Chapter 41 041: No regrets
Before leaving, IG head coach Chris pulled the branch manager over and muttered, discussing something in a low voice.
"Brothers, I'm leaving first!" Gu Xing also waved goodbye to the IG players who had been his temporary teammates all afternoon.
Song Yijin extended an invitation to him, "Will you come tonight?"
Four training games allowed Rookie to see Gu Xing's full talent.
He thought that the other party might be able to carry IG together with him.
Gu Xing saw the expectation in Song Yijin's eyes and couldn't help but murmur secretly.
It's okay to play a few games now and then, but I can't stand it if I play with this bot lane group every time!
Throughout the afternoon, Gu Xing never saw an advantage in the bottom lane during the laning phase.
Before 15 minutes, a tower in the bottom lane was bound to fall. Rain would be thankful if he didn't fall behind by fifty or sixty bucks in each set.
He doesn't know where IG got the Korean aid from, it's really a bit outrageous.
He probably wants to give Rookie some weight-bearing training and strive to develop him into a dean-level mid laner.
With this thought in his mind, Gu Xing still smiled on the surface, "I didn't bring any luggage, so I definitely won't be back tonight."
Su Xiaoluo took him and Jack to leave the IG base together, and did not forget to yell at his head coach, "Chris, close the door!"
The child You Shen burst into hearty laughter, and the air inside and outside the base was instantly filled with joy.
Taking the elevator downstairs, Su Xiaoluo behaved very openly and was very affectionate to Gu Xing, "I'm treating you today, what do you want to eat?"
"A fast food restaurant will do." Gu Xing didn't want the other party to spend too much money.
Su Xiaoluo saw that he was embarrassed, so he took the initiative to make suggestions, "There is a Spanish seafood restaurant nearby. The seafood risotto is very fragrant, and the shrimps are fried in olive oil. Even the kid said he liked it after eating it, which shows the quality of the dishes!"< br>
As the god of ordering food, the child Youshen is very particular about eating and has profound attainments.
Just...
Gu Xing glanced at Jack imperceptibly.
"Xiao Luo, I'm allergic to seafood," JackeyLove's newly swollen face suddenly turned red, "I told you last time when we had dinner at the base."
"Ah, yes, yes," Su Xiaoluo remembered and slapped his forehead hard, "Look at my brain, I can't always remember things."
Jack laughed dryly and said nothing more.
In the end, Su Xiaoluo took the initiative and found a local restaurant and ordered braised pork, sweet and sour short ribs and a few vegetarian dishes.
"You two performed really well this afternoon," he handed over two cans of drinks, "I'm very optimistic about you."
Su Xiaoluo was not an idiot. He could naturally sense the potential of Gu Xing and Yu Wenbo.
"If you sign a contract with IG, I can guarantee you two generous treatment," Su Xiaoluo said to JackeyLove first. "The club's salary conditions for you are still the highest in the industry. We will follow whatever the opponent offers."< br>
"If it really doesn't work, Principal Wang can come and talk in person."
To Yu Wenbo, IG showed great sincerity.
This is the top talent that head coach Chris discovered in the national server.
He is young, strong, has a good personality and high emotional intelligence. He has a wide hero pool, and as a host, he has a group of fans...
No matter how you look at it, it is in line with the qualities that a good e-sports player should have.
Su Xiaoluo then looked at Gu Xing, "You can directly join the first team and rotate with Kid."
Gu Xing is also excellent in his eyes, similar to JackeyLove in every aspect.
My only regret is that I didn’t get into professional e-sports until I was 18 and a half years old.
This is not the era when the League of Legends just emerged. At the beginning, Sun Yeyou and others were transferred to the project when they were twenty years old, so the age problem was not prominent.
Nowadays, there are more and more young players like JackeyLove. Xiaohu is two months younger than Gu Xing, but he has already won his first LPL championship trophy in the spring.
However, his age is not a hindrance, but he doesn't get much bonus.
"To be honest, if you were two years younger, I could give you a similar treatment to JackeyLove," Su Xiaoluo shrugged, "But there is no other way. In this industry of e-sports players, being young does have advantages."< br>
Gu Xing could understand this, but the conditions Su Xiaoluo offered were no different from the first choice given by VG.
He also plans to try again, "If possible, I would like to play more games..."
Rotating in the LPL league sounds great.
However, IG's current jungler, You Shen, claims to have blocked an atomic bomb for his boss Wang Sicong, and is firmly in the starting lineup.
Unless the other party takes the initiative to give up his position, Gu Xing feels that the possibility of him taking over in just two months is very small.
Just from spending an afternoon together, he couldn't figure out the child's true character.
If the opponent can have a second-tier league team with a similar salary, Gu Xing feels that it would be good for him to be a starter in LSPL. If he performs well and gets bonuses, he will not get less money.
Su Xiaoluo frowned, and after taking a bite of the sweet and sour short ribs, he finally made a decision, "Okay."
Gu Xing was feeling happy when he heard the other party add, "I can set up another city hero competition team."
