LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 307 The new broom sweeps clean, firing two beasts from IG!

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, Principal Wang's expression hardened, and he immediately fell into deep thought.

He is indeed short of money and urgently needs funds, but if he tries, he can definitely get the money. However, it seems that he can only ask his family for help.

Doesn't this prove that he took 500 million yuan to start his business, but not only did he lose it all, he even had to put money into it?
He was very optimistic about the domestic e-sports market at the time, and he went all in without hesitation. Besides, even live streaming platforms like Longzhu, Quanmin, and Zhanqi did not go bankrupt.

If Panda goes bankrupt first, it will be a huge disgrace to the company.

After thinking for a long time, Principal Wang confirmed one question, "So are you going to come to IG to play professionally next year? Well, if we reach an agreement, I can be the owner, manager, coach, and player all at the same time."

hiss!
Principal Wang gasped in shock. What octopus?

There wasn't much more to say. He immediately agreed to cooperate with Chu Tian, ​​giving Chu Ran some shares in Panda and IG in exchange for Chu Ran's financial support to alleviate his immediate crisis.

In addition, this means that Chu Ran will continue to sign a contract with Panda TV, which is indeed good news for the Panda TV streaming platform.

At this moment, the reason why many investors dare not help Panda is because of Chu Ran. If Chu Ran agrees to renew his contract with Panda, then investors can still see the money-making ability of the Panda platform, and a continuous stream of capital will likely continue to flow into Panda.

But once Panda loses Chu Ran, the platform will have no advantage over the other platforms, and continuing to pour money into it will be a losing proposition.

Therefore, after Chu Ran and Principal Wang finalized the contract, they and Panda TV immediately released a Weibo post to explain the situation.

In an instant, the already lively LPL erupted into chaos once again!

The other managers who were still trying to snatch Chu Ran to their own platforms were completely dumbfounded.

"No? Really? Where is Panda going to get the money to renew Easy's contract? Are they going to stick with the old price? That's impossible. Panda offered much lower prices last year than we did this year."

"Even at last year's prices, Panda might not be able to afford it, not to mention that Easy is the kind of person who won't act until he sees a benefit in it; would he continue doing something without any advantage?"

"Did Xiao Wang ask his family for money?"

This idea wasn't just on one person's mind; other platform managers shared the same thought. Otherwise, Panda wouldn't have had the money to continue signing Chu Ran.

The sheer volume of Chu Ran's popularity, coupled with his unprecedented status as a Grand Slam champion, makes his popularity incredibly exaggerated.

On Chu Ran's Weibo post, a line of text attracted everyone's attention, indicating that she would be back to start live streaming again soon.

This immediately sparked heated discussions among countless netizens, especially Chu Ran's fans, who felt like ants were crawling all over their bodies if they didn't see Chu Ran's live stream every day.

Immediately afterwards, comments from various other sources flooded in, and the Weibo accounts of Principal Wang, Panda TV, and Chu Ran were suddenly bombarded with criticism.

This outburst wasn't just directed at Chu Ran's haters; they originally thought that if Chu Ran continued to drag things out, she would be constantly exploited by various live streaming platforms. Anyway, they were happy to see Chu Ran doing badly.

Even if it's just that Chu Ran is upset for a while.

Another group consists of Chu Ran's fans, who believe that Chu Ran has lost her mind. Panda TV has been reported to be facing financial difficulties, yet Chu Ran still renewed her contract with Panda TV.

[No way, buddy, have you really been offline lately, regressed to the Stone Age? Don't you see the latest trending topics? Even pandas are going bankrupt!]

[I'm seriously speechless. Chu Shen, did you get your brain caught in a door? As a fan, this is giving me a stroke. How can you possibly renew your contract with Panda TV?]

[Fuck you, is the person in charge at Panda TV an idiot? They actually renewed the contract!]

[Damn it, you bastard, you can keep streaming, damn it, I've uninstalled Panda TV anyway.]

[Live-streaming yourself dancing at your parents' graves; before burning the offerings for them, they will bless you to become the next Big Dipper!]

[What does this mean? It means that after people die, they turn into stars. The Big Dipper has seven stars, so the Big Dipper represents Shang Yang and Li Si.]

[66666! You're a genius!!]

Amidst the ongoing heated discussions among netizens, another Weibo influencer then made a revelation.

