Chapter 11: 《The Last Dance!》 Carrying, Carrying, Carrying, Carrying the Pack!

Looking at these words, which clearly had a different style from the others, Ye Bo was truly intrigued.

[Last night, I watched your recordings from the past week. You are truly strong, and I have a feeling you still have a lot you haven't shown yet.]

[With your talent, standing out after entering the youth training camp certainly won't be difficult, but if you have confidence in yourself, I might suggest you consider trying to take a different path.]

Ye Bo hadn't actually been very familiar with this person before, but while catching up on gossip yesterday, he learned that the other party was currently an LDL coach, so his words carried some weight.

He roughly looked over what the other party meant by "a different path."

The LPL division has undergone multiple reforms regarding youth training in the past.

The first major reform was the "WSC Clause," born from the incident involving a certain 100% win-rate AD carry during the S8 era.

The gist of the clause was that from then on, all players entering the LPL had to play a full year in the secondary league to be eligible to compete, preventing another "parachuted coin-farming soldier" incident.

However, the officials later discovered that this one-size-fits-all approach clearly had problems.

Especially after the "baby lock" policy was implemented on the national server, the already unfavorable environment in the East was made even worse, dealing a major blow to the youth training system.

Therefore, after 2020, the clause was amended to: "One only needs a record of five or more matches in the Demacia Cup or LDL to join an official LPL roster."

This clause has been in use ever since.

That meant even if Ye Bo could sign with an LPL club today and they explicitly agreed to let him start immediately, he still didn't meet the "eligibility requirements."

No matter what, he had to play five matches in the Demacia Cup or LDL first; that was the minimum requirement.

Ye Bo had just learned of this clause while chatting with other youth training managers, so he knew the other party wasn't lying.

[Since you have to play five LDL matches regardless of whether you sign with a team now or later.]

[Then why not finish those five LDL matches first, and then sign?]

[There is something you might not know: youth training players can be promoted to an LPL main roster at any time, unrestricted by the transfer window.]

[So if you are confident in yourself, you can absolutely show your worth in these five LDL "entrance exams" first, then skip the "draft" and sign directly with a team. This way, there's actually no 500,000-cap signing limit.]

The meaning behind the other party's words was not hard to understand.

After a moment of thought, Ye Bo immediately realized that was indeed the case!

Since he had to play those five matches anyway, going offline for a trial, signing a contract, and getting tied down as a "new youth trainee" offered absolutely no benefits.

It was truly no different from just going to play the LDL and then signing!

The only prerequisite was that he had to actually make a name for himself in the LDL and truly prove his strength.

"Damn, I knew these people didn't have good intentions; it turns out they wanted to pick up my scraps!"

Ye Bo couldn't help but grumble.

However, he was still a bit curious: why would the other party tell him all this?

Ye Bo typed out the question directly.

[Because this year's youth training camp has already started. If you don't choose to sign with a team, following the normal process, you would likely have to wait until the end of the year for the Demacia Cup.]

[However, since the team I'm with is a "third-party team" in the LDL, and I hold a position in the LDL, we can help you apply to the officials to let you join temporarily as an "outstanding transfer student."]

[Anyway, you really only need the experience of those five matches. I believe you have the confidence for that, right?]

[As for my motive, it's actually quite simple: my goal is to become a coach in the LPL~]

Chujun stated his purpose very candidly.

Clearly, a "newly emerged genius mid-laner" who could continuously solo-kill active professional players and currently appeared to have no flaws in his champion pool would absolutely be an object worth investing in.

And if, in the future, Ye Bo could truly enter the LPL and successfully prove himself there.

Then Chujun, who introduced him, would naturally add a brilliant stroke to his own coaching resume!

Scouting players is, after all, the most basic professional skill for coaches and team managers.

For example, some professional "card-drawing" coaches...

Ye Bo knew this was clearly the most suitable plan for him right now!

He set a time with the other party.

Afterwards, he immediately shared this good news to the [Loving Family (3)] group.

That night.

Ye Bo held his final livestream.

The stream was titled: "The Last Dance!"

As soon as the stream started, many people flooded in. Numerous OB specialists who had been waiting to record the screen were also keeping a constant eye on this hot topic that had risen to prominence over the last two days.

"That's right, brothers! Today is the final dance of my streamer career. I'll strive to grind for first place tonight!"

"Can't help it, duck. Rank games can't put much pressure on me anymore, and the room for self-improvement is very limited. I have to put my energy into going pro~"

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow is the new starting point of my career!"

["Canyon thousand-point games can't put much pressure on him."]

[Holy crap? He's actually going pro? I have to go tell Brother Coin!!!]

[Good, good, good. RNG just won the championship and he's going pro? Is he going to RNG?]

[Sigh, to be honest, with his popularity so high, he's suddenly stopping his stream to go pro. Just go ahead and play, don't make a sound.]

[Since it's the last dance, and the streamer is so young, why not call your future ID—Ye Xiaowu!]

[Fly with confidence, streamer! A ten-year fan will follow forever! Protect the best Akali King in the world!]

[Forget the fake fans above. That withered Eriri, the sticky-footed Rebecca, the plump Fourth Sister—who exactly did you protect!]

[Will we see you again, streamer? When we meet again, you must be happy, okay? Streamer... streamer! How can I live without you? Take me with you! Streamer!]

The comments in the chat were strange and varied, with a small amount of skepticism and a medium amount of trolls.

But most were blessings.

Although most people expected that Ye Bo was just chasing a dream and would have to face reality and return to streaming after a while.

But clearly, anyone who knew even a little bit about the industry understood how much traffic someone who had just exploded in popularity the day before was worth.

Yet the very next day, he stopped streaming and announced he was embarking on this professional path that was clearly not well-regarded.

Regardless of the final result, it was at least quite inspiring.

The battlefield reporter marketing accounts lurking in the chat spread the news immediately.

And in his own livestream, the big streamer Teacher B saw the news in the chat.

His expression was clearly a bit unnatural at first.

"Very good! This, people want to go pro, what's the problem with that..."

"Streamer, are you afraid he'll chase you down and beat you up? Pity, just let him come!"

"The prerequisite is that he has to be able to make it to the LPL first!"

The big streamer soon returned to normal, showing an "it has nothing to do with me" expression.

That night.

In the Canyon of the Summoners, an urban legend played out: "After six o'clock, there is no more Akali in the Canyon."

After last night, almost all high-ELO players in the Canyon tacitly chose to put Akali on the ban list whenever that ID didn't appear in their own queue.

The account [Forty-year-old Aunt Wants to Go Pro] ultimately only ranked third in the Canyon with 1,557 LP.

Ye Bo felt this number was quite auspicious, so he didn't force it, stopped there, said goodbye to his friends in the chat, and ended the stream.

Then, he entered his "trial ground" right on time.

That night, he made many preparations.

The next morning.

Ye Bo hummed a little tune happily, feeling as if his life had finally begun a new chapter, his mood very pleasant.

The thing he had always chased and dreamed of now seemed to be within reach!

He walked out of his room, carrying his luggage.

"Carry, carry... carry it on my back, I'm carrying it!"

"Mom! What did you stuff in my bag!"

………….

Finally having successfully shouldered his pack, Ye Bo pushed open the door.

The door opened slightly, and sunlight pierced through the dust in the air, weaving into lines, each particle shimmering with warm radiance.

And Ye Bo, from this moment on, would officially embark on his journey!
