Chapter 1 A Discussion

In the hotel, the FV Club's data analysis team was discussing and analyzing the day's matches with the team members.

The FV Club's players had only attended the opening ceremony, returning after watching the first four matches.

Watching the matches live was mainly to get a feel for the atmosphere of the competition, as the players had never competed in such a large venue, amidst the cheers of 20,000 spectators.

Different venues naturally brought different pressures to the players.

In a venue with tens of thousands of people, the applause and cheers of the audience were like a roaring tsunami. If it was a critical round, the pressure on the players would increase exponentially.

Under such circumstances, most players would experience tension, shaky hands, and impulsiveness, while a small number would become excited, more focused, and perform beyond their normal level.

This was the value of so-called clutch players, those who thrived in big games.

Of course, whether a player was a clutch performer was innate. Some could deliver famous moments the first time they competed in a major tournament as teenagers, while others remained mentally fragile even after several years of competition.

But to some extent, these mental issues could still be improved.

The FV Club's players had specifically gone to the venue today to experience the atmosphere and prepare themselves mentally, hoping to be in a better state when they took the stage for the quarterfinals.

Of course, the focus of the discussion was mainly on the content of the matches.

"The first match today is not worth mentioning. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and their understanding of the current meta and tactics was incorrect. There's no reference value."

"The second match was decent, but the mid-game decisions were clearly too rough. There's a lot of room for improvement..."

Zhou Pengyuan, the current coach of the DGE Club, was reviewing these matches, and the rest of the data analysis team, including the players, were constantly offering their opinions and viewpoints.

After the analysis, Zhou Pengyuan gave a simple summary.

"Judging from the first day of the group stage, these teams' understanding of the meta and gameplay is very different from ours."

"It's hard to say who has the correct understanding of the current version. We can't be too blindly confident."

"So, tomorrow, SUG and FV's second team will each practice the mainstream gameplay that appeared in the group stage. Use this gameplay to play a scrim against the first team and see how it goes."

"We don't necessarily have to learn other people's gameplay, but at least we need to have a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of this style."

Zhou Pengyuan assigned the tasks, and everyone took notes.

The players would not be watching the matches tomorrow. The data analysis team would watch the games, conduct reviews and analysis, and then present the results and analysis to the players in the evening.

The players would continue to train, carefully study the other teams' tactics and expand their hero pool, and maintain their form.

After all the tasks were assigned, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms to rest.

The three videographers finished shooting their footage for the day and were preparing to return to their rooms to edit the images and videos for posting on Weibo.

Wu Yue hurriedly stopped the three videographers, Manager Lu, and a few others.

"Don't rush off just yet. I have something to tell you all."

"President Pei just gave us a task. We need to increase our online activity on Weibo and synchronize our efforts on both Weibo and Twitter..."

Wu Yue explained President Pei's requirements in detail.

In short, they were to maximize heat and traffic, treating domestic and foreign teams equally, spreading the love (and trash talk) evenly, and going hard on everyone!

After hearing President Pei's request, the others had expressions similar to Wu Yue's earlier, and they all fell into confusion.

"This isn't just stirring things up; it's clearly inviting hatred! Domestic players are already very resentful and looking for an outlet. The other two clubs are playing dead, and now we're jumping out? Aren't we just asking for trouble?"

"I think it's okay. It's not like we lost the matches."

"The problem is, we didn't win either... If we start stirring things up now, people will think we're arrogant and kicking people when they're down. The fans of the other two clubs will also hold a grudge against us, and we'll definitely get flamed!"

"Maybe President Pei means we should play with some funny memes? We can just avoid mocking other teams."

"That's impossible. President Pei wants heat and traffic. Without targeting other teams, where will the heat and traffic come from? President Pei is practically telling us to go all out and start fights."

"We're definitely going to get flamed for this. The players will be under a lot of pressure."

"It's okay, the players can't use their phones or go online. They won't know."

"But what's the point of doing this? The risks and rewards don't seem to be proportional."

If it were someone else's suggestion, everyone would definitely reject it without a second thought. Starting fights and stirring up hatred before a match? Were they afraid they wouldn't die fast enough?

There was absolutely no need!

But since it was President Pei's request, they had to find a way to fulfill it.

After a long discussion, they couldn't come up with a good solution and could only follow orders.

