Chapter 19: The devil's schedule! The LPL journey is about to begin!
Chapter 19: The devil's schedule! The LPL journey is about to begin!
Ye Bo didn't quite understand.
Because it sounds like EDG is clearly at a loss!
If you play well, you can ensure your appearance rate and get a record-breaking rookie fee that is even higher than BLG.
Even if you don't play well, the other party will still guarantee to give you a certain number of games to play and gain experience, and you can also get an equal price!
As for the "1+1" contract, of course he had heard of it.
This is actually quite common in the sports world.
That is to say, by next year, Ye Bo will be free to negotiate with all other teams, and as long as EDG is able and willing to pay the same price as other teams, Ye Bo will be given priority to stay in EDG.
If a team offers a sky-high price in the second year, to the point that EDG is unwilling to pay, Ye Bo can choose to leave the team.
It can be said.
This is a type of contract that is not very restrictive and is even beneficial to the players, and can maximize the value of the players!
"Can such a good thing happen?"
Ye Bo was a little bit unconvinced.
He asked Abu to wait and pressed the mute button.
Then, I started searching for "LPL Summer Season Schedule" on Baidu.
When he selected EDG as the target of observation and looked at their opponents in the next five games.
He finally understood what Abu was looking through.
"LNGWBGV5TES!"
In addition to RNG's Xiaohu, JDG's Toothpaste, and EDG's Scout.
It can be said that the remaining top four mid laners in LPL are all in EDG's next five games.
Perhaps this old guy Abu discovered that the next five games would be "tough battles" for EDG, so he dared to make such a bet.
According to the gambling agreement, Ye Bo can only lose 2 games at most.
In other words, if Ye Bo wins, everyone will be happy.
But even if Ye Bo starts losing streak right away, EDG will only lose points from three regular season games at most.
There is no doubt that three small points are nothing, and 20% of the games are completely sufficient to use the bottom-ranked teams below.
If that is the case, next year's 1+1 contract will also be able to ensure that EDG will not suffer too much loss.
Looking at it this way, EDG's risk doesn't seem that great.
But is there any risk for Ye Bo?
EDG is a team that just won the Summoner's Cup half a year ago. Even if its performance in the spring season was not good, its reputation is still at its peak at this time, and it is in the most honorable "no criticism period".
Ye Bo himself doesn’t actually have much direction for the team.
From the perspective of "Prove Yourself".
A newcomer can be directly invited to replace a Korean mid laner who just won the S championship.
Is there any higher form of recognition than this?
From the perspective of "money", if you can complete the "challenge", you can get a 50% premium salary!
Even if the challenge fails, there is still the highest salary outside the market as a guarantee!
For the purpose of "Experience".
If Ye Bo wants to truly hone himself, then the most important stage is undoubtedly to enter the S World Finals.
Compared with BLG, or at this time, several other "marginal" teams with strong intentions.
Obviously, even if EDG does not perform well in the spring season this year, it will still have the potential to be a leader that far surpasses these teams.
This is also a very important point.
Ye Bo thought through it step by step.
He found that he couldn't seem to find a reason to refuse.
Of course, more importantly, he was confident that—
You can try to "win this challenge" yourself!
The only thing that is still a little strange is that Ye Bo still doesn't quite understand why EDG would have such a champion mid laner there and be willing to spend so much money to "bet" on himself at the same time?
Abu and EDG naturally have their considerations.
In fact.
The outside world does not know at this time the "dilemma" that EDG is facing.
The love and hate between EDG and Scout
The summary of the incident is that Scout is really "homesick". Since the start of the S9 season, he has wanted to return to the LCK every year, but he has never found a suitable team to want him.
After winning the championship last year, Scout, relying on his status as FMVP mid laner, wanted to take this opportunity to return to LCK.
So he took the super-max salary of 2000 million that EDG gave him during the offseason and went to negotiate with KT team, and finally reached an agreement of intent. The problem is that Scout's contract with EDG actually expires in one year!
As a result, KT directly sued Riot Games for not informing them of the "Double Contract Incident".
In the end, it was EDG that paid the tens of millions in liquidated damages for him, and Riot suppressed the matter, and then invited him back with a super-high salary.
This means that EDG will have to spend at least 30 million to keep Scout this year!
Anyone who sees it would definitely say that they have done their best.
But even so, EDG's top management still heard some news.
Since the middle of the year, Scout has been secretly contacting LCK, and even privately found one of the most "notorious" agencies in the LCK region, and is determined not to stay in the team in advance for S13.
This really disheartened the EDG top management, and they began to think about looking for a "successor".
So, compared to Scout's situation.
The 3 million season contract given to Ye Bo is actually nothing to EDG.
but.
If only we could find a truly possible successor!
So the "investment" made with this amount of money is not even a fraction of what was spent on Scout this year. What does it count for EDG?
And, in Abu's heart,
A newcomer will only play one summer season and at most one S season.
By next year, how much can you be worth?
This is a deal where both parties feel they have earned something.
Not long after.
Ye Bo answered Abu's call again.
"What do you think?" Abu asked in a sharp and impatient voice.
In fact, he is ready to take a step back and let the opponent enter the rotation with a salary that is still higher than BLG, but he will ensure that he can get as much experience as possible when playing against "weak teams".
Abu has great confidence in his own judgment of this newcomer whose upper limit is hard to see with the naked eye.
I definitely don’t want to let it go!
But what he didn't expect was that the other party's answer was very quick.
"I want to make one more request. I must have a lawyer read the contract before I sign it. Also, the number of appearances you mentioned must be clearly stated in the contract."
Now, it was Abu's turn to be confused.
He couldn't help but ask back: "You should have checked our upcoming schedule just now, right?"
"Of course~ This job is very challenging for me." Ye Bo responded naturally.
"But I think I can accept this challenge. I believe in myself."
Abu heard the confidence in the other person's voice.
He didn't say anything else, but deep down in his heart, he actually had some inexplicable expectations?
Can this person really do this?
You know, the following teams were all ahead of EDG in this year's Spring Season, and naturally they have all defeated them head-on.
It can be said that this is an absolute "devil's race".
Even the original team may not be able to do it.
"Then you should prepare yourself. It would be best if you can come to the base as soon as possible to sign the contract and then start the training camp as soon as possible."
"Your next game is this weekend."
Ye Bo calmed himself down, stood up and looked at the sunlight coming in through the window.
Feeling what was about to happen, his heart was filled with nothing but anticipation and excitement.
As for the upcoming opponents and tests, he was not the slightest bit timid, only filled with the surging will to fight.
Ye Bo's LPL expedition.
From this moment on, we will officially set sail!
"Coin brother, I'm coming out~"
These two chapters have been rewritten. I'll try my best.
No matter how you choose a team, there will always be people who are dissatisfied. In reality, the ending of S12 was very bad, so it doesn't matter what you choose.
Again.
If this has affected your reading experience, I hope we can meet again in the next book. Once again, the author sincerely apologizes to you.
But please don’t put any more pressure on me (because I can’t change it again no matter what, and if I do, I won’t be able to continue writing)
