Chapter 201 The whole network is shocked! Uzi returns, will LPL usher in the biggest reckoning in history? !
Because of the popularity of Top Esports these days, a series of the most vocal haters in the past, such as gsl, Huangza, Fengza, and Monkey and Monkey Sun, were even forced to hide their identities on major social platforms. Even xmm, who is usually active in major comment sections to recommend the deeds of their own oppa, and the fairies who promote fan culture, have kept silent for a while.
The haters, like stray dogs, logged into their social media accounts, and when they saw this explosive news, some even suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes.
After several confirmations, the black fans who had been silent for a long time suddenly became collectively ecstatic.
"God will punish anyone for what he has done!"
"Yi, you have come to this day!"
"All his championship teammates are gone. How will he play in the new season?"
"The world champions haven't even started their second season yet, and they're disbanded right here. This is hilarious. They're the first team with an all-Chinese roster to win the championship, and they're also the only team in the league's history that didn't even dare to defend their title."
"Is it because Yi÷ has a bad character and is too harsh on his teammates that he is deserted by everyone?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! That's called abandoning darkness and joining light!"
The haters were so excited as if it was New Year’s Day and immediately became active again in all the comment sections.
……
Lu Yi was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
He was still half asleep when he saw the anxious-looking white crescent outside the door:
"Oh no, Yishen, something terrible has happened! The internet has exploded, the top and jungle have all fled, we've been tricked, you should call 369 and Karsa, they have blocked all my contact information!"
Last night they were drinking together, singing praises of brotherhood and looking forward to a bright future. They drank until late at night. But when he heard this, Lu Yi was stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
Subconsciously, he opened WeChat, found the chat window of 369, and sent a simple '?' Although he had expected it, when he saw the red exclamation mark pop up, Lu Yi still felt a sharp pain in his chest for no reason.
He casually clicked on the ellipsis in the upper right corner and clicked Delete Friend. He didn't even try Karsa's window and deleted it decisively.
"Why don't you give them a call? You led them to win the world championship, and their net worth has skyrocketed all because of you. It's only right that they should give you face!" White Crescent Moon said unwillingly when she saw Lu Yi was so decisive.
Lu Yi was very calm, "Don't bother me anymore. I was wondering why they were not in the right state last night, as if they were worried about something. I thought they were heartbroken, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
“It’s all connected.”
"I thought they came back to Shanghai last night and invited us to a private gathering, but it turned out to be a premeditated farewell dinner. They have already made the decision, which means they will never come back. Maybe they are wearing the uniforms of other clubs and saying bad things about us to their teammates. It has already come to this. Even if they can really come back, I will be disgusted!"
Upon hearing this, White Crescent clenched her fists in anger and said angrily:
"These two bastards used to call you Yishen all the time, saying that without you, they wouldn't be where they are today. But despite all the nice things they said, they betrayed us without hesitation when it came to profit. Their salaries have doubled for the new season, and we've already agreed on the contracts with them, but they're all staying in their hometowns and refusing to come back to sign. I'm stupid, and I should have realized there was something wrong earlier!"
Lu Yi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
At this time, the doorbell rang again. When I opened the door, it was Guo Hao, Zhan Ma, and LPL's only two-time champion A Shui.
When the three of them entered the room and saw White Crescent Moon there, their faces all blushed.
Ah Shui stared and shouted:
"Guess what, I woke up early in the morning and was about to wake up 368 and Karsa, but when I walked in, I found that the bedding was gone, leaving only a mattress. These two bastards got me drunk and packed my luggage overnight, but I didn't know anything about it!"
"If you want to leave, leave earlier. Why do you have to wait until the transfer period is almost over before running away? Aren't you deliberately trying to destroy us?"
A Shui became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water after entering the room. He was so angry that he took out his mobile phone and wrote furiously, intending to start a group discussion on Weibo. After all, this anger was too hard to swallow.
"The total bonuses the club gave to the three of them after winning the championship amounted to a whopping 1500 million. This amount is enough to pay the defending champions of previous years a year's salary. The championship was originally your contribution alone. If it wasn't for your sake, in order to make them feel less disappointed, the club wouldn't have had to offer such a high bonus!"
"They are all heartless!"
Guo Hao was also so angry that he kept cursing. He received a call from the club owner early in the morning and was almost scolded to the point of losing his job. Naturally, he was extremely angry at the traitor at this moment.