Fortunately, the accompanying team was large. They searched online for interesting memes, improvised a bit, and found suitable pictures or videos. The material for a series of trash-talking Weibo posts was quickly prepared.

The three photographers were all skilled in image editing and video editing, and the translators could add bilingual subtitles. Everything was ready.

...

The discussion about the opening day of the IOI Global Finals continued throughout the day.

Since many people hadn't stayed up late to watch the IOI Global Finals, they only learned the results of yesterday's matches after waking up. Seeing that both domestic teams had lost, many *GOG* players also participated in the discussion.

The real strength of the domestic teams was obviously the focus of everyone's discussion.

Both teams had lost their first matches in the group stage, and the risk of elimination had increased sharply. Naturally, everyone felt that the overall level of domestic teams in the IOI project was much lower than that of foreign teams.

The World Finals had just started, and many viewers seemed to already foresee a bleak ending.

Relatively speaking, the FV Club had the least amount of discussion because they hadn't played. The topics were all focused on the other two teams that had lost.

The audience was busy finding scapegoats and had naturally lost interest in criticizing the FV Club's "extravagant lifestyle."

However, the players never expected that the FV Club would post on Weibo again!

And this time, the Weibo post wasn't about eating, drinking, and having fun, but a picture with a mocking tone.

The picture was a composite. The upper part was a photo of a swimming pool in a foreign country. In the upper right corner of the picture, a middle-aged man was holding his child high above the water, his face full of smiles. A *Tengda* logo was photoshopped onto the middle-aged man's head, while an FV Club logo was photoshopped onto the child's face.

To the left of the middle-aged man was a child struggling frantically, seemingly about to sink, with a desperate expression. The lower part of the picture was a picture of the bottom of the water, with a skeleton sitting in a chair, seemingly having died many years ago.

The two pictures were forcibly pieced together.

Logos of the other two domestic clubs participating in the competition were photoshopped onto the faces of the child and the skeleton: the one struggling in the water was the team that had been reversed after a hard-fought battle, and the one at the bottom of the water was the team that had been steamrolled in 30 minutes in the opening match.

The caption of the Weibo post was a sentence, in both Chinese and English: "Are you okay, my good brothers? Waving hand waving hand waving hand"

As soon as this Weibo post was published, it immediately attracted the attention of countless players who were tearing each other apart.

The meaning of the mockery was absolutely maximized!

The meaning was very clear: the other two clubs were in dire straits, one had already sunk to the bottom, and the other was still struggling, but not far from sinking. Only the FV Club was happily floating on the water, playing around, looking as if they had nothing to worry about and were sure of victory.

And the caption of the Weibo post was even more sarcastic. On the surface, it was a greeting, but with the "waving hand" emoji, it looked like they were waving goodbye to the two clubs.

Sure enough, the Weibo post was criticized as soon as it was posted.

"Too tasteless! Kicking your brother teams when they're down?"

"Hehe, you can only talk coolly now because you haven't played yet. I'll wait for you to be eliminated 3:0 in the quarterfinals!"

Of course, there were some other voices, but they were mostly neutral, neither criticizing nor supporting.

"It's okay, it's just a joke. Don't be too sensitive."

"The problem is, those two teams didn't play well. Can't we say that if they don't play well?"

"Hey, I suggest posting fewer controversial Weibo posts like this at this critical time. It's really easy to attract hate."

Many FV Club fans were worried about them, fearing that they would be flamed into dogs after losing the match because of these Weibo posts.

However, less than ten minutes later, the FV Club updated another Weibo post.

"We have a feeling that the 'damage conversion rate' of the entire FV team will not be optimistic."

Below were two comparison pictures. The first picture was "the economy eaten by other teams," with a picture of the Courtyard by Marriott's accommodation conditions; the second picture was "the economy eaten by the FV team," with a picture of the Ritz-Carlton's accommodation conditions.

The superficial meaning was to compare the accommodation conditions to the economy eaten in the game. Because the FV team's accommodation conditions were much better than other teams, they ate more economy and the damage conversion rate would be much lower.

But in reality, they were showing off their better accommodation conditions.

Before the audience could react, and even before the haters could come up with a response, the FV Club simultaneously updated another Weibo post and tweet!

This time, the content was much simpler, only @ing a few foreign traditional powerhouses, including the number one seeds from the European and American regions, with a picture of a slogan on the wall of a village in China: Recognize the situation and abandon illusions.

