Chapter 168 This summer, the last K1! [Also]

This week has been complete hell for K1.

Because they have no money, they are filming endorsements almost every day.

What kind of orange fruit, what kind of mouse and keyboard, what kind of gaming chair.

As long as it can make money, K1 will take pictures.

But even so, in a place like Shanghai where land is at a premium, the club's daily expenses are sky-high.

The money the K1 team members paid for their photos was just a drop in the bucket.

Because LeTV headquarters is still taking commissions, just like a vampire.

However, Manager Zhao is also a person who knows how to enjoy hardships.

"Looking at the bright side, at least we haven't set up a youth training camp yet."

Xu Ruoguang exhaled a breath and smiled helplessly.

"This is really good news."

"A lot of people have left."

Manager Zhao was silent for a while and then said something that did not surprise Xu Ruoguang.

"It's hard to get wages, so it's normal to leave."

"Manager Zhao, do you want to leave?"

Xu Ruoguang looked directly at him and asked calmly.

"What's your plan?"

Manager Zhao didn't answer, but asked instead.

"What else can we plan? Let's survive the World Championships."

"We'll talk about the next thing later."

"Are you sure you want to play in the World Championship? K1 is so poor right now that you guys can't even book a hotel for you when you go to the World Championship."

Manager Zhao sighed,

"Stop being brave, Ruoguang."

"You can win the championship again next year. I'm very optimistic about you."

"You are going to compete in the World Championship this year. If you don't win the championship, you will lose money. And if the situation does not improve, we will disband directly after K1 in the World Championship."

"Why are you so stubborn and insisting on competing in a world championship? Money is the most important thing."

"You know? Ruoguang."

Xu Ruoguang's expression didn't change much. He looked at Manager Zhao seriously.

"Maybe you are right. If we go to the World Championships, we have to use our own money to compete."

"But, I am a professional player and a manager."

"No one can say no to the World Championship."

"Even if this K1 will be the last swan song in 2016, so what?"

"I will do my best to give everyone who supports and trusts us a perfect ending."

"Money is very important, but if a person has no dreams, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?"

"I want to win the championship, it's that simple."

Xu Ruoguang has a stupid mouth and can't come up with any gorgeous words.

But he knows what he wants.

He wants to go to the World Championships.

I can't think about it anymore.

He returned to the original question.

"Manager, do you want to leave too?"

Manager Zhao was pacing in the room irritably, still cursing in his mouth.

"Crazy, crazy, all crazy!"

"What is the magic of the World Championship? You don't even want to ask for money?"

"It's so stupid! It's so stupid!"

Manager Zhao is an adult.

Adults don't talk about feelings, they only talk about money.

This is the reality of this society, so he should tell Xu Ruoguang rightly now, yes, I am also ready to leave.

He did think so.

but……

He was a little speechless.

In the year since he took over K1, Manager Zhao has evolved from a person who had no response or awareness of e-sports to the current e-sports know-it-all.

He looked at this group of teenagers, summoned by Xu Ruoguang, who started from a young age.

Keep climbing up and overcome one difficulty after another.

Spring Split, Champion!

MSI Mid-Season Invitational, champion!

There were setbacks during this period, but Ah Shui's gradual growth, Godv's self-redemption, and Xiaohuatuan and Scout's Chinese getting better and better, allowed this K1 to reach the most dazzling place in the star-studded LPL.

This K1 has a special meaning to him.

He watched them go up step by step, so he could better understand the difficulty of being a professional player.

Manager Zhao has a very good impression of every K1 player.

Xu Ruoguang, who laughs and laughs all day long but has a terrible venomous mouth during training matches.

The shy and comely little Peanut shows his bloodthirsty and energy when he gets the offensive jungler.

Scout is usually taciturn but actually very cheerful.

After carrying the curse for half a year, godv transformed from the scars.

There is also Ah Shui who is getting stronger and stronger, gradually becoming one of the strongest ADs in the world.

And Hirano Aya, whose desire has never been extinguished and whose dream is to avenge her shame.

Their youth, isn’t it Manager Zhao’s youth?

This group of young professional players made Manager Zhao understand why e-sports is so popular.

"I'm really scared of you."

Manager Zhao scolded him for a long time, but became more and more reluctant to give up.

He sighed.

"After the World Championships, I have to leave."

Xu Ruoguang's eyes suddenly lit up,

"Brother Zhao, aren't you leaving now?"

"My name is Uncle Zhao. I'm already thirty."

Manager Zhao said angrily.

"I don't know what I'm thinking now. I'm probably really crazy."

"Let's make an agreement first. I will accompany you during the World Championships. After the competition is over, I will pack up and leave."

Whether Manager Zhao leaves or not is very important to K1.

Because he has been coordinating all chores, contacting training matches, and organizing K1’s travel.

Manager Zhao handled all the visas for this World Championship.

For this kind of thing, if you don't have experience, it really can't be done by just finding someone temporarily.

Manager Zhao is also an indispensable member of K1.

Xu Ruoguang didn't know what to say, he just bowed deeply.

"Thanks you."

"Fighting well is the best reward for me."

Manager Zhao calmed down and said seriously.
