Chu Fangnan flew from China to London, took a train to Manchester City, and then took a bus to Milton Stadium. As the person in charge of this trip, Chu Fangnan didn't even have time to rest. He immediately started inspecting the stadium.
Therefore, after giving Lin Feng and the others the address of a nearby hotel, Chu Fangnan hurriedly went backstage to look for the other subordinates of the British branch to communicate and inspect the work. Lin Feng and the others looked at Chu Fangnan's back as he hurriedly walked away. After a few words, they turned around and left.
According to the address given by Chu Fangnan, the hotel where the members of the three LPL clubs were staying was indeed not far from the stadium. It was about a seven-minute walk.
As soon as they walked out of the stadium, they could see a tall hotel building and a rather eye-catching signboard not far away.
"Hilton!"
Lin Feng exclaimed. He then smacked his lips.
"The treatment of esports players these days is really getting better and better."
There was a hint of regret in his voice.
An Xin couldn't help but laugh when she heard his complaint. "Yeah, it's many times better than before."
Ceng Rui also understood. He looked at Lin Feng and said, "You guys didn't live that well back then, right?"
Lin Feng curled his lips. "Yeah … We could only stay in small hotels back then."
But even though the treatment of professional esports players had improved in recent years, their results didn't seem to have improved correspondingly. Ceng Rui shook his head. "The industry system is still immature. There are all kinds of premiums in player contracts and all kinds of benefits. It's not necessarily a good thing to have so much money in the market."
An Xin nodded lightly. "Yeah, the income and benefits in the LPL now … are many times better than in Korea."
Excluding the top players in the world like Han Shihao, Moon, Mafa, and Orian, most of the other ordinary players in the LCK region only had an annual salary of a few hundred thousand RMB.
It was normal to have a monthly salary of seven to eight thousand RMB.
Even players like Han Shihao and Moon, who were at the level of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), had signed contracts with a term of several years long ago. Their prices were very limited, and the income that they could earn now was actually not that high.
At the very least, if these top Korean players were allowed to come to China, their value would definitely increase by at least three to five times.
This was also the main reason why many Korean professional players had come to the LPL region in the past two years.
There was a lot of money.
However, after they arrived in China, these Korean players were earning several times more than what they had earned in the past. However, their overall competitive state had been declining. The results and standards they had achieved in the LPL region could not be compared to when they were in the LCK region. Naturally, many players complained that they were there to earn money for retirement.
However, when these Han players returned to Korea and returned to the LCK division, they seemed to have gotten rid of the lazy attitude they had when they were foreign helpers in China. All of a sudden, they were full of energy and vigor. Many of the clubs in the Chinese server who had recruited Han players before could not understand this phenomenon.
In fact, it was really because the environment of the local server was too loose and the system was too immature.
Lin Feng slightly narrowed his eyes. His eyes were twinkling.
In comparison, Korea's eSports system was extremely mature, including the environment and atmosphere. They truly knew how to nurture outstanding professional eSports players.
And the most extreme embodiment of this phenomenon … was precisely the SSK Club.
Inadvertently, the words that Number One had said to him, including the mysterious figure behind the scenes, flashed through Lin Feng's mind. His pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.
Beside him, An Xin noticed him.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Feng lowered his head and said: "Oh, I'm fine."
… …
After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Feng and the other two arrived at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel.
Just as they were about to enter, Ceng Rui, with his sharp eyes, was the first to notice a group of people coming out of the revolving glass door.
"Hey!"
"Is that them?"
Lin Feng looked up, and his eyes lit up.
"Oh!
They just happened to come down? "
As he said this, he waved at the people inside excitedly. "Hi! Ah Xing! Eleven! Fatty! Over here! Over here! "
Someone's voice was loud enough that it could be heard through the revolving glass door into the hotel lobby. The members of the three LPL club teams, who seemed to be walking over from the elevator, looked over in surprise. When they saw a certain someone, who was just short of jumping up and waving his hand, they all looked pleasantly surprised.
"Hey! Brother Lin Feng! "
"Holy sh * t, the god is here?"
"When did they come? What a coincidence!"
Immediately, the members of the three clubs also became excited and quickened their footsteps. At the very front were Li Shiyi, Tian Tian, Morning Star, Shi Hang and Huangxue Nightsong, who excitedly welcomed Lin Feng as soon as they walked out of the door.
Lin Feng happily opened his arms, ready to welcome his old friends that he hadn't seen in a few days.
Then, Li Shiyi and Tian Tian floated past him like the wind and excitedly hugged the girl behind him.
"Steamed Bun!"
"Long time no see! How are you? "
"We missed you so much!!"
After hugging her two old friends tightly, a sincere smile appeared on the girl's face.
"Yeah, it's really been a long time … Tian is fine, but Eleven, it's been so many years …"
Just like that, the three of them warmly and happily talked about the past as if there was no one else around. It seemed like they had endless topics to talk about. In contrast, the completely forgotten Lin Feng looked a little lonely and awkward.
"Sigh, I've been snubbed."
Shi Hang walked over with a face full of schadenfreude. It was rare to see someone embarrassed like this, so he naturally took the opportunity to mock him.
Lin Feng also looked gloomy. "Really … Are you treating me like I don't exist …"
Huangxue Nightsong also walked over and curled his lips. "You've only been gone for two or three days. What's there to miss? That girl hasn't seen Eleven and Circle God in many years, and you still want to fight for their favor? "
He also made fun of Lin Feng while he was down.
Morning Star's gaze swept past them and landed on the girl who was happily chatting with Li Shiyi and Tian Tian.
"Is this … the coach who led Maple's team back then?"
Compared to other things, Morning Star was still more concerned about this.
After all, the inside story was shocking enough.
Who would have thought that in the team that achieved such a brilliant result in the S1 season, apart from the five members, there was a girl who was also a coach and a leader behind the scenes?
She was so young and beautiful.
