Chapter 18 "Five Challenges!"
Ye Bo looked at the message boards one by one and compared the conditions of each team.
Obviously, his choice to play five games in the LDL first was extremely wise.
The most obvious change is that all the team managers who come to him have changed from the original purpose of "reserving youth training talents" for the club to "recruiting a team of players"!
There is no doubt that Ye Bo's completely cross-level performance in these several games in the LDL has proven that he definitely has the ability to enter the LPL.
Even RNG, which has repeatedly hit the wall, is here again, even with the same manager!
The chat history interface between the two is still stuck on the sentence that the other party sent specifically after winning the MSI last month: "What about now?" 】
However, even if this happens again, the words still have the feeling of "We are here because we think highly of you!"
Ye Bo thought for a while and responded tactfully.
【I am deeply honored by your invitation】
【Sorry, the selection has already been made】
【Friendship spread is cherished】
【You must decline politely if you have no choice】
【^_^】
After typing a friendly blessing, he looked at other people's dialog boxes.
After looking around.
If we just look at the amount alone, the one that offered the highest price was my uncle’s team.
The reason is not because BLG people are stupid and have a lot of money, but my uncle is a professional at throwing coins.
Just because compared to other first-line teams with considerable financial resources, currently only BLG's mid laner is a relatively inconspicuous FOFO, the urgency of demand is naturally different.
Of course, there is actually one thing that Ye Bo doesn't know.
This is the role of surfing king Chen Zebin!
Ye Bo became popular for the first time because of a Luoyang shovel dug up by Station B and the other party's reply post.
But in fact, his intersection with Ye Bo happened even earlier.
I remember that the night before the MSI finals, when Ye Bo was queuing to Doinb, he once lined up a passerby top laner, which severely suppressed Duke Aoun's Qinggang Shadow.
And that one is actually Bin trained with trumpet Rank!
In fact, it only makes sense if you think about it carefully. How could a random player be able to reversely suppress a profession?
Therefore, Chen Zebin has "personally tested" the strength of this mid laner. When he returned to the BLG team from the RNG team in the summer split, he specifically gave his team manager a very high evaluation.
Only then did BLG rush over to place bets.
“Whoever is in the BLG lineup will support me Uzi!”
Ye Bo is still checking BLG’s summer split lineup.
WeChat, but suddenly a voice message rang out.
【McAb】
Speaking of which, Abramovich has always maintained contact with Ye Bo in the youth training camp. After all, everyone knows that Ye Bo is a free agent and all teams have opportunities.
However, in Ye Bo's decision, EDG was never considered.
The reason is simple, because last year's champion mid laner Scout had officially announced his contract extension with EDG at the beginning of the year.
What Ye Bo wants is to play in the competition.
However, out of politeness, he clicked [Connect].
"How are you, Ye Bo, want to talk?" Abu, who had a high-pitched voice on the other end of the phone, got straight to the point.
"Okay." Ye Bo also wanted to hear what the other party would say.
"Now, to be honest, I have seen you step by step during this period, 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 were not Scout, I would not have any hesitation and let you join the starting lineup immediately."
What Abu said is indeed sincere.
As the nominal head coach of the youth training camp, he truly witnessed Ye Bo from the first day of the youth training camp a month ago to the LDL competition a month later.
Its strength can be seen with the naked eye changing almost every day!
Of course he would not take Ye Bo's so-called "sleepwalking" anecdotes 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 several hours longer than others on average!
Diligence alone is one of them.
The most important thing is that the other party can really turn diligence into improvement!
As a coach who has been a coach for ten years, Abramovich 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 if I promise you, I can even sign a contract, guaranteeing that you will be the only starter for EDG next year." Abramovich continued to talk about his promise.
However, Ye Bo was still not moved when he heard this.
Things are too unclear for next season.
Even if each team can keep the original lineup unchanged, the results in the second year are likely to be very different.
Don’t even talk about the distance, let’s talk about this EDG!
Last year's S-League champion, the whole team competed again this year, but their performance in the spring split was only seventh in the league, and they barely made it into the playoffs, only a first round trip.
Except for SKT in S5, no other team has been able to break the "Champion's Curse" until now.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether the other party is trying to make a fool of yourself or not.
Even if it's true, the temptation of starting next season isn't that enticing.
However, Ye Bo successfully heard the "melon" flavor from it.
Look at it this way. Is it now confirmed that Scout will not stay in EDG next year?
"Sorry, Coach Abu, I don't want to be a substitute."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"As for next year, let's talk about next year."
Speaking of this, Ye Bo's tone actually clearly meant that he was expelling guests.
But it is 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 season contract of two million."
Ye Bo acquiesced without answering. It was not surprising that the other party knew this.
Don't underestimate this number.
You know, the maximum annual salary for a rookie No. 1 pick is capped at 500,000.
The highest record for a rookie contract can be traced back to Mr. Jack Ai during the S8 era. He once received a rookie contract of 3 million per year, and it still holds the record for the highest annual salary for a rookie to this day.
But in fact, Ye Bo's contract is a "season contract", which is equivalent to only half a year.
So in fact, this is a record-breaker!
Abu on the other end of the phone was obviously silent for a moment, and Ye Bo seemed to still be able to vaguely hear the sound of rummaging for something on the other side.
After a while, Abu opened his mouth again.
"I have an idea, I hope you can consider it."
"EDG hopes to prepare a betting challenge for you."
"The content is very simple. You will be the starter in EDG's next five regular season games. It will be treated as an "Assessment Challenge."
"If you can defeat no more than 3 small games in these five major games."
"Then EDG will pay you a premium of three million for the season contract, and it will be clearly signed to ensure that your subsequent games this year will not be lower than Scout."
When Abramovich said this, he also added a special explanation: "By the way! I have to emphasize that starting from this year, all contracts worth more than 1 million in the LPL have a 'bet' nature. This is a new industry regulation under this year's salary cap system. , Scout is the same.”
"However, if we fail during the challenge, we have the right to replace the person. I hope you can understand this."
"Even if the challenge fails in the end, we will still ensure that you have at least 20% of the total appearances, and we will still pay you the same season contract with BLG at the same price, and as mentioned before, you will be the only starter next year. Unchanged.”
"The only requirement is the "1+1" contract."
After hearing this, Ye Bo looked extremely surprised.
EDG is crazy! ?
【PS】：
Since many people have commented on this, I’m sorry to say a few points.
1. The team selection has been revised once. In the original version, I was criticized for a hundred floors in an hour, and the author was really difficult.
2. The author actually has no team-oriented tendencies. I have watched LOL games for 12 years since S2. Each team’s lineup has changed for countless rounds, and their mentality has long been Buddhist.
Frankly speaking, as an e-sports article writer, I long most for a team that is pure white lotus and acceptable to everyone, so that I can write articles with peace of mind.
However, you can think about it, with the current public opinion environment, is it still possible? (Unless any team wins the championship in S14 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 a plot process.
[There are still people who struggle with "rotation". Isn't it obvious that it is impossible to really develop into "rotation"? Please don't forget, we are the protagonists]
above.
If you still can’t accept it, it will affect your reading experience.
The author is here first, sincerely bowing and apologizing to you. I hope we can meet again at Qidian if we have a chance to read the next book.
But, please really don’t go to the book review section to get pressured.
I really don’t want to. I have to answer and debate this question in the book review area every day. It really affects my mentality and coding efficiency. I may delete it directly in the future. I’m sorry.
(The main thing is that it is meaningless, because no matter what, the team has been decided now, it is impossible to delete them all and write them again. If I change them, I will have to stop writing.)
