LOL: You don’t want to be broadcast live on the entire network, right?

Chapter 47 Arriving in South Korea, SKT has a profound foundation
The base of the SKT club is located in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

Unlike most teams in the domestic LPL division, which use villas as their training base.

SKT's base is an 11-story building. The entire building is red and black, and the stairs form a huge "T1" logo. It is the most famous landmark building nearby.

Judging from the housing prices at this time, the average price of surrounding land is about 13 yuan per square meter.

Chen Yiqiu stood downstairs, looking at this team base that has left a strong mark on the history of the alliance, his eyes slightly surprised.

This was the first time he felt that an e-sports club could be so proud.

But when he actually entered the building, he realized that his situation was small.

On the first floor of the base is the SKT offline peripheral store, which is open to the public and sells various SKT peripheral clothes, keyboard and mouse supplies, and you can also take photos with the player's human figures to check in.

On the outside, there are actually SKT's own co-branded cafes, restaurants, and home appliance sales.

Because the venue was so large, the free space on the first floor was turned into a youth training camp. According to Kkoma, an entire floor of the 11-story building is used as a youth training base for SKT T1.

The entire third floor is dedicated to the training room of the LOL team, which is also where Chen Yiqiu will spend most of his time in the future.

There are training rooms, fitness rooms, canteens, rehabilitation, swimming and other scene equipment that can help players achieve physical and mental health.

The fourth floor is a place dedicated to live broadcasts.

There are ten live broadcast rooms, each of which is named after the place where SKT won the championship. It has far-reaching commemorative significance and is also a 'holy place' where countless fans want to check in and take photos.

Fifth floor, sixth floor...

After watching the whole circle, Chen Yiqiu, who has become stronger physically, actually feels a little tired. At the same time, he has a new understanding of SKT's formality and financial resources.

He had never been exposed to SKT before. Now he compared SKT with domestic clubs for a moment, but he tasted something very different.

Not only was it formal and prosperous, before he walked into the building, he even saw a huge poster of Faker on the bus stop not far away, which everyone took for granted.

——Pillar industries.

Chen Yiqiu had a clear idea of ​​this comparison in his mind.

It is said that e-sports is South Korea's pillar industry, but he had never truly experienced it personally until this moment.

"This is the S championship we have won every time, as well as the league championship... and other championship trophies."

Li Sang Hyuk accompanied Chen Yiqiu and pointed to the most conspicuous wall of honor in the lobby on the first floor.

Chen Yiqiu looked over and saw that the wall of honor was very large, but the dense trophies almost filled it up.

In the most conspicuous position are two exquisite Summoner's Trophies. Next to the trophies are the autographs of the five starting players who won the championship that year.

S3 global finals championship trophy, S5 global finals championship trophy.

Chen Yiqiu saw MaRin's signature, which was the position he was about to take over.

"There is a model inside, and the S5 trophy was just put in not long ago."

Lee Sang Hyuk raised his eyebrows with rare pride: "How about it? Do you have the urge to play right away?"

"Full of honor, indeed a wall of honor."

Chen Yiqiu cherishes the trophy honors on this wall. This is indeed a unique card in the history of the league.

"Come on, let's go up... uh, wait a minute."

As soon as Lee Sang Hyuk took a few steps with Chen Yiqiu, fans who were checking in and taking photos on the first floor caught him.

And the number of people gathered more and more, and soon the first floor was full of people, and there was even a line outside the door.

Chen Yiqiu had previously discovered that there were many fans visiting the first floor of SKT's base. After asking about it later, he found out that this was a normal phenomenon and that there was an endless stream of people almost every day.

Buying peripherals, squatting as a player, the level of professionalism is simply more exaggerated than the rice circle.

He politely took a few steps back, leaving plenty of room for Lee Sang Hyuk to take photos.

Looking at the other person's signature thumbs up and fake smile, Chen Yiqiu noticed something else.

Many of the SKT fans around him seemed to be secretly observing him... "Is there something wrong with my face?"

Chen Yiqiu muttered, but soon saw various emotions in the fans' eyes.

Curiosity, surprise, questioning, anger.

"I heard 'Korean Wolf' Wolf mentioned before that not only the LPL, but also the LCK are very dissatisfied with SKT's signings for the new season... It seems that 'dissatisfaction' needs to be put in quotation marks."

Chen Yiqiu had a smile on his face and smiled generously and politely with the person who peeked at him.

"Wow... is this the Chinese player that T1 introduced this year?"

"He looks so polite, and his temperament and appearance are very good. Has T1 taken on the role of appearance?"

"I've studied his videos and he's pretty good."

"But I heard that he came on as a transfer, and his results in the previous games were not good. I can still accept T1's introduction of youth training. Is it fair to the youth training boys who have worked so hard to start the game?"

His voice was not too soft. Everyone thought that Chen Yiqiu couldn't understand Korean, but in fact he understood it very well.

There was no expression on his face, and he waited for Li Sang Hyuk to finish before the two of them went upstairs together.

On the way, Chen Yiqiu was also thinking about the treatment SKT gave him.

He didn't know it before coming to Korea, but after getting to know it, he already knew how sincere SKT was to him.

Because in South Korea, e-sports is a pillar industry, formal and orderly, and has its own set of strict promotion rules.

For example, if a new player wants to join SKT, he must go through a month of rigorous selection and testing. After several years of hard work, he may have a chance to debut when his starting form is not good.

Those children who are selected to join SKT's youth academy have to practice for at least two and a half years before they get the chance to debut.

Lee Sang Hyuk was no exception to this point, and it took him a full month to test and select.

However, the treatment given to him by SKT is that he does not need any tests. As long as there are no problems in the trial training, he can directly start 100% for the first team.

"Are the viewers in the LCK division and SKT fans also very resistant to the introduction of a Chinese in the new season?"

Walking to the training room, Chen Yiqiu suddenly asked.

"Ok?"

Li Sang Hyuk was stunned for a moment, the panic in his eyes flashed away, and he waved his hand: "How could it be possible? In fact, everyone welcomes you... It's just that our team has a lot of... black fans in the country, so..."

"Don't take it personally, just prepare for the trial training."

"What's the matter? They don't know much about me. The most they know about my few videos are the ones you posted, haha."

Chen Yiqiu showed a bright smile, then pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Give me a week...at most a week, and then you can start trial training."

"I'm on layover for a week...isn't it too much to rush?"

Brother Li frowned: "Don't worry, it's still a long time before the spring games. The coach has already said hello to the supervisor. We have plenty of time to adjust and practice."

"Just one week, didn't you say, it's all single-player, one week is enough."

Chen Yiqiu smiled confidently: "If I fail to pass the trial within a week, I will go back by myself."

Lee Sang Hyuk remained silent.

SKT gave Chen Yiqiu a month of transfer time, and he only practiced the most important heroes and his understanding of the top lane.

Now Chen Yiqiu is talking about a week...

He suddenly thought of Chen Yiqiu's learning ability that made his hair stand on end when he first met him.

One week... is a miracle for others. If you are a player in Yiqiu, you may be able to do it...