Within an hour, the FV Club had posted four or five Weibo posts and tweets with high intensity, all in bilingual versions.

In China, there were quite a few people criticizing them on Weibo at the beginning, but gradually, fewer and fewer people were criticizing them.

Because everyone found that the vocabulary for criticism had been exhausted, but the FV Club's online activity was still emerging endlessly.

Moreover, the FV Club wasn't just targeting domestic teams, but also foreign teams...

For example, the second Weibo post was openly mocking the accommodation conditions of all other teams, and the third Weibo post was declaring war on other foreign seed teams.

So by the time the later Weibo posts were published, most domestic players, even if they felt that the FV Club's confidence was overinflated, couldn't bring themselves to criticize them anymore.

Because the FV Club didn't have a match now. Even if they criticized them for being inflated, they had to wait until they lost the match before criticizing them. Otherwise, what if they really won against a foreign team after being criticized?

Although many Chinese netizens didn't like this kind of overly high-profile Weibo post, it had to be said that it had a very good effect, and the attention was directly maximized.

Originally, everyone was grabbing the two clubs that had lost the match and spraying them wildly, but now, the FV Club suddenly jumped out with a group taunt and pulled away the hatred, naturally attracting all the attention.

And on Twitter, the FV Club's official account was also growing rapidly!

Because *Tengda* had invested in many foreign veteran clubs, as long as they gave a greeting, these clubs would interact with the FV Club's official account, and with this interaction, fans came.

The foreign reception of these online tweets was obviously much higher. The comment area was full of "LoL" and other laughing emojis.

After all, for domestic players, humility is a virtue. They feel that words can't be said too completely, for fear of being slapped in the face afterward. But foreign players don't care much about this. They all have a mentality of not being afraid to watch the excitement, and even if they get slapped in the face afterward, they generally won't step on it.

Therefore, the FV Club's official account on Twitter quickly grew in followers, and several veteran clubs also followed each other and expressed their appreciation for the FV Club.

Immediately afterward, the FV Club pulled these veteran clubs into a group taunt again.

The content of the new Weibo post and tweet was: "The Family Tree of the Tengda Family."

Below was a tree-like family tree diagram. At the top of the tree diagram was *Tengda*, and below was a relatively thick line connecting to the FV Club, with the label "biological son." There were also some thinner lines connecting to other veteran European and American clubs such as FRY, with the label "adopted son."

Obviously, the FV Club was taking business class and staying in luxury five-star hotels, so of course they were getting the treatment of a biological son in *Tengda*. In contrast, the other clubs were only given sponsorships, but everything from food and accommodation was taken care of, so naturally they were getting the treatment of an adopted son.

Moreover, there was no way to refute this. After all, several veteran clubs such as FRY did receive sponsorships from *Tengda*, and even had trademarks on their team uniforms. Anyone with eyes could see it.

As soon as this Weibo post was published, it immediately had a kill-the-game effect and was reposted by players!

"My God, this FV Club is going crazy... After targeting domestic clubs, they're targeting foreign clubs. The mentality of these participating teams has been messed up by FV..."

"They're bad at everything, but they're number one in making trouble!"

"I'm convinced. They really showed the level of a number one seed in this regard."

"Strange, the FV Club's Weibo posts weren't like this before. Did they suddenly change their social media operations editor?"

"I'm afraid the club owner instructed them!"

"This wave, this wave must be President Pei planning and strategizing. Like the previous IOI qualifiers, it's all arranged!"

When the FV Club's first Weibo post was published, it did cause a lot of people to feel disgusted. After all, trash talk, like online activity, wants to create a program effect, so it will definitely cause some people to feel disgusted.

However, after the FV Club insisted on continuing to post several more posts, many people suddenly accepted this setting and even found it quite interesting!

Because the FV Club wasn't just targeting domestic teams, but also foreign teams, treating everyone equally, bringing a lot of happiness to the netizens who were eating melons, and also diluting the frustrated atmosphere of the previous two teams losing the match.

In addition, combined with the accommodation conditions and other content updated by FV Weibo before, all the attention, whether domestic or foreign, was focused on the FV Club.

Although they didn't play a match, the attention gained by the FV Club still increased rapidly, and quickly surpassed the other two clubs!

...

At the same time, a hotel near the headquarters of Riot Games.

Zhao Xuming was scrolling through his phone, his face gloomy, and said, "Bah, unlucky!"

