Chapter 418 LPL Ceiling
“Try this.”
“Although it’s not black tea, it tastes okay.”
Edward Zhu didn't actually go get the iced tea, but took out a tea cake from the drawer and made a pot of dark red tea.
Washed the tea leaves and cups twice in a row.
The third brew was 70% full.
"I feel like it's not as delicious as iced black tea..." Xing Dao took a small sip, not quite used to it.
"I don't think so either. I'm just following the trend." Ed Zhu picked it up and smelled it. "Don't say anything false. There must be a lot of offers outside during this period. I just want to say one thing here. What other LPL teams can offer, EDG can definitely offer as well."
"Here is a new contract. Take a look at it."
"If you have any requests, ask me."
When Ed
The first one is a professional contract, which is the kind that every player must sign.
For a period of one year.
After all, the players' conditions will fluctuate, and unless it is a "child labor" contract with a very suitable price, it is basically within three years.
The maximum salary contract is for one or two years at most.
Anyway, we have reached this level and can’t go much higher.
If there are no problems, renew the contract at a similar price.
When problems arise, losses can be stopped in time .
Xing Dao took a rough look and found that the various regulations were similar to the previous ones, with requirements such as full attendance, training time, rank points, league and competition results.
It’s just that the gap is not as big as in the bet, and you can still get two-thirds of the salary as a minimum.
Fifteen million in wages.
Thirty-five million signing fee.
Salary is based on performance and is paid monthly.
As the name suggests, the signing fee is given once the contract is signed.
There is no salary cap in the current LPL. Separating the two is, on the one hand, a sign of sincerity, and on the other hand, a reasonable tax avoidance.
The second is an economic contract.
It includes a series of things such as live broadcast, endorsement, advertising, commercial activities, etc.
The distribution ratios for different aspects are also different.
For example, there is no commission for live streaming, you can get whatever signing fee you have, and you only need to split the gifts in half with the platform, which is the standard treatment for a free agent.
The rest depends on the specific situation, ranging from 37% to 55%.
Of course, the club takes 30%.
The third document is a share transfer agreement, which states 35% of Haishu Yangchuan Company, which is 3.5% of EDG Shanghai Yangchuan, one percentage point higher than the factory director.
The symbolic significance here is greater than the practical significance, and not much money can be realized in cash.
However, judging from the operation of the EDG club and the prospects of e-sports, the future can be expected.
In terms of pure cash, not the most.
When the VG club was discussing privately, the price had already been offered to be 60 million.
TL, a North American tycoon that started out as a traditional sports player, offered even more and promised a series of additional benefits. Fearing that Xing Dao might have concerns, they simply brought up the example of signing Impact for US$3.4 million last year and paying him the full amount even though he didn't perform well.
As a two-time FMVP top laner in his prime, Xing Dao's price would be three times higher than that of Impact, a has-been champion, as long as he is willing to go to TL.
After tax though.
But...
The first one Xing Dao eliminated was TL.
If you want to play in a competition, why go to North America?
In EDG, the so-called one-on-four means leading four teammates. Unless you encounter a particularly strong team, you can actually get by easily.
Except for the mid laner, everyone in North America has moving blue trinket eyes. Who the hell can lead them?
not to mention.
The Asian Games are coming soon.
Even though it is a performance event, it is a real medal and an absolute milestone achievement.
Xing Dao went to North America and obviously couldn't come back to participate.
As for the ten million knives...
When money reaches a certain level, it's just a number.
Xing Dao didn't have any extravagant pursuits like buying luxury cars, yachts or even private jets, so the money he had was enough for him.
“There are no more requests.”
Xing Dao put the contract on the table and asked, "How about the others?"
"Mingkai (Zhaozhiming) wants to retire. Let Zhaozhiming (Ailori) try in the German Cup and the Spring Split. If he doesn't work, he can't retire either." Abu said in a rogue tone: "Ashui and Xiaozhao (iBoy) both want to continue playing, but both want to start; Meiko has confirmed the contract extension, and Scout... seems to be thinking about returning to LCK."
"If Brother Changzi and A Shui are both here, I won't consider other teams." Xing Dao still decided to stay in EDG.
"To be honest, I prefer Xiao Zhao. Ah Shui is not that stable." Abu said, "If you think Ah Shui is better, the club should keep Ah Shui and try to get Xiao Zhao."
Two ADs can take turns playing during the regular season.
When it comes to the crucial playoffs and world games, the one with less coordination can only watch by the water dispenser.
Apparently not that comfortable.
Therefore, A Shui and Xiao Zhao both regard starting as the most critical requirement.
EDG can only satisfy one.
"If it's confirmed, we'll sign the contract tomorrow and submit it to the official for filing."
Aide Zhu reminded him: "Take the contract first, you can find a lawyer to help review it. A good lawyer will only cost a few thousand yuan."
"No problem!" Xing Dao obviously would not be polite in this regard.
It is safer to deal with the villain first and the gentleman later.
After the contract issue is settled.
Xing Dao logged into his Korean server account again and started ranking.
During the World Finals, professional players need to play in the officially designated Canyon of Heroes, and the Korean server can only do maintenance.
After the World Finals.
The players of LZ, SSG, and SKT, who had lost successively, all started a crazy rush for points.
As a result, Xing Dao's ranking fell outside the top 20.
The factory manager is even worse off.
The former top three players of Rank have fallen out of the top 100 and are now ranked around 150 as the "king of the mixed group".
In fact.
Throughout the S7 season, Zzai's Rank performance was average.
This is also one of the reasons why the factory director has the idea of retiring.
In that era when there was no profit to speak of and people worked purely for passion, the pursuits of professional players were very pure.
I also have high demands on myself.
The only goal is to win the championship.
When you are unable to do something, you should not think about how to get by, how to pass the buck, or how to protect your reputation, but to retreat while the going is good and not hold others back.
"Are you sure you want to stay?" The factory manager asked when he saw Xing Dao returning to the training room.
"Confirmed." Xing Dao nodded.
"That's a good thing! When we play in the German Cup, you can lead Zhao Zhiming and help him get familiar with the rhythm." The factory manager advised.
In last year's German Cup, EDG just let the second team make up the numbers.
No one was using the team that just won the world championship to bully others.
Because last year we just changed an AD who was more focused on development and team fights, it doesn't have much impact on the overall style. We just need to play some training games and get some proper adjustments.
This year, there has been a turnover in the jungle position, which is a key rhythm point, and it is clear that formal training is needed.
"Zhao Zhiming may not be able to do it..."
Xing Dao knows Ai Loli.
Say bad.
It's not that bad.
The level of the league is still there.
But when put in the championship puzzle, it is an obvious shortcoming.
If Zzitai wants to retire, the most suitable jungler for EDG is undoubtedly MLXG, who is about to be replaced by Karsa. EDG is more suitable than RNG to support Xiangguo's reckless style of play.
What a pity.
The ability to contract with RNG cards.
EDG wants to buy Xiangguo to play, but the possibility is basically non-existent.
"If it doesn't work, I'll go in again! Let him try first." The factory manager was determined to retreat: "The key is the mid lane, I don't know if Scout can come back."
During the offseason.
Scout returned to Korea.
This in itself is not a good signal.
In the LPL region, there are not many mid-lane players with sufficient strength.
On this basis, those who are willing to sacrifice for the team are even rarer.
If Scout leaves, the impact on EDG will be greater than that of General Pawn and Deft combined.
"Jungle...Mid lane..."
Xing Dao thought about it, and two IDs that seemed worth trying came to mind...