Lu Yi had gradually calmed down and looked at Guo Hao and asked, "How much can we get back in transfer fees?"
"Not much, because their contracts expired and they haven't had time to change to new ones, so the transfer fee was paid according to our pricing last season. Ueno and Ueda together made about 1500 million, which is exactly equal to the championship bonus the boss gave them before. All in all, they didn't create any money for the club, and they won the world championship for nothing!"
Guo Hao gritted his teeth.
"At this moment, I really hope that our contract is the same as RNG's!" Guo Hao felt that he was too good to the players, and the loose and free constraints brought him backstabbing.
The champions they fattened up turned out to be their competitors.
It would be a lie to say I'm not angry.
"There's no point in saying this. Let's see who's left in the transfer pool and buy some players." Lu Yi sighed. "Fortunately, we made a lot of money from hosting the Topsports Cup. At least we have enough budget to temporarily build a team."
Guo Hao was also thankful, but his frown did not relax. "I have checked on the way. Those who have not yet confirmed the team are all misfits. If we want top players, we can only help pay ten times the liquidated damages to dig them out from other clubs, but the price... is ridiculously high!"
“You don’t need to match the top players in the division, as long as they are first-rate, you can find candidates first, and then ask me to make the final decision.” Lu Yi shook his head and said. Now he has absolute say in the club. After all, he is nominally the boss of Top Esports, plus his influence in the division, so naturally the entire club follows his lead.
Guo Hao had no choice but to take the two coaches with him, leaving A Shui alone to accompany Lu Yi.
After this guy published a long essay revealing the inside story, he actually took the initiative to start a group on Weibo and launched a passionate confrontation with his former good brothers.
Lu Yi walked silently to the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, looking at the busy scene below, with mixed feelings in his heart.
……
With the exposure of A Shui and the start of the group, Top Esports fans were the first to stand up and condemn it, which then triggered the entire network to follow suit. After all, everyone enjoyed the honor brought by Big Daddy, and then received high bonuses from the club. Now that the new season is about to begin, they are stabbing the team in the back. Such a thing is bound to be despised by people.
Mark, who had already put on the LNG team uniform for the official announcement, finally couldn't bear the bombardment from netizens. He started a live broadcast on a certain audio platform that night, crying about his grievances.
"No matter how serious the label of betrayal is, it shouldn't be attached to me, right?"
"I am the worst player on the team. The team has already achieved the unprecedented achievement of winning the first LPL championship. The only way to set a new record in the new season is to strengthen the team. If you were in my situation, what would you do? As the support with the least human rights and the worst player on the team, I could be kicked out at any time." "Do I really have to put my fate in the hands of others and wait for them to decide?"
"LNG offered a salary ten times that of Topsports!!"
"Even if I don't think about myself, I should think more about my family, right? I didn't see any hope before, but now I finally have hope. I also want to have a house that truly belongs to me in Shanghai, so that I can settle down here with my parents who have raised me for half my life. I want to be filial to my parents, is there anything wrong with that?"
"You can say whatever you want. I may be a traitor in your eyes, but I am a hero in my family's eyes!"
As Mark spoke, he felt so aggrieved that he burst into tears.
This statement was actually recognized by some passers-by, and the haters even called him a "filial son".
Topsports fans were so angry that they laughed:
"To put it bluntly, isn't it because of money that you betrayed Yishen? You are not wrong, it is Yishen who is wrong. If it weren't for him, you would still be working at LGD, earning 20,000 yuan a month, playing fewer games, and you might even retire early and become a delivery boy before the end of the season. It's all Yishen's fault for helping you win the championship, and it's all the boss' fault for giving you, a worst support, a bonus of 3 million yuan just for Yishen's sake!"
"If you don't have these, you're still racking your brains on how to survive in this circle, and you're still trying to buy a house in Shanghai. You're buying it with your mother's head!"
"You are not only a traitor in the eyes of netizens, but also an ungrateful beast in the eyes of your parents!"
"To put it bluntly, it's like a poor boy with no talent meets a noble person. After he makes his first pot of gold with the help of the noble person, he sees a broader sky. When faced with benefits, he forgets the noble person without hesitation and becomes a traitor."
"The bad nature of a petty-minded person cannot be changed."
These contemptuous words immediately made Mark so angry that he broke down and went off the air.
Faced with online criticism, 369 and Karsa had to come out and defend their actions.