Zhao Xuming had been visiting and inspecting Riot Games these past two days. Kredian had Riot Games employees accompany him throughout the entire process, which could be said to be very generous and full of hospitality.

Today, Zhao Xuming also went to the venue of the match and watched the two matches with domestic teams, but he was full of anger.

They played too embarrassingly!

If they won one of the two matches, it would have been fine. At least they would have gotten their first victory.

But both teams lost. One lost like diarrhea, and the other lost like constipation. It was hard to say which one was more embarrassing.

Of course, Zhao Xuming had the right to be angry. After all, Longyu Group paid for these two teams to come to Los Angeles in advance to train. But after training for so long, was this all they had to show for it?

The money was all wasted!

However, Zhao Xuming didn't say anything. After all, it was only the first day of the group stage. If these two clubs played better later, they could still qualify. So at this time, it was better to focus on comforting them and not be too harsh, as that would only affect the players' mentality even more.

Zhao Xuming's mentality had almost been adjusted, but the FV Club's actions messed up his mentality again.

Before, Zhao Xuming thought that the worst situation was that both domestic teams lost on the first day of the group stage, and the situation couldn't get any worse, right?

But now he realized that he was still too young.

The FV Club directly stirred things up with high intensity on Weibo and Twitter, and even interacted with those foreign clubs, directly attracting most of the domestic attention and also gaining a lot of fans abroad.

Although there were quite a few people criticizing them, being criticized was also part of the attention.

The FV Club was originally just a small club with no fame abroad, but this wave of online activity directly raised its level to the same level as veteran European and American clubs like FRY, which could be said to be a huge win.

For Zhao Xuming, this was of course unacceptable.

Because everyone knew that the FV Club was a club invested by *Tengda*, the stronger the FV Club's presence, the more uncomfortable Zhao Xuming would be.

But Zhao Xuming didn't have any good ideas. He couldn't just tell Weibo and Twitter to ban the FV Club's official account, right? That would be inappropriate.

He could only pretend not to see it.

At this moment, the phone made a "ding ding" sound again, another new Weibo post from the FV Club.

Zhao Xuming was speechless: "Again? Is there no end to this?"

He clicked on it and found that it was the "Tengda Family Tree" Weibo post, which included not only the FV Club, but also clubs sponsored by *Tengda* such as FRY.

"What the hell is this!"

"Too much!"

Seeing this Weibo post, Zhao Xuming was even more angry.

He had already noticed when watching the match that many veteran European and American clubs had the *Tengda* or *GOG* sponsorship logo on their team uniforms.

On the stage of the IOI World Finals, the team uniforms actually had the *GOG* logo on them. This was too embarrassing.

This matter was already like a thorn stuck in Zhao Xuming's heart, and this Weibo post pressed that thorn further in.

How did the clubs become *Tengda*'s sons?

After this picture was published, it gave netizens the feeling that all these clubs in the Finals were on *Tengda*'s side and had nothing to do with Riot Games.

This was equivalent to face-rolling output!

"President Pei had already sponsored these clubs several months ago. Thinking about it now, it's really too insidious!"

"If they continue to play like this, the *GOG* logo will be seen in the small windows of the players in the match and in the stage interviews after the match. Isn't this equal to advertising for *GOG*?"

"And the further they go, the more strong teams will be left, and this situation will appear more and more frequently..."

Zhao Xuming suddenly realized that this was a very serious problem. Just a little bit of imagination and the picture would be too beautiful to look at.

By the time of the semi-finals, maybe all four teams would have the *GOG* logo on them. No matter which team went on stage after the match, they would see *GOG*...

Too terrible!

In fact, it was equivalent to IOI spending millions of dollars to hold a grand World Finals, but *Tengda* Games only sponsored a few clubs and piggybacked on the heat of the IOI Finals, achieving an excellent promotional effect...

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

After thinking it over and over, Zhao Xuming decided to call Kredian.

It wasn't impossible to remove the *GOG* logo now.

Just have the clubs breach the contract and pay the penalty.

However, the clubs definitely couldn't pay for it themselves. Riot Games had to pay for it. Of course, Zhao Xuming didn't know how much the sponsorship fee was or how much the penalty would be.

But between two evils, choose the lesser one. Rather than being piggybacked by *GOG* from beginning to end, it was better to cut off his arm like a hero, pay a sum of money, and get rid of all the elements related to *GOG* in the group stage!

...

