Chapter 7

In the middle of the night, the celebration dinner of the ROX Tigers finally came to an end after three hours of dragging. Except for the underage Peanut and Cry, the rest of the players and coaches were already in a slightly drunk state.

Lin Qiguang directly paid for a substitute driver and arranged for them to return to the training base, while he hailed a taxi and prepared to go back to his apartment in Tongque District to rest.

Stuffing the team members into the minibus one by one, Nofe wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked to Lin Qiguang.

"Axi, this group of brats are really difficult to serve, everyone is so poor at drinking but they are all vying for a drink, really." As he said that, Nofe took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, but did not give Lin Qiguang one.

Not to mention that he knows that Lin Qiguang does not smoke, even if he does smoke, Nofe feels that his bag of Baicaoyuan, which only sells for 3200 won, is a little bit hard to sell.

We have known each other for more than half a year, and although we still don't fully know what Lin Qiguang's family does, we can see some clues just because he can rent a high-end apartment by the Han River in Tongque District.

Not to mention that when he returned in the summer split, he also brought a lot of money to G-star Entertainment, the parent company of ROX Tigers, so that the team could move to a training base with better conditions.

Although the ROX Tigers and G-star Entertainment are actually affiliated, the core personnel are actually two coaches and four veteran players, so Nofe, who is also the team supervisor, is very clear about the source of the funds——

Kakao.

This Kakao is not Kakao. It is not the Kakao player who was poached by LPL's IG club at the end of 14, but the largest free chat software in Korea - Kakao Talk.

This capital injection is somewhat inexplicable, but for the ROX Tigers who are so poor that they dare not even turn on the air conditioner in the summer, it is undoubtedly a timely help.

Although love can be eaten as food, who doesn't want to have a better environment for their struggle?

As for how Lin Qiguang got this sponsorship from Kakao Talk, Nofe is not clear and he is not prepared to ask more questions. After all, Kakao Talk did not make any request, as if it was just out of kindness.

But the more this happened, the more Nofe felt that Lin Qiguang's identity was unusual.

"Qiguang, now that our team has also won the summer championship, maybe Kakao will have an idea of ​​increasing sponsorship?" Nofe finally plucked up the courage to ask after taking two puffs of cigarettes.

In fact, what Nofe thinks in his heart is not just to increase sponsorship, but to attract the attention of Kakao because the team won the summer championship, and finally let the team be acquired by Kakao.

Although this kind of thinking is a bit sorry for Huya, who initially funded the formation of the team, but there is no way, because the money given by Huya is too little, which makes the team always in a state of stretching.

He was obviously the runner-up of last year's S game, but up to now, no matter whether it is him or the players, they still get the basic basic salary of LCK every month.

If it weren't for their really good performance in the past two years, and they were able to get some competition bonuses one after another, I'm afraid they would not be able to persist.

Lin Qiguang guessed Nofe's mind at once, and said with a smile: "I will find time to ask about this matter."

"Okay, then you go back alone, pay attention to safety, we will go first!"

Although Lin Qiguang's words were ambiguous, Nofe also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, so he greeted and left.

It was past midnight when we got back to the apartment.

Since returning to the team in the summer split, Lin Qiguang seldom went back to live in this apartment. He lived with the team members on weekdays. The conditions must be much worse than when he lived alone, but the win is that he is humane.

This high-end apartment was rented by Lin Qiguang's mother for him when he came to Seoul to study in university. Although it is some distance from Seoul National University, the advantage is that it is adjacent to the Han River.

After washing up, Lin Qiguang came to the balcony in his pajamas to watch the night.

In the early morning, the Han River is still lit up, a neon scene.

He took out his mobile phone, hesitated for a while, clicked on the address book, and dialed a domestic number.

"Hello? Son?" A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone, seeming a little pleasantly surprised.

"Well, Mom, it's me. I'm sorry to call you so late."

"What are you talking about? It's never too late for a son to call his mother." Zhang Linxin reprimanded, and then asked, "Come on, it's definitely not just for your mother when you call me so late. How about a good night?"

"Eh, my dad."

"Dad, he hasn't slept yet." Zhang Linxin on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said: "When I served him the food at night, I saw your game screen on his computer. He is a knife mouth Tofu Xin, after seeing you win the championship, you made an exception and drank two glasses of wine with me after dinner."

Lin Qiguang listened to his mother's description, heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled silently.

Just like most wealthy families, Lin Qiguang, as the only child, was placed with high hopes by his father since he was a child, and the Jiasheng Group is also waiting for him to inherit in the future.

He was studying well in college, and suddenly went to play some unpopular e-sports. After learning about this, his father was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him. He even put down his company affairs for the time being, and flew to Seoul himself to beat him up. pause.

Later, under the patient persuasion of his mother, his father let go of the anger in his heart, calmed down and communicated with Lin Qiguang.

If it is Lin Qiguang himself, he was a top student since he was a child, and he performed very well at Seoul National University. Even if he dropped out of school, it would be just a year or two later than the expected graduation time.

Lin Qiguang's father, Lin Zhiyuan, is in the prime of his life, and he has plenty of time to wait for him to grow up. In addition, Zhang Linxin added a sentence: "Isn't Lao Wang and his son also engaged in e-sports? Young people can learn new things and learn from them." Good for growth."

Therefore, Lin Zhiyuan finally agreed with him to play e-sports with a dark face, but made a request:
"If you don't win the world championship this year, just go back to school."

Naturally, Lin Qiguang had no objections. His own strength lies in this, coupled with the understanding of the meta that has been several years ahead, and the team he chose is the ROX Tigers, which could have played five rounds with SKT.

If he can't win the championship, then he should consciously go back and inherit the family property.

After listening to his mother's rambling for a long time, Lin Qiguang finally asked, "Mom, you know the situation of the team I'm in, and see if there's anything you can do."

Lin Qiguang's parents started a business together back then. Strictly speaking, his father was a half-married son-in-law, so although Zhang Linxin seldom intervenes in group affairs, it is the same for her.

Zhang Linxin on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before sighing:

"Kakao has no intention of entering e-sports. I know this without asking your father. Although Jiasheng has expanded into the entertainment field since 12, it is basically out of touch with e-sports. If you are in that team, you will be given free sponsorship."

"If you really want to use e-sports to practice, your dad and I can learn from Uncle Wang after returning to China, and invest some money to let you buy a club or something, but let's forget it in Korea."

"Well, Mom, I see."

Zhang Linxin heard the slight sense of loss in Lin Qiguang's words, and persuaded: "The members of your team are indeed good boys, but that's why you have to think about their future."

"I don't know much about e-sports, but I think there are similarities with basketball and football. The team you've been in has performed well in the past two years. Both the players and the coach deserve higher salaries. After all"

"You can't always treat love as food. After working hard for the love in your heart, you still have to face life."