"Although I won the world championship in Top Esports, I didn't get the treatment of a world champion at all. Everyone thought I was a loser. In your eyes, I was just a dog of GodYi. Being scolded by him every day became a joke in your eyes. Is there anyone in Top Esports who really respects me?"
"Everyone wants to see the top lane gain an advantage, but they want to leave the top lane alone every time. If I push the lane, I will be caught by the opponent's jungler. If I don't push the lane, I will be mocked as a loser online."
"Who can stand up in this situation?"
"Since the summer season, the jungler has always been focusing on the mid and bottom lanes. In the end, I was the only one who took on everything. But when the harvest came, even Karsa's bonus was higher than mine!"
"In many world competitions, even if I lose, my final output is even higher than that of A Shui. Why am I so unpopular?"
"JDG gave me the respect that truly belongs to a world champion, but what about Top Esports? Maybe you don't know, but this is no secret within Top Esports. This season, Top Esports would rather offer Yi Shen a super-large contract worth 100 million yuan than allocate resources to us, the club's veterans. Is this kind of differential treatment fair?"
"The chess god spends money like water, but he is stingy with me and tries his best to squeeze out the cost. I am also the world champion, so am I weaker than anyone else? Isn't it bullying an honest person to get such a small salary increase after winning the championship?"
"Besides, my own contract has already expired. I don't need to look at anyone's face when I want to go somewhere, right?"
369 felt a little guilty at first, but as he spoke, he started to feel better and said righteously:
"Don't say who betrayed whom. This is just mutual achievement at best. Without Yishen, we wouldn't have won the world championship, but without my 369 sacrifices, Yishen wouldn't have achieved what he has now."
“It’s not just those who stand in the light who are heroes. Oftentimes, the ones who sacrifice silently behind the scenes deserve more respect!”
"I%@#*&!" Topsports fans were almost blown away by the shamelessness of this beast.
Even some of his haters blushed when they heard this, and slandered him in their hearts: You really didn't say a word about the forehand and backhand gauze that Khan hit you in the World Championship finals?
It's fine if the jungler said that, but you're just a top laner, what does his good performance in the mid lane have to do with you?
However, the haters who were hoping that Yi÷ would be liquidated tomorrow naturally wanted the world to be in chaos, and they all pretended to agree with 369 and expressed their support. For a while, the live broadcast room of a certain audio platform was in a heated debate.
Karsa looked very guilty when he clarified the matter on live broadcast.
"I am already 25 years old. I am naturally grateful to Yishen for helping me realize my dream of becoming a world champion. But I am also about to reach retirement age. On the one hand, my body may not be able to cope with Topsports' high-intensity training. On the other hand, I also have to plan for my future."
"People die for money, birds die for food. In one year at V5, you can earn the money for the next five years. For a veteran who is about to retire, is there any reason to refuse such temptation?"
"After I retire, my career will be over. I'm really tired of people using my age as an excuse to lower my price. I just want to make more money in my last season for my retirement!"
Karsa's frank admission won approval from many passers-by.
But when Topsports fans asked the sharp question "Why did they have to run away in the last three days of the transfer period?", he turned a blind eye with a guilty conscience.
But everyone guessed the reason.
Why else?
It is nothing more than an act of smashing the bowl after taking everything. After all, they are competitors after leaving Top Esports. If Top Esports is given a chance to catch their breath and reconfigure the top lineup in the division, Top Esports led by Yi Shen will definitely be the biggest favorite to win the LPL in the new season. What is the point of their transfer then?
But doing so will inevitably result in Top Esports having no one available, which is equivalent to being infinitely weakened.
The ugly behavior of 369 and Karsa alone will not be forgiven by Topsports fans.
That night, the internet was filled with a series of controversial voices including "GodYi is deserted by his friends" and "Topsports is finished".
At the same time, his super contract worth 100 million yuan also caused an unprecedented storm in LPL. After all, even Uzi in his peak period was only worth 80 million yuan, and this included a series of miscellaneous expenses such as transfer fees. Yi Shen, who joined Top Esports as a free agent, didn't need any transfer fee.
After deducting this big head, even if you are the world champion, the best salary you can get in the new season is tens of millions, which is already the ceiling for the region.
No one expected that the behind-the-scenes boss of LPL's largest capital would be so generous. But precisely because of this, there were different voices on the Internet condemning the boss of Top Esports for not treating everyone equally, which led to the escape of 369 and Karsa.
That night.
Another big news has become a hot topic!