Half an hour later.

Zhao Xuming had been waiting for Kredian's call, but after waiting for so long, there was no reply. He couldn't help but worry a little.

Kredian also strongly agreed with Zhao Xuming's point of view, believing that it was very uncomfortable to see the *GOG* game logo appear frequently in the IOI Global Finals.

Therefore, Kredian decided to call the clubs and ask how the specific sponsorship contracts were signed and how much it would cost to breach the contract.

As a result, it took a little longer to ask.

Finally, the phone on the table rang, and Zhao Xuming quickly picked it up.

Kredian's voice on the phone was a little helpless: "I just asked. *Tengda* sponsored a total of ten clubs, $1 million each. If they want to breach the contract, they need to pay double the compensation."

"Most of these clubs came to the World Finals."

"It is estimated that five teams may enter the quarter-finals and two to three teams may enter the semi-finals. If we consider the quarter-finals, the compensation will be $10 million. If we consider the semi-finals, the compensation will be $4 million to $6 million."

"This money...is a bit too much."

Zhao Xuming didn't know what to say for a moment.

President Pei actually sponsored so much money?!

Zhao Xuming didn't know the specific amount before. If based on the domestic price standard, each club might sponsor about one million to hang a logo, which is about $150,000 in US dollars.

At this price, it would be completely okay to pay double the liquidated damages. He could afford it.

He never expected that President Pei would be so generous and directly spend $10 million to sponsor these clubs, $1 million for each club!

If they wanted to breach the contract, the money would definitely not be paid by the clubs themselves. It would be paid by Dayak Group. But even if only the semi-final teams breached the contract, they would have to pay $4 million to $6 million. This amount was too unacceptable.

Kredian said: "I think it's a loss to spend so much money, so... forget it."

Spend millions of dollars just to remove the *GOG* logo from the participating teams? That would be too stupid.

Zhao Xuming was silent for a moment and said, "If we only consider the World Championship, that's true, but... what about the league later?"

"There will be leagues in various regions soon. Most of the spring season spots in the European and American regions will be given to these veteran clubs. If we don't make a decision quickly now, then the spring and summer seasons of the leagues in the future..."

"I'm afraid the *GOG* game logo will also appear frequently!"

"Moreover, *Tengda* obviously intends to use this to make a fuss. We can see it from the tweet from the FV Club."

"The clubs have all become *Tengda*'s adopted sons, and they have nothing to do with Riot Games. What if *Tengda* continues to make a fuss about this in the future?"

"As long as the *GOG* logo is printed on the team uniform, it will be slapping us in the face!"

On the other end of the phone, Kredian was silent for a long time.

That's right, it's okay to bear with the World Championship, but what about the league later!

The strong teams in the European and American regions are basically sponsored by *Tengda*. At that time, the top-ranked and most popular teams will all have the *GOG* logo on their team uniforms. What is this about?

Even if Kredian wanted to go the other way and sponsor the *GOG* teams, it would be useless. That side is just an iron bucket. There is no way to break into them...

Now there are only two choices: either endure it and pretend not to see it, and wait for the *GOG* logo to be hung on the team uniforms of star teams in the World Championship and regional leagues in the future; or bleed heavily, and even if all sponsorships cannot be breached, at least make sure that the *GOG* logo does not appear on the team uniforms of several star teams.

Kredian was silent for a long time and said, "Indeed, this is a very serious problem. I will report it now and hold a meeting to discuss it as soon as possible."

Now is the critical period of the World Finals. Letting the *GOG* icon appear for one more day will cause some losses to Dayak Group and Riot Games, so this matter cannot be delayed and a meeting must be held as soon as possible to discuss it.

If they really want to breach the contract, they must do it as soon as possible, because the earlier they do it, the smaller the impact will be!

...

...

December 31st, Saturday.

Pei Qian was sleeping soundly.

After eating the melon from the IOI Global Finals yesterday, he had been studying hard, ignoring everything else.

The FV Club had sent a lot of Weibo posts according to his instructions and had already stirred up all the hatred.

The IOI matches this morning were from the other two groups and there were no domestic teams, so Pei Qian didn't pay attention to them anyway.

No matter how he thought about it, today was a perfect weekend and he should sleep in beautifully.

However, before 9 o'clock, the phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Pei Qian opened his sleepy eyes, a little angry, turned over, and thought of ignoring it.

