Chapter 417: Transfer is approaching, and the storm is coming
The reason why he wanted to talk before the transfer period was because Edzhu knew that during this period, other clubs would definitely use various means to contact the players and offer extremely tempting conditions.
What?
Professional leagues prohibit such behavior?
Only a fool would believe that.
Anyone with a little life experience knows that when you go to a bathing center and see the words "XXXX is strictly prohibited", go directly to the third floor and you will never go wrong.
——If not, what's the point of banning it?
Moreover, just yesterday, a serious violation occurred in the LCK, which opened the transfer period relatively early.
The incident caused a lot of uproar and everyone in the world knew about it.
As a result, the coach had to take the blame and was suspended for four games in the regular season, which means that someone had to be replaced to ban/pick in these four games.
Then fine the individual 3 million won, and that's it.
Convert it.
It’s just less than 17,000.
This is still the LCK where the rules and regulations are the strictest.
If it were in the LPL, there probably wouldn't even be an insignificant ban.
What's more, not to mention the enforcement of this rule of turning a blind eye and the lack of specific regulations, if it is discovered, the poached party can only issue an announcement to condemn it, and it is only when it becomes "serious" that there is a "possibility" of being punished by Riot.
Think about reality.
Professional players with outstanding abilities are basically friends with each other.
Let's chat privately and want to play a game together. I jokingly said how much money the team estimated they could pay. Is that a problem?
No friends?
Just touch it in Rank!
The manager just squats in the training room and asks the players to make an offer when it's their turn. Who can solve this problem?
There is still more than a week left before the LPL transfer period. If Edzhu puts forward his conditions now, there is a high possibility that changes will arise when the time comes for the formal contract renewal.
The letter of intent is useless.
The interests are there, and several large clubs with strong capital would not mind paying an extra penalty.
Rather than escalating the situation, it is better to wait until the final moment to communicate.
The terms were agreed upon the night before and signed the next day .
Keep variables to a minimum.
This is Ed Zhu's personal idea.
Other clubs have their own considerations.
Needless to say, the two well-capitalized e-commerce companies have already prepared proposals and want to make a big splash in the new season.
Buy a monkey in the Year of the Monkey and buy a chicken in the Year of the Rooster. VG, which has always been known as "stupid and rich", is thinking of buying UZI to add to the meme as the Year of the Dog is coming soon.
Unfortunately, everyone knows that UZI is not for sale by RNG.
Given the unfair contracts in the e-sports industry, even if you spend a lot of money to get UZI in, he may not be able to play in the game.
But.
There are better options right now.
Then just buy a Jay...
"Brother Jie is not easy to buy..." VG manager Li Gaojun was troubled: "We have contacted Brother Jie several times, but Brother Jie did not respond. I guess there is a team that is interested. And as far as I know, it is not only our LPL region that is arguing. Top teams such as Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in establishing or naming League of Legends divisions."
The final between defending champion EDG and two-time champion SKT had a peak audience of 170 million.
Created a record in the history of e-sports.
Although there is still a big gap compared to the 720 million of the Champions League final in the same year, the consumption capacity of the target audience is far less.
But it is already a size that cannot be ignored.
In addition, e-sports has entered the Asian Games level of competition, and the prospects are very good.
Even the top wealthy families were tempted.
"Then add more money!"
VG boss Ding Jun was very happy: "In the past five years, we have invested almost a small goal in the LOL division. Is it enough to use half to buy General?"
"Not worth it, right?" VG manager Li Gaojun was a little confused.
Korean players are inexpensive and of good quality, and even a world champion like Monkey King only earns five million a year.
Local players are worth several times more.
RNG's core player UZI can currently earn 15 million.
This has reached the ceiling.
Fifty million is more than three times the fifteen million .
Converted into banknotes, it weighs half a ton.
Not to mention the e-sports circle.
In traditional sports, you can buy star-level players.
"It's not worth it." Ding Jun did the math: "It would cost at least several million to buy a top-notch top laner, plus a similar transfer fee."
"General is a free man, so he saved a lot of money first."
"Bringing popularity here will cost you 10 or 20 million in advertising fees."
"The point is... everyone else mocks me for spending the most money and getting the worst beatings, so I'm going to fight for that this year!"
"Understood, I'll contact them!" VG manager Li Gaojun said confidently.
…
"JackeyLove has already hit the grand slam? He is really lucky."
IG boss Wang Xuelong never expected that the AD who slipped through his fingers would directly achieve the highest achievement in LOL.
Originally, I wanted to trick EDG.
It has become technical poverty alleviation.
He glanced at Su Xiaoluo who was sitting next to him.
After giving it some thought, I decided not to say anything harsh to the employees who had similar personalities to me.
After all, Sima Laozei's performance this year was also quite good, helping IG win the fourth spot in the World Championship.
The gap is not on AD.
"Principal, I'll try to invite General over." Su Xiaoluo was very knowledgeable and tactful: "It's just about the price..."
"You go and negotiate, see how much General wants!" Principal Wang was very generous: "As long as it is a price that can be given in the LPL circle, I can give it. I don't think he will go overseas."
On treatment.
It is obvious that LPL and LCK cannot compare with Europe and North America.
Some wealthy European and American teams provide their players with villas with swimming pools. They can train for three or four hours a day and then go out to eat, drink and have fun. They can even invite a few popular actresses to come and show off.
It’s comfortable indeed.
But what can be trained in that kind of environment?
The professional world has always been like sailing against the current, if you don’t move forward you will fall behind.
If you just think about comfort every day, your grades will never be very good.
Besides, self-discipline is useless.
The league is weak.
No matter how self-disciplined a player is, if he does not have games of sufficient intensity to play, his performance will inevitably continue to decline.
Therefore, except for veterans who have reached a certain age and bottom-tier players who are not wanted by any team, almost no one will go to Europe and the United States to be foreign aid.
A lot of money?
That's in exchange for prospects.
Principal Wang feels that Xing Dao will stay in the LPL region no matter what.
As long as you stay in the LPL region, you will have the opportunity to buy it.
…
Time goes by day by day.
The transfer window at the end of 2017 is finally about to open.
As EDG is at the center of the vortex, its boss Ed Zhu has long lost the mentality of sitting back and watching the news one after another.
Arrive at the base early.
He asked Abu to find someone, and he stood at the door, acting politely.
"Xing Dao is here, come sit down!"
Seeing Xing Dao coming upstairs, Aide Zhu talked to him very cordially: "I watched all of your games , including the training games. It's just that you train too hard, so I never had the chance to play with you."
"Please take a seat first. You don't have to treat me as your boss. Just treat me as your friend."
"What kind of tea do you like? I have all the famous ones."
"Uh..." Xing Dao was not very comfortable for a moment: "Iced black tea, preferably iced."
Abu: “…”
Ed Zhu: "..."