According to rumors, IG Club and Panda TV received a large influx of funds in a short period of time, successfully resolving their current financial crisis. However, the source of these funds is currently unknown.

The moment this news broke, the LPL was immediately thrown into an uproar once again.

This change came so suddenly that no one had time to react, and even many of Panda TV's top streamers and IG club staff were completely bewildered.

"Ah! Brothers, it looks like I'll be staying with you guys at Panda Tower!"

Thomas, a Panda TV streamer known for his PUBG gameplay, was beaming with excitement in his livestream. Many other Panda TV streamers who hadn't yet switched platforms were also overjoyed.

They all thought Panda TV was finished and were willing to pay the penalty for breach of contract to switch companies, but now there are breaking news that Panda TV is back in business, and Chu Ran's contract renewal further confirms this.

Everyone knows that Chu Ran isn't that stupid; the fact that he was able to renew his contract means that Panda could meet the conditions Chu Ran stated.

This news has made many streamers who switched platforms upon hearing the news of Panda TV's impending closure extremely regretful. They were willing to bear hefty breach of contract penalties to switch platforms, and even though some platforms have covered this cost for them, they will definitely try to recoup their losses.

In fact, live streaming platforms like Douyu and Huya were quite willing to pay the breach of contract fee, since Panda TV had gone bankrupt and they could have taken over the market share it occupied.

Paying a small penalty for breach of contract is a price I can afford.

But they can't afford to pay the breach of contract penalty. Panda is still there, and Chu Ran has even renewed his contract with Panda. This means that Chu Ran's huge traffic will continue to flow to other platforms.

What about all the efforts they've made during this period?
Did I try my best?

In an instant, not only was the entire internet in chaos, but the management teams of major live streaming platforms were also in complete disarray.

In essence, many platforms were outmaneuvered by Panda in this talent war. Now, they not only have to pay breach of contract fees to the streamers who switched platforms, but Panda's development will also continue to flourish.

Because of Chu Ran's existence.

"Fuck!"

The heads of various live streaming platforms were all on edge. They felt that this was a trap set by Principal Wang and Chu Ran, and that there was only one winner in the whole scheme: Panda TV.

"No wonder everyone calls him Ran Chu! He really is a beast! If he wanted to continue signing with Panda, he should have said so earlier. Why wait until we poached him before telling us?" "You beast! You bastard! Immediately arrange for an online army and a production team to go to his live stream every day to stir up trouble and put him on a show. I won't allow anyone to play us like this."

"Who does he think he is! He's just a lousy video game player."

This deep-seated resentment erupted in the heads of each live streaming platform, leading to a wrong decision that could result in immediate dismissal or at the very least, deduction of their bonuses.

The amount deducted depends on the extent of the platform's losses.

With such a significant loss, how could the person in charge not be angry? What's even more unacceptable to them is that some players, for whom agreements had already been reached and contracts were even being drafted, were being signed by clubs who all expressed their desire to sign Panda.

Take EDG as an example. Abu decisively abandoned what he had previously discussed with Douyu and Huya, since he wasn't violating any contract and his verbal decision had no evidence.

Panda TV has a large user base and offers higher salaries, so for the long-term stability of the club, it's natural to choose the live streaming platform with the greatest potential.

"Chu Shen is awesome! He ruined Uzi's All-Star qualification with just a few words, and now he's saved the Panda with a single signing."

Through the video call on his phone, Chu Ran saw Mala Xiangguo's happy expression and immediately waved his hand and laughed, "Don't brag, it's just luck. I'll be back in a few days."

"Hurry back, the All-Star event is about to start, and the LCK is making a fuss about reviving the region's glory."

Upon hearing Mingkai's words, Chu Ran was taken aback, and immediately said disdainfully, "How long has their region regained its glory? Has it really been regained? Not at all."

At the same time, news that the Panda TV platform had suddenly come back to life sparked heated discussions among netizens. There have been so many gossip stories lately that they simply can't keep up.

Inside the IG club, Ning Mazi exclaimed excitedly, "I told you! With the principal's abilities, the club and the live streaming platform won't go under. It's just that continuing to sign Liao Ran is a waste of money."

"If I were the principal, the first thing I would do is drive Ran Chu out of Panda Town."

After Ning Mazi finished speaking, Su Xiaoluo, who was standing next to him, was also in a good mood and immediately echoed Ning Mazi's words, "Indeed, that beast made money again. Seeing him make money is more painful than me losing money."