This time JackeyLove spoke first, "Is it okay to play in the LSPL, which is a higher level? It's fine for the two of us to play in the secondary league!"
Earlier today, he also received a message from Ding Jun, which also mentioned the option of purchasing an LSPL team. JackeyLove was also tempted.
Su Xiaoluo pondered for a moment, "That's inappropriate."
There is no quota for the City Heroes Competition, and all Internet cafe teams can participate at will without spending any money.
The sub-league quota is a real 7-figure investment.
In his opinion, what's the use of patronizing and being fierce with JackeyLove?
Isn’t Rookie strong? I almost didn't even make it to the playoffs with IG.
Teammates are key!
But if he wants to buy an LSPL spot, Su Xiaoluo doesn't have much time to form a new team.
The people in YG can directly drop down the league, and letting Gu Xing and JackeyLove continue to play in the secondary league with them is really making themselves uncomfortable.
So he rejected the idea.
JackeyLove felt that he could still save a little more, and asked the last question, "Then can I play LPL directly?"
There is no problem with his strength. Even without systematic professional training, he is still stronger than VG's Endless, let alone compared with Rain.
"I have said before that if you sign a contract, IG will try its best to let you appear on the LPL stage this summer," Su Xiaoluo emphasized again, "We have been communicating with the league during this period."
"The age limit for players in the LPL is still very vague..."
The answer was exactly the same as last time, and JackeyLove let out a sigh of relief.
"I want to think about it again," Gu Xing said simply, after finishing the rice in the bowl, "I will give you a reply after a while."
For now, the conditions and sincerity provided by IG are obviously not as good as VG.
Moreover, Ding Ran has connections with VG, so he feels that he can eliminate an option.
Su Xiaoluo took a deep look at Gu Xing, and after weighing the pros and cons, he extended his right hand to shake Gu Xing's hand, "I hope we have a chance to cooperate next time, and I wish you all the best."
Yu Wenbo was still thinking.
In the Shanghai stock market trial before the May Day holiday, he was more satisfied with IG.
First, there is a lot of money.
The second is that IG is in short supply of ADC, so he can get attention.
Third, there are players with good temperaments in the team who are very comfortable to get along with.
But this time when they came to the Shanghai market, VG decisively chose to follow up after discovering the potential between him and Gu Xing. The contract conditions they gave almost matched those of IG. They also lacked ADC, and the atmosphere in the team was quite harmonious.
Various things that happened in the afternoon, coupled with the conversation with Su Xiaoluo, made JackeyLove feel that IG was not the best option.
The message Ding Jun sent earlier made him clear his goal.
Play games.
Even if he might not be able to play in the LPL in the summer, Yu Wenbo still wanted to try out in the secondary league, just in time to compete with three of his friends from Greedy Sali and promote his reputation as the leader of the Seven Wolves of Ionia.
But the condition Su Xiaoluo gave him was to play in the City Heroes Competition, which couldn't be called a formal professional e-sports at all!
If he doesn't play professionally, wouldn't it be good for him to make money as an anchor?
Douyu almost regards him as his own son!
"Jack, I'm going back first," Gu Xing checked his backpack, "Let's just call him."
When Yu Wenbo came to IG this time, he also brought his suitcase with him. It seemed that he planned to stay here for a while.
When he heard this, his eyes flickered between Gu Xing and Su Xiaoluo.
After a moment, he responded and sat on the chair without moving.
Gu Xing didn't care.
Although after getting along with each other for the past few days, he and Jack's personalities were in tune and their relationship had grown by leaps and bounds, but they also had their own plans and considerations.
The two don't have to be on the same team.
After Gu Xing left the restaurant, he counted the money in his hand. His parents gave him some before going out. After arriving in Shanghai, he didn't have any extra expenses, so he still had a lot left over.
He was reluctant to take a taxi and ride 40 kilometers back. After checking the map, he went straight to the subway entrance. Taking Line 9 can also lead directly to the VG base in Haowangshan, Longhu.
During the evening rush hour, the subway station was crowded with people. As Gu Xing walked down the street, his cell phone suddenly buzzed.
It's a pity that there is no if/°: [Lao Gu, where are you? 】
After learning that he was at the subway station, JackeyLove responded quickly, [Come up, buddy, please take a taxi back]
Gu Xing asked a question this time, feeling something was wrong.
Unable to bear Yu Wenbo's urging, he could only return to the ground.
After scanning around, I found that JackeyLove was standing there dragging a suitcase in the corner next to the subway station.
"Are you crazy?" Gu Xing blurted out, "Can you still return to IG after doing this?"
"What are you afraid of?" Yu Wenbo said nonchalantly on the surface, "There are many clubs who want to recruit their buddies to join the team!"
Of course he knew what he was giving up.
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn.
But just like JackeyLove gave up her increasingly popular live streaming career a month ago and came to pursue a career without any hesitation.
Even though he matures precociously, he still has the enthusiasm of a 15-year-old boy and does not regret the choices he made.
See you at 5:50 in the evening.
PS: There will be a solution to the age problem.
