Chapter 18 "5 Challenges!"
Chapter 18 "Five Challenges!"
Ye Bo looked at the message boards one by one, comparing the conditions of each team.
Obviously, his decision to play five games in LDL first was extremely wise.
The most obvious change is the huge difference that all the team managers who came to him now changed their original purpose of "reserve youth training talents" for the club to "recruiting a team of players"!
There is no doubt that Ye Bo's completely cross-level performances in these few games in LDL have proved that he is definitely capable of entering the LPL.
Even RNG, which has repeatedly hit a wall, has come back again, and even has the same manager!
The chat history interface between the two was still stuck at the time after they won the MSI championship last month, when the other party sent a special message: "What about now?"
However, even if he came again at this moment, his words still had a feeling of "We came here because we think highly of you!"
Ye Bo thought about it and responded tactfully.
【I am deeply honored by your invitation】
[This is already selected. Sorry]
【The friendship that is spread is precious】
[You must decline politely if you have no other choice]
【^_^】
After typing out a friendly greeting, he looked at the dialogue boxes of other people.
After looking around.
If you just look at the amount, the highest price was offered by my uncle's team.
The reason is not because the BLG people are stupid and have a lot of money, but because the uncles are professional at giving money away.
It’s just that compared to other first-line teams with considerable financial resources, currently only BLG’s mid laner is a relatively less conspicuous FOFO, so the urgency of the demand is naturally different.
Of course, there is actually one thing that Ye Bo doesn’t know.
That’s the role played by surfing king Chen Zebin!
The first time Ye Bo became popular was because of a reply post from the other party that was dug out from a grave by B Station.
But in fact, his intersection with Ye Bo was even earlier.
I remember the night before the MSI finals, when Ye Bo was matched against Doinb, he was matched against a random top laner who severely suppressed Duke Ornn's Shen.
And that one is actually Bin who was trained with a small Rank account!
In fact, it is normal if you think about it carefully. How can a random player suppress a professional player?
Therefore, Chen Zebin has "personally tested" the strength of this mid laner. When he was exchanged from RNG team to BLG team in the summer season, he specially gave his team manager a very high evaluation.
This made BLG rush over to place the bet.
"Who's in the BLG lineup? Come on, Uzi!"
Ye Bo was still checking BLG's summer season lineup.
WeChat, but suddenly a voice message popped up.
【McAbbe】
Speaking of which, Abu has always maintained contact with Ye Bo when he was in the youth training camp. After all, everyone knows that Ye Bo is a free agent and all teams have a chance.
However, in Ye Bo's decision, EDG has never been taken into consideration.
The reason is simple, because last year's champion mid laner Scout officially announced his contract renewal with EDG at the beginning of the year.
But what Ye Bo wants is to play in the game.
But out of politeness, he still clicked [Connect].
"How about it, Ye Bo, want to chat?" Abu, who had a shrill voice on the other end of the phone, got straight to the point.
"Sure." Ye Bo also wanted to hear what the other party would say.
"Well, to be honest, I have been watching you step by step during this period of time, and I know your strength very well."
"And in my opinion, the most valuable thing about you is not your present, but your future!"
"If our current mid laner wasn't Scout, I would have no hesitation in letting you start immediately."
What Abu said was indeed sincere.
As the nominal head coach of the youth training camp, he witnessed Ye Bo's journey from the first day he arrived at the youth training camp a month ago to the LDL arena a month later.
Its strength can be seen changing with the naked eye almost every day!
Of course, he would not take Ye Bo’s so-called “sleepwalking” story seriously.
But even if we only look at what is visible in reality, Ye Bo's practice time in the youth training camp every day is on average several hours longer than that of others!
Just being diligent is one of them.
The most important thing is that the other party can really transform diligence into improvement!
As a coach who has been in the industry for ten years, Abu knows very well what this kind of player means.
"But you also said that you already have Scout." Ye Bo doesn't like chicken soup. "Yes, but what if I promise you, even sign a contract, that you will be the only starter for EDG next year?" Abu continued to talk about his promise.
