to S5.

But now due to the early popularity of League of Legends, the S4 Summer Tournament has begun, and capital is pouring in. It's just that the transfer period has not yet arrived at that time, so that a large number of local tyrant bosses pinched the money in their hands, but they couldn't find good players.

It's different now, one time and another. At the end of S4, many excellent players have seen the real level after a year or two of hard work, and a large number of newcomers are also emerging.

In addition, the S5 Alliance has also been expanded. Originally, the LPL was 12 teams, but now it has directly become 16, which is twice as many as S3 that year.

In addition to the fact that a large number of bosses have purchased LPL qualifications, the prosperity of the League of Legends market is also a very important reason.

In this way, when there are many teams, there is naturally a need for more excellent players.

There are not many tested excellent players in China, and they are divided by most of the teams, which makes many bosses set their sights on overseas, and the trading market has become unprecedentedly prosperous.

The most profitable thing in this deal is WEA, they have trained all kinds of excellent players through their youth team, and then sent them out, making a lot of money for their team. After all, that's what they did in the original history, and the shy man came to WEA at the earliest, and was later sold to IGA.

In this transfer period, the most popular teams are FD and DRG, one is the world champion and the other is the world runner-up, which is undoubtedly popular with countless bosses.

The offices of the management of the two teams were almost knocked on the door, and as the parent company of the teams, Jianxue Technology sat firmly in Diaoyutai and did not give the first response, but temporarily rejected the bosses' offers on the grounds that the players had just finished the game and needed to rest.

It's not that Lin Chuyun wants to keep the team members so much or sell them at a price, as a ruthless capitalist, Lin Chuyun naturally wants to maximize the benefits, and take advantage of the high price of the team members to sell some players out at one time.

If it weren't for Yun Luoyang being a shareholder of Jianxue Technology, Lin Chuyun would even want to sell him. Because the boss likes Yunluoyang very much, he actually gave a high price of 20 million.

Some people may think that this price is so low, you must know that the price once given to faker in Europe and the United States is close to 100 million.

But you have to know what time it is.

During the S5 period, capital has indeed poured in. But the price has not been exaggerated to the extent that it was later, and the value of the players in S4 may only be tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, but now it has only skyrocketed tenfold, and the quotations of excellent players are generally between hundreds of thousands and millions.

For example, Puppy , during this year's transfer period, OMA was the first to announce that Puppy would transfer to OMA and would form a galaxy fleet with Doggu Hard and Emperor Taishang, what was his offer? However, 6 million, it will take two or three years to be worth 50 million in the future.

There are also the ten sons of Samsung who originally came to China in history, and the prices of all of them who came to China that year were also between 2 million and 5 million, for example, the big quail was 4 million, and the Dandi was 3 million.

So now Yunluoyang's offer of 20 million is simply sky-high.

If the current trend continues, in two years, he may be worth more than 100 million.

Because in a few years, the value of the players will increase several times, for example, the puppy will rise from 6 million to 50 million. At present, in the world, there is no player worth more than 10 million, only Yun Luoyang is alone, and his influence is enough to exceed 100 million in a few years.

As for the other players, the price also fluctuates between 4 million and 9 million. The most expensive is Brother Leg, someone reported 8.8 million. The cheapest is the Hirano Forest, 4.2 million. There is no way, the most brilliant in FD is naturally Yun Luoyang, followed by Brother Leg, although he is the second conductor, but he has not reached the important position of the big quail.

And DRG, that is, Huang Chenghao, their value has skyrocketed with the end of this World Championship. Especially Huang Chenghao, as the core soul figure, someone directly drove to 6.8 million, which is already a terrible number for Huang Chenghao, who has no championship bonus.

This means that his status in the country is not far behind that of a puppy. Although some people say that the price is very inflated, after all, there is no championship foundation, but DRG has the strength of a champion, and many people also believe that he has a chance to win the championship in the future.

The price of the members of their own team is so high, if they are all packaged out, Jianxue Technology can be listed directly. It's no wonder that Lin Chuyun is not impressed, she once had a meeting and wanted to sell some people.

But this move was strongly opposed by Yun Luoyang, who believed that the players were also human beings, and they should follow their choice, leave if they want, stay if they want, and should not force them.

Because of the opposition of Yun Luoyang, the major shareholder, and Ye Jianxue's big boss supporting him, Lin Chuyun's plan was forced to be terminated, and he could only give up this idea.

However, Yun Luoyang respected the choice of the ten sons of the dynasty, and also told everyone the company's opinions, willing to go, the company will not use the contract to force stay, and if you are not willing to go, the company will definitely support you to old age.

This is actually what IGA did later, like the ADC that the child brother can play 443 data, IGA can keep him for the elderly, you can know that if a club wants to retain people, in addition to the welfare salary for the players, the club culture full of humanity is also essential.

The first to go was General Tiger.

He wanted to stay, after all, he had learned so many useful things in this team.

But again had to go.

First, as long as Yun Luoyang is here, he will always be just a substitute in FD, and there is no game to play, which is very uncomfortable.

The second is that the royal family's offer this time is very sincere, and a high price of 3 million was given to buy him as a substitute, and General Tiger himself has a signing fee of 1 million, such a large amount of money, naturally extremely excited.

In this way, in the friendly transaction between the royal family and FD, General Tiger went to the royal family and left 3 million for FD.

As General Tiger was the first to leave, soon more people left.

Sister Buckle and Ah Guang went to Guodian, and Shadow went to FD's team in LSPL to retire.

The price given by Guodian this time is really not low, although the management of Shenlong tried their best to keep it, but it was still bought by them.

No way, there are too many factors. Meikou and Ah Guang themselves wanted to stay, but their families were so moved by the offer that they had to leave.

As for the shadow, he's a bit disheartened. He is getting older and older, and his results are not very good, and it is already very good to win a world runner-up, and he is personally very satisfied with the status quo and has no further thoughts.

According to the words of the factory director, he has no dreams, is unwilling to continue to pursue dreams, and has become a salted fish.

Although someone also quoted him a price of 2 million, Shadow refused, originally wanting to retire. However, in the club's retention, he finally went to LSPL to bring newcomers, and the salary still retained the level of LPL, and with the arrival of S5, it was increased to a monthly salary of 100,000 and an annual salary of more than 1 million.

This salary is nothing in later generations, even the most ordinary players in the LPL can earn a monthly salary of more than 200,000. However, as an LPL that has just entered the capital era, the salaries of many teams have just increased from 6,000 yuan to 3-50,000 yuan, and the monthly salary of 100,000 yuan is already very high.

In this way, some things in the S4 playoffs have been handled almost the same, and S5 is gradually coming.