"Right, damn it, I wonder where this bastard will go next year. I just hope he can keep fighting so I can blow him up." Ning Mazi clenched his fists, his face showing a fierce glint, clearly still unconvinced.

Hearing their conversation, Rooike couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "You two should keep your mouth shut, or you'll get bombed again if your words get out."

"Tch, do you think I'm afraid of those little black bastards? Next year, I'm going to give those little black bastards a good thrashing!"

"No, we have to play in the All-Star game."

Ning Mazi's lips curled up slightly. Luckily, each team can only send two people to the All-Star event, otherwise EDG would have really monopolized the venue this year, judging from the current trend.

EDG will definitely send Churan and Imp, so the other three positions will be pushed to the back. IG can get the top and jungle positions, and as for the last support position, no one can choose.

IG and EDG have already fielded two players, leaving only RNG's Xiaoming.

"You two better perform well this time. If you do well, maybe we can all get a raise together." Su Xiaoluo clicked his tongue, looked at Jackeylove, and thought that if he really got a raise, he could get a big kickback again.

For example, if the club agrees to give 800 million, then Su Xiaoluo will only give 400 million, or even less, and the rest of the money will go into his pocket.

But just as he was happily dreaming, suddenly, several leaders and shareholders of the IG club arrived at the training room and immediately called Su Xiaoluo and Ning Mazi over.

This left Su Xiaoluo and Ning Mazi looking at each other, completely baffled, wondering why they had been called over.
After the two left, Rooike looked worried. "I can only say I have a bad feeling. They just offended God Chu, and it seems that divine punishment is about to descend."

"It can't be that bad, even if he really is a god, we're thousands of miles apart right now." Jackeylove was a little skeptical.

Meanwhile, in a meeting room at IG.

Su Xiaoluo was extremely agitated. She slammed her fist on the table in front of the leadership and shareholders and roared, "Why! Why should I leave? Why are you firing me?"

“I have shed blood and made contributions for IG, and the club has no reason to fire me for no reason.”

"You embezzled funds and withheld players' salaries. For that alone, you should be fired. Moreover, since you didn't win the championship this year, you and the head coach should wait until after the Demacia Cup to leave the club with dignity."

"The club told you in advance so that you could start looking for a job."

However, the more Su Xiaoluo talked, the more excited she became, even turning red in the face. Ning Mazi, standing next to her, had veins bulging all over his body, wanting to immediately demonstrate the hospitality of a Northeasterner.

He was the runner-up jungler this year, and he was the runner-up jungler who defeated LCK's number one seed KT. This honor is already top-tier in the LPL. After all, someone has been hyped up to this day just because of two runner-up finishes.

Ning Mazi had just been fantasizing about a life of success and fame next year, but now it's all vanished.

"Fuck you, I'm not having it! Why won't you renew my contract? Is there any jungler in the LPL who's better than me right now? You'll regret this. I'm telling you, without me, let's see who your club finds to be a jungler."

"You have personally ended IG's hopes of winning a Grand Slam next year."

After saying that, Ning Mazi slammed his fist on the table, angrily uttering harsh words. He clearly couldn't accept that just the day before yesterday, part of the contract he had negotiated with Su Xiaoluo had been finalized.

If they don't renew their contracts, they'll lose their current status and position. Who wouldn't be drooling over that?

"The two of them were indeed on the defensive, but whether they were on the defensive or not, it was all the same to them, GG."

When they returned to the training room, Rooike and the others stared at Ning Maizi and Su Xiaoluo, their faces ashen.

what happened?
He went in with a big smile, but came back with a long face. This contrast stunned Rooike and the others, who couldn't help but ask with concern, "Ning..."
"Are you alright?"

"What could possibly happen to me? I'm going to rank up and kill him all night long. I'll see how I climb to number one on the Korean server and get him a secret Korean server account!"

Ning Mazi did this for two reasons: first, he wanted to vent his frustrations, and second, he wanted to reach the top rank in the Korean server so he could find his next job.

However, his anger had not subsided, and coupled with being let down by his teammates in the game, he was already in red temperature before the first game was even over, and then he roared in the training room.

Rooike and the others were completely bewildered. When they looked at Su Xiaoluo again, they found that Su Xiaoluo had been looking downcast for a long time, like a walking corpse.

For a moment, they were all filled with doubt.

Not
What happened?