However, Ye Bo remained unmoved when he heard this.
Next season is too vague.
Even if each team can maintain its original lineup, the results in the second year are likely to be very different.
Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about this EDG!
As last year's S-League champion, the team returned to the game with its entire team this year, but its performance in the spring season was only seventh in the league, and it barely made it into the playoffs, but was eliminated in the first round.
Except for SKT in S5, no other team has been able to break the "Champion Curse" so far.
So, let’s not discuss whether the other party is just making false promises to you.
Even if it were true, the lure of starting next season wouldn’t be alluring.
However, Ye Bo successfully smelled the "melon" flavor from it.
Looking at it this way, is it confirmed now that Scout will not stay in EDG next year?
"Sorry Coach Abu, I don't want to be a substitute."
"As for next year, let's talk about next year later."
At this point, Ye Bo's tone already clearly showed his intention to drive the guest away.
But it was obvious that Ye Bo underestimated Abu's determination.
"I know that many teams have approached you. As far as I know, BLG should have offered you a two million season contract."
Ye Bo did not answer and agreed that it was not surprising that the other party knew all this.
Don't underestimate this number.
You should know that the highest annual salary for a rookie No. 50 pick is capped at $.
The highest record for a rookie contract dates back to Mr. Jack Love in the S8 period, who once received a rookie contract of three million a year, which is still the highest record for a rookie's annual salary today.
But actually, Ye Bo's contract is a "season contract", which is equivalent to only half a year.
So in fact, this is a record breaking one!
Abu on the other end of the phone was obviously silent for a moment, and Ye Bo seemed to be able to vaguely hear the sound of someone rummaging through something on the other end.
After a while, Abu opened his mouth again.
"I have an idea that I hope you can consider."
"EDG really hopes to prepare a gambling challenge for you."
"The content is very simple. You will be the starting player in the next five regular season games of EDG. Treat it as an "Assessment Challenge."
"If you can lose no more than 3 games in these five games."
"Then EDG will pay you a premium of three million for the season contract, and it will be clearly signed to guarantee that your subsequent games this year will not be less than Scout's."
Abu said this and added, "Oh, by the way! I have to emphasize that starting this year, all contracts in LPL worth more than 100 million are considered to be 'bets'. This is a new industry rule under this year's salary cap system. The same applies to Scout."
"But if we lose during the challenge, we have the right to replace the player. I hope you can understand this."
"Even if the challenge fails, we will still guarantee you at least 20% of the total appearances, and we will still pay you the same season contract as BLG, and our promise that you will be the only starter next year will remain unchanged."
“The only requirement is a 1+1 contract.”
After hearing this, Ye Bo looked extremely surprised.
EDG is going crazy! ?
【PS】：
Since many people have seen this and are discussing something, I’m sorry to say just a few words.
1. The team selection has been revised once. In the original version, I was criticized a hundred times in an hour. It was really difficult for the author.
2. The author actually has no preference towards any team. I have been watching LOL games for 2 years since S12. I don’t know how many rounds of lineup changes each team has gone through, and my mentality has long been Buddhist.
Frankly speaking, as an e-sports writer, what I most want is to have a team that is pure and white lotus and accepted by everyone, so that I can write with peace of mind.
However, think about it, given the current public opinion environment, is there still a chance? (Unless a team wins the S14 championship this year, it may be better for half a year~)
3. Just a spoiler, the problem will definitely be solved, but it will definitely require the course of the plot.
[Some people are still fussing about "rotation". Isn't it obvious that it is impossible to really develop to the point of "rotation"? Please don't forget that we are the protagonists]
that's all.
If you still can't accept it, it will affect your reading experience.
The author Jun would like to bow and apologize to you sincerely here. I hope we can meet again in the next book if we are lucky.
But please don’t put pressure on yourself in the book review section anymore.
I really don't want to answer and debate this question in the book review section every day. It really affects my mentality and writing efficiency. I may just delete it later. Sorry.
(The main reason is that it is meaningless, because the team has been decided anyway, and I can’t delete everything and rewrite it. If I change it again, I will not be able to continue writing.)