However, the phone was still vibrating persistently.

Pei Qian couldn't sleep anymore. He sat up very speechlessly and looked at the caller ID. It was He Desheng.

"Could there be some new situation with Cold-Faced Lady?"

"That's not right. I've already sold all the shares of Cold-Faced Lady, right? It shouldn't have anything to do with Cold-Faced Lady."

"Then why is He Desheng calling me?"

Pei Qian was a little confused and answered the phone, "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, He Desheng's voice was very excited: "President Pei, there's good news!"

Pei Qian: "?"

As soon as he heard the words "good news," Pei Qian shuddered subconsciously.

But he couldn't think of what good news there could be.

Could it be that Dream Chasing Venture Capital had recently invested in a very promising company, whose valuation had suddenly skyrocketed, and they had made a lot of money by selling the shares?

But there was no sign of it before?

Pei Qian tried his best to stay calm: "What good news?"

He Desheng said: "President Pei, do you remember the foreign e-sports clubs that you sponsored through Dream Chasing Venture Capital before?"

Pei Qian's brain was blank.

Sponsor... foreign e-sports clubs?

Pei Qian tried hard to remember and finally remembered that Dayak Group had forced a large sum of money to force *Tengda Group* to acquire the shares of Riot Games. Pei Qian got angry and spent the money that month.

Among them, 10 million US dollars was used to sponsor ten well-known veteran e-sports clubs abroad, so that they could establish *GOG* divisions, then print *GOG* logos on their team uniforms to advertise *GOG*.

Although this work should belong to Shang Yang Games, after all, there is a specialization in the art, so it was ultimately handed over to Dream Chasing Venture Capital and He Desheng to handle it.

But after that, Pei Qian never cared about it again.

After all, the money had already been spent, and these teams would at most advertise *GOG* during the live broadcast, but it didn't cause much of a wave.

Pei Qian asked: "These clubs... what's wrong?"

He Desheng's happiness in his tone was a little uncontrollable: "President Pei, I thought you sponsored these clubs simply to advertise *GOG*. I really didn't expect it to have this layer of profound meaning!"

"Just now, the owners of five clubs contacted us, saying that they wanted to terminate the sponsorship contract with us and were willing to pay double the compensation in accordance with the regulations in the contract!"

"That is to compensate us with 10 million US dollars!"

Pei Qian was stunned, and a string of question marks floated above his head.

???

Ten million dollars?

Compensate us?

These clubs must have water in their brains, right?

Pei Qian only spent a total of 10 million US dollars in sponsorship before, but now five of the clubs want to terminate the contract and have to pay another 10 million US dollars.

The money that was spent before has come back on its own!

No matter how you look at it, *Tengda* is making a lot of money.

Because the sponsorship of the other five clubs is still in effect, and the five clubs that terminated the sponsorship contract have already advertised *GOG* for a long time. It is impossible to deduct the advertising fee.

It is equivalent to these five clubs advertising for free and each losing one million dollars!

Pei Qian felt a little dizzy and didn't understand what was going on with these clubs. Did they have water in their brains, or did they think they had too much money?

How was this operation made?

He Desheng was very happy and continued: "President Pei, I simply asked the person in charge of these clubs before I knew what was going on."

"It turned out that Dayak Group and Riot Games instructed them!"

"Riot Games can't stand the fact that these teams' team uniforms have the *GOG* logo on them. Considering the great influence of the World Championship and the subsequent league in various regions, it is equivalent to advertising for the competitor *GOG*, so they decisively and forcibly terminated the sponsorship contract with these clubs!"

"This money will definitely not be paid by the clubs themselves, but by Riot Games."

"But even so, the clubs are also at a loss. After all, the one million dollars that they got is gone. They advertised for free for a long time and Riot Games won't give them any extra compensation."

"However, Riot Games has promised these clubs the league seats, which is considered a compensation. After all, other clubs have to pay to buy the seats."

"In short, President Pei, you spent 10 million US dollars to sponsor these clubs, which not only had a very good advertising effect, but also got it back without losing a cent!"

"This operation is so perfect. It has calculated the psychology of Dayak Group and Riot Games. Although it is a sponsorship, it is actually equivalent to an investment, and it is making a lot of money!"

Pei Qian could feel He Desheng's excitement even over the phone.

Who would have thought that the money that had already been spent could grow wings and fly back on its own???

Pei Qian couldn't help being speechless.
