Co-owner of Vici Gaming told about the transfer of Eurus to 4AM
Chen Qing, co-owner of ??Vici Gaming, held a live stream where he told everything about ??Eurus's situation and his transfer to 4AM.
During the stream, he said that the current situation with the Chinese player's transfer to the 4AM team resulted from disagreements with the organization's key partner — Elephant. It was they who each time refused the terms of the deal. The price for the ??Eurus' transfer was known even before the Chinese New Year and was ￥1,500,000, which is approximately $225,000.
In August this year, Eurus told the club's management that he wanted to play with ??SoMnus and ??Fy. But after the reshuffle season began, Vici Gaming received a lot of offers for ??Eurus to join their teams. Some even offered higher prices than the transfer fee. But the desire to play in a team with ??SoMnus and ??Fy, as well as the verbal agreement with 4AM for the transfer, made Vici Gaming refuse other clubs offers.
After all the clubs announced their rosters, Elephant decided to don't buy out ??Eurus' contract. At the time of the 4AM team's announcement, which included ??Sylar, ??Eurus hadn't signed a contract with the new team. It was the leverage not only on ??Vici Gaming but also on 4AM players. They agreed to lower their salaries to buy the Eurus' contract. At one moment, Eurus even wanted to personally buy out his contract and transfer to a new team as a free agent.
As a result, Elephant paid for the transfer, but the salaries of several players became lower.
